[Correspondence Athens Georgian.]
Augusta, Ga., March 7,1877.
Editor Georgian—It was with
the keenest disappointment that we,
in common with Dr. Carlton’s many
friends, in this city heard of his having
been defeated in the Gainesville Con'
vention. The degree of bur disap*
pointment has, however, been fully
equaled by thb prfde and pfateriift
experienced in noting bis manly and
unequivocal endorsement and support.
of’life ffefnlffee of the party/* Tour
correspondent had the pleasure, last
Saturday and Sunday, of- visiting
some of the southern counties of your
district, and feeling much interested
in tiie coming race, made many in
quiries as to the standing of the sev
eral candidates; he was surprised
and mortified to find that Speer’s
fallacious statement as regards the
representation of the several counties,
had made a deep impression upon 4
many minds, and from what we
could gather, were forced to acknowl
edge that the great reform candi
date would receive a heavy vote.
Very serious apprehensions are en
tertained here, that on account of
this miserable split in the party, the
Republicans may elect their candi
date. If such prove to be the' result,
wliat a sad commentary upon the
Banner Democratic State” that one
of her strongest districts should be
mi&rej)resented by a Republican. If
this should happen, truly, will it scein
as if Hayes’ policy of breaking up the
Democratic phalanx of the South,
will have been inaugurated even
without his instigation. It will be a
disgrace aud shame, not only to the
Ninth District, but to the entire State
of Georgia. These independents who
seem more anxious lor sell-aggran
dizement than for the good of our
commou country, ought to, and will
be eschewed. If our ranks become
broken and demoralized in the face
of an enemy flushed with their recent,
but unholy triumpb, what hope can
we entertain of any future success?
Our sole strength and salvation is in
unity. We must close up, shoulder
to shoulde, and heart to heart, reso
lutely and undauntedly support the
principles upon the sqpt ess of which
depends our only hope of regaining
that proud position in the Union
which once was ours The gallant
sons of the Ninth must and will real
ize the critical state of affairs. The
eyes of the State are upon them, and
we feel assured that they will never
allow so foul a blot to appear upon
their fair escitcheon.
The Irishmen of our city intend
celebrating St.' Patrick’s day in grand
style, as has ever been their custom
lu the morning, the various civil and
military organizations will parade
one lor two from your own classie city.
■ he* business outlook for the
ng,' fa much more encouraging
than had been anticipated. A tone
of greater clieerfujaess seems to per-
all classes of onr citizens, who
scehi toliave derived much hope and
lentxraragement from the so-far liberal
IpoH^y of President Hayes. All seem
to reel $hat we are approaching a|
ier and more prosperous era, if
Hayies does but act in accordance!

—In a suit for $115,000 against the
city of New York, the plaintiff has
just obtained a verdict of six cents.*
The plaintiff was a wealthy lady, who
had spent $800,000 on lands and a
rural residence on the shores of Lake
Mahopac, which has been rendered
unhealthy by the city drawing off
the water for its supplies in a drouth.
Others had contemplated similar suits.
—It is estimated from an analysis
of the fractional currency redeemed
in silence since April last, that about
30 per cent, or $15,000,000 of that
currency has been lost, worn out, or
destroyed in some ether way, since it
was issued. The amount outstand
ing last April was about $50,000,000;
but if $15,000,000 has been destroyed,
the residue will be only $85,000,000
—and only this amount of silver will
be required to redeem it.

Magnificent Bridal Trousseau.
[“Jennie June’*” March Fashion Letter.]
One of the finest trousseaus ever
made for a bride was completed re
cently at a cost of nearly $5,000. It
consisted of underwear in linen and
cambric, all lace trimmed, and much
of it almost solid masses of real lace.
All the skirts were trained, and all
trimmed with torchon or Valenciennes
lace at least a quarter of a yard wide.
The cost of one of these skirts was
$750. The finest linen or cambric
was used in the composition of the
chemises and night dresses, and the
square, pompadour yokes of a num
ber of them were composed wholly
of lace, lined with pale pink or blue
silk, and ornamented with knots of
blue or pink ribbon. There
were sixteen dresses; two of the
paleBt blue cashmere for morning
wear, one embroidered in pale lemon,
the other in faint pink. An evening
dress was of cream-colored damassee,
combined with lemon-colored faille.
There were two summer dresses of
grenadine, one of white rnoslin over
pink batiste, one black faille and
brocade, trimmed with cardinal red,
.one pale blue silk trimmed with
white silk, tufted oriential gauze and
beautiful fringe, and a complete suit
of brown camel's hair and faille, with
capote to match.
Ten of the dresses had shoes of tho
same shade and material, and all of
them silk stockings by the half-dozen,
matching the shoes. All the hosiery
was silk.
