A representative of the Eagle will
attend the Superior courts in all the
upper counties and will receive and
receipt for all money due as. 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 a>d us.
Gen Gordon had recovered suffi

to take his seat on the first.

Old Sime Cameron has just escaped

We understand Alexander, of the
Griffin News, has entered the list.
He killed twenty-eight rabbits in one
day, and then eat the whole lot, 140
pounds in 140 quarter-hours.
Reese, of the Macon Telegraph, is
proving himself a very hot and busy

Gen. Fitz John Portor has been
entirely acquitted of all the charges
which have been hanging over him so
long, and if there is any blame, it
attaches to Gen. Pope, the man who
made the charges.
Col. Davis, of the Sandersville
Courier, intimates that all the edi

convention. The Colonel should not
measure other people’s possibilities
by his own intentions.
Hon. A. H. Stephens made a
speech of thirty minutes in the House
last Saturday, the first for a long
time. He is said to have spoken in
a clear ringing tone, and attracted
marked attention. The great com
moner is not dead yet by a good
deal.
The Indiana democrats have been
playing a “revolutionary” trick on
the radicals. They have overthrown
the old congressional districts as ar
ranged under the jerrymandering of
Morton and his crew, and made a
new apportionment that will give
most of the congressmen to the dom
inant party.
Col. Lawshe, of the Southron, is
one of these two story Christians
who go into spasms at gnats and
swallow camels. His latest griev
ance is that we gave the National Po
lice Gazette a complimentary notice.
Be calm Colonel. The world is sin
ful and we cannot help it. The Ga
zette only gives us the details of it,
and does it well.
It does appear that the whole
country is bent on revolution. Even
Chicago and St. Louis have given the
stalwarts the slip, and in Tuesday’s
election tapped over to the Democ
racy. Carter Harrison was elected
mayor in the former city, and we may
now expect a terrible stench to arise
from that region when he begins to
drain the cess-pools of corruption
which the radicals have been wallow
ing in.
The democratic congress does not
propose to shield any one from pun
ishment for any of the crimes de
nounced in the statute book. That
is not the issue. "What congress
proposes to do is to take away from
executive officers like deputy mar
shals the power to try, decide and
arrest in a room or on the sidewalk
during the actual progress of voting
or canvassing. Evidence may be
collected and preserved against the
accused, to be on the next day pre
sented to a magistrate, but no arbi
trary arrest on election days, except
ing for breach of the peace, murder,
or robbery, or larceny. All chal
lenged votes, if “sworn in’’ and pre
sumably legal, must go into the box,
to be dealt with afterwards as the
law of the State commands.
Miss Nellie, daughter of Governor
Hubbard of Connecticut, a bewitch
ing blonde of nineteen summers,
shocked, the high-toned gilt-edged
society of Hartford, the other day,
by running away with her father’s
coachman, a young fellow named
Shepard. From all accounts how
ever, the young man is sensible, of
fine personal appearalice and of
splendid character, so that the girl
has perhaps, shown good sense in al
lowing her heart to decide her con
duct, instoad of pleasing the shoddy -
ites by marrying some brainless,
thriftless, perambulating advertise
ment of a tailoring establishment.
It is stated that the Governor, her
papa, will not receive any advances
towards a reconciliation, but such

Can it be Stopped.
If the press is an index of popular
sentiment, and it is generally sup
posed to be, there is now going on in
the minds of the people of Georgia a
revolution upon the subject of carry
ing concealed >ns, tha romises
to work a most healthy reform and
result in the blotting out of this relic
of barbarism.
People who have become iattest
ed in it, naturally begin to inquire,
what is the remedy. It seemß that
our present statutes are powerless.
It is no fault of the law itseff, but
the impossibility of having it proper
ly enforced. The Judges are power
less, unless the juries of the county
will indiqt and convict. In too many
cases, to our shame be it said, the
members of the juries are among the
offenders.
The facts beiug true, it stands to
reason that the law will never be en
forced until there is a reaction in
public sentiment, decrying this
false idea of personal bravery which
requires a man to fight upon the
slightest pretext. It is the case now
that a man would as soon be called a
thief, as have it said that he will not
fight. Hence, public sentiment,
which is only after all an aggregation
of individual opinions has winked at
and covertly endorsed the chivalry
that crooks its firger around a pistol
trigger on the slightest provocation,
and the law has been powerless to
put it down.
Public sentiment must be reform
ed. We trust the reform has begun.
In the meantime, can there be no
protection for life and limb while
this slow reform is working itself
out?
We think so.
Hon Edward A. Perkins, of Burke
county, has, we think, struck at the
root of the matter. He will intro
duce at the July session of the gener
al assembly a bill to tax pistols, and
the amunition therefor. He argues
that so long as every negro and boy
can buy a pistol fra dollar and a
drink for a dime, that life and limbs
are in danger. He is correct. He
proposes to levy a tax on pistols that
will almost amount to a prohibition of
their sale. To reach those already
in the hands of the roughs, he pro
poses to tax the ammunition. The
Constitution of the United States
says the right to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed, but we may
regulate it, as we would the sale of
poison.
JyWe hope to see Mr. Perkins’ bill
become a law. We believe it will be
a step in the right direction, and at
least will result iu some protection,
until civilization can in its progressive
march wipe out the morbid and bru
tal habit.
Dying Hard.
It is no doubt a bitter pill for the
radicals in congress to be compelled,
after eighteen years of power, to give
over the reins into the hands of the
despised minority. They perhaps
find it hard to realize that the. gov
ernment is restored to democratic
rule, and it will be a long time before
they can reconcile themselves to the
idea of seeing all their pet schemes
thwarted. The two weeks of the ex
tra session under the new regime
has furnished several illustrations of
the bitterness of soul under which
the stalwarts groan, when they find
themselves outvoted, aud powerless
to dictate or control. Cameron,
Chandler, Blaine, ConkJing and the
rest, endure the moet excruciating
torture iu having to witness the
blarsted rebels rise aud propose mea _
sures contrary to all their schemes
and desires, and have them adopted
iu spite of their protest. They prate
vociferously of revolution,aud danger
to the government; but the beauty
of the situation is that there is uo
fouudation for their pretended fears.
The democrats are engaged in revo
lution only to the extent of repealing
the obnoxious measures adopted by
these same stalwarts, and are doing
all in their power to bring back the
government to its pristine purity and
conformity to the constitution. Sen
ator Hill expressed the condition of
things truthfully when he said that
“the return of the South to the coun
cils of the nation assures the country
of peace and prosperity once more,”
and that “these seats will remain
filled by representative Southern
men.’’
The democrats will be bold and
unflinching in the discharge of the
high trust committed to them, but
at the same time they will be conser
vative, and act with an eye single to
the best interests of the whole coun
try.
The radicals will howl and gnash
tke : r teeth, but their day is past, and
they will have to succumb to the in
evitable.

A Hard Case on Kries.
Under this heading the Constitu
tion of Wednesday, following up an
article on the same line which it
published last week, endeavors to
make it appear that Judge Erwin has
refused to do his duty, and that Hall
county is not ready and willing to
pay the legitimate expenses of her
courts.
Without publishing the somewhat
lengthy article '-om the Constitution ,
we state the case in as few words as
possible: Gus Broaden, a negro,
was on trial for murder in our Su
perior court. There were two wit
nesses that he wanted in his defense
who were in the Fulton county chain
gang. Judge Erwin granted an order
for them under the 4027 section of
code, which reads:
“Any judge of the Superior court
may issue his order to any officer
having any person in his custody,
lawfully imprisoned, to produce such
person before his court for the pur
pose of giving evidence in any crimi
nal case pending therein.”
This order was served op Mr
Kries, who had charge of the con
victs, by the Sheriff of Hall county.
Kries at first refused to obey the
order, but afterwards did so under a
rule to show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt. Then
arose the question as to who should
bear the expense of getting the men
here and returning them to their
places in the chain gang. The Con
stitution seems to think that Hall
county should do so, and that Judge
Erwin should have so ordered. These
are enough of the facts for our
readers to understand the nature of
the case under consideration, and
without being too prolix, we desire
to state as briefly as possible some
points that the Constitution seems to
have overlooked.
We presume that able journal nor
any one else will not deny the justice
and wisdom of the section
of the code quoted. It is not
necessaiy for us to argue its right
eousness, or even to state that but
for its provisions Gus Broaden, the
prisoner for whose benefit the con
victs were needed as witnesses, might
now be under sen ence of execution,
instead of the comparatively light
penalty of ten years in the chain
gang. The law being right, then,
the judge acted properly in granting
the order to compel the attendance
of the two convicts, W T ood and Adair.
Then who was the proper party to
serve the order on. Clearly on the
person or company who had charge
of the men. This was done, and
while Mr. Kries failed or refused to
obey it promptly, yet he did respond
when he found that he was about to
be held liable for contempt. And it
was quite apparent too, from the
neat excuses he made in his answer
to the rule, and the pretty speech of
Col. Glenn in his behalf, that both he
and his attorney thought that he was
bound to obey the order. More thau
this, the question of who should pay
the expenses was not raised until
he had been discharged from the
rule. When that question did come
up, Judge E-win stated frankly that
he did not think Mr. Kries ought to
bear the expenses, and if he could
find any authority for issuing an
order on Hall county, he would do
so and have it paid out of the trea
sury. It turned out, however, that
while there is a law that each county
shall pay the expe uses of her courts
for State’s witness i in crimiual cases,
there is no provision for pay ing the
defendants’ witnesses; but this ex
pense is taxed as costs against the
defendants. This is exactly how the
case stands as regards Mr. Kries.
Judge Erwin was powerless to make
a draft on the treasury of Hall county
for his benefit, and the ordinary and
treasurer were equally without war
rant to relieve the gentlemen. If
the witnesses had been needed for
the State in the case, the county
would have been liable, and would
have farn’shed the sheriff money to
defray the expense. As it is, Mr.
Kries’ expenses are chargeable as
costs against the defendant, and it is
his misfortune that said defendant is
a negro pauper. But it has been
said that Mr. Kries was an. employe
of Fulton county, and only having
charge of the convicts as such tm
ploye, was not the proper party to
have answered the order from Judge
Erwin, but the ordinary of tnat
county should have done so. If thi3
is a fact, Mr. Kries need tot have
brought the prisoners to Gainesville,
but should have made it so appear in
his answer to the rule. But if it was
a fact then, it is nono the less so now
and Mr. Kries has his remedy against
his employes. Hail county is clearly
not liable. J f Fulton is, she should
pay up promptly, and she will not be
longer “short two able-bodied con
victs, nor wi 1 ! Capt. Kries be minus
money.*'
One thing that is driving the ne
groes out of Louisiana and Missis
sippi is the absurd belief which has
obtained a foot-hold among them
that if the democrats elect their
president in 1880 they will all be
seized by the white people and re
duced again to slavery. It is quite
possible that after trying one year of
Kansas hospitality and Kansas
weather, they may change their
minds. The political scamps who
have imposed upon them deserve
condign punishment.

The daughter of Mr. M. Hamilton,

walking about the yard in which had

upon one of these heaps of burning
brush and grass. Her dress caught fire
from the contact; she rushed into the
presence of her father and mother, en
veloped in flames, but, before assist,
ance could be rendered, her clothes
were burned from her body. The in
juries sustained were so fatal that her
physicians give little hope of her recov

young lady of eighteen summers; her
misfortune is mourned by a host of lov

The editors of the Quitman Free

a visit to Floridu. When he arrived at
Je:.iup, he end his party went to the
Altamaha home for tea. Arriving there
he demanded that his colored servant
should have a seat at the table with him
and the ladies, while there were other
guests at the table. This the landlord
refused to allow, whereupon the high?

left. This little incident calls forth
some pertinent remarks from the afore

“Pope it was, we believe, who said:
‘The proper study of mankind is man. ’
But for breadth of thought; depth of
reasoning; scope for the imagination
and fertility of speculal’on, commend
us to this problem: How is it that a
woman can carry her parasol; two or
three bundles from the store; half a do
zen flower cuttings, and yet, have a
spare hand to hold up her skirt ? She
can, also, when thus encumbered, turn
and examine, with critical minuteness, a
wrinkle in the tit of another woman's
diess, without a bobble. We argue,
therefore, that woman—as she is with
these wonderful powers—is also, a prop
er study for man. Pope didn’t tell but
half the story. Probably they didn’t
have trails in his day.”
We will say for the benefit of our

GRAND OPENING OF DRESS GOODS, CARPETS, SHOES AND PATS
AT THE
MAMMOTH HOUSE OF JOHN RYAN
WHITEHALL STREET, ATLANTA, GA.
Never before have goods been offered at such sacrifices in New York as during the
past week. Large merchants and manufacturers have been so crammed with goods and
with poor prospects of selling them, have been forced to put them under the merciless
nammer of the auctioneer. Such was the awful condition of the market when John Ryan’s
spring stock was bought; and having attended these sales with the much-need6d cash,
(the only purchaser from Atlanta,) he will now offer goods at such unapproachable figures

John Ryan has been
Supplying a Great Many Cities in Georgia
with carpets, their buyers having found they could buy cheaper from him than in New
York. Read carefully and compare closely these quotations, and ask the man of whom
you have been buying goods to match or even come within long range. He will answer
that his goods, although of the some mould, stamp and number,are better; he will answer
in the cowardly language of a dead competitor, that his are good, whilst Ryan’s just come
from the auction room.
TRUE FOR ONCE-THEY DID.
And. they might truthfuliy add, from Manufacturers. Importers, Broken Merchants, and
wherever the almighty dollar claims undivided attention. Not bought of the stupid,
sleepy, old regular 6-months’ time, but by competent buyers trained in the hard school of
long experience, educated to the professioa by years cf triumphs in the auction rooms,
the custom house, and the gigantic sales of seized and unclaimed packages, where only
the scientific scholar of judgment, of courage, pluck and ability are the victors;-
where, too, they of the big bump of egotistic self-esteem, loaded down to the water's edge
with old rye, are the invariable and inevitable victims. It is simply the shock and deadly
struggle between solid sense and nonsense—between cash down and time; it is brains and
money and money against an empty pocket and an emptier head. Ay, more, it is Right
against wrong; and it is the dead certainty of success over the martyr of a system that is
fast being buried in the ruins of defeat and disaster. John Ryan is agent for Butterick’s
Patterns. Largest stock of Notions, Fancy Goods, Zephyr collars and cuffs to be found
m the city. Send for samples.
