BY RED W,J \ E &. HAM.
Friday Morning, April 11* 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 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 Eaqle the
sprightliest and newsiest weekly in
Georgia, but we must have the sm
ews of war —the money to aid us.
If every good laugh draws a nail
out of a man’s coffin, they will have
to use screws in Dorse Alexander’s.
What in the dickens and Tom
Walker has become of that other
paper which Americus was going to
have ?
Arthur Helps said: “Contentment
abides with truth.” This accounts
for the lack of contentment among
modern politicians.
Give the editors a good pair of
shears, and free passage to the paste
pot, and the world will never lack
for printed wisdom.
President Estill gives notice that
the Georgia Press Association will
convene at Cartersville on Wednes
day, May the 14th, at 12 m.
The dogs of Georgia eat up corn
onough every year to make sufficient
whisky to keep the Georgia legisla
ture in high spirits the entire ses
sion.
If the next legislature will tax
dogs and pistols, we will try to worry
through another year of tribulation
with short rations of other legisla
tion.
And now John Russell Young is
going to write “Grant’s Travels
Around the World.” Sorry we cant’
subscribe, John, bat we don’t want
it at any price.
- ....
The next trials of skill to be intro
duced will be to drink two thousand
glasses of beer in two thousand quar
ter hours. The number of contest
ants will be large.
If the marshal of the day will allow
the procession to halt for a moment,
we desire to inquire whether the
Georgia legislature will give us a dog
law, or declare sheep contraband of
war.
Brick Pomeroy is whooping up the
groenback cause in his old enthusi
astic way, and what with him and
Bullie Billie Christopher and Billie
Bullie Hanleiter, resumption may not
be such a fixture after all.
We neglected'to mention in an article
elsewhere that Dorse Alexander, of
the Griffin News, will be at the press
convention, with anew patent long
handled clasp hook, designed to fish
yellow-legged chickens from the
depths of the largest coop.
Most of the cities and towns of
Ohio held municipal elections on the
7th, and the result shows a pretty
even division between the democrats
and republicans, though the latter
captured the three large cities—Cin
cinnati, Columbus and Cleveland.
We get this from the Atlanta
Phonograph, but we believe Chris
stole it:“Talmage says: ‘God thought
so much of the Chinamen that he
created 300,000,000 of them.’ By the
same mode of reasoning we can infer
that he thought so little of Talmago
that he only created one of him.”

John Triplett, of the Thomasville
Times, will be at the press conven
tion in his best bib and tucker; like
wise John Gorman in his bland smile,
white tie and his No. 11 pedometers.
VVe feel it our duty to warn the Car
tersville girls that they aro heartless
flirts and gay deceivers, both of
them.
In the national house of represent
ative the center aisle divides the two
parties exactly, the democrats being
on the right and the republicans on
the left. This is exactly according
to the eternal fitness of things, as the
democrats are right and the republi
cans will be left in the next cam
paign.
The Comptroller of the currency
at Washington has suddenly taken a
notion to give an opinion against
Georgia’s baby bonds, intimating
that they are bills of credit and
unconstitutionally issued. The comp
troller has simply got it down wrong,
and the babies will float in spite of
his opinion.
We were rejoicing last week that
for the first time in twenty years
Chicago had elected a democratic
mayor; but this week we have to
mourn over the loss of Cincinnati,
which elected a republican mayor
last Monday. But, then, this is an
off year in politics,and strange things
are expected to occur,
Charleston is in sore distress be
cause Judge Bond, of the United
States district court, is about to ap
ply the test oath to jurors in that
court. It is said that no white man
can take it, and it will have|the effect
of placing only negroes on the juries;
and this, too, when there are 250
well-known citizens charged with
violations of the election laws*
The Georgia Press Association, j
This body of able and ambiguous
propellers of the gray goose quill will
assemble at Cartersville the four
teenth of next month. The Carters
villians—don’t like the sound of that
last syllable, but in too great a hurry
to change it—are making big prepa
rations for the entertainment of their
invited guests, and a very large-sized
time may be expected.
A press association is verily a big
thing. There is, or at least always
has been, a large amount of rusty
grip sacks, a plethora of paper col
lars, a shower of blue ribbon rosettes,
a vasty amount of chin music, and
no scarcity of free hash. If there is
any one thing to which an editor’s
soul ever turns with an unsatiated
longing, it is the flesh-pots of Egypt,
or any other place, containing free
hash. As the deer panteth after the
water brooks, or a politician thirstetb
for red liquor, so doth the soul of an
editor hunger for the succulent pro
vender for which he hath toiled not,
neither hath he spun.
Charley Willingham, the great un
tamed independent of the fiery sev
enth, will be at the breech of the ma
chine, and aided by Cunningham,
the sedate, sober, organized demo
crat of the bailiwick, will do the
honors.
We will all be there. Estill the
grave, Howell the jolly, Gregg
Wright the polished patrician, and
H. H. J., the victor of a thousand
well-fought and gloriously-won bat
tles with the knife and fork, will be
there. Henry Cabaniss the dignified,
Hanleiter the punster, Blocker the
irrepressible, and Shivers, the solid
muldoon of the Warrenton Clipper ,
will be there. Geo. Woods, with his
latest improved copper-bottomed
curve-necked Montenegrin gourds,
warranted not to rip, tear, nor cut in
the eye; Charley Pendleton, with his
gold-rimmed spectacles; and Burton
of the South Georgian, with his un
dercut overstrung wrought iron
bridge and left-handed screw fiddle,
will fringe the edges of the occasion.
Billie Christopher, and sweet Dicky
Bird Grubb, and Tucker, and Sulli
van, and John Christian, and Black
burn, and Hancock the fat and
short winded colonel, and Frank
Evans, and Boyd, all will be there.
And John Gorman, the sweet daisy,
will be there; and Fatty Mumford,
the sweet singer of the glades of Tal
bot, will be there; aud Martin, the
elongated exclamation point of hu
manity, will be there; and Molutosh,
the champion billiardist, will be
there; and Waddey, the tub of hu
man fat, and Perham, the free lance
of the South, wi Ibe there. And Je
rusha Jenkins, Hail Columbia, the
laud of the free and the home A the
brave, hi diddle diddle, the cut and
the fiddle, won’t we have a time ! !
But we will miss some old familiar
faces. Gene Speer will boa cherished
memory only, and John Waterman
will be gone North. Cney W.
Styles, the old Nestor, will nor. ring
his bugle note against patent insides,
and the solemn hush will be hard to
bear. Ah, well, every sweet has its
bitter, and the corners of t m corri
dors of the ages are Aligned with
the cobwebs of recollection of the
great and good who have gone out
lrom among us.
The balance of us will be there.
Let the free hash cauldron bubble
light merrily. Tune up the buz.’uz,
sound out the hewgag, aud let joy be
u neon fined.
A Sample Radical hie.
Says the Chicago Tribune : “The
Georgia idea of the colored element
is that it will do well enough as a
basis for congressional representa
tions, in which it counts man for
man with the white population, but
w en it comes to making up jury
lists under the new constitution a
negro rates as one twentieth of a
white man. The new system of em
paneling juries places the matter in
the hands of three white citizens in
each county, and the average of ne
groes on the lists throughout the
State is about 5 per cent; and this,
too, is just about the percentage of
chances that a colored man wiii get
justice and fair play in a Georgia
court.”
If the Tribune had taken the trouble
to have inoculated its bombastic
buncombe with a small grain of
truth, it might have added that five
per cent was the full amount of those
intelligent enough to serve as jurors.
In Georgia we select jurors accord,
ing to their intelligence. In Chicago
they select them according to the
case they have in hand. If they
want to clear a whiskey ring they get
a jury of whiskey theives. When
they want to convict the south of
something she never did they select
a jury of lying radical editors.
Asa sample of Georgia courts
“justice and fair play” to a colored
man, we may mention the case of
Gus Broaden tried for murder at the
late term of our Surperior court.
He was as black as the hinges of
hell. Negroes swore for and against
him. There was a jury of white men,
intelligent white men. He was de
fended, and ably defended by white
counsel. The evidence was strong,
and had he been convicted of mur
der, nobody could have gainsaid the
justice of the verdict. But he was
found guilty of manslaughter, and
sentenced by a white Judge to ten
years in the penitentiary, when un
der the law it could have been made
twenty. In the language of the able
Chicago prevaricator, “this is about
the percentage of chances that a
colored man will get justice and fair
play in a Georgia court.
Republican Cant.
The present talk of the radicals in
congress about revolution, and their
charges of fraud upon the democrats,
are the veriest cant imaginable.
They know it, too. The simple trou
ble is that they cannot bear to think
that their power is gone, and that
they are helplessly in the minority.
Having held the reins of government
for eighteen years, they do not intend
to surrender it if they can help it-
The underlying and all-potent idea
with them is, that everything which
strengthens their party and gives
them power is right, and that all
which the democrats do is wrong.
Hence their strong opposition to
present legislation. They feel that
it is making capital for the demo
crats, and is but the knell of their
own defeat for all time to come.
They care nothing for the country or
the constitution. Their whole ambi
tion is for their party success, and
the gains that it will bring with it.
This ranting about revolutionary
measures is too thin to bear scrutiny,
and the people will not be gulled by
it. None know better than the radi
cals themselves that it is perfectly
legitimate to attach extraneous mat
ter to the appropriation bills. That
party instituted the custom, when
just before the war they attached
political legislation to appropriation
bills and forced them through; but
now, when the democrats, following
the precedent set by themselves, are
trying to repeal the most obnoxious
measures ever put upon a people who
boast of a free ballot, they howl and
go into spasms over what they call
revolution. The difference is that
in one case the republican party was
aided, and in the other it is the dem
ocrats who are gaining all the glory
and benefits. We trust and believe
that none of this yell on the part of
the roarers will have any effect to de
ter the democracy from doing their
full duty, and adopting such meas
ures as are demanded by the best in
terests of the country. We are glad
to know that, notwithstanding Gar
field and his crew raised a howl in
the house and threatened ail sorts of
things, that body went straight for
ward in their line of duty, and have
done so much to restore the freedom
of elections, as guaranteed by the
constitution.
We believe tho senate will do the
same, and there is little prospect that
Hayes will dare to veto the measures.
So surely, then, as this is done, will
the chances of the democracy to elect
their president next year be increased
The radicals realize this, and it gives
additional volume to their howls of
mortification. Let the good work
go on.
Another “Oholona Man.”
The Cuthbert True Southron, which
is nothing if not pithy, pungent and
witty, replying to a statement of the
New York Tribune that the confed
eracy was running the legislative
machine, soys:
Yes, sir; the “Confederate Brig-i
--deers ’ hold the reins of government,
and will show you how to run if, hon
estly. They will make Hayes wear
a confederate uniform before winter
has come, restore -Jeff Davis to secre
tary of war. decorate the capitol with
life-size portraits of the confederate
cabinet, burn the Tribune and hang
the editors for advising the South to
secede. In short, they propose to
raise the devil, and move Alaska
down South,so we can have ice cheap.
Next year, when we elect Tilden, we
are going to annex all of England,
Mexico, Canada and China. You
better begin to move, Mr. Tribune.
The Tribune can now let up on the
Mississippi Okolonean, and tu. a its
attention to the Southron man for a
brief space.
The Georgia delegation taka the
following places on the house com
mittee: Mr. Nicholls—on Foreign
Affairs. Mr. Smith—on Military
and Patents. Mr. Cook—Ch Public
Buildings and Grounds. Mr. Per
sons—on Agriculture and Naval Af
fairs—Mr. Hammond—on Judiciary.
Mr. Blount—on Appropriations, and
Chairman Expenditures in Depart
ment of Justice. Mr. Felton —on
Ways and Means. Mr. Stephens
on Rules, and Ch. on Coins, and
Weights and Measures. Mr. Sneer
—on Elections.
Ik now turns out that one of Mr.
Blaine’s nephews, R. C. Walker, had
been guilty of a heavy defalcation as
paymaster of the army. He pre
tended insanity to hide it, and then
resigned. Afterward Blaine tried to
reinstate him, because he said he
was insane when he resigned; but
the truth leaked out, and the Maine
papers are raising the senator. In
sanity and sunstroke are very good
dodges.
It is thought congress will adjourn
as soon as the appropriation bills are
passed. They went through the
house last week, and are now before
the senate. We think that by the
time they reach Hayes he will be
clear out of the notion to veto them.
The English troops have met with
another disastrous rout in Zula
land. About 100 men were escorting
a wagon train, when they were at
tacked by 4,000 Zulus, and only forty
escaped. Forty others were killed
and twenty were missing.
Since Niles, of the Griffin News,
has been editing the Tennyson Club,
he has come to form a very low esti
mate of Billy Shakespeare’s effusions
and thinks “As You* Like it” quite
void of merit. Well, Nilts ought to
know.

One hundred and twenty-one mar

•The Albany Advertiser is booming.
Its last issue is a triple sheet, filled with
large and we presume, paying advertise
ments, besides much interesting read
ing matter.
If you do not want the Franklin Reg
ister man to publish a thing you must
keep it out of his reach. If he ever
lays his hands on it the world will be
enlightened.
W. E. Dodge, of New York, lectured
the Eastman Sabbath school on holi
ness, last Sunday. W. E. will be re
membered as the Dodge who imported
block tin from England marked “Works
of Arts,” to save duty. A sharp Dodne
is W. E. and a holy, as the world gqdk.
A fool man and his fool wife in Ogle
thorpe county agreed twenty years ago,
for some trifling cause, not to speak to
each other and they have adhered to
the resolution ever since. Still they
have had children, and are very pleas
ant with everybody except each other.
It is a queer case.
A gentleman of Albany has a dog,
which the Advertiser brags on. He was
given a note by his master to get some
cigars. He got them, then went by the
beef-market and swapping the cigars
for a piece of beef trotted home to show
what a good trade he had made. Smart
dog that.
Hodges, of the Southerner & Appeal,
has a “diabolical outrage” in his last
issue which is correctly named. It is
an outrage, and a diabolical outrage to
have a man whose time is worth a hun
dred dollars an hour, read a whole col
umn only to learn at the end that it is
all vapid balderdash.
We met a subscriber of ours the oth
er day who talks as we like to hear a
man. He said he could not do without
the paper—he must have it, and that if
he had his boys to raise over again he
would tell them to take a paper if they
had to split rails at night to make mon
ey enough to pay for it. —Sparta Times
& Planter.
South Georgia is seriously contempla
ting changing pine for possum. One
man near McVille caught thirty-two
possums in one night and sold them
for sixteen dollars. He cut a raft of
timber in three weeks and sold it at a
profit of thirteen dollars. Considering
the two he has reached the conclusion
that he will go regularly into the pos
sum business. So says the McVille
Georgian.
Mrs. Wm. H. Peck, of Atlanta, who
was one of the sufferers by the accident
on the New York elevated railroad, is
still confined in a hospital in New York.
Her injuries are found to be much more
serious than at first thought, they being
of an internal character. Her hair
which was perfectly black is now
streaked with gray. Her husband is
going to try to make the corporation
dance for its negligence.
Our readers will remember that we
gave the facts a short time ago in refer
ence to a girl who had been reared in
the Appleton home in Macon, but whom
her mother, a lewd woman, was trying
to obtain possession of. The Episcopa
lians of Atlanta have been contesting
the matter to prevent the girl from fall
ing into a life of shame, and have at
last triumphed, by sending her 'to her
uncle in Texas. This was with her
mother’s consent and it is earnestly
hoped that the pretty waif’s life may be
happy and virtuous.
Commenting on Algx. Stephens’ reve
nue speech, Charley Willingham makes
the following characteristic deliverance:
“For these reasons we have been and
still are in favor of free whisky because
it will be purer. Free whiasy will give
the farmers a chance to realize the
fruits of their labor. Free whisky, like
any other product, is democratic. As
long as people will drink whisky we are
in favor of good whisky ard pure whis
ky and cheap whisky.” Those who
know Charley will realize tow much Ilia
heart is in the matter.
CURRENT OPINION.

Thurman may plant and Bayard wa

Samuel J. was fore-ordained to gather

Result of a Dispute.

A nigger and a mule had a dispute
last week in Middle Georgia. They

He Stakes Itis Reputation.
Houston Age,
We cheerfully stake our reputation as
a prophet on the prediction that on the
fourth day of March, in the year of
grace 1881, Samuel J. Tilden, of New
York, will be inaugurated president of
the United States of America.
The Runny Garfield.
Washington Post.
Mr. Garfield is seldom facetious, but
he must have meant to be very funny
when he referred to the “immaculate
record” of the republican party. Even
the marine cavalry would have laughed
immoderately had they been among his
auditors.
The Democrats Ahead.
Washington Post.
In brains the democrats overtop their
political opponents largely in both
houses. There were but three speeches
worth noticing made by the republi
cans, while on the democratic side five
were very able, and at least a dozen
more notable.
Each According to his Light.
Philadelphia Times.
Senator McDonald, of Indiana, doesn’t
see how ex-Governor Hendricks can
take the second place again on a ticket
with Tilden. Mr. Hendricks, however,
appears to have a better pair of eyes
than Mr. McDonald, for there are strong
indications that he does see how it can
be done.
The Gentle Buford Ought to he Released.
Buffa o Express.
Colonel Buford, who shot Judge El
liott, says he frequently communes with
the spirit of his dead sister. There can
be no doubt about it—tlie Colonel is
insane. And very likely his health will
be seriously impaired if he is kept im
prisoned much longer—he ought to be
released at once.
Friends to the Coroner.
Holly Springs, Miss., Reporter.
Concealed weapons are like Brutus
and Jack Sheppard, friends of the coro
ner. They give him meat, and drink,
and clothing. Without the pocket pis
tol and silent, but terrible, little dirk,
the coroner would go to bed hungry
and wake up every morning with his
creditors at the door. They are ene
mies to society, but great friends to the
coroner.

Let the federal brigadiers take back

don’t it make you feel queer to think
that we’ve defeated you fellows after
all, and captured the capital !
The Dreadful Southern People.
Detroit Free Press.
It is dreadful how these Southern
people willfully deprive the colored citi
zens of their rights. A colored boy
stole Mrs. Senator Gordon’s pocket-book
a few days ago and was captured. There
is no sort of doubt but he had every
right to a cell in the prison, yet he was
rudely deprived of this boon because
Mrs. Gordon refused to prosecute him.
How much longer will the free people
of the North stand this sort of thing ?
Lots of “Revolution.”
<*
New York Sun.
Whenover a republican thief is caught
and stopped from stealing, he cries
revolution. If the army is forbidden
to interfere with elections, it is revolu
tion. If barbarous test-oaths are strick
en from the statute-books, it is revolu
tion. If free elections are demanded
and hired creatures to control them are
abolished, again it is revolution. They
are likely to get plenty of such revolu
tion before congress adjourns.
The Senate and Corbin.
Washington Post.
The bogus president had the peculiar
ly Hayesish impudence yesterday to
send to the senate the name of that
broken-down carpet-bagger and politi
cal hack, David T. Corbin, for the po
sition of chief justice of the supreme
court of Utah Territory. The demo
cratic senate should, in the uncultured
but expressive language of an old-time
western legislator, sit down upon this
rascally nomination “in thunder tones.”
A Pact to be Remembered,
Washington Post.
It is well to familiarize the people
with the fact that R. B. Hayes, M. C.,
voted with his party in 1872 for an army
appropriation bill containing legislation
expressly designed to strip the presi
dent of one or more of his most impor
tant prerogatives. And now the repub
licans are threatening that the man who
thus voted will veto acts of congress in
order to defeat a majority of congress
and the people in their effort to repeal
uncons itutlonal and partisan legisla
tion.
Very Affectionate.
Philadelphia Chronicle.
This time it is “My dear Mr. Evarts,”
who says to “My dear Mr. Reid,” of
the New York Tribune, will you not step
abroad, my dear, and represent your
country at the court of the Kaiser Wil
helm ? “My dear Mr. Reid” notes that
this is the proudest moment of his life,
but in contemplation of the time when
“My dear Mr. Evarts” will not be in
cabinet, but will be wanting a newspa
per to boost him in the senate, “My
dear Mr. Reid” begs to be allowed to
continue to serve his country at the
head of u great cipher-mining com
pany.

JOHN RYAN.

GRAND OPENING OF DRESS, GOODS, CARPETS, SHOES AND HATS
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
hammer 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-needed cash,
(the only purchaser from Atlanta,) I 9 will now offer goods at such unapproachable figures
as to make opposii'on s,p id and ehiver in amazement, and make them wish they were
one of tie ('ortum.te in having sold ti tirely their winter stock and now be able to place
before their customers anew and fresh spring stock.
325 Ladies’ regular mr ie hose, 15 cents per pair—worth 40 cents. 27 dozen Gents’
Balbriggan Socks, silk-clocked, at 25 cents. Same quality as sold one week ago at 50

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 aud 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 aud 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—THE Y 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-mouths’ time, but by competent buyers trained in the hard school of
long experience, educated to the professioa by years of triumphs in the auction rooms,
the custom house, aud the gigantic sales of seized and unclaimed nauKages
Hie scientific scholar of judgment, of courage, pluck and ability are the victors, and
where, too, they of the big bump of egotistic self-esteem, loaded down to the wate.’s edge
with old rye, are the invariable and inevitable victims. It is simply the shook and deadly
struggle between solid sense and nonsense—between cash down aud time; it is brains and
money and money against an empty pocket and an emptier head. Ay, more, it is
against wrong; and it is the dead certainty of success over the martyr of a system that is
fast being buried in the ruins ol defeat and disaster. John Ryan is agent for Butterick’s
Patterns. Largest stock of Notions, Fancy Goods, Zephyr collars and cuff’s to be found
in tho city. Send for samples.
