on pur first page to-day, tp several ad
dresses, delivered befppp the House of
Representatives, on the occasion of the
death of this estimable gentleman. His
numerous fpjppds will be delighted to
Jearii in what high esteem he was held
by the House to which he belonged.
\V. W. Carter Sons.—We call
the attention pf our readers to the card
of this new Savannah House.
Captain Carter has been sq long
known in Washington pauniy, especially
in Sandersville, where he has lived for
more than twenty years, that we feel
reluctant to part with him. An honest
$nan, a good neighbor ; a first rate mer
chant, a sincere Christian, he will carry
with him the best wishes of all who
know him. His sons reared under the
parental eye in Sandersville* have had
first rate mercantile training* aod we
they will do no discredit on the
Seaboard, to their middle Georgia edu
cation.
Having resigned theageney atStation
13 C. R. R, which he has filled to the
entire satisfaction of the C. R. R., as
well as the public j Captain Cat ter
carries with fiiina business experience
and tact, which insures his success.
Rev. Dr. Hook.—We regret to
.learn the death of this aged and devot
ed servant of God. He died we learn
the residence o4 his son in-law Col.
Howell, above Atlanta. We have
known Dr. Hook since 1832, and taken
in every respect we do not know that
we have in that time known a better
man. A faithful servant of the mos 1
High, his latter years were devoted to
the Christian Church of which he was
a member.
Macon Agricultural Fair.—We
.have received the Premium list of the
Macon Agricultural fair which comes
pff in October next. As this is the feet
fair of t&e Centoad A ^Cultu
ral and Manufacturing Cowp&uy, we
flunk the Premium lists % liber
ality highly commendable and we
doubt not will insure, a first class Ex
hibition. It will open on Monday the
3d and close on Saturday the 8th of
October. Pleased to see that Capt. Z.
H. Roughton, of Sandersville* kus been
appointed one of the jndges fn Class 4
Department D of the Exhibition.
As the Press is specially iftviied, we
shall not resist so Pressing sjn invita

The Woman’s Journal, published
at Boston and Chicago.—No. 29 of
volume 1st of this periodical is before
ps. Devoted to tfie maintenance of
Woman’s Rights a? if understands
them, in size, typography, &c., &c.,
it is a very decent sheet, and as such
we commend it to any otf fk.e sex who
feel that they are oppressed. Fer our-
splf we have no sympathy with the Wo
man’s Rights movement ‘so called’ %t
the North or West. With a good many
pther isms North we regard it fche off*
spring of aptChrisf. We believe tk.e
highest petition of woman is that as
signed her in the Bible. This elevates
her to companionship with man. She
iB a “help mete” to him, but her posi
tion is subordinate. Man is the head,
and the present attempt to elevate her
above the position assigned.her by the
Almighty when he created her, can on
ly end in failure and disappointment.

The War in Europe.
By reference to our telegiaphic col
umns it wi l be ? en t at a terrible
battle has been fought by the French

to fail back. Whether this is due to

coruainieg antimony, which is just use
less a5W injurious to him as is the con
stautly swallowing of poisonous com

more humane to knock a horse on the
head at once than to kill him by inches
through the action of antimony, which
accumulates in the system, and thus
sooner or later produces death by anti-
monial poisoning. Remember, reader,
there is no antin^ny* pw: any other
poison in the ‘Equine Condition Pow

Democratic Meeting in WasfcijRg-
ton County.
In obedience to a call pnb'i?hed in
the Central Georgian, the citizens of
our county assembled in the Coun
House in Sandersville on Tuesday Au
gust 2d, 1870. On nuoxion, the mee--
ing was organized by calling Gen.
Satn’l Robison to the chair, and the ap
puintmeiit ol Dr. Geo.. W.. H. Whita
ker as Secretary.
The object of the meeting was stated
by J. N. Gilmore, Escp, to be, to take
into consideration the political issues,
which present tht-Btscl'ves to us in our
present condition * and to elect dele
gates, to represent our county ip the
Democratic Convention, to be teld in
Atlanta o# the lljlh of August next.
On motion of Col. R, D. Evans, u
committee of five was appointed to pre
pare business for the meeting, who re
lated through their chaitman, the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, the citizens of the coun
ty having met together, to consult and
advise with each other, as to x(h$,t is
best to be done in these times of grjeat
est peril to the best interests yf the
State ; it is fitting and pioper iu this
crisis of affairs, that the « piuioDUoi the
people in primary assemtilage should,
be outspoken ; to the end that all at
tempted usurpations of power, umj.el-
rgated by the people, and unwarranted,
by the ‘Cousfituiiou of the State %n<j
United, States, should receive just Q9f>-=
demn^trgjp. ‘ • Bjeit ^9 re fore
Resolved, That the passage by a ma
jority of the Senate of Georgia of a
preamble and resolution, bearing as it
does on its lace the avowal of untruths,
having for its end to defraud the peo
ple of the exercise of their j uat legal
and constitutional rights by so shaping
legislation that no election of the peo
ple shall be held for the various offices
provided for in the Constitution of the
State, thereby prolonging the term ol
a legislature beyond the period for
uchfyfi tfiey were elected, is a-gross vio-
terms of the Con
stitution of the State, a fraud upon the
rights of the people, and subversive of
their best interests.
Resolved, That this denial of the
right to choose our public servants, is
at 01.ee to destroy the liberties of the
people, and establish a legislative des
potism.
liesoved, That having pledged our
selves to abide by, maintain and sup
port the Constitution and laws of the
Sta e, and United States, we will use
all legal and pri p r means in our pow
er to perpetuate a free ballot, securing
to every citizen alike irrespective ol
previous condition, an unrestricted ex
ercise of the highest privilege of a free
man.
Resolved, That we invite the co-op
eration of all loyal law abiding citizens,
10 aid in displacing from power, the
111*11 who would prostitute the put po
ses of government to promote private
ends and self-aggrandisement.
Resolved, That the recklessness, ex
travagance and useless expenditure of
the people’s money by the present Ex
ecutive of the State, demands the un-
qua tfied condemnation of every good
and patriotic citizen of the common
wealth.
O11 motion, the resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
We recommend that tour delegates
and lour alternates be appointed to rep
resent this county in the Convention to
be held in Atlanta on the 17th inst.

dressed in the white of a penitent—

and there publicly burn the act of baud

ing Cianmer, lie held his right hand in

be a striking nrnnh station of his ab-
liuirem e ut the prune that hand com

tion:
Atlanta, August 8, 1870.
To (he Members of the House oj Rep
resentatives: Duty to myself, and re
spect lor the people ol my nativeStale,
in my judgment, demand that I should
give seine explanation in regard to the
resolutions offend by mein the Senate,
and which passed that body on Friday
last, the (fleet to which was expected
to be to postpone a general election, and
pn long the term ol office ol m- mhers
of the General As embly and oi all
State officials.
At the time I offered those resolu
tions it was mv honest opinion that, if
this action was not actually in accor
dance with the expressed will of Con-
gies-, their wishes, to say the least,
were left in great doubt, and under the
circnmstanc*s it would V-e better f>r
the State to pospone an election until
Congress s. odd again convene, and
have an oppertuoity to indicate, in
clear tcims, their determination on the
su'j e».
My intention was not to pospone an
election fur two years, or for an indefi -
nite p» ri* d; but only lor a few months,
that we might not again run contrary
tilth* views which the Federal Gov-
ert.ii.ent perl nps entertained, and has
u e paramount authority to enfo’ce. I
iiis.de the proposition with good mo
tives, and, as I believed, in the interests
of peace.
The constitutional obj- etion to the
resolu’-i- ns did not impress tny mind,
probably! with the same force as i:
would a person learned in the law, but
I did not intend to propose, nor 03*9 7
ever sanction a *hj*h will (de
prive or v iftEfiol j $tW» tW per pie any
cut 1sti.tutLojjut.li right* ?s.^t civilly the in—
j estimable tight of fija^ivliise.
Inasmuch a* the resp.hitionsareelaim-
ed by many, and probably would be
constructed to mean that no election
should be held in this Slate for two
year** and perhaps fur a longer time, I
am sati.-fi. d they ought not finally to
pass, and regret j proposed or v .-
ted for them.
Since the passage of the resolution
by the Senate* 1 haw learned more
fully* from various and opposite sour
ces* the history of the passage of the
late law of Congress, and I atn now
convinced that it was the intention of
that body to avtlhori%- * and as (ar
they c* uld with propriety, p-jv,xidu for
a general election iu ^ovetnlp^f S.eNb
as provided tor in c^r Slate oc/is^ttu
lion. Inmy not prudently, at present*
disclose all the sources ol ty^ Lyjortna-
’'lion; but 1 d*> declare thiJ,y yt of such
character as to* kv*Vr reasonable
doubt that the intewivM ol Congress
was to remit the governVLeft v/ G eor
gia to the pe pie thcijeof. <V#» ,J vd ol
this, there is tut good reason f«» \ .ter fer
ing with therejjyilat eourscol our State
Government :» afl Us d«-panuients.
I have wished* ?*d still desire \o
avoid all conflict witfi F.-deral rouho^r
ty. The reawlutious 1 *)fij«.Te*l were
designed by to avoid the edibility
of it by a brief delay of an election
until Cvwtg»ess should unmistakably
express t's will. But the words of t,he
law in connection with the history of
its. passage, so clearly manifest ty, yiy
mind V9 W the intention to elotli,c. the
people ejj Georgia with all the rights
of eitispnship, as to leave those with
out excuse who withhold ifiem.
Thoroughly eouxv>eed that my
course and vole on this ^.ul j ct were
erroneous, I take the etuliest opp iriu-
nity to repair the wroug as may
be by an honest ^ktijowledgemont of
it and by an ertrueat appeal to y*>u to
defeat the resolutions w hen they come
up for action iu the House ol R -pte—

The Neutrality of England.—
We are alteady witnessing illustrations
of Englat dV nrutriulity. E gland is a
great workshop and a great storehou.-e.
She has everything on hand which
either of the belligerents need. France,
we are told, is buying coal and car-
Hiilges. Prussia is buying blockade
runners. H e ''ner Po.ver, however, is
phased with England. How can they
be? And yet wherein arc English
merchants u> blame? British and
American merchants will run risks in
spite ol their respective governments.
One ol the funny spectacles promised
by this war is Brinish and A mer i ua bi

Bismarck based his proposals on his
anxiety about the plans of Russia, and
