The 'liuies
It wnu’d j uzzle the most astute pol
itieiun to keep such u record of the
times in which vve live, as might l»o
truthfully called a history of the
American Nation. It is, really, a ques
tion whether such a nati n exists.—
Hut we deem it a public duty—and it
is most a suredly our desire—lo -do
v hat we can through the columns of
our Journal in a : d of the great object
■of the restorat’on of our Republic to .
her former status. In the quetionsj
which have of late disturbed the pub
lic mind ia this sccti >n creating un
necessary prejudices, and calling forth
unbecoming and hurtful abuse of per
sons whose ideas suggested action
which was considered by the masses
pn mature, we have taken no part
whatever, —anticipate g what has now
taken place, and knowing that action
on our part, before it did take place—
whether that action be in conformity
to Radical w ill or no--would not in
the least change the final result.
The qutsiion was, once, whether or
not the negro should v te in the South.
Trie question now is whether the whit’
man shall voto. The question of call
ing a convention ha« been taken out of
our hands by Congress The Conven
tion lias been provided for. And, in
fact there cannot be many questions to
divide on in tire convention—tor Con
gress has indirectly laid down a plan
< f action for it. For i xcept its action
please Congress, it will be a nulli'y.
A Convention will certainly be held
ly somebody in Georgia—a State Con
st tution will certainly be framed by
someb dy These things —if the sound
ingot the last trump is delayed a suf
ficient 1 ngth of time—are inevitable.
Although hundreds of our best and
most experienced Legislators ere de
nied the light of participation in this
reorganization ; yet the great mass of
the people are left free to act; and the
question cun now present itself in.but
one form, viz: Wil we vote with the
negroes, participate in, and control vir
tua'ly the Convention—frame a c nsti
tution that will protect our local rights
and save us from the condition of Ten
nessee, under the dangerous l u'o of
Had.cal fanaticism—and thereby open
up a charnel through which vve may
a'least hope tint time will finally
bring complete restoration, and place
every citizen in possession of the inale
anab'e rights of an American citizen?
Or, will we allow a blinded j#ejudi>e
to prevent our voting or participate p
now, in order that our negroes may be
led by those dangerous emissaries now
known a “loyal Southerners/' to frame
6uch a Constitution as will preclude
the pos ibility of our partioipati n in
politics in future ?
Since the former is the onlv ration
al course in our power, let us pursue
it with all our might. Although Presi
dent Johnson has vetoed the action of
Congress bringing about this state of
thi igs; it is nevertheless tho law of
the land, in his estimation, and he has
ex, ressed iiis determination tq carry it
cut to the letter.
A Senator in Congress, only last
Monday expressed the belief that Hud
ical Senators could be secured from
every Southern State except Virginia.
Now their only hope of accomplishing
this end will be the inaction of those
who are yet left free to act. We see
a writer in the negro papier at Augus
ta recommends Old SaDdy Murray,
wno has bees a piutrified 6oro in our
jvo’ilical body ever elnce the springmg
of the questions which led to the dis
solution of the Union; for one ot our
representatives from Georgia. Will
ar.v man in the Slate sufler her to be
disgraced by such men, when he could
prevent it? Ce.tainly not.
Then let us see to it that men are
sent to (he Convention and to Congress
afterwards, who represent the true
sentiments of the peopile. And in vot
ing let us drive away g’oom with the
inspiring hope that our loved old Get r
gia will, ere long, take her place, nc t
only as the Empire Sta e of the South
but ae tbs brightest star in theconste 1 -
l»tion o! State Sovereignties.
Fbost and Ice at Columbus — The
Enquirer < f the 19th says : Un Sun
day morning last there was ice and a
thin frozen crust on lately ploughed
ground—we saw both ; and on Mon
day morning there was a heavy white
frost. No doubt some of the fruit
was killed, and more of it injured—
but we still hope there will be a suffi
ciency of the early-blooming frut, such
ns preaches and plums. It is hardly
probable that tho apple crop has yet
been much injured. All tender garden

mc-rlv our slaves, tho public policy
during the peri, and of tbiir slavery forbid

i deepest ignorance and unfit to cxeiciae
intelligently and wisely the piivdege
e nferred upin th’m without the as
i sistanco o’ the more intelligent class of
white people whese [revious participa
tiuDs in and conduct of the afi iire of tbc
the State renders them peculiarly appro
priate advisers of theso black people
I There seems says the Chronic'c & Sen
tinel, to be an ilea in the minds cf the
colored people that their former in s’ers
and friends are opposod to their exercis
ing the right of votiug and that they will
place ob.-taclos in their way to prevent
their full and Leo or j lymcnt of this
high privilege. We belitvo that the
colored peoplo whd entertain this view
are seriously mbtikeo. The South
ern people are tot disposed to even
question their right to vote under the
Sherman Bill. I is true, that a large
majority of our people think this Mid*
den enfraLchisem nt of the colored poo*
pie, without previous preparations, was
unwise ; but, with tho exception of a
few, and they of a certain class which
do not now nor never did Lave a great
deal of influence, the Southern whites
arc not only wiiliDg but are anxious that
the colored people should be fully and
amply protected anl secured in their
right to vote. We can see no reason
why thirc should not be perfect harmo
ny and concert of action between the
two classes. They understand each olh.
cr—their r, spcctive peculiarities and
their pr ejudices—and are, therefore,
better prepared to bear with patience
and charity those little ccceutricities of
manner and habit which exists to a cer
tain extent in the ranks of toth classes.
But the main reason why there
should be no conflict between them is
to be found iu the fact that they are
mutually dependent upon each other,
each in Lis own Bphcre, for success in
tho various departments of trade and bu
siness. One class owns the land, the
other furnishes tho bone and muscle
which al me gives value to that laud
and enables both to reap from its bo
som the neccsary productions for the
support of animai life, and secure the
comforts and luxuries which spring from
the cultivation of the soil. If the white
peoplo refuse to give the colored people
employment, loss ami suffering will be
entriled cn botb. So if tho colored
people decline to 6ervc and labor Hr the
whit s, then both classes will likewise
suffer. 1 hey are mutually dependent
upon each other, and neither can pros
per wh.le the other is dej r s ed.
'J h s being true as to tboir materiaj
can there be any good reason
wby they should not co-operate in the !
the higher and nobler work cf giving j
laws to and shaping tho institutions of
the country. In this,*both classes are
interested in the same way, and to the
same ex’ent. Roth classes desire that
law and order should pacvail, and that
ihe Government sh<uld bo so conducted
as to afford full and equal protection to
all Cuu this bo better secured than by
the hearty co-operation of all those, of
each class, who are to be affected by the
opperation, ts that Government ? We
;hiuk not.
We have been induced to make
the above reflections, by reading the ac
count of the late meeting in Co!unibia j
iu which the two races came together
in fiiendship and good will and temper
atdy discussed the great question of the
day. Former master and slave met side
by side on a platform of political equal
ity, and pledged each other that as they
had been friends in the pa6t, they would
continue to he friends iu tbe future
This exhibition of good-will and frater- (
nity between the white and o dored peo.
pie of Columbia should encourage us to
hope that the same feeling exists in this
(ommunity, and that if a fair expression
of tho public sentiment could bo obtain- j
cd it would show the same feeling of
warmest friendship. Would it not be j
well to have a meeting of tbe white and
and colored people of this city, to consult j
together for the pulio weal ? Let the
coloied people hear from rur leading
citizens the edinntion in which they
arc held Will not Govcnor J.ihnsoD, i
Judge Starnes, Judge Gibson and oth
ers of our most distinguished citizens:
meet the colored people and give them
their views upon the prerent sta'us of
affairs? We believe that such a meet-!

| our colored people and be productive
of much g. od. Who will move in tbe

VETO OF TIIESMTEEMEA.
T,ll. DILL.
Washington, March 23.—Tbe Pres
blent today returned lo Congress the
Supplemental Military bill with his ob
j actions.
Tbe President says: The bill pro
videß for ele itions in ten States for the
pnrjmse of making constitutions for
the same, bu: all the elections, while
the original bill remains in force, must
eorne within its restrictions. Pr.lin i
nary to the elections cominiss'or.ers of
registration are to bo appointed, and
unregi tered persons will not be allow
ed to vote. IVelimin-ry to reg'stra
ti >n, a vague oath that tho applicant
I has not been dbfrancliised by pirtici
pntion in the rebellious is required
The af plicant for registration must de
cidu this quo tion for himself. This is
a f arfui responsibility, for though the
bill does not assign perjury nor fix
penalties for mistaken swearing, one
must not forget that martial law pre
vails, and that the affiant is responsi
i ble to a military commission without
previous presentments by a grand ju
ry. The military commander deter
m’nes what is an offense, and pre
scribes the purrshmeut
Tbe fourth section provides that the
military commanders shall appoint tho
necessary boards of registration, each
to consist of three loyal persons, who
may be military officers, citizens of tho
State, or strangers. These boards, ex
ercieing important functions and inves
ted with unlimited discretion, decide
questions and mako returns, and what
ever errors or frauds may be commit
ted are to pa«s unquestioned.
By such measures the conventions
of delegates are to bo constituted, and
these delegates are to speak for the
people. Common justice requires that
they should have authority from the
people, but no convention, so constitu
ted, will in any sense, represent the
wishes of tho people, for, under all the
embracing exceptions and the uncer
tainty wlTch tbe disfranchising clause
leaves open, tho groat body of the peo
ple may be excluded from the polls.

Duty to tiotl Before Peace to
tlic Country.
Many courses arc pointed out f r the
people to pursue the S uth
iu her depressed and almost hopeless
condition—in order that peace and pros
perity may bo restored. Ia my esti
nia’ios, none is so eligible as that which
points to God and a returning to right
eousness This may be deemed by some
as easy and cffec'ua], but the history of
the Isralites and Jewish nation, (which
is given in tho word of God) as well as
the history of man generel!y,go to show
that this is a great wo»k, a bard task—
till man is lightened and sufficiently
humbled. A man canQOt be penitent
for a wrong, until he can sec it—with
out a rule by which we know right from
w rong, we cannot see wrong—there is
no sin implied where there is no law
yet a violation of law is sin. Thus then
wc are convicted of sin or wrong, when
we take our acts to the law, and they
do not measure up to the demands of
the law, but when we try oar acts by
an arbitrament of our minds, we are
often not convicted of sin, tb' ugh the
wrong has been committed. TLis is irue
with the best of men. Witness the case
of David in killing Uriah, and Peter in
denying Christ. Therefore in exhorting
the nation to be humble, repent, and
turn to God, let us exhort the people
to bring their acts to the law of God,
aud try them by that law It is
not enough for us to say, God has
suffered the war with all its consequent
evils to come upon us to humble us>
and that we should repent and be hum
ble ; or to 6ay the love of money is the
root of all evil ; (and that we manifest
tho same love or thirst for money as we
did before the war or the impending
evils now over us.) I say this io not
enough, for who can be persauded tbat
it is wrong to strive, even impetuously, !
after money, aod then use tbat money '
ai be pleases, it being his own, unless '
hi can seo wherein God has required
otherwise of him Rut when he can see
tbat G>d has required of man, that he
should love God with all the soul , mind
and strenylh, and bis neighbor as himsel/,
and feel the force of that requisition,
then he may see bis wrong and repent,
for what rational man docs not know,
that if the heart and soul is full of the
love of money, there is no room for tho
love of God or his neighbor. Hence we
do not render to God what is due to
Him in worship, repentance and humil
ity ; nor our neighbor what is due lo !
him, ia foibearance, relief, aud comfort.
Rut on the other hand, let the soul and
heart be full of tbe love of God, and
there is no room for the love of money.
WitDcss the case cf the first Christians
in the kingdom of Christ. We do not
hear that they were either commanded
or exhorted to sell what they had, and
distribute equally to the poor and all
alike—how then came tLis novel act,
so contrary to the common couse of
man ? Doubtless it was because their
hearts w.refull of the love of God, that
t a r red out the love of money* This is
precisely wbat Christ required of the
young man who went away sorrowful:
preferring bis lave for money to treas
ure iu Heaven. TLeicf .ro when we ex
hort men to iulu-try and economy in
tb'.ir domestic affiir.», aud in their in
tercourse in tho w rid, to put away
pompus show, aid all superfluity cf
haughtiness in dress etc., iu.d they sty
what then shall wo do with the money ?
Answer; tike the example of tho early
Christians, let the love of money out of
the heart, and the love of Christ iD
(that love of Christ was even unto suf
fering, scoffing, scurging unto death for
poor sinL ers) aod then looa round and
you will behold the thousand cases of
poor w idows and orphans, whose suffer
ings perhaps have been augmented four
fold, by the calami ous effects of the
war. And who knows but these cases
of suffering iuDocence, so universally
through every neighborhood iu the land
a»e in some way, a test of our obe
dience to God.
And who c»d say, if the minds of ihe
people, as the heart of one man, were
turned to tbe relief of this state of suf
fering, that before tLis relief was fully
given, peaoe, prosperity and harmony
would not be restored to the nation. It
would be proof that the love of God,
was in the heart; it would be evidence
of the Spirit of God, producing in us
love to our neighbor—evidence of gen
tlencs., goodness, long-suffering, faith,
meekness and temperance ; and joy and
peace, the fruit. Against suoh there is
no law, and consequently no suffering of
condemnation. Let us acknowledge
God’s supreme right to rule; and that
no act, however great or small, can take
plane without coming uuder his cupcr
vision, aud by his perinUsiuD. God is
the same yesterday, to-day, and forever,
of ono mind, and who can turn him ?
plenteous in mercy, and of long forbear,
ance, forgiving sins and upholding the
weak. It does not become us, there
fore, who put our trust in him, to labor
under slavish fear for if God be for us
who can be against us, to prevail over
us. He who parted the waves of the
Red sea, and drove her raging billows
back, and made a passage through it for
Israel to pa-s through dry shod, and
overthrew Pharaoh and his host for pre
suming to go through tho passage God
had made for bis people—lie who de
livered G diah into tbe hands of David,
an 1 who delivered Israel from the mighty
host of tbe enemy by tho Land of
Jonathan and his armor bearer, can save
Ui —liis hand is net Wcak.neJ, his arm
it no 1 shortened, even to-day it ig Al
mighty Omnipotent to deliver, though
in an unseen way. TLer. lore let us
submit to Him, trusting in his mercies
It may be He will look ou our afll cti ,ns
aud his wrath turn from us ; with u>
his mercies the nation is doomed, and
to what extent we cannot tell, the wis
dom of min and the power Os min are
not sufficient for the crisis—lot jis feel ;

Washington, Mareh 12, 1867 j
Dbab Sir :—Your letter of the Bth
iust., has been received. The hill you
referred lo was passed in the earnest
hope tiiat it will tend to the full restora
tion of all the States to all their rights
in the Uuion. The sixth section 1
think too harsh; but it was put in in the
House as tbc result of opposition from
both extremes. At tbe r< quest of large
numbers from ihe South, we are pacing
a supplementary act to provide machin
ery of reconstruction. The original bill
left all this to each State, bnt there was
danger of double organization and
conventions, and therefore, to avoid
further strife or difference, this new act
will be pss-ed. It is merely a scaffold
ing.
My earnest conviction is, that the
South should not forego this opportuni
ty to be restored to representation ; and
you may rely upon it, that a majority
in botb houses will adhere to this offer,
and execute it in good faith, aud to the
letter, if your people will do likewise.
Neither section cjd be prosperous while
tbe present condition of military sur
veilance prevails.
You can Io as you please with this.
Very truly yours,
John Sherman.
Tiie Indian War.—The New York
Herald’s special, says the expedition
against the hostile Indians of Kansas
and Nebraska, under command of Major
General Hancock, is fully ovuipped and

Gen. Hancock orders all trains to be

to the train iu*o one or more companies
No trains are to fcc allowed to pass into

W be never an attack iB made by Indians

should »‘k it with her e stern boundary
