CALHOUN TIMES. ELAM CHRISTIAN, --- EDITOR. [CALHOUN, GA: ' Tn URSDA y7dEC KM BE R 8, 1870. Democratic Nominees. FOR CONGRESB 7tit DISTRICT, GEN. r. M. B. YOUNG, OP BARTOW. POR STATE SENATOR, non. L. N. TRAMMELL, OP WHITFIELD. FOR REPRESENTATIVE. Hon. .T. C. FAIN, OF CALHOUN. Brown, the newly elected Governor of Missouri, writes his name B. Gratz Brown —not Gratz B. Brown. T\ e are not advised as to whether he parts his hair in the middle.— Era. Suppose you are aware he parted you r party in the middle, and made good democrats of one half. The carnival of Destruction is over; the era of Prosperity and Order sets in at full tide. Othello’s occupation is gone.— Era. That’s exactly so, Mr. Era, but it sounds fuuny, coming from you, just on the eve of your party’s burial in Geor gia. In Raleigh, N. C., on the 3d, the Hon. Josiah Turner, editor of the Ital eigh Sentinel, and ex-U. S. Senator T. L. Clingman had a personal encounter. Canes were freely used. Mr. Clingman was very badly injured about the head, having received three or four severe blows. Mr. Turner received one very sevore blow. Mr. Clingman made the assault. The difficulty originated in some stric tures appearing in the Sentinel upon Mr. Clingman. The President’s Message. —We give only such parts of this message, this week, as a r e of a local nature. — Three fourths of the message is devoted to foreign relations, w'th which our readers are already familiar. The Pre sident’s reasons fo* a strict observance of the neactrality laws arc very well stated; and conclusive. Grant's Indian policy—bis Quaker agents, &c., is also familiar. He seems well satisfied w’th its wovVngs so far. He again urges the annexation of San Domingo—that inessue fa’l-ng to go through at the last s ssson for want of the two-tbirds major tv. Asa whole, the message is a plain business-!il.e document, containing no waste of words, and no new ideas of import'ncc. Congress. The United Stages congress met on Monday, the sth. In the House one hundred and Seventy-three members answered to roll call. Duke, of Virginia was seated, taking the old oath. Sypher was seated from the Fl.si Louisiana District. The Presidents Message was read, causing no sensation. It was fully ap plauded at its clause. Dalton, Ga., Dec. sth 1870. I hereby certify that pending the question of the e'cgibility of R. A. Donalson, as representative of the county of Gordon, before the military commis sion, that I heard Capfc. Fred. Cox. say that he had in his possession as evidence against said Donaldson, an order issued by said Donaldson as road commissioner to Clabe Butler, of Gordon county. David G. King. The above certificate of Judge David G. King seals upon Capt. Fred. Cox, the radical candidate for the Senate from this District, the crime of having been mainly instrumental in having Major R. A. Donaldson, ihe Democoatic representative of Gordon county turned out, and John Nesbitt, Radical sub stituted in his stead. The facts are these : Capt. Cox’s son went to Clabe Butler’s and got ihe order referred to by Judge King. Capt. Cox told Judge King that he had the order as evidence against Major Donaldson. The order appeared iu evidence against Major Donaldson on the trial. Th's makes out the case fully. Capt. Cox a short time ago denied publicly, that he had had any thing to do in this matter. Let the Democracy of Gordon county see to it, that this man, who has been instrumental in depriving them of ihe representative of their choice, he ter ribly rebuked at the polls. Democrat. Penalty for Opening Letters Addresred to Another. —Many peo ple seeing letters advertised are in the habit of thinking there must be a mis take in the address and call for and open letters belonging to other parties. There ore also letters that occasionally, through haste or mistake, get into the wrong boxes and are opened by parties to whom they do not belong. It w ould be as well to let our readers know that the penalty for any person opening a letter not addressed to himself varies from a fine not exceeding SSOO to imprison ment for ten years (Sec. 306, laws 1866.) One half the pecuniary penalty shall be for the use of the iuformer (Sec. 318, laws 1866.) The complaint should be made before a United States Judge or Commissioner, if possible; if not pos sible, then before a justice of the peace (Sec. 485, Reg. 1866.) And when a criminal is apprehended the attorney for the United States for the district in which the offense was committed shall he notified (See. 460, Reg.) [OOM M UNICATKD.] Democrats, to the Front! The Democracy have worked prior to this stage of the campaign, with much success j hut they have had child’s-play to what they will he required to do be tween this and the day of the election. The wolf has leaped from his covert, thereby disclosing himself to his ene mies. In other words, the Radicals have put their ticket in the field, to he “gobbled up” by truth, liberty, justice, and Democracy. The Democracy know now where to strike. They know how much power it will take to crush the en emy—to annihilate them. The enemy have secured several strong positions. They have possession of that very strong fortress, “Independ ent Democratic Candidates.” Upon this work there are several guns mount ed, and they are trying to mount others, notwithstanding the enfilading fire of our artillery. They are fortifying this work so as, they think, to become invulnera ble. They are daily making sorties, in the hope of capturing wavering Demo crats, with whom they propose to sup port the artillery of this fort. Upon this position we should use our heaviest ordnance. Redoubt “Weak-Knee is in possession of the Radicals, who propose to man it with weak-kneed Democrats, by offering a bounty in the shape of the scraps that may, perchance, fall from their tables. We think, however, that a few of our sharp-shooters can readily silence the guns mounted thereon, as they are of ex ceedingly small call'bre. The main fortress upon which they depend for triumph is weak-kneed Dem ocracy and Fort Africa. This a very extensive fortification. Many guns are mounted upon its walls, and a long line of breast-works surround it. These works held by slabs off from the Democratic party, and by the “colored troops,” who have been misled into ser vice by those who profess to command, who were deserters and are carpet-bag gers ; who fill high positions by appoint ment, (never held any by the suffrage of the people.) These fellows also act as cavalry, scouts, “quartermasters,” and “commissaries for the garrison. They are very cunning, and are all the time devising plans whereby their position may be] strengthened. Their disposi tions, too, are made with considerable skill and forethought. The forces above enumerated are com manded by very shrewd generals, who are ever ready to assail any weak point in our lines ; there ore it will be well for our leaders to keep their eyes open. Our fort, “Honesty,” is firing away like blazes at the Radical battery Fraud with good effect. Fort Constitution en filades the enemy's entire liae. But we will not name over all our forces, as they are well known to all good people. Gen. P. M. B. Young, our Caumian der-in-chief, is controlingaffairs admira bly, and his two efficient brigadier gen erals, Trammell and Fain, are just the men to hack him. With work, patriotism, truth, honesty, prudence and forbearance, we will cap ture the whole Radical army by the 20th of this month. So, Democrats, to the front! True Democracy. Letter from Arkansas. James’ Fork, Ark., ) November, 1870. j Editor Calhoun Times: Dear Sir: —As Mr. Sledge has writ ten you a letter for publication, I w ill also, to correct his mistakes, or, rather, misrepresentations. He reminds me of a boy who has left home for the first time—nothing ap pears right, or sound* right, but home. “As to the Jews old Canaan stood,” so does old Georgia to Mr. Sledge. Every person looks cross-eyed hut old acquain tances. Mr. Sledge dwelt considerably upon the condition of this country. I know something of his travels in Arkansas and the Indian Territory. He travelled fourteen miles South of Fort Smith; from thence two and a half miles inside the Choctaw line, and made but a short stay, although he appears to be well posted. As to the production of the country, lie gives a very low estimate. As he did not stay through ihe gather ing season, I do not think him a compe tent judge. Like Mr. Sledge, I am best acquaint ed South of Fort Smith. Our land is a loose loam, intermixed with sand—adapt ed to the growing of corn, cotton, wheat, oats, potatoes, turnips, melons, tobacco —and, in fact, everything a farmer wants to raise. Wc average from thirty to fifty bushels of corn per acre ; wheat, ten to fifteen, cotton 1000 to 1500 lbs. (seed cotton) per acre; oats as fine as heart could wish. The country, like most others, is com posed of hills and valleys. The valleys generally, perhaps, are not so extensive as some in Gordon county, (Georgia.)— The hills are covered with post oak, hickory and black-jack; the valleys are heavily timbered, interspered with im mense coal banks. As to those mounds of which Mr. Sledge speaks, and how they were made, is a matter of note and curiosity. He and the settlers of some very ancient date may he correct as to their formation, but the old citizens at the present time, think they are just as God made them, before he made the buffalo. The range is fine for cattle and ponies, and hogs live well through the winter. Hogs at one year old keep in good order through the summer season, and get fat on the mast in the fall. The sweet mast was killed last spring; but the hogs are getting fat on hitter mast this fall. As to the game, Mr. Sledge did not have luck to find it. I have stood in my door and counted as many as twenty-five and thirty"’ turkeys in one flock, and about as many doqj| from the same place. Fox, w T ild-eats, cattamounts, and wolves plenty—occasionally a panther. Bears are scarce away from the mountains. Mr. Sledge seems to be well informed as to the political condition of Sebas tian county. It is true, the offices are filled by Radicals. The reason is the Democratic party have never had a man in the field until the present canvass, asking the people for their suffrage. The Bth of November they will rise, shake off the dust and sing the song of tri umph. We will show Mr. Sledge that we have plenty of good old Democrats in Sebastian county. As to half the citizens of this county going with the Federate, it is a mistake. In Mr. Sledge’s immediate neighbor hood the majority went Federal. If he had traveled over this county he would have found a large majority of the Dem ocratic persuasion, who went Southern. The Indians were troublesome along the line during the war—principally Choc taws. The Peons were never South of Fort Smith. They held the Cherokee Nation. I have conversed with both parties and they inform me the war was carried on in guerrilla style. The citi zens had to go North or South, or to Ft. Smith. Their homes were generally burned by one party or the other. As to the strife not being at an end yet in this country, Mr. Sledge is the first man I have heard mention such a thing in four years. The people are as quiet I suppose, as in any part of the United States. We have preaching ev ery Sabbath, near enough to go and re turn home for dinner. We have good schools (free) three months in the year, and can and do, in some parts, have sub scription schools the remainder of the year. Mr. Sledge puts us under a very heavy tax—s 4.72 per hundred. I have never paid any such tax, neither have I ever heard of any other man paying such. Running water is scarce, but water can be obtained anywhere at the depth of from sixteen to thirty feet. As to the insects that alarm Mr. Sledge so much : they are not very dan gerous. The sting of a scorpion is about the same as that of a wasp. His other dangerous reptiles are about the same. Mr. Sledge never saw a mountain boomer. I will get the boys to catch one next summer, and send him, by way of reminder where he has been. Mr. Sledge states land as high here as in Georgia. Ido not know what land is worth there. I will give you the prices here: It is selling at from $1.25 to $lO per acre, according to improve ments and locality. I will close by giving Mr. Sledge a hit of advice. As he takes the liberty of advising the people of old Gordon, he should have thought well before he left as good a country as this to hunt a home in old Gordon. More anon. Sam Slick. President’s Message. Washington, December 5. The following Message was transmit ted to Congress to-day: To the Senate and Home of Represen tatives : A year of peace and general prosper ity to this nation has passed since the last assembling of Congress. We have, through a kind Providence, been blessed with abundant crops, and have been spared from complications and war with foreign nations. In our midst compara tive harmony has been restored. It is to be regretted, however, that a free exercise of the elective franchise has. by violence and intimidation, been denied to citizens, in exceptional cases, in sev eral of the States lately in rebellion, and the verdict of the people has thereby been reversed. The States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas have been restor ed to representation in our national councils. Georgia, the only State now without representation, may confidently he expected to take her place there also at the beginning of our new year; and then, let us hope, will be completed the work of reconstruction, with an acquies cence on the part of the whole people in the national obligation to pay the public debt created as ihe price of our Union, the pensions to our disabled sol diers and sailors, and their widows and orphans; and in the changes to the Constitution which have been made ne cessary by a great rebellion, there is no reason why we should not advance in material prosperity and happiness as no other nation ever did after so protracted and devastating a war. The estimates for the expenses of the government, for the next, fiscal year, are $18,244.34(5, one cent less than for the current one, but exceed the appropria tions for the present year for the same items $8,972,127,56. In his estimate, however, is included $22,338,279,37, for public works heretofore begun un der Congressional provision, and of which only so much is asked as Con gress may choose to give. The appro priation for the same works, for the present fiscal year was $11,984,518,08. The average value of gold, as compared with national currency for the whole of the year 1869 was about 134, and for the eleven months of 1870. the same relative value has been about 115. The approach to a specie basis, is very grati fying, but the fact cannot be denied that the instability of the Value of the currency, is prejudicial to our prosper ity. and tends to keep up prices to the detriment of trade. The evils of a de preciated and fluctuating currency are so great that now, when the premium on gold has fallen so much, it would seem that the time has arrived when, by wise and prudent legislation, Con gress should look to a policy which would place our currency at par with gold at no distant day. The tax collected from the people has been reduced more thau $80,000,900. By steadiness in our present course, there is no reason why in a few short years the national tax gatherer may not disappear from the door of the citizen almost entirely. With the revenue stamp, dispensed by the postmaster in every community; a tax upon liquors of all sorts, and tobacco in all its forms; and by a wise adjustment of the tariff, which will put a duty upon those ar ticles which we could dispense with, known as luxuries, and on those which we use more thau we produce, revenae enough may he raised, after a few yea •s of peace and consequent reduction of indebtedness, to fulfill all our obliga tions. A further reduction of expenses, in addition to a reduction of the interest account, may he relied on to make this practicable revenue reform. If it moans this, it has my hearty support. If it implies a collection of all the revenue for the support of government, for the payment of principal and interest of the public debt, pensions. &c., by directly taxing the people, then I am against revenue reform, and confidently believe the people are with me. If it means failure to provide the necessary means to defray all the expenses of government, and thereby repudiation of the public debt and pensions, then I am sJU more opposed to such kind of revenue reform Revenue reform bas not been defined by any offt 13 advocates <o my knowledge, bat seems to be accepted as something which is to supply what every man wan.s without any cost o' effo-t on his A turn revenue reform cannot be made in a day, but must he the work of national legislation and o'* fine. As soon as the revenue can he dispensed with, rH du-.y should he removed fiom cofiee. tea and otbe*- a- Jelesof universal use, not p oduced hv ou-selves. The necessities of the country coupe l us to collect evenue from or * imports An army o." assessors end col'ec o g is not a pleasant sight to the citizens, birt that of a tariff for revenue is oeocss? y. — Such a ta> iff so far as it rc.s as e i en couragement to home prod action affords employment to labor at living wages in contTSt to the prupc* labor o ' the Obi W o’b 1 and also *n ihe development of home resou'ces. Under ihe Act of Congress of the 15t(! day of July, 1870, the a *mv has gradually been reduced, so that, on vhe fi v st and, y January. 1871, iho number of comm-ss'ined officers aid. men v\ !, l not exceed the number comem•dated be that law. r l be War Department building is an old. Structure, not fi e-ptoof and entirely inadequate in dimensions to our nresent wants. Many thousands of doOr s are now paid annually so ‘eat of pi "rate bu'ld«ngs to aecomniod.a e the various bureaus of the der’rtmeats. I recom mend an appropriation for anew War Department bo lding suited to the p-e --sent and growing wans of the nxrien. The report of the Secretary of War shows a very satisfactory reduction hi the expenses of the army so tie last fiscal year. For de.< 6s, you ise :efer led to h : s accompanying report. The expenses o : ‘ the navy so: ihe whole of the last year—that is fom December Ist 1869, the date of the tesi lepo i— less then $19,000,000, or about 8f 000,- 000 less than they were the previous year. The expenses sbice die com mencement of this fiscal year —tin tis since July Ist: —show for die five months a decrease of over £2 400.000 f am those of the correspond mg months of last year. estimates for the current year were $28,205 071,37. Those for ne\u yea** are $20,683,317, with $055 - 100 additional for necessary permanent imp ovements. These es iniates are made closely for the mere maintenance of naval establishment as 'L now is with out much in the natu v e of permanent improvement. The appropriations for the last and current years we**e evident ly intended by Confess and a*e suffi cient u) l:eep the navy on ‘is footing by the pepairiog and reading of our old ships. This policy must of course, g adually, hut surely destroy the naw aud it is in itself, fa'* from economical as each yearthat it is pursued, the ne cessity for mere repairs in ships and navy yards becomes more imperative and more costly, and out current ex penses are annually increased for ibe mere repa'r of ships, many of which must soon become unsafe and useless. The accompanying report of the Post master General shows a most satisfacto ry working of that Department. With the adoption of the recommendations contained therein, particularly those re lating to a reform in the franking priv lege, and the adoption of the “ corres pondence cards,” a self-sustaining postal system may speedily be looked fur, and at no distant day, a farther reduction of the rate of postage may be attained. I reccommend authorization by Congress to the Postmaster General and Attorney General to issue all commissions to offi cials to be appointed through their res pective departments. At present, these commisaioners where appointments are Presidential, are issued by the State De partment. The law in all the depart ments of the government, except those of the Post Office and of Justice, au thorizes each to issue its own commis sions. Always favoring practical re forms, I respectfully call your attention to one of long standing, which I would like to see remedied by this Congress. It is a reform in the civil service of this country. I would have it go beyond the mere fixing of the tenure of office of clerks aud employees who do not require “the advice and consent of the Senate” to make their appointments cemplete.— L would have it govern not the tenure, but the manner of making all appoint ments. There is no duty which so much embarrasses the Executive and heads of departments as that of appoint ments ; nor is there any such arduous and thankless labor imposed on Sena tors and Representatives as that of find ing places for constituents. The pres ent system docs not secure the best men. and often not even fit men for public places. The elevation and purification of the civil service of the government will be hailed with approval by the whole people of the United S totes. During the year ending September 30, 1370, there were filed in the Pat ent Office 19411 applications for pat ents, 3374 cafeats. and ISO applications for the oxteusk'u of pateuts. Thirteen thousand six hundred and twenty-two patents, revisions and designs, were issued, 110 extended, 1.089 allow ed hut not issued by reason of the non- of the final fees. The receipts of the office during the fiscal year were $13(3,30*. In excess of its expenditures the work of the Census Bureau has been energet ically prosecuted. The preliminary re port containing much information of special value aud interest, and will be ready for delivery during the present session. The remaining volumes will be completed with all the dispatch con sistent with perfect accuracy in nrrauT ing and classifying the returns. We shall thus, at no distant day be furnished with an authentic record of our condi tion and resources. It will, I doubt not, attest the growing prosperity of the country, although during the decade which has just closed, it was so severely tried by the great war waged to man tain its integrity and (o secure and per petuate our free institutions. During the last fiscal year the gum paid to pensioners, including the cost of disbursement, $277,808 11 and 1,758 bounty land warrants were issued at its close. 197,080 names were on the pen sion rolls. The labors of the pension office have been directed to the severe scrutiny of the evidence submitted in favor of the new claims and to the dis covery of fictitious claims which have allowed the appropriation ldr special agents for the investigation of frauds has been judiciously used, and the results obtained have been of unquestionable benefit to the service. The subjects of education and agriculture arc of great interest of our republican institutions, happiness and grandeur as a nation.— In the interest of one, a bureau has been established in the Interior Department, the Bureau of Education and in the in tersst of the other, a separate depart ment —that of agriculture. I believe great gene' al good is to flow from the operations of both these bureaux, if properly fostered. 1 cannot commend to your careful consideration too highly the reports of the Commissioners of Education, arid of agriculture, nor urge too strongly, such liberal legislation as to secure their effi ciency. In conclusion, I would snm up the policy of the administration to be a thorough enforcement of every law, a faithful collection of every fax provid ed for, economy in the disbursement of the same, a prompt payment of every debt of the nation, a reduction of taxes as rapidly as the requirements of the country will admit —reduction of taxa tion and tariff to be so arranged as to afford the greatest relief to iho greatest number; honest and fair dealing with all other people—to the end, that war, with all its blighting consequences be avoided, but without surrendering any right or obligation due to us : a reform in the treatment of Indians, and in the whole civil service of the country; and finally, in securing a pure, untrammel led ballot, where every man entitled to cast a vote may do so, just once at each election, with out fear of molestation or proscription on account of his political faith, nativity or color. (Signed) U. S. Grant. Executive Mansion, Dee. sth ; 1870. The Wahoo on the Rampage. The Georgia Senate presented a strik ingly beautiful picture of African civi lization in the Empire State of the South in these glorious days of political equality. It happened on Friday, and we copy the follow ing mildly drawn pic from an Atlanta paper of the following day: Yesterday moruing, the Senate cham ber was made the scene of considerable commotion among the members, by sharp words and threatening demonstrations between two colored members, Bradley and Wallace. Bradley moved a reconsideration of the vote by which Henry Sperrin was confirmed as one of the managers of the voting precinct of Savannah, and urged as a reason, that Sperrin was a noted blackleg , that he was not respected by either black or w hite citizens of Savan nah. and was never knowu to do an hon orable day's work until employed by Mills. This, and other assertions, brought Wallace to the floor, with the remark that he was responsible for anything he said in the Senate or out of it. Where upon Bradley went down into his breech es pockets, and fishing on a revolver and bowie knife, laid them deliberately on the desk, and proceeded, or tried to, w ith his speech. But pistols came out on the other side, and a general uproar en sued. The President at once ordered the parties put under arrest. It was moved to expel Bradley, and the vote stood sev en for expulsion aud nineteen against. Another resolution was then offered that both parties be reprimanded by the President of the Senate, and being car ried. the little unpleasantness took a short recess. - A Chicago lawyer has had 243 divorce cases in seven mouths. The Cherokees have appointed a day of fasting and praper for protection agaiust the United States. There is but a single Democrat elect ed to the State Senate in Kansas.
