ruled, and trade of all kiude ia necessa
rily stagnant. Large and tempting
stocks of good* are displayed upon the
shelve* of merchants, but there are no
buyers—there is no money to buy with,
and a wholesale credit system will not
pay rents, payable in gold and fulling
due quarterly; it will not par taxes; it
will not meet all the demands exacted
of merchants, mechanics, and others.
ts there were increased facilities for
obtaining monoj—if people could effect
loans at reasonable rates, there would,
undoubtedly, be a very different state of
things, a healthy reaction resulting in
the speedy renewal of trade, and the
general advancement of prosperity, dint
the facilities for obtaining money in this
section of the State are exceedingly
limited. Previous to the war we had in
the City of Augusta a banking capital of
about six millions of dollars. Now we
have but one bank, with a capital qt
only half a million ! What is the result?
Loans can be effected at rates which
only tho most imperative necessity will
warrant. How can the man of small
means thrive, if he has to pay 2J per
cent, per month for money ? W hy, the
man of large capital would soon be
ruined at that rate; ami yet this rate
has to be pnid, and we have heard of
loans effected upon short time, iu private
quarters, at even higher rates than these!
Previous to tho war money was easy at
7 per cent, per annum. Observe the
difference now.
What is the remedy for this state of
affairs? One plan has been suggested
to us, of which we have formed a favor
able opinion, and that is to invite North
ern capitalists to establish more Nation
al Banks in this community, and,
indeed, in other communities where the
same necessity exists. Two or three of
these institutions in onr midst with a
capital of, say two million dollars, would
necessarily reduce the rates of interest
to such an extent as would relieve the
monetary wants of the community, and
yet leave a large profit ou the capital
thus invested. The only question is, is
it practicable? We can sec no obstacle
in the way, if the capitalists of tho North
feel disposed to move in the premises.
They need not fear the investment.
There is certainly room for them, and a
good field for business and profit. They
will not only aid the people of this sec
tion. but add to their own interests. It
is absolutely essential that relief of some
kind shonld be afforded, and we 0411 see
no better way than the plan proposed.
If those most interested in the question
would take the proper steps, they might
induce the capitalists of the North to
come here, and despite their natural
temerity and the evil foreboding for the
political future of the country, establish
the proposed banks, and, thus while
benefitting our people secure their own
advantage.
The Constitutional Amendment.
We have already given our views of
this subject, as well as those of some
other journals, and of leading men of
the. South. It ia very evident that the
measure can never be popular with the
Sonth; for the reason that the Southern
people look upon it as a cheat, and its
adoption as dishonorable an 3 humilia
ting. The Democratic pres3 of the
North takes pretty much the same view
of it. Wo have already given extracts
from the New York World and the Lou
isville (Ky.) Journal, advising the South
uot to adopt it. We add now the follow
ing from the Fonda (New York) Mo
hawk Valley Democrat , of October 10 :
Thk Radical Ciibat.—Many Repub
licans, and organs, are proclaiming as
the “Union Republican Platform,” the
Constitutional Amendment proposed by
Congress, and insists that it is just.
There never was a greater cheat sought
to -be imposed upon the American peo
ple.
Th c first section relates to the rights
of citizenship, and contains general pro
positions quite unnecessary to be embo
died in the Constitution, because rights
are already sufficiently secured; and
the evident intention is to make it the
pretext to interfere by Congress with
the rights of the States.
The second section proposes to change
the basis ol ropresenlatiou, so as to com
pel tlie Southern States to give sufl'rago
to blacks. Now conceding for the sake
of the argument, ia in itself just and
conceding too ftHough it is not true),
that Congress has the right to impose
conditions upon the States iu question,
yet the Radicals have made it certain
that it cannot he mlpoted, because they
have joiued it with unother section
which disfranchises one-half or two thirds
ol t(ho Southern iteople. These sections
must be adopted together or not at all.
This shows that the object was to keep
the-Bouth out till after the next Presi
dential election.
A bill was introduced by a Republi
can, providing fur lliu admission of the
Southern Representatives when these
amendments should be adopted, but this
was voted, down. They say to the South
in substance, you must adopt these
amendments, but when you do it we will
not admit you 1 You must eat this hutch
of dirt, aud wheu you get that down wo
have another batch ready for yon 1
Accordingly, the Independent, the
leading Radical organ, speaking of sec
tion two says;
“No leading Republican iu Cougress
means to admit the ten whiting States
simply on the adoption of that amend
ment."
The Radical Republicans arc, there
fore, disutiiotiisls, and their pretence
lIIM I*?** u| h might lotto* to by adopts,
Ing these amendments, is * mere cheat.
They are treating tho South us the' old

Fueling in the South.
The Augusta correspondent of the
Newport 7’*a»Vlu the following letter
gives a very fair and interesting state
ment ol theTecTingln” ITie Soufh Tn""r~
jgnrd to tho adoption of thtfConstilution
al Amendment.
At.’oust a, Ua., Friday, Oct. 21, 18(36.-
The teltgraphio.uuws bf -the October
election* has nos t*nd*d to cheer or en
courage the anxious.nml Acjily'jntcr
icsled, people of the South. 1 It is not yet
(lcliurtcly k noit» to what extent - the
Radicals have triumphed, or whether

Ikfljto the cause of Tbad. Btovensisni;
but enough is already ascertained; to
strengthen tho feqre whioti have been
felt for sometime thpt “the South Ims
not yet seen her darkest hours.’’ If (lie
bite of those who have figured most
prominently in the recant canvastson the
Radical sitfe is equttfiq their bark, these
fears are fob Well gnullified. If half
Which they threaten is- carried out, or
even attempted, the ruin which now cov
ers the land will seem prosperity coin
pared with that which Radicalism WilJ
work. And will the. South be tho qnl/
sufferer 1 Wjll. no* Bankruptcy, ufcsdla
tion, smothered enterprise and buried in
dustry at the South be fell ut the North?
Has the North gaitied anything by the
Radical effort for the last fifteen months
to dissolve the Union by legislation,
after four years of war had been spent
in preserving it ? , - •
The articles iu the Times in favor of
the adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment, and ■ recommending the
Southern States especially to ratify it,
have been very generally lead, and with
the ros'pcctfui consideration due to , the
utterances of a journal which has so
ably advocated Southern rights, and so
boldly opposed the unjust course.of the
Radicals. I have conversed -with many
men of influence and intelligence on the
subject of the Amendment and the views
of the Times, and I have invariably
found the same arguments used by al!
with whom I have spoken. They main
tain, first, that it is a monstrous wrong,
and a subversion of every principle of
the Constitution and of tree government
to insist ou their adopting a fundamental
luw in tlie framing of which they had no
part, audio, the jsrnimge of. Which they
had no voice. They are required, as
separate States of the Union, to sanction
an enactment from the .consideration of
which they were excluded on the theory
that they were not Slates in the Union,
but conqiler'ei Secondly,
they lire stretluously, I may say bitterly,
opposed to the third section of the
Amendment, which provides that every
citizen of every Southern. State, who.
ever held a Federal Or State office befoie
the war, and who took any part in the
rebellion, shall be forever disqualified to
hold any Federal or State office, unless
he be pardoned by a two thirds vote of
Congress.
There are various reasons why this
section is so universally opposed. Men
who are not affected by it, but who, like
the rest, voluntarily participated in the
rebellion, refuse to tTnkc part lit the po
litical outlawry of their more promifmnt
follow-citizens, whose fault is not greater
than their own, hut whose case is made
exceptional because they served the
people iu offices to which the people
elected them. This feeling is very
stroug, and may be said to be unani
mous ; for, however Mr. Morse, late of
Bridgeport, Conn,, and pow “of Geor
gia,” tiKiy any to the contrary, ninety
nine hundredths of tho population parti
cipated, directly or indirectly, in the
rebellion, and gave aid and comfort to
the enemies of the United States. But
apart from this, the adoption of the
Amendment would vacate every civil,
iniTTC&ry ah(T"Ju3icml office in tho State
—from Governor to Justice of the Peace
—from Senator to Town Councilman.
And Where, the people ask, could they
find men of ability, experience, and
character to fill the vacant offices? It
i3 the Test Oath enlarged on a gigantic
scale, and w<fh!d result in a suspension
of government, unless the people im
ported officials, or elected Morse or Bry
ant, In discussing, this portion of the
subject, the names of all the prominent
men iu various counties were mentioned
asAhesurof which thepeoplc Won I'd think
were they called on to elect State officers,
and there was not one named who would’
be eligible under this section of the
Amendment. Again, my attention was
( ailed to the fact, that the State officials
have received ami. now J-.oid the Presi
dent's warrant of pardon. Are they, 1
was asked, tp be dispoeaossed of their
offices, and tuo Executive pardon an
nulled ?
It was remarked not long ago, the
“loyal 1 ' men in the South. (in this Slate,
at ail events,) what ver their merits or
claims to the sympathy of the North, are
very few in number, not fortunate
enough to possess any j art of the popu
lar and therefore ought, nyt,
td expect tlntt soclety'aml.govern luent
roust lie overturned in order to give
them the substantial rewards ofollice fqr
their pretended opposition to (ho defeat
ed cause. Look at the names of the
delegates to the Philadelphia Convention
of September 3. Would any honest
Northern man who is nnialluoticed by
passion desire to see Gov. Jenkins thrust
out of the Executive Chair to make room
fur Mr. Ashburn, or see the venerable
Chief-Justice Lumpkin compelled to de
scend from the bench to give place to
Mr. Spencer oy Mr. Austell 7
It is not astonishing that at lli-i Nnr.lt
while the angry. feelings which were
caused by the war. still endure, tin rc
should boa desire to exclndo from pub
lic office 'those who took a prominent
partin the rebeljiyp..
nifcn expect this, and regard it as a uat
urul result of defeat, which time and
cooler judgment will modify. But they,
do regard it-as hard that they should he
required not merely to submit to it as a
part of their punishment, but to exercise
the only independence which they are
allowed to possess iu inaking ii a pprt of
the organic law. . , ,
On th# question of a , change in the
basis of representation, substituting
voters for population, there is far lest
feeling exhibited, and the 'opposition to
this part of the Amendment is much
morn moderate. , Wore-it tpade certain
that by thy adoption of this portion. ol
the proponed ln,w the States Jvoqlrt he at
once restored lb the poSse.;siou of their
rights and legitimate position in Bin
Union, I have not a doubt that many
would ho in favov ol the change, and
would bd willing even to go further, and
grant the suffrage t* ull men, irrespec
tive of race or color, who possess a ccr*
min property qualification. But as it is,
with all thu leading Radicals, in and
out ol Congress, emphatically declaring
that thc.aJoptionof the. Amendment will
nut mih! ih* tlui ix*
eluded States, all arguments of ex
pediency and conciliation fail to produce
anv effect.
With a caudor and boldness which
half redeem their creel injustice, Mr.
t;. voi| i and South
ern States tht|Jf short of th| dun

reliable gu-.traaleu; for lift' filters, the
property ot nineteen-twentieths of the
di'vfd’ed atndnir'the iicgro'cs and ” loyal
(whites” of the class of Baylor, Morse and
Austell. It cannot be expected that the
Com Motional Amendment has any in
herent attractions for the Southern peo
ple. All its advantages are extrinsic.
It can only be recottlTTrendcd to them as
a means to an end, and the moment
they arc told,that,U yvk 11 not ation that
fend, it becomes at otic-e obhoxious, and
meets with general opposition. Asa

homage Ad tee Jl iforil wo'?shipt , rs'*af the'
East, who bow down before tho Spirit of
Evil in the hope of, him, no
advocate of the Aifiendment' can make
any headway. Tqe fact is, tlie pimple
a-s a masMtmy that,they are no kpiger
prilling to try to purchase Radical clem
fency, because they have found that at
eaen instnllmenl they have paid, the
Radicals have advanced the price, and
lefusyd to give, .credit for tho past pay
fneiits. They have endeavored to
prove the sincerity of their renewed fe
ality to the Constitution and the laws,
And of their acceptance of the adverse
judgment which has been rendered at
(he trial of arms. Instead of favor and
Confidence they have only .received more
violent nbw,Snore vehement denuncia
tion, and uipye threats of intensified
punishment. They are, therefore, un
willing to ratify unconstitutional aqtiop
and sanction the Radical policy hy any
further concessions. They are neither
sullen nor do they t,i\ke counsel from
passion. On the contrary, they, wp.ijbl
respond promptly’ to any ' overture‘of
kijidoeas wbieh had conciliation an
did Os strife for its object.
They resent, however, tho effort
which is niado by certain Radical or
gans to make it appear that they attri
bute their sufferings to President John
son’s policy of reconstruction, and that
they p ray the Radicals not to visit upon
them the President’s sins. Whatever
may be tlie faults of the Rbuthem peo
ple, ingratitude is not among them, aujj
he who has breasted the storm to sa\-S
them from, destruction need nevurdtar
that they will desert to the enemy and
make terms for themselves.
While the Southefrr States are ex
cluded from Congress and denied their
rights, they will not ratify
amendments, to the Constitution pro
posed hy a Congress where they""were
unrepresented. But let them lie ad
mitted and the bail removed, and they
will consider, nay, concur in, all tlie
amendments which the altered condi
tion of the country may require. And
I am much mistaken if they do not
prove far more liberal than tnfe. North
supposes. They now fold their arms,
determined to grin and bear whatever
qomes to them as-“oonquerc 1 prov
inces,” as ills which they are powerless
tp avert. They acknowledge expedi
ency, and would concede much to se
cure peace. They are grateful for the
counsel of friendship, but they cannot ,
he persuaded that any concession will
appease Radical vengeance, and there
fore they are resolved to be passive and
hope for the best.
1 have. given in the foregoing what 1
believe to lie a true picture of Southern
feeling with regard to the Constitutional
Amendment, both as to the merits of
the measure and the question of expe
diency. Despondency is very, general.
Poverty is at almost every doorstep ;
and enterprise,.which waited “tilUiUor
the October elections,” has closed its
pocket book and migrated.
. Quondam.

Judy who occupied tlie carriage, knoiv
irfg his person, was too much embarrased

conscious of her presence. He is known
to have talked freely to Mrs. Madison,
whose worth and talents are tielleVcd to
