©eornti
Hon. W. E.. Niblack, M. C., will accept our
thank* for a number of interesting public
documents. ' 1
The Omt. Rioirrs Act.—"We published
this iniquitous measure immediately after its
first passage by Congress, but as it seems to
have caeaped the notice of man£ of our sub
scriber*, it is again introduced in our columns.
Loxo Way too Many.—In referring to
the reunion of the Jews in Charleston, some
davs ago,’the compositor made ns say they
bad bye» divided into ‘•ten*’ societies, when
we had written two. He must have been
thinking of the “Ten Tribes.”
• «gr The home of Lincoln ha* endorsed
President Johnson. Springfield (III.) town
ship has gone democratic for the first time
in four years. On the 8d inst., the entire
conservative ticket was triumphantly elected
by from one hundred and forty to two hun
dred majority.
jgyThe Newnan Herald publishes in due
form the application to the Ordinary for Let
ters of Administration by a colored man on
the estate of a deceased friend. This is prob
ably the first instance of the kind, and is nc
cording to the recent law. Will our North
ern friends make a note of it.
Not Truk.—The Tallahassee Sentinel con
tradicts the published statement that an “ex
rebel Congressman” from that State had left
the Federal capital after ineffectual efforts to
procure a pardon. The Sentinel says none of
tho members of the Confederate Congress
from that State have left it since the surren
der.
A Real Estate Bank in. Nortii Caro
lina.—In the absence of specie, those finanJ
ciers in North Carolina who desire a substan
tial basis of credit are agitating the question
of a real estate bank. It is proposed tliat
charter shall be secured from tho State
vention for a - “Land Loan Company,” w
stock of from ten to twenty millions 0* dol
lars, founded on real estate cstimuted^t gold
value. Tho Newborn and Raleigp papers
unite fq approving tho scheme.
‘•Richmond Medical Journal.”—Wo
commend this valuable work td the medical
profession in tho South. Iyis a monthly
pamphlet of some hundred and twenty-five
pages, aad as regards both matter and typo
grapliy is got up in a style that demonstrates
tjto ability of tho South to have a medical
literature of. her own. Let Southern physi
cians.patronize the “Journal.” It is publish
ed at Richmond, Va., at $5 per annum—E. S.
Gailliard, M. D., and W.S.McChesney,M.D.,
Editors and Publishers.
How Much it-Cost to Burt an Assassin
ated President.—Among the appropria
tions recently made by Congress and approv
ed l»y tlie President, wo find the following:
“For defraying tlie expenses incident to the
death and burial of Abraham Lincoln, $300,-
0f>G«!
“For the purchase of Ford’s Theatre, the
scene of the assassination, $100,000 ”
It will thus be seen that the death of Mr.
Lincoln coftt the public treasury the enormous
sum of 'four hundred .thousand dollar* ! It is
to bo hoped that no more Presidents will bo
assassinated. !
Chase on Scr.NMEn.-The Washington cor
respondent of tho Cincinnatti Commercial
(Republican) says:. “Mr. Chase .does not in
dorse Mr. Sumner, ho thinks him impractical
and that his course U accomplishing no good
to the race he seeks to serve; that be rouses
agnint them a united antagonism and ill-feel
ing; that- he is a domineering, intolerant
man; that Mr. Stevens is a better and more
practical man than Mr. Sumner; that Mr.
Sumner would lead to destruction any party
that followed him.”
Wo would be glad to know where a party
would he led to that followed Chase ?
Mexican Ladies at the Wnrre House.—
At a recent levee at the White nousc,
Scnor Romero, the Mexican Minister, escorted
the lady of President Juarez. She was at
tired in rich lavender silk, richly trimmed,
and long trail, with diAmonds. The Hon. L.
D. Campbell also had a Mexican lady on his
arm. She was attired in a blue silk, long
trail, and fluted trimmings around the bot
tom, with diamond pin. Mr. Lubentree, of
tho State Department, also escorted a Mexi
can lady, who attracted considerable atten
tion. The brunette countenances and well
formed features of these Montezuma ladies
furnished a contrast with the American ladies,
and made them the centre of attraction.
rROBABLK EARLY RELEASE OF MR.
DAVIS.
The whole Southern heart will rejoice at
the prospect that tlie term of imprisonment
and persecution of that noble spirit Jefferson
Davis, is about to ln> brought to an end; at-
least there is a general concurrence of opin
ion to that effect. The evidence that such
good news will greet our eyes at an early day,
may lie set forth as follows:
Mr. Davis can no longer bo lnwfully de
tained under military arrest without a trial,
the writ of habeas carpus having been revived.
Certain friends of Mr. Davis, in Virginia, w ere
making arrangements to give him tho benefit
of this writ, but we perceive that, after con
sultation, it has been agreed to abandon the
movement, for fear it might occasion some
embarrassment to the President.
The special correspondent of the N. Y.
Daily News telegraphs to that journal, that
“the President announced to his Cabinet on
Friday, that it was his intention to release
Mr. Davis from Fortress Monroe, upon his
parole that ho will not leave the country
without permission.”
The World’s correspondent telegraphs un
der the same date : “President Johnsbn has
been frequently importuned of late to release
Jeff. Davis on his parole. The President has
been waiting for Congress to take some action
with a view of making some provision for his
trial, ns suggested in his annual message, but
Congress does not seem disposed to do any
thing nbout it. If they do not, it is very
probable that the President will fcloase him
on his parole. Tlie Surgeon who hadebarge
of Davis for some timo after his arrest, has
been requested to make a report in regard
his conduct during the time lie had charge of
him. The present §urgeon has also been re
quested to make a report in his case. The
purpose of this has not yet transpired, but
to have something totfo'^sith hi*
ig these facts and representations to-
we think we may safely assume that
Mr. Davis will be set at liberty within the
next ten days.
MACON WATER WORKS—THE ELEC
TION TO-DAY.
Our citizens are called on to vote to-day
upon a project that deeply concerns not on
ly the safety and comfort of the city, but its
future prosperity. It is proposed to intro
duce into tho city, by means of a canal from
tbc Ocmulgce river,an ample supply of water
for all purposes, public and domestic, and at
the same time supplying a power gtliat Jwill
give impulse to a vast amount of machinery.
This is perfectly prafeticable; as has been fully
established by a scientific survey, and at
cost that will bo but a small consideration
compared with the benefits to result from tbe
work.
‘ For the purpose indicated, a company has
been formed, who design commencing their
canal at a pqint six miles above tho city, at
what is know as Healey’s Upper Fall, in the
vicinity of Judge LochranC’s plantation,
low dam at that point will give'a fall of 25 or
20 feet, and the supply of water being inex
liaustibie, the grandest results may be ac
complished. The estimated expense of the
canal and water works is $200,000. and it is
proposed that the city of Macon subscribe Vo
$50,000 of the stock. That is the question
to be decided by our citizens at the polls to
day, and wc hope there will be no hesitation
in giving a hearty assent to the proposition.
It is believed that tho remainder of the
amount required will be obtained without
serious difficulty.
At a future day, when we have the necessa
ry data at our command, wo shall return to
the subject and show its vast importance to
the future prosperity of our city.
The Civil Wbongs Bill—which is, ,says
the Nashville Union, at best, but a feeble dis
guise of clan legislation, will be decided ille
gal and unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court of the United States, and the Courts of
tbe country, North anti South. In less than
a week after its passage it will bo put to the
tegt—perhaps in Washington City itself—and
wo shall see how powerless it is to override
tbe conventionalisms of life and to force soeial
equality upon the people. Some one will
give a freedman money and instruct him to
register his name and demand a room at a
first-class hotel; the clerk at the ofiieo will
refuse him admission, and, perhaps, abuse
him; the negro will go away and sue, under
the (Sri 1 Wrongs Bill, and tho court in which
he brings bis suit will dismiss the case. The
bill is as oppressive upon tbe North, as its
practical operations will show, as upon the
Booth, and whenever the people understand
it, there will bo a terrible reaction in favor of
the President.
Foreign journals announce the demise
of the fattest man in the world. He was a
German named Herr Helon, and followed the
profession of translator for booksellers and
merchants. He was forty-two years of age
and weighed 500 pounds.
There are in the United States 37,000
churches, being one for every C4C of the en
tire population. The total value of church
property is $37,000,000. There are 27,000
clergymen, and accommodations in the church
edifices for 14,000,000 of hearers.
What a Lawful Senate would do.—Tlie
N. Y. World very justly says: The check on
Congress provided in the veto Ss nullified and
abolished by the exclusion of eleven States.
Had those States been represented, their Sen
ators would have voted to sustain the veto.
Add their’twcnty-lwo Senators to the fifteen
who did vote, and include Mr. Stockton,
who was expelled for party reasons, and Mr.
Dixon, who would hnvo voted had he not
known that Ms voto would bo of no avail, and
tlie veto would have stood thirty-three to
thirty-nine, instead of thirty-three to fifteen
In a full Senate, tho Republicans, so far
from being ablo to pass the bill over tbe veto,
could not have passed it at all. Tie veto has
, been overridden by a minority of those entitled
to vote on it. But it is as clear as anything
in the Constitution, that it was never intend
ed that a minority of the Senators should ex
ert this power. When authority was
to two-thirds to pass a bill over the veto, the j tlieoatfi
framer- meant two-thirds of those who chose 1 ■ ,T
to be pn-ent, of a Senate consisting of “two ' £5?" A thorough cleaning of every house
6Senators from each State.” We have no con-! « S*v Orleans has been ordered by the Mny-
, c or of that citv, in anticipation of the chole-
Ititutional Senate when a minority of the Sen-1 r
Mors can thwart the veto.
Important Decison.
The following case, which came off at the
April term of Sumter Superior Court, before
his honor, Alex M. Speer, will bo read with
unusual interest Tlie points deckled, are
such as to effect thousands of 6ur citizens;
and gives, on that account a prominence to
this decision, beyond that which usually at
taches to a decision of the Circuit Courts.—
We understand that the case will go np to
the Supreme Courts:
James W. Armstrong va. Columbus W.
Hand—Complaint on notes for values of
three negroes, sold in-1800. Plea, failure of
consideration, and breach of covenant, etc.
In Sumter Superior Court, April term,
1886, Col. Joseph Armstrong the plaintiff,
Messrs. Atkins and McKay for defendants.
The facts nrc briefly these: Armstrong,
plaintiff, on tlie 9th of January, 1800 sold
three negroes the defendants, x for a given
sum, and took their notes for the same, and
now sues upon these notes. Plaintiff war
ranted titles, that they were slaves for life.
The defendants plead failure of considera
tion and breach of covenant of warranty, by
the abolition of slavery.
Tho Court held tho covenant only ■warrant
ed the title and status of the slaves, as the
law then stood, and that tho acts of Govern
ment abolishing slavery, repealed tho cove
nant. The plaintift was, therefore, entitled
to recover the note sued upon.—Journal and
Messenger, 13fA
Important Military Order.—The Lou
isville Courier of yesterday &ays:
We understand that an order lias been is
sued from the War Department, which or
ders* tbe muster out of all military organiza
tions excepting the regular army, before the
first day of May. This will relievo tho Gov
ernment of a great burthen of expense which
it can til afford to bear.
A Contrast.—James E. English, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor of Connecti
cut, was fifty votes nlieatl of his ticket in New
Haven, his place of residence. General Haw
ley, tho Radical candidate, was a hundred
anil forty votes behind his ticket in Hartford,
which is his place of residence.

FROM NEW BRUNSWICK.
New Y<rk, April 11.—A dispatch says
the Government members of the New Bruns
wick Parliament have tendered their resigna
tions. A member ofthe opposition has been
chosen by the Governor to form a new Gov
ernment. He is expected to send in his reply
to the resignations soon.
We propose to speak first of the Freedmen.
It is not necessary that wc should state that
there is as great a diffei cnce among the indi
viduals of tho black race as there is between
the individuals of the Cancossinn race, as it
is apparent to every one who lias given tlie
subject the slightest attention. Tlie most in
telligent class of negroes afe beginning to
realize their situation ; arc beginning to com
prehend tho revelation made to Adam after
his transgression, “ By the sweat of thy brow
shalt thou eat bread.” They have gone to
work and nrc working steadily and patiently,
but not with that energy that characterizes
tho white race.
This class was recognized before their eman
cipation as good servants, and they are good
servants still—freedom has not turned their
heads. They command as good wages as
white men working in tlie same vocation.—
But there is another class, recognized every-
wliire ns thoughtless, improvident, and indo
lent, who imagine that freedom furnishes
food and raiment without tffort on their
part—many of these are vicious also, and
will require a very rigid course of pupilage to
render them law-abiding persons.
This Is a duty peculiarly ours, to teach
them in kindness the meaning of the words,
“Freedom” and “Liberty.” They have not
yet learned that freedom does not mean idle
ness, and “liberty” staring at strangers impu
dently. By instructions kindly given on
these subjects, this class Would be much more
benditted,than they ver will, by all the book
learning that they will ever get from all “mis
sionary school mann9” that will ever be sent
South. We do not speak disparagingly, nor
would wc cast a stumbling block in the way
of what they regard as a great work of be
nevolence and charity, but we know that they
do not understand negro character, and ure,
therefore, not the most competent teachers
for them.
Thi9 is one of the points in which the
Freedmen’s Bureau is greatly at lault. It
has been taken for granted that the Only
thing requisite to procure a faithful discharge'
of labor by the ireedman, was to guarantee
ample compensation to him for his services.
The agents of the bureau generally are not
aware of the fact that at least one-half the
negroes are naturally vagrants, even under
the most stringent regulations of tlie law.—
As an evidence of this statement, or of the
further assertion that vagrancy is an inherent
principle in his character'we refer you to the
condit ion of the native African, among whom
the arts und sciences are still unknown, or to
the present degraded condition of those in
Jamaica.
Acting upon the erroneous impression,that
a guarantee of ample compensation for ser
vices rendered,‘will stimulate the negro to
pursue an industrious course of husbandry,
the Bureau has classed the negro by bone
and muscle, and set a price upon him based
upon this classification, and 'now demands
that the exhausted Southern planter shall
pay the price without reference to the value
of the lalior or its products, and that in
violation of tlie well known universal prin
ciple, that supply and demand regulate the
price of labor as well as commodities. It is
a brainless and senseless view of the matter,
as unjust to the planter as it is senseless in
the Bureau. It is. not necessary to tho ac
complislimcnt ot our object that the public
prints shall teem with the troubles, difficul
ties and wrongs ofthe planter. Yet it is not
known to every onfe, the extent to which idle
ness and theft are carried on here. A negro
may idle from one tenth to one fifth of his
time, to the great injury of the planting in
terest, and there is no meuns i>\ which we
can compel him to resume his labor. Re
monstrance is met with the reply from him
that lie is a free man and bus the right to do
us he pleases. Deducting the loss of time
from his wages, neither compels him to re
sume his labor nor relieves you ofthe damage
to your crop tor want of proper attention.'

officer of tlie United States Government.—
Here wc have the spectacle of a man of in
tegrity acting under the sanctity of an oath,
disregarded his deliberate judgement, set
aside and counted as nothing, and still re
tained in office without a charge being pre
ferred, or even a remonstrance against his
course. Or without giving tbe county agent
any reason for his disapproval of the con
tracts, except the general observation, “dis
approved on account of disregard of orders
issued from his office.”
This action of Gen. Tillson is in very full
kceiping, to sav the least of it, with tho fair
promises made to the members of the Con
vention, and will operate very injuriously,
both to the planter and the freedman. Does
Gen. Tillson price the labor 6f his poor white
brethren of tlie North, and his poor sister,
the factory girls ? Do any of them get half
the wages that ho says the Southern planters
shall pay the freedmen ? Do they get half
as much without the addition of quarters and
rations, as the Southern planter is now pay
ing, by those disaproved contracts, to tlie
freedmen? Would they teach the South
ern people liberality and benevolence ?
But let us return to the subject. We stated
that this disapproval would operate injuri
ously to all parties concerned. If the Bureau
attempts to force planters to increase the
wages they nave agreed to give, the result
will be that the freedmen will be paid off and
discharged atonce, which will result in loss
of time and wages to the freedmen, and crop

late for the negro to make a new contract,
clear up and plant some of the vacant frogs,
and produce a crop; and the planter would
not attempt to get other hands, so the loss
will be calamitous to some sections.

er of a feeble and temporary insurrection; lie
was the Representative of great ideas, and the
exponent of principles which stirred and con
solidated a numerous and intelligent people.
This people was not his dupe. They pursued
the course which they adopted of their own
free will, and lie did not draw them on, but
followed after them. It is for these reasons

punishment for the acta of his people. Thou
sands of prayers ascend to Heaven for his re
lief. We invoke tlie generous exercise of the
prerogative to pardon which tlie form and
principles of the Constitution offer as a bene
ficent instrument to a merciful executive.—
We ask the continuance of that career of
clemency which your Excellency has begun,
and which nlonc, wc earnestly believe, can
secure tlie true unity and tbc lasting
greatness of tho nation. Dispensing that
mercy which is inculcated by the example of
our Great Master on high, your name will be
transmitted to your countrymen as one of
the benefactors ot mankind. The Constitu
tion of our country, renewed and fortified by
your measures will once more extend its pro
tection over a contended and happy people,
founded, a3 it will be upon consent and affec
tion and
on his honor as a gentleman, that this pro
gramme would be carried out. Upon this
representation and assurance, many planters
determined, to employ the freedmen and make
the experiment ot the free-labor system with
the blacks; while others, who were not so
credulous, refused to make the experiment,
sold out their plantations, and changed their
business, many of them at just what they
could get, which, from present indications,
seems to be the wiser course.
Wc say from present indications, almost
daily we sec negroes strolling off in search of
tho Agent of the Bureau, to settle some tri
vial difficulty that has occurred between them
selves or families, the latter very frequently.
Time is thus lost, the Agent visits the place,
of corn and cotton, or other produce, that
was raised by him before lie was emancipa
ted. So far the agency of the Bureau inforc-
the freedmen to labor, is a nullity, and
no planter, now'has any faith in his bciag
made more industrious, even it lie was to*be
paid .double the amount that ho could pro
duce with every expense paid.
There is still another view of the' subject
that We wish to present. It is this: tlie Bu
reau was established by the Government un
der a benevolent impulse, immediately- after
freedom to the servant was proclaimed.
It was a proceeding rendered necessary at
the time by the change in tlie status of the
negro population. Prior to that time the
owner of tlie negro gave him that protection
that was not guaranteed by the laws of tlie
State; by the authority of the United States
this guardianship was annulled as well as the
vested rights of property in the negro. In
fact the laws of the Southern States did not
recognize the negro os a citizen, and could
not, consequently, protect him in tlie rights
and privileges conferred., upon him by tlie
United States Government. But since that
time the organic law of the States lias been
altered so as to provide ample protection to
him iu his rights of person and property.—
Hence the causes that gave rise to the crea
tion or establishment of the Bureau have
censed to exist, and the Bureau should also
punctually.cease to exist The civil authority
of the United States lias been re-establislicd'
over the States, and their now remains neither
obstacle nor Iiinderance to the negro’s seeking
redress for grievances betorc any of the courts
ot the State. Then there is no necessity for
the continuance of the Bureau; os Wc are con
vinced that the Government does not intend
to discriminate in favor of the, freedmen.—
Though if it must still be kept in existence,
in deference .to the- opinions of any one, let
us hope and wait patiently; bear, oiir ills
with that fortitude that becomes a braVe and
gallant people, in the wreck of our fortunes
aHtl our long, fondly cherished hopes;. our
manhood and honor still remain to ns untar
nished.
Then let us discharge cheerfully every duty
that devolves upon us towards the govern
ment, hoping that wc shall ere long have a
voice in the councils of the nation. It is not
necessary that wo should urge our people to
dischaige tlieir duty to their former servants;
wc have received much kindness at their
hands; even from childhood it is still remem
bered; we see that they even now seek their
former owners for.sympathy and counsel; we
feel that it is our duty to aid them in every
possible way that we can with the scanty
means left in our hands after providing for
the wants of our own helpless ones. Teach
them to realize tlieir new condition as soon
as possible, and they will become a better
people. • s -ii moiii I*

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
Important nnd Interesting Legal Decision.
Tlie Hon. George R. Clayton, of Missis-
iippi, Special Judge ofthe Gth Judicial Dis
trict, Mississippi, has delivered an opinion,
which we have before U3 in a copy of tlie
Columbus Sonthcm Sentinel, in which he
sustains tlie validity of tlie contracts made on
the basis of Confederate money. We liavo
read this opinion, and regret that we cannot
make room for it in this journal, our space
for reading matter being now so limited.—■
With judicial fearlessness and independence
Judge C. affirms in tbis decision that the
gallant men of the South were engaged
in a “civil war,” and are not to be
considered “ rebels and traitors. ” As
belligerents rights,” lie contends, had been
awarded the late Confederate Government, it
could issue script, or other representative of
money, to carry on the war which had been
levied, and that even if these were illegal
issues, contracts only which would be there
by invalidated, would be those which grew
out ofthe illegal issuing of such scrip, or other
representative of money. The case, we see it
stated, will go up to the high court of State,
and may thence be taken to tlie Supreme
Court of the United States. It is known as
calls up the parties and their witnesses, enters ^ c ^' of 5 ake & Cade John W. Perkins',

and is ready to renew the disturbance.
Now all of tbis loss of time and annoyance
tlie planter is forced to submit to, without
the hope of improvement under the present
system. Nearly all tlie planters in this sec
tion ofthe State, who retained tlieir planta
tions, (some rented them out), have employed
the freedmen at very liberal rates, giving
them, ns I have understood, from eight to
twelve dollars per month furnishing quarters
and rations, and allowing them to cultivate
vegetable patches, and giving the females
particularly, a half day every week or every
other week. Often getting out to work after
sun-rise, stopping two hours at noon and
stopping work at sun-set, the most of them
working at a laggard gait.

DRY GOODS.
Tha New York Journal ofCommerco ofthe 7Ui isst.
*ays: There has been a brisk demand for staple cotton
goods throughout the week, and also for printed drew
goods, holders hare had the market in their favor, and
hare thus secured an upward, turn in prices, amount
ing in some case* to a positive advance. Where^thii
improvement has been too positive, the trade his been
thereby checked, and there was generally a little lee?
buoyancy jufet at the close than was manifested at the
height of the business during the week. We notice al
so a continued activity in Fancy Cassimcres and men's
wear generally, but this has not led to any gain in val
ues, most of these sales having been the result of con
cession, and made at rates still lower than those hereto
fore quoted. The average decline in this class of stock
duriDg the last six weeks or two months is nearly fifty
cents per'yard- It is evident thai the enly wuy to help
these fabrics is to cut down rallies so as to increase the
consumption largely, for they are now in overstock all
over tlie uouutrj.
The New York Dry Goods Reporter says the advance
on cottoh goods has been ftilly le per yard for Printed

BROWN SHEETINGS AND SHIRTINGS.—The de-
m ind contiuued quite animated during the fore part ol
the week, particularly for heavy Sheetings, the stock
of which hav become much reduced. Favorite brands
especially have become very scarce, and jobbers im
prudently advanced prices to S8c for even At'antic sec
onds, but this had a tendency to check the demand
somewhat, and with a failing maiket for cotton no ma
terial improvement can be permanently sustained; so
jobbers had better bkek down at once from theirnotions
of rising prices, it they only give the people goods at
moderate profits, the manufacturers will do tha same,
and let them pass into consumption rapidly. The At
lantic A and tho Indian Head are scarce und wanted at
