THE EAGLE.
BY REDWIN'E & HAM.
Friday Morning, March 28, 1879.
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.
Gen. Gordon is slowly improv
ing.
England is about to have another
war on her hands. This time Bur
mah is on her mettle.
The venerable Dr. Lovick Pierce,
one of the pioneers of Methodism in
Georgia, was ninety-five years old on
the 24th.
New York is taking the walking
mania worse every day. There are
at least a dozen matches in progress
in that city.
Hon. William Gibson and Hon.
Patrick Walsh, of' Augusta, are hav
ing a powerful peppery correspond
ence. When Honorable meets Hon
orable then comes the tug of pow
wow.
It is remarked anent the row be
tween Judge Gibson and Hon. Pat
Walsh, that Bill Moore lays down
his pencil and shears every few min
utes, claps his hands, and hollers,
“Hit ’em agin Judge !’’

We put Charley Willingham, of
the Cartersyille Free Press, upon no
tice to load up his beer schooner and
prepare for war. We intend to hold
him to account for the way he has
been talking about us of late.
Senator Hill has had another tilt
with his old antagonist, Blaine, but
from the synopsized report of it in
the telegrams we cannot tell who
came off first best. It seems, how
ever, that the Georgia giant made
it lively for radical party for awhile.
Niles, of the Griffin News, indulges
his old propensity by telling a mam
moth story about a pair of shoes
manulactured in that city. This
too, after three weeks of gracious
revival showers in that city. We
fear Niles is given over to reprobacy
of heart.
Two men in Madison county, N.
Cl., wero examining a pig’s tail. One
expressed an opinion about its
length, me other gave it the lie, both
tvhipped out their pistols and fired,
one was killed and the other lost a
thumb. Tho length of the pig’s tail
is still an open question.
Judge Pottle is being subjected to
some very severe criticisms by some
of the papers of his circuit. From
an intimate personal acquaintance
with Judge P. we are convinced that
it is uncalled for, and unjust. We
know that thero does not to-day
wear the judicial ermine of Georgia,
a more honest, conscientious and
incorruptible officer than Judge Pot
tle.
Hon. W. B. Fleming has been ap
pointed by Gov. Colquitt, judge of
the Eastern circuit, in place of Judge
Tompkins, resigned. This appoint
ment is only good till the legislature
meets in July, but that body may
endorse it by electing Judge Flem
ing. This gentleman once before
filled this important position with
great satisfaction to the people and
will again adorn the bench with un
impaired lustre and ability.
The Hartwell Sun uses up a cent
postal card to remark privately to
this office that if the Sun hurts the
eyes of the Eagle, they will cease to
exchange. The Sun is a powerful
bright luminary, indeed one of the
brightest and best country papers in
Georgia, and our friends must not
tear us from their hearts and ex
change list. We could not stand it.
Let your light so shine brothers,
that the Eagle may see to wing its
way to youu bailiwick.
In the case of Commissioner
Smyth against Marshal Fitzsimmons
and District Attorney Farrow, Judge
Woods has decided that all warrants
issued by Commissioners must be
executed by the marshal whether
there is anything in them or not.
This will run the government to
thousands of dollars useless expense
and put aside much important busi
ness that ought to be attended to.
However, we suppose Uncle Sam is
rich and as the tax-payers have stood
it for fourteen years they certainly
needn’t complain now.
The Hartwell Sun very sensibly
says: “It is all very well to talk of
stopping the carrying of concealed
weapons, but it can never be accom
plished until the sale of pistols is
prohibited. It is like the law pro
hibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors to minors—a dead letter.
All attempts to enforce this law will
only cause the boys to conceal them
a little more carefully and effectual
ly.” We have a letter from a promi
nent lower Georgia member of the
general assembly upon this subject,
and which we purpose noticing at
•owe length in our next issue.]
The Gainesville & Dahlonega
Railroad.
Why don’t the Gainesville papers
advocate the railroad ? Don’t they
want it? We want it, and this say
nothing policy won’t defeat it. If a
little railroad to Dahlonega can kill
Gainesville—why let her die the
death of the close-fisted. The enter
prising Southron has always warned
Gainesville against the folly of freez
ing out things that look to progress.
The road can’t hurt Gainesville un
less it goes to Belton or some other
point.
We copy tho above, as well as an
article on our first page, from the
Dahlonega Signal, to the end that we
may use it a3 a text from which to
formulate a few brief remarks upon
the subject therein mentioned.
We think that our contemporary
is a little hasty in his conclusion that
Gainesville does not want the rail
road. He certainly is unjust in his
strictures upon the press of this city
in charging that they have not shown
every inclination to aid the enter
prise. For ourselves, we “deny the
allegation, and defy the alligator.”
We have given it our most cordial
support, and shall continue so to do
whenever we feel that any word of
ours will advance the work.
We do not know from whence the
Signal derives its information that
Gainesville does not want the rail
road. We think we hazard nothing
in saying that it is erroneous. There
are doubtless some people in the city
who are opposed to it; there are al
ways differences of opinion upon any
subject in every community. But we
do not believe such objectors com
pose any considerable part of our
population.
However, if there are any who are
opposed to the building of the road
upon the theory that it will injure
the trade of Gainesville, we wish to
assure them in all earnestness that
they are building their objections on
a sandy foundation. Whatever helps
to develop and build up North Geor
gia, and the section tributary to us,
helps Gainesville. Dahlonega can
never compete with us in prices of
the goods we sell, for the reason that
we will always have the advantage of
her in freights. The natural laws
governing commerce the world over
will always carry the trade and busi
to the point which pays most for what
the people wish to sell, and sells
cheapest that which they want to
buy. Instead of obstructing our
trade, it will widen the territory that
we can reach, and bring U3 trade that
we cannot now get.
Our friends in Dahlonega must re
member, however, that we are a poor
people; that our little city has passed
hrough,in half a dozen years,as many
ordeals, that would crush, dwarf and
cripple much more pretentious cities
than ours. The ashes from the ruins
of some of our strongest and best
business houses are blown in our
eyes by every passing breeze, and the
grim black walls and unhealed scars
are seen on every hand, where the
awful fire fiend has done his work.
We are in the midst of a great strug
gle to recover from these
and are not in condition to aid our
mountain neighbors as liberally as
we would wish. Let its be ever so
well satisfied of the benefits to accrue
from it, we are not able to invest
heavily. Notwithstanding all this,
though, we believe that when tangi
ble, business-like propositions are
presented, our people will not be
found so wanting in sympathy as our
neighbor seems disposed to think.
Let him wait and see.
The Devil As au Advertising
Agent.
The Brooklyn Presbytery are not
pleased, it would seem, with the way
and manner in which the Itev. Dr
Talmage has picked himself up by
the slack of the pantaloons, so to
speak, and hoisted nimself into noto
riety. In consequence, they have de
termined to try him before their au
gust tribunal for falsehood and de
ceit.
In his late series of sensational and
hair-raising sermons, Mr. Talmage
boasted that he was “making the
devil do his advertising,” but it seems
he is not doing all of it, for the
Brooklyn I resbytery propose to take
somo of the contract themselves.
It is mentioned as one of his insin
cerities that, while raising money for
the Brooklyn Tabernacle, he tele
graphed to two gentlemen to know
if he could use their names as sub
sciibing $5,000 each, provided he
would personally hold them harmless.
He wanted their influence; but the
two men very promply telegraphed
him that he could do nothing of the
kind, and suggested that earnestness
and faith without deception would
be better. The Presbytery now say
that this was deception.
Iu this connection it may not be
out of place to slate a fact about the
late sermons: That he got pay from
certain for them there is
hardly any doubt. It is certain that
they were sent in proof three or four
dajs ahead and put ,n type, and the
next day would come out as “special
dispatch to the so and so.” This is
one of the ways in which the devil
did his advertising and paid for the
privilege. Wo shall wait with much
mterest to see whether the brethren
give him a bouncing, or whether this
is simply another advertising dodge.
In the meantime the devil will have
to canvass around among some other
of the muscular Christians for adver
tising contracts.
The Caineion-Oliver Scandal. J
For several days most of the large
Northern papers have been publish
ing long reports of evidence in a case
of scandal, which for sensuality and
disgusting development is scarcely
less notable than the Beecher-Tilton
affair. Old Simon Cameron, a man
who has figured prominently in all
the schemes and highhanded rascali
ties of radicalism for many years, has
been sued by the Widow Oliver for
breach of promise of marriage. The
case is in a court in Washington
city and is showing up a state of so
cial life among radical high flyers,
which justifies all that has ever been
charged against the moral tone and
tendency of everything which radical
ism controls. Much of the evidence con
sists of letters which passed between
the deceived Widow and the artful
Simon. These show great depravity
in both parties and are very indecent
in words and sentiments. The widow
charges that the old man became in
fatuated with her, courted her, and
after he had won her affections se
duced her and then abandoned her
for another woman. She also testi
fies that he admistered drugs to her
to hide her shame and his guilt, and
then paid her money as she needed
it. After a time, however, he left
her to herself and would not fulfill
his promise to make her his wife.
There are many other features of the
case whibh we cannot give in an
editorial, but it is enough to say
that the Widow makes an ugly case
against the old deceiver, and her
story has- much to commend it as the
truth in the matter. It is true her
own character has been shown up in
an unenviable light, but she was at
one time a shining figure in high
radical circles, and her fall may be
attributed to the company she kept.
This trial and its developments are a
blazing commentary on the baseness
and lack of moral refinement which
has characterized the society of
Washington for years, and the coun
try is to be congratulated as well in
a social as in a political point of view
on the ascendency of the democratic
party.
A Singular and Romantic Case
of Sin.
Macon and Atlanta are agitated
just now over an affair that has much
of the romance of sin about it. Some
thirteen or fourteen years ago a fe
male infant was sent from Augusta
to the Appleton Church Home, a
charitable orphan asylum of Macon.
She was tenderly cared for, and as
the years rolled on developed into a
remarkably beautiful and sprightly
child, and is now just entering upon
the confines of a lovely and bewitch
ing womanhood, gome time since a
woman in Atlanta, whose character
is not of the best—indeed, one of the
class whose “steps take hold on hell’’
—proclaimed heraeif the mother of
the child, and demanded that, she be
delivered up to her by the officers of
toe institution above mentioned.
Laming her character, they refused
to give her up. The woman by some
means communicated with the girl,
and finally succeeded iu getting her
away from the home, and taking
her to Atlanta. Some of the Episco
palians there, however, determined
that she should not pass into the
h ands of the woman if it could be
avoided, and tbe case has gotten into
the courts What the result will be
no one can as yet tell.
There seems little doubt that,
should she be successful, the girl will
be lost, and her pure, unstainod wo
manhood, surrounded by that gilded
vice which though shunned by those
P'i mquinted with it is first endured,
then pitied, then embraced, by those
who become too familiar therewith;
will,ere long, become the plaything of
the unbridled passions of the sons of
Adam, and sink to the level of her
who claims to have conceived her in
sin, and brought her forth into the
world, the living evidence of her
shame.
The saddest part of the whole mat
is that the young girl, notwithstand
ing her early religious training, ex
hibits a waywardness that betokens
that she will be only too readv to
plunge into the vice of which she will
so surely become the victim. Alto
gether it is a most sad affair.
Unreasonable Criticism.
We are much pained to notice sev
eral anonymous correspondents and
one or two reputable newspapers,
who in commenting upon the recent
unfortunate homicide in Atlanta, are
disposed to censure Gov. Colquitt
because he did not prevent the trag
ic affur. Among these we notice
Bro. Shivers of the Warrenton Clip
per. We are not only, as we have
said pained, but as'onished that a
man usually so level headed as our
good brother should make any such
mistake as this,
The facts are that at the time of
the shooting, Gov. Colquitt had sent
a cool brave man, Capt. Nelms, to
stop the matter, and thought that
Alston was at a restaurant eating his
dinner where he had left him not
five minutes before he heard the
shots Had Alston been where the
Governor thought he was he might
have been alive to-day.
We hope to see no more of this
sort of injustice done the Governor
and in this connection we may note
that so far, this sort of thing has
come only from Journals which are
avowedly opposed to his re election,
and who are very busy asserting that
he cannot succeed iu advance of any
outgiving on his part that he will be
a candidate,

54,000 churches, 500,000 manufacturers
and sellers of liquor; one-twelfth that
number of preachers and one-fourth the

than twice the number of lawyers, doc

Recent remark by Benator Z. Chandler.

Change tbe Law.
Albany Advertiser.
If the Georgia legislature will restore
the code of honor by removing all pen*
alty from dueling, and substitute for the
present law an act making the practice
of carrying concealed weapons punisha

and such shocking tragedies as the one
enacted in the State Capitol last week
will soon become like angel visits.
Perhaps and at Least.
Chicago Tribune.
Jndging from the allotment of offi
cers to southern ex-confederates by the
new senate, Sam. Tilden, if he was elec
ted president, would make three-quar
ters of his appointments from the south.
Perhaps there is some secret under
standing to that effect. At least, the
south has been more enthusiastic than
any other section of the country for
Tilden.

Mosby is Consul to Hong Kong, and

A Sprightly Journal.
Warrenion Clipper.
The Gainesville Eagle has a neat ad
vertisement in the Clipper this week.
It is useless for us to compliment Ham
in this section and through the paper,
inseparably connected with a most suc
cessful career while he was its proprie

mirers in this territory will greatly
appreciate his improved talent and the
sprightly journal he now conducts; the
advertisement we have already noticed.
Would Rattle inside ot Tobacco Seed.
Union & Recorder.
Hayes’ message to the 46th congress
is just the smallest thing in that line of
business we ever saw. Speaking com
paratively, we think that this message
would rattle,’inside of a tobacco seed
more sonorously than a peck of peas in
a kettle drum. Observe, “the public
welfare will be best promoted by per
manency in our legislation, and by
peace and rest.” Permanency! That
means the perpetuation of the political
party in power that has ruled and ruined
the country, as far as they had the
power.
Going to Raise Ills own Candy*
Mountain Signal.
About two weeks since a man from
Canada, Union county, came to Dah
lonega and purchased some candy. On
biting one of the little lumps he found
in the middle a coriander seed. So he
purchased a fine lot of candies contain
ing the seeds and took them home and
is going to raise his own candy. He
came back last Saturday and told the
clerk what he had done and that he
wanted some more to raise a “late crap.”
The clerk of course gave him great en
couragement. And still the world
moves.
Mr. Hayes' Greatest Achievement.
Newark, N. J., Advertiser.
There is one feather in the cap of
President Hayes which will remain his
to the end of time: he has sent the
shortest message to congress on the
opening of a session ever penned since
the government was founded. It will
be received with admiration iu En
gland, where the queen’s speech has
had the soul of wit—that is brevity, and
it should be taken as a model by all the
coming presidents of the United States.
We are getting into the age of apho
risms. Wisdom and wit travel together,
and the telegram is the teacher of con
densation in thought and speech. Let
the president try again.
Baying at Gordon.
Lump in Independent.
Felton still trails around and bays at
Gen. Gordon. His last insinuation in
tended to injure the senator, is to
charge that he is responsible for the
striking out by the senate of a clause in
the River and Harbor appropriation bill
appropriating SIO,OOO for the improve
ment of the Upper Savannah River. If
you have any facts to establish Gor
don’s lack of fidelity to the democracy,
or to the best interest of Georgia ex
hibit them; and for the sake of truth
and common honesty quit, your coward
ly attempts to stab him in the back.
We charge the Parson nothing for this
piece of advice.

THE GEORGIA BAPTIST SEMINARY.
Hall County, Greorgia-
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, Fiue Arts,
aud the various elementary tranches of theoretical and practical education, suitable for
daughters. In the short space o Tour months, 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 than 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 less educate
his chi’dren. Tuition and board for girls ought to be reduced accordingly. We have
madb 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,
our long term, which will end June 26. - *
