<£ Oailn ress. City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST CUT CIRCULATION AUOTJBTA. OA. THVRSDAT MORNING JaM J*. IMT Immigration in Virginia. The laaigtalioa Convention recently ts«mbU at Alexandria, wok some practical *tep*,for promoting the intro' and action of farmer* from abroad. They pasted reaolatiooa crying a poo the land owuer* of Virginia the advantage to themselves, and to the State, of sub dividing their lands into tract* of such aiae aa will meet the demand* of the market, to gather information of the location, soil, and character of the land* no offered for ante, and the price* of the •ame; and also to establish agencies in the leading eitiee of the United States, and in foreign coantries, where it may be deemed necessary, folly believing that if the proper information can thus be spread before the people the natural advantage* which Virginia offer* to parties desiring to emigrate are such a* of themselves will draw into that State a voluntary emigration adequate to her need. They also took the preliminary steps to form a land company, with authority to secure subscriptions of land, at fairly estimated values, to be held and disposed of in the interest of the company. Almost everywhere else in the Sonth, save in Georgia, something is being done to secure an increase of population from abroad. Female Suffrage. We recently noticed the espousal of the cause of female suffrage by the able and erratic Senator Foote. The Mem phis Bulletin, edited by Admiral Se mmes, also declares in faror of the same movement. We fail to understand the reasons which lead to the evident growing conviction in favor of the enfranchisement of woman. It appears to u* to be against reason, against nature, and violative of all the dearest interests of society. If the standard of political capacity and purity be thereby possibly elevated, the purity and modesty of the sex would be lowered iu a ten fold degree. Woman rules amid the sacred altars of the fireside; and when she mounts the hustings, or elbows herself throogh the vulgar and drunken crowds that throng election precincts, she loses those retiring and modest graces that constitute her highest glory. It may seem idle to write seriously, in this latitude, of a question that has been considered the favorite crotchet only of a few visionary reformers; but when we see the measure adopted, as it has been in Kansas, by both branches of the State Legislature, and submitted to the |>cople for ratification ; and when men of talent, like Admiral Semitic v. es[>oiise it, the subject begins to U«i n up into the substance of anew national problem. [cOHMBSUCATID. The Belief Question. Mr. Editor : The decision in the case of Heard r*. The Mechanic's Hank, if not reversed by the Supreme Court, will create incalculable mischief throughout the entire State, and if it be true, as the Chronicle & Sentinel remarks, that u there is not a single surrender of a Bank Charter in the State, and all the surrenders and sub sequent assignments are illegal and void,” then it is but justice to all bill holders who are willing to settle with the Bank that they should be paid forthwith pro rata in such assets as our Banks have at command, and let those who prefer to sue take their chances for what they may get out of the wreck. Every intelligent man knows full well that it was no fanlt on the part of the directors that the Banks are unable to redeem their circulation. The whole 'ircumstances are so well known that ( wholly unnecessary to discuss that j t j The sacred honor of the proud p 0 j nt _ q tate” of Georgia was pledged -Empire. ’ treasury notes, which to redeem he. our Banks - * nd haT * were forced upon Her circulation, our jng failed to redeem . a matter of moneyed institutions, n ' a “ d while course, became insolvent; '* lu f * he our wise legislators are in n ' wnh sole cause of this insolrency, they v a larger portion of the community would fain throw the whole responsi bility on the directors; and although thousands are clamorous to be relieved from debts contracted before the war— for bread, meat, and clothing—not a few arc eager to saddle responsibilities on innocent stockholders, whose stock has been rendered worthless, at the instiga tion ol men now holding bank bills at a cost of five to ten cents on the dollar, with a confident hope of further swin dling the widow and the orphan out of the last vestige of property they hold on earth. And their nefarious schemes will be carried out to the letter, if sus tained by the Supreme Court; for other stockholders more sagacious will not sit down quietly with folded arms, waiting for a pack of speculators to obtain judgment and pounce upon their property ; and the inevitable result will be that every man who has any thing at stake will remove it (with biuiselt) to another country, where such executions will be about as available against him as Confederate bonds or State Treasury notes. The present condition of affairs in the Southern States is not so very attractive at to induce men to stand still and be fleeced in any such unmitigated man ner. We have enough in all conscience to contend with, without stirring up strife among ourselves, and whoever buys up hank bills, buys them at his 'own risk, and should be compelled to settle with honest bankrupt corporations as with individual* ia like circum stance*. Is there, therefore, no justice in the land, to crush out impositions that roast impoverish the country, by driving off our best citiaens to a country where they can feel secure, and bid defiance to such verdicts as are likely to be rendered against them. We make great professions as to security of property, in order to iedece capital to come from abroad, while the keen capitalist at a distance can readily see that, in various ways, we are moving heaven and earth to drive what little fee have left away from him; and oar own citisena, who would willingly make advances to planters, are thwarted in every possible way, so that they feel they are doing a safer business ia letting their money lie idle in the Bank of England or elsewhere than accumula ting interest on any securities that can be offered in this country, when there is such an antagonistic feeling existing against moneyed institutions, or men who have the means and disposition to help his poorer neighbors. A recent writer, “J. A. in the Chronicle and Sentinel, boldly urges a *• partial if not total repudiation of all debts,” as the only remedy of “relief for the dear people.” Now.that is decidedly cool, and certainly very encouraging for capitalists to step forward and lend a helping hand to an industrious farmer, who may in return brand him with tbe epithet of “ Shylock,” and threaten repudiation for payment. This matter of “relief” has been discussed long enough, and every man who is insolvent can be relieved by making a fair showing to bis creditors. Not many months ago two of our mer chants advertised to settle with their debtors on snch terms as they might feel able to propose, and if we mistake not, few if any of their country custom ers called in for a settlement. “ Get all yon can, and keep all you get,” seems to be the kind of relief many folks crave. Augusts. [communicated. The “ Sherman Bill.” Ms. Editor : As the “ Sherman Bill'’ ia the political topic of the day, and a strict legal interpretation of its various parts and meaning, together with the manner, mode and authority by which they are to be executed or enforced, are engaging the great minds of our coun try, permit an unpretending citizen to lay before your readers the following view from an impartial stand point, and based upon the provisions of the Act itself: Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That until the people of said rebel States shall be by law admitted to rep resentation in the Congress of the United States, any civil governments which may exist therein shall be deemed provisional only, and in all respects subject to the paramount authority of the United States at any time to abol ish, modify, control, or snpercede the -line; and in all elections to any office under snch provisional governments, all persons shall be entitled to vote, and none •.thers.wbo are entitled to vote under the provisions of the fifth section of this iicl ; and no person shall be eligible to any office under any snch provisional governments who would be disqualified from holding office under tbe provisions of the third article of said constitutional amendment. From this (6th) section of the bill it will be readily admitted that our civil government in Georgia, as in the other nine States, is provisional only, and in all respects subject to the paramount authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control, or supercede the same. The only remaining question is, ns to the paramount authority of the Uuited States. Who is that authority 7 Where does that power lie T It evidently rests somewhere, and certainly not with the President, for he was opposed to the passage of the very Act now to be enforced. It must be conceded, therefore, that (on this occasion at least) Congress is the paramount authority of the United States, and in the first section of the. bill—which we give below—it delegates that power to the military, as prescribed by the second section : Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That said rebel States shall be divided into military districts and made subject to the military anlhority of the United States, as hereinafter prescribed, and for that purpose Virginia shall consti tute the first district; North Carolina and Sooth Carolina the second district; Georgi i, Alabama, and Florida the -hird district; Mississippi and Arkansas ' fourth district; and Louisiana and ,L v the fifth district. Texa- ’• And be it further enacted, ij*c . U be the duty of the Presi- That it sha ' command of each dent to assign « office . r lhe arm J of said districts ot brigadier general, not below the rank 'ent military force and to detail a suftit perform his to enable snch officer . Hority within duties and euiorce his aui. <tned. tbe district to which he is assi, power It will be conceded that the _ 'ury delegated by Congress to the miln in the first section remained with the military or war department, of the gov ernment only, until the President ap pointed and assigned to the command of each of the districts an officer of the army,under the provisions of the second section. This being done, the President bus performed the duty assigned him i and the military or war department iu duly, and as the President said in his veto objections to the bill, “ the power thus given to the commanding officer over all the people of each district is that of an absolute monarch,” and is, as I have shown, the paramount author ity of the government, to abolish, modify, control, or supercede any government that may exist in their respective districts until the first section of the bill is complied with- True, us Attorney General Stanberry says, in bis opinion, “With all its severity the right of electing their own officer* is still left with the people, and it must be preserved.” But, suppose, as in the case of the municipal authorities of Auguste, the law granting these election* ia dis regarded or not complied with, ia there any provision* mada for officers of the civil government—other than by election provided for in the first section of the Sherman Bill —to retain their offices beyond the specified time for which they were elected, except by the will of the district commander?
