WILL the legislature Of Georgia
adopt the XVIII Amendment? Vir-
GINA has been defrauded, her profess
sions Of loyalty are derided, and
promises, On which her action was
based, are uurulfued. Other exactions
are to be imposed. Radicalism would
take a bond Of fate, overthrow all sys-
tens and violate all pledges, actual or
implied, in dealing with Southern
States. IN view OF these facts, it is
possible that the State Of Georgia may
be wholly unmanageable. The people
have learned that nothing is to be
gained at the hands Of Radicalism by
reimbursement, by kissing the rod that
smites, or by that t~rdculence which
caused Democracy in Mississippi TO
robe Itself IN the clst-of garments Of
Republicanism. 1t rests with Georgia
10 accept or reject the XVIII Amend
ment. BY her action the fate of this
enormity in legislation may be deter
miRed. Georgia may fasten negro
suffrage OF the whole Union, or ex-
tirpate the foul abOminatiOn. Bull
LOCK having reconvened his piebald
legislature, may find it difficult to
gather a quorum when the great issue
must be determined. III it be possible,
the people Of Georgia will surely
evade the necessity Of becoming re
sponsiblet to the whole country for that
thorough transformation Of our system
Of government involved IN the adop-
ton Of this pending amendment.

THE following, from the st. Louis
Republican, is suggestive. We need
labor, and until we have a permanent
and suficientsupply it may be worthy
Of more general attention Of our plan
tiers. The Republican says:
"Our readers are aware that the
cotton and sugar crops are not usually
gathered and saved before December,
and frequently not till February, the
harvest of these great staples COM
mencing only at the time IN the fall
when the grain and grass crops Of the
West and Northwest are completely
gathered. Thus what we call char
vast" in this latitude, is entirely over
by the middle of September, when
contemplating in the South has not
fully begun and cane-ginding is still a
month distant. 1t occurred to Southern
planters that labOrers who had finished
the harvest in the West might be en-
plOyed to assist in securing the crops
at the South, and a number Of them
came TO Illinois and Indiana i'm Octo-
Der TO look for hands. They sue
ceeded beyond their expectations, and
returned with a force Of industrious
laborers sufficient TO pick their cotton
and grind their cane independent of
the unreliable negroes who, 10 some
places, leave the plantations at the
time when they are most needed.
One planter went to Chicago. and
chose twenty-siX men out Of three
hundred applicants who offered their
services. They are TO remain in Lou
isiana all the winter, until April.
when, if they desire TO, they can re-
turn TO assist in putting in the crop in
illinois,"

THE editor of the Jackson Tribune
having recently made a visit TO Mis-
sissippi states that in the neighbour
hood of West Point, Columbus and
Aberdeen, the negroes have inaugu-
rated a reign of terror since ALCoRN's
election. At West Point on the 18th,
a serious collision between whites and
blacks was only prevented by the in
reference of Federal troops. The
Tribune says:
"There can be no doubt that either
the negro or the white man must
leave Central Mississippi. We con-
versed with some Of the most intelli-
gent men Of that section, and they
stated that affairs with them were in
tOlerable. Negroes hold the offices,
and use their power without mercy.
\ Hayti frOwns down upon US, and it
mas been built up by giving the ne
gro the ballot. Such are the first visi-
bic fruits of reconstruction. Let our
people beware. They must not per-
init any man to seduce them to COM
init 50 fearful a crime as to establish
permanently a negro government over
ii sister State. We know that Missis-
sippi is eager for Tennessee to come to
her rescue. Her true sons are praying
that we may hold u own, and not
90 down before the black lava OF uni
verSal suffrage"

THE purpose q the APPEAL in its
editorial Of yesterday wa simply to
induce the Chamber Of Commerce TO
undertake the adjustment Of the rail-
road embroglio in Arkansas. By ref
erence 10 our local columns it will be
seen that our object was attained, and
now, that the facts may be clearly ex-
pounded and the truth developed, we
would suffer all personal feeling in
volved in the controversy to rest for a
time. Our purposes thus far have
been attained, and our sole remaining
purpose is to promote the fortunes OF
this city and Of Arkansas. COntrasted
with considerations Of this character
mere personal predictions sink into
nothingness. Our opinions Of course
are unchanged, but we did not pro-
pose to thrust them into the faces Of
the five excellent citizens to whom, as
we desired, an adjustment Of the con-
troyersy has been entrusted by the
Chamber OF Commerce.

Emigration to Arkansas.

The Little Rock Gazette V A
friend writing from GAINESVILLE, under
date Of the 18th, says: "You would
be astonished to see the immense i'm
migration pouring into the Arkansas
valley, and they all seem to be of the
right sOrt-the hardy sons of toll, who
come to work and make a living and
build up the fortunes of the State.
The speech of Gov. Clayton has done
more TO give encouragement to immi-
grafton, and to assure protection to
settlers, and encourage their coming
among us, than all the immigration
agents he could appoint. Before that
speech, people were not disposed to
risk their all-life, liberty aud proper
ty-in a State governed By q mass Of
Ignorant, unprincipled and savage
militia. l think the Governor has
done himself great credit by the bold
and manly stand he has taken. One
thing only is wanted to crown his
Hberality and efforts to do right: the
appointment of honest Registrars next
spring, who will place upon the lists
the names Of all entitled TO vote. Then
a new era Of order, law and peCee
will ensue and make Arkansas a
great State"

THE ~MAYoRALTY.
A Sensible Gard From Col. C. A. Hanson.

Editors appeal: In response to the
call upon me, published in your paper
of Yesterday, 10 becomean Independent
candidate for Mayor, | unhesitatingly
and positively refuse to permit my
name to be used as such. Even
if / sought the Office, which
l do not, l could not be a
disOr0dnizer of the Democratic party.
| recognize Convention nominations
as a part of our party discipline, ne
cessary, at all times, for united effort,
and more particularly so now than
heretofore.
NV name was presented, by a
friend. to the late Convention, but
was not acceptable, and l am bound
by that decision, and L cheertully sub
nit to it. And 1 think that every
other man, who is a Democrat or
Conservative, and desires that the in
terests of our city be protected from
the Numbering clutches of the rabble,
who would like to take advantage Of
our confusion, to secure places in her
government, will readily yield their
claims to the wishes of the people,
whenever they are made known
through a Convention or otherwise,
and that harmony will be restored
and the right will prevail. In my
humble opinion, it is impossible to
secure the success of the Democratic
party, or to settle the claims of as
pirants, by putting Independent can-
didGteS in the field. And the enemy
are now watching anXiously for a split
of cur party that will enable them to
put in Office a man whose administra-
ton would be directed to the benefit
of his friends, instead Of citizens lCho
are most interested.
The new city charter placing all the
city offices and the police at the dis
posal of the Mayor and Common
Council creates powers that would be
dangerous in the hands of any man
who regards his own or his party's
interest as paramount to all others;
and as a citizen, l warn the people TO
s'hedge them ino as far as possible at
the ballOt-boX, and to see to it that
they do not pass by default, or for
want of organized and united effort,
into the hands of any but Whie men,
and only into the hands of such Of
those as will not barter away their au-
thOrity for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
I offer no past record as a guarantee
for myself, and 1 do not think that
having been a Confederate soldier
gives me any claims upon, or that it
should be suggested TO influence the
people or win their support for me in
this contest. Capacity and ability
alone should be the standard by which
to select a candidate.
Desiring that our city should be
ably and honestly governed, L will
~cheerfully give my humble support TO
the nan that in the wisdom of the
people may be selected. l am ready
to do all l can fairly for the public
good; but I UiU not be an independent
candidate for Mayor.
G. A. HANSON.
