The Rebellion in Maine, is the

Mr Speer telegraphs to the Atlan

Well did you ever ? Now that the

have the opposite effect by arrousing

Atlanta Constitution'. “The case of
George Vaughn, the colored janitor of
the Atlanta Medical College, convicted
in Marietta last Tuesday of stealing the
body of William Johnston, of Cobb
county, has created much sensation
here and throughout our neighboring
county of Cobb. The fine of six hun
dred dollars imposed by Judge Lester
has not, been juxid, for the reason that
defendant’s counsel intend to move for
a new trial. The motion docket of
Cobb Superior court, will he called on
the 12th of January, and then this mo
tion will be argued.
CURRENT opinion.
Making Cotton by Steam.
V ickeburg Herald.
The stock of the Wesson mills can
not be bought at any price. This shows
how cotton factor! s can be made to
pay in this State.
Stiuck it Right.
Rome Courier.
The infusion of silver into the cur
rency of the '■ountry by the democrats
of congrosi made possible the bi’sk
trade that would not have been real
ized even with the advantage of good
crops and balance of trade in our fa
vor.
Coming Down Also.
New York Herald.
From the first of January the legal
rata of interest in New York w ;i l be six
per cent. Methods of dodging the law
will undoubted be as plentiful as here
tofore, but there is no possible excuse
for their practice in legitimate transac
tions.
Facts for Republicans.
Springfield Republican.
Republican politicians may as we’ l
remember that if Grant is nominated,
the anti-Grant boom wi’l be a good
deal bigger than the democratic party,
and as the Grant boom is a good deal
smaller than the republican party, the
result might be unpleasant for the re
publican politicians.
The Rear Men for War.
Washington Poet.
The names of the Morrills, the
Blaim s, the/Hamlins and the rest of
the gang who are shrieking for war in
Maine cannot be found in the list of
Suidiers from that State who served in
the war of the rebellion. They were
all at the rear in fat places when
was real need of fight‘ng men at the
front.
The South Will Hold Off.
Baltimore Gazette.
The South will not interfere if Mes
srs. Blaine, Hamlin and Frye carry out
their bloodthirsty scheme for “Mexi-
Maine. The South believes
in non-interference with the local dis
sensions of a State, and the people of
Maine may “Mexicanize” each other as
much as they please, as far as the south
is concerned.
How to Observe Christmas.
New York Herald.
A peculiar feature of yesterday was
the number of religious services.
Churches of all denominations seem to
have realized that Christmas has a le
gitimate place in the list of days hon
ored by public religious exercises. It
is rather odd that the idea should have
been so long in developing, but better
late than never.
Republicanism in Georgia.
Atlanta Republican.
We have lately had opportunities of
consulting with some of the most intel
ligent republicans in Georgia, and find
that they are all in favor of organizing
the party and of making a vigorous
contest next year. They deem it im
material whether the ball shall be set in
motion by the committee appointed in
1876 or by a fresh and original move
ment. If harmony and efficiency can
be best secured through the former
agency, they are ready to co-operate.
Hopeful Indications.
Macon Telegraph.
From every branch of business in
our city, during Christmas week, the
report is favorable, and it is conceded
that Macon never sold so many goods
for the cash in the same length of time.
Indeed, for a month past, both whole
sale and retail merchants have had
their hands full, and the former, in
many instances, have been unable to
fill orders as fast as they were received.
Cotton continues to be sold as soon as
it arrives, and the farmers spend their
money freely for the comforts and
plantation supplies they need. It is
estimated that several thousand dollars
wore burnt up or exploded iu the shape
of fireworks of every kind.
What It Would Be.
New York Sun.
But above all and most important of
all, this display shows what a third term
of Gon. Grant would be. If possible,
it would bo more debauched than his
second term, which was bad enough
to make patriotic and high-minded re
publicans shade their eyes with their
hands and turn away with disgust.
A third term is not a third term for
Grant alone; not a third term for one,
but a third term *for a trio, Grant,
Babcock, and Robeson; a third term
Grant and all the bad men who sur
rounded him before and all the bad
new men who have come to the surface
since.
Grant, in truth, is the candidate of
all the unconvicted plunderers and de
faulters. They are for him in a solid
body, for him, like Don Cameron, first,
last, and all th<iime.
If the South Rdiiaiii, True.
Savannah Nows.
A statistician who has been studying
the house of representatives, disposes
of all chances of the republicans ever
getting possession of the lower branch
of congress. There are 187 members
from Northern States. Os the districts
these represent, 48 have been demo
cratic at all times and under all circum
stances. They returned democrats to
congress during the war, and at a time
when the democratic party of the coun
try was in its weakest condition. The
republicans, even if they carry every
doubtful district in the North, cannot
secure more than 139 members from
that section, whereas a majority is 147.
To get a majority of congress, therefore,
the republicans must carry eight dis
tricts in the South, where they have
now only five. Until the South goes
over to the republican party, there
fore, there is no possibility of the re
publicans ever securing control of con
gress.
Cause anil Kffeet.
The main cause of nervousness is indi
gestion, and that is caused by weakness of
the stomach. No one -an have sound nerves
and good health without using Hop Bitters
to strengthen the stomach, purify the blood
and keep the liver and kidneys active, to
carry off all the poisonous and waste mailer
of the system. See other column.

Begs leave to inform her friends and the
public generally that she has opened her
store in her dwelling house on Main street,
next door to the college, on the right hand
as you go from the square. She hopes to
receive a liberal patronage, and to merit the
same by a desire to please and the low prices
at which she will sell goods. Look for the

•< „
o
During the coming year —a year that will witness the progress
culmination of the most interesting political contest that has ever taken ■
place in this country —every citizen will be compelled to rely upon thcJM
newspapers for information. Anticipating the wide-spread desire for thelM
fullest information, the publishers of the Eagle have perfected arrange
ments for making it a more complete newspaper than ever before, and to
present to the people of Northeast Georgia everything of interest trans-i J
piring in the State, the Union, and foreign lands. | ■
As a newspaper, the Eagle will endeavor to give the cream of everything |
in that shape which may enable its readers to keep fully informed of current- {
events with the least possible expenditure of time.
Asa home and fireside journal, its litearry matter will be in the future a.4
in the past selected from the very best sources, pure and chaste, and worth'd I
a place at the fireside of every hCme within the range of its circulation. I |
As a political journal, it will be unqualifiedly and uncompromisingly! I
Democratic. Believing in the eventual triumph of the principles of that VI
party, it will uphold and defend it in season and out of season until it shall v|
cease to make them its rule of action. A competent and
Washington correspondent will keep our readers fully posted as to affairs at/M
the nation’s capital.
In State no less than in national or foreign affairs our readers will be
kept posted on everything worth knowing. Our State News department
will be carefully edited, full and reliable.
The Agricultural department will likewise receive Jue attention, ami the J
farmer and housewife will always find something of interest, instruction 1
and profit.
To sum up, it will be a first-class family, political, agricultural and new*
journal, and will be brighter and better than ever before, discussing tersely,
vigorously and seasonably all matters of interest to the public.
