The Puke Stare and father-in-law
/ achariah are ready to welcome
little Eugene.
Wo learn with pain that Blaine
of Maine has been kilt again—last
week. Two years ago Mulligan did
the job.
Eugene Halo turueth pale, the
news from Maine hath made him
quail. This may not be as good
poetry aH Smith Clayton’s, but it’s in
the same style and a little more prac
cal.
The fact that gold has declined
since the Maine election shows con
clusively that the “fiat” money men
won no victory. Gold and green
backs will be at par as soon as the
latter is receivable for custom dues.
Mr. Speer now goes to Rabun and
White counties oftener than he did
when Solicitor General. Though in
his opinion the mountaineers wero not
entitled to representation in 1875
they aro all right now if they will
vote for Spoer.
The mountain people do not shoot
their corn out of shot-guns into the
sides of the mountains as Mr. Speer
says they did, but in November nest
they will shoot Billups votes into the
ballot boxes by (he thousand and
will require no shot-guns.
Can any body in the world tell
why Returning Board Hayes wastes
so much of President Tildeu’s money,
(if he isn’t dead-headed all the time,)
in philandering over this groat and
glorious country ? This is about
all the interest we can take in Hayes.
Mr. James G. Blaine a would-be
candidate for President in 1880 is
just now attending certain solemn
services in Maine wherein he appears
as chief mourner. A gentleman by
the name of Mulligan has offered his
assistance gratuitously as sexton and
gravo digger.
A dispatch from Bangor Maine,
the source of the great involution
last week, says the victors there are
not inflationists or repudiators but
they aro opposed to national banks
and a further contraction of the cur
rency. Bo are all Democrats here
and everywhere.
Mr. Speer’s address iu 1872 to the
Democratic Club of Clarke county,
contained tho truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but tho truth. The or
ganized Democrats of tho ninth con
tinue to live up to its precepts. Mr.
Spoer and his friends have long ago
departed therefrom.
Tho New York Sun, which has
been dividing its time for the last
year and a half, between the truly
good Deacon Richard Smith’s
crooked legs and Returning Board
Hayes’ entire crooked carcass, has
found something new to discuss since
little Eugene Hale succumbs to the
stone cutter and Hannibal Hamlin
no longer owns his district.
The financial question is what ails
the Republican Congressional commit
tee as well as some other gentlemen
not quite so well known. They can’t
collect assessments from department
clerks as well as before they heard
from Maine, while Z. Chandler, late
Secretary of the Interior under Boss
Grant, doesn’t sorter seem to take
so much interest in things since son
ic law Hale got beat by a stone ma
soa.
Oar genial neighbor the Atlanta
Cnnxlilution and some others, the
Cincinnati Enquirer for instance, are
mistaken in the assertion that the
new anti-Republican legislature of
line will choose a successor to Uni
ted States Senator Hannibal Ham
lin. He will air his swallow-tail
coat in the Senate some time longer,
)>is term not expiring till March 4,
ISSI , while Blaine, the other Senator,
holds on till March 4, 1883.
Mr. Eugene Hale, Republican of
Maine, used the most abusive lan
guage against the Potter resolutions,
in the House of Representatives of all
men except Hon. Alexader H. Ste
phens. Mr. Hale failed of an elec
tion last week and will now probably
go to Michigan and live with his
father-in-law Mr. Zachariah Chand
ler. Of all the prominent oppo
nents of an investigation of Mr.
Hayes’ fraudulent title, Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens seems to be
a fe6tttt l ne only one who has saved his
bacon.
Mr. Speer'!* Descent.
From the time Mr. Emory Speer
became a voter up to a period after
June 1872 at least, he was a Demo
crat, or if he likes the term better,
an “organized” Democrat. At that
time he was of the opinion, to use
his own words to the Democracy of
Clarke county that “that man who>
contrary to the wishes of the people,
will insist on opposing the nomi
nee, is a disorganizer and no friend
to the success of Democratic
principles.” He continued in the
same faith until the Bell-Hill con
vention of 1875 when he sought the
nomination, and failing therein, en
tered the convention as a proxy, and
both spoke and voted for Mr. Hill.
All right so far. The convention of
1877 was held and Mr. Bell was
nominated, and here the change be
gins.
Not opposing the theory or prac
tice of conventions in general, but
insisting only that this particular
one was packed and fraudulent and
had a false basis of representation lie
appealed to the people to elect him
to congress and so rebuke the as
sumption of those, who by packed
meetings and fraudulent proxies had
usurped the rights of the people.
He justified his candidacy on this
ground alone. Ho did not propose to
override the will of the Democratic
party, but asserted that the Bell con
vention did not express it, and that
the Democrats of the ninth district
would show by electing him that he
and not Bell was their candidate.
What the party thought about that
convention is now of no moment,
since they did not believe the disease
justified the remedy proposed by Mr.
Speer, as (admitting every Republi
can voted for Col. Archer,) out of
8907 Democratic votes polled, Mr.
Speer received but 3,734.
Right here, however, just as soon
as Mr. Speer received the news of his
defeat by Col. Bell, he announced
himself a candidate for the next con
gress and so he has been from that
day to this. Long in advance of the
call of a convention, mouths before
he knew what would be the basis of
representation, who would be the
the delegates or candidates, whether
or not proxies of any kind would bo
admitted, in entire ignorance wheth
er the abuses, of which he had com
plained, would be corrected, he turus
over an entirely new leaf. He de
dares himself opposed to conven
tions of all kinds, however fair in
representation and conduct, although
they are adopted by the Democratic
party in every congressional district
in the United States, and proposes to
fight the party on that line, until ho
shall bo elected to congress, if it
takes a lifetime.
This is his platform now. He is
opposing Col. Billups because he is
the nominee and representative of
the Democratic party and for no
other reason. Had Col. Bell or Dr.
Carlton been nominated or any other
Democrat iu the ninth, he would
have opposed him without any re
gard to the merits of the case but
solely on the ground of his being the
Democratic standard-bearer. In his
latest speech he declared that if elec
ted he would not pay any attention
to a Democratic caucus, but would
vote for Democratic principles, as he
understood them, he and he only
to be the judge. He upbraided
Col. Billups for avowing that he will
be only a part of the great Demo
cratic party in the House of Repre*
sentatives and that he will not pre
sume to set himself up against the
opinion of 150 other Democrats upon
matters of interest to the whole coun
try to be passed upon by congress.
On the other hand Mr. Speer is now
opposing and proposes to oppose, if
elected, the Democratic party when
ever he sees fit.
He may from now till November
go through this district balling aloud
“oh, I am a Democrat of the first
water and most ancient persuasion,”
but the Democratic voters in these
parts are beginning to understand
that while Emory Speer says he is a
Democrat, every thiug he says or
does militates against the Democratic
party all over the State and the Un
ion.
So far there have been elections
for members of the next United
States House of Representatives in
nine districts, one in Oregon, three
in Vermont and five in Maine, all
now represented by Republicans.
The Democrats have gained the one
in Oregon and one in Maine; the
Greenbaekers have elected one in
Maine and iu one district there was
no choice. So that the count, in
stead of nine Republicans, as in 1876,
now stands five Republicans, two
Democrats, one Greenbacker and one
in doubt. Not much prospect so far
of a Republican majority in the next
House.
When the New England Radicals
divided the South after (he war,
Georgia fell to Maine, Maine turned
the property over to Skowhegan and
the Skowheganites ran the State for
two or three years. But tho revol
ving days have brought their revenge.
At the election last Monday Somer
set county, in which Skowhegan is
situated, electe 1 a Democratic State
Senator by seven hundred majority.
All the members of the House are
Greenbaekers and the Republicans are
left out in the cold.— Ghron. and Con •
Is (J ur Ox To Be Bored i
The result of the efforts of the
Democratic-Greenback combination
against the Republicans in Maine and
Vermont is very gratifying to Demo
crats everywhere because these two
States are Republican, and any news
therefrom is better than a Republi
can victory. But will there be in
Democratic and doubtful States a
Republican-Greenback combination
having for its object a Democratic
defeat ? It is possible, but we do not
think probable that anything like
this will happen.
In the first place the Democratic
party is under better discipline than
the Republican and les3 likely to be
influenced by an outside organization.
Again upon nearly every doctrine of
the Greenbaekers capable of practi
cal enforcement there is no issue be
tween them, while as between Re
publicans and Greenbaekers there is
no question upon which they are in
accord. Take the repeal of the Na
tional Banking Act; no Republican
favors it, while the number of Demo
crats opposing it is insignificant, and
it is a cardinal doctrine of the Green
backers. And then again the finan
cial trouble of which all justly com
plain are chargeable only to the
Republican party. While it is true
that that party alone has not been
able, since March 4, 1875, to make
any new laws, it is as much a part
of our political history that since
March 4, 18G1, the Democratic par
ty has neither been able to pass a
new law or amend an old one; and it
has only been since the Democrats
have had the House and a strong
minority in the Senate that any finan
cial reforms in legislation have been
effected.
So far, the Greenbaekers at the
North, East and West have either
gone it alone or united with the
Democrats. Few and far between
are the cases where Greenbaekers and
Republicans have united. But it is a
self-evident proposition that the Re
publican party will try its best to off
set defeats at the North by combina
tions with Greenbaekers, Indepen
dents and any other persons to de
feat the Democratic party at the
South.
The National Democracy is safe if
not undermined by insidious efforts
of disorganizes and Republicans in
this section. Never was the necessi
ty more urgent for voting in every
Congressional district in the South
ern States for the party nominee.
The Electric Light.
The Scientific American devotee
a good deal of space in the last issue
to the electric light and assorts,
which before has been doubled, that
it is a cheap light. It says that it
has long been known that the elec
tric light,in point of brilliancy,beauty
and safety far transcends all other
known means of artificial illumina
tion; but its great cost, together
with the skill required to manipu
late it, has, until within a short time,
hindered its use except in the lecture
room or laboratory. Of late years,
however, machines have been de
vised that convert dynamic energy,
with very little loss, directly into
electric energy, affording, for the
purpose of lighting, an inexpensive
source of electricity, so that the lux
ury of the electric light is not only
brought within reach of many, but
is actually made much cheaper than
any other means of illumination
where light of equal powt r is re
quired. It appears that a machine
requiring only horse power to
drive it and weighing 300 lbs., will
produce a light of from 1,200 to 2,000
candles according to speed.
This light is especially adapted
for open air use, railroad depots and
yards, streets and squares. Being
analagous to sunlight, all colors ap
pear the same at night as in the day.
How cheap this light is does not pre
cisely appear, but if its cost be less
than any other, even kerosene or
whale oil, it will prove invaluable for
street lighting purposes in large vil
lages and small cities, which need
such lights as much as larger ones
but are unable on account of the
price to use gas.
The Yellow Fever.
No abatement of the fever yet.
For the 24 hours ending Wednesday
morning last, the deaths were as fol
lows: Memphis 101, New Orleans G 2,
Vicksburg 22, Canton 12, Grenada
G, Holly Springs and Morgan City 3;
total 209. This gives actual results
but no idea of the horror and neces
sities of the plague-stricken localities-
In Memphis it is spreading in the
suburbs. It is reported at Chatta
nooga, but the physicians of that city
declare no danger of an epidemic.
Nearly fifty per cent of those attack
ed die and in the worst places, as at
Memphis, it is impossible to procure
coffins fast enough to bury the dead.
The stench iu that city is horrible
and for five miles out the air is im
pregnated with the yellow fever
poison. There seems not the slight
est hope until frost.
Hammond’s nomination for Con
gress was ratified at tbe Ivimbali
House last Saturday night. Speeches
were made by the nominee, Gov.
Colquitt, Judge Trippe and Senator
Hill. The latter gentleman predic
ted 50 Democratic majority in the
next Bouse of Representatives.
Reuben Arnold is the Independent
candidate for Congress in the fifth
district.
The Maine Election.
The election in Maine was a revo
lution to the Republican party and
might have been more fatal in results
had the same policy been pursued by
the opponents of Republicans all
over the State.
In the Penobscot valley, from the
Canada line to the Atlantic Ocean,
and at the head of the Kennebec
river, the strongholds of the Repub
lican party in the S.ate, the Green
backers and Democrats “fused.”
They voted for the Greenback candi
date for Governor, a Democrat for
congress in the fourth and Green
backer in the fifth district, and uni
ted upon all members of the legisla
ture and county officers, who were
divided between the two parties. Iu
the five counties of Aroostook, Pe
nobscot, Pistacaquis, Somerset and
M aldo, which in 18G8 gave the Re
publican Governor 8,G16 majority,
last week a majority of 5,500 was re
corded against the Republican party,
electing a Democratic congressman
in the fourth and a Greenbacker in
the fifth district.
Had the same combination ex
tended over the middle and western
parts of the State, a Governor, either
Democratic or Greenback would
have been elected by the people and
the Republicans would have lost all
five members of congress. As it is,
they have been bereft of two, and the
Governor and legislature. While
this is not a Democratic victory it is
a crushing Republican defeat. Twen
ty-four years ago, a combination of
anti-slavery Democrats, free soil
Whies, original Abolitionists and all
dissatisfied with the Democrats
formed a combination against and
defeated them. As the result, the
Republican party swept the State in
1856 and has had undisputed con
trol therein until now. If in 1880
the elected President be a Democrat,
as is now nearly absolutely certain
the result of this last combination in
Maine will be to make it a sound and
reliable Democratic State as in the
days of Jackson.
So far as this election affects the
country, it establishes beyond doubt
that for the Republicans to obtain
a majority in the next House, they
must rely upon the South.
The Philadelphia Times says the
last Democratic Governor of Maine
was chosen in 1853, and that Morrill
(since Senator) a Republican was
chosen in 1854 and 1855. Governor
Morrill was not the Senator but his
brother, and he was not re-elected
in 1855. The vote the latter year
was for Morrill, Republican, 51,488;
Wells, Democrat, 48,373; Reed,
Whig, 10,G45; there being no choice
by the people, the legislature, which
was Democratic, chose Wells, Demo
crat, Governor. Since that time for
twenty-two successive years, until
last week, the Republicans have elec
ted their candidate for Governor.
Now the Republican Senate will have
to choose Garcelon, Democrat, or
Smith, Greenbacker, the two names
sent up to them by the Democratic
Greenback House, for the next Gov
ernor, and Garcelon will probably be
the man.
The Rockland (Me.) Opinion, pub
lished in Murch’s district says
“Thompson H. Murch, the successor
of Eugene Hale in the Fifth Con
gressional District of Maine, is a gen
uine and honest man. He is a na
tive of Hampden Me., and, therefore,
a fellow townsman of the venerable
Hamlin. He has twice been driven
from work on Government struct
ures because Lie had dared to vote
the Democratic ticket in defiance of
the dictates of Secor Robeson’s sub
ordinates. It was after his last dis
charge that he began to organize the
Stonecutters’ Union. Mr. Murch is
but forty years of age. A happy
family is the best evidence that he
is a good citizen and father, and not
the worthless tramp that he has
been stigmatized by Jay Gould’s
Tribune.”
Lumpkin and Dawson.
Dawsonville, Ga., Sept. 9, 1878.
Editors Eagle:
I met our regularly nominated
Democratic candidate at Dahlonega,
on last Thursday when he address
ed the people of Lumpkin county.
Up to that time many of the most in
fluential and substantial men of that
county had not fully made up their
minds as to their duty in the present
canvass. But after hearing Col. Bil
lups, who made a strong, practical,
convincing speech, they with great
unanimity announced their determina
tion to vote for him and stand by the
Democratic party which has done so
much for our State and the whole
country. There can be no doubt
that Lumpkin county will give the
nominated candidate a handsome
majority on the sth of November.
Col. Billups came to Dawson coun
ty with me on Friday and since that
time he has met many of our people.
He is so gentlemanly and polite in
his treatment to all, that the people
are greatly pleased with him. I have
had no doubt about the vote of Daw
son, but the impression made on our
citizens both in his private intercourse
with them, and by his able and sat
isfactory speech here to day, is so
strong and favorable that our best
informed citizens concur with me
that we will give him a good majori
ty when the election comes off.

The letter of Mr. B. J. Davis which
appeared in the Southron of last week
contained many inaccuracies, not to
call them by any other names.
Among the misstatements was one in
reference to the sentiment of the
Grand Jury on the congressional
question. No vote was ever taken
in the jury room or elsewhere on the
the subject, but the members were
separately polled, and the result was
as follows : Billups, 14, Speer 5, un.

Dr. M. W. CASE’S
Liver Remedy
AND J
BLOOD PURIFIER
Tonic and Cordial,
This is not a natent medicine, but is prepared
under the direction of Dr. M. W. Case, from his
favorite prescription, which in an extensive
practice of over twenty-seven years lie has found
most effective in all cases of disordered liver oi
impure blood. It is
ANTI-BILIOUS.
It acts directly upon the liver, restoring it
when diseased to its normal condition; and in
regulating the activity of this great gland every
other organ of the system is benefited. In Blood
Diseases it has no equal as a purifier. It im
proves digestion, and assists nature to eliminate
all impurities from the system; and while it ts
the cheapest medicine in.the market, it is also
superior to all known remedies. While it is
more effectual than Blue Mass, it is mild and
perfectly safe, containing nothing that can in the
slightest degree injure the system. It does not
sicken or give pain; neither docs it weaken the
patient, nor leave the system constipated, as do
most other medicines.
Liver Complaint, Dys
-8 i VUlvd pepsia, Bilious Fever,
Headache, Sick Headache, Water-Brash,
Heartburn, Sick Stomach, .Jaundice,
Colic, Vertigo, Neuralgia, Palpitation of
the Heart, Female Irregularities and
Weakness, all Skin and Blood Diseases,
Worms, Fever and Ague, and Constipa
tion of the Bowels.
In small doses it is also a sure cure for
Chronic Diarrhoea.
Taken two or three times a day, it pre

It is the most effective and valuable medicine
ever offered to the American people. As fast
as its merits become known, its use becomes
