The Sub has been steadily growing in
favor with its party for months past, and
the announcement that its editorial col
umns are hereafter to be under the con
trol of Mr. Stephens, who is the
nised head of the party in Georgia,
make The Bub the leading Democratic

The Atlanta Daily Sub.—This paper
has recently enlarged its columns, and

His long connection and active leader

revive in the people a spirit of reveronoe
for the Constitution and laws of the land.

Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, in
“salutatory” in the Atlanta Sue of yes

charge of the political department of that

the National Democratic platform of
1868. Mr. Stephens’ residence will still
be at Crawfordville.—Columbus Enquir

The Atlabxa Sub. — Last Tuesday's

ring of the trne metal in it Its articles
on “Bourbons" and "Abusing Jefferson

the approbation of every trne Democrat

it for it* defense of the true Democracy

paragraph to show the genuine fire that
should blare all over this country and

“If to b« devoted, heart and *onl, to the Confuta

that no lessons intended to open np the

We congratulate the reader* of The

The sngar interest ot Louisiana, whiot,

again rising to prominenoe. In 1861 the

waa but 8,468 hogsheads, and from that
tboee 'New Departure' Democrat* who appraocl
them under dteguim, with the voice of Jacob, but

This is real, genuine Demoormey. It is
the kind of talk we want to see omanate

ten bold expression of true Dem-
lo sentiments. Let The Sun contin

from tbc State Capital, and the shekinah

ia the contemptuous policy only of the

demoralising the Democratic party, and
it is the duty of every true Democratic

ment will be received with peculiar satis
faction throughout the Btate. We have
long thought that it is a duty which this
eminent statesman owes to the people of
Georgia to give them the benefit of his
wisdom and experience; and especially is
this duty landing upou him in the pres
ent juncture of National and State af
fairs. His known sagacity and conserva
tism invest his opinions with singniar
weight, and they should not be confined
to tho walls of Ijiberty Hall. The con
nection of Mr. Stephens with The Sun
will immediately place that paper among
the leading journals of the South—a dis
tinction that will be well deserved.—Sa

-he “ Fourth Estate” is looking np,
and most heartily do we weloome the
sage of “Liberty Hall” to tbo ranks of
journalism, and congratulate the Sub np
on it* good fortune in securing his pow
erful aid. His connection with that pa
per “means business.” It is not the
mere nee of his great name, bnt the an
nouncement is made that he will contri
bute to eve>7 issue of the paper. This
will impart to that already popular paper
s degree of interest which will extend its
Circulation far and near.
The announcement does not take ns by
surprise, as we had learned some time
ago that Mr. Stephens contemplated en
tering the arena of journalism. A bril
liant earner awaits him.—Athens Banner,

The Savannah News on the New
Departure. J
That stannch Democratic organ, the
Savannah Netcs, of the 20th inst, in pub
lishing the Chester county Resolutions,
which appeared in .the columns of Tun
Sun yesterday, makes the following per
tinent editorial comments:
In another column we pnblish a scries
of resolutions, adopted by toe Democrats
of Cheater oonnty, Pa., in which they
repudiate toe ninth reeolution of the late
Democratio State Convention of that
Stnto, and emphatically declare their op
position to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments, and the unconstitutional
legisation of Congress. It will be ob
served, also, that the Democratic organs
of Westmoreland and Centre counties re
pudiate and condemn the new departure
of the State Convention, and denounce
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments aa “fraudulent appendages to tho
Constitution," which “it will be the duty
of toe Democracy to repeal whenever
they get the power to do so."
We have good reason to believe that
toe resolutions and tho extracts from
Pennsylvania Democratic organs which
we print, express toe sentiments of a largo
majority of the trne Democrats of all
sections of the country, North, East and
West as well as South. Any other posi
tion in referenoc to the flagrant usurpa
tions of the Radical party would bo not
only opposed to the principles of De
mocracy and trne Republicanism, but
treason to constitutional government.
The now departure, instigated by a few
ambitions politicians, eager for office at
any sacrifice of principle, will not be ap
proved by the majority of the true men
ot the oonntry, and if it should result in
the disruption of present party organi
sations and in inaugurating the trne is-
sne, which is properly between central
ized despotism and constitutional gov
ernment as it was transmitted to ns by
our revolutionary sires, thousands who,
influenced by the passions, prejudices
and apprehensions ^engendered by the
late sectional strife, hare acted with the
Radical party, will throw off their unnat
ural allegiance to that faction and side
with toe upholders of tho Constitution
snd the rights of the States.
Tho question of revolution or restora
tion onoe faily before the people, relieved
as it will be from toe sectional prejudices
by which the popular judgment has been
deluded, and we are strong in onr faith
that there is yet patriotism, honosty,
virtue, and intelligence enongh in the
American people to bring onr more than
half revolutionized Government back to
its pristine Repnblioan purity.
At any rate we prefer to make toe test.
We are unwilling to voluntarily accept
revolution in onr system of government
which the Radicals havo attempted to
force upon us. Let the issue bo plainly
and fairly made, andifaconsoldated des
potism is to be erected upon the ruins ot
the Constitutional Union of States, we
will be bettor prepared to “aocept toe
situation” after the verdict of toe people
has been obtained. Till then we should
accept nothing.
A Terrible 'Horse Disease,
■Within a few weeks past an alarm
ing and fatal malady has made its ap
pearance in the stables of some of the
New York city railroad lines. The
Sun says: “It recently showed itself
among the horses of the Second Ave
nue line, where there have been over
one hundred and thirty cases, al
though not more than about twelve
have as yet proved fatal. The first
symptoms are manifested in the slow
and sluggish movement of the hind
quarters, and in stumbliug. It is a
disease of the membranes over the
spinal marrow, and beginning appa
rently over the lumber verterbras, ef
fectually paralyzes the hind quarters.
The distemper gradually works itself
along the spinal cord uutil it reaches
the brain, when the fore legs give way
and tho horse is deprived of the use
of his limbs. The horse continues to
eat and drink as heartily as though
he was well; his appetite secerns to
increase rather than diminish as the
disease advances. There is no effec
tual remedy for this frightful malady
yet discovered. A gentleman in West
chester county, out of seven fine
horses, has lost five; another gentle
man on Long Island, the owner of
many, fast trotting horses, lias lost
six from thedisease, valued at 80,000.
It may be noticed as a singular coin
cidence that cerebrospinal meningitis;
though not of a malignant form, is
prevailing extensively in many parts
of Virginia.”
