THE EAGLE. BY K£l> W 1 i K HAM. Friday Morning, March 21, 1878. 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 us. We urge upon all to be prepared to pay us the amouuts due as we are com pelled to oollect past due accounts and dose up the old books. We are determined to make the Eagle the sprightliest and newsiest weekly in Georgia, bat we mast have the sin ews of war—the money to a<d us. It is no time for shilly shallying around now. Georgia must close up, and present her solid integral part of the Solid South. John Christian is frisking around Atlanta very numerously of late, which leads us to believe that another new paper will soon be hung out to dry. Col. Davis of the Sandersville Cour ier,mixos bis first and third persons, and his royal "we” and personal “I” in a manner at once picturesque and exhirilating. When Grant gets back from his Eastern tour we presume San Fran cisco is to be Chicagoed as ex-con gressman Page says the blaze of the bonfires will be seen in Omaha. Eugene Speer passed through At lanta last week, on his way to Cali fornia, and we are listening for the ramble of a printing press to oome thundering down to us from the Pa cific slope. If an independent candidate for Governor shall attempt to make the race in Georgia next time, bo will be about the worst beaten man that ever did run, save and except perhaps old uncle Jonathan Norcrose. Our friend of the Burlington Hawkey does us proud, but makes a mistake when he says that Mr. Jones is still in the connection. He browses in other pastures now and would hardly care to have any of our sins visited on his head. As we were never in St. Louis, the statement of the Blue Ridge thumb paper that wo once published a paper there, is just as far off the parallel line of perspicuous fact os. bis state ment that the New York World is a red-hot radical sheet. Our immediate Representative, Hon. Emory Speer participated in the Democratic Oauoas, and voted for Randall like a little man. A good and U His cua^Se shall be all it ought to one shall give him duo oredit for it. Bridges Smith has put up and fat tened a Faber No. 2, and is now giv ing us the gravy of it in the Macon Sunday Ledger. Sunday papers are becoming quite a feature in Georgia Journalism, the Gazette the Phono graph and the Ledger all being splen did sheets. The Conyers Examiner is authority for the statement that the Cony ers Brass Band is re-organizing for the purpose of attending the Proas Con vention. If wo may be allowed a voice in the matter wo hope they will be invited to stay at home. They were an unmitigated nuis ance at the last meeting. The marriage of the Duke of Conf naught and the Prinoess Louise, o Prussia was oelebrated in England last Friday with great eclat. The , list of bridal presents, as published, were very magnificent, and two wore regal souls have been made happy- The illustrated papers of this week will probably have portraits of the newly married pair. Gen. Gordon has been quite sick for sometime in Washington, and two or three days since a telegram was published that he was in a daugerous condition, which created much con cern all over the State on his account. Later news, however, states that he is better and will probably soon re cover. He has been suffering from •n attack of acute rheumatism which afflicted his stomach and kidneys. There seems to be an idea among some people that the independents of the seventh and ninth congress ional districts constitute the people of Georgia. We grant that they are a part of them, many of them good people too, but the sooner they disa buse their minds of the idea that they can control the politics of the whole State, the better it will be for them. A congressional election is one thing, a State election is quite another. Congress met in extra session ou Tuesday, and organized promptly, the democrats having a clear majori ty and carrying everything their own way. The race for the speakership between Mr. Randall and Mr. Black burn which had been so exciting was aettled the night before in caucus, by the nomination of Mr. Randall. Thin gentleman was elected on Tues vday an the first ballot, having a ma jority of the congress in his favor. This is as it should be, for while Mr, Blackburn is a good man and a South * \ yro believe the interset of our 'rijl be beet subserved by Mr. A Plea for the IwvioSabilitjr of Private Character. We call upon the moral aentiment of the people of this country to cry a halt. It is this that must reform all wrongs upon our social, political and moral institutions. There is none that is becoming more prevalent, none that is more dangerous, none that is subversive so much of all the better lessons of our lives, than the tendency to traduce private charac ter for personal, partisan and politi cal purposes. Ambition is a great curse. By it have fallen some of the greatest men of all ages and countries. It is a syren, luring on him who listens and is seduced by its wiles, to extrava gant extremities that, but for it, wonld never be even contemplated without a shudder. Let a man ones •tart and form the purpose of scaling its dizzy heights, and nothing is too sacred to be prostituted to his pur pose. But there is a point at whioh the moral sentiment of the country should place the flaming sword of its pro nounced disapprobation, and say, "thus far shall thou go, and no far ther." That point is the private character of the citizen; and when ever any ambitious man, no matter how worthy and how laudable his ambition may be, shall essay to olimb to his coveted niohe in the temple of fame by using the boulders of some crushed and shattered private char acter as stepping stones, then should the majesty of the power of press and publio be brought to bear to teach him that there is that of more value than all the good gifts of eerth. Perish that ambition that wonld build up its structure upon the ruins of another's honor. In Georgia politics just now we have a state of affairs which demands that our people sot the seal of con demnation upon the tendenoy of the times to personalities in the discus sion of public questions. Only a few months since we had a United States senator engaged in the delectable business of endeavoring, by innuendo as well as openly, to smirch the fair fame of the governor of our State —a man who has devoted a life to the building up of a oharactor for hones ty, integrity and high moral purpose. Now, even, wo have a representative in congress and another United States senator engaged likewise in bitter personal denunciation oaoh of the other. Wo are not just now dis cussing the merits of these contro versies, what the provocation may have been ou either sido; but merely mention them as illustrating the prevalence of this great evil. No porsoual d'flioulty, nor any ovox a great principle. A duel may result in the deatu of one of two men who differ, but it never sottiod who was right. Personal vituperation and abuse oan uever prove the wrong or the right of political differences,and it is this feature of our Georgia politics against which we inveigh. It is this that we would have the great body of our people condemn, and let that condemnation be in such unmistaka ble terms that one may know that,*6von though his cause may be a just one, they will not endorse him or it, should he descend into tho filthy cess-pool of billingsgate and vituper ation, and endeavor to prove his own the betterjoanse by abuse of those who differ with him. The killiuK of Col. Alston. On our lirst page to day we pres ent a condensed statement of the ter ribly tragic affair occurring in Atlan ta a week ago last Tuesday, whioh re sulted in the death of Col. ltobt. A. Alston, and to which we briefly allu ded last week. It is rarely that wo allow ourselues to speak iu advance, or express opin ions through the publio press of events whioh must undergo judicial investigation, but iu this ease wo can not refrain from saying that so j far as the testimony has gone, and the facts have come out, aud wo were on the ground in a few miuutes after the fatal affair, it does seem to us to have been one of the most uncalled for and wanton exhibitions of all the worst passions of human nature. We loved Bob Alston, he was our friend, but we would not have any word of ours to prejudice the tights of the unhappy creature who imbrued with tears for him who has gone out from us forever, let him who has done the fatal deed bo the viotim of uo unseemly prejudice. Should jus tice demaud his life iu return for taking that of another, may God have mercy on his soul. We loved Bob Alston, as did every one who knew him. May the angels welcome his noble spii.t to the laud where passion and sin is never known, and may tho God of mani fold mercies eomfort those he has left behind and his death be another link iu the chain that binds them to faith in Got’ aud draws them to the skies. We have it on the very best autho rity that John Waterman will not at tend the prose convention. Hence these tears. Col's Clarke, Farrow, Fitzsimmons and Smythe, are having quite a little row. It would hardly interest our readers to go into details. Marcellos Thornton threatens to attempt the feat of getting out a pa per a day for thirty days in Meeon. A Wsrd about Newspapers. There is not perhaps in the whole range of business professions or call ings, one that is so little understood, and about which there are as many erroneous ideas as that of the con duct, privileges, purposes and rights of a newspaper. From it peoplo ex pect more, and propoee to pay less for it, than they would dare to aßk from any other business in the world. A great many very good people seem to forget that newspapers are business enterprises. They ignore the fact that a newspaper man is flesh and blood, that he must eat, drink, wear, live, move, and have a being as any other human biped. They aeem to forget that he has like passions, like necessities, like cares, troubles and anxieties with other men. Hsn-e when he differs with them, when he expresses an opinion in opposition to their own with warmth and vigor, they are ready to denounoe him, aud seem as much astonished as if an angel had flown down from the out-posts of heaven and pelted them with a brick bat. He is expected to be above and beyond the small weaknesses of humanity, and soar around in the ely: ian fields of grandiloquent genius or leisurely browse in the vernal pastures of pure wisdom, and see everything as everybody else sees it, and reconcile the vast differ ences of opinion in imperious thous ands. But it is not iu this alone that tho world mistakes us. Very many, very good people, good honest souls who would never think of asking their grocer to give them a dimes worth ol cheese, will ask a newspaper man to sacrifice his space, pay his printers to sst up his type, and wear out his material to do them a service, uul expect him to acquiesco as a matter of course. It is astonishing how many people have axes to grind whioh from their stand-point are “matters of publio interest,’’ and woe to the poor editor who cannot see it in that light. There are two or three things whioh many good, bonesf people need to be educated to un derstand. One is that editors are human. They are liable to be mis taken, and are entitled to the same charity as other peoplo who may do likewise. Second, that they oiwot live on wind and sleep on fences, and must be paid for their stock in trade, the same as a merchant or any other business man. Third, that a news paper does not belong to tho world at large, but to its owners and con ductors, and that it cannot he made a sluice-box through which to tl >w all lb# surplus bile of a community or the trashy off-sloughings of the brain of every nincompoop who itches to see his name in print. When these wholesome truths are thoroughly imbedded in the teach ings of our civilization, then will the editor's milleuiuin begin to draw nigb, and tho war dance of de ight will swing corners and che at z around the editorial tripod, the scissors will cut the double shuffle, aud the paste pot weep great tears of unctions pi- ___ Are We a Lawless People ! Whenever a Northern journal, com menting upon the South, her people and her customs, sees lit to allude io us as a people careless of life, and prone to deeds of violence and blood shed, wo raise our hands in holy horror, and prate glibly about mis representation and vindication of Soutborn chivalry, honor nud tra ditions. It is a settled fact that, while iu some things distance lends enchant ment to the view, there are oil;o:s which, by their proximity to us and our familiarity witti them, lose the horror with whioh we contemplate them at a gieater distance. Let us ahk ourselves the question whethir there are uot grounds for thechurges often made against us. Are wo uot guilty of seekiug motes in other eyes regardless of the beam in onr own ? It is only iu the last few days that a thrill of horror ran through onr commonwealth at tho foul and atu cious murder of one of our most prominent oitizeue. Even since that time a party of masked men took possession of a train and searched it for a person they supposed to be on board, with the evident purpose to lynch her if fouud. Only a few weeks since one man walked up to another in broad daylight, under the very eyes of the police of a city of thirty thousand inhabitants, and shot him dead. Iu oue of the lower counties of the State a bund of mask ed men forcibly break open a jail and liberate men charged with high crimes and misdemeauors. In tin same section a prominent citizen is waylaid aud shot down iu the road; and only a few months since two prominent lawyers were permitted to oome into Georgia from a sister State, aud one falls to rise no more, with a deadly bullet iu his brain. Such are a few’ of the crimes occur ring iu the last year. In them there is food for much reflection. If we would not be charged with these things, we must forever crush them out of our history and our civiliza tion. Human life is the most divine gift of a gracious God. So long as we hold it lightly, so long as crime is not made odious, ee long as punish ment is not sure and swift, just so long will crime exist; and so long as it exists we must not become offend ed at being told of it. We do not propose to theorize as to remedies Let our law-makers do that, and let the strong arm of justice mete out prescribed penalties. GEORGIA NEWS. What the l.ot-al Editor* nee and hear.

All in all we think it has the necessary pabulum, and, with plenty of the wine, (look out for it when it is red,) it should be, as it is, a screaming Eagle. To use its own words it is “still beating.’’ Long may it soar; but don't pounce down upon the Hawk eve. Don't cry Sonny. Blue Ridge Eclio. “Good Old Ham, Sweet,’’ the asso ciate eiitor of the Gainesville Eagle, throws a petty fling in onr face, in last issue (March 7,) of that paper, thinking, no doubt, that we would not resent it. We have never done him a particular injury, but, then, we know what his intentions were in doing so. It has al ways been a question of doubt in our mind, whether or not, .a man has any moral stamina about him that will stoop to such petty things.
