CUBA.
The latest news brought us is to the
effect that peace and settlement between
the United States and Spain do not now
seem inevitable. The Spanish officials
and the Spanish people in Cuba refuse
to carry out and obey the orders of the
Spanish government which comply with
the demands made by the United States.
They refuse to surrender the Virginias
to our Government, but will deliver it
to a neutral power. Captain-General
Jovellar has telegraphed to Madrid his
resignation, and the wildest excitement
and utmost indignation prevails through
out the island. The present situation
presents this phase : The United States
must either modify her demands against
Spain, confess cowardice, or pick her
flints for a fight. The question of peace
or war will now devolve upon Congress.
CONGRESS.
The first session of the Forty-fourth
Congress commenced on Monday, the
Ist it*Bt. The Republicans have 49
Senators, the Democrats 19, and the Lib
eral Republicans 5, making 73 —one
scat from Louisiana being contested—in
all 74. In the House the Republicans
have 191 members, the Democrats 87.
Liberal Republicans 4, and 10 contested
seats, making in all 292 members,show
ing an increase of 49 by reason of the
Apportionment Act under the census of
1870.
THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
The message of the President to the
first session of the Forty-fourth Con
gress, the reading of which occupied
one hour and a half, is before us. It
is a plain, straight-forward document,
the leading points of which might be
of interest to our readers, if we were to
present them abbreviated, but a limit of
space this week we offer as an excuse
for not doing so.
Tiie Cartersville Standard and Ex
press says : “We look upon the Calhoun
Times as one of our very best ex
changes.”
Our Dalton Letter.
Dalton, Ga., Dec. 8, 1873.
Dear Times: The weather for the
•
past week has been dark and dreary—
dull, gray clouds covering the ethereal
vault above, like a gloomy pall, and on
ly allowing the*sun’s bright rays to burst
forth joyfully new and then to remind
us of the halcyon days of summer time;
then disappearing again, leaving the
dark shadows more striking than before.
Who can wonder that, after staying in*
doors for several days, and becoming
the victim of ennui, we sighed for the
wings of a dove that we uiight fly away
to some bright land where the dark
clouds of winter never gather,but where
sunlight and summer reign forever.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather, we have heard wed
dings that will take place ere long. The
merchants say the dull times are only
enlivened by the great demand for white
alpaca, lace, gloves, kc.
Perhaps the readers of the Times
would like to hear something about the
last wedding that was consummated here.
Mr. T. R. Jones and Miss Gertie Manly
were the happy pair. The ceremony
was performed at the Presbyterian
Church by the Rev. A. W. Gaston.—
The church was artistically decorated,
the bright, emerald wreaths, draping the
altar and chandalier,and over all soft, sub
dued lights, making the scene so beauti
ful as to recall to us glittering dreams
of “fairy land.” The bridal party were
ushered in with exquisite strains of mu
sic—now wild and passiouate, then dy
ing away in gentle, murmured cadences,
like the last whispered farewell of the
evening zephyrs. The bride wore pink
grosgrain silk, and the costumes of the
six bridesmaids were of pink and white,
made with very long trains. After the
ceremony was performed they passed
down the aisle, amid the same melodi
ous music by Miss Betty Wilks It was
so soul-enchanting! All eyes were
turned upon the fair organist to see if
Orpheus had suddenly dropped from the
clouds and touched his lyre.
The Dalton brass band seems to have
“played out” and the “tin pan serenad
ers” have taken their place. We had
a visit from them the other night. Such
a rattle of tin pans, bells and bugles was
never before heard on Emory street.—
The first piece they sang was the world
reeowned “Moliie Darling,” then came
a “ new fangled ” Christinas song. It
ran in this w ise—
“The Christmas time is drawing near,
The and 113-3 arc passing
I wish it was already here,
jL'hea get out of the way mince pie.”
This beiug concluded, they passed up
(he street and long afterwards, when in
a remote portion of the city, the faint
echoes from the juvenile serenaders was
brought back to us on the roving night
winds. More anon. Ino.
The Necessity of a Dog Law.
Gordon Cos., Ga., Dec. 7,1873
Messrs. Editors: As the time for the
meeting of the Legislature is near at
hand, and feeling the importance of
good and wholesome laws for the benefit
of pur county, and the whole State, I
beg leave to call the attention of our
Representative, and the country at large,
to the passage of a law to diminish the
number of worthless dogs, or bring into
the treasury some revenue for the dep
redations which they commit.
Our Legislature has been hammering
at a dog law for twenty five years or
more, and as yet has been unable to pass
anything which does us any material
good. True it is that there is now a
law making every owner of a dog re
sponsible for the mischief done by his
dog; but the worst of this mischief of
killing sheep, sucking eggs, &c., is gen
erally done at night, when it is almost
impossible to see the dog, and he is
rarely caught at his game, unless
some good marksman with a gun, or an
egg with a grain of strychnine in it
tells the talo next morning.
But to strike at the root of this evil
is the proper plan. My remedy is as
follows: Let us have a law (if wo can)
which will make every owner of a dog
give in his dogs to the Rax Receiver
—having a specific tax on every dog
(none excepted), and force him to buy
a collar from the County Treasurer, put
it on the dog’s neck, and let this be the
mark by which it shall be known wheth
er not ho has been given in and the
proper tax paid on him annually. Cities
have this regulation, and the same thing
can be done all over the whole country.
There is nothing illegal in a law of this
sort, for there is no discrimination, the
whole dog population is taxed specific
ally, and be is made to keep his mark
out to the world that he has been taxed,
and that tax paid. When any dog is
found without his tax mark, let. him
suffer the penalty of the law for failure
—say, have him impounded, and let the
owner pay double tax or kill him at
once.
The horse, hog, cow and sheep, all
admitted to bo valuable animals, are
taxed, and the owner forced to pay the
tax, while the mischievous curs which
roam at large, devouring the sheep,
sucking eggs, killing pigs, &c., are free
to go and do what they please, and pay
nothing for the privilege.
In passing by the house of a farmer
a few days since, I noticed six large,
well-. Jed dogs , about as many po irly clad
children, and three poor pigs, leaning
against a fence for support, and one or
two sheep in sight. The cost of feed
ing the dogs, per head, is no doubt
equal to that of either one, or more than
the pigs get, and not one ceut of profit
arising from the six dogs. This is one
of many instances to be found in our
county.
A few words as to the profits of sheep :
Mr. C. W. Howard, of Bartow county,
rented a piece of land (less than an acre)
this year to a negro, for nine dollars;
and from that piece of land the negro
has picked and sold 451 pounds of lint
cotton,and gathered nine bushels of corn.
This crop was taken from a piece of land
originally poor, but which had sheep to
stand on it at the rate of one thousand
head of sheep every twenty-four hours,
then planted in turnips and eaten off
again by the sheep. No other manure
was put on it for the cotton, either com
mercial or home made.
With such facts as these staring us
daily in the face, how long will a people
of intelligence fold their arms and sub
mit to being destroyed by piece meals
b} T the many worthless dogs which in
fest our land ?
In the absence of a law to put a stop
to their number, I would say that the
Agricultural Society would do a good
to offer a premium for the person who
brings proof of having killed the greatest
number of dogs, at its next fair provided
it is satisfactorily shown that they were
of no value ; and I think it safe to say
a good dog is not going to be in a bad
place, or apt to be hurt fcv any good cit
izen.
I noticed not long since that in Wilkes
county a freedman killed two dogs at
one shot, in the night, the dogs being
killed ou the eleventh sheep whmh they
had killed that night. The Agricultu
ral Society, taking a practical view of
the good conduct of this man, gave him
a premium of $2, and they would have
done well to pay him S2O, if others
would have followed his example on that
score.
What say our people to a dog law.
with such a state of things existing in
our midst ? Shall we have dogs and
no sheep, or sheep and no dogs, except
such as are good ones, and worth being
paid for? I think many cold feet and
bodies of poor children would say down
with the Jogs, for hard times, with poor ,
clothes and cold weather warn us of the ;
folly of such a course as is now carried
on. Respectfully yours, Gordon.
Terrible Ship Disaster.
London, December I. —ThejYille du
Havre from Now York for Havre sunk
at sea. Over 200 lost.
The ship Trouiontain from New York,
arrived at Cardiff at aa early hour this
morning, bringing intelligence of a
dreadful disaster to the steamship Yille
du Havre, which left New York on the
15th of November for Havre, under
command 'of Capt. Surmont, at two
o’clock on the morning of the 22d of
November. The Ville du Havre colli
ded with the British Lechearne frbm
London, for New York, and sunk short
ly after and two hundred and sixty-six
passengejn on the steamship lost their
lives. The Tremontain received eighty
seven of her passengers and crew, and
brought them to Cardiff.
New York, December 1. —The Yille
du Havre carried no steerages. Had
130 cabin passengers. Crew about
150.
Capt. Surmont, the commander of the
Yille du Havre, is fleet Commodore,
and has been in the service of the line
since its organization.
Judge Pechatn, who was among the
lost, was one of the most prominent
members of New Y"ork State, and was
Judge of the Court of Appeal. The
ship was 12,000 tons burthen, drawing
twenty feet of water. She was launched
at Glasgow, Scotland, in November,
1869. Her dimensions are, length 236
feet, beam 35 feet and depth of hold 11
feet. She was in this port in Septem
ber, ISM, and attracted much attention
as she lay at her dock in the East Riv
er. She was of what is known among
the ship builders as a medium model.
The officers of the Yille du Havre re
ported to be saved are the captain, sec
ond captain, second officer, third officer,
fourth officer, and purser Eighty-seven
persons were saved. Several notable
Boston families aboard. The Yille du
Havre was the Napoleon gill, al
tered and enlarged, and, except the
Great Eastern, was the largest ship ever
left port.
Robinson’s Circus Attacked by Frontier
Ruffians—Three Killed and Several
Wounded,
St. Louis, Dee I.—The Kansas
City Journal of yesterday has a private
letter from Crockett, Texas, stating that
a party of Texas desperadoes attempted
to break up the performance of John
Robinson’s Circus at Jacksonville on
the 23d of November, but were pre
vented and order restored. About five
o’clock in the evening, however, as the
circus men were loading their animals,
wagons, etc., on the cars preparatory to
leaving the town, a large number of
roughs attacked the men with knives
and pistols. A general and desperate
fight ensued, in which three Texans
were killed, several wounded and six
circus men wonnded. Robert Stickney
had his knee dislocated and it is feared
he will never be able to ride again.—
Allen Rose, another performer, was shot
through the hand. Chas. Robinson
was knocked down with a club. Three
canvas men were shot through the legs;
one hostler through the breast; and
another stabbed in the back. As the
train was leaving town it was fired on
and one man slightly wounded. Threats
were made by the Texans that they
would go to Crockett and again attack
the circus, and Robinson has sent to
Houston for ammunition.
Scene in the Griffin News office :
Next comes a poor devil who has been
“-closed out,” and asks for Judge
Brown. We tell him he is not in.—
“ Well,” says he to us who know less
about law than a hog does about Sun
day, “ can these fellers take all my corn
on their bonds and leave my wife and
children to starve, after my wife and
children have worked hard all the year
to make it ?” We answer that we think
they can and if that don’t satisfy the
claim, no doubt the man who holds the
bonds will send for the children, as they
are now considered as property. With
hands clasped, and a face full of agony,
the poor devil goes down stairs in search
of a hungry lawyer for advise, and per
haps gives him his last shilling. [We
may be wrong in our opinion,but our un
derstanding of the law is, that when a
farmer signs one of those bonds, he sells
his wife, children, home provision, and
everything.] And thus have matters
gone on in our sanctum for several
weeks.
The Modoc Life Prisoners.—
Among the prisoners at Alasraz are the
two Modocs, Arancho and Slolux, who
were sentenced by the Military Com*
mission to confinement for life. If they
appreciate the situation, they must be
either stoical or indifferent, for their
punishment bears lightly upon them
The scamps say they have plenty to eat,
and wear as good clothes as the majori
ty of the circle in which they move. —
They apparently enjoy being lionized
when pointed out to a visitor as two of
the terrible warriors who participated
in the Peace Commission murder.—
Their industrial energies are at present
directed toward the very useful occupa
tion of cleaning bricks from a field of
great extent, in view of the substitu
tion of earth works for the old time
brick casements. — San Francisco BnU

The Oldest Man Alive. —The
very oldest of living mortals has at last
been brought to light by the Anglo-
Brazilian Times, in the person of Jose
Mortinus Continho, born at Saquavena,
May 20, 1694. and the father of forty
two children, from whom have descend
ed in the four successive generations
one hundred and twenty-three, eighty
six, twenty-three, and twenty others,
making two bundled and ninety four in
dividuals of whom he is the ancestor. —
A slight stiffness iu his legs is the only
physical mark which his hundred and
seventy nine years of life have placed
upon Mr. Continho, and his mental pow
ers are still such as to enable him to di
gest the “ news from Spain/’ which he
eagerly reads each day without the aid
of glasses.
Let us have a Constitutional Conven
tion.
The present constitution of Georgia
is the work of the adventurers and
plunderers who floated into the State
upon the wave of reconstruction. —
Conceived in iniquity and established
by intimidation, violence and fraud, the
people owe it to themselves and the fair
fame of* Georgia to wipe it out, and
frame their organic law from the old
State Constitution making such altera
tions and additions as may be necessary
to conform to the changed condition of
affairs. There is no good reason now
why this Convention should not be held.
The fear of Federal interference being
I removed, we are free to remodel our
Constitution upon the basis of the old
instrument. We should no longer de
pend upon carpet-baggers and scalawags
for a State Constitution. Their press
ence and power having departed, it i
proper that not a vestige of their infa
mous regime should remain. The work
of their hand should be speedily con
signed to the political grave in which
the authors of our woes h; ve been
buried. Redeemed and regenerated,
Georgia should have a State Constitu
tion framed in accordance with the sov
ereign will of her people. And the time
is now most opportune. The Legisla
ture meets in January. Let the people
meet in county conventions, and in
struct their representatives accordingly.
Chronicle & Sentinel.
A Singular and Almost Fatal Accident.
One of the strangest accidents, and
ore, too, which came very near proving
fatal, happened to Mr. John W. Cohen
one day last week. Mr. Cohen was
standing on the wharf of the Boston
steamship line, and a rain coming up
he started to run aboard the ship. Just
as he reached the gang plank and placed
his foot upou it he slipped and fell. A
negro laborer happened to be standing
quite near with his back toward the
ship and with a cotton hook fastened in
his leather belt as they are usually car
ried.
In falling Mr. Cohen’s head passed
near the cotton hooks, which entered
the left side of his neck under and a
little behind the ear, the point of the
hook being buried deep into the flesh
and cutting a very severe gash. The
pain was so great that the young man
was for the moment perfectly helpless,
and could not extricate himself, Assis
taoce was immediately at hand, howev
er, and the hook was pulled out, when
the blood gushed from the wound.
Mr. Cohen was taken to Dr. Arnold’s
office and his wound properly dressed.
The doctor is of the opinion that the
least varying of the direction of the
instrument would have sent it into the
jugular vein, and death mast have en
sued. Yerily, one cannot tell by what
singular and unexpected accident he
may be called upon to “ shuffle off this
mortal coil.”— Savannah Advertiser.
Why the South is Poor.
The Columbus Enquirer says the
South is poor, not because we have less
thrift or intelligence than other sections,
but because we do not wisely use our
gifts. The profits of our labor go to
enrich Europe, and the North and West.
Though our cotton amounts annually to
hundreds of millions it must go abroad
to pay for almost everything we eat and
wear. Perhaps a hundred millions go
to Europe, France and Germany, for
extravagant dressing and fancy goods,
twice as much more to the West to pay
for provisions, furniture, etc. Our ag
ricultural implements are nearly all made
abroad. How much goes to Cincinnati
for whisky ? How much in Tennessee
and other States for guano, hay, dressed
poultry, pork and Bologna sausage ?
Why cannot our farmers raise poultry,
and why not our butchers make as good
sausage as Tennessee or any other State?
Thus in thousands of ways our profits
are borne away, and we are left with
out money, completely at the mercy of
those upon whom we are dependent.—
It is time our people were reflecting se
riously upon their vassalage, and turn
ing their attention to ways and means
to prevent the outflow of money from
our midst. Let us encourage home pro
duction in every possible way, for only
by so doing can we hope to regain our
former position of wealth and independ
ence.
The following sad affair is said to have
occurred in Moscow, Russia, conceding
a young betrothed couple : The girl
was a great beauty, the lover was the
son of rich parents, and on her birth
day obtained-leave to celebrate it with
fetes to be given at her father’s house.
The fi.st evening at dinner the
young man drank deeply, and be
came intoxicated, when his conduct was
so violent that the guests all retired,
and he was with difficulty conveyed to
his father’s house. The next day, how
ever, he presented himself at the ball
he had arranged, and danced with his
betrothed. When the dance was ended
the young lady requested the baud to
play a favorite air, and retired alone to
the balcony, whence immediately after
ward was heard the report of a pistol,
and the young lady was found to have
shot herself through the heart with a
revolver she had concealed. A letter
found up< n her person assigned the dis
covery of her intended husband’s brutal
nature as the motive for the act.
The Prospect Brightening.—
The New York Bulletin, which takes
pains to be well posted in regard to bus
iness and financial matters, in its issue
of Monday says : “ The mail advices
from nearly all the great business cen
tres, East, West and South, we are glad
to say, exhibit additional indications of
steady recovery. There is an improved
feeling, both as regards money aud
merchandize, with a conviction that the
general tendency of things, now, is to a
sounder basis than before the panic.—
This, of itself, is confidence—a thing
which for some time past has been as
scarce as cash. Money is dear yet, and
havd to get at many points, it is true ;
and it is true also, th„t is but lit
tle alleviation of distress among the in
dustrial classes; but it is something to
know, over and above all, that if the
process of recuperation is slow' and pain
ful, it is sure and steady.”
What Old Jtifie Thinks.
Old Jubal Earlv, a pretty good “ex- I
Conted,” has written a letter to the
Lynchburgh Virginian, which has the
ring of the true metal and erelong will
become the popular sentiment in the
South He says;
“ What has the ‘nation,’ whose name
wc -ire called upon to vindicate, done to
protect our rights and our liberties, that
we should be in such a burry to see
that the Congress, at whose hands we
have*had nothing but.wrong and indig
nity, should bring this Cuban question
to a close at once ? No, sir ; it’ the
fair name of this nation is to be vindi*
cated, let the work be begun at home
by undoing the many wrongs inflicted
upon the people of the South. \\ bile
they stare us in the face, it is idle to
talk to us about the supp ?\M insult to
the flag, by the capture of a vessel cn
gaged in an unlawful attempt to aid a
mere faction in Cuba in the effort to
subvert the legitimate government of
that island and set the negroes free.”
Famine in Northwestern lowa.
The statement that there is a famine in
the Northwestern part of lowa, and
that many of the inhabitants are dying
of starvation, is a startling nnnomice
meet, but there is evidence that the re
port is only too true. In a dispatch to
the Des Moines Register, dated Novem
ber 17, it is said that in 1872 good
cr‘*ps were raised in the uortwes?errs
part of the Sfat", and the people had
an abundance of food. In the spring
of 1873 every preparation was made for
a large; crop of small grain All went
well until about th!: Ist of June, when
the grasshoppers earns and entirely ru
ined the crop. A great many :i home
steaders,” foreseeing the present situa- 1
tion, left the country, but hundreds of
families lacked the means necessary for
travel and were'compelled to remain.—
A little corn of inferior quality was
saved in some sections, and plenty of
hay of the best grade was made, so that
will not be without support.
The form of another human body,
which had been impressed in the ashe3
of Pompeii, has been preserved in plas
ter of Paris. The cast is said to be ex
tremely beautiful, and for superior to
any which have been hitherto taken.
The head is a portrait, the nose is long
and decidedly aquiline, the lips full and
half open, the ears enormously large.—
There is no muscular contraction indic
ative of a violent death, and the whole
person, which is in the pose of one who
sleeps a placid sleep, shows that this
unhappy citizen of Pumpeii died of
asphyxia.

WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, *AND DAILY.
THE WEEKLY SUN itftoo widely known
ta require any extended recommendation;
but the reasons which have already given if
fifty thousand -übscribers, and which will,
we hope, give it many thousands more, are
briefly as follows :
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the nSws
of the day will be, found in it, condensed
when unimportart. at full length whefi of
moment, and always presented in a clear,
intelligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-rate family paper, full of en
tertaining arid instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend
the most delicate and scruplous taste.
