VOLUME' t: SAVANNAH) DECEMBER 1, 1866.— J MM ]he Dailv News an SATURDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 1, 1806. ' f ~' / ' Colitlcal Treachery Hel TUe apparently preconcerted attempt of the Chicago Times and the Boston Ptidt,-tite organs heretofore of the north-western and jj eW England wings of the Democraey, to pat the party ship on a new tack by pro nouncing in favor of negro suffrage has met with poor success. With the exception of, 0U e other Democratic journal, published in Iowa, the proposition has been emphatically rejected by the conservative masses of the North. The New York World, speaking for, the Democracy of the Middle States, de clares that the party demands nothing for the South but the right of managing its local affairs, in its own way, under the Consjitu- tion, which embraces the power,to vote, on the constitutional amendment and negro sufk fragc as it pleases, unawed by tbe dictation and threats of the Radicals. That when ever, upon its own voluntary motion, any Sjuthern State sees fit to give partial or im partial suffrage to negroes, they will say amen! Whenever any State, by its own free action, refuses, on the other hand, thus to confer the elective franchise, they will also say amen! In other words, in a matter of this kind, each State is the sovereign arbi ter of its own .fate. Such is the doctrine of the Northern conservatives, of the Consti tution and of the Southern people. Tbe reasons of the Southern States for opposing negro suffrage are not based Upon expediency alone, but upon the broad ground that the interference oi Congress is a flagrant violation of the Constitution. Nor can such unwarrantable interference with the domestic affairs of a State be justified by the plea of necessity. The Radical party has once dictated terms of peace and reunion to the South, which were promptly and loyally accepted. These were destruction of slave ry, lepudiation of “rebel’’ debt, and banish ment of large numbers of her moat valued citizens. The same party now seeks “to go back" on their own promises, to repudiate their otru pledges, aud impose new terms of peace aud reuuion, and shamelessly call upon the Southern people to be a party to their own infamy. A man can submit to an evil when imposed by others, but to vote for it would consign him to everlasting dis grace. There is another fact which has not es caped the observation of the Conservative party of the country. Congress has virtual ly declared, with all the emphasis of an en actment, that the Southern States are nothing but territories—that their rejection of the Constitutional Amendment, which is the in- itiory step to negro suffrage, will not be ro garded, and that its adoption by three-fourths of the Northern States eugrafts it upon the or iginal instrument. There is, therefore, this difference between the true Democracy and the Times and Post: the one recognizes the Uaiou in all its integrity—the other circum scribes its limits to the Northern States. For the former lo assent to the proposition of the latter, convinced that all its requisitions are In conflict with the spirit of the document in which it is designed to incorporate it, would be au act of self-stultification without a par? allel in the political history of the country With a view to increase the defection of the journals referred to, it has been an nounced that, in deference to the verdict of the Northern popular will, the President will recommend to the South the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment. We do not be lieve it. For Mr. Johnson has nothing to gain in the way of conciliating his opponents by vacillation, even if he could bo lured by bo tempting a consideration. IJis enemies, who are moved by other considerations than those of good lo tbe country, would be none the less relentless, none the less iuclined to forego the luxury of malice and persecution, should he yield to what is denominated “deference to .the will of the people," and no one comprehends this fact more fully than the President. The statement, therefore, appears absurd. For in doing so, he would necessarily assume the responsibility of advising tbe people of the South to seal their own disfranchiBemedt—to consummate their degradation as a people, The recommendation would be gontrsjy.to his judgment, at variance with all his former declarations, and in opposition to the views of the men whom ho has chosen for bis ad visers for their Capacity to expound Constir rational law. It Is known that upon these impro-ant questions he has not retailed bis views, nor announced in advance. their pur port. We are confident that speculations upon the subject are gratuitous, and may be regarded as the expressions of those who ire anxious to commit him to a cohi.-.l that will justify their own inconsistencies. jj We have noticed a disposition on the part of one or two Southern papers to convey the and tmnmnitiei of rack citizens, and Ufen prohibits the States, or any of them, fh*n abridging such privilege, and if voting is one of the privileges thus secured, then the effect of the Amendment must be to es tablish universal suffrage to all tbe male citizens of the United States who are twenty- one years old and upward, and not legally disfranchised, any constitution or law of any State to the contrary notwithstanding, and it without class, condition or color; and it does it as effectually as it could be- done in the most'positive language. .[For the Ne w* and Herald. DUutchnutti Veracity ai Is it true or is it false ? is a question which vte seriously address to all our Southern contemporaries of the press in relation to the following extract, which we take from the BoetofeTtiily Advertiser of November 2I*t, lMfll' '< J • • The poor children of tbe South, without regard to race, are educated now almost Wholly by Northern charity and Northern Women. Tbe Freedmen’s Union Commission works,equally for the ‘potir white trash’ and the negro children."’ As regards Savannah, we prononace it an unmitigated falsehood, that any support it asked or derived from any Northern source for the education of white children. An an contradicted lie often acquires tbe force of truth ; and gait is a^ays conceived to bad intentions, works fearful mischief What the negropholista of Boston may choose to do for their lovet Is none of our business. We are perfectly willing, nay, think it wise, that the black race should be educated to as high a degree as their capacities will admit; but so far, in Pharisaical Massachusetts, three quartern of a century have elapsed since tbe negro was taken in charge, and his cerebral organs have been no more enlarged than bis skin has been changed. Tbe only way to accomplish either is to mix the breeds, and this being a matter of taste, we leave it to the Radical negropholists to carry into practice. ’ ;i Scbutatoe SAVAzmnus. P. S.—I like to hunt up : and expose false hoods, and as the Boston Daily Advertiser is a rich preserve for such game, whenever the South is concerned yon may bear from me again, if you tike the play and think it worth the candle. 8. S. A Dtll|htfal Place to Reside. Chicago is fast acquiring tbe reputation of an American Sodum and Qomorrah. The papers teem with accounts of crimes and atrocities that are unparalleled. In order la show tbe state of affairs there, and what a delightful place it Is to live in, we give a dis patch received of one day's crimes V Chicago, November 20. One of the most horrible outrages ever perpetrated in this city was brought to light yesterday afternoon. A woman, whose name is -at present unknown, but who was ueally dressed, find has every appearance of respectability, made application for lodging at a house on Archer Road, near Halstead. Oh Sunday evening she was found in a vacant lot, entirely naked and unconscious, and expired in a tew ■dhments. It was then ascertained that her person had been violated, and that her croel treatment, together with the exposure and shame, bad produced death. This morning the police arrested sixteen men and boys, who are charged with being engaged to the affair. Bight of them confess their guilt. Tbe horrid affair is creating a profound sen sation here.! The body of an unknown man was washed ashore yesterday at the foot of Eighteenth street, yrilh a heavy stone attached to it, aud has probably been the victim of some foul m H d L. Smith, boarding at 188 Eighteenth street, got up from bed at twelve o’clock last night and went ont, since which nothing has been heard of him, As he had considerable money in his possession, it is feared that he has been foully dealt with.

Meagher, Secretary of Montana Territory, feeling aggrieved at some comments upon his official conduct that ap peared in the columns of tbe Montana Post, sent a challenge to the editor. Captain Henry JL filak* formerly of the Eleventh Massa chusetts Regiment. In reply to tbp chal lenge, Captain Blake, who refuses to fight, stigmatizes duelling as murder, and rejoices that during his long military life he never jtjqard of or witnessed a duel in our army. While feeling no eumity to Meagher, he con siders it his right and duty- aad will’con tinue to criticise tbe actions of public men. The captain concludes thus: You may publish me as a coward, but nay scars, of which-this inclement storm remind me, will proclaim that the charge is lalse.
