Having sold out the Banner to Mr. Inghram and learning that he has sold out to Mr. Waterman, of La Grange, I take this method of inlormi ing tho former patrons of the paper as to the nature and condition of the li< bilaities and debts of the office. All Bnbscriptious]due on the Weekly,np to January 1st, 1880, are mine. From that date forward the dues arc to go to Mr. Inghram. All dues on the Daily up to August 1st, 1880, are mine, after that date they go to Mr. Inghram. All dues for advertising in the Weekly and Daily are mine up to August 1st, 1880. All contracts for subscription and advertising which have been prepaid are to be carried out by Mr. Inghram. My office is now with Capt. Pope Barrow, over Drag Store of Mr. Joe Jacobs, corner of - College Avenue and Clayton street, and as I am desirous of closing np tbe old business os rapidly as possible all persons in arrears for subscriptions and advertisements are requested to call and settle at once as I am deter' mined to close np my books at the earliest possible date. Respectfully, H.H. Carlton. TO OTHER MELDS. Our management of the Daily Ban ner has been biief bnt gratifying,and we hope satisfactory to oar' patrons. For the support we hate received we tender our grateful acknowledge* meats. . The appreciation our readers have manifested has been the boon we most have craved, and thus rewarded wc lea'te the Banner with regrets.

Yqp say lj$ stided [uitt took aVfjfty-'tbouand dollar boud with me as surety from the Citizens’ bank on account of the State deposits which he placed there without interest,-in preference to a two hundred and fifty thousand do! lar bond and three per cent interest from the Bank of the State of Geor gia; Yon surely must be'mistaken in-tbe statement made by Governor 3my.h^ as this statement is untrue, am not security ' for. tbe Citizens’ bank as state depositor nor in any In fulfillment of a desire of loflg i ending, I have come to Athens. \illicit,is true that pecuniary matters ha duo weight with me, i£ is also ti ue that the educational and I social advantages of Athens were among the main reasons that moved me to make my residence here. Tins being the case, it, will be readily inferred that while my best efforts will be exerted to make tbe Banner a successful busi ness . enterprise, I shall labor with equal zeal to maintain and to increase those influences and characteristics which have made the city attractive. In other, words, my aim is not only to make money out of the Banner, but also to do all tbe good that lies within my power as a journalist. To accomplish this, the tone of the Banner will be high—above sourrill ty, above abuse, above violent parti sanship, above licentiousness, above equivocation in matters of opinion or of fact. The character of a newspa per should as certainly bo honest, true and above reproach, as that of a man ; and my aim shall be to give to the Banner that reliability in its utter ances, which I hope would attach to my own character as a man. I ask the cordial support of the people—of the people of Athens espe cially, on the Daily Banner. Athena needs a daily, and if the people will stand up to me, she shall have one of which her best citizens shall not be ashamed. Give me a hearty support, and you shall be fully repaid; not solely in the equivalent which the pa< per will furnish, bnt in the enhance* ment of all those interests of Athens and Northeast Georgia which cannot be subserved without a liberally sup ported press. It is proper to say that to-day’s paper is not a fair specimen of what the Banner will be, when, free lrom the embarrassments that surround stranger in the community. I shall be able to work with facility. Bear with me a few days until I can get things straightened. It is also proper to say that the .editorial control of the Banner has not been in my hands until to day. J. T.

To this are to be added about 800,000 voters who have secured naturaliza tion in the same interval of time. It is to this great body of fresh voters that the canvass which both parties are now making will be largely if not chiefly addressed. This phalanx of yonth much more than holds the bal ance of power in our, elections; its members have the ardor, the energy, the impressibility and susceptibleness ot their ycara, and are much more open to persuasion and conviqtion than the veterans of party.

His face had a look of seriousness upon it, be tokening that it was something of im portance which he had to commnnis cate. ‘Mr. President,’said he; ‘Hon. A. H. Chx atks the privilege'of com ing before this convention.’ Then there was a pause, and men turned around to cast upon each* other looks that had in them mingled surprise and 'dread. The speaker contfnfled : may say that he wishes to come here for the purpose of withdrawing from the contest.” Here was another pause, and many friends of the gallant young statesman, who crowded the hall, again looked around at each other with blanched faces, as if they had sudden ly stumbled upon the worst realization of half-formed fears, and had been brought up standing by the shock. There were men—and numbers of them - who felt just as they would if a darling ambition of their own had suddenly bqen quenched. Tlie requested leave was 1 ’granted. A committee wap appointed to. wail upon Sir. Cox,and uivi^e biq^J>efore the convention. In a few minutes he entered, and cheer alter cheer rent the air, as Troup’s favorite son made his way through the denjp crowd to the judge’s stand. ‘Gentlemen of t\»e convention,’ said Col. Harris, ‘I have the pleasure of presenting to you the Hoii. Albert H. Cox, of Troup, the pride of his friends arid the admiration of the State.’ More solid shouts greeted this well deserved compliment, and they continued as Mr. CoX turned bis bright handsoine face to the crowd, What he said we cannot repeat'here. The company was so carried aWriy by conflicting emotions—admiration and regret—that reporting was impossi ble. We asked Mr. Cox; afterwards if he could reproduce the speech, so that it might be published. Tlmt, he said, womd be impossible, as it was entirely impromptu. A report of it got into the Consti tution, arid was improperly spoken of as the address itself; whereas it was ( only a synopsis, and a short one at that. The speech was riot long, but it was eloquent to the last degree. The speaker declared—in general terms—that no man s ambition ought to stand in the way of harmony in a party; that sometimes there arises a contingency, in all parties, when pa triotism demands the self-sacrifice of public men; he was there to make a sacrifice of his own aspirations; he would not be “a wedge betwe*?n the brethern,” and so with repeated and cordial thanks, he released them from all obligations that they might feel themselves under to him. The effect was electric. So car ried away was the audience that the very walls seemed to vibrate under the shouting. But that was not all. So pathetic was the occasion; so melting were his words—albeit there was in them no claim for sympathy even implied—that not a few listen ers felt a choking in the throat, and tears came to the eyes. Indeed there were some who positively wept. There was much in the scene that was sublime, and the better feelings of men were deeply stirred at the un selfish surrender of a 'audable ambi tion which bad probably been cher» ished from early boyhood. The sac rifice was great, and men mourned while they applauded. As much as they loved him before, Albert Cox raised himself inestimably in ' the hearts of the people of Troup.’’ SEPTEMBER ENS.

A POLITICIAN'S CAREER. New-York Graphic. CIIAFTER I. I was not brought up to any trade or profession. At eighteen I voted for the first time. It was then I chose m. I.entered politics e, stout and TWO SAB WASHINGTON XMl WRECKS* opposition or nearest point to the earth. But while the earth at pel is helion is only 3,0(10,000 miles nearer the sun than at aphelion, Jupiter conies at that epoch'46,000,006 miles nearer the great' central orb. He is then, however, more than 450,000,000 miles from the sun—fortunately tar enough awqyrto counteract and mollify the increased force of attraction, between two'such mighty masses. Observers have not tailed to note during the last rrionth renewed proofs ot elementary disturbance, though there has been little increase in the. severity or con tinuance ot atmospherical phenomena. Earthquake*, waterspouts, tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones, falling .meteors of unusual size, waves of heat exhaust-, ing to human endurance, waves of cold close in thd'wake of the beat\ frost and ice iw—the lowlands, and snow storms and winter winds ia ele vated localities, have all been recorded on the weather reports, and may as well be ascribed - to'tbe bariefnl influ ence of Jupiter, as accounted 'for on any other yet unproved theory. Na- ture.hns,. however, beautifully alters uated her sunshine and storm, giving a preponderance to the days when peaceful irifitierices "reigned, and the perfection of summer- weather ofown- ed the sea-on with its choicest gifts. It is safe, then, to feel that the Uubl cun of Jupiter’s perihelion is passed, for the ' twenty-five, .days yet to l»e completed .count as nothing in a rev olution requiring nearly .11,000 of our days, or twelve of our years. Jupiter’s movements will therefore be fill of interest during tbe present month for all lovers of the stars- , Nearly twelve years must pass be fore tiie condition will again "be ns favorable for observation.* It is a’ lare pleasure-* to watch 'this euperb planet at its present near approach as he comes beaming above the. eastern horizon about 8 o’clock, magnificent in size and radiant' in golden' light, the fairest of all tbe stars among the myriads that glitter in the firmament, bright enough t,o cast, a shadow and afford a glimpse of his moony through ;ood opera glass. It is a still more [di belligerent, and had good lungs. At the polls I challenged the votes of quiet citizens. I joined a faction of our own political party and yelled and stamped out adverse speakers. CHATTER HI. At twenty-four I was rewarded for my services by becomiag “assistant’’ in one of our courts at 1 S3 per - jdiepi- The duties of “assistant’’ are simply to assist the patty. My TCgular presence in court was never insisted upon. That’s not at all essential. But punct uality at ward meetings, primaries, etc., is indispensable. It is here that a politician earns his salary. CHATTER IV. From an “ assistant” I was promot ed to a clerkship at 82,000 per an num. This position giving me more means gave me also in fluence. I was active and diligent in politics, .and found little time to attend!* to any office duties. But,. as I have {yaid before, au office holder'is not paid so much for what he does in tbe dffise as for what he does out of it. Assiduous as ever a* all political gatherines, I commenced approaching socially some of the less ser great men of the party. I might call them our political gentlemen’s gentlemen. I commenced being rec ognized as a person of influence by them. 1 • 1 * - ; - CHAPTER V. I ran for the Legislature and was elected. My election was largely due to the Sunday piccic I gave the resi dents of my ward in one of our sub urban beer-parks. It was at my ex pense, and cost half a year’s salary.

B., io Philapclpbia Times.) Qne name among the list of Terri torial Delegates I will not mention. He was in the House for four year.*, and from the time he entered it until the expiration of his second term he was greatly respected. He was an exceptionally able man, a thinker, a logician and a brilliant speaker. He was college-bred, had spent years in foreign travel, was a lawyer and had been in many responsible official posi tions. He had been . in the Legisla ture of one of the Western States, had been Receiver of Public Moneys and Surveyor-General. While in Congress he lectured before church and scientific, societies here, and no man in Congress was more generally respected. Would the reader like to kuow where this man is now ? lie is still in Washington and about as low in the human scale ns it is possible liiV a man to be. He first became the victim of a gambler, who was himself at one time a distinguished member of Congress from a great Western State. Together they carried on what they callod private club rooms, nnd there ti ey fleeced their victims as they could catch them. They were t fre quently raided by the police, but they .managed to get off; but they sunk lower and lower each year, until final ly they got to the l"we»t game of “policy.” The ex-Congressman from a Western State died a few years ago.

No earthly tints can compare in clearness and delicacy with the golden hue of his disc,' With the purple, pink and bine of his many belts, and with the ruddy glow of his great spot, while nothing can be more interesting than to study the phases of the four. dia mond points of light that bear ' wit ness to the presence of his moons, and picture a solar system in minia ture. Astronomers have made care ful observations of the great spot to determine more accurately the time of the planet’s revolution on its axis. It almost takes one’s breath away to think that Jnpiter tarns on his axis in about ten hours; so that an observer on his equator, would be carried around at the rate of nearly five bun dred miles a minute instead of the seventeen miles that mark the com-, parati vely moderate progress made by,an inhabitant at the earth’s equa tor.

He will not reach his perhelion till 1884, but he is approaching bis opposition, and this most favorable position for observa tion is increased by the wide open pre sentation, of tho rings, giving the planet greater apparent dimensions and much clearer lint. The planets are both moving south. Saturn id now about two degrees and a half north of Jupiter; but as Jupiter mpves the faster the distance between them will increase at' the end of the month to about three degrees and a quarter. Saturn is also a little more thamhalf a degree.west of bis brilliant neighbor.

I was made a Park Commissioner. I be came a Park * Commissioner because that office fell to me iu the deal and, not because I have any partiality for larks. If I had my way parks should ie abolished. They occupy vast areas of valuable building ground to tittle purpose. I served also a season on the Board of .Health. An officious doctor made liimseif particularly disa- greeable to me there, by insisting on various “ reforms” in tho crowded portion'of the city. He wanted a general tearing up of drains, waste pipes, etc and worse ‘than all, when we attempted it, 1 he wanted it done on terms which would have ruined any lolitical contractor or plumber.

At the close of the war he went back to tbe Southern State as Collector of Internal Revenue.

After his term expired lie was appointed Assistant Secretary of tbe Treasury and was at times Acting Secretary. It was here that he fell. He was courted and flattered and used.

The practical duties of the office can always be performed by subordinates. But the political round of duties which, may give one the open sesame to any office, requires ;tears of toil and experience. When I was appointed Inspector of • Steams boats I didn’t know what part ot a boat to iuspoct.; Relying on tliat for* innate destiny which has never de serted me in my political' career, ] went calm and collected on my first official tour ret inspection, on boat d the old Bustnp, Said I, ‘‘Captain, I’ve come to inspect your bp.it; show me her defects.” He waited me to' his private cabin, where a reeherth* collation was prepared. Wo drank to the defects of the Bustup ; and "at the close of the entertainment' the agent- of the bo'mpany presented me witba neat little testimonial of-re spect ; which I took to a bank for safe keeping; A. month . afterward the Bustup blew up, yet' the inspection had'been satisfactory to every one who took part in it. n-- ‘ CHAPTER vni; , i * A thorough political trainiug. rc- qttires.tiiat one should hold.alternately, offices under the city, the State and the federal governments, betides carrying one’s oonnty majority in one’s pocket. In such manner within three years I was Deputy United States Collector, afterward a State Commis sioner for something and finally a Po lice Commissioner. From then I flew to a seat in congress.

It was a pitiful sight to see him about and know wiiat he had been. Finally somebody had him appointed to a 81, 200 clerkship (he wrote a beautiful hand),' and it was ihought that he might pick up and recover; but he didn’t. He had got a passion for gambling, and whenever he could ob tain any money he sought tho tiger and of course lost it, and soon he lost his little clerkship. I understand he now borrows a dollar or two when ever he can and goes into ti e lowest place and plays until it is gone. If he has no money, which is nearly al ways tha case, he w>‘l tit where the game is going on and keep the score for the low wretches that infest ■ tho dives he visits.

It is fully as important to do* mestic happiness as a cultivated ear, for whitili so much tnoney and time arc expended. There are so many things which it is painful to hear— very many which, if hear!, will dis turb the 'temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract from Content- ment and happiness—that every one shbnld be educated to take in or shut ont sounds, aooording to their pleas- hre; ''•■'•■ If a man falls into a violent pas sion and calls ns all manner of names, at the first word we should shut our ears and hear no more. Il in our qaiet voyage of life we find ourselves caught ■ in one ot those domestic whirlwinds of scolding, we should shut our ears as a sailor would un furl his sails, and, making al! tight, scud before the gale. If a hot and restless man begins to inflame our feelings, 1 vre should consider what mischief these fiery sparks may do in our magazine below, where onr temper is kept, and instantly close the door. ' If, as baa been remarked, all the petty, things said of. one by heedie*s or ill-natured idlers were to be brought home to him, ho would be- icome ‘a mere walking pin cushion, stupkfullof sharp remarks.
