The Elbeuton Gazette.—Wc are pleased
Vo see that (here has been a change in the pro
prietorship and politics of this journal. Ihc
incoming editor and proprietor, Mr. 8. N. Car
penter, in his salutatory, says:
“ We do not favor the Congressional recon
struction policy, believing it to be prompted
by a spirit of hatred, without regard to right
or justice, and a desire to oppress and degrade
the while people of the South by raising from
ignorance, to all the rights and highest func
tions of citizenship, the dusky and stupid Afri
can. We believe this is, and ever should be, a
white man’s Government, and tint lie should
ever remain the acknowledged superior ot the
negro, both socially and politically.”
This is a decided improvement upou the get
back-any-how policy of flic late management,
and we take pleasure in commending the Ga
zette to the hearty support of the true friends
•of the South and the whole country.
The Perjury Case —Second True Bii/l. —
la the United States District Court, in Savan
nah, on Friday, lion. Joint Erskine, Judge,
presiding, the grand jury returned true bills in
the following eases, as we learn front the Re
publican :
United States rs. Foster Blodgett; United
States vs. William Moore ; United States vs.
John Moore ; United States rs. Andrew Moore.
The Court then adjourned until 10 o’clock on
Monday morning next.
A Queer Press Agent.—The Agent of the
Press Association at Savannah is a queer man,
if nothing else. He made great haste to tele
graph incorrectly with reference to the Blod
gett ease in the United States Court at Savan
stnd yet, when a second true bill is found, and
returned, we don’t hear a word from him.
Wonder if he has joined the l’yal league.
Extra. Class D. —We have been requested
to state that this great lottery, for the benefit
of the Masonic Orphans’Home, will be drawn
in public at Atlanta on Wednesday next, and
that the sale of tickets will close at 6ix o’clock,
p. m., in this city, at the office, comer of Ellis
and Jackson streets.
Elegant.—The articles advertised by Dr.
Tult, in this morning’s issue, are of the most
elegant description. “ Email de Paris ”is
something new. Pastels the artists know
about, and Maillards Confections are for the
ladies. “ Sweets to the sweet.” The Doeter is
a man of taste.
Cool.—On Friday night the weather “ cleared
oflf” cold and windy, while yesterday the sunny
eide of the streets were much patronized by
pedestrians. Ice formed in several localities,
causing house-keepers to look anxiously toward
the wood-pile.
Eminent Printer Gone —Conger Sherman,
one of the oldest and wealthiest printers in the
United States, died at his residence in Philadel
phia, on Monday last, at the advanced age of
.seventy-four years.
CiTT C OUKT -—This court is still in session.
Several cases of jo puplic interest were in liti
gation yesterday. The court will convene
again to-morrow.
Merchants’ Sale.—The attention of deal
ers is called to the advertisement of the auction
Bale which conics off to-morrow, at the store
of Messrs. C. B. Day Charlie will get off
many a sell if the proper persons go b(u)y.
[From the New Orieans Price Current.
The Southern Market.
The present indications are that the contrac
tile policy of the Secretary of the Treasury will
be sustained by Congress; or, at least, if it be
pretermitted lor a certain period, that it will
not be for the opposite extreme of currency
expansion. Regarding this matter then as a
question of the influence of the circulating
medium, or the measure of values, on prices
generally, subject ot course to the general law
of supply and demand, wc may look fora fur
ther decline, in the ease of contraction being
persevered in, or of a continuance of present
rates, should things be allowed to remain in
statu quo. Prudent men will arrange tlieir af
fairs accordingly, buying only enough for their
Immediate wants, and avoiding new obligations
as 6trictly as possible.
These remarks are applicable to the general
trade of the country, in which wc may reasona
bly look for a material curtailment. But there
are other causes which will restrict the com
mercial movement, besides the paralyzing in
fluence ot falling markets. The pressure of
taxation on the consuming classes everywhere
throughout the country compels them to refrain
from many of the comforts and luxuries in
which they formerly indulged. To avoid being
inextricably involved in debt, the farmer must
practice the most rigid economy. The 6alcs of
the country merchants will be restricted accord
ingly, and the wholesale dealers in the large
cities will find their trade diminish in a corres;
ponding degree. General retrenchment is, in
fact, the only safe preparation for a resump
tion of specie payments. Such is specially the
case in the Southern States. In the South, in
deed, the retrenchment and economy we recom
mend are hardly left to the choice of the people,
'l’hey are matters of absolute necessity. The
experiment of free negro labor becomes every
day less doubtful. Its failure appears to be
inevitable. Sanguine nteujvho last year were
confident that they could so adapt the manage
ment of their plantations to circumstances, that
they could make free labor productive and re
munerative, if not as profitable as slave labor,
now confess their error, and shrink from the
future, almost in despair. They may still cling
to their agricultural pursuits, for they are fitted
neither by tlieir education, nor by their habits,
for any other. But it will be with the prospect
of making their bare subsistence at present,
and the faint hope of some improvement in
the future—that “something will turn up”
which will make their lauded possessions once
more productive and profitable. In most
instances the situation of the Southern planter
is truly deplorable, and would be still more so
had he not wisely turned his attention less to
cotton and more to raising corn and stock than
formerly, which will provide him, at least, with
a sufficiency of food. Ilis cotton crop could
not have been made without advances from his
factor to furnish provisions, clothing and pay
to his hired laborers ; and now that the crop is
sent to market, its proceeds will not cover those
advances.
It is manifest that in a community thus con
stituted, there must be a great falling off in the
demand for manufactured goods. Economy
being a necessity, will soon become customary,
or, we might say, fashionable. It will be a mat
ter of pride to the planter’s wife that she has
by good Management—by tact and skill—made
old things serve the purposes of new, and thus
avoided running in debt at the neighboring
btore. Not only superfluities, but even neces
saries will be dispensed with. A profuse hos
pitality will be among the memories of times
past. Thrift and frugality will become the car
dinal virtues in every household. Now all this
may make the planter indepeu lent, however
poor, and lie may feel as proud in his
home made hog and hominy, as lie ever was in
(lie palmy days of his former prosperity. But
it is fatal to the demand for manufactured goods
—nay, not only for manufactured goods, but
for Western provisions. Thd Southern market
cannot lie relied on, as formerly, I y Eastern
inauulacturers ai?d Western Juniors. The cot
ton tax may lie repealed. Nq doubt it will be.
The North and the West are pressing Congress
for its repeal. Their own interests require it,
and Congress will comply with the requisition.
But the cotton excise is not the only tax on
Southern industry. The freed man cannot buy
a Guernsey shirt, without contributing, in the
price he. pays for it, an exorbitant tax to the
Government. And so witli regard to every
article of his clothing and food, indirect taxa
tion presses upon him with intolerable severity,
lie is consequently under the necessity of de
manding wages for his labor, which the price of
cotton will not justify. Hence the planter is
compelled to dispense with his services, and
raise so much less of the staple.
Until there be a material advance in prices,
or a bold reduction iu taxation, wo cannot rea
sonably expect any improvement in the South
ern market for the. manufactures of the East or
the corn and provisions of the West. Free
labor has prevented both planters and laborers
from their usual purchases. The welfare of
both is as essentially dependent upon the per
severing services of the laborer as upon the
capital furnished by the planter and his factor.
Without the former the crop will never repay
the advances of the latter. Without the latter,
the former would be unable to continue his
work. They are so intimately connected in
interest, that even when the laborer w orks for
stipulated wages, they may be regarded as quasi
copartners. But with few exceptions {lie la
borers have neglected their duty. Political ex
citements and their natural love of indolence
have combined to interrupt their work, and as
a general rule the proceeds of the crop will
hardly suffice to repay the cash advanced on it.
In many cases it will be entirely insufficient,
and tiie factor will be a heavy loser. All this
tends to restrict the Southern demand ior goods,
and destroy the Southern market for Northern
and Western products.
I From the Memphis Avalanche.
A Startling Event-
AUMEI) NEGROES MARCH INTO COLUMBUS and
DEMAND BREAD.
For some time a great deal of dissatisfaction
has existed among the freedmen in the neigh
borhood of Columbus, Mississippi. They had
quit work and left the fields white with cotton,
and would not pluck a boll, the reason given
for such action being that their share of the
crop would not pay their expenses for the year,
owing to the tax on the staple, and the low
price to which it had fallen. As soon as they
refused to work, as a matter of course, they
had to leave the plantations, and give up their
houses to other laborers who would work.
They then took to the woods and commenced a
system of indiscriminate pilfering and slock
killing.
About two hundred of them have been as
sembled in the neighborhood of Columbus,
Mississippi, since the beginniug of the election,
and had become a perfect nuisance and terror
to the neighborhood. At the request of the
citizens a coinpauy of United Staies troops had
been stationed at Columbus for the protection
of the lives and property of the people. Wheu
this band of vagabondized negroes bad exhaust
ed the country of everything that was stealable,
they determined to make a raid upon the town
of Columbus in full force. They were ajl armed,
and procuring fife and drum, they marched into
towu, demanding bread. Not oue of them
asked for work; they did not want that.—
Bread was all their cry, and they were about
commencing an indiscriminate robbery, when
the Uuited States troops appeared on the ground
and disarmed then! first and then dispersed
them. The ringleaders were taken into custody.
What a scene of bloodshed and robbery we
would have had to relate had it not been for
the fortunate presence Os the troops, we shud
der to think of. This is the first attempt at a
bread riot which has ever occurred in the South,
but how long it will be until they become com
mon, it takes no far-seeing prophet to tell.
The negroes all through the country are be
coming most thoroughly demoralized under
the teachings of the Radical hyenas, who
counsel and incite them at every fence corner,
to their own destruction. They now positively,
in many localities, refuse to work, will make
no contracts with the planters, lully expecting
a division of the lands so long promised them
by their Radical leaders.
Bands pf from three to fifty are roaming
through Mississippi iu every direction, a terror
and a nuisance, not only to the but
the industrial!* of their Own color. How
this state of affairs continue without
scenes of riot and bloodshed depends entirely
upon the forbearance of the white man. A
spark may Ignite the train which will redden
the horizon with the blaze'of burniug bouses,
and initiate a conflict between the races bloody
and remorseless,
Another Bemarkable French Pamphlet.
THE EMPEROR SUPPOSED TO BE ITS AUTHOR.
The Loudon Times of the 10th publishes in
its Paris correspondence the translation of a
remarkable document, entitled “ Napoleon 111.
and Europe in 1867,” the author of which is
believed to be no other than the Emperor him
self:
[EXTRACT.]
“ It would be useless and even dangerous to
desire to disguise from ourselves that Europe
is at present passing through one of the most
serious crises that have occurred since the com
meuccment of this century.
“ There is hardly no country in Europe that
ha3 not its ‘question.’ There are the Polish
question, the Eastern question in Turkey, the
question of dualism and Federalism in Austria,
the North Schleswig question in Denmark, the
question of Germany on this and the other side
of the Main, the question of Fenianism in Eng
land, and the question Rome, planted upon the
banks if the Tiber, but filling with its ex
pectation and the eventualities that may issue
from Us solution all the Catholic peoples, and
even, in our sense, all the civilized countries in
both hemispheres.
“All these ‘questions,’ brought forward
more or less imperiously by events, demand
solutions, some of which cannot be allowed to
wait long without increasing the uneasiness
which keeps Europe breathless, and even with
out causing it to pass, at more than one point,
from the abstract order of ideas to the positive
order of facts. Thus the majority of these
questions, the solution of which Europe de
mands, can only—within possible limits—be
settled by France, or at least with her large and
efficacious co-operation.
“ We believe, then, that France is destined by
Providence to pronounce at this moment one of
those solemn words which put an end to uncer
tainty, fix the definitive value of tiie past,-gives
its proper form to the present, and clear up the
paths of the luture.
“This word, which the whole world expects
of us—this word, which we alone are in a posi
tion to pronounce with complete efficacy—this
word is ‘ Peace.’
“ But what peace, and upon what conditions?
“ The oniy peace France can desire for her
self and the world is a glorious peace, born of'
the legitimate aspirations of satisfied nations,
as well as of the complete security of reassured
Governments. This peace rests upon a com
plete national and international political pro
gramme, and is supported by the following
principles :
“ 1. Frank, complete, and sympathetic accept
ance of the facts accomplished, or in the course
of being accomplished, in Germany in all that
relates to its internal organization.
“ 3. Conscientious execution of the Conven
tion of September 15, or the formation of an
equivalent guarantee.
“3. Progressive development of the liberal
ideas contained iu the letter of the 19th of Janu
ary, 1807.
“ Well shall noav show in detail, though very
succinctly, the immense extent ot this political
programme, which reconciles the democratic
aspirations of our age with the wisely conser
vative ideas of nearly the whole of our nation,
and we might add, of Europe. * * *
“ Germany is made. The Northern Confed
eration, tiie Customs’ treaties and military con
ventions between Prussia and the South Ger
man States, tiie tendencies of 'the deliberative
assemblies, the intentions of the Cabinet of
Berlin, ami the manifest aspirations of ihe im
mense mnjoritv of the German people—all
these symptoms and facts compel every impar
tial mind to agree to the exactitude of this
affirmation—Germany is made.
“ France ought not to interfere in the internal
agairs of Germany.
“ France —it is permitted to our patriotism to
render Her this testimony—France, and more
especially the France of the last 80 years, is in
Europe the highest expression of those two
magical words to which belong in the future,
nnif even already at present, the empire of the
world —Democracy and Liberalism.
«Democracy— i. the incessant effort to
associate the greatest possible number of men
in intellectual and moral life, and, through it,
in a wise participation In tiie management oi
public affairs.
“Liberalism (liberty put in practice) —/, e.,
harmonious agreement between institutions
and morals, an habitnal tendency among all the
depositories of power to substitute persuasion
for force, tolerance lor coercion, good will for
menacing proceedings—in short, a system that
loudly proclaims in laws and acts the sover
eignty of public opinion, and thereby renders
constant and solemn homage to this truth,
which is the basis of every democratic Stale
and every lice soeiety, viz., that Governments
are croatc.fi lor and by Hie people, and not the
people that are made for the government.
These two political dogmas of lnbdcrn society
—democracy and liberty —have been proclaim
ed, WlOpilgßted, protected and fievelojkcd by
Fra pee. She has lastly given them a supreme
and irrevocable consecration iu one of the most
prodigious of political facts—in that of a mon
archy" issuing from universal suffrage, and
marching with it for fifteen years, iu daily
more intimate accord. But such a post im
poses duties as great as itself. Under penalty
of proving untrue to what constitutes our
power and our greatness, wc can in no way re
pulse democracy by force and annihilate liber
ty by violence. Nothing certainly compels us
to make ourselves their armed champions
whenever they may be threatened. But every
thing forbids our combatting them when they
tend to raise brows crowned with youth and a
future upon the ruins of a condemned past. —
it suited us to lend the aid of our arms to
tlieir resurrection beyond the Alps, but it
would not be filling for us to turn our efforts
beyond the Rhine against the ideas we have
caused to triumph on the other side of the
mountains. France, which, without directly
desiring to do so, has so powerfully contribu
ted to ihe unification of Germany far heyoml
the Alps as beyond Ihe Rhine, she recognizes,
respects and salutes with her most ardent sym
pathies, the word Nationality.
“ Ardent spirits, more impatient than reflect
ing, might object to us that France has already
more than ouce never stopped to. count her
enemies—a fact, which lias not prevented her
having some time afterwards several more vie-
torics in her military annals, rich enough, ne
vertheless, not tu stand iu need of further great
anniversaries.
“This is our reply to the impatient; Like
you we believe that even in the minds of the
greatest dangers France would astonish the
World, and succeed in conquering and triumuh
ing, where, perhaps, every other nation of Eu
rope would succumb. But, to say truth, we
apprehend for our country in such a contingen
cy a victory quite as much as a defeat, it is
essential th:t Franco and the world should
know tlmt in a war between France and Ger
many—a war undertaken to defeat or prevent
the unification of the German nation, a war
with the cause of the struggle would be as
deeply rooted in the minds of a tenacious and
patient people as 13 the idea of unity at this
moment in the heart of the German nation —in
such a war oue battle and ten battles gained or
lost would never bring about anything but
ruses, falsely called treaties of peaee. The im
prudent hand that should desire to prevent
Germany from remaining or becoming a nation
would kindle a war totally destined to ravage
Europe for an incalculable period by, so to
speak, periodical hectaeombs. Let tire'arbiters
of tire destinies ot Germany also reflect upon
this. Many generations yet unborn would only
appear upon this earth to he, when arrived at
adolescence, mown down upon the plains of
Belgium, the Palatinate, or Westphalia. What
a harvest of death would there be in these in
numerable battalions, representing the gigantic
shock of two great nations in arms, making
generous victims pay lor the fatal error of a
few !*****
“ But may there not exist iu France a power
ful and warlike public opinion, which, consid
ering itself hurt, bruised in its patriotism,
would implore upon the imperial Government
a kind of moral obligation to satisfy it, even at
the price of a political fault ?
“ We will answer, peremptorily, ‘No.’
“The immense majority of the natio 1 will
bless the Chief of France for giving to the
country not only a peace which in no way of
fends our honor, but further and above all the
certainty of that peace.
“ France, though, as ever, ready for war, has
at this moment a sincere desire to preserve
peace.
“ Four years ago the chief of the French na
tion made an appeal to the world to remove by
a loyal discussion those causes of dissension
which have since caused the flow of torrents of
blood.
“ What sensible mind does not now admit
that it would have been better for Europe if
that appeal had been heard ?
“ It is the property of a patient mind not to
abandon a great design because circumstances
were not favorable to its execution at first.
“ Perhaps in 1867 Europe, taught in the
school ©f misfortune and wearied by 60 much
fruitful agitation, eager for peace, may be happy
to hear the same voice again say to her now—
‘lt is necessary that I should be listened to, for
I speak in the name of France.’ ”
