Democratic citizens are being con
stantly arrested in South Carolina
by the United States authorities, up
on affidavit*. of depraved Radical
no -roes. Do Democrats of the ninth
d.o.riet want to see all such outra
geous laws repealed and forever doue
away with? Thau vote for Joel A
B Hups for congress. *
The TWo Candidates.
Upon the assumption that Emory
Speer is a democrat and honestly in
favor of the democratic party, there
is ao excuse for his asking an election
to congress at this time. Joel A.
Billups is the regular democratic
candidate. He was the unanimous
choice of a convention composed of
representative men from every coun
ty in the district, called together in
strict comformity to the usages of
the democratic party. He was not
a candidate for the nomination; did
not seek it, but on the contrary was
sought for as the party candidate.
He ia a capable maD, possessed of
all the qualifications necessary for a
congressman, business experience,
legal education and practice, ability
as a logician and debitor, thorough
knowledge of the condition and
wants of the people of this district-
He is a good man, whose unspotted
and Christian life of nearly fifty
years, within thirty miles of his birth
place, furnishes in itself a conclusive
reply to the contemptible lies and
abominable slanders circulated, with
a knowledge of their untruth, by Mr
Speer. He is a straight democrat,
in full accord with his party in
Georgia and the South upon all the
important issues of the day, the fi
nances, the tariff, the internal reve
nue laws, the constitutional rights of
the South against Federal interfer
ence of any kind, and ia in every way
an unswerving opponent of radical
principles and practices.
Why should Emory Speer, as a
democrat oppose this honest and ca
pable democratic nominee? What
fault in Col. Billups or fraud or trick
in his nomination renders it necessa
ry for Mr. Speer, as a democrat, to
enter the field ? To what disastrous
results to the democratic party, wbl
the eleetiou of Col. Billups lead,
which compel Mr. Speer as a demo
crat to fight him with all his strength
and call to his aid every radical in
the ninth district ? There is no rea
son or fraud or trick, and none bat
the most beneficial results to the
democratic party will follow Col
Billups’ election. Mr. Speer as a
democrat does not and can not with
and reason or consistency oppose Col
Billups,
But admit that Mr. Speer is at
heart opposed to the democratic
party and in favor of its defeat, and
ail doubts as to the reasons for his
candidacy vanish. Knowing he is
sure of the radical votes and that to
avow himself &u enemy to the demo
cratic par*y, would drive off those of
his supporters who are loyal demo
crats, he still pretends to baa demo
crat while doing everything in his
power to bring about a result in this
district-so thoroughly acceptable to
Northern radicals, as his election
would be. From a Republican
standpoint, his candidacy is justifia
ble and commendable; in the eyes of
democrats it is a blunder and a
crime.
Let every democrat who loves his
party and its principles more than
Billups or Speer or any man, vote for
Joel. A. Billups, the democratic can
didate for congress.
Are Ye Democrats Or Wot ?
The election next Tuesday is by far
the most important of any held, in
Georgia since the war. In 1868-70
and ’72, we met the Radical party in
all its strength, and, in the latter
year succeeded, after the most stren
uous exertions, in obtaining com
plete possession of the State Govern
ment. The interests then at stake
were thoroughly understood and the
fruits of victory not overestimated.
Now, the Democrats of Georgia con
tend with opponents more deter
mined, more unscrupulous, more re
solved upon Democratic defeat. In
the first, fifth, seventh and ninth dis
tricts, every open and secret foe of
the Democratic party is plotting its
overthrow, and working day and
night for victory. No one can mis
take the nature of the contest or the
line of battle on either side. Here
stand the Democratic party with its
candidates, Nicholls, Hammond, Les
ter and Billups, fairly and honorably
nominated according to party usage,
and as fairly and honorably as ever
Democrats were selected to bear the
standard of their party. Oa the
other side, are seen the forces of the
alliance—Radicals, Greenback Com
munists, Independents and bolting
Democrats,of every description— uni
ted in aci ion as a party, with but one
plank in its platform, confusion to
the Democracy and success to its
foes.
Corker and Arnold have formally
left the Democratic party, and are the
regularly nominated candidates ot a
new organization. Felton and Speer
style themselves Democrats, though
renouncing all allegiance to the Demo
cratic party, while their fr’ends and
supporters, Corker’s and Arnold’s
herd together, plot together and work
together for the ruin of the Demo
cratic party aod Democratic princi
ples. s.
All Democrats in the ninth district,
desirous of Democratic success in
Georgia and the Union, will vote and
work for Joel A. Billups. Ail men
opposed to Democratic triumphs,
State and Federal, will east their
ballots for Emory Speer. Next Tues
day will place every voter on one side
or the other, and wheresoever he
stands, there will he be counted.
What ia the Bad to Be ?
Ia 1874, William H. Felton, as un
Independent, ran against Col; Dab
ney, the Democratic candidate, on the
ground that the “ring” controlled
the convention which had nominated
Mr. Trammell, though Trammell was
out of the race and Dabney was ad
mitted to be an able man and a good
Democrat. On a light vote, with
Republican help, Felton was success
ful by a very small majority. In
1876, having perfected ni3 alliance j
with the Radicals, Felton was re
elected over Dabney by an increased
majority. Up to this time, the situa
tion in the seventh district was not
considered of ary special importance,
by the -Uemocraie of the country, or
even the rest of the State. It was
looked upon as a little family feud
likely to heal itself in process ot
time.
But after the Presidential election
of 1876, tho Northern Republicans
saw that there was no hope for their
party at the South upon its own
merits and that they must divide the
Democracy te make a place for them.
So they issued orders to the, leaders
of their forces in this section to dis
band for a time and help Independ
ent candidates whenever opportuni
ties offered. The Independent
might have been in his day a most
proscriptive and bitter Democrat—it
mattered not—so long as he ran
against the nominee of the party, he
mast have Radical support.
As Democrats, we had to accept
the issue thus offered by the Radicals
and from that moment, the little
contest in the seventh be
came a party movement, an Inde
pendent attack upon the Democratic
party, intended to spread all over
the South and assume a national im
portance. Felton, the original sin
ner, leads his many colored cohorts
in the seventh, welded together as
one man and more thoroughly or
ganized than any party ever was in
Georgia. His example has been fo’-
lowed in the first, fifth and ninth
districts and would have been in ev
ery other, had there been the least
chance of success.
Suppose these Greenback-Commu
nists and Independents are success
ful in these four districts next Tues
day will they stop there ? Will they
not rather extend their unholy alli
ance with Radicals and negroes, and
prepare to contest in 1880, every
congressional distriot, and elect a Gov
ernor/Secretary of State, Treasurer,
Comptroller General .Attorney G mer
al and a legislature? Will they not
take all they can get, and then reach
out for more? Certainly they will.
Let us kill the snake now before k is
fully grown. We Bhall do our part
in this district next Tuesday by elect
ing Joel A. Billups, the Democratic
candidate.
Mr. Speer’s Conduct Last Week
We started out in this canvass to
fight the batik, upon the issues in
volved, withof t toy special it-Mr-nee
to the two Candida tee. All depart
ures from this course were rendered
necessary by the wanton and mali
cious attacks of Mr. Speer upon the
democratic candidate We have re
frained so far from discussing Mr.
Speer, his personal character or hab
its, but in view of the communica
tions of Mr. W. E Candler and
“Gaddistown,” both of Union coun
ty, relative to Mr. Speer’s conduct
therein last week, we shall not re
frain, in justice to the voters of this
district, from publishing the facts.
Speer was very much under the
influence of liquor when he arrived
at Gaddistown on the night of
Wednesday October 23d. He failed to
keep bis appointment that night and
another at 9 a. m , the next morning.
He had appointments last week after
Wednesday at Morganton, Biairs
vilio ani Hiwassee, and on Monday
of this week at Clayton. He missed
Morganton and Hiwassee entirely and
was unable to speak clearly afcßlairs
viile. At last accounts he was laid
up near Bla rsville at the residence
of a prominent citizen of Union
county. Whether or not he kept
any appointments in that section last
week or this, or will speak to-mor
row at Cleveland we are not in
formed.
We giva the facts. Voters must
draw their own conclusions. We
will only remind them that several
talented member i of the House of
Representativss of the forty-fifth
congress have, this year, failed of re
nomination and re-election solely be
cause of their love for, and indulgence
in intoxicating liquors.
The Result.
So far as we ere concerned the
campaign is over. The result, so far
as Col. Billups’ success is concerned,
never has been nor is it now doubt
ful. All the secret and open foes of
the democratic party combined —
radicals, negroes, independents and
Speer democrats can not reduce Col.
Billups’ majority below one thous
and. This is an extreme view of the
situation and concedes every thing
claimed, to Speer. If there is a full
vote and we split the republican
strength at all, our majority will be
in the neighborhood of two thous
and. We would net have it more.
Georgia wiil send a unanimous
Democratic delegation to congress
next Tuesday.

FBOM SENATOR PENDLETON
Cincinnati, Oct. 15, 1878.
Jas. W. Robertson, E-q., Chair
man Executive Committee, Marietta,
Ga: My Dear Sir: I regret extreme
ly that engagements which I have al
ready made will deprive me of the
pleasure of accepting your cordial in
vitation to be present at the mass
meeting to be held at Acwoith on
the 22nd inst. I should be glad to
visit Georgia again, and say some
words of encouragement and con
c ngr&tulation to our fellow demo
crats. The prospects of our com
plete success are brightening every
where. Even in Maine and iD lowa
the solid Republican phalanx is bro
ken. While we have not accom
plished all we hoped in Ohio, we
have secured a majority of the dele
gation in the next House of Repre
sentatives, and can cast the vote of
the State if the election of a Presi
dent should devolve on that body.
The last device of the enemy is to
weaken the democratic strenth in the
Southern States by throwing the full
vote of an organized Republican par
ty for Independent candidates. It is
only an attempt to divide and con
quer us. I hope all democrats will
appreciate its object and give no aid
to the scheme. Very yours truly,
Geo. H. Pendleton.
FROM SENATOR BUTLER.
Edgefield, S. G. October 18, 1878.
Mr. J. W, Robertson, Gjlairman
Executive Committee, Marietta, Ga:
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 12th
inst., inviting me to be present at a
Democratic mass-meeting to be held
at Acworth, Ga, on the 22d inet. has
just been received, and I am ob
liged for the compliment of the invi
tation.
j lam in the midst of professional
engagements, at the fall term of our
courts, and cannot leave without
neglecting the interests of clients
who have intrusted their business to
me. The Democracy of South Caro
lina have heard with pain and regret
of the tendency to disintegration of
our Democratic friends in some sec*
tions of Georgia, and I should have
born glad to avail myself of the op
portunity which your invitation gives
me of pointing out at your meeting
the evils wnic i are likely to result
from it: bat the circumstances above
referred to will prevent my doing
so.
The splendid and invincible party
organization of the Georgia democra
cy has been a nucleus upon which her
sister States of the South have been
accustomed to rally. She has led the
advancing column, and the rapidity
with which she appears to be drift
ing into “independentism” isasotfree
of alarm and anxiety to the democ
racy everywhere. Her action is re
flected into all parts of the South,and
must produce the most unhappy and
unfortunate effect upon the prospects
of perpetuating good government in
■ his country. “Independent” action
by any democrat or set of democrats,
in the present juncture of political
parties, is a most dangerous experi
ment. W‘har. would become of
South Carolina, for instance, if an
“independent freak” should take pos
session of any respectable number of
democrats? Why, it would be sim
ply destruction of onr hopes, and yet
the example which Georgia is setting
us may be followed before the most
incredulous are aware.
Why will your people run off after
such false gods as independent demo
crats, destroy party organization and
discipline, and paralyze party action
just at a time when we need an un
broken and well disciplined column
for the great national contest ia 1880?
Your patriotic and constitution
loving people ought to see the dan
ger and avoid it. They owe it to
themselves and to those of us who
have been through the terrible ordeal
of the past with them—to maintain
strict party organization for a united
and unbroken movement of a solid
democracy of the entire country—
against the common enemy of good
government in 1880.
I trust that your meeting will be a
great success, and that whatever of
disaffection [or dissatisfaction there
may be in the democratic party of
Georgia will be satisfactorily and
completely removed. I have the
honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant,
M. C. Butler
Indepenclentism in Louisiana.
.1. Madison Weils and Thomas C.
Anderson, of the Louisiana Return
ing Board—the two most notorious
villains and scoundrels in the United
States—they, who, aided and abetted
by visiting statesmen, stole Louis
iana’s vote and gave it to Hayes, are
candidates for congress in their re
spective districts. They run as Inde
pendents, and are relying for success
upon the votes of such Democrats as
they can induce, on the plea of Inde
pendentism,to bolt the regular Demo
cratic nominees and support them,
In two other districts, two attorneys
of the -Returning Board, nearly as
infamous as their clients, are running
for congress and hoping' for success
through the same means.
What a commentary on Greenback
and Independent movements at the
South. Who, in Georgia, calling him-
seif a Democrat, can sympathize with
or endorse a movement, or support
its candidates, which would send to
congress such reprobates as Wells
and Anderson ? Stick to your party
in this district, and vote for Joel A.
Billups, the Democratic candidate for
J congress.

iu a speech at Savannah last week

has the virtue of frankness, not pos
sessed by others of his Independent

Editors Eagle i It is with no spirit
of exaltation, but a sense of duly to
the voters of this congressional dis
trict, that I foel oalled upon to give
them the disgraceful manner in
which Mr. Speer, the Independent’s
ehampion, has conducted himself
since he has been in this county.
He, the great statesman, had an ap
pointment to address the good peo
ple of Gaddistown, a militia district
of this county, on the night of the
23d inst., and when he arrived at the
above named place, ke was so in
tensely mistified, by the two frequent
use of “mountain dew,” distilled
from some of the corn the mountain
bovs shot in the ground thi* last
spring, that after four unsuccessful
efforts to sufficiently arouse him to
address the small crowd, who had
assembled to hear him, they were
informed that the speaking would be
postponed until the morning follow
ing at nine o’otook. Aagain at the
appointed time a few gathered, com
posed of both Billups and Speer
men, (but who are all now for Bil
lups) to hear the speaking; bnt again
that arch-enemy, and soul destroy
ing thirst for strong drink, had so
completely overcome the speaker,
that he was again almost rendered
unable to appear before the audi
ence, and with perfect disgust end
utter indignation the crowd dis
persed, and Speer was placed in his
buggy, under the protection of his
negro driver and sent on to this place,
thus failing to ad tress the people of
Morganton, Fannin county, as fiad
been previously announced. Hia ef
fort towards speaking at this place
was a signal failure, and his friends
left town with sad hearts and woe
be-gone looks, to she and know that
their darling little Emory was so
completely played out. He frequent
ly daring his speech called upon bis
friend, P. H. Wright, formerly a citi
zen of this county, but now of your
city, to corroborate certain state
ments made by him, and I need but
say that the people of this county
want no better evidence on this earth
of the falsity of a proposition, than
to hear Tanny vouch for its truthful
ness. At this writing Spesr is still
in this county suffering as his friends
say with neuralgia, but we boys
know it by a different name to that,
and I fear unless they get him out of
the section be is in, that it will prooa
bly prove fatal, for that is a danger
ous place for a man suffering with
his disease. The great Speer barbe
cue which was to have been given
here on the 25th, in honor of the oc
casion, was like the speaking, a fail
ure, only a little more. Speer’s ap
pointments above here are being un
fulfilled. W. E. Candles
At the Corker meeting in Savan
nah last week, Beast Butler’s name
was vociforously applauded. He,
Madison Wells, and Thomas C. An

lups and thus stamp out these move
ments and their endorsers.
Do you want an independent elect

HOG CHOLERA.
Cure and Preventive.
It is known by all that hog cholera hss
oauqpd more loss amcmg the farmers than
any other disease that stock f3 subject to.
Many worthless and irritaole remedies are
nsed which have a taidecey to influne and
aggravate instead of heating, and reguiatine
the system of all imparities. In a disease
so fatal, it is of great importance that farm
ers should have a medicine that they could
rely Upon; therefore, Runyon & Cos. haviug
spent several years in the stndy and practice
upon this disease in its several forms, have
at last produced a composition which will
cure and effectually prevent that disease in
every form, and has gained the confidence
of the people, and won for itself the title of
the “Never-Failing Remedy. ”
We war ant this compound to cure in all
cases whe c inflammation is not too far gone
to be stopped when the medicine is admin
istered strictly according to directions; then
it is important tbit every farmer should
have a supp. yof it. It acts as a healing and
strengthening remedy for the genera! sys
tem, and the animal thrives S3 fast ns it it
h>d never been sick, on far less grain. The
rapid sales and wonderful cures of this med
icine induces Us to believe that no person
can use it without recommending it to his
friends. Having such great success in other
States, we now offer it to the people of
Georgia, knowing that its virtues must be
acknowledged by an intelligent, and pro
gressive people. We might publish many
flattering letters from other States, but we
prefer to insert merely a few home certifi
cates from actual us-, that all may try it and
judge for themselves; and if any one doubts
the genuineness of the following certificates,
they are requested to write and ascertain,
tor every man’s postoffice address is annexed
to his certificate.

recommended. Owing to the fair proposi
tion made by him, I deemed it but courtesy
to give him a trial. We st acted five head,
the worst affected, two of which were past
eating, and during the ten days he has been
treating them there has none died; but, on
the contrary, they are thriving and doing
well; and I feel that I can with confidence,
after seeing the effect, recommend it as do
ing all tb-’t Ranyon & Cos. claim for it, and
wofrld advise all farmers to u.-e it.

This is to certify that we witness and
the above test on Mr Black’s hogs, and it
did for his hogs all that was claimed f <r it,
and we recommend it to all farmers that
wish to save their hogs from the disease.

This is to certify that the cholera broke
out among my hogs, and I lost one of my
best; in a day or two there were two more
that refused to eat anything. I called on
W. M. Runyon, then at Mr. Black’s, dem
onstrating on his hogs, and procured some
medicine and gave it promptly according to
directions; and now my hogs are well and
hearty, and I cheerfully recommend it to all
interested in raising hogs and .prevent them
of this destructive disease. juLi Martin.

This is to certify that one of my best hogs
was afftoted with the cholera, and I pur
chased some of Runyon & Go’s medical
compound, and gave promptly according to
directions, and now it is well, and thriving
as fast as if it had never been sick. .1 recom
mend the remedy t. all hog raisers as what
we have long needed. John Bolton.
