Crisp for congress was held at the court house here to- day with Judge C. L. Battle as ehair- and J. R. Williams, Secretary. On motion 0. R. MeCrorv, was called upon to explain the object of«the meeting, to which call he responded in an eloquent and effectual man¬ ner stating in substance that the meeting was called for the purpose of giving the citizens an opportuni¬ ty in a body to express their senti¬ ments relative to the recent publi¬ cation which appeared in the Sum¬ ter Republican on the congressional issue. On motion of Col. W. H. McCrory the chair appointed a committee of six todraught suitable resolutions which motion on being amended by Capt. Itobt. Patton in this that the chair appoint three from the town district and one from eacli of the other districts and that each one present sign the resolution which motion as amended was unainously carried, VV’hereupon the chair appointed J. N. Cheney, W. D. Murray and VV. H. McCrory of the Ellaville district, Daniel Kilcreasc, (Nubbin Hill district,) S. T. Harper, Lickskillet district,J. H. B. Mauk, Bumphead district. The committee then retired and In a few minutes returned with i lie follow ing resolutions which were unanimous¬ ly adopted. Whereas. The Sumter Repub¬ lican after repeated denials by Judge Crisp and his friends persists in charging him witli being a mem- be of a loyal league and Whereas said paper also de¬ nounces all supporters ot Judge Crisp as favoring a Republican Which charges are false. Re it resolved by the citizens of JSehley county, whose names are hereunto attached, denounce the course which that paper has pursued in the congressidnal campaign and that so many of us, as are subscrib¬ ers to that paper will discontinue our support in future, for the protec¬ tion of Hon. C. F. Crisp Ourselves and the Democratic party. Resolved furthur that we will support lion. C. F. Crisp for con¬ gress and use all honourable means to insure his nomination and elec¬ tion.

I.OKI)0>. A lestlins Editorialof the Augusta < hronicle on the G allant Hero. The Daily Constitution of 24th of last month very kindlv reproduces Hon. Pat Walsh, Eulogy on Gen. Gordon. It speaks for itself. Read it and draw your own conclusions, It is a mystery to us why a man that writes like him, can go back on his own written meadaof to sucli a man as Gen. Gordon. it i true The following beautiful tribute to General Gordon is from the ta Chronicle of Friday May 21st ]m ^ h . adinK editorial of ... the < ... hronicle , of that day, and . was written on liis resignation from the United Ntates senate. It was reproduced * in yesterday’s J Constitu- tion without credit, and created considerable comment. It will bably be more Interesting when it is known that it is from the pen of Hon. Patrick Walsh. It is as fol¬ lows : “About three months ago Hon. John B. Gordon informed the writ- er that he would soon retire from public life. The statement made an impression upon our mind, but we hardly regarded it as other than a passing whim; it was, however, founded in fact, as the event certi¬ fies. Whatever it may have been to the few who knew of the senators intention to the masses it was a ,, ^ enu j neM ouree 0 f surprise ’ mingled ^ w ; . “The iM>rofou-.d . public . regret. career of John B. Gordon n a \ has v been one of t marvellous M brilliancy. From a subaltern in the confederate , , . states . . army . he rapidly ... rose to . the .. highest ,, , . commands, % and, a with the possible exceptions of Lee I andJackson.nonameinthemilita- ry annals of the south had a more splendid record. He not only seized intutively, like “that heaven born # genius,” Clive, upon the supreme points grand st rategy, but he led the attack in person, and bears upon his manly body many scars, all of which he can proudly point to, as Corli- lanus did, and say,‘Each gash was an enemy’s grave.’ To have complished what he did in war, by skill and valor, and not by political influence, proves an intellect born to command, and qualities that the world always has and always will admire. Faithful to the last, and to the very last displaying his heroic spirit and energetic nature, it was most natural tiiat a grateful people “when the w ar drum ceased to rattle,” look to him for council and leadership. He was in 1863, perhaps the best beloved and trust¬ ed of Georgians, and the men who followed his meteorsword, flashing in the equally trying days that came with the furling of the flags of arm¬ ed strife, but not the black flag of radical hate, vengeance and un¬ friendly legislation. He had sheath¬ ed his good blade, but loyalty to the union did not require of him allegi¬ ance to the Jacobiu horde that sought the inversion of our social pyramid, the robbery of our proper¬ ty and rights, and the “circumven¬ tion of God.” Against that assail- inent of organized wealth and intellect, in league with denset bar¬ barism, he spoke and struggled. Against a system of oppression con¬ cocted in Washington and engineer¬ ed by the civic and military arm of the government, he roused the peo¬ ple, marshalled them at the polls and then to a victory of which he and they wore shamefully and delib¬ erately swindled. No one believes that Bullock was fairly elected gov¬ ernor of Georgia, but all know that John B. Gordon was. Nothing daunted, he continued the contest in the forum of reason, and while rally¬ ing his people to an honest belief in the union, he kept them against that free power which a menace to the true government the fathers and the kneli of liberty as well. When the day of ance came, a grateful elected him to the senate of United States, despite the tremen¬ dous competition of Hon. A. H. Stephens and Hon. B. H. Hill, those intellectual giants^ who had had much more experience in the adroit ways of political life, out who could not overcome the simple eloquence preux chevalier of the south and the pride of Georgia. A second term in the senate was accorded him almost without ah effort and with a unanimity unprecedented in our history. He has borne himself as a senator as he beffp himself as a warrior—proudly <&nd creditably. Mistakes of judgment he may have made, as all men make, hut recent events have demonstrated that he has won the respect and confidence of the best men among his com- peers, and that whenever the honor and glory of his state were concern- ed, he was in no sense inferior to the trust or unequal to the emer- gency ’ “That such anian should, in such a year, voluntarily abandon his seat in the senate is not only a matter that excites astonishment, but also provokes universal sorrow. A seat in the senate is very 'properly con- sidered as, next to the presidency, the prize most coveted by states- and a to , i be yielded . : only , , by men, one c mpulsion. The resignation of Hon. J-Hin P. King is the memorable stance for comparison, and ho, too, after meeting Calhoun himself sue- ces.sfu 1 ly, withdrew from that grand position in ortier to confine himself k* private affairs. That these two men, in the very blossom of their <»“>'*. *»‘ouUl, of their own motion surrender th.* aenatorship, Is a proof, we think, that they were not con- I sumed w ith the fierce thirst for power, as so many men have been, ttre » * n< l ever "’ill be. “Intu hI * retirement General | don will be followed by theatiection, ple'oMieorgia'^who'm hehas'loved hear so well and who will always his success, In any pursuit, with ex- seeding gladness. \Ve do not bid pjo him farewell, hut Ood speed.

Our young people arc waiting patiently for the time to come, when Miss Mi’tie may present herself be¬ fore them at Pine Academy. We are pained to learn of the death of two of our noble young friends Blakeley Kilcrea.se and Thomas Wallace.

Twelve millions of insurance; Five thousand members; Eight years’ incontestable experience; Guaranteed and policies; Cash assets and indemnity reserve of $250,000; Expenses limited handled by contract; Mor¬ tality funds exclusively by Trust Co.; Four fixed payments a year—one for expenses and three for mortality; The lowest death rate of any Life Company in America; Cash surrender values or policies rendered self-sustaining at end of life expectation; Saving of 50 per cent in cost of insurance and abso¬ lute security, are points to which we call special attention. The business of the Fidelty is twice as much as it was in 1884, and the death rate is not any larger now, in ! proportion to the amount at risk,than it was five years ago. Ex-Governor Hartrant, of Pennsyvania, isorgan- izing a Mutual Company in Phila- delaphia, and is consulting L.
