Savannah News and Herald. BY S. W. MASON. SAMUEti IV. MASON,... .....Editor, VY. T. THOMPSON.......Associate Editor. Official Paper of the City. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE CITY AND COUNTY FRIDAY, APR.I1. RETURN OF AMERICAN BONOS. In some remarks made by us recc-Dtly in relatiou to the Loan bill, we alluded, among oilier reasons for not imposing restrictions on the Secretary of the Treasury, in his efforts to negotiate loans in foreign money markets, if necessary, to unforseen contingencies, which, T)y contracting the currency, would render it difficult to effect such negotiations in the United States. One of these contingencies has actually taken place. Since those re marks were penned our Washingtou corres pondence informs us that “within the last tew days some of the government bonds which had found a market iu Europe re turned upon the money market in Wall street." To those who are familiar with financial subjects it was not difficult to per ceive that the European demand for U. S. government bonds in Europe had pre vented or postponed a money crisis in the United States from the combined efiect of our imports exceeding our exports, and the depreciation of our currency. The tendency to an unfavorable foreign exchange was con sequently counteracted, and there was no extraordinary demand for gold for shipment But it was at the same time easy to perceive that auy pressure on the European money market would lead to the transfer of those American bonds to this side of the Atlantic —that they would make their appearance iu Wail street. Now, we do not mean to say that the period has arrived to produce this effect, or that the contingency has arisen of so great a pressure on the European mouey market as to induce a transfer to the United States of these bonds, to be realized in gold, but that our merchants should be prepared for such au event. Independently of com mercial causes lo produce disturbances iu the level of the precious metals, political events have a consiuerable agency in such disturbances as will greatly depress or ele vate the rates of foreign exchange aud the price ot gold. Nothing can prevent the rise in gold except the action of the Treasury in selling gold, and thus keeping down the price should the laws of trade impel the current of gold to Europe. There are t wo ca uses by which we have been enabled to avert the serious effects of demand for gold to discharge our commercial indebted ness io Europe, arising from the excess of our imports beyond onr exports. 1. The large sup ply of gold from California, in payment for our exports in excess of our imports to that coun try; and second; from the great European de mand for our bonds. But circumstances may arise in Europe countervailing these favora ble influences. The Secretary of the Trea sury lias used artificial means to keep down the price of gold. This can have but p. tem porary efiect. They cannot counteract the laws of trade. If the balance of payments is against us, that balance must be paid. It cau only be paid in value of some kind, and if our products do not, either in value or quantity, equal our imports of foreign mer chandise, the deficiency must be made up by au export of the precious metals. There is little demand at present lor our breadstuffs in Europe. The only existing foreign de mand for American products adequate to the discharge of our commercial debt, is, the de mand for cotton; but the deficiency of the crop promises slender relief, unless the price in Europe should compensate for this defici ency. The indications are, i? there is a money pressure there, that this important staple will not continue at the high level it has borne for some time past. Under these circumstances there are signs of a commercial collapse, both in England and the United States. The reaction here will produce a great contraction of curreney and credit, rendering accommodation at the banks very difficult, and the negotiation of public loans almost impossible.. It is well for our mercantile friends to pause in their operations, to observe the councils of pru dence in the prospect of danger. This warn ing is not uttered in the spirit of false ap prehension and timidity, but reasoning from the lights of experience, and the general maxims of trade and finance, as from effects to their causes, we are warranted in pronoun cing that there is trouble ahead, unless all customary signs should prove fallacious. A QUACK FROM THE DEAD DUCK. As a specimen of the misrepresentations with which the “pimps” of faction are seek ing to intensify the prejudice of the North ern people against the South, we give the following extract from the correspondence of J. \V. Forney, Secretary of the Senate, to his paper, the Philadelphia Press: Washington, D. C., April 10, 1866. •‘It is believed that Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the most treacherous and bloody revolt against free government in hu man history, has come to the conclusion that he cannot ignore three-fourths of the control ling majority of Congres^who so faithfully represent twenty millions of people. He finds the President clothed with almost im perial power, and yet powerless to resist des tiny or to mislead the American masses. The Democratic or Copperhead party, with all their boasts and hopes of Executive as sistance, are weaker than after the fall of Kiclnnond and the surrender of Lee; and he has probably by this time discovered that the easy theory of State rights, upon which he so fully relies, and the protection of that Constitution which he and his associates so deliberately defied, must be set aside for the •nractical duties of the situation. Meb of Mr. Sicphens’ school have done more mischief uy pretending to yield to the fate of war, rtiarutan be cured in a generation of time. They come here possessed with the idea that they have committed no offence whatever. They argue the questions of the hour with tbe sublime assurance of men who had achieved some grand moral triumph, or had escaped with their lives after trying to break down a remorseless despotism. It is ridicu lous to see bow tbe old sense of superiority deludes these people. No sadder instance of it could be found than tbe manner in which they iulatuate Andrew Johnson. We shall soon see if tbe great event of yesterday will bring them aud tbe President to reason. Certain it is, while the majorities in Con gress will iu no sense abandon their high position, they will not be instigated by pas sion or hatred, or seek to embarrass the Ex ecutive in his constitutional duties- I regret to say that the very last intelligence from the South is of the most gloomy character. The seed sown by tbe President has pro duced a terrible harvest, sod, what is worse, it mast be gathered by those who have done their uttermost to maintain the Govern ment- I say this with sorrow.. Such is the present ieeling in the South, and amoug those in the North who support Andrew Johnson’s policy, that every evidence of Southern disloyalty is denounced as a false hood, or characterized as an attempt to creatq ill-feeling between tbe sections. And yet a stern duty demands that the suffering people, white and black, should have a voice to speak their wrongs aod~should be protected by the Qsnhwaut. I speak by the book when 1 say that at this -vary mo ment the condition ot things in the South is more threatening than at any on* period since the defeat of Lee’s army. Let me be- the last Legislature, which he carries with him as a proof of the fitness of the people ot Georgia to live under a republican Govern ment. Before that Legislature adjourned a bill was passed amending tbe ejection law so as to make residence in the State two years instead of, as before, six months, as a con dition to the exercise of the elective fran chise. This, of course, wasinteoded to pre vent emigration from the free States and to retain power in tbe hands of tbe traitors. Following ibis was the result of the election io which "your Savannah correspondent re ferred in'his letter of April 3, where not only tbe Uuiou candidates were overwhelm ingly defeated by open and active rebels, but the Government and loyal men openly in sulted. For tbe benefit of Mr. Stephens and iiis sympathizers here and elsewhere, I re peat your correspondent's words, to show bow the test oath is observed by these “recon structed’’ Georgians : “One man with a ballot in bis bands de clared in loud tones, ‘Yes, by G—d, I Lave always beeu a rebel, and always will be, aud intend to vote tbe full rebel ticket.’ An other said boldly, ‘1 have taken tbe oath of allegiance, but the Government of tbe United Stales bus forfeited its contract with me, and by G—d, I will forfeit my obligations to it.’ However, the election is over, and we presume none of our readers regret that the excitement, disputes, and bickerings are eiided for tbe present. All that now remains to be finished prior to tbe assembling of tbe convention is tlie decision whether tbe can didates elected can take tbeir seats. ‘But this is not all, nor tbe worst of it. I learn that by an order coming from the President of tbe United States, tee brave edi tor ot tbe Savannah (Ga.) National Republi can. John E. Hayes, Esq., has been directed to return the types and materials of that pa- oer to Sims, its original rebel owner! This Sims was one of the most venomous of the rebel editors, and is charged with having as aisled in dragging through tbe streets of Sa vannah a disgraceful effigy of the. lamented Lincoln. When Gen. Sherman entered Sa vannah. Mr. Hayes, a loyal man, who lost a father and a brother in the service of his.country, and had fiimseli fought for the flag, was instructed to take charge of the office of the Republican, and from that day to this he has conducted it with matchless ability ami industry, improving it in every respect, by purchasing with his own means types aud presses from the North: He was rapidly creating the strongest Union feeling, shaking of treason and of traitors ns they deserve, when the order to which I refer came from Washington aud was presented under the most humiliating circumstances. An ex general of the rebel army; a mail who assisted to drag the American flag through tlie streets ot SavannZh, acting for Sims or in his company, demanded the return of the whole of the materials of the office from Mr. Hayes, includiog that which he had pur chased with tiis own money. The order in question refers the dispute between the two parties, Sims and Hayes, ‘‘to the jurisdiction of the civil courts for adjustment.” The ef fect of this Andrew Johnson decree is to ruin one of the bravest Union editors iu the South, unless he cau be induced to recede from it, or unless Mr. Hayes can obtain re dress under the Civil Rights bill, which i9 now, thank God, a law of the land. We have no term9 in which to characterize such villainous falsehoods ,as are contained in the above. In this community, where tbe facts are known, comment is unneces sary. The laws of Tennessee prohibit negroes from keeping tippling houses or billiard sa loons. A few days ago at Memphis, the At torney General, Mr. Wallace, presented sev eral of these cases to the Crlfninol Court, •Tudge Hunter presiding. Confederate Gen eral Chalmers and Mr. Rule, attorneys for the defence, pleaded in abatement the Civil Rights law of Congress—maintaining that all men are entitled to equal rights under its provisions. The Judge, who is an intense radical and an appointee of Parson Brown- low, took the question under advisement. Smyrna, Fla.—We learn that this port,on the Mosquito Inlet, is rapidly crowing in importance. Mills are beiog erected, a hotel is about being built, large fruit, vegetable and agricultural enterprises are being devel oped, and the population bids fair soon to be very large. Change of Gauge.—A Columbus paper stales that arrangements are in progress to ebangethe gauge of the Opelika branch road, and of the Montgomery and We9t Point road, fry the first’of July, by which time the bridge across the Chattahoochee, at Columbus, will be completed. With the gauge on these roads widened, trains could run from Mobile to any point North, either by Columbus or Atlanta, without interruption. The above improvements were determined upon at a late meeting of the stockholders of the Montgomery and West Point road, held in Montgomery, in .which the principal Geor gia roads were represented. An Important Decision. In the Superior Court, yesterday, the case of Hiram Milliken vs. The Mechanics’ Bank, which was a suit brought by tbe plaintiff on the notes of the Bank amounting to some ten or twelve thousand dollars, being called, the counsel for the Bank, Judge W. T. Govld, moved for a continuance of the case upon the ground that at a reCent session of the General Assembly a joint resolution was passed, and approved on the 15th December last ,hy tbe Governor, directing that ul! suits agaiust the Banks of the State should lie continued until the final adjournment of the General Assembly. This motion wa3 re sisted by Geo. T. Barnes, Esq., attorney for the plaintiff, who made a very able argu ment against the motion. Capt. Barnes urged with great force, first, that the resolu tion was unconstitutional in this, that it was obnoxious to the prohibition contained iu the Constitution agaiust the enactment of retro active laws; secondly, that the resolution fixed tbe time when its operation should cease, and that time, he insisted, was the final adjournment ot tbe session which has recently ended. Judge Reese sustained the motion to con tinue, and overruled both the points made by plaintiff’s counsel. This is a very’im portant decision, and if sustained by the Supreme Court, (which we^doubt,) will give tlie Banks of tbe State another twelve months in which to arrange and wind up their affairs, free from tbe embarrassments of numerous and vexatious suits.—Avgusta Chronicle. DcBow’i Testimony before the Rccon- strnction Committee. J. D. R. DeBow, editor of DeBow’s Review, having recently returned to Washington from an extensive tour through the Southern States, was summoned be* lore the Reconstruction Committee, and gave his tes timony in regard to tbe condition of allairs in the South. We have room for only a few extracts from the evidence which we find in a Washington exchange of the 3d lust. Ur. peBow was questioned as to ths status of ths fraedmen, and testified as follows: Treatment of the Negro.—He is not held responsi ble for what, has happened. A kindly feeling exists toward him. The disposition is to provide for bis necessities and secure hie rights and thus make him a cheerful aud reliable laborer. It is believed to be tbe interest of the employer to do this. I know of some who provide teachers and preachers. No out side interference is necessary. This is no new matter with us. We have had free negroes in aU time. There were some three hundred thousand at the South be fore the war, and half as many at the North. Our treatment of them was never complained of. No charges of that kind cam* even from the North. When 1 was at the head of the United States Census Office, in 1863,1 compared ths condition of these ntople in both sections, and published the results. The advan tage in education aud property was largely in favor of llie Southern froedmeu. Some of our freemen owned largo plantations and slaves, many were extensive property holders. If with outside pressure this was the case then, why not now ? Why should wo change? What policy, to say no more, would be subserved V We ccndo right now as well as then, and will do it. JCmancipaUon as compared with Slavery ir the negro works up to the former standard, the present system is cheaper. It it too soon to decide whether he will work. A summer mutt come and go. They work very well so tor generallv though the women are not disposed to fieldwork. Upon the-mere money quus- tion the South-would be benefited, if we can pet the labor it win be cheeper toShiip then to own the nepro. A filantation could be worked with little outlay. £ffi*ct upon the pgro:—Emancipation wili prove die* astrou* tohim. I judge that from the experience of other countries, and not from any wa have yet had. I judge by hie thriftless character, and disposition to crowd into the cities and towns. It ia what I see aU overyhe South. In the suburb, everywhere you will out e who have come to tbe 8outh since the war very generally think as we do in these matters. They say they have found our experience worth more than their theories. -He negro to not thought to be susceptible of much education. People rather smile at the at tempt to educate them. Thereto no opposition to it, however. Schools for them are multiplying. Under slavery they were taught on tbe plantations Bible les sons, hymns, catechism,.etc. Designs of the Radicals. —The real point these men are laboring to leach, to the abolition of all the distinctions of race, and for two very potent reasons. First, it is the logical result of their principles, and the natural tendency of their party is in that direc tion ; but the.second and most Important reason is that there to no safety or real success for them or their pirty, until they do reach it. Hence, whatever may be in their way, they are bound to reach it if they can Attempt to arbf.st Mosey.—An attempt was made tast week by the Federal troopa stationed at Leesburg lo arrest the notorious cavalryman, John S. Moahy.for appearing on the street dressed in Confederate uni form. Moeby took to tbe woods, thus evading the guards, who fired several shots. By Telegraph. Another Cholera Ship Arrived.
