Some of cnr neighboring joirnal
ists, und several hundred admiring
subscribers rre much exercised be
cause we have dropped our original
joke column on our fiist page. To
the a. s., we will say that the weath

thing, and promise revival at the end
of the summer so’stice, and to the n
j. we recommend that they take
satisfaction out of our loop’ columns
as usual.
Oa last Monday the committee of
thirteen appointed to investigate the
charges against the Comptroller
General made a report reccommend
ing the impeachment of that officer,
and submitting seventeen articles
upon which to found the same. The
judiciary committee will proceed at
once to prepaie the necessary papers,
and the case will then go to the sen
ate. We wjII publish the report of
the committee next week.

The Augusta Chronicle would not
advise any poor man to apply for the
English mission. Rather go to cc i
gress, if possible. If you are a rogue
you can make money there. If Lon
est and prudent you can save it.
Mr. Stephens, though a bachelor, is
often behind hand, as he lives liberal
ly> gives profusely and is preyed
upon constantly. But there are mar
ried congressmen who save more than
$4,000 a jear, and live sufficiently
high besides.
The Atlanta Constitution prints the
following, and as it has no credit at
tached we must suppose that it is
original: “A schoolmistress in a
neighboring township, who had long
been annoyed by the perversities of a
male pupil 19 years old,on one of the
closing days of last term kept him in
*ud undertook to whale him. He
however, disarmed her, and retained
several kisses for each blow. The
schoolmistress, unable to forgive
tirs breath of discipline, looked at
him sternly in the face, and, shaking
her forefinger at him in a menacing
manner, said solemnly; ‘ William I
will give you precisely fifteen min
utes to stop hugg.ng me; and if you
disobey me I shall punish you very
severely.”
A New Feature.
The announcement of oar Septem
ber trade review appears elsewhere,
aid we desire to cell the attention of
our advertising patrons thereto, and
beg their indulgence while we state
some facts in connection with this is
sue.
None better appreciate than pub
lishers themselves the value of news
paper advertising. Hence we never
lose an opportunity of putting our
paper in the hands of those ftom
whom we can bring patronage. An is
sue such as our trade review number
will be of great value to us, and we
propose to allow our friends to share
in the benefits which we hope to re
ceive from it
Gainesville is the centre, commer
cially, at least of North-east Georgia
She ought to, and does, control the
trade of this section, but she has
never reached and covered a 1 ! the
territory she ought to occupy. She
ought to be in fact, as well ss name,
the “Queen City of the Mountains,”
and a properly supported, and en
terprising press can do more to give
her this enviable position than any
other one agency. For ourselves we
propose to do our full duty in making
known to people abroad our advanta
ges and resources, nor do wj propose
that this thing shall be “done ’a a
corner,” but that it may be pro
claimed from the house tops and the
sound thereof ride upon every
mountain breeze.
To this end our issue of September
19th will be a notable paper. It will
not I e confined to regular subscri
bers but the issue will certainly
reach 5,000 copies, and as many
more as may be found necessary to
supply the demand. It will contain
a history of the counties, county
towns, mines, manufactures’ and in
dustrial interests of this entire sec
tio Every post master of every
post office in North-east Georgia will
be requested to furnish a list of eve
ry man who reeieves his mail at his
office. We shall print enough pa
pers to send a copy to every name so
received, and thus our arrangements
will be perfected for putting every
paper in the hands of some intelli
gent citizen.
The history of Gainesville and
Hc’l county will be given in extenso.
The mines will be written up by com
petent parties, the summer resorts
will be duly noted, our manufactures
vater powers and generel resources
a ill be so set forth as to attract the
attention of people at a distance, and
no pains or expense v 'll be spared to
make everything accurate, complete
and reliable. All our sister towns
wi*l have ample justice done to
them.
Our beaut? ul little city will re
ceive a liberal share of attention.
Her educaf "one I institut'ons,chu rcues,
street railroad, manufacturing estab
lishments, societies, orders, merceu
l le bouses, hotels, fire departments,
> 1 will be duly noted, so that those
at a distance who know nothing of
us may get a correct idea of what we
are. To all this will be added a com
plete statement of her commercial
business, which we shall compile
from statements, which we hope our
mercantile friends will furnish us,
for the last twelve months past.
This will be a specially interesting
feature for the reason that we pur
pose to continue it 'rom year to year
and thus be enabled to note the pro
gress we have made. For these fig
ures we will have to rely upon our
friends who are iu business, and we
hope they will be cheerfully given.
It is hardly necessary for us to
say that the issue wi’l entai l upon us
a heavy expense. We have do doubt
however that our i.lends will appre
ciate the immense advantage to be
reaped from advertising in this num
ber, and that they nil' not fail to
avail themselves of it. AH regular
advertising contracts inserted before
riu this issue lor one month or
■0 g?r w.ll b j taken at regala- rates.
Advei Hsements f ?r this number alone
will be charged double our regular
transient rates.
A Word with our Patrons.
In another column to-day will be
found a notice sufficiently prominent
in itself to attract attention, but we
desire to sit down and have a little
quiet confidential talk with our sub
scribers which would perhaps be a
little too lengthy to embody in the
little straight-braced perpendicular
business statement to which we al
lude. Spare us a brief moment good
natured patron while we casually
state a few facts.
For twelve or fifteen years regu
larly once a week we have issued the
Eagle. It has been a regular and,
we trust, a wecome visitor to hun
dreds, aye we may say thousands, of
homos. We have tried to make it
interesting and worth the subscrip
tion price. Times have been hard,
and money has been scarce, We
have not been over rigid in our rules
about Cash, and where we have re
garded a man as good we have sent
the paper on from year to year, and
allowed our patrons to pay as suited
their convenience. Many of them
have fallen behind year after year,
but paid a little along as they could.
In all the great number, however,
who have been our patrons in that
time, there are quite a number who
have fallen away behind. We have
carried them on year after year
hoping for better times, until we find
it is impossible for us, in justice to
ourselves, to longer continue to bear
this burden. A recent posting
up of our books show that there is
now over $5,000 due ue on subscrip
tions, and the publishers find them
selves with this enormous amount of
money actually out of pocket, and
our debtors scattered over a vast
territory, many of whom we can
never hope to see, or* collect from.
Hence, it will be almost a total loss
This has convinced us, as it has
many a publisher before,that the only
safe and business basis on which to
publish a newspaper is “Cash in ad
vance.” The man who subscribes,
and pays in advance for a year risks
only two dollars. If we send our pa
per on credit to fifteen hundred sub
scribers we risk $3,000. If anything
goes wrong with the paper our two
dollar subscriber knows exactly where
to find us. If our fifteen hundred
subscribers do not pay up it is a mor
al impossibility for us to go out and
hunt them up. We can only bear our
losses as best we may and so ends the
matter.
Another view; Labor, rents, paper
postage and the hundred and one
expenses of a must be
met with cash. We are obliged to
pay whether we take in or not,
and tfcie result of the credit system
has been that we pay out all the
money which our prompt paying
subscribers pay in, for actual expen
ses, and what ought to be the profits
of the business, the pay of the hard
worked publishers and editors re
mains in the pockets of the delin
quents. If the publishers of the
Eagle had to day the five thousand
dollars which they have justly earned
it would lift a load from tired shoul
ders, and nerve weary arms in a
wonderful degree.
So gentle reader we have decided
to turn over a new leaf. We hate to
lose a single subscriber. We have
labored for them, striven to interest
them, endeavored to promote their
interests, until we feel like every
man on our list is a personal friend.
We dislike to lose one, but as be
tween sentiment and self-preserva
tion, sentiment always goes to the
wa 1. We mean just what we say in
the notice elsewhere. If you are in
arrears and desire to continue the
paper make arrangements at once to
settle old scores and pay something
in advance. Do not put it off and
then blame us when your pap r ie
stopped. If you do not want the
paper we would be glad to have you
say so. If you do, pay up what you
owe, and something in advance, that
we may be enabled to give you an
interesting paper.
We beg your pardon friendly sub
scriber for ha. ng detained you so
long, but we felt this explanation
was due you, and have made it. If
we have made you see our needs, and
justified the course we intend to
pursue it is well. If we have rot we
cannot help it. Ta ta.
Mr. Stephens’ Speech.
We have little apology to offer for
consuming so much of our space
with this document which appears
upon our first page to day. It was
delivered before the legislatuie last
week by request, and is such a clear,
logical and forcible presentation of
not only the peculiar issues involved
in the recent extra session of con
gress, but the deeper and more ab
sorbing question of financial relief
for the country, that we feel could
do our readers no greater favor than
to pi-int it entire. It is a document
well worth studying by every man
who desires to understand the great
issues, that go to make up present
American politics.
Mr. Stephens devotes the first part
of his speech to a capitulation of the
causes that led to the recent extra
session. He shows clearly the pur
pose of the republican party to cen
tralize power in the government that
they may be enabled to indefinitely,
prolong their lease upon the man
agement of the affairs of the country.
He clearly states the position of
the democracy, a free government
by a free people, as contradistin
guished from the centralization theo
ory of the republicans and declares
that upon the issue thus made up he
is ready and willing to go to the
country.
Turning from this he proceeds
to take up and discuss in de
tail the financial condition of the
country, and shows the ruinous ef
fect of the so-called resumption upon
the industries cf the republic. He
cleaily demonstrates that the need
of the country is a currency of suffi
cient volume for the actual business
needs of its citizens. We cannot at
tempt to synopsize it. It must be
read in full to be appreciated, and
and we may be pardoned for saying
just here that it is the views which
the Eagle has held and persistently
advocated for years. We advise our
readers to givs it a careful perusal.

OUR ATLANTA LETTER. '
The Impeachment of the Comptroller-
Railroad Preifchts and Tariffs—The I
The Judicial Divisions Bill—Defeat of .
the Bell Pnneh—Usury Law, Ete<
[Editorial Correspondence of Eagle.]
Atlanta, August 6, 1879.
As you have learned ere this the spe
cial committee of thirteen appointed
by the House of Representatives to
investigate the Comptroller General’s
office made their report on Monday.
The majority of the committee in
their report charge Mr. Goldsmith
with various and sundry high crimes
and misdemeanors for malpractice
and malfeasance in office, and asked
that he be impeached on a number of
counts. The minority of the com
mittee, while agreeing with the ma
jority in some of their conclusions,
differed with them widely in others.
Both reports were referred to the
committee on the judiciary, with in
structions to report to the house,
formal articles of impeachment.
A committee was appointed to
give the senate formal notice of
the action of the house, and that in
due time articles of impeachment
would be preferred against Mr. Gold
smith, and requesting that body to
take such action in the premises an
the gravity of the charges demanded.
The judiciary committee have not
yet reported, but it is understood
it will do so in a few days. To-day
seven managers were elected by the
house: to-wit, Turner of Brooks,
Hammond of Thomas, Davis of Hous
ton, Phillips of Cobb, Polhill of Jef
ferson, Pike of Jackson, and Adams
of Chatham, to conduct the prosecu
tion before the senate. As you are
aware, in the trial of impeachments
the senate sit as a jury, presided over
by the chief justice of the supreme
court of the State. It will probably
be several days before the trial will be
gin and before we will know as to the
specific charges to be made. The air is
thick with rumors pro and con, but
as the trial will be before the highest
tribunal known to thefconstitution and
laws of the State, where all the facts
will be brought out and the truth
known, I think it but fair as well as
prudent to withhold comment until
full developments are made. Os one
thing the people may be assured, that
is that there will be no whitewashing
by this Legislature, but that the
truth will be made manifest in due
time.
After the most careful and thought
ful consideration, the committee on
railroads reported on Monday a bill
to regulate railroad freight and pas
senger tariffs in this State, to pre
vent unjust discrimination and ex
tortion in the rates charged for
transportation of passengers and
freights end to prevent railroad com
panies, corporations and lessees in
this State from charging other than
just and reasonable rates, to punish
the same and prescribe a mode of
procaedure and rules of evidence in
relation thereto; and to appoint
commissioners and to prescribe their
powers end duties iu relation to the
same. This is a very important
measure to the people of this State
and has been matured after a most
careful survey of the whole field of
this most intricate and difficult sub
ject.
Numerous bills were prepared by
1 the committee before a plan was de
vised acceptable to a majoiity. Af
ter various efforts in that direction
it was believed to be impossible to
draft a bill that would fit the vari
ous and constantly changing condi
tion of thee 6 corporations, and hence
it was decided to report a bill pre
scribing some general rule for their
government and prohibiting unjust
discriminations then providing
for the appointment of a commission
er with authority under the law,so
i preseribe rules and regulations for
the proper control of all railroads
which rules may be changed to suit
the constantly changing ciroums' an
-1 ces of the roads. Under all the cir
-1 cumstances I believe the general
features of the bill to be the wirest
that can be devised.
The bill to form judicial divisions,
by Mr. Harrison, of Stewart, meets
with favor. It groups the circuits as
follows:
That the first judicial division shall
be composed of the Eastern, Middle
and Brunswick circuits.
The second division of the Albany,
Southern and Oconee circuits.
The third division of the Pataula,
Southwestern and Chattahoochee
circuits.
The fourth division of the Macon,
Flint and Ocmulgee circuits,
The fifth division of the Augusta,
Northern and Western circuits.
The sixth division of the Atlanta
and Coweta circuits.
The seventh division of the Chero
kee, Rome and Blue Ridge circuits.
The circuits thus grouped make
the work in the divisions nearly
equal, and thus the labor of the
Judges will be equalized. It will re
move a Judge away from home in
fluences most of his time, dispense
with a Judge pro hoc vice and will
enable parties to disposes of cases
wherein the Judges are from any
cause disqualified. It purifies the
judiciaiy and will remove many
prejudices now entertained toward
the ot cupants of the bench. Tte
bi’l gives our ditision into the hands
of Judges Erwin, Pottle and Sneed,
who will hold cur courts alternately
shouxd the bill become a law.
On last Saturday the bell punch
bill came up, and a» I predicted waa
defeated by a very large majority.
On yesterday evening there was
a most animated discussion by the
finance committee on a bill intro
duced by by your representative to
amend the usury law and reduce the
legal rate of interest. Without final
action the bill was made the special |
order for this evening, when a lively
debate is expected.
Be, Wise and Ilsppy.
If you will stop all your extravagant and
wrong notions in doctoring yourself and
family with expensive doctors or humbug
cure-alls, that do harm always, and use
only natuso’s simple remedies for all your
ailments—you will be wise, well and happy,
and save great expense. The greatest rem
edy for this, the great, wise and good will
tell you, is Hop Bitters—rely on it. See
