CONSTITUTIONALIST
AUCiUvSTA. GhA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPT. 28,1870
A CHANGE IN THE DRAMA.
While the majority of men have their
eyes fixed upon the French metropolis and
regard intensely the details of physical
strife, their attention is withdrawn, in a
great measure, from the diplomatic cloud
gathering in the eastern part of Europe,
which seems destined, before many weeks,
to burst in fury and involve the whole of
the continent in carnage and desolation.
Inklings have come to us, from time to time,
that Russia was coquetting with Austria;
that the armies of the Czar were marching
into Poland and on the frontier of Bessa
rabia. The latter movement has startled
the Turk, and tremendous preparations are
being accordingly made, very silently
though, as is the custom of the East, to
meet the coming wrath of the Romanoff,
whose lustful gaze, since the time of Peter
the Great, has never been turned from
Byzantium. If Russia should move to
ward the Black Sea, which she has coveted
for centuries, what nation can stop the
way? The Turk may make a good fight,
but, without allies, he is certain to be
beaten into lint. Austria might prove
a lion in the path, but Austria -has
probably a hand in the pie. France is in
no condition at present to help anybody
seeing that poor Mr. Thiers is sauntering
up and down, from London to St. Peters
burg, begging that somebody will help
France, whose throat is in the unrelax
ing gripe of the German. England is the
only Power which would or could move to
check-mate the Russian and save the
Ottoman empire, so that her colonies may
be spared. We think the Turk ought to
be driven out of Europe; but it may not
be best for the world that the Russian
should supplant him. England has “ gone
into trade” and her army appears contemp
tible. But, she has an incomparable navy,
an almost inexhaustible purse, an isolat
ed position and, if needs be, can sub
side ze armies to nearl v any extent. How she
can help stripping for the fray, in case of a
Russian war with Turkey, we do not under
stand; and if she does enter upon the
quarrel, she will prove an adversary, one
way or another, of the most formidable
character.
Russia can probably put into the field
an army of 800,000 men. The paper esti
mates are greater; but paper estimates
have wofnlly failed in the case of France
and may fail in the case of Russia. Her
navy consists of 310 vessels, 248 being
steamers, and 25 iron-clads.
Turkey is not powerful for aggression;
but she is not to b - despised as a defensive
Power, although mongrelism has sapped
the manhood of the Ottomite since the
days of the earlier Arabian conquerors.—
She has a “paper army” of 450,000 men,
but could not, it is estimated, raise at. once
for the field exceeding 130,000. This force,
of course, would be greatly iucreased in
case of invasion, since the troops of Tur
key and Egypt, during the Crimean war,
numbered 216,000. The Turkish navy com
prises 23 steamers and iron clads, com
manded by an Englishman, a son of the
Earl of Buckingham, known in Great
Britain as “ Dog Hobart ” and among the
Mussulmen as Hobart Pasha. Hq was a
famous blockade runner during the Con
federate war.
The British standing army consists of
not more than 200,000 men. Half of these
are distributed in various quarters of the
globe, the other half reinaiuing at home.
Great Britain, however, has many millions
of men, but whether they will come wheu
called upon, and whether some, the Irish
especially, will not come in the wrong way,
remains for future determination.
It may be that Russia will draw in her
horns. If so, the world will be spared a
further saturnalia of blood and crime. But
if the colossus should move, she wiil
agitate the world of Europe, and especially
the dominions of John Bum, and Abdul
Aziz.
Jimfisk. —From Maretzek’s account,
Jim Fisk is not only the vainest peacock
in the universe, but a very dirty fellow
withal. At a supper given to his blonde
performers, Fisk requested the impresario
to act as interpreter. “Inform these la
dies, Max,” said he, “ that we have no
kings or emperors in this country, but we
have James Fisks ; that, in fact, New York
is called Fiskville already.”
Maretzek refused to be a go-between,
and excited Fisk’s ire. He concludes with
these terrible words:
“On the morning after the Nilsson con
cert, Mr. Fisk, with some little difficulty,
owing to my own respect for my family,
consigned me to the limbo of swindlers,
thieves, and suckers, where so many of his
managers had been sent before, and where
l found congenial company in the press aud
that part of the community which still has
an old fashioned prejudice against the oc
cupation of the panderer, and can stand all
revivals except that of Sodom and Gomor
rah.”
From all we can gather, this portrait of
the New York hero is a correct one. His
mental capacities are undoubtedly immense,
but he resembles rather some depraved gal
lant revived from the obscene heathen
world than a creditable specimen of the
manhood of the nineteenth century. Great
will be his downfall.
Cruel.— The most cruel thrust yet given
the negro race comes from the New York
Times, an orthodox Radical organ. The
Times tells the black men very plainly
that votiug will uot entitle them to re
spect, and even Intimates that uot to vote,
at this juncture, is perhaps the best badge
of gentility. The Times then informs the
“colored” race what it must do to rise in
the social scale. We quote:
«It must furnish a fair quota of able
and successful men of business, of learned
and astute lawyers, of well-trained scholars,
ofeloqueut preachers, of painstaking, and
clear-headed, and thorough men of science.
It must, too, do a reasonable amouut for
the arts of music and painting, at least.
Lastly, it must furnish a respectable quota
of honorable and polished men of culture,
and women of the same sort.”
In other words, Sambo and Dinah must
perform impossibilities. Wendell Phil
lips has given the signal ior Radicalism to
throw the Germans overboard. Pretty
soon the colored brother will go the same
way.
The Difference.—G<ethe remarked
that the French had abundance of esprit,
but knew very little geography.
Considering the name of the river that
runs by Berlin, we suppose the Prussians
have no less Spree and far more geography.
Hon. C. C. Olat.— We are sorry to learn
that Hon. C. C. Clay, of Alabama, was
thrown frpm a wagon on Friday last at St.
Paul, Minnesota, fracturing several ribs,
find sustaining other injuries.
A Paphian Dome.— The female brokers,
Mesdames Woodhull & Claflin, of New
York, have just opened what they call a
Lady’s Club House. Everything is finished
in the most extravagant manner, and the
effort seems to have been to imitate the
most gorgeous establishments sacred to, or
profaned by, the male sex. We quote:
“ The visitor, on ascending the grand
staircase from the floor beneath and reach
ing the lobby, is struck with admiration
and astonishment on seeing a magnificent
hollow dome—all fresco work and gilt,
with beautiful images and florid scroll
work, classic decoration, and grotesque
picturings—directly over his head. On
looking up his eyes are blinded or en
tranced by a flood of light beaming through
a circular sheet of glass, painted in the
most exquisite colors and with inimitable
grace. On Us surface the artist has pictured
the loves of Venus in delicate lines."
Very fine, no doubt. But what rational
man would not pray to be delivered from
choosing a wife from the female clubbists?
The Male-Stowe. —Senator Henry
Wilson has attempted to embalm the
memory of the late Secretary Stanton by
proving beyond farther controversy that he
was a hypocrite, a coward, a conspirator
and a sneak. Judge Black, who was
once Stanton s friend, endeavored, some
months ago, to save the dead man’s repu
tation at Wilson’s expense. But Wilson
has, without intending it, gibbeted the
Yankee Carnot, so-called, as a detestable
spy and traitor beyond even the possibility
of Judge Black’s powers of veneering.—
But it happens, however, that successful
duplicity and mendacity are the very at
tributes a certain class of Puritans wor
ship in their god.
Unkind. —Because some artist lias sculp
tured Lincoln to the very life, the New
York folks try to persuade the world that
the figure of the late lamented, set up in
Union Square, is a “ hideous nightmare
which people have after supping ou roast
pork and lobster salad.”
When the people of the North shall have
awakened to a proper perception of their
great crime agains’ the South, an image of
ugliness will stalk among them more in
tolerable, by long odds, than the truthful
statue of the defunct rail-splitter whom
they once deemed divine.
Tax on Interest or Coupons.— The ac
companying correspondence, as setting at
rest the vexed question whether railroad
coupons and interest, maturing in the last
five months of this year, are subject to
United States tax, is of importance to the
public:
LETTER OF PRESIDENT SIMONDS.

Charleston, S. C., Sept. 14,1870. :
G. J. Hascall , Esq., Assessor of In ternal Reve
nue of the Second District of South Caro

Dear Sir : Are railroad coupons matur
ing first September subject to a Govern

refuse to pay otherwise.
Yonrs, respectfully,

Sir : 1 have the honor to inform you that
the honorable Commissioner of Internal

The Word “ Jew.” —The following,
which appears in a communication to a
New York paper, is a piece of information
that many do not possess: “The word
‘ Jew ’ is not the name for the once great
nation of Palestine, but it merely describes
their faith or belief. If you should ask me
what religion I have, my answer would be H
“lam a Jew.’ Ask my nationality—my
Answer, ‘I am a German.’ >he same as a
Protestant can be an Irishman, as well as
a Catholic can be a German or a Jew can
be a Frenchman. Mr. Sig. Kaufmann is a
German by nationality and a Jew by re
ligion; and if a Jew is born in Dublin he
is as well an Irishman as a German born
in New York is an American. I don’t be
lieve there is a Jew living on the globe
that could trace his descent: for, when the
emigration from Asia to Europe took
place, Jews and Geatiles went there as
well as J ;ws and Gentiles came to Ameri
ca. You have attended Jewish weddings
and funerals as well as Catholic, and both
were Germans. Can a Jew be a Teuton or
can a Lutheran be an American are both
the same question. The Jewish religion is
taught all over the globe."
A New Fish Story. — Mr. Sumner
Clark, of Comvllle, Maine, a few days
since, was digging a ditch through a piece
of low land, and when at the depth of three
or four feet he struck a vein of pure water
that gushed out two inches or more in
diameter. As he stood looking at It a fish
five or six inches long appeared, and at last
another, until he had gathered thirty. The
fish resembled what is usually known as &
chub.

TRUST WHAT TIME HAS SANCTIONED.
THE MAXIM THAT THE VOICE OF THE
people is the voice of the divinity, may in some
eases 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 Hoctetter’s Stomach Bit
ters, as an antidote and cure for many ailments, is
based. During the twenty years that it has been be
fore the world innumerable preparations, intended to
compete wRb it, have gone up like rockets and come
down the extinguished sticks. Meanwhile the pro
gress of that incomparable tonic has beeD swift and
steady—always upward and onward, like the eagle’s
flight. Its introduction produced a revolution in
therapeutics, and it proved to be one of those salu
tary revolutions that cannot go backwards To-day
Hostetter’s Bitters is one of the mos’ 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 of epidemic fevers,
1t bakes precedence of every other remedy. This
fact should teach the ambitious country dealers, who
endeavor to foist their local abortions on the public
in its stead, how futile their small attempts to cajole
the community must necessarily he. Where the
game l sh have failed there is no channe for the
“suckers.” seplb-toctl
B&- PAIN MAY BE SAID TO FOLLOW
pleasure as its shadow, bnt the misfortune is that, in
t his particular case, the substance belongs to the
shadow ; the emptiness to its cause. But pain may
he relieved, and the affliction caused to turn from
“ mourning into gladness,” inasmueli as the “ Old
Carolina B.tiers” is the best friend of the invalid.
