Kd the secessionists of the South ; and in i lieir retusing to heed the wise council of j Ke Democracy, who, long ago, predicted IKat the election of a sectional candidate f )o n the sectional principles would be the ■ in-runner of a civil wav, have been the i Lms of desolating our land, filling it with , T dows and orphans, sending to the grave , lindreus <>f thousands of brave men, and I Jr igbing the people down with an enormous ■e it that will take generations unborn to By ; which debt, though not fearful, is con umally increasing. . ... I Resolved, That we are in fauor of the old i -, tem 0 { gold and silver currency, and oi e-establisliing the currency of this country non its old basis. Whereas, it was without an exception, mtil alter the election for President in 1860, ®d for more than a year after the inaugura iou of the President then elected, a cardi- | lal principle of all political parties, from the , brmatlon of the Constitution, that ail pow- j , rs not delegated by the people of the gen eral government, were reserved to the statos n the people, and that each state had a iitu to control its own domestic policy ac ’Jrding to its own judgment exclusively ; md whereas, all the states are in the Union, wd their acts of secession null and void, nd they have not, by reason of the war, lost lay rights that were guaranteed to them by the Con4itution; therefore Be it H solved, In the language of the thud paragraph of the Republican platform, adopt pl at Chicago in 1860, that “The right of sach State to legislate and control its own domestic institutions according to its owu judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric de- That we are most emphatically opposed to negro suffrage, and entirely agree with President Johnson that the people ot each State have the light to control that subject as they deem best. Whereas, The Democratic party were the first in this State to advocate equal taxa tion, and establish by law a system of equal taxation in the State, and it is right that every person should pay taxes according to the value of his property of every kind, we hereby protest against the law of Congress exempting government bonds from taxation as onerous and unjust, and are in favor of an act of the Legislature of this State taxing the income from sunk bonds. Resolved, That we are in favor of the right ot each State to control its own militia, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, and the admission into the Congress of the United States of all persons duly elected ac cording to the laws of their respective States. Resolved, That the national debt, which [ has been enormously increased beyond its f legitimate amount, by unwise legislation, ■ corruption and extravagance, is a curse to every man who cannot afford to live upon : the interest of United States bonds, and that 1 the welfare of the laboring classes of the country demands a speedy relief by the re duction of the standing army, a diminution ot the number of governmental officials, an equalization of taxation, and rigid economy. Resolved, That we hereby tender to trie officers and soldiers engaged in the late war our sympathy and support; that we applaud them for their valor, bravery, and heroism, and believe that the credit of the victories won by the Union armies are due alone to the white officers and soldiers, and as much to the white soldiers as to the white officers in command, aud we extend to them, without distinction of party, a hearty welcome from the scenes of war to their peaceful homes. Whereas, The administration agreed to pay as bounty to all soldiers for one year the sum of one hundred dollars, a part of which was to have been paid when they were mus tered out, which tbe administration now re fuses to pay, we are in favor of the payment to the soldiers the whole of such bounty. Whereas, It is just and right that all vol unteers in the army, without regard to when they volunteered, should receive a govern ment bounty alike, we are in favor of Con gress giving to those who volunteered before ouuties were given by tbe government the higuest bounty at any time given by the gov ernment to volunteers, and will urge upon Congress the passage of such a law. Resolved, That we are in favor of so equal ling the bounties paid to soldiers of 1861 aud 1862, that they shall receive the same pay and bounty as the soldiers of 1868 and 18 it, and that Congress should make an ap propriation for tbis purpose. Resolved, That we feel deeply grateful to the patriotic and gallant officers and men of the army and navy of the United States, by whose skill, courage, and endurance the power and authority of the Federal Govern ment were maintained, and tbe late gigantic rebellion crushed; we tender to- them one and all our hearty thanks; tbe Jerseymen who since April 12, 1861, served in the army ani navy, by their gallant deeds, have not only maintained the past heroic name of our State, but denied the fanatical slander that “ia the war the negroea bore the palm.’’ Resolved, That we reiterate our faith in the Monroe doctrine, and that we are in favor of enforcing it, by arms, if necessary, against any foreign monarchical power, and that we denonnae the seeming acqulesenoe of tbe administration In the attempted sub jugation of Mexico, aa inimical to our na tional Interests and derogatory to our na tional integrity. I Resolved, That while we deprecate 11 e weakness of the administration in permitting tbe illegal arrests of citizens by military pow er in stales where tbe courts' are open, tbe suspension of tbe writ of habeas carpus in a time of “profound peace," and the interfer ence by the military with the freedom of elections; and while we regret that a gen eral amnesty has not been extended to all rebels who abandoned their cause, snd swear allegiance to the old Union, we are yet will ing to give to the executive our aid and sym pathy in any constitutional efforts for re storing to the Southern States the exercise of their original rights and powers, and con sequently to the whole country its wonted good feeling and prosperity. Resolved, That the economy, prudence, zeal, aud patriotism that have marked the present State administration during the last three perilous years merit our hearty com mendation, for illustrating to the people the practical benefits of Democratic principles of government. Resolved, That to the candidate this day nominated we tender our cordial support, recommending him to popular tavor as one whose election will maintain the right, repu tation and integrity of the State and the presperity and happiuess of her citizens. From Washington, We select the following items of tele graphic news from our late Northern ex changes : ERRORS CORRECTED. It Is untiut, as stated in some ot the news papers, that the President has granted par dons to Gideon J. Pillow, late in the rebel army, A. O. P. Nicholson, ex United States Senator, and at one time the editor of the Washington Union, and Wm. Williams, A. Scroggs and C. F. Lucky, of Tennessee, and ex-Gov. Aiken, of South Carolina. These applications have not been acted on by the President. A LONG TRIAL. Tbe counsel for Wirz say that they will summon at least one hundred and fifty wit nesses. If so, those, with the witnesses called for the prosecution, will make three hundred in ail to be examined, probably ex tending the trial three months. MRS. HUNTER CALLS ON THE PRESIDENT. Mrs. R. M. T. Hunter had a protracted interview with President Johnson to-day, with reference to the release of her husband. It is stated that her husband, now confined as a State prisoner in Fort Pulaski, asks for his leleasc, with the privilege of leaving the country forever. Intercession was also made by ex Gov. Joseph Brown and Linton Stephens in be half of A'exander H. Stephens. Washington, Monday, Aug. 28. THE WITHDRAWAL OF LEE FHOM THE TRIAL. The reason assigned by those who ought to know for the withdrawal of the names of Robert E. Lee and several others, from, the charge ot conspiracy with Wirz, is that these persons are actually or constructively in the custody of the U. States, but not on trial. REVENUE DECISION The Commissioner of luternal Revenue to day decided that while under tbe terms of a will the legatee can demand of the executor the delivery of gold, he cauuot be held to receive a legacy of money merely, tor in that case the executor would be discharged by a payment in currency. It must, therefore, be treated as a specific legacy, the clear value in currency of which at tbe time tbe legatee received it would be taxable. When an al lowance over and above the valuation of a specific legacy on which the tax bad been paid is afterward realized by the sale of such specific legacy, such advance is regarded as neither taxable legacy nor income. RETURN Ot TBE PRESIDENT AND FAMILY- The President and family have returned from an excursion to Fort Monroe. They did not visit Richmond, as reported, nor is it be lieved that the President intends going there. IKE ARMT. The number of officers and men now com prising the army does not exceed forty-six thousand, though published estimates put it at much higher figures. THE EFFORTS FOR THE RELEABE OF STEPHENS A / EAILCRE. The efforts which have been made to se cure the release of Alexander H. Stephens and ex-Senator Hunter do not promise very favorable results. THr; STORT ABOUT A MI.VIST ER FROM MAXIMILIAN. Tbe sensational story about a minister from Maximilian to President Johnson, presenting himself to the Secretary of State with a let ter of condolence on the death of President Lincoln, and being politely out, con veys at least as much information __ to the State Department as to the public. Nothing is known here of any such minister, any such letter, or any such interview. ABOUT COLORED TROOPS. The statement that all the colored troops are to be mustered out the service is untrue. It probably arose from the fact that all negro troops mustered in under state organizations are to be discharged. WADE HAMPTON. The rebel General Wade Hampton Las asked lor pardon. His petition was received on Saturday. CERTIFICATES OF INDEB IEDNESS AND CURRENCY The amount of certificates of indebtedness for the week ending to-day is $6,821,100,and the amount of mutilated fractional currency for the same period redeemed and destroyed amounts to $400,200. INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS. The receipts Irom internal revenue since July 1 amount to over forty-eight millions and a half. The receipts yesterday amount ed to one million two hundred and seven thousand eight hundred and forty-eight dol lars. THE MUSTER OUT OF GENERAL OFFICER?. The War Department on Saturday issued an order honorably mustering out of tbe service a number of general officers, their services being no longer needed. There is but little difference bei ween this order and the one which was published in several of the morning papers. The difference is General Bragg, who is serving on the Wirz commission, and General John W. Sprague. Neither of these are mustered out. General Erastus B. Tyler i* among those who are. Washington, Rag. 30. Linton Stephens, brother of Alexander H. Stephens, now confined in Fort Warren, lett to-day, by permission of the President, to see his brother. It is regarded as quite cer tain that the latter will be paroled. The clerks of the Attorney-General’s of fice have been kept busy to-day bya host of applicant* for pardon, and the President’s mansion has been in a state of siege by the same class. No important pardons were granted to-day. He att Receipt? or Cotton.— Cotton is at present pouring into this market In large quantities. The receipts, thus far this week, average nearly 5,000 baltfc a day, against daily sales of about 2,000 bales. The stock of cotton here is increasing rapidly ; it is now estimated at over 100,000 bales. As the stock accumulates prices recede. Middling pades have declined 3 cents per pound with in a week. Cotton goods, on the other hand, are temporarily In very moderate supply, and unusually brisk at advancing pricks. Production does not keep peace with con sumption Some of the Eastern "ri’W are working on short time “for want of water.” SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1865. We hope this need will soon be satisfied, so that goods may be produced in sufficient quantises to meet the requirements of the unusually brisk Ausumu trade, and prevent all unnecessary inflation of market values.— N. Y Times. Public Meeting in Richmond A Formal Reply to Radical As saults upon the South. A 6AU run uiKiRAt Minifies THRSiiBHOuT viaeiiu. Washington, August 30. Richmond papers of to-day contain the proceedings of a large mass meeting held in Capitol Square, in that city, on yesterday.— Judge Lyons presided. Among the resolu tions adopted are the following : We, the people of the city of Richmond, in mass meeting assembled to express our opinions in the present exigency of public affairs, do resolve that we have witnessed, with just indignation, the persistent and wicked efforts of a portion of the press and people of the Northern States to brand the people of the South with perfidy and insin cerity in the honest attempts they have made and are making to resume their "former rela tions with the Union by questioning their fi delity and truth in the oath of allegiance which they have taken, and by vague and unsupported charges that they desire, if they do not contemplate, further "resistance to its authority. Such imputations are not only fillse but mischievous, being calculated to le tard, if they be not designed to defeat, that pertect and constitutional restoration of the Union which the war was professedly waged against the seceding States to effect, and which good men and patriots in all sections of the country earnestly desire to accomp lish ; and it being of the first importance that the minds of the whole people be disabused of these impressions, aud particularly that the authorities at Washington be truly in formed of tbe temper and disposition of tbe Southern people, we do solemnly pronounce these and all other imputations upon them of a kindred character, no matter from what source they come, to be utterly unfounded and fa'ae. Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to our tallow-citizens throughout the State" to hold meetings as soon as practicable in their respective counties and towns, and adopt suitable resolutions expressive, as we do not doubt they will be, of their entire sympathy in the motives, purposes, and ob jects herein declared, that no cloud of doubt, no shadow of suspicion may rest on the in tegrity, honor, aud good faith of their ex pressed deaire and honest attempts to resume the duties of allegiance to tbe United States. THE CHOLERA. Rapid Spread of »he Pestilence in Italy— The Government tali for Volunteer Physicians Denial of the Reported Death of the Archbishop of Ancona. (From the Official Gazette of Florence.] The increase of cholera at Ancona and the occurrence of isolated cases in some oth- ' er towns of the kingdom, induces the gov- ; eminent to call upon the most willing tuedi- ! cal men and those not bound by public ser vice, to register their names at the offices of the prefects, in order to immediately assist the sanitary corps in Ancona, or other local ities, if the necessity may hereafter arise.— The government befog certain of meeting a ready response to this appeal from the tried abnegation of the Italian medical profession, will not fail on their side to duly take into account any extraordinary services they may render to humanity and their country. THE ARCHBISHOP OF ANCONA NOT DEAD. [From the Florence Italie.) A statement made by several journals led us into error in announcing that the arch bishop of Ancona had fallen a victim to the cholera. The Uuita Cattolica even publish ed a necrological biography of that prelate. The Corriere delle Marche now states that the archbishop is alive and well, and has not been attacked by the epidemic. PROGRESS OF THE DISEASE. [FromGalignani’j Messenger, Aug. 15.] Tbe ministers of finance and public in struction, on visiting Ancona, placed 15,000 lire at the service ot the prefect, besides per sonally subscribing in aid of tbe two chief charitable societies established in the town. A third of the shops are closed, as well as eighty per cent of tbe most important mer cantile establishments. The emigrants from the town proceeds upon a large scale, 8,000 persons out of a population oi 40,000 having already quilted it The number of new cases of cholera at Ancona on the 11th was seventy-seven ; the number of deaths thirty-niue, including twenty-five deaths of patients attacked on the previous days. The pestilence is rapidly decreasing, being much less virulent than it was. Tbe total number of deaths up to the 12th was 781. Tlie Pestilence in the East. TERRIBLE MORTALITY IN CONSIANTINOPLB AND SMYRNA—RIGID QUARANTINE REGULATIONS ES TABLISHED Trieste, Aug. 11. The Levant post, just arrived here, brings tbe following particulars as to the epidemic now raging in tbe East. From tbe 26th of July to the Ist of August inclusive, one thousand four hundred and forty-two persons died of cholera in Con stantinople. The number of deaths in that city on the Ist of August amounted to three hundred and twenty, on the 2d to two hun dred and seventy-two (exclusive of those in Scutari), and on the 3d to two hundred and seventy (exclusive of Scutari, where few persons have hitherto fallen victims to the epidemic). The Journal de Constantinople states that a decided decrease in the number of deaths has taken place in Galata, Pera, and also in different parts of Stamboul, where tbe disease is now chiefly fatal among indi viduals of the lower classes. Business con tinues generally suspended. The number of those who have lett to escape the disease has been ridiculously exaggerated. The denths iu Smyrna from the 28th July to the 3d August inclusive, amounted to 264 —the Greek population having latterly been chiefly visited by the epidemic. The islands of Metelin and Rhodes have hitherto escaped. On the other band, the Itnpaitial de Smyrna asserts that cholera has broken out in Syra, although all arrivals from Egypt and Turkey are prohibited. This statement is not, how'- ever, confirmed by the Greek journals. A case of cholera is said to have taken place on board tbg steamer Juno at Trapezund. The epidemic which raged at Samatrachi for a short time has entirely disappeared since the middle of July. ‘Both this island, Tenedos, and the district of Jannina are now in au ex cellent sanitary condition. The Governor of Epirus has ordered a quarantine of ten days for all arrivals trom Alexandria, and of two days for those from Constantinople, Syra, and other parts of Tur key infected with the epidemic. Advices from Canea to the 31st July state that the cholera has entirely disappeared from the hospital at Suda, and that, no case has oc curred since the 17th ult. A quarantine of ten days has been ordered for all vessels ar riving at that port. A telegram has been re ceived from Flume, dated eleven a. m. to day, stating that two cases of cholera bud taken place in a ship recently arrived there. The first had terminated fatally, but in the second the patient was recovering. It is stated that all persons arriving at Trieste from Italy will be subjected to fumigation at tbs Nabreaian station. j J JT m . - :/•* The Eagllth Protestant Monk*. SCENES AT BRISTOL. A recent number of tbe Bristol (England j Post has this account of the doings of the Protestant monks: “The Benedictines of Bristol seem to be devoting themselves more strictly than ever to the stringent s-rvices of their order. At tte 1e , to j h A -sumption, celebrated with an unusually rich display of banners and vestsments, after the grand aeivice of ves p; rs a second service was bald at midnight, and the brethren walked in procession, pre ceded by a crucifix borne on high, and chan t ng as they went to St. Michael’s church yard, where some prayers were intoned and h>urns sung. The brethren met with some aunoyance in their progress, and having been compelled by the police to cease their chant ing, returned to the chapel, where there was a tremendous row from half-past one tiil three o'clock. Brother Cypriau, while re buking one of the spectators for his miscon duct, grew rather excited, threw off his sur plice, and threatened to turn out the distur ber bv main force. The offending person threw off his oveicoat and intimated that he was quite ready for anything of that sort, and a noisy row ensued, "and oaths, laughter, jeering and blasphemy kept pace with the service for some time. The crowd of spec tators was augmented now and then by oc c ■ onal stragglers dropping in as they -went r.iung home;’ Bacchanalian spirits were evidently in the majority, and the row con tinned till after three o’clock, and but for the presence ot two policemen several exciting 'mills’ would have come off. High mass was celebrated the next morning. It was an nounced to be followed by a sermon by Fa ther Williams, a priest of the Church ot England, but the sermon was not forthcom ing. There were plenty of candles burning, and the officiating priest wore a gorgeous cape, but he mumbled the lessons or other parts of the service through his teeth in such a manner that no one except his brother Benedictines could hear one word he said. At the vesper service the Rev. Father Wil liams, ‘priest of the Church of England, O. 8. 8.,’ preached on Mathew, 7th chapter, and verses 15-20. One or two persons at the close attempted ;o ask the reverend fa ther a question, but he retired to the altar A boy who was disorderly was ejected by the prior.” Arrest and C’onlluement of Fromtucnt Rebels. Nashville, Tens., Aug. 28. By correspondence just to hand from Knoxville, 1 learn that three prominent rebels, Brigadier-General Jackson, late of the army, Laden C. Humes, ex-rebel senator, and Marshal Council, have been brought to that city and lodged in jail. Eight political prisoners, who were con tinued in the famous “iron cage ’ which once held the person of Governor Brownlow, made their escape a day or two since. Only two bridges now remain to be built to make complete onr great eastern thorugb fare, the Virginia and East Tennessee Rail rosd.
