THE APPEAL. J. P. SAWTELL, ELAM CHRISTIAN, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CUTHBERT: k FRIDAY, November 24,18*1. FOR GOVERNOR: Col. HERBERT FIELDER, OF RANDOLPH. Demmcjnritlc .sWale"" fcon ‘ vent ion. A Convention of the Democratic party will assemble in Atlanta on Wednesday, the oth day of Decem ber next, at 10 o’clock, a. m., to nominate a candidate for Governor. By direction of the State Demo cratic Executive Committee. Clifford Anderson, Ch’nu’. Weston has arrived in Savannah. He will walk during the Fair. Tub census it is said, embraces seventeen million women. Who would be a cesus ? Hon Lewis Tomlin, of Bartow, has been suggested for Governor. Still they come! A “game well” is the latest sensation in Qwiney, Fla. Dogs, negroes, or cattle are hauled out frequently. Last Sunday week Geneva, in Switzerland, was visited by a terri ble conflagration, which left it al most in the condition of Chicago. A man ia Atlanta stole an over coat one day, was married the next, and pot in jail the third. Who can tell what a day will bring forth? The “ Central OHy ” is the name of anew paper soon to be started in Albany, Ga., by Willis M. lius sell, formerly of the Bainbridge Argus. The Telegraph Gunn says wo have plenty of music o’ nights. Guess he “knows how it is himself,” for his little Gunns doubtless “ go off” at night. A little daughter of the Rev. C. W. Maxon fell from a balcony at the residence of Mrs. Smith in Tal botton, a few days since, and re ceived injuries from which she died. What is the difference between a barn door, and a loafer in a print ing office ? Because the one is a barn door as a matter of course, and the other is a darn bore, as a matter of fact. The Bainbridge. Argus insists that the young bloods of that town should Cither stop eating onions or drinking whiskey. They should be ashamed of themselves to raise such an odor. Why not eat spice to kill the sent like they do up here. Our Sheriff, on Wednesday morning last, brought to this place, from Ala., a young man for confine ment in our jail. Upon enquiry we learned that he was too much mar>> ried —having two wives in Georgia and one iu Fla. The Catholics at Hunter’s Fount, N. Y., threatened violence against the public school in the first ward of that place on account of the Bi ble being read thore. Police were yesterday detailed to protect the building. A bill is to be introduced before the Legislature to incorporte a “Farmers’ and Mechanics'Loan and Trust C 0.,” for Randolph Cos. We know nothing of the provisions of the bill, but will try and procure a copy of the same for publication. The Election IJii.l.—Acting Governor Conley vetoed the elec tion Bill on Tuesday, and Wednes day it was passed over the veto by both houses. A convention is called in Atlanta on the; 6th- Dec., to nominate a can didate for Governor. The Griffin Star appeals to the mammas of the young girls in Grif fin to “let out the tucks,” in their short dresses, to protect them from the cold wind. Fitch certainly was nos at hpme, or this suggestion would have beeu suppressed. Or pethaps bis sight is failing. new telegraph line has reach ed Macon, and opened an office for the. transaction of business. This new line transmits dispatches at one-half the rates of the old, and is reported doing a heavy business.— Now let us have another express line. Thaw® is a plenty of business for too lines—at One half the present tariff. The Gamsvillc Era has this: Seventy-two is leap year, on which occasion the Democratic party will leaji) info power, and the Radicals leap out of existence. Wheieatall good people will leap for joy.— There are to be two eclipses of the moon, two of the sun and one of General Grant—which latter will be a total and invisible in all parts of the United States. The new year begins on Monday, which is to give the girls a fair start in the race for lea|> year privileges. Seventy-nine persors are coffined in the jail dt Yo.kvdU*, for viola tions of the Ku Ivlnx acts of C» n grofis. Let There be a Conven tion. _Jhfirc. are some l'easpyjpt why the Delnocralic nomination may be, maadc as early as practicable, but tpjjre arc very weighty reasoni why that nomOption shoulAnot he made by*the members Os th?rLx?gislatnre, at the Capital. And we are glad to learn that the members recognize the situation, and many of them, from the outset, would not think of a nomination otherwise than by a convention of the people. The elec tion bill awaits the sanction of the acting Governor, and it is a matter of some surprise, even in posted circles, that he has hesitated at all in the premises. Wo undci stand the Cbairmaa of the Democratic Executive Commit tee, though induced to call the Con vention at Macon, is fearful that his motives may be misunderstood, and as such Conventions are generally held at the Capitol—he is disposed to call the Convention at Atlanta. We tliiuk there arc some good rea sons why this rule should not hold good at present, and wc hope the body will meet at Macon No mat ter what grounds there are for such belief, there is, unmistakably, a wide spread belief that a “ ring,” with headquarters at Atlanta, is calculating on “ running the ma chine.” Consequently, many peo ple would doubtless fail to be alto gether satisfied with a nomination made in Atlanta at this time. The people are determined to manage their affairs from this time on—the day of rings is over —and anything bearing the least resemblance to “ stocked hands ” will not be toler ated. The notice will necessarily be short, and the Convention should be held at the place most conven iently reached from all parts of the State. Macon is the place Immortalized Himself. We have ahvays predicted of our good natured friend —Jno. Black, of the Eufaula Nows—if an oppor tunity ever presented itself, he would immortalize himself. It was not until Tuesday night last, such a coveted opportunity presented it self. Os course he was in attend ance on the big show of Robinson’s and just before the close of the en tertainment the little unruly mule was brought into the ring, and vol unteers called for to ride the same After several fruitless attempts on the part of the clown, to get some one to ride said ani -muel, our genial friend of the News, rather than see the show stop, presented himself, and after being “ deep seated” on tho back of “January,” began to kick and spur, while all were cry ing “ Whoa January.” Ho (the mule) soon began to double and twist, and in an instant Bro. Black was fiat of his back, and rising ex claimed in tho bitterness of his grief, *• O ! ever thus from childhood's hour, I’ve seen my fondest hopes decay, I’ll nevei vide another mule. £o long ns my head is gray.’’ Ouit Railroads. —Rumor has it that work will be resumed in a few days on the B. C. & C., and B. <fc A. Railroads, and be pressed through as rapidly as possible. We were unable to learn any particulars. Good Tay.—Henry Clews *& Cos , of New York, Bullock’s financial agents, have received as comissions, (he snug sum of $92,995.30 and yet claim a little balance on interest amounting to $4,061.<8. This is pretty heavy pay. B. and A. R. R.—The Bruns wick Appeal learns that there was a reorganization of the company that owns this road in New York, Thursday last, Charles L. Frost was chosen President, and two new Directors, names not given, were appointed. Denies it. — An impression hav ing gained some prevalence, that a combination had been entered into by Senator Norwood, Gen. Wofford, and others, looking to the election of the former to his present posi tion and the latter to fill the unex pired term of Rufus the absquatu lated, Norwood lias published a card flatly denying that anything of the kind exists. Something New Under the Sun.—Louisville, Nov, 17.—The Courier Journal to-morrow publish es a startling letter from the South, which sets forth that a society, strong in number and in wealth, has been organized, having for its object the importation of negroes and ruffians into the Northern States. The letter in question is very positive and specific. It says the plan is to furnish such negroes as are dangercous in every commu nity with the means of getting away, requiring them to go north of tiie Ohio river. The society is opposed to that of Ku Klux. It claims.that it has the right, in the absence of local justice, denied by the General Government, to get rid of its murderers and marauders by means of money. It is alleged that the increase of negro criminals in the North during the last three months is the result of the opera tions of this new society." Who are not Disqualified by the Fourteenth A mendnient. The Atlanta Son discusses this question, we think, fairly. After quoting from the constitution of Georgia as to who constitute Exec utive and Judicial officers, and cit ing the ease of Representative Waddell, of North Carolina, whom Congress admitted to his seat not withstanding he had been Clerk of the Supreme Court of the State and a Lieutenant in the Confederate army, the Sun proceeds with the following specifications: According to onr constitution and law's, and according to the ac tion of Congress, in the Waddell case, the f<'flowing officers, being ministerial, are not prohibited from holding office under the Fourteenth Amendment, even had they been Generals, Colonels, Captains, or Pri vates, in the Confederate States army. In the Legislative Department.— The Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House of Representa tives, and their Clerks Door-keep ers and Messengers. All elected by the Legislature. Judicial Department. —-Clerk and Reporter of the Supreme Court, elected by the Court. Clerks of Superior and Inferior Courts, Sheriffs and Constables, elected by the people. Notary Public, appointed by Court.

Tax Receivers, Tax Collectors, County surveyors, Coroners, elect ed by the people. Georgia Next. —Since several counties in South Carolina have been placed under martial law by Grant, it has been reported several times, and as often disputed, that several counties in this State would soon be in the same condition. — The New York Herald says there is no doubt of Akerman’s having thought very seriously of recom mending such a course to the Pres ident. The Herald says: From current indications it is quite possible that the Ku klux act will before long be in operation in several of tho late insurrectionary State*. The great mass of those who compose the working force of the Klan read no newspapers and have no intercouse that reaches be yond their own county seats; con sequently the suppressive measures adopted in South Carolina are not felt in North Carolina, Georgia or Mississippi, and the only way to im press the policy of the government upon the guerillas of any one sec tion of the South is to let them feel its weight among themselves, ir respective of what has or has not been done elesewhere. This is not the easiest, but it is the only effect ive way. The Ku-klux klan in the Southern States is the tail end of the rebellion, and General Grant, being ordered thereto by Congress, intends to crush it out at any cost or risk. Destructive Fire in Cirif fin. About five o’clock on Thursday morning, the alarm of fire was giv en, and in a few minutes it was dis covered that the store of W. H. Roberts was almost wrapped in flames, and before the fire compa nies could get on the spot the store house of Henry Burr was on fire, with the wind blowing from the northwest with such fury that it made it very difficult to stop the progress of the fire. But our effi cient fire department went to work with a determination to save the property of their fellow citizens, and by bard work the fire was checked in the store of Henry Burr. And we don’t believe that any oth er set of men in the world would have done the same work that was done by the Griffin fire department in stopping the fire. The store of W. 11. Roberts, including the stock and everything, was destroyed.— The house of Henry Burr was de stroyed, and all bis goods were con sumed or damaged. The following is an estimate of the losses: W. H. Roberts’ loss $6,000, insu rance $4,500 in the Franklin Insu rance Company of Philadelphia; Henry Burr’s loss $15,000, insured in Homo and Continental Insurance Company of New York for $7,500; Moss & Williams’ loss $4,000, in sured for $2,000; Masonic Lodge, which was over the store of Rob erts, loss $4,000, insured for $2,000; J. M. Glass, merchant tailor, who occupied the front room of the Ma sonic Hall, up stairs, lost $3,000, no insurance; A. B. Phelps, next door to Burr’s building, lost by moving goods, stealage, etc., $3,000, insured for $2,000, iu the Liverpool and Loudon and Globe; W. J. Kincaid, loss, by damage of goods, $1,000; W. W. Walker & Bro. loss, damage of goods, $ 1,000; W. W. Dews’ loss, damage of goods, SI,OOO. The whole block of buildings wo ild have been destroyed had it not been for one of Silsby’s Steam Fire engine, lately purchased by the city, in the hands of the best set of boys in the world. The fire supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Griffin Star, l7//i. A man named J. Mallen has been arrested at Clems, Marin County, Cal., for murdering his partner, named Thomas Silvas, in order to secure S6O. He compelled a wo man with whom he lived to assist him in sinking the body in Bolinas Bay, and she revealed the murder. Legislative Synopsis. Atlanta, November 17.—Sen ate —The House resolution in re gard to public printing, which was tabled yesterday, was taken up and amended by striking out that part relating to the election of State Printing, and passed. The bill to repeal the act to ex tend liens, setoffs and recoupments, was tabled. The following bills were passed : A bill making it a penal offense to sell liquor to minors without the consent of parent or guardian. A bill to repeal the Allapha Cir cuit bill so far as it relates to the counties of Lowndes, Echols, Clinch, Coffee, and Ware. The bill to enforce section 5, arti cle 12, of the Constitution, provi ding for juries and merging the ju risdiction of courts of law and equity, after much discussion, was passed. A bill to compensate clerks, sher iffs and ordinaries. A bill to provide the manner of in coprorating documentary evidence, and bills of exception. All were passed. A bill to repeal article 3489, and amend article 3525 of tho Code, making personal property when held two years, free from liens. The Senate amendment to the House resolution, relative to public printing, was concurred in. A message was received from the Governor, approving the resolution requiring the State Road officers to pay the State Treasurer all moneys belonging to the road, still in their hands. The Committee on Privileges and Elections reported no electiou in Calhoun county, where the ballot box was stolen and recommended anew election. The report called forth considerable discussion, but was not acted upon. By Mr. Smith—A bill to inoor K irate the Atlanta and Jacksonville arrow Guage Railroad Company. The following bills were passed : —A bill to require Judges to give article 1436 of the Code in charge to grand juries; to relieve joint debtors by judgment; to authorize the appointment of auditors in cases at law; to grant State aid to the Albany and Columbus Railroad Company—2o to ll; to require Ordinaries to publish homestead notices in tho papers which they usually advertise; to more effect ually punish acts of violence. The bill to prevent railroads from run ning on Sunday w r as recommitted. The House amendment to the resolution to apportionate represen tation was concurred in. This amendment provides for apportion ing Senators as well as Representa tives. House. —The report of the Elec tion Committee, declaring no elec tion was held in Calhoun county, after much debate, was adopted. The following bills were passed : A bill to allow a counter showing to a motion for continuance; to allow the authorities of the city of Cutli bert to issue bonds for educational purposes; to increase the pay of ju rors in Randolph county; and also several local bills. An Opinion about Cotton.— Mr. Gavit, the traveling correspon dent of the New York Express, thus writes from Macon : During the last fifteen days I have interviewed probably fifty leading Planters from various sections, and ave unquestionable evidence that the crop of 1871 will be at least one third short cf that of 1870. In many districts there will only be one half of the previous year, but the total will about average as above stated. For an example, a gentleman whom 1 conversed with at Macon— and to whom I was introduced by General Colquitt, President of the State Agricultural Society, as one of the best planters in his district, and who cultivates a large farm near Albany, Ga., informed me that last year his yield was 317 bales; and with more land under cultivation this year, and unceasing labor, will only get 200 bales. And his expe rience is about that of his neighbors, in one of the richest cotton dis tricts of the South. Tlius the large receipts at the principal shipping ports and other depots are no criterion of the yield of the year. Most of the cotton producers were largely in debt to the merchants and factors, thus they were forced to send the staple for ward to cover these advances ; but the great bulk is already in, and the iuturc receipts will show a marked decrease. The Brunswick and Albany li. R —The rolling stock of the Bruns wick and Albany Railroad has been released. It will be remembered that this stock was seized by the employes of the road on account of money due them under the manage ment of H. I. Kimball. Superin tendent Haines, of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad has made arrange ments to run trains three times a week to Albany and Brunswick in connection with the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, and it is probable that the arrangement will go into operation next week. By the fail ure of the former management to meet its obligations, a large num ber of employes have been out of work and have not been paid off for months. The robing stock, and the arrangement by which trains may be run, will, no doubt, be a matter of congratulation among travelers and business men.—Bain bridge Argus. News of a horrible murder in Kansas has just come to hand. One John Flanaghan, having suffered some pecuniary loss, resolved to kill himself and his family. He dosed his wife and two little girls with chloroform. The mother recovered iu time to see her husband driving tenpenny nails witli a hatchet into the heads of the children. She dis armed him and raised an alarm, and the wretched man was secured. The majority of Beveridge for Congressman at large in Illinois, is only 19,000. The Statement of Clews & Cos. The Atlanta Constitution, with a view to ascertaining all trhe facts on both sides relating to the huge bill the State presented by Gov. Bullock’s New York bankers, has had an interview with the attorney of Messrs. Clews & Cos. He stated that the New York house knew nothing about Bullock, except that lie was Governor of the State, and recognizing him as such, they ad vanced him money in good faith, not considering themselves bound to look to its disposition. We copy from the Constitution’s report of Mr. Crosby’s statements : They have forwarded regular monthly statements of their ac counts to Bullock, and Mr. Crosby was surprised when he came here to find that Bullock had pocketed them, and not one was on tile in any office of the State government. Mr. Crosby did not even bring the ac count with him, expecting to find it on file in the State House, and had to telegraph back for a copy for presentation to the acting Exec utive. They feel in this matter that Bullock has treated them very badly. The amount of $1,650,000 bonds sold by them was a bona fide sale to European capitalists. The sales were made in bulk. They have now in their possession SIOO,OOO more of the same gold bonds.— This leaves a balanee of $1,250,000 of the gold bonds out in other hands. The item of $377,000 advanced on the State Road is included in the account we published, and not a separate matter. It was all done under Bullock’s instructions on the State account. The balance of $47,- 145 50 is all that is due them, for which they hold the §IOO,OOO of bonds. Mr. Crosby states that Clews and Cos. have also been deceived in re gard to the Cartersville Sc Van Wert Railroad matter. They ad vanced the money to build this road, and have been informed that it was completed to its full extent, and hold the §275,000 of bonds issued for this road. On coming out here Mr. C. finds fourteen miles of road done as broad gauge, and tho remainder of twenty-two miles graded for narrow guage, it being the purpose to change the completed fourteen miles to narrow gauge. In Mr. Crosby’s opinion this change is illegal, as the broad gauge road finished, furnish es the security upon which the State’s aid was granted, and change to narrow guage diminishes that security. In regard to the Brunswick A Albany road, Mr. Crosby states that Clews & Cos. have advanced large amounts of money for this enter prise, and are discussing the pro gramme of completing the road to Cuthbert, and will probably do it. Startling Proposition by a Radical. —The Atlanta correspond ent of the Augusta Chronicle, de scribing the proceedings of the Senate on Monday, says: Mr. Bruton introduced a startler, which suspended even tho eating of our daily goober pea, and brought the Senate to a breathless silence. The Senator, who represents De catur county in the Senate, declares, by a resolution, that slavery was abolished by the act of the officers of the army and the President— and that the loss of our slaves should be borne by the country, and he calls for an imposing commission to gather the statistics of our loss, &c., and report them to the author ities for future action. I could but enjoy the mute amazement in old Campbell’s looks, and the fidgety movements of the other Senatorial darkies, as the reading of the bill progressed. The “King” seemed to be feeling for Wendell Phillips’ old arguments, exploding “man’s property in man,” aDd the rest of the lot did not exactly see that it all did not mean what Judge McCoy used to tell them, a re-establish ment of slavery in Gergia. Reveßdy Johnson to the Res cue.—Reverdy Johnson favors the proposed abandonment by the Dem ocratic party of the ground it has hitherto occupied. He recommends the following policy for adoption by t T -e next National Democratic Convention : “ Let the members ot this convention place before the country some name which all Con servatives as well as Democrats can support, and announce, if they declare any political principles, noth ing which could be offensive to ei ther conservative Republicans or Democrats. If this .shall be done, 1 believe that our triumph will be certain, and surely all should unite in labor to that end who value the Constitution of the nation, and know the worth of political and civil liberty.” The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Ledger telegraphs that paper on the 17th, as follows : The Congressional sub-Commit tee, composed of Senators Bayard and Blair, and Representatives Maynard and Schofield, have finish ed their travels. The States visited by them were Florida and Georgia, and from what they heard and saw none of the committee are prepared to recommend that any stringent measure be inaugurated so far as these localities are concerned. Low Fare. —We learn that the Macon and Augusta Railroad has reduced the rate of fare to Charles ton from gill 50 to 08. This is a very material reduction, and places Charleston upon the same footing as Savannah with regard to expense of travel from this point—Tele graph. Big Sale of Wheat. —Colonel Lewis Tuiulin, of Cartersville, yes-, terday, sold toa miMingfirm in Mari etta, five thousand bushels of wheat for ten thousand dollars, to be de livered on the 20th of July next. “As good as wheat,” is a favorite | saying. —A thmtci Constitution, Democratic Ring. --We see a g;»od deal in some of onr State ex changes about the existence of a ring in the Democratic Legislature that is trying to eontrol matters, and a quantity' of vigorous thunder is fired against said ring by our said exchanges. As far ..as we have been able to learn there is no such ring. The whole matter is a myth. It is very natural that the cry should be rais ed by a minority in any party, whose voices may be voted down.— It is a favorite warfare against ma jorities. In this case we ikmk the cry is undeserved. But at the same time we do not think the subject inappropriate and unseasonably discussed. The *en dency of politics is to rings, and a considerable tendency it is. And it ought to be put down. And it is possible the clamor against it may' correct any proclivity to the forma tion of a ring. Let us hr ve no rings of any kind. At the same time let ns not charac terize a strong unanimity of senti ment among honest men, leading to decided unity of action on public questions as the conspiratorial work ing of a corrupt ring. This is wrong.— Constitution. Georgia’s Great Men. —The Mobile Tribune pays the following tribute to Georgia. It is richly de served : We have always looked upon Georgia as a great State and regard ed her sons as talented, brave and true, but we have been ignorant of the number of great statesmen within her borders until Bullock’s resignation made it apparent that a Governor was to be elected for the unexpired term. The number of truly grant, and eminently good, and scrupulously honest, and unsel fishly patriotic statesmen—thought to be so scarce iu these degenerate times—who have been unearthed by the newspapers am! correspondents, within the past two weeks, is per fectly astounding. The Southern States.—The Washington organ of the adminis tration, after alluding to the late, election in the Southern States which resulted adversely to its pnr ty, says : “'lt will require not less than ten thousand troops judicious ly distributed throughout the South ern States to insure a free and fair election in those States in 1872. It may be necessary that Congress should increase the army.” New Advertisements. Piano Tuning and Repairing.
