All good men will condemn the cxi . crcise of a spirit of proscription, or the imposition by local authorities or legislation, of any political disabilities, ‘ beyond the exceptions made in the amnesty proclamation, upon any cit izens of the States which adhered to. tli,c Confederate cause. Proscription, on account of the past will find but few supporters in any of the States— The disposition of nine-tenths of the people is to let the past be forgotten, and the few who imagine themselves holier than any body else, will consti* tute a minority so insignificant in strength, in Georgia at least, that they will find themselves the proscribed ones, and that beyond redemption. In Tennessee, while military rule prevailed and controlled elections, a packed legislature was chosen which, acting under the advice of Brownlow, passed a disfranchising law. And the result in the estimate in which the leg islature is held at home, and the pr* feet such legislation has had upon the progress of the Stale, is thus stated by the Nashville ‘Gazette: The General Assembly of Tennes’ see stands rebuked on all in words only, but by deeds. It will scarcely be contended by any one, that Virginia has been.less rebellious than Tennessee, yet the work of reconstruc tion is more forward- and promising there than here. Gov. Pierpont has lately culled together the Union Leg* islature, who, in a Session of five days., have repealed the disfranchising act passed at Alexandria during the war, and adjourned. This repeal admits to suffrage -all who will take the Presp , dent’s oath of amnesty ; that is nearly every body in the State*. ‘. . We do not believe there is auy dan ger of a Georgia Legislature, making the same error as did the Legislatures of Virginia and Tennessee —the for-, inerof which has. already yepented, • and the latter will do so'as soon'as the voiee of the people can be. heard.— But one meeting in this State has de clared for. proscription,; which was in the formation: of a Union club in Lib erty County.
