Note* on the Situation—No. 5.
■;kt
B. H. BILL.
f It is said, in .the next place, that if
redo hot accept the present plan of
©construction proposed in these mili*
iafy bills, another plan, more odious
and oppressive, will be provided. Fur
ther disrranchisement, it is arid, of
/the white race will take place, and it
/may be a total disfranchisement of all
I but the blacks and their fellows in suf*
’ ferings and former bondage—tbe per
secuted loyalists; and who alone will
then have the government of the State.
(But if the present plan fails because
it is unconstitutional, how can a worse
plan—a plan still more unconstitution
al—succeed? If it is not in the power
of a Congress to disfranchise a few, how
can it disfranchise all ? Congress can
neither ' make nor unmake electort, and
every member of Congress knows it—
and every act which seeks or pretends
to make or unmake voters in a State'is
void, and will be declared so; and every
election held, or Constitution formed,,
or government organized by voters who mei
are made voters only by Congress, is
void, and will be declared so. Every
man who is made a.voter by the laws
of his State, and is denied that vote by
Congress is wronged, and every agent
or officer of the Congress or other per
son who enforces the denial is a wrong
doer, and responsible in all the penalties
and damages prescribed by tne State
laws. The only danger possible lies in
the strange fear of the people to assert
their rights, and the consequent dispo
sition to consent to the wrong. From con
sent alone can wrong derive power, and
when otice consented to its power be
comes irresistible. If they did not see,
or think they saw, a fatal inclination in
our people to yield, Congress and the
renegades would not ask their consent,
nor dare to inflict the wrongs. For to
attempt the wroDg and fail (and with
out consent they must fail) can only
bring ultimate disgrace on those who
make the attempt. When the burglar
knows the owner of the House is
awake and determined to resist, he will
not dare enter; but if he* knows the
owner is asleep or disposed to yield, he
is sure to enter; he is invited to enter.
A Congress, or a fragmentary conclave
thereof, who breaks the Constitution to
inflict wrongs on an unresisting people,
is more criminal and far more coward
ly than the burglar; and the man who
is within—who is of the people—and
who counsels submission to the wrong,
is far more to be dispised than a bur
glar or than even such a Congress.
Of like character is the threat that
if we reject their plan, Congress, will, in
a new plan, add confiscation. He is to
be pitied for his simplicity who does
not know that Congress has not no
more power to so confiscate the prop
erty of a peaceful citizen than has a
political meeting, church or <nob; and
that the very attempt would necessari
ly end the existence of the Congress
attempting it. ^
But, unmanly and without founda
tion ot either law or reason, as am these
threats of further attempts at disfran-
chisemehtand confiscation, they are of
surpassing importance in other respects
and demand the most serious consid
eration of our people. The position
urged upon us is this: We mustsubmit
to a proposed wrong Jest a greater
wrong follow. We must surrender our
franchise, because, if we do not, our
property will be taken also. Now, the
first point to which I beg attention i^
this These positions admit that the
party (or power, if you please,) which
proposes the present wrong, has already
the will to inflict further wrong; that the
Congress which requires you to consent
to the destruction of your franchise,
has already the will to rob you of your
property.
Thus, you are asking to place your
property for safety in the keeping of
that power which already has the will
to take it. Yo i are importuned to es
cape the power of the lion by rushing
to his embrace; to avoid the fang of the
serpent by placing your hand in bis
mouth 1
This is precisely the point Will
every man in the South ponder it—re
peat it—never forget it t Disfran
chisement, confiscation, and far worse
evils will not come—cannot come—
through our existing State govern
ments. Never 1 But they can come,
and they will come through the gov
ernment which this plan of reconstruc
tion proposes to establish for our exist
ing State governments.. Who, in all
these States, favor or agiiate for confis
cation except the Northern emissary
and Southern renegade, and the negro,
when prompted and .directed by these
emissaries and renegades ? Are we not
warned ? Read the resolutions of ne
gro conventions, and whenever you find
one of these conventions in which thess
emissaries and renegades are the dev
ilish prompters, you will find confisca
tion threatened, or apologized for, or
justified or demanded. And these are
the very men who are to form, organ
ize, control and adniinister, and enjoy
the offices under these new govern
ments proposed by these military bills.
And when we admit tne power to abro
gate existing governments and organize
new governments to be composed of
such men with such views and for such
purposes, these abrogations and disfran
chisements, and new organizations, will
continue until such men do effectually
control, and such views and purposes
effectually prevail. The whole purpose
of these military bills is to add these
ten States to Radical party power; noth
ing less than the complete accomplish
ment of the purpose will be accepted,
and this purpose can never be accom
plished but by disfranchising, impov
erishing, destroying and driving oft all
the true and noble, and manly and
country-loving of the Southern people;
and deli vering over our bright and
beautiful land to the riotous rule and
roiscegenating orgies of negroes, yan-
kees and 'las'e apostates from their own
kindred, color, country and blood. I
would not fear the docile negro, left to
himself. He would soon know his true
friends, in his interest, and be useful.
But the Africanized white man is an
en^my to the peace and the interest of
both races, and would be an admitted
monster in any age or country of bar-
fa rians.
1 admit, then, that we are in fcoger
of confiscation. Those who outlaw pa
triotism and intelligence, would not
bWuple to rob. The representatives
who violate the Constitution they are
sworn, to support, in order to abrogate
State government, and reduce the peo
ple to military bondage, could not add
■h their iniquities by taking the little
Property we have left. As a peo
ple we nave but little—scarcely enough
to prevent starvation. All the werid
seems to be moving to send bread to
^keep us alive. What a curious people
s are 1 fit objects of charity and fit
Ejects for confiscation! The same
p-brings,the bread-to feed, the offi-
oppress.- and the emissary to
[ strife tad to rob ! Alas, we have
i war and in
peace, and by foes and by friends. A
few are rich. They prospered while
their victims were sacrificed—showed a
talent to make money while their dupes
showed a will to -lose blood.-, These
might naturally dread confiscation, and,
in view of tbe sacrifices they made to
get property, it may be reasonable they
should make greater sacrifices to keep
wlnt they made, for what is honor
worth to such ? But even these should
not altogether lose their reason. May
they not bo nursing a power that may
consume them T Thieves are not al
ways to be trusted, even by their friends
and colaborers. It is safer to avoid a
danger than to trust to controlling it.
When we abandon the safeguards of
the Constitution, and trust ourselves to
the magnanimity of its . violators, we
shall embrace the surest meant of pro
curing tbe loss of all things. But I
scorn to pursue such a line of argu
ment.
A people who are willing to t*4ifice
honor to aviried are beyond the
bility of redemption.

burned
HBffiH^Wastated fields
will bloom 3Py dfUnYuried children,
fallen for theiMountry, will live again
in tbe quickened spirits of new gener
ations. But as with individuals^ so with
people and communities—the sense of
honor once lost, is lost forever. Yea,
more; the history of human nature,
singly and in communities, teaches,
without exception ef example, that
when self respect Is once lost, self abase
rnent once accepted, cities, lands, lib
erty, country, cannot be retained.
It is natural too, that all others should
lose respect for those who lose respect
for themselves. If we accept the hu
miliation proposed for us, ail mankind
will be ashamed of ns, our children will
be ashamed of us, and our very ene
mies, whose hatred prompted the
shame, will mock and deride us. Even
now I believe the impression which a
few have been industrious to produce,
that our people are willing to recon
struct under these acts, has damaged
us more in the estimation of all honor
able minds that* anything else that has
happened. Ido not know Gen. Pope,
but if, as I assume, he posesses the ordi
nary instincts of honor belonging to an
American gentlemen, he must hare
felt an almost nauseating pity for the
poor men who gathered about him in
Atlanta, and, forgetting the history of
their fathers and the character of our
institutions, welcomed with feasting
and rejoicing, the inauguration of mili
tary despotism over one of the Old
Thirteen, whose sons were in the first
revolution, and who bolds in her bosom
the ashes of Pulaski! A brave man
loves courage in others, and despises
sycophancy, especially that sycophancy
which makes sacrifices to power to se
cure safety, perhaps patronage for it
self.^ Heroism in defeat, patience in
suffering, the preservation of honor in
the midst of misfortune, are the sub
lime virtues which everything on earth
admires, and everything in Heaven re
wards, and which never fail to lift
people possessing them, however tem
porality unfortunate, to final prosperi
ty and renown. And a people, howev
er great, who propose dishonor to the
helpless, who would take advantage of
misfortune to force oppression on the
unresisting, will surely sink by tbe
weight of their own infamy to mire,
and everything on earth and in Heaven
will rejoice at the fall. ...
I admit.I have often overrated the
intelligence and virtue, and endurance
of our people. Everything they have
done, from the suicidal repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, to the criminal
and factious demoralization which com
pelled our surrender, has been contrary
to my wishes, and against my protest.—
But I do not believe they are so lost to
every instinct of manhood as to accept
the plan of State destruction proposed
by the fanatical representatives of oth
er States, as contained in these milita
ry bills. Many at first were taken by
surprise, and were tempted with a des
perate thoughtlessness to yield.
But they will reject the hateful thing
they had almost embraced.

D. Harvy. as Adm’r of Wm. H. Youeil,
dec’d, of Rome, Ga. Bill in Equity for
Injunction and recision of sale of land
and cancellation of deed.
This was a bill filled by complainant
to set aside a sale of lands made by
him in 1864. The contract bad been
executed by the payment of 924,000 m
Confederate Treasury notes, and it was
admitted in thfe bill that the said sum
of $24,000 w*s worth $1,200 in good
money. At this time the land is Val
ued at five or six thousand dollars.—
There was iso allegation or proof that
the vendor df the land (Dean) bad been
imposed upon, or circumvented in the
trade;of that tbe deed for the land
had been fraudulently' obtained by' the
purchaser; Youeil.
These are, we believe, very briefly, the
substantfon points of tbe bill, »» we did
not bear tbe argument in full The
court refused to grant the injunction,
.remarking ia tbe course of the opinion,
that it wonld for the present leave the
parties where they bad, by their own
■df, placed themselves. His Honor
retained the bill in court or farther ad
judication, v- An Intel, of id.
Tmr Radicals Insist on a Kboro Can

pondent of the Anti-slavery Standard,
writing trom Virginia with an evident

among the negroes, gives tbe Republi
can party fair warning of what is in re
serve for them. The negro vote, be
■ays, will decide the Presidential elec'
tion. The negroes understand this pre-
fectly and are laying tbeir plans jn ac
cordance with it. “There are several
negroes,” says the writer, ‘‘fitted for
the position of Vice-President* and
that race claim that • :the second office
in the nation shall be filled by a negro.”
The correspondent fully indorses tbeir
claim and wishes it distinctly under
stood that it must be conceded or the
negro vote will be cast against the Re
publican party. The party, he says,
dare not refuse it. as its defeat, with
out the ne^ro vote and the vote of
Northern men who * will - back their
claims, is certain.—Macon Tel.
jgyObief Justice Chase, in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court in North Caro
lina, recently delivered an opinion on
the general law of treason, embracing a
f ood many points of general interest.—
!lm point in question Was whether
Southern debtors were released from
their debts by the acts of the Southern
Confederacy compelling them to pay
over whatever they owned to Northern
men to the Confederate Government.—
The Chief Justice decided that they
are not. He discusses the general law
of treason applicable to the recent war
betweeo the Government and the seced
ing State, and decides that while the
Southern States changed tbeir practi
cal relations to tbe Union by secession,
they did not in the least affect tbe obli
gations of the Constitution and laws of
the United States.—Macon Td.
