a DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1874. jpiultj jgnqmm- IOUn H. MAOTIM, • • • Kdito iULl'MHlM. «A » SATURDAY NOVEMBER 14* 1874 Tb» Fourth Congross ioual District of Tennessee whose newly elected Represen tative died the other day, g»vo Porter, the Democratic candidate for Governor, 6,000 majority. Mr. Head had no oppo sition for Congross. Tu Presbyterian Synod of Georgia and Florida mot In Savannah on Thursday, with a large attendance. The Rev. Rob ert Irvine, D. D., of Augusta, was elected Moderator. A proposition to revive or sell Oglethorpe College, at Atlanta, was under consideration on Thursday. The next eesaiou will be held at Cnthbert, Ga. Tn Massachusetts Congressional dol egation ia divided politically as follows: Democrats—Messrs. Thompson, Tarbox, Warren and Chapin—4; Republicans— Messrs. Buffington, Harris, Pierce, Frost and Hoar—5; Liberal Republican nomina ted by Democrats—Gen. Banks; Iude pendent Republican supported by Demo crats—Prof. beet ye. Tu Washington Republican sticks to it that it was Congress, not President Grant, that was rebuked by the peoplo iu the late elections. It puts the propo aition thus: “They say President Grant did it. The trouble was they did not have him on the ticket to poll them through, as they bad in 1872: That') what did it." Of course, belioving this, the Republican thinks it absolutely neces sary to havo Gen. Grant on tho ticket to pull the party through in 1876. No doubt that is also Gen. Grant’s view of the matter. Wm see it stated that the “free love" sooiety in Oneids county, N. Y., is flour ishing, and we hear of no intention by government, State or Federal, to inter fere with it. Now if some one will ex plain to ns why it ia that tho Government of the United States has (lie power aud is morally bound to abolish polygamy in Utah, and yet ncithor tho Federal Gov eminent nor tho State Government of New York can interfere with tho licen tious “free lovo" colony in Oueida, we will bo enabled to solve a problem that pazsles us. Rdsskll County.—Wo learn that the Demderats of this Alabama county foci great confidence in their ability to make snob a showing of frauds, irregularities and illegal voting as will compel tho set ting aside of the late clootion. There is no doubt, they say, that hundreds of ne groes who were not entitled to vote voted the Radical ticket. Soma were not regis tered, othors hail no right to register or vote, and it is beliovd that many voted twice. Iu addition to this,thero was such loosoacKs and irregularity (to say the leant) iu tho kcoping of tho ballot boxes and returns as to invalidate the election where so many circumstances aro sugges tive of fraud iu votiug. Wo believe,from what wo hoar, that tho cloction will either have to bo dccluroil null and void, or the Democratic ticket be declared to be le gally elected. Tub Washington Republican says that some of tho Northoru Democratic papers are alarmod lost tho people of the South, enoouraged by tho results of tho lato elec tions, should resume “their old amuse ment of killing negroos.” We have not aeon tho expression of any such fear in any Northoru Democratic paper that has met our eye. Iu fuct, we aro convinced that tho Democratic papers of the North do not believe that the whites of the bonth kill nogroes for “amusement.' Even the Northern Radicals do not be lieve it, for aftor their papers had, per instructions, run on Southern outrages “until the election,'' many Republicans signified their disbelief by voting with the Democrats. It is time to stop this nonsense about Southern Democrats kill ing negroes. The results of the elections prove that it has been tried once too often. Cannot the Radical party, in view of its certain doom, resolve not to die with a lie in its mouth ? Mob* chicanery is threatened to hinder or retard the reforms which the Demo cratic party U expected to accomplish when the next Congress meets. One prepoaition ia that the present Congress, dazing its three months' lease of power text winter, shall pass Appropriation bills for two years, so as to prevent the Demo crats from cutting dawn the expenses of Gssvarnmec.1. The proposition is a ffcct»n, if not a revolutionary one; aud yea t# have reason to apprehend that it it* njyn seriously entertained aud will ro Caere eToog*r support than the other fao- ti-.urt segge«tM>n§ to which we referred a tsj sw two ago. Bat it is likely to prove TUB PROSPECT* OP COL CUB CM. If you walk down Broad street any morning sod propound the following oonundrum'you will receive as many dif ferent answers as you suk questions: Why does not Columbus succeed more rapidly?" One mau will tell you that “it is because the usury laws aro abolished, and money was drawn from the small but certain profits of legitimate enterprise, like manufacturing, and nsed for purposes of loan and discount at exhorbitant rates of interest. Another mau of good com mon senso will staud at his store door, and rubbiug his chin, contemplatively look out at the spiked teams, in the park like street,audsay,“Wel1,I blame our want of sucoe* s as a city,to the oredit system,for it has impoverished our merchants, crushed out enterprise, forced merchants to get time on their obligations and de stroyed the commercial integrity of tho once truthful planter, on whom we w ore dependent. There can be no success till we can count on the word of our debtors." There is tuuoh truth this, but s lawyer-like gentleman will tell you that Columbus is doing better now- and that “her great draw back has been political; tho reflex of tho oppression from which the whole South has suffered.’’ A*temperance man assures us “one great draw back is the abundance of whiskey (Lank, and uot paid for; aud the large quantities of water left nuusod savo for mill powor and navigation purposes." youth with s jaunty hat sittiug ou a dry goods box which ho stabs with a wicked looking knife, os if he had a particular spite agaiust it, thinks “tho country and city has gone to the d—1 just ou tbo nig gor’s account. He wont work if ho can steal, aud so there is nothing to sell sod everything to buy, and nobody don’t know where in the thunder the money is to come from to get anything, and so n fellow has to ruu his face, you see ?" And he goes on poking his knife into tho box till his soft, white hands aro tore, and his weak muscles exhausted by this physic al expression of indignation. An old bachelor thinks our city is poor bocause “it has ho lnauy bubies aud extravagant women—all non^irodncers, yon know. Why, no town cau win that does’nt main tuin tho balauco of population, We must havo rnoro workers than consnmers. If both classes ho even wo stand still,* if tho coUHtiuiera predominate wo go down, don’t you see ? ’’ This heathen would have ns bo guilty of infanticide in ordor to be prosperous, but somobow most of us would rather have poverty, with the babies, if poverty be a soquoooo. A shrewd mer chant tells ns that “we cannot win till our city obtains such rates of freight us will enable us to compete with Moutgouiery, Macon and other citios, aud that wo must have good jobbing houses, with the ener gy aud push so essential to tho suc cess of such establishments." A who claims to know a thing or two and who has had a desire to emigrate, so loug continued that it has become hopelessly chrouic, says “No city can succeed that dopeuds for support on eve* a reliable agricultural communi ty. No pastoral country cau sustain a city. A city to bo great must havo factories, foundries, mills and workshops. It must have grand avenues for transporting the raw material cheap; and for scattering the manufactured products to the consumers. Columbus has not these facilities, ergo Co lumbus is not a great city, and us I do not think shs evor will be, I propose to take Greeley’s advice and go West—when I get my affairs straightened.” A live, pushing young firm assure ’us “the town is much under tho control of the of the old school who pick their teeth iu long, dark stores and wonder why customers don’t come and patronize them as of yore. These rneu in the natural course of events will pass away, then Columbus will just boom to success.” A newspaper man tells ns daily that “no town can win where busi- men do not advertise and support tho paper, which to the outside world is an index cf the city's prosperity; that foreign capital will not venture where other foreign capital has not auccoodod ; that people who read papers without pay ing for them cau never bo supre’moly great or divinely pure, Ac., Ac., Ac.” Now, in all of this there may be truth, but it is not tho whole truth, nor is it justioe. Never was a city so striokcu as Columbus wheu Wilson’s raid in 1803 left her industries iu ashes, aud her wealth of cotton in flames. Our city has grown iih wonderful vigor, and tho time of her new birth is the true date for her legiti mate ago. No city in tho Bouth has such factories or foundries ; no city iu th« South has shown more solid energy ; no is thero a place that has a more brilliant future warranted by her superb locution and unequalled water power. Tour rail roads now afford us access to the outoi world; besides our river, that is bom*, rapidly improved by tbo Government, uud which iu a few years will give us tho control of the territory to the South. tli uud South road and our cotton receipts will be increased one sixth, and a million dollars added to the trade wealth of the city.

The New York World, calls to recollec tion the facts conoeotsd with the passage of the Kn-Klnx law by Congress, to show how greatly mistaken Mr. 8tephons is in his singular notion that Gen. Grant is only reluctantly executing what he con siders a bad law, simply because it w a law which it is his duty to execute. If there are any laws npon the Foderal stat ute-book the tendency of which is to Htir up strife aud evoke bloodshed, it is the duty of the President to urge theiz repeal under so much of the^Coustitation as says: “lie shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of tho Uuion, and recommend to their con- aideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedientWhat measure so necessary and expedient as the repeal of such legislation os makes Louisiana a stumbling-block to ns at homo and a his sing and a by-word abroad! If it be Grant’s duty under the Constitution to enforce these bloody laws as loug as they aro laws, it is equally his duty uudor tho Constitution to recommend that thoy may be laws no more. Tho Presidential oath is not that I will faithfully execute the laws, and this ouly. The execution of the laws—tho actual patting of the rope at>out the poor wretch’s nock—is but ono part of the Presidential duty, and hence the oath prescribed by the Consti tution does not evou contain the word “laws,* but is that “I will faithfully exe cute the office of President of the United States." It is an integral part of this office to urge the repeal of unjust and op pressive legislation, and iu failing to per form this duty the President not only violntos his duty but makes tho unjust legislation his own. Particularly is this so when, as in Grant’s ease, tho Executive has, so fur from urging the repeal of huish statutes, called vociferously for tho enactment of now dragonades. The 41st Congress came to an end March 4, 1871. The Forty-second Congress met the same duy, and after organizing prepared to ad journ,there being nothing special in band. Following the customary form, howevor, a joint committee was appointed to wait upon tbo President to receive any com munication ho might havo to make, mid from tho report of that committee, as made March 7, 1871, wo tako this: “Tho “President said ho had no communication “to mako at present to Congress, but that “ho may havo some communication to “make in the course of a week, and he “exprossod a dosiro that during this week “no duy should bo fixed for tho final ad journment of tho two Houses." Iu compliance with this request Congross pottered away harmlessly enough ou questions of order and the proper tax on a gross of matches, 'until tho 23d duy of tho month came on. Then the promised communication appoared. It was a Pres idential message asking the passage of the Ku-K!ux bill. Many even of tho Radical mouthers revolted, but tho party lash was applied without mercy and tho bill passed. It is the saruo scoundrel statute under which Federal Marshals were harrying Alabama till Tuesday. It never would have boon passed if Grant had not urged it upon Congress, and yet we are asked to believe that a man capable of calling such a bloodthirsty and disorganizing statute into existence is really executing the En forcement acts in Louisiana out of a pure souse of duty and with tears in his eye! Mosby’a Influence. A special Washington dispatch to the New York Herald relates this instance of Colonel Mosby’s influence with the Presi dent : On Friday last, as has already been stated, Colonel Mosby had a long inter view with the President. He cuuio to call the President’s attention to tho fact that Miss Amelia Jackson, daughter of James W. Jackson, who killod Cotouel Ellsworth at Alexandria, Va., early iu 1861, and who had boon appointed to a position iu tho Treasury Department at Meshy's request, had that day been dismissed be cause she was Jaoksou’s daughter. The man to whom Lee surrendered his army bit his lips at the nniiouuceiuout of Miss Jackson's dismissal. Further explana tion was unnecessary, aud seiziiig a pen he wrote as follows : C. H. Me Carte*, Suin'rintendcnt Bureau of Kn gracing and Printing : Retain Miss Amelia Jackson in the employ of your burean. U. 8. Giunt. The same afternoon Colonel Mostly, accompanied by Mi^s Jackson, callml upon Mr. McCartee at tho Treasury H parttuent, presented the request of the rrosidont, and in the twinkling of an eye Miss Jackson's name, thut morning erased from tho roils, was rewritten upou them Cull cl to orgauUo an Atuociadon to l>o known At- ilie ••Survivor’# A##uciutlon ot ttouledor ulo Soldier* oi tho fcjiuio ot Ucorgla. The undorsigued, soldiers uf the lute army of the Confederate {States, fissured iu their minds that much of the evil consequent upon our lute unhappy war hat* arisen from a demoralization of tho public sentiment by the intrigues of un scrupulous politicians, aud desirous again to infuse into the publio mind and heart such n spirit us we trust will tumble the posterity of (huso who scoured American mdopoudonco and constitutional govern ment in the revolution of 1770, to pre serve the sumo from the spoilatiou of more partisan jobbers in politics. Anxious, iiIho, to organize nu association of the soldies who survived the revolution of 1800, for social aud benevolent purposes, respectfully a»k that each Company of the different Regiments aud lUttalious, of all arms, who served iu tho Confederate army from Georgia, send two accredited dele- ga'es to a Convention, to meet in Atlanta **n Wednesday, the 20th of January, for the purpose of organizing an association to be known as the “Survivor’s Associa tion of Confederate Soldiers of the State of Georgia.” Signed 1\ M.
