The Savannah Daily Herald, BY S7 W. MASON A ~CpT SAMI'KI, XV. MASON KdiMr, W. T. THOMPSON, Auartalt Htlar. THI’KSDAT JANUARY 1, ÜBIi. THE POLITICAL. CALM. The temporary stillness of the political eie niema consequent upon tbe adjournment of Congress and of the Legislature of this State, is so profound that not a zephyr of excitement pi . seeds from a single point of tbe political con pass. This, however, is but the calm that precedes tbe inevitable storm. Even now its distant muttering* may be heard in the pro ceedings of most of the northern Legislatures which assembled on the Ist instant, in tbe consideration of the agitating measures pending the holiday adjournment of Con gress. Ine impending and irreversible conflict between the conservative and radical forces in these bodies, we may safely assert, has al ready taken place, and tbe unavoidable and inevitable split has begun, it was, perhaps, the design of the parties in Cougress to throw upon these bodies more proximate to, and in sympathy with tbe masses, the res pousiblyjof initiating the split. Prompted hy the wire pullers at W ashing toD, the leaders of the opposing faction, will induce the legislative bodies of which they are members to take hold of the great ques tions so pregnant with discord before Con gress shall assemble. Upon the reassembling of Congress the two parties, in conformity with strategetic schemes concocted in secret conclave during the recess, will renew the conflict over the future political destiny of the South. The cvlminatiou, or what is known in battle ns the band to hand encoun ter, must soon take place to decide the issue made up between conservatism and radical ism. As has well been said by a cotemporary, the temper of the public mind and the pus ture of public affairs conspire to render a further adjournment 'of this issue impossi ble. The Executive branch of the government, unlike the Legislature, is not ut sea, appar ently without chart or compass, upon the vital questions of the hour, hut, with the constitution as its guide, lias reached the haven of a just and wise conservatism. In verification of this we have but to cite the official proclamation of the adoption ol the Constitutional amendment by the requi site uumber of Slates —no more, and among them are included Beven of those lately in rebellion. The Provisional Governors hav ing been withdrawn nud the governments handed over to the people, is a clear recog nition of the fact in solemn form, Hint tbe Southern States are in the Union and are a portion of it, and are therefore entitled to all the rights and privileges of States. Upon what plea can they now be deprived of the position which they are thus recognized to hold, or be remandcu to a territorial condition To make this rid'eu lous hypothesis of Thad Stevens the ruling policy of the Government, would be a re traction of the declaration of the Chief Exe cutive officer, that “Mr whole number of Stale a in the United States is thirty-six"; branding il as a lie, and the official act of lire President as a farce. The withdrawal of Provisional Governor, is another form of recognition quite ns expres sive as the other. For if they arc not States they have no light to elect Governors. Terri toriol Governors nre appointed by the Presi dent oid confirmed by the Senate Thus in tv, . v pucsiblc form the Federal Government has declared them to be States, and yet tbe tierce opponents iu Congress to justice and equality, before the law, are almost moving heaven and earth to render nugatory the de liberate action of the President and the bind ing euarautees of the Constitution. The proclamation of Mr. Seward announc iog the ratification of tbe constitutional amendment prohibiting slavery by the ade quate number of States, places the radicals iu a most embarrassing dilemma, and front which they vainly attempt to extricate them selves by asserting that the Southern States were not needed to perfect the work of ameuding the Constitution The New York Independent, which is the organ of Mr. Sumner, says “the Constitution was amend ed months ago. Three quarters of the loyal States were all the votes needed to the con summation of this illusUiouß measure. A 8 soon as these votes were given, the Secre tary s proclamation should have appeared.” Il cuarges that Mr. Seward’s ‘‘long delay” has deirauded the radical party out of the fruits of their victory. The Freedmen in Interior Georgia.— Tut- Macon Telegraph of the 29th inst 9ays: “ We ale gratified to be able to state that we have information from a number of counties in this section of the State, that large numbers of the treedmeu have come forward and ptoffered to make contracts for labor for the coming year. Many wlio had left their homes altogether have returned to the “old plantation" and asked to be taken back on any terms that will secure them protection and a living. We commend the example to the colored people generally. They will find their best interest in a close adherence to home and regular, faithful labor for their employers.’ General Grant has issued an order revok ing the recent one in reference to civil em ployes of the military service, and directing army commanders to reduce the number of civilians in military employment to the low est possible point. At all places where the requirements of the service will permit, de tails from the ranks are to bk made to super cede civil employes, excepting clerks, and f.r all positions in which civilians must be retained those who have served in the army are to have the preference. Those who have never been in the military service are to be discharged as fast as they can be replaced by those who have. The Chain Gang —The Augusta Consti tutionalist alluding to the chain gang which has been inaugurated by the military and municipal authorities in this city, for the punishment of vagrants and vicious frecd men, and who have been consigned to the charge of Alderman Gue, Chairman of the Streets and Lanes Committee, by whom they are made to do good service, remarks : ‘This will not only have the effect of de leting ot ben from crime—for they have a singular prejudice against manual labor ot this son—but will do much towards putting •tteois lo good order. Anything to keep the idle at work—for while at work they cannot be carrying out their thelviog mischievous plant. MAP OP KOROP*. The death of a royal peraooage ia Europe iovariably leads to re part* iavolviog new territorial snaagemtaU. The death of tbe King of Belgium has set tbe inventive facul ties of politicians at work. They have con structed anew map of Europe, in which Bel gium is partitioned between France and Prussia—in other words, a general war is to result from the death of the Belgic king, to preserve the equilibrium of Europe. There i* uot the smallest probability that France would undertake a war of territorial ag grandizement in Europe, menaced as the is with war by the United States in Mexico. Whatever may be the covert purposes of Louis Napoleon, and the exteat of his ambi tion, the times arc not propitious for the con summation of such designs. A war on both sides of the Atlantic at tbe same time is more than his resources, great as they are, would bear. Independently of this consideration be baa other ass airs on hand demanding all bis atteo lion. The Kingdom of Italy ia as yet imper fectly consolidated. Affairs at Rome are in a very unsatisfactory state. France ia neces sarily tbe ally of the King of Sardinia,as Aus tria is ot the Pope. Thera is an unadjusted quarrel between his Holiness and the Pied montese monarch, in which the interests of the church are directly involved, as well as political interests An attempt to partition Belgium would bring England into the Held, and the old al liance between her and Austria would he re newed as a counterpoise to France. Tbe na tural enmity between Austria and Prussia would he aggravated by any scheme that looked to the aggrandizement of Prussia. Another inducement to leave tbe present arrangements undisturbed is the magnitude of the present militaiy.establishments of the European powers. There is an evident .desire to reduce their expense, which a general war would largely augment, to say nothing of the alisolute necessity of the continuance of the entente cordiale between England and France, to pre serve the integrity of the Turkish Empire from the gtasp ot Russia.

A Practical Idea. —The Agent of the Frccdmau's Bureau in Macon is engaged in taking the census of the negroes in that city for file purpose of finding out all who ure uot legitimately employed, aud 9endiug them to some sections that are in need of labor. This is decidedly a good movement, aud if carried out to the letter in all cities, will doubtless, relieve them of a great deal ol mischief which is committed by vagrants who have no honest way of making a living IN UENEHIt. —A heavy snow lias fallen on the plains.

The Heruld of Saturday says the sleigh-bells were gingling merrily through the streets of that city lor the first time this season. There was some fighting between tie whites and blacks in New Orleans on Christ mas day, during which three policemen were severely wounded. About forty negroes were ariestea. Armed bands of uegroes lately visited the plaotation of Major Logan, near Shreve port, Louisiana, aud made prisoners of all the white people they could find in the neighborhood, treating them In a most dis graceful manner. The military sent a guard of troops, who dispersed the negroes, taking I rum them alnrut fifty stand of arms. The pretext lor this outrage was the discovery of a murdered negro near the plantation.
