Judge O’Neal’s Speech.
We heard tho concluding portion of the
speech of Judgo O'Neal, tho Radical candidate
for Congress in this District, delivered in the
court house at Gainesville on Tuesday last,
A large crowd was in attendance, and the
speaker was listened to very respectfully. He
is a stump-orator of considerable ability. Of
course he cannot do any thing in this District
His nomination was a great relief Wo were
afraid that Joshua Hill would run as an inde
pendent.
Judge O'Neal was very lavish in promises—
equal to Robin Uougbhead in the play—and
he will no doubt perform all he premised—if
elected.
Tho time has come when stump speakers do
very little good or harm either. Tho people
pay very little attention to them. O'Neal is
certainly •• misspending his time” when he at
tempts to persuade the peoplo of this District
to snnt) a Radical to Congress.
' editorial on the subject—the Grand Jury of
Elbert county advocate it in tbelr general
presentments, and Judge Reese joins .in its
advocacy in an able letter just published. In
deed, we cannot see bow any man caD now
reasonably oppose it, unless bo is in favor of
paying the bogus bonds.
The opponents of a Convention at the last
session of the Legislature based their opposi
tion upon tbe fact tbat the Constitution can
be amended by two Legislatures passing con
curreut bills to that effect and submitting tbe
same to the peoplo for ratification. Their ar
gument prevailed, and one of tbe ablest oppo
nents of tbe measure, (Maj. Georgo Hillyer, of
tbe Senate) drew up a constitntional amend
ment, which passed both branches of tbe Le
gislature and received the Executive sanction.
What is tbe result? It appears tbat about
five millions of the eight millions of tbe bogus
bonds are untouched by the amendment, and
the State may bo called on at any day to make
provision for their payment !!
Tbe Legislative plan having failed—we shall
not now stop to inquire why or how—it now
behooves tbe People to take this matter into
their own hands, unless they have determined
to pay these bogus bonds.
How is this to bo done t Let them require
their Representatives to submit to the people
the question of holding a convention as soon
as the Legislature meets. Let them see to it
tbat tbe men to be entrusted with representing
them are sound on this question. If they are
not icilling to trust the people, the people are fools
if they trust them ! Let us have no more leg
islative bungling.
Now, this is not intended to “ relate back
wards.” There were reasons for opposing the
call of a Convention at tho last session which
subsequent events have swept away. We
mako no attack upon those who then opposed
tho measure. It was at that timo a question
of expediency—it is now one of necessity.

B. R. Accident.
A train on tho Dalton, Romo and Solma

Tri-Weekly Eagle.
Wo congratulate Messrs. Redwine & Estes
on tho advont of tbelr new tri-weekly. Like
old Edie Ochiltree, in reference to tho Pictish
camp of Monkbarns, wo were “ there at the
biggin o' it”—in other words, wo were in
Gainosvillo when the first number appeared
and tbo second issue now lies on oar table.—
The Eagle is a very interesting, newsy and
well filled sheet. We hope tbe enterprise will
bo liberally smtained.
Hall Superior Court.
Wo spent two days at Gainesville last week,
and wore pleased to meet many valuod friends
whom wo had not seen for a long while.—
Superior Court was in session, but not so large
a turn-out of pooplo as usual. This was ac
counted for by tho fact that corn is later than
usual this year, and our Hall county friends
were busy gathering fodder. As elsewhere,
we found a general complaint of scarcity of
money. ,
In addition to tbo able local bar wo found
aevcral eminent lawyers in attendance—among
tho number, N. L. Hutchins, Jr., and T. M.
Peeples, of Gwinnett, Hon. H. P. Bell, of For
syth, Hon. W. P. Prico, of Lumpkin, and Will.
I. Pike, of Joffereon. We learn that Hon. H.
P. Bell will shortly becomo a citizen of Gaines-
ville,
The peoplo of Hall are in a more prosperous
condition than nsual. All they now neod is a
little money. Crops will soon be gathered and
"filthy lucre’’ abundant, when we hope they
will not forgot to liquidate.
Gen. Toombs' Atlanta
Judge Locbrane being in Washington when
the report of Uon. Toombs’ speech and Mr.
Abrams' resolutions in reference to the Louis
iana movement reached that city, and finding
as stated by the Atlanta Herald, tbat tbe
speech and resolutions were exciting much
feeling at tbe National Capitol, promptly de
nied tbat said speech and resolutions repre
sented tbe sentiments of tbe people of the
Gate City, and telegraphed to Mayor Spencer
for a confirmation of bis denial. The following
is Mayor Spencer’s reply:
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 19tb, 1874.
Hon. 0. A. Lochranc, Washington City:
Telegram received. General Toombs’ ha
rangue before an ordinary crowd, gathered
from cariosity, does not reflect tbe sentiment
either of tbe people of Atlanta or of the State
of Georgia, but is an expression of bis bombast
and bluster. Resolutions were announced
whilst tbe crowd was dispersing; but few heard
or regarded. All utterances by Toombs or
the newspaper here, which is but bis echo, fix
ing open our people a disposition to interfere
with movements through Georgia of govern
ment troops, or any other act of hostility, is
an unwarrantable slander upon our people,
Our sympathy is with our oppressed fellow-
citizens of Louisiana, *tis true, bnt the ballot,
and not tbe bayonet, is tbs remedy.
S. B. Spencer. Mayor of Atlanta.
In the speech above referred to, General
Toombs, among other foolish and intemperate
utterances, said he would assist in preventing
the passage of Federal troops through Atlan
ta. While the sympathies of onr people are
very naturally and rightfully with the down
trodden citizens of Louisiana, there is no dis
position to take up arms to resist the national
authority.
Gainesville.
We were pleased to observe the many evi
dences of improvement in every direction
which will strike tbe visitor to tbe new city.
It bad been about tws years since we bad soon
it, or rather since we bad stopped there, and
we were surprised at tho number and stylo of
tbe new edifices. Tboss lately built and now
going up are very far superior to tbe buildings
first erected—both stores and dwellings. Tb<
improvements are confined to no section.—
Both " old town ” and " now town " are Im
proving—which reminds us that tbe line of this
street railway, connecting tbe depot and court
house, tho old town and tbe new, is now
graded and the cars will soon bo running.
Gainesville is certainly'a live place, and is
bound to go ahead. We wish our friends
great success.

Stock-Raising, Sheep, Fine Wool.
Wo are permitted to make the following ex
tracts from a letter written by Mr. A. B. Ewing,
of Lowisburg, Ten., to his uncle, Judge E. L
Newton. Many of our readers will remember
Mr. E., formerly a resident of this place, but a
citizen of Tcnncssoe for the past twenty-five
years or more. He says :
“ I frequently see, in the columns of the
Watchman, communications urging the farmers
of Georgia to change their policy, and instead
of planting all, or so much cotton, to plant
more corn, and raiso their own supplies of
grain, stock, bread and meat. This iseridont
ly good advice ; but in order that your people
may avail themselves of tho full benefits to bo
derived from tho change proposod, something
else will have to bo dono. They will havo to
adopt some plan for tbo improvement of tboir
stock My object in this writing is to submit
for your consideration a few suggestions and
facts, which may bo worthy of notice.
“ Wbon this country was first settled and
our lands fresh, wo could raise more corn than
we^ould take care of, aud in the absence of
any market for our grain, tbe only use wo
could mako of it was to feed it to horses, mules
and hogs, for tho planters in the cotton States
While our lands were so productive, wo could
afford to feed our grain to such stock as wo
then had, and live and do well. But some 25
or 30y oars since, our farmers found that the
stock raising business was not paying as well
as it had dono. Our land began to fail in its
yield of grain, and wo could not raise os much
corn as formerly, consequently could not pro
duco or raiso as much stock for markot. This
led our farmers to look out for a remedy to
meet the falling off in tho profits of stock rais
ing. Tho remedy suggested was to improve
our stock, so as to make make half tbo amount
of feed produce as much meat. Experience
has proven tbat this could bo done, and now
in placo of tho old, nati vo scrub stock of horses,
mules, cattle, sheep and hogs, wo have the
improved breeds, somo of which I will contrast
with tho former. Leaving out horses and
mules, I will simply describe those which
think important to be considered in connection
with the change proposed. Twenty-fivo or
thirty years since, our cattle wore small, and
no small part of tho animal was head and horns,
tho average price of milch-cows $6 to $8. Now
an average price is $25 to $30. Then our
sheop would yield 4 to 3 pounds of wool, and
20 to 30 pounds of mutton. We now have im
proved breods tbat yield 8 to 14 pounds of
wool, per annum, and 60 to 100 pounds of mat
ton. I herewith send you two samples of wool,
No. 1 is of one year’s growth, and taken from
a buck whose live weight is203 pounds. Sam
plo No. 2 is six months' growth, aud from one
of a lot of fine sheep, which yielded 45 pounds
of wool at ono shearing, livo weight not known
bnt supposed to be 125 to 160 lbs.
“ Hogs tbat we used to raise, had to be kept
until two and three years old to make them net
250 to 300 lbs. We now, from improved breeds,
raise hogs tbat net 250 and 300 lbs. at twolve
months of age. We now have to feed only one
winter, whereas formerly we had to feed through
two. The improvement in sheep, as to fleece
and mutton, is about as 3 to 1. The same is
tree as to hogs and cattle. But for this im
provement in our stock, in this day of railroads
and railroad facilities, to get our grain to mar
ket, wo would not be justifiable in feeding our
grain to stock."
The woo] referred to is really beautiful. We
have never seen any thing that would compare
with it. Our friends are invited to call and
sen it. They will find it worthy of an exami
nation. Beautiful and flue as it is, thousands
of pounds of it enght to be prodaced annually
in Northeast Georgia.
Dr. John S. Skinner, formerly of Baltimore,
but now deceased, and who was foremost
promoting sheop husbandry in the United
States, expressed tbe opinion many years ago,
tbat the upper counties of Georgia and South
Carolina furnished the best sheep walks in tbe
United States—that tbe climate and produc
tions were better adapted to healthy and profit
able sheop-breeding than any portion of Arner
ica. “ The time is coming, and new is,” for
that matter, when onr people onght te begin
to avail themselves of tbe lavish blessings of
Providence in this respect.
For the Improvement of stock—cattle, sheep
and hogs—Mr. Ewing suggests the formation
of a joint-stock company, with a capital
$25,000 or more, and the purchase of a suitable
farm for breeding and rearing improved ani
mals. Annual sales could be made, and in
few years the whole country stocked with im
proved breeds. After this, attention may be
faiiteid to horses, Jacks, Jennets and moles,
j Wo trust some publio spirited citizens, who
desire to make money and at tbe same time
benefit tbe country, will take the matter In
hand and aotoa Mr. Ewing’s suggestion, whioh
we think a good one.

“ Don’t Blame Gen. Grant-”
We quote the following extract from the late
Greenesboro’ speech of Mr. Stephens, as synop-
sized in the Atlanta Herald :
I am asked about Louisiana. Well, I don't
know wbat to say ; I am not in the habit of
expressing opinions until I know all tbe facte,
and in this case I don’t know them. My sym
pathies are with tho people, bnt I know they
ought not to have taken up arms except as a
last resort. Put tbe blame where it belongs.
Don't blame Gen. Grant. I know General
Grant, and I tell you be is opposed to tbe re
construction measures, and those who favored
them."
The people of Georgia have had enough of
this stuff even though it does come from tbe
sacred lips ot A. H. Stephens. They do not
believe it, and if Mr. Stephens lives and holds
offico for a thousand years longer he will fail
to make them believe it. But it is not our
purpose to answer Mr. S.’s assertion of Grant's
innoconce of tbjs damnable crime. Tbe Tribune
has done it so pithily that we take a real
pleasure in printing ite article. It is herewith
appended :
The President’s Victory.—Gen. Grant
has vanquished the people of Louisiana agaia.
He has telegraphed to bis Generals and bis
Admirals; ho has set the army and navy in
motion ; and the lawful government of Louis
iana surrenders. If there was any doubt be
fore as to tbe character of the usurpation
which rules the unhappy State by favor of the
President—any question whether the people
really acquiesced in it—there can be none now,
The outrage stands out henceforth in all ite
naked deformity, an unpardonable crime
against popular suffrage and tbe sovereignty
of a State. A government which the people
loathe and despise was forced upon Louisiana
by the soldiers of the President. Left to them
selves for a moment, tbe people threw it off
and installed the officers whom they had reg
ularly chosen at the polls. The deposed in
traders made no fight; they were as helpless
and cowardly as children in the presence of
tbe indignant people; bnt cowering behind
the shutters of tbe Custom House they tele
graphed to the President, “ The people have
put us out; this is your Job; come you and
put us back again.”
Two years ago, Grant yielded to the bad ad
vice of his disreputable associates, and installed
Kellogg at New Orleans, by fraud and force,
because he wanted the electoral vote of tho
State, which a majority of the voters bad given
to tbo otber side. That wicked deed has
brought forth a full crop of crimes. We have
seen him dispersing a Legislature at the point
of the bayonet, expelling a legitimate Govern
ment with threats of martial law, and rovers
ing the coarse of justice by tbe scandalous
support of a perjured court. His old friends
havo exclaimed at the iniquity of these pro
ceedings and warned him to desist. The hot
test partisans ef his administration have de
nounccd tbe wicked usurpations of Kellogg and
Dnrell with an indignation tbat does them
credit. Seventeen Republican Senators voted
in February. 1873. to declare the pretended
election of Kellogg null and void, and to turn
him out of office. The President himself
finally admitted in a special message to Con
gress tbat so many forgeries and frauds had
been discovered tbat be was not sure of Kel
logg’s title. An official investigation proved
the rascality of tho whole transaction beyond
any possibility of denial. Bnt tbe President
would not halt. He must carry out his orig
inal crime to ite natural consequences, and the
inexorable logic of evente*aa led him to this
crowning Bbame. For tho first time in the
history of the United States the soldiers of the
Union are employed to drive ont a legitimate
Governor and place a miserable pretender in
the State-house to shoot down in tbe streets
the people who may refuse to obey him. For
this disgraceful and disheartening spectacle
tbe Congress which refused to act on the Lou
isiana report, and the Republican party which
tacitly approved tbe wrong, are both to blame
but It is upon tbe President tbat the chief re
sponsibility must rest—the President who be
gan the long coarse of oppression—the Presi
dent who coaid have stopped it at any mo
ment if he bad chosen, and could stop it new
—the President who is probably the only mac
in America uot ashamed of the wholp business,
and who comes forward in the midst of it ask
ing for a third term.
