Houtlmit Enterprise (SEMI-WEEKLY.) L. C. BRYAN, : : : : Editor. THOMASVILLE, GA.: FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1867. t3F“ Mr. N. H. St ait ruck is our authorized Agent for the City of Savannah, to receive and receipt for advertising and subscriptions to the Southern Enterprise. WHY IS IT. The Columbus Enquirer says, th e Rome papers state, that the Boards of Registration have been ordered by Gen. Pope to give no reports of registration, nor allow any to be taken from their books. The Enquirer says, we were before aware that the registers of this district had received sim lar instruc tions, but we did not before know that it was a general order. The reason of it says the Enquirer, is a mystery to us, as the papers mado no charge for such publications.” Wc think we can ex plain the mystery for our cotemporary of the Enquirer, without exploring Gen. Pope’s budget for Washington. If the reports should be given now to the press, they might be compared hereafter when the election astonishes all lovers of right and justice, by show ing an overwhelming Radical Majorit ty. Before publication, therefore, they must be examined by o u r Radical Union loving patriots, and if it should appear that there is a large majority of white voters registered in Georgia, that lucky clause in the Military re construction Acts of Congress, will be applied to the books of registration and all anti-reconstructionists, “ad herents of Hill, Johnson and Perry,” including the editors of the Enquirer and Enterprise, will be stricken out. POPE’S GREAT LETTER. We dont exactly agree with the Chronicle & Sentinel that Pope “ would not have written his letter t,o Grant had he been apprised of the decapitation of Stanton and Sheridan.” He may or may not have been aware of the steps taken by the President ; but Gen. Pope, in our, opinion wrote that letter with a view of rousing the Northern Radicals once more as a check to the President’s progress. — Pope seems to think the President was making too much headway, for Radical success, and remembering the old rallying key note of “rebels still,” he thought lie might gain a little no toriety and attract public attention to himself by representing to Thud. Ste vens, Sumner, Wilson & Cos, that the South was “still rebellious.’’ We have never seen a more incongruous incon sistent, jutnblcd up piece of composition than his letter to Grant, and his in consistences arose from bis want of the politicians shrewdness and sagacity, to harmonize his fears, his wishes and his knowledge of the true situation. He could not conceal his ambition, he possessed not the ability to make him self understood and he had not the wisdom to remain silent —hence his ridiculous letter to Grant, which is now being laughed ut all over the North ns well as the South. GEN. POPE’S SEDITION The National Intelligencer commen ting upon Gen. Dope’s letter to Gen. Grant, writes him down as willing to encourage all men of prejudice against the reconstruction sch iute, to hasten their banishment that he, Dope, tnay enjoy an indefinite military rulo over his district. lit conclusion tho Intel ligencer says : “Wc iuvite the attention of the leading members of Congress, of tho President, and ot Gen. Grant to tho seditious course of General Dope.” CHANGED HIS MIND. Admiral Seinmos, recently advised the people of Tennessee to vote for reconstruction, ho now says “iho de velopments since made havo shown without a doubt that Congress was not in earnest whott it called upon the people to put thoir shoulders to the wheel and help to extricate the politi cal wagon from the mire.” Others will get thoir eyes opon beloro long. ANOTHER COLORED CON GRESSMAN. Ellick Maiialy a colorod man, has announced himself in tho Macon Telegraph, as a candidate for Congress in the 4tli District. District Meeting The Bain, bridge District Meeting, South Geor gia Conference, will convene in Alba ny Methodist Church on Thursday the sth of September. The dclogatcs elect, on arriving at Albany, will re port at Sim’s Livery stable where a committee will receive them.— Album/ News. Not Suppressed. Tho Albany News was not suppressed by Genera] Dope, as reported ; but tho editor says, “what he most lears is suppression by his friends, nnd that if they do not come to his rescue, now that ho is de. prived of all legal advertisements, be must go under, as he has no other means to fall back on.’’ Progress of the Good Work.— Stanton, Sheridan, Sickles: These are the three woithies, whoso heads have gone to the block. The Presi dent has gone to work in earnest, and we think he means to clean out the “Augean stables” before Congress meets. He has now been all round Pope, and is no-doubt, critically sur vejing his position. [FOR TIIE SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.] TEXAS -STOCK RAISING. In the coast counties of South-West ern Texas, stock raising is the leading interest, while in the more interior counties farming is first in the order of profitable pursuits, and stock rais ing second. Jackson county, lying immediately on Lavacca bay, is one of the chief cattle producing counties in the State. The number of cattle put down in the Texas Almanac is 77,000, but the people of the county told me the number was too small —that the writer of that county report took that number from the tax book, when the truth was, that tax payers did not know how many cows they had, when their stocks amounted to 20,000 or more, and it was quite likely that a tax payer’s guess would fall below the truth. Let this be as it may, one thing is certain, to travel, as I did, on one of those great prairies for half a day, and at no time be out of sight of from 500 to 2000 head, would cause any one to admit that the number in the Almanac was not too large, if large enough. Victoria county is not much behind Jackson, if any. Every man has stock a plenty to Bupply all his wants, whether he raises to sell or not; for it costs him nothing to raise horses, cattle, hogs, sheep and goats, but that of looking after them a little, and the trouble of marking and branding, &c. The manner of raising cattle is the same as in the range in this country, but the method of raising horses and mules is peculiar, consisting of consid erable science. The mares are divided into bunches or classes of twenty five each, with one stallion to each bunch. The stallion and his twenty-five mares is called a cav i-ard —the word being Spanish, as I was informed by an in telligent stock man on the Gauda’oupe. He also informed me that the Mexi cans called the same tiling by a differ ent name. There are some other tech nicalities connected with the science of horse raising, which I have forgot ten, and which convey allusions to the more delicate parts of the business. — For instance, let me explain as mod estly as I can : —A man wants to raise mules, but the stallion is as indispen sable to the cav-i-ard* as the jack. The stallion is the “herder, ’’ i.e. he watch es over his cav-i-ard as his family, suf fering none of his mares to go abroad to frolic, nor does lie allow any sport ing filley from another cav-i aid to in trude upon his family circle to play her pranks. The old fellow observes order and all good fidelity at 1 onic and never goes abroad to break the peace of another family. I would not make these statements, if 1 had not heard them affirmed and reaffirmed by the most intelligent and reliable stock raisers in that country. The jack is no “herder.’’ The stallion then must be retained with all his efficiency as a “herder’’ unimpaired, while lie must be rendered impotent for the produc tion of colts. This requires a surgical operation of such a delicate nature, as calls for the aid of a scientific operator. This operation over and all is ready for the introduction of the jack. The caviard thus furnished, all a e kept up in an ample lot for a few weeks, where the jack and stallion has a desperate fight, in which the jack is always the victor, and the caviard is reedy to be turned out on (lie prairie to roam at large. Colts are raised to tho age of three or four years old, with no ex pense but the little attention necessary to prevent the caviard from straying out of their range. At tho age of about three years old, the colts, whe ther horse or mule, arc sold utibroke from the caviard, or gathered out of tho caviards and driven off to the States for sale. Mule colts, unbroke, on the prairie, are worth from thirty to sixty dollars. Horse colts under the same circumstances, am worth from fifteen to twenty dollars. Mules are usually sold to Kentucky drovers at the above figures, and they, after keep ing them a few months, sell them to ns for $150.00, more or less. The Texas mule, though of medium size, is very tough and serviceable. From reading the Texas Almanac, one would bo led to conclude that sheep raising was the most profitable stock business in Texas, but on my ar riving there, and from reports of most of the stock men, 1 might have con cluded that nothing was a more losing business than sheep raising, and vet, almost everybody had sheep. A few of the most intelligent told mo, how ever, that wool paid better than al most any thing else, where the she. p were well attended to. And this, j from all tho information I could ob tain from all classes 1 believe to ho a I correct statement in reference to sheep ; growing in that State. The sheep, in all countries, is a timid animal, and is extremely liable to diseases of various kinds, which, together with dogs and I wolves, destroy sometimes whole flocks, if not closely attended to. That tho largest number of those who havegono to Texas and invested in sheep, have lost by the operation is true l liavo no doubt ; but. it is equally true that ev ery such failure in sheep raising, may be justly attributed to u want of pro per attention. Tho truth is, sheep re quire more attention than is con-pati. Ido with tho indolent habits of tho people. The presence of a shepherd is necessary at all times, to guard the flock from dogs, wolves. &o. And I then there arc the va.tuus diseases to j euro, especially that soourgo of Texas \ sheep, called the “scab ’’ But a very intelligent gentleman, who had raised wool, said to me, that thore was no tuoro necessity for a sheep to have the “scab,’’ than thcro was for a chil 1 to have a louzy head ; but then it requires the attention of someone to go with the sheep every day, and besides the oversight of the owner constantly, at intervals of one to two or three weeks. I have no hesitation in saying, that sheep thus attended to, will pay at least fifty per cent, on the capital in vested, and favorable years will pay as high as one hundred per cent. 1 have been thus particular on sheep raising, because there may be those who are looking to the business.— Sheep are worth from SI.OO to $2.00 per head, according to quality. W. Blewet. *1 spell the word as it sounded to my ear. Prom Washington. Washington, August 27.—The breach between the President and Gen eral Grant is widening. General Grant is on defiant ground, in opposition to the Executive assignments. He pro tests with some indignation, against General Hancock’s removal from the Department of Missouri. Grant lias not yet promu’gated instructions carry ing the President’s orders into effect. Executive Mansion, ) Washington, August 26, 1867. j Brevent Major-General R. S. Canby is hereby assigned to the command of the Second Military District, created by an Act of Congress of March 2, 1867, and of the Military Department of the South, embracing the States of South and North Carolina. He will, as soon as practicable relieve Major- General Daniel E. Sickles, and on assuming the command to which he is hereby assigned, will, when necessa« ry to a faitful execution of the laws, exercise any and all powers conferred by acts of Congress upon the District Commanders, and any and all authority pertaining to officers in command of the military departments. Major-Gen. eral Daniel E. Sickles is hereby re lieved from the command of the Sec ond Military District. The Secretary of War ad interim will give the necessary instruction to carry this order into effect. Andrew Johnson. To-day the Tribune hugs Grant and the Herald drops him, saying the political position assumed by General Grant shows our great soldier in anew light. It is his first developement of political genius—his first and final mis take. The reply of the President has completely overthrown him and out flanked him. Gen. Grant does not understand tho crisis, lie clirgs to Sheridan and forgets principles. Notes on the Situation- No 17. IJY B. 11. HILL. No nation or people ever realized, during tin 1 descent, how rapidly they were rushing to destruction. If peo ple could only be made to see whither they were hurrying they would not go. Those who do see and rrise a voice of earnest warning, are generally considered as excited—sometimes as mad. People will not believe their own leaders will sell them or betray them until the bond is executed or the treachery is complete. Here is tho trouble wiili our Northern friends. The masses love the Union and the Constitution. They have shown that love. But they will not see that tho very men they send to Congress are trampling on the Constitution and for ever destroying the Union. Those who undertake to lay bare to a people the corruptions of their own leaders assumes a task as difficult as it is dan gerous. The wicked become their enemies and use every means to de. stroy their power, and the good will not believe their revelations or heed their warnings. Yet no man who ever undertook such a task was ever able to tell all the real truth. The realties of national misfortunes and downfalls arc always far greater than tho descriptions of those who, by warnings, sought to prevent tit :m So the measures which produce na tional ruin arc never fully understood until the ruin is beyond remedy. Do' nounce them as you may, and they aro always worse than you said they were. History furnishes us many sad illustrations of these solemn truths.— To recite them would be instructive, but I will not now delay to do so. The Military Bills will furnish one of tho most striking proofs, in the fu ture, of the truths 1 have uttered. 1 am denounced as a calumniator be. eauso of what I havo said of these measures and their authors and sup porters. Time will prove my language to bo tamo and leeble. Every day ! something is developed which gives ' them a more infamour character than was ever suspected before! I have denounced tlioso measures ns being contrary to tho Constitution ; as abro gating State government; as degra ding tiro white ntoo ; as calculated in evitably to beget n war of races ; ns destructive of all constitutional liber | ty; ns being enacted in fraud, execu ted by force, and consummated by per jury. Can anything be worse l you will ask. 1 reply, yos; these very hills are infinitely worse. I find 1 havo never fully—indeed but vaguely —comprehended their turpitude. 1 I have ull along supposed that odious as | they were, tho people —a people— were, at least, allowed a semblance of right to reject them and, of course, by rejecting them escape the purposes and objects of the measures. 1 had frequently called attention to the fact that Congress had devised a schemo of relieving themselves of tho odium of theso measures by at least seeming to submit to same people the privilege of accepting or rejecting them. This, I supposed, also exhibi ted a lingering, though farcical, re spect for the once pure and great idea that the people—at least some people —should have a government founded in their consent. And this I had sup posed was tho reason for permitting the voters to express their approval or disapproval of the scheme by endors ing on their rickets “lor a Convention” or “against a Convention ’’ But in this I have been greatly mistaken.— What I have been laboring so earnest ly to prove was a cheat turns out to be a trap —a snare—a downright pit fall! This is one of the remarkable disclosures made in Governor Brown’s last article reviewing the notes. Hear him : “If we reject and vote down the Convention, when Congress again meets in December, it will pass an act extending the disfranchisement to every man who votes against the Con< vention, whether white or black, and probably to all others who voluntarily aided the rebellion.” If Congress never intended to abide the decision of its own selected qualified voters, why ask for a decision 7 But let us hear the Governor fully. I wi 1 not imitate his example by cutting sen tences in two and changing words to represent him as saying just the re verse of what he does say. “ But it may be asked why disfran chise a man because he votes against the Convention 7 The reply is, Con gress, representing the conqueror, has submitted its pian for reconstruction and restoration of the Uuicn, and the vote of each man, white or black, will be looked to as a test of his loyalty and willingness to see the Union re stored and peace once more establish ed. The tickets of all, black and white, will, no doubt, be numbered, and it will be an easy matter for tho Government to see how each voted. — The question is not whether wo will allow the freedmen to vote. That is already established beyond revoca-- tion.” Again lie says : “ Mark it -be not deceived. If you vote down the Con vention, in less than two years Geor gia will be reconstructed with a repre sentation in Congress ; the great mass of white men in Georgia, including all who vote against the Convention, will be disfranchised ; and there will be a very general confiscation of property to pay the war debt and pension Union soldiers who were disabled in the war.” Now, let every man, in Georgia and in the United States, fairly analyze the above remarkable disclorurcs. In the first place, the object of sub mitting the plan of reconstruction to tho vote of the people is not to asceri tain the will of the people with a view of respecting that will. Georgia is to be reconstructed anyhow in two years, even though the people vote against it. The people are to vote, but the vote is not to decide the question voi ted on ! In tho next place, wc are not called on to decide “whether we will allow the freedmen to vote.” “That,” we arc distinctly told, “is already estab lished,” and established ‘ beyond re vocation.” If wc were not all ciphers we might ask, when, where, how and by whom was this established ! But what is the object 7 If you did not intend to abide the decision why ask it 7 The vote is asked as a means of ascertaining who is loyal. — “The vote of each man will be looked to as a test of of his loyalty.” Loyal ty, then, is not to depend upon sup port of, or adherence to the Coi)3titu tion. It is not to depend upon con nection with the rebellion ! A man may have come from the North ; he may have fought four full years in the Union army ; still, if ho has settled in Georgia and votes against tho Conven tion, ho is d-sloyal ! It does not dc pend on color. “Whether black or white,” if he votes against the Con vention he is disloyal. Tho tickets of all, black and white, will he num bered ! So, a man may be a Norihcrn man —a Northern black man—or a Northern black Union soldier—but if he votes “against Convention” he is dishyal! And so a man may boa Southern man—an original secession ist—and a real white n an—a South, ern white Confederate soldier who fought four years for the Confederacy —but if he only votes for a Conven tion he is to be considered loyal! But why : s a vote for or against a Convention to be taken ns the test of loyalty or disloyalty '! Because it is a vote for oi against the plan “submitted by Congress.” Which plan is to se cure ten States to the Radical party. Here is plainly confessed what l have labored to prove; whoever is a Radical is loyal. The Radical party is thus substituted for the laws, for the Union, and for the Government! People of the United States, was it lor this you fought '! Did the South, sure enough, fight for the Constitution, and the North for the Radical party 7 But this is not all 7 Why so anx ous to ascertain who is loyal, or rather disloyal T Because all who, by this test, are ascertained to be disloyal, aro to be disfranchised and their pro perty is to bo confiscated ! Thus, it turns out, that the only feature in this Congressional recon struction plan, which had even a far cical resemblance to anything virtuous, is shown to be a snare, a trap, a dis graceful, deceitful, iniquitous inquisi tion. I affirm there is nothing in the dark, cruel and bloody history of the inquisition of the Jesuits, surpassing this schemo in the iniquity of its con ception, in tho hypocrisy of its plan of execution, or in the villainy of its pur. pose. And dark, cruel and bloody, beyond any precedent in the past, will bo many years of American history if this plan bo consummated. I have said, and I now re-affirm with all added emphasis, that the time will soon come when not a decent, respectable man will be found in the Radical party. I beg all such, mw lingering in it, to consider wither wc aro going. If all who vote agaiust the Convention arc to bo disfranchised, only negroes and a few Africauiaed whites will be left to r ile tho country. Does any »<i«e man believe such a rule possible 7 Under pretence of restoring the Union teu negro -States are to be formed ! Un der pretence of allowing the people to rote, a hunt is devised to find victims for disfranchisement and robbery ! And all these thing# done under oaths to support the Constitution ! If this be only a threat, originating with Gov. Brown, what shall bo said of a Southern man who would manu facture 6uch a threat against his own people 7 If it be the real purpose of the so-called Congressional plan, what American citizen, after understanding it, can be so lost to every sense of jus tice, of decncy, of manhood, of honesty and of honor, as to support cither the plan or the party which could desire to adopt it, or whose existence could depend on its success. If it be a desperate threat how cow ardly are they who will be alarmed by it ? If it be the real purpose, how base is be who could possibly support it 7 So in any view it is absolutely nec essary for every man who would pre serve moral, political or social respect, or any sense of manhood, either not to vote at all, or vote, like a man, “against a Convention.” Gov. Brown makes another very re markable statement. He tells us that almost all the entire property of Geor gia is “already confiscated l’ 1 And, reader, how 7 He says by the Act of July, 1862. And this singular sate rnent is made by one who has been Governor of our State—who tells you he is a lawyer, and has a good profes sion. In reply to this I say : 1. That this act w. s unconstitution al and void, even as a war measure, and has been declared so even by some of the courts of tho Northern'St ites. 2. That if constitutional as a war measure, then, by its very nature, it could only be of force during the war, operating on property seized during the war, and necessarily ceased to have any force as soon as the war ended, and such has been declared to be the law by the courts of even Massachu setts. 3. That the Act on its very face makes itself only a war measure, and declares its only puipose to be “to in sure the speedy termination of the pres eqt rebellion.” Thus over the nature of the subject —over the nature of the act —over de cisions of Northern courts —over the declared purpose of the act, nnd, I will add, over the express authority of every respeetablo international law writer in existence. Governor Brown tells tho people of Georgia this act is still of force, and by it their property is already confiscated. Why don’t the President execute it 7 He seems to feel bound to exe cute all acts of Congress. Governor Brown tells us that “Thaddeos Stevens arraigns the President for having fail ed to execute it.” Well, I do not know what Stevens has done. Heaven for bid I should keep posted in his opin ions, or quote his acts or threats as au thority for any people. But I believe Governor Brown has slandered even poor old Thad. Stevens. He and Sum ner have both been trying to induce Congress to pass bills to confiscate par tially our property. Why ask sueli bills if they already have one by which the property had already been confiscated 7 Not long since it was stated Mr. Stevens was perfecting a bill for mild confiscation, which lie hoped to get through Con gress if ho could live five years longer. Why pray for five years to perfect a partial measure of confiscation when one more extensive is already on the statute book unrepealed 7 Why send even the resolution 7 Has not Con gress been anxious to find a reason to impeach the President! Wly not im peach for refusing to execute a law which was passed by Congress and approved by the Executive 7 1 have desired to find some excuse for Gov. Brown’s advocacy of tho mili tary bills. But I am utterly unable to palliate bis conduct. Ho rushed out in support of the Sherman bill be fore the President had acted on it, and before Congress had passed it over his veto—thus weakening the President and encouraging the Congress. He was then declaiming against the case pending in the Court beloro the Court had decided it. And now what Ste vens and Sumner have been vainly trying to induce Congress to do against the Southern people, this man finds out is “already done.” No need for poor old man Stevens to live five years more Do let him be informed oi' thi< great discovery of the “often-honored” Southern statesman, that ho may die in peace ! Every decent Radical paper in the North has denounced the idea of con fiscation—even Mr.Slovens’ mild con fiscation—as disgi aceful robbery .which would nuke the nation stink with in famy ; aud yet Governor Brown—so willing to sacrifice himself for the dear poor people —has continued to threaten us with confiscation —“the sleeping lion on the speaker's desk” —and now at last, proclaims our property already confiscated. The terrible lion has waked up, crawled off tho speaker’s desk, and actually entered the “staute book !’’ Man, alas ! is a more dangerous ani mal than the lion. And better that all the lions of the earth were turned loose upon the American people than that this Radical party should be al lowed longer to tear the American Constitution and prey upon American liberty. “Poor-wan ' I knew he would no« he a wolf Hut that he tret the Romans art but thtrp; He were no lion, trerr not Romans kinds. The President to be. Sustained The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier says: “Whatever the President has done or may do in opposition to the ascen dancy of the negro political power in the South, will be hailed with gratitude and satisfaction by the great comcr vative mass of the North. The Rad ical capitalists are but just beginning to open their eyes to the new dangers threatening them. fcSTGcn. Grant and the President were at variance upon the removal of Gen.

We are satified, however, that no man will be permitted to play the monarch in this country with imnunity. With the consent of Europe—we might say of the civilized world—the Monroe doctrine has become the settled policy of this country in respect to domains on this Continent outside of the juris diction of tho United States; and it could hardly be supposed that in this Republic men ‘dressed in a little brief authority’ will long be allowed to exer cise a despotism, for which they can find no warrant even in the uconstitu* tional acts of Congress, and which tar exceeds in atrocity any tyranny in the Old World.” tWaT - Whenever an article of benefit to the public presents itself, it is the duty of the journalist to call attention thereto.
