THE EAGLE.
Friday Morning, Jnnnvyß 7. 187 P
Brunswick has experienced a slight
earthquake. What with polar waves,
earthquakes and such things that
region is having a novel experience.
Gen. James Shields will be electe
Senator of Missouri for the shor
term. Gov. Vance has been nomi
nated for senator by acclamation in
North Carolina.
We are glad to learn from the
Macon Telegraph & Messenger that
Mercer University is in a highly
prosperous condition haviDg openeo
the spring term with one hundred
and twenty-five students.
A dispatch says: "Whisky raids in
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia are reported. A wagon and
two mules, with twenty-two gallons
of unstamped whisky, was captured,
and the owner, Thomas Blakely, of
Rabun county, Georgia, was arres
ted.
Prince Bismarck, the German
Chancellor, has introduced a bill in
the Reichstag to punish every mem
ber of that body who uses any but
the mildest language about the gov
ernment or each other. This is sup
pressing free speech with a ven
geance.
England is having a terrible ex
perience in her manulacturing inter
ests. Wages are reduced, laborers
are striking and mills are being
stopped. Unless something is soon
done to alleviate the condition of af
fairs that country may have to endure
a revolution.
It is stated in the dispatches that
the suit of Gen. G. W. C. Leo to re
cover the Arlington estates which
was appropriated by the Federal
Government, will commence at Al
exandria on the 21st of this month.
It is hoped the courts wiH allow jus
tice to be done and the property re
stored to the true owner.
Hon. Mr. Schleicher, of Texas,
died in Washington on the 10th.
Funeral ceremonies were conducted
in the house on Monday afternoon
and a committee was appointed from
the senate and house of representa
tives to escort his remains to San
Antonio. Representative Thornburgh
of Tennessee, was also reported veiy
low with pneumonia.
The number of crimes committed
in various portions of the country
continue without any apparent dimi
nution. The reports pour in every
day of some of the most horrible
and blood curdling deeds that can be
imagined. It is true that most of
these are confined to the North, but
of lato they are becoming alarmingly
frequent in the South.
Before the Blame-Toller committee
on Saturday, Wm. A. Long, of Cad
do, editor of the Standard, stated
that he considered District Attorney
Leonard responsible for the troubles
in that parish in the lato election,
aud charged that “he is now accusing
us of doing what he advocated in
past years. The election was fair
and peaceable, and the negroes voted
without molestation.”
We call attention to an article on
the first page on “Confluent Prayer.”
It is from the pen of Dr. H. H.
Tucker, editor of the Christian Index
and will be found to be good reading
both in the matter it contains and
the style in which it is written. The
views set fourth are somewhat novel
and remarkable and are calculated
to afford great comfort to the Chris
tian in his weary pilgrimage.
The democratic senators in con
gress have held a caucus meeting for
the purpose of determining what
shall be done in reference to the re
solution of Edmunds, radical, which
declares that the three last constitu
tional amendments should be more
strictly enforced. A committee of
seven, Senators Thurman, Eaton
Gordon, McDonald, Saulsbury, Mor
gan and Harris, were appointed to
•report a plan for the caucus at a
future meeting.
One of the most remarkable feats
of pedestrianism has been accom
plished in New York, by Mrs, An
derson, who undertook sometime in
December to walk 2,700 quarter
miles in 2,700 consecutive quarter
hours. Many predictions of failure
were made and no one scarcely be
'lieved she would be successful even
up to the very last, but she has come
through triumphant and demonstra
ted that she hasgreater powers of en
durance than perhaps any other per
son can boast.
Hon. B. H. Hill has published a
sixteen page pamphlet addressed “To
the people of Georgia,” which he is
circulating extensively. It is a com
prehensive review of his quarrel with
Murphy about the feo in the North
eastern railroad bond matter. Mr.
Hill does not, as far as we can see,
bring out any new points that were
not in evidence before the legislative
committee. His general remarks
about corruption and using public
office for private gain are all very
good and the people will endorse
them, but he shows ia this address
that he is mad both with Murphy
Gov. Colquitt and we cannot think
that any good will be accomplished
for his people or party by his ad
dress.
Was it Haste or Delay,
That was a wretched affair that
occurred at Mauch Chunk, Pa on the
4'ih, whereby two men were hanged
a minute before a reprieve arrived
from the Governor. Shaip & Mc-
Donnell had been sentenced to be
hanged, but an effort was being made
to get a reprieve. The Governor did
not reach his office until a quarter
before ten, and after hearing the at
torney’s plea for a respite he decided
about 10:30 to grant it. A telegram
was then written and filed in the
telegraph office at 10:30 and sent at
10:36. When the reprieve arrived
the drop had fallen and the men were
dangling. Intense excitement pre
vailed. It seems that the execution
was private and the Sheriff did not
notice the banging at the jail door
because the wife of one of the men
had been very violent a little while
before and he thought she was the
cause of the noise. In a short time
however, he sent out to have
the disturbance quelled when it was
fonnd the reprieve had arrived. This
increased the excitement and instead
of cutting the men down at once and
trying to resusticaie them, everybody
forgot them. After a time this idea
was suggested but the men had been
hanging thirty minutes and were en
tirely dead The wailings and re
proaches of the relatives of the cul
prits is said to have been terrible.
Somebody is doubtless blameable,
though whether it is the Governor
who was too deliberate or the Sher
iff who was too hasty, or whether
the death of the men is attributable
to the excitement which made all
present lose their heads, cannot easi
ly be determined. All interested
can seek consolation in these words
of the dispatch however, “no hopes
were entertained for their final par
don and the reprieve of the Govern
or was only for a few days.”
A Wild Goose Chase.
It is stated that Rev. Dr. De La
Matyr, the greenback congressman
elect from Indiana, has been selected
to make a tour through the South for
the purpose of educating the people
in greenback doctrines and thereby
build up that party for the cam
paign of 1880. He will be followed
by others in the summer. Of this
project and the honorable crusader,
the Augusta Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist says:
Ho had bettor have remained at
home. No movement so endangers
the success of the democratic party
in 1880 as this greenback or national
movement, and its agitation will do
more t > make Grant or some other
republican President than anything
else. The southern people need no
enligbfcment from such a source, and
Southern Legislators desire no such
apostle of discord. The fact of Mr.
De La Matyr having left the ministry
for politics temporarily will injure in
stead of helping him with Methodists
aud oilier religious denominations in
this section. Political preachers are
not popular here, and it is an insult
to Southern Methodists to suppose
that it can be led by the nose by any
such crusader. The members of that
exemplary church would, upon a
question of politics, prefer a profess
ed politician’s address to the harangue
of a minister out of business. Mr.
De La Matyr is eugaged in a wild
adventure. Ho goes out to shear.
He wiU go back shorn.
Senatorial Elections.
Tho time for choosing new United
States senators has come in several
States and the elections are progress
ing. In Pennsylvania, Don Cameron
has been selected as his own suc
cessor and in Colorado, Prof. N. P.
Hill has been chosen in place of
Chaffee. In the first there is of
course, no improvement, but it is
stated that the latter is decidedly for
the better. Mr, Hill being a man of
culture and in every respect superior
to tho man whom he succeeds. In
North Carolina, Senator Merrimon,
who has made a good member, has
declined re-election and Gov. Vance
will doubtless be chosen. In Louisi
ana it is not certain who will be elec
ted, though several votes have been
taken in caucus, but it is likely Sena
tor Eustis will succeed himself. In
Nevada, John P. Jones was re-elec
ted. Other States will elect shortly.
A fellow named A. O. H. P. Se
horn has just been arrested in Mur
freesboro, Tennessee, for swindling
the Odd Fellows’ insurance company.
Ho had arranged a deep-laid and
very shrewd plan by which he got
insurance money on dead men who
never had lived except in the mind
of Sehorn. He carried on his schemes
for a long time, but was detected at
last and is now in durance vile. We
are surprised that the Odd Fellows
should ever have allowed themselves
duped by this fellow. They might
have known that a man with such a
name as A. O. H. P. Sehorn wouldn’t
do to trust. Why, just think of it,
Azariaii Obadiah Hezekiah Pekahiah
Sehorn. He was certainly born to
be hung—to his name; and his name
may yet hang him to a limb. There
ought never to have been any doubt
that A. O. H. P. was a rascal.
We are glad to notice that Gen.
“Tige” Anderson, the veteran con
federate brigadier, has been elected
to the office of Chief of Police in
Atlanta. This is an honor worthily
bestowed and he will execute the
duties of the place with energy and
skill.
Gov. Robinson’s recent message
to the New York legislature shows
that State in a better financial con
dition than it has enjoyed for yeans
A Tribute to the IV. teiuory of the
Late Hon* Julian Haitridge.
That veteran jurist and distin
guished poet, Judge Henry R. Jack
son, has lost none of the graces of
rhetoric with advancing years, and
his imagination and powers of utter
ance are still as Captivating and bril
liant as at any period of bis career.
Seldom have we seen anything so
faultless ard beautiful as his remarks
to the bar of Savannah when assem
bled to take ailing Action upon the
death of the departed Georgia states
man. We present them entire to
our readers as reported in the News:
May it please your Honor: I rise
to second the application made to
the court by my friend; but this I
cannot do as a mere matter of form.
It 8 r ems to me that the circumstan
ces which now surround and oppress
us require something more than the
formal routine which has heretofore
characterized similar occasions. To
me, certainly, this occasion is pecu
liar. It so chanced that I occupied
the chair now filled by yourself when
our brother who is dead was admit
ted to the bar. Hence, so far at
least at his professional career is con
cerned, it may be said with literal
truth that I sat by his cradle; I shall
follow his hearse. How rapidly the
professional boy came to bend Apol
lo’s I >w; how gracefully, bow effect
ively, he sped from it the keen, flash
ing arrow, all who frequented this
court-room during the first decade
of his professional life must needs re
member well and we who came in
conflict with him at that and at later
periods in his life, can bear wit
ness to his peculiar power; a power
born of clear, incis.ve thought,
couched in pure aud nervous diction,
set by nature’s own hand to the rich
music of the sweetest, the softest, the
most persuasive of voices; whose
winning witchery seemed to us, in the
prejudice of antagonism, to be too
well “skilled to make the worse ap
pear the better cause;” “smoothing
the raven doom of darkness till it
smiled.” And the power of his
thought, the grace of his manner, the
captivation of his smile, the music of
his voice, were all but the reflex of
the inner man; where the elements
of our common humanity were so
happily combined and attempered
that the commanding strength of the
man’s head seemed to be affixed to
the winning gentleness of the wo
man’s heart. Sir, the history of
men who have risen to distinction
among all civilized people, establishes
the fact that they are to be divided
into two grand classes, distinct an i
clearly defined; the one purely intel
lectual, which may well be typified
by the great palm tree of the East,
that shoots up, branches, into glit
tering isolation, reflecting the first
ray of the rising and the lat i ray of
the setting sun from its solitary head.
It falls but to wake the far off echoes
of the desert. The other may be
fitly represented by the oak that
grows in the wood, intertwining its
arms with the arms of lesser trees,
attracting to its stalwart breast the
tender creeper, bearing upon its
strong limbs the dependent parasite,
living in close companionship with
all around it, and. wuea it fa n s, rend
ing the bosom of the forest, leaving
behind it the broken branch, the
crushed bud, the lacerated and bleed
ing trunk. Pure intellect we ad
mire; we love the heart, the heart
alone. Of the man of heart alone
can it be truly said that, while he
lived, none who knew him well could
fail to love him,; and now that he is
dead, when the memory of his intel
lectual superiority cannot press the
rancour of env, and jealousy beyond
the grave’s “cold obstruction,’' the
memory of the heart will survive like
“a thing of beauty which men will
not willingly let die,” and none shall
“name him but to praise.”
The Weekly Constitution has been
struck by what it terms a subscrip
tion wave, whereby the
that paper has increased very rapidly
lately, as many as 140 new names
being added in one day. Giving its
experience of the effect produced by
this “wave” it says: “It must not
be understood by our friends that
this is a protest against subscription
waves. We rather like them. They
are far more comfortable and com
forting than polar waves, and we
have nerved ourselves up to a point
where we can stand them if they
last all the year round.
We have had experience in this
matter ourselves and can testify to
the exhilerating effect these “waves”
produce on the newspaper man, es
pecially when accompanied by the
cash. We feel even now that it
would not be unpleasant to have a
heavy strike from this direction.
And now since the Arctic wave has
passed, what say some 1500 or
2000 of our people to a project start
ing one of the subscription kind in
the direction of tho Eagle office.
This number would about double
our list and we would feel happy.
Mr. Garrard, the father of the nsw
bond bill has been interviewed in
reference to its constitutionality and
other points connected with it, and
expresses himself as fully satisfied
that none of the objections that have
been made can stand, but that the
new bonds will be found legitimate
in all respects and a necessity in
paying what the State owes. The
only question is as to their sale and
he is satisfied that the people will
take them readily and they will sup
ply long felt wants among those who
have small a amount to invest.
The Sumter Republican says Abram
Hale, an old negro man, aged 60
years, on the plantation of Mr. Mor
gan, in Dooly county, has twenty-six
children grown, twenty-two, of whom
are now living. Abram is a faithful
and hard worker. Last year he
made seven bales of cotton, two hun
dred and fifty bushels of corn, and
plenty of potatoes and meat to do
him until the next crop is ready for
use.
Among Our Exchanges,
The Democrats’ Choice.
Bridgeport Farmer.
The first choice of the democratic
party for the republican presidential
nominee is ex-President Grant; the
second, Secretary Sherman; the third
Senator Blaine.
Thurman’s Chance.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The friends of Gen. Tom Ewing
want him to be elected Governor,
then made Senator. This plan would
push Thurman to the front as the
man for the W hite House. Time will
tell.
Conkling’s Little Joke
•‘LaGrange Reporter.' 1
Conkling says he would rather
have Grant for President than to be
President himself. This shows how
far a man can get away from the
truth when he starts in that direc
tion.
His Own Successor.
Bainbridge Democrat.
The Darien Gazette predicts that
Norwood will succeed Hill in the
senate. We believe that Ben Hill will
be his own successor. How we great
men do differ ? Will somebody now
step in and head us both.
The Negro Vote,
Franklin Register.
Let the colored people remember
that it is the democrat". who are
their friends, and that it is the radi
cals of the north who would have
them deprived of voting, and in 1880
vote solidly for presidency for the
democratic nominee. By doing this
of course they will command still
higher respect from their democratic
white friends, besides doing what is
their duty.
A Useless Expense.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Out in Indianapolis they have three
murderers who are to be hanged on
the 20th of this month. The Sheriff
is a kind-hearted man, and hates to
inflict the penalty of the law on them
outdoors because the weather is so
cold. He, therefore, has asked the
county to provide him a good big
room and warm it up comfortable
and nice. It never occurred to him
what a warm climate those fellows
were going to after they were hang
ed, and how much better it would be
for them to keep cool until the last.
Mrs. Senator Bruoe.
New York Tiibune.
Mrs. Senator Bruce is said by a
Washington correspondent to haVe
received her callers on New Year’s
day with a grace and ease “which
would have done credit to a woman
older and of longer social experience.
She is pretty, graceful, with a com
plexion so light that in nine ball
rooms out of ten at the noith her
race would not bo suspected, with
some ease of conversation and taste
enough to dress simply. Her dress
was from Worth—a black velvet
dress cut en princesse, trimmed with
black lace and jet, and with a spread
ing fan train. A diamond cross
hung in the angle of a black lace
fichu.”
A Utilitarian Age.
Macon Telegraph.
People are always talking about
“this utillitarian age,” and yet it ap
pears to us more people are intense
ly busy doing nothing, at great labor
and expense, than were ever heard of
before in the history of this mundane
sphere. People walking against time
under shelter, round a ring—people
eating against time and the com
mandments—people floating against
time—people risking their lives in alj
kinds of profitless exposure—and to
day another starts up to sea how
long he can skate without stopping.
Let this “utillitarian age” provide for
some profitable application of all
this wasted power and muscle. A
corporation or county tread-mill—a
plowing or hoeing ground—or any
other contrivance for usefully testing
the strength, agility or endurance of
the people.
He was Sure of Heaven.
New York Sun.
“Sure of Heaven?” exclaimed Un
cle Thorp, in reply to an interroga
tion of a Right Reverend who called
to inquire as to his soul’s welfare, and
bad remained to tea to insure his own
corporeal body’s well-being; he had a
peculiar way of always making his
pas' oral calls at such a time as would
insure a good square meal. “Sure of
Heaven! Well, I think I am. I ain’t
none of your narrow-minded religious
fanatics, thinking no one’s going fo
Heaven but me; I ain’t so bigoted as
that. Why, don’t the Bible say God
loves all of us wmrms, and don’t the
Bible say, too, He made us in His
own image, and do ye suppose He’s
going to burn himself everlastingly
in effigy? Sure of Heaven?” said he
as he balanced a dainty morsel of
meat on his fork in close proximity
to his mouth, while he finished his
idea. “Sure of Heaven? why, I’m
just as sure of going there as I am of
eating this meat!” Just at this junc
ture the meat fell to the floor, and
was quickly eaten by the dog. The
expression which overspread Uncle
Thorp’s features would have made an
excellent frontispiece for Milton’s
“Paradise Lost.”
The hay crop of 1876 was valued at
1372,000,000.

ILIVER
IH This important organ weighs but about three
Bj pounds, and all the blood in a living person (about
Eg three gallons) passes through it at least once every
™ half hour, to nave the bile and other impurities
e strained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural
■V* purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes
f*'! torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car
l ied through the veins to all parts of the system,
and in trying to escape through the pores of the
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
_ color. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys-
M pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bili
] ousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles,
Sick and Sour Stomach* and general debility fol
a low. Murrell's Hepatine, the great vegetable
discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
fyj off from one to two ounces of bile each time the
pj blood passes through it, as long as there is an ex-
K cess of bile; and the effect of even a few doses
upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking
skin, will astonish all who try it —they being the
I first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bili
ous diseases and Liver complaint is made certain
by taking Hepatine in accordance with directions.
Headache is generally cured in twenty minutes,
and no disease that arises from the Liver can exist
if a fair trial is given.

THE GEOBGIA BAPTIST SEMINARY.
Hall County, Georgia*
For tiio Education of Young ladies.
The Spring term will open Monday, the 6th of January next. A full corps of instruc
tion wiil be ready for the several departments of Science, Literature, Music, Fine Arts,
and the various elementary branches of theoretical and practical education, suitable for
daughters. In the short space o flour months, the Seminary has stepped out upon the
arena of action,unfurled her banner for the education of young ladies,and now challenges
comparison, iu order and efficiency, with similar institutions in the South, however pre
tentious or venerable with age. The prices of provisions—corn, meat, lard, flour—are
lower than ever since the war. Our people have become poorer and poorer. Wages
have gone so low that the daily laborer can scarcely support his family, much less educate
uis chid ten. tuition ami board for girls ought to be reduced accordingly. We have
made a bold step in that direction. Our rates are from 25 to 50 per cent, less than those
of any similar College in Georgia. S6B to SB4 will pay for board, tuition, fuel, lights, for
our long term, which will end June 26.
