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. New York Sun. 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. The Male College at Forsyth, Ga., was entirely destroyed by fire on Fri day night last,. Cause unknown. It was a substantial building, costing near ten thousand dollars, and will be a great loss to Forsyth.
