Tli E HERALD. BY JOIIIV K. SPEKCE< CBEESrSBORO, GA.: .SATURDAY MORNINO,:: : SEPT. 1*^867 NEGRO SUFFRAGE. According to Radical theory, negro—or to use a more refined wont, coloted suffrage, is the great Panacea for the many evils that niiiict oiir disorganised country, especially is its adop tion the moat securo means of reconstructing the Union. Thaddeus Stevens, who claims the paternity of the “sleeping lion” that now quietly rests upon the speaker’s desk, contends that confiscation is one remedy, hut that as a general principle, negro suffrage is the only one ft# all of our afflictions. So thoroughly imbued is the Radical miud with this general principle of negro suffrage, that if asked how thev expect to pay the public debt, the im mensity of which both alarms and oppresses our people, their replica*ion is prepared, “adopt negro suffrage.” So overwhelmingly besotted with the general principle, ftro they, that to the question of how shall our material interest as a nation bo advanced, they are ready to reply, adopt negro suffrage, and theiHsll’s well. The poor man's condition will be bettered, and his children educated, if we adopt negro soffrago say the Radicals, In fact suffrage re constructs the country, pays our enormous tax bills, educates our children,. establishes the prosperity of the country, conciliates the North and South, restores fraternal feeKng, nnd makes ail classes hive oncauother—so say the Radicnls I Fofmfe we cannet see where the steam strikes the wheel.' We cannot for our life, from all the arguments advanced by the advocates of the policy, sec the efficacy of the remedy, or any good sense in its application, Tho good of our country wo have at heart, and any measure calculated to cement tho broken bowl t and calm the howling tempest, we are willing to approve and support with all earnestness and sincerity. Here were we born, and this land is still onr home. We love its memories, and we desire to enjoy and perpetuate consti tutional liberty, and republican government to the last generation. We desire to make the Union wbut it was before fanaticism made its successful attack—the pride and glory of the American—the admired of all nations—the asylum for tho oppressed ; and as it is the “home of the brave,” we fervently hope that it may bo again the “land of the free,” and let any monsure be proposed that will offset such a result, we are ready and anxious to yield our approbation, and give it our earnest support. — Rut when a good portion of our citicena are oatracisod for opinion’s sake, and that without authority, either defined or definable, and w ith military rule over us, and its entraps denying to us the exercise and enjoyment of inalienable rights and privileges, this because of the ex pression of au honestly conceived opinion in some instances in others, an attempt to establish and maintain a principle in a war -waged lor self-preservation and independence, and ia order to regulate affairs, tender us negro •uffrage, as King core all, we think it infinitely vine than the disease, ajidmoretobodrradud. Wl derbot think it a Panacea, and consequently cannot willingly give it our ndhereuce, and while we accord to those who favor it, honesty <>f purpose, we at the same time believe they are Finning against light and knowledge, arid if adopted through their instrumentality, they wdl never cease to regret it. They will never gat done shuddering, end spectres will never o«ve to rise up before thorn, to frighten, and which will finally engulph us all in one common ruin,.. * — I I THE CONVENTION. Tim signs of the times indicate that the elec tion for delegates to the “reconstruction con vsntion,” will transpire about the Ist of No vember. Sinoe the time is drawing near considerations of importance and interest demand that the people should begin to think about who are the most suitable persons to represent them in this convention.. Wo have no inclination to say anything that may be construed as favoringn premature and hooted agitation of the great questions That this convention will be called to puss upon, for we well know the evil tendencies of such a course in the post, and deprecate a repetition of it in the present embarrassed condition of our section. The damaging influences that would accrue to the material prosperity of our country by arousing the newly enfranchised class of our citizens and drawing them from the fields which are now teeming with plenty and awaiting the task of the harvester we an ticipate, and Everything should be done to prevent this agitation, and the state of affairs ♦hat it will necessarily produce. But candi dates can be pnt forward without such results and i* is highly important and in perfeoi ac e< rd with our peculiar situation—the shortness of time, the magnitude of the questions and other considerations ol more or less interest, that we begin to set our houses in order and be prepared for the day. This convention will be bold—touching this all minds agree—of the certainty of this event we entertain not a deubt.andwe extract tho following from “Notes „„ »he Situation” by B. 11. Hill as evidence of that fact. ~ , •The large white disfranchisement, the largo negro vote, and this fraud on the election will, in all probability, accomplish Recall of a Convention." We favor the policy of sending our very best men to this convention —men of intelligence and acknowledged worth, and unquestionable integrity. The idea that members of this convention will be required to subscribe to the “ircn-clad oath” is all bosh, and wo further more believe that a decent white man ean go to that convention and retain his character, Mr. Hill’s opiuiuu to the contrary notwith standing. .... A Asa journalist wc favored registration au vacated it from the beginning, and in the ap proaching election we urge our qualified white voters to attend the election and vote for dele, gates to represent them—vote for decent white 7<*c*. The question “for a convention” or against a convention” is still an issue, and as we have repeatedly referred to it in our col umn*, we have no inclination at this time to review the subject, our position is well known aiid wc have nothing to retract or to add. * It Has’nt Hart Us-Not Much. General Pope hae lucres-ed onr Subscription List. Popular reaction will make u» whole.— Marietta journal. Let the people throughout the State say we act upon the same principle, and sustain the Conservative Press. Gen. Pope s desire is that it may he stopped from official advertisements. —Albany Netoe. , . !■ . Oen. Pope’s last order “translated into the vernacular, means thnt ail the Southern news papers which fail to support the Radical party are to be proscribed.— National Intelligencer. They may be proscribed by power, but they will be. upheld nnd supported by the people.— Alexandria, Va., Gazette. We can assure nor cotemporarics nnd Gen eral Pope, too, that his proscriptive order has signally failed of its intended effect. It is true we lost the official anvertising rtf four or five counties: hut an incteasc of our list of nearly two hundred subscribers will more than counter balance their loss. Tho people of Georgia will support their own papers but General Pope must support his Radical organs. The j/eoplt will not, and this is the best evidence of their hatred of Radicalism and their devotion to the true principles of Constitutional Government. When General Pope's dictatorship terminates in the Third Military District, the obituary of the few Radical papers will be— Died or Starvation. — Chronicle <f: Sentinel. For denouncing Radicalism and refnsing to bastardize our country we have been stripped of the official advertisements of a few counties. We are dtfvnted to correct principles and pro scription will never drive us from the path of duty. Wbon we are delivered from the body of this death Radical papers Will sink to rise no more. “Died of starvation” will be an appropriate obituary, and we respectfully sug gest the epitaph. “Hie jacct mortuus asinus.” * Edwin M. Stnnt in the lately deposed Secre tary of War w ho yielded to “snperior force” is the lion of hut few. This is as it should be. No man, either private' or public, ever bad more “winning ways to make one bate him” than this detcstahlo cuss, whose nefarious deeds appropriately rank with those of tho acknowledged bmtes nnd cannibals of the dark ages. Northern exchanges remark that he is pleasuring if through New England, and cre ates about us much jollification as Benedict Arnold did when he deserted the cause of the Colonies and took refuge on tho British shores. It appears to us as savoring of crnelty to lash him with the pen as his guilty conscience cer tainly causes him to suffer the tortures of the damned. The following we extract from an editorial by “Brick” Pomeroy, of the La Crosse Democrat : * * We pray to God ho may live fifty years, tor tured by a never ceasing, never-fulfilled fear of vengeance from some victim of his villany —haunted by spectres of his victims, some all gaunt with starvation—others dying on battle fields some by military commissions—others dragging disease smitten bodies through years of living dentil! There are civil tribunals too, before which he can be brought in the name o( law—there are myriads ready to involve him in the intricacies and torments of legal pro cesses' Let them swarm about him, —devour him and hits substance —satisfy thoir revenge, and show him that even in the dishonored temple of American justice be can bo called to answer for bis great crimes against citizenship bis defiance of Constitutional rights 1 President's Amnesty Proclamation. Hi/ the President o f the united States of Amer ica : Whereas, In the month of July, A. D. 1861, tho two houses of Congress, with extraordina ry unanimity, solemnly declared that the war then existing was not waged on the part of tho Government in any spirit of oppression, nor for anv purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of overthrowing or inter fering with tho rights or established institutions of the States hut to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Uqion with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the seveml States unimpaired; nnd that as soon as these objects should bo accom plished the war ought to cense. And W it ereaS, The President of the United States, on the Bth day of December, A. It. 1863, and on the 26th day of March, A. D. 1804, with tho objects of suppressing tho then existing rebellion, nnd of inducing all persons to return to their loyalty, and of restoring tho authority of the United States, issuod proclama tions offering amnosty nnd pardons to all per sons who had directly or indirectly participated in the then existing rebellion, except ns in those proclamations was specified nnd reserved. And WrtERSAB, The President of tho United States did. on the 29th day of May, A. I). 1865, issue a further proclamation with the same objects before mentioned, and to Die end that the authority of the Government of the United States might be restored, and that peace and order and freedom might bo estab lished ; nnd tho President did. h'y the said'lnst mentioned proclamation, proclaim and declare that ho thereby granted to all persons who had, directly or indirectly, participated in the then existing rebellion, except ns thereitt. ex cepted, amnesty and pnrdon with the restora tion of all rights of property except as to slavs.s, and except in certain cases whore legal proceedings had been instituted, hut Upon tho condition that such persons should take and subscribe to an oath therein prescribed, which oath should be registered for preservation. And Whereas, In nud by the said last msn tioned proclamation of the 29th day of May, A. D. 1865, fourteen extensive classos of per sons therein specially Ascribed were altogeth er exoepted and excluded from the benefits thereof. W, And 'Wuereas, The President of the United States did, on the 2d day of April, A. D._lßflfl, iasuo a proclamation declaring that the insur rcctiou was at an end, aud was thenceforth to bo sq regarded. And Wherias, There now exists no organi zed armed resistance of misguided citizens or others to the authority of the United States in the States ot Georgia, South Carolina, Virgin ia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama. Louis iana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida, and Tex as, and the laws can bo sustained and enforced therein by the proper civil authority, State or Federal, and the people of said States are well and loyally disposed, and have conformed, or if permitted to do so will, conform in their leg islation to the condition of affairs growing out of the amendment to the Constitution ot the United States, prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States. And WHBitFAS, There no longer exists any reasonable ground to apprehend within the States which were involved in the late rebellion any renewalthcrenf, or any unlawful resistance by the people of said States to the Constitution and laws or the United States. * And Wiiuas, Large standing armies, mil tary occupation, martial law, military tribu nals, and the susperihion of the writ of habeas corpus, and the right of trial by jury, are, in time of peace, dangerous to public liberty, .in* compatible mth the individual mghta of tho citizen, contrary to the ganius and spirit of our free institutions and exhaustive of t(ie national resources, and ought not therefore to be sanc tioned or allowed, except in cases of actual ne cessity for repelling invasion or suppressing insurrection or rebellion. AndWherxas, A retaliative or vindictive policy, attended by unnecessary disqualifica tions, pains, penalties, confiscations and dis franchisements, now, as always, could only tend to binder reconciliation among the people, and national restoration—while U must seriously embarrass, obstruct and repress popular ener gies and national industry and enterprise, • And Whereas, For these reasons it is now deemed essential to the public welfare, and to the more perfect restoration of Constitutional law and order, that the said last mentioned proclamation, so as aforesaid issued on the 29th day of May, A. D. 1865, should be modi fied, and that the full and beneficient pardon conceded thereby should lie oppued and further extended to a large iipmber of the persons, wlm, by its aforesaid exceptions, have been hitherto excluded from executive clemency : Now, therefore, be it known that I. Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare that the full par don described in the said proclamation of the 29th day of May, A. D. 1865, shall henceforth be opened nnd extended to all persons who directly or indirectly participated in the late rebellion, with the restoration of all privileges, immunities, and rights of property, except as to property with regard to slavery, and except in cases of legal proceedings under the laws of the United States, but upon this condition, nevertheless, that every suen person who shall geek to avail himself of this proclamation shall take and subscribe the following oath, and shall cause the same to be registered for per manent preservation in the same manner and with the same effect as with tho oath pre scribed in the said proclamation of the 20th of May, 1865, namely: 1 do solemnly swear, or affirm in the pres ence of Almighty God, that I wifi henceforth faithfully support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the Uuited States, and the Un ion of the States therennder, and that I will in like manner abide bp and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the rebellion, with reference to the emancipation of slaves, so help me God. The following persons, and no others, aro excluded from the benefits of this proclamation, and of the said proclamation of tho 29th day of May, 1305, namely: Ist. The chief, or pretended chief executive oflioers, including the President, Vice Presi dent, and all heads of departments of itio pre tended Confederate, or rebel Government; and all who were agents thereof in foreign States or countries;- and all who held or pre tended to hold, in the service of the said pretended Confederate Government, a military rank, or title, above the grade of Brigadier General, or naval rank, or title, rbove that of Captain ; and all who were, or pretended to he, Governors of States while maintaining, abet ting, or submitting to, and acquiescing in the tebellion. 2d. All persons who in any way treated otherwise than as lawful prisoners of war per sons who in any capacity were employed or engaged in the military or naval service of the United States. 3d. All persons who, at the time they may seek to obtain the benefits of this proclamation, are actually in civil, military or naval confine ment or custody, or legally beld to bail, either before or after conviction, nnd all persons who were engaged directly or indirectly in the as sassination of the late President of the l nited States, or in any plot or conspiracy in any manner therewith connected. In testimony whereof I have signed these presents with my hand, and have caused the seal of the United States »o he thereunto affixed. Done at the city of Washington, the 7th day ofSopt., 1867... Andrew Johnson. By the Prcs’t: W. 11. Seward, Sec. of State. TnE Burkac to be Exposed.— Tho proof, says the National Intelligencer, is being pre pared to an amount of fraud and corruption and gross abuse, for political purposes, of the institution entitled The Ereedmens Burear, that will astound the people, who, relying up on the high character and Christian reputation ol its chief, have been unwilling to believe that his subordinates wore everywhere, not only here, but wherever its ramifications extend, making it tho pretext of wholesale frauds up on both the tax payers of the country and upon the freedmen thcmselvas, and using its ma chinery and disbursing its appropriations for the basoet partizan political purposes. A'n oIJ lady being asked to subscribe to a newspaper, declined on tftc ground that when she wanted news she manufactured it. Here is some of her own manufacture : Mrs. Jasper told me that sho hoard’ Great Wood’s wife say that John Ilardrone’s wife mentioned to lier that Mrs. Trusty was pres ent when the widow Barnman said that Cap tain Hertell’s cousin thought lie* Doolittle’s sister believed that old Mrs. Olby reckoned tliat Sam Trifles better half had told Mrs. Spalding that she heard John Rhenne’s woman say thaj her mother told her that Mrs. Baga telle had two husbands. Sensitive, Very. The Macon TclegrdpH makes the following hit at Potash Farrow and his class: “Southern born men who'have deserted thoir Country in the hour of distress, and joined the the North to overthrow the Federal Constitution and erect negro govern ments over tha Southern States, complain and whine no little wheat the hard names that are applied to them. As well might a man who had stolen a barse complain of being cattbff a thief. Show that the epithets arc utideserveff, and not whine about thettr; at the same time going on in yoflf guilty cofftso and glorying in your shame." Cdi-n and Cotton Prospects. From a gentleman who has recently returned from a trip to several of the counties in North eastern Georgia, we learn that tho corn crop in that section of our State is more abundant than it has been for many years past, and that corn may be purchased there at 25 cents per bushel. Wc lean also from another gentleman that the grain crops in Southern Georgia are very fino, but recently much damage has been done the cotton crop by excessive rains, have caused rust and rot to appear, and the blooms o fall. From other parts of the State we have the same intelligence in regard to cotton.— At. Inte!. Wendell Phillip* wants a negro for Vice- President,hoping that the man elected as Pres ident will die. TbeD. by a dispensation of Radical proridence, we can have a nigger r.-ezident. The Latest News. - Hanger, Sept. 10. The result of the election in Maine yes terday has astonished both parties. The immense ReAiblican majority of last j ear, which was fMOO, lia s been nearl Y if not entirely overcome, and it will take some (lavs certainly to determine whether the radical candidate for Governor is elected. The counties of York, Knox, Lincoln, Washington and Aroostook have certainly been gained by the Democrats, and others are in doubt. Savannah, Sept. 11. Heavy rain storm all day. One house struck* by lightning, and badly damaged Mrs. C. Roch“ killed. The track of the Albany A Gulf railroad washed near the depot, but travel not interrupted. Washington, Sept. 11. The heavy radical loss in Maine creates intense excitement, lhe lower house, which last session h and but 13 Democrats, is now claimed by that party. The great central States of New York, Pennsylva nia and Ohio are claimed as certain, and the defeat of negro suffrage in Ohio seems conceded. The official correspondence on the subject of the United States claims on Great Britain, for spoiliations committed on American commerce by the Alabama and other Confederate privateers, shows this'Government;will agree only to un restricted arbitration in every case. A Miserable Picture. —A miserable picture, even in the old times of slavery, was a white man who had to work him self, but was ashamed of it. To see a felloW now, cleaning his bcott, and if lie bears anybody coming, hiding the brush, or to see a farmer working in the field, but laying down his hoe at ti e approach of his neighbor, is bad enough ; but not so hopeless as one who prefers to suffer than work even in secret. The man who is not ashamed to say ; “I am poor and have to work with my own hands,’’ and the woman who is not ashamed toacknowl edge that her husband is not rich and that she has to cook ; these are the people who are to revive our broken fortunes and repair the ravages of war. The Thomasville Enterprise of the 3d ha3 very unfavorable accounts of the pres ent prospect of the cotton crop in that section. The late incessant rains have done immense damage to the cotton, enur ing it to run to weed instead of bearing fruit while rust and caterpillars are alsb ravaging the fields. Some gontlemen say, their cotton crops are greatly damag ed hv rain ami rust, while others dcc’are that ’ll' 1 caterpillars are devouring every thing. A Severe Retort. —“ From the Boston J®#! we clip the following : “The lnde vcklent says “perhaps Mr. Johnson may have been permitted by Providence to e*iHt.*ilia#it might be seen that oven a drunken inilor sit die helm could not wreck the >lrip of Ft-dis; and perhaps, too, to show that a bad President tffin be removed with r 4 o more disturbance to the nation than the dismissal of An awkward footman to a well regulated family.”— Perhaps Mr. Theodore Tilton :day have been permitted by Providence to exist,- that it might be seen that even a mouth ing hvpocnte could not defile religion, nor a political blackguard affect the desti nies of a nation.’’ Miss Belle Boyd, of Virginia, known as a clashing rebel spy during the war, made her first appearance on the Amer ican stage Monday evening at Deßar's Opera House, St. Louis, in the character of Pauline, in the “Lady of Lyons.’’ There was a good attendance, but the audience was not favorably impressed. At Placerville a Methodist minister went into a tin shop to buy a blowing horn. Selecting one, he asked the clerk whet bent would make a'loud noise ? “Oh; yes,” said the clerk ; “a h-1 of a noise.” “Well,” replied the minister, “as I want it to blow' at a camp meeting, I don’t think that kind of a noise will suit,” and walk ed off: Trlbnle ol Hespeet. At a regular communication of Siloam Lodge No. 99, held at Snapping ShSal-y Ga., Sept., 7th, A. L. 5867, the RJllowi’-fg preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted.

RzsclVed, That wo wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days and that the Jewels of the Lodge be olothed in mourning for the same space of time as a token of onr respect for our deceased Brother.
