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

but without serious result. At la
test accounts quiet had been re
stored.

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.

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.

As soon as the election was over
in Louisiana, the announcement
came that the sale of the monitors

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 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

power or influence again. A few

Grand Jury Presentments.
FIRST WEEK.
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.

lieve now that all the tickets will be sold, and

certainly come off on the dav appointed.
The special object of this card is to call n
meeting of the ticket holders at Public Libra
ry Hall, on the 2t'th *f November, to make
arrangements in connection with the commit
tee appointed by the Trustees to superintend
the coi nting of the tags representing the
numbers of tickets sold. While there is no
actual necessity for the presence of ticket
holders. as under onr arrangements the inter
ests of all are equally catcd for, yet at the
same time I would greatly prefer that as
many of those interested a6can, would attend
this meeting and see each lor himself how
perfectly tair and impartial the distribution
must be.
Every arrangement has been made for the
drawing—but little more than a month re
mains lor the sale of the remainder of the
tickets, and whatever is done must be done
promptly. Tnos. E. Bramlbtte.
