THE NEM nkORGIA CODE

Agent for the late 'Colored American.
THE NEW GEORGIA CODE,
a committee, appointed by resolution
Of the recent Convention, for the pur>
pose Of proposing and reporting to the
General Assembly, a system of laws, to
carry into effect the 5th paragraph of
the 5th section Of the I'd article Of the
Constitution, have reported system of
laws for the 6-meft I'd of persons OF
color. Aa
This code has been carefully prepared
by able lawyers, men who, we believe,
intended to actiwisely and secure justice
to the freedmen, but in our opinion, they
have labored in vain. What necessity is
there for negro code?' 1t is claim ed
that the freedmen require different laws
from white men. This depends upon the
intention Of the law makers. If they
desire to keep the freedmen always in
an inferior position and prevent their
improvement, it can be most effectually
accomplished by system Of laws, like
those prepared by the Commission. But,
if it is their intention to give the freed !
men fair play, and an opportunity to i'm
prove their condition, they have, we be-
lieve, acted unwisely, for they must be
aware, that the effect of such Legisla>
ton will be Injurious to all persons OF
color by denying to them rights, which
white men enjoy. We object to all such
distinction. ta 4He
It may be claimed with some reason,
that because the freedmen are Ignorant
and but recently emancipated, tho right
of suffrage should be denied them, but
upon no principle Of justice, can men
claim, that, for these reasons, civil rights
should be denied them. In the name OF
100000 colored persons in this State, We
demand that no distinction shall be made
before the law. We demand this be-
cause it is right, and because being citi>
zens, they are entitled to the rights, gran
Al
The admission Of co'ored lawyer, to
practice before the Supreme Court OF
the United States, was virtually decis-
sion that he was citizen of the United
States. If colored men are citizens,
they are entitled to all the privileges aud
iimmunities of citizens in the several
States See Sec. I'd, Article w, Con-
stition Of the United States. Therefore
laws, that are not applicable alike to all
citizens, are unconstitutional and void
unless the Constitution itself concede
the right to make such distinction. But
it does nowhere give the right to deprive
citizens Of their natural rights, except
as punishment for crime, whereof the
parties shall have been duly convicted.
Therefore no citizen can be deprived Of
the right to sue and testify, except as a
punishment for crime. In word, all
laws, which make such distinction, are
null and void.
We notice that bill is before the
Legislature Of this State ito exclude
freedmen from other States from this
State Such law would be clearly un.
constitutional and void; for, being citi'
gems, they are 'entitled to all privileges

In Savannah there are twenty-eight

So far as the action of the freed people
is concerned, there is everp thing to en-

Louisville Market,

LOUISVILLE, March B.-There was amuch bet
ter feeling in the market to-day for many of the
leading articles, with an advance obtained on sew
eral products which were actually declining last
evening. The improvement in currency and tho
very favorable tenor of the foreign adYices, have
had the influence te enhance prices and stimulate
the market. Mess pork has advanced fully one
dollar barrel on previous rates, sales having
been made at $24 IS, but most holders to-day ask
ing $25 50926 co.
The auction sales Of cotton. the first of the sea-
son, came of to-day at the warehouse of Porter,
Fairfax Co.. Main street, resulting, we think, as
n decided success. There was a good feel
ing manifested. with a large attendance
of buyers and spectators. and the bid
ding spirited. The offerings were SO bales
of the staple, all exposed TO view. With tho
samples fairly drawn and duly labelled. The cot
ton was not classified at all, but sold bale by bale
TO the highest bidder. the prices ranging from %
to 33l4 &C. and all taken.
Buyers who attended the sale remarked that
the cotton actually brought better prices than had
been offered at private sale during the week The
quality offered would classify good ordinary TO
low middling, and the sale was at an average OF
about 304c. The advantage TO the owner and
planter in these sales consists in, first. having
competition, and next. there is no reduction in
weight for dirt or pckings, each bale taken at its
weight. The sale took place at 10 A; NJ. prior tc
the reception of the foreign news, which was very
favorable for an advance.

BOARD OF HEALTH, NAsHvILLE.-We
notice from our exchanges that in view OF
the approaching sickly season, prompt &C
ton is being taken, in the cities and towns
all around US, by their respective Boards OF
Health, and where there are none, they are
being organized, and the most stringent san
itary measures adopted as precautionary
steps TO prevent the visitation of epidemic
diseases.
As we are informed that there is no such
Board in this city, We would urge the inn
mediate organization of one, and that the
most thorough hygienic II easures be taken,
while our main streets are undergoing tho
rough overhauling, which speaks much
for future good health of the city, the
most vital points are being neglected
these are the alleys leading from one street
20 another and the yards attached TO build
ings fronting the different streets. Limited
observation has impressed us with the fact
that there is already an accumulation Of
filth in these localities sufficient TO invite the
most fearful epidemics The atmosphere Is
impregnated with deadly gases arising from
such deposits in these localities. Suitable
men should be appointed to examine alleys
and back yards, and compel the removal o.
everything which would have even a remote
tendency 20 invite the visitation of infec-
tious or contagious diseases. Will not SONS
such action be taken by our city authorities?
Delay may prove fatal.

THE SPRING TRADE.-It is a gratifying
feature in the present condition Of the coun-
try that, amidst all the embarrassments in
cident 20 our recent troubles, social, political
and commercial, our business men are man
ifesting degree Of energy and enterprise
determination TO succeed-unparalleled in
the history of the past. We speak particu-
larry of Nashville. No longer relying upon
the mere advantages Of capital and position,
they have determined 10 rival all competing
markets by a system Of low prices and quick
sales that will leave no longer doubt in the
minds of the trade south Of them, that this
is their legitimate point of supply. 1t was
in the furtherance Of this determination that
they have manifested 30 much feeling in
seeking the correction Of the railroad abuses
upon the subject Of freights They feel
their ability to enter upon sue
cessfully rivalry with all markets north
Of them, and ask for nothing but an
open field and an equal footing. They are
laboring not so much for present profits as
n proper development Of their advantages
and resources, looking to ultimate results as
n sufficient reward for their labors. We are
gratifed that so liberal view has taken pos
session Of their minds and is shaping their
action. A more narrow-minded policy
might better su6serve immediate personal
interests, but il would not answer thoselarger
interests which embrace the future, the pro-
per development Of which is a matter Of just
pride as well As Of profit.
We have been led TO these remarks by oul
observations in passing through the princi'
pal business streets Of the city. Trade has
been dull and our financial prospects uncer.
tain; nevertheless, everywhere we see
preparation for an active spring business
Houses are being painted, show windows
cleaned up, goods received and opened out
for inspection, whilst general determination
is expressed 10 show the local and Southern
dealers that it is their interest, as it should
be their pride, TO make Nashville their place
of trade. We are gratifed to observe that
as the scale Of prices have been lowered
north of US, they have made correspond
ing reduction here. In groceries, dry goods
drugs, furniture, hardware, wall paper and
variety stores of every description, we find
.the question asked, not what can we sell al
with reasonable profit, but what is neces.
sary to make ours better market than any
other to those who should naturally come
here. No one can ignore the fact that Nash
Vile has epey advantage to make her the
exclusive trading point of large portion Of
the Southern people, and this becoming
spirit Of enterprise on the part of her mer'
chants cannot fail to have the desired effect
Men will follow their interests.
