THE APPEAL. J. P. SAWTELL, ELAM CHKISTIAN, EDITORS AND Vtlitt KIKTOH3. CUTHBERT; FRIDAY, Decembers, 1871. Revolution is «ifv. in Mexico Again. JITIiGK LoCiiRaNE, of llie Su preme Bench lias resigned. Thk Legislature lias reduced the per diem pay of members to §7 00. Officers to receive §lO 00. A PAur.OT saved the destruction of a horse by fire, in Griffin, recent ly by giving the alarm. TuEßainbridge Argos has chang ed its name to the “ Bainbridgo Democrat.” What’s in a name? The Atlanta Journal' fs the name of anew commercial paper,the first number of which we have received. Thk South Goorgia Methodist Conference convenes in Columbus, on Wednesday the 13th inst. It is reported in Atlanta that IT. I. Kimball is In New Ilaven, sick.— His failure and misfortunes in Geor gia are said to be the cause. The Right Revered Thomas Da vis, Bishop of the Protestant Epis copal Church of South Carolina, is dead. Bullock is reported to be at Buf* falo, near the Canada line, ready to scoot at the first indication of dan ger. The Courier Journal says: “In asmuch as Grant does not give Gov. Bullock, late of Georgia-,, an impor tant appointment, we are tempted to believe that the rascal is innocent.” Hon. Weight Brady, member of the Georgia House of Represen tatives from Sumter County, died fast week. In his death the House has lost a valuable member, and the State a useful, honest citizen. In the Congress which assembled Monday last, December 4, there are fifty seven Republican Senators to seventeen Democrats. The House will stand 139 Republicans, and 104 Democrats. Foster Blodgett is still trying to get into the United States Senate as the representative of Geor gia. When the great State Road job is thoroughly sifted, ho will be more apt to represent Georgia in the Penitentiary. Bruton’s bill, claiming that the Federal Government should pay the southern people the value of their emancipated slaves, met its just defeat by being hurled back upon its author in a manner by no means complimentary. In the message of the Governor of North Carolina the State debt is put at §34,887,404, of which the ante-war debt, and debt proper arc $10,340,760. Os all this large amount some $16,000,000 is for railway appropriations, of which, says the Governor, all has been squandered and wasted except $500,- 000. The Goveinor asks for a com mission on the debt, to devise some plan for its payment, lie disowns any T thoughts of repudiation. A writer in the British Journal of Photography predicts that, owing to the perfection of micro-photo graphy brought about by the neces sities of the Parisian siege, we will soon have our daily papers handed to us the size of a postage stamp, and carry our favorite poets in our vest buttons. We will see “ anew edition of Macaulay complete in three shirt studs,” or “the tiny edition of Dickens” complete in two sleeve buttons. Every one will then carry a microscope as we now do a pen knife. We clip the following from an Atlanta dispatch of the 28th ult. to the Augusta Chronicle <0 /Sentinel. We are reluctant to believe that the acting Governor could have acted so rashly, eveu if he is as unscrup ulously vindictive as such conduct would indicate: “A gentleman just from Washing ton states that Conley has reported to the authorities there, endorsing Bnllock ns one of the most honest and conscientious Governors Geor gia ever had, and declaring that the representative to Congress from the Fifth District was elected through intimidation and other unfair means. Radical Governors. —lt may be some consolation to the South to know that the material of Nor thern Radical Governors is about as bad as that of her own 1 igh offi cials. One O' two have been im peached for high cr'mes and misde meanors, while a contemporary gives this account of a third recently elect ed i Governor Austin, of Minnesota,has been re-elected by tho usual Repub lican majority,' and this in spite of Jtbo &et that it was proved by a label suit which tho Governor had instituted against the St Paul Pio necr that he (Austin) had obtained §5,000 from the President of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Rail road Company, at thejtinui that a bill was in his 1 amis so;- signature, conferring valuable fr nohises upon that company. Thi< is the testi mony of the Pr.i sident in the suit referred to, just as it wis sworn to and taken down by the reporters. The Atlanta Convention. Hon. J. M. Smith the Nominee. The Slate Dt mocratic Conven tion, which assembled in Atlanta on the 6th inst., by acclama* ion, nomi nated the Hon. J. M. Smith, present Speaker of the House, as a candi date for Governor. While we acquiesce in the action of the Convention, and believe the nominee will receive the unanimous support of the party, we are not alone in the opinion that had the Convention been called at some point away from under th* influence of the Legislature, its actions would have been different. Bert in the choice of the Conven tion we have a man against whom naught can be said. One who is eminently qualified for the emergen cy—an able lawyer, incorruptible, firm and resolute in the discharge of every duty. One in whose . hands the interests of the people of Georgia will be as inviolable and sacred as bis own honor and patriot ism has ever been in times that are past. Believing, as we do, that lie will come as near making as good a Gov ernor as Fielder, as any other man in Georgia, we will he content, and enter the campaign with three hearty cheers for Smith. Cold Weather.— A Lawrence, Kansas, dispatch says: The recent storm was an unprecedented one. On the plains of western Kansas large numbers of Texas cattle and several herds were frozen to death. Five bodies, supposed to be buffalo hunters, were brought into Ilays City last night frozen stiff. Great anxiety is felt for other parties hunting buffalo, who have not been heard from. A dispatch from Helena, Monta na, says: Two companies of the 7th Infantry, Major Freeman com manding, while returning from Fort Browning yesterday were caught in a terrible snow storm and a num ber of the men are badly frozen, principally about tbe feet. The command will loose them. The thermometer, at 8 o’clock this eve ning, was 13 degrees below zero. 8- A portion ol our delegation to tbe Atlanta Convention returned tins morning. We have not had an opportunity of converse ing with them, but from a copy of the Con stitution left upon our table, containing full procod ngs of the Convention, we are happy to see the best of foelingipn vailed throughout tlie meeting—and personal aims were lost sight of in the great desire to promote the interests end prosperity of the pat y and pee pie of the State. The following letter from Cot Fielder, was 'read before the Convention, after which the uamesofall other candidates were withdrawn save that ol Hon. J M. Smith, who was, by . c.lauiation, nopiinatid : Atlanta, Ga , Dec. (>. 18.1. Hon. W. D. Kiddoo, of the Band >lpb Dele gation : Dear S:k -After full consultation with friei d>. and in obedience to a sense of duty to the Democratic party of Georgia, whose harmony and success arc above all considera tion ot personal advancement, and in order to cndable the Convention to select a candi date without further contusion and strife, t ln<t m gilt result from rcp< ated balloting?, yon will please announce that I am not a caudi dat for the nomination. W th many thanks to the friends who hate shown ui • so much unmerited devotion. 1 <a - ne-tly request th m to unile with the Con vention on some other man. Truly, your friend, 11 ki.ijkut Fielder The Nomination.—By a special dispatch to the Macon Telegraph we learn the following in telation to the nomination for Governor: lions. \V. T. Wofford, John C Nichols, Herbert Fielder and Janies M. Smith were put in nomination. Before proceeding through a half dozen counties on the first ballot all names bat the last was withdrawn, and James Milton Smith was un m imously nominated by acclamation. lion. Herbert Fielder, in response to calls, made an eloquent and pa triotic speech, and the nominee was waited on by a committee and ap peared in the hall and accepted the nomination in an able speech, amid great enthusiasm. Jubilations and speeches at the Kimball House in honor ts the nomination of Mr. Smith. The Cotton Year—All Told. —The following estimate of cotton from all parts of the world for the year ending September 30, 1871, is from the most reliable source: Crop of the United States, 3,225,000 bales; from the East Indies, 1,500,- 000 bales; Brazil, 550,000; Egypt, 330,000 : other countries, 250,000. Add to above the excess of stock in European ports, 254,000 bales ; ex cess in United States ports, 45,000 bales; and in spinners’ bands 300,- 000 bales, making the total supply for the year 6,790,000 bales Al lowing that the consumption for the entire year will be at the rate of 125,000 bales per week, which ta‘e can only be reduced by cx«> tremely low prices, there would be on hand at the end of the year 239,- 000 bales. Georgia’s Census —A special telegram to the Savnnah News from Washington states that it is officially announced by the Census Bureau that the population of Georgia con sists of six hundred and thirty-eight thousand, nine hundred and twenty six whites,fivehnudred and forty five thousand,one-hundred and forty-two colored ; forty Indians and one Chinese —total, one million, one hundred and eighty-four thousand, one hundred and nine, which gives to hes niue electoral votes, two Senators and seven members of Con gross. The public debt of South Caroli na is only .§1 1,995,30£. From the Telegraph & Messenger. PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. Washington, December 4, 1871. To the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the United States: CONGRATU I.ATIONS. In addressing my third message to the law-making branch of the Government, it is gratifying to be able to state that during the past year success ha3 generally attended the effort to execute all laws found upon the statute books. The poli cy has been not to enquire into the wisdom of the laws already enact ed; but to learn their spint and intent and to enforce them accor dingly. DISASTERS OF THE YEAR. The past year has, under a wUo Providence, been one of general prosperity to the nation. It has, however, been attended with more than usual chastisements and the loss of life and property by storm and fire. These disasters have serv ed to call forth the best elements of human nature in our country, and to develop a friendship for us on the part of foreign nations which goes far towards alleviating the distress occasioned by these calam ities. The benevolent who have so generously shared their means with the victims of these misfortunes, will reap their reward in the con sciousness of having performed a noble act, and in receiving the grate ful thanks of men, women and chil dren whose sufferings they have relieved. ***** * * [The President here makes a lengthy review of foreign affairs, which is of little interest, and we omit it.] TIIK NATIONAL FINANCES. The national debt has been re duced to the extent of §86,057,126,- 80 during the year, and by the ne gotiations of national bonds at a lower rate of interest, the interest on the public debt has been so far reduced that now the sum raised from the interest accounts is nearly §17,000,000 less than on the first of March, 1869. It was highly desir able that this rapid diminution should take place, both to strength en the credit of the country, and to convince its citizens of their entire ability to meet every dollar of lia bility’ without bankrupting them. But in view of the accomplish ment of these desirable ends—of the rapid development of the re sources of the country —its increas ing ability to meet large demands, and the amount already paid, it is not desirable that the present re sources of the country should con tinue to be taxed in order to con tinue this rapid payment. I, there tore, recommend a modification of both the triff and internal tax laws. I recommend that all taxes from internal sources be abolished, ex cept those codec'ed from spirituous, vinous and malt liquors, tobacco in its various forms, and from stamps. In re-adjnsling the tariff, I sug gest that a careful estimate be made cf tbe amount of surplus revenue collected under the present laws, after providing for t’ue current ex penses of the Government—the in terest account and a sinking fund, and that this surplus be reduced in such a manner as to afford the greatest relief to the greatest num ber. There are manv articles not produced at home but which enter largely into general consumption, through articles which are manu factured at home, such as medicines compounded, etc., etc., from which very little revenue is derived, but which enter into general use. All such articles I recommend to be placed on the “free list.” Should a future reduction prove advisable I would then recommend that it be made upon those articles which can best bear it, without disturbing home production or reducing the wages of American labor. I have not entered into figures because to do so would be to repeat what will be laid before you in the report of the Secretary of the Treas ury. The present laws for collect ing the revenue pay the collectors of customs small salaries, but pro vide for moiety shares in all seiz ures, which at the principal ports of entry particularly, raise the com pensation ot these officials to a large sum. It has always seemed to me as if this system must, at limes, work perniciously. It holds out an inducement to dishonest men, should such get possession of these offices, to be lax in their scrutiny of goods enterred in order to enable them fi nally to make large seizures. Your attention is respectfully invited to this subject. SrECIE PAYMENTS. Continued fluctuations in the val ue of gold as compared with the national currency has a most dam aging effect upon the increase and development of the country—in keeping up prices of all articles necessary in every day life. It fos ters a spirit of gambling prejudieal alike to national morals and the national finances. It' the question can be met with bow to give a fix ed vunlue to our currency, that val ue constantly and uniformly ap proaching par with specie—a very desirable object will be gained. * * * * * * * BUYING, Ur THE WESTERN UNION. Especially do I reecoinend favor able consideration of the plan for uniting the telegraphic system of the United States with the post al system. It is believed that by such a couse the cost of telegraph ing could be much reduced and the service as well, if not better render ed. It would secure the further advantage of extending the tele graph through points of the coun try where private enterprise will not construct it. Commerce, trade, and above all, the effort to bring a people widety seperated into a com munity of interest are always bene fitted by a rapid intercommunica tion. Education, the ground work of republican institutions, is encour aged by increasing the facilities to gather speedy news from all parts of the country. The desire to reap the benefits of such improvements will stimulate education. I refer you to the report of the Postmaster General for full details of the ope rations of last year, and for com paraave statements of results with former years. ***** * * THE ICU KLUX. There lias been a painful duty im posed upon the Executive branch of the government in the execution of the act of Congress, approved April 20, 1871, and commonly kuovvn as the Ku-klux law, in a por tion of the State of South Carolina. The necessity of the course pursued will be demonstrated by the report of the committee to investigate Southern outrages. Under the pro visions of the above act, I issued a proclamation calling the attention of the people of the United States to the same and declaring my re luctance to exercise any of the ex traordinary powers thereby confer red upon me, except in case of im perative duty ; but making known my purpose to exercise such pow ers whenever it should become nec essary to do so, tor the purpose of securing to all citizens of the Uni> ted States the peaceful enjoyment of their rights, guaranteed to them by the constitution and the laws. After the passage ot this law, in formation was received from time to time that combinations of the character referred to in this law existed, and were powerful in many parts of the Southern States, partic ularly in certain counties in the State of South Carolina. Careful investigation was made, and it was ascertained that in nine counties of that State such combinations were active and powerful—embracing a large portion of the citizens—to control the local authorities and hav ing among other things the object of depriving the emancipated class of the substantial benefits of free dom and of preventing the free po litical action of those citizens who did not sympathize with their own views. Among their operations were frequent scourgings and occa sional assassinations, generally per petrated at night by disguised poi sons —the victims in almost all cases being citizens of different political sentiments from their own, or freed persons who had shown a dbposi tion to claim equal rights with oth er citizens. Thousands of inoffen sive and well disposed citizens were the sufferers by this lawless violence. Thereupon on the 12th of Octo ber, 1871, a proclamation was issued in terms of the law, calling upon the members of those combinations to disperse within five days and to do liver to the marshal or military of ficers of the United States all arms, ammunitions, uniforms, disguises and other means and implements used by them for carrying outtheir unlawful purposes. This warning not having been heed ed, on the l7thof October another proclamation was issued, suspend ing the privileges of the writ of ha beas cornv.t in niue counties in that Slate. Direction was given that within the counties so designated persons supposed, upon credible in formation, to be members of such unlawful combinations should he ar rested by the military forces of the United States and delivered to the Marshal to be dealt with according to law. In two of said connties (York and Spartanburg) many ar rests have been made. At the last account the number of persons so arrested was one hundred and sixty eight. Several hundred whose criminality was ascertained to be of an inferior degree were released for the present. These have generally made confession of their guilt. Great caution has been exercised in making these arrests, and not withstanding the large number, it is believed that no innocent person is now in custody. The prisoners will be held for regular trial in the judicial tribunals of the United States. As ioon as it appeared that the authorities of the United Slates were about to take vigorous meas ures to enforce the law, many per sons absconded, and there is good ground for supposing that all of such persons have violated the law. A full report of what has been done under this law, will be submitted to Congress by tlie Attorney General. * * * * * * * THE MORMONS. In Utah there still remains a rem nant of barbarism repugnant to civ ilization, to decency and to the laws of the United States. Efficient of ficers however, have been found who are willing to perforin their du ty in a spirit of equity and with a due sense of sustaining the majes ty of the law. Neither polygamy nor any other violation of existing statutes will be permitted within the territory of the United States. It is not with the religion of self styled saints that we are now deal ing, but with their practices. They will be protected in the worship of God according to the dictates of their conscience ; but they will not be permitted to violate the laws under the cloak of religion. It may be advisable for Congress to consider what, in tlie execution of the laws against polygamy, is to be the status of plural wives and their offspring. The propriety of Con gress passing an enabling act au thorizing the territorial legislature of Utah to legitimate all children born prior to a time fixed in the act might be justified by its hu manity to these innocent children. This is a suggestion only, and not a reconunen dation. ***** * * REMOVAL OF DISABILITIES. More than six years having elapsed since the last hostile gun was fired between the armies then arrayed against each other —one for the perpetuation and the other for the destruction of the Union, it may be well considered whether it is not now that the disability im posed by the fourteenth amendment should be released. That amend ment docs not include the ballot, but only imposes the inability to hold offices upon certain classes.— When the purity of the ballot is secure majorities are suig to elect officers reflecting the views of the majority. I don’t see the advan tage or propriety of excluding men from office merely because they were, before the rebellion, of stand ing and character sufficient to be elected to positions requiring them to take an oath to support the Con stitution, and admitting to eligibil ity those entertaining precisely the same views, but of less standing in their communities. It may be said that tlie former violated an oath, while the latter did not. The latter did not have it in his power to do so. If they had taken that oath, it cannot be doubted they would have broken it, as did the former class. If there are any great criminals distinguish ed above all others for the part they took in opposition to the Govern ment, they might, in the judgment of Congress, be excluded from such an amnesty. This subject is sub mitted for your careful eonsidera tion. THE SOUTH IN A BAD FIX. The condition of the Southern States is unhappily not such as all true patriotic citizens would like to see. Local ostracism for opinions sake —personal violence or threats towards persons entertaining politi cal views opposed to those enter tained by the majority of the old citizens, prevents emigration and the flow of much needed capital in to the States lately in rebellion. It will be a happy condition of the country when the old citizens of these States will take an interest in public affairs—promulgate ideas honestly entertained—vote for men representing these views, and toler ate the same freedom of expression and ballot in those entertaining dif ferent political convictions. ******* I have thus hastily summed up the operations of the Government during the last year and made such sug eslions as occur to me to be proper for such consideration. I submit them with confidence that combined action will be wise, states manlike and in the best interest of the country. [Signed,] U. S. Grant.
