State ot the South.

Sik—We trust that under the pe
culiar circumstances of our condition,
and of the country at large, you will
concede the right, on the part ol the
people, to know the views and candid
opinions of those in whom they have
long confided. Identified, as you are,
with every irterest of Georgia ; having
been the iccipient ot the confidence
and suffrages of our people, in a degree,
and extent unparalleled in the history
of our State; and experienced in. and
informed upon, all governmental mat
ters affecting the vital interests ot a 1
classes ot our people, it is but natural,
that m our present distressed condi
tion. we should turn to you as a senti
nel upon the watch tower, and ask
vou, - What of the night?”
' In addition to the above considera
tions, which would of themselves be
ample apology lor thus calling upon
vou, we have an increased desire to
know your honest and candid convic
tions, from the fact of your recent
sojourn in Washington Guy, where,
from your position as a statesman and
your representative charaetei, you
doubtless enjoyed unusual facilities lor
learning our exact condition as to the
present, and the probabilities as to the
future. Therefore, we sincerely and
earnestly call upon you, as we believe,
for the good ot our Slate, and every
interest ol the great masses ot our
people, to present to us fully, freely.
and frankly, your views upon the con
dition of the country ; and what course,
in your judgment, should be pursued
bv the people of Georgia in the present
crisis.
Hoping that you will accede to our
request with that frankness and candor
which his ever characterized your ac
tion as a public man, we have the
honor to he. most respectfully, yours, Ac,

Atlanta, February 23,1867.
Gentlemen: —1 have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your Kind
and flattering communication. While
1 do not pretend that I possess the
influence you are pleased to attribute
to me, 1 confess with profound grati
tude the obligations I am under to the
people of Georgia, who have so olteu
honored me with their confidence; and
have never withheld from me any
position lor which I have been a can~
didate, from the lowest to the highest
within their gift.
You are pleased to address me
the “sentinel upon the watch tower,”
and von ask me, “V\ hat ol the night
Were 1 the sentinel, I should unhesi
tatingly reply : The night is dark,
dreary, gloomy ; no rainbow of hope
spans the black impenetrable cloud
that overshadows us. Scarcely a ray
of light is seen upon its margin. But
lam not the sentinel. I hold no pub
lic position at present imposing that
responsibility, nor have I sought or
held any since the war, nor do 1 ever
expect to bold any in future,
l have no power to control events.
\Y ere it even the desire ol tire people
of my beloved State to invest me again
with official authority,and my own wish
to accept, there is a power higher than
their will, which will deny my eligi
bility.
I, therefore write, as indeed my cus
tom is. with perfect frankness, without
regard to the effect which the commu
nication of truth may have upon my
present or future popularity. I am
aware that the facts which 1 feel it my
duty to communicate, are unacceptable
to the good people of Georgia, but they
are none the less Jacts on that account.
During my late sojourn in the City
ol Washington, 1 conversed freely with j
persons high in authority in every de
partment cf the Government, and with
meu ol distinction of every shade of
political sentiment which is represent
ed there. 1 was received, as was
Judge Walker, of the Supreme Court
of this State, who accompanied me,
with kindness and courtesy. Mv ob
jeet was to learn the true State of
aflairs, and l believe 1 succeeded.— \
The result may be summed np 3s fol- !
lows; 1
'File party nsu lly designated the
••Radical party,” is sustained by the
majority of the people of the North.
The Cong--s«meu "I that party are
generally represent at ive men.
'Plie Democratic party is not sus
tained by the people of the North, and
is not gaining ground. As is always
the case after a successful war, the
party in the government which is set
down a9 opposed to the war, is unpop
ular.
The reconstruction policy of the
President is not sustained by the
popular sentiment of the Northern peo
ple.
The Radical party is at issue with
' the President. The breach is wide
j and the contest angry. They have
■ over two-thirds in each branch of
1 Congress, and have power to pass any
measure they please over his veto. —
By this means they are constantly
hedging hint in more closely, and
limiting his power. He stands firmly
by what he considers the right, and
avows his purposes to support the
Constitution, and maintain the just
rights of the Slates under tfie Consti
tution. lie still holds the doctrine that
no State could or did go out of the
Union, and that at the end of the war
he had the right to reconstruct repub
lican governments in the insurrection
ary Slates. They deny his power ol
reconstruction and contend, that as the
power to make war is vested in Con
gress, the power to make peace, and
re-establish Stale joveruments in the
States lately in rebellion, rests also
with Congress. They are a unit in
I denying the validity ol the S'ate gov
i erninents formed under the direction ol
the provisional Governors appointed
by the President. They are also a
unit in sustaining the constitutional
amendment proposed at the last session
as a basis ol reconstruction. And
since this has been rejected by the
Southern States, they now unite in the
determination, that no State shall be
re.admitted, nor shall the State Gov
ernments of ilie insurrectionary States
be recognized or established till eacli
Suite has adopted the constitutional
amendment, and incorporated into its
Constitution a guaranty of universal
manhood suffrage. Thev are. in my
opinion, also a unit in their determin
ation, so soon as three-fourths of the
Stales which they call loyal, by which
is meant, the States represented in
Congress, have ratified the constitu
tional amendment, to declare it adopt
ed, and to enforce their construction.
This, they have the power to do. It
is, therefore, a fixed fact that the con
stitutional amendment will he adopted
i in ave-v short time, as it was said
when 1 left Washington, they lacked
hut a single State, and it was expected
that moie than one would act very
soon.
Upon the above points there exists
no division of opinion which is worth
notice in the Radical party. Just here,
however, a diversity of opinion com
mences. The more radical wing of the
party, which is not a majority, nor is
it at present sustained by a majority of
the people of the North, is for setting
aside the present Slate governments as
absolutely null and void , and declaring
all acts done under them void, except
such as Congress chooses to approve ;
as the repudiation of our State war
debts, the abolition of slavery by the
Slates,&c., which they would ratify.
They also desire to place us under
military government till State govern
ments can be organized upon their
plan. In the organization they wish
to exclude, not only from eligibility to
office, but from the ballot box and the
jury box, all persons who voluntarily
participated in the rebellion, and to
place t he government of these States in
the hands of the few whom they call
loyal men among us ; and the Irced '
men, who as they expect, would form
State Constitutions forever disfranchis
ing us, and depriving us of all parties
pation in the government, or in the
execution of the laws. Ihe bills
known as the military bill and the
Louisiana bill, which passed the House,
embody substantially these measures. {
In addition to this, it is believed to be
their ultimate design to confiscate the
property of the South for the payment
of the war debt of the United States,
so soon as the popular minu North can
he educated or excited to the proper
point; and to obviate constitutional
difficulties, if any are admitted to ex
ist, by amendments conferring ithe
necessary power ratified by three
fourths of the loyal Stiles, This class
is not believed to be a large one at
present, but if we continue to reject
the terms proposed by Congress, it is
believed, it will grow rapidly in popu
lar fa* r or, in the Northern States, and
that politicians now disposed to be
more moderate wilt be obliged to bend ■
to the storm.
The other wing of the Republican !
party, called the moderate wing, do not i
desire to destroy or dtive us from the j
country. They know that commercial
and general prosperity cannot long j
continue, if the present difficulties re- j
main unadjusted, the labor and energy |
of the South paralyzed, and that finan- j
cial panic and great depression must ;
be the ultimate result, They, there- i
tore, desire a settlement of the ques~ j
lion. But they are as determined as j
the ultra wing in their opposition to j
the President’s policy, and will, at all j
hazards, mai .tain the power of Con-I
gress over the whole question of ,
adjustment. They tell us that we ,
complied with every requirement made ,
by the President, whose jurisdiction j
over that they deny, but when Congress,,
possessing as they claim, all power in
the premises, tendered us the constitu
tional amendment as a settlement,
which they claim was liberal, when
tendered bv the conquerors to the
conquered, we rejected it, and, in their
language, hurled it in their teeth.
This they say greatly irritated the
people of the North, and caused them
to demand ul us, not only the constitu
tional amendment, which we have re
jected but to add toil universal suffrage, j
And they now tell us that nothing less
will ever be accepted, by Congress or
the people of the North, and that the j
rejection of these bv the Southern peo
ple will be followed by increased rigor,
and the general exclusion of rebel?
from all political privileges, if not by
the appropriation of their property to
the use cf the govern meiit.
When asked why they did not in
form us that the adoption of the
constitutional amendment by us should I
Ibe received as a settlement, they re
j ply that they so intended it, and that
! such would have been the result. And
jas an earnest of their good faith they
i point their action in the prompt ad
mission of Tennessee when she adop
ted the amendment, and the action of
the Senate in reference to the modifi
cation of the test oath to permit one of
her Senators to take his seat who was
very hostile to their party. When
their attention is called to the fact that
the people of the South regarded it
very humiliating to be required to re
cord the decree of exclusion ol their
representative men. who only executed
their will, from positions of official
trust, they reply that the position of
the conquered is always humiliating.
But that this was no more humiliating
than it was for General Lee to surren
der his sword to General Grant, when
he had no further means of successful
resistance; and no more humiliating
than it was for us, under the direction
of the President, to meet in solemn
convention and repeal the ordinance of
secession, which we had passed with
so many demonsirations of'proud defi
ance—i o more humiliating than it was
for us, who boasted of our State credit,
to be required to repudiate our State
war debt —and no more humiliating
than it was, alter we had contemned
Mr. Lincoln’s emancipation proclama
tion, to ratify it as part of the Consti
tution ot the United Stales, and incor*
porate it into our State Constitution.
When told that so large a proportion
of our people have, at some time in
their lives, held office, and sworn to
support the Constitution of the United
Slates, the adoptnin of the amendment
will render it next to impossible for us
to organize our courts without the im
portation of judges, or to find, suitable
| men to fill our county offices, they sav
they were not aware that this class
was so large as it is now represented
to he, but that Congress will still have
the power, by a t\vo-thi r ds vote, to re
lieve them, and that they do not doubt
that compliance with the terms on our
part will so far solten the feelings of
the people of the North, that our judges
and other officers will very soon be
relieved, except our political leaders,
who may be required to submit to ex
elusion for a longer period.
These are the views of the more
moderate wing of the party in power.
It is no longer a question whether the
freedmen shall ’ vote —that is already
decreed in his favor ; but the question
is whether the white men who aided
in the war against the United States
shall vote. 'Phis will not be permitted
if we continue to throw obstacles in
the way of reconstruction upon the
basis of the constitutional amendment
and universal suffrage.
As 1 have already stated, the bills
passed in the House embody the sub
stance of the more radical programme,
except upon the question of general
confiscation, for which the popular
sentiment is not yet prepared. The
Military bill was amended it? the Sen
ate, on the motion of Mr. Sherman, so
as to allow each State to be relieved
and re-admitted upon the adoption of
the constitutional amendment and uni
versal sulirage, the latter to be secured
by constitutional provision in each
State, and the Constitution to be ap
proved by Congress. The bill, as
amended, was sent back to the House,
where, if the telegrams are reliable,
the amendment was rejected, the ma
jority of the House being unwilling to
recognize the prtsent State govern
ments and re-admit us to Congress up
on our compliance with the terms
contained in the Sherman amendment.
It seems, however, from the dispatches
published, that this was afterwards re
considered, and what is known as the
Wilson amendment, which excludes
all persons included in the constitution
al amendment from voting as well as
from office, was adopted as an
ttonal provision. And also, an amend
ment that the present Stale govern
ments are to be regarded as only
provisional, to he displaced at the will
of Congress. As thus amended, we
are informed, the bill has passed both j
Houses, and will no doubt become a i
law, without the President’s sanction. [
This simply gives us a few more days i
ol grace, which is the best that even
moderate Republicans wtil sanction.—
If our people improve the time, and
act promptly, we may save something;
if we do not, all is lost. Our prompt!
adoption of the constitutional amend" j
nieut and universal sulirage would, in :
my opinion, settle tire question.— j
Nothing less ever will. It might have j
the further effect ol adjusting the tin - j
happy differences which exist between j
the President and Congress. He has
contended all tne while that the ques
tion ot suffrage belongs to the States,
it thev move and extend it. he has no j
reason to be displeased. On the other j
hand, Congress refuses to recognize
the State governments established un
der his direction, without their adop
tion of the constitutional amendment
and universal suffrage. By a compli- 1
ance on the part of the States, Con
gress nuintains its point of honor. —
The Democratic members of Congress
have agreed with the President that
the suffrage question is one for the
States to decide. The pride of each
party has been staked upon the main"
tenance of its position Unfortunately
for us, while this fight is progressing
we are between the upper and the
nether millstone, being ground to
atoms. The longer it lasts, the worse
we are ruined.
Here, then, the inquiry naturally
presents itself, what is best for us to
do? I answer, “Agree with thine ad
versary quickly.” We are prostrate
and powerless. We can offer no fur
ther resistance. The conquerors dic
tate their own terms, which are height
ened in severity by the delay of the
conquered to accept them. Because
we have lost immensely, is it wise
stubbornly to sacrifice the little that is
left to us ? The decree has gone forth
that some of us, myself among others,
who were called to lead our people
and direct public affairs during the
late unhappy struggle, shall be disfran
chised, and at least politically sacrific
ed. If the sympathies of those whom
we represented were not with us, they
would be less than human. But is it
best that they cling to us till they have
made beggars of their wives and child
ren, and plunged themselves into ir*
retrivable ruin, when their fidelity can
do us no good? I think not. Justice
to their wives and children require, that
we do not encourage them in this
course. And above all, if peace, quiet,
and returning prosperity can be restor
ed to our unhappy country by the
sacrifice, we should make it without
further hesitation or delay.
Let us accept the position, as we
have already professed to do, in good
faith. Let us s&e to it that the laws
are faithfully and impartially executed
—'that the most proscriptive loyalist,
and the most degraded fieedman, have
the same measure of right and justice,
which is meted out to our own people.
As all are obliged to admit that there
can be no future separation, and as we
have chosen to remain under the
Government ot the United States rather
than seek homes elsewhere, we should
now do all in our power, while we
claim its protection, to discharge faith
fully all our duties as citizens. As we
live under it we should look to it as the
Government of our own choice. Its
liag is now our flag, its credit our credit,
and we should determine, come what
may, to forget the past, and defend and
sustain both with all our ability in
future. We have in the South a
country of vast fertility and great nat
ural resources. They need develon
j ment. We have entered upon anew
I era. We need capital and labor.—
! Neither will come till our difficulties
| are settled, and our political status
I defined. Every Northern;man or for
eigner who brings physical strength or
capital into Georgia, adds to her wealth,
and should be' regarded as a friend,
and treated as such. In our depressed
condition, i( men who are void of the
better feedings of our natuie come
among us to insult us by insolence, let
us refuse to bandy words with them.—
Compared with the great mass of the
Northern people, these characters are
lew, and must soon give plaee to better
men, A magnauimous man never re
joices over the sufferings of a fallen
adversary. Time will heal most of
our wounds, and we who in the war
were enemies, will soon be in peace
friends. The sooner this is the case,
the better for the whole country. In
I view of these considerations, I ihink it
best that we, as the conquered, yield
the points in controversy at once.
It only remains for me to add, that I
consider it the duty of the Governor ol
Georgia to call the Legislature together
without delay,, and to recommend the
passage of attract calling a conven
tion of the people of this State, to so
change our State Constitution as to
provide for universal suffrage in con
formity to the measure which has pass"
ed Congress, known as the Sherman
amendment; and to provide for the
early election of a Legislature which
will adopt the constitutional amendment
in accordance with said requirement.
We now have the assurance of Con
gress in the passage of this bill, that
this shall settle the question of our
admission. We shall never get better
terms. Let us comply with them, and
be ready to be represented in the next
Congress as soon as possible.
- I respectfully suggest that the people
of the several counties of this State,
who favor the proposed action, hold
public meetings, with as little delay as
possible, and urge upon the Governor
to convene the Legislature and recom
mend them to take prompt action.—
The Governor and Legislature were
elected before Unconstitutional amend
ment was proposed, and I respectfully
submit thajjdds their imperative du
ty r , in the present condition of the
country, to take the necessary steps to
refer this question to the people at the
ballot box. The most appropriate
mode of doing th is, is to order an elec
tion for delegates to a convention, to
act upon the proposition now submitted
by Congress. This they cannot with
propriety refuse, if the people demand
it. Let the people speak.
If the State will adopt this line of
policy, and the Convention will me
morialize Congress asking that the
judges, county officers, and others
necessary to the efficient working of
the State Gevernraent, be relieved from
the provisions of the constitutional
amendment, I believe the petition, il
presented in a proper spirit, will be
granted, and we shall soon be relieved
of much of the gloom which is now
wide spread over the whole South. If
we reject the terms proposed in the
’ -sw?(pk.
Sherman bill, I confess I see no hope
lor the future. Should we accept them,
I trust the example of Georgia may be
followed by other States, and that this i
vexed question may soon be perman' j
ently settled upon the best terms which j
we will ever be able to get.
I am aware of the rapidity of the
changes which we are required to make,
and of the natural prejudices which
our people entertain against negro
suffrage. But we should not forget,
in yielding to an inevitable necessity,
that these people were raised among i
us, and naturally sympathise with us.
Their conduct during the war proved
this. If, then, we treat them kindly,
pay them their wages promptly, and in
all respects deal justly by them, we
shall seldom have cause to complain of
their refusal to respect our wishes, or
consult our interest at the ballot box.
As the questions which I have dis
cussed are of vital importance to the
whole country ; and as 1 do not wish
to be misunderstood or misrepresented.
I respectfully request the editor of each
newspaper who comments upon my
letter, to give it entire to his readers.
This is due alike to me and to the
public.
Praying that the God who rules the
universe may speedily bring order out
of contusion, and send his richest
blessings upon our whole country, I
am, most respectfully, your obedient
servant, Joseph E. Brown.

and others.

Reparator Capilli,
Throw away your false frizzles, your switches,
your wig
Destructive of comfort, and not worth a fig :
Come aged, come youthful, come ugly and lair,
And rejoice in your own luxuriant hair.
REPARATOR CAI*IJLI,I.
For restoring hair upon bald heads (from
whatever cause it xnay have fal en out) and
forcing a growth of hair upon the face, it has
no equal. It will force the beard to grow up
on the smoothest in from five to eight weeks,
or hair upon bald heads in from two to three
months. A lew ignorant practitioners have
asserted that there is nothing that will force or
hasten tne growth of hair or beard. Their as
sertions are false,as thousands of living wit
nesses [from Xheir own experience] can bear
witness. But many will say how are we to
distinguish the genuine from the spurious ?
It certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the
Prep,rations advertised fir the hair and beard
are entirely worthless, and you may have al
ready thrown away large amounts in theii
purchase. To such we would say, try the
Reparator Capilli; it will cost you nothirg
unless it fully comes np to our representations-
If your Druggist does not keep it, send us one
dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, togeth
er with a receipt for the money, which wifi be
returntd you on application, provided entire
satisfaction is not given. Address
