Hon. B. H. Hill
We publish below “The Address of
the County of Clarke, to her Sister
Counties of the 9th Congressional Dis
trict.” She unanimously offers the
name of the above mentioned distin
guished statesman as our Representa
tive in the 44tli Congress. •
The name of Mr. Hill has been
spoken of in such unmistakable terma by
the people—not alone of our own Dis
trict, hut of the entire Strte—that we
cordially endorse the above-mentioned
Aihlress, and earnestly request the
other counties of our District to join
“Old Clarke” in her preference as to
our Representative in Congress.
To-day, Mr. Hill is, bevond all
doubt, the greatest Orator in Georgia,
nnd as a parliamentarian and a debater,
lie lias no superior. 11 he had nothing
else tp recommend him to our |>eople
as thc successor of our deceased mem
ber, the Hon. Garnett McMillan, his
patriotic record in the Confederate
Congress, and his devotion to the
“Lost Cause”—even to the very latest
hour of the Confederacy—would alone
crown him with imperishable glory.
In his great speech in Atlanta, while
surrounded by the bayonets of the
tyrant Tope, lie exhibited a moral
courage and a devotion to the great
principles of civil liberty, rarely man
ifested by unr nwre, prudent, but sn-eall
cd leaden.
We do not propose to dictate as to
who -hall he our Representative, yet
we will say that the choice clearly be
longs tor the lower counties of this
District.
Meeting held in Athens, and nil paper
having a circulation in the District
were respectfully requested to copy.

C. G. Tai.madge, Secy.
HON. B.~H. HILL.
The Choice, Not Alone of Our
District, But of the
Entire State.
To illustrate the truth of the above,
we re-publisb thc following extract
from the letter of our Representative,
the Hou. H. II. Carlton, to this
paper:
There sceins to lie a growing
interest in Mr. Hill’s Congressional
pi»*]K“cts in the flth District, n‘>t only
in Georgia, but throughout the South.
The general impression seems to lie,
that the 9th District, though in doubt
as to Mr. Hill’s bona-fide citizenship
thereof, still, having it in their power
to send him as their representative to
Congress, has no right to rob the
whole Southern country of such talent
as a statesman, and ability as a Con
stitutional lawyer and debater—which
.all must ascribe to Mr. Hill—and that
ilie people of the 9th District should
waive all question on that point and
send him to Congress hv their unani
mous vote. We are clearly in favor of
a strict adherence to party organization
in our District, nnd -hall most cer
tainly support the nominee of the
party; but from our present stand
point, we are frank to say, that we
think the best interest of our District,
of the whole State of Georgia, and of
the whole South, could best be served
now, by sending Mr. Hill to Congress—
and we are equally positive in assert
ing that our views are by no means
based upon or formed by outside pres
sure ; but solely upon a clear convic
tion of what, in our humble judgment,
is best for our whole country.”
The County of Clarke, to Her
Sister Counties of the 9th
Congressional
District.
The death of the Hon. Garnett
MeMillnn, our Representative
elect to the 44th Congress, is sin
cerely mourned by us, in common
with our fellow citizens of thc 9th
Congressional District. "He
whose ways are past finding out,"
hath seen fit to remove him from
among us ; and this dispensation ]
of an inscrutable Providence, im
poses upon thc 9th District the
responsible duty of selecting a
successor.
With an earnest desire there
fore, that the proper man for that
purpose should he selected, we
are satisfied this District would
do honor to itself, and real ser
vice to the State and country, in
returning as our Representative
the 44th Congress, the Hon. Ben
jamin II. Hill, who has exhibited
a Statesmanship, and insight into
thc principles of government and
of Constitutional liberty, surpass
ed by no man living, in the vast
hounds of our extensive country.
Mr. Hill is well known in the
District—his ability and eminent
quilifications having been largely
canvassed previous to, and at the
Clenveland Convention last Au
gust ; when, after forty-six bal
lots, his name was withdrawn, and
the lamented McMillan unani
mously nominated. And after
the return of our delegation from
that Convention, Mr. Ilill express
ed himself as ready, if necessary,
to stump the District in favor of
Mr. McMillan's ejection.
On the question of eligibility,
there is no doubt—because Clarke
minty is still Mr. Hill’s home,
for here he pays his poll and pro
fessional tax, and even if it was
not, the qualification for members
of Congress is fixed by thc Con
stitution of the United States as
follows : ' No person shall be a
Representative who shall not have
attained to the age of twenty-five
years, and been seven years a citi
zen of the United States; nnd
who shall not when elected, he

which he shall be chosen. Art.

5, Art. 1, of the. Const, of the U.
S. provides, that ' Each House
shall he the judge of the elections,
returns, and qualifications of its
own members.”

THE TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVER
SITY OF GEORGI A.
AVe learn that Ex-Governor Cmas. J.
Jenkins, President ol thc above mention
ed Honorable body, lias ordered a meet
ing of the same to lie held in Atlanta, on
February 5tli. Tlii- netion, we presume,
is the result ol the following clause in
the Governor's Message, proposing a
“ thorough re organization of the Univer
sity" :
* * <: As at present constituted,
c^nsi-ts of thirty-five mem-
umber. as I am advised, than coin-
orraniz itioii in this or any other
body is t«»o large for efficiency ; be-
hers in** appointed for life, a:ul thus,
n\ are left without that sense m re-
hieh experience proves is ihm cssarv
to secure dilig**m-e and faithfulness in plaees of
tru't. In my judgement, the others of the present
Trustees should be vacated, and provision should
be made for the appointment of a new Hoard, to
consist of not more than nine member*. The ap
pointment should b • made in the manner which
would most certainly secure men of enlarged
views, and of general fitness for the position. The
f ill term o office should not be longer than six
years, and the first nine appointed, should be di
vided into three classes of three each, to be ap
pointed for two, four and six years. Thus, every
two Years, t lie re would be three vacancies in the
Hard. Thi> provision would prevent thc making
of sudden, radical changrs in the management of
the University, and. at the same time, would se
cure a sense of r spen«il>ility upon the part of the
Trustee*. Tlu* Hoard ought to be held directly re
sponsible to the General Assembly, nnd to that
end. they should be required to make out and
submit full annual report* of their proceedings
and of i he condition of the University.
The changes just suggested would, in my opin
ion, greatly advance the cause of University edu
cation in the State. The institution would draw
around it the*yinpathy and support of all the best
men in the w tate, and the representatives of th<»
|*eople would not hesitate to make all needful ap
propriation* fi-rits 'import and advancement.—
The people of the State desire to see their Univer
sity grow and expand, and they fully assent to
the truth of the maxim, that the greatness of a
.State depends upon, and is proportionate to, the
higher education of its people.
Sirn-e tbe promulgation of the above
to the people ol Georgia, we have listen
ed with interest to considerable discus
sion upon the same, and present the fol
lowing as a solution of the whole ques
tion :
Tlie Governor shall appoint, with the
advice and consent of thc Senate, forty-
four Trustees—one from each Senatotial
District, tsaid Trustee to be the nucha*
of education for his District.) Terms of
service, 4. 8 nnd 12 years. Thc Board of
Trustees shall annually appoint nnExe-
cutivo Committee—one from each Con
gressional District. This Executive Com-

management of our institutions of j

LETTER FROM THE IIOX. W. I*. PRICE.
We publish the following from the
]>en of the above-named gentleman, in
regard to the Schools of Agriculture
at Athens and Dahlonega.
Col. Price is an acknowledged leader
in the cause of popular education in
this section of our State, and his ap
peal for aid in the advancement of our
Agricultural Schools,‘should command
the serious attention of our Legisla
ture.
It is said by the so-called economist,
that “ times are hard and money
scarce, and that we can not afford to
give a wav any money from our State
Treasury.”
This “appropriation” is not given
away—it is an investment oil the part
of the State, and one which will return
(lie very largest dividends to our peo
ple. The appeal of Colonel Price is
able and well-timed, and in return for
the great zeal which he has manifesto:]
in the cause of Education, in the
name of the people of our section, we
nominate him as a candidate for one
of the vacancies in tiie Board of Trus
tees of the University of Georgia.
pic of Georgia, and as such, to be an
insurmountable harrier to the further
endowment of the University by the
Legislature.
The earnest zeal nnd unflagging de
votion of many of our Trustees to the
University and the cause of popular
education, is well known to the citizens
of Georgia, and they deserve the gra
titude of our whole people. Let then,
all personal and sectarian feeling he set
aside for once in the history of our
State, and let ns all, as patriots, labor
for the educational progress and mate
rial welfare of our grand old Common
wealth.
mittce (of nine) shall
Julies now incumbent upon
of Visitors," and shall receive the pay
and mileage now allowed said Board of
Visitors.
The Faculty shall have power to nom
inate its Associate Professors, subject to
ratification by the Board ol Trustees;
and it shall be the duty of the Faculty
to make known every irant of thc
University to the Executive Committee
in order that the Legislature may
j provide, at the earliest moment, the
arrnoPRt atioxs by the legisatuke.
A bill is now pending before the
General Assembly to appropriate mo
ney to the State College of Agricul
ture at Athens to purchase suitable ap
paratus for the same; and also, to ap
propriate five thousand dollars to the
Agricultural College at Dahlonega, to
Ire used in repairs, and the purchase of
suitable apparatus for thc same.
In the opinion of some of thc mem
bers, this would he a donation or gra
tuity. This is a grave error into which
these gentlemen have fallen, as a re
currence to past legislation, and facts
will correct at once. It will he re
membered that the State of Georgia,
by legislative enactment, accepted the
grant of land scrip from thc general
government, (from which the sum of
$243,000 lias be?n realized), and in
accepting said grant, the legislature
also hound the State to comply with
the conditions imposed hv Congress.—
What were those conditions ?
1 That no part of the money arising
from the sale of the scrip should he
used for any purpose, except for the
endorsement, support and maintenance
of one or more colleges where the
leading object shall lie, without ex
cluding other scientific ami classical
studies, and including military tactics,
to reach such branches of learning ns
relates to agriculture and the mechanic
arts. 2nd. That a sum not exceeding
ten per cent, of the capital sum, may
he used in the purchase of lands for
experimental farms. 3rd. No portion
of said fund or interest shall be used,
under any pretense whatever, to the
purchase, erection, preservation, or re
pair of any building or buildings.—
4th. That the State shrill provide the
college or colleges established under
this act.
Up to this time, thc State of Geor
gia has never provided any college
building under the requirements of the
act of Congress. The citizens of
Athens have generously and patriotic
ally stepped forward and erected a
beautiful building at an expense of
twenty-five thousand dollars. Suhse-
sequent to the occupation by the State
of thc scrip. Congress supplemented
thc amoi nt given to Georgia, by do
nating that splendid edifice known as
the Mint property, at Dahlonega,
which cost the government upwards
of seventy thousand dollars. By these
means, the State has not been, thus
far, called upon to provide the build
ings, ns the act of Congress contem
plated she should. The building at
Dahlonega, which has Itecn well-pre-
j served, now sadly needs a new roof,

COUBT HOUSE.
From some cause or other the works on the Court
House has ceased. We ptesume the iudemency
of the weather ibr the last month has been the
cause. The workmen have had but fear days since
Christmas that would permit them to l»e at work
out of doors. If the commissioners intend to com
plete the work, it should be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible, if not, they should abandon it.
Let the contemplated work be done at once, or let
it stop and thus end the unprofitable and bitter
controversy now going on in the county about it.
COUNTY our OF DEBT.
We were much pleased to learn from Hon. G. F.
Platt, one of the County Commissioners, and one
of Oglethorpe's most prominent and puhiicspirited
citizen*. that the county is entirely out of debt.
This is indeed a source of true rejoicing on the part
of our citizens.
AN UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.
On last Saturday, at Mr. Eberhart’s store, in the
lower portion of the county, known as the Goose-
Fond District, occurred a homicide and stabbing,
much to be regretted, and which has cast a gloom
over the whole county. Many rumors are afloat,
th regard to it and we hear conflicting accounts
it. It is usually the case that every body, upon
bearing of a homicide, conclude, in their own
minds, that the offence is murder, and this case is
not free from this feature. Public opinion should
not be so hastily formed, but should be withheld
until all the facts of the case are fully known, and

“The Patapsco” Question.
We publish below an extract from
the Chronicle and Sentinel, in regard to
thc abova mentioned quastion.
President Wm. LeRov Broun and
Professor White, of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, in this matter, have commanded
the admiration of our entire people by
their dignified hearing, and unanswer
able vindication of their official action.
As for the discourteous deportment of
“the representative” of the Patnpsco
Company, we have nothing to say, as
the Knglisli language is inadequate to
the task. We will publish the entire
report in our next issue.
The Patapsco Guano and
Prof. White.
On Monday there assembled in At
lanta seven members of the Executive
Committee of the State Agricultural
Society, Gen. A. H. Colquitt, Chair
man, to hear testimony in a case which
is a little peculiar in many of its feat
ures. It will be remembered that a
vear or so ago, upon an offer of Prof.
W. LeRov Broun, of the State Unni
versitv and President of the “College
of Agriculture of Mechanic Art-,” to
analyze the different fertilizers placed
on sale in this State, the Society ac
ccpted his generous proposition and
accordingly forwarded to him for anal
ysis samples of all standard fertiliz.ers,
the same being designated not by name,
hut by number, in order that the anal
vsis might he made with perfect ini
partiality and to the satisfaction of all.
Among the samples forwarded by the
Agricultural Society was one marked
“No. 9,” which subsequently proved
to he a sample of Patapsco guano.
Prof. White, chemist at tho University,
a man of marked ability and undi<
pitted qualifications, in his analysis of
this sample, rated its commercial viluc
far below that advertised hv the Patap
sco Company, and this company, claim
ing that, their business had thereby
been greatly injured, appealed to a
committee of the State Agricultural
Society for redress. Pursuant to ap
pointment, Dr. Leibig, President, and
Chemist. Mr. Gibbons, their agent,
accompanied by the Treasurer, also
Professor W. LeRoy Broun and Pro
fessor White, of the State University,
met here prepared to undergo an ex
amination by the committee. The
committee consumed two days in the
investigation, allowing all thc while
great latitude in the introduction of
testimony. Professors Broun and
White met the charges made by the Pa
tapsco Company in a manner to utter
ly and overwhelmingly refute their ac
cusations, meeting every question with
a readiness, and ease and explaining
every difficulty with an address and
candor that elicited the outspoken ad
miration of members of the committee.
The committee to-day delivered their
verdict, in which they expressed their
conviction that the analysis of Pro
fessor White was jterfeetly correct,
that it had not been adulterated hy
any one since it loft the storehouse of
the agent of the company, but their
belief was that the sample hy some ac
cident not designed hy the company
was not a fair sample of their man
ufacture. The committee dosed their
opinion by expressing confidence in
the good character of I)r. Leibig and
other members of the company.
isJom places him. lunocent until he is proved
guilty. \Ve never know all the facts-that must
enter inio the verdict of the jury trying the ease,
until they are brought out on final trial; there
fore, we withhold auy opinion of the merits of this
sad occurrence until we know all thefactsand con
tent ourselves with giving the facta as we have
heard them and without vouching for their entire
truth.
It appears that on the day mentioned, a justice
court was being held at Mr. Eborheart’s store, with
Mr. It. J. Smith as presidium justice, and that .a
considerable crowd from thf surrounding part of
the country had assembled to wituess the proceed
ings.
Sometime during the day a controversy arose
between Dr. C. C. Stribbling and Mr. John Eber-
heart, Sr., a resident of Athens, but at the time on
a business visit to his store in this county, .about a
cotton transaction they had had, Dr. Strihbllng
claiming that tie had delivered to JSberhcait A
Son’s several bales of cotton, for which they had
not given him credit. Eberheart claiming that he
had given the proper credit. Thus arose a dispute
between them, wiiich resulted in very harsh lan
guage on thc part of each. Thoutrh the parties
were finally quieted and the difficulty seemed at
an end.
Dr. Stribbl ng then walked out of the store into
the Elberton road, which runs just by the door
and began walking, back and forth, the whole
length of the store, each time passing by the door,
where Eherhea-t could see him. After walking
for a considerable time, he left and went behind
the store, when Mr. John Eberheart, Sr., stepped
out of the door an l beg in walking, tack and forth
front of his store as I)r. Stribbliug had done.
When Eberheart had b« cn walking for some time.
Dr. Strihbling came back aud again began to walk
back and forth at Elx-rhearUs side, arid continued
the walk for some time, when he finally stepped
on EberhearUs foot. Then l»egan the fight, Eber
heart, Sr., then struck Strihbling with a stick and
knocked hint down. At this po ! nt the two sons
of John Eberheart Sr.; J. W. Eberheart and John
Eberheart, Jr., together with the crowd rushed out
of the hou*e. ami to where thc two men were
fighting, and the row became general, and here
there is much conflict in rumor as to what really
did happen, and how it was done. John Eberheart
Sr , and hi* son Jacob W. Elierheart wore badly
beaten over the head with sticks, but don’t know
who done it. It Is however agreed that John
Eberhart. Jr., did the cutting. Two men, Mr.
Richard Ward, and Dr. U. C. Strihbling were each
found to be severely cut. Ward was wounded in
the left shoulder arid back, the knife entering at
th® top of the shoulderand ranged down the back
just under the skiu. The wouud said to l»e about
eight or ten inches long. At last accounts lie was
doing well and the wound regarded as not at all
scrio i a id hopes of his early recovery expressed.
In addition t»*the cut. Ward reeeived’two severe
blows a .Toys ihu head with a stick.
Stribllng wa> out in thr*»e places -in the hack,
in the hip and in the abdomen, i ;*«• two farmer
could not have proved fatal, but the latter was
pronounced by him at the time of iu- infliction, as
fatal—he immediately exclaiming, “I am killed
bv a man whom I never injured in my
life.” As soon as he was approached by his
friends, he tobl them he knew the wound was
mortal, and that he could not live longer than
three days at fi»rthe*t. He also said, he felt the
knife strike the vertebral column. This was true,
and he being a Doctor, knew the effects of the
wound. lie died ou last Tuesday morning just
before day, and all the community f®rd that a
brave. noMc-hcarted, but impulsive man, is dead.
lie was a man of decided and positive character.
He loved his friends devotedly, and hated bis
enemies heartily. It also appears that he antici
pated a difficulty that dav, and wanted to go to
thc store armed—hut yielded to the gentle persua
sions of a loving wife, and left his pistol nt home.
He told her when she first met him alter the fight,
ihnt it was a mistsk** in leaving hi* pistol at home:
that if he lnd had it, lie could have killed his ad
versary in i saved lrs own life.
It i* al*o r -inured that thc difficulty about the
• ’i: u l tlv apparent < ause of the altercation, is
n-*t the t* ae origin of th<* affair, hut that it really
began about a month before, and about an entirely
different matter; and that the cotton affair was
onlv a pretext to rent an older feud.
We give the above facts as they came to us, and.
as before said, without vouching for their entire
truth. We have not heard the sworn testimony
in the case, and shall withhold an opinion until
we know all the facts. We shall, as we think all
should do. stand impartial or really give the bene
fit • f the doubt to the accused.

small pox.
We learn that there are now thirty-eight cases of
small-pox In this county and thc lower edge of
Clarke. Dr. B. V. Willingham, wc learn, pro
nounces It Small-pox In its most malignant form.
It is a source of great terror to our people, ami al
most every one have hastened to their physican
and been vacillated. There is great danger of its
spreading all over the county, through negroes.—
They go and assemble in crowds from all parts of
the county, for the ostensible purpose or divine
worship, when they are even sick with the lost lie-
some disease.
We heard last week, of a farmer in the county
who had hired a negro to work with him this
rear. The negro was to come to his house in a
day or two, hut did not come in about two weeks.
At last, one day the farmer met the negTo in the
road, ami asked him when he was coming. The
negro said he would come the next day, and would
have come sooner, but his mother had the Small
pox and he had staid and waited on her, and this
negro had never had the disease. Our farmer in
formed him that if he came to his house, he might
look for consequences he little expected. This is
mly oue instance in a thousand, of their thought-
essness or carelessness.
