James M. Tyner, of Indiana, one of
Mortons henchmen, is the new Post-

The bill removing the political dis
abilities of Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard

General Crook writes that he is
waiting,reinforcoments, and will strike
the Sioux a crushing blow when they
arrive. Sitting Bull outnumbers him
three to one.
All the accounts from the scene of
the European war soem equal unrelia

official statements or the reports of
special correspondents.
The House—by a vote of 102 to 02—
has refused to instruct the Committee
ou Banking and Currency to report a

condition of affairs in British India.
The crisis is pronounced the most se
rious in the history of the country.
The Bristows, Jewells, Hendersons,
Yaryans, Dyers and Cornells are step
ing down and out, while Chandler,
Cameron, Hayes, & Cos., are being shov

for Reform!
The latest news upon the Guberna

hundred counties, which places the
slate as follows:
Colquitt 177, Johnson 39, Mclntyre

The Boston Herald says ‘Grant still
keeps a grip on the party machinery,
and will continue to peddle out the of
fices to the bummers to the end of
his term. From this point he is the
strongest ally the Democrats havo.
He will probably secure the election of
Tilden.’
We take pleasure in directing atten
tion to tho advertisement of the Savan
nah Morning News, to be found in an
other column. The News is one of tho
best papers published North or
and to all wishing a paper pub
pHfhp the “City by the Sea,” we say
BRethe best.
If so many frauds have been discov
ered by tho investigations of tho Dem
ocratic Reformers in the House, how
many more, still concealed, will be
brought to view when the Reformers
get possession of the Government, and
are able to penetrate all its dark places
with the torch of truth ?
In theso hard times a good return
for honest labor is very desirable. Any
active young man or young lady can
earn a handsome sum by addressing,
for particulars, the managers of the
Constitution, the great political and
family journal published at the Capital
of the State. Address, Constitution

Mr. Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville (Ivy.) Courier Journal, at
the earnest solicitation of the most
prominent Democrats in the district,
has consented to mako tho race for
Congress to fill tho unexpired term of
the late Hon. E. Y. Parsons. It is in
timated that ox-Secretary Bristow, tho
repudiated Radical reformer, will be
his oppoueut.
A Correspondent in the Savannah
News says: ‘Let us pay Gen. Colquitt,
while we are at it, the very highest
compliment we can. Let us lift him
into the Gubernatorial chair with one
rousing, unanimous shout. He is
worthy of it in every way—indeed his
faults, if he has any, are unknown,
while his virtues have become by
words in every household in Georgia.’

The Presidential Canvass.
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed
since the action of the two National
Conventions to warrant the careful
and impartial observer in forming
anything like a correct opinion as to
the final result. Enough has been de
veloped, however, to show that the
canvass will be one of the hottest in
the history of the government —that
every inch of ground will be most
stubbornly contested. The Republican
party, with Mr. Hayes at its head, and
its array of office-holders, is fighting
for existence and for the spoils. The
stake is too valuable to be relinquished
without a herculean effort to retain it.
The struggle that has been going on
between the Liberals, who were for
reform within the party, and the ex
treme Radicals, for the management
of the campaign, has culminated in
favor of the latter, and Chandler,
Cameron, Morton, et. al., have seized
the reins and propose to run it on their
line. This is proof that the bloody
shirt will be elevated, and that the
religious and school questions will be
used whenever and wherever they can
be made effective.
On the other hand, the friends of
reform and of honest government have
abundant cause for gratulation in the
enthusiasm that has been aroused by
the platform of principles adopted and
the ticket put forward by the St. Louis
Convention. And as everything settles
down, the evidence going to show that
the country is ripe for a change and for
reform, accumulates. This is not only
hope-inspiring, but Mr. Tilden, the
selected head and representative of the
Democratic party, is developing that
astuteness and penetration so essential
in the leader of a great party. He has
not only shown that he is an able tacti
cian, but the boldness with which he
has entered the campaign, has already
placed his opponents on the defensive.
Of one thing we think the country may
bo assured, that is—should Mr. Tilden
be elected he will be President; and
this is what the people want, and what
is demanded by the exigency of the
times. No reform can be inaugurated
and successfully carried out with a
milk and cider half and half occupant
of the White House. A second Andrew
Jackson, who will dare and do is what
is demanded, and nothing short of this
will succeed in bringing about that re
form in administration, for which tho
country is clamoring from Maine to
California.
The Indian War.
The indications now are quite prom
ising for a lively Indian
Northwest. The restless and
ed Sioux have been keeping up tlrelr
usual practice of drawing rations and
buying arms and ammunition at the
Indian Agencies, "and
their gratitude by taking every scalp
that happened to fall in their pathway,
This has been going on for years,
not withstanding the extra efforts that
have been put forth by the various
Christian denominations, in sending
Missionaries among them, and by the
government in sending out peace com
missioners to subdue their savage fe
rocity and teach them the arts of peace,
and something of that comity to bo
observed by one people in their inter
course with another, still they are the
same treacherous, faithless, cruel, truce
breaking savages that they have over
been.
All tho labor ami money expended
seems to have been thrown away, and
now recourse must be had to that po
tent argument, and tho only one to
which they will listen—the bayonet.
From the recent reports received
from the seat of war, it is highly prob
able that several tribes heretofore nom
inally peaceful, encouraged by the suc
coss of tho Sioux in the recent battles,
at Rosebud and Little Horn, will join
the hostile tribes, and that a general
war will follow.
It is estimated that the Sioux chief,
Sitting Bull, could muster a lighting
force of at least teu thousand, before
he was joined by Crazy Horse—the
latter of whom proved himself strong
enough to defeat General Crook in
every engagement without aid from
Sitting Bull. To these may be added
several smaller tribes, now thought to
be hastening to join the hostile tribes,
ami we have an army of 25,000
savages who have put on the war paint
and taken up arms against tho Gov
ernment. This may seem an insignifi
cant force when arrayed against the
United States, but when it is remem
bered that this war is being prosecu
ted near the center of an almost track
less desert, with mountain cliffs and
ravines, affording hiding places for the
savages perfectly adapted to their mode
of warfare, and where they are as near
their base of supplies at oue place as
at another, and some of the obstacles
in the way of a speedy peace will be
apparent.
We have heard of no order remov
ing any of the regiments quartered in
the South, where there is no need of
their services, to the seat of the Indian
war, where there is passing need of
every soldier not required for the Texas
frontier. Nearly 7,000 Federal stroops
are scattered through the Southern
States, only one-half of that number
being stationed in Texas. Meanwhile
a dozen companies of Southern militia
have been offered to the War Depart
ment for service against the Sioux.
Tho administration keeps its soldiery
in the South to control elections. The
South offers her citizen guard to avenge
the national honor.—N. Y. World.
And so Mr. Robeson, Secretary of
the Navy, is to be impeached.
Colonel Hardeman’s Letter.
We publish in another column the
letter of Col. Hardeman, withdrawing
from the Gubornatorie l canvass. The
letter breaths a spirit of patriotism and
fealty to the Democratic party, which
cannot fail to raise this noble Roman
still higher in the estimation of every
Georgia. As soon as th 9 Colonel ascer
tained that a majority of the people
preferred another to himself, he grace
fully retires, with a strong plea for that
unity and harmony essential to success.
Such magnanimity and devotion to the
Democratic party will not fail of its
reward. One effect will be to greatly
strengthen Gen. Colquitt, as the great
body of Col. Hardeman’s supporters
will turn to the hero of Olustee as
their second choice. Another will
probably be to complicate the election
of United States Senator by the next
Legislature.
Special Correspondence of the Eagle.
Washington, July 15, 1876.
Every one seems to appreciate the
change in the weather, produced by
the long rain of last night. The heat
for the last three weeks has been so
overpowering, that poopla seemed to
have but a single object in view, and
that was to keep as cool as possible.
This morning most of them appear as
usual in hot pursuit of the “Almighty
dollar,” while at least a portion of
them are bent upon vindicating the
truth of the old aphorism used by
Lindley Murray, as an example under
one of his rules, “The multitude eager
ly pursue pleasure as their chief good.
The chair laid before the Senate, in
answer to a resolution of that body, a
message from tho President, accom
panied by a report from Gen. Sherman
and Brigadier General Terry, in rela
tion to the condition of affairs with the
Sioux. Several private bills were re
ported and placed on the calendar.
Tho Senate then proceeded with the
impeachment trial, but owing to the
absence of John S. Evans, the post
trader at Fort Sill, adjourned at 12:15
as a court of impeachment and resum
ed legislative business. The remainder
of the day was occupied in discussing
the proposed amendments to the ap
propriation bill. Mr. Frelingtuiysen
was rampant. Sooner ho said than to
be driven to legislation on an appro
priation bill to save the appropriation,
he for one would let this bill and every
other one fail. If Mr. Frelinghuyseu
does not now know he should strive
speedily to learn that alone
is responsible for the amount of money
appropriated to carry on the govern
ment. The power of the Senate, like
* the power of the House of Lordß, is
simply advisory. If its suggestions are
accepted by the House, well and good>
. but if Ihe LWuse its "ptfsi--
tion, it is clearly the duty of the Senate
to yield. The present position of the
Senate and the position of the Execu
tive department of the government
especially, is from every constitutional
point of view and to all the precedents
of constitutional history, simply mon
strous. It is practically an act of
usurpation, and if such a policy was
attempted in Monarchical England, it
would lead to a revolution. In such a
contest no one can doubt for a moment
where the crown and the lords would
go. If the Senate and Executive are
right in their policy of defiance and
antagonism to tho House, tho claim in
the constitution defining the poworß
of the House on financial bills, is to
all intents and purposes a nullity. The
Constitution clearly prescribes how
much money shall be raised by taxa
tion; in other words how much money
the people shall pay for the support of
the government. If it doos not mean
this, it does not mean anything. Tho
present position of tho Senate reverses
this order of affairs overturning tho
Constitution in this respect, and de
clares the Senate and Executive shall
be the judges of how much the people
shall pay into the treasury. No one
will contend that this is the correct
theory of our government any more
than it is the theory of the English
government. If President Grant has
the right to suspend the operations of
the government, because ho and the
Senate constitute themselves the sole
judges as to the amount ot monoy
necessary to carry on the government,
it would hardly be a stretch of author
ity upon his part to send a file of sol
diers into the House and compel the
majority to vote him all the money lie
desires. This, although not upon an
appropriation bill, he has again and
again done in a State Legislature, and
it may be he is contemplating the same
proceednre in the present emergency.
Reno.
In obedience to the instruction of
the Democratic State Committee, Col.
Avery, the Secretary, applied to the
various railroads in the State for half
fare rates for delegates to the Stato
Convention in Atlanta August 2d. The
Georgia Railroad, the Port Royal
road, the Western and Atlantic road,
and the Gulf road have granted tho
privilege, aud the other roads will pro
bably do so. Future notice will be
given.
Congressman Vance, of Ohio, who
has just returned to Washington from
a week’s trip to that State, reports a
wonderful amount of enthusiasm and
confidence among the Democrats
there. The campaign will be the most
vigorous ever conducted iu that State,
and the general feeling among Demo
crats there is that Tilden is sure of an
election, and that Hayes will be beaten
in his own State.

of Dawson county, held at this place

A. M. Barrett, Secretary.
Mr. Hayes is pledged, clearly and
unmistakably pledged, if olected Pres
ident, to devote all the constitutional
power vested in the Executive to mak
ing more permanent the tenure of of
fice. He would have it for good beha
vior—equivalent to life tenure—and
he will do his utmost to bring this
about.
Give the officeholders of this country
a tenure in their respective offices for
life, and how long would it be before a
movement would be set on foot to
make offices hereditary ? And that
might succeed as welTas Mr. Hayes’
present proposed innovation.
History teaches us that when a man
is made Emperor or King for life, the
first thing he thinks of, the first thing
he sets himself about, is to make the
succession secure to his heirs.
A change from an aristocracy hold
ing office for life to a hereditary aris
tocracy, would not be so great as the
change from our present system to
the aristocracy of officeholders for life.
If we do not want a hereditary aris
tocracy, let us put an end, in the most
summary and conclusive manner, to
the first step toward it, now proposed
by Rutherford B. Hayes. This can be
done by giving a very large majority
against him.—New York Sun.
The near approach of the passage of
the appropriation bills is indicated.
The House recedes to some extent, but
not materially. The saving is still
large, and the principle of retrench
ment, the fact that the Republicans
could have reduced expenditures and
did not, is settled and stands to Dem
ocratic credit. For all their knowl
edge of parliamentary law, and the
Democratic lack of experience, plain,
blunt, honesty has in a rough sort ol
way, by presistent labor, gained a vic
tory.

Colonel Hardeman Retires.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: It
is evident from the returns of primary
meetings in different counties that I
am not the choice of a majority of the
citizens of the State of Georgia for ex
ecutive honors. Recognizing this fact,
though other count ies yet to act would
add to my list of supporters, it would
not change the result. It would there
fore bo folly in me to continue longer
in the canvass, thereby injuring my
friends and creating unnecessarily,fur
ther division in the Democratic party.
Believing, as I do, that the will of the
majority should govern, I cannot con
sent to remain longer in an attitude of
seeming opposition to that will rel ing
upon a contingency that might happen
under the operation of the two-thirds
rule, to thwart it, and thereby place in
position someone who is not the choice
of the people. I cannot be a party to
any such arrangement, for it is against
my sense of justice and of right, and,
therefore, retire from tho canvass,bow
ing submissively to the will of the peo
ple. In so doing, I would not intimate
to those friends, who have been select
ed in my interest, how they should act
in the premises, for I am well awaro
that their intelligence and patriotism
will guide them in that line of conduct,
which will result in good to the party
and benefit to the people. In retiring,
allow me to say to those counties who
have honored mo as their choice, I
mean all that language will convey,
when I say I heartily thank you for
your generous confidence. To the
press I return my grateful acknowledg
ments; to some for their disinterested
support, to others, for llxe manly, cour
teous and kind opposition they have
given me. True, a very small number
have by their personal allusions and
unkind insinuations injured me, but in
so doing they have not elevated the
character of their journals or grown in
the esteem of a fair-minded public.
To those friends, who for months gave
me encouraging assurances of confi
dence and support, then abandoned
me and joined my opponents, I will
only say I freely forgive you, knowing
as I do, that human nature cannot
withstand the blandishments of posi
tion and the allurements of office. To
the Democratic party I would speak
one word. Let not envies or jealous
ies enter your ranks and divide your
forces. The contest wo are about to
enter will require united efforts to en
sure a victory. In the past, I Lave la
bored zealously for harmony in our
ranks, knowing it was essential to suc
cess. For that harmony I would sacri
fice personal ambition to-day—prefer
ring party success to personal eleva
tion at the expense of that party. I
shall therefore not cease my efforts in
that direction in the future, but, as a
private in the ranks, will still be found
ever willing to strike ‘with might and
main’ for Democratic unity and vic
tory. Thomas Hardeman, Jr.
Georgia State Agricultural Society.
Secretary’s Office, )
Atlanta, Ga., July Ist, 1876. j
1. The Fall meeting of 1876 of the State
Agricultural Society will be held in the city
of Gainesville on tho second Tuesday (Bth
day) of August, 1876.
2. Wo hope, through the continued liboral
ityofthe railroads, to obtain transpotation
lor t lie members free both ways. The Rail
roads, however, will positively not pass but
three delegate from a county. It is useless to
ask an extension of the rule. Where, there
fore, there are two or more Clubs in one coun
ty each claiming three delegates, this Society
cannot make application for transportation
for any of them until tho several Societies
have arranged among themselves and agreed
upon the three delegates to represent the
county. We can not discriminate at this
office. Delegates, by agreement with the
Railroads, will be required o go by the most
diroct routes.
3. Tickets will be issued in the names of
the Delegates, who were reported by their
Societies last winter for the February Con
vention, and forwarded to the Secretary of
tho Club for distribution.
4. Life members wishing to attend the
Convention, should give notice to tho Secre
tary, at Atlanta, by or before the 25th of July.
5. Delegates aro earn stly requested to ar
range so as to arrive in Gainesville ou tho
evening trains of Monday before the Con
vention meets on Tuesday, that there may be
a full attendance upon meeting; otherwise,
they cannot reach Gainesville until the fol
lowing evening, (Tuesday), and thus lose one
entire day of the proceedings. Delegates
arriving in Atlanta on Monday, can take eith
