THE APPEAL. JL —1 i- JJ"‘L I !_• .I=B j}P, SAWTELL. | E. H. GROUBY, ‘ * EDITOItS AND PROmiETOKS. ) CUTHBERT: STRIDAY, Nov. 13, 1874, /democratic Mass Meeting Editors Appeal : Recognizing in the Appeal a staunch supporter of true Democrat ic doctrine and a firm friend of the people, we beg to say fhiongh your columns that we consider the late call of the Executive Committee as appeared in the last Messenger a gross innovation upon the establish ed customs of our party, and will be the entering wedge that will break down our organization and put us adrift upon uncertain seas. We therefore ask that all lovers oi and good order meet at Cuth bert on SATURDAY, the 21st Inst., to talk over our troubles and coun sel together for safety and success and to discuss in a spirit of har mony the plan proposed by the Com mittee, and devise some means in keeping with the past record of our party as will secure us success. * Many Democrats. The Quitman Reporter states that the last words of Captain jjpmes 11. Hunter, whose death in fill at place we have already noted, were these: Tell the boys, for me not to do anything rash ; be calm ; let the law take its course; get them to remem ber that the Scriptures say, ‘ Ven geance is mine; I will recompense, sailh the Lord.’ ” A Contemporary says: A news paper and a newspaper editor that 'people don’t talk about and some times abuse arc rather poor con cerns The men and business that an editor sometimes feel it a duty to defend at a risk of making ene mies of another class, are olten the very first to show ingratitude. He who expects to receive much chari ty or gratitude will soon find out his mistake; but he should go ahead and say and do what he conscien tiously thinks right. Get Out.— We see that the Rad icals—those fellows who ha.e al ways expressed so much love for the “ oppressed ” ard “ outraged ” negro of the South —is now direct ing their energies to get the" bless td creatures ” out of the country, and are shipping them by the cargo to Africa— free of charge, —to colo nize them. They have learned the impossibility of using them, and now seek to rid the country of their presence. The negroes, as well as whites, are awakening to the true situation, and are discarding those fellows who have been making tools of them for years past. No “ re turn tickets ” are given emigrants to Africa. Stop that Nonsense.— We learn that the Democratic negroes of > Stewart county met at the residence ■of Mnj. Walton, member elect to the Legislature from that county, <r>n Saturday night last, and with 15 Idle-, cow bells, tin pans, etc., gave the Major a regular “ shindig” •erenade. After marching around the Major’s residence a few times, they called for him to make them a speech, when a sensible, sound talk was made by the worthy member. The negroes received his words of counsel kindly, and frequently in terrupted him with demonstrations of applause. At the conclusion of the remarks by Maj. Walton, the negroes gave three cheers for Democracy , which was responded to with a spirit that made the country ring for miles around. After this they proposed three groans for Cuthbert and JRan dolph county. ■)Now we object to being thus tan- by the Democratic negroes K)f Stewart, and insist that Major ■Walton guard against a repetition 8 of such an exposure in the future. ■Old Stewart has gone radical in for ■uer elections, which should qualify ■her for our sympathies. We think, things will change, and that we will again be enabled to cheer another Democratic victory. t The Junior of this concern would have it most distinctly un derstood that “ Ben ” Russell, of the Bainbridge Democrat, is enti tled to more credit for Slippery Dick Whiteley’s defeat than any other man in this District, lie has done more , and better work than any other man in our midst. lie has the brain, intellect and inde pendence, to show up all such rips Whiulcy has had his day, but they are past and numbered, and no oue is more entitled to the credit of hhs "fling “ up the spout,” than sseU. Long shall we remenjb™ Wad if the 2d Congressional fails to do so, it will prove to its better instincts. LI Is it Prudent i Below we publish the proceed ing* of the Executive Committee, held in Cuthbert on the 2d lußt., with onr views upon the same.—- The Committee adopted the follow ing : Resolved, That the Democratic party select, by ballot, their candi dates, for the respective county of fices, on Saturday , the 28 Ih inst., and that in order to secure a free, full, and impartial ballot, the polls will be opened at the Court House, and at the places of holding Justice Courts in the respective districts, under the law governing the State election ; that the managers meet in Cnthbert, on Monday the 30th inst., and consolidate the returns, and the person having the Ingest number of votes shall be declared the nominees of the party for the office for which they may have been voted. Geo. XV. Mullins, Chairman. With all due 'respect for the opinions of those who may differ with us, we enter our objections to the reviving of this mode of making nominations, which has been thor oughly tested, not alone in Ran dolph but other counties, and aban doned as wholly impracticable. It has a tendency to centralize power in the hands of a few ; offers in duccments to trickery and wire working ; the formation of rings in one part of the county to thwart and defeat the wishes of those in another, all of which would lead to dissatisfaction and tend to weaken our party strength which should be united just upon the heels of an election wherein our county polled a Radical majority. By in stituting this mode of making nom inations it may and doubtless will re sult in a large majority being con trolled by a very small minority , which is not the wishes of the peo pie nor Democratic in principle. To illustrate : Each District in th 2 county may have a man as piring to the same position, and their respective District friends will vote for sutch aspirants. When the votes are consolidated the man liv ing in the most populous Districts will be the nominee, when individ ually he may be the most objection able to the voters of the county. — This illustration may be analogous to every office to be filled in Janua ry next. Admit it, and what will be the results ? The town of Cuth bert supplemented with a few votes from the country can appoint the of ficers of the county. Is this right —is it Democratic—thus to debar those of our citizens from an equal voice in the selection of county of ficers simply because they live in a sparcely settled District, or lack, perchance but three votes of meas uring arms with the more favored. It may be claimed that some of our objections to making nomina tions, viva ballote, may be urged against the convention and dele gate system. We admit that to be true, but to a limited extent. Yet in a convention the wishes of the people t\s well as claims of aspirants can be more easily discussed and understood, than otherwise. Every plan for making nominations has been thoroughly and satislaotorily tested, and the one adapted by the Executive Committee has long since been abandoned —except in muni cipal nominations—and the Con ventional system settled upon.— Why the Committee has seen fit to make this innovation upou party usages and customs, wo will not discuss. We simply enter our pro test, and regret the reccomiuenda tion of such a defunct and "played out” policy. All who could, would or intend hiding the decision of a majority would ratify the actions of a Convention as readily as any plan that could be devised. We have conversed freely with the people, of both factions—(he it remembered the breach made in our party has not been healed) — and are convinced that a general dissatisfaction pervades the minds of our citizens this attempt to change our party usage in making nomination. If our people, howev er, after discussing the merits of the plana proposed, pro and con, on the 21st. decide to make the nomi nations that way, we will submit, and abide the decisions of the peo ple. If on the contrary the voice of the people is fora convention, and desire the election of delegates from the respective districts—by ballot—we think it is the duty of all good citizens to acquiesce, and sup port the candidates brought for ward. "*♦ ■ The citizeus of Union Point, Ga., on Sunday last, were under arms to resist the threats of the negroes to release some prisoners from custody. Considerable excitement prevailed throughout the day, but a collision was prevented. Some bushwhack ing was practiced by the negroes, but without serious result. At la test accounts quiet had been re stored. 11. M. Turner, in a speech in Valdosta last week, said that if the ►Radical ticket was defeated in Georgia this year fifty thousand, ne groes would go to Florida. Good bye sweetheart. W rong, We have heard it frequently pro claimed upo.l our streets that it mattered not how or who were nom inated for county offices, if “ certain fellows were not nominated there would be another split in our party in January.” This is wrong. The result of the recent Congressional election in our county should ce ment the Democratic party as stroDg as the rocks of Gibralter, and cause the party to forever repudi ate sueh folly. Every white man,, with white men’s principles, should feel the shame of Whiteley’o suc cess over that of Smith’s, and should seek to make amends. If a dozen or less men are to proclaim them selves dictators—rulers—of our pub lic affairs, and are so lost to party affiliation and principles, as to "rule or ruin,” and can impose themselves upon the confidence of the unsus pecting, our county is irredeema bly Radicalized, and is, or will be a fit abode of carpetbaggers, scala wags and renegades from other and more favored localities. Let not this be the fate of old Randolph.— Let the people proclaim by their ac tions that they are above such im putations, and that we can and will join in the van, and forever repudi ate Radical rulo and social equality in Southwestern Georgia. We all have friends we would re joice to see placed in positions of honor and trust, but our personal preferences should siuk into utter insignificance when compared to the perpetuation of Democratic principles. Let it not be said that by our own folly or weakness, we indirectly aided in the election of a negro or scalawag to office from this county. George Woodward, a convict in the eastern (Pennsylvania) peniten tiary was born without hands. lie is in for buying stolen horses. lie writes with ease, useing his feet instead of his hands. He shaves himself in the same way, and writes a good "hand,” or as we may say "foot.” The great democratic States of this country are Ohio, Indiana Mis souri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas and Georgia. Their representation in Congress is more than four fifths on the right side. They are not on ly’ democratic, but they are thor oughly determined on having an ad equate amount of currency furnish ed by the federal government. They constitute the heart of the dem ocratic strength in the next house. Cincinnati Enquirer. Felton Elected. —ln the Sev enth district the race for Congress was between Col Dabney and Dr. Felton, the former the nominee of the party and the latter an inde pendent. Dr. Felton is elected by 85 majority. The Dr is said to be a good democrat and an able man, and while we regret the defeat of a nominee, no doubt l)r. Felton will make a faithful democratic member. Beast Butler in one of his cam paign speeches endeavored, with characteristic modesty, to make his candidacy for Congress a national is sue: “1 am the only man who can break the spirit of the South; and if a Democratic triumph in Connecti cut has so greatly elated the rebels, what will they say if I am beaten?” They say “ deliver up our spoons, you miserable old reptile, and go to nation.” The Tennessee Legislature.— The Nashville Banner states that there will be only ten Republicans in the next Legislature, eight in the House and two in the Senate. There is uot a single Republican elected from the Middle Division of the State, and only one, in Carroll county, from West Tennessee. An invitation at any time to the little Republican squad to go out and take a drink, would leave the body a regular Democratic caucus. What has become of Radicalism in Tennessee? As soon as the election was over in Louisiana, the announcement came that the sale of the monitors at the New Orleans had been ac cepted by the Navy Department at Washington, and they were order ed to be turned over to their pur chasers. The Eufaula Neics of Thursday gives the following as the results of the bloody riot in its city on the day of the election : “ It is estimated that eighty negroes were wounded, and nine killed, in the riot that oc curred here last Tuesday. The ten white men wounded at that time, are in a better condition than was at first reported. The mild weather is hatching out the grasshopper eggs at the West, and the fields swarm with the young insects. The farmers exult in the thought that winter will kill them and they will be free from the pest next season. Col. G. A. Miller, formerly editor of the Columbus Sun, has taken the place on the Macon Star vacated by Prof. Browne of the University. Wo wonder if the President, when he issued his proclamation, thought the thanksgiving turkey would be a democratic rooster? The colored people arc all coming over to their old and well tried friends, the democrats, who are af ter all the only safe aud steadfast counselors of the black man-. The Cleveland Herald (Rad.,), puts it thus : “Another dam disaster jn Massachusetts. See election re turns*” Yo Revolution. The St. Louis Republican thinks that 3 recent editorial in Grant’s New York organ—the Republic— furnishes reason for the belief that an attempt will be made to cheat the Democrats out of the legiti mate fruits of their victories. The Republican believes that the plain will take shape in a refusal to al low the Democratic members to take their seat 9in the next Con gress : that there will be contest ing delegations from many of the States ; that the Clerk will refuse ' to euroll the names of these mem bers whose seats are disputed ; that a Republican organization will thus be secured and a Republican ma jority be created by the admission of all the contestants ; that Con gress will be over-awed by four or five regiments of infantry, and a dozen butteries of artilery. It de clares that things look very much as if the Radical leaders were ar ranging for a coup d’etat in Wash ington on the in De cember, 1875. This is all Isosh. The Radical party is irredeemably dead. It will; never be able to command any power or influence again. A few short months and it will be hard to fiud a man so depraved and lost to shame as to acknowledge that he was ever iu gympaty with that par ty- The Allegany county (N. Y .)

To the Honorable Judge and Offi cers of the Superior Court of Randolph County : We, the Grand Jurors, chosen aud sworn for the first week, November Term, 1874. make the following Presentments and Re commendations :] After careful and diliigent enquiries and examination into the interest ot the county and its people as required by bis Honor, the Judge, we fiud, Our committee to whom was referred the condition of the Public Buildings, report that the Court House is in good condition and no repairs are necessary, and the Jail is mre and in good couditiou, The food for Prisoners we find good and wholesome, and administered in sufficient quantity, and Uncle Burrell Stevens is to be eomiflended for the faithful manner in which he discharges his duties as keeper. Our re port from the same committee found the Prisoners well satisfied with their treatment, and contented as well as eould be under the circumstances. The committee on the Ordinary's Books re port them properly kept and as tar as they could ascertain under such a cursory exami nation as it was possible for them to give un der the circumstances, correct in every par ticular, aud we commend Judge Gormley for the general condition of his office and bis books. The Clerk’s Books our committee report them neatly and properly kept ; his Books all well kept up, everything now in his office much better arranged than formerly, he now having the proper facilities lor keeping his papers and Court documents in order, so that he can find them at a moment’s notice. We especially commend our Clerk for bis dilligenee and faithful attention to bis du ties. The Clerk makes some complaint that from the present situation of the county safe in the Sheriffs office, he cannot have that ac cess to it that is necessary for the proper keeping of tbc books and papers that he is required by law to keep in it, there being on ly two-keys to the Sheriff’s office, and fre q-uently they are both out of the way. We therefore recommend that the safe be re moved to the east bull of the Court house, where it will be accessible to all the officers of the Court ut any time. We have examined the books of Thomas Coleman, County Treasurer, andSnd amount due the county for taxes for 1373, $2,640 Received of taxes lor 1374, 300 Making a total of $3 440 Expended since May 4th, including that day, $3,549 40 I’aid out since November 4th, 113 66 The true indebtedness of the county can not be ascertained, as many orders on the Treasurer are traded away and not recorded in the Treasurer's office, but as near as can be ascertained the amount is $1,953 55. \Ve find vouchers for all moneys paid out by the Treasurer, and all correct. We espe cially commend him for his faithfulness as a county officer. Mr. Thos. A. Coleman, the Chairman of the County Board of School Commissieners. appeared before our body, but stated that it was impossible for him to make a report, as a great many of the teachers had not reported as to the number of scholars taught. He re ports the first installment ot the School Fund now on baud at $2,490 45. There are 3,400 children in the county entitled to the benefit of this Fund. Mr. Coleman also stated that he did not think it possible to make a full report before January next. Our committee to whom was referred the duty of examining the Dockets of the Magis trates. Notaries Public and Ex Officio Jus tices of the Pta:e, report that the Civil Dock et of C. W. Jones, Notary Public Ex, Officio Justice of the Peace, neatly and properly kept —the costs all itemized. The Docket of J. A. Moreland of the 10th District all correct, and costs itemized as the law requires. J. B. Clay’s Docket of the 6th district was abo properly and neatly kept. Also the Docket of C. T. F. Garden we find correctly kept and costs itemized. These are the only duckets that have been brought before us. The rest of the Magis trates and Justices of the Peace, Ex. Officio not seeming to pay any attention to the law requiring them to present their dockets to the Grand Jury the first day of its session, and we would recommend that they should be compelled to bring them forward the next week of the court, or show cause why they did not do so. The Public Roads of the county are all re ported in good order and condition with the exceptioh of those parts ot the Blakely and Baiubridge roads immediately within the town District, which are both in bad condi. tion, being sometimes almost impassable.— The Commissioners of the District are W. B. Cox, M. C. Edwards and It. \V. Gamble. We w'ould recommend that tfte Bridge over the Pachitla, on the Albany road, receive such repairs as are necessary, it being report ed as dangerous to travel over. Also the Bridge on the Cuthbert and Eufuula Road over the I’ataula is reported as being in a bad condition. This Bridge is known as Haisteu’s Bridge, and should be attended to at once. We find from the General Presentments of the Grand Jury, Ist week, May term, 1374, that Capt. W. F. Davis former Sheriff - of thi g county, and E. S. Brooks, his Deputy, have received something over S6OO, of Jury Fees which was never paid into the county Treas ury, and that nearly the whole amount was collected by E. S. Brooks, Deputy Sheriff) who has since died and never accounted for to either Capt. Davis or the county, thereby making Davis responsible for the whole amount ; and believing that it lias been the practice since the term of service of Capt. Da vis to recommend extra compensation to all Sheriffs who have served since his time. We therefore unanimously recommend that an extra appropriation of $203 per annum to W. F. Davis for the three years of his term of office, to be applied to liquidating this debt due by the said E. S. Brooks, deceased. We also recommend that the Grand Jury of the second week of this term concur in this te comraendaiion. r ]lu examining th# election returns of Oeto ber 7th, 1874. our body is perfectly satisfied many persons voted who have not paid their taxes, and also some who had no right to vote, from other counties, and we would re commend that a committee of three, consist ing of A. F. Ilall II H. Mapp aud J. P. West be appointed to examine fully into the returns and report to the Grand Jury of next week—to be paid a compensation, the pay of Jurors per day. We make this recommendation believing that the best interest of the county and State demand that this illegal voting should bep it a stop to at once, whether done by black or white citizens, as on the purity of the ballot box depends the salvation of the State. We would also recommend to the next Legisla ture to pass a law requiring each voter to vote in the District of the county where he resides, believing such requirement would do much towards preventing fraud in voting. In conclusion we return our thanks to his Honor, Judge W. D. Kiddoo, for his uniform kindness and courtesy to our body, and for his charge setting forth our duties in so plain a manner. Also to Col. Flewellen, the Solicitor Gen eral, for his attention to our body, and his explanation of many points of law desired by us. And lastly to all the other officers of the Court, who have performed all duties re quired of them by us. We recommend that these General Pre sentments be published in the Cuthbert Ap peal, as usual.
