THE APPEAL. J. P. SAWTELL, ELAM CHRISTIAN, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CUTHBERT: FRIDAY, December 1,1871. FOR GOVERNOR: Col. HERBERT FIELDER, OF RANDOLPH. The Prince of Wales 5s sick. Gen Howard has done got rich off the Freedman’s Bureau, and will soon recommend the entire aboli lition of the whole concern. Grxeley maintains that the field it still open, and intimates that he is still in the field for the Presiden cy. They have got about half the highest officers of the New York City Government in limbo for steal ing- Cotton. —Wednesday’s dispatch es report cotton in New York, at J 9 for uplands and l9f for Orleans. Macon—Middlings 17J. Even the New York Tribune is not able longer to hide its eyes to the enormity of Radical carpet bag frauds in the Southern States. When the courts destroy Mor monism in Utah, it would be a good place for old bachelors to go to. It will be easy to marry there. A Recess.— From the action of tbe Democratic caucus Tuesday night, it is probable that the Legisla ture will take a recess from the sth of December to the 17th of Jannary. Some girls are like old muskets— they nse a good deal of powder but will not go off. — Exchange. There is a Gun in Macon who very frequently goes off without any powder at all. A waiter at Carlo’s, in Macon, declares, positively that the Tele graph Coluinbiad can “chamber” three broiled partridges; and we suppose that accounts for the con stant noise about Carlos. A Radical Tax Assessor in Tex as has committed suicide for fear of being detected in huge frauds. Now, if we could just get the bal ance ol them that badly scared, there would soon be a largo num ber of vacancies. One day last week a man entered the office of the City Sanitary In spector of New York, apparently in the last stago of confluent small pox. lie said that he arrived from Europo about three weeks ago, but that no symptoms appeared until Thursday last. The Inspector said it was one of the worst cases he had ever seen, and sent the patient to the sranll-pox hospital. A panic arose among the Health Board’s clerks, and buckets of Carbolic acid were dashod all over tho offices and the corridors in front of the Inspec tor’s office. A Grand Reception. —The re ception of the scion of Russian Im perialism in New York last week, is described by the World and Her aid as a magnificent affair. Twen ty-one regiments of National Guards were in line, and escorted Alexis to the hotel, which had been assign ed as his residence while in the Me tropolis. In this building apart ments of oriental grandeur, resplen dent with gold and silver, silk and damask, immense mirrors and band some paintings, had been fitted up, and the Grand Duke piobably thought that American Republicans are not so simple in their tastes as they are said to be. Os course he was interviewed by all shoddyism and a shoal of reporters. The Germaus of Chicago evi dently agree with Do Quincy, that a gift horse may be looked in the mouth. The Crown Prince and Emperor sent to the sufferers by the fire 1,400 thalers (1,125,) which was declined in the following more pitby than polite language: Resolved, That we, the under signed, formerly subjects in Ger many, request, the committees in stituted for tho relief of Chicago to indignantly reject this miserable pittance thrown to us by Ilis Maj esty the Emperor of Germany and Ilis Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Prussia and lady ; and be it further Resolved, That the undersigned subscribe the sums figuring after their names below, in order that they may, together with the 1,500 thalers, be distributed among our poor countrymen who have been ruined, maimed, or crippled by the Franco-Prussian war, and who are to-day yet German subjects. Page Convicted. George F. Page, a negro member of the Legislature, from Lee county, was was tried last week before Sumter Superior Court (to which the venue was changed) for the murder of William Miller, on the Bth day of December last. He was ably de fended by Gen. Philip Conk and Col.C. T. Goode, the prosecution be ing conducted by Judge R. L. Lyon and A. Hawkins, Esq. The verdict of the jury was, “Guilty of volunta ry man slaughter. Counsel for the prisoner moved for anew trial, winch had to be argued at last accounts, Savaimah Fail*. I We spent one day of last week at the fiir of the Industrial Associ ation of Georgia. We regret that lack of space forbids such an ac count of onr visit as we would like to give. The fair was, in every seuse of the word, a grand success; and so pronounced by every 7 one we have seen who visited it. In the hands of those princely fellows of the Savannah press, of course we “ faired ” somewhat like the Rus sian Prince Alexis in Washington— leaving off the flunkeyism, attend ing that boy’s visit. We didn’t see Weston, the won. derful W alkist, but we saw GorJ man, of the Talbotton Standard, and will w ager our “ new umbril ” that he can beat the oldest man in the State. (By the way, we heard some talk of his taking a contract to carry the mails from Talbotton to Geneva, for an early morning walk.) We saw Harris, the bright light of the Morning Neics. Asa blonde he is a decided success; but as a Blondin lie’d doubtless bje a greater success, as there is hardly weight enongh to carry him off the rope on either side; and he would have no trouble at all about the fire-works. The press of the State was well represented. They were all appa rently in the best of spirits. The side-shows were numerous— the skeleton of a whale, a female rope-walker, a balloonist, painted Irish Indians, monkey-shows—any kind of a show a fellow wanted to see. The most interesting thing on ex hibition—save the charming ladies, of course—was the Traction Road Steamer, which moved about the grounds like a thing of life, and clearly demonstrated its practica bility and utility. The display of fruits, vegetables and flowers from lower Georgia and Florida was very large, and kept our mouth watering so that we had to spend a nickle for apples every time we w r ent to that quarter. The Central Railroad’s arrange ments for transporting the visitors to and from the grounds were per feet —lengthy trains running every half hour. Os course they were crowded, (we at one time had to surrender our lap to a huge mass of motherly humanity,) but every body managed to go and come. The city wears a business aspect, and her merchants were prepared to show off their stocks to the best advantage. Savannah is a good place to go to —especially during the fair. A Aice President. The Boston Post says : The tele graph is at its accustomed work in trying to deeieve the people into the belief that Gen. Grant writes his own messages. The announcement is made, with perfect coolness, that the President receives no visitors about these days, being occupied in the preparation of his message to the forthcoming Congress. But it will be strange, notwithstanding if we do not next hear of him as be ing in confereece with Murphy, at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel. Events have shown that the presence of the President is quite unessential to the preparation of an Executive message, or proclamation, or docu ment, of any of the most important sort. The President was jaunting in Maine, a thousand miles away from the capital, more or less, when he affixed the seal and set his hand to the proclamation in which he de prived ten counties of South Caro lina of tho legal guarantees of liber ty. There were inaccuracies, de ceptions, dishonesties, even, in that proclamation ; aud so there may be, and probably will be, in the expect ed message ; but they will not be chargeable any 7 more to the pres ence than to the absence of the President from the immediate scene of preparation. South Carolina. —The State Treasurer publishes a statement of the debt of South Carolina. Bonds printed, twenty-two and a half mil lions, whereof six millions are still with the American Bank Note Com pauy, three millions are in the State Treasury, one million cancelled and destroyed, and three millions issued by the Treasury for convertion of former liabilities, leaving nine and a half millions in the bands of the State’s financial agent, at N. Y. The old debt is nearly six and a half mil lions. The new bonded debt is over five and a half millions. The total debt is nearly twelve millions. The State authorities in order to save the bonds now under hypothecation from sale, propose employing some responsible bank, and discontinuing the present agency. Among the objects of interest at the recent fair of the American In stitute, in New York, was a har vesting machine from Illinois, which cuts, threshes, cleans and sacks the grain in one operation. It is drawn by four horses geared abreast, and will harvest from ten to fifteeu acres per day. Only two men are requir ed—one to drive, and one to re move the bags of grain. Synopsis. Friday. — Senate. A message was received from the Governor stating the approval of an act to remove tho countv site of Clarke county from Watkiusville to Ath ens. Mr. Bruton offered a resolution providing for a joint committee to take into consideration the advan tage of granting further aid to the Atlantic and .Gulf Railroad, in which the State ow r ns 19,000 shares, for the purpose of extending the same from Bain bridge to Mobile, thereby making it a part of the Pacific Route, which was not acted on.

A Radical paper says “ Forney wants to be honest.” There are men in prison for life who want to get out too, and they have about as much showing for it as Forney has of being honest. Franklin said : “ A newspaper and Bible in every house, and a good school in every district, are the principal supports of virtue, moral ity and civil liberty.” [communicated.] Macon, Ga., Nov. 28th, 1871. Editors Appeal: In your issue of the 24th inst., I see an article “communicated,” in which your communicator seems anxious to as sume editorial lfcnors, as he styles himself “We” throughout the arti cle, and gives no name at the close. As the subject is one in which only the readers of the Appeal are inter ested, I propose to answer through your columns. And first, I incline strongly to the opinion that “ We” was one of the parties engaged in the “ calf killing ” business when 11. I. made his famous visit to Cuthbert. A sore backjed horse always flinches and sometimes kicks when the sore spot is touched. As “We” kicks, I guess the spot is very sore w T ith him. But my main object in replying is to correct a misstatement of Mr. “ We.” After “remembering” a few other things with regard to my self, he “ remembers some of his (my) eulogies to H. I.” I beg your pardon, Mr. “ \V e,” you don’t remember any 7 such thing. If ever a word was heard from my lips or seen from my pen in praise of H. 1., nobody heard or saw it except “ We.” Quite to the contrary, Messers. Editors, y r ou both doubt' less remember a conversation in your office, which occurred a few days after “ 11. I.’s ” celebrated Sun day school speech in Cuthbert, in which I expressed myself as su premely disgusted with the action of the people, in thus worshipping a New England developer. Surely Mr. Christian remembers an article prepared by myself for the Appeal shortly afterward, which remained in the office two weeks, and at his request was withdrawn In that article I dul most emphatically de nounce Mr. Kimball as a developer and swindler, warning the people that his money was a nuisance, and would cause them to sutler if they persisted in taking it. “ Wo” confounds our proposition to take “ Kimball money ” with some of his extravagant eulogies to “ 11. I.” ; and because he was one who eagerly sought the first buss at H. I.’s foot when he arrived m Cuth bert, he takes for granted that all W'ho took his money, (so-called) must have eagerly sought a buss too. But “We” thinks he has the “ dead wood ” on mo because of an article I wrote saymg that “ 1 would take Kimball money for meal.” Did every body who took the trash endorse either Mr. K. or the money 7 ? Were we not forced to take it or take nothing ? My ob ject in writing the article referred to, was mainly to induce the mer chants of Fort Gaines to take the money, because many poor people from that section were at work on the road and could get nothing else for their services. Their families had no means of support, save the wages of those at work on the road, and I knew of families having gone to Fort Gaines to buy meat and bread, but went home without it, because the Fort Gaines merchants would not take the money 7. At the mill I look in a great deal of it for meal, and occasionally gave the par ties greenbacks for it that they might get meat. It was answering my purpose at the time, and I was willing to take it simply because I bad to do so, or suspend business.— The greater portion of my trade was from Cuthbert, and I could get nothing there but Kimballcurrency. So great was my confidence in the stuff, that after I closed my “ mill ” business, having four dollars on hand, I went to Cuthbert and pur chased articles that I did not actu ally 7 need, rather than keep it on hand. Did Col. 11. 11. Jones eulogize Mr. Kimball when he received the money for goods in his store in C. ? Was he not severely 7 censured by a correspondent in the Appeal, sign ing himself “ Cuthbert,” because he had ventured to speak a word against Kimball and his money? — “ We” talks about “ motes ’’ and “ beams,” but he was no doubt as hard down upon Gol. Jones for try ing to remove the “ motes ” from his eye, as was “ Cuthbert.” If the people of Cuthbert were “ deceived by Mr. Kimball,” it was their own fault. They severely cen sured everybody who spoke a word of warning, and asked those who had such advice to give, to let them alone. If I did not publicly speak against Mr. Kimball and his mon ey, it w r as because the Appeal did not publish my article upon the sub ject ; for the truth of which state ment, I refer “ We ” to Mr. Chris tian. I hope in the future that “friend ‘We’ will have more charity, and realize his own positiou more fully ” as a member of “an upright chris tion community,” than to “ inno cently and unknowingly deceive ” the public by saying that I wrote “ eulogies to 11. I.” Yery re- pectfully 7 , “ The Gunn of the Telegraph it Messenger.” Note. —The writer of the above is mistaken in regard to the action of the editors in relation to the ar ticle written by him against Kimball and his currency. The article in question laid over one week, and Mr. Gunn was advised by myself to modify that portion of it which re ferred to citizens of Cuthbert, for the reason that it would bring , about a disagreeable person ;d con troversy. He was informed that the article would appear in the next issue of the Appeal, as it then read, if he desired it. Before the next paper was printed, the article was withdrawn in my absence; and X did not see or hear from Mr. Gunn in two or three weeks afterward. The use of the columns of a noth er journal was also proffered, for the publication of the same article ; so that our friend’s memory is sure ly defective, as to the cause of the withholding of his article from the public. I remember the conversation re ferred to, and others in which Mr. Gunn expressed himself as above staled. E. Christian. Eugenie’s Jewels. —A gentle man tavelling in Europe writes of seeing $25,000 worth of Eugen ie’s jewels in pawn atLondon. There were tiaras, necklaces, two large anchors of diamonds, and about five inches long ; lots of brooches, one being a butterfly, the body of which was a large opal, about two inches long, and the wings act npon springs and made of diamonds, rabies and emeralds. There was a wonder ful necklace of black pearls—the only one in existence each being abont as large as a marrowfat pea; also, an emerald cross, quite unique, the emeralds being oblong and set edge to edge nothing between, and about six inches the long part of the cross, and one each side, of the cen tre, to form the arms, was about four and a half inches long. Two earrings of diamonds, the very purest, but each cut like a drop of water, and hung pendant and swinging from the small end, several earinge, all large diamonds, and six diamond rings, one a superb one worth 400 pounds sterling.

Gonkkb, a member of the Georgetown Bar ; and moved that the Court appoint a committee to prepare a suitable ex pression of the respect ol the Court and Bar, for the deceased. His Honor, Judge Harrell, appointed the following Committee, with request to report in open Court, tomorrow : N. P. Jjrdan, R. J. Moses, Jr., John T. Clarke, Beauford S. Worrell and Herbert Fielder. „ Tuesday, Nov 27th, 1871. The Committee submitted the following re port : Louis A. Goxkkk was a native of Raleigh, State of North Carolina, and was fifty-one years of age, at the time of his death, which occurred at Iris residence, near Georgetown, on the 24t.h day of August, 1871. He was ed ucated at Frankl' i College—now the Univer sity of Georgia—and was admitted to the Bar at Athens, Ga., in the year 18—. He was en gaged for many years at Cuthbert. in the prac tice. After having retired from the Courts, and pursued the avocation of planting, lie re sumed the practice at Georgetown, after the late war; and was so engaged, when attacked by disease, of which, after painful lingering for several works, he passed away from earth, and as we have strong reasons to believe, to a happy home in heaven. We, liis brethren of the profession of Law, avail ourselves of this sad hour in the annals of the Court, to express our high apprecia tion of his worth. He was a man of integti ty and honor, of uniform courtesy and kind ness. lie possessed a benevolent heart, gen erous to aid, aud free to forgive. He was an affectionate husband and father; aud those who knew him longest aud best, erL-emed him most. We ask permission to place upon the Min utes of the Court, onr testimonial of his most estimable, private, profess!mal and Christian character ; and we recommend the following Resolution : Ist. That in the death of Louts A. Gonkke, the Court and Bar have sustained an irrepara ble loss; the State of Georgia aud county of Qnitiuan, a valuable citizen; aud from the Church hae passed away a long tried, stable and useful member. 2,1. That we tender t > his bereaved wife and children, and numerous friends, our assu rance of warm sympathy and condolence. 3d That out of respect to the memory of the deceased, the Coutt will adjourn Until the himr of 2 o’clock this evening. 4th. That this report and resolutions be en tered on record, and a copy thereof he furnish ed the family of the deceased, and to the Cuth bert Appeal with request for publication.

NOVEMBER TERM, 1871, IVk. tile Grand Jurors, Sworn, anti em pan.n-b and lor the second week. November Trim. 1871. of Randolph Superior Court, make ti.e foil wing general presett: man Is : We find the Jail to be very neatly kept, but tlieie is a deficiency of bcdciotliing for fit - prsoners' Comfort. We think the win dow gratPs in the original construction of the Jail, were not sufficiently secure. We find the Court House in a somewhat dilapidated condition, still we think it suffi ciently safe for the present, and iu consid eration of our now already onorous burden of taxation cannot recommend any further expenditure of the people’s money. We find the Roads in good condition. We find the Books of the Ordinary, Clerk of Superior Court, Sheriffs, and Tax Collect ors neatly kept. We also find the Treasurer’s Books kept neatly and in good style. Cash on hand 52.513 44. And we, feeling it our imperative duty, to look closely after the financial interest of the county, we have therefore appointed Col. Herbert Fielder, A. J. Moye aud J. E. Bridges, as a committee, to investigate and assertain if possible in what way, and to wbat extent, or whether at all, the forfeitures aud heavy fines ol the Court have been applied. And said Committee, shall report the result, of their investigation to the next Superior Court, and said Committee shall receive for said ser vice, 10 per cent of the amount saved to the county, by said investigation. Ami we recommend unanimously, that our representatives in the Legis ature, use their influence to restore the Capital to Mi Hedge ville. from which place it was fraudulently taken. Finally, we take pleasure in commending the Hon. David B. Harrell, for the prompt and faithful manner in which he has dis charged tho duties of Ins office. Under his administration, criminals have been brought to justice, the majesty of the law vinci rated, by their appropriate punishment, and the civil docket disposed cf, until there are only 38 cases remaining for future adjudication.— We may now hope soon to see the time " Ueu in a tew days all the business can be transacted, anil Litigants, Jurors, and Wit nesses be permitted to return (o their homes, and to the duties incumbent upon tie in.
