It is stated that the Georgia dele
gation in congress is so divided on
the question of who shall be the five
supervisors of the census in the state,
that the matter has been turned over
to the control of Senators Gordon
and Hill.
The sphynx has spoken, Grant
told a Cincinnati reporter the other
day that he had given no one any
reason to suppose he was seeking
the presidency, and when ever it was
tendered him he would let the peo
ple know what he would do about
it.
Mr. Bayard may as well take no
tice that the country will not support
but repudiate his proposition to take
away the legal tender quality of
greenbacks, and then retire them
from circulation. The people want
no more contraction, and will bury
those out of right who advocate it.
In view of the fact that many pen
sioners are fraudulently on the rolls
and more are trying to get on, a
resolution has been introduced in
the house of representatives, asking
for the appointment of a committe of
five to investigate and report upon
the whole matter. This will doubt
less prove to be a prolific field if
properly cultivated.
The charters of tho national
banks, which were granted for twen
ty years, begin to expire in 1883, one
hundred and seventy-nine of these
’nstitutions having been chartered
before January 1, 1864. It is said
that a good many shrewed men in
congress are looking forward with
gratification to tho time when the
banks will want favors at their hands.
The Washington correspondent
of the — Atlanta Conzti ! u ! ion says
that conservative repub’'cans
say that if Grant is nominated by a
national party with some southern
man as vice president he will have a
walk over. Herschel V. Johnson is
mentioned in this connection. They
may save their thunder. He .'schel
V. Johnson would not have it.
From some recent squibs in the
Warrenton Clipper, and Greenville
PwidzcaZor, we incline to the opinion
that the editors of those able jour
nals, are of the class that prefer to
“believe a lie that they may be dam
med” to accepting the truth which
has been plainly set before them. We
may have occasion to change this harsh
opinon, but so the matter stands at
present’ Need we explain brethren?
We desire to call the attention oj
the friends of the Eagle to the pro
spectus and premium offer in another
column. We are fully prepared to
carry out every proposition there
made, and the liberal terms offered
ought to bring us many new subscri
bers. Will not our old subscribers
pay up and renew, will not each one
try to get us as least one or more
subscribers? If they will, we wi l !
give such a paper for 1830 as north
east Georgia has never seen. Every
friend of democracy pure and
simple, should lend us a helping
hand. There are great battles ahead
of the party, and in them the Eagle
will wield no school boys withe.
The friends of democratic prin
ciples should rally io our support.
J. E. Bryant has opened the
frontal gash in his countenance, and
informed a reporter of the Continua
tion that sectional and race questions
are dead issues, and that the four
great living questions upon which the
republican party will go to battle
next year, are first: That this coun
try is a nation; second, we must have
only hard money, or paper equiva
lent to it; third, every citizen must
be granted the right to vote; fourth,
free school education to every child
in the state. The first will never be
admitted, on the second there will be
vast differences of opinion, and to the
third and fourth the democratic
P ai ty is pledge J, and is bending its
best energies. This lea ves Skowhe
gans platform a very uarrpw affair.
What It Means'!
The advocates of a strong govern
ment may see a practical illustration
of their theory by casting their eyes
for a moment to oppressed and down
trodden Ireland, where heartless
landlords are extracting the last drop
of sweat from the toiling masses over
and above that which is absolutely
necessary to sustain life. And this
is what strong government means.
It is to give to the favored few, the
power to oppress and enslave the
many. It is to legalize and upho’d
the must galling slavery and give re
speciability to robbery. It means to
classify society, debase virtue and
elevate to the highest social position
the robber. It means to confer on
the few the power to make the laws
and execute them. It means large
standing armies to stifle liberty and
keep the people from asserting their
rights, which armies must be sup
ported and pampered in idleness,
by the sweat of the toilers, whether
the wife and babes have bread
enough or not. It means an end of
liberty of speech and of the press.
It means a National religion (with a
big N) with all that the words im
ply. It means a few nabobs and
aristocrats sustained in affluence and
luxury Uy the sighs, groans and age
ny of toiling millions. It means the
the dictatorial domineering of might
over right. It means the subvers on
of written constitutions and laws
and the substitution of the dictum
of the ruler. It means bayonet gov
ernmont and dungeons and bastiles
and sweat boxes. It short it means
a hell on earth. All this and infi
nitely more is implied by the words
now being so flippantly used by in
terested parties, in making a plea for
“a strong government.”
One of the alarming signs of the
times is that we hear a strong gov
ernment, with a king and princes at
its head, discussed and advocated
with apparent unconcern. It seems
to excite no more interest than the
debating of an ordinary question in
science or political economy. The
wonder isthat the very suggestion of
such aradical change in our system,
does not arouse sucn a storm of bur
ning, withering, scorching, blistering
indignation and contempt as to ut
terly overwhelm and bury it out of
sight.
Is it true that any considerable
number of the American people are
prepared to surrender their consti
tution, their form of government,
and their liberty, for a system copied
from the effete monarchies of the old
world, under which her millions are
now groaning? Can it be, that lib
erty is so common that it is not ap
preciated Or is it true, that a class
of men who hold the obligations of
the government, fearing that some
thing may occur to diminish their
income or endanger their securities,
axe at work systematically, to sub
vert the constitution and substitute
a dictator ?
That there are influences at work
to educate the people to a change, is
apparent to every observer. That
there is a plan and purpose in the
work, none need doubt. But that
the great body of the people should
listen and look on with seeming in
difference and unconcern, can but
excite grave apprehension in the
mind of every patriot and lover of
liberty. Revolutions never go back
ward. When once in motion it will
be too late to change the course of
the torrent until our whole system is
subverted and liberty lost.
keep Quiet.
It is a little singular that the so
called independent press of this dis
strict should be so remarkably
touchous. A few days ago Hon.
Hiram P. Bell was a delegate to the
North Georgia conference at Augus
ta, and because an Augusta reporter
asked him a few questions about
ninth district politics, snd he saw fit
to answer them, the aforsaid so-call
ed is taken with a fearful spell of
virtious gripes, and rolls in the ago
nies of outraged decency.
Why this should be thus we are
at a loss to conjecture. Is not Mr.
Bell a citizen of this district? Is he
not entitled to his opinion? Did be
attack any body, or state any thing
but facts? Our neighbors should
keep their temper. Their pet shall
not be hurt for a while at least. Mr.
Speer is away attending to his duties.
No one is criticising any proper ac
tion of his, and all this hullaballoo,
and up starting of the music before
the procession begins to move, or
even to form, only renders them pe
diculous in the eyes of conservative
sober thfnking people.
If our independent neighbors
want to have some fun, want to stir
up somthing to keep the pot boiling,
let them taele the Hon. J. E. Bryant
If the Hon. J. E. carries out his an
nounced programme and runs a tick-,
et in every county and district in the
state, we fear it will contract the
theatre of independent operations.
The bell-punch has so signally

proper enforcement.

A Calin ut the Capital.
Macon Telegraph.
So far as wo could see or Learn in a
recent visit to Atlanta, there is no seri
ous movement or enthusiasm manifes
ted for any of the numerous asj 'rants
for the highest office in the gift of the
people of Georgia. Governor Colquitt
has a large following; trartrcll claims
hosts of friends; Wofford, it is said
¥ ill be in the field as an independent
candidate; the friends of Colonel Harde
man are not unmindful of his claims;
Lawton possesses a strong hold upon
the affections of the people, though the
enemies of the Central railroad insist
that his relations to that mammoth or
ganization will be fatal to his prospects,
and then there is a sporadic support for
Bacon, Blount, Adams, Reese and oth
ers. Still, as remarked above, there is
at this time no pronounced enthusiasm
for any of them. Perhaps it is because
it is too soon to fix the political slate,
and there is a disposition to abide the
progress of national events and local
questions at home. However this may
be, outside of tbe threats and boasts of
a few independents and so-called Grant
democrats, the politiical sea is unruf
fled by the faintest breeze. W e only
wish that the'calm could be extended
indefinitely.
The Silver Hoard.
St. Louts Republican.
There are now 45,000,000 silver dol
lars in the treasury, the product of the
coinage act of 1878, and the coining is
still going on at the rate of about
$3,000,000 a month. A year from now
there will be $75,000,000 and the accu
mulat’on will go on at the rate of $30,-
000 000 a year since Mr. Shei man re
fuses to pay the coins out to public
creditors, and then solemnly tells the
country that he cannot get them into
circulation. But it is evident that the
accumulate n cannot go on forever;
there must be a limit to it somewhere.
The country will see the folly of hoard
ing so large an amount of good, hard
lawful money in the vaults of the treas
ury, where it does no good, and will
demand that it be pr • to some use.
Mr. Sherman foresees this, and there
fore he advises that no more silver be
coined. But tbe advice is met with a
loud and emphatic no from the
people and from congress, both insist
ing that the coining shall continue.
Sooner or later the treasury will have
to pay out the silver to public credit
ors, and then it will be seen how much
the country can absorb. If the coin
shall be found too bulky for convenient
carriage and handling, it will be easy
enough to issue silver certificates to
represent it. Anyway it seems certain
that the time must come when the peo
ple will have to be allowed to pay their
debts in silver in Lead of gold, which is
the medium cf payment now, and which
makes every debt 10 to 13 per cent,
more than it ought to be.
