Keioiltlt! Talk.
Thoro is ono idea which seems to
have taken possession of tho Southern
people, and until th.it is eradicated,
then is hut little prospect of real pros
perity. We mean tho devotion of all
our energies to the production of cot
ton. It will not do to bo depend
ent upon tho West for our corn, flour
and bacon, and upon the North and
East for everything we wear, from a
hat to a pair of shoes, or use, from a
piano to an axe-handle.
All this talk about tho value of the
cotton crop, the restoration of tho South,
glorious prosperity, and tho like, is
mere trattln. The rich aro growing
richer and tho poor poorer, every day.
'The money does not stay at home t<>
.build up railroads, factories and inter
nal improvements, but it goes North
and West for subsistence, gow-gaws
and gim-crackjt. Nor is it used to
jpay oil' old debts, and thus strengthen
dike honesty and independence of th(i
citizen. It is spent recklessly, because
a great deal of it is in tho hands of a
class which never had money to spend
before. It is spent freely by others
because it is greenbacks, and they feel
that there is no security in any invest
ments they can make. Does mot any
man of common sagacity seo what
must bo the eud of borrowing money
at from twelve to twenty-five per cent,
to grow cotton with unreliable labor,
and be dependent upon our oppressors
for nearly everything wo eat, wear or
uso ?
We do not object to tho planting of
cotton as the money crop. That is all
right—plant but little, cultivate it well,
and make it pay. We believe the true
policy is to contract the area in culti
vation, cultivate more carefully, im
prove the staple and compete with the
world for the finest quality rather than
tho greatest quantity. Grow all the
corn, wheat, oats and potatoes required
for your own consumption, convert all
swampy places into meadow s, provide
yourself’ with clover lots, barley lots,
rye lots, and all means of aiding the
corn crib. Try to raise a few more
hogs, cattlo, sheep, and drop in now
and then a horse or mule colt. En
courage your neighbor, who has a
knack of coopering, and have your
tubs and buckets made at homo. J’at
ronizo your own tanneries and shoe
makers Make your own axe-helves
and clothes-pin. Encourage your
homo-wagon and carriage-makers,
plough manufacturers and blacksmiths
—don’t run to the store for everything.
Pat.ouize your own magazines and
newspapers; pay for them and read
them. Take the Rural, read it, give
it the benefit of your experieueo, ex
pose humbugs, advocate truth and
honesty, and labor, capital, independ
ence, and prosperity will soon follow.
The ahovo is from a correspondent
of tho Rural Carolinian and treats on
the subject that most interests tho peo
plo of tho South.
In South-west Georgia, the cotton
crop of 1809 was a medium one, per
haps a little over ; the pri o on an aver
age was over 20c, and we ask where is
tho proceeds ? What has our planters
ia hand or pocket to show for their
last years crop ? in most instances it
is Bacon and Corn from the West;
and in some instances, these staple
articles are being bought on time, pro
ceeds of the crop having boon exhaus
ted in pacing for what was used tho
first yoar. Unless there be a change
wo will make cotton tho balance ol
time, and liave nothing to show for it.
But there is oue good it will do, that
is build up the people of tho West
who in days agon', sold corn at 12i to
15 cents per bushel, or burned it for
fuel. Wo will furnish tho exchange
between tho United States and foreign
nations, and make rich tho people
who blit a*short while ago tried to
kill us w ith buck and ball, canister and
grape shot, and not succeeding in mak
ing n complete job, are now working to
perish us out, by sending circulars
through tho country trying to show it
to boa money making business to
raise cotton to buy other necessary ar
ticles to cat or wear.
Beware friends, take warning hi
time and get your liouso in readiness,
or the future is not so bright as we
would have it be.
Public Schools.
We have been favored by Col. D.
W. Lewis, one of the committee on
Education, appointed by the State
Teachers’ Association, to Report on a
System of Public Schools for tho
State of Georgia, a copy of that Re
port- The plan sot forth for the gen
eral education of the masses, wo think
an admirable one, and one that should
r<vmr& the attention of every one,—
W« ipioto from the Report, under the
he*d—“Public Education—its Impor
tance to the State
The universal education of 'ho poo
-I>L> is an end greatly to be desired.—
dost tliinkiog men will admit the
truth of the following propositions,
viz : That the general education of
{lit people, furnishing, as it necessari
ly does, a much larger number of
skilled, intelligent laborers in all the
various fields of human effort, vastlv
increase# the productive capacity anil
:ho consequent wealth of a people ;
that it adds almost indefinitely to the
sources of happiness of the entire c >m-
wunity; that, when properly conduct
ed, looking to the moral as well as to
tho intellectual development of tho
man, it gieatly diminishes crime, and
the heavy gxjhhiho and demoralization
incident thereto ; and that, w hen so
~ idnei- and, it is the best guarantee for
tie onservation and perpetuation of
If*-.! institutions, in a country where
supreme power is lodged in the hands
of the pooplo.
We would bo glad if we had space
for all the arguments contained there
in, in favor of the system proposed,
also, the facts and figures, which show
Conclusively that with proper distribu
tion of funds set apart already by
Legislation, a great deal more would
not bo required to put the hall in mo
tion. Friends of a common cause, be
stir yourselves in tliis diioction, —let
some organized system of general ed
ucation bo instituted at once, in our
State, and ere long, instead of witness
ing and seeing chronicled every spe
cies of crime—’the fruit of ignorance,
in ninny instances, we firmly believo
that every earthly interest would be
ad van cod—the laborer more compe
tent to labor —the employer more wil
ling to pay for that labor.

Savannah, Ga.
Tlie labor Qiunlioa Again.
There are some things which, be
ing too often discussed, makes tlio
speaker a drone to society, or, il they
appear in a public journal, become an
evo-soro to the reader. Not so with
the above named subject; for it is ono
in which we are all interested —one
on which the vitality of the nation de
pends. And although the employer
may argue that the year is already
far advanced— too late to add to existing
plans, and make arrangements for
more laborers now, and it is probable
that these plans will bo perfected
without molestation, still, we should
remember that “a stitch in time saves
nine,” and more reasons than ono why
wo should not live for to-day alone;
and we urge that some plan should be
i lauguratod whereby ernig ants wou and
be induced to cast their lots with us to
fill the places being left vacant every
year by tlie negro.
The system inaugurated by our
State Legislature last year has, in a
great measure failed, if we aro to be
lievo tho accounts of tho Foreign
Commissioner himself, audit behooves
us individually and collectively, to offer
other inducements. Not that we ob
ject to the negro as a laborer, or wish
to drive him from our midst, for we
belie ve that class has been and could
bo made more profitable, espei ially in
the cotton States, than any people on
earth ; but facts stare us in the face,
which makes us fear for the future of
our country, unless some step bo taken
in the right direction to secure labo
rers to “speed the plow.”
As an evidence of the exodus of the
negro from tho seaboard states, offi
cial accounts show that 31,000 have
passed ono point —Chattanooga—the
past winter, going West. The influx
steadily increases each year, reports
come to us that they are satisfied with
the wages paid them, and tho coun
try, and tho glowing accounts written
back by them to their relatives and
friends, will induce tho mass of them,
soonei or later, to seek homes W est of
the Mississippi.
Yirginia, the Carolines, Middle and
Southern Georgia, have already felt
thr pleasure of this exodus, and from
the lights before us, have reason to be
lieve that next year the state of af
fairs will be worse—lienee theso sug
gestions.
We have no special plan to recom
mend—think that should be the work
of a great many instead of one, and
hope to see a general movo in the di
rection spoken of, while yet wo have
air pie time for negotiations.
There is a section of country, says
a correspondent of tho Augusta Con
stitutionalist, extending fn m the ISa
vannali river in tho vicinity of Hub
erts villo to the Coosawatchie, to Sa
vannah and Blufton, in which a ser
mon, (unless preached by colored min
isters) is not pieached once a month.
The correspondent asks that a mis
sionary be sent out there. He states
that tho people are able and willing to
support oue. Talk of heathen in for
eign lands, have we no missionaries
for home service.

MESSAGE OFI’UKMDE.VrOBAXTTO CONGRESS.
K\i:< ttive Mansion, March SO, 1870.
lo the Senate and Haunt of fiepi e entatires:
It is ujjusual to notify the two
Houses of Congress by message of tho
promulgation, by proclamation of the
Secretary of State, of tho ratification
of a constitutional amendment In
view, however, of tho vast importance
of the Fftoenth Amendment of tho
Constitution, this day declared a part
of that revered instrument, I deem a
departure from the usual custom justi
fiable. A pleasure which makes at
once four million of pooplo voters who
were heretofore declared by the high
est tribunal in the land not citizens of
tlie United States, nor eligible to be
come so (with tho assertion that “at
tho time of tho Declaration of Inde
pendence tho opinion was fixed uni
versal in tho civilized portion of the
white race, regarded as an axiom in
morals as well as in politics, that black
men had no rights which white men
were bound to respect”), is indeed a
measure of grander importance than
any other one act of tho kind from the
foundation of our free government to
the present time
Institutions like ours, in which all
power is derived directly from the peo
ple, must depend mainly upon their
intelligence, patriotism and industry.
I call tho altontion, therefore, of the
newly enfranchised race to tho impor
tance of their striving in every honor
able manner to make themselves wor
thy of their neAv privilege. To the
race more favored heretofore by our
laws l would say, withhold no legal
privilege of advancement to tho now
citizen The framers of our constitu
tion firmly believed that a republican
form of government could not endure
without intelligence and education
generally diffused among tho people.
The “Father of his Country,” in his
Farewell Address, uses this language:
“Promote, then, as a matter of pri
mary importance, institutions for tho
general diffusion of knowledge. In
proportion as tlie structure of govern
ment gives force to public opinion, it
is ossontial that public opinion should
bo enlightened.”
In tho first annual message to Con
gress the same viovs Avere forcibly
presented, and are again urged in his
eighth message.
I repeat that the adoption of the
Fifteenth Amendment to the constitu
tion completes the greatest civil change
and constitutes the most important
event that has occurred since the na
tion came iuto life The change will
be beneficial in proportion to the heed
that is given to the urgent recommen
dations of Washington. If these rec
ommendations were important then,
with a population of but a few mill
ions, how much more important now,
with a population of forty millions,
and increasing in a vapid ratio !
I would, therefore, call upon Con
gress to take all the means within
their constitutional powers to promote
and encourage popular education
throughout the country, and upon tlie
people everywhere to seo to it that all
who posses and exercise political rights
shall have tho opportunity to acquire
the knowledge which will make their
share in the government a blessing
aud not a danger. By such means
only can the benefits contemplated by
this Amendment to the constitution be
secured.

OF THE MESSAGE IN Till: HOUSE
OF RE I'RE KENT ATI V ES.
After tho message of the President
and the Proclamation had been read
in the House of Representatives, Mr. ;
Peters, of Maine, moved to refer the
papers to the Committee on tho Judi
ciary.
Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, hoped
that that part relating to education
Avould bo referred to tho Committee on
Education and Labor.
Mr. Wood, of New York, opposed
any reference without debate. lie
said it was not true as stated in the
Proclamation that the State of New
York had ratified the Amendment, i
That State had not done so, nor would
it do so.
Mr. Peters—W ell, wo think it lias,
and that is sufficient.
Mr. Niblnck, of Indiana, said the
statement in the proclamation that In
diana had ratified the amendment was
simply untrue. It was notorious that
Indiana had not done so, and the Sec
retary of State had the certificate to
that effect in liis department.
Mr. Peters demanded tlie previous
question on his motion to refer, but as
much opposition was manifested, and
the House xvas in danger of being
without a quorum, it was agreed that
the matter should go over until to
. morrow.

we fail to accompany it with a small
bit of a supplement, which wo find in

SCENE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
There was quite a gathering in the
ante-room of tho White House when
tho message and proclamation were
signed, half the number, however, be
ing newspaper men. An attache of a
Washington newspaper begged the
President for the pen with which the
documents were signed, and it was
handed him A venerable old gentle
man who was in the crowd cried out,
Avhon tlie announcement was made
that tlie negroes could now vote every
where. “Well, gentlemen, you’ll all
bo d—n sorry for this !” The speak
er was Dent, tlie father-in-law of tho
President.
Slow Shall tlie Ouvci'Hincnt ho
Sa veil.
Tho crimes of the radical leaders
have no parallel in the history of the
world. T heir sole ambition is power ;
for, in the hands of lawless and un
scrupulous men, power is the key to
all that men can covet. They at
tained power by an accident, and all
the calamities that liave come upon us
since are duo to their efforts to keep it.
The war, the debt, the subversion of
tho Constitution, the moral, social and
political anarchy which pervades the
whole country, till belong to this one
cause.
During the four years of tho war
and tho live of “reconstruction,” a
great many honest men have regarded
tho audacious usurpations of Radical
ism with feelings ol' charity and tole
ration, hoping that the time was near
at hand when “a regenerated nation”
would move on to a nobler destiny,
strong in its unity, and happy in the
harmonious relations existing among
tho people and tho States. Recon
struction was at last completed, under
circumstances of lawlessness and
atrocity which ought to have been met
step by step with the sternest resist
auce. But, so far from the promised
peace, we have the beginning of a
new series of usurpations and outra
ges, which threaten to obliterate the
name as well as the fact of popular
government upon this continent.
The Georgia Dill is one of these
crimes. That State was reconstructed
long ago, was admitted to representa
tion in Congress, and participated in
tho Presidential election in 1808
Congress has no more to do with it
than with this State ; vet, because it
may possibly elect a Democratic gov
ernment, at the election Ihe ensuing
fall, provided by the Constitution,
Congress proposes to enact that the
present Radical government shall con
tinue in power two years after the le
gal expiration of its Dtrni of office,
hoping thereby to secure the vote of
that State in the next Presidential
eloction. Virginia, too, is conceded to
bo in the Union, and her representa
tives occupy tho seats in Congress;
yet, in Richmond, the staging of re
construction persisted in standing after
the work was completed, and when
the proper authorities undertook to
remove it, Canby stepped in with his
“regulars” and forbade the work to be j
done. Tennesse lias performed all the
functions of a State for six years, and
nobody thought of disputing her local
sovereignty until she elected a Dem
ocratic State government; but now we
are told the process of reconstruction
is to be done over again, and Ben
Butler has already prepared a bill for
that purpose.
These examples aro enough to show
that the present administration in
tends to do whatever may seem to be
necessary to perpetuate its power,
wholly regardless of the rights and
interests of the people and the States.
And this crime is aggravated by the
false prentences under which it is
committed. It is said that negroes
and Union men aro insecure in the
South. It is a lie. No peoplo on
earth wanted peace—needed peace—
so much as the Southern people. They
have submitted to indignities which
good men would not put upon a dog,
for the sake of peace. They are gov
erned mostly, in Gongress, in their
Stato councils, and their municipal
affairs, by tho scabbiest gang of scoun
drels which ever had their birth in a
civilized land. Besides, they are over
run Avith swarms of revenue officers,
bureau agents, Massachusetts school
ma’ams, and pimps and spies of an
infamous administration—all bent on
mischief and plunder Yet, there is
no more violence in these States than
in those, not half so much as there
ought to he, and not a tenth as much
as tliero would he if tho Southern
people were not imbued with Chris
tian graces unknown in higher lati
tudes.
They are better than we are. They
have done all that was possible to be
done to keep the peace and re-cstab- \
lisb friendly relations between the j
two sections. But they must now re
alize what wo have uniformly told
them, that tho more they labored for
peace tho less peace they would get;
and that if they secured anything,
they must resolutely insist upon all
that the Constitution allows. Tlie
popular reply to this has boon, pond
ing tlie tedious processes of reconstruc
tion, that the Constitution allows them
nothing. But the conditions aro
changed—tho “military districts” aro
States again, by the consent of Grant
and his Congress, and no one can
doubt that our form of government
can only be saved by requiring both
; the general and the local governments
to conform to the Constitution Tho
latter will do so wo have no doubt:
that the former does not intend to do
so is equally certain.
For tho first time in nearly ten years
tlie condition and interests of all tho
States aie identical; and it is equally
essential to them all the rights of each
shall be respected. Then, it is not
Avorth the while of tho Democratic
members of Congress, or of the Dem
| ocratic National Committee to enquire
whether there is any remedy for those
wanton usurpations'? and if so, what ?
If Congress may exercise limitless
power to promote tho interests of a
party, we Avill give up tho government
to thieves and robbers Avith the best
grace avo can but avo believe there is a
remedy in tho concentrated resistane ■
of the people, if any are yet Aviso and
bohl enough to direct its application.
