Jfirarnal & |sltss(ftp. 8. Rose «& 8. B. Burr, PROPRIETORS. MACON, GEORGIA: Saturday, July Bth, 18(5. ~CORNING EDITION. ADVERTISERS . Will do well-to avail themselves of our large size Sunday’s issue, and bring in their favors early. “ The New Era,” is the name of anew paper just started at Atlanta, by Messrs. Phillips & Prather. The number before us is intellectually and mechanically excel lent. We are pleased to notice in it a prac tical contribution from our old friend, J.R. Barrick. The proprietors have our best wishes for their success. ■■■■ »♦« Bank op the State of Georgia. —The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 6th, says: We are assured by a gentleman who is thoroughly posted, that the Bank of the State of Georgia has coin enough on hand to redeem all its issue at twenty cents on the dollar in coin. A DRY SPELL. Wc regret to learn that, in some sections of the State there has been a long dry spell, and that corn, which promised fair some time •ince, is nos burning up. This condition of things is not general, but we fear that the drouth is sufficiently extensive to inflict a great amount of suffering. W e saw, our self, a few days since, fruit completely shriv elled up on the trees from excessive dry and hot weather. I*ooo FOB THE GOOSE IS FOOD FOR THE GANDER. The New York Herald, commenting upon the radicalism of Massachusetts politicians, as demonstrated in a late meeting at Faneuil Hall, Boston, says : “The duty of President’Johnson is plain. He has no other ultimatum but to arrest the whole party engaged in utteriDg disloyal sentiments in the Faneuil Hall meeting, for stirring up and inciting insurrection. They were, by their own showing, inoitiog mutiny among the emancipated slaves, and trying to secure the united hostility of the colored race to our military authorities. They are thus attempting to bring another element in to prolong the contest and add to its present complications a war of races. It is clearly the duty of the President to arrest these disunionists and incarcerate them in Fortress • Monroe in cells alongside of Jeff. Davis. The people demand this much of Mr. John son before their insurrection programme assumes more formidable proportions.'’ Certainly we think the Herald is right. If these New England fanatios had been dealt with as they deserve years ago—say about the time they proposed to do, what the South has since done, secede from the Uuion, —the late terrible war, with its con comitant evils, would have been avoided. !i here seems to be an ingrained hatred of Southern men and institutions in the hearts ot these fanatical New Eoglanders, which will not be appeased by anything short of a St. Domingo massacree. They regret the termination of a war, which has cost them comparatively little physically or financially, because it has failed to glut their rage against the South, and they would to-day, if in their power, cast the Union a victim upon the altar of their unholy passions. Such * men are the worst kind of traitors—traitors to God, to country and to humanity, and deserve, if treason is to be punished, at least as severe treatment as any Southern man now in arrest for treason. We trust the conservative good sense of the North and West will put a stop to the influence of these fanatical destruetionists, or that the Government will take them in hand. If they meditate treason, as their acts imply, feed them oil the same food which they would urge upon Jefferson Davis and other promi nent Southern men. If it proves healthy for the one party, it should do so for the other. No Wonder !—lt is hardly to be won dered at that the fanatics of Massachusetts should go for negro equality, negro suf frage, etc., when their own white men are so effeminate as to usurp the employment of women. While the men of other North ern States were fighting the battles of Mas sachusetts, we suppose the fellow spoken of below was employed in trimming bon nets! Wo clip the paragraph from the Nashville Union: “ Our ladies will hardly believe that a large number of their fine hats and bonnets are trimmed by males, but such is Hie fact. In one of the largest fashionable millinery stores in Newburyport, Massachusetts, a man is regularly employed to make and trim bonnets.” A Timely Donation. —We are pleased to learn that by direction of Gen. Wins low, the Post Quartermaster, Capt. Clarke, turned over a day or two since, to our city authonties, nineteen mules and five wagons and harness. This is a timely and considerate gift, and will aid the city au *tborities to have much necessary labor performed conducive to the comfort, clean liness and health of our city. Atlanta Intelligencer. The Sanitary Fair at Chicago has closed, the receipts being about $325,000 The fair was open nearly four weeks. [For the Daily Journal and MesseDger. J President Jolinaon* There is a wonderful chain of events connected with Andrew Johnson. The most singular feature in his career is, that each successive step has been of itself a marked event. He was for a long time a Representative in Congress. The Whig party greatly desired bis defeat, but it could not be accomplished at the ballot box. The Whigs run in the majority in the Legislature when the State wap to be re districted, and his District was so Ranged as to make his election impossible.' Gen. Gustavus A. Henry, recently Confederate States Senator, was supposed to be the prime mover in making the change. It excluded Johnson from Congress. He ap pealed to the people, and they .made him Governor. He had the satisfaction of knowing, that the man who had legislated him out of Congress, became his van quished competitor for Governor. John son’s course was steadily onward and up ward. He is now President, and Gen. Henry must trust to his clemency for par don. It is not a little remarkable, that the very men who disliked him most in former times, are now petitioning him for mercy. He never had as strong a hold upon party “leaders” as had most men. Unlike others, he never negotiates with the people through the “leaders;” he goes directly to the peo ple themselves, and herein is found one secret of his success. Andrew Johnson's popular star is this : The sovereignty of the people. During a politicial career, extending from the mechan ic’s shop to the White House, by day or by night, in office or out of it, publicly or privately, he has unswervingly endeavored to promote what he believed to be the best interest of the people. In other and better days, the writer of this article knew him well; and he must be thus known, to duly appreciate a strong point in his character — he is in earnest. There is with him, a liv ing, acting earnestness that no other public man, within my knowledge, has with his en ergy, devotion to principle, talent and in dustry, he was born to the Presidency. I am profoundly impressed with the belief, that Andrew Johnson will ineffectually im press his geuius upon the institutions of his country. Prepared in the sohool of the past, his work is still before him. Let no man doubt that in the future, as in the past, he will steadily, fixedly and constantly, keep his eye upon what be thinks is the interest of the great body of the people. Four years have elapsed since I saw him, and changes have occurred—he is President and I am proscribed and penny less—>tftill he is unchanged. I watit the people of the South to realize that he ie deeply in earnest. Enough has transpired to satisfy me that what his friend purpose is this: To evolve from the present state of affairs the greatest possible good for the people North and South. In doing this he assumes the abrogation of slavery. Our duty is plain. We must give up the past, accept the present, and cordially aid the President in the future. The Southern man who fails in either of these, is an ene my to himself. Exile.

They are taken up principally with speeches made at the public reception to Lieut.-Gov ernor Welles. The Governor, in the course of his address took the most unequivocal ground against negro suffrage. - He warn ed the people that every effort would be made by the Radicals to prevent the re turn of power to the Conservatives of the South. He wanted to know if, “ after hav ing taken this continent from the red man, and holding it for more than a century, they were going to be so charitable as to turn it over to the negro ?” — N. Y.

If Ne* England be really resolfecf upon subverting the States and the rights of the States —beginning in the matter of suffrage —we do nofc*see why we of Jtfew York should say “No.”' The Constitution of the United States —the Federal Govjrnment —th? Sen ate of the United States, are very hard and harsh upon the Empire State, and very anti* Democratic — wed if New England be belt upon a'lhMge/ao be it. This is a Government now of 35 States— of which, it takes some 12 or 15 of the les ser ones to make a New York—and yet New York has only two Senators in Congress, while these 15 States have 30 Senators in Congress. Now, the Senate of the United States is the great power of this Govern ment. It monopolizes the making of Treat ies, the ratification of Executive appoint ments, the judicial part of the impeaching power—indeed, the President himself is only a recond rater, in comparison with the Sen ate. Two Senators from little, tiny, tit-mouse Rhode Island, are as potentates in the United States Senate, as the two potentates from the nearly four millions r f New York. Why we have more people under our side walks than live in Rhode Island, We have a thousand to one in our attic heaveu to every single Rhode Islander on the ground. Thus, as subterraneans and certainly, to say nothing of terrestrials, we eclipse this little, tiny Rhode Island, thousands and tens of thousands, and yet the Titmouse is as tall in the Senate as the Giant. Lilliputian there is as big as Brobdignag. Now, nothing can Ido more anti-Demo cratic, or scarcely so little Republican, as all this. Then, there is the Supreme Court of the United States, which makes and unmakes acts of Congress or acts of Presidents, and which can make and unmake States. This body consists of but ten men, and these ten men are not created according to po pulation hut according to (presumed) merit. And why should not New York have her proportion of the ten ? Then, the President of the United States is elected by the Electoral College, and this College is so created that New England has twelve electoral votes to New York’s (Senatorial) two! What can be more anti- DenlOtfratrc ?* And next, if the President of the United States is not elected by this Electoral Col lege, the States, in the' House of Repre sentatives, elect him—and in this vote Rhode Island has just as much of the vote as New York. ; Then again, the President may be, and sometimes is, (as President Lincoln was the first time,) eleeted President by a large mi nority. of the people. What is more anti- Democratic ? ’ The fact is, there are a great many things in the Constitution that may be changed, and when Massachusetts men shuffle, why not shuffle with her ? Then, in a Constitutional Convention, we ean consolidate New England into one State, and give the Western States their proper influence in the Senate. If this is to be a consolidated Government, New York, the Empire State, has a right to at least thirteen Senators in Congress— the of her population—and two Judgea(of the Supreme Court of the United States—a sixth part, too, of the Foreign Ministers andConsulates, and of ‘the spoils' generally—say two Cabinet Ministers all the time, or nearly all the time. The Revolutionists of Boston, who are now again seeking to subvert this Govern ment, but little comprehend the job they have on hand, if we once begin. • To ob tain the negro suffrage victory they are now struggling for, at the expense of-the States of the South, will cost them, if we adopt their principles of Government, the suppression of their own State. THE DEVICES OF CUNNING. The negro suffrage agitation, which starts in Boston, under the high, auspices of a Professor of Cambridge University, means not only “negro,” but “ white man,” too. It is very remarkable that a set of oligarchs and aristocrats, who hold white men in such supreme contempt, that they would not, if they could help it, let an Irishman or a German vote, or a Jew, or a Cathie—in short, anything but a Puritan, fall all of 'a sudden so dearly in love with “ universal suffrage,” that they would embrace the ne gro ! Indeed, if these men could have their way, no American born white man would be permitted to vote who was not a man of property, while to the negro would be con fided the freest sort of suffrage—such as they would certainly refuse, if they could, to aIL poor whites. Now why is this ? The answer is obvi ous. The war, with the consequent abo lition of slavery, has done away with the old political issues, and re-raised new ones —such as Tariffs, Protection, Currency, Finance, Taxation, &c. Hence, to keep from 50 to 100 per cent, protection upon capital, and to be able to inflate the cur rency at will, in order to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer, we have from Boston and the surrounding country, this new agitation of negro suffrage, the only real, steady purpose besg to absorb all other important white man’s matters in this overwhelming agitation. While we agitate on negroes, it is reasoned there, “ nothing can be said or done against pro tection.” “ While we talk of suffrage, specie payments can never come, and we can go on inflating the currency and our capital.” Thus, all this negro agitation, continued now that slavery is abolished, is but the device of cunning to throw dust into the eyes of the people, as more and more the people are to be plundered by the devices of capital.—A r . Y. Exprm. ,■ Change of Laborers at the South* Richmond families are employing white girls from the North and from Ireland, in their kitchens, and white men as porters, driver#* iflid the like. A correspondent of the Atlanta Intelligencer says: They were, at first, driven to this from necessity. The freed negroes were at first hired in these capacities. But they proved so indolent, so unreliable, so untrustworthy that the whole system ol domestic life was brought to a stand still.. The cook would put on the dinner to and then would run out to the street and jabber and gossip with the negro soldiers lounging about, or with other _ Iblaeks while the dinner - was ; arfd then at night feet a dozen of her particular friends with what had been provided by the master of the house for the consumption of the family on the following day. The negro men em ployed, would neglect their duties in a manner that brought even greater loss on their employers; and when remonstrated, with, men and women alike left their em ployers without a moment’s warning, after making to them the most insolent speeches. The latter now find that there are plenty of German and Irish men and girls, willing to work for fair wages, whf are respectful in their demeanor, honest, industrious, punctual and trustworthy. These they have employed to a great extent; and the prac tice is extending, not throughout the State of Virginia alone, but all over the South. The press of New Orleans are said to have taken a unanimous and decided stand in favor of white labor. Frauds upon United Stale* Treasury Notes* From the July number of “ Peterson’s Philadelphia Counterfeit Detector,” we ex tract the following important information concerning frauds upon U. S. Treasury notes and bonds: 2s, imitation, are reported in circulation. Poorly done. 55,-altered from ljs. Portrait of Chase. ss, imitation. Poorly done; coarse. ss, photographed —have a blurred look; the paper is stiffer and heavier. Signatures very heavy. .. 10s, imitation, well executed, are report ed in circulation.

In genuine it is above. 100s. imitation. The only points of ac tual difference between the genuine and counterfeits are these: In the upper left corner are the words “Act of February 25th, 1862. In the counterfeit the “th” and the ornamental lines above, run into and touch the border; in the genuine there is a dear space between. Ou the right end of back of note there are thirteen small ovals; on the edge of each oval the figures in the bad read oqj, or inverted, while on the left they are 100. This is the reverse of those figures in the genuine; there, it will be seen that on the right hand they read 100, and on the left ooi- These notes are well executed. Postage Currency—2s cents, imitation poorly engraved and on poor paper. 50 cents, imitation—poorly done. The heads of Washington are blurred and are not alike. 5 cents and 10 cents, imitation, poorly printed. 50s, Hew issue, are now in circulation. Observe caution. The portrait on each coarsely done. Coupons—Counterfeit coupons, dated Mafoh 1,1865, for $12.50, in the similitude of 10.40 five per cent. United States SSOO bonds, have been offered at different United States depositories. 7 30 Bonds—Some of these are in circu lation with the coupons cut off, and are offer ed as currency. Without coupons they are of no value until mature. Refuse all such. Labor Compensation. A correspondent of the Atlanta Intelli gericer, makes the following suggestions upon the system of compensation for freed men labor: » 1. When the crop is gathered, let there be laid up in store as much of provisions and provender as was consumed in making the new crop; so that the status of the plantation may be preserved. 2. Let plantation expenses be paid, such as taxes, bills for salt, iron, leather, shoes, hats, clothing, blankets, smith-work, medi cine, and medical attention. 3. Let the remainder of the produce, which constitutes the only profits, be equita big divided between the proprietor and the laborers. 4. Let the laborers receive half as much of the present crop as they would have been entitled to, had they been free the Ist of July. 5. Let the profits accruing to the laborers be divided among them, directly according to their industry, skill, and faithfulness; and inversely according to the size of their families. 6. The system should ho explained to the negroes, and the agreement reduced to writing. 7. It should also .be understood what pro portion of the laborers’ profits eaoh one of them should receive. A Sensible Order. Capt. J. E. Bryant, Assistant Commis sioner Freedman’s Bureau, at Augusta, is sued the following very Sensible order, in anticipation of a rush of negroes to that city on occasion of the 4th of July celebration. \ye wonder if they had sense enough to profit by his advice : Office Ass’t Com’r. Freed men, \ Augusta, Ga., July Ist, 1865. } To the Freedmen of Upper Georgia and South Carolina : I am informed that you intend to visit this city on the 4th day of July next. I advise you to remain at your work. Noth* ing will transpire in this city of sufficient importance to cause you to leave your work. If you can, you must bring food, for no pro vision will be made to feed you and you must leave the city on the sth of this month- I call upon all good citizens to assist in advising the colored people not to come to this city on the 4th. But at the same time no force must be used to prevent them from coming if they eo desire. J. E.
