SAVANNAH NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.’ MONDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 23. 1865.
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
SAVANNAH:
MONDAY MORNING, OCT. 83d.
THE J^TATE
CONVENTION-
On Wednesday next the Convention
whieh is to redeem or destroy the future
reputation of our State, mil assemble at
Milledgeville. As we have before re
marked, no deliberative body of equal im
portance has ever convened in the Em
pire State, and the people of Georgia, as
the whole nation, are eagerly and with
the greatest anxiety watching for
the first key notes. Our knowl
edge of the political status of the
majority of the delegates elected from
the various counties, impresses us with the
belief that the entire session of the Con
vention will be marked with harmony and
conservatism, and the true interests of
our State will not be neglected, nor the
wishes of the people disregarded by
the men who have been entrusted with
such grave responsibilities ae rest upon
every delegate.
The ordinance of secession must be
cheerfully and without a dissenting voice
declared null and void. Let us save our
State from such a blot as rests upon the
Convention record of our sister State,
South Carolina, where three delegates
voted against the repeal of the ordinance
of secession. We predict that there will
be no unnecessary delay in our Conven -
tion towards restoring Georgia to her
proper relations with the Government,
and that with so many delegates of ac
knowledged talent, ability, and strong
influence, Gov. Johnson will be able to
report Georgia safely in the Union within
a month,-that is so far as a ready acquies
cence in the “new order of things” can
restore us.
’ The fearful Confederate debt
which overhangs our State must
be repudiated, and that this will
be done we cannot doubt, although
we hear of one or two delegates who are
in favor of acknowledging the rebel debt.
It is not probable, however, that such a
proposition as the recommending of the
unjust measure will even be introduced
in the Convention. That the curse of
slavery will be gladly wiped forever from
our State, admits of no reasonable doubt.
We trust that the humane and sensible
action of the Legislature of Mississippi
in sanctioning the admission of colored
testimony in the) Courts of justice,
will be imitated. The question of
universal suffrage of which so much
was said by our political opponents
in the recent election for delegates, will
probably not be broached, as it is a mat
ter with which Conventions have little or
nothing to do, the decision resting with
the Legislature. A great deal of foolish
talk has been indulged in here about ‘ ‘uni
versal suffrage,” but it does not require a
great deal of metaphysical ingenuity
to understand that this great
question is not yet an issue, con
sequently all the abuse and rhodo-
montade that were lavished upon the
candidates of the Georgia Union Club was
so much idle bosh. However, “every
thing is fair in war,” and we presume it
is the same in politics, but there was
something decidedly ridiculous in our
political opponents striving to make
the people believe that the great problem
of universal suffrage was to be decided by
a State Convention, convened by the au
thority of a Provisional Governor. There
are Several obnoxious clauses in our old
State Constitution, which will undoubt
edly be discussed, and the whole compact
so revised as to render justice to all men
in the full enjoyments of their rights and
liberties.
It may be that the Convention will de
cide as her sister State Mississippi has in
relation to submitting to the people the
Constitutional Amendment abolishing
slavery in the United States, the latter
Convention deciding by a large majority
that it was a question with which they
had no authority to act, the Legislature
alone having the power to act on that
Amendment.
All we ask for is,* that whatever is
done may be done quickly and that the
proceedings of the Georgia State Con
vention may be harmonious and effective,
and characterized by that spirit which
Justice, Wisdom aud Moderation now so
urgently demands. Upon the voice of our
Convention hangs the future weal or woe
of Georgia, and we trust that our people
will not be discouraged by reading of an
gry harangues on the differences of the
past, and in foolish lamentations over the
downfall of slavery. The delegates sent
to thia Convention should refrain from
wrangling discussions over old notions,
and let energy, discretion and unanimity
prevail, until this work of gigantic impor
tance is properly and completely finished.
We shall expect to hear good reports
from men with honest hearts, no matter
how widely they have differed from us in
the bitter past. Let partizan feeling and
vindictive rancor, engendered by the war,
be buried, and while passion subsides
reason will assert her rights, and justice
again resume triumphant sway. The inter
ests of the people are at stake ; popular
men haveybeen sent to protect them, and
as the delegates are men of capacity, se
lected with especial regard for their
tq represent the varied interests of
our people, they havo a right to demand
that their rights and interests are ca
fully guarded and not imperilled by rash
ness.
As faithful chroniclers of the times it
is evident that we have but one course to
pursue, and that is to advocate all measures
put forth for the benefit of the people.
We do not care to stop now to enquire
whether a man has been a whig, a demo
crat, a States rightrfanatic, conservative
or radical secessionist, providing his ac
tions to-day show a desire to yield implicit
obedience to the laws of the land. We look
now for honesty of purpose in the mo
tives of all public meii. Wherever we
see a determination to faithfully sustain
the Government, we mean to render our
hearty support, and as we have no de
sire but for the speedy prosperity of
Georgia, and the obliteration of all the
gloomy traces of the uuhappy strife which
severed the bonds that once united us
and made us a free, happy and prosper
ous people. '.
If wisdom, consistency and integrity
prevails, such steps will be taken in the
Convention as will soon renew our former
amicable relations with the Government,
and without the restoration of which,
the doom of Georgia is sealed. The
folly and madness that ruled four years
ago and worked so much mischiefgpnd
misery, has got to be atoned for by
solemn pledges for the future. Govern
meut has generously permitted us to at
tempt, in our own way, to restore the
laws and re-organize our State, that
she may enter at once upon a career of
renewed and greater prosperity than she
has ever enjoyed before. If passion, in
consistency, and the bitter prejudices of
slavery are allowed to warp the judgment
of the delegates, we may be sure that the
refractory conduct will meet with prompt
punishment, and we shall soon learn
keenly that “The conqueror gives law to
the conquered,” and that national law is
higher than State law. Our people, those
of them who endorsed and advocated the
secession movement, may yet hear the
tinkling of the Presidential bell at the
White House, whose tones will proclaim
that by our past acts we are prevented
from claiming any rights under the laws
we so stubbornly repudiated and readily
annulled.
Let no ungrateful factionsts retard the
progress of the noble Wotk of reconstruc
tion. It would be well for ambitions
men to remember what, a contempo
rary well says with regard to reconstruc
tion, that it “does not consist in the ap
pointment of Provisional Governors, Fed
eral Judges, District Attorneys, Marshals,
and other Federal officers in the South
ern States, nor in the popular election
of conventions and new Legislatures; nor
even in the election of Senators and Re-
presenatatives to Congress. It practi
cally lies in the actually refilling of the
vacant chairs in Congress. When Sena
tors and Repsentatives from the South
ern States shall come to the National
Capitol with legal and true titles to the
deserted seats, and shall be admitted to
them, then, and not until then, will the
old relations of the Southern States to
the Union be practically restored. There
fore it behooves these States to see well
to it that their new Senators and Repre-
setatives come with such titles.”
An Editor Dead.
Janies A. Dix, Esq., editor of the Boston
Journal, died recently in the West, where he
had gone to recover his health, threatened by
the insidious approaches of consumption. Mr.
Dix had been twenty-nine years engaged in
the Journal office. That paper, in noticing his
decease at 43 years of age, says : “When about
fourteen years of age, he entered the Journal
office as an apprentice, and became a rapid
and skillful compositor. Ho then succeeded his
father as ship news collector, and for several
years filled that position with marked ability
and success. Ho was subsequently advanced
to the position of assistant editor, and in 1854
Mr. Dix became the editor, and has held that
position until the day ot his death. His writ
ings were marked with singular perspicuity,
close adherence to the subject in hand, sound
reasoning and well balanced judgment. He
wasted no words, and had no patience with
the extravagance and affected smartness which
sometimes disfigure modern journalism. He
bore all classes of readers in mind, and direct
ed his editorial efforts for the benefit of each
with rare discretion and success.” The Boston
Transcript says of him
“To all who knew Mr. Dix personally, there
was something inexpressibly attractive in the
blended modesty and decision of his character,
in the qniet self reliance of bis bearing, in the
thorough integrity of bis mind and disposition
His breWren of the press owe it to his mem
ory that a man so honorable, so just, so re
gardful of the feelings of others, so large and
generous in his judgments, of such nnmistake-
able vigor of mind and solidity of acquire
ments, of such conscientious devotion to the
performance of important public duties, should
not be allowed to pass away without the most
emphatic testimony to his talents'add vfrtoes.”
[Phila. Ledger.
In the death of Mr. James A. Dix, the
newspaper world loses one of its bright
est and most useful ornaments. Those
of the fraternity who have enjoyed an
acquaintance ^rith the deceased could
not fail to have been impressed with
the honesty of his motives and the sterl
ing worth of his character. Though in
dependent in his writings on all sub
jects, they were not, marked | with that
vein of egotism which too of^n mark
the editorial columns of the press. In
politics Mr. Dix was a Conservative Re
publican, and to his ready and
powerful pen may be atttributed
much of the unity that hn^ for years per
vaded the councils of that party in New
England. The loss of such an upright
man will be severely felt throughout New
England, where the Boston Journal ex
erted a powerful political influence in all
the national and local
pendent to prostitute his press for syco
phantic fame. Society has lost one of
its most valuable members, the press a
shining light, and the jieople an able ex
ponent, in the death of James A. Dix,
Esq. To the afflicted family we tender
our deepest sympathies in these their
hours of sore distress.
Dissolution of the Georgia La^d
and Emigration Company-
Why the Scheme Was Abandoned.
We were favored on Saturday with a
pleasant call from Judge R. T. Gibson, a
gentleman whose reputation for integri
ty aud ability, is too well-known in Geor
gia to require any commendation at our
bands. Judge Gibson, as many of our
readers are aware, has been deeply in
terested in the success of the Georgia
Land and Emigration Company, the ob
jects of which have been fully set forth
in the prospectus of the Company, pub
lished for several weeks in the columns
of the Republican. Mr. John W. Magill,
one of the committee, recently went
North for the purpose of completing
such arrangements as were necessary for
the furtherance of this most laudable en
terprise. Mr. Gibson informs us that
the labors and aims of the Georgia Emi
gration and Land Company have been
entirely superceded by the incorporation
of an extensive and well erganized Com
pany in New York, called the “Ameri
can Emigration Company,” which has
been “‘Chartered for the Purpose of Pro
curing and Assisting Emigrants from
Foreign Countries to Settle in the United
States,” with an authorized capital of
$1,000,000.
So complete and thorough are the
plans of the American Emigration Com
pany, that Judge Gibson states that the
Committee of the Georgia Company
have decided, in view of their not yet
having obtained a charter, aad the pos
sibility of considerable delay in obtain
ing the requisite amount of funds, to
cease all further efforts for the prosecu
tion of their scheme. The American
Company’s plans will render the estab
lishing of State Companies superfluous,
inasmuch as they propose to supply every
State with laborers and artizans of every
kind at tlie shortest notice.
We have before us a well printed
pamphlet of some sixty pages, in which
are clearly explained the objects of the
American Company, their plans, modus
operandi of securing enterprising emi
grants, &c. The Company have agencies
established in Liverpool, Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark, Gothenburg, Germany,
Hamburg, France, Belgium and Switzer
land, where they have special correspon
dents to aid them in carrying out their
feasible undertaking.
Lack of space prevents our alluding to
this important labor movement, upon
the speedy success of which depend the
vital interests of our State and the
future industrial prosperity of our
people, but we shall refer to the
subject at greater length hereafter
An Era in the History of Transporta
tion.
The first shipment of flour, by rail, that
ever came through from Chicago without break
ing bulk, was received yesterday _by Messrs.
Hills & Brother of this city.
This Hour was shipped by Messrs. Leonard
Bros. & Jennisou, of Chicago, on the 4th day
of this mouth, by tho “lied Line” via Michi
gan Southern, New York Central, Western
and Worcester railroads—arriving here in five
days’ time; ordinarily it would require from
twenty to thirty days, and oftentimes even
longer.
This deservedly named “fast line” is destined
to create a great revolution in the freighting of
merchandize between the Great West and the
East. Already there have been put npon the
route some four hundred cars, and there is
stiU demand for a greater number, and it is the
intention of the companies, as fast as circum
stances may warrant their doing so, to increase
their capacity to three thousand cars.

SAVANNAH
WIWLHPIM®.
In view of the great political changes
that hare been wrought throughout our
land daring the last four years, the events
of the war having swept away the great
element of antagonism which formerly
existed between the two sections, we
have resolved to send forth our sheet
under a new title. In adopting the new
name, which we trust will meet with the
approval of our readers, we are actuated
by a desire to obliterate all traces of
sectionalism, and our future aim will be
to publish a paper which can be read
with pleasure and profit at every fireside ;
in the savannahs of the South and the
icy regions of the North. Oar intention
is to make the Savannah National Repub
lican a cosmopolitan newspaper. The
generous support so kindly extended to
us by all classes of our citizens, as well
as by our Northern and Western well
wishers, shall bejreeiprocated by renewed
exertions on our part to render the Sa-
rannah National Republican a welcome
visitor to the family circle, the counting
room and the workshop.
We have identified our interests with
those of Savannah, and while we may
politically differ and oppose some of onr
best and warmest personal friends, we
shall strive to keep our columns undefiled
from the Billingsgate slang that frequent
ly marked the political discussions of the
press. Our patrons may rest assured
that we shall in the future as in the past,
continue to lend our aid to the advocacy
of all jnst and humane enterprises, and
whatever influence we possess, shall al
ways be used in encouraging the true in
terests of Savannah, Georgia aud the
great American sisterhood of States. We
devote the columns of the Savannah Na
tional Repuldicai. Pro Bono Publico.
Our advertising friends North and our
exchanges will do us a great personal fa
vor by noticing the change of title, and
sending in future all communications to
“The Savannah National Republican."

Cotton Prospects in Texas.
The Galveston Civilian ol the 23d ult., says
the accounts from the cotton regions of Texas
continue unfavorable. To say mthing ot the
abatement of labor, the rains and the worm have
wrought such injury as renders it certain that
not more than half a crop will be gathered from
the ground planted. Many estimate the amou nt
at much less. The weather is now rainy and un
