AUGHT ST A. GhA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB. 9, 1870
THE DIVISION OF PARTIES
The Richmond JSnqumtr, a true repre
sentative'of the true chivalry of the Old
Dominion— a chivalry which Gen. Grant
recently expressed a desire to see perish—
is battling nobly against the sordid desire
of some Virginians to keep aloof from the
Democratic party even to the extent of
forming anew political organization. The
chief sources of repugnance to Democracy
on the part of many persons Is that (1), as
Whigs, they can never march side by side
with and, (2) that, during the
late unpleasantness, Democrats waged bit
ter war against the South. The Enquirer,
with the anxiety of a truth-seeker and not
with the gall of a valorous polemic, essays
to brush away these objections. It takes
it for granted that Southern Whigs of the
olden time, cordially detest Radicalism and
desire above all things to see it annihilated
and the majesty of the States restored.—
Now many of these ancient Whigs con
fess this hatred of Radicalism, but de
monstrate, at the same time, a wonderful
sensitiveness about aligning themselves
with Democracy, on the curious plea that
Democrats were once their foemen in days
Os peace and their relentless enemies in days
of battle. To the patriot this first objec
tion should not remain for an since
the divisions of Whig and Democrat, in
past times, have no sort of comparison
with the altercations, in this epoch, between
Democrats and Radicals. Beside, Whig
gery is dead, in spite of fate, and Democra
cy, however battered by storms and
treachery, still survives a mighty engine for
weal or woe. Now, let it be granted, once
for all, that War Democracy was a vile
thing. Over and over again in these col
umns we have denounced the blunder
But let it also be remembered that thous
ands who marched against us under the
spell or a delusion are now sorely aware of
their error and willing to expiate their
crime. Ou this point, we quote from the
Enquirer-:
“ We are by no means the most ardent ad
mirers the Northern Democracy have; but
this we say, and challenge refutation: this
we say, that during the whale war, the North
ern Democrats sympathized, to a great extent,
with the Southern people; and that, if they
HAD HAD TOE POWER, THEY WOULD HAVE
STOPPED THE WAR ON HONORABLE TERMS
IN 1861, in 1862, in 1863, or in 1864. We
say that they fought us reluctantly ; and
because the pressure at home was so great
they could not help it. Just as many
Union men were at the South forced into
secession as the Democrats at the North
were forced into the war. Why did they
not help us? it is asked. They could not
help us, without running the risk of being
hung by their neighbors. They could not
organize to help us, because the armies and
the Government were in the hands of the
war party. We have heard Democrats at
the South complain with bitterness of the
Northern Democracy iu this matter; but
we have stated the case fairly.’’
It is shown, too, that, since the wgr,
these Democrats of the North have tried to
help us, not wisely at all times, perhaps,
but we must concede honesty of motive.
It is a thousand pities that they have been
hacked and brow beaten, and ten thousand
more pities that no great leader has risen
among them tp grapple with the monster
of Radicalism, as the legend reports St.
George to have combated the Dragon.
But title fact still remains that they are the
’only frfcnds the South has ; and, while
we should not slavishly depend upon them
for rescue, we may rely upon it that the
country will never be brought back to true
principles without their active co-opera
tion. Pretty soon, all sorts of baits will
be thrown out to catch the unwary and
dissatisfied among the Southern people.
Already indeed, we hear of new parties
about to be formed. Suppose, as the En
quirer states it, “ a genuine middle move
“ meat should be formed, what would be
“ the result, except that the Democratic
“ rauks being broken in twain, the Repnb
“ licans would walk over the course ?”
Here is the great dauger in Georgia of
coquetting with what are called Conserva
tive RepuVilicans. It will not be long, in
case the Democrats countenance them, that
anew movement will take place, under the
most cunning disguises on oue side, and a
first-class delusion on the other. Pene
trated with this apprehension, we join with
our Richmond contemporary iu denounc
ing this project beforehand, aud call upon
Democrats everywhere, to keep their or
ganization intact, and beware of forming
base alliances with either the extreme
Radicals, the cunning Conservative Re
publicans, or the new party faction. With
extreme Radicalism no decent man can go;
■with Conservative Republicanism no wise
person should affiliate. At the same time
beware of your restless middle man. He is
on the fence with a vengeance, and only
wants half a chance to beat a Republican
drum iu a Republican torch-light proces
sion.
GO IT, MAWWORM !
Mr. John W. Forney praises the message
of “ Governor” Bui.lock and is ecstatic over
the new born Georgia as Dr. Terry has
brought her forth. He indulges the hope
that the “Empire State” will be restored
at an early day to the vassalage of the Im
perial Government. He thinks the Geor
gia bantling would not look half so pretty
had not raan-mid-wife Terry and nurse
Bullock presided over the earliest throes
of the little darling. Now jbat the devil’s
■work is nearly done, as he pretends, we get
this fra»ok avowal:
“ Backed by the whole Republican .party
in Congress and President Grant, they have
so consummated their work that he must
be a disaffected and daring man indeed who
will attempt to array himself against the
thunders of the law and the irresistible
/strength of the Government.”
Did it ever before take such a mountain
of power to bring forth so pitiable a mouse!
Even Gen. Ames, the Dugald Dalgetty of
black Mississippi, acknowledges that five
years will be the utmost stretch of Radical
power in that State. How long, therefore,
does Forney expect the sham to last in
Georgia ? He deftly insinuates that, with
the restoration of Texas, “ the people of
every Southern State will he left to work
out their own salvation unrestrained by
any interference from Congress.” ,
But he adds, immediately upon the heels
of this assurance—" except what may he ne-
“ cmitated by attempts to obstruct the enjoy
*ment of the civil and political rights of the
“ citizen." "•'■ ; ■
There! Don’t you see the bayonets of
the “National Police” In every word of
those italics? And don’t you see how the
scurvy fellow grinned as he emphasized his
gloomy sentence? Well, go ahead, Mr*.
Forney. Lamp posts are not out of date,
and smarter men than yoy are have been
grievously reminded of failure, when dang
ling between heaven and earth In sorry
caricature of the fabled coffin of Mo
jBAMMED.
Hurly-Burly. —The Radicals are in a
.ferment everywhere. In Prance, Roche
fort is quarreling with his party, and his
partisans are. denouncing him. In Wash
ington, Bowen and Howard are waging
bloody war; and the sable patriots of
“ Lincoln Hall ” hurl their thunderbolts at
their sable brethren of “Loyal League
Hall,” who return the missiles with in
terest. la Florida, the carpet-bag “ Gov
ernor” has just escaped impeachment by
the skin of l)is teeth. In Louisiana, the
carpet-bag Executive denounces the mon
grel Legislature as thieves and imbeciles,
and he, in turu,is accused of the grossest
malpractice. In South Carolina, the steal
ing goes on by the wholesale, but the
“ Governor ” has cut the niggers at his pri
vate entertainments, and the niggers have
cut the “ Governor.” In Connecticut, a
leading Radical Congressman is publicly
charged tfith bribery and corruption. In
Georgia, “ Gov.” Bullock and his syco
phants are accused of robbery, and Angier
and Bryant are the recipients of cart-loads
of Executive mud. In Congress, Mr.
Dawes has “ made Rome howl ” by accus
ing the party of “ all the morals” of crimes
against every law in the calendar.
It is true that these snarling critics some
times make common headway against the
poor South ; but they will very soon rend
one another, if some good-natured fools do
not play the inopportune part of peace
makers.
A Model Conservative. Senator
Trumbull is the model Conservative Re
publican, so-called. He opposed the Vir
ginia Bill tooth and toe-nail. He denounced
It as “ unjust and perfidious.” He called
Sumner “ cuss names” for advocating it.
Yet when the final vote came on, he turned
his back upon honor, conscience and self
respect by voting for the odious Drake
amendment. Nay more, he, soon after
ward, developed his hypocrisy and malice
by reporting a bill calculated to rivet the
manacles of the XVth Amendment, forcing
negro equality before and behind the law.
In view of such a record, well may the
Missouri Republican lash him as a plausible
villain who “ violates the promptings of
“ his own reason, by humbly obeying the
“ dictates of a factiou who disown him for
“ his fickleness and despise him for his
“ cowardice.”
True Doctrine. —In a recent speech at
Philadelphia, the Hon. Richard Vaux
urged the Democracy to stand by State
Rights, State Sovereignty, as the States
were when they made the Constitution.
This is the great battle now to be fought,
State Rights, against the usurpations and
monarchical tendencies of the Radical party
in Congress. If this is to be given up; if the
Democratic party is to leave this principle,
and to go out to seek issues which the
Radical lovalists are making by violating
the Constitution ; and if Democrats are to
accept these heresies, then, the mission of
Jeffersonian Democracy is ended. Let us
disband as a party, disband at once!—
Never let us nee its essential principles sur
rendered ; let the party die before it be so
dishonored.
- Transmogrified. —A few weeks ago, the
Rome Courier accused us of poking fun at
the Georgia Legislature, being “ cynical ’’
in that quarter, etc., etc. In the last issue
of our esteemed contemporary we find that
this august body is characterized as the
“ Speckled Legislature." Fie ! fie ! brother
Courier, this looks “ cynical.” You should
call up the “ Coldstream Guards ” to make
another cavalry charge at Balakl&va.
Going, Going, Gone !—The New York
Herald complains that cadetships at West
Point and Annapolis have been advertised
for sale by certain virtuous Congressmen.
Pooh! Pooh! The Presidency will be
put up at auction, one of these days, if the
times do not change, and some shoulder
strapped functionary, like Terry or Ames,
will edge in a bid on the point of discretion
ary bayonets.
Bothered.— Considering the squabbles
of the loyal in every Southern vassalage,
the Radical leaders confess that “ Recon
struction is not a perfect work.” Profanely
iudignant persons think it is perfect—
“ perfect hell.”
Candid. —The Edgefield Advertiser does
not like Wright, the new negro Justice of
the Supreme Court, but freely acknowl
edges that he is far the most honest and
decent man sitting on that mongrel Bench.
Horrible. —The world is going to the
dogs. The venerable Brown, of Grace
Church, N. Y., is discovered to be a blas
phemer. Keep a good eye on him. Pres
ently he will be eloping tvith the Parsotfs
wife.
An Occupation Gone.— The Odourless
Rubber Company at Middletown has de
cided to discontinue business, in view of
the probable adoption of the Fifteenth
Amendment.
A Fiction.—We hate to spoil a capital
joke, but it is finally stated that Revel,
the colored Senator, has no wife at Wash
ington, and hence Sumner and Tipton did
not get introduced in the gallery.
The Future of Radicalism.— The cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
writing from Atlanta, thus prognosticates
concerning the future of the Radical party
in this State:
An observer, unacquainted with the pol
itics of the State, or having but a superfi
cial knowledge of the situation, would
have supposed, from the large attendance
aud harmony of the meeting, that the Re
publican party in Georgia was founded
upon a rock, and as enduring as brass.—
But such is not the fact. Its ranks are
torn by dissension and weakened by dis
cord. The breach between the Conserva
tive Republicans and the Radical Republi
cans continues to widen, with no imme
diate prospect of conciliation.
The Radical wing has power in abund
ance, for within its ranks are ninety thou
sand colored voters, party tried and party
true, but it hhs not brains, no master spirit
at the wheel to pilot it through the break
ers. It has a thousand second-rate lawyers
and pot house politicians, who aspire to
lead, but not one of them has the genius to
rise above his fellows, and so there is noth
ing but contention and confusion con
tinually. King Richard has been made fa
mous in history as offering a kingdom for
a horse, aud the necessities of the Radical
party in Georgia are almost as great as
those of Richard when he made that fabu
lous offer, so uear It, in fact, that they
could well afford to barter away ten thou
. sand votes for a leader.
Owing to a variety of reasons, the prin
cipal one of which is the fact that the army
of the United States and sundry military
gentlemen In the shape of a court-martial,
have come to their aid, 'the Republican
party in Georgia appear to be on rising
ground. Bot as soon as the extraordinary
props now supporting it, and giving it a
false coloring of strength, are withdrawn,
the party will slowly sink-again into the
slough of despondency, and cry out for
help when no help can reach It. The time
can not be long now'until the State is. re
turned to her place in the Union, and then
the party Will hare to stand upon its
merits, if it stands at all, for Cougress will
be powerless to come to its aid every six
months.
Our New York Correspondence.
New York, February 5,1870.
The most important topic of discussion
with us, at the moment, is the bill which has
just been introduced into our State Legis
lature, for the reconstruction of our muni
cipal government. It is as voluminous as
the “ Reconstruction” acts of the Radical
Congress, and meets with discussion as
varied and contradictory as that which is
brought to the attempt at settling the
Federal finances. This bill has the especial
championship of Tammany Hill, and is em
barrassed by provisions designed to main
tain the political supremacy of that or
ganization. It thus suffers a double embar
rassment, from features suggested by per
sonal ambition and antagonism provoked
by personal hostility. Taken as a whole,
however, the measure is a long step in ad
vance of any thing which we have had in
thirty years, and if passed will no doubt
greatly increase the efficiency and reduce
the expenditures of our municipal govern
meet. The discussion of this and kindred
measures is likely to be prolonged far into
the Spring, and develop no end of tyros in
statemanship and constitutional lore.
At last, Winter has come. The weather
is severely cold. Skating carnivals are
once more all the “ rage.” The ice men,
those engaged in laying up stores of ice for
use during the comming Summer, are once
more smiling. The premature blossomsou
the shrubs have incontinently disappeared,
and as I write, we have prospects of such a
snow storm as will set the sleigh-bells ring
ing-
The visit of Prince Arthur to this city
produced an amount of intrigue and heart
burning that would be inconsiderable to
any one who had not witnessed the passion
which prevailed among our shoddy aristoc
racy for what is termed “ social recogni
tion.” Expedients that would make a
pick-pocket blush, are resorted to for the
purpose of obtaining the entree into circles
which are really Intelligent and refined.
To belong to a certain “ set ” in “ society ”
is almost as advantageous, in a business
point of view, as to be a member of one of
the great political “ rings,” and, I am
tempted to add, not a whit more conducive
to true refinement or a proper self-respect.
From what has leaked out, there is reason
to believe that the private ball given to
Prince Arthur, at Delmonico’s, was a most
ridiculous affair. One defect your young
lady readers will appreciate. There were
about seventy-five young ladies present,
while of the gentlemen present there were
only about forty, old and young, who could
perform a plain quadrille. In the more in
tricate dances, the disparity was even
greater. It is said the Prince did all he
could to overcome this deficiency, by re
fusing to dance with the dowagers, but
chose a fresh partner from among the
young ladies.
The large receipts of cotton at the ports
confound, without materially weaking, sell
ers, except for future delivery.
It has been said that there is nothing
new uDder the sun. This, however, is not.
altogether true, at least so far as New
York is concerned. One of the late de
velopments in Wall street is tne existence
of a feminine firm of stock brokers—not
Messrs., but Madames Woodhull, Claflin
& Cos. These ladies have, for some time
past, done a regular busiuess in Wall
street, but have an office at the Hoffman
House. Mrs. Claflin is about twenty-four
years of age, having been married, how
ever, for eight years. During business
hours, dresses plainly, and though rather
pretty, presents, as is natural to suppose,
the appearance of a thorough busiuess wo
man, keen, shrewd, and withal, somewhat
masculine. Her sister, Mrs. Woodhull. is
five years older, has a bright eye, is of a
sanguine, nervous temperament. These
decidedly strong minded ladies are, it ap
pears, doing well, havingmade about seven
hundred thousand dollars, and held their
own in the financial panic of September
last. One of the projects which they have
in hand Is the incorporation of a silver
ledge companv in Nevada, from which
they expect large profits, and they have
also, it seems, been much interested in the
establishment of the Arcade Railway. It
is said that these ladies are strongly backed,
supported and advised by Vanderbilt and
Peter Cooper, a circumstance which may
to some degree account for their success,
though, dAMpbtlees, they are with a
good share* of native shrewdness. As we
have stated above, their office is at present
at the Hoffman House, but they intend
shortly to establish one on Wall street, or
in the immediate vicinity. During the
panic, Mrs. Woodhull sat in her carriage,
day after day, from morning till night, iu
Broad street, operating heavily, and in the
end not only cameout winner, but assisted
more than one of her friends to regain their
own after their fortunes were nearly swept
away.
The firm look contented and happy, and
are certainly doing well, though they say
that profits amount to little, when it costs
them more than $2,500 a month to live.
Ladies who take an active part in house
hold affairs, usually find calico wrappers a
useful article of wear at every season of
the year, and ladies of these tastes will be
glad to know that the prices of calicoes
have been much reduced. A good one can
lie obtained as low as cents per yard,
in cashmere patterns, which make up very
effectively, and for a somewhat less price
the neat Garner prints may be procured in
pretty patterns, while all along one sel
vedge is a strip an inch wide, which is
used as a bordering for the dress. The
shape most in favor for a morning wrapper
is tiie Polonaise, which lias just the appear
ance of a gored dress. The skirt should
just touch the floor, the sleeves should be
made coat shaped, a turned over collar of
the same is worn around the neck, and a
a separate belt of the calico made over
foundation muslin confines it at the waist,
and the entire garment is fastened up the
front by buttons of wooden moulds cover
ed by solid colored calico. Wrappers of
the bordered Garner calicoes look well cut
off at or above the knee, and finished off
to the required length by a flounce. This
at the lower edge is bound with worsted
braid, and at the top where it is gathered
to the wrapper the seam is covered by a
band of the bordering stitched on. Striped
wrappers are prettiest scalloped and bound
with worsted braid, or with Chambery of a
bright color cut bias. Small figured prints
are trimmed witli red worsted braid, ser
pentine, and with a rough surface in imita
tion of coral, or wide black alpaca braid is
stiched on with a scarlet braid beneath,
showing at each edge like piping. Hand
somer wrappers are of French calicoes, or
others somewhat less, or of English prints
at a less price. Calicoes arc often cut into
short skirts, gored and ruffled, with half
loose basques fitted to the figure by a belt
aud sash bow. A pretty fashion for school
girls, especially slight figures, is a yoke
waist with a double ruffle round the neck
and on the edge of the J%ke, which should
be pointed. The skirt is gored and trim
med often with a deep, scant flounce, which
may be,made either straight or bias,
and with two or three narrow ruffles
above it, not full enough to be fluted, but
which may be scalloped over the point of
the iron. A bias band stitched on over the
gathers of the flounce looks better, perhaps,
than when it is drawn on a cord, and holds
it more firmly. The sleeve is sabot, scal
loped at the wrist, and gathered three
inches from the edge, by which a ruffle is
formed, fcnd a bias band large enough to
admit the hand is stitched on, which holds
the gathers in their pishes.
Some ladies wear light calicoes all Win
ter, with woolen jackets of a gay color, and
these, which are so much worn this season,
are in especial favor with ladies of econo
mical tastes, inasmuch as a dress which
has been worn for a season or two is often
somewhat threadbare on the waist, while
the skirt remains good, aud here the jacket
comes into use. In these cases, the waist
should be discarded, and a blouse of white
or ecru linen be worn witli a jacket of
merino, which should be long enough to
conceal the white waist at the belt, but
showing at the wrists and neck. Elderly
ladies wear plain waists or basques, falling
over the hips, buttoned up high at the
throat, and trimmed with a simulated vest
or rever of velvet or silk; the skirts are less
plainly gored than those worn by younger
ladies, apd are long enough to lie on the
floor a quarter of a yard ; the sleeves being
sabot, or coat. For old ladies, scarce any
thing looks so well as black : but those
whose complexions are still fresh, look well
in grave sardouyx tints, tke dark London
smoke color, fine purple elderberry and re
gina tints, and even violet and sapphire.
A most desirable material in black is the
lustrous silk alpaca, or for more dressy oc
casions, Irish poplins, gros grain, and for
receptions, velvets, which last are some
times trimmed with white lace, or With
black lace over white blonde. With tils a
wide antique collar of rich lace m» he
worn, or a Marie Stuart frill or Jblded
chemisette of lawn or illusion solans a
faded complexion. For ‘evening, m<ft old
ladies wear their owu gray hair arranged
with puffs in front and a chiL'tmn it the
back of the head. This, when prone'rly ar
ranged, looks beautiful and stylish. 7

Sale of Appointments to West ilbiNT
—A South Carolina Carpet-Bagger
Makes Lucre. —A Washington special to
the Richmond Dispatch says :
The resolution in the House providliig for
investigation as to the alleged sale »f ap
pointments of cadets to West Point and to
the navy is likely to lead to sonunrery
humiliating disclosures. For several years
and especially during the rebellion, these
positions were sold out to street brokers in
f ® r sn “ B prying from SSOO to
$„,000. Ihe Southern States being unrep
resented, the cadets that would have fallen
to their allotment were parcelled out amon"
the representatives of the Northern States,
and many of them were sold to the bro
kers, the latter dividing the money with the
members of Congress who designated the
cadets.
The trade has been kept up since the re
bellion, and the new members of the South,
the carpet-baggers especially, have made a
good thing out of the cadet traffic, (lie of
the South Carolina members, who waSTvery
active iu his opposition to the admission of
Virginia, and who was for imposiffir the
most illiberal terms and fundamentafeon
ditions, sold one oTthese cadetships Ujjt two
thousand dollars, agreeing to give ttp two

dollars, but pocketed the whole bonujsave

IRRITABLE INVALIDS.
Indigestion not only effects the physical health, but
the dispositions and tempers of its victims. The
dyspeptic becomes, too, In a measure, demoralized by
his sufferings. He Is subject to fits of irritation, sul
lenness or despair, as the case may be. A preter
natural sensitiveness, which he cannot control, leads
him to misconstrue the words and acts of those
around him, and his intercourse ev n with those
nearest and dearest to him is not unfrequently marked
by exhibitions of testine-s foreign to his real nature.
These are the mental phenomena of the disease, for
which the invalid caanot he justly held responsible,
hut they occasion much household discomfort. It is
to the interest of the home circle, It is essential to
family harmony, as well as to the rescue of (he prin
cipal sufferer from a state not far removed from in
cipient insanity, that these symptoms of mental dis
turbance lie promptly removed. This can only be
done by removing their physical cause, a derangement
of the functions of tho stomach, and its allied viscera,
the liver and the bowels. Upon these three Import
ant organs Uostetter’s Stomach Bitters act simulta
neously, producing a thorough and salutary change

which the preparation is composed are of a renova

the purest and best that can be extracted from the

dyspeptic can take this genial restorative for a single
week without experiencing a notable improvement in
his general health. Not only will his bodily suffer
