To the Voters of the tn Congressiona
Trg District

On the oath ultimo Hon. j. S. Ierges
addressed me letter, stating that he war
INSTRUCTED by the unanimous votes OF
the delegates from the several counties
in the 4th Congressional District to re-
quest me to become a candidate for me m
Der of Congress at the next election"
This honor was unsought by me, and
in complying with their request, felt
that | was making a pecuniary sacrifice
my straitened condition did not warrant.
But being assured that there would be
no opposition anxious to have the State
represented in Congress, was willing to
make the experiment of demanding act
mittance and if admitted, to the extent
of my ability, aid in maintaining that
which is left Of our constitutional rights,
against the spirit of fanatlcism, which
would deprive u.s. Of its last vestiges and
would substitute in lieu thereof liberty
that springs from liqentiousnesss and an;
known to the Fathers of the Republic.
and which President Johnson is now SO
nobly resisting. .r.e.
| felt also that there was q great work
to be accomplsed-that OF the reorgan,
ization of society and Government; which
could be done only by intellectual aid
moral power, which when wisely dtrec-
ted never fails to promote MANS SOCIAL
well.being; when hSwever confused by
human ambition or the baser passions OF
our organism, the object of Government,
the happiness of mankind is defeated,
and the benign influence Of civil and re-
ligious liberty, lost amid the mRdened
and frenzied passions oc The people, and
although conscious that did not pos
sess those qualities of mind which this
great work requires, still r was willing to
labor for its attainment. But circumstances
have changed. On my return home from
business trip. in Tennessee, | was in
formed that Judge Evans. and FranI2ln
Smith were candidates; that Mr.. Evans
was canvassing, and our ffienGs-were dest
rousthat we should canvass the district.
learn from rumor that Mr.. Evans raises
issues against me, but do not know
what those issues are, and cannot, there
fore, respond to them through the press.
Important engagements, public and pri,
vate, will prevent me from even visiting
the different portions of the District. ]

I'D. CLARION II congratulate you or
the course you have taken, sustained as
see it now is, by Gov, Sharkey, and the
military authorities. believe the PEG
pie and the next Legislature will alec
sustain you. 1t does not go SO far as your
correspondent did, but upon a review o.
the matter, as far, must candidly &C
knowledge, as the amendment to the
constitutionrenders absolutely obligato.
ry. think the, Legislature should go
furthur, as they have the power, and
repeal all ihee1npetency for color But
this is perhaps not present issue before
the people, and do not wish to compli
cate the question by any addition thai
would be extraneous. II For the same
reason let it be understood that the right
of S,Brageis not..an issue. This is a ques.
ton that can only be decided by con.
yention, or regular change of the consti-
tuition. The late Convention has decided
it for the present. 1t isnot granted ex.
cept to the white race, and as the coun-
try now stands, it cannot be changed
without making this fair State a colored
province. 1t is Leading, of on a false
issue to briug it up now, II is dishonest
to the people to consider it as involved in
the right to testify. Perhaps in the
course Of century, or half, or fourth
of that period, if the negroes should
have advanced Ia civilization, to anything
like similarity with the governing race,
it may become question, for our own
interest. Now let it be understood this
proposition is confined to the extreme
radicals of the North. That so far as we
are concerned, the white race Of the South
are ready to perish, or become exiles
from this land before ii can be granted.
But the admission into courts as Incl
dent to, and necessary to their protection
in person and property-must be now
regarded as settled question. From
this out every magistrate IN the State will
admit colored persons to sue and be sued,
and testify wherever one of their own
color is intended. And such. movements
never go backwards. 1t is now the fact
the settled policy, and, l verify believe,
we will soon perceive it is the best /, for
every class. All honor to Gov. Sharkey
for his wisdom, and to the President and
military authorities for their moderation.
Let the magistrates and the, people. now
determine that it shall be carried out in
good faith. Letthe same high course be
taken by our Judiciary which has always
distinguished them, to administer the laws
ard do justice, whatever may be the re.
suit. -aa94,s. JUSTICE.

GA. & ALA RAILRoAD.-ThisR Road that
is to connect Rome with Jacksonville,
ought to be completed as SOON as posi-
be. We uuders.an that the work of
completing the Selma and Tennessee
River Railroad to Jacksonville will soon
be commenced and be pushed on rapidly
even to completion, in a few months at
farthest.
So This is one of the most important links
in the whole chain of railroads in the
United States, constituting, as it does, a
part of the shortest and best route be-
tween New York and New Orleans. For
about two-thirds of the distance over this
broken link, the road is already graded
and nearly all the bridges and culverts
built.
About $s0, 900 in gold have been ex-
pended between Rome and the Alabama
line and 1T possible that the Stockhold.
ers are going to lose that and also the
untold advantages Of this Road to them
selves and the whole country without
even an effort to save it :? 1t seems to us
the easiest thing imaginable to have this
Road completed at a very early day. Not
by Southern capital, to be sure, but by
Northern 1t is now flush times at the
North. and there are millions upon top
of millions of dollars there seeking pro
ftable and permanent investment. Why
not have a meeting of the Stockholders
and resolve to sell the Road after extern

perhaps, it may be deemed better to send
an Agent the1 e to sell it or borrow mon
ey to complete it.. or do whatever else the
Stockholders or Director may deem for
the best interest of all concerned.-Romc
