All that is left for II to do, then, is to
propose an amendment to the Constitu-
ton that shall equalize representation,
pass an act excluding certain classes
of rebel leaders from Office, and admit
loyal Representative and Senators from
the Southern States All these measures
the President is committed to, and will
approve. And then, if all annoying leg
islation against the President on one
side, and all prescription in appointments
to Office by him on the other, shall end,
there will be harmony and unity in the
Government; the South will see and ac-
cept its destiny, and we shall get back
again to the good feeling which followed
the surrender of the Southern armies.
On the contrary, if the war goes on at
Washington, it is inevitable that the en-
tire South will fall under the control Of
the secesh leaders, and hostility to the
North and the Union will become fixed.
The consequences to the freedmen and
Union men of the South, and to the
peace and prosperity Of the whole
country, are fearful to contemplate.
Wo to those who had the opportunity to
prevent all these evils, but lacked both
the wisdom and courage to dc it.

Freedman's Bureau.

Although the freedmen of this State
are by our laws placed on perfect
equality with white citizens, for the pur-
pose of enforcing in the courts their
legal rights and redressing their wrongs,
the Bureau here continues its summary
adjudications, and within the scope of its
jurisdiction renders, without trial by
jury, judgments for money. The time
has passed when this institution can
prove of any utility in Georgia, unless it
be for the purpose of looking after and
providing for the support of such freed
people as are unable TO provide for them

of rebellion, and prohibiting, within fit
teen days after the date thereof all COM
mercial intercourse with the inhabitants.
On the LIST of September, 1861, when
freedom of intercourse expired, the
plaintiff was still in the Confederacy and
the defendant at home. The Judgment
remained unpaid. In January of the
present year, the defendant asked leave
to pay the amount of the judgment into
Court, with interest to September LIST,
1861, when right of intercourse with the
people of Virginia ceased.
The motion was made upon the ground
that at date there was no one to whom the
money could be paid, and that during
the war all debts due Southern creditors
were suspended The Court affirmed
this view of the case, and ordered that
payment be made of the principal, with
interest, until September 1861. This
was done in the absence of the defend
ant, and he subsequently applied to have
the order set aside, principally upon al
legations that the defendant had acted
disingenuously toward him by representa-
tions made since the original order of
the Court That tribunal, however, re-
fused to consider these questions, and,
after argument, reafirmed the original
order. The matter will be taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States for
final decision. The principle thus ad.
judged, if sustained, must operate in all
cases of judgments by Southern credit
ors against Northern debtors, and also
to claims for interest upon debts not yet
in suit If the doctrine of the Circuit
Court of Illinois is sustained, all inter
est upon Southern claims against North
ern debtors vas suspended after the
Presidents proclamation of non-inter-
course, and in many cases the difference
to debtors and creditors will be very
considerable. Chat Union,

Another Railroad Enterprise.

Vigorous efforts are now being made
TO construct a railroad to connect Mont
gomery with Decatur, Alabama. By ref
erence to the map it will be seen that the
completion of this gap will give a direct
and unbroken route from Louisville to
Mobile and Pensacola. 1t would be OF
immense advantage TO Alabama in Civ
ing her capital city direct access to the
provision-supplying territory of the
Northwest, and in furnishing an outlet,
in the same direction, for her vast min
eral products. The people of Alabama
will stand very much in their own light
if they fail to build the proposed road.

The Suppression Of Interest on Debts Due
Southern Creditors.

A very important question was decided
recently in the United States Circuit
Court Of Illinois, which may affect many
interests A resident Of Virginia had,
before the war, obtained a Judgment
against a citizen OF Illinois, which re-
mained unpaid at the outbreak Of the
rebellion. On the 18th day of July,
1861, Congress authorized the President,
bv proclamation, to forbid all CONNER
cial intercourse between that portion OF
the United States in rebellion and that
norton not in rebellioni and on the 10th
day of August following, the President
issued his proclamation under the act Of
Congress, declaring all Virginia east Of
