CENTRALIZATION.
At the recent convention of bankers
held in New York city the following
resolution was offered and referred to a
committee:
Resolved, That in the4hpinion of this con
vention it is advisable for the Federal gov
ernment to exercise surveillance over the sav
ings banks, loan and trust companies, and
tire, marine and life insurance companies.
The resolution was not reported back
and therefore did not pass. But the
fact that such a resolution was
offered and considered is significant.
It is another indication of the disposi
tion of the money power of the country
to favor the centralization of the gov
ernment.
Jay Gould, when he expressed his
willingness to give a million dollars to
transform the Republic into a monarchy,
clearly defined the desire and purpose
of his class; and Mr. Tom Scott, in his
proposition to increase the army and so
.organized and disposed it that it may be
rapidly "directed against points of dan
ger," exposed the means by which the
centralization is proposed to be estab
lished and maintained. This warning
may be regarded as sensational. The
public sentiment of the country has drift
ed so faraway from theold land marks of
constitutionism, has become so familiar
with innovation and with encroachments
upon the old theoieil t.at the people
have oeaed- t be Jealous of their in
stitutions or to entertain apprehensions
about their safety.
But when conventions of bankers,
railroad magnates, great public jour
nals and party leaders begin to advance
and 'urge measures such as those pro
posed in the late convention of bankers
and the increase of the army to control
the peoples it is tire to be alarmed. And
we do not speak merely from a senti
mental or patriotic standpoint. Every
material interest of the country is im
periled by this tendency of the money
power toward centralization. Every
merchant, every planter, every man
whose business and bread depend upon
civil order, is vitally interested in oppos
ing and forever putting down the revo
lutionary schemes we are discussing.
The men who are urging them are
sharpening swords for their own throats
and preparing matches to destroy their
own property. They are repeating the
old and oft-repeated folly of their
class. They have seen their prop
erty depreciate, and they have seen
fierce mobs threatening communi
ties with knife and torch. But,
instead of inquiring into the cause
of these evils; instead of making an
effort to remedy them by wise and
just measures, theycall for a centralized
government and for a vast army to keep
down the hungry and infuriated mobs.
This is the heightof folly. The nearer
their views are carried out the greater
will be the danger; the more frequent
will be the outbreaks. The interests of
this vast country are too numerous,
diverse and antagonistic to be governed
at Washington. The centralizationist
is the destructionist, the worst and most
dangerous enemy, not only of the
Union, but of the peace, and conse
quently of the material interests of the
Union. The more power and influence
is distributed among the State govern
ments the less clashing there will be
between antagonistic interests; the
less jealousy there will be between rival
States. But if the scheme of the cen
tralizationists is carried out a secession
movement will develop itself in New
England within the next five years.
If the scheme of the centrallaztionists
is carried out and the attempt made
to control the people with the army,
50,000 men will be found inadequate for
the work; 100,000 will not be able to do
it, and neither 200,000 nor 300,000 sol
diers will be able to hold in quiet sub
jection the American people. Discontent
will increase with the increase of the
army, and the growth of the arbitrary
spirit of the government and the money
power and civil strife will constantly pre
vail somewhere in the nation ; the people
will be exhausted to pay the hireliog
soldiery, and the hireling soldiery will
never be able to give peace to the coun
try. All our business'and industrial in
terests will be depressed or destroyed,
and if the country holds together
it will become literally Mexicanized.
But the chances are that it will not
hang together; it is more probable that
rival chiefs, taking advantage of the
general discontent and of riwvl inter
ests, will soon break it into a number
of miserable, bankrupt confederacies.
Such has been the issue of every such
experiment as that which the Jay
Goilds, Tom Scotts and the bankers
desire to try. What reason have we to
suppose that it would result diff.reuntly
in America ? So far as it has gone, and
it has gone already a long ways, it has
developed every sympton of disorder,
violence and ruin. Discontent pervadej
all the working classes; property has
depreciated il value; the whole coun
try staggers on the brink of bankrupt
cy; mobs have already swept more
tan one-half the Union with fire
ng swr-d, and there is every indict
tion of fresh and more riolent out
breaks. And all these are but
the results of the first stage of
Centralization. What then may we ex
pect should the fearful monstrosity
which Gould and Scoott and their co
adjutors are nursing attain its full
growth and power I
It seems to us, discarding all senti
mentalism and patriotism, that men
who have material interests in this
country should promptly discontenance
these centralization schemes and de
mand that the original character of the
government be restored.
THE POLITIOAL PROSEOUTIONS IN
FRANOE.
The chief solicitude of the De Fortou
administration of the Republic of France
seems to be to guard with tender care
the morbid sensibilities of that extreme
ly sensitive personage, President Mac
Mahon. The energetic prosecution of
Gambetta is not the only instance of its
rigor in punishing those whose bland
speech or less direct innuendo may have
chanced to offend the Marshal Presi
dent. Some time ago, it may be re
membered, the arrest of an editor in
Savoy was announced, whose offense
was an insult to Grant. It now turns
out that the insult consisted in drawing
a comparison between Grant and
Thiers and MacMahon, unfavorable to
the last, observing that Grant had
resigned his office when his term
had. expired, without saying anything
about holding on "till the end." With
Touchstone, we might exclaim, "Faith,
we met, and found the quarrel was upon
the seventh cause." Yet, upon this
very distant reflection the court of cor
rectional police fined and imprisoned
the unfortunate Savoyard. Were "If"
the peace-maker under the republic
that the philosophic clown of Shakes
peare tells us it always is, it might easi
ly have obtained this offender's pardon;
for "if " he meant to intimate to MacMa
hon's prejudice that Grant relinquished
the Presidency voluntarily, or that he
would not certainly have held on to it
to the bitter end had he no
sterner republicanism than that
of France to deal with, instead
of insulting Grant he paid him a
most undeserved tribute in ascribing to
him a self-abnegation that very few
Americans attribute to him, while the
insult to MacMahon is but "circum
stantial" after all, and not such as to
justify, according to the court eti
quette of our fool, the extreme resent
ment it met with.
But this is not the most grievous in
stance of the impatience of these French
Republicans with contumacious indi
viduals. A gentleman, who was partly
deaf, has been imprisoned and deprived
of his political franchises for five years
for refusing to testify to certain injuri
ous criticisms of MacMahon made in
his presence, the judge declining to ac
cept his deafness as sufficient excuse
for his not giving evidence in support
of a prosecution.
The most reasonable deduction, it ap
pears to us, that can be drawn from
these incidents is that the people who
can lodge such powers in their govern
ment as to enable it to bring about such
prosecutions and convictions have but
a poor idea of the liberty of person or
the freedom of speech, which are the
very bulwarks of republicanism. Cer
tainly, so long as they are possible in
France, a republic there is an impossi
bility, or at least so dangerous an ex
periment as to justify a faithful
and patriotic ruler in a course
which, among a more democratic
people, could be designated only as
that of an ambitious usurper. It
is barely possible that MacMahon
may realize this fact, as Napoleon
claimed to have done before him, and
which he urged in extenuation of his
course as contrasted with that of Wash
ington, for whom he professed the most
extravagant admiration. However this
may be, it is very certain that liber
ty of speech and action is being nar
rowed to limits altogether inconsistent
with the safety of Republican institu
tions, and that the government in these
measures is doing all that it can do to
make a Republic impossible.
FEROCIOUS COMBATANTS.
Those accustgpmd to respect the rules
of civilized warfare can have very little
conception of the uncompromising
animosities which pimate the Russians
and Turks, or more properly the Moslem
and Christians. Centuries of war, with
the reciprocal slavery of captive prison
ers, continued contempt and persecu
tion, have so exasperated these enemies
that compromise or intervention are im
possible, and nothing but absolute de
feat and exhaustion can arrest the re
sistance of either. To give some idea
of the barbarous nature of this conflict,
we give the following account of the
capture of Ismail from the "Histoire
de la Revolution Francaise," by M.
Louis Blanc:
The town of Ismail had been always
considered as the key of the lower
Danube. ' Suwarrow invested this place,
and on the 22d December, 1790, at 5
o'clock in the morning, to reduce it to
ruin, opened upon it with the most for
midable artillery that had been then ever
known. In the midst of the consterna
tion which this terrible bombardmrnt,
spread throughout the town, and while
the Cossack rushed towards the ram
parts on the side next the river, the
order was given for a general assault.
"Brothers!" sail Suwarrow to those
around him, with an ominous famili
arity, "No quarter! RB member every
where no quarter! Provisions are dear!"
The Turks displayed an intrepidity
equal to the wrath of their enomies.
Eight times were the Russians repulsed I
and overthrown in rivers of bloo. i
Their loss was so enormous that the
continuation of the attack was, at one
time, deemed impossible. Transported
with rage, Suwarrow dismounted his
cavalry and forced them to the assault.
He himself snatched a standard from
the hands of the bearer and scaled the
walls and planted the flag upon a Turk
ish battery. The assailants redoubled
their vigor and very soon a furious body
of soldiers penetrated through every
partof the city. Then followed a spec
tacle as deplorable as those which Nu
mantia and Saragossa have left to his
tory.
Inspired by a sublime despair, and im
patient to die the Turks rushed forward
in crowds, either upon the Russian bay
onets or into the waves of the Danube.
None asked quarter of the victors, whose
haughty disdain increased their cruelty.
The Russians carried the assault at six
o'clock in the evening, and they con
tinued the carnage all night. When the
sun rose it displayed a scene of destruc
tion whose horror could not have been
imagined during the darkness, except by
the explosion of the artillery, the cries
of the dying, the lamentation of women 4
and children.
Of the 24,000 Turks who had defended
Ismail, all perished, from the first to
the last. The number of dead, com
prising the inhabitants, without regard
to sex, age or condition, amounted to
31,000. The Governor of Ismail was
found covered with a mound of dead
and riddled with wounds. Three thou
sand Circassian women, belonging to the
harems, were on their way to the
Danube to escape violation by the Cos
sacks, when Col. Coffey, an English
gentleman in the service of Russia, in
terposed and saved them.
We were pleased to greet in our sanc
tum last night our friend Hon. Jos. H.
Acklen, meinber of Congress elect from
the Fourth District, who has just re
turned from a summer sojourn in the
East. Mr. Acklen talked with a num
ber of members of Congress and promi
nent politicians during his trip, and ex
presses the opinion that unless Mr. r
Randall is nominated for Speaker on
the first ballott, he will be defeated.
He has no reserved force and will
develop his whole strength on the first
vote. The chances of Hon. Milton Say
lor, of Ohio, Mr. Acklen believes, are
excellent. Mr. Blackburn is regarded
as too, bitter a partisan to win the prize.
Cox has a good deal of strength but not
enough to win. A triangular contest
between Randall, Cox and Saylor may t
result in the election of a dark horse.
Our young friend looks as though his
trip had materially benefited him, and t
he is very confident of obtaining his
seat in Congress, which is contested by
one Darrall.
Mr. Henry G. Hester, secretary of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, sends
us a copy of a memorial to Congress,
praying for an appropriation to repair
the Mississippi levees. The memorial
will be found in the counting-room of
the DEMOCRAT, and in all the public
places in the city. We trust that every
citizen of New Orleans will sign it. The
restoration of the Mississippi levees is
not a work of local importance; it
touches the interest of every section of
the Union and of every citizen of the
United States. A work of more national
importance could not be devised. The
region of country protected by the
levees is the richest and most produc
tive in the United States, being the
sugar and chief cotton area of the coun
try. Thoroughly protected it would add
millions to the wealth and trade of the
Union.
We invite our friends to visit the
counting-room of the DEMOCRAT and
sign the memorial.
The nomination of Gov. Gaston by
the Democrats of Massachusetts, was
a very wise thing. He made a most ac
ceptable executive four years ago, and
he might have been one now had he not
been set aside for Mr. Adams, a favbrite
American candidate, but one who ap
pears to be stronger every where else
than he is in Massachusetts. Gov. Gas
ton, on the contrary, is extremely popu
lar, personally, at home, while his ad
ministration of his office when Govern
or of the State was so wise and conser
vative as to make him many friends
outside of the party.
It is very probable that the Republi
cans will put up in opposion to him his
old antagonist, Gov. Rice, who is quite
as unpopular, personally,as Gov. Gaston
is liked, and whom he defeated before
by 7000 majority, though the rest of the
Republican ticket was elected by almost
double that majority.
That is a pleasing suggestion of the
commissioners appointed to wind up
the affairs of Howard's gorgeous swin
dle-the Freedmen's Savings Bank
that the depositors who have been
robbed resolve themselves.into a lobby
to secure from Congress an act author
ing-the purchase by the government of
the bank building. This building,
which cost originally twice what it was
worth, was put up at auctioft not long
ago, and withdrawn because the price
I asked was not bid; but these commis
I sioners see no objection to the govern
ment paying the sum they have fixed
up)>n. By the wiy, why are not the
funds on hand repaid to the swindled
depositors?
Speaking of the celebration of the 14th
September, the New York HeralJ ob
serves:
The opoonents of the Southern policy of the
Administration will get very little comfort
from the New Orleans cmlebration of the res
toration of honest government in Louisiana.
In the large military procession that was held
the flag of the United States was seen every
where, and no memorial of the Lost Cause was
anywhere tq be seen. This is the latest South
ern outrage.
The destruction of the revetment at
the New Lake End by the storm of yes
terday and the day before, is a great
disaster to New Orleans. The whole of
the promenade, which was such a de
lightful resort of summer evenings for
all classes of our people, is entirely
gone, and, most probably, will not be
rebuilt, at least for some time.
Miss Mary Nunez, the New York
actress who recently threw herself away
on Spencer, of Alabama, is a Southern
woman, and the niece of Gen. Loring,
of the Confederate army and now in the
service of the-Khedive.
Suit has been brought by a man
named Forrest, claiming to be a nephew
of the great tragedian, to test the va
lidity of his will. Better late than
never.
Will Mr. Beecher please step to the
front and give us a classification of the
kiss Hayes imprinted on the alabaster
cheek of Morton?
A CARD.
NEW ORLEANS. La., Sept. 19i, 1877.
T. the Editor of the Democrat.
Sir-It is not often that one phvsician is 'ailed
upon to defend himself against the attacks of
another physician through thie pulbil, press;
nor is it ulite in keeping with the profeosionali
dignity of gentlemen who have had ambition
enough to study the science and practioc of
medicine to do so, whenever they are assailed
by men mean enough to make iuse of their pro
fessional optortunities to gratify their Inliice;
however there are times when ia check must ih
pult upon the evil practice of onle's enemy, and
believing that the medical profession and the
public of New O)rleans will eins.det' me fully
justifled in m king the following statemedt, I
resplectfully sullbhni, it both tas adefenseof myself
as a iceIlntiate of the toyal Colhege of Surgeons
In Ireland, the Royal (Colleg of Physicians of
Edinburgh, e:e., and to the end that tile public
umay learn all the particulars (ias far as a news
pap'r letter will allow) of the Coroner's inquelst
with which my name was connec'ted, as per re
port in yesterday's newspapers.
In the early part of last month I was visited
by one Clara JohnsoIn. who reqllested me to
prescribe for her; she was suffering very much
with diarrhea. I did so. After she b ing to my
offlce a few times and I being to her resitlene,.
I was sent for on the 16th ult., and on visiting
her found her conflned to her bed and com
plaining as before. After due examinaltion I
discovered she was also afflicted with dysen
tery, for which I treated her, antd visited her
freqluently from that time liu to the 11th inst.,
when she was delivered in my absonce of a still
born child. On the lath inst. she died, and I
gave a certificate of death in accordancen with
the most prominent symptoms of her illness,
viz: dysentery. (Now here I would refer to
other matters in connection with her death, of
which I have heard a great deal since, but as
there Is tlo be criminall Dro('edinlgs in the mat- r
ter. I pass on to the auropsyand coroner's jury.) v
It appears there was a good ..eell of talk at her
"wake" abont a "iu-s"ishe was alleged to have S
had with some one four or five weeks previous.
and it was then in ordeorfor some one to remark
to a police officer that she was very likely killed.
tc".
Next day my certificate was interesnpted, and
the Coroner, accompanieLd by the City Physi
clan, visited the body of the d ealn.d, and to
the surprise but satisfaction of her mother,
etc., declared she had died, not from dysentery.
but peritonitis, and that said peritonitis was
the result of a bl w. Well, it is to tbe hoped that
Fr. J. C. Beard was prudent enough to (Ill in
somln other physicila to a' rrolbratl hi e ,n
clusions, but perhaps he did nrt deem such1
prrclautlon necessary, as he was the City l'hysi
clan and I was a more' doctor; anl, again. I
suppose he was in a similar position, after
hearing what the moeher, etc., had to say, to
that of the student who. when selnt to visit a
patient, conelluded ihe had eatenli a llorse on
account of there being a saddle ant1 bridle
un(lder the bed. But I could not expect Dr.
J. C. Beard to Iet such an opportunity for in
juring me pass, for sur- lv. a man that told
several of my patients that I was not a docto'r.
bit his collector, would 'heerfullyl certify that
death was produced by perit(nitls when I said
it was by dysentery.
As to tihe instructions he gave to tile Cor
nor's jury We will see. in ,evldince, whein the
Coroner hlsm Ibeen fortified by tih opinion of the
Attorney General., of whomnl ie was to halv
takeln advice yvesterday, as to whether I was
notgnilty of malpractice. In conclusion, I
would compliment Dr. J. C. Beard on discover
ing that dece('asled came to hIer d(eath by por
itonitis prodn(led by a hlow -murder, and at
the samt1' time that the physician was guilty of
malpra'tilc ill trlating the deceas'ed, showing
thatt 1hel delased died fron two difflrlent
l'alluss, viz: First. from the blow on the Dart
of the ac(Ilmsed, Amy Johnbson; and secondly.
from the effects of the tre-atment by the phlysi
einn. therebyt startilng a Inew umlobteul i mdli
Pal jurisprud'n -e., and which will have to he
solved before the worldi ('n knlow who or what
it was that terminated thl earthly existn'oe ,of
