TH E EA GLE. Friday Morning', November 10, 1870. The Eiection in this County. In the election on Tuesday, Hall county, as true to her antecedents as the needle is to the pole, marched squarely ami firmly up to a full dis charge of duty. The vote polled at this place was the largest ever cast since the organization of the county — being a little over 1,100. The election passed off without the slightest dis turbance here, and throughout the country, so far as we have heard. At seven of the precincts, viz: Flowery Branch, Vandiver’s, Naramore’s, Quil lian’s, Big Hickory, Bark Camp, and the Fork, not a Radical vote was polled. The consolidated return gives Tilden, 1,533; Hayes, 191; Hill for Congress, 1,51 G. Ihe Georgia Victory. The returns from the State are not complete, but enough have been re ceived to warrant the statement that the majority for Tilden and Hendricks will be at least fifty thousand, with a strong probability that it will go higher. The Congressional delega tion will be solidly Democratic, with a doubt as between Dabney and Felton. In the first district, Hartridge is elec ted by an increased majority. In the second, Smith has again triumphed over Whitely by a majority ranging from three to four thousand. In the third, Gen. Phil Cook’s majority will probably be 6,000. In the fourth, Harris is elected by an overwhelming vote. Parson Hilliard, the “Indepen dent” has gone a glimmering. In the fifth, Candler’s majority over Mark ham will be at least 8,000. In the seventh there is still doubt as between Dabney and Felton, with the chances for Felton. In the eighth, Mr. Ste phens again walks over the track, with a highly complimentary endorsement. In the Ninth, where there was no op position, of course the vote was all one way. On the whole, we can record home affairs as altogether satisfactory. The adjourned term of Gwinnett Superior Court opens on the fourth Monday in this month. -*- Judge H. Troup Lumpkin, a faith ful worker and accomplished gentle man, has retired from the staff of the Atlanta Times. The 4th of next March comes on Sunday. Going according to histori cal precedent the President will not bo inaugurated. The existing term will expire at noon Sunday and the ac ting Vice-president will be the Presi dent of the United States until the inaugural ceremonies. The news from the Nortl* pole, through the recent English arctic ex ploring expedition, is not cheering. It failed to plant the cross of St. George upon the mythical pole and, after much suffering, death and dis ease, it has returned, bringing the in formation that the polar Sea can never be navigable. According to the official statistics, the Indian population has decreased nearly one-half in the last fifteen years. Yet the Indian appropriations, which in 1871 amounted to $2,895,000 per annum had grown in 1875 to SB,- 384 000, Half as many Indians and costing three times as much to keep them. There is a rumor afloat that Chief Justice Warner contemplates retireing from the bench of the Supreme Court at the expiration of this (the July) term. Judge Warner has teen on the bench for about thirty years, and is universally esteemed as an able and upright Judge. How about the pay of all the deputy marshals? No appropriation has been made by Congress to carry out Taft’s declaration of war against the South, and we really don’t see where the funds are to come from, unless they are stolen from the Treasury. That is the only Radical remedy we can think of.—Savannah News. A sensation has been created in Jer sey City by the discovery of a gold mine while sinking a well. The work men, after passing through a vein of iron ore, struck a quartz vein contain ing gold, at a depth of 900 feet. Geol ogists suppose that this quartz belongs to the Appalachian range running from Nova Scotia to the Gulf, and hav ing outcroppings in Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. The people of Texas are much agita ted over th 6 treaty with the Indians, by which they agreed to be removed to the borders of Texas. The Dallas Herald says: ‘The introduction of six or eight thousand hostile and savage Sioux into the Indian Territory, near the borders of Texas, is a menace to Texas. It involves danger not only to the property and lives of our citizens upon the Northwest frontier, but such a band of trained and fearless Indians, joined by others, might easily sweep down into the very heart of North Texas. Col. Nathan Thomas, the recent Radical candidate for the Legislature, of Elbert county, has vamoosed, leav ing his crop ungathered and his credi tors mourning. He left no message nor gave any reason for leaving. Five balds of cotton which he had gathered and ginned, ho carried off with him.— Savannah News. The Kesult. Knowing the deep anxiety, felt by every one, to learn the result of the great contest on Tuesday, we have kept our columns open to the latest possible moment, hoping to be able to announce beyond a doubt the election of Mr. Tdden, but at this writing, two o’clock Thursday afternoon, the result is still somewhat uncertain. The following States are conceded to Tilden by all parties: Alabama 10, Arkansas G, Connecticut G, Delaware 3, Georgia 11, Indiana 15, Kentucky 12, Maryland 8, Mississippi 8, Missouri 15, New Jersey 9, New York 35, North Carolina 10, Tennessee 12, Texas 8, Virginia 11, West Virginia 5. Total 184. This lacks one vote of an election, with South Carolina, Florida, Louis iana, Oregon and Wisconsin still in doubt. If any one of these states goes for Tilden, he is elected. Should they all go for Hayes, he is elected by one vote. We still have strong hopes that Tilden is elected. Since the above was written we have received the following dispatch: [special to the eagle.] Atlanta, 2 p. m., November 9. A private dispatch from the editor of the New Orleans Democrat says Louisiana has gone Democratic by at least 12,000. This makes Tilden’s vote 192 and [elected. South Carolina, Ne vada, Florida, Wisconsin and Oregon still in doubt. Felton’s majority about 1,500. Can dler’s 1,500. Smith’s 5,000. New York, 12 m., November 8. The canvass at headquarters devel opes the fact that Tilden is certainly elected. The vote positively known for him is 219, but other States are claimed. The enthusiasm here is like a world on fire. All Republicans give it up, and the idea of resisting the in auguration is laughed at. J. The following dispatch has just been received by Mr. James Banks, Chair man Young Men’s Democratic Club of this c%, which settles the question: New York, November&kO m. The nine o’clock edition oTfSe Her ald gives Tilden two hundred and nineteen electoral votes certain. The committee dispatches indicate more. Tilden’s election conceded by every body. New York jubilant. “Hampton and a solid South” the favorite toast. Frank H. Alfriend. New Yoiik, November 8. Tilden is certainly elected. There is immense enthusiasm and great rejoicing. Lake City, Fla., Nov. 8, 2:50 a. m. Partial returns from sixteen coun ties in Flordia, a republican strong hold, show net democratic gains over the vote in 1874 of 544. Columbia and Monroe counties, formerly repub lican, elect the entire democratic tick et. Finley, democratic, elected to con gress by 600 majority. Columbia county is democratic by a majority of 195 with a democratic gain of 240. Duval county is republican by a ma jority of 800, the republican gain be ing 330. Partial returns from other portions of the state show democratic gains, with the prospect of the democrats carrying the state. Indianapolis, November 8. Returns from 240 townships and voting precincts or twenty-four per cent, of the October vote, heard from, give a democratic net gain of 476. The increased vote in these townships is 1080. Indianapolis, November 8. Returns from 260 townships gives Tilden 58,872; Hayes 57,083, securing a United States senator. Indianapolis, November 8. 260 points, covering 27 per cent, of the October vote, give a democratic gain of 753. The same ratio will give Tilden 7,861 majority in the state. Charleston, S. C., November 8. The official count in the city of Charleston gives Hampton 15 majori ty. The News and Courier’s estimate returns, covering the whole state ex clusive of Charleston county, give Hampton over 10,000 majority. That paper does not think it possible that Charleston county can give more than 5,000 republican majority and it con siders the state safe for Hampton and also for Tilden, who it believes will not fall behind Hampton more than ten thousand votes. The republicans still claim that the heavy majority in Charleston county will overcome the democratic gains and give the state to Hayes and Chamberlain. Detroit, November 8. 185 towns gives 7,452 democratic gain as compared with 1872. Milwaukee, Cos., Nov. 8. A complete democratic gain of 518. Democratic gain, as far as beard from, 1,299. The state is close. San Francisco, November 8. The republican majority in the state is probably 5,000. The republicans claim Nevada by 500; Oregon 800 ma- jority. Sax Francisco, November 8. It is likely the republicans have elected all four members of congress. Twelve of the forty-nine precincts of the city give Hayes four majority.— Nothing from the interior of Oregon or Nevada. The democrats are jubi liant over the returns from the east.— Tilden telegraphs Mayor Bryant that he is elected. Gov. Smith has pardoned Charles Smith, colored, convicted recently of burglary in Chattahoochee county/ News Items. A large number of cotton-seed oil factories are being erected in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Nehemiah Easly, of Walton county, committed suicide at Smith’s Mills, in said county last Saturday, by shoot ing himself. Hon. John H. James, of Atlanta, is spoken of for Chairman of the Com mittee on Finance in the next Legisla tare. A Savannah man very properly de clines to accept a challenge for a duel, and places his antagonist under peace bonds. The Atlanta Constitution is pleased to learn that Mr. Stephens is still im proving in health, and that he expects to go to Washington this winter. They are beginning to estimate the coming cotton crop in the South. It is said that it will vary between 4,350,- 000 and 4,500,000 bales- The Suez Canal, which has been mortgaged to England, cost $1,000,- 000. Its income last year was $1,250,- 000, with a rapidly increasing busi ness. Houston Texas had a 500,000, fire. The best part of the principal busi ness block of the city was destroyed, including the Western Union Tele graph office. It is understood that Mt. Vernon As sociation is now out of debt and has a surplus on hand. The centennial trav el to the tomb of Washington brought about this very gratifying result. John A. Lee, a native of Indianapo lis, but for many years a resident of Augusta, committed suicide at the Central Hotel, October 31st, by shoot ing himself in the head. Mental de pression was assigned as the cause. Fjtie specimens of black tea, grown by Or. Jones, at his place five hnijjps frorMßiomasville, were exhibited at the fair. Good Judges say that it compares favorably with any imported from China. Thpive largest nations, according to population, are in the order named, China, Great Britain, Russia, Germa ny, Unitad States, Brazil; according to standing armies, Russia, Germany, France, Austria, Great Britain. The city of New York collects one third of the postage paid in the Uni ted States upon newspapers and perio dicals sent through the mail to regu lar subscribers. The same city con sumes one eleventh of all the postal cards issued by the Postoflice depart ment. Chattanooga was treated to a rare spectacle the other day, by the burning of the woods and grass on Lookout Mountain. At one time the top was all ablaze, and afterwards the fire crept below the precipice. The Times say the mountain was literally a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night. According to the latest returns the complexion of the West Virginia Leg islature remains unchanged. The new Legislature, which meets next Janua ry, will be Democratic by exactly the same majority as in 1876—47 on joint ballot. The new Legislature will elect two United Stateß Senators. In Fayette county one negro is on the way to get his forty acres and a mule David Hopgood—a colored man. He has always voted the Demo cratic ticket, and a few days ago his white neighbors made up enough money to purchase him a good male, and he is to be furnished with the for ty acres. Gov. Stone, the Democratic Execu tive of Mississippi, is making an eco nomical record for himself. In 1875, under the Ames administration, the State taxes of Mississippi were $618,- 000. This rear with better schools and a confessedly better Government bver way, the State taxes are only $500,905. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune telegraphs to that newspaper the startling fact that on an alteration of figures in the books in the United States Treasury has in creased the national debt $20,000,000. The Tribune correspondent says that these alterations wereij inade while Boutwell was Secretary of the Treasu ry. The debt statement from 1863 to 1870 was put down in the official re turns at $1,099,000,000, but in the statement of 1871 it was suddenly in creased to $1,120,000,000. The inves tigation ordered by the Senate of the United States has failed to straighten the crooked figures of the Treasury Department, and Boutwell has been directly silent upon the subject. Dr. Raborg, of New York, gives a most deplorable account of the situa tion of the homeless poor of that city. He say* that among them are forty thousand vagrant children, and that many soldiers, widows, dependent on sewing for a living, are at times com pelled to seek the police stations for shelter and a place to sleep in.— With reßpect to the homeless children, he states that hundreds of them be come confirmed drunkards and thieves before attaining the age of twelve years, supplementing the state ment with the assertion that there are grogg6ries in which a child is sold a drink of intoxicating poison for a cent. Dr. Raborg personally investigated these matters, and claims to know wherefore he speaks. He adds that all the metropolitan asylums for needy children are over crow ded, not withstanding the large number left to the mercy of the streets. Cremation in Georgia. They had a real sensation in Augus ta last Sunday. It appears that they have in that city a society called “The Oriental Order of Humility.” It is secret in its workings, and hence no one outside of the organization knows its exact objects; but it is understood that one of the obligations is that every member is to be cremated in stead of buried at his death. On Sat urday last. Col. Wm. R. Suppus, a member of the society, died suddenly in Atlanta, and was carried to Augusta for cremation. In speaking of the an nouncement and the ceremonies that followed, the Constitutionalist, says: At first many of the citizens were disposed to regard the thing as a hoax, but later in the day crape was seen upon the door of Pythagoras Hut No. 21, the place of meeting of the Or der, and it was evident from the un usual movement upon the part of many that something peculiar was go ing on. Different committees were seen bnsily engaged in making ar rangements for what at first no one was disposed to credit. Application was made to the mayor for permission to cremate a human body on Broad street. Think of it. The Mayor at first was startled, but upon being shown the original will of Col. Suppus, in which it appeared that it was his desire therein expressed, to be crema ted in the streets of Augusta, the May or gave his permission. Other items of the will showed that Col. Suppus had left large sums of money to vari ous charities in the State, and five thousand dollars to the Oriental Order here, but the will is to be contested.— We learn that Col. Suppus first dis covered this mysterious order in his travels in the far East and was one of the first to introduce it into Ameri ca. At nine o’clock last night, an im mense crowd had gathered on Warren Block, in front of the Hat. Soon the members began to make their appear ance, all dressed in'the mourning re galia of the order, black gowns, hood and mask. Each member also had a light or flambeau. The members were formed in column, in the following or der: 1. Brass band. 2. Senechal and Almoner. 3. Members two abreast, four feet apart, and four feet from breast to back. 4. Sexton. 5. Pall bearers, eight in number with coffin born on shoulders in true Orien tal style. 6. Scrivner. 7. Monitor and Vizier. 8. Most Venerable Friar, who car ried a small book (of orations) the same being about four feet squareN 9. Tflie Most Potent Grand Seiguor. was under command of the Teco Oriental Marshal, assisted by five deputies. The line of mp.rch was from the Hut to Broad, thence up to Campbell thence to Greene, down Greene to monument, monument to Broad, thence to Jackson and back to the front of the Central Hotel where the funeral pile was erected. Reaching this the coffin, a handsome rosewood, upon which was engraved upon a silver plate, WILLTAM R. SUPPUS, Age 42, Died November 4th, 1876, was placed upon the pile, and the or der was then gathered in a circle, sol emn, grand and peculiar, around the mortal remains of the deceased broth er. After the singular prayer of the Order had been delivered by the Ju nior Friar, the torch was solemnly and deliberately applied to the pile, and at once the flames in forked tongues leaped upwards and upwards, until they seemed fairly to reach the clouds. The coffin was soon enveloped in flames and thousands of our citizens saw what had never been known here before—a human body consumed by fire—Cremated. Balconies, windows, housetops, trees, awnings, to say noth ing of the living mass that thronged the street, were crowded to witness the singular and mournful proceeding. While the fire was lapping in aDgry fury the lifeless body of this great man, the Friur delivered in the peculiar lan guage of the order a most eloquent and touching oration. We have never in all our experience heard anything equal to it. We would give it in full, but it is just one of those things that can be apprec:ated only by hearing it Soon the coffin began to crumble, when a ghastly spectable was presen ted to the eye. The body, blackened, burning, hissing smoking, was clearly visible, and as the stifling odors filled the air, shrieks and cries of men, wo men and children could be heard on all sides. Many said horrible, horri ble ! others said surely he can never burn again; while others cried what a consolation to his widow to know that he hasn’t got to lie in the cold, cold ground all alone. The fire lighted the heavens all over the central part of the city, and the entire proceeding from the beginning to the end, was one of the most ghastly as welt as gloomily peculiar and interesting ceremonies, which has ever occurred in this city. After the funeral fires had burned down, all that was mortal of W. R. Suppus was gathered in the urn by the “Most Worthy Keeper of the Sa cred Relics,” and the Society headed by the band playing the dirge special ly written for the occasion, entitled “He has gone to his long, long home uueooled by day, unsoaked by water,’’ returned to the hut, where the ashes were deposited in the vault and the society dispersed. A large number of our citizens visited the Hut on yester day, where the body was lying in state. We learn that Col. Suppus moved to Atlanta about two years ago, and was highly esteemed in that city as a man of morality, intelligence and singular liberality. He leaves a widow and seven small children, who are fortu nately well provided for, but who are to become the “wardens of the society in Augusta.” Such is the language of the will. Some well-known estates in the James river section of Virginia have been sold to Northern and Western settlers. Among them may be men tioned the “Grove,” near the historic Jamestown and nearly opposite the celebrated Hog Island estate. It was sold for SSO an acre. Also “Varina,” Aiken’s Landing, to a gentleman from Pennsylvania for $30,000, and another from the same State has bought a place a little higher up the river for $35,000. F. R. Ruffin’s estate in Christfield county, at and near Port Walthall, was sold for $30,000. It has already been mentioned that the beau tiful “Ellerslie” in this same county, was lately sold for $28,000 to an Ohio purchaser.—Petersburg (Va.) Post. It is stated that Hon. R. E. Lester, Senator from the First District, will have no oposition for President of the Senate. If this statement be true Col. Lester is indeed a lucky man. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
