THE EAGLE. FRIDAY. MARCH 2T, 1868. Local & Miscellaneous. New Advertisements. Jewelers—Mayer & Graffe. Trustees Report—John Christen. Notice to Tax-Payers—J. F. Wildman. Survey Notice—H. C. Peterson. —— A CARD. Some of the ladies of Decatur made us a visit, March 20th, bringing with them provisions prepared for the table. A most bountiful and delicious repast was presented, expressive of their fine taste and warm feelings, which made us feel very gladly and encouraged. The esteem indicated by their social visit is very thankfully reciprocated by us. N. D. SHACKLEFORD. Magnolia Water. —A delight- . ful toilet article—superior to Cologne and at half the price. Peach Buds—So far the peaeh buds are uninjured by the frosts of spring. The prospect for a crop of peaches is good. New Bounty Law. —Information concerning the provisions of the new bounty law, may be had by calling at the office of Branyan and Ransom. Stevens is reported very feeble and declining. The excitement at Washington is more than he can bear, and his friends fear his training days are over —we don’t. Indianapolis Herald.—We will furnish the weekly Indianapolis Herald to all subscribers from this time forward until after the Presi dential election for SI. Send in your names gentlemen. Withdrawn.—We received a note from Richard Winans, informing us that he will not be a candidate for Land Appraiser, consequently his w name does not appear this week in our list of announcements. jJSTGen. Hancock and Jeff Davis riding together in New Orleans and the band playing “Bonnie Blue Flag,” is one of the latest works of fiction; issued simultaneously by the Tribune, Harpers and other great publishing houses that lie in the interest of the Radicals.

Winter Wheat.—The winter wheat in this section promises well. The dry weather prevented our farmers from sowing but a small crop, and when winter set in was very backward, but it remained comparatively uninjured during the winter, and now is coming forward finely. Jewelers.—We call the attention of readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Mayer & Graffe, dealers in Watches, Clocks, Jewelry, &c. This is the largest establishment of the kind in Fort Wayne. All goods warranted as represented. We take pleasure in recommending this house to our readers. Main Street Exchange. —This popular hotel, under the management of “mine host,” Mr. A. Freeman, seems to enjoy a goodly share of public patronage. Parties going to Fort Wayne, will find the “Exchange” a very desi rable stopping place. It is located in the business part of the city and affords good accommodations. All Right Again.—During the late gale at Fort Wayne, the Key Stone Block was partially unroofed, and Mr. Shoaff’s Art Gallery considerably injured. Workmen were immediately set about repairing the damages, and Mr. Shoaff informs us that the work of “reconstruction” is finished, and that he is now ready to wait upon his many customers with such pictures as none but Shoaff can take. Arkansas Election.—Returns from the Arkansas election indicate its defeat by about 15,000.— The military will doubtless open up the polls two or three times, and rally every old negro as early and often as they can, to overcome this majority. It is getting to be the custom of the country, and they will probably try the “open up” system in Indiana this fall, just before they start for Salt Rivej,

“The Sweetest Thing in Life” ' is good health and good spirits, | and if you have them not, the nextl best thing is what will restore ' bloom to the faded cheek and happiness to the drooping heart. The great and sure remedy is Plantation • Bitters, which our physicians recommend to both male and female patients as a safe, reliable, agreeable and cordial stimulant. They contain nothing to disagree with the most delicate constitution, and have won golden opinions from all who have tried them; and probably no article was ever tried by so many persons. They elevate the depressed and give strength to the weak. Seymour vs Pendleton. Radical papers would be pleased to see the leaders of the Democratic party quarrelling over the principles they propose to advocate, and have reported these two great names as disagreeing upon financial measures. The following paragraph shows how they disagree. The abolition of the national banking system involves the substitution of treasury notes for its circulation. Governor Seymour understands this. It is the starting point in his financial policy.— It is also the starting point in the plan of Mr. Pendleton, The latter would save more tfiafl twenty millions of interest yearly by wiping out the national banks and redeeming the bonds held by them. Governor Seymour is virtually committed to whatever financial policy the Democratic National Convention may declare.— Chicago Times. The ’Profound est Speech of the age. At a recent meeting in New Grenada, South America, a gentleman, sometime resident in the United States, expressed the hope that the adoption of American institutions would place Columbia on a level with the Great Republic of North America. He was himself summarily levelled by the following speech from a fully reconstructed Columbian. We quote from the Panama Ster:

Mb. President : In proposing that we North American intitutions, in order that we may rank among the most civilized nations .of the world, our friend is merely repeating a vulgarism against which I do most solemnly protest. We are represented as an uncivilized people; but, sir, if to do what the Americans have done, is to be civilized, then, we are civilized; if to have done it before them is to be ahead of them, then we are at the head of civilzation. For what do the Americans boast of. They have but recently abolished slavery; we have abolished slavery long ago. They have just proclaimed the equality of races, and are trying hold up the negro ; we have proclaimed that equality and held up the negro long ago. They have only finished their first civil war, rendered money scarce, and made a paper dollar not worth a dollar. We have had dozens of civil wars; have rendered money scarce and made paper dollars not worth a dollar, long ago., They are beginning to tear up their Constitution, impeach their President, set up dictators /we have done all that long ago. They are at last going to the devil as fast as they can; we have gone to the devil long ago. We find the following paragraph in.the ContjresstonaZ Globe. It is taken from General Logan’s recent speech upon alleged frauds in the United States Treasury : I believe before my God, that there are men in that department who are defrauding the Government, not only in the sale of its bonds, but by giving out copies of your dies, so that your bonds may be counterfeited. I believe your-bonds have been duplicated; I believe the department has paid duplicated coupons ofyour bonds ; I believe it has taken counterfeit notes which were sent there for redemption and set them afloat over the country again. The department has done all these things, and yet it finds defenders in both ends of this Capitol.” The Battle Cry. Governor Seymour of New York in his splendid speech, published in the Sun, gives the people’s battle cry in the great contest which is to determine the destiny of our government and country, in the following brief sentence. Let them be sounded over the land as the people go “marching on” to victory: Give us back our Commerce. Lessen our taxation. Give us back our Union. Let us fight for fireside rights, for freedom of opinion, for honest management of public affairs. Above all, let us battle for the salvation of the Union, and may’ God defend the right.

Negro Domination in the South. A few days ago the telegraph ! heralded a great radical trumph at ’ Memphis, Tennessee. We have| the Memphis papers of Tuesday j last, giving the vote of the vari- j ous wards classified as between ' conservatives and radicals, whites 1 and blacks. Here it is upon one , of the principal candidates. Look at it: WOODWARD. WICKERSHAM, j JFlznfc, White. Black. White. Black. Ist 405 5 50 230 2d 200 16 30 472 3d 336 19 40 248 4th 155 0 54 401 ’ sth 410 3 88 497 i 6th 205 0 37 580 I 7th 249 33 24 290 Bth 218 1 46 468 9th 306 7 30 354 10th 47 9 9 384 2,430 93 408 4,223 Here it will be seen that of a to-

tal vote of 7,164, only 2,838 were whites. The negroes outnumber the ; whites by nearly two to one—by a majority of 1,479. Os ths «2,838 whites, sfk-sev-enths—a majority of 2,022 voted conservative ticket. Os the 4,316 blacks—forty-six-forty-sevenths, a majority of 4,130 voted the radical ticket. Thus an insignificant minority of whites, controlling what General Martindale tells us is the “ignorant and degraded negro” vote, are in the leading city of a radically reconstructed State enabled to control all its affairs. With these figures of the result of the Memphis election before the peo- . pie, they can see, at a glance, with out the aid of any argument, how negro domination works at the South. The New York Freeman's Journal and Catholic Register in a late issue, says: “The grand movement has begun. We are going to have greenbacks for the bondholders, and currency for the people, and good times, so far as we can get them, generally, and Geo. H. Pendleton for next President.” That is as true as Gospelpreaching. A servant in Boston sued her employers for 02.000 damages for calling her a theif. She won the the case and got one cent.

SPECIAL NOTICES. The fUiserables Os this bright and cheerful world are the Dyspeptics. Without a god digestion there can neither be bodily comfort nor mental enjoyment. Between the stomach and the brain ♦here is a close and wonderful alliance. If the one is disorded the other is gloomy, dejected, incapable of effort, and indifferent to ail that makes life agreeable to the healthy. Is this a condition that any rational human boing is willing to endure, when the means of certain, immediate and permanent relief can be obtained everywhere? The Dyspeptic has h's fate in his own • hands. If he chooses to banish forever the disorder that racks his body and disturbs the mind with nameless horrors, he has only to step to the nearest drug store and proeure a supply of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. No phase of dyspepsia has ever yet resisted the alterative, tonic and anti-bil-lious operation of this potent vegetable specific. It literally regenerates the lethargic stomach; rouses into healthy actien the dormant liver; puts to flight the dismal fancies that beset the mind; gently relieves and regulates the bowels; strengthens the enfebled nerves; restores the appetite, and makes, as it were, a new creature of the desponding and debilitated invalid. Ladies who suffer from indigestion have only’to.take a small dose of this pure vegetable corrective, once or twice a day. to secure entire exemption from the pains and penalties of a weak stomach and that perfect functional regularity, which but few of the sex uninterruptedly enjoy.
