■Ja t>;f lu 11 ON ALIST. AUGUSTA. »A. WEDNESDAY MOENINO, MAY 25,1870 THE NECESSITY OF GENERAL AMNESTY. The following article, extracted from the editorial column* of the New York Nation, a Radical journal of great respectability, is worthy of attentive perusal, as a curiosity coming from such a source and a very re markable sign of the times : “ The Government of the United States has something to think of besides either punishing the whites for their treason or rewarding the blacks for their fidelity. The interests of civilization and of good gov ernment at the South are in its keeping, and there is no question whatever that both are suffering deep’y—not by the accession of ignorant people, to power— and may suffer irretrievably, if the present regime be protracted, much longer. It is not possible any longer to confine any political or social evil to a particular State. With our present habits and means of intercommunication, every thing spreads all over the country, the good as well as the bad. No State can keep its corruption or its bad character, any more than its virtue, to itself; and the seeds of the vices and disorders we suffer to flourish in South Carolina and Louisiana, we may be sure, wiU be wafted before long further North and find a fruitful soil enough. The more Legislatures we have accessible totempation, the larger the class of jobbers who live by tempting legislators grows, and the wilder the belief that all legislators are corrupt, and may be expected to be corrupt, spreads. “ We have spoken several times in these columns of the grossness of the disorders in which the government of several States is plunged in the hands of the negroes and carpet-baggers, gathering our opinions sim ply from newspaper articles and corres pondence and occasional private advices. Very recently, business men of the highest character, both from Uua dt*/ ane * from Bos ton, have (wen examining the state of things there with reference to investments, both for themselves and their friends, and of course one of the very first things to which their attertion was turned was the govern ment, for government means taxation, and on the manner and amount and application of taxation depend the rate of profits, the prospects of immigration, and the proba bility of internal improvements. No man will willingly invest much capital in a State whose revenues he has reason to believe will be squandered, or credit destroyed , or whose legislation cannot be depended on for a reasonable degree of uniformity and honesty. Now the reports of these gentlemen—and the two we have in our eye have been ar dent Republicans and supporters of the re construction policy of Congress, and do not believe any other policy was possible or desirable —describe things as being nearly as, bad as bad can be. The effect on the freedman of the spectacle of large bodies of his fellows in a state of the gross est igno r ance put suddenly In posses sion of the government of great, civilized and wealthy communities is, of course, as demoralizing as the sudden discovery of a parcel of diamonds, and just as likely to turn his mind away frbm steady industry, and to destroy his faith in the political value of knowledge. But this is not the worst of it. Their management of the State funds Juts been such, and is such, as to endan ger American credit everywhere , to f righten away capital, and make general bankruptcy at some not very distant day by no means im probable. Moreover, no society was ever long subjected to such a regime without suffering in its very vitals, without finding the stock of honor, truth, decency and pa triotism', on which it has to draw every now and then to carry it through exciting times, greatly and perhaps fatally dimin ished. "Ihe remedy for aU this is to pass an act of general amnesty, and leave every community to its natural action. Let whatever there is of intelligence in it resume its natural weight.. It is as much the interest of the negro as of the while man — indeed, far more the interest of the negro than of the. white man—that the States should be well governed , and most of the they will take no part at present in political affairs. No closing of the reconstruction process will be safe or real which does not give them their natural influence on the Govern ment; artificial influence they have lost forever; but of the other it is an offence against civilization to deprive them.” A Fi.oon Coming.— The Mobile Register paints tins glowing picture: “We are at “ the beginning of a flood-tide of a vast “ white immigration from Europe. The “ grain business is overdone in the West “ and in California. There are no further “ temptations to money-making in these “ regions, and to-day the South offers the “ most tempting field for new settlers ol “ laborers and artisans and capitalists in “ the known world. The whole civilized “ world is waking up to a consciousness “ of this fact, and those of us who live “ five years longer will be amazed at the “ results of causes now in active opera “ tion.” The Biter Bit. —The pious Forney keeps up a howl over the impudence of the Judiciary Committee in sending for his ledger and examining it with a microscope. The Press says: “ If legislative authority gives sanction to such proceedings, what is the scope of the legislative power of a municipal rep resentative and deliberative body.” If Forney can raise such a yell over the Inspection of an old ledger, how shall he dare, in future, to commend the beastly interference by Congress with great States. The Southern people and their institu tions can be outraged in any way, but no polluting finger must be laid on Forney’s old ledger. The ark of the covenant is a trifle to Forney’s old ledger. Reaction. —The Washington correspond ence of the Baltimore Gazette says: “ Sambo’s appearance at the polls iu the Northern States is producing its natural effect. A letter received this morning by a New York member states that where one negro voted tor the Radical ticket, that at least ten white men forsook the sinking cause, and mainly for that reason. The skies are bright, indeed.” And then just think that the only negroes in New York who were molested were such as had their heads punched by the Radi cals, because they voted the Democratic ticket. . Very Pious.— The Philadelphia Press adroitly omitted the account of the drub bing given its editor by the Judiciary Com mittee. The excuse given was “ pressure «* on its columns by the ecclesiastical con “ ventions now sitting.” Really this is refreshing piety when one reflects that the neglected report de nounced rascality done on the Sabbath day and charged extra therefor. New York.— The entire vote of New York city and Kings county can be omitted and yet leave Democracy the mas ters of the field in the late New York elec tion. It was the tremendous change of front in rural districts, hitherto Radical, that branded the Fifteenth Amendment and Its concocters as enemies of the people and their liberties. Bullock’s White washers.— The two Senators of the Judiciary Committee who strove to whitewash Bullock are impos tors. The one is an upstart carpet-bagger, elected by fraud, and the other a member of a rotten bojrough. Similia similtbus purantur. Very Proud. —Senator Howard de clared that if Jefferson Davis or John C. Breckinridge were elected to the Sen ate, self-respect would canse him to resign. It would not really be a question of self respect, but the fear of being confronted by men who do not steal. His Morro.—Gov. Bui.lock as he grows fat grows Falstaffian in all but wit. Now let him engrave on his coat-of-arms this refrain from Fat Jack : “ Rob me the Exchequer /” DeSoto. —Some people in Mississippi claim to have discovered the body of Her nando DeSoto in a copper-fastened coffin. A second edition of the Cardiff' giant, no doubt. Literary Success.—Milton received $25 for Paradise Lost. D’lsraeli bagged $50,000 for' Lothair ; Jimfiskism pays in literature as well as*in stock gambling. A Republican Form. —New York is Democratic by 75,000 majority. But two Radical Senators claim to represent her. Hoppleggs Peace Dots. BY ACHILLES HOPPLEGGS, ESQ. NO. 1. To the Editor of the Constitutionalist: With your permission I propose to fur nish a series of articles on the times, where in something of personal history and expe rience shall be interloped, and, perchance, some things will be said that may point unpleasantly direct at certain individuals, prominent in position, officially and politi cally. If this should be done, and they are pricked thereby, let them pause and reflect that the truth often stings. In the first place, then, who am I, to arro gate to myself the right to intrude personal history and experience upon a public whose patience lias been so shamefully and re peatedly outraged by the party to which I have the honor (?) to belong ? This is an swered by the head of this article. Proba bly some may remember me from my “War Dots.” But suppose they do not, and lam unknown, what o’ that ? Need I, or others, care? Nay, for I have known larger and better pumpkins produced from new ground than were ever from old. Men, like pumpkin seed, “ will run out,” and pray why should writers be an exception to this rule ? Bet to proceed. I was a secessionist, a violent secession ist; I gave my means to equip eight com panies of “ Boys in Grayl advised the taking of forts and arsenals; I made inflam matory speeches; I drank, figuratively, much Yankee blood; I gallantly led to victory, over numerous Yankee regiments, a regiment of old women, armed with broomsticks—in short, as I have said, I was a secessionist! And while I was that — horresco referens— l was something else. Yes, to be candid and honest, (what a jewel is that virtue) ! I was a Hoppleggs man. Is this wrong, gentlemen ? Let us look at oar Executive, our Judiciary, our Official Departments generally, before we answer. Bat, in beiug a Hoppleggs man, as a mat ter of course, I had to be a great many things. My positions and professions had to bend and yield in unison with the stirring times through which we were pass ing. Reader, isn’t the same thing being done now ? Reflect a moment —look around you. Yes, I was a secessionist, a Hoppleggs man, but I was more, as soon as the cause went down; I was a Uniou man—one of the “ true blues.” To make this metamor phose plausible I said: I have been in the army, it is true; but while there I was care ful to get my ammunition one size too large for my gun, and it never happened (how true) that the “superiors” were smart enough to get me into “ the thickest of the fight/’ No, sir, the first law af nature was too deeply imbeded in my breast, soul, mind and body for that. Well, I was a Union man, and being somewhat, poor and needy a% the “ wind up ” of the affair, and not feeling disposed pMttgTKTOF 188 btate (?), just at that time, my iteelings prevailed upon me to accept an office. I marshaled my forces, I applied, I bowed my knee to Baal, and— presto, change —I was appointed postmaster at Sipping’ X Roads, with a salary of thirty-seven dollars and thirty-seven cents per annum. For this I took the “ iron-clad oath 1” Great God, how the little of self respect I have left tears me when I think of that act! A Southern man swearing that he lived in his own country for four or five long, bloody years, and, during all that dark time, was a secret enemy to her and her cause; that a feeling of sympathy never welled up in his heart for her suffer ing sons, even in their severest hour of trial; that no feeling of love or sorrow went out from him and hovered about the departing spirit of a brave but fallen Con federate ; that no feeling, but of contempt and hatred, ever went from him to the fair daughters of the South, as they toiled and labored in hospitals and way-side homes for the sick and weary of our “Lost Cause;” in short, to put himself upon re cord, by an oath, before his God and his country, that he was a secret enemy to his father, his mother, his wife, his children, his kindred, his neighbors, his friends, his all that is noble, or good, or right! Read er, I did all this, and did it for the sake of thirty-seven dollars and thirty-seven cents per annum I That was the consideration that prompted me, and that was the con sideration I received for swearing to a lie ! But, reader, did you ever knowingly, wilfully, deliberately commit perjury ? If you have, then, my good friend and brother, you can join our party without the least re commendation, and be sure of a good office in less than six months thereafter ; and, be sides, you can appreciate the feelings of some of the rest of us. To think that I, Achilles Hoppleggs, Esq., *»ce a mau who stood well in the public estimation, have sworn to a lie! Perjury! Perjury! Per jury ! A damnable incubus that hangs over me like a horrible vampire—that haunts me by day and broods over me by night—des troying my happiness, my principle, my honesty, and rendering me hopelessly unfit for other than the Radical party of the so called empire State of the South, and ex cluding me from all decent society! But “ Shoo Fly” to such gloomy forebodings and melancholy reflections. We’ve a man at the helm whose liver will grow by night suffi ciently to satisfy our hunger by day. And, after all, to swear to a lie is but a small thing—a trifle. It’s a common occurrence in these times. Some of oxer prominent men do it without the least compunction of con science, and with a grace and air that is re freshing. And more : after they have done it, they are backed and sustained by tae “ best Government the world ever saw.” To substantiate this I have but to state the fact, that, recently, I drew some back pay, as postmaster, which I knew 1 was not entitled to, and the. men in the Post Office Department said they knew the same thing; “ but,” said the chief dignitary, “ you are one of us, have qualified yourself for an effi cient man in onr ranks, and are, therefore, entitled to a share, even though it be small; and, moreover, 1 have an order, in these words: “ Feed my lambs!” Reader, did you ever belong to a political party in which you were regarded a lamb ? It is pleasant in some things, but not so much so in others. All Southern Radicals are so regarded and treated by our North ern brothers. To this 1 should not object, were it not for one thing; and that is, they say, as lambs, we must and shall live on the milk they give ns, and that the sub stantial long forage must be left for-them, as the rams and ewes. This gives them a decided advantage, for, unless a fellow tracks the line and obeys their every beck and call, he receives monstrous little milk, and even that little is thin and watery. I should like to have space to enlarge upon this, somewhat, but I must not be too troublesome to the gentlemen editors, for, they being Democrats, I might arouse their KuK’ux ire, and then—oh! “Rads, to yer holes!” Americus, Ga. Lord Eldon, who recently died in Lon don, left his whole fortune to a lunatic asylum,.alleging that he had gained it by pleading in chancery, and that, therefore, it should go to the benefit of the madmen, since no one but a madman would practice in a chancery court.

The fluid which it secretes tempers the blood and regu lates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quality of tho secretion depends, in a great degree, the adapt ation of the blood to the requirements of the system and the due removal of the refuse matter which re mains in the intestines after the work of digestion ha< been accomplished. One of the principal uses of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is to tone and control this somewhat urn-uly organ. The anti-bilious properties of the preparation are scarcely secondary to its virtues as a stomachic. Its operation upon the liver is not violent like that of mercury, hut gradual and gentle. Instead of creating a sudden tumult in that sensitive gland, it regulates its action by degrees. Henco, it is a safe, remedy for bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremendous excitant, is not. The more naturally and quietly a diseased organ can be restored to ils normal condition the better, and it is the peculiar property of this harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regu late without exciting or convu'sing. The success which has attended its use as a remedy for affections of the liver is proverbial. Persons of a bilious habit who take it habitually as a protection against the attacks to which they are constitutionally liable, pronounce it the best liver lonic in existence, Thctymptoms of an approaching fit of biliousness can hardly be mistaken. A pain in the right side or under the shoulder blades, a naff; on tinge in the whites of the eyes, sick headache, a feeliog of drowsi ness, low spirits, loss of appetite, constipation and general debility are among the usual indications of a morbid condition of the liver, and as soon as they ap pear the Bitters should be resorted to in order to ward off more serious consequences. mylS-dactl tar SEWING MACHINES.—WHEELER & WILSON World Renowned Improved SEWING M ACHINES for Sale, Rent and Lease.
