THE EAGLE'S TICKET:
ATLANTA.
RATIFICATION.
HOMESTEAD OF 1877.
ALLEN D. CANDLER For the Senate.
Col. J. E. REDWINE For the House.
Hon. H. P. Bell’s great speech in the
House, on the bill to repeal the Re
sumption clause, will appear in the
Eagle next week.
Last week we nominated Bob In
gersoll for the Chancellorship of the
Georgia State University, and he at
once declined the German Mission.
Our intelligence from Union, Towns
and Rabun counties, indicates the
election of Col. C. J. Wellborn to the
Senate. Col. Haralson seems to have
the inside track for the House, in
Union.
The Governor has appointed next
Thursday, 29th inst., Thanksgiving
Day, as will be seen by proclamation
in this issue. The same day has been
appointed by the President for nation
al thanksgiving.
The people of Georgia need enter
tain no apprehension that Hon. Allen
D. Candler will be defeated in the
present Senatorial race in the 33d dis
trict, or that his good name will suffer
from the slanderer’s slimy scurrility,
defamation and detraction.
Mr. Kimsey will not be allowed a
walk-over in White, for the Legisla
tore. A young man named Thomas
Thompson is on the track, and we
learn that Judge Dean, W. L. Williams
Esq , or some other strong contestant,
will enter the field this week.
The Rtissians captured Kars by a
desperate fight that lasted all night of
the 17th. The Turkish loss was 5,000
killed and wounded, 10,000 prisoners,
300 cannon, and a large amount of
store. The Russians lost 2,700 men
in killed and wounded.
Col. 11. H. Jones, of the Telegraph
& Messenger, failed to get the nomi
nation for the House, in the Bibb pri
mary. We regret our friend’s defeat,
for he not only deserved the compli
ment, but would have made a first
class member. Probably his people
overrated the corruption of Atlanta,
and were afraid to expose him to its
influence.
Errata.— ln the letter of Mr. Huff,
published on first page, the following
corrections are necessary: Near end
of second paragraph, last column, in
stead of “before the committee,” read,
“before the caucus held at Mr. Ste
phens’room;” in the next to the last
paragraph, instead of, “and he refnsed
to act,” read, “and he, in the emer
gency, refused to act.”
Col. A. 1). Candler.
The prospects are that the 33d Sen
atorial district will be represented
in the next General Assembly by Hon.
Allen D. Candler, of Hall. Col. Cand
ler is opposed by Mr. John I. Chea
tham, of the same county, who is
chiefly known to fame as an opponent
to Atlanta in the capital contest, but it
is not probable that his opposition will
amount to much—at least, not from
present indications. Col. Candler is
energetic, progressive and capable, and
will represent his section thoroughly
and efficiently. That he will be elected
we have no sort of doubt, but it is to
be hoped that his majority will be over
whelming.—Constitution.
Evan Howell will catch it for that.
Frittering 'limn selves Away.
The Democrats of the House slipped
up on the army bill. On Saturday
last the vote was taken on the Senate
amendments, two of which increased
the army to 25,000, and the cavalry
regiments to one hundred men in each
company. Fourteen Democrats voted
with the Republicans, and five were
absent drunk. These were Saylor,
of Ohio; Walker and Douglas, of Vir
ginia; Clark, of Kentucky; and Moore,
of Massachusetts. Their absence cost
the country about a million and a half
to the man.
Is it possible that Col. John I Chea
tham is willing to remain in the field
as the candidate of sponsors who tra
duce his honorable opponent, black
guard his neighbors, and outrage pub
lic decency in advocating his election ?
He is esteemed as an honorable gentle
man, an honest man, a truth-loving
Christian citizen. Can it be that he
is so blinded by the dazzling glitter of
the Senatorial wreath, that he cannot
see the paling of his own bright es
cutcheon in the shadows of the reck
less abuse and mendacious slanders
heaped upon his competitor and
friends by his own active allies ? Does
he not know that American politics
holds the candidate responsible for
the utterances of his chosen cam
paigners ? Qui facitper alium, facit
per se, applies as well in politics as in
law, and we respectfully admonish
Col. Cheatham to beware of the result.
Now and Then.
It is cnly now and then that such men as
Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and
Ex-Gov. Brown of Ga , endorse a medicine
for the throat and lungs, and when they do, it
is pretty good evidence that the remedy must
be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lung
affections. They recommend the Globe
Flower Cough Syrup, and their testimonials
are to be seen round the ten cent sample bot
tles of the Globe Flower Syrup, for ealft by
Dr H. S. Bradley. A sample bottle relieves
the worst cough and will cure sore threat.

Mr. HnfPi Letter to Mon. John B. Gor
(loii and Others—His Application
to the President. Etc.
We offer no apology for filling so
much of our space with the letter of
Hon. W. A. Huff to Hon. John B. Gor
don and others. The short articles
that appeared in the two last issues of
the Eagle on the subject of the Mar
shalsbip, entitle Mr. Huff to this cour
tesy; and we extend it to him, not
only as a matter of duty, but because
it is our pleasure to afford him the am
plest opportunity to place his vindica
tion before the whole people of Geor
gia.
Besides, the subject is one of much
interest to our people just now, and
the letter so completely uncovers the
‘ true inwardness” of Huff’s defeat and
Col. Fitzsimmons’ success, that it|be
oomes our duty as a journalist to pub
lish it as a part of the history of the
times
The letter is written in Mr. Huff’s
usual racy, vigorous and graceful style,
and aside from all personal attractive
ness, it will be found intensely enter
taining to the general reader; while to
those who know or care anything of
the relations existing between Hons.
Hill and Gordon, or Hill and Ste
phens, it will form a chapter in the
events of the day exceedingly instruc
tive in the “ways that are dark and the
tricks that are vain.”
We shall take great pleasure in lay
ing before our readers the reply of
Gen. Gordon as soon as it is received.
That he will explain his part of the
transaction, and afford Mr. Huff the
“redress” he seeks, his friends will not
pause to doubt. The letter presents
an enormous grievance, and Gen. Gor
don is too chivalric in his knightly
honor, and too noble in his sublime
magnanimity, to withhold the amende
from one whom he has aggrieved. We
should deplore any effort by Senator
Gordon or either of the five Congress
men who joined him in the protest to
the President, to evade the odium or
shrink from the honor (?) of Mr. Huff’s
taking off. The appeal for justice is
manly, courteous and dignified, and
Mr. • Huff’s position, character and
power entitle him to the boon he
craves.
Our subscribers are advised to file
this copy of the Eagle for reference.
After awhile they will be wanting to
know where the spark came from that
kindled the fire.
huff’s application.
Since writing the foregoing, Mr.
Huff’s original letter of application—
the actual paper itself, as filed in the
Department of Justice at Washington
—has been placed in our possession,
and we append it. This we do for the
reason that we were informed. ~ a
whose statement We Cota a-'
not question, that “he had a copy of
the application and accompanying rec
ommendations, and that Huff applied
as a Republican,” etc.; which state
ment we referred to in the last issue of
the Eagle, and thereby did Mr. Huff a
monstrous wrong. The facts now be
fore us imperatively demand the with
drawal of last week’s article, except so
much of it as relates to the source of
our information, and to hnmbly crave
Mr. Huff’s pardon for permitting any
living mortal to shake our confidence
in his fidelity, integrity and honor.
Here is the application:
City of Macon, Mayor’s Office,
Macon, Ga., May 7, 1877.
His Excellency, 11. B. Hayes,
President U. S., Washington, D. C.:
Sir —l have the honor to present
this my application for (he office of
United States Marshal, and refer, by
permission, to Hon. B. H. Hill. I am,
very respectfully,
Your ob’t servant,
W. A. Huff.
This document comes to us in its
original official jacket, with the original
official endorsements, over the signa
ture of the President’s private secre
tary, and is the only paper ever sent
to the President by Mr. Huff, or au
thorized by him, in relation to his ap
plication for the Marshalship.
The Main Question.
The discussion of the capital ques
tion has taken a wide range. All man
ner of side issues have been lugged in,
while sophistry and bravado have been
employed without stint, to dupe the
unwary and corner up the true point
at issue. That the people of Atlanta
should desire to retain the capital in
their midst, is natural, and it is to be
expected. That the oeople of Mil
ledgeville are equally as honest in their
efforts to secure its removal back to
the proper location, no one can doubt.
Men are governed by their interest.
Only the few rise above selfishness and
seek the good of the greatest number.
Convince a man that it is his interest
to look in a certain direction, and he
will listen. Therefore, the question of
removal—stripped of all it,B verbiage
and special pleas—narrows down to
one of economy.—Telegraph & Mes
senger.
Wo are glad to be able to accord
with the Telegraph & Messenger in
the above. As an illustration of the
fact that “men are governed by their
interests,” we might easily show that
Macon would be benefited by the re
moval of the capital to Milledgeville,
as we have before done; and we might
add that it would be greatly to the
benefit of the Telegraph & Messenger
directly, apart from the benefits to the
hotels and merchants of Macon, that
being the nearest daily paper to Mil
ledgeville. It would certainly take
but little argument to convince the
Telegraph & Messenger that it is to
its interest to have the capital as near
Macon as possible
We do asseit that we have no “sel
fisiin fiss” ih flie question of the removal j
of the capital, above which to rise.
Our interest in it extends only so far
as ouf interest in the good of the State
as a whole. We cannot see how it is
possible for the location of the capital
at either Milledgeville or Atlanta to
benefit or injure us a picayune, except
so far as it affects any citizen of the
State.
A few years ago we would have re
stored the capital to Milledgeville, not
because it was a more eligible place
than Atlanta—not for the sake of
economy—but because it was moved
thence without the consent of the peo
ple of Georgia. It was a sentiment,
and not reason, that influenced us
While the capital was at Milledgeville
we would have moved it to Macon had
it been in our power, because we be
lieved the latter the more eligible
place.
We want the capital to remain in
Atlanta simply for the sake of economy
and convenience—economy for the
tax-payerß of the State, and conve
nience and economy of those whose
business may call them to the capital.
The Telegraph & Messenger keeps
standing an array of figures to prove
that Milledgeville is nearer the geo
graphical center, the center of popula
tion, the center of the railroad system,
and the center of wealth, than Atlanta
—an herculean effort to prove that
which no well-informed citizen of the
State would pretend to deny. But the
editors of that paper well know that
these undisputed facts do not prove
Milledgeville more accessible to the
whole State than is Atlanta; and the
surprise to us is, that these editors
imagine that they can gull the people
of Georgia with such figures.
It has been proven by figures that the
average mileage from every part of the
State is less to Atlanta than to Mil
ledgeville, and this fact renders the ar
gument of geographical and other cen
ters, bosh.
Economy and convenience are indis
putably in favor of Atlanta. Of the
“fathers” whose eloquence resounded
in the *‘halls” of Milledgeville, Toombs,
Jenkins, Stephens, (politically), Hill,
the Reeses, and many others, still live
to raise their voices for Atlanta as the
permanent capital of the State. Cer
tainly the “sentiment” of these men
toward the halls where they were ini
tiated as legislators must be strong
and tender, and yet, for the good and
future glory of the State, |their senti
ment yields to their judgment, and
they say that Atlanta ought to be the
capital.
“But the Radicals moved the capital
to Atlanta.” Yes; and the Radicals
inaugurated the present pubiie-school
system in Georgia. Why not abolish
that because of its origin ? The argu
ment is as strong against one as the
Let us not “cut off our noses to
spite our faces,” but take all the good
we can get, even though it come from
our enemies.
Wild Lands of Georgia.
The Cartersville Express, in a recent
issue,finds fault with the Act authoriz
ing the sale of wild lands on which the
taxes have not been paid, and states
that mistakes have been made in the
numbers of the lots, in many instances,
and that the State has received the
taxes for lands thus wrongly num
bered.
A greater mistake (?), it seems to
us, has been made in the execution of
the Act. The Act says that “the Comp
troller General shall, for thirty days,
make advertisement of the same [wild
lands not given in for taxes] in one
newspaper at the capital of the State,
and require in said publication the
owners of said lands to com 9 forward
and give in and pay taxes on said
lands,” etc. And the Comptroller, in
his notice, says: “This advertisement
is intended to give owners an opportu
nity to pay the tax on the land,” etc.
But how is this intention beiDg carried
out? Contrary to the expressed in
tention of the Act, and of the Comp
troller’s advertisement, parties who
are not “owners,” and who have never
had a shadow of title to the lands,
have gone to the Comptroller and paid
the amount of taxes due, and will thus
become “owners” of the lands unless
the real owners redeem said lands
within one year “from day of sale,” the
Act says; but there has been no “sale,”
and the “owners” can probably recover
their property only by costly law
suits, if at all.
If it be granted that those who do
not give in and pay their taxes ought
to lose their property, the State incurs
a heavy loss, the profits of which ac
crue to these land grabbers.
In Cherokee county 316 lots of land
are advertised, for more than 200 of
which there have been no claimants
for many years, and on which no taxes
have been paid. Some of these lands
are very valuable, and the whole, if
publicly sold, would bring more than
$20,000 into the State treasury, as es
cheat money; but as it is now working,
this property goes into the possession
©f these land-grabbers and their co
adjutors, who pay merely the amount
of the tax fi. fas.
In regard to the mistakes in the
numbers, typographical or otherwise,
we have been informed of one man
who was notified by one of these land
grabbers that he (the real owner) was
on land belonging to said land-grabber.
The real owner asserted that he had
been paying taxes on his lands for
more then thirty years, and had the
tax receipts. On examination it was
found that he had been giving in and
paying taxes fin the wrong nuiiib&rß.
What is to be done In this and similar
instances?
We have heard the names of the
parties who have bought up the unre
turned lands of Cherokee, Pickens and
Hall counties, and they will certainly
have a “fat thiDg” of it, if their claims
hold.
We may be misin'ormed as to the
real facts; but it behooves the Comp
troller General to explain whether or
not our statements be facts.
Since the foregoing was written, the
Cartersville Express, containing an ex
planatory letter from the Comptroller
General, has come to hand. In this
letter Mr. Goldsmith says: “All mis
takes, of whatever kind, may be cor
rected at this office, on written or ver
bal application, no matter in whose
hands the fi. fas. are, and this will
continue for twelve months after said
lands have been advertised in the pa
per doing the legal advertising of the
county where said lands are located,
by the Sheriff. * * * I have never
heard of any one being hurt by such
mistakes.”
This does not at all meet our com
plaint. These lands will be neither
advertised nor sold by the Sheriff, be
cause the fi. fas. are taken up, the taxes
being paid by parties who have never
had a shadow of title to the lands. The
probability is that the real owners will
never claim these lands; but is that
any reason why a few land-sharks
should gobble them up for a few dol
lars, when they would bring into the
State treasury a hundred times as
much ? Let them be sold publicly,
that all may have a chance to purchase,
and let the price realized go into the
treasury as escheat money, unless those
who offer to pay the taxes show some
title.
We want further explanation, or
facts differing from the rumors that
have reached us.
