    CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AUGMJSTA, GA.
FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 28,1870
THE WRATH TO COME.
We must get rid of Reconstruction in the
South as soon as possible, in order that the
North may have a taste of her own physic.
Since the XVth Amendment has been
virtually adopted and will be very soon
pronounced the law of the land, we ardently
desire to witness its effect upon certain
loyal communities which are violently
divided upon the subject. We also wish
to test the exact value of Speaker Hitch
man’s threat in New York, Mr. Bird’s men
ace as to New Jersey. Gov. Haight’s pro
uunciamento in California, and the deter
mination of Maryland and Kentucky. We
want the test made among the people who
have helped torment ns. There have been
distinct enunciations of violent opposition
to this Amendment. The emphatic warn
ing of Gov. Haight is the boldest yet made
public and we give it as an illustration of
what some men dare utter, at least, if their
execution should fall short of their bravado.
Gov. Haight says:
“But sir, I take this occasion, if 1 did not
say it then, to say it, that speaking for my
self, and I believe I am uttering the senti
ments of the Governor of the State of Cali
fornia, andof every member of the Demo
cratic party, I take this occasion to say
that we will not submit to this Fifteenth
Constitutional Amendment, if it is passed
in the manner proposed; that we will nol
submit to it anyhow, but we will fight il
incessantly, resolutely and all the time.—
Our resistance may take divers and various
forms. We may resist it by the instrumen
tality provided in the courts. Or, when il
becomes engrafted in the Federal Consti
tution, we may resist it by ceaseless politi
cal agitation; thus get a majority in Con
grees; then, sir, we may introduce auothei
amendment,|repealing this Fifteenth Amend
ment. Or it may be possible that we wil
resist it in this way: that when it become!
a part of the Federal Constitution, or £
Chinaman comes up to vote, or a negr<
either, the friends of white suffrage may bi
so numerous that we will make it rathei
warm for them. We may provide our
selves possibly with pegging-awls, ant
when a negro or a Chinaman, or possiblj
a ReDublican, comes up to vote, we wil
prig him a little. There are various means
of resisting this thing other than the ab
surd, and I hope soon to be obsolete, man
ner of appealing to the arbitrament of tht
sword. Now, I have referred to the va
rious ways in which this thing can be re
sisted without resort to arms. I will saj
farther, not speaking for the Democratic
party as a party, because I do not rise hen
to disclose the secrets of theorganization-
I will say this, that I have heard member!
of the Republican party say—l have hcarc
men say, who, when the thundering drum!
of war summoned the patriotic men of thii
country to the defense of an imperilled Re
public, men who carried the country’:
standard from Bull Run to Appomattox
I have heard this kind of men say tha
when they should see the vote of an intelli
gent man countervailed at the ballot-bo:
by the votes of pagans and barbarians, tha
then, sir, they would be prepared for th
direst, the most calamitous civil war.-
That, sir, I have heard Republicans say
and these editors and shedders of ink ca
put it in their pipes and smoke it.”
Brave words bravely spoken. We shal
some day know how ranch substance the
possess, for as the XVth Amendment ca
not execute itself, Congress must perforc
administer it, under pressure, at the poin
of the bayonet. But while these articula
tions sound across the continent like th
blare of the battle-trump, Congress nc
only prepares the XVth Amendment bu
proceeds to anticipate its proclamation b
additional declarations of authority. Go:
ernor Haight fumes but Congress act:
We have the Rump Parliament. We hav
frantic efforts at repeal. What more
wanted to repeat the drama enacted lor
ago by our English ancestry, save tht
Cromwell shall stride forth, and under tli
garb of simplicity conceal a more than iu
perial soul and a despotism worse tha
lascivious royalty. Well, let him come ;tt
sooner the better. One tyrant is better tha
several hundred Jack Ketches, and, wbc
Cromwell dies, the Restoration will begli
BAYONET SUPREMACY.
Senator Morton, of Indiana, is at once
the ablest and most audacious of the Radi
cal leaders. He is the exponent of the
policy of tiie dominant faction and what
he utters seriously is worthy of attention.
Our readers arc referred to the following
declaration of this Radical chief, which
was acquiesced in by every Senator of the
same creed:
“ I think, Mr. President, that the experi
ence of the last eighteen months has
brought the Congress of the United States
now to the point that we should declare
that we accept of the legal consequences of
the doctrine of reconstruction. I know
the common idea was, without considera
tion, a year and a. half ago, that when
these States were once admitted, or, if you
please, restored to representation, they
passed entirely from qpder the jursdiction
of Congress and we were done with them.
Sir, that was illogical, and experience has
now shown that we cannot stand upon
that doctrine. We must follow the doctrine
of reconstruction to its consequences, and, if
necessary, we must deal with tlietse States after
they have been readmitted.'’
Echoing those words, certain negro
speakers at Richmond, Va., the other day,
insulted the poor old “ Mother of States ”
by asserting that she was still on proba
tion, in spite of re-admission, reconstruc
tion and the cannon-firing, and that, if she
was not a tractable pnpil, she would be
spanked and expelled again aud again. As
if to fortify this position, we have chanced
upon a conversation, reported in the Cou
rier-Journal, occurring between a leading
Radical and a Conservative. We quote so
much of the dialogue as is pertinent:
“ ‘The true policy of Congress is to re
duce the Southern States to the condition
of provinces,.and place them under mili
tary rule. That is the ohly safety for the
Republican party.’ ‘ But,’ said a Conserv
ative, ‘the South has done all Congress
has required. Why seek to deprive them
of their rights under the Constitution?
What danger can you apprehend from
them? Have they not, siuce the war,
made earnest efforts to resume their proper
places in the Union ?’ ‘ I look to the fu
ture,* replied the Radical. ‘ The danger is
not Irons them: that exists in the North.
There is a great revolution in the North
against the Republican patty, and the
Southern States, by their votes, will restore
the Democratic party to power.”’
We do not doubt but this Radical ex
pressed the fears, the designs and the deter
mination of his party. To perpetuate Radi
cal rule everything will be done, no matter
how unlawful. The people of the South
are practically powerless to prevent this
assort and they can only fold their arms, re
fuse to participate, and let the inquity plunge
on. It will not stop here. Very soon, the
East and the West will have their pro
vinces and satrapies, and hell will be or
ganized on the Border. The less we have
to do with the vile thing of Reconstruction
the sooner will it reach the point of uni
versal application or deliberate resistance
among those who begot tike monster. The
South may as well make up her mind that
She can do nothing to prevent the coming
of the sword. The responsibility of stop
ping the Man on Horseback must rest with
those who sent him forth as the queller of
liberty. If they have any manhood they
will cut shart his infamous career in their
midst. If they are ripe lor serfdom, we of
the South shall be happy to help in their
effectual reconstruction. So, drive on Mes
sieurs Grant, Terry and Beast Butler !
We are accustomed to your caterings here.
Go water your horses in the Ohio, the
Potomac, the Hudson and San Francisco
hay.
Mr. Dawes.— The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Oazette is in daily
expectation of Mr. Dawes taking back
every word he uttered—data, argument,
conclusion and figures. The same corres
pondent adds:
«it is dangerous to trust to ‘ Conserva
tive Radicals.’ It is well known that every
sort of inducement has been held out to
him to recant. The only subterfuge for
real merit available to the poor set who
have possession of the Executive branch
of the Government was the lying assertion
that they were ‘ rapidly paying off the
National debt by the practice of rigid econo
my in the public expenditures.' This glaring
falsehood (often refuted by Democrats) was
forever nailed to the forehead of the Secre
tary of the Treasury by Mr. Dawes, in Uie
speech referred to. Hence the superhunmn
efforts to prevail upon him to eat his words.
He is, consequently, at this moment the
most important man in Congress.”
Yes; your Conservative Radical is a fishy
and unreliable fellow. Witness Senator
Sprague, who has had the lock-jaw ever
since he told the truth about his party.
A Conservative Republican.— Of all
forms of Radicalism,Conservative Repub
licanism is the meanest and most hypocrit
ical. Take Senator Trumbull, of Illinois,
as a specimen. His knowledge of law is
tog considerable to allow him to justify
many of the mad schemes of Radicalism,
but he is behind none of his compeers in
the practical violation of his conscience
aud his reason. He ridiculed and denounced
the imposition of conditions upon Virginia
aud yet voted to enslave Georgia. His
whole course in the Virginia affair is a con
demnation of his attitude toward Georgia.
Out upon Conservative Republicanism and
the hypocrites abetting it!
Broken Pledges. —The New York World
is proving that the Radical party has
broken every substantial pledge it ever
made to the people as a bid for continuance
in power.
If the War Democrats had not primarily
broken their covenant with the South in
1860-61. the World would have been spared
all cause for animadversion and the Radi
cals would have had no power to make or
break pledges. If the Radicals are engaged
in anew rebellion, why don’t yon subjugate
them; why don’t you raise regiments and
put them down ?
A Curiosity. —Senator Hinton, of
Terry’s machine at Atlanta, admitted that
he had been a Justice of the Inferior Court,
but, at the direction of Gov. Brown, took
the qualifying oath without swearing to
support the Constitution of the United
States. Commenting upon this, the Mis
souri Republican says : “ The incomprehen
sible part of the affair is that the aforesaid
Joe Brown should now be the reconstruct
ed Chief Justice of Georgia, and an accepted
leader of the Radical party, while Mr. Hin
ton should be thought unfit to sit in the
Georgia Senate.”
A Point.— The negroes in the Missis
sippi Legislature claimed that representing
a majority of the Radical party in that
State they had the right of selecting one of
the Senators. Hence the election of mulatto
Revel. Adjust your eye-glasses, Alpeoria,
and make your point. The Georgia blacks
being at least five eighths of the Radical
party here are surely entitled to some high
honors. Make your point, Bradley, make
your point. Give Terry one Senatorship
and demand the other for yourself.
Progress. —One amendment of the Vir
ginia bill assumes the prerogative of Deity
by prescribing absolute laws for posterity.
Virginia is ostensibly forever deprived of
the right to frame any ordinance disfran
chising any class now entitled to vote or
hold office by the present Constitution.
Well, go on resolving that the Future
must be your slave; but God shall smite
thee, and our children shall smite thee,
thou whited wall!
Dainty.— Some young ladies In Ohio
lately refused to be baptised in the church
pool .iust after a negro man had been sub
merged.
These girls are probably great Radicals
in theory. The clergyman is no doubt of
the strictest loyalty, since he gave Sambo
the precedence. N
Worse Than Tight.— Adverting to Gen.
Terry’s perambulator pill doctrine, the
New York Herald says:
“ The Constitution as it is, we are thus
beginning to see, is considerably tighter
than ‘ the Constitution as it was.’ ”
“ Tighter ?” Ay, it is dead drunk.
Poor Fellow. —We shall soon cease to
hear of Mark Twain as a “ jokist.” He is
on the eve of matrimony. “ Where be
your quips now ?” Mark how they shall
perish betwixt tbe twain.
Revel. —The new “ negro Senator’ from
Mississippi is not a negro at all. He is a
bright mulatto.
Dead.—Henry Placide, the famous
comedian, died recently at an advanced
age. He was & native of Louisiana.
More Lightning in the N6rth.—Speak
er Hitchman, of New York, has already
dared Congress to count New York among
the ratifying States, and, from the follow
ing extract of & speech delivered in Con
gress December 20, by the Hon. John T.
Bird, of New Jersey, we have articulate
mutterings which may swell into a storm.
Mr. Bird "said:
“ I tell tbe majority not to suppose that
their unholy purposes are accomplished
when they have passed this bill, and com
pelled poor Georgia to go under the yoke.
Think not that all others will fear the grim
visage of Radicalism, and also bow the
neck in humble sabmission. No ;if I un
derstand the temper of the people, this
strange, unnatural and outrageous inter
ference with the rights of a free people will
never be accepted by those who sincerely
love a constitutional form of government
honestly and faithfully administered. You
may append this change to the Constitution,
bat the people of many States will neither
respect nor obey It. It will be denounced
as illegitimate, and those who stand as its
sponsors to-day, will, in the hour of its
peril, flee from its vindication. It will be
ignored and resisted. Great and sovereign
States will not yield to an intolerable
degradation at the dictate of force, whether
it be aimed at them through a Congression
al majority directly, or through the action
of a far-off State.”
Champagne Baths and $5,000 Suppers.
—A gentleman recently from Washington,
and who was there while Bollock was cut
ting up-his highest jinks, informed a mem
ber of the Legislature that the supper Bul
lock gave Butler and other to
celebrate the passage of the Georgia bill,
cost $5,000; also, that Bullock, in order to
keep up during the night and day sessions
of Congress, took three champagne baths
at $75 each. Who pays ?
The Great Gold Conspiracy.
FISK, JR., AND JAY GOULD BEFORE THE IN
VESTIGATING COMMITTEE —RICH DEVEL
OPMENTS—WHAT WAS DONE ON DARK "FRI
DAY.
On Saturday Jay Gould and James Fisk,
Jr., appeared before the House Committee
at Washington and underwent an exami
nation*of several hours, during which their
disclosures were rich. They were permit
ted to give their evidence in their own way.
THEIR DEBIGNS ON THE PRESIDENT.
They then commenced by stating that
they were managers and interested parties
in the Erie Railroad—a corporation that
• ought to earn sixteen or seventeen millions
a year, and which was one of the principal
trunk lines in moving the Western crops
to the Eastern markets. When gold was
high, as in ’66, ’67 and ’6B, the price of the
crops was also high, and naturally enough
moved rapidly to market. Last spring they
saw that gold was on the decline, and
looked forward to see what would be the
result, if it continued to go down, in moving
the crops in the fall, as they were largely
interested to know what kind of a business
their road would do when that time came
around. They made up their mind that the
price of the crops would beogoverned by
the price of gold, and that the price of gold
would be governed a good deal by the
financial policy of the Administration ; and
to ascertain the latter Mr. Jay Gonld first
directed his attention. They therefore
commenced opperations on the 15th of June,
’69. when President Grant was on board
the Sound steamer Fisk & Gould, on his
way to the Boston Jubilee.
THE PRESIDENT DOESN’T TALK RIGHT.
The President attended a dinner, at
which seven others were present, and the
conversation turned upon finances, “ and
it appeared,” says Fisk, “ to our astonish
ment, that Grant was studying financial
matters, ancl that he intended to rule them
in his Administration; and we were still
more surprised when we discovered that he
was ou the road to specie payments, for it
struck us like a dash of cold water.” Mr.
Gould at once proceeded to argue to the
President that it was bad policy to put
gold down in the Fall—that, with gold at
20, the crops would not be moved. The
policy of Secretary McCulloch was referred
to as having been the true one in that par
ticular, as he always kept gold high in the
Fall to give the West a good price for its
crops. To this the President replied:
“ Well, gentlemen, we might as well prick
the bubble now, for it has got to be done
some time.” This was all that took place
then, and the President was not sounded
again until he appeared at Long Branch in
July, when he did not seem to care to talk
further on the subject.
THE PRESIDENT’S BROTHER-IN-LAW AP
PEARS.
In the meantime Mr. Gould had become
acquainted with the President’s brother-in
law, Mr. Abel R. Corbin, and they fre
quently talked over the effect of the decline
of gold on the business of the country, and
both agreed that no man was then making
a dollar in legitimate trade, and that it
would grow worse as gold declined. Cor
bin believed with Gould, that if this theory
were correctly represented to the President
aud Secretary Boutwell, it might induce a
change. Accordingly Mr. Gould wrote to
Mr. Boutwell, and received a reply which
did not indicate what the Government
would do in financial matters. This was
the.last of July, and Grant was then on his
watf to Newport on board of Fisk & Co.’s
steamer. Gould wrote a letter to the Pres
ident, stating that he had information that
three hundred vessels were then on the way
to Liverpool from Mediterranean ports, en
gaged to move the crops in Europe. Gold
was then 38 aud 34 in New York*; and in
sending this letter to the President by Mr.
Fisk, Gould requested the latter to say to
Grant that if the Government would decide
not to sell’ gold, the price could be put up
in the market, the crops could be moved by
rail to New York, and thence by water to
European markets, and that business would
thrive again. Fisk says he had a long con
versation with Grant to this effect, aud the
result was that the President wrote to
Boutwell; but he learned subsequently
that the latter had made no- reply. The
witnesses then detailed how, through Cor
bin’s influence, Gen. Butterfield was made
Assistant Treasurer at New York. It was
first intended to make Catherwood (Cor
bin’s son-in-law) the Assistant Treasnrer,
but it was opposed on the ground of rela
tionship, and Butterfield was put in. This
appointment confirmed to Gonld Corbin’s
influence with Grant, aDd they both talked
over frequently the financial situation.—
Corbin said gold ought to be higher, and
he believed it could be put up and money
made out of the transaction. Having got
Butterfield in the proper office, Corbin said
he had conceived the idea of controlling
the Government on the gold question.—
Gould says that Corbin commenced at
once to interview Grant, and that he
(Gould) afterwards interviewed Corbin.—
The latter reported that he could regulate
Grant, and on these assurances the first
transaction was made.
GEN. PORTER AND MRS. GRANT.
Gould testifies that he bought two mil
lions and a half of gold at 37. Half a mil
lion was for Mrs. Grant, half a million for
General Porter, Private Secretary to the
President, and the rest was divided between
Corbin and Gould. Fisk testifies that Cor
bin told him that Mrs. Grant s gold had
been sold out and netted a profit of $25,-
000, which had been remitted to her at
Washington. This was in the beginning of
September, and it appears from the evidence
that Fisk did not step into the speculation
until then, when Gould introduced him to
Corbin by letter, which was followed by a
three hours’ interview. Corbin said on this
occasion to Fisk that everything was
fixed ; that the understanding with Grant
was perfect; that no gold was to be sold by
the Government, and that no uneasiness
need be felt, aud Fisk could go on and buy.
The latter says he was incliued to doubt
Corbin’s statement at first, but he was so
explicit in his details and positive of the
results that he finally believed all he said.
Corbin repeated: “ I am right behind the
throne. Give yourself no uneasiness.”
About September 15 Corbin applied to Fisk
and Gould for a trustworthy, confidential
man to take a letter in great, haste to the
President, who was then at Washington,
Pa., and to telegraph instantly back what
the President said. W. O. Chapin was the
man selected.
A MESSENGER SENT TO THE PRESIDENT.
He received the letter from Corbin at 6,
a. m., and started for that place, reaching
the house where Grant was staying at 7, a.
m, the next day. He sent up a card, “W.
O. Chapin, from Mr. Corbin,” and the Pres
ident came down at once, and, receiving
the letter, partially read it, went out of the
room, and in about fifteen minutes return
ed, and said to Mr. Chapin “ It is all right.”
Fisk testifies that soon thereafter they re
ceived a telegram from Chapin, saying
“ Letter delivered. All right.” This was
the Wednesday preceding the Friday of the
panic. The next day (Thursday) Corbin
was interviewed, and said to Fisk, “ All is
now right. That letter has clinched it.”
Fisk and Gould then say that on that state
of facts, that the Government would not
interfere, the afternoon of that Thursday
went into Wall street and commenced to
buy gold. When they commenced gold
was 36%, and before dark it was 41. Fisk
interprets here an account of the dinner
given by members of the Union League to
Secretary Boutwell, iu New York, on this
very afternoon, at which he says the bears
failed to get any financial information,
which caused a split in their ranks and
compelled them to commence to cover their
“shorts,” thereby adding to the general
influence that was sending gold upward.
This was incidentally, he adds, a part of
the combination.
DARK FRIDAY.
On Friday morning—known as the dark
Friday—Fisk testifies that Gould and him
self reappeared in Wall street, and that
Williom Belden, a banker, came to them
and said that he had heard that gold was
going still higher; that Fisk and others
were buying, and that to get in the pool he
would give Fisk a letter—which was read
to the committee—authorizing him to bay
and sell, and that he would stand the profit
and loss. One Albert Speyer, who has
been examined, was Belden’s broker.
Speyer was at once sent to the Gold Room
to buy, aud found gold had risen to 43. He
filled his orders and came back, and said he
believed he would “ buy some on his own
hook.” Fisk s&ys he told him the whole
HTgp-rr
thing Was beginning to look scafee, and if
he wanted some of it the quicker he got
some of it the better, • (There was a great
laughter in the committee room tt the man
ner in which the witness related this.)
When Speyer got back to the Gold Room
he found great excitement, and participat
ing in it himself, he bought all the way to
160, being one of those kind of men, said
Fisk, that he believed if gold rout to 160 in
three minutes, that it would go in an
hour. While this was going yfc i n New
York, the witnesses state that they learned
that Secretary Boutwell was closeted with
President Grant in Washington at 10:30, a.
m., and about 11:30 over came an order
from the Secretary to General Satterfield
to sell four millions of Government gold
The first they knew of this was when this
man Speyer came into the badj; office of
Heath & Cos., hatless and wltMhis shirt
collar torn off, shouting in a ex
citement, “ Mein Gott, Hein Gott the
whole thing is played out. Boutwell has
sold four millions, and I gets fifty millions
at 60 ! ’
The witnesses detail how they left the
street by the back door, fearing violence in
the excitement, and got up town, \vhene
Fisk at once saw Corbin for an explanation
of this sadden action of the Government
addressing him thus: “ This is a d—d prettv
job you have set up.”
“ What situation are you in?” inquired
Corbin.
Fisk answered: “We can’t We
may all be ruined; we don’t know.”
CORBIN THINKS THERE IS A MAtAKE.
Mr. Corbin answered: “There must be
some mistake. Our arrangements were ex
plicit, and Boutwell must have sold gold
contrary to Grant’s orders.”
Later in the evening of the same day, at
another interview, Corbin said he and his
wife would go at once to Washington and
have the sale of gold Mrs.
Corbin said she had received arotef from
Mrs. Grant saying that she wished “ the
speculation was over, as it made her hus
band nervous.”
This was the last that Gonld and Fisk
saw of Corbin. Jay Gould testified that
Assistant Treasurer Butterfield was in the
speculation, and that he (Gould) Was carry
ing gold for him at the time.
At the close of Fisk’s statement the
chairman of the committee said: “ Are
you able to state of your own knowledge
if any Government official was engaged in
this transaction?” Fisk answemfi: I am
under oath, and I have stated exactly to
the committee what connection any Gov
ernment official had with it. I have stated
to you the precise offices in which Grant
figured, as 1 understood it on thqinforma
tion derived from Mr. and Mrs. G«bin.”
In concluding, Mr. Fisk askecTfhe com
mittee to summon Mr. and Mrs. Corbin and
Mrs. Grant; and submitted that the Erie
Railroad, New York Central and Atlantic
and Great Western were doing a very
poor business, owing to the fall in prices
caused by the decline in gold—facts, they
maintain, that justify their position last
Spring on this financial question.

ADDRESS OF THE SPEAKER.
Speaker McWhorter, on taking the Chair,
briefly addressed the House as follows:
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:
We have assembled here to-day, in obe
dience to the proclamation of the Provis
ional Governor. That proclamation Is
based upon the authority given him by the
Congress of tbe United States under the
act assented to December 23, 1869, which
has for its object the promotion of the re
construction in Georgia.
More than four years ago the work of re
construction commenced. I fear we will
live to regret the great mistake we made in
rejecting the first terms of settlement sub
mitted to us by Congress, for it offered to
ns more of liberty than has ever been offer
ed to any subjugated people since the be
ginning of time.
We are again called to pass upon this
question. It is one of no ordinary moment
to us. Upon your action, to a great extent,
depends our future political existence. Let
us hope that prudence, moderation and
practical common sense will control our
actions. We are the conquered, the Gov
ernment the conqnerer. We have other
—, —, . I I ■ ' I
duties, also, to perform. Under the politi-1
cal excitement of the day,the material in- j
terests are being neglected. Free labor can |
not be made permanently useful without j
mental culture. N The idea that a free peo- j
pie can prosper in ignorance is fatal. Qur
Treasury must necessarily be depletinp;‘and
our taxes will become extraordinarily bur
densome without reform.
Then let us forget the past—it is gone
from us forever. Let us take hold of the
questions of to-day, and dispose of them,
looking only to the future interests of our
people.
With the most profound sentiments of
regard for this renewal of your confidence,
I now declare the House organized and
ready to proceed to business.
Tweedy hastily moved to adjourn.
The motion was put, and McWhorter
declared that the House was adjourned till
10, a. m., to-morrow. He would not notice
a call for division.
A Strange Story about Mr. Stanton.
—The special correspondent of the Charles
ton News telegraphs that paper from Wash
ington, under date of the 19th instant, as
follows:'
A queer story has prevailed here several
days, to the effect that Edwin M. Stanton,
in a fit of insanity, produced by illness,
committed suicide by cutting his throat!
It will be remembered that no one outside
of the family were allowed to see the re
mains, even oh the day of the funeral; and
this has given color to the sensation.

HEALTH'S BEST DEFENSE,
“ The weak eateth herbs,” says St. Paul, so that
eighteen hundred years ago the value of medicinal
plants was appreciated In the Old Testament bo
tanical remedies are repeatedly recommended, but in
no passage of sacred history is man recommended to
swallow calomel, or bine pill, or anqpther mineral
preparation. The rick were directed to eat heTbs to
strengthen them, to purify them, to heal them, to re
stor«(them. In that day the art of making vegetable
extracts was unknown. The herbal medicines were
mere infusions.
It was reserved for a later age to unite the sanitary
essences of tonic aperient and anti-biJous roots, barks
and plants with an active stimulant, and thus secure
their rapid diffusion through the debilitated or disor
dered system. The crowning triumph of this effect
ive mode of concentrating and applying the virtues of
medicinal vegetables was achieved in the production
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Never before had a
perfectly pure alcoholic stimulant been combined
with the expressed juices of the finest specifics of the
vegetable kingdom. Never yet, though eighteen
years have elapsed since its introduction, has this
great restorative been equaled. It is taken at all sea
sons. in all climes, as the most potent safe-guard
against epidemics; as a protection against all un
healthy exhalations that produce debility or beget
disease; as a remedy for intermittent and other ma
larious fevers; as an appetizer; as a sovereign cure
for dyspepsia; as a general tonic and invigorant; as a
gentle, painless aperient; as a blood depurent; as a
nervine; as a cure lor bilious affections ; as a harm
less anodyne: and as the best defense of fealtb
under unfavorable circumstances, suen as sedentary
pursuits, undue bodily or mental exertion, hardship,
privation and exposure. janlS-tfcbl

Selma, Ala., September 16th, 1869.
Messrs. Wm. Crichton A Son, Baltimore :
I write to say that so far as I have heard from the “AMMONIATED SOLUBLE SUPER
■pnrtfi'pH'ATF ” the report* are very favorable indeed. Several planters who have used that
Penitika Onano side by side, my they cannot distinguish any difference. 1 have nerd
br.?h tb and Fertilized shows fully as well as the Peruvian, and believe there will be a
great demand for it nex "e ileon . it has been used during the present season on COTTON, with
valuable results, by the following gentlemen, in Dallas County, of this State, to all of whom I
refer. Dr Wm. Mixon, Capt. B Boyken, Ellis Mixon, Esq., Capt. A. V. Gardener Hunter
B. Rives, Esq., Alexander Sample, Esq., and others. W. 8. KNOX.
Newberry, 8. C., December 2d, 1869.
I purchased of Messrs. Willis A Chisolm one ion of “Crichton A Son’s Amraoniated
Phosphates ” last Spring. 1 used it on both Corn and Cotton. lam satisfied that I received as
large a per cent, oi yield for the cost, as any fertilizer 1 have used since the war. g)[ A]R
Milledgeville, Ga., November 16th. 1869.
The Ammoniated Soluble Superphosphate of Lime ” 1 received the 2d day of May, with
the request that I should test its valne on Cotton as a fertilizer. When I received it I was nearly
through planting, and did not have an acre of ground suitable to plant in Cotton, so 1 selected
one acre most convenient, which was a piece nearly worn out, and which, in my judgment,
would have produced without any fertilizer, about 800 lbs. Seed Cotton per acre. 1 did not
get a good stand—about %of a stand—yet the result is 590 lbs. Seed Cotton, and about 60 lbs.
Bolls caught by the frost, which will open yet.
. Thus It proves to tie a good article — for any fertilizer that will realize fifty to one hun
dred per cent., as this has done, is a good investment. W. A. COOK.
Culverton, Ga., November 15th, 1869.
This year I have experimented with ten different fertilizers of the most popular brands—
and “ Wm. Crichton A Son’s Ammoniated Soluble Superphosphate op Lime ” is at pres
ent only equalled by two of the manures. lam not quite through picking, but there is so little
yet to be picked, that it will not materially alter the above statement or result. ’
I can. without hesitation, recommend this fertilizer to planters as a No. 1 Cotton Manure.
JOHN L. CULVER.
Macon, Ga., November 20th, 1869.
I used one ton of Wm. Crichton A Bod’s Ammoniated Superphosphate of Lime on five
acres. lam well satisfied with its resnlts on Cotton. It is a first class fertilizer, and I can re
commend it with great confidence. From the well known reputation of the manufacturers, I
am certain it can be relied upon lor uniformity. H. T. JOHNdOtt^
Os Johnson, Campbell & Cos., MaqgWpn.
Green County, Ga., December 20th, 1869.
1 used the Ammoniated Superphosphate of Lime of Wm. Crichton A Son on three acres
of Cotton. The Summer was remarkably dry ; yet I am well pleased with the result. The
yield of Cotton being much greater where the fertilizer was used, and paying me handsomely.
I can cheerfully recommend it as a first class fertilizer. The well known integrity of the mann
lactnrers is a sufficient guarantee for its noitormity. THOMAB P. JAMES, M. D.
CERTIFICATE FROM DR. A. MEANS,
STATE INSPECTOR OF GUANOS AND FERTILIZERS, FOR THE BTATE OF GEORGIA.
From the Analysis of “ WM. CRICHTON & SON’S AMMONIATED SOLUBLE SUPER.
PHOSPHATE,” just completed for them, I feel authorized to recommend it to the public ns a
RELIABLE FERTILIZER. Its elements are so well balanced as to furnish the chief constitu
ents needed in general soils
Its AMMONIA is in sufficient quantity, in aid of that furnished from natural sources, to
give growth, vigor and greenness to the plant, whiie the amount of SOLUBLE and Insoluble
PHOSPHATES OF LIME are both present to contribute satisfactorily to the fruitage of the
prc6eul crop, and give constitution to the soil, which will increase the product of the next, and
even ensuing years. A. MEANS, Inspector.
