The following bills were ordered
The proposition to appropriate the
bonds of the city to the amount of
$25,000 to the University meets, we
understand, with some objection. This
of course was to be expected. You
can always find objection to every
proposition. In former days men
were found who apposed railroads and
telegraphs, and even now you can find
men who oppose education, and who
are always violently opposed to any
scheme which looks to the imposition
of a small tax for the general good.
But let us look at the merits of this
proposition. If the plan proposed
tends to benefit the city of Athens, it
becomes onr duty as citizens to aid it
with all our energy, and urge, every
one to its support. The scheme pro
posed, is we understand, to be as follows.:
1. That the city shall appropriate
$25,000 in 8 per cent bonds to the
University.
2. That the entire proceeds from
these bonds shall be used in coustruct-
ing a building now needed by the Col
lege.
3. That in return for this donation
there shall be delivered annually a
quorum of lectures on sumtific subject!
ti the mechanics of our city.
4. That all the income desirable
from this additional tax on the colored
citizens shall be paid over to Knox In
stitute, exclusively for the education of
the colored population.
Here we find a plan proposed by
which the largest benefit can be con
ferred on our city, and a special one of
an educational character, on the me
chanics at a very trifling cost. The
building would in fact constitute a
Mechanics Institute, where the lectures
would be provided for without addi
tional cash.
We would urge our citizens to sup
port this measure, because it did tend
directly to increase the prosperity of
our city, by promoting the efficiency
of the College, .because every dollar
will be expended among our own me
chanics in constructing the building
which should be an ornament to the
city, because it- will tend by the lec
tures directly to the scientific educa
tion and social: development of the
jnechaiiics, and also because it proposes
to Ihe 1 'full justice to the colored popu
lation by appropriating their taxes to
the education of their own people;
The measure commends itself to
every citizen who desires the increased
prosperity of tbo city, and who favors
the industrial education of the me
chanics. 1 - * •

“REVIEW OF THE PAST.
Dear Georgian.—In a late issue
of yonr truly invaluable paper/appear
ed “ Adyibe for the Judges.” The ar
ticle has done great good. The Wes
tern Circuit has suffered for the past
four years under the inefficient Marler,
(Bullock’s crowned officer), and it is
therefore with no ordinary pride that
we of Athens and the Circuit) antici
pate an appointment of men such os
Mitchell, the soldier boy, or Speer, or
Netherland. The contest it seems has
narrowed down to these three, so you
will see, Mr. Editor, that we have noth
ing to fear. Each of these gentlemen
is without fear aud above reproach—
far above it, in fact, which ever one is
selected, you may be sure the crimi
nals will qua! .
These are ‘ stiff and starchy” names
aud carry terror to the hearts of evil
doers. It has been argued that Gov
ernor Smith would appoint Nether-
land, because this gentleman displayed
rare talent in the debate upon the lease
of the Western & Atlantic Rail Road,
and inasmuch as the Governor told
his friends that he (Mr. N.) would
soon operate in a larger sphere thau
Rabun County. Others think that
Governor Smith will seek the Senator-
ship in 1876, and that his idea in his
appointments now, will be to make
capital on that good time a-coming,
and that, therefore, Mitchell is the
coming man. There is point in this
argument. But, if rare abilities,
coupled with untiring energy and elo
quence, such as Lumpkins can suc
ceed, then let us bet our bottom dollar
on Speer! He’s the bob-tailed horse
and Mitchell the grey—so bet according
ly. Nothing disrespectful is intended
by this. It ought to be remembered
that Mr. Speer has been only three
yean at the bar. Mr. Mitchell has
practiced six years or seven. Mr.
Speer has a family to support and Mr.
Mitchell still roams the wilds in “ maid
en meditation fancy free." Our Chief
Executive has had the pleasure
meeting both of our young townsmen,
and he is in the quandary of the Jack
Ass between two bundles of hay.
