Cartersville Convention.
We learn from our delegates that the
Congressional nominating Convention,
at Cartersville on Tuesday was character
ized by the utmost harmony. Gen.
Young received the nomination for the
41st and 42d Congress with little or no
opposition.
Col. L. N. Trammell w.ls the choice
of the delegates from the Senatorial
District composed of Gordon, Whitfield
and Murray counties.
Both good and true men. Now let
us see to it that they arc elected.
The Convention on the 24th.
Let there he a full turn out of the
Democracy on the 24th of September,
to nominate a candidate for the House
of Representatives, and county officers.
The men nominated on that day will be
elected, and the citizens of the county
should sec to it that the right kind of
men arc put in the field.
Don’t stay at home, and then after
the nomination growl about the nominee.
Come out yourself and take a hand in
the nomination.
Let us have no bickerings or attempts
to control the meeting in the interest of
one or more men ; but let the voice of
the people be heard.

The Primitive Baptist Associa
tion began its session at Harmony
Church, near Calhoun, on Saturday. A
goodly number were in attendance from
other parts of the State.
We return thanks to Secretary
Peacock for a “complimentary” to the
Fair of the Bartow county Agricultural
Association for this year, which com
mences the 4th of October. Avery
large delegation will doubtless be on
band from Gordon county.
County Agricultur
al Fair is open to the world; any and
everybody who has Stock, Machinery,
Products of any and all kinds, or any
thing else they may w r ish to exhibit,
may be entered. The Fair commences
on Tuesday, the 4th, and ends on Fri
day, the Bth, October proximo.
Celebration at Adairsville.
We were one of the fortunate few who
went from Calhoun to the Adairs
ville Sunday School celebration; and
f;hall never regret such a trip. The
schools of Adairsville and Kingston
■were out in full force, and large delega
tions were on hand from several other
schools.
More than two hours were spent in
speech-making and some of the most de
lightful music we have heard in many a
day. Speeches were delivered by Rev.
Mr. Moreland, Rev. Mr. Oliver, Rev.
John W. Baker, of Marietta, and a little
one addressed to the little children by a
little editor.
After this, came a basket dinner,
which was discussed with earnestness by
everybody. We liavn’t got good hun
gry since.
Altogether the day was spent most
pleasantly, and will ever be in our mem
ory as a refreshing fountain in the desert.
Unfortunate.
It was certainly a very unfortunate
day for the Georgia Democracy when
lion. Linton Stephens published his let
ter, giving the opinion that candidates
for Cuogrcss should be nominated with
out regard to the question of eligibility
under the iron-clad legislation of Con
gress. It must necessarily spring dis
cussion upon a point heretofore general
ly considered settled by the party, and a
point too, which is calculated to breed
anything but that harmony which is so
much to be desired by all true Demo
crats just now. Already many leading
men and journals are divided on this
question, aad we hope for the sake of
harmony and the triumph of democratic
principles all over the country, that the
advice of Mr. Stephens will not be act
4;d upon by any district in the State.
Special Dispatch to the Constitution.
Washingson ; Sept. 10.—No mem
ber of Congress who cannot take iron
clad oath will be admitted.
Mr. Stephens’ advice will ge fatal if
followed.
We respectfully urge the nomination
of only such as can take that oath.
Sam. J. Randall, Ch’n.
Oo let iiou pe Uni ver sit y . —The

settled that the regular session of Ogle
thorpe College will be held in that city,
commencing on the Ith day of October.
Rome.
We spent a portion of two days last
week in the “ City of Hills.” We found
that “fodder pulling time” affected
that place as much as our own, and
business generally was pretty dull;
although we saw business men and
goods enough to do a smashing trade.
In fact, Messrs Colclou£h, Ilarkina &
Glover, whose card appears in this
week’s paper, have goods enough to
carry on the dry goods trade of two or
three small towns for some time; and
yet have only received a part of their
stock.
Mr. Harkins of this firm who is con
ceded to be one of the most experienc
ed and prudent buyers in the country,
had just returned from the Eastern
markets, where he laid in a stock for
the wholesale trade of Cherokee Geor
gia. Their goods were bought by the
case; their stock is probably the largest
ever brought this side the ehattahooehie,
and they propose to job goods at exactly
New York prices.
In the drug line we found Messrs.
W. D. Hoyt & Cos., the most energetic,
enterprising and clever firm in the city,
as evinced by their advertisement in
another column. This is one of the
oldest and most reliable drug houses in
the State, and the physicians and dealers
of this section could not send their or
ders to better hands. Their Stock is
always full and complete; they always
give satisfaction, and we bespeak for
them a heavy trade from our vicinity.
We found Messrs. J. & S. Bones & Cos.,
as busy as “ bees in a tar bucket,”
assorting and arranging a mommoth
stock of newly imported hardware.—
Our wagon and buggy makers, or “ any
other man ” wanting hardware can do
as well at this house as any in the State.
New buildings arc going up in all
parts of the city—among them a num
ber of magnificent business houses—and
all the surroundings point to a brilliant
future for the “ eternal city.”
We called upon our genial and talent
ed young friend, Grady, of that spicy
sheet, (he Daily. Commercial , and were
entertained in princely style by Grady,
Parks and their gallant crew. One sub
scriber had just supplied them with
cider, another with segars, and they
were brimful of good humor.
We also called upon the live men of
the Rome Daily , and are under obliga
tions to them for gentlemanly courtesies
and generous favors.
The Choice Hotel is certainly most
appropriately named; for a more choice
house would be hard to find. It is
situated in a delightful portion of the
city; its rooms are large, comfortable
and tidy; its beds soft, white and invit
ing ; its tables loaded with well-cooked
substantiate and choice danties; and
last, but not least, its proprietor Mr. J.
C. Rawlins is one of nature’s hotel men
“ cut out for the posish.” He is a Vir
ginian of the cleverest order, and you
will always receive a hearty, old Vir
ginia welcome at the Choice Hotel.
Still on Prolongation.
In the Senate Monday. Mr. Merrill
proposed the following bill, which was
read the first time : By this it will be
seen that the fellow' wants to hang on
to that nine dollars a day a “ lectio
longer ” any way :
A Bill to be entitled an Act to provide
for holding Elections for Members of
the General Assembly of the State,
and for other purposes.
Section 1. The General Assembly of
the State of Georgia do enact, That an
election shall be held at the several
places established b}' law for holding
elections in the several counties in the
State for members of the General As
sembly'. except for Senators in the Dis
tricts numbered with even numbers, on
Tuesday, the 27th (lay of December
uext, and biennially thereafter on Tues
day after the first Monday iu Novem
ber, except for Senators in the Districts
where, by the Constitution of this State,
the term shall not have expired at the
meeting of the General Assembly, so
elected, next after such election.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted,
That the said election shall be held and
managed, and returns*made, in the same
manner as is required by existing laws
where the same do not conflict with the
Constitution of this State.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted,
That the true intent and meaning of
par. ii. sec. 1 of Article 3 of the Con
stitution of this State is that no General
Assembly of this State has the right or
pow'er to change the time of holding
any general election so as to fix the time
of such election before the commence
ment or after the expiration of the ) r ear
in which the Constitution of the State
provides for the same to be held, nor to
so change the time of the meeting of
the General Assembly as to enable them
to hold a session after the time fixed by
existing laws at the time of their elec
tion.
See. 4. All conflicting laws arc hereby
repealed.

The following resolution passed the
Georgia State Agricultural Society un
animously, having a representation from
over 100 counties :
“ Whereas, The Fair, to be held in
Atlanta during the month of October,
1870, is intended to be a grand exhibi
tion of American industry ; and
“ Whereas, Said exhibition will be
held under the immediate control and
supervision of the Georgia State Agri
cultui-ul Society; therefore be it
“ Resol% T etl, That we, the delegates
and representatives to the Georgia State
Agricultural Society assembled, do here
by extend to our fellow-citizens of the
North, East and West a cordial invita
tion to meet their brethren of the South
at said. Fair, to exchange friendly greet
ings, to exhibit stock, agricultural im
plements and other articles of home in
dustry, and thus promote the material
interests of all sections.”
s££T In the House of Representatives,
on Monday., Mr. Armstrong moved to
suspend the rules to take up the follow
ing resolution, introduced by himself:
Whereas, by an act of Congress of
July 2, 1803, certain public lands were
donated to the several States and Terri
tories, under certain conditions therein
contained, in order to provide colleges
for the benefit of agriculture and the
mechanio arts and mineral interests
therein.
And whereas, The Senate and House
of Representatives of this State, b}' a
joint resolution approved February 28,
1860, signified their acceptance of the
benefits and provisions of said act, there
fore
Be it resolved. That his Excellency,
the Governor, be requested to furnish
the House witli any and all information
he may have on the subject, and what
efforts have been made to claim and re
ceive the portion to which the State of
Georgia is, or may be, entitled to under
said act of Congress.
Mr. Armstrong said that the quota of
this State amounts to three hundred
thousand acres, and that this is the only
State which has not received its share.
Mr. Armstrong called the previous
question, which \Vas sustained, and the
resolution was adopted.
In the Senate Monday, the following
bills passed: A bill preventing trains
from running on the Sabbath; a bill
changing the time of holding the Su
preme Court to the third Monda}s in
January and June; a bill amending the
charter of the Savannah,.Skida way, and
Seaboard Railroad ; a bill granting State
aid to the Polk Slate Quarry Railroad;
a bill amending an act incorporating the
Cherokee Wesleyan Male and Female
Institute.

A WnoLE Family Poisoned. —We
regret to have to chronicle the poison
ing of an entire family, iu this city, by
some parties unknown as yet. Mr. and
Mrs. C. Roach and three children were
found upon the floor of the residence
they occupied dead, and from the appear
ance of the bodies, they were evidently
poisoned. The character and quantity
of poison used is not known, but will be
ascertained by a coroner’s inquest when
it is held. Certain parties are suspected
of the grave crime, as they were familiar
with the premises, and had made threats
against the deceased. As the matter
will be thoroughly investigated we for
bear comments. We will say, however,
that politics had nothing to do with the
transaction. — Atlanta Constitution.
The Chinese are preparing for war.
Judge Linton Stephens Ac
cepts the Chairmanship of
the Democtatic Executive
Committee.
Sparta, Ga., Sept. 6, 1870.
Colonel R. A. Alston, Secretary of
the Democratic Executive Committee
of Georgia :
Dear Sir : Your letter was duly re
ceived informing me that I was chosen
chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee, k of this State, at a meeting
held at Atlanta on the Ist inst., in pur
suance of a call from the President of
the Democratic Convention to assemble
at the time and place and complete their
organization by electing a chairman out
side of their own number.
While sending to the committee,
through you, my acceptance of the po
sition assigned, and m3' acknowledge
ment of the honor conferred. I take this
occasion to express my own views, on a
subject, which the committee have
brought before the public, by taking
action on it before their selected chairman
had accepted liis appointment, and be
fore, therefore, they had a complete
organization, or even the number re
quired b} r the resolution of the conven
tion providing for the formation of an
Executive Committee.
The subject to which I allude is the
selection of candidates in the approach
ing election with a reference to their
jtfrder existing so-callqd laws,
and the certainty of'their being allowed
to take their seats if elected.
The recommendation which some mem
bers of the committee, in its unorganiz
ed and incomplete state, have given to
the people on the subject, is already re
ceiving different interpretations. For
my own part, I am at a total loss to
imagine how an) r man elected to Con
gress from this State could have any.
“ certainty ” of being allowed to take
his seat, without avowing his uncondi
tional adhesion to the creed of the Radi
cal party. If the recommendation means
this, it will be promptly repudiated by
every true Democrat in the United
States; and I will not do the members
of the committee who put forth the re
commendation, the injustice to believe
for a single moment, that they intended
it to reach to this extent, nor can I
believe, as some suppose, that they in
tended to advise the people to put forth
only such candidates as can take the
iron-clad test oath.
The difficulty of making a recom
mendation which should present any
uniform rule applicable alike to elections
for Congress and elections for the State
Legislature, was foreseen by the recent
Democratic Convention, and induced
the Business Committee of that body,
and that body itself, to forego the at
tempt.
I must also remark that the gentle
men who have put forth the recommen
dation in question have fallen into a
mistake as to there having been any re
commendation on this subject from the
Democratic Executive Committee of the
United States. On the contrary, the
whole subject of eligibility of candidates,
as affected by so-called disabilities, has
been left by the National Democratic
organization, and by the Democratic
State Convention without any recom
membitJAn at all, leaving the members
of the party everywhere perfectly free
to shape their action according to their
own convictions of principle and policy
in the different localities.
• But since the subject has been brought
before the public in a quasi official form
by members of the Committee with
which I am officially connected, I deem
it due to myself to make known my own
distinct and strong convictions as to the
course required by sound policy and
sanctioned by sound principles.
As to members of the Legislature, I
think the people should select only those
who are free from all the so-called disa
bilities, and this simply as a matter of
policy. The Legislature will be subject
to the manipulation of the dominant
party at Washington, and that party
will certainly exclude from it all persons
who may be subject to any of the dis
abilities which they have prescribed for
and attempted to fix upon that class of
officers for the Legislature we have
abundant sound material, which is free
from all disabilities prescribed for that
class, and by electing a Legislature from
this material, we shall either get a sound
administration of State affairs or else
drive the enemies of constitutional
libert}' into the perpetration of some
new outrage, and thus pile up and ac
celerate the retribution which awaits
them at the hands of an indignant peo
ple. It must be borne in mind that the
iron-clad or test oath has not } r et been
required for members ot the Legislature.
Members of Congress stand on a
different footing, and with regard to
them I believe a different policy is de
manded. In their case the iron-clad or
test oath is required.
I firmly believe it would be far bet
ter that our people should remain for
ever unrepresented, than that they
should be misrepresented by men who
can either take that oath or get a dis
pensation from it. It is idle and foolish
to expect the Radical party in the pre
sent condition of affairs, to admit into
Congress any real representatives of our
people. They will accept only those
who would destroy our moral power by
misrepresenting and debasing us. Let
us, therefore, dismiss, all idea of getting
real representatives into a Congress
where there is a Radical majority, and
let us not forget that a true Democratic
Congress will admit any members who
may have the qualifications required by
the true constitution, stripped of the
destructive usurpations which are at
tempted to be foisted upon it by no
higher authority than Congressional
enactments and Presidential proclama
tions.
There are, and can be. no disqualifica
tions or disabilities for members of Con
gress but such as are prescribed by the
constitution itself, and by the constitu
tion I mean that sacred instrument in
its purity as contra-distinguished from
the so-called 14th and 15th amendments.
And never let it be forgotten that this
violation now perpetrated in the name,
and under color, of the 14th and 15th
amendments, was equally perpetrated
by the same revolutionary party before
the passage of either one of those so
called amendments. I remark just here
in passing, that the 13th amendment,
abolished slavery, stands upon an entire
ly different footing, and. in my judg
ment, constitutes a valid part of the con
stitution.
This doctrine—that the only possible
disqualifications or disabilities for mem
bers of Congress are those to be found
in the constitution itself —always observ
ed iu the better days of the government,
and violated only by revolutionary
radicalism, will certainly be respected
and enforced by every true Democratic
Congress in tlie future.
I think, therefore, that we should
select members of Congress without the
slightest regard to so-called disabilities,
except that we should not fail to send,
at least, some who are subject to them,
and who have ability to show their
invalidity and enormity. They must
have a hearing on the question of their
right to seats, and that question well
argued on the theatre of Congress would
shake this country from centre to cir
cumference. Our strength lies in at
tack—in attacking the usurpations and
enormities of the party who are seeking
to overthrow our whole system of govern
ment, by crushing out the State which
stand as an obstacle iu the way of their
scheme of centralization and consequent
unobstructed public plunder. Our
strength is in the truth, and their weak
ness is in their guilt,
• Our policy is not to&hrink IVouj the
oontoei. blit to worre unrowiti.inp \vnr on
the field of truth and reason; and we
must bring forward such issues as will
reveal the malignity of their designs and
the enormity of their guilt. It is a time
when cowardice is folly and weakness,
and courage is wisdom and strength.—
We are invincible on the issues if they
are rightly made; and let us remember
.that nobody ever gained a victory by
running away from the battle-field.
These outline ideas may be enlarged,
if the committee has hereafter to submit
an address to the people of Georgia.
Yours, Very respectfully,
Linton Stephens.
The Concord Patriot says that about
10 o'clock on the night of the 25th ult.,
while the up train on the Northern Hoad
was running at full speed, near Grafton,
quite a flutter arose among the females,
which lasted for some time. The male
creatures were invited to go into another
car and did so without urging. By the
time it was deemed proper for them to
come back, anew passenger with power
ful lungs had been added to those al
ready on board entitled to be dead-head
ed. So much for the effects of “con
solidation.”
