We often have complaints from resident* of Savan nah and Hilton Head that they are not able always to obtain the Fcbald. The demand is sometimes so great us to et a&ust an Edition very soon af’er its issue, and those who wish tc have the Herald regularly, sb. uid sub«cribe for it. We have faithful carriers in Savannah nd at Hilton Head, aud through them we always eerve regular subscribers first. FREE READING ROOM. For the convenience of our patrons and the public generally, we have assigned a room in the rear of our counting room, 111 Bay street, to the purposes of a free Reading Room. In it w e keep on file the latent pa pers from the North, tbe interior of Georgia, Florida, Hilton Head, Charleston and else where. We invite the public to use this roc/m, and are sure that thev will always find there a larger collection of papers of late date than anywhere else in Savannah. INSTITUTIONS Classical antiquity produced every art but that of governing large bodies of men by means |of the principle of Representation. The wisest of its lawgivers had no concep tion of the theory of Representative govern ment Solon and Lycurgus could not conceive of a system of government for any but small communities. To govern large States by any but direct means was not withiu the scope of their ability. Plato and Aristotle exhaust ed the resources of their philosophy without having advanced one step iu this direction. So much for the theory of the subject. In practice Pericles and Alcibiades were leaders in small aud turbulent Democracies. It was inconvenient to assemble all the people of a City to transact the public business, and in veigh against each other as the means of ac quiring personal popularity. The student of history who will look back and compare 1865 with 1812, when Bona parte was in the plenitude of his power, will derive valuable lessons from a limited period in the annals of mankind. At the former of these epochs be will lind the most formidable military despotism since the days of Augus tus Ceaser, established all over Europe. He may have witnessed the popular outcry that sallied tbe hosts or ii,urope to tne support of its thrones and altars, under the promise that whenever foreign tyranny had been driven out, domestic liberty should receive ample guaranties. ■He cannot fail to have realizes the violation of this pledge—the disappoint ment of this hope. He will have seen the crowned heads of Europe, not only false to their vows, but placing new shackles on free dom. But the Revolution of 1848 came. Royalty again pledged its faith. This time there wa9 performance. Among the boons received was that of Representative institutions. There is scarcely a State in Europe, of the most in significant proportions, that has not now its popular assembly. Debate takes place in regular and orderly succession, with entire publicity of the proceedings. Ministerial re sponsibility, in the presence of the Deputies of the people, has become a maxim of gov ernment. Is this a permanent acquisition, or a tem porary and fitlul improvement ?■ We are in clined to think it the fruit of general causes the result of progressive intelligence. The principle of Representation has boen gained and lost frequently in the course of history. It is claimed to have had its source in Sic ily and also, in Spain. But its origin in all the countries of Europe is to be traced to a mere ly Feudal relation, and the dependence of the follower on his Liege lord. The value and utility of the Representative assembly are to be found in the commercial character of the period in which it has reached its fullest development. The Cortes, of Spain; the Wittenagamote, of England ; the Parliament, of Sicily ; the Diets of Poland, of Germany and of Hungary were constituted of but two classes—the Nobility and the Priesthood, to the exclusion of the Middle order, with un important exceptions, from a few of the cities. It was not until the growth of the Com mercial spirit—until the increase of towns and the division of classes and professions— that we discover that blending of Delegates in the same body that represents the various orders and interests of society, and produces that salutary admixture which operates as a mutual restraint’ without degenerating into faction and tumult. It is this variety of Rep resentation, and not numerical correspondence between constituents and Representative* that renders the British House of Commons the most perfect Deliberative body in the world. There is no interest that does not find a voice in that assembly—no right that will not find an advocate within its walls. We owe this improvement to the progress of wealth and intelligence— to commerce and the arts which have brought, and are bring ing, the most distant nations into Internation al harmony, and is making the intelligence of a part the common property of the whole. The declaimers against popular represen tative government, cannot conceive in what manner its principles are to be reconciled with order and rational liberty. The spell is to be wrought by virtue of the representa tive principle—not by the representation 'of classes and orders,as in the Mediceval period, but a representation of rights and interests, being the retex of the popular will, and the embodiment of the power of the commu nity. If then it is true that the principle of Rep resentation had its source in the forests of Germany, in some remote period,it i9 no less trpe that we have given it permanence and systematic operation ? As we have said, it has appeared in Europe, after long inter vals. It has apparently flourishad in vigor, and has ceased to shed over the countries in which it appeared its benign influence, ply because is had too narrow a basis. %*. the collection districts of GEORGIA. ' We are indebted to Mr. W. H. Watson, recently appointed by the President Assessor of tbe Internal Revenue for the 4th District, which, as will be seen, includes the larger part of Northern Georgia, for the following statement of the composition of the four dis tricts of the State, established to facilitate the collection of the internal revenue : The first district will consist of the coun ties of Appling, Berrien, Brooke, Bryan, Bul lock, Camden, Charlton, Chatham, Clinch, Coffee, Colquitt, Echols, Effingham, Eman uel, Glynn, Irwin, Johnson, Laurens, Lib erty, Lowndes, Mclntosh, Montgomery, Pierce, Tattnall, Telfair, Thomas, Ware, Wayne and Wilcox.

Death or W. T. Crane. —We gave a day or two since a brief telegraphic announcement of the sudden death of a Mr. Crane, an artist, at, Washington. We are pained to team that tbe deceased was Mr. Wimam Tileston Crane, of Frank Leslie’s Illustrated newspaper, a gentleman who has been with the army tor nearly lour years a9 an artist for that paper. After Sherman’s capture of Savannah he wa9 stationed here for a time, aud he accompanied Gen. Gillmore in his famous Morris Island campaign. He was a young man of rare bumor and geniality of disposition, who made friends everywhere he went, and whose loss will be deeply regret ted by a host of them. The Steamship Empire City. —This steam ship, which re-places the Fulton on the Port Royal line, is an old but very comtortable ship. She was formerly on the government line to New Orleans. She is a side-wheeler of about 2,000 tons burthen, commanded by Capt. Henry Barton. The passengers on her recent trip down all speak In the highest terms of the Captain, of the Steward, Mr. Fuller, and in fact of all the officers, and the general treatment of passengers on the ship. TUe Elective Franchise. Mr. Editor :—Your correspondent on “Edu cation" states “the constitution guaiantees the elective franchise to every one.” 1 can’t see it. In the several States time, place and condition are governed by State laws, except in the election for Presidential electors. Citizen. Representation op the Counties.-vI» will be seen in the governor’s proclamation that the districting of the State for legtslative purposes, in force prior to January Ist, 1861, is to be observed in regulating the election of delegateyto the constitutioual convention, which body so far as numerical strength is concerned, will be the same as the conven tion held January 16, 1861. The thirty sev en counties entitled to three delegates are as follows : Bibb, Burke. Carroll, Cass, Chat ham, Cherokee, Clark, Cobb, Columbia, Coweta, Decatur, Floyd, Fulton, GordoD, Green, Gwinnett, Hall, Hancock, Harris, Henry, Houston, Jackson, Meriwether, Mon roe, Muscogee, Newton, Oglethorpe, Rich mond, Stewart, Sumter, Talbot, Thornes, Troup, Waker, Walton, Washington, Whit field. All the other counties, ninety-five in number, in existence January 1, 1861;* will be entitled to two delegates each. The to tal vote of the convention will be three hun dred and one.— Macon Telegraph. The Mexican port of Tuxpan has been opened to foreign trade. A citizen of the United States, Dr. T. C. Massey has estab lished agencies for emigration to Mexico, as a private enterprise only. —The Emperor Joseph, of Austria, is re ported to have submitted to his popular as sembly a law giving the women of his em pire a right to vote. He is evidently more susceptible to the fascinating charms of the sex than was his predecessor, the Joseph of old. A letter writer says Washington can boast of a marvellous proportion of beauti ful women, but many of them look better thou they behave. TH fREEDMES IS THE ISTERIOR. Vlev of the Georgia Press. The icon Telegraph sounds the follow ing WARNING. It is >w our duty to inform the authori ties, ll ie to whose hands have been intrust ed th< aauagement and control of our af fairs, ual events that are now transpiring, whicl :quire immediate and prompt action. We w n them that unless attention is direc ted at ace to the conduct of the freedmep, the st es of bloodshed and massacre of St. Dorni o will be re-enacted in our midst be fore t close of the year. We speak advis edly. tVe have authentic information of the speet sand conversation of the blacks, suf ficien o convince us of their purpose- They mak< o secret of their movement. Tell us not t t we are alarmists. After due inves tigat i aud reflection upon this matter, we have etermined to talk plainly, without fear favor, and if our voice of warning is not 1 *ded, we, at least, will have the con solin reflection that we have performed our duty Ot word to the people. Our safety and prot< ion from such occurrences depend at pre9t , upon the military power of the Uni ted £ tes ; and it is competent to defend us. But 1 w can we expect to guard agaiust this state ‘ things in the future ? Does any sane man i ppo9e that by a sullen and obstinate spiritjf quiescence the future well-being of the Site and of society, can be secured ’ In asi time w’e will be called upon to send del< files to a convention to form a State con itution. Is it not important that men of stat nanskip and wisdom should represent us 1 Upon the action ot the next legislature def ads in a great measure, our future tran qui :y, safety and prosperity. You people of (;orgia, arq to elect them. They are to be io9en by you. Will you not at once qu ify yourselveS exercise of tbe eiei ive franchise ? ip. THE APPREHENSIONS NOT GROUNDLESS. 'j ie Atlanta Intelligencer echoes the alarm of 1 e Telegraphin'the subjoined article : j spirit of reckless improvidence and an enl re indifference as to the events of the fu tuii, seem to have taken possession of the mi|ds of a majority of the negroes of the country. Without judgment, without fore sight—attributes that not many of them have hitierto been called upon to exercise, as their plaining and thinking has been done for them by the whites—these deluded creatures hare become possessed with tbe idea that th«y are free to do just as they please. Every one that bar any knowledge of the negro character, knows that nine out’ of ten ot'tbem are indolent and entirely disinclined to work or to make any effort whatever, if any labor is required, when lelt to pursue the bent of their inclinations. They seem to think, if they think at all, that iu some mys terious way shelters will be provided to shield them from tbe blasts of autumn and the storms of winter, which will soon be upon them, and hence with a reckless aban don that is perfectly marvelous, they leave comfortable homes where hitherto they have lived iu the enjoyment of as much happiness as any laboring people on earth, and where they seemed to be perfectly satisfied until idea oftieing'ftfe V As tcTsubsistenceHor the future, they must be calculating that they will be fed as were the ancient children of Israel in the wilderness, with quails aud manna from Heaven ; for not the least pro vision do they seem to be making for a fu ture supply. The scenes of the farm and the dull rou tsne of plantation work, are evidently too time and too commonplace to suit their be wildered imaginations ; and in crowds they throng the ways that lead to the cities, aud then they heard as best they can. Some of them get inta cellars or under houses—oth ers under frail board shelters, and dthers spread themselves upon the naked ground with no shelter save the broad canopy of heaven. What is to become of these poor deluded creatures a few months hence—bow they are to be sheltered against the storms of winter—how they are to be fed and clothed, and how they are to be prevented from indiscriminate theft and robbery, are questions iff fearful import, and calls most loudly upon those whose duty it now is to take action in the premises, to be active and prompt in the adoption ot measures called for iu this emergency, if they wish to prevent the enactment of scenes at which humanity shudders, and which, if permit ted to transpire, will bring a reproach upon the civilization of the nineteenth century. HOW the CONTRACT SYSTEM WORK 9. The Macon Journal and Messenger says : We have received a letter from a Inend who we know to be-a man of integrity and honor, and who has heretofore been a kind and indulgent master. His letter is a private one, not intended for publication, but as there are those among us who we believe honestly desire to know more of the negro character than they have yet had an oppor tunity of doing, we make the following ex tracts from the letter, written in no captious spirit we know. The testimony of such men as cur correspondent ought to receive with every one not so blinded by prejudice as to wilfully shut their eyes to the truth. The wrier says; ‘ I have talked and read and explained to my negroes until nearly all the able bodied ones are gone—most of them around your city. I have offered to hire with 1 money or with part of the crop, and did finally, after reading the Augusta schedule of prices, sol emily make a bargain with them, and re duced it to writing, with my name and theirs attached; but nigfit after night they are leav ing (why not go in the day time) ? I am con7inced of one thing, and the world will be—that you cannot bind a free negro. The idea that cotton can or will be grown by hirel labor (ot the negro), will be exploded, but at the expense of him who tried it. I sha’J never try it, nor will many practical planters in this country. ‘I do truly pity the negro. Mine were once happy and, let alone, were perfectly sat isfied. But, alas! Ido pity the little and old onei. I have been anxious to have some genteel Yankees come and stay with.me, and be witness for and against me in my treat ment ot my negroes. * * * * The fact is, the negro will not work unless compelled. I will do as well for those I have had as slaves as any man. I know them and their faults, as well as their virtues. But the negro thinks some other place than home is preferable, and this idea will pent seven, tenths of them. “Many crops are ruined for want of la borers—my own included. If you know of any enterprising Yankee who wishes to try his hand with lured negroes, send him on. My plantation is for sale at $lO per acre. It is a good place and cheap at that price—es pecially as they claim that the negro will wprk better now than before." Such are the statements of a man who has been proverbially kind to his negroes, aud who, now that they have been declared free, has offered them fair inducements to work ior pay,—binding both himself and them by written contract, which they disregard. 19 it surprising that he and others should des pair of success in cotton cultivation, based upon such precarious labor as this ? , THE PENAL LAW'S FOR THE NEORO. The Atlanta city council has adopted an ordinance which, after ascenting in a “whereas” that “the military authonties do not recognize any difference in penal laws between whites and black, provides that “all ordinances and parts of ordinances making the negro guilty of different crimes from the whites, be, and the same are hereby re pealed ; and that, hereafter, negroes be sub ject to tbe same ordinances as whites, and for violations of them be punished as white persons: Provided, that on any failure to pay any fine or co9ts, they may be sentenced to work upon the streets or other* public works of the city for such time as will pay the sameat rates paid to persons doing such work for the.city.’’ Sambo will find many of the penalties to which he will now be subjected much more severe than those formerly imposed on him.
