CONSTITUTIONALIST
AUG-USTA. <3-A.
FRIDAY MOB.KING. SEPT. 23. 1870
AN ANSWER tO AKERMAN.
The Attorney General of the United
States, Mr. Amos Tappan Akbkman, has,
within several weeks past, made campaign
speeches, very unbecoming the head of the
« Department of Justice.” In all of these
partisan harangues he has attacked Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens and the great
principles enunciated by him in his Consti
tutional View of the War Between Q* States.
Mr Stephens has deigned to notice these
assaults. We shall have the honor of pub
lishing his reply, in our issue of Saturday
morning. Mr. Attorney General is made
to look very small indeed. When a special
pleader, suddenly elevated to notoriety,
grapples intellectually with a statesman
like Alexander H. Stephens, he is very
apt to have his comb cut. And this is just
what has happened to Mr. Akerman, as
our readers will see for themselves on the
morrow.
War Maps— Waggish Mark Twain has
burlesqued the war maps of the New York
Tribune. His diagram is entitled the “For
tifications of Paris,” and exhibits the po
sitions of St. Cloud, Vincennes, the Erie
Canal, Jersey City and Omaha. Accom
panying it are “official commendations.”
General Grant says, “It is the only map
of the kind I ever saw.” Bazaine says,
i* if i had had this map I would have got
out of Metz without any trouble.” J.
Smith writes that it completely cured his
wife of freckles, and Napoleon admits
that “ it is very nice, large print.”
We presume that Mark will hardly at
tempt to buriesque the Tribtlne special cor
respondence. That’s a deal more funny
than anything in the comic vein of the
Buffalo Express.
Oh i When General Grant’s friend and
adviser, General Rawlins, died, the poli
ticians, headed by the depraved Butter
field, raised a “ Rawlins Fund!' At the
head of the list stood the name «f U. S.
Grant, President of the United States. It
now turns out that FrsK and Gould paid
Grant’s subscription out of their own
pockets, and Grant thanked them for it
accordingly. A little while afterward, he
did his best to smash the men whose money
he had taken to help the “ Rawlins Fund."
No wonder Grant likes Akerman.
Curious.— Nearly all of our contempo
raries who found fault with Judge Ste
phens’ first letter have neglected to pub
lish his second epistle. They all say it has
been omitted ‘‘on account of its great
length,” and yet nearly every one of them
found space for the New York Tribune's
bogus account of the battle of Sedan.
Judge Stephens’ letter was of great length,
hut it was of great strength also, and far
more important than a fancy sketch of a
European battle written in Greeley’s
back office at New York.
Wilkes Boo'rn.—Poor old Lincoln’s
evil genius has been heard from. He is
sorry for pistoling Abraham, the more so
as it was caused by a misunderstanding.
Abraham and Wilkes are, however, re
conciled, as ghosts, and walk out daily to
gether. The medium who reports this item
of intelligence asked Booto if he “ had had
a conversation with God yet.” Booth re-
he.had not yetseen

Very Jjicfe.-/rhe Courier-Journal gets
off this good one:
“ During an artillery skirmish between
“ the Prussians and the French, which re
“ suited in nothing more than the burning
“ of a number ofmills, barns and haystacks,
“ General Sheridan exclaimed to Bis
“ makck : ‘ Count, I can compare this
“ fight only to my great battles in the
“ Shenandoah Valley.’ ”
Too Sensitive, Perhaps. —lt seems that
when the vote was taken in the Senate on
the Akerman abomination, seven Demo
crats withdrew through disgust. Had they,
holding their noses, remained to vote, the
record would now stand ayes 19 noes 18,
only one majority. The bill would have
passed all the same, but this thing of going
off, because Conley smells offensively, may
be practiced too frequently and inoppor
tunely.
The English Mission. —The mission to
England is not yet filled. Maybe if Gen.
Grant would publish the bids up to date
some millionaire might give the requisite
amouut in horses, cash, pointer pups or
partagas cigars. Horace Greeley has
just sold his model farm for $3,500, but
that will not begin to do as a bonus.
A telegram says Ben Wade is the lucky
man. Now. what on earth had Ben to
gi ve ? _ _____
Champagne. —lt is computed that the
supply of genuine champagne will be very
short for several years to come. But this
need not disturb nine-tenths of Americans,
for they have still an unlimited supply ol
their ordinary substitute, which is com
pounded of Rhine wine, apple cider and
carbonic acid gas.
A Rare Bird.—Dr. Redwine is an
nounced as a candidate for the Legislature,
and endorsed as a man whom the office is
seeking and uot the man who seeks the
office. We are told not to look on wine
when it is red, but we should like to look
on Redwine just for curiosity.
Toul. —The commandant of Toul, who
ha,i just repulsed the Prussians, declines,
so he says, to surrender “ till his shirt flaps
are fired.” Ah, had he but said till his liu
neu duster is in the hands of a Yankee cor
respondent !
Very Appropriate. —And now the New
York critics say the statue of Lincoln, re
cently erected in Union Square, is an “abor
tive attempt.”
How true to the original 1
A Picture. —The World suggests as the
subject tor anew picture, Sheridan, in
company with Bancroft, at the tomb of
Lafayette.
What about the match box ?
N. B.—The general who besieged Rome,
in command of the Italian army, is named
Cardorna, but telegraph operators don’t
seem to think so.
[COMMUNICATED.]
Judge J. S. Hook.
Augusta, Ga., September 22,1870.
Dear Constitution .'
In your editorial columns I notice that a
correspondent states that Ju_^S e Hook may
rely upon the support of Jefferson county,
in case he should consent to be a candidate
for Congress. I am certain that the fiomi
nation of no other gentleman would so well,
be in accord with the wishes of the entire
district, and in particular of those of
|Richmond County.

yours, etc. B. P. Wells.
Poking Fun at a Georgia Justice—A
Georgia friend who has laughed over some
of the very extra judicial decisions of
learned judges that have found their way
into the Drawer, sends the following as
having actually occurred in one of the
cities of that State:
Our friend is full of the dignity of his
office, and entirely convinced that the af
fairs of the country would come to a full
stop but for his efforts. Not long since a
man was Brought before him on a warrant
for vagrancy. A plainer case conid not
have l>een presented, and "as the evidence
was given in, the young lawyer who was
defending him thought the case a hopeless
one. On rising to sum up, and while
badgering his head what to say, he hap
pened to notice that his client was tolera
bly well dressed, and called the attention
of the court to that fact, claiming that no
man who wore “ good clothes ” could prop :
erly be considered a vagrant—a vagrant
being a ragged, dirty vagabond. Observ
ing that the court made a memoraodtyn of
the words “ good clothes.” he had the good
sense to sit
•tflVjudge, with his rich
brogue, said: “ The caart having ittin
tively haard the ividence and the remarks
of counsil, is of the opinion that, inas
much as the prisoner wears good clothes,
lie cannot properly be considered a va
grant ; but, as he has not shown to the
satisfaction of the caart how he obtained
thim clothes, I shall bind him over for sim
ple larceny.”
He was so bound over, and the papers
arc on record in the county clerk’s office.
[Harper's Drawer.
Speech by Ex-Prksident Johnson.—
Nashville September 18.-—Ex-President
Andrew Johnson spoke at Gallatin last
night to a large audience. He briefly re
viewed his career since the commencement
of the war. He maintained his consistency,
and claimed that he had acted uniformly
for the good of the whole country. He re
ferred to the principles on which the Federal
Government was organized, and declared
that they had been subverted since the war.
He said he had al wavs been a Democrat;
he was elected Vice-President as a Union
Democrat, and he had not and would not
swerve from the true faith. He condemned
the recent State Convention for ignorance.
He then read a resolution, adopted by the
State Convention, favoring the restoration
of the Southern States to their rights as
the sovereign States of the American Union,
and said it was secession and a revolution
in disguise, and admonished the people
against repeating the errors of the last civil
strife. He recommended a close alliance
with the National Democracy, and a choice
of Governor, members of Congress and the
Legislature free from suspicion of secession.
He condemned the Slate Convention for
not disclaiming secession, and suggested
the holding of primary meeting to exhibit
the tone of the State of Tennessee on the
subject. He closed with an appeal for pru
dence and discretion, tokeepoff reconstruc
tion and military rule.
Louis Napoleon’s Memory.— Napoleon
111 has an extraordinary memory for
names, figures, faces and miscellaneous
facts. A German professor, who was call
ed to Paris in connection with the publica
tion of the Vie de Omar, relates that it was
Napoleon's invariable habit, on having
communicated to him a name or number,
or any brief fact which he wished to re
member, to write it down In a note book
kept exclusively for that purpose, and
which always lay upon his desk. After
writing down the memorandum, he would
tear the leaf, out of the book, read it over
once attentively, and then tear the leaf up.
And he told the professor that after im
pressing the fact on his mind by this pro
cess he never forgot it. key to this
extraordinary faculty of memory doubtless
lies in the fact that, during his long years
of imprisonment, in early life, he did not
dare to carry important memoranda about
him. He was obliged to rely on his mem
ory ; but that he did not at first" trust it al
together, is seen by the fact that, through
the force of habit, he is still obliged to
make sure of a fact by writing it down,
and so fixing it in his mind, instead of
trusting entirely to the sense of hearing to
act upon his memory.
Rapid Telegraphing.— On Thursday,
a dispatch of 556 words, from Messrs.
Munn & Cos., of this city, to the Scientific
American , of New York, was transmitted
by the little automatic system in ninety-five
seconds , or at the rate of 21,448 words per
hour. The message was perforated by a
member of the firm of Munn & Cos.; and
after it had been used on the transmitting
instrument, the perforated paper was for
warded per mail to the firm in New York,
where it was compared with the slip on
.which the message was received, and each
character upon the two slips was found to
correspond. Mr. Craig will soon be ready
to invite Mr. Orton to the test he chal
lenges.— Washington Republican.
The elephant “ Empress,” which traveled
withra efrens through the State about a
year ago, in crossing a bridge in Salisbury,
N. C., fell through and was considerably
injured. On coming to the place last week,
although anew bridge has since been built,
the elephant refused to proceed, and all at
tempts to compel her to cross were unavail
ing, so that it became necessary to take
her around some five miles to another
bridge over the stream.

TRUST WHAT TIME HAS SANCTIONED.
THE MAXIM THAT THE VOICE OF THE
people is the voice of the divinity, may in some
cases be open to doubt, but the testimony of honest
and enlightened witnesses, extending through a se
ries of years, and all to the same purport, is worthy
of credence - admits of no question. Upon such tes
timony the reputation of Hot tetter’s Stomach Bit
ters, as an antidote and cure for many ailments, is
based. During the twenty yenvs that it has been be
fore the world innumerable preparation*, intended to
compete with it, have gotie up like rockets and come
down the extinguished slicks. Meanwhile the pro
gress of that incomparable tonic has been swift and
steady—always upward and onward, like the eagle’s
*lJ> -•- 1,1 r ig in
therapeutics, and it proved to be one of those salu
tary revolutions that cannot go backwards. To-day
Hostet.ter’s Bitters is one of the most popular reme
dies in Christendom, and commands a larger sale
than any other medicinal preparation, domestic or
imported, on this side of the Atlantic. Asa cure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections, gen
eral debility, and as a preventitive of epidemic fevers,
it takes precedence of every other remedy. This
fact sbonid t ach the ambitious country dealers, who
endeavor to foist their local abortions on the public
in its stead, bow futile their small attempts to caiole
the community must necessarily he.* Where the
game i sh have failed there is no channe for the
“ suckers.” »epls-toctl
