THE E AG L E . Friday Morning, November 9, 1877. CAREY W. STYLES Editor. THE EAG-LE’S TICKET: ATLANTA. RATIFICATION. HOMESTEAD OF 1877. ALLEN D. CANDLER Fob the Senate. — For the House. The Eleetions. In Wisconsin the Republicans elect the whole State ticket. The Legisla tures of New York and Connecticut were Republican before, and remain so. Pennsylvania has gone Democratic, which is a gain of one State. McClel lan, the Democratic candidate in New Jersey, is elected by 12,500 majority. Maryland, Virginia and Mississippi are Democratic, by what majorities is not yet determined; 15,000 majority in the whole State vote, is claimed by the Democrats in New York. There are 537 working Granges in Georgia. Morton was buried on Monday. The South can afford to forget him. The Baptist Herald is the name of another religious paper just started at Cumming. Mercer University has one hundred collegians in attendance. The State University not quite so many. John Welsh, the newly-appointed Minister to England, is a “merchant prince” of Philadelphia. Hon. Evan P. Howell is warmly pressed Hoy his many friends in the 35th district for re-election to the State Senate. Ex-Governor James M. Smith has moved back to Columbus, and is prominently spoken of for the State Senato from that district. If the Constitution, Mr. Howell and Mr. English are content with the gush and lick spittle they get from North east Georgia, on the Capital question! so be it. The proposed amendment to disfran chise the poor men of New Your City is stirring up a cyclone of bad blood It presents a square fight between cap ital and labor. The Franklin Register has changed hands. J. B. Wilson, son of J. T. a purchased, and then associated T. W.’ Ayers, as partner. Success to the new management. Judge Wm. M. Reese has been re nominated for the Senate, in the 29th District. He said he would’nt serve, but his people say h shall, and the probability is that he will. Dr. Paul F. Eve, the great surgeon, formerly of Augusta, but for some years past a resident of Nashville, died suddenly in the latter city on Saturday last at 6 25 a. m. Oar thanks are due Hon. H. P. Bell for the able Report of the Silver Com mittee appointed by Congress to ex amine and report upon the best means for facilitating the resumption of specie payments. Gen. A. C. Garlington is spoken of in Atlanta as a candidate for the House. He publishes a card, leaving the matter to the people, and forcibly planting himself on the “free ballot,” or “independent” platform. Mayor Huff is spoken of as a candi date for the Legislature from Bibb. That county has never sent a repre sentative so evenly balanced or so full of practical common sense. Huff will be elected, if he wants to, and Georgia will be glad of it. —♦ ♦ Ben Hill has filed his caveat for Conkling’s seat in the Senate Cham ber, in 1879. Ransom, of North Car olina, gets Morton’s seat. Well, ain’t we “back in our father’s house ?” and why shouldn’t we have the best seats at his table ? Uncle Bill Allen will not push him self forward as a candidate for the Senatorship in Ohio, but will do any thing “to see the just cause of Democ racy successful.” Verily, the old ones are all of a pattern. We have heard something just like that in Georgia. Plevna is now completely invested by the Russians, and Osman Pacha’s surrender is but a question of time. A dispatch from Sofia says that Chevket Pasha is advancing to Osman’s re lief with a strong force, but he will have to overcome superior numbers to reach Plevna, and that is scarcely pos sible. The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes a lengthy report of the scourge among the porkers of the West. The disease in some parts of the States has been a regular scourge, causing immense loss to the farmers. It is now dying out, but the people are advised to use some little care in the selection of their hams for the winter. How are we to dis tinguish the diseased meat ? The Telegraph & Messenger is mis taken in its ungenerous insinuation that Atlanta pays the country press for publishing certain Capital matter. She not only does not pay, but her merchants do not even advertise with the papers that are fighting her bat tles, on that account. We have re ceived one sls ad., and no more, in recognition of a thousand dollars worth of printer’s ink. We are for Atlanta, nevertheless. ~ CITIZENS’ MEETING. Grand Rally for Candler—Hall Endorses Her Candidate for the Senate, and Commends Him to the Dis trict. On Tuesday, after Sheriff Gaines closed his sales, the announcement was made that Hon. A. D. Candler would address the citizens in the court house, and the crowd at once moved up the steps. The day was too far spent for forms and ceremonies, and Col. Cand ler took the stand without preliminary or introduction. He proceeded at once to review his political course in the Legislature, and his services as a citi zen to his town and his section. At times he was terribly severe on his “foul aspersers,infamous traducers and villainous assailants;” and when he reached the climax of eager revenge, literally tore them to fragments and scattered them on the dunghill to die and rot of their own bad odors. The speech was a thorough vindica tion of the speaker’s good name and services from the charges of his ene mies. The charges against him were handled frankly, boldly, and with gloves off, and each one was dearly demonstrated to the audience to be not only false, but wilfully, maliciously and intentionally false. He was fre quently applauded, and no speaker ever received more satisfactory evi dences of popular endorsement. In conclusion, Col. Candler stated that, in response to numerous and ur gent solicitations for the use of his name in the Senatorial race, he|had signified his willingness to serve the district if his fellow-citizens should see proper to elect him;’but he had no disposition to thrust himself upon the voters of the district as a self-consti tuted candidate; that he respected the wishes and the voice of the people; that he had no personal ends to sub serve; that he did not intend to make the race without the endorsement of his fellow-citizens of Hall, and that if they preferred another man they had but to say so, and he would retire. He closed with an earnest request that the citizens then assembled—a court house full of them—should then and there consider his candidacy, and speak their will with He would abide their action. After the storm of applause had sub sided, the following preamble and res olutions were offered, and unanimously adopted. When the affirmative vote was taken, the response was solid and shook the building, and there was a pause; then the negative was put; silence reigned a moment, and was broken by a voice—"be ain’t here.” A hearty laugh followed this quaint but significant announcement, and the meeting adjourned with cheers for Candler. CANDLER ENDOR9ED. Whereas, It is conceded by the citizens of Jackson and Banks, the counties politically associated with Hall in the 33d Senatorial District, that by the rotation system hereto fore adopted and practiced in the selection of Senator, the latter is -this time entitled to pre sent a Candidate to voted for by the three counties ; and Whereas, The Hon. Allen D. Candler, a citizen of Hall, has yielded to the solicitations of nnmerous citizens of the District—and es pecially of his own county—to allow the use of his name, and has announced his willing ness to serve the District in the State Senate, if elected ; therefore Resolved, That we, a large number of the citizens of Hall county, in public meeting as sembled, without regard to party custom and pretermitting expression of party principles, unqualifiedly endorse the candidacy of Hon. Allen D. Candler for the State Senate, and pledge him our earnest and undivided sup port. Resolved, That we respectfully appeal to the citizens of Jackson and Banks counties to unite with ns, in all honorable means, to se cure Col. Candler's election. Resolved, That the papers of the district be requested to publish these proceedings. Morton. But the great Senator died with no stain of stolen gold upon his hands— died leaving no enemy behind him to charge that as the people’s servant he had enriched himself at the people’s expense. It is fit that this be remem bered at his tomb.—Cincinnati En quirer. What a commentary on Radicalism ! It has so debauched its leaders and its votaries, that, when one dies “with no stain of solen gold upon his hands,” it is necessary to relieve his memory of the common judgment of mankind, to blazon upon his tombstone the dis tinguishing fact that he was not a rogue. A Good Reason. Hon. Nat. Caldwell, being inter viewed on the Ohio Senatorial ques tion, said he was for Pendleton “to day, to-morrow and forever,” and added; “Because we want a Democrat, now that we are able to choose, who will honor the city, the State and the country. We want a man who was a Democrat in the dark days—a man who was a Democrat when other men who aspire to this place were looking for anew party.” That’s a good reason in Georgia, just about now. The Albany Guards won the S3OO prize in the military contest at the Thomasville Fair, and the News is wild with delight. It literally screams for joy Hear it:— “The Judges consult; the companies form to hear the decision—the Albany Guards have it! Shouts rend the air and huzzars ascend. PBOUD FLAG of the Guards, wave, ever wave in peace as in war. Ever let your folds be kissed and caressed by bright, vic torious suns; ever let your eagle scream victory. The South ought and must have a well-organized militia. More depends on it than we think for. Let the Guards be foremost; let the proud flag, presented by gentle hands, ever be ready to wave. "Wave Munich; all thy banners wave.” The Georgia Marshalship. A correspondent, supposed to be W. D. Trammell, of Griffin, writes to & Co lumbus paper a curious version of the last play for the Marshalship. He says the President had determined to appoint Hon. W A Huff, and was then set upon by the friends of the other ap plicants—mostly those of Fitzsimmons and W T Trammell; that extracts from Mayor Huff’s official documents, and personal correspondence in controver sy with persons in the city of Macon, were produced and read to the Presi dent, “showing that Huff was not a sound Democrat;” and that this devel opment caused the President to change his mind; that this action narrowed the contest to two applicants—Fitz simmons and Trammell—and that Mr. Stephens’ influence for the former se cured the appointment. He further states that the Georgia Senators and six Representatives were present when the extracts and other proofs of Huff’s “unsound Democracy” were presented, and clearly intimates that they aban doned Huff on that account. The curious part of the business lies in the discovery, by these distinguished Georgians and the applicants fop the J place, that Huff was “not a s§und Democrat ” We happen to know all about Huff’s Democracy. With his po litical principles'and motives of politi cal action, we are as familiar as we are with those of our most intimate asso ciates. In municipal affairs be ignores party lines and affiliations; but in State and national politics, he was and is as true to the cause of Democracy, the South, and the whole country, as any man in or out of Congress from Georgia, or any other State, and has perhaps done more to sustain the party than all the other fifty-eight applicants for the Georgia Marshalship, combined with three or four of the Representa tives thrown in. If the version given by the corre spondent has'any truth in it, Huff fell a victim to foul play, treacherous de ception and damning doggisbness. The President was imposed upon by trickery, conspiracy and falsehood. We would apply none of these epi thets to Col. Fitzsimmons. We be lieve him to be an honorable gentle man, and above the low practices by which the correspondent says Huff was defeated. Immigration. At the close of the late war, the fu ture prospects of Georgia appeared so unfavorable that numerous Southern ers were induced to emigrate to Brazil and other parts of South America, and to other States South and West, with a view of bettering their condi tion. Within a few years these same persons have returned to their old homes, being perfectly satisfied that the Empire State of the South pos sesses natural and social advantages equal, if not superior, to those of any portion of the habitable globe. So nu merous and substantial are those ad vantages, that we are confident a large immigration to Northeast Georgia will occur, so soon as they are made generally known. With a view of inducing immigra tion, we propose to present a cursory view of the progress toward re-estab lishment which has taken place since the close of the late misunderstanding. Just previous to the late war we had reached that stage of development and prosperity, which foreshadowed a fu ture of vast usefulness in the various departments of the arts and sciences. The results of the war were such as to induce the belief that half a century would elapse before the South would regain its prosperity, and present to the world the unusual sight of a people resurrected and purified by their _ very misfortunes. During the past month, some of the most distinguished statesmen of the age have borne witness to the fact that the sons of Georgia, who bore their part so nobly in the conflict, have turned their swords into plowshares, and by their indomitable energy and perseverance, have not only restored their homes to their former beauty, but developed the resources of the State to such an extent as to prove that capital and labor, properly ap plied, will, in a few years, place the State of Georgia among the foremost in the Union in point of wealth. If, without the aid of capital, and by the mere force of will, such results have been achieved, what may we ex pect if capital is brought to bear, and the vast mineral, agricultural and manufacturing resources of the State are developed ? Northeast Georgia possesses a mine ral-bearing belt, containing gold, sil ver, copper, iron, lead, bismuth, and almost all the metals and minerals of the world, together with agricultural and manufacturing resources unsur passed by any other State in the Union. Immigrants visiting this section of Georgia will find a salubrious climate, a soil of vast richness, and a hospitable reception. We invite them to come and judge for themselves. Officers of the Grand Ledge. At the annual convocation of the Grand Lodge F. A. M., on the 30th ult., in Macon, the following Grand Officers were elected for the ensuing Masonic year: James M. Mobley, Grand Master; J. I. Wright, Deputy Grand Master; James W. Taylor, Senior Grand Warden; James M. Rushin, Junior Grand Warden; Jos. E. Wells, Grand Treasurer; J. Em mett Blackshear, Grand Secretary. A negro outraged a white girl fifteea years old, at Yorktown, ville, N. Y., one night last week. 'The I physicians say the girl will not recov er, but the negro still lives. That country loves the negro, and it is prob able this offender will find apologists and protectors. A different fate was that of an Ala* bama colored fiend. Owen was taken from the jail at Seale ; Sta tion, and his taking off is thns ac counted for : •‘He confessed that what Mrs. E!ling ton had stated in regard to his crime was true and correct iu every particu lar; that this was the fifth crime he had committed, of which death is the penalty; that he had raped four negrjL women and one white; that he hacf shot four men, one white and threjg black. As to his outrages general!- upon negro women, he said they wsre bad enough. He confessed furthp# that the twenty-one men under prose* cution as Ku Klux in Atlanta were en tirely innocent of the offense. It was a trumped up charge, and he was ti* receive a bribe for swearing falselw against them on their trial. He started further, that a woman had enticed him into this prosecution, and a ls’i yer in Atlanta, whose siame'Aie did ii * give, was to have him of tl*| bvay after the trial to save bim fro’l. Violence if' the prosecution failed. H: was in Atlanta awaiting the trial, and intended to appear against the meiftt but said Detective Jones was too sharp for him. He was hung about a hundred yard* from the scene of his crime, at 10 o’clock a. m. It had been determined to execute him on that spot, but as it was between two pine trees and no limb was convenient, a scaffold waft erected near by. It is estimated near three hundred people were pres ent, mauy of them colored. The ne groes were clamorous for his death, and most of them insisted on his being burned. The prisoner shuddered at the threat of such a death, and on the day before he was taken from the jail here said he wanted to be removed to another county, as he had heard they-, burnt people sometimes in this county. He begged and entreated for any mode of death but that, and after he had made a confession a vote was taken r and the majority decided for hanging. A stake bad already been put in the ground, and a quantity of lightwood cut. Mrs. Ellington desired that he should be burned. Congressmen Candler and the Repeal Dill. [The Constttntion.l When the bill to repeal the useless, if not damaging, resumption act first came to vote in the house our immedi ate representative voted with the ma jority. He has since steadily voted with the red-hot resumptionists. We regret his sudden conversion. He be gan well and should have held out steadfast to the end. We thank him however for the one vote that he cast in favor of a repeal of the iniquitous third section. It came in when the ; friends of repeal were the weakest. The anti-resumption vote has increas ed since that time, and Mr. Candlei-’s vote is not needed to put the bill have the other votes’from this State t<s fall back od, all of which are cast on the right We respect Mr. Candler’s sincerity of motive, and congratulate ourselves that one adverse vote in the house has not affected and probably cannot affect the fate of the bill. The Silver bill passed the House on Monday last by 163 to 34. New En gland voted solid against it, and the South, with the exception of five voted for it. Swann, of Maryland; Leonard and Gibson, of Louisiana, Scleiker, of Texas and Stephens, of Georgia, voted with the bondholders and against the people. The Resumption Repeal bill was taken from the Committee and made the Special order until Tuesday next when the vote will be taken. It will pass the House by a large majority, and there is but little doubt that it will get safely through the Senate, but a veto is apprehended, vrhich will kill the bill, as a two-thirds vote is impos sible in either house. The Silver bill will help amazingly. It is estimated that it will give to the country at least one hundred millions additional circulation of legal tender money. The Gwinnett Herald tells a sad story of the accidental killing of a little boy named Mitchell, twelve years old, by his little sister, two or three years younger. She threw a stone at her brother and struck him on the head. He died that evening The gin house of C. A. Powell was burned by an incendiary, last Monday night.... The revival at Duluth continues, and is growing in interest Athens is competing successfully with Atlanta for the cotton crop of Gwinnett...... Gwinnett babies average 11 pounds. Mr. Henry W. Grady’s interview with Gen. Longstreet, as to the battle of Gettysburg, has been published in the Philadelphia Times, and the Con stitution is writing it up as the best and most graphic account of the “fatal blunder” yet published. We cant get the Times to exchange with us, and shall, therefore probably never see the General’s version of the great battle. The Elberton Gazette has adopted the cash-in-advance system. No sub scriber can get the paper till he planks down the scads. It does seem that to this complexion it must come at last. Thfe credit system is simply death to the paper, and dissatisfaction to the subscriber. A practical joker living near Dan bury, Conn., stole a scarecrow from a farmer’s cornfield last week,and leaned it up against the owner’s fence. The owner, supposing it to be a burglar, sat up all night, waiting for it to at tempt to enter the house. Oliver Perry Morton. “I am dying! worn out!” These were the last words of iho chief of the “bloody shirt” clansmen. Let ths Jesuit’s creed be carved : upon his tombstone, “The end justifies the means,” and underneath the following extracts : [Frbm the New York Sun.] We cannot say that Mr. Morton was a statesman. He was cunning, wary, and unscrupulous—a politician of. wonderful fertility and success; but those large views and firmly held prin ciples which are indispensable in the higher type of public man were not his. He aimed always at the advant age of the moment, and was just as ready to gain his ends by means which a high conscientiousness would reject as by any others. That a thing was ..tricky or immoral did not make it odi ous in his eyes provided it could be made useful in politics. Yet he was a patriot. He loved his country sincere ly. Every fibre in his nature was American, even when he resorted to doubtful measures. The good of the country he really believed could only be promoted by the success of the party to which he was devoted; and while he j was carried away by the intensity of I his party feeling into regions and into ■"actions where a man of nobler nature would not consent to go, there was yet such an abounding force in his mind and such a frank demagogism in his conduct that he commanded a certain kind of respect even from those who condemned him. [From the Cincinnati Enquirer.] His was an unique character. He leaves no counterpart behind. He had none while living. Thad Stevens, Ben Butler, Blaine, are almost the only men of this generation with whom he can be compared as of the same class. Thad Stevens was of far loftier impul ses, and of higher command. Both would trample the Constitution be neath their feet, if need be, to accom plish their purposes. Ben Butler has a finer legal training, a superior cun ning in details, more adroitness, is more alert and ready; but Butler lacks the faculty of commanding men to his views that Morton possessed. Blaine, with all of his brilliancy and audacity, and with a similarity of temparament, has not the sustained power which for twenty years has marked the career of great apostle of Republicanism in the West. Morton never gave to his party a noble idea; but he had a match less faculty of summoning men to the continued advocacy of ideas that had been bequeathed by others. He was a splendid animal. Fearles, aggressive, tireless, an organizer of marvelous skill, with an executive faculty beyond that of nearly all his fellows, he mould ed men to his will as a man of vast control does always. He only saw the end; the means must be found. He had little respect for the established order. He had little regard for consis tency. He was almost supreme among politicians, for he had bound less reverence for the party machinery. He did not rule by eloquence or ten derness. He was not a moral leader He had few or none of the qualities of Martin Luther or Lloyd Garrisson. Measures were his means, not his ends. The party success was the prize of his high calling. He appealed to passion ate prejudice, not to the gentler and nobler impulses. He was utterly des titute of the judicial faculty. He aid only see one side of the shield. He was essentially a partisan. The sweet sway of reason was not the foun dation of his force, he dared men to do differently. He was incapable of being beaten. When knocked down, he rose smiling. He was without the subtle power of the man of culture, and he had not the charms of the cul tivated orator; but no man’s speeches were more potent. They were prag matic, plain, forcible, eminently direct. He arrayed all the facts on one side. He piled them up till their shadow ob scured the facts opposing. He was, therefore, a igreat advocate, and, by the same token, a giant as a party leader. He won men to himself, not by the delicate threads of affection, but by the respect which human brute force, a strong animal nature, the qual ity which the ancients called “forti tude,” inevitably commands. He would advocate either side of a great public question to be in harmony with his party. Almost unaided he kept the war alive years after it was ended that his party might live. There are many men in the Republican party whose death would cause more person al sorrow; none whose decease would spread abroad more party regret. From Georgia to Texas. [Griffiin News. We have just seen a letter from a gentleman in Texas, addressed to a kinsman of his, who is a well known citizen of Spalding county. This gen tleman was born and reared in Geor gia, and lived in this State about forty years. At the beginning of the war worth $30,000. Soon after the war, he, with his wife, removed from Talbot county to Texas. His wife soon be came sick and died. His property was lost; and from affluence he descended to the lowest depths of poverty. At this stage of life, he writes for help to his kinsmen in Georgia, in a letter dated Eastland City, Eastland county, Texas, September 11, 1877. From this letter we make a short verbatim extract; “I am hardly able to work. I bor rowed a wagon and carried my family eighty miles east to pick cotton for bread. lam now in Eastland City, on my way back to my family to try to help them pick cotton for bread. We had a killing frost on the tenth of June, that killed our corn. I had nine acres in corn; it was promising. I will about make the seed I planted. I have a wife and four children (he had mar ried a second time) and nothing for them to eat. I now ask for a little help, if you please; my children will perish without help.” And we have just seen a letter from a distinguished Georgian, who moved to Texas a year ago, "and now regrets his venture. The health of his family is impaired, and he is resolved to return to his mother-land this winter. Gaines ville will give him a cordial welcome, and divide her last crust, if, as he in timates, he determines to make her his future home. Mr. E. B. Starke, one of Elbert counties cleverest young men, had his left arm so lacerated in a cotton gin, last week, as to require amputation a little below the elbow.
