Southern White Representation
in Congress-
The New York World lately devel
oped a plan tor ousting the negro cle
ment Lorn the Thirty-Ninth Congress
and securing a white representation
from the South in that body. Its
project was characterized by some of
the Radical papers as revo utioriary
and tbs World retorts upon them in
the following clear and convincing
manner, saying.
We assumed that immediately on
the election of a democratic President
and House of Representatives, the
Southern whites would reorganize
their State governments’ oust ilio ne.
grots, hold new elections and send
members to Congress. Ihe point at
issue is whether the recognition of
such governments by the admission of
the new members would ho ‘revolt)-
ary.’ It is a point easily decided.—
The Republican party lias educated
the people lo believe that Congress
iias the most absolute discretion in de
ciding what is not. a valid State gov
ernment.
The Thirty.nii.th Congress exercis l
cd such discretion in upsetting the
governments of fen States ; and the
imputation to which wo are replying
assumes that the Fortieth Congress
will exercise an equally broad di.-crc
tion by recognizing State governments
built upon a negro basis- Nobody
can dispute that the Forty-first Con
gress will possess all the powers which
belonged to its j redecessors; and
among others that of deciding what is
the legitimate local govern incut iir'any
Stale. Jt hence follows that the next
....... j™. u- nee to recog
nize new white, as this Congress is to
new negro governments in the South
ern States. The Time- and Tiibunu
mu-t admit this, or sec that their
charge of ‘revolutionary’ proceedings
can be retorted. * * *
I>y the Constitution a majority of
the Senate, therefore j posses es au
thority to organize and act as that
body Our suggestion was, that when
the Northern Conservative Senators
and Southern Senators are a majority
the Senate will have passed out of the
control of the Republicans. The idea
that the republican minority will set
themselves lip for the Sena'e is pre
posterous. What would they gain hj
it T Being a minority they "could
merely adjourn from day to day, hut.
could transact no business. When
the House shall havp-admitted the
Southern Representatives and the Pci
publicans have dwiddled to a minor,
ity in tbc Senate, there is no danger
that this helpless minority will stand
out and attempt to resist the course of
events. If the Hcinocrats elect the
next President and a majority of the
next House, the bastard negro gov.
crnuients may he quietly displaced
without a resort to any n volutionary
proceeding*, or to any mcasuuscs fur
which the Republisau party lias not
set precedents.
The late elections having demons
trated that the country will nut sus
tain universal negro suffrage, the Re
publicans cannot expect to carry the
I're sidential election on (but issue.

THE TAX.
The great scarcity of money ren
ders the payment of the tuxes now
duo, extremely difficult with many
persons, and sortie, will be entirely
unable to pay them by Saturday next,
which is the last day. In view of
these things it is advisable to extend
the time to the first of January, and
we hope the Inferior Court, as far as
is in its power, will grant the exten
sion. The State authorities, we tire
satisfied, will also extend the time
upon application being made.
WIIAT SHALL WE DO?
From all quarters information is
brought to us that cows, hogs and
poultry are being slaugl tcred indis
criminately by thieves. It is now itn
pessibl to keep a fat cow, calf or hog,
and ;he fowl houses arc boldly enter
ed and robbed. There is a class of
lazy vagabonds that do nothing but
steal, and arc constantly prowling
around day and night looking for op
portunities. Can not, something be
done to stop this plunder!' The lion l
est and industrious people, both white
and black, should hold a meeting and
organize a police force to protect their
property, and put. down the tobbers.
Prompt action would stop it.
TRIAL OF MR. DAVIS.
Si the trial of Ex-President Davis
has been deferred to March next, and
lie is to be tried on a new indictment.
The truth is, the Government, which
means Congress, does not wish to try
him at a l l, because lliey fear lie can
not bo convicted and in that event a
grand explosion ol their cent: ulizatiOii
ideas will take place and the States
regain their sovereign Independence,
according to the law of the Goostitu
tion. This Government can exuston
no other principle than that of the ac
knowledged sovereignty of tlio States,
and the creators, not the creatures of
Congress. Pet the Radicals twist and

Good Advico from Horace Gvooly.
The following excellent advice to
young men is from Horace Greeley.
It. (’eserves to he printed in letters of
gold,and ought to ho road morning
noon and night by cvrey hoy and girl in
the land.
Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, con
tempt, suspicion, unjust reproach, are
disagreeable. Rut debt is infinitely
worse than them all . And, it it pleased
God to spare either or all of my som
tube th ■ support and solace of my de
clining years, the lesson which 1
should have most earnestly sought to
impress upon them is—never run into
debt Avoid pecuniary obligations as
you would pcs:dunce or famine. If
you have but fifty cents, and can get
no more for a week, buy a peek of corn,
parch it and live on it, rather than
owe any man a dollar.

TO THE CITIZENS OF THOM
AS COUNTY.
Fdloic-CUizcns:
At the request of sumo friends I am in
duced to address you through flic columns
of the Southern Enterprise for tlie purpose
of correcting some false-impressions that
have been made upon the public mind, and
to state to you some serious, siber, candid
fads in regard to the building of the South
Georgia and Florida Railroad; and I hope
you will throw aside all prejudice, and
give to my statements a fair and impartial
reasoning in your mind.
It is reported that we will carry the
Road to Newton anil wait for the Legisla
ture to alter the Gharterand go somewhere
else. We mean to do no such thing. We
intend to go to Albany; that is the road
we want. It is the only Road that gives
us a short route to Macon, and puls us in
direct communication with the West, North
and North-West, the granaries of tiie Ame
rican Continent.
A great many just, and good men have
the impression (and honestly, too,) on their
minds that the money they pay in taxes
for the Railroad will be small and will he
u-elesdy spent by the Company in Engi
neering to make a survey of the route, ond
then the prosecution of the work on the
Road will die out for want of means. 1
say candidly to all such, (hat the Company
will not spend one dollar of your money
unless there is a prospect, of a sin e success
in grading iho Road. 1 pay taxes for I lie
county, taxes for the city, and am, in nddi
j tion, a stockholder, and 1 assure you, if 1
I thought my taxes and private stock would
lie foolishly squandered, 1 would not give
my consent lo any such foolish and useless j
waste of my money, and I hope you will I
give me credit for managing my means so |
as not to throw it atcua. Therefore, to all j
such friends, 1. say lo you emphatically,
not one dollar of your money shall be jiaid
out foolishly , and if there is no chance of |
success in doing (lie work, I pledge tnyself S
to return to each and every tax payer, !
while and black, eve y dollar of your lax, !
If y our t ax cannot he used honestly and to ad -
runtagr it shall, be yaid back to yon. 1 con
say nothing more tMie or make you a fair
er proposti ion.
Some fiiends have an idea that the In
ferior Court will order a eolleciiun of tax
three or four times during tlie year. I
will answer that by saying, the lews of
Georgia will not. allow a collection of tax
of any kind, but once, even/ year, lint aside
from that, tiie Inferior Comt have no idea
of laying upon the people a burdensome
Railroad tax. They will not.'ou den them
selves. The fax is twenty cents on every
hundred dollars, and no more. Surely
this is not a great burden.
Some (and a goodly number) of honora
ble. just, go u men, desire to have the
Road, but oppose it because they think the
llond sboithl be built exclusively by pri
vate enlei pi iso and sabsci ip.ion. I have
no word of unkind ness to any of these
biends. 1 will simply say to this class,
there are enough of you if you would
come uj> like men to our help. and ‘p uve
your faith by your works,” by subscribing
of your means liberally lo help build the
Road. The nc< rs-ity of Ibis tax upon the
county generally would be obviated And
I promise you in helnilf of the Inferior
Court, if you will hold a meeting and make
up a liberal subscription, that the amount
you thus subscribe sliail he taken front the
county subscription, I would say to you
that it was owing to your apathy and re
fusal lo lake l lie slock that nas ntrdrd , that
the cm nly was made a stockholder and
your properly taxed. There is six million
dollars taxable property in Thomas comi
ty, and surely the people of the cuuuly
can sub-ci ibe one hundred thousand dol
lars lo the Railroad, A lew shares divid
ed equally among Iho citizens would easily
make tlie sum.
A I rge and rcspcclablo number of the
i.,. u i ippunuiao iKuiu, ami are witl
ing lo make war against the payment of
the tax on constitutional grounds, and are
now canvassing for subscribers lo raise
money to fee a lawyer to lay an injunction
oil the whole project. Among that num
ber are many strong personal friends.—
Friends, come, let us reason together.—
Have you ever been engaged in an expen
sive and vexatious lawsuit '! Have you
counted die anxiety of mind and (he dollars
it. will cost you ? Have you thought that
1110 case may and will, in all probability,
have to be tried in another county ? be car
ried from court to court, thereby Inoicas
mg (lie anxiety and the costs? I,et mo ap
peal to you.to put aside all your passions
anti prejudices and look at this matter
calmly. When yon conic to count the del
tars that, you will give to a lawyer, and
other costs, you will see that the same
amount paid now ns your lax would lie just
that, amount saved to you, for you trill yet
stock in the Hod ood for your tux, ’that is
the privilege I he Inferior Oouvt gives you,
Hint when you get tax receipts for one hun
dred dollars the county will turn over to
you one share of stock. So you see you
prr llonny reap the benefit ot tlio tax you
pay. Now which is most to your interest,
i to have one hundred dollars invested in
a vexatious lawsuit, or to have ono share
of Railroad stunk, that the dividend from
it, when the ISoud is etmpbt. and, will Imv
you one barrel of Ilnur every year? That i
is a plain matter of la -t. ns i will show by
the figures of an able and competent Civil
Kugineer, Mr. Maxwell, the present Kngi
ncer building the Read to liaiuliridge, in
his estimate ot freight and travel over the i
South (Icorgia and florid i Railroad shows
conclusively that it will pay 1 Jpercent, j
annually to the Stockholders. lint some
of you say, in the language of America’s !
greatest oral or, “Millions for defense not j
one rent for tribute,” in other words, you
will contribute nil you have in mi endless I
lawsuit rather than he compelled in do a j
thing. iMy friend, that is just what you I
will ilo if you do not help with your lax to !
build the Railroad. Von are paying a tax j

yon are benefited That is the secret ot

I have said nothing about lard, a heavy
item, nor mill gearing or castings, all of
which are largely manufactured at Macon
and Atlanta, and are sold cheaper than at
Savannah.
I have no doubt if all the items could be
obtained accurately, that (lie saving of
Height alone would amount to sso,(Alt) per
annum.
The Tax, the highest thought of by the
Inferior Court, lias not exceeded ten thou
sand dollars per annum: and yet you. tax
your pockets annually four times that sum.
I ask you if this is good economy in
these hard times? and is it a good legacy
to leave your children ? Way fellow citi
zens, the lax you pay annually imper
ceptibly, been jsc the tax collector dotit go
round and ask for it, will pay the whole
county subscription in less than three
years, and yet you propose to spend nwe
money to fee lawyers to get rid of taxation !
If you are determined to have a lawsuit,
let me advise you lo spend your money in
trying to make die Railroads that are built
reduce their Heights.
To one and all of you, let me say the
inspect of building the Road is far better
than you dream of. If the county, and the
City Council, will pay two installments,
and those' who have subscribed will pay
their obligations during this and the pres
ent year, we can, with tlie help we can get
abroad, grade I lie lloal the coming year.
When the grading is done with Ibe Road
bed unlettered, ample and perfect arrange
meats can be made to iron and run the
: Hoad.
W ill you throw away the present golden
i opportunity to build your iioad, or will
i you fritter away your means and your
i feelings in an unmanly and suicidal ut
temp. at a long and expensive lawsuit,
just to please and gratify a few persons
who have permitted their passions to en
j slave their reason and judgement!
The coming year, you all say, will be
; lull'd. You cannot farm on as laige a scale
as this year. Your losses have been liea
j vy and you cannot Iced the same quantity
{ you did this year, consequently a large
number of troedmen wi 1 lie out of employ
ment. What are this large class to do for
: a living? They must live; they are enti
tled to it as much so as ourselves. Have
j you though! what disposition or what labor
I to give them? The old paying that --an
idle brain is the devil’s work shop ’is true.
This popiiiat ion must be provided with la
j bor, ami Ihe Railroad is the only certain
j and good employment to oiler them. No
j corn crib is proof against an empty slotu-
I ache; neither is life safe in a hi end riot.
I Look ye well to this matter.

A Well-Merited Fate.
A letter from Anderson, Soulli
! Carolina, to tiie New Yuk Evening
j Post,, g.ves the particulars of the tiial
I of some fifty negroes who wore con
| eorned in the Perrysvillu riot in that
Stale. We quote as follows ;
The prisoners were conducted to
| the jail til Pickens by a detatcluncnt
jof Col. Smith’s command. Nine of
I these were arraigned for murder, and
also one white man, Alexander Bryce,
j President of the Lcrgnc.
S. P. Reed, Solicitor of the Histriot,
| w:.s manager ot the prosecution for
the State. During the examination of
j wit nesses on the first day of the trial,
i Mr, Peed inquired ol a colored citizen,
j then a prisoner, the motive of the
League. After refusing several times
to answer his inqu ties, the man final
ly stated that it was “ to learn laiv.’’
‘And why,’ pursued Mr, Reed,
‘should y< u guard your place of assem
bly with armed sentinels, and shut up
yourselves at night, in order to learn
law '( .1 will learn you the law on
much easier terms than that.’
This man admitted that they did
guard their place of ns emldy with
mined sentinels, hut repeated ques
tions, both from Judge I lank iue and
from Mr. Reed, I'ailed to diet Iron:
him anything further.
The evidence: against those arraign
ed was that they had gone unlawfully
to attack and to arrest the white man
They diil not intend murder, but. the
law holding that all persons who join
iu an unlawful action are responsible
for whatever coriscquetises may ensue,
they were aria'gued for murder, und
six were found guilty hy tho jury.
I hose were : December Gadsden
(he was proved to Dave tired the shot)
Henderson, Jack Walker and Nat
Frazuro. They were sentenced to be
bung on Friday, tho tith day of De.
eeuiber next.
Jack Walker is but nineteen, and
bad joined the League in opj osi'ton to
the wishes and advice of his widowed
mother.
About thirly more colored men were
also tried for ‘riot, assault and battery,
and lalse imprisonment.’ Eighteen of

One colored man confessed that
each negro, on joining the League,
binds himself 1 y an oath never to re

having his head cut oil. Ivieh ono
swears also to stand by the others in

Q, Ye- Hypocrite!
Some of the Radical hypocrites are
jeering the white people of this State
because they did not go to the polls
and keep the State from going into
the hands ot the negroes. A pretty
business, indeed, to tic a man’s hands
firm and tight and then complain that
he does not fight! The whites have
a majority in the State, but under the
gerrymandering of Pope no human
effort could have defeated the will of
the negroes. It made them supremo,
and what was the use of a contest '(—
Besides this, there was an evident in,
tendon on the part of the U. S. author
ities to take charge rs the whole thing
and put it through for the Radicals
without regard to the means employed,
and no honest man can play at such a
game.— Mo con 7' leprajili.

Officers of the Freedman's Bu
reau to be Mustered Out.
It is understood that the President
will soon order that Gen. Howard and
Gen. Gregory, both of the Freedman's
Bureau, he mustered out of the ser
vice as Major Generals of volunteers.
These are the last two officers of that
rank remaining lo be mustered out. —
Gen. Howard will still rc ain his place

out of the s rvice entirely.
Condition of the Radical Leader.
A Washington correspondent writes
that Mr. 'I liad. Stephens is in a rapid
d.clino, mentally and physically.
llis conversation upon subjects
which have long occupied his m ml is
disconnected and broken with frequent
pauses, manifesting a great effort to
confine himself to consecutive train of
thought. At intervals a gleam of cn.-
; thusiasui passes over his mind, when
I lie brightens up and utters sentences
i with and oi»pbasis. hilt sunn re
lapses into a kind t f intellectual torpor.
Physically he is greatly emaciated and
enfeebled by his recent illness. If
Mr. Stevens finds strength sufficient
to enabled him to attend the sessions
ol the con ing Congress he will he tin,
! able to take part in its p r oceedings,
and it is the general impression that
it will be his last session.
