Dr. Mell, after spending most of a
day in the House of Representatives
l c “ W hat’s the matter with you.” % during the recent session thereof,
Clarke DcU-gutlon.
. A correspondent in the last issue
of the Gainesville Eagle, signing him
self “ Banks,” takes Capt. Carlton,
and what he pleases to term the
“ Carlton delegation from Clarke,” to
task for denounc'ng the Gainesville
Convention and its nominee. Per
haps, if “ Banks” will only examine
the matter a little more thoroughly,
he will find that the denunciations
were not against the Convention and
its nominee, but just denunciations
of the personal features of the Con
vention-certain delegates admitted
to that Convention—and unjustly so,
too—having injected themselves into
that body to fight Capt. Carlton upon
personal issues.
At any rate, if “ Banks” had put
his shoulder to the wheel and dis
played, unfalteringly, the same zeal
to elect the Hon. IL P. Bell to the
forty-fifth Congress as did Capt.
Carlton, he would have the sat
isfaction of knowing that he had ren
dered the nominee and the Demo
cratic party of the_ Ninth District
sonic useful service. If “ Banks” can
show as good a record as a thorough
party man, as Capt. Carlton can, and
it he will only do half as much to
secure the election of the Gainesville
nominee as Capt. Carlton and the
“ Carlton delegation from Clarke”
are doing, then the friends of Capt.
Carlton, and the friends of the
“ Carlton delegation from Clarke,” as
well as the Democratic party, can
forgive the attack of “ Banks.’’ The
editor of this paper generally speaks
for himself, but being absent from
the city and doing yeoman service in
the interest of the nominee, I write
this to vindicate his course in the
campaign. Moreover, his position
was not defined until his sentiments
were published in his own journal, the
Athens Georgian.
Let “Banks’’ lead the last issue of
our paper, and the several extras
which have gone out from this office
to the remotest corners of the whole
Ninth District, and at the expense
alone of C.v-t Carlton, since he re
turned from the Convention, and an
swer himself, whether the charge is
just. Horace Cranford,

France and Europe.
As may be seen by advertisement
Prof. Tripp, the well known lecture
on Europe may he expected to deliv
er soon, a course of his series descrip
tive of the great historical epochs
and the prominent actions in France
and Europe since 1848, the informal
tion largely from personal kdowledgc
and original sources.
The lectures have attained a wide
celebrity and have attracted much
attention. They are most warmly
commended t-y the leading press ami
the most distinguished and cultured
minds in various sections of the coun
try, including sucIT names as Presi
dent Porter of Yale College, lleverdy
Johnson of Baltimore, and Prof. Phil
lips of Chapfei Ilill. We notice among
Prof. Tripp's patrons, Hon. Alexander
Stephens of this State. The course
was repeated five times in Charleston
this winter, and attended largely by
the most cultured people of the city.
Among Prof. Tripp’s patrons in Au
gusta were J udge King and family,
Gen. Raines, Rev. Dr. Irvine, Dr.
De Sausure Ford, who speaks in high
praise of the lectures. Rev. Dr. Ir-
ine writes: “I cannot speak too
highly of the literary and other ex
cellences of your lectures, your
composition is finished, your style
perfect and your treatment of each
topic exhaustive without being tedi
ous or prosy.”
As Prof Tripp visits Athens at the
special request of gentleman gradu
ates of the University, it is to be
hoped arrangements will be made at
once, to secure the lecturer and to
afford all our citizens opportunity to
hear the lectures.
When the Athens youth dons his
colored cheviot shirt, gets his hair

entertainment of the citizens and
which they pay to witness.

as low as they could be laid down

past four weeks, parties from a dis
tance have sent to us for quotations
and at the same time, (as we after
wards learned) got quotations from
Atlanta and Augusta. Our figures
were not only ns low but actually les
and we got the orders. We publish
these facts because we know it has
been customary heretofore for parties
wishing to bay in quantities to send
off for their supplies. This need be
done no longer. If you don’t believe

Hayes and Hangman’s Day:
One more Friday must he added
to the long and really remarkable
list of the days of fate which, for Re
turning Board Hayes, have fallen on
that ominous “•hangman’s day.” We
find upon consulting the'Republican
“campaign biography” of Ilis Fraakl-
uleney (the Oyclpeedia overlooks him
entirely), that R. B. H. was “ bom”
on the 4th of October, 1822, and the
4th of October, 1822, was a Fridhy.
These ominous co-incidents are
really curious^ Of course, no sensi
ble person believes in signs and
omens; but It is the obstinate feeling
of all Christendom—call it supersti
tious or Hot—-that Friday is a day ©f
ill-omen. It is a sinister day itn the
calendar. It hears the reproach of
having been; the day of the most aw
ful event in Christian annals. R has
always been selected for the-hang
man's works It is a sailor’s supersti
tion that a ship launched, or a voyage
begun, on Friday, is sure to. involve
disaster—atuch after the example
of Milton's “perfidious bask? that
wrecked awl drowned “LycMhs*—
“Built in tfee eclipse, and rigg’Jjwiihcurses
