vi Iji ydill 41 rcss. g'u—: ■■ ~ r : City Printer—Official Paper 14RGR8T CITY CIRCULATION AUUOTTA. »A. SATURDAY MORNING-.... May 14.18#T Letter* of Hon. B. F Perry Th* fearlewne** *nd penistence with which thi* eminent Carolinian ruahes into print afford ample evidence of hi* moral coarag*, tho**h we ere not con vinccd that they ere Adding a jot to the popular estimate of his wisdom. It is Amusing to see how popular he ha* ell at once l*corae with that ciass of incor rigible joanialiit* who persist in sUuding on their dignity. They, in whose nostrils a Union man was a stench—a loathsome worm—a mean and contemptuous wretch, only capable of exciting a seuse of scorn and disgust, hud in Ex Gov. Perry a marvellously proper man—a noble patriot—and various other emi nent characteristics. We have not published any of the let ters of this gentleman, but we trust we shall be pardoned for noticing briefly a few of the points embraced in the third, and *0 tar a* we are yet advised, the last of the series. After declaring a sense of the disgrace involved in submitting to the terms ex acted by the peace making power of the government, he savs: “ It is a great mistake to suppose that by all this homilist.on and degradation we shall get back into the Union, or be relieved of military government. Con gress has given no such guarantee, and leading Radicals assert the contrary.” With the utmost deference for Gov ernor Perry, we assert that Congress has pledged itself, in terms that admit of no misconstruction, to admit the Southern States to repreaentafion in Congress if they comply with the requisition* ot the Military Bill. The assertion of Governor Perry to the contrary is based alone upon the decla ration of a few nialcoutents at the North, while the utterances of nearly all the influential speakers and journals indicate an unmistakable sense of obligation to admit the South when the terms ot the bill are complied with. Governor Perry advises the people to bear their wrongs like Christians and patriots, “and deliverance will come but be fails to tell us where it is to come from. We have relied before on re-aetions at the North, and parties at the North, to save us from our difficul ties, and it is pretty evident now that we have got no safety save within our own acceptance of the terms offered, which are certainly less severe than the terms usually exacted by the trium phant party. The Governor embraces the current delnsion that if wre can succeed in de feating the call of a Convention at pres ent, that the matter will end there, and that the States, by that means, will save their honor, and that we shall in that way, escape the “humiliation” and “degradation” of being ruled by our former slaves- Has it never occurred to him that the Radicals and negroes can reconstruct us without the aid or consent of the white population ? And just as sure as we follow Perry's advice, so sure will this be the result. And for this reason we hold Governor Perry, and those who act with him, as the party who are working—not designedly, hut effectively—on a line that, if their policy succeeds in defeating a Conven tion, will evidently end in Radicalizing the States. Is it not an almost certain sequence to the defeat of a Convention, which is the plan marked out by Con gress, for reconstruction, that the privi lege of suffrage will be so restricted, by the first session of Congress, thereafter, as to secure a Convention with the vote of the negroes an! loyalists? Where is your relief from degradation and dis honor then ? To Gov. Perry’s argument against -- ‘-fj •- That is a Jungune conclusion—Con gress, which made the negro free, in corporated in the Constitution, which the Southern States have ratified, a clause giving Congress the right to pass all laws necessary to secure the negro in the rights of a freeman. Congress holds that suffrage is uecessary to secure those rights; and has passed an act making him a voter, and all the protests and Perrys in the universe cannot prevent it. However unjust and dangerous the experiment may be, it hus to be tried and it is useless to argue about its justice or propriety now. Hi* Dnsider up. Ibe Atlanta Era lias been calling Macon a ‘•secluded village,” “our little , pug nose sister by tiie side of a muddy creek,” etc., whereat die TeUijrapk “goes lor" the Gate City, as follows : We can show blocks of buildings that cost more than any three in At lanta. Private residences onapproached in their architecture by any in the State, and that cost more money than any six in Atlanta. Churches that can seat comfortably as many people as any two in Atlanta. Hotels that can accommodate as many guests, each, as all the hotel* ot Atlanta put together. Business houses that have sold more goods in the lust twelve months than any three in Atlanta. Warehouses that receive, sell, and ship more cotton in one year than all in Atlanta do in five- A newspaper that has as many sub scribers as all the daily papers of Atlanta put together. A majority of private residences more free lrotn mosquitoes than any in Atlanta, und annual bills of mortality that will compare favorably with those of that city. II we have not as many people a* our Bister city, those we have are of the right goit. So much for “little Pug Nose.” Registratioa to Jtegin. W# publish 10-4*7, Aoy» the Atlanta Eem Era, of the 24th, the very explicit and comprehensive orders of Gen. Pope in reference to registration. The de tails are given iu full, and tyith such minuteness that nothing seems to have been overlooked. AU the points are so guarded that the rights of all are se cured. The registrars have in part been appointed, and the entire list will soon be completed. It will not be long before registration will he fairly commenced. When it is to be hoped t>o one will neglect to regis ter, It is a duty all owe themselves, to their State, and above and beyond all, to their posterity. No mistaken pride or sullen obstinacy should keep any one back, but all without exqeption, should proceed at once to the discharge of this duty. The commanding General, with characteristic discrimination, has se lected euergetie and trustworthy thief* to supervise the registration, and will be careful to see to it that none entilfeA to it shall be denied the privilege or pre vented from exercising it. Registration Order. Heaihjlaktkrs, 3 and Military Dis’t,) (Georgia, Florida and Alabama.) I Atlanta, Ga., May 21, 1867-1 General Ordkrp, ) No. 20. j In accordance with an aot of Con gross, supplementary to an Act to pro vide a more efficient Government for the rebel States, Ac., dated March 2, 1867, the following arrangements are herein made for the registration of vo ters in the States of Georgia and Ala bama. I. The States of Georgia and Alaba ma, are divided into Registration Di stricts, numbered and bounded, as here inafter described. 11. A Board of Registration is herein appointed for each District, as above mentioned, to consist of two white Re gisters, and one colored Register. In the State of Georgia, where only the two white Registers are designated in this Order, it is directed that these white Registers in each District imme diately select, and cause to be duly qualified, a competent colored man to complete the Board of Registration, and report his name and I’ostoffiee address, without delay, to Col. C. C. Sibley, commanding District of Georgia, at Macon, Georgia. 111. Each Register will be required to take and subscribe to the oaih pre scribed by Congress, by au act dated July 2, 1862, oud an additional oath to discharge faithfully the duty ot Register under the late Acts of Congress. It is not believed that any of the appoint ees, heretofore designated, will be unable to take the test oath above mentioned. Blank forms of these oa-hs will be sent to the appointees at once, and on being executed and returned to the uperinlendents of State Registra tion, their Commissions as Registers will be issued, and forwarded to them immediately. IV. In order to secure a fall registra tion of voters, it is determined to fix the compensation of Registers according to the general rules adopted in taking the census. In the cities, the compensation is fixed at fifteen cents for each recorded voter; in the most sparsely settled comities and districts, at forty cents per voter. The compensation will be grad uated between these limits, according to the density of the population, and the facilities of the communication. Ten cents per mile will be allowed for trans portation ot Registers off the lines of railroads or steamboats, and five cents per mile, when travel is done on rail roads and steamboats. V. It is hereby trade the duty of all Registers, and they will be expected to perform it strictly, to explain to all persons, who have not heretofore enjoyed the right of suffrage, what are their political rights and privileges, and the necessity ot exercising them upon ail proper occasions. VI. The name of each voter shall appear in the list of voters, for the precinct or ward in which he resides; and in cases where voters have been unable to register, whilst the Boards of Registration were in the wards or ere cincts, where such voters jive, oppor tunity will be given to register at the county seats of their respective counties, at a specified time, of which due notice will be given; but the names of all voters, thus registered, will be placed on the lists of voters of their respective precincts. VII. The Boirdß of Registration will give due notice, so that it may reach all persons entitled to register, ot the date when they will be in each election pre cinct; the time they wiil spend in it; and tb;. p!„Ce where the regisiration will be made; and upon the completion of the regisiration for each county, the Board of Registration will give notice that they will be present, for three suc cessive days at the county seat of such county, to register such voters, as h’ave failed to register, or been prevented from registering in their respective precincts, and to hear evidence in the case of voters, rejected by the Registers in the several precincts, who may desire to present testimony in their own behalf. VIII. Unless otherwise instructed hereafter, Boards of Registration are directed, in determining whether appli cants to register are legally qualified, to hold that the terms “Executive and Judicial,” in the Acts of Congress of March*23, 1867, comprise all persons whomsoever, who have held office under the Executive, or Judicial Department of the Suite, or National Government — in other words, all officers not Legisla tive, which last are also excluded by the Act. Persons who apply to register, but who are considered disqualified by the Boaiyls, will be permitted to take the required oath, which, with the objections ot the Board, Will be held for adjudication hereafter. IX. The lists of registered voters, for each of the precincts, will be exposed in some public place iu that precinct, lor teii consecutive days, at some time sub sequent to the completion of the regi stration for each county, and before any election is held, in order that ali sup posed cases of fraudulent registration, may be thoroughly investigated. Due i,otice will be given and provision made for the time and place for examination aud settlement of such cases. X. Blank books of oaths, required to be taken by voters, ana blank registra tiou lists, a* “Iso s*ll a, 'd detailed in fractions for the performance of their duties, will be at once forwarded to the Boards of Registration, appointed in this Order; apd it is enjoined upon these Boards that they proceed to complete the registration with ull,energy and dis patch. XL The detailed instructions to Re gislers will designate the member of each Board who ahull he' its President. XII. Violence, or threats of violence, or any other oppressive means to pre vent uny person from registering his name, or exercising his polities! rights, as* positively prohibited; and It is distinctly announced that no contract or agreement with laborers, which deprives then of their wages for any longer time than that actually consumed in regfeter ing or voting, will be permitted to be enforced against ihsm in this District ; and this offense, or any previously mentioned in this paragraph, will cause the immediate arrest of the offender and his trial before a Military Commis sion. XIII. The exercise of the right of every duly authorized voter, ‘ander the late Acts of Congress, to register and vote, is guarantied by the Military Authorities of thi* District; and all persons whomsoever are warned ngainst sny attempt to interfere to prevent any man from exercising this right, under any pretext whatsoever, other than Objection by the usual legal mode. Xl\. In case of any disturbance, or violence at the places of registration, or sny molestation of Registers or of app’i cants to register, the Boards of Regis tration will call upon the local civil authorities for a police force, or a posse to arrest the offenders and preserve quiet, or, if necessary, upon the wen rest military authorities, who are hereby instructed to furnish the necessary aid. Any civil officials who refuse, or who fail to protect Registers, or applicants to register, will be reported to the head quarters of the Officer Commanding in the State, who will arrest such dtlin quents, and send charges against them to these headquarters, that they may be brought before a Military Commission. * * * * * * By com maud of Brevet Major Gen.
