Till: WEEKLY SUX.
We deem it a fitting occasion, as the
commencement of another year is close
at hand, to unnonr.ee that our best ener¬
gies shall be devoted, as they have been
in the past, to make the Sun entirely ac¬
ceptable to the people of the surrounding
country^of Georgia and Alabama as a
general news paper, and one devoted to
the business interests and political princi
ples'of the people. We endeavor to give
compendium of all the interesting
news of the day. so as to keop oar read
era fully informed. Among other objects
claiming our attention, on account of the
prog: ess which it has already wade and
the good results to the South which we
fondly hope it will accomplish, is the
movement of the Farmers’ Granges. The
news of this order, as well as other inter¬
esting current events, will appear in both
onr Daily and our Wholly editions, and
subscriber* to either may rest assured
that they will keep up with the work of
the order by taking either. Below we
give the rates of the Weeklx Sun, and in¬
vite the people of this section of the
■ country to compare the paper and it 8
price to any other published, especially
noticing our club rates. If our friends
will show the people in their respective
neighborhoods bow cheaply they can pro
cure a large and well-tilled paper, devoted
to the inlerest uud Urn nows most impor¬
tant to them, we are satistied that many
clubs will be formed at once. The new
year will be ft good time to commence,
and u dollar or n dollar and a half paid for
such ft paper would certainly be as good
a new year's investment as any man could
make.

A. It. ljAMA.lt, ESQ.
His many friends bore bnve been grati¬
fied by the announcement that Mr. La
mar's health is sufficiently restored to en¬
able him to enter upon an active discharge
of the duties of bis office. The renders
of tins p iper, upon which his able and
caustic pen was for some time employed,
need no u .sur.uioo that ho will fill his
present position creditably to himself and
bi'iieliciuliy to tbo State He has been
tried m other positions, under the State
and the Confederacy, and found always
capable and efficient. He was a trusted
counsellor of high Confederate authorities
during the war, and liis own station in
thit conflict was one us necessary and im
p irtant to the Confederacy as the soldiers
i i the field. Nor is it forgotten that per¬
ils and responsibilities bad to be encoun¬
tered by our public men, immediately af
t :r the war, of quite as responsible and
hazard us a nature ns service in the field.
We all know how manfully Mr. Lauiar
stoo d up during our “reign of terror”—
when able and influential men were de¬
serting their principles and their race—
against the < fl’ort to degrade Georgia to
the condition of South Carolina and Lou¬
isiana as to-day exhibited. Though known
to be “spotted,” and though spoaking and
writing at the risk of his personal liberty,
he did not hesitate to denounce and ex¬
pose the outrages perpetrated on the
“Ashburn prisoner*'’and the tyranny and
knavery by which they were committed.
He carried with him from Columbus the
affectionate regard of our people, which
many of them evinced by their support
of the paper on nhioh he was engaged in
another city, and they still remember with
pride the capacity, courage and fidelity
with which he has filled every position
entrusted to him.
PROF. LOUIS J. It. AGASSIZ.
This eminent naturalist, whose death i*
reported by telegraph, was born in Switz¬
erland, May 281h, 1807, aud was conse¬
quently in the GTtb year of his age. H*
came to the United States in 184(5, and
had since lived iu this country His fame
as a naturalist aud a man of varied science
was world-wide. His travels were exten¬
sive, his researches thorough and labori
ous, and his collections probubly the
greatest of any tuan of his day. Most of
the latter are in the Boston Museum of
Comparative Zoology. His works were
as varied ns his learning, being upon fos¬
sils and living animal species, upon ge¬
ology. the glaciers, natural history, Ac.
He had iu progress of publication a mag¬
nificent work cutitb d "Contributions to
the Natural History of the United States,”
which will probably now remain unfin¬
ished. Distinguished literary honors had
been bestowed upon him, and men of
science everywhere paid the greatest de¬
ference to bis opinions. The latest active
enterprises in which he was engaged were
in connection with the United States
coast survey and iu the establishment of
an academy of natural science upon a
little island on the coast of New England.
The Montgomery Moknino News— the
new paper at the seat of government of
Alabaini, of which we have heretofore
made mention—made its appearance yes¬
terday. It is a bright, genial, entertain¬
ing aud newsy sheet, and ought to com¬
mand success upon its own merits. Our
friend John £ Huberts (“Sandy Merlin,”
whose correspondence has often enter¬
tained our readers) is the senior editor
and proprietor, associated with Messrs.
Jas. M. Hichards and Thos. J. Cox. They
make a splendid newspaper team, as their
first number attests. We wish them
abundant success, and we believe that
they will achieve it. for they are the right
Eort of men to overcome difficulties aud
win their way to public confidence and
appreciation.
The terms of the Daily Newt are $8

A 11EM AN 11 FOR WORE AND
BREAD
We are rather surprised that no tele¬
graphic report was sent of an immense
muss meeting held at Cooper Institute,
New York City, on Thursday night last.
I was a meeting of working men to take
into consideration the condition of the
industrial classes as affected by the finan¬
cial situation and dullness of business.
The New York papers of Friday say that
every inch in the hall was occupied before
the hour of meeting, and that the jam
was “almost unprecedented.” The spirit
which actuated th getting np of the
meeting was emphatically displayed by
some of the mottoes placed in prominent
positions aronnd the platform. We copy
u few of them: “The Unemployed De¬
mand Work. The Dawn of Liberty—
Dec. 11, 1873;” “Freedom for Labor,
Death to Monopoly;” “Does Speculation
or Labor Create Wealth i “We have
sworn upon the altar of justice that the
wealth earned by labor shall pay the tax
os.” “We mean business- Politicians
please take a back seat.” “When work¬
ing men begin to think, monopoly begins
to tremble;” “We strike at evils, not
men;” “A pill for panics, graduated tax;”
“Equal laws and homes for the industri¬
ous;” “Give ns this day our daily bread;”
“All salaries shall be reduced—they are
too expensive luxuries in these hard
times;” “Civil rights have passed, now
for the rights of labor;” “Government
euilpoymenta remedy for strikes;” “Man's
avarice must be limited,” Ac.
A report of a committee previously
appointed to examine into the number
and condition of the unemployed working
people of New York, was read. It. pur¬
ported to show that there are 10,000
homeless men and women in the streets
of New York, while 7,500 others of the
same class are lodgad in tho overcrowded
station houses every week. These figures
show an increase of 3.72!) over tho number
for last year. There are 1,500 starving
men and women fed per day from one
private house, and 20,250 idle men from
eleven trades unions, while only 5,050 of
their fellow craftsmen are at work. In
the State of New York, there are 182,000
skilled workmen idle belonging to the
trade organizations,and 82,000 machinists
and blacksmiths at present out of employ¬
ment. in the United States. The total
utmiber of persons thrown idle in be
city, of all classes, is given as it0,000.
The number of persons living in the tene¬
ment houses of New York is 0011,009. Of
this class 100 ,000 women earn their own
living, and 88,000 women nro employed
at the average wages of $3 44 per week.
The report of this committee demanded
of the city authorities immediate employ
rnent for those out of work, the abolition
of all useless officcH, a reduction oi all
salaries of officials, Ac.
The address to tho people of the United
States, whioh was adopted, made the name
demand of work from the General Gov¬
ernment and reduction of HalarioR. Two
other demands are the following : First—
that a law shall be enacted, which shall
prevent any law being enforoed until it
lias been submitted to the people and
sanctioned by the people. Second—That
no individual shall be allowed to hold,
either directly or indirooty, a sum of
money, groater than $300,000, or anj
sum which the people themselves ahull
determine upon.
These two propositions seem to be
democratic and agrarian iu the extreme ;
but they were excelled by another of n
practical character: “That we will, in
this our time of need, supply our families
and ourselves with proper shelter and the
neces*aries of life, and will send all our
bills for the same to the City Treasury, to
be liquidated, until such time as we shall
obtain work, and pay for all onr work."
Perhaps the most mischievous action of
tho 'meeting was the appointment of a
“Committee of Safety, 1 ' whose duty was
defined to be “to look after the interests
of all the people, and to boo that then
rights are respected, and if need be en¬
forced.”
These demonstations do not surprise us.
Blit ns there is evidently an improvement
iu business all over theconntr) and a pro¬
gressing resumption of industry and
trade, we trust that tho undeniable hard¬
ships of the situation, which are urged as
the justification for such proceedings, are
being gradually overcome, and that the
feeling which actuated this meeting will
subside with the restoration of better
times, instead of gathering force by agita¬
tion and a continuance of the evils com¬
plained of.
THE PRESS CONVENTION.
There are but few of the presses of the
State represented, and no regular business
could be transacted at the meeting jester
day. But the conversational discussiou be
tween those present revealed the fact that
there were matters of interest which a
fuller representation could have acted
upon. It is not considered certain that a
quorum can be obtained to-day.
We believe that those who have oome
to the Convention will find their visit a
pleasant one. and will only regret the ab¬
sence of so many of their brethren of the
press. Our citizens have made arrange¬
ments for entertaining them ami contribu¬
ting to their enjoyment while here, and
we trust that the visit to Columbus will
be an agreeable if not a business one.
Col. C. W. Styles, 1st Vioe President of
the Press Association, presided at the
meeting yesterday. Invitations were re¬
ceived, and accepted, to attend the “Black
Crook” performance last night, and a ban¬
quet to be given by the Chattahoochee
Boat Club, at the Rankin House, to-night.
The members will meet again at the
Club Room to-day, at 1 o'clock, and it is
be hoped a quorum to transact regular
business will then be in attendance.

learns from an authentic source that the
At lanta and Richmond Air-Line Railroad
has been sold to the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad. The final arrangements were
perfected on Thursday.
We cut this curious item from the Ma¬
con correspondent (13th instant,) of the
Atlanta Herald:
“Sitting on the Bust of Pallas ”—
Yesterday morning when the Columbus
and Atlanta express and passenger trains
came in the general depot, the two or
three hundred people there noticed a large
while winged, building white breasted hawk fly
into the and perch upon a beam
immediately over the engine of the Co¬
lumbus train.
The attention of all was immediately
called to what not a few considered an ill
omened bird. And when both these trains
simultaneously started upon their jonruey,
the hawk flew out, passing over both and
seemingly lingering over the Columbus
train, aud went off to the woods below
the city.
l’he superstitious are at perfect liberty
to draw their conclusions and they may
rest assured that scarcely a passenger upon
either train who saw that hawk rested
quietly iu his seat during the day.

would feel the tariff on these articles less
than any others; and as to the artioles of
taxation pertaining to the Internal Reve¬
nue Bureau, the money could be collected
without additional expense to the Govern¬
