We appeal to eath citizen of Athene
and Clarke county io invest every surplus
dollar for the completion of this great en
terprise, of such vital importance to all our
people and Northeast Georgia.
The Northeasteni Railroad Company
leant to raise 8130,000 by loan, on notes at
12 and 18 months, which sum will complete
the road, or insure its completion beyond
jicradcenturc.
Seven of the Directors are pledged to ad
vance in the aggregate 865,000; one gen
tleman, who is neither a Director or Stock
holder, 85,000, and others, who are Stock
holders, smaller amounts.
Other citizens of Athens, equally inter
ested in the prosperity of the city, will surely
contribute, as the loan would be as well se
cured us any investment that could be
made.
For further information, please consult
John Calvin Johnson, Ferdinand Piiix-
izv, or U. L. Moss.
modistes of Timbnctoo and Borneo have
hitherto encouraged tbair present light and
airy costjtane.
If Mr. Augustus Watson vronl
little mercantile oaperiment, by offerjpg
twenty millions a limited 1 neof cheap knee-
breeches and hoop-skirts, for fall and win
ter wear, and if the venture should succeed,
he would find much less difficulty in placing
the stock of the Great Central African
Railroad than, wc fear, he will now en
counter.
Mr. Augustus Watson has onr best
wishes, and when the G. C. A. R. R. is
completed, we hope he will not forget to
send us the usual complimentary pass.

The idea seems prevalent that, because
several prominent members of the House
of Representatives arc mentioned in con
nection with the Speakership, there will be
a scrub race for that important office.
This is a mistake. As soon as Congress
meets there will be a caucus of the Demo
cratic members of the House, in which the
candidate will be elected, who will, ot
course, receive the entire vote of the party.
Among tho most prominent aspirants is
M. C. Kerb, of Indiana, an old member of
tlie body, of marked ability, proved integ
rity, and thorough knowledge of the rules
and usages of Copgress. He is an avowed
hard money man. Samuel Randall, of
Pennsylvania, is also in the front rank. He,
also, is a man of ability, experience and
popularity. He is rather weak on the cur
rency question, being too much of a hard
money man to please the inflationists, and
UNIVERSITY NOTES.
As a courtesy to the friends of Educa
tion throughout the South, we commence
in this issue of the Georgian the publica
tion of a scries of brief Historical Sketches,
comprising the entire Faculty of our Uni
versity. The name of “Waddell” iias
been so long and faithfully associated with
our Alma Mater, that we deem it proper
to commence our Pen Pictures with this
family so remarkable as teachers and di*
cip'iuarians.
Rev. Moses Waddell, D. D., fourth
President of the Uuive aity ofGcorgia, was
elected to the Presidency in 1819. The
College had been suspended during the
years 1817,1818 and 1819, because of the
inability of the Board to procure a Pres.-
dent alter the death of Dr. Finley. Dr.
Waddell having been induced to take
charge, of the Institution, immediately
raised it to the high rank it has maintain
ed tor 65 vears. He held the office from
1819 till 1829.
Prof. James P. Waddell, A. M.,
son of Dr. Moses Waddell, graduated at
the University of Georgia in 1822, was
elected immediately Tutor of Ancient Lan
guages, and held the office two years. In
1836 be was elected Professor of Ancient
Languages,and filled the chair for 20 years,
resigning in 1856.
lie was one of the most accomplished
classical scholars in this country and a
most successful and faithf 1 professor. He
died in Athens in 1867.
Prof. Wm, Henry Waddell, A. M.,
son of the above and randson of the Presi
dent, present incumbent of the chair of
the Latin Language in t* e University of
Georgia, was born in South Carolina in
1834, graduated with first honor at Uni
versity of Georgia in 1852, was elected
Tutor of Ancient Languages in 1853, and
has been a member of the Faculty ever
since. In 1858 he was elected Adjunct
Professor of Ancient Languages, and in 1%60
full Professor. In 1872, the chair havirg been
divided, he was elected Professor of Latin;
is the author of two Grammers, one of the
Latin, the other of the Greek Language
During the entire existence of the College,
there has been no year in which some mem

too much of a soft money man to satisfy
the specie resumptionists. In liis efforts to . official connection with the Institution,
steer clear of Scylla and Charybdis, he has j
suffered damage from both. S. S. Cox, of
New York, formerly of Ohio, will find sup
porters in the caucus. He is an old mem
ber, an adroit parliamentarian, a ready de
bater, and “a fellow of infinite jest.’’ It
would be a mistake to make him Speaker,
lie would not fill the Cha'r, and then, he
would be a great loss npon the floor, where
his inexhaustible wit and humor serve to
relieve agreeably the dreary dead level of
Congressional debate. Fernando Wood,
of«Ncw York, is also an aspirant. He is
a good speaker on set occasions, rather
than a ready debater. His “ d. portment”
is everything that could be desired, but,
General Babcouk is said to wear a dia
mond pin valued at $1,500, which shows
that helping to “ run the crooked” has its
reward.
The old and yet unat swered questions
“Who struck Billy Patterson?” and “Who
killed Tecumseh ?” are now superseded iu

My Dear Sin: Yorif'fovor of the 17th
and also the paper has come to hand. 1 In re-
ply, would say I am no newspaper writer, as
my time is wholly taken, up.in manufactu
ring. •' . ; * ;a
We have had a dull time in that
business the past two years, but I think we
have seen the worst of it. There has sprung
up a large export demand for goods of late
which has cleared the markets 6f brown
goods, and will cause an itacrease in prices.
The mills I represent are sold ahead of pro^
duction several weeks and are running to
their fullest capacity, and in my judgment,
wc need have no fears of an over pr duc
tion of cotton goods.
Very respectfully,

My Duae Sir : I cannot avoid replying
to your very friendly communication of the
17th inst , and I do so with the greatest
pleasure as I am a Southern man by biitli
and by feeling. . , ' <
I have no experience as you suppose in
manufacturing in Europe. For the last
twenty-five years of my life, I have devoted
my mind and attention to the manufac
turing if cotton and wool iu this State, and
I have found manufacturing, when attended
to with knowledge and prudence, to be as
safe as any other regular pursuit.
During this period, I have frequently had
this matter of making yams for export to
Europe discussed. I never have seen the
day when I thought tor a moment, it would
be done—nor Can it taow be made a business
of profit.
Always carry in your miiid that, as man
ufacturers, we arc highly protected by the
tariff upon fmprirtq and a domestic market
for what we make. This domestic market
is now over-stocked, and heiice the daily
lowering of prices to make sales.
Wc must either bum the surplus, as the
Dutch did their coffee, or trv to export the
same as we are now doing—in which, we
are aided by the 15 per cent, premium on
gold. I have no idea the first 'yard has
been exported at a profit; it Is phly a make
shift to enable the factories to work and
obtain a living price in the protected mar
ket.

Wedding in High. Life.—Last night,

roichtree street. Dr. R. B. Ridley and Miss
Ettohia Leila Hill, daughter of the former
gentleman, were united iu the holy bonds of
marriage by Rev. Dr. Speer.
1 In lone of the- handsomest residences of
Atlanta some two hundred guests were assem
bled, mostly old friends of the family, form
ing one of the most elegant companies ever
gathered in < or city. When Athens and
LaGnnge combine, it is our opinion that
the acme of refinement and elegance is reach
ed. The beautiful bride, in her rich attire,
was the centre of universal attraction and
theadmiratiou of all. The proud aud hap
py bridegroom, an elegant gentleman and
an ■ accomplished physician, was accorded
the greatest praise that could be bestowed,
as being the worthy (ecijgent and guardian
of so great a treasure. “
The supper was a most magnificent and re
cherche one; every delicacy, setoff in the
most costly style, the richest viands amidst
the glitter of lavish wealth. To a anion so
auspiciously begun we wish, most heartily,
the crown of a long and happy wedded life.

GRAND JURY MESENTMUTS.
CLARKE COUNTY.
W/E, THE GRAND JURY SELECT-
Y Y ed, chosen sod sworn for the August Term of
Clarke Superior Court, end serving at this adjourned
term of said Court, ask leave to make 'the following
general presentment*:
We have so receutly, and, as wo trust, so thoroughly
examined into and reported upon the affairs conn.cte'd
with each and eviry county office, that we have no ad
ditional report to make; except that the Tux Collector
has come before our body at this session, and explained
to our entire satisfaction his insolvent list, which wc
had in August presented as incomprehensible; and we
are gratified to be able to report the amount of insolvent
eounty tux for this year, after deducting collections made
since August Court, at le-a than $400. The public
roads are in good ouuditiou, witn the exception of that
portion between the Uuiversity High School and Mr.
W. W. Lumpkin’s gate, and u portion ortliat between
Anderson Smith’s and the lane leading to Mr. Jerry
Gray’s, both in the corporate limits oftbeCity of Athena;
and the. new rock filling at eacu end of the lower bridge
ov.rthe Oconee river, also within the city limits. Tne
first two need immediate attention, or wUl become im
passible us soon us tne winter rains and freezes set iu:
the latter needs to be beaten down, and the cracks and
crevices filled with rock chip to prevent the breaking
of veuicles which are c utinually passing to and from Uie
Georgia Railroad Depot, on this the main tiioroughfaro
of the city and of the county. We therefore recommend
that, in the event the cii\ uut iionties do not take steps to
certain distrust which will diminish his
chances. He is immensely rich, enterta'ns
gorgeously, and would give Speaker’s din
ners long to he remembered ; but his en
trees and wine, however exquisite, will not
be enough to elect him Speaker. Ex-Gov
ernor Gilhert C. Walker, of Virginia, is
mentioned—barely mentioned. He is good
looking, behaved so much better as carpet
bag Governor of Virginia than all the others
of that class that he obtained the favor and
confidence of respectable people, and pos
sesses a certain amount ot ability; but he
is not a Democrat. He is a “ Conservative
Republican,” and therefore, when the
Democratic majority is so overwhelming,
it is not at all probable that the Democrats
will l>e passed over to select Mr. Walker.
If for policy sake a Conservative Repub
lican were to he chosen, N. P. Banks, of
Massachusetts, would have a much better
chance, because he is more able, far mere
experienced, and much more popular.
When Mr. Banks was Speaker, (1856-8)
although political extiterfient ran very high,
he was owmmendcd foT his impartiality,
fairness and able discharge of his duties,
by both political parties.
According to present appearances, the
race is between Messrs. Kerb and Ran
dall, but it may very well be that some
“ dark horse” will win.

Mr. Augustus Watson knows more
