Even the New York Tribune is

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

There is a Gun in Macon who very
frequently goes off without any

A waiter at Carlo’s, in Macon,
declares, positively that the Tele

three broiled partridges; and we

A Radical Tax Assessor in Tex

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.

December last. He was ably de

and A. Hawkins, Esq. The verdict
of the jury was, “Guilty of volunta

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.

[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.

QUITMAN SUPERIOR COURT. )
Novemreb Term, 1871$
Upon tho organization of the Court at thig
Term, W. P. Jordan, Esq., announced the
death of Louis A. 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.

Grand Jury Presentments.
Randolph Superior Court.
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,
