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.
