TO THE HE AO EKS OF THE SUX.
We have to-day to make an nnnomiee
meat which will no doubt he surprising to
miny of the subscribers to tho Sun and
Times. This is the lust issue of Iho paper
as an independent sheet. We have sold
its “goo.l will ’ to Mij >r A. It. Calhoun,
of the Culum'mn Enquirer, aud its sub¬
scription list will be consolidated with the
list of that psptr, m ilting it one of the
largest in the S ate, and offering an oppor
tunity for improvement and enhanced in
terest, of which, we doubt not, that enter
prising publisher and talented editor will
fully avail himself
The reasons which have induced this
course are to he found in the condition of
the times, which has of late so seriously
affected every business interest. Neither
of the pnpers of this city has been muking
money for some iiino past, and the diffi¬
culty of collecting accounts has been seri¬
ously felt in tho attempts to raise money
to meet current expenses. The proprie¬
tors of both papers have felt the necessity
of some change for the better, nnd after
weeks of consultation aud negotiation,
the step which we now announce has been
agreed upon.
Pealing confidant tint tho consolida¬
tion will result iu tue construction of a
Letter paper Ihuu the patronage bestowed
npou either separately would allow, we
believe iLut we ought rather to congratu
late our readoti on tho change than to
off jr any regrets or apologies. Still it is
with borrow that wo part with friends who
have so long given us their oncourage
ment and support, ottd with whom our
intercourse has been almost nnexcep
tion.ably pleasant. Wo bespeak for our
successor the same steadfast help and con¬
fidence that has been extended to us. He
will fill out all our uuexpired subscrip¬
tions at the same rates us those of our
paper, and having tho newspaper field
here to himself, will ha able to furnish
a better paper and offer bolter induce¬
ments to advertisers than either of ns
could with u divided subscription.
By this nrrangmout tho Sun office be¬
comes tho ouly Jon Peintino Office iu
Columbus, aud that business will bo car¬
ried on iu this city hy Tuos. Gileebt,
successor of Tiios. Gilbert ,fc C,>. Our
finely appointed Job Offico aud Book
Bindery—one of the very best iu the
South, and now being increased by addi¬
tional material—remains unbroken by the
newspaper transfer; and being relieved of
the c ires and pressure of daily newspaper
publication, we can tunv devote our undi¬
vided attention to the business which we
retain, promising to execute all kinds of
work in our lino as haudsomely, expedi
tioiisly and cheaply as it can bo done
anywhere.
With this issue our Suv, as nn inde¬
pendent luminary, sets to rise not again,
as has been its wont, with tho dawn of
nnolher day. But we cherish the hope
that during its existence of over eighteen
years its rhining 1ms not beeu in vain;
that it has imparted genial warmth to the
social circle, diffused useful information
throughout the sphere of its circulation,
been n safe aud faithful political beacon
light to tho people, and a steadfast uphol
der of their interests aud l’iyhti. Its
memory, we frost, will he a pleasant one,
nnd its record honorable aud creditable,
though of course not free from mistakes
to which all humanity is liable.
We tender to our friends, in parting,
the best wishes for their prosperity aud
happiness. Tuos. Gilbert ,t (Jo.

Washington, Deo. 22. —It has trans¬
pired that tho charges made by Wright
against Attorney General Williams huve
not been tuily sustained by the proof; but
tlio charges which wore telegraphed It from
Oregon are far mure serums. seems
i.liat very great frauds were perpetrated iu
Oregon iu the election held iu 1872
ami last spring, nnd that the guilty parties
were vigorously prosecuted hy Mr. S C.
Gibbs, llie United States District Attor¬
ney, although a Republican. Finding
that Gibbs wus making matters rather
warm General for his telegraphed political lneuds, the follows Attor¬
ney him us
ou tho 27th November last:
“I sin advised Unit you have obtained
an order for n now he Grand Jury ut this
leim of the court, to summoned in uu
unusual manner. You are instructed to
move to rescind such order, as greatly .in¬
creasing Hie expenses of the term. I am
satisfied lhat the regular grand jurors uun
lo the business ot the lerui. Take no
action before such ju y until you have re¬
ported to mo the necessity fur this extra¬
ordinary proceeding and H. expense.
Geo. Williams,
Attorney General.”
Mr. Gibbs to tho Attorney General:
The District Attoruey replied ou De¬
cember I, as follows:
“In reply, 1 have to say that it was
proven before the last grand jury that a
state of bribery nnd repealing was inau¬
gurated in the district ut tho Into Uougres
sioual election, which was alarming. A
bare majority prevented indictments
where the guilt was olearly proven. Iu
one case the Grand Jury voted an indict¬
ment, and after one night rescinded tho
indictment by a vote of one maj irity.
Upon investigation 1 fouucl that the dep
i.ty tun s mis were instructed from Port
I ind to summon certain men designated.
Supposing that the wbeelsof justice ought
not to l>e blocked hy mistake or corrup¬
tion, I moved for a new Graud Jury.
The court amended Mile No. 11 hy order¬
ing that tho Clerk, Marshal and United
States Commissioner select one hundred

of this and adjoining counties, from
which a jury may he selected by lot. A

Speculations In Regard to New Minister's
IiiHtruetloii*.
Washington, Dec. 3 >.—The appoint
meat of Gen. Cushing to be the successor
of Gen. Sickle* as Minister to Spain emi¬
tinnes to excite comment concerning the
character of tbe instructions he will re
ceivo from the Department of State after
confirmation of the nomination by the
Senate. Although opposed to an open
declaration of the line of diplomacy to
be pursued, it can be stated with truth
that one of the subjects to which Mr.
Cnsliing will give his attention will he
(he policy of political and administrative
reforms in Cuba, as the best means cal¬
culated to restore peace to that island
and promote its prosperity, nnd among
Ihese reforms is included the abolition of
slavery iu the Antilles, These views
have repeatedly been enforced both in
the President’s annual message and the
official correspondence of Secretary Fish,
aud which have been often communicated
to the Spanish Cabinet. It will be recol¬
lected tbut several years ago our govern¬
ment tendored its good offices to Spain in
the hops of Cuban pacification, but which
were respectfully declined on the basis
suggested. It is not improbable that a
similar tender will again be made by the
new Minister, as tho Administration will
resort to every proper expedient for the
purpose of restoring peace aud protecting
American interests in Cuba and the adja
cent waters, and there can ho no doubt
that an effort will be made to conclude
anew a commercial treaty with Spain; tho
oily one ever made with that power being
that of 1795, of friendship, limits ami
uavivation.

Bipee, says the Ossipee left the Tortugas
with the Virginius in tow on the tuoruiug
or,b,I..,, „
ihey had fair weather until the afternoon
of Saturday, the following day, when a

however, severe weather having eoutiu
ned, the Viurginius was again leaking (is
badly as ever, aud the vessels put into
Frying Pan Shoals, about, ten miles South
of Cipe Fear Light, where smoother
water could be obtained.
Here the vessels came to anchor, Capt.
Watts, hoping that the Virginias would
ride out the gale. Before day light next
morning, Friday, Commodore Wood now
signalled with lights that the Virginius
was leaking rapidly, with fires out and
pumps stopped, and that the crew insist¬
ed on being taken off Boats were low

aud , )y 8<)Vea 0 - clotk all on board
of tll0 Virginius were transferred

Hea waB niulung) t go work of removing
|.| )e crew was one of much danger and
difficulty, and therefore no lives were
risked in endeavoring to save their per¬
sonal effects or any other property on the
Virginius. The hawser of the Virgin in a
was cut and a buoy attached to mark the
position in case she suuk out of sight.
The Ossipee remained at anchor during r
the day, , aud , quartet . past , four . .. clock

in tho afternoon the Virginius, which
bad , , been gradually , „ settling, .... . to . the .,
went

and her top masts remained above the

The Ossipee then resumed her voyage
to this port. Her supply of coal w-as a
trifle, twenty-five tons slid remaining on
board. All ou board the Ossipee were
well. She will proceed to the Navy yard
. here, to-day . or to-morrow, after f dmchurg- _
iag c her powder. 1 Capt. Watts has made
'
a written report, . which will be forwarder?
to Washington at once.
Tho released captives of the Virginius
still remain at the Cuban restaurant on
Pine st reet, and the scene there this morn¬
ing was one of great enthusiasm. Reso¬
lutions were adopted returning thanks to
Cipt. Breine of the Juniata for his kind¬
ness, aud expressing sympathy with him
iu the loss of his son, It was ulso resolv¬
ed that the ex-captives should ntteud the
funeral of the child in a body. Some of
the captives this morning were visited by
personal friends, aud the meetings ou
these occasions were of a most affecting
character.
New Yoek, Dec. 80.-—The released Vir¬
ginias prisoners to-day passed votes of
thanks to Commander Braine ana other
ullicors of the Juniata.
Engineer Knight, of the Virginias, said
tho original sentence was that the entire
crew should lie hung at the yard arm, hut
the captain of the Isabella LaOatolico did
not. wish such a spectacle made of his ves¬
sel nnd obtained a change to death by
s’u o ing, aud the commutation of 17
of the crew to the eha : n gang. Knight
and two of the quartermasters and one of
the oilers were accordingly sentenced to
the chain gang for life, and the others,
thirteen of whom were hoys, to eight and
four years of hard labor in (he gang. A
life sentence of this kind was regarded as
worse than death. Thirty-five of the res¬
cued men are still iu charge of tho Cuban
Justice here.
