I) K MOCK AIK' NO M l NATION
FOR CONGRESS:
JOEL A. BILLUPS.
of Morgan County.
Joel Abbott Billups in the name of
our next Congressman.
We hope the rumor that the Speer
candidate will now decline to run, is
not true as in that event nobody will
ever know how weak he is in this
district.
The independent movement in
North Carolina did not pay as an
investment. The Democratic majori
ty in the next legislature will be as
large as usual.
The leading Independent in the
United States House of Representa
tives is the lion. Benjamin F. Butler,
of silver spoon renown.
The Watchman's colors are nailed to
the mast for Speer. After the first
Tuesday in November t’other end
np will he the order of the day.
The thanks of the Convention to
Messrs. Bell and Carlton came from
honest hearts. Theso gentlemen
will not be forgotten by their party
for their straight forward and manly
course.
Mr. Speer thinks we acknowledge
defeat l>y nominating Col. Billups.
We do indeed, the defeat of the
Speer candidate and so do his sup
porters in spite of their very hard
efforts to keep up their failiug cour
age.
A serious attempt is being made
to withdraw Col. Marcellas E. Thorn
ton from the Congressional race in
the Atlanta district. Don’t do it,
Colonel. Consider Spoor and Fcltou
aud leave them not alono in their
hour of travail.
The Watchman admits that sixty
six dolegates nominated Billups, even
if they didn’t represent anybody.
This as we liguro it, is just sixty-five
1 Miu r o than tho solitary man who
qinated Spoor. Ho and Speer to
t, rut;
nt de her count oue<
it o^° l Blanton Duncan’s Labor Na
oiffnal Greenback party carried
u
ded majority. The majority this
year was more decided but emphati
cally against the loog-narued party
aforesaid. An omen for Eelton.

The Independents and Republ
ic dr in Memphis, Teun , have joined
National party and in that man
;.ner have become “organized.” To
this complexion we suppose Mr.
Spier and his white and colored sup
porters will come at. last.
How swoot it is to see
Brethren in uuitoe.
Tho Independent organ in Athens
thinks Col. Billups ought not to be
elected because ho lives in the “ex
treme lower county of the District.’’
Mr Speer lives in the next lowest )
and being one county nearer North
Carolina than the Democratic candi
date, is supposed by our Athens con
temporary to he entitled to an elec
tion. A good point—it is indeed.
Speer’s friends know where his
strength lios. Witness the following
dispatch sent from Athens, August
2d, to tho Cincinnati Enquirer.
“Joel Abbot Billups was nomina
ted by the Democrats of tho Ninth
District to-day. He will be opposed
by Speer, Independent, who is one
of the most brilliant youngsters in
Georgia, ami who will probably win
the race. The Republicans wilt not
nominate, tail will support Speer.
The Speer candidate asserts that
he has broken up a liny in this dis
trict. The Speer candidate is simply
mistaken. The ring still exists and
encircles in its belt a host of Demo
crats, at least two thousand more in
number than the supporters of the
Speer candidate of all sorts. For
farther particulars seo election re
turns about the first Wednesday in
November of the current year.
Hero is another dispatch sent by
Speer’s friends last week, from Ath
(ii9 to the New York Herald. “The
Republicans will not nominate but
will support Speer." Of course they
will; it is their only chance and Speer
knows it. The telegram reads “the
Democratic Convention of the Ninth
district (Ben Hill’s old district) to
day nominated Joel Abbott Billups,
of Morgan county, for Congress.
The nomination was a compromise
f .reed by the assaults of Emory
Speer, independent, upon this organ
ization. Speer is young, brilliant
and aggressive, lie will probably
carry the district. This district lies
between Felton’s and Stephens.’
Speer has the sympathy of those can
didates. The Republicans will not
nominate, but will suppirt Speer."
Brunswick needs a good hotel, a
first class livery stable and a steam
yacht, according to tiro Appeal.
NOTICE.
With this issue Air. Henry Jones,
late managing editor of the Atlanta
Daily Tribune, becomes associated
with mo in the editorial management
of the Eagle. J E. Redwine.
Our ( envention and Candidate.
That the late Democratic conven
tion in this district was a grand suc
cess is a fact apparent to all Demo
crats and grudgingly conceded by
their opponents. There were dele
gates from every county and a full
representation from all hut ff>ur
Those present were men of intellect
and character and would do credit
to themselves and reflect honor
upon their constituents in aDy legis
lative body in the country. -Divided
in the choice of candidates into two
parties, of equal importance under
the two-thirds.ru 1 ©, they labored for
the success of their fivorites with
zeal but discretion, and with j eifect
dignity and fairuesp, each to the oth
er, until their judgment showed
them success was impossible. Then
with a cordial unanimity pleasing to
see and gratifying tc* record, they
presented,for the suffrages of the
Democratic party of tho district Col.
Joel A. Billups of Morgan county.
To a looker on it was difficult to
determine amidst the general enthu
siasm which party contributed more
to the prevailing good feeling, the
friends of Mr. Bell or Dr. Carlton,
as they seemed to vie each with the
other in the most earnest expressions
of joy at tho immediate and confi
dence in the ultimate result ot Demo
cratic action. They separated in
friendly rivalry, the adherents ot
each of the candidates at first before
the convention determined to show
in November a better return than
the other in tlieir respective locali
ties.
In selecting a candidate agreeable
to all, fortune was especially kind.
Joel A. Billups our chosen leader is a
son of Hon. John Billups of Clarke,
and was born in the tv unty ot Ogle
thorpe in 1829. He was re ire l in
Clarke county, but for a considera
ble number of yeai - s has resided and
practiced his profession in the ad
joining conuty of M >rgHi\, He is
well known, and as favorably as well,
all over this State. Asa lawyer he
is surpassed by none of his brethren,
and as a man he is the peer of any in
Georgia or out. He is strictly up
right aud honor,line in all tit rela
tions of life, ile -is a devout alid hum
ble Christian devoted to church
work and especially interested in the
advancement of the Sunday School
causa. He is. genial in tempera
rnent and- affible in manner,
a friend alike to the rich and ha the
poor. mi *

OF THK the

people or'•Georgia. ’ lie is
thoroughly conversant with the wish
es and wants of his constituents
which in his keeping will suffer no
detriment.
In this campaign there can be no
comparison of principles as between
the Democracy and their heteroge
neous opponents; but if even in this
respect both partiis were upon the
same footing, wo would still rest the
issue upon the personal merits of the
candidates.
Politicians Sometimes t’hangc.
A gentleman reproving a friend
for his bad taste in having exchang
ed his old bl.ck wig for anew red
one, was stopped short by the remark
that “he had as good a right to
change Liis hair as his politics,’’
which goes to show that changes of
political heart are not infrequent
Ben Butler, after voting at Charles
ton a number of times for Ex Presi
dent Davis, made quite a different
record as a R idic il Republican, and
now when his sands of life are about
run out, he takes anew departure
and lauds himself in the midst of the
National party. So John A. Logan,
a Democratic member of C mgress
before the war, thereafter as a S m i
tor waved fho bloody shirt as if ho
had worn the garment from his boy
hood up, while Frank P. Blair, a 11 s
publican Congressman prior to ISGI
found lumself a Democratic candi
date for Vice President in 18GS.
Therefore, whilst a mm’s political
record in time past in ly be evidence,
it is not by any means conclusive as
to his standing iu this campaign,
and he who justifies the support of
Independent condidates now by ref
erences to his Dom >cratie services
twenty years ago, before the present
generation were voters, s o to speak,
refers to immaterial matters.
We are obliged to julgo a man
politically, not so much by wuat he
says as by hisemrse of conduct not
by wh it he proposes to acomplish
but by (he actual results following,
and which can easily bo foretold.
Several of the supporters of the Iu
dependent candidate for Congress
are disposed to appeal with confi
dence to their Democratic record iu
the past. Grant that it has been
good, that none could have been bet
ter. Still it does not and caanot-al
ter the fact that such Democrats by
their action now are pursuing a
course not only detrimental to the
Democratic party, but which meets
with the approval of Republicans
everywhere. No matter what we
may think of the principles and prac
tices of the Republicans, we are
obliged to concede to them anility
and foresight aud they would net
j unanimously sustain Independent
; candid lies if they did not expect to
| gain thereby- No man therefore has
a right to appeal to his Democracy in
the past, while acting politically with
the enemies of the Democratic par
ty in the present, and that every In
dependent and every supporter of an
Independent is furnishing aid and
comfort to Republicans is so plain
that the wayfaring man el cel. can not
err therein.
1 It * Ball Opened.
Col. Allen D Gaudier cur excel
lent Senator delivered a ringing
speech for Biilups last Tuesday at
the Court House to a larg>- and at
tentive au lienee. He sketched the
rise and progress of the independent
movement, dwelt upon its utter sel
ti.shn-ssof aim and purpose, its en
tire dependence upon Radicals for
the great majority of its votes aud the
undeniable and inevitable result of
its success, the breaking up of the
Democratic party.
He spoke of the glorious record of
the Democracy in this State, the ter
rible struggle through which it had
successfully passed and urged upon
his hearers the absolute necessity of
keeping the old flag in advance, the
Democratic party in power. The
meeting adj mrued with routing
cheers for lollops and the Democ
racy.
The Atlanta Constitution, of last
Saturday says : “The prest nt United
Stales Senate could not under the
Constitution, easily elect a Vice
President as neither party controls
a maj >rity of the State delegations.
Eleven delegations are divided be
tween the parties, and there could,
therefore, ho no party election since
a majority of all the States is neces
sary to a choice.” A bad mistake
neighbor but chargeable in the lirst
instance to 11. V. Ridiiald. The
vote is not taken by States at all,
each senator has one vote and casts
it for either of the two highest can
didates voted for by the Electoral
College a majority of the votes of Sen
ators being necessary for an election,
so that tLe Republican Senate ionld
elect a Republican President, though
under no circumstances would it
have an opportunity. Y >nr state
ment in the same article that the
Democratic majority in the present
House is seventy, was probably a
slip of the pen.
Beyond tlm 11 ills.
Hiwassee, Ga , July 29, 1878.
Editor Eagle: ,
I propose to give. ;vou a few dots
occasionally, to let ytenr many read,

new life into the withered and al
most dying vegetation. The pros
pect of corn being SI,OO per bu-hel
next year vanished into thin air, as
the rain came down, supplying the
thirsty earth with needed moisture.
I had the pleasure of attending a
Sabbath school celebration at Frit nd
ship Church yesterday. Neighbor
ing schools were invited, and the in
vitation wasp accepted by the Bell
Creek Sabbath school in a body, and
a portion of the Hiwassee school par
ticipated in the exercises. It was
an interesting scene and one well
calculated to make the hearts of those
rejoice who take an inteiest in pro
moting the cause of Sabbath schools.
About one hundred of the Friend
ship school, conducted by Christian
Martin, J. T. Iviijasey, V. L. Kimsej,
and James McClure, formed into two
lines, at nine o’clock a. in , and
marched out under two banners,
one held by Miss E J. Parker, the
other by Miss Alice D. Ivimsey. The
procession proceeded a short distance
aud met the Bell Cieek school and
part of the Hiwassee tchool, conduc
ted by Theodore Gibson and W. G
Blackwell Esq , numbering about
seventy-five or eighty marching un
der two banners held by Miss M. E
Burch, and Miss Julia A Gibson.
The latter two schools marched under
the banners of the Friendship school
which counter marched after them
and ail proceeded to tho church and
formed a circle and marched around
the music for some time then adj mi n
ed to the house and Rev. E Heddc n,
gave an appropriate and eloquent)
Sunday school lecture to the Kihools,
and the large and well ordered audi
ence there assembled as spectators.
John L. Logan, died last Saturday
night, at his home in Brasstown, of
fever which settled in a gun-shot
wound received accidentally some
four or live years ago. He was em
ployed to teach school in the county
but died quite unexpectedly. He
was an intelligent man and a good
citizen. Lot his faults bo buried with
him, while we strive to emulate his
virtues.
S.
Internal Revenue Commissioner
R iu:n has addressed a circular letter
to all southern collectors, in which
he offers amnesty to offenders if thej
will cease violating the law. He
says: If the facts* are, as stated iu
the News and Courier, that a number
of illicit distillers have surrendered
themselves you are authorized in the
most public manner to announce
that the government will act ia the
utmost good faith towird them, and
if they abstain from violations of the
law and contribute to public senti
ment favorable to the enforcement
of the law, they will place themselves
in a position to entitle them to the
clemency of the government, and I
have no doubt will receive it.”

State will be proud.
Monroe Advertiser: The deadlock
in the Ninth District was broken bv
nominating Col. J. A. Billups of
Madison. The Holininee is one of the
leading men of Georgia in ability
and is above reproach in character-
Montezuma Weekly: Hon. Joel A.
Billups, of Morgan county, received
the nomination for Congress, at the
Gainesville Contention on the 2nd

and why he has never received

Athens C/iromj.|y After thirty
eight ballots ftboip equally divided

any material change, the tide turned,
and in a roariug ihout of applause
the Chairman announced that Col.
Joel Abbott Billups, of Morgan, was
unanimously nominated as the stand
dard-bearer of the Democracy of the
Ninth District. A better nomination
could not have been made, and tho
District will honoqitself in honoring
him. Hurrah for Billups ! '
August i Ghronid&i Cjl. Billups is
worthy the high pejiition in which he
has been placed,aud is worthy to

ability ami of unblemished public
and private character H i has not
held an ollice since the war, but has
never refused active and efli lient as

He will make a nresentative of

er he has few superiors, and his fine
manners will add to his popularity
when he comes more closely in con.
tact with the people of the various
counties. He will I e dieted by a
large majority and will adorn the
position.
Macon Telegraph: It if ill be seen
by the telegram that llr<n. J. A. Bil
lups, of Madison, has been unani
mously nominated for Congress in
the ninth district. Col. Billups is
well known to Macon, and his friends
will be gratified to hear of his selec
tion as the standard-bearer of the
Dt mocracy of the ninth. No bettor
choice could have been made. He is
a gallant and true gentleman, of
sound ability, honor and integrity.
Augusta News: Col. Joel A. Bil
lups, the nominee of the Democratic
paify of the Ninth Congressional
District cf Georgia, is one of the
best selections the party could have
made. The threatened deadlock in
the Convention was most happily
averted by the unanimous and enthu
siastic endorsement of Col. Billups,
who will doubtless carry the banner
in triumph at the ballot box.
Atlanta Constitution: C >l. Billups
is about jjfty years old, and is recog
nized as one of the best stump speak
ers in the State, although neither
his inclination nor his duty has led
him of late years to exercise his gifts
in that direction. He was boru in
Clarke county, and has always been
closely identified with the people.—
Before the war he wis an old line
whig, and dur.ng the memorable
canvass between Joe Brown and Ben
Hill for the Governorship, he made
a reputation in Geo'gia as one of the
most forcible, lluent and eloquent of
our stump speakers. Time has ri
pened his abilities, and he will make
one ol the most vigorous and impres
sive campaigns ever known in Geor
gia. llis private life and public rec
ord are absolutely above reproach.
They cannot he attacked either opeu
iy or by insinuation, and in meeting
him upon the stump, Mr Speer, (if,
indeed, he is not inclined to follow
the example of Dr. Felton) will be
compelled to confine himself strictly
to advocating the one-man principle
as opposed to the principles of the
Democratic party. Col. Billups is,
as we have said, one of the most im
pressive speakers in the State, full of
humor, eloquent, incisive, vigorous
and a man of great personal magnet
ism. The Democracy of the district
may trust their banner to his hands
with the assurance that he will carry
it to victory.
