THE EAGLE,
BY J. E. KEBWINE.
Friday Morning, January 9, 1880.
Bishop Havan, of the Northern
Methodist Church died at Boston on
Saturday last.
Governor Cobb, of Alabama, has
appointed Luke Pryor Esqr., to suc
ceed the late ExGovernor Houston
in the United States Senate.
+
Congress reassembled on Wednes
day after the holiday recess. Both
houses adjourned out of respect to
the memory of the late Senator
Houston, of Alabama.
Interviews with 1,739 Indiana Re
publicans on the presidential ques
tion show that 528 prefer Blaine,
514 Sherman and 450 Grant, while
254 scatter their preferences some
what promiscously.
e t
A large number of the Lawrence
ville ladies have petitioned the Town
authorities to prohibit the retail of
liquor within the corporate limits of
that burg. The ladies will be heard
and will have to be heeded
If half that is said about the oppo
sition of the German population to
the third term be true, it may at last
block to some extent that move
ment. The Teuton is an impor
tant factor in American politics.
A paragraph is going the rounds
to the effect that ‘ ‘the old year was
prolific in disasters. ” Now we wish
to know if there has been a year
since Noah’s flood that did not yield
a reosonable crop of such a fruit.
The United States Consul at Mau
ritius reports that the cattle plague
continues on that island. About
20,000 animals have died. The di
sease has attucte 1 the deer, and two
hundred und forty-three of them
have died.
So far. General Grants reception
by the Southern people has been
with commendable dignity and dec
orum. While proper respect has
been paid to the Ex-President there
has been no obsequious adulation or
sycophantic toadying.
The Cherokees are beginning to
talk of war in the event of their Ter
ritory being thrown open to white
occupation. If the other Indians of
the Territory should join them the
united forces would number twenty
thousand well armed men.
Governor Colquitt has issued fi fas
against Treasurer Renfroe and his
securities for the interest taken by
them on the State’s deposits and
fines for the same. The fi fas. are
issued under a resolution of the Leg
islation. The treasurer will fight
the cases in the courts.
For some days the crop of Dem
ocratic Presidential nominations has
been rather poor. It is now intima
ted however that Gov. Seymour may
be induced to accept the nomination
and if so, that he will sweep the field.
The same authority states that if the
Ex-Governor will not consent to run,
Gen Hancock is the coming man.
Take it for what it is worth.
The St. Louis 7Y»ies, thovgh a
Democratic paper, favors the colored
exodus from the south, It says:
“There are enough white people in
the north to take half the negro pop
ulation-two or three millions—
without much danger to them. The
negro wouldsoon find his level as an
amiable, complacent menial, or a
clumsy, but cheap, field hand, as soon
as he ceased to be regarded as kind
ling wood for political bonfires, as a
pet, a phenomenon or a martyr. Let
them go north,

The Legislature of Maine met on
Wednesday and organized. An im
mense crowd was present and great
disorder and confusion prevailed.
The fusionists having a majority, Che
Republican members refused to par
ticipate in the organization ano pro
tested against the action of, 4he ma
jority. Three of the democratic mem
bers publish affidavits stating that
they had been offered a bribe of SIOOO
each to remain away, so as to pre
vent a quorum. The scenes enacted
would shame any negro legislature
ever assembled in a southern state
during Reconstruction.
A struggle has been going on for
>ame time among railroad officials
for a continuous line from the North
west to the sea. Now it is announced
that Colonel E. W. Cole and Gover
nor Brown, representing the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St, Louis
Jailway, which, together with the
state road, has a continuous line from
**St. Louis to Atlanta, have concluded
a contract with the president and
directors of the Central road, by
which the management of the entire

A Shocking Accident.
As the old year flickered out, the
most shocking calamity in the an
nals of railroading, occurred at the
Tay bridge in Scotland where a train
of cars with its load of human freight
was precipitated from a hight of
ninety feet'into the water below and
all were lost.
The bridge across the Frith of Tay
was completed in 1878, having been
in process of construction for several
years. When finished it was pro
nounced one of the strongest and
most trustworthy pieces of railroad
bridge engineering in the world
Including its approaches the bridge
is about two miles in length, and at
the highest point ninety-two feet
above high water and seventy-eight
feet at its lowest. The superstruc
ture consists wholly of wrought-iron
girders. For a mile and a half the
bridge is perfectly straight, but there
is a curve of about a quarter of a
mile radius at each end. The gap
created in the bridge through which
the train from Edinburgh was pre
cipitated is not less than a half a
mile in length. It includes eleven
spans of 245 feet each and one of
145 feet. Estimates more carefully
revised than those at first sent out,
place the number of persons on board
the train at 300, all of whom were
lost. It is not believed to be possi
ble that any have escaped. The
great hight from which the cars fell,
together with the fact that the pas
sengers were all locked up in them
according to the practice on British
railways, is held to render certain
the destruction of all on board
To add to the horrors of the occa
sion a terrible gale was raging at the
time it occurred. The stream is nav
agable at that point for vessels of
600 tons burden, the water being
from forty to fifty feet deep where the
train plunged into it.
Unfounded Slanders
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing frem Gainesville gives
a highly colored account of- the con
dition of affairs between the moon
shiners and the revenue officers in
this part of the state. He predicts
that bloody work is just ahead in the
Georgia mountains. He says the
moonshiners have become desperate
and are armed and equipped for the
conflict. If the writer is to be be
lieved the United States Government
will send a strong body of armed men
into the mountains to enforce obedi
ence to the law and that the move
ment is only suspended for the pres
ent at the request of Governor Col
quitt, who desires to make an inves
tigation of the matter before extreme
steps are taken and armed men
marched through the state.
We ’ think the correspondent or
some one else, has magnified a mole
hill into a mountain. In his disor
dered imagination, the author sees
or seems to see assasins with arsen
als entrenched behind every tree and
cleft of rocks in the whole mountain
region, whom nothing short of the
tramp of soldiers and the bayonet
will subdue. While there may be
here and there, in unfrequented coves
and receeses of the mountains a reck
less irresponsible party violating the
law in a small way, yet we assert
from personal knowledge and ac
quaintance with the facts that the
people of the mountains are as
quiet, peacable and law-abiding as
those of other sections, making much
greater pretentions to cultivation
and refinement. And to hold the
people of this whole region responsi
ble for the acts of a few insignificant
violators of the revenue law, is as un
fair and unjust as it would be to
make the people of Ohio answera
ble for the outrages committed by
tramps in that state, or those of Kan
sas for the robberies and murders
of the Janus Gang. The idea that
the people are in arms, to resist the
officers of the Jaw, is too supremely
absurd for contemplation, and the
charge is a wonton slander upon their
character. It is not because of
armed resistance to officers, that
these occasional violations of the rev
enue laws are not suppressed, but
on account of the difficulties in the
way of arresting the parties. Not
unlike other transgressors, they
avoid officers and when warned of
their approach, dodge into the fast
nesses of the mountains. If when
the pursued is secure in his retreat,
he should, out of maliciousness, fire
a gun into the air to intimidate his
pursuers, a panic and stampede fol
low and by the time it gets to the
sensational newspapers it is magni
fied into a battle with the moonshin
ers. It noticeable that in all these
sanguinary conflicts, no one is killed
or wounded. The truth is they nev
er had any existence except in some
fevered imagination, But an army
and bayonets will not remedy the
evils that do exist. These moon
shiners can evade a captains compa
ny as easily as they can dodge an of
ficer. Whatever illicit practices that
are carried on, may be effectually
suppressed by the selection of offi
cers for the efforcement of the reve
nue laws who are familiar with the
coves and dark corners and who will
act fairly and justly toward the peo
ple—officers who will not oppress nor
blackmail, nor rob, but who will deal
justly with all the people and uphold
the honor and dignity of the govern
ment. Such officers would receive the
moral support of the great body of the
people and would find but little
trouble in executing the law to the
letter.
CURRENT OBINUON.
Grant vs.’Shenuan.
Mansfield Republican, rep.
The nomination of Grant will place
Ohio in peril and fairly set her in the
column of (very) doubtful states. Any
other republican named in connection
with the nomination can carry Ohio ea
sily. Sherman can carry her with a
rash. Let the Grant boomer put this
fact in his pipe and smoke it.
Did not Act *t the Proper Time.
Atlanta Constitution.
General Grant’s Jacksonville oration
contains some patriotic utterances that
should have been entertained and car
ried into execution while their author
was in power. If the distinguished
speaker did anything to make the coun
t:y one, it has slipped from our memo
ry. He did a great deal to embitter
one section against the other; but he is
entitled to some credit for the frankness
with which he acknowledges his mis
takes in this respect.
What the Decision Does.
Savannah News.
The truth is that this decision of the
Supreme court of Maine will not at all
affect the status of the legislature so
soon to assemble. The governor and
council have issued the certificates and
their work is done. The rest must be
settled by the legislature itself. It
does, however, serve to show up most
glaringly radical hypocrisy, and we
greatly mistake the leaders of the
Maine democracy if they do not util
ize it to the future advantage of their
party.
Business Men Required.
Southern Blade.
Had the people of Georgia sent busi
ness men to the legislature, the former
treasurer would not have lost the State’s
money. The pi esent treasurer would
have been paid a decent salary, and
could have been independent of the
banks; and the State received a fair in
terest on the deposits, instead of spend
ing thousands of dollars in an attempt
to disgrace an official who but acted
upon the acquiescence granted to all
former treasurers, and, openly and
squarely, with an accompanying general
efficiency, what former treasurers had
done with an accompanying general in
capacity.
Is it a Trick o«- is it Real.
Macon Telegraph.
The only question is whether suffi
cient antagonism to third term will be
displayed’ in the. republican ranks to
awaken a reasonable dread of defeat in
a popular canvass. It is claimed now
that the German defection in Ohib, In
diana, Pennsylvania and New York will
not only endanger those States, but
throw them over to the democrats. If
that be so, the third term movement
may take a hitch backward. But all
this may be the machinations of John
Sherman—the last trick of a desperate
candidate. It is certain John is not
the man to give up the contest without
a powerful effort in self defense.
Andy Johnson as a n Incident.
Cleveland Herald, rep.
Mr Keogh, secretary of the republi
can campaign committee, shows some
perception of current events when he
says that Blaine will get the nomination
in case it is not given to Grant. A de
cided increase in the strength of the
Blaine movement has been noticeable
for some time past. Mr. Keogh is
working very earnestly to secure “rec
ognition of the south” by the conven
tion. By that phrase he means the
placing of Mr. Settle on the rear of the
ticket. There is an incident in the his
tory of republican nomination that
makes the party exceedingly cautious
in going south for timber wherewith to
construct any portion of a ticket.
The Lainb-like Spirit.
Savannah News.
The republicans of Maine are trying
the ostracising system on their green
back and democratic opponents, and
are using the power of the church in
particular against them. The clergy
men, who are for the most republicans,
took occasion last Sunday to preach
sermons in severe denunciation of what
they style the democratic conspiracy.
The congregational church of Bangor,
of which one of the governor’s council
is a member, has under advisement his
expulsion. Governor Garcelon also,
who is a member of the Methodist
church, has been frequently insulted
and preached against by his own pastor.
As for the greenback papers, they are
being brow-beaten in the matter of ad
vertisements, those being taken from
them by republican advertisers if they
endorse and support the course of the
governor.
Only One Year More.
New York Sun.
If we can only see one more year be
gin as this year has begun, and as all
previous years have begun, without
having chronicled the election of any
man to a third term of the presidency
of these United States, all will augur
well for the continuance of the country’s
freedom through an indefinite period of
time to come.
Let not the y ear 1880 witness so much
as the serious nomination of a candi
date to a third term; for though wo do
not think Grant would be elected if
nominated, yet to see the republican
party in its national convention put a
candidate forward for a third term
would have a good deal of influence to
diminish the strength of the tradition
against a third term.
If the scheme fails in 1880 it is more
likely to fa ; l till 1980—and that year
as well as this we should like to record
its failure with our own hand. We
could stand a hundred years more of
human life just for that one patriotic
pleasure.
Pruiitable Patients.
The most wonderful and marvelous suc
cess, in eases where persons are sick or
wasting away from a condition of misera
bleness, that no one knows what ails them
(profitable patients for doctors), is obtained
by the use of Hop Bitters. They begin to
cure from the first dose and keep it up un
til perfect health and strength is restored.
Whoever is afflicted in this way need not
suffer, when they can get Hop Bitters. See

During the coming year —a year that will witness the progress* and
culmination of the most interesting political contest that has ever
place in this country —every citizen will be compelled to rely upon -
newspapers for information. Anticipating the wide-spread desire for the
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
piring in the State, the Union, and foreign lands.
As 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 as
in the past selected from the very best sources, pure and chaste, and worthy
a place at the fireside of every home within the range of its circulation.
As a political journal, it will be unqualifiedly and uncompromisingly
Democratic. Believing in the eventual triumph of the principles of that
party, it will uphold and defend it in season and out of season un.il it shall
cease to make them its rule of action. A competent ami experienced
Washington correspondent will keep our readers fully posted as to affairs at
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 due attention, and the
farmer and housewife will always find something of interest, instruction
and profit.
To sum up, it will be a first-class family, political, agricultural and news
journal, and will be brighter and better than ever before, discussing tersely,
vigorously and seasonably all matters of interest to the pul lie.
