WHAT THE PA PE US SAY
Of Mr. Sli'iihcus' t'onnrctluu
with The Sun.
From the Alt tauy (Gad Raw*. > i
The Atl.infh Situ.
The announcement of Mr. Stephens*
connection with The bun, as part owner
uul political editor, place* that already
popular paper in tho very front rank of
Southern journalism. Mr. Stephens is
one of the profotindest thinkers of the
times, ami lms no superior ou the contin
ent as a political writer.
W« conQfratu late our friends Slights
and Smith ou the valuable and noble ac-
qnisitiou, and cordially welcome the great

Hi
of the Fourth Instate. His advent is au
epoch iu journalism, and we feel houored
l»y the association.
From the Entonton Pres* A Messenger.
A. If. Stephens.
In another column we give to our
readers, many of whom probably will
have no other opportunity of seeing it, a
i^opy of the “Salutatory” written bpr tho
Sage of Liberty Hall, on the occasion of
his assuming editorial control of the po
litical department of The Atlanta Sun.
This new arrangement forms an epoch in
the history of journalism in this
this section, this coantrv&^hwflfAronuu
and where do you fiutirfSuch another edi
tor? When has oue like this ever woild-
ed the pen?
Many circumstances combine to render
Mr. Stephens one of tho most remarka
ble and interesting of men. IIis power
ful intellect, as contrasted with his al
most unheard of physical feebleness—a
feebleness and attenuation that were al
ways wonderful, even iu his beat days, ami
that now constitute him a living miracle—
the prominent part he has acted iu the
history of the American people; the fiery
impetuosity of his original style, and lus
preseut habit of calm, conscious power,
and wisdom; the invective and sarcasm
that used to lender him the feared and
formidable debater, and tho utter abscuoe
f anything like personality that charac
tcrises everything emanating from him
at tin' present day—these are a few of the
points that designate him us an object of
curious enquiry.
He is one of tho few politicians living
that are devoted to abstract principle
alone. Wo are almost, ready to Bay that
he is the only oue within the range of our
knowledge. It is well nigh utu rly iin
possible for a human being to be pci feet
y free from the promptings of personal
ambition, or the influence of personal
tipathy or favoritism, except under just
the peculiar circumstances by which Mr.
Stephens is surrounded. lie has out
lived the stormy passions, the tierce hos
tilities often engendered by political
strife. He is neither seeking offie
waiting for it, as a great many are who do
not “seek” it. We sincerely believe that
his only earthly ambition is to appear
now to the world, and to go down to pos
terity, os an exponent of eternal, uudy
ing truth J He reminds.us of tlm Dogo of
"'eiiice, when tho latter says:
“I i-p- ak to Time »nil to Eternity,
Of h Inch I grow a portion—not to man."
One feature iu the present character of
nr Statesman, already alluded U*, which
lioiild commend itself to all uspiniuts, is
bis strict avoidance of personal abuse of
others. While waging uncompromising
war on opinion*, he seldom, or never dis
parages men, or questions their motives,
supply because they differ with him. If
his example were imitated, how different
.v’ould intercourse be, among those who
issume the leadership of tin* people, and
what a happy influence would bo exerted
upon the people themselves !
We believe Mr. Stephens, in advocat
ing tho theories announced by him in his
;Jututorv, is doing batth* for the Right.
Wo believe that Mr. Stephens, iu refrain
ing from personal abuse to those who en
tertain views different from his own, pur-
s a course that should commend itself
to all who arc ambitious of attaining
position, nml weight, and influence. We
believe that Mr. Stephens, iu steadily op
posing any further resort to arms iu sup
port of Southern principles, is occupy ing
he only touablc ground—the only sound
position left to us. In short, we believe
that Mr. Stephens, in pursuing just the
lourse that he does, commands more re
spect, from his political antagonists, as
well ns friends, thau any party leader now
living.
In proof of this, we may mention the.
fact that, as this wise man’s opinions,
n connection with his suavity of manner,
his personal habits of kindness, and his
benevolence to tho poor (always clmrnc-
; eristic of the man, by the way, oven when
as something like a fierce partisan)
have become better and better known, so
.terminal reflections on him, evonfrom the
North, have become fewer and tower till,
it length, they have almost entirely
ceast-d; uud it has arrived at that pass
hat the pestilent class of Yankee news
paper correspondents themselves, while
hiding fault with his principles, have
naught to say uguiust tim man, who cu-
ertains opinions as to government that
hey look on as almost treason. Is not
this evidence in favor of tho puri-
y of his character, such as cannot
a- adduced iu the cose of any other
cquully prominent Statesman now in life!
the country, but tncnUtflt/ one of the
lutgeM men in America; in that he has
tiie advantage of the Heral i man, or any
other man that attempts to sling ink
slang and ridicule at him. We are not
surprised to find men that become nerv
ous and “out of sorts*’ ou seeing the cut
of a rooster in a Democratic newspaper
in election times, crowing over a Demo
cratic victory ovor Radicalism, abasing
such men as Jefferson Davis, Alexander

The fact that Alexander H. Stephens
has become the political editor of Tiie
Atlanta (Ua.) Sen, has produced quite a

IVullaudighum Democracy. They antici

Mr. Stfjmiens liaa published his salu

will give weight and national characU-r
to that journal, as it will be the exponent
of the political sentiments of a larj
portion of tho people of the Hunt
whose views are in accord with that
statesman. As a clear thinker, vigorous
and convincing writer, theconutry affords
but few equals. He has as thoroughly

upon which it is based, and tin* meaning
and force of the language of the Con
stitution, in which those principle an
embodied, us any statesman this country
nas produced. With his great iut*dloct,
he has brought to the study of these sub
jects, a most wonderful industry, and iu
his history of the Causes of tho War,
has, if it were possible, given a perfect
analysis of our system of government,
backed with an argumont, aud au urraj
of historical facts which completely ex

The Chattanooga Times of the 2ttth
discourseth as follows of Stanton, the
bankrupt who wouldn’t stay broke:
Mr. Stanton cau build a railroad
as well as any one, nml he can also
run one—into the ground.
The people of Chattanooga, who
have hitherto sustained Mr. Stanton
through thick and thin, now that he
has gone back ujiou all his pledget
iver feel
nnd promises to them, will never feel
that their interests are sale while he
is managing tho Alabama & Chatta
nooga Railroad. This was tho unani
mous opinion along the streets yes
terday.
Mr. Stanton was going about the
streets yesterday denouncing Ihe peo
ple of Cattanooga as s.wimllers, thieves,
etc., because they would not release
the security for the debt due them by
the read. Singularly enough, at the
sometime the people of Chattanooga
are denouncing Stanton as a swindler
just because he won’t pay liis debts.
Now that oureyes have at last been
opened to our mistake in supporting
Mr. Stanton so lung and in view of so
many broken promises, wo have been
promised a large number of interest
ing fuels oonocriiing the Alabama &
(Jliuttiiuooga Railroad which will
throw some light upon a very dark
suljjoc-t.
it should bo remembered that J. 0.
Stanton is nut the Alabama <& Chat
tanooga Railroad corporation, neither
cun his verbal promise hind the road.
He is simply an omployoo of the com
pany, who'also owns some stock iu
tho company, if any stock has ever
been issued, which is doubtful. The
company, if it wishes or intends to
run the’roud profitably, would do well
to discharge him and put in a man
who knows how to run a railroad.

of the spiciest and best delivered dis
courses it has ever been our pleasure
of hearing. The eloquent siK-akcr
esjiecially alluded to tnose gomi old
days, when all men were honest, und
more prosperous; to the good old
men nnd women who composed the
bone und sinew of our fair land, and
with glowing language, depictod tlu-ir
many virtues uml nobility.
In the afternoon the examinations
were resumed. The young ladies and
gentlemen acquitted themselves with
credit ami honor to tlu-ir teachers.
The Hecherche atliiir of tho whole
occasion, came off on Wednesday
evening. It was Prof Bchoelle/s
Concert. This performance began
with a piano duet by Prof Hehoefler,
and Miss Genie Piilieu ; then came a
soprano solo, by Miss Laura Moor
“All of the young ladies acquitted
themselves handsomely, and every
onoof the performers received deaf
ening applause."
The cantata, “The Quarrel Among
tho Flowers,” composed by Prof.
Bchoollcr, was well w ritten, and acted
with great life and spirit, by the young
ladies.
The Cnlisthcnic exorcises wore
again renewed by request. .Mr. Eu
gene Blalock dosed the exercises of
tno evening by a well written and
well delivered valedictory. This
dosed the exercises of the Hogans-
ville Institute.
Too much credit cannot be given
to Prof. Looney and his assistants,
for the manlier in which the exercis
es were conducted.

Among most- reported as
ported as so OTqi red
was Mr. A. C. Carroll, who is said to
have received notes to the amount of

It was currently reported yesterday
that Mr. J. C. Blanton utterly repu
diates (lie agreement made ut tlie
ercdilm-s’ meeting of June 7. lie
will not mnku any showing or his
business, and says he is the heaviest
creditor, aud lie intends to run things
to suit himself. Creditors w ill have
to do IheU-st they can for themselves,
which will probably lie to tint down
the iluht of the road to profit and to.--.
If Governor Lindsay, of Alabama,
lues to pay the July interest on Ihe
indorsed bonds of the Alabama &
Chattanooga Railroad In- w ill do wise
ly to take ]tosses*ion of the road for
the Stale. Mr. Blanton is no friend
if Governor Lindsay, nor to any one
else except while lie can use them.—
While, the bankruptcy proceedings
were in abeyance, a gentleman called
upon us with a dispatch which lie
said Mr. Blanton wished sent to tlu-
Assooiutcd Press, hinting that Gov
ernor Lindsay was implicated in the
ring to get possession of the road.—
We declined to he. responsible for
sending any such dispatch.

Grand Success!
Editors Eva: On Tuesday night,
nt nn curly hour we repaired to the
capacious Hall and found a large and
elegant audience in waiting to hear
the Grand Exhibition of original
speeches und compositions. All did
well, but we must Imj pardoned for
mentioning several upon whom we
do not think too mnclt praise cau Ik;
bestowed. Tho speech of Mr. Ham
rick was u fine effort, evincing deep
thought and great culture. Miss
Jennie Johnston’s production 'was
also well written aud delivered in a
happy nnd tienntiful style, as also the
composition of Mis* It. Moreland

Hornsby displayed quite u versatile
