Judpe Bigham's Letter,

We commend to the careful and
candid consideration of our readers
the admirable letter of the Hon. b. I'll.
Bigham, which We publish to-day.
The calm yet forcible manner in which
he maintains the cause of reconstruc-
ton, is in admirable contrast to the
yituperation and abuse which consti-
tute the staple of the arguments Of
those who maintain opposite opinions
on this important subject.
To men like Judge Bigham, who
have heretofore been honored by the
people in offices of high trust and
honor, and now have nothing to ex-
pcct personally by the adoption OF
the terms which they advocate, no
other than the most mseltish and
patriotic motives can be attributed.
Such men, however reluctant to en-
counter the storm. of Misrepresentation
and slander that is sure to pour down
upon all those who dare to differ from
the rampant and raging champions
of anarchy, vet feel themselves forced
by an imperative sense OF duty to
their fellow citizens, to endeavor to
turn them into the path that leads to
safety and prosperity. We hope the
time is at hand when the voices of
many more men Of practical sense,
experience and wisdom will be heard
in our State--men who are not to be
borne down by the insane clamors OF
the violent, or daunted by unmeaning

authority to district the. State, giving
to those counties that have the re-
quisitc number of registered voters,
one or two members, and throwing
together two or more counties which
singly may fall short of the number.
The data for any calculations are
very imperfect, but we suppose that
the number of voters in Georgia will
be nearly doubled by the addition of
the colored citizens if so, the repre-
sentation in the Convention will be
at the rate of one delegate to about
twelve hundred voters.
There are other important points
to be settled and arrangements made
between this time and the election,
but we throw together these, to show
that the work of reconstruction is
hardly commenced by registration,
and that vast amount of labor has
to be performed, even when registra-
tion is closed.

Removal of Gen, Sheridan.

The news of the removal of General
Sheridan from the command of the
Fifth Military District, comprising
Louisiana and Texas, will doubtless
add to the excitement caused by the
ejectment of Mr.. Stanton, but as it was
well understood that the President
dispossessed Mr.. Stanton principally
for the purpose of getting rid of Sher-
idan and other officers Objectionable
to him, the removal Of Sheridan will
cause but littlc~surprise. 1t will &C
far however to make "Little Phir' 6
prominent candidate for the Presi
dency.

pointed in his place, is noted for hi
tirmncss and moderation, as well a

Speech of Ex-Governor Wise.

RlcHMoND, August ~. -Ex-Governor
Wise delivered an address to day at the
Washington and Henry Academy. He
said: We all now owed national allegiance
to our country, and any oath to support
was a violation Of That constitution.
There is now bcing made an effort to
make white frecmeu South subject to
the domination Of black freedmen.
Against this VIC must appeal 10 The
white masses Of the North, who will not
permit sacrifice Of natures laws 10
political prejudice. The whites Of New
England, the Middle States aud Europe
must not be kept out Of the South by
black r;!lc., This is a white mans
laud, and must be kept open for thc
whites. He said that to avoid the nn-
tional dishonor Of reputation, the in
tercst on the national bonds must be
reduced to four and half per cent.
That interest taxed. aud the whole debt
consolidated, the rich would stop hoard
ing bonds. He urged his audience to
renew their allegiance to their country,
and never desert the constitution. To
preserve the purity Of their race and
blood, aud labor increasingly to live in
peace and plenty.

Voting Population of the Excluded
Southern States.

4 table is published, complied from
the United States census of 1860, show
ing the number of white and colorcd
voters, as they would stand were no
persons DISTINGUISHED. From this table
it appears that the total white voting
population in these States is 1,01G,Jt0;
colorcd, TAI, ,545-whitc majority, 2G9,-
16J. The colorcd voters have majorities
in two States - South Carolina and
Mississippi: in the first, 1881; in the
last, 1861. Of the fifty Congressional
districts in the ten excluded States, by
the apportionmcnt of 1860, the blacks
have maiorities in eighteen, whereof
three arc in Virginia, one in North
Carolina, five in South Carolina, three
in Georgia, one in Alabama, two i'll
Louisiana, three in Mississippi A
census taken i'll the last named State
since the close of the war shows Il
decrease of 10,439 whites. and Of
GG, 14G blacks, leaving majority for
the latter of 3,619, and giving to the
whites majorities in all but one Of the
Congressional districts.
These figures. founded on census
taken 50 long ago, and with SO many
causes operating since to disturb the
laws of population, are, of course, not
very reliable, but they furnish some
data for calculation, if VIC can admit
those or similar causes to have operated
as forcibly upon one race as upon the
other. If we can suppose that the
destruction of life by the war and its
consequences, to have been repaired
by the natural increase of the popula-
ton, the relative numbers of the voting
population would remain almost un-
changed. The numbers of whites dis
franchised, or lost in the war, may be
balanced by the asserted greater death
rate among the colored population.
The registry lists Of the different
States and Congressional districts,
when collatcd and published, will be
the best data from which to form an
estimate of the proportionate voting
population of each race.

Organize and Register.

We again call the attention of orr
readers to tho Importance Of having
their names registered. BE sure 70
see that every man who will vote the

tered, DO not fail.
In order to make it absolutely cer-
tGin that all Of our friends have been

such Clubs Oh the outside Of sur paper.
In organizing Clubs, we wonld
advise that few true men come to-
gether. choose temporary officers and
adopt the constitution. After that.
let names be proposed and referred to
a committee who shall examine to see
if they are true men. Let the Com
miltce report whether they arc friends
or enemies. Then have 4 vote of the
Club, and let 4 majority decide. II q
majority vote against the candidate.
he is, Of course, rejected if 4 majority
vote for. then have him sign the Con

other members. Allow none but
members ol Republican Clubs to At

keep out persons not members When
sufficient number Of persons have
been elected. have permanent officers
elected in accordance with the Consti
tutiOn.

The Situation i'll Alabama.

1t is the deliberate purpose, says the
Montgomery 1drertiser, Of the people
of Alabama to push forward the work
of reconstruction until it reaches a
point of complete success. This pur-
pose becomes firmer and more deter
mined every day. The people arc not
only ANXIOUS for a settlement OF our
political troubles, but they are resolved
to have it. Success is already not only
fully assured, but there is a growing
increase in the number of those who
are to consummate the work. OF this
we see striking evidences daily. Nor
is this to be wondered at. Indeed it
would be very surprising if it were
otherwise. People who reflect upon
this subject, and keep themselves free
from passion and party rancor, will
have no difficulty i'll reaching proper
conclusion in regard to it. The case
is perfectly plain. Political tranquil
ity in the country is matter of abso-
lutte necessity. We are now at the
mercy of an angry tempest. Life and
property are quivering before a mighty
whirlwind, and if it be not speedily
arrested, no one can tell who or what
may be carried away in its devastating
sweep.
This being the actual condition Of
things, people will very naturally be
induced to reject Sclf-intcrcst will
induce men to consider. and consider
seriously, what is best to be done ut
such Il time. There will be nothing
but instability and distrust as long as
these ten States arc held in their
present anomalous conditions. They
are neither in the Union nor out Of
it. AS political communities, they arc
neither dead nor alive. Their pre-
else relation to each other and to the
Union is inde8cribablc But, how
ever difficult it may be to define their
real status, there is not the least diff
Guilty in comprehending the necessity
| for relief from the discouragemcnts
and troubles that arc inseparably
associated with our present situation.
To remain as we are, is to bring upon
ourselves certain ruin.
People see this and, at the same
ltime, they see there is but one mode
of escape. That mode is to seek out
the path which leads most directly
into the Union. A short and easy
one is found in the pending recon
struction plan. This is manifest to
all who are not blinded by intempcr-
ate partizanship. But the masses OF
the people arc not partizans, and
hence it is that they are rallying in
almost solid phalanX to the standard
Of reconstruction.

An Acrobatic Performer

Everybody knows the New York
Herald ; everybody knows that it is
a good newspaper, and everybody
ought to know that it has neither
politics or a public policy. Many
people believe that it has great infiu-
ence, because they see it frequently
quoted, and because it has a repu-
tation for shrswd foresight in politi-
cal matters. They suppose that it
governs public opinion, which is
about as reasonable as it would be to
suppose that it was the weather cock
that made the wind blow. If the
HcraM is any indication of public
opinion, the changes in public opinion
must be very violent, sudden, and
frequent.
The Her"M just now has taken IL
sudden notion to side partially with
the disunIonists and AIr. johnson,
and to be horritied at what it calls
'nigger supremacy > but its sinceri-
ty III deprecating the dangers of con-
terrlng suffrage on the freedmen may
be estimated when it is known that it
favors reconstruction on the plan
of Congress. In other words, the
Herald, true to its inconsistency,
favors the execution of the law and
condemns its proyisions-it wants
the law put in force, but wants the
officers who attempt to do 50 turned
out at once!
The opponents of the Congressional
plan of reconstruction must be very
hungry for crumbs of comfort when
they seek for them in the Heiuld.
They may find some consolation in it
to-day, and tomorrow find nothing
but bitter pills, such rs the Herald
abounded in a few weeks since: and
as to its being any indication OF
public opinion at the North, any one
who has remarked its course, for any
length of time, must know that it
has been as often wrong as right.
How could it be otherwise when it
has been on all sides, upon all ques-
tions, and for and against every po-
litical party?

Reconstruction and the Qualifica.
tion of Delegates to the Con-
Vention.

As 1t Is very we'll settled that the
people of Georgia will determine i'll
favor of holding q Convention under
the reconstruction laws, questions be-
Gin to arise As to the qualification OF
delegates.
One has already been mootcd-
whether a delegate will be required to
take the oath Of office prescribed by
the act Of July ,. 1862, commonly
called the 'iron clad" oath. We
think there can be little doubt on that
point. The office of delegate is one
created by the paramount authority OF
the United States, a delegate is an
officer of the United States, and as
such must be required to take the
same oath, as are all officers
Another question will come up in
time, whether a delegate must neccs-
sarily be Il resident Of the county OF
district he represents. The law is
silent on this point. There is nothing
i'll the reconstruction laws which re-
quircs the delegate to be u resident of
the county, and Judging from the
practice i'll Georgia and other States
Cif such practice is prccedcnD, it
will not hc improper, if II suitable
candidate cannot be found in any
county. for the voters to select, vote
for, and elect a person from any other
county to represent them.
No provision is made i'll the laws
for those persons who, between the
time OF their registration and the time
of the election of delegates for the
Convention, or the time to vote for
the ratification of the Constitution
formed by the Convention may remove
or wish to remove from the precinct
in which they are registered Much
of our population is very migratory,
and it may happen that, through this
cause, reconstruction may be defeated
A reading of the law indicates that
each voter must vote at the precinct
where he has been registered, and
none other. y removal to such dis
tance from that precinct that attend
ance would he impossible or so incon-
yenient as to prevent his presence,
would of course disfranchisc him. as
cffectually as though he had never
been registered.
Some authoritative decision should
be promulgated on these and similar
points In these, as in some other
respects the reconstruction laws are
deficient. They are careful in pre-
scribing the qualifications Of voters,
but leave to inference and analogy the
qualifications of delegates. which are
of as much or more Importance, and
they certainly should make provision
by granting certificates or otherwise,
tor persons who cannot vote at the
precincts where they arc registered.
County lines, as such, are not recog-
nizcd by the reconstruction acts,
except for convenience. Representa-
ton in the Convention is founded
entirely on population, somewhat rs
in our State Senatorial and Congress
sional Districts. The whole number
Of voters has to be divided by the
number of members in the most
numerous branch of the Legislature
in 1860, and the delegates arc to
be apportioned accordingly. OF
course it will be the duty of those in
