(From onr Special Correppodent]
Mu.lkdqkvii.le, Oct. 30, 1865.
In my report of the proceedings of Satur
day morning, I was obliged to close with a
brief outline of only a portion of the debate
which arose on Mr. Harris’ resolution for a
committee to inquire of the provisional Gov
ernor, whether the repudiation of the Stale
war debt would be insisted on by the Presi
dent-as a condition of re-admission into the
Union. The entire debate was interesting
and important, indicating as it did the fueling
of the leading men of the Convention in op
p isition to repudiation. Nearly all the
speakers expressed themselves iu decided
opposition to repudiation, and generally, iu
favor of scaling the debt to a specie basis.
The following are the remarks, in full, of
Hon. Solomon Cohen, of Savannah, who
' closed the debate :
SPEECH OP lIOX. SOLOMON COHEN.
Mr. Ppknident : Tbe importance of this
question, which weighs heavily upon my
own mind, prompts me to ask the indulgence
of the Convention until 1 have given expres
sion to the opinions which animate me on
the present occasion. The anxiety which
gentlemen manifest to return to the bosom
of their families, renders them restive of dis
cussion upon the most vital question which
can well come before this body, It is a ques
tion which involves the whole subject of tbe
rights of tbe State of Georgia as a sovereign
people, and one in which the dignity of the
people is concerned. Sir, there is no man
on this floor who appreciates more than I do
the magnanimity aud steru justice of the
President of the United States. He has bared
bis breast against the surging waves of North
ern fanaticism in his efforts !o do justice to
the South and protect her rights. I respect
and honor him for that, and will sustain him
to the best of my ability in the effort to pre
serve our political safety. But, Sir, there is
a limit beyond which I cannot go. I im
pugn the motives of no gentleman upon this
floor, acting under the solemnity of an
oath. I presume each member’s course
is governed by the dictates of his conscience,
and I desire the same measure of justice
meted out to me. 1 cannot vote lor this re
solution, yvhich would take from me the
sacred right of my judgment. There has
been error on this question, and error, in
my humble opinion, iu the manner of its dis
cussion. Gentlemen mistake the object of re
solutions oi inquiry iu a Legislative body. If
it was a resolution to ask for any historical
fact, or statistical information, or any other
facts pertinent to the issue under considera
tion, thin it would come legitimately before
this body and I should be ready to voli tor
it. But if I understand the resolution, it is
not one of ehquiry of facts, but a3 to the
opinion of the President. It has been w r elt
said by 1 some, that the President of the United
States does not know any bjiter than we do,
the terms upon which the representatives
of this State wouid be admitted upon the
floor of Congress; and if bo were asked that
question, iu my opinion, he would reply “ I
c'annot tell wnat Congress will do.’’ We
know very well what the fanatical portion of
the North require of us. They would uot bo
satisfied with repudiation, unless joined with
negro suffrage, negro equably, social, aud
political. l)o what we may we canuot get
over that test oaJI), which they have on their
statute book, aud which no honorable man
iu Georgia can lake. Chas. Somber and
Thttddtus Stevens have already indicated
what they-require of us. The former has
said that at a pupillage of at least thirty }’ears
will be necessary to wipe from us the stain
ot rebellion. 1 will not quote the words of
Mr.. Steven*, but they were similar in sub
stance sir, with these stern tacts staring in the
lace, it is unnecessary for us to talk ot humi
liation,but It would be humiliating for a State
logo on beuded knees belore a President
and ask him to indicate a poih y for it to pur
sue,in matters iu whidli itis strictly concerned.
Gentlemen have said that it would be less
humiliating to tile South to repudiate the
Stale debt than to accept of the emancipa
tion of their slaves. But lids U a mistake.—
flic emancipation of slaves was, at the time
ot the overthrow of the States, uu accom
plished lirct. It was brought lorward origi
nally as a war measure, aud the government
had beeu irrevocably committed to It, and
would under no circumstances admit of our
eturn to the Union, except utter acknowl
edgment of the fact. But it has never been !
required by the Government of the United I
HitiU'ji Unit tbo rtpUiiitUiou of tho wir Uobi| 1
ot the Spites should lie ncmissary for the re
ception Os their Representatives IU Congress, '
aud the resiig utiou of the Hiutes to their tor
niir status in tho Union. Had this beeu a
condition pieced! ul to our return to Iho
Union, the President in his proclauuvUons
appointing Provisional Governors for tbe
States, would have told us. But uot one
word does he say in relation to the matter.—
If it is said that we must oipudiate the debt
trom any past obligation, I reply that such
a condition is not to be found in the charter
of my pardon, uor ot the test oath which we
took at the opening of the Convention. 1
w-ould reply that my conscience does not
permit me to repudiate the debt-of Georgia.
Bat iT it should be made a prerequisite for
the admission of our members of Congress,
then the Convention may meet together and
vote for it, but I never can. One word more
and I have dune. I beg, gentlemen, to draw’
the distinction between « resolution of in
quiry asking for tacts and one asking for
opinions. 1 beg you to draw the distinction
lietwecu the abolition of slavery as a condi
tion precedent of going back into the Union,
and the repudiation of the State debt as a
condition precedent of the same thiDg. If
President Johnson is correct in the opinion
that we have never been out of
the Union, that Georgia, the young
est of the old Thirteen Stales,
is still in the Union, can any man of com
mon sense say that we should go to the
President to ask him how a member of this
Convention should vote on questions purely
of a State character ? If we should ask him
lie could not tell us, aud if he did, his opin
ion would only be bis private, individual
one. I shall be forced to vote against-the
resolution, believing that its passage would
be equivalent to the surrender of our right
to legislate on the subject, and invoking the
dictation of the President.
Saturday Afternoon Session.
An Ordinance was introduced providing
for compensation of Justices of the Superior
Court and Ordinaries, for administering the
amnesty oath —fllty cents for each oath. Re
ferred to Committee.#!’Sixteen.
Mr. DeGraffinreid, of Baldwin county,
introduced a resolution instructing the State
Treasurer to make advances of per diem and
mileage to members of the Convention at the
rate fixed by the Code for members of tbe
Legislature. Adopted.
On motion of Hon. C. J. Jenkins, the
business of yesterday was resumed, which
was the consideration of the articles of the '
Constitution reported by the Committee »f
Sixteen.
Mr. Parrel, of Bartow, county, offered an
iniportaut amendment to* the Constitution,
proposing a reduction of the number of
members of the General Assembly, *and an
extension of their terms of office. The amend
ment would reduce the Senate to thirty
three (38) members, and the House to about
eighty-oue (81), giving to each of the 38
largest counties oue representative, and one
to every two of the others. It extends the
Gevernor’s term of office to four years, the
Governor to te inelig ble after one term.
The term of office of the first Senators
elected under the new constitution to be,
one-third two years, one-third four years,
and the other third six years; one
third .to go out every two years, and
elections to be held biennially. Mr. Parrott
entered into an able argument iu support of
his amendment; giviDg among other reasons,
for its adoption, the existing necessity for a
retrenchment of the expenses of the State.
He alluded to the fact that the taxable prop
erty of tbe State, by the loss of slaves, the
consequent depreciation in the value of
ands, the destruction of private property ard
ot the State Road, widen will yield noreven 4
tor some lime, had been so reduced as i»
render it absolutely necessary that the strict
est system of economy in carrying on the
State government should be adhered to. The
amendment was amended so as to go into
operation in 1867, and referred to the Com
mittee. The indications are that the amend
ment will be favorably acted on by tbe Com
mittee.
PROGRESS WITH THE CONSTITDTION.
Millkdqkvillk, Oct. 31, 1865
1. There was very little business of impoi
tance transacted in the Convention yesterday
afternoon or during tbe morning session, the
time being chiefly occupied in the considera
tion of the amendments Jo the "Constitution-
The committee of sixteen reported this
morning the IVth article which was read aud
adopted by sections. This leaves only one
article, the Vth, to be adopted. The Con
stitution ns adopted will be nearly the same
as that ot 1861, with the exception of the
clause abolishing slavery. In the re-organi
zrtion of the Judiciary system of the State,
some changes have been made and there is a
strong probability that there will be a very
considerable reduction of the General As
sembly.
THE CURRENT CIVIL EXPENSES.
2. The Provisional Governor yesterday cotn
municatedto the Convention a statement of his
financial transactions, by which it appears that
he has borrowed from citizens of’Augusta to
defray current expenses, the sum of $53,800,
of which $4,686 70 has been expended. By
an ordinance adopted yesterday the Gover
nor is authorized to negotiate a temporary
loan ot $500,000 to detray expenses of the
civil government.
THE REPUDIATION DESPATCHES.
3. The debate iu the motion to ask for in
formation in regard to the President’s views
in reference to repudiation, clearly indicated
the determination of a very decided majority
in the Convention not to repudiute the war
debt of the South. It was not believed that
repudiation of the obligations of the State
Contracted during the war would be insisted
on as a condition precedent to the re-estab
lishment of political relations with the United
Slates government, and there was an almost
unanimous desire on the part of the mem
bers to maintain the good faith of the State.
The despatches elicited from the President
and Secretary Seward, by Gov. .Johnson,
and which I have telegraphed to you, will of
course influence the action of the Conven
tion. It is doubtful, hmvever, whether they
will repudiate the entire debt conlratcd
during the war. A resolution was intro
duced this morning tor the appointment
of a committee of three to examiie
tle records and ascertain what portion
of the debt was contracted for bona .fide
war purposes, and what amount should not
be classed under that head. The committee
is required by the resolution to report to the
next Legislature. This resolution, if adopt
ed, would take the matter from the Conven
tion to the Legislature. But I apprehend
the question will be disposed of by the Con
vention, aud that the Committee of Sixteen
will report in ncquitsence with the express
ed views ot President Johnson.
% COTTON TRANSACTIONS OF THE STATS.
This moroiug Governor Johnson, in com
pliance with a resolution of the Convention,
sent in a message covering communications
from Ex Governor Joseph E. Brown and
Heury Brigham. Esq., giving a full and ex
plicit history of the cotton transactions of
the Stale. Tlie report of Governor Brown
gives the amount of cotton purchased by tbo
State (some six thousand bales), stating
what portion of it was captured; wlmt
amount burned, and what amount was car
ried through the blockade to Liverpool.—
Governor Brown alto gives a statement of
tbo amount of mouey reulized for the cotton,
and tbe objects to which it was appropriated.
The sule of cotton by Col. Aaron Wilbur,
Agent of the Butte, to Heury Brigham,
E»q., just previous to the fall of Savuuuah,
was uot ratified by Governor Brown, at the
time, but owing to the interruption of com*
uiuuicntlon between Savannah and Mahon,
bis repudiation of the sale waa not known to
Mr. Brigham or Col. Wilbur, umlr some

tion, and expresses bis readiness to make a
just and equitable arrangement of the mat
ter. He is willing to pay foi*tbe cotton in
sterling instead of the Confederate correocy,
pained in his notes. The cotton is claimed
fly the State, and Gov. Johnson has given
notice accordingly to the United States Gov
ernment. The message of the Governor
with accompanying documents was referred
to a special committee of which Mr. Coheu
of Chatham is a member.
A committee of three was appointed to
wait on the Provisional Goveraor and pro
cure from him a copy of his despatches to
President Johnson; and all correspondence
between him and the Government at Wash
ington, on tbe subject of repudiating the
State debt.
Mr. Parret’s ordinance suspending the levy_
and sale of property until alter the adjourn-"
ment of the first session of the next legisla
ture, was adopted this morning.
NOMINATIONS FOR THE ELECTION' CONTEMPLATED.
I understand that it is in contem
plation to nominate a candidate 'tyr
Governor, and that the delegates
from the respective Congressional dis
tricts will make nominations for Congress.
There was a meeting of the delegates of the
Ist Congressional District last night, but no
result was arrived at. The names spoken
of as candidates are Solomon Cohen, Charles
C. Jones, Chas. H. Hopkins, E. J. Black,
Geo. A. Gordon, and Jas. L- Seward.
It is now generally believed that the Con
vention will adjourn ou Saturday. . T.
LITERARY.
‘•Tlie .Nation.”
The usual summary of the events oftbe week
presents au intelligible view of public affairs.
“Southern Policy” with assured prescience
indicative of a claim to sagacity and fore
sight. The South is complimented with
“consummate ability.” Its prompt acceptance
of tbe fate to which war lias assigned it, is
adduced as evidence of a profound policy,
by which they arc made to nurse their wrongs
and wait their opportunity. The President
is represented as the dupe of the South, the
victim of its wiles and made “to roar as
gently as aDy sucking dove.”
The tenor of the article is similar to those
utterances of Wendell Philips in which be
appears to be in secret sympathy with his
Republican friends, wishing to make it
appear that the South has obtained
a triumph over the North instead of the latter
having compelled the submission oftbe form
er, to sow distrust ot the President. The
writer does not look for tbe triumph of
Southern ideas—for the re-establishment of
slavery. “ Negro disabilities (says lie) have
eventually to disappear”—but the
tion of agitation which ha 9 torn the country
for the last four years—a soit Os chronic dis
affection—will, (he thinks,) continue.—
Whether the writer's vaticinations will
prove to be prophecies, it will take
another generation to resolve, but one
thing is evident that, as he speaks in
the interests of the Republican party.
“ The Eight-hour Movement” is a paper
: that evinces a knowledge of those econom
ical laws by which labor and capital are re
ciprocally necessary to each .other, and by
which an equilibrium is maintained between
production and consumption. Capital and
lobor are allied forces; their combination is
necessary to produce by their joint efforts
the largest result. The doctrine that their
interest is identical has been taught suc
cessfully, even workshops of Europe,*
where the pressure of the population against
subsistence, destroying the balance between
them, is mos.t conspicuous. In the United
States, where the reverse prevails* that a
conflict between these forces slioul arise is
matter ot. surprise. The argument of tbe
if trite, is not less true than conser
vative. The Eight-hour Labor is an inter
ference of a most destructive character, and
the writer does service to the laborer by an
exposition of the principles by which the
true relations between capital aDd labor are
governed.
. “ The Crisis in Prussia” is an instructive
exposition of the causes of difference be
tween the King of Prussia and his Parlia
ment. It would appear to be the revival of
those disputes that in the history of the
struggles between Absolutism and Demo
cracy, the result of which is, in the end, pop
ular concession as the price of compromise,
by a resort to the purse instead of the sword.
Tse continuance in power of the representa
tive, Bismark, of Absolute opinions, in a
part of Germany which is tbe ' most distin
guished for enlightened views on all branches
of knowledge, shows what little real con
nection there is between learning and lib
erty.
“National Charities” is a protest against
tbe maintenance ot establishments for the
relief of tbe poor and destitute, including
tlie maiqied or discharged men who have
fought tlie battles of tbe country, or who
have grown grey in tbe public service. Tlie
inquiry is made shall a Home be permanently
provided for those who are disabled, and
have no families on whose domestic sympa
thies they may full back ? The writer de
cides these questions in tbe light of expe
rience. Tbe inmates of Chelsea Hospital in
England on being offered out door relief de
clined to quit that institution, and the practi
cal question is “shall a vast establish meet in
tbe form of a Chelsea or Greenwich Hospi
tal ” be built, furnished and officered where
the maimed, wounded and dying shall spend
tlie remnant of their days ?
“she One Humanity” is an article in which
the phrase “ibis is a white man’s country is
used as a rallying cry by tbe Democratic
party.” If we are not in error it is a phrase
used by tbe President in bis address to tbe
colored troops recently at Washington, so
that the President shares tbe sin of using a
false phrase with the Democracy. But the
entire North has been acting on the same
identical impressions ever since tbe period
that tbe people of the North hire*! their
ships, nnd employed tlieir capital in the
slave trade, by which they were enriched.
It is no more a white man's country now
than it was then. Universal equality is the
doctrine inculcated in this article, not only
equality betbru tbe law—uot political equali
ty-equality in tbe parlor, and at the
commuioii table. Why did not the writer
carry out the doctrine? It is only one step
farther. Miscegenation would be the cli
max of universal equably—tlie crowning
point of tbe equality ol the races.
Reduction ot tbe Military establishment of
the government shows to vvbut extent the
expenses of tbe government admit ot being
reduced. Gen. Grant and tbe Secretary ol War
rea tlie two great lights who have Illuminated
the path of the National rtuauces—the one by
the skill of Bis arrangements lor tbo purpose
aud the other bjr his practical ability iu car
rying them into execution. According to
tue statements of this paper “the ununul ap
propriation which the Bucuiary will ask tor
will, in ail probability, uu" u sixty millions
of dollars, less than one twentieth of what
Government had to expend during the last
year of the war.”
‘’Earnestness” is the title of the next pa
per, justifying a previous criticism on the
doilies of Governor Perry,of South Carolina,
and in our view is an aggravation of the of-1
fence of using towards that gentleman offen
sive language.
The "Correspondence” consists of letters
from Raleigh, N. C., and New Orleans. The
first is an exaggerated statement of the pe
culiarities of language of a few ul the mem
bers ot the Convention, which is nieaut as an
index to the intelligence of the men who are
clothed with legislative power in North Car
olina, while the latter represents the people
of Louisiana as possessed of a sort of chronic
discontent, ready to explode in insurrection.
The Literary department is a pleasant col
lection of paragraphs containing a variety of
brief criticisms. Tbe more formal Reviews
are admirable in their way. The notice of
"Grim’s Michael Augelo” is unfavorable as
inexact, “Poetry of the Orient,” by Alger is
an admirable critique with a full appreciation
oftbe merits of Orient*) literature. “Cole’s
Biographical Dictionshows many sins
both of commission and omission. “Two
Men”.a novel, by Elizabeth Stoddard is
praised for tbe excellence of its plot and
characterization. “Glimpses of the History
of the United States in explanation of the
Rebellion of 1860 65, by Theodore 8. May,
formerly Minister Resident of the United
States'in Switzerland," is a highly eulogistic
account of a work that pretends to represent
to the Europeans, particularly the Germans
a true narrative ot the Rebellion.*
The department of the Fine Arts is rather
meagre.

News Depot.
“THE EOUKD TABLE.
The issue for the week ending October
28tb, opens with a pleasant article on
tbe Indian Summer. “ American versus
English Rook- Making," is in reply to two
articles in tlie New York Tribune,
entitled tbe “Book Trade Sale” and “Book
making.” The real paternity of these arti
cles is attributed to au Englishman who
published au article on “B lok-'making” in
tbe New A’ork Indepenpent of 'Ock 6, 1804.
The position is taken by the writer in the
“ Round Table ’"that there is no good reasou
why a book should not be criticised as a pic
ture is; fora really well priuted book is a
work of art, aud we need not expect good
books any more than good pictures without
independent and judidious criticism, in
which opinion we toucur. We also agree
with tbe English writer aud his critic, rela
tive to the ’indiscriminate use of tinted paper’
and the “obtrqgion of advertisements oppo
site to of on the back of title pages,” &c. In
fact, this last practice is the opprotTi'iuin of
Book-making in the United States. Tlie
covers of our periodicals and most popular
works are filled with the advertisements of
publishers and ike puffs from Reviews
and Magazines. Now this is compelling the
purchaser to pay for a quantity of printed
matter from winch lie can rec ive no possible
benefit. The reasons offered in the article why
the best American work is still far behind the
best English, while between the average issues
of the leading American and English houses
there is simply uo comparison.” The writer
verifies this statement by an enumeration of
the titles of several American works that
cannot he surpassed in England for tjieir
typography and superb illustration.
The criticisms which occupy the depart
ment oftbe Review do credit to the “Round
Table.” "Froude's England ”is a most dis
criminating critique in correction of pre
judices which pervade tlie minds of almost
all readers of this portion of English history.
Reasons are given why impartial tveatmeut
ot Henry, the Eighth, has not been ob
served by Burnet, flume,Lingard Ac., but it
strikes us that however successful Mr.
Froude may have been in vindicating the
memory of that monarch from the aspersions
with which he was visited by his numerous
enemies, and although Mr. Froude establish
es the claim of Henry to the distinction of a
wise prince, he does not remove the stigma
from his memory of being one of the most
tensuul tyrants of which history makes men
tion. •
. “The three speeches brings into comparison
tbe speeches of Wendell Fbilips, Montgom
ery Blair and Mr. Seward. Tue critic views
them as the ‘’utterances of representative
men,” and as being significant of the man
ner in which their influence will be exerted
in shaping the course ot the parlies they
represent. Mr- Fbillips is rated as au ora
tor,” brilliant,' scarcastic, pointed nnd elo
quent" but as possessing noue of “the quali
ties of a statesman or legislator, and pos
terity will marvel at’the reputation which he
gained during his life.”
“Francis Joseph” is the tittle of tbo next
article which tiacee the successive steps by
which Francis Joseph, of Austria, received
liis crown o until the issue ol his Mauifesto,
September 20, 1865. The various phases of
oonecsston to popular rights after the upris
ing of the European nauons in 1848, then
the re-action in favor of Absolutism, after
the wqr in Hungary, which be subdued with
the aid of Russian bayonets, and subsequent
ly tbe war with France, tbe result of which
compelled him to renounce some of bis po
litical purposes of re-establishing a central
ized Despotism— shows the unsteadiness
of the Austrian councils. The article in tbe
Round Table well characterizes each ol
as coup d'Etat.
Tbe “Cor respond once” pleasantly relieves
the graver portions of the number. The ar
ticles headed “Art” and “Art Notes” well
sustains tbe feature of the work.
Mr. Ward’s statue oftbe “Indian Hunter” is
pronounced t 6 be equally natural aud truth
ful. _A good article lollows “On the Drama
in this Country,” iu which its paternity is in
a great mcasme traced to William Dunlap.
Jt would appear as if there was a rivalstiip
between these New Y’ork Weeklies, Che Na
tion and Tbe Round Table. Without pro
nouncing an opinion ns to their relative
merits, we have in | irritation in saying that
they will compare >vitb the best ot tbe Eng
lish Periodicals of the same character, such
as tbe Athenaeum, the Spectator, tbe Satur
day Review, in scholarship, varied informa
tion and critical ability.

Gov. Browni.ow on the Tennessee Rail
roads.—Gov. Browniow lias scut a special
message to tbe Tennessee Legislature, re
commending that the railroads be not forced
to'pay tbe interest on tbe debt due from
them to tbe State nnd to their creditors at
this time; that they have not tbe money
wherewith to pay, and that most of tbe roads
wili pass into tbe bauds ot receivers unless
tlie Stale provides some means to pay the
interest due upon endorsed bonds. If tbe
State suffers these roads to be sold, they
would be purchased by a combination of
speculators from abroad, who will manage
tbenT for their own benefit, without any re
gard for honest and' public-spirited people
who built them. They would sell for less
than half their own value, and tiualiy leave
the State to pay tbe bonds, or a larger part
of them, which result is the most that can
happen to the State, It the roads are lu the
hands of tbe companies.’
