THE CUTHBEET APPEAL, Published Every Satufday Koraing by SAWTELL & JONES. H. H. JONES, Editor. SATURDAY, AUGUST G, 1870. The Mobile papers contain accounts of a terrible gale which visi ted that city on the 30th ult. The tide rose to a great height, and houses were unroofed and many vessels and steam ers drfven from their moorings and some of them destroyed. An enthusiastic Frenchman in New Yotk offers to bet SIO,OOO that Napoleon will dictate a peace in Berlin within OOdays. The eqally confident Germans swear that Frederick will bo thundering at the gates of Paris in less than a month. — Quien sale ? War Newo. Despatches from London dated Aug. 2d., say that Mr. Gladstone the leader of the HLonse of Commons emphatically announced that Englands position was hot only that of perfect neutrality, but one of friendship for each of the be'lig creuts. Every effort had been made to restrict within legal bounds the sale of coal. It is still claimed that the needle gun is superior to the chusse pot, the latter fouling much more easily. Skirmishes along the line are now of frequent occurrence. On the 2d inat. as official despatch from Metz says, a serious engagement took place at 11 o’clock that day between a portion of the two armies. The French-assumed the offensive and crossing the bounda ry stormed and took the heights which overlook Saarbruck, the artillery driving the enemy from the town. The Ernpe. ror directed operations in person, and the young Prince, who for the first time came under fire, acted with much cool ness and disregard of danger. King William departed for the scene of hostilities on Sunday, and rode to the station in an open carriage attended by his weeping queen. The nobles and populace turned out by thousands, and gave him a grand ovation. The excitement is said almost to have amounted to delirium. Triumphal arches were formed, the ground strew «and with flowers, and his progress inter, rupted by the benedictions and cheers of the crowd which was composed of all ■ranks. Bismark alse appeared and was encored. The Prussians have now a half million of men on the frontier. A famine is expected on the Rhine, wo great is the dearth of provisions.— The Emperor of Franco to save the starving people, draws his army sup plies from remote points by rail. The woman of France are sending immonse supplies of bedding and hospital stores to the army. It is reported that the French have declined the services of General’s Lee and Beauregard. We have no evidence, that they were ever oflered. The correspondents of the press im prisoned at Metz, have been released. It is rumored that Weissenberg has also been stormed and taken by the Emperors forces. Later intelligence from England con veys the opinion that she designs oc cupying Belgium with an army for its proteetion. This will be very distaste ful to Austria and France, and may lead to war. Sweden, Denmark Austria and Switzerland, are all arming, and raising, or placing armies of observation on their borders. Bismark and Napoleon assort !y the contrary in their versions of the secret treaty. Diplomacy seems to be the science of telling, and covering up false hoods- The renowned Prussian min'ster has donned the cuirass, and goe* to the front at the head of a regiment. The reports of the relative merits of the needle and chasse pot guns arc con* Aiding. One account says tho French are dispirited because of the admitted inferiority of the latter. Another asserts that in a recent engagement where the firing began simultaueouly at a distance of 800 metres, tho balls of the needle gun fell short 100 metres, while some Prussians were killecfby tho Chasse pot The French arsenals are turning out 60,000 of tho latter per week. Citizens of France found on Prussian soil, are conducted to the frontier in chains, and ipffde to pay tho expenses of confinement at night while en route.— Despite this, the French Emperor with the characteristic politeness of his na tion, proclaims that all enemies shall be treated with courtesy and respect until they can leave the couutry. The French made an assault in force on Saarbruckon but were vigorously re pulsed. No particulars. The home force of England amounts to ouly 60,000 men. The English army never compared in number with those of the continent, but have always been more efficient. Father Ilyacyntho has comes out in a written manifesto against infallibility, which causes great sensation. The French will not evacuate Borne before September. Italy guarantees order in Rome, but deposits of arms have been discovered, and some advise the Holy Father to take refuge in rock bound Malta. lie remains for the pres ent at the Vatican. Gen. Toombs and Jefferson Davis, are among the visitors at the White Sulphur springs. All the Vir ginia watering places have reduced their Fates of board. S6O per month is the amount notv paid at the White Sul phur. Tax. —The Governor in a pro clamation orders that four-tenths of one pepxccut be assessed and collected up on tW. amount of the value of the property returned by the tax-payer, sub ject to taxation ad valurom, Swedish Immigration in Jones- Our Jones county friends hold a meet ing in Clinton, next Saturday, to pro mote Swedish immigration to thatcouD* ty. They have secured a few immigrants from that country, and both parties are well pleased with each other. We un del stand there wil be no difficulty in se curing more, and Jones county wants five hundred. They wish to make them, so soon as they can learn the language and get accustomed to climate and the agriculture, proprietors of the soil aud fellow citizens of the household of faith. They are a good, quiet people, and Jones is getting a little tired of carry ing the nigger on her neck. The Swe> des can be brought over for about sixty dollars a bead. The above from the Maoon Telegraph is very significant. It was our good fortune to witness the arrival at Macon of the band of stalwart Swedes, who have cast their lot with tho people of Jones county. Finer specimens of manhood we havo never beheld. The emigrants were well dressed, hale, and muscular, and seemed quite intelligent. A few hun dreds of such, introduced into every county in the State, would achiove won ders, and teach Sambo a most salutary lesson. The freed in an is possessed with the idea that he is a vastly important char acter, and perfectly indispensable to the whites in the cultivation of the soil. Hence he uow claims half of the pro ducts of the farm, and yet thinks he has the liberty to absent hiafself from the held every Saturday, attend as many political and religious meotings as he pleases, sleep until the sun is an hour high, abandon his contract at pleasure, be rude and insulting to his employer, and in other words, act independent of, and indeed in antagonism with those who give him food, shelter, and employ, merit. lie is also to be above, and superior to blame and eensure for any offence,-let the same be drawn never so mildly, and woe be to the proprietor who has him arrested for hog stealing, crib breaking, adultery, or drunkenness. Now this is the result of carpet-bag teachings, and the ignorance of the blacks. Nor can any remedy be ap plied, save that which the people of Jones County have adopted. Let a sprinkling of intelligent, ath letic and honest white laborers bo brought in, to teach the negroes the true relation which subsists between capital and labour, and tho tenant and his land holder, and very soon the indo lont African will find no must do like other people, either work or starve. Again, lot the laws be rigidly en forced against petty larceny, vagrancy etc., and that would also tend to abate the evils of the present situation. We repeat, let us invite to our farms a class of intelligent white laborers who really understand fruit growing, vine dressing, and horticulture in all its branches, and who will have some am bition to excel, and eventually make substantial and ttseful citizens. One hundred such, introduced into Randolph County, would do more to teach the negro his true mission, and es top the demoralization of our domestic labor, than every other combination of means. What are the facts at present, con cerning the profits of agriculture ? Is it not admitted that those alone farm prof itably who toil with their own hands, and employ one or two negroes only, who are forced to keep the same hours and go through a similar routine of daily duly with the proprietors ? Left to themselves, or massed in large numbers on any plantation, experiment has shown that negro labor is not only unremucerative, but ruinous to the land owner. Our true policy then is to diminish our acreage, or subdivide our farms, pla cing a very new negroes on each por> tion under the lead and guidance of in telligent white laborers. When Coffee finds that others will •tep into his shoes, and leave him out in the cold, if he does not spur up. and go to work differently, his improve ment will be rapid and decided. We do not wish to drive him from the old plantation. All we desire is that he should be taught wholesome lessons of honesty and industry, and acquire that moiety of respect which is duo to his employers and superiors. or An attempt to reoonsider the passage of the prolongation bill in the Georgia Benate was lost by a largo ma jority. To place all the cities of Georgia un der negro radical rule, bills are being introduced into tiro Legislature exten. ding their carplimits so as to em brace neighboring plantations and black centres, and thus control a majority of votes. By this proceednre the taxes and ex penses of each city will be enormously in creased while the new citizens will pay little or nothing into the treasury. A more deliberate and high handed attempt to destroy municipalliberty and africanize our trade centres, was never conceived. If these things are done in the “green tree,” what will take place in tho “dry,” when Bullock armed with anew lease of power, and bucked by his sable bayonets shall sway the des tinies of Georgia. The Macon Telegraph & Messenger, publishes a copy ol the bill introduced by tho vagabond Fitzpatrick, which thus proposes to rivet the radical set. ters which bind that city. ** Are these things to be submitted to ? The Indian Spriugs are in the full tide of success, and hundreds are now quaffing the healing waters and enjoy ing the amursmenta apd delightful cli mate of that celebrated spot. The Mclntosh House is more popular than ever. it is said that ex-President Jefferson Davis and Gen. Tombs met a few' days ago at Lookout Mountain and renewed their funner friendly relations, after an unpleasantness of many years. We are gratified to hoar it. Legislative Venality* The Senate of the packed and mer cenary crew who claim to represent the State of Georgia, has by the decided vote of 14 to 21 passed the resolution to prolong its constitutional term of of fice, and going a step beyond, even re peals the election laws of the State. The grandiloquent and incorruptible, Smith of the Seventh Diatirict, said ten days ago he was in favor of an election but his opinion bad changed, now he was for prolongation. God had unfurl ed the stars and stripes and intended to hold them unfurled. Magnificent blas phemy. What greenback argument could have aroused such a gush of pa triotic ardor ? Even his black brother Aaron Alpeoria had the courage to de nounce what he termed these “rebellious resolutions,!’ though he did subside and “vamose tho ranch” before the final vote was taken. That the House will follow suit and affirm, that although for two years they have had mileage and perdiem sufficient even to satisfy the most greedy, and their legislation stands unrepealed and in full|Jpee, still their functions and their pay are only about to commence, vre have not a shadow of doubt. So far as Bullock and his minions can revolution ize aud bankrupt the State it will be most effectually done. But is this to be tamely submitted to ? We trow not. The feconstructed State of Georgia has now tb® right to appeal to the Gen eral Government, for redress and deliv. eranco from the unsnrpations of a pro visional legislature, who seek to perpet uate their rule, in the face of law and constitutional enactment. The President has already indicated that elections should be held, and it is universally conceded also that such is the opinion of' the Atty. General of the United States. Congress too in the very phraseology of the act which was passed, declared that nothing was to be construed to prevent any election provided for by the constitution of Georgia. Let these powers be appealed to then at once, that we may know whether re construction is a reality, or we are still to be at the mercy of the masters who lord it over us. If with punic faith, as in North Car olina, the army aDd navy of the United States are to be used to nullify its own decisions , and sustain a rebellious faction then God help our people, for surely the fate of Hungary or Ireland would not be a circumstance to ours. But let us test this matter at once. It is fortu nate indeed that tho voice of our State will soon be heard in the great Conven tion which will assemble in Atlanta on the 16th inst. We hopo for and expect much from the calm deliberations of that Body, by far the most important ever convened since the close of the war. Let every county in the State be represented by As fj/olcst and most prudent citizens; j«- The Emperor of France has been received with great enthusiasm at the head quarters of the army, and upon assuming the command, issued a stirring bulletin to his soldiers, which has evoked the commendation ever, of his most malignant Opponents. It resembled the trumpet toned ad dresses of the first Napoleon, which from time to time electrified his follow ers, and reverberated to the confines of Europe. The Empress is also enacting her part right gracefully in the grand drama whose denoument is rapidly has tening. At Cherbourg she read in person ths Emperors address to the navy, awakening the wildest enthusiasm among the tars of France. She also as regent, presides in the councils of the Empire, and may yet prove herself to be a mete spouse for tho greatest crown ed head tho world can now produce. How different this conduct from the language and actions of the indolent queen of the Bourbons, who, when rev olution culminated, and a hungry crowd clamored at the gates of the Tuilleries, asked what those people wanted ? When told that their cry was concerning bread, tho naively remarked, if they don’t like bread why don’t they eat cake. The hubbub about the secret treaty which exercised our English cousins so terribly has ended in smoke. It seems that no offer had ever been made by France to Prussia, other than that proposed on the Rome question by the Earl of Clarendons, Englands rep resentative. The New York Journal of Com merce says, even if such a treaty had been submitted by France in diplomatic confidence, as the same had been reject ted and no further steps had been taken, it was an act of bad faith to give pub licity to the proceedings. Tho war feeling seems to be subsi ding in Albion, and indeed it is asserted by the Prussians, and denounced with much bitterness, that just now England is making a good thing by supplying the French with coal and other articles. An appeal to the pocket it would seem is far more tranquilizing to strife than oil poured upon water. The North Carolina atrocities of Holden and Kirke, still continue. A re porter of the New York Herald gfves a graphic sketch of Kirke and his raga. muffins. They are about as shirtless as Falstaffs crowd, and would make even poor food for powder. Kirke clainis that the President is in full accord with him, and has ordered the half of a crack regiment to his sup port. His braves are in mortal fear of a sudden attack from the veritable Ku- Kluxes, and sleep upon their arms at night. When will this tragical hoax and me lo drama be pnt a stop to ? Got Us. —We were asked, yesterday, which is preferable, the right man in a tight place, or a tight one in the right place ? There’s a field for discussion to those who Itke to “argue the point,”— Telegraph Sf Messenger. Remarks of Hon C. B. Woo ten, on tile Prolongation Resolutions. From the Atlanta Daily Sun. "Whatever may have been the effect of the expulsion of colored members as to the future, it could not alter the fact that the term of the service of the Legis lature had begun in July, 18G8 The Government had been regularly inaugu rated, and it had continued, up to thqt time at leas, unaltered. That is an in dependent, substantial fact, and it cannot be ignored. The Legislature fTSTTstfi vanced through a part of its term, and, unlike the shadow in the sun dial of Ahaz, it could not move backwards— the past was secure. In December last, Congress saw prop er to interfere with Georgia. Does that act of Congress disprove the existence of the State Legislature ? An analysis of it will show just the contrary. Cju. gress assumed that the acts of the Leg islature with regard to the colored mem bers were illegal, and violative principles of Republican government, and under the provision of the Constitu tion making it the duty of Congress to* guarantee to each State a Republican form of government, that body took to remedy the alleged evil by reor ganizing a Legislature that bad already been organized. This Congress might, with equal propriety, have done, linger similar cirpunistances, in the case of tttiy State of tfie Union. . 4 Eight or wrong, this is the which a resort to interference is Justified A Nowhere in that act is the governrni m of Georgia termed provisional. * And if any of its language could be even tor tured into a pretext for an extension of the term of this Legislature, the more recent law of Congress comes to -she rescue of the Constitution, when it de< dares in. emphatic words, that nothing in that, nor any other act of Congress, shall be construed to affect the term for which any member of tho General As sembly was elected as prescribed by the Constitution. But, it is said that the act of Congress which became a law in December last, required the adoption of the fifteenth amendment. This is true, Mr. President, and though it will be found very difficult to reconcile-ttes requisition witli the theory of govern ment provided for in the Constitution of the United States, still it cannot affect, nor was it intended to affect, the trutli that the term of service of this Legisla ture began in July, 1868. This was a new requirement. It was not a condi tion precedent to the inauguration of the State government in 1868. It bid sprung into existence since. Gongrjiss adopted this method to secure the ratifi cation of the fifteenth amendment, aul, perhaps, I might Say, to overcome tie contumacy of refractory Republicans.— This amendment was submitted for ratifi cation to Georgia, in common with oth er States. The question as to its ratifi cation, came up during the session of 1869, and, strange to say, Republicans, men who were regarded as the champi ons of universal political equality, voted against it. The measure was defeated in the Senate, if I mistake not, by -he casting vote of the presiding officer, who was a republican. If Democrats sinned in expelling the colored man from office, how rank and unpardonable ought to be that Republican’s sin' which detfed him the right to vote. It is no extenua tion to say that it was done for politje .1 effect. This does not rescue it IrouA’ie charge of inconsistency. The it was intended to dijtU'.rb and the regular “ State nt, crease its odium. Duplicity and Je<Sp tion, while they tnay be favorite ideas with those who resort to them, are al ways reprehensible and in econcilable with the public good. But vve are told that the act of Con gress prescribes anew oath under the test of which, some 15 or 20 members were found to be ineligible. And, pray, what is this worth, as an argument Mo show that the term of this Legislature did not begin in July, 1868? Early in that month the eligibility of members under the provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment was investigated. General Meade pronounced the results of that in vestigation satisfactory. The -act of December last, prescribes anew and supervenient oath, imposing some terms additional to what is con tained in the Fourteenth Amendment, borne small number of the members Vi fused to take that oath, while a few eth ers were excluded by the action of tfiat modern institution, known as a military commission, to determine the Constitu tional eligibility of members of a State Legislature. Truly, when posterity shall read the history of the Government, as made by the revolutionary fathers, and contrast it with the events of this period, they will find much to excite their astonishment, as well as to deplore in the downfall of constitutional Hbatlaf ‘But, notwithstanding the vicissitudes through which tho Legislature has passed, there was always a quorum of its members unaffected by any change that took place in that body. When was it ever before claimed <hat a legls lative body ought to perpetuate itself for an additional term because, forsooth, one or more of its members less than a quorum were disqualified ? Does it not frequently happen in Con gress that members are declared ineligi ble ? Yet, it is not understood that tfi'is leavens the whole body and entitles it to perpetuity for another term, Again it is insisted that even ting that the term of the State turo began July, 1868, still tntion authorizes the Legislature ehange the time of tho election, and pro vides that the present members shall continue in office until their BU*ftss©r3 are elected and qualified. It is urged as a reason for the exercise of this sup posed power in the present case, that the probable excitement growing out of an election next Fall would be so'grsat as to render a postponement of it advis able on the grounds of expediency.— Let us construe this clause of the Con stitution. Now, the preceeding pert of the same section provides that the elec tion for members of the General Assem bly shall begin on Tuesday after the first Monday in November gs every sec ond year. This is an absolute unconditional re quirement, and theere is no escape from it. Unless the election shall take place every second yeur, this clause of the Constitution is violated. It is true<hat the succeeding clause provides that the General Assembly may by law change the time of elections, and that the mem bers shall hold until the successors are elected and qualified. What is the ob vious meaning of this ? Why, that the General Assembly may by law change the time within the purview of the Con stitution ; that is to say from Tuesday after the first Monday in November, to any other day within tho second year. You say this clause confers upon you the power to postpone the election and to perpetuate yourselves for two years or any other length of time. If you may do so-for two years, may you not for ten years ? Does not the right to do one, imply the right to do the other ? And will uDy one insist that this would be in accordance with republican Gov ernment ? But reference is made to the words, ‘the members shall hold until their suc cessors are elected and qualified.”— What do these words mean ? They are simply intended to meet cases of emer gency. If from war, pestilence, er oth er cause, the eleetioD could not be held, the members would continue in office until the election aud qualification of their successors. Again, in some States where calis have been made for extra session between the time of election and the meeting of the Legislature, the ques lion as to whether the old or new Legis. lature should serve has been the source of some dispute. This clause of the Constitution disposes of that question.— But the plea of popular excitement is set up. May cot the same plea.be urged to aDy election that shall take place in the future ? The practical result of the operation of this principle would ba to abolish elections. And with regard to this argument, gentlemen may do well to bear in mind that the excitement in cident to an election, under the law’s of Georgia, may not, after all, be so formi dable as that storm of popular indigna tiou wliieh would likely sweep over this land in the event of a denial of this great right. i ou may adopt these resolutions, but it will be a fraud upon the just rights of the people. It will be a triumph of usurpation over constitutional law.— These resolutions are instinct with fraud. With protestations of loyalty and patri otism, they strike down the Coustiution and crush the dearest l ights of the peo ple beneath the heel of a craven and ig noble selfishness. When you couple the proposition to postpone the election, un til tb® representatives from Georgia are admitted into Congress, with the fact that there are no representatives, and can be none until an election is held, you discover the Moloch purpose of these resolutions. It is nothing more nor less than to continue the present members in office indefinitely—perhaps, for life. A rare exhibition of modesty indeed ! Doubtless an appreciative people will .duly reward the merit of such self-sacri ficing patriots, and erect a suitable moil, ument to their memory I appeal to the conservative men of the Republican par ty to raise their voices in opposition to this great wrong. There arc membeis of this Legislature that are allowing themselves to bo dragooned into the support of this measure, while in the in nermost recesses of their heart they de test it. Those men are under the in fluence of bad leaders. I entreat them to break loose from the shackles of par ty, aud dare to be free, and, what is more, dare to be honest. There may be those who will vote for it from con scientious motives. Ido not assert the contrary, but I will refer to one class, who are expected io vote for it. If there be members here who are not res ponsible to any constituency—men who are misrepresenting instead of represent ing the people—men who find it more sate and convenient to cluster, like vam piles, around the Capitol and live at the dublic expense, than to return homo and give an account of their stewardship— if there be such, they are expected to support this measure. Nor is it, by any means, strange that it is thus. Georgia welcomes within her borders the industrious, enterprising man from the North, or from any other quarter ; but wme to the wretch that \vonld speculate at the expense of her liberties. Tb*> ides of November woivkl bang ffTba: ml, roe'.nning to » |t .. ortho genus homo, known as carpet-bag gers. I verily believe that when the el ection does take place, the voters of Georgia will record their verdict against that class of political adventurers. They have been weighing in tho balance and found wanting. The hand writing is al ready upon the wall. Public opinion is pursuing them like a terrible Nemesis. But the people expect —they have a right to expect —that a majority of this Legislature will be true to the Consti tution and to the interest of Georgia.— That they will rise above merely person al considerations, and with a sublime devotion to Constitutional law, acquit themselves like patriotic meD.

Amendment to tiie Bankrupt Act.— Congress, at Us last session, passed an amendment to the bankrupt act provi ding that what is called the fifty per cent, clause “shall not apply to those debts from which the bankrupt seeks a discharge vyhich were contracted prior to the Ist of January, 1869.” This en ables a petitioner in bankruptcy to get a discharge from all debts contracted prior to January 2, 1890, without pay ing liis creditors fifty cents on the dollar.
