WHAT THE SOUTHERN People
OPPOSE,

The New York Tribune gave a few
days ago the true reason why Bullock and
his henchmen, so earnestly desire to have
Georgia reconstructed and their term of
Office extended by act of Congress. That
paper said: When you go the bottom
of the case, you find the argument for
further reconstruction amounting to Just
this: 'If you allow the people of Geor-
gia TO elect new rulers, they won't elect
as Senator Howard, of Michigan.
made similar confession when he de-
clared in the United States Senate that he
was satisfied that a majority of the voters
of Georgia are opposed TO the Radical
party, and opposed to TIE government of
the United States" 1t is undoubtedly
true that large majority of the voters of
Georgia are opposed 10 the Radical party,
its measures and men. The Radicals put
this fact upon record when they appealed
to the bayonet, and not the ballot, for re
construction, and substituted military des-
potism for the will and wish of the peo-
pie. 1t is equally true that a large ma
jority Of the voters of Tennessee
arc opposed to the Radical party, and
,,hence the effort to have this State recon
structed At no time since the close of
the war could this State have been carrie
for the Radical party, if the people had
been allowed to express their sentiments
in a manner consistent with the theory of
our system of government 1t is slso
true of every Southern State, except per-
haps South Carolina, in which the negro
vote SO largely predominates. This was
well known by Senator Howard and those
with whom be acts, and hence they placed
States and people under military rule,
and allowed Generals and those in com
mand to control the elections, place what
ballots in the box they pleased, and return
candidates as elected who would not have
a score of votes under a free election.
The Radical party has no hold upon
the people of the South, and the po-
litical contests in that section have
been cheats and frauds. But while this
portion of Senator Towards declaration l
is true, it is not true that the people Of
the South are opposed to the government
of the United States in q general sense.
They are opposed TO the government of
the Radical party, to outrages upon the
to the win of Sumner, But
Ter and their bigoted and corrupt follow

ers. They are opposed e having the
Constitution infracied under The guise of
amendments, to the Substitution of the
sword for the ballot to the dominion of
negroes, to the degradation of white men,
TO bad laws administered BY bad men,
They are opposed to merging the Judicial
and Executive branches of the govern
ment in the Legislature, the appointment
of Judges Of i've Supreme Court of the
United States for the sole purpose of
giving political bias to the decisions OF
that once august tribunal. To all these
out-ages, majority of the people Of the
South are opposed, And so they should
be. But they are not opposed to the gov
eminent of the United States when admin
istered in a proper manner, and with due
regard for the theory and principles of 9
republican form of government.

In November, 1868, the vote stood:
G. A. Sheafe, Democrat............ 5,054
Lewis Tillman, Radical. 8, sos
Sheafe's majority. 156
The registrars in several counties threw
out number of votes in the hope OF
''electing" Tillman, but when the returns
thus emasculated were sent to the Secre-
tary of the State, ii was found that Sheafe
was still elected. Then Brownlow, VINO
was Governor, tried his hand at "throW-
ing out, ~ and he succeeded in 'Selecting'
TiIlman and gave him the certificate.
Tillman has been occupying the seat thus
obtained. Capt. Sheafe has contested
Tillman's right to the seat, but the matter
has not yet been disposed of. 1t appears
that Tillman claims that many persons
not residents of Franklin, Bedford, Ruth
erford, Cannon and Giles counties, who
were disqualified, voted against him for
Capt Sheafe, and that these said voters
were procured TO come within the differ
ent counties for that purpose. The
SheIbyville american Rescue says
This is the tale Tillman tells in
Washington, a thousand miles away
from home. he probably forgot that this
was an age of progress, and that railroads,
telegraphs and printing presses abounded
all over the land. Strange, isn't it, that
the Democracy should procure men,to come
to these counties to vote against him,
loyal men at that, for none but those who
held certificates from Brownlow's regis
trars could exercise that right in 1868
The judges and clerks Of that election
were all of the loyal, Brownlow class,
and it was as possible for a camel to 90
through the eye of needle as for a man
to vote without certificate from under
their (the registrars) fist. But no one
here will be surprised at anything Tillman
may say or do, since he accepted the Ger
tifcate of election, when he was fairly
beaten by the actual bona tide voters of
the district by majority of l, 15G votes "

The New York Commercial Adcer-
tiSer, Radical paper, very properly sug-
gests "While President Grant is con-
sidering the subject of removing the dis
abilities of Southern men, let him re-
member that one Of their chief disabili-
ties is poverty, and that as long as the
screaming farce or Double Headed Re-
construction is enacted at Washington,
there can't be much improvement. "

THE Shelbyville Anaerican-Rescue is
out in favor of the reelection of Capt.
c. A. Sheafe to represent the fourth dis.
trict IN Congress. Capt. ShCafe was
elected over Tillman in 1865, by majo'
rity of 1,156, but Brownlow gave the
certificate of election TO the latter, and
although Tillman was pledged not to &C
cept the certificate unless he received 8
majority of the votes cast, he did accept
it and is now holding a seat in Congress tC
which he was not elected.

The Merchants, Tax.

The subioined letter and endorsement
from Messrs. Rhea and Walker, Represen-
tatives of this county in the Legislature,
fully and distinctly states the nature Of the
act passed by that body in january last
relative TO Che merchants tax
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March Is, 1S70.-Mr.
J. G. Kenley-Dear Sir: BY the act of the
18th of January last, all merchants are re-
quired TO take a new license and give bond
and security that at the end of twelve
months they will come forward aud pay
the taxes that may be due, according TO the
provisions of said act. By the sixteenth
section of the act merchants are required
to settle up under the old law before taking
ont license under the new, paying the In
voice tax on the taxable purchases made by
them since last settlement; but at the time
of taking out the new license no money is
payable except the Clerks fees until the
end of the twelve months. The ad valorem
and the license tax alike run to the end of
the year. Yours truly, b. 5. RHEA
The foregoing letter of Maj. Rhea is a
correct statement Of the law.
