Tri-Weekly News and Herald,
MONDAY MORNING. JULY 2.1866.
GOVERNOR HAMILTON, OF TEXAS.
Directly after this gentleman delivered his
very radical speech in Texas—similar in de
nunciatory style to Underwood’s charge to
the Jury in Bicbmond—he was announced
as being on his way North. This speech was
a sort of an avanl courier to prepare for his
pleasant reception by the radicals. The ar
rival of the Governor in Washington has
been announced, where he teas received with
manv demonstrations of affection by his rad
ical friends- It would seem from a Texas
paper that there is much truth in the saying
“that a prophet is not without honor save in
his own country," for it congratulates the
people there upon the departure of the Gov
ernor, nine-tenths of whom, it says, have felt
nothing but the most utter abhorrence for
his sentiments and speeches, and for his
general temper toward his fellow-citizens
ever since his return to the State. It de
nounces him as a bold, bad man—an eueniy
to the people of his State, an enemy to the
Constitution of the United States, an enemy
to President Johnson, and an enemy to the
peaceful restoration of the Union.
Te»tiau>ntal of Respect.
At a meeting of the resident students of the
Baltimore Infirmary, held June 23d, relative
to t he death of Mr. E. C. Kpllock, of Savan
nah, Ga., N. S. White was called to the chair.
After soma appropriate remarks, on motion,
the chair appointed Messi'3. W. S. McSherry,
M. M. Walker and G. W. Jones, a committee
to draft resolutions. The following were
reported and adopted:
Whereas, an all-Wise God has seen fit to
to take to himself from our midst our much
beloved friend and classmate, Edward C.
KoLLotK whose religious habits, gentleman
ly bearing and studious exertions won the
admiration of all who knew him There

Be it Resolved, That, though we humbly
submit to the will of a just God, we sincerely

A Washington correspondent states that a
caucus of the Senate members of the Recon
struction Committee ms held on the 25th
instant, to see what disposition should be
made of the special message of the President
on the Constitutional Amendment. After
considerable discussion it was determined that
the matter should be disposed ol before the
full Committee at a subsequent meeting.—
Senators Cowan, Norton and Doolittle were
not invited totake part in the 'Chucus. The

Wu.« Taxes we Pay.—A Northern paper
gives some interesting siatistics, which are of
special interest just now when it is proposed
to pledge the taitli of the Government to
the payment ol the debts of “friendly re
publics."
The public revenue from taxes, direct
and indirect, during each of the fiscal years
1865-6 afid 1866-7 is officially estimated at
$525,000,000, say S16 50 per head of the
total population of the United States—being
thirty-four per cent, more than is paid by

amendment had no!
for approval.
The New York Times (Republican) justi
fies the act of the Executive, and says if the
amendment had been left after its passage to
take its usual course, the President would
have bad no occasion to express his opinion
in regard to it, or to send in any message at
all. Bnt this would not answer. 8c a joint
resolution was passed directing Mr. Johnson
to transmit the amendment to the States.
The receipt of such a resolution made it ne
cessary for him to make some reply. He
had said nothing, directly or indirectly, to
Congress upon the subject. But as he had
done precisely what Congress directed him to
do, three days before the directions were is
sued, it seemed not only proper, but essen
tial that he should inform them of that fact;
and as Congress seemed inclioed to infer that
he would not send the amendment to the
States unless he approved of it, it was quite
proper that he should correct their impres
sions on this point. So far from the Presi
dent thrusting bis message upon Congress,
as it is charged, the President never indi
cated the slightest purpose to do anything of
the kind until Congress itself invited, and in
fact forced him to do it.
A CHANGE OF TONE.
There are several Southern railroad d ic
tations in Cincinnati looking after the inter
nal improvement and interests of tiiei; res
pective sections. The merchant , .u.d ■. »des
men of that city are manifesting a strong
sire to increase commercial intercourse w iih
the South by the building of new roads on
more direct lines, to economise time aud les
sen the cost of transportation. The leading
radical paper of that city, the Gazette, ad
monished doubtless by popular sentiment,
has vert’ suddenly changed its tone in res
pect to the Southern people. It now dis
claims any desire to degrade the Southem-
he hard to make the Southern people be
lieve that those entertaining the princi
ples of the Gazette and kindred sheets, not
only desire at heart to degrade them now,
but to keep them in degradation for many
years to come. Is it not degradation to pre
vent them from having a voice in the coun
sels of the nation, now that the war is ended
and peace is declared ? Is it not degradation
to say by your conduct that you believe them
to be false and insincere, and will not ac
cept of their professions of loyalty to the
Constitution? We have very little faith in
the sympathy of the Gazette for its “ erring
Southern brethem.” We suspect, its present
professions towards us are put on as a sort of
the benefit of the Southern
ng them representing
iterests, and it will no
at its full value.

To the Editor of The News and Herald:
In consequence of the judgment affirmed
in the letter of the Hon. D. C. Whitman,
Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
which was published in the Republican of
the 23th instant, the City Treasurer is com
piled to deduct five per cent, from the cou
pons on those city bonds which were issued
for the purpose of aiding the construction
of railroads. Thera are other bonds
which were issued for different purposes,
such as the construction of water works, the
purchase of tbe Springfield plantation, aud
the improvement of the Savannah River.—
These are not subject to the tax,
and the public should take note of
it. But the coupons on the various bonds
cannot be distinguished the one from
that the Stale of Florida may yet profit by available
opportunities, end in defeating the projected “Florida
connection," and by combination of intervals retain to
the Eastern seaports of their own State the trade of
$18,000,000 (now threatened with diversion to the city
of Savannah), and thereby raise them by easy process
to all tbe importance and prosperity that the city
of Savannah claims to offer in itself as an inducement
to this traffic. *
We commend the spirit of State pride with which
the Union has advanced to battio in behalf of the pros
perity of his own State; but we claim the privilege, as
her nearest and most intimately interested neighbor,
of assisting him in the process of developing the mag
nificent resources of his “gallant little State," and
this we now offer to do through the medium of the
“Florida connection.” In advising any obstacle to
this scheme the Union will defeat itself.
In proposing counter influences to this enterprise,
the U uion claims as a result that the retention of the en
tire trade of Florida to its own seaports will create 8
basis of commerce upon which will arise all the advan.
tages of capital, enterprise, and population, iu as
speedy a manner as that instanced in the city ot Sa
vannah, “which in a few years laid the foundation of
that prosperity that has lifted her from the ]>opulatiou
of 6,000, with a limited local commerce, to that of
30,000 inhabitants." We would here remind the edi
tor of the Union that, for many years afier the com'
pletlnn of the Central, Georgia and Souih Carolina
Railroad, those three grand trunk railroads which
constitute the base of that magnificent system of rail
ways that now etretch sway their iron arms Nor tig
West and South, they failed to sustain the hopes and
promises of their projectors. And why ? Because of
their isolation. Not until a liberal policy of co-opera
tion and extended enterprise brought them into com
petition did tbe extensive traffic arise which so fully
justified the hopes of their projectors. Increased
facilities brought increase of business.
In tills hour ot realized Hope did [he management of
mi, one of these respective roads over propose to in-
t.-i rupt the enterprise and extension of the others?
When the Augusta Si Waynesboro' road was project
ed, it proposed to tap tbe Central railroad at a point
near midway between Macon aud Savannab, thereby
offering a route for the diversion of trade towards
Augusta. Did the City of Savannah object 7 Did she
object because Charleston was brought into connec
tion with Macon and in competition with Savannah.
Or did she yet object to the construction of the Char
leston A Savannah railroad which offered to transfer
trade from her very storehouses ?
The railway system of Florida is a magnificent one,
hut it is isolated. Cat off as it is from all connection
with the railroad system of Georgia, and that of the
United States, it may be operated for years without
the results justified by its conception. The Florida
connection will make railroads of Florida a part of the
great system of the country, and prosperity become
stimulated through the more Important arteries of
trade.
Not only to West and Middle Florida are advanta
ges offered by this connection, but also to East Flor
ida, which, through her accessible seaports, will be
brought into competition with Savannah for the trade
of Thomas, Brooks, Lowndes and the entire section of
South-West Georgia, Into direct communication with
Tennessee and Kentucky and eventually overland,
through Mobile with ti e vast -alley of the Mississippi.
“ Competition is the life oi bade.” Sort!; Jackson
ville and Feruandina annc; object to these addi
tional opportunities for tie exchange of commodities.
The completion of this Florida connection will
bring more prominently into notice the advantages of
the route from New Orleans by steamer to St. Ma- ks
and thence by rail to the Atlantic coast, and by steam
or sail to the North and abroad.
It, iu truth, tbe seaports of Florida offer in them
selves, points of greater accessibility than Savannab,
why should they fear competition with tbe latter
place? Should they not rather led indebted to the
outlay of capital that makes them a point ot delivery
in common with Savannah, for those commodities by
rail, which during tbe last year have been -cut to them
tbranch the old established agency of wagons.
The now a ini-monthly line of si earner- to New Or

We do not propose to contrast the advantages or ac

Onr Washington Correspentaiee.
(From our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington, June 26th, 1866,
The call for a National*Couveution of the esnaen*
tive# of the country excites a great deal of aoment
among the politicians. It is understood to be an ad-
ministration mo v e. The president haa been and la in
the worst position imaginable. With the Cangrean
against him in almost a solid body—with nearly aU hia
own cffioe-holdere against him—his poaibon has been
extremely embarrassing. His effort has been to buUd
up a great conservative party, with a new n *** > *'
free from the odium attached to the Democratic party.
These efforts hithe- *o have not been very auocetoftu,
as the radicals have control of the Republican org
zation, and the Democrats insist on clinging to their
own party. Now it is sought by a National Dnwven-
tion to fix things in this respect. This ft essential to
success against the radicate. This ft the lastchance.
An important feature of this call is, that it invites the
South to participate iu the cou vention. Some persona
of judgment in these matters regard the convention
as a great movement, from which'tbe most Important
consequences may result.
The tariff reported by the committee ft the nearest
approach imaginable to the Japanese policy of non-
intercourse with foreigners. The object is to prevent
importation, and give the home manufacturers exclu
sive control of homo market. The iron and steel men
are not, however, satisfied; they think the duties are
uot high enough. The iuttuence on the finances Of
the country must, it is thought, be very bad after
awbile. If there are uo importations, it is asked how
we wili have exportations f Then how ft the interest
due iu gold on our bouds iu Europe to bo paid? Some
very sapient financier haa proposed to pay this inter
est in paper. But the foreign creditors will not be
much enchanted at this idea. The financial prospects
ahead of the country are as threatening as the politi
cal. The radicate are driving everything as test as
they can to the precipice. Their ideas on finance are
as crude as their political notions. With a thousand
millions .of paper money floating about, and over
three thousand millions ot indebtedness, and gold
fluctuating from 1.26 to 1.C0, the salvation would be
naturally critical, but under radical management it U
alarming.
It is thought, that Gen Rousseau will be expelled.
Two witnesses Tiave been sworn who say they were
present at the fracas, by p rerious notice, to take part
in It, if necessary.
Mr. Pollard, of tile Examiner, was here yesterday
to see about tuu public printing which had been given
to his paper, aud was abont being taken away, in part,
at least. The special resolution, based on ao article
in the Examiner, corlainly assigns a good deal of im
portance to that paper. Pollard is an earnest man,
aud ha 4 , to use Talleyrand's expression, too much zeal
for a diplomatists. Hu downright way is constantly
getting him into scrapes. He had an interview with
Mr. Seward while here, who talked to him in a very
satisfactory manner. By-ttae-bye, Howard has become
a great conservative. There is a fierce war going on
between Seward and the radicals. They charge that
he bates the party because Lincoln was nominated
over him at Chicago, and that he is trying to break it
up.
The proposition made in the Senate yesterday to
pay all loyal men. North and South, for property taken
fur the use of the army is one of vast importance. It
meets with strong support from some of the extreme
men. It is an encouraging sign to see a proposition
made in Congress to do justice to any part of the
South.
It is said officers of the army of the Confederacy are
applying to the Italian minister to get positions in the
army of Itaty, in case the war breaks out in Europe
This is certainly a good opportunity for all Confeder
ates, who are not content with their experience in war.
But one would suppose a reasonable man ought to be
satisfied with what fighting had beeu done, for a while,
at least.
The Congress are determined to build a new Execu
tive mansion. The idea is to build it on the outskirts
of the city, and have a grand park around it. There
the American King is to live, and bis office ft to be
where it now is, and he is to ride in every day and be
iu bis office between certain hoars. The present loca
tion is not healthy in the summer, and the building
aud grounds are nut considered grand enough for a
people who can get up such a big civil war and con
tract bucH a huge debt.
