DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1874. ^dailxj < gnquim\ JOHN If. MARTIN, - COLlinillK* UA.I TUESDAY NOVEMBER 17, 1871 The Savannah Advertiser of Saturday mentions a rumor of tbo failura of tbs firm of Clnis. li. Fowlor A Brother, load ing rice dealers in Now York, Charleston and Savannah. Those of our readeri who had to buy seed rye this fall, no doubt wondered at the high prioo thoy had to pay for it. It was brought about by ono of tho Chicago “ootnera” that so grootly derange tho trade of tho country. It is said that the ring mado $70,000 on this corner in rye. Evxnv report made concerning the Freedmen's Bank represents its condition to be worse and worse. It is now said that the collections so far made will not pay more than 8 per <*ent. of its indebted ness, and very little encouragement is givon for the expectation of any oonsid- erable addition to this paltry installment. The South Carolina election resulted in tho triumph of the Chamberlain Radicals by a decided majority, though it was not one-third as largo as Grant’s in 1872. Chnmberlain's majority is nearly 14,000. The Senate consists of 22 Radicals and 11 Democrats; the House of 70 liadioals and 43 Democrats. This is the first time since “reconstruction” that the Democrats have bad one-third of the Legislature. We be lieve that it is settled that tho Congress men are all Chamborlain Radicals except Maokoy in tho Charleston District—he is a Radical of the Greone faction. Bo Mote It Be.—President Grant is re ported an declaring the other day that there shall be no moro proscription, with his consent, on account of the rebellion. —V. r. Herald. If this means simply that President Grant favors tho relief of all persons on whom political disabilities are imposed by tho 14th Amendment, it amounts to very little, as there are probably not fifty per sons in the South now disqualified by that Amendment, and their relief is a question of timo only. But if it means that Pro-i- dont Grant will no longer suffer the rights of States and citizens to bo invaded “on account of (ho rebellion”—if it means that ho will rogard tho States of the South and their citizens ns possessing tho same political rights os tho Btatos and people of tlio North—if it means that such usurpa tions as Kellogg’s and such tyrannies as Merrill’s, Hosier’s and Gilletto’s are no longer to be permitted in the South—the announcement means a great deal and will be recoivod with much satisfaction by tho people of this part of the Union. Abkanbab.—The new political trouble in Arkansas is about this: Smith, now claim ing to bo Governor, rau on tho tioket, as Lioutonaut Governor, with Baxter, in 1872. IIo and Baxter were declared oloct- od. Both were Radicals at that time. Subsequently Baxter sided with tho Lib erals or Conservatives, uud aided in the passage of tho bill for a Constitutional Convention. That convention framed a now Constitntion, which tho people rati fied, and in aooordaneo with this now con stitution Garland was elected Governor, a fow weeks ago. Tho Radicals, who had changed front and gone to tho sup port of Brooks as tho Governor legally elected in 1872, dispnted the legality of tho proceedings by which tho convention wna called, and would have nothing to do with tho election under tlio now constitntion. Thoy contend that Brooks was tho right ful Governor, and that tho constitution of 18(»8 remained in forco. When, there- fare, Baxter retired the other day to give place to Garland, Smith (who had boon “lying low'” during the previous conflict) suddenly camo to the front, claiiuiug that Baxter having rosiguod or retirod, ho (Smith) was tho rightful Gov ernor. Ho and his partisans now call upon the Fedoral Government to do sub stunt mlly what Brooks vainly askod it to a fow moths ago, for it is ouly by recog nizing Brooks as tho rightful Governor whon tho Convention was called, that tho regularity or legality of that body can bo consistently quistionod. Louisiana.—Tho New Orleuus papers of Huuduy advise us that Kellogg's Return ing Board coiuntoucod tho cauvass of the ©lootiou returns on Saturday afternoon. They oanvassed a portion of the vote of New Orleans on that duy, and thou ad journed to Monday. Tho papers say that the couut will not ho concluded until Wednesday. Tho peoplo are becoming very impatient of the delay resorted to. They boliove that hoido trick or fraud is intended. Thoy have intimation that an agent of Kellogg has gone to Washington to consult Gen. Grant and Attorney Gen eral Williams as to tho support whieh the Federal Administration will give to an other usurpation by tho Kellogg party, and they vcheineutly declare their pnr- poso to resist any imposition of auothor bogus government upon them. We copy tlio following dispatch as a sample of the declarations by the Conservatives : Spool nl to tho Ballot In.] Shbkveport, November 14. — The Shreveport Times to-morrow will coutaiu on editorial taking ground that our people dosiro uo representative on the Returning Board, nud uo concessions from Kellogg; that wo have in tho count of votes ut every polling place in the State the same evidence of the result of tlieulootiou that the people of other States have, aud tho Board should understand that the same results must he decided or their lives will i)uy tho forfeit. It says the people of North Louisiana huvo implicit confidence in those of New Orleans, and advises the people of the parishes to hauish all de feated candidates whom the Board may couut iu. Intense excitement prevails throughout Northwest Louisian, aud the people will be prompt to oarry out the programme of tho Times. Couriers are cons'autly arriving from tho country and the neighboring parishes to learn the ac- tion of the Board. Our people will stand by New Orleans in any extremity. PRECINCT VOTING. Tho Rome Courier has a sensible arti cle ia favor of A law reqniriug all men to vote in the precincts or beats in which they live. We heartily seeond this mo tion, as the best plan for preventing much illegal voting as well as many inconven iences or difficulties that occur on election dnys. The placo for a men to vote is where he is best known—whore he will not be challenged if his right to voto is clear, and where, if ho is not qualified,his vote will be most apt to be excluded. It will also be a check upon repeating, of which much complaint is made of late years. Over in onr neighboring State of Ala- dama, each party is accusing the other of frauds such as those mentioned above,and the existing election laws afford facilities for the commission of such frauds, which would be avoided by an act requiring men to vote iu their own precincts. On the day of the late eleotion in Alabama, the negroes iu the two adjacent counties of Russell and Lee massed at two or throe voting places in each county, in stead of voting in their own precincts, and from this congregation arose compli cations of which complaint is now made, as well as some conflicts at the polls. Sev eral hundred nogroos living outside of the beat gathered in Girard, and as soon as the registration office was opened they marched up to it in solid phalanx, with drums boating, and crowded every one else from the place. We know that wbito citizens, being enable to get to the office in tho morning,gave up the attempt for the time, wont off to attend to thoir business, and waited until most of the voting was over before they registered. But some whites, tired of waiting for so many ne groes living in other bents to register, crowdod iu to get down their own names, and thns, at the risk of a conflict, wore the negroes from all parts of tho county prevented from monopolizing the regis tration at tbo Girard box. This would have boon obviated by a law restricting voting to tho beat of the voter's residence, Auothor complication grew out of this negro massing in Girard. Tho several boats had to elect Justices of tbo Pouco on tho day of the general election, and of cunrHO no man could givo a legal vote ontsido of his own bent for a Justice for the beut. But tho ignorant nogrocs from other beats voted for the two negro can didates for Justices in Girard, and appa rently elected them. When tho votes were cnnvasHod at Beale, however, it found that tho Gonaoivative candidates had a majority of tho legal votes oast for Justices—that is, cast by voters living in tho beat—and the Conservatives have ac cordingly been declared eloctod. No donbt some ignorant negroes regard this as an “outrage” ou thoir rights, whon tho truth is, tho only outrage was committed by tho white office-seekers who persuaded the negroes from other precincts to mass at Girard. In tho conuty of Lee, tho negroes liv ing in the Browneville boat, opposite this city, went to Opelika to vote, aud Senator Spencer, according to a dispatch which wo copied the other day, represented at Washington that tho largo white majority at tho Brownovillo box was ovidence of fraud or intimida tion, whon in truth it was due to tho fact that tho negroes, under tho advice of men like him, ubamloned the beat and went elHowhore. No doubt many Georgia ne groes accompanied them to Opelika, for a Browneville nogro was no bettor known there than one from Columbus. Another complication arose from their going to Opelika. Thore were so many negroes there—several thousands in all—that tho box regularly aud legally opened to ro- ccivo the votes was considered insufficient, and another was illegally opened at Ope lika, at which only negroes voted. This illegal voto was of course thrown out, and thereupon tho Radicals raised another outeryof “outrage.” Hud they permitted the negroes to voto in their own boats, there would havo been no such crowd at Opelika, and ono box would have been sufficient. There can bo no good reason giveu for allowing a man to vote away from his own preoinct polling place, and the greater tho inoentivo or disposition to commit fraud in voting, tho strongor is the reason for confining voters to their own precincts. Men nud parties really wishing to preveut frauds ennuot consistently object to a law which will ho moro effectual than any thing else in the prevention of such frauds. We hope that precinct voting will bo established by law in both Georgia and Alabama. GEORGIA NEWS. —Romo had received 7,050 bales of cot ton np to Saturday. —84.

[Communicated ] A. R. Calhoun, Esq., Proprietor Colum bus Enquirer-Sun : I have requested yon, at the cost ot some labor, to publish an article on a sub ject which more directly affects the inter ests of the city of Columbus than any other question which 1 as arisen during my residence here, a period of 25 years. It in particularly imptortant that it should be published at this time. We are on the eve of a city election, and tho views of the candidates on this subject should be known. The next Council may secure a sourco of revenue that in a few years will pay the interest of the public debt, and in the course of time discharge the princi pal. If you will publish the article, with this note, I will pay for it as an advertise ment aud depend on its being refunded by the citizens, whose interests are in volved. If you decline to publish it as a communication, or as an advertisement, accompanying the publication with this note, please return me the artiole, and I will endeavor, through the Atlanta papers, to have tho citizens of Columbus advised of the important rights now imperilled. Yours, respectfully, R. J. Moses. BANK OF BBUN8WICK, USE OF ALFBED COL QUITT, VS. WATEB LOT COMPANY. Editors Columbus Enquirer : In your statement of the above ease in Sunday’s issue, you make an error which 1b calcu lated to cause nnnecessrry alarm to the stockholders in the Eagle and Phenix Mann factoring Company, and to have a very injurious effect in deterring persons from invosting who might wish to embark in manufacturing on the water lots adja cent to the city. To read the report of the case one would suppose that the titles of tho Water Lot Company of the city of Golnmbas iu the water lots and water power, was the question decided against by Judge John son, whilo tho contrary is exactly the fact. The Water Lot Company was the defend ant in exeention. I represented tho plain tiff and had the property levied on as the property of the Water Lot Compauy. Tho Eaglo and Phenix Mannfaotnring Company claimed the property,and claim ed further that they did not hold either from the Water Lot Company,or as tenants in common -with the Water Lot Company, or as purchasers claiming by, through, or under any person who held titles from the city of Columbus! but that they held under tho title of Jnsephus Echols, and that they had held under that title advers- ly, publicly and exclusively for seven years, and, therefore, that they had a title in foe by prescription (and if so they held free from any limitation or condition) and that thoir title was good against the city, tho Water Lot Company, and every one except the State or persons claiming the title who were under a disability to All that the eonrt decided that tliay did not hold ad versely, and that if the judgment bad not been paid off, the property was subject as the property of the defendant in execution, “the Water Lot Company.” The jury found the property subject. That is to say, that it was the property of the Water Lot Company. TUB CITY OF COLUMBUS. The city of Colnaibas sold this property originally to John Howard; he trans ferred parts of it to Carter and others ; they became by act of the Legislature ‘tho Water Lot Company.” Howard, the Water Lot Compauy, and all who claimed nnder them, hold the property subject to certain important conditions attached to tho deed of conveyance by the city. One is, that a canal to convey the water of the river for tho purpose of manufacturing should be built by the year 1848, so as to afford a sufficiency of water power to each of the lots granted, thirty-seven in all, extending from the Muscogee Factory, which is No. 1, to lot 37, near the lower bridgo. This has not been done, and by tho condition of the deed made by the city the whole property reverted to the city iu 1848. Another condition, which, however, has not been violated as yet, was as to a way being kept open betweeu the river aud the Alabama and Fontaine ware houses, twenty-five feet wide. Another condition, not yet violated, is that the owners of said lots should never build a bridge, free or toll, anywhere on the pro perty granted; this is a very important reservation by the oity. If tho Eaglo and Phenix Manufacturing Company had succeeded in establishing & title by prescription, they would have held this property free from all the condi tions imposed upon the grantees by tho city! They conld finish the canal or not, as they pleased. They conld build a toll bridge or a free bridgo anywhere between the lower and upper bridgo, unless tbo city has, for Homo other reason, obtained an exclusive right. This question I have not exam inod. They eonld stop tho 25 feet right of way reserved, so far as they are restrained by any limitations iu the deed. They could use the property for auy other purpose ns well as manufacturing, for thoy would hold independent of the deed. One objeot that the city had in requir ing its grantee to build a canal within five years that would supply water power to thirty-seven lots was that water power would then l>e so cheap that capital would bo induced to embark in manufacturing, and thereby the city revenue from taxa tion would bo increased to compensate the city for giving away this invaluable birth right of tho citizens of Columbus; and tho grant never would have been made to any company to supply water power to a few lots as bus been the case, thns en abling the owners of tho water power to limit the number of lots and either re ceive an exhorbitant price for them, or monopolize manufacturing at this point. Why was the title of the Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Company not sus tained? Simply because they had not publicly and exclusively held possession of these lots for seven years. They have now given the most public notice possible that they do so hold’, they have, asserted it iu your Courts: the prescription Inis now commenced to run and if it continues for a few years more the Eagle and Phe nix Manufacturing Company will hold a good title against all the world exoept the State, and perhaps some minor chil dren of the Honorable Walter T. Col quitt, deceased. WHAT IB THE BSMKDY ? It is very simple; part of the iota are now claimed by the Eaglo and Phenix Manu facturing Company, the remainder by John J. Grant, on which remainder the Eaglo and Phenix Manufacturing Compa ny holds a mortgage. All that the city has to do ia to require these two parties to acknowledge nnder hand and seal property authenticated— “That they hold tho property snbjeot to tho same conditions, limitations, restric tions, rights and reservations to the city as the said property was held by John H. Howard, Josephus Eohols and the Wa ter Lot Company.” That stops proscriptive title. Nogleot it and every day the prescriptive title is perfecting itself. To claim a reversion or forfeiture of the title to the oity would be bad policy, not unmixed with injustice; bat to require tho holders of these lots to finish the canal down to lot 37, so as to bring all these ldts into market, would be jastand wise. Its effect would be to cheapen the water power aud enconrage small manufactu rers, by giving them a water power within their capacity to bay. Neither the original objeot of the grant or or grantoo was speculation. John Howard was a liberal, public-spirited oiti- zon. His object was to SAve himself and utilize for the citizens of Oolainbus, at a cheap rate, a water power that was wast ing itself. For any other purpose no pahlic-spiritod citizen ought to ask it! For auy other purpose the Mayor and Council would bo false to their trust to grant it! If the Eagle aud Phenix Manufacturing Company and John J. Grant don’t think it will pay to complete the canal, so as to famish water power to the thirty-seven lots then let them return the water privileges to the oity, let the oity pay the present holders a reasonable compensation for the dam aud canal—duduot a fair equivalent for the water privileges used by the factories now owned by tho claimants—and then manage the water power so as to bring its use down to so low a charge that small manufacturers may be encouraged by lease or purchase to erect manufactories and increase tho business and revenue of tbo city. Deal fairly and liberally with the present holders, bat see to it that either thoy or the city supply to the thirty-seven water lots a full supply of wator-powor, according to the conditions of the doed, and according to the enlightened policy that indaoed the asking and making of this munificent grant. Whether the city is or is not now pre pared to finish the canal, if the present owners aro jiot willing to do so, there is no reason why tho oity had not as well own tho water-power as others who may refuso to utilize it until it will pay them a good interest to do it. Booh was not the object of the grant. The city had better bnild the canal on the twenty-two unimproved lots and give them away to persons who will bnild fac tories, or loose the wator-power to me chanics of limited means, than longer al low this source of woalth to flow by them unused.
