HOW TO OBTAIN THE HERALD REG.
CLARLY.
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.

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.

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.
