The Location or the State Fair.—
We Were plensed to Lear Judge
• PohToy a member of the executive
committee, express himself decidedly in
fuvur of Matson ns the petuoiueut site of
our annual industrial ejfblbitinn.
Atlanta, already the capital of the
State, will soon be the*eat of two col
leges also. and we see no reason why
she should monopolize**)very enterprise
•which has any creditor profit connected
with i . Again, her hotels are far be
.hind those of Macon, und the surface
*df the country is unfavorable to such an
«exhibition.
That the arrangements of the late
Pair were defective and inadequate, is
•the best reason that the like will never
■occur again. Fore warned aft to the*
•magnitude of the-occasion, ample prep
arations will be made to meet every ex
igency. By all means let the beautiful
central city of-Georgia, be selected as
location, for-hor great an
nual Fair.
Be Patient. — We were not a little
.amuaed recently with the remarks of an
octogenarian low country negro/lelive r
ed in the broken patois of that region
•“By patience’' says old Torn, “salva
Hion bluu (usually) come. But sum
.time we will git riled, do (though) we
musri’t mind dat. We all hab teet in we
head, and now and den de teet slip and
bite dettengne.
Jest so patience come and go, but we
.must try to hold fist to um. '
This is true doctrine however uncouth
ly expressed, and should be constantly
practised, especially in the present con
idfliion of public affairs.
If we lose patience, and indulge in
.invective, and thus provoke further ug
.•gressions, let us remember, that we are
'biting our own tongue, and will alone
be the suff-rers.
Our only resource now is to watch
and wait, until the hour for action and
deliverance rolls around. That it will
•come, is as certain as the postal ate tiiat
'truth is eternal, and error fallible and
evanescent.
ißßWtjgai.va of Cotton—W<. see by
the action of the ware housemen of
Macon and our principal cities, that lots
of cotton when-sold and turned out for
delivery, are subject to be reweighed at
the-expense Af the purchaser.
This is eminently just and proper, as
lit is a fact well known that a bale of
cotton is ever fluctuating in weight, gnd
it Is but right that t’he buyer should
be satisfied that he gets the number ot
pounds paid for at the date of purchase.
One cause of the margin against tin
.interior markets, when contrasted with
those abroad, is the fact that it has been
iUS.ri.aJ to sell cotton upon receipts made
out months nroviously.
The experienced buyer aware .that in
almost every instance a loss of from six
to ten pounds must ensue upon the orig
inal weights, makes his. bid accordingly
With the positive knowledge of pres
ent weight, he can approach very near-,
ly to the quotations of other markets,
ahd can therefore afford to be more lil>
eral in hi# bids.
Wo believe were the same custom in
troduced here, it would tend to improve
prices and inure to the advantage of
the producer.
IQU A glance at the admirably pre
pared, we<kly price current of the opu
lent house of Messrs. Ketch tun and
Hartridge, containing a long and im
posing list of ships, barques, brigs'
schooners sloops, and every ciaft known
to marutime waters, must impress every
Georgian with pride at the imnumse
and growing commerce of the Forest
city.
These rich argdsres laden with the
products of our sunny soil, toll the pal
pablo story of Georgia’s rapid emer
gence from the disastrous war, which
swept her fair fields with the be
som of destruction, and laid in ruins
a thousand homes, once the abode of
hospitality and loxiry.
This has been-accomplished too, de
spite a mountain of taxes, and without,
the fostering care and protection of a
friendly government. What, may we not
expect when tho thieving crowd who
swarm about the nations capital, and
make a jest and bye word of a great
people, have run their race, and law
and justice once more regain their sway,
Again we call upon the people of
the interior, to stand their noble
seaport, and make her what her geo
graphical position, and manifest desti
ny seem to indicate, the queen city of
the South Atlantic coast.
Congress on Georgia. — Washington,
Doc. 13. —A pretty thorough canvass to
day indicated thnt Congress will hold
oft' until the Georgia Legislature meets
and give it time to reseat the negroes.
If this is done the State will be let alone;
but will be required to ratify the Fif
teenth Arrmtidmeut belore her admission
into the Union. Asa matter of pre
caution, however, it is deemed advisable
that a representative man of the State
Bltould visit Washington at once, to de
feat the schemes of Bullock,'Blodgett
& Cos., who are urging Congress to im
mediate action. —Special to Telegraph §
Messenger.

took place iu Columbus oil Saturday.
J. Mcllheimy was re elected Mayor;

W. Murphy, Marshal; J. A. A. Col

Usi, Grant, Bivins, and DunKiu, Aider
men—which result we learn from the
bun,
The Duty of the Tlour.
Every indication points a the fact
that the mischievous intrigues of Gov.
Bullock, backed by his meiida»HVus pro
elamatidfli* and “theraw head and bloody
bones” series relafing to the political sit
nation in Georgia, have surfed to af
ford the liusirecLgeicuse to Grant and
the ultra radicals/and we are again to
be made to feel the iron heel of the con
queror upon our necks.
The vexed question of reseating the
expelled negroes, which, withoift any
praotical roank tor good-, bid fair ter di
vide the press of the State, is at least
disposed of, and now not a straw inter
pos<-e .to prevent.the thorough reunion
of every wmaervalive element. -Indeed |
a common danger should bind together
with links of stud, every true Southron
who is unwilling' to bow the knee to
Baal, and surrender the prestige of* his
race, and their Constitutional and tra
ditional rights.
What then should bo our course when
a nrilrinry mandate, and the gleaming
bayonet reenacts the role of the Prwncb
and English revolutions, and drives
forth the peoples representatives from
the halls yf Legislation ?
We unswer, let us yield where re
sistance is powerless, bnt never though
threatened with stake and faggot, con
sent to become tbe voluntary victims of
oppression.
Thank God, despite the false assev
erations of her bogus governor, Georgia
is true to herself, aJfcl attthe ballot box
will ever proclaim the opposition of
her people to every high handed act of
usurpation.
Were it- not a bootless operation, (as
new writs of election would be tthne
olately issued and their places refilled
again,) we would Counsel every demo
cratic member to resign his seat, aiid
leave the General Assembly without a
quorum, when the attempt is made to
fasten upon us the iniquitous measures
of Bullock and Grant.
If k be true as stated to the writer
bv one occupying a high position on the
radical judiciary of the State, that even
with the expelled members in their pla
-cea, and the non enforcement of the 14th
Amendment, a conservative
yet remains in the Legislature, we are
still masters of the situation, and the
hated 15th Amendment can be rejected.
- - j •
Should the iron clan be exacted how
ever, and Bullock and iho radicals turn
the tables upon us by admitting to the
fl tor "f the Legislature those who were
the opponents of the disqualified mem
bers, then our condition is indeed hope
less. But even in this predicament lot
us grimly resolve to thwart our enemies
by every parliamentary strategern with
in our reach.
Better have no legislation, than; eon*
sent to enact a radical measure which
is meant to enslave our people forevor.
In the event however that might pre
vails against right, we should 'exhibit a
becoming fortitude, and ’calmly await
the period when a change of.rulers oan
'be effected at the ballot box.
Unavailing opposition at this period
will destroy our influence with the col
ored population, and leave us in a weak
er condition than ever.
May God defend the right.
LET HIE JUDICIARY SPEAK.
From the Telegraph & M essenger, 12th.
Wo received yesterday, from our
friemT, the editor of the Albany News’,
<JG. 0. W. Styles, the following dis
patch :
Albany, Ga., December 11th, 1869.
Te wjraph $ Messnysr :
The Radical Convention at Macon
and'Gov. Bullock charges that justice
cannot be obtained in the. civil courts of
Georgia. Is it so ? It is suggested
that all tho Superior Court J udges, nom
inees of Bul’ock, repair by request to
Washington to testily before the lie
construction Committee, And that Geor
gia will abide their testimony.
Carey W. Styles,
Editor Albany News.
We may, indeed, earnestly, and, thank
God,' safely, an peal to-evrfy judicial offi
cer—from Justice of the Peace to
Chief Justice of t-he Supreme Court—
to rebuke this foul calumny. Come
where it may, it is an atrocious
slander upon Georgia. If a guilty
man,, we would rather tqke the chanye
of a negro? than of a white man, before
any court in Georgia; because we-are
sure that justice is more universally
tempered with mercy in courts in tire
case of blacks than of whites, who
art* presumed tokuow better and pun
ished accordingly. W.e cull the at
tention of our judiciary to the sug
gestion of Col. Styles.
The above is indeed an admirable
suggestion, and one from which no
Georgian will shrink.
Indeed we would be willing to as
sist in raising a fund to send Judge
Schley, Judge Harrell and others of
their colleagues to Washington, with
out the slightest attempt to influence
their testimony.
All we ask for is the simple truth,
naked a.,d undisguised. ■ •
Bn.Locit—Bullock, the carpet-bag
Governor of Georgia, spends most of
his t ime in Washington lie is said to
be very zealous and busy in the work
of persuading the President to keep
Georgia out of the Union. His purpose
is to have himself made or continued
dictator of the rights and destinies of
that Htate. He i» her enemy. Re
ever seeks her injury. He basely slan
ders. lie stickles not a falsehood in his
attempts hf crush Her into a state of sub
servience to his own uses. It isn’t a
very safe business that he is thus pur
suing Perhaps he had better try to
discern this truth before a Hash of light—
ning leveals it to him.— Louisville Cou
rier-Journal.
TrrrfNrrw York Neoroes. —We Ka-'Ve
the authority of P. B, Sweeney, the
Tammany chieftain, for the facts that a
majority of the negroes in New York
city —including the most respectable and
intelligent of them—vole the' Demo
cratic ticket. It is in this wise that.the
Radical invention of universal suffrage
will come back one day in.the o,pulh to
plague its inventors. Whenever negro
intelligence rises to the height of com
prehending the situation of its race,, it
will bo sure to turn upon the wrutul.ecf

Opposition fft Cathbert Ga.
A late number of the Cothbert Ap
peal, after publishing a notice at the
remiest W. Cdieman, that Bro.,
McMorris wogld preach in Gi on the
3rd Sunday is Nov. (which be failed
to and»») manifests much sectarian arro
gance, ignorance apd bigotry *m bis
tirade against Universalistn, a doctrine,
of which, be has the most erroneous con
ceptions. The Appeal is professedly a
secular paper, and yet its editor "can so
far violate his duty as to do gross vio
lence to all secular editorial rule, as to
put forth his imbecile opposition to a
respectable and growing denomination
of Ch redans. Tie cafi speak of Uni
versalism as "infidelity,” “and' other
dogmas of man’s inventions as attrac
tive to human nature in its inborn de
pravity as “being founded upon gar
bled, or isolated passages of Scripture,
or else passed upon in utter denial of
their authenticity.” All this, and more,
in a like spirit, the editor of the Appeal
gives his readers; ire no doubt thinke it
his duty to inform his subscribers, what
they should, or should not believe in
religions matters. Wo hope the Uni
verbalists es south-western Ga. will
make a note of this, and govern them
sotv*s accordingly.
We hope soon to visit Cuthbert, and.
deliver a series of sermons in lMustra
riue and defence of Universwlism. It
any ihirig like a fair and manly discus
-sion cou and be had, wo would be much
pleased, but we have challenged the
“bullies of eternal pain,” so often with
out. provokiug discussion, that we have
but little hopes of their entering the
arena of theological discussion. Nous

Junta of six far ft tolled religionists,
wlio by their combined efforts seek to
keep alive a small Univcrsalist sheeti
published in the great city of No.tasul.
ga, charging uS with violating our “sec
ular neutrality” by Inking ground
against their sect.
O
The writer assumes the role of the
Christian, yet charges us with “igno
rance, ’’ “intolerance,” “bigotry,” and
“imbecility,” and calls upon the people
of South-west Georgia to put us.down.
And put down we'should jjjjplmost as
suredly, if these exponenflWf their con
venient creed could have sway in the
land. The Editor also styles his church
“a growing and respectable denomina
ition of christiaos,” while in another col
umn a veteran rtiorfiber of the afore said
junta, deplores that after the‘lapse of a
hundred years so great is the .paucity of
laborers in the TTniversalfst vine yard,
that “-in the whole State of Alabama
tor instance there is but one,
the editor of the Herald, for I hardly
dare count myself as one being about
used’ up wit-h age and affliction. In
Georgia there are some five or six, and
in South Carolina one-: in Tennessee
one, and in Texas very Few.”
Now it appears to us this is but a
beggarly showing of success after the
crusade of au entire century. Even
spiritualism, mormonism, milleiism or
fourrierism can beat this “growing de.
nomination.”
It is a patent truth that no theory
however wild atjd illusory, has ever
failed to have its advocates. This is
owing to tho amazing versatility of opin
ions upon all subjects which prevail
among men. Given, any proposition, even
that the moon is made of green cheese,
and disciples will by found to adopt it.
In regard to the charge that wa have
been guilty -of “gross violence,” “to all
secular editorial rule/' we are forced to
enter our disclaimer.
Tho Budhists are a “sect”—and bo
also are believers in the Alcoran, the
Mnjii, and fire worshippers of Persia,
and the latter day saints of our own
land. Still we would not feel bound to
preserve an unbroken silence, were ore
or all of these doctrines advertised to be
preached among us.
So alsp precisely with the advocates
of Univei salisrn. By orthodox churches
they are not regarded as coining within
the scope and purview of a religious
denomination. When has our voice ev
er been uplifted against Methodist
Baptist, Espiscopalian, or Romanist doc.
trine, because we happen to adhere to
the Presbyterian creed ?
In publishing tho appointmout of Mr.
I\T. MoMofriss, we were unwilling
that by implication even,. we should be
yanked among the followers of a sect,
which we believifto be unseriptural and
dangerous to the community. Hence
our brief protest against the same.—
Now in this essential vve differ widely
from the Notasulga tliunderers.
We do not wish to have the people
of South-west Georgia, “make a note’
of them for purposes of persecution.
On the contrary, we are disposed to
give them all the tether they wish, sat
isfied that if their doctrine be of man
it will fail to the.ground. Nay \fre will
promise to continue to publish their
preaching appointments, and sincerely
commend their benighted condition to
prayers of Gods people.
We can also take by the hand, and
iesteem*for his private virtues such men
as “A Sinner,” be he Universalist or in.,
fidol. To advocate,or yield even a qua
si assent to his errors is quite another
question* Nor can the columns of the
Appe vi/be made the medium*of affor
ding currency to doctrines, which we
honestly esteem mischievous and de
structive in their tendeucy-. So much
for our violation of “secular neutrality.”
Should the Editor oft the Herald
make good his promise to preach iu
Cuthbcrt, and select any other than the
Lords day for his talk, we will be one of
his auditors. *
We can also assure him of a cour
teous and kind reception, and will prom
ise to make no appeal to the people of
South-we’st Georgia “to make a note”
of his sentiments for persecution sake.

press, and certain writers for the same,
animadverting with unmeasured severi
ty upon the late letters of our immedi
ate representative in congress, lion.
Nelson Tift.
The oiitiißunication of that gentleman
has not "been pnblished by us, -for the
reason that it had been widely dissemi
nated before we had the opportunity of
doing ho, and we .seek to present our
readers constantly with a live newspaper.
Common justice, however, deman Is that
we should record our protest against
this wholesale proscription of an able
and faithful public servant.
It is not too much to say, that to Mr.
Tift, is our State indebted more than to
any other man, for tho breathing spell
which Georgia has enjoyed from the
persecutions of her most malignant foes.
Like a lion he stood in tho pathway of
the radicals, and almost single handed,
breasted and'bore back tile rushing tide
of fanaiigism.
Who has forgotten his breathing and
merciless .handling of Gov. Bullock,
aud his calm and undaunted demeanor
before the Congressional Committee of
Reconstruction ?
We know, from person and inlbrmation,
that in no respectLh#sour ifenresentative
receded from the positions occupied by
him before the people,' it&tae canvass
which his election.
\ Let it be remembered, that tho opk).
.ion that the hegro members should be
restored to thoir seats, after the decision
of tho Supreme Court, is not to be con
strued as favoring perse universal suf
frage, or the bestowment of office upon
the African. Isolate these ineusures,
and wo are assured Mr. Tift, as well as
ourselves, would oppose them unto the
bitter end.
The wndrd' questforf turned upon the
argument of expediency, and the desire
to conciliate our colored friends, and
nflike the best of what was already, by
ruling, and judicial au
thority, a foregone conclusion, after the
lapse of a brief interval of time.
Not a lino in the late letter of Mr.
TkV, counsels the adoption of the hated
15th Amendment. The justice ot his
views, upon the matter of reseating the
expelled members, has verified even
in advance, by the- declarations of the
President’s message. Happily for the
harmony of the D.'nrmcratio party, that
issue has been decided for us, by our en
emies, and we caif .only fall into line and
oppose their nefarious designs step by
step, and at every point.
The above is penned a simple act
of justice*, to one of our most faithful and
patriotic citizens.
Th3 Income Tax-
Wo do r.ot know whether it is gener
ally known, but we hope it is, tiujt the
rations income tax expires with tho close
of the year 1866 The llOt-h section of
the Act itself says :
“And be it further enacted, That the
taxes on incomes herein imposed shall
be levied on the first day of March, and
be due and payable on or before the
thirtieth day of April in each yeat\-<aiH
til and including the year eighteen hun
dred and seventy, and no longer.”
. By this it will be seen that this law
will expire by its own liraitatio.n, and
that the last tax levied under it will be
levied on the first day of March for
18ti9, unless Congress shall see proper
to re-enact it. We hope this will not
be done. The income tax was unloosed
at a time of great danger to-the country
as a war measure, and the fact of its
duration being limited is evidence Unit
Congress intended if should be only
temporary. There is a movement on
the part of some to have it revived at
the present session of Congress, and it
is said that President Grant will recom
mend its re-enactment in his message.
If be should do this he will meet the
very general opposition of the wishes of
the people. When tho law was passed
these was a pledge on the part of the
government that it should* expire at a
given time, and that pledge the country
now expects to see redeemed, and not
violated by its re-enactment. Ihis law
is odious beyond any other ever passed
in'this country. It is inquisitorial in its
character, ami entirely at variance with
the genius of our institutions. It has
ndt been, and cannot be, carried out
fairly and honestly.
Whiles portion of those subject to
its operation make honest returns of
their income Another portion make dis
honest returns, and pay little or nothing
in the shape of income tax. This sea :
ture makes it hateful, for it begets fraud
and deception. In England the income
tax has never been enforced in time of
peace. There it Was always a war.
measure, and was repealed as soon as
the war ceased. It was understood
such was to be the rase here I .at this
under.stnntling he earned out in good
faith. The government can easily do
without the few millions of taxes raised
by a hateful inquisition if the expendi
tures are retrenched -a little. We would
advise the people to petition Congress
against the -re-enactment of the income
tax, and we believe that body will bo in
a mood to listen to the demands of its
Decline in Goi.f>.—Gold is gradually
declining, and las: week it was at a
lower figure than it has reached since
1862. • Many causes are assigned for
this. But the most probable one is the
increase of the aniout of gold in the
country, which, like every thing else
lessons its value. The present year we
have exported about forty millions less
gold than le«tyear, and the consequence
is there is that, much more gold in tho
country from this one couse alone. The
sale of gold by the government has some
effect, no doubt. 'The decline in tho
price of gold does not indicate an im
mediate resumption of specie payment,
but it shows that we ate approaching
that point. When gold gets down to
par, and there is-no longer a premium
on it, it will cornmenceJ.o flow in its ordi
nary channels. Thera should be noth
ing done to force specie, payrm nts, for
anything that woulu'compcl a *apid de
cline would unsettle values and have a
disastrous effect on the business of tbe
country.- Government should keep,
hands off, and let the natural laws of
trade regulate the resumption of specie
