We trust neither policy o r rod gold,

igbbour.
" We were willing to let these Nor
ern gentlemen make a million or two
it of the State, to secure this great on
i prise, for we felt convinced the Road
hen complete would enrich the State
ur fold the entire bonded debt for its
ustructiou ; but we are not willing to
orifice the honor, peace, prosperity

id ruined in exchange for the disinter

Bainbridge, Cuthbert & Colum
bus Railroad.
The Rak&ridge Bun. thus replies to
our article in answer to its late stric
tures.
As the Appeal, has for Grte time de
viatei from its usual r**,Vs, and answer
ed our inUsfroflfßinry, we will also be as
magnanimous and answer the Appeal.
In the first place we will state that
’.lie Sun is “An Independent Journal,”
that we claim the l ight t<» condemn men
and measures when necessary, or give
them praise if it is due them irrespect
ive of parties, and if any one ‘don't like
our wav j , they need'nt swing on nut
gate ; we are able to paddle our own
canoe.”
Wo can assure the Appeal, that it was
not our intentions to “snub 1 ’ ir, and that
we have as little use for It idicafs-n as it
has--so far as Blodgett and Farrow
are concerned, we say most emphatically
that we do not endorse them. Whitely.
socially, is a gentleman ; politically, we
are opposed to him and every one kn<**r
it; but we do say if we are to have a
Republican Senator, we think Whitely
as good a choice as could have been
made
Is the Appeal satisfied on that score ?
%But what has Democracy or llepubl.i
canism got to do with building a rail
road ? If the article in the Appeal was
intended to condemn the “illustrious
trio 11 it sdlades to, why not confine
itself to them exclusively ? Why
head it “Cambridge Cuthbert and Col
umbus Railroad ,” and lead off with an
apology for parties not attending the
railroad meeting held ra tlwe fcity «f
sCuthirert, a-ecl Lnsiiusating at the same
time that the “Legislative action was
not valid.’ and ' adicaliam
would in all probability throw hint Over
board in the next election for Directors
of the Road—this is indeed strange.—
If the Appeal wishes to see the road'
completed at an early day, let it come
out boldly and openly in favor of it, as
it has done heretofore, let the President
be who he may.
We do not doubt, Bro. Jones, but
what you are a strong supporter of the
«noad, but such articles as tiie one we al
luded to, is calculated to seriously in
jure the road tmd give an excuse to
those who would like to get out ot pay
ing their subscription.
We must say it is anew era to us---
simply because tha President of the road
is u‘Republican, <and lie is universally
pronounced both by Democrats and Re
publicans to be the most Conservative
Republican, nnd independent member
of the Senate) some putties want to
sneak out of paying their subscription.
The idea is simply ridiculous—what care
we for the politics of a man if he has
‘he energy and ability to develop ti e re
sources of our country.
Who but Bruton, could have procur
ed the liberal charter granted to the B.
C & C. Railroad ? It originated with
him, and he with the assistance of a few
members of the House put it through.
His polities are the same now as when
the parties subscribed to this enterprise.
They all certainly knew that at the
time
In conclusion we will say, that we be
lieve Capt Bruton is the only man cor>
nccted with the road that can push it
through to a speedy completion, and we
sincerely trust that we will hear no
mi rtf of this mixing np of political and
business affairs from any source-
To the above we would briefly say,
that the article in question was penned,
because due notice having been given
that a meeting of th ■ stockholders of
Randolph County, would be held on a
certain day, the absence of all comment
upon the causes which led to the fail
ure of the said meeting, might ha VO
been construed by the enemies of the
road, to mean disaffection ou the part of
stockholders.
Truth, therefore, reqirred that it should
be distinctly stated, that the inclemency
of the weather together with dissatUuu
lion at the vote of Gapt. Bruton upon
the senatorial questiou in the Legisla
ture, had deterred many from meeting
him ut the appointed time, and it was
deemed best therefore to have no mcet
ing.
As to any intention of our people to
“ sneak out of paying their subscrip
tion's,” the insinuation of the Sun, is un
just and gratuitous, as they are ready, the
histone of them, to make good every
dollar which has beau pledged. That
they should give a quasi endorsement
to the extreme radicalism of President
Bruton, as manifested by his voting for
Farrow and Blodgett, could not have
been expected from a community who
view such opinions with unutterable
disgust. Hence the failure to meet
him on the appointed day.
That we expressd an opinion against
the validity of the acts of the General
Assembly, and said “ Bruton's radical
ism would iu all probability throw him
overboard,” we deny, as a reference to
our article will prove. So far from this,
though witli regard to his rad
icalism to be placeb 1 right on the record,
we even hiutedthut we tvere no! prepared
to say politics alone should disqualify
any man from holding a position, if in
all other respects be was fitted for the
same.
Nay, we even stated broadly that we
would sustain President Bruton's ad
ministration, if he was the choice of the
Board at its next annual meeting. And
here again we repeat the assertion, and
add also, that personally our relations
with this gentleman are of the most
friendly character.
As to our “ coming out boldly and
openly for the road,” tile exhortation is
unnecessary, as we are' willing to com
pare records with the Sun as to our
past course with reference to that en
ter prise.
Bat we do not intend that our Jour
nal shall be classed even by implication,
with other radical sheets, by its sus
taining any member of that party, in any
office without the utterance of a dis
claimer aginst his political proclivities.
Bo much in vindication of our course.

Railroad Imbroglio-
PCBLIO ImDIGNATUU* MhXTING.
Wednesday evening a very nffge num
ber ofour citizens of all shades of politi
cal opinion, assembled at McO>nS 1 8 Hall,
for the purpose of condemning the mis
representations of themselves and their
community by exaggerated dispatches
recently telegraphed, to the
troubles ofl the Brunswick and Albany
railroad, last w- ek. We are impress
ed with the indigtatlon felt by war citi
zens at being accused of parrueipafing
in the little internecine troubles on the
Brunswick and Albany railroad, by-the
large attendance r»f those who are sel*
dom seen at public gatherings. An
oexed will be found ac
tion :
Wednesday Evening, )
Match 16th. $
Upon the suggestion of Mayor Hab
ersham. a large number of citizens as*
sembled* for the purpose of considering
the recent sensational dispatches as tele*
graphed over the country, detrimental
to the character of the good order of
our community
P. M. Nightengale, Esq., was called
to the Chair, and T. F. Smith requested
to act as Secretary.
On taking the Chair, Mr. Nighten
gale briefly stated the objects of the
meeting.
Ex-Mayor Houston moved the ap
pointment of a committee of seven to
prepare business which was adopted.
The Chair appointed as said commit
tee, Messrs James Houston, Thomas M.
Forman, H. A. KietMsiok, 5. W. Chris,
tiun, T. F. Smith, J. F. Rowe, and U.
Dait Jr.
After retiring a few moments, the
committee reported as follows :
Whereas, great and manifest injus
tice has been done the citizens of Bruns
wick, and the people of the entire State,
by certain telegraphic reports emana
ting from one W. L. Avery, concerning
a disturbance which is said to have tak
en place on the Brunswick and Albany
railroad, on or about the 10th instant.
Therefore,
Resolved, That the Mayor and Coun
cil bo requested to investigate all tbo
tacts connected with said alleged dis
turbance, and publish the same for the
information of the public.
Winch was received and unanimous
ly adopted.
The civil authorities submitted the fob
lowing 'stateirieiil, which was read and
unanimously endorsed as a true state
ment of the troubles
My attention having been called to
various telegraphic reports which have
appeared in the papers concerning a
disturbance which is said to have taken
place on the Brunswick and Albany
railroad on the !oth instant, I deem it,
as 1 was Mayor of the city at the time,
an act of justice to the citizens of
Brunswick and the people of the entire
State, to make the following statement
of facts;
The matter did not, in truth amount
to a disturbance. There was no act of
violence committed, nor even a serious
threat of personal violence to any one.
The employes of the t oad only desired
Mr. Uuuai t, the chief contractor, to res
tore Mr. Babcock, the unnier Superin
tendent, who had, as they claimed, been
unjustly discharged, or pay the amounts
then due them for their services. Mr.
Couant said to them that he could not,
tinder the circumstances, restore Mr.
Babcock, and such bong the cuse, that
if they would all go down to Bruns
wick that evening they should all be
paid off’ on the morrow. There was no
hostile demonstration of any kin I what
ever made, and I am s .ti-fi -d fruit the
information giveu me that there was no
desire or inten n on the part of a ny
one to injure or molest Mr. Avery, Mi.
Couant, or any of them. All came
down together, and seemed to bo on
very good terms, no one dreaming of
any injury being done to any person or
to the pioperty of the comp .ny. It was
suggested to trie next morning that the
(j.satfi c'.ed might possibly endeavor to
prevent the train from going up the
road, und I immediately wei t among
them tor the purpose of asceitain'ng il
such was the c ise, and I was informed
and assured that they had no intention
whatever ol doing so. A few of them
who had been drinking were somewhat
boisterous, and, while cXi ited, may have
remarked that if they were not paid that
day uncording to promise they would
take possession of the road until they
were paid. This, as fur as I. can learn,
was the only extremity proposed, and
that only by a few drunken men, and
that only in the event they should not
he paid. No threats of personal vio
lence were made, and no violence was
intended to be offered to any one.
Mr. Avery, it seems, paid off next
day, and it was simply the wicked man
fleeing and no one pursuing. No dis
turbance had taken place when he left,
and he knew that it could only take
place upon a failure to pay the men as
promised. The men were paid oft as
promised, and the whole matter ended/
being nothing more, indeed, than a tem
pest in a tea pot. Neither Messrs.
Avery,C onant, Kimball or liulbcrt,
called upon me or any of the civil au
thorities, as I am informed, for protec
tion for themselves or the property of
the company, and for the simple reason
that none was needed.
As soon, however, us Mr.’Avery could
reach a station he telegraphed the news
all over the country, that a Serious diffi
culty had occurred on the line of the
road and that it vvas the work of de
signing men in order *-0 prevent the
completion of fifty miles bf the road by
the ISth inst, so that the endorsement
of the State might ho forieited. So far
from ttiis being true, these men express
ed their willingless and readiness, time
alter time, to return and work witlnftit
pay until the fifty miles Were completed,
if thei e was any danger of losing the
endorsement ol the State, and not only
they, but every citiz nos Brunswick,
would have gone up, if it had been nec
essary.
The above is a true statement of the
facta as they occurred.
James Houston,
Ex-Mayor City Brunswick.
We certify, to the best of our kuowl
edge and belief, that the above state
ment is true ; nud that no complaint was
made to, nor assistance asked of either
of us.
J. F. Rowe, Ordinary G. 0
Hiram J. Kkao, Sheriff G. G.
J. VY. Christian, Sol. Gen. B. G.

Mr. Burr Winton offered the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted :
Resolved, That Mr. F. A. Babcock be
requested to furnish for publication a
statement of such facts as he may pus
sess in regard to the late troubles on
the B. and A. R R.
Maj U Dart submitted the following
resolutions :
Resolved, That it is the deliberate con
viction -jf this meeting that no blame
whatever can bo attach to the conduct
of Mr. J. Edwin Uunaiitj with reference
to the alleged disturbanee.
Farther Resolved , That wo hereby
tender Mr. Oouant the warmest expres-
‘ions >. our reg-.rd an i esiernn, and the
siiongHst assurance of the appreciation
of the important and valuable services
rendered us and the people of the State
in his efforts to secure the completion of
the B. and A. E. R.
Which was adopted

of this meeting be tendered Mr. George
H Ilazlehurst, President of the M. and

vice rendered the citizens of Brunswick
in the correcting the fulso impressions
created by the telegraphic reports of
W. D. Avery.

The Baltimore Sth.’s Washington letter
of the 16ih says :
A delegation of colored mer. from
Georgia, representing the colored peo
ple of that State, composed of Simeon
W, Beaird, chairman; Alfred Keteharn,
secretary; T. G. Campbell, Sr., Romu
lus Moore, S. M. Allen, VV. H. Ham
son, George Wallace, Abraham Colby,
J. T. Coster, T. G. Campbell Jr., and
John Warren, all of whom are mem
bers of the Legislature, except the
chairman and secretary, called at the
President’s house this morning and had
an interview with the President, during
Which they ask him to use his influence
to defeat the Bingham amendment, and
urged him to procure suitable legisla*
tion to secure rights to the colored peo
ple in that State, as they say they do
uot now enjoy them. They also ignore
e l till action of the Bryant party, iuform-
W the President that he did not repre
sent tniuu, and that his course was ob
noxious to them. The President listen
ed patiently and courteously to their
representations, and signiftad his desire
that all the colored as well as white peo*
pie of of the South should have theTr
full rights.
An-ilher correspondent gives the
following version of the President’s re
marks to the party :
The President replied : ‘I have not
had the bill you speak of yet presented
to my consideration by Congress. It
passed the House, I understood, by a
large majority, a number of Republi
cans voting for it, aad .the amendment
you speak of was presented, 1 learn by
a Republican member. I feel sure that
the larger number of the Republican
members of the House who voted foi
it were sot uwafe of ihe purport of the
amendment alluded to by you as you
regard it. The bill is- now with the
Senate. When it is presented for my
consideration I sliall give it that atten
ds n I always try to give every sub
ject that concerns the welfare of my
country. lam exceedingly anxious to
have Georgia admitted as a Plate, and
do not propose to throw any unneces
sary obstacle in the way. As for equal
rights and franchises before the law,
they will bn guar.nteed in a very few
days by a constitmi >nul provision, and
1 feel warranted in assuring you will be
carried out to the letter of the law, so
far as the Executive is concerned.”

21. Ihe Senate is in Executive session
on Bradley’s nomination lor the Su
preme Bench.
The Senate remained in executive
session over an hour; confirming Gen.
Pleasanton, vice Bailey, Collector of
Wall street District, New York, and
•toltn P. Bradley Judge of the Supreme

Ware presented,
A bill was introduced transferring the
appointment of iioveuuo Supervisos
to the President.
A bill distributing arms or their equiv
ulent iu ordinance stores' to Soutlieru

i he Georgia bill was resumed.
Drake’s amendment to suppress dis>*

ses from the people was cubed up but
no action was had.
The Senate udj mined.
In the House at regular call nothing
important.
Bills were introduced incorporating
the Indian Territory and Gulf Railroad;
authorizing wa er guages on the Mis
sissippi audits tributaries ; to protec t

ular system of observations; also, to
promote commerce arid amity between
Mexico and the United States, by en
couraging citizens of the United States
to aid Mexico in developing this coun~
try.
A resolution was introduced to the
effect that the South and West are en
titled to more circulation.
The House refused to record the
question, referred to the Banking and
Currency Committee.
The rules were suspended arid a bill
appropriating twenty thousand dollars
to the Sisters of Mercy of Charleston to
rebuild their orphan asylum, passed.
The tariff bill was resumed.
There will be a session to-night for
debate.
Committees nothing.
The Funding Bill. —A very brief
examination of the l anding bill which
has passed the Senate, will satisfy any
intelligent man of the incapacity of our
legislators to do justice to questions of
finance. The proposition to allow trie
issue of national hank notes for green
backs, taken iu connection with the re
mainder of the Baukiug Act, is exquis
itely absurd. It is more of a joke thaa
trio oft otmted resolves of the village so
ciety respecting church enterprise :
‘ Resolved, Tiiat i>« proceed at once to
build anew- brick church.
‘ Resolved , That the bricks and other
material in' the old church be used, as
far as they will go, in constructing the
uew edifice.
'■Resolved, That the congregation wor
ship in the old c.lurch until the new one
is co.nphited.’
The finance measure will beat this,
fur it will stand in all its parts ns fob
lows:
Be it enacted, That the issue of green
backs snail be limited to $356,000,000,
which shad be a legal tender for public
and private debts.
Bed enacted, That national bank notes
shall be issue I t<> the amount of S3OO,
000,000, redeemable in the aforesaid
greenbacks.
Be it enacted, That anew issue of
bank notes umy be made to the lull ex
tent of tlie authorized greenbacks, the
.latter to be withdrawn as the notes am
substituted for them.
Be it enacted, That any bank failing
to redeem any of as issues in green
backs on demand shall be wound up in
charge of a receiver.
Tins i <H»p etes the case. The bank
notes are fust made redeemable in green
backs. Then the quantify of thels.-uies
are doubled and the greenbacks, all with
diaivn and cancelled, but the o -ligation
to redeem m them remains untouched !
T hat will do for the present journal of

Kind Friuids :
la accordance with rav protaise, nearly four
‘ yawr go, to keep yea advised from time to
trine, of my movements as the President of
Andrew Female Qoli gei.it now afli rds me great
pleasure to iuform you that the Boarding De.
partinent of the College i* lull, and more room
is required. Tire present scholastic year will
close with the month of June next, and if “ways
aud meins can be devised, whereby additional
facilities may be given me before the opening of
tire Fifth Animal Session, in October nest, it is
highly important that the fact should be known, i
I would not willingly impose any financial
burden upon the co* muctv. knowing that be-
tween Radical rule and the decline in cotton, you
have quite enough to test the power* of hitman
en Itirmice ; b t yet. I w, u! 1 kiruiiy e«gg**si that
yon continue to guard well and vigilantly yoar
educational aavautagi-s. Politics and cotton,
although on a rampage, arc not to be weighed
in the same scale with the m -otal and moral in
terests of yonr sons and daughters.
But bark! to whither am I tending 1 It is not
my intention to write a speech. I merely de
sire to call y *tir att-ntioo to th* impirUnt fact
t lat the boarding department of Andrew Fe
male Cos lege t'j now fill, and additional room
ought to be, and mist be given me before t e
next year, or else the interests of the institn.ion
wi'l be made to suffer severely. Had I the abil
ity to make such improvements and anaogf
m -nts as are necessary, I would not m ike this
appeal to the people of Cutlibert—hut I have
not. Ton have the College in your midst, und
it is to your interest that it be not checked in
its growing prosperity. Judging from tiie num
ber *)f pupils now in attendance—nearly sixty
of whom are from abroad-and the satisfaction
of patrons a3 reported to me by letter, lam
convinced that with a proper degree of liberali
ty and encouragement on yout part, your College
may become the largest and the most famous
school in the South. And NO’.V is the time to
strike! Railroads and other facilities for travel
are now concentrating here, and if you would
eqjoy their advantages “without Ist or hind
rance,” look to your interests now.
I cannot bear the idea of announcing to the
country at large, that Audrew College has reach
ed the acme of its prosperity, for lack ot capaci
ty .to accommodate the daughters of its numerous
friends.
Such a report would not sound right, comiug
from your elegant community.
At this time I have bourdiug pupil3 from
Northern aad Middle Georgia, South and South
west Georgia, and Alabama and Florida, and
have letters from parents who are looking with
favor upon the College, from South Caroliaa and
Tennessee.
For the preseat I ean take no more 1
Coming back to the chief point under consid
eration. Will you aid me in enlarging my boarding
house cepudty ? Do it in any manner you please,
only let it be done, and done quickly. There is
no time to be lost, or other communities may em
ploy your apathy as a potent argument iu favor
of their institutions of learning, and perhap*,
may offer ihducements hard to be withstood, to
some of your laborious teachers to come and live
in their midst. I speak what I do kuow, and
hence, I would urge you to consider this appeal
for help immediately.
To convince yourselves ihat the appeal has its
foumla lions in fad —pay the College a visit, and
make a personal inspection of the situation.
I have now- spoken—will someone else be
kind enough to take the floor?
I remain, your friend, and ob'dt Serv’t,
