THE TELEGRAPHIC HEWS.
Inconsistency.
Ip October last, when we commenced
tbe publication of the Daily Press as a
subscription paper, some of our readers
will remember that the two other dai
lies published iu this City, protested
against our receiving the telegraphic
news except upon certain conditions.
The subject being referred to Mr. Craig,
at that time General Agent of tbe Asso
ciated Press, that gentleman decided
against us, and the two dailies required
us to pay a bonus of SI,OOO, which we
declined to do at that time. Having
charged .the papers referred to with a
determination to monopolize the news,
which we conceived then, and still
conceive they had no right to do, the
Chronicle <£• Sentinel, in its issue of
Oct 6th, replied as follows:
“We should not have noticed this
splenetic effort of the Daily Press to
prejudice the public mind against tbe
course which we have thought proper to
adopt, but for the fact that we fear that
our readers Tnay'be mTsTffi! by the state
ments made by that paper, that we
had really perfected or were attempt
ing to perfect a monopoly of telegraphic
news.” x
If it was not an attempt at monopoly,
then, what was it? If an exaction was
enforced, which, in effect, might have
caused the suspension of a cotemporary
journal or prevented the commencement
of anew one, was not an attempt at
monopoly, then, again we ask, what
was it ?
The same journal then proceeded :
“The Press Association, ot w hich we
are a member, is a private corporation,
or copartnership, formed for the mutual
benefit of the copartners.”
We showed, at the time, that our
cotemporary was mistaken in its view of
the nature of the association —that it
was, in fact, a Northern association, of
which Mr. Craig was the General Su
perintendent, and that the Chronicle
and Sentinel was a customer, and not a
member of the Association.
We see no reason to change our views,
as given then, and, therefore, still con
tend that we have taken the correct po
sition. But the Chronicle and Sentitiel
continues :
We were willing that the Daily Press
should become a member in the Associ
ation upon complying with fair and
equitable terms ; now we shall oppose its
membership upon any terms.”
In tbe first place, is the requirement
of a bonus of SI,OOO at our bands ‘fair
and equitable," when the Chronicle and
Sentinel, once placed in the same po
sition as we subsequently were, got in
for nothing ? Suppose Mr. Craig had
decided against the Chronicle and Sen
tinel, would not that journal have gone
“puling and whimpering before the pub
lic?” Fortunately for it, howerer, the
decision at that time was the reverse of
what it was in our case ; and our neigh
bor found no difficulty in joining in a
similar requirement of us.
With this requirement, however, it
adds in its issue of Oct, 6tb, 1866, that
it would, thereafter, oppose our admis
sion to the benefits of the Associated
Press “on any terms.” This was iu
October, 1866. In January, 1867
only three months afterwards—“what
a change has come o’er the spirit of our
dreams 1° The old “terms” are re
newed ; we are admitted, and the
Chronicle and Sentinel enters no oppo
sition that we have heard of; but coolly
pockeU oar ssoo—its share of tbe
SI,OOO bonns—and still continues to
draw its telegraphic inspiration from
the same source that we do. What is
the cause of this change ? Was it the
“green above, the red,” in the shape of
Uncle Samuel’s greenbacks that caused
it?
Didn’t our cotemporary state that
if wo were admitted to the As
sociation it would withdraw? That
was in October last. Why does
not our neighbor keep to its faith
aud withdraw ? It lias not opposed our
adnussiou. It has not withdrawn. Surely
it ought to be consistent and stick to its
text. If not, what reason can be given
for the change? We know of none
except the glitter of the bonus money,
which, perhaps, dazzled the eyes of the
recipient and blinded it to promises
given in the past.

Letter* from an Ex-Rebel, to
Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev-
Henry Ward Beecher
fxvMaaa ua f
Sits . I haee purposely abstained fsom'
.liscu*.dog the rights under tbe Consti
tution (which you and I both recognise
tut the supreme law) of the. excluded
States to perfect equality iu the Uuion ;
and I have nbo abstained from any at
tempt to prove that all the proposed
legislation by the majority of the mem
bers of Congress from the represented
States, is an usurpation of power, not
only not warranted by the Constitution,
but in manifest violation of its positive
provisions.
I know that it is the fashion now to
treat all reasoning of this nature as
“legal abstractions” and to take for
granted that the representatives of the
conquerors have an absolute right to
deal with the conquered as they think
proper, without any reference to the
rights, privileges, and immunities which
the latter possessed and exercised prio r
to the war.
In order to get on ground from which
you will agree to listen to what I have
to say, I will confine myself to the evi
dence for the defense and the tacts of
the case, and leave the law to others.
The second assertion which I under
took to prove was that the people of the
“rebel States,” in giving their voluntary
consent to the abolition of slavery, reco
gnized the necessity and the duty to pro
tect and defend the emancipated negroes
in all the rights of person and property
which freedom gave them : to deal with
them liberally as well as justly, and to
use all proper means to promote their
social and material prosperity.
In the first place, the legislatures of
all the excluded States have passed laws
by which all distinction of race or color,
in the eye of the law, has been abolished,
and the black man can to-day sue and
testify in any court, just as a white man
can ; he can hold, inherit, and transmit
property just as I can ; be has the same
right to punish me for any injury I may
do to his life, liberty, or reputation, as I
have to punish him for the like offense.
Our rights before tbe courts are pre
cisely similar. Every vestige, of the
legislation which governed the Condi
tion of slavery has been done away by
the voluntary act and with the unani
mous approval of the people. I say
voluntary act, because I desire to ex
clude the idea that the people either
agreed to the Constitutional Amend
ment, abolishing slavery, or repealed
the laws relating to slaves, by compul.
sion, by force, or under the influence of
fear. It is true that by the resuit of the
war slavery was practically destroyed ;
but its legal existence could not have
been done away without the adoption of
the Amendment to the Constitution, and
the excluded States adopted that Amend
ment not to win favor or purchase peace,
but because they had “accepted the
situation,” and desired to conform to
it in spirit as well as in letter.
They felt that when the guardianship
and protection of the master were re
moved it was their duty to give the
freedmen the power to take care of
and protect themselves, by opening
wide to them the courts of justice, and
surrounding them with all the safe
guards which the law has erected for
the benefit of the white man. I will
not encumber this letter by quoting
■from these laws; you have doubtless
seen them and remember their pro
visions.
It has been my fortune to be present
in several courts of justice during the
past year, and to witness the trial of a
number of cases, civil ns well as crim
inal, in which negroes have been parties,
and in which they have been made wit
nesses. On nil these occasious, and they
have not been confined to a single lo
cality or community, I have observed
the manifest desire of the Court, the
juries and the bar, to deal liberally, as
well ns justly, by the freedmen; to make
allowance for their deficiency of intel
lect, knowledge, and morul training,
and to make them feel perfect confi
dence that the law would protect their
rights and be benevolent to their trans
gressions. In every utterance of the
Judges from the Bench, and from the
lawyers at the Bar, I have found the
same disposition, and I have never heard
a single word of disapproval of this
feeling, nor have I beard anybody deny
that humanity, civilization and social
security demanded that the freedraen’s
rights should be scrupulously guarded,
and his tailings leniently judged. Ido
not know a case in which a jury has
rendered what I thought was an unjust
verdict where a negro was a party, and
I have frequently known judges inflict
light punishment on negroes for offences
for which while men have been made to
suffer the severest penalties.
I do not say that any community, nor
the thousanth part of any community,
believes that the sudden emancipa
tion of the slaves was either just, hu
mane, or judicious; but they have all
accepted the situation and have resolved
to make the best of things as they are.
The negroes are here, and they are free.
They are a large portion of the popula
tion, and may be made a very useful
portion ; aud it is not difficult to believe
that we should desire to do all we can
to improve the condition and promote
the welfare of a race which has grown
up in our families, which has ever been
faithful and attached servants, and be
tween which and ourselves no antago
nism exists, thus far.
We ore poor and have not the means
to do all we woiild for their instruction
and elevation. But what we enn do we
do cheerfully. we peneb and sta
bility, we could and would do much
more.
But you nay that until we give the
negroes the right to vote, we are guilty
of injustice towards them, aud that the
it essential to their
and their improvement. Our indispo
sition to concede this political privilege
to Hie freed men is *rged as an evidence
of our disaffection to the United States,
and is made the jastification for the
measures of repression and oppression
which it is proposed to adopt for our
government.
1 propose in my next to present for
your consideration a few remarks on
this subject, on which il is of vital
importance to ns, that the misapprehen
sions which now obscure it. among your
people should be cleared away. We do
not withhold tbe suffrage from the ne
groes for the purpose ol oppressing
them, or because we are opposed to their
elevation iu the social scale, but because
we believe that in their present condition
of ignorance-and mental weakness, to
confide to them the highest political
trust would be disastrous to us and ta
them. We know the negroes much better
than your people know them. We see
and hear them every day and can judge
ot their capacity and intelligence mnch
more accurately than those whose knowl
edge of the race consists in having
listened to Fred Douglas lecture, or
having eaten oysters at Downing’s. You
believe, or think, that they are fit to be
entrusted with political power. We know
that they are not. Xylos.

ALBANY KX.
The undersigned beg again at the opening of the SEVENTEENTH
YEAR of the existence of our House in the
STOVE AID HOUSE FURNISHING
Trade, in its present position, to present its facilities and claims upon that patronage that
has, for many years past, placed it far in advance of all competitors.
—in this department our stock is so large and varied that newspaper enu
merating in detail is impracticable. As our leading
FIRST CLASS COOK STOYE,
WE OFFER THE
“GOOD SAMARITAN”
Which is indicated by the above eut. This Stove we have been selling for six years past,
in every case with PERFECT SATISFACTION to the buyer, and in beauty of design,
perfect adaptation to all the requirements of a
PERFECT AND COMPLETE COOK STOVE,
it stands to-day without a rival, as an inspection will convince the most careful exam
iner. Among our other Cook Stoves wo enumerate the
“QUEEN OF THE SOUTH,” “MARION,”
“HARVEST QUEEN,” “RED JACKET,” Etc, Etc.
All these are FIRST CLASS STOVES, well known throughout Georgia and South
Carolina. have also a large variety of mt dium and second class goods in this line,
warranted to PEIiFORaM WELL, but lighter weight and Jess expensive than those
enumerated.
HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS.—Our stock in this department is so LARGE aud
varied, so well known during our long existenco here, consisting of
PLAIN, PLANISHED, AND JAPANNED TINWARE.
WOOD, WILLOW,
AND
HOUSE FURNISHING HARDWARE. E'c,
that wo doom special enumeration entirely unnecessary. No pains will be spared to sus
tain the reputation, in this connection, that has, for sixteen years past, been so fully ac
corded us.
MANUFACTURING.—Strict attention will, as heretofore, be given in our EX
TENSIVE WORKSHOPS to everything pertaining to this department of our trade. In
this branch of our business we promise NOTHING NEW. That same punctuality and
care for details that has been a well known characteristic of this House in times past will
be rigidly observed and continued.
TIN ROOFING.—Owing to tbe general stagnation in mercantile affairs just now,
we shall, MORE THAN EVER, give our closest and most ENERGETIC ATTENTION
to all kinds of
Heavy Out Doors XVork
in our line. Our facilities and way of doing things in this connection are pretty well
We GUARANTEE, for any REASONABLE TIME, all work done by us,
and wJare pleased to find, as our rapidly increasing patronage in this direction abun
dantly attests, that the public are beginning to nppreciate this guarantee, and to find
that it means JUST WHAT IT CARRIES ON ITS FACE WITHOUT DISCOUNT.
