THE EAGLE.
BY IEI)W 15E Jt H AM.
I’riday , Morn in?, June 20, 1870,
I DITORI A L EAGLETS.
Next month when the legislature
meets, the ball will open for the
Georgia campaign of 1880.
Give the general government pow
er to control elections in this country
and civil liberty will sing its death
song.
Liberty county will petition the
next legislature for authority to levy
a license tax of SI,OOO upon every re
tail liquor shop in her limits.
You may just mark it down in your
book that if Tom Ewing carries Ohio
he will want to have something to
say about Presidential nominations
next year.
Geo. Alfred Townsend is of the
opinion that Gen. Ewing stands an
elegant chance of carrying Ohio, and
George Alfred sometimes stumbles on
the truth.
Gov. Tom Young, of Ohio. Repre
sentative from Ohio wants to inquire
into the negro exodus. A thousand
democratic negros in Tom’s district
would stir things up mightily.
We hear a great deal of “Northern
civilization” and Southern “Planta
tion manners,” but, somehow, thero
are very few of our daughters run
ning off with coachmen and negroes 1
It is a little singular that the only
objection to Gov. Colquitt should
grow out of his Christian character.
Why don’t somebody attack his ad
ministration on its merits or demer
its ?
The Hartwell Sun declares that
any Hart county farmer who will use
economy, keep out of debt and work
live days in the week can get rich.
The same may be said of many other
counties besides Hart.
Mr. Bayard’s presidential aspira
tions are taking on some heavy
weights. A few more such actions
as his late course on the Warner sil
ver bill will put an air brake on the
Senators upward flight.
Secretary Sherman is said to have
remarked that the “did not believe
the Ohio democracy * would nomi
nate so decent a ticket.” The Secre
tary will meet several more astonish
ments before tho procession dis
bands.
Blaine is said to be preparing a
speech on the Southern democracy
aB “Ilepudiators and robbers.’’ We
hopo that our Ben will load his old
oratorical fusee and lay in the cor
ner of the fence until Mulligan’s man
comes by.
This government is the result of
the determination of a people to be
free. And yet we are told by the re
publican party that the government
has the power to do the very thing a
rebellion against which, made it
vhat it is.
If McCrary is confirmed as a judge
of the United States Court, Hayes
will probably nominate Murat Hal
stead in his place, as secretary of
war. We do not know what sort of
a secretary of war Murat might make
but he can tell as dirty a yarn and
laugh as hearty at it, as any man in
the west.

New York has had another myste
rious murder, much on the order of
the Nathan homicide which created
such a wide spread consternation a
few years ago. Mrs. Hull a wealthy
lady was found dead in her room
with her limbs securely pinioned to
the four corners of the bed. The
doctors say she was smothered. No
clue.
The so called Independent papers
of the state talk glibly enough about
“ring rule,” but it is a noticable fact,
that everyone of them have some es
pecial political god and sneeze vig
orously whenever he dips his digits
in pulverized tobacco. A fig for
such independence—an independence
that makes one man the mere dog to
do anothers barking.
The euology of Bob Ingersoll over
his dead brother was a beautiful
piece of composition, but it betrays
throughout the want of solidity
about Bob’s faith. It iS vague, i-est
less groping in the dark, pathetic
panting for the unknown. He said:
“In the night of death, hope sees a
star, and listening love can hear the
rustle of a wing.” If Bob is honest
in his professed belief, what does he
“hope’’ for, or whose wing does he
hear rustle ?
In the case of Samuel Hill for the
killing of Simmons which has been
on trial in Fulton Superior Court
for the last ten days, the jury on
Tuesday evening brought in a verdict
of guilty of murder, and recommen
ded the imprisonment of the accused
for life. The verdict was quite a sur
prise to many who believed that Hill
would be acquitted, but as the de.
fence failed to show that Simmons
was responsible for the defections of
Mrs. Hill from the line of moral rec
titude, and the testimony goes to
show that he was merely one of the
several who shared her sin, the
verdict is regarded as a righteous
Republic or Nation.
The Cincinnati Post, at one time
claiming to be an independent paper,
has become to be of late a rabidly
stalwart sheet, and aspires to out-
Herod Herod in that line. We know
the editor of the Post, aud if he can
spare the time we would like to draw
him across the alley for half an hour
and discuss a matter or two with him
over a couple of schooners of Ken
singer’s best.
The Post, in all its discussions of
the politics of th's country, clings to
the fallacy that these United States
of America are a nation. Their very
name, the title adopted by the fathers,
proves the fallacy of the idea. What
is a nation ? It is defined to be “a
body of people inhabiting the same
country, or united under the same
sovereign or government.” What is
a republic ? Definition: “a common
wealth ; a state in which the exercise
of the sovereign power is lodged in
representatives elected by the people.”
Such is the authoritative definitions
of the two terms. Now, let us see
which of these terms or definitions
best fit the government under which
we live.
This is a union of Stales, each sov
ereign in the management of its own
affairs, for united benefit and protec
tion. The people are the source of
all power, The President, the Con
gress, every branch of the govern
ment, are selected from among the
people by the people, and whatever
powers they may have by virtae of
the offices they may hold, are derived
directly from them. The creature
cannot become greater than the crea
tor. It can have no power that the
creator does not give it. If these
things are true, then this must be a
republic.
But what of a nation ? A nation
must of necessity have a government
or a sovereign, possessing of and in
him or itself, inherent right and
power independent of the people over
whom he or it exercises its functions,
a system of government that caDnot
be changed save by revolution aud
wiping out of the existing system.
So much for a nation and a repub
lie.
Now to come to a practical ques
tion. When the Post or the Repub
lican party asserts that tho govern
ment has the right to regulate the
mode and manner of the election of
the Representatives to Congress, and
President aud Vice President, it is to
say in < ffVct that the creature hag
power to sity to the creator how it
should be formed. It is the clay say
ing to the potter, thus and thus shall
Ibe f tsuioned. Concede this, and
you give to th- party who happens to
h ive control in this government, the
power to perpetuate its rule indefi
u.tely, thereby losing forever that
dearest right of a freeman to redrtrs
grievances by changing the men who
administer public affairs.
The people are the sovereigns.
How ridiculous it is for their agents
to usurp authority to say to them,
you shall or shall not do thus and -o,
we will put troops at the pods and
will see to ic that our behests are
obeyed. Will our talented friend of
the Post pretend for one moment to
argue that this can be a laud of
Ll-erty if these things be? Let us
see if he will.
Congress the past Week.
On last Thursday the committee
on prileges and elections continued
the examination of witnesses in the
Spofford Kellogg case.
Senator Blaine made a lama at
tempt at a reply to Senator Hill's le
cent speech.
Nothing of any importance was
done on Friday.
Ou Saturday the army appropria
tion bill was reported back from the
commiitee ou appropriations with
sundry amendments and placed ou
the calendar.
Ou Monday little of any public im
port was done. Several small or lo
cal bills were discussed. The only
business of note was the passage by
the Senate of the supplemental ju
dicial appropriation bill with the
amendments thereto.
On Tuesday the army appropria
tion bill was taken up. The commit
tee amendment providing that mem
bers ot the next two graduating
classes at West Point may receive
$750 on completion of their studies
and return home for two years was
stricken out, as were also all clauses
forbidding promotion in any branch
es of the army. A long debate then
ensued with reference to the meaning
and object of that clause of the fifth
section concerning the use of the
army “for police purposes to keep
peace at the polls.” A vote was not
reached.
Wednesday the Senate proceedings
were enlivened by a tilt between Sen
ators Lamar and Conkliag in which
some very personal and ugly lan
guage was used. The Senate was
fillibustering all night up to 2a. m.,
on the army appropriation bill, the
republican Senators absenting them
selves to prevent a quorum.
In the house the same tactics were
resorted to by the republicans to
prevent action on the bill prohibit
ing political assessments from gover
ment oflicials. Nothing of any im
portance was done.
Congress has not adjourned and
probably will not before the last of
next week, but Congressmen are re
ported to be leaving Washington all
the Mine.
The Lunatic Asylum.
A recent letter from Dr. Thomas
O. Powell, Superintendent of the
State Lunatic Asylum, to the editor
of the Albany News has very oppor
tunely directed public attention to
tho absolute necessity for some addi
tional ac. omedations for the unfor
tunate class of humanity who are de
pendent upon this grand charity of
the State. Year after year the gen
eral assembly have found it necessa
ry to add to it, until it is now an im
mense institution, and yet it is found
insufficient. Dr. Powell states that
the capacity of the institution is only
about seven hundred and that there
are now nearly eight hundred pati
ents crowded into it. To accommo
date these the hells and porticos
have been encroached upon, and the
result is a fearfully overcrowded con
dition.
We say that this letter and state
ment of facts have come at an oppor
tune time, for the reason that the
legislature will soon meet and the
necessities of this unfortunate class
of humanity must be pre\ ided for.
Not only is the institution over
crowded but in many counties of the
State lunatics and insane persons are
held in the jails, because it is dan
gerous to allow them to go at large,
and yet the asylum cannot receive
them.
We hope the coming session will
take the matter in hand and act on
and in this connection, we have a
suggestion to offer. Why should
there not be a separate institution
built for the reception of certain
classes of patients who are not in
sane and therefore do not require
the same treatment ? The late Dr.
Green to whom more than any other
man the people of the State is indebt
ed for this grand charity, that does
them so much honor, has often spok
en to the writer upon this subject and
bitterly deplored the fact that embe
cilesand inebriates and idiots, and
many other classes were all crowded
into the one institution. It was his
pet ambition for many years before
his death to secure a proper classifi
cation of these unfortunate creatures
and even in the institution he did so
as far as his facility 3 and space
would allow. We hardly think it
necessary to argue the wisdom of Dr.
Green’s idea.-
Now if this is to be done and
sooner or later it must be, why
should there not be as we have said
an ontirely separate institution ?
We think there should, and we think
it should be located in Northern
Georgia. Gainesville, we opine, will
offer superior advantages to almost
any other place in the State. Our
far famed climate, water and extreme
healthfulness are all powerful argu
ments in favor of such a choice. We
are already the Queen • City of the
Mountains, and our course is up
ward and onward. Let the legisla
ture take hold of the matter and
give it that consideration which the
importance of the case demands.
We shall have more to say on this
subject anon.
Lynch Law.
On last Tuesday a man named
Moore of Welford, S C , was taken
from the custody of the sheriff and
hanged.
The particulars are about as fol
lows :On Thursday,June s,while Miss
Woodward was on her way from
Pickens county to the house of a rel
ative, she had occasion to call at the
house of John Moore, a man of noto
riously bad character, (which was to
tally unknown to her), making in
quiries as to the route to the house
of her uncle. Dinner being ready
she was invited to dinner which she
accepted and paid for. As she was
ready to resume her journey, Moore
proposed to show her the nearest
way to the road to her relative’s
house. She told him that it was un
necessary, as she was able to find the
way, but he accompanied her never
theless. Shortly after he was seen
in a terrible state of excitement. On
Sunday the body was found within
one hundred yards of where Moore
acknowledged to have left her. A
coroners jury was summoned and
evidence sufficient to cause the arrest
of Moore was produced. He was
tried and committed to jail. On
L’uesday night he was taken from
jail by a crowd of men taken to the
scene of his crime near the Air-Line
railroad and hanged at eight o’clock
on Wednesday morning. He pro
tested his innocence to the last.
From Middle Georgia.
From a correspondent in Middle
Georgia we received a racy commu
nication just too late for our last
issue, and as most of the facts are too
stale for this number, we have re
gretfully been forced to content our
selves with the following extract on
subjects of general interest:
* * * “The Eagle in its
ilight came safely to hand, and was
a most welcome visitor. The subject
of enlarging the lunatic asylum by an
act of the General Assembly, appro
priating the necessary fuuds to do so
with, is being discussed by some,
whilst others are in favor of building
a second institution of this kind, to
be located in North Georgia. I am
a little surprised that you have no
one amoDg you to speak out in favor
of Gainesville, the most suitable point
in North Georgia for such an institu
tion. ‘A little more brick and mor
tar, Capt. Ham,’ would not hurt youc
gem of the moan tains,”

Rather a novel case has arisen ju a
