THE EAGLE. BY REDWINE & HAM. Friday Mornin?, December 5, 1879. EDITORIAL EAGLETS. What has become of the Grant boom? Mr. Hayes’ message was a lengthy docament. Three more weeks and then — Christmas, and the tin horn. The Bainbridge Demorat is build ing a presidential boom for Han cock. The Augusta News is two years old, and as popular a daily as you could find with a search warrant. You can write it down in your political note book, that Georgia will take none of Grant in hers. While we are building booms so unanimously, we ought to build one for the clement attachment. Lets do it. That Towns county story in. the constitution, bears the earmarks of the vivid imagination of Henry Grady. Ben Russell of the Bainbridge Democrat, is “agin” on the usury law- Let the Constitution give Benny a hug. There has only been one nomina tion for Governor this week, as far as heard,from —Hon, A. T. Mclntyre of Thomas. State politics are remarkably quiet. The boys whose business is to stir up the animals, must be taking holi day a head of time. Burnside got in his work on the canal question, the very first day of the session. Burnside is evidently a very previous patriot. Now that congress is fairly under way, the country can sit still and hold its breath, and see what ar rangements are made for 1880. Some farmers in Meriwither coun ty heard a strange noise in the woods the other day. It was probably some home political hen hatching a new boom. They are having all sorts of fun in Maine over the returns of the recent election. Gov. Garcelon seems to be standing up to Blaine, and his gang like a little man. If Grant is a presidential candi “tlaie next year he will be the canid date of the old stalwart, ring jobbing republicans, and will recieve no democratic votes. Mr. Hayes wants to retire the greenbacks, and give the national banks full swing. By Mr. Hayes permission we would qrefer to retire the national banks. With a clement attachment, and cotton seed oil mill, we could start a boom in this neighborhood, that would make the joints of old “good times” fairly crack. The Atlanta Republican is jubilant over Felton’s letter. “There shall be more rejoicing over one sinner that repeneth, than over ninety and nine just persons who need no repentance. The Atlanta Republican is authori ty for Yhe statement that the bottom has dropped out of the democratic barrel. Does it mean uncle Sam Tilden’s bar’l,? If so, and its informa tion is trustworthy, it will be sad news to numerous panting patriots. The Atlanta Republican says, Gov. Colquitt’s preaching to the negros will not make him republican votes. As the Governor has no such object in view, the assertion of the fact, if fact it be, does not amount to any thing. When the southern republicans reorganize, as it is stated they will do soon, anxiety is felt as to what position J. E. Bryant will occupy in the procession. Without a carpet bagger at the head of the column to manipulate and direct the rank and file what to do, the thing would look awkward. It is stated that the Treasury Department is in favor of restoring the import tax on tea and coffee, on the ground that the price of these articles has not sensibly decreased since the tax was removed. While this may be true, it is reasonably cer tain that the price will be raised if the duty is restored. The Detroit Tribune sneeringly says that “a noble Southron has giv en Ben Hill, a gold watch in token of the donor’s admiration,” etc. It would have been just as easy for the Tribune to have told the truth and said that the watch was presented by an ex-officer of the Union Army, who hails from the state of Wis ion sin. It is estimated that there were one hundred and fifty thousand voters in New York who did not go to the pods at all this year. They are not nearly all Independents or republi cans, but every one of them are democrats who were disgusted with the late faction fight and wouldn’t go • to the polls. In the presidential elec tion they will all be out and ensure the state to the democratic nominee. Worth Thinking About. Much has been recently said in the press about a new invention in manufacturing, x.uown as the Cle ment attachment, by which cotton is converted from the seed into yarn, thus doing away with the expense of ginning and packing, paying for bag ging and ties, and doubling the price of cotton. After careful considera tion of the matter we are satisfied that if acted upon all over the south it must result in a complete revolu tion j,of old methods, and an im mense gain to our section. Under the old system, our farmers i confined themselves to raising and baling the cotton, and taking for it I whatever price the speculators chose to put on it. Whatever profits were made in the spinning and weaving went into the pockets of eastern 1 manufacturers. With this new attachment, which ' can be put up at small cost the farmers can spin their cotton into yarn which is worth double the price of the rawl material. With a small factory in every neighborhood, the farmers can dispose of their cotton in the seed at its full price, the facto ry can spin it, addingas much more to its value, and thus bringing into the country nearly or quite douole the money for every crop of cotton that it would otherwise bring. But this is not all. Another wealth producing avenue can be opened up to our section by the in troduction of cotton seed mills, A gentleman from Louisiana who has been in this business for some time recently visited Westminster S. C.» to see the clement attachment. He was thoroughly pleased with it. He says he is now running a seed oil mill, and he is going to put in four clement attachment mills. He says he will then be prepared to handle cotton all the way from the boll to yarn and oil. Os the profits of the clement attachment, we have already spoken. The gentleman says that he gets sl2, worth of oil from every ton of cotton seed, and that the residue is just as valuable for stock food or fertilizers as before it was taken out. In other words every ton of raw cot ton seed put into the ground as fer ilizers wastes twelve dollars worth of oil. In addition he uses the hulls for fuel, and sells the ashes for fertil zer. We have thus hurriedly alluded to these matters, and may not have made ourselves as clear as we could wish. We should like to see these enterprises inaugurated right here in our city. With a clement mill to gin and spin the cotton, and an oil mill to make oil and furtilizers, we would reap five benefits; first, a ready market for seed cotton, second ; the large influx of ready money which these enterprises would - bring into our midst; third; employment for quite a number of people, fourth, asav ing of large amount of money anaual ly sent away for fertilizers, and fifth, the general prosperity which all these comoined would bring. The matter is worth thinking about. Mr. Hayes’ Message. On the assembling of Congress on Monday, Mr Hayes sent in his an nual nessage to that body. The doc ument as a state paper, is tame and commonplace with but few sugges tions or recomendations worthy of special notice. The message opens with the finan ce« and recomends that the coinage of silver dollars at the present legal ratio be suspended during the pen dency of the propositions for unity of action between the United States and the principal commercial powers of Europe • Ou the same line he rec commends that the greenbacks or legal tender United Slates notes should be retired from circulation as their issue could be justified alone as a war measure, and that the circula tion of these notes for any protrac ted period in time of peace was not contemplated by the framers of the law under which they were issued and is without warrant in the con stitution. This part of the’message is carefully worded but it is clear that Mr. Hayes makes the best argu ment he can for the bondholder class and against the two great democratic measures of stopping the contraction of the currency and remonetizing sil ver, by which the country was saved from total bankruptcy and ruin and the present condition of comparative prosperity inaugurated. He urges additional legislation against polygamy, the appropriation of funds for the compensation of Mar shals and some few other points, a notice of which, as well as a further discussion of his financial scheme must be deferred to another time* Look after your wild lauds. Un der the recent decision of the Su preme Court, nearly all of the sales of wild lands for taxes have been declared null and void and the pur chasers got no tittle. The wild land sharks who have been so busy for years hunting up other people’s land and buying iifas against it, have been caught in their own trap and the real owners cannot be dispossessed under these fraudulent sales. It is now to the interest of every man who owns any land that comes under the defi nition of wild land, to look after his interest and save his property before it is claimed by some squatter.

On Thursday night last a fire oc curred in Cochran, destroying a wood en warehouse and three wooden store houses. Judge James M. Wellborn, of War renton, has been visiting Athens. He is still unmarried, and “in maiden meditation fancy free.” Two bad citizens and one bad bottle of whiskey got mixed in Marietta the other day. Result, a broken whiskey bottle, and a mashed head. Messrs. Pate and Waterman have brought out twenty Jersey heifers from lowa with a view to improving the stock round about Hawkinsville. The Griffin Sun says: “The fall term of the Griffin female was brought to a close a month earlier than usual.” This is very sad for the Griffin young men. Rev. J. R. Smith, M. D., long a citi zen of Sandersville, but now of Tal botton, has accepted the presidency of the Reynolds school, Taylor county. A special dispatch from Warrenton informs us that there has been no out break among the editors as yet, but that hostilities are expected at any mo ment. Mr. J. 0. Mcßurney and Mr. Hol lingsworth, of Macon, have bought the Pulaski cotton factory at Hawkinsville, and will put the machinery in operation at once. Why in the deuce and Tom Walker doesn’t the Griffin News print a few lo cals now and then byway of variety ? We would like to hear from the town occasionally. Mr. John L. Anderson, of Pulaski county, made this year two bales of cot ton weighing 505 and 410 pounds, upon one acre and a quarter of land. The ground was measured. The Dublin Gazette will pardon us but we got the item about peaceable people being knocked down on the streets of that town from its columns. If its statement did not authorize the remark we withdraw it. A negro was found dead at Wood’s camp ground in Jackson county, the other day. There were no marks of violence on his person, and the coro ner’s jury returned a verdict of death from natural causes. The people of Laurens county, have taken quite an interest in raising fruit. There are already a great many new orchards and on Wednesday last be between SBOO and SI,OOO worth of new fruit trees arrived to be delivered to the purchasers. The Savannah Penny Local is respon sible for this one: “Could you tell me, sir, which is the other side of the street?” was the inquiry of one who had the benzine flavor about him. “Yes, over there,” said the friend who was questioned; “Havens, the artist, is on the other side of the street.” “That’s what I said, but a fellow over there said this was the other side. ” » CURRENT OPINION, Only Holding Bark, New York Tribune.

Central Georgia Weekly. The Grant boom is dying. It is dead. If fact, it never had any life in Georgia. Time to Sell Short; Cincinnati Enquirer. Holders of the stock in the Bayard boom can sell short now. They will be able to fill orders at a profit. There May be One or Two. Washington Post. There have been white cows and six legged cats. We will not, therefore, say it is impossible to find an alleged southern democrat who is in favor of Grant. Silent and Hard at Work. Cleveland Herald, rep. A silence so deep that it can almost be felt has hung over Gramercy park ever since the November election. This is a sure sign that the old mold is hard at work. Lacking in Principle. Punch. This season appears to lack fixed meteorological principlers; but it keeps up a pretty fair catarrahal pressure, and precautionary chest protector signals ordered all along the coast; Yee, Why Should He I Athens Watchman. We are quite sure that Mr. Speer has done nothing, said nothing, written nothing which needs explanation. Why then should he rush into print, to deny or explain the surmises which have been by other people given in the papers about his probable conduct in the next session. After all he will be judged by his record, and of his past record we have heard no complaint. Neither Point nor Pith. CCattanooga Times. Dr. Felton’s late letter has neither point no pith in it. His professions of Jeffersonian democracy sound silly to those who know him as a fiat money man. The letter was addressed to the national review, the organ of the rag baby lunatics. Felton is merely a demagogue, who never originated or effectually advocated any measure in ■ congress; and he finds proper channel i to the public through Lee Crandall’s rickety, blatherskite sheet. Gen. Sherman Excited. 5 New York Sun. The proposition to confer an excep- J tional rank in the army on Gen. Grant i has disturbed the equanimity of Gen. Sherman so seriously that his nervous f system may be said to have suffered a > severe shock. He is reported as going about Washington in an excited nrame 1 of mind, and as making indiscriminate j war upon the supporters of the scheme, whether republicans or democrats, and without regard to color or previous con dition of servitude. r Better Defeat than Dishonor. Gwinnett Herald. If to stand by our principles brings - defeat, let it come. Better defeat than 3 dishonor. If to battle against central; ism, and in favor of constitutional gov . eminent and the rights of the States, j arrays against us for the present the t masses of the north, let us hold our ground. We are right, and the man who abandons the right and asks the south to fall into the tail end of the , radical procession, is unfit to represent Georgia on the floors of congress, or to speak for her people anywhere. Why Is It I Atlanta Republican, Why it is that some of the democrats in the south, are now raising the Grant boom, is a mystery to us. While in of fice he was the representative of the most stalwart ideas entertained among republicans. Whenever necesssary in the south to protect the lives of repub licans from Ku-Klux, and vicious per sons generally, he stationed troops, and by word and action plainly told the democrats of the south that if they did not behave themselves, he would make them do so. Now in the short space of four years, we find many of them whooping for Grant. What does it mean ? Felton’s Letter. Atlanta Republican. Many republicans express little satis faction at Felton’s letter,. They seem to think that he ought to hoist the op position colors at once, and join a radi cal club or the grand army of the re’ public. To us the letter is most wel coma. It shows an appreciation of the situation that augurs better things to come. It is very significant, emanating from one of so large a following in the State, and one who, with Mr. Stephens, heads the independent movement in the south. These men have more than half tho democrats of Georgia at their backs. They will soon have more than half of the whites throughout the south, under their banners. While the organized democrats are talking of making Grant their candidate, the better portion of the party, under the lead of these two distinguished Georgians, may see that it is wisdom on their pai t to support John Sherman, or some other adminis tration candidate, who represents the very best element, the reform and pro gressive element of the republican party. Felton’s utterances we are fain to believe are sincere. He means busi ness. And he is going to fight it out on the line adopted. Feeble Ladies.
