THE CUTHBERT APPEAL FVKRT TUCKS DAT WORKTXO BY’ SAWTELL & JONES. 11. H. JON E S, Editor. THURSDAY, APRIL 28. I*7o. jggr Rev. M. B. Wharton the gifted pastor of the Eiifaula Baptist church, line been invited to New Orlenas on a •alary of $3500,00. Young America Fire Cos. No. 3 of .Macon has accepted the invitation of C’leburn No. 1, of Etifanla to attend their anniversary patadc on the sth of May. A good time is expected. •Jen. Grant opposes the Geor gia Bill ns passed by the Senate. He favor* immediate representation in Con gress, and the admission of the Stale, elections to be held in November. This is substantially the ingersoll bill. Sg)u The insurgents in Cuba aie re ported active and resolnto. Jordan’s whereabouts arc uncertain. The report is that lie is iti Nassau with 6 companies en route for New York; another that he was killed in attempting to leave Lhj Island. Still another, that ho remains in Cabo. BUT The editor ot tins paper was prevented from attending the State Press Association at Savannah by do mestic afflictiom We trust our brethren may accom plish mucli hy their assembling togeth er in council, and doubt not they were, treated with royal hospitality by'the people of Savannah. U®u.Th« Georgia Baptist Convention , after an interesting debate, by a vole of 71 to 16 decided to change the location of Mercer University. It will piobubly be removed to M aeon. Offickrh Elect of tub Baixbridqr, CnriißSßT & Columbus Railroad.— From the Bainbridgo Argus, it will be soon that at the late meeting of the Stockholders of tho Bainbridge, Cutht bert & Columbia It tilroad which was numerously attended, the old Boiyd of directors were unanimously elected, and the Board then proceeded to re-elect President Bruton, and all the old officers to their former positions. We trust all will now sink personal and individual preferences, and unite hand and heart in the great work of pushing, forward to an early completion, this important enterprise : The meeting of tho stockholders of the B. 0. &• C. Railroad Company which was advertised in some of the papers, took pine* in this city on the 19th inst., and v»- B understand was nu merously attended, |>nd that tho action of tliemeeting was clou act rizod hy una nimity and the host of feeling. The old board of Directors were unanimously elected, who subsequently met and re elected Bruton, President, and all the old officers to their respective positions. A ros'dution was passed asking the Legislature to extend tho line of their load to,King#Uwi, Gass county, there to connect with the State Road. Ihe report ol tho President we have not seen, bat understand tho prospects of the road are encouraging. The Political Situation. —Georgia w still tlis piny thing and sport <•!' ttie Radical Congress, without place or po aition among the powers of earth. To and iy a State, to-morrow a Territory, subject to tlio whim and caprice of But ler and Sumner, they continue to play at battle (tor and shuttle.cock with her, until at length onr own pe iph; have well nigh lost interest in tiie game, which so nearly concerns them. A sickening disgust for the author* «>f our wrongs, and increased hatred for the government which oppresses them, •re the prevailing sentiments of our people. Verily this isgi novel way to concili •to pub ic opinion, and restore ihe union as it once t x steJ. The term union now has indeed lost it* legitimate signification, and means kate, discard* and strife. Yet amnesty and kind treatment, might'once have united the country, and to a great extent obliterated the terrible memories of the past, Now, generations yet unborn wiT continue to cherish the recollection o. »ur wrongs and humiliation. Wicked ruler* *re indeed the direst curse to a people. BfST Tiie irrepressible O. 11. Hup. kins has come out with a card denying that he was lately snubbed in Darien, by tua black brethren of the Town Council. , lie *ay» also that every office in the State, including that of Governor, Sen ator, and Representative in .Congress has been laid at his feet, but ho was too magnanimous to accept ot the same and only consented to ruu for Mayor of favatwah (and bo beaten 3000 votes Fd .Appeal), to test whether Georgia was fit to be * peeonstructed (If radical enough, Appeal) This old marplot has bad his fangs ex tracted, and is now powerless to do harm. A scheming unscrupulous man, he has-nearly reached the end of a long life, without finding out that honesty is the beet p#liey. Ingrates and traitors will come to grief in the long run, however, and he ia now despite these grandiloquent as •ertfanfy no victim of a- disappointed and unhoiy ambition, «!►* - ■■■ -■ 13T The attendance upon'the Press Conventions at Savannah is not as large as- was expected. The eago of tho Telegraph & Mes senger seems to be on a regular bender and is us fiolickrmae as u year old colt. Wo were not a little amused with his later written cn route. Rook out Brother Ctisby for an at tack of gout after all the turtle, Madeira & other good cheer of tho ee+iboard. The Telegraph reports naming ot conse ini.-ucr a.oins on at Washington. Help for the Jacksonville Church- 0 It was onr privilege two Sabbath* since to listen to an eloquent, and search ing discourse delivered from bis own pulpit by Rev. J. L. DeVeaux of the Presbyterian church in Jacksonville, Florida. The remarks of the speaker were di rected against tWe prevailing sins of he day, both national and private; and faithful and true was the portraiture set forth. As be expatiated upon the desecra tion of the Sabbath, the intemperance, gambling, profanity, and licentiousness to he seen in every community; the tVickednesH and corruption in high' places, and the heresies and hypocrisy which had even crept into the church, wo were forcibly reminded of the apt illustration of the latter, presented- by the action of the Northern General As sembly to his own congregation. That little flock, driven from its own sanctuary,, persecuted, and seattered abroad, had-only been saved from de struction by the fostering care of the Great Shepherd. * Nor lord it yet been able to erect a tabernacle for the God they served, but were forced to worship Him in an in covenient hal ! , devoted to secular pur pose. * Since the age of fire and faggot,- and blood-stained bigotry, no parallel case <<f religions intolerance and oppression, can be found in the annuls of any Pro testant country. The temple from which they were ex pelled by the efforts of two or three rndiyal Zealots, is a neat and tasty edi fice situated upon a lot which was do nated by a Southern lady, and was built mainly with Southern contribu tions. Ht'appear* that when the Southern confederacy was proclaimed, tho Jack sonville church in common with every other in the cotton states, seceded almost by a unanimous vote from the Northern Assembly, and supportad-aSouthern pas. tor (Mr. Little), until toe city was oc cupied by tho Federals. At that period one Dr. Mitchell a former slave owner, and a volunteer in arm* against the yankees, inspired with sudden loyalty, and wishing to afford proof of his fidelity to his new masters, called a meeting^of the strangers and carpet bag crowd then nominally in at tendance upon that church, but not mem bers of it, and! by a vote rescinded' the resolulion of separation from the North orn Assembly, and renewed its adhesion to that Body. In the vote then taken but three of the actual members of the church sustained Dr. Mitchell in his treacherous course. When the war ended, this usurping element and their renegade leader, re tained possession of the keys of the building, and refused to admit the re turning communicants to their own sanctuary. In this thry have been forrfbajly up held by a Radical Judiciary, and the Noi them Assembly, and in poor down trodden Florida submission is the only alternative. Led cm ijpwever by their devoted fMandard beatar Mr. DeVeaux, and Eb det# Baker, and Gilchrist, they have struggled nobly and powerfully for the “ crown rights ” ol Christ, and the peti tion forwarded to tiie Northern Assem blv, ami the unanswerable protest against the exports, an I infamous decis ion of that religious tribunal, published hy order of the Presbytery of Florida, are manly and complete vindications of the cause of this oppressed congrega tion. And now tlris feeble hfpd still reso lute and undismayed, appeal for help to their brethren all over this broad kind, that the}’ may once more erect their Eb en'ezer, and plant the sacred banner of the cross upon the outer wall of their sanctuary. In this case deuomfnatifmaF prefer ences are lost to view. The question presents itself from a (Southern and con federal* stand point. Because might has prevailed against right atfd a gallant people havosuccumlv ed to the force of superior numbers, shall the church of Christ extend rv> helping hand to an association of evangelical chtLtians who have been plundered and oppressed by the conqueror ? On the contrary, let every servant of God join in the praiseworthy work of restoring tlio waste places of this devo ted people, esteeming it a privilege to succor those who have suffered in their masters oauae. We trust in a short lime their pastor Rev. T. L. DeVeaux yfiil present tho claims of his charge in person so otir citizens, and we bespeak for him the sympathies and charities of tho people of God. 1®” The New York Commercial Ad vertiser, a Radical paper, very properly suggests : “While President Grant is considering the subject of removing the disabilities of Southern- men, let him re member that one of their chief disabili ties is poverty, and that as long as the screaming farce of “Double Headed- Reconsti uctiou” is enacted at Washing ton, there can’t be much improvemea-t.” Bollock Go.nb Home. —lt is ruresoFerl, sii-ys tho Atlanta Constitution, tliatPra visional Governor Bullock has gone to his home in Albion, New Y«»k, proba* bly to recruit his shattered nerves, which/ ifr is- said, suffered a severe shock by the recent untoward political events in the capitol at Washington, The President and ms Gbokgia Bill. —The Washington coi-respondeat of tiie New York Post says : ' la conversation with your correspon dent last evening previous to 1 the pais sage of the bill by the Senate, the Pres ident said he hoped the Pomeroy amend. Went would not bo adopted ; ho regard ed it as mischievous, and likely to cause trouble; and he added witli a good dead of emphasis,‘l want recon struction to end, and the Potneroy amendment only delays it.’ ” The Worth of the Radical Dy nasty that now Riles Geor gia and Her Millions. We have deemed, says the Atlanta Constitution, that it would not be an uninteresting contribution to the polit ical history of this boasted era of Rad ical reconst ruction, to furnish a state ment of the pecuniary worth of the Radical dynasty that now rules the gieat State of Georgia, her hundreds of thousands of citizens, and millions of wealth. It has been one of the cardi nal rules of our civilized republic, that taxation and representation run togeth er in the scheme of government. How far Radicalism conforms to the canons of advance civilization, we can now see. The tax digests of 1869- show Some very instructive facts. The summary we give may not be minutely accurate, but is a close approximation-. We in* (dude in tiie dynasty the Executive-and Uis State House, State road and legis lative supporters, These about consti tute our rulers and law makers. His Excellency, R. B. Bullock, who draws thousands of dollars on the Na tional Bank, returns no property, and is a defaulter for his poll tax f*r 1869. Gaptain Superintendent-Senator Fug ter Blodgett returns no property in Fulton or Richmond counties, and is likewise a defaulter, according to the digests. Should we or the digests do injustice to either of these pre-emineuily disUn guished individuals, we shall take great pleasure in correcting it. Upwards oj forty five of the Governor ’* legislative supporters art in the same impe' cunious predicament, returning no property, and pi tying the ho not able toll of poll-tax defaulter , The Radical Brobd gang, Supervisor and Terrytorial Parliamentarian, A. L. Harris, returns nothing ia Chatham or Fulton counties. State road Treasurer S. P. Hairis returns $1,050. The Washington Chronicle states that Speaker McWhorter is tho largest land owner and planter in his county. The Speaker gives »n his magnificent posses sion, of all kinds, at seven thousand dol lam ! Forney also says, that Ephrirn.Twee dy retired from business on ample means. His ample means are ten thou sand four hundred dollars.. This is about the biggest plum in the Radical pi«- Mr. President Conley returns $6,500. Korney praises him much as a Radical Republican This laudation of course covers Conley’s vote against the Fif teenth Amendment, which killed it in Georgia The Chairman of the Finance Com mittee, selected, of course, for his mon etary ability, returns no property, and pays one dollar poll tax. All of Bullock’s supporters, as afore said, aggregate about one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, all told. And this petty amount of property furnishes the Government lor our great State. And this body of men has recently been in sesion over thirty days, exhaus ted the treasury of more than as much money as they weie all worth, without enacting a single bill, and only passing i\ s ilußons, one to pay themselves for two weeks adjournment, and an''*.! l '’ l ' to prevent anybody else being paid. We give these statements as ju-t to the people, and as an offset to a gran diloquent blow in Forney’s Chronicle about our Radical Legislature, Will the Chronicle, copy ? Tub Georgia Bill in tub House— Logan offers an Amendment—Bingham .approves The Washington cmrospon dent of the New York Herald thus tele graphs on the 20th instant : The bill was returned to the House to-day, and several amendments were offered, and was then referred to the Reconstruction Committee. The amend merit offered by General Logan is nn deistood to meet the approval of edge Bingham, and will probably be urged by hun in the House, ever, if it is repor ted adversely upon hy the committee It is as follows : “ Be. it enacted. That art election shall be held in the State of Georgia' in No vember, 1870,.f0r all the members of the General Assembly of said State, pro vided for in the constitution of said State adopted hy its convent on ofi-Hth day of March, 1868, at which election all persons who hy said constitution are electors shall be entitled to representa tives fn Congress.” It is understood that General Butler favors the amendment offered by Mr. Cessna, of Pennsylvania. It consists of the original House bill for the arhnissHMi of Georgia similar to lho Virginia and Mississippi bill, with the amendment of Senator Williams, which provides that the next election for members of the Georgia Legislature shall be held in November,. 18T2; the amendment of Gov. Morton, agreed to Fust night, which provides for the organization of State militia, and the amendment of Senator Sherman, empowering the President to> Use the army to suppress domestic vio lence in air the States. These are added as new sections to the original House hill. The Beuoorats of the House held a caucus to night to agree upon, some course to be pursued on the Georgia bill, but owing to » slim attendance the caucus was postponed. The bill will be considered next Tuesday at the meeting of the Reconstruction Commit tee. The New York Times snya : As it come* from the Senate, the bill facilitates indefinite delay, which is not what the country wants, or what the people of Georgia are entitled to. The subject is once more before the House Committee, and no one knows when or where it will end. E3T The negroes has a political ad vantage over the white native borri cit izen a» well as the white foreigner. The latter ca.mot be President or Vice Pres ident of the United States. A negro can. The negri* has, in Ohio, schools of his own, for the directors of which negroes only can vote At the same time the negro is allowed to vote for the member»of the white man’s School Board. At the late election it was the negro vote which terminated an exciting question between the whites, viz: wheth er the Bible should’ or should not, be read in tire-schools Thus the negroes, in, the first place, exclude the whites from directing their schools,. ancT then they turn in and govern the white.— Cincinnati Enquirer. *@r*A«New Hampshire man, ag«d somewhere about a hundred, was per suuded by his pfiysieiu-a to- give up smoking, and died almost immediately; whereupon the doctor, anxious so excuse his own murderous prescription, has the* cool assurance to assert, in the face of facts, that his patient was killed by to bacco. Tit* Mormons Preparing for Vi ar It is stated by telegraph that the Mor mens buying all the arms and am munition they can obtain for the ostes - si hie object of protection* against Indian hostilities, but the Indians- heave, never been hostile to the Mormons. Tho Disast r on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad- We published yesterday a brief ac count <>f the accident to an cxi-insion train on the Macon and Brunswick rail road. From a gentleman who arrived on tiia gulf train yesterday morning, we gather the following additional facts of this heartendering affair : The train, with an excursion party from'Quitman and Valdosta, numbering about one hundred and fifty persons, male and female, left Brunswick at forty minutes past six o’clock on Friday us ternoon last, and while running over the trestle work at about sixteen miles from the city, the train composed of three coaches and three box ears was thrown trom ttie track into the low swamp. The trestle was only five feet high. The cars- w«-re so completely wrecked that it was with great difficulty the passengers, who were crushed with the timbers, were extricated. The track was ripped up for about twenty yards in rear us Vue tram. There being no physician on the train, the wounded stiff-red a gieat deal until they reached Jesnp, whe’e they received every attention from the railroad men and the inhabitants of the town. Bel w we give a list of the killed and wounded : Killed —C. W Knowles, of Black shear; ohn Parker, of Quitman; Winn, colored chid, of Q.itmui. Seriously Wounded — liastv Winn, Monroe Greiner, A. Greiner, Ben ■ Hit yard, Celia Fry, (all ot the above col ored, and belong to Quitman;) Wm. Baker, colored train bund, right leg broken. Slightly Wounded —A. Filming, C. Wilkis n and C. oy, of Quitman; J. Boston, Thus Cook, B. Goodwin, H. Bragwell, A. A Harrold and H. Lane, of Valdosta; Mrs. T. L. Strickland, W. L. Cole and D. B Patterson, of Blackshear; Mrs. M. Knowles, Cap tain A. S. Canuet, Savannah.—Savan nah Republican. Meeting of Kailimau C hekidests— A report is current <m the streets that a meeting of Railroad Presidents will take place at Atlanta tomorrow ; and that the object is to raise the price of freight—to do away with tho Green Line—ami.to ‘bust’ np the- present ar rangements. generally. We hope not. Tiie Green Line is now d<'ir>tr lovely. It is proinp' y bringmg forward goo, s in as quirk time as any origination or combination could pnssiuly do. True, it was somewhat overcropped last win ter, but it now has mole cars and a better system. VVu hope these officials will spare us the-antedelnvian and proadamite plan of transferring their freight to each oth er’s cars at IHe termin.-uion of ah their roads. Com, for instance wit' lose more in thus being handled that the in voice calls for But, perhaps, we are to have something better substituted something like Milton’s Paradise host, •yet unattempted in prose or rhyme.’ And.so condemnations in advance are strictly impolite, tinjiis and out of or. der. Spare us rhe old plans, though, for they like Bullet’s h rse, were ‘pole oviled ring honed, swinnied, spavined, sore backed, boh-unhid anu hip shot ten.’ — Telegraph Sf Messenger. The Thirty-Eight State.—The Wash ington Republican says : ‘There is no longer any d"uht that before Congress adjourns, an enabling-act will be passed to authorize New Mexico to organize a State Government, elect two Senators ami one Representative to Congress, and apply for admission : to the Union Next December. The proposition to create the thirty eighth State at first met with som-opposition, but this hum disappeared under the assurances that New Mexico will be as Republican in form. The Committee on 'territories are already prepared in the House to report a bill' New Mexico contains nearly eigh y millions of acres of land and a population exceeding one hundred thousand.’ We Wouldn't belinve the follow ing of Boston if we hadn’t read it in a Biwton paper, anfl the Boston papers, as eveTytauly knows, never got so exei ted as to exaggerate ; “A widow, who has followed successively three hus bands to the grave, entered a well known jewelry establishment in this city last Saturday, and producing the three silver plates which had first adorned the coffins of the dear depart'd, desired the proprietor to have ttiem made over into a butter knife 1” tsr We learn from the NewnarvDe fender that on Saturday last, in Cowe ta county, a negro named George Fa vor killed another negro named George Tucker, and was .- ssistered in llie mur derous work by Tucker’s wife. They cut off Tucker’s head and threw his body in a dry well. They were discov ered, arrested and scut to the j.iii of Troup county. ~~ ' On Ilia morning ot the 2 -Ih inst.. at tire resi dence of the bride’s brother, West Harris. E*q.. by the Rev. E. 11.
