SUNDAY MORNING ....May J*. I*«T
A Reconstruction Dialogue-
We here * friend who is what may
be called an unreconstructed rebel, and
it proud of it- He has n ° inclination
to fight any longer— indeed, if onr memo
ry aerrea us his battle* were all battle*
of the Kegs, in the Commissary de
partment—but he can't consent, as he
terms it, to humiliating himself by voting
for a Convention that is to affix the great
wrong embraced in the Military Bill
upon the people of his State ; and he
avers most earnestly that lie will stand
off, with Gor. Perry, and have nothing
to do with it- We had a brief conver
sation with him on yesterday, which, as
it is but a type of many colloquies now
taking place between the friends and
opponents of reconstruction, we append
it, presuming upon the intimate rela.
lions between us, as an apology for re
porting a private conversation.
Editor— Well, neighbor, how goes
the work of reconstruction?
A—Going to the d—l. The people
were so wedded to Lee, Longstreet, and
their old military leaders, that they
can’t resist following their advice,
though they know nothing about politics.
But m never follow them. I’ll never
disgrace myself, by accepting the Mili
tary Bill.
Ed—Well neighbor, if you'll pardon
the joke, you never did follow them long
and then yon were at a.safe distance.
But the boys at the front, who followed
them through four years of blood, are
willing to trust them, and like them,
wish the country restored to a condition
of peace.
A—what do they know about politics ?
What right have they to disgrace me f
Ed—They did not feel disgraced when
Lee surrendered to Grant, and they do
not feel disgraced now in complying
with the terms of the war-waging and
peace-making power. If you feel dis
graced, you can leave the country.
A—l've the same right in the country
that they or you have, (becoming a little
warm) and I expect to stay here.
Ed—ls you stay here, you are bound
to yield to the majority, and obey the
laws. Indeed, no man has a right to
claim the protection of a government
which he refuses to obey.
A—Oh, I'll obey the laws, but I’ll
have nothing to do with making them.
I’ll never vote —I'll wait, with Gov.
Perry, and let the cursed Radicals do
their worst.
Ed—What do you expect to gain by
waiting ?
A—We'll gain a reaction at the
North, and then this bill will be repealed.
Ed—But you Forget that no reaction
at the North can affect the present Con
gress, which is elected for two years,
and before that time the States will be
reconstructed.
A—But we’ll defeat the Convention,
and stay under military rule. I’d rather
stay under it till Gabriel blows his
trumpet than to take that bill.
Ed—But, neighbor, just now you were
not going to vote at all ! Well, sup
pose you vote, and enough vote with
you to defeat the Convention, what then ?
A—Then we will go on as we are,
until the people of the North come to
their senses, and elect another Con
gress which will do us justice.
Ed—But suppose the present Con
gress, at its next session, finding that
the votes in all the States have been
“no Convention,” concludes that the
Military bill shall be adopted, and
passes an amendment declaring that no
man who was in the Southern army, or
who sympathized with secession, and
who cannot take the test oath, shall
vote, and orders anew election ? Don’t
you see that then the negroes (who wiii
all vote for the Convention because it is
to confirm their right to vote)—and the
per se Unionists, will call a Convention,
and control it.
A—Well, let ’em call it. If it is to
be held, it matters not who holds it—
I’ll have nothing to do with it.
Ed—Pardon me—bat don’t you see,
that if all who can vote under the bill
unite, they can control the Convention,
and send delegates to it who, while they
are Union men, are Georgians, and will
do nothing harsh or ungenerous toward
those who participated in the war ?
A—Don’t talk to me about harsh or
ungenerous—any man who can get
into the Convention must take the test
oath, and and a man who can take
that.
Ed—But, neighbor, a great many
men can be found who can take it, who
though not perhaps before known as
leaders, are honest and true to the inter
est and honor of the State.
A (getting angry)—Don’t talk to me
about honor, with a man who stood by
the Union while we were engaged in
war, and I was
Ed—Speculating in sugar, and feed
ing the boys on tough beef, eh,
neighbor ?
A‘—lf we were not good friends, I
would not stand such insinuations.
Ed—And if we were not good friends,
I would not make them—but really
neighbor you sot so fair, I couldn’t
help it.”
A—Well, let by-gones be by-gones.
Neither of us fought enough to hurt.
Ed—True, but I am ready to accept
the results of the fight. lam willing to
let by-gones be by-gones—to accept the
terms offered, and endeavor to get
peace. I
A—l wouldn’t mind accepting the
infernal Military Bill ao much but there’s
Wilton, and Bryant, and Kelly, and all
that tribe in the saute line ; I can’t go
the Radicals.
Ed—Yon need not endorse them, or
go with the Radicals. You can vote for
a Convention who are not Radicals.
That is the main reason why I urge you
to register and vote.
A—Well there’s Joe Brown—they
say he's n Radical.
Ed—Joe Brown’s speeches nowhere
endorse the Radicals. On the contrary,
he merely accepts the Military Bill, not
a* wbat be would prefer, but as the best
we can get.
A—Well, the truth is, I can’t go
Brown no how. He. helped to bring on
the war—he seized—
Ed—Your sugar 1
A—We agreed to let by gones alone.
Ed—Well, Brown's old record is one
of the by-gones, and has nothing to do
with the present vital, paramount issue
of reconciliation and peace.
A—Well, 111 see—but I’m uot going
to disgrace myself.
So we parted—our friend to his store,
whose door is scarcely darkened by a
customer from morning ’till night,
simply because of the distracted condi
tion of the country —and we to our
sanctum, to take notes of the conversa
tion.
Strike. But Hear.
A few parties, jealous of the growing
business of the Daii.y Press, and a few
inconsiderate or bigoted persons, who
are governed by passion and prejudice
have busied their tongnes with the name
of this paper as a Radical journal. We
might afford to leave these tradneers to
sink into the harmless obscurity to
which they are hastening, did we not
feel that on the way they are throwing
clogs under the wheels of reconstruc
tion, and involving the best interests of
the country by their blind spite and
fatuity.
The Daily Press has never publish
ed a line that committed it, or was
calculated to commit its readers, to any
political organization. And we chal
lenge all carpers to point out a line in
these columns which breathes a spirit
false or offensive to the manly and just
sentiments or sympathies of the people
with whom we are identified.
We have urged the acceptance of the
Military bill, believing that it will be a
finality to agitation, restore the State to
its place in the Union, cause business
to revive, save our people from severer
measures, and end in the speedy
removal of all disabilities attaching to
a portion of our citizens. In doing this,
we have maintained our own self-respect,
and feel entitled to the respectful con
sideration ot the public. We have no
sympathy or identity with Loyal
Leagues, or with any party machinery
incident thereto- We hold those who
are bespattering reconstructionists with
abuse, as enemies to the public peace,
and unworthy the confidence alike of'
whites and blacks.
We are for a prompt acceptance of
the Sherman bill, believing it the best
terms we can get, and bold all party
plans and party interests subordinate to
the first great work of restoration.
Reliable Union Men-
The odium attaching to those who
opposed the war, and felt that their
allegiance was first to the Union, and
then to the State, was so great while
the struggle was pending, that it is very
difficult for those who sustained the
war, and especially who were seces
sionists, to accept them as custodians of
the public interests. Almost daily
harsh things are said of them, and the
argument is used that in selecting men
who can take the test oath, we must
select men who are the worst of Radi
cals, and who will join ill any sort ot
oppressive legislation against seces
sionists.
We hold these conclusions injurious
and unfortunate. We condemn Con'
gress for putting disabilities on those
who opposed its policy, and made war ;
and yet are unwilling to trust those who
were opposed to our policy, and were
for peace and the Union.
We must conquer our prejudices.
While it is most true that many noble
and pure men, whom the people have
honored, and who are worthy still of
honor and confidence, are temporarily
disabled, that this class includes
many of the brightest intellects in the
South, it is also true that in almost every
community there are sterling men to be
found, who were consistent in their op
position to the war. The truth is it
required the coolest moral courage, aud
most earnest devotion to principle to
stand up against the will and the pas
sion of the majority; and there is much
in such qualities that may well challenge
the respect and confidence of even se
cessionists, however the principle to
which they adhered at the time may
have been condemned. The war has
settled that issue by force, aud it is
folly to attempt to keep alive the old
memories aud old passions incident to
it. We all belong to the same country
now, and the same destiny is in store
for our children. Therefore let the se
cessionist and the unionist unite cor
dially in the work of restoration—se
lecting for office those who will do
justice to men of all shades of opinion,
aud of all colors. This is the only
straight and safe road to substantial
aud true reconstruction.
