To Our Subscribers.
We have, for some time past, notified our
subscribers that we should adopt the cash
idem, but have so far indulged them—it
; ’.tipossible to do so 1 gager. AVe have rc
d iitly purchased new presses, type, &c.,
and have made considerable outlay, and
now we are hard up for cash, while our
subscribers owe us from Sto SIO,OOO. This
money we want at once, to make further
improvements, and must have it; and in
future, no name will be entered or contin
ued on our subscription book without the
i nancy. This, we in ten and strictly to adhere
to, as our experience in “waiting until I
see you’” is very bad ; in fact, “we don’t
eec them at ail.” Now, our friends can
very easily pay us Ihc little each one of
them owe us, and while small to him it
makes considerable to us. On and after
the 10th of February then, we erase every
name from our bookswlio has not paid up,
and send the accounts to a lawyer for col
lection ; vc give them till that time to
square up. vVe do not wish to be mista
ken in our motives, it is necessity, not fear
of losing the money, that compels us to
this course. Most of our subscribers have
been taking our paper for 20 years or more,
and been in tlio habit of paying at the end
of the year, or when they see us. Now it
is dillferent, our expenses arc all cash, most
ly in advance. Our paper costs us from
SI,OOO to $1,200 a month, and our printers
$1,200 to $1,500, besides editors, reporters,
correspondents, &e. Now it is but fair that
our Mends should pay up, as wo need the
money. \Ve are opposed to begging for
what is ours, and consequently, on the 10th
of February, 1566, every man that has not
paid up, will be dropped from our list. In
future the name will be erased from the
book as .men as the time for which lie paid
expires. Rose & Burr.

The Telegraphic News.
The Internal Revenue Commission lias
reported a tax of five cents per pound, on
We expi'eased the opinion a
few days ago that they would recommend
just this tax. There is little doubt that
Congress will impose it.
Government is stopping emigrants from
the South for Mexico, at the port of New
( Means. Under what clause in the Con
stitution is this done? or are hostilities
with the Mexican Empire seriously im
pending? The interdiction will only in
convenience, but not seriously hinder, the
movement. If government wishes to stop
emigration to Mexico, let it stop abolition
persecution of the South in Congress, and
settle up this sectional quarrel on a liberal
and generous basis. This would give quiet
and security to the Southern people and
we should hear no more of going to Mex
ico.
Congress is still in Africa, and is not ex
pected to return to the white settlements
hiring tiiis session.
Will he Accept. —We have been asked
will ex-Gov. Johnston accept the proffered
position of a seat in the FT. S. Senate? We
learn from a friend that a dispatch has been
received at Milledgeville, answering this
question in the affirmative. It is also be
ioved that lie and Mr. Stephens will both
r ddress the people of the State through the
press, or in answer to a resolution address
the Legislature upon the state of the coun
try.
Affairs in Mexico.
Private information, saysthe Nashville
Banner, received at New Orleans, from the
City of Mexico, from a reliable source, isto
the effect that the French troops will not
be withdrawn until Maximilian be free
from American intervention. On the oth
er hand, Maximillian certainly will not
give any position in the Mexican army to
any ex-€on federate commander. The com
mander of the French fleet at Bagdad, in
t!: name of his Government, protested
; \ hist the occupation of the place by the
uxted States, and those who had been
sent over for the protection of the town
and of American interests were withdrawn.
Many families were leaving Mata moms,
fearful of further lawlessness.
A letter from San Francisco, dated De
cember 23d, says that one of Maximilian’s
commissioners, backed by an armed force,
recently arrived at La Eaz, in Lower Cali
fornia, and compelled the submission of
the Governor and Legislature of that State
to Imperial authority, but a revolution was
■oon raised, which placed in power anew
Governor, and other officers adhering to
the cause of President Juarez, and impris
oned ;he Imperial Commissioner and the
old Governor, but they subsequently made
k their escape.
t Iu tiu! states of Sinola, Sonora and Guer-
Htero the Imperialists are confined respec-
IKvely to the ports of Mazatian, Guaymas
Jpd Acapulco, -and do not dare to venture
|teide these towns. They are completely
■gnou in, and even these places would
|b to be given up but for the protection
th -m by the French war vessels in
Harbor.
WL 'Pm Washington correspondent of
|®v. York Commercial Advertiser
Bte Senate is i?i no haste to pass the
m Bill for the District of Columbia.
Mount it be?
Messrs. Stephens and Johnson.
The election of Stephens and Johnson to
the Senate gives great satisfaction to the
people. We have heard but one sentiment
expressed, and that one entire approba
tion of the choice. It is true, the Test
Oath will exclude them, if it be insisted
upen; but equally true that there are, at
present, no indications that Congress-will
admit any representation at all, whether
it can take the oath or not, and true, also,
in our judgment, that not a candidate be
fore the Legislature could conscientious
ly take that oath. It would exclude every
citizen of the State who did not, during the
war, take open issue with the Confederate
Government and people in favor of the
United States, and we know of no public
man iu Georgia who occupied that posi
tion.
The Legislature, therefore, in the pres
ent attitude of affairs, has, we think, done
wisely in selecting our twp most distin
guished and influential men for that posi
tion, and both of them, fortunately, have
a political record which ought to be ac
cepted by every fair minded Northern
man wishing to restore Georgia to the Fed
eral Union. Both were opposed to seces
sion and fought earnestly against it in all
its incipient stages. They acquiesced only
when it had become a fixed and inevitable
fact, and in respect to their conscientious
ly entertained opinions, that allegiance
was due primarily to the State and not to
the Federal Government. The offices they
accepted and held under the Confederate
Government neither of them sought. The
suggestions which controlled these appoint
ments, in both cases, were respect to dis
senting opinion and a natural desire to con
oonciliate all in a movement which it was
felt required the support of the whole peo
ple. *
The attitude of Messrs. Johnson and
Stephens, then, is as little offensive to rea
sonable Northern Unionists as that of any
man who fell in with the secession move
ment. It remains now to be seen—first,
whether the majority in Congress will ad
mit any representatives from the South at
all. It is now given out that they intend
to remand the Southern States back again
under a military and provisional govern
ment, for which Congress itself will as
sume all the functions of legislation. Sec
ondly, if they conclude to admit represen
tatives and senators, will the existing test
oath be insisted upon as an indispensable
qualification. If so, then will come up the
question as to what policy it will be proper
for Georgia and the South to pursue under
the circumstances —whether to decline such
representation altogether or to make an at
tempt to secure it under the requirements
of the test oath. Every member elect in
Georgia will come alike under the disqual
ification, and unless we should take up for
the occasion such new immigrants as may
have come to the State since the war, we
hardly see how the delegation can be filled
from State resources. It will be a grave
question, as to what the State, in*self-de
fenee and self-interest ought to do in such
a case, the solution of which, under pres
ent aspects, we are content to leave till the
emergency arises, under the general re
mark that we shall be disposed to favor ev
ery possible resort to self-protection within
the boundaries of honor and self-respect.
The compliment of this election to
Messrs. Stephens and Johnson is peculiar
ly gratifying, from the fact that neither
was a candidate. Mr. Stephens had ex
pressly prohibited the use of his name in
that connection. Gov. Johnson had also
declined to be a candidate, and the position
has thus been imposed upon them, against
their own consent, and the busy canvass
ing of a number of defeated contestants for
the honor.
The “Dignity of Labor.”
Looking back to the old social position
of the South, we find a landed aristocracy
controlling its policy. Without formal ti
tles of rank, they had all the essentials of
a class nobility. They were the magnates
of the land, holding the “poor whites” in
a political subjugation designed to keep
them ignorant and debased, and main
taining that subjugation by the strong con
trast afforded by the condition of the en
slaved blacks. Labor was tabooed as dis
graceful; and without labor the lower
classes of whites remained, socially the
nominal equals, politically the serfs, of the
great land-owner. — Neiv York Times.
Notwithstanding the adage that “truth
is mighty and will prevail,” we believe
many lies and blunders will live and
thrive to the end of time. This is one of
them. Labor was never practically or
theoretically degrading in the South. On
the contrary, there was no part of the world
in which the poor white man, ambitious
to better his condition by a diligent at
tention to his trade or occupation, met
with so much respect and sympathy.
While such a man’s self-respect would
often be wounded in the North by the
petulance and arrogance of the “moneyed
aristocracy’ of that quarter, the ‘landed ar
istocracy’ of the South, in their intercourse
with him, treated him with marked kind
ness and courtesy. We have heard north
ern mechanics complain of even an op
pressive and inconvenient courtesy, which
when they were at work on plantations,
would insist upon their taking a seat with
the planter’s family at the dinner table,
when, in their working garb, and the dis
order of toil, they felt awkward among
well dressed people. And this usage was
not exceptional, but universal. The white
man in the South who respected himself,
was sure of respectful treatment from the
“aristocracy.” It was the most liberal and
genial aristocracy on the continent. It
was polite to all, white and black, and its
fundamental assumption was that in the
“distinction of color” the white man was
prima facia a gentleman. The rude and
peremptory tone in which dependents and
subordinates are acosted in the North was
unknown here, or if heard —it came from
the novas homo, and not from the old
“landed aristocracy.”
As for the charge that it sought to keep
poor whites “ignorant and debased” it is ns
unjust a slander as was ever written. Noth
ing could be a source of greater vexation to
to the “landed aristocracy” than ignorant
and debased whiles. They corrupted his
servants— taught them to steal, to drink
and to gamble, and preyed upon his estates.
His every interest demanded that his
white neighbors should be respectable and
well-behaved, and if many of them were
not altogether so, the same may be said
with greater force of the white neighbors
of the Northern moneyed aristocracy.
There is more misery, destitution and mor
al debasement in the city of New York
than there was in the whole South in
those days.
It is the design of the Government to
send negro troops to the Western Plains
to guard the forts and protect the people.

gia in relation thereto, and for other pur
poses :

Banks of this State were required to make
large loans to this State, and to receive there
for State Bonds and Treasury notes, which
the State has, in Convention repudiated:—
and whereas, said Banks, by operation of
law, were compelled to receive in payment
and on deposit the Notes of the Confeder
ate government, which are now valueless :
—and whereas, under such coercion, said
Banks did receive said Notes, in manner
aforesaid, till nearly their whole assets
have become vested in that sort of paper,
so that a redemption of their Notes of cir
culation has become utterly impossible
and whereas this utter insolvency has been
the inevitable consequence of the legisla
tion of the State, though bv no means ex
pected or foreseenand whereas the lar
ger portion of the Notes of said Banks is
now held by speculators abroad, who have
purchased the same at an enormous dis
count, with a view to require payment
thereof from individual stockholders, a
large proportion of whom arc widows, or
phans, guardians and trustees:
Sec. 1. The General Assembly of the
State of Georgia do enact, That the several
Banks of this State be allowed to go into
immediate liquidation by making assign
ments of all their assets, real, personal,

ment may be made to any officer or stock
holder of such banks, as well as to any
other person :—and such assignee shall be
removable for sufficient cause by the Judge
of the Superior Court of the county, where
the Bank transacted its usual business,
and shall be governed by the provisions of
the Code of this State contained in sec
tions 1435 to 1440 inclusive. And any as
signment, made by any Bank after the
first day of December, 1865, and prior to
the passage of this Act, of all its assets for
the benefit of its creditors, shall be subject
to all the provisions of this Act, and the
assignee shall be governed by the provis
ions of the Code above referred to. Such
assignments, when so made, shall operate
as a surrender and acceptance by the State
(by virtue of this Act) of the charters of
the Banks making the same.
Sec. 2. All officers, directors, and stock
holders of the Institutions aforesaid ma
king such assignments are hereby relieved
from all pains and penalties, under exist
ing laws, in consequence of the failure of
such corporations, or in consequence of
their transactions as such officers, dßectors
and stockholders, except in cases of actual
fraud or personal malfeasance, and to that
extent all laws, imposing such penalties,
are hereby repealed.
Sec. 3. Sections three thousand two hun
dred and eighty-three to three thousand
two hundred and eighty-eight, both inclu
sive, of Part 3, Title 2, Capter 3, Article 2,
of the Code of Georgia, providing summa- I
Ty and cumulative remedies against the !
officers and stockholders of Banks, are
hereby repealed, as to all Banks and the
officers and stockholders thereof making
the assignments hereinbefore provided for.
Sec. 4. Every holder of the bills of any
of such Banks, shall be entitled to his full
share of the assets of such Banks, in the
hands of the assignee, according to the
priorities established by law: —but neither
such holder of bills nor the assignee shall
be allowed to proceed by suit against any
stockholder, personally, for collecting
what may remain unpaid, within ten
years from the passage of this Act, unless
permitted so to do by some future Act of
the General Assembly.
Sec. 5. All laws and parts of laws, mili
tating against or conflicting with this Act,
are hereby repealed.
Sec. 6. This Act shall take effect from
the day of its final passage and approval
by the Governor.

FIVE CENTS PER POUND LEVIED
ON COTTON.
Washington, Jan. 30—The report of
the United States Internal Revenue Com
mission recommended that a tax of five
cents per pound be levied on all cotton
raised in the United States after January
Ist, 18G6, and that the tax on cotton con
sumed in this country be levied on the
manufacturers, and upon that exported
upon the merchant at the place of expor
tation; and that no vessell shall be allowed
to clear from American ports, without a
certificate that the tax has been paid.
The Commission also recommended that
so long as there shall be a tax upon Amer

duty on all imported cotton manufactures
of as many cents per pound as is levied on
raw cotton.
A bill embodying the above and other
recommendations is appended to the re

speech alluding to the President in caustic
terms, and said he had vetoed the privi
lege of the House by making a command

of the bill giving protection to [colored]
persons in their rights.

offered by him yesterday relative to de
claring all persons of African descent born
