H. H. JO N E S, Eww*.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, IR70.
Last Notice.—If there s» » cross
mark on your paper this wi«ky.nir time
is out, and if you wish the paper any
longer, you must cell and renew,
A Happy New Year.
Despite die political sqnall which is
brewing, and the highhanded acts of
no unfriendly congress, we m iy still be
permitted to utter the salutation, a hap
py new year to all our readers.
Thanks to the stupidity and over
weening confidence of Bullock,in slaugh
tering Col. Hulbert the ablest of all
his counsellors, and t(je disgust of the
moderate Hepub.leans, we may hope
our Legislature will block the game of
the "bitter ender” radicals, and save the
State from the ruin and degradation
they would inflict.
We have reason to rejoice also in
abundant harvests, reviving foi tunes,
an unusual degree of heultn, singular
unanimity of public sentiment upon po
litical questions, and the unrestricted
possession of religious liberty. Oer
our he.‘.ds too the glorious empyrean
spreads its blue arch, and the reful
gent sun still dispenses light aud heat
as in days of yore.
Why not then throw politics to rad
ical dogs, and be happy ?
Happy in the delightful pursuits of
rural life, in the pleasures of the field
aud chase, in the quiet joys of the fire
side, and in the dear companionship of
friends and family.
With these resources still at com
mand, may we not again repeat, "a hap
py new yeur to you all?’’
1870.—We are pleased to announce
to our numerous patrons that the Ar-
peal enters upon this year with brighter
prospects (pecuniarily) than any previ
ous one. Our subscription list is grad
ually and steadily increasing, while our
advertising pution ige is fully up to onr
expectations. Notwithstanding these
facts we would like to fee! it necessary,
before the close of this year, as in the
past, to tear down our presses and ereit
larger ones, in order to meet your wants.
Continue your support, kind friends,
und we will show our appreciation by
endeavoring to make the Appeal a reg
ular und acceptable visitor to your fiio—
sides.
na-
the
t
Thk Es'd of tub Cuban Rebellion.
—From the latest intelligence it is liigli
ly probable that this illstaired struggle
has ended in failure and disaster.
While we grieve over the blood that
has been shed and the atrocities now
likely to be perpetrated, still we must
vaafess p, a feeling of satisfaction that
jhis rudicul fight lor emancipation has
proved abortive.
What possible interest Southern men
could .Uuve in this struggle we never
could (Irfermine. If successful, more
annexation, more construct o is- and re
cons try odious,jyiore American citizens
of African descent were the inevitable
results.
We may ad .1 also higher prices for
angar and a repetition of Jamaica expe
lienee might be looked for.
As it is, we hope the Dons may have
a new lease of the inter faithful isle for
a thousand centuries t« come, un 1 the
shove! ami the hoe ply their uv-ucation
as industriously as ever before.
We have no mock tears to shed over
tbe fall of Cuban liberty.
frjr- A recent visit to Savannah, and
walk along her long line of wharves,
crowded with the shipping <'f a"
tions, impressed us deeply with
growing importance of uur principa
seaport.
This increase of tonnage, bringing
aith it augmented supplies of the
worlds products from every clime, has
operated very sensibly upon the trade
and prosperity of the city, during the
present season.
In every department, business has
been exceedingly active, and far in ad
vance of any preceding year. Tangi
ble evidences of this are to be observed
in the nume ons ami splendid edifices
which are in process of erection, on ev
ery side. In one thing only is Savan
nah and all our Southern cities lacking
however. We allude to the deficiency
in banking capital.
This is a great impediment to the
transaction of business, and cripples to
a* greater nr less extent every branch of
trade. As a consequence, money is
scarce, and the rates of interest very-
high. If Georgia is ever allowed to be
reconstructed in earnest, and peace und
quiet are assured, it is to be hoped that
Roglish capitalists will briog over and
eaqdoy among us a portion of tln-it sur
plus means, and thus confer a mutual
benefit upon all concerned.
Surely there is margin enough be
tween three and fifteen per emit r ite
of interest, to induce the flow of capital
in this direction. Confidence in the work
ing aBd |>ermancnce of our institutions, is
all that is required to ensure the de
sired result. When may we look lor
this under radical auspices.
<K D;r.—That Chief Justice Brown
d.-approves of Bulh-ck's reconstr c-
tion plans, and repudiates the carpet bag
Governor. Also that the split between
Bullock aud Huibert is u mere sham
only.
In these latter days (he safer plan is
to hear everything and believe nothing.
8- Mr. Tift’s letter is a bold, manly
document, and will command universal
attention,
Ii radical measures are forced upon
^is, it may be necessary to submit;
but who will believe hereafter that such
legislation enacted at ibe point of Gen.
Terry’s bayonets, will be binding upon
BlUb
The Georgia Situation.
The triumph of that arch conspira
tor, Bullock, in his attempt to reduce to
a territorial dependency one of tbe orig
inal thi.leun sovereign States of ,tbe
Union, imposes grave obligations upon
our people,mud the rulers of their choice.
It is evident that his carpet bag ex
eeflency and Gen. Grant, conscious of
i!>e enormity of the wrong they have in
flirted upon an unoffending people, ap
prebend a revival of rebellious senti
ments, nnd hence tbe military are to be
kepi, in readiness to do their master's
bidding.
But a sensible community are not
thus to be caught napp ug. A timely
riot ut this juncture would indeed be a
God Send to our oppressors, as afford
ing some justification for tbeir revolu
tionary action.
Let us not allow them this advantage.
At best these days of darkness and hu
miliation cannot long lie protracted,
where ninety nine hundredths of the
capital, and all the intelligence of the
country, are arrayed against the iniqui
tons doiuisatiou which is iorced upon
us.
The very passage of tbe 15th amend
ment, much as we loathe its provision,,
by establishing our own franchise priv
ileges, will prove un enabling act by
which onr enemies must eventually be
defeated.
Already bus it been attested at the
ballot box, that evon under radical rule
and witii the aid of an army of carpet
naggers, Georgians can, and will main
tain their supremacy over ignorance and
fanaticism.
The colored voters When left to their
own guidance, if treaty with kiodaess
and liberality, will ever* na!orally affil
iate with tbeir employees- It is |he old
story of the land holder and bis tenant
The two ever act iu concert.
We have only then to full back upon
Mr. Calhouns system if masterly inac
tivity, und calmly un< patiently bide
our time, until the reign of Bullock and
Ins crew is over, and new State elec
tions take place.
Then will ii be deuwostrated that the
Anglo Suxou element once the lords
and proprietors of the toil, is still in
stinct with life and vigor. In tbe mean
time, we may still console ourselves
with the knowledge, that the several
judges of the Superior Court are in the
main, men of sound judgement and cor
rect dealing. We have also an admir
able jury system, which fairly adminis
tered, excludes bud and incompetent
men of all races.
f’owerless then at present to resist
the will of a usurping Congress, and tho
"dioiis rule about to be forced upon us,
let us quietly submit to its behest ar.d
make the most of the situation.
To our legislators we would say,
those who can conscientiously take the
prescribed oath shoiilJ do so, and ta*e
their seats, prepared to serve us best
they may the true interests of their
constituents. Those who have any
do it tits on me sunject wi nout even ap
pealing at Atlanta would do well to re
sign. This would create vacancies
which Gov. Bullock, under the consti
tution, would lie found to fill hy issue,
ing new writs of election. The oath
uever huv ng been offered and refused
by these gentlemen, no one could pro.
uoiince them ineligible, so as to admit
to I heir scats, those who were iheii op.
ponents. The right to resign no one
cun cal. in question.
The above comprise in brief, our views
upon our present State and federal re.
lations. Since we can't help it, let us
ofli-r n i resistance to Bullock, but quietly
address ourselves to the private pur.

suits of life, and let politics alune.
Letter from Judge Cabaniss,
FoitsYTD, Dec. 28, 1869.
Col. T. W. Avery, Atlanta- Dear sir:
A press of business prevents me from
replying to but one question propound
ed in your circular ol the 27tn inst:
MV hat is the course that patriotic
members of the Lcislutiire should pur
sue for the interest of tho State ?”
Mv opinion is, that all who are em
braced in the p-oclainat’on which has
been recently issued, convening the Leg
islature, and are eligible to seats, shod Id
attend promptly, and qualify and par
take iu the business t'f legislation. It
mav be iu their power to pre7"-nt much
harm b“ing done; from a contrary
course, incalculable hijury may result
When the Constitutional Convention
was called, the conservative portion of
the people stood aloof and declined to
take any part in the election of dele
gatee It is now generally admitted that
that was bad policy. It is hoped thatsuch
policy will not now he repeated by the
D -mocratic ami Conservative memliers
ol tite Legislature refusing or declining
to lake their seats. Let every one at
tend, und let all who cun conscientious
ly take the prescribed oath, take their
seats. They are very nearly, if not
quite equal in number with those of op
posite politics, and they have the pre
ponderance of intelligence and influ
t-nt-e. Let it be exerted for the good of
the State.
Upon ihe other question propounded
in your circular, 1 have not the time
iiow to g' : ve my views. All that I have
to 6ay is, i.‘;;ii the members of the Leg
isiature should meet ii-“ ease as it is,
and legislate accordingly, if the Leg
islatura* provisional merely, accept the
situation, and do the best in their pow
er for the interest of the State. My
policy is prevent harm from being done;
that can not be accomplished hy uou-ac-
t.uu.
Very respectfully,
K- G. Cabamss.
The Word Negro.—Forney’s Chroni
cle says. Considerable sensitiveness is
manifested at every colored convention
about the use of the word negro. The
Istdy now silting form no exception, a
discussion having arisen the other day
concerning ils appearance in an official
document. This feeling, we think, is
uncalled for and mistaken. Negro is a
good Latin word transferred to English,
meaning black. If the word is shame
ful, the fact must be more so, and the
colored men make an admission against
themselves iu objecting to it. This word
came into ihe English language king be
fore America was discovered, and con
sequently cannot lie looked on as a term
ot derision or icp-oach.
To the Ieyulature, the Preu and the Peo
ple of Georgia:
There is now but one issue of vital iui
portanee ia our State. The Governor
nnd Ins eo-workers in iniquity, vs. the
people of Georgia. Let us for tbe time
being, at least, forget all inioor differen
ces, and co-operate for onr mutual pro
tect ion.
The Act of Congress '‘To promote
the reconstructian of tbe State of Geor
gia," bad as it is, was stripped of its
worst features—the "Iron Clad’’ oath
for the Legislature, a test oath for
State Officers, a provisional government
for the Stale, and the ‘ tnilitia” and
“armed forces of tbe United States’’
placed at the disposal of the Governor"
— in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The scope and meaning of tbe act as
finally adopted is, that the Government
ol the United Stairs take violent pos
session of “the State of Go. ryia,” and
makes use of the “Governor of the Slate
of Georgia" as their willing instrument:
first, by, “proclamation to summon all
persons elected to tbe General Assem
bly of said State, as appears by the pro
clamation’’ of General Meade, to appear
on some day certain at Atlanta : Second,
To apply for United Stales forces to be
employed hy the Preeident, if necessary, to
enforce und execute the provisions of the
first six sections of the Act. These are
the sole duties eutruated to the Govern
or by the Act.
Tbe "said General Assembly" is
charged with tbe remaining provisions
of the Act—tbe application of a test
oath to the members under pretence of
enforcing the 14tb Amendment of the
Constitution—reorganization of tbe tw u
Houses, and prohibition of exclusion of
colored members—these are to be *eii-
forced.’’ The remaining provisions—the
unification of the 15th Amendment—is
a condition precedent to representation
in Congress.
Tbe Act docs not make the Govern
ment provisional. t givi-a to the Gov
ernor no new powers but the two I have
tamed. It does not effect the election
>f Senators, or other past action, or laws,
i of tb? legislature, except to annul* the
action relative ?o the expulsion of color
ed members, it docs n.;t add to, or
lake from, the Governor,or Legislature,
any power wliish they hold under t!l“
State Constitution after this Act shall
have b»eii executed, but both are remit
ted to tbeir usual duties under tbe
Stnte Constitution.
The Act is n--t satisfactory to Gov
emor Bullock or his extreme partisans.
The warning of the coming attempt at
usurpation is given by Governor Bullock
in the pnblic degredation of his office
and tbe assumption of the title of Pro
visional Governor. They hope for some
pretext of violence or disorder to sup
plement the Act of Congr-ss with mar
shal law and the test oath for all State
officers.
But failing in this they expect to se
cure unlimited power and exemption
from responsibility to the people, by an
unscrupulous majority of the Legislu
tare. Exclusions, bribery and threats
will each have their allotted work. The
democrats are to be reduced to a small
niinorily. The white republicans are
relied nn a» willing instruments of cor
ruption and tyranny, and if any shall re
volt at the proposed sacrifice of the hon
or and the lights of the people, they are
to lie whipped in or pilloried by tbe loy
al Governor as unrepentant rebels and
traitors to. the party. The colored
members are expected to leave behind
them tbeir common sense and all per-
iw-poorihility for tbeir fswhiun,
and be the unquestioning t sds to do the
dishonest and dirty work of the faction
With such a programme—confident
of success— the s’anderers of our people
the plunderers of our State, tbe traitors
to constitutional liberty, gloat over the
misfortunes of those whom they deem
to be already in their power, and pollute
the air with their revels in anticipation
of the cunsumation of tbeir devilish de
signs.
But as a just God lives and reigns
over all, this scheme of iniquity will nol
succeed. The Georgians, Ihe men who
will foi m the remnant ofthe Legislature
— democrats and republicans—white
and black—will remember that the fate
ol Georgia ia temporarily in their keep
ing ; that the eyes of the people are upon
them ; and that the faithful discharge of
their duties, besides the reward of a
good conscience, will bring upon them
the approval abd blessing of a generous
and grateful |ieople. And they will re
member too, that the betiayal of their
trust, by uuiling with the enemies of the
people for the destruction of their rights
and liberties, will make them infamous
iu the sight of all good men, and will
br ng up in them the just retribution
which, sooner or later, follows tyrany,
oppression and crime.
My opinion of the duties of the Leg
isiature, looking to the best interests of
Georgia, is, that every member elect
who can honestly take the oath prescri
bed, should do so, aid iu the orgaiza
tion of the Legislature, and otherwise
comply literally with the act of Con
gress, including the adoption of the loth
amendment.
Then. l at i to remove all doubts on
tbe subject, r..: : <7 and confirm the past
action of tho Legislature.
2d, Require the Governor to order
elections to fill ail vacancies iu the Leg
islature.
3d, Appoint commissioners to take
charge of the State Raul, and remove
all. funds from tbe control of the Gov
ernor.
4th, Adjourn for one month, or until
ufter the further action of Congress on
the Georgia question.
This would be a compliance with the
requirements of Congress, and would
test their sincerity. It wo'uld give con
fidence in the validity of our laws, pro
vide full representation in the Legisla
ture, and secure the State against lur-
ther plunder.
The good people of our State,
whilst they will maiutain peace and or
der with the firm aud quiet dignity
which hd s characterized them, will not
be idle specta,‘I»'8 of the coming- crisis.
They will see their representatives in
the Legislature, anJ impress upon tliem
the responsibility ami importance ol
their present position. They w ll t'end
their wise and good men to Atlanta to
hold up the hauds of their faithful rep
resenlatives and cheer them on in the
good work of State redemption.
As my opinions no the subject of the
15th amendment have been referred to,
and |ierha|is misunderstood, I give
them, briefly and li unkly. If that amend
ment of tbe Constitution were proposed
to Georgia as a free and equal State iu
the Union, 1 would oppose it as a sur
render of an important element ol State
8 .vereighty and State protection.
But a majority of the States bave'fixed
upon the Southern Stales tlie brand of
inferiority. They have been de
prived of the coutrol of th« elective
branchiae,whilst the Northern and West
ern States retain it- W e are now par
ties to an equal union—they are the su
perior, we the iuferior members; and lo
long as this inequality exists, whatever
evils may be developed in the experi
ment of univefHal suffrage areincurable,
because we cannot omemand either the
sympathy or aid of the “Free State”
The equivalent of tbe 15th Ameadnn-nt
is fixed upon u»—nay, more; the 15th
Amendment leave* to tbe State the
right t<> p. escribe qualifications for of
fice. Shall the Union wilh our consent
remain an equal Union ? If we cannot
rise to the political equality ol our cc-
State, shaH we not bring them to our
level, so that all Ihe States shall share
the i-nimnon burdens and blessings nf
the Government, und have a common
in'i-rest in correcting whatever evils
may exist ? If there are blessings in I he
un v real suffrage shall tie South -n
States monopolize bent? If there ate
evils, shall we not adopt the only means
iu our power to correct them? ftha 1
w« here Tier constitute the . n y land of
promise—political heave.:, to which the
■ lUfrain hi-v-d and discard- d p< p dations
of twenty-six States shall eventually
flee ?
Situated as we are, the loth Amend
ment cannot hunt us, but would belter
uur condition by restoring the .political
equal of the State in the Union.
Ve y res|«ecitully,
Your Obedient Servant,

Editor Constitu'ion : In one *»r two of

Now, if you will iouk cl<«*ely to th*^ ^

while Gov. Bullock is required to call
togelher ihosv- persons declared hy Gen.
Mead as elected, and to administer a
certain oath to them and in case they
do not take said oath ihey are declared
ineligible, yet, there is no pr«ivisi«»n. f«*r

while the Act was bef >re the House of
Representatives, an amendineti. wa«
proposed to provide for these end oth

Butler und voted down
It is true that the C.nle sa a that in

the uext hignest comes in. But G*»v
Bullock does not tall th * Leg is'attire

or the laws of Georgia. Neither are
These members made ineligible by the
Code, and on the contrary they were
and are eligible by the Code, and th^y
have only lately been made ‘ineligible’
by un Act of Congress, and as G<»v.
Bullock’s sole authority for tendering
to the members of the Legislature a
cei taio oath is by Act of Coogress, mid
as Congress declined to provide for the
filling of vacancies, q^c, I don’t set?
bow he can fill them. By this very
Act, Congress leo-gnizeil these meu as
ineinbeis ol the Legrslaiure; they have
served as members of the Legislature.
By tub Codb or Georgia they are still
Members or tub Legislature, and when
ever a AJembrr ot the Legislature re
signs there is but one way, under the
C«Hle, for the vacancy being tilled, and
that is, by an election.
To remove all doubts then, and to
give Bullock not even the semblance of
the 121st section of the Code to till the
p aces of the several members, who can
not take the new oath, would it not be
best for these persons to forvvilh resign,
without giving any reason for their res
ignation. This would prevent it being
said .they ‘decline 1,’ ‘refused,’ or - ‘muli-
gible,’ or were ‘unable’ to lake said
outh.
But enough. I think every Demo,
mat member who can take the ir-w
oath ought to appear promptly at At
lanta and take his aeat and slay there
and vole, etc., as lo.ng us the legislative
body is in session.
