Intercepted telegrams from Hayes
to the New York Tribune : “No more

Hayes will not run again, but John
Sherman will, and once in, Ruther
ford will be taken care of, of course.
They call Ben Butler a “Confeder

graphical error. They mean brigand.

To the Pdbile.
With this Usue Mr. H. W. J. Ham
becomes associated with me in the
editorial conduct and business man
agement of the Eagle. Mr. Ham is
a journalist of several years’ texpe
rience and training,[and is recognized
as one of the most pointed, forcible
and pithy writers on the Georgia
press. This arrangement will doubt
less add to the interest of the Eagle,
and it is the purpose of the present
management to keep it in the front
rank as a live, progressive and reli
able newspaper. J. E. Red wine.
The above announcement of Mr.
Redwine explains itself.
To the discharge of the duties
which I assume with this issue, I
bring seven years of journalistic ex
perience. It has been good, bad and
indifferent. I trust I have learned
from it those principles which must
be the basis of success, and to avoid
those errors which mar and endan
ger it.
This is a fast age. It is an age of
railroads and telegraphs. Events
crowd upon each other in rapid suc
cession. To keep pace with them,
one has need to be active, alert and
untiring. Life is too short, the
world whirls too fast, for those who
run in the grooves of our grandfathers
to keep up with the procession. To
keep the Eagle abreast of the times,
up with the progression of the nine
teenth century, to make it, in shorty
a pithy, sparkling, epigrammatic
epitome of the everyday doings of
the wicked, busy world in which we
live, shall be my object; to make it
interesting to its readers, to advance
their intellectual, social and moral
welfare, to uphold, foster and cherish
every interest of our State and sec
tion, to advocate the pure, the good
and the true, shall be some of the
ends I shall always strive to keep in
view. By iffi future course, let my
success or failure be judged. Should
I succeed, the approbation of those
in whose interest I labor will be my
highest reward.
Respectfully,
H. W. J. Ham.
Bob Toombs as an Independent.
The so-called Independent Press
of Georgia is very busy just now
giving currency to the inane vapor
ings of some cross-road’s box-whit
tler about Bob Toombs as an inde
pendent candidate for governor. It
would be amusing, did not their lack
of sense move us to pity, to note the
wild tom-foolery of this class of peo
ple. General Toombs has been
guilty of some very foolish and ill
advised things in his life, but it does
seem to us that any man or set
of men who allow to bring him out
on any such a platform as that of
open opposition to organized democ
racy recon without their host. Not
withstanding the fact that General
Toombs is a man of Btrong and pro
nounced personal convictions, and
they not always in harmony with the
views of organized democracy in sec
tional or local issues, still we do not
believe that this grand old Roman,
whose voice has ever been raised
against the republican party will
consent to have the locks of his
great strength shorn off by the Deli
lah of independentism, that witching
political sorceress who would thus
hand him over bound into the hands
of the enemies of his country. Never
till we see the pronunciamento from
his own lips, will we believe that this
grand old man, grand even in the
ruins which the great destroyer time
has piled about him, the head and
front and warmest apostle of a con
vention to undo the work of radical
ism, its chiefest spirit, who went
down into his open pocket and put up
the money to pay its expenses; nev
er will we believe that he will be
come the Sampson by whom the
disaffected shall drag down this fair
temple of peace and prosperity which
he has helped to build. Let us
hear no more of such flap-doodle.
The Agricultural Convention.
The annual convention of the State
Agricultural Society assembled in
Hawkinsville on Tuesday. We go to
press too early to give anything like
even a synopsis of the proceedings
From Wednesday’s telegrams we
learn that the proceedings were open
ed with prayer by Rev. George N
McCall, after which Mayar C. C.
Kibbee delivered an address of wel
come, which was responded to on be
half of the convention by Hon. L. F.
Livingston, of Newton. Col. Thomas
Hardeman, President of the society,
then delivered a most powerful, elo
quent and ringing address, which is
spoken of as one of the finest efforts
of even this silver-tongued orator.
The attendance was quite large and
the citizens of Hawkinsville threw
wide their doors to the delegates in
viting them to hospitable good cheer
without money and without price-
Brother Woods, of the Disjjatch, is
taking care of the press.
Later. —Since writing the above
the telegrams of yesterday inform
us that the Fair will be held this
year in Macon beginning on the 27th
of October.
Like the delicate and evanescent
fantasy of a dream it is beginning
to steal over the people of this re
public that the present administra
tion consists of a very small modicum
of Hayes and a vasty plethora of
John Sherman. The villainy ought
to be more equally mixed.

The Cincinnati Enquirer thinks
that Senator Bayard is too conserva

He fears the opinions of his political
opponents and neglects to secure the
approval of his own people. Senator
Bayard does himßelf harm.
There are tender home scenes on
which the curtain of domestic secre
cy should always be drawn. One of
them is when a woman finds the let

weeks ago in her husband’s coat
pocket. If the letter was one desir
ing samples, add an additional cur
tain.
We are a little astonished to see in
the Constitution a long editorial arti*
cle, lauding the Harpers. A more
prejudiced narrow-souled set of
vipers than these same Harpers never
lived. Their persistent villification
and misrepresentation of Southern
people proves this, and not a dollar
of southern patronage should they
receive.
It is a little funny how the cipher
dispatch business started by the New
York Tribune has bitten the bosom
that warmed it into being. They
started out to prove that the demo,
erats tried to buy electoral votes.
On the contrary they have proven
that we could have bought, and
would not, they accepted what we
refused and did buy. Funny, is it
not?
An item about a man somewhere
in Ohio who took an orphan girl’s
fortune of SIO,OOO and returned her

Alas, how rare, Usually they spend

grows up, and make her wear mock
lacej mits and four cents calico the
balance of her life.

Cincinnati is of opinion that she is
being most awfully and outrageously
swindled in the management of her
Southern Railroad enterprise, and
we have not a doubt but what her
t t •
suspicions are correct. We do hope,
however, that the stealing will stop
and the work will commence ere
long, for we much desire to see the
completion of the great work.
Celluloid is rapidly coming into
use in various of the arts, the latest
being the celluloid collar, which will
last a life time and can be sponged
off when dirty. We hail it with joy
for then no more will the villainous
washerwoman iron our neck Wear
wrong side out, and tear out the but
tonholes, by and through which
much profanity will be saved. It is
getting easier to get to heaven every
year.
Senator Bruce, the colored senator
from Mississippi, presided over the
United States Senate for a brief space
the other day. Yea, verily, have we
fallen upon strange times; a “nigger *
in the Vice-President’s chair, and
Ben Butler at the mourner’s bench-
Wrap the old flag around us and let
us lay us down in peace now that we
have seen this salvation. The year
of jubilee has arrove.
Ben Butler is either training for
something, or else the millenium is
about to, pounce down on us before
we can collect what is due us. H
said the other day that he hoped to
live to see the day when federal and
confederate soldiers would both be
pensioned alike. Can this be the Ben
who imprisoned New Orleans ladies
for wearing confederate flags? If so
and the old reprobate is really re
penting give him plenty of fresh air,
and all the elbow room he wants,

THE SUN FOR 1879.
The Sun will be printed every day during
the year to come. Its purpose and method
will be the same as in the past: To present
all the news in a readable shape, and to tell
the truth though the heavens fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will oontinue
to be indeDendent of everybody and every
thing save the Truth and its own convictions
of duty. That is the only policy which an
honest newspaper need have. That is the
policy which has won for this newspaper the
confidence and friendship of a wider con
stituency than was ever enjoyed by any oth
er American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people.
It is not for the rich man against the poor
man, or for the poor man against the rich
man, but it seeks to do equal justice to all
interests in the community. It is not the
organ of any person, class, sect or party.
There need be no mystery about its loves
and bates. It is for the honest man against
the rogues every time. It is for the honest
Democrat as against the dishonest Republi
can, and for the honest Republican as
against the dishonest Democrat. It does
not take its cue from the utterances of any
politician or political organization. It gives
its support unreservedly when men or meas
ures are in agreement with the Constitution
and with the principles upon which this Re
public was founded for the people. When
ever the constitution and constitutional
principles are violated—as in the outrageous
conspiracy of 1876, by which a man not
elected was placed in the President’s office,
where he stills remains—it speaks oat for
the right. That is The Sun’s idea of inde
pendence. In this respeot there will be no
change in its programme for 1879,
The Sun has fairly earned the hearty ha
tred of rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all
sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that
hatred not less in the year 1879, than in
1878, 1877, or any year gone by. The Sun
will continue to shine on the wicked with
unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be
kept constantly before the people, the Sun
does not propose to make itself in 1879 a
magazine of ancient history. It is printed
for the men and women of to-day, whose
concern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day.
It has both the disposition and the ability J
to afford its readers the promptest, fullest,
and most accurate intelligence of whatever
in the wide world is worth attention. To
this end the resources belonging to well
established prosperity will be liberally em
ployed.
The present disjointed condition of par
ties in this country, and the uncertainty of
Jthe future,lend an extraordinary significance
to the events of the coming year. The dis
cussions of the press, the debates and acts
of congress, and the movements of the
leaders in every section of the republic, will
have a direct bearing on the presidential
election of 1880—an event which must be
regarded with the most anxious interest by
every patriotic American, whatever his po
litical ideas or allegiance. To these ele
ments of interest may be added the proba
bility that the democrats will control both
houses of congress, the increasing feebleness
of the fraudulent administration, and the
spread and strengthening everywhere of a
healthy abhorrence of fraud in any form.
To present with accuracy and clearness the
exact situation in each of its varying phases,
and to expound, according to its well
known methods, the principles that should
guide us thrc ugh the labyrinth, will be an
important part of the Sun's work for 1879.
We have the means of making the Sun,
as a political, a literary and a general news
paper, more entertaining and more useful
than ever before; and we mean to apply
them freely.
Our rates of subscription remain un
changed. For the Daily Sun, a four-page
sheet of twenty-eight columns, the price by
mail, postpaid, is 55 cents a month, or
$6.50 a year; or, including the Snodiy
paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six col
umns, the price is 65 cents a month or
$7.70 a year, postage paid.
The Sunday edition of the Sun is also
furnished separately at $1.20 a year, post
age paid.
The prioe ef .the Weekly Sun, eight pages
fifty-six oolumns, is $1 a year, postage
paid. For clubs of ten sending $lO we
will send an extra copy free. Address

For the Education of Young Ladies.
The Spring term will open Monday, the 6th of January next. A full corps of instruc
tion will be. ready tor the several departments of Science, Literature, Music, Fine Arts
and the various elementary branches of theoretical an 1 practical education, suitable far
daughters. In the short space o tfour mouths, the Seminary has stepped out upon the
arena of action,unfurled her banner for the education of young ladies,and now challenges
comparison, in 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 man 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 leas educate
his chi dren. Tuition and board for girls ought to he reduced accordingly. We hare
made a bold step in that direction. Oar rates are from 25 to 50 per cent, less than tho*.
of any similar College in Georgia. S6B to SB4 will pay for board, tuition, fuel, lights, f*r
our long term, which will end June 26. ’ s ’
