AN EARNEST APPEAL. tfo would remind those who are indebt ed to the Southern Watchman for subscrip tions, Jte., that, it costa money to carry on our business, and we are compelled to have some to meet our running expenses We are in earnest about this matter, and trust that those indebted will come for ward at once and pay at least a portion of what they owe. Yellow Fever. This terrible scourge has made its ap pearance at Fernandiua, Florida, and the Mayor has telegraphed to Savannah for medical aid and nurses, which have been promptly sent forward by that city. Owiug to the advancement of the season, and the precautions taken to prevent its spread, it is thought that it will be con fined to that locality, and we sincerely | trust it will shortly disappear altogether. Later.—Thirty new cases of yellow fever wore reported in Feniiiiidina o>, Saturday eveniug. lu some cases whole families are down, aud the fever is spreading rap idly. An Important Legal Derision. The Supreme Court of the United States recently rendered a decision in the case of J. K. Place & Co., of New York, which will prevent dishonest business men from tiling voluntary petitions in bankruptcy. Place had taken money from bis business, invested it in ''<*al estate, erected a prince ly house on Fn.n Avenue, furnished it in line style, settled the same to his wife, aud then went into bankruptcy. His creditors questioned the right ol Place thus to use their money lor Ins own per sonal purposes, and insisted that the pro perty should be sold and the proceeds reckoned with the other assets. Mrs. Piace, through her attorneys, objected, and the case was carried through the lo cal Court, the Circuit Court,'and up to the Uuited States Supreme Court, where it was lluully decided, that Court holding, that inasmuch as the property was put chased with money taken from the busi ness, it rightfully belongs to to the cred itors, its transference to the wile not withstanding. This decisiou by the highest tribunal ii the land is very important to the wives of all business men, who may fancy that property thus secured to them by their husbands is safe from all legal process It is also important to business men them selves, showing them that such schemes to defraud their lawful creditors will not hold good in law. THK UNIVERSITY OK GEORGIA AND ITS INDORSERS. The Southern Mutual Eire Insurance Company. The Southern Mutual Insurance Company of Atheus, Georgia, has had a career ol sudoess rarely, If ever, etioalled in this country or elsewhere. Chartered iu 1847, on the mutual plan, with the purpose ot effecting insurance combining sound in demnity with the least possible cost to the policy holder, it has, under wise manage ment, without capital stock to further its success iu the beginning or share its profits afterwards, distributed among its policy holders and paid off dividends aggregating over 81,000,000, besides meeting its cur rent expenses aud losses, and has now ac cumulated assets iu excess of 8750,000, at their cash market value, so iuvested that, ii neccessary, they could be converted into cash within thirty days. Within the past 11 years, siuee May 1860 the coinpauy has more than trebled its iissets, paid iu dividends to its policy holders $767,828 64 (nearly all in Georgia) aud met its losses amounting to nearly 8650,000 00 with such fairness and prompt ness as even to draw from the legislature of Georgia, iu their late discussions of in surance matters the highest commendati ons. Its dividends to policy holders the past three years has bceu fifty per ccnf. of the premiums paid on annual policies, while its assets have increased, yearly $200,000,- oo within the same time. All thishas been accomplished out of business coutiued to Georgia. .Since 1870 tho company has had no agency outside the Stalo. The highest success ever won by a fire Iusurauco Com pany within our knowledge is conveyed by tiie last annual statement of the Southern i Mutual—the interest fund alone exceeding the losses for the past year. GEORCrl AULT JEMS. , bodies, to serve for two years, all to have Major Moore, of Atlanta, has been inter-| rights of members of both Houses, viewed by a reporter of the Constitution. [ ..Though the hard times since jof dollars ah- premtums paid Notwithstanding the immense amount of unfrieudly criticism to which the Universi ty has been subjected during the last three years, its indorsement by properly consti tuted authorities are stronger to-day than they have ever been. These indorsements are three, viz: 1. The Board of Visitors. This Board consisted of ten gentlemen selected by the Governor from various parts of the State. Eight of them were practical teachers, men of ability and experience; one was a law yer and one an editor. They remained in Athens eight days during Term time. They saw the institution iu actual operation, and made a most thorough and seaicbing in vestigation of its history for the past year, and of its present condition. The institu tion was probably never before subjected to so rigid a scrutiny. Tho report of this thoroughly informed and impartial Board is in the bigest degree complimentary. The most ardent friends of the present ad ministration must be hard to please if they are not satisfied with the report ot this Hoard. 2- The Board of Trustees. This body con sists ot thirty-two of the wisest, ablest and best men in the State. It would be impos sible to duplicate this body in Georgia. The samo number of men, equally known, equally honored, and equally confided iu, cannot be found within our borders. This Board was in session eight days, and the result of their deliberations is, that the best thing they can do for the institution is to ht it alone ; aud thus they indorsed thiugsas they are. Tree, they dropped one Professor whose term of office had expired and they appointed a committee to report at the next meeting on some changes iu the course of study but this last was done at the request of tho Chaucellor. 3. TDe convention. this body tresfl Iffiiu the people, convened two days after the Board of Visitors to the University had completed their labors, and was in session during tho whole time that the Board of Trustees were together. The Convention discussed the University questiou. The members had every opportunity to be thoroughly informed as to its coudition aud status. 8ix of the Trustees were members of the Convention, to-wit: Jenkins, Law- ton, Hammond, Toombs, Seward and Screv- eu. Tho action of the Convention is more lavorable to tho University than any that has been taken by any Legislative body in the State for many years. With the three indorsements above nam ed, we think that the friends of the Uni versity and of the present administration may well be satisfied. We know of our own knowledge that the morale of the stu dents has been steadily improving for sev eral years, and that the discipline, while extremely mild is yet very ‘efficient and thorough. After all that has been said, oar indorsement is ot little avail, still, as iwe like to to iu good company, we add oijr name to those of the Board of Visitors, the Board of Trustees and the Convention • '• , , Brigham Young, the Mormon Prophet, While there lias been uubably 8750,00a to Geo: ipemtioiio ol this cuaiftau not even approxlm otits accruing to thi through its agency ;i be credited. To compete with all other co have been forced of rates, ospeciall^Eiflkbo: risks, thus saving uually to our people" to other companies. With such men ns tho Hon. Y. L. G. Harris is president, Col. Stevens Thomas as sec retary, assisted by Capt. W. VV. Thomas, adjuster, aud Arthur K. Griffetli, book-keep er, and an experienced board of directors, the past economy, conservatism aud lofty integrity of management may be accepted as safe guarantees of good faith to e very policy-bolder and of the continued increas ing success of tiie company. We take pleasure in copying from the Atlanta Constitution, the foregoing com plimentary notice of an institution located in this city. It is a well-merited tribute to a company, tho success of which re flects the highest honor upon those who manage its affairs, aud render it, in tact, a public blessing to to the people of Geor gia. Endorsing most cordially all that is said by our respected contemporary, we have yet to add another signal proof of the beuitieeut administration of this long established company. It is known that tho profits of this com pany are divided annually between its policy holders, and for these profits some eighteen or twenty issues of dividend scrip have been made. Many of the earli er issues of tliis scrip remain unpaid, hav ing bceu destroyed during the war, or lost Bight of in that period, when the funds on hand did not justify its payment. Now, that the means ot the Company have be come ample for the purpose, the Board ol Directors, regarding themselves as tho agents of all parties in interest, have had circulars' prepared and sent out to the owuers of tho unpaid first ten issues of this dividend Scrip, reminding them of their rights, and furnishing forms, which, wheu property filled, euuble each person entitled to receive the amount duo them. These unpaid Scrip amount to more than fitly thousand dollars, aud will be that much gained by the owners, who have lost all knowledge ol such interest, and to many hundreds of whom in their altered circumstances it will be a most welcome boon. This is the crowing compliment, if any such were needed, to the faithful aud jiitliuious management of this trustworthy Insurance Company. Tho Major states to the reporter that the soil around Atlanta is rich with gold dust; that ho has a mill about ready forgrindug, on Collins street, and that in a short while he expects to be turning out gold in great quantities. A negro attempted to commit a rape on a young white girl in Miller county, last week. He was arrested, had a committal trial, and in default of bond, was commit ted to jail. On the same night the jail was broken open, the negro taken out, and he was huug to a joist of an unfinished color ed church in that county. Dr. J. F.

Then Mr. Ticknor writes to Charles Lytell, under datcNovember, 1873: There has been great snffering in all our States, and in some, like Indiana and Illi nois, a proper currency has disappeared, and men has been reduced to barter in the common business of every-day life. What yon saw in Philadelphia was nothing to the crushing insolvency of the West and South. The very post office felt the effects of it—men with largo landed es tates being unable to take out the letters, because they could not pay the postage in anything the government officers could properly receive vis to tho Uuited States Senate. w .

GENERAL NEWS. The JIur»hnl»kip* While there are and have been a great many candidates for the Marshalship of Georgia, we have heretofore said but little about tho merits or demerits of any o them ; but now that tho time approaches when we think a successor to Mr Smytho will bo appointed, wo do not hositate to say, intermingling with a great many peo ple of tho 9th District, that our friend, Col. P. F. Lawsbe, of the Gainesville Southron, is the decided choice of the best people oi all classes for the position. There is no man in upper Georgia who has more energy, activity and go-ahead in him than he; aud wo do not know any one of the many applicants who is better qualified, in any particular, to fill the office, lu addition, tho Col. is the only applicant from the 9th District, where most of the duties of the Marshal are performed—un less it is true that Gen. Longstreet is ap plying, aud ji he is, the people of Georgia would not approve of his appointment at this time. Therefore, we hope to see out friend Lawshe wiu the prize. Death of Dr. J. F. Bozeman. Dr. J. F. Bozeman, a prominent citizen of Atlanta, who has held many positions of treat, and who was regarded as one of the most able financiers in the State, died at his residence in Atlanta on Monday of last week, from the effects of a violent attack of cholera morbus. Duriug the troubles which arose during the adminis tration of Mr. Jones as treasurer, in refer ence to the State finances, Dr. B. was ap pointed as a special agent of the State, by Gov. Smith, to get the matter into proper shape. This he did in ad admirable man ner, and rendered the State a very great service. The death of such a man, at this time, is a public calamity, aud we agree with the Constitution, that 14 notouly in Atlanta, but all over Gedrgia, there will be sadness at the announcement of the death of this noble, devoted man, who has done so much for bis State.” ^ Appleton’s Journal.

This soap is highly recommeuded for all purposes, and is free from the in jurious ingredients of diseased animal fat used in making the ordinary soaps by Northern Manufacturers, as well as the various other adulterations. This is a, new use for cotton seed, and will it properly oucouraged, add greatly to the value «1 our great staple. The hulls ot the seed are sold for fertilizing purposes. The Avalanche says of the soap: “ Its great quality of purity cannot be too highly spokeu of. The soap is made of nothing else than the purest oil. as pure as pure can be, aud is free from all pos sible iiijury* The soap is of pretty hues, has a pleasant odor and its cWOnsing powers cannot be exceeded by any soap that is made.

Editors: While I must respect the reason published in your last issue why the Watchman does not take positive po sition as to the Capital Question which is now agitating tiie public mind in Geor gia, I am satisfied that with your accus tomed liberally and fairness you will al low citizeus to discuss tiie natter in your columns. My opinion is that tho best in terest of the tax payers of Georgia demand that Miiltdgevillo shall again be the Capital. But other men may think otherwise. Let the questiou he • discussed fairly on its merits, aud let no attempt be made by the advocates of either side to influence the votes of the people by false representa tions aud delusive arguments. The effort is being made by some of the friends of Atlanta to ilifluse the belief that in case that city shall bo chosen as the capital, her citizeus will pay all tho expense of building a uew State House aud other re quisite public buildings, and that the peo ple at large will not have to pay one dol lar. This statement is untrue. Atlanta has not promised to do anything of tho kind. She is not under any obligations, express or implied, to contribute a single brick to tho building of the now capitol. She did offer, in a letter written by some of her corporation to the Constitu tional Convention, that if Atlauta were made the capital ly the Convention she would convey to the State the lot ou which her city hall now stands, and would build a State House “ as good as that at Milledge- ville.” But since tho Convention did not establish tho capital in Atlanta by the Con stitution, but left the matter to the deci sion of the people, of course the otter of the Mayor, and a few of the City Council, falls to the ground, since the Convention refused to give the consideration on which it was based. Then again, the otter, if such it may be called, could never bo car ried out. The Mayor aud Council of At lanta have no authority to make presents of the city property for any purpose, to the State or to any one else; and the charter of Atlanta expressly forbids her adding to her bonded debt. The truth is, Atlanta could not if she would and would not if she could, build a new State House “as good as that at Milledgevjllo,” or any new State House at all,'and the offer to do so was nothing but a trick to deceive tbe Conyentfpn. The trick having failed, the attempt is flow made to make the voters of Georgia believe that the offer still exists, and that if they will select Atlanta she will bear all the expense. Now, Messrs. Editors, I want our people to vote on this question with their eyes wide open and with a full knowledge of the facts. They should not be deceived and cheatefi. I want them therefore tp know, that First. The offer of Mayor Angier and some of the City Council to donate the city hall lot, and build a capitol “as good as that at Milledgeville,” was made on the dis tinct condition that Atlanta shotild be de clared the seat of government by the new Constitution, and as the Convention did not accept the. offer, it no longer exists. Second. Atlanta hab no authority to carry out any such promise. Her charter for- bidsit. Third. The two foregoing statements being undeniably true, the effort to make the people believe the contrary is an un worthy subterfuge to obtain their votes un der false pretenses. I may, with your permission, discuss this question on other grounds next week. Hy present otjeot is to pveyent any voter • li .1 '• * that that city will build tho capitol at her expense. She is under no promise to do so, aud if she were, the law would uot al low her to keep it. Veritas. The Ohio and Pcuusjlvauia Campaigns. The Washington correspondent ot the Baltimore Sun says: “ Before aud up to the time of the great railroad strikes no shrewd politicians of either party had tho least doubt that Ohio and Pennsylvania would both go Democratic this fall. But in consequence of the convulsion into which the whole country was plunged in July last new elements have been brought into the politics ot those as well as of other States. Therefore it is recognized now that the result in either is problematical, although, at this time, the chances seem to be in favor of the Republicans in both. In Ohio particularly tho Republicans ap pear to be conscious of this, and have been making steady efforts to recover from the mistakes made in their platform and the first speech of Judge West, their uominte for Govenor. They are conducting their canvass upon a higher plaue than that ot the Democrats. The President is taking intense interest in the progress ot the campaign, aud duriug his stay in Ohio his aim will bo to go to the very verge of de corum in throwing his wholo influence in behalf of the Republican candidates. The action of the President has already subjec ted him to some criticism, but tliis will not deter him, as it is a matter of almost vim importance to him that he be sustained it hisown State. What helps the Republicans in Ohio very materially, is the refusal of an influential and highly respectable minority ot tho Democratic party of that State ti follow the wild and senseless liiiHuics ol the inflationists ol the Cincinnati school.” Estate of Mary M.
