'10 OUR FIIEND&.
The DEMOCRAT has just added to its
office a new and complete Steam Job
Printing department, with all the latest
and most desirable improvements in
types, rules, borders, etc. We are now
fully prepared to compete with any job
printing establishment in the South.
We can turn out, at the shortest notice,
anything from a newspaper or a book
to a lady's visiting card, in the best style
of the art. We shall devote special at
tention to commercial printing and to
he printing of lawyers' briefs. We
earnestly solicit the support of our
friends in our progressive efforts.
BOUND VIEWS OU AN OLD IMPRACTI
CABLE.
Gen. Toombs has written a very able
letter in his usual trenchant style,
stropgly favoring the call of a conven
tion to frame a new constitution for the
State of Georgia.
The present constitution of that State
asserts, in effect, that this is a consoli
dated or centralized government, and
the General would have a constitution
enunciating the doctrine of local self
government. The executive depart
ment, he thinks, should be reorganized,
while the present judiciary system is
defective and inadequate to a speedy
trial of either civil or criminal cases.
The present Senate, the jury system,
the grand jury system, and the legisla
tive department are all condemned.
The General favors a liberal and effec
tive homestead law instead of the de
fective one now in force. He would so
limit and define the powers of the Leg
islature that there would no longer be a
mission in Georgia government and
politics for that iniquitous, corrupting
and debasing institution known as the
lobby. Much that Gen. Toombs has
written of the present constitution of
Georgia, framed and imposed upon the
State by carpet-baggers and ignorant
negroes, might be said of the present
constitution of this State. The follow
ing extract from his letter especially
contains sound political and economic
doctrine:
But the great defeot in the constitution is that
it does not prot ot the property of the people
against invasion of the legislattve power. The
failures to limit by organim law the power of the
legislative department have brought the Fed.
eral and $tate governments and municipal our
porations to the veige of bankruptcy, and im
poveriehed anc ruined the people. This has
been the most frithtful source of all of our ca
ilmities. We must remark and plainly define the
dividing line between individual rights and pub.
lio authority.
The ago in which we live has developed new
dangers to free representative governments.
Even the inventions and discoveries of genius in
the arts and scienoes, with their new benefits and
blessings, to maniiud have also brought new
dangees to good government. This is especially
trne of those inventions and discoveries whioh
oontribute so largely to the promotion and distri
bation of wealth and the spreading of intelli
gence among men and nations. The improve
aents in the application of the illimitable power
of steam and the utilization of electricity ge
especially noteworthy elements in their effeces
upon modern society and governments. They
have made great assooiations of capital in
numerable and gigantic corporations ne
eessary for their development. These
corporations with large capitals arc
powertul, and. therefore, dangerous to
society. They first absorb individual capital--all
right enough-then all they can borrow-still
right enot,ugh, and next the treasuries of muni
oipal ourt orations, pub.ico lands and all other pub
lic property, thi n the treasuries and creait of the
National and State governments-this is all
wrong, violates justice, transfers the sweat of the
poor eo the coffers of the rioh, appropriates the
public fund to pri.ate tse and profit, and opens
the flood gates of fraud and publio demoraliza
Mon. What is the remedy for these great evils
and dangers? We must find it somewhere, or
abandon representative government. We have
seen Oongress corrupted; State Legislatures cor
rupted; city authoritles corrupted; all of our
guards over public property and public credit
corrupted; a new power is discovered, and political
burgltary i enro i d among the useful arts of gov
ernment. The remedy is plain and sufficient for all
of these things We can accept no other security
but this : We must put it out of the power of our
rulers to injure society if they wish to do it. Let
as make a new constitution, and by that consti
sation make the depository of the public treasury
and public credit political burglar-proof, and put
the key in the pouek+ts of the people, by declar
rg that no debt shall ever be created by the
Legislature or binding upon the State except for
the public defense' that the State shall never be
bound for the "'debt default or miscarriage of
another." This will save the people and the
State from ruin. Nothing else will., and it must
be done now or we may te too late. Municipal
sorrations should. be confined to their own
Mats and not pe mitted to indorse at all or bor
aw, exops for the good government of their
rsepoetl5 eorperatlons.
Oould a constitutional convention be
moabld IS Lou~I~5a which would
embody these views in the organio law
of the State, it would prove an inestim
able blessing to the people and ten
times over repay the cost of holding it.
OYSTERS.
Under a statute of this State it is a
penal offense to catch and sell oysters
after the 1st of May. This law is little
heeded by the lovers of bivalves and
the dealers in the article. The luggers
still ply between this city and the bays
and bayous along our western coast.
There is some palliation for the viola
tion of this statute in its unreasonable
and unscientific provisions, as well as
in its conflict with natural rights. The
object of the law was to prevent the de
struction of oysters during the spawn
ing season, when they are not regarded
wholesome food. This is a wise provis
ion in its general application to oysters
engaged in the patriotic and benevolent
duty of multiplying their species. But
it does not apply to oysters not so em
ployed. Shall the bachelors and old
maids be allowed the protection and
benefit of a law which was enacted to
encourage duties which they persistent
ly refuse to assume and perform ?
To give these the benefit of such a law
would be as unreasonable as was the
act of a now distinguished city official
when, as a young clerk of a Mexican
importer fin this city, he had a large
drove of Mexican mules, brought here
from Merida, entered under the act of
Congress exempting from duties all an
imals imported for breeding purposes.
But it may be asked, how can non-pro
ducing oysters be distinguished from
those which fulfill this great and primal
duty of the whole animal world? To
answer this question demands a larger
amount of scientific knowledge than is
possessed by average legislators, rela
tive to the characteristics and habits of
oysters. All persons familiar with this
valuable branch of knowledge, know
that oysters engaged in spawning lie
near the shore in shallow and fresh wa
ter, and are justly prohibited from being
caught and eaten after the let May un
der a general suspicion of pilkiness;
whereas the bachelors and old maids of
the crustacean family repose in or sink
in the deepest and saltiest recesses of
the sea, where they are clustered and
placed beyond the possibility or capa
city of performing their domestic duties.
There is, consequently, no milkiness in
deep sea and salty oysters, and they are
wholesome food all the year round, as
well in months with as in those without
the letter R. Why, then, should the
capture and sale of these non-producers
be made a penal offense, when they are
so entirely guiltless of the offense im
puted to them, and when there is so
large and constant a demand for them ?
Shall our oyster eaters be left without
their food for five months of the year,
when we are within the reach, by a few
hours' sail, of several thousand acres
forming aa inexhaustible bed of this
delicious fdod, ridging our whole sea
coast and paving the bottom of our bays
and coves? Shall a large, interesting
and diversified population be thrown
out of employment, prohibited from a
pursuit by which they make a good liv
ing and promote the good living of all
the rest of the human races, by the
ignorance of our uneducated and un
scientific legislators? Shall those in
teresting colonies of Austrians, Las
cars, Dagos and Sicilians, who occupy
the little marine nooks and coves along
our coasts, and monopolize the business
of catching and transporting so many
millions of oysters to our market, be
consigned to inertia and vacuity during
our long summers, because some
surly and ignorant legislator is
oblivious of this fundamental dis
tinction between oysters taken from
shallow and fresh water, and
those which can only be reached at
the bottom of deep sea water, by twelve
foot tongs and clamps ?
We submit to our learned politicians
and jurists whether the affirmation of
this proposition does not violate the
sacred guarantees of the fourteenth and
flfteenth amendments of the Federal
constitution.
00 CHI[NG F0.
Mr. Wong Ching Foo, an eminent
Chinaman, has, we fear, been telling
the New York people some plain truths
about some of the Christian mission
aries in his country. Mr. Foo, or Mr.
Wong Ching Foo, has undertaken, it
appears, a contract to convert the New
Yorkers to the religion of Buddha and
Confucius, and in a recent talk at a
private house to a large and select party
of ladies and gentlemen he affirmed
that the Chinese people are intelligent
and refined, and have happy homes and
a high civilization, and "more than all,"
said he, " they have a good religion and
worship God and hope for happiness
hereafter."
"How is it," asked one of the party,
" that the American people have got an
opposite impression?"
"Because," said the Chinaman, "the
missionaries who are sent out there are
interested in producing an opposite im
pression. They go out there and have
happy times. On the money they receive
from America they can live like princes
in China, and they would be working
against themselves to produce a cor
rect impression. So they come here
and tell stories about the degradation
of the Chinese, and about their 'bowing
down to ste ,k and stone,' that have no
more truta in them than the same
stories would have been if they were
told about the American people. And
they bulldoze the people into giving
them money enough to go back."
This is a pretty rough story on the
missionaries, and if Mr. Wong Ching
Foo'$ story of the happy social and
religious condition of his countrymen
be true, we should think that the
Chinese might be left to themselves
and Buddha and Confucius for the pres
ent, and the money expended to sustain
the missionaries among them devoted to
ameliorating the condition of, and
Christanizing and civilizing the thou
sands of miserable creatures in our own
midst.
Wong Ching Foo seems to have taken
this view of the subject and to feel that
the Americans are in need of missiona
ries quite as much as the Chinese. It
was on this point that he came out
strongest. He said:
We worship God intelligen'ly. WMy do the
Chri ians rage and your people imagine a vain
thin ? You talk about the heathen being damned
eter lly just as you used to talk about infants
be damned. I had supposed that all such
fool .ideas had been given up, but I see that
within a month the clergy indorse such
a view, and I want to show the New Yorkers what
the jeathens really are. The American people
have been very kind to the Chinese. They have
been to great expense to send missionaries over
to our country, and have taken all possible pains
to teach us what Christianity is, and I propose to
return this kindness, so far as I am able, by
teaching your people what Buddhism is.
"Do you expect to make converts to Bud
dbism ?" was the next question.
"I may make some," he replied; "but it is not
so much my object to make Buddeists as it is to
teach Christians what the principles of Christ
really are and to show them that the people they
call heathen are really intelligent worshipers of
God. Why, look at the results of missionary
work in China, No converts are made among the
eduoated people. It is only the ignorant and
degraded people or the children whom they suc
ceed in making proselytes."
"It is likely to be a life-long work with me," he
continued, with rather a sad smile, "for I cannot
return to my own country, and I have declared
my intention of becoming an American citizen.
And I must say that the people in the most of the
places ih which I have been have been kind to me,
and have listened to me with a great deal cf ap
parent interest. I have been offered very liberal
pay to make a lecturing tour, but I have put off
everything to go to New York, because I feel that
there is work for me to do there. I shall be in
New York by Sunday next, and I understand
that Col. Oloott has made arrangements for me
to speak on the following Sunday."
COL. JOHN FORSYTII.
Col. John Forsyth, who for thirty
years has been one of the most bril
liant and successful journalists in the
South, departed this life at Mobile on
Wednesday. He had long i een in intirm
health, which compelled him to with
draw from the active duties of his pro
fession.
Col. Forsyth was a Georgian by birth,
son of one of the most eminent and
brilliant men that State ever pro
duced. During the administration
of Andrew Jackson and Martin
Van Buren, the latter was a
member of the United States Senate,
and was regarded then as the readiest
debater in that body. His graceful and
dignified carriage, quiet wit, and al
ways ready and elegant elocution,
gave him the leadership in the
defense of the measures and prin
ciples of the Democratic party in
its palmiest days. With his high Sena
torial qualities the elder Forsyth com
bined an easy grace and elegance which
made him equally as conspicuous in so
ciety as he was in the political arena.
To his native gifts he had added much
of that polish, tact and versatility which
are acquired by diplomatic service in
the capitals of the Old World. He had
occupied the post of Minister to Spain
and had been assigned to other diplo
matic duties, wherein he won great
reputation as a most skillful and accom
plished negotiator and ambassador.
His son inherited many of the father's
qualities, and as a journalist, a political
orator and manager, and as United
States Minister to Mexico,achieved great
distinction and influence. In the social
relations he was one of the most amia
ble and agreeable of gentlemen. Few
men who ever engaged so energetically
in the party contests of the day were so
free from the acrimony too frequently
engendered by party contests.
The Picayune refers to a fisherman
living below the city, who is still pursu
ing his calling, and who is one hundred
years old. Almost every day we meet
on our streets a gentleman who is seek
ing employment in a business in which
he has been engaged for sixty years, to
wit, that of bookkeeper, who is in
his ninety-first year, and who held a
commission in the British army in 1803.
Even the longevity of this gentleman,
an old citizen, who has heretofore held
a high position in the mercantile world,
and who for many years was quite inde
pendent in his circumstances, is not so
remarkable as his appearance and con
dition, which are those of a hale, stout,
well-rounded, middle-aged man, capa
Mle of wielding a sword or a pen with a
skill, vigor and grace equal to those of
any young man in this city. Yet this
gentleman, more than seventy years
ago, as an officer of the famous Ennis
killeners of the British army, charged
the French cuirassiers in battle, and
showed himself more than the equal of
the best swordsman in that famous
corps. Our ancient (we cannot call
him old) fellow citizen is a native of
Scotland, and more than fifty years ago
was a bookkeeper in a Boston house,
and is now as capable of discharging all
of the duties of his vocation as any man
of any age in this city.
The authorities of Mississippi should
at any cost bring to speedy justice the
parties engaged in the recent murderous
mob in Kemper county. The affair, as
related, is a shocking disgrace to the
character of the Southern people, and
cannot but work great injury to the
State of Mississippi. We believe that
Gov. Stone will employ all the means at
his command and all the authority of
his office to arrest and punish the guilty
parties. The long era of corrupt and
inefficient government through which
both Mississippi and Louisiana have
passed has brought about a want of
confidence in and respect for the law,
and given to violent and lawless men
a dangerous latitude of action. This
evil must be promptly and vigorously
eradicated from both States. We have
heard of no more atrocious crime than
that which was perpetrated in Kemper
county, and Gov. Stone has now an op
portunity, by fearless and determined
action, to strike such terror to the
hearts of lawless men in Mississippi,
that he will, if he avails himself of it,
have little trouble of a similar nature in
the future.
We admire the pertinacity, though
not the stupidity, of a half dead Radi
cal sheet in Shreveport, which clings to
the fona hope that the United States
Senate will yet upset Nicholls and Wiltz,
and set up Boss Packard and Antoine.
This is the worst case of political idiocy
we have fallen upon. Poor thing, its
emaciated paunch will never again swell
out with publio pap.
