SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, Jt XEJ4,
SOLDIERS RETAINING THEIR ARMS.
Some little time ago it was reixirted that
r.ll old Soldiers who should be honorably
discharged from, and regularly mustered out
of the sei vice of the United States, were to
be permitted 10 retaiu and carry home their
arms and accoutrements as trophies of their
labor and patriotism, of which weapon their
children might ever well be proud.
Though no otlieial statement had been
made of this intention on the part of the
Government, it was universally accepted by
the country at large, as being an eminently
proper and graceful thing for the Govern
ment to] do. The order direct from the
War Department, which we print this
morning as number 101, gives all the tacts of
the ca 93, and shows that the authorities have
resolved that the returning soldiers must pay
u small fee for the privilege of taking home
aod keeping their swords and guns. Had all
our boys in blue served an equal time, had
they all endured the four years baptism of
fire, doubtless the United States would have
given every man free and hearty leave to
cairy to his home the tools with which
he had done such true and faithful work
for all that bloody time. But mingled
with our veterans, are many thousands who
can still be styled mere recruits, having had
neither time nor opportunity to show them
selves worthy of a noble name, it would
seem hardly right to accord to these raw
men the honors for which their older and
war-9easoned comrades had toiled and dared
for so mauy years, and through so many
dangers. These veterans will, many of them,
be distinguished by gold, silver, or bronze
medals, of which some are to beslruck by
the Federal, and many more by the State
Governments, and every one of these men
and of their younger brethren in arms, will,
each and every man receive the grateful
thanks of a country for whose salvation he
had risked his life.
But should our retuVning braves desire to
retain their arms and equipments, they can
do so at a price so merely nominal a9 to be
almost ridiculous.
An ordinary musket with all accoutre
ments, cartridge-box, belts and bayonet,ouly
costs the soldier $6.00. It cost the United
States three to five "times that sum.
A Spencer Rifle, a soldier can have, (with
all belongings of cartridge-box, belis etc., for
$lO, which were, when the U. S first bought
them, cheap at SOO. Sabres, and Regula
tion Swords, are to be allowed, with belts
etc., to returning soldiers at $3.00 each.
So that our boys who want to take with
them into their homes their weapons of war,
can do so at a merely nominal price.
THE ACTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
It will be seen that the City Council has
taken prompt action in regard to the celebra
tiou of Independence Day. We believe that
this movement on the part of the Ciiy Gov
ernment will meet with the hearty approval
of every good citizen. No more flttiug op
portunity could well be found on which to
testify to the world that the city of Savanuah
cau still reverence the memories of ’76, and
cau join heart and hand with the descendants
of our common forefathers in doing them
honor.

New Police Regulations. —The re-or
ganisation of all the various city depart
ments on a peace ba9i9 goes on most rapidly
uuderthe scientific rule of General Wood
ford, the Post Commandant. In our proper
column this morning will be found a gen
eral order, which places the Police establish
ment ot the city on anew footing.
Though the Police duty is to be performed
by soldiers, they are governed by such rules,
aud are directed to perform their duties in
such a manner as to make only!tke very slight
est show of purely military authority, while
at the same time the peace of the city,
aud the perfect security of the citizens will,
it is hoped, be complete]}* secured.
It is, of course impossible in the best po
liced city in the world, to protect all people
against the consequences of their own indis
cretions. If a inan will become intoxicated
and place himself in positions wherr he may
easily be taken advantage of by tiieves or
other scoundrels, he can hardly hoje to save
bol hhimselfand property under suth adverse
circumstances, and has no right to blame the
police if he chance to be robbed. But under
the new organization of the protection force of
this city, carried out a9 it will be, mder the
eyes of vigilant and intelligent chefs, and
ever under the immedi ate observation of the
Post Commandant himself, we can guaran
the our citizens a degree of after-daik safety
to which oflate they have all been Strangers.

Southern Negroes and Whites.
From an article in the New York Wad,
we take the following suggestions as woiiy
of consideration :
A System of Negro Apprenticeship. —Te
mother of minor children is of couise kno,n,
aud probably is, in most cases, found onlie
same plantation with them, although insm
ces of separation are numerous. The pa
ternity is more doubtful. In cases were
both parents are known and able-boted,
there ought to be regulations making fcir
support of their offspring compulsory, ut
there will be tens ot thousands of casesoll
over the South, where, from uncertaima
teruily, inability to find work, vagraiy,
idleness, or vice, this will not be doc —
Hence the great magnitude of the quesnn,
how minois are to be provided for md
brought up. There ought to be vested i lo
cal public officers authority to bind thei oirt
till they become of age. It, is to be prurn-
ed that very young cnildren will by thtime
they are twenty-one, eain enough to jy for
their bringing up and a rudimentary luca
ti< >n. Minors in their teens, who areuden
tured to do farm work, ought to liava little
outfit on coming of age ; mechnnlcfwouU
be sufficiently compensated by thetnowl
edge- of a good trade. It is clear tbs one <f
the most urgent needs of the South is uthori
ty to make permanent equitable rrange
meats tor the support and education ti'negr
children and youth. But no children slniul
be bound as apprentices without thecoutii
ot their parents, unless the parents faV
support them The South also needs:
Equitable Regulations for the suppof’ <V
the Poor.— Besides minors, there will e ft
host of helpless colored people needing lli
protection of the community. The sict„n
firm, and aged must not be abandoned: fid
there is no justice in leaving them to the are
charity of the white families in which 'ey
formerly lived. Overseers of the poor hang
the cue of this class need to be iutried
with a large discretion. Many will lie lia
ble of partially earning their living, whuer
thejvshall be placed with planters whovill
take their services in part pay for theirub
sistence, or oe maintained in work-Bses
and other institutions, those having tb su
pervision of them will, in either case, .Ve a
wide field for the exercise of vigilance udg
ment and humanity.

Kx-Governor Magoffin, at Kentucky and
the Constitutional A uiemdment Abolish**
ing Slave y.
(From the Louisville Journal, June 13.]
Some days ago we announced the fact that
ex-Govemor Beriah Magoffin favored the
ratification by Kentucky of the constitution
al amendment prohibiting slavery through
out the United States. We had seen nothing
at the time from this distinguished gentleman
expressive of his views on the subject,—
Within a few days past, however, D. B.
Goodtoe, chairman of the Union Executive
State Committee, addressed a letter to the
ex Governor, stating that he had been in
formed that he (Magoffin; was in favor of the
constitutional amendment, congratulating
him upon the fact, and requesting him to ad
dress the people of Kentucky on this impor
tant question, at such times and places as
would suit his convenience. In reply to this,
General Goodloe received the following let
ter :
Temple Hill (near Harrodsburgh), >
June 10, 1805. )
D. S. Goodloe, Esq., Chairman, Ac.:—
My Dear Sir —I have just returned from
a fishing excursion, and received your
letter of yesterday. You arc right in sup
posing I am for the constitutional amend
ment. Slavery upon this continent is gone.
It is an accomplished fact, and the sooner
Kentucky recognizes the fact the better for
her. We want no dead issues in the coming
elections, on which, even if success is attain”
ed, nothing beyond the election of the candi
dates is accomplished. We can’t save sla
very, and the people ought to be deeply in
terested in acting upon living issues, and in
saving what there is left of the constitution
—the government of our fathers. I tried to
save it all, just as it came to us from their
hands aud was expounded by the courts; but
as this can’t be done, let us preserve all that
is left of it, outside of the nigger, and we
shall thus have, if we succeed, the best gov
ernment ou earth. The trial through which we
have passed clearly demonstrate That, the gov
ernment is amply able, without anv increase
of its powers, to protect us from foreign or
domestic enemies. Henceforeward there”will
be more confidence at home aud abroad in
the stability of our institutions—slavery bav
ing expired upon this continent as a conse
quence of the revolution. And now I must
decline your very polite iuvitation to address
the people of the State upon these questions
loi the present. My private affairs impera
tively demand my personal attention; vet if I
thought my poor services would bring about
the desired result, I should not hesitate to
act in accordance with your wishes. Num
erous letters from old and valued friends are
coming in upon me daily, and I may thiuk it
my duty in a few days, to make a public
answer to these inquiries. It is painful to dif
fer from them, but I have acted with no
party for several years, because, not know
ing what to do, I have done nothing, leaving
it to events to shape, toy course.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
IL Magoffin.
