THE EAGLE.
BY BEDW IX E *. II AM.
Friday Mornimr, October 10, 1879.
E DITORI A L EAG LETS.
The Rev. Dr. D. C. Eddy accepts
the Prohibition nomination for Gov
ernor of Massach asetts.
A correspondent wants to know
what to do when a dog shows signs
of hydrophobia . We should climb
a tree.
The Washington Gazelle remarks:
There is no rest for the office holder
He may wake up any morning and
find an interesting committee sitting
on his front steps.
It is rumored that New York will
soon have a new daily paper, to be
managed by Mr. John Russel Young,
who has been traveling as N Y. Her
ald correspondent with Gen. Grant
in his tour around the world.
Besides being a stout fighter, Cety
wayo appears to be capable of sar-
Should’ have fought,”
he is reported as saying, ‘‘against
such good men as the English, who
intended to take away my country I
and govern it so much better than 1
could. I ask pardon for shooting
back at them.” This is not bad for a
savage.
A dispatch from Rome to the Pall
Mall Gazelle, says: “The Pope has
written an autograph letter to the
Emperor William, summing up the
results of the late negotiations and
suggesting the Emperor's direct in
tervention, in the way of clemency,
as the only way to re-establish bar- ,
mony.” The pope is moderate and j
complaisant in his tone.
The young King of Spain is about
to get married again The revolu
tionists of Spain are again plotting
to drive his Majesty out of his king
dom and set up the republic. The
young Austrian Princess whom the
King is about to make his Queen
would show her prudence by delaying
the wedding till she sees the result
of the Republican plots.
Senator Bruce, chairman of the in
vestigating committee into the Freed
man’s Bank, says when the report is
made there will be startling revela
tions, and that experts find several
of the most important pages of the
ledgers and other books torn out
He thinks the creditors may get 50
per cent, if Congress will buy the
building, but the creditors will not
get more than that.
The return of General Grant and
the obsequious honors paid to him
by republican politicians will proba
bly precipitate the marked division
in the party between his friends and
Sherman’s. They may partially re
press it until after the important
fall elections, but only the positive
and unequivocal declination of one
or the other can prevent its early
breaking out into full blast. Then
we shall see fun.
g According to returns es the Na
tional debt of Great Britain recently
published, the total funded and un
funded debt and capital value of an
nuities on the Ist of April, 1879, was
$3 990,394,200. Some additions have
been made by the South African war.
The National debt of the United
States on the Ist of August, 1879,
(less cash in the Treasury) was $2,-
033,293,600, a little more than half
that of Great Britain.
It is right and best to be honest in
small matters as well as in large. A
few days since, the Secretary of the
Treasury at Washington received
postage stamps to the amount of ten
cents enclosed in an envalope post
marked Philadelphia, with a state
ment to the effect that the sender
many years ago, while at school, had
succeed in erasing the cancellation
mark from one or two stamps which
had been used, and had used them
again. His conscience has just
waked up, and he restores to the
Government the amount ‘ ‘justly due.”
A Richmond paper, speaking of
the indebtedness of the State of Vir
ginia, says:
“The truth is, if Virginia were at
once to repudiate her whole debt, it
would be the most effective means
possible to entice within her border
both capital and labor.” We should
think quite otherwise. It ought to
be enough to warn all honest men,
whether capitalists or laborers, to
keep clear of a State that would
coolly repudiate all its contracts
Honesty is the best policy for men or
States.
Grant is as much a candidate now
as he was in 1868 or in 1872. All
the Ring chiefs and a great number
of leaders in the Republican party
are for him first, last, and all the
time. They have not changed in the
least degree, or abated a jot in devo
tion. Their programme of a section
al crusade has been organized with
reference to Grant. All the plat
forms are manufactured in one
mould, and they bear the impress ol
a preconcerted plan of campaign for
1880, by forcing an issue with tLe
South, and claiming that a man with
an iron grip is demanded in the Exe
cutive office.
OLK ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, Ga., October 8, 1879.
After nearly three weeks spent in
the investigation and discussion of
the articles of impeachment pre
ferred by the house against Treasu
rer Renfroe the trial was concluded
on yesterday and a verdict of not
guilty rendered. While the articles
of impeachment were pending in the
iiouse it was argued by those who
advocated this expensive mode of
adjudication, that the trial would
not consume more than two or three
lays, but the result has shown that
this was a grave mistake. The trial
was not only protracted, but excited
the deepest interest here at the capi
. al, as it did throughout the State.
The house having decided on im
peachment it was natural for those
members who favored this course to
fed a profound interest in the prose
cution and cenviction of the treasu
rer. The failure of conviction would
not only show that they had made a
grave mistake but upon them would
be saddled the whole responsibility.
Hence it was not strange that thtse
and those who sympathized with them,
were zealous and unremitting in
efforts to make good the cLv
ag&lnst the accused/ On the other
hand many of Col. Renfroe’s friends,
and among them several of the most
distinguished citizens of t e State
were equally earnest iu condemning
and protesting against the whole
proceedings. Among the latter class
I was told there are three ex-Gover
nors of this State, quite a number of
•Judges and ex-Judges of ( he Supe
rior courts and many others of dis
tinction. With this array on either
.-ide, it is not strange that the deep
est interest was manifested in the
proceeding of the high court, which
was increased and intensified with
tach succeeding day. The argument
<>f counsel for both the prosecution
and defense was concluded on
Wednesday of last week. On Thurs
day the debate in the senate was
opened and continued through each
succeeding day until yesterday fore
noon. On Monday evenin" it was
generally understood that a vote
would be reached on Tuesday, and
although the morning was inclement,
by 10 o’clock, the hour for tie high
court to convene, the galleries were
I densely packed, while all of the
I available space iu the seriate cham
ber was occupied by members of the
house with here and there a promi
nent citizen admitted through cour
tesy. The last speech was concluded
at 11 30 and the voting commenced.
Fur a day or two previous various
speculations wire allo t as to what
would be the result, but it wasob
i eivcd that hardlv any tw.of the.
knowing ones agreed ;t. their fix
uns, hence all was anxiety to be
j resent at the first roll call. Alter
the vote on the first article na, cot -
eluded and defendant declared ac
quitted of those charges therein,there
aiis an evident fueling of relief <x
perienced by a large portion < f the
crowd, but the iatt rest did ne t set m
to abate until the vote on the lat t
article was concluded and tiietrt us
urer declared acquitted of a.l the
charges.
Thus etitL.d a m-ist remarkable
trial—remarkable in mine th.tn one
respect, but these I wm not attempt
to present or discuss in this letter,
but will at some future time present
the leading facts and features to the
isaibrs of the Eagle with such com
ments as will enable them to utnkr
staud it in ail its btarings.
A vii;. large amount of business
has been transacted by the present
legislature—of the enactments many
I believe io be wise, but some I fear
will prove to be “otherwise.” TL- u
one gt two subjects which in my
judgment are of almost supreme im-
Gitaiee are now likely to be ’
lecied or action upon them de
feu cd. One of these is our cum nun
avLoul system. It is appal ent i
think to every observer that cur
present school system is a failure,
and that radical changes are de
manded to make it a success. A
large number of the members of
both houses agree that important
changes in the system are necessary
and haze labored zealously and as
siduously to have such changes made
as would popularize the system, but
being in the minority it feared but
little if anything can be accom
plished at this session.
It is now thought that a final
adjournment will be reached by the
middle of next week, say the 15th.
Some will insist on the 10th or 11th
and with these you may class your
humble scribe, but the general opin
ion is that it will not be this side of
the 15tu.
Set Back 12 Years.
1 was troubled for many years
with kidney complaint, gravel, etc,
my blood became thin; I was dull
and inactive; could hardly crawl
about; was an old worn out man all
over; could get nothing to help me;
until I got Hop Bitters, and now I
am a boy again. My blood and kid
neys are all right, and I am as active
as a man of 30, although I am 72,
and I have no doubt it will do as
well for others of my age. It is
worth a trial.
There can be no better help
against our own sins than to help
our neighbor in the encounter with
his.
CURR EK T < )PIA ION.
Sentimental Gusli.
Savauuah liecoraer.
We cannot sit still as an editor
and see the Georgia legislature
charged with injustice in the dis
charge es its high and sacred duties.
Wo presume the sentiment of certain
writers, that Goldsmith, Renfroe,
Nelms, Murp’ l y and Janes are mar
tyrs, terribly persecuted men. The
people of Georgia think altogether
different. The man who jumps into
the river to-day to save a drowning
person, deserves credit for the act;
but if he liberately kills a man to
morrow, he should be hung.
Not Crushed Yet.
New York Suu.
“1 desire my remains shall rest in
Cuban soil,” writes Maximo Gomez,
for a time the Commauder-in-Chief
of the forces of Free Cuba, during
the late inburrectiou. Gen. Gomez
intimates that he intends to take an
active part in the renewed struggle
iu the island. Other men who were
conspicuous in the former conflict ap
pear to be animated by a like deter
mination. Altogether the prospects
for the Spaniards in Cuba are gloomy
and Purio Welsh and the other slave
holders may well feel anxious about
their human chattels.
What Went 1 PI: s Hips Says.
New York Sun.
But Mr. Phillips manifestly sup
sies that the dissolution of the re
publican party is { much nearest
hand. In his opinion it has Jost vu’e,
right to live It is no longer true to
itself; it has no principle; it is held
together solely by plunder and pros
pect of plunder. He feels in every
fibre the deadly shame of the great
crime of 1876, and ne cries out
in disgust that even the negro knows
Hayes “only as a fraud.” “The re
publican party to-day,” he says, “is
inspired and ruled by the money
power and lives but for one purpose
—to serve that.”
Soutlici-i Republicans.
Columbus Enquirer.
The indications are they will strive
l o reorganize the party in the South
in order to unite in the Grant or
Sherman boom. They base their
Lopes on the independent move
which they have magnified alarming
ly, This will not avail them any
thing, for in 1880 every Southern
State will be carried by democrats.
Some of the so-called independents
are truer democrats than many regu
lars. We be’ieve the vast majority
of the republicans South prefer
Grant and that they will nominate
him in the next convention for presi
dent without the ability to carry a
single State for him.
Hiot Enaugh Salary.
Washington Gazette.
It is clearly evident to all thinking
men that the salaries of the high
officials generally in Georgia, are too
small to be compatible with the dig
nity of the offices. A man to serve
the interests of the public with cved-
<to himself and acceptably to the
people, should be well enough paid
to relievo him of all embarrassment
financially in supporting his family
in amr -uer becoming his position.
Such salaries as wouM secure the
best talent in the State should be
tl a remuneration offered for it. We
do not approve of such salaries as
only r'ch men, who have other means
of living, can afford to accept. The
reduction in the new constitution to
one feature that detracts from it.
The remedy should be resorted to,
notwithstanding the trouble it might
incur.
Tile Horse Ahead.
New York Suu.
The Milk River massacre gives an
opportunity to compare the speed of
a man with that of a horse, at long
distance. Rankin, the scout who
took the news of the place of ambush
to Rawlins, made the distance, 160
miles, on horseback, in twenty-four
hours. He probably had anything
but smooth country through which
to ride. Whether he was able to
change horses does not appear. Life
< death to the little band who were
entrenched, depended on his speed,
and he doubtless did his best. Row
ell, the winner of the Astley belt,
made last week, on a smooth track
and under the most favorable circum
stances, just 127 miles in the same
time. Hpzael, in the Lindon maten,
ran 137 miles in twenty-four hours,
and in the velocipede contest last
spring the elder De Noielle, rode 217
miles in twenty-four hours.
Tlie Centennial Wave.
Talbotton Standard.
The Centennial wave which set in
on the American continent in 1876 is
still rising, and every few months it
readies a historic point that this
genera* ; on never fails to mark. On
the 23d inst the New Yorkers cele
brated the Commodor i Paul Jones
centennial. Early in next mouth our
Savannah friends will celebrate the
Sergeant Jasper centennial. Then
will follow the Yorktown centennial
in Virginia, which in turn will be
followed by the King Mountain cele
bration in North Carolina. There
v j events in the life of our own
country that are full of interest to us
all and they should not be over
>oked or neglected because of pres
ent pressure, or the liveliest remem
brance of great occurrences within
our own time. Eighty-five years
hence there may be more centennial
celebrations, and deeds that are now
denounced by one-half the country
and applauded with bated breath by
many in the other half, may be the
themes of orators surpassing in elo
quence any who have yet appeared
A four year old child happened to
be lying beside the track iu Hartford,
the other day, when a peach train
came along. Had it raised its head
it would have been struck. The
little child lay perfectly still uu.il

A colored man appeal ed before a
magistrate, charged with some trivial
offerse. The latter said to the man:
“You can go now; but let me warn
you never to appear here again.”
The man replied, with a broad grin:

constable fotch me.”
