THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 1».
The Colton Tax and Cotton Culture.
The action of Congress has confirmed
our opinion expressed some time since
to the effect that no part of the tax al¬
ready collected would be refunded.
Governments never disgorge plunder,
except in the last extremity, and the
one that now oppresses us is no excep
tion to the rule. Those, therefore, who
have held back with the hope of a bet¬
ter market, are doomed to disappoint
meat. Iudeed, the agitation of this
subject has been an immediate disad
vantage to the cotton planter, for the
reason that foreign markets have been
depressed In anticipation of the remo¬
val of the tax. From present indica¬
tions, it is probable that a bill will pass
remitting the tax only upon the crop of
1868. Even this act of long delayed
justice, we fear will be attended with
dangerous consequences to the South¬
ern people. We apprehend that there
are still many planters who will con¬
vince themselves that with this certain
margin aud the fluctuations which are
liable at any moment to affect the cot
ion markets of the world, they may be
able by large planting to make up lor
the losses and disasleis of the past two
years. If there be such, they are hug¬
ging to their bosoms a hope which can
but eventuate in their certain and com
plate financial destruction. Extensive
cotton planting, with nigger politicians
to do the requisite labor, cannot longer
be indulged in with safety in this sec
! ion. Such a provision crop as labor
may be secured to cultivate and to
gather, und a small amount of cotton
beyond, is the only hope for the South¬
ern planter.
And there arc political considerations
connected with this subject, equal in
gravity aud importance to those of a
financial character. It may be liuth-
1 ally said that every ear of corn made
in the South neutralizes a radical vote
at the North, while every pound of cot
:on but lends its aid to delay the day
,jf our deliverance.
The Secretary of the Treasury of the
United Stales thoroughly understands
the importance of this question. Since
the close of the war lie has as olten as
came within the scope of his duties im¬
portuned Congress not to ruin the agri¬
cultural system of the South, and has
earnestly urged that body to hasten up
the work of reconstruction. With no
time to think of anything hut the nig¬
ger, and with no care for anything be¬
yond the securing ot party a»cendaucy
during the next Presidential term, Con¬
gress hus turned a deaf oar to the purse
bearer of tiro nation, and has gono for
,vurd to elevate a barbarian at the ex¬
pense of every other interest of the
country. Agaiu, in his latest report,
Mr- McCulloch sounds another note of
warning in the following language.
He says :
“The great Maples of the South have
for mauy years constituted a large por¬
tion of our exports. But for the cation
held in that section at the close of the re¬
bellion, the foreign exchanges would have
been so largely against the United States
that a commercial revulsion would have
been imminent, if not unavoidable. Even
in the deplorable condition of these States,
last year more than tieo thirds of our ex¬
ports consisted of their productions, and
it is the crop of the present year—small
though it may be—that is to save us from
ruinous indebtedness to Europe. It is
of the greatest moment, therefore, that
the productive power of the Southern
States should he restored ns rapidly as
possible.”
That tells the whole truth. The
South borne down by taxes, oppressed
and worried iu every conceivable way,
has saved the country from financial
rtuu. And in return for this invaluable
service, the country iu turn, or rather
those who assume to represent its sen¬
timent, have hopelessly bankrupted the
South. The dependence of the finances
of the country upon the cotton crop of
the South lias not been removed, but
has really been increased by tbe reck¬
less extravagance aud profligacy of tbe
party in power. Tho Southern planters
new hold, as they have held since the
close of tho war, the key lo tho situa¬
tion. Had they abstained from largo
aud ruiuous speculative experiments in
cotton planting during the past two
years every State of the South would
now have been in its place in tbe Un¬
ion. If they will abstain for the future,
they will do more to settle the troubles
which afflict tho country, than all the
politicians from one end of the Union
to the other, combined. If the Secre
reiary of the Treasury speaks the truth,
i of which we do not entertain a doubt)
cotton, the poor despised, dethroned
monarch, has yet enough of the prero¬
gatives of royalty about him ;o bid this
strife to cease, and to find that his man¬
date is obeyed.
We conjure then those who should
have learned wisdom from adversity,
to profit now by the necessities of those
by whom they have been oppressed and
ruined. If every cotton .seed iu the
South had been burned at the surren¬
der, the North would ere this have beg¬
ged the South to be rehabilitated. But
let the thousand acre fields of the last
and present years, dwindle to patches
in the next, and radicals, white and
black, will be brought to terms. Gold
and not nigger suffrage is the life of the
nation. In the coming twelve months
the cotton planters of the South can, if
they will, give more shape and direction
to the public policy thua the reputation
of Grant, the diplomacy of Chase, or
the mad measures of a Rump of fanati¬
cal Jacobins.
Ox the Rampage. — Wendell Fhu.
ips has iiad His bile stirred up by vrbat
he terms the cowardice of Congress in
failing to impeach the President. In &
letter for which we have no room he
abuses the Rump roundly and concludes
as follows :
It is sufficient to remember that to
the expect Republican high constitutional courage of
surd party would be as ab¬
skimmed as to try to “move a dish of
milk with an honorable ac¬
tion.”
Proceedings of the Georgia Cncon

SEVENTH day.
(Reported Xur the Atlanta Intelligencer.]
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 17, 1867.
The Convention met pursuant to ad¬
journment. yesterday read
The journal of was
and approved. Waddell offered resolution
J. D. Hon. a Joshua
tendering a seat to the
Hill, during his stay in the city.
II. K. McCoy, chairman ot the spe
cial committee of ten, appointed to in¬
quire as to the Legislative (rower of tbu
Convention, reported as follows:
“All ordinances or other matter of a
Legislative character already introdu¬
ced and pending, are hereby indefinite¬
ly postponed, and in future no ordinance
or other matter of said character, not
necessarily connected with the funda¬
mental law, shall he entertained by the
Convention. Provided, that the fore¬
going shall not apply to matter touch¬
ing the general relief of the people of
the Slate.”
C. C. Richardson moved to postpone
the consideration of this report until 10
a. tn. to-morrow.
II. M. Turner, negro, thought, it an
important measure, and moved to have
200 copies printed. printing
W. II. Whitely opposed and
favored adoption of report.
T. P. Saffuld said, the Con vention had
assembled to form organic laws for the
Slate—It was not called to legislate—he
hoped the Convention would keep in
view that fact, and adopt the report.
J. L. Dunning objected to printing,
which would produce unnecessary dis¬
cussion; he favored the report, because
irrelevant matter should be ruled out.
J. E. Bryant moved to amend by
striking out printing. Carried.
J. E. Biouut said postponement, of the
question would cost the State $20,000,
and asked if delegates were willing to
face coustltucnts they had thus taxed.
The question of postponement was
submitted; the sound being doubtful,
the yeas and nays were ordered. The
Secretary proceeding with the call,
Aaron Alpeorla Bradley (negro) lfe rose |
to a point of order, and said was of |
opinion that the yeas and nays could !
not be called alter the sound had been
taken—the point was not sustained.
The Secretary proceeded with the
call, and again Aaron Alpeorla Bradley
(negro) rose to inquire the eflect of vo¬
ting “yes.”
L. M. Trammell rose to a point of or¬
der; no delegate could interrupt the call
except upon the sound of his name.—
The President explained, and Bradley
sat down.
II. M. Turner (negro) asked for an
explanation of the question. The Pres¬
ident explained.
J. L. Dunning rose to a question of
privilege; stated that ho did not under¬
stand the questiou at first as explained
by the chair, and asked permission to
change his vote.
Motion to postpone was lost—yeas 78,
nays 75.
Aaron Alpeona Bradley (negro) said
he was really sorry of the necessity lor
rising again, but he must make a mo¬
tion to lay the report on the table; its
consideration now would be violative of
a rule, requiring all matter to lie on the.
table one day. The motion to “lay on
the table” was lost—yeas 75, nays 78.
C. C. Richardson moved for a divis¬
ion of the question. Decided not in
order, and L. N. Trammell called for
the previous question. The call was
sustained aud the report adopted.
W. W. Whitehead, of Butts, intro
dueod a resolution in regard lo dele¬
gates holding seats contested, which
was referred to Committee on Elec
tious.
The regular order was introduction taken up ami
tlio roll called for tlio of
new matter. Several ordinances, &c.,
were introduced in regard t:> Provis¬ relief,
privileges, franchise, and the
ional Government of Georgia.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley (negro) in¬
troduced an ordinance to prevent dis¬
crimination by common carriers on ac¬
count of color.
B. H. Whitely said the ordinance was

in order.
G. P. Burnett introduced a resolution
declaring that this has been, is, and
should be a whito man’s government.
[Applause and excitement. It was a
bomb shell ]
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley (negro) said
that this resolution was violative of the
Civil Right’s Bill and the Constitution¬
al Amendment; it was applauded, but
the applause camo from those Government, who had
sought to break up the
and that Its entertainment would be an
insult to the powers that be.
C. C. Richardson rose to a point of
order.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley (negro) said
that he was making a point, aud that
two points could not bo made at tho
same time, and continued to speak.
C. C. Richardson moved to suspend
the rule, that the resolution might be
expunged from the Journal of the Con¬
vention.
L. M. Trammell regretted that the
question involved should have boen
sprung, and asked C. C. Richardson to
withdraw his motion, that the resolution
might take its regular course, and be
referred to the appropriate committee.
C. C. Richardson said he did not in¬
troduce the resolution, but that he warn¬
ed to vote upon it—‘‘not that ho loved
the white less, but because he loved the
image of his God more.”
II. M. Turner (negro) wanted to vote
upon the question and called for the
yeas and nays.
T. G. Campbell (negro) wanted the
Convention to show to the world its
condemnation of such measures.
G. F. Burnett said he would with¬
draw the resolution.
H. M. Turner (negro) said the reso¬
lution could not be withdrawn.
J. L. Dunning 6atd it could not be
withdrawn.
H. K. McCoy thought it could and so
the President decided.
J. H. Caldwell offered the following :
“We the representatives of the peo¬
ple of Georgia, assembled in Conven¬
tion under the authority of the Congress
of the United States, with a desire to
restore loyalty, harmony and tranquili¬
ty among the people, aud to Secure for
our State her proper place in the Union
by representation in Congress ; respect¬
fully represent to the General Com¬
manding this District, that to insure
these great blessings for ourselves and
our posterity, it is essential that tbe
officials who exercise the civil functions
of the Provisional Government of the
State of Georgia as recognized by Con¬
gress, shall be loyal to the United States,
and acceptable to the majority of the
people of ihe State.
We, the representatives oJ that ma- I
jority, are now striving to overcome j
the obstacle in the path to restoration to
civil law, and, therefore respectfully 1
petition the General commanding this
District, that a Provisional Governor be
appointed who will assist in this great i 1
work, and do recommend for that ap-
pointment the Hon. R. B. BulJoch, of
Richmond county.” asked the special
J. H. Caldwell at¬
tention of reporters and delegates. lie
considered the resolution important, but
extreme. He was not an extreme
man ; would punish no one, but was
to see Georgia restored. He
favored every measure proposed
reconstruction since June, 1865, to
present hour. He loved Georgia,
rocks, her hills, her valleys, and her
he loved them all, and it
was for Georgia’s interest he desired to
some man Provisional Governor of
Georgia not opposed to reconstruction.
He respected Governor Jenkins, who
had been uniformly courteous toward
him, but it was important to have a
Governor favorable to reconstruction.
A. Akerman greatly regretted that
such a resolution had been introduced.
It sprung inquiries too suddenly. Its
passage would be an unnecessary inter
Terence with the rights and privileges
of Gen. Pope, who, he had no doubt,
was watchful of the Provisional Gov¬
ernor’s administration. He had listen¬
ed to the speech favoring the resolution,
but had not heard a single argument.
He called for the indictment against
Gov. Jenkins: tairness required that
charges should be preferred before right re¬
moval was made ; it was a to
which friend and foe are entitle'd. He
said that a remoyal would derange the
whole civil government, and it would
be better; as it was only fora short
time, to allow Gov. Jenkins to remain
in office. He also objected to the per
son named in the resolution, who was
unknown to the people as a statesman, opinion
and that a due regard to public
was necessary. He would make no
charge, yet it was reported that a com
bination had been formed to secure
office, and that the passage of this reso¬
lution would be n demonstration ol it.
To illustrate purity of purpose, required
disinterested action.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley (negro) fol¬
lowed ; but the hour tor adjournment
havhu; arrived, the President so an¬
nounced, and declared the Convention
adjourned till 10 o’clock to morrow.
