DemufTiitic Mass meeUiig; JSdUot'i Appeal! / Recognizing in the Appeal a n/tautich supporter of true Democrat ic doctrine and a firm friend of the people, we beg to say through 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 l>e the entering wedge that will break down our organization and put us adrift upon uncertain seas We therefore ask that all lovers ol peace and good order meet at Guth 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. Ouit Agent in Early is Capt. K. W. Davis; in Calhoun, Col. J. J. Beck ; in Miller, lion. J. A. Bush, and in Clay, J. L. Sanders. We have so many friends iti these coun ties that we feel confident of a “ huge ” increase of subscription in each ere many weeks roll around. Ben Butler feels as if he has been kicked by a forty-jackass power mud machine and dosen’t seem to like it a bit. Wo have the pleasure of taking by the hand, on last Tuesday, the Hon. Irvin J.

Tack ett on Monday evening, and shall ]o:ur hold the reunion in pleasent Lection. E. Handsome Gronby, Esq., has become associate editor and propri etor of the Cuthbcrt Appeal.— Al~ bany News. “ Handsome,” oh ! And who told you so, and where’s the evidence ? You’re a nice judge of beauty, ain’t you? Tho Barnes House of Albany says you run on your beauty for over a year in payment of your board bill, Cary ! Sneeze again, will you? Homicide at Leesburg.— A spe cial dispatch to the Macon Tele graph on the lOth says a difficulty occurcd at Leesburg today, between W. 11. Mims and an old gentleman /named Lee, who lives in Atlanta Mfct plants in Lee county, during Mims kicked Lee, alleging the latter had insulted his wife. Shortly afterwards, Edward Lee, a son of the old gentleman, met Mims and shot him four limes,Jailing him almost instantly. Lee was arrested and lodged in jail. The public ap pear to sympathise with Lee. JgP” The following lines we most respectfully dedicate to Miss “ Ida ’’—Dear Miss “Ida ” —my dear Miss “ Ida”—Oh ! hon ey, lovely sugar pink Miss “ Ida -—we hope we’ll be able to see you once more, and it may be you will resume your subscription to the Ap peal—and the next time not coins in on the “dead beat ’ r.oi Wlately line. We are yet hopeful that the Appeal will continue to exist, and that white man supremacy will yet leign, and that \vc shall never want you. Your choice is too well known. You have taken the choice of your “ daddy,” and we only hope you may change your skin, accord ing to your liking. H one wants and is determined to be a nigger, we say “So mote it be.” "W e on Iv sympathize with our Fort Gaines friends, should the “ stock ” in crease. This i* the delicate way it is put by a journal t>f a neighboring city: Heads of families would be very much obliged to the young men who c<> about at night singing for drinkl if they would call before bed time. It is rather inconvenient to get ugjftt midnight, or after, and in u ;W about in the pantry for spir iitvfjftt to speak of the risk of break ig!g the wuies on the shelves. The Albany News —the property of whom no one knows —is again 01; the market, and can be bought t<>y a few drinks of lager, a bee-gum Jf. uji'k punch or anything that s c.h‘ up. Call early, or it may take a flight of —well, we'd regret to sav. The Election Law*. The Rome Courier truthfully says the object of elections is to ex press popular choice in the selec tion of men for oflice. To accom plish this there should be thrown [ around the ballot box every possi | ble safeguard against its perversion. It should be kept free from all cor ruption and from all prositution by the unscrupulous. This has ever been the object ol all good men. It is the object of our Re publican form of government. It is upon the purity of the ballot box that tho safety of the liberties of people rest. And yet there are thousands of instances where the popular will has been overthrown and defeated through illegal vot ing. How is this evil to be corrected? It cannot be done under our pres ent system of election laws. Ihe only requisite for a man to cast his vote is to have resided in the State and comity a certain period and to have paid up all his taxes. There is no other requirement—all of which is light so far as it goes. — But the difficulty has been to keep illegal voters from casting their bal lots. Non tax payers often vote without detection, and they are more numerous now than they were before’the negro was clothed with the elective franchise, and in almost every general election there are il legal votes cast, and there are no means by which such voting can be prevented under our present laws. What Is needed is a rigid registra tion law, which ought to be enacted by the next Legislature of Georgia. That law ought to require every vo ter to register and vote at his own precinct, after having paid the re quired taxes, as now demanded. — A receipt for the same should be presented upon registering, and without which no one should be al lowed to register. An alphabetical list of the registered voters should then be made out tor the use of the managers of elections at every pre cinct. \\ ith such a law upon our statute books, the purity of the ballot box would be preserved and illegal vot ing prevented, and the popular will correctly expressed. We should have no repeating from one ballot box to another. A man registers upon the presentation of his tax re ceipt, and when he votes at his precinct, where the law should re quire him to cast his ballot, his name will be checked as having so voted upon the registry list, and then all chance for illegal voting will be absolutely prevented and the ballot box made what it should be —a reflex of the popular will. We throw out the foregoing sug gestion for the attention of the peo ple as the surest method of securing fair elections. We hope that the press may agree with us and join in the advocacy of the reform by the next Legislature. It is a reform greatly needed in these days of po litical corruption ; and it becomes more necessary as population be comes more dense. We shall have more to say on this subject from time to time, and will discuss it more at large as the sitting of the General Assembly ap proaches. If our memory serves us correct ly, we predicted, that Captain Turn I'm of Randolph was preparing the way for Whitely to carry that coun ty, and sure enough tlie same sut frage Klingers who elected the said Tuinlin in October last marched up with their Y liitely tickets in the re cent election and beat out the dem ocrats again. If Tumlin really has any love for democracy he has a queer way of showing it, when he sutlers his county to be changed from democratic to Radical simply to satisfy his own ambition and love of office- The white supporters of Captan T. must feel chagrined to know that but for the encouragement and sup port given a bolter, the fair .record of old Randolph might have remain ed untarnished with radicalism. With a white population very near ly equal the colored, it is a disgrace to have allowed the Civil Rights candidate to carry the county.— Lumpkin Independent. There will now be war. The At lanta Herald sarcastically alludes to Grouby, of the Culhbert Appeal, as “G ra nby.’ ; — Sav. JSdeics That’s exactly whac the so called United States Government termed him while lie happened to hold the very honorable and much dignified(!) position of Postmaster at a certain cross roads a few miles below, and not being willing to “ dance to then music,” he was removed. That’s the way, Red Top—no more, no less. It is now a generally conceded fact that Huff or James will be our next Governor. We would be will ing to take either, and only hope the party will be able to harmonize on one or the other. A Convention of confederate Sol diers is called to organise an Asso ciation to he known as the Survi vor’s Association of Confederate Soldiers of the State of Georgia, to meet in Atlanta on the 20th of Jan uary. I Vt'iiaf Will iiiv Democra cy Do with their Victory. This question the Cincinnati : Enquirer, speaking for the Democ- I racy of the great. West, says : “The Democracy wiil have no power tin der the Federal Government any more than they have now. It re quires three branches of the iaw i making power to enact a statute. — i The Democrats will have but one. ; We are btrt the brake upon the Radical car. We can arrest corrupt \ and bad legislation, but we can not j carry through good measures. — This it is important should be un j derstood, since otherwise more will be expected of us then we ean per forin. This is, however, what we can and will do : We will appoint | Committees of Investigation into all I the Executive Departments, and | thereby expose fraud and corrup j lion, which no doubt exist, and ! which have been concealed and cov ! ered up through partisan friendship. I We will furthermore, have an lion ' est count lor President and Yice | President of the United States, in 187 t, of the Electoral vote in the House of Representatives. No State will be thrown out. This of itself is the highest importance.” The Boston Globe says there is considerable talk among men who voted with the Democrats, of the formation of a third party to be called the People’s Reform party. — They argue that the mission of the Republican parly is ended, and un less an attempt to resuscitate the Democratic organization is made, a new party must be formed, com posed oT the best men of the Re publican and Democratic parties.— The platform lias not been fully considered, but the basis will be “hard money, early resumption of specie payments, civ-l service re form, economical administration of affairs and short legislative ses sions.” The presidential oandi lates named are Sherman and Sheridan and Banks. Some oppose military men, prefering civillians. Jly S*apcß*, Sir. Dr. Bard, Atlanta’s Postmaster, continually finds himself in hot wa ter, ifs weighty position lies heavy on his head. Day before yesterday Col. Sparks went into Dr. Bard’s office for the purpose of interviewing him respect ing tho non-reception of bis New Orleans Times since last Thursday was a week. it appears that Dr. Bard made some reply to Col. Sparks’ first in quiry, which was offensive. There fore, Col Sparks bolted the door and said : “ Now, look here, you d—d old scoundrel I want my paper.” ‘-Do you think 1 have been taking your paper ?’’ asked the Governor. “Yes, I do, you d—d old rascal; don’t 1 know you of old. You are a <l—,l old thief, and 1 know it.” With this, Col. Sparks stuck him in the face two or three times with a bunch of chrysanthemums which he held in his hand, breaking them to pieces. Col. Sptarks then unbelt ed the door and started out. As he did so, he waved his finger across the Doctor’s nose and eyes, saying: “You infernal old scoundrel, my paper had better come/’ —Atlanta Her aid. - ■—* Augusta Chronicle : The follow ing paragraph appears in n recent issue of tlic St. Lous Republi can : Yesterday morning seven wagons filled with tnoveis from Clay county, Missouri, passed through Bellville en route for the State of Georgia, where they con template settling.” This paragraph should be read by those who are so anxious to desert Georgia for the fertile lands and white labor of the West. These will find that the West is a paradise only to those who don’t live there. There is plenty of good land in Georgia, prices are reasonable, and the labor system is good egough to make fa mous crops of sugar, of rice, and of cotton. We are glad to see that the advantages of our soil and cli mate are attracting imigrunts from beyond the Mississippi, and we cor dially welcome them to Georgia.— We need all who will come. \Ye can give them good government, low taxes, fertile lands and a healthy climate. Georgia has room for a million new settlers, and the honest and industrious immigrant cannot tail of success. One of the cleverest and best hearted young men ever known to this country, Singleton Lucas, died at his residence in Early county last week. He was noble, kind and generous to a fault. His father is one of the most respected and wealthiest citizens of Athens, where “ Sing’s ” remains were sent lor in terment. Belle Boyd. —There are so many claimants to the name of this hero ine of the war, that it is hard to place her, bat we are informed by a gentleman, who assures us of the correctness of his statement, that the original Bell Boyd now lives in Utica, New Aork, where she is \ leading a quiet, unostentatious life, as the wile of Colonel llammond, ! late a Colonel of cavalry in the Coi.- j federate array, but now engaged as a commercial traveler for a New York tea house. She occasionally gives readings, recitations and ex hibitions on the piano, and is much respected and beloved for her amia ble disposition and retiring deport ment. ifhe does not carry a revol ver, and has laid her derringer one side, and her husband is no more afraid of her when out late at night than the ordinary run of men. | The Albany Central city is “on it ! again”—bragging of “largest circu lation”— when we’ll wager a “lice | purp” that fifty-two issues of it could easily be carried in a common j s 1 tail. Written on visiting the church yard at Georgetown on the IGth of November, where during the May term of the Court the lament ed Isaac Hilt, was buried. BY HERBERT FIELDER. When we came to Court, only six months ago, In that cottage there, but a roil or so, Two warm hearts were wedded, where young loves meet All aglow with hope, in the morn ol life beat;, No rude spade had broken the earth just here. No sigh heaved the young wife’s heart over there ; The lamb-iike child, with blissful sport was seen, Happy and gleesorae as May’s brightest queen, She dreamed not death was so near his door, The sire she loved was so near the . other shore. We adjourned. From the Court with solemn tread, We came where they had made his lowly bed; And -lowered him down to the stern solid bass The embrace of clay and the metalic case. Where wife's gentle baud can't smooth the pillow, He heeds not, hears not the roar of the bil low, Where the moon's pale beams no longer en lighten, And twinkling stars, are powerless to bright en, The music of harp in fair maiden’s hand, And the roar of brass in the jubilant band, Nor dread thunders of the artillery of Jove Give sweeter sleep, or disturb bis repose. Six months our triend has been beyond the stream, The narrow stream, that from this living dream, Divides the shore—boundless, eternal shore— Where he dreams not, whence returns never more. This fence that encloses the mortal remains, The carpenter put here with saw and planes, This mound that rounds up from foot to the head Would rise as gracefully o'er unhonored dead. This vase of sweet flowers—God bless the flowers, That devotion laid here in soft, stilly hours, The heart that [tines for the cold heart sleep ing, Tire wife, that still for the noble is weeping ; Affection twined this garland above him, Here’s a tribute dear to.all who love him. We bid you adieu, friend ; God grant your sleep May be sweet on the shore where the blest ne’er weep ; We’ll meet you again Where death will not sever . The ties immortal that binds friends forever. The .\egro as a Thiel*. We are filled with toleration of the faults of the negro, says the At | lanta Herald. In our minds, he has rough kindly virtues that atone for many a peccadillo, and we have nothing but the best of feelings for him. But he has one habit that we must complain of, ttnd that is his ineve teratc stealing. His honesty, we must confess, ts far below the aver age, and acute must be that phrenol ogist who discovers upon his head any token of this virtue. That Cut fie is a thief unparalelled, may be explained but not excused, on the ground that as a rule, he is needy, shiftless and nomadic. In nine case out of ton he is an irresponsible vag abond, careless of his reputation, but zealous of his stomach ; with no settled convictions of right or wrong, picking up what he can lay his hands upon, an apple here, a hen there, a pig from tins place, and a bed quilt from that, his restraint bounded only by the chances of de tection. This habit of our colored friends is becoming positively an unbearable evil. It is a drawback on stock raising, that threatens to thorough ly estop this business. Our planters might stand pilfering, but regularly organized, constantly conducted thievery is another thing. We are credibly informed that in some of the negro counties a farmer no soon er buys a lot of hogs, than every ne* gro in the neighborhood scrapes out his frying pan and at once regales his belly with promised ham and sausages. There is no scaring them away. One negro may be shot for stealing hogs, and while the white" people are congregated around his corpse; another colored brother will draw his deft knife against a porker’s throat and bear him off’ in triumph. We publish elsewhere a letter on the subject from a large ; Enter in Southwest Georgia, who complains that this evil is simply intolerable, and gives some interesting statistics on the subject. What lie says no doubt is true. There is hardly a question but that the negro vaga bond has more to do with our mak ing “The great West our smoke house” than any’ or all causes com bined. There are some honest negroes, and some who possess the highest in tegrity. Many of them in the abso lute; but very few, comparative speaking. As the race grows older in freedom, and riper in learning, it will doubtless grew better. At least if it persists in stealing, it will then refine its thievery, and trans fer its operations from the hen-house, and pig-sty, to the nobler branches of the business, which may be enu merated under the heads of swin dling, fogery, and bank-cracking. In the meantime, tho Legislature should look into this matter, and prescribe some severer remedies for this sort of larceny than the law now provides. It is an evil that is sorely pressing our planting friends, and a prompt remedy should be applied. Two remarkable facts are that the Southern Sates only raised two-thirds as much cotton as India, and that Massachusetts is Homo cratic, whilst Randolph County is Radical. Don’t make any prophe cies after this, for as a distinguish ed and erudite philosopher once re marked in the presence of several witnesses, “there’s no telling which way a blind steer will ruli.’ , New Advertisements.

SECOND WEES, To the Honorable Judge and Offi cers of the Superior Court of Randolph County : We, the Grand Jurors, chosen and sworn for the second week of the November Term Superior eourt. Randolph county, beg leavt to make the following General Presentments Our committee to whom was referred the examination of the public records, reported as follows: Upon examination of the Ordinary's book?, we find them kept in a very creditable and correct manner, which reflects much credit upon Judge Gormley, as a faithful and effi cient officer. We find the Clerks Books neatly and cor rectly kept, an l all hi? papers and records, so far as we could judge, iti perfect order aud system. Mr. P.ukerson has been com mended so frequently by former Grand Ju ries for his faithfulness and efficiency, that we feel that vee but endorse the sentiment of our county, in saying that be richly merited all these compliments, and we take great pleasure iu r. iterating what Jude Kiddoo, so truthfully said in his charge to our body, ‘•that a better clerk could not be found in this circuit.’’ We find the books of the Sheriff, and eve rything pertainining to his office, in ‘ apple pie" order, and we can truthfully assert, that he is faithful, to a fault, in the performance of his duties. We *<md our Treasurer's books and papers all correct, utnl in perfect order, and as near as can be approximated, the condition of cur county finances is as follows : Amount on hand to date.... $2858 74 Amount of idub ted ness... 1753 53 Balance on band. sllOs 21 We cannot resist the opportunity to pay another deserving compliment to our worthy Treasurer, Mr. Thomas Coleman. He is faithful, over jealous of our county’s finances, and scrupulously honest, and may he be spared long, to enjoy the well in anted es teem and confidence of his fellow citizens. We are glad to find Uncle Green our effi cient Tax Collector at bis post, receiving taxes and issuing executions against all de faulters. His books are in good order and neatly and correctly kept, and we do espe cially commend him for his faithful perfor mance of duly. Upon the whole we chal lenge any county to show a more competent and honest set Of officers. We recommend that the county safe be re moved to the Clerks office. We find the Court House and Jail iu good repair. The Jail is neatly kept, and prison ers well cared lor, and we commend “Uncle Barrel Stevens” for bis faith fulnes and strict attention to his duties. We do most especially recommend that our Representative use every endeavor to procure the passsge of a bill changing the time ot holding the Superior Court of this county, from the Ist Monday in May and November, to the 3d Monday in January and July. We have thoroughly investigated the con dition of the Bainbridge and Blakely road, reported in bad condition by the Grand Ju ry of last week, and we are gratified to state that, they are in the most excellent condition. We recommend that the Ordinary repair tint bride known as the Ilay bridge, on the Cuth bert and Albany road, al.-o the bridges at Millers chappel. across the stream and slough on the lower Albany road. These bridges are reported in a very unsafe condition, and the Ordinary should attend to the matter at once* We recommend that the county Treasurer pay to the county Board of Education, the old school fund, amounting to eight hundred dollars, and that the county Board of Educa tion use said fund iti payment of Teachers of public schools for the year 1871. A majority of the Jury concur in the rec ommendation of the last week's Grand Jury In reference to compensating W. F. Davis former sheriff, for extra services rendered, to the amount of S2OO per annum for three years, to be applied to liquid ating the in debtedness of E. 3. Brooks, bis deputy, to the county. ' In view of the met that till expenses incur red by reason of the convicts known as the chain-gang, are paid by the county, except a salary of S4O per month, which is paid to an overseer or superintendent of said coav.cts by the city of Cuthbert, we recommend that Judge Gormley, the ordinary, change his contract with said city so as to reqnire all public roads leadieg from Cuthbert to be worked for a distance not to exceed 2 1-2 miles, and should sai l city refuse to enter in to said contract, that the Ordinary make such disposition of said convicts as he in his judgement may deem best for the interest of the county. It is very mortifying to know that we. yet have parties iti our midst who are guilty of purchasing cotton in the seed, that they have every reason to know is stolen property.— These parties are certainly devoid of all re spect and principle, or they would not thus license these thieves to prey upon our hon est toil. W r e are sorry to acknowledge that we have such men living among us, howev er, we are constrained to appeal to their conscience to stop at once, this low, mean. pernicious practice, and thus put a slop to such robbery. We heartily concur in the recommendation of last week's grand Jury in the matter of re questing our representative to procure the passage ol a law requiring each and every voter to deposit his ballot in the district in which he lives. To his Honor. Judge W. D. Ividdoo, for the ability with which he presides over this Court, and the impartial manner with which he administers the law, we cannot reflect the credit due to his Honor. Of Col. Flewcllen, our Solicitor General, we.have reasons to boast of having in him, an office of extraordinary ability, a thorough and accomplished gentleman, and we feel deeply indebted to him for his marked cour tesy in every instance to our body. - To our Bailiff, W. D. Cox, we extend our hearty thanks, and shall ever remember his faithfulness and courtesy to this Jury. We recommend that these General Pre sentments be published in the Cuthbert Ap peal, and Cuthbert Messenger. Ciias. Stanih.ey. Foreman. Jno. F Riddoo, Benj J. Jackson, Jas. M.
