r,.n.a Aavisers or tho south.

Herschel v. johnson, D. F. Perry, and Bonj. 81.
Hill, are the three men whose mission is to dis
tract and betray tho South, discourage loyalty,
and reviyo treason. They have had tolcrablo
vention has increased of late in South Carolina,
and especially in Georgia, and reconstruction is
DELAYED. Nor is the evil influence Of these agita-
tors confined to their OWL States; it is felt
throughout the South, wherever there is Rebel
who regrets or n Ss reeen
speech at Atlanta, has very plainly stated
tie policy of his class, which is simply
to porpetuate the strife of tho South and North,
to Iidicule as unmanly the spirit Of reconciliation,
and to prevent reconstruction by oil means in their
power. He tells the people Of the South that the
they carry them out thoy aid in tho violation. It
you vote for The Constitution, you are perjured."
10 tho Republican party he says: "On, on, with
your work OF ruin, 70 hell-born rioters IN sacred
things but remember the people will call you to
judgment" and to the Union men OF Georgia: "You
are but towards and knaves and the time will como
when you will call upon the rocks and mountains
to fall on you, and the darkness to hide you
from an h outraged R0 n abandon And to ms % FSb
Defend them, talk for them, and if need be before
God and the country, fight and die for them" He
informs the negroes that the Republicans are
their worst friends, and intend thoir extermina-
tion When we read that all this fustian and false
hood was received with unboundcd applause, and
that three cheers were givon for Mr.. Hill as the
only man who dared to proclaim the truth, it
is easy to see the evil that his counsels work.
Georgia, if she takes the advice OF such men, will
hayo dark future; her restoration to the
Union will be long delayed, and oil hcr inter
ests must suffer. There is but one way to
peace and prosperity obedience to tho laws. The
plan CONGRESS- has laid down is the plan approved
BY tho nation, and in no other way can the rebel
States regain the position they voluntarily aban-
doned and tho rights they forfeited by reasonable
war. Gen. Barksdale, Of Mississippi, gave wiser
counsel when he said: cit must bo remembered
that when the armies Of the Confederate States
surrendered the Government of tho United States
acquired tho power to dictate the terms OF recon-
struction, and that there is no instrumentality,
short of Divine agency, which can take tho work
Of reconstruction from the hands Of tho present
Congress. ~. Y. Tribune.

comfy fallen have washed out tho fears beginning

The Charleston and savannah railroad

The Charleston and Savannah Railroad.
To the Editor Of The Daily Ne,os:
In your issue OF tho Sd instant allusion is made
to s2jO,OOO lost in tho demise of the Charleston
and Savannah Railroad Company, ending with the
significant remark: ssWe ne'er shall see that $780,
900 again." Possibly not, Mr.. Editor; but Us there
happens to be two sides to question, purpose
with your permission) to present you with the
facts upon which that transaction of $3.50 900 was
based, and although they may have passed from
the memory of many, they are still very transpa-
rent to me.
True, as you assert, the City Council did agree
to subscribe s250,O0O in aid of the late Charles
ton and Savannah Railroad Company, under the
following stipulations, viz: First, that tho sub
scripton should not be paid in money, but that
5000, 900 should be paid in Wilmington and Mall
chester Railroad stock Chose owned by the city, at
par value, at which tinlo the market valuo of this
was $50 on the 500; also $50 900 in stock of the
Kings Mountain Railroad Company fthen owned
by the city, at par value, at which time this stock
was worth about 500 OH the S1Oo. This was tho
mode of payment, amounting in reality only to
substitution of stock, each considered ultimately
good, with the exception Of one being an unfnish-
ed road, the other two completed but neither pay
ing dividends.
The "stipulatiocs" demanded by the City CouIi-
Gil were the right of selecting two directors to rep
resent thcm in tho Board of Direction, which
right the City Council, in their wisdom and fair
dealing, soon construed to moan the entire Board,
and, by happy combination with tho State vote,
controlled the election of President and Directors
of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad Compa-
nv, originally destined to be the great central
thoroughfarc, and shortest mail route from New
York to New Orleans uio Charlest IN and Sa-
vannah, built and equipped at cost Of s3,OOO0OO,
suddenly transformed into an asylum for
for tho favored few A free travelling convenience
to many, but an annoyance and vcxation 10 the
holders of at least 81 100000 of its bonds, who, to
got possession and control of their own property,
were compelled to purchase the road, and who are
now rapidly restoring it to its original design and
prosperity with their own means and in their own
way.
When a corporation, by majority vote, risk
public property or money entrusted to them and
the result proves disastrous, they have no cause
to plain, but it should be to them an adomni-
ton, as it has been to individuals. Let the Men,
phis and Charleston, the Blue Ridge, tho Green-
vile and Columbia, and oil other railroads set to
with will, apply their own means with economy,
industry and vigorous determination to go
ahead, they will succeed and find thoir account in
BONDS AND STOCK.

THE RICHMOND (VA.) Wing says: "Somo super
sensitive gentlemen arc Mortified at the thought
of cooperating with the Republican party, consid-
ering the attitude in which we stood toward each
other during the war, who not at all shocked at
the idea OF ffclowshipping the Democratic party. We
have heretofore directed attention to the fact that
the latter not only fought against cSouth fierce
w as tic former, but that thcy were answerable be-
sides for having beguiled the South into the war
and then betrayed her. AS one of the victimized,
we believe we can declare for the whole South, that
the experiment Of secession would not have been
tried but for the thousand-timcs repeated assur-
ances of the Democratic leaders that if an army
should be raised in the North for the purpose Of
making war upon the South, it would be met by
another army raised in the North to defend the
Democratic Interpretation Of tho Constitution.

Collision Between the Military nnd Civil
Authorities.
WASHINGTON, August Marshal GooDLoE, OF
the District of North Carolina has reported to the
Attorney-Gener that the process OF the United
States District Court lately held by Chief Justice
CEASE, is obstructed by order Of Lieutenant
Colonel FRANK, commanding the Post Of Whining
ton. The ground is expressly mentioned In the
order to be, that in each Of the cases obstructed
the cause of action adjudcated upon by Judge
CHASE accrued between September 19, 1860, and
May Is, 1866. General SIcKLEs' Order No. 10 bav-
ing forbidden judges to entertain any suits for
matters accruing between those dates, the Mar
shal supposes that General SICKIEs did not mean
to include Courts Of the United States. Col.
FRANK interprets the order differently. Marshal
GooDIoE has suspended action until he shall hear
from Gen. SICKLEs, or receive instructions from
Washington, being anxious to avoid any collision.
This matter is regarded as very grave event,
although the impression prevails that The COM
mandant at Wilmington has acted without the
knowledge of Gen. s1cKLEs, who is confidently ex-
pected to disapprove his action. GooDLoE's course
has been approved at the Attorney Generals
Office, but no step will be taken until sufficient
time shall have passed for report from the Com
manding General.
