Official Paper of the City
LAR6EST CIRCULATION IN THE CITY AND COUNTY
THURSDAY, JUNE Si, 1S66.
To oca CocKTBY Fbiends.—As much interest is
It throughout the country in regard to the pros
pects of the cotton and other crops we will be grate
fnl to our planting friends and others in the Interior
for information on that subject. Those who have op
portunities for obtaining valuable information in
regard to the growing crops, the working of the free-
gbor system, and kindred matters, of general interest,
ter a favor by communicating the same to ue.
THE DUTY OP ALL GOOD CITI
ZENS TO REGISTER.
argument is needed to convince our
, that every citizen of Savannah, not
he property owners and tax payers,
ery one who makes our city his liomc-
bls identified with its prosperity, is fo
ld in its good government. It is n
of all citizens to have a voice in
action of municipal officers, and it is
heir fluty as good citizens to make their in
fluence felt in the adoption and enforcement
of such laws and regulations as will advance
the best interests of the city and promote
peace and good order. As a condition pre
cedent. however, to a participation in the
city elections and the city government, it is
necessary, under the existing laws, that ah
voters shall register their names with the
Clerk of Council within the timo specified.
This is a duty which no one who feels an in
terest in the welfare of the city, and who
is desirous of assuming his full share of the
responsibility and of enjoying all the privi
leges of citizenship, should neglect. We
desire to urge this matter upon the attention
of our citizens, and in order that none may
be mistaken in regard to their duty and their
1 ights, we publish from ^the digest the fol
lowing section of the law defining who an
nual i fled as voters, and who are entitled to
register as such a
“4740.—All persons shall be qualified to
vote at elections for Mayor and Aldermen of
the city of Savannah who are citizens of the
United States, who have resided in the State
for one year immediately preceding the elec
tion, and continued to do so up to the time
of election, and within the corporate limits
of Savannah for one month immediately pre
ceding their registration, and for four months
before the election, who have attained the
i of twenty-one years, and have paid all
axes or have in their own right sufficient
ite 'to satisfy any tax executions which
. against them; who shall have
(urns required by the ordinances
have been registered accord-
istrv book is now open at the
Sea,’ and the names of voters will be
registered until the first week in September,
when by law the registry closes, and all per
sons who fail to register will after that date
not only be defaulters, and liable to execu
tion for doable poll tax, but will be precluded
from voting at the election for Mayor and
Aldermen in October.
REPRESENTANVOrf THE SOUTH
Should ilia coaatitutioM 'amendment re
cently passed by Cosgsfb bib accepted by
the people the ctaute which makes the
number of ejectors the, basis of represents
tion will operate most unjustly against the
Southern States. ~
It is hardly probable tfiat the right of suf
frage wtyl be accorded to the freedmen of the
South for some time to come, if ever, 'hod as
the case stands the representation of these
Slates in Congress would be largely dimin
ished. A comparison of the present appor
tionment of representatives with what it
would be under .the proposed new arrange
ment exhibits the scale of reduction as
follows : The Alabama representation would
be educed from seven to four members,
Georgia from seven to four, Louisiana from
tour to two, Maryland from five to four,
Mississippi from five to two, Missouri from
uinc to eight, North Carolina from eight to
five, South Carolina from six to two, Tennes
see from eight 'to six, Texas from four to
three, Virginia from eight to six. Dela
ware, Florida and Arkansas would not be
affected by the new apportionment, the first
having one representative, the second one
md the last named two.
In fine, the fourteen Southern States thus
enumerated would lose twenty-five votes, or
one-third of its representation in Congress
by the census of 1660. In the event of the
ratification of the constitutional amendmenl,
the only consolatory reflection would seem
to be that twp-thirds of a representation is
better than none, and that the injustice
would ere long be rectified by fnture legisla
tion resulting from the good sense and just
impulses of the entire country.
But we incline to the opinion the authors
of the propositiou to curtail Southern repre
sentation and to disfranchise a large portion
of the people quite mistake the temper of
the South when they imagine there is here
any such anxiety for re association with them
in Congress and the other branches of the
Government, as to induce the confession of
criminality or the confession of dishonor.
Jndeed there may be no practical advantage
in having representatives in Congress, so
long as that body is swayed by men of such
extreme opinions as Stevens and Kelly and
Sumner and Wade. Bat we indulge the
hope that the Northern people will yet eject
these men and their like from the public
councils, when the South will with pleasure
send back her representatives, who will be
admitted, we take it, without any such con
ditions as are now sought to be imposed.
ANOTHER VETO.
The President lias made another valuable
use of the veto power in placing his seal of
disapproval upon an act of Congress granting
a pre-emption right to the New York and
Montana Manufacturing Company of twenty
sections of land, containing 12,800 acres,
nearly all of which are mineral lands. The
policy of the Government has been, here
tofore, to Bell lands of this description
to the highest bidder, at the minimum
price of twenty dollars per acre, but this bill
proposes to give a wealthy company three
s.-;tions, at 31 25 per acre, payable after two
years.
Some of the Radical Senators were so ex
asperated with the President that they made
a strong effort to insult him by laying the
message on the table without reading it.
This was a most wanton assault on the Exe
cutive branch of the Government. Party
feeling, in its most excited hour, never went
so far before. The large and enlightened
majority in the Senate, highly exasperated
with General Jackson, never thus attempted
to encroach upon the Executive prerogative.
I: did not occur to Clay, Webster and Cal
houn, and other eminent statesmen, that the
Executive could thus be ignored, or that Con
gress could usurp the authority of the Presi
dent, as the Radicals would do. Nor can
such conduct as this be tolerated long. Par
ties, like individuals, can squander their es
tat6s. It may be that a sifting prooess awaits
them. It is to be hoped they cannot, as here
tofore, during the excitement of war, hml
their anathemas and fly their poisoned ar
rows with impunity.
Fxsias News.—There is little news to re
cord m relation to the Fenian movement, ex
cept that orders have been issued by General
Sweeney and Colonel Mehan directing no
more troops to be sent to the frontier, and
that those gone'forward shall return to their
homes. The reason assigned for the failure
of the enterprise, by the leading men of the
Brotherhood, is the opposition of the United
States Government Nothing of importance
was elicited in the examination of President
Roberts, and others, before court, witnesses
declining to testify, on the ground that they
would criminate themselves. Mr. Roberts
has been released from imprisonment.
Troubles in the Wbst.—In a recent tour
made by Gen. Blair through the State of Mis
souri, for the purpose of presenting the Pres
ident's policy to the people, he was continu
ally insulted and bis audiences attacked and
disturbed by rowdies, set on thereto and
countenanced by the radical officials, who
now control-that State. In several instances
fights occurred,'knives and firearms were
freely used, and live* were lost. The radi
cals were the attacking party in every in
stance, and if the slightest resistance was of
fered to their violence, the party resisting
•was arrested, while the real infractors of the
peace were allowed to go scot free.
THE PRISON LIFE OF JEFFERSOsg
DAVIS.
We devote a large portion of oui apace to
day to extracts from Dr. Craven’s intensely
interesting narrative of the prison life of
Jefferson Davis, in the belief that we
could not occupy our columa th matter
that would be read with more universal in
terest. The author, for many months, as med
ical attendant on Mr. Davis, enjoyed pecu
liar facilities for observing his sufferings,
learning hisbpinions, and studying his char
acter. A humane and cultivated gentleman,
it is not wonderful that, notwithstanding his
strong Northern prejudices, he came to sym
pathize with the sufferings, and learned to
respect and venerate the person of his dis
tinguished patient.
To him the South, the nation,and the civil
ized world are indebted for the only authen
tic revelation that has come from the grated
casemates of the grim fortress, and to his
manly candor and benevolence of heart tho
Southern people owe a debt of gratitude, not
only for having striven to relieve the anguish
of his prison life, but for having vindicated
the character of the chief whom they honored
and trusted in the past, and whom they still
venerate and love, from the thousand calum
nies which malice would have heaped upon
him.
What will be the effect of Dr. Crave
book on the Northern mind it is difficult
say. Encountering so much prejudice as it
must in that quaiter, it is possible that in the
degree that the generous candor of the au
thor has vindicated and exalted Mr. Davis
to the view of the unprejudiced and fui
judging world, it will inspire the envy and
hatred of his enemies. We observe in the Trib
uue and other journals of its class, notices and
extracts from the book manifestly designed
to counteract any influence which the narra
tive might exert in allaying the prejudice ex
isting against Mr. Davis. Alluding to
private letter of Mrs. Davis, written to the
author in her hours of anguish, the Trilmn
expresses the opinion that—“little educated
as the Northern public may be in the school
of pride, they will deem the letter au in
citemeut to pity rather than to respect of
family misfortunes which, on the whole
are not as great as those borne by many
humbler rebels.”
But the civilized world are not all educated
in Mr. Greeley’s school of philanthropy, and
it is to be hoped there are many at the North
who, though they may not make an os
tentatious display of pretended sympathy,
and are not, perhaps, able to go to Washing
ton and offer $50,000 on Mr. Davis’ bonds,
are still not deaf to the voice of truth, nor so
indurated by envy and hate as to be inserts!
ble to the promptings of humanity towards
fallen enemy. If the volume does no more,
it has broken the silence of the living tomb,
and given utterance to truths that malic
cannot confounded that will live in history
We shall continue our extracts from the
volume, selecting such portions as will be of
greatest interest to our readers.
Vote of Ti.atela* MGen. J«to.W. Geary, by
Solomon'* Lodge, A. F. M.. of Nav#a-
nah. v
At a regular communication of Solomon’s
Lodge, No. 1, A. F. M., ot this city, held
at their hall on Thursday evening, March
15th, 1866, the following preamble and reso
lutions were offered and nnanimonsly
adopted :
Whereas, upon the evacuation of this city
by the Confederate forces on the morning of
the 21st December, 1864, the Masonic Hall
building, (partly owned, by this Lodge,) to
gether with the regalia, furniture and many
valuable mementoes of its past history, were
placed in imminent danger from the mobs
who were plundering many places in the
city, and would have probably been greatly
injured or perhaps destroyed, but for the
prompt action of Maj. Gen. Juo. W. Gear£,
commanding the 2d Division, 20th Army
Corps,' which constituted the advance of the
United States Army, who, upon being in
formed of the state of affairs, as be marched
into the city, promptly placed a strong guard
at the disposal of the W. M. ot the Lodge,
which quickly dispersed the plunderers be
fore any material damage had been done to
the building. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That Solomon’s Lodge, No. 1,
A. F. M., remembers with deep gratitude
this truly Masonic act on the part of General
Geary, and also other favors shown to it
while commanding officer of this post, and
would assure him that his treatment of our
fraternity, and the citizens of this place in
general, in those trying times, gave relief to
many anxious hearts, and will always be ap
preciated by them; and, therefore, be it fur
ther
Resolved, That the thanks of this Lodge be
and the same arejieraby tendered to Brother
P. G. H. P. John W. Geary, of Pennsylvania,
and that the Secretary be, instructed to for
ward a copy of these resolutions to him un
der the seal of the Lodge.
On motion, it was farther
Resolved, That a copy of the above pream
ble and resolutions be forwarded to Brother
Sarul. W. Mason, of the Savannah News and
Herald, for publication at such time as he
shall think proper.
True extracts from the minutes.
J. H. E still, Secretary.
The Tax Bill Nearly Ready.—The
Seuate Finance Committee have about con
luded their consideration of the tax bill.—
Among the changes from the House bill are
the followingThey have added to the free
list sulphur, saltpetre, American wines,
cordage, and cast iron water pipes. They
have taken out mowers and reapers, wooden
ware, sorghum, machinery,and iron bridges
also, papers, except printing, levying a tax
of five per cent, on all other qualities. The
tax ou clothing is raised from one to two per
cent. In place of the advalorem rate on
cigars they have substituted a uniform rate
ot $10 per thousand. The tax on smoking
tobacco is fixed at fifteen cents per pound,
instead of twenty Cents. The House section
in regard to moities is stricken out, as are
also all tho House amendments to the income
tax, thus leaving the tax as it now stands.—
The tax of ten per cent, on the issues ot
State banks is suspended for one year, from
July 1st next.
Official,
PROCEEDINGS OF CMS!
A Commanlcatlyi from the Secretary
of the Treaiery-
Washington, June 20.—The Secretary of the Trea
sury, in a communication' to the House, expresses an
opinion, based upon his observation .of tha^operation
of the law of 1861, that an addition*! enactment au
thorizing the resumption by the Soathani States, re
spectively, of the remainder of the direct tax due team
each would, in view of the present impoverished qon-
dltion of the people, prevent much hardship in indi
vidual cases and save from confiscation tha property
of many persons against whom the Government has
no grounds of complaint, while no public interest
would be injuriously affected by the change. He
states that should this policy be adopted, the cnlliutfea
of taxes under the present system might and ought
to be discontinued until tn opportunity for assump
tion be offered. Whether the amount realized from
the resales of property bidin for the Government
should or ahould not be allowed to the States respec
tively, in computing tho taxes still due, is a question
well deserving of consideration, which is submitted
without comment.
The Senate refused to take up the House resolution
fixing a day for final adjournment, and engaged in the
consideration of the tax bill and adopted tha amend
ment fixing the price at two cents a pound on cotton.
The House refused to concur iq^the Senate amend
ment to the Paris Exposition bill.
A Beastly Prise Fight.
Washington, June 20.— A prize fight took place this
evening at a point on the Virginia side of the Poto-
mac river, between Samuel Collier, of Baltimore, and Street. Comer Of BrVail.
Barney Aarons, of New York. Forty-seven rounds 9 J
were fonght, and resulted in the defeat of Aarons.
Both parties were seriously injured. Upon their re
turn to this city they, with others concerned, were
arrested. They will be held for requisition from the
Governor of Virginia.

The Confederate Dead.—The Franklin
(Terra.) Review, of the 14th inst., says tha
Confederate dead from the battle-field, and
for five miles around Franklin, have been re
moved and re-interred in the McGavock
Cemetery. The number interred is 1,486.
The editor is preparing a list of the names

l „ I® Cholera.—A New York paper of the
If®® 1 mat., speaking of the cholera' in that
JUy, says three or four isolated cnees J»gve
Tfcth reported within the past "few dajrg, and
accordingly a little additional interest has
been excited as to the chances of the disease
assuming an epidemic form. It believes
there is no cause of apprehension simply be
cause of the cases referred to; and no
doubt just such cases occur every year at
about this season, bat ordinarily they pass
for cholera morbus or some kindred '’••r-am
Murders at Memphis* Tennessee, and
Little Rock, Arkansas. — Last Friday
posse of men attempted to carry into Mem
phis two men, named 8. Rogett and Frank
Wingate, arrested for the murder of a man
named Payne, on Tuesday night. It seems
that the guilty parties were informed on by
E. N. Bank, an accomplice, who hunted them
out near this city this morning. On nearing
the city they were met by a Mr. Henderson,
a relative of Payne, who shot all three, kill
ing Bank and tnortally wounding Rogett.
The leader of the posse ordered Henderson
to desist, and, on refusing, the latter was
shot and killed. The man who killed Hen
dereon was Henderson’s own nncle.
A telegram from Little Rock on Thursday
night states that Dr. Webb, a wealthy citizen
of that place, and his son, were murdered in
their beds by an unknown assassin.
Resolutions Complihxntaby to General
Geary.—We publish in another column some
resolutions adopted in March last, by Solo
mon's Lodge, No. 1, A. F. M., complimen
tary to General Jno. W. Geary, of Pennsylva
nia, who assumed command of Savannah at
the time of ite capture. We have delayed the
publication thus long to allow sufficient time
to elapse for General Geary to receive the
official copy of the resolutions before their
appearance here in print. We are indebted
to Mr. J. Holbrook Kstill, Secretary of the
Lodge, for a rescript of the reoorda ,relating
to this subject.
t (Hi >
Col. Woods, late of Montgomery, Ala.,
was, on Thursday, in the Supreme Court of
New York, on motion of 3. g. Winter, Esq.,
admitted to practice as an attorney and coun
sellor at law in the courts of that State.
Immigration.—Forty thousand and forty-
nine alien bom immigrants arrived at the
port of New York during the last month
This is nearly double the arrivals in the cor
responding month of last year, and those of
the first five months of this year are nearly
double those of the same period last year.
From the opening of January up to this date
the numbers rise as high a- one hundred
thousand. Those who understand the mat
ter estimate that we shall get up to a quarter
of a million before the close of the year.
Though even this will fall far short of 1854—
the great emigration year—it will surpass any
other recent year.
Genl. Robert E. Lee.—Mr. R. H. Brown
whose photographic establishment is over
the Timber Cutters’ Bank, corner of St
Julian and Barnard streets, has sent us a
photographic likeness of Gen. Lee, which is
not only a fine specimen of the photographic
art, but is decidedly the bcst'likeness of the
distinguished ex-commander of the armies
of the Confederacy we have ever seen.
Quiet on the Canadian Border.—General
Meade has issued an order appointing Gen.
Barry to the command of the whole frontier
from Erie to Plattsburg, and has ordered all
United States troops, except one company,
back to their stations.
General Meade thinks no further trouble
need be apprehended on the border.
Tennessee—It is said that Brownlow will
convene the Legislature, which adjourned
till November next, in extra session, to ratify
the fourteeth article of the National Constitu
tion before the adjournment of Congress.
