' . *• ' ■ • Communicated;] ;« Dii. Carlton—Having visited Low Prices. me pleasure to speak a good word in behalf of the people of CarnesvilSe and Fraitklin county generally. It will be remembered that in days agone the vote of Franklin county, on one occasion, decided the result of the election for Governor of Geor gia. That was in the days when Whig and Democracy were the only political parties known to Southern politicians and when the territory of I’ ranklin and Wilkes counties em- bracedJhe country now included in Elbert., Madison, Hart, and almost a‘ dozen other counties which have been created . by latter-day Legisla tures. At that time the Morrisses, Knoxes and a few others of equal talent, exercised the political influ ence now wielded by mere than a score who live in the same territory, their opinions were accepted as polit ical gospel, and as they voted so voted this majority. Times have changed since then, and men have changed with them. New counties have been created; senaterial dis tricts have been added; the number of representatives has been increased, ambition* .politician or lo^er of political honors has a three-fold chance to win renown to that ot his fathers. Well, with all the changes of county Hues and legislative enact ments Franklin is yet one of the best counties in the State. The lineal descendants of patriot fathers take pride in illustrating the examples of their sires, and llie voice cf Franklin to-day is but the echo of those wise heads who in former years contribu ted so much to the good government of the great commonwealth of Geor gia. As stated above my visit was in the interest of the Banner. The spring term of the Superior Court was in session, and of course a large majority of the people were iu at ten dance. I found the Banner univer sally popular as a newspaper and a large majority who favored its political course. The good people ol that county have not forgotten the political redemption wrought by the organized democracy when our State was in the hands of Bullock and his despoilers; neither are they nnmind ful of the fact that organization saved the State of South Carolina ■which lie’s so near them from the same des potic hands, and they are determined to preserve that power which' 1 was the bulwark of the people in the darkest days of" our political history. Within the borders of'Franklin couni^r are*some of the fhi^stframririg lands in the State.

Indeed, he is so taken with my friend John McCarter as a Sheriff, that be remarked to him in a crowd, before leaving Carncsville that as long as he was Judge he wanted Mr. Ale. to be Sheriff. In reference to the business of the Court I copy the following from that excellent paper the Carnesville Register^ to the Editor of which', Mr. T. W. Ayers/ I am indebted for tiiany*^ pleasant acquaintances, aud who seemed not to weary in making my visit agreeable: “ There was a large amount of busi ness iu court, but no cases of much importance. We append a report of the most important criminal cases which Were tried at this term: The State vs. Lovtiy E. Segars— tailing v without .license. Guilty. Fine fifteen dollars and costs, or imprisonment in county jail three months. The State vs. Rufus Johnson, col assault and battery. Guilty. ine twenty dollars. We understand that the Alorris case was compromised by plaintiff paying three hundred dollars. The State vs. Edmond Corson, col’d, assault and battery. Guilty. Fine $50. The State vs. John Mayfield, col, disturbing public worship. Guilty. Fine $20.” I will not close this communication without copying from the Register the highly deserved compliment to our worthy Solicitor General Mitchel. The Register says: “ When we repeat what Judge Rice has said of Col> Mitchell, we pay him a compliment which we think is not ill directed—that he is one of the most promising young men iu the State of Georgia. Never have we had any Solicitor on this circuit (none excepted) that guarded the inteiest of the State closer than does Col. Mitchell. Several criminals have ap peared before the court this week and the Solicitor has not failed to convict a single one. May he long remain the Solicitor of-tire.

[From tbe New York Tribane.] About a month ago Mrs. Catherine Keonan, who lives with her husband and a grown up daughter, in a shanty on Bush street, Red Hook, Brooklyn, was bitten on the wrist by a favorite cat, which was fighting with other cats near her residence. Mrs. Kee nan paid no attention to the wound, whieh healed, leaving two small scars. On Thursday morning she began to feel severe pains in the wrist which was bitten. These gradually extent ded up. the arm, and site became so sick tljgt early Thursday evening she sent fqjr^.the Rev. Laurence Toner, assistant pastor of the Chufuh of St. Mary, Star of the Sea. When told of the cat’s bite, he surmised that it was a case ot<. hydrophobia. This opinion w^s confirmed by offering Mrs. Keenan some water, whiclr threw her into a spasm/ Father Toner at once summoned Dr. Geo. W. Welty, of No. (f60 Cliuton street, who fouud Mrs. Keenan sittiug up in bed in ^ intense agony, her eyes wild and protruding, and grasping her throat convulsively. Her daughter brougiit a teaspoon of W’ater to her, but. it threw her into a tremor and caused her to breathe with difficulty. A tablespoonful of water ws* brought at her request/ but when it was offered’ 'to hef"she exclaimed wildly : ** I’ll tear you.” At length she swallowed it. Dr Welty prescribed sulphate of morphia, and called in consultation Drs. •Nathaniel and A W, Ford, who agreed with him that it was a genu ine case of hydrophobia. No drugs xeemed to have any effect. Yesterday morning the symptoms were more aggravated. Mrs. Keenan had been unable to s'eep during the night and her pulse was at loO. At noon she was frothing at the mouth, but was able to take a little gruel. She refused to lie in bed, but stood at a window, leaning with both hands upon a table. Late in the afternoon, Mrs. Keenan was much weaker, and it was evident that she could not live very long. Even then she was un willing to lie in bed, and when laid upon it would persist in sitting up. When she was offered, some tea she took the cup in her hand, refused to swallow the fluid Mrs. Keenan is sixty-seveu years of age. Mrs. Keenan’s spasms increased in frequency toward the evening, and she grew visibly weaker. At 7:25 p. m. her death occurred. Dr. Weltz said, last evening, that he never' fia'd any doubt that it was a genuine case of hydrophobia. He considered it a case of great’importance to the medi cal profession.* f ] -'•-“Nranv Town, ahead where they loan a.Hollar, and chalk it dowq till to morrow, for a bottle of Merrell’s Heapatine for the liver.
