Governor:—I am in receipt of the letter of Hon. H. H. Carlton to you, and herewith return it with my opinion upon the question asked by him. Oconee County lias just been made, by the General Assembly, wholly out of the territory of Clarke County.— The third section of the Act creating this new County, requires that an elec tion be held in April next “ for all County officers necessary for the 01- ganizntion of said new Couuty. Its fourth section declares that “ all officers now in commission within the limits of said new County, shall hold their commissions and discharge the duties devolved upon them, until the date when their terms of office expire by law." The Clerk of the Superior Court, the Ordinary and Tax Receiver live in Clarke County as now existing, the other County officers of old Clarke are within the limits of Oconee County, The question put by the letter is, “ What officers in each County will have to be elected in April next?” By the Constitution of 1838, Art. IX Code, SS 1319, 1320, each County in the State has its full quota of County officers, commissioned, as of the County in and for which they were elected. Clarke now has such quota for two years, from January, 1875, and by said 4th Section, (and inery on theConesaugo, de for the per diem pay of ’iun county. the County court of Han- a court of record, and to a clerk for the same.

The variation of a grain of powder in the charger, or of a grain or two of weight in the bullet, or the rapidity or slowness of the combustion of the powder, all affect the velocity of the hall and the line of its trajectory, or tho curve described by it in its pass age from the gun to the target.

During the festivities the old gentleman very gal lantly proposed to kiss his wife for the Ji:>t time in his life. The old lady said as they had lieen married for fifty years, and lie had never before thought of making such a proposition, she should decline, which she did. Where is there another couple of which the same can he said ?
