A Washington letter to the Macon Telegraph
Buys "tin* attempt to have Jeirerson Davis tried
by a Military Court have been lately revived, and
are now being renewed with redoubled zeal.—
<ien. Butler, the Secretary ol War, and Senator
Howard of Michigan, are the chief actors in the
business, hut they are spurred on by the whole
tribe of blood thirsty radicals, with Thaddeus
Stevens at the head, and Charles Sumner at the
tail. What incites them to the savage work in
which they have engaged, in the certainty, now
admitted on all hands, that Mr. Davis can never
be convicted of treason in any civil court; and
that if such :i trial is much longer delayed, the
President may release hint without any trial at
all. The idea that their prey mtiy, by any possi
bility, slip through their lingers, is agony to them,
and they are moving heaven and eartli to induce
the President to recede from his determination
and convene a court, martial for the trial of the
rebel chief. Thus fur, the President Inis firmly
withstood the pressure that has been brought to
hear against him, and I believe he will continue
to do so to the end. *****
A remarkable scene took place in the House of
Representatives yesterday ufternoon while Mr
Kosscau was making the speech against the
Freed men’s Bureau, alluded to above. Mr. De
lano of Ohio interrupted him by sating that he
held the Southern States to lie as much in the
Union ;ts any other of the States, and then lie
electrified the House l>y declaring that he was
ready this moment to vote for the admission of
the members from both Tennessee and Arkansas.
This sentiment was unexpected, coming from a
Republican member, and in an instant every
Democratic member applauded it by a vigorous
clapping of hands, while the Republican mem
bers, with one or two exceptions, sat still, petri
fied with astonishment at this audacious declara
tion.
A Washington dispatch to the Associated
Press, says Fred. Douglass and other negro dele
gates had an interview with the President on the
7th ius!., for the purpose of securing to them
selves all civil and political rights, and particu
larly the right of suffrage.
The President referred them to his past con
duct us evidence of his friendship, but expressed
himself decidedly against giving them the right
of sulfrage, as likely to bring them in conflict
with the whites and produce a war of races.
Thu Macon Journal «fc Messenger says at
a meeting of the stockholders of the Southwest
ern Railroad Company, held yesterday at their
olllce in that city, the following gentlemen were
elected for the ensuing year:
President.—William S. Holt.
Directors.—William A. Black, John W. Ander
son, Timothy M. Furlow, John McNab, John E.
Jones, William M. Wadley, Virgil Powers.
A Hard Setence.—The Macon Telegraph
says the sentence of the Military Commission who
tried Mr. G. B. Lamar for cotton frauds, bribery,
etc., in Savannah, a few weeks ago, has not yet
boon made public, though we learn privately
that the judgment of the Commission was three
years imprisonment and $25,000 fine ! The Presi
dent has ordered Mr. Lamar to be released on
bail until lie eau get time to examine fully into
the evidence on which tikis severe sentence is
pronounced.
An exciting race lietween two locomotives
occurred recently at Newcastle, England.
The authorities received a telegram at the Cen
tral station, Newcastle, that engine No. 392 was
then tearing along the down line at tremendous
.speed without any one ujx>n it. R appears that
tin' engine was standing with a ballast train at
Durham, only the fireman being on it, the driver
standing on the ground near it. While thus
standing. No. 392 was run into by another en
gine. The shook detached the ballast engine
trom the train, threw open the regulator, and
pitched the fireman upon the ground. The re
sult of the regulator being open was that No. 392
came away at a gradually increasing rate of
sjH't'd. Meeting no impediment to its progress,
t tie engine ran on at a great pace. R is usual to
slacken speed in approaching and crossing Vic
toria Bridge, and when the engine came rushing
on with unchecked speed, the company’s servants
at Washington at once saw there was something
wrong. At this station an engine was standing,
the driver of which, Ralph Gilchrist, at onee de
tached his engine from the train, and followed
as fast tts he could. R was a long and exciting
race (the runaway going at the rate of sixty
miles tin hour), and Gilchrist only succeeded in
ranging up alongside of it. at Washhouse lane,
about half a mile outside of Gateshead. As soon
as this was effected, the fireman, John Baty,
jumjK'd trom his own engine on to No. 392, and
succeeded iu bringing it up, fortunately without
any damage l»eing done.
Election* by the Legislature. ! Bush. Byrd. Cook. CoUey. Dodson. Dozier, Ford. Hand, i The GovemoFt JKeMage I
The Constitution of the State requires that all ^ * U ** >
Reference to
elections by the General Assembly shall lx- made
viva tort—that is, as each memix-r's name is
called by the Secretary or the Clerk he shall pro
nounce for whom he votes—a most wise provi
sion in that instrument, as it not only enables the
constituent to know for whom his representative
voted in important, or even minor elections, but
the publication vhereol exposes duplicity, if prac
tised by any' one, while it exposes also any viola
tion of pledges made either to a confiding consti
tuency or to an individual candidate. What the
ballot secretes, the rim rare system exposes. The
weak and the deceptive may lx* made to sutler
in the estimation of their constituents, or of in
dividuals by the rica rare system of voting, but
the wise and honest will never be. For the for
mer we have no sympathy; to the latter we
would do justice. Hence we have thought proper
to have copied from the legislative records, the
votes given in all the elections made by the pre
sent General Assembly, which we commence
publishing to-day, and shall continue from day
to day to publish till we have chronicled them all

Executive Department, 1
Mill edge vile, Ga., Febnmiy 6, 1866. f
To the General Assembly :
AVith this communication, I transmit copies of
the proceedings of the stockholders of the Bank
of Augusta, the Augusta Insurance and Banking
i Company, the City Bank, and the Mechanics 5
Army Joke.—The following good one at the
expense of General J. B. Magruder is told by the
Natchez Democrat :
While retreating from the Peninsula in 1862,
the General and his staff stopped at the house of
a widow lady on the road and engaged dinner.—
It» a few moments Jim Phelps, a Louisiana sol
dier, accosted the lady with:
" Madame, can 1 get dinner?”
“ Yes, sir," was the answer, ‘‘but as I am pre
paring dinner for General Magrudet and start,
and have not room at my table lor anymore, you
will have to wait fora second table.”'
*'\ cry well, madame, thank j'ou,” said Phelps,
taking his scat in a position to command a view
of the dining room.
Watching the movements of the servants,
Phelps waited until the least was on the table,
and while the hostess proceeded to the parlor to
announce dinner to the General and staff, Phelps
entered the dinmg room, and seating himself at
Hu- table, waited further developments.
Upon the entrance of the party of officers there
was found to be seats for all but one, and one po-
litcly returned to the parlor to wait.
The General took a seat next to Phelps, and,
after the first course was finished, turning to
Phelps, lie inquired:
'Sir, have you auy idea with whom you are
dining?”
“No, sir,” coolly replied Phelps; “I used to be
particular, but since I turned soldier I don’t care
care a d—n who I eat with, so the victuals are
clean.”

Application or tlie Rawhide.
:V prominent city journal, generally supposed
to bo an especial admirer and champion of the
iews ot liev. Henry Ward Beecher, gives partic
ular prominence, in its largest type, to the follow
ing paragraph. The manner and place in which
it appears show that it was a labor of love on the
part of the editor:
Frederick Douglass, making a speech the other
evening in Brooklyn, was induced to consider
Bev. Henry Ward Beecher and some of his re
cent utterances affecting the rights of negroes.
“I do not find fault with Mr. Beecher, said
Fred, “though I do not always agree with him.
I remember that, not many years ago, he declar
ed that, if he could abolish slavery on the instant,
or, by waiting twenty-five years, could have it so
abolished that its overthrow would wholly re
dound to the glory of the Christian Church, he
would prefer the latter. I presume he was en
tirely sincere in this preference; and yet if I
were a Maryland slaveholder, anil Air. Beecher
were my slave, and I had a rawide, I could take
this opiuiou out of him in less than half an
hour.”
It would be a sight, indeed, to see Mr. Freder
ick Douglass rawhiding Henry Ward Bc'ecuer
until lie renounced the glory of the Christian
'hurch, and we really cannot bfelieve that the
brawny Frederick could do the job in less than
thirty minutes. Mr. Beecher is himself capable
of immense physical endurance; and it that
endurance were tested with reference to his nob
lest and holiest convictions, we are quite sure he
would hold out beyond the time indicated.
But, seriously, is not this style of illustration a
little severe? We need not contrast the whipper
and the whippee; they are widely known—the
one its a Cristian gentleman and philanthropist
of whom thousands of personal Irieuds and the
world at large wherever great intellects are hon
ored, are justly proud. The other is a mulatto
of considerable smartness, entitled to a certain
degree of credit for escape from slavery and
efforts for the amelioration ol the condition of
his race. To the enfranchisement of Sir. Doug
lass and his kindred, Henry Ward Beecher has
devoted the best part ot a hard-working life; he
has preached, lectured, paid, prayed and voted
for them—has fed, protected, encouraged, advised
aud employed them—has done vastly more real
work lor them than any man living. These are
his thanks; thirty minutes of lashing with a
rawhide in the hand of a six-foot negro, so that
the love of God’s Church might be whipped out
of him, or the dogma of immediate social revul
sion whipped into him, is the courteous proposi
tion of .Mr. Douglass. The picture is decidedly
more impressive than pleasant, aud recalls a word
of advice in such cases, spoken by very high
authority with Mr. Beecher, however Mr. Doug
lass may esteem it. It is: “Cast not your pearls
before swine, lest they turn again and'rend you.”

Thy Puosfect.—The conversations of the
President disturb the equanimity of the Radi
cals, and occasion mild regrets and sombre fore
bodings. They hope the reports are not true—
shall regret to find them correct—think the Pres
ident has not been so indiscreet, &c., <fcc. But
the fact is apparent that Andrew Johnson is
under the conviction that he is President of the
United States, and that Mr. Thaddeus Stevens
must go through certain forms he has not yet
submitted to before be can fill the chair of the
National Executive. The contest between the
radicalism which rushes on to revolution over
Constitution, Law and Union, and that conser
vatism which cares for the peace and prosperity
and fraternity ol the whole country cannot be
avoided. The issue will soon be broadly pre
sented to the people whether sectional strife,

sers of Union, the demagogical dictators in the

ment of their assets, real and personal, for the
benefit of their creditors; that act having been,
at the date of their communication, completed by
the President and Directors of the Augusta In
surance and Banking Company.
^ ou are well aware of the legislation of vour
predecessors, alluded to in resolutions of the
stockholders, and of the action taken bv the Ex
ecutive, by authority of that legislation'
It is not questioned, I believe, that these Banks,
and those of the State generally, were, at the
commencement of the late war iu a sound con
dition, earning on within the limits of their sev
eral charters, a legitimate banking business.
There is abundant reason to believe, that but
for the large accumulation in their hands, of
State securities of different kinds, which were re
pudiated by the late State Convention, under
pressure of Federal authority, and of irredeema
ble Confederate Treasury notes, to which accu
mulation they were constrained to submit, l*v an
unusual and rigorous State policy, they would
be in a condit ion to meet all their liabilities.
If the existence of these facts be doubted, the
truth of the case may lie elicited by scrutiuy into
their management If the recitals in their pro
ceedings, herewith transmitted, be true, they pre
sent a strong claim upon the justice of the State,
for such relief as it may lie competent for the
General Assembly|to extend. Certainly it would
seem reasonable and beneficial, tts well to them,
as to their creditors, that they be allowed to go
into liquidation, under such restrictions as may
avoid protracted aud harrassing litigation, with
out impairing any security, provided by their
several charters, for bill-holders and other credit
ors. 1 cannot dismiss the sutlject without re
remarking that if, by conforming their conduct
to statutory requirements, the directors and
other officers have been placed in a situation,
which, if voluntarily assumed, would have subject
ed them to penalties imposed by prior legislation,
justice, (not charity,) would suggest entire and
prompt relief from those penalties. This just
measure of exemption from punishment, where
there is no guilt, could work no possible injury
to creditors.
These remarks are predicated upon the state
ments made in the accompanying papers, and are
intended to apply not only to the banks above
named, their directors and officers, but to all
others similarly situated. J. commend the whole
subject to your just and wise consideration.
I also communicate to the Senate, for the use
of both' bodies in turn, a memorial from a con
vention of freedmen, said to have been held in
the city of Augusta. Very many of the subjects
embraced in it have already been submitted to
your consideration, and are now engaging your
attention.
On the whole subject of their status—their re
lation to the body politic—the large measure of
protection and encouragement to which they are
entitled—and the confidence I feel in your pur
pose to do all iu the premises that statesmanship
and philanthropy may require, I have already
conferred freely with you.
I herewith lay before the Ilouse of Represen
tatives, for the use in turn of both bodies, the
final report of the Georgia Relief and Hospital
Association, from which, I think, j’ou will find
that the complicated and difficult trust underta
ken bj’ that bodj r has been discharged with com
mendable energy and fidelity. The two docu
ments last referred to are so voluminous that,
with the existing pressure upon the officers ot
tliis Department, copies could not be made of
them without inconveniently delaying their trans
mission, and hence the course adopted.
By the act of Congress of the United States,
passed 5th of August., 1861, tor the raising of in
ternal revenue, the direct tax assessed upon the
State of Georgia is five hundred and eighty-four
thousand and sixty-seven and one-third dollars,
($584,007 33-100.)
One of the provisions of this act authorizes the
assumption by the States severally, of the collec
tion and paj'meut of their respective quotas, aud
upon such assumption and payment, a deduction
of fifteen per cent, (15 pr. ct.) Without further
legislation only the tax of one year will now be
collected, and'the process of collection in Geor
gia, from the people directly, has commenced,
though but little progress has been made in it.
Several of the Northern and Western States
have, as I am informed, actually assumed its
collection and payment.
My information is, that the Secretary ot the
Treasury declines, without express legislation on
the point, to permit this assumption bj' the States
lately hostile to the United States,
Such legislation may, during the present ses
sion, be entertained by Congress, and although
in our present status, we shall, standing without,
witness a practical separation between the power
of fixation and the privilege of representation,
hitherto considered co-relative and inseperable
in free governments, we may indulge the hope,
that whilst our voices are suppressed, our just
claims will not be ignored. On this, as on other
points, patiently awaiting the prevalence of more
liberal counsels, it is our part, as it is the unmis
takable purpose of our constituents, to discharge
our whole duty to the Government of the United
States. Should the privilege be accorded, it may
lie afters your adjournment, and in that event,
any action j’ou may deem it proper to take on
the subject, must necessarily be hypothetical.
Should our people, in their present exhausted
condition, lie called upon to pay this Federal tax
in the course of the year, and another at or near
its close, for the support of the State government,
in the next political year, the burthen 1 will fall
heavily upon them.
In our present financial condition, it is appa
rent that whatever relief, whether temporary or
permanent, j t ou may determine to give, must be
accomplished by extension of the State’s credit.
Should you incline to extend relief in some form,
and feel no other embarrassment than that re
sulting from the uncertain action of the Congress,
there are two alternatives, either of which would
accomplish the object. First, you may authorize
the Executive, in the event that the privilege be
accorded to the State, to borrow, upon her bonds,
sufficient sum to pay the quota.
If this course be adopted, it would l>e expedi
ent, without loss of time, by resolution, to re
quest a grant of the privilege to assume, and a
suspension of the collection directly from the
people, until the question be determined by Con
gress.
Secondly, leaving the people to meet for them
selves this Federal tax you may relieve them
from the payment of any State tax during this
year, for the uses of the next, and rely upon a
loan to supply that deficit. The material differ
ence between the two expedients would be, that
although upon either alternative, the people
would be relieved from one tax, upon the second,
they would have to meet the payment before re
alizing the fruits of the year’s labor. Veiy far
from countenancing the general policy of resort
ing to the credit of the State, rather than to the
pockets of the people, for the support of the
government, I j'et feel, that a stale of things,
without a parallel in the past, and I trust in the
future, may justify its present adoption, without
giving it the dangerous authority of precedent.
That state of things is simply this: On the one
hand, a people, having their individual pecuni
ary resources temporarily exhausted by a pro
tracted and deplorable war; on the other, a
State, constituted of the same people, having
large permanent resources, and very small in
debtedness, and therefore entitled to abundant
credit Under such circumstances, can it be
said, that the use of that credit, for the relief of
such people, so suffering, would violate any prin
ciple of good government or sound policy? I
have felt it my duty to ask j r our consideration of
the subject
Until the year 1864, the Reporter of the Supre
me Court was required to publish his reports in
bound volumes.
By the act of 21st March in that year, he was
required to publish them “in pamphlet from in
stead of in bound volumes.”
There can be little doubt that this enactment
was induced by the state of war, then existing,
but ft is not limited in duration, and without leg
islation, must continue to control that officer. In
point of fact, the events of the war have unavoida
bly suspended all publication, which is felt as a
serious inconvenience. But the reputation of the
able and efficient officer, entrusted with that duty,
gives ample guarantee that their publication will
be speedily resumed, and punctually maintained.
The dignity of that tribunal, as well as a wise
economy, render proper, a return to the former
mode of publication. I seriously doubt, how
ever, whether at the present high prices ot mate
rial and labor, bound volumes can be afforded at
prices fixed in better times.
This matter requires legislation.
Respectfully submitted,
Charles J. Jenkins, Governor.

paper, our attention is called particularly to one
paragraph, which bein<r manifestly wrong, we
feel bound to correct The part of the speech al
luded to is in these words:
‘ It is generally understood that you will make
choice of a distinguished gentleman, prominent
for his public services and his acknowledged
talents, and regardless of his earnest remonstran
ces as set forth in the letter I will read you, force
upon him, objecting and reluctant as he may be,
this high trust. If j'ou are really his friends,
j’ou will better serve him by foregoing the use of
his name. I care n<rt if a mfin oe considered as
pure as an angel, under such circumstances he can
not escape a suspicion of encouraging the art. My
attitude may bias my judgment, but I 'trill stake
my reputation that aril comes of the deed. But the
fiat has gone forth and it is irrevocable.”
Now, we take this occasion to state that this
is not only an assumption ou the part of the
Speaker, but in direct conflict wih the facts in the
case. _ The friends of Mr. Stephens, notwith
standing his letter withholding the use ot his
name, loking upon him and regarding him as a
man whose antecedents would not only tecoin-
niend him, but make him an exceeding!)- desirable
Senator, not only to the Southern but also to the
Northern people', felt it to be their duty to bestow
upon him this office, and take the chances of his
acceptance. We state it as a tact that Mr. Steph
ens was not only not privy to this movement, but
the first announcement of it was made to him
after it was matured on Saturday previous to the
election on Tuesday, and that that announce
ment was made to him by Col. Ramsey, him
self a candidate for that office—Col. Ramsej’,
hearing of it, with a patriotism which he brings
from the battle field and now illustrates iu his
deference to the superior wisdom, experience and
fame of Mr. Stephens, not onty retired graceful
ly from the field but advised all his friends to cast
their votes for that man to whom the people of
Georgia, almost en masse, are looking as their
Senator. Col. Ramsej’’s testimony, it required
here, will show that Mr. Stephens, up to this
time, knew nothing of the movement. Mr. Hill
must now fall back upon his ‘ judgement as being
biased by his attitude."
We have felt it to be our duty to correct this
erroneous version of Mr. Stephens’ position.
What motive, we ask, could have induced Mr.
Stephens, if he had desired the election, to have
taken the course he did, of writing to the Legis
lature and emphatically desiring that not even a
complimentary vote be cast for him ? That is not
the course usually adopted bv candidates. We
state, most emphatically, that Mr. Stephens knew
nothing of the movement until it was matured,
and moreover we further state that many of the
friends of Mr. Stephens to whom the plan had
not as yet been divulged, had determined, in
view of his first letter, not to vote for him, think
ing that his services could not be obtained. At
this stage of the movement, those who had orig
inated it, believing that Mr. Stephens could not
commit the iucivism of refusing any reasonable
trust confided to him by his State, and regarding
the greatest possible approximation to unanimity
as altogether desirable, determined to address
him a letter putting the question to him direct—
u Will you serce us if elected?" that letter to be
handed to him with the verbal declaration that
we intended to elect him anj- way, believing that
he would be the most acceptable man to the
whole country that Georgia could send.
Now, here is, sirs, a true reveiation of the
whole transaction. We have said thus much;
we do not feel that we could have said less. We
make issue with Mr. Hill again. The scope and
tenor of his speech are to the effect that we are
opposed to him solely for his loyalty to the old
flag, and that his defeat was, or would be, re
f arded at the North as an act of disloyalty.—
Tow, just here we must ask, what is the plea of
loyalty set up by Mr. Hill? What does he give
as the evidence of his loyalty ? That when the
State ot Georgia seceded, lie did not, retain his
seat in Congress, but vacated it by his own act;
that he came home and never raised his voice in
any public manner, before or during the exist
ence of the rebellion, one way or the other.
His plea, to make the most of it, is that he
preserved a position of neutrality, and lie sets
that up as an evidence of his statesmanship, and
of his loj-alty to the Union. We claim that Mr.
Stephens did more than this. He saw the break
ers ahead, the shoals and the quicksands, and,
like a true watchman on the tower, his warning
voice was heard but not heeded. Have we for
gotten the memorable occasion when the gifted
Toombs stood belore the Legislature of his
State and advised his countrymen to strike tor
independence? Who measured anus with the
great orator on that occasion ? Who dared to
lace tiie multitude clamorous for secession?—
Who had the nerve, amid this torrent of excite
ment, tf* raise his voice in favor of the then de
spised Union ? If j’ou desire an answer, go and
read the printed speech of Alexander Hamilton
Stephens, which j-ou will find in almost every
house in the Northern and Northwestern States.
Where was Mr. Hill all this time ? A loyal man,
forsooth; but, according to his own declaration,
not a word does lie utter in defense of the Union.
But more than this, Mr. Hill not only preserved
silence at that, critical time, but in the progress
of events we find him a candidate for Guberna
torial honors, thereby asking the people of Geor
gia to bestow upon him the ermine of office
which would have placed him in official antago
nism to the Government ol the United States.
And j et he claims to have been, from first to
last, a steadfast Union man. Mr. Hill saj’s he
can take the test oath; did he not try to get an
office, the obtaining ef which must have made it
impossible for hint !•> lake that oath? True, he
was not elected, anti t.ieietore not called upon to
take the oath of office as Governor of the State;
but it was only because be did not get votes
enough. We must judge hint by his acts. His
letter of acceptance, where he takes high ground
against reconstruction, is upon record, and that
will fix the animus of the man.
But, Messrs. Editors, we will pursue the speech
no further. What we mean to say is this: That
Mr. Stephens was not privy to the plan inaugu
rated for bis election, and the determination to
run him was based upon the idea first, that he
was the choice of the people; and second, that
lie was the most appropriate representative of
the present sentiment in favor of restoration and
pacification. Original Union men and original
secessionists united iu choosing as their common
representative the Prophet, who had warned us
against the fatal error which we all now lament,
and are anxious to correct. Instead of its being
an act of disloyalty, it was just the reverse. We
knew that Mr.'dtephens was on the line of Pres
ident Johnson’s restoration policy.
As you have given publication to Mr. Hill’s
speech, we now ask a place in your paper for
