J. H. BUTT, Associate Editor.
We arc happy to announce that we
have secured the services of Mr. Geo.
\V. Norman, as general traveling agent
for the Eagle, and commend him to
the kind attention of our friends. Mr.
Norman will solicit subscriptions, make
collections and arrange for advertising,
and any assistance rendered him by
the friends and well wishers of the
paper will be duly appreciated by the
proprietor.
When the news from the election in
Gwinnett and Jackson came in on
Wednesday evening, it acted like a
wet blanket, and the serenade and
little speech “effervesced.”
The following sentiment, which the
New York Sun lets fall in one of its
forcible and pointed editorials, is as
true as gospel. It says: “A thief
may make a benevolent use of stolen
property, but he is a thief nevertheless.
Hayes’ vote is said to be the smallest
of any candidate who has ever reached
the Presidency. His is the first in
stance on record where votes were
counted that were never cast, and
votes thrown out by the thousand that
were honestly polled.
The State Agricultural Convention
adjourned on the 15th inst., to meet
next August in Newnan. It was re
solved to hold the State Fair of this
year in Atlanta, commencing on the
15th of October. The discussions on
the last day of the meeting were in
teresting and embraced a variety of
farming topics.
The Southern Cross, the Roman
Catholic paper published at Savannah,
has suspended. It was so crippled in
its financial affairs by the late pro
tracted epidemic, that it has not been
able to recover. It seems to us that
the Catholics of Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina alone could have sus
tained the paper.
The Democrats carried the munici
pal election of Galveston, Texas, on the
sth, by nearly three thousand majority,
and elected eleven of the twelve aider
men. Many negroes voted the Demo
cratic ticket, and in one ward where
the colored population predominated,
a leadiug negro politician was badly
beaten by a white Democrat.
The die is cast—the victory won 1
Three times three for our gallant
Mountain District! She shows that
when her political status is threatened
by Radicals from without and vascil
latiug Democrats within, she is equal
to the emergency, and will not be
manipulated by political adventurers
to subserve the interests of ambitious
aspirants.
The Philadelphia Times thinks the
‘cruel thrusts of Blaine in reminding
the administration that every attack
upon Packard is an attack upon the
title of the President, was but an early
declaration of the utter contempt in
which even thosb who aided or assent
ed to the triumph of fraud cherish for
the power that has been thus created.’
Byron has said that ‘love is its own
avenger.’ The same is true of fraud,
as well as lust, which Byron miscalled
‘love.’
The delegates to the Constitutional
Convention are elected by Senatorial
Districts. This district is entitled to
four delegates, and Hall county ought
to have two of those delegates. We
suggest the propriety of calling a con
vention of the counties of Jackson,
Hall and Banks, to be held at Gills
ville, somo time in April, to select
suitable candidates to represent us.
Let county meetings be called at once
to send delegates to the Gillsville
Convention.
California may now be added to the
list of States whose electoral votes were
stolen for Hayes. An official investi
gation into the San Francisco election
frauds, shows that not less than 7,000
fraudulent votes were polled on the 7th
of November, and as the certificates on
which these votes were deposited in
the ballot boxes were issued by Repub
lican officials, it is pretty safe to as
sume that but few of them were de
posited by Democrats. Hayes’ declar
ed majority in California was only 2,-
800.
Mr. Key will ask the president to
name for first assistant postmaster
general a representative republican, in
order that the republicans of the coun
try may feel assured that he intends to
act in perfect accord with that party,
and to assist the president in adminis
tering the government in the interest
of all the people.
Mr. Key says he was invited to a
seat in the cabinet to represent the
south, and his purpose is to give per
sonal attention to that section.
Senator Bruce, colored, of Missis
sippi, suggested to the President, who
granted him an interview, that the best
way out. of the complications iu Lou
isiana and South Carolina was new
elections in those States. Bruce ex
pressed his approval of the new South
ern policy, and his belief that it would
be for the best interests of the colored
people of the South, if they, as a race,
can be removed from the position they
now oceupv of sole antagonism to the
property owners and the intelligence
of that section, brought about through
carpet-bag machinations.
The Convention.
Now that the Legislature has ad
journed and a President has been
counted in, the next subject to engage
the attention of the people of Georgia,
is the holding of a State Convention. —
The adoption of a fundamental law is
of supreme importance, affecting as it
does every citizen of all classes, and
hence should be considered calmly,
dispassionately and intelligently.—
It is the highest act of sovereignty, and
therefore should not be exercised
without due deliberation.
We shall from time, to time, present
our own views, but we desire the full
est discussion, and to this end open
our columns and invite articles and
suggestions upon the subject. Com
munications should not be too lengthy
and must in every case be accompa
nied by a responsible name.
Gen. Bob Toombs is for a conven
tion, and will, in all probability be a
delegate, if one is called. We also see
it stated that ex-Gov. Brown will be
called on to serve. The general im
pression seems to be that the people
are largely in favor of a convention,
and are taking steps to bring together
the best talent of the State to remodel
the constitution in such a manner as
will make it, as it ought to be, an in
strument worthy of the Empire State
of the South. The present constitution
is almost universally acknowledged to
be not only defective, but a standing
disgrace to our people, upon whom it
was forced by a set of unscrupulous
politicians, and at the point of the
bayonet. Let the people consider the
matter calmly and dispassionately, and
work together for a complete remodel
ing of our organic law.
The Philadelphia Ledger, a strong
Republican paper, speaking of the
manner in which Hayes was counted
into the Presidency, utters the follow
ing words of truth and soberness.—
From this it will be seen that there is,
at least, one Republican press honest
enough to expose the rottenness of the
plans by which the Radicals retain
their hold on the country for four
years more. The Ledger says:
“But that which will live in history
and in the minds of the vast majority
of the public is this: That the seven
voted to look into the evidence, voted
to take testimony, and voted to let in
light, so as to get at the truth; and that
the eight voted all the time to turn away
from evidence, to shut out the light,
and so to close the door upon all effort,
to find the truth. The seven voted in
a way to promote the great object for
which the Commission was created;
the eight voted in a way to make the
Commission utterly useless for the
principal purpose for which it has any
reason for being in existence at all.
The Senator, the Judge, the Presiden
tial aspirant, the party that supposes
the eyes of the American people can be
closed to this vital aspect of the matter
is making a signal and perilous mistake.
American poople known wbat is honor
able, fair, manly and just; and their
ultimate decisions always show that
they not only know, but that they act
upon their knowledge.”
The Savannah Morning News off rs
SIOO for the best and SSO for the S'Coud
beßt story, founded upon incidents of
the war between the States, written by
a citizen of Georgia or Florida. The
story to make not less than forty-eight
columns of the News, an 1 to be pub
lished in the Weekly News and Sunday
Telegram. The award is to be made
by a committee of literary gentlemen,
and the copy-right to be secured to
the author. The manuscript is to be
furnished by the first of June, accom
panied with a sealed envelope contain
ing the author’s name; the envelope
not to be opened until the award is
made. We suppose there will be a
lively competition and considerable
literary effort invoked by this liberal
offer of our enterprising cotemporary.
We are pleased to learn from our
Augusta exchanges, that anew cotton
factory, with 10,000 spindles, will be
erected in that city within the next
four months. The extensive and well
known granite Hour mills of Geo. T.
Jackson & Cos., has been selected as
the basis of the new factory. Large
additions are to be built, and so ar
ranged as to adapt it, iu every way,
for the reception of the machinery,
which has already been secured. The
officers elected are George T. Jackson,
President, and W. R. Clark, James A.
Gray and Francis Cogin, directors.
The capital, a considerable amount of
which is subscribed by Northern capi
talists, is $150,000. This enterprise is
bound to add immensely to the pros
perity of Augusta.
The Georgia members are amused
over the air-line lobbying done by Col
onel R. A. Alston, of Atlanta, the other
day. The State of Georgia has had a
claim amounting to about $176,000
against the government for the use of
the W. and A. R. R. just at the close
of the war. For six years or more this
bill has been on the docket. Attempt
after at;empt* has been made to pass
it. Colonel Baugh, of Atlanta, was
paid $3,000 to get it through, and nev
er got it within a mile of passing. Col.
Alston reached here Friday morning
at 6 o’clock. By 10 o’clock he had
hunted up the dust-colored bill and
got it into shape; by 2 o’clock he had
it through the Senate; at midnight he
had it through the House, and at 9 the
next morning it was ready for the
President's signature. It is the quick
est work on record, and brings a hand
some sum into the Georgia treasurv
H. W. Grady.
Profane Indignation.
The Nashville American says there
is a serious disagreement between
some Republicans and the Democrats
of the Ohio House of Representatives,
concerning the views of the Almighty.
The Republicans profess to see the
hand of God in the success of Hayes;
the Democrats quite the other way.
The Democrats in the Ohio House of
Representatives, the other day, finding
themselves in an accidental majority,
passed the following profame resolu
tion :
Whereas, By fraud, perjury, and the
most despicable pi-actices known even
to pick-pockets, R. B. Hayes secured
185 electoral votes, thereby becoming
the ruler of a disgraced nation; there
fore,
Resolved, That we are sorry for it,
because it destroys our faith in the
mercy, justice and beneficent goodness
of Almighty God, whom we have been
taught to believe was the defender and
protector of right—in this, that He
has allowed fraud, villany and moral
perjury to triumph over truth, honesty
and virtue.
The Chronicle and Sentinel has the
following sensible and timely remarks
on the above, which we heartily ap
prove :
“There is a dignified method of pro
testing against wrong, and a calm way
of asserting one’s own views. He is a
very weak and short-sighted man who
allows a trival defeat to unsettle his
faith in justice and truth. The power
which rules over this world—that
moral force which foresees and directs,
or works out results, outlasts one and
outlasts many generations of men, and
truth which slumbers for an age is not
lost; trampled for a century, it will
rise again, and yet a fellow or a crowd
of fellows, of an average of 33 years on
the earth, want the Almighty to do
things their way now under the penal
ty of having His goodness and justice
doubted. Those who are congratu
lating the Almighty and those who
are condemning are equally making
very absurd spectacles of themselves.”
Change of Officers on the Air-Line.
Information was received here late
last night of an important change of
officers which is about to take place on
the Air-Line Railroad. The Receiver
ship of Colonel Fisher expires with the
confirmation of the sale of the road
which took place several weeks ago,but
he has been acting in the capacity of
President of the road until the present
owners could take possession. This
has been done. The report received,
here states that Mr. Sibley, of V Q’
York, one of the largest stockhol to t
is President, and that Col. Fisher will 1
hold the position of General Manager.
Col. G. J. Foreacre, late Superinten
dent of the Virginia Midland Railroad,
succeeds Col. J. B. Peck, as Sup* ‘™ ll
tendent. He passed through the- u
last night on his way to Atlanta to takffj
possession. He has a fine reputation as
a railroad man, and is one of the
shrewdest men in the business.
Whether or not this means a change
of the policy of the road, or whether it
will bring about changes among the
other officers, is not known. Whatev
er changes may occur, there is perhaps
not an officer on the road who will not
regret to see Col. Peck sever his con
nection with it. He is not only a man
of fine executive ability and intimately
acquainted with every branch of rail
roading, but has shown himself to be
of the true metal by his recent contest
against the famous railroad Ring the
‘Pool.’—Charlotte Observer.
The Philadelphia Weekly Times.
This is one of the ablest and most
comprehensive newspapers published
in the United States, and we cheer
fully commend it to the patronage of
our friends, who desire a paper from
one of the Metropolitan cities. It has
sixteen pages crammed full of the
choicest reading matter, consisting of
history, science, literature, poetry,
politics and general news. Every
head of a family who wishes to place
in the hands of his children a paper
from which they may derive the
largest amount of solid and useful in
formation, should by all means remit
$2.00 to the publishers and get the
Philadelphia Times.
The Montgomery Advertiser says:
“It was thought that after the inau
guration of Hayes matters would quiet
down, but it is evident from all ac
counts that there is an intense feeling
in Washington over what the extremist
leaders call Hayes’ treacher. Morton
is mad. Cameron and the Pennsyl
vanians are raising roofs with their
profanity. Blaine has exploded, and
promises further blows. There is evi-
dently a concerted plan on foot to bull
doze Hayes into the immediate recog
nition and support of Packard or ob
struct his administration at its outset.
Hayes pluck is to be tested at once. If
he redeems his pledges as to the South
he divides the Radical party. If he
repudiates these pledges, he damns his
administration and rejects the princi
ples of his inaugural at the outset. He
cannot temporize, because the issue
must be met at once, and compromise
is impossible. Uneasy lies the head
that wears a crown —especially a stolen
one.
Evarts’ account against Hayes is:
‘For services—one speech at Cooper
Institute and remarks before Joe Brad
ley, setting forth the beauties of the
aliunde doctrine as applied to the seat
ing of a defeated candidate for the
Presidency.’ Paid in full by a Cabinet
position.
Judge Erskine and the Revenue Prisoners
e stated last week that a number
of prisoners, charged with violations
of the revenue laws, had been dis
charged by the district court at At
lanta, upon filing pleas of guilty. This
has continued until several hundred
have been released. Lest this clemency
on the part of the officials should be
misunderstood by the people inter
ested, we append the remarks of
Judge Erskine to the prisoners at the
time of their discharge:
ADDRESS TO THE PRISONERS.
It is the purpose of the court to sus
pend sentence in you cases and to re
commend you for pardon, but you may
be assured, and you may also inform
your neighbors, when you return home,
that should you or any of you come
before this court again, charged with
violations of the internal revenue laws,
and are convicted by a jury of your
country , or plead guilty, the court will
deem it its duty to send you to the
penitentiary of this state for the full
term fixed by law, which, for most of
these offenses, is for two years, and
when several offenses are charged in
the same iadictment, a term of im
prisonment in the penitentiary may
be put upon you of two, four or six
years.
This condition of things is deplora
ble. Here you are a healthy, able
bodied looking set of men. You neg
lect your business, and your families,
and make nothing by these violations
of the law. Do not believe that the
court will fail to do as here stated,
should you come here again.
The court then re<*d the law by vir
tue of which it is within the power of
the court to send them to penitentiary
as follows:
Section 5541 of the revised statutes
of the United States: In every case
where any person, convicted of any of
fence against the government of the
United States is sentenced to impris
onment for a period loDger than one
year, the court by which the sentence
is passed may order the same to be ex
ecuted in any state jail or penitentiary
within the district or state where such
court is held, the use of which jail or
penitentiary is allowed by the legisla
ture of the state to be used for that
purpose.
The court then said to them, if they
believed they would be differently
treated in the penitentiary from state
convicts they wore in error and read to
them the following section of the revis
ed statutes to remove Sec-
VH, WHITIS COUNTY. —To nil to 11
Under tnt> .^oucern.— Whereas, G. D. j
ing charge of t of Cknrlv' the
laws of such state or
The court then continued that to
persist in this violation of law would
be ruin to them and their families,that
it would reduce them to beggary. They
were then impressed by the court that,
whether they be white or black, rich
or poor, high or low, if they should vi
olate the law again and be convicted
they would go to the penitentiary to the
extent of the law.
‘The court urged them, on their re
turn to their respective neighborhoods,
to tell their neighbors what has been
said to them by the court, and ex
pressed the hope that violations of the
law might cease.
Kellogg’s Pretensions.
The New Orleans Picayune thus talks
in reference to Mr. Kellogg’s preten
sions, asking a seat in the United States
Congress. The people of Louisiana
have surrendered enough, and to have
another fraud put upon them is putting
their patience too much to the test.
Says the Picayune: “But Mr. Hayes is
not a conqueror whose strength entitles
him to demand a surrender at discre
tion. Mr. Hayes is a politician who
has been defeated at the polls, and who
only assumes the Presidential office
upon the assumption that he might
have been elected if he had had fair
play. He knows that very well, as all
the world knows it. He is a President
by sufferance and not by sufferage,
and must behave accordingly. The
South did not elect him, but it al
lowed him to be counter! in; without
its consent he never could have been an
inmate of the White House and the
chief magistrate of this Union. He
owes his exalted position to the mod
eration of the South. He is, therefore,
hardly in a situation to make his own
terms.
“Intimations have reached us that
Mr. Kellogg must bo acknowledged as
United States Senator from Louisana
before Mr. Nicholls can be recognized
as Governor of the State by the Fede
ral authorities. That is to say, we must
admit a defeat in order to secure the
admission of a victory,”
The manner in which the Democratic
and independent press throughout the
country charges Hayes with stealing
the presidency, is beginning to tell,
and the rhinoceros hides of the Radi
cals are*growing tender under the lash
that is so mercilessly applied. Of
course “the galled jade will whince.”
It is the truth that hurts in such cases.
We notice that the Radical papers have
begun to howl and cry out for a truce;
but the cry is not heeded —the fire is
kept up with unabated vigor. This is
right—“ Lay on McDuff, and d—d be
he who first cries hold, enough.”
The Constitution;i 1 Convention.
Editors Eagle: As the Legislature
has passed a bill authorizing the call
of a Convention to frame anew Con
stitution, it would be well for the peo
ple of the State, and especially the tax
payers, to at once begin to inform
themselves as to the objections to the
old and the needed reforms to be in
corporated into the new one proposed.
I fear that the main object is to make
the tenure-of-office shorter, so as to
afford more chances for that hungry
swarm of office-seekers who think they
are so capable of filling any offices
within the gift of the people. There
are so many aspirants for gubernato
rial honors, that to wait four years
some of the present crop would prob
ably die out before each could have a
chance. Then eight years is too long
to wait for a judgeship, and so on of
many other offices. If we have a con
vention, let us elect to that convention
good, faithful, honest farmers who are
not office-seekers, and who pay the
most of the taxes to support high and
extravagant salaries. Put in a clause
that the Governor, as now, shall hold
his office for four years, with a salary
of $4,000 per annum; Judges of the
Superior Court four years, and salary
$1,800; put the sessions of the Legisla
ture at four years apart, to meet every
time when the Governor is to be in
augurated; allow but fifty members in
the House and twenty in the Senate;
put their pay at $4 per day, and limit
each session to thirty days, and if they
hold over, let it be at their own ex
pense, and only pay them as milage
the actual cost of getting to the capi
tal; make it the duty of the first Legis
lature that meets under the new con
stitution to repeal all the laws on the
statute books, and give to the Ordinary
of each county the right under proper
regulations to make the necessary
change in county lines, as also to in
corporate all churches, academies, fac-
tories, mills, etc., in his county; pass a
code of good and wholesome laws that
can be understood by the people who
have to live under them—and let us
allow no time for buncombe speeches
by those who have no other object than
to make an impression to win them a
chance for Congress.
With the proposed reformation above
referred to, at least SIOO,OOO could be
saved annually to the State. It would
be well for the “dear people” to take
this matter of reformation into their
own hands, and go to the convention
and make such a constitution as they
are willing to live under and to leave
is a heritage for their children,

The agricultural interest of any State
of tho South, is the greatest interest of
any to bring about a healthy financial
condition, and if it were possible to
put 9-10ths of the merchants, 19-20th
of the lawyers and all the loafers of
Georgia into the corn-field and close
out cotton making, except in cases
where enough grain was grown first
to supply the State with bread and
bacon, in five years Georgia would not
only be the Empire State of the South
but of the world. Farmer.
It is said there are hundreds of
Southern Democrats in Washington
applying for appointments, and thou
sands of applications are being made
by letter. Messrs. Hill, Gordon and
other prominent Southern members of
Congress are of the opinion that such
a course is proper, as offices of minor
importance should be filled by South
ern men, if possible. This would in
sure us protection from the hordes of
carpet-baggers and cormorants who
have so long plundered, insulted and
oppressed our people. They think no
true Democrat would necessarily aban
don his party by accepting such office
under Hayes.
General Sherman, and many of the
Conservative Republicans of the con
servative class, urged the appointment
of Gen. J. E. Johnston for Secretary of
War on the grounds that he would im
prove the department, and an intima
tion from him to the Governors of
Southern States would always prevent
outbreaks and the consequent employ
ment of troops in our section. They
say several of the Governors were
commanders under Johnston during
the war and would heed his slightest
hint or warning.

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
says: Senator Hill has been placed
on one of the most important commit
tees of the Senate, the Committee of
Privileges and Elections. This com
mittee will be charged with the inves
tigation of the Senatorial elections in
Louisiana and South Carolina, and the
legality of the Hampton and Nicholls
governments. Mr. Hill’s eloquence and
legal attainments will make him of
great service to the country in his po
sition.
Blaine gives a very good reason,an 1
a personal one, for his obstinacy in in
sisting that Hayes, shall recognize
Packard. He says: ‘lf Hayes does
recognize the Nicholls and Hampton
governments he will disgrace all his
friends, who have insisted that he was
elected when he was not.’

This unrivaled preparation has per
formed some of the most astonishing
cures that are recorded in the annals of
history. Patients suffering for years from
the various diseases of the Lungs, after
trying different remedies, spending thou
sands of dollars in traveling and doctor
ing, have, by the use of a few bottles,
entirely recovered their health.
“WON’T GO TO FLORIDA.”
New York, August 30,1872.
D R. TUTT:
Dear Sir When in Aiken, last winter, I used your
Expectorant for my cough, and realized more benefit
from it than anything I ever took. lam bo well that
I will not go to Florida noxt winter as I intended
Bend me one dozen bottles, by express, for somo
friends. ALFRED CUSHING.
123 West Thirty-first Street
Boston, January 11,1874.
This certifies that I have recommended the use oi
Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant for diseases of the lungs
for the past two years, and to my knowledge many
bottloß have been used by my patients with the hap
piest results. In two cases where it was thought con
firmed consumption had taken place the Expectorant
effected a cure. R. H. SPRAGUE, M.D.
“We ean not speak too highly of Dr. Tutt’s Ex*
pectorant, and for the sake of suffering humanity
hope it may become more generally known.**—Chius
