Labor Paomm or Ahxamsa—In a re

Memphis Appeal, wc learn some facts of a
very encouraging character in regard to the
labor prospects in Arkansas. Mr. S. has
already contracted with a sufficient number
of hands to cultivate bis plantation, and be
fore lie left the neighborhood of Helena, had
applications from a number of good hands,
more than lie could give employment to.—
General Pillow was also making contracts for
the cultivation of his several plantations, and
will there is very little doubt, have a sufficient
number engaged before the end of the year.

supplied hunscll, while other of the old pro

New Ynrl. World presents the case as fol

the govi'inment the means, the material and
men necessary to jvrosecutc the war. They
stood this drain, and met all the demands
made upon them for four lonn years, to an ex*
tcatnevrr betnre known in the history of the
world. All this Wap done to presene the
Union—to prevent cvibdifposed and rebel
lious combinations from taking even a State
out-of the Union. They have seen their cause
victorious, tiul hate rejoiced over the defeat
and overthrow ct'those who would destroy
the nat ion. After submitting to all these sac
rifices to prevent the secession of a,State, a
factum '1'iings up, headed bt §teveDd, Wade
and Sumner, wlio, in (licet, are endeavoring
to show that, instead of preventing secession
by the war, the oncccas of our armies has ac
tually drive® the Southern States ont of the
Union; that the sacrifice of.life ami treasure
for four years was norfor the purpose of pre
serving the Union, but to destroy it. This
is the thuoiy which Stevens is trying to com

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION IN

Some of our contemporaries are parading,
mm oa evidence of Gen. GraOtV liberal view*
towar*U the South. Ilia declaration that all
her representatives should be admitted to
Congreis who pan 23® tie oath. Confine the
representation to that limit, and how many
members would the Southern States have ?
Perhaps not more than a dozen in alL Geor
gia would I*- left entirely “out in the cold,
and the same may probably be said truthfully
ot most of the other States. That is no road
to pacification and union. If the war
an end, let the North give us reason to be^
lieve that she so regards it. The test oath is
an outrage on the Constitution—a palpable
usurpation—and were it constitutional, this
ia no time for the operation of so obnoxious
a measure. It as effectually excludes the
South from representation in Congress as if a
total exclusion had been enacted against her,
for a people can only be represented Ly
agents of their choicer. Compel them to send
those men to Congress whom tliey do not
wish to be there, and you have somebody
else represented, not the nominal constituen
cies. In this case, it is sought to make south
ern members of Congress represent, not the
southern people, but the prevailing senti
ments at the North. Do you call that repre
sentatiou according to the theory of the con
stituHon i Is it a representation consistent
with the rights of a free people ? Are we to
be. treated hereafter by the Government as
friend* and equals, oras aliens and conquered
subjects
We hope the South will never couseut'to
any other representation in Congress than
one of her Ml choice. It is the very essence
of liberty that she should enjoy this privilege,
and those who seek to deprive her of it, are
alike her enemies ami the enemies of free
government. No brave-hearted people shojld
submit to sitch dictation. Better stay out oi
Congress for teu years, than go in on such
humiliating term* The Southern States
would l>e wi-e to remain unrepresented and
patiently await the time when a returning
sense of justice at tkc North shall be willing
to acknowledge them ns equals in the Union.
And at the same time send to Congre
who will carryout their views.
The South 1ms elected to the Federal Leg
islature good and true men, who will abide
the results of the w ar, and stand by the gov
eminent in good faith. They are incapable
of deception, and will net oin honest part in
restoring the era of brotherhood to our di
vided countrymen. She is loyal herself, and
expects them to represent her faithfully
There is no just ground for their exclusion,
and the measure by which such a result
accomplished, is an act of tyranny by a ma
jority that can find no pretext, much leas j
tiffcation, in that instrument which i* the
source of all Federal power.
From the lust lights before us, however, we
arc constrained to believe that tbc majority
in Congress do not represent the majority
ot the people of the North. If the press
and other contemporaneous witnesses be
any indication of public sentiment,a vast ma
jority of the people of that section are tired
of strife, and disgusted with the unpatriotic
mano uvi of politicians to keep the country
in hot water for their own benefit. They are
willing to lot by-gone9 be by-gones, and to
meet the South on equal terms in all respects,
in tbc halls of Congress, and with a cordial
grasp of the hand, welcome them as friends
And brothers. Wc furthermore believe that
before tbc close of the present session, that
majority will sec tlieir true interest and duty,
and, rising in their might, will frown upon
these fanatics and disorganizers. • They can
not do so too soon. Senator Wilson has nl
ready seen tlicstorm in the distance, and giv
en those radical-,Sumner and St< p'uns,to un
derstand that hi* co-operation with the

Mr. Alitor:— If you could convince the
President that the weight of suffering inflic
ted by the thirteenth clause of his amnesty
proclamation falls with greatest force upon
the working classes and the country rather
thfti^ the capitalist, you would do much to
remove the seeming ‘*w'ant of enterprise” on
the part of property holders to which you
rted in a recent article. Capital is not
idle and may 1m* benefitting its possessor as
much iu one shape as in another, but when
used for speculation rather than production
it is misdirected, and instead of benefitting,
becomes seriously detrimental to the best in
terests of the whole country by enhancing
•prices and engrossing products. That, how
ever, is the only means of investment left the
possessor of twenty thousand, dollars or up
wards at the close of the war, and until the
restriction imposed by the President is re
moved, it cannot flow in legitimate, channels
Hence, brick masons, brick layers, plasterers,
carpenters and artisan* of all sorts, with their

weaver and machinists with their supernu

all doomed to idleness ot want, it map be re-^
suiting, as it must, iu ulterior courses that
conduce to anything rather than the general
lfare.
Remove that restriction and the fine op
portunities for building that you mention,
as well us the thousand and one other means
of profitable permanent investment, will be

now' suffering for the necessaries of liie, and
thousands of maimed survivors, call for our
respect and sympathies. In all of the Legis

“ The war is over, and whilst the govern

were maimed in its defence, those of the oth

self to the feelings ot abstract humanity and
private charity. There arc cases in which the
benevolent feelings of human nature arc en
listed, without regard to the causes of mis

impulses of human nature, that these suffer

these claims, and enforce them upon our con

assert themselves, while there are so many

Governor of Georgia, seems to be hailed with

The Governor Elect okOeoroia -What

confessedly the leader, his recent course must

yields graefeully to the decision of president
Johnson, that he shall not. at present enter
upon the discharge of bis duties, and in a let
ter to the Legislature, the tone of which is
admirable and unexceptionable, postpones his
inauguration until the national Executive
shall jmlfflite its willingness that the ceremo
ny should take place. If the newly elected
Governors of Mississippi and some other
Southern States had manifested the spirit ex
hibited by Judge Jenkins, and shown them
selves as anxious to comply witj) tlie wishes
of President Johnson ns they were ambitious
to assume authority they could not exercise,
the work of restoration would have been both
simplified and expedited.

Washington, Dec. 21.—Mr. Howard pre

grounds Mr. Davis is confined, and why he is
not brought to trial.
The Chair announced the following com
mittee on reconstruction:
Fesseuden, Griner, Harris, Howard, John
son and Williams.
Sumner presented a petition of colored «-it-
izeus of Tennessee, asking that the Congres
sional Delegation from Tennessee !*• not re-
ceived till tin* State recognized tho rights ol
colored citizens. Also a petition of white
citizens of the District of Columbia, for the
extension of the right of suffrage to colored
people.
Mr. Howard presented a petition of 3,700
colored citizeus of South Carolina, for such
legislatior as will insure them their political
i rights. Referred to the committee on recon
struction.
Mr. Davis offered a resolution calling on
heads of Departments for lists of persons in

and laid over.
On motion of Mr. Lane, the Committee on
Post Offices was instructed to inquire into
the expediency % of abolishing the fntfiking
privilege, except upon written commica-
tioUs.
Mr. Wilson introduced a lull, which *\ys
referred to the Judiciary Committee, to main
tain and enforce the freedom of all the inhab
itants pf the United States.
Mr. Stewart called up the Senate bill to
secure the freedom of citizens of the States
late in rebellion, and addressed the Senate,
in reply Mr. Sumner's remarks of yestor
day, and controverting, the theory, that the
Southern States are out of the Union and
have been reduced to the condition of terri
tories. He also argued that tiie North was
not justified in forcing negro suffrage upon
the South, \> hilewthey w ithheld political
lights from negroes in Northern State
Mr. Wilson replied in favor of the bill. He
combatted the idea that tlie Democrat it- par
ty is coming into power, either through the
agency of the President or anybody else. It
must have reconstruction, time and raorgar.i
/.ation before it can govern thi- countn
through anybody. He bad no fears that the
President would separate from the party that
elected him, to which he is bound by honor,
by principle and by interest. He has made
no issue with Congress, and Congress had
made no issue with him. I think it our duty
to give the President a manly, generous anil
honest support, to look with hope mm.I «-onti
dence, but to be as inflexible as destiny with
the course of impartial and universal liberty

It has been another losing day to the Rad
icals, and the work of reconstruction of par
ties goes bravely on. Already Congress is
classified tinder three heads. The Adminis
tration party is substantially growing
stronger, and it is predicted by sage political
observers that when the President opens tire
from his reserve of big-guns, , there will be
Jew left to oppose his policy. This is to be
done early in January, beginning with the
use of Executive patronage. Even republi
cans admit that within'JO days a majority of
the Senate will lie on.the side of the Admin
istration. This.is all that will lie needed,
for with a Conservative majority in the Sen
ate, the Radicals in the House will be utterly
powerless for harmful legislation, except to
refuse admission to members from the South

FrNEitAb ok Prominknt C’rn/.h.s —It
hccotMcs our painful duty to announce the
death and hurial of William H. Stilea, one of
our most worthy citizen.**. The funeral ser
vices took place yesterday, and the remains
werp acponuianied to tlieir hed resting place
by many sympadiizing frjenrjH. Mr. Stiles has
fora mimher o*’years directed lji* attention
to the interest of his plantation ir» 0;v
county,, of this State. To h‘
energetic
took, looking to the nnpr
country, w
redound to
Tcunc«i«ee and the Rest of the Southern
States.
The offer to admit the Tennessee delegation
has lost half the effect hoped for by thos
proposing it, from the tardy and halting mat
her in which it was made. The time for M
Raymond to display his determination- to st
justice done, w«n when Horace Maynard
asked to l*e recognized a-j q Tennessee ivpre-
•entutive. lint Mr. Raymond was dumb then.
He did not care to confront Thaddeus St<-
vehs v as he did afterward-. Ii was likewise
within Iris power then to make himself the
Executive mouth piece on the floor of the
House; now it is ouly n sop t* at life i.s oifer-
the President, which the latter cannot ae-
even xv^re he in woine extremity than
likely to be. It is singular how clof©
the lender.* of the present Coiigie.-- make all
their notions of l overnment and Union run
to a parti .oi parallel. To ollei a btateof the
Union the-enjoyment of its right of rcpie-
sentution, i^ thought no higher a matter than
that of playing off ono political advantage
rin. t another. 'The suspicion is positively
forced upon the mind that they count on
bribing the President into an almndonment
of hi general policy, by admitting his own
Mate* to a renre-cntritjon while jcsolntclv ex-
,» v.as» clu
