THE FRBBDMAlf AS A PLANTATION
LABORER*
Ah intelligent planter in South-western
Georgia, gives us the experience of himself
and neighbors in nn article to l>o found on
cur first page. It is not very cheering, though
we would fain hope «hnt the conduct of tlio
freed men generally has been different.
The question propounded by mu- cm respon
dent is a very serious one. The difficulties
stiteil arc not so much the fault of the Frood-
men's Bureau, or other authorities that by
law have cognizance of the present relations
between master and servant. They are in
herent in the policy of emancipation, which
was a great wrong both to the commercial
world and to the negro himself. It grows
out of the delegation of complete control of
labor to n race that by nature is indolent and
imptovident, lias not tbe intelligence to. ap
preciate legal obligation, nor the moral sense
to conform to its requirements. A sense of
honor, respect for the laws, duty to liis fnni
ily, till combine to inspire the white man
with motives to labor faithfully. All these
are wonting in the negro, as a class. They
are averse to labor and indifferent to the con
sequences of idleness and crime.
It is with such a population that the South
under the new order of things, lias to deal os
the tillers of tlio soil, and upon whom she
now depends for the successful conduct of
that vast industrial interest, Agriculture.—
It is her chief calling, and everything
depends upon its successful prosecution.
We confess that the prospect is not cliccr
ing. Whilo a smnll proportion of the freed
men ore reasonable and industrious, thegreat
body of them have not the slightest conccp
tion oftbe responsibilities that devolve nj>on
them in their new relation. Nor will laws be
of muoh benefit to them so long os they arc
framed upon the palpably erroneous theory
that the same rules of government aro appli
cable alike to the white and black races, and
that social order can exist where one-half of
the community lias not the intellectual and
moral sense to regard laws that command im
plicit respect and obedience fro the other half.
Here we have a radical error in our system,
and wo may blunder and worry along for a
time, bat instead of disappearing the diffi
culty will only increase in magnitude. Free
from the moral restraints of slavery, his own
ignorant race substituted for the whites as his
teachers of religion, ‘-lord of himself, that
heritage of woe,” instead of being elevat
ed, he must necessarily descend in the
•calo of civilization. As nn evidence of this,
even in the incipient stage of freedom, it is
only necessary to look at our county jails,
which, throughout tho State, are crowded to
suffocation with black offenders against the
law of inrum and tuum, and indeed for nearly
every crime embraced in the criminal code.
Execute tho law, and in two years from this
dato ten such penitentiaries as wc have will
not bo sufficient to hold the offenders. Wc
wish it wore otherwise, for we feel a real so
licitude for the unfortunate blacks, who have
been given the boon of freedom apparently
for their own destruction.
To the planter there is but one remedy for
this state of things—a total change in his
system of labor from black to wliitc. Wc
have more than once in these colnmns ex
horted tho negroes to industry, sobriety,
fidelity, and their former masters to kindness
and forliearance; and wc still think that in
justice to our former slaves, and in view of
their weaknesses, wc should try them long
and patiently before casting them off and
consigning them to certain perdition. But |

NEW YORK MARET.
New York, April 18.— The cotton market
A Radical Republican Paper on tiic Tria
of Jefferson Davis—His Discharge
Asked For.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.]
Arbitrary imprisonment may be justifiable
in war. but with the end of the war it should
cease. The President abandoned all inten
tion of holding Jefferson Davis to penalties
for the war when lie .decided not to execute
them by military means. To hold tho leader
of a belligerent power, which 1ms had.half a
million of men in the field, and has maintain
ed public debt for four year?, and has settled
it by a treaty between the two armies, to
trial by jury,"is simply absurd. And when
this triai must by law be bold among his ad
herents, and the jury selected from them, the
apparent absurdity bears the appearance of
method. • ,
Those fearful declarations of the monstrous
nature of treason, and of the severe penalties
that were now geing to be executed, that
traitors might be punished and treason made
infamous, with which the public mind was
diverted for a month alter the assassination
of Mr. Lincoln, harp now dwindled to the
demand that Jefferson Davis should be tried
for treason* by a Virginia jury, to settle the
matter beyond all peradventure that no State
has the right to secede; with the alternative
that if the jury should fail to convict him,
fh« nation would be convicted of the guilt of
a million of murders and of all the devasta
tion of the laadj in reacting the rights oftbe
States.
This absurdity has served its purpose, and
it is time it were exploded. Mr. Davis could
not be convicted by a Virginia jury, selected
according to law. And even if he could be,
wc maintain that the leader in a great war,
which took on all the characters and condi
tions of a public war, is not, a subject for
jury trial. And this Government, after
maintaining its rights of existence by a four
year’s war. cannot put its right to do 60 on
trial by a jury of its late enemies, or any
otber man. The intention to execute justice
on him was abandoned by the refusal- to do
it by rights which the war called into exis
tence. Tliis was the more marked from the
fact that, St the time he was taken, private
assassins, whose case belonged to the courts
of law, and could be safely loft to them, were
hurried through a military trial and execu
tion.
The intervention of a Virginia jury would
bo aitpply a subterfuge for responsibility.—
Having announced liis intention not to pro
ceed in the proper manner to administer the
penalties of war, tbe President has no right
to bold Mr. Davis in perpetual imprisonment.
The responsibility is wholly on him, and can
not be shifted to anybody else.

GEORGIA BAPTIST STATE CON
VENTION.
This body will convene in tliis city on Fri
day next, and will be composed of the lead
ing Baptists of the State, and will embrace
most of its most distinguished ministers. It
is also expected that a few prominent minis
ters from other States will be present.
The Georgia Baptist Convention has not
met since its session in Atlanta in 1804, for,
though appointed to meet Inst April in Co
lumbus, tho meeting did not occur, owing to
tho near approach of Gen. Wilson anil his
army; and the disturbances of thcjtimes have
prevented any convention prior to tho pre
sent time.
The coming session was called by Rev. P
IJ. Mell, D.D., President of the Convention;
and Macon was appointed by him as the place
of meeting, by authority vested in him.
The nominations for the Columbus meet
ing hold good for this, namely: the Introduc
tory Sermon, to bo preached by Rev. B. F.
Thorp, of Perry, Ga., whoso alternate is Rev.
II. C. Hornndy, of Atlanta. Rev. J. R. Ken
drick, of Madison, Ga., was appointed to
preach the Educational sermon; hut as he has
removed to the city of New York, this duty
devolves upon liis alternate, Rev. H. H.
Tucker, of Atlanta, Editor of the Christian
Index and S. W. Baptist.
It is thought that one hundred or two
hundred delegates will be present, and m the
entertainment of tho Convention is assumed
by tlie Baptist Church of this city, it is hoped
that the citizens will, in this matter, render
such courtesies ns tlicir well known hospital
ity leads us to expect.
This is the first Baptist Convention of any
size that will have occurred since the surren
der, and its deliverances will be looked upon
with interest. But the meeting of the
Southern Baptist Contention to be held at
Russell ville, Ky., on tho 22nd of May, will be
regarded as still more significant; for it will
portray the feelings and sentiments of the
great body of Southern Baptists; while this
Convention will indicate the sentiments of
■ Georgia Baptists alone.
We hope to have the proceedings of the
Convention reported for the Daily Telegraph.

Apprehended Trouble on the Fishing
> Grounds.
A BRITISH WAR VESSEL TO BE STATIONED OX
THE COAST.
This present St Patrick’s Day will also be
remarkable for unetber event which might
itself breed a quarrel no less troublesome
than a Fenian outbreak in Ireland or a Fe
nian invasion of Canada. To-day the recip
rocity treaty between tho United States and
British America comes to an end. For the
sake of both countries, which it so much
benefited during the six years which inter
vened between its adoption" and the outbreak
ofj tho American war, wc regret that the
United States Government have thought fit
to abrogntc it. But every nation is the best
judge of its own affairs, and if the govern
ment of "Washington is of opinion that tbe
changed financial condition of the States re
quire that their commercial relations should
be revised, wc have no right to complain.—
It is fair, however, to remind the Americans
that the termination of the treaty is their
work, not oure, and that if any differences
arise wc have done qur best to prevent them.
Now. one of the rights which the Americans
possess under the treaty is that of fishing in
British waters. The coast of British North
America is one of the finest fishing grounds
in the world, and it will bo in tbe memory of
our readers how long and bitter were the dis
sensions between tlie adventurous New Eng
landers, who were continually trespassing,
and the jealous Nova Scotians and Newfound
landers. who were as constantly driving them
off. Thu reciprocity treaty put an end to
these disputes by giving tbe American fish
ermen tho right to come into our waters in
return for a much less valuable concession on
their part and for twelve years they have
followed their calling in peace. But now
their rights come to an end. These people,
who have been accustomed for so many years
to a certain fishing ground, and who, proba
bly, have confe to look upon it as their own,
must now bo content to retire, or come into
collision with tlie Canadian authorities. Wc
believe a vessel ot war will be placed on the
coast, for the purpose of seeing that the rights
which revert to the British crown arc not in
fringed, and also to prevent collisions be-,
tween tho fishermen of the provinces and of 1
tlie United States. Tho American fishermen
wilTbe "duly warned, and after a fixed time
the exclusion of their boats will be enforced.
We trust they will understand that tho restric
tion is caused by the act of their own Gov
ernment, and that if they suffer, their griev
ances con only be removed at Washington.—
Whenever the States think fit to conclude
another treaty, American fishermen will re
cover their former rights. It is a difficult i
matter to regulate, and may lead to many a
quarrel; but in this, as well as to all that re
lates to Fenianism, there is reason to be
lieve that wc may count on the friendliness
and courtesy of President Johnson’s Govern
ment. If it were not so we should look upon
the consequences of tbe chqnge as likely to
be troublesome, if not dangerous. _ |
