CALHOUN TIMES. ELAM CHRISTIAN, - - - EDITOR. CALM O IN, GA: TI IURS DAY JBEPTKMB’R 15,1870. Democratic Nominees. FOR CONGRESS 7t» DISTRICT, (JEN. P. M. B. YOUNG, OF BARTOW. * FOR STATE SENATOR, Hon. L. N. TRAMMELL, OF WHITFIELD. Special Notice. —All communica tions recommending particular persons tor office, Vi 11 be charged for at regular advertising rates, and must be accompa nied with the money, to receive attention. 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. ■« » i»- - 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 Atlanta &u;i says it has been definitely 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. Another Premium Offered. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10, ’7O. Col. D. W.

Premium Lists can be obtained upon application to the Secretary Georgia State Agricultural Society, Atlanta, Ga. Very respectfully, yours, B. W. Wrenn, General Passenger and Ticket Agent. Foster Blodgett, Super’dt. 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.
