without another Democratic paper.
Col. Nichols will open New Holland
Springs at an early day.
The Atlanta Times was draped in
mourning on memorial day.
Spring clothing and dry goods are
in demand despite the hard times.
Wednesday, 26t.h inst, was memo
rial day. It was observed tdl over the
South.
Some of the newspapers are making
as much fuss over A. T. Stewart’s will,
as if they were legatees of the estat .
Some of our State exchanges are
making very pertiuent inquiries about
Foster Blodgett’s recent v sit to At
lanta.
The Congressional investigations in
Washington are bringing to light many
things connected with Southei n recon
struction, that have heretofore been
bidden.
The nomination of Col. H I*. Far
row as United States District Attorney
for Georgia, which hung fire so long,
was confirmed by the Senate one day
last week.
Hon. B. H. Hill and ‘-Girins,” the
Washington correspondent of the Sa
vannah News, are having a little -’tus
sle” over the pardon of Urn North
Georgia revenue prisoners.
That rumor about Bob Toombs be
ing required to take the test, oath to
enable him to practice in the Supreme
Court of the Uuited States, all turns
out to be a hoax. Just as we expected.
Those who think advertising does not
pay, can appreciate Enoch Ardens’
lonely condition while occupying an
uninhabited island, when occasionally
he would frantically cry out: ‘'No sad
from day to day.”
In the general melee attending the
piling away of Presidential timber, Mr.
Blaine lia- received a black eye at the
hands of Mr. J. C. IL unison, of lu
dianapolis, and has ‘closed for repairs’
for the present.
Gross carelessness in the mailing de
partment of the Atlanta Times pre
vents us from getting it more than
once a week. We should be very much
pleased to get the paper regularly by
the day-freight on the Air Line.
A Southwest Georgia exchange has
n stor- that a little negro was recently
gobbled up by an alligator, and taken
alive from the reptile's stomach the
next day. We can’t swadow the alle
gation that the alligator swallowed
the nigger.
Tile house bill iu regard to pensions
for the war of 1812 has b en materi
ally changed by the senate committee.
Pensioners must have served for four
teen days and been in a tight, and
widows of veterans must have married
before the war ended, and not been
married since.
A hundred y earn ago they kissed a
lady’s band; now you lass her lips
that is, of course, if you happen to be
behind the wood, and nobody is look

her. It may take a hundred rears t<>
get from her hand to her mouth, but
we nevor felt that the time was mis
spent.
A swindler advertised in th Boston
newspapers that he had money to loan
on b >nd and mortgage, and inform, and
applicants that they must deposit a
sum to pay for searching the title of
their property. He secured a large
amount of money in sums ranging
from five to twenty dollars, and then
tied.
When the motion was made to call
Mrs. Belknap before the committee,
one of the members significantly asked :
‘Have any of you ever beard her when
she gets a fair start?’ The mover
quickly arose with a very startled e.v
pression, stammered frightfully in an
effort to say something, and finally
withdrew the m >t,ion.
Grant declares tlmt he will not fa
vor any candidate for nomination’
either by word, died or intimation,
again and any other republican candi
date. He has ceased to favor himself.
It got through his hair in some way
that he was about the only supporter
that he had, and be did not like lire
idea of going it alone.
It is reported that Senator Thnnnai
thinks the St. Louis nomination Cut
the Presidency lies betweeu him, Sen
ator Bayard, and General Hancock.
Count the last out, Senator. Genera
Hancock honors the shoulder strain
and knows just where they belong;
but we must have' for the next Presi
dent some other than a man on horse
back.
The Democrats of Indiana have
nominated the Hon. James Williams
for Governor. “Old Bine Jeans," as
he is familiarly called, is at present a
member of Congress from that State,
and is a marked figure in that body,
from the fact that he dresses in a suit
of plain country jeans. He is a farmer
and a granger, and the Republicans
even concede that he is capable and
honest. The Democrats are entbusi
a tic over Mr. Williams’ nomination,
ami claim that they will sweep the
State by 20,000 majority.
Progress of the Canvass.
Since the withdrawal of Gov. Smith
from the Gubernatorial canvass, we
have been asked repeatedly by friends
our opinion of the chances of the three
loading candidates still in the field, to
wif: Colquitt, Hardeman and James.
Before answering the question, we
have taken some pains to investigate
the matter in order to give an answer
that would not be calculated to mis
lead those who have confidence iu our
judgment.
We have recently seen men from
different portions of the State, and
have letters from quite a number we
have not seen, and from all we can
gather, we believe Gen. A. H. Colquitt
has decidedly the “inside track.”
He is certainly as well qualified for
the position as any man iifGeorgia,
and is probably the most available
man’ in tire State. He is tho descen
dant of an illustrious sire, whom the
people of Georgia long loved and
honored. Ho is a Christian gentle
man, with a spotless record, and
though not a hitter partizan, has al
ways acted with and labored for the
Democratic party.
His record as a soldier iu the late
war was quite as prominent as that of
other Georgians. He did his duty
nobly, and on many bloody fields ex
hibited that degree of courage which
is so admirable and indeed necessary
in the gentleman and statesman in all
the walks of life, and especially those
who are called to preside over the
destinies of the people us their Chief
Magistrate.
There is among the agrioultqral peo ;
[ile of Georgia an enthusiastic “ground
swell” in favor of Colquitt, and if he is
nominated he will be elected by an
overwhelming majority.

For Mrs. Colquitt.
Iu 1864, duribg (.lie siege of 'Peters
burg, rutious wore very scarce among
tho Confederates, apt! many were the
adventures of the hoys iu ootireh of
.something to eat,. One day private
J. Yv r . Heed, of company “D,” 27th
Georgia, ventured out without ft pass,
and soon succeeded in getliug a few
e rs of green corn, and was on his
way buck to camp with his mouth
fairly watering over a prospective pot
"f soup for himself aud mess. But in
making his way through the city he
was “captured” by a provost guard,
and having ia his possession a lot of
“contraband” lations, he was parried
to the headquarters of his brigade
commander (General Colquitt) to be
punished. Geu. 0. was absent, but
his noble wife waa present, and private
Bee 1 was ushered into her presence,
Mrs Colquitt inquired into the matter,
mil wis so much pleased with Reed’s
frankness iu telling about how he
evaded the guard and how he got the
corn, that she soon became enlisted iu
nis behalf, and deffu lpined to save him
ids corn and prevent his being pun
ishi-d, too, if in her power. Ho she
gave him a pass that ran übuut as
folio We:
“Pass Private J. W. Reed, company
D, 27tli Georgia Regiment, to his
command.
(Signed) Mrs. A. H. Colquitt.”
Reed got to his command without
inch station, and survived the war by
the “skin of his teeth.” He lives now
ia Hall county, and is openly iu favor
of MRS. Colquitt for Governor; but
as ladies are not allowed to hold office
he is lor Mrs. Colquitt’s choice, and
will do all in his power for her hus
band, because she saved his corn aud
also his “bacon,” when he was not iu a
condition to take care of either.
Tim Convention.
’t he Convention here on the 26 h
inst. was well attended by leading men
from nearly all portions of the Ninth
Congressional District. The work be
fore the body was accomplished in a
few hours, and we have no doubt it
will give entire satisfaction to the De
mocracy throughout the District. The
gentlemen selected to represent the
District, and also th se recommended
for representatives from the State at
large, are able, true and tried Demo
crats—capable of reflecting credit ou
any constituency. The proceedings of
tho Convention may be found iu an
other column.
The Turnpike.
The City Council at its last meeting
appointed a delegation to attend the
meeting of the corporators and friends
of the Gainesville, Blairsville and North
Western Turnpike Company, to bo held
at Cleveland on Tuesday next. We are
pleased to note that our people are he
coming aroused on the subject, and
notwithstanding the stringency of the
times will put their should, r* to the
wheel in earnest. Now lot. all the
ftiends of the road make one vigoious
j effort, and the work will go forward,
i We know whereof wo speak, when we
! say tl a: n is vitally important t .at
: definite action be taken at once.
We ask our friends in every neigh
borhood, and especially at every post
office where the Eagle is taken in
Georgia, to give us tho sentiments of
the people on the Gubernatorial ques
tion. Write us a letter, or send a
postal card stating the facts.
We call attention to the advertise
ment in this issue of the Georgia Di
rectory. Agl ance at its contents will
satisfy all that it will be a book needed
by all business and professional men.
The publishers have been in the direc
tory business for years, and fully un
derstand it, ami will no doubt carry
out all their promises. i
Special Correspondence of the Eagl .
Washington, April 22, 1876.
But little has been done in the way
of legislation this week; in fact noth
ing except some private bills and the
law transferring the Indian Bureau
from the Int rior to the War Depart
ment. A vote was reached on this
measure on Friday, after a long de
bate, and the bill passed by 130 to 04.
Should it become a law, it is estimated
that at least ton million dollars will
be saved each year to the government.
It provides that army officers shall be
detailed on lull pay to act as Indian
agents, aDd makes many other changes,
which not only protect the Indians
from imposition, but the government
from being swindled. It is doubtful
whether the Senate will pass the bill,
and even if it should, it is still more
doubtful whether the President would
sign it, as it destroys uis ‘lndian peace
policy.’ The churches which have had
the appointment of the agent, will
make a vigorous tight, both in the
Senate aud with the President, to p:e
veut the change being made, as they
would lose their patronage by it, and
they care very little for the decreased
expense, if it deprives them of power.
The Kilbourn case has not yet been
decided; the lawyers have been argu
ing it since Tuesday last, and will not
pfqbably finish until the 25th, when
Judge Carter ujay talm soiqe time to
make up his mind, though from indi
cations given from the bench, he has
already a well deliuod opinion, that
Kilbourn should be discharged, oy
the House aud held >u answer to th
indictment. Should this bo his view
of fcQorse fty \yjj} order the discharge,
and the singular spectacle vyiii then ho
seen of a subordinate court sotting
aside the will of the duly elected re
presentatives of the people. Such an
order, if sustained aud submit: oil to
by the II use, will effectually prevent
any further investigations, as no wit
ness could be forced to auswor, if ho
has the right to decide what questions
a?:n proper aud come within the pur
view of the eoiqiqittees power. The
Constitution gives Congress the pqtyer
directs that it shall Constitute
pourts of yapied pqvyprs and jurisdic
tion. The committees are made
courts or commis honors for the pur
pose of taking testimony to be report
ed to the House. Every suckling law
yer knows that when a witness is being
examined before a court, and ob
jection is made to answering a ques
tion pqt, that the (join-/, decides as to
the propriety of the question and di
rects the witness to answer or not as
it may determine. This rule is abso
lute, except, where the witness declines
to answer on the ground that he would
criminate himself, then the court oau
uot compel au answer, Tim House
has the remedy iu its own hands,
should Judge Carter attempt tu muz
zle it in this way, and that is to re
arrest Kilbourn if be is discharged
gud impeach and suspend Carter.
The argument ill the Belknap case
commences on Wednesday, the Sftth
inst. The House managers feel very
oontident that the plea that Belknap
was not au official when impeached
would be overruled, but they will sub
mit proof that he was at the time of
his impe achment actually Secretary o
War. Belknap handed in his resigna
tion on the morning of the 2ud of
March, and was impeached that even
ing. But ip settling his accounts lie
drew pay for the second day of March,
aud was without dispute secretary of
war iu the morning, as the law does
not recognise parts of days, it is claim
ed that his resignation did not cause
him to cease to he secretary until the
close of the day, in which event his
plea is false. Witnesses have been
summoned to he iu attendance on
Thursday, though it is not probable
in any event that they can be examin
ed before the succeeding week.
In the whiskey ring trials, and in
many of the investigations, particular
ly those iu regard to the sale of post
tradership the smell of corruption was
brought uncomfortably near to Fas;
dent Grant, His brother, his confiden
tial secretary and many of his iulim.iiu
associates, have been proven guilty of
practices for which some of them are
uow iu the penitentiary and others are
barred by all decent people. But the
committee on expenditures iu the de
partment of justice have found that
veu the President., whom all hoped
for the honor of the nation, would not
he found participating in the corrup
tion by which he was surrounded, lias
been guilty of using the public fund
for the purpose of securing his own
election. Ex-attorney general Wil
liams testified b f ire the commit e<
that he paid the notorious ,J mini,
Daveuport,’Snipervisor of el,r.umis, in
New York city, $35,000 by the duvo!
order of President Grant.. This in me\
came from the secret service fund, and
was most of it given to Davenport, ju I
prior to the election in 1872, and was
used to corrupt some votes in New
York, aud to intimidate others. It will
be remembered that Davenport, just
prior to tue election, armed large num
bers of roughs and placed thorn at the
various polling places, to drive off the
respectable voters. The testimony of
Attorney General Williams shows
where he got at least a portion of the
money to pay for the hire of his Bra
vos.’ It came from the United States
Treasury, and was paid out by the or
der of the Resident. It is humiliating
to make such a statement, but the
truth requires that it should be
made. Nemo.

Modern Journalism.
Palmetto, Ga , April 24, 1876.
Editors Eagle: It is a disease which
is sometimes incurable—this modern
journalism —and from observations re
cently made by the faculty of the
Police Gazette, the opiniou attains
with them, that in its present type,
this disease is considered as infectious.
(You can never realize how anxious I
have been for the welfare of the Eagle
ever since the appearance of this
malady in this State, and yet had I
only recalled to mind the fact tha’ the
Eagle had never been exposed, and still
further, that the disease was not catch
ing, it would have saved mo all this
solicitude.) I send you a diagnosis
anil treatment of modern journalism,
which was taken from the scrap-book
of a newspaper bash-eater:
“The symptoms which always pre
cede inodern journalism, aro a~h entire
loss uf modesty, which is SUQW suc
ceeded by a violent attack in the region
of toadyism; the tongue becomes oily
anil loose at both ends; the cheeks are
terrible brassy; swelling of the head
with great acuteness,of sensation; con
siderable ti tluieucy iu the general sys
tem, and a constant desire for ethics;
looseness of murals; watchfulness for
the ‘metal of the true Ring;’ a general
rushing of brains to the stomach.
“Treatment—the patient should ft rat
Take @orftetfting,l and shortly after
wards be placed in a Turkish bath,
where ftp should mpipn fqv tep days,
during which time ho ought, to be
drenched with a quart of Condition
Powders every four hours during the
day, and during the night he should
be given either the ‘Extract of the
Beecher scandal,’ or other of that class
of moral hygiene, this ‘lyloqdy shirt’
should be replaced by a jacket made
under the direction of the janitor o'
the ‘Surgical Institute;' his sanctum
should bo well ventilated by the Y. M.
O. A., and his bed bo sprinkled with
Darby’s Prophylatic Bitters; ho should
be kept quief, and by Using the ‘billet
of police’ over his head lie will bo able
to remain quiet for a considerable time.
As it is impossible to bleed an editor, it
is well to ptfiye him, whiMl, if timely
administered, will save hirq from re
quiring SO much indorsement of the
press,’ which is becoming seareo and
consequently more costly.”
I consider it just as fair in ‘ethics’ to
pm face a letter with a P. S , as. it is to
add one at the close, and as time is a
little scattering with me this evening,
f will conclude by sending the preface
now, and wfteu tiiges get thicker I will
send you the letter. j M. Jyup.
