TUESDAY MORNING June 11, I**7
Republicanism in Georgia-
A corretpuniltnt of Forney’s Press,
writing from Montgomery, gi»e* what
he said he beard between Governor J.
E. Brown and a gentleman travelling
with him :
Last night, en r.iute from Atlanta to
this point, I was the involuntary listener
to a ceti versa lion which let in a flood ol
light upon the motives of one prominent
i, ad representative reconstructed South
ern politician. I refer now to Governor
Joe. Brown, of Georgia.
U will not fail to be remembered that
this prominent personage came out some
short time ago in favor of graceiul and
hourly acquiescence in the terms offered
under the iniltary nets. It must be
borne in mind, too, that he has worked
energetically to the end of persuading
the people of Georgia in the same
cause. He is a man of large ability
and wide influence, and having begun
sis a strong disciple ol the Calhoun
school, it was justly esteemed a great
triumph. The ‘‘obstructionists” are
denouncing him most heartily, and
therefore it is clear that Gov. Brown’s
movement is visible evidence of the fact
that at last we have succeeded in divi
ding the political South.
But no one can be in Georgia two
days, and come into contact with the
Union men, without finding out that they
are the moat suspicious of the Governor's
intentions. In Atlanta, and in fact
wherever his direct influence is con
cerned, he has quietly exerted it ngainst
the organization of a Republican party.
But (or the opportune announcement of
the Republican call, in all probability
Governor Brown and bis friends would
have issued one, simply calling those iu
favor ol reconstruction in good faith.
This is the Governor’s posi'ion. Pri
vately he says he lavor3 the Republican
party, and expects to join it when the
time coineZj but he does not do so now,
as such a step as that might do mure
harm than good. So Governor Brown
lias beer, a hold-back among the white
Republicans in Georgia. But to return
to the conversation.
With Governor Brown was seated a
gentleman, who, it was soon evident,
belonged to the fire-eating Southern
school. From remarks he made it would
iui| ear that he was a resident of Mis
souri, during a part of the war at least.
The conversation between the Governor
and himself was carried on openly, and
no one could avoid comprehending its
drift. My attention was attracted by
hearing, in reply to a remark of Browu,
“Well, I should vote against a Conven
tion, any how.”
“ Would that be wise, in our present
situation ?” queried the Governor.
“ Perhaps not,” was the response.
“But what does it matter; we’re all
going to ruin, anyhow ? lam for giving
’em hell anyhow, ongeneral principles. ’
“ But there is no chance for revolu
tion on the part of the South this gen
eration, at least,” Was the quiet remark
of the Georgian.
“ I don’t know about that,” said the
other, boisterously; “it seems to me
that the Radicals are drifting in that
way, and it must come. We shall have
Mexico very soon, and then we’ll have
a row. Gel that restless revolutionary
clement in, and the South will know
how to use it.”
“ Yes, but that’s a contingency too
lar off. The question is, what shall we
do now ?” replied the Governor.
“Do! why do nothing. What can
you do ? The Radicals have got all the
power, and will hold it until they drop
to pieces of their own weight, and by
the results of their own tyranny.”
“ Well,” said the Governor “ there is
no hope for the South, unless a financial
crash shall come before the next Presi
dential election; then they may be
defeated."
“Not they,” said the other: “they are
bound to elect the next President.
During his term there will come di
visions and new issues. When anew
party gets into power, won't the Radi
cals suffer?” As he said this his tone
seemed full of satisfaction.
" I uni's just the position,” was replied
by Browu ; “if the South is only wise
now . takes advantage of what she can
not help, and once more gets into Con
gress, remaining there as of old a unit,
with more than twenty Senators and
over fifty Representatives acting to
getiier, the time will conie when we can
repay the Radicals for the humiliations
endured at their hands. 1 ’
After the last significant remark the
conversation became only a speech of
general jeremiad over the sure downfall
of the Union, growing out of Radical
despotism.
The words of Governor Brown are
worthy of note. They are, as nearly as
1 can give, the utterances of a man
esteemed as amongst the best specimens
of a reconstructed politician. What I
have giveu is a moderate transcript of
what was said.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
Mrs. Webb, of Thomasvilie, was
tbioivii from a buggy lust week and
killed.
The News speaks in high terms of
tbe satisfaction given by Judge J. W.
Burney, of the Freedmen’s Bureau,
belli to the negroes and whites, and
regrets that he has been relieved
because be could not take the test oath.
1.. T. Campbell, Esq., declines being
one ol the Registrars in Morgan county,
CROP ITEMS.
The Griffin Star says that for ten
yearn, there has not been such a wheat
i rop on Georgia soil as greets our eyes
this season. Borne of our farmers are
through harvesting in this vicinity, aud
all reports are exceedingly favorable.
Corn and Cotton also looks well. The
farmer* are wearing smiling faces;
and blacks and whites arc working witii
a view to keep the crop clear of the
grass.
jhe Madison News estimates the
value of the wheat crop in Greene
county, at $2 a bushel, at $25,000. In
Morgan he thinks $25,000 will be
realized from the wheat sold in that
market.
The Carlersville Express thinks there
will lie 200,000 bushels of wheat
shipped from that depot.
Corn and (Jußon are very promising
in Louth western Georg a.
Governor Perry'* Policy.
No. 111.
Governor Perry fears that if a Con
vention be held, the negroea and the
Radicals will obtain the control ol it,
and that if theyobtnin the control, spo
liation of the proporty of the whites and
other " wicked purposes * will be cer
tainly carried out- Impressed with this
apprehension the distinguished Caroli
nian advises his fcllow-cilizcu* “to defeat
the call of a Convention at the first
election, lie fore the majority (negroes
and Radicals) is organized and em
boldened by agitation and evil counsels,”
because, he anys, ‘‘it is possible to re
strain them at first, before they acquire
concert of action.”
The calamity which Mr. Perry dreads
and seeks to avert would he terrible, and
would lead to terrible consequences;
but unless the defeat of the Convention
would also defeat the negroes’ right to
vote, and destroy the political power
with which Congress has clothed them,
I am unable to see how the Governor's
plan can do any good. It is unhappily
too true that “ land for the landless,”
and “ houses for the homeless,” have
been made to some extent a negro
watch-cry, by the unprincipled adven
turers who are endeavoring to array the
negroes in hostility against the whites,
and they have partially succeeded in
making the lazy and good for-nothing
negroes in the cities and towns believe
that they will all become recipients o
farms and houses, to be granted to them
out of the property of the white rebels.
It is of the lost importance in the in
terest of both the whites and blacks
that the wicked folly of these falsehoods
should be exposed, and the negroes
made to understand that good conduct,
diligent labor, and friendly relations
with the white race at the South, are
the only possible means by which their
desire for lands and houses can be gra
tified, and by which they will he enabled
to exist at all.
I agree with Governor Perry that it
is possible to restain them (the negroes),
at first, but I differ from him diametri
cally as to the means of restraint. To
defeat the call of a Convention for any
such purpose, would be a virtual decla
ration of war by the whites against the
blacks, which would inevitably result in
the organization and concert of action
amongst the blacks, which Governor
Perry so much dreads ; while to concur
in calling the Convention, and partici
pate in its deliberations, would inevita
bly give the whites control of its action,
give the negroes proof positive that the
white race is not hostile to their pro
gress, render an adrerse organization
of the blacks, as a race, impossible,
because it would defeat “concert of
action,” and make the negroes them
selves defeat the confiscation policy
which itinerant agitators are now trying
to recommend.
I concede to the fullest exteut the
danger which Governor Perry attaches
to the exercise of power by a negro
majoity, but I cannot see how that danger
is removed by the whites voluntarily
depriving themselves of all political
power, and surrendering it to the ne
groes and the Radical whites; while I
can see clearly how such a course will
convert the danger iuto a woeful reality.
The suffrage is not granted to the
negroes on condition that we consent
to exercise it in common with them.
Whether we vote or not, the negroes
can and will vote. Whether we decide
to call a Convention or not, a Conven
tion will inevitably be called. Now
we can be heard in that assembly, and
it is possible, to say the least, that we
may control its deliberations and mould
its action. But should we defeat the
call for a few weeks until Congress
meets, and give the Radical emissaries
the power to tell the negroes that our
votes were influenced by our aversion
to negro suffrage, and fear ot negro
spoliation, is it a forced presumption
that “ the purposes” of .the negro major
ity would not be less “ wicked” then than
they are now; and that neither the
ignorant blacks nor the unprincipled
whites would not be more benevolently
disposed toward us than at present.
For us to talk about our never consent
ing to BlloW the negroes to vote, is like
the Pope who issued a Bull against the
comet. Wo have no more power to
prevent their voting than had His Holi.
ness to suppress the comet. As it is,
if we are wise, they will vote with us
and for us. But if we make them
believe that we regard and treat them
as enemies, we compel them to ally
themseHes with the Radicals and “ per
jured Southerners,” and afford this
unholy alliance the means of working
the ruin to us and ours which Governor
Perry pictures in such horrible form.
Our passions, our prejudices, and our
pride may induce us to reject the whole
Congressional plan, and defy the Radi
cals to do their worst. Nay, I will go
farther, our judgment may condemn-the
plan as unwise, and fraught with evil to
the whole country and to both races.
But we are powerless. Our most violent
passion and our coolest judgment are
alike impotent, if they run counter to
the wilt of Congress sustained by tbe
will of thirty millions of people. Does
any one believe that by resistance, active
or passive, we can compel Congress to
reverse its policy, revoke negro suffrage,
and allow us to manage our domestic
affairs in our own way? If nobody be
lieves this, and it is evident that Con
gress will carry out its purpose at every
hazard, do not those of us —poor, man
acled, exhausted people—who refuse to
submit to its decrees, and who denounce
ns dastards all who believe further
opposition hopeless, resemble in some
degree, “the consumplive lunatic” to
whom Governor Perry refers,? In the
excess of their droad of negro suffrage
and negro ascendancy, do they not take
the course which renders both inevita
ble ? In what do they differ Irom him
who feared death so much that he
dashed out his brains against the wall to
avoid it? Xylon.

The unexpected and lamented death of
our much esteemed aud valued friend and

painful eeuaaliuu ia our ranks. So sad and
sudden an event cannot fall to produce in

feelings of recret, and to.awaken in our
bosoms the fondest remembrance of his
many manly and Christian virtues.
A native of the Emerald Isle, he emmi
grated to this country white quite young,
and making this city principally bit home,
devoted himself actively to mercantile pur
suits.
Genisl, frank, and generons in his nature,
ever prompt and honorable in his Viusiaess
transactions, he had won the respect and
esteem of the entire community, and placed
himself in the front rank us the Merchants oi
Augusta.
A consistent member of the Catholic
Chureh in which he was born and reared,
his daily practice of her dirtne precepts
through life cvjnoed the purity and de
voieilness of his faith.
Cut down in the vigor of his manhood
and usefulness be has left a memory behind
him which we can never cease to respeot
and admire.
Asa slight token of tbe esteem in which
we held him, be it therefore,
RnoUsd, That in tbedeatb of PATRICK
GRAY this Company has lost an efficient
and honored member, and the community a
most useful and valued citizen.
Re.olced, That a blank page in our
Minute Rook be dedicated to his memory.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceed
ings he presented to bis surviving relatives,
assuringjthem of our sincorc sympathies in
this there, and our, bereavement.
