Dent vote at all on tlio subject “of To the White Reehawles and While l*a» borers ol Atlanta, nnd the 8(th Senator rial Dinner. In yesterday’* issue we oilcred tome remarks as to the effects of the Radical programme upon property. To-day we shall state it* effects upon !obo,\ By labor we mean iffitto labor, and in this term we include principally mechanics and day laborers. We proved beyond controversy that the reconstruction to ensue from the ap proaching packed convention*, would run llie price of property down to merely nominal fig ures. lu this we were, and are sustained by the intelligent aud impartial journals of the North. The effect upon the value of mechanical nnd other labor will bo correspondingly disastrous.— If no other consideration waa involved, the sim ple reduction of the value of property would re duce the value of labor. It needs no argument to establish this truth, which the mechanic and laboring man will readily appreciate and realize. Hut there are other considerations, which, con nected with the subject, wilt conspire to the farther reduction of the value oi labor, even down to the starving point, and to where distress and misery are certain. It is the great and fear ful increase ot competition, from colored mechan ics and laborers, which the new system will in troduce, and make perminent. Heretofore, the masses ot negroes were engaged in agriculture, and resided in the country. Emancipation has had the effect to divert every negro possible from agriculture and the country, lo our citiea and towns, there to labor as mechanic* or day labor ers, and are thus brought in direct competition with white men. This iuflux will increase year ly, so that shortly all our citiea and towns will have a majority of negro voters. Thia majority will elect their own councilmen, and other officers who will shape the ordinances ot the city so as to favor the colored laborers. W bite men who have capital, will be compelled in self- defense to employ freedmen, as they and their allies have the taxing and other legi»lative pow ers, which they will so wield as to require obe dience to their wishes. The very increase of ueirroes in our cities and towns, ot itself, with out legislation in their behalf, will put down the value of labor. But when we reflect, that they will be the privileged and exclusive claaa, and are made ao by the fundamental law, there is no telling the mere pittance lor which the white man will have to work, and the degradation to which he will be reduced. The conferring upon treed meu of suffrage, and the privilege to fit on juriea will produce a yet greater iucentive'to move to, and congregate in our citie*, towns, and village*, ao that localities not already in their power can easily be made so or where the number* are not aufficlently pre. ; ionderating, that defect can be remedied with dispatch and certainty. The negro, from const! tutiou und habit, can subsist on much less than tire white man. But few negro men compara tively have families, and those many of them do not support, either because they do not or cwunot understand their responsibility in this re gard, or because the women and children by la- '.or support them*elves, and therefore are sell- sustaining. By reason of these thing* the value of negro labor will range much lower than that of the while*. The Southern white mechanic and laborer will not have the same privilege as the North ci n. Indeed he will be oppressed and degraded in contrast. In the non-slave-bolding States, it is a well sailed custom, which *11 will admit, that the negro as a general rule la only allowed to perform such labor as the white man will not. In these States it will be exactly reversed, for it will come to this it negro supremacy ia fastened upon the country—that the white laborer can only perforin what thp negro will not. There is also in this connection a social prob lem ol a very alarming nature, to be solved. It is a political truth that the privileged class rules tbo country, and give shape alfd fashion to so ciety. It is lolly to expect this claas to act as tervnnte for, and to submit to dictation from the proscribed f.rnl powerless class. Tbe first to feel the effects ol negro supremacy will be the poor white men, and all poor men are laborers In some manner. The more prosperous negro will look down upon and insult tlio less prosperous white. His political superiority being eslab li-tbed, lio will soon move for Ids social equality and from thence to his social superiori- tii. Be will begin by presuming to a scat at the poor white man’s fireside, and from this the jumpered and perhaps rich negro will aspire to the hand of tlio jioor man’s daughter. At the beginning wo look for much miscegenation be t .veen the low and degraded while women and t heir negro associates. To such a atate of degra dation as the whites of the South, and especially the poor whites, whether laborers or not, will lie reduced when governed by negroes and their al lies, no laoguagu can picture The white men of the North buviug learned from lire stale of tire registration in the South, tiiat Mir state ol things ,uuit come If not arrested, are apjtalUd at It, and have begun n reaction, which will end in a re peal of tlio Reconstruction acta, •‘so-called," If we will only hold out a little longer.

There is, then, simply a difference of opinion lietween us as to the con struction of the Military bills upon a tingle point. We might with propriety dismiss the subject, for there is no judicial arbiter to determine between It all depends u|)on tbe decision oi Gcucrul Pope, and he is not bound by the rules ol law any farther than they may suit “his conveni ence." We ore sincere in our construction, and arc williug to concede to “Common Sense,” sin cerity in his. It we or he should prove the vic tor iu the discussiou, it would briug us no nearer the object to be attained, aud that is the purjiosr oi the District Commander in the premises. Therefore, “Common Sense" will excuse us for not answering in extenso, his labored production to prove what no one denies, to-wit; that the word used is “shall," and the way tospell shall, is S-H-A-L-L. We are ol the opinion that "Common Sense’’ is either no lawyer, or he lays aside his learning, and argues the question broadcast, to suit his pur poses. Every well informed lawyer knows that the word shall, iu a law, is not mandatory, unless so expressly declared, or inevitable from the connection and the subject-matter. The word “shall," in section 8rt, is uot expressly de clared to be mandatory. The subject-matter is an election to be held, which is always accord ing to one’s own and free volition. At that elec tion, there is a convention lo be voted for or against, according to the choice of the voter. There are also divers candidates to be voted for and in this district there are fourteen, and that is also according to the volition of the voter. There are seven to be selected, and the voter may vote for one or all, or any number of them as he pleases. He may vote the whole ticket, beginning with Convention and ending with the last of the sev en candidates, or lie may split bis vote upon all tbe questions to suit his taste. He may if he secs proper, vote an open ticket, or vote a closed tick et. He may vote a piece oi paper with nothing on it, which will be “a blank." It is not pre tended that General Pope will compel every man to exhibit his ticket to the Superintendents that they may reject his vote or not in proper form. A Conservative may, ii be chooses, vote Johnson’s last proclamation ot amnesty, or a Radical may vote tbe subscription to the Lin coln monument in Atlanta, or the editor oi the Era may gratify his fancy and vote for General Grant, ior fear he may ucver get another chance. It is the effect of these votes we arc considering. II in Counties the ballots, silent ns lo Conven tion, elect anti radical delegates, Ihen let Gener al Pope take tlio rcBjionsibility to declare their adversaries, who arc in the minority, elected.— Do you think he will do so, “Common Sense?" We do not, and it lie docs, we do not care. Wc are obliged to do as lie says, any how, if General Grant approves. lie ran hut declare them not votes for any purpose, lor they certaiuly do not contain the words—"for a Convention," or “against a Convention," und the law says, ac cording to "Common Sense,’ that one of these two jib uses shall he on every ticket. If General Pope declares them nullities, then the law steps in to our reliel, which says, “such Convention shall not be held unless a majority ol all such registered voters shall /tare voted on the QUES TION of holding such a ContentionWe then certainly get the licnelH ot Ihe count “aguiust a Convention," and if the Convention does not receive “a majority of such registered voters," we have succeeded in one of our methods of de fence against negro domination. II a majority ol such voters go “for a Convention," then we are no worse off than wc would be II Gen. Pope “*halt’ rule out our elected delegates. Going in to the election witli 0.1 white delegates und 104 black delegates wc do nut expect the lew title men we may get elected to stem tlio torrent of radical aud uegro rule. Gor main fight now, candidly, in view ol the Northern elections, is to defeat the Contention, liuder the disfranchise ments of the Inw and the packed cards which General Pope lias dealt we canuot hojie to elect a majority of white men. We shall sirlvo hard lo elect all we can, that they limy lie there to do all they |tossibly can, nnd if nothing more to protest in the uuuiu ol Liberty, Virtue, and Humanity, against the outrage. But there is no telling what puneverauee, industry, and a good cause, may accomplish, and we may even over 1 come all the uImIucIc* in our path, and elect a majority of Conservative*, (for candidates are cuudtdalea from necessity lor a convention they desire defeated. It General Pojni will Uke ail vantage ol men thus circumstanced lo declare t-ion to plucu himself upon the record os favoring the measure ot reconstruction." It is true that Judge Irwin declares hiinsell in lavor of a Con vention, hut wc see nothing In ids address, fa voring reconstruction under the Sherman-Shella- barger bills and the radical programme. His language is expressive only of an ardent "desire" for “ a restoration ol the Southern States to their |ilaces in the Union, uruler the Constitution and government of the United States "—a Consti tution glaringly violated by the Sherniun-Shclla- barger bills. There Is as wide a difference be tween reconstruction under these bills, and resto ration of the Southern Slates, under the Consti tution, as there is between the darkness of night, and the light of day. Judge Irwin is no candidate, aud wu do uot believe lie would take a seat in the Convention if he were elected upou that ticket—tlio ticket which the Opinion supports. [eouatnucaiED.] Hon.

Chief Justice Chase delivered a decision iu this city n day or two since, which, in my opinion, will operate very much to the prejudice ot the minor blacks in this State. Elizabeth Turner, (colored) under the laws of Maryland, had been iHjitnd to serve an apprenticeship fora term of years. Dissatisfied with the contract, suit is in stituted for its resciution, and the Chief Justice decides that, under the Civil Rights bill, "color ed persons, equally with white persons, are citi zens of the United States," and that no law of Maryland shall hind them to the servitude ol a previous contract. From the speech of Mr. Latrohe, lo which al lusion was made in a former (communication, on the laying of the corner-stone ot the new Ci ty Hall, I gather some historical reminiscences in regard to the first settlement of Bul.imore.— In 1002, during the reign ot Charles the Second ol England, Cecelius Calvert, Lord Baltimore, was Lord Proprietary oi Marylaud, nnd Philip Calvert was Governor of the Province, lu 1720 a towu government was organized. In 1729 the Legislature granted a charter lor n town on tTTe north side of the Patapscn, in Baltimore County, and for laying out sixty acres of land, then the jiroperty of Charles Carrol. Such was the beginning of Baltimore. Having attained a steady growth it now boasts a population of more than three hundred thousand. The Maryland Institute Fair continues to at tract crowds day and night. It will remain open to visitors for several weeks. Baltimore is much more largely engaged In manufacturing than one would suppose. In the line of agricultural Im plements, the Southern planter mnv find every thing here he needs. 1 must not omit, in this my closing communi cation from Baltimore, to make mention of the “Mallby House." Its gentlemanly proprietor, Mr. A. B. Miller, with his never changing- cheerful face, renders everybody comfortable and happy around him, whilst his Folstafflau pro portions testify the substantial and the dclicite repasts with which be daily provides them. His affable and polite clerks are always at their posts ready to serve the guests. With one accord the Democracy of the North will second tbe ndvice of the Intelligencer to tiie pcojde ot Georgia as to a negative vote on the Convention question. Let the niggers nnd Radicals vote as they please and act as they please, for the sentence, “thou bust been weighed in the scale and found wanting," has already been pronounced against them. Tiiey may revel in |>owcr tor a time longer but their politi cal days aro numbered, and the last will be lull ot trouble to them. The theaters and other places of public amuse ment are all in lull bfoat. The Black Crook, about which the New Yorkers have been crazy more than a year, judging from its extraordinary success in that city, is soon to be brought out at tiie Front street theater in this city. The scenery of the Black Crook is grand beyond description. The morality of tiie play is questionable—such exhibitions of fiesh and bjooil, in their semi nudity only tend to gratify and excite tiie baser passions. The closiug scene is sublime aud beautiful. It should be the alpha and omega of the piny. Yesterday being Sunday, in the morning I at tended Christ's Church, ot which Henry A. Wise, Jr. is rector. Prejudging tiie character of ids talent by that oi his luther, 1 anticipated a discourse teeming witli brilliant metaphors, bursting forth like a mountain torrent in gushes of impassioned eloquence. In this I was dis- ajipointcd. The prominent feature ol his mind is logical. He reasons witli tiie clearness of a philosopher, while his argument is forciblo and to the point. His words are selected with pre cision, nnd his sentences rythmical in their flow, lu person lie is t ill and slender, about six leel in height, with a face and torehead strong ly indicative oi the intellectual. His hair is light brown, very short nnd parted in front, witii a light innitstacho and side and front whiskers. At night I attended tlio Presbyterian Church ot which Rev. Dr. Leyburn is tlio pastor. Dr. Leybern makes little pretense lor one ot hi* abilities. His force consists in tiie clearness witli which lie presents ids pro|iositions.

It is due, sir, to the colored pxople of this district, who compose a very large proportion of the voting population, that they know your sentiment in relation to this interrogation! They are scrupulous oi their rights, especially as Ohio lias already spoken out, and they will not risk any man who is at tempting to dodge the issue. Do you favor negro suffrage, negro jurors, anil negroes holding office .* Answer. To Ihe White Voter* ol the 3Sth Senato* rial District, Composed ot the Counties of Clayton, Cobb, and Fallon, The undersigned beg leave to state that at a public convention ot this Senatorial District, they were unanimously notniuated as candidates to represent tiie county of Fulton in the Conven tion of the State, ordered by an act ot Congress. The act of Congress ordering and authorizing the holding of such a Convention, is well known as the Slicrman-Sliellabarger act, and supple ments. These acts of a Radical Congress, after disfranchising nt least thirty thousand ol tile most intelligenl.and respectable citizeus oi Georgia, and enfranchising ninety-three thousand ignorant negroes, permit voters to vote for or against a Convention, and at the same time vote for delegates to a Convention, should it be held. Tiie undersigned believe that the military au thorities are determined, at all hazards, to hold such a Convention. Therefore, believing Bitch a Convention, wheu assembled, will be an Ille gal assemblage, called; without any warrant or authority known lo the fundamental law of the Federal Uuion, or oi the Commonwealth of Georgia, and fraught with great evil to every interest oi tiie State, we shall oppose iu every legitimate way the meeting of a Con vention to change the Constitution of Geor gia. But if such a Convention is held, the un dersigned beg leave to Gate most distinctly and emphatically, should they be elected to repre- **ent in jiart lids Senatorial District, they will voto against any and all schemes to Radicalise the Constitution of Georgia. Furthermore, we distinctly avow, that we shall oppose to the bit ter eud negro equality and negro suffrage, in eve ry conceivable phase. And furthermore, under no circumstances will we ever vote to mHko the Sberman-Shellabarger act and Supplements a part ot the Constitution of Georgia. And against the numerous schemes to plunder tiie people by onerous taxation, such a* raising millious for a negro school-fund; to pay "loyal men" for property destroyed; to bul'd Lincoln monu ments, &c, we are unalterably opposed, aud will never sanction by our votes. In plain terms, it elected to the Convention, we shall oppose all Radical changes, and will exert ourselves to keep tilings as they are at pruseut, under the be lief that a sense ot Justice on the part of the Northern masses will soon relieve our people of Ihe Radical despotism which is now working their destruction. Haviug defined, lu unmistakable terms, our position, we charge that the ticket, supported by tbo New Era and tiie Opinion, of tills county, are Radicals of iho deepest dye. We charge, furthermore, that said ticket was nominated in secret caucus in a so called loyal league." _ Tuat said ticket is In favor of negro equality, and of negro suffrage, and if elected, will con sent to make the Sberman-Shellabarger act and supplement* a part of the Constitution of Geor gia—to all of which we are unalterably opposed. It we misrepresent the opposing ticket, let the gentlemen composing it define their positions. Believing that we occupy the true Conservative ground, we appeal to all true white voters of this Senatorial District to give us a hearty support, aud, above all things, we call upon the white vo ters of Fulton county to aid us in wiping out the odium inflicted upon the city of Atlanta in the recent donation of land for a Lincoln monument.
