J. c. STANTON'S RECEPTION AT CHAT.
TAN00GA.
He Does not Propose to Run Away.


EDITORS CHRONICLE The editor O
the daily Times of this city appears in al
article on the 10th inst, purpOrting to bt
an obituary notice of one J. G.. Stanton
deceased. HE p III
1t is not surprising to those who know
Kirby, that he should be under the con-
troll of superstitious illusions. During the
past six weeks or two months, nearly
every day, he has predicted that said j. c.
Stanton would never return to this section
OF the country; he has stated that he was
a grand rascal who had come here with
the premeditated purpose of defrauding
all classes of persons with whom he had
business relations; that he had already ac-
cumulated an immense fortune in the con-
struction of the Alabama and Chattanooga
Railroad, aud was not so palpably foolish
as to return and be harrassed by the hon.
est creditors along the line of the road and
elsewhere, who had been duped by his
promises. EEW
Lo! Behold On Saturday evening last,
the said ]. G. Stanton, i'a propiG persona,
arrived on the train from Nashville, look
ing hale and hearty. &c
Kirby, upon his arrival, announces that
it is "Stanton's ghost revisiting the
glimpses of Chattanooga The miserable
driveler was, by the appearance of Mr..
L,
and seeks to cover his crime by screening
himself behind a ghoStLy illusion. The
meagre influence upon the citizens of Chat
tanOOga which the denunciations, ISLANDERS
and lies of this filthy creature has had was
brilliantly illustrated upon the arrival of
Mr.. Stanton in our city Hundreds upon
hundreds of our best citizens pressed ca
gerly forward to grasp him by the hand
and welcome with good cheer the man
who has done more to develop the re-
sources of the country, and add to its
wealth and greatness, than any person
who has ever been among us. The rich
and the poor, the laborer and the man of
leisure, were alike eager to do him honor.
Later in the night, after Mr.. Stanton
had refreshed himself, an immense crowd,
numbering at least two thousand people,
collected in front of the Burns House. vO-
ciferously calling for the appearance of Mr..
Stanton upon the balcony, and would
not take no for an answer. He appeared
in response to their calls, and made brief
earnest, straightforward statement of the
financial conditian of the Company, the
prospect of its immediate release from its
present difficulties, and the payment of
the labor and other debts, and the utter
schemers. He said that he intended to
stay here until the labor debt was paid
and is here yet, although Kirby announced
that he would leave yesterday. s az-e
The audience cheered the remarks of
Mr. Stanton in prolonged huzzahs, while
the booming of cannon and explosion of
fireworks attested the high appreciation of
our people of the exciting scene.
Some thoughtful euss, during this en-
livening time, was quieting the distracted
brain of poor Kirby, with a bottle of
" Mrs. Winslow,s Soothing Syrup" To
the credit of Kirby, he appreciated so thor
oughly this disinterested and appropriate
act of benevolence, that in gratitude he
proffered to remunerate his friend with
corn juice at johnson and Crosby's."
