TII E E A GLE. Friday Morning, January 12, 187". A Republican member of the Florida House Committee concedes the State to Tilden. Jim Bennett and young May ex changed shots sure enough. May was wounded. Governor Williams of Indiana was inaugurated on Monday. He made no allusion to national politics. Grant flatly refuses to support Kel logg in Louisiana, end leaves the dis puted States in the hands of Congress. The European Powers now to be very determined, and will try to press their proposals upon Turkey. A Washington dispatch says the na tional election scheme is being pressed wi'h vigor by certain New England Republicans. The returning board appointed by Gov. Drew, of Florida, is ordered by the Legislature to make a true count of the electoral vote of that State. The Cincinnati Euquirer says that a million of Democrats are preparing to be present iu citizen’s clothes at the inauguration of President Tilden. Democratic meetings held through out the country are patriotic and de termined. The speeches are somewhat threatening, and resolutions positive in their declaration. It is now reported that Senator Al corn says ho can’t stand Louisiana frauds, and will vote against seating any Senator elected by the Legislature counted in by the Louisiana returning board. Gov. Nichols, of Louisiana, has or ganized a force of militia, which has taken possession of the Supreme court building. They have not attempted to take the State House, and probably will not. from the receipts of V. chipping points during ; W’.’- -'’mm- the aiv ; 1 mill tary will be are needed out their the West and ;ie citron and the fjPw bin * t<,n s>\h: ‘The Sentii or Wright, of lowa, on is regarded as the opening fm the Republican case. He took the ground that the President of the Sen ate had the sole right to open and count the vote. It is known that the Senate will insist on the count being held in its chamber.’ ‘I warn the Senate ’ Raid Senator Carpenter (Rep.) in 1874, ‘that if it should happen that a Presidential election should turn on the vote of Louisiana, situated as that State is,and an attempt were made to use that cor nipt return, it would be followed by civil war, for no peonle would submit to the insolence of such an outrage. Gen. James Shields is to be appoint ed Adjutant General of Missouri under Gov. Phelps. Gen. Shields was shot through and through with a grape shot at Cerro Gordo, in 1847, and a large silk handkerchief was drawn through his body to clear the wound. He af terwards served a term as United Statos Senator from Illinois, and then as a Major General in the late war on the Union side. Always a Democrat, he now takes offico under a Democratic Governor of Missouri. The indications are that the unprece dented cold winter will injure very seriously the fall sown wheat. Re ports from all the best wheat growing sections are unfavorable, and this taken in connection with the fact that there is likely to be a heavy foreign demand, on account of Russia’s difficulties, she being the heaviest wheat producing country in Europe, accounts for the rapid advance in prices of late. The probabilities are that there will be more money in wheat than cotton this year, and it would be well for our farmers to take advantage of it by sowing all the spring wheat they can. The trustees of the Peabody Educa tional Fund have resolved to furnish no more money to the States of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, until the men appointed in those States to handle that fund, become honest and capable. It appears that the appointees of Chamberlain, Kellogg and Stearns, hare almost invariably stolen the mo ney when distributed to them. One David Young, a colored patriot of Louisiana, has been found guilty of stealing twenty-one thousand dollars of school money, and upon close in vestigation, it will probably appear that similar sums have been felonious ly abstracted in that and the other States named, by carpet bag officials. Yet these graceless scamps are pro tected in their villainies by the party in power. Hot. Hampton’s Letter to Hayes. No event since the Presidential elec tion in November has elicited greater sensation than Gov. Hampton’s letter to Gov. Hayes. Democrats, Republi cans and Independents have had more or less to say about it. Upon one point, at least, all Democrats appear to be agreed, and that is, that such a letter should not have been written, as it is generally believed that it was calcu lated to do no good and might possibly do harm. While we, in common with the South ern Democracy, regret that Governor Hampton deemed it necessary to write to Gov. Hayes at all, and especially to feven intimate that his people were not in full sympathy with the Northern Democrats, and would not sustain them in any action they might think proper to adopt, in order to inaugu rate the man undoubtedly elected to the Presidency, we cannot go so far as to join the bue and cry that has been raised over what, to make the most of it, was an error of the head, made un der circumstances that outsiders and those who are exempt from the dan gers and difficulties that environ poor South Carolina, are wholly unable to appreciate That Gov. Hampton has been and still is in great alarm for the safety of his people—that he believes that this is the death struggle in which, if his State goes down, she will fall like Lucifer, never again to rise; in a word, that she is now or never to be extri cated from the perils which threaten her prosperity for all time to come, we cannot doubt; then why in the name of all that is fair, honorable and just, should our people be so swift to con demn a man like Hampton, laboring under such painful apprehensions, for what, to make the worst of it, was but a single mistake amid a vast concatena tion of brilliant achievements ? “To err is human,” and even he, who has from amid the storms of battle and the frenzied excitement of a political can vass, almost without a parallel, came forth with an escutcheon untarnished— a hero and a statesman sans pear, sans rejyroche —may not have proved an ex ception to the general rule. But does justify our own people in their mM'n criticism, for this single fault, if fault it was? While we wish it to be distinctly understood that we are willing to go as far as he who goes farthest to sustain our Democratic brethren of the North and West in any just course they may deem proper to pursue to secure the inauguraAkfn of Tilden and de termined not to impugn the motives of a man so true and( no ble as Hamp ton, for one solitary blo| 0 n his hitherto HMUess record, He fi,as already, by ,'gon A so far as to ||MCi jus t rircTT\. bQrii.e Ano on as flfv tions for him or his party in South Carolina, but proposes to abide the decisions of legitimate authority, and hopes for a peaceful solution. It seems ••The head and front of his offending Hath this extent—no more.” Our own opinion is, that should it become necessary for the Northern Democracy to take up arms—an event wo hardly think possible—to vindicate the right and preserve our free institu tions, that with the entire South, Gov. Hampton and his legions of gallant Carolinians will not prove derelict, but will ever be found where honor prompts and duty calls. Lot the Northern Democracy but show that they have the backbone to prevent by force of arms, if necessary, the overthrow of our institutions in this centennial year, they will find the Southern people—Hampton and South Carolina not excepted—ready to do their whole duty. Intemperate Zeal or Folly. We have long known that John H. Martin, of the Columbus Times, was oue of the most level-headed editors in the country, and as little liable to go off “half-cocked” as any of them. In an able and well considered article, which appeared in his paper of the 9th, he utters the following words: “Some of the ‘sound and fury’ Dem ocratic press of the country—North as well as South—are now attacking Gov. Hampton, of South Carolina, on ac count cf his letter to Gov. Hayes. They censure him for writing to Hayes at all, and they find objection to some sentiments in his letter, though they are not very explicit in stating them. We have carefully re-read Gov. Hampton’s letter, and thoughtfully considered the circumstances under which it was written, and in our judg ment there is no good ground for un favorable criticism. We do not find in the letter a single sentence which even intimates any concession to the Radi cal demands in behalf of Hayes.” The Cincinnati Enquirer. This is one of the most welcome of our exchanges—in fact, wo don’t see how we could do without it; and it affords us especial gratification to fiud that its circulation in the Southern States is rapidly increasing. Demo cratic to the backbone, fearless in the expression of its views on all subjects; true as steel to the cause of right and justice ; containing news—the very latest from every direction, and thoroughly posted about almost every thing, the Enquirer is now one of the leading papers of the United States, and is truly a power in the land. To those who desire a first-class paper, from the West, we earnestly commend the Enquirer. It can be had by enclosing $2 00 to Messrs. Faran & McLean, Cincinnati, Ohio. Hell. Janies Longstreet. We regret to learn by telegraph that Gen. James Longstreet, who has re sided among us for the past two or three years, and who we hoped had, at least, severed his official connec tion with the Radical party, has re turned to Louisiana, and assumed command of Kellogg’s nigger militia, which is organized to intimidate the Conservative and Democratic citizens of that unfortunate State. The mere fact that General Longstreet has con eluded to re-enter the ranks of the enemies and oppressors of his section, and as an active co-worker with them in the attempt to still hold the intelli gent, high-toned and patriotic people of Louisiana under the galling yoke of negro and carpet-bag domination, pro claims the infamy of his action, in tones more emphatic than anything we have the heart to say respecting it. God knows it is with shame and humiliation that our duty to our read ers compells us to give in our columns even this brief notice of the fact.— With our cotemporary of the Atlanta Constitution, we prefer to contemplate the character of Gen. Longstreet as the gallant Southern hero and soldie r who barred his manly breast to the storms of battle, from Richmond to Gettysburg, iu defense of Southern homes and liresides, than the fallen chieftain who fights for hire against the people that are again struggling to free themselves from the iron heel of oppression. Since the above was put in print, we have heard it rumored on our streets, that a private letter from Gen. Long street, has been received by a gentle man of this city, denying the state ment made in the press dispatches, iu regard to his assuming command of the Louisiana militia, and that his business there was to resign the com mand as soon as he could ascertain to whom his resignation should be ten dered. We sincerely hope this rumor may prove true. Opening of the Legislature. Atlanta, January 10, 1877. Dear Eagle: The General Assembly met in the Capitol here to-day. The Senate organized by the election of the Hon. Rufus E. Lester, of Chat ham, President, without opposition. Evan P. Howell, of Fulton, Presi dent pro tem. W. jAr Harris, Secretary. A. J. Cameron, Messenger. J. B. Camming, Doorkeeper. IN THE HOUSE. Hon. A. O. Bacon, of Bibb, was elected Speaker, also without opposi tion. Hon. H. H. Carlton, of Clarke, Speaker pro tem. " 1r ■ omiih, Messenger. B. H. Miller, Doorkeeper. A joint committee was appointed to notify the Governor of the organiza tion, and of the readiness of each House to receive any communication he may have to lay before them. The Governor’s message will proba bly be read to-morrow. I have rarely ever before seen so many persons seeking some sort of position Foj almost every office or position, you will find nearly a score of candi dates or appliconts. Doubtless the stringency of the times will explain the unusual rush. Nineteen out of every twenty however, are doomed to disappointment. The Senatorial question is one of the leading topics of conversation at the Hotels. Senator Norwood is here working like a trojan, and the friends of the other candidates are busily en gaged polling the members who are outspoken on the subject. lam of the opinion that I could name the coming man, but it would hardly be fair to do so. The indications now are that the session will be a short one. The feel ing among prominent members seems to be that after the elections are over a bill will be passed calling a Consti tutional Convention and then to ad journ or take a recess until after the Convention has done its work. *** Yamlerbilt’s Millions. At noon on the 9tk inst, the will of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt was read in the presence of the family, after which Wm. H. Vanderbilt, Augustus Schell and counsel proceeded to the surrogate’s office and filed the will. The commodore leaves all his property to his son, Wm. H. Vanderbilt, who is to pay the following bequests: $500,- 000 to each of his daughters; to Cor nelius, Vanderbilt, his son, the inter est on $200,000; to his wife, $250,000 in addition to the $500,000 settled on her at their marriage, together with his mansion, furniture, plate, horses, &c. In addition to this, he leaves sl,- 000,000 to be divided among a list of names, including $50,000 to Jacob H. Vanderbilt, his brother, $20,000 to Rev. Charles F. Deems, and from twenty to fifty thousand shares of the Harlem and Central railroads to each of his grandsons. The executors are W. H. Vanderbilt, Cornelius J. Van derbilt and Samuel Barton, who are to serve without pay. Congress will count the electoral vote on February 14, St. Valentine day. The extradition treaty between the United States and Spain has been signed. ‘No compromise,’ says William A. Wheeler, and ‘No Wheeler,’ says about 3,500,000 American citizens. Janes’ Hand-book of Georgia. W e have been placed under obliga tions by Thos. P. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture of the State, for a copy of bis Hand-book, accompanied with a splendid map, bearing the imprint of Messrs. Russell Brothers, of New York city. This useful and interesting book has been compiled by Dr. Janes, in obedience to a law of the State requir ing him to prepare sucli a work, con taining a description of the geological formation of the various counties of the State, their adaptation to products) to gether with an analysis of the soil, etc.; and well has the task assigned him been performed. The outline of the geological and physical features of the State were furnished by Dr. 'Geo. Little, State Geologist, whose descrip tion of the rocks, soils, marls, eleva tions, water powers, etc., so far as the survey has progressed, are full ifeoui prehensive and interesting. The ob jects contemplated, namely, to supply the people of the State and thos* who desire to immigrate hither, with correct information respecting its resources and institutions, have been as fully met as the incomplete silrvev, the numerous subjects to he pre sented, and the fear of making the work too voluminous and expensive for general use, would allow. The Hand-hook should he secured and carefully examined by every citi zen of the State, and a number of copies purchased for gratuitous distri bution in those sections from winch we desire immigrants, by every one who has the means to do so. Both in mat ter and typography the Hand-hook is a success, and will, no doubt, largely con tribute to the prosperity of our noble old commonwealth. Nacoochek, Ga, Jan. 8, 1877. Editor Eagle: I know of no more effectual way of speaking to our peo ple in this section, than through your valuable paper. I wish to write a lit tle in behalf of our institutioif here, Nacoochee High School. Seeing the need of an institution in this section at which our children can acquire a higher education than in the primary schools, we have exerted our energies to establish such an institutioif We have just closed a laborious year, and I wish to say that there is no other similar school in all the land at winch ex penses have been as light, tions not excepted. We are ijpout to enter upon another year in thd’history of our institution, and I wislmi'-, ap peal to the people for a heal**- sup port. The institution is yojT?vand vicimry maTAqr 7** port it, but by prodding at their hoifies for pupils from a distance. We sire con stantly receiving applications from dif ferent sections for board wifcji some good family. What shall we do with such applications ? Turn them off ? Or will the people provide for them ? This is a very important item *in the interest of our sohool. You want your children educated, but there is some thing else in the education of children besides a thorough knowledge of text books. It is polish of manners—a passport into all good society. And there is no more effectual way of giv ing them that suavity and affability of manners than in bringing them in con tact with children of different sections of the country. If you will place it in our power to announce that you are pi-epared to take boarders, it will not be long ere your houses shall be full.— This is our greatest trouble. Our school is happily located. Away from the haunts of vice—no inducements to dissipation, location healthy; atmos phere invigorating; scenery inspiring. There is no spot upon earth perhaps for which the God of Nature has done as much as for Nacoochee Valley. A fine summer resort, and parents would send their children here with the hope of seeing them during summer. Now, then, provide for them and you will do a great deal in supporting the school. We trust we shall have the liberal pat ronage of White and surrounding counties. We say expenses of "pupils are light, and we mean it. We are providing cabins near the school room, where pupils can board themselves.— Some can find hoard in good families at from $o to §lO per month. We want to see every boy and girl in this country in school. It grates harshly upon us to be told, again and again, that our people are behind the age educationally. And while I have breath and strength, I shall continue to urge upon the people the impor tance of educating their children. If we educate them it wont be long ere our east will be tinged with the rose ate hues of the approaching dawn of a better day. Respectfully, : J. J. Methvix. The Richland county Democracy sustain Hampton’s government and cheerfully pay his tax levies. Governor Nioholls was inaugurated in New Orleans, on Wednesday. No trouble. The president has ordered J. E. Bryant, deputy collector, at Savannah, to “git up and git.” A part of the Russian fleet has ar rived at Charleston, en route for Port Royal. Hon. Isham G. Harris has been elected Senator from Tennessee. The Phrenological Journal. The January number of this old, reliable and ever interesting Magazine is on our table, with its usual quantity of first-class reading matter, three por traits of distinguished men and many illustrations. For solid and useful read ing the Journal has no superior, and one reason why it has not become bet ter known to general readers is, that many have come to the conclusion that it is devoted exclusively to phrenologi cal and kindred sciences, as its name appears to indicate; but this is not so; and while it is not wholly made up of light literature, it contains many liter ary gems, both in prose and poetry, and articles of the first order in almost every branch of science, especially that of health. Asa first-class literary and scientific Magazine, therefore, we can confidently recommend the Journal to the reading public. Subscription price §3 —five copies sl2- Address, S. R.

Those in want of a spirited, newsy, humorous and reliable weekly newspaper from the Capital, should enclose to Bridges Smith, and get it for a whole year. It is dirt cheap and no mistake. State News. Robberies and incendiary fires still afflict Savannah. The Augusta Constitutionalist is out square for Gov. Smith for the Senate. The incendiary is still abroad, and gin houses continue to be cremated. A large number of emigrants from Troup and Pike counties have left for Texas. The coal strike has not yet ended, and the Atlantians are still cold and unhappy. W. H, Kimbrough, age 82, formerly a citizen of Columbus, died in Atlanta, on the 7th inst. There is an old negro woman in Macon, said to be one hundred and fourteeu years old. The upper Savannah river abound ■. with wild goese, driven South by the extreme cold weather North. The Colnnabus Times says the mule this Toombs wrote Gov. Colquitt: “Old Wilkes would have given you a larger majority but the niggers gave out.” A fire in Athens was extinguished by a “Babcock Extinguisher” before the water machines could be brought into action. The new mayor of Augusta, Hon. John M. Meyer, was presented by his friends with a splendid horse and bug gy, on new year’s day. Clarksville has had 13 inches of snow, and the themometer at one time indicated 10 degrees below zero. The coldest winter in 37 years. The Thomasville Times announces the death and burial of Radicalism in that county on the 3rd inst. It died very hard, but it is very—very dead. There is an Anti-Catholic Society in Augusta, the members of which joined with the Republicans in endorsing the Independent candidates at the late election. Oue of the best hits and the richest pieces of humor we have*seen lately, is the Atlanta Constitution’s city editor’s account of his attempt to interview Gov. Smith. Mr Geo. R. Wells, of Stone Moun tain, on new year’s day, presented all the widows who owed him, a receipted bill. Good for Mr. Wells, and good for the widows, too. The election in Jefferson county re sulted in favor of the Democratic tick et, although a majority of the voters were negroes. Still the “Rads” con tend that the negroes are all Republi cans. The ladies of Atlanta, having refus ed to offer wine to their callers on new year's day, the boys struck a streak for places where hot Scotch was to be bad, as soon as the calls were made' So says the Savannah News. The Franklin county Register, au nsunces no less than ‘seven marriages in that county from December 27th to to January 2nd inclusive. Cupid seems to have been doing a brisk busi ness in old Franklin. Bridges Smiths Paper says: There are cases of actual suffering among poor families in Atlanta that would read like fiction if written up. The coal famine, which gave wood men a chance to extort big prices and place fuel beyond reach, has made a blot on Atlanta’s fair name that time can not efface. The Atlanta Constitution says Gov. Colquitt does not aspire to a seat in the Senate, but prefers the office of Govenor. Bully for Colquitt! If the people had not wanted him where he is, they would not have rolled up that eighty odd thousand majority. We need a good Govenor as much, or more, than a good Senator.
