Mr. Secretary Evarts looks wonder
fally like the old almanac pictures of
“Brother Jonathan.” He was born
in Massachusetts, and is, we suppose*
a full-blooded Puritan.
Mr. Tom McGill, the enterprising
and uprising railroad ticket agent, is
entitled to the credit of playing the
card that finally decided the Presiden
tial visit to Atlanta.
The banquet speeches of Senator
Gordon and ex-Gov. Brown, at the
Hayes ovation, in Atlanta, will appear
in The Eagle next week. They are
good enough to be read by every true
man in the Republic.
Cannot the Constitution ascertain
the exact amount of corruption money
which was paid to a Macon paper in
1809, ’7O, ’7l, to go for the mammoth
money measures then before the Bul-
lock Legislature ? If Atlanta was and
is so corrupt as alleged, it is about
ftyo shell tho woods for the real
V 11! louists.
pOO t . ,mm ,
and a vulgar utie tuays: “Govenp-or
leally deficient in lq or
triotism. Among you are some, t
uent men. You all had been in
as the 0 f going about amn"' 0
people of <iors without nh/tue cour
tesies of his to the gentlemen
who represented the government of
the United States, and it cannot be
denied that he did so extend these
courtesies in a most gentlemanly man
ner.”

Mr. Evarts said, in his speech in At
lanta: “Inheriting separate nationali
ties, the dream of Europe has been to
make a republic of nations, while we,
by fortune or circumstances, are a na
tion of republics.” Federalism, or cen
tralization, is wrapped up in the word
“nation;” but what does he mean by
tho word “republics?” If the States
are “republics,” are we a “nation?”
Gen. George B. McClellan accepts
tho Democratic nomination for Gover
nor of New Jersey. His nomination
was brought about by two discreet
friends, who concealed their purpose
till the auspicious moment, and when
his name was mentioned an over
whelming majority of the convention,
composed of seven or eight hundred,
went to him like an avalanche, and the
work was over.
Clayton county is reported solid for
Atlanta as the capital.— Gainesville
Eagle.
We inform the Eagle that Clayton
has the case under consideration now,
but has not yet agreed on a verdict.—
Jonesboro News.
Wo condensed the report as we read
it, and, knowing something of the
level-headedness of Clayton, did not
doubt its correctness. We are confi
dent that tho more the case is consid
ered, the more numerous will be the
verdict in favor of Atlanta.

A correspondent of the Sumter Re
publican, over the signature “Squib,”
makes this suggestion relative to tho
election of legislators : “Let us be
sure to attend to one thing—elect only
those who were favorable to the call of
a Convention.” Does “Squib” recollect
that considerably less than half of the
Democrats in tho State voted for the
call of a Convention, and that some of
those w'ho were members of the Con
tention, and assisted in framing this
“most admirable Constitution,” openly
opposed the calling of the Convention ?
We predict that “Ratification” will
get three times the number of votes
that “Convention” did, if all Squibs be
squelched. The Republican says to
Squib : “Don’t make the issue.”
“One Holcombe, who lives, we be
lieve, somewhere above Atlanta, and
whom we have a dim recollection of as
having been the champion gas bag and
bore of the Convention, is making
what he calls speeches in North Geor
gia, in favor of Atlanta as the capital.

The ‘superciliousness’ of the above ref
erence to a citizen so universally es
teemed, and so often trusted and hon
ored, is on a par with the clap-trap ar
guments which that paper is daily
dealing out to intelligent readers.

down to the position which the Bel

Democratic jingler’s Jewsharp and or

occupy. Fortunately all aspiration
has not yet been crushed out of the
miserable wretches. They aspire to
the positon of serfs. A delegation of
those indescribably wretched colliers of
Scranton lately waited upon a leading
man there and presented a petition
which contained these words:
We will bind ourselves to be your slaves, to
toil early and late as our strength will permit
for you, during me or five years, and never
will ask you for one cent of wages if you will
only give us and our families plain and suffi
cient food, such clothing as we really need,
houses to live in, doctors and medicines when
we are sick, and bury us when we die.
This is “resumption.” The choir

Our review of the recei Qot meaQ
tertainment of the over
United States, by the people- told him
gia, at Atlanta, on Saturday last, watr
placed in the hands of the compositor
too late for this usue, and we can only
refer the reader to the great speeches
of Gov Colquitt and the President, on
our first page, as to the words of wel
come and the character of the response.
Our correspondent “St. John” gives
some idea of the ovation, the cordiality
of the welcome, and the good effects of
the visit.
No grander demonstration was ever
witnessed in a Southern city; no
warmer welcome was ever extended to
a chief magistrate; no event was ever
more auspicious; no revulsion of pub
lic sentiment was ever more complete.
Some reflections on the causes of this
singularly significant metamorphosis,
and some speculative views as to its
effect upon the future of parties and
the future of the country, will engage
our attention next week.
The Governor’s Reception Speech.
Elsewhere we give our impressions
and narrative of the incidents which
parked the President’s reception in
pa- 1 >2 ta
will review, at this moment,'of the
cereL ony, from beginning to
the end, we cannot remember one un
toward event or circumstance which
abates in tho least our entire satisfac
tion. But most notable among the
incidents of the grand occasion, we
shall always regard as first and most
gratifying, the admirable address of
welcome from Gov. Colquitt. The
matter of his address was as fine as the
manner of it, and to equal that, we
had to revert to some of the superb
displays of oratory that our old men
remember to have witnessed under the
spell which the Governor’s illustrious
father knew so well how to weave.
We only report the universal verdict
when we say that in point of force,
dignity, delicacy of management of
grave matters of difference, and in a
most graceful hospitality, nothing
could have been moae effective or per
fect than this short address of Gov.
Colquitt. For one, we thank him that
while he so splendidly acted the host
in our behalf, he in no jot or tittle did
so at the expense of the dignity of his
people.
For The Senate.
It is now pretty generally under
stood, throughout the 33d Senatorial
District, that Hon. A. D. Candler, is
the proper person to be sent to the
State Senate at the ensuing election.
Indeed we have heard no other name
mentioned in connection with the race,
and are satisfied that the demand for
his services is so general that his can
didacy and election are assured.
Col. Candler is pre-eminently entitled
to a walk-over. As the author of the
Convention bill and its champion in
the House, he deliberately turned
himself out of office for the good of
his country, and when such patriotism
ceases to be rewarded by a noble con
stituency, then it were of little mo
ment whether public servants are
thieves or honest men.
Besides, no man in the District is
better fitted by education, training and
experience for the discharge of the
important duties of this high office.
Let us send him to to aid
in the delicate work of putting in oper
ation the Constitution he labored so
hard and so efficiently to have present
ed to the people.
“The Late Noble Convention” aud the
Capital.
“If any municipal corporation shall offer
to the State any property for locating or
building a Capitol, and the State accept such
offer, the corporation may comply with such
offer.”
The above is the language of the
new Constitution. It not only recog
nizes the propriety of bids for the cap
ital, but virtually invites corporations
to make offers for “locating and build
ing a Capitol.” Is it possible that the
A '’ | iii,noble Convention of Georgia’s
• .J day.tizens” committed an act of
shameful indecency? Read carefully
what the Telegraph and Messenger,
that pink of propriety, consistency and
truthfulness, says:
“But even granting (what we deem to be
highly improbable) that Atlanta can and will
carry out this proposition to the State, it
would be a disastrous and humiliating bargain
to our people.
In the first place, why make the important
question of the location of the seat of govern
ment a mere matter of bargain and sale ? Are
the claims of Milledgeville, the convenience
of a majority of our citizens, the sacred tradi
tions of the past, and the manifest propriety
of the question, all to be bought off, and sac
rificed, to gratify the aspirations and ambi
tions of a single opulent city ?
By the rood, the proposition ought, and
will strike the public heart just as it did the
sense of the late noble Convention of Georgia’s
best citizens, with ineffable disgust. This
making merchandise of the honor of the Com
monwealth should be frowned upon with in
dignation by all true patriots.”
With such reckless people as the
trio of loving fraters who constitute
the “happy family” of the Telegraph
A Messenger office, consistency and
logic are valued only as a means of de
termining whose ox is gored.
The Mountain Signal is now one of
oar sprightliest country weeklies. Ben

write as well as fight, and with his
new weapon will repel all flings and
slurs at his noble confederate asso
ciates. Wo shall watch his editorial
career with interest, and hail his suc
cess with the liveliest pleasure.

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
Hayes’ Hie-on—A Day of Pacification—
The War of the Belligerent Non
-1 Combatants at an End.
Atlanta, Sept. 22, 1877.
Editor Gainesville Eagle: The proud
bird of the mountains was eclipsed here
to-day by the ‘glorious American Eagle,’
which has ‘soared aloft’ far above her
highest flights in the past. The visit of
the President of the United States and
members of his Cabinet, to our fair city,
has been a grand event, and has given
the highest satisfaction to all parties and
all classes.
It is universally conceded that the
F!y udent, by his manly bearing and calm,
statesmanlike address, has made a splen
did impression, while Mrs. Hayes lias eaPy
tivated all hearts by her grace and k '
. - T -40 LE to
And Xam assured that the Pre
party were much pleased with of? elS ‘
and greatly gratified by their hearty^ 1 ® c
ception and entertainment.
Had I not caught a glimpse,
the great crowd, of the fluttering plumage
of the bold ‘mountain Eagle,’ who has
his eyrie in some Gainesville crag, I
might have attempted some description of
the grand pageant we have to-day witness
ed ; but knowing that his quill vjjle the i.
to tlie readers of your popular 4 'country re
far better picture than n-, e the moßt Ci
portray, I desist, and shaM, • ,
‘ . ~, an tonal manage!
self to a tew of the more pel
of the grand affair, and som anutacturin
upon the
the South. >rcan visit.
The mo vein Jilts of tlie President had
been so thoroughly advertised, and his
programme so well understood, that few
even of our most sanguine citizens had
any idea that he could or would accept
the invitation Atlanta so cordially and
gracefully extended. Hence, no definite
arrangements for his reception and enter
tainment could be made, until the very
day before his arrival. The committees
appointed by his Honor, the Mayor, did
very well under the circumstances, but
many of our people, knowing nothing of
the ‘moving cause ,’ and thinking only of
the credit of our city and the comfort and
convenience of our distinguished guests,
and the thousands who wished to greet
them and do them honor, were not a little
surprised aud disappointed that the grand
hotel that has long been the pride and
glory of Atlanta, was entirely ignored by
the committee ; and while many, like the
writer, rejoiced that our popular and
worthy friend, Col. Owens, had the honor
to entertain the distinguished party, and
knew he did it well, yet it was a fact patent
to all that the Kimball House, on account
of its size and accommodations, was the
proper place, especially for the grand re
ception and banquet. But those who
were disposed to complain forgot the fact
that a late prominent candidate for Con
gressional honors, who is supposed still
to excercise a powerful influence in the
appointment of Marshalls, Custom House
officers, etc., happens to own a hotel.’
Selah !
A good joke is told upon the chairman
of the committee. Meeting the distin
guished party at the depot, he claimed
the honor of escorting Mrs. Hayes to her
carriage. Gallantly offering his arm, he
marche with the lady proudly to the
front, \ >.en one of the street gamin,
which aL.aj_ swarm on such occasions,
shouted to his companions : “Oh, look
at Mr. Jones ! I’ll bet he feels bigger'n
he ever did before !” at which the crowd
smiled and Jones blushed.
The most prominent figure upon the
platform during the addresses of welcome
and responses, was Dr. W —, famili
arly known here as Col. Mulberry Sellers.
The writer happened to stand in the
crowd, within the halo created by the
glowing sun upon Harris’ hair, and heard
that worthy enthusiastically exclaim :
“Just look at the ineffable smile upon tlio
countenance of Doc— l mean Col. Sel
lers,” whereupon the little circle imme
diately put the Doctor-Colonel in nomi
nation for the next Presidency.
But joking aside. The visit of Presi
dent Hayes to the capital of Georgia—
this young metropolis of the South—is
one of the happiest, most auspicious events
of the times, and has a significance higher
and broader than politicians or party
leaders can give to it, in bringing about
peace and harmony between the sections.
The people who turned out en masse to
give to Wade Hampton—the Democratic
Governor of a Southern State—a grand
ovation on Friday night, and the very
next morning, led by their honored Gov
ernor and U. S. Senators, welcomed,
with open arms and warm Southern
hearts, the Republican President of the
United States, have demonstrated, with
out the possibility of cavil, that with them
the fight is over, that here “r' *oe,
good-will towards men,” and £ Atlanta pr
the Government and to the prove
reigns supreme. This fact* Iron Kiug Si
make itself felt tlirougliout rr omeud it at
and breadth of this broad land, lit>
North (which has been so suspiciom
us) will doubt us no more. The result,
it needs no prophet to foretell. We will
soon see a tide of immigration and of cap
ital flowing into our sunny land, that shall
set in motion the mighty engines of com
merce and manufacture, and brighten
with the harvest of honest industry many
a hill top and valley, now lying waste and
desolate. So mote it be.
St. John.
The Savannah News of the 2'2nd
gives the following comparison of cot
ton receipts:
The following statement of these receipts,
from September Ist to date, and the compari
son made with the four largest Southern
ports, is both very gratifying and interesting:
Savannah has received 14,594 bales.
Charleston has received 6,997 bales.
Galveston has received 5,831 bales.
New Orleans has received 5,436 bales.
Nobody takes any stock in the idle
rumor about the reconstruction of the
Cabinet, and certainly, if such a thing
did occur, no extreme Democrat like
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, would be
invited into the Administrative coun
cil.— [National Rapublican.
Didn’t Mr. Bayard say he “thanked
God for Hayes,” or words to that ef
fect?
After hearing Hayes’ speech in At
lanta, we are inclined to regard it
not only quite respectable to be a
member of his Cabinet, but quite likely
that vacancies, if any should occur, will
be filled by just such “extreme” and
respectable Democrats as Mr. Bayard.

that G. Granbury Folsom is the fore

Goods, Hats, Boots and Shoes, Cloaks and Shawls, Trunks, etc,, which for volume, variety, beauty, desirability and cheapness, will be found
to surpass, by far, any stock ever placed before the public in Atlanta at any time previous. Having been lor nearly a month past in attend
