iLje Dailji yrrss. City Printer—Official Paper URGKST CITY CIRCIL.ITION AUUUSI'A, UA. TCKBDAT MORNING... Jn»* 4, IM7 Conservative Union Party. We observe*! a call in the Atlanta papoTS, sifmii h? I*r. Jam-* P. Ham— bleton, R. E. Cowart, Hayne Elli*. 11. Muhlfcabrink, Dr. Westmoreland, A. R Watson, and «!*>n» fitly Athert, meeting to organise a “Conservative Union Party.” opposed to the adoption br the Slate, o! the Sherman Military I ill, and to urge the people to register and unite, for the purpose of maintain ing the Union as restored by the recog nized policy of ihs Exccileucy, the President of the United States. This movement has nothing but its name to recommend it. The President atid his policy have been repudiated by Congress, and much as we may appre ciate some of his official acts, he is ut terly incapable of rendering us a particle of practical aid. He has promised to execute the Military liill, and it is simply absurd to get up a party to stand by him as against Congress, which has a clear majority sufficient for two years, to overrule his policy. When we get the questions which grew out of the war adjusted, and reach a position of settled and substantial peace, we shall hail a Union party as a place were the true patriots of all sec tions may form a congenial alliance, but not on the President's policy, or the policy of Congress—but on the issues that may, and indeed must arise, in the perpetuation of the Union we are seek ing to restore. Railroad Convention- We learn from the Chattanooga Union of the 31st of May, that the Convention of Railroad Presidents and Superintendents, representing all the ltoads forming the line between Wash ington City and New Orleans, met in Chattanooga on the 29th, and adopted a schedule between New York and New Orleans of 48 hours, and 92 hours from New Orleans to New York being the quickest time on record. The Convention agreed to limit the liability of the line for baggage, unless specially insured, to §3OO and 100 pounds in weight, fora check. Excess of baggage over 100 pounds will be charged 15 per cent, of first class pas senger's fare, per 100 pounds, and this limitation is to be embodied in the form of an agreement, upon the coupon tickets and upon the checks. This is substantially the same rule adopted by tbr- National Convention. The following compliment to the Pullum, Kimball & Ramsey sleeping cars was unanimously adopted : That the sleeping cars used by the Pullman, Kimball & Ramsay Sleeping Car Company are the finest, most con venient, and luxurious we haye ever had the pleasure of seeiog, either North or South, and the courtesy and mana gers of the above company are worthy of our most hearty commendations, .and vi,- hope their enterprise may increase in magnitude and prosperity until they have cars on every railroad South of the Ohio river. We are also gratified to learn tha 1, the energetic and enterprising Super iotemlent of the Savannah, Albany and Onlf Railroad, Mr. H. 8. llains, has recently made arrangements for placing these superior ears on the line between Savannah and Jacksonville, Florida. This being accomplished business peo ple will have little use for steamboats bet ween the two cities. Gentlemen of the Georgia Central, when shall we have the same facilities for comfort betweeu this City and Savannah ? A Strong Ally. The Atlanta Intelligencer , in a Ion? article, in-its issue of the 2d, defines its position on the Military bill. In deference to the action of Gov. Jenkins that paper withheld any expression of opinion while the injunction bill was pending, hoping that the Court would come to our relief. That hope having failed, the Editor announces himself in favor of accepting the Bill, for the purpose, if possible, of keeping the Btate in the hands of its own true sons, and prevent ing it from being sacrificed to any party interest. We have more than once prptested against being complicated with national parties, be they Republican or Demo* cratic, until we are recognized as a part of the Union. While we did not think it best to appeal for aid to the Supreme Court, or have any confidence in its purpose or power to relieve us from the opperations of the Military bill, we have resisted, and shall continue to resist the mis hievous folly of making it a party question, or a pretext for party alliances. We therefore cordially hail the Atlanta Intelligencer as an able and valuable ally in the first great imperative work of itKOOKsraucTios : The reconstruction measures of Con gress, while they enfranchise the colored m.m, require— i't'v/, Os all the white citizens who are not disfranchised, thst they regiele.i-, else they will be debarred the privilege of Hufifrijge. &'econu, After registration, it is re quired that they shall vote for “Conven tion, ’ or “No Convention,” at the same time voting for delegates to the “Con vention,’’ in the event the “Convention” vote shall be in the majority. TMmI. The Convulsion having as scmflPo, it is required that it shall Irainu a Constitution, republican in its form, embracing the “ Constitutional amend ment,” so-called, and certain provisions of the congressional reconstruction en actments, which Constitution, when mad •, shall be submitted to the people for “ ratification '’ or “uo ratification.” i The first duty then of every white citizen in the State, who te not disfran chised, it to register. We urge ibis upon him as a most important and sacred duty. The active efforts of the Radicals at the North, and the Radicals at the South, to control the vat* of the freed men in all coming elections will iuaure their registration to a man.'•Whether this will be oUtiuleu by an entire control of that vote to further the designs of fft- Uadit al partv. remains to be seen. We doubt it very much. Among the fVpod men of Georgia, there are very many who do oct, usd who will not go with the Radicals. Nevertheless it is proper ami tmnortnnt tor every citizen, not disfranchised, to be prepared to jssint the Radical influence at the polls, and by their votes to check and defeat it. Rcgistrbtiou con-otn am tel, what next? The voter is required to place upon his ticket •‘Convention,” or “No Convention.” Here we apprehend will come division. This we shall very much regret. We would prefer ‘‘to pretermit” the question if we could, but it is one that forces itseit upon us and we must lie candid. Were then? any hope—the least that we could cling to — that any better terms than those em braced in the reconstruction measures wilt ever he offered the South, we should advise ‘‘Xu Convention but satisfied that this will never be; that in the rejection of those now tendered, terms more proscriptive, more degrading, will be absolutely forced upon us, we are tor ‘‘Convention” with true men as delegates to represent the Several coun ties of the State in it. Lamb like, we shall not, as it were, “lick the hand just raised to shed our blood”—we shall have no affiliation with the National, or “Republican Party” in Georgia. We submit to what we cannot avert. We submit to the infliction upon our State and people of the reconstruction measures of Congress, impressed that worse will follow if they be rejected. In doing so, however, we shall exercise whatever influence we can to keep the State in the hai*ls of its natural custodians ; of her own true native and adopted sons, and resist every effort made to place it in the custody Os cither Southern or Northern Republicans, radicals or con‘ servatives, call themselves or their party whatever they may. That the “Convention” will be called we have not the shadow of a doubt rest ing upon our mind. That it will frame a Constitution embracing what is re quired by Congress, we have no doubt. That it may not go further in the exer cise of its power to the injury of the State, and the proscription, or further disfranchisement of our people—so as to place it and them in the deplorable con dition of Tennessee—we must elect good men, men of sterling integrity and worth upon whom we can depend, to save the State and protect the rights of the peo ple. If any other than such a Consti tution shall he framed by the Convention, we reserve the right, when it is submit ted, as it must be, to the people for “ ra tification,” or “ no ratification.” to cast all the influence of this journal against its ratification, and submit to the conse quences, whatever those consequences may be. Such, then, is the position of the In telligencer. It may not be in consonance with that of some of its readers, or with that of some of its most esteemed co temporaries in the Stale. It is a posi tion, however, which it assumes, and which it will maintain, simply because it is convinced, under all the circumstan ces by which the Southern States are surrounded, it is the best and wisest lor them and the suffering people. . The Brakes. Jvxs Ist, 1867- Mr. Editor: An “ Old Fireman,” keeping “ burning ” within him a sincere love for the “ Department ” to which be is bound by “Hooks” (if not of steel) of affection, desires, to congratulate his “ worthy Chie£” that he (the aforesaid Cheif) has been made the recipient of so beautiful and appropriate a testimonial from the “Vigilant” brethren of the new squirt. An honor thus conferred upon the honored head of the Department, is not only an honorable appreciation of an bonett officer, but tends to eradicate ill feelings and render them “ non esi.” But alas 1 while the heart of an “ Old Fireman ” is rendered joyous with con gratulatory emotions, a shade of sorrow and of shame pervades his breast. Have the Vigilants been unusually active? Have they kept a vigilant eye upon our “ honored head ?” And as they have seen that head scratched (as we though’ with perplexity)at (he “Council Board” have they discovered a hidden reason? Else why, oh ! Jacob, this addition to thy hat ? The hat is white and contains one hundred and twenty-eight combs. (Vide Chronicle, Ist) ‘‘One hundred and twenty-eight combs I Ye Gods!! Ah ! Jacob, Jacob, Jacob, would not less suffice thee? Cast off the “ creeping, crawling ” insinua tion—assure the world that the “ bead ” of our Department needs not go many “ drags,” but take thy “ buckler ” and thy “ shield," and battle against the de vouring element with an energy and de termination, that will show them to be of a clear head and a veritable “I. B.” Great is the “ Hat” and “ Grata Cap,” the maker Ma-comb-eb. GEORGIA ITEMS. An interesting revival is in progress at Bain bridge.
