THE EAGLE.
Friday Morning, October 13, 1876.
NATIONAL DEiWCRATIC TICKET
For President:
SAMUEL J. TILOEN,
OF NEW YORK.
For Vice President:
THGS. A. HENDRICKS,
OF INDIANA.
For Congress
Ninth Congressional District:
Hon. 33. EjL Uill.
The prospect for a lively consump
tion of gunpowder on the European
continent continues to increase.
Late accounts from Savannah and
Brunswick justify the hope, that the
yellow fever is abating slightly in those
stricken cities.
There will be but seven Radicals in
tbe next Georgia Legislature, three of
whom are negroes—one each from
Glynn, Dougherty and Lee.
Gen. Ruger, commander of the post
at Atlanta, has ordered that $5,000
worth of provisions be sent to the
Mayor of Savannah for tbe relief of
the destitute.
The New York Day Book declares
that the day Mr. Lincoln issued his
emancipation proclamation two-thirds
of the real property of New York was
struck out of existence.
And now comes the correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, who
says that the next political move will
be tbe organization of a great party at
the North, which will demand the dis
franchisement of the negroes, because
their enfranchisement is giving such
political power to the South, that she
will soon control the national govern
ment.
John D. Lee, the Mormon priest,
who has recently been tried for par
ticipation in the Mountain Meadow
massacre nineteen years ago, was
found guilty, the prisoner having the
right, under the laws of the territory,
to choose death by hanging, shooting
or beheading, and having chosen to be
shot, he was sentenced to be shot to
death, January 20, 1877.
-in answer to the question whether
any full blooded negroes had died of
yellow fever, the Savannah News says:
“The result of our observations and
inquiries upon the above subject is to
the effect that the pure blooded negro
is not a subject for yellow fever. Those
colored who have died here, without
exception, have been persons of mixed
blood.”
The Vicksburg Herald casually re
marks: The Republican papers saythat
the Northern Democrats sympathized
with the south during the war. God
save us in the future from similar sym
pathy. The Northern Democrats and
all the balance of the world helped to
lick us, aud we couldn’t have been
whipped without the Northern Demo
crats.
A ‘tire-tried Republican’ writes from
Georgia to the Washington Republi
can, that if Tilden is elected he will
have to leave the State. This chap of
course has stolen something from the
tax payers, and like all the other
thieves, ho feels it in his bones that
when Tilden gets into the White
House he will have to break for Cuba
or Canada. All the thieves in the coun
try fear Tilden.—Macon Telegraph.
It seems to be a well-established
fact that the last three or four years
have witnessed a return of the Jews
to Palestine from every quarter of the
globe. The number going from Russia
is entirely unprecedented. The He
brew population of Jerusalem is more
than double what it was ten years ago,
and the movement is going on rapidly.
Most of the city property is now in the
hands of Jews, who have gone there
from other countries, and in a few
years’ time they will probably be the
owners of the whole city.
The Griffin News is evidently pleased
with Mr. Milton Candler’s recent
speech in Griffin. It says of the effort
and the orator:
“This speech of Candler’s establish
ed his reputation as an orator, and we
heard several say it was an abler and
more eloquent speech than the one re
cently made by Ben Hill. We can in
form our readers that Mr. Candler is
no ordina.iy man. Beneath a rough
exterior ho wears a diamond intellect
and a sound, clear judgement, with a
character as pure as the driven snow.
Ho is a gentleman, a Christian and a
patriot.
Ohio and Indiana.
We kept our columns opeu to the
latest possible moment hoping to get
definite news from the State elections
in Ohio and Indiana, but in this we
have been disappointed. Enough has
been received to show that the contest
is close in both States, leaving the
lesult still iu great doubt. From
what we can gather from the conflict
ing telegrams, we are inclined to the
opinion that Indiana has gone Demo
cratic by a small majority, but think it
probablo that the Republicans have
carried Ohio by a like small majority.
All seem to agree that West Virginia
has gone Democratic.
Chamberlain’s Proclamation.
We publish in another column the
infamous proclamation ol Gov. Cham
berlain, of South Carolina, ordering
the white people of that State to de
liver up their arms and to submit
without resistance to the domination
of the negro militia. A more outrage
ous and diabolical plot was never con
ceived by a petty tyrant to manacle
and enslave a people, nor one in more
palpable conflict with the fundamental
principles of the Constitution and laws
of the land. The rifle clubs have vio
lated no law, and have banded together
solely for the mutual protection of
themselves and families.
Their arms are their private proper
ty, paid for with their own money, and
these they will not be likely to surren
der at the command of Mr. Chamber
lain, who would subvert the Constitu
tion of the United States, which pro
vides that “the right of the people to
keep and bear arms shall not be in
fringed."
The charge that there exists such
unlawful combinations as to obstruct
the enforcement of the laws, is but a
weak device to justify the call for
troops, and is contradicted by the
highest authority.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee has issued an address de
nouncing Gov. Chamberlin’s proclama
tion as unwarranted by law and the
facts, and as issued to furnish a pre
text for asking for troops.
In re ponse to a letter from Gen.
Hampton, Chief Justice Moses says he
knows nothing to lead him to conclude
that South Carolina is an armed coun
try, or that any arms are needed more
potent than the laws.
Associate Justice Williard and
Judges Mackey and Cook, Republicans,
have written a letter denying any
knowledge of the facts stated in the
proclamation. Mackey charges Cham
berlain with conspiracy against a free
ballot.
'i he Late Election.
The election last week was remark
ably quiet and orderly throughout the
State. No serious disturbance of any
kind has been reported from any quar
ter. It is not un frequently the case
that in the excitement incident to
great State elections quarrels and al
tercations arise, which result in seri
ous presonal difficulties, and often in
bloodshed. We are glad to record the
fact that in this Centennial year, and in
the midst of a heated national struggle,
Georgia passess through the crisis of
a State election so peacefully that even
her bitterest enemies dare not charge
her with disorder.
Full returns have been received from
116 counties. We give them below:
The official vote in 112 counties
gives Colquitt 99,362 and Norcross
31,419. The unofficial returns from
seven counties increases the vote of
Colquitt to 104,002 and Norcross to
32,173, making Colquitt’s majority
only 71,823 with eighteen counties to
hear from.
The Legislature is overwhelmingly
Democratic The Radicals carried but
six counties and elected but one Sena
tor

Important Homestead Decision.
Iu the matter of Caleb F. Hill,
bankrupt, in bankruptcy, in the United
States Court, Judge Erskine made a
important decision. Hill had given
his notes to Willson & Son, and Cab
bage, Hazlehurst & Cos., for supplies.
In each of these notes there was a
waiver and renunciation of the Home
stead by Hill.
Afterwards Hill went into bankrup
cy and all of his estate, both real and
peasonal, was set apart to him as a
Homestead.
Willson & Son, and Cabbage, Hazle
hurst & Cos., filed their petition to the
District Judge, asking an order, that
the assignee use sufficient of the pro
perty so set apart as a Homestead to
pay off their debts.
Judge Erskine held,
Ist. That he had jurisdiction of the
cause.
2d. That he would grant an order
to sell all of the personalty, or so much
thereof as was necessary to pay debts,
as set apart under the State laws, but
would sell no part of the personalty
set apart under the five hundred dol
lar execution cf the United States
Court.
3d. That inasmuch as the notes
were not witnessed by two witnesses,
he would not grant an order to sell
any part of the land.
We learn that the cause will be re
viewed iu the Circu't Court.—Atlanta
Constitution.
Special Correspond' nee of the Eagle.
Washington, D. C. Oct., 7, 1876.
It is at length decided that Colora
do has gone Repubiiaan by about two
thousand majority; this is notlung
more than was to have been expected
Just emerging from the condition of a
Territory into the full maturity of a
State, and with every office held by
the Republicans, and all their patro
nage devoted to the interest of that
party, to say nothing of the large
floating vote composed principally of
Mexicans, who upon election days may
be bought like cattle; it would have
been more reasonable to expect a
Democratic victory in Maine than in
Colorado. It is laughable to observe
the vaiu-glorious boasting of the Re
publicans over their “Colorado victo
ry.” Glad, it seems, to get even that
small crumb. Should you see a Re
publican on the streets buoyant and
gay while speaking of Colorado, just
step up softly and whisper in his ear
“Georgia” and he drops as though he
had been struck by an acrobite. The
Republican papers do not mention
Georgia once in their papers of this
morning—'he name is an abomination
to them, that state having yesterday
gone overwhelmingly Democratic.—
The Republicans bad no fight in most
of the counties except for Governor.
No disturbance is reported any where;
a more peaceful election was never
held in the state. A question of vast
importance to our naturalized fellow
citizens which has been under discus
sion for some time, has recently been
definitely and conclusively settled.
The New York World some months
since charged that Mr. Hayes was a
member af the American Alliance, a
party organized in 1871-1873, and 1876,
each member of which took and sub-
scribed the following: “I solemnly
swear that I will not vote for any per
son or persons for any official position
in this country under the laws thereof,
who are not American born citizens,
and that I will not betray any of the
secrets of this order, or give the name
of any person belonging to this order,
without his consent.” The object for
which this order is organized is for the
maintainance of American principles
as follows: An amendment to the
Naturalization laws limiting the lights
of sufferage to persons born in this
country, or of American,, time an
election of American boj , at , no ti , m ®

Dear Sir: Governor Hayes desires
me to acknowledge the receipt of your
valued favor of July 7th, endorsing
resolution of the American Alliance,
and to say in reply that, he is deeply
gratified by this expression of confi
dence. The importance of carrying
the States of New York New Jersey
and Connecticut in the approaching
canvass is fully recognized, and at the
proper time references will be given
you to committees for such aid and
co-operation as seems to be desirable.
Very respectfully,
Alfred E. Lee, Secretary.

Mr. Hayes thus promptly accepted
the honorary membership tendered
after he fully understood its objects
and intentions and in so doing put
himself in direct antagonism to every
naturalized citizen. Reno.
Our New York Letter.
New York, October 7, 1867.
THE BABES IN BLUE.
Republicans here are disgusted with
the Boys in Blue farce. At their parade
on the 4th instant, so many of these
alleged veterans were evidently not
over twenty-one years old, that the
title Babes in Blue would seem more
appropriate. Considering that it is
nearly twelve years since the war ter
minated, it is safe to say that a major
ity of those who appeared in the parade
were using hobby-horses and wooden
swords when Antietam was fought,
over fourteen years ago; and the ma
jority of these juvenile partisans were
hardly old enough to be received into
the service as drummer boys, when the
army was disbanded iu 1865. The pa
rade was a farce, and created no en
thusiasm or attention, although being
reviewed by the Commander- ; u-chief,
the venerable office-holding Gen. Dix,
who is trained in ail political organiza
tions, and been “everything by turns,
and nothing long.”
THE GEORGIA ELECTION.
The Democratic majority in Georgia
reaches the enormous figure of 75,000
votes, which makes a total of votes
gained by the Democrats in the State
elections held, as compared with 1872,
of 192,000 votes.
ANOTHER SAMPLE ORATOR.
Colonel C. H. Jojce, Republican
member fo Congress from Vermont,
makes his capital on the stamp by de
claring, vehemently that “Samuel J.
Tilden never had a loyal heart-beat
during the war.” To be sure, Joyce
offers no proof of this assertion,, -and
various distinguished men, like Mr.
Watson, Lincoln’s Assistant Secretary
of War, and Hon. John Biglow give
very strong proofs to the contrary.
Mr. \Y atson, as Assistant Secretary,
might be supposed to kuow more about
loyal citizens and brave soldiers than
would fad under the observation of
Colonel Joyce, because Joyce’s servi
ces were confined entirely to the de
fenses at Washington, and never ex
tended to the field of battle. He was
personally famous for being under ar
rest during six months of his brief
military career, for insubordination,
and other grave offenses. Whatever
Mr. Tilden’s heart-beats may have
been, in Mr. Joyce’s opinion, they are
always those_of a brave man, true to
his duty and subordinate to the laws.
AMERICAN ALLIANCE IN THE WEST.
Advices here had, Ameri
can Alliance development has made an
immense excitement in*the West, es
pecially among the Germans, and it
will, without doubt, have a considera
ble effect upon the elections there this
week. This effect will be increased by
the utter consternation intfijaJiich the
disclosure has thrown the Republican
leaders and press.
No authoritative or definite denial
is made, as would have been'done be
fore this time by some of the parties
concerned, if the whole history were
not true.
Neither Hayes, nor Lee, his secreta
ry, nor any one of the metals of the
Alliance named as composing the
committees, has at yet said one word
in reply and the attempts at explana
tion are unmistakable failuse=
The Republican papers all concede
that the effect of such a nomination
would be fatal to the chances of Hayes
and Wheeler, and devote their atten
tion entirely to the assertion that the
lithographic letter, standing alone,
does not prove a nomination or accep
tance, but, in the languagtSSf'-an even
ing paper not heretofore favorable to
Tilden, does prove certainly the same
thing, viz:—That the proscriptive or
der expects its favorites to "carry out
the principles it is sworn to uphold.—
The acceptance of such an indorse
ment with thanks, accompanied by a
jll ••-'■>*l be i V tnSll the offiicial
account showed. In Maine the same
thing occurred, in a somewhat lesser
degree, aud now Georgia has given
over 70,000 Democratic majority, in
stead of 40,000 as first reported. At
the Connecticut elections the Republi
cans have carried less towns than they
first claimed, and the changes from
last year are strongly in favor of the
Democrats,
Speckled Trout.
[From tlie Atlanta Constitution, Bth inst.j
We were shown yesterday by a gen
tleman just from Porter Springs, a
specimen of the genuine New England
brook trout, or as it is generally called
the speckled trout, which abounds in
the mountain brooks ia the vicinity of
Porter Springs, Lumpkin county, in
this State. It is perhaps the most
beautiful fish found in American wa
ters, and though common in the brooks
of New England, is rarely found in the
South. There are a few points in the
mountainous regions of Virginia and
North Carolina of great altitude where
they are found. They are the only
kind of fish found in the mouutain
brooks in the vicinity of Porter Springs
and they exist there in great num
bers.
Those springs are near the top of
the Blue Ridge on a spur called Cedar
mountain, in a beautiful cove at an
elevation of about three thousand feet,
and it is just over the crest of the
mountain from the spring that these
beautiful trout are caught. They are
not found on the Atlantic slope of the
Blue Ridge, but only on the western
declivity—or, more properly speaking,
on the top of the mountain.
They are seldom more than one foot
iu length and have no scales. On
their sides they are dotted with beau
tilul deep red spots about the size of
a large pin head, which spots are in
regular lines. They belong to the
salmon species and the meat of most
of them are of a rich salmon color.—
The experiment of transporting them
to the brooks on the Atlantic slope of
the mountain to stock those waters
with them has been repeatedly made,
but has failed in every instance. They
cannot exist except in very cold water,
and the water on the south side of the
mountain is too warm for them. They
abound in all the streams in the eleva
ted table land on top of the Blue
Ridge, knovvu as Canada, a section of
country just over the top of the moun
tain from Porter Springs, and about
three to ten miles distant. It was in
this section of our state that there
was snow on the first day of this
month. For several hours there was
a heavy fall of snow, to which we al
luded in last Friday’s issue. If the
state government would only open up
good turn pike roads by convict labor
into that mountain region it would
become the Switzerland of the south,
but without roads in is a wild barren
country.
This table laud called Canada is
about four thousand feet above the
sea level, and the peaks surrounding
it rise nearly one thousand feet higher.
The fact that the speckled trout
abound in those waters and that there
was a brisk snow there for several
hours last Sunday, October Ist is
demonstrative evidence that there is
within the limits of Georgia a little
Switzerland if it was only developed.
South Carolina.
On the 7tli instant Governor Cham
berlain, of South Carolina, issued the
following remarkable Proclamation :
State of South Carolina, Executive
Chamber.—Whereas, It has been made
known to me by written and sworn
evidence that there exists such unlaw
ful obstructions, combinations and as
semblages of persons in the counties of
Aiken and Barnwell, that it has be
come impracticable in my judgement,
as Governor of the State, to enforce
by the ordinary course of judicial pro
ceeding the laws of the State within
said counties, by reason whereof it has
become necessary in my judgement, as
Governor, to call forth and employ the
military force of the State to enforce
the faithful execution of the laws; and
whereas, it has been made known to
me, as Governor, that certain organi-
zations and combinations of men exist
in all the counties of the State, com
monly known as rifle clubs; and where
as, sucli organizations and combina
tions of men are illegal and strictly
forbidden by the law of this State; and
whereas, such organizations and com
binations of men are engaged in pro
moting illegal objects, and in commit
ting open acts of lawlessness and
violence; now, therefore, I, Daniel H.
Chamberlin, Governor of said State,
do issue, my proclamation, as required
by the 13th section of chapter 132 of
the General Statues of the State, com
manding the said unlawful combination
and assemblages of persons in the
counties of Aiken and Barnwell to dis
perse and retire peaceably to their
homes within three days from the date
of this proclamation and henceforth to
Old S‘> a unlawfuL interference
ights of citizens, and from
afi Violations of the public peace.—
And I do further, by this proclama
tion, forbid the existence of all said
organizations or combinations of men
commonly known as rifle clubs, and
all other organizations or combinations
of men, or formations not forming a
part of the organized militia of the
State, which are armed with fire arms
or other weapons of war, or which en
gage or are formed for the purpose of
engaging in drilling, exercising the
manuel of arms or military manoeuvres,
or which appear or are formed for the
purpose of appearing under arms, or
under the command of officers bearing
the titles or assuming the functions of
ordinary military officers, or in any
other manner acting, or proposing to
act, as organized and armed bodies of
men. And Ido command all such or
ganizations, combinations, formations,
or bodies of men, forthwith to disband,
and cease to exist in any place, or un
der any circumstances, in the State.—
And I do further declare and make
known, by this proclamation, to all
the people of the State, that in case
this proclamation shall be disregarded,
for the space of three days from the
date thereof, I shall proceed to put
into active use all the powers with
which, as Governor, I am invested by
the Constitution and laws of the State
for the enforcement of the rights of
the citizens, and particularly the pow
ers conferred on me by chapter one
hundred and thirty-two of the general
statues of the State, as well as by the
Constitution of the United States.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the great seal
of the State to be annexed, at Colum
bia, this 7th day of October, A. D.,
1876, and in the one hundred and
first year of American Independence.
By the Governor:

The records of mortality from yel
low fever in Charleston for the years
1854, 1856 and 1858, show that in
1854 and 1858 the number of deaths
was greatest about the middle of Sep
tember, and in 1856, from the 20th of
September to the 18th of October.—
The total deaths from the fever in the
city in 1854 were 614, in 1858, 680,
and in 1856, 206. The disease made
its appearance in 1854 in the week
ending the 19th of August; in 1856,
week ending 9th August; and in
1858, 7th August. It ended about
the middle of November each year. i
In Savannah, in 1854, the fever i
made its appearance on the 3rd of Au
gust, and disappeared early in Novem

was 183, in September, 390 and in
October 71.
All these figures, together with the
cool weather now experienced, afford
reason to believe that the fever now
prevailing has done its worst, and will
soon disappear.
