Newspaper Page TextTHE APPEAL. By JAS. P. SAWIELL. fcUTHBgRY: FRIDAY, Dec. 11, 1874. - - To lly Friends. Circumstances beyond my control, forces me to announce my dissolu tion with the Appeal. I wi'l say that my connection with Mr. Sawtell lias been of the kindest character, and I most hon estly wish him, in the future, a-s in the past, the most hearty success, and the true support of true Democ racy- I hope soon to again- appear in the management of a prrper in this section, when both mj friends and enemies will bear from me. llespectfuUy, j£. 11. Grouby. The foregoing card from Mr. Grouby fully explains itself. The dissolution was consummated upon satisfactory and agreeable terms to both parties—each entertaining as hind fecP'mgs to the other in the dis solution a# in the formation of the co-partnership. The causes that led to this change in the editorial anu j ioprietory management of the Appeal, are of interest to no one save tin | allies at interest, and lienee the public have no concern in them bring again in the full and free control ot liie columns- of the Ap ia'A n, and all business appertaining t< the office, I enter upon its duties and labors with the full determina tion of devoting my whole time and atention to the interests of the Ap peal, and in the advancement and perpetuation of true Democratic principles, as well £ to advance ev ery oilier iuterest of my county and section. I hope to merit a continuance of that liberal patronage heretofore ex tended, and greatly desire to make the ArPKAL a welcome visitor to every household in Southwestern Georgia. J. P. Sawtell.

We shall not, however, in conse quence of this increase in our office expenses, advance the price of sub scription, but will continue to deliv er the Appeal at Two Dollars per annum, but will adhere strictly to our terms, which are cash in ad* vance. We cannot afford to send out our paper on a credit, and pay postage; nor do we think it will be expected of tw.

If you see a cross mark after your name your subscription has expired and u dess renewed, your paper will be discontinued. C. C. Hammock was elected Mayor of Atlanta last week with out opposition. Ouly about 700 votes were polled. Central railroad stock sold in Sa vannah Thursday at §59.50 per share, and Albany and Gulf at §27.- 50. The News reports sales of a num ber of lots of land at Albany on Tuesday Pine lands sold as $25 to SIOO per lot. The fine plantation of Judge D. A. Yason, three miles from Albany, containing 750 acres well improved, brought $3,000. It is reported that several citi zens in the neighborhood ot Mil ledgeville and elsewhere are mak ing out lists of their former slaves in order to he ready when the Gov ernment comes around to pay for them. Col. Bouily, of the Hamilton Vis itor, is active. He drummed up two hundred new subscribers in a fortnight recently.— Exchange. Probably he considered them good, clever fellows and entered their names without instruction. — We have heard of the “largest list in America” being “drummed up” in o very short time in this manner. Democratic Nominations. —The following persons were nominated l>y the Democratic party on Satur d iy,. November 27th — Messenger. Query—lf that was the Demo eratic party that voted at the time mentioned in the Messenger, what pai t}' was it that voted for Whitely on the 3J of November last, and when were Tom Rivers, Tom.

Governor on Re cognition ot (he Fraiidii lent ISont!*, and a Con stitutional Convention. The A'lanta correspondent of the Chronicle, and Sentinel, under date of the 4th instant, sends that paper an account of a conversation held that day with Governor Smith, wherein the latter set forth his views or? these subjects. After ex pressing his astonishment that there was? any doubt as to his views re garding the payment of the fraudu lent Bullock bonds, the Governor went on to say : I was one among the first, if not the first man, in Georgia to dispute the legality of the Dulicck bonds, and my convictions concerning their legality have never been altered. I am absolutely and uncompromis ingly opposed to the payment of any bonds which have been proven or can be proven to have been fraudulently or illegally issued. Correspondent —Do you regard the proposed amendment to the constitution, prohibiting the pay merit of these bonds, defective ? Governor —1 do. Its phraseolo gy is so defective as to exclude some of the most important of the bonds from the prohibition. lob served this defect when it was pre sented to me for my approval, and had the Legislature been in session I would have called the attention of that body to this serious' omission ; but the Legislature had already ad journed, and I signed the bill for what it was worth. Correspondent Governor, do you think it competent for the ap preaching Legislature to perfect the amendment i Governor Smith—As a citizen and a lawyer, I do. There are how ever, in the State a number of able constitutional lawyers who disagree with me. I think myself that it is clearly within the power of the ap proaching Legislature to perfect this amendment. I, however, de sire that this question be settled in a manner satisfactory to every citi zen of Georgia, and I would prefer to have it settled positively and unequivocally by a power, and in a manner, which would give rise to no future controversy on the sub ject. lam anxious that it be set tled as soon as possible, so that it may never agmu become ail issue in our State elections. I wish to see men elected to the Legislature for other qualifications than those ol opposition to the payment of these bonds. A CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION. Correspondent—Governor,- this subject suggests on other question which is attracting much attention at the present juncture—that of a Constitutional Convention. Do you think the time has arrived when we can properly and safely call a Con stitutional Convention ? Governor Smith -As a citi zen, I do. While I make Bo recom uiendation as Governor, my private opinion is that we can safely call a convention without fear of conse quences. Our people are conserva tive and cautious and will not act rashly or injudiciously, and in mak ing anv alterations in our organic law will be influenced by a desire to promoter the good of every class of our people. The time has come when we need apprehend no Fed carl interference, when we will be allowed to regulate our own affairs uninterrupted by the dictation of Federal authority. While our present Constitution is a very good one, and was framed in seme meas ure by men of patriotism, it has sev eral grave objections, and I think the sooner they are remedied the better. I have but one slight ap prehension in regard to the results of a Constitutional Convention at this time : I am somewhat fearful it may produee issues which may di vide our people at the next Presi dential election. I, however, be lieve that white people of Georgia are so thoroughly united that they will not permit local issues to divide them in a national electiou when so much is at stake; and lam willing to risk a convention at this time. Correspondent How do you think, Governor, it should be call ed ? Gov. Smith —I think the question of whether or not we shall have a Convention, should be (submitted to tiie people. I wish to consult their wishes in this question. Including both white and colored voters. I doubt whether there are a ma jority of the people of the State who favor a constitutional Conven tion. If they, however desire one, I see no reason why they should not have it during the approaching summer. It has been urged that a convention would he too expensive, but lam of the opinion that if it be worth the while it is certainly worth the expense to call it. If the next Legislature should see proper to submit the question to the people it should make provision for a speedy assembling of the con ventkxi. It should specify the time for the convention or authorize the Governor to do so ; appoint a time for the flection of delegates and for deciding the question of a conven tion by ballot simultaneously, and authorize the Governor to issue his proclamation for the same. Some time during the summer, when the mass of the people are not too ninth employed, would be a proper time. Accounts from Washington say that the tax on raw cotton exacted from the south would be refunded, at this session, if the two interests pressing for a settlement could har monize the planters and the fac tors and merchants. As it is pro posed to pay the claims in bonds, the lack of money does not militate against the passage of a bill to- re fund the tax. A company is being organized to build a cotton factory va AmerLeus, “The (irlorieu* West.” Editor Appeal; The sensible ad \ice given in last week’s issue, un der tlie above caption, upon being permitted to read a letter from Caw ley county, Kansas—“ Our advice is remain in Georgia,’’-“induces me to furnish for publication in the Ap peal, the following extract, taken from a letter published in the New York Times of a recent date : Austin, Texas, Oct. 27, ’74. ' After leaving Nacogdoches, I rode on toward Crockett, and as this lit tle town is on the Great Northern railroad, I exchanged the saddle for a seat in the cars, and was soon whirled to Houston. Nineteen-twentieths of the land from Shreveport to Crockett was of the poorest quality, and yet the in habitants were all agog for immi gration, and were having meetings on the subject, and listening to speeches, and subscribing their scan ty quarter dollars to send agents to Georgia to invite immigrants from tins laboring classes of that Slate. Tivere seems but little sense in this since they lravenothing to giveaway. There is hardly a sure crop, save peas, and that is oue of the things they seldom plant. Ot course they can only reckon upon half a crop; of cotton they will only average one fair crop in four years; wheat is ruined by rust; bogs, though they feed upon mast, must be fattened with corn and they have not enough for bread, and therefore they can make but little bacon ; Sorghum is a sure crop, but they have a preju dice against it, and hence they of ten take their coffee without sweet ening, Their cows have to browse half the time upon the leaves and shoots of trceo, and hence they give but little or w> milk, consequently but little butter can be made. In fact, to sum up truly’, the inhabi tants of Eastern Texas live misera bly, and for them to invite immigra tion is like one beggar asking ani other to come aod diae with him.” Are these not the immigration agents reported by the Albany News, as overrunning Southwestern Georgia? The people would do well to read the able and interest ing letters of Col. Fielder and Dr. Burney, published last summer in the Appeal, before making their fi nal arrangements to move to “The Glorious West.” • A Paying Subscriber. The above has been sent us by one of our farmers who reads a great deal and thinks for himself. Whenever we get h impartial and candid statement of facts, from this great Western Eldorado, they will not be so inviting as to induce many who are located in Georgia to make an exchange for the western or fron tier life. The idea that a better country can be found than Georgia —ail things considered—is being exploded, and our people are be coming more contented, and conse quently more prosperous and hap py. Georgia affords the best test of conservatism and its influences in giving healthy tone and prosperous direction to the lately mrsetiled af fairs ot the State and in the service it has performed in elevating the black race to a point where their freedom will prove a blessing and not a curse. The Georgia negroes own considerable over six millions of assessed property which is pret ty well distributed over the sepa rate counties, but as a favorite method of investment has been sav ings banks deposits, even this large sum does not begin to measure the surplus that the Georgia blacks have suceeded in accumulating. Undoubtedly the colored men there own more property than their breth em of any other distinctively South ern State, and even during the year which measures a period denominat ed as a season of dullness and hard times, the increas in their accumu lation has been forty per cent, and the impulse is one of growing thrift which is full of happy promise for the future ot both blacks and whites. Even the Freed men’s Bank swindles have taught lessons of wisdom rath er than brought permanent dis couragement, and, under the now well-established conservative re gime, Georgia is working out a re construction for herself that shall be to the lasting advantage of all the citizens.— Poston Post. Meeting of Georgia Farm ers. —All the members of the Pat rons of Husbandry, delegates from all tire county agricultural societies, and all leading agriculturists of lhe State, and the stockholders of the Direct Trade Union are earnestly re quested to meet in mass convention iu the city of Atlanta, on Wednes day, the 15th day of December, to consult about matters of great importance to the agricultural inter ests of the State.

A Pertinent Qcerry. —lt is gravely btated that Huntington, Tenn., has not had a marriage for two years-, and the girls demand to know what policy the Democrats propose to adopt' in the premises. The President’* Iless.lge. This annual document fills out daily exchanges to the exclusion of other, and we may say, far more interesting matter, and its length renders it impossible, should we so desire, to give it to our readers. The editor of the Macon Star gives the “gum” of this wonderful paper in the f< lowing biief ref view, which we think suits the read er better than to read the entire document. The Star Says : In the early history of the Uni ted States, the president met the Congress face to lace and delivered his recommendations orally. The innovations from spoken to written messages were made by Mr. Jef ferson, and the custom from his day to the present, has been followed more as a form, than a matter of es sential utility. Tie Queen ot En gland sways a scepter over two hundred and fifty million subjects, and possessions on which the sun never sets, and yet her speech to Parliament seldom exceeds a half column of a newspaper. Our Pres ident, the servant of forty million of little kings aod queens, would be guilty of an offense to majesty if lie failed to fill eight or ten columns of a paper with au infinite deal of noth ing. Speeches and messages should, like a kiss, be valued more for strength than length. The Pri&iJent tells a great many things we already know, such as we are in debt as a nation, that we have abundant labor and capital, and a soil and climate celebrated by the variety of products to feed and clothe our own people,- and a surplus to spare. lie thinks our debt abroad can be paid by only gold or its equivalent. He says nothing ol his policy, and that of hia servile Congress, which has par alized the labor and bankrupted the Southern States. He is exceeding secret as to the causes, in his opin ion, which overthrew the Ilepubli cans in the late elections, and lies low and keeps dark as to the veto, should Congress pass the civil rights bill, and his wishes to serve a tlr’rd term. Chi these subjects the Presi dent fights shy, and exhibits more of the cunning tliao the wisdom of the serpent. Tiie Civil Eights Bill. —A Washington dispatch says: Judge Hoar, to whom Charles Simmer be quathed his civil rights bill, is to have a tnssel with lien Butler as to who shall manage the &i‘ft this ses sion. Hoar says that Butler has nothing to do with it. He favors the Senate bill now on the Speak er’s table, while the Beast wants to pass a bill fixed up by his commit tee, amending the Senate bill in re spect to the school feature and com mon cemeteries. This last is prob ably the administration policy.— The Democrats will not agree to either bill, and, if either be pressed, will resort to all parliamentary agencies to defeat it. If Hoar ousts Butler, as he proposes, the latter threatens to ventilate the inside and outside of Massachusetts poli tics. Hoar and Butler do not speak to each other, and are in the right humor, if they get into a scrim mage, to make the fur fly. Robinson Crusoe’s Island, in the South Pacific Ocean, is now peo pled by’ a German colony of about .seventy souls, who landed upon its shores in 1862. On their arrival they found large flocks of goats, thirty halfwild horses, about sixty aSses, and a number of other domes tic animal’s. They brought with them cows, hogs, fowls, farming, utensils, small boats aud fishing tackle, A fine crop of grain is expected lor next year. Our exchanges con tinue to bring the joyful intelligence that the planters are availing them selves ol the fine sowing seasou they have had. It is piobable that the planters of Georgia have pat fat the ground a larger proportion of grain this fall than has been done since the close of the war. The good farmers, who are, after all, the great props of the county’s prosper ity, are beginning to realize that they cannot afford to pay Mr. Yan. kee for meat and bread, which has to be freighted hundreds of miles, when the same caa be raised aud grown just a few hundred yards from their barn doors. This looks something like coming to second so ber thought sure enough. One by one of the Southern States as they fall into the hands of their own people are getting rid of the Constitutions imposed upon them by aliens and enemies. Mis souri, Tenuesssee and Arkansas have each held conventions, and adopted anew organic law The question of convention or no con vention has just been submitted to the people of Texas, and ha3 been decided by a large majority in favor of a convention. North Carolina is vigorously agitating a similar movement, and with fair prospects of success. Georgia alone is a lag gard. Her people still live under a constitution framed by their ene mies. We believo that they will not live under such an instrument much longer; that within less than twelve months representatives of the sovereign people will assemble to make the laws for Georgians.— Augusta Chronicle. Rev. 11. G. Hornady lias accepted a call to the Baptist church in Car rollton, and will enter on his duties next January. A Card to the Public. A Short Postponement of the sth \ • Gift Concert. As manager of the gift concerts given in aid of the Public Library, of Kentucky, my position creates an important trust in behalf of the' Public library and the ticket-holders ofthe fifth gift conceit. The Publ c Library of Kentucky and the ticket holders are jointly interested in the amount of the drawing. The larger the fund to be distributed in gifts, the greater will be the gift awarded to each lucky ticket-holder and tl e more the amount realized by the Library- To have a full drawing is so manifestly to the interest of those interested, that, rather than have a fractional drawing on the 30th inst., I deem it due to the trust confided to me by the ticket-holders and the Public Library of Kentucky, that a shot t postponement be made to en able me to dispose of the unsold tickets and have a full drawing.— Though the very largo amount now in bank would enable us to distribute handsome gitts, yet we should feel disappointed in this Our last concert, should we be eompell ed to make a fractional drawing, however large. We have received so very large a number of letters from all parts of the country from those most largely interested, urging a postponement if all the tickets be not sold by the 30th, that we feel strengthened in ; our sense of duty to the ticket-hol ders and the Public Library, to make the postponement. Under the circumstances, we have deter mined, in the interest of all parties, to postpone the concert and draw ing to Saturday, February 27,1875, at which time the drawing will pos itively take place : and as a guaran tee of good faith towaid ticket-hol ders, we pledge ourselves to refund to any ticket-holder his money, up on presentation of his ticket, should the drawing fail to come off at the day now fixed-. The past, we feel assured, will be sufficient guarantee to all interested that they will be fairly and'honestly dealt with. The more}’ paid for tickets is severely preserved against all contingencies until after the payment of the gifts, after which the expenses are to fee reimbursed and the Public Library is to be p id its proflits. Tuos. E. Bramlktte, Agent and Manager. Nov. 29, 1874. Good.—We learn that articles of impeachment were preferred against Elias M.
