TER REGISTRATION OFFICE.
Tho Books of Registration from the sev
eral counties of the Stato have been re
turned to the Superintendent's office in
this city, and are now undergoing exam
ination. Every one flunlllar with the ge
ography of the State can readily Imagine
the labor and difficulty attending this
great work. In many of the romote coun
ties, where educated bullness men ore not
very numerous (and many of these dis
franchised), one would suppose the Books
would exhibit anything but good penman
ship, to ray nothing of neatness and ac
curacy. But to our astonishment there Is
me a slovenly or shabbily kept Book
among them. They are very models of
neatness and accuracy.
Col. Uvldert, tho Superintendent, has
In this, as In bis other business relations,
demonstrated his ability to judge of the
Uuslncia habits and qualifications of men.
His clorka have been selected from first-
class men, as these Books abundantly
show. Everything bean the mark of or
der, neatness and accuracy.
Soma of our Opposition brethren of tho
press who claim that, In most counties,
men could not be found qualified to do this
work, and who an constantly sneering at
the officers of the Government as “mean
whites," might do well to visit the Super-
lndent’s office and examine the Books from
the several counties. They will there
learn that the most Indifferently kept
Books amongst tho hundreds there on file,
would, for neatncsi and accuracy,do honor
to tho counting rooms of our most respect
able mercantile houses. Tho great busi

SOOTHERS KEN SUPPORTED BY NORTH
ERN CAPITA!,.
When ono man receives favor at the
handt of another, an obligation of some
kind is presumed to follow. It may bo In
law what is termed an Imperfect obliga
tion—that is, an obligation the fulfillment
of which cannot be enforced by law—but
which Is, for Hist very reason, doubly
binding, because It It an obligation of
honor. Nor is Ibis principle of exclusive
application In civilized communities. The
ravage,,who knows nothing of tho forms
and refinements of ctvlllztlon, fully un
derstands and acknowledges tho binding
force of such obligations. The Hindoo
and tho Hottentot who foils or refuses to
discharge such dobts of honor, Is thence
forth held to bo Infomotis In tho eyes of his
fellows.
A prominent Now York merchant was
once heard to remark tluit before tho war,
he had rather sell a Southern merchant
hill of goods at sixty days on his word of
honor, than to sell the same umouut upon
the same time on acecptablo bank paper,
Tho reason assigned for this was, that, as
general rule. Southern men were much
more scrupulous lu tho discharge of ob
ligations of honor than prompt In meeting
their legal paper.
In accordance with Ibis principle, seve
ral of tho most prudent and successful
A T ew York merchants, furnished goods on
reasonable time to Southern dealers, upon
their individual paper. In some Instances,
notes were not taken; bnt the amounts
were entered in tho form of running ac
counts, based upon tho promise of the
debtor.to make reraitUinres monthly, or
oftc-ncr. according to his ability. In this
way, hundreds of Southern merchants,
who bad been left prostrate by the war,
wore enabled to resume business.
Two' successive years of famine follow
ing close upon a devastating wsr, rendered
It Impossible, in many Instances, for these
obligations to be mot; while In somo cases,
mere adventurers—without any settled
habitation or practical knowledge of the
business—succeed In obtaining credit.—
These latter never Intended to discharge
their liabilities, If by any possibility, they
might avoid it. And It is this class of
men, by tho way, who have been so bitter
In thclrscctlonal feeling, and who, It would
scorn, thought It excusable to swindle
Yankee" out of a few thousand, because
that “Yankee” by contributing to the sup
port of the war for tho Union, had been
Instrumental In making him poor!
In this way tho credit of Southern mer
chants hoi been greatly impaired. There
Is no longor that willingness to extend
them favors which prevailed In 1803. This
is well known to most of oar merchants.—
Tiro reason la obvious.
There Is another thing ‘which Southern
morehants and business men, although or
dinarily shrewd and astute, do not seem to
understand, but which we happen to know
Is doing them groat Injury at tliu North.
Human nature is essentially tho same
everywhere. If you habitually denounce
man as unjust, cowardly and tyrannical
In his political relations. It Is hardly natu
ral that ho should regard you as a friend.
If you Impress libn with a belief that you
consider him your enemy, he Is very apt to
place the same estimate upon you that you
do upon him; and nothing is more unnat
ural than for a man to extend favors tn an
enemy.
We have observed—and it Is becoming a
theme of remark at tlio North—that many
of those men In this section who are under
the greatest obligations to Northern capi
talists, are among tho most bitter declaim-
en against tho Northern peoplo. Mon who
have profitable agencies for Northern
houses and corporations are not (infre
quently the most unrelenting In their seo-
tlonal animosities. They denounce, tn the
bitterest terms, those whose capital fur
nishes them with profitable employment f
They are uncompromising In their hatred
of tlio adherents of Congress, notwlth,
standing those very adherents may be their
greatest benefoctors.
Now, It does not follow that because one
man la thus laid under obligations to an
other ho must act the hypocrito and pro
fess what ho docs not believe; or that he
must abandon his manhood and hkve no
opinions of his own; bnt It la expected
that ho should tie tolerant, and not de
nounce as an enemy the bencfoctor who
cannot consistently adopt bia mode ef
thinking. Congreu, two-thirds of which

ference bctw&'u it and tlio Executive, la

people. Ametig those peoplo—and promi
nently among them, too—are men who
furnish cmpl^ment and the means of liv
ing to thousands of Soutborn men. And
yet, strange to ray, tlio very men who are
the recipient! of these fovors are tbo most
Intolerant and abuaive of Cbngraaa and the
Northern people. la this right? 1a it ex
actly honorable?
ALABAMA,
We an glad to find that the Bepubllctn*
of Alabama are appreciating tho Impor
tance of the election in that State, recently
ordered by Oeneral Pdrg, and have gone
towork lu earneit. Their organization la
for advanced, and the greatest seal to com,
plete the wdrk la manifested In all aeetlona
of the Stato.
The quiet, yet effective policy pursued
by General Pore and hts subordinates, will
aeon furnish the people of tlio Third
District an opportunity to accept the
Congressional plan of Reconstruction.
The foot that lie gave Alabama an
opportimlt)’, as soon na registration was
completed, gives assurance that no delay
will be permitted In Georgia. We urge
otir friends, therefore, to bo up and doing.
Hioy will be recreant to their principles If
they delay acting. Public Interests de
mand vigilance • and we will act as das
tards should we' foil to soeoud tho efforts
of the authorltes to return the State to the
Union.
ORB. FOFR IN WASHINGTON.
A gentleman of this city, who was tn
Washington a few days since, when clam,
era from certain parties In Georgia for
Geuerel Pope's removal were tn numerous,
states that all such suggestions were re
celved there with derision. The adminis

throughout the North. In foct he Is about

A Washington correspondent says:
It Is difficult to explain the action ..
Grant in taking Stanton's place. There
can he no military obligation on a Genera
to assume a civil office. Grant might have
refused, and thrilled the country, to the
confusion of the President and the rebels.
Snell a refusal would have been a notice
that a patriot Uko Stanton should not be
struck through lilm. It would have boon
a notice also to tlio rebels tliat they coult
have no hope through him. Now Is the
time to speak out for our country. Every
Presidential order signed by Grant Is an
enoouagement to tlio old rebel spirit. But
white at the War Department, Grant lx la
a certain sense, a “stop gag.” He keeps a
rebel ont of the office. But Grant Is habit
ually so taciturn and reserved tliat it Is
difficult to know bis real position. I do
