Ntf lson Tift. —The VVashing ington correspondent of the Augusta dhronicle & Sentinel, assails Gen. Young, •and Mr. Tift fur seeking scats in the 44st Congress, drawing SB6O oaoh be fore they were stopped by the commit <teo on elections, when, ns he asserts, they weru only elected to (ill an unex pired term in the 40th. This assault has call *d forth a letter from Mr. Tuft which we find in tbe Alba«y News, and which is to© .lute for this issue of the Appeal. Mot being wo'l informed as to the ques tion under consideration or how long •the officers elected at the time the State .constitution was adopted or was voted 00, wore intended to bold, or are enti* tied under the peculiar circumstances to Jbold either in the State orNational Leg islatur#, we can only say that Mr. "Tift's ietter appears to be a successful vindication of himself against the as sault. The following conclusion of Mr. Tift’s letter will commend itself to all fair minds in the State _• F. 4lb. Yuur corrospoQdent is mistaken as to tho place of my birth—it was Con necticut instead of Massachusetts. But sviiat has this to do with tjie subject? • I have never denied, or been ashamed of the fi'a eof my biith. Ifc was an oi -fiurrence over which I had no control, and for which I claim no credit and feei ne responsibility. But lam responsible for the fact that, from choice, I have been now more than forty years a citi, jsen of Georgia, an‘d that duiing that ,period l have tried to reciprocate tho genarous confidence of her people by devoting my best.energies to her wel. faro. I do not claim exemption from error. I claim nothing but an earnest desire, in common with all the good people of Georgia to aid iu her redemption from misrule. Wo may differ as to the means, but lot us not forget the chairity which is duo to faithful luboc in a right eous and common cause. Very respectfully, your ob’dt serv’t, Nelson Tiit. " B*3?* In the case of Dinah Paschal vs. fleeter Jones, from Dougherty, that “a colored child, born before emancipation, and whilst bis parents lived in wit at was u state of wedlock, who has boon ac knowledged by his father as his child, is the legitimate child, not only of his mother mother, but of his father also, and the father has the rights of a parent pver him." Mr. Kimball offers a piizj for a good nauio for his Mammoth hotel now being built in Atlanta. We offer the following: “The Georgia Hotel”-—very appropriate in a pecuniary poiut of view; “The People's Hotel”—for a political “The Stonewall House"—for gen ™cral popularity. The aforesaid prize may just be turn ed over to any needy, one-legged Con federate soldier about Atlanta. We are under lasting obligations lo om- friend “F.” .for assistance ren dered the present wek in tho absence of the Editor. May his briefs never bo al* breviated and his shadow ne’er grow less. IWL Mr- J. Q. Muthewson, of Ail Railroad Construction and Ma terial Progress. The people of Araericus and Newnan and intermediate points are stirred about bui'ding a road 110 miles long, from one point to the other—through Merri wether, Talbot and other counties.— This is by no means an unimportant step on the railroad chess hoard, when it is considered that Newnan is on the line from the Gulf'to Atlanta; and from the Atlantic coast-via Macon and Griffin to North Alabama, and the great granaries of the North-west. The proposed line would seem to be an extension of the North Alabama roads to Southwest Georgia, and her operating and projected roads direct. The people are also excited about building a railroad from LaGrange. through the counties hf Heard/Carroll, Harralson and Polk toiEome. ■Also from Atlanta towards Decatur, Alabama, through the counties of Cobb, Paulding, and Polk in this State. And tbe extension of the Polk Slate Quarry railroad West, to intersect with the Selina, Rome and Dalton road. The work .ueder f Col. Hulburt, in change of the Brunswick and Albany, Vicksburg railroad, seems to move for ward like magic. It is expected that the whole line West to Eufaula will soon be, if not already under contract, and that a part of the next crop wiil he car. ried from Albany over this line. Col. Crews is pressing the grading-of .the Bainbridgc, Cuthbeit and Colum bus road, and will soon have the first dwonty miles.ready for the superstruc ture. Wo allude to these among the scores of railroad enterprises of the.yoar 1870, and ask, for the purpose of attempting to answer the question, wb* does it all pot tend ? Good, or ill, to our country and people ? This unparallelled spirit of building railroads seems to be general over the South, and .that a large amount of both •capitdl 'and credit is being expended and used in their construction and equip ment, no one for a moment can doubt. Aye, we go a step farther, and say, that u vast amount of Northern capital and Southern credit, are employed iu this business, and at what scem3 r to be a reckless rate. We all know that .the Southern people are not building these numerous.roads with their own money, lit matters not whether the funds are drawn upon company bonds with or without the State endorsement, or whether the people of other sections or .countries, (and it is all-one to us) are to be stockholders and owners of these roads, the proposition is generally true that people outside the S.atc* furnish the larger poi tion of the money. We of the South, with resources of -the greatest wealth on .earth, are to day too poor to build Taflrends, to any con siderable .extent. Railroad It may also be asserted, unless ry is nil diction .and arithmetic a lie, that Ahis same wealth, whether in the hand of a New York banker or Boston man ufacturer, or wbat not, has been, iu great part drawn directly or indirectly from the products of this oppressed and im poverished South. They were the basis of national wealth and power, and to an-extent are so to day. .Why it was, with factß undisputed, and figures that demonstrated the general proposition that we furnished three fourths of the na tion’s exports by our system of slave labor, and apparently upheld credit and commerce on both sides the Atlantic, why it was .that a current of political revolution should have sot in, and a wave of fanaticism beea wpheaved, which no phylosophy or reason, or he roism cohid withstand, and which di rectly threatened the destruction of the whole structure of Southern institutions with their vast results, noneof us could see. Our wisest and best men seem never yet to base comprehended the vast politico fanatic problem. We look back upon tlio vast wreck, and tbe au thors and victims alike are unable to give a philosophic reason which clears all the clouds from it. We know it is dono—we hate its perpetrators; and while we bow to the unalterable decree, and struggle to recover from the effects of general calamity, the shadows of mystery still hang around the whole drama of assault and aggression, of re sistence and revolution, of subjugation and submission, destruction and recu peration. We are witnessing this day an un. bannered and uusabered revolution, equally mysterious, at least to the writer, and we trust far more promising ingesults. The vast wealth garnered from this southern clime, by those who, while hating and despising their sources piled store upon store, and revenue up on revenue, is now under the wild ma nia for speculation and investment, flow; ing back upon us; The cream of the South, that has so long flown in rich profusion on strangers and enemies, and fattened them to surfeiting, has reached the hight of its trade wave, and begins to flow back upon our dessolate and wasted land. Why this is so, who can tell ? It is a field in which we do not now choose to uneable the imagination. We have to do more with ways and means, and with result. Who will say there is a railroad ope rating- in our whole country, that is not a material benefit both to the region in which- it lies, and to the whole country ? Aye, who will stultify himself by believ ing there is one of the many, that are pro jected or proposed, that will fail of these grand objects ? They are tbe subsbti a ice of things to hope for, and the beacon of promise to tbe million. They carry the torch light of intelligence and improvement t> the masses iu ever}’ dark nook and coiner of the continent. Stimulate production, ihc only true ba sis of wealth and power ; bring millions of otherwise waste and useless pro meroe, from the great centers lo.the in terior like the blood of life from heart to extremities, and aFo as essential to the prosperity of this loved country in which we live, as the veins and arteries are to our animal economy. We hear talk of rival lines of railroad. Title may be true in a limited sense. But in any general and comprehensive sense, we discard tbe word rival when applied to these ..great works "of improvement. They feed each other every where, and the more we build and the oftener they cross each other the more food they net and the fatter and more powerful they will grow. If there are ten merchants with stores in a town doing well, build a hundred more stores and bring a bun dred-more merchants, -and it will double and thribble the business of the ten there at first, and all do well. It is the history of all our growing towns and cities, and the same is true of railroads. Let us have them, the more we have and the more frequently the iron horse dashes over them the better for roads and tbe people. Let us shout welcome to every dollar of capital, come whence it may, to this great end, through which our wealth and power are to be re-established. F. A Social Equality Verdict. —ln New Orleans “the first verdict- onder the social equality law” has been the source of much amusement. Thejury, m the first place, was mixed to a re markable degree, and contained Afri. cans, Creoles, Germans, an Irishman, of course, Spaniards, a Frenchman, and na tive Americans. This was a jury de medietato linyucc with a| vengeance.— The strongest argument made against the principle of the law under which the case was tried, was delivered by a full-blooded black, who intelligently' enough .remarked, “Now, gentlemen, this law, if it is a law, is all nonsense I am for letting every man chose his own company, and for keeping out of his house and company any person he don’t care to ’soeiate with. S’pose, now, I give a ball, and invito my colored lady friends, I don’t want any white men to come there and take tny colored ladies away, and I don’t intend to ’trude in the gatherings of white people. It’s not genteel, according to my notions, to go anywhar you ain’t wanted and invi ted.” The Radicals on the jury found it in vain to plead human rights against this logic. Argument, however, was impossible. To increase the fun, the Celtic juror declared that he had made up his mind, and would toll it when the other eleven hail agreed. A German found a solution fur the difficulty.- “Gentlemen,” said lie, “I hear you all. Odo says we must go on the law, anoth er says on the evidence, and another on the justice. Now, if the lawyers would not bother us so, and let us know where was the law, the evidence or the justice, we might find the verdict; but, under the circumstances the only verdict we can find is that “we can’t agree.” And this was their verdict. Red-Cloud Makes an Unfortunate Revelation. —The Washington corres pondent of the Baltimore Gazette, speaking of Red Cloud’s recent official interview with the President and Cabi net at Washington, says : The reasons assigned by this honest and straight forward old. Chieftain, why his “children” should be guaranteed forever in their present landed posses sions, show plainly enough that he is neither a Machiavelli nor a Butler in statecraft, however eloquent ho may be as an orator. He let slip a fact that of itself is quite sufficient to upset any .ti titte the Government could give if rati fied by a thousand guarantee treaties.— He said there were two “mounds, ’or “hills,” or “mountains,” (differently translated (in his territori s (one of them called the “Big Horn Mountain”), in which there was abundance of silver and other precious metals, and his tribe be. ing poor and unarmed, and utterly at the mercy of the whites, he wanted his “Great Father” to give orders that his red children should remain in quiet and permanent occupancy of these mines for their future support! Poor old man! He had scarcely uttered the words when the telegraph was at work, and in less than thirty six hours there were no less than five rival Yankee “companies” on the spot here ready to “explore” and “prospect?’ Red Cloud has had no rest from that hour to the present. He has besides been “interviewed” by eveuy “enterprising” member of either branch of Congress! A happy deliverance to him. Who wonders at his further de tention, and of the endeavors to get him North, instead of his coveted “straight line home.” Immense Immigration.— New York, June 13.—The report of the Superintendent at Castle Garden shows that last week the number of from Liver pool was 4863, from North Germany -3151, from Glasgow and London 1908, and in sailing vessels 1900; total 11,822. Out of this number over 8000 have gone West or into the interior. During the year ending May 31st, over 316,000 im migrant* arrived at Castle Garden, of whom more than one twentieth were Scandinavian. These latter, two thirds of whom havßHgmie West, brought with them nearly $500,000. There has been a gain to the population of this city from the intlux of foreigners during the last twelve months of over 60,000. Out of 50,000 immigrants who arrived last month, New York got 14,000; Illinois, 10,000; Pensylvenia, nearly 6000; "W is* cousin, 3000; Ohio, 2000 ; California, 6000; New Jersey, 1500; New Eng ltmd States, 3000 ; the Southern States, 1700, and others went West. The Nashville Republican Ban ner of the sth declares the crop prospect in Tennessee unprecedented, adding : With a continuance of such favorable weather the finest corn and wheat yield ever known here may be reasonably cal culated upon. The stand of cotton is equally promising, it is estimated the prospect is good for a yield this year of over three millions of bales of cotton in the c >tton belt. An unusual amount of this will be raised this year in Tennes see, the planters have generally also re serve! enough gn und for corn to find them independent of the foreign market for bread and meat. In one county, not twenty miles from the State capital, ten thousand bales are annually raised, and the crop .will probably exceed this esti mate th#s season. The vegetable crop is also large, and, for*a marvel, the fruit prospect is. the best in Tennessee for 1870 than has been experienced for many years. Money Wasted.— Fifty per cent, Was “docked” from the salaries of the Federal office holders-in New York on the first instant, to meet the exapnses of that tremendous defeat which the Rad- Supreme Court Decisions- The following decisions of the Su preme Court were delivered June 15th: Jacob L. Cobb vs. F. B. Morris, ex ecutor, ets. Mutiun for new trial from Randolph. McCay, J.

J udgment reversed. E. L. Douglass, 11. Fielder, for plaintiff in error. A. Hood, Lyon, DeGraffenrcid & Ir vin, for defendant. The case of Bryans against the South western Railroad, which has been so ably managed by our friend, Col. H. Fielder, for plaintiffs, and with which many of our readers are familiar, was decided iu favor of the Bryans—sus taining the verdict of the ' jury in the court below, giving them S2OOO dama ges for breach of coutract on the part of the Road. “All Along the Line.” —Under this heading - the Baiubridge Sun gives its readers a lengthy and comprehensive article upon the general Railroad inter est of that city and section ; and winds up with the following very encouraging statements in regard to the progress and prospects of the Buinbridge, Outh bert & Columbus Railroad : The work is rapidly progressing.— The grading is within a few miles of Colquit, and the cross-ties are ready lor the iron President Bruton is in, or re turning from,-New York, where he has been to purchase the material for the road, and he has been eminently suc ccfsf'ul. The iron has been purchased, and if the stockholders will now do their duty, the road *vill be pushed to Co lumbus, its destination, forthwith.— When*the first 20 miles are completed, the State aid of $12,000 per mile will be available. Columbus will extend her aid, and the counties and towns ‘all along the line’ will not be slow in con tributing to the enterprise which will be a blessing to the State. Now then, let us, with a long pull, a strong pull, and a patriotic pull—all pull together and finish the work. W iiat the Florida Legislature Did. —The following summary of what the Florida Legislature did and did uot we copy from the Floridian: 1. It passed u Funding Bill. 2. It passed a Fee Hill reducing the fees of officers to what they were in iB6O, by which it is supposed a large amount will be saved ou the Tit-usury. 3. It passed an act providing for the election of a Lieutenant Governor in No vember. This will squelch the Govern or’s unlawful attempt to select his own successor. There were other acts passed, but noneofsuch general interest us the above. What it did not do. L It did not give the Governor the chance to manipulate the State bonds in tho matter of funding the State debt, whereat his Excellency is much wroth. -• If did not pass the Agricultural College Scrip bill, to the great disgruo tlement of his Excellency, who is thus cruelly deprived of feathering iiis al ready well stuffed nest with the pickings thereof. 3. It did not recast the revenue law, so as to give the Executive a magnificent income to meet his fondness for magnifi cent expenditure. In short, it did not do divers and sun dry things dear to the heart of our Chief Magistrate, in consequence whereof, as a Reyu blican Senator remarked, “his Ex cellency looks twenty years older.” The result of the session is the “beginning and the end” of Executive corruption, and that lieed is waking up to the fact. So mote it be. The Korn an ian Massacre Hoax.— lt is understood that this disgusting hoax was manufactured in New York city. The Tribune says : “Its publication was an additional in stance of the recklessness with which startling statements are made by irres ponsible associations, which, unable to buy tho news, find a ready resource in inventing it. It also illustrates the readiness with which men who are care ful to accept only the most positive evi dence of their fellows consent to be de ceived by the most improbable stories coming to them in newspapers. The statement as published was probably elaborated from a brief paragraph which appeared last week in a Hebrew paper published in this city, which re ported a few persons wounded in a re cent outbreak in Roumama. An-importaut decision, affectirg warehousemen was rendered in the Superior Court at Columbus, Ga., the other day by Judge Johnson. C. C. Hudson sued Gray, Bedell & Hughes, warehousemen, to recover money for certain cotton stored by C. H. Dudley, who immediately after the storage of the cotton aforesaid,traded the receipts to a third party and then went on to borrow money arid buy bagging and rope without giving his factor notice of tho transfer of the cotton receipts, nor was any notice given them by the purchaser ot said receipt. The Court held that tire defendants, the warehouse' men, wereeutitled to retain all the funds arising from tho sale of cotton, to pay all balances due them, notwithstanding The Republicans Feel the Blow. We copy the following article, under the above head, ' from the New York Sun, a well known Radical newspa per : “The recent elections would seem to indicate a turn in the drift of the politi cal tide. The defeat of so worthy and personally acceptable a candidate as Gov. Jewell in Connecticut, last April, was doubtless due to the unpopularity of Geri. Grant’s administration, and es pecially to its anti-American,-cowardly, and shameful attitude on the Cuban question. Tbe overwhelming Demo cratic majority in this State at the Ju dicial election -was caused in a great measure by the disarrangement and de moralization diffused through '/ ne ran p s of the Republican payty by"the absence of anyjnsoin.ig idea in the conduct of our Hairs and by the unwise lederal appointments made from this State and city. The Toss of Oregon is also a se vere blow to the administration. Tile seat of Mr. Williams, the present Re publican Senator, and one of the fore most men of tlfc slope, was at stake, his term expiring in March next. Great exertions were therefore put forth by the administra tion to carry tbe Legislature; but the Democrats having -secured both bran ches, a member of that party will suc ceed Mr. Williams “fie most signal and significant of these defeats is the election of -Emery, as Mayor of Washington, by more than 8,000 majority over Bowen, the regular Republican candidate, and the emcfidential friend of the President.— , Now that this catastrophe has hap pened to the administration, of course its champions declare that Gen. Grant took no interest in the matter and that the failure to achieve the triumph of his favorite is not a striking proof of his weakness at the Federal capital. The people do not believe this; and at all events, every shrewd politicician will as. sert that if the President did nert use every effort in his power to elect Bowen lie ought to have done so. and that bis delinquency only affords another proof of his incapacity to lead a great party in a trying crisis. “In any view of the result, the stun ning overthrow of Bowen, under the very eve ot the White House, in the presence of a Republican Congress, and in a city swarming with the beneficiaries of the President, must be accepted as an indication that either his days or tiiose of Ins party are drawing to a close,” A New York dispatch of the Ifitli, says • The excitement in our mar kets for ffnur and wheat yesterday, was something remarkable. The sales of wheat considerably exceeded 300,000 bushels. The French were targe buy ers, and their presenes iu the market led to an active speculation. A further large advance is not im probable. Great Britain, as appears by late circulars, is not getting any foreign wheat except from the United States. — The demand at this market for the con tinent lias interrupted her supplies, and eho will soon feel the want of them, but ttie molt in p a t int act is the falling oft of the receipts at the lake ports, which, according to tbe statistics, weie, for the week ending June 11th, 9,200 bushels of wheat and 2,600 barrels of tlour, or reducing the flour to wheat, equal to 80\£00 bushels less than for the corres podding week last year. This in cun' neetion with an increased demand, can hardly be over estimated. Congress and Georgia —Ex Repre sentative Tift has returned from Wash ington to his home in Albany, and the News says be thinks tha-t a gradual change is going on in the minds of Con gressmen, a*tfd that Georgia is gaining friends.
