CARTERBVILLE, OA. t OCT. 3,~ 1871
General James H. Clanton, of
Alabama, the acknowledged leader of
her Democracy, who was with us but
a few days ago at this place, prosecn
tUig the interests of his State in the
case of the State of Alai mma, vs. the
Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad Cos.,
the Stantons and others, in the pride
of his manly intellect and vigorous
health, is now no more. The sad in
telligence of his assassination has al
ready been borne over the lines, and
the whole South mourns his loss. His
brilliant career, promising so much of
fatna for himself, and good for his peo
ple, is thus sadly ended, cut off by
what seems to be a premeditated cold
blooded murder.
“He is jrone on the mountain,
He is lost to the forest,
Like a summer dried fountain,
When our need was the sorest.”
To the exclusion of other matter we
publish the editorial of the Columbus
Ftfqnirer, and tho Montgomery Adver
tiser in relation to this great public
calamity.
Assassination of General James
11. Clunton.
No recent event has more painfully
shocked this community than the news
of the death of Gen. James H. Clanton,
of Alabama, at the hands of a Tennes
see Radical ruffian. Gen. Clanton
was personally well known to many of
•>ur citizens, and all were cognizant of
his gallantry in war, his cool bravery
in all times of trial or danger, his un
selfish patriotism in public and his
spotless honor in private life, his ever
reliable devotion to his friends and to
the high principles that guided him,
and the manly straight forwardness
that won for him tho confidence and
respect of all who knew him. Not in Al
abama alone, but by all who knew that
Alabama had such a son, will hii death
be keenly regretted and his base assas
sination execrated.
Gen. Clanton was tho eon of the late
Colonel Nathaniel H. Clanton, of Ma
con county, Ala., formerly of Georgia.
Ho removed from Macon county to
Montgomery about the year 1850.
where he studied law in the office of the
late Chancellor N. W. Cocke. He had
hardly attained his majority before he
lbecame a favorite of the people of
Montgomery, and he was very early
in life elected to represent them in tbe
Legislature. He married a daughter
of the late H in. Jas. Abercrombie,
then of Russel county, Ala. His gal
lant services iu the late war doubly en
deared him to the people of Alabama
and made him warm Mends through
out the South; and his manly, bold
and jndickm course Biuce the war made
him probably the most popular man iu
his own State, and established for him
u reputation throughout the South as
one of the well-tried and rising men
whom we would all delight to honor
whatever the opportunity should be
presented. Al as that sue a fond hopes
should-be so cruelly Hsappointed, and
thut a career so honorable iu the past
aud. so promising in the future should
be ho suddenly ended by the assassiu’s
shot!.
It was our good fortune to know
Gen. Clanton well in his boyhood—to
bo intimately associated with him in
political contests, and to know many
instances of his unswerving devotion
to his country and friends. The fatul
shot that reached his heart laid low
upon the streets of Knoxville one of the
noblest men that ever put a foot upon
the soil of Tennessee. *
•The Montgomery Advertiser —from
which we derive the particulars of
Gen. Clauton’s death—comes to us
clad in mourning for the sad event.—
Fueling that.not Alabama only, but
Georgia and other States have sus
tained a great loss, and personally
sympathising will those who deplore
thu death or a cherished and respected
friend, we also drape these columns in
mourning for ore whose truth, hunor,
patriotism and courage would justify
the distinguished m mumental inscrip
tion : ;
“This was a Man.”

Knoxville, Sept. 27.
About 6 o’clock this evening Gene
ra] Clanton, in company with a Knox
ville friend, met D. M. Nelson, of
Cleveland, and Tomlinson Fort, of
Chattanooga, Clanton and Nelson,
who had never met before, were intro
duced by Fort. Nelson had been
drinking, and after two or three min
utes conversation lie made a remark
questioning Clanton’s courage. Clun
tott «Aid: “Do I look as if I was
afraid ?” Nelson saidi “I do not know
whether you do or not.” More words
passed, when the other gentlemen,
apprehending a difficulty, attempted
to-pacify them. Finally Clanton feaid
“name your friend, time and place,
aud, try me.” Nelson said: “Now will
do as well as any other time; step out
hit*? the street.” In the meanwhile
about a dozen men had gathered.—
Clanfjon stepped out into the street,
and Nelson ran into a store, got a
double-barreled shot gnu and caine out
under un awning, where he thought
Cbpiton could not see him. Immedi
ately the crowd scattered. Nelson
thou rested his gnn on the side of a
and >or frame and tired, missing Clanton.
Chiton drew a pistol and fired at
ram don. Nelson then fired a second
shot, which struck Clanton in front
1 and in flic upner part of his arm*
breaking it. Four buckshot entered
| Clanton’s right breast, whereupon he
j sank down and died instantly. Nel
| son ran off through the store, got his
J horse and rode out of town. Clanton’s
j body was taken to the Lamar House,
where an inquest was held, which
developed the above facts. The jury
adjourned until morning. Clanton’s
body will be sent off to-night.
THE LATEST—TESTIMONY BEFORE THE COR
ONERS JURY.
Knoxville, Sept. 27.—The following
| appears in the Press & Herald of to
morrow’: One of the most deplorable
affrays that ever took place in Knox
ville happened lust evening. Gen, J.
H. Clanton, one of the best lawyers I
and most popular men of Alabama, as
well as one of the bravest and noblest j
men that ever lived, was shot and iu- i
stantly killed by Col. D. M. Nelson, of
Cleveland, Tennessee. Gen’l. Clanton
was here in attendance upon the U. S. i
Cornt to guard the interest of Ala-,
bama in the Alabama Sc Chattanooga
Railroad case, and had never met Col.
Nelson, wdio was interested iu a case
now pending iu the Supreme Court,
until five minutes before the affray oc
curred. After the fatal shot had been
fired the body of Gen. Gun ton was ta
ken into the buck office of the confec
tionery store under the Lamar House,
where every effort was made by com
peteni surgeons to restore life, but in
vain. As soon as life was ascertained
to be extinct the body was removed to
the reading room of the Lamar House,
and J. P. Ally, acting Coroner, sum-
I moried the following jury: W. R. Mc-
Hatli, E W. Adkins, A. C. E. Callius,
■J. N. Hacker, J. H. Renshaw, Jehu
Crowly and J. A. Brakehill. After the
jury were sworn, Tomlinson Fort, E<q.,
being sworn, stated to the jury that
| ten or fifteen minutes before G o’clock,
p. in., he was standing on the corner
of Gay and Cumberland streets, hav
ing ju t come out of Edifler’s saloon.
He had just met Col. D. M, Nelson,
and was walking arm iu arm with him,
being an old friend, when he saw Gen.
Clanton with a dark whiskered gentle
man, Col. A. S. Prosser, on the other
side of the street. They crossed over
and met them and he introduced Gen.
Clanton to Nelson, with tlie remark
that Nelson fought “us.” Fort was iu
the Confed' rate army, ami Clanton al
so, but had been very liberal and hon
orable towards his late enemies. Nel
son or Clanton propos and to go and
take a drink. Col. Fort thinks that
Col. N* Lon made the proposition. As
they walked along, tho talked turned
in some way on amusements, and Col
N. Ison remarked that he could show
Clant- *n something good if he was not
afraid. Gen. Cl niton said: “Do you
think I’m afraid?’’ Notion said: “1
don’t know whether you are or not.”
The same lvm rks were repeated sev
eral times Col. Nelson apparently be
coming very much excited, while Gen.
Clanton was cool. Col. Fort put his
hand on Nelson’s shoulder, who was
under the influence of liquor, and said
“keep "cool, Dave; you are in the
wrong; there is no use in fighting.”—
At length as Nelson repe -ted “I don’t
know whether you are afraid or not,”
Gen Clanton said “well if you think
!’m afraid just try me; name your
friend, time, place and distance.”— \
Nelson said “this is as good a time !
and place ;.s any.” Gen. Clanton then ;
said “Port, step off (he ground for
your friend.” Col. Fort refused to do
so, as both were friends, and there was
no cause for n quarrel. While lie was
talking with Gen. Clanton, Col. Nelson
had gone into Eifler’s saloon, and as
he was urging Clanton to go off, as
Nelson was drunk, F ?t heard the
door of the St. Nicholas open. He
looked and saw Nelson with a double
barreled gun coming out. He thought |
iliat Nelson fired the first shot, and as
he fired, Clanton leveled his pistol,
cocked it and fired. Nelson at once
fired again, and after the shot Clanton
fell forward, doubling himself up on
his hands and face. He did not know
wh it became of Nelsou after the fatal
shot was fired. Col. Fort stated that
during all the conversation Gen. Clan
ton held his hands on his coat collar,
while JSlclson kept his hands in his \>ock
ets !
Judge C. F. Trigg being sworn,
stated that he had just laid down in
his room, No. 10 iu the Lamar House,
but hearing loud talk ou Cumberland
street, got up and looked out of the
window. He saw Clanton and Fort
standing in the street, and heard Clan
ton say 10 Fort, “he told me to take
my position.” Very soon Nelson came
out of Eifler’s with a double barrel gun
in Lis hands, and rested the gun
against the right-hand side of a post,
and fired at Clanton, who had no wea
pon in hts hands at the. time ! Soon, af
ter, Clanton drew a pistol and fired.
Nelsou then fired again at Clanton,
who stood quartering to Nelson.
Drs. W. F. Green, from Greenville,
and J. R. Tadiook, of this oily, stated
to the jury ou oath, after making an
exami atiou of the body, that fifteen
or eighteen shot or small balls had en
tered the chest near the right shoul
der, fracturing the shoulder joint and
severing several arteries and veins,
which were essential to life. Tiny
thought that a portion of tho shots
had entered the lungs. Two shots or
slugs were taken out on the back side
of the shoulder by them.
The jury consulted a few minutes
and adjourned to meet this morning
at 9 o’clock, when they will render
their verdict.
It is but justice to Mr. Eifler to
state that the weapon was not obtain
ed in his house, but from some of the
houses ou uay street, to whose back
doors access can be had from his back
door. We learn that Col. Nelson
immediately after the fatal shot pro
cured a horse and fled across the
country. The last heard of him was
at 11 o’clock last night, when he was
reported to have passed the toll-gate
on the Kingston pike three miles
ahead of Sheriff Gossett, The father
of Col. Nelson, Hon. ‘T. A. R. Nelson,
one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court of this State, sent out two of
his other sons in company with the
Sheriff to bring him back if they c. nld
| find him. Nearly every ou9 iu E.s;
Tenn ssee knows C >l. N Ison, but for
the information of th >v at a distance
it is proper that we should state th.-
he is the second sou of Hon. T. A. R
Nelsou, one of the Judges of the Su
prome Court of this State, a jurist ami
statesman or national reputation. He
, WiiS a captain iu an East Tuunesseee
regiment in the Federal army during
the late war, aud was on General Gii
lem’s stuff’. Towards the close of th
war he was breveted Lieut. Colonel
He is a young man of w r inn, generous
aud impulsive nature, and has a host
of frieuds, who will deplore so unto
ward an event in his career.
The remains of Gen. Clanton, clad
in anew suit ctf gray cassimere, with a
bouquet of evergieens aud fl overs on
the breast, from the hands of Mrs. J
A. Rhea, of Montgomery, after remain
ing in the Reading Room of the La
mar House, where tiny were visited
by hundreds of our citizens till 10
o’clock, were placed in a mahogany
enameled casket, and accompanied by
u number of friends, were conveyed to
the depot and left for Montgomery on
the 12 o’clock train iu ch .rge of Col.
J. H. Gindrat, of Alabama.”
The Press Sc Herald concludes its
editorial as follows:
“Gen. Clanton was a universal fa
vorite in Alabama, aud the death of
no man in that State could be more
deeply lamented. His personal friends
wlio were here with him on the occa
sion of his professional visit to our
city, seem stricken with an overwhel
ming sorrow. Many tears fill the eyes
of these brave men as they recount
his virtues and bewail his untimely
death. The hearts of straugers are
saddened in sympathy, and our whole
community, hardly recovered from the
shock, lament the melancholy tragedy.
We have neither time nor space nor
the heart to indulge in comment this
morning upon so appalling aud heart
rending an occurrence, which has
brought unlocked for mourning into
many households and awakened the
tenderest sympathies of our com
munity, not alone for the bereaved
friends of the slaiu, but also for the
near kindred of the slayer, whose
hearts are bowed beneath the stroke
of so great a calamity.” R.
Foster Blodgett Arrested*
On yesterday, the 27th inst.,
McCall a made oath before Judge Butt
that: “From the best of his knowl
edge and belief, Foster Blodgett is
guilty of being a common cheat aud
swindler, in tliis:
“That the said Foster Blodgett, in
said county, on the —day of Septem
her, October, November aijd Decem
ber, 1870, did, as Superintendant of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
sign a certain paper, the same being a
druf. in f.tvor of ‘The Tennessee (J ir
Company’for the sum of $32 540,10
aud purporting to be in payment far
cars for use of said Western and At
lantic Railroad—he g, at the
time, said “Tennessee Car Company”
had no existance ill fact, and that said
cars never were furnished to said
Road by said company:
“Aud the said Foster Blodgett, as
Superintend a lit of said road, did sigu
up to E. A. Pan!, of Washington City,
a certain paper, the same being a
“passed bill,” No. 2. dated June IG,
1871, for the sum of SGOO 00, and on
winch paper s: id amount of money
was paid by the W. Sc A. R. R.—said
Blodgett knowing that sa;d Paul was
in no way connected with said road as
an employe, but was an attache ot
the Chronicle —a pap r published at
his, the said Paul’s, place of residence,
and said Blodgett knowing that said
Paul had rendered no service whatev
er to the Western aud Atlantic Rail
road :
“Ad that the said Blodgett did

“By and through all of which means,

reyt. Chas. P. McCalla.
“Sworn to and subscribed before

Whereupon Judge Butt issued a
warrant for Blodgett’s arrest, which
was. late last evening placed in the
the Uaud i oi Constable J. R. Thomp
son, who preceded to the residence of
the accused anil effected his arrest,

I g' tt surrendering himself to the same,

some time pusi) and was allowed by
' ■fiis er x kompsoii to remain at his
house on his own l'eog-mznice, and to
appear before Judge Unit tins morn
ing at 9 o clock. *
Here we have some inbight into the
Way a man who claims the once exal
ted position of a seat in the United
States Senate, has been spending the
money of the duwu-troddeu and op
pressed tax payers of Georgia.
It is believed that tins mythical
“Tennessee Car Company” lias some
connection with the Kimball sleeping
car company. What grounds exist
for this belief, We do nor, know.
It seems also that Foster has been
paying Stute Road money to a m m
connected with the same corrupt sheet
! : iu Washington, to which Bullock paid
very Targe suifi.j of money—some $14,-
000 or other large ainouut—for print
| ing editor mi articles of Bullock’s pre
| paratioo, when he wis trying to in
duce Congress to Htill further press
the iron heel of bayonet despotism iu
to the vit ds of our people, iu order to
j pro.ong aud augment his own power,
to ba ix mined tor his own hehisu pur
; jMsee. 4 o-ter, i& .-see;us, this beeiF us

I likely to represent the people of Geor

luese grave charges, to restrain the
iodiguation which rises up in torrents
whenever we tumk of how the people
of Georgia have been robbed by these
vampyies, clothed with a little brief
auiuonty. Let the law be fairly aJ
uiimsi.ered.
That charge of “appropriating” an
iron safe to Blodgett’s own use and
substituting, on a “passed bill," other
articles winch were not delivered to
tue li ad, is a very serious one on a
small scale, aud if established, will
show ad pth of moral depravity ami
rottenness in his heart which will

Last evening at 4 o’clock, according
to previous appointment, Foster Blodg

In calling public attention to this little ma
chine, a lew ol tlie invaluable qualities, (not
possessed by any otner Washing Machine yet
invented,) are here enumerated.
it is the smallest, most compact, most porta
ble, most simple in construction, most easily
operated. A child ten years old, with a tew
hours practice, can thoroughly comprehend
ana effectually use it. There is no adjusting,
no screws toauuoy, no delay in adapting ! 1c
is alwaysready for use ! It is a perfect little
wonder ! It is a miniature giant, doing more
work and of a beuer quality, thail* the most
elaborate aud costly, one half of the labor is
saved by its use, and the clothes will last one
hall longer than by the old plan of the rub
board. It will wasbtue largest blanket. Three
shuts at a tune, washing thoroughly! In a
word, the ablution of any labile, from a Quilt
to a Lace-Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief,
are equally within the capacity of this little
OEM! It can be fastened to any tub and taken
oil - at will.
No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines, the moment
tins litae machine is seen to perform us won
ders, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and
utility are banished, aud the doubter and de
tractor at once become the fast iriemts ot the

We have testimonials without end, setting
forth its numerous advantages over all others,
and from hundreds who nave thrown aside the
unwieldy, useless machines, winch nave signal

it is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for

that it is within the reach of every housekeeper,
and there is no article of domestic economy
that will repav the small investment so soon.
