Organ*
The Atlanta Meetings.
The telegraph furnished ns a brief
account of the meetings held in Atlanta,
on Monday, “to take into consideration
the duty of Georgia in the pending
crisis.” The Atlanta papers, on Tues
day morning, contain full reports of
the proceedings, which it appears were
of quite an exciting character.
The first meeting, called at 10 o’clock
A. M., was organized, with Richard
Peters, Esq., as Chairman, and H. P.
Farrow and Wm. L. Scruggs, as Secre
taries. A committee was appointed to re
port resolutions, consisting of Col. H. P.
Farrow, Chairman—V. A. Gaskitl, E. E.
Rawson, J. G. Harris, I. G. Mitchell, C.
P. Cassin, E. E. Hnlbert, T. W. J. Hill,
and Col. J. J. Morrison.
While they were absent, the meeting
was addressed by Mr. J. L. Dunning,
Col. G. W. Adair, and Mr. Bowen,
The Committee reported resolutions
recommending the acceptance of the
plan of reconstruction passed by Con*
gress, (which were adopted by a subse
quent meeting, as reported by telegraph
to this paper,) which were received amid
some confusion. Col. Farrow sustained
the resolutions in a brief speech, when
Col. L. J. Glenn offered as a substitute
resolutions recommending the people (/
Georgia to remain passive, and wait
for the developments of the future.
Col. T. C. Howard offered a series of
resolutions, protecting against the in
justice of the bill, declaring its accept
ance to be political suicide, and assert
ing our sincere desire to obey the laws
and do justice to men of all colors and
from all sections.
A motion by Mr. Gaskill, to lay the
resolutions of Col. Glenn and Col. How
ard on the table caused great confusion,
and the convention adjourned until 7
o’clock P. M*
After the motion to adjourn prevailed,
those in favor of Col. Glenn’s resolutions
were requested to remain, and a meet
ing was re organized with Hon. L. J.
Gartrell as Chairman, and John C.
Whitner as Secretary.
Col. Glenn then offered his resolutions
which were as follows:
Resolved, That in view of the pre
sent condition of the Southern States,
and the passage of the military bill by
the House of Representatives over the
President’s veto, it is, we think, the
duty and the policy of the people of
Georgia, to remain quiet, and thereby
preserve their self-respect, their man
hood and their honor.
Resolved, That in the event said bill
has become a law, we trust that Gov
ernor Jenkins, cither alone or in con
junction with the Governors of other
Southern States, will, at once, take the
necessary steps to have the constitu
tionality of said law tested before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Fulton county, tender to his Excellency
President Johnson our heartfelt thanks
for bi3 patriotic effo-ts to protect the
Constitution of the United States, and
save the liberties of the people.
Resolved, That copies of these reso
lutions be forwarded to his Excellency
the President of the United States, and
to his Excellency Governor Jenkins.
Speeches were made by Col. J. J.
Morrison, Col. G. W. Adair and Col.
K. A. Alston, and the resolutions were
almost unanimously adopted.
At night the adjourned meeting of
the morning re-assembled, Col. Peters in
the Chair, and T- W. J. Hill, Esq.,
acting as Secretary. The resolutions
reported, by the Committee (published
under our telegraph head) were re-read,
and after a few remarks from Col. Far
row, were adopted and the meeting ad
jourued, when Ex Gov. Brown entered
the Hall, and, in response to a general
call, discussed the pending issue in all
its bearings.
These meetings appear to have created
deep interest and considerable excite
ment in Atlanta, and the city papers
contain full reports of their proceed
ings. The Era still refrains from com
mitting itself to any line of policy, but
stands by the President, and urges com
pliance with the requirements of the
bill, as the law of the land, wish a hope
that a reconciliation between all parlies
may be effected, which will save the
country from final ruin.
ibe Intelligencer urges-moderation—
advises the people to let politics and
party alone, todie patient, audio endure
with that manliness which is character
istic as well of the wise as the brave.
A DetßotT Papbii tells of a very
beautiful young lady, who went tp that
city, ostensibly in search of a brother,
and soon succeeded in captivating a
youpg Michigander. She signified her
willingness to marry him, but said she
had been disappointed in getting money
from home, and would have to defer
the nuptials. The impatient youth sent
her SSOO, and when be called a day or
two after, found a note, informing him
that she was off to join her husband in
California-
Spirit of tin Prut.
The passage of the Sherman Military
Bill bring* a gratn issue directly home
Vo Vhe people of she States effected by
the eieeeure—en issue so effecting their
liberty and property, as to demand the
most dispassionate consideration. In or
der that oar readers may be advised of the
tone of the popular mind on the subject,
we shall from time to time present the
views, pro and con, which are advanced
in our exchanges, without reference to
the position which the Daily Pirns
will maintain. We deem this the fairest
and safest way of weighing and deciding
the momentous issue involved.
The Washington Republican says the
bill is inconsistent with the Constitu
tional Amendment, which forms a part
of it, in the fact that section five of the
military bill provides in each State for
the election of delegates “by the male
citizens of said State, twenty-one years
old and upward, of whatever race, color,
or previous condition," etc., etc., while
the Constitutional Amendment leaves
the question ot suffrage to the States*
In other words, the Constitntional
Amendment throws a tub to a whale
and bids for negro suffrage—leaving it
optional with the States to take to it
and its attending benefits or refuse it.
Hence the Military Reconstruction Bill
;s in direct conflict with the Constitu
tional Amendment.
That paper further says that the be
ginning of the bill—“ Whereas no legal
State governments gpovt exist’’—does
not accord very well with the 6th sec
tion of the same production, which
recognizes the illegal governments and
provides that they be only “provisional.”
The third section of the same bill says
the officer may allow “ local civil tri
bunals to take jurisdiction of and try
offenders,” Ac. How can there be a
“local civil vribunal" where there is “no
legal State government?”
The leading article in the New York
World of the 28th uIL, opens with the
following paragraph :
If the southern people should resist
the execution of martial law by force,
they would be fighting in as righteous a
cause as any in which a patriot ever
drew his sword. Armed resistance is
the natural and appropriate mode of re
dress for such flagrant injustice as is
now meditated against the South. 1 Re
sistance to tyrants is obedience to God.’
The only good reason for not appealing
to arms in this conjuncture is the hope
lessness of success.”
The Marietta Journal, alluding to
Gov. Brown's suggestion for a Conven
tion, says:
While it cannot be said that in this
instance Brown has catered to popular
prejudice, it may be said, with truth,
that he has given some very sensible
advice, however distasteful it may be to
most ot our people. We roust move now
in this matter to avoid complication still
more humiliating than anything yet be
fore us.
The National Intelligencer closes a
long and able political article with the
following paragraph:
A country that will acquiesce, in a
time of universal pence, in a measure
deliberately abrogating the Constitution
and laws in toio over half the nation,
yet affecting to keep them in force in
the other half, is a country ignorant of
its own Constitution, and, therefore, in
capable of a saving faith in it. Such a
people are ripe for self abasement, and
in imminent peril ot their freedom.
The Atlanta Era says there are three
parties in that city—those who sustain
Gov. Brown, those who oppose his
schedule, and those who are disposed,
with the Era, to wait for developments.
The Macon Telegraph denounces the
position assumed by Gov. Brown as
“monstrous.”
The editor of the Journal and Mes
senger endorses the suggestions of Gov.
Brown, but the Proprietors declare that
the paper must not be regarded as fa
voring any man or measure, and that
they are as ready to show the objections
to the me isure as t lie advantages.
The Hon. Ben Wade Nominated
foh President of the Senate.—The
Republicans of the Senate have in
caucus nominated Benjamin F. Wade,
of Ohio, for President of the Senate, in
place of Foster, of Connecticut, whose
term expires and who is superseded on
the 4th of March by Orris S. Ferry.
Foster is too near the conservative pat
tern of Dixon and Doolittle to suit his
party, and so he goes out. With the
meeting of the new Congress, therefore,
on Monday next, Mr. Wade will become
President of the Senate, and in the
event of the removal of Andrew John
son, acting President of the United
States pro tem. It is donhtless in view
of this contingency that Mr. Wade has
received this nomination. He has been
sixteen years in tbe Senate, and was a
trenchant Northern Radical when his
party in that body was a mere cor
poral’s guard. In 1860—’61 he and
Andy Johnson were about the only
members of the body of whom the
Southern fire-eating rebel -conspirators
were afraid. They used to say, “ Don’t
provoke old Ben, for ho means mis
chief.” With such a man in the White
House there will be no further tinkering
or temporizing with the rebel States,
aud Southern representative men in
Washington, if they have not taken
this hint to use their whole influence
with President Johnson to save himself,
will be apt soon to find that they are
out of the frying pan into the fire.—
New York Herald March 2.
Things in Georgia.—A correspon
dent of the Petersburg Express, writing
from Augusta evidently hus the blues.
He says:
“ Enterprise is ns dead bb if the coun
try was a desert. There is a little, sick
ly, puling trade in tbe necessaries of
life, in which purchasers buy by tile
ounce or pound, and sellers require to
see the greenbacks before they udjust
their scales and grasp their acoop.—
Values, as the word is understood
in communities at peace, arc about as
nominal as they wtAild have been to
Robinson Crusoe, and his freedman,
Friday. There are no commercial cal
culations, because there is no commerce.
J’lie happy few who have a little money
hold on to it like grim death, and heed
less of all the tempting offers of three,
four, five and even six per cent, a month,
with all sorts of collaterals, prefer to sit
and watch the hole in the wall where the
stocking is deposited, in the belief that
the bird in the hand is worth the whole
feathered creation in tho bush.
Aa Hoxmt With***.—A coma,
pondent of the New York Times, allud
ing to the charge* of crime and cruelty
to the negroei in the South, *ays:
In Georgia, I do positively maintain
that it ie incontrovertibly true, that the
people have not ill treated Union men,
or been cruel to negroes; that they are
studiously observant of the laws and
obedient to authority, and that there has
been less crime committed in the State
during the past year than in any previous
rear since it became thickly settled. I
have been in all parts of the State—
from Dahlonega to Bainhridge, from
Dalton to Brunswick—have mixed with
all classes ot the people, and have been
as observant of the acts and disposition
of the communities among which I so
journed as my opportunities permitted,
and I am prepared to testily that I have
never seen any persecution ol Union
men or negroes. I have not noticed any
disposition to persecute them, and I be
lieve at this boar that a Uniouist or a
negro can live assately and as free from
molestniion in uuy part of Georgia as
he can in Pennsylvania or any part of
New England.
Tax Dkrby Plan of Reform.—
Among the resolutions moved by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer in Com
mittee ot the Whole House in the British
Parliament, is the following :
That the number of electors for conn
ties and boroughs in England and Waie3
ought to be increased ; that such in
crease may be best effected by both re
ducing the value of the qualifying tene
ments in counties and boroughs, and by
adding other franchises not dependent
on such value: that while it is desirable
that a more direct representation should
be given to the laboring class, it is
contrary to the Constitution of this realm
to give to any one class or interest a
predominating power over the rest of
the community; that the principle of
plurality of votes, it adopted by Parlia
ment, would facilile the settlement of
the borough franchise on an extensive
basis ; that it is expedient to revise the
existing distribution of seats ; that in
such revision it is not expedient that
any borough now represented in Parlia
ment should be wholly di.-frauchised ;
that in revising the existing distribution
cl seats, this House will acknowledge,
as its main consideration, the expediency
of supplying representation to places
not at present represented, and which
may be considered entitled to that priv
ilege ; that it is expedient that provision
should be made for the better prevention
of bribery and corruption at electious.
The recent Davis Tombola in Colum
bus realized between SB,OOO and $4,000,
which is to be forwarded to Mr. Davis.
The Enquirer of Saturday says the dis
tribution of prizes was highly amusing.
A box of blacking would be assigned to
a beautiful maiden, baby socks to bach
elors and old maids, dolls to unmarried
elderly gentlemen, and china babies to
numbers, while others received whistles,
toys, pictures, pickles, bottles of cham
pagne, brandy, brandy peaches, mus
tard, pepper, tacks, and every natnable
article.
The Central Georgian says an unfor
tunate duel, with double barrel shot
guns, was fought on the 10th ultimo,
near Four Mile Branch, in Barnwell
District, South Carolina, between Dr.
M. Bellinger and O. S. Prentiss, in
which the latter was severely wounded.
