Fralay Morning. November 21, 1879.
TO OCR SUBSCRIBERS.
Wt> desire to return our sincere thanks to
be large number of our subscribers who
have paid up their subscription to the
Eagle. It has helped ns greatly. There
are yet others however who are in arrears,
and to them we make this last and final ap
peal to pay us the amounts due us. We
have waited with them patiently, until lia
bilities have accumulated which we must
meet. We have postponed the revision oi
our books to January Ist, 1880, and between
now and that time a representative- of the
Eagle will visit the courts of the several
counties in which we circulate, and we
earnestly appeal to our friends to be pre
pared to meet him and square old accounts.
After the first of January we shall strike the
names of those still in arrears and reduce t-o
ast ictly cash in advance basis. Self pres
ervation, the first law of nature impels us
to this course.

Dr. Felton ought by all manner of
means to confine himself to playing
upon his bazoo. He never leaves it to
straddle a quill that he does not give
himself dead away.
What is the politics of the gentle
man to whom Felton wrote his, dec
laration of independence? Indeed it
might be better to come out and state
both who and wb.at he is.
Why is the name of the gentle
man, whom Dr. Felton ; honors with
his epistolary correspondence, sur
passed, and how is it that the letter
first appears in the New York Times.

Whenever you find out the name
of the gentleman to whom Felton
wrote his recent letter, you will
doubtless find that he is a piston rod
or a driving wheel in the Grant boom
machine.

Since the publication of Dr. Fel
ton’s late letter in which he virtual

renewed anxiety is expressed to see
the Rev Doctor’s correspondence
with Senator Ferry during the last
congressional campaign in the sev

On the fifth of last June quinine

though prices of most drugs have
risen, and the price of quinine has
advanced in Europe one shiling, the

This is a vast saving, or ought to be,
to consumers.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, from Syracuse, states positi
vely that a plan for the reorganiza
tion of the democratic party in the
city of New York, and for the recon
ciliationfof its factional elements in
the State at large, was developed
last week, with a reasonable pros
pect of success, and that at a confer
ence of leading Democrats somejdays
ago the plan was agreed upon.
Post-master General Key has final
ly decided that he has power enough
under the United States statutes, to
' prevent the delivery of letters ad
dressed to the managers of lottery
concerns, upon the general ground
that they are schemes “to defraud

will consequently be detained by
j Postmasters and returned to their
i initial addressed through the dead
letter office.
Ex Governor Seymour having been
strongley urged by leading Democra

says it had hoped that Mr. Seymour
might be induced to again lead the

beyond the possibility of question
or doubt, that, for reasons conclusive
to himself, Governor Seymour will
never again appear in .public official
life.
The Coluiibus Enquirer and
Mrr Felton’s Letter. ’
It will be rememberd that during
the last Congressional campaign the
Columbus Enquirer although not an
outspoken Independent journal yet
x t abley supported Dr. Felton in his
ast canvass, and doubtless contri
buted largely to his election. Since
the publication of Dr. Felton’s letter
the Enquirer takes it all back in the
following pointed and patriotic lan
guage which w& commend to the
thoughtful attention of the reader:
“We give it as we find it in the
New York TVmes, which pap»*r heads
it. “The doom of Bourbonism ’’ It
is not what the correspondents ol
some papers intimated; but written
at the time and under the circum
stances under which it was penned,
it very directly gives aid and com'orl
to our bitterest enemies. Foliowing
Ohio and New York, coming from
a man who pretends to represent a
constituency in Georgia, it adds in
sult to injury. It is a foolish letter
for a Georgian to write at any time,
and worse than folly at the pre; ent
time. It is not so bad as some cor
respondents have it, but it is a com
position that no man who loves Geor
gia can approve. True, it corm s af
ter the’elections, but it is equally as
bad in effect as if it had been written
before. For a period at least a
Georgia congressman might ffor I t ■
keep his opinion silent, if be enter
tained such.
We supported to the best of our a
bility Dr. Felton in his last race when
he sadley needed frian Is, b*c use w e
believed tv*u a better democrat than
his opponent. He won. We are
against this letter, which is lie only
anti-democratic utterance we have
heard from our state. The writer is
wholly, unutterably mistaken. Wo
may have differances between degrees
of democracy, but when it comes to
republicanism or democracy, the lat
ter will everwhelmingly triumph. It
has come to this pass that those not
with us are against us. The great
democratic heart of Georgia beats
firm and true to friends and faith and
he is false who pretends it is ot’ r
wise. Dr. Felton falsifi s his slate,
and does not represent a minority
Were Tilden the dem >crat ic nominee,
much as mauy oppose him, Georgia
would vote eu masse f>r him She
would go he ir.ier f-r Biyard I
Dr. Felton or anyone els-’ says si e
will not they know nothing of tin
temper of our people, and are uih- r
b!e representatives of th ir honor or
principles. Georgia is durno.-ra'ie
to the core, as Dr. Fulton Wil’ ii : i
to his cost in the next rsc II s
letter at this opportune oc asi >u hat
killed his political pr »sp;‘t3 and
given a blow to indepeudeutism th;-1
it will not recover. We will hire af
ter chose men we can trust, wl o
will know when to encourage friends
and not dishearten tLern as Di F 1
ton has done. We will cling dost i
around our ow e Wo will no un i e
men who will be true to no cliq te ci
ring, but to the st t ; i o indrpen
dents but honest democrats, who
can say yes and no and ml an it, and
elect them. We must have these
strong natures which inspire confi
dence. The money question is noth
ing in our state. There Dr; Felton
again misrepresents us. The silver
business disturbs the people n t an
iota. They ate content with m nota
ry affairs. The issfi of si v»r has
never been a math r of primary im
portance to our people. In this R p
preren’ative Felton misrepresents ns
In not one single iota except as an
individual can he claim to act for u*
His le ter, coming as it Joes, is a libei
upon the sentiment of cjmmuui’ivs.
He speaks for none but himself, and
this he will be shown by bung allow
e to remain at home after the mxt
Congressional election.
He might have advocated Judge
Davis for president without abusing
southern congressmen and decrying
democracy.
The northern republican j 'uraals
are gloating over the Felton letter
with glee. They claim he will not be
. controlled by the democratic caucus.
Regarding this Dr Felton dots not
speak in his letter but those who hate
us and ours are rejoicing- Georgia
desires no such delegate and will
have none such If Mr Stephens, as
has been intimated by correspon
dents, shares the same opinion and
as freely expresses them, the Augus
ta district is proud enough and in
dependent enough to leave him at
home.
We know of no document written
at such a time as the present, which
will tend more to unite firmly the
regular democracy than this Felton
letter. Georgia cannot afford to
vote for those who so fully misrepre
sent her people as the author of
such sentiments. We would rather
have an open foe than the one who
gives encouragement to the enemy
in the time of p- ril. The Felton
letter invites republicanism to make
any and every advance. Georgians
must rally to the democratic colors
and reject false advisers.
In the face of the enemy no gener
al is to be trusted who ever indirect
ly gives them aid. He who says
Georgia will not vote for any nomi
nee of the national democracy knows
nothing of the temper and feeling of
the people, and if he holds a posi
tion. h s opinions should be at once
repudiated. If there ever was a
time when democracy should be firm
and intact it is now, and the party
can depend always on good old Geor
gia to sustain its true principles and
condemn those who oppose the organ
za tion.

Officious Intermeddling. (
Borne Courier. j
When Dr. Felton voted with the radi

Mr. Stephens was intermeddling where I
he had no business. i

France bas been an extensive purchaser
of a great variety of supplies from this
country, and her remittances are in
gold. This constant, steady influx of
gold and silver into the United States
for a year has had its inevitable effect in
reviving business, and with it, prices,
and much speculation.
VV’iiat of it!
Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer.
The republicans have begun to rear
about Gen. Toombs’ dispatch. Some
of them really howl. It will all do no
good. The south will be abused and
that without stint. Gen. Toombs i»
not a citizen of this country, His disa
bilities have never been removed, be
cause ho has refused to ask to have it
done. He says he has done nothing for
which he should ask pardon. Hence,
when he gives an opinion he does so on
his own responsibility. Perhaps the
general had taken toe much tea when
he forwarded'that telegram, which, by
the way, he claims as having been
garbled.
Cannot Fight Democracy Without Go
ing Over.
Southern Enterprise.
It is impossible for a man to fight de
mocracy either organized or not organ
ized without falling into the ranks of
t the opposition. Dr. Felton stated out
as a democrat, and we
but in his efforts to secure officer'll be
came absolutely necessary for him to
be on friendly terms with all parties op
posed to the democracy and to propi
tiate them for their votes. No man in
our opinion can do this without becom
ing so involved with the republicans,
1 the only real opponents of the demo
' crats, as to be influenced, by them, and
gradually led to view things from their
? standpoint.

Gen. Toombs’ Kccentricity.
New York Herald.
“We trust that our readers will not
it be alarmed by the dispatch sent by Gen.
. Toombs to Chicago in reference to ‘the
i death of the Union.’ Gen. Toombs is
a frank, eccentric person, who holds a
position in the south something like
, Wendell Phillips in the north—doing
what he pleases, saying what he pleases,
nobody disliking him and nobody car
ing particularly what his opinions are,
except that they are frank, fresh, origi
nal and generally amusing.
“General Toombs is in no position to
speak for the southern people on any
subject, and an effort to quote any of
r his freaks as an exponent of public
1 opinion would do the south great in
’ justice.”

A Democratic Candidate Furnished by
Republicans.
- New Yerk Sun.
Our republican contemporaries dis
f play a remarkable interest in the Bay
j ard movement.
They wish for a campaign entirely
sectional, in which they could easily
array the solid no th against the solid
’ south, and holdj the offices and enjoy
[. the plunder cf the government four
years longer.
The first thought cf Mr. Quay, of
Pennsylvania, the d ; stinguished ring
chieftain and last friend of the Camer
ons when he read the returns of the
late election, was that there was now a
fine opportunity to boost Mr. Bayard
- into the democratic candidacy, and he
so telegraphed the Philadelphia Times
> before morning.
> Mr. Bayard would evidently suit the
republicans very weP.
Not FroinPariotic Motives.
Gwinnett Herald.
We are satisfied that a large majority
of the democrats upon whom the
burthen of the investigation fell were
acting honestly in the faithful discharge
of their duty, with no selfish or ulterior
object in view, and the vote upon Hum
ber’s resolution demonstrated it. But
that there was a ring who cared noth
ing for Goldsmith or Renfroe or Mur
phy if they could only inaugurate and
carry forward a successful crusade
against Colquitt, there is no question.
And the next campaign in Georgia will
show where these men stand. Let
every tub stand on its bottom. If Col
quitt is corrupt make your charges, giv
ing time and place and facts. He has
challenged and invited investigation, he
has even gone further and demanded
it. And after a thorough, sifting, la
borious hearing, with some of his bit
terest enemies on the committee, he
stands vindicated by an almost unani
mous vote of the general assembly. How
puerile then are these newspaper at
tacks. They begin in smoke and end
where they began.
Dr. Felton’s Letter.
A dispatch from Washington city
to the Savannah News of the 14th
inst. announced that Dr. Felton had
written a letter for publication in
which that formally re
nounced his allegiance to the demo
cratic party, created quite a flutter
in political circles throughout
the country. On the 15th the letter
was published in the New York
Times, and although the document
itself does not in direct terms go as
far as indicated by the dispatch, it is
nevertheless a long stride in the di
rection indicated. The letter is a
criticism on the course of the demo
cratic party and its leaders, and a
covert apology for and approval of
the policy of the radicals. This is
what the letter means if it means
anything. While- the doctor does
not openly espouse radicalism, it is
clear that he jis but paving the way
for such a step at the proper time,
But we are not surprised nor disap
pointed at the course of Mr. Felton.
It is but the legitimate sequence of
his course. First attempt to dis
organize and disrupt the party to
which he claimed to belong and then
desert his colors and go over to the
enemy. It is but throwing off the
gauzy disguise under which he has
been acting, and exposing to view
his arrant hypocrisy.
As might be expected the radicals
are jubilant over the letter and the
results to follow.
It is rumored in Washington says
the Star that Mr. Speer will take his
stand beside Mr. Felton and will
hereafter refuse to act and vote with
the democrats.
We were glad to see 001. Price, in
town Thursday. “He is a red-hot
railroad man.” Hurrah, Colonel.
Humbugged Again.
I saw so much said about the merits of
Hop Bitters, and my wife, who was always
doctoring and never well, teased me so ur
gently to get her some, I concluded to be
humbugged again; and I am glad I did, for
in less than two months’ use of the Bitters
my wile was cured, and she has remained
so for eighteen months since. I like such
humbugging.— H. T., St. Paul.

grain Carpets opened this week—the most

crowded with every imaginable design in
Carpets. All that I ask is an inspection o'
my styles and prices, and I will guarantee
that I will sell them from 10 to 35 per cent
less than any house in Atlanta; and I can
boldly assert, without tear of contradiction,
I that for fine work in Carpets, Cornices and
Lambrequins, I have no equal South of
Philadelphia. Do no let yourself be led
into purchasing elsewhere before you come
and inspect my stock.
