n The frequent failure of the mails
IS becoming a positive nuisance. We
.aEe. not in the habit Of dealing out CEN
sure indiscriminately, as our readers
very we'll know That the condition of
the roads is very bad, is true, and be-
cause they are so, we have been disposed
to excuse those whose business it is to
carry the mail And if the failures
were only occasional, we would not
complain But the failures have be-
come the rule, and the occasional arri-
val Of the mail is the exception. There
may be causes for the seeming delin-
quency, Of which we have no knowledge,
but If so. the public ought to be ap-
prised of them. that undeserved censure
may not be put upon the contractors
The citizens, and We among them, are not
aware that the regular, or reasonably
regular transmission of the mail is i'm
practicable And if it is not. the con-
tractors ought to be held to the prompt
performance Of their obligations, in
which the whole community have so
deep an interest. 1t will give us much
more pleasure to publish full and sat
isfactory explanation of the matter than
to find fault. We hope the subject will
be looked into by the the proper au-
thorities.

THE ATHENS MESSENGER

Ih6 IA Elm . NA6SSHNU4xG
Is down upon us with nearly column
of severe comments for our apology
for the vote of our Representative in
Congress, on the "legal tender bill. -
We would publish the Messengers arti-
Gle if we had room, which we have not.
The Messenger takes US to task on two
grounds: first for making any apology
at all; and next, for the quality Of The
one we did make. "a.
Now, we humbly submit, that the
Messenger is too severe on US in both
these respects. The Messenger says we
are suspected of being the "organ" of
Mr.. Horton Now we appeal. to friend
Wildes, if it is not the duty of an Cor
gan" to apologize for, when it cannot
sustain its s'patron."
But, laying aside the fact of our Tor
ganship, we honestly thought the vote
referred to needed an apology; and sus-
pecting, what has since proved true,
that all the other papers in the District
would denounce the vote, we felt the
duty still stronger upon US to make the
effort. This, we submit, ought to
be satisfactory for the fact of our max
ing the apology.
As to the quality of the apology it.
self, while we admit our success was not
brilliant, we insist that it was all that
ought to have been expected, under the
circumstances. 1t is requiring too
much, we think, of even skillful work
man, to furnish a good job when the
materials are Of indifferent quality
One of the sorest trials OF our early boy
hood was the failure, after long and
patient effort, to bore an auger hole
with gimblet. The effort, however,
proved dead failure; and we have never
yet found the genius who could accom-
plish the feat, although whole COM
munities of grown up boys have often
tried the experiment.
