THE EAGLE.
BY RED VV IN E k HA M.
Friday Morning. November 28, 1879.
TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
We desire to return our sincere thanks to
the large number of our subscribers who
have paid up their subscription to the
Eagle. It has helped us greatly. There
are yet others however who are in arrears,
and to them wa make this last and final ap
peal to pay as the amounts due us. We
have waited with them patiently, until lia
bilities have accumulated which we must
meet. We have postponed the revision of
our books to January Ist, 1880, and between
now and that time a representative 1 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 to
ast zictly cash in advance basis. Self pres
ervation, the first law of nature impels us
to this course.
EDITORIAL EAGLETS.
1L IJUu. .
We should not allow the Felton let
ter to overslough the governorship
question. Nominations are now in
order.
From the amount of mus c there
is in the air, it would seem that the
political procession has begun to
move.
It is thought that Eugene Speer is
about to hurry off to Washington so
as to get his seat warm by the time
congress meets.
General Toombs has hurt himself-
We have not seen him nominated
for governor a single time since he
proclaimed death to the union.
And now the Phonograph accuses
Colquitt of allowing ’he state agiicul
tural building to be burned up
Say here now where was the agricul
tural building?
The name of the gentleman to
whom Dr. Felton’s letter was written
is still wrapped in the mantle cf ob
scurity. Was it Ferry and other
prominent republicans?
Does Judge Lochrane misrepresent
Mr. Representive Speer when he says,
that he will join Stephens and Fel
ton in supporting Grant. We are
asking for information only.
Some of these Grant boomers ’#ill
find that a boom is a progressive
thing. There are booms, and boom
ers, and boomerangs. This Gran;,
business is of the last mentioned
The first new number of the Brun
swick Appeal is on our table. Col
Style’s verby vernacular has the old
time ring, and when he gets straigh
ened out we look for something as
warm and spicy as a rye toddy.
Hon. Emory Speer being inter
viewed by the constitution on Fel
ton’s letter and contemporaneous pol
itics volunteers the information that
“the still sow drinks the slops.’’
This by the way is an exceedingly
able and original remark.
The independent press has been
talking a vast deal about Toombs for
Governor. We can imagine we see
him now ensconsed in the red chair,
and telegraphing “death to the Un
ion” dispatches to northen radical
papers. A delectable sight it would
be.
The Constitution has opened its
broad bosom and hugged George
Woods to its palpitating heart.
George attacked the usury law, and
it is so seldom a country editor—
those nearest the people, does this
that it is an occasion which calls for
the immediate slaying of a stall fed
steer.
We shall not become alarmed over
the coming dissolution of the Demo
cratic party, until Marcellus Thorn
ton hitches up his able trousers and
declares for Grant. When Marcellus
throws himself in the breach, or the
breeches which is the same thing,
will be time enough to look for a
shady place to die,

Judge Lochrane, who the Chicago
Tribune says is a democrat, tells that
paper that the Georgia Democracy
is in the throes of di solution. First
ly the Judge is not a democrat, and
secondly the “throes” consist at
present of a few disgruntled Inde
pendents. The G orgia Demncracv
is an exceedingly healthy infant at
this writing.
t
Great exci tin ent continues in Ire
land over the recent arrests of Daly,
Davitt and Killen. Indignation
meetings have been held at Dublin
and in Balia, county Mayo. Messrs
Charles Parnell and other prominent
Home Rulers were present on both
occasions, and made speeches advis
ing the Irishmen to proceed in a
quiet and orderly course, so as to
give the government no exuse for
violence. Parnell, in bis speeches,
denounced the action of the govern
ment in making the arrests as illegal
and unconstitutional. Eminent i
counsel have been engaged .o defend <
the Sligo prisoners, and it is expec- i
ted that the government will break i
down in the evidence which it de i
pends on to secure their convicticn, 1
No Cause for Despondency.
We do not agree with some of our
contemporaries that the result of th*
sate elections augers with any
degree of certainty the defeat of the
democratic party in the great contest
to come off in 1880 Bat on the con
trary we see in these seemingly unfav
orable results, the very best of rea
sons for believing that the party will
profit by the experience and w ill ente r
the great conflict, not only wiser but
stronger even on account of the fire
through which it has passed. The
great principles of the party are as
unchanging as the everlasting hills
and in its fight for human rights and
liberty, may sometimes in the future
as it has in the past suffer tempora.
ry defeat, but it will as certainly rise
again as the sun rises to dispel the
gloom of night. Its fundementai
principles never change and al.
though from the combination of its
enemies or the treachery of false or
pretended friends it may be repulsed
and even apparently overthrown,
vet these only serve to renew its
strength, winow the chaff, and better
than ever prepare it for the battle 8
before it. He who cannot meet tem
porary disaster without despondency
is unworthy of the name of democrat,
and the sooner the party is rid of all
such the better, for an open and
avowed enemy is preferred always
to a pretended friend.
The great battle which the demo
crats have to fight is that against the
ever alert and ever-aggressive ene
mies of human freedom, and we be
lieve that, true to its unchanging
principles and its traditions, when
the time comes it will marshal its
hosts and march to conquest and vic*
tory. Time and time again, follow
ing temporary reverses, the demo-
I cratic party has been pronounced
dead. Its enemies would have re
joiced and banqu'ted overite demise,
but in spite of all it lived and still
lives and will continue to live. Its
friends need not fear its death nor
its enemies hope for such an event,
for it will not happen. If all demo
crats will but be true to their prin
ciples, the fog which now seems to
overhang the party will be dispelled,
and 1880 will witness its triumphant
victory over all opposing elements.
Thai Grant Boom.
k We note that a vast deal of gas is
» being allowed tn escape through the
press now about the proabilities of the
democrats next year taking up Gen.
Grant as a presidential canidate,
. putting him on a broad salvation free
platform, and sweeping the country.
That the very preposterousness
of the thing does not perc’ude its
J serious discussion is astonishing to
us. It may be as well right away
now to say to the nervous ninnies
who are al ways ready to sieze upon
every novelty, and kick up a dust
over it, that Georgia wishes none of
Grant in hers, nor will she have it,
save as she did in his other two terms
when she cannot help it. If we are
to nave a strong government, and a
man on horseback, whose mailed
hand shall grasp the reins of a cen
tralized dynasty and seat himself on
the throne of aCm lar it must be by the
aid of some one else than that of the
party whose principles for years has
been in opposition to these verry
tendencies.
It is said however by the impecu
nious boomers who are talking this
flapdoodle that with Grant the demo
cracy can spike the republican guns
and achieve success. And when we
did most truculent boomer, what a vic
tory it would be. Such a victory and
Rome were undone. What do we want
of victory at the price of a sacrifice
of principles. If we were striving
for hell, we would nominate Beelze
bub for a leader and success would
be assured.
The Grant boom in Georgia is a
still born illegitimate babe, too week
to cry loud enough to call attention
to its helplessness, and such a badge
of shame to those who gave it being
that they will not own it. It is the
incoherent maudlin vaporings of old
political scabs, whose only idea of
politics is a game of chance for spoils
and who would beat the tom tom
for the devil if he were raising a reg
iment to scale the walls of Jerusalem
to ravage the temple, and promised
them a share of the golden vessels
about the alter.
The desperate struggle for the po
i ical prossession of Indiana in 1880
has commence 1. It is charged that
large numbers of Republican negroes
are being colonized in the state, and
the Democrats threaten to offset the
movement by bringing over ten thou
sand white Kentucians and distribut
ing them around as farm laborers
and artisans It is suggested that a
better plan would be for the Demo
cratic Legislature this winter to an
nex the ontire wes’ern end of Kentuc
ky until alter the Presidential elec
tion. Amicable arrangements might
be made to borrow at least a dozen
counties.
The Constitution forbids any per
son, under a penalty of $3,000 fine
and disqualification for holding any
office, who is Secretary of the Treasu
ry, to “carry on the business of trade
or commerce.” It has been discover-1
ed that Mr. Sherman has violated i'
this law by becoming a director of a 11 1
railway. Republican rivals now have }
an opportunity to boost him out of i
the Presidential race. t

Charlotte Southern Home.
If the democracy of this nation (as
Grant puts it with a big N) only had
the head of John Kelly under their
arm and could punch it to a jelly, they
would feel much relieved; for it would
be a melancholy kind of revenge, and
would, in a measure, console them for
the loss of victory.
Over A n rious.
Rome Courier.
It is wonderful how deeply the radi

of the democratic party. They are con
stantly urging the name of some mac
as a fit candidate of the democracy, and
saying that some other man cannot be
elected if nominated. And some demo
crats are foolish enough to think the
radicals are moved by a desire to see the
democratic party succeed.
Onglit to be put on Canvass.

We have not lately had brought |o

away from the true line of argument on
the usury question. The thing ought

Loves Himself Better than the Demo
cratic Party.
Albany News. ,
Parson Felton says that Mr. Tilden
thinks more of his money than he does
of the democratic party. We believe
• it; and if the Parson had as much of
the “root of all evil” as Uncle Sammy
as, we imagine that he would be very
much the same way. But there is, in
, reality, very little difference between
the Parson and Mr. Tilden in their re
lationship to the democratic party, after
, all; Mr. Tilden has the money, and be
loves it; Parson Felton hasn’t got tlje
money, so he substitutes himself fSV
it, and loves himself more than the
democratic party and all the world be
sides.
Georgia Will Never Stultify her Record.
Telegraph & Messenger.
Wo do not for a moment believe that
the reported movement for Grant in
Georgia, originating with a few mal
contents and disaffected spirits of At
lanta, and backed up by the “rule or
ruin” independents, will amount to
anything serious On the contrary, it
should serve to unite and solidify the
democratic party of the state. The
sooner the mask is thrown aside and we
know who are for and against us, the
better. Georgia will never stultify her
glorious record in the past by selling
out to the arch-enemy who, more than
any one man, has humiliated her people
and trampled under foot the constitu
tion of our fathers.
A Republican Victory.
EalriniTe Gazette.
It is a seeming understanding in Vir
ginia that the victory of the readjusters
is a republican victory, a defeat of the
conservative democracy and a break in
souq south. It is said that General
Mahone has not yet given in his adhe
sion to the republican party but that
event is expected any day. The stal
wart papers that were taunting Virginia
with being a repudiation state have
grown very quiet on the subject since
they discovered that the conservatives
were the debt-payers and the republi
cans and negroes the “readjusters.”
They are glad enough to welcome Vir
ginia as a republican state though their
republicanism means repudiation.
The Grant Boom.
Chicago Tribune Interview with Judge Lochrane.
“The letter of Dr. Felton, member of
congress from the seventh district of
Georgia,” said Judge Lochrane, “is
only the forerunner of the entire disin
tegration of the democratic party in the
state, which has been going on for some
time. Mr. Speer, the member from the
ninth district in Georgia, will inevitably
follow the line of Dr. Felton, in my
judgment. And Mr. Stephens is only
bound to the democratic party by a
thread, which is liable to snap at an y
moment, as he has already announc ed
his determination not to be governed by
caucus dictation. Mr. Stephens, too,
has always been a warm personal admi
rer of Grant, and has paid him a very
high tribute in his book on “The War
Between the States.”
No Captain-General Wanted.
New York Sun.
The foolish project of making Ulysses
S. Grant Captaiu-General has been re
vived. A bill has been drawn for this
purpose, to be presented at the earliest
convenient moment after congress
meets. Silly as this project is, it finds
advocates. Never, in fact, was a more
piebald support rallied to any bill; it is
championed by enemies of Grant as
well as by his toadies. It appeals to
those congressmen who support any
thing that seems pleasing to “the sol
dier vote;” to those democrats jthat
think Grant a strong presidential can
didate, who had better be shelved; to
those republicans who w’ant the presi
dential nomination for themselves or
their friends.
Humbugged Again.
I saw go much said about tbe 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 wiie was cured, and she has remained
so for eighteen months since. I like such
humbugging.— H. T., St. Paul.

Dear Sirs—l have been us : ng the Emerson «fc Fisher Buggy I bought from you as
roughly, I suppose, as any one coaid. I had a fast horse, drove him at full speed, some
times with two grown ladies and myself in the buggy, and it is to-day worth all the
money I paid for it. I say the Emerson & Fisher Baggies will do.

The favorable reputation the Carriages have made iu JocaHt’es whe-e they have been
used for seve'al years by liverymen, physicians, and otfae-s requiring hard and constant
