SATURDAY MORNING, SBPT. 23,1866.
Reading Matter on Every Ta gt.
Matin of the Hagro.
Os course slavery is dead. Everybody
in the South now understand# that. Hut
the death of slavery carries with it cer
tain incidents whioh many do not seem to
understand. The difference between the
status of the negro as a slave and hie
status as a freeman, is very great, and
will necessarily involve a thorough change
m our political system. Have our people
reflected upon the oonsequenoe of this
charge, and Tally prepared their minds
to meet it? For nothing is more certain
than (bat grave questions of policy arising
from it will have to be dearly defined,
discussed, and settled before ouj Repre
sentatives will be admitted to seats in the
National Congress.
The sooner we meet these questions the
better. We accepted the abolition of
slavery as a fact whioh we could not
avoid. We shall have to aooept other
factß, incident to this, before we will be
allowed representation. If not allowed
representation in Congress, the Southern
States will continue to be held as they
now are, —as revolted provinces wholly
beyond the pale of Civil Law, and at the
meroy of Military Power.
We must not only acoustom ourselves
to regard the negro as a freeman, entitled
to the rights of a freeman, but we muqt
abolish all those State laws, and parts of
oriminal codes, whioh contemplate him
only as a slave. A freemaj is not noces
satily a citizen; but freemen in every
oountry, whelher oitizens, aliens or deni
zens, arc entitled to certain rights now
denied the negro by our civil and penal
codes. These rights we may grant or not
as wo sec proper; but if they are not
granted, our State will continue to bo
ruled by Provost Marshals.
Men arc aspiring to scats in the ap
proaching State Convention. Have these
men seriously reflected upon the duties
to bo performed, and tho grave responsi
bilities to bo assumed, by each individual
member of that Convention 1 Have they
seriously reflected upon the questions
which are certain to ariße in that Conven
tion? and, if so, are they prepared to
fearlessly assume the responsibility of a
deoidod stand upon those issues ? How
do they propose voting, for instance, upon
a resolution declaring the ordinance of
seoession unconstitutional, and, therefore,
null and void, ab initio f How do they
propose voting upon a proposod constitu
tional amendment regulating and prescrib
ing the rules of testimony in oivil tribu
nals whore freodmen are parties to the
suit ?
It is not neoessary, under tho Federal
Constitution, that a freeman shallbeaoiti
zen in order to become a freeholder. What
protootlon do candidates to the State
Convention proposo throwing around the
rights of blaoks who aro nofr, or may be
come, freeholders ?
Aliens aud denizens aro entitled to a
fair and impartial trial before our civil
tribunals for misdemeanors. Rut aliens
and denizens are oompelent witnesses in
suoh cases. How shall this bo with the
negro, who is now a free denizen of
Georgia ? This question is oevtaiu to
arise, and will have io be met. Are men
who seek the position of Delegate to our
State Convention prepared to aot with
deoision and promptness upon this ques
tion ? They should reflect well upon Ihe
duties and responsibilities they seek to
assume. That. Convention will bo some
thing different from ordinary legislative
assemblies, whore men are expected to
make Aippant speeohes aud prepare reso
lutions oourting public favor. It will
present no field for oratory or impassioned
declamation. It will present a wide field
for solemn duty, the judicious perform
anoe of which will requiro a clear head,
steady nerve, and strong common sense,
oupled with an honest purpose. Wo
have such men in Goorgia. Let them now
be oalled into action. Their services will
be needed.
President Johnson'* Home.
The former dwelliug house of President
Johnson is a two story brick houso in
Greenville, Tonn. Tho house is mush
dilapidated, having been usod as a hospi
tal and headquarters by both armies.
The library has been culled and is now
piled up in one corner. The shop whero
he worked is a little frame, gable end to
ward the street, twelve feet by fifteen,
and standing alone. On a signboard over
the door (whioh is in the oentre, Hanked
by two Bin all windows,) are the simple
words :
A. JOHNSON,
taiior.
Important Uceislou*.
Attorney General Speed has decided
that persons, who were formerly in the
naval servioe of the United Slates aud
aooepted employment in the rebel servioe,
and who have not forfeited their oitizen
sbip by joining in tbe rebellion, oan en
gage in any pursuit or occupation open to
other oitizens, prior to receiving a pardon
from the President. They are liable at
any time, however, to be tried, convictod
and punished for their treason.
Tin Indians.
In lb. ■ ndian Council, on the 12th, the
Creeks m..ke a lengthy Btatement relative
to their action in the war, aaying the
names of their ohiefs, affixed to” treaties
with the rebels, were used without their
knowledge ; and the samo was true with
regard to the Indians of the Plaios.
Jamea Y. Brame and Thoe. 0. Glasscook
are announced as candidates for the May

Generals Lee and Johnson, and Gener

For the Daily Sun.
Ed. Sun The few counties whioh have
plaoed men in nomination ns candidates
to represent them in the State Convention
teem to have done so with but ono object
in view—that of obeying an invitation of
the Provisional Governor. I understand
the work of the Oouvention to be, that of
restoring the State of Georgia to its prop
er, or former relations with, the general
government, and to provide means by
which the State machinery may be put in
running order How this id to be done is
a question, or the work the Convention
has to do. Many thiifk that the amend
ing the State Constitution, abolishing and
prohibiting slavery In Georgia, is all that
has to be dons to secure Georgia a rep
reeentation in the Federal Congress and
remove the government troops from the
Stato. Both of these objects being very
desirable, the people should, therefore,
know well the sentiments of those to
whom they oonfida this very important
work. Georgia was supposed to have
been severed from the Union by the pas
sage of an ordinance of secession ; and ita
supporters claimed the act. to be a consti
tutional remedy for a supposed or real
wrong, inflicted by the general govern
ment. The government not accepting se
cession as being legrlly and lawfully light,
refused to acknowledge the constitution
ality of Georgia’s ordinance of secession,
and enforced her supremacy by military
power An acknowledgment of this power
ha# been made and the fact accepted by
the Southern armies. It now remains for
Georgia (through her convention) to ao
knowlodgolhcunoonslKutionality of tbs or
dinance of secession, as it passed her con
venlion on the 19th day of January, 1861.
Iffiis done, nnd tho Stale will bo in theory
and pruqtioo with the Federal government.
Though I am only a private citizen of tho
State of Georgia, yet I am prepared to say,
Georgia will never get her representatives
into the Federal Congress until she de
nounces secession an unconstitutional act.,
and all the State did by and under its au
thority null and void. Henco the impor
tance of the peoplo knowing the senii-u
merits of those they send to the Conven
tion. Another important subject may be
presented for the consideration of the
Convention: that of tiullVage : and shou and
the action of the Convention be other than
that of republican, senators and represen
tatives from Georgia will not be admitted
to seats in tho Federal Congress ; because
the aot would he in conflict with a repub
lican government.
Yours, very truly,

It c,MI LI ten II Platform iu
aatla.
Theiirst twooonsist of thanks to the
army and navy aud Providettoe for resent
victories.
The third exlonds a cordial weieome
aud oonfideuce to President Johnson,
pledging him unanimous good will and
support in his efforts to establish govern
ment. in the South on the basis of exact
justioe to all.
The fourth reaffirms the platform of the
last National Convention on the subject of
slavory, and asks that there be no relaxa
tion by Congress or the Administration,
of the vigor or vigilanoa in tho govern
ment of the revolted States, which would
put at hazard the rights of the people to
whom the national faith is pledgod, or
which would leave in Southern society
tho seeds of the national crime—slavery.
The fifth agrees with the Republicans
of Pennsylvania that the people lately in
rebellion oannot be safely intrusted with
the politioal rights they forfeited, until
they secure to all men within their borders
tho inalienable right to liberty aud the
pursuit of happness; aod calls upon
Congress to see that the loyal people,
white and blaok, shall have the most, per
fect guarantees for their safety, before
any final steps be taken toward restoring
tho revolted people of the South, to their
forfeited rights.
The sixth declares that no part of the
powers of the Government can bo safely
committed to tho Southern men lately in
rebellion and arms, or to the Northern
men who, at Chicago, declared the Exper
iment ofSvar to restore the Union a fail
ure, &o.
The seventh says that no confidence
ought to bo placed in professions of or
ganisations that, declared tbo necessary
protection of the polls from tho assault of
ruffians and traitors, to be a shameful
violation of the Constitution whioh ought
to be resisted, and that now seeks to re
instate itself in the power by the nomina
tion of soldiers, and passing resolutions
of confidence in a Republican Adminis
tration.
The eighth says we have no new theo
ries in relation to negro suffrage, but
opposes allowing tho elective franchise to
rebels aud traitorous politicises, while
loyal men who have borne and shed
their blood in our Nation’s defense are
excluded, aud Congress should maintain
the public faith toward the freedmea
while it provides for the peace, solvency
and seourity of the country.
After addresses from General Butler and
others, the Commission adjourned.

THE LATEST NEWS
FROM BRAZIL.
New York, Sept. 19.—The Herald's
Rio Janeiro correspondent furnishes ad
ditional interesting intelligence regatding
the South American war. We have al
ready announced the visit of the Emperor
to the soenopf hostilities iu the province
of Rio Janeiro. There he started for
the frontier to havo a confer® lloo with his
two allies, the Presidents of the Argen
tine Confederation and of Uruguay. A
little eteam ram for the Brazilian navy
bad arrived from France. Others had
been nearly completed at Rio Janeiro,and
it was said that an American General, who
had just left there for the United States
carried with him a oommission for the
construction of iron clads for the Empe
ror in this oountry. Volunteering for the
Brazilian army was very aotivo, in the
provinces on the first call for troops, but
in Rio Janeiro it had become necessary
to commenoe consctipting, whioh was
being carried on with great vigot and
with but little ceremony. Officers attend
ed by guards station themselves at the
most frequented places iu the principal
thoroughfares aud seize and send to the
army rendezvouses all passing men and
able boys who could tlot show clear cases
of exemption. Civil officers of the Gov
ernment who did not volunteer would be
draited, and be forever afterwards incapa
pable of holding similar positions.
Tne prospects of the coffee crop in Bra

INTBUNAL EF,VENUE.
The entire revenue reporta from inter
na! revenue from the Ist July last up to,
and inolusivo of to day amounts to the
handsome sura of $80,479,602 41; this
far exceeds tho, expectations of the oom
miooioncr, and in fact is a much greater
sum than the most sanguine well wisher
of t lie Government has calculated upon
The receipts today amount to $1,815,-

PAKDOKS.
Over one hundred pardons weregrauled
to Bouthern men to-day by the President,
a plurality to Alabamians, and majority
to Alabamians aud Virginians.
FRAUDS IN THE PAY DEPARTMENT.
A oareful scrutiny of the new counter
feit one hundred dollar coupon interest
notes, by all the experts at the Treasury
Department, has convinced them that the
note was printed from the original dies on
bad paper, aud wore engrAved outside of
the Treasury. At the commencement of
greenback manufacture, by the term of
tho contract with the engravers of groon-
back plates, the dies were to bo given up
to the Treasury Department when it
ohose to take the manufacture of ourren
cy into its own hands. Secretaries Chase
aud Fessenden made demands for the
platob, during their t3rms of office, but
iioither succeeded in getting hold of all
the stockaaud consequently did not pay
for tho plates. Upon the accossioaof Mr.
McCullough to the Secretaryship, the en
gravers made a demand upon him far
payment, alleging that they had delivered
all the stock. This allegation was denied
iu a counter report from the Printing Bu
reau. But through some chicanery the
report never fell uuder the eye of the Sec
retary au*t all transactions between out
side engravers and tho Treasury Depart
ment were closed and settled by the pay
ment of the claim. Jl’he counterfeit note
is made of the back of a 5 per cent, in
terest note of the same denomination, the.
scroll ana latlio are alike with the excep
tion of the central portion, where the in
terest is computed, the lettering of ihe
computation is counterfeited, the balanoe
oi the back it is believed has been print
ed from Ihe missing portions of ihe stock,
whioh has somehow come ibto the pos
session of the former. This opinion is
shared by all experts in tho Treasury De
partment.
CORRUPTION IN THE PAY DEPARTMENT.
The Timcs's special esys that upon
suggestions of corruption among the pay
masters of the Department of Missouri,
the Government has seat a special inspec
tor to that department to investigate the
matter. The inspector returned last Sat
urday having in custody Paymaster Holt,
who was arrested upou various charges
of corruption, aud the inspector repre
sents that matters in tne paymaster’s de
partment in Missouri are generally con
ducted in an unacuimonly loose manner.
In the Treasury Department a rule that
no person, other than those of note print
ing department, shall visit the rooms
where the greenbacks are prepared,unless
upon special order from the Secretary of
the Treasury. Occasionally the Secreta
ry has given permits to visit these rooms.
It is now discovered that some of these
persons have taken advantage of the
privilege thus extended and have made
themselves familiar with the intricate
machinery of the establiement, thereby
enabling them to counterfeit the National
currency. Secretary MoCullooh has now
directed that no person other than the
employees of the printing department
shall under any pretense be permitted to
enter the rooms above moutioned
