The Savannah Daily Herald. by s. w. mason & CO. SSMtIi.W. MiMM KtlHor. \\ . T. TIIOMMOV. \ssm imtr Kditor. >AVANXAH, TUESDAY XOVEMBKR 2-, THK NEGRO St RKRAUK gt'ESTIOI. We have been led to the consideration of this absorbing question again,by the authorita tive announcement, emanating from an Ameri can United States Senator, Mr. Doolittle, that Generals Grant and Sherman agree with him in the opinion that the process of forc ing the election franchise on the Freedmen „f the South by Congressional interference would inevitably involve a war of races, which might entail a civil war of wider di mensions even than the last. The convic tions of these distinguished Generals must be sustained by all wise and thoughtful men acquainted with the subject. They hold, ' says Mr. Doolittle, to the doctrine of Mr. Jefferson, as announced by himself : “Tnat nothing is more certainly written in the book of late than that these people (the negroes) are to be free ; nor is it less certain that the two races, aqualty free, can not live in the same Government—nature, habit, opinions have drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. It is still in our power to direct the process of Emancipa tion, and in such slow degree as that the evil will wear off insensibly, and their place be pan passu filled up by tree white labor ers. If, on the contrary, it is left to force itself, our human nature must shudder at the prospect held up. We should in vain look for an example in the Spanish deportations or depletion of the Moors.” The gentlemen, and South, holding extreme views on this subject, are, id our humbld opinion, by the policy they advo cate bringihg injury rather than benefit tipftQ ■a race they profess an abiding friendship for. Some of them are undoubtedly honest in their convictions; but the majority, . are of opine, unquestionably have polit ical axes to grind, and the Freedmen shall, nolens volens turn the grind stone no matter "how much it wearies his back or tires his arms. <* The fortune of war has bestowed freedom upon three or four millions of human beings previously held is slavery. This fact is ac cepted without murmer or question by the white population of the South, and they, at least, are honestly striving to do the best they can with the circumstances that sur round t'iem, and are working loyally and truly U> restore the country to a condition of thrilt and prosperity. Probably not more than one out of every hundred of the blacks thus made free are capable of appreciating either the duties or meeting the responsibilities of freedom.— They have not had the opportunity of pas 2 iog through a probationary term—no time in which to prepare for the great change, was allowed them. In an instant their poli tical status was changed, and they were thrust upon the world to take care of them selves as best they could, with the vague idea running through their heads that their em ancipation meant freedom from labor, free dom from responsibility, with illimitable supplies of everything to eat, drink and wear. How sadly they were disappointed in their hopes, and how wofully they failed try meet the expectations of their especial, self-constituted friends, is well known to, and generally acknowledged by intelligent and candid Federal officers who have been in command in various parts of the Southern States. Thinking men, and even intelligent freedmen with whom we have conversed, ' knew how it would be, and grieved over acts they only anticipated, but they also | knew that time and experience alone would settle the question. Th«se who are truly and conscientiously desirious to promote the well-being of the Freedmen of the South, as we are, know that the first thing to be done is to educate them in the arts ot labor and the •various occupations—to train them up to habits of industry and self-reliance—so that they uiay hereafter be able to take care of themselves and their families. Heretofore everything has been provided for them and their families, which has, necessarily, begot ten a teeling of dependence and precluded that free thought and action so essential for success in the departments of industry. Here after they must support, by their labor, under self direct ion, hot only themselves, but all •who are dependent upon tbem. This is a fearful responsibility to devolve all at once, upon the uneducated, inexperienced Freed man —a man in years and strength, but an, infant so far as knowledge of the ways ot the world is concerned ; and uqjess he is taught by those in authority as well as the people, and aided in many ways and at all seasons, the boon of freedom which has been conferred upon him will become a direful aud tremen- dous curse, not only to bimselt and his pos terity, but to the whole country. Yet in the face of indisputable facts like these —in the face of the great truth demonstrated at hun dreds ot military posts throughout the coun try, and at thousands of other places, that the Freedmen as a mass, are as yet, incom petent, from a lack of knowledge, to support themselves honestly by their own labor; that thousands are yet supported by the Gov ernment aod scores ot thousands by private individuals; that notwithstanding all this public and private aid, an immense amount of suffering exists among them, which is de pleting their numbers at a frightful rate , and in lace of the incontrovertible truth that ■while in the transition state they are now passing through, they need and are entitled to the sympathy of ail true philanthropists to enable tbem to surmount the difficulties . and responsibilities of their new position to meet which they ate comparatively feeble and helpleS3, it is gravely proposed toim pose new burdens, additional responsibilities, t and serious duties upon them, by compelling ! them to accept the right of suffrage. To this ad thoughtful and patriotic men should be opposed, tor the present at least. It will lie time enough to discuss this part of the ques lion years hence, when the improving iu tlneoces of experience have demonstrated l. that the Freedman have become sufficiently l advanced uud educated in the various avocu- tious us industry to enable tbem to cam an H honest living by tbuir own hands, just as F w hilc Un u have been compelled to do from if 1 ‘»ii< Immotoriil, I hen again the proposition to cooler the I, tight oi suffrage upon the freedmen at once L Without probation or preparation, Is not only ( ‘ "htiary to the laws of the couutry, aud the i policy "I the tiuvnratMNit, but It U fraught L with injustice to emigrants from abroad It I lias lei II 111 pulley ol the I'nltati Hlales to 6 rncmii ige emigration from Kuiope, Tim [ resources ot the I u ion have been greatly I ti«v«io|wd, aud its Strength Untvused by this emlgtfetioo Yet, wh«B ths intelligent and educated Irishman, German, French to an, Spaniard or Scotchman comes among us, with the view of becoming a citizen, be is told that the law requires be should remain a certain number of years in the laod, after making a due application to a proper Court, before he can obtain his naturalization pa pers and become a voter. To place such a bar be:ore educated, experienced and useful, men—to compel them to wait years before the privilege of citizenship is conferred upon them—and at the same time bestow the | right of suffrage upon the just enfranchised, ! ignorant, incompetent, inexperienced freed man, would not only be absurd iu the high est degree, but would lie supremely unjust. LITKHARY Commercial Periodicals — Commercial ami Financial Chronicle.—We have before called attention to this able Periodical published weekly in New York, by Wm. B. Dana & Cos. The number before us issued on the 18th, is highly interesting in its remarks on financial topics. The articles on “I’he De cline in Government Securities,” on “Cur leney Depreciation and the Gold Notes and on the Southern States' Debts” are marked !>y sound knowledge of principles and ample information. The variety of statistical de tails must recommend it to the general reader while the view presented of the slate of the New York markets must give it special value to mercantile men in all parts of the country. Merchant's Marfa tine for November. —This Periodical well sustains the reputation it en joyed under the Editorship of Freeman Hunt, both tor the fullness of its fiuancial and com mercial information, and the general pertin ence and propriety ol its original remarks on the phenomena of finance and trade. the hew EMUASSV to MEXICO. Recent events, such as the late appoint ment of a full Minister to the “Republic of Mexico,” in the person of General Logan— the forthcoming of certain military and naval orders that are said to be in process of exe cution—the emphatic public endorsement by General Grant in New York, a few days since, of the remark that “ fouler wroDgs never outraged human rights than the pre sent occupatiou of Mexico by the French,” seems to make it certain that the Adminis tration is determined to assume a positive attitude upon the subject ot the Monroe doc trine. If we may judge from the late utterances of the new Minister he is likely to prove a troublesome envoy for Maximillian. He is not accredited to the Emperor's Government but to that of Juarez. Yet in his capacity of American Minister be may claim the right of transit through anv part of the country, and should Maximilian interfere to prevent an interview with the Republican Chief he will thus provoke a declaraton of hostilities 1 by the American Government, which would make the latter the active ally of the former and his Republicans. Maximilian has lately declared that oppo sition to his government is practically at an end; that the leaders ot the “rebels” has abandoned Mexican soil, and that the small and scattered bands still in arms, are rob bers, who are not entitled to the rights of war, and are to be executed, on the instant when captured. In view of these facts the appointment of Geu. Logan is highly significant. He, in his Brooklyn speech on the 3d inslant, said if he were President “be would order the Fremch out of Mexico in a hurry, and he believed they would go.” Immediately after this speech was made the speaker found himself gazetted a Minister resident to Mexico. The President evidently made the appoint ment because be approved the sentiments uttered by Gen. Logan. Very likely it is ex pected that the takiug of this attitude will of itself work out the desired result; but every fact indicates tbqt tbe Washington Govern ment means to enforce tbe Mouroe Doctrine in the case of Mexico, no matter what may be the consequences. —The Charleston Courier has returned into the hands of its old owners, Messrs. A. 8. Willington & Cos. Iu a card to the pub lic the proprietors express their “deep sense of the high tone and honorable conduct of Mr. Geo. Wbittemore, under whose more immediate supervision the paper has for some rime been. Olten occupying' an em barrassing and delicate position, it is but simple justice to say that he has acted with fidelity and regard for the interests of its proprietors which command our acknowl edgements.” Mr. Geo. Wbittemore is the correspondent of the New York Times, to whom the paper was assigned upon the occupation of the city by the Federal forces. —The financial mission of Gov.

The triangular contest for tbe Mayoralty of the citv of New York, seems to he a matter of some interest in that vicinity, if we may judge from the number of candidates already |in the field. The Democracy glorying in j their strength, have two distinguished men ' in nomination; Jno. T. Hoffman and the 1 present incumbent, Mr. Gunther. The Ke publicana hacked by disaffected Democrats, I hoping to achieve success through the di ( vison of the Democracy, have presented the | name of Mr. Hccker, who had beeu previ ously nominated by the Citizen's Association. The fight is complicated, hut a'tractive, and the result will he looked for with interest. Much doubt is expressed as to the ability of the Democracy to carry the city under any circumstances, hut if the candidates are nu merous and the party is sidit up into fac tions, its deteat is almost certain. Mr John Van Buren, one of the sachems of the Tammany organization, made a sjteech on the occasion of the nomination of Mr. Hoff man, in which be denounced the Mozart wing ot the party as traitors in disguise, se cretly co-operating with the Republicans to break down the gr eat Democratic party of the city. The denunciation seem*- to be merited, as this faction, under tbe direction of Fer nando Wood, have nominated Mr. Hecker, a Republican, who receives the support of the Tribune and the party of which it is the organ. A Radical on Reconstruction, —Hon. S. Colfax made a speech on the 18th, in Wash ington, which may be regarded as an expo sition of the policy of the radicals, and in which he attempted to show by references to the acts of recent Conventions of the Southeru States, that those States were not yet prepared for re-admission to the Union. He declared, first, that their Conventions should declare the various ordinances of Se cession null and void—not, as some have done, merely repealing them —but absolutely without any force and effect. Second, that tbeir Legislatures should ratify the Constitu tional Amendment abolishing slavery. Third, that they shall formally repudiate the rebel debt. He also stated “the terms upon which,” he thought, “there was no division among the loyal men of the Union.” These were : “ First—That the Declaration of Indepen dence must be recognized as the law ot the laud, and every man, alien aud native, white and black, protected in the inalienable and God given rights of ‘life, liberty and tbe pur suit oi „appiuess.’ ” Second—The amendments of their State Constitutions, which have been adopted by many of their Conventions so reluctantly, under the pressure of dispatches from the President and Secretary of State, should be ratified by a majority of .their people. We all know that but a very small portion of their voters participated in the election of the delegates to those Conventions, and nearly, if not all, the Conventions have declared them in force without any ratification by the people. When this crisis has passed, can they not turn around and say that these were adopted tender duress by delegates elected by a meager vote under Provisional Governors and military authorities, .and never ratified by a popular vote? And could thav not turn over the anti-Lccompton argu ment against us and insist, as we did, that a Constitution not ratified by the people may have eftect, but uo moral effect whatever. Third—The President can on all occa sions insist that they snould elect Congress man who could take the oath prescribed by the act of 1862; but, iu defiance of this, and insulting the President and the country, they have, in a large majority of instances, voted down mercilessly Union men who could take the oath, and elected those who boasted that they could not, aud would feel disgraced if they could. Fourth—While it must be expected Jhat a minority ot these States will cherish for years, perhaps, tbeir feelings of disloyalty, tbe country has a right to expect that before their members are admitted to a share iu the government of this country, a majority of the people of each State should give evi dence of their earnest aud cheerful loyalty, not by such speeches as are so common that they submitted the issue to the arbitrament of war, hut that they are willing to stand by aud fight for the flag of the country against all ils enemies at home or abroad. The danger now is in too much precipitation. Let us rather make haste slowly, aud we can then hope that the foundations of our gov ernment when thus reconstructed on the basis of indisputable loyalty, will be as eter nal as the stars. Commenting on the above speech the Na tional Intelligencer says— It declares that, “translated into simple words, it means no admission to the South ern members during the next session of Congress. If a man lias aided or given com fort to a rebel soldier, he cannot take the oath. The South must be- put on probation and kept on probation. It is not enough that Congress shall exert its power to expel any member of treasonable stamp and utieratices since the war, but the oath must be insisted on. This, iu effect, however sugared over is the theory of hold ing the South with an armed hand on the basis of reconstruction, as opposed to the theory of restoration. The adroit attempt at effecting a compromise between conserva tism and ultra radicalism is one of Mr. Col fax’s failures. There is in it more of the politician than the statesman.” The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier characterizes the speech aa a bid for the Speakership, and says it will most likely be accepted by Congress uotwith standing the fact that its tone is well under stood to be more radical than the President's well-known position. The same writer says: “There is a little inside history to this speech, which is regarded as the opening ball of the campaign, that should be repeat ed. The remarks which Mr. Colfax deliver ed, are very different from those which were subsequently published. The latter were far less radical than the former. The ver sion which appears in print was written out after the delivery of the speech by its author, and the discrepancy is very marked indeed. Why there should have been such a sudden change, is not kuown ; but those who heard it, and then read the speech in print, are very capable of commenting upon it. Mr. Colfax endeavored to see tbe President ou the day the*epeeeli was to be delivered, but did not succeed, though, on yesterday, be had quite an audience witli his Excellency. There is no defubt but what tbe President regarded tbe speech as a doubtful approval of the reconstruction policy of the Adminis tration, mid that he did not hesitate to tell the ex-Syenker so.” Aid »ok this SoCth. —A meeting to insti tute measures for supplying tbe urgent wants of the destitute people ol the South, without distinction ot colgp, was held on Tuesday, night at the Brooklyn, N.

Years of experience and a correspondence extending throughout all nationalities of the habitable globe have turned theories into facts and established a basis from which we need not err. We are not surprised at such fiicts as the following—although the persona who write them are. We know the persons and cir cumstances, hence feel at liberty to indorse their statements; “Nxw Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24,1563 Dear Sir,—l have been afflicted many years %ith severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting some friends in New York who were using Plantation Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I .com menced with a small wine-glassful after dinner. Feel ing better by degrees, in a few days I was astonished to find the coldness and cramps had entirely left me, and I could sleep the night, through, which l have uot done for years. I feel like another being. My ajjpe tite and strength have also greatly improved by the use of the Plantation Bitters. Respectfully, Judith Russel.” Rkedsuury, Wis., Sept 16, 1863. • * * I have been in the army hospitals for four teen months—speechless and nearly dead.
