It is of men like these that the Con
stitutionalist says:
“ Their genius for solving vexed ques
tions nj State is not in the highest condi
tion of intellectual health or ingenuity.''
Because they presume to recommend
to the people a prompt and hearty
cooperation in reestablishing the politi
cal position of the States urox the
basis or the laws or coNußiss, they
are thus taunted with imbecility.

Georgia and the Sherman Bill—lmmigration
—The True Policy oj the South.
New York, April 17.
Editor Daii.t Press:—Dear Sir—
The appeal ol Georgia to the Supreme
Court is regarded by a great many of
Southern sympathizers here, ns a great
blunder. For myself, I thought it the
true interest of the Southern people,
with whom I hare been long identified,
to reorganize under the Sherman bill,
as soon as possible. It you could see
the temper of the people here—l mean
the masses —you would at once con
clude that the only safe course for tbe
South is to accept the best terms she
can get, in the shortest possible time.
Delay but adds to the stern resolve of
the dominant party to organize the
South in Iheir \cuy, and nothing short
of some supernatural agency can pre-
vent it.
You are right in your earnest efforts
to awaken interest in immigration, but
you do not attach sufficient importance
to the labor of Southern Europe. The
Sooth is a good field for the Germans
and the Irish, but it is also still better
for tbe vine growers of France and Ita
ly, and the cultivators of tropical fruits
and the silk worm. There are thousands
in France, Italy, and Southern Germa
ny, who would fiud the South far more
congenial than the West.
The idea of importing single men as
laborers by the month, should not lie
entertained. The true policy is to bring
families, who shall be allowed to lease
or purchase small farms, and at onco
become identified with the country. In
this way the value of lands will be en
hanced, and all the advantages which
flow from a thrifty and industrious pop
ulation will follow.
lt would be an excellent plan—as
suggested by you—for the 'Southern
States to charter vessels and send them
direct to European ports, with offers to
transport actual settlers free of cost, or
for a nominal tare. It an emigrant has
only a few hundred dollars, he will avail
himself of an offer to go South free
instead of paying all his money for the
passage of his family to the west. The
successful location of one or two car
goes of industrious emigrants, would
open the way for thousands, and your
lands wonld soon become more valu
able than ever before. The attempts of
one or two immigration companies in
the South to import laborers was not
successful, because in the first place,
they picked up the poorest class of
adventurers in New York; and second,
they sought to work them by the month,
and fed them pretty much as they had
fed their slaves, and will not
submit to such a system.
The Southern people must also allow
the emigrants to enjoy their national
pastimes, and extend them such evi
dences of welcome, as to make them
feel that they are not intruders, but are
regarded as valuable acquisitions to the
country. The inducements held out by
the West are very strong: cheap lands,
on long credits, and large settlements
from the same region, affording social
ties which are always strong, especially
among those which are away from their
native soil. These can only be offered
at the South by organized effort! among
rich planters, who shall each set apart
a portion of their lands at a low rate,
and induce colonies to settle in the
same county.
There is no offensive clannishness in
this desire to be among one’s country
men. It is most natural, and almost
essential to the contentment of those
who at first speak a strange language.
They very aoou assimilate to those
around' them, and as in Pennsylvania
or the West, become in the truest sense
Americanized,
I am very anxious to see Georgia
lead off in the great movement, bbe
needs at least a million more people to
develop her splendid resources, and 1
shall lie very glad' to lend any influence
I may possess among my European
acquaintances, to turn the tide which
has so long set for the West. M.

Sir: I have the honor to transmit en
closed a eopy of wiy General Order as
suming command of this Military
District. Copies were sent to you at
the time, addressed to MilledgeviUe.
Paragraph HI, of that order, reads as
fellows, via.:
“111. It is to be dearly understood,
however, that the civil officers thus re
tained in offioe shall confine themselves
strictly to the performance of their offi
cial duties, and whilst holding tbclr
offices they shall not use any influence
whatever to deter or dissuade the people
from taking an active part in recon
structing their State Government, under
the net of Congress to provide for the
more efficient government of tbe rebel
Sutes, and the act supplementary there
to.’
I have the honor to request that you
will inform me at as early a day as pos
Bible, whether, when you issued your
address to the people of Georgia, dated
Washington, D. C., April 10, 1867, you
had seen or bad knowledge of tbe en
closed order.
I am, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

Provisional Governor Charles J. Jeu
kins, Milledgeville, Georgia.
National Hotel, )
Atlanta, Ga., April 20, 1867. J
Brerel Maj. Gen. John Pope, Command
ing, etc.
Sir— On yesterday evening a copv of
a communication from you addressed to
me at Milledgeville, on the 17lh inst.,
was handed to uie in this hotel. With
that communication was transmitted a
copy of yonr General Order No. 1,
issued from Montgomery, Ala., and my
attention being called to paragraph 111
of that order. You inquire whether,
when I issued my address to the People
of Georgia, dated Washington, D. C.,
April 10th, 1867, 1 had seen or had
knowledge of your order above men
tioned 7 I answer that at that time I
had neither seen nor had knowledge
of it.
I supposed I was exercising such
freedom in the public expression of
opinion, relative to public matters, as
seems still to be accorded to the citizens
of this Republic, not imagining that it
was abridged by the accident of tbe
speaker or writer holding office.
So much for the past. General, and I
will only add, that in the tulure I shall
do and say what I may believe is re
quired of me by tberduiy to which my
oath of office binds me, and this I trust
will not involve either conflict or contro
versy betweeu us in the execution of our
respective trusts, as I think it need not;
everything of this character I certainly
desire to avoid,
1 am, sir, very respectfully,
•Your obedient servant,
[Signed] Chas. J. Jenkins,
Governor of Georgia.
Head'qrs Third Military Dist.,l
(Georgia, Alabama and Florida.) V
Atlanta. Ga., April 22, 1867.)
Governor — I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the 20th inst., in answer of mine of
the 17th. •
It gives me pleasure to say that your
explanation is satisfactory, so far as
the past is concerned, and I cordially
concur with you in the hope that our
relations in the future may be harmo
nious and agreeable.
I wouid content myself with this an
swer to yonr letter but for the following
remark which it contains. You say,
“ 1 supposed I was using such freedom
in the public expression of opinion
relative to the public matters as seems
Still to be accorded to the citizens of
this Republic, not imagining that it was
abridged by the accident of the speaker
or writer holding office.”
This expression seems to indicate
that you think that in some manner,
either personally or officially, you have
been wronged by that paragraph of iny
Order which has occasioned this cor
respondence, and that I am seeking to
abridge the liberty of speech, in llii*
State, in an unnecessary and oppressive
manner.
I trust that I may be able to dist
base your mind of this idea. It is
scarcely necessary to tell you that the
la'eActs of Congress, which I am sent
here to execute, recognize the existing
State Government of Georgia as merely
Provisional, and that the object of re
ognizing it at all was only that the 01 di
nary course of business in the civil
tribunals, and the administration of the
laws of the State by the customary
agencies, might not be interrupted
further than was necessary for the strict
execution of the laws of the United
States. It is not doubted that Congress
might have legislated the present State
Government of Georgia out of existence
as easily as they have recognized it as
Provisional, and it is a little to be
doubled that Congress would have done
so, could it have been foreseen that the
entire machinery of the Provisional
Slate Government would be used to
defeat the execution of the very law by
whose sufferance alone it has any exist
ence at all. It is very clear that Con
gress did not intend to recognize or
permit to exist, by these Reconstruction
Acts, a powerful organization to be used
against their execution, nor can such
use be made of the State Government
of Georgia without greatly obstructing
it not, indeed, entirely frustrating the
performance of the duty required of me
by these acts.
Tlie existing State Government was
permitted to stand for the convenience
of the people of Georgia in iiie ordinary
administration of the local civil laws,
amt to that end it should be carefully
confined.
It was in this view that paragraph 111
of iny Order assuming command wus
considered, and it is not easy to see Low
it can be regarded as oppressive or
unjust.
Holding your office by permission of
the United states Government, you are
debarred, as I am, trom expressing
opinions, or using influences to defeat
the execution of the laws of the United
States, or to excite ill feeling and op
position to the General Government
wliieh is executing these Acts of Con
gress.
With your personal opinions, or those
of any citizen of Georgia, or their ex
pression within the limits of the law, I
have nothing to do; but the distinction
between personal opinion openly ex
pressed in an official capacity, and
official opinion, is too nice lor the com
mon understanding.
The influence ol your opinions,openly
avowed, mast of necessity be very great
with the civil officers of the State iu all
ill departments, when the tenure of
office is largely dependent upon your
pleasure. Your opinions as a private
citizen, without official station, and tbe
tame opinions whilst Governor of Geor
gia, have a very different significance,
and produce a very d.fferent effect.
I only require that the civil machinery
of the State of Georgia be not perverted
so as to trust r.tte the execution of the
lavs ol the Untied States, and for that
reason. I exact from the clvlt officers
that whilst they retain tbeir offices they
confine themselves Strictly to the per
formance ot their official duties, and do
not use their influence to prevent the
people of the State from submitting to
and carrying out the laws of the United
States.
In your address to the people of
Georgia, which occasioned this corres
pondence, you denounce the acts of
Congress which I am sent here to exe
cute, as palpably unconstitutional”
and “ grievously oppressive,'’ and ad
vise the people, whatever may be the
decision of tbe Supreme Court of the
United States, to take no action under
those laws. Whilst you counsel them
not to resist by violence, you at the
same time, by open official denuncia
tion of the law, iuvite the very action
which you seem to deprecate.
It is manifestly impossible for me to
perform the duties required of me by
the Acts of Congress, while the Pro
visional Governor of the State
is openly denouncing them and giving
advice to the public in his official capa
city, tbe result of which will be to
excite discontent and to array the whole
army of office holders in the State in
oppostion to their execution, nnless,
indeed the whole Civil Government of
the State is overthrown, and the Mili
tary substituted. I think such a change
would be as distasteful to tbe people of
Georgia as it would be to me; and yet
if the civil officers of the Slate follow
the example which your Excellency has
set them, there will be no escape from
such a result.
The third paragraph of my order im
poses no restrictions on you to which I
am not myself subject ; you hold yonr
office by permission of the United States
Government; I hoid mine, as do thous
ands ol others, both civil and military,
by substantially the same tenure. Cus
tom old enough to be law itself, restricts
us in conversation and action, precisely
as paragraph three of my order restricts
you.
There is a very simple mode of freeing
ourselves from such restrictions when
they become more oppressive,
In couclusion, Governor, if seems
necessary for me to say in general re
ply to the latter portion ot your letter,
that the paragraph of my letter to which
you object was very carefully considered
—that it means precisely what it says,
and that to the full extent of my power,
it will be strictly enlorced.
My great respect for your persona
character has made it painful to me to
write you this letter, but as a (air and
full understanding between us is abso
lutely essential to anything like harmo
nious relations, I have thought it neces
sary, even at the risk ot giving offense,
to acquaint you fully with nty under
standing of my duty, and of the status
of the civil officers of the Provisional
State Governments under the late Acts
of Congress.
I again assnre you that it shall be my
study as it will be my pleasure, to pre
serve, unimpaired, friendly and harmo
nious relations with you, and I trust
that our views on the subject of this cor
respondence tnay be made to harmonize
sufficiently to secure this rescflt.
I am, very respect tally,
Your obedient servant,
