Newspaper Page TextNatianaHUpablkon *.rt»UBTA. oa: WEDNESDAY MORNING January 1*,1868 REMOVAL OF GOV. JENKJMS. We cannot bnt regret the necessity which forced the Military Commander to his action in this matter. Gov. Jenkins is one who has been universally respected tor hia talents and the purity of hh character, and fyt his steadfast adherence to tho Union at the commencement of secession. But, Hke many Union men of that day, he has fallen off from his old 1 love, when the Union is about to be restored, and gone off after the strange and hideous g«d« *>i secession and rebellion. Though a silent and unostentatious opponent of reconstruction, he lias been a most effec tive one—occupying a position where he could most thoroughly render nugatory the work of those engaged in restoring the State to the Union. His last act, in refusing to respect tho instructions of tlic Cbmmanding General, brought on„ the collision between tlic two authorities. It was necessary to determine at once which was the superior. It was a mere question of power, which General Meade had tho firmness and self-respect to decide promptly. For him to have hesi tated to act, would have been to have compromised his own dignity and the authority of the Government he repre sents. Injlie appointment of Gen’l. Huger to be Governor, wo think Gen’l. Meade has also acted wisely. Unacquainted with the people of the State and the merits of the several gentlemen whose claims were urged by their friends, he had no data by which he could determine between them, and took the shortest and best way to end the dilemma and meet the emergency by appointing a military man—one whom he knew to be competent to the position. The gentlemen whose claims had been urged upon him, or rather upon General Pope (for we believe General Meade had not been approached on tlic subject,) acquiesce cheerfully in his decision; and the Convention, which had recommended Col. Bullock, understand that their recom mendation has not been slighted, but only postponed. It would be well if civil officers of the State would take some warning from the fate of Gov. Jenkins. If the Commanding General had little scruple in depriving of office the highest civil officer in the State, he is likely to have still less in decapi tating officers of less importance. Those who have used their official positions to obstruct the progress of reunion, and those who have neglected to execute tire law and suffered criminals to escape, through fear of popular opinion, are in some danger when their misdoings and neglect are made known. Down on Him.—The “ Conservative ” editors of Georgia have commenced their winnings at the new Commanding General whom they were throwing up their caps for, and in whose praise some of them, less than eleven days since, were eloquently expatia ting, and offering resolutions of thanks for his timely advent among us. Then, Gen. Meade was “a gentleman and a soldier’’ — now they declare him to be n "military satrap.” We very much mistake the spirit of the Soldier in command of this District if he puts up with the nonsensical abuse o‘ press-writers who exhibit a more rebellious spirit to-day than they did when Fort Sumter fell. Funny.—lnasmuch as the elections by the City Council, on Saturday night, were held with closed doors, wo are a little curi ous to know from what source the Chronicle obtained its relieable information, that three colored candidates were defeated. We feel like saying to the Chronicle that the colored citizens of Augusta are not overiv ambitious lor office—and but for its bullying and bluster, we have no doubt there would have been no colored delegate from this County in the State Convention. United Staten Revenue* The recapitulation of the sources of Itevq nue, as estimated by Secretary Wells, results as follows : From distilled spirits (new 5y5tem)....550,000,000 From fermented liquors 6,000,000 From tobacco and its manufactures... 20,000,000 From incomo 35,000,000 From stamps 17,000,000 From legacies and successions 2,000,000 From banks, railroads, otc 10,000,000 From salaries 1,000,000 From gross receipts 7,440,000 From miscellaneous (schedule A, etc) 2,100,000 From fines, penalties, etc 1*460,000 Total $152,000,000 Except the stamp tax, no taxes are paid so readily, or with so little evasion, as the license tax. The Commissioner denounces the present system ol distributing the revenue offices to reward political services, as a most expensive and unprofitable one for the tax payer*, and recommends that they be appointed only after an examination by a civil service board ol examiners, to consist of five officers of the Treasury Department. To such a board should not only be referred the questions of appointments and removals, but of rules and modes of collecting revenue, and changes in the revenue laws. By this means our revenue system, which ought to be flexible, and not rigid, would at the same time be consistent and systematic. Pirsonal.—The venerable Dr. Bachman on yesterday, celebrated the fifty-third anni versary of his connection with tho English Lutheran Church of this city. Dr. Bach man took for his text that portion of Deute ronomy which spys: “ Let us call to mind the days of tho past,” aud proceeded to give his congregation a statistical and historical sketch of tne Church during his long admin istration. His calling to mind the days of the past, was exceedingly instructive and entertaining, and the subject was resumed by the doctor at the afternoon service. Dr. Bachman was horn in New York State in 1790, and is consequently in his seventy eighth year. He was ordained iu 1812, and came to Charleston in 1816, when the Eng lish Lutheran Church was a small wooden building occupying a position in rear of the present Church, which was erected in 1817. Eor some years after the doctor's first arrival here, he preached once a mouth ill the German language. Os the many members of his first confirmation, we learn but one gentleman now survives to join the doctor in bis reminiscences of early days. —Charles lon Mercury, Monday, [From our Special Correspondent. State Constitutional Convention *-Atlanta, Ga., January 13, IMS. The Convention, this morning, resumed the consideration of tho resolution asking Coogreei to empower Abe Convention to re move and appoint the civil officers of the State, and the substitute aud amendments thereto. , . , Mr. JBryant, Mr. Conley in tho chair, moved to suspend the rules, to take up and repeal the rule fixing the hour of adjourn ment at 2 o'clock, so as to provide for two sessions daily. The roport on tho Legislative depart" ment was presented and read, with a minority report, offered by Mr. Richardson. Ordered to be printed. A communication was received from Gen" Mead announcing that be had removed Governor Jenkins and Treasurer Jones, as follows i Headquarters Third Military Dist., ) Atlanta. Ga., Jan. 13, 1868. J General Orders, No, 8. First—Charles J. Jenkins, Provisional Governor, and John Jones, Provisional Treasurer, of the State of Georgia, having declined to respeot the instructions of, and failed to cooperate with the Major General commanding the Third Military District, arc hereby removed from office. By virtue of the authority grant ed by the Supplementary Reconstruction Act of Congress, passed July 19, 1867, the following named officers are detailed for duty in the District of Georgia: Brevet Brigadier General Thomas H. Ruger, Colo nel 33d Infantry, to be Governor of the State of Georgia; Brevet Captain Charles F. Rockwell, Ordnance Corps, U. S. Army, to be Treasurer of the State of Georgia. Third—The above named officers will proceed without delay to Milledgeville, Ga., and enter upon the discharge of the duties devolving upon them,subject to instructions from these headquarters. By ordef 1 of Maj. Gen. Meade, R. C. Drum, ■ Assistant Adjutant General. Mr. Bryant’s resolution for two sessions was then taken up. Mr. Akerman offered an amendment that the resolution take effect after Wednesday next. The resolution and amendment was lost. Mr. Davis offered a resolution to restrict speeches to fifteen minutes. Mr. Akerman objected, Raid that the time would not allow sufficient discussion on im portant matters. The resolution was laid on the table. The regular order of the day was then resumed. Mr. Ashuchnk addressed the Convention, replying to the accusation that there were men in the Convention who were opposed to reconstruction, and other accusations. lie insisted upon his original resolution, and declared himself opposed to the modification of the Test Oath. He declared that he would, at the proper time, offer a resolution petitioning the Commanding General to remove the municipal officers at Savannah, Macon, Columbus, and Atlanta. Mr. Cai.dwki.l replied to Dr. Miller's speech on Saturday. 11c repelled the charges made by Dr. Miller against himself and others. lie threw back the imputation that the majority consumed the time of the Con vention. The gentleman had asked if we would stand upon the provisions of the reconstruction act—he would most assuredly; aud asked do they stand upon those pro visions, and for what reasons they supported them? - from necessity or choice; lie cause they were obliged to, or because they believed them right; if from necessity, if they did not believe them right, then they would undo all the work of reconstruc tion as soon as they wore able. He answered the allegation that it was impracticable tor the Convention to execute the powers they asked of Congress, that body could make such provisions as could make the powers practicable. If gentlemen thought by calling the majority of this Convention infamous, their proceedings monstrous, their brother members thieves and robbers, to curry favor with the opposition press, they would find themselves mistaken, they would still con tinue to be abused and stigmatized. The cause of manhood suffrage was gaining ground everywhere, and Mr. Caldwell elo quently alluded to the demonstrations in its favor in England. It was moved and seconded that the whole resolution and substitute be laid on the table. Carried. Mr. Akerman presented the minority re port on relief. The report set forth that the scheme of the majority (forbidding the col lection of debts made previous to June, 1866) was contrary to the Constitution of tho United States, and violative of the com mon intent of all laws which were framed for the protection of person and property. If distress must come it ought to come upon debtors as well as creditors. The cry for relief came from persons who did not de serve relief, they were the men who would not pay their debts during the war when they could have paid—they took advantage of the iniquitous stay law. Relief, as it was called, was nothing but practical con fiscation. Sufficient relief was afforded by the Bankrupt law, and the report closed by proposing that Congress be memoralized to modify that law so as to make exemptions uniform and diminish tho cost of proceed ings. Mr. Richardson moved to employ three stenographic reporters. Mr.- Akerman moved a substitute to the motion, providing for the publication of tho reports. Mr. Blount objected on account of tho expense. The motion to employ reporters was carried, and tho proposition to print tho reports referred to the committee on Printing. Mr. Turner, for the purpose of voting understandingly on tho subject of relief, offered a resolution declaring Georgia a territory. Laid on the table and ordered to bo printed. Adjourned. —The withdrawal of the Cunard steam ers from Boston "was a blow both to the pride and the interests of the “Hub.” The Bal timore line of Liverpool steamers seems also to bo faring hard. It seems by the record that the last arrival of the Carroll, at Balti more, was Soptembor 29, and of the Wor. cestor, at Baltimore, November 9. This lino was strongly hacked up by Baltimore in* tcrosts, and by tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company; but the general de pression of the times, and the particular want of support at tho points referred to, have operated (0 the detriment of ttio Bal timore as well as the Boston lino. The returns of the census just taken of District of Columbia by the Buroau of Edu* cation, in cooperation with tho city authori ties, have been made up sufficiently to show that tho entire population of Washington city: Number of families (white and ool oi-ed) in Washington, 20,040 ; wbito popu lation, 73,937 ; colored population, 31,894; aggregate, 106,831. —The Postmaster Genoral asks for an appropriation of $22,837,500 as tho amount arobably necessary to moot tho oxpenses of lis Department for the year ending Juno 30, 1869.
