We are requested to place in nomi nation, before the Senatorial ('(inven tion, the name of HON. WM. M. TUMLIN, of Randolph. S«uatort;il IMUdct Conven tion. We suggest to the voters of Olay, Randolph and Terrell counties that a Convention be called to meet at Daw aon on the 14th inst., at 10} o’clock, a. m., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the Senate from the •leventh Senatorial District. What say Randolph and Clay? Dfinorrilii 1 Jlcdins. Tne Democratic party of Terrell county are requested to meet at the Court-house in Dawson on Monday, 11th inst., at 10 o’clock, a. m., for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Becond Congressional District Conven tion to meet in Albany on the 21st inst., and to nominate a candidate for the Legislature. Let every one see to it that there be a full meeting. For tli«< S«nale. We are informed by Hon. C. B. Wooten that his business is such as to preclude all possibility of his accept ing the candidacy for the Senate from thia district. In case he persists in this conclusion, we suppose that Ran dolph or Clay will want the Senator. Let us hare a goo 1 man, an available man, and one who has a clear record. If Clay and Randolph can’t furnish the candidate, wo are happy to say that Terrell has the man that will fIU the bill in every particular. liU'.iiic'Mi is BiKini'ie. All announcements bringing to notice particular individuals as candi dates for any oflfi -e, and all announce ments as candidates for office is strict ly personal business and will bo charg ed for at regvrlar rates, and prepay ment required if not otherwise agreed OR. €'O.V(*IiU!»SIO.YI it. In a communication from “citizen” to be found in another column, the name of one of our fellow citizens, lion. C. B. Wooten is recommended to the voters of the second Congress ional district as altogether worthy of their support in the approaching election for member to Congress. We endorse the views of “citizen” in toto as regards the honorable Senator's qualifications, and while wo would bo glad to lend our columns, and give our influence to make him our next representative in Congress, we expect to acquiesce in the action of the con vention, believing that that body will look to nothing hut the good of the Democratic party, and the country in the selection of a candidate. Candidates. As individuals, wo may have our particular favorites for candidates for the- Legislature, but believe that this is no time for favorites, and will ad vocate the ticket that may be regular ly nominated. We suggest that there t>e district meetings held, aud dele gates selected to meet at tho Court Mouse in county conventions, at such time as may be agreed on, for the purpose of putting before the public one ticket, and only one for the lower branch of the Legislature. If we look to tho interest of the counties in which wo live, we will not allow personal prejudices to enter into the deliberations of our county meet ings, and we trust that such will not be the case ; for if any other end is to be subserved than that of the good of the country, we may look for such di visions as will result in the defeat of the Democratic nominess. Recollect, friends, shat the Good Hook says, “a house divided against itself cannot stand.” So it is with the Democratic party in South-western Georgia ; if we be divided on account of personal preferences or from auy other cause wo may look to be repretea ted iu our next Legislature by a carpet-bagger;’ scalawag, or gentleman of color, of Radical persuasion. Let thero be harmony, and let us all unite on one ticket, and put our should r to the wheel and as sure as right ever pre vailed over wrong, so sure will we bear aloft in victory the banner of Democ racy, at the election in November. Second District Coxgressiona l Convention —At a meeting of the del egates from the Second Congressional District in attendance on the Democ ratic Convention, held in Atlanta on the 17th instant, it was made my duty therewith, and in accordance therewith I hereby call a convention of the Demo aratic party of said district, to bo hold at Albany, on the 21st day of Septem ber, 187 b, at 10 o clock a. m., to nomi nate candidates for Congress, Each county will send delegates equal to double the number of Rep resentatives to tho House of Repre sentatives. Arthur Hood Chairman fCommunicatcil. Roue, Ga., Aug, 30tli 1870. Dear Journal: I lmvo commenced a dozen limes to write you from this point hut invariably something has turned up to prevent. This time I hope to be able to send you some thing. Rome is a place of considerable size, having it is supposed, between live and six thousand inhabitants.— Its situation is a mast happy and beautiful ouo,lying in a groon and fer tile valley,surrounded by picturesque mountains washed on the right liy the waters of the Oostanaula and on the left by those of tho Etowah, tho con fluence of which two rivers is inline-' (liately at the foot of the principal (Broad) street. Romo an l her scen- ery present an appearance at mice in teresting and captivating. Commer cially it lias every facility for, and there are many reasons why it should soon become a city of very considerable im portance. Capital, however, is scarce, energy is sadly wanting, while public spirited citizens here are certainly net more numerous than tho soldiery of Prussia. Those three great ossentials might, you know, accomplish anything —might build a World’s Metropolis on the sau ly desert, but if tlioy could be combined in Rome, we’d have a city here that would put New York to blush, and for which Atlanta would not make a respectable “West End.” As it is, I cannot predict the probable future of the place, though I believe it will continue slowly to grow (and this, if it bs the case, will be attribu tibleoitlyto its natural endowments) until, aftor years, it will rank amongst the largest of Georgia’s cities. We have two railroads now in oper ation—tho Rome Rail Road, which connects us with the State Road at Kingston, twenty miles distant, and the Selma, Rome & Dalton Road, liav ]”ir the route indicated by its name.— This road has but recently been com pleted to Dultod, an ) is in a prosper ous and flourishing condition, lhen we have a project on foot to build a road from some point near ChattanoO ga to this place, to he known as tho Memphis Branch. Tho house of Rep resentatives voted us State aid to tnis enterprise the other day, and there is little doubt but that tho Senate will concur. It is also probable we will have a road from Columbus. A com pletion of these enterprises would make us a great railroad centre, and add largely to our manufacturing fa cilities and interest. The Coosa River, formed by the j unction of the rivers beforo mentioned, is navigable a distance of one hun dred and sixty, or more, miles, and steamboats float from tho wharf at Romo to within twenty miles of tho Alabama River. By removing the few obstructions in that part of the River, we could have direct water communication with Mobile. This will, no doubt, eventually bo done.— Tho manufacturing interest hero is already somewhat extensive; we have several large machine shops, rolling mills, foundries, furniture factories flouring mills etc. Rome boasts of three daily newspapers. Money is “tight,” and in consequence of the cheapness of wheat and other produce tho farmers are withholding it from tho market, therefore it is not likely wo will have much money in cir culation soon. Crops in Cherokee were n< ver better, aud it is predicted corn will not be worth exceeding fifty cents. Tho farmers hero have planted largely of cotton and as a general thing it looks well, consider ing the climate and latitude. Politi cally our citizens are mixed, morally, ditto, there though is ratlior more of immorality than thero is of radicalism; religiously you can find them of every conceivable denomination, all, how ever, conceeding a large majority to the “big church”. Asa general thing you do not find that liberality, hospi tality aud sociability here that char acterizes the people of South Western Georgia, and a young man hero with out capital and indomitable persever ance stands indeed a “poor showing;” and has withall a “hard road to trav el ” At last, Mr. Edito;, I believe yours is the best country on earth, and if I owned the world Id build my* pal ace somewhere in the neighborhood of Dawson. Respectfully, D. 23F“The residence of Charles Dick ens, at Gadshill, has been purchased b}' Charles Dickens the younger, for the sum of six thousand pounds ster ling, or $33,000 in gold. The house was described by the auctioneer as very commodious, and in perfect re pair, containing eight bed rooms, two servants s bed-rooms, a dining-room, a handsome conservatory, and a small billiard room. The grounds comprised over seventeen acres and a half. Tho Swiss chalet, or cottage, which had been presented to Mr. Dickens, was not detached from the property, al though it was stated an American gen tleman would have paid a liberal price for it. A plat of eight acres of land, forming part of the estate, was also bought by Mr. Dickens, the younger for $7,500. Cominunlcntc«l. Senate Ciiamrkk. ) Anlanta Ga., Aug, 24th 1870. $ Messrs Editors: Will you please give mo space in your widely circulated paper to bring before tho citizens of Georgia, and especially tho people of the second Congressional District, tho name of one of Georgia’s rfiost gifted sons as a suitable person to represent Us in the Congress of tho United States.— In the selection of a candidate duo re gard should bo had to qualification ; and whilst wo have many good and true men in tho District, we should remember that firmness is not the only prerequisite as a qualification. I think 1 shall only speak the voice of tho whole people when I say that the State should he ropresontatod by one well acquainted with parliamentary law, and gifted with the powers of argument. Our people have been so long and so frequently misrepresented that erroneous impressions have been made hard to he eradicated; yet it is of vital importance to the State of Georgia that true light should be had and truth mantained. This great work cannot be accomplished by any ordinary man and should not be un dertaken unless by ono capable of faithfully and ably performing! tho same. This being my own dis trict I have been casting about in my mind for the coming man, and without wishing to disparage the claim of any friends who may have aspiration in that direction, I will take the liber-! ty of suggosting the name of Hon. C. B. Wooten. I have seen much of him as a legislator for tho last three sessions of tho General Assembly and must say that his dignified demeanor, and his powers of argumentation have so borno upon me that I am prepared to say that if ho should be elected to Congress from the second district our people would be in safe hands. Mr. Wooten is a gentleman in every particular. Educated, refined—skilled in parliamentary usages, strong in de bate, his voice will be replete with power. Moderate in his manner of denouncing men and measures, is free from exciting passion in the mind of his opponents. Courteous never fail ing to win tho respect ol those differ ing with him, —I should indeed be pleased to seo his name hoisted as tho national representative of our Dis trict. Iu writing this communication I make no war upon the claim of any one and shall cheerfully cooperate with my party in electing any one placed before us as a candidate. Citizen. The School liill. Tho following synopsis of tho Schooll Bill is taken from the Augus ta Chronicle & Sentipel: The Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller Gen eral and State School Commissioner aro to constitute a board to be denomi nated “The Georgia State Board of Ed ucation.” Os this board, tho State School Commissioner is the executive officei, and his clerk, tho secretary.— Tho said clerk is provided with a sala ry of not exceeding S2OO per annum. The State School Commissioner ap pointed by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate (as the Consti tution directs,) shall have a salary of $2,500 per annum. All his necessa ry traveling expenses incurred in the performance of his official duties, post age and incidental exponses arising in his office, shall be paid out of the Treasury in the manner as the differ ent departments of the Government. He is required to keep an itemized ac count of all expenses connected with his department, which account must he audited by the State Board. The State Road liolds lands, etc.,for educational purposes in trust for the State, and is required forthwith to pay over to tho State Treasurer, for safe keeping, all monies, personal property, etc., accuring by devise, grant, or gift. The General Assem bly may invest such money in the name of the State. The School fund is to be kept sacred for educational purposes. The State Treasurer is held, upon his bond, for such monies, etc. Tho State Board prescribes, from time to time, what text books and books of reference shall be used in tho common schools; and is required to lay before the Legislature annually a detailed aecouut of the acts and do ings of said Board. THE STATE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER shall visit tho schools throughout the State as often as possible and practica ble, and in so doing will examino into the condition of the schools, superin tend and encourage teachers’ insti tutes, and deliver lectures on topics calculated to subserve the interests of j popular education. It is his duty to j apportion to the school districts the ' school revenue raised by law. In a word, ho is to exercise a minute su pervision over the whole system—to, note its defects and suggest remedies therefor. COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. Each and every county is to have a Board of Education, composed of one member from each militia district and ward in any city or county— elected by the legal voters at the reg ular election for members of the Gen eral Assembly—to hold office for two j’ears. Each board ceetson the first Tuesday of the month succeeding that of their election, and shall organize b3' electing one of their number Presi dent, and a suitable person Socretan- which last mentioned officer, by said election, becomes County Continsslon or or Superintindent. The Board meets monthly. At their first meeting they shall carefully lay out; and de scribe sub-school districts throughout their county; establish schools of va rious grades, have tho care and custo dy of all houses, sites, libraries; may sue and ho sued; receive grants, etc., and manage tho same in tho interests of the schools; employ, pay and dis miss teachers; build, repair and fur nish school houses and make all nec essary provisions for said schools. THE cor NT Y COMMISSIONER examined, in tho presence of the Board, applicants for teachers’ posi tions, and issue license of first, sscond Or third grade according to the ratio of correct answers lie is authorized to revoke licenses for incomptency, im morality, cruelty, or neglect of du ty. Teachers have tho right of appeal to tho Board whose decision is filial unless an appeal is made to tho Stato School Commissioner within ten days after dismissal. He is to receive a per diem of §3 for each day in his oliicial duties. The County Board is empowered to fix tho num ber of days in each year in which the said county commissioner shall labor. SCHOOL DIRECTORS OR TRUSTEES. The lentil voters in each sub-district shall elect on tho first Saturday in Jan uary in each year, three School Trus tees—one tor three years, one for two years, and one for ono year—an nually thereafter ono trustoo shall be elected for three years. They visit the schools twice each term “They are co-adjutors of the County Board and through them full statisics, etc., are obtained. Tho only paid officers, are the County Commissioners and teachers in each county; the State School Commissioner and his clerk. County Boards may, at their discre tion, up n their respective fields, pro vide a suitable number of evenitur schools for the instruction of youth over fourteen years of age, who aro prevented by their daily occupatiou from attending day scliuols. AMBULATORY SCHOOLS. Wherever three militia districts are ! found near each other, containing not less than 15 children of the school age, provision shall he made whereby : school may bo kept in each two: months in the year. This is to be ae- j complished by what are known as ambulatory or circuit teachers. SEPERATE SCHOOLS. The trustrees are required to make all necessary arrangements for the in struction of the white and colored youth iu separate schools. The same facilities shall bo provided for each.— ‘But the children of the white and colored races shall not be taught to gether in any sub-district of the State Uuil'ss at a regular school meeting of said disu.'ct, h*ld for the purpose, it shall bo so determined, by a majority of the legal voters of the vrhite race and majority of the legal voters ol the colored race. TnE COMMON SCJIOOL FUND. The pool tax, special tax on shows ' and exhibitions, spiritous and malt liquors, commutation of military ser vice, endowments, devises, bequests i and gifts made or to be made to the j State, and all educational funds and in- | comes not belonging to or duo the ; State University, and tho net earnings ' of the State Road are set apart as the common school fund. The State Board determines the amount necessary to bo raised by taxation annually in addition to the foregoing and reports the esti mate to the General Assembly. County Boards are not prevented from levyieg, as is now the case, a special county tax upon the Stato tax for educational purposes- The Agricultural Pursuits of Prus sia.—Tho withdrawal of so many men from agricultural and other pursuits, by the war between France aud Prus sia, will not, it is stated, produce as much material loss as might be sup posed, since in both the countries mentioned out-door labor is to a great extent performed by females. In Prussia, at tho pressent time not only peasant woman, but females of the middle classes are gathering in their harvests, guarding the flocks and doing field work. For many years women have been employed in Prus sia as station agents and signal officers on the railroads; and, if necessity re quired, women, no doubt, could act as conductors on tho trains. The call for troops has brought out only men un der forty years, and it is estimated that fully a million of able-bodied Prussians could be placed under arms in addition to the seven hundred thousand now in the field. Under these circumstances, it is believed that there are men and women in Prussia in sufficient numbers to perform agri cultural labor, so that the population will not suffer from want of food.
