CONSTITUTIONALIST
ATTGUJtSTA. GhA^
SUNDAY MOSmfl, OPT. 2.1870
FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
FOR CONGRESS.
FOR TJIB SHORT TERM.
GKN. R W. CARSWELL,
Os Jefferson County.
FOR THE LONG TERM.
JUDGE W. M. REESE,
Os Wilkes County.
MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL.
The New Era claims that the Election
Bill is not unconstitutional, “ because it is
approved by the Attorney General of Gen.
Grant.”
That's a poor reason. Gen. Grant usu
ally makes his Attorney General decide as
lie pleases, and not as the bill of rights pre
scribes. The poor creature is subservi
ent, and Akerman was no doubt chosen
because of his facility in crawling at the
feet of power. Besides, what a farce to
quote the authority of a man who belongs
to a party which exists outside of the
Constitution,” by the admission of the late
Thaddkus Stevens, and which boasts that
if the Constitution happens to get in the
way, “ so much the worse for the Constitu
tion.”
Chief Justice Brown deserves credit for
his effort to save his party from supreme
baseness; but the less said in justification
of Grant’s Attorney General the better for
his reputation as an honest politician or a
lawyer in good repute.
Meanwhile, what an awful jackass was
that, individual at Washington village,
in Wilkes county, who played fantastic
tricks with the tail of Akerman’s mule.
That so called “Ku Kiux outrage” may
have been bad for the mule, but it was a
god-send to Akerman. It brought him
into prominence with the great Horse
Doctor at the head of affairs, and, as a
trump card in politics, beats Sumner’s
backbone all hollow. What a load of re
morse must that man carry who tortured
the tall of Akbbman's mule !
Our New York Correspondence.
New York, September 29,1870.
The decline in cotton at this market yes
terday to 16% for middling uplands, and
15% for low middling for December deliv
ery is an important fact to Southern plant
ers, and deserves just now more than pass
ing consideration. There are several
causes. In the first place the crop appears
to have matured early, the season thus far
very favorable for picking operations, and
the crop has been hurried to market with
such rapidity that increased estimates of
the tota 1 yield begin already to be current,
—one writer placing it as high as 3,800,000
bales. The unfortunate experience of
Southern commission houses and bankers
last Fall, when they were somewhat dispos
ed to resent my caution againststarting the
last crop out of the hands of planters at
figures which could not be maintained,
now induces extraordinary caution on their
part,, and they have not, thus far, shown
any disposition to check the decline, pre
ferring to let the market take its own
course, and find, with due celerity, a solid
basis. Spinners have not been able to
work up to their full capacity, in conse
quence of the wide spread drought, which
has dried up the mill streams. The war
between France and Germany, aud the
revolutionary republican movements in
other countries of Europe, have been fatal
to confidence in trade circles, and none
seem to be willing to hold stocks of mer-
chandize beyond pressing wants ; a policy
r which, especially at its inception, is &I
'Mfty4-pro&fe4fgt to lower prices* hqwever
ofl^rings on sale. Thera
fore Manchester , decline.
Agaiflkt fiVI twese adverse Influence, rfoth
ing can be urged except that money is
easy and the demand for goods is brisk in
our markets. No wonder that the decline,
of which I gave your readers a hint a fort
night since, has been great and decided.
But has not cotton about “ touched bot
tom ?” I think it has. At least, 15 cents
for low middling uplands in December is a
reasonably safe flxure. I will give reasons
for the faith that is in me. Gold must ad
vance materially, aud at once—probably not
less than ten points, or to about 1240125.
The importations are enormous, and at the
low prices at which our products are going
forward the. balance will be largely against
us, to be settled with gold ; thus,-besides a
large export demand, the requirements to
pay duties will be excessive. A portion of
the new tariff goes into effect on Saturday.
Against this event, goods have been piled
up in bond to an enormous extent. They
are needed, and they will be withdrawn
after the Ist October, with extraordi
nary celerity. Gold to pav duties is very
scarce and in few hands. No considerable
amouut can comd out of the Treasury till
November Ist, and in the meantime an ad
vance is inevitable. This of itself will
check the decline in cotton, and by stimu
lating the export, revive speculation, and
produce no 1 nconsiderable reaction from the
decline of the current week.
The political campaign in this State
assumes a most favorable aspect. There is
no doubt of a complete Democratic triumph.
Tammany Hall will wisely co-operate with
the Republicans in preventing illegal
voting, and the majority in this city will
be somewhat curtailed thereby; but we
shall carry the State without the aid of
the great city. Every day I meet leading
Republicans who declare that they will not
submit to the domination of Jolinsonites
which Grant has placed over them. a
The Protestant Episcopal Convention Tor
the diocese of New York (Bishop Potter’s)
commenced its annual session in this city
yesterday. The sermonizer selected for the
occasion inveighed with great severity
against Ritualism—demanding that his
hearers should remember that they live and
have their field of action in the United
States and during the nineteenth century,
and that both these circumstances rendered
the efforts at ornate manner of worship un
wise and destructive of all capacity for
good.
Complaints are being made of sickness,
more particularly in the upper parts of the
city, and the suburbs adjacent, in conse
quence, it is thought, of impurity in the
water, this being brought about by the
lona continued drought and Insufficient
supply. There is no doubt that the ex
tremely warm and dry weather of the last
two months has so reduced the natural
flow of the Croton river as to render the
supply of water entirely inadequate to the
wants of the city, and early in the season
the chief engineer of the department was
sent to Putnam county in order to ascer
tain if an additional supply could be ob
tained, and in consequence, several lakes of
pure water were discovered and secured.—
The wisdom of these precautionary meas
ures are now being made apparent, for
Borne davs since the supply at the reservoir
having been found very low, fifty millions of
gallons were supplied from these lakes.—
Had it not been for this the city would
now be almost without water.
The annual report of the Commissioners
of Central Park has just been sent in, and
contains some interesting items. Photo
graphic pictures of points and objects of
interest are given, end also a description ol
works outside the Park, a topographical
description of the Park, correspondence in
relation to a parade ground, and also in re
lation to specimens for the museum of
natural history; In relation to works of
art; lists of gifts, devices, bequests, speci
mens deposited for exhibition, birds and
animals in captivity; a paper on the water
ing of roads-, a description of meteorologi
cal apparatus, and other matter of interest.
The benefit of the Park to surrounding
property is also shown. In 1856, the total
value was something over twenty-six mil
lions, and in 1869 the value was over one
hundred and fifty millions ; showing an in
crease of more than one hundred and twen
ty-three millions in twelve years. The
total coat of the Park, including the cost
of the ground ($5,328,844), up to the first of
January, was $10,804,231, and the annual
clothe ' Park' u ['" t J "
nwr oncost of land and im
provement, is $2,159,908. The total num
ber of pedestrians«ntering the Park during
the year was 3,265,541 ; equestrians, 54,611;
vehicles, 1,340,697. The total number of
visitors for 1869 was 7,350,957.
Fisk and Maretzek, not content with the
pommelling inflicted on each other at the
Grand Opera House, and with the issuing
on each side of indignant letters to the
public, are about to appeal to the courts.
This method of procedure was resorted to
in the first place by the beaten and bela
bored impressario, who had a writ served
upon his antagonist, the latter, meantime,
swearing vengeance in return. All this is
as amusing to lookers on as the most di
verting spectacle which these two promi
nent caterers for the amusement of the
public could, in their happiest moments,
devise.
October is close at hand, and, with the
coming of the “ melancholy days” and the
falling leaves, one has a right to look for
cooler weather- For the last few days,
however, we have been suffering from a
hot and sultry sun, which brings unwel
come memories of days just gone by ; and,
looking for causes of heat so unusual, some
give as connected with this the remarkable
display of the northern lights which on
Saturday night illumined the heavens with
a brilliancy which lias not for years been
witnessed, and which covered the entire
sky from zenith to horizon.
The Germans are, one and all, busy and
interested in a Fair, which is to be held on
the 17th proximo, in aid of the wounded of
that nation on the other side. Where it is
to be is not as yet made public, but we
doubt not it will be a fine affair.
Openings come thick and fast, and the
f ishionables are in a state of happiness in
going from one to another. Fifth avenue
and Broadway have resumed their wonted
appearance, fashionable theatres are filled,
and fashionable churches are reopened,
even Beecher having resumed his .shep
herd’s staff.
The event of most interest this week will
be the funeral of Admiral Farragut, which
is to take place to-morrow, amid ceremo
nies the most imposing that can be devised
by the committee of arrangements appoint
ed for that purpose, and the minute de
tails of which have not as yet been given to
the public. The order of procession, it is
now knownj will be frbm the foot of Canal
street where the remains will be landed, to
Broadway; up Broadway to Fourteenth
street, through Fourteenth street to Fifth
avenue, and through Fifth avenue to
Forty-second street. All the stores on
Broadway, on the line of march, will be
draped in mourning. The military, exclu
sive of the Grand Army of the Republic,
which, as a civic body, will parade, will, it
is estimated, amount to about twelve thou
sand men, and it has been positively an
nounced that the President and Cabinet
will participate.
Seebach, the German tragedienne, whose
coming Grau has all Summer with such
diligence heralded, has marie her appear
ance at the French theatre, and has been
received with great favor. The character
chosen for her debut in America was the
favorite, almost the hackneyed, one of Mar
guerite, from Goethe’s Faust, and last night
she selected the role of Mary Stuart , one
possibly better known and as often repre
sented as the unhappy Gretchen of German
tragedy, and a character which was a fa
vorite one of Ristori, and one in which
Seebach exhibited her powers to as great
advantage perhaps as in her previous im
personation of the love-stricken maiden.
German in New York, however, has not hith
erto been the language of Fashion, and to
the dictates of Fashion, and to the caprices
even of a goddess so fickle, the caterer to
the public must even yield ; and possibly it
may have been in consequence of this that
the audience last night was not nearly so
crowded as that wh'ch greeted Ristori
night after night, even subsequent to the
lapse of weeks and months. The Nilsson
concerts prove still a great success, though
to see Nilsson iu concert sei ves but to give
one a glimpse of how much greater she
would prove herself iu opera, unfettered by
the restraints of the concert room. Ja-
nanschek, after a prolonged disappearance
f* qmjpnhllc. view, is announced for Kng-
Uajutiraroa at the Academy of Music, on
the l2th of next month. Cl

A TAINTED ATMOSPHERE.
MALARIOUS FEVERS ARE MOST PREVA
LENT in the Fall. Heavy and unwholesome exha
lations then arise from the earth, and the great
disparity between the temperature of day and Bight
predisposes the system, enfeebled by the Summer
heats, to epidemic diseases. The secretive organs, the
liver especially, are apt, at this period of the year, to.
bscome inert and sluggish, and all the bodily powers
require renovation. The best, indeed the only pro
tection against the morbid influences of the season is
a wholesome medicated stimulant. Pre-eminent
among the restoratives of this class, and indeed fore
most among the remedial and preventive medicines
of modern times, stands Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
Its reputation is co-extensive with the Western
Hemisphere; it has been a standard article for twenty
years; its sales (as may be ascertained by the revenue
returns) are far larger than those of any other pro'
prietary preparation on this continent; and the tes
timony in its favor embraces letters of. approval from
the most distinguished members of all the learned
professions and from well known residents of almost
every city In the Union. These are its credentials
To state what it is doing to prevent and assuage the
sufferings of the human family would require more
space than can be given to the subject here. The
dyspeptic, the biliious. the nervous, the weak and
emaciated, the desponding, the broken down, And in
its renovating and regulating properties a sure and
immediate means of relief. It is a pure vegetable
specific, at once safe sad potent, and for which the
whole materia medica affords no substitute.
