DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1874. Sails gnxjmm*. JOHU H. MAIHX, . . • Kc «4.1 TUESDAY NOVEMBER 10, WHAT CAVNEK IT? 1874 The Democrats carried the city of Natchez at tho municipal election la*t week, by a majority of 338. The blacks outnumbered the whites in tho registra tion, which stood f». r *8 to 730, bnt many negroes voted with the whito*. The New Orleans Picayune complain* that the Tax Collectors are beginning to posh matters in the districts which wore devastated by tlio overflow of last spring, and have in some cohos gone so far as to initiate proceedings for the sale of prop erties whoso owners cannot pay. The very name of Butler seems to bo odiots to the peoplo everywhere. There were three Bntlers candidates for Con gress at the elections on TaosdAy last: Ben of Massachusetts, R. R. Butler of Tonnossco, and a Pennsylvania Bntler. All were defeatod. The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) pub- pnblishee a table showing that after the 4th of March next, the Radical majority in tho Bonate of the United Staten will bo only ten votes. It is now twenty-live. Buch a change, wrought by tho oloctionn of one yoar, is a very rare event in our politioa. Attorney Genesal Williams succeed ed in re-electing Hays in Alabama, but at leant twenty Radical candidaten for Con gross were defeated by the indignation whioh the sots of bin agents in Alubainu and Louisiana nronnod. Williams’ blun- dmhus, like Hudibras’, did more execu tion in the roar than in the front. The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) soya that Ron. Hamuel J. Randall is pretty sure to be oither tho now Senator from Pennnylvania, or tho Speaker of the House in tho next Congress. Mr. Randall is one of the Democratic Representatives to CongroRM from Pennsylvania, just re- oleotod, and ban been continuously in Congress longer than any other Domocrat. The action of the Administration at Washington in putting s stop to the law less rampages of Merrill iu Louisiana and Hester in Alabama, wus taken after they had done all the dsmnge that they could do. Tho character of the two men was woll known at Washington, and the Ad ministration cannot therefore shirk the responsibility of entrusting such powers to Much moo. 'Ide Now York Tribune makes n com parison of election llgurcs to show that in on Assembly district of tho city in which the Custom-Houso vote is large, Dix wan extensively swapped oil by the Radicals. He ran more than a thousand votes belli ltd tho Radical candidate for Assembly, who was quite n favorite with tho Custom-House attaches. This shows that many Federal olflce-holders and em ployees opposed Dix because of his elev enth hour declaration against a third term. As soon as the election was ovor in Louisiana, tho announcement eaiue that the sale of the monitors ut Now Orleans had been accepted by the Navy Dopart- mout at Washington, aud they were or dered to be turned over to their pur chasers. Thoso eight vessels, that cost tlio Government $4,400,000, aro now tho property of Hhiekle, Harrison & Co., of Ht. Louis, for tho moderate sum of $<•'.),• 0715. Interested with those parties are N. McKay, of Boston; Thomas Allen, of Pittsburg; aud D. Campbell, of St. Louis. It is stated in lute dispatches from New Orleans that Attorney General Fields has determined to present Gen. Lougstreet and 11. 0. Dibble to the grand jury, on u obargo of etubezzloiootit of funds ap propriated to pay the Louisiana State militia (Kollogg’s troops.) The Attorney General iH a Radical of tho Kollogg stripo, liko Lougstroct and Dibble, aud Ihereforo this proceeding cannot be actuated by party feeling. But we can not bolievo that Gen. Lougstreet is guilty of tho charge of embezzlement. He may, inhiazeal for the Kellogg cause,have lined part of this money in unwarranted preparation for tho defense of the usurper against tho people; but if so, Kollogg is doubtless more to blame thuu LoiigstJeot. titgiiH of the tteiftaoue. It is a oountry saying that winter uc sots in nntii the springs are tilled up. Tho rule hoa Rn exceptions, but is ordinarily oorroct. Our stroums aro noiv low. Here are the llrst days of November, with tho air mild, tho sun warm, and vailed by thoso floeoy clouds which betoken, not rain nor wind storm, but gonial weather. In the early morning we have a crispy at uiospbore, accounted for liko tho frost which lies like unbumished silver ou the grass aud fences and roofs; soon tho sun dispels this cheap bnt unadulterated and matchless sheen, and we eujoy a day in whioh just to live, and move, aud have our being in the full view of naturo, is happiness. The evening brings the silver moon, and the shadows, and a coolness which commands a trifle of tire. We alternate between tho Attractions of the earth and sky, aud the cosy fireside. It in hard to nettle down to the real win ter’s work; the providing for the long cold months is mainly over; but we keep out, as yet, seine of the largest specimens of plants, and wc utmost reproach ourself at midday that we had not takeu better care of others whioh might yet have been iu blooui. Rut the changing seasons bring each their peculiar cares and thei special enjoy in outs. It is better to bo a little early thau anything too late.—1 Vor- denee Journal. Holding Him Even.—A paper ent in Dakota Territory, tho Klk JJorn Meaner, relates tho following story of a fellow who solemnly pledged himself not to drink n drop of liquor either iuHide or outside of a house for two years. Boon afterward he passed a saloon where three of his former boon companions were tak ing their drop in comfort, and ho could not help stopging and eastiug one look of longing within. Cue of them spied him and invited him to join them. “Oh no,” aaid he, “I wish 1 could, but I’ve sworn not to take a drop either iuriilo or outside of a house for two years.” “Oh." says one, “you oau have one drink for all that; we’ll lift you off tlio threshhold and you oan drink hulf inside tho house and half out ” Bo one took hold of each leg mid thus they raised hiui up, while the third filled aud passed the bottle. He took one long drink, and was just drawiug breath for another, when one of bis supporters shifted a little and he shouted “()! hold xno even, boys, my souls iu your hands.’’ VIEWS OF THE POLITICIANS. Every newspaper has of course had its “*ay” about tho results of the elections of last week —their character, causes and effects. Many “interviews” aro also re ported, in which politicians expressed their opinions in a conversational way, and some speeches delivered upon the H-imc subject. Wo propose to notice or copy only a few from sources that may bo considered repreui Unlive. Wo begin with tho President. A dis patch of the 7 th inst. represents hi in as giving his views pretty freoly, and from tbn report wo extract tho following para graphs : Tho President thinks that at tho door of a Republican Congress alone may bo laid tho defeat of tho Republican party. He does not lay much stress upon tho neglect of Congress at its last session to prevent a financial measure which would restore confidence and revive declining trade, for in tho nature of things this was next to an imponsibility. A proper ad justment of fiuauces was not a matter susceptible of a party control, as the different sections of country had divorse interests and divorso views, superior to aud overpowering all mero party claims mid all more party considera tions. Tho President thinks that tho groat element of discord in tho party was rather tho unwise attempt to force upon tho American people tho impracticable and Utopian theories of Senator Sunnier, as embodied in tho Civil Rights bill l*Ht spring. It was authoritatively stuted in thoso dispatches that the President didn’t favor tho Civil Rights bill. It can now bo said that his views in opposition to it have bocomo much stronger by tho re cent elections. He is firmly convinced that tho Civil Rights bid had moro to do with tho defeat of his party than all other causes combined, nod ho has expressed himself iu such a manner ns to loavn no doubt upon the minds of those with whom ho hnd conversed that if tho bill shall he passed at tho next session ho will interpose his veto. Ho is further reported as having ex pressed tho belief that Congress, when it inoetH iu December, enn so act as to heal ull divisions in tho party aud win back tho confidence of the people. Ho does not admit that the third term discussion had anything to do with tho resultH of tho (flections. On this point he is reported as follows : Without renouncing any such idea on his own part, ho said that a careful exam ination of the returns from the differout States showed conclusively that tho poo- ple in rendering thoir verdict were not in fluenced by wild and seiisoless cries on this subject which had filled the air for months past. He pointed to what ho con sidered two noticeable instances in proof of hia assertion. The Bouth Carolina Re publican Con volition hud emphatically pronounced for him for a third term, and its candidate for Governor had been tri umphantly elected in the fane of tho enor mous odds against him. On the other hand, in the Utica District, whore tho lto- pnhlioniiH had always an overwhelming preponderance, Mr. Roberts insisted upon tho Congressional Convention which nom inated him pronouncing ngainst a third term, and Mr. Roberts was defeated. Next comes Vice President Wilson, who has boon interviewed by a reporter of the New York Herald, and expressed opinions quite different from Gen. Grant’s. In regard to the result iu Massachusetts, tho Vice Prosideut laid the blame chcifly upon Bon Butler. Ho said; think lion Butler is tho groat origi nal of the ovil. He insisted against a well-defined and distinctly announced public opinion, and against the protest of tho best firms ill Boston, in putting into tho Golloctorahip a limn wholly unfit for tho otlioo and acknowledged to bo unable to occupy a first-class position of trust; a position to administer which, demanded not only large business foresight but groat executive ability. Bmmions was not tho man to sit in tho chair which even Vico President lUmliu filled with difficulty. The Boston merchants made up thoir minds that mere party politicians without respect to capacity or integrity of charac ter, should not bo paid for election work iu any such way, aud the consequence has been what you soo.” lie attributed to Butler, too, much of the malign influence that has led the Pres ident astray, saying: “Butler has iudaod gono under, llis machinations aro over. He lias run the President, giving very bail ndvico to tbi Executive, and by political intrigue foist ing men into office who were eminently uflt for the positions they occupy, simply to reward the men whom ho had found useful or to give power to men whom ho hopod to use. Amid tho general gloom of defeat thoro shoot up scintillations of joy that the roigu of one man—too much politician aud too little statesman over.” Tho Vice President accounts for tho general disaster to his party as follows : “It is because,” ho replied with empha sis, “the peoplo of America are gottitig sick of mere party hacks and of distribu ting offices of emolument and influence to men who have not only no fitnoss for them, but whoso object is personal emolu ment. The cry everywhere is for states men. Wo are getting to such a pass that WE MUST HAVE INTEOUITY or faco our doom. It is perfoot folly to administer the ullairn of a groat nation in such a holtor-skoltor way that boys and third-rate men nre put into responsible positions. That whole policy is wrong. Boforo we oau have any security for the future wo must adopt the only polioy which is consistent with Republicanism— good men for high positions, integrity and ability above everything else, back neats for small fry atui chairs on the stngo for the solid diguity of tho country. Poli tics have become un intrigue, when they ought to be n science. They are an im mense grab game, and iu the general greed the people get disgusted and let tho elections go by default.” Mr. Wilson differs materially from Gen. Grant ns to the effect of the third term agitation- Ou this point he said : “Oh, that third term matfcor has been very unfortunate aud destructive, 'ihe President has been unwise iu not saying distinctly, aud with all possible emphasis, that under no circumstances can he be induced to stand os a candidate again. A third term is not only without precedent, but is a subject which the American peo ple should trample under foot at once. A third term means a fourth term, aud a forth means oloction for life, and then good bye to our form of government. 1 do not care how good a man is, nor how popular he is, ho ought not to be permit ted to interfere with that tradition of our country which makes it imperative on a man to step out w hen his term of office expiros.” Tho Washington National lie publican chimes iu very harmoniously with Gen. Grant. It says: “Neither will it answer tho purpose to attribute the reverses of the party to tho discussion of the ‘third term' principle. The few lending Republicans whom it succeeded in dragooning into making de clarations against the principle—notably Governor Dix and lion. Ellis U. Roberts —wero quite an badly beaten an those who remained nilenf, while upon the other hand the Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, who was loudly and unsparingly denounced by this same press for declaring that he could see nothing objectionable in a Third term per ee,' wan re elected almost without op position. Tho facta of which these nre illustrations fully demonstrate that the ‘third term discussion’ had very little to do with the recent political overturning.” The Republican maintains that tho “panic” of laHtyeur end the failure of Con gress to do anything to relievo it, together with the cutting down of appropriations, by which many personn were thrown out of employment, wero tho chief causes of tho Radical disasters. It nays of the 43d Congress: “Tho body convened with a two-thirds Republican majority in tho House. Tlicso Representatives woro fresh from tho peo- J flo, whom they had promised all sorts of Inaucial relief. They hud each a plan for bringing something ont of nothing. They wero all introduced and referred and discussed, and the morabers then went home to consult with their constituents and spend the holidays. They returned again fresh from the people, and said they had promised to give them plenty of mon- ey—paper money and cheap transporta tion. “They talked and they talked, and they talked’’—and did nothing elao upon eith-r point but talk. Then thoy passed tho appropriations, and went home to see to thoir ro-eloctiuiiH. Wo thought at the time that thoy shirked many of thoir ro- sponsibili ies, and said so frankly. Tho people do not liko cowards. As wo read tho results of thoso elections they are a rebuke to tbo representatives of tho peo ple for thoir shortcomings. It is tho For ty-third Congress which has boon passing in roviow before the peoplo. It is not the President at ull.” It is also worthy of noto, in this con nection, that tho National Republican stands up for Ban Rutlor ; and wo infer from its allusion to him that the President differs from the Vice President in his estimate of tho groat extinguished ’Radical leader of Massachusetts. Tho Republican says: 'Perhaps if its loaders in Congress had followed tho recommendations of Gen. Grant, by appropriating money for inter nal improvements and the prosecution of the public works, thereby giving employ ment to many thousands of laborors aud encouraging manufacturers by example to do the seine, tho discontent which gave birth to tho revolution would not have arisen. Wo admonished Republican loaders in tho House at the time, that a paralysis of the industries of tho nation would inevitably produce dissatisfaction among the people. General Butler also proclaimed liis disbelief that the country was so poverty stricken as to bo obliged to “pinch hero and starve thoro,” closo up our factories and workshops in many placos, and run others upon short time, thereby produoiog privation and want among oporativos, instead of adding to tho wealth of tlio country by providing them with labor. But our grout leaders, Messrs. Dswun, Garfiold and Foster, in sisted upon cutting down tho appropria tions to tho extent of twenty millions, tho enormous sum of fifty cents per capita of our population per annum, tic and audacious system of robbery ever known among civilized people, and not expect that these wrongs would reaot upon our own prosperity ? Wbat we need is retrenchment in Government expendi ture, reduction in tariff and taxes, econo my and frugality in private expenditure, until production may overtake consump tion. Healing counsels and healing meas ures are noeded. Tho whole spirit of the Government policy is founded on tha illusion of a false prosperity, which could not but break and spread fragments of ruin around us. Everything since tho war has been fictitious. PICTURE GALLERIES. STATE OF GEORGIA. PROCLAMATION. By JAMES M. SMITH, Governor.

Thin involved a stoppage of many of our public works, aud a largo rodiiotion of the Government force, just at tlio very mo- inont whon tlio employees wore least pre pared to nubinit to it.” Tho Bnltimoro American (Repub.) thinks that “Bullerisui” was tho mill stone thnt Blink the party, and by Butler- isui it does not mean tho nets of thnt lender only, but tho general appointment of men to office on account of partisan HorviceB and pliability as party workers. It regards Butler ns the “evil genius” of any party to which ho may tic, and there fore affectionately turns him over to the Democracy (Good Lord, deliver us!) as follows: “General Butler in 18(»1 led tho Domo crat io party to doetrnclion, following it np iu its National Conventions from Charles ton to Baltimore, and hack to Richmond, lie was tho prime mover iu ovory meas ure which led to tho civil war, and when the inevitable result was reached ho turn ed short upon his dupes and seized the sword to aid iu thoir extirpation. If lie regards tho blow he has now given to the Rebublican party as likely to prove fatal, we may look for him at tho next session to be active iu paving the way for a uiastor- ly rotrent into tho Doinocratio fold. lie has proved himself to bo ready for any emergency that will keep his name boforo the conn try, caring littlo whether it is connected with infamy or honor. The Rpeuhlicnn party will tool, iu getting rid of Butler and Butlerism, that it has 'un loaded’ to good purpose. ” Wo bavo quoted onough, wo think, to show thnt tho President and the Radical majority in CongrosH are apt to meet in December in no very agreeable humor, the one towards the othor. Tho Republi can inflationists will be sure to retort that if tho failure to provide relief to tho coun try last winter was the cause of the disas ter, tho President prevented rolief by his veto of tho Financial bill acceptable to Congress and especially to his own party. They will not at ell like his adhereneo to Butler, aud hia stubborn denial that iho third term business had any effect, or his organ's assertion that it is the present Congress and not tho President that bus been condemned by tho people. Bnt we leave these Republican factions to nottlo the question “who did it” among themselves, and now turn onr attention to another quarter.
