the eagle, by He D WINE It- ham* I'rhlay Morning, .July 25, 1871). EDITORIAL tE AG LETS. The watch of Napolean Bonoparte is now in the hands of a Zulu. Judge Hillyer has refused to grant anew trial to Sam Hill. The case goes to the Supreme Court. There seems no that doubt Mem phis is to undergo all the horrors of the yollow fever scourge from now until frost, The editor of the Griffin News ‘ ‘knows that the people of Georgia are determined to re-elect Gov. Col quitt to his present position in 18 80.” With her murders and fires end her increasing tribe of gubernatorial aspirants, Macon is having as lively a time as a country boy at his first frolic. Bro. Orme, of the Savannah Recor der, has a labored article on “Moral Back Bone.” Tfc is to be hoped that it is not as scarce as he would have us believe. The next election will take place on the fourth of August, in Ken tucky. Dr. Luke P. Blackburn, the Democratic nominee, will be elected by a good solid majority. Tho dome of the Capitol at Wash ington is made of iron, and weighs four thousand tons, or eight million pounds. Its foundations are said to bo adequate to a much heavier pres sure. Wo are never in a hurry with our condemnation. It is an unpleasant duty, and we always put it off until wo are thoroughly satisfied there is cause for it. Let justice bo done though the hoavons fall. A bill to build another institution for certain classes of pationts now confined in tho Lunatic Asylum, and providing for its location at Gaines ville has boon introduced in tho house by Dr. Kidon of Forsyth. Put a pencil betweeii tho thumb and forefinger of an uninformed and billions man, and you put him in a position to render himsolf ridiculous. This is a truism which couid bo veri fied by numerous references. Atlanta, never without her sensa tion, has had a most toothsome one during the last week in the attempt, as charged, by one of her citizens, to bribo two members of tho Legisla ture. Wo allude to the matter more in detail elsewhere. It is singular liow ready some journalists are to impugn the motives of others. Those who crow most over the want of virtue in others,sub ject thomselves to a doubt as to whether it is not done as a cloak for their own shortcomings. “My Gradfathers Clock" has been superseded by “My Grandmothers Churn,” a copy of which, through the kindness of Messrs. Carroll &Cos., of Cincinnati, is on our table. Tis said tho butter stopped short never to como again when the old cow died. Religion is not a belligerent sort of thing and therefore fair game for small souled people to sneer at. It will boa living, comforting princi ple however, when the dog fennel grows green above the spot where its enemies dust mingled with its moth er. A distinguished physician states that sick headache can generally be relieved by soaking the feet in warm water in which a spoonful of powder ed mustard has been stirred, Soak as long as possible or until the water grows cool. It draws the blood from tho head. Representive Green, from Baldwin in a communication to the Constitu tion charges a misstatement ot tact in our last weeks letter from Atlanta. Wo are sure our correspondent had no desire to misrepresent anybody, the moro especially as it is corrected in our Atlanta letter this week. Tuvoectivo, abuse, inuendo and wholesale denunciation are very poor stock in trade for a newspaper, and the editor who has nothing else ought to go out and scrub the mange of jealousy from his callous hide and hire a stomach pump long enough to hoist the bile out of his festering car cass. The Monroe Advertiser says tho Legislature will probably not adjourn before September, as tho members from down tho country do not care to return home during tho warm weather. Atlanta is a good summer resort, and when a mau gots four dollars per day ho is loath to leave such a place. The people of Kentucky should bear in miud that Henry Clay, of glorious memory, was born in that State. —Deacon /Smith. But ho was not. He was born in Virginia. Has our good Deacon Richard already forgotten tho “Mill boy of the .Slash es Perhaps, howover, he has nev er road the earlier history of this country and hence his ignorance of many other things besides Henry day's place of nativity. The Wild Land Ucpoi t and Mat* tefs Pertaining Thereto. The report of the committee to in vestigate the Wild Land Sales in this State which was made to the General Assembly soon after the opening of the session and to which we briefly alluded to lest week, has caused much discussion. The majority re port of the committee recommend that the entire law and all sales and transfers under it be wiped out, while the minority report recommended that the questions be left open for settlement by the courts. We are clearly of the opinion that the mi nority and not the majority report should be adopted. Georgia cannot afford to pass such sweeping retroa - tive legislation as this majority re port demands. If a mistake has been made we can only repeal, and profit by the experience we have gain ed Both reports acquitt the Comptrol ler General of anj improper action in the matter, but it was found that one of the clerks in his office, Dr. A. J. Bell, had been mixed up very suspi ciously in the transactions Of the other clerks, Messrs. W. A. Wright and Itobt. U. Hardeman, the commit tee made honorable mention as hav ing been entirely free from any sus picion of crookedness. Since the reports have been made however there have been other de velopments which candor compels us to say does not leave the Compfroher in so enviable a position as he before occupied. It seems that he thought the vindication in the committee’s report insufficient, wanted it more broadly and forcibly put, and he therefore prepared a paper conveying what he thought should have been the committee’s report. This was presented to two members of the committee who cheerfully signed it. It was then placed in the hands of a third party Mr. Hinton P. Wright, who approached two other members of the committee and asked them to sign it. Upon their refusal to do so he offered one of them $250 and a suit of clothes, and the other SIOO, for their signatures. They promptly refused and reported the mattter to the chairman of the committee. In the mean time the two gentlemon who had signed tho paper heard of the attempt at bribery, and went at once and took their names off. The committee at once reported the mat ter to the houso, and a resolution was adopted raising a special committee of thirteen to inquire into all the facts connected with attempt at alle ged bribery, and if necessary, to re port articles of impeachment against the Comptroller General. Up to this writing the special committee have not reported. It is but justice to the Comptroller to say that both ho and Mr. Wright deny that he had anything to do with the bribery business. The Comp troller says he knew nothing of it un til ho read it in the papers, aud Mr. Wiight swears that his oiler to the two members of the comm’ttee was without the Comptrollers knowledge or consent. .So the matter now stands. We have no opinion to express in tho matter until those whose business it is to ollicially inquire into the matter shall have submitted their report, and it has been acted upou. We shall give our readers every develop ment, and place our condemnation where it belongs at the proper time. The Late Colonel Jamison of Towns. On last Friday the House of Rep reseutatives hold memorial services in respect to the memory of the late Col. S. Y. Jamison, of Towns, and Col. Itobt. A. Alston, DeKalb, both of whom have passed from earth since last session. At twelve o’clock on that day the committee appointed to draft resolu tions expressive of the feelings of the House, made their report. Some touching and beautiful eulogies were delivered. Hon. John E. Redwine, of Hall, made the following remarks in reference to the late Colonel Jam- ison : Mr. Speaker; I should do violence to my feelings if I failed to say some thing in memory of our deceased col leagues. I cultivated most friendly relations with those gentlemen for several years. Memorial services are alwavs solemn, but on this occasion it strikes me these services are pecu liarly so. It would seem, sir, that nature as if in sympathy with the sad hearts and tearful eyes of this as sembly has spread her dark mantle over Georgia’s capitol at the hour appointed for these services. If we might forget that we too are born to die, her artillery is thundering it in to our ears. As many of the members were much better acquainted with Colonel Alston than Colonel Jamison, and as my acquaintance with him was pro bably better than that of any other member, I propose to speak more particularly of him. I have nothing by which I can give a biography of him. He was raised in the State of Tennessee but came to Georgia in his early boyhood, about the time the Cherkee Indians wero removed from this State and settled on the beautiful and laughing Hiwasee in the north of this State. He soon be came a prominent man, and for forty years was recognized as probably the leading citizen north of the Blue Bidge. He was a mau of stalwart L-htne, well knit, and vigorous mind, but while he possessed this stalwart frame he was not free of that sen tence which is passed on man. It is true he passed his three-score years and ten by several years. Yet he, too had to fall. He was a member of the legislature, after intervals, for sixteen or eighteen years, alternating be tween the house and senate. He was a man of vigorous mind and al ways inclined to be thoughtful and prudent in his actions. His name was frequently mentioned for con gress from that portion, but circum stances intervening and being a mod est man, he never attained to that eminence. He was as true a citizen of Georgia as any she ever had. He was the friend and counsellor of his neighbors when in trouble, and he always took the best course to ac complish the objects he had in view. I say this much, stating at the same time, that the the details of his biog raphy I have not at hand and could not obtain since the passage of the resolutions. Upon the conclusion of the eulo gies many of which brought tears to the eyes of strong men and fair wo men, the resolutions were adopted by a unanimons rising vote, and the house adjourned over to Monday in honor to the memories of her dis tinguished dead. Grant, (Nutting. Jones & Cos. Some years ago it will be remem bered Georgia woke up one fine morning to find that “honest Jack Jones,’’ her trusted treasurer, was some two or three hundred thousand dollars behind. A flurry ensued, Jack was put out, another treasurer was elec ted, and the attorney general was or dered tolcommence suit against J ones and his securities for the amount. After many of the law’s delays the case was finally gotten to a jury some two or three months since, who after consuming a week in hearing the testimony and listening to Ben Hill and other famous counsel brought in a verdict against Jones and his securities for a little over $70,000. The trimming process had reduced $300,000 to this pitiful amount. The ink had hardly gotten dry on the verdict before an advertisement according to the stat ute in such cases made and provided announced that the defendants would apply to the legislature for relief. The bill was introduced a few days since. Such is a fair specimen of our nineteenth century “cheek.” Here are three men who have had their day in court, have had able counsel, have produced all their wit nesses, and when at last a 300,000 dollar claim is trimmed down into a 70,000 dollar judgment, they have the unqualified cheek to come before the legislature and ask to be relieved of even this. Poor Georgia, we hope there are enough men in the legislature who remember that they are her sons, to see to it that this wrong is not done her, If one man were to obtain judgment against another, and the defendant ask the legislature to re lieve him, he would be scouted as a fool. But Georgia, the poor old State that has been plundered and robbed under both republican and democratic administrations is fair game. She can stand it, and there are journals who are advocating that she shall be thus despoiled. We have no desire to do Messrs. Grant and Nutting, nor white haired Jack Jones any injustice, but we fail to see the equities involved in the transaction. If there are any we would not be of those to hamper jus tice by unreasoning clamor, but we do hope that the matter will be set tled just as it would be between two men. The State has all the rights which an individual would have in the premises and we hope to see the legislature scrutinize this matter very closely. The Yellow Scourge. The laßt week has fully demonstra ted the fact that the city of Mem phis, so grievously stricken last year, is again in the jaws of as fearful a pestilence as that which laid waste her fair proportions during the dreadful summer of 1878. Each day has brought an additional number of new eases and hundred of her citi zens hie them away by every train. It is estimated there is not less than one hundred, and quite possibly more than this number, of cases in the ciiy. To this is added the alarm ing fact that there is not provisions enough in the city to feed it for a week, and to the pestilence may be added the horrorrs which starvation brings. The philanthroy of the country may loosen its purse strings as it did so nobly last year and pre pare to contribute to the relief of the distress which is so near at hand. Our Asylum. Our Atlanta letter mentions the introductions of the bill to erect a new asylum in or near our city. We hope the representatives will not al low the matter to sleep. Let the work be pushed and that vigorously. They can do nothing that will confer so much benefit upon this unfortu nate class of people as to bring them up to our bracing climate, and in vigorating atmosphere. This in it self will do more for many of them than any amount of physic adminis tered in a warm and debilitating cli mate. Di li ATLA ST i LETT EH.

Since your last issue this center of sensations has enjoyed a desert in this line as it were in a rumor started some days ago, that two members of the wild land committee who had en 8 a 8 0 d in investigating the wild land department of the comptroller general’s office, had been approached by Mr. Hinton P. Wright and of fered a bribe to sign a paper setting forth that certain portions of the testimony taken by said committee, fully exonerating the comptroller general from any complicity either directly or indirectly in any fraudß or illegal conduct in his department had been omitted in the report of said committee. This rumor as you may imagine created quite a flutter. For several days this was the subject of discussion in political circles and on tho street corners. On Monday a special committee of thirteen was appointed to investigate the matter—the report of the wild land committee as well as the charge* j against Mr. Wright, and for the. present there the matter rests. Co;us ment will be reserved until the coi_\® mittee report and all the facts come out. Up to this time but few bills have been passed, but the leading com mittees have been at work, and in a few days more the work of the pas sage of the few and the slaughter of the many will begin. It looks almost incredible but is nevertheless true that 785 bills have been introduced in the house and read the first time, and thero are probably from 50 to 100 bills in the hands of the committee on local and. special bills which have not yet been reported or read, so you see the leg islative hopper is full and the mill kept grinding for some time to come. Of course the great majority of these will be killed by adverse reports of committees, but it will nevertheless consume time to even read and con sider them in committee. Several important bjhs have been introduced in the house this week, among them one in which the people of Hall county and indeed of the whole up-country are deeply inter ested. I allude to the bill to estab lish a lunatic*, asylum within three miles of Gainesville and to appropri ate monoy for the same. It is clear that additional accommo dations must be provided for this unfortunate class of persons as the asylum at Milledgeville with its. 1 proposed enlargement will be inade-1 quate for that purpose, and besides! in the present overcrowded condition of that institution it is impossible for the officers to properly classify these unfortunates. The measure has many strong friends both in and out of the legislature and I have strong hopes that it will become a law. On yesterday evening the finance committee after careful considera tion and elaborate discussion of the Moffett Bell Punch bill, agreed by a decisive majority to report the same back to the house with a recommen dation that it do not pass. A mo tion will doubtless be made to dis agree to tho report of the committee, but its action will, without doubt be sustained by the house. To-day the dog law came up and after various amendments had been proposed, the whole subjoct was, on motion, indefinitely postponed. So the dogs’ that for some time have be lieved themselves to be in jepordy, can again breathe the air of free dom. Please communicate tho glad some news to Bob, of the Eagle, than whom a truer canine never walked this terrestial ball. The special order for to-day, the report of the committee to investi gate the motives of Gov. Colquitt in placing the States endorsement on the bonds of North-ea'stern Railroad, came up and after discussion was adopted by a largo majority without a division. In the article of your correspon dent from this placo in last weeks Eagle appears this paragraph: Col. Price is here working like a beaver for the North Georgia College. Ido hope the appropriation will *be made to rebuild ic. It is a great in stitution, has done and is doing much good, and ought to be aided iu this its hour of need. Milledgeville would like to have it removed there and has a delegation here in her interest but Ido not think it amounts to much. This does the people of Milledge ville an injustice, which I hasten to correct. While the people of that place are working vigorously for their own school, they are not antagoniz ing the school at Dahlonega, but fa vor that institution also, and I take pleasure in correcting this mistake and setting the good people of that city right before the public. * By the way has Doctor Janes ever appointed that inspector of fertili sers ? Now that the Bureau is all safe he ought to relieve tho anxiety of the hundred or so applicants. General Toombs has gone to tho Virginia White Sulphur springs. Hence he will not bo at Col.
