URGENT CUM I I.ATIOI.

BUK.
Thi>r(> were in our oily six regular cot
tou warehouses, of large iliiiiensions, well
Illicit, and all doing a heavy burinosß lie
fore the war Columbus was tbo ship
ping point not only for tbo counties of
Western Georgia, but also for the greater
part of Kastorn Alabama. Indeed nearly
thriio fouribs of the cotton brought here
for storage, sale, or shipment was brought
from the Alabama side of the river. To
meet the increased demand for storage,
during the war, livery stables and pri
vate out houses were couveried into ware
bouses aud store rooms. The raid
upon ibe oily by Gou. Wilson in April
lasi, resulted in the complete destruoiion
of all the cotton stored here, except what
wa- in one warehouse (formerly a livery
stable) and a few bales which had been
concealed in private houves. Since the
close of the war, trude has revived to a
degree beyond the expectations of the
most sanguine. New warehouses are
being built upon the sites of the old ones;
and stables, stole houses, aod other
buildings have been oonverted into ware
houses in order to meet the demands of
the trade
Very recently however, a Revenue Col
lector, appointed by and acting uuder
authority ot the Collector of the Internal
Revenue for the State of Alabama, has
been stationed at the bridge, and refuses
to let any cotton cross the river until the
tax shall be prepaid. Unable to make
this heavy advance upon their products
before a sale iB effected, and unable also
to get storage in Girard, the planters in
Eastern Alabama, who have heretofore
found Columbus the most convenient
shipping point, if not the most aooussiblo
market, are sending their cotton to Eu
faula anil Montgomery and to other points
within that State to the groat detriment,
not only of their own interests but to the
ooumoroial prosperity and growth of our
oily also. Already is this uew arrange
ment beginning to tell upon every depart
ment of business; end should it be oon
tinued, will cause a decline in the value
of city propel ty which will astonish the
most sagacious of our property holders.
Every department of business and indus
try will feel it, and seriously suffer fiom it.
It is theroforo important that some
plan be dovised aud adopted whereby
this difficulty may be obviated. The
Alabama offiour is acting under authority
of law, aod his salary depends upou the
amount ot tax he oolleots. He is there
fore guilty of no usurpation, whilst he is
personally interested in the paymeut of
lax ou the Alabama side of the river. It
is dear howevor, that the receipts of the
United Elates Treasury would not be ef
fected by an arrangement under which
the tax might be collected in Columbus,
wbon the ootton is either sold or shipped
to other markets.
It is therefore a question of interest
between a whole community in both
States on the one hand, and a single in
dividual on the other.
It is a well known principle of political
economy that the personal interests ot the
individual must yield to the interests ot
the community in all oases where the
two oome into contiiot. Taking this
view of the subjeot—and which is un
doubtedly tne correot one—it seems to us
that an arrangement might be etfeeted
with luo Secretary of the Treasury where
by planters may store their cotton in
Columbus and pay the prescribed tax to
Mr. deques, the Revenue collector in this
city. Or perhaps an arrangement might
bo etl'eoted between the two Revenue Col
lectors that would obviate the difficulty
without proving detrimental to the per
sonal interests of either, or to the Govern
ment.
Tho Enquirer of the Bth, in an editorial
article on the Connecticut elections, made
the charge by implication that there are
“a few men of ihe South” who believe
and so teach that this is not a white man's
government, and that the Southern negro
should ü be invested with the peculiar
rights of citizenship. Tho charge was
general, t aud beare equally upon every
man “ of the South, ” since no partioular
man or party of men “of the South, ”
were specified.
Relieving the imputation to be wholly
without foundation in truth, we felt that
it was duo tho character of our people
abroad that the Enquirer should either
make its obarges specific aud tangible, or
else withdraw them altogether. In its
issue of the 11th, it refuses to do either,
and says : “We will consult our inclina
tions and take our own time about speci
fying tho parties to whom we referred. ”
That is to say a public journalist may
make grave imputations against a com
munity before waom he appears for favor,
and when'oalled upon for specifications
as to parlies, or a disclaimer as to the
charges, refuse to do either. An intelligent
public will form their own estimate of
such imputations, and of the animus
which usually pr ompts them.
If there be any man or party of men
“of the South" who want to see Georgia
turned into a negro colony, or who advo
cate the recognition of citizens' peculiar
rights for the negro, we have never heard
of them ; and we shall take the liberty to
doubt the correctness of the Enquirer’s
imputation? until its “own time’’, shall
arise for substantiating its charges by
the proper specifications and evidence.
But the Enquirer adds: “ This paper
(the Enquirer) has been openly denounced
for no( advooating
aens or lrecmeu’s peculiar rights to the
negro, and that by men of the South. ’’
Then there are “ men of tho South ”
who not only advocate the exten
sion of suffrage and all other peculiar
rights of the citizen to the negro, hut who
bare “ openly denounced ” a newspaper
of Columbus for not advocating the same
thing. All this is true, and yet the paper
so “ denounced ” refuses to disclose tho
parties to its doniinoialion. All this has
transpired “ openly, ” and yet no one
seems to have observed the fad but the
Enquirer.
Ulalio|> Soul*.
On the 7th in the Teonesseo Confer
ence, now assembled in Nashville, the
venerable Bishop Soule was introduced to
the Conference, but was so feeble he could
only tell the Conference he was glad to
see them. After be took his seat the
Conference took reoess, and all tho mem
bers pressed around him and gave him a
heariy shake of the hand, many feeling,
no doubt, that it was the last time this
side the grave. Bishop E. has been an
itinerant Methodist minister nearly 60
yeara, aod more than 41 a Bishop. There
is but one—perhaps none—who were
traveling preachers when he began.

an experiment, but the settled oourse
whioh he has determined to oarry out with

liiilalmtitiuf (lit Radical*.
[From the New York Tribune, Oct. 3]
The Republicans could, if they had
chosen, have gtveu the right of suffrage
to the blacks ia spite of the whole Cop
perhead vote in the State. Not to do so
was to add so much moral strength to the
Copperhead party, and to weaken their own.
The act makes the road before ua to
complete peace and the restoration of the
Union more diffioult. That heretofore
2.000 men in a voting population of 75,-
000 were diafranoh tsed in Connecticut,
though a very . Duse wrong and a signal
outrage, was a matter of comparatively
small practical importance. But that
such an evil example should be followed
aud sustained by the moral influence of
Connecticut in depriving 800,000 loyal men
of the South of the right to vote is a fact,
tbe practical importance of which cannot
yet be calculated.
THE BLOW FELT IN ANOTHER qUARIER.
]From the New York Times, Oct. 3 L
Intrinsically, the eleotion is of little
consequence, einoa (here are but few col
ored men in the State ; but just at this
juncture, when the same question is para
mount in the Southern States, this verdict
is pregnant with importance.
REASON FOR DEMOCRATIC REJOICING.
[From tho New Uaveu Journal (Hrpublican) Oct 3.]
It ia needless to say that we are greatly
disappointed. The telegraph, as it clicks
out the vote of Connecticut, will arouse in
many a loyal heart contempt lor tbe State
whose voters are still too eowardly, too
blind, of too prejudiced to grant simple
justice to the black. Copperheads will go
into testacies of rejoicing, and well they
may! A New England State, in spite of
her honorable record for the past ten
years, has oast such a vote kb would
disgrace Virginia, and would do no credit
eveu to the whitewashed rebels of South
Carolina.
THE SOLDIEBS’S VOTE.
I From the Hartford Times.]
A Temarkable and significant feature of
the election on Monday was the unanimi
ty of the soldiers’ vote. The returned
veterans of the war, bronzed in years ot
toilsome marches and scarred in battles,
voted very nearly unanimously against the
proposition for negro suffrage.
HOW THE PEOPLE VOTED.
[From the Hartford Times.]
Hartford and New Haven roll up a ma
jority of one thousand five hundred
against the proposition for negro voting.
And Greenwich—wbeve the radicals made
a “martyr” case out of a negro who
married a white woman—rolls up lour
huneied and nineteen majority against
the miscagenaiionists.
THE TOWN ELECTIONS —DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
[From th* New Haven Register.]
