MASS MEETING PLAN.
O. H. Williams, Esq., moved the adop
tion of a resolution, which, after amend
ments by different gentlemen, and they
being accepted, read as follows:
“Be it resolved by the Democratic Party
of Muscogee, That the Chairman of this
meeting call a
MASS MEETING,
to be held at the Court House on Satur
day, the 15th Inst., at 12 o’olook, for the
purpose of nominating fonr delegates to
the Congressional Convention, and can
didates for members of the Legislature.”
DELEGATE PLAN.
J. M. McNeil, Esq., offered a resolu
tion, which, after amendment, read as
follows:
Resolved, “That it is the sense of this
meeting that the plan most practicable
and just for selecting delegates to the
CoiAgressional Convention is the follow
ing : That the Democratic party in eaoh
of the Country Militia Districts of the
connty, should meet at their respective
court grounds at 10 o’clock a. m., on
Tuesday, the 11th inaL, and proceed to
select, by ballot, four delegates from each
of their respective Districts; that the
meetings of the Upper and Lower Town
Districts shall be held at eight
o’olook on the evening of the
same day—the Upper Town at —,
and the Lower Town at the court house,
and shall proceed by ballot (or some other
popular plan) to select ten delegates for
each of the Town Districts ; that all the
delegates so elected meet at the court
house on Saturday, August 15th, at 12
o’olook M., and proceed to nominate the
four delegates to which the county is en
titled in the Congressional Convention ;
also, to nominate candidates for the Leg
islature.”
LONG, BUT FRIENDLY, DEBATE
followed, nil parties being desirous of se
curing that plan which would best secure
the choice of the people.
0. H. Williams, Esq., Colonel A. H.
Chappell, Judge Porter Ingram, J. M.
Russell, Esq., Davis Androws, Captain W.
A. Little, L. F. Garrard, Dr. E. F. Colzey
and Colonel Wilkins favored a mass meet
ing, oontending that such a course would
give less dissatisfaction and bring the
question before the people; that those
who ware not present had only themselves
to blame and could not complain; that by
the district plan the beat meetings could
be, and had been, stocked by a few men;
that delegates from them were pledged to
vote for particular candidates; that the
records had been lost, sod. the districts
were not well defined, and residents oould
vote in two or more; that one district
had a oourt house outside its limits while
another had two ; that a mao had been
sued in three districts and the suit defeated
beoaose be proved want of jurisdiction;
that the mass system was the old Demo
cratic plan for county nominations and
that of chosing delegates an innovation
ainoe the war; that by the mass plan and at
the hour named,coootrymen andall classes
oould attend for an hour and attend to
their political interest*; that the objeot
of making email counties in Georgia was
that all might meet at oourt houses and at
tend to publio affairs of the county.

between the two plans, and proposed to
leave to tke Exeontive Committee the de
termination of the best plan after oonsnl-
tation, and hence be moved to adjourn.
The motion, by request, he withdrew.

Though the debate was longand variant
the best of good feeling prevailed, and
the united body seemed determined to

The convention will secure the favorites

their duties.”
adjourned;
The Convention then adjourned.
PROSPECTS FLATTBRfXG.
The roed, one of the best eonetrnoted
in the country, is completed to Kelley ton,
fifty-three miles from Opelika. There is
enough iron to finish up the sixtieth mile,
whioh point will be reached by October.
Negotiations are oq foot to finish the re
maining twenftjHfi*miles to Childersbnrg,
on the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad.
Over half this distance is graded.
When completed to Childersbnrg, Co
lumbus will be as near Chattanooga, via
this road, the Selma, Rome and Dalton
and the State Road, as she now is via
Atlanta.
As eaoh mile is finished the oompany
gains strength, and the faot beoomes
more clearly developed that this is to be
the great trunk road of the South. Parties
in New York are working hard for it, as
they are large stockholders.
After Ohildersburg, Birmingham, 33$
miles distant in an air-line, and 41 miles
by the route for the road, is the next
point. There communication is made
•loser with Louisville and tho West.
Over one hundred miles further brings
connection with Corinth on the Mobile
and Ohio It. R., and then there is a grand
trunk roaa between St. Louis and Savan
nah In a direct lino, with which no other
can compete—a lino which runs through
the riohest mineral region of earth.
This is the only new line in the South
which has advanced since the p&nio.
BENEFITS TO COLUMBUS.
Though Columbus has $100,000 in this
enterprise, she has as yet reaped little
benefit; but immense advantages await
her future. We will yet get cheep ooal,
iron, copper and marble for our manufac
turers. Superintendent Bull, the indefat
igable and intelligent Superintendent of
the Western Railroad of Alabama, has
shown ha runs his trains for the interests
of his company, and not for Montgomery,
aa was dono in the days antedating the
administration of Col. Fore aero. Can lie
not so arrange a train as to make close
oonneotion with the Savannah A Memphis
Road, so as to allow the up-country peo
ple to come here and examine our facili
ties for business ? By so doing ho would
aid one of the most important cities on
his line, aud benefit his own corporation.
The Last Gift Concert Postponed.
The announcement of the postpone
ment of the last gift oonoert of the Pub
lio Library of Kentucky will not surprise
tho publio. Ia Governor Bremlette’s
oard, published below, he gives reasons
for it whioh will be accepted without
question by every one. The manage
ment in this instance, consulting the in
terests of tloket-holders and those de
signing to beoouie ticket-holders, have
not waited until the last day to make this
announcement, but just as soon aa they
beoame satisfied of the necessity of this
postponement, have promptly made the
announcement. It is unnecessary to re
view the causes which have necessitated
this action, as they are fully reoited in
Governor Bramlette’s card. The prompt
ness and frankness with whioh the publio
have been made aware of the intention of
the manager will meet with the hearty
commendation of every one and exoite
suoh a new interest and confidence in the
seheme and the ability of the manager to
perform wbat hq promises, that there oan
be no doubt that on tho day specified the
last oonoert will be a full one.
POSTPONEMENT LAST GIFT OONOERT—A OARD
TO THE PUBLIO.
The announcement of the postpone
ment of the fifth and last concert of the
Publio Library of Kentuoky to the 3l)th
November, I am satisfied, will surprise
few and disappoint none of tha friends
and patrons of the enterprise. Indeed,
any other course would create dissatisfac
tion. With a precedent of a postpone,
ment of eaoh of the four concerts which
have already been given, the publio have
very naturally aud reasonably expected
that in this, by far the largest scheme of
the series and the largest ever offered to
the world, the same course would be fol
lowed, and thore are thousands all over
the country who are only waiting for the
setting of a certain fixed day for the
drawing before sending in thoir orders.
The sales of tickets to this date have
been highly satisfactory, and a large
drawing might be had on the 81st July,
but feeling assured that a short postpone
ment would eusble us to close out the
remainder of the tiokets and make the
drawing a full one, we have adopted the
course which has evidently been anticipa
ted, and whioh must eventuate most sat
isfactorily for all.
Now that the day of the drawing is ab
solutely determined, there remains no
further occasion for delay, and I would
urge the friends of the enterprise, who
intend to purchase tickets, to send in
their orders, as it will tax my offloe to ito
utmost capacity to accomplish all that is
to ba done in the short time which re
mains for the sale of tickets.

The committee went to Maoon, and had
a conference with the Central Railroad
offioers. Columbus wanted oonneotion
with Macon via Borneoville (tho Maoon
and Western Railroad, then oalled tho
Mnnroe Railroad, was being extended to
Atlanta). The Central road, however,
wanted a direct lino to Columbus. L. O.
Reynolds, surveyor of the Central, re
ported the distance between Barnoavillo
and Columbus seventy-two miles, and be
tween Maoon aud Columbus little less
than oue hundred. The cost of both
would be about the same—$1,000,000.
The result was that President R. R. Cay-
ler and the Board advocated the lower
line, aud looked to a oonneotion with tho
Montgomery rood at Auburo, to which
point it had been extended. The Board
recommended to the stockholders of the
Ceutral Railroad: To ask an amendment
of the charter to extend the road to Co
lumbus ; to authorise a new subscription
of $1,000,000 (one-fourth to be paid on
subscribing) for that purpose. If that be
not adopted, to incorporate a new oompa
ny to bnild a road from the Central Rail
road to Columbos by the lower route. If
application be made by others for a char
ter from Barneaviile to Columbus, no op
position or unfriendly feeling to be exhib
ited against it. If both charters be
granted, an understanding may be had by
which one of th# two projects may be
carried on and the other abandoned.
Subsequently the Legislature incorporated
the Muscogee Railroad Company; also, to
ohauge the name of the Munroe Railroad
to Macon and Western, with power to ex
tend a branoh to Columbus.
