THE GREAT WANT OF TENEMENTS IN NEW YORK CITY The following is an extract iiom a letter ot our New York correspondent, dated May 25th : <• the great want of tenements in the city is the city’s greatest evil, and what is worse it is a growing evil. You might almost say there are not half enough tenements in the city. People are driven to the suburbs—to Brooklyn and its suburbs—to Hoboken—Jersey City and all through that part, of Jersey Slate which is accessible with from one to two hours ride. And yet New York, its upper part, is filled with vacant lots. Many a man, with a small family is obliged to go into those ten ement bouses wiricb, apart from dangers from accidents, are threatened with diseases and filled with the annoyances proceeding l‘r»m the congregation, beneath one roof of Ironr sixty to one hundred families. A gleam of relief has appeared however, by a distin guished humanitarian of meaus, who proposes to erect about one hundred tenements, .which he will so construct as to put each one In the possession of any man of moderate means. His plan is to put sixteen houses on eight lots, each heuse to be but one story and a half high, twenty feet front by forty feet deep. The eight lots of 25 feet front and JOO jfeet deep, each will give ten bouses ot twenty feet front each. Then there will be three houses on each side of the square csf twenty leet front each also. AH the houses will be forty feet deep. In the rear, between tbe wings of the block will be an open space 120 by 60 feet, which will be planted with shade trees, grassed and laid out iu walks, open to all Hk? oooupauts. Each bouse will have seven rooms—all on one floor —gas and water and a cellar for fuel, vegetables etc. Tne best part of the plan is that a man will have a house to himself for the moderate reu t of $250 per annum.

IMPORTANT &SSOX.Wf XOJNTB. VYDREW JJHYSDY ENDORSED B¥ THE ASSEMBLY. Sympathizers with Secession not to be Supported Lor Oilier. A Military Governor for Georgia Asked For. AddresscN by Col. A. Ntone and otliei’M. [SPECIALLY BEPORTED FOB THE HAV ANN AU DAILY HERALD, j A public? meeting of the “loyal residents of Savannah, who endorse the policy' of the President of the United States, as indicated by his past history," was held last evening at the Georgia Union Club Hall, over the Ex press office, “to consider such measures in harmony with the present Administration as will conduce to the welfare of the State. The Attendadce. The.house was well filled with loyal men of all classes. The attendance was mostly of civiilians. including many natives of Savan nah, and a spriukling of officers and soldiers. The Halt of the Club was decorated with the stars and stripes, fes tooned upon the wall in the rear of the speaker and looped with black crape. The hall which wa9 last evening thrown open for a public meeting for the first time is ad mirably adapted to that purpose, and has recently been fitted up with seats and a tine platform for speeches, by the club. Organization. Col. Wm. H. Stark, President of the Geor gia Union Club, called the meeting to order, and. on motion of Col. A. L. Stone, he was chosen to preside. Messrs. L. A. Dodge and Israel R. Sealy were appointed Secretaries by the Chair. Committee on Resolutions. The foilowiug were appointed a Commit tee to draft resolutions: L. S. Bendett, Mar tin Duggan, E. S. Riddell, Mr. Padelford, Mr. Brigham, Mr. Wadleigli, J. G. Mills. The Resolutions. The committee reported the following: Resolved, That we cordially approve of the policy of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, as indicated by his past his tory and more reeeutly in his address to the Indiana delegation, and pledge to the Ad ministration our cordial united support and bo-operation. Resolved, That we will henceforth support such men only for office as shall satisfy us that they have no sympathy with secession, and will pledge themselves to abide by and sustain all acts passed by the Congress of the United States. Resolved, That iu view of the present dis organized and unsettled condition of affairs iu this State we believe a Military Governor is a‘necessity until the power of the enemies of tbe|Uniied States Government shall have been so crippled as to cease to be dangerous, aed the ballot-box so guarded as shall ever prevert the recurrence of the terrible scenes from which we have been delivered by tiie power of the United States Government. Mr. C. K. Osgood" moved the adoption of the resolut ions. Address of Col. A. L. 3toue. Col. A- L Stone was called for to apeak on the motion for the adoption of the resolu tions. He wa3 received wit!) applause. He made an eloquent allusion to the stars and stripes, his flag, the ffsg of all loyal people, displayed for the first time publicly in that hall for a long time, and then, with some comments, read extracts from President Johnson’s address to the Indiana delegations as exhibiting his policy. He then spoke as iol lows Over four years of dark desolating war have spread over our land—not one blight spot can be remembered, one long dark night of ri}in, aud every fireside has Its vacant chair, the ioved ones are gone, our fair lands dotted "over with new made graves, and weeping mothers, yyiyes fpj<] sisters go about on tbe streets in the garb of sqrrnw—truly the whole land mournetli. But', thank Gpd the war is over, and new duties and anew life await us—the cruel wounds of war must be healed—the bitterness that has taken root in the heart must be extricated—passion must lie laid aside and calm, deliberate rea son lake its place. Solemn and important duties devolve upon the people ot the South. It is further to de termine whether free Government shall be thr them and for tlieir children, or whether the strong urw of military power shall grind a people that refuse yield willing, hearty aud cheerful obedience to just 4wg tpunane ly administered—whether we will goyern ourselves, or refusing that, be ruled with the strong baud, 1 have watched this revolution from the beginning and Us authors aud abet tors. It commenced before the election of | Abraham Lincoln. John C. Calhoun sowed the foul seed, and | we, at this day have gathered the terrible ; harvest. Arid the memory of that ‘intellec tually great man will be remembered only in sorrow that he ever lived. Ruin and Blood and a desolated country are the land marks of his memory. His disdiples.have been the more immediate teachers ot tbe people—ac tuated by an unholy ambition for place*and power they taught the people lies, aod they have been scourged wit h thorns. Tell me not that the acts of Secession were the uprising of . she people against tyrunuy and oppression to I justice und wrong; tell me not it was the elec tion of Abraham Lincoln that kindled the tires of of revolution in the South; no, no, for years the “tire eaters” in the South had seen the sun of tlieir power declining, had begun to realize the fact that they could not always control the dealings of the nation in their I own peculiar way, they could have justice but with that they were not gut - I ished, and as they could rule supreme no , longer, determined on the destruction of the 1 Government of their fathers, and to erect on its ruins an aristocracy that they could rule or ruin as their own will might dictate- That beiug tlieir determination long before the Democratic Convention in the city of Charleston, S. C. in 1860. we find on inqui ring into the secret records of those traitors, who had resolved upon the destruction of the Government, that they were in secret caucus in the city of Charleston with the press bought in their interest not to publish tlieir arrival in the city, more than once prior to the Democratic Convention of 1860. There was Wiu. H. Young, Robert Toombs, Barnwell Rbett, Howell Cobb, Wig full, Benjamin. Thomas R. R. Cobb, and oth er traitors in secret caucus plotting treason, devising ways and means to break up the Convention, secure the nomination of what they' called an Abolitionist by the North, and then with a lie upon tlieir lips, and deception in their hearts go home and, by appeals to the passions and prejudi ces of the people, tire their heads for revo lution. In this Convention the re marks of Wm. L. Yancey to T Knox Wal ker, of Tennessee, both delegates to that Convention, is significant—Mr- Walker of fered tu withdraw the name of Mr. Douglas if the Convention would adapt tlie princi ples of the Cincinnati platform and support any man they might nominate. Mr. Yan cey' replied : “ Any position acceptable to Mr. Douglas or his friends is in itself unac ceptable to us. J mean twice I have been before my constituency' advoca ting it, and been defeated, H>ut now''l shall succeed and we will drag out all who will not go with us.” That threat proved too true, South Carolina weut out, Georgia and other States were dragged out, and the result is belore us in cities 'destroyed, and a people impoverished, and who but your selves are responsible for that act. Has not God in his Providence been dealing justly with you—yea, even mercifully, iu comparison with the crime? Wliat right had the Federal Government evertleniecl you ? Wh it claim founded in justice had ever been withheld—wliat Gov ernmental act of usurpation ever committed ? —not one can you to-day point to—and the confession is forced home that we alone have been to blame—and those who have inaugu rated the bloody' drama, those wiio advocat ed and signed the hateful ordinance of Se cession, will be held responsible iu all coming time for the fearful consequence of that ill-advised act, and all those wno have since, by' their counsel, the purse and the sword, voluntarily given aid and comfort to the enemies of the Government, shall ever hereafter merit the sebrn aud contempt of an outraged people. Those editors whose pens dipped in gali, those preachers and politicians whose lips inspired with lies, have made a people mad, vindictive aud cruel, will meet a fear ful retribution in blasted hopes and iu the gnawing 9 of a .guilty conscience. . It is those who have educated the people in hatred and a desire for revenge; and, though unharmed, they will cry out like Cain, that tlieir punishment is greater than they can bear. Think, O think, my friends, ot the hundreds of thousands of graves that are filled with the victims of this unholy ambitition! Think, O think, of the thou sands of the starved skeletons in the pen of Andersonviile—whose long fingers to-day are pointing upwards frt>m those nameless graves and crying for vengeance on the authors of their suffering and death! Think, O, think of the countless number of widows andxH'pbaas whose cries go up all over this land and whose tears speak a sorrow their lips cannot utter—think of these things and forget your bitterness, and let a great, magnanimous nation welcome you back to its protection, its privileges and its benefits. Confess your sins to the nation ; confess them to each other; confess them to your God, and rejoice that the nation you would have destroyed is saved—and lei there be no longer in your hearts any North or any South, East or West* but one united people—free, prosperous and happy. The war has wrought great changes, social ly and politically, aud instead of complaining, we should quit ourselves like men, and set about with a will to adapt ourselves to the new and changed condition of things—we should not wait for others to do it lor us, but do it for ourselves. I doubt if there is a per sqn in the hearing of my voice that has not at heart at some time wished the institution of slavery was opt of the way. It was neycr considered a Diviue Institution until within a few years, and that heresy is now explod ed, by Divinity itself, fqr God assuredly takes care of his own, and He bps let the Slaves go. It has been a political institution, but it was tor Alexander H. Stephens to discover in it the proper elements lor the corner stone of a Southern Conlederacy—and I think he was a little mistaken, for the stone is broken, aud the Confederacy has tumbled down, and has socially and politically buried archi tects in its ruins. Slavery is dead; Secession killed it. The Providence of God made its peculiar guardians the instruments of its own destruction. And what is the use of burrow ing under |ts pld fogsjl remains iu a vain en deavor to resurrect It into a short sickly life? —rather bury it out of 9ight of raeni and let its watchers and nurses get well as soon as possible. A little free and w’holesome exer cise will soon render them convalescent and change their mourning into gladness. I lielieve this country was destined by God for the white man, and that it is our mission to develope its vast resources—Agricultural and Mineral, from the Atlantic tojtne Pacitic frorn the North Pole to the Equator, bound, ed by no latitude or longitude but one vast poultry of freemen, with one government, pne flag; oye sacs tjjis war has developed that we shall not forget and that qtifef nations do well to remember, that under one flag \yc can whip the combined powers of the world. I am not troubled about the negro. I am wil ling he should enjoy all tlie liberty aud free dom he is capable of, nnd the government will give him, and if they make men of them selves they shall be treated like men; but if I bad tlie disposition of them just now, I would raise aii army of three or lour hundred thousand men, clothe them in Uuited States blue, with United States muskets in their hands, knapsacks on tlieir backs, four days rations in tlieir haversacks, put them under the command of General Sherman, face them towards Mexico with instructions to enforce the Monroe Doctrine, and you would see Maximilian and Johnny Frenchman skednd- Jing worse than the chivalry of South Caroli na dirt 4 few days ago. But why \yaste vyorijs aipj fret about the black men, the sjiipe Proyidonce that made them free, will take care of them. Let us go to work for ourselves aud as soon as possible udjust the niachineiy of the government to the changed condition of things. It is sadly out ot order; it has been running the last four years ofl the track, and must be engi neered back? we have enough to do and must do it with a will. Not only has this govern ment to be put iu order, but our Internal Im provements are all to be rebuilt, and increased in ten fold proportion. We have enough to do without the negro, and finding fault with the consequences of Secession, Repent of the inglorious acts, aud keep repenting, and do works meet for- repeutance. God knows that sins enough have been committed in tlie inauguration and prosecution of this unholy strife, to keep the actors in tlie bloody drama on their Knees lor the balance of their lives. They can repent, but never atone for the great evil they have inflicted upon tlie na tion. It lias been one long dark catalague ot crime from tlie beginning to the end, cul minating in the cowardly assassination of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation, the most illustrious martyr in the cause of free dom and self Government. A man. great in his goodness, and good in his great ness—tempering justice with mercy to all ill-advised and misguided . All * now denounce the act as unparalleled in the his tory of the world, and cry out out for ven geance on the cowardly 'assassin. And yet he was but a pupil from the school of Se cession, educated and prepared for the act by the guilty authors aud supporters of Treason and Rebellion. Have not tlie press of the Souih without rebuke advertised for the man who would undertake the vile act ofas assinating Abraham Lincoln, Andrew John son and v\ r m. H Seward, falsely asserting that, that act accomplished, peace w’ould fol low? Peace after such an act! Peace to its aiders and abettors! Peace to a people who have advocated, or silently permitted its ad vocates to go iturebuked! There can be no peace to them. It was the last foul deed of treason, the last insult to the National honor, the last sting of the creeping serpents, nurs ed under the shadow' of the Palmetto of South Carolina, and the cries aloud for ven geance ascend to lleaveu through the length and bredth of the land. That voice that spoke forgiveness to re pentant rebels has been hushed in death— those to whom forbearance would Lave been extended and forgiveness secured are per haps among those who conspired bis death. And those feelings of magnanimity and kiud tendencies that had so deep root in the hearts ot the loyal North, that even the wholesale slaughter, exposure aud starvation of North ern soldiers in the prison pens of the South had not wholly destroyed, are now drowned in one universal sentiment of horror at the foul deed that deprived the nation of its cho sen leader, and the South of their best friend. Justice demands punishment, aud men sor rowing cauuot plead her cause or say aught why justice should not be fully satisfied. Whatever man may do, tlie judgment ot Heaven will fall on tue guilty authors of such treason, aud they will find that, though “the mills of God grind slowly, that they grind exceeding small.,’ 1 advocate no vengeance, no revenge. Such a spirit would be unworthy the people of so great a nation. On the contrary, I would exercise the most generous forbearance to ward tlie deceived and deluded masses in the South—dragged into an unwilling support of a cause they despised, but which they had no power to resist, and have yielded a reluc tant obedience to the power that surrounded them. But to those who, with an oath upon their lips to support the Constitution ot the United States—holding offices of profit and trust under that government, con spired to destroy it, that upon its ruins they might build a despotism subject to their will. I have no comparison—forbearance would be criminal on the part of the gov ernment, and an insult to those lives who have so gallantly defended our nation’s hon or and upheld its flag iu a thousand battles, carrying it victoriously from one end of the land to the other until at last it floats trium phantly on the grave of rebellion. The fallen braves of Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Shiloli, Vicksburg, ChieKuinauga and At lanta would rise in judgment against us as a nation if no punishment follows treason. The dead martyrs of Libby and Ander sonville with sepulchral voice disclose the secrets of the prison-house and demand pun ishment of treason. The weeping mothers, widows and sisters of our land, whose hopes lie buried in the graves of these loved ones, demand punishment to traitors—aud a dead President looking down irora tlie spirit Land, says, let justice be done to the authors of all our woe, and a Nation responds •4 «!«•'( f • There are small and big traitors; the small ones doing the dirty work of the big one 9, like village curs bark when their fellows did, and no less culpable than they, such are the ones who have pursued, hunted with dogs, shot and hung, those whose only offence was a fealty or suspected fealty to the old Stars and Stripes. Those who would raise the black flag and exterminate the dals—those who lejoiced at the sufferings of the starving soldiers of the .Union —those, who, if Hell was here and the Yankees there would go to the former in preference to the latter. Such meij are not deceived, but traitors at heart, and are the first to profess conversion when captured by Uncle Sail’s preachers. Just as soon might the d—l be come a saint, and I would have equal con fidence in his conversion. The law has overtaken them and they pro fess penitence, and beg for clemency. But the voice of the thousands of martyrs say, ‘•Justice.” Treason has ceased to be respectable and they always abhorred it—tbey haven’t done anything, no not they—shall all these go unpunished—shall the social and political power of such miscreants be preserved to them? Never. But enough traitors must be left to make J,ret}sbn “respectable again. If traitors at heart—if they hate the Utfiou—if the expe riences of the past are not the desolation that surrounds them—the bleeding hearts of their countrymen, cannot work a change in their hearts, then thru country is no place for them. There is a necessity lor, and there must he, c\ -/W genuine, warnum wisyuj loyalty, not a loyalty enforced by in terest or tear; not the oath of allegiance on the lip3 and a curse in the heart for°tbe gov ernment you rfwear to obey. Events instruct you that you have been wrong, and it is wise and Christian to yield, and time will soften the feelings and weaken the power of old associations, and we may become broilers again. \on have sons slain—you mourn the loss ot loved ones dead; you have suffered and sorely; but your conscience, if not now, will it> the figure tell you, at your own door lies the bjame. You sought to destroy that gov ernment ypur fathers woplil have died to riftVe ' .There " as 110 principle at stake; a pernicious claim to control in your own peculiar way the destiny of the nation, and the government could not permit you to go without committing suicide, aud you and KrJKJr wm ,ive to -j Ol - tbat youdid There is something in indomitable com age, a self-sacrificing heroism even in a hid cause, and the intensity of mis contest ha 3 created a respect for each others bravm whieh will alter a time ripen into friendship that shall last through time, aud though ter’ nble the destruction it is but the inevitable result of the conflict and not irremediable lhe dead cannot be restored to life maimed to health, nor the institution of s'- very resumed. Yet we cau rebuild our cities our towns and villages, our railroads and canals, and in a short time, if the work is en lered upon with determination, our whole state will be so far ahead of what it ever w that we shall hardly recognize it, and in our prosperity the terrible ordeal we have passed. With a soil rich aud productive? a universal wealth undeveloped and iuexhaus table, navigable rivers and a net-work of rail roads, we cau and must be a great and nroi perous State. Cotton has played out but ks a civilian we can make a very good use of him, and I think he will adapt himself to the changed events very readily. A humbu«- king any way, but as a citizen we will make good use ot him in developing the mineral wealth of the State, and I should not wonder it he found his brother Pete Rolimn up in the mountains of Northern Georgia, and if Iso there is no telling how rich eve should be \ ou have worshipped your black gods quite long enough, they nave been to you a curse retarding national progress and individual happiness. I have said this much without addressing myself particularly to the Union men and women of Georgia, aud I thank God that there has been more righteous, than wa9 found in Sodom, at least ten in every city whose hearts have always been right, that have never worshipped the molten calf of seces sion nor bowed the knee to Jeff Dayis, aud when the noise of music and dancing of those idolaters who had made the calf, was heard in the camp, their hearts were sad, and their anger waxed hot; but the Constitution of tlieir country, the flag of their fathers was engraven on the tablets of their hearts and was not broken. No new commandment was necessary for them—they saw that the bear' of the people was set on mischief and ■ that their sin would be visited upon them and that they would be plagued on account of the caif t hey had made. That day has come, your day has come, and you can hardly find a man who will ac knowledge that he ever worshipped the calf or even had a hand in makiug it. The re membrance of the years of longing and suf fering you have endured, may excite a feel ing of revenge, and I need not say it is unjust but it is impolitic, it will injure your power for for good. The Government can and will take care of those who have violated its consti tution and laws. You by years of inter course and community ot interest have a hold upon your fellow citizens for good. You have a power for usefulness, responsible even enviable. You with your hearts aglow, with love of the Union, strengthened by years of trial can do much towards the conquering of prejudice and effecting in spirit of reconciliation a wil lingness to forget tbe past and work togeth er for tbe future in tbe great work of leading back our state into her natural and proper relations to the Federal Government. It is a great and glorious work wherein are to be ignored party prejudice, animosity and hate. Tne nation has been fighting for a great principle, it has triumphed; let it be our privilege as individuals to triumph over hate and a spirit of revenge. Our ship of state has got to be officered and manned anew; her old commander in a reckless attempt te steer ■between the Scyla of State liights and Cliarybdis of secession run her into the breakers of revolution, aud for years she has been flounderiug about the sea, .captain crazy and the officers drunk; but the General Sherman with a crew of seven ty thousand heroes picked her up, and thank God she is saved, but sadly out of order—a mere wreck of what she once was, but she is not a total loss ; and 9he was insured in L ncle Sam's Company,and Andrew Johnson is now President, aud she will soon be put afloat again. But none of her former officers can ever command her more; they can’t be trust ed ; real, uncompromising Union men must be put in command—men that have been faithful among the faithless, with honest, loyal hearts ever true to the Union; men that can keejf their eyes on the “light Uouse”at Washington, and carry the stars and stripes at the mast head. Her old commanders could not be trusted with a scow with a cargo of rebel treasury notes. Shall these men be trusted again ? shall they ever have power for evil ? The answer is, “no more and yet it may be suggested that there are now no recognized leaders in the South, that they have passed away or have been supporting the cause of the re bellion, that there aye no men tQ take their places. This may he'true, but all history teaches that emergencies make men for the times, and that the great men ot the future ax - e among you, perhaps humble and obscure, not suspected of the community or themselves, but true hearts, in _ which with earnest conservative sentiment, they will come forward, command respect and excel the gteat men of the past. Good aud true leaders will not lack when the opportunity presents. God has preserved our* nation and will raise up leaders equal to the emergency. We have had treason in the State, ’ treason m the pulpit, treason among women and of all the traitors in the land, those sancti monious pretpnded servants of God, who in the iivipg Heaven have so devotedly served the d—l are the worst; pretending not to he politicians, they preach treason with doable effect, availing themselves ol the confidence placed in them by the women they first se duced from their love to the Union and ‘■steeled with valor their melting spirits”; by inflammatory remarks disloyal conduct, appeals to their honor, pride and courage, sncceeded in deceiving tire young men of the land into the whirlpool of treason, Those traitors have now a name that will forever be a disgrace to them, and if they can ever find a cavern dark enough, should hide therein their mon strous visages forever. I have no malice against them, uor no love for them. Influence for evil has been great, and they have excited it to the utmost. Ido not believe a loyal person whh the ex ception perhaps qf a few Catholics can be found in the Sopth. They liaye preached treason, talked tieason, prayed treason, and even “bellowed for revenge. ’ I may be se vere upon them, but J do not believe fealty to God can exist in hearts of treason against their country. I can only offer them the
