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. GEORGIA NEWS. What tlie Local Editors see and bear. Miss Fanny Andrews (Elzey Hay) has anew novel in press. Jimmie King, 21 years old, died in Hawkinsville on the 28th ult. Johnnie Barron, of Newnan, accident, ally shot himself in the leg last week. The wicked urchin with the villain ous back action sling is abroad in Da rien. Miss Sue \. Godwin, an estimable young lady of LaGrange, died last week. Sunday evening last, in Cobb county, Miss Augusta Y. Howell was married to Mr. Morris T. Goodman. The Atlanta Daily Post is rising. It is now printed on pink-tinted paper, which is rather high-toned. A man is visiting Hawkinsville with one of Edison’s phonographs and Woods is as happy as he can be. Mr. Dick Alley, a long resident of Aloany, died, after a brief illness, on Saturday morning last, of paralysis. The editor of the Conyers Weekly has joined a good templar’s club and the whiskey market is visibly weakening. Rheumatism and new gold mines are breaking out in Oglethorpe county. The measles are giving way to other in dustrial pursuits. Charley Hansel lof the Thomasville Enterprise is so busy watching the blackberry blooms that he has little time to devote to the local department of his paper. Willie Ellison, of Atlanta, bought a twenty cents pistol from a darkey and while fumbling with it in his pocket it suddenly went off, shooting Willie in the thigh, though not dangerously. When a man is deeply, madly, irre vocably in love, even the air seems filled with lumps of sugar, while the shingles on the house that contains his dulcinea look like sheets of molasses taffy. A wagon loaded with flour, meat* etc,, fell through a bridge over a creek in Troupe county, last week. The dri ver and mules escaped iuj tiry. There will be a suit for damages against the county. The Brunswick Advertiser says a young man of that town got a letter* from his girl and insists on carrying it in his right hand breeches pocket near est his heart. His heart must be in a queer place. There is a crow roost close to Dalton where one or two hundred thousand crows congregate at night. A party who attacked them with guns killed several hundred. They do immense damage to wheat. W. H. Huntley, formerly of La- Grange, now of London, in a note to tho LaGrange Reporter indignantly de nies the report that he was to back Carver against Bogardus for SIO,OOO or any other amount. A farmer has invented a rubber hand which he hangs on his front gate for the convenience of candidates to shake. His wife, having no children, lias made a largo rag doll and seta it on the oppo site post for them to kiss. Kerosene retails at fifteen cents a gallon in Palmetto now. The under takers should put the funeral expenses of active servant girls down to rock-bot tom rates as the business is much en couraged by the reduction. The enterprising proprietors of the Sunday Ledger, Macon, publish in each number of their paper photographs of both members of the firm, handsome ly done up in a letter S, the initial of their names. It is as good as a chro mo. Walker county has offered a reward of $250 for the arrest of Brad Redden, who murdered (Sheriff Mize of that county, which, added to the reward offered by the governor, makes $550. The murderer is said to be lurking in the woods near Alpine. Americas is to have anew paper by Mr. M. Caloway. Brothei Hancock is very much worried about it, but the only thing to do, brother, is grin and bear it. It is said that Mumford and John Christian will both have a hand in it, and with Mumford’s latitude and Christian’s longitude it ought to weed a wide row. Hawkinsville had a narrow escaper from fire recently. Two young men working in a room which contained lint cotton accidentally ignited a match and the cotton caught fire so quickly and the flames spreaded so rapidly that they could not extinguish it. The alarm was raised and everybody turned out and by some very hard work the town was saved, though the building was nearly ruined. The LaGrange Reporter says: Mr. Milledge Id. Hart, of Long Cane, planted last y ear an acre of cane. His family ate all they wanted; he sold fifty dollars worth of cane, 150 gallons of syrup, at fifty-five cents a gallon, and now lias about sixty dollars’ worth of cane left, which he will either sell or plant. This foots up the snug little sum of $192.50. Be it known that Judge Underwood, of the Rome circuit, wears a swallow tail coat. Last week a negro was found guilty at Walker court of larceny from the house in the night time, and the Judge “sent him up” for twenty years. An old darkey, when lie heard the sen tence, remarked to a colored bystander tliusly: “I tell you what, wheneber ole sissor’s tail gits ater dem dey don’t stand no chance at all.”— North Georgia Citizen. 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 the negress and it was almost impossi 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. CURRENT OPINIONS. Which is Which? LaGrange Reporter. “My husband and myself.” Which is the congressman and which is the woman ? Must Go. Detroit Free Press. Dennis Kearney gives this country just six months to go ruin. This coun try must go. Perhaps He Might. Oil Oity Derrick. Perhaps Air. Edison might invent a new kind of Chinaman who wouldn’t be objectionable. How Are You ? Washington Post. All of the sick democrats are pretty well, thank you. How is it with you of the miserable minority. No Hoorn for Three. New York Tribune. There will be no chance for third party fooling in 1880. The contest will be too bitterly earnest for that. The only Ueason for Failure. Cincinnati Enquirer. The democrats can only fail to or ganize the house of Representatives by being obstinately un-democratic. Kellogg’s Future. New York Sun. Mr. William Pitt Kellogg should be -turned out of Judge Spofford’s seat the first thing after the new senate is organ ized. Funds for the Campaign. New York Express. Mr. Tilden has $1,250,000 in the Ele vated Railroad. With a2O per cent, dividend he will have $250,000 in his barrel next year. , ® , More Uian Enough. Augusta Chronicle & Constitutionalist. Randall’s friends say he is sure of 100 votes in the democratic caucus for the selection of a candidate for Speaker. If he gets 75 he will probably have enough. Cincinnati in the Way. Detroit Free Press. With a strong south wind blowing we ought to be able to smell the Georgia peach blossoms these days. We proba bly would, too, if Cincinnati would step a little to one side. A Sight to Inspire the Nations. Baltimore Gazette. There is no spectacle so grand and so classic as a stay-at-home republican poli. tican, fourteen years after the war, kicking and pounding tho venerable Jefferson Davi -, and daring somebody to defend him. They Should Give the Country a Chance. Washington Post. Westward the superfluous carpet-bag gers take their way. Patterson goes to Arizona and Spencer to Dakota. Hav ing grown up with the country once it is to be hoped that they will this time allow the country to grow up to them. No Enthusiasm. Louisville Post. There seems to be little doubt that the democratic ticket in 1880 will be the same as in 1876. From all parts of the country come expressions of opin. ion which indicate a satisfaction with the prospect, but no great amount of 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.

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.
