The Savannah Daily Herald. WEDNESDAY, JULY Itt, 1*65 FROM OUR EVENING EDITION OF YESTERDAY. HOW CITIZENS MAY 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 /or 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 issdfcd a proclamation commonly known 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 : “L , do solemnly swear, in the presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect and de fend the Constitution ot the United States, and the Union of the States thereunder ; and that 1 will, in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all acts of Congress passed during the existing rebellion with reference to slaves,' so long and so far as not repealed, modilied, or held void by Cougress, or by decision of the Supreme Court; and that I will, in like manner, abide by and faithfully support all proclamations of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.” On the 29th May, 1 866, President Johnson issued a proclamation known as the new Am nesty Proclamation, in which it is declared that, sinee man}- persons have failed or ne glected to take advantage of the proffer of pardon made in President Lincoln’s procla mation ot December Bth, 1863, by taking the oath therein set forth, such persons—not of' excepted classes—<may receive such benefit by taking and subscribing an oath ot the ten or and effect following, to-wit: “I do solemnly swear or affirm in presence of Almighty God, that I will henceforth faith fully defend the Constitution jpf the United States and the Union oi the States thereun vder, and that I will in like manner abide by aud faithfully support all laws anti proclama tions which 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 giveu, in order to vote at the election for delegates to a Convention when such election may be ordered. This is a most fatal error, and Provisional Governor Johnson , very properly strove to impress that all important tact on the minds of his heavers. In the proclama tion appointing that gentleman to the provis ional governorship of this State, aud declar ing in what way its re-organization must he proceeded with, it is moat explicitly set forth “that in any election that may be held here after for choosing delegates to any State Con vention, as aforesaid, no person shall be qualified as an elector, or shall be eligible as a member of such convention, unless he shall have previously taken aud subscribed the oath of amnesty, as set forth in the Presi dent's of May 29th, A. D. 1860, and is a voter qualified as prescribed by the constitution and laws of the State of Georgia, in force immediately before the im>i ..*• Janu ary, A. D. 1861, the Jure ot the so-called or dinance of secession.” In a circular,bearing date May 29th, 1866,the Secretary of State stales that this oath “may be taken and subscribed before any commis sioned officer, civil, military or naval, in the service of the United States, or auy civil -or military officer ot a loyal State or Territory, who, by the laws thereof, may be qualified for administering oath 9.” Provisional Gov ernor Johnson i» understood 10 be empower ed to appoiut Justices of the Peace pro tern., 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 given in view of the over whelming importance of the subject. Upon 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 tnay 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* be, by the terms of the proclamation of the 29th of May, entitled to take the oath therein set forth, and secondly, must take it. Having taken the amnesty oath of President Lincoln, is of no avail whatsoever in this regard. It will shield one from tile pains and penalties of treason, but gives no-right to vote. Presi dent Johnson’s amnesty oath alone does that, and once more we urge on every citizen to take it at once. Georgia, in the manly lan guage of the Richmond county resolutions, needs “the intelligent unselfish services of her sons * * * and all should be ore pared to sacrifice personal views and coireid erations on the altar of the public good.” * General News.

General Order, i No. 4. ) To prevent misunderstanding, aud to in sure uniformity in the administration of the Solitary affairs of this department, the fol lowing instructions will be observed by the officers of this command: Ist. The aid which the President of the United States, in his Proclamation appoint ing a Provisional Governor for the State of Georgia, has directed the military authorities to give the Governor in his efforts to organ ize a State Government, will be rendered by all officers on duty iu this department, to whom application may be made by the Gov ernor or his duly authorized agents, and 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 when 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 bouse of any citizen be searched for property unless 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 claiiired by the so-called Confed erate States, or which was included in the surrender of the rebel army. No citizen will be arrested upou the complaint of another citizen, unless the accusaliou, supported by the oath of the complainant, would justity the issuing of a warrant in time of pcyie. 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 rtf officers to see that the dignity and authority of the military power ot the Government is maintained anil respected.— While enforcing strict discipline, they will be careful to protect the soldier from insult or indignities. 4th. Aid and assistance will be rendered by all officers in command of troops within the Department, to the Freedmen’s Bureau ; and 011 the application of the Commissioner, or auy of the Assistant Commissioners of said Bureau for the Department of Georgia, to commanding officers of troops, arrests will be made ou tire statement of a commissioned officer over liis official signature or on the sworn statemeuts ot ageuts who are not com missioned officers, of persons accused of crimes and offences against freedmeu. All persons arrested on the application of com missioners or agents of the Freedmeu’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. 6th. The aged and decrepid and helpless women aiiil children, made 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; b'Ot this protection will not extend to those able to w ork, who will not be permitted to remain in idleness. By command of Alaj. Gen. SrEEn«- " g, B. \L W . ® A. A. G. [From the Macon Journal & Messenger.] Tlie 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 rnifid he is but the victim ot circum stances. The slave has had very little it any agency in freeing himself. The event was, doubtless, as unexpected to him as to his master; but that lie 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, and is not amenable to severe censure for in dulging this characteristic upon an occasion of so murii importance as his own emanci pation from bondage. A great many of them have acted very thoughtlessly in 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 in their philosophy. But this is no more than we should have ex pected from our knowledge of 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 it 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 negro 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, and it sjiould be our care to encourage and sus tain the good, and discountenance the evil disfosed among them. - Upon the question of compensation, we think, if the negro will faithfully discharge bis obligations of contract, that bis lormer master can afford to give him all that his labor is worth, and yet he be the gainer, iu a pecuniary sense, by the change. It is our business to show him that we are willing to employ and treat him kifldly 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 ; but 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 contem» ed and punished. His condition now is 01# of self-dependence; wiiat he makes is ht own, to dispose of to The best advantage - If by industry and economy he can achijr e wealth, he will be justly entitled to enjoy its benefits. We have got to employ labor,tind it ought to be satisfaction to us to knerythat oui former slaves are to be the recipittts of all the benefits which may accrue fißm la bor faithfully discharged, rather than stran gers. There is no reason, then, why the faithful negro should not retain the kind rigards of his former master, and receive Iron him such friendly counsels as will tend to advance his moral, Intellectual and social interests. But 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 misconduct bring reproach upon the negro character, aud subject the innocent to unjust suspicion We believe the negro mind is susceptible of a given amount of cul tivation—certainly enough to distinguish be tween right and wrong, and both as philan thropists and statesmen, it is the policy of the whites to stimulate this intelligence and direct it for the best Interests of the State and the negro himself. While we are no longer permitted to direct him in the capa city of masters, we may influence him as friends Aud this, we think, is our duty, politically and philantbropically. Such a course on our part will also prove that our interest in the negro has not been an entirely mercenary one, as some of our enemies are disposed to charge. For our own part, while we had no part in making his freedom toler able, and will give him all the aiij in our power to do right, but shall not spare cen sure when he does wrong. He shall-at least have the benefit of our best wishes for his success as a lreedman, though we think the day will come when he will not those who made him so. [From tlie New York Tribane.] Reduction of the Hour# of Labor- to Eight per Day. It is probable th at the great body of skilled laborers in this country produce double the amount per man of the articles conducive to human sustenance and comfort than 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 end here ? When the effectiveness of labor shall have been once more doubled, shall the workman go on toiling from dawn to dark—at least lor ten hours per day—as hitheito ? On the con trary, is it. not reasonable and proper to anti cipate and advocate a further curtailment and limitation of the hours of daily toil, as a natural, legitimate, beneficent cgnsequenee of the increased and continually increasing efficiency of bupiau 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 la9t session of their legislature to command its emphatic attention. A Joint Committee was appointed to consider the subject, be fore whom the Eight-Hour advocates ap peared,, with facts, arguments, documents; and the result was a unanimous report in Ja vor of the Eight-Hour system. And the fact that Gov. Andrew has appointed, in obedience to a vote of the Legislature, an unpaid .and most influential Commission, composed of Rev. Edward E. Hale, Hon. Charles T. liussell, Hon. Joseph White, Dr. H. I. Bowditch and F. B. Biuiboi u. Esq., to pursue the inquiry, collect testimony, and report the facts and their conclusions to the next Legislature, encourage the hope that the truth, whatever it may be developed and established, and the Eight-Hour System, if it be proved correct aud beneficent, receive legislative indorsement and sanction from that Stale which, though and hated, has nobly won her title to be con sidered second in intelligence gud enterprise, in energy aud industrial efficiency, to no other iu me Union. For our own part, we have never yet been able to limit our own hours of labor to sixty per week, and should coutenmV*" “—~ ductiou to tu«* iiumoer as a welcome solace u> urfvancing’years aud waning physical en ergies; yet we cannot realize that our work is less arduous or less deserving than that of mechanics or artisans. But we believe in Progress—iu a better physical as well as in tellectual and moral condition in the future for the toiling millions than they have en dured iu the past; and wp 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 lieAO the Laboring Class can secure more pay by working fewer hours, as they are confi dently assured in some of the Eight-Hour appeals betore U 9, for our experience tends entirely in the opposite direction ; but it is right that they should fairly oarticipate in the advantages constantly accruing to the public from the expiration ot patents issued fourteen to twenty-eight years ago ; and it is quite possible that lower wages and more frugal living combined with larger opportu nities for rpfection and mental improvement, would be ha led by many of them as alike ac ceptable and advantageous. Inflexible only on one point—that whatever is best for La bor is best toi Capital as well—we call atten tion to the subject of a regulation and further limitation of the hours of labor, and will gladly receive any facts or suggestions which seem calculate! to shed further light there upon.

Thk Cubing of Ford’s Theatre.— .The New YorkfHerald’s Washington correspond ent says: ' • Mr. John T.

Uth. « -- - [From the New Ydifc News, ioth.i Masonry Rising into Religion. The Masons oi Massachusetts have made offer of their hospitality to leading brethren of their ancient Order at the South. Coming from Massachusetts, too. this fact 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 until to-day. Masonry has in the past done good service to religion by keeping alive among men the spirit of its morality. Opinion in these latter days had taken tl:e'shape very generally of the conclusion that in that respect the Ma sonic system bad outlived 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 tlie case of ancient civilization, ‘all these wild and destructive passions that constitute to society a constant rqenace. But confidence in the permanence of our social system of modern times has been ex posed 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 desolation. Under these circumstances it is delightful to observe the humanities that have been enshrined for ages in the bosom of the mystic brotherhood com ing upon the scene and rising on the wreck of religion, holding out to mankind the lan guage of universal brotherhood and love. All honor to that precious institution of tlie an cient times, which, when Christianity has had its voice choked to a very great extent by the falsehood of hundreds who had been pledged to its service, stands out before man kind with the lamp of a loving humanity in its hand, teaching and acting the loving kind ness of the Sermon on the Mount. . . LOCAL MATTER 8. Sale of the Steamer Gen, Lee. The sale at auction of the river steamer Gen. Lee took place this morning, in front of the office of Lieut. D. H. Knowlton, A. Q. M. The steamer Gen. Lee is a well known river steamer, and was built for the up-river trade by Krenson & Hawkes, iu 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, and was ordered to be sold as she lies by Gen. Gillmore. The sale took place at 12 o’clock to-day, by Bell & Christian, Samuel P. Bell, Auc tioneer. A respectable attendance of business men wa9 present. The bidding opened at SIOO. Tlie-second bid was S6OO, from which figure it rapidly rose to $2,000, at which point the hammer fell,, and the steamer wa9 knocked down to W. S. Johns, agent of 11. 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 in running order in the course of two weeks. Li ve Oak Lodue, No. 3, I. O. O. F.—The following brethren have been elected aud in stalled officers for the ensuing term— R.
