BULLOCK REMOVES THE LEGAL DIS ABILITIES OF COLORED VOTERS. Our readers will have observed a tele graphic dispatch in our issue of yesterday in which Mr. Bullock announces that by vir tue of the authority in him vested by the 17th Section of the Code, he has suspended the collection of all poll taxes until the next session of the General Assembly. We have not the Code before us, and do not know what authority it gives Mr. Bullock to suspend the collection of. taxes, but the motive which prompted the exercise of that authority in this instance is very manifest. By the 2d Section of Article n of the new Constitution, a voter is required to “have paid all taxes which may have been required of him, and which he may have had an opportunity of paying according to law, for the year next preceding the election;” and by the 29th section of Article I of the same instrument, the levy of a poll tax of one dollar is author ized only for .educational purposes. It is this poll tax of one dollar upon negroes which Mr. Bullock characterizes as “onerous,” and from which his proclamation is to exempt that cIass of onr population. The non-pay ment of the tax—the only tax which ninety- nine oat of a hundred of the negroes in the State are called on to pay—would, under the law, operate as a bar to the exercise of the franchise in the approaching Presidential election, and it is to relieve his loyal colored subjects of this “onerous" bnrthen, and to se cure their votes for his party in November, that the Bullock has issued his proclamation. In this proclamation, Bullock says the tax was levied under authority of the Constitu tion of 1865, bat omits to state that the same tax is authorized by the Atlanta instrument called the new Constitution, and that the pay ment of it is obligatoiy under existing laws. When we consider that it is the only tax that reaches the negro voters, and that it is exclu sively for educational purposes, the interven tion of Executive authority, so clearly in vio lation of the principles of 'equal justice, and for purely partisan purposes, is deserving of universal reprobation. It is a known fact that out of the ninety thousand colored voters in the State not more than five hundred have paid their poll tax, nor are they likely to do so, now that they will be allowed to exercise that, to them, priceless privilege of the free- man, relieved from the compliance with its concomitant obligation. Thus the educa tional fond of onr impoverished State, in order that the votes of her newly enfranchised negro suffragans may be cast against the rights and interests of her people, will be de prived of something less than $100,000. Mr. Bullock professes to be the friend of^ education, and especially of negro education, and be . should teach them that among the glorious rights and privileges of free citizen ship there.are others besides the privilege of voting—among them those of pleading and' being impleaded, of suing and being sued, and above all that of paying taxes. It seems, however, that Bullock and his carpet-bagger confreres have no higher aim than to teach the toil idea how to shoot and vote for their party. The day will come when these deluded people will find out that these attainments are but a small part and not the best part of the educa tion of a good and prosperons citizen. Secret Trusts—The United States Su preme Court has recently made an important decision on the snbject of the transfers of land, professing to be an absolute convey ance, bnt accompanied with a concealed ver bal agreement between the parties, securing a benefit to the grantor at the expense of his creditors. The court says that the law will not permit a debtor in foiling circumstances to convey his lands by deed without reserva tions, and yet occupy it for a limited time for Ms own benefit. Hence, when a debtor, in pursuance of a private understanding, retains possession, rent free, for one year, of land sold by him, such conduct creates a secret trust for his benefit and renders the convey ance fraudulent as to creditors, and void. And it made no difference, in-the legal aspect of the case before the court, that the interest reserved, was not of great yatoe, and that the debtor did not intend to defraud his creditors. '• Radical Campaign Documents—Foeney, ih'liis issue of Monday last looks up a chap ter of horrors for his readers with the follow ing head lines displayed in large letters: Democratic Murders—Moire ' Fruits of the Brodhead Letter—Sheriff and Judge Assassina ted—A Deputy Sheriff and a Colored Man Tied Together and Shot by Kuidux in Arkansas—Bru tal Murder of a Colored Member of the South Carolina Legislature—Escape.of the Assassins— They 'could not be Recognized. Such are the arguments in favor of Negro- Radical rule at the South, end the snbstitntion of military despotism in lien of Constitution al government, that grow out Of the misrule which the Radicals seek to perpetuate. Thus lawless despotism furnishes its own justifica tion." “Let us have peace! ” SV'-.i^OURAGE M^TAKD FIRM! In V spirited article oil the result of the late elections, the Louisville Journal gives ut terance to the following encouraging aid well-timed reflections, which we adopt and commend to the thoughtful consideration of onr readers. The Journal says:. “The result, we confess, is well 'adapted' to dishearten Democrats .everywhere; but it should not he allowed to plunge Democri anywhere into despair. Far from it. It should rather nerve them with the sublime conrageaTpara “We must not give up the fight. We can not Onr liberties are at stake. By every thing which makes , life dear to ns, we are bonnd to fight the good fight of conservatism until we lay hold of victory, whether the day of our victory be near or far. W must finish our course. Our ultimate triumph is sure. The Presidential election, we do not forget is less than three weeks off and, without some extraordinary change in onr favor, we may not triumph in that election; bnt, if we do not wo shall triumph afterwards. The passions of the war may yet blind the people to their real interests; but this blindness can not last always. It cannot last a great deal longer. The passions of the war must ere long subside; and, when they do, the people will see clearly and act justly. And then, if not before, our triumph will come. It is in evitable. A crown of victory is laid up for na. To win and wear it we have only to be true to ourselves. Let us be true to ourselves. This is our supreme duty. “Nor will the reward of our fidelity be all deferred, if a portion shall be. An impor tant advantage we shall reap at once. In the election of Tuesday, though we lost onr State tickets, we gained a number of Congressmen; and, with unwavering fidelity, we shall gain a much greater number in November. Be sides, the same fidelity, if indeed it does not turn back the tide of defeat in the Presiden tial contest and bear ns on to victory, will at all events effect such an expression of con servative sentiment as the victorious party must regard with respect and some degree of wholesome awe. The vast importance of this two-fold advantage is manifest. And the ad vantage is manifestly within onr reach. We have but to extend our arms and grasp it. “Nor is this all The result of a State election, going before a Presidential election in the same year, is not, as experience has shown, an unerring precursor of the result of the Presidential election in the State; the latter result, on the contrary, has been known to be the opposite of the former. Pennsyl vania herself, if we mistake not, supplies a case in point At any rate the fact is incon testable. And it is easily explained. A State election, in the first place, may turn on State rather than on national considerations, being always affected more or less by the former; and, in the second place, the party that suc ceeds in the State election, feeling secure, is more apt to relax its energies than its adver sary is, And yet you all know, security Is mortal's chiel'est enemy. Hence the fact Although Ohio and Penn sylvania and Indiana have gone against ns in their State elections, therefore, it is not cer tain, if we prove true to ourselves, that they will go against ns in the Presidential election. In that election one or two or all of them may nevertheless go in favor of ns. We do not say that this result is certain. We do not say that it is probable. But we do say it is possible. It is in the cards. And when our liberties are the stake, we are triflers and recreants if we do not play out the game. “If then, we are true to ourselves through out the remainder of the canvass, we not only shall beyond all question gain the im portant advantage of many additional Con gressmen, and of a commanding protest against the principles and measures of the Republican party, but may gain the Presi dency. We ‘ shall unquestionably gain a material part of what we seek, and may gain all With these incentives to fight the good fight, who of ns will sink or flee ? For onr own part, without one of these incentives, with no incentive hut our just canse and a deathless faith in it, we, in sight of the battle field of Tuesday, should still appeal to every Democrat to stand firm, addressing him in the beautiful words of one who is now fighting against ns, bnt whose genius half redeems hia errors: “A wild and many-weaponed throng Hang bn thy front, and flank, and rear. “Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof, And blench not at thy chosen lot, The timid good may stand aloof, The sage may frown—yet faint thou not. “Nor heed the shaft too surely cast, The foul and hissing holt of scorn; For with thy side shall dwell, at last. The victory of endurance horn. “Truth, crashed to earth, shall rise again; The eternal years of God are tier's; Bnt Error, wounded, writhes with pain, And dies among its worshippers. “Yea, though thou lie upon the dost, When they who helped thee flee in fear, Die full of hope and manly trust, Like those who fell in battle here. “Another hand thy Bword shall wield,' Another hand the standard wave. Till from the trumpet's month is pealed The blast of triumph o'er thy grave.” The Election Tickets.—The Atlanta Con- The bill requiring all election tickets in this State to be uniform and on white paper, did not pass, as seems to be supposed by some. It failed in the Senate. Tickets may, therefore, be printed on any kind or color of paper parties may desire. Will the Constitution of Intelligencer inform ns what time was fixed by the Legislature for holding the election for members of Congress. We believe the election was postponed until some day in February, but we understand that some persons are under the impression that members of Congress are to be voted for at the some time with Presidential electors. Others are of opinion that the action of the Legislature in regard to the matter was not perfected, and that no day was legally desig nated for the election of Bepresentatives in Congress. Will onr Atlanta cotemporaries enlighten ns in regard to the matter ? Apologetic.—The editor of the Albany News apologizing fOT omissions and typo graphical errors in his paper says: “While getting up onr last issue, we were suffering with an incipient billions attack, and before the time for reading proof, we were prostrate with a high favor.” We sincerely trust that onr friend Evans has got rid of the chills, but it is very evi dent that his devil is not cured of typo graphical errors. The United States Supreme Court has re cently decided that a pardon by the President will not authorize the restitution to the’ for- mer owner of property confiscated for partici pation in the rebellion. An act of Congress is necessary. The Defeat - of Covode. —uTlie Badicals are chagrined over .the defeat of the notorious John Covode, who was beaten forty-one. votes by Poster.

Ohio 17,000 Badical majority. Indiana 750 Badical majority. The returns of the Indianapolis Sentinel gave Baker 205 majority, while those of jhe Journal gave him 970. Bev. Henry Ward Beecher is announced as a candidate for the‘UnitedStatesSenate in case the Badicals have a majority in the next New York Legislature.

Z*' FACETS. The white citizens of St. Landry tried again and again to make terms of peace with the negroes, hut the carpet-hag editors and lead ers told them that the d^—d rebels were Beared, and that they were ten to one in num ber that they had the rebels under their feet, Did the carpet-baggers stand up to the ne groes and fight when trouble came? -Not a bit of it They took to their heels and fled to the woods for dear life, or turned and fought against the negroes, whose mindsi they had inflamed. Do the negroes remember Moore, of Big Cane, a scalawag of St Landry, who headed a club of armed Badical negroes last year, and bullied and threatened white Demo crats and whipped Methodist ministers? He was in the fight and shot at negroes as though he would be glad to annihilate the race of black men. Who planned the burning of Opelousas and the massacre of all the white inhabitants, from old age to the cradle? Badicals! Who directed the negro woman to obtain matches and pain bags for burning Opelou sas and carrying off plunder ? Badicals. Who marched on the town of Washington, parish of St Landry, a few weeks since, threatening to bum and plunder? Black Badicals. Who tanght to threaten, plunder, fire and massacre a peaceable village of white people ? White Badicals. Who dodged the calamity of the Opelonsas riot, after he had sent runners into the coun try to order all the negro clubs to come to Opelousas, armed, to attack that place? Bently, a carpet-bagger from Ohio, editor of the carpet-bag newspaper organ, the Progress. How do the negroes like running their heads into a fire to accomodate carpet-bag office seekers from the North ? We await the answer. Tns Largest Advertising Contract given out in 1868, and probably the largest ever given to one advertising firm at one time, is that of the proprietors of Plantation Bitters to Geo. P. Bowell & Co., Advertising Agents, No. 40, Park Bow, New York, on the 18th of September, for $42,776 26. " Messrs. P. H. Drake & Co., have for years been among the largest, if not the largest, advertisers in America, and toe contract men tioned above is bnt a small pari of their ex penditure in this way for the present year. It is only those who have tried printers’ ink most extensively that are so firmly convinced of its efficacy. The Advertising Agency which is sending ont this order is another example. It com menced business less than fire years since, and tha fact that it now controls a greater advertising patronage than any similar estab lishment, is withoqt doubt to he attributed to their having expended more money in ad vertising themselves and their facilities with in that time than all other advertising films pnt together, since the establishment of the first agency a quarter of a century since. . Norfolk Looking Westward.—The follow ing resolution was passed at the recent ses sion of the Commercial Convention in Nor folk: Besolved, That we regard a connection by railroad from Louisville Ky., on the nearest and most direct route to some point on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, near Wythe- ville, as of the utmost importance to the States of Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Tilir nois, Missouri, and the whole Sonth and Southwest, and being one hundred fifty miles nearer than the route by the Cumberland Gap, and the shortest and cheapest road, os an outlet for the commercial and agricultural people of the above named States, famishing, as it does, a direct route to Norfolk, the finest harbor in the world- Important Circular.—The Secretary of the Treasury has issued the following circu lar in relation to stamps for distilled spirits, tobacco, snuff and cigars. Those interested will be governed accordingly: “In pursuance of authority conferred upon me by the 108tb section of toe act imposing taxes on distilled spirits and tobacco, ap proved July 20, 1863, notioe is hereby given that toe provisions of said act requiring toe use of stamps for distilled spirits are post poned so as to go into practical operation on the 2d day of November next, and the pro visions of the act requiring the use of stamps for tobacco, snaff and cigars are postponed so as to go into practical- operation on toe 23d day of November.” Time of Holding tot Presidential Elec tion.—Judge Irwin, in a communication to the Atlanta Intelligencer, corrects an error which occurred in the publication of toe “ Constitutional and Statuary provisions gov erning toe holding of elections in Georgia.” The Presidential election is held on toe first Tuesday instead of the .first Monday in No vember. The following is the law: § 1332. On the Tuesday after toe first Mon day in November, 1868, and every fourth year thereafter, until altered by act of Con gress, there shall be an election for Electors of President and Vice-President of toe United The Trial of Hon. Jefferson Davis.—The New York Sun, edited by Mr. Chas. A, Dana, formerly Assistant Secretary of War, argues that Mr. Davis will not be tried at toe ap proaching session of the United States Cir cuit Court in Bichmond, and never will be tried. The Sun says: The indictment against Jeff Davis might as well he sold to the paper makers for three cents a pound. He will never he tried. The eloquence of Mr. Evarts will never he wasted on toe living skeleton of a defunct Confeder acy, with a strong probability of a disagree ment of toe jury, and a pardon virtually pro mised beforehand in case of conviction. Wendell Phillips mounted a very high horse so soon as he heard toe election news. In his anti-slavery standard he regrets that it has hitherto been “inexpedient” to cany ont the party designs, but thinks that no more time should be lost Congress, Mr. Phillips says, should assemble at Once, “depose toe President and drive him in disgrace from toe White House. Three months with Wade in toe Executive Chair, would furnish a whole some Badical key-note, as a precedent for toe incoming administration." The Spanish Throne.—The succession to toe Spanish throne remains undetermined. The choice of Prince Alfred, of England, which has been suggested, is regarded as ab surd and impossible, because he is a Protes tant The name of Ferdinand, ex-King of Portugal, is mentioned with favor. Though .ultramontane in religion, he is regarded as politically a liberal; he is popular in Spain, and would he unobjectionable to Napoleon. A Scene in Court.—An individual possess ing unmistakable evidences of African ex traction was arraigned for larceny. The judge, as of right was dignified, bnt with se vere presence, “Are yon guilty or not?” he inquired. “Sar?” “Did you steal these clothes ?” he inquired. “Golly, boss, ’clar never done it” “This man says you did.” “He ain’t-nothin’ hut white trash.” “And what are you?” “ Me: Why don’t yon know me ? I rid wid you in de percession. I helped to tote you home when yer - got tired dat night—don’t yer ’member me now?” There was the “suddenest” not pros, in that darkey’s case that judicial annals afford an example of So much for toe advantages of good society.-—New Orleans Picayune, OcL 13. >■ -.[communicated.] Education in Spain and Italy* The revolutionary movements of the par ties in opposition to one branch of the Bour bons represented by Isabella H, having been crowned with success, it is well to correct some of the popular errors in reference to the condition and education of toe Spanish peopla The greater part of toe intelligence we re ceive from Spain or Italy is derived from either British and French sources, and, there fore, prejudiced, or if. from . domestic origin, is dilated, distorted, colored or modified by one of the dominant factions which, with usurped authority, hacked by bayonets, claims to represent tfre will of toe. French peopla We know, to our cost, the value of toe bom bastic pretensions and hollow shams of the “party of progress”—of toe so-called “Liberal party”—whose cries of “liberty* equality and fraternity”-—very like toe “God and liberty” of toe Mexican tyrants—mean arbitrary ar rests, suppression of newspapers, confisca tion of property that does not belong to toe State, imprisonment, banishment, and any thing else bnt “free speech” for its oppo nents. We, who have just emerged from an ineffectual straggle to secure our own inde pendence, know what estimate to place upon toe honesty and fairness of such sheets as Greeley’s Tribune and Forney’s Press* and Chronicle. We remember toe forgeries and fabrications these loyal patriots resorted to in our own civil war—their slanders and in sinuations against onr purest and noblest citi zens. We have no sympathy with Queen Isabella—she secured the throne by revolu tion, the bayonet and fraud, and she meets with a just retribution. So debased has toe Badical press become in these once United StateB, that its abases have become a reproach to Republican insti tutions. Spain is afflicted with similar evils It has its Forneys an4 it s Greeleys; for its partizan journals are edited by a clan of men equal in audacity to Greeley, and in menda city to Forney. A recent number of toe Cincinnati Tele graph contains some interesting educational statistics frpip to§ last Spanish census which effectually destroys toe nursery tales and tra ditional ideas which are current in some cir cles in reference to the ignorance of toe Span ish people. A reference to toe figures of toe United States census for 1860, should induce rejecting people to look nearer-' home. The nmqber of while pefsous nnable to read and write in these States is greater than is gener ally supposed. There are in Spain twenty-seven thousand schools, with a daily attendance of one million Jive hundred thousand children; also, seventy- seven normal schools, and five institutions for toe education of toe deaf, toe dumb and toe blind. There are a}su {§n universities with their learned faculties of divinity, law, medicine, toe physical and natural sciences, to which must be added eleven academies for toe fine arte, two for manufactures, one for diploma tic and political study, and seventeen for nav igation. We must also include twenty-nine boarding schools and one hundred and eigh teen other private institutions. What is the educational condition of Italy? It is useless to refer to details on this snbject, for to deny toe literary and artistic cultiva tion of the Italian people would but excite toe derision of toe educated and intelligent traveler. We will take Borne, “toe city of toe soul”—toe Capital of toe Papal States. From toe official reports of toe year 1867-'68, published in toe Correspondance de Borne, we find toe following number of pupils attending the institutions of learning in the city, whose Pontiff js receggjzed as Presiding or Chnrch Bishop of their seef by 2QQ,fi0Q,P0P of Chris tians in all quarters of the habitable globe: Missionary, diocesan and national. 706 Universities, colleges and academies 6,667 Asylums, (orphan, deafand4nmb, etc-)........ 2,062 Public schools for boys.,, , 10,605 Do do gjrjs... ,, 11,860 On Saturday last a freedman traded one hnndred and fifty dollars cosh at one of. onr grocery and provision houses. He says , he will make over $1,200 clear profit on his crop, which has been cultivated by his own family, this year. What do darkies who stand around on street comers and talk politics think of that? Better than depending on Badicals for forty‘acres and a mule, eh?— MiUcdgtmUe Union. Total pupils 80,790 The above returns for a city containing up wards of 200,000 inhabitants, does not sus tain toe enrrent misrepresentations of either toe ignorant or more pretentions traveler. The real canse of complaint on toe part of toe infidel and Ted-republican party in Italy and Spain, is toe fact that toe people of toe coun try prefer to snpport schools in which toe elements of their national religion is tanght to toe pupils. Here is toe rqb with toe Ital ian and even Spanish radical party—toe counterpart and sympathizer with toe Ameri can abomination of the same name. YOnr Garibaldi and Mazzino mid Victor Hugo radicals, hate religion of any hind—Christian or Jewish—both Christand Jehovah fall un der their ban. Their motto is, and always has been, toe one suggested by their demi god Voltaire, “ecrases Vinfame,” “crash toe wretch,” meaning Christ. Hence these ruffians denominate all education, under to 6 auspices of religion, os ignorance—and their intention is, by fraud or violence, to get possession of toe schools pf Italy, France, Spain and Eng land, banish religion, and prepare its pnpils for another infernal and diabolical revolution, excelling the French revolution of 1789, with its horrors and cruelties. This accounts for. toe gross exaggeration, toe malicions repre sentations, or toe partial statements and toe suppression of the trato by the hired scribes and Hessian editors of toe radical, red and black republican journals of Europe and their wretched irrilators in this country, who pos sess ail of the venom, bnt little of toe ability of their originals. Their agents use toe electric telegraph and toe Atlantic cable to scatter over toe world their insinuations and distortions of facts, their opinions and hopes, which are published with evident pleasure by their radical and ismatic friends in this country. Just as we have scalawags, or mean white men, here in toe South, so in Italy and Spain there is a corresponding olass who misrepresent toe public sentiment- of their native land.— Europe swarms with “ Loyal Leagues,’’ “UnionLeagues,” ’’Wide-Awakes,” and even “Boys in Bed.” They are thoroughly organ ized for toe purpose, seducing toe young and inexperienced, and use toe usual jargon abont “nnity” and “solidarity of peoples,” and all such stuff, by which they mean the triumph of their own debauched party—and toe spoils of office. They belong to that hungry and eager class in all countries, toe “ outs,” and they crave the flesh pots of official position. Onr people shonld bear in mind that this Italian and Spanish red republican radical party, through 'their official organ, publicly sympathise with the American radical Puritan fanatics from fellow feeling, and they are en deavoring to do in Europe what their Ameri can radical friends have accomplished in this country—the ruin of constitutional liberty and toe establishment of a junto or a military satrapy and negro oligarchy over a prostrate and suffering people.

Besides the great advantages given to advertisers by its circulation among subscribers, copies of the work will be placed in the leading hotels of Georgia and Florida, and also on all the steamers plying to and from this port The work is being compiled by energetic and com petent gentlemen, who have access to all the old records of the city, and all other sources of informa tion, and I feel confident it will be sought after by all persons interested in Savannah, its growth, ad van- ages and prospects, and that it will be placed in every library throughout the country.
