r V H E EAGLE. Friday Morning, February 2, 1877. ,J. E. REDWINE, Editor. .T. H. BUTT, Associate Editor. Hon. Jc hn It. McPheatson has been elected by the New Jersey Legislature to succeed Frederick T. Frelingliuysen in the U. S. Senate. Another sound Democrat where he is needed. The carpet-baggers of Florida are about to strike their tents and “silent ly steal away”—that is if they can find another place to which they can steal, and where they can find anything to steal. The New York Sun says: “Within the last seven weeks the English lan guage has been enriched by anew word. It is Hayesism. It means count ing in a President by stolen electoral votes.” Considerable alarm has existed in regad to the safety of the Capitol build ing at Atlanta. We learn that it has been carefully examined by experts, and pronounced by them to be perfect ly safe. Russia goos right on making prepar ations for war, and the trouble is like ly to begin in the spring. The advance of her army has reached the Danube. The report comes now that Turkey is making conciliatory proposals to Ser via and Montenegro. ————— The grand jury of New York Court of General Sessions have presented to the court for transmission to the Legis lature an act to suppress pool selling, The act proposes a penalty of not more than two years' imprisonment in the State prison and a fine of not more Ilian $2,000. The English areliuilding more sail ing vessels than for many years past, owing to the high price of coal, which makes it difficult to run steamships at a profit. Consequently the number of sailing vessels being built is rapidly increasing, while the number of steam ers is decreasing. The Brooklyn Eagle, in pointing out the fatal influences which the office of Attorney-General has exercised upon the character and prospect* of its in cumbents, after slewing that all of Grant’s appointees to that office were failures, remarks that Mr. Akerman of Georgia “went out amid a universal outburst of ridicule.” The commercial journals from all quarters unite in saying that tlie pros pecst now for an amicable settlement .fT I -' - "“‘'“uroißy is liv ing a favorable influence in commer cial circles in their respective localities, and that there are but few merchants who are not looking forward to a brisk spring business. lien Butler says “why should I bother myself about the electoral bill. That is a matter that rests on the shoulders of Congress—let every ass bear his own burden.” It is said, however, that Ben does not believe the president of the Senate has v the right to count the votes. Nor does he like the electoral, bill, but prefers to have anew election. Tilden and Hendricks have 184 votes in the Electoral College. Hayes and Wheeler have 165. Twenty votes are in dispute. Now if Tilden and Hen dricks get only one out of the twenty they will both be inaugurated. It does seem that with anything like fair deal ing, this one vote, at least, should be obtained. A remarkable painting, ‘The Dying Saviour,’has been placed on exhibition in Leipsic by the artist, Prof. Emil Pischaf. A peculiar feature of the work is that near by the eyes seem closed, as required by the conditions of the scene, Out that at some distance they appear open and turned to Heaven. Judge Woods, holding the United States Circuit Court at Savannah, de cided, on the 2Qth inat., an interesting case involving the right of any but the patentees to sell a cotton tie stamped “licensed to be used once only.” The defendant had sold the “arrow tie” of the Americn Cotton Tie Company after it had been once used. The Court granted an order enjoining him from selling it for use a second time. So far as heard from the press of the State appear to be well satisfied with the election of Air. Hill to the Senate. This is right. AVhatever pref erences we may have had for other gentlemen, now that the choice is made, our people and press should be unanimous in holding up his hands, and in giving him every opportunity to represent the State, which no one will deny he is fully able to do. The Atlanta cotton factory enter prise is still struggling hard to get subscribers to pay up and put the ma chinery in motion. From late proceed ings of the citizens, ns reported in the Constitution, we judge that the much desired result will yet be accomplished, and that the clatter of machinery will soon echo through the now silent walls of the building. It is now conceded by many thought ful Statesmen and well informed press es that the country Las been on the eve of revolution. The danger has been greater than people generally supposed. AVhatever may be thought of the compromise bill in other re spects, it has effected, to say the least of it, a settlement, and averted a dan ger more imminent than any that has threatened the country since 1860. Mr. Conkling’.- Speech. It appears to be generally conceded : that the speech of Senator Conkling, ; on the electoral bill, was the greatest j effort of hie life, and one of the best that was ever delivered upon the floor of Congress. How much so ever Mr. 1 Conkling may be ridiculed for manner- ! ism, dandyism, affectation, etc., this l masterly production, in spite of these j defects—if indeed he possesses them — j marks him as one of the most perfect masters of debate now living. Such ■ opponents as Sherman and Morton were dashed aside with as much ease as a lion would disperse a brace of jackals, and their flimsy sophistries were exploded and dispelled as com pletely as rays of sunlight scatters the mists of morning. By him Ferry and his pretended power to count in a President has been entirely squelched, and men now wonder that so ridicul oqs a political heresy could have ever been entertained, even by politicians of as itisignificent caliber as Ferry and his Radical backers. Not only in this but in every phase of the question he has clearly demonstrated the neces sity, feasibility aad constitutionality of the plan of settlement, fortifying all his positions by arguments the most convincing, facts the most authentic, and illustrations and precedents the mosl striking and forcible. In a word, the New York Senator's speech is sim ply unanswerable, and will no doubt carry conviction to every unprejudiced mind. Among the numerous good hits which he got off’ at t he expense of those who dared to interrupt him, we cannot forbear to reproduce the following: Mr. Dawes, in his seat, made some remarks to Mr. (lonkling as to how they did in Massachusetts. Mr. Conkling said “the idea that any thing upon earth or in the heavens above could be as perfect as they made things in Massachusetts, he did not entertain for a minute. When the other States of this Union even ap proximated the ’ ejection of Massa chusetts, the timfc will have come when no problem could exist that could not be solved, even i£ contested presiden tial votes would count themselves, and the whole universe would go on by an automatic and self-adjusting process.” [Laughter.] Mr. Conkling spoke for three hours, and his speech created a profound im pression. The Great Court. } ** Judge Cliffords court as it fe called, convened yesterday compose!! as fol the Senate; Payne, Hunter, Abbott, Garfield and JHoar, of the House. Justices Clifford, Strong, Miller, Field and Bradley of the Supreme Court. They will proceed in the manner pre scribed by law to settle who is elected president. The general understand ing is, that the votes of the different States will be taken up in alphabetical order and passed upon, as the returns are .opened by the President of the Senate, and delivered to the Court. Those States, about which there is no dispute, will be counted without delay. As soon as one is reached—as Florida for instance—about which there is dis pute and from which there is more than one return, the Commission will exam ine both returns, all the evidence ad duced in support of each and decide which, if either, shall be counted. Should the Court decide that Tt.eden is entitled to the vote of Florida, it will be an end of the matter, as he only needs one vote to elect him. Should this State be thrown out, or given to Hayes, the Court will pi’o ceed regularD until all the returns are disposed of. It is impossible to pre dict at this time, what will be the final result, but it is hoped that the high character of the members of the Com mission will insure substantial justice, and the peace and quiet of the country. Our Atlanta Letter. Owing to the pressure on our col umns, and the delay in its reception, the letter from our correspondent at the Capitol is crowded out this week, which we regret. We make room however, for the following extract in regard to what is being said at head quarters about filling the vacancy in the Ninth District, occasioned by the election of Mr. Hill to the Senate. “I have heard mentioned for the vacancy H. H. Carlton and Emory Speer, of Clark; J. A. Billups and D. E. Butler, of Morgan; T. M. Peeples and N. L. Hutchins, of Gwinnett; J. N. Dorsey and A. D. Candler, of Hall; W. P. Price, of Lumpkin; H. P. Bell, of Forsyth; and C. J. AVellburn of Union, together with some others. All of those named have advocates and should a nominating convention be held, you may look for rich times and a lively scramble. AVhether any of them will make au iudependant race is not known.” Senator Jones, of Florida, made a thrilling speech in Congress on the bill lately presented by him, asking that the vote of the Democratic elec tors from that State be counted, as the “electoral certificate of the Repub lican electors was a fraud upon the people, and should not be counted.” In conclusion he said: “The petty shuffling and trickery of returning boards might for a moment mislead the people, but the sober second thought would come and dispel the mists of error.” A white man has been put in the place of the mulatto mail agent on the Athens branch road. Illness of Mr. Stephens. In common with the rest of the peo - ple of the State, and we might say of the entire country, the people of this community are in the most painful suspense in regard to the alarming re ports which have been received of Mr. Stephen’s illness. Up to the pi’esent writing, it appears that lie is still alive, though his physicians regard his case as hopeless, and a report of his death may be looked for at any moment. No fond and doating mother ever yearned with greater solicitude over the dying couch of a son, on whom she doated and around whom the softest tendrills of her heart were entwined, than does the Commonwealth of Georgia over the death-bed of her loved and honored son, Alexander Hamilton Stephens. The ('(invention. The bill calling a Constitutional Con vention passed the House of Represen tatives, on Tuesday, without material change from that reported by the com mittee—the substance of which we published last week. It is now before the Senate, and will doubtless pass that body at an early day. Aside from the consideration of the Convention bill and the election of United States Senator, the Legislative proceedings for the last week have been of but little general interest. Since the election of Judge Davis to the Senate, it is surmised that the last chance of obtaining from the remain ing four an unpartizan and unpreju diced Judge to fill out the prescribed nurnbei on the grand commission is bad. Whoever may be agreed upon, it is evident that his political antecedents and affiliations are with the Republi cans, and that the Democrats can alone depend on the exaited character of the man and the dignity of the office which he holds for the justice to which they are entitled, when the law and all the facts are duly considered. We can’t help feeling that in the hands of even a Supreme Court Judge, especial ly when that Judge was appointed as a Republican by a Republican and confirmed by Republicans, our chance for justice is doubtful indeed. Latest Washington News. Washington, Jan, 30. Manager Barnes, of New Orleans, delivered the dispatches required of him to Morrison’s Louisiana Commit tee. Senator West was examined; he was asked to divulge key to cypher, which he refuse 1 to do, unless afford to take out nriyate telegrams, aflid rmTSSfe..: r-T 1 ? "JifgffSOiiiS important interrogatories Senator West was discharged. House passed bill abolishing police board, the President’s objections not withstanding. The President stated yesterday he would not take any action regarding either party in Louisiana, as it would be prejudical to the matter of electoral vote. If trouble occurs, he will super cede present statu quo by millitary government, with Augur at the head. The vote in the House for represen tatives on the grand commission was unanimous, except in the case of Gar field, who lost thirity votes, mostly from members declining to name him. The Judges have sent to the House and Senate, under seal, their appoint ment of the fifth Judge. The general impression favors Bradley. Kennard will to-morrow produce his private memoranda of proceedings in the secret session of the Louisiana re turning board. Congressman Field, who is conduct ing the examination, is gleeful over his progress. Littlefield in purging him self of contempt, testified that he did make the changes in the Vernon Par ish returns, by order of J. Madison Wells. He refused to forge the name of the Supervisor, and it was done by somebody else. The Senate voted unanimously for Edmunds, Morton, Freliugbuysen, Thurman and Bayard, except that each candidate in voting dropped his name. Concurrent resolution adopted ap pointing five special policemen for duty at the Capitol during the count ing of the vote. Adjourned. The House passed the bill to pay Eads five hundred thousand dollars. Bayne, Hunter, Abbott, Garfield,and Hoar, elected members on part of House, Electoral Commission.

Tellahasse special to the News says that the Assembly passed bill to pay democratic presidential electors. A resolution was introduced, asking Congress for au appropriation of $50,- 000 to improve mouth of Apalachacoia river. The Philadelphia Inquirer, iu dis cussing the the joint committee’s plan for counting the electoral vote, hits the nail on the head when it declares ‘it is not a ‘give away for the sake of peace,’ but it is a direct demand upon the citizens of the United States to say whether they will allow their institu tions to stand in jeopardy while a par tisan dispute is being settled, or whether they will have their will in stantly and fully obeyed, and thereby destroy the danger to the nation.’ OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. [From Our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, D. C., Jan. 27,1877. The most popular fellow in lhe city to-day and the one most talked about is undoubtedly Electoral Bill. As pro phesied in my last, the bill has this week passed both Houses of Congress by a vote of over two to one, and be fore this reaches you will have become a law. Under it the member* of the electoral tribunal wdl be elected next Tuesday. By nearly all parties this measure is regarded as an unqualified victory of the people of the country over the counting in conspirators. If it should succeed in making Tilden the next President, so much the better for the country and for administrative reform; but whatever be the result, it will at least prove the capacity of the people for self-government. In the Senatorial elections which have thus far taken place, the Demo crats have been the only gainers, the following retiring Republican Senators having all been defeated by Demo crats: Clayton, Logan, FrelingLuyseu, Alcorn and Hamilton. Should the two Senators to be admitted from Alabama, and the successor of Mr. Robertson, of South Carolina, be Democrats, and this will probably be, the Senate, after the fourth of March, will stand Republi cans 39 to Democrats 37. No sane man can have a doubt to-day as to which political party in this country is in the ascendency. The defeat of one of the Senators mentioned above, retires forever from the arena of public life one bf the greatest mountebanks that ever graced or rather disgraced American politics, and the question may now be asked with greater pertinence than over be fore—who will mourn for Logan ? Cer tainly not Illinois. He was the howling dervish of the Senate, and in his con gressional life has probably murdered in cold bombast more innocent parts of speech than any other member ever known to that body. He now passes into an obscurity where, let us hope, he will find no returning board. As the one I lament would if, I am moved to obituate: - —# All still is now our little .Johnnie, j We can hear his roar nowhere: jg After nine and thirty ballots M He’s gone up on the golden staia- Gone to meet Georgie Boutwell. v But from General Bombast tolJen eral Corruption, otherwise General Belknap. This latter gentleman un doubtedly a close observer of the l|gns of the times, is evidently losing Con fidence in the inauguration of Hwyes, and has this week J cmanded otithe yxurtrlfß is but fair to suppose that U \-,. brother-in-law Sharpe remains iU£ ar _ shal, an acquittal will be given nap, as was done for Babcock; uL u j. should he be convicteand failure of the wires to work, a pipar dential pardon will be very neces/ary to his happiness. After the fouril of March, that prerogative will ve in other hands than Mr. Grant’s, fend hence this hastening. The committee on the powers Ttnd privileges of the House had a witness before them this week, one Deßerrfo a telegraph operator from Tallahassee, Fla., who succeeded most wonderfully in refreshing the defective memory of Hon. Zach Chandler, in regard to dis patches sent South by that gentleman during the political campaign. One dispatch he gave as from Chandler to Stearns, read as follows: “We must have Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida, by fair means or otherwise All the surrounding circumstances ap pear to corroborate the testimony of Deßerry. An excellent opportunity is now given Hon. Z. of turning States evidence and making a clean breast of the whole affair, which excellent oppor tunity, it is needless to state, he will probably decline. Senator Conltling’s eight hour speech on the electoral bill is considered by his friends the ablest effort of his life. Who stands a better chance than he for a presidential nomination in 1880? Inquiringly, Grudge. The Greenville News says: “The mortuary record of the Southern cities show that the average deaths of the blacks, compared with the whites, is as as three to two. This proportion is shown in the death of infanta as well as of adults—perhaps greater, ou ac count of the carelessness of the moth ers. It needs no saientific investiga tion to discover the cause. The simple fact is, the negro in the United States, is the negro after all. The race is in capable of self-government, and unless they are provided for by the superior race will fall back into barbarism. The race can only increase and thrive (when left to themselves,) in a tropic al climate, where the natural fruits of the climate furnish subsistence.” The House of Representatives of the Forty-fifth Congress stands to-day 149 Democrats to 140 Republicans, despite all the frauds inside aud outside of re turning boards. Only 289 certificates have been issued. The other four con sists of three from Now Hampshire, which elects in Alarch, and of one from the fourth district of California, which is hung up in the Supreme Court of that State. Giving the Republicans all four of the unissued certificates,they will have but 144 to the Democrats 149. In no event can the Democratic majority fall below five. At the National Woman Suffrage Convention Mrs. Lockwood introduc ed a resolution in favor of the assem bling in Washington of 100,000 wo men to keep the peace.

Ostrich Eggs are selling for $lO a peace at the Cape of Good Hope. Rev. Dr. Haygood, President of Emo ry College, is considered the coming man for the next Bishopric in the M. E. Church, South. A bill has beeu introduced in the Legislature to make anew county out of Coweta, Fayette and Meriwether, to be called Jenkins county. In the House gallery a lady inquired of a female friend near by: “Do you kuow this gentleman who is hugging me ? The lady replied: “Don’t talk so loud; that’s his wife iu front.” ' It has cost the American people far more in eight months not to get a President than it has cost the English people in as many years to maintain a Queen and Court. Secretary Cameron is going to mar ry Mrs. Shunk, the widowed daughter of Judge Jeremiah S. Black. She is forty years old, handsome, clever and accomplished. Her first husband was the son of the old Dutch Governor of Pennsylvania. Says the Albany News: Prof. G. A Orr, the State School Commissioner, visited over forty counties last year, made speeches in each of them, spent eight months iu the work, at an expense to the Stale of not, over forty dollars. What Stale officer can say as much? Senator Morton’s healt his said to be precarious. He walks with the ut most difficulty, ÜBing two canes, and is unable to go up or down stairs with out the help of two strong men. Sen ator Conkling cannot use his eyes now without the greatest pain, and he has grow old faster iu the last year than during the previous ten years. Governor Tilden’s confidence in his election has never for a moment been shaken, nor has he ever had a doubt that he would be peacefully and right fully inaugurated on the fifth of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eigh hundred and seventy-seven. Uncle Samuel is not in the habit cf making calculations without solid foundations. There is every reason, to believe,says the Nashville American, that the bill of the Conference Committee has been sprung at an auspicious moment. With a great deal of loudly expressed con servatism in the country, there was an equal amount of surpressed violent pooling. The dauget?was imminent, and it is almost equally certain that its passage will prevent serious trouble in the country. A letter from San Francisco warns people out of employment and means -gwm cwmfng iu tue xracmc coast lor relief. It says thousands of people who had been led to look at the region as a land of plenty and comfort, are in a worse condition than they were when in the East. All employments are crowded, and many poor families find themselves in a condition of destitu tion. The sore point with Morton, Sher man and the rest of the conspirators who anticipated anew lease of power, the control of the treasury, and the old rule under anew name, is, as the New York Sun pungently says, that there is hardly any contingency possible, con sistent with the character of the pro posed tribunal and an honest examina tion of the votes, by which HaveH can be declared President. The election in New Hampshire be ing the first to take place after the Pre sideuial contest, will be looked to with much interest. The very slight tenure by which the .Republicans have been able to hold that old Democratic State will, it is believed, be broken, and with the assurance that is now felt of the peaceable inauguration of Mr. Tilden, New Hampshire will again resume her place among the Democratic fraternity i of States. Governor Tilden’s opinion of the proposed tribunal is given as follows by a New York dispatch to the Cincin nati Gazette on Thursday: “Tilden told a friend to-night that he should accept the proposed solution of the matter, and he should counsel his friends to do likewise. He has been in constant communication with the Democratic leaders of Washington on the subject, and several of his sugges tions have been embodied in the plan.’ A New r York correspondent of the Springfield Republican says that Gov ernor Tilden is as honest a politician as they make, as square as the timber will admit of, and he thinks altogether too mnch of Samuel J. Tilden to run the risk of doing anything decidedly dis creditable. But his ability, thorough knowledge of affairs, consummate tact and pride of character, place him un questionably at the head of his class, and he has more business in his little finger than Evarts cu Morgan has in his whole body. One of the latest dodges of the Rad ical desperadoes, is a report circulated by the N. Y T . Times and Tribune, that Confederate bonds were in demand in Europe, based upon the expectation that Mr. Tilden would be inaugurated. It has transpired, upon investigation, that dispatches to this effect were in vented by Republicans, in order to prejudice the claims of the Democratic candidates. It has been clearly ascer tained that the bonds held in London, Amsterdam and other European cities are still regarded as worthless—not so valuable as the same weight of blank paper, NEW ADVERTISEMENTS, A.
