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.

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 an inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen. Art. 1, Sec. 2, Const. U. S. And Sec. 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.” It is clear therefore, that no the IIrarH of TnMc L is—;i Lirp*r mini I ikjvos :» similar org iilrs. iti men m incas ihility v 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- liseiinrgc ail the the Board management of our institutions of j learning, the cause of Agricultural Science and our material progress, is seriously retarded by the want of the necessary apparatus to teach ami in vestigate all the great facts which bear upon ottr Agriculture and the Me chanic Arts. Let our Legislature not overlook these pressing reants of both our schools of Agriculture. State t ollege of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. 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, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS -~g\V*-have now one of the LARGEST AND BEST SELECTED of ( 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 prisoner should .uud *h«ro the t«» in iu ^hich we offer very low for Cash Only 1 to the Trade and Families BALTIMORE FEMALE COLLEOH Ti*- * i * hin Hlus^USly^S i.. that commands a .lew of the countrV 7?

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. Mr. .T<.hn Eberheart, Jr., vra* on last Sunday arrested on a warrant charging “assault with in tent to murder but upon the dealh of Stribling, another warrant, charging “ murder,” was *worn out. and this i* being tri-d. this we-k. before <\.urt of Inquiry, composed of K.

S.—Sine* writing thc above account of the Eberhart Stribling difficulty, I have heard that the Court have bound over the three Eberhart* to appear at the April term of the Superior Court to answer the offense of muTder. 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.
