soc1A1 EQUALITY IN GEORGIA.

The Supreme Court Of Georgia, few
weeks ago, decided that, under the constltu-
ton and code Of that State, there WIS no
disqualification Of q negro from boldinG
Office. The Constitution Of Georgia recog-
nizes, as the established law Of the State,
the previously existing code Of laws, except
to the extent that the same conflicts with the
new constitution. The code never ex-
cIuded negroes from Office; cn the contrary.
it declared all male citizens Of right eligible
to office unless specially disqualified. The
new constitution. by making negroes clh-
zens, placed them on an equality In this
respect with all other citizens.
But in the matter Of marriages between
whites and blacks, the case is different.
The code expressly prohibited such mar
riages, and the constitution contains no
clause or provision modifying or repeating
the prohibition. The code, therefore,
stands MS the law of the State. Upon the
question whether the Legislature can repeal
this prohibitory section Of the CODE, the
Court is strongly Of opinion that the Leg
stature has no such power. The State Con-
stitution, after re-enaeting the code, ex-
pressly prohibits the Legislature from max
ing the social status OF the citizen the
" subject Of legislation" This, the Court
decides, leaves the social status Of all per
sons exactly aa it stood when the constltu-
ton was adopted. The Court says:

The Convention Bill,

III $500
UThe biz calling a Constitutional Con-
vention of the people of the State passed
the 10Th inst, and is now a law. The bill
limits the number of Delegates to seven
ty-fve. The election will take place on
thsuthirG Saturday in December.
As It'll now a settled fact that we are
to have a Convention, lev the Conserva-
tives of each county go to work and or
ganize, and nominate such men for Dele
gates as will meet the appreciation of the
people, and who possess experience in
State affairs, and who will reflect credit
thereon.
The Conservatives of this county will
hold an election at their respective places
of voting o. Saturday next, for the pur-
pose of selecting two suitable Delegates,
from each district, to the County Couyen-
tion, which will meet at jacksonville, on
Monday the 22d inst, to nominate caudi-
dates for the Constitutional Convention.
which is to meet at Nashville the lot h Of
January, 1870.
We hope there will be a good turnout
in each district, and that good men will be
sent up to the County Convention, men who
will know for what purpose they are sent.
and who will cast their votes with diScre-
ton, rs to the man who should represent
the county in the State Convention. We
warn the Conservatives of the county to
be careful in making the nomination, let
him, by all means, be 4 good and true man.
Don't 60 to jacksonville and disagree as
to who he should be, but work harmoui-
ously together, and then, if the nominee he
a good man, let all center their whole
strength upon him. We onot, honestly,
believe that he will meet with any oppo-
sition from the other party. We have
the power now, and let us exercise it so as
not to debar any white citizen Of his
rights-but use it to the good of both par
ties; by doing this we will gain many
votes, and large additions will be made to
the conservative ranks, thereby securing
success to our party for all time to come.
Let us not heed the doctrines emanating
from old broken down politicians; we
have had enough of them, they should be
dropped from the roll, and sound, sensible
young men placed at the head Of the col
umn. Old issues are now dead, we want
men suitable to the times.

The Tax on Farmers,

The following letter from the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, addressed to
General Daniel Woodall, Assessor of
United States Internal Revenue for Della
ware, is published for the information of
all concerned
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, WASH
INGToN, Nov. 6, lS68.-Sir: Your letter
of the 4th inst, inquiring ''if farmers who
60 to market regularly twice a week and
sell their produce from the curbstone
along the market, at any place they can
find not already occupied, should be re-
garded as produce brokers,' is received.
[ reply that they should be regarded as
produce brokers, and required to pay spe-
cial tax as such.
Farmers are exempt from special tax
when selling their produce at the place of
production, or in the manner of peddlers,
but selling at the market place, even
though u different stand or station is TIA
ken every time, is not selling in the name
Of Il peddIer.
The farmer who is in the habit of going
to the market place and selling in the
manner above indicated makes it his bust
ness to sell, and should be required to pay
special tax accordingly.
Very respectfully,
j. W. DoUcLAss, Acting Comm'r.

Preservation of Public Records.

Editor ofhe Enterprise:
l would, as a citizen deeply interested
in the prosperity of our good old county,
make a suggestion to our worshipEul Coun-
ty Court, which has done much, under the
circumstances, for the last three gears.
1t has provided a good and commodious
Court House and Jail, with many appli-
ances for the comfort of tie officers, and
the dispatch of business. There are few
counties in the State possessing a more
convenient Court House, or a more efficient
and accommodating set of officers; still,
there is one "enterprise" our worshipful
Court should enter upon, and that is, to
provide a FIRE proof vault, or large safe
or a fire proof Clerks office, for the Coun-
ty Court Clerk, and the County Register.
A separate building on one corner of the
square would, perhaps, be most desirable,
with %alcoves for circuit and chancery rec
ords. Built Of brick, one story, with arch
ed roof, and covered with slate-with a
slate floor, in square of diamond blocks
iron window frames, doors, and shutters.
Our citizens could hardly estimate the loss
of the books and papers in our Clerks Of
fee, including all records of estates, as we'll
as the Registers books, with all the titles
to the lands of every citizen, involving,
if burned, endless litigation. 1t, appa-
rently, is not right for the court, who are
the conservators of the public good, to
permit such a contingency of loss to exist.
The expense would be small, comparative
IL, and as | understand our county will be,
In a measure, free from debt, for the first
time in many years-the present is a good
time to provide against the calamity of
fire.
1t is true, there are many matters press
ing upon the consideration of our worship
full Court, such as bridges over our creeks
and runs, and work upon our leading roads
to market; as well as Improvements to our
Poor House, and looking to the comfort of
our poor-wbo we have always with US.
Still, the Legislature should change the
law in reference to the application of la
Dor on the common roads, and relieve the
Court from a very embarrassing, portion
of it's duties, and one of vital Importance
to property holders.
Imake these suggestions to the Court
in all humility, and with a full knowledge
of all the surroundings 10 u people,
aud feel that the saying is true, "that an
ounce of preventative is better than a
pound Of cure" MONROE.

NEW YORK.


New York, Nov. l3.-Rela'iyo to the
s~tupendous drawback frauds in the GUS
tomhouse here, the sun calls for The 30
moval Of Grinnrll, he beng perfectly hon,
est, but incompetent to fill his position.
1t says the frauds of BIatchtord were
brought to Grinncll's notice three weeks
ago, but lie refused to listen to the char
ges. Subsequently he gave BIatcht0rd Il
leave Of absence, when he went to Canada,
and has since left for Europe.
The examination of the case of R. r.
Mulligan, charged with completely in the
drawback frauds, commenced to-day be-
fore Commissioner Osb Jrne. The pri0ci-
pal witness was Wm. }. korn, who test
fed to Mulligin's knowledge Of any con-
Germ in the matter i'll which Kom was at
the time an interested party, having re-
ccivcd his share, about $4,000. The case
was adjourned to Friday next.
Travis \. Howard, the perso" W. is
stated to have discovered the frauds in
Washington and to have subsequently
helped the matter along and participated
in the proceedings, is now under indict-
ment for alleged participation in the
frauds theu brought before the Commits
%sioner, and gave bail in $4,000 for ex-
animation on Monday.
The Herald says the Natlonl banks are
aiming at the control of the money in the
country. 1t holds that the National bank
currency ought to be withdrawn and
grecnbacks Issued in its place. The West
and South, as we'll as the East and North,
might have then as many banks as they
choose that is, banks Of deposit and loans,
and for commercial accommodation, which
is the only Legitimate business OF banking,
all using ut the same time the currency OF
the Government aud the people. The
Government would then get the benefit Of

The House met at ten Il. M, slXty-SlX
members present; Speaker Perkins in the
chair.
James, of Hamilton, introduced a bill
to authorize the construction of the Gin
%cinnati Southern Railroad through Ten
ncsSee.
This bill was introduced at therequest
of certain parties interested in the enter
prise, who are now here from Cincinnati
and Chattanooga.
The road will be under contract at an
early day.
The following Senate bills passed first
reading:
To repeal the loyal indemnity act.
To revive the old charter of Knoxville.
Thomas, from the Committee of Con-
ference on the Constitutional Convention
Bill, reported that the committees could
not agree.
A lively parliamentary struggle took
place, resulting in the refusal Of the House
to recede, by a vote of 81 to 80.
a new committee was ordered.
The enemies of ex-President johnson
charge that he is at the bottom of the dis
agreement of the two Houses, for the real
son that, under the Senate amendment he
would have to be a candidate from the
Senatorial District, instead of, simply,
from Greene county, and therefore he
would, under the Senate amendment, run
IA risk of being defeated.
The House bill compelling voters to
vote in their own districts, passed third
reading.
The Senate is stubborn and the House
is determined. Meanwhile the people are
growing more inpatient. Let a compro-
mise be made on the basis of a delegate
from each county and all will DO we'll.
