The New Plan of Adjustment.
Wo gave, recently, tit extenso, the
proposed plan of adjustment of our
National difficulties, embraced under
United States and State Constitutional
Amendments. This plan is now the
principal topic of newspaper discussion,
and numerous are the views which have
been and are being expressed upon it.
For our part, we confess to a reluctance
to yield to unjust and unnecessary
requirements; hut, thiuk as we may,
reason os we may, we can not and
ought not to divest ourselves of the
recollection that we are no longer free
agents, in a free Republic, hut a con
quered people, wholly at the mercy of
the conqueror. This being true, it
behooves us, as the part of wisdom, to
accept the least burdensome, or most
favorable terms that the conquerer
offers us. We could not accept the
Constitutional Amendment, because it
required us to stultify ourselves, and to
bring odium or disgrace upon those why
had braved for us the dangers of the
battle field, and shared with us the
risks, the triumphs and the defeat of war.
It asked too much.
We could sacrifice everything but
honor; that we can never part with.
But the plun under discussion does not
ask this sacrifice of us. It is true it
asks great concessions of us, as com
pared with our Southern view of the
right of suffrage and political affairs
generally; it affords a sort of compro
mise ground, upon which both sections
can come together, and strike hands
once more in peace and Union, without
dishonor. What does it propose? Briefly,
this: First, as an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, the
declaration of the perpetuity of the
Uuion and the denial of the right of
secession ; the recognition of the Union
debt, and the repudiation of the Con
lederate debt; the recognition of all
native and naturalized citizens of the
Uuited States as citizeus of the several
States; a property qualification for
voters not to exceed s2oo, and an edu
cational qualification, embracing the
ability, on the part of the voter, to read
the Constitution of the United States in
English, and to write his own name.
Second, as an amendment to the State
Constitutions, the right of every male
citizen to vote, who has resided in the
State for one year, and the county for
six months, and who can read the Con
stitution of the United States in English
and write his own name, or who is the
owner of $250 worth of taxable prop
erty ; provided, however, that no one
heretofore entitled to vote shall be de
prived of that privilege.
This is the substance of the plan
proposed, and which is, we believe, to
be brought forward by the North Caro
lina Legislature as a test of its effi
ciency and practical application in the
settlement of our difficulties. If sue*
cessful there, of course the other States
will adopt it, and so resume their places
in the Union and their representation
in Congress.
We should, however, prefer that Con
gress should emphatically declare that
if the Southern States adopt this plan,
it will be accepted as a finality iu the
adjustment of National troubles. If
this is done, we are confident that
every Southern State would at once
adopt it ; for the reason that, while it
concedes the principle of impartial
suffrage, it yet leaves the question with
the several States respectively, and by
restoring the right of .suffrage to all
who were entitled to it, gives, practi
cally, a general amnesty.
This is the view which we take of it,
and, we believe, a correct view ; but wo
are not prepared to say that it will be
acceptable to the Radicals in Congress,
though the iudications are that a more
conservative sentiment is gaining
ground there ; and as Governor Orr,
of South Carolina, and Sharkey, of
Mississippi, who were recently in Wash
ington, ure said to favor the movement,
we are led to the belief that some as
surance has been given of its accept
anee by Congress.
We Lope, therefore, that North Caro
lina will make the experiment at once.
There is no harm in it; for, if success
ful, all will be well. If not —if it fails,
why, then, we have done all that could be
reasonably asked of us, and must await,
as calmly and as patiently as possible,
the course of future events. '
It may be that the Radical party
does not want the Union restored until
after the next Presidential election ;
but if that is their intention, it would
only secure their power for lour years
lunger ; wrhile an amicable adjustment
of ponding difficulties, might give an
eclat, and a prestige, which opposing
political parties at the North could not
deprive them of. It seems to us, there
fore, that while it is the part of wisdom
with us to accept as promptly as possi
ble the most favorable terms we can
get, it is equally the part of wisdom
with the Republicans to settle the
National difficulties in the quickest aqd
easiest terms. At all events, the effort
is worthy of being tried.
Letter* from an Ex-Rebel, to
Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev-
Henry Ward Beecher.
X UMli Kit ri.
Siaa : Since the close of the war,
and especially since the Radical ma
jority of the dominant party at the
North manifested their purpose to
exclude the ‘"RebeJ States’’ from their
places in the Union, strenuous efforts
have been made to make the Northern
people believe that our submission is a
sham, that we hate and detest the
United States Government, that
wherever and whenever we can do so
safely, we violate the laws and defy
uuthority ; that we persecute and mal
treat all Southern men who opposed
our rebellion and wished.for the success
ol the Federal armies : that it is not
safe for Northern men to come among
us, and that we treat the negroes with
inhuman injustice and cruelty. Hosts
of letter writers, employed specially for
the purpose, spread circumstantial
stories of our lawlessness, rebellion, in
tolerance, and inhumanity, broadcast
among the Northern people, magnify
ing everything which could possibly
tell against us, suppressing everything
which could plead in our favor, and
inventing with remarkable fertility of
imagination, all sorts of proofs of our
truculent ferocity, wheu the fiuest
thread of fact cannot be found to make
the substance of the tissue of slander.
The object 13 manifest. It is well
known that were the Northern people to
ascertain the truth, to judge of us as we
really are, and be fully aware of our
conditiou, sentimeuts, aud desires, their
sense of justice, their generosity, and
their love of fair play would impel them
to rise as one man to prevent the
oppression which, to serve party ends,
13 inflicted upon us. It is therefore
found necessary to deceive them, to
make them believe that we are rebel
lious, turbulent, and barbarous to the
freedmen, and that the fruits ot the war
for which they sacrificed so much would
be lost if w 8 were not treated as we are,
and if we were allowed the use of politi
cal freedom. The army of agents of
every department aud bureau which are
now thrown out as a gigantic skirmish
line over our entire country, have a
direct interest in the successful contin
uance of this wicked cheat. Did they
tell the truth, there would be no occa
sion for their services, and their power,
consequence, pay, and emoluments,
would be suddenly swept away, and they
themselves consigned to the obscurity
of private life and the toilsome earnings
of honest industry.
It matters not that Generals Grant
and Sherman, Generals Steadman and
Fullerton, General Granger and Mr.
Watterson have severally made official
reports, hearing emphatic testimony to
to our peaceful, patient, law-abiding,
and law-respecting acts and demeanor ;
the letter writers immediately denounce
these high officials as copperheads and
rebel sympathizers, invent anew tale of
outrage on a Unionist, a Northern mam
or*a’ negro, with all the circumstantiality
of names, places, and dates, and the
romance is propagated and believed,
while the reality is left undisturbed in
the pigeon-hole of some department
desk.
If a drunken vagabond in a pot house
“damns the Yankees,” and declares iii s
eagerness “to fight them again,” his
inarticulate rqvings. lrom bad whiskey
are telegraphed as evidence of the re
bellious spirit of the whole community.
If an indiscreet editor of an obscure
country newspaper, who has the exemp
tion paper still in his pocket by which
he evaded military service, writes a
swaggering article, the whole press of
the State is represented as preaching
the rebellion, which public sentiment
approves. If some offensive knave of
the N. S. Morse order violates public
decency, aud obtrudes hi3 society on
honest men, and is, in consequence,
shunned and snubbed, union men are at
once declared to be in danger of their
lives throughout the entire South. If a
row occurs at a railroad depot, on a
wharf, or elsewhere, between a number
of white and black laborers, "the fright
ful murder of a number of freedmen
by rebels,” is forthwith announced
with displayed headings, and elabo
rate details in the first, second, third,
and fourth accounts of special reporters
sent to the scene of the bloody crime.
The Governors, Judges, Magistrates,
and all others in authority in the States,
are represented as not merely not repress
ing and punishing outrages ofthis nature,
but a3 encouraging and approving them.
We may, and do deny all this, and ex
pose its utter "falsehood ; but who at the
North believes our denial, and how few
ever hear ot it? But if, for example,
you were to desire to know the state of
feeling in Georgia, the conduct of the
people, and the disposition of the local
authorities, and were to apply to Judge
Urskine, or District Attorney Fitch, or
General Tillson, you could rapidly ascer
tain that the letter writers have not told
you the truth, and that relatively to num
bers, there is as |!ittle crime and law
lessness of sort in this State as iu
the most loyal of all the loyal States.
You would find that the members of the
“Southern Loyalist Association, (except
perhaps those of them who are fugitives
from justice or absconding debtors)
might live any where in this State with
perfect impunity and immunity from
danger, and although it is very possible
they would not find their society courted,
they would he as unmolested and as free
as if they had been prominent soldiers
of the army of Northern Virginia. You
would find that Northern men who do
uot provoke antagonism by insulting
language or offensive acts, are kindly
and hospitably received. You would
find that, Jwith very rare exceptions,
the freedmen are treated with gen
erosity, kindness, aud most praise'
worthy forbearance, and that where
diitnrbanco* arise between the races,
the criminal interference of a Mr. Bry
ant, or a Massachusetts negro Bradly is
found to bo the cause. Conte and sec,
and judge for yourselvct. You have
both been invited to come—accept the
the invitation.
Investigate closely. Examine, as I
know you will, fairly. Come by all
means. Visit our cities, towns, planta
tions, and workshops. I promise you
a good reception and every opportunity
to form nn accurate opiuion as to public
sentiment and our social condition. If
we are ns lawless, as violent, as intol
erant, and as barbarous as we are
represented, you will say so, and sus
taining the letter writers will condemn
me; but if you find the reverse to be
the case, you will disabuse the minds
of your people of the wicked error into
which they have been led, will help to.
rescue an unhappy nnd suffering people
from unjust and cruel oppression, aud
you will yourselves enjoy the satisfac
tion of having vindicated justice and
maintained truth. Intelligent as you
are, and conscientious as I believe you
to be, you are deceived and made to
help in the spread of this fiendish im
posture- Again, I say, look for your
selves. Come among us and satisfy
your minds, not by consultation with
little Bureau Agents, who would be
ruined by your kuowing the truth, but
by uniting with the people of all condi
tions and colors, and watching them in
the every day relations of life.
We have no representatives to speak
for us, no advocates to plead our cause.
Our hands sre tied and our voice
drowned by the clamor of those who
would destroy us. Insist that we be
heard, aud he yourselves the instruments
by which the mightiness of truth will
be made to prevail. Xyi.ox.
OBITUARY.
Dure, in this City, on the 31st of October,
Dr. CHARLES M. WRIGHT, in the
3i!th year of his age.
Dr. Wkioiit was so long lind so favorably
known in our midst that bis memory re
quires no fulsome adulation, no glistoniug
flowers of rhetoric, to keep it fresh with
those who knew him best. An upright and
respoctod citizen, a Mason who had been
lung a member, and an ornumeut of that
respectable fraternity, his death was a loss
not only to his family nnd to his friends,
but to the order of which ho was so worthy
a member, and to the community at large.
In the hope that that loss was his gain, we
can only add : “Peace to his ashes, immor
tality to his soul!” A Fkiund.
