Tbartilax Morning. December 9, IMS.
THE RCIXEU HOI'TH.
We print on the first page of this is
siH*. a communication from PARKER
PIIXSBI'RY to the X. Y. Independent,
to which we ask the attention of the
reader. Mr. Pillsbury was the com
pe?r of Garrison, Phillips and Smith,
in the work of Abolition, and is at this
day, perhaps the most consistent and
earnest of the whole circle of Anti-Sla
very agitators. The Independent, to the
columns of which the article was con
tributed, is an ultra Radical journal,
edited by the notorious political relig
ionist, Theodoie Tilton. The general
tone of the article itself reveals the
writer's decided antagonism to the
Democratic party, which fact should
make his testimony all the stronger
with those who adhere to the Radical
organization.
It seems that 31r. Pillsbury has been
making a tour of observation in the
South, forthe purpose of learning the
real condition of the negro population
in that section. He knew too much of
the character of the adventurers who
Hocked to the Southern States, imme
diately after the close of the war, to
place unquestioning reliance in the
rose-eolored reports concerning the
well-being of the African "man and
brother" sent out by them from time
to time. The mass of the God and
and morality party might live on in
their credulity and gulp down any
quantity of carpet-baggers' tales of ne
gro intelligence and negro happiness,
spiced with the usual Ku Kiux stories
of the barbarity of the Southern whites;
but as for him, he preferred to visit
the Abolition Cauaanand see and hear
for him-elf. He went and saw and
conquered a good deal of his old preju
dice against political and social dis
tinctions based on race or color. He
says,
"Strangeas it may seem,'not one col
on d person in a thousand will refuse
whisky, old or young, male or female;
though in slavery, I am told—indeed,
wasalways told—that drunkenness was
not a prevailing vice. Probably the
restraints of masterhood had much to
do with it. The whisky is usually
drank raw and reeking from the bar
rel, without -ugar and with very little
if any water. * * * I have
seen mothers pour it thus down the
throats of six months babes, men, wo
rn* n,children, and thestorekeeper look
ing on without remark."
How does this jump with the theory
of those pious people who insist that
Radicalism is reform and that the so
cial and political equality of all people,
white, yellow, red and black, is prog
re— ? This apostle of the gospel of
Abolitionism, in a single paragraph
contradicts all his preaching in the
past. If not one free colored person
in a thousand will refuse the abomina
ble whisky sold in the stores of the
carpet baggers, and if during slavery
drunkenness was not a prevailing vice
among the negroes, is not the moral
condition of the African population of
the South worse now than it was be
fore the war? And if the negroes
have retrograded morally, does it not
follow as certainly as the night follows
the day, that they are decaying phys
i. tlly, failing industrially, declining
intellectually, and, therefore, eking
out miserable lives, useless alike to
themselves and the community?—
Here is a question that might be stud
ied to some purpose by the noble army
of temperance lecturers now perambu
lating the country, some of whom im
agine that Abolitionism is the twin
sister of their own goddess of Abstem
iousness.
Mr. Pillsbury sketches the negro as
a legislator,in the following style:
"A majority of the legislature of
s'outh Carolina are colored men, and
many of them can neither write nor
read. * * * At the opening of the
session, colored votes were easily
bought at five dollars, though later
they rose on their price. One shrewd
Yankee from Massachusetts, not a
member, but who had some schemes
to lobby through the legislature, car
ried to the capital some cases of new
hat-, and with them as a legal tender
drove quite a spirited and successful
business."
And this is one of the legislatures to
which is entrusted the work of amend
ing the Constitution ol the United
States! This "legislature" of South
Carolina,.truany of whose members can
neither write nor read, and who are
bougiit at five dollars a head, or for a
Massachusetts wool hat, has already
ratified the Fifteenth Amendment.
Nay, without the affirmative vote of
this immaculate and intelligent body,
the Amendment can never become a
part of the Constitution. Where is the
man whose cheek will not crimson at
the thought? Is there really an A
merican so corrupt, so base, so recre
ant to all that patriotism holds dear,
who will not scruple to champion so
stupendous a fraud upon the nation?
But this not all that Is related of
the blessings of fructifying Abolition
ism, by its quondam prophet. He
pronounces "reconstruction" a dead
failure. "From the sole of Its foot to
it- head, if it have any head," says be,
"there is no soundness in it, none i
whatever." And then he gives us a !
glimpse of its effects in ihe/ederalcap- I
it*l, where he has seen Radical Alder
men "sitting at the city council board
so drunk that they had to be removed
by the police before business could pro
ceed," and refers to an account by "an
eye-witness" of Judge, elected under
the "reconstruction" regime in South
Carolina sitting on the bench "so
drunk that he had to be taken home
by his friends and the court adjourn
ed," whilst the Clerk was "about as
drunk as the Judge!" A darker pic
ture of the remits of Radical malice
and folly, could not possibly be drawn.
It is enough to startle the most stolid,
to shock the most stupid, adherent of
that party. If this hideous revelation
of the horrible condition of the South
ern people, blacks as well as whites,
faii to disgust the people with the pol
icy of the dominant party, then may we
well exclaim,
'■Can sueh things be,
And o"?erc jme us like s summer'seload
Without our special wonder"'"
THE second se—ion of the Forty-first
Congres.-commenced on Monday. The
proceedings were opened at 12 o'clock,
M. The usual ceremony of appointing
a committee to wait upon the President
and receive a copy of his Message, was
gone through with. Grant's commu
nication to Congress was read to as
sembled radicalism. This is about all
that has been done up to the present
writing. We hope that we shall not
he called upon to chronicle such dis
graceful scenes as were enacted by this
same body during the last session.
THE scarcity ot money, excess of im
portations and thedifficulty of disj>osing
of the crops in the West, at a profit to
the farmers, are among the reasons
given by mercantile men for the de
pressed condition of business. Rumors
of failures, and of difficulties in meet
ing monetary engagements, are com
mon, and there are an unprecedented
number of stores in our large cities ten
antless.
Such are the results of Radical folly.
The Grant administration instead of
wisely conducting our National affairs
has managed to involve the nation in
great financial difficulties. Poor labor
ing men are thrown out of employ
ment, while rich, over-paid Radical
office-holders exact high taxes and
live sumptuously.
THE New York IVorfd, of Saturday
last has a long article in reference to the
tiunesin theshapeofan official conversa
tion between the reporter and certain
leading merchants. The pith of which is
that it is the sober anticipation of Peter
Cooper and other large business men
and capitalists, that a general crash in
business may be looked for before long.
The decline in price-—the stagnation
in labor, and approaching poverty a
mong the poorer classes, point to com
ing distress. The monetary affairs of
the country are in great disorder, and
difficult to control, and when the re
vulsion sets in, there must be distress
somewhere.
NEGROES have almost undisputed
possession in Washington. They
steal, plunder, waylay, beat and cut
the inhabitants of the city in the most
miscellaneous manner, and the fact
that they are voters prevents the mu
nicipal authorities, who desire re-elec
tion, from taking them in hand. The
other night a negroe mob in the Fourth
ward of that city beat two policemen
so badly that they cannot survive, and
the loeal magnates seemed to take the
affair as a very pardonable bit of pleas
antry. The citizens, generally, think
otherwise and there is talk of a Vigi
lance Committee. It will be a sweet
comment on "loyal" rule when the
people of the Capital are compelled to
take the law into their own hands, to
preserve themselves from anarchy and
black mobs, the direct result of the
"loyal "policy.
THE election in Texas has resulted
in favor of the Conservative ticket. —
Hamilton is elected governor, and the
lagi.-lature is largely conservative.
This gratifying triumph prevents the
division of Texas into two or three
petty states, to which the radicals were
strongly committed, and renders the
safety of that pet measure of radical
ism, the XVth Amendment, extreme
ly precarious. Texas is Democratic to
the core. Hurrah for that!
THE Mississippi election seems to
have gone against Grant'- brother-in
law, Dent. We had supposed that the
Gift Enterprise and Family Favorit
ism load woul d drag heavily in Mis
sissippi. Even the negroes staggered
under it. Ames, Grant's satrap, how
ever, was not for Dent. Perhaps his
bayonets persuaded some of the voters.
Indeed, we shouldn't wonder if they
did!
Up to November 27 there had been
slaughtered at the principal Western
depots 467,318 hogs, against 366,445
for the same period of last year.
The Bultan, according to a report in
Paris, has presented Eugenie with a
diadem worth six millions of francs,
A fire occurred in Galveston, Texas,
which entirely destroyed four blocks of
buildings and three-fourths of two
others.
Almost the eutire Republican ticket
has beep elected in Mississippi.
Laud speculators have purchased
nearly every acre for sale in Florida.
pa*
rsoi THE reEUI. CAPITA!..
The district Supreme Court has sus
tained the decision of the lower court
in rendering judgment for the defen
dant in the cause of Joseph Bradley vs
-Judge Fisher for damage.
A large number of persons inclut'-
ing several Senators and Representa
tives had interviews with the Presi
dent. Among those who had conver
sations with Gen. Grant were Mr.
Horace Greeley, Senators Lewis, of
Virginia, Drake, Cameron, several
Senators from the Southern States,
Representatives Logan, Van Horn,
and many others.
A large number of Cubans culled up
on Admiral Porter, and assured him
that they had traveled across half of
Cuba, and in all their tour dicj not see
a Spanish officer or soldier. They sta
ted that the Spaniards admit that the
Island is hopelessly out of their grasp.
The Secretary of the Navy has issued
orders for the building of twenty tor
pedo boats, similar to the one experi
mented upon a few days ago.
The action of congress between now
and Christmas will be simply feeling
the pulse of the 1 'gislative body and
hiking a diagnosis of the politic heart.
The argument in the ease of the
Spanish gunboats, seized a few days
ago by the United States authorities
was sat down tor to day, but on com
ing into Court, District attorney Pierr
pont asked that it be postponed until
Wednesday, which was agreed to by
the council for the claimant.
The Cuban delegation had an inter
view with President Grant and strong
!y urged the recognition of their strug
gling republic. The president said the
laws that he obeyed wereplain, but that
congress would probably do something
in reference to Cuba soon after assem
bling. *

TUA OLDEST YOUTH'S PUBLICA

So various and rascally are the
means employed in Indiana for obtain
ing divorces that the newspapers are
beginning to denounce the practice in
good earnest. A lawyer at New Al
bany, who has made a fortune by his
practice in securing divorces, gives
this as his mode of procedure in a re
cent case: The husband and wife
were to quarrel and fight every day,
and this was to be done in the pres
ence of the children of tbe wiie who
were well grown and they were to be
made to believe the fighting was genu
ine, instead of feigned. The pro
gramme was carried out to the letter,
and then the husband applied for a di
vorce. He set forth "Incompatibility"
in his complaint, the wife addmitted
it, the children swore to it. Judge
Bicknell granted the divorce. The
same day she transferred some proper
ty of her fird husband as she had de
sired to do, and the next day the di
vorced couple were remarried.
A shrewd trick has just been played
by a Pennsylvania)! in the oil regions.
It appears that he had lost everything
by speculation, and determined to re
trieve his fortunes by getting up an
other petroleum excitement. He ob
tained a quantity of crude oil, which
he buried in the cellar of his shanty,
and afterwards pretended bis land was
full of oil. Some live Yankees from
Bath, Maine, greedily grabbed the
bait, bought the supposed rich oil
tract, formed a company, sold a great
amount of stock, and prepared for an
active development of their f>etroleum
property. Wells were sunk and ma
chinery set up, but no oil was to l>e
found, and the Bath i tea are out nearly
a million of dollars by tbe collapse of
the concern. They acknowledge the
gullibility of Americana is about equal
to that of Englishmen.
A wood-sawyer who was piling
wood near the railroad track at Edgar
ton, Ohio, one day last week, noticed,
while standing on the pile as the
lightning train approached, a large
stick lying upon the rail. Without a
moment's hesitation, he leaped direct
ly before the train and grasped the
stick. At that Instant the engine
struck him and hurled hirn some dis
tance forward. He fell to the ground
mangled and lifeless, but he saved the
train.
A negro boy stole a doll in Peters
burg, Vu., the other day, and while
protesting his innocence unwittingly
pressed it as he endeavored to hide it
more completely under hisshirt. The
doll gave a loud squeak, and the little
negro, who had never heard of crying
dolls befor.e, turned almost white and
thought a miracle ha 1 heendone in his
case.
In Waltham, Vermont, last week, a
girl eight years of age, finding her
dress inflames, with remarkable pres

saved her own life, but that of the ba
by also, by keeping away from it until
the fire was put out.
The verdict of the coroner's jury on
the Western Pacific railroad accident

and sent to jail.
A vigilance committee in Fremont
county, lowa, a few days ago lynched

lynchers.
The mail train west on the Erie and
Philadelphia Railroad collided last
week with a freight train going east;
both locomotives were wrecked, the

The reported offer of Gen. Jordan to
surrender to the Spanish forces some
time ago is confirmed, his objects, as
stated, being to escape with his fellow-

them.

Philadelphia owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment ol pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
I lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora
j tion. for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
; slight cough will throw it off. and the patient has
; rest and the lungs begin to heal
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
| Pills mast be freely used to cleanse the stomach
an i liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food wii! make good blood
i Schenck's M indrake Pills act upon the liver,
i removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
! gall-bladder, the bilestartsfreely. and the liver
| is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel;a deadly poison which is very dan
! gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
| of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills
i Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
| causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the seaweed,
| which this preparation is made of. assists the
i stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why phy-jicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
j up the secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr.Schenck, in his treatment,does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Re
move the cause and they will all stop of tbeir
own accord. No oue can be cured of Consump
tion. Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia. Cataarh, Can
ker. Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofcourse thelungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
! scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast de
j caying. In such cases what must be done? It
{ is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it is
| the whole tydv The stomach and liver havelost
their power to make bffl'od out of food Now the
only chance is to take Schenck's three medicines,
! which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
j patient will begin to want food, it willdigesteasi
i ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
j to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
i grow, the lungs commence to heai up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy and well. This is the only way
to cure consumption.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
| the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
i freely in all hilliou-* complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounced bis case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Schenck s preparations with tho same remarkable
success. Pull directions accompanying eacb,
j make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
j Dr Schenck, unless the patients wish their lungs
1 examined and for this purpose he is professional
j ly at his Principal Office. Philadelphia, every
.Saturday, where all let ers for advice must be ad~-
