CUTHBERT:
FRIDAY, April 14, 1871.
Cuthbert Safe! —The Brunswick and
Albany Railroad 0. K!
OUT WITH THE BIG GUN !
Messrs. Tumlin and Hood, the in
defatigable champions of our city’s
interests, returned from Atlanta,
this morning, bringing the facts to
remove all doubt as to the passage
of the Brunswick & Albany Rail
road through Cuthbert.
Well done, Hood and Tumlin!
Hurrah for Kimball!
Pout Gaines.—lt will be seen
that Mr. W. C. Gunn, of Fort
Gaines has assumed the manage
ment of our column devoted to the
affairs of that town and country.—
We feel assured that the good peo
ple of that section will appreciate
our efforts to advance their inter
ests and come up nobly 10 the sup
port of the Appeal.
Mr. Gunn is authorized to trans
act any business connected with the
Appeal printing establishment.
Tjerkimle Stobm on the South
western Railroad.— From pas
sengers on the Railroad this morn
ing, we learn that Eufaula and
Americus, were each visited by de
vastating storms during last night.
At Eufaula, Hart’s large ware
house was unroofed, the streets fill
ed with rubbish, and great conster
nation produced among the people.
At Americus, it is reported that
several buildings were completely
demolished, and five persons killed.
The trains were stopped several
times for removing telegraph posts,
etc., from the track.
The telegraph wires are down
for several miles this side of Amer
icus, consequently we have no com
munication.
We can but hope that further in
formation, will prove the exaggera*
tion of these reports.
Amnesty. —The amnesty bill
which passed the House on the
10th by a vote of 134 to 46 excepts
those who were members of Con
gress, officers of the army and na
vy who left to join the rebellion,
and members of tho State conven
tions who voted for the ordinance of
secession. The bill was supported
by all the Democrats and many of
the leading Republicans, among
them Banks, Dawes, Earues, Farns
worth, Garfield, Lynch, Hale, Scho
field, Kelley, Fincklenbui’g and
Sheldon. Among the Southern Re
publicans who voted nay are May
nard, Wallace, Porter and Elliott.
Mercer University.— Rev. H.
C. Horniday has handed us a cata
logue of this institution for 1871,
from which we are glad to learn
that it is in a flourishing condition.
The Joint High Commission. —
There is now a decided prospect
that the Joint High Commission
will conclude its labors about the
Ist of May, though it is established
that neither the fishery nor the Al
abama claims questions have yet
been disposed of.
Resigned. —Judge Gonder, one
of Governor Bullock’s appointees to
the Judgeship of one of the new
senatorial District Courts, has re
signed. He gives as his reasons
for so doing : Ist, Serious doubts
as to the constitutionality of the
District Court, and the legality of
the official acts of its Judges. 2d,
Because the act was passed after
forty days had expired, without a
two~thirds vote for its prolongation,
which is palpably in violation of the
plainly expressed terms of the Con
stitution. 3d, He is neither a de
jure nor ade facto Judge, because
the nomination was not confirmed
by the Senate.
The Way to Farm.
We had a conversation the other
day with Mr. Shadrac Adams, of
Cotton Hill, Clay county, twelve
miles from this city, and were high
ly pleased with a recital of his plan
of conducting a farm.
He informs us that he has only
bought one hundred bushels of corn
in twenty years—the time he has
been engaged in farming in this sec
tion—and that was immediately up
on his return from the war. Since
that he has sold, on an average, one
third of the corn and bacon raised
on his place.
He sleeps comfortably, with no
barrassing dreams of sheriff sales,
crop liens, etc. —has money enough
for incidentals, schooling his chip
dren, etc.
He has this year planted* about
one third more corn than cotton,
and has plenty of corn and bacon
to carry him through till tho pres
ent crop is gathered.
Mr. Adams has been a subscri
ber to the Appeal, from its com
mencement —and always pays in ad
van oe.
Such instances as this speak loud
er than all the logic that can be ad
duced or the subject of raising pro
visions.
Moderation.
We do not think it at all prema
tnre for the Southern press to dis
cuss the plan upon which the cam
paign of 1872, should be conducted
—provided that discussion be con
ducted in such a manner as to pre
vent its becoming food for the
flames of Northern fanaticism.
We are pleased with the sugges
tion of the Southern Recorder, to
the effect that the Southern people
should be slow to take active part
in the general planning of the cam
paign—at least not to attempt any
thing like a controlling participation.
And this for the reason that there is
danger of damaging the Democrat
ic party of the North, by giving
vent to the natural feelings of many
Southern leaders, who act with the
Democratic party in the South.
The whole aim of our press and
people should be to defeat and crush
that wicked party which has pros
tituted the powers of government
to the basest partizan purposes.—
While we do not bilieve in kissing
the rod that smites us, or comprom
ising the honor of our people; yet
wisdom suggests a line of modera
tion, the crossing of which can hut
increase and lengthen the days of
our troubles.
The Republican party of to-day
is but the offspring of fanatieism.
The history of her prowess is written
in letters of blood. If we would
strangle Radicalism, and bury her
voteries in oblivion, let coolness
guide the hand, wisdom mark the
spot, and moderation will furnish
the shroud.
Macon-
We spent last Tuesday in the
thriving city of Macon. Business
being very dull, our friends all had
plenty of time to entertain us—
which they did handsomely. Not
withstanding the dull season, Ma
con seems just entering upon a
new career of general improve
ment. The new Court Hquso, on
the corner of Mulberry and Second
streets, is assuming magnificent
proportions, as it approaches com
pletion, and will be one of the hand
somest court house buildings in the
South. Mammoth business houses,
palatial residences, and cosey, home
like cottages, are being erected in
various parts of the city. New
streets are being opened, and many
other thing’s being done which are
calculated to produce the impres
sion that Macon is determined to he
a huge city.
The visitor to Macon will miss an
item of much interest if he fails to
visit the mammoth establishment
of J. B. Ross & S. T. Coleman, on
Cherry Street. We spent some
time very agreeably, in witnessing
the systematic working of this es
tablishment, in its different depart
ments. The retail department, on
the first floor, with, its tastily ar
ranged counters and shelves, its
score or more of genteel, courteous
salesmen, and its throng of lovely
ladies, in fashionable attire, pur
chasing from a five cent article to
the most costly fabric—presented
a refreshing picture.
We also found their wholesale de
partment complete iu every partic
ular, with goods enough to stock a
large number of country merchants.
This house sold goods to the
amount of $1,000,000, last year,
and their business increases as coun
try merchants test their capacity
to compete with markets further
from home.
This house will have their “ say ”
in our advertising columns shortly,
when our people can see what they
propose to do.
We stopped at the Isaac’s House,
which is located near the centre of
business, and where the traveller
w r ill always be accommodated hand
somely at moderate rates.
—The Lake City Press 6ays: —
“ One of the largest land sinks with
which Florida has been visited oc
curred within a mile of this city
yesterday. It is supposed, by those
who have seen it, to cover at least
two hundred acres of ground.—
About one hundred acres of Mr.
Peter Jernigan’s cleared land is now
inundated. The most remarkable
feature of tins new lake —for a lake
it is—is that it is already inhabited
by vast numbers of alligators and
fish of all kinds, including 1 mutton
heads.’ A visit to the sink will re
pay. curiosity.”
Notes for Slaves.— The Su
preme Court of the United States
has pronounced an opinion that is
of vust importance in every section
of the country. In a case from
Lonisiana, it sustained the validity
of notes given for the purchase of
slaves previous to the war, thus af
firming the decision below. The
decisions of the Supreme Court are
tho supreme law of th« land, and
the State Courts are bound to en
force them. This places the makers
of such notes, who have refused to
compromise with their creditors
heretofore, in rather an unpleasant
position.

Commendable.
Col. W. M. Tumlin, who has just
returned from Atlanta, hands us the
following letter from President
Kimball to contractors, which ex
plains itself, and shows that he
keeps in view every interest of our
people.
This letter must prove a great re
lief to the many planters who have
been particularly anxious on this
very point:
President’s Office, \
B. & A. Railroad Company, v
Atlanta, Ga., Apr. 12, ’7l. )
Geo. Schhub, Esq., Contractor :
Dear Sir: As the line of road
west from Albany passes through
an agricultural district, it is quite
probable that many laborers, who
are now employed by the planters,
may apply to you for situations, and
recognizing that it is as important
both for the interest of the road,
and the community through fthich
the road passes, that the agricultu
ral pursuits of the country "be in no
wise interfered with, I have to re
quest that you shall in no instance,
employ laborers, who have been en
gaged upon farms any where in the
vicinity of the road, unless you
have the written consent from the
Planters that the laborer offering
his service is no longer required
by the planter. Please impress this
matter upon all sub-contractors un
der you, as it must be rigidly ad
hered to.
Yours Respectfully
H. I. Kimball,
President.
Our City.
A correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution, in attendance upon
the Macon Presbytery last week,
has this to say about our city and
other things :
The members of the Presbytery
are bein'* handsomely entertained
by the citizens of Cuthbert. This
town contains a population of about
twenty-five hundred and is the cen
tre of much wealth, intelligence
arid refinement.
This is the seat of the Andrew
Female College—so tamed in honor,
of the late and lamented Bishop of
the Methodist Church. It is under
the control of the Georgia Confer
ence, but in its mode of government,
and its system of instruction, it is ut
terly undenominational. The Rev.
Dr. Hamilton, the energetic and
popular President, is a hightoned
and liberal-minded Christian gentle
man, and has no reference to sec
tarian dogmas’ in administrating
the aflairs of the institution. “No
pent-up Utica contracts his views.”
The Doctor is, by common consent,
one of the very best educators in
the land. Such a Seminary of
learning as he presides over would
be an inestimable blessing to Atlan
ta.
The Baptist Female College is lo
cated three-quarters of a mile from
the Court House. The location is
a beautiful one, near a cold spring
of water. The building has been
renovated, and is one of the most
commanding edifices in the city.—
The school is flourishing under the
Presidency of Prof. W. B. Seales.
The Cuthbert Appeal is an excel
lent weekly, which circulates freely
in four or five coun tbs. More anon.
W.
Revenue Reform. —ln the U.
S. House of Representatives on the
10th, the following passed by 130
to 21:
Resolved, That this House reaf
firms the resolution adopted on the
12th of December, 1870, by the
House of Representatives of the
41st Congress, declaring that the
true principle of revenue reform
points to the abolition of the inter
nal revenue system, which was cre
ated as a war measure to provide
for extraordinary expenses, and the
continuance of which involves the
employment, at the cost of millions
of dollars annually, of an army of
assessors, collectors, supervisors,
detectives and other officers, previ
ously unknown, and requires the
repeal, at the earliest day consist
ent with the faith and credit of the
Government, of all stamp and oth
er internal taxes, and that properly
adjusted rates should be retained
on distilling spirits, tobacco and
malt liquors so long as the legiti
mate expenses of the Government
require the collection of any sum
from, internal taxes.
A Paris dispatch of the 10th
says:
The Archbishop of Paris has
been transferred from the Concierge
to another prison. General Henry
has not escaped. He was sent to
Belle Isle. The commune is con
trolled by a secret committee which
arrests other members. It has no
known chief. Pyat declares Tn to
day’s Vengeur that the suppression
of newspapers is the act of the
Committee of Public Safety, and
not of the Executive Committee.
. The Bainbkidoh Fire. —At this
conflagration seven buildings were
burned, valued as follows : Watt’s
store $750 ; Williams, $750 ; Prof
itt’s Hotel, (owned by Masonic Fra
ternity) $2,000 ; Broom’s store and
goods, §2,000 —ihsured for §1,000;
Mrs. Crostin’s store, $600; Blount’s
store, S6OO ; Mrs. Malone’s store,
SBOO. Profitt lost household goods,
etc., valued at §BOO ; Dr. Babbitt
lost school room furniture valued at
about S3O total loss, $7,830.
Scott’s Winchester Rifles in
tended for Georgia. —lt is said
that Governor Scott, of South Caro
lina, stated to a Laurens county
delegation, who called on him some
days ago, that the Winchester rifles
alluded to in his threatening speech
at Washington, last year, were in
tended “ to meet a question relating
to affairs in Georgia.” The Chron
icle & Sentinel is informed that a
good many of these same Winches
ter rifles have found their way south
of the Savannah.
Tie Contest in Connecticut.
We copy below some remarks of
the Washington Patriot on the re
cent election in Connecticut, which
contain certain interesting facts. It
is not generally known, for instance,
that about eleven hundred negroes
voted at the election for the first
time," which fully explains how the
milk got into the cocoanut,, if it
really be there:
In a period of fourteen years the
Democrats carried this State but
three times—in 1867, 1868 and
1870—and then only by small ma
jorities. In 1869 the Republicans
elected three members of Congress
out of four, with a majority on the
aggregate popular vote of 2,489. —
They have held the Legislature un
interruptedly for many years, and
in that which is about to expire
they control both houses, with six
teen majority on joint ballot. These
facts are necessary to appreciate
properly the recent contest and to
estimate its results. In 1870 Gov
ernor English’s majority was 843.
This year over 1,100 colored voters
appeared for the first time, and, as
is admitted on all sides, cast their
votes nearly solid for the Republi
can ticket. So that, iu point of fact,
Governor English’s majority was
not only overcome by this new ele
ment, but his adversary wa3 placed
ahead of him by several hundred
votes.
No election has taken place sinco
this administration came into pow
er in which so much effort was ex
pended and 6uch unusual means
were employed. The vast Federal
patronage, which necessarily exer
cises large influence iu so closely
balanced a State, was openly and
unscrupulously exerted in behalf of
the Radical ticket, while immense
supplies of the “sinews of war”
were drawn from the custom house
and other rich offices in New York,
ajid used with effect upon the float
ing vote. The Radicals were suf
ficiently adroit to turn the recent
division between the President and
Mr. Sumner tef their account, by
substantially adopting the position
of the latter in the San Domingo
controversy.
In spite of this combination of
fortuitous causes, the Democrats
have held every inch of their ground
tenaciously, and the prospect, as
we write, is that Governor English
is re-elected by a small majority.—
Be that as it may, Connecticut
stands faithful to the constitution
and to the great principles which
she proclaimed so courageously
when other States faltered iu their
devotion and duty. And we regard
her vote for the Democratic and
conservative candidate in 1872 as
certain as anything human can be;
Act to Abolish White Slavery
in the SouTn.—The following is
the full text, of tho bill to abolish
white slavery in the South, introdu
ced in the House last weeek, by
Mr. Van Trump, of Ohio.
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc.,
•That on and after the 4th of July,
1871, there shall be in the States
lately in rebellion, neither slavery
nor involuntary servitude, except
for the punishment of crime, or
among the white denizens of such
States, commonly denominated the
Caucasian race, contradistinguished
from the higher caste of American
citizens of African descent, and
that white persons, as a special act
of grace and favor, shall forever
and hereafter have, hold and pos
sess all rights, privileges, immuni
ties, and franchises as the said dom
inant Ethiopian race now possess in
all the late rebellious States as
aforesaid.
And be it further enacted , etc.,
That the President of the United
States be fully authorized to em
ploy all the military force of the
nation to carry out the provisions
of this act.
More Negro Kd-Ivlux.—We
learn that on Sunday night last,
about 12 o’clock, a band of disguis
ed negroes forcibly entered the cab
in of an old negro named Davy
Belcher, familiarly known as “Old
Hot,” who lives on the premises of
Judge Perry, in this county, and
beat the old man with a stick in a
brutal and shameful manner, and
run his wife off Old Pot is an in
offensive man, 73 years of age, and
the height of his offending is the
fact that he voted the Democratic
ticket at the last election. Suspi*
cion points strongly to a negro by
the name of Bill Harris, who lives
On the premises of Capt McCon
nell, in the same neighborhood, as
one of the five that committed this
outrage, from the fact that he has
been known to make threats very
recently against Old Pot. Such
outlaws should be ferreted out and
brought to j ustice.— Covinyton Ex.
—A Missouri editor has recently
fallen heir to an estate in Ohio, val
ued at SSO. * He intends to aban
don the newspaper business and
devote his time to looking after his
property.
A Mistake.— That the editors
are delighted to get anything to
“ fill up ” the paper.
That they have plenty of time to
correct bad manuscript.
That'they should “puff” every
body for nothing.
That they must have no opinion
of their own.
That they should know every
thing whether informed of it or not.
That they have plenty of money.
That they should “ notice” every
scallawag show that travels.
That they should have news
whether there is any or not.
That they should print every
man’s name who attends a dog fight
or a horse race.
