LARGEST CUT CIRCULATION
AUOTJBTA. OA.
THVRSDAT MORNING JaM J*. IMT
Immigration in Virginia.
The laaigtalioa Convention recently
ts«mbU at Alexandria, wok some
practical *tep*,for promoting the intro'
and action of farmer* from abroad. They
pasted reaolatiooa crying a poo the land
owuer* of Virginia the advantage to
themselves, and to the State, of sub
dividing their lands into tract* of such
aiae aa will meet the demand* of the
market, to gather information of the
location, soil, and character of the land*
no offered for ante, and the price* of the
•ame; and also to establish agencies in
the leading eitiee of the United States,
and in foreign coantries, where it may
be deemed necessary, folly believing that
if the proper information can thus be
spread before the people the natural
advantage* which Virginia offer* to
parties desiring to emigrate are such a*
of themselves will draw into that State
a voluntary emigration adequate to her
need.
They also took the preliminary steps
to form a land company, with authority
to secure subscriptions of land, at fairly
estimated values, to be held and disposed
of in the interest of the company.
Almost everywhere else in the Sonth,
save in Georgia, something is being
done to secure an increase of population
from abroad.
Female Suffrage.
We recently noticed the espousal of
the cause of female suffrage by the able
and erratic Senator Foote. The Mem
phis Bulletin, edited by Admiral
Se mmes, also declares in faror of the
same movement. We fail to understand
the reasons which lead to the evident
growing conviction in favor of the
enfranchisement of woman. It appears
to u* to be against reason, against
nature, and violative of all the dearest
interests of society. If the standard of
political capacity and purity be thereby
possibly elevated, the purity and
modesty of the sex would be lowered
iu a ten fold degree. Woman rules
amid the sacred altars of the fireside;
and when she mounts the hustings, or
elbows herself throogh the vulgar and
drunken crowds that throng election
precincts, she loses those retiring and
modest graces that constitute her highest
glory.
It may seem idle to write seriously,
in this latitude, of a question that has
been considered the favorite crotchet
only of a few visionary reformers; but
when we see the measure adopted, as it
has been in Kansas, by both branches
of the State Legislature, and submitted
to the |>cople for ratification ; and when
men of talent, like Admiral Semitic v.
es[>oiise it, the subject begins to U«i n
up into the substance of anew national
problem.
[cOHMBSUCATID.
The Belief Question.
Mr. Editor : The decision in the
case of Heard r*. The Mechanic's
Hank, if not reversed by the Supreme
Court, will create incalculable mischief
throughout the entire State, and if it
be true, as the Chronicle & Sentinel
remarks, that u there is not a single
surrender of a Bank Charter in the
State, and all the surrenders and sub
sequent assignments are illegal and
void,” then it is but justice to all bill
holders who are willing to settle with
the Bank that they should be paid
forthwith pro rata in such assets as our
Banks have at command, and let those
who prefer to sue take their chances
for what they may get out of the wreck.
Every intelligent man knows full well
that it was no fanlt on the part of the
directors that the Banks are unable to
redeem their circulation. The whole
'ircumstances are so well known that
( wholly unnecessary to discuss that
j t j The sacred honor of the proud
p 0 j nt _ q tate” of Georgia was pledged
-Empire. ’ treasury notes, which
to redeem he. our Banks - * nd haT *
were forced upon Her circulation, our
jng failed to redeem . a matter of
moneyed institutions, n ' a “ d while
course, became insolvent; '* lu f * he
our wise legislators are in n ' wnh
sole cause of this insolrency, they v
a larger portion of the community
would fain throw the whole responsi
bility on the directors; and although
thousands are clamorous to be relieved
from debts contracted before the war—
for bread, meat, and clothing—not a few
arc eager to saddle responsibilities on
innocent stockholders, whose stock has
been rendered worthless, at the instiga
tion ol men now holding bank bills at a
cost of five to ten cents on the dollar,
with a confident hope of further swin
dling the widow and the orphan out of
the last vestige of property they hold
on earth. And their nefarious schemes
will be carried out to the letter, if sus
tained by the Supreme Court; for other
stockholders more sagacious will not
sit down quietly with folded arms,
waiting for a pack of speculators
to obtain judgment and pounce upon
their property ; and the inevitable result
will be that every man who has any
thing at stake will remove it (with
biuiselt) to another country, where such
executions will be about as available
against him as Confederate bonds or
State Treasury notes.
The present condition of affairs in the
Southern States is not so very attractive
at to induce men to stand still and be
fleeced in any such unmitigated man
ner. We have enough in all conscience
to contend with, without stirring up
strife among ourselves, and whoever
buys up hank bills, buys them at his
'own risk, and should be compelled to
settle with honest bankrupt corporations
as with individual* ia like circum
stance*. Is there, therefore, no justice
in the land, to crush out impositions
that roast impoverish the country, by
driving off our best citiaens to a country
where they can feel secure, and bid
defiance to such verdicts as are likely
to be rendered against them. We make
great professions as to security of
property, in order to iedece capital to
come from abroad, while the keen
capitalist at a distance can readily
see that, in various ways, we are
moving heaven and earth to drive what
little fee have left away from him; and
oar own citisena, who would willingly
make advances to planters, are thwarted
in every possible way, so that they feel
they are doing a safer business ia letting
their money lie idle in the Bank of
England or elsewhere than accumula
ting interest on any securities that can
be offered in this country, when there is
such an antagonistic feeling existing
against moneyed institutions, or men
who have the means and disposition to
help his poorer neighbors.
A recent writer, “J. A. in the
Chronicle and Sentinel, boldly urges a
*• partial if not total repudiation of all
debts,” as the only remedy of “relief for
the dear people.” Now.that is decidedly
cool, and certainly very encouraging for
capitalists to step forward and lend a
helping hand to an industrious farmer,
who may in return brand him with tbe
epithet of “ Shylock,” and threaten
repudiation for payment.
This matter of “relief” has been
discussed long enough, and every man
who is insolvent can be relieved by
making a fair showing to bis creditors.
Not many months ago two of our mer
chants advertised to settle with their
debtors on snch terms as they might
feel able to propose, and if we mistake
not, few if any of their country custom
ers called in for a settlement. “ Get all
yon can, and keep all you get,” seems
to be the kind of relief many folks
crave. Augusts.

The “ Sherman Bill.”
Ms. Editor : As the “ Sherman Bill'’
ia the political topic of the day, and a
strict legal interpretation of its various
parts and meaning, together with the
manner, mode and authority by which
they are to be executed or enforced, are
engaging the great minds of our coun
try, permit an unpretending citizen
to lay before your readers the following
view from an impartial stand point, and
based upon the provisions of the Act
itself:
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted,
That until the people of said rebel
States shall be by law admitted to rep
resentation in the Congress of the
United States, any civil governments
which may exist therein shall be deemed
provisional only, and in all respects
subject to the paramount authority of
the United States at any time to abol
ish, modify, control, or snpercede the
-line; and in all elections to any office
under snch provisional governments, all
persons shall be entitled to vote, and
none •.thers.wbo are entitled to vote under
the provisions of the fifth section of this
iicl ; and no person shall be eligible to
any office under any snch provisional
governments who would be disqualified
from holding office under tbe provisions
of the third article of said constitutional
amendment.
From this (6th) section of the bill it
will be readily admitted that our civil
government in Georgia, as in the other
nine States, is provisional only, and in
all respects subject to the paramount
authority of the United States at any
time to abolish, modify, control, or
supercede the same.
The only remaining question is, ns
to the paramount authority of the
Uuited States. Who is that authority 7
Where does that power lie T It evidently
rests somewhere, and certainly not with
the President, for he was opposed to
the passage of the very Act now to be
enforced.
It must be conceded, therefore, that
(on this occasion at least) Congress is
the paramount authority of the United
States, and in the first section of the.
bill—which we give below—it delegates
that power to the military, as prescribed
by the second section :
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, That
said rebel States shall be divided into
military districts and made subject to
the military anlhority of the United
States, as hereinafter prescribed, and
for that purpose Virginia shall consti
tute the first district; North Carolina
and Sooth Carolina the second district;
Georgi i, Alabama, and Florida the
-hird district; Mississippi and Arkansas
' fourth district; and Louisiana and
,L v the fifth district.
Texa- ’• And be it further enacted,
ij*c . U be the duty of the Presi-
That it sha ' command of each
dent to assign « office . r lhe arm J
of said districts ot brigadier general,
not below the rank 'ent military force
and to detail a suftit perform his
to enable snch officer . Hority within
duties and euiorce his aui. <tned.
tbe district to which he is assi, power
It will be conceded that the _ 'ury
delegated by Congress to the miln
in the first section remained with the
military or war department, of the gov
ernment only, until the President ap
pointed and assigned to the command
of each of the districts an officer of the
army,under the provisions of the second
section. This being done, the President
bus performed the duty assigned him i
and the military or war department iu
duly, and as the President said in his
veto objections to the bill, “ the power
thus given to the commanding officer
over all the people of each district is
that of an absolute monarch,” and is,
as I have shown, the paramount author
ity of the government, to abolish,
modify, control, or supercede any
government that may exist in their
respective districts until the first section
of the bill is complied with- True, us
Attorney General Stanberry says, in
bis opinion, “With all its severity the
right of electing their own officer* is
still left with the people, and it must be
preserved.” But, suppose, as in the case
of the municipal authorities of Auguste,
the law granting these election* ia dis
regarded or not complied with, ia there
any provision* mada for officers of the
civil government—other than by election
provided for in the first section of the
Sherman Bill —to retain their offices
beyond the specified time for which
they were elected, except by the will
of the district commander? Civ is.
