There is nothing in hi.s rec ord at which an honest man or a deni- 1 "-•rat can blush, and I have no idea that the people will pay any attention t“ the puny charge hatched up in diat Gainesville sheet."

It is not true, as stated iu the bill,that these J * 1 it, either us a ou the contia- asert aud are prepared to prove that they are entire ly responsible,pecuniarily,for any and all obligations and liabilities which they have or may assume or incur. The fact that some of the individuals composing this defendant's firm are in possession of assets, ought to be known to the complainant. The charge in the bill that these defend fendaata aver that the letters they have which they intended to publish are pnbhc and official Iettei*. * These defendants further answering say that it does not lie in the mouth of the complainant in this case to find fault with any body else for making public the contents of other people’s letters without the consent of the wri ter. He has been frequent]}*, notori ously and conspicuously guilty of that very thing in every canvass he has ever made in this district for congress except perhaps his first. He has read from the stumpto hundreds of people, private letters of private citizens written to friends, and has done this In defiance of the express wish and over the indignant protest of the wri ter who was in his audience at the time. He has caused this same letter afterwards to lie published in a news paper of this district which dirculates widely therein. He has caused the publication in that same newspaper of extracts from a letter written by a following i been forwarded to us by Gen. W. T. Wottord. , It seems that R. M. Mitch ell, who lives at Acwqrtb, otho re ceived one of the letters, was an old •nny friend of Gen. Wofford—serving In his brigade during the war.

This was grateful news to Judge Litchfield, who was present, and as the judge has an investigating mind, he soon got to the bottom c-f the matter. He got the letters and for warded them to Lien.

The colored people, as a gen eral tliinig, worked hard for both Gurtrell and Stewart, hut tlie mas-esof that race evinced but little interest in the contest. We never saw a more orderly election held in Athens, or one freer from strife and contention. A majority of the peo ple deposited their ballots aud immedi ately went back to their business. But in spite of this lethargy on the part of tlie democracy the nominees carried the coim’.y. From the country precincts the retnms were most encouraging. Independence received a rebuke that bodes well for the November contest. Georgia factory voted almost as a unit for the nominees, which proves that the claims of Mr. Speer have a very shallow Inundation in fact. Winterville, as usu al, was almost solid for Stephens and Livingston, and left not tlie shadow of a hope for the young coalitionist. In other counties in this district the inde poneiL-nt Candidates were buried beneath large majorities, and democracy was triumphant.

Let me hear from Constitution. Senator Ben Duggar, of Fannin conn- tv, has been in the city since Saturday. Yesterday he was busy shaking hands with his old friends and chatting with the mountain boys on the sunny side of the custom house. A Con-stitution re porter asked him how things were mov ing along in the 9th He replieil: “I am satisfied with the prospect. Of course I can’t go into print and tell everybody where my strong hold is and give my en emies a chance to hurt me there. There are enough falsehoods seated about ti e now. I understand that Mr. Speer has charged me with being in the pay of Mr. Candler—that I wits put out by him. A falser statement never was made. Mr. Candler never spoke to me on this sub ject and never paid me a niekle. On the contrary I believe that the race is between me and Mr. Candler.

Hurricane In Ireland. London, Oct. 1.—A hurricane pre vailed in Ireland to-day. At Cork more damage was done on land than had been caused by any previous storm for twenty years past. The American ship Harvey Mills, from Liverpool for Xew York, lying at Queenstown, was driven ashore, and several yachts were sunk in the har bor. At Newty a large number of booses were greatly damaged, and the town was flooded. At Limerick twen ty feet ofthe spire ofa Catholic church was blown down during service, caua- ing a panic among the congregation, which was, however, quickly allayed. The county jail was damaged.
