Urquhart "S.E.D." signed also by John Milton Georgia's Secretary of State; to this is attached a plat description one-page folio dated September 12 1793 signed by Thomas McCall Surveyor General of Georgia and John Milton as Secretary of State. Augusta GA 1794. A wonderful survival evoking the era of the Yazoo Land Frauds. Both Governor George Mathews and his immediate predecessor Edward Telfair were or were about to be tainted with involvement in Georgia land speculation; Mathews as governor in fact signed the notorious Yazoo Land Act. Having served in the Revolution Mathews had been nominated as the first governor of the Mississippi Territory but lost the appointment because of dubious land speculation and alleged involvement on the Blount Conspiracy; later he played a leading role in fomenting revolution in Florida. Telfair a prominent rebel during the revolution and a member of the Continental Congress served as governor 1789-1793 during which time "he was reckless in his dealings with the state's lands" DAB.

1880réf. 5904Atlanta: December 18 1880. About very good. Broadside newspaper extra 19 x 11.25 inches. Old folds and creases a bit wrinkled minor soiling minor fraying and light staining to top edge tiny hole at center crossfold. An extraordinarily rare broadside newspaper extra from the only Republican paper in the state of Georgia to survive the end of Reconstruction. The Atlanta Republican was issued weekly between 1874 and 1886 and was devoted to Republican Party causes during Reconstruction. The present extra issue is a ringing endorsement of Hon. Amos T. Akerman 1821-1880 the Republican nominee to a recent open circuit judgeship in the state. Akerman was a Dartmouth-educated jurist who moved south to practice law. He settled in Georgia in 1850 and true to his surroundings owned several slaves and served as a colonel in the Confederate Army. Following the war Akerman became an advocate for Reconstruction and freedmen's rights served as U.S. Attorney for Georgia and eventually worked as President Grant's attorney general crusading against the first incarnation of the Ku Klux Klan during the early 1870s. Though a Republican in Reconstruction Georgia Akerman remained a largely popular figure in the state. The present broadside documents a meeting by the Atlanta Bar in which they speak glowingly about the "ability learning and integrity" of Akerman praise his "unswerving fidelity to the Republican Party at the most stormy and trying periods of the struggles of the South" and note both his "manly services in the cause of the true national and human and sentiments and principles in the trying days of reconstruction" and "valuable services to the cause of Republicanism during the last fifteen years." The work also mentions Akerman's volunteer services during a supposed "negro insurrection" in Georgia in the mid-1870s in which Akerman's work "resulted in restoring peace and satisfying the impassioned and infuriated whites that there was no insurrection attempted or contemplated." The Bar calls for united support for Akerman and the broadside concludes with an article about a "Committee of Lawyers appointed to press the claims of Mr. Akerman for the Circuit Judgeship." Despite the strong support statewide Akerman was never able to accept the judgeship had it been offered to him; unfortunately he died three days after the issuance of the present newspaper extra. Still the broadside remains an interesting example of the waning though remaining Republican influence in very late-to-post-Reconstruction Georgia. The present newspaper extra is not in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society nor in OCLC but one is apparently located at the University of Georgia's broadside collection.
