THE LEGISLATURE.
Got. Brown, in hi* late letter on re
construction, aars:
It onlj remains for me to add, that I
consider it the duty of the Governor of
Georgia to call the Legislature together
without delay, and to recommend the
passage ot au act calling a convention
of the people of this State, to so change
onr State Constitution as to provide tor
universal suffrage in conformity to the
measure which has passed Congress,
known as the Sherman amendment;
and to provide for the early election oi
a Legislature which will adopt the Con
stitutional Amendment in accordance
with said requirement. We now have
the assurance of Congress in the pass
age ot this lull, that this shall settle the
question of our admission. We shall
never got better terms. Let us comply
with them, and be ready to be repre
sented in the next Congress as soon as
possible.
I respectfully suggest that the people
of the several counties of the State who
favor the proposed action, hold public
meetings, with as little delay as possible,
mid urge upon the Governor to convene
the legislature and recommend them to
take prompt action. The Governor and
Legislature were elected before the Con
stitutional Amendment was proposed,
and 1 respectfully submit that it is their
imperative duty, in the present condi
tion of the country, to take the neces
sary steps to refer this question to the
people at the ballot box. The most ap
propriate mode of doing this, is to order
an election for delegates to a Conven
tion, to act upon the proposition now
submitted by Congress. This they can
not with propriety refuse, if the people
demand it. Let the people speak.
The citizens of Atlanta will hold n
meeting on this subject to-morrow ; and
several of our citizens have suggested
such a meeting of the citizens ot this
County at ari early day. It is well that
some action should be taken, and ii the
people want prompt action,the best way
to get it is to hold County meetings and
give public expression to their views.
In connection with this subject we
give the following list of persons affect
ed by the bill, which will be of interest
at this time.
1. All persons who. before the war,
were members of Congress or officers of
the United States and took the oath to
support the Constitution of the United
States and afterwards engaged in the
rebellion.
2. All persons who, prior to the war.
were executive, legislative, or judicial
officers of the State and took the like
oath, and engaged in the rebellion.
This embraces Governors, members of
the Legislature, and judicial officers,
from a Judge ot the Supreme Court
down to a Justice of the Peace, who,
at any time, held the office and took the
oath and afterwards engaged in the re
bellion.
Who, then, are not excluded ?
1. No one is excluded because he
held an office tinder the Confederate
States from President down, if he does
not fall within one of the excluded
classes above spectlied. The simple fact
that ho was a Confederate Senator or a
Confederate General, or that he took an
oath to support the Constitution of the
Confederate States, does not exclude
him.
2. No State or county officer is ex
cluded on account of his having held the
office and taken the oath and engaged
in the rebellion, if he were not an ex
ecutive, legislative, or judicial officer,
t. eref ire, n -.flier a lawyer, sheriff, clerk,
tax co.lector, receiver, county treasurer,
coroner, surveyor, constable, or road
commissioner is excluded.
3. As no man under twenty one years
of age. when the war began, held any
such office as disqualified, and none of
them took the oatli to support the Con
stitution of the United States during
the war, and as the war commenced
nearly six years ago, no man in Geor
gia under twenty seven years of age can
be excluded.
4. officers are not excluded.
b. she whole mass of our people who
fall within none ot the excluded classes
above mentioned, are free from the dis
qualification, and may vole and hold any
office in the State without regard to the
part they took in the war.
Ukiversity of tiif. South. —The
Trustees of this institution recently held
a special meeting at Montgomery, at
which it wag determined to open a
school for boys at University Place, to
the control and direction of which the
best talent attainable in the country
will be secured, and every arrange
ment made to make it in the fullest
sense worthy of tbe name which it will
bear of the University High School,
prepared to furnish a thorough and judi
cious training for advancement into
higher classes and schools of the Uni
versity which it is intended afterwards to
establish. The only present need is the
erection of a few plain buildings, and
Bishop Quintard will visit the different
dioceses lor the purpose of raising the
funds required. Otey Hall, at Scwaune,
which was erected by Bishop Quintard
as a mission and training school, has
been donated by bim to the uses of the
proposed school, and accepted. Bishop
Wilmer has taken a lively interest in the
enterprise, and it is hoped the basis will
soon be laid for an institution which will
fulfill the design of the projectors of tlie
University, whose completion was inter
rupted by the events of the last few
years.
—The rice crops in China have been
greatly injured by floods, and much suf
fering prevails among the people.
Got. Brown’* Letter.
The New York Harold thus deals
with Governor Browe’s late Reconstruc
tion letter:
We published some extmeta yester
day from a letter from fix Governor
Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, pre
pared- for circulation in the South on
the subject of reconstruction ami the
politianl situation of the Southern States.
They are marked by pood sense and
sound advice, and they express substun
tially the views we have been urging all
along upon the Southern people. Tjiey
give ns a ray of hope that light is about
to break in upon the South as to its real
situation and the folly of resisting the will
and iw>wer of the North. It other lead
ing public men ot the rebel Slates will
follow Governor Brown's course recon
struction may be consummated within a
short time. .
Mr. Brown says“lf we re)ect the
terms proposed lu the Sherman bill, I
confess I see uo hope for the future.
Should we accept them I trust the ex
ample of Georgia may he followed by
other States, and that this vexed ques
tion may soon be permanently settled
upon the best terms which we will ever
be able to get. I am aware of the
rapidity of the changes which we are
required to make, and of the natural
prejudices which our people entertain
against negro suffrage; but we should
not forget that in yielding to an inevit
able necessity these people were raised
among us and naturally sympathize
with us. Their conduct during the war
proved this. If, then, we treat them
kindly, pay them their wages promptly,
and in all respects deal justly by them,
we shall seldom have cause to complain
of their refusal to respect our wishes or
consult our interest at the ballot box. 1 ’
He therefore urges upon the Governor
to call the Legislature of the State to
gether without delay, and to recommeud
the passage of au act calling a conven
tion to change the State constitution, so
as to provide for universal suffrage, in
conformity with the Sherman Bill, and
also to provide for the early election of
a Legislature which will adopt the Con
stitutional Amendment, in accordance
with the requirement of snid Bill.
This is the only way of salvation for
the South. The people of that section
have lost already opportunities of being
restored, through their obstinaev, igno
rance and bad feeling. They might be
now enjoying all the privileges of Ame
rican citizens had they not stupidly re
jected the terms offered. They lost
sight of their powerless condition and
that they were completely at the mercy
of their conquerors. They foolishly
imagined that the North would concede
their claim to political rights which they
had really forfeited hy the war. Not
understanding either their own situation,
or the temper of the public mind at the
North, they showed their teeth when
they ought to have bowed their heads in
submission to the fate they had brought
upon themselves. This had a bad effect
upon the people of the loyal States.
The politicians saw what was taking
place in the public miud, and seized the
opportuniiy to make capital out of it.
The consequence was that harder terms
of restoration were demanded by the
patrv in power. It the Southern States
had adopted the Constitutional Amend
raent they would have been restored
upon that condition. Having rejected
that, the Sherman bill, with harder con
ditions. is now offered. Should they
show hostility to this measure the con
sequences will be still worse. General
confiscation and prolonged military rule
mijfbt fellow; for the North is deter
mined to crush out the seeds and rem
uants of rebellion and to hold control of
political power. Mr. Brown wisely say<,
“if we reject the terms pr.ipo ed in the*
Sherman bill, I confess 1 see no hope for
the future.” These truthful and em
phatic words should sink deep into the
heart of every Southerner. yAll who
love their country and would save it and
themselves from ruin should take Gov.
Brown’s advice—should throw overboard
the old sesesh politicians and begin a
new polirtcal existence.
•The Tide of German Emigration.
The prospects opened to us by foreign
emigration this year are of the most
cheering character. According to all
appearances the influx of thrifty, hard
woikiug artisans and laborers will be
greater than has ever before been known
in the history of the country. From
Germany alone, as will have been seen
by the letters of our Berlin and Munich
correspondents, we may count upon re
ceiving within the next ten months an
addition to our population of at least
one hundred and silty thousand. There
is no speculation in the statement, for
the weekly steamers from Bremen and
Hamburg, with five or six extra ones,
have all their places secured up to the
month ot November. Taking into the
account the further numbers that will be
brought over by sailing vessels and the
return steamers that make extra trips to
take visitors to ti e Paris Exposition, we
we may set down the aggregate from
Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland in
the period named as at a little short ot
two hundred thousand.
Tbe causes influencing this immense
movement are, first, the conviction that
is gradually spreading among the masses
in Germany that our political troubles
arc over, and, secondly, the fear of con
scription at home. In Prussia this lat
ter leeling operates to such an extent
that in some of the villages of tile older
provinces a third of their inhabitants
will leave in the spring.
It should be the policy ot our national
and State Legislatures to give every en
couragement possible to the movement.
The prompt adoption of the Congres
sional plait of reconstruction by the
South, the modification of the present
unwise and almost prohibitory tariff,
and an avoidance of those fanatical ex
tremes in legislation which war against
the ideas and habits of our adopted citi
zens, are among the things that will
most conduce to it. We must dispel
any lingering belief that may exist
abroad as to there beiug a chance of the
revival of civil war among us. We
must prove by a very differently framed
tariff irom tbe present one that we are
not behind the rest ol the world in the
appreciation of the truths of political
economy ; but more especially must we
Satisfy those desiring to immigrate that
in seeking freedom ol thought and action
here they will not make a poor exchange
for the system of the government un
der which they have been living. In
other words we must not allow for ianat
ical or other objects such an interfer
ence with the iuuocent amusements and
enjoyments to which they have been
accustomed us would not be tolerated in
their owu country under the most rigid
ol despotisms.
We are emphatic on this latter point,
because the tendency towards Pharisai
cal legislation observable in our Stute
legislatures bears particularly hard upon
our German fellow-citizens. When wo
consider their habits ol sobriety and in
dustry, their love of open air’ amuse
ments, and tbe beneficial effect of tbeir
example on the other lorcigu elements
ot our population, it becomes our duty
to protest against restrictions which
must end by disgusting them with out
institutions and prevent the further in*
flow of immigration from the tame
quarter.
The above is from the New York
Herald , of the 271 h ult
We cannot refrain from expressing
the hope that a conviction may spread
among the masses in Germany that our
political troubles are over, mid thnt
“conscription” is among the things for
ever buried.
If the industrious Germans would
come among us the “ old fields” and
“ pine barrens” near our city would soon

Among the “ answers to correspond
ents” in the Vicksburg Times are the
following, which we transfer to our
columns, of universal interest:
Orphan. —ls your mother’s first cou
sin’s brother-in-law married your family
physician’s aunt, the family physician’s
last patient's eldest daughter’s intended
husband should inherit the property.
See Coke on Gas Works.
Kate. —The remark of your husband
was cruel, that “he had rather lose bis
wile than his diamond pin,” but you
must remember that a wife can be bad
for the asking, while a diamond pin
cannot.”
A Chicago reporter, describing a
masked ball, remarks: “ If there are
prettier women than blonds, they are
brunettes. Cleopatra was a brunette*
Berenice was a brunette. Rachel was a
brunette, and so is Miss L. If one
wants a f’iit, a brunette ; if one
wants a cook, take a blonde. She Ims
no inspirations, but she is reliable. If
one wants a wife, take neither.”—Ex
