Tito question has been raised lu re, as
elsewhere, whether n person who is em
braced in the $20,000 exception clause
of the President’s proclamation is enti
tled to vAtc in the election for delegate;*
to the Convention. We understand that
Gov. Johnson, when last in this city, re-
1 marked that he had telegraphed to
I Washington for information on this point.

This, tlie Sun now say.*, was ils idea ex

ground for controversy with it' Well,
it ought rather to thank u* for giving it
the opportunity to set itself right before
u community that did not Know what it

that u'f are in favor of negro suffrage !
Tho Sun thinks it altogether unneces-
Wiry that the Convention should declare

oi that Gen. Lee surrendered to Gen.

He restored to her rights in the Union.
Tho Convent ions of Mississippi and
Alabama have thought it incumbent on
them to make that declaration, and we
are willing to hot our pile of old ex
changes (would stake more if we wore
able) that the Georgia Convention wilf
make the sains decimation.
We do not know that it will further
enlighten anybody for ns to discuss xvith
the Sun, at greater lc»e th, the difference
between tho words / and Irtednunx,
If the lexicographer* are at fault in
making a distinction, it i* too late for
cither of us to set the in right.
A* to the Sun's Correspondent, having
already copied hi* luminous ‘ explana

Hot feel that xve eould po**ildy have done
him any injustice, especially us xve did
not make any remuiU whatever upon the

thought proper t » explain hy a subse

ours could have made that cxplanotio
necessary, for it appeared simultnm
outly„ with our article. Neither do xv
take issue on his proposition as explain

to the Legislature is just what we have
nil the time contended for. The Sun's
•‘good authority” t * hack the proposi

Tlm Enquirer says: "All that tho (Vi- hav«
vention is called upon to do in regard to
the negro is, /o ilre/urr bint /rrr, and to Allodia;;
make it obligatory upon tlm Legislature
to protect him in tlm enjoyment of tliut
freedom.” Tho negro xv as declared free
by tho United Hinton Government. It
«iily remains for Georgia, if she desire?
representation in that Govornmonl, to so
amend ho** Constitution as that it will not
come in conflict xvith the amend* d Con
stitution of tlm United States. This i* tlu*
work before tlm Convention. For that
('onvon/ion to declare simply that the
negro is free, would bn idle und super
fluous. It might, with ar much propri
ety, declare tlmt tlm huii shines, or tlmt
Gun. Leo surrendered lo Gen. Grant, in
April, 1805.
That it n» tho duty of tho Convention "to
make it obligatory upon tbe Legislature
to protect" tlie negro in tho enjoyment of
bis freedom, is acknowledged by all right
thinking men. That was tbe
forth in tho article under review. What I
issue, then, does tho Enqui rrr seek to I
make with us on this point? Whilst xve
hoiiovo tlm question of sutfiago should be
loft entirely with tho Legislature of the
State, we have good authority lor stating
tii at, should the Convention attempt to
forestall Legislation upon this subject by
tlm inrcrlion oi a clause in the amended
Constitution denying tlm Legislature the
power to regulate suffrage a* respects
negroe*. it will be rejected as anti-repub
lican, and tho State will continue to be
held under military rule.
The Enquirer confounds the term "free
man" with “citizen.” bought to know
that whilst a citizen is nocossurily a free
man, a freeman is not necessarily a citi
zen. The lowest German emigrant is a
freeman the moment ho sets foot on
American soil; hut he cannot he a citizen
until alt ci bo has resided here a DUnibor

The tiioory of tho Pod oral Government, I

ns unconsiilutional, and therefore all law-

one must be doclutod, by competent au
thority, null and void nb initio , other
wise there may arise question* touching
tbe validity of cortnin acts performed un-

tho Convention enumerate ami repeal,
separately and by name, oach and every

sion ? "Tho Constitution of Georgia
would be a voluminous insiruim-nt’indccd,
if it were oxlonded to such dimensions ns
lo embrace" tlio enumeration and repeal
of evory statute made and provided since

Another Route for an Atlantic
Cable.—The New York Times says :
The strangci thing is that uo enterprising
company think* of a lino from Capo Race,
by way of tho Azores, to Capo St. Yin-
con*, in Portugal. From Capo Race to
tho Island of Flores the distance is K84
geographical miles; from Flores to tho
Island of Fayal is less than 100 miles;
from Faynl to St. Miguel about 110 mile?;
and from St. Miguel to tho Portuguese
coast about 800 mile*. Tho comparative
ly short submarine stretches by thin line
are not its only advantage?. It would
form a line, subject to treaty arrange*
merits, between several governments, in
stead of being under tho oxclusivo control
of one leading poxvor.
Southern Atlantic Telegraph,—
Late news from Pari? announces that a
Frenchman, xvith an Italian named Al
berto Bilostrini, propose* to lay, at his
own risk, an Atlantic Telegraph, which
will liravo tho continent at Cape St. Vin
cent, und pass by way of the Canary
Islands and Cape Verde to Capo St.
Roque, Brazil, the Antilles, and Now
Orleans. This is quite a novel route, and
include? a distance by land and sea of
ten thousand miles ; and if carried out
xvill cor.no* t Paris with New York across
territory belonging to} France, Portugal,
Great Britain, Spain, Brazil and the Uni
ted States.
Tiif. Three Cent Pieces.—During
tbe months of May, June, July and Au
gust, live million livn hundred thousand
three cent nieces wore coined at the Uni
ted States Mint in Philadelphia. Whore
are they ? if they are retained in tho
Mint, perhaps tho Superintendent can tell
us why. Tlm people nro anxious for gold
and silver ; but if the precious metals can
not bo brought into ctrcrtfattot, they are
willing tlmt nickel and copper should be
substituted.—N. llcratd.

Endurance ok Different Types of
Men am Soldikkm.—An nrmy correspon
dent writes: “In tho army and among re*
turned soldiers, 1 have noted one fact,
particular, somewhut at variance with the
usual theories. It is that light-haired men,
of the nervous sanguine tyjx> »4««nd cam
paigning hotter than the dark-haired men
of bilious temperament. Look through a
raw regiment on its way to tho field, and
you will find fully one’half its members
to t*o of the black*haired, dark-skinned,
large boned biliou? type. Sec that same
regiment on its return for muster-otit, and
you will find Ihnt the black-haired ele
ment has melted away, leaving at len«t
txvo«thirds, perhaps throe-fourths, of tho
regiment to be represented by rod. brown
and flaxen hair. It is also noted that m m
from tho cities, slighter in phytdquo and
apparently at tho outset unable to endure
fatigue and piivnlion, stand a severe
paign much better than men from tlie ag
