The DAILY PRESS la ttlao the Official Paper of the City of AttEuatn. havinf been elected by the City Council at their Official Orfaa. The Chronicle and Sentinel on Duty. Our “old Conservative” (so called) cotcmporary up the street, treated its Sunday readers to a heavy leader, of a column and a half, the burthen of which is whistling up moral courage by which nineteen twentieths ot the people shall refuse to act for themselves because one twentieth are disqualified. We take the liberty of makings few extracts from the article : The recent action of Congress de claring the existing State Governments of the lately seceded States null and void, and the perfect obliteration by that action of all Stato lines and demar cations, together with the disfranchise ment of all the intelligent and leading minds of the South and the enfranchise ment of the whole black population, ig norant and besotted as it „i.s known to be, calls for the exerciie, on the part of the white people of our section, of the highest degree of virtue mid courage. Are not “the existing State Govern ments” continued as Provisional ? Are there no “intelligent and lending minds of the South” except those who had, previous to 1861, held office under the State or United States Governments? None others are affected by “the recent action ot Congress”—and we have too high an opinion of the worth and ability of the citizens of Georgia to believe that “our best men" were all office holders in and previous to 1860. We could name, here in our City, many promising young lawyers who have distinguished themselves in our army, and in onr courts since the war, who never took an oath of alligiauce to the United States, and who could, if called upon, serve their country and State again with credit, as civil officers. Again, The Sherman bill, which, at one blow, strikes down the organizations and insti tutions of nearly a century’s growth, and substitutes for them a military despot ism, cannot, in our judgment, be avoided or softened in its application by any action of ours in its favor. 15ad as that measure most unquestionably is, destructive alike to personal liberty and free government, and to all which freemen hold dear on this earth, there might be some excuse for our people endorsing it, if by so doing they could, in the slightest degree, soften its features or mitigate its horrors. But nothing which we can do will contribute to such a result. If we endorse and accept its previsions, and thereby proclaim our own shame and humiliation, we shall be in no better condition than if trusting under Providence to the second sober thought of the American people. We patiently submit to the harsh and de grading exactions of the Bill and try to work out our salvation by a course of manly forbearance ami passive resis tance to its unholy provisions. Is “our judgment” correct? Does not the bill provide a way of escape from “military despotism” by reorgan izing the State Governments ? In 1860 we had our institution of slavery—perhaps the wisest labor system ever devised. Under similar advice we tried active resistence to improve our condition, and for four years added glory and graves to our country in continuing it. At the end of those years the system •was abolished and we impoverished. In 1865-’G6 we could have formed State Governments, aW white men voting, and decided the negro franchise our selves. Under similar advice we tried "passive resistance," aud now ,ve have the Sherman bill. Is there no logic in events? Again, We hope and trust that our people will not take counsel from their fears and rush headlong into tho trap set for them by Congress in this bill. There should be—we believe we may say there can be—no dissension amongst us. We. are all in the same boat—if it go down all must perish ; but if, under the provi dence ot God, favoring breezes strike our sails and drive our bark into a port of safety, let us attempt to secure the safety of all the crew. Are we “all in the same boat ?” Sup pose “favoring breezes should not strike our sails and drive our bark into a port of safety ?” We know that a large ma jority of the crew are already safe j and would not a wise sailor run the boat into port with the best breeze he could get, and trust to Congress to save the bal ance of the crew ? These are the questions the people must decide, and they do not need ad vice, nor will they “take counsel from their fears. 1 1 heir course for six years past proves their courage. Citizens’ Meeting. A communication appears in our paper this morning over the signature of “Citizen,” calling a meeting of the citizens of Richmond county, at the City Ilall on Saturday next, to consider the new Reconstruction Rill and the policy ot tho Slate. Meetings of this character are being held in several counties ot the State, and it is perhaps well, that Richmond county should take part in them. It would be well, there fore, for all who can attend to do so, aud freoly aud kindly iulorckungo a wa- timents. Whatever we do, let ua act in harmony and unity, we cannot afford to divide at thia juncture of our affair*; but must remember that “in union there is atrength,” and that in “the multitude of counsellor# there is wisdom,” Let the attendance therefore be largo and general. The Reconitruotion Bill. The position of a public journalist af the present time, is a very delicate one. To advise the people what to do in a crisis like the one which is now upon ui, ie to assume an almost fearful responsi bility ; and we shrink from the task. We cannot say to our readers, consci entiously, adopt one or the other of the alternatives which this bill gives them ; and yet we can see no other course to pursue. To talk about resistance, is the veriest nonsense, and to talk about submission to military authority is idle. The New York lime* very truly says: The suddenness with which the Recon struction Bill has come upon the South seems for the moment to baffle its cal culations. The people have not recov ered from the surprise occasioned by the passage of the measure through Congress, and are evidently at a loss in regard to the full scope of its provisions. We must wait awhile for the meansof forming a positive judgement as to the disposition of those affected by the measure. It is this suddenness which confuses the public mind ; and it is only with time and a calmer consideration than we can now give the subject, that a proper decision can be arrived at. When therefore, we say, that it is for the peo ple of the State to decide what course to pursue, we do not urge them to any hasty and violent action. It will be some days yet before the bill can go into practical effect, and in the mean time we should all counsel together, as friends and brothers, as to the be3t and wisest actiou to be taken in the prem ises. In the meantime, it may be interest ing and instructive to know what the leading Republican journals have to say on this subject. The New York Times being the most conservative and the most, friendly towards the South, we take more interest in its outgivings than those of other Northern journals. That paper shows that several of the leading Democratic journals favor the bill ; showing that there is no hope for the South from that part; and then con tinues : Besides, while the Supreme Court may set aside a peculiar enactment, it can not relieve the South from the dominion of Congress. It may cause delay, but it can in no respect extricate the South from its position. And mean while Congress will adopt yet harsher measures, and the Northern people, incensed by what will be considered Southern contumacy, will sustain Con gress in its course. In all probability the personnel of the Supreme Court will, before then, be in harmony with Congress. So that, as ihe Richmond Times points ont, the South will com mit a fatal blunder if it relies upon a judicial decision to secure more leuieut conditions. * In regard to the passive policy, the Times says : Its phi'osophy is limited to the fact that after the flow of the tide comes the ebb; forgetting that the ebb will bring no relief to those whom the flow may have drowned. ****** et il nt how is all this to help the South ? What benefit will it confer? What rights restore? The South will remain out of the Union, and the exclusive power of determining the conditions ot restora tion will continue vested in Congress. With this fixed fact before it, what profit, or convenience, or dignity can nonresistance and nonaction filing to the South ? The plan “appears to be entirely per missive and not obligatory,” remarks the Montgomery Mail. We think that the assumption is not warranted. Con gress has provided a method of recon struction, under which the existing State Legislatures may take the initiative by providing lor the assembling of the con templated convention. It does not fol low, however, that it the local legisla tures neglect the opportunity, recon struction will be indefinitely postponed. The next step will be to provide for the election of delegates by other than local legislative action ; and the men who now imagine that their obstinacy will suffice to thwart the objects of the law, will discover to their cost that recon struction may be carried out without them. Ry these extracts it will be observed that the Times takes the positions : 1. That there is no help to be expected from the Democratic party. 2. None from the Supreme Court. 3. That if the Legislalure does not proceed to “reconstruct,” some outside authority will. Now these are points which we submit for the consideration of the people. They must act with prudence, with pa triotism, and with an eye single to the peace and welfare of the country. Surely, our position is an unfortunate one ; but we must endeavor not to make it worse than it is. Whatever wo do, let us act unitedly and harmoniously. Division and dissension among ourselves will only make our situation more un happy, while union will give us strength and courage to hear our ilI5 aud wisdom to guide us in our councils. Urging our people to act for tl e best, we commend our beloved section to the care and guidance of a just and watch fui Providence. The Situation- Much hits been said, written, and printed in the way of explanation and advice, in the political journals of our State and of the South generally, upon the subject of our situation ; the causes which have brought it upon us, and our duty as a people. We have not presumed to offeralvice ; we believe that when the people know and appreciate tho facts of the case, they will act promptly and properly without advice, at least from us. As we understand the subject of cor troubles and their relation to the past, present, and future, it is about this : In 1860 a Republican President was con stitutionally elected ia the United States The principle* of that party being considered antagonistic to the doctrine of State sovereignty and to the institu tion of African slavery, our political leaders, as a general rule, advised with drawal from the Government of tfce United States. That government refus ing to abandon a fortified post in Charleston Harbor, military force under the direction of a confederation of the Sontheru States who had withdrawn from the United States, was used to eject the United States and possess the Fort. War followed, the United States fighting for the supremacy of its author ity, aud we to maintain the sovereign right of the States. We were over powered, and the laws of Congress are the supreme authority in the States and Territories. We cannot change or suc cessfully resist them now. Had we succeeded, our war would have been a Revolution, and the participants would have been Patriots. The couquerors call it a Rebellion, aud our people Rebels. This, iu brief, we believe to be the facts, divested of the putty of political dog mas, and the varnish of antique Supreme Court Constitutional decisions. So far as the material interest and prosperity of our country is concerned, we have everything to gain, nothing to lose by giving the people a full under standing of the public matters which now concern us all, and thus enable them to act independently. The Still Small Voice of Truth.— A private letter received train a leading Baptist clergymau of the South, dated at Richmond, Va., to a friend in Albany, says : “It is sad to think how passion does pervert the judgements, even of good men. i have an opportunity of noticing the letters written from the South to the religious press ot the North, mostly from anonymous authors. There are evils at the South, and evils that good men deplore, but I verily believe that nine tenths of the stories of Southern cruelty to freed men are false or grossly exagerated. I know of no cruelty practiced on them in this region, but there is a prevalent desired to treat them kindly, and to make the best of the the embarrassing condition in which we have all been placed ” Special Notices.
