CALHOUN TIMES. ELAM CHRISTIAN, - . > EDITOR, C ALHOUN* GAt THURSDAYr OCTOBER 20, 1870. Democratic Nominees. FOR CONGRESS 7TH DISTRICT, GEN. P. M. B, YOUNG, OF BARTOW. FOR STATE SENATOR. Hon. L. N. TRAMMELL, OF WHITFIELD. FOR REPRESENTATIVE, lion. J. C. FAIN, OF CALHOUN. 8*6%, Tho question of the day—are you going to the big fair ? We hope to spend a few days in Atlanta during the Fair, and will give our readers “the dots” next week. - President Grant has telegraphed the Georgia State Fair on'aecouiW'bl official business. BiiT" Bullock has issued his proclama tion adjonming the Legislature on the 25th Tho fleuato meets on November 21st to confirm appointments of election managers. The Rads are jubilant over the probability of a split in the Democratic party in some counties—as they know this is their only hope. We hope they will be disappointed in this. •oT In another column we publish the Governor’s proclamation, calling up on the county Ordinaries of the State to send up the names of two election man agers, according to the Senate’s construc tion of the bill. - W&r The Legislature is now getting nine dollars a day for quarreling over a day for adjournment. It is now proba ble that body will adjourn about the 25th, and that the Senate will meet in November for confirming the nomina tions for managers of election. Prussians Before Paris.- Prus sians at Versailles deny that the French have accomplished any successes before Paris, or that the situation has changed at all since they took position around the city on the 19th of September. •egr They have had a rousing railroad meeting at Cedar Town, Polk county, recently. The people are apparently in earnest about it. When will the people of Calhoun take hold of their railroad project? The passage of the bill chartering the road, and granting State aid, will amount to nothing, unless the people take hold of the matter. A Disgrace. It should be known to the publio that there is a false imitation of humanity in the Georgia Legislature, so lost to self respect, and any of the feelings that ev er enter tho heart of a true man—as to oppose the resolutions of respect to the memory of General Lee in the house.— This moving heap of venom and rascal ity is called Fitzpatrick—a disgrace to Ireland, the land of his birth, and ev ery other country his foot has ever pol luted Even the half-witted negroes of that body heaped upon this vile thing in hu man shape unmistaken evidences of their withering scorn. Aside from all his other acts of mean ness, and attempts to injure the people of Georgia, while soaking in fine liquor at their expense, this of itself is enough to condemn him forever to the lowest depths of infamy, and—after the right eous disgust and scorn of an outraged people have been completely tired out— to oblivion's blackest cavern. The Rome Fair. Those of our citizens who attended the Fair at Rome, came back highly pleased with their trip, and speak in terms of commendation of the whole affair. The management was in the hands of exactly the right men. We are indeed glad that -so many of our citizens are witnessing the spirit of pro gress and enterprise manifested by the people of other counties in this particu lar in hope, for another season to herald the “ Gordon county Agricultural Fair,” as one among the prominent items for the fall of 1871. Let our Society go to work note —in full time—and old Gordon can rival any exhibition we have yet seen in the way of a county fair, without going out side of her own limits. What say the farmers, and people generally of Gordon—shall we have a fair in 1871 ? Talk about it around your firesides— when you visit your neighbors in the couutry —when you come to town. — Enthuse the people on the subject and once yet to work, and there is no doubt of a brilliant success. The Senate has confirmed the appointment of the following election managers for Bartow' county : Thomas Stokely, J. M. Smith, J. M. Eocliran, 1). B. Cunycrs, McDonough [■arris, W. P. Elliott, A. C. Trimble and W. M Venctf. Honor to the Nation’s Hero. Meeting in Calhoun. Notwithstanding the short notice given a large number of people, both ladies and gentlemen met at the Court House in Calhoun on Saturday last to take some action concerning the sad event which has spread a gloom of sadness over the entire country. On motion of J. H. Arthur Capt. W. R. Rankin was called to the Chair, and Klam Christian requested to act as Secretary. Upon taking the Chair, Capt. Rankin explained the object of the meeting in a very brief speech—referring, in ap propriate terms, to the life and noble deeds of the departed chieftain. Aftar an impressive and appropriate prayer by Rev. J. S. Harkins, the chair announced tho meeting ready for busi ness. On motion a committee of five was appointed to prepare business for the meeting. The following gentlemen com posed said committee: J. 11. Arthur. W. J. Can The committee retired, and in a short time returned and offered the following report. ‘ Sit ice the formation of our Govern ment, the nation now, for the second time, is wrapped in mourning. The first national mourning was caused by the death of that great and good man, the nation’s idol—George Washington. And now, the second time the nation mourns, is for the patriot, soldier, and Christian hero—Robert E. Lee—who departed this life on Wednesday, the 12th inst., and who will be entombed this day at 12 o’clock. To say that we mourn for such a loss does not seem sufficiently expressive. Language fails to express the nation’s sorrow at the loss of so good and so great a man ; but knowing that all that pertains to this earth must fall and de cay, we bow, with humble reverence to the will of Almighty God, believing that “ all things work together for good to them that love and serve Him.” And be it unanimously Resolved by the citizens of Calhoun, now convened, that in memory of the nation’s loss, and in honor to the virtues of the noble dead, that the business houses be now closed and stand closed until one o’clock —during tho hour appointed for the burial of our beloved Robert E. Lee. Upon presentation of the committee’s report speeches were made by Messrs Cantrell and Christian—after which a rising vote was taken, and the report unanimously adopted. On motion it was requested that these proceedings be published in the Cal houn Times. The meeting then adjourned. W. it. Rankin, Chairman. Elam Christian, Secretary. GENERAL LEE IS DEAD. Below' we copy a few extracts from our exchanges, in regard to this sad event. A whole nation is in mourning, but especially those whom he loved the most, and for whom he braved the battle storm. lie was the soul of truth, honor and patriotism ; the consumate General, the hero of a hundred battles, and no less a hero, when he yielded and gave up the hopeless contest. He then directed his attention to that noblest of all pursuits in which he might instruct and guide the intellects and point the aspirations of the young to all that is noble and good. In every exalted aim, which he presented before them, he furnished the light of his own pure example, and ‘-led the way.” It may in truth be said that he died iu the performance of good daeds. All that is mortal of General Lee is passed away; but as long as time shall last, and there is a mind to appreciate and a heart to love all that is pure and noble and beautiful in human character, so long will the name of General Lee be admired and loved, and his fame will de scend to the latest generations.— Griffin Georgian. Lee was ours. This pride can never be torn from us. And his memory il lumines the Southern cause with an im perishable glory. Lee, the great and the good, the blameless and the heroic, is a part of our history, and his charac ter redeems our defeat. But while ours is the proud title to this grandest type of manhood, the civ ilized world will still claim a share in him by right of an example so adorning to humanity. —Atlanta Constitution. Let the bells toll ! Let the country mourn ! A great burning shin ing light, has been extinguished. Rob ert E. Lee. the hero of a hundred bat tles ; the Christian gentleman ; esteemed in all civilized lands for his manly vir tues and heroic nature, and beloved in his own “Sunny South.” is Dead.— Living, he “gave the world assurance of a mandead, he leaves it a name that will be immortal for generation after generation to honor till time shall be no more. —Atlanta Intelligencer. An attempt to eulogize him now were but a painful mockery. His deeds are his best eulogy—the only one that is entirely fitting, and the will go thunder ing down the ages, eloquent and true, bidding history make room for one who is peer of the peerless, and breathing a new song upon the lyre of poesy- The world of the dead will make room for him above its Alexanders, its Ctesar and Napoleons, and beside its one Washing ton. Immortality might well covet such a treasure, and history rejoice that he belongs to her henceforth. —Atlanta S'VTK The telegrams of last night announce the death of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, of \ ir ginia, the noblest and grandest type of the age in which he lived. The an nouncement will thrill with anguish and sorrow the hearts of the good and the brave throughout the civilized world [Mitcon Telegraph and Messenger. There is not a heart East. West, North, or South, or within the bounds of the civilized world, capable of appreciating the worth of honor, and the beauty of true chivalry, but what will experience a pang of regret at the passing away of the great Captain, the chivalric Bay ard the Moral Hero, Robert E. Lee ! Manhood had in him its noblest person ification, and his calm and Christian death, has served only to engrave his beloved name still deeper upon the hearts of his mourning countrymen. [Atlanta True Georgian. Atlanta’s Demonstration in Memory of Gen. Lee. We give below extracts f roni the At lanta Constitution in reference to the demonstration in that city on Saturday: The citizens of Atlanta, also strangers and visitors in the city, without distinc tion of party, race, or color, whose hearts were penetrated with his virtues, his hearse, ail were present to do honor to his memory. Business Was suspended. worL cloned, store houses deserted, and trade forsaken, that all might join the vast multitude to participate in the virtue of respect to the illustrious dead. Many of the old soldiers of the army of Virginia, who fought by his side, and attended him in his victories and triumphs; men filling high positions; members of the Memo rial Association, all joined hearts and affectionately and sadly assembled to shed the tribute of sincere sorrow, and to honor the memory of General Robert E. Lee. The entire city presented an appear ance of mourning. Business every where was suspended. The flag on the State House stood at half mast; at either end of the passenger depot floated at half-mast the stars and stripes of the United States; the banks were closed and crape hung upon the doors; the stores, offices, in fact all business houses were closed and draped in mourning; the hotels and printing offices were also in black ; in front of the Southern Life Insurance Office, The Constitution office, the Young Men’s Library Association rooms, the United States Hotel, and at very inauy other houses pictures of General Lee could be seen wreathed in crape and ever-green The street cor ners, doorways and windows, presented large numbers of persons, and all was quiet and solemn as slowly and sadly the procession moved to the Hall. Or derly and sorrowfully the vast multitude arranged themselves around the stand, which was on the western side of the City Hall, at the same time the Gate City Silver Band, and one from Griffin, discoursed beautiful and appropriate music. The whole city seemed to be mourn ing for the dead hero. The procession as it marched down Broad street, appear ed to be a surging sea of humanity, flowing in never-ending waves towards a common center. There was nearly as large a procession on either side-walk as in the center of the street. As the band crossed the bridge they struck up “Should auld acquaintance be forgot,” which met a unanimous nay from every heart. The crowd at the City Hall was the largest assemblage ever seen in the Gate City, and was estimated at fully ten thousand. General Gordon electri fied the audience, as enthused with his subje’et, he dwelt upon the exalted char acter of him he loved so well. The reverence for the heroism and virtue of Lee illuminated the counte nance of this battle-scarred hero, (the next great Captain of the age himself) and the marks of the shells and the bullets of the enemy on his face, became radiant with beauty, testifying as they did to the Speaker’s courage and de votion, and as he dwelt upon his theme tears unbidden forced their way down the cheeks of stern men and sympa thizing women. “ Everywhere was felt the presence of a soft despair. That thrilled the voices of div'jr' farewells.” It was an occasion that demonstrated that the popular heart adores and rever ences virtue and moral courage. Lee, stood firm and unfaltering for the right, and his name and deeds are indelibly inscribed upon the hearts of the people for all time to come. Gen. John B. Gordon was orator of the day, and we propose to erive our readers his splendid oration in our next issue. The State Road. On Tuesday the Senate passed the House bill to lease the State Road, by the following vote: Yeas—Messrs. Brock, Candler, Cor bitt, Dickey, Dunning, Fain, Griffin (6th.) Griffin (21st.) Harris. Henderson, Hick Henry, Hungerford. Jones, Jor dan, Merrell, McArthur, McWhorter, Nunnally, Sherman, Smith (7th.) Smith (36th,) Speer, Welch. Wooten—2s. Nays—sl ess rs. Bowers, Bruton, Campbell, Colman, Crayton. Traywick. Conley—7. We will be agreeably disappointed if a very short time does not suffice to prove that this is the very worst course that could have been pursued on this subject. The Road should never leave the control of the voters of Georgia, ex cept it were sold to responsible company. The women of Leavenworth. Kansas, appear to know how to settle their own little grievances without the interference of big brothers. A divorced woman, whose affections had been tampered with by one of the leading business men of the city, entered his room, pistol in hand, the other night, and would have shot him only for presence of mind on his part, which enabled him to throw up her hand and clutch her by the throat. A neighbor soon alter appeared on the scone and separated them. The Bill to Lease the State Road. We give our readers a synopsis of Mr. Scott’s bill to lease the State Road, that passed the House and is bow be fore the Senate. It authorizes the Governor to lease for 20 years, for not less than §25.000 to be paid monthly. The lease shall be forfeited and the Governor take the road if the rent is not paid in 20 days after the end of the month, and sue for the rent in fen days after he gets the road. The company cannot sub-let the road. j The company shall give bond, with security, for §8.000,000 over their debts, j and swear it. The security in the State shall be worth 85.000,000. Security out of the State shall be real estate or railroad property. The bond shall be for the monthly payment, and for the return of the road in as good a fix as it was received. The sureties shall swear they are worth §2.000.000 over debts. The Legislature can require other surety, or look into the condition of the road at any time. The Governor shall appoint three railroad men to make and tile with the Secretary of State an inventory of the road property, and its condition. The company shall not be less than number, a majority bona fide hLuII "the' iutorest in the lease. The company shall be a body corporate under the name of* Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, with the usual corporate powers. Each lessee shall be a director and have vote equal to his interest, and if he dies his representative shall act. In fifteen days after the lease is execu ted the company shall elect officers with the same salaries as the Georgia Rail road Company. The President shall have the usual power of Presidents. The company shall settle all balances with connecting roads. If there is a balance due the Road, it shall go to the State Treasury; if the balance is due to connecting roads, the company shall pay the balance out of the monthly pay ments. Other debts of the State road shall be paid out of* the State Treasury, and the Governor shall draw his warrant for the same, after a board of commissioners, consisting of Benjamin Conley, Dawson A. Walker and George Ilillyer, shall audit them. No claim shall be paid, rejected by the Court, or the Legisla ture, or that comes in the class of re bellious claims, or is embraced in the repudiation ordinance of 18G8. If a lessee dies, his interest if personal property, to be disposed of as other property. The company shall not discriminate in freights. No railroad or express companies shall become lessees, though they may be sureties. The company shall never charge a higher rate of* local freight than the average rate of our chief* roads. No banking privileges are carried by this lease. The State is to pay all mortgages and interest thereon on the road. State Fair Programme.

The new Roman government announ ces an appropriation of fifty millions to defray the expenses of the inauguration of Rome as the eapitol of Italy.

New York, October 17. —Special j telegrams from Tours states that the Prussians have crossed the Seine from Orleans, aud are marching towards; Tours. The excitement in Government cinHes is indescribable. Government property is hurried to places of security. Troops are being rushed forward to wards Orleans. Depots are crowded with persons escaping from Tours. Mobile. October 18.—Twenty deaths from yellow fever since last report.

It is reported that Russia tenders her mediation, and that Austria and Eng land are anxious for peace. K R X,,m- .V £*■»» Gambetta has issued another procla mation. The seige of Soisrons and Yerdim have commenced. The Prussians are getting up seige guns round Paris. French sorties from Paris have all been successfully repelled. Papal Zouaves have been landed at Liverpool. A dreadful accident occurred at Mitch ell’s Ship Yard, New Castle, on the Tyne, yesterday afternoon. A large iron ves sel unfinished fell over, crushing several workmen. Six bodies have been recov ered, six others are visible but not acces sible. Twenty seriously wounded. Baziine is still active at Metz. A great movement is indicated ou both sides at Paris. Garibaldi asks: “Why will not the noble American Republic, the glory and admiration of all free people, send material aid to the young and struggling Republic of France ?” The Prussians are moving south. Burnside is at Versailles. It is said peace negotiations are progressing. Steel guns to carry 9,000 metres are being manufactured by France. It is reported the Orleans princes are in the French army. The Arc de Triumph in Paris is to be iron-clad and a fort built round it. One Max Pal says Napoleon has 63.- 000,000 francs invested. Mr. Nathan Hall, of Durham, Conn., in 1833, thanked God that he lived “in a hilly country where it was impossible to build a railroad.” To-day the cars of the air line railroad run through the door-yard of his place, be tween his house and barn, and within four feet of his side door. At Glass Valley, Cal., a young man attempted suicide but failed. Alluding to the circumstance, a local paper, says : “This young man is only 20 years of age, too young to be so rash because he is impecunious. As he did not make a success of the job. we forbear giving his name. Those who get their names in this paper as suicides must succeed.— Success is the test of merit.” European mail advises state that the Roman Catholic Bishop at Botany, on the confines of Thibet, China and Bur mah. sends to India a terrible account of an earthquake in that region, effect ing an area of 180 by 90 miles, on the 11th of April The Chinese official re port estimates the loss of human life at 413.

Would we submit to it here? Then we shall not ask Georgia to sub mit.” In one of the recent fights, a Prussian Jager found a moment to pluck a rose; and after coming with his regiment out of the toil and peril of the day. he sent the flower to the Central Committee in Berlin, asking that it might be given to that lady who had been most help to the wounded.
