SUNDAY MORSntil Jaa* 1. IMT
The Radical Party in Georgia-
We azually read the La Grange
Reporter with pleasure. because w e
know the editor to be • high minded
and intelligent gentleman, nud uuu!ly
tree from the |et:v prejudices of the
mere politician. Bat we confess we
hare been someabat astonished that a
man of his sense and usual fairness
should attempt to show that those who
faeor reconstruction coder the Sherman
Bill “ will eventually drift into Radical
ism.” To use a Uite bat expressive
phrase ot the day—we caa't see it.”
Radicalism is growing weaker and
weaker every day at the North, and has
its existence alone in the issues that
grow out of the exclusion ot the Sooth
from Congress. Accept the iasoe as
presented—select the best men we have
available—send up a constitution that
f ulfils the demands of the Military Bill,
sad Congress wili not dare to reject us
or to inflict other disabilities upon us|
The Radical party is already full of
elements of disintegration ; and when
the Sooth is onee admitted to Congress,
all incentive to offensive or to Radical
legislation will have passed away. The
South will have votes, and it will be a
race between the great parties—be they
Democratic or Republican, which shall
do most to conciliate the South—to
secure its vote, and Radicalism will
disappear from National politics, or at
least from the National policy toward
the South.
Now we are a powerless prey to tte
dominant party—a helpless goose,
which can be pinched with impunity.
Give us represe our intereits,
and rights, and power will be respected,
because we shall be in a position where
we can command respect. Is this
drifting into Radicalism brother Wil
lingham ?
Adore** of the Republican Com
mittee.
Considerable stress is laid by the
“ No Conventionists” upon the address
issued by the Executive Committee of
the Republican party. We have not
published that address, because we
have not bad room for it, and our inter
est in reconstruction is high above all
party considerations. The gist of the
address is in this paragraph :
“ Congress reserves to itself full and
unrestricted right of judgment when
ever a State presents itself for admis
sion into the Union. That right will be
exercised fairly and generously even,
but yet in the interest of peace and loy
alty. Certain conditions precedent are
laid down in the laws. These must be
met; but D-yond these conditions, Con
gress must be satisfied, also, that the
people of the proposed States respec
tively are, and are likely to be, loyal to
the Union by decisive and trustworthy
majorities.”
Asa matter of course, we cannot
expect to be admitted back into the
Union if a majority of our people are
not ready to obey its laws. Congress
made the war, and it undoubtedly bas
the right and the power to make peace*
Since it has refused to make peace on
the terms proposed by General Grant
and by the President, there is nothing
ieft for us but to accept its terms.
The changes in our State Constitu
tion*, required by the President, were
quite as Radical and oppressive as those
nquired by Congress. We did not
consider ourselves dishonored or de
graded or Radicalized’by submitting to
the President’s terms; and if we are
true to ourselves ve shall not be dis
honored by submitting to the terms of
Congress.
Becoming Radicals.
The raw head and bloody bone! of
Radicalism is flippantly flungin the face
of every man who favors reconstruction
under the Military Dili. Here is a
sample summary of the counts in the
indictment, which we find in the col
urnng of our neighbor-in law across the
way :
Become substantially Radical; obey
every edict of Congftss; fasten, as far
as constitutions or fundamental laws
can, a heritage of Jacobinism upon
posterity; make common cause with
Butler and Btevens; prove by “decisive
and trustworthy majorities” that your
manhood, principles, character, and
liberty are surrendered to a rule or ruin
party; send Bryant A Cos. to the Senate
and House ot Representatives. When
these things are conceded, the South
may hope to receive representation at
the hands of the present party and
present Congress,
Ihe above extract contains more
fustian and absurdities than we have
ever seen crowded into the same com
pass.
Js it true, that obeying every edict of
Congress makes a roan “substantially”
Radical ? Did obeying the laws of Con
gress during the forty or fifty years that
it was controlled by the Democracy,
make all the States and people of the
States substantially Democratic?
Do we fasten a heritage ol Jacobin
ism upon posterity by' yielding to the
power of the majority in Congress, any
more than we did by yielding to their
power in the field ?
Do we surrender manhood, principles
character, and liberty, when we have no
power to preserve them if we refuse to
yield to Congress?
Is every man who is eligible to a seat
in Congress a member of the firm of
Bryant A Cos ? If so, it is a larger and
more reputable concern than we bad
supposed 1
There is a vast amount of shallow
humbug in the cry of Radicalism which
is raised against those who urge a
prompt acceptance of the situation, as
we tiud it.
[csssmcim.)
Hob. Joka P- Xing and CoL X- W.
Cola.
Ml Eomra: la a late namber of the
Moo roe (Ga.) Advertiser appears an
article, commending in the highest terms
CoL Wallace, of Atlanta, and CoL Wad
ley, of Savannah, for their great admin
isuwuve ability in managing ij sarresa
tally the respective Roads over which
they preside. No allusion whatever is
made to Hon. John P. King and Col.
E. W. Cole, of the Georgia Railroad,
than whom it would be a difficult matter
to find two men of rarer intelligence,
greater administrative ability, and a
greater degree ot energy than is and
has been displayed so advantageously to
the stockholders of that Road. .
W bea Col. Cole assumed charge ol
the Georgia Railroad you might safely
say it was a disorganized mass, without
any system by which its many branches
could be properly governed. It was
soon rescued from the chaotic state in
which he found it, and by reference to
the last Annua! Report, it is evident that
no Road can boast of better manage
ment or a better disposition of its
income. Laboring together as the two
chief executive offices do for the ad
vancement of the interest, not only of
the stockholders, but of the comm unitv
at large, it will continue to grow in
prosperity, and at the close of another
year the owners will be in duty bound
to say. “Well done, good and faithful
servants!” Long may they wave, is the
wish of their Fkiexd.
The Georgia Railroad.
We publish, with pleasure, a commu
nication in reference to the admirable
management of the Georgia Railroad.
The tribute to the wisdom and sagacity
of the President is do less just than the
credit awarded to the energetic Super
intendent, under whose immediate
direction the Road, in all its depart
ments, has been reconstructed since the
close of the war. It is especially
creditable to Colonel Cole that be has
sought, as far as possible, to do all the
work required for the Road at its own
workshop. In furtherance of this policy
much labor-saving machinery has been
purchased, aud the best class of work
men employed in the different depart
ments, and the complete success of this
policy is shown in the handsome engines
and cars that have been turned out
during the year.
In reference to the general condition
of the Road, we can add nothing to the
recent reports to the Convention of
Stockholders, which have been given to ■
the public. A substantial evidence that
the management of the Road is appre
ciated by the public, ri afforded in the
fact that the stock is appreciating in
value, and is now three or four dollars a
share higher than it was two weeks ago.
There is no reason why it should not be
at par, or even at a premium.
>o Time fwrSlrife.
The denunciations in which some of
our brethren of the press are in the
habit of indulging against those who
feel it to be their duty to take position
in favor of the acceptance of the recoil
struction bill of Congress, the Americus
Citizen ’says are ill-timed and ungen
erous.
In this connection we have to say
that the severe handling of his Excel
lency, Joseph E. Brown, for the course ;
he has thought proper to pursue, is, in
our judgment, not a legitimate warfare.
We have never been a political sup
porter of Joseph, and therefore have no
prejudices in his favor to control our
opinion in this matter. Why then, we
say, abuse Governor Brown or anybody
else, for a mere difference of opinion
on the great political issues of the day?
Has he not the same right to his views
of expediency and policy, as bis tra
duce rs?
Why impugn the motives of any one,
iri a crisis like this, when harmony in
cooncil and unanimity in action are so
necessary for the well being of all the
people? We do not see any reason for
crimination and recrimination, but
many reasons why the “ sober second
thought” of our best and most patri
otic citizens should place them upon the
only platform left us by the rulers of
the land and lead us to accept the terms
offered.
We say, then, away with your preju
dices—your cherished hopes of impos
sible idealties, and come down to the
duty of the hour, which is that of a
willing obedience to existing 'law and a
prompt compliance with ail the pre
requisites of the Act of Reconstruction.
Kuv«rn*r Perry Again.
Governor Perry lias published another
letter, which we have not space to
reproduce this morning. The points in
the letter are that the convention is
obliged to give universal suffrage; that
the negroes will have a majority of
votes and will elect whom they please;
that the negroes have already proclaim
ed in this city that property alone, and
not persons must be taxed ; that negro
rule will be worse than anything that
Congress tan do, and that, for these
reasons, every man should vote against
a convention, which he says cannot be
held if the white race are united to vote
it down. He says that it is “a craven
and cowering spirit ’ which prompts the
adoption of the Military bill, and that
there is no reason to fear confiscation.
In conclusion, he-dvises every qualified
persoo to register and vote against
convention.— Charleston News-
Our attentive correspondent “Xjlon,”
has promised to continue his review of
Gov. Perry's letters, and if he can keep
up with the Governor's fertile pen, we
shall be content to leave the result with
our readers.
