ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Friday Morning, Feb. 1,1887.
The Proceed lug* of the nicotine of Citi
zen* on WodncNday.
Wo were uinler tlio Impression wlicn wo re
ferred on yesterday in theso columns to tho pro
ceedings of tho meeting held iu this city on
Wednesday last, Hint they would be handed in to
us for publication in the usual official form, bear
ing tho signatures ol tho Chairman who presided
over it and tho Secretary. It seems Hint this was
not done, hence they appeared in this pajicr iu
the form they did—tho words at their bead, “Rk-
t'OitT ok the Secretary," being placed there in
tliis olllce, while in tho Era the proceeding* ap
pear as an editorial report. We would much
have preferred receiving tho proceedings in the
usual otllcinl form, but must content ourself now
with what was handed in to this olllce and pub
lished.
Wo have only one word of explanation to make
in regard to a portion of the published " pro
ceedingis.” .Mr. Gaskill’s resolution as originally
introduced did not embrace the word " legal" in
that portion of it which authorized the commit
tee to bo raised, to take steps “ to procure for
Atlnuta a Mayot more suited to secure the city’s
welfare.” It was this which induced Judue
Whitaker to make the remarks ho did "dep
recating anything like rasli measures or the
taking of any step not warranted by law," de
nouncing also, as ho did, anything like revolu
tionary measures, that caused the term legal to
be inserted in tbo resolution. We deem this ex
planation neccssnry for reasons that we need uot
explain.
Ohio—Negro Suffrage.
The Ohio Legislature scorns to ho a little ten
der-footed about submitting tho question of negro
suffrage to tho people of that State, and the rea
sons why it should not ho done Just now arc va
rious and novel. For lnstanco, tho Sandusky
■ Hrgister says i
Wo are nshnmotl of the Republican party in
tho Ohio Legislature. Thoy decline to permit
the peoplo to dccido whether tlinv want impartial
suffrage or not, for tear that Vallandighum will
go to Hie Semite in place of Wade! Elion! Is It
to this that the Republican parly of Ohio 1ms
come thus early ? ' Did our legislators learn noth-
“ " ‘ ‘ * * Why, tho people of
Tlie Labor t)uest!ou.
Wc referred a short time ago to the fact that
in the principal cotton-growing section of our
State—Southwestern Georgia—many largo, val
uable plantations would not be cultivated this
year, lor tho reason that the freedmea iu that
section refused to make contracts for labor with
the planters, or owners of the same. In other
sections of the State the same bad spirit prevails,
and it is manifest that for the “shovel and the
hoe ” the freedinen have a greater aversion now
than they had the first year ol their liberation
from their former masters. Kven in the vicinity
of Savannah, where tiie bureau authorities have
endeavored to compel them to make labor con
tracts, such has been their repugnance to it, that
resistance has been made when military force
was invoked to compel it, even to the shedding
of blood. We have no doubt that evil counsels
have had a great deal to do with this—Hint art
ful and bad men, colored aud white, have man
aged to attain nu undue influence over the igno
rant and confiding freedinen in various localities,
and that tlds, together with their natural aversion
to labor, 1ms brought about this lamentable state
of affnirs. Tina makes the question of labor one
for grave consideration iu our Slate. It should
command the attention, at once, ol file wise and
practical in it, and there should lie no effort
spared to secure it in some form, else abandoned
fields will soon be numbered by thousands, and
our production ol coltou and the cereals dwindle
down to comparative insignificance. There are
two traits in the negro race, civilized among us,
that cause much of this aversion to labor stead
ily on farms where they have once labored.
First, change is the order of their nature, and
hence they seek new homes, however kindly they
may have been treated in the old ones. Thu con
sequence is, that thoy can easily bo tempted to
abandon tbo latter, and seek at a distance from
it the former. Wo witness this to a great extent
from this standpoint. Daily the trains from
hence to Memphis are crowded with freedmen,
freedwomeu, and children, taken from Georgia
plantations to labor in Mississippi aud Arkansas,
where they neither get better pay, nbr can their
condition be improved in any respect. The ex
tent of this is indeed alarming, so far as the
question of labor in this Stnto is concerned. For
it there must be some remedy. The other trait
in the race is one that also affects the interests
of agriculture. They have a great desire to live
in towns aud cities, and hence everyone ol these
in Georgia, our own city especially, is over
crowded with idle freedmen and freudwomen, a
large majority of whom do uot earn llieir daily
bread. We know, personally, many of the
former, who were rqtaed to farm work-
healthy, stalwart fellows—who are now idle
in the city; who have been offered work
upon farms aud good wages; but who prefer in
dulging in the pleasures of a city life, and will
not leave it till, as paupers, they are forced to do
so, or go to work in a chain-gang. And as for
the luttcr—tho freedwomen—there are hundreds
upon whom misery has set her seal, but who
still cling to the city, rather than work upon a
farm. For this evil, aggravating as it becomes
every day, there must be a remedy. We must
linvo labor in the State to till its fields, and us
we have but Mule hope that it can be procured
lrom the so-called freedmen, to tbo extent, in any
degree, it is, and will bo needed, no delay should
arise in making arrangements tosecureitin somo
other way.
Our attention has been directed to this subject,
by an advertisement which appears in this
journal, headed, "Do You Want good Laborers?"
We know the advertiser well, lie is, perhaps,
one of the most practical men in onr Statu—a
gentleman of high attainments, fine intellect, iu
whose judgment we bnveevery confidence. We
allude to Col. R. J. Moses, of Columbus, who
has given to the question of labor grave conside
ration. It is lie who asks “ do you want good
laborers?” and he tells tho reader that lie can
supply as many good Scotch fanners, house-ser
vants, or gardeners, who will engage to work
for three years, as may be desired. Here is an
avenue at once opened, to secure labor. II the
freedman will not work, and we believe he will
not—that he will grow more repugnant to it eve
ry day—let our fields and our gardens be tilled
and cultivated, and our house-work he done by
the labor which it seems can be procured from
abroad. It wilt come to Ibis in time, and why
not begin the experiment at once ?
ing by tho late elections?
Ohio arc a quarter of a century ahead of tho
Central and Southern Ohio Solons. Vallandlg-
Imm a Senator? Yes, certainly, wc hadn’t
thought of Hint.
Taking up Hie subject, tho Cincinnati Comma--
mercial says it is a conscientious regard for bread
and butter that influences tho managers ol the
Republican party in the Ohio Legislature to at
tempt the further postponement of the rugged
issue regarding negro suffrage. So it seems the
negro is quite qualified to vote in Georgia and
South Carolina, but the rigiit pf suffrage in Hie
free Slates, so-called, is a different matter ami
needs bo dealt with very gingerly nnd cautiously.
Tho “Buckoycs” have no notion of putting the
ballot in the “brother’s hand” until they feel sure
of his vole. The Commercial says:
It is due tho enfranchised people of Ohio that
they should have Hie question squarely put to
them whether they propose any longer to regu
late the right of suffrage by the color of the skin.
Republicans arc at any rate constantly accused
of layering negro suffrage', and certainly the logic
of their position demands it. Congress has en
franchised tho blacks in the District of Colum
bia, aud lias done right; nnd is insisting upon ne
gro suffrage in the South nnd iu Hie Territories,
which is not so clearly right. Now, it the Re
publican pnrly is responsible lor Congress, it is
committed by the acts of that body to support
negro suffrage. Why then should tho questiou
be attempted to bo evaded in Ohio ? Certainly
we are not disposed to cram down the throats (if
others medicine Hint wo ourselves refuse. The
conservative cautiousness of our friends at Co
lumbus is inopportune. They seem to favor
everything radical abroad. Why should they be
come so singularly reserved at home?
“The Lesson Taught by Georgia.'’
We find the sound, sensible and suggestive re
marks below in the Montgomery Mail:
If South Carolina had taken Hie advice ol
John C. Calhoun, aud built a continental railroad
westward to Knoxville, Charleston would have
become the great seaport ol Hie Atlantic for the
Southern States. What South Carolina lost by
failing to take the advice of the old man Cal
houn, Georgia gained, by taking the advice of
the young man Alex. II.'Stephens. Georgia be
came the empire State of the South, and South
Carolina became the cauldron of politicians. It
is a notable fact that when a preacher, a lawyer,
or a doctor fails in his profession, lie turns politi
cian, and keeps his friends in a stew until he
dies. So when a Statp drops internal improve
ments and turns old fogy, we may expect to find
a political conservatism which holds on to old
things without learning new things. So it was
with South Carolina. Neglecting the advice ol
Calhoun she hung on to a dead theory instead of
reaching forward to a live fact. She argued that
internal Improvements by a Stale would under
any circumstances, ruin the people, and persis
tently shut her eyes to the fact that Boston, with
her Western railroad to Albany, New York, with

Tlie Temptation* of Satan.
The New York IleraUl is commending tlie
Southern States to accept universal suffrage ami
vote the negro. With remarkable agility, it
bounds to tlie conclusion Hint Governor Brown-
low will vote him in Tennessee, anil thus secure
his re-election beyond pre-adventure, ami says:
If the negroes hold Hie balance of power in
Tennessee, and all, under Hie manipulations ol
Parson Browuiow, vole the Rudical ticket, why
should not the leaders of public opinion in Stales
where the negro element Is still larger aud more
potentially effective than in Tennessee borrow a
bint from tlie Parson’s tactics ? Were they re
ally to “accept the situation” and, leaving their
political abstractions ill Hie limbo to which the
fiat of war has oonsigned them, adept Hie con
stitutional amendment nnd give the negroes the
suffrage, wnat would hinder them from making
the latter the allies of tlie party opposed to North
ern Radicalism ? Securing thus Hie control of
the Southern States, why might they not gain
the future bulauce of power iu Congress? Why
not ibus“pluck lrom the nettle ol danger the dow
er ol sufely ?” As things now stand it seems that
the negroes must have tlu suffrage, full or par
tial, and tbat the parly of Hie future controlling
the negro element will control the balance ot
power in every Southern Btato. Shnll the South
ern politician appropriate und wield tlds element
or permit it to tall into the huudsof his enemies?
“That is the question.”
East Tennessee Railroads.—The Chatta
nooga Union, of yesterday, says:
General Trowbridge, on the part of tho State,
nnd President Calluwuy and Superintendent
Iloxie, on behalf of the railroads, are now ut
Washington, trying to relieve the East Tennessee
roads lrom the heavy claims the Government
holds against them for rolling stock, etc These
roads were damaged by the Government about a
half million dollars, but have not, us yet, suc
ceeded in securing ibis gs an offset to the Gov-
^rn merit claims.
her Ohio road, Pennsylvania, with her Pittsburg
road, and Georgia, with her State road, all prov
ed tluit State aid to railroads, under some circum
stances, would not only not ruin the people, but
build up metropolises and empires. And so Soul It
Carolina, and perhaps Alabama, talked politics,
whilst Georgia dug dirt. The result lias been,
what? Atlanta, which was a wood slniion,
when Montgomery was a town, is now a city,
whilst Montgomery is still a town. By a recent
census, Atlanta is found to have a population ot
30,328; being about 4,000 more than .Montgomery.
How do we account for the growth of Atlanta
and the towns upon the State road, which can
boast no natural advantages? The solution of
tlie enigma stares us in tlie face. Boston, New
York, Baltimore and every large Western city,
has solved it. It is, the completion, by State as
sistance, of a great continental railroad, connect
ing tlie seaport of die State with tlie great, liv
ing, Jaboriug, throbbing heart of the Northwest.
Let the Legislature of Alabama sue to it, that
what Calhoun saw in his old age, and what Alex.
Stephens saw in his youth—tlmt wealth, entcr-
prise, State stability and State independence,
must draw their sinews from tiie great West-
may be made the purpose of Alabama.

According to late advices, tlie difficulties on
tlie plantations nre being renewed- The Sa
vannah lie-publican of tlie 20th, says :
It would seem that this dangerous fellow is still
engaged iu sowing the seeds of what nuiy yet
prove to bo a serious disturbance.
Captain Brandt yesterday afternoon telegraph
ed General Scott that by tlie renewed advice of
the notorious Bradley, 'tlie colored people who
agreed to leave the Delta and other plantations,
and did depart therefrom last week, returned in
largo numbers yesterday aud took possession of
the islands, crossing Hie river in llats, laden with
furniture and other effects. The planters, who
find themselves dispossessed of llieir lands, re
quests tiie promised aid ol General Scott, nnd a
large number of them arrived in our city last eve
ning to consult and take advice ns to tlie best
plan to be adopted to secure the control of their
plantations.
l'he freedmen have returned to Captain Mnni-
gault’s plantation, and have occupied the quar
ters, driving the people out who Were entitled to
remain.
Captain Brandt informs us Hint Bradley’s mis
representations to the colored people have com
plete disarranged the labor system in his district,
iiuil created a feeling oi distrust and uneasiness

Bradley’s tuitions one dollar petitions will have

Murder at Memphis,
20th says;
One of the most unprovoked and brutal mur
ders which we have el' late been called upon to
chronicle, occurred in Chelsea at an early hour
Sunday morning last. It seems that white Mr
Frank Murphy and his lirother-in law, Mi. .1. R.
Grant, were quietly proceeding home, in Chelsea!
at an early hour, they were met by a couple of
negroes who stumbled up against them, and
accompanied their action with a volume of the
most profane and insulting epithets. The evi
dence taken bcloro the Coroner's jury, and given
by Silas Payne, the companion ol the murderer
—Joe White—shows tlmt there was no exchange
of abuse; but tlmt White, immediately alier jost
ling against Mr. Murphy, and indulging in his
invectives, pulled his pistol and tired, the hall
taking effect in Murphy’s right breast, and pro-
dueing death in about eighteen hours afterwards.
1 lie evidence also shows that immediately alier
tlie tiring, White ran and attempted to effect his
escape. When iie was arrested lie asserted that
he had made up his mind to kill a white man
and he did it.
Steamer Burned by Freedmen.—Tlio Sa
vannah New* <£• Herald of the :40th contains tlie
following account of the burning of tlie steamer
Gen. Sheploy;
| We learn that on Monday night last the stea
mer Gen. Bheplcy was burned at a dock on
Ossabaw, where she was taking ou cotton ami
planters supplies.
She left here on Saturday morning to take
away cotton and material belonging to Cant
Flv, a Northern man, planting there.
While off from tlie landing, she was set ou
fire aft and completely burned. Capt. Rosse
commander of the steamer, and lady and Cant'
Fly and lady, with the ship's crew, barely Is-
eaped, being rescued by Hie steamer II M
Cool.
Tlie lioat was, we understand, not insured
She was consigned to C. L. Colby & Co., who
we are informed, were partial owners'. ' ’
The incendiarism, we are assured, is attributed
to freedmen, who, misguided by fanatics, had been
led to believe that the steamer was designed for
kidnapping purposes, with a Cuban or similar
destination.
Tennessee.—Tlio Tennessee Legislature is
enguged just now in trying to impeach Hie Hon.
Thomas N. Frazier, one of the Judges of that
State, for the high crime of having discharged
his duty iu a certain case in compliance witli
law, and the obligations of his oaUi of office.—
Judge Frazier is one of the best aud purest men
in Tennessee, and whatever else tlie radical ma
jority may effect, all its efforts to sully his repu
tatiou and damage him in the esUmation of right
thinking nun, will prove tyuitlees.
The Destruction of Landmark*.
The Nation, one of the ablest weekly jour
nals now in course of publication, is throughly
Radical on the slavery question aud the question
of “races,” but its feet are sliil planted on the
earth—it has not been lifted by the swelling
stream of party feeling entirely from the funnil:”-
lion, so as to he swept along at tlie mercy of
tlie current on which the “majority" party are
now riding. Lit an article upon the suspension
of tlie habeas corpus it makes these remarks, viz:
The Supreme Court re-usserts solemnly the
jurisdiction of Congress over personal liberty,
and denies tlie right of the Executive to touch’
it arbitrarily, and forthwith some of the very
men who were most frantic last summer in ex
alting the Legislature and denouncing the Pres
idents usurpation begin to talk of “impeaching"
Hie Judges lor doing what they were bound fti
do, hotore God and man, come what might.
We have commented elsewhere on the conduct
ot the Court in embarking in a discussion on
points which came in no way before it. But we
hope tins whole matter, grave and important as
it is, will open the eyes of the public to the
great danger there is that the breaches of law
and ol propriety into which over-zeal on behalf
ol lhe right now carries us may he one day
used against us in defense of the wroiy. It is
not very long since there was a majority in the
United Stales ou the side of wickedness, and
we may all live to see it again; if we should
ive may have sore need for our own protection
ot all tho forms and traditions of the law ami
the Constitution.

stock (ramblers—How Panics are Mu<le.
Tiie Boston Journals New York correspond
ent writes:
One of the most villainous attempts to create
a panic came to light on Thursday afternoon.—
Three men in this city, whose names are now
well known, who have hitherto stood high iu
connection with mercantile affairs in tins city,
engineered a scheme through that had for its
Mm Ihe depreciation of Government and bank
stocks, and but lor its timely discovery, would
have ruined a large class of men.
Having sold short, they designed to depress
stocks, tlmt they might buy lew, aud having an
swered llieir ends, they intended to hull tlie mar
ket and make a fortune. They drew checks to
the amount of live millions, and Imd them cer
tified in ihe different banks. Of course these
live millions having been certified, could uot be
loaned by the Imnks. Instead of depositing these
checks as cosh, they took them to private bank
ers and obtained on them five millions more,
which cheeks were also certified. Thus they
took out in one hour ten millions from the circu
lation. One of these managers called in a mil
lion tlmt was out on loan, and others did tlio
same.
By the same parties messengers were sent to
(til Hi® banks early on Thursday morning, warn
ing them against loaning any money. They ad
vised the calling in ol all the loans, and announc
ed that there was to be a terrible panic Hint
would sweep everything away. Tlie Imnks lent
themselves to this vile scheme, though they did
it ignorantly. These four men took out of pub
lic circulation in one day, the tremendous sum
of tour or live million. The scheme was expos*
eel in the clearing house. One bank found lo its
credit three millions, when it expected nothing
I Ins led to an investigation, and tlio bank found
tnat tlio certified cheeks drawn by certain par
ties Imd not been used. An exposure at once
tool; place, and the panic was averted.

Ii.vly. Sig. Sccalaga had made his financial
statements to the Chainlier ot Deputies. The
total deficit tor tlie present year amounts to
185.000. 000 livres. Of this he proposes to lower
85.000. 000 livres by various financial reforms.
Ihe remaining one hundred millions must he
made up by extraordinary means. The lmm is
impossible, under present circumstances. There
fore, the State must have recourse to Ecclesiasti
cal property, which it proposes to tax, to the
amount of 600,000,000 livres, which will cover
the annual deficit until 1880, when the budget
will lie in equilibrium.

would bless the President’s righteous efforts to
bring peace to the country.
