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 GEORGIA NEWS. Whnt the Local Editors gee and hear. Griffin has a phantom party now and then. The Constitution has a Gainesville cor respondent. The sneak thieves are working Bruns wick just now. Warrenton is to have a teacher’s con vention on the sth and 6th proximo. See here, is it not about time for John Shecut to start a new paper in Madison ? Montezuma is going to light her streets with lamps, and is building a new jail. The Bold Spring Baptist church, two miles from Harmony Grove, has been dissolved. The Thomasville Times says: “There areseveral John Kellys in Georgia. They will come to grief.” “Buy the improved singer” says an advertisement in our exchanges. Thank you, we are doing our own singing. The Athens Chronicle will make a note of the fact that its Gainesville agent lives at Jonesboro. Some LaGrange people claim that they are heirs of a large fortune. They are of Swedish descent. The spelling reform is marching on. Ben Russell, of the Bainbridge Demo i crat, alludes to a “prodigee.” “Keep a stiff upper lip,” says the Madisonian. Easy enough to say but you can’t do it when your razor is dull. The Cumming Clarion man has seen a four hundred foot gourd vine. George Woods should be telegraphed at once. Madison sighs for a “German” club. She is getting so hightoned that the old fashioned cotillion will not do any more. Lumpkin county pumpkin seed sprout , and start vines before the pumpkins are cut open. Very industrious pumpkins those. The Vindicator says that the Green ville girls who sat up to see the stars fall were disappointed, but drew lots of ' sparks round them. Miss Sallie Fenn, of Atlanta, com -1 mitted suicide last week. She was too kind to her lover, and he afterwards re fused to marry her. The young ladies of the Wesleyan Fe- • male College and the young gentlemen » of Mercer University have organized a ( social reading club in Macon. ' There is a regular temperance revival in Atlanta. One thousand six hundred and sixty-nine personshaving signed the pledge up to Tuesday night. There has been a general reduction 1 in the rates of the several railroad lines * leading into Savannah, and the people ’ of that city are delighted. 1 Two Valdosta darkies disagreed the > other day, and one pulled out his potato J peeler and disemboweled the other. . Another Southern outrage. 1 The Darien Gazelle is responsible for s the statement that Christopher, of the , Phonograph, is soon to marry a Darien r beauty. What has Madison to say to this ? i The Americus Recorder publishes a , list of eleven names of residents in Lee f county, the youngest of whom is sev enty-seven years, and the oldest ninety ’ two. West Point took six of her young people to the church the other day and married them off to each other all at the same time. Three girls and three ■ boys. i LaGrange claims to be the best cot i ton market in the United States. When New York heard this she lay down on the bank of the Hudson and cried like anything, Mr. JohnG. Peck, an old and highly respected citizen of Lumpkiu county, met with a painful accident the other day at his mill. It is feared it may prove fatal. Joe Wallace of Brunswick has a fine American eagle recently captured in Worth county. He says he is a regular E Pluribus Unum, just like you see on the new dollars. When Bill Harrison, of the Montezu ma Weekly, and several of the boys went up to Macon and cleaned out a faro bank, they called it “the hauls of the Montezumas.” Good John Waterman, of the La- Grange Reporter, has got mad with politics. Johnny should keep his tem per. Toombs has a monopoly of the indignation business. Lightning struckanegro in Troupcoun ty the other day and glancing off killed a dog. It then went around and hit several other negroes, and had quite a sociable little time. Maj. J. F. Kiser, of Atlanta, was le receutly married to Miss Cobbie Hood, of Randolph. A cleverer man than the Major is hard to find, and the bride is one of Georgia’s fairest. The Cumming Clarion knows of a young man who picks cotton all day and works on a house he is building until two o’clock at night. That young man is in a hurry for something. John Blats thinks that the devil should have put Job to running a news paper if he wanted to make him fall from grace. In other words John is sorry that Belzebub is not the inventor of job printing. A Valdosta negro borrowed one dol lar and a half, several years ago, to buy a marriage license with, and a few days since he whipped the unlettered heathen who loaned it to him for dun ning him for the money. In-the department estimates to be presented to congress next month, the secretary of the treasury will ask for SIO,OOO to complefe the custom house in Atlanta, $129,300 for improving the harbor at Savannah, and $25,000 for a like purpose at Brunswick. Uncle Billy Revill, of the Meriwether Vindicator, has fallen out with Gov. Colquitt about the Macon A Brunswick Railroad. That Uncle Billy’s ire should be thus aroused is a sad, sad piece of business. We had rather sold out the whole thing for five millions of dollars than for this to have happened. CURRENT OPINION. What will go with Him. Charlotte Southern Home. One striped-tailed congressman in Georgia declaring for Grant is all fudge. The democrats have 100,000 majority in that State, and will bury him out of sight at the next election. We Tohl You So.” Chronicle & CouMi.uiioia'ißt. One of Augusta’s leading bank men stated yesterday that since the rate of interest had been reduced to eight per cent., there was less demand for money than when the rate was ten per cent. Would like to Punch John Keliy. 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 cal papers are interested in the success 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. LaGrange Reporter. We have not lately had brought |o our attention anything sublimer than the spectacle of little editor Harris, of the Constitution, swinging to the coat tail of our stalwart representative, Awtrey, in the vain atteinp to drag him away from the true line of argument on the usury question. The thing ought io be put on canvass, even if a circuj tent has to be sacrificed to furnish the canvass. Clever, but Without Followers. Oolumbuß Enquirer. Let the whole gang of Grant boomers assemble in Georgia and there will not be a corporal’s guard of tue whole. Not a man has been named who has a single follower, nor one for whose name a single follower could be obtained. All that we have heard of, are clever good fellows, but of no earthly influence. Judge Lochrane never had any poli tics but is as clever a fellow as ever spoke a speech. 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. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Ho mestcad. GEORGIA, R/bun County. Arzeiia P.
