THE APPEAL. J. P. SAWTELL, ELAM CHRISTIAN, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. ' r-- - ■■ ■■ ■ ■■■ , » • -r - CUTHBERTr FRIDAY, November 10,1871. FOR GOVERNOR: Col. HERBERT FIELDER, OF RANDOLPH. The Sheriff is now running the Atlanta True Georgian. Macon. — ln Macon Wednesday evening the market closed at 16 2 for middlings. New York, 18£. Changes.— Dr. O. L. Smith, has been elected President of Emory College, and Dr. E. H. Myers, for seventeen years past editor of the Southern Christian Advocate, takes • his place as President of Wesleyan Female College, at Macon. The State Democratic Executive Committee met in Atlanta Tuesday and directed the Chairman to call a Convention of the party to nomi nate a candidate for Governor, so soon as the bill providing for an election passes the Legislature. Declines. —lion. Clifford A nder son very wisely declines the nomi nation for Governor,’ mainly be cause of his inelligibility under the late constitutional amendment. It seems to us that no true Georgian who is a well wisher of his State, can consistently act otherwise. Tiie details of the Brazilian eman cipation law are as follows : Chil dren born after the proclamation are free. Various provisions are made for the benefit of those still held in slavery. Religious corporations were emancipating their slaves, and many private slave-owners were moving in the same direction and converting them into free tenants, or freeing them upon condition of lour years’ service. Col. Herbert Fielder. We notice that Col. Fielder is favorably spoken of in various portions of the State, in connection with the Dem ocratic nomination for Governor.— The time has come when people are beginning to look outside ot po litical cliques and rings tor men to fill places of public trust. The in terests at stake are of too grave a nature to be entrusted to the hands of professional ring-politicians. Col. Fielder is not a man to intrigue and wire pull for any position. He is, verily, one of the people —the people’s man—and no more faithful guardian of the people’s interests could be placed by them in this re sponsible position. The Dawson Fair. Last Wednesday morning found us a “ part and parcel ” of a large crowd of good-looking Cutlibcrt people aboard the train, on our way to the first annual Fair of the Ter rell County Agricultural and In dustrial Association. Accompany ing our party was a battalion of yonth and beauty from Andrew Fe male College, under the care of sev eral of the teachers. Under the careful management of everybody’s friend, conductor Dasher, we wero safely landed at our destination within an hour, and soon everybody felt at homo among tho clever, neighborly people of Dawson. A walk of fifteen minutes brought us to the gates of the fair grounds,which were already throng ed with interested spectators. Tim Cuthbert delegation were met at the entranco by that splendid brass band, of which Dawson is so justly proud, and marched to Floral Hall in princely stylo. Then came a gen eral breaking of rauks, a mix, a scatteration and a hand shaking all round. Notwithstanding the short time for preparation, and the many dis advantages under which the society has labored, in getting ready for the occasion, the grounds and race track •were in fine order, and the ;t weU done, people of Terrell,” was heard on every hand. Going into the tem porary exhibition rooms we found them tastily arranged, with many things of worth and utility in the various departments. Conspicuous in the department of fine arts, were several master pieces of painting, by Miss Lester, of this city ; and in other departments, the fair ladies of Cuthbert were very creditably rep resented. The display of stock, though not exceedingly large, was very interest ing. There were some fine horses, a variety of hogs, a respectable show in the chicken line, etc. Considering the slmrt time in which the arrangements were made, and all the disadvantages, wc think their first fair may be put down as a success. It shows what the good people of Terrell could do, under more favorable circumstance, and what they will do next year. The address of lion. Thos. Harde man was a perfect gem, and could not have been more appropriate in any respect. Our limited space forbids a de tailed account. legislative Synopsis). SENATE.

A message was received from the Senate reporting the adoption ot the joint resolution extending the time for the collection of State taxes sixty days. The Senate on Tuesday passed it hill repealing the District Court act Conley, Acting Governor of* Georgia. Bonj. Conley, having been brought into prominence by the resignation of Bullock—lie being President of the Senate at the time—it will be interesting to many readers to learn something of his pedigree. We get the information from the Hew Era : Benjamin Conley was born in the city ot Newark, New Jersey, March 1, 1815, and is consequently in his 57 th year. On the first of January, 1830, he moved to Augusta, Georgia, and en gaged in mercantile pursuits. In 18,42 he married Miss Sarah H. Seinmes, of Washington, Georgia, a member of a family whose name is inseparably interwoven with the his tory of the South during the oast o * eventful decade. In 1845 Mr. Conley was chosen a member of the City Council of Augusta, and was successively re elected for ten terms until the year 1857, when lie was chosen Mayor of that city. Xu the following year he was re-elected to the same hon orable and responsible office without opposition. In IS6I, after the breaking out of the war, lie retired from business and removed temporarily from Au gusta to his plantation ia the neigh borhood of Montgomery, Alabama, where he remained, engaged in tiie quiet and congenial pursuits of the farmer until the close of the war, when, in iB6O, he returned to Au gusta and resumed business. In 1867 Mr. Conlej- was appointed by Major General Pope a member of the City Council of Augusta, and while occupying that position he was elected one of the ltadical dele gates from the 18th Senatorial Dis trict to the Constitutional Conven tion of Georgia, called in pursuance of the Deconstruction Acts of Con gress. After the adjournment of the Convention he was elected to the State Senate from the Eighteenth District, and upon the assembling of that body, in July, 1868, he was elected President. He was again chosen President of the State Senate in 1870, when the Legislature of Georgia assem bled in Atlanta, and was organized in accordance wth the provisions of the act of Congress of Decem ber 22, iB6O. By virtue of his position as pre siding officer of the State Senate, he was installed, on the 30th day of October, 1871, as Governor of Geor gia, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the former in cumbent, R. B. Bullock. The candidates for Governor multiply. Among the new candi dates mentioned are C. B. Wooten, M. A. Candler, and J. M. Smith. Conley’s Message lo the legislature. Executive Department, [ Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4, 1871. j To the Senate and House of Bepre sentatioes: The unexpected resignation of his Excellency, Governor Bullock, has devolved upon me, as President of the Senate, the exercise of the functions pertaining to the Execu tive Department. In entering upon the discharge of this laborious and responsible task at tills exciting period in our history, 1 can but express the diffi dence which I feel in assuming this weighty responsibility. I enter upon the discharge of these duties, how ever, with the fixed purpose that I will, during the limited period of my official term, do all in my power to promote peace, harmony and good will among our people, and to advance the best interests of the State. While it is well known to you and the people of Georgia, that I have been, and am now, a consistent and unyielding Republican, I shall not, in the discharge of my execu tive duties, permit politics to have anything whatever to do with my conduct. * * * * * * * It seems to me that we have had enough of wrangling and strife, and crimination and recrimination. The country needs repose and quiet, which can never be promoted by continually fomenting political strife. We have had experience enough to demonstrate that nothing has been gained to the people of the South by the adoption of a defiant and boisterous course, while the power rests the government backed by a vast majority of the people of tho Union. Under these circumstances, it is my sincere wish that every de partment of the government of this State, and every class of people, may so shape their conduct that there may be no reason for any dec laration of martial law, any suspen sion of the writ of habeas counts, or any further reconstruction. If the people of the South will be law abiding and law-enforcing, and lay aside all extreme measures, my opin ion is that the day is not far distant when the Congress of the United States will proclaim by act univer sal amnesty, thereby restoring eve ry citizen of the South to tho full measure of citizenship, witli all the rights pertaining to the same. This is a consummation devoutly to be hoped for at the earliest day possi ble. FINANCES. The taxes arc much higher than they were before the war, while the property owned by the people of the State, upon which taxes are to be paid, is infinitely less. Under these circumstances it is a question well worthy the attention of every department of the government how we may so administer the affairs of the State as to impose the lightest burdens upon the people, and se cure the greatest efficiency in the administration of public affairs. In my opinion, it is the imperative duty of the Legislative and Execu tive Departments of the Govern ment, to do everything that can be done consistently with reason and an enlightened policy to reduce tax ation, and remove the burdens un der which onr people now groan. To this end it' is my fixed purpose to curtail all unnecessary expenses in every matter connected with my department, to cut off all super numeraries, if any be found, from positions, and to administer the af fairs of the Executive Department upon principles of the strictest econ omy, not expending a single dollar unless it is actually necessary to do so. In this matter I trust and be lieve I shall have the hearty co-op oration of the General Assembly, and that you will so shape your leg islation as to satisfy the people of the State that the government is in the hands of those who have re gard for their interest, and who are determined to remove from them every burden which is not absolute ly necessary to be borne. 011 account of the short period since I entered upon my executive duties, I am unable to give to the General Assembly a statement of the public debt, or to inform you of the dispositi ,n made of the bonds of the State authorized by the Gen eral Assembly to be issued. I will however, take prompt steps to in quire into the whole matter, and most earnestly urge upon the Leg islative Department of the Govern ment to make thorough investiga tion into this matter, and I will most cheerfully give all the aid of the Executive brahch of the Gov ernment so as to have this impor-, tant subject fully and clearly under stood. EXECUTION OF THE LAWS. It is well known to the General Assembly that violations of the law, growing, in a great measure, no doubt, out of the demoralization which always follows from a war of the magnitude of that through which we have just passed, have been alarmingly frequent in this State ; and it is certainly the duty of every public officer and every good citizen to do everything in his power to discountenance and check lawlessness and crime of every character. So long as popular sen timent is not decided upon this question, and criminals can feci that they have popular countenance, we can expect but little improve ment. It therefore beeomes the duty of the Executive, Legislative and Judieial Departments of the Government to take a firm and de cided stand in favor of law and or der, and to punish crime wherever it may be legally shown to exist, no matter whether the perpetrator be high or low, rich or poor. To this end, the General Assembly should cnaet such laws, if there be any de fect in our present system, as are necessary to give the courts the full power over this subject, and the courts and tho juries should take j hold of this matter with decision j and energy, and teach criminals that the law cannot be violated with impunity. An lit will be a source of pride and pleasure to me, while exercising the executive functions of the government, to aid in every possible manner m the execution of the laws, both civil and criminal. When a court and jury have inves tigated a case calmly and dispas sionately, and the law ha 4 been ad ministered impartially, the case will have to be an extreme one, having some features of mitigation that absolutely call for executive action, before I shall interfere and arrest the execution of the criminal laws. The safety, peace and prosperity of all depend upon the prompt and vigorous execution of the criminal laws in the present deranged condi tion of our society. In this matter, i shall carefully co-operate with the other departments of the govern ment in all measures intended to promote the public good, and to re store confidence and quiet; and I respectfully solicit the aid of all good citizens in every portion of the State, without regard to party af finities, race or color, in support of the government in this important work. *****:«. * Popular education. The General Assembly at its last session enacted a law providing for public schools in this State, which, in tho main, meets my hearty co operation. The act, as is the case in the inauguration of every new system, probably has some defects which a year’s reflection and prac tice may have suggested to those who are now entrusted with the re sponsible duty of representing the people. But I trust a system of popular education may meet with general favor, and commend itself to all. It is very important that we give our people the advantages of a liberal education in all cases where we have the means to do so, and that we should place within the reach of every citizen the means of acquiring the rudiments of a com mon English education. Our re publican institutions rest upon the virtue and intelligence of the peo ple, and it seems to me to be a pa triotic duty to encourage the gen eral diffusion of knowledge by'eve ry means within our power. * * * * * * * I can but commend the wisdom and forethought of the late General Assembly in laying down as one fundamental provision of the sys tem in this State, that the different races shall be separate in th o schools. We can have no mixed schools. It is not for the interest of either race that it should be so. While there should be equal justice done in the distribution of the public funds for the education of the children of both races, our schools should be separate, and our colleges, should be separate. STATE UNIVERSITY AND AGRICULTU RAL COLLEGE. I cannot too strongly commend to the General Assembly the impor tance of a liberal endowment to our State University. No one who reads the history of the State, and the provisions on the subject incor porated into the earlier constitu tions, can doubt that it was the in tention of our fathers to establish and maintain in Georgia a first-class University; and it is a matter of deep regret that the people of Geor gia have so long failed to carryout, :u all its munificence and magnitude, this grand scheme of those wise and great men who laid the foundations of our government. Under our present system,it becomes a matter of necessity that we develop, to the highest extent, the minds of ohi sons and daughters. We have vast physical resources, probably unsurpassed by any State in the Union, but they can never be fully developed until we have first devel oped the mental resources of our people. We must educate our sons for every department in life. It is not enough that we have, as in the past, a respectable college, where Latin and Greek, and the other studies connected with the old col lege curriculum, are taught. Un der our present system, we need, not only educated lawyers, doctors and divines, but we need educated farmers, mechanics and chemists, and educated men in every depart ment of life, and we need an institu tion in our own State, where the young men of Georgia can be pre pared for these various departments, in other words, we need a universi ty where those who are stuying for the law or for the ministry, may be taught Latin and Greek and all the branches necessary to accomplisli them in the pursuit v hich they have chosen. But connected with this we need a school of medicine where a young man desiring, after he has graduated in college, to make the practice of medicine his vocation, can completely prepare himself for that field of usefulness. This might be done by connecting with the Uni versity one or more of our present medical colleges. We already have a law school connected with the University. We need also a de partment where civil engineering can be taught to greater advantage than we are now able to teach it. We need a department where ap plied chemistry and applied mathe matics can be taught as fully as in any other institution, so that a young man who desires to make himself a practical chemist, can get his education at home; or, if he desires to make himself a master mechanic, he can be educated for that department; or, if he desires to become an architect, he can be accomplished for that department ; and so with every useful branch of knowledge. In this way, the State of Georgia would be able to educate all her sons at borne, and to draw within her bosom, to receive a liber al education, hundreds and even thousands of the youth of the other Southern States. The endowment for this purpose should be a liberal one, which might well be made by issuing bonds of the State having fifty or an hundred years to run, payable to the University, tho in terest only to be paid annually, and the amount should be large enough to endow every professorship neces sary to make the University such an one as Georgia might well be proud of. & ***' * * * * In my judgment, there is no pos sible way in which half a miluon or even a million of dollars could be invested, which would redound so much to the future glory, grand eur and greatness of our noble old State. I especially commend this matter to the earnest and serious consideration of this General As sembly. In recommending the endowment of the Scate University, I intend no thing unfriendly to tho denomina tional colleges. They have done much to elevate the standard of education in Georgia, and have been, and still are institutions of which not only the denominations to which they belong, but the whole people of the State may be justly proud. * * * * * * * If the Legislature should think proper to endow the University lib erally in the manner proposed, it would then, in my judgment, be good policy to turn over to the State Agricultural Society the land scrip which has been generously donated by the Congress of the United States, and to permit said society, as the trustee of the State, to en dow an agricultural college at Mil ledgeville, with a branch at Dahlon ega, where all that pertains to a practical agricultural education may be obtained by the youth of our State. In this manner all conflict upon this question will be reconciled and all conflicting interests served in a manner that would tend to the future growth and prosperity of the State. Before dismissing the subject, 1 would further remark that justice demands and endowment of the At lanta University for the colored population ot our State, which will he sufficient for all their wants at their present stage of advancement. By making reasonable provision for them, and building up their college iu this State, we forever settle the vexed question, which would be come a very troublesome one if they should seek admittance into the University of the State, and carry out the good understanding which has already been inaugurated be tween the two races—that not only their schools, but their colleges are to be kept perpetually separate and distinct from each other. THE STATE DEBT. * * * * * While I regret that our liabilities have been increased to the amount already reached, and would advise great caution upon this subject in the future, I cannot too strongly impress upon you the convictions of my own mind as to the impor tance of maintair ing the public faith inviolate. No State in the Union has maintained a higher or more unsullied character for integrity and the faithful performance of her obligations in connection with all fi nancial matters than our own be loved Georgia. And whatever may be the burdens to which we are now subject, and whether wisely or un wisely incurred, vve should meet them with that spirit of integrity and honor which has always charac terized the people of Georgia, and their representatives who have been our predecessors, and which will, I trust always continue to boa sub ject of just pride. Whatever may be our misfortunes, or our depressed condition, let it never be said that the State of Georgia has violated her plighted faith or failed to re gard as sacred and meet promptly all her legal and moral obligations. In concluding this communica tion, I desire again to urge upon you the importance of moderation, wise caution and harmony in all our official action : and sincerely invoke the blessings of Almighty God upon our beloved State.
