T H E E A (i L E . Friday Morning, .1 >'lv 21, 18711. NATIONAL TICKET For President: SAMUEL .1. TILDEN, OF NEW YORK. For Vice President: THOS. A. HENDRICKS, OF INDIANA. The State Democratic Convention assembles in Atlanta, on YVednes day, August, 2d. James M. Tyner, of Indiana, one of Mortons henchmen, is the new Post- Master General. The bill removing the political dis abilities of Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard has passed both Houses of Congress. But few changes have been made in the now revenue law, but additional methods for enforcement are pro vided. According to Dr. Janes, Georgia’s fertilizer account amounts to $3,334,- 982, of which $2,975,353 is to be paid in cotton next November. 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 ble, and no confidouco can bo placed in 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 bill repealing the Resumption Act. A two-thirds vote was required rise in the price of ox- has produced a most alarming 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 ed vigorously to the front. Make way for Reform! The latest news upon the Guberna torial question gives reports from one hundred counties, which places the slate as follows: Colquitt 177, Johnson 39, Mclntyre o, a, YTrner 4, Keese wood 2, Unknown 2G. 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 Publishing Company, Atlanta, Ga. 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 Treasury now holds $340,922,- 850 in United States bonds to secure national bank circulation, and $18,673,- 000 to secure public deposits. United States bonds deposited for circulation for the week ending 15th inst., $50,000. United States bonds held for circula tion withdrawn the week ending same 'lay, $387,000. National bank circula tion outstanding, $329,519,184, exclu sive of $2,099,190 gold notes. Receipts of national bank notes forwarded for redemption for the week ending 15th July, as compared with the correspond ing week of last year, 1875, $4,404,000; 1876, $4,764,000. 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. White County Primary Meeting. Cleveland, Ga., July 15th, 1876. The meeting was called to order by W. li. Bell, Chairman of the Democra tic Executive Committee, and on mo tion of J. 11. Nichols, W. B. Beil was unanimously elected to preside over the body. On motion of M. G. Boyd, Frank T. Haralson waH elected secretnfy. On motion the Chairman was re quested to explain the object of the meeting. On motion it was agreed to go into an election to ascertain the sentiments of the people of Wbite-*Qounty. The name of A. H. Colquitt was placed be fore the meeting by Captain J. H. Nichols, who, in a very impressive manner, advocated the above named gentleman as the man for Governor. The name of Thomas Hardeman was placed before the body by M. G. Boyd; and he urged that Mr. Hardeman was a man who always recognized that there was Buch a place as Northeast Georgia. The meeting then went into an election by ballot, which resisted as follows: Colquitt 142, Hardeman 19, and T. Stringer On motion of Jesse LumsdeD, Gen. Colquitt’s election was made unani mous. On motion of Jemrnie Williams, Capt. J. H. Nichols and Fraiik..Karal son were unanimously elected (.s dele gates to the Convention to be hold in Atlanta, on the 2d of August, 1876. On motion of Captain J. H. Kichols, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That we, the Democratic party of White the purity of character of A. H. Colquitt, as a private citizen; his ability as a statesman, and his gallantry is a sol dier, do cordially recommend him to the State Democratic Convention soon to assemble at Atlanta, as pre-effiinent ly qualified to fill the Guberdatorial chair for the ensuing term of office. Resolved, That we hereby instruct Capt. Nichols and Frank Haralson, as our delegates to said Convention, to cast their votes for him as long as there is any reasonable- hope of his nomination. Resolved, That wo heartily endorse the nomination of Tilden and Hen dricks by tho Democratic Convention lately held at St Louis, and pledge them our zealous support in the com ing campaign. On motion of Jemrnie Williams, the delegates were allowed to appoint their own alternates in case they should fail to go. On motion of Dr. Underwood, the Gainesville Eagjfii be requested to pub lish the proceedings of the meeting. The meeting then adjourned. /- y W, B. Bell, Chairman. JjitANj . TJahalson, Secretary. Dawson County Primary Meeting. Dawsonville, Ga., July 4th, 1876. At a meeting of the Democratic party of Dawson county, held at this place to-day, to elect delegates to the Con vention to be held in Atlanta, on the 2d of August next, to nominate a can didate for Governor, Hon. D. E. Smith was called to the chair, and A. M. Barrett was requested to act aa secre tary. On motion of D. J. Burt, a commit tee of three was appointed to nominate delegates and alternates to said Con vention. D. J. Burt, A. J Taylor and Joseph McAfee composed that com mittee. The committee reported the names of Marshall L. Smith and E. N. Mc- Clure as delegates, and J. D. Palmour and A. J. Taylor as alternates —and they were elected as such. Resolved, That these proceedings be published iu the Gainesville Eagle. The meeting then adjourned. D. E. Smith, Chairman. 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. Sews Items. It is asserted that the population of Cleveland, Ohio, is over 164,000 lu 1776 it was Revolution and Wash ington ; in 1876 it is Reform and Til ! den. The swiftest regular trains between Washington and Baltimore, run forty two miles of that distance in fifty min utes. Owing to a pressure of business, it will be several weeks before Gov. Til den’s letter of acceptance will be pre pared. The Pittsfield Sun says the Demo cracy of Massachusetts will nominate Charles Francis Adams for Governor of that State. Since the days of Jackson, the New Haven Register declares that no nom ination has met with such acceptance in Connecticut as that of Tilden. The appropriation for the improve ment of the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers has been increased by the Sen ate from $20,000 to $25,000. The several officers of Custer’s com mand had their lives insured for a sum aggregating $40,000. Gen. Custer had a policy of $5,000 on his life. Tho printers of New York are erect ing a magnificent statue over the grave of Horace Greeley. It is to be life size, and of the finest Parian marble. Gen. Joseph H. Shelby, late of the Confederate army, has telegraphed to the President his desire to raise a re giment in Missouri to avenge the death of Gen. Custer. There are 137 counties in Georgia. Six will have 6 votes each; twenty seven 4 votes each, and one hundred and four 2 votes each. Total, 352. Ma jority, 177. Two-thirds, 235. The people of Georgia should pre pare for a hot campaign this fall. The Radicals always Eight hard at a Presi dential election, and we must not lose a single Democratic vote next Novem ber. Tho President appears to want to distinguish himself as a Cabinet-maker, but if he keeps on at the rate ho has been going lately he will soon not have enough timber left to organize a bureau. A bill has passed the “Confederate” House of Representatives granting a pension of fifty dollars per month each to tho father, mother and wife of Gen. Custer. Does the Chicago Inter-Ocean see any ‘bowie knives’ in this ? Haywood Grant was hung in Rome, Georgia, last week for arson. He con' fossed that he had mnrdei’ed Gen. Hindman and gave a long list of other crimes of which he had been guilty. The Chinese are the only nation hoy/to cover plates of.sheet lead with thin layers of colored glass. They use them ou the sides aud domes of their temples, to which they lend a lustrous and gorgeous appearance. A special dispatch from Fort Lincoln to the Chicago Tribune, giving addi tional accounts of tho Little Horn fight, states that Sitting Bull, the Indian leader, was killed, as was, also, his chief adviser, a white renegade named Milburn. President Grant seems to be getting perfectly furious. His defeat for the third-term, and the criticism on some of his official acts by the leading or gans of his party, have madened him, and hence his violent and unreasonable conduct. The Ohio Liberal, General Briukor hoff’s paper,printed at Mansfield,which last fall supported Hayes now comes out for Governor Tilden and honest Government. The paper is the organ of the Liberal Republicans of Ghio.and will dp excellent work. Sunday’s telegrams report terribly warm weather in the North and much sickness and loss of life resulting from it. The mercury in one place is re ported at 110 in the shade. In Macon and surrounding country it was 104 and 105 at noon on Sunday. Ex-Governor John M. Palmer, of Illinois, declares himself entirely satis fied with the St. Louis ticket; thinks it a strong one, and promises to support it. Ex-Senator Lyman Trumbull is of a similar mind, and oilers his services to the Democratic managers. The Baptist church of Columbus af ter a severe struggle has passed a res olution withdrawing the fellowship of tho church from C. A. Kondrick on the chargo of adultery. The resolution passed by a vote of 35 to 34. Twenty seven ladies voted with the minority. More than a year ago Boss Shepherd contemptuously described Postmaster General Jewell as ‘that little bob-tailed clam Yankee.’ Grant has all the time sympathized with Shepherd, but it has taken him a good while to so fix things that he could compel the ‘little bob tailed clam’ to pack up and start for Connecticut. The total admissions to the Centen nial up to and including Monday last were 2,076,106, and the total cash re ceipts for the same time $684,530 50, showing the daily average of paying visitors (fifty-three days) to have been nearly 26,000, and the daily average of total admissions about 39,000. The battle in Ohio is becoming nu expectedly exciting. With Judge Stab 10, Fred. Hassaurek and General Brinkerhoff coming to the front of the Tilden ranks, aud plunging in for an aggressive campaign, it is noticed that even Ohio is to be contested step by step for October. All of these able liberal leaders supported Hayes for Governor last fall against Allen. 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.
