ETHEL BARKSDALE, It is of men like these that the Con- stitulionalist says: “ Their genius for solving vexed ques Hons of Stale 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 epos the basis or the laws or coxgrsss, they are thus taunted with imbecility. THE DAILY PRESS. We publish elsewhere in our columns this mftrning a communication from the em ployees of this office in relation to a state ment made by the Dailt Press in its issne of the Ist inst. It will be seen, by reference to the communication, which is signed by all our employee*, that they provo the state ment in the Press to be unfounded and false. When we read the statement in tho Press we sent a note to E. H. Pnghe, the publisher of that sheet, asking for the name of his informant. We thought it was due to our employees that this demand should tie made, and that the author of tbe statement should bo exposed. The Publisher of tho Press declined to furnish the name of his pretended inform ant, thereby assuming tho responsibility of the charge which had boon made through his columns. E. U. Pugbe. therefore, stands convicted, by the evidence of all our employees, of deliberate falsehood.— Chronicle and Senti nel, 3 and J lay. The following is the card above re ferred to : Chronicle asp Sentinel Office, 1 Augusta, Ga., May Ist, 1867. j Having seen a statement in the Dailt Press of this date, that an employee of this office had communicated to some one con nected with tho Press, a statement as to the number of the daily issue of this paper distributed by tbo carriers, we take occasion to say that so far as the undersigned are implicated, the statement is without foun dation, and false. L. P. Ashby, E. C. McCarty, T. J. Averell, J. McCarty, J. V. Johnston, A. M. Averell, J. Anderson, J. V. Kennickell, 11. Bawls, M. W. Antony. It. A. Caldcleugh, It. A. B. McKiniie, G. B. Coffin, Edw. Hett, F. P. Gentry, Pat. Walsh. I certify that the above list contains the names of all the employees (white) connect <1 with this office. E. C. McCarty, Bookkeeper Citron tele etml Sentinel. Vie ask the indulgence of our readers while we proceed, as briefly as possible* to show that the Editor convicts himself of falsehood, and to establish our decla ration that the information was volun tarily given by an employee of that concern, whose name appears in the above, list. We mav premise by “aying that the issue of veracity grew out of the per sistent attempt of the Proprietors of the Chrotticle ard Sentinel to convince the Postoffiee Department and the public that they were entitled to the letter list, which wns awarded to us: and that their circulation was to subscribers, while ours was gratuitous. They further sought, through a correspondent, to show that we distributed our paoer gratuitously until we got tbe letter list, and then discontinued doing so. Hap pening to have a statement in our possession, voluntarily given by one of their ‘’while” employees, of their circu lation by the city carriers, which did not reach half the city circulation claimed, we felt justified in giving it to the public, to show that they had prac ticed the very device charged upon us to secure the Postoffice printing. Wej therefore, stated on the Ist instant, on the authority of an employee of the Chronicle office, still in their employ— and we now add, a “white” employee— that at the time they swore to a circu lation of 999 copies, their carriers de livered 440. (It should have been 442.) That statement elicited the following correspondence: Chromci.b and Sestinei, Office, ) Acousta, Ga., M», Ist, 1867. j JE. 11. Puglte, Augiota , (In. — Sir: iu tne issue of tbe Dailt Press of this date, under the heading, “ What has become of the Dailt Press ?” appoared the following paragraph: “ At the time the award was made, when tho Proprietors swore that the daily circu lation of tbe Chronicle and Sentinel was 9U9 copies, according to their books, within the range of the Augusta I’ostoffioo, the entire number delivered by the curriers of that office was 440 papers.” This statement is made, as alleged in the article roferred to, upon “information con veyed by an employee of tbe Chronicle office, at tbe time ihe award was made, and still in their employ .” I have to request that you furnish mo in writing the name of the employee iu the Chronicle office who gave the information in relation to the cir culation of the paper referred to above. Respectfully, A. R. Wriout. To the above we replied as follows: Daily Press Office, | Accusta, Ga., May 1, 1867. I A. R. Wright— Sir: Replying to yours of this date, would slate that the information was given voluntarily. As no contradiction of the statement, that appeared in the Daily PnF.ss of to day has been made, the under signed withholds the party’s name until soid denial bus been mode. You do not signify whether you request the information as Proprietor of the Chron icle, or for your own individual gratification, iu future, correspondence (if any) must be in the names of the Proprietors of that paper, e]se no notice wilt be lakon of it. Respectfully, E. 1L Pi;oue. From the above it will be aeen that we have not “ declined to furnish the name of his (our) pretended informant," bet simply withheld the party's name until the truth of the statement wns denied. Who is convicted of falsehood in this record ? Clearly not the pro prietor of the Daily Press. And the reader will take notice, in the editor's baste to charge us with falsehood, he has entirely forgotten to deny the truth of the declaration. Can he—dare be, deny it? Instead of denying it, he pa rades a enrd, purporting to hare been signed by all the “ white” employees of that establishment, denying that any of their number had given the information conveyed in the Daily Press. The statement is not sworn to, and we know not whether it was fully understood by all who signed it; but we are sorry to find the name of our informant among the number. The information was vol untarily given to Mr. 0. F. Gregory, Principal Book Keeper and Collector of the Daily Press, and we have his affi davit in our possession, ttken before I). L. Roath, Esq., stating the day, place, and by whom the information was giv en. His affidavit, we presume, no gen tleman in this community, where he is widely known, would presume to ques tion. We withhold the name of the party implicated, for the present, because he has not sworn to the statement, and a little reflection may refresh his memory. We do not wish to brand him prema' turely with intentional falsehood. He may have signed the card under a mis. prehension of its contents. We regret that the names of the other employees of that establishment, many of whom we know and esteem, have been dragged before the public, which might have been avoided, by the simple denial of the truth of the statement. In further evidence of the truth of our declaration, that our information came from an employee of that office, we present a copy of the Mail Report of the Mail Clerk of the Chrotticle and Sentinel office, which accompanied the information, and on which the number given to carriers, as well as total circu lation is recorded. We omit the latter, because it is foreign to the issue, and we have only given publicity to any portiou of it to defend ourself against the malicious and persistent attempts of the Proprietors of that paper to injure our business: MAIL CLERK'S DAILY REPORT. January, 1867. Received from Pressman copies. Good, Spoiled, Mailed, Given to Carriers: Will’s route, Tbeo’B route, Frank’s route, Stephen’s route, Dick’s route, In all, 442. Gratuitous: Quinn, So. Express, Office List, Office Hands, Postoffiee, Telegraph, Files, Richmond Factory, Sold, Total, Left over, Mail Clerk. It will be observed that among the points for gratuitous distribution is Richmond Factory—the very place where it was said the Daily Press was sent. With this statement we leave the valiant Editor to all the laurels he lias won in charging us with falsehood, con tent as we are to abide the judgment of all honorable readers. [Special Correspondence Daily Press] Notes of Travel. Chattanooga, May Ist. You will remember, my dear Press, that a blind preacher was in your office with me, the evening that t left Augusta. This gentleman travelled with me to Atlanta. He is on his way to Missouri, to solicit aid for the destitute of South Carolina. I have found him to be a very remarkable man. Born blind, and only about twenty five years of age, he is finely cultivated, stands very high as a preacher, and exerts a wide influ ence wherever he becomes known. He is eminently adapted to the work which he goes to perform. By the way, it should be mentioned to the credit of Mr. Cole, the generous Superintendent of the Georgia Roatl, that he presented this gentleman with a complimentary ticket. I have not passed over the route from Augusta to Chattanooga since the war. 1 must be pardoned, then, fer saying what everybody else almost has found out, that there is an evident and marked improvement in the manners of tbe Railroad men. Why, sir, they are so courteous, and even kind, that oue cau hardly believe that they are officials. I did not learn the name of tbe Ticket Agent at Augusta (for the Georgia ltoad), but, without doubt, he is a perfect gentleman, aud one trav elle, at least, will remember his attentions with pleasure—not pecu niary, but only gentlemanly attentions Aud then the conductors on the Geor. gia Road, and on the W. & A. Hoad, were us polite aud accommodating as if they had been office seekers, instead of office holders. We reached Atlanta in due time, but j although we stopped there nearly two hours, I had very little opportunity to see the city. It certainly bore very few traces of having lain in ashes two years ago. The pulse of business beats high there, higher than in any other city that I have visited in the South|since the war. The National Hotel is evidently the most popular house, and appears to be fully up with the times in the use of all the modern appliances of the most suc cessful hotel keeping. Hut oue objec tion I have to this, and to some other city hotels, in fact, nearly all of them ; their arrangements seem to proceed upon the supposition that nobody has any objection to bar rooms or billiard saloons. At the National Hotel, for instauce, there is a part of the establish ment essential to the comfort of every traveller, which cannot be reached with-' out passing through n large billiard saloon, with a bur attached. lam not going to discuss the use und abuses of such appendages to hotels; but Ido contend that the feelings of a large Hnd highly respectable «lass of travellers ought to be considered by proprietors of public houses, on assigning rvorns for such purposes alluded to. Many gen tlemen, you know, sir, do very much objoct to entering, even casually, a place where men drink and sport, and they should not be compelled to do so, or even to pass near enough to hear the proceedings of such places, in order to secure the necessary comforts of their hotel. We have had a fine day for travel to-day, and have passed through many beautiful and interesting sections of country. Resaca, Dalton, Chiokamuuga, names ever memorable, lie on this route. I have conversed with several farmers to-day, on the train, with refer ence to two points—the prospect for bread, and the political sentiments of the plain, working men of the country. The wheat crop is promising pretty fair. The fruit is almost an entire failure. Iu one section mining is receiving very great attention. I heard a gentleman speak’ of a mine opened the other day only to the depth of thirty feet, when gold was discovered so abundant that it could be seen from the surface of the earth, and my informant said he would be willing to give twenty thousand dol lars to be permitted to delve there twenty days with twenty hands. So far as I can learn, the farmers of this upper section are urgent for a Con vention and speedy restoration of the old order of things: they believe Gov. Brown is a good, honest man, and in the right. I talked with men promis cuously on the train, and every oue made the same representation of the feelings of the people on the absorbing question of the hour. We have just reached Chattanooga, and I have hurried into a hotel to drop you these few “ Notes of Travel.” More anon. C. A. J. Registering and Voting. The unanimous opinion now is that oar people should all register their names who can, and participate in the work of reconstruction to the full extent allowed by the law. Mr. Baldwin, of the Virginia House of Delegates, in his valedictory address on Monday, gave this good advice. He urged all who were entitled to register to do so, and to advise all others to follow their exam ple, so that they might be prepared at the proper time to participate in the manner that circumstances might sug gest. This is very well, and no man we have heard of Stops short of this. But we would go farther; and we regard it the duty of all to go farther. Voters should not only register, but they should vote for men who will go to the consti tutional convention pledged to frame a constitution precisely in conformity with the reconstruction acts of Congress. To all who will properly consider the cir cumstances in which we are placed, there is no prospect whatever of avoid ing the mode of restoring the State to the Union. If we may supposed possi ble, says the Richmond Dispatch, and most truly says, that Virginia can, with all the lights before her, refuse to so conform, why, who does not know that, Congress—which will keep a vigilant watch upon the South—will immediately authorize the “loyalists” to reconstruct the State and take her into the Union with the great body of the whites dis franchised ? So that by this course, so far from avoiding the Congressional plan, that would only be delayed, to be brought back upon us with increased severity and hardship. So that it is the duty of us all to move straight on in the line of recoil* struction marked out for ns. Let all remember that in the Union we must stay —that tho United States is our country —and that the more united, the more equal the States, the more har mony and security there is—the better for us all. Therefore every mm should give all the influence lie has, and all of his own exertion, to the work of recon struction upon the terms tendered, or rather exacted, in the speediest and most complete manner, whatever the sacrifice we have to make. After that, why the way is clear. Place the State in .the Union upon terms of equality with the Northern States, and there is the end of the revolution and the begin, ning of restoration—the restoration of prosperity, of productive labor in all its forms, of enterprise, of trade, and the successful pursuit of all the vocations of men. The land will soon smile with peace and plenty. With a duty so plain, under an irre sistible authority, the performance of which is to produce such results, we can not see how any man can hesitate to discharge it promptly and earnestly. Eleventh Hour Convert. Should the Supreme Court throw out the injuti ction asked by Georgia, of which we do not suppose there is any reasonable doubt, we expect to see a regular rush into the reconstruction movement already inaugurated. Hav ing exhausted all the means of opposi tion to the requirements of the bill, we shall find all these new converts zealous for its acceptance. Having found that the do-nothing, waiting policy will leave them out in the cold, they will seek to control a movement they were powerless to defeat. S. octal Notices.
