THE EAG LE.
Friday Morning, January 24, 1879.
The Teller committee have return
ed from New Orleans and are now at
Charleston.
New York has had three large fires
lately, involving the loss of seven
million dollars worth of property.
■ ♦
The Supreme Court will in a few
days complete its work for the pres
ent term. The next term begins in
February.
Mrs. Nathans, wife of Mr. Benj,
Nathans, the rich banker, who it will
be remembered was mysteriously
murdered several years ago, has just
died in New York.
That was a mean, selfish, sensation
al spirit which prompted congress to
refuse to pay for the destruction of
William and Mary College, by the
federal army during the war.
George H. White, of New Jersey,
had been sued for divorce by his wife,
but was taken sick and supposed to
be dying, when his wife hastened to
him and consented to forgive the
past, whereupon he recovered very
soon.

Senatorial nominations and elec
tions still continue. Dan Yoorhees
will represent Indiana. Logan beat
Oglesby in Illinois. Wilkinson Call
takes the place of Conover from
Florida. Louisiana and Arkansas
are having a pretty heated struggle
in their efforts to elect a senator.
Cochran, of the Ellijay Courier, is
asking tho readers of his paper if
they saw a comet last week. Really,
Cochran should not expose himself
in that way. Nobody would have
suspected he had been in such a con
dition if he had not asked suoh a
question. Be more discreet, friend.
Tho first number of the Blue Ridge
Echo, published at Cleveland, White
county, by John T. Wilson, Jr , has
made its appoarance. It is modest in
proportions, but is very sprightly
and if the good people of White
will sustain it, John will give them a
paper to be proud of. May the Echo
prosper.
Lftbt week a United States deputy
Marshal was arrested in Alabama for
a State offense and carried before a
State court, where he waß tried and
committed. Soon after the United
States District Judge issued a writ
of habeas corpus for his officer, and
tho question now is whether a South
ern State has any rights in the pun
ishment of criminals that Uncle Sam
is bound to respect.
The Senate committee on Privileges
and Elections have made up their re
port in the contested case between
Butler and Corbin of South Carolina
and will declare Corbin entitled to
tho seat. There is to be a minority
report which, it is said, Hon. B. H.
Hill is preparing. This effort to seat
Corbin is a scheme of the radicals to
hold their own in the senate,
they will have a lively tussle before
they get through with it.
The Potter committee have deter
mined to investigate the oipher tele
gram business and have asked an ap
propriation for that purpose from
congress. Of course the radicals op
pose it, because they know that Mr.
Tilden and the democracy will come
out with clean skirts, while it will
only seem to make darker and more
disgusting the frauds and infamy by
their own party who stole the presi
dency. Let the ciphers be brought to
light and translated.
We do not doubt but the recent
convention of northern men who live
in the south, held in Charlotte, N. C.,
will be productive of great good in
reassuring those of their brethren at
the North that there is nothing like
proscription at the South if they
come here with any laudable object
in view. Those who will not be favor
ably impressed are the rampant radi
cals who know that the salvation of
their party lies in keeping alive sec"
tional strife and bitter feelings. These
would not believe though one rose
from the dead.
The adoption of the joint resolu
tion at the late session of the legisla
ture authorizing the Governor to
inquire whether any penalties or for
feitures have been incurred by any
lessees of the penitentiary convicts
was not intended, as we understand
it, to require the Governor to forfeit
any of said leases, bat simply to
authorize the executive to ascertain
whether any of said lessees had vio
lated the law and their contracts with
the State by cruel treatment of the
convicts under their charge. If upon
investigation it should turn out that
these lessees had forfeited their con
tracts and incurred penalties, it
would be the duty of the Governor
to take the necessary steps to correct
the evils, but this could have been
done under the law as it stood before
the adoption of the resolution refer
red to. The resolution was intended
to direct special attention to the sub
ject, as charges of cruel and inhuman
treatment of convicts had been made
against some of the lessees. We
think a majority of the legislature
will oppose the abolition of the pres
ent lease system, but it is their duty
to correct any abuses or irregularities
that may now exist and require a
strict compliance with the law and
tho terms of lease by all parties.
Outrages on tlie Indians.
For years the policy of the govern
ment in the treatment of the Indians
and the execution of the laws on
the subject has been a crying shame
and an outrage on justice and fair
dealing. It would seem that it ought
to have been enough to have deprived
these people of their native homes in
the forests, and that the contracts
made to induce them to go to the
reservations should have been carried
out in good faith. Instead of this>
however, the work of the government
and its employees in this department
has been of the same character as
in all others, a system of frauds,
swindling and thievery. After making
fair promises of protection and plenty
of food and clothing, the interior de
partment has inveigled these savages
into giving up their claims to the
vast country in the northwest, and
placed them in a circumscribed terri
tory where they could not possibly
live unless these promises were car
ried out. But no sooner are the con
tracts closed and the Indians placed
in charge of the government agents
than peculation and swindling be
gins, and in a short time every pro
mise of the government is broken.
Of course, the Indians rebel against
such treatment, and this has been the
cause of the numerous outbreaks
and the costly campaigns of the last
few years.
It was this failure on the part of
the government to carry out its con
tracts and allowing its agents to pro
secute their unhallowed schemes for
personal gain that caused the war
with the Modocs and made it neces
sary to hang Captain Jack and several
of his followers. It was this same
thing that led to the massacre of
Custer and his band, and the self
banishment of the Sioux; and it was
this same policy that has cost the
government millions of money and
left the Indian question in no better
fix than it was years ago.
And now another outrage is report
ed by which a number of
men, women and children were kill
ed, because they dared to try to get
away from a place where they were
being slowly starved to death. It
seems that quite a number of prison
ers were confined at Fort Robinson,
but being goaded to desperation by
harsh treatment and starvation they
determined to break out and get
away. Accordingly, on the 15th,
they succeeded in escaping, but were
pursued by the United States forces
and the result is told in the following
dispatch:
“The stubborn courage of the In
dian braves was never so distinctly
shown as when these forty-nine
Cheyenne warriors attempted to es
cape, and their reckless despair in
facing death when overtaken proves
the stoical character of both the men
and women. Finding that escape
was hopeless the husbands and fath
ers chose death for themselves and
their wives and children rather than
surrender to the foe. They were a
portion of a proud tribe that had on
many occasions manifested a desire
to be at peace with the government
and neighboring tribes. With paltry
knives the Indians were permitted to
throw up embankments sufficient to
withstand the combined onslaught of
five or six companies of trained
troops.”
Another dispatch says, “about fifty
Indians are still out, of whom a
majority are women and children.
The killed and captured number one
hundred.” And in speaking of those
in prison the dispatch says :
“In the Indian prison are fifty-two
bucks, squaws and children. Of this
number fourteen are wounded. One
aged squaw has just died from the

recently passed by both houses of
congress, known as the “bill for the
payment of arrears of pensions,”
are: That all pensions which
have been granted under the
general laws regulating pensions, or
may hereafter be granted in conse
quence of death from a cause which
originated in the United States ser
vice during the continuance of the
late war of the rebellion, or in conse
quence of wounds, injuries or disease
received or contracted in said service
during said war of the rebellion,
shall commence from the date of
death or discharge from said service,
of the person on whose account the
claim has been or shall hereafter be
granted, or from the termination of
the right of the party having prior
title to such pension. The other
sections amend existing pension laws
so that claims now rejected because
not completed for five years, may
hereafter be completed, and prohibits
the taking of fees by agents or at
torneys for securing the arrears pro
vided for. The best opinion is that
it will require at least $30,000,000 to
meet this new demand upon the
Treasury. There is certainly no
bloody shirt in this bill.
The Cipher Telegrams.
On Tuesday, in the House of Re
presentatives, Mr. Potter called up
his resolution for investigating tho
cipher dispatches and appropriating
ten thousand dollars for that purpose’
Mr. Potter favored the measure in a
strong speech. Ben Butier opposed
it on the ground that congress had
no jurisdiction of the private corres
pondence of anybody, and should not
take part in the slander of any public
man. Hale, of Maine, favored the
resolution, as did also Mr. Hewitt.
This latter gentleman called the at
tention of Mr. Butler to the fact that
there were occasions in life when
there was something higher than a
judge or a member of congress. It
was when a sense of manhood struck
into the human heart. He stood here
in that spirit of manhood to invite
the fullest investigation of the tele
grams, those which had been publish
ed and those which had not. Justice
to Samuel J. Tilden demanded that
the investigation should be made;
justice to the great democratic par tv
demanded it; justice to the American
people who had elected him to the
highest office in their gift demanded
it. Let Mr. Tilden have an opportu
nity to confront his accusers and tra
ducers, and show the world that at
least one of the candidates at the
late presidential election who not a
miserable trickster willing to bargain
for the highest office in the gift of
the peoplo, Mr. Hewitt concludes
by saying: “Let, then, Mr. Tilden
have an opportunity to confront his
accusers, his traducers, his maligners
before a competent tribunal. Lot
the man who of right should occupy
to-day the executive chair go on the
witness-stand, if need be, and satisfy
the American people and the world,
that one, at least, of the candidates
of the two great parties whose ex
istence is essential to the mainte
nance of free government, is not a
miserable trickster, willing to make
bargains for the highest office in the
gift of the people, every hour’s
wrong .occupation of which only
intensifies the dishonor of its acqui
sition and the humiliation of its pos
session.
The resolution was adopted.
The new Georgia Loan.
Our special telegram from New
York printed in the. Constitution of
is calculated to puzzle and confuse
those who have maintained that the
issue of the Garrard bonds is in vio
lation of the federal organic law.
The telegram alluded to announces
Treasurer Renfroe, who is now in
New York,has already negotiated the
sale of twenty five thousand dollars
of the new four per cents at par, and
and was negotiating for the sale of a
much larger sum, the arrangements
for which were to have been perfec
ted yesterday. Treasurer Ren f roe’s
determination to negotiate at least a
portion of these securities in New
York was no doubt the result of a
desire to test in a practical way the
opinions of metropolitan bankers as
to the question which has been raised
in regard to the constitutionality of
the issue, for he is well aware that
the entire amount would have been
eagerly subscribed for by Georgia
bankers and small investors. The
fact, however, that northern capital
ists are ready and anxious to take the
Garrard bonds at par will, in some
sort, act as a stimulus to our own
citizens—-if, indeed, they ever needed
any—and the treasurer will hardly
be put to the necessity of advertis
ing for subscriptions to the new
loan.
jt is feared by some of the banks
the bonds will be used as a cir
culating medium. Very well. If
those people who invest in them pro
pose te make them the medium of
■riving bargains, who is to say to
■hem nay ? If the holder of a Geor
gia 8, or the holder of a government
Bond, desires to use it in making a
purchase, who is to say to him nay ?
If the Georgia 4s should come to be
msed as a circulating medium, well
Bind good—in fact, so much the bet
ter. They still remain bonds. The
fcrospects are that the opinions of
■hose who now find obj eCfc i olls to the
Securities will undergo a very rapid
Shange, when they perceive, what
luust now be evident to every one,
"hat the success of the loan is as
sured; and it will not be many weeks
before the general verdict will be that
Mr. Garrard’s measure is a good
thing for the State and the people.—
Atlanta Constitution.
It is stated that the yellow fever
experts who have been traveling
through the South with the congres
sional committee are unanimously of
the opinion that the fever last sum
mer was brought from Cuba and
that the committee will recommend a
very stringent national quarantine
This means, practically, the ruin of
southern export business. This is to
be much regretted, and the plan
should not be adopted if it is possi
ble to otherwise effectually head off
the disease. Why not try, as an ex
periment, Prof. Gamgee’s scheme ?
He says he can produce throughout
any ship in fifteen or twenty minutes
and at little cost, a temperature be
low the freezing point, and that the
germs of yellow fever are destroyed
at such a temperature. This, he says,
he can do while the wearing apparel
of passengers and crew are being dis
infected. If experts believe he can
do what he claims, he should by all
means have a trial before adopting
the cumbersome, expensive and des
tructive system referred to above.
HAMPTON’S OPINIONS.
A correspondent of the Columbia
Register has visited Gov. Hampton,
and elicited from him certain opinions
of great public questions.
Personally the Governor is getting
along very well, and expects to be
quite well by the 22d of Februaiy,
when he hopes to go to Charleston
and aid in the celebration of the day.
As to political matters, the Govern
or is frank and explicit. He wants a
bottom investigation of all alleged
outrages sought for by the Teller
committee, because, as he says, “no
good citizen, no wise man, no good
patriot can afford to cloak and cover
up fraud or corruption in elections.
It goes to the root of our institutions,
and it destroys the fruition of liberty
itself. But we have a right to ask
that the Teller committee shall tell
the whole story and not the half of
it. W hatever eomfort there is in it,
and I confess it is a very poor one,
duß and honest investigation will dis
cover as much irregularity on the re
publican side of our household as
the democratic. And this much I
may say, that so far as intimidation
is concerned, there was literally none
whatever on our side, whilst on the
republican side there are the most
unquestionable evidences of gross in
timidation/’ Acknowledging the ir
regularities on the democratic side in
South Carolina, he attributed them
more to the accursed condition of af
fairs left by radicalism than anything
else, the worst of it, however, being
that it was entirely superfluous in the
last elections. But he does not s*>e
what good investigation will do, if
one-sided. It must include Massa
chusetts as well as South Carolina,
Pennsylvania as well as Louisiana.
On the currency question, Hamp
ton said he was a hard-moneyed man
and did not comprehend the green
back philosophy at all. He favors
sticking to resumption, and not at
tempting to roponl or hamper it.
His democracy, he said, was that
of Jacksoj, tho true policy of which
“is to disentangle tho business trans
actions of tho country from the legi
timate financial conduct of govern
ment affairs. To mix the two things
is unwarranted by the constitution
and dangerous to the last degree.
Why, does not everybody see, from
what has transpired before us, that
the moment the government becomes
involved in its financial operations
with those of the country at large, the
moneyed men of the country and the
great industrial classes become in
volved in ‘an irrepressible conflict,’
even more terrible than that which
the great New York politician of
former days pressed upon the atten
tion of the country.”
As to the campaign of ISSO, Hamp
ton favored dropping the financial
issue as a leading element, and adopt
that which embraces the highest
patriotism. “A constitutional rule, self
government and no sectionalism should
be the sum and substance of our
platform, fitted to good, honorable,
trusted and tried standard-bearers,
it matters not whether they be from
the east or west. I have no patience
with an eastern democracy and west
ern democracy, a northern democracy
and the southern democracy. It in
no democracy at all that is not as
wide as the whole country.’’ He be
lieved the sober second thought of
the people of this great country will
go back to the constitution of our
fathers with one consent and find in
its wide besom what we all want,
with the exception of a class of
wicked mischief makers — peace, bless
ed heaven born peace!
He was convinced that the love and
prayers of the people saved his life,
and closed with this thrilling narra
tive:
“Whilst I was lying here at the
point of death and had become ut
terly indifferent whether I lived or
died, I got a letter from an old
Methodist preacher, one of my old
friends. He wrote me word inform
ing me of the deep and devont peti
tions put up in behalf of my restora
tion by the Methodist Conference
then in session at Newberry. He
then urged upon me to exercise my
will to live in response to the suppli
cations of the people of the whole
State, who are praying for me night
and day in every .household in the
State. My sister, who had trembling
ly hrought the letter to my bedside
and read it to me, then urged me to
listen to the kind, loving words of
the man of God and to rouse my will
to live; and I promised her to do so.
I fell into a deep sleep that night,
and the most vivid dream I ever ex
perienced in my life crossed my
slumbers. I dreamt I was in a spa
cious room, and that in it I was
moved to all parts of the State, so
that I met my assembled friends
everywhere I remember most dis
tinctly of ail old Beaufort, where I
had last been. It seemed there were
immense assemblages, and as I look
ed down upon them a grave person
age approached me and touched me
on the shoulder and said to me:
‘These people are all praying for you.
Live, live, live!’ I never realized
anything like it before. It seemed a
vision. I woke the next morning
feeling the life blood creeping through
my veins, and I told my family the
crisis was passed and I would get
better.”
Like our own Stephens, Governor
Hampton seems to be under the spe
cial protection of a High Power,
destined to escape miraculously many
snares to life, for the greater good of
mankind and as personally manifest
ing the reign, even on earth, of the
Lord of Glory. —Augusta Chronicle
and Constitutionalist.
We are glad to note that several of
the superior court judges in the State
are charging the grand juries on the
subject of illegal voting and the buy
ing and selling of votes. These are
most corrupt practices and the law
against them should be strictly en
forced. The full exercise of the elec
tive franchise is the one thing that
makes every American citizen a sov
reign, and if a man is found who
does not value the light more than
to sell it, or if he would refuse to
comply with the State regulations
for the exercise of it, then he should
be disfranchised and treated as a
griminal.

A Deacon in the Senate.
New York Sun: We learn with in
terest that the coming senator from
Connecticut is a deacon in the Con
gregational church. There are few
places where deacons of the right
sort are more needed than in the
United States Senate. Deacon Platt
will be thrown into association with
men of sin, will find himself exposed
to temptations undreamed of in
Meriden, and will see and hear much
to grieve him. Bat let him fix his
eye on Deacon Richard Smith of
Cincinnati. If he endeavors daily
to imitate that unapproachable pat
tern of true goodness, he will come
out all right.
In the future.
Conyers Examiner: It is stated
that Governor Colquitt says he will
not be a candidate for re-election.
We do not claim to boa phrophet, or
the boh of a prophet, but if there is
anything in the signs of tho times,
General Lucius J. Gartroll stands a
capital chance of being our next
governor. The general has rendered
may patriotic services to his native
State, and Georgia would honor her
self in honoring so able and distin
guished a citizen. As regards Gov
ernor Colquitt, his services need not
bo lost to the State. In the United
States senate as tho successor of Ben
Hill, his ability, chivalry and purity
of character would give him a place
by the sido of our gallant Gordon.

she sets her teeth hard, holds her
breath, makes a little pigeon dip at
the foul lips of the grinding beast,
and then, pale with horror, flies to
the kitchen, where, if you follow her,
you will find her disinfecting with
soap and water. Many of the blessed

assures him that he will discover that
tea culture has long been carried on
in Liberty county and that the olive

Georgia the general will see whether
it is possible to improve the luscious

Georgia Matters in Washington.
“A. W. R.,” in Macon Telegraph ;
The recent unfortunate differences
that have grown up between leaders
and representative men in our State
are subjects of keen and general in
terest and conversation. What they
foreshadow no man can possibly tell,
but much apprehension is expressed
as to their bearing upon the future
of the party in Georgia. Democrats
from all parts of the country are
unanimous in the opinion that these
differences can and should be ad
justed, and that if they are not, the
most deplorable results will be likely
to ensue. The radicals are chuck
ling over the situation as it now ex
ists down there, and loudly boasting
that the end will be the loss of Geor
gia to the party on State certainly,
and very possibly on Presidential
issues in 1880. They say that the
breach cannot be healed, and that
Georgia will surely be lost to the
democrats. They confidently claim
that when the rupture comes they
will hold the balance of power and
make their own terms. They also
claim to know exactly who can be
counted on to actively engineer this
break, and that the latter can not be
placated upon any terms short of an
absolute and unconditional surrender
by the party to them in every essen
tial point. If they are not allowed
to do just exactly what they please,
and as they please, the radicals con
fidently predict these gentleman will
destroy the organization. I think
the people should be put on notice
of these things and therefore I refer
to them. I feel positively sure there
is danger ahead which, if not aver
ted, will work their ruin. If the
party needs purging, let the medi
cine be administered by doctors of
our own selection, not by quacks and
outsiders who don’t care whether
the patient lives or dies, so that they
fill their own pockets. But let peo
ple decide for themselves. It is
their affair, and woe to the self-seek
ers and plotters who shall attempt
to lead them astray.

THE GEORGIA BAPTIST SEMINARY.

For the Education of Young Ladies.
The Spring term will open Monday, the 6th of January next. A full corps of instrao
t'-on will be ready for the several departments of Science, Literature, Music, Fine Arts,
aid the various elementary branches of theoretical and practical education, suitable for
daughters. In the short space o ‘four months, the Seminary has stepped out upon the
arena ot action,unfurled her banner for the education of young ladies,and now challenge*
c imparison, ifa order and efficiency, with similar institutions in the South, however pre
tentious or venerable with age. The prices of provisions—corn, meat, lard, fl ur—are
lower than ever since the war. Our people have become poorer and poorer, o Wag*s
have gone so low that the daily laborer can scarcely support his family, much less educate
his ehi'dren. Tuition aud 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 auy similar College io Geo.-gia. S6B to $Bl will pay for board, tuition, fuel, lights for
our long term, which will end June 26.
