* MODERATION.
Never since the organization of the system
of civilized governments among men, hns there
been a time when the community might differ
on matters of propriety and policy more hon
estly than at present. And it should be re
membered by all that the various views of
different individuals is a natural consequence
of their different mental organization and the
peculiar point of view from which each one
may regard the momentous issues which in
volve the immediate weal or vroo of all alike.
In such a crisis it is peculiarly requisite that all
should study the things which make for peace;
and while it’is eminently right and proper to
discuss tho subject freely, in so doing
everything liko acrimonious recrimination
should be avoided. As our position has been
clearly and unequivocally stated and those who
read our paper know that we have ever advo
cated without reserve tho constitutional doc
trine of State sovereignty, it will lmrdly be
charged that we aro not devoted to tho rights
of the people, when we counsel moderation
in all such discussions. In a state of affairs
*o entirely without precedent ns that which
now exists in our country it is not to he expec
ted that unanimity will provail over tho wholo
eountry or even in any section. But tho fact
that this disagreement is manifested by no
means involves the conclusion that any of the
parties are dishonest in their expressions or
even thutnny are influenced by improper con
sideration in the formation of their opinions.
On all questions involving important and un
tried points of public policy there hns always
been and will ever ho gravo differences in the
sentiments of the people, and the fact that one
differs from another implies no moro improper
motives on one side than the other.
The policy we have advocated from tho be
ginning still seems to us the most advisable in
tho present emergency. That is to register
tnd vole Against a Convention, at the same time
selecting the very best and most available men
for the Convention if it should he held. In
advocating this course it is only claimed that
it appears to us tho choico of evils allowed us
by the authorities at Washington. If, as is
urged by seme advocates of an immediate con
vention, the course we propose will he construed
as factious oppostion to reconstruction, it was
cruel mockery to pretend to submit tho matter
to the vote of the people ; while the responsi
bility of over-riding tho decision of tho people
will rest not with us hut with those who have
dared to assume it.
It is argued by somo that it is a foregone
conclusion that the convention will ho held,
nnd therefore in their opinion it is best to vote
for it & order to secure the reception of our
votes for the men of our choico for members of
eonmnSv.. t* tl ( ;« our reefy is thatilhe
conductors™ the elections cannot->.»f.w «*»ti 1
the ballots are counted out whether a man votes
for or against a convention, unless it bo as
sumed that they will fraudulently suppress
such votes ns are distasteful to them, in which
event, as there will be no fair election, wo
prefer to take no part in tho mockery of the
proceedings.
General Orders No. 53.
The commanding General of this District by
liis order No. 53, carries out tlio doctrine of
radicalism to its legitimate consequences. The
great Anglo-Saxon right of trial byja jury of his
peers, is thus wrested from the white people of
three of the States represented by the stars
which glitter on the national (lag of the Union,
by the simple word of the one man who holds
the absolute control of this section in his hands.
Whatever fanatical abstractionists may claim
as the possible status which tho negroes may
attain by cultivation and education, no ono in
the exercise of tho sense with which ho was
born,for a moment supposes that they are now
the equals of educated white men. Or, if that
is claimed, it must nccessarilly follow that
they have attained a higher development men
tally, under the care of their late masters than
Ims ever been done by any of their race under
other circumstances, during five thousand years
of recorded time. Assuming that the usurped
authority of a remnant of tho members of Con
gress, has reversed the order of nature and
equalized races between whom the Creator
made a difference as marked mentally as it is
physically, this order entrusts tho late slaves
with the momentous responsibility of deciding
upon questions involving even tho lives of
their late masters. And they are to be judges
of tlie law as well as the testimony. This ex
traordinary order which alone is sufficient to
secure its author a place in history, is sub
joined.
Grand and Petit Jurors and all other Jurors
fi r the trial ot cases civil or criminal or for the
administration of law in the States of Georgia,
A'ahama and Florida, will hereafter be taken
exclusively from the lists of voters without dis
criminntion registered bv Bonrda of Registra
tion under the Acts of Congress of the United
States, known as the Reconstruction Acts.
Sheriffs and all other officers whose duty it
is to summon and empannel Jurors, will require
each Juror to make oath that ho is duly regis
tered as above indicated, specifying Precinct
and Countv in which he was registered, which
affidavit will be placed on the official files of
the Oourt.
By command of Brevet Major General Pope.
G. K. SANDERSON,
Capt. 33d U. S. luft’y A. A. A. G.
It may be none of our Dusiness, but wc sym
pathise with civil officers in the perplexity
which must embarrass their proceedings under
this order. The continuance of the authority
of civil law seems to be implied by the use of
the civil term “jurors,” and yet the order con
flicts directly with the foundation of all the civil
laws in existence in this section, and abrogates
the old common law of England which was tho
basis of the whole structure of our government.
Would a whrtc man in New York or Ohio be
willing to be tried for his life before a jury of ne
groes who could act read the testimony in the
case i Yet, by this order thou must be no die*
crimination against such jurors here if they liuvo
registered as voters by making their mark. Here
tofore it hns been customary to discriminate in
favor of intelligence even among the white peo
ple. in the selection of juries. Will the General
please consider that we have not a Fisher to
preside in every county court.
From the Covington Enterprise.
Mb. Editor 1 como seeking such informa
tion as may lend to beneficial and practical
results. The name Enterprise is significant.
The quality it expresses, associated with oth
ers, would soon relieve our distresses nnd dif
fuse prosperity and happiness among us again.
You, Mr. Editor, have said and done much, for
which overy patriot should thank you. But if
you have more light, on the subject I present,
wo want to see it. If I hare any, I want to
show it, not for personal gratification, but for
public good. There aro evils, great and griev
ous ones, most of them brought on by tho war,
hut some independent of it. These I propose
to speak of, and enquire for a remedy. It is
said, that in law there is no right without a
remedy. S< cially and morally, is the maxim
true. Politically it seems untrue, up to tho
present time. But with polities, now, I have
nothing to do or say.
Mr. Editor, we are an impoverished people,
hut don’t seem to know it. We talk about it
knowingly, hut don’t resort to the only availa
ble correctivo. I havo often been delighted
with tiic sage talk, nnd sober views of many
men, hut when I see how they do, and what
they permit others, under their control to do,
I conclude their talk, liko doctors’ doses, is in
tended for others, and not for themselves. Who
curtails his expenses sufficiently to suit his
changed circumstances, cither in servant hire,
sumptuous tables, costly apparel, or otherwise?
Who lounges less, or indulges less now, in all
the enjoyments that former wealth permitted ?
Whose hand is hardened by labwr, and head
sobered by adversity ? Who wears a cheaper
coat, and wears it longer, because he is redu
ced ? Who spends less, if credit, or his pit
tance of remaining capital permits expenditure?
At * we not poorer than at the close of the war ?
Are we not getting poorer every day? Ex
ceptions there nmy he, but the rule is true as
to tho people et large. Now must not ruin,
irretrievable ruin, he our portion, if this state
of tilings continues ? Don’t let us close our
eyes to the fact because it is painful to see it,
hut like the skillful surgeon, probe the wound,
that we ntay more effectually cure it. Well,
wlmt are the remedies ? First have the courage
to know and admit that we arc poor. It is hard
to cure a lunatic who thinks lie is sane. The
fact of our poverty, known, admitted, and
acted on, achieves all. But this requires move
courage, than to storm a battery. Some who
did the latter, fail in the former; and why?
because patriotism nnd a righteous cause led
them to the one, and public example, and
other pernicious influences drive from the other,
Now w ho among tho young men, will summon
courage to harden his hands, nnd bronze his
face with honest toil, nnd husband his outlays
with wise frugality, that he may set an example
to ofillers, of imitation.'ait-4 thus o ! 1
comfort, prosperity nnd happiness inmates .f
his house for after life ? It is not only morally
wrong, but does it not often exoite unpleasant
suspicions, for any one to live beyond his
means? A young man’s mind must bo badly
stored, nnd hopeless of improvement, whose
chief pleasuro is found in decorating his per
son, or idle listlessness. And arc young womon
much more innocent, who indulge in the same
treacherous vanities? Now if the favored fevt’
who have much money, \vould consider what
a position of usefulness they occupy, and then
do as tho wealthy only can do, they would by
example, make industry, frugality, plainness,
nnd neatness fashionable, then the less favored,
could follow without that blemish of character,
which sometimes attaches to an opposite course,
for the tongue of scandal is ever ready to assail
those who dress more expensively nnd gaudily
than their visible means justify, though they
be of vestal purity. So for the sake of comfort,
example, good name, nnd future repose, let us
change our habits and suit them to our circum
stances. Let tho wealthy do thomsclves the
credit and honor of setting the example, let the
poor favor and follow it; otherwise moral des
olation must follow pecuniaty ruin, Fathers
and friends who feed and provide for us must
die, many of them found to bo bankrupt, not
until after death. Tho iin providence, and (so
called) innocent indulgences allowed their
children, unfit them for tho struggle of life ;
want presses, gilded baits aro presented, hope
of former plenty invites acceptance, virtue
trembles in the balaneo, ar.d all may be lost.
It is no discredit to labor, but not less hon
orable than safe to do so. Who are they that
meet, bear, and repair losses best, since our
overwhelming disaster? Are they not those
who have been used to toil, in some of its forms ?
Men who from small beginnings made large
estates, which being lost, they are “up and at
it” again, and will succeed again. Labor is an
honorable necessity, and frugality a virtue.—
Let such precepts be riveted by example on the
minds and habits of tho rising generation, and
they will prove a richer, and more enduring
heritage than gold without them.
CINCIXNATDS.
The Sooner the Better.— The Cincinnati
Enquirer keeps it before the people that 2,500,
000 Radical votes have 210 members of Con
gress, while 3,500,000 Democratic votes have
but GO members. Well, what of it ? asks the
Times. Whereupon tho Enquirer responds:—
There is this about it;
1. It stops, or should stop, the assertion of
ignoramuses that the people of the country are
opposed to the President’s restoration policy.
They are not, but a majority of a million are
iD favor of it.
2. It shows that the pretended representa
tives of the people no longer represent it.
3. It intimates that “there is something rot
ten in Denmark,” something that must be
corrected, or else we must abandon all claims
.to be considered a country under Democratic
institutions. If 2.500,000 Totes are to rule 3,
500,000 votes, the sooner it is understood the
It. ter.
The Atlanta Opinion of tho 18th inst., says :
“We paid a flying visit to Delvalb, Nowton,
nnd Morgan counties, on Friday. Tho corn
crops in these counties are reported by the
farmers to he very promising, and an extraor
dinary large yield of this grain is anticipated,”
So fnr as this county is concerned, the above
is true, for which “all hands” feel thankful to
a benign Providence, hut that Local transcends
not only the hounds of propriety, hut severely
wounds the truth in tho following.
“The cotton crop docs not seem to ho doin*
very well, and an average crop cannot be count
ed on, as the seasons are unfavorable for this
great staple of tho South.”
This information Lc gels from the farmers;
so he says, but we have diligently inquired,
and havo failed to find the farmer that furnish
ed that information. It is a fact beyond con
troversy, that the cotton crop of this county,at
this time, is the most flattering for many years,
and if we are blessed with a continuation of the
present propitious season?, the yield will bo the
largest for many years, taking into ti e account
the area in cultivation. This gentleman of the
quill should make his Pi7ym»age more thor
ough by visiting tho country nnd making a
more diligent inquiry of the farmers; by so
doing ho will be the better enabled to make a
more truthful exposition of the growing erop.
Signs of the Times.
The Now York Express says that Mr. Thad.
Stovens, the leader of tho Radicals in Penn
sylvania, seeing the signs of the times, and
knowing that his party’s stock is at a heavy
discount, lately gave expression t 8 his fears in
the following language:
“I fear wc shall lose Pennsylvania this next
election. Ido nut think we have earnesness
enough in the State to unite and draw out the
Republican strength, while the Republican
portion of tho Legislature has been so openly,
notoriously and shamefully corrupt, that all
the honest people of the State are disheartened
and disgusted.”
Here is the chief of the Pennsylvania Rad
lcal sinners, openly denouncing tho Hep/üblican
portion of the Legislature of that State, as
"openly, notoriously and shamefully corrupt;’’
so much so that “ all honest people in the Stato
aro disheartened and disgusted.” AY'hat a
picture to study 1 As in Pennsylvania, so in
New York, so in Ohio, if the ‘signs of the times’
indicate anything of what may transpire in
the future.— Atlanta Intelligencer.
Bayonet Law.— The London Saturn
day Review lias been warning this coun
try of the danger to freedom from the
extention of military power. It cautions
us that familiarity with tho exercise of
despotic power produces indifference to
all restrictions of law and of tradition )
and it adds that “the Americans are mis
taken if they believe that revolutionary
absolutism in the government of the con
quered States will we found compatible
with the maintenance of orderly freedom
»n the North.” ■_ _
The New York Times concurs in these
opinions, *nml n:M-t; fe believe that
Ihe btdy safety to the e.untry lies in the
fact that toe military governments in the
South are necessarily limited in their du
ration. Were tehy to last ten years, we
would not give a lip for liberty in any
p art of America.’’
Negro Congressmen.— Wc notice a
generally expressed disposition and dcs
termination, says the Journal Mcssen*
ger , on the part of the white people of
the South, to vote for, and as far as
possible, tissist in the election of negroes
to the Federal Congress. This is to be
done partly on condition that the negroes
give the whites the less remunerative
offices ; t home. We want our States
towns and cities, governed by whites,
and arc perfectly satisfied, if this can be
accomplished, to give the negro the
more honorable and better paying offices.
Our reasons are obvious for this, and are
not easily misinterpreted—we do not
think the negro fit to govern us, and are
not disposed to put up with their igno
rance and arrogance—we are willing,
however, and would prefer, the most ob
noxious, filthy,thieving negro imaginable,
should go to Congress (and do not much
fear contamination from his association,)
in preference to one of those nameless
cure, once so-called ‘rebel’ Southerners,
who would be acceptable to the Radical
Congress—in other words, a white man
mean enough to be acceptable to the
present Congress of the United Stales,
from the South, is too mean for the poos
pie of the South. The alternative is a
negro—the peculiar institution of the
Radicals.
Recently in the Senate of the United
States, Mr. Sumner attempted to force
upon that body tho consideration of his
bill for “universal suffrage,*’ and in his
remarks upon the subject he unblushingly
admitted that the object of the measure
was to secure votes for the Mongrel par
ty. lie said, “in Delaware, Maryland,
and Kentucky, it was needed to increase
the Union lMongrel( vole. It would se
cure three thousand votes in Connecti
cut, and fifteen thousand in Pennsylva
nia. It was needed in New York and
Indiana, and in fact in every State.”
It is very evident that the Mongrels are
afraid of the “so-called white race’’ in
every State ; and, in order to neutralize
its effects, they propose now to let the
negroes vote, no matter what the peo
ple of the several States may have to
say upon the subject.
In North Carolina the farmers are com
plaining bitterly that they Lave been vic
timized by parties from the North in the
purchase of guano for their lands ; that
they have paid a high price for it, yet it
is perfectly valueless. Measures to inves
tigate the fraud are about to be taken.
