Co*ri»CAfwm.—The following is a
a Radical broadside against it, from the
CUmro Tribune, Nov. 2., a radical
t>iper: ■ J
Mr. Theddeus Steven# theaters to re
new his efforts to secure the eor.fiscation
of the property of a certain class in the
South ; and we hope that, when he
bring* forward his oi.itiuu, it may be
promptly and effectually 'squelched.—
The Sooth umot already poverty-strick
en, but absolutely beggared. Let our
readers imagine what the condition of
the loyal States would be if all our na
tions 1 securities, now in the hands if
the people, were made suddenly worth
less ; if the bonds of the individual
States were reduced in value one-half,
tttid made unsaleable at almost any price;
if the bank circulation were caused to
suddenly disappear ; if the greenbacks
were wiped out like pencil marks, by a
damp sponge ; if the nineteeri-twen.
tieiha of the manufacturing machinery
were destroyed ; if three-fourths of the
domestio animals were killed off; if
half of the household furniture, conveni
ences and utensil* were broken up; if
half of the young men in the country
were slain; if the labor system, such
as we have enjoyed, word utterly up
turned ; if all public nod private credit
•ere an fardestroyed that no State
could borrow a dollar, and no loan
could buy lor bis note a bushel if
corn ; if iu a word, out of ail our form
er wealth nothing but weedy land and
a heritage of disorder remained—itu
seine the loyal States, wo say. so redao
cd, and wo have a picture of what the
South ia to-day 1
if it wore possible to add to the disiu
hilltie* of a people already so poor in all
that constitutes wealtti ; if thorn were
no such thing in thowconomy of God or
man ns tho forgiveness of sins, if it were
possible, even, to punish six millions of
people by the in.position of the penAties
that may be fitted to an individual—
wliat, we ask, would Mr. Steveua ac
complish by the incorporation of his
proposal into law? Will he increase
the average loyalty of the people to the
Government of the United States by
taming them out of thehomeß in which
they now barely subsist? Will tho
productive industry of tho South bo ins
creased by new obstacles in the way of
tilling her fields 7 Will harmony be
twean the unreconciled sections be pro
moted by this now and potent oadse of
estrangement and hate ? No, Mr. Ste
vens, no ! lint suppose the public good
and the demands of justice tna lo confis
cation even remotely justifiable, how
would wo proceed ? Who will buy the
property thnt Mr. Stevens proposes that
the Marshal rosy take? The negroes
have nothing ; the whites have nothing;
there is no emigration Southward—in
the condition of affairs created by this
measure there could be no emigration.—
Where, thon, is the market for the con
fiscated estates ? Is there so little land
in this broad conntry that Northern
men will go South to buy property that
cirriel with it an entail of irreconcila
ble hate and possibly of blood ? Are
Europeans so lavish of their lives thut
they covet homes that cun he at the
most hut insecurely held by p'rpetual
vigilance and tho repeating rifle ? Arc
there any people, anywhere, who long '
for the state of society that genoral or
partial confiscation iu the South would
create—for tho wayside assassinations
of intruding landlords, for retaliatory
measures directed against ejected own
ers, for the bitter feuds nud animosities
that would end only in the death of
'banishment of those who aro parties
thereto. Or docs the government—
stepping out of its legitimoto functions
—desire to be the great landlord and
lesser of half the real estate in a do
ma n on which an empire might be
founded, having always an army of de
pendents ready to Jo its will.
These nre only interrogative sugges
tions, but they point out in u general
way, the objections that we hold to he
valid against the whole confiscation
scheme; and we are cure they will
strike our readers as forcibly ns they
huve imprassed us ; aud, having con
sidered them, they will agree with the
ablest thinkers and wisest statesmen of
our party, that confiscation would be a
cruelty for which no necessity has yet
arisen—for which none will aris^
Thi Elections in Jones. —A corres
pondent of tho Macon Telegraph, writ
ing from Clinton, Ga., Nov. 4th, says:
“The polls closed hero on Saturday
evening, after five day’s election, the
result of which was 034 votes cast, all
for a Convention and 'relief; and be it
said to the honor of Jonea county, that
no white man voted.
"The whole affair has, to my mind,
been very strangely und shamefully
conducted the orders from Gen. Pope—
if I understand them—required the
managers to take tho test oath, which
they refused to do, und did not take it.
One of the Registrars, and a candidate
also, officiated during the first day’s
election, and he, together with anoth
er candidate, kept the lists of voters du
ring tho greator part of the day, and
instructed the managers to disregard the
list of registered 1 voters, and the voters
were polled without reference thereto.—
Tho hooks of registration were open,
and persons (Radicals of course) were
allowed to register and vote during tho
elesuiou. Several were allowed to vote
•ho were under twentysono years of
age, and no doubt many more, unknown,
did tho same thing. Some sow of the
oolored persons did not vote, while
soino of the nitre Radicals, of their col
or, are much exasperated thereat, and
nre collecting their names to forward to
General Pope, because they have dared
to exercise their right under the Uncon
stitutional - Reconstruction - Shei m an-
Shellab&rger bill, to veto as they pleas
ed.
“These, Messrs. Editors, nre faotsthnt
can bo proven by substantial testimony,
and are not written by me through ma
lice or envy, but that the world.may
know the frauds practiced by those who
would sell their country for money.”
