SATURDAY MORNING.....Nov. 10. ISM
Georgia Reject* the Coaotitutiooal
Amendment
A* we anticipated, the Georgia legis
lature hat rejected the Constitutional
Amendment, and that by an almost
unanimous vote. This has been done
in no defiant or revolutionary spirit, but
in the proud consciousness of right, and
a reasonable unwillingness on the part
of the people to father degradation upon
themselves. The General Assembly
could do no more nor less than has
been done. We have submitted to
every exaction that has been made upon
us; but this pill is too bitter to swallow,
and it has been rejected. What the
result will be we know not; but our
Northern brethren must know that,
while we are ready and williug to
submit to any and every honorable
requirement that can reinstate ns in
the Union, and secure peace and pros
perity to oar country, we are not willing
to fix the chains of disgrace arouud
oar o*n necks. We can not and will
not.
Good Advice.
We have takcu the position, that the
duty of the Southern people is to eschew
politics and devote all their euergies to
the recuperation of their section of the
Union, and to the development of its
resources. We are gratified to find that,
in the Press of the South, we have so
many able co-workers in the advocacy
of this position. The following article
from the Columbia (S. C.) Phoenix, is
full of good advice—and to the point:
What tiie South Has to Do.—The
apparent apathy of the South with re
gard to national or party politics has
already attracted the tierce partizan
journals of the North. They cannot
understand why the Southern people,
deprived as they are of representation in
Congress, do not rush into the arms of
one or the other parties at the North, to
help them in their present condition, or
to rescue them from worse evils to come.
The State of Texas, the other day, in
her Congressional elections, gave a
striking evidence of the feelings of the
people generally at the South—the vote
was extraordinarily small, and the
people took no interest in the matter,
knowing that whoever might be'elected
would have their trip to Washington for
nothing, or else to receive the sneers
and snubs of the Radicals, for their
silliness in thinking they would he
admitted into their godly communion of
* saints, whose high priest is trying to
make a bargain with his liege lord and
master—his satanic majesty—to estab
lish a penitentiary in his nether domin
ions for the express benefit of rebels.
As with Texas, so will it be with the
whole South. The preliminary work to
their more active duties is, for the
Southern people to let Federal politics
alone. It is the province of the press
(and they will perforin their duty faith
fully iu tie premises), to keep their read
era folly posted up as to the movements
of their avowed political enemies and of
their professing friends iu the Northern
States, in all matters affecting their in
terests. As to the absolute term, politi
cal and constitutional “rights,” the soon
er the Southern people forget it, the
better; it has been wiped out with a
bloody sponge, and it will never be re
stored, we are afraid, in our day and
generation. State rights, (once glorious
doctrine), State sovereignty, (the bul
wark and strength of Republican liberty),
and a strict adherence to the Constitu
tion, (John C. Ca'houn’s glorious and
immortal motto), have all been swept
away by the bayonet, the torch and sword,
and expunged from our political lexicon,
as theories; their practical use, applica
tion aud benefit have fallen with the
“lost cause,” and, with it, must sleep
until right, justice and truth snail again
assert their sway in this unfortunate
aud fanatic-ridden country.
The people of tiie South have no
thing left of all the principles their
lathers held dear, to enter again into the
field of political strife. They have
other work to do, however—more to the
purpose, more practical, and of vastly
greater importance, than any of the old
political issiH-s, ivn■■•there any ot them
left to squuhh: over. And w. lice
it is a mercy that it is so, for if there
■were inducements to enter national poli
ties at present, the work of recupera
tion would be delayed, and we would
think more of the success of our princi
ples or party, than of a good crop of
corn or Cotton. It is to these that the
South must now apply itself; her wheat
crops next spring, blessed by the Father
of all seasons, ought to ho abundant ;
her stock should be added to and im
proved ; her ground, even on a small
scale, thoroughly prepared lor corn and
Cotton; her fences repaired, and her
pasta res well tenanted with beevd's.
The farm will require all the attention
of the Southern agriculturist, and leave
him little time for Federul philips, or
tor street corner or bar room discussions
over dead issues or future political
events. Their sons, 100, ought to be
taken from the haunts ot idleness, if nut
of dissipation, and put to work in the
field, or some other place ol usefulness
about the old plantation ; for a pair of
active, vnnn/. strong, and willing hands,
working for the lather, will be worth six
pair of the negro slave, who performed
unwillingly ids slovenly task, and then
did not care for the result.
Work, work, work, is the destiny and
duty of the Southern people tor some
years to come. All have their share to
perform; the merchant should give the
highest possible price, without peenui
ary loss, tor the plauter's produce, and
should sell his goods at the most reason
able liviug profit. It is no time tor
makiug a tortune in a year or two, by
fleecing one another ; cordial co
operation, or, in common parlance, a
Jong pull, and a strong pull, and a pull,
altogether will, if persisted in with ener
gy aolf-reluiuco.Bud tnrbenring torun af
ter strange gods, in the shape ot extrava
gance in dress, fashions, eventually
restore tl.e Mouth, and enable heroine
more properly to lift her head, and
at the titling lone assert her lights under
the government, with that determination
which will bring success. L util i h'-n,
wait and work patiently, and eschew
Federal politics.

Mr. Pottle, of Warren: To provide

State, under the Congressional Land

Adjourned. Pluto.
For the Daily Press.
The Situation—The Question.
Messrs. Edwors : If the acceptance
to the Amendment to the Constitution
proposed by Congress, aud which is the
proposition of the men or party known
as Radicals who now control it, could
or would be she “all-and-end all,” tbe
South would assert to it. If it would or
ftould be regarded ns the Restorative of
the Constitution as made by our fathers;
if it would result iu the reconstruction
of the union of the States ; if it would
restore Southern representation ; if it
would give the assurance that taxation
would not be laid without representa
tion ; if it would give peace, law and
order; it it placed representation on the
white basis only, and accepted the prop
osition that the Government was to be
an expouent of the Caucus an (white)
race only ; if it was an acknowledgment
of the honor, the truth, the fidelity and
resources of the South, the South would
assent to it.
But the more the South yields tho
more the North will demand. It is
human nature. What such men as
Orr and Perry, of South Carolina, ad
vised to be yielded, and who strutted
themselves on the stage of the last
eighteen months, in the vanity of yield
mg, and for their own promotion, has
but produced disgust and contempt in
their own State, and in the entire South.
That Constitutional Amendment can
be easily defeated. If ten States out of
thirty-six refuse to assent to it, it is con
stitutionally gone.
But my point is, that if the South ac
cepts the Constitutional Amendment,
more will be demanded of her. It will
be demanded that she should assent to
and provide for negro suffrage ; and in
so doing, pul the negro on the level of
the white race: aud that even the
miscegenation ot tbe white and black
races should occur.
The South has no intention to sacri
fice what is due to her, through her
civilization, her blood, her spirit, and
her present and future resources, to any
admixture with negro blood or influ
ence which shall rule her.
We—the South—will not, therefore,
accept the Constitutional Amendment.
Our foot is down.
Respectfully,
John Cunningham.
Merchant Tailors—lnternal Rev
enue Taxes. — Hon. Thomas Harlan,
Deputy Commissioner of Internal Reve’
nue, in reply to a letter from a clothing
house, relative to the taxes on tailoring
business, gave the following decision :
Under the act of June 30, 1864, as
amended by the act of March 3, 1865,
the tux on clothing, etc., was six per
cent, ad valorem. And a tailor exclu
sively engaged in manufacturing to or
der, as custom work, whose products,
including materials, did not exceed
SI,OOO, was exempt from duty.
Under the act of June 20, 1864, as
amended by the act of July 13, iB6O, the
tax is about two per cent., and a tailor
exclusively engaged in manufacturing
to order, as custom work, whose work,
exclusive of material, does not exceed
SI,OOO per annum, is exempt trom duty.
When the work exceeds in value
annually $1,01)0, the party manufactur
ing to order as above can have no claim
to the exemption nuder section ninety
four, but is liable to a tux of two per
Cent, ad vahicm on llie entire amount
of His manufactures, unless he may be
entitled to the exemptions under the
provisions of section ninety-three of
said act.
The tax on clothing is in all cases ou
the entire value of the same, including
material, labor, and profits, and not oil
the increased oalue given to the mate
rials by making, or, in other words, o«
labor alone. This is the case when a
tailor makes clothing from materials
furtiisln-d him by his customer, as well
as when he furnishes the materials him
self. In this case lie has the right to
charge the tax to the customer furnish
ipg the material.
Stewart and His Cheap Tenements,
—'t he New York 'Jribune says, Mr. A.
T. Stewart has decided not to erect the
houses fur the poor on the land offered
by a wealthy citizen for that purpose.
He wiiT accept aid from uo sSTtrce what

project t 6 completiou-at an expeaso ap*
proximating nearer five millious than
one million dollars.
A well known architect of New York
hus been consulted, and' the noble work
of providing homes for the industrious
poor, is to be commenced at an early
dliy and prosecuted with energy.
Hknby Clay's Prediction. — In his
letter to Calvin Coltoii, September 2d,
18-13, Mr. Clay says: “The present
question (the slavery question) in the
Free States will destroy all harmony,
and finally lead to disunion. 1 lie con
sequences of disunion are—perpetual
Wiir —the extinction ot the African race
