€|t gails Ctlegra^g* L. CLAYLAND,] [J. B. DUMBLE, EDITORS jUH> PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 21, 11-65. Election Tipkets. We are prepared to fill orders for tickets, • fof- the ensuing election, at short notice. Re member the election will take place on the first Wednesday of October. To Ci|y Subscribers. Hereafter, the delivery of the Telegraph to subscribers in arrears, will be discon tinued. Those wishing the corttinuance of the paper, will do well to renew at once. TO THE PUBLIC. On and after Sunday, Sept. 10th, the price of the Daily Telegraph will be ten cents per single copy, purchased from newsboys or at the counter. The'proprietors of this journal regrtt the necessity which compels this raise." The tax upon publishers’ receipts is much heavier than that assessed, upon those of other avocations. The general income tax is required; a tax upon circulation, a spe cial tax upon advertisements, and an addi tional tax upon epch paper sold at thp gpunfor. The present prices wiil not pay for the cost Of the blank paper, not calculating composi- ficm-and general expenditures. This announcement is made after consulta tion with the sepior editor of our city cotem porary, Mr. Rose, and a siinilar announcement will be made on the part of that journal. * ptAfjf TAxft-ariEAsrkiai vfc be ADOPTED. If it is so plainly the interest aud the duty ' PEtTaTE vs. tBBMC HrfEKEST- OUR POLICY. In the arduous and difficult work now b.e- of Southerner^ to toanifest a just apd reason- fore- the Soutl)'- social, p&iticA andih- Soctu Carolina.—It was reported that the election in South Carolina, resulted in thexhoice of a largo majority of “fire caters.” But the-other day, when resolutions- of dis-' content were offered, they received only five votes, and wqe laid on the fable after the foil- ure of a motion to print. The geverpor’s message strongly sustains the president’s re construction policy. These are nuts for cor respondents to ©rack, who have been sending false statements of the feeling of our people to. the Northern press.. Income Tax.—Tire internal revenue laty re quires that all incomes over six hundred, and not exceeding five thousand dollars, shall be taxed at the rate of five percent., and the ex cess over five thousand at the rate of ten pfr cent. Ifan individual's income befiye thous and dollars per annum the six hundred dol lars exempted by law is deducted, and the remaining forty-four hundred assessed at the rate of five per cent. If the income be ten thousand dollars tlicjrate will be five per cent, on forty-four hundred, and ten-percent, on' the remaining five thousand dollars. Negro Suffrage.—At a meeting of the Des Moines (Iowa) conference of the Metho dist Episcopal church, Bishop Simpson pre siding, a resolution in favor of negro suffrage was passed by acclamation. Connecticut is to vote on the firstMonday in October on on amendment to the -State constitution, grant ing the ballot to the colored population.— The republican State convention of "Wiscon sin, held last week, laid on the table resolu tions in favor offcegror suffrage. Mr. Harlnfi, secretary of the interior has written a letter endorsing the resolutions of the republican State convention of Iowa in. favor of allowing colored men to vote, by State action. A Test at Hand.—A floating paragraph announces that the people of Connecticut will, decide the question of negro suffrage in that State, at the October electron, yea or nay.— We are glad this opportunitp of testing pop ular proclivities for the “ American citizen of African descent” is presented. We are anx ions to learn how the principle will be enter tained when affecting themselves, by a people whose representatives in Congress are so anx ious to apply it to the South. An election on this question, in the same State, eighteen yearn ago, resulted in an overwhelming ma jority against the proposition; but we can scarcely hope for a similar result now. The political education of the “ wooden nutmeg” State has been decidedly pernicious of late years, and it may be her people have become thoroughly imbued with the sentiments afi Massachusetts, who are fossilized negropho- bists. As this is the first opportunity pre sented to test the sense of the North ern people on President Johnson’s recon struction policy, the result will be looked for with interest. And we must admit that should Connecticut decide in favor of social and political equality for the negro, her rep resentatives in congress may, with some show of consistency, surge a general acceptance of the proposition. But should this thoroughly abolition State refuse to embrace Sambo, we may accept the verdict as an unerring index of Northern sentiment being against the pol icy. ANOTHER RADICAL 'PRONUNCIA- MENTO. TheMassachusetts republican State conven tion assembled at Worcester, on the fourteenth of this month, to nominate a governor and lay down a platform. The attendance was large, and Senator Sumner was chosen pre siding officer. The resolutions,brcathed, as usual, fire and Sword against the Sbuth, and the chairman demonstrated that his «d -in this Christian mission was unflagging as ever. The resolutions adopted call -for vigor and vigilance, in dealing with the “States lately in rebellion,” and the extirpation of every trace of slavery; that no Southern men who tried to destroy, the nation by arms, are the proper persons to be trusted with authority; and in allusion^o the granting of suffrage to the negros, that “no test can be made which will deny it to those who have borne arms jn defense of the republic, and grant it to rebel L We agree with the Commercial, that the able loyalty to^the government beneath which they now el weft—a government-which dan bless and prosper, them beyond computation, if they wisely avail themselves of its good will and good offices—surely it becomes them to take the most timely and judicious method for that manifestation. These methods should be such as will convince the administration that they are sincere, honest and come from the great heart ofllie'peoplethemselves: they should be such as the chicanery and wire pulling of -political tricksters do not usually bring about, and cannot use for selfish ends f they should be such as jvill convince .the Northern mind that sedition, contumacy, re bellion have expired, and- that a frank and cordial unionism has taken their place: they should be such as will* kill suspicion, begot confidence and secure reliance, not only on the part of the administration, but Of- the greatmass of the thinking and sensible North ern people. . • ■ - . , In the first place, the administration, hav ing Required confidence in us, will proceed rapidly in its scheme of re-construction, re gardless of the carpings of those radical»;who forever oppose what does not tallywith their extreme ideas. In the second place, the great Republican party will gradually awake to the fact that the Sorfth is indeed loyal, and does not need quite so much of its paternal care and atten tion ; and it will intermeddle less and less with our concerns, and interfere less and less with the plans of the government. It will become less inclined to resist the admission of the Southern States, becaustf it will have little reason to do so; and, if its leaders shodld make the attempt, the mighty voice of the. people” of "the whole land would-pnt them, down. •In the third place, harmony and quiet Will be restored the speedier to onr country, ho mogeneity be tha earlier established, a united public sentiment be the sooner secured, and the grand march of the South to honor, pros perity and happiness be entered upon with-, fairer-nuspiccs and beneath brighter" skies. We must not underrate the necessity Ofthis exhibition.of loyalty.;, wc should a,ot misun derstand its -propriety.- Four years liavo, darkened the Northern mind against "us in a wonderful degree, gnd the government is con trolled by that mind more than we tlunk; and wc are in the hand» of the goternment. If we have made up our minds that it. is best for us—our duty and to onr interest—4o sub mit to that government, let ns so signify with a good grace. Th§ times are more grave for us than we, in our indifference and inertness, imagine; and prompter and more decisive measures are-required of us than we suppose." The huge mountain of prejudice and suspi cion we have to remove cannot be dislodged by half-way measures and listless movements; vigorous, whole-souled, universal means must be nctojJte'rl—means that shall indicate heart- impulses— measures that shall cover the whole ground, and leave nothing more to be asked by the administration, and that shall dispel all doubts of loyalty, on the part' of the Northern people themselyes. What is the first grand method we propose to the people of Georgia, by which they shall indicate their acquiescence in the present state of affairs, and their determination to support the administration ? " It is. for ^(liem, all over the State, to' hold .meetings and ex press sentiments of loyalty to the Union—of confidence in the government, and a determi nation to abide by its decrees—of the accept- ance of all the actual results or the war, and of. a determination no mdre to disturb the peace of the country. From every county let there go up a voice which shall reach the government and assnre it of adhesion anH suppbrt; from e'very part of the State let there be sounded forth acquiescence in the death of slavery—submission to the laws of cofigrfcss-^a determination to support the con stitution—a desire for a State, constitution, to' comport with the new-prder of things—a de termination to treat the freedmen with kind-, ness, justice and forbearance—and a desirc- for the general arid continued prosperity of the whole country; and when our convention meets, let it freely^ express these sentiments, and quietly affect the necessary changes in our State laws and constitution fo suit the. altered state of affairs ; gpd when the mem bers of our legislature <ve elected, let such be chosen as will bq most likely to harmonize with, the desires of the Federal government.; ( and, above all, when wq elect men tp con gress, let us.be careful to elect such as •tap least likely to. be objeqted to by the Northern representatives. Let all these measures be adopted, and, at the same rime, let our puh- lic prints, pur private conversations and our general actions, all indicate a general sympa thy with the national administration, and we will soon find our calamities passing away— brotherly kindness and -well-being rap idly restored—peace, harmony and prosperity abounding, and the bright beams of hope and joy illumining all the broad heavens above us. dual rial fjeonst ruction, we can think of no more.appropriate or valuable lesson than that .conveyed incite familiar juvenile story of the old dying patriarch and the bundle of sticks. In illustrating the strength of the Union be defied the united efforts of his sons to break thc faggot, but any one of them, without ap parent effort, could destroy it by the single stick. Just so with the South, even jn this hour of apparent ruin. Each man and each community may be But a’Weak stick, but if all are bound together in a common- purpose if all move forward harmoniously, prudent ly and patriotically,' it is impossible" that "so intelligent an integer should fail to make it self felt and respected. It cannot long re main defenseless. We know what'the South has been. -We; know that the constitution, and government of this great republic archer handywork, and we know how largely she has* heretofore contributed to shape the destinies of the nation. We may be temporarily ruin ed in pqpket4-Kut" the mind—the intelligence,, the animating spirit, still lives. We are still a people of large numbers and vast resources, and amid all the profound darkness and des pondency of the present, we will venture the prediction, that our sun will yet rise again in undimiuished splendor. . But as, in such disordered and unsettled times as these, there seems to be more oppor tunity and greater temptation for factious, discontented, ambitious and selfish spirits to divide and distract the people—forward, pre sumptuous men who rise like foam and bub bles to the top of the seething pot," the lesson of the faggot should be deeply, heeded by the public. Private interests are so intimate-' ly blended with, andinseparjble from, great public interests, that they may be well said- to be almost identical. We have nothing se cure which we may now call onr own, till we re-establish public order'afid security.— Here is the foundation, without'which the whole superstructure of common and private wealth must rest upon the mere-, -breath of toleration or power. Is it at such a time as this, that a people ought to be plagued with the devices and distractions of scliemery and self-seeking politicians ? Nay! nay! Let* them stand aloof for awhile! Let them wait till their sport ceases to -be' death -to the masses. „ ,' . . . And a word in conclusion, personal to the Telegraph. Various are the devices to bring this paper to the aid of mere private, •ventures in politics, -as .well as other schemes of personal advancement. The Telegraph, at no period of its- long -career, ever ran on errands; and, bearing in mind its history, as well as following "out their own conclusions, its present conductors are determined upon pursuing* an entirely independent course, dictated by their own judgment of the public interests, and necessities. We will .publish nothing, no matter where emanating, which, in our opinion, conflicts with this programme, or does not conduce to the ends-ftf a useful,*pa triotic and entertaining newspaper. We hold all communications sent to us for publi cation at our absolute and Unconditional dis posal, and recognise no obligation to publish because we may have been selected a$ the in strumentality for publication". A pi voted to the especial interests and aggran dizement of any particular men or party, cannot be independent and impartial in its conduct. Several letters have been received urging the advocacy of certain measures, from which itio evident, th<*£ the writers have i dividual objects to accomplish; in other words (excuse the phrase) have" “axes to grind.” We positively decline to turn the grind stones. A word to the wise is sufficient. triT" The president, we arc very very fre quently reminded, is “trying an experiment.” Biit those who would "have the country un derstand from that phrase that he • looks up- up his efforts to restore civil government in the South with indifference, and will lightly change his.policy, are, themselves mistaken, or would Receive others. He is determined that his experiment shall succeed, and will employ every fair means within his power to make it a success-- Carl Schurz ( and others, arc-sent South-on tours of observation, that the President may have the benefit of views from tlieir stand-point, and not because he has the" least idea that they win convince him of an.error on his part.— Cincinnati Commer cial, . - • soldiers and traitorous politicians.” After these patriotic and conciliatory reso lutions hadtbeen adopted, senator Sumner, assisted by. another delegate, a colored cler gyman from Boston, fried themselves in speeches of )vhich we give thopurport^They fear that the poor negro, will be forgotten ; ■his claims as a loyal man be- overlooked by an ungrateful nation. That we cannot drf bet ter tlftin “to follow congress in the present exclusion of Confederates from political pow er.” That President-Johnson by all means ought not to be captious and obstinate, but fgjlow congress in its great word of regene ration. That as for himself (Sumner) "oth ers may hesitate, but he will not.” He is de termined “to fight it out,” if it takes the re mainder of his life. The unswerving policy thus to be pursued, by the great tycoon, Charles ScWNeb, and- his satelites, is no doubt greatly to be ad mired. It is just possible, however, tliat the men of the Southern States, when recon structed, will join with the democratic-par ty, aud throw a few stumbling blocks in he way of this party of “progress.” President will not “ lightly ehange his poK cy;” that fce'is“ determined it shall succeed, and will employ ©very fait means within his power to ntake it fk success.” But good Lord deliver us from the reports of “Carl Schnrz and ethers,’’-who have hcen “ soot south on fomp- of-observation.” "We may instance, for example, the late correspondent of the Qounucrcvil, in this city, as one o( those who, like Carl Schurz, could .only lock upon any-, tiling south of Mason & Pixon’s line with jaundiced -eyes. And with that journal we agree, that all such prejudiced, sensational writers wUJ^kil to convince the President he has erred. Our trust is in the head of -the nation, and not the -dispatches of officials Who desire.to" retain soft places, and, there fore, are endeavoring to create an impression- at "Washington that their presence in Dixie i»necass*«'ry to give u» -peace and re-estab lish the national authority. The Massachusetts Supreme Court has de cided that a man’s having taken a license from the United States to sell liquor, does not authorize him to violate the State laws by so doing. THE OCTOBER ELECTION. For the Macon Daily Telegraph.] Messrs. Editors: Having in' response to a call made on- .me through the Journal <£• Messenger, some three weeks ago, consented to serve in the approaching State convention if elected, I beg permission to say, that I have, since that time, seen notbing-to change my purpose. ... - . . Being detained in the country by, sickness, I could not be at the meeting called Jast Thursday, to speak for myself; I did, howev er, before leaving request several of my friends to say, that my name could not be "Used in the meeting in the event of my, absence. And in consequence of this request many of my friends abstained from going to the meeting, and others, who were present, refused to vote. It is to be regretted that some jriends, from a misunderstanding of fhe facts, caused my name to he voted for in the .meeting. They, I trust, will excuse me for refusing to abide the issue of that nomination.' In January, 1861,1 was defeated as an an ti-secession candidate for the convention which attenipted ti) place Georgia out of the Union. Whether I was theft right, or wrong, I must leave others to determine; but the persons who most actively opposed me then, have pursued me eycrslrtcp, and now I find them busil^ nt work again, and for the same pur pose, to wit: To defeat, me, 'because I teas, and aip, a Union man. This is “t^e .head , and front : of my*offending.*•* '<•*»> * +• With the gentlemen whom they have nom inated I lntve no controversy. If tile people of the county thiqk -them better ..qualified than myself to represent them in the conven tion, I am content;' but the people of the county {not a packed caucus)imrat determine the question. I am, therefore, still a candi date for the approaching 'Stile cohicntion. \ If elecj^d, I shall use my best efforts to re store Georgia to her proper position in the Union, and relieve her, as far as possible, from the awful calamities which have been brought upon her in part by the very men who now so bitterly oppose me." And with this brief statement, I most respectfully sub mit the whole matter to. my fellow citizens for their decision. J. H. R. "Washington.
