GEORGIA ENTERPRISE WILLIAM L. BEEBE, Editor cov {ng7o : n <fa. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2.1, IS6S. Ttjk I’ll ESI 1 1 E NT. HO It AT IQ SEYMOUH Os NtGv York. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, FRAN K P • iB Li AI U Or Missofri. CHANGING THE TICKS fa The reported proposal ol the N. \. World, for a ebange of Democratic candidates on the Presidential ticket, has elicited a storm of con demnation from the Democratic press iti all quarters. Indeed, while we are loth to enter tain the thought, there is strong apparent evi dence that the proposal originates in treason to the Democratic cause. The nomination was approved unanimously by tlio National Con vention, and it is rather presuming even in the great World to propose to discard them. Our candidates represent our principles, and if those selected will not command popular support there are no other Democrats who will. But there is really no reasou to aps prehend the defeat of our ticket as it stands. Let every Democrat do V* duly, and the reign of Radicalism is at an end. Another such victory as that on the 13th will be the ruin of that party of destruction. Let us hear no more whining about polic;/, but every Demo crat work for the triumph of true priori pie. — Then all will be well. WHAT OF IT T The ardor of enthusiastic Democrats received a considerable check last week when it was found that the oleetions of the 13th were car ried by the Radicals in the four States which voted on that day. What does this prove ? Simply that too much waa expected by those ardent friends of liberty 7 who had beard the heavy blows inflicted on Radicalism in the late elections there, and suffered their wishes to mislead their judgment into hoping for the total overthrow of that jmrty of ruin at once. This was not an unnatural error for the suffer ing Southern people to fall into. The mystery to them Isas been to see the intelligent people of the North held so long under false teaching concerning the real sentiments of our people; hence, when the clouds of falsehood began to he dissipated there they expected the light to be clear without the necessary time for re action. The result on the I3fh is more cheer ing than might have been anticipated. Radi cal money was lavishly expended to control the result, and yet, in all sections their major ities have decreased, so that they certainly have nothing to exult over in their victory, hut another such victory will be their ruin. Then, away with grumbling ! The field is not lost. If the people are properly aroused the victory is safe for Seymour and Blair in November. But, if again Democracy is defeat ed it is idle and puerile to give up in despair. Principles do not die when crushed ; they rise with the overwhelming force of accumulated truth, and sweep to inevitable destruction whatever opposes them. Our brethren in the North are not disheart ened, they see the situation more clearly than wo can, jet they speak brave words of cheer for the encouragement of the timid. Even if the worst of our fears should be realized, we only aggravate the evils hv anticipating them. If the country is doomed to another term of Radical rule, there will he satisfaction in the consciousness of having done all in our power to avert so dire a calamity. But the result is as vet by no means settled. A determined ef fort on the part of the people will yet drive the Radicals from power in the national Capital. This result accomplished, the beneficial results in the form of peace and material prosperity can scarcely be estimated ; but, even failing to carry the election for Seymour, wc can with out doubt, control the local affairs of Georgia, and take our natural position as an unchange ably Democratic State. Our cause is just; and,however powerful the combinations against it, in the end it must prevail. Courage and perseverance arc invincible to all the powers of evil. THANKSGIVING. Thursday, November 2f)th, is designated by the President of the United States as a day of National Thanksgiving. The people would wore acceptably praise God by heeding the Divine injunctions “ Cease to do evil; learn to do well,’’ It looks like irony in the present condition of our people to appoint a day of thanksgiving. Better be clad in sack cloth and ashes, in token of mourning for the deso lation of our country. But, while honest men mourn over tl»e ruins of our once favored land, it may be well for the Radicals to give thanks, and for their use the following litany is sub mitted : “ Our father who art the devil, we thank thee for the terrible works of hatred and bloodshed which thou hast inspired in our land 5 we praise thee for the misery and dis tress which thy scheme of Radicalism has in flicted on the whole jicople ; for the musical wails of the widows and orphans with whom our country is tilled ; for the astounding vil lany of thy servants who rule us now ; and for the subversion of the Republic of Washington and the establishment of a Congressional oli garchy, whereby the people are ground down with unparalleled taxation that their oppressors may riot in luxury. For these and the thous sad other glorious results of Radicalism which thou hast been pleased to Grant us, we would give thee thanks, both now aud evermore, until thou shalt receive us home to thv warm em brace.- ’ And let all the Radicals say, Amen. The violent deaths in New York city aver, age one thousand |>er annum, and the deaths resulting from disease, but investigated by the Coroner, amounted to about one thousand more. The fees aione paid to the Coroners of that city amount to twenty-six thousand five hundred dollars every year. From the.New York Express, Oet. 'J. Peri tons precedents. We endeavored to show, yesterday, what a perilous experiment it would be, on the part of the people, to intrust the aduiinisUtluH* of the Government t»> a man like Grant, wholly inexperienced in the details of civil govern ment, and prone, so far as any one may judge of his jsditical leanings, tor be precisely w hat ever the cunning demagogues, into whose hands ho must inevitably fall, inav see lit to make him. In ordinary times such an expe riment would be a thing to be deprecated— but under the circumstance* in which mir dis tracted country is now placed, it would be the bight of folly—nay, madness itself. Hence, we repeat again and again, this is no time for such experiments, with now and untried men, —and especially not with men whoso only re cord is that which has coine of civil war, and of an era in American history which no lover of his country can ever contemplate save with feelings of anguish and regret. But. apart from the perilous experiment of thus placing the administration of the Govern ment in the hands of a man who most, from the absolute necessity imposed upon him by his personal and political surroundings, become a mero military dictator, certain grave prece dents are to ho established by his election, of which it is well not to lose sight. Some of these may be summarily 7 set forth as follows : The election of Grant, with the retention in power of the Radical party, will be n ratifica tion by the jieojilo of all the violations of the Constitution which have marked the conduct of that party from the start. It will be a precedent for establishing gov ernments of force, in spite of the will of the people, in pnrts of the eonn'trv where Radical ism and Radicals are unpopular. It will be a precedent for making this gov ernment, thus, not a government of and for the whole people—but only for a portion—it may bo n mere beggarly minority even. If substantially, a popular endorse ment of all the audacious and shameless violas tions of law 7 of which this Radical party have been guilty during the last seven or eight years including— Arbitrary and illegal arrests. The seizure of persons and papers without color of lawful authority. The substitution of military for civil law in time of peace and in sections of country where there is no resistance to the govern ment. The destruction of the liberty of the press. The denial of freedom of elections. The closing up of the courts, the suspension of the habeas corpus, and the denial of justice to the people, where justice was due. The withholding of all parliamentary rights and privileges from minority representatives in the Federal Legislature. The establishment of a financial policy which increases the wealth of the rich and tends to make the Door man a mendicant. Which lays the labor and industry of the nation under a fearful contribution, for the benefit of wealthy manufacturing and banking corporations. Moreover it will be an indorsement ot The High Tariff Swindle. The shameful extravagance in the public expenditures, and An opening of the door for still heavier bur dens of taxations, with— ' The multiplication of the army of internal revenue collectors, who are eating up the substance of the country, like the locusts of Egypt. The maintenance of a groat standing army in the Southern Statess, at an average cost, each man, of §2,000 per annum— to come in due proportion, out of the pockets of the workingman, the mechanic, the salaried clerk, and the poor sewing girl, alike. These arc some of the precedents, financial and economic, which the election of Grant will be used to confirm and establish. There are others of even a graver character, affecting our social and political status, which must not be overlooked. Among these are— The enforcement of negro suffrage. The inauguration o f a war of races, with The conversion of ten States of the Union into so many Yankee San Domingos, Ilaytis, and Mexicos. Now, be it borne in m'ud, we do not speak of these as grievances in the future tense. They arc things past and present —tilings which, and the effect of which, the Democratic party ai e solemnly pledged to redress, and to prevent the recurrence of, but which, should Grant be elected, will bo received as Radical precedents warranting the repetition of them in future when ever the interests of the demagogues in power with him as their leader shall point that way. It remains for the people, then, to sav whether they are ready to open the door to such precedents, whether they are ready to torn their hacks on the bitter experiences of the past, and to give anew lease of power to the bad men and the wicked party that have come so near making a total wreck of popular liberty, constitutional government, and of ev erything, in short, for which our revolutionary ancestors thought it worth while, at the cost of a seven years' conflict, to throw off the British yoke. What Grant’s Election Means. Wendell Phillips, the great Radical loader, says that “Grant's election melts the millions into one indivisible whole, calling us to stamp on it what legend we will.” In other words. Grant's election makes negro equality univer sal throughout the United States,abolishes nil distinction on account of color, opens to whites and blacks alike, without discrimination, the common schools, hotels, restaurants, places of amusement, and establishes the negroes as a part of the law making and governing element of the country. We may stamp on that fusion of the millions of whites, ami blacks into one indivisible whole, “Amalgamation,” “JVlon grelism,” or whatever legend wc will, so the fact of fusion is made imperishable. And that is really the philosophy of the Radical recon struction policy. Wendell Phillips under stands it thoroughly. An Extra ot diunry Exhibition-—A Patent Safety I'offlu—A Mail Buried Alive aud Resurrects Himself. A German gentleman named Tester, a resi dent of Newark, recently obtained a patent for a Safety Coffin, designed to provide a way of escape to those who might be burled (Hiring suspended animation. This invention consists of a coffin constructed similar to those now in use, except that it is a little higher, to allow of the free movement of the body ; the top lid is movable from bead to breast, and iri case of interment is left open, with a spring attached for closing tie- same, lower tiit> bead is a re ceptacle for refreshments and restoratives. The important part of the invention is a box two feet square, resembling very much a chimney, with a cover and ornamental grave work on the top. Tills box is of siitlieient length to extend from the lieiad of the coffin to about one foot above ground. The cover is fastened down by a catch, an 1 cannot ho unfastened from the outside. Just below the cover is a hell with a cord appended, which, upon being pulled, sounds an alarm, mid at the same time a spring throws the cover from the “ chimney box." Then, if the person on the Inside have sufficient strength, be or she can take bold of a rope suspended from the top of the chimney box, and with the assistance of cleets, ascend to the outer world ; or otherwise the individual Can ring tlio bell for the sexton to conic and assist him out. Mr. Vestcrgave an exhibition of the working of this invention by being bu ried, and, after more than an hour's interment, resurrecting himself. The gravediggers hav ing excavated a hole six feet deep, a black coffin with silver trimmings was placed upon two supports over it- Mr. Vaster came forward and took his posi tion in the coffin, tlio lid of which was placed over him, at which time he was greet-d with many an anxious and jocular “good-bye..’’ The coffin was lowered to the bottom of the grave. The “chimney box” was then set down over the coffin, over which wnncrivreatLis ‘of flow ers had been strewn. The grave diggers set to work with a will, and, in fifteen minutes, Mr. Vester was effectually buried, with at least four feet of earth between him and daylight. After a lapse of an hour and a quarter, a gen tleman stated that Mr. Tester was to remain down below for two hours : but some of the spectators were anxious to return home, and, consequently, if agreeable, Mr. Tester would appear at once, or remain the specified time. Ali present being satisfied, a signal was given, and a minute after Mr. Tester, unaided, step ped out of his grave with no more perceptible exhaustion than would have been caused by walking two or three blocks under the hot sun. His exit was received with enthusiasm and applause, and hundreds rushed to congratulate Mr. Tester upon the success of his novel in vention.—A". 3". Express. Close Hanks ! -Shoulder to Shoulder ! SJaad Firm ! All true Democrats are sworn brothers, and bound to stand by cacti other, and by the cause. Now, more than ever, should this be our rule when treason is doing its vile and hateful work to divide and defeat ns. Me are a great and powerful party, and are des tined, at no distant day. to take possession of, and long thereafter to hold, the political power of this country. For the maintenance of the strength and efficiency of our organization, and the preservation of its morale , we hud need to “close ranks," and make one grand charge for victory in the October contest, and possibly win, where defeat was probable. Whatever the result, we had it in our power to sb iw our strength, our spirit, ami foreshadow our future success. This was necessary to make that success speedy and certain, and to teach the enemy our power, ox tori, from him respect, and compel him t> caution. Still mute is it necessary now, to “close up," and "stand firm,'’ when the same elements of disaffection which sought to sell out the party at the July Convention, are do ing what they can to destroy the candidates and the cause. Then let all true Democrats cling closer than ever to each other, arid be more earnest, brave, and devoted. Rise superior to treason and defeat, and go on with the great work which is to redeem the land, and establish upon it firm and enduring basis constitutional liber ty the rights of labor, and white supremacy. —N. Y. Dcm. Independent. The Franklin (St. Marv) Planters' Banner, of Qoti her 3d. relates the following : Last Saturday a colored man who was for merly a servant of .Mr. G. 1). Fuselicr, but who purchased his freedom before the war, mingled with the crowd of white and colored Democrats and Radicals on our streets, during the speech es and the movement of the procession, w ith the following card written distinctly, and placed on the front, of his hat: “ mv PRixcin.ES.” “ I owe no thanks to any man for my free dom. 1 earned it, during the time of slavery, through honest toil, and with the protection of God. Believing the North the home of freedom, I visited Boston, New Fork, Philadelphia, and other Northern cities in search of liberty and equal rights. There I met. no friends of my race. I re t ::r. 1 to th 3 sunny South, and hero I live, and feel that I can live free and happy among the Southern people, the true friends of the colored man, confident that the South is the best country, and the Southern whites are the best friends of the black race. Therefore, I am a staunch and fearless Dem ocrat, and a firm supporter of Seymour and Blair. Your most obedient servant, lleney Thomas." A Fish Story. —An Alabama paper speak ing of Florida, say’s : “ Thera are also numer ous small lakes of pure water, tilled with fish, some of which are only a few rods in extent, while others are from two to tea miles long.” (official.) 1> ROC LA M ATI O X.

Respectfully, Madison Rei.l, 48iG Comptroller General. A Common Sense View. —The New York Ilcrahl , referring to the tinaneial condition of the Government, says: “ i'lie whole matter is plain enough, and can be summed up in a few words. The in come from revenue is falling off, and likely to fall off more, from the disorganization of the executive department of the Governient, from the stupendous frauds, and from the reduction of taxes on manufactures. The expenditures continue to be enormous, especially in the War Department, and are exceeding the income, Mr. McCulloch’ s large money reserve is rap idly wastingfiwav, and there is likely to he an empty 7 treasury before the end of many months.” A End.cal speaker, at Lowell,- Massachu setts, the other evening, spoke of the public debt as a “inormm t.t of girry, the base of which lasts on the shoulders of the common people." There is no doubt as to where the base rests, and with crushing effect. Fn, han enormous structure requires a Broad resting place. As to tlio ‘-fHivvv" then: Is UouLtlin .1 difference of opinion. Tlat-e who, like J.ty Cooke, regard it a public blessing, can see the “glory But those who have to Bear its bur den have their shoulders stooped so that their eyes are too much earth-bent to see the beauty am! splendor of the monument. This latter class would forego ;be “glory" if they could only get rid of the weight. —C n. Enq. Plot to Assassinate the President. —The Washington Express of yesterday says: Wc have been in possession' of all tile facts for a dav'pust in reference to a discovered plot to as.-ussinate President Johnson. Wo under stand that these facts have been sent North. We, therefore, feel free to say that Mr. Frank Evans, an employee of the Treasury Depart ment, has exposed a plot arranged since the Impeachment trial, to assassinate President Johnson. A man named Iloimgerber is accu sed by Evans as being at the head of the plot. The negroes were all sworn to kill the Presi dent. They meet nightly and take oaths, and have painted mottoes. &c. We will publish facts in tile next edition. - Give us Democratic rule as our country once bad through a long period ol prosperity, at (1 wc shall have fair and equal taxation as we had before. But under Radical rule and Radical favoritism we shall ahva A Ist suffer ing under unequal laws, not warranted by 7 the Constitution, and only made to rob the hard working masses, and to put their earnings into the pockets of the bondholders. More than fifteen thousand Democratic voters of foreign Birth, and who bad Been regularly natutalized were refused the tight of suffrage in Pennsylvania at the late election by tlie Know Nothing Judges. The admission of their votes alone without reference to the nu merous frauds practiced bv the Radicals would have given the State to the Democracy by a handsome majority. Talk of a Radical victo ry in Pennsylvania, indeed ! — Louisri'le Couri er. A dispatch from New Orleans, dated Octo ber 18th, says: “The .Sheriff and parish Judge of St. Ma ry's Parish were assassinated at Franklin, Louisiana, last night, by parties who escaped without being recognized. The Sheriff was killed in his hotel. The parish Judge's body was found on the street by the patrol, which was organized Jsoon after the discovery of the Sheriff"s assassination. The Ccroner’s inquest is progressing but has elicited nothing toward the discovery of the perpetrators.— Several men were engaged in the transaction, but being mounted on horses escaped in the dark ness. Jasper Blackburn, Radical M. C. from Lou isiana, and editor of a paper in that State, \ writes that “as things now stand Louisiana is 1 sure for the Democracy.” Prussia closes its post offices on Sundays, and marches the clerks to church. No Surrender. “Brick" Pomeroy's Now York Democrat says : Treason lias failed in its object 1 The Old Guam stands firm ! It never sunenden; 1 Now that treason is detected and rebuked, mir gnllnnt legions, truer and more determined than ever, have set their array in order, and arc preparing for the final charge, by which their honor will be preserv'd! and future victo ry secured ! “Yet freedom ! yet, thy banner torn but flying, (Streams like a tbunder-storm against the wind ! Thy trumpet voice, though broken now and dying, The loudest still the tempest leaves behind ; Thy tree Wth lost its blossoms, aud the rind, Chopp'd by the axe, looks rough and little worth, But tin- sap lasts— and still the seed we find Sown deep, even in the bosom of the North : So shall a better spring less bitter fruit bring forth.” It is certain that the most stupendous frauds were perpetuated in Indiana, Ohio and Penn sylvania, and yet, even with 'tins, they have only been able to carry those States by greatly reduced majorities. Nothiug could be more significant. The unerasing energy and vigi lance manifested )>y -thq Democracy, continued through the rest of the campaign, will, we trust, finish the glorious work of redeeming the three Stales from the blight of Radical ism.
