SATURDAY, September 24, 1870.
FOii CONGRESS :
Hon. TIFT,
OF DOUGHERTY.
A dsepatch from Albany
communicates the pleasing tidings,
that our present vigilant and able
representative, Mr. Tift, has been
unanimously renominated for both
terms of Congress.
W e place his name at our mast
head to day, and will support him
with all the zeal and ability at our
command.
No one man in Georgia or the en
tire South, has labored more as
siduously, or accomplished as much
for the people of his section.
Mr. Tii't will rally every voter of
his party, while at the same time
his conciliatory policy and pleasing
address, will disarm opposition to a
great extent.
We confidently predict his re
election.
The Local of the Macon
Telegraph & Messenger advertised
for the owner of a SSO bill found
on the street, and the next day had
only seventeen applicants. The wag
had forgotten to say it was a Con
federate bill.
MUST 120 deaths occured in 11a
vannah on the 20th inst., fromchol
ora, and on the same day there
wtro eight fatal cases of yellow
fever in New Orleans.
£2r Col. A. It. Lamar has re
tired fronY the control of the Co
lumbus Sun.
He was a bold and graceful wri
ter, and over quick to repel ag
gressions against the rights of the
people, or rebuke crime in high
places.
Our best wishes go with him in
his retirement.
ISP The bill to grant further
aid to the Bainbridge, & Cuthbert
ltailroad was indefinitely postponed
iu the House.
A similar effort in behalf of the
Brunswick & Albany enterprise
shared the same fate, by a vote of
49 to 50, but was afterwards re
.considored and passed.
The villainous election bill also
'passed tho Senate.
.A New Scene in the Radical Drama.
The .proceedings of that rovolu
tionary Jacobin Junta, styled the
Legislature es Georgia, are a fit
commentary upon the working of
universal suffrage.
Such mendacity, chicanery, and
unblushing fraud never before pol
luted tho records of what purports
to be a parliamentary assemblage.
Liko the puppets of Punch and
Judy, the motley Radical majority
keep perfect time to the music of
their carpet bag Governor. The
election villainy which has been
partially accomplished in a violent
and revolutionary manner, should
be met with the direful execrations
of every honest man of whatever
race or colon It must not be al
lowed to become a law, nor should
its diabolical provisions be obeyed
or tolerated. Better far let the
masses rise in their might and de
fctroy the ballot boxes, no longer
the sacred depository of the people’s
will, than submit to tyranny and
usurpation like this. Welcome,
thrice welcome first the despotism
of the bayonet, rather than be sub
jeeted to the rule of such unprinci
pled masters.
But there is honesty enough left
«ev<eHm Republican circles wo trust,
ito detent this iniquitous measure.
Let the Press lift up its voice
trumpet tongued against it, and ev
ery element of manhood and justice
iu tho House combine for its over
ihnotr. Terrible will be the re
sponsibility of those recusant Demo
crats who prove false to their coun
try in this the hour of her peril.

Election Row at Beaufort.—
From a gentlemen just from Beau
fort we learn that an election for
oojjflty officers was held in Beaufort
iCfl 19th. After much voting,
drinking and a war of words, some
of the f'dije voters engaged in a
general fightj resulting in many of
the ff.tjhiluts losing much blood,
wool and an occasional slice of flesh.
From the same kind informant we
learn that one of Beaufort’s ebon
sons, in a fit of jealousy, shot his
wife, firing two shots from a double
Larrelcd shot gun, inflicting numer
ous wounds in the body of his “bet
fer boll,” She was not dead when
( o,>,ij r informant left. The would-be
yijfo .murderer gave himself up to
ijf.e authorities immediately after
jfu> *hqoßng and was placed in jail.
Hue, Hep.
Nominate the Best Men.
At no former period in the histo
ry of our State has the necessity
been so urgent for the selection of
capable and upright individuals to
act as law givers and rulers in the
land. Years of corrupt and igno
rant legislation will need to be
revised, reforms deep and thor
ough inaugurated, nepotism re
buked, thieving officials extirpated,
our State Road again made a pay
ing institution, a proper system of
common schools put in operation,
and all the machinery of govern
ment, now so much out of- joint,
placed once more in working condi
tion.
As soon attempt to level the pyr
amid of Cheops as to effect these
herculean labors through the agen
cy of party hacks, pot house politi
cians,'wire pullers, and the host of
small men who are ever so clamor
ous for office.
At this juncture, the country
should summon from their retire
ment her representative men; those
who are not mere politicians and in
triguants, but high-minded, incor
ruptible citizens. Men of nerve
and purity of morals, at whose
presence crime and peculation will
shrink back abashed. These are
the individuals who will carry ter
ror into the Radical camp, and puri
fy the political atmosphere of our
Capital.
We do earnestly trust then that
individual preferences and partisan
ship will be lost to view, and our
people once more be heard as in the
halcyon days of the Republic pro
pounding tho interrogatories, is he
capable ? Is he honest ? These
should bo the grand criterions in
their selcctian of standard bearers.
And once fairly nomiaated, let
there he no heartburnings, no despi
cable bolting , no subidence of in
terest in the forthcoming election.
Greater and dearer issues are at
stake than the mere behests of pri
vate ambition. Even the weal or
woo of wives and daughters, and
generations yet unborn.
To th rescue then dear friends
for the relief and disnthrallment of
our own native Georgia.
Akerman’s Odious Election Bill.
The Attorney General of the
United States does not seem to
have had bis views enlarged since
entering upon his new field of duty.
The proverb hath it that a “ Silk
purse cannot be made out of a sow’s
ear.” So in this instance, the jiar
lisan training, dirty intrigues, and
petty ways of the radical turncoat,
cleave to him like the shirt of Nes
sus. We find Mr. Akcrman there
forey descitiiig the grave and re
sponsible position he has boon call
ed upon to occupy in the govern
ment of the nation, Olid condescend
ing to mingle with the carpet bag
rabble at Atlanta, am? aid them in
their low and nefarious Jesigns.
Having tested how easy it. is to du
plicate votes, suborn managers, and
manipulate the ballot box during
an election protracted through sev
eral days, be now urges the repeti
tion of this programme, and a bill
has actually been introduced into
the Legislature for that purposo.
The delay until Christmas of any
election at all, is another sinister
dodge which tho Bullock radicals
would fain resort to, in border to
compass their euds.
It is believed that the tabor
question can the be made to operate
to the advantage of the Radicals,
Planters they think will bo afraid
at the contracting season to use any
special influence or control over the
actions of the freedtnen.
All these contemptible devices
however are too transparent to de
ceive, and it is to be hoped that
Democrats and moderate Conserva
tives will remain in their seats, and
stand shoulder to shoulder in their
efforts to defeat these unjust and
partisan measures.
The Constitution of the State
plainly indicates when the election
shall be held, while New York with
her million of voters finds ample
time in one day for the exercise
of the elective franchise.
Let the voting take place as hith
erto at the several precincts of each
county, located to. suit the conven
ience of neighborhoods, and ail dis
turbances, double voting, etc., will
to a great extent be obviated.
Rad. Meeting. —The colored
brass band blew together in front of
the City llall last night, HON.
JEEFF LONG, mulatto, about 200
negroes and gen. krisknowski, a
foreigner. The mighty Jeff called
the crowd to order, and stated that
the object of the meeting was to
open the campaign for the coming
election, in a speech from a man
who had fought, bled and died for
four years, to free the negroes. He
then introduced the warrior to the
crowd, and We wiH do him the jus
tice to say that his pronunciation of
the English language was so bad,
and his ideas of American institu
tions and laws so obscure and con
fused, that w T e are sure there were
not a dozen negroes in the crowd
who understood a fourth of what
he tried to state. We listened to
him a half hour with like result and

groes to send him to Congress, but
they wont do it, Kris, — Telegraph

Continuing to occupy their seats
in defiance of the limitations of the
Constitution, we regard all the pres
ent action of the General Assembly
as illegal and worthless, but contin

tant legislation.
The attempt to reconsider the
Akerman election scheme failed in
the Senate by a vote of 13 to 18,
many democrats being absent, and
three not voting- It is claimed that
Bullock has bought members of the
House iu numbers sufficient to ef
fect the passage of this bill through
that body also, The sequel will
provo whether this be true or not.
The bill authorizing the people
of Stewart county to subscribe for

The attempt to reconsider the ac
tion of the House laying off new
wards in the city of Macon, or in
other words Africanizing our sis
ter city, failed.
Mr. Harrison, the gentlemanly
publisher of the Acts of the Legis
lature, has been denied that privi
lege, though offering to do so at 25
cents per copy, and Flesh, Bullock’s
Secretary, gets the job at 50 cents.
This is Radical economy, but we
suppose Flesh needs more flesh, and
Shylock-like must have it, even if
wrung from the coffers of a bank

Marshall Bazaine is reported to be
hostile to the new government, and
still the staunch supporter of his
imperial master. All the French
fortresses still hold out, and a vote
being taken in Strasburg on the
question of surrendering, it was
almost unanimously resolved to re
sist to the last. Already the ultra
red republicans are caballing seri
ously in Paris against the new gov
ernment, and anarchy and confusion
seem inevitable. All communica
tion with the capital is cut off, and
fighting is becoming general outside
of the fortifications. The French
seem resolute, and make frequent
sorties.
Peace negotiations are still pro
grossing, though the reported ar
mistice IS incorrect. Jules Favre
under a safe conduct from the
Germans, has gone to communicate
in person with King William. The

For the Cuthbert Appeal.
To the Voters of the Htb Senatorial
District
It is seldom that we interfere in
political matters, but the near ap
proach of the time appointed to se>*
lect a oandidate to represent our
District in the Senate, makes it in
cumbent on all to reflect, and de
termine without prejudice what is
best to be done in the premises.
This we have done, and without
intending the slightest disparage
ment to the claims of the other gen
tlemen whose names are mentioned
in this connection, have after inves
tigation and dispassionate consider
ation of the matter, come to the
conclusion that it is the best inter
est, not only of our own District,
but that of the whole State, that
we should elect to that highly re
sponsible office the Hon. William
M. Tnmlin, and with your permis
sion without further remarks will
proceed to give some of the many
reasons that have induced this opin
ion :
In tho firs£ place, Mr. Editor, we
take it for granted that there is
such a thing as common gratitude
among our people; if so, we would
ask if Col. T. is not entitled to some
consideration for the bold and man
ly course he pursued in the last
election ?
It is within the recollection of all,
when the dark and gloomy clouds
of military oppression lowered over
us f when Federal soldiers and Fed
eral bayonets encompassed the most
of our country, and no one could
be found to willingly meet this ter
rible tide of tyranny, Turulin upon
the request of his friends, and tho
friends of harmony and good gov
ernment, like a man - and soldier as
he is, came forward, met the enemy
at the ballot box and after a terrible
struggle defeated him. Is he enti
tled to nothing for that ?
Again who has stood forth iu the
Legislative halls of our State,
amidst the horde of opponents of
virtue, honesty and truth, and as
serted tho rights and interest of his
constituents with more zeal, ability
and success than Col. Tumlin ? We
assert, no one. Then is he entitled
to nothing for this ?
By reference to the legislative
records it will be found tlftt in no
instance has he failed to successful
ly carry through the House any
proposition (and there were many)
made by him to that body. Does
this not show ability ?
Has be not done more, though a
new member, to develope the re
sources of Southwestern Georgia,
and especially of our immediate
portion than all the legislation be
sides ; and is this to be counted as
nothing ?
But for his exertions, and the
ability with which he sustained his
measures, where would be the nu
merous Railroads that are now being
constructed or projected through
our section of tho State 1 Echo an
swers, where !
For all this he is to receive no
credit. Is this j ust ? Is it liberal ?
But says some, be voted for the
Opera House Bill, and must there
fore be anathematized. This we
have also investigated, and find it
to be a matter about which there
may be an honest difference of
opinion, and yet no one to blame.
Asa financial question, (which it
purely was,) it may or may not
have been the interest of tbe State
to make the purchase; but front all
tlie circumstances surrounding tbe
case, we are fully convinced that CM.
Tumlin honestly believed it was tbe
best interst of the State to make the
purchase, and so believing, as an
honest and thoughtful representa
tive, it was his duty to vote for it.
This is the extent of his offending,
nothing more. But after all, is
this cause sufficient to condemn a
well tried and faithful public ser
vant? We think not—and particu
larly so when it is considered, (as
w t c are informed is the case,) the
State can even now realize a hand
some profit on the investment.
This then being the only objec
tion we have heard raised against
him, the question presented is, shall
the people of our District, for this
(to say the most of it) questionable
financial vote, discard an able and
indefatigable public servant, to
gratify a few, that may not if tried
do as well ? We hope not.
Upon the whole, Mr. Editor, it is
clear that now is the time for us to
secure the services of one of the
ablest and most successful legisla
tors within the limits of our (State,
by the election of W. M. Tuinlin
to the Senate.

Political Disabilities—the Four
teenth Amendment—the Iron Glad.
There still seems to be some dis
cussion about political disabilities
under the Fourteenth Amendment,
and the acts passed relative to the
oath required to be taken of mem
bers of Congress. We therefore
firopose to set out these matters in
ull,so all may judge for themselves.
The third section of the Four
teenth Amendment reads as follows :
“No person shall be a Senator or
Representative in Congress, or El
ector of President or Vice-presi
dent, or hold any office, civil or
military, under the United States,
or under any State, who, having
previously taken an oath, as a mem
ber of Congress, or as executive or
judicial officer of any State, to sup
port the Constitution of the United
States, shall have engaged in insur
rection or rebellion against the
same, or given aid or comfort to
the enemies thereof. But Congress
may, by a vote of two-thirds of
each House, remove such disabili
ty.”
By the act of Congress, passed
July 2, 1862
Every person elected or appoin
ted to any office of honor or profit
under the government of the Uni
ted States shall take and subscribe
the following oath or affirmation :
“I, A. 8., do solemnly swear (or
affirm) that I have never voluntari
ly borne arms against the United
States since I have been a citizen
thereof; that I have voluntarily
given no countenance, counsel
or encouragement to persons en
gaged in armed hostility thereto;
that I have neither sought, nor ac-
cepted, nor attempted to exercise
the functions of any office whatever
under any authority, or pretended
authority, in hostility to the United
States; that I have not yielded a
voluntary support to any pretended
government, authority, power or
constitution within * the United
States, hostile or inimical thereto.—
And I do further swear (or affirm)
that, to the best of my knowledge
and ability, I will support and de
fend the constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign
and domestic; that I bear true faith
and allegiance to the same ; that I
take this obligation freely, without
any mental reservation or purpose
of evasion, and that I will well and
faithfully discharge the duties of the
office on which 1 am about to enter,
so help me God.”
As the law requiring this oath of
all persons who take office under
the general government was in full
force at the time the Fourteenth
Amendment was adopted, the re
moving of a person’s disabilities did
not relieve him from taking the
above oath, and to obviate this dif
ficulty for awhile as to certain par
ties, Congress relieved them from
taking the test oath Avhen their dis
abilities had been removed by reso
lution, and at last, to fully settle the
question, Congress, on the llth of
July, 1868, passed the following
law, which is yet in full force, viz :
“Whenever any person who partici
pated in the late rebellion, andjfrom
whom all legal disabilities arising
therefrom have been removed by
act of Congress, by a vote of two
thirds of each House, has been or
shall be elected or appointed to any
office or place of trust in or under
the government of the United
States, he shall before entering up
on tbe duties thereof , instead of the
oath prescribed by the act of \July
2. 1862, take and subscribe the fol
lowing oath or affirmation:
“I, A. 8., do solemnly swear (or
affirm) that I will support and de
fend the Constitution of the United
States againts all enemies, foreign
and domestic; that I will bear true
faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take .this obligation freely,
without any mental reservation or
purpose of evasion, and that I will
well and faithfully discharge the
duties of the office on which I am
about to enter, so help me God.”
To place the matter beyond all
cavil or doubt, Congress, on Decem
ber 14tli, 1569, passed tbe following
law, viz:
“Sec. 2. And be it further enact
ed. That all persons from whom
the disabilities imposed by the
Fourteenth Amendment of the Con
stitution of the United States have
been or shall be removed, and who
have been or shall be elected or ap
pointed to any office or place of
trust in or under the government of
the United States, or of either of
the States, or territories, shall, be
fore entering on the duties thereof,
take and subscribe the oath pre
scribed in tbe act approved july 11,
1868, entitled an act prescribed an
oath of office to be taken by per
sons from whom legal disabilities
shall have been removed, instead
of the oath prescribed in the act ap
proved July 2, 1862, entitled an act
to prescribe an oath of office and
other purposes—anything in any
other act to the contrary notwith
standing.”*
From the above it will be seen
that all who take office under the
United States government are re
quired to take the iron-clad oath
of July 2, 1862, unless they have
had legal disabilities under the third
section of the Fourteenth Amend
ment, and have had them removed
by a two-thirds vote of Congress,
and then they are only required to
take the oath prescribed by the act
of July li, 1868. Many are insist
ing that Congress can or may re
quire persons whose disabilities
have been relieved to still take the
iron-clad oath. This is in the face
of different laws of Congress.
From reading the Fourteenth
Amendment and the acts here re
ferred to we think it clear that
where a person had no legal disa
bilities, or was not obnoxious to the
third section of the Fourteenth
Amendment, he will not be relieved
from taking the iron clad oath of
July 2, 1862, by a Congressional
pardon or vote of two thirds of
Congress.
The act of Congress of July 11,
1868, prescribing the modified oath
refers alone by its very terms to
those “from when all legal disabili
ties arising therefrom have been re
moved by act of Congress,” and
does not at all apply to those who
had no disabilities, but who attempt
by a Congressional pardon to get
the benefit of this modified oath.
The aot of Congress passed
March 7, 1870, relieving the disabil
ities of several thousand persons,
and which is similar to all others on
the same subject, reads as follows:
“That all legal and political dis
abilities imposed by the Fourteenth
Amendment of the Constitution of
the United States, by reason of par
ticipation in the late rebellion, be
and they hereby are removed from
the following persons, viz;” ,
and it fully accords with the view
above set out.
In view of the coming election
these are important questions, and
all we desire is to simply present all
the facts to the public.— Nashville
