T HE KAG LE* Friday Morning, November 23, 1877. CAREY W. STYLES Kditor. 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. Regular size bottles, fiity doses, sl. AUU —- - nr. .barsH ALBHIP. 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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Illtl I,nulls MIMI C. W. DUPRE, Court House Square, next door to Boone Cor.
