Charity for the South.
When people are in great need, and
have not the means to assist themselves,
they are not apt to he very punctilious
about the title ot the aid extended to
them. A starving man is willing to
accept a crust of bread, and let you call
it a loan, a gift, or a charity, as suits
you best. But the truly generous giver
is always mindful of the feelings of the
recipients ot his bounty, and gives with
a grace and a kindness of expression
that will benefit the recipients without
wounding their feelings. It is a bit of
pride that is creditable to the human
heart which possesses it, and softens the
feeling of humiliation which oftentimes
accompanies the receipts of charity.
At the receut meeting at the Cooper
Institute, in New York City, it was
resolved to raise a fund for pecuniary
aid to the South, but insulting speeches
were made, and the Southern people
were given clearly to understand that
it was charity, in the humiliating sense
of the term, which they are about to
receive. For this, some of our cotem
porarics advise the people of the South
to refuse the proffered charity. Well,
under ordinary circumstances, we should
give the same advice. But we think
that the North owes the South a pretty
round sum, for the great injury done to
property by General Sherman and
others in the late war, and the charity
fund, so-called, will, in our judgment,
be nothing more than interest on the
debt due us for property destroyed. In
this light we say to our people, take
what the North gives you and do the
best you can with it. When you are in
danger of starving, it is no time to
stand upon nice points of order.
A friend has suggested that if the
Northern people really want to assist
the suffering poor of the South, the
better plan would be to organize asso
ciations with large capitals, and loan
certain amounts to the agriculturalists,
mechanics, and other industrialists ot
the South, to be invested in the cultiva
tion of the soil, or the development of
the resources of this section, or to ena
ble the recipients to live until they can
secure crops or establish their business.
We consider this a capital suggestion,
and commend it to the especial atten
tion of our New York City cotempora
ries. It will do the South, and the
North, too, more good than double the
amount bestowed in humiliating char
ity.
Immigrants and Immigration.
We alluded the other day to the im
portance of securing for the South a
share of the tide of immigration which is
now almost entirely directed to the
West. We alluded to the fact that large
numbers ol these immigrants—especi
ally those from Germany—have through
tickets, purchased in Hamburg, for St.
Louis or other points near their destina
tion. It is not that we have any preju.
dices against immigrants from any and
all other European countries that we
suggested Germany as the point from
which it is most desirable to us to in.
crease our supply of labor. It is be
cause, from the unsettled and unsatis
factory condition of the political affairs
of many of the German States, there
are thousands of persons of intelligence
and some meins, who desire to leave
that country and settle in America. We
believe it is too evident to require argu
ment, that it is better for our impover
uhed farmers to sell or lease a portion
ol their lands on most favorable terms>
to these people, than to attempt to im
port hired laborers, who, having no
means of support, will for the time be
but consumers of our inadequate sub
sistence.
It is better (or us socially, to acquire
a fixed population of intelligent fami
lies, than to acquire the class of labor
ers likely to contract with labor agents
to work for strangers at so much a
month.
To compete with any degree of sue.
cess with the West for this Germun
immigration, we should have a line of
steamers plying between some South
Atlantic port and some port of Ger
many, with a through rate of fare to all
the principal cities of the South. Our
county Agricultural Societies —and
every county should have such on as
sociation—should obtain written pro
posals, from leading planters in each
county, offering to sell or lease us
might be desired, tracks of 10, 20, 50
or 100 acres, at rates us low, or lower
than the prices ol Government lands.
Accompanying these proposals should
be descriptions of the character of the
lands—-their adaption to different sta
ples, dis'aucc from towns and railroads,
the average products per acre under
good tillage, average prices of products
in the nearest market ; with such other
information concerning length
of seasons, capacity to produce two
crop*, etc., •* would give a clew idea
of the condition and capabilities of thi*
latitude. These description* should be
confided to reliable agents, wbo should
visit the German States, and in the
most practicable way familiarise the
people with them. Intelligent German
ruaidsuta ot the South would be the
most efficient parties to undertake these
missions, because, from their familiarity
with the language and feelings of the
people, they could approach
readily, nnd would more
tnaud the confidence necessary to enlist
interest in the movement. There are
constantly iu Germany, Southern tour
ists, who could be induced to turn aside
from the pastime of sight-seeing, and
aid in s work so full of promise for their
native land.
It cannot be that Providence has
destined the magnificent soil nnd climate
of the South Atlantic nnd Gulf States
to be abandoned l>y white nnd black
alike, or to reinain.half tilled and thrift,
less, while the march ol empire sweep!
in a golden tide fur the icy borders ol
the wild nnd cheerless West. It is only
necessary to properly impress the poo
p'e of the crowded and ill-governed
States of Europe with the advantages
of our soil and climate, to divert to our
borders a large share of the labor and
capital which is so rapidly enriching
the West. This can only be done
thoroughly by a general movement ot
our people. Enterprising labor agents,
or local land companies, may do some
thing ; but they cannot grasp the sub'
ject with the effectiveness which its
magnitude deserves. Their efforts can
be but pebbles which make a ripple on
the surface, while to fully effect an ob
ject of such importance, the full tide of
public opinion must be stirred. The
prize to be gained—the development
of our loved sunny land—calls for the
earnest action of all our people. Is
there no influence that can be invoked
to wake up the people to thorough
cooperation in a work of such para
mount importance?
This hurried glance at what appears
to us the most available agency by which
to secure labor to till the lands of the
South may look like the dream an
enthusiast. If even a portion of our
people could estimate the importance of
the subject as we estimate it, there would
at once be the cooperation which is
necessary to its success. Individuals
cannot afford to send agents to Europe ;
and agents are not all that is required.
Those people must have the assurance, iu
black and white, that they will be wel
come, and that they havo a prospect of
doing as well or better at the South, as
their countrymen have done in the
West. It is too late to bring laborers
by this means or any other, for the
the coming crop; but it is not too late
to agitate the subject, so that our next
Legislature may not prove as indiffer"
ent as the last, to the true interests of
the State ; but may be induced to aid
in establishing the needed communica
tion with Europe, and in sending out
agents; or at least tender some expres
sion of welcome to foreign immigra
tion.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
Many of the best citizens of Georgia
and Alabama are removing to Texts.
The Atlanta Intelligencer says Lip
man’s Circus is more show bills than
show.
Among the letters advertised in
Atlanta is one for F. M. Loftin, Au
gusta.
The usual dullness of Athens, Ga.,
was enlivened the other day by a woman
whipping her husband through the
streets with a large hickory.
Henry M. Turner, a colored preacher
in Macon, publishes an article in the
Telegraph, advising his brethren not to
go to the West.
A Rome paper, noticing a restaurant
in that city, kept by a man named
Stewart, accidentally spelled his name
Stew-a-rat, wher e-rat the Courier face
tiously intimates that it is not a Chinese
concern.
The New Plan of Reconstruction,
liumors and vague hints have for
some time been published, that a plan of
adjustment of the sectional difficulties
under which the country has been labor
ing, had been agreed upon, in a confer
ence in which Northern and Southern
politicians had united, and the plan also
was said to have met the concurrence of
President Johnson.
The new programme has at length
been published, and in a shape which
appears authoritative, and differs in few
points from the rejected Constitutional
Amendment. The points of difference
are, however, very important, audit may
be well to designate them:
The first section, of the new pro
gramme, (to wit: The Union shall be
perpetual, and no State shall pass any
Ordinance of Secession,) does not ap
pear in the rejected Amendment, and
as it is a mere “glittering generality,"
is of no importance. When secession is
again attempted, it will be as it was be
fore, by armed revolution, befure which
all Constitutions—amended or not—go
down. The provision may put at rest
any ideas that there exists a Con
stitutional right of peaceable secession;
but, for the most part, that idea was ex
ploded with, the first gun fired against
Sumter. A peaceful right which had
to be asserted by war, looked too tpuch
like an absurdity to commend itself to
the good sense of even its most zealous
advocates- This provision merely con
signs to the grave what Las now been
dead some years. The latest version
(that presented to Congress) of the firs)
clause, however, contains only the words
The Union under the Constitution shall
bo perpetual," omitting altogether the
prohibition to pass ordinances of seces
sion. In which form it is to be presen
ted to the States for ratification, does
not appear, and perhaps makes no dif
ference, for if tfie Union is perishable, as
all human works are, no mere words can
make it perpetual.
The Second Section ot the new plan,
contains S declaration that the Federal
debt shall be inviolate, and thattio debt
incurred by rebellion against the author
ity of the United States shall be paid.
At first sight it appears to have nearly
the same force as the 4th section of the
old Amendment; but there are some
omissions which appear significant.
Pephnps we cannot better illustrate the
difference than by placing the clauses
Flrjertfd Amendment.
Sec. 4. The validi
ty of the public debt
of the United States,
authorized by law, in
eluding debt- incurred
for payment of pen
sions and bounties, for
services in noppressing
insurrection and rebel
lion, shall not be
questioned. But
neither tbo United
Ststes nor any State
shall assume or pay
any debt or obliga
tion incurred in aid
of insurrection or re
bellion against the
United States, or any
claim for the lose or
emancipation of any
slave, but all such
debts, obligations, or
claims, shall be held
illegal and not'd.
in juxtaposition: .
.Vein Amendment.
Sac. 2. The public
debt of the United
States, authorised by
law, shall ever be held
sacred and inviolate
but neither the Uni
ted Stater, nor any
State shall assume or
pay any debt or obli
gatinn incurred in aid
of insurrection or re
hellion against the
Government or au
thority of tho United
States.
\ a
•We submit the two clauses for the
'judgment of our readers, merely point
ing out that if the new Amendment
becomes a part of the Constitution,
there will be no Constitutional objec.
tion to the passage of a law by Con
gress to pay slaveholders for the loss of
their property by emancipation, and it
is not impossible that the losers of every
other species of property may be re
munerated. So far as we can discern
there is nothing in either to prevent
such remuneration, provided the proper
ty was not lost in aid of the “rebellion.”
If our judgment is correct, the United
States will have a heavy bill to pay for
Sherman’s raid through Georgia and
Carolina ; for the value of the properly
lost by Sherman’s exploit cannot be
said to be “a debt incurred in aid of
insurrection or rebellion”—indeed, its
destruction very materially aided the
United States Government.
The third section of the now proposed
Amendment is precisely, and word for
word, the same as the first section ot
the odious rejected Amendment. It is
simply a nullification of the decision of
the Supreme Court in the Dred Seolt
case, and declares that negroes, as well
as everybody else born or naturalized
in the United States, shall be citizens
Stare decisis seems a motto for
gotten in the country ot late
though it never was a rule i n
Georgia, which never permitted the de
cisions of the Supreme Courts to stand
in the way of her will, and the only sig
nificance that Georgia ever attached to
the appellation of Supreme to the Courti
was that it justified her in holding its
decisions in supreme contempt.
Tlie fourth section of the new plan
differs in effect from the second section
of the rejected Amendment, in so much
as it prevents any abridgment or denial
of the elective franchise, on account of
participation in the rebellion. If per
sons otherwise qualified are not allowed
to vote “on account of race, or color, or
previous condition of servitude,” they
shall not be counted in the basis of
representation. Herein consists its dif
ference with she rejected Amendment,
the latter prescribing that “if any of the
male inhabitants,” otherwise qualified,
are denied the franchise the basis of
representation, shall be reduced in pro
portion to their number. The differ
ence does not appear very material.
The lest clause of the fourth section
seems to infringe on the rights hereto
fore exercised by each State, to pre
scribe the qualifications of its voters.
True, it does not in terms dictate what
those qualifications shall be, but it
restricts the power within certain limits,
bevond which the State cannot pass.
A State shall require no more than
$250 worth of taxable property as a
property qualification, nor more as an
educational qualification, than the abil
ity to read in the English language, the
Constitution of the United States. There
is not much danger, under this pro
vision, that the ballot box will be much
Africanized during the present genera
tion ; and if it becomes a part of the
Constitution, it may prove a heavy blow
to Thad. Stevens and other members of
Congress from Pennsylvania, large
numbers of whose constituents have
never learned to speak or read English,
but are still unmitigated and unmixed
Germans.
Nothing appears in the new plan sim
ilar to the 3d section of the old Amend
ment. The clause excluding from office,
those office holders who participated in
the rebellion is expunged. Thisomis
sion will, of course, render the new
scheme very acceptable to that class
of the population, and as that clause
undoubtedly caused the rejection of the
old Amendment, it will commend the
new one to the favorable consideration
of the Legislatures. True, negro suffrage,
qualified as it is, may be a hard pill to
swallow, but who would not submit
to if, when wo thereby replace in power
those great and good men who have
heretofore ill peace and war guided us
so wisely and so well ? The Test Oath
still stands in the way, but the Supreme
Court has already so diluted it, that it
can soon be wiped out.
We have thought the foregoing imper
feet comparison of the two plans proper,
that it should not again bo said there
was suppression by the press, of the dis
cussion of measures in which the people
wore vitally interested. Wo think it
best that the truth in rotation to those
measures should bo fully known and
their effect fully understood by the peo
ple, and wo intend at somo future time
to discuss the Amendment which is
proposed to be inserted in the State
Constitutions, which defines the qua i
fieutious of voters. Qrisui's.

THE BRIDE OF DEATH.
gone from the altar to the TOMB I
Suggested by th* Burial of Kri lr. —Bride of
Thomas P. Urahoh —only child of Thomas
P. Stovala.
BT CARRfB BUM, SINCLAIR.
“Bring flowers—fresh flowers—for thsbride
to wear,
They were born to blush in her shining
.hair !’*—
Bring flowers —p»le flowers—to
strew her hier,
They have blossomed to shed their perfume
there!
’Tie but a little while since chimed
The happy marriage hell!
And the same church spire sounds to-day
The young bride’s funeral knell!
Another train moves slowly there,
With sad and mournful tread,
And her they crowned a bride that night
To-day is pale and dead 1
A few short months ago she moved,
The fairest in that throng—
Her smile the brightest one of all,
And her’s the sweetest song !
Here at this very altar knelt,
Theyoune and happy bride;
To pledge her love and trust to him
Who knelt there at her side.
And both are here again to day—
And she is clothed in while!
But where arc all the happy smiles
That blessed her on that night ?
Gone !—and a sadder tribute now
Affection offers here;
And only tears —sad falling tears,
Fall on the young Bride's Bier !
Fond hearts before that altar now
Bow there in bitter pain;
For she—the Bride of Death to-day —
Will ne'er come back again !
The pure white flowers that press her brow
Twined too her bridal wreath,
And spotless robes enfold her now,
The fair young Bride of Death !
A few short years of happiness !
And fresh in Beauty’s bloom,
Young Effie has been gathered
From the Altar to the Tomb !
Ah ! who can look into those hearts
And read their bitter woe?
And who can tell the anguish now
These stricken ones must know ?
To turn their footsteps home again
And see her vacant chair !
And feel as only they can feel
Who meet no loved one there !
Tho flowers within that home perchance
Will blossom just as bright—
But on the fairest of them all
Death’s hand has laid its blight!
Ah ! other smiles may linger there,
And other voices, too ;
But one is silent —and it was
The sweetest one they knew !
Tho sunshine from that home is gone,
And all the world seems drear;
And all their hopes have perished now
With Effie!—young and fair!
’T»s sad to see the steps of age
Fast tottering to the tomb—
And Death—e’en when it calls the old
Must cloud the heart with gloom ;
But, oh ! when Youth and Beauty fade,
And Love's fond hopes are crushed !
’Tis hard to know the idol here f T.
Must crumble into dust!
God pity those who weep to-day
Above lair Effie’s bier !
And Angels robe the spotless bride
In garments white and fair !
Ah ! life is but a fleeting span—
And fast the moment’s fly—
And Youth and Age alike must fade,
For all were born to die!
Augusta, Ga., February 14 th, 1567.
SOUTH CAROLINA ITEMS.
The Charleston News complains of the
dark, gloomy, and dangerous solitudes
of the burnt district, which afford shelter
to robbers and vagabonds of every
shade, and suggests that it be lighted
with gas, as of yore.
The congregation of St. Mary’s
Church, Charleston, have purchased a
new organ—the old one having been
destroyed by shells during the siege of
the city. The New instrument is a
large and fine one, from the factory of
Erben & Cos., New York.
John Shepherd, the groat walkist,
who walked into us to the tune of seve
ral dollars, was attacked with chills on
Sunday last, while engaged in a SIOOO
wager to walk a 1000 miles in a 1000
hours, and gave up the stakes. We
trust he will next walk like Tom Walker
—“ walk right away”—until we shall
hear no more of him.
The chimes of St. Michael’s have just
arrived in Charleston, and will soon
resume their old place, from which they
so long pealed out the merry hours to
the good old city.
MEXICAN ITEMS.
We glean from late Mexican reports
the following items. If any of our
readers doubt the truth of them, they
are at perfect libeity to wait for the next
instalment:
Canales is not shot as reported, and
as all lovers of law and order hoped.
Cortina is robbing, pillaging, and
conscripting.
The Imperialists were seizing men
and horses to aid in holding the city of
Mexico.
Maximilian and Castlenau,the French
Minister, had had a stormy interview.
The Liberals have entered Tehomemo,
and are assassinating men and ravishing
women.
A battle was fought at Jalapa, in
which the French were victorious.
The French hold all goods in the
custom house at Vera Cruz since the
15th ult.
Ortega is to be tried by court mar
tial.
Miramon and Mejia were marching on
San Luis, with 7,000 men.
Maximilian was to capitulate on the
sth.
Great improvements are being made
in Mutamoras under tho administration
of Baniouaadal. Merchants have con
fidence that order will bo maintained.
—Old l)r. A was a quack—a
very ignorant one. On one occasion he
was called by mistake to attend a coun
oil of physicians in a critical case.
After considerable discussion the opin
ion was expressed by one that the
patient was convalescent. When it
came Dr. A’s turn to speak—“con
