The Executive committee of the
Georgia Agricultural Fair have held a
meeting, at which the insult offered to
General Butler was under considera-
tion. The action taken is of a very gen.
eral and indirect character. Among
other things they say they neither exs
pected to entice distinguished Taen by
what they had to exhibit, nor, on the
other hand, did they intend to be OBJ
sequious. They resolved that their
Fair Grounds were open ia aei Of all
SECTIONS, and all are assured of a cor
dial welcome. Several of the promi-
nent men who were invited from this
pity have made known their intention
not to go if the committee do not re-
pudiate the insult put upon General
Butler. Who cares whether they at
tend or not?
