These are mere hints, Mr. Editor, upon which the people may think. There is much caution and deliberation requisite. Some of the Northern radicals will endeavor to force negro equality upon us, and many' things will be con nived at necessarily by our people. A bill has already passed the Seuate which admits thc testimony of freedmcn in cases where they are concerned or are parties. I think the Penitentiary will be abol ished, and consequently our Penal Code will be greatly modified to meet the wants of the country. Severe laws and speedy punishment will work for the good of all. The negro must be taught his real posi tion in society, and the white man must make no encroachments upon his rights and privileges.

They are determined we shall be right, according to their inter pretation or’ right, before they grant us any privileges as a State. So I cannot see that Messrs.

Thc true theory is that all pretended j acts of secession from the beginning were ; null and void. States cannot commit treason or screen ! the individual citizen who tnay have com- J mitted treason. The States attempting { to secede have placed themselves in a condition where thei/ functions are sus pended but not destroyed If any State neglects or refuses to perform its offices, there is the more need that thc general government should maintain its authority, and as soon as practicable each State re sume the exercise of all its Amotions. On tl.is principle he has acted, gradual ly and equally, and by almost impossible steps sought to restore the righful energy of the general government and the States. To that end Provisional Governors were II NEW NAN, G EORGIA, AYR on hand, and are constantly stronger will enjoining postponement. The election held on the 15th ult., was intended, not to keep in smooth, uninter rupted movement the machinery of gov ernment, but to set it again in operation after a suspension entirely novel in the history of our State. Thc proceedings adopted in, and ordered by the Conven tion of our people, and the meeting at this time and place of thc legislators and governor elect, were supposed to meet the approbation of the Federal Government, by whose authority, in the exercise of the war power, that suspension was made.— So far as regards the General Assembly, the supposition was apparently well foun ded. They have met and organized with out let or hindrance ; and the Provisional Governor—the accredited organ of the President of the United States has invited their action as a legislative body, upon several distinct subjects. The Governor elect has been less fortunate. On the morning of the meeting of the General Assembly, and before that meeting, he received from his Excellency, thc Pro visional Governor, an official contmntii- cation in the words following: “ Executive Office, ) Jli'ledgevillc, Dee. 4, 1865 j " lion. C. J. Jenkins .* “ Dear Sir—In tlic discharge of an official duty, 1 beg leave to inform you that I have been directed by the Presi dent of the United States to continue to act as Previsional Governor of Georgia until relieved and my successor recogniz ed by thc government. “ Your obedient aerTant, J. Johnson, Provisional Governor of Georgia. I do not communicate this official note to the General Assembly in any querei- no official act—of questionable propriety, because the oath of office, which is thc essence of thc inaugural ceremony, binds the officer from the moment it is taken, to thc discharge of his duties ; as well on that day as on the last one of the term, or any intervening one. Where, then, would-be the propriety of taking such an oath with the full knowledge that the service to which it binds the affiant; is indefinitely postponed ? I feel less hes itation in adopting the course I propose because it. will-not only (as already shown) occasion no detriment to the public ser vice, but will subject the members of the General Assembly to no personal incon venience. I have supposed that even in the event of the entird organization of our Government, at this time, it would be imposible for them to conclude their arduous labors, before the occurence of the Christmas holidays; and that the cir cumstances of the eountry will render it desirable to each and all of them, to be at home during that time and in the early days of January. Hence, I conclude, that in the present defective organization of the State Government and in hope of a decided improvement in our status with in a month or six weeks, it will probably be their pleasure, to take a recess until j some day about the middle of January next. By the 56th section of the Code, it is provided that the inauguration shall take place during thc first week of the Session unless “ prevented by Providen tial cause.” Such prevention I regard as now existing. I therefore designate the 16:h January next, as the day on which I will meet thc Senate aitd House of Rep resentatives, in joint session, for that pur pose, provided, that at that time, the Government of the United States shall have signified a willingness to recognize- ous or complaining spirit.
