GEORGIA ENTERPRISE WILLIAM L. BKKBH, Kmro*. ( '< >Y I NOT< > N • < I A . fRIDAY MORNING PEC. 4, 1868. COW A RDI.V )W IJSTK E. It is a regular hahit with the Radicals of the North to ascribe every manifestation of lawlessness which occurs in the South to the brutalizing tendency of out social institutions. There has not been the report of a house I>urnt or a hen roost robbed between the Poto mac and the Rio Grande since the surrenderof the Confederate armies, but that has been seiz ed upon by the Northern sectional fanatics as evidence that the people of the South are not the equals of those of the North in civiliza tion and morality. The injustice of this judg ment is manifest to all who possess sufficient information on the i-uhject to las üble to form a correct idea in regard to it. If the peculiar institutions which existed here are chargeable with the crime which is developed in our sec tion, by the same process of reasoning the far greater proportion of crime in the North should be attributed to the different social sys tem which prevailed there. This is manifestly an erroneous system of accounting for social evils, however, which are incident in common to all the various systems of associations which have ever been organized since evil come into the world. No plan has ever been invented among men whereby evils are entirely avoided : hut vari ous systems of government and social organi sations more or less perfect, have been tried in different ages and in various plnces, each of which has shown its defects in its practical operation, which have never been perfectly remedied. That the institutions of the South w«re free from this universal blight of imper fection, was never claimed ; hut those who knew their operation and effects most thor oughly, and who bail compared our social sys tem with thoso of other sections and of other times, were satisfied that in practical benefits to tha whole population and in actual advanta ges ■to the world at large, there neveT was n ■system as beneficent as ours. The terrible bugbear of slavery, by which the prejudices of the civilized world were aroused against us, was altogether the best system for the civilization and elevation of the barbarians of Africa, which has ever been known ; and at the same time that our revilers profess to be horrified at the degrading effects of our system of slavery they claim that the negro slaves nro more capable of exercising the elective franchise than the enlightened im migrants from Europe. Can the system which has thus elevated c.mnilial Africans be indeed so very barbarous after all? Again, he it remembered that up to the very hour of secession there were no more gloriously gifted statesmen known to fame than our Southern Smaters and Representatives in Congress; no purer jurists ever wore the judicial ermine than our Southern country furnished: no braver warriors ever bore the sword than the chivalric sons of the South. Now sine* the records of the courts as well as the reports of newspapers show more than double the proportion of crime at the North as compared with our section, is it not both un generous and unjust to represent crime at the South as the effect of our former institutions? Outrages by the Arkansas Radicals. A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal, writing from Arkansas, says, On the 10th ult., • body of two hundred men claiming to be a military force, entered the town of Centre Point, Sevier county, "and arrested all the inhabitants, marched into an open field and placed a guard over them, and then proceeded to sack the town, after which they left. The next day the citizens of the adjoining county flocked into town ; meetings were hold to ex press the sentiments of the people in regard to the outrage. While the meeting was pro gressing the fame men dashed into town and opened indiscriminate fire upon the assembly, shooting a number and arresting three of the oldest and best citizens, named Ileister, An derson nnd Gilbert. They carried them to a field and shot them. The Land is still in pos session of the town. Eight companies of the 29th infantry left cn route for the Texas frontier. The Box—The Truth About It. Jacobin papers are making very merry over the recent story in the New- York Tribune re porting tbe discorcry of a tin box, in possession of Treasurer Spinner, which was banded him some time since by Marat Stanton, nnd which, upon being opened the other day, was foolishly said to contain the disguise in which Hon. Jef ferson Davis avaa captured, in the spring of 1865. This story wifi do to tell, bat there are tacts which indicate that it is all bosh. The box in which these clothes were found was handed to Stanton some time ago, contain' ing $30,000 in gold, belonging to a quarter master, and the very next thing known about it, it is opened and found to contain some old clo's ! Wonderful transformation! And those old clothes are said to have been worn by Hon. Jefferson Davis at the time he was captured. Shades of the government widdy! was there ever such impudence practiced before? Instead of these being the clothes of Jefferson Davis, they were the toggery of one Stanton, who used them as a disguise at the time when Ad interim Thomas was after him. The cow ardly villain dare Dot go in the street in shape to be recognized ; hence he sought to eloak his £lthv carcass in the raiment of woman. One night a gentleman of color attempted to commit an outrage upon tbe poor old woman of the war office, so Stanton went back alarmed and disgusted—took erff his feminine clothes— “ Presto!” They were snugly ensconced in the mysteri ous tin box, and the inquiry is now raised:— ‘‘Where are the thirty thousand dollars?” fN, Y, Democrat. What arc Von Rejotciiig For f Satan laughed when the in ;rtul sin of Our first parents was consummated, and it has al ways been regarded us one of the must dinboli cul acts of bis Infernal majesty. \Vc are also informed that Niro was sunn y over the burn ing of tl c Capital City of the nation over which be reigned, and it lias been held up to ported ty ns tho climux of uiliwsavt cruelty. Os the same character and equally heartless does it strike us is the jubilating of our opponents, — As we ran our eyes nlong their ranks at their bite torch-light jubilee over the late election wc saw that they wore composed of men who must be prosperous or suffer as the country is or is not prosperous, ami mentally we asked each one of them “ what arc you rejoicing about?” Are you glad that a party has triumphed whose leaders are pledged to establish the so cial and political equality of the nogro race in the land ? Are you glad that the State and National debt which has been growing daily, notwithstanding tho vast ami onerous taxation, is now the larg est in the world ? Are you glad that the bondholders (who from the sadden demand for this kind of secu rity will soon own most of tho wealth of the nation) are, by the election of Grant, for four years more entirely free from all State, County and local taxes, leaving the whole burden to rest on you ? Are you glad that the white men of Pennsyl vania can put in the United States Senate only two Senators, while the negroes in the ten Southern States can and will Bend twenty Senators to that body ? Are you happy in the thought that you may soon see negroes in Congress as you now sec a negro Lieut. Governor in Louisiana? Are you glad that the freedmnn’s Bureau, which costs .000,00(1 a year to support lazv negroes and Yankee school marine, is to be kept up while poor white men must work or starve ? Are you glad that the standing army which is eating out your substance is now an estab-. lished institution in the land? Are ycu proud that the Executive and Su premo Court must henceforth be tho mere tools of a majority in Congress ? And finally, are you glad to know that after all the lives that were lost to keep the South in the Union, and after our victory over those who tried to leave the Union, the Union armies foiled, and the rebels triumphed and did get out, so that it has taken three years to got them in, and they are not in yet? Is it for these thing that you rejoice?— lloncjuiaie Herald. A clergyman called on a poor parishioner, whom he found bitterly lamenting the loss of an only son, a hoy about four or five years old. In the hope of consoling the nffl'eted woman, he remarked to her that “one so young could not have committed any very grievous sin ; and that, no doubt, the child had gime to heaven.” “Ah sir,” said the simple-hearted creature, “but Tommy was so shy—and they are all strangers there.” What makes n Free Nation t Freedom from debt; freedom from pecuniary embarrassment; ability to pay as you go, and not less for the government than the citizen.— The government, which expends more than it receives, which taxes beyond its ability to pay which increases in crime, pauperism and gen eral demoralization, can hardly be called freo. Nor can that be practically a republic, which ignores self-govenrment, establishes military dictators, takes from the people the control of suffrage, denies the ballot to its white citizens and puts it into the hands of the ignorant negroes. The less coercive a government, the most freedom and the highest order generally, the greatest prosperity and the noblest peace. When Congress restores to the Stntes the pow ers whicli belong to the States, and to tho Ex ecutive nnd Judiciary the powers which the con stitution places with them, the greater will be the freedom and happiness of the pooplo. In Lancashire, England, hoys go to work in factories when they are eight years old, and get about sixty-two cents of our money a week for their services. After laboring many years one becomes a weaver, and if very fortunate can earn a pound, or five dollars a week. lie does not read or write ; he has no social enjoy ment, no recreation beyond that of the rudest character; nothing to say in political matters, and is not altogether so well off as his rich employer's horse.

The Georgia Railroad will pass delegates to the Agricultural and Mechanical Convention, to be held in Macon on the 10th inst., for one fare. A Schenxctadv Genius.—A saloon-keeper of Schenectady, who has been greatly annoyed by persons who sit about in chairs to sleep off the effects of bad whisky, has caught and tamed a number of rats, nnd trained them to run across the floor. A sitter wakes up and sees rats running, and calls attention to the fact. This frightens the man, who thinks he has got the tremens, and he quickly disappears from the scene. A man who ran away from his wife, in In diana, twenty-six years ago, has just returned. She had married again, bat willingly rejoin ed her first husband. The first love was the stronger. [He had been to California and brought back a fortune.] llow fortunate, in these times of burglaries, to be a printer 1 No robbers trouble him.— We believe there is one ease on record of one of the craft being robbed, hut the thief was immediately arrested and sent to the lunatic usyluin, where he subsequently died a raving maniac. The moat effective eye water—a woman's tear. 1 i .oi tho New Vm-It Democrat. Diafrtmchi-cnient. West Virginia—violently nnd unconstitu tionally torn from the old mother State during the war, and setting up a State government while bayonets ruled, and by their agency nnd support —now vo 'on tho Jacobin ticket only in consequence of a sweeping disfranchisement of white citizens, adopted while a hollow square and a discharge of musketry from a platoon of blue coats, or an application of cold steel, were the arguments and processes by which States were diwwcaibcrcd and opposition silenced. To illustrate the extent of this disfranchise ment, we cite two or three instances. In Charlestown, which formerly polled over five hundred votes, this year there are hut fifteen names on the registry. Attheeounty scat of Greenbrier, with a population of twelve hun dred, there are only eight voters. In the county there arc fuirtccn hundred disfran chised men, comprising, as is said, the wealth intelligence, public spirit, and moral worth of Giecnbrier. The despotism thus established in West Virginia is depicted in the following burning words by the Greenbrier Independent: In West Virginia there arc not less than 25,000 men who can not hold any office, sit oil a jury, or teach a public school. In West Virginia there are not less than 25.000 men who can not obtain judgment on old debts duo them, or enforce contracts. In AVest A irgima the taxes for county and township purposes arc eight times heavier than they were before the war. In West Virginia we have fiyc paid officers now for one before the war. In AVest A irginia the salaries of county offi cers are double, and some of them treble, of what they were before the war. In ATrginia, especially in the border counties, the offices are, with few exceptions, filled by the most ignorant and vicious of the population. In AVest Virginia three men in each county, known as the County' Board of Registration, are actually licensed by an act of the Legisla ture to enter on record that their fellow-citizens arc perjurers! In West Virginia the County Board of Reg istration have entire control of every office in the State. 'I he Board of Registration of Ohio county can unseat Governor Boremanhy mere ly scratching his name from the list of regis tered voters. The Board of Registration of Monroe county can uni eat Judge Nat. Harri son in the same way. No man can hold office unless he is a voter. No man can he a voter unless he is registered. No man can register, or remain registered, without the consent of tho County Boards of Registration. Scratch Bore-man's name or Harrison's name from the registry, and the sceptre of power drops from their nerveless grasp. ltid such a state of things ever before exist in any eiviiizcd community ? Has as mean, contemptible, sneaking, cowardly, brutal a des potism as that of West A irginia ever before rejoiced the hearts of devils, or called for the avenging bolts of heaven? “Mountaineers always Croc!” Oh, what a mockery of a noble sentiment ! AVhat a bra zen-faced lie ! There is no freedom in these mountains, except the freedom of ignorance and villainy to lord it over intelligence and honesty. The Model Republic Abroad. The overthrow of tho Republic and theercc tion of the Congressional usurpation, soon to he followed by a military despotism, have been heralded a- a grand achievement of Liberty. These representations, howe 'er false, have not been without effect upon the public mind of Europe. Having no other sources of informa tion, the people very naturally took for fact what was not contradicted. But truth, which moves slowly, is beginning at last to be heard. AVe have an evidence of this in tha appreciation of the American situation by one of the ablest of tho Paris papers —the Constilutionnel. We translate a few paragraphs, which show the spirit of the whole, and prove that Radical knavery and falsehood are being understood in France. — Sav. Morning Mars. “ Between Republicans and Democrats, what is the difference? The Republicans of Amer ica, like the Republicans of Europe, arc despots, who will not endure the existence of any lib erty. AVhat they want is a vigorous centrali zation, which subjects to tho despotism of Con gress the whole territory of the Republic.— What they especially desire is the ruin of the Southern States, whose insurrection they can never pardon. At present they are striving to deliver these States over to the dominion of the blacks. Tiro principle of the Democrats, on the con trary, is the Constitution, as AVashington loft it. States under certain limitations, of which the President and Congress have the guardian ship, with this exception each State is sorer eign within itself, and consequently free to regulate its own domestic administration. General Grant is not a Radical, but it is dif ficult to foresee what policy lie will pursuo. llis election proves only one thing—that a majori ty of the Americans are opposed to the sover eignty of the States. As to the rest, we must await his acts. As he is not animated against the South with the implacable hate of the Radi cals, one may hope that be will use the means which the Constitution gives him to protect the oppressed and reconstruct tho Union. A diffi cult work, which every day becomes more dif ficult. The Republican scheme can only end in establishing in American Poland or an Ire land—a hundred times more miserable than uie Ireland under the yoke of England—a hundrod times more oppressed than the Poland under the knout of Russia. The most unfor tunate people of the earth are the people of the Southern States. The worst of all despotisms is that exercised in the name of Liberty.” A jery just commentary on Sumner's sub lime mercy 1 An unsophisticated girl recently inquire! at a dry goods store for “ three yards of Grecian bend.” .'lini-ter Wuidiburnc. The conduct of this Mini-ter in Hilmitting to the arrest of two of the attacheo* of his Legation by the halt civilized millions of Lopez, has been severely criticised by several papers, and here is his explanation. He “Mv diplomatic powers had been surren dered, and 1 could not resume them, 1 had no longer houM\ nor home, nor protection. 1 could have surrendered my family unprotected, and put them on the Paraguayan steamer, the Rio Ana, and cou!d have given myself up to the ruffians who had seized the members of n;y legation and been carried into captivity, where I could tell no tales, and could not advise my government and the world of the atrocities and barbarities of Lopez, To have thus surrendered myself, instead of hastening to a point where I could communis cate with my Government, and de nil in my power to rescue my unfortunate friends from the clutches of a wild beast at the earliest moment, I should have been justly censured by the civilized world. I therefore embarked on the Wasp, and wc hastened down the river. I am remaining here to sec what can he done to save the persons seized by Lopez. No effort of mine has been or will be spared to rescue the unfortunate men who were torn from me under circumstances of such peculiar atrocity. For them I kept myself in the pow er and endured tho hostility of the worst liv ing man ; for them I mostchcerfully sacrificed health, comfort, and fortune, and endured per secution and insult. I did all that was in my power to do. My house was crowded with fu gitives, and I shared with them all I had and in all the horrors of the situation. All parted from ine with the deepest feelings of gratitude. Had the AA'asp been at Asuncion when Bliss and Masterton were seized by an overpowering force, nnd dragged away lrom mo while on my way to tho steamer, I am certain that Captain Kirkland would have promptly re sponded to my request and opened on tho town, hut, as you are aware, Lopez had kept her below the fortifications, a league below Asuncion, in order to have me at a disadvan tage. Os course, in the street, with my wife and child, I could offer no resistance to that outrage upon my flag.” _ -♦ <rv> <- - The Fruits of Civil War. The increase of licentiousness in this c-un tiy is pronounced before the Scientific Con gress to be very great, and the late civil war pronounced to be the most prolific cause of this. The clergy and boasted philanthropists who believe in war and who are ready to get up another, if need be, in vindication of their extreme opinions, will please take notice.— Preaching politics in the pulpit also has driv en the people beyond the good influences of religion, and in turn into the vortex of the world. The most popular social education for some years, both from the pulpit and forum, has been the law of personal, social, and sec tional hate, and the wonder is, with so many Radical preachers and teachers, immorality i* not even gronterjthan we see it. But there are greater evils from war than personal licentiousness and political demorali zation. Our recent civil war has changed our Federal and if not in letter, what is a groat deal w rse, in its spirit. Part of this, perhaps, crew out of tho necessities of the hour hut more from the innovations upon constitutional liberty, which are the natural products of war. Thus we saw the Supreme Court recognize the South as a belligerent power, and then we wore quite ready to quar rel with England for following our example. We also hasten to recognize a revolution in Spain, when wc were so fierce to frown upon all powers which dared to recognize a revolu tion at home. The Czar ol all the Russia becomes the source of our profoundest admi ration, thou i'll this same Czar is the head and front of the worst despotism in tho old world. AA'ar not only blinds men to all consistency and all decency, but seems to root out all that is moral in principle and conservative in charac ter. The exceptions only prove the rule.— A T . 3". Ejl[>i css. The Loaded Dice. If Gen. Gvnnt lias that respect for “the will of the people" which he expresses in his letter accepting the Chicago nomination, it will scarcely be satisfactory to him to know, as he must know, that he is not the choice of the people of the United States as their President. If the electoral vote were justly counted it would stand as follows : FOR SEYMOUR. New York 33 New Jersey 7 Oregon 3 All the Southern States IK) Total 150 AA'hole number electoral votes 317 On the popular vote as it is, or was permit ted, Grant has a majority of only about 300,- 000, and, to secure this, a Radical Congress bv force prevented three States, sure for Sey mour, from voting, disfranchising more that 500,000 Democrats in all tho Southern States, and enfranchising 751,000 negroes fresh from slavery and the swamps.— World. .<>♦ One vote and a contrary pig were the means of the declaration of the war of 1812, with Great Britain. Two neighbors, having adjoin ing farms in Rhode Island, got into a dispute about the depredations of a pig belonging to one of them. They went to law about it, and on the day a United States Senator was to be elected by the Legislature they were obliged to attend court, One of them was a member of the Assembly, a Hartford conventionist, and opposed to the war. Ilis vote would have elected an anti-war Senator, but in consequence of bis absence a war man was chosen, and war was deelarcd by one majority in tho Senate. It is further related that this member was himself elected by one vote, Washington, December 2. It is stated at Revenue headquarters that an unauthorized synopsis of Rollins’ report shows an error of sixty millions in one item. It is also stated that a bogus copy of tho Secretary's repoit is in circulation in New York.
