THE E agle.
BY REP W I N E & HA M.
- 1 ri jay Morning, March 1471879.
To Our Patrons.
A representative of the Eagle will
attend the Superior courts in all the
upper counties and will receive and
receipt for all money due ns. We
urge upon all to be prepared to pay
us the amounts due as we are com
pelled to collect past due accounts
and close up the old books. We are
determined to make the Eagle the
sprightliest and newsiest weekly in
Georgia, but we must have the sin
ews of war—the money to aid us.
“My Wife” is a “biger” man than
“my husband” by long odds.
Dr. Felton says the organized
press have lied about him. Now see
here Uoctor “just come outside” and
call us that.
It is said that Judge W. B Flem
ming, late representative from the
first district, will be appointed Judge
of the Savannah circuit.
If a man can carry around the rep
tiles whose photographs we see in a
vermifuge advertisement, and live,
there is no use worrying about snakes
in his boots.
Somehow or somehow else Billie
Hanleiter does not unanim on our
interrogatory as to the dignity and
propriety of “My Wife’s” abuse of
General Gordon.
Pity with its crystal drops is
sweetening many a cup of life. And,
in return, many a grateful heart is
laying on the palm of pity the choicest
gems of gratitude.
Charley Willingham is getting aw
ful ugly politically. And Charley
used to be such a good democrat. A
good solid old organized thunder
bolt, but now—ah well, pardon these
tears.
We would just like for Bob Bur
ton, of the Soulli Georgian, to “hang
up the fiddle and the bow,” and lay
down the tambourine and the bones
long enough to drop us a few encour
aging linos.
Dr. Felton ought by all manner of
moans to let tho head of the family
do the fighting. The Doctor may be
heap big medicine man, but he puts
his foot in it whenever ho bathes his
hands in ink.
On with the dance. Bryant is out
now in a letter in which lie says that
Mrs. Felton’s charge that he was try
ing to organizo tho republicans in the
interest of Judge Lester is without
foundation in fact. Verily the fun
grows fast and furious.
Aunt Sullivan, of tho Crawfortlville
Democrat, is sitting on the front steps
of Liberty Hall waiting for Little
Alex, to come home and tell him
what to do about this independent
business. He says the thing is get
ting too depthy for him.
Tho Atlanta Phonograph still fails
us with its accustomed and provok
ing regularity. Christopher is so
busy going down to but we
promised to say no more about it
until well, hang it, what are
we talking about, anyhow ?
Col. R. A. Alston, well known in
Georgia, was shot and killed in the
office of the State Treasurer at At
lanta last Tuesday afternoon by a
Capt. Cox. The trouble grew out of
a business transaction. Our limited
space compels us to defer details un
til our next issue.
Mrs. Felton; Oh, Mrs. Felton !
Madame! ! would you mind drop
ping your caustic pen long enough
to go down in your morocco hand
bag and get us out those letters to
“Senator Ferry and other prominent
republicans ?” Wo want to see what
sort of literature they are.
Before our next issue the extra
session of congress will have assem
bled and the agony of its organiza
tion will be over. It is the first
democratic congress that has assem
bled since the fourth day of March
1859. The democrats have a clear
working majority in both houses.
Among the editors in Georgia
there is Willingham, Cunningham,
Gorham, and last, but not least,
Ham. How is that for mental
Grubb ?—Griffin Sun , Pretty fair
but wo have two Gorman(d)s who
can eat anything in the shape of grub
from a broiled saddle-skirt to a bar
becued mule.
We did not intend to make Billie
Bullie Hanleiter splore his splava
gance over an entire column of his
luminary on the Felton question.
Indeed we think the game hardly
worth the candle. However we can
not argue with a man who does not
know enough about tho question to
know who it was that commenced
the riot. Who the deuce is "Reid,’’
Bullie Billie ?
The “baby bonds’’ are being issued
by treasurer Renfroe, und they go
like hot cakes, such is the demand
for them. Tho $5 bond is very pretty,
being an excellent paper and printed
in attractive style. It is about the
size of a greenback bill, being a half
inch longer. The Governor and
treasurer are kept busy signing these
bonds, but the former only can dis
pose of about one thousand a day.
That Sunday Session.
The Sunday before congress ad
journed that body continued in sea
sion all day, in order, as was alleged,
to push through the business which
had accumulated, and which the close
of the session was about to find un
attended to. As far as the results
show, however, the Sunday session
was a failure, for several of the most
important appropriation bills were
not passed, and an extra session be
came necessary anyhow.
But it is the moral aspect of this
Sunday session that we desire to no.
tice, and to express our unqualified
disapproval of it. We wonder that
more has not been said in censure of
it by the press. Men in high posi
tion are representatives of the people
in more senses than one. They are
expected to give to the world an idea
of the morals and character of their
constituents as embodied in their own
persons, as well as make laws and
administer the government. And the
influence public men exert upon the
youth of the land is far greater than
they know, in molding their charac
ters and giving direction to their
opinions in all departments of life.
It should require the most Urgent
necessity to justify a session of con
gress on Sunday. We can see how
in time of war some emergency might
make a Sunday session allowable, but
these seldom occur. Certainly no
such necessity existed on this occa
sion. Not only were there no ex
treme circumstances to call for this
Sunday session, but congress was
guilty of a double wrong in hold
ing it and in creating a seeming ne
cessity for it, by wasting time in the
earlier part of the session in talk,
which should have been devoted to
work. If the body had not thus
spent important time, the large quan
tity of unfinished business would not
have accumulated. Neither can con
gress make the people believe it had
been very diligent, and a Sunday
session was its only chance to get
through, and thus excuse itself from
the sin of dishonoring God and re
ligion.
We do not believe the people of
this country approve this Sunday
session. Ours is a Christian land,
and is governed by the laws of the
Biblo in matters of religion, whatever
may be tho constitutional provisions
about freedomof thought and religious
faith. We believe a vast majority of
the people regard Sunday as sacred,
and will frown upon this profanation
of the day to ordinary uses. In his
individual capacity the people at
large have nothing to do with how a
congressman spends his Sabbaths;
but as an official and representative
he is accountable, and should not
misrepresent his constituents.
It is to be hoped such a thing as a
Sunday congress will never be seen
again in this country. It was when
the Jews had forgotten the require
ments of the Mosaic law, and had
ceased to regard the Sabbath with
that reverence which God had en
joined, that He permitted them to be
taken into a captivity which lasted
four hundred years, and their mag
nificent capital was destroyed. “Re
member the Sabbath day to keep it
holy.”
Senator Gordon’s Letter.
We did not print the recent letters
of Mrs. Felton or her husband, at
tacking the private character of Gen.
Gordon, and hence do not deem it
necessary to give our readers the en
tire text of his reply. Ever since the
late congressional campaign, into
which, in the seventh district, Gen.
Gordon felt it his duty to throw the
weight of his influence and services,
the independent press have been very
busy seeking to injure him. His al
most unanimous re-election to the
senate, without any effort on his part
proved how futile their efforts had
been.
Since that time,however,the tongue
of slander has been busy with his
name. In our issue of week before
last we briefly summarized the events
which hap been made the excuse for
these more recent, more violent and
more personal attacks. Dr. Felton,
in whose bosom rankled the venom
which is the outgush of small souls,
shielding himself behind the skirts of
his wife, whose devotion shrunk not
even from being placed in that false
and unladylike position, assailed Gen
Gordon’s personal character.
In his recent letter, ignoring the
lady entirely, as only the mere blind
of the motive power of the slander,
Gen. Gordon takes up and demolishes
one by one, the miserable slanders
which openly and by innuendo have
been circulated against him. His
letter is a Damascus blade—sharp,
polished and incisive. It is unan
swerable. It is that truth which has
suffered wrong and misrepresentation
only to rise triumphant in its own
vindication.
Wo are glad Gen. Gordon has
written the letter; not for his own
vindication, for that was not needed,
but for the vindication of the grand
old party which had honored .him,
against the sneers of its enemies at a
distance, who were making out of it
capital to work her detriment. It is
worthy of the man wo have honored
and will wipe out the slime of the
miserable worm who is so weak and
contemptible, as to try to shield him
self from the consequences of that
which he does by making it the act of
his wife. Shame on such a man.
‘‘One by one tlie Roses fall.”
Appropos of Gen. Gordon’s recent
letter, and the slanders which gave
rise to it comes a little billet doux
from J. E. Bryant, which was not
entirely inappropriate at this junc
ture of affairs.
It will be remembered that the
basis of the recent attacks upon Sen
ator Gordon by the Independents,
was the statement of Mr. A. W. Reese
that Mrs. Felton had written a letter
to Senator Ferry, a republican, beg
ging aid for her husband in his can
vass against the democratic nominee.
Mrs. Felton argued that these state
ments were actuated by Gen. Gor
don, and in replying to that charge,
whose truth she admitted, she ju3ti
fled her cause by saying that J. E
Bryant was paid to organize the re
publican vote in Judge Lesters inter
est by the democratic committee
Bryant’s hide is pretty thick, but
there are some things even he can
not stand, and he is out in a card to
the New York Times, in which he
pronounces the statement unquali
fiedly false.
Thus was the excuse for writing
the letter to Senator Ferry, and
“other prominent republicans,” as
Parson Felton says, taken away,
and in its nakedness the fact stands
forth just what the public has all
along known, that so determined
was Dr. and Mrs. Felton’s purpose
to carry the election at all hazards,
that they did not scruple to seek the
aid of the enemies of the very prin
ciples which they claimed to hold.
Out upon such double dealing. A
fig for such democracy.
One by one the roses fall. Leaves
have their timo to fade, and subter
fuges have their time to be swept
away, and in the coming days, now
not far distant, independentism will
be stripped of every claim to princi
ple, and stand forth what it really is,
an unholy scramble for office, place
and powtr, in the achievement of
which nothing is too sacred to be
sacrificed.
Presidential Preferences.
The New York Herald of last Sat
urday contained brief interviews with
most of the democratic members of
congress in reference to their prefer
ences for a presidential nominee next
year. The Georgia nine are included
among the rest, and we give a brief
synopsis of what they said:
Mr. W. B. Fleming, first district,
prefers senator Bayard first,and Gen.
Hancock next; Tilden should not be
nominated, but the people of Gear
gia would vote for him if ho were.
Mr. W. E. Smith, second district
prefers the re-nomination of Tild n
and thinks his district concurs with
him, though the people of Georgia
generally prefer senator Thurman.
Gen. Phil Cook, third district, pre
fers Thurman or Bayard; if Tilden
were nominated he would support
him.
Mr. 11. R. Harris, fourth district,
does cot say who he prefers, but
thinks the people of Georgia do not
desire Mr. Tilden’s nomination
Mr. M. A. Candler, fifth district,
prefers senator B yard, as do many
of his constituents, but the Slate is
for Thurman; thinks Til den will be
a strong candidate before the con
vention.
Mr. J. H. Blount, sixth district,
thought his constituents preferred
Thurman first and Bayard next,
though the State would give unswerv
ing support to Tilden, if nominated.
Dr, W. H. Felton, seventh district,
is for Mr. Thurman first and Mr.
Hendricks next; thinks Tilden nut in
demand in Georgia.
Mr. A. 11. Stephens, eighth district,
had no opinion to express; had no
idea who the nominee would be., as
it. was involved in uncertainty;
thought Mr. Tilden should not be re
nominated.
Mr. H. P. Bell, ninth district,
thought the preference of the people
of Georgia was first for Thurman
and next for Hendricks; if the success
of the party demanded the renomi
nation of Mr. Tilden, the people
would heartily support him.
Of the 128 congressmen interview
ed by the Herald , Thurman is lk9
first choice of 50 and to 11 is accept
able; Hendricks is the first choice of
12 and to 28 is acceptable; Baycrd i
the first choice of 10, and to 19 i-. ac
ceptable; Tilden is the first choice of
13 and to 6 is acceptable, and against
him are 57. Forty-two declared that
they had no especial choice, and
nearly the whole number are of opin
ion that Grant will be the republican
nominee.
Felton sliows liimself.
The letter of Gen. Gordon has had
the effect of bringing Dr. Felton out
of his place of concealment, behind
his wife’s petticoats, and he has writ
ten a letter to the Chronicle <C- Con
stitutionalist, in reply to the Senator’s.
This letter has not yet been publish
ed, but we were permitted to see the
the proof-sheets, which were sent to
this city. A hurried reading failed
to reveal to us any new points in tho
controversy, but on the other hand,
it is a mere reiteration of the charges
made by his wife with some abusive
expressions about Geu Gordon which
will only tend to weaken the Dr’s,
effus’ou with the people of Georgia.
Tho Rev. medicine man is in an
abusive mood, and he shows his
spleen too plainly to make his letter
effective. We are not sure, but he
would have done well to have contin
ued behind his calico bulwarks.

Hawkinsville had a narrow escaper
from fire recently. Two young men
working in a room which contained lint
cotton accidentally ignited a match and

sum of $192.50.
Be it known that Judge Underwood,
of the Rome circuit, wears a swallow

guilty at Walker court of larceny from

The negro woman, Julia Johnson,
who, it will be remembered, was charged
with killing an old lady, Mrs. Farmer,
in Clayton county last fall, was tried for
murder last week. The Constitution says
that public opinion was dead against

ble to find a man who doubted her guilt
or dared say so if he did. Mr. R. S.
Jeffries, a young lawyer of Atlanta, un
dertook her defense, while three or four
able lawyers appeared for the State.
The proof of her guilt was very stron g
and satisfactory to the public mind, but
by an earnest effort and an eloquent
appeal for justice, Mr. Jeffries
succeeded in obtaining a verdict of ac
quittal for his client.

There seems to be little doubt that

enthusiasm.
3\ot Necessary*
Union and Recorder.
Gen. John B. Gordon has written to
the Chronicle & Constitutionalist, a manly
letter in reply to the charges of Mrs.
Dr. Felton. It was not necessary, on
the part of the senator, as no honorable
man believes that Gen. Gordon would
do a dishonorable act.
A Debatable Question.
Atlanta Constitution.
It is easy enough to be a democrat in
Georgia, but can a man be a democrat,
even in Georgia, and depend upon re
publican leaders in Washington to aid
him in defeating the democracy ? This
is a very interesting question for newly
organized debating societies.
Tbc Inevitable Consequence.
Richmond Dispatch.
In order, therefore, to a fair and un
trammelled expression of the will of tho
people in 1880, the law authorizing the
use of such marshals must bo repealed.
If it is not repealed,[the democrats may
as well make up their minds before
hand that they are to be defrauded out
of both congress and the presidency.
Where tbeir Prominence Comes Out.
Atlanta Constitution.
Some of the stalwarts profess that
.they can see the confederate flag mov
ing. There must be some mistake
about this. When the confederate flag
did wave nonejof the stalwarts were in
sight, and it is not likely they would
creep up in peeping distance, even
though the frayed banner represents a
lost cause. If there is anything that
gives a stalwart prominence it is his ex
cessive caution in war and his reckless
gallantry in peace.
Fidelity ami First Cove,
Washington Post.
Because southern democrats will not
admit that they were criminals when
they went into and carried on the war
af the rebellion, the radicals insist that
they are “traitors.” Because they will
not curse the “lost cause,” and spit on
the grave of the confederacy, the radi
cals insist that they cannot be loyal to
the old flag and true in their alliance to
the federal government. It would be
just as reasonable for a second wife to
demand that her husband should prove
his fidelity to her by dancing on the
grave of his dead love.
Tlie Reason Why.
Monroe Advertiser.
A short time since Mrs. Felton wrote
a letter containing bitter denunciations
of and disgraceful insinuations about
General Gordon. The senator, over
looking Mrs. Felton, as he can have no
quarrel with a lady, replies to Mr. Fel
ton. He says Mr. Felton has pursued
him and traduced him to an extent that
he did believe possible. General Gor
don’s defense against these mean and
contemptible charges is manly, straight
forward and cannot fail to be entirely
satisfactory to all save those of the so
called independent party who are blind
to any reason when Gordon’s fame is
involved. They vilely traduce him for
the one reason that he discharged a pa
triotic duty in goiug into the seventh
district to aid the organized democracy
against a combination of independents
and republicans.

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 for the several departments of Science, Literature, Music, Fine Arts,
and the various elementary branches of theoretical and practical education, suitable for
daughters. Ia the short space o !four months, the Seminary has stopped out upon the
arena of action,unfurled her banner for the education of young ladies,aud now challenges
comparison, in order and efficiency, with similar institutions in the South, however pre
tentious or venerable with ago. The prices of provisions— corn, moat, lard, fl ur—are
lower than ever since the war. Our people have become poorer and poorer, o Wages
have gone so low that the daily laborer can scarcely support bis family, much less educ. te
his children. Tuition and board for girls ought to be reduced accordingly. We h?ve
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.
