DAILY ENQUIRER-SUiS: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1874. ££wquivjcr. JOHSI H. MARTIN, COMJMBVCI, «A. I WEDNESDAY.. .NOVEMBER 85, 1S74. ANOTHER EXTRA. Advertisers should beer in mind that on the 22nd of February, 1875, I propose to issue, for free distribution, an extra edi tion of FIFTY THOUSAND COPIES of the SUN DAY Enquire*—an eight page seventy-two oolutnn paper. Bend in your “ads” be fore ail the space is taken. A. R. Calhoun, Proprietor. A Washington dispatch says: “Re publican Senators and members arriYing here all speak gloomily in their private talk of the future prospeot of theirparty.” —Professor Seelye, of Amherst College, will be the only clergyman in the XLIVth Congress. He is a Doctor of Divinity, and was pastor of the First Reformed Church of Schenectady when ho accepted the Professorship.—Kxc. Mistake. Mr. Felton, of Georgia, is a clergyman, and is said to be a very able and learned one. Thh accession of colored voters to the Demoeratio party continnes in Georgia, notwithstanding the fact that the political elections are over. A colored Democratic Olnb, with thirty-two members, waa form ed in Cnthbert last week, with Harrison Liberty as President, and regular monthly meetings orderod. The probability is that half the voting negroes of Georgia will be organized into Democratic clubs before another general election. An important sale of damaged cotton will be made in Savannah on the 30th inst. It oonsists of about 8,500 bales, damaged on the steamship 8t. Louis, bound from New Orleans for Liverpool, whioh put into the port of Savannah in distress. This sale is worthy of the atten tion of Southern manufacturers; and we give it this free advertising in the hope that manufacturers of mattresses, rope, paper, Ac., may get a supply, instead of letting it all fall into the hands of specu lators for one-half its valno. Auousta is very anxious to have the next State Fair hold on lior grounds, and her papers are actively agitating the ques tion. Atlanta seems perfectly willing, bnt Maoon “has the refusal” for noxt year, and has not yet determined what to do about relinquishing it. Gon. A. H. Colquitt, President of the Georgia Agri cultural Association, informs tho editors of tho Augusta Chronicle, in answer to a letter of inquiry, that the Association is under contract with the authorities of Ma con and Atlanta to hold the Fairs alter nately in one of those cities for a term of ten years, commencing with 1869, and that Maoon must give consent before the next Fair can bo held at Augusta. Louisiana.—The returning board made bnt little progress counting the vote on Saturday, and it may bo a weok or ten days yet before the count is completed. Tho Picayune of Sunday makes the Leg islature more largely Conservative than has heretofore been claimed. It says that “a canvass of the Legislature would re veal 71 Conservatives and 39 Radicals; of the latter about 28 are Administration Radioals, and 11 Independents, who were elected against the will and power of Kel logg. Tho latter gentlemon will certaiu- not be tools of unr quasi Govoruor, whose schemes will find but little voice or favor in tho Legislature." The Fbekdmen’h Bank.—The colored people of Wilmington, North Carolinu, at a meeting hold some time sinco, unanimously adopted the following reso lutions : Whereas, It has beon ascertained bo- vond doubt that gross frauds and thefts have been perpetrated upon tho Nation al Freedmen’s Bank, to the detriment of the lato liberated froodmeu; there fore, Resolved, That it is the senso of this meeting that tho general trustees of the National Freedmen’s Dank have proved reoreant to tho trust reposed in them by the United States Congress and the color ed Deonle of the nation. lUmnofil, That by their unfriendly, inhuman treatment to us in despoiling us of our hard earned savings, they have reduoed us as a people to a great er degradation and want than we will be able to recover from in the uext ten Revenue laws and the Code, and to repeal (Gemmuntoated.] the Ku-klux and Becognixonce law, of Editor Columbia Enquirer-Sun : former Legisturaa, von introduced.

It is a real outrage, that affects their pecuniary interests and re mands the most industrious and pro gressivo among them to tho penniless oondition in whioh they found themselves wheu first freed. Ami yet we may confi dently say that the perpetrators of this outrage will never be adequately pun ished for it. The Government at Wa^h ington—so ready to Bond Southorn white men to tho peuitontiary on the IlimsieRt charge of “intimidation” towards a negro—will not moke any effort to put iu tbe Albany penitentiary the Radical swindlers who have robbed the trusting negroes of tbo South of millions of dol lars. Snoh is Radical protection to tho “wards of the nation.” Made a Democrat by Surprise, Aa incident whioh occurred iu Girard, Ala., the other day, is thoroughly illus trative of negro prejudico and ignorance. At that late eleotion for Justices of that Beat, the negroes were especially anxious to defeat Jfesae Ryder, whom they regar- ded aa inimical to them. But Bydor wai elected, and it so happened that the first ease tried before him was one in which a negro was proseouted, and he looked for litte mercy in a court prosided over by a Democrat. But bo was acquitted, and as the light dawned upon his mind that a court presided over by a Democrat was not a tribunal “orgini/.ed to convict" when a negro was on trial, ho swore that be intended to veto the Democratic tioket aa long aa he lived. THASKNIVINQS. The idea of setting seide one dsy in tbe year in which to return thanks to Al mighty God for hisblessings is very beau tiful, and if properly carried out, the cus tom that has become a law, would result Iu great good to the morals of the nation. To be sore the majohty of the people look npon the occasion of thanksgiving as a time for carouse, and but a small per cent, attends public worship; but, then, only the same per centage goes to church on the Lord’s Day. Bo we presume the whole matter is properly understood at the Great Headquarters, and the Record ing Angel duly credits the whole Ameri can people for its annual professions of allegianco to a Ruler Who can have no successor. As this thanksgiving has become a na tional holiday, it is fit and proper that the President of the ltepublio should an nounce the day, though Congress might pass an act making the last Thursday in November a legal holiday, and so do away with the annual proclamations. Now, we respeet the high office of President, and the request of the Executive makes the observance of the national thanksgiving obligatory on every good eiiizen, whether he voted for the man in power or not. We think the Governor of every State should ro echo the President’s proclama tion and appoint tho same day for thanks giving, whether his politics or individ ual prejudices accord with those of the administration or not. Indeed, any other course on the part of a State Gover< nor betokens a narrowness of mind and a want of broad charity not at all consist ent with the high office, nor generous culture, supposed to be essential to a man who stands at the head of a great State. Governor Smith, of Georgia, is, we think, a good man, and we have given him credit for strength, but Governor Sm tb, of Georgia, betrayed an nnox- pected littleness when he exercised the prerogative of sotting aside a special day of Thansgiving for Georgia, and thus ne cessitated every law-abiding citizen's doing the unusual thing of thanking God one Thursday for tho political success of a party, and then thanking Him in a general way the following Thnraday for any favor He may have ex tended to us outside of nis special inter, fe once in behalf of the Democratic par. ty. Had Georgia been in a bad fix, and had the recont elections rosulted to her in a mighty and nnexpeeted victory, we might excuse the special thanksgiving proclamation, by attributing to the Gov ernor a momentary religious phrensy not usually exhibited by State Governors, but the tendoncy of whioh we think it would be eminently wise to foster, with the hope that the Executive aotion would make religion popular, and so extend its benign influence to officeholders. But Governor Smith had no snob exouse for his special thanksgiving, and though we have read over, and parsed over, his religions proclamation setting aside last Thursday as the proper time for Georgians to worship, wo fail to see anything in it but an unexpected evidence of weakness?, and a desiro to exercise his authority by appointing a time for Georgia's prayer, calculated to shout that Georgia has no particular interest in uniting in prayer with tbe rest of the Union. Though if the Governor thinks party succoss bo the only thing for whioh wo ought to thank God, he could, by lookiug beyond the confinea of Georgia, boo that Providence has not oonfinod blessings of this kind to our State, for Massachusetts is blossed with a Dem- oratio Govornor as well aa ourselves, and Massachusetts will thank God to-morrow. To be snre Governor Gaston is not yet in office, and Govoruor Smith is, bnt then we in Goorgia might lean a little heavier an our prayers in view of this gratifying fact. We can do no work in the way of get ting out a paper on Thanksgiving day—we moan the national day, not tbe Governor's In the first placo our feelings are in favor of the national day, though we religiously obsorvod tho State’s, and again wo can get no news, for all the telegraph lines will observe tho day and no dispatches will be sent us; so that even if we sympathized with tho rights of Governors in the mat ter of Thanksgiving, tho suspension of business on tho national day would force us to issue no paper. * Wo ure sorry Govoruor Smith acted as he has, and we are only reconciled by the hope that the Domocratio officers wo thanked God fuy last Thursday, may do their duty in answer to onr prayors as Christian statesmen, and that religion may bocome as popular iu Goorgia on weok days as it is on Sundays, though the hope, if realized, would by no means in- duoe thinking tuou to believe that Geor gians aro luore religious than other poo. pie, or that there will be a special section of the New Jerusalem set apart for them, or even their Governors, on account of their past godliness. O. Alabama loegtalnture Monday, 23d.—Many new bills were in troduced iu the Seuate, on tho call of tho Districts. A number of them wero amendatory of the Code or Revenue laws.

All the above were referred. A joint resolution for the appointment of a committee to investigate the charges made by Charles Hays as to outrages, Ac., was amended by instructing tho commit tee also to inquire into the distribution of Government bacon for political effect, and then referred. A determination to expedite the busi ness of the session and rednee expenses is still manifested by the Demooratio members. ALABAMA NEWS. —There are 126 prisoners in the jail at Mobile; and the law whioh releases thieves “on their own recognizance” is force yet bnt will soon be repealed. —Wm.

Watkins 480. —The Opelika Times says: “We learn that a great maoy farmers arouud here are raising their hogs this year. This is a move in tho right direction. Our farm ers never hope to be independent as long as they look to the West for our provis ions.” —Commissions were issued on tho 19th inst., to the Judges elect of tho Supreme Court. Hon. H. C. llrickel, being in of fice and re-eleoted, becomes, according to the rule heretofore observed in that tribu nal, the Chief Justice, and tho new J udges, Hon. A. R. Manning and T. J.

Their term of office is six years. —Eight or nine oounty Councils of tho Patrons of Husbandry of Alabama havo recommended to the favorable considera tion of tho Legislature a plan for secur ing immigration, proposed by Mr. C.

Some of the stolen goods were found in his possession, and he con fessed to the stealing.

He said that he killed him for his money, of which he got $60. —Wo learn from the State Journal that Gov.

As to the rest of the letter, I prefer to quote his own language. In hia letter of Hard, he says: “First, I have no where my article indicated that any improved lot (italics my own) held by the Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing Company, B. L.
