> im gailn City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST Cir¥ OIRCILATION AtrouurA. oa. THURSDAY MORNING May *3, 1S« Ornoiiiot a Party Befoi e Im to ration- To those aho are indu.lriotralj en gaged in orjt*ni*ing » party in Georgia, in the interest of the R*du-»1 P** r, 7* wr commend the article trom the St. Loui* Dtmoerwi, one of lh« n>°* intense, as it is, certainly, one of the ablest Radical papers in the Union. It very pointedly suepests the impropriety of attempting to reorgeniie States, so that the beneti 1 of re-ad mission will accrue to a party organisation, rcgarJleae of the rights and interests of the large mass of popu lation. The article referred to shows unmistakably to our mind a settled purpose and desire to admit the ex cluded States as soon as they comply with the terms ot the reconstruction bill. The same sentiments have been urged by Speaker Colfax, Horace Greeley, and mauy other leading Re publicans. No party could stand against the exhibition of bad faith that srouid be shown in exacting other terms after those proposed have been complied with in good faith. But. it is uraed, other terms have bren insisted upon, after we thought we bad yielded alt that was necessary to secure ml mission. True, but th»-terms accepted were those offered by the President, and were never sanctioned by Congress, which, as the war-making power, claims the right to fix the terms on which peace shall be made. Neither Congress or any of those who urge the acceptance of the Military Bill, ask os to approve it, and the feeble and shameless attempt to identify all who favor the acceptance of the bill, with Radicalism, is too contemptible for argument. We call the attention of these carpers to the language of the article to which reterence has been made, which warns the Republicans that the Southern States will not reor ganize in the interest ol any party, and “jtroU.ds agaiu.il the idea that the Republican party has any right to delay reconstruction merely to make its own triumph secure.'’ So far as we are allowed to speak for our class of recon structionists, we desire to say that they have no political object beyond a com pliance with the law, and to enjoy those rights which have been guaranteed the State in the event of such a compliance. They have no triends to reward, and, certainly have no power to punish ene mies, and no party in the North has a right to hold the people of these States as political enemies unless they know that their own conduct is of such a character as to tnalta them so. Obedience to the law is all they have a right to ask, and it is all an honorable people can yield. ■ That obedience se cures the negro perfect political equal ity, and leaves him no reason or excuse to turn away from Lis old friends, or to look to strangers or soldiers of fortune for advice or protection. From the St. Louie democrat (Radical). Partizanship not to Control Rea toration. The only danger that now threatens the Radical party comes from the anxiety of some ol its leaders to secure tt victory in 1868. Proloundly impressed with the importance of that election, and persuaded that the fruits of the war will he lost unless the Republicans control the next administration, they may perhaps shrink from restoring to political rights any controlled by the unlhßepublican party, though organized in tuil compliance with the requirements of Congress. Party leaders are not svlways to be blamed because they instinctively cling to power. Anxiety tor the success of a party may he caused as well by a sincere and noble patriotism as by any personal ambition, and rarely if ever has there been a time when the success of a party seemed more clearly necessary to the welfare of the country than that of the Republican party now seems. Put anxiety to win sometimes makes men lose. McClellan failed be cause he was too much afraid of failure. “ He who seeketh his life shall lose it,” applies sometimes to parties. For if the people have any reason to believe that the Republicans, in their dealing with the question ol reconstruction, are governed by a desire to carry the next Presidential election, rather than by regard lor the welfare of the country, the party will be in greater danger of defeat than ever before. The changeof teelingat theSouth.and the rapid progress toward reconstruction on the Congressional basis, excite the alarm of some Republicans. They say “perhaps the rebels will succeed in con trolling the organizations ; perhaps the Republican party will command no strength ; then if these Slates are to be restored in season lor the next election, we shall have been all voting against the Republican candidate.” What of it? President Lincoln was elected in 1860, with all the Southern Slates voting against him ; he would have been elected again in 1801, if all those States had voted against him, and if an election for President had taken place last lull the result would have been just the same. We protest against the idea that the nation has any thing to fear lrom the votes of these beaten rebels; we protest against the idea that the lie publican party bus any right to delay reconstruction merely to make its own triumph secure. The business of the party is to take care of the country, if a reconstruction safe to the country can be obtained, no party lias any badness to delay it lor political purposes. And, though there re very lew Republicans who Can be reasonably supposed to entertain any such purpose, the whole country would be held re sponsible by the people it reconstruc liou should oe so delayed as to induce the belief that it was done to secure a party victory. The danger is that other motives will lead liepublteaus U> resist the restoration of Southern States when so organized that they might be solely restored. For example, in some Southern States men who were uetive and influential rebels aro now the most prompt to accept the terms proposed by Congress, apparently in good faith. They say, “We have fought wad have been beaten ( yon have the right to preecribe terms, end you propose free labor and eivil and political equality; we accept the situation, and will make best of it. Suppose these men socceid in controlling the new organ is ition j aapp-se they comply in good laith with all the requirements of Congress, aud apply for restoration. Some Republicans wist object. “These men art red-handed rebels," they will say. “We must have States controlled by loyal men only.*’ And on that ground alone sonic members will vole to refuse restoration to a State ao organised. The first effect of every such vote would be to strengthen those who claim that the Republican party delays reeto ration for a partisan purpose only. No mutter what reasons might be assigned for refusal to admit the State applying, it would be represented ns intended only to secure a victory in 1868. Again, it would be regarded by many at the North, as well as at the South, as an act of bed faith. Congress has formal ly unnou-.ced the terms which it will require ol the Southern States, aud lias decided that upon compiling in good faith with those terms any State shall be restored to representation. It will not do to insist that the Republican party must control every State; no step Lhut Congress could take would so surely prove fatal to the party. But to precisely that construction the action of Congress would be liable if States organized in entire compliance with all the requisitions ot Congress should be refused restoration because controlled by men who once aympatbisod with rebellion. It must not be forgotten that nearly all the men of education, character, or influence, in the Southern States were drawn into the whirlpool of rebellion. A government wholly controlled by the men who never took part in or sympa thized with the rebellion, except iu one or two Stales, would command the support of only a minority of the people. In every State it would stand greatly iu need of men of ability and influence to give it strength. In effecting the new organization, these men will be thrown into some cooperation with loyal men of the South. Would it be well to refuse the restoration of any State simply because its organization may be iu part controlled by men who have uot always been loyal, but who cow comply in good faith with all the requirements of Congress ? Would it not drive away into permanent antago nism a class of meu whose hearty sympathy and valuable cooperation may be obtained for the cause of tree labor and equal rights by ac cepting their full complitir.ee with the law as evidence of their loyalty of purpose ? We believe that if any Southern State organizes in full compliance with the letter and spirit of the reconstruc tion acts, the majority of Republicans will insist that its restoration shall not be delayed. If the conditions pre scribed by Congress are sutticient for the safety of the nation, we have no need of scrutinising too closely the antecedents of meu who cordially accept those conditions. If the government framed satisSes the requirements of Cougress, it ought never to be asked whether it is or is not controlled by Republicans. GEORGIA ITEMS. Mr. J. M. Wing, conductor on the West Point Railroad, had a leg fractured while the train was moving off from Powell's Station a few days ago. Mr. W* E. Quillian, Postmaster of Miliedgeville, has been appointed Regis ter of Voters for that District, which is composed of the counties of Baldwin, Hancock, and Washington. A number of the garrison at Rome got mellow after being paid off the other day, and sixteen deserted. A reward of thirty dollars each is offered for their arrest. The Board of Trustees of Oglethorpe University, at a recent meeting, decided not to remove the institution from its present location. They also adopted resolutions calling upon the Synod by whom the University was founded to renew the efforts to re-endow it, and place it once more in its former efficient condition. On account of the recent escape of several prisoners from the Bartow County Jail, General Pope had 1 re moved the Sheriff and his Deputy, and appointed W. L. Goodwin, of Carters vilie, Sheriff, and Aaron Collins, Deputy- Sheriff. Base ball occupies so much of the time of many yottug men in Atlanta, that employers now inquire of applicants for positions whether they belong to a ball club. The Japan plum, a very rare and delicious fruit, has been successfully raised in Columbus, by Mrs. Griffin. Our neighbor across the way, ad ty or two ago, expressed a desite to know what had become ol Governor Brown. He was announced to speak at La grange, on yesterday. The schooner Loyal Scranton left New York on the 11th inst., for Savan nah, with 10,000 bushels of corn from the Relief Association of that city, for the destitute people of the South. The Rome Courier gives an account of a brutal murder at 'J'ryon county, in Chattooga county, lon the 17th. It seems that Mr. Foster, formerly of Greenville, Tennessee, had traded Mr. Scoggins, a horse that was after claimed by a third party, as having been stolen from him, and Foster had turned another horse over to Scoggins as security. On the morning above named Foster went to Scoggins, and demanded the second horse", and, as the latter refused to give him up, Fos ter shot him twice, producing instant death. Foster escaped on the horse that had been the object of the quarrel. The Columbus Sun says that some thing is being done tixrestore the cita to its former prosperity. In the city are several iron works, where farming utensils, machinery, etc., to a limited extent are made in excellent stylo. There is one large steam planing and wood, shop, and an extensive gin manufactory. Carpenter and black smith shops are frequent. On the com moits is a rope establishment which turns out excellent material. Several firms are making handsome vehicles and harness. A stove manufactory will be in operation before many days. The Columbus Factory, on a limited scale, is making cloth and very largely thread and yarns. The steam factory on Ogle thorpe street remains, as it was some time since. An engine has been placed in position, the buildings enlarged, a number of fine machines put in order, but for want of money, the company has done no work, and the concern stands where it did several months ago. The Eagle and Phoenix, and the Grant cotton mills cannot be put in operation before next Fall. There is much to en courage, and at the same time many apjiearanues are disheartening. 8r«oUl Notices.
