Zeilin &■ Cos. —Gents : I am directed by my uncle, Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, to say to you that he is inclined to believe that he has derived some benefit from the use of SIMMONS’ LIVER REGU LATOR, and that he wishes to give it a further trial. You will therefore pleat*) t* ad to his address two more v.ghTcu Y.O ij t jj, ! LET SECTIONAL JEALOUSY IN GEORGIA CEASE. Jt is said that aspirants for the Bu j preme Court Bench, and the United I States Senate, are pressing their claims on account of the section in j which they live. This course never j will do any good. We expressed our views fully upon this subject last winter, when, in a portion of the | press, the generous and manly con j duct, eminent talents and fitness for j that Bench, of our townsman, Mr. I Fielder, were acknowledged and j highly commended; and it was stated that the only objection to him j was that he lived in the same section of the State from which Gov. Bul lock appointed Judge McKay. We repeat tliem now, and ask our breth ren of the press in the upper part of j the State to print them in justice to j our distinguished fellow-citizen to j whom our people are attached. The appointments should be made, whether by the Governor oe the Leg islature, in the interest of the State — ! and not of individual aspirants—to | promote the public service, and not the interest of particular men orfam- I Hies, or to pander to any locality. The undisputed fact that the whole j South-West—below Muscogee and j Bibb—embracing nearly forty coun ; ties, many of them among the largest ! tax-paying in the State, never had a ; Foreign M inister or Consul, Federal | Marshal, Judge, Cabinet-Officer, or | Senator, or Governor of the State, ; and but two out of fifteen Judges of j the Supreme Court, both of whom removed to Atlanta as soon asap ! pointed—Lyon and McKay ; the Jat ; ter not representing perhaps five I white men toa county in this section, ! when appointed, does not of itself ! < >*i us to either appointment now, j .nli>s we offer the proper man for j it. But it certainly is a good reply | to the objection urgi and that the man | lives in this part of the State. For a Supreme Court Judge, we i should have a man ol natural ability, | large experience at the bar, general learning, and comprehensive under standing of men and things, of in dustry, energy, laborious habits, so briety, integrity, moral worth and firmness, of suitable age to warrant the hope of usefulness through the term of twelve years—and withal a : man devoted to popular rights, in j sympathy with the people, and f whose appointment, when announe | ed, will meet the approval of the le- I gal profession in every part of the ; State. 'lhis section and this town offers a ! man, who, those best qualified to j judge, think, possesses these qualifi- I cations in no ordinary degree. 11 I Gov. Smith can find a man else where who seeks the position, who possesses more of them or in a high er degree, let him be appointed without murmur from us. If he cannot, then let the honor fall grace fully upon our friend; and Gov. Smith will thus recognize the emi nent merit of a man, who aside from his merit, has done as much as any one man in the State to promote, sus tain and popularize him. But if the Governor thinks differ ently, lie is the Executive, to whom both the power and discretion are by law confided; and should he see tit to appoint another, he should not be embarrassed in his purpose to do so— and our friend will be the last man to harshly judge his motives. But if in that event, Representa tives and Senators in this section, in Middle Ga. where he was reared, and in North Ga. where he lived so long, should sec fit to put him forward for the Federal Senate, we hope we shall not again hear the objection tiiat he live.- in South-west Georgia. For in not only possesses the qual ifications for the bench which we have described, but combines gifts us a writer and speaker, with a power of analysis and irresistible logic, which would at once make him the peer, if not superior in debate, of the ablest Grant leaders in the Senate.— He is not the only man in Ga. thus gifted, by far; but is one of a very small number, who combine with such gifts, personal popularity in ev ery part of the State to secure an elec tion. All will agree that at this juncture we should select a Senator from that class. • Again we repeat, let our Senator and Judge be selected for merit and qualifications for the service to be rendered, and without reference to the section in which they live. In compliance with the request of its editor, we publish the above edit orial from the Cuthbert Appeal, and ask its perusal by our readers. We have nothing to allege against the position taken in the article as to the principle upon which selections for office should be made, but fully agree with him, that “merit, and qualifica tions for the service to be rendered,” are always to be regarded as of the first importance. The article, it will be observed, is written by the Appeal for the express purpose of advancing the interests of Col. Fielder, first, as a candidate for the Supreme Bench, and then, in the event of a failure there, that he should bo elected to the United States Senate. All this is perfectly legitimate, and evidences a very strong respect, personally, lor Col. Fielder, and a very high regard for his talents, and is creditable, both to the editor and the Colonel. Far be it from us to say any thing which may in the least detract from the es timate in which Col. Fielder is hold by the Appeal, nor do we intend so to do, by what we have to say. We suppose that we are as free from sec tional jealousy as is common to man, and while warmly attached to our own region of the State, would be perfectly willing to see any other of the qualified citizens of Georgia reap all the honors and emoluments of of fice, could We present no man of our own who was as well qualified. But we are candid, also, in saying that when we can present such candidates as are by all tlieir personal, legal, and political acquirements and character well adapted for the high posts of honor and trust in the State, we do not know but what, like all other men, we should feel that for these, our influence and our votes would, and should be given. We have no jealousy of Southwest Georgia, or any other portion of the State. If Southwest Georgia has had two Judg es of the Supreme Court, one of whom (Judge McKay) is now on the bench, while North Georgia has never had but one; all right, we have nothing to object, and if at the same time, we have never had any “foreign minis ter or consul, Federal Marshal, Judge, Cabinet officer, or Senator, or Govern or of the State,” although our section of the State is pre-eminently a “white man’s country,” all right, we have no objection to make, not a word of unkiudness to speak—if “Sparta hath many a worthier son” than we, we rejoice at the fact, and claim our part in the honors and distinction of each and all of her sons, whether from this or that portion of the State. But we too have men of our own whom we justly prize, whose elevation to office would reflect honor on the State, and whom it would gratify our people to see reaping the rewards of laborious zeal and eminent talents. We think we hazard nothing in saying that no man in the State would bring more legal learning to the Supreme bench, all the qualities which characterize an able jurist, wise, prudent, well read and just, than Ihe Hon. Warren Akin, a citizen of Cartersville, and long known as the leading lawyer of the Cherokee country. The Cuthbert Mml, mX CfifiU f'jeWwr, totay, would at once and fully endorse the qualifications of this gentleman, while | the whole bar, without exception, : would be pleased at his accession to I the Supreme Bench. Among the names presented for the United States Senatorship, two are prominently before the public, the I Hon. John W. H. Underwood and I Gen. John B. Gordon. Both of these : are North Georgia men. The first, eminent as a lawyer, skillful, learned and eloquent, the peer of the ablest ! in the State, and as a politician, hav ing his history interwoven with that r Georgia for twenty years past.— 1 he other, a scholar, politician and soldier, brave, honorable, eloquent, accomplished. The trusted friend of Lee, the worthy successor of, and scarcely inferior to the renowned Stonewall Jackson. These are of us, and among us, and are ours, while at the same time they are Georgians too. While, therefore, we publish, with great eherfulness, the article of the Appeal, we. do so not only to comply with his request, and by it to give w hatever benefit the publication of it in our columns may be to Col. Field er himself, but at the same time say ing for ourselves that here in North Georgia, whose claims, if she has any, to promotion and office in the State have scarcely ever been recognized, we too have men, who are worthy to wear the ermine, or grace the fo rum of the Senate. COL. P. a/LAWSON. It was with great pleasure that we had the privilege of grasping the hand of our old friend, Col. Lawson, yesterday. For many years one of the most popular and energetic gentle men of Middle Georgia. By success ful industry and unblemished integ rity, lie succeeded, before the war, in amassing a large property, however, was swept away by its re sults. Since that time he has gone into business with the house of Flash, Lewis & Cos., of New Orleans, and is at this time passing through this State as one of their traveling agents. Col. Law son is a man of piety and probity and great intelligence, and it affords us great pleasure to recom mend him to the favorable notice of the community at large. The house in which he is engaged have done well in securing the services of a gen tleman, so widely known, popular and capable as Col. Lawson. MON. J. W. H. UNDERWOOD. Among the several gentlemen who are candidates for the United States Senatorship, at the session of the next Legislature, Judge Underwood is one of the most prominent. He is justly recognized as one of the ablest lawyers in the State, and ranks with the foremost in his profession. In the late political campaign he did yeoman service, and for ability and energy was recognized everywhere as one of the most active and effec tive speakers of the party. Intimate with the political history of the coun try, a man of fine presence, of genial qualities and commanding eloquence, the State would suffer no loss should she see proper to elevate him to a seat in the Senate. A “HOME PARTY.” OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. In our last week’s issue we publish ed the following: “In view of that state of affairs at the North which the defeat of the Liberal ticket has unanimously dis closed ; and in view also of the extra ordinary social problems which our people are called upon to solve, we suggest that the people of the South meet in convention to deliberate up on the action to be taken in the premises.” So far as politics are concerned, the object of the convention would be to form a “ home parly" in the South.— Several of the leading papers of the State, though they seem not to have thought of the preliminary step of meeting in convention, which seems to us so obviously necessary, both for the sake of organization and for giv ing dignity and importance to the movement, have, nevertheless, spo ken strongly in favor of the “ home party." The Telegraph <0 Messenger has the following: “But whatever lessons or influen ces may be drawn from the result, let Southern men stand shoulder to shoulder in sympathy and self-de fence. Let the conviction that we have few friends in the outside world inspire fraternity and union at home. Let us unite and co-operate to save ourselves from despotism, plunder, robbery and lawless violence, if pos sible; and if that cannot be, let us suffer together like men and broth ers.” “In the meanwhile we declare against any more entangling alliance by Georgia with national parties.” Also: The vast majority appear to favor a '■'homeparty" of our own, with no outside alliances or entanglements whatever. * * This party will run an electoral vote on its own hook, and pledged only to vote for the can didate who can come nighest to in suring them against tyranny and outrage from the Federal Govern ment and equal protection with the negroes. This party will be for or against nobody for the Presidency— for or against no party under the Federal Government —but will bar ter its electoral vote after every Pres idential election in November for the amplest assurance of exemption from tyrannical interference with the func tions of the State Government, and the fundamental rights of the citizen. This was the drift of the street talk yesterday.” The Augusta Constitutionalist has the following: “The returns continue to swell the majorities given for Grant and Cen tralism in the North, East and West, The South is the only section that has offered any resistance to the on ward march of empire. So far, we do not know of a State in the East, North or West that has cast a vote for the Liberal movement. The re sult proves most conclusively that the South has nothing to hope from the people of other sections. A united South can always hold the balance of power.” The Atlanta Herald says: “The enormous majorities against the Democracy, in the Northern States, are a frightful record of North ern animosity against the South. — Henceforth, we must not look for magnanimity from the North. — Henceforth we must depend upon ourselves, and seek no aid elsewhere.” And the LaGrange Reporter: “After having made every conces sion, scarcely escaping political hu miliation, in order to appease the wrath of Northern people without effect, What now is the duty of Southern people ? Shall we continue to align ourselves with national po litical organizations ? Shall we still adhere to any political party having its control centered at the North ? Shall we continue to be the tail-end of spy party that does not reflect ful- ly our own views? Have we not al ready sacrificed too much to concili ate Northern foes who have proven I themselves incapable of magnanimi ty ? Do we not see that the bitter ness of that people Ls not yet appeas ed, nor never will be until we nave been thoroughly and completely po litically subjugated? What can and what ought the Southern people do? For one, we are in favor of maintaining Southern identity and Southern individuality, by the organization of a great South ern political party that will act in no Federal election with any party that does not fully and completely recog nize the rights, the interests and the white manhood of the Southern peo ple. * * Let us unfurl the ban ner of a strictly Southern party, be cause we can tind no nationality in anj T . We have long enough been the mere foot-balls of Northern political organizations who have used us only to knock each other down with.” The first thing for said Convention to do will be to enunciate a set of principles that shall be in fact, and that all the world shall acknowledge to be more Liberal than the doc trines of the Republicans. We must place ourselves in the very van of that great Liberal movement which is now sweeping over the world.— until this is done, and until the world acknowledges that it is done, we need not hope for success. T. Great Fire in Boston. Loss §200,000,000. Seventy Acres of Houses Reduced to Aslies. A great fire broke out in Boston on Saturday evening last, and before the flames could be arrested, destroyed property to the amount of $200,000,- 000, and burnt over an area of seven ty acres. Five miles of streets laid waste. Chicago repeats herself. Lea ther houses all burned—Thousands of the poor rendered homeless—great suffering. GENERAL ELECTION NEWS. From all sections and States we have a full republican.vote, and from many, republican gains. In no in stance did Greeley poll the full dem ocratic vote. Grant carried every Northern State. The great demo cratic State of Kentucky gave Greeley only about 10,000 majority. Georgia gave Greeley 4 20,000 major ity. Returns from Alabama are meagre. Both parties still claim Louisiana, though the Liberals regard their suc cess as almost certain by 10,000. Immense republican gains in every section of Virginia justify the conclu sion that Grant has carried the State. The Republicans claim it, and but few democrats held out in claiming it for Greeley. Dispatches from Tennessee indicate that Maynard has triumphed over Cheatham and Johnson. Florida is claimed by both parties. Havemeyer was elected Mayor of New York by a plurality vote over Lawrence and O’Brien of 3,454. New York elects 25 republican and 10 democratic Congressmen, a gain of seven for the republicans. It is thought this State (Georgia) elects seven democrats and two repub licans. Gen. Wright, from the Bth district, is elected by about 3,000 ma jority. New Jersey elects six Republican Congressmen and a Republican Leg islature on joint ballot. New York Legislature largely re publican on joint ballot. The following majorities are claim ed for Grant: New Jersey, twelve thousand. New York, twenty thousand. Pennsylvania, one hundred thou sand. In Illinois about thirty-five thou sand. In Indiana, about ten thousand. North Carolina, about ten thousand. California, by about six thousand. Wisconsin gives Grant a majority of about 0,000. Delaware, by about three thousand. Massachusetts, by about eighty thousand. St. Louis gave a majority for Gree ley, Cincinnati and Chicago a majori ty for Grant. New York City for Greeley, Philadelphia and Boston for Grant. Brooklyn for Grant, Balti more and New Orleans for Greeley. Maryland for Greeley by about 8,- 000 majority. Texas is conceded to Greeley by 20,000 majority. The entire Congressional delegation is generally conceded, Gidding’s dis trict being the only one in doubt. RADICALISM TRIUNPHANT. Grant has carried every Northern and Western State, and at present writing we are not sure that Greeley has carried any State but Georgia, though the dispatches indicate two or three others. Greeley could not run worth a cent, and it is clear that his candidacy was a blunder or the gross est fraud ever perpetrated. The Re publican victory is decisive, and ma jorities are so great that the charge of frauds at the polling places, sinks to the ridiculous. We accept the result as a square beat, and propose in good earnest to make the vote unanimous. Georgia has probably gone for Greeley, and elected seven Congressmen—we are somewhat demoralized and have nothing more to say.— Albany News. WORK ON PUBLIC ROADS. An act approved December 12th, 1871, amendatory of section 519 of the Code, reads as follows: “All male inhabitants, white and black, in this State, between the ages of sixteen and fifty years, shall be subject to work on the public roads, except licensed Ministers of the gos pel.” The above is what we call sweep ing. The law exempts no man, not even the Governor. Road overseers should see to it that the law is en forced. Every man in this county, except ministers of the gospel is sub ject to road duty. —Rome Bulletin. Sale of the Albany and Bruns wick Railroad.— Arthur Hood, R. K. Hines and O. A. Lochrane, com missioners, appointed by a decree of Glynn Superior Court, advertises for sale, at Brunswick, on the first Tues day in January next, the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, extending from the harbor of Brunswick to the city of Eufaula, Ala., a distance of 240 miles, with its right of way, equipments and property, real and personal, and franchise and privi leges. This road is in running order for 170 miles. The iron alone on the road is estimated at $1,750,000. Meeting of the Forty-third Congress.— The forty-third Congress will not meet until the first Monday of December, 1873, unless sooner call ed together in extraordinary session. The impression prevails among many persons that the act of January 22nd, 1807, required anew congress to as semble on March 4th, immediately on the adjournment of its predeces sors, is still in force, this law was re pealed by the thirtieth section of the United States statute approved April 20th, 1871, and to be found on page twelve of the laws passed at the first session of the forty-second Congress, The repealing section is contained in a dficiency appropriation act, and the entire statute is well worth examina tion, as a curious illustration of the incongruous measures that are crowd ed into one bill during the expiring hour of a Congress. By our Tennesse exchanges, we notice the survey on the Chattanooga and Cincinnati Road is nearly com pleted. As soon as the survey is completed, work will commence at once on the road, and no time will be lost in its completion. Change of Schedule. — On and after Sunday, the 10th, trains will run on the Macon and Western Rail- j road as follows: Day passenger leave Atlanta 8:20 A. M. Day passenger leave Macon 8:15 A. M.

Night passenger and freight arrive at Atlanta 4:55 A. M. Night passenger and freight arrive at Macon 3:20 A. M. A Memphis paper defines adver tising to be “a blister which draws customers.” A prosperous merchant has for his motto: “ Early to bed and early to rise, never get tight but advertise.” How to make a tall man short — Ask him to lend you $5. Thirsty Vignriians when asking you to “liquor,” say “Specify your funeral promoter.” The heaviest fetter that ever weigh ed down the limbs of a captive, is as a web of a gossamer compared with the pledge of a man of honor. The strong wall of stone and tough bar of iron may be broken, but the plight ed word never. Wait for others to advance your in terests, and you will wait till they are not worth advancing. The Athens Watchman says there will be a contested election case from the 30th Senatorial District, composed of the counties of Rabun, Towns and Union. There were four candidates for Senator. Hon.H. W. Cannon, of Ita bun, received six votes more than the next highest—Col. John England, of Union—who will contest the seat. A child was run over in Savannah by some fast young men. They did not even stop to ascertain the injur ies. A little quarrel in McDuffie county between two persons—both of the col ored way of shoving their ballots— resulted as usual. One of them was vaccinated with an axe. John H. Grant, of Griffin, was kill ed on Tuesday night. His body was found in the street. The coroner’s ju ry returned a verdict of death at the hands of some person unkown. Black lead pencil or crayon draw ings may be fixed by smearing the back of the sheet of paper with a solution of shellac in alcohol. OFFLCIAL CHANGES. Washington, Nov. 9—Noon — It is stated that Langston, colored, will succeed Solicitor Briston. Congress man Bing ham succeeds Curtin as Minister to Russia. Four or five members of Congress elect from South Carolina are negroes. The Fourtli who is “counted in” from the Fourth District which was so gal lantly contested by ex-Governor Per ry, is st scalawag, known by the name the name of Alex. S. Wallace, who is infinitely meaner than either of his colored colleagues. — ... Happy thought by a cheap shirt maker on his own workwomen: They come like shadows, sew, depart. A colored man in North Carolina pulled a mule’s tail to show his do cility. His funeral sermon was an hour and a half long. The Democrats in the Indiana Leg islature will not. hesitate to throw their whole strength for the election of any decent man over Morton ;and the Democrats, with the aid of seven Republican votes, can elect the Sena tor.
