THE CIJTHBERT APPEAL, i’PVttL'W BU BVKKT TtUmSTtAY WoftVtVO BY SAWTELL & JONES. IT. H. J S, Elitor. • =====r====i: -- -=-t—- ' THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16,1869 n&T Rev, J, W. Mflifa,-is our only antlioi i i ia*d tiavelirnr Agent,-aPi is duly empowered to reeeiVoai and receipt 'for monte* due ffiis office. 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. Columbus. —The municipal elec’Tfrtj took place iu Columbus oil Saturday. J. Mcllheimy was re elected Mayor; M. M. Moore, Clerk of Council ; M. W. Murphy, Marshal; J. A. A. Col vin, Deputy Marshal; and Messrs. Chipley, Barden, Redd, Blanchard, Colxcy, Cherry, Salisbury, Cady, For- 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 mountebanks who have tickled and fLittereu and duped them to the.detri ment of their best interests.— MJiile Reg inter. _ 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 cWroni. fbia spctVkMhts rrtfmth. piece of a 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. Parisian, ladies, who late ly received an invitation to visit Compi egue, supplied themselves before start ing with forty dresses. As the boxes necessary to convey this amount of fe male adornments would occupy too much spape in their apartments, fresh one* are to be sent down every morning, and those wbiuh have beeu worn on the preceding day will be removed. It is the otiqUe,.te at Gompiegue that a dress shall not be worn a second time. reg r ef, the strictures of a poftion ol the 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 payme a ts. — JJoyhdo mi liemoera t.
