Constitutionalist. AITGUJSTA. GhA.I FRIDAY MORNING. SEPT. 27.18C7 11. It is the duty of the military authorities in this District to secure to the people the ut moot freedom of speech and ofthe press consist ent with law ; not to restrict either. No sam f teUrry execution of the late acts of Congress is practicable unless this freedom is secured and its exercise protected by the usual legal means. 111. No officer or soldier in this command will hereafter interfere with newspapers or speakers on any pretense whatever. [Gen. Pope’s Order, June 3d. “ Freedom of speech and of the press, educa tion, equality before the law, and in political rights and privileges, are the essentials of ahy satisfactory reconstruction in the South. [Gen. Pope’s Letter to Gen. Grant. THE SUPREME COURT. Wendell Phillips thinks the Supreme Court the last bulwark of President Johnson , and sharply reminds his partisans that it may prove a disastrous barricade to them. He raves at the more than “ Episcopal per tinacity” of the judges in holding on to life, and urges them either to /lie or resign. Failing to do the one or the other, the amiable Wendell sees no earthly way of being rid of the judicial incumbrance save through the decapitating process of Con gress. Even the arbitrary and aggressive W en dell is cautious in his approaches and has sl suspicion of awe when confronting all that is left of the austere majesty that ling ers around that venerable Court. He only hints at its demolition; he spasmodically pushes the responsibility at Mr. Schuyler Colfax and his thralls. He faintly inti mates that the “ nation will help them in going to the extreme verge of their consti tutional power,” but cunningly omits to mention where that verge of power begins and, most terrible of all, where it ends. The only crumb of information is that vouchsafed by a Latin maxim : Solus populi supremo lex. In that phrase lurks the, so-called, jesuit ical idea that the end justifies the means; and, if Congress wants to save the Radical party, it must rout out those Justices of the Supreme Court who can not safely be de pended upon for allies and slaves. In his headlong desire to rid the party of the Supreme Court, he forgets that Latin aphorisms can, like Delphic oracles, be in terpreted in various ways. And so it hap pens with this aphorism that “ The safety ofthe people is the supreme law.” Mr. Johnson manifestly believes that the existence of the Constitution and the Supreme Court is vitally necessary to the safety of the people; while Wendell Phillips imagines ttiat the safety of the people is the safety of Radicalism and, to save Radicalism, everything else must perish. He 6a ys: “ Mr. Johnson’s main object is to confuse public oplniou and divide the ranks of the Re publican party. No more eflectual means could be desired than a decision of the Supreme Court, adverse to Congress. Round such a de cision would rally all the timid, tired, weak kneed, half-way, compromising and dishonest elements which victory has lured into the Re publican ranks. Landlocked and hampered by such opposition, the reconstruction movement would move very slowly and fitfully forward — the youngest of us, in such circumstances, may reach old ««« before.lt will be ended —iu any true sense of the word.” If the “ safety ofthe people is the supreme law,” it Is worth while to understand the meaning of the term “ people.” Mr. Phil lips defines the people as his people, wheth er white or black, recent ebullitions leave the question doubtful. But taking it for granted that “ people ” means Radical peo ple, Mr. Phillips is shown to conspire against the welfare of a majority of individ uals supposed to be his fellow-countrymen, and iu favor of a minority that begins to stink in the nostrils of North and South alike. The Conservative element, if liberty survive, will be proved numerically supe rior as it is superior morally and intellectu ally. Believing iu this preponderance, anti be lias ample grounds for such conviction, Mr. Johnson takes issue with Mr. Phil lips and makes an appropriate use of his Latin proverb. We trust that the issue will be made plainly and promptly, without hes itation or cowardice. The “ timid, tired, weak-kneed, half-way, compromising ele ments which victory has lured into the Re publican ranks” are the balances of power. If to themlghty hostthatlias rallied, through principle, around the advanced standards of the Constitution, the President can gather the goodly tribes of those who struggle for Interest, the triumph of republican freedom will not be uncertain. Mr. Wendell Phil lips will be taught, likewise, that the Peo ple are weary ot him and his whims and the anarchs of Congress pushed over that verge of the Supreme Law which is the rock of Tarpeia to those who trifie with the Safety of the People. Barhbkous.—Nothing could be better than the speech of a Mobile barber, when a uutuber Os ex-Rebels lately offered him $2,000 to run for Congress : “ Gentlemen, ii 1 sell myself, 1 sell my people; if I sell ray people, I sell my Chil dren-” If anything half as good was said at Antietam the other day we shall be glad to re cord it.— N. Y. Tribune. We agree with Horace that nothing half go good was said at Antietam, save and except Geary’s gag howl. The “ ex-Rebels” were very foolish to squander their money upon the sable Roman •when thousands of his color will run for nothing. Maybe, they thought it worth a considerable sum to send a negro to Con gress who can beat the “ white trash of Antietam” in popular oratory and one, too, who claims the paternity of several millions of children. A General Grab Game.— The New York Herald is at a loss to understand the tremendous decrease in the internal revenue or infernal revenge. Corruption holds high carnival and plunders the dropsical money chest of Uncle Sam with impunity. In an agony of bewilderment, the Herald says: “For years the ‘party of moral ideas’ de nounced the robberies perpetrated by Demo crats ; but what chronicle of Democratic thieve ry can ever equal the enormity of the swindles that go on under our very respectable Repub lican assessors and collectors. It looks much as if all these patriotic gentlemen saw the Republi fan machine tumbling about their ears, and f* no other anxiety than to save what they fniyht for the future by general grabbing." Rampant. —The Washington correspond ent of the Boston Post says General O. O. Howard is stark mad with rage, and de clares “ that sooner than have the negroes of the city deprived of the right of suffrage, even by Congressional action, he would be willing to see every stone of the capitol torn down and the city itself demolished, and he would glory in heading an army to do the work-” A New Method of Treating Gun Shot Wounds.— ln the August number of “ The Richmond Medical Journal' there is an essay from the pen of Dr. Wm. Middleton Mi chel, of Charleston, well worthy tile at tention of every enlightened physician anil man of science. This article, entitled “ The Catacleitic Method of Treating Qun Shot Wounds ,” pro poses a plan which briefly consists “in paring, enseaming, and operculating the ori fices of wounds, secure from the ingress of air—not that air is ever injurious to living tissues, but because it favors putrefaction of the secretory products.” Dr. M. speaks of the importance of em ploying needles, silver wire, or horse-hair, as the retentive means, instead of using the ordinary thread-suture. These thread-su tures, so generally resorted to, in “occlu sive dressings,” must have failed—since Dr. M. remarks, “ A treatment so long known would have come to be commonly accepted; time would have gradually corrected the inaccuracies and exaggerated promises of the plan, and through the assiduity of its advocates, or the scrutiny of its adversa ries, the method would have been perfected.” The “ Catacleitic ” plan occurred to the Doctor’s mind while preparing a report on “the Spontaneous Healing of Gun Shot Wounds,” which was read by him before “ the Association of Army and Navy Sur geons” in November, 1803, and which lias since been reprinted in various quarters. “It is the province of enlightened sur gery,” says Dr. M., “ to endeavor to sup plant the adhesive process of second inten tion, by favoring the contraction and con solidation of some of these wounds by properly devised means. The prejudice whicli exists against abruptly closing a wound lias permitted but few to test a question so much insisted upon by Mr. Paget.” As Dr. Michel has often distinguished himself by novel and most important sug gestions in the line of his profession, es pecially by Ills able “ monograph on the Pathology of the Pituitary body,” of which Paget, of England, spoke in enthusiastic terms, characterizing it as “an exhaustive essay, with much that was wholly unknown to the profession,” any new method of his must meet with especial consideration from men of science. ‘ We are persuaded that the invention (for such it may be justly called), to which we allude, will be the means of alleviating hu man suffering to an unusual degree. It is, therefore, the duty of physicians to examine it fairly. We now invite them to do 60. Mower and Griffin.—Forney, with a twirl of his pen, says : “ Mower is one of the n>o6t uncompromising Radicals in.the army. His Radicalism enabled him to survive a severe attack of yellow fever recently.” Griffin was an uncompromising Radi cal, too, and, if anything, worse than Mower, for he insulted the ashes of Sidney John ston. But he did not “ survive an attack of yellow fever recently.” Perhaps, the erudite Forney will explain how Mower was saved ayl Griffin killed. Honest. — Wendell Phillips is out spoken in his alarm at the signs of reac tion. He evidently considers a storm im minent which will beat down the shelters of Radicalism, and says : “ The result of t’le late elections in the States of California and Kentucky is fraught with peril to the Republican party. For how can the Republicans of the North insist upon the Southern people doing that which they refuse The Upshot of a Peace Congress.— General Garibaldi, not many weeks ago, attended a “ Radical Peace Congress ” at Geneva. He is now a prisoner at Florence, having made a warlike excursion toward Rome. The Radical definition of peace is a charming conundrum on both sides of the water. If we could only secure a War Congress there might be some chance for peace, since peace means war and war means peace iu Red Republican vocabu laries. The Cause op Geary’s Wrath. —At first, It seemed that Governor Geary’s tirade was causeless. This has been proved a mistake. He had prepared a lengthened political harangue and caused it to be set in type the day previous in the office of the Philadelphia Press. As he could not deliver it, the speech and the speaker were knocked into pi. Query. —ls Gov. Jenkins, a State officer, is forbidden to counsel his countrymen on political affairs, what right has the illus trious Hum.BERT or the mighty Chief Jus tice Warner to exercise unlicensed liberty of speech ? There is no gag on the Radical programme, is there, Pope John ? A Curious Analogy.—The complaint of Thaddeus Stevens is identical with that of his country. Botli have dropsy of the chest. The chest of the one is of very lit tle consequence; the chest of thfe other is singularly valuable, because it is the money chest. “ The National Airs.” The following note was recently sent by General Duncan, district commander, to the managers of one of the Nashville thea tres : “ Gentlemen : It having come to the knowledge of the general commanding the district that the national airs played by the orchestra at your theatre last night were hissed by the audience, I beg leave to in form you that, if such an insult to our flag occurs again at your entertainments, a military guard will be placed to attend to them, with instructions to expel all persons so offending from the house.” Several reflections naturally occur in reading this note. We shall give expression to only two or three of them. 1. What is a “national air?” Has any such air been prescribed, adopted, or recog nized, either by the Constitution or laws of the United States ? We have never heard of any such prescription or recognition.— By what authority, then, does an air become national ? 2. Tennessee is not one of the five dis tricts, pachalics, or satrapies. She is nomi nally a State of the Union—fully recon structed. But what advantage is this to her, if Gen. Duncan can, at his own good pleasure, send a military guard to suppress what he chooses to consider an insult to a “ national air," which is national only from usage or fimey? What will it avail us to obtain reconstruction on this basis ? Is it not better to have military government alone, than to have military government in combination with a Radical and mongrel system of civil government ? 3. If the “national airs” were hissed by the audience, it is fair to presume that the audience did not like them. Will they like them any better on account of Gen. Dun can’s interference ? If not, cui bono t— (Jen. Duncan, we apprehend, gains neither glory as a soldiers nor credit as a man of sense by the operation. Frederick the Great was wiser, when he ordered a lampoon upon himself to be posted lower down, so that the people might read it the better.— But Frederick was something of a philoso pher, as well as a bit of a soldier. Gen. Duncan may be the one, for aught we know, but he is evidently not the other. <j [Mobile Register. i Tennessee Politics. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS —PROCLAMATION BY GOV. BROWNLOW. State of Tennessee, 1 Executive Department, > Nashville, September 18,1867. ) Whereas, some excitement has grown out of the agitation of the subject of the ap proaching municipal elections to come off the ensuing Fall and Winter, iu the several cities and towns of this State ; and whereas a controversy has actually arisen in two or more cities as to who are qualified voters iu such elections, and who are the proper au thorities to appoint the judges and clerks of said elections. Now, therefore, I, William G. Brownlow, Governor of the State of Tennessee, in the discharge of tlfe duties imposed upon me by law, do hereby proclaim that the commis sioner of registration uuder the franchise law" is the proper person to appoint the judges and clerks of all elections; and that the qualified voters in all municipal elec tions are those only who have certificates of registration, and who are qualified to vote for members of the General Assembly. The franchise law is a part and parcel of the constitution—has been sustained by the Supreme Court of Tennessee—and all elec tions held in violation of said law are null and void, and of no effect whatever. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my official signature, and caused the great, seal of the State of Tennessee to be affixed, at the Executive Department in Nashville, on the 18tli day of September, 1867. W. G. Brownlow. By the Governor: A. J. Fletcher, Secre tary of State. COMMENTS OF THE GOVERNOR’S ORGAN ON THE PROCLAMATION. We are not a little surprised at the au dacity of Matt Brown’s rebel municipal board of Nashville in appointing judges and clerks of the approaching charter elec tions. If they suppose, as their conduct would indicate, that the Executive of the State will submit to this usurpation, they are either bigger fools than we could have imagined them to be, or they are more reckiess in tlieir treason than could resona bly be expected under the circumstances. — No provisions of the franchise law is clearer than that giving to the commissioners of registration the power to appoint judges and clerks of all elections. These commis sioners have as much authority to appoint the judges and clerks of a municipal elec tion as of any other election, and Governor Brownlow says he will teach these sedition ists that this provision of the amended con stitution shall be enforced. Gen. Jo. Coop er is now iu Baltimore, but he will return to Nashville in a few days, and with the militia (if necessary to resort to force) he will quench this incipient rebellion in Nash ville.—Knoville Whig, Sept. 19 th. [From the Nashville Union arid Dispatch, Sept. 20. A DEMOCRATIC STATEMENT OF THE DIFFI CULTY. The sixteenth section ofthe franchise law provides that “ this act shall not be so con strued as to allow the colored man to hold office or sit on juries.” Gov. Brownlow knows that a “ colored man ” is a candi date for an office at the pending municipal election in this city. There can be no ques tion as to the intent and meaning of this section, but Gov. Brownlow, who lays so much stress upon “ the duties imposed upon him by law,” does not fulminate a bull against the “ colored man.” He would most likely answer, if pressed upon this point, that there was grave doubt whether the Legislature, having made a voter of the “ colored man," hacl the authority to impose this “ odious ” restriction upon him, and the courts should decide the matter. That is precisely the position occupied by those against whom his late proclamation is di rected. There is a great conflict between the charter of Nashville and the franchise law as to who shall appoint judges and clerks to hold the municipal election, and it is a gross outrage upon the rights of the people for Gov. Brownlow to assume to decide that question and to force obedi ence to liis exposition of the law. If those who profess to believe that the franchise law is the paramount law upon the points here involved, are sincere in the profession, they know that the courts are open to them, and that they have a remedy for tlieir rights there. It is to the courts the other party propose .to leave the question, if their inter pretation that the city charter must govern upon this question is contested. And when Gov. Brownlow assumes that the men who appointed the judges and clerks to hold the pending municipal election were actuated by any other motive than “ the discharge of the duties imposed upon them by law,” he assumes that which has no more founda tion in truth than his assumption to expound the law has in law. The Value op Fools. —The Memphis Chamber of Commerce being in a dilapi dated and sinking condition, the Avalanche offers some advice as to the best way to reinvigorate it, which will be generally considered novel. It says : The Chamber of Commerce needs two new classes of men in office. One of these should be young, enterprising men of busi ness, who will take a real interest in the Chamber of Commerce, who will actively promote measures for the common good but in which they are not specially inter, ested. Tlie other class that the institution needs in office are fools. We never knew any public or co-operative movement that attracted much attention or accomplished much good unless it had one or two fools connected with it as managers. In such cases a fool keeps such matters lively and rides hobbies that promote the success of mere utilitarian measures. We are not sufficiently acquainted among the mercan tile community to select ouc or two fools for positions in the Chamber of Commerce, but we doubt not they can be found. Even one would be of material advantage, by giving life to the institution. What would the Board of Aldermen be if there wasn’t one fool in it? What is the reason that our Board of Health don’t flourish ? Good Advice. Abolish- follies, and establish in their stead, says a correspondent of the Mont gomery Advertiser, agricultural societies in eacli county of the State, offering premiums for the largest amount of corn, wheat, po tatoes and cotton raised on a given amount of land—the finest specimens of the horse, cow, mule, hog, sheep ; also, for the most perfect productions of manufactured and mechanical skill, and my word for it, there will be. no longer necessity of sending agents North to beg meat and bread for the “starving poor of the South. Messrs. Editors, you may advocate re construction with all your great abilities until doomsday, and unless there is great things effected, in the public mind, in re gard to honest manual labor, it, will effect but little substantial good. On the contra ry, if public opinion was so directed, or formed, that no man shold be received into polite society unless he followed some hon orable and useful avocation to enable him to secure a livelihood, then, and not till then, would our country be savingly recon structed ; then would railroads be built, manufactories be established, and all the branches of industry flourish; then we would be a reconstructed and independent people indeed.

It looses ’ no slack while putting on, and Is so perfect that th» • necessity for heavy hoops, to make up lor deliciencle i in the TIE, is entirely obviated. Can he sold hy the pound or ton, as cheaply as the heavy hoops and less perfect ties. Each and every ! TIE Is warranted perfect. I As an evidence of [the estimation in which these TIES are held, wo herewith append the certificate of the Agent of the Central Cotton Press in this city. If a competent judge can ho found anywhere as to the ' merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely he so considered, as he presses thousands of bales of Cotton every year, and Ties of all patents are constantly pass ( ing through his hands. Office of the Central Cotton Press, ? • Savannah, May 27th, 1867. S Messrs. E. W. Sims &. Co., Agents for Dillon’s “ Universal Tie,” SaviAnah. Dear Sirs : In my business of compressing Cotton, I have had occasion to examine closely all of'thh vari ' ous Ties for iron hands used In haling Cotton, and pleasure in testifying to the superiority overall others of the UNIVERSAL TIE.” It is as easily ad justed and is much stronger than any other Tie. A Tie that is not good at the Press is not good at the Plantation, as nearly all the Cotton is compressed at the Ports, and a weak Tie must then he replaced by a good one at the expense of the planter. I have never seen one of your TIES break, though I pitched a hale of Cotton secured by them out of a. eeond story to the ground without any break to the fall. Under these circumstances I unhesitatingly recom mend the “ UNIVERSAL TIE ” to every Planter, as ■ combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled ’ strength. S. W.
