Our neighbor, the Eagle, seems to have shrunk up to the inside size of the switch end of the sideling of the Georgia railroad that comes up to the Arlington House privy and ignores the little Air Line railroad entirely. \V"e suppose the Eagle has concluded since the switch took up their line connecting with the Air-Line that that company is busted and Gaines ville entirely contribntary to Augusta. Can’t Little Breeches tell the truth when he has our paper before him? We did not say he “was not a teller in the democratic caucus.” We said (and there are plenty of that issue of the Southron to be found) that “Howard Thompson was secretary, and Little Breeches was not.” We now say he ought to have bebn sec re tar}’, teller and treasurer. Is that satisfactory, Bub ? We suggest to the democratic convention, which meets today in Chicago, to engraft a copy of the Piedmont Press and Long John's cablegrams from Ham as their plat form. Their tariff ideas, civil service reform proclivities and national fame will insure success. If the party lets this opportunity slip, it will commit another of its serious blunders, and will deserve the defeat that awaits it. Col. H. W. J. Pigeon Booster, the chief editor and Washington corres pondent of “Our Sainesviile Eagle bird,” rejoices just now in the fact that he carries concealed about his person the future intentions of Presi dent Blaine, when that gentleman shall be installed President of the United States. We always know the P. Rooster was loaded, but wo never suspicioned before the character of "the ammunition. The Alliens colored fire company won nearly all the prizes at the Grif fin Tournament, but were foully cheated out of several of them. At least this is the testimony of intelli gent and honorable outsiders who were present. This report is no dis grace to the Athens boys and a last ing one to our Griffin neighbors.— The Athens boys will accept our thanks for a personal serenade as they passed on their way home. The organized laddies seem to have a pretty hard time to find among their nine a candidate thej are willing to pit against Independent Col. Billy Marlcr tor Senator. One after an other is set aside after grooming awhile, and now they are entirely at sea again, it is said. Meanwhile William is going ahead like a little man upon his own merit and gaining a lap or two eaeh day on the organ ized boys. Trot out your branded horse, gentlemen, and let the people look him over and examine his hoofs and head. A special from Tallulah to the At lanta Constitution, on the Ist inst., states the following: Miss Fincher, a mountain lassie, while milking, threw a rock at her cow, striking her in the forehead and killing her instantly. This is the sort of Amazonian female wc have in Northeast Georgia. When a girl gets tired of splitting rails or plowing, she varies her amusements by going out with a hand full of stones and slaying a few cows, instead of driving all the neighbors cFazy by thumping the keys oilman ancient piano. • o The democrats of the olden time reached the White House by the straight forward front way—always stepping from a well supported and thoroughly braced platform. The reform democrats of to day are dis gusted with platforms and platform builders* and are endeavoring to reach the goal of their ambition by climbing- a freshly skinned pine pole leaning “horizontally” from the back alley. They fail to recognize that principle of equity, as old as the common law, that they tnust recover upon their own strength, and not upon the weakness of their enemies. REFORMERS. The poor old demon a,i ‘c party— that grand organization f ,it flashed into existence lijke a v ,uaor in the. days o,f the patriots, a was so long an honest party—a ; • r y of princi ples and bold aggress;. -platforms —. has at last/weakeued down to a “jfack-wilh a-lantern” o ganization— that is to savu it+whi.ies but occasion ally, but the light it throws off is only intended for a snare am! a delusion. It has thousands bf good and" true men in its yanks, but the leaders are a set of skulkers tha like maggots are- endeavoring to fatten, on what they once called, the festering sores of its enemies. We all recollect that during the administration of Presi dent Grant, a measure passed Con gress that the leaders of the demo- cratic party called the “salary grab” bill. That measure doubled the allow ance of the President of' the United States, and did nearly the same for the members of Congress. The howl that went up among the faithful (?) was deafening, and many good and true members of Congress, who dared to take the ‘grab’ that had been pro vided for them by their enemies, and which they had opposed with all their might, were relegated to the shades of private life, without being allowed a word in explanation or self defense. Col. W. P. Price, at Dahlonega, ship wrecked on that rock, although he ‘soaked’ his part of the grab in the North Georgia Agricultural College. Gen. P. M. B. Young, of the seventh district, and gallant Tom Norwood, United States Senator from Georgia, in those days, were passengers on the same boat that went to pieces away up the democratic salt creek. Norwood never appreciated-how far below the democratic zero that vote placed him, until he dared to run for Governor against Gen. Colquitt, and then it was that the honest indigna tion of our little Allen D. Candler broke loose in tirades of abuse, that made the seed ticks on the grassy knobs in Banks prick up their ears like unto a mule. But times -have changed. Mind you, when the “salary grab bill” was passed, the republican party had full control of all the departments of the government. Now it is different. The democrats have control of the money bags—the appropriation bills all originate in a democratic house.— With this state of things, then, the people who have been accustomed to hear the vamping and vaperings of their bosses, naturally inquire what has become of the salary grab busi ness? We are compelled (although it is one of the. most humiliating confessions we ever made) to say the grab i§**‘there yet, Eli.” With all the bombast, and bun combe reform and investigations that we have heard so much about recent ly, the salary grab stands still in bold King’s English on our statue books, and each Simon-pure democratic statesman walks up regularly to the captain’s office and draws it like a vampire. Our little Allen D. Can dler, who is such a reformer that he can’t sleep because deputy collectors of interna! revenue and deputy U. S. marshals and gaugers draw/ their little wages for their work, has never thought of the fact, that in the iionest hays of pure undefiled Jeffersonian democracy, such men as Thomas Jefferson, John C. Calhoun, Robert Y. Ha\ne, Robert Toombs and the long list of illustrious states men who were democrats, served for less than one half of the $5,000 he is now receiving, without even a word of protest. But wade in “Plow Boy of Pigeon Roost,” while you can touch bottom, for the time cometh when your-sort will see i hey have builded on a sandy foundation, wdth ho bot tom to it! We recollect when the hue and cry was raised in Georgia over the fact that Bullock’s legisla tors were taking for their services $9.00 per da}-. The people rose in their majesty and sent new men in the places of the Bullock crowd. They reduced their pay the first thing to $7.00, and finally it dropped to $4.00, and to both reductions the people cried Amen! Georgians are not different from other peoples. One of these days the long suffering folks who are now quietly working their corn and eot ton, are going to rise like they did in the days of Oliver Cromwell, and then the “reformers” (?) who have been working at the mote in their neigh bor’s eyes, but giving no attention to the hcaDrin their own, will deserved ly share the fate of Charles I and his creed; and all the honest people, democrats and republicans will say A MEN I There it lay coiled up on the floor. A harmless circle of elastic braid, held together by two nickel clasps. And yet, among all those three hun dred brave men and handsome women present, not one dared to touch it Pittsburg Chronicle. The Mundy Blackburn controver sy has been settled. Mr. Blackburn apologises by reiterating his charges of ungentlemanly and indecent con duct against Mr. Mundy, and the Reverend gentleman subsides. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. Considerable discussion is going the rounds of the press as to the pro priety of abolishing our Railroad Commission, and we wish to haye our tilt along with the boys. In the first place, we do not think its establishment has retarded rail road building in-tlie State, as more miles of road have been built since the passage of the act than at an}’ similar period of time in her history. Wherever the demands of commerce have called for a railroad the money has been found with which to build it,'and only wild cat railroad schemes find no subscribers. When there is nothing in the route and financiers know it and are aware of the fact that they cannot fleece the people,'they don’t put their money into it, but if there is a solid demand for the road, a good country to support it when built, the money is forthcoming. In the next place, not a single rail road in the State has defaulted since the establishment of the Commission, while every railroad built since the war before the creation of the Com mission has been through bankrupt cy. If the Commission be ruinous to the railroads how do they steer clear of bankruptcy? The check of the commission makes the management cautious and frugal, while unbridled license creates ex travagance, speculation and ruin to the holders of its stock and securities. The roads built here become more of an investment than a gambling scheme, and hence honest investors prefer Georgia where the management is compelled to stick to legitimate business in honest roads, instead of wild imaginary profits in a bogus rail load with nothing in it, save anew chance to gamble in Wall street. Lastly, we are in favor of an amend ment to the law. The Commission has too much and too arbitrary power. The right of appeal to the courts should be preserved and given the roads, but not in such a manner as to destroy the effect of the Commission. Let its edict stand until reversed by the courts and not be suspended by reason of appeal during its pendency. This would insure justice to the peo ple and ample rights to the railroads. The entire abolition of the Commis sion would be a long step backward and we are. opposed to it, but the modifications suggested, it occurs to us, are all that is necessary. Our Commission is a model one, and numbers of our sister States are trying to establish it for the govern ment of their roads and protection of the people against discrimination, and until-Congress shall have passed an international railroad commission act they could do no better than'ad opt it. With the amendments sug gested the Commission has got a long career of usefulness before it. The democratic party in this sena torial district care nothing about who Pete Lawhse, or any other carpet-bag republican, may nominate f*. r senato rial honors. What has the Southron to do with it? Who recognizes the Southron as authority in the business of the democratic party, in this sena torial district? if the republicans want a candidate they have plenty of material, and plenty of time, and the democrats of Banks county will not object to Pete Lawshe as their leader. In the meantime, we suppose the democrats of Haii and Jackson will be able to take care of themselves, with the rotation plan included, if necessary.—North Georgian. We can truthfully say that we don’t wish to dictate to the bourbon wing of the democratic party in this district as to whom they shall nominate in this senatorial district to represent them in the next State Senate. On the contrary, we desire that they shall be perfectly free to trot out whomsoever the Gainesville nine mny “nominate,” and then the inde pendent people (of whom we are only one) will very likely 1< t the Gaines vijje nine know at the ballot box whether or not they have ‘nominated’ the right man. So far as we are con oerned, we are for Col. W. 1,. Marler, a democrat, we believe, for Senator, if he is a candidate, whether the Gaines ville nine and the North Georgian “nominate” him or not. This is the sort of a hair pin we are, and that is the kind of people that inhabit the thirty third senatorial district, as we believe. Lot the procession proceed, Bro. North Georgian. SENATOR MAHOSTI3. Senator Mahone has done more than any one hundred men within her borders to rescue Virginia from hopeless bankruptcy and perpetual disgrace, and yet there are more than one hundred unregenerated bourbons in Virginia who denounce Senator Mahone as a “traitor to his State,” and a disgrace "to himself and the people for whom lie has done so liiuch to place once more upon the plane of respectability occupied by most of tiie other States of this great Union. Mr. Mahone is less hurt in the eyes of the conservative world in this warfare than the State of Vir ginia, and will outlive its results first. Commencement season is about over, and now our exchanges are de voting their extravagant fancies to the watermelon and snake stoiy. SPEER HIS PARD. Mr. Speer is feting manfully for his friend BiftjEanion, in Atlanta. In his writ of ha||eas corpus, he makes two points WteaTOllj * n probability, keep William going back to the free state\~Xb<L following we blip from the Const •■ion, which explains the ends which ill*. Speer is working to save his former foend: . “The issues involved are very im portant. Th of; J concern the whole question of courts contracts by which contracts for misdemeanors are hired out to those wh<*pay their fines. It will be confcendfd by the counsel of William that thetlaw-authorizing such contracts wall "adopted in 1874, and repealed in 18'|8, and besides that, that the law itself is simply another form of imprisonment for debt and is unconstitutional’and that nobody but the governor besfthe right to commute the sentence of one convicted and sentenced forcing, and that therefore no such contract—-which it is con- tended is realty a commutation or change of sentence —can be main tained by thcourts. It has never been directly decided by the supreme court, althouojt&ases strongly analo gous have been decided maintaining this position... 1878 the legislature of the state amended section 4310 under which thff punishment for ille gal voting is irtfiicted, adding a pro viso that nothing herein contained shall authorize toe giving of control of convicts to sally ate persons or their employment bj r county authorities in such pursuits as will bring the products of theililabor in competition with the products of free labor.’ ” Panion was tog* Candler during the late campaign, 4nd worked up the negroes of Mad'rlbn county in support of the ticket. Rut doubt less he has led Mr. Speer to believe that he is a victim of persecution on his account.—Banner-Watchman. Tne ease to vtoicli Editor Gantt refers in the above was settled last week in favor of Mr. Speer and his “Pard,” in an elaborate opinion ren dered by Ordinary Calhoun of Fulton county. The decision is sound and right, and will at once put a stop to this trading and speculation in the labor of convicts as though they were mules and oxen, and also to chanoino' the sentence of tjae courts to suit the convenience of the speculators in hu man labor. It may be true that “Bill Panion” voted for Candler, as nearly all illegal votes in the district were cast for him. At the same time it is fortunate for Biff that he induced Speer to take up his case, as his ankles would have been worn to the bone by his sk-s4vki.es, and liis back scourged by many stripes before the Bantam of Pigeon Boost cau under stand the principles of law upon which he was tuined loose, let alone have the ability to present them to a court with sufficient force to release Bill, or any other) of his illegal vot ing crowd. f a#FERL.M|Mi| HjljljP Jfj J.ftlL Of all things #<stestable that God in his great mercy allows to live and breath upon this earth, the man who will wilfully tell or write a malicious lie for the purpose of breaking down the personal character of his fellow man, although he be an open or even a secret political enemy, is the vilest and as fully deserves the punishment set apart for such in the Bible, after his miserable life on earth is ended, as the midnight assassin or ineen diary deserves the rope or guillotine here for the protection of society. We have had many a political fight in the long years w r e have conducted a newspaper, and have given and taken many hard things openly and above board, but whenever we strike a man’s personal character in the dark and with deliberate falsehood, we hope God will paralyze our tongue before the utterance or our hand be fore it is written. Yes, our brain before it is conceived. Ihe Democratic party is always ready to receive recruits, and will treat all such with due consideration, but it is amusing to see an individual attempt to take position at the head of the column and claim to be as good a democrat as any body, who,° for years, has b en fighting the party, voting against its candidates, and doing every thing in his power to disrupt and destroy the organization. It would be mors in record with the eternal fitness of things for such to bring forth at least some fruits, be fore asking to be placed in command. Eagle. Oh Sum, oi> Samuel, that is a Joe Darter. Whv don’t you have the Ea* - le arrested for illicit distilling or for cruelty to animals? Do some thing with that old bird, for God’s sake, or it will everlastingly ruin somebody’s prospects and scuttle their new political dug-out forever. The bourbon papers are publishing what they say is John A. Logan’s record in Illinois upon the negro question, and they make him out the most inveterate negro hater in the United States. These publications are of course false, but if they are true how can any bourbon democrat, South of Mason’s and Dixon’s line, go back upon him and make any show of consistency, as negro hatred is the main plank of their political creed. Wc should think John A. Logan would be one of their patron saints, since their late discovery of his orthodoxy as a genuine bourbon of long standing. Do they now in tend to go back upon their beautiful record and vote against one of their pioneers ? IMPORTANT NOTICE. Lippincdtt & Cos. haye now in press, shortly to be delivered to the gasping public the speeches of the Hon. A. D. Candler, M. G., 9th district of Georgia, delivered during the first session oGthe present Congress. Al ready orders for the Ist edition of 250,000 have been received and an edition of 100,000 more will shortly be put through to supply the pressing demand. It is generally conceded that the book will take the place of all text works on political economy in our schools and universities. The capac ity with which he has advanced as one of the soundest statesmen of the country has no parallel. John C- Calhoun in his palmiest days has been distanced. Reared among the mountains of North Georgia, where he early came in contact with the Shetland ponies in and around the famous Pigeon Roost mines he layed bare, to the wondering eyes of this glorious repub lic the grand future that awaits the man of brains, vim and energy who will-only seize the possibilities as they pass. In addition to this Demosthenes and Cicero are said to pale into in significance in point of eloquence to this wonderful prodigy from tfie far famed 9th. Only quote a few pas sages of these speeches from hi3 elo quent tongue, and your character as an orator is established. His elocu tion is said to transcend even the reading of these now famous extem poraneous efforts. This wonderful book can be pur chased at all the book stores through out the land, but as the present edi tion is only limited we would advise our readers to send directly to H. W. J. Ham, Long John or Little Breeches, who are prepared to fill all orders. MATCHES. From an article in a recent New York Trade Journal we learn that the price of matches will doubtless advance before next September. Foreign manufacturers have been shipping large quantities of various brands to the United States billed at about one fifth their value, reducing the duty to a very small percentage of the prices received for them when sold. Since an investigation of the swindle, there will be a change made, protecting American producers. Matches, for six months, have been selling at such ridiculously low prices, that this advance has been expected for some time, and will not ■worprise jobbers of the useful com mod it}’. i The “parlor match” is taking the lead, and it is only a question of £ short time when the disagreeable and unreliable little sulphur match will be entirely superceded by the more satisfactory kind that emits no pois onous furnes, and burns with a brighter, steadier flame. POLITICAL. To-day the National Democratic Convention meets at Chicago to nom inate their candidates for President and vice President of this great and grand republic. If there work shall be patriotically and wisely done, this will be a hotly and closely contested canvass, but if they should, as they commonl}’ do, make a fatal mistake in men and platform, the “plumed knight” and “Black Jack” will walk into the White House with the largest electoral and popular vole that has been cast for President since Lin coln’s last election. The masses of the people of this country are not partizan to a degree that they will sink their patriotism in aiding a lot of politicians in their wild hunt for the spoils of office, while the business and laboring classes aie left to go to the dogs. Neal Yarbrough’s pardon, which has been expected for several days came to hand yesterday. It was signed by the President on the re commendation of Hon. Emory Speer and Judge 11. J. McCay. As soon as the pardon was received yesterday morning Sir. Speer, accompanied by his little daughter, went to St. Joseph’s Infirmary for the purpose of delivering it to the unfortunate man. The sweet little girl, full well com prehending the import of the paper, had the pleasure of placing it into Yarbrough’s hands, and as she did so his eyes filled with tears, expressive of his deep gratitude, l'he Sisters were also grateful, and the scene was quite impressive. Mr. Yarbrough is entitled to a suit of clothes and five dollars in cash, and will leave for his home, in Banks county, to night.— Atlanta Journal. We call attention to the citizens of Chicago to the fact that about the Bth of July, Georgia will seud up about twenty four representative gentlemen to tire democratic convention. As there are no revenue pimps or negroes among them, you need not be as care ful as you were at the last “appint ment.” Any little thing left lying around loose will not be molested.— Milton Democrat. We simply clip the above as a specimen of W. A. Porter’s style of J journalism. THE RECENT FAILURES. New York,*July 2.—-The failures for the” six months ending Julyl, 1884, are reported by R. G. Dun & Cos. to number 5,510, as compared with 4,637 in the first six months of 1883, an increase of 873 about <lB percent. The liabilities for the first half of 1884 foot up to the enormous sum of $124,000,000 as compared with $66,000,000, in the period of 1883, or nearly double. The great growth of liabilities is directly traceable to the recent panic, which has mainly centered in New York city. This conclusion is illustrated by the fact that the liabilities in the past three months, of parties who have failed in New York, comprises more than half of those noted in all the failures of the entire United States in that period. That the fail ures which have occurred are largely confined to speculative quarters, is shown by the fact that the average indebtedness if parties failing in the last six months is $38,000 for each failure, as compared with but SIB,OOO in the similar periods of ISB3. A higher average amount of liabilities has been reached in the last six months than ever before. The agency claim that the legitimate business ol the country suffers no serious result from these failures, that the condition of preparedness for a panic had been reached, and that the balance of the year may witness a fairly profitable demand for merchandise, with results satisfactory. The effort of the Constitution and a few prominent citizens of Atlanta to whitewash John H. James and his bank swindle, is no credit to them nor benefit to the city. The magni tude of the fraud cannot be sup pressed nor the Calamity to hundreds of citizens averted. Any amount of salving over will not buy bread, pay debts or liquidate the house rents of the victims. Belter to tell the truth and meet the results of the disaster without lingering pain. Most sensi ble people, when they are obliged to go, would rather die in a minute than linger for a month, and then “kick the bucket” at last. JOHN L. ASISURY, A *3?
