From the New York Times.
Columbus, Ga., Nov. 12, 1874.
During tho political campaign which
lias just closed, the negro voters of Ala
bama und other Southern States were
told by Radical speakers that, should the
Republican Party be defeated at the polls,
they would surely be reduced to a condi
tion of slavery. In proof of this very
remarkable statement, they usually re
ferred'to the condition of the race in
Democratic Georgia, and assured their
bearers tint the black men in this State
were slaves in everything but name.
1 heard the negro Congressmen, Rapier,
w ike such assertions os these, and in
tho Exchange Hotel, at Montgomery,
Pen Saul Posey, no v a Radical leader,
during the war the man who advocated
throwing poisonous snakes into •Fort
Pickens, to drive “tho cussed Yankees”
out. assured me most positively that the
blacks here were political slaves. Since
mv arrival in Columbus I have very care
fully inquired into this matter, and I
fully convinced that the statement re
ferred to were untrue in every particular,
that they were made solely for particular
effect, and that the persons making them
must have been aware of tlieir falsity.
THE REORO IN GEORGIA.
In Georgia the races are about equally
divided, or about five blacks to
whit* a, and when it is remembered tbat
in South Carolina, Louisiana and Ala
bams, tho blacks have, until tho last
election, voted tho Republican ticket to
a man, it may bo wondered that the Dem
oerats of Georgia have been enabled to
assume und maintain control of the S'ate
Government. If it wero true that the
negroes were by force prevented from
voting as their incliuutiou prompted
them, tho mutter would, of course,
quire no further explanation. As already
suited, however, they are not interfered
wi.li in anyway. Iam assured of this
not only by leading Democrats, but by
every respectable white Republican here.
The same story is told by the black men
themselves. During a conversation had
witii a most intelligent negro of
place, he informed me that the colored
people of the {State were, as a rule, better
informed and more alive to their own in-
t« rest than those in other parts of the
South. Before the wur tho slave-owners
of Georgia were more humane than those
in Louieianaor Alabama, and the negroes
were bound to them by many ties of af
fection. This, in addition to their supe-
r.or intelligence, made them understand
that, as they depended in a great meas
ure upon tho white people for support,
they would but se^ve themselves when
they did as their employers wished. The
rt*ult was that many colored men were
Democrats from choice. Others sold
their votes. There was no secret about
this; every one knew that an average
field hand would vote with the white
Democrats who gave him a silver half
dollar. The majority of negroes, how
ever, took no interest in the election,
and did not vote. In explanation of
this, my informant stated that
opinion the colored people, ns a class,
voted only because they had been led to
believe that if they did not maintain the
Republican Party in power their free
dom would be in danger. In Georgia
this fear was not entertained to any great
extent, and consequently the whites had
no difficulty in controlling elections. I
cannot find that the negroes have suffered
any loss by this political apathy. Indeed
tin re seems to lie no doubt that they are
iu a berter condition than the colored
people of the other Southern States. In
Columbus I find that intelligent and in
dustrious block men are not only pros-
tho good conditiou of the reads and
bridges, the cheerful aspect of the peo
ple, and the general air of thrift and en
terprise which prevails in the towns. The
taxes are light and the laws moderately
well enforced, the inhabitants aro ruled
by men of their own choice, and politi
cally they have nothing to complain of.

When all these things are taken into
sideration it would be but natural to sup
pose that the farms would be thoroughly
cultivated and tbe Land-owners prosper-
Snck is not the cose, however; tbe
system of farming is the same reckless
and careless one which has ruined some
of the States, and although many of the
planters have done better within the past
few years, tbe great mass of tbe land-
owners complaiu of decreased values and
a scarcity of money. They wonder at
this, but a disinterested s'ruuger who in
vestigates the matter clearly is not at all
surprised. The great secrets of the:
failure to muke money are that they do
not work hard enough; that they attempt _
to cultivate too much ground ; that they of sale, the following properly,
plant cotton, cotton, and nothing but “ “ Al
cotton, and pay two prices for the sup
plies which they receive from tho West
and North. During the past 3ear the
farmers living within thirty miles of Col
umbus sold iu this market about, $4,000,-
000 worth of cotton, and paid ont for
foreign utensils and supplies no less than
$1,500,000. They could grow every kind
of fruit and vegetable iu abundance, but
they appear to like canned peaches and
beans better than they do those which
they could taise themselves. In the
county of Muscogee, io which Columbus
is situated, there aro three thorn and sev
en hundred dogs and only forty-five
sheep. Every negeo has a single-barrel
ed shot-gun or an old army musket, and

The white gentlemen have
double-barrel guns and English-bred
pointers. With these they waste much
time in hunting quail and wild duck.
The blacks not being skillful enough to
shoot on tho wing, kill the insect destroy
ing birds and leave tbe worms to destroy
the cotton crop. The broad prairie fields
of Georgia are known to bo admirably
adapted for stock raising, but they are
left barren aud waste. The people get
their butter Irom the West, aud I have
actually seen con doused milk ou the ta
ble of a farmer. He was the proud pos
sessor of three pointers aud a pack of
trained hounds, but not one cow
place.
THE ABSENTEE SYSTEM.
Another cause for the existing poverty
of the farmer is that many of tln-in have
their homes in the cities and leave their
lands to the eare of overseers. T
many, incidents which illustrate the fol
ly ,of this policy. Just after tbo war one
of tbe richest planters of the State died,
leaving 1,500 acres of the finest land
Georgia to his two sons. Instead of r
ing their own supplies os their provident
father bad done, these young men bought
everything they wanted ou credit, em
ployed au overseer, and, like desperate
gamblers, staked their fortunes
card. They planted cotton. They made
a very largo crop, but prices bud gone
down, and they were charged exorbitant
rates of interest for the money advanced
to them. Tbe result was that at the end
of the year they found themselves slight-
13* in debt. They mortgaged their laud,
bought fresh supplies, made what prom
ised to be an excellent crop, and, just as
their hope was highest, tho worms came,
and in two days destroyed what it bad
taken a year’s labor and ten thousand
dollars to produce. Hoping against hope,
they mortgaged and remortgaged their
estate until, eignteen mouths ago, they
were obliged to let it pats into the bands
of their creditors. Tuis year the present
owner, a sensible Irish farmer, has real
ized upward of $5,000 ou tbe same land.

B Y virtue of an order of the Court
of Terrell county, ni.l be soi
respected and patronized l>y the
whites, and a few of them have almost
unbounded credit at tbe wholesale houses
in S avannah and other places. One of
tho largest and best kept groceries in the
pluco is ownt d by a u- gro named Ishav
Cooper. Most of bis customers are
white man of property. A colored man
named Murdock McCloud keeps one of
tho best restaurants here. He is patron-
ized exclusively by the whites, many la
dies buying from him. Another black
man named Barney Hawkins is proprie
tor of a small but well kept hotel. His
cim.omers are all white people. Were it
necessary, several instances of the same
kind could beenumerated. In tbe courts
the negro is treated just as tbe white
man is. Black men are not allowed to
serve on juries, but this is felt to be
wrong, and it is generally believed
that the State Constitution will be s >
changed that an educational qualification
shall be prescribed for jurors, and that
men of all races shall be eligible. There
seems to be no doubt tbat this change
will shortly be made. In Columbus aud
other cities of the State tLe municipal
governments support schools for negro
well a) white children. They are,
course, in separate buildings, but a
alike in every particular. The school
term is tbe sumo in both, and tbe pay of
teachers identical. Negro men and wo
men are employed to teach the children
of tlieir own raco. Unlike those of Ala
bama, the blvcks of Georgia are still very
desirous of education. Not only do tbe
children attend school regularly, but
many grey-bended men, seeking instruc
tion at odd moments when they could
leave their work, have learned to read
aud write. They are far from being a
moral people, but their respect tor tbe
marriage relation is much greater than
is found among the negioes of Louisiana
or Alabama. As a rule they are good,
faithful workmen, many of them are atill
living with their old masters, and I
credibly informed that when a farmer
keeps bis pledges with them, and takes
an interest in their welfare, they are al
ways obedient and law-abiding. The
utmost good feeling exists between white
aud black workmen, and negroes are em
ployed not only in many of the factories,
but they work side by side with white
men in tho barber shops. In Boston,
not long ago, it will be remembered that
a number of white barbers refnsed to
work because a colored man was taken
into their shop. The whitochurches are
all open to the negroes who wish to at
tend, and at the theatres and other places
of amusement, comfortable but separate
m ats ore provided for them. In every
way, except as^ regards office-holding,
their condition is better than that of the
colored people in other States, and as
the best men of tbe State are of the opin
ion that they should be allowed a proper
representation in tbe Legislature and
town councils, it is thought that at tbe
next election the wrong is done them in
this respect will be remedied. The
Southern white people, as a class, are
the warm friends of tho negro; they de
sire his advancement Tbe partisan
feelings begotten by tbe war are fast
dying ont; and, even if sneb a thing were
possible, tbe planters have no desire to
rc-Mtablisb slavery in any form. The
negroes of Georgia know this, and their
interest being identical with those of the
whites, they are working hard to build
up the broken fortune of their old mas
ters and the State.
AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS.
tjv. nil the 8oulhem States Georgia
depends upon the product of the fields
for the support of her people. It is tree
that of lalo jeers the manufacturing in
terests of the State bare been largely on
the increase, bat ap to tho preeent the
agricultural is tcry much greater than
any other interest. Coming hen from
Alabama the tnreler cannot fail to mark
Another incident wus related to uie by u
well-known gentleman of this place which
proves very conclusively that judicious
farmers who work hard not only make a
good living but accumulate proper y. A
young man who was an officer in the Con
federate nrni3\ came to Columbus iu 1805.
He had only fifty cents iu money and not
a friend in tbo State who could help him.
Failing to secure other employment, he
gladly accepted the place of a common
laborer on one of the railroucL. He
worked for u year iu this position, and
then, having saved a little money, lie was
given a small contract upon which he
mado $600. With this he purchased 500
acres of so-called “played-out” land,
bought two mules, aud secured the ser
vices of one negro. Old plauters shook
their heads and said lie was cm of his
mind, but, paying no attention to them,
ho went to work, and during the wiuVr.
while others were going about the cou».
try with shot-guns and dogs, he spin
rails, built fences, drained bis land, plant
ed corn first, and then begau to tbiuk
about cotton. He plowed bis laud deep
iu-tead of scratching it with a sharp
piece of wood, as those aroaud him did.
That year he made corn enough to sup*,
port ail his stock, to feed hinuell and
bauds, and bad some to sell. He nmde
$400 on liis cotton. The next year lie
made larger crops, cultivated more of
bis land, and made larger profits. He is
now comfortably rich. He raises almost
everything consumed by himt-clf and
family, grows grapes, makes wiue and
delights in hospitably entertaining the
planters who, in the beginning predicted
his failure. A German, or English farm-
would l>o ami zed at the way in which
land is cultivated iu Georgia. The plan-
have no compost heaps, and, of green
manuring, they know little or nothing.
They buy chemical fertilizers at from $50
to $80 a ton, and place them on impover
ished and badly-plowed lauds.’ They cf
course lose money by the opeia i <n —
What is needed is a bottir aud more in
telligent system of larming. Laud own
ers must sell their shot-guns and buy
useful books, tbeir sons must be taught
that to be idle is to be disgraced, aud their
daughters must learn to adoru their
houses as well as their peisons. Geor
