Wc clip the following notice from the Columbus Enquker of a re ctal date: "Among the many who are seek ing this position in the Georgia House, vve know of none more com petent or deserving the support of the members than Judge W B Butt, o. Marion conn y.IIe has been a mem ber of the bofly for two or more ses sions and served ou the most impor tant committees, was active and vig ilant in his duties, ami hence is thoroughly conversant with a! 1 the routine of the business and affairs pertaining to tiio office and parliam entary usages. lie has been judge ol the county Court of Mat on and is ac quainted with the law ?of the State, which is as necessary to the chief clerk as any member of the Legisla ture.He was a gallant soldier of Georgia during the late revolution. Another consideration which com mends liim*is that lie is the only gen tleman aspir big to the position from this section, and our own Represen tatives shouhl feel a pride in using their utmost endeavors to advance his interest. Western Geoigia has never had the post filled by one from her division,and this influence should luxe weight in determining the votes leman ot superior intelligence,who wi'l honor tho placj." (Communicated.) KSI’I-AS ATIOJi FROM SEIEX Mr. Editor: My piece in favo" of the old county officers has been misunderstood by some as casting slurs on those opposed to them. 1 want to say through your columns that such was not my purpose. I wanted to warn the people, first, against certain blinding prejudices about lining in town and countrv, church membership, &c, and second ly against men who would try to in fluence us through these prejudices. 1 do not see how any cand'date could object to that.except, such as expect ed to make use of those prejudices. I did not intend to insinuate that any of them would do such a thing, but f know that such things have been done and might be again. Some say that in my conclusion, I reflect by deduction, severely on the new candidates. 1 never meant to do so. I only tried to lay down general principles, for our government in choosing officers, —not to make spe- cific or general charges against indi viduals who I could rot support. I only intended this much and no more: The old officers having held their places for years, are necessarily more competent, less ignorant and less in experienced in the discharge of the offices than those who never filled them, how intelligent, educated, ex perienced and competent they might be, speaking in a general sense. I took this plain common sense look at the situation and no other. I sub- l muted my piece to a friend for revi- j siou and correction, and neither he nor I; aw this big mare's nest chat has been hatched out of it since it was printed. I have got the greatest re spect and coniidence for a good many ol the candidates that ruth and I do A I not in end 'o lie misunderstood l am sorry to have caused off-nsc, and am anxious that this piece will smooilio down tho rough places m their discontent, and tlnP, hereafter, peace will reign iu Mari n as well as in Warsaw. My gray hairs Imve witnessed ma ny of my mis ukes, but writing polit ical letters tor tho benefit of my coun ty, is one I will not: commit ngdn soon—in two years anyhow, 1 laid no iika that a plain spoken, well meant old man could be so misunder stood ns i have been. I hope you will publish this and make a 1 ! corrections, for my defense. I ranain, as ever, your friend. SEN EX. —The Spring Sens 1 on of the Boons Vista high School will begin on Mon day next. Messrs. Dunham k Ken nerly ought to have a hundred and fifty regular studen.s, mid wo sin cerely hope that our peonle will out ron : ze the seminary over which they preside, wii.li that liber.dity which it. deserves. They at*t gentlemen every way pre-eminently qualified to dis charge the duties of their positions, and children, young nun and young ladies could not be placed in bettor hands than theirs. The health of Buena Vista is unsurpassed, society of the best and board in first-class lam i i'iies cheaper than anywhere elso in j the State. Parents who have to send ; their children from home to school, would do well to send t hem here. A CAR!>. Ox the part of the colored Itepub- I licans of Marion county, I dtsirc to say that the statement made in a letter !o the 1 Atlanta Republican, re specting the last election in this conntj,were made without the sanc tion or knowledge of the Republican party of Marion. The staiemeuts were all false, no fairer election ever ! having been held in this courtly, I j have made dilligent inquiry of tin | colored pensmen in the county,and 1 have oeen unable to find the author of the libellous letter referred to above. We were entirely satislled' with the fairness oe l'* e election, and acquiesced cheerfully in the result. ■Jo?. Howard. Chairma i Republican Executive* committee. CUT THIS OUT.
