THE EAGLE.
B Y R C iFw A E & II A M
Friday Mom it May 1), 1879.
Ex-Gov. Seymour has formally re
fused to become a candidate for Gov
ernor of New York.
Keely and his motor are not a
thing of the past, He made another
exhibition the other day.
If a few more couutry papers will
announce for Tilden his nomination
will be a foregone conclusion.
The Press Association convenes in
Cartersville next Wednesday. We
hope to associate with the gang.
The Decatur News nominates Mrs.
Jenks for President, and the Widow
Oliver for Vice. Mary knows all
about vice.
Talmages Tabernacle threatens to
cut looso from the regular Presbyter
ian church, and set up a government
of its own.
It remains to be seen whether
Hayes’ backbone is stiff enough for
another veto. Vetos are straining
things on backbones.
Brick Promoroy alludes to a man
who “is just as far wrong, as he caD
be with his limited intellect.’’ Neat
way of putting it.
You may write it down in your
political notebook that U. S. Grant,
or John Sherman will bo the repub
lican candidate for President next
year.
The stalwarts had better beat up
their starch pot preparatory to giv
ing Rutherfords spine an additional
stiffening. The democrats are going
to shoot the sixth section at him
again.
Anent all this talk about Tilden, it
should be remembered that Bob
Toombs has sworn a mighty oath
never to vote for him. This should
divest the boom of some at least of
its unanimousness.
Captain Strange, a United States
deputy marshal, made a raid into
Gordon county the other day, captu
red three men and destroyed a large
illicit distillery. They were fired
upon from the woods by unknown
parties.
Dr. Luke P. Blackburn, the old
physician who was so prominent, un
tiring, and zealous in the relief of the
yellow fever sufferers last summer,
was nominated by the democracy of
Kentucky last Friday for Governor.
Ho will be elected.
A man named Freeman at Pocas
sett, Mass,, killed his five year old
daughter one day last week in a lit of
religious frenzy. Ho said that he
had a revelation from heaven de
manding that he sacrifice his child,
and declaring she would rise again
in three days.
A correspondent of the New York
Sun referring to the sale, by Secre
tary Thompson, of 7,500 Remington
rifles at $4.50 each, says tho guns are
worth SO.OO each, and would bring it
if put up at auction. Another little
leak of $25,000. Tho correspondent
thinks there ought to be a little con
gressional inquiry.
Col. Shivers of the Warrenton
Clipper has put his foot in it again
with his usual perspicious abandon.
He thinks that because the United
Mates paid Georgia $72,000 that we
will be compelled in turn to pay a
million or two to Uucle Sam. This is
exactly correct, save that it is large
ly, iu fact totally otherwise. The
payment was an admission that the
Government could no t tax Georgia.
Right ugly is the charge by
Congressman Lowe, of Alabama,
against Senator John Logan, of Illi
nois. Ho says Logan raised troops
in Illinois for the Confederate servi
ces, engineered them across the line,
and then deserted them to take a
position in the Union army because
the pay was better. The statement
is backed up by affidavits of some of
the men who were enlisted by him.
The republican managers rely upon
the army as their chief resource, in
connection with money to be provid
ed by the the pet banks, the con
tractors, and the officeholders, for
carrying the Presidency next year.
Their situation is desperate, and
therefore desperate means must be
employed. Hence this resistance to
legislation which proposes to deprive
them of one auxiliary.
The Democrat, the Greeubacker,
or the Independent who does not see
through this whole partisan scheme
must indeed be bliud; or if, knowing
its purpose, he does not oppose it to
the last extremity, he must bo lost to
every impulse of patriotism. The
American people want no soldiers,
under any possible pretext, about
their elections. They mean to have
a free ballot, and if it can he obtain
ed by no other means, they will de
maud of Congress to abolish the ar
my. In the language of Sumner, we
say: Stick to the repeal of soldiers
at the polls, soldiers as police, or sol
diers to supercede the local authority
of the States. Stick all the time,
and do not vote a dollar of the peo
ple’s money to furnish bayonets for
use against tho people. —New lark
Sun.
, Tiie Only Man.
There must be an altitudinous op
pressive loneliness about being an
only raau,the fortunate or unfortunate
mortal who is thrown or can climb to
the pinnacle of current events,
and casting about him his red and
prophetic eye discern no other son
of Adam who can approximate his
position. If he be of an exclusive and
selfish turn of mind he may find com
fort in his position, but if he be of a
sociable, hale-fe-llovv-well-met cast of
character, it would seem that he
would berate the fates who made of
him an only man. The man who is
so small that no one will notice him,
that none will stoop to do him hom
age, that even the dogs are too
proud to bark at as he passes
by, who must live on and exist, and
have a being alone and unloved, and
dying go down to his grave, un
known, unwept and unsung, can
hardly be happy, must find few
beauties in life. On the other hand
he who towers above and beyond his
fellows until even the bravest and
strongest can not approximate his
altitude, who sifa alone, solemn, sad
and conspicuous on the very apex of
exalted station, reposes far up on
the highest peaks of the age in which
he lives, so high that he can scarcely
hear the murmurs of the strife far
below, can barely catch the strains
of earth’s music, the revelry of the
happy millions lost in the ratified at
mosphere which surrounds him,
must be an object of pity to those
whose more easily satisfied ambi
tions leaves them some of the com
panionship, some of the brightness,
some of the music of the circling
spheres.
Mr. Tilden is an only man. The
backbone of the boom which is ' to
make him again the standard-bearer
of the democracy, consists alone of
this fact. New York is the union,
and Tilden is New York. Woe is
us. Sad spectacle is the democratic
party. A republican form of gov
ernment is supposed to be of the
people, by the people, and for the
people. If what is claimed of Tilden
be true, then it is of Tilden, by Til
den, and for Tilden. It is neither
here nor there, whether Tilden is a
good man or a bad man. He is an
only man, which is of far more ac
count just now. Tilden alone can
carry New York, New York alone
can elect a president.
We are not arguing against Til
den. We are not saying he ought
not to be nominated. We are can
vassing neither his fitness or unfit
ness for the position, but we are tired
of all this sort of only man talk.
Can it bo, is it true, that the New
York democracy belongs to a man,
any man, an only man, rather than a
principle? Is it always to be thus?
Is New York to be the monarch, the
autocrat of this union? Can we
never, or hardly ever, elect a capable
and honest man unless he be from
New York? These are questions
which should bo met and answered
by the people who have the perpet
uation of this'union, and the princi
ples upon which it is founded at
heart.
If the democracy of New York will
not vote for any man not of its choos
ing, who does not carry about his
clothes the aroma of its great com
mercial mart, and swear allegiance
to its great financial interests, its
moneyed aristocracy, then the New
York democracy is not the loyal ally
we would like to have it. Some day
the experiment will be tried, and we
shall see what we shall see.
Tlie tox Case.
It has been years since the trial of
any man for any crime has excited
so much interest as that of Edward
Cox, of Fulton county, for the mur
der of Col. R. A. Alston. With fe
verish anxiety people have waited
result of the trial which has been
going on £or a week in Fulton Supe
rior court. The trial ended on
Wednesday by the jury rendering
the following verdict:
We, the jury, find the prisoner guil
ty, and recommend that he be punished
by imprisonment for life in the peni
teutiary. C. P. Bogan, Foreman.
In obedience to the recommenda
tion of the jury Judge Hillyer passed
the following sentence:
“Whereupon, it is ordered, consid
ered and adjudged by the court that the
defendant, Edward Cox, be taken from
the bar of this court to the jail of Ful
tou county, and be there safely kept
until a sufficient guard is sent for him
from the penitentiary of this State, and
be then delivered to, and bo by said
guard, taken to said penitentiary and
there, or at such other place as the gov
ernor may direct, he, the said Edward
Cox, be confined at hard labor for and
during his natural life.
By the Court, May 7th, 1879.
B. H. Hill, Jb., Sol.-Gen.
Geo. Hillyee, Judge, S. C., A. C.
Counsel for the defense gave no
tice of a motion for new trial, and
the court granted an order sus
pending the execution of the sen
tence for twenty days to give time to
write out the evidence and argue
the motion. Should the court re
fuse the row trial, the case will go
to tho August term of the Supreme
court.
While there is no question that
the evidence would have justified a
verdict of murder, still the finding oi
the jury will be accepted by the pub
lic as a just one.
The scene at the rendering of the
verdict is described as most heart
rending, the agonized wife of the
unfortunate man shrieking and moan
ing, and being only restrained from
jumping from a second story window
by main force.
‘‘Tlie Okolona States.”
The editors, of the Okolona South
ern States published at Okolona, Mis
sissippi, are a pair of rare birds.
They are acquiring a great deal of
notoriety, and it not of a very desira
ble sort. The kind of -reputation
gained by liberal advertising of im
becility is hardly to be desired by
sensible men. A little nonsense now
and then, is relished, etc., but too
much of it nauseates. An ordinary
fool may sometimes amuse, but he
never convinces anybody of anything
save his own want of sense. A com
parative fool may chain attention for
a moment by his extravagant antics,
and perchance may excite in the
breasts of the charitable, pity for hia
lack of endowments, but a superla
tive fool, one of these regular, built
by contract, three-story idiots, excites
only disgust. Unless our mental
measurement of the Okolona Slates
men is considerably off the balance
they belong to the last mentioned
invoice.
Lately they have written a letter
to the National Vieio of Washington,
a recently established weekly, devo
ted to the forlorn hope of the De La
Matyr Nationals, in which they avow
that they are not carpet-baggers,
that they are not in the pay of the
radical party, and in short are demo
cratic journalists of the straightest
sect.
All this may be so. We will do
them the charity to agree that ail
they have said is true save wherein
they claim to speak for the demo
cratic party. This they do not do.
A radical-democrat is as bad as a
radical-republican. W’e would not
turn around for the difference, and a
man, or men, who gives utterance to
the seething, red-hot, uncompromis
ing, impracticable, howling blood and
thunder which have characterized
the extracts lately so widely clipped
from the States, speaks only for him
or themselves, and in no sense voice
the sentiment of the great demo
cratic party of this union. On the
contrary they misrepresent it, and
furnish food for those who fatten
only on villification and abuse of the
South and the democracy. Whether
intentionally or not they do harm,
great harm.
The editor of the States may be
honest, but he lacks, sadly lacks,
judgment. He misunderstands, eith
er wilfully, or by reason of a circum
scribed intellect, the purposes of the
party to which he claims he belongs,
and the sooner he learns this, or the
party entirely repudiates him and
his wild, incoherent utterances the
better for both. He owns his presses
and his type, we live in a land of a
free press. He can say what he
likes, but he cannot make the demo
cratic party responsible therefor,
and the blatant whoopers who seek
to convey the impression that the
States is a sample of the democratic
party simply make asses of them
selves.
Tlie Dead Lock.
When President Hayes vetoed the
army appropriation bill, the query at
once arose “what will the democrats
do about it.” In caucus a few days
since they resolved to do what they
ought to have done at first, viz: To
pass the bill repealing the obnoxious
statutes and submit it to the Presi
dent, letting the appropriation bill
sleep meanwhile. It was our judge
ment that this should have been
done at first, Had it been Mr. Hayes
could not have had the excuse, slight
though it was to veto it because of
the form in which it was presented.
Inasmuch as one of the reasons
advanced for the veto was the con
demnation of the practice of attach
ing riders to appropriation bills, in
which we will say in passing we agree
with Mr. Hayes, we shall wait with
some interest to see what other ex
cuse he will offer for vetoing the
measures in a separate bill. Should
he again veto, then let Congress take
a recess until December, and let Mr,
Hayes have time to meditate on the
error of his ways.
Georgia’s Financial Pattern.
It is stated that Gen. Gordon is
maturing a plan for the financial
relief of the country based upon
Georgia’s recent and successful ex
periment, He proposes to introduce
a bill to fund the next installment of
United States bonds which can be call
ed in,into four per cent. United States
bonds of small denominations, and
in such form and shape as will make
them available for a circulating me
dium where parties are disposed to
use them. In this way the Senator
thinks he can solve the problem of
how to increase the volume of cur
rency without deprecia ting its value.
Should such a scheme ever become
a law it will be quite a feather in
Georgia’s cap, to have set the pat
tern for the financial relief of the
whole country. We hope Senator
Gordon will mature his plan and
push it to success.

KIND WORDS.
WIIAT THE PRESS SAY s ABOUT US.
One of t lie very best.
Albany Advertiser.
The Eagle has become
one of the very best papers in the State
since Ham’s connection with it.
Very Similar- Birds.
Washington Gazette.
The Gainesville Eagie is one of the
best weeklies that comes to our table.
The Eagle and Hawkeye are very simi
lar birds.
A big Bird.
Irwinton Southerner.
It is with pleasure we present to our
readers this week, in another column,
an advertisement of the Gainesville
Eagle. See the card. The paper is as
good as it is claimed to be, and you
need have no fear that you will not get
the worth of your money if you sub
scribe. The EAgle is a big bird among
the Georgia weeklies and we value it in
a high degree.
The Gainesville Eagle.
Planter & Grange.
This meritorious journal is one of tho
best in the State. It is conducted with
ability, and exceptional dignity and
moderation of sentiment. It never has
an intemperate word upon men or meas
ures. It is newsy too, keeping up full
with the progress of public events.
Such papers are'a credit to the State,
and deserve the support of The people.
A Rare old Bird.
Hartwell Sun.
That rare old bird, the Gainesville
Eagle, now under the management of
Redwine & Ham, is just soaring, but
any ono can catch this bird and hold it
for four mouths trial by putting fifty
cents’ worth of salt on its tail. Redwine
and Ham—what more solid diet do you
want than these two articles spread be
fore you. No fears of dyspepsia need
be entertained. See advertisement.
A Sprightly Journal.
Warrenton Clipper.
The Gainesville Eagle has a neat ad
vertisement iu 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
tor. Suffice to say that many firm ad.
mirers iu this territory will greatly
appreciate his improved talent and the
sprightly journal ho now conducts; the
advertisement we have already noticed.
The Gainesville Eagle.
Jefferson News & Farmer.
Wc have before spoken of this news
paper. It is one of the best weeklies in
Georgia, well edited and well printed.
It is presided over by Redwine & Ham.
H. W. J. Ham so well and favorably
known in our midst, has become asso
ciated in its publication and we pre
dict for him permanent prosperity
in this location as we agree with a
great many other men iu Georgia in
saying that Bro. Ham has real merit as
a writer.
A Spriglitly Paper.
Albany Nows.
The Gainesville Eagle is a sprightly
paper and no doubt meets with favor
wherever it circulates. It’s motto is,
Redwine & Hum. Tnis is an attractive
feature about it. Men and women have
sought both red wine and ham so long
that the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary. The good book tells us
to “look not upon the wine when it is
red,” but we are afraid this injunc
tion will be often violated during the
next session of tho press convention.
A Welcome Visitor.
Burlington Hawkeye.
The Gainesville, Georgia, Eagle is a
welcome weekly visitor at the Hawkeye
table. Jones is still in the connection,
though Ham, the paragraphist, having
left his Cincinnati Breakfast Table
(causing its death!) has tuken a promi
nent place with jßedwinc'on the Eagle,
which, we suppose, leaves . Jones to
supply the staff for the new combina
tion. 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
Wide Awake.
Cuthbert Southron.
We take pleasure in calling the at
tention of our readers to the advertise
ment of the Eagle in this issue. The
Eagle carries 32 columns, 'and its gen
eral make up shows it to be a wide
awake “bird of freedom” and nothing
of interest escapes its watchful eyes. It
clinches its sharp claws through the
radical party with unrelenting fury, and
hashes up the current events of the day
in a style relishedibyjeverybody.
The Eagle is now fed by Eedwine &
Ham, and its screams attract the in
habitants of this “land of the free
and the home of the brave.” It can
be had three months for fifty cents.

In the line of PARASOLS I defy any merchant south of Mason and Dixon’s Line to show one-half the stock, and to come within
50 per cent, of my prices. Here are a few of my prices—match them who can ! 150 all silk parasols, 30c each, worth 65c; 211 all silk
parasols, 50c each, worth 85c; 300 twilled silk parasols large size, $1 and $1 25 each; Novelties in shell handled parasols, pearl handled
parasols, and celluloid handled paiasols. And remember, if these parasols are not from 50 to 100 per cent, below their value, I will
yield my claim to truthful advertising.
