CUTHBERT:
FRIDAY, February 24,1870.
Peace Prospects. —A dispatch
from Versailles says if peace is irot
assured by noon to day, (Friday),
the second, third and fifth army
corps will be thrown Upon the
South. Fredrick Charles is looked
to for the execution of this enter
prise. Troops around Paris are be
ing drilled, and military bands are
practicing for the entry into Paris.
A subsequent dispatch, states
that in consequence of negotiations
between M. Favre and Count Bis
marck, during which the latter con
sulted the Emperor several times,
the armistice is extended till Sunday
evening.
IJjbw Paper. —We enjoyed the
pleasure of a brief visit yesterday,
from Mr. T. J. Perry, lately con
nected with the Cuthbert Appeal.
It is Mr. Perry’s intention to Btart
a paper iu the thriving town of
Montezuma. He is a good newspa
per man, and we bespeak for him
the patronage his merits deserve.—
Macon Journal.
We heartily echo the good wish
es of our Macon cotemporary, and
hope our Montezuma friends will
improve this opportunity of secur
ing a high-toned, live paper in their
midst. Mr. Perry possesses great
tact and indomitable energy, and we
feel warranted in the belief that a
brilliant success will crown his ef_
forts.
Peace —A recent 'dispatch from
Paris states that everything has
been arranged for a final conclusion
of peace. At Boadeaui a commit
tee has been selected to negotiate
the treaty. The draft has already
been approved by Count von Bis
mark and General Moltke. The
peace treaty will be signed immedi
ately' after the names of the above
committee have been announced in
tbe National Assembly.
Mutilated Current
We stated a few weeks since that
Postmasters were required, by law,
to receive mutilated currency in
payment of stamps or stamped en
velopes. Wc see the Postmaster
at Kingston, Ga., has written to the
Post Office Department for instruc
tions upon t-Ms subject, and re
ceived the following reply :
Post Office Department, Feb.
8, 1871—Sir: Your letter of 2d in
stant is to hand. In accordance
with the rules of the Treasury De
partment, the Postmaster General
directs you to receive in payment
for postage stamps and stamped
envelopes, United States notes of
which not more than one-twentieth
is missing, and fractional notes of
which not more than one-tenth is
missing, if clearly genuine.
Yon are not required to receive
mutilated notes, (by the term muti
lated is meant rotes not worth their
full face value under the subjoined
rules) which notes are redeemable
by the Treasurer of the United
States, and by no other officer.—
Nor will you receive notes so much
soiled or defaced that their'genuine
ness caunot be clearly and satisfac
torily ascertained. * * * * *
Ysry respectfully,
W. 11. 11. Terrel.
Desiring to clearly and correctly
inform our readers upon this mat
ter, wo called on our postmaster,
and tendered a fractional bill which
had not a hundredth part missing,
which was rejected. We called his
attention to the foregoing letter,
When he replied, emphatically, that
ho would receive no money unless
currently taken by our merchants.
Os course this sets aside the de
cision of the Post Office Depart
ment, and serves to show what fools
they are in Washington.
—lt is generally conceded that
ther efforts to get the present Con
gress to do anything favorable to
the great Southern Pacific railroad
will fail, still the friends of the en
terprise dire confident that it will be
built and that the 43 Congress will
aid in the work.
Since the above was put iu type
we see the following action was ta
ken in the House, which presents a
more favorable aspect:
The Committee on the Pacific
Railroad reported the Southern bill
with certain amendments, hut only
two were adopted namelyy for
changing the name of the road to
the Southern Pacific. Another
making the capital $50,000,000 in
stead $100,000,000.
A motion to postpone was de
feated—l43 to 50. Another amend
mend provides for a single trunk
from Marshal to San Diego—Adop
ted. Another excluding from con
solidatlofi other roads which hereaf
ter may be chartered, passed—-74
to 51. The bill finally passed—l 34
to 70. Adjourned.
The Seaport Appeal, in speak
ing of the Brunswick and Albany
railroad says the recent rapid and
highly encouraging progress made
in the construction ot the Bruns-
Albany railway, gives prom
ise <?£ completion to Albany ear
ly in the summer ; and, if the same
rate of progress is maintained West
of the eity, of its completion in Eu
fau la by Octdhcr.
White vs. Negro Labor.
We see a writer in the Macon
Telegraph makes some timely and
important suggestions to the mem
bers of our State Agricultural Con
vention how in session in that city.
The subject of foreign Immigra
tion is gradually growing in favor
with many of our agricultural
friends, and will continue to do so,
until a change is wrought in our
present systerh of labor. All must
admit that negro labor is becoming
more and more unreliable each suc
ceeding year—that two hands are
now required to do the same labor
qnc performed three years since.—
Continue this ratio for three years
hence, and where is the landlord
that would not be forced to suc
cumb and abandon his lands ?
The question naturally arises*
how is this evil to be averted, and
what policy is best adapted to the
wants of the ease? We unhesita
tingly answer, by encouraging for
eign immigration. Organize coun
ty or district associations, (or State
if you please,) for the purpose of
encouraging the immigration of
such persons as have a pride of
character, habits of industry, and
know how to and are i billing to
labor for an honest support for
themselves and their families.
We know the objection to the
policy is urged that “ we have the
negro among us, aud whether em
ployed or idle, must be fed and
clothed by the land owners, and it
behooves us to make tbe best we
can of a bad bargain.” Now as to
the fallacy of this argument. All
will admit the demand for labor is
greatly in excess of the supply, and
our servants know if they are dis
charged from their situations or
voluntarily abandon their contracts,
they can go to the nearest neighbor
and procure employment, without
any inquiries as to the cause of
their leaving their former employer.
And so long as the supply is so far
below the demand it will be impos
sible to remedy this great evil, and
it will continue to increase until it
will bankrupt the agricultural in
terests of the State. The labor
force of the country should bo in
creased until the laborer seeks the
labor, and when obtained will be
appreciated and a sufficient gUaran
tee be given that it will be faithful
ly and properly performed. Then,
and not until then, will our agricul
tural interests prosper, and yield
commensurate with the wishes of
the producer’.
We have lands in abundance—a
climate unsurpassed—adapted to
the growing of cotton, corn, rice,
sugar, tobacco, in fact, everything
wanted, and under a proper system
of white labor, our glorious old
State, notwithstanding the corrup
tion of her officials, would blossom
like the rose, and we would all be
bappy and prosperous.
We will anxiously look for tbe
action of ouv agricultural friends,
now in session, upon this subject.
Disastrous Fire in Dawson.
The long anticipated fears of our
citizens were realized on last night
by the burning of the entire west
side of the public square. About
fifteen minutes to twelve o’clock
the fiaines were seen to issue from
the rear of the hotel, and immedi
ately the alarm was given. The
building being a wooden structure,
the flames spread very rapidly, and
many of the inmates narrowly es
caped with theft lives— stfme having
to leap from the second story win
dows. All the furniture belonging
to the hotel was destroyed, as Mr.
Collins, the gentlemanly proprietor,
made the safety of'the lives of his
boarders his first care. There is
too much confusion at this writing
to give an estimate of the
and we will merely mention the
principal sufferers,reserving the par
tieplars for our next. After sweep
ing through the hotel, the flames
spread to the tin shop of Mr. ,
then Mr. A. J. Baldwin, Jr., Far
num, Sharpe & Cos., G. B. Thomp
son, Patrick Ward, 11. E. Thomas,
James & Bro., Jacob Kuttner, N.
11. Lee, when they were a nested
by tearing down the corner store
occupied by Mr. Edward Kuttner,
the post-office, barber-shop and
black-smith shop. We do not-know
the amount of insurance on either
buildings or stocks of goods, and
from what we have been able to as
certain up to the present, the prin
cipal sufferers were Mr. Collins,
proprietor of the hotel,. A. J. Bald
win, Jr., FaTnum, Sharpe & Cos., G.
B. Thompson, and E. Kuttner, and
the owners of the buildings, Messrs.
Sharp & Brown, Robert Hodges
and Washington Woolbright. We
have not time to personate all those
who strove so manfully to prevent
a spread of the flames, but by re
quest ot many citizens will allude
to Mr. McCliutock, a noble Ken
tuckian, who though he had not a
dollar at stake, worked like a Tro
jan, and was instrumental in saving
many hundred dollars worth of
goods. Many thanks are also due.

Costly Warfare, — General Sher

which the Prussian artillerists did
so much damage to the eity of Paris
are Krupp’s steel eleven inch breach

gold, and the projectile and pow
der for each discharge costs anoth
er thousand dollars. No guns made
elsewhere equal them.

Toe Partridge Eater.—Mr.
Henderson who, it will be remem
bered, is eating one partridge each
morning between 9 and 10 o'clock
for thirty successive mornings, on
a wager of SSOO a side, is still en
gaged in that agreeable business at
Miller’s Kloman House, and this
morning put himself outside of Ills
twentieth bird. He commenced by
taking the birds broiled, but at No.
12 got tired of that style of cook
ing, and has since taken them stew
ed. It would appear that he is be
ginning to get surfeited with the
stewed also, as this morning when
the bird was set before him he cut
it in halves, eating one moiety, and
then taking a rest until his hour was
nearly out before he ate the remain
der. Thus far he has fallen off 2l J
pounds in weight, and his complex
ion is like that of “a clean shirt.”
If he is troubled with nausea he
keeps the fact to himself, and is
confident of accomplishing the feat.
Some who saw him devour 13 dozen
raw oysters and three dozen fried
do. at one meal on a wager a few
months since, are putting up their
money on him; and others who put
up money that be would not ac
complish the present feat, having
watched lnm closely every morning
are now becoming shaky about their
stakes. It is said that a man who
could eat half a bushel of cut straw
iu which three dozen raw eggs were
mixed, failed in a similar feat to
this. The time will be up on the
25th inst., and as it approaches the
interest increases.— Washington

■
Akerman to be Kicked Out of the
Cabinet for Incompetency,
A special dispatch to the New
York Evening Post (Radical), da
ted February 13th, says :
Your correspondent is in posses
sion of information which leaves no
doubt as to the early-resignation of
Mr. Akerman as Attorney General.
The President has frequently of
late been urged to make a change
in this office, not merely for politi
cal reasons, but for other and high
er consideration. Within a few
days past the affair has assumed
such a shape- as to require the
change to be made; and although
the President’s mind is said to be
fully made up to it, he hesitates as
to the policy of making a break in
the Cabinet until after the 3d of
March.
The necessity of Mr. Aker
man’s resignation is understood to
be entirely professional, and to be
attributed to a want of familiarity
with the law governing important
cases in which the Government is
interested, now pending in the Su
preme Court.
Your correspondent violates no
confidence in saying that several of
the justices of the Supreme Court
have advised the President to make
this change, asserting that Mr.
Akerman had not thus far display
ed even ordinary legal attainmen ts
in conducting cases for the United
States before the Supreme Court.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 17 ,’7l.
Editor Appeal:
The Radicals arc making haste in
carrying out their designs with re
gard to placing the South entirely
under the control of Radical pol
iticians, that is so far as the elec
tions are concerned. On Wednes
day in the House they passed the
enforcement bill, w hich is a plain
violation of the Constitution, and
places the elections completely in
the hands of the Radicals; arrests
to be made without warrants and
redress to be found only in the U.
S. Courts, which in the South are
in the hands Y>f the Radical politi
cians. Yesterday the reconstruc
tion Committee agreed to report a
bill, to be acted ou at once, to ar
rest and punish the so-called Ku-
Elux by the appointment of fed'
eral commissioners in every county
in the South, with the power to is
sue warrants, hold to bail and commit
for trial. This bill makes masking
or disguiseing oneself a crime, and
as with the bill above mentioned,
supercedes the State authorities.
These two measures are intended to
work together at election times by
giving the horde of office holders,
such as Commissioners, and their
assistants, marshals and assistant
marshals, the power to carry the
elections in the South especially, by
fraud and intimidation. By this
bill secret political societies are vir
tually prohibited. Would it not
be well for these pretended conserv
ators of tbe public peace to cast
their eyes to this city where the
head quarters of the Grand Army
of the Republics, a secret political
and military organization, exists,
and one which even Horace Gree
ley denounced as being inimical to
the permaneneo of our institutions.
And also to take note that a part
of the proceedings of the National
Union League meeting held at Phil
adelphia, yesterday, were held in se
cret session. This association is
composed of the most prominent
leading Radical politicians in the
country, and no doubt their plans
and conspirings, in the offshot, will
not bear the light of day. If laws
are to be passed against secret po
litical societies let them be general,
applying as well to one party as an
other. The Democracy are opposed
to them on the principle that which
should be advocated by any* politi
cal party need not fear the criticism
of the world.
A petition was presented in the
Senate yesterday by the Apostle of
the negroes—Mr. Sumner—from
the negroes of the District of Co
lumbia, protesting against the ap
propriation of SIO,OOO each to the
Home Industrial Scho,ol and the
Woman’s Christian Association, un
less negro women and children are
also admitted. Comment is unnec
essary, except to note the fact that
this mingling of the races is forced
upon the needy, helpless and the
poor.
Now that the bill partly abolish
ing the iron clad oath has become a
law, the Committee on Reconstruc
tion have agreed to report a bill
providing for its absolute repeal.—
The Radicals- are playing liberal by
removing one disability and piling
on two worse ones. Radical liber
ality is very costly. The galleries
of the House were crowded yester
day with spectators in anticipation
of a spirited debate on the West
Point outrages, but the thing came
tamely off. Mr. Stoughton made a
milk and water excuse for cadet
Grant w r hich in the teeth of the ev
idence did not at all keep the case
of Grants, pere et file. The reso
lutions which were adopted, will
result in the appointment of a
court of inquiry to investigate the
conduct of the Professors at the
Academy, and ascertain the ring
leaders in the first class, and rein
state the boys who were driven off.
When I look around me and find
Butler, of Tennessee, cleaved by a
jury of this sweet city on charges
of forgery, and Bowen, of South
Carolina, charged with bigamy get
ting anew trial through the obsti
nacy of a negro juror, andno'sooner
was the jury dismissed than anoth
er woman turns up and claims him
as her husband, and he is re-arr ested
while on his way to the .House to
legislate for the good of the coun
try. Gne thing in favor of this
Yankee carpet-bagger, is that of all
the wives which he is charged with
marrying there are none of thorn
negroes, which is rather in his fa
vor, considering that he is one of the
most intense “ loil members,” and
when committee after committee
are whitewashing Radical officials
and the result of the court martial
of the negro South is never heard
of. Ido not anticipate any differ
ent result in the case of the first
class and cadet Grant.
Secretary Boutwell and Judge
who is a Yankee Judge
and assistant Secretary of the
Treasury at the same time, called
to see the President concerning the
negotiations for the new loan. It
is thought that cx-Secretary McCul-l
loch, who is now in London, and ‘
head of the branch-house of Jay
Cook & Cos., will be the agent
abroad-. As Jay Cooke is one of
the pious, shining lights of Radical
ism there is little doubt of his get
ting the job. Judge Richardson is
also to visit Europe in this connec
tion. lam anxious to know wheth
er Richardson w r ho draws salary as
Judge in Massachusetts and also as
assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
for a few months services here each
year, is going abroad as a Treasury
agent with a third salary. Will
the economic Boutwell please en
lighten an inquiring public ?
Truthful Uhysses seems to be go
ing steadily back on his Massachu
setts friends. He promised Dawes,
chairman of the appropriation Com
ini tte, that Mr. Russell, collector of
the Port of Boston, should not be
re-appointed, but that a friend of
his should. Tbe word of Grant
was sufficient, the thing was as good
as done. Dowes was grateful and
the heart of the to-be-collector was
made gladj but alas for the stabil
ity of President’s and their prone
ness not to “ stick ” to promises;
the President did exactly the re
verse of what he promised and reN
appointed Mr. Russell. Mr. Daw
es can, for consolation, remember
that Grant has a very bad memory,
bide, his forgetfulness in the Stan
ton Johnson question of voracity,
when Andrew proved by his cabi
net that Grant had a bad memory.
I think with the first class at West
Point, that lying is a terrible mean
vice, and it is a good thing for Ulys
ses that he is not there now, for the
first class, forgetting that they too
lied, would at once expell him.
The Herald thinks Mr. Hill’s
chances of being seated are not be
yond the range of a reasonable prob
ability. It says Gov. Bullock lias
persisted in refusing a certificate of
election to Mr. Nelson Tift, Demo
cratic member of Congress elect from
the Ga. district, until, it is report
ed, the time when such certificates
can be of legal avail—thirty days
after the election —has expired. In
the meantime Mr. Tift receives a
certificate of election from compe
tent authority, and it is referred to
the Committee on Elections in the
House. It is said that the point
has been decided by the committee
to be well taken, and that this fact
makes the chances for Mr. Tift to
finally represented the district to be
much enhanced.
