"Parham had been going on in 4 let
ter dated February 7, 1867, and address,
ed to Rutter, from Nashville,) to mention
the influence he was having with the
Committee appointed to settle with the
Tennessee National Bank, and on that
head he says: The Governor IS dOloR on
Bosson-says he will not do. OF this
both Arnell and FusOn assured me, but
say must not let it be known
NASHVILLE, Feb, 3, l869-Gov Browns
low: The above is true copy of one Of
the letters of Parham to Rutter, and is
contained in the report of the commit
tee to the House. Now, that | ever
made any such statement to Parham, or
anv one else, is utterly false; and in
yindication of myself and justification
of you, have copied the above, which l
address to you, being satisfied that you
never expressed want of confidence in
Col. Bosom, to me, at any time.
Yours, as ever,
J. A. FUsON, Senator
The statement of Parham concerning
Col. Bosom, in the testimony quoted
above, is utterly false, as has been shown
| by the letter of Senator Fuson, and as
will be shown also by the testimony OF
| Mr. Arnell, as soon as he canbe heard
from.
From the time the State Government
was organized, four years ago, to the pres
| ent moment, l have been on friendly and
| confidential relations with Col. Bosom.
He has had my confidence, and the event;
of the past four years have increased
instead of diminishing my confidence il
| him.
1t is gratifying to me that this search
ing investigation by the legislature proves
me to have been entirely free from any
and all completely with the disastrOu;
and criminal perversion Of the schOo
funds, rescued from the rebels Rutter
himself, the late President of the Ten
nessee National Bank, has testified thai
no member of the BrownlOw family haC
received a dollar Cf this money, or wa!
in any wise connected with it.

on this subject for the last two years, vii

Close of the Term.

The first term of the Gallia Acade-
my under its new administration closed
yesterday, (Tuesday.) Reviews and
examinations occupied the greater part
of the day, exhibiting thorough ac-
quaintance with the studies gone over.
In the words of the Principal, Prof
SKIDMoRE, we congratulate the school
upon the progress that has been made
and hope that they will continue to
show further improvement and higher
culture ateach succeeding examination
The young men "orated" very much
like boys usually do when they
"speak," "Not many generations
ago." and similar good selections, SC
familiar to every school boy. We mus
give the young ladies credit for reciting
with more spirit and greater distinct
ness than is usual on such occasions.
One very noticeable and excellent fea.
ture of the school was mentioned by
tha Principal in his closing remarks,
"not a single case of discipline has oc-
CURED during the whole term" With
such respect for their teachers and
zeal for study, they must prosper. We
hope the old friends of this school viii
lend every encouragem ent to it ant
swell its numbers until it shall be a
power for good in our midst.

R A telegram from Richmond,

Va, dated November 23d, says:
arrangements were closed yes
terday, in New York, with several
prominent capitalists, by which the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad will
be completed at once. Among the
capitalists are W. Fl. Aspinwall. c.
Fl. Huntington, Fisk & Hatch, and
others.
What will become of Gallipolis, when
this road is built, and the Kanawha
valley has an outlet ria Sandy? We
think it time our people were paying
more earnest attention to their con
nections with tue outside world, and
to their business interests. Our
natural advantages are superior to
many of our neighbors. Within IS
or % miles of US is the best iron
and coal region in Southern Ohio,
and its natural outlet is Gallipolis-
still all this will not avail if we fold
our arms and remain in onr present
listless inactivity.
We may think, we may talk as we
please of these matters, but in this
age of telegraphs and locomotives,
and of business activity, we may be
sure of one thing, and that is, that
capital and enterprise will follow the
railroad as certain as that the sun
rules the day and the moon governs
the night. This fact is apparent to
every observing mind, and needs no
argument to enforce it. Equally ap-
parent is this other fact, that ifa peo
pie desire success in any given en-
terprise, they must move in the
matter themselves, and not wait for
outsiders TO do it. They must first
help themselves.
But enough of talk. Talking
alone will not do. We must have
action-bold, energetic action
Shall we have it9
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1869-12-02

E We publish elsewhere a call
for the organization of the "as
Company. As preliminary, now
ever, the law requires ten per cent
of the capital stock to be paid up in
money. To this end, the lncorpora-
tors have appointed p. A. SANNs,
Treasurer, and Messrs. E. S. ALE
SHIRE and S. SALAMoN, collectors
This work must be done before the

zation. 1t is hoped, therefore, sub
scribers to the steck of the Com
pany will be ready and prompt in
meeting this essential prerequisite.

~ We clip the following bit of
intelligence from the Cincinnati
Commercial of the 25th, inst, which
We have no doubt will prove interest
ing to the people hereabouts:
The authentic assurance comes
from Richmond that, by the aid of
strong New York capitalists, the
completion OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad is rendered certain,
within the next two or three years.
The railroad is the shortest natural
route from Cincinnati to the Atlantic
Ocean, and to one of the beat har-
bors in the world
BY the by, would it moi be well for
the capitalists and business men of
Cincing att, to begin thinking about a
connection with tue Chesapeake Il
Ohio Railroad. A short read from
here to Hamden wouli do it; while
there is no point equal to this, from
Pittsburg to Cairo, for bridging the
Ohio river.
