To the Democracy of the Ninth

I would hereby notify the Democratic
party of the Ninth Congressional District,
and the Committeemen of the different
counties in the District to lio’d their pri
mary election for the purpose of sending
delegates to :he Democratic Convention,
to he held at Gainesville on
September next, to nominate a candidate
for Congress.

Democratic Convention.
Elsewhere, will be found a call^for a Con
vention of the Demociatic party, of this
county, for the transaction of such business
ns makes it necessary to bring the parly to
gether at this time. The duties of the Con
vention as indicated in the notice ore such as
should command a full turnout ot the party,
and it is greatly to be hoped that every Dem
ocratic citizens of the county will be present.
The thorough reorganization and arousement
of the Democracy, at this the beginning of
the most important political campaigns which
perhaps it has ever been our duty to engage
in, is highly essential to that success which
we hope and expect to crown our efforts at
the approaching October and November elec
tions. Then Democrats of Clarke county
leave not this the duty of a few, hut make it
the work of the whole party. There will lie
business before the Convention in which ev
ery Democratic voter should have a voice.
Then let every one tum out. Let their be
no more grounds for the cry of “ cut and
dried—packed conventions’’ etc. These are
the rallying cries of independent candidates,
the encouragement of which will prove an
inevitable barrier to that Democratic success
this fall, through which the whole country
hopes reform. These evils are the results of
indifference and non-attendance upon public
meetings and need only as their remedy a
full and complete coming-together of the
people. Those who negleet these public calls,
and fail thereby to avail themselves of the
opportunity of ordering things in accordance
with the will of the majority, have but poor
grounds to complain of what is done by,
perhaps, the minority. Then let there be a
regular mass media y on next Friday, that
the business of the Democratic party may be
done in accordance with, and in respect to,
the will of the people.
In regard to the selection of delegates
to the Congres.-ional Convention to meet
in Gainesville on the 13th day of Sept,
next, we would beg leave to submit the
following views. Aside from the duty
of Clarke county as well ns the 9th,

coverofan “excursion.” TheNewOrleans
Democrat®, however, gave timely notifica
tion of the scheme to the Mobilians, who
at once prepared the most complete and
prudent arrangements to frustrate the
bloody sliirt schedule, and so it was given
up as likely to be an unprofitable invest
ment , .
So the Alabama election comes in the
shape of a contemporaneous commentary
on Bontwell and Morton’s Mississippi man
ifesto, and extracts the sting of the bumble
bee. That hash of partiznn misrepresenta
tion and malignant hate, though it comes
hot from the furnace of partizau venom, is
fmtid while it steams. The people will not
swallow the concoetion.

Why You Should Buy Your Groceries and Provisions from

First. Because we buy from first hands and save the profit usually

The Letters of Acceptance.
We print upon onr first page this morn
ing the longl joked-for Letters of Acceptance
from Governors Tilden and Hendricks.
The reading of these papers, manly and
statcsmanlik?, clear aud forcible that they
arc, carry us back to tbc days of true pa
triotism anti statesmanship and supply the
hop£ that tho government is indeed drift
ing to pilots who, understanding her work
ings and a ware of her plight, can man
her through the coming breakers. Gov.
Tiidcn’s prcnunciamento is bold and em
phatic; iu wtdeh Ire* meets every issue of the
day firmly and squarely and with a vim.
His dealing- with that most gigantic and
intricate of questions—the financial issue—
is convincing', and clearly shows that, himself
a close stulent of political economy, he
possesses a rnind and tact singularly capac
itated to grapple this perplexing problem,
and Atlas-like, to shoulder the enormous
question in its cnticty. Gov. Tilden is
moving fairly out upon the reform track
and demonstrates that all subsidiary barriers
to reconciliation between the sections, are
but pigmies indeed, to tho unjust and op
pressive 8} stem of local taxation, which is
particularly grinding to tho Southern or
productive portion of our country.
tiov. Hendricks, too, finds himself in
perfect accord with the St. Louis platform,
and indeed, his letter proves to the masses,
the most intelligible of the two, as he does
not penetrite into the financial labyrinths
as deeply as his more accurate colleague.
Upon the whole, the letters ore grand pro
ductions, and open the campaign in hand
some stylo.

predict that his third term will more fully

Mr. J. C. C. Black, a true statesman and
Christian gentleman, will amply sustain his
able record won iu the last two years, and
gives promise of great usefulness to his
State. Indeed, Richmond county will do a

A petition signed by some of the most
influential citizens of Troup connty, re
questing A. IL Cox, Esq., of LaGrange, to

be purely “ sjmntaneous and unsolicited,”
and is highly complimentary to that young

Alabama Election.
As tbc best summary of Alabama’s late
forty thousand Democratic success over
Radicalism, we give the following from tbc
Macon Telegraph and Messenger:
“The lato election in Alabama confuses
the Radical programme. Throughout the
Sttte not a single altercation took place at
the polls. That solitary organ of Radical
ism, the Montgomery State Journal, says
that the election there “ was as quiet as a
Sabbath gathering,” and so it was every-
wljere, and yet, Alabama gave forty thou-
sand anti Radical majority./ It is suscepti
ble of proof that the Louisana Radical
leaders had digested a plan to get up a fuss
in Mobile on election day, an integral part
of 'which was the exportation of two, tnon-
Athens, Aug. 5th, ’7G.
Ron. II. II. Carlton—
Dear Sir : As I have hitherto informed
you, your suggestions for the action of the
Board of Trustees of the University, were
referred to a special committee of five.
No. 1, has been the practice of the Board
to keep the Agricultural fund separate aud
distinct from the funds of the University.
No 2, has been the rule of the Boaid to
keep expenditures strictly within income.
The repeals sought in Nos. 3 and 4, have
been made.
Tire* 8th suggestion lias been adopted—
to make the]>osUion of Chancellor honorary,
to preside at annual Commencements, aud
confer degrees in the various dcjKtrtmeuts
of the University, after twelve months from
date.
The 9th suggestion will follow, when
the Chancellor becomes an honorary posi
tion.
The 5th, 6th, 7th and lOtli propositions,
are under consideration of the Committee,
and will be reported upon, for the consid
eration of the Board, at the next animal
meeting. Indeed, that Committee is
charged with the broad subject of the entire
organization and discipline of all depart
ments of tho University. To which end,
time for fuller consideration was deemed
avUable.
I trust all interests in the State, as to
education, will be fully harmonized, and
the highest interests of the University be
promoted.
I have the honor to be very respectfully,
