THE EAGLE.
Friday Morning, February 11, 187 ft.
Hon. B. H. Hill voted for the bill
appropriating one million five hundred
thousand dollars out of the public
treasury to the centennial show. Every
other Georgia member voted against
the measure.
At Indianapolis on Wednesday sen
tence was passed by Judge Gresham,
of the United States Court, upon a
batch of whisky-ringsters, who wore
given terms of imprisonment ranging
from three years down to sis mojiths,
with fines similarly graded.
Sam Cox and Gen. Hanks are daily
receiving large orders for their speeches
on amnesty by the Democratic Execu
tive Committees of the several States,
to be used as campaign documents.
Why don’t somebody order a few of
Ben Hill’s to scatter in the loyal settle
ments ?
We are delightod to bo assured by
the New York Graphic that every
thing points to an early revival of
trade. Prosperity is about to smile
upon the land. No particular reason
is given for this faith. It is possible
that we have reached ‘a si did basis’
without knowing it.
Hon. It. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia,
has written a very able and powerful
ly-reasoned letter to the Hon. L. (J. C.
Lamar, chairman of the House Com
mittee on the Pacific Railroad, urging
the extension of Government aid to
complete the Texas and Pacific rail
road, and discussing the constitu
tional power in a very satisfactory
manner.
David A. Wells, Robert A. Smith
and William D. Dunn, Trustees ap
pointed by the United States Circuit
Court at Mobile, took possession of
the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad
on Wednesday last, and the Times
says it is understood that the now
owners of the road will expend quite
an amount in making repairs and in
providing additional facilities for bus
iness on the road.
The first newspaper, says Figaro,
which appeared in England, was pub
lished at the time of the threatened
Spanish invasion in 1583. It was issu
ed by the government for the reason,
as stated, ‘that the publication is the
surest means of making the truth
known to the people, and of contend
ing against the sin of lying and exag
gerations of calumny.’ The oldest
number of this journal extant is No.
GO, July 20, 1588, now in the British
Museum.
Mr. Sidney Lanier, a young South
ern poet, whose contributions to some
of the magazines have recently attract
ed a great deal of notice, has been ap- i
pointed to write the text of a cantata
for the opening of the centennial, and
Mr. Dudley Buck is to compose th<B
music. The New York Tribune com
mends these selections, and says the
now ora of will be fitly
symbolized by this union of North
and South in the song of celebration.
Charles Francis Adams, Jun., has
made a series of investigations and
compiled statistics showing that only
one railroad messenger in 9,000,000 is
killed, and only one to 1,500,000, is
even .so much as bruised. In 1874
only one person was killed on all the
Massachusetts railroads,whilo seventy
six wore killed by accident in the city
of Boston. In fact, it seems to be con
siderably safer to sit on a safety-valve
or ride on a cow-catcher than to stay
at home in your own houso.
Prof. Little gives some interesting
facts relative to the physical features
of our State. He says: We find every
degree of elevation, from 4,811 feet
in Mount Enota down to the sea level.
The streams vary from the mountain
torrents, leaping over precipices of
more than ICO foot at a single fall to
the sluggish rivers of the low country.
Vegetation ranges from the white pine
of Now England to the palmetto, or
ange and banana of the tropics.
Every fruit and cereal and textile
fibre useful to man, can be cultivated
in one portion or another of the State.
Every variety of climate is afforded. *
A petition has been presented to
the United States Senate by Mr. Sar
gent, praying for the granting to wo
men the right to vote in the District
of Columbia. The Baltimore Sun re
marks: Washington sue ms to be a
favorite field for trying experiments in
suffrage. Congress lirst tried therein
‘universal’ negro suffrage, and finally
not only put an end to it, but deprived
white men of the privilege also. Let
them now see whether they will come
out with women any better than with
the colored population.
That the President is to testify in
favor of Babcock on the trial at St.
Louis this week, is confirmed by Mr.
Emery A. Storrs, of Babcock’s counsel,
‘(fen. Grant will be a very important,
witness to us,’ said Mr. Storrs to a re
porter of the Herald. ‘We don't want
the President to stay here during the
trial in order to watch its progress,
but shall simply call him to give his
testimony, and, after having done so,
he will at once return to Washington.
Wo thought at one time that we should
use his deposition, but there is no
magnetism in a deposition.’ It is the
personal influence of Gen. Grant and
the official influence of the President
that Mr. Storrs expects to use in be
half of the indicted military secretary.

The Gainesville and Ulairsvilie Turnpike,
On Tuesday last the corporators of
the above named company met in At
lanta and organized. It was resolved
to open books of subscription along
the line at once to ascertain whether
or not sufficient money can be raised
to do the contemplated work. When
it is taken into consideration that con
victs can be had to do tho work, it
does seem that the necessary funds
could be obtained in a month or so to
authorize the work to commence in
May. We hope our people will go ac
tively to work, and that every one will
subscribe liberally to the project. The
people of White, Union and Towns, all
desire to do their trading at Gainos
villo; but if Gainesville expects to re
tain their trade, some assistance must
be given in tho way of facilitating then
getting to market. It is worth a load
of corn now to transport it from Blairs
villo to Gainesville. With a turnpike,
more than half tho cost of transporta
tion could be saved, and besides the
poople of the up-country would be
bonefitted by it in the additional mail
facilities.
The corporators organized by elect
ing Maj. F. Logan, president, and A.
1). Candler, secretary. Tho following
agents were appointed to open books
and solicit subscriptions of stock:
For Hall county—J. E. Red wine and
A. J. Comer.
White county—Maj. F. Logan and
W. K. Williams.
Union county —T. J. Haralson and
S. Fain.
These agents are authorized to re
ceive subscriptions of stock in shares
of fifty dollars, or in fractions of that
sum. It is expected that the agents
will enter upon the discharge of their
duties at once, and we do most earn
estly appeal to every one interested to
come forward without delay with lib
eral subscriptions. As soon as a suffi
cient amount of stock is seenred a
meeting of the stockholders will he
called, and a permanent organization
effected. It, is exceedingly important
that no time be lost. It is proposed
to do the work with convict labor.
Gov. Smith has agreed to turn over to
the company fifty, or as many convicts
as may be wanted, but he must have
notice at an early day of the number
that will be taken. This notice the
comporators cannot give until enough
stock is subscribed to assure them that
the means will be at hand to feed and
guard the convicts.
If our people will now but look to
their interest and discharge a plain
duty, this main road, with branches to
Nacoocliee, Dahlonega, Dawsonville
° *
and Amacalola, can be constructed at
a nominal cost, which will pay tho
whole country much better than the
same amount of money spent in any
other way. We must have gqod roads
and good bridges.
Constitutional Convention.
I
It is now pretty certain that the
Senate will reinstate the provision in
the bill which passed the House, pro
viding for the question to he submitted
to the people, whether or not they de
sire to hold a Convention.
This is right. It ought not to have
been stricken out. The people are the
rulers of this country, and no matter
involving such issues as are involved
in this question ought to be withheld
from them.
But we are sorry that the whole
question is likely to be a failure.
Politicians and office-seekers are afraid
of their chances for future preferment.
Wo are led to doubt whether or not
the convention should he held now.
The reason of our doubt is, that the
politicians are likely to be the delegates
to it, and if they should be, they could
hardly be expected to speak or act
independently so long as any hope of
office is hold out to them. And it is
doubtful whether or not any good
would result from a convention.
It is lainentablo when j public opin
ion has to ho hampered by the greed
for public office. When will it he bet
ter—“ Will it bo the next week or the
noxt year ? Will it be when our ene
mies have bound us hand and foot V”
“Shall we gather strength by inac
tivity ?” Let the thinking men of the
State answer these questions. It is
conceded that three-fourths of the peo
ple want a convention, but there is a
disposition to throttle the people, for
the sake of jxililicians.
The day will come when this ques
tion will be passed upon by the honest
masses, and then woe to the trembling,
quaking politician who would dare de
ny the right of the people to have and
express their choice.
An editorial appeared in the Atlanta
Herald on Sunday morning last, which
has called forth the appointment of a
committee to investigate a charge that
is just now going the rounds, to the
effect that the lessees of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, used $70,000 in
the Legislature of 1871, to procure a
confirmation of their said lease. We
are glad the committee has been ap
pointed and that a thorough investiga
tion of the facts may be bad. Many
good men voted for the lease, and if
any bad ones were paid for their votes
the fact ought to be uuveiled, and the
world notified who they are.
We understand that the ‘prohibition
whisky bill’ to effect Carnesville, now
before the House of Representatives,
will probably be substituted by a bill
under the local option law system.
This will submit the question to the
legal voters of the described limits.—
North Georgia Herald.
Editorial Correspondence.
Atlanta, Ga., February 9, 1870.
Dear Eagle: The past week has been
somewhat notable hereabouts. Last
Thursday, Senator McAfee, of the 32d
district, (Dahlonega) introduced a bill
in the Senate to cut the counties of
Clarke and Oeoneo off the Ninth Con
gressional district, and add to the dis
trict Cherokee and Milton. Tho bill
created quite a flutter, and it was im
mediately charged the measure was
the work of the enemies of Hon. B. H.
Hill. A little investigation, however,
satisfied them that this was a mistake,
for Mr. McAfee was himself a strong
supporter of Mr. Hill. Tho people of
the eighth oppose the addition of
Clarke and Oconee to their territory,
upon the ground that they are not
wanting an “elephant” just at this
time, and the people of Cherokee and
Milton oppose being cut off to the 9th,
becauso they do not propose to place
themselves in the wake of any larger
animal than they have been used to.
These objections will doubtless settle
the fate of the bill for the present.
THE HERALD.
This sprightly paper has been levied
upon to satisfy sundry fi fas against it,
and I am informed it will be compelled
to go to sale. The paper has been
struggling against adversity from its
foundation, and Messrs. Alston &
Grady deserve much credit for the
vigorous fight they have made under
all sorts of circumstances to “keep the
wolf from the door.” The “good will”
of the Herald is included in the levy,
but I cannot see how that is to be dis
posed of without the consent of the
present proprietors. Anew lot of
presses, material, etc., has been order
ed, and the day the Herald suspends,
the Morning Telegram will be flung to
the breeze, and will bo apt to carry
with it the brains, patronage, pluck
and vim of the old Herald, tho levy
and sale of the sheriff to the contrary
i lotwi t.hs tandi ng.
“those $70,000.”
A committee has been appointed (o
investigate the charge against Gov.
Brown of using seventy thousand dol
lars to bribe the Legislature of 1871
into the support of the lease of the
Western and Atlantic Kail road. If
one dollar or one cent was so used, I
hope it will be successfully tracked
into the pocket of the perjured villain
who sold his vote for “filthy lucre.” 11,
is due the honest men who served in
that body, that this investigation
should boa searching one, and the
odium, if any attaches, placed where
it properly belongs.
The corporators of the Gainesville
and Blairsville Turnpike Company or
ganized hero on TuesJey, and are hope
ful of being able to go to vvoi'lc at an
early day. They have the promise of
fifty convicts to do tlje work, and cer-~
tainly money enough can be obtained
from the citizens of Gainesville and
the people along the road to build it.
Ben Hill has written a letter to Hon.
H. H. Carlton, urging State aid to the
Marietta and North Georgia Railroad
Company, to enable that company to
complete their road, and thereby open
up to the world another important and
rich portion of North Georgia. Wo are
opposed to the indiscrimate granting
of State aid to every little clap-trap
project, but we have no objection to
this measure, if properly guarded.
The increase of taxable property along
the Air-Lino has clearly demonstrated
tlio fact that it pays to build railroads
through North Georgia, or where they
can be made important links in the
grand railroad net-work of the coun
try, as this one would certainly he.
The gubernatorial agitators and the
outside workers in the treasury mud
dle have been more quiet during the
weok past.
The Legislature is beginning to hold
two sessions daily, and will probably
continue to do so until the end of the
session.
I will try and keep the readers of
the Eagle posted in regard to all bills
of general importance, as they become
laws. M. V. E.
Jeff Davis writes a letter to Judge
Lyons, of Richmond, Virginia, which is
published in the New York Herald of
the 7th inst., in which he defends him -
self against the charges made by Mr.
Blaine; and recites the leading faets,
showing the strenuous efforts of the
(Jon federates to bring about an ex
change of prisoners. He says: “To
the bold allegations of ill-treatment of
prisoners by our side and humane treat
ment and adequate supplies by our op
ponents, it. is only necessary to offer
two facts. First, it appears from the
reports of the United States war de
partment that, though we had 60,000
more federal prisoners than they had
of confederates, 0,000 more of confed
erates died in the Northern prisons.
Second, the want and suffering of men
in Northern prisons caused me to ask
for permission to send out cotton and
buy supplies for them. The request
was granted, but only on condition
that the cotton should be sent to New
York and the supplies be bought there.
Gen. Beale, now of St. Louis, was au
thorized to purchase and distribute
the needful supplies. Our sympathy
rose wit.b the occasion and responded
to its demands, not waiting for ten
years, then to vaunt itself when it
could serve no good purpose to the
sufferers.”
Dr. Morgan Dix gets £15,000 a year,
which is the largest salary paid to a
Protestant clergyman in New York
City. Drs. Chapin and John Hall
get SIO,OOO each, which is jwhat Dr.
Storrs and Dr. Budington receive.
Special Correspondence of the Eagle. J
Washington, D. C., February 5.1
The radicals are beginning to reali?
tho danger ahead. M. E. Smith, tv
ex-Indian commissioner, had, ‘like
Arabs, quietly folded his tent,’ W
was ‘preparing to steal away,’ on
pretence of visiting Liberia, but py
Indian committee ‘wanted him,’4
they wero so afraid that Smith mill
not want to be seen, that an
sergoant-at-arms has kept him cjtt;
pany. The charges against Smit’Bq
almost innumerable and involve *.
higher than himself. This is onlya'C
of fourteen investigations now bcsg
conducted by committees of the H<i
and at every stop such corruption aid
rottenness are developed, that wfcn
the authors are shown up, as they yill
be, before the people this summer,tlay
will be repudiated as promptly as ae
eleven repudiated Judas when ho >o
trayed his Master. These mon h've
been betraying their masters —he
people—have been robbing them in We
name and undor the guise of patrot
ism, and now their sins will find tlem
out aud tho anathema maranatli of
an outraged people will consign tjeni
to oblivion and contempt or the p ni
teutiaries.
DEMOCRATIC WORK>
It is folly for the democrats of the
country or of Congress to bo seoJing
‘a policy,’ on finance or anything [4se.
The radicals in the last eight .wars
have made a policy for them. lyry
thing prior to 1858 should be p issed
by, and tho acts of Grant’s admiu i'tra
tion, and of the Congresses dur- >*: it,
should lie shown up. These f*ake
policies enough, and all the wufk of
tho democrats, both in and ovj of
Congress, should be centered or ihese
objects, and to crush out the af/*tiou
of any leader, who, to advance ]js in
terests, would divert attention Jrom
this work to the finances or anyl'tber
question. Neither Governor Tijleu’s
hard money nor Mr. Pendleton’* soft
money ideas should be considered of
the slightest importance, nor rkould
their friends be permitted to inject
them into the canvass, and thereby
endanger success in the election;' this
year. .
CONGRESS IS THE BATTLE-ITELI
whore the presidential election ij to be
fought, and the democratic filers
in the House will be recreant t their
highest duties,if they permit an; ssues
introduced there that might ' lakon
the party. There are divert' ,es of
opinion between the democrats on the
money question, but the men
side should be made to undeptaud
that these differences cannot betmtio
duced into tho canvass. The Caucus
which met on Tuesday night wa*called
partly to secure that result, andfei eqm
mittee was appointed, called ‘tfJjf *
Committee,’ whoso <l*s 1
made ternrap-eafc-tho-woHr'frwry?
sion. This committee is a goon one,
as the following list of names
show:
Messrs. Oox. (chairman,) Whit
throne, Randall, Goode, Buckner,Wig
ginton, Ilartridge, Blackburn, liirbox,
Lynde, Eden, Payne, aud Caldwffl.
The interests of the party ijiay be
safely trusted to such a body of cool,
clear-headed men.
THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. '
As this is the political -center, the
democrats have taken a lesson in or
ganization from the radicals, and have
appointed a campaign committee to
remain hero during the entire cam
paign, and have general direction of
it. This is a wise movement, and Mr.
Lamar, chairman of the caucus, dis
played great skill in selecting its mem
bers, who are as follows:
Messrs. Clymer, (chairman,) Sena
tors Whyte, Wallace, and Gordon; Re
presentatives Chapin, Throckmorton,
Hooker, Hewitt, Robbins, and Sayler.
'District of Columbia, W. W. Corcoran,
J. W. Haney,and Charles Mason. From
this center the committee can direct
the campaign, and utilize all the forces
of the party.
TAXATION.
Mr. Morrison has anew tariff bill
that will be introduced soon. It makes
many vital changes—changes that
have been demanded for years in the in
terests of the people, but have been
denied for the benefit of the manufac
turers. When the tax on tea and cof
fee was removed the republicans de
clared it a measure for the benefit of
the poor, and ‘gushed’ over ‘the free
breakfast table’ they had provided for
every family, when, in truth, every ar
ticle on the table, and the very wood
of which it was made, was taxed, at
from Ibe rate of forty to one hundred
and twenty per cent., for the benefit of
the few at the cost of the many. The
new tariff will be adjusted so as to pro
duce the greatest amount of revenue
with the least possible cost to the peo
ple; and as neither tea nor coffee are
grown in the country they will be tax
ed to produce revenue, while the other
articles will be free from taxation, and
correspondingly reduced in cost The
poor man will thus have as nearly ‘a
free breakfast table,’ as the enormous
debt fixed on-the country by radical
misrule will permit. Mr. Morrison al
so proposes to levy a tax on all incomes
over $2,500, which is another excellent
move.
THE FRANK [NO PRIVILEGE.
It is proposed to re-establish the
franking privilege and the measure
meets with approval from many of the
host men of both political parties.
That there will boa change in the law
requiring the department to purchase
stamps is certain, and it is probable
that the franking privilege, modified
and with proper guards thrown round
it, will be revived. j
HOW' LONG?
The proposed change in the tenure
of the President’s office was discussed
on Tuesday; the report of the majority
of the Judiciary Committee was in fa
vor of one term, of four years; Mr.
Frye of Maine wants one term of six
years, and the feeling is general that
an amendment to the Constitution
should be adopted, preventing re-olec
tious, and thus stopping tho use of tho
) presidential patronago to secure De
nomination.
Speaker Kerr’s letter endorsing Gov
ernor Hendricks for the presidency
has creatod a great deal of comment,
favorable and unfavorable. By some
it is regarded as a piece of splendid
political strategy to silonco the disputes
between the hard and soft money mon,
and as well calculated to allay tho dis
cussion of that subject. At any rate
it makes Hendricks more prominent
than ever. The friends of Tilden
complain of the letter. Dem.
Washington, D. C., February 7.
The amnesty quarrel is over; the hot
headed mornbers are cooling off, and
things generally begin to take a quieter
turn in legislative circles. Retrench
ment and reform is the order of the
day, aud a good beginning has been
made by the reduction of the salaries
of the officers and students of the Mili
tary Academy at West Point. The out
lay of money in tho several departments
is to bo reduced as much as possible'
and the salaried servants will probably
bo “nipped 10 per cent.” The work of
investigation has also begun, and tho
District of Columbia frauds are now
receiving the attention of the too in
quisitive democracy.
Those who love tho rare and racy
were regaled by the performances of
the Woman’s BightsUon volition, which
was held in this city on the 27th ult.
The writer has always had a desire to
hear a woman “get up and make a
speech,” so with high, expectations of
an enjoyable evening among the hens of
the Woman’s Rights crowd, he stepped
up to the door of the convention hall,
on F street, and plead that as lie was a
correspondent, and as the currency
question was still at issue, he should
be admitted gratis. One of the liens,
however, from a small hole in the side
of tho wall, which served as a ticket
office, loudly protested, and your cor
respondent was forced to lose his hand
for a few moments in tho effort to draw
from the intricacies of a very “baggy”
and empty pocket the sum of 25 cents.
It was extracted at last da profundi*,
and in we went. The hall was already
well nigh filled, and before the pi’o
ceedings began was literally crowded
with men, women and—women; a ma
jority of them probably sympathizers
with the object of tho meeting. The
first selection from the programme was
the reading of the resolutions and peti
tions, asking various favors of Congress
for the furtherance of their designs.
This was done by the secretary of the
meeting, a regular four-story, lank,
cadaverous looking lady (?) wit.li a
n dress and a man’s hat, with a
fenjtier in it. The presi-
dent of the convention, Miss Gage,
who is a large, square built, masculine
looking lady, then rose and in a shrill,
squeaky voico, addressed the meeting
at length—touching upon the constitu
tional points involved in the caso, at
tacking ono of the decisions of Cltief
Justice Waite, and going for every
thing and everybody in a general sort
of way. She seemed to bo filled with
indignation about her sex’s supposod
or real wrongs, and her whole speech
was one continuous tirade against her
oppressors. She sat down amidst great
applause. Aftor a few moments con
sultation she rose again, and said that
she had the honor of introducing to the
audience the Rov. Belvia Lockwood,
who would address them. This lady
then road the ‘protest’ in a loud voico,
and having finished made a few re
marks supplementary. She said that
she had not long since mot a minister,
who expressed it as his opinion that
women would better employ their time
by preaching the Gospol, practicing
medicine and law, than by engaging
their spare time in flirting, intriguing
and other “intellectual entertainment.”
[Applause.] When a school girl, she
had asked her teacher could she over
aspire to the ministry. He smiled a
cynic smile and replied that “there
was only ono duty for woman, and
that was a pair of children.” [This
brought down the house. ] Givo wo
men college educations and every ad-
vantage that men enjoy, and she would
show you a creature at whom men
would wonder and Angols be proud to
look down upon. [Applause ] She
here seemed to gather her whole
strength, and ended with the crowing
and emphatic assertion that “it hath
been said of old that the noblest work
of God is an honest man; but I tell you
that the noblest work of God is not an
honest man, but a— woman..
Miss Lockwood was fallowed by Dr.
Antoinette Brown, in a few remarks,
and she in turn gave way to Fred.
Douglass, the notorious negro orator,
who was reserved for the last, and was
evidently the “big gun” of the occa
sion. His remarks are not worthy of
much attention. He said in the course
of his speech that he had left five and
thirty years of his life behind him in
the earnest contest for one human
right, etc.; and then came a desserta
tion on slavery, which he applied by
saying that as the government of the
United States had disenfranchised the
negro, its remaining duty was clearly
to disenfranchise women, etc., etc.
Douglass is probably the best speaker
of his race, but he cannot lire-up upon
any subject except his ohl hobby—
slavery. Two or three colored women
were present, and seated in the semi
circle of hens upon the stage. None
of these, however, “cackled,” and the
noise was confined altogether to the
white pullets. So endeth our first ex
perience with the Woman’s llighters.
May thoy rest in poace—or what is
probably a more portinont prayer—
may they lot othor folks rest in peaco !
Morton has not yet finished his
Southern outrage bloody-shirt tirade,
and will resume after the disposition
of the centennial bill. A veto upon
this question will soon bo taken in the
Senate.
The indications are that Pinchback
will bo seated in spite of all that can
be done, although the most strenuous
efforts have been and will bo made to
keep him out. Yours, “News,”
Tho New York Sun suggests that if
Postmaster-General Jewell will only
aid in unearthing the notorious cor
ruptions and abuses in tho post-olllco
department he may “stand a good
chance (and receiving tho nomination
for President on tho ground of his
being a first-class reformer.” Wo liopo
this suggestion will bo heeded by Mr.
Jewell. There is Mr. Bristow. Ho has
been rendering tho country a service
whilo making himself a reform can
didate for the Presidency. We hope
that several other gentlemen will take
a similar method of becoming promi
nent as presidential candidates. There
is a wide field. Somebody might bring
himself out as a candidate by uncover
ing the uavy ring. Then there are the
army ring, aud tho Indian ring, and
tho land ring, and the Strawbid ring,
and tho Washington ring, and the
treasury ring, and the El Paso ring,
and the rest, each one of which pre
sents an opportunity for some republi
can to bring himself out as a candidate
for tho presidency, which, we hope,
will not bo neglected. When six or
eight, gentlemen shall Lave fairly
brought themselves out as republican
candidates in this manner, the people
of tho country will conclude to elect a
democratic president.
