A DISCOVERY.
The Savannah News <(■ Herald, of yester
day, contains the following communica
tion frpm a “ correspondent of undoubted
responsibility and high position" :
Mr. E-bitoh : The statement has been made,
and repented in my presence yesterday, by a
gentleman of intelligence, influence, and of the
highest position in this community, that a
Proclamation was written by President Lincoln
when the secession of the Southern States oc
curred, and was approved by hia Cabinet, an
nouncing their niulvubted riykt to ilo so, asserting
that the Constitution of the United States pro
hibited force being need to compel them to return,
and assenting to tbeir peaceful withdrawal. This
proclamation was sent to the printm- for an
nouncement, but an interposition was made by
several Senators and Keprosentativcs, and, after
a oonfcrencc, it was recalle I and siqqircssed.
The names of the witnesses to this fuot —all of
them of undoubted character and respectability
—can bo had.
Now, if this is true, it etui be cosily
demonstrated. Montgomeiiy Blaiu was
at the time n meinlier of Mr, Liscolr’s
Cabinet; but, for the last three or four
years, his conduct indicates thsit he very
much regrets ever luiviug opposed seces
sion.' Indeed, in a recent speech in Mnry
laud, he hinted that he thought the Union"
ists had been in the wrong and the rebels
in the right. If this proclamation was
ever prepared, Blair knows and wlll>
doubtless, proclaim it. But the statement
is all a .humbug. Mr. Lincoi.n, in his
first inaugural, plainly foreshadowed
his determination to preserve the
! Nation. He reminded the people tliat
he had an oath registered in Heaven to
’ maintain the laws, and pledged himself to
keep that oath. Besides, it is well known
• that all the Southern States, except Ten
' nessee (if we remember correctly), had se
j ceded before Lincoln’s inauguration. Mr.
Chase, and perhaps one other member ot
the Cabinet, manifested a disjiosition to lot
- the “wayward sisters depart in peace,'
n if they would keep the peace; but none
8 were base enough not to resent such an at
tack as the first assault on Sumter. Wc
e imagine this palpable attempt to wliitu,
. wnsh treason and dishonor loyalty will
t fail as ignominiously as did the attempt to
destroy Ute Government. , -
WITH “rt POLICY.’'
It would appear that Awv Johnson is not
J the only man that can glibly spout, out “uiy
s policy.’’,. ’lt seems, from a card in yester
day’s Ku-Klux organ, that one 11. J. Lang,
. Liiicolton, Ga., has a ‘‘policy.’ We
i have had Johnson's policy—now wc have
; LiSG'slipolicy. What is Lang's i»liey?
1 He snyaj in substance, that he sup
) ’ *
ported reconstruction, although he knew it
was clearly violative of the Constitution,
1 in order to get the military withdrawn •
t that being accomplished he is now for 3jby
i mock and Blair, and the possible nye».
throw of that State Government which he
. helped to establish. Lang will find that
; the old proverb that “cheating never
I thrives," is correct. 'Gq-’Laxg!
How Mvcn did you SvbsghibeWe
p would like to know whether one Colonel big
I A, little A ron Wilbur did not, a short time
' since, subscribe a lot ot money for the ben
■ efit of the Republican party, in Washington
City? Answer this question sqtmroly, or dry
up about 41 a white man’s government.”
r “Rally Round the Flag, Boys.”—Our
special dispatches this morning, announce
the fact that Hon. James L. Seward, of
t Thomas county, has become disgusted with
the proscription and violence of the Detnoc
racy, and will henceforth do all he can for

r Committee immediately place his name on

LISTEN T'> RelEo> .
The people of Georgia now consists of
four ilistinct classes, to w-it: The native
whites, the foreigners, the carpet-baggers
and the blacks. All these have the same
rights tinder the law.
Let politicians say what they will, and
blow and threaten to their heart’s content,
each of these classes trill remain in the
State and exercise the privileges of citizen
stop. These foolish persons who indulge
in the idea that, under any state of circum
stances, any one of these classed will or cah
be driven out, are doomed to be disap
pointed. There is no Chinese wall sur
rounding the State of Georgia which
cannot and will not.be easily sealed by
foreigners anti carpet-baggers. The United
States flag is an emblem of protection to
every man tern in the United Slates, of
has been naturalized as a citizen.—
That, flag will protect its citizens in Georgia
as promptly and emphatically as it
will elsewhere. The time has forever past
when a State can interfere with the rights
of a citizen. No other flag can be recog
nized or tolerated in Georgia, to there a
sane man in the State that believes that the
opinions of men can be controlled by any
one political party ? Is there a single per
son so demented as to think that the pas
sions of the people can be kept up to the
pitch of intolerance and hatred to which it
is now ?
Owing to the ambition and malevo
teuce of certain old party hacks, and the
narrow-minded proscription of ministers'
who authoritatively declared that God
was on the side of slavery and rebellion, a
man’s respectability is now measured
, by his political opinions. The purest,
, most charitable, and high-toned citi
, zen is adjudged a low-bred and unprin
cipled scoundrel if he favors Gen. Gkant
’ for President On the other hand, a
. drunken, gambling, miscegenating wretch,
who is willing to curse scalawags and join
the Ku-Klux Klan, receives the smiles of
the ladies, the prayers of the preachers,
and general enconiums from the public.
Men arc uot judged by their personal, but
political conduct. This state of affairs can
not continue.
We have said that these several classed
of citizens will remain in Georgia. Pru
dent men had just as well make up their
minds to recognize this as a settled fact.
Why can uot all live in peace, and respect
the rights and opinions of those differing
with us t AU have a right, and arc deter
mined to stay hero. Then why have any
difficulty about the matter 'I Grant is
bound to be elected. There is no well
informed citizen who does n6t regard this
question ns already settled. Democrats,
j he is not only destined to become our
I President, but yours. It is hard “to kick
against the pricks.” Why attempt it ?
Why stir up strife, which can benefit no
citizen, or community, except the foul-
’ mouthed wretches who fatten off the mis
!•
fortunes of the country'? Why con not yon
' raise your voices in favor of 2 wisdom,
justice and moderation ?” Yon have the
power of rendering that service to
tin* country. It is needless to name our
section except in connection with the
Northern States. It is indissolubly
’ united with every other section,
and has -everything to lose and nothing
j to gain by violence. Let “ wisdom,
justice and moderation’’ control your
actions. Learn to be tolerant, and you will
lie tolerated. Like begets like; violence
’ begets violence. Hatred begets hatred.
9 You caunot expect peace alone .on your
II terms. We shall not expect it altogether
l ’ ou our terms. But, as you are the van-
> quisbed, you should remember that the
' victor should he treated with some coir
siderntion. “ Let us have peace" is our
motto. But we are not willing to sacrifice
the inalienable rights of American citizens
€ for peace. The consequetifces be <>u the
heads of those who persist in appropriating
e the right to dictate the thoughts, opinions
’ and actions of others.
» Women AN riIINTEHSA FAILUItE
The New York World pronounecs the
> employment of women as printers a failure.
, That establishment tried the experiment
and has been compelled to abandon it.
The writer says that, from first to last,
one hundred girls were employed nt the
e case. Borne of them became tolerable
, compositors, ami are now making fair
■> Wages on book work. The greater propor
tion never readied an equal skill. When
. employed by the piece, their earnings fell
fiir Iklow that of the mciK They have
. not the endurance of the men, seven or
eight hours per day Ixiing more than
. sufficient to tax their strength. Few of
, them could set clean proof) end, if jxissi
t ble, always shirked its correction. Illegible
. manuscript they were utterly unable to
decipher. They could never become
familiar with the spider tracks of the
- editors aud reporters, as male printers can.
( The World adds that were all faithful
’ to their duties, and performed them to tlte
Ijest of their capacity.

WHO RUNS THE MACHINE?
Mr. Editor— This makes all the difference in
die world. It is the first question asked. Whois
Captain ofthe boat ?W’ho rune tlietec >tnotwe,
and is tlioeondactorof this train? Who keeps
this hotel ? Who i s the President of that 1
Bank or Railroad Company? Who has
charoo of this school, ami who is your t
preacher? Security, confidence,comfort and i
patronage depends entirely on ho->t these ‘
questions are answered. People don’t like
to travel with a Captain that has a run of ;
bad luck (irfmfl management with a runner, i
or of a condnctor that, cap't make a clenr ;
schedule, and is often of}' the tralk ; nor to
stop with a man who has mistaken his busi- f
Mess in trying'to keep a hotel; nor to do .
business with a Bank whoseofticerfl lire stiff, i
Riid go. in for a one-sided institution alto- j
pettier, and so on. These likes and peculiar- 1
ilies, which influence the conduct of men, 1
are noticed in every department, aud family i
of this great work shop in which we live. 1
Whether they are the result of prejudice i
or good reasotl, it matters not—they are in
our nature, and hard to overcome. Now,
this inquisitive disposition to know who is (
who and what is what before we get aboard' 1 i
and put down our money, goes into politics
as mu«h as into anything else. <
Ibe very mention that a certain man Las f
charge of a new project is enough either to 1
kill orunake it. Either he lias had good i
judgment, clear head, fine business capacity,
and undoubted lioucsty and industry, in I
making good all he said he would do, and i
thus has ,-eeetvcd the full confidence qud
ctdperatiou and well wishes of the commu- i
nity in whatever he undertakes. The other’s
history has been one of uninterrupted fail
ure ; Ite has never fulfilled his promises in
gny particular. His schemes and adven
tures have been overdrawn anil illy digested;
nd careful analysis ot the pros aud cons— no
strong appreciation of the consequences in
volved in the result —but with rule or ruin
inevitably, dashing headlong into the most
hazardous enterprises, with perfect indiffer
ence as to how much disaster lie brings on
himself or friends. Such men are found in
politics, Have we not the latter now attempt
ing to manage our national affairs ? Would
it not lie well, before prudent men of every
party putthemselves in line under command
of any leader, to ask who he is—know some
thing of his antecedents, and govern them
selves accordingly. Certainly the burnt
child will avoid the fire—wise tneu won't be
ruined the second time by the same person.
Toombs, Cobb, Hill & Co. have been un
successful. They have caused the people to
mourn by their wicked and reckless advice
iu the past, and common sense shou'd leach
the people not to permit them to cause a
repetition of our calamities.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Fortipth Conyrcss—Second Session.
Monday, September 21, 1868.
sexate.
The Solute met at noon, where after prayer 1
by the Chaplain, « * (
Mr. Anthony offered a resolution pro- *
vidiug for an immediate adjournment until 1
the 16th of October; and then, unless other
wise ordered, until the 10th of November; t
and then, unless otherwise ordered, until tho |
first Monday in December. <
Mr. Sherman asked that, before consider- .
ing the resolution, the roll be called, to ,
ascertain if a quorum of Senators was <
present. t
The roll was then called, when thirty-four <
Senators answered to their names, ns follows :
Messrs. Abbott, Anthony, Buckalew, Came
ron, Cattell, Chandler, Couness, Corbett,Cra
gin, Edmunds, Fowler, Frelinghuysen, Har
lan, Harris, Howe, Kellogg, McDonald,
Morgan, Morrill of Maine, Morrill of Ver
mont, Morton, Osborn, Patterson of New
Hampshire, Pomeroy, Robertson, Ross, Saw
yer, Shermun, Sumner, Trumbull, Wade,
Warner, Willey and Wilson.
The Chair stated that thirty-four Senators
(being a quorum) had answered to their
names.
Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, was the
only Democratic Senator present. He culled
for the ayes and nocs on the resolution of
Mr. Anthony, when it was adopted—ayes 33,
nays I—Mr. Buckalew.
Mr. Anthony stated that his colleague (Mr.
Sprague) was not present in his seat on ac
count of serious illness.
On motion of Mr. Anthony, the Senate
then took a recess of thirty minutes.
The Senate was again called to order at
12:15 p. m., when a message was received
from the House by Mr. Mcl’htfton, its Clerk,
announcing tho passage by that body of a
resolution of adjournment, similar to the one
passed by the Senate.
Mr. Buckalew offered a resolution request
ing the House to inform the Senate whether
a quorum of that body is present.
Mr. Edmunds.and Mr. Anthony objected
to its consideration, contending that the fact
of the House having sent a message to tho
Senate was sufficient evidence that there
was a constitutional quorum of that body
present, and maintained that it was not
competent for the Senate to send any such
message to the House.
The Chair stated that the reccss was in
the nature of an adjournment from day to
day, and it was not for the Senate, but for
the House to judge whether a quorum of its
members were present.
After further discussion, the consideration
of Mr. Buckalew’s resolution was objected
to by Mr. Edmunds.
The Senate then concurred in the House
resolution, and the Chair then declared the
Senate adjourned until noon of October 16.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
At 12 o'clock the Speaker called the House
to order, and prayer was offered by Rev.
Dr. Boynton.
Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, offered a resolution
that when the House adjourns to-day the
Speaker of the House and the President of
the Senate do adjonrn their respective
Houses until October 16 ; and then, unless,
otherwise ordered, that the two Houses be
adjourned until November 10; and then,
Unless otherwise ordered, a further adjourn
ment take place until the first Monday in
December.
Mr. Schenck demanded the previous
question, and the resolution was adopted—
no Democratic members being present.
Mr. Schenck then effered another resolu
tion, that during the remainder of the ses
sion of the Fortieth Congress it shall be in
order to suspend the rules at any time.
Mr. Brooks, of New York, coming in at
this moment, objected, and demanded a
division upon offering the resolution.
The House was counted, and no quorum
voted.
Mr. Schenck said he wbuld withdraw the
resolution for the present.
He then offered a resolution directing the
Committee on Public Expenditures to in
quire the reason why supervisors of internal
revenue are not appointed, and why there
has been a failure tb enforce the internal
.revenue law.
Mr. Spalding objected, and said he should
oppose any legislative business.
Mr. Schenck objected unless he was al
lowed to reply.
On the’motion to suspend the rules no
quorum voted, and Mr. Schenck withdrew
the resolution.
Mr. Schenck then moved to take a recess
(or half an hour.
Mr. Brooks mile t! e point of order that
less than a quorum could not take a recess.
The Speaker sustained the point of order,
Mr. Schenck renewed his resolution iu
relation to the supervisors, and called the
yeas and nays, which were ordered.
Pending the roll call, Mr. Brooks made
the point of order, that under the resolution
adopted July 27th, the roll would have to
be called, and that the first part of the re
solution had not been complied with. Also,
that under the second part of the resolution
the House could do nothing else than take
action upon ordering another reeess.
The Speaker overruled the point of order
oft the ground that the resolution did not
limit the business to the first hour of the
session, but that any time during this legis
lative day would do for business.
The roll was then called upon the motion
Io »us|ieiid the rules; and no quorum voted.
Pending the roll call, a message was re
ceived from the Senate announcing the pas
sage of a resolution similar to that adopted
in the House providing for a further recess.
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, asked unani
mous consent to take up the resolution of
the Senate.
Mr. Randall, of Penusylvana, objected.
A call of the House was then ordered, and
no quorum appearing, the doors were closed
and the roll was called for absentees.
Messrs. Randall, Brooks and Eldridge,
who were in the Hall, declined to answer to
their names.
Mr. Broomall, of Pa., moved that his
colleague, Mr. Randali be excused in conse
quence of his indisposition. He must cer
tainly be indisposed because he was not
here to vote.
Mr. Randall—l am not only here now,
but will be in the next Congress, and my
.colleague won’t.
Mr. Bromall—l think my colleague ought
to be allowed to vote because he is evidently
indisposed and net here.
Mn Randall—My colleague will not be
here next Congress, in consequence of an
indisposition on the part of his constituents
to agree to send him-here.
Mr. Paine, of Wis., moved that further
proceedings under the call be dispensed
with, which was agreed to, and the doors
were reopened. -
A message was received from the Senate
announcing concurrence in the House
resolution tor adjournment.
The House then immediately adjourned
Until October -16.

To the Sheriff or hie Lawful Deputy :
WusKyas, At the September Term, 1868 of
the Superior Court held iu aud for the county of
Bntts, Thomas J. Henderson was put upon his
trial for, aud, upon his own plea of gttilty, was
convicted of the offence of atabhing. aiid wis
then and there, therefor, sentenced by the Judge
presiding at said Court, to be imprisoned for thirty
days hi tho common jail of Baid comity of Ilntt(
and to pay all costs of prosecution and jail fees'
and whereas, a petition, unanimously signed hr
citizens of Butts county,(corroborated by a writ
tp,n statement of the Solicitnr General who prow
t ided the case, has been presented to me, asking
the full pardon of the said Henderson, on the
ground that the cutting was very slight—done in
, a personal rencontre between him and one Car
micbael, uuder a misapprehension by both partias
as to the intention of tho other; ai d when said
Henderson was laboring under a Jit of mania a
potu, without any previous hard feelings ormali t
existing between them, said Carmichael being the
aggressor in the contest:
Therefore, believing that the said Henderson
has sufficiently atoned for the offence, if really
any was committed, be having been confined in
jail before and after trial about one mouth, it is
Ordered, That the part of said sentence not
already expired, together with all costs and jail
fees, be, ami the s'atne uro hereby, remitted, and
that he, the said Thomas J. Henderson, be, and he
is hereby, fully pardoned, and be forthwith dis
charged from said jail and set at liberty.
