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, Local Editor. j. e. nitch, Our genial agent, will visit the courts in the Northern and Western circuits in the interest of our paper, and will call on the friends of the Georgian in the different counties. We hope to receive quite an addition to our subscription list, accompanied with the “ one tiling needful,” and we promise to continue to publish the largest and best weekly paper in Northeast Georgia.

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 parted in the middle, and secures front chair at Deupree Hall, he is of the opinion that his wit and repartee are decidedly more attractive than the exhibitibns that are given for the entertainment of the citizens and which they pay to witness. Denpree ball was well filled Fri day night, and everybody was well pleased with the entertainment. The versatile acting of Mr. John Henshaw was well received, while the singing of Miss Ten Broeck and Miss Daven port were loudly enchored. Every body left tlje hall pleased.

Poor Weak Woman.—Miss Susan Nipper, who lived in a small tenement, a lone woman, was quite fluttered the other morning by an early call from a bachelor neighbor. “ What do you come here after ?” said Miss Nipper. “ I came to borrow matches,** he meekly replied. “Matches! That’s a likely story Why don’t you make a match ? know what you came for,” said the exasperated old virgin, as she backed the bachelor into a corner. “ You came here to bug and kiss me nearly to death!

Some time ago we announced through the columns of the Athens Georgian, that we would sell goods as low as they could be laid down Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta or Charleston.^ Several times within the 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.

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.
