WEDNESDAY MORNING Juno 12.18*7
The Do Nothings Moving.
A recipe was published some years
ago, to make a baikv mule pull. W hen
such an animal takes one of bis cus
tomary fits of stubbornness, the recipe
told us to hitch a rope about one of his
fore feet, and pul! upon it until he was
induced to take a step forward. When
that is achieved, there is less difficulty,
and it requires less force to make him
t ,k • the second, and so on tili the beast
1 ,vs aside his “ masterly inactivity'* and
goes along kindly until, in obedience to
his mule nature, he forgets his lesson,
and it has to be repeated, but at longer
aid longer intervals, until lie is finally
cured.
This is a valuable receipe in politics,
as well as mitieroloyt/. Many a man
who was going to die in the last ditch,
rather than abandon his position—rnauy
>, one who was determined to stand on
Lis dignity, (which is only a genteel
phrase for “ taking the studs”), has, by
a little judicious and persistent pulling,
been induced to travel ahead in a par
ticular path, until having become enam
ored with the ..exercise of his own
powers of locomotion, he surpasses in
ardor aud speed those who were anxious
and labored to start him. The zeal
o! new couverts is proverbial, especially
of that class, like the lady in the song,
who,
“ Vowing she never would consent—con
sumed.”
We have an example ot the efficacy
of a long and strong pull in the present
political situation. When the proposi
tions of the Sherman Bill were first
offered to the people, the leaders and
journals of the do nothing or dignity
party advised that the people should
re rain from all action, and make no
movement, do not the first thing that
the bill required. The same require
ments were used against, and secured
the rejection of the Constitutional
Amendment, which rejection brought
down upon us this severer measuie.
We were told that we had done all we
ought to do, when in fact we had done
nothing at the behest of that depart
ment ol the Government which alone
had die power to propose terms of peace
—that this Sherman Bill, like the
previous proposition, was not a finality,
when the provisions of the bill itself
make it so, and it is so considered by
n majority of the Republican party in
Congress ; that it was unconstitutional
and would be so declared by the Su
preme Court ; as if we who had repu
diated most emphatically the authority
ot the Constitution, as well as of the
Supreme Court, years ago, could now.
when it suited us, play fast and loose
with that instrument, and boldly claim
its protection. Unless by the decision
of arms, the Confederate Constitnt on,
and the State Constitution of Georgia
formed under it, remains, for the most
part, unabrogated ; and it seems to be
the object of those who oppose the call
of a Convention, under the Sherman
Bill, that the State Constitution framed
when we were out of the Union, shall
still remain in force.
But aa to the unconstitutionality of
the Sherman bill, the Supreme Court
“could not see it - ’ —its action, or rather
its rolusal to act, took away some of the
grout’d from under the feet of the dis
union mule, and the party he personi*
ties has been compelled by a powerful
and steady pull on the part of the Gov
ernment and the Union party, to take
a -ti p in advance. True, it has been
done with much reluctant recalcitration
and many wry faces, still it is done.
The next will he easier, for as the
French proverb says, “It is the first
step that costs most.” There are three
steps to be taken in the reconstruction
process by the people :
Ist. Registration.
2d. A Convention.
2d. Ratification by a majority of the
registered voters, of the Constitution
framed by that Convention.
The original position of the disun
ionists was in opposition to all and
singular to these, but we have to con
gratulate ourselves and them that they
have yielded {heir antagonism to the
first- Now their programme is, for all
to register who can. A short time ago,
all wore advised not even to register—
all who registered were dishonored, and
all that sort of clap trap. This en
couraging advance may be owing, in
purl, to the advice of that man of letters,
Hon. B. F. Perry, who seems to have a
sort of epistolary revolver, which he
fires away at us at stated intervals. His
counsel is, “Let every one, not disfran
chised, go and register his name.”
'J hen let him go to the election, with
out fail, and vote for good men, endor
sing on it “Against Convention.” It is
a little strange that the disuDionists
should he so ready to follow the advice
ol Mr. Perry, their life-long opponent.
Uno would think they could see, or
i.-uagi-c iliey saw, the tail of the Union
squirrel sticking out of that hole, and
that they would suspect the honorable
gentleman of plotting to get them into
n false or ridiculous position, hut they
don't s-e it in that light. Perhaps the
Hon. B. F. Perry may not be Irish, but
his programme—we will have no Con
vention, and send good men to td—has
very much' the aspect of a hull of that
breed.
1 lie proposition is absurd, and its use
lessm ss is only equalled by its folly,
i o do one of the things necessary to
reconstruction and not to do all, amounts
to doing nothing. The people will g, ; e
the absurdity of the proposition if the
leader* and Editors do not. But the
lattrr having taken the one step in ad
vance, have common sense enough to
take the next. They need but take the
second now, to align themselves fully
with the reconstruction party of the
South, tor there will be no occasion for
a division of opinion as to the ratifica
tion of a Constitution which is not yet
formed. The only questions before us
now are-first, shall we register? That
is decided by the acquiescence of the do
nothings with the rc-eoiistnictionists in
the propriety and necessity of registra
tion ; and, secondly, shall we vote for a
Convention ? If this is not settled affirma
tively, then the acquiescence of all par
ties in the first is useless, and worse.
The position of the lion. Mr. Perry and
his followers cannot be maintained.
The people will see the inconsistency
and peril of it nnd will lend it no
countenance. The leaders will keep
silent and let things take their course,
and the newspapers, whose profit is in
following, not leading the masses, will
change their tone and abandon their
present uncomfortable and preposterous
position. Accordingly, it n»eds no great
gilt of prophecy to foretell that in a
short time the Augusta “ Daily Press ”
will see side by side with it one or more
of “ the old respectable journals,” ad
vocating the plan of reconstruction
generally and in every particular, and
what is more, claiming always to have
been favorable to it. In short we shall
a!I be “ Brownites,” aud the Ex-Gover
nor will be a marvellous proper man in
the eyes of some of those who so lately
abused him, and the treble B's will loose
their ill savor in the nostrils of all the
purity—all the decency—all the patriot
ism, and all the chivalry patty.

Special Correspondence of the Daily Press.
Letter from Atlanta.
Atlanta, June 10, 1867.
Dear Press: Notwithstanding ihe
stringency in the money market, a large
number of buildings are going up in
this city. The Opera House, which will
cost in the neighborhood of SIOO,OOO
the Masonic Ilall, and the Engine House
of Atlanta No. 1, are nearly completed.
The work of harvesting wheat has com
menced. and from all the surrounding
country come the most cheering reports.
Old flour is being put on the market,
and is being sold, at auction, from $5
to $8 per barrel. It is expected that
wheat will soon go below $1.50 per
bushel. Corn is on the decline. Crops
are generally in fine condition.
The people are in favor of re-con
struction, and are taking the golden
mean in politics—avoiding the Thad.
■Stevens Cliarybdis on the one hand, and
the “ do-nothing ” Seylla on the other
In this section the Kew Era is the able
exponent of the people, and by its bold
anil manly editorials, aud spicy locals
has obtained an extended and extensive
circulation.
A portion of the recent address of
your present Mayor, Hon. Foster Blod
gett, delivered before the Mechanic's
Fire Company, was published in the
Era and has elicited warm commenda
tions from the people—in fact he is free
ly spoken of in connection with the
Gubernatorial office.
The Printers talk of having a fourth of
July pie-nic. On yesterday, M. J. Di
vine, ot the Savannah Advertiser, J. M.
Judge, of Augusta, and J. H. Smith, of
Macon, delegates to the Typographical
Union, passed through here, en-route
for their homes—all duly sober.
The night train, on the Atlanta and
West Point Railroad, has been dis
continued.
The Ladies Ilome Guzelte, one of the
neatest literary sheets in the country, is
being extensively patronised by the
public- It is in able hands and deserves
success. Bob Short.
CROP ITEMS.
We invite our friends to send us brief
accounts ol the growing crops.
The Early County News says corn,
though a little backward, promises
well.
A correspondent of the Recorder,
writing lrom Upson county, says tbe
wheat crops are very good on good
lands. Oat crops bid lair for a good
yield. The corn is growing very last,
but it is small for the season—the same
may be said of the Cotton.
Accounts from Florida are conflict
ing. There is a complaiut of back
wardness on account ol the cool, rainy
weather ; but the editor of the Baiu
brulge Georgian, who has recently vis
ited Lake City, says generally the pros
pects are lar from discouraging. He
reports very ineagre plauting of corn.
Crops in the Mississippi bottom are
being devastated by the worm.
The 'lallahatchian says the cut worm
is destroying both corn and Cotton.
The Voa/iomian refers to the same dis
aster, and advises planters, now that
the Cotton season looks so gloomy, lo
replant all the grounds swept by the
worm in corn.
The Columbus Mississippi Sentinel
says corn was never more promising,
and the prospects lor Cotton are satis
factory. Wheat abundant.
All accounts concur that an enormous
crop of wheat is now ready for cutting
in Upper Georgia and Tennessee.
Ihe Tensas Gazette of the Ist, says
that between the heavy rains and the
cut worm, the crop prospects again look
gloomy. A gentleman who Imd two
hundred acres of corn and Cotton up
and looking well, has lost it all by tbe
worm, and has abandoned his plantation
in despair. Below Oreenville, as lar
down as the coast, it has not. beeti as
yet so destructive, and we hear many
are sanguine even now, of raising part
of a crop, especially at Lake Providence,
New Carthage, Luke St. Joseph,
and some lew pluees back on Tensas.
A writer in the Journal and Messen
ger says that in Jasper county, a good
proportion of land is in corn, and both
corn and Cotton, though backward, look
promising. The wneat crop, which
covered about two thirds the area sown
before the war, will afford an average
yield.
