SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 25,186<i.
INTERHSTING READING MATTER ON 4TH PAGE.
NO AFTER ESAU.
We publish elsewhere this morning certaii
resolutions introduced in the Senate of (lie
United States on the 16th inst. by Mr. Stewart,
of Nevada, and bespeak for them that careful
perusal their importance merits. Taking .them
as read, we desire to present, our view of the
case. It is Esau’s bargain and should be
spurned as the lure of Satan. If this Radical
majority in Congress has the power to impost
negro suffrage upon us, depend upon it, they
will do so whether we accede to this ultimatum
or no. if they have not that power why should
we bend our own necks to the blow ?
As to the amnesty offered in exchange for
this concession of suffrage to the blacks we
have only to say we have already as full an
amnesty, lor all practical purposes, on far ea
sier terms. There is but little Congress can
promise in the way of “ pardon ” not already
promised by the amnesty proclamation of
President .Johnson— regarding that of his pre
decessor as out. of date —and if the faith of the
United States, as therein pledged, be not 10
be depended on how shall we believe it is ever
to be so ?
Cheek by jowl we put these promises and
beg the reader to choose between them.

We have said this was Esau’s bargain. It is
hardly so mueli. For his birthright the Ish

that and are no nearer Congress to-day than
when we began. The resolutions do not offer
us, even in exchange for negro suffrage, Con
gressional Representation. Nothing but am
nesty—an amnesty —if there be one particle of
dependence to be placed in the heretofore
pledged word of the Federal Government —
that not one man in ten thousand of us requires.
But enough for the present, for we write iq

Sumner approves it and so docs Wilson, hut

there are men of real and genuine ability in

Shoulder to shoulder, men of the South, and

THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE AND
ITS WORR.
There comes to us a pamphlet containing the
laws passed at the late session of the General
Assembly of this State, and though not the of
tieial publication thereof, containing sufficient
to convey some idea of what that body has been
at for the last two mouths. The entire number
of public acts as thus given is one hundred and
seventeen, though, as stated some days since in
an article on this general subject, there has
been such an amount of private legislation as
will increase the grand total of acts to over two
hundred. Os perhaps primary importance in
the pamphlet before us is the Stay Law, vetoed
by the Governor, but passed over that veto on
the eighth of this present month by a constitu
tional majority in either house of the General
Assembly.
The subject of the Banks seems not to have
been otherwise touched than by the passage of
an act authorizing any married woman to place
'an hank, therein dispose of, or therefrom draw,
any sum not exceeding two thousand dollars,
the fruit of her own labor or that of her chil
dren, as freely as she might do if unmarried.
The Code has been amended in such copious
fashion, that our present brief review of the
various enactments on the subject does not per
mit us to give more information than that it
would hardly be safe now to depend upon that
body of statute law, without prior consultation
with some lawyer conversant with the nature
and effect of these recent changes, many of
them of a radical and most sweeping form.
Approved March sth is an act repealing all
previous prohibitory enactments whatsoever
on the distillation of wheat, corn, or other pro
ducts whereby spirituous liquor may become
even more plentiful than its present bad pro
fusion, and the vendors and consumers thereof
will rejoice.
Dogs, too, have a chapter in this late grist of
the Legislative mill, for when was there ever a
session without its dog law, when poor Tray,
in the killing of sheep and laceration of shoats,
takes to evil courses. Executors, administrators,
tfee.—for Ac. says the law in defiance of the
old saw which declares that hieroglyph the lid
to a most capacious pot—executors, &c., re
ceive n very great measure of attention, seven
acts being for their use, behoof, and benefit,
and chiefly to relieve them from some onerous
responsibilities, and ease divers doubts occa
sioned by the unjointed posture of the times.
With a provident eye to the replenishment of
the State of Georgia, and the sanctity of the
nuptial tie, the General Assembly devotes three
acts to this tender theme of marriage. All
marriages between first cousins since the elev
enth day of December, 1863, are not only con
doned, but made legal; miscegenating marriage
is made a penal offence on the officer knowing
ly issuing license for, or the clergyman solemni
zing the same, whereat let Sumner rave, and
Tabby Tilton tear his hair; and lastly, to
quiet the perturbed bosoms of all such as, in
the horrid and lamentable commotions of the
late war, were united in holy bonds otherwise
than as the law directs, it is declared that those
so united and now living as man and wife have
been, are, and shall henceforth he in the eye of
the law to all intents and purpdses legally mar
ried—thereby solving at least one of those
doubts alluded to by our most ingenious friend,
Bill Arp, as entertained by some of our wo
men who did not know but their children du
ring th£ war would linve to be born again, as a
legitimate entrance into the best Government
the world ever saw. Selah!
But blessings on them for this one merciful
deed —may the rain henceforth forevermore
never leak down through the State House roof
upon tlieir heads—the General Assembly passed
an act providing for the establishment at some
convenient point in the State of an Orphans
Home, wherein the bereft and helpless children
of the State, and especially of her gallant sons
who died freemen in vain hope that we might
live the same, shall be taken car* of. Honor to
the Legislature for this good deed. We gird at
them sometimes we know—at tlieir slowness
and sublime ventosity,•their much small potatoe
legislation and tlieir inveterate tinkering of the
Code, but palmam gui meruit, ferat we give them
our hand on this.
“ Persons of Color" —that is to say those
whom the unregenerate denominate niggers,
receive some attention but lar from that amount
it was at first thought Ethiopia would claim as
its due. The testimony act, approved in De
cember last and long ago published in this
paper; an act against miscegenation; “an aet
to prescribe and regulate the relation of bus
band and wife among persons of color —some
thing we defy anything in the world to do sav<
the good sense of the blacks themselves am
the power of the Gospel giving them aid ; am
an act to define the term persons, of color am
to declare the rights of such persons. This
latter being important we subjoin it entire, and
inviting thereto the attention of all parties in
terested, beg them to consider with what mag
nanimity, what kindness, wl\at justice this much
abused, much robbed, and much bullied State
of Georgia treats lmr former slaves:
No. 90.
An Act to define the term '■'■persons of color," ana
to declare the rights of stick persons.
Section 1. Be it enacted, &sc., That all negroes,
mulattoes, mestiz.oes, and their descendants
having one eighth negro or African blood in
their veins, shall be known in this State as
“persons of color.”
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That persons ot
color shall have the right to make and enforce
contracts, to sue, be sued, to be parties and
give evidence, to inherit, to purchase, and to
have full and equal benefit of all laws and pro
ceedings for the security of person and estate,
and shall not be subjected to any other or dif
ferent punishment,, pain, or penalty, for the
commission of any act or offence, than such as
are prescribed for white persons committing
like acts or offences.
Sec. 3. Repeals conflicting laws.
Approved 17th March, 1866.
After this the Legislature takes up the Rail
roads, and passes two acts in reference to those
corporations—one making it a penal offence in
any railway employee to charge higher freight
or fare than the charter of the road allows, and
the second declaring it the duty of railroad
companies to furnish, on demand, receipts
made out and stamped in proper form, to all
shippers of goods, and declaring a refusal
herein a misdemeanor punishable with fine and
imprisonment—Steamboat and Express Com
panies to come similarly under the rule.
And then the Legislature proceeds to admin
ister Relief, and it docs it well, passing thirteen
different acts to that one end alone, and giving it
in all sorts of cases from the exemption from
Road anti Jury duty ot Professors and teachers
to the exoneration of Confederate soldiers, for
acts done as such, arid the furnishing of bread
to the poor. This is all very well. The people
needed succor and the General Assembly is en
titled to great credit for its exertions to afford
needed aid, expeeially in those eases where the
exigency arose from a devotion to the State
that counted neither life, property, or limb in
her service and defence.
The Stay Law we will publish in its correct
form and also cither all ora reasonably clear sv
nopsis, of the la v law.-; a i soon as can be possibly
done, desiring to keep our readers fully ace
quainted with the miseries of their position,
byway of raising spirits doubtle-r. likeour own
occasionally much depressed. And this is
about all. Private legislation we givetlie goby
and looking alone at those acts of general inter
est and moment cannot but think the Legislature
has done well, ti was not our fortune to at
tend the adjourned session from January, but we
learn that courteous decorum marked its delib
erations as wisdom, moderation, and justice
bear their stamp upon its laws enacted.
THE OHBONIOLeTnD SENTINEL.
This city cotemporary, one of the oldest pa
pers in the State, if not the eldest, on yesterday
changed hands and is announced as to la* here
after issued by Henry Moore, Esq., and Gen
eral A. R. Wright, both old and prominent
Augustan*. Messrs. 8. A. Atkinson and .Mar
tin V. Calvin are, we note, engaged upon the
editorial staff of the new management and from
the conceded ability of those gentlemen we pre
dict for the public no little advantage and an
ticipate that our Constitutionalist fraternity
will be pushed to their mettle. Learning that
our venerable and yet vigorous compeer will
henceforth stand by us in assertion and mainle
nance of those principles so dear to our people,
we cordially tender it those journalistic courte
sies it has, by stress of circumstances, not at all
times been in onr power heretofore to extend.
Important from Washington.
Ultimatum of the Radicals—General Amnesty
and Universal Suffrage—Senator Stewart's
Resolutions —Their Apps'oval by Sumner and
Wilson.
In the Senate, on Friday, the ifith, Mr, Stew
art introduced the following joint resolution,
which was referred to the Committee on Re
construction:
Whereas, in the present distracted condition
of the country it is emminentlv proper and ne
cessary that all just and const "national means
should lte employed for the quieting of popular
excitement, the removal of unreasonable preju
dice, and the obliteration of all hostile feeling
growing out of the late unhappy civil war; and
whereas ope of the most prolific sources of un
friendly sentiment is the conflict of opinion ex
| isting on the subject of negro suffrage; and
j whereas it is now most evident that there is no
' probability whatever that Senators and Ilepre
i sentatives in Congress from the States whose
people were lately in Insurrection, will be al
! lowed to occupy tlic seats to which they have
i been elected until said States shall have eom
| plied with certain fundamental conditions, a
j portion of .which are hereinafter recited; and
: whereas it is unreasonable to expect the estab
lishment of harmony and good feeling as long
| as the eleven Southern States, whose people
i were recently in insurrection, are prevented
from resuming - their ancient relations to this
Government; therefore, he it
Resolved, isc., First, That each of said States
whose people were lately in insurrection, as
aforesaid, shall be recognised ns having fully
and validly resumed its former relations with
this Government, and its chosen representatives
shall he admitted into the two houses of the
National Legislature, whenever said State shall
have so amended its constitution as, Ist, to do
away with all existing distinctions as to civil
rights and disabilities among the various classes
of its population, by reason either of race or
color, or previous condition of servitude ; 2d,
to repudiate all pecuniary indebtedness which
said State limy have heretofore contracted, in
curred or assumed in connection with (he late
unnatural and treasonable war; 3d, to yield all
claim to compensation on account of the libe
ration of its slaves; and, 4tli, to provide for
the extension of the elective franchise to all per
sons npqu the same terms and conditions, mak
ing no discrimination on account of race, color
or previous conditmu of servitude: Provided,
That those who were qualified to vote in the
year 1860 by the laws of the respective States
shall not be disfranchised by reason of any new
tests or conditions which have been or may be
prescribed since that year.
Resolved, That after the aforesaid conditions
have been complied with, and the same shall
have been ratified by the majority of the present
voting population of the State, including all
those qualified to vote under the laws thereof
as they existed in 1860, a general amnesty shall
tie proclaimed in regard to all persons in such
State who were in any way connected with
armed opposition to the Government of the
United States, wholly exonerating them from
all paii)s, penalties, of disabilities to which they
may have become liable by reason of connection
with the rebellion.
Resolved, That in view ol the importance of
the thorough assimilation of the basis of suff
rage in the various States of Hie Union, all oth
er States not above specified shall be respectful
ly requested to incorporate an amendment in
.their State constitutions respectively, corres
ponding with the one specified.
Resolved, That in the adoption of the afore
said resolutions, it is not intended to assert a
coercive power on the part of Congress in re
gard to flic regulation of the right of suffrage
in the different States of the, Union, but only to
make a respectful and earnest appeal to their
own good sense and love of country, -with a
view to the prevention of serious evils now
threatened, and to the peaceful perpetuation of
the repose, the happiness and the true glory of
the whole American people.
Mr. Stewart said that he asked that the reso
lution be printed and referred to the Commit
tee on Reconstruction, and added, 1 have been
a careful observer of the current of events
since Congress assembled, and I have come to
the conclusion that a proposition of that kind
corresponds with the prevailing sentiments in
Congress and also in the country, and is indi
cated by the public press; and without express
ing any opinions as to the propriety or impro
priety of negro suffrage, which X have steadily
avoided from the first to the present time, I
have come to the conclusion that in the pres
ent attitude ot Congress and the country, the
terms which Congress is willing to grant should
he submitted to the South for them to adopt
or reject. This proposition avoids all the
odious objections attached to tlio other propo
sitions that have appeared, and all that appears
like coercion, It also avoids the long roll oi
amendments which must be contended for on
Northern battle-fields before the South be heard
at all. It is the only proposition that can be
heard by the South.
I want the Soutli to have an opportunity to,
act upon it, without imparting to it what they
regard as odious. When they refuse the pro
position it will be time enough to consider
other ones. Until they do I think it unjust to
the South to take from them the right to decide
for themselves. And I would say, further
more, that I find it to lie in accord with the
letter written by the President of the United
States, which 1 am authorized to state Judge
Carter says is genuine. It corresponds in spirit
witli that letter, and 1 have no reason to be
lieve from anything the President has thereaf
ter said that lie at all objects to it. I beg leave
to read the letter.
Mr. Stewart then read President, Johnson’s
telegram of the 16th of August, 1865, to W. L.
Sharkey, of Mississippi, in whieli the President
expresses his pleasure at the organization of the
convention in Mississippi, and his hopes that
the convention will sa amend the constitution
of that State as to abolish slavery by adopting
the constitutional amendment, and adding: “If
you could extend the elective franchise to all
tfersons who can read the Constitution of the
United States in English ami can write their
names, and to all persons of color who own
real estate to the value of $250 and pay taxes
thereon, it would disarm your enemies and set
an example for other States.
This fetter was not read to the convention,
who refuses to receive any official communica
tions, so that it was not presented to the peo
ple of that or any other State. The President
did not feel authorized to submit the question
to the people, or to demand anything as a con
dition which was not one of the issues In the
war. This wats an outside matter, which the
people therefore could have no opportunity of
passing upon.
Mr. Stewart remarked that the resolution left
to the State the power of passing property
test that would include all men under twenty
seven years of age, and that the colored popu
lation would be placed under the same footing'
as to educational tests. It would he unfair he
said, to place that test upon a man who had
passed the years when learning was easy. A
young man of the age of twenty .seven can
easily learn to read and write, and a test of that
kind can be applied so as to exclude that mass
of ignorance which would embarrass the oper
ations of the Government; and it holds out an
opportuuitity for the negro to become enfran
chised, and yet expressly disclaims any desire
to coerce the people of the South in so doing
and places before them the questions regarding
the rebel debt and compensation for their slaves
He was of opinion that the South cannot be
governed except by a majority vote of the peo
ple and did not believe the majority could be
governed by one-tenth of the people. Either
the majority must govern or arbitrary means
must be resorted to, and free government must
be destroyed.
Mr. Sumner said: I welcome the Senator
from Nevada as a new convert to the necessity
of negro suffrage, and 1 have already repeatedly
said that it, was the only guarantee of future
peace and security in this country. I have in
sisted that it is a necessity; that without it your
national debt is imperilled; that without it
your freedmen stand in constant peril, and
that this Republic cannot enjoy permanent
peace without it. Sir, I welcome with open
arms the Senator from Nevada.
Mr. Sanlsbury moved that the resolution he
bud upon the table. The motion was disagreed
Mr. Wilson said: I thank the Senator from
Nevada for offering this resolution, and I have
no doubt that it will receive the consideration
of the committee and of Congress. I am, lor
one, desirous to settle the whole question on
the basis of universal liberty, universal suffrage
and universal amnesty.
Mr. Stewart said lie would move that the reso
lution be printed, which was agreed to.
