It were * bopeleee taek—thot of nn
deotokiog to print * new*paper that
would please everybody. On thie quee-
tion of the beet conduct of a paper, men
differ as materially and aa variously as
other subjects. Mr. Jolui Smith po
litely enters our sanctum and asks why
it ft we do not advocate the annexation
of Kamchatka to tbo government of ( tee
United States. Mr. John Jones, soon
after Mr. Smith’s departure, eDters and is
surprised that we do not recommend the
City Council of Atlunta to oompM orory
property owner in the city to scrape up
•ad haul off, every morning, tho mud on
the street in front of hie residence or
bnsinew house. Rev. Mr. Brown chides
u§ for not recommending that Congress
or the Legislature make swearing a pe
nal offense. Mr. Williem Moore, a Good
Templar, berates us for admitting into
oar columns the advertisement of a
drinking saloon; while tome enterpris
ing presiding official of one of the latter
eetal liihments is surprised tbet we All
onr columns with such stalo reading to
the proceedings of the numerous Good
Templar organizations extant.
And »o the contending sentiment is
kept up—each new visitant propodog
some new or obange of sentiment, until
the editor finds amusement in reileoting
on the diversity of sentiment ho fluds
among the readers ot his paper. Men
have alwaya differed and always will on
the many questions of principle or
policy that affect the pcblio mind and
the pnblio purse.
We beg to say that it U not within the
proper provinoe of a newspaper to un
dertake to say whloh is the right or
whioh tho wrong sido ot every question
that oomee before the pi* lie. An editor
la but a human being, and as a rale really
knows no more than tho readers of the
paper about the merits of a question.
Onr policy is to give tbo readers of
Tbe Son the news, and editorially what
ever additional information we may have
obtained, over that given in onr news
oolumua. If every editor who seta him
self np a* a director and a judge of pub-
Uo sentiment would take the trouble to
overhaul the polumna of his book num
bers, in many instances proof would be
fonnd of a lack of judgment that wonld
sense more modest delivery of opinions.

The Augusta Cvneti/ntainnliit ccntedue
• sketch of the life and public services
ot General Wright.
“Early enlisted in tho war ns e privets
in the Confederate Light Guards, Gen.
Wright was soon elected Colonel of his
Regiment, tbe Third Georgia, and by
his gallantry, military talents and fidelity
to doty, was first promoted Brigadier
General, then Major General in the eer-
vloe. He aervtd on many sanguinary
field* and was severely wounded in one
of the bloodiest battles of the war.
“Disabled by hie wounds. General
Wright returned home, end wan elected
to the State Senate, end President of the
Senate, serving one term in that high
offloo. At the close ot the war, he be-
came a reaidant of Anguita, while he re
sumed end continued in the eotive prac
tice ot hie profession, until hie last ill-
a***. Of distinguished legal abilities,
and fino oratorial powers, he maintained
a high rank at tha bar, and aohieved
marked eucoese as elawysr,
“Superedded to hisprofeseional labors,
he filled, with much ts'ent, toot end
good judgment, the responsible position
ot Eilitor-ia-Ohiet of the AugastaCftro*-
icle and Sentinel, one ot the foremost
dailies ot the South. He had but re
cently completed an arduous and tri
umphant canvass as Democratic candi
date for Congreas, in the Eighth Con
gressional District, daring which he
labored inoeauntly, and made brilliant
and efloolivo speeches in every county
in the District. His election in Oetober
by a very decisive majority was a splen
did tribute to his abiHUsa, and proof of
publio confidence in his fitness for the
position.
* 'General Wright was a native of Jeffer
son county, Georgia, where he com
menced bis professional career and be
came early distinguished by his oratory,
hi* legal acumen, and cloae attention to
professional business. He moved to
Richmond county about fourteen years
ago, and has been, during that period,
one of tho most active and influential
citizen*.”

We have received from an eminent
Presbyterian Minister, at Lexington,
Vs., a communication setting forth a
proposition of Bev. Isaac W. K. Handy,
to pnbliah a journal of prison life from
dally notes ot a long confinement in
Fort Delaware, during the war. At one
time during Mr. Hand^s imprisonment
there were confined Vn that prison
alone, over ten thousand Oonfedantes.
If sufficient encouragement is offered
him ha Trill publish it in book tons. It
will, perhaps, make over five hundred
page*, and will bo highly intonating,
not only to those poor feUow-enfferart of
bis, but to the country et Urge. He done
not ptopoe* to puDliah it in any spirit of
mahee or to awaken unpleasant recollec
tion* of tho past, bnt a* a matter of in-

looking in oxperienoo and extraordinary
Intelligence, to arrogate nnto himeolf e
knowledge of what will oocur or whet is
beat, in matters on whioh his readers
have the same data on whioh to rest their
judgment as himself, we think jt simply
a disgusting presumption.
Bo, dear reader, unless wo are guarded
well by foots that will render our posi
tion an unassailablo one, wo do not and
■hall not venturo to advise how or whst
yonr position shall bo on any question.

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel ot
yesterday reached us last night, clad in
the habiliments of mourning for its lute
lamented oditor, General Ambroso Ruu-
somo Wright. Ia ndditlon to the sad
Intelligence already printed concerning
this pnblio calamity, we appoud tho final
obsequies oopied from that paper :
In less than an hour after the spirit of
General Wright had taken its flight for
the land
Beyond the river,"
tbe sad intelligcnoa had reaohed every
oirclo in Ibis city, and the uniform ex
clamation was: What a loss to his family
—this oommnnity, and State I
Tbo morning pepers were eagerly
songht in ordor to ascertain the honr ap
pointed for tho funeral services—12:30,
1', m. By high noon vast crowds began
to weud their way to the late residonoo
of the deceased.
Numbers, both white and colored,
passed solemnly around tile remains of
the departed chieftain and statesman,
looking for tho lsat timo here, in grief
and in sympathy, upon tho faco which,
in life, never turned from duty, and in
the ioy embrnco ot death boro tho im
press of resignation.
At about 1 o'clock, r. ii., the procca-
■ion having been formed on McIntosh
street, moved off in thu following order:
Sabre Olub, Liout. John W. Clark,
commanding.
City Police, Chief J, A. Christian,

At every crossing on the doloroo* way
to the City of the Dead crowds of whtte
and colored persons assembled to pay
mate respect to ono who had fearlessly
and faithfully illustrated Georgia wher
ever and whenever duty called.
Tbe Sabbath, in ita impressive quiet
ude, appeared afitting day for the burial
of our lamented lellow citizen. The sun
shone out in all hu splendor, but tho
gloom whioh tbe General's death caused
teemed to rob hia riya of their efful
gence.
Among the distinguished citizens
present to pay the last aad tribute to the
memory of the deceas'd, were Oovernor
Charles J. Jinkins, Bishop Qniutard, of
Tfuneaaee; Go.e-raur Herschtl V. Johu-
aou, General Toombs, General Kershaw,
of South Carolina; W. Hop. Hull, Esq ,
Judge Gould, H<m. H. W. Hilliard,
James Gardner, Esq, Judge Gibson,
‘ “ ” * Twiggs, and others
hversaw. Need I mure him ?
Tho most alarming fact to the fi ionds
of the Federal system of Government as
opposed to the single or consolidated
system, at this stage of onr history, is the
weakening of professed Democrats opt'S
t.ie fundamental tenets of Democracy as
authoritatively expressed by Jefferson.
Aa long aa Democrats are earnest, manly
and ontspokon, tho very antagonism be
tween the two systems will result in a
just equipoise. Alas I the war of arms,
which Mr. Stephens with all tne elo
quence of his nature, strove to avert by
opposing secession, has given a
feurful ndvantsgo to the advocates of the
Single System m this conflict of theo
ries. And no V wh< n Democrats should
display tho greatest heroism in their
advocacy, they exhibit only wean des
pair. This is trno of the whole countrv;
and the patriot looks in vain to tho hulls
of Congress lor a Democrat who, by the
greatness of his ii '-llect, tbe purity of
his character, the intensity of his zca'
and the extent of his fame can cham
pion the oause of liberty, stem tbe tide
of despotism and bring back the
country to its prestino freedom.
In Jilr. Stephens, Georgia can furnish
to tho cause of liberty such a man. In
all the attributes that belong to greatness
he is tbe greatest living American.
Whether as the orator, the statesman,
or tho man, ho stands pre-emineut;
and in every eharactcr the olear r tverj
light of truth is the soul of his sue reus.
As an oratur, he jssjmply wonderful. His
fame as such is aa wide us the continent.
Its power, as displayed iu his Congres
sionsl career, compelled tho admiration
of every one. When his shrill, clarion
voice said “Mr. Speaker,-” evory other
sound was hushed iu that turhuleut Con
gress. Tho listless became animated,
tho reader laid aside bis paper, tho
writer his pen, the whisperers forgot
their subjects, and, every car attent,
heard but tho porsuoaive voice of the
fragile Georgian. His reputation as a
statesman is not only Amcrioan, but
trans-occanio. Not too conservative to
be weak, nor too extreme to be rasb, his
whole history shows a Washington-like
balance of mind on whioh every patriot
can res'. It is like tho shadow of a
great rock in a weary land. Truth-
fun lair :ntal principle—is tho rock on
which ho stands and knows no variable
ness or shadow of turning; yot, in all
ipuestions of policy, consistent witn
tiutb, no politician is more adroit or
sagacious iu popalar issues.
Georgia’s position in tho recent cam-
Daign wss manly. Mr. Greeley was
foroed upon her, but she repudiated the
failure of the Baltimore phuto.m, and
re-aaseitod her faith in her principles.—
Let her new vindicate her position as
the Empire State ot the Sonth by send
ing to the Senate the g.catest living
Amerioan. This she owes to liberty. Iu
another article, I desire, with your per
mission, Messrs. Editors, to show how
she owes it to Mr. Stephens,and ospeoial-
ly to herself, as it appears at least to
One of tbe People.

leans. 01 Thr* luMiD « P«P«s in New Or-

hmt> Mr ' Stephens does not be
how» aC ftCtlon * n tbe matter right, bat
thr are 8 efc thu error except
cQgh the courts ? Tbia action is basei
g>on tht- reconstruction laws, and which
*e most submit to as long as they have
tho form of law, and which Mr. Stephens
8*ys “I hold and ever shall hold to be
utterly unconstitutional.” Bat, says he,
“in accordance with tho views I’ve given
yon, so long as they are held to be laws,
they should be obeyed, as they are ex
pounded by those clothed with judicial
powers over them.”
Hus not the Tel&jraph gone a long ways
beyond this? Has it not advised a sno-
mission to and recognition of the recon
struction laws, and not to make further
opposition. The Telegraph was one of
the warmest supporters of the Cincin
nati movement, which was to pnt a final
quietus to any agitation of tbe question.
Mr. Btephens’ phn is to submit to them
until declared unconstitutional by the
proper forum, the courts. Is it not the
part of every good oitizen to submit to
the laws as long as they are on the statute
books, and if he believes them unwar
ranted by the Constitution, to carry them
into tho courts tor a proper costitution.
Does the telegraph propose to nullify
the action of Judge Durell under the
reconstruction acts, or if not, iu what
way does it propose to get around its ac
tion and the support given him other
than Mr. Stephens proposes ? If this is
Mr. Stephens’ only sin, we see no reason
‘‘why he is not the man for tho place.”
Tl*e next Spoakc’,
Editors Atlanta Sun: I nominate Col.
E. F. Hoge, of this city for the important
office of Speakor.of the House of Rep
resentatives in tho next Legislature. He
was.by far;thei&blcBt man among all who
temporarily fc occnpied tho Chair daring
the cession. He is a rising statesman of
great intellectual power and rare worth,
and in my iudamenf, will be without a
peer for ability aj a Legislator and as a
residing officer in tbe next Legislature,
o is eminently fit for this distinction,
deserving and worthy. I trust this mo
tion, which I make of my own accord,
without tho knowledge of Colonel Hoge
or any one else, will* bo seconded ana
adopted; and in making it, I have no
ptnonil Midi to subocrvo.

The above from the Telegraph <ft Messen
ger of Sunday, ii bat a fair sample of
tfio injustice that ia being done Mr.
Stephen* in variona quarters. The
Telegraph could’nt wait to get tho full
report of what Mr. Stephens did say,
bnt taking tho understanding of a gentle
man who heard him, and who very pro
bably misunderstood, the editor hurries
to hia sanctum and announces to ita
readers that if Mr, Stephen* said ao and
ao, he is not tin. man tor United Seates

tbia fair or jnstf Ii it rignt to make un
