THE E A. Ci I. E . Friday Morning', April 27, ls 7(!. Griffin has recently had a big lire. Atlanta refuses to be comforted 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 ing, and you don’t want to disappoint 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. g- 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. The Great Unknown is said to be a man name! Smith. • 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. White County, Cr.EyKr.ANo, Ga., April 34.1876. iCDFiuita KA,.i,m time ago I promised to give ydffj' readers a little of the history of the famous “Loud Mim ” in this conntv.
