K CUTKBERT APPEAL. MsirSIIKO KVIOtT TMCKSDAT MORNING 3W I SAWTELL & JONES. 111. H. JONES, Editor. ■HURSPAY, MARCH 10, 1870. Hap Accidkkt. —From the Fort Gaines Hi or, we learn that Mr. Robert J. Heman.of Alexandria, Va., acciden- Hv shot himself through Ihe neck, in ■attempt to climb over a'fence, on the ■mises of Col. Jas. E. Brown. After ■ertng several days, during which ■ry attention was shown him, the poor ■crer died. Kis remains were sent home for in- Buent. ■till Another. Outrage. —The Radi ■ Legislature of Louisiana has refused ■How the regular charter election of Iw Orleans to come off, and in utter 1-egard of tfee people lights, have ■ssd a bill, appointing a mayor and lincil, of the radical stripe of course, ■o are t© receive enormous salaries, B rule the people of that city accord * I to tlieir own notions. ISVas-ever usurpation and tyranny like Is, heard of in a democratic govero tfltf lo.ii for a be it fcs Turk or Russian. Anything save I; domination of the Radical dogs fco lord it over us. ■That Bible. — We are making streti na exertions to. render the Cutiibeut Brimal, next to the sacred volume, the list cherished inmate of the housohokls I onr people. ■Family reading, interesting scientific ■ormation, the current news, emgnal ■tidies upon financial matters, the oot- In.quest mmv labor contracts, and prae lal agßloclture, make up the weekly ■pie ©if -our columns. To accomplish ■is, many long hours from the silent Ight are stolon by the weary Editor, Iho is resolved at least to try to make s Journal worthy of public, patronage. We know that it is impossible to ease every one, hence the pilot guides a craft according to bis own chart and luud’mgs. The rold (£ tbs trimmer and “ artful idger ’’ lie can never consent to pei form. Take him for what fee is worth, then, iends, but give him credit atdeastfor jtiesty of purpose and fidelity to your te rests. Tho Publisher of this paper has of. ired a prize at most beautiful and ppropriate, of a costly and elegant fam y bible, to the individual who secures ie greatest number of bona fide, pay >g subscribers before the 14th of April. Let us hope that a generous einula. ion among the moral young-men of this ommunity will result in darge additions o our lists. The Appeal is no longer an experi nent. It is absolutely and wholly free rom debt, and “ dead heads,” and pan iers to no one. Our charges are mod irate, but will not be abated even toso mrc the patronage of travelling oirouss ss and exhibitions. Honest labor should have its reward, ind we are unwilling to work for noth. og. Thanks to an Appreciating public whose favors arc gratefully acknowl. edged, we have thus fur proudly held our own among our contemporaries of the State. With the approach of the dull sum mcr solstice, may wo not still count upon your generous support ? To the rescue dear friends, and double und quadruple •our roll of subscribers. You can do So with but little effort. To our merchants also, wo promise to urge their claims for patronage before the people, and pledge onrselves,as hith erto, to labour without eeusing for the welfare of our beautiful city. We publish the following dis~ patch to the N. Y. Democrat, for what it is worth, but with gold buying in Sa vannah at 110, cannot help believing thut it possesses some significance. Yet from the outlook of things—the continued high prices of almost every commodity, the past juggling in the gold market, the desperate legislation of the country, and the general uncer tainty which overhangs everything—wo »ro forced to believe thut ere long, gold will tend upward again. Specie times always carry with them peace, security, prosperity, and a pleth ora es money. Can any one say we en joy these now ? Philadelphia , March Considerable excitement has been produced here by the publication of a notice by' R promi nent firm that they were prepared id Mil at gold prices, and give chango in ■ilver coin for greenbacks at par. The movement causes a great deal of stir, and it is understood that olher large, firms are preparing to imitate the exam pie. It iH confidently affirmed that the bulk of the trade ot the city will be transacted on a specie basis, within the present month. K&- The late mas-sacre of the Piegan Indians in Montano, by Col. Baker and a detachment of U. S. Troops, under orders irom Glen. Sheridan, can scarce ly be paralleled in the annals of Coman chee atrocities. Ninety throe helpless women and 50 children under 12 years of age, many of ibein ill with small pox, were sur prised in their winler quarters, and bru tally murdered. Ouly 30 able to bear arms were killed. Such a tale of horror will curdle the blood of the civilized world. These blue belly braves got their hand in during the late war, and to murder and 6teal is second nature with them. Wonder if a salute was fired at the capitol grounds in Washington, in honor of this glorious victory ? BgV A disastrous fire occurred in Macon on tho 4th inst., destroying two ptore-" and property to the vaiue of Ihe Enormous Profit 5 of NatiGn alilanks. To a large proportion of our readers, the present banking system of the Uni*, ted States is a profound mystery. In deed it is surprising how few are ac quainted v ith the general theory of banking, and the nature of the profits real.zed by these institutions. We shall confine our present article howey. er, to a glimpse at what are denomina ted “national banks.” Any party, provided he is “trooly loil,” and has influence sufficient at court, by the purchase and deposit in tlie Treasu ry, of United States bonds to the amount of SIOO,OOO, may set up a “national bank.” Upon making this deposit, beis per mitted to draw $90,000 in gteenbacks from the Treasury, tlie remaining $lO, 000 being retained as a so r l of collater al security or ‘bonus. Now mark the fact; besides receiv ing. this largo sum for banking opera tions, the fortunate depositor is permit ted to draw semi-annnally or otherwise, tho regular interest which accrues upon his SIOO,OOO of U. S. bonds. lie commences businee "therefore with the certain ineotue of -6 or 7 per cent «p* on his entire capital, before he invests a dollar of the ninety thousand is current cy, which has baen paid him from the Treasury. With this sum however he now opens his bank, and besides doing a regular banking business, lends mon ey at from 12 to 24per cent per annum, usually at Hhort time, and upon am ple real, and personal security. The bills of these concerns nr» protected and guaranteed by the U S. Govern* tnent, and tlie amount issued duly regu lated'by law. Hence no loss can euure to the bill holder, by the failure of a bank iu consequence of bud investments. ■Tlie regular income upon the bonds on deponit tlierefore, in addition to the high rate -of interest charged for loans, and the interest upon thut interest, weieb is -collected every 60 or 90 days, aggregate of suffi cient to satisfy even the most rapacious. But we are assured, many who obtain chat ters or permits for banks after de* positing the requisite umouut of bonds, draw the prescribed sum in our-rency, and fail to establish any bank after wards. They -simply go South, where money is scarce and will command al most any price, and lend out, or specu late with-$90,000 which has beeu ad vanced to them. Who could desire a better start -ill business than this ? Tlie above embraces in a nutshell the working of the National Bank system, and explains why the preponderance of banking capital, is so largely jn favor of the North. Our people are too poor t<» buy the bonds which must be deposited us a basis for operating. The fui ther elaboration of this sub ject,-must be reserved for a subsequent article. • A Detestable Practice. We learn thut in numerous instances planters have been stripped of their la boring force, by the machinations of aoightiors or other interested parties. The toe# credulous f'reedman is either prejudiced against his employer by slan derous statements, or lured away under promise of higher wages, or a larger share of the crop. Those who look after the morals and conduct of their employees,and inpose salutary restraints upon them, for tire good of society, and their own welfare, are apt to bo the greatest sufferers. It is well known that the negro is now •impatient of the least shadow of re straint, and has very faint conceptions of the obligations of a contract. The white apprentice and factory op erative, are required to commence work with the rising sun, and labor, without ceasing, for a given number of hours, during six days of the week. The for mer, if under age, is even chastised or punished otherwise, for any misdemean or, hy his employer. How stands it with the freedmen ? If absent from work without leave, or performing any duty in a negligent manner, even the slightest rebuke is re - ceived in high dudgeon and resented as an insult. Hence, almost every day in the w’eek at the busiest seasons, scores of freed men may be ob-erved on our streets, to the sore detriment of their employers. For such conduct white men would be discharged, or held accountable for the loss of time. In the negro, it is very generally overlooked, however, so that it is a received fact that less than two-thirds of average work is all that can be relied upon from a majority of them, Those who attempt to correct these evils are denounced for it, and find it difficult to sectiff? laboref%j' Again,we have positive evidence, that the most infamous measures are resorted to by unprincipled men, to seduce from their employers, those who have been regularly <yig tged for the year. Such conduct should be frowned upon by all honest men, and severely punish, ed by the courts. Especially should there be perfect concert of action be tween all upright planters, upon the proper enforcement of labor contracts. Let any and every one who gives em ployment to those who have violated” their obligations to others, be punished by immediate prosecution. This alone will teach the ignomnt freedman, that his contract is not a mere rope of sand to be annulled at pleasure, and that a violation of the same will re sult in the permanent loss of employ ment, and consequent starvation. Os course the planter should also be held to the strict letter of his contract, and the same rule be even more rigidly enforced against him, as the better in* formed of the two. We believe our juries are disposed to do this, and that thp rights of the weak er party will be fully sustained by the courts. Such at least should be the case, and n healthy public sentiment v. ill 60 decide. ~ *our Eailr-ead Enterprise "We arc-surprised to see ‘by the last Girth belt Appeal that many of the stock holders of the Bairthrtdge, Cnthhert and Columbus "Railroad are becoming dis satisfied on account of the Radicalism °£ President Bruton-; and tho editor -finds it necessary, in order to prevent injury to the enterprise from the ex pressed dtssatisfaction, from this source, in that section, to write an elaborate ap peal to the better sense of his readers in b half of the road, urging the stock- I o ders not to peril the interests of the company by lugging in extraneous mat ters which have not) lag whatever to do with the great task before them.— Indeed, at maybe a fortunate circum stance, after aft, under the existing state of our political affairs, that the 'Presi dent ol the Company is an extreme Radical, enjoying the confidence of our rulers at Atlanta. We opposed the organization of the Company, in the outset, alone on ac count of Bruton’s election to the Presi dency df the Board, fearing that his Radical record, and personal Tin pop n I stray on that account, would seriously endanger the sin cess of the project.— But the subsequent -history of bhe un dertaking and the unanimity character ising the movements of the people at this errd of the road, together with the end of tho -evident purpose <tf Hruton to do a Win the power of a human to in »ure the building of the road, indn ced us to believe that the organization of the board was fortunate, and that the people were becoming reconciled to it. Capt. Benjamin F. Bruton, is one of the moat enterprising, energetic, intel ligent business hien we know of in this section of the State, and is evidently doing fns whole duty as I'resident of tbe baiubridge, Cluthhert and Columbus Railroad, and if property sustained by the citizens of the countries along the line of -the road, there can be no reason able doubt Os its success, and, early completion to Cuthbert. The present political status of the South is cruoi yiug to tire time men hf our section, and it is not to be wonder ed at that smiling under the ii-tiuenoe of some new outrage and diabolism, they should permit their indignation to get the mastery over their better judg ment, and, for the moment, forget that their interest and that of the communi ty, demands a submission to what can not possibly be avoided. "“Discretion” is said to be the “better part of valor,” and in seeking the dcvelopeuumt of our .State and the recovery of our lost for tunes it is the dictate of true wisdom to jrvail ourselves of the material at hand, which, if we hope for success, must be used; none other being avail ati e. President Bruton has done well thus far—indeed, we believe he has done his whole duty as the chief officer of this road—and we are disposed to believe, when the time conies for a re-election of the Board of Directors, should the stock holders look to the best interests of the road, that lie will probably be elected as D, rector, and the Board re-confer Upon him the position lie now holds.- Tho matter in hand is not ur.e of poli ties or of personal preferences, but the building of a railroad from Bairibringe to Columbus; and the only legitimate ques 'tion to be asked, before the election of an officer or the employment of a band, is : Is he capable and reliable ? And no one cuu say that President Bruton does not till this bill. He does more :he is a Radical, and has influence with his party, which now controls the legisla tion of the State. We present the above suggestions for the consideration of the friends of this idi important, enterprise, and with no other view than to premote its truest and best interests. Nor is there a man in the South more opposed to radical ism mid scalawags limn we are; but our opposition is to Radicalism, and not to the developement of our section, and the building of railroads where they are needed, even though it should In expedient to employ Radicals, black or white, in building them. We commend the above article from the Uainbridge Argus, to the serious consideration of our readers, We know, personally, that Mr. Rus sel, the able and most worthy editor of that journal, was inflexib’y opposed to the election of Major Biuton, to the po sition he now occupies, as President ot the Bainbridge, Guihhert and Columbus Railroad. His opposition even cost him tho advertising patronage of that gen tleman. But Mr. Russell is honest and conscientious, and we give President Bruton the benefit of his testimony.— Should the latter be re elected, we shall support his administration with all the zeal and ability at our command, so long as he continues faithful to the trusts confided to him, and does not permit politics to influence his appointments. While we loathe the radicalism of the gentleman, we do not dispute the tact and ability which he has displayed in the conduct of tbe road. Nor are we prepared to say, that abstract political questions should be allowed to interfere with the completion of this great work. Whatever, tberi, may be tho action of the meeting of Stockholders, we shall continue to give our earnest and undi vidod support to tho officers of the road, whoever they may chance to be. The Uuthbeft Appeal will please let us know clearly what it means by all its twaddle in an article in its last issue headed Biinbridge, Cuth b**rt, and Columbus Railroad.—Bain brt ago Suit. We are not id the habit of replying to interrogatives propounded in the spirit of the above. For once we shall deviate from that rule however, and answer the Sun, that we mean that our people have no fancy for radicalism in Capt. Bruton or any ofte else { that we support his adminis tration despite that ingredient in his character, inflsoueed by other qualifica tions which he possesses, but are resol ved to be right on, the record. More overj that if the Bun can en dure the election of Biodgett, Farrow and Wlikely, which might possibly be inferred from his snubbing us so sav agely, then we have no use for our con temporary also. We will *ot be so uncharitable as to make this charge however, but in turn would like to “know clearly what it means” in tho premises. Our article was intended to condemn the illustrious trio alluded to, while at the same time it took ground in fa vor of the road, even with Capt. Bruton at the head of it. Can Mr. Ilayseay as macb ? We hope so. Spirit of (ha tieorgia Press. The Cuthbert Appeal (Dem.) under takes to instruct farmers as to their in terest and duty. 4t would be a good thing if some of these -Democratic edi tors would quit writing aufl turn their attention to the cultivation of the soil ! The same paper is still in favor Os re pudiating the National Debt. It says: ‘•The war debt, which, in its villain, ous details was a fraud even upon the North itself, is in no sense a Southern obligation.” That s not new. “Brick Pomeroy” said the same in 1865. The Appeal -continues': ■‘‘The taxes under which we groan for the benefit of the bond holders, and the host of Northern army contractors who fattened upon tlie carnage of the late ervi! war, are submitted to, for the same reason thut the defenceless traveler de livers,his purse at the demand of the highwayman. When au outraged North shall inaugurate reform, with the ballot, our people of every race and color will march in serried ranks to the hustings, and an nowee their verdict. 1 ’ And yet the “ Democracy” claims to he a National party. Indiscreet edit >rs are sometimes great stumbling blocks [as well as blockheads per s«J to the success of their own parly. We would simply inform this -new radical light, who has indeed rfae cred it if report be true, of inaugurating a new era in j lurnalism, by levying block mail upon its Black confreres in tho em ployment of the State Road, that epi thets and personalities are ussuuily the refuge of the week in their last extrem ity. Now for tbe “ blockhead per te ” io -sinnation*we might in return call our contemporary a Swiss x a modern Dal getty whoso pen and sword are ever at the service of the best paymaster —a leech filling hitnself from the blood of" the body politic—a boot lick ever bow ing and scraping in tbe path ot Bullock and Terry. We -might add the word nnscegenator jx.rhaps.and a score of oth er descnijutive terms, concerning which there might be more truth thaw fiction ia the opinion of many, but we forbear; Argument should never bo pointed with abase. And we merely wish to show our IshmueHteth friend what could be done in the way of retort if we were malaeious enough. People who-1 ivein glass houses should not throw stones. Meningitis -This mysterious and much dreaded noladv, is making fearful pro gress in various portions of the State.— In Coffee county, 115 persons have fal !en victims to it, and in Upson and Crawford counties it is also proving very fatal. Cases are reported in ila eon and Savannah likewise. Thus far, no settled treatment for its cure seems to have been devised. In cne instance bloud letting appears to have affbitled great relief. From onr intelligent fellow towns man Dr. MeLester, we have • gathered many interesting facts connected with this new disease, which made its first appearance on this continent at Mont gomery Alabama, several years since, and was carefully investigated by the Doctor. Patients are usually first affected with a pain m the neck and head, w afterwards results in inflammation of the brain. No disease, not even yel low fever or cholera is more fatal. The sufferer often lingers for many days. There is no fear of contagion, so no danger is incurred by attendance upoD the sick. The complaint seems to be atmos pheric, pervading whole counties and districts of country. it originated in Strasburgh, Germany about the year 1848. Shall WeJSell Our Cotton ?—This question continues to be propounded to r.s almost every hour of the day. A satisfactory answer is simply im possible. If you are rich and owe noth ing, then the experiment of holding can be made with safely. If however debts are maturing or already due, the path of duty as well as honor, should impel you to realize at once. We have no right to speculate, and incUr risks with that we cannot call our own; and if debts and obligations have l>een contracted, predicated upon our cotton crops, they should be sold at once to meet these demands. Every cent of decline renders you worse off, and even if a reaction should ensue be fore next Fail, can you honorably delay selling until then ? In contemplating your own troubles, be not so selfish as to forget the trials of others, caused perhaps by your own want of promptness. Tinder rill circumstances, honesty, is indeed the best policy. Tiir Gold Panic and A T. Stew arts Coup ds Main.— An announce ment was made several days since, that A. T. Stewart of New York would sell priuts and other styles of goods at gold prices, abroad, and give silver change for greenbacks A similar declaration was made by a Philadelphia house. The Now York Mercantile Journal exooses the whole thing, and says it was what is termed a “drive” or dodge on the part of Stew art, to distance competition and increase his own business. The ruse reso; tod to consisted in of fering small lots of goods, ocly a few pieces at a time, and then when the rush was made to secure bargains, a tariff of ten or 15 p.F cent, was immediately added. Such finessing is highly dishonorable in commercial circles. Tho belief is becoming general, that gold will soon react again, and that no serious full in prices will take place for months to come. Even if greenbacks reached par, epo cic payments could not be resumed at onee, and gold must continue to fluctu ate in value, and be affected by all the vicissitudes of political events. We still believe that the present pan io is the work of design, on tbe part of stock jobbers, speculat ts, and cotton buyers. We shall see. New Advertisements.
