RECALL PETITIONS
 MAY BE WT|ATED
Question Raised That Peti- tion Does Not Specify
 Names of Individuals

Montgomery, July 5.-(Special)- Failure of the petitioners to comply with section 13 of the act establishing commission government in Montgomery may vitiate the petitions which are no" being circulated for the recall of the commissioners, according to stand taken by the commissioners friends in this city. It seems that the 10 or lz petitions now in circulation call for a recall of the entire board, rather than specifying individual recall as was in- tended by the act, according to what information can be gathered
 The present petitions against the commissioners seek to retire the entire body. an alleged misconstruction of the section of the act which states that several petitions can be put in circula- tion at one time. Friends of the com missioners are now claiming that the pa rticular section permitted several in struments' In order to avoid delay, but that the several instruments were to request the recall of a single commis- sioner at one time.
 Commission government is having somewhat of a rocky road in the city, especially in view of the attitude of a number of malcontents who are all legirg that the present board of five comm tssioners are opposed to the new form of government. Several weeks ago these malcontents submitted a pe- tition for a referendum election on whether or not the citizens would stand for adoption of an ordinance to pay a street tax of 8 per year, but the peti- tion was not honored. though signed by the requisite number of voters, on the

Colonel John at Odenyille

Ashyille, July 5.-tSpecial. )-As was ex- pected, July the Fourth was a great day in Odenville. great crowd was pres ent, composed of something like 1000 people.
 At lo:sO a. nn after the crowd had gath cred, J. S. E. Robinson of Ashville sug- gested the name of Col. John w. Inzer of Ashville to be president and Terry Hodges of Odenville to be secretary. They were electd without dissenting vote. Imme- diately after being made president, Col. Inzer called the meeting to order and ad- dressed the gathering, explaining that they had assembled here to form coun- ty reunion of the old soldiers who fought in the war of 1861 tot 1865. At the close Of Colonel Inser's address he introduced Col. Sam Will John of Birmingham. Thomas M. Owens for some reason could not be present. but the flag and sword of an old veteran of this county was sent to the gathering.
 Colonel John first talked of Independ- ence day and then the war of 1861 to 60, and paid great tribute to the old soldiers, officers, and especially to the great gen. eral, R. E. Lee.
 Mir. Wyatt of Moody's paid respect to the old soldiers and veterans of the county and elsewhere. He made the remark that the north was greatly indebted to the south for the many things 1t has done for them.
 A great commotion among the old sol- diers was caused when Colonel Inzer pre- sented the flag of the Thirty-second and Fifty-eighth Alabama consolidated regl- ments and a sword of an officer of the county. As soon as the flag was pre- sented, the old soldiers rushed forward with tears in their eyes. They knelt down and kissed the old flag which they once walked under Some of the old ladies and young men and women did the same thing. At this period 1t was like an old camp meeting. In Colonel 1nzor's spech on presenting the flag he said: We are no rebels. for we have followed every line of the constitution of the state and the United States Under the constitution of that time the states had right to secede and we are not given our rights when we are called rebels. After the war, in my mind. the United States the same as made an apology that the southern states had not violated the constitution by adding an amendment that no state shall secede from the Union.
 "A splendid picnic dinner was spread under the shade of the many trees in the grove, and the crowd was well fed
 Miss Woodall of springville called for all the old soldiers to come forward and give her their names and she would get them an honorary badge from headquar- ters. In answer to this about 75 gave their names.
 A resolution by J. c. Green of Pell City to raise fund for a monument to be erected in this county to the memory of the old soldiers was agreed to and a com mittee of 12 is to be appointed by the president to look into this matter.
 After this the county Confederate Vet erans reunion of the county was officially launched, with Colonel Inzer president and Terry Hodges secretary. The meeting adjourned sine die, but will probably meet at Odenville the next time as it is the most central place in ths county.

As this is a rather garrulous letter. l will mention the anecdote that when John Stuart Mills servant girl kindled the fire with the manuscript of Carlyles
 French Revolution" Mill would sooner have faced a battery of artillery in &C., tion than to carry the news of his loss to the grim old Scotchman. But he was forced to do it, and we have speculation of the tremendous profanity with which Carlisle greeted his tidings. Before he set about writing his splendid master piece, Carlyle got all of Marryat's novels and read each one from lid to lid
 And where will you find more diverting stories? If you have 8 bright boy of ten, get him Marryats novels and invite him to read them. if he is at all in- clined to the studious, they will give him the reading habit" the choicest of bless ings. I do not know what Carlyle's orig inal French Revolution" contained. but we may be sure that the classic he made when he re-wrote it was an improvement. But why did he send out for the two score novels of Msrryate Perhaps to soothe him to good humor.

Washington, July 5.-(Speciai. 1.-The Gait House in Louisville was one of the most famous hotels in the United States and 1t was known the world over. In the elder day it was whg headquarters and the home of Henry Clay when in Louis ville. Webster was it's guest, as were Rufus Choate, Tom Corwin and Robert C. Winthrop. The landlord was prince ly man-Throckmorton. he literally wroshiped Henry Clay. 10 whom he paid this tribute:
 Take him in the Senate, at the bar, on the stump in the courts abroad where diplomacy is the test of excellence, and, by Jupiter. Henry Clay is captain of every crowd he gets into.
 It is related that the old landlord shared his idealsm of Clay with the greatest of race horses. Eclipse, and one day he exclasned to a party of enthusi- sstic and sympathetic whig@ friends; Eclipse among horses and Henry Clay among men-frst, and the rest nowhere.
 It Is doubtful If there was better tavern anywhere in the world than the Gait House. Its mint julep alone would have made it illustrious, and its roast beaf was luxury perpetual, though they did say that when it came to milk and butter the Louisville hotel, further down the street, when kean looked after the dining room, beat the old Galt.
 The English novelist. Captain MaTyat of the British navy, stopped at the Gait when in this country. He had been reared in a society where a tavernkeeper could not be a gentleman; but Colonel Throck- morton taught him a lesson on that score and made him understand that in our glorious union man the manager of such hotel as the Gait House could be a very princely gentleman. Captain Marry at saw his error and apologized, the only thing a gentleman could do under the cir oumstanoes.
