The Savannah Daily Herald. TI'ESDAY, JH,V 18,1864. EVElli EDITH. HOW CITIZKKS DIAY QUALIFY THEM SELVES TO VOTE The following synopsis of Governor John son's exposition of the course to be pursued by citizens in order to qualify themselves to vote at the election lor delegates to a re-or ganization convention, we find in the Augus ta Constitutionalist. We re-print it at this time, although substantially the same thing has appeared in our own columns, in conse quence of a widely-expressed desire for in formation on this important matter; On the Bth of December, 1863, President Lincoln issued a proclamation commonly know’ll as the Amnesty Proclamation, in which full pardon is promised to all hereto fore engaged in revolt against the United States, on condition of taking and keeping the following oath : “I, , do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect and de fend the Constitution of the United Slates, and the Union of the States thereunder ; and that I will, in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all acts of Cougreas passed during the existing rebellion with reference to slaves, so long and so far as not repealed, modified, or held void by Congress, or by decision of the Supreme Court; aud that I will, in like mauuer, abide by and faithfully support all proclamations of the President made during the existing rebellion having reference to slaves, so long and so far as not modified or declared void by decision of the Supreme Court. So help me God.” v On the 2!>th May, 1855, President Johnson issued a proclamation known as the new Am nesty Proclamation, in which it is declared that, since many persons have failed or ne glected to take advantage of the proffer of pardon made in President Lincoln’s procla mation of December Bth, 1868, by taking the oath*therein set forth, such persons—not of excepted classes—may receive such benefit by taking aud subscribing an oath utjLie ten or aud effect, following, to-wit : “I do solemnly swear or afiirm in presence of Almighty God, that I w ill henceforth faith fully defend the Constitution of the United States aud the Union oi the States thereun der, and that I will in like mauner abide by aud faithfully support all laws and proclama tions w'hich have been made during the ex isting rebellion with reference to the emanci pation of slaves. So help me God.’’ Now it is very generally supposed that those who took the first oath are under no necessity of taking the one just above given, in older to vote at the election for delegates to a Convention w hen such election may be ordered. This is a most fatal error, and Provisional Governor Johusdn very properly strove to impress that all important tact on the minds of his hearers. In the proclama tion appointing that gentleman to the provis ional governorship of this State, and declar ing in what way its re-organization must be proceeded w’itb, it is most explicitly set forth “that iu any election that may be held here atter for choosing delegates to any State Con vention, as aforesaid, uo person shall be qualified as an elector, or shall be eligible as a membeV of such convention, unless he shall have previously takeu aud subscribed the oath of amnesty, as set, forth in the Presi dent s proclamation of May 29th, A. D 1865, aud is a voter qualified as prescribed by the constitution and laws of the State of Georgia, iu force immediately before the 19th df Janu ary, A. D. 1861, the date of the so-called or dinance of secession.” lu a circular,bearing date May 29th, 1865, the' Secretary of State states that this, oath “ntay be taken and subscribed before any commis sioned officer, civil, military or naval, in the service of the United Slates, or any civil or military officer oi a loyal State or Territory a who, by the laws thereof, may be qualified for administering oaths.” Provisional Gov ernor Johnson is understood to be empower ed to appoint Justices of the Peace pro tun., before whom as “civil officers’’ this oath may be taken and a right to vote thereby acquired. This summary oi the steps neces sary to the possession of the elective fran chise, has been giveu in view of the over whelming importance of the subject. Upou it depends, to a very great degree, the civil reorganization of the State of Georgia, and it is the imperative duty of every one who cares for her welfare, to qualify himself as speedily as may be, to take part in that great and crying requirement. To put the matter in a'nutshell, he who would vote for delegates to the Convention must, first, lie, by the terms" of the proclamation of the 29th of May, entitled to take the oath therein set forth, and secondly, must take it. Huviug taken the amnesty oath of President Lincoln, isof no avail whatsoever in this regard. It will shield one from the pains and penalties of treason, but gives no right to vote. Presi dent Johnson’s amnesty oath alone does that, aud once more we urge on every citizen to take it at once. Georgia, in the manly lan guage of the Richmond countv resolutions, needs “the intelligent and unselfish services of net" sous * * * and all should be pre pared to sacrifice personal views aud consid erations on the altar of the public good.” Genera 1 News.

The aid which the President of the United States, in bis Proclamation appoint ing a Provisional Governor for the State of Georgia, has directed the military authorities to gi, e the Governor in his efforts to organ ize a State Government, will be rendered by all officers on duty in this department, to whom application may lie made by the Gov ernor or his duly authorized agents, aud no interference by any person in the military service of the United States with the official acts, orders or efforts of the Provisional Governor will be permitted. “ The military authority should sustain, not assume the functions ot civil authority, except whe%the unsettled state of society requites such as sumption as a last resource, to preserve peace and quiet.” 2d. Strict discipline will be maintained, pillaging and marauding will be severely and promptly punished; private property will not be seized or impressed upon any pretext whatever, nor will the house of any citizen be searched for property uuless the search is ordered upon sworn affidavit, but officers will aid the officers of the Treasury Depart ment in protecting and bringing to market, property, already seized by the Government as formerly claimed by the so-called Confed erate States, or which was included in the surrender of the rebel army, /so citizen will be arrested upon the complaint of auother citizen, unless the accusation, supported by the oath of the complainant, would justify the issuing ot a warrant in time of peace. 3d. All officers of the Department are en joined to abstain from interfering with the business affairs or social relations of citizens; such interference will not be permitted, and officers are especially directed not to obtrude upon families, but to confine themselves in their social intercourse strictly to those who seek or invite their society. But while citi zens are to be protected in all their lawful rights and pursuits by the military, it will be the duty of officers to see that the dignity and authority of the military power ot the Government is maintained and respected.— While enforcing strict discipline, they will be careful to protect the soldier from insult or indignities. 4th. Aid and assistance w ill be rendered by all officers in command of troops w ithin the Department, to the Freedmen’s Bureau; and on the application of the Commissioner, or auv of the Assistant Commissioners of said Bureau for the Department of Georgia, to commanding officers of troops, arrests will be made qn the statement of a commissioned officer ovt*r liis official signature or ou the sw’orn statements of agents who are not com missioned office!s, of persons accused of crimes aud offences against freedmen. All persons arrested on the application of com missioners or agenls of the Freedineu’s Bu reau, will be held in military custody until they can be turned over to the civil authori ties or their cases disposed of by duly au thorized courts. t sth. The aged and decrepjd and helpless women and children, madq. free by the Presi dent’s Proclamation, living in the cabins of their former masters, will not be deprived ot such homes until provision has been made for them by the State or General Government; but this protection will not extend to those able to work, who will not be permitted to remain iu idleness. By command of Maj. Gen. Steedman. S. B. Moe, Brevet Col. & A. A. G. (From the Mucon Journal & Messenger.J The Negro. A great many people are disposed to quar rel with the negro in his new position as freedman. There is no justice in this. To our mind he is but the victim of circum stances. The slave has had very little if any agency in freeing himself. The event was, doubtless, as unexpected to him as to his master; but that he accepts the condition and, without weighing its future responsibil ities, is elated with it, should not excite our ire against him. The negro loves novelty, aud is not amenable to severe censure for in dulging this characteristic upon an oecasiou of so mu "h importance as his own emanci pation from bondage. A great many of them have acted very thoughtlessly iu quitting good homes, and without making any pro vision for the future, to run after a deceptive freedom, or rather a freedom which involves more of personal care and trouble than was ever dreamed of iu their philosophy. But this is no more than we should have ex pected from our knowledge ot the negro character. Being angry with him, will not help either his or our own ease. If his mind is susceptible of logical impressions, surely h were better for us to reason kindly with him, and controvert the specious theories of those who neither understand him as well, nor care as much about his personal happi ness, as do we, who have borne toward him, under different auspices, the most kindly feelings. There is no reason why we should make the uegro think us his enemies, simply be cause he accepts a condition which has been *as much forced upon him as our own has been upon us. The field for honorable em ulation is now open to the negro, aud it should be our care to euqourage and sus tain the good, aud discountenance the evil disposed among them. Upon the question of compensation, we think, if the negro will faithfully discharge his obligations of contract, that his iormer master can afford to give him all that his labor is worth, aud yet he be the gainer, in a pecuniary sense, by the change. It is our business to show him tliat we are willing to employ and treat him kindly so long as he is worthy of em ployment and kind treatment; to convince him that he can win our confidence and re spect by a manly and honest discharge of his duties as a freedman; bpt that, on the other hand, if he neglects those duties, be comes idle and vicious, a reproach to himself and a burthen to others, he will be contemn ed and punished, liis condition now is one of sell-dependence; what he makes is his own, to dispose of to the best advantage. - If by industry and economy he can achieve wealth,he will be justly entitled to enjoy its benefits. VVe have got to employ labor, and it ought to be satisfaction to us to kuow that our former slaves are to be the recipients of all the benefits which may accrue from la bor faithfully discharged, rather than stran gers. There is no reason, then, why the faithful negro should not retain the kind regards of his former master, and receive from him such friendly counsels as will tend to advance hia moral, intellectual and social interests. Bui that the line of distinction between good and evil may be plainly defined, we should stern ly rebuke all tendency to idleness and vag rancy, and mark with displeasure those who by their iniwpuduct bring reproach upon the negro character, and subject the innocent to unjust suspicion VVe believe the negro mind is susceptible of a given amount ot cul tivation —certainly enough to distinguish be tween right aud wrong, aud both as philan thropists" and statesmen, it is the policy of the w'hiles to stimulate this intelligence and direct it tor the best Interests of the State aud the negro himself. While we are no longer permitted to direct him in the capa city of masters, we may influence him as friends And this, we think, is our duty, politically and philantbropicaily. Such a course on our part will also prove that our iuterest in the negro has not been an entirely mercenary one, as rame of our enemies are disposed to chargdJ* For oqi own part, while we had no part in making his fieedom toler able, aud will give him all the aid in our power to do right, but shall nut spare cen sure when he does wrong. - He shall at least huve the benefit of our best wishes for his success as a freedmao, though we think the day will come w’hen he will not those who made him so. (From the New York Tribune.] Reductiou of the Hours of Labor to Eight per Day. It is probable that the great body of skilled laborers in this country produce double the amount per man of the articles conducive to human sustenance and oomfort tbau the la bor of the corresponding class did seventy to ninety years ago. Asa consequence of this, mechanics and artisans dress more ex pensively, fare more generously, have richer furniture aud give their children a better education than their grandfathers did or could ; but is improvement to anl here ? When the effectiveness of labor shall have been once more doubled, shall the workman go on toiling from dawn to dark—at least tor ten hours per day—as hitherto? On the con trary, is it not reasonable and proper to anti cipate and advocate a further curtailment aud limitation of the hours of daily toil, as a natural, legitimate, beneficent consequence of the increased and continually increasing efficiency ot human effort ? The question of late has been widely dis cussed among the Mechanics and Artisans of our seaboard cities, but especially by those of Massachusetts, who were enabled at the last session of their legislature to command its emphatic attention. A Joint Committee W’as appointed to consider the subject, be fore whoin the Eight-Hour advocates ap peared with facts, arguments, documents; and the result was a unanimous report in la vor of the Eight-Hour system. And the fact that Gov. Andrew has appointed, iu obedienefe to a vote of the Legislature, an unpaid aud most influential Commission, composed of Rev. Edward E. Hale, Hon. Charles T. Russell, Hon. Joseph White, Dr. H. I. Bowditch aud F. B. Sanborn, Esq., to pursue the inquiry, collect testimony, and ‘"report the facts and their conclusions to tiie next Legislature, encourage the hope that the truth, whatever it may be developed and established, aud the Eight-Hour System, if it be proyed correct and beneficent, receive legislative indorsement and sanction from that State which, though widely reviled and bated, has nobly won her title to be con sidered second in intelligence and enterprise, in energy and industrial efficiency, to no other iu the Uniou. - For our own part, we have never yet been able to limit our own hours of labor to sixty per week, and should contemplate their re duction to that number as a welcome solace to advancing years aud waning physical en ergies; yet we cannot realize that our work is less arduous or less deserving thau that of mechanics or artisans. But we believe in Progress—iu a better physical as well as in tellectual aud moral condition in the future for the toiling millions than they have en dured in the past; and we see no reason why muscular exertions should be as con tinuous, as exhausting, after as before the stupendous labor-saving inventions and de vices of the present century. We do not be lieAe the Laboring Class can secure more pay by working fewer hours, as they are confi dently assured iu some of the Eight-Hour appeals betore us, for our experience tends entirely in the opposite directiou ; but it is right that they should fairly narticipate in the advantages constantly accruing to the public from the expiration of patents issued fourteen to twenty-eight years ago ; aud it is quite possible that lower w'ages and more frugal living combined with larger opportu nities for reflection and mental improvement, would be hailed by many of them as alike ac ceptable aud advantageous. Inflexible only on one point—that whatever is best for La bor is best tor Capital as well—we call atten tion to the subject of a regulation and further limitation ot the hours of labor, aud will gladly receive any facts or suggestions which seemfiealculaied to shed further light there upon. , Memphis Items.— Major General Smith has revoked the special order suspending the municipal government of Memphis, and ’ placing the city under military provisional control, aud has restored the city to the con trol of the civil authorities.

The Closing of Fohd’s Theatre.—The New York Herald’s Washington correspond ent says: Mr. John T. Ford, whose theatre was closed by order of the War Depaitment just previous to the hour designated tor 'the com mencement of its first performance since the assassination of Air. Lincoln, had a brief in terview with Secretary Stanton this morning, in which the latter informed him that the seizure of the previous night had been made from apprehensions that a riot would occur in the theatre during the progress of the play. The Secretary also informed Mr. Ford that the matter would come up before the Cabinet at its meeting to-day, and that he would be made acquainted this evening with the result of its deliberations. At seven o’clock this evening nothing in reference to thp subject had been received by Mr Ford. .*b The Olden Times Again. —We were pleased to note ou yesterday, the arrival in our city of several wagon loads of cotton from South Carolina We take this as a good omen.— Let the people bring in cotton and articles of produce, that the gates of trade may be thrown wide open again, and things be as they wen.— Constitutionalist, 15th. [From the New York News, 15th.] Httearr Rising Into Religion. The Masons oi Massachusetts have made offer of their hospitality to leading brethren of their ancient Order at the South. ComiDg frpm Massachusetts, too. this tact will rejoice the heart of every true Mason—will show him the secret of the fact that while religions dis appeared—while dynasties were swept away —while empires went down—the lamp that was trimmed in the days of Solomon has con tinued to burn brightly untft to-day. Masonry has in the pastMone good service to religion by keeping alive among men the spirit of its morality. Opinion in these latter (lays had taken the shape very generally of the conclusion that in that respect the Ma sonic system had outljved its uses. The error' of that public judgment was at all times plain to the thinkers who are able to see underly ing the fair surface of modern civilization, As in the case of ancient civilization, all these wild and destructive passions that constitute to society a constant menace. But confidence in the permanence of our social system of modern times has been ex poafc to all classes of intelligence as a delu sion, by the horrible atrocities that, within the last four years, and up to even to-day, have burst from the bad passions of men, darkening our civilization with the shadows and ashes of moral desolatioh Under these circumstances it is delightful to observe the' humauities that have been enshrined for ages in the bosom of the mystic brothcnftxid com ing upoii the scene aud rising onfphe wreck of religion, holding out to mankind the lan guage of universal brotherhood and love.

LOC A L MATTERS. Sale of the Steamer Gen, Lee. The. sale at auction of the river steamer Gen. Lee took place this looming, in front of the office of Lieut. D. H. Knowlton, A. Q. Jf. The steamer Gen. Lee is a well known river steamer, and was built for the up-river trade by Krcpson & Hawkes, in 1862. She was used by the Confederate Government as a transport until the occupation of the city, when she was taken by the United States Government. The Lee was snagged and sunk opposite McAlpin’s Landing, about two months since, aud was ordered to be sold as she lies by Geo. Gillmore. The sale took place at 12 o’clock to-day, by Bell & Christian, Samuel P Bell, Auc tioneer. A respectable attendance of business |nen was present. The bidding opened at $ 100. TUe-second bid was .SSOO, from which figure it rapidly rose to $2,000, at which point the hammer fell, and the steamer was knocked down to W. S. Johns, agent of H- B. Plant, of Augusta, Ga. The Gen. Lee will be immediately raised, and repairs commenced. It is the intention of the owners to put her on the line between this city and Augusta. She will probably be placed iu running order in the course of two weeks. Live Oak Lodge, No. 3, I. O. O. F—The following brethren have been elected and in stalled officers for the ensuing term— R.
