It was the general impression among prominent Otliciais an! the outsele public that the Board had made n mistake, ami wo be lieve it will prove a serious, if not a fatal error. This paper dot ’ not subscribe to that feeling of local prejudice which would fueled one city outside of Athens, in pre ference to another, or which would knife Atlanta at any co>t. It was for the Uom- mtasion to .*ay whether Athens should bo selected or not: when that point wa> ruled neninst us. the representatives of Athens on the Board and in attendance were not concerned in killing oil’the chances of any other city. The Athens commissioner believed, with all the 1 ghts it before him, that Athens was pre-eini- |"*nently the place for the school, and so j maintained by his vote to the conclusion. lie would not have heen justified by his '"Math -or bia Teipuremegts JiL.i»ltering the result by voting in a retaliatory ?pirit for a tl ird city merely to keep the school awsy from Atlanta. What we have said and what we w ill say on this question does no. proceed from opposition to At lanta or prejudice against it.

I The Ban of yesterday of holding democratic > Kit-\V a tcti m a n’s editorial mggesting the importance i primary election by the tersofour eitv and countv to decide the question of candidates for all offices, has met with the almost unan imous approbation of all good citizens. The suggestion we believe will be acted upon. We want the fullest, the freest and the fnire>t expression of the popular voice, and to this end will make the fol lowing suggestion: Let each candidate for Mayor of Athens meet and select twenty friends, cho*cn from every class of his voters, in whose hands he will rest his claims and pledge his honor to al»ide]by any decision that they tiny make. Let these men then get together and de- Mr. Blaine continues his hippodrome through Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey. lie wages his fight on two grounds—protective tariff and negro suf frage. lie makes these issues akin in a very remarkable way, and yet when we consider the object Mr. Blaine has in view, the combination is not unnatural. A protective tarilf draws to the North ern artisan a handsome premium from the pockets of the Southern and West ern planter. A full negro suffrage con trolled by the Northern politician would carry protection to the New England i demagogue and office-seeker. High tar iff gives the fruits of Southern labor to the Pennsylvania manufacturer. ‘‘Free i ballot" is to give the suffrage «f South- labor to the Maine politician. It is uide on holding a primary election, to bo ; protection f *r plunder in both instances, conducted in the fairest manner that can j ami the whole scheme for high tariff and Jje divised.

One of the most interested among the disinterested spectators at the Techno logical meeting in Atlanta was Uon. Da- Yid 11. Harrell,of Webster. He has been a consistent nnd unremitting opponent of the school and the scheme from the be ginning. He opposed the bill in the last Legislature on the ground that there was no surplus in the treasury nnd would not he in several years. The law re quired the money to bo given from funds not otherwise appropriated, and under this provision Mr. Harrell held, no money could be available without the raising of an additional tax. He charac terized the University as a school for rich men’s sons, and said it >vas no place for poor hoys or farmers. He waged war on the University ring, nnd was re flected to the Legislature, we are told, on this very issue, lie enters the House naxt month loaded for Technological Schools and was getting all the points ot the meeting, for his columhiad. He will have Mr. McLendon, of Thomas, in his forefiont otice more with a review of his political record, however, and we look for some lively scenes. Mr. Harrell is an aide man. but he is a treasury guard, self-appointed, and a chronic grumbler. He is a fine lawyer, and was a member of the constitutional convention, and his powers are those which Knight be directed to better pur- _ poses. lie can afford to leave to dema gogues some of the points in his argu- . incuts,and serve the State better in other ways. Mr. Harrell, of Webster, proba bly opposes the University for a reason pllnHtr to that which influenced Sir jjyrigJIoach in refusing to legislate for posterity.

This is a_picture for ^ Blaine’s next oration. port. Candidates and their friends have been long bled by a corrupt horde of suf frage-venders, and each year, instead of seeing the evil lessened, it is on the in crease. We are not waging this war in tho interest of any candidate, but in be half of decency and pure government. The polls in Clarke county have long been a tiavesty on the name of elec tions, for the balance of power was trans ferred to tho most venal ami corrupt element of our population, and the hal lo. of an honest citizen ranked no higher than the vote of an unscrupulous and de praved creature who yet had in his pock et tho price of his influence. Such a practice is demoralizing to our people, to onr business interests and to society. It cannot eontinne nlways, and the sooner the honest voters of our county arise in their majesty and place the brand of condemnation on suffrage-bartering the tetter for us. Now is the accepted time. We are trying to force no revo lutionary measures on the party, but will gladly accept any suggestion that willremedy this evil. Fine thoroughbred Poland China pigs for sale. Apply to J. 15.

The dust and heat have been unpleasant, hut the fields have received due attention and the bolls have been cleanly picked. Noth ing has stood in the way of the prompt marketing of the crop, save, perhaps, the engrossing attention which the farm er has given to picking out Hauling has heen stopped in man}' places for that and the attendance at the various county courts is slim because of the rapid open ing of cotton and the attention which the fanner is obliged to pay to his fields.
