SAVANNAH:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. SO.
juvenile Cotton Merchants.
Our attention has been frequently called of
late to the practice of a large number of boys and
girls, both white and black, gathering cotton
around the wharves and other places, by which
the owners are daily robbed of large quantities
' of this valuable staple. We have been informed
that there are parties in this city, of doubtful
character, who purchase all the cotton procured
in this way-, knowing the illegimate way in which
it comes into the possession o( these vagrsuts,
thereby encouraging these youngsters on a
course of immoral conduct, which, it not checked,
wili.lead to crimes of greater magnitude.
The plan pursued by these juvenile merchants
is to frequent places where cotton may be landed,
and under pretense atipieking up tbe waste cot
ton, to which there would be no objection, freely
sampling the bales, wherever there is an open*-
fng, and in many instances catting tbe bales, so
as to obtain the cotton, la this way large quan
tities of cotton are carried of—tbe amount taken
bjr each individual being from five to twelve
pounds. '
> ■ We have ourselves on more than sae occasion
been witness-of the operations of a number of
these little scamps, and have been intormed that
in some instances, where the hales have been
received broken open, as much as thirty pounds
have been taken from them. This is a serious
matter to the owners of cotton, who baviDg paid
for the bale according to its original weight, find
themselves losers to the amount of from five to
thirty pounds per bale—a considerable loss.
We hope this matter will receive the early at
tention of our police. and that a blow will be
struck at the “head and front of the offending,”
such as will effectually put s stop to these bold
theifing operations. .. .
American Hotels.
St. Louis can now boast- of possessing two of
the largest and most elegant hotels on tbe Ame
rican continent, the Lindell Hotel and the
Southern Hotel, the Utter a new edifice, which
has just been opened by Messrs. Laveille, Warner
& Co., is really « magnificent structure, sis stories
high,' built of magnesiari limestone from the
quarries at Athens, HI. As a perfect specimen of
the Anglo-Itaiian architecture, of which order tbe
main portion of tbe building is constructed, it is
unsurpassed in this country. In durability,
beauty of finish, oomfort, elegance and recherche
taste, there is perfect harmony between the inte
rior and exterior. The furnishing of the nouse
from cellar to attic, is of the richest description,
while the drawing, reading, waiting and dining
apartments are Insurious in the extreme, and
gorgeous enough in their appointments to suit the
most fastidious Parisian taste. We'commend the
, house to those'of onr citizens who intend visiting
St. Louis as a first class hotel, where courteous
proprietors and olerks will render a tarry at the
“Southern" as pleasant as a visit can be made.
We have no objection to the Jacksonville
Herald copying aerbatim ad literatim original
articles from our paper, but we prefer, if they
are honest enough to give credit for such ex
tracts, that they should not credit our news
paragraphs to tbe Savannah Herald. It is
< merely a little pride and selfish interest in the
success of our sheet that leads us to mention
this error, which we presume was unintention
al on the part of our worthy and enterprising
Florida cotemporary. , ‘Palmam qui meriut

The WKA.THBB.—Quite an.agreeable change has
taken place hi the weather daring the last forty -
eight hours, caused, no doubt, by a much needed
and acceptable shower of rain, which fell on
Monday night. We hope the heated term is now
over, and that we may enjoy a continuance of
pleasant weather so much necessary to the com

{Candidates for the Convention.
It will be seen by reference to a communica

the names of E. C. Anderson, Thos. M. Nor

candidates for the Convention. We under
stand that the Union men will shortly present
three candidates for the Convention.

merchants and others who have shipments to
make dry river to Augusta and points beyond, to
the advertisement of steamer Oak, which leaves
this day for Augusta, irom Ferry Wharf, under
Gas House Hill, at 6 p. m. This line has lately
been established at heavy expense by the owners,
and giving as it does quick and sure traasporta-
tion, entitles it to encouragement from the pub
lic. CoL Presdee, the agent, though lately come
among us, has by his urbane and polite manner
and good business qualities, won universal re
gard. As to Capt. Marshall, he is too well known
for his good qualities, not only as a steamboat
man, bat as a business man and gentleman, to
need further comment at onr hands.

Thaddeus Stevens, member of Congress fmm
Pennsylvania delivered a speech in Lancaster,
Pa, September 6, on the policy of reconstruction,
from which we make the following extracts:
The South Threw Off Its Allegiance.
Four years-.-of- -bloody and expensive war,
waged against tbe United States by eleven States,
under a government called the “Confederate
States of America,” to whioh they acknowledged
allegiance, have overthrown jll governments
witnin those States whioh coaid be acknowledged
as legitimate by the Union. Tbe armies of the
Confederate States having been conquered and
subdued, and their territory possessed by the
United States, it becomes necessary to establish
-governments therein, which shall be repnblioan
in form and principles, and form a “more per
fect uaioa" with tbe parent government It is
desirable that suoh a oourse should be pursued as
to exclude trout these governments every vestige
of human bondage, and render tbe same forever
impossible in this nation; and to take care that no
prinoiples of self destruction shall be incorpora
ted therein. In effeoting this, it is to be hoped
that no provision of the constitution will be in
fringed, ami no principle of the law of nations
disregarded. Especially must we take care that
in rebuking this unjust and treasonable war the
authorities of the Union shall indulge in no acts
of usurpatiop which may tend to jtppair the sta
bility and permanency of the nation. Within
these limitations we hold it to be the duty of the
government to inflict condign punishment on the
rebel belligerents, and so weaken their hands that
they can never again endanger the Union, and
so reform their municipal institutions as to
make them republican in spirit as well as in
name.
What Should be Dove with the South.
We especially insist that the property of the
chief rebels should be seized and appropriated to
the pay graft 1 °f the national debt, caused by the
uDjust’and wicked war wbjcj} they Instigated.
How can sS.oh punishments ibe inflicted and
such forfeitnres produced without doing violence
to established principles? Two positions have
baen suggested: , - -
Fir si—To treat those States as never having
been out of the Union bgoagge the constitution
forbids secession, and therefore a fact forbid
den by law coolft not exist.
Second—To accept the position in whioh they'
placed themselves as severed from the Union—an
independent government de facto and ah alien
enemy, to be dealt with according to the laws
of war.
The Crime of Treason.
The crime of treason pap be committed only
where the person is actually or potentially pres
ent Jefferson David sitting in j&ienmond, coun
selling, or advising, or commanding an inroad
into Pennsylvania, has committed no overt act in
this State, and can be tried, if anywhere, only in
the Richmond district. The doetrineof construc
tive presence and constructive treason will never,
I hope, pollute our statutes or judicial decisions.
Select an impartial jnry from Virginia, and it is
obvious no conviction oould be had. Possibly a
jury might be packed to convict; but that wou’d
not he an “impartial” jury. It would he judicial
murder, and would rank in infamy with the trial
of Lord Bussell, except only that the one was,the
murder of an innocent man, the other of a trai
tor. The same difficulties would exist in attempt
ing forfei'nres, which oan only follow conviction
in States protected by the constitution, and then
it is said only for the life of the malefactor —
Congress can pass no ‘‘fiill of attainder."
How to Begin Reconstruction.
What right has any one to direct a convention
to be held in a sovereign State of this Union, to
amend its constitution and. prescribe the qualill
cations of yoters? . The sovereign power of the
nation is lodged in Congress, yet where is the
warrant in the constitution for sucu soverei
power, tench less the Executive, to intermeddle
with the domestic institutions of a State, mould
its laws and regalate tbe elective franchise ? It
would be rank, dangeroustund deplorable usurpa
tion. In reconstruction, therefore, no reform
asn be effected in the- Southern States if they
have never-left the Union. Bat reformation must
be effected: the foundation of their institutions,
political,' municipal, and social must be
broken up and relaid, or all cur blood and
treasure have been spent in vain. This can only
be done by treating and bolding them as a con
quered people. Then all icings which we oan de
sire to do tollow with logical and legitimate au
thority. As conquered territory Congress would
have full power to legislate for them; for the
Territories are not under the constitution except
so far as the express power to govern them is
given to Congress. They would be held in
territorial condition until they are fit to form
State constitutions, republican in foot, not in
form only, and ask admission into the Union as
new States. If Congress approve of their con
stitutions, sod think they have done works meet
for repentanoe, they would be admitted as new
States. If their constitutions are not approved of
they would be sent back, until they have become
wise enough so to purge their old laws as to erad
icate every despotic and tevolutionary principle
—until they shell have learned to venerate the
Declaration of 1 ndependence. I do not touch on
thequestion of negro suffrage. If in the Union
the States have long ago regulated that, and for
the central government to interfere with it would
be mischievous impertinenoe. If they are to be
admitted as new States, they must form their own
constitution, and no enabling act could dictate
its terms. Congress could prescribe the qualifi
cations of voters while a Territory, or when pro
ceeding to call a convention to form a State
government. That is the extent of the power of
Congress over the elective franchise, whether in a
territorial or State condition. The President has
not even this or any other power to meddle in the
subject, except by advice to Congress—and then
on Territories. Congress, to bo sure, has some
sort of compulsory power by refusing the States
admission until they shall have oomplied with
its wishes upon this subject. Whether those who
have fought onr battles should all be allowed to
vote, or only those of a paler hue, I leave to be
discussed in the future, when Congress oan take
legitimate eogpizanee of it. There are about 6,-
000,000 of freedmeo in the South, The number of
aeres of land is 465,000,000. Of this those who
own above 200 acres each number about 70,000
persons, holding in tbe aggregate—togetherwith
the States—about 394,000,000 aeres, leaving for
all tbe others below 200 each about 71,000.000
acres. By thus forfeiting the estates of the lead
ing rebels the government would have 394,000,-
000 of acres, beside their own property, and yet
uine tenths of the people would remain untouched.
Divide this land into oonvenient farms. Give, if
you please, forty aorea to eaeh adult male freed-
man. Suppose there are 1,000,000 of them. That
would require 40,000,000 of acres, which deduel-
ed from 394,000,000, leaves 354,000,000 of aeres
for sale. Divide it into soltable farms, and sell it
ta the highest bidders. I think it, inolading
town property, woald average at least $10 per
aere. That would produce $3,540,000,000. Let
that be applied ae follows, to wit:
1. Invest 300,000,000 in six per cent govern*
mont bonds, and add the interest semi-annually
to the pension of those who hare beoome entitled
by this villainous war.
2. Appropriate $200,000,000 to pay the dam
age done to loyal men, North and South, by the
waVkAlltAfi - *
Four hundred and seventy millions to be
raised by taxation ! Our present heavy taxes
will in ordinary years, produce but little more
than half that sura. Oan our people bear
double their present taxation ? He who un
necessarily causes it- will be accursed from
generation to generation. It is fashionable to
belittle our public debt, lest tbe people should
become alarmed, and political parties should
suffer. I have never found it wise to deceive
tbe people. They can always be trusted with
the truth. Capitalists will not be affected ; for
they cannot be deceived. Confide in the peo
ple, and yon will avoid repudiation. Deceive
them, and lead them into faU>e measures, and
you may produce it.
We pity the poor Englishman, whose nation
al d4bt and burdensome taxation we have
beard deplored from our childhood. The debt
of Great Britain is just about as much as ours
($4,000,000,000,) four billions. But in effect
it is but half as large ; it bears but three per
cent interest. The current year the Chauecllor
of the Exchequer tells us the interest was
$131,806,990. Ours, when all shall bo funded,
will be nearly doable. The plan we have pro
posed would pay at least three-fourths of our
debt The balance could be managed with our
present taxation.
Who Has Killed Slavery.
While I hear it said everywhere that slavery is
dead, I cannot learn who killed it. No thought
ful man has pretended that Lincoln’s proclama
tion, so noble in sentiment, liberated a single
slave. It expressly excluded from its operation
all those within our lines. No slave within any
part of the rebel States in our possession, or in
Tennessee, but odIj those beyond our limits and
beyond our power were declured free. So Gener
al Smith conquered Canada by a proclamation!
Tbe President did not pretend to abrogate the
slave laws of any of the States. “Restoration,”
therefore, will leave the'‘Union as it was”—a
hideous idea. I am aware that a very able and
patriotic gentleman, and learned historian, Mr.
Bancroft, naB attempted to place their freedom on
different grounds He says, what is nndoubted-
ly true, that the proclamation of freedom did not
free a slave. But he liberates them on feudal
principles. Under the feudal system, when a
king conquered his enemy, be parceled oat his
lanus and conquered subjects among his chief re
tainers ; the lands and serfs were held on condi
tion of feafty and rendering military service
when required. If the sobordinafe chief rebell
ed be broke the condition on whicn he held
them, and tbe lands and serfs became forfeited to
the lqrd paramount. But it did Dot free the serfs.
They, with the manors, were bestowed bn other
favorites. - But the analogy fails in another im
portant respect. The e merican slaveholder does
not hold by virtue of any grant from any lord
paramount—least of all by a grant from the gen
eral government. Slavery exists by no law of
the Union, bat simply by local laws—by the laws
of the States. Rebellion against the national au
thority is a breach of no condition of their tenurei
Jt were more analogous to say tjjat rebellion
against a State under whose laws they held
might work a forfeiture. But rebellion against
neither government would per se have any euch
effect. On whom would the lord paramount
again bestow the slaves ? Tbe theory is piausi
ble, but has no solid foundation.
f‘Restoration" the Seed of Rebellion.
The President says to the rebel States, “Be
fore you can participate in tbe government you
must abolish slavery and reform your election
laws.” That is the command of a conqueror.—
That is reconstruction, not restoration—recon
struction, too, by assuming the powers of Con
gress. This theory will lead to melancholy re
sults. Nor can the constitutional amendment
abolishing slavery ever he ratified by three-
fourths of the States, if they are States to be
counted. Bogus conventions of those States may
vote for it; But no convention honestly and fair
ly elected will ever do it. The frauds will not
permanently aval. The cause of liberty must
reston a firmer basis. Counterfeit governments,
like the Virginia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Missis
sippi and Arkansas pretences, will be disregard
ed by the sober sense of tbe people, by future
law, and by the courts. “Restoration” is re
planting the seeds of rebellion, which within the
next quarter of a century will germinate and
produce the same bloody' strife which has inst
ended.
The South Should be a Republic of Toil.
If the South is ever to be made a safe re
public, let her lands be cultivated by the toil
of the owners, or the free labor of intelligent
citizens. This must be done even though ji
drive her nobility into exile. If they go, all
the better. It will be hard to persuade the
owner of ten thousand acres of land, #vho
drives a coach and four, that he is not degraded
-by sitting at the same table, or in tbe same
pew, with the embrowned and hard-handed
farmer wlpo has himself pnltiyated bps owp
thriving homestead of one hundred and fifty
acres. This subdivision of the lands will
yield ten bales of cotton to one that is made
now, and he who produced it will own it and
feel himself a man.
Troop* to be Entirely With
drawn from the South,
Reorganization of the Southern
States onihe, Basis, of Civil
' Government.
Washington, Sept. 13, 1865.
j Troops to ■ be Entirely Withdrawn from the
• South. >15 ?
It is understood here that it is contemplated
j by the President to entirely withdraw the troops
) from the South, in a short time, leaving the
, States lately in rebellion to reorganize on the
i basis of civil government, precisely as they
j stood before the late war, with the exception of
! slavery. This polioy is said to have arisen
' through the good sense of tbe leading Southern
i men themselves, in accepting the present posi
tion of affairs, as disclosed in the interview be
tween President Johnson and a considerable de-
S utation of their leading men, at tbe White
[onse, the other day Thus, the late States will
have hardly a soldier left among them, save such
as may be required to garrison the several forts ;
and these, as in the Northern States, will be re
tained in active service only for the purpose of
meeting any emergency that may arise from the
action of foreign Pqw?r«-
9 The Wirz Trial.
Major General Wilson, the commander of
central Georgia, testified to-day in the Win
trial. He disposed of Wire’s plea that Capt.
Noyes, of bis staff, had provided the latter
with special protection. The protection al
luded to it seems simply protected Wirz from
violence while in transitu to Washington. Gen.
Wilson testified in addition that it was special
ly understood that Wirz was not to be ini
eluded in the henefifs qf tfie Sherman-John-
ston amnesty. The prisoner Wire seemed in
a little better condition to-day, though he
does not look as though he would live through
the trial.

soon be withdrawn from Virginia, and the

of the militia, the same as in the case of Mis

The Blair Family.
It is far easier and more beneficial to exile
70,000 proud, bloated and defiant rebels than
to expatriate 4,000,000 of laborers, natives to
the soil and loyal to the government. This
latter scheme was a favorite plan of the Blairs,
with which they had for a while inoculated
our late sainted President. Bat a single ex
periment made him discard jt and his advisers.
Since I have mentioned the Blairs, I may say
a word more of these persistent apologists of
the South. For, when the virus of slavery has
once entered the veins of the slaveholder, no
subsequent effort seems capable of wholly
eradicating it. They are a family of consider
able power, some merit, of admirable audacity
and execrable selfishness. With impetuous
alacrity they seize the White House, and hold
possession of it, as ;n the late administration,
until shaken off by the overpowering force of
public indignation. Their pernicious counsel
had well nigh defeated the re-election of Abra
ham Lincoln ; and if it should prevail with the
present administration, pure and patriotic as
President Jomison is admitted to be, it will
render him the most unpopular Executive—
save one—that ever occupied the Presidential
chair. But there is no fear of that. He will
soon say, as Mr. Lincoln did, ‘‘Your time has
come!”
All De/tends on Congress,
Is this great conquest to be in vain ? That
will depend upon the virtue and intelligence of
tbe next Congress. To Congress alone be
longs the power of reconstruction—of giving
law to the vanquished. This is expressly de
cided by the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Dorr case, 7th Howard, 42. The
Court say, “Under this article of the constitu
tion (the 4th) it rests with Congress to decide
whrt government is the established one in
State; for the United Slates guarantees to
each E republican form of government,’’ &c.
But we know bow difficult it is for a majority
of Congress to overcome preconceived opinions.
Besides, before Congress meets, things will
be so inaugurated—precipitated—it will be still
more difficult to cortect. If a majority ol Con
gress can be fonnd wise and firm enough to
declare the Confederate States • conquered
enemy, reconstruction will be easy and legiti
mate, and the friends of freedom will long
rule in the councils of tbe nation. If restora-
tiooqirevails the prospect is gloomy, and “new
lords will make new laws.” The Union party
will be overwhelmed. The copperhead party
has become extinct with secession. But with
secession it will revive. Under “restoration”
every rebel State will send rebels to Congress,
and they, with their allies in the North, will
control Congress, and will occupy the White
Honsa Then restoration of laws and ancient
constitutions will be sure to follotf, our public
debt will be repudiated, or the rebel national
debt will be added to ours, and the peopbe be
crushed beneath heavy burdens.
Rebels to Pay the Debt,
Let us forget all parties and build on the broad
platform of '‘reconstructing” the government out
of the conquered territory converted into new and
free States and admitted into the Union by the
sovereign power of Congress, with another plank
—“The property of the rebels shall pay onr
national debt, and indemnify freeduen and loyal
sufferers, end that under no oircumstanoee will we
suffer the national debt to be repi dinted, or the
interest scaled below the contract rates; nor per
mit nny part of the rebel debt to bo assumed by
the nation.”
Young Men must do the Work.
Let all who approve of the prinoiples rally with
us Let all others go with eopperhoadi au<l reb
els. Those will be the opposing parties. Yeung
this duty devolves on you, Would t«
HIS APPROACHING TRIAL.
Washington, Sept. 12, 1865.
It has heretofore been stated that Jeff.
Davis will be tried before a civil tribunal
for treason—probably before;-the United
States Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia. Nothing additional has trans
pired on that subject since the annonnee-
ment was made. It is a mistake to sup
pose that Chief Justice Chase has any
thing to do with} the preliminary ar
rangements any more than he has with
the preparation of cases for adjudication
before the Suprme Court of fhe United
States. Nor has he expressed, as has
been stated, a desire to try the case of
fhp TJnite4 States against Jefferson Da
vis, hut he will try that, as he will all
others which may come before him in the
usual course of business.
