MR. STEPHENS AND A UNITED DEMOCRACY. H BKBTT Hit.t, OrAWFOKDYILLH, Ga.,
In another column of our iueue to-day
will be found the Address of Mr. Stephens
to the ‘ lectors of the 8th Congressional
I)istr.i:t, iu which he announces publicly
bis acceptance of the nomination ten
dered him by the meeting of quite alnrge
num’irr of dietinguished citizens and
Representatives held in th ; s city on the
23d of January.
Mr. (Stephens in his Address refers only
in general terms to those distinguished
gentlemen of the District, whose names
have been mentioned or proposed as
candidates for this office, and who were
present at this meeting. An a matter
deserving permanent record, we think it
proper here to give such of them an were
pnblisi od in the daily papers nt the
time—hut which we believo have not
heretofore been given to our weekly
readers.
We refer specially in this connection
to Col. J. D. Mathews, John C. Reid,
Col. E. II. Pottle and Hon. James S.
Hook.
We, for the same reason, give the
names of the Senators lrom the 8th Dis
trict who were in the meeting. These
wore:
J. G. Cain, of tho 18tb Senatorial Dis
trict.
Columbus Heard, of tho 19th Senato
rial Dial riot.
John N. Gilmore, of the 20th Senato
rial District.
Wm. M. 1;eks>e, of tho 29th Senatorial
Di.-triet.
Robert Hester, of the 30th Senatorial
District.
The members of the House of Repre
sentatives in the meeting, with their
eonnties, are as follows:
Columbia—S. C. Lambkin and W.
McLean.
Elbert—J. L. Heard.
Gascoek—Abraham Brassel.
Hancock—George F. Pierce, Jr.
Hurt—M. Turner.
Jt flVrsou—Marcus Evans and James
Stapleton.
Johnson—Robert J. Hightower.
Lincoln—W. D. Terr.
McDuflia—Alfred E. Sturgis.
Oglethorpe—J. F. Hurt and Willis
M. Willingham.
Richmond—W. A. Clarks, P. Walsh
and H. C. Foster.
Taliaferro—Samuel J. Flynt.
Warren—Charles S. Du Bosh and T.
N. Poolk. •
Washington—r. R. Taliafet.ro and
W. G. McBride.
Wilkes—Thomas A, Barksdale and
John W. Mattox. .
This meetiug or convention upon the
whole, was therefore, one of most mark
ed character, and had iu it an array of
ihtelllger.ee, virtue and talent, seldom if
over exhibited iu the State upon a like
occasion.
These fact wo here state barely to put
them upon record as part of the history
of the times, anu for the purpose of send
ing them forth to our weekly readers
with Mr. Stopheut,’Address.
The Addiess we take from tho Augusta
papers, to which it was sent for publica
tion.
Wo need hardly call special attention to
that. It is brief, but pointed, and covers
tho whole ground.
The LaGrange Reporter regrets very
much that there has been even a slight
opposition to Mr. Stephens’ election to
Congress, because, as one or two have
said, Mr. Stephens “bolted from the
Democratic party in the Presidential
campaign.” The Reporter goes on to
say that “it is a question not yet satis
factory settled, whether the Straights or
the Greelsyites did the holting.”
The present editor of the Reporter wae
a Greeley man, but he says “he has never
felt that there was any great cause lor
him to be proud of the course he took.
He has thought for a long time that per
haps the muss of the party bolted hum
Mr. Stephens, instead of that gentlemau
bolting from the party.
“Bat,” continues the Reporter, and to
which we direct the especial attention of
all our Democratic friends, “the Greeley
movement is dead, and we think it
should be allowed to rest in itB unhonor
ed grave. Whether a man teas far Gree
ley or (/ Conor, matters not note. Let us
dll form an united Democratic party, irre
spective of past differences."
We have italicised the sentences to
which wa direct the most particular at
tention, as expressing the sentiments of
Tna Sun. We shall not stop now to en
quire wbether a man was for Greeley or
not; the question is, “is he a good Dem
ocrat?” Behoving, as we do, that the
perpetuity of free government and the
maintenance of the principles of civil
lioerty depend upon the sucoeee of the
Democratio party, or the principles upon
wbieh that party rests, we shall oontinne
to give our best exertions to promote the
harmony and unity of that party.
This is most emphatically the position
of The Sun. Its devotion to the welfare,
prosperity and perpetuity of the Demo
cratic party, upon pure Jeffersonian
principles, shall never be questioned,
As the chief political editor of The Sun,
Mr. Stephens will labor for the great
and of Democratio unity. As a member
of Congress, none will be found more
staunch and unyieUling in the support of
the reserved rights of the States and in
the dsfausa of the liberties of the peo
ple.
February 5th, 1878. j
To ihe Electors rf the Eighth Congres
sional District of Georgia : The object of
thns addressing you is to make a formal
announcement that I am a candidate for
your suffrages at the approaching elec
tion, to be held on heilns.diy, the 2(uh
inst., to fill the vacancy iw« existing for
this District in the neat House of Rep
resentatives of the Congress of the Uni
ted States, which bse been occasioned by
the recent and much lamented death of
Gen. Amboae li. Wrigni.
On making this announcement it is
bat proper to state that in doing it, I am
yielding ’o a call with which, from its
uncaual and extraordinary character, I
do not feel at liberty, under a proper
sense of pnblic duty, to refuse a com
pliance.
That call, though informal under the
circumstances, (for reasons known to
you,) was made by a large number of the
most distinguished, us well as the most
truly representative men in the District.
It a as made by a meeting held in Atlan
ta, on the 23d of January, over which
Gen. Robert Toombs, of Wiises, presid
ed as Chairman, and at which Mr. Henry
Moore, of the Chronicle and Sentinel, of
Augusta, acted os Secretary.
Of the proceedings of this meeting you
have been very fully informed through
the public journals. Nothing further in
relation to theso need here be stated, ex
cept that the meeting embraced in its
members, either in person or by proxy,
every one whose name has been men
tioned os a Democratic candidate in
connection with this office so far as
I am aware. Their names need not be
here set forth. Most, if not all of them,
have sinoe spoken through the press giv
ing the action of that body their cordial
sanction.
This meeting also in like manner em
braced every Senator in the General As
sembly irom this District, and every
member of the House, I believe, except
one—the member from Hart. His place,
was filled, however, by another.
Besides this array the meeting was com
posed of quite a number of other most dis
tinguished citizens of the District, among
whom Btood prominent, Hon. Hers ihel
Y. Johnson, of Jefferson county; Maj
Joseph R. Gumming, of Richmond
county ;Cnarles E. McGreggor,ot Warren
county; Col. B. T. Evans and Hon. D.
W. Twiggs, of Washington oounty; Dr.
William Walton, Milton P. Reese and
S. H. Hardeman, of Wilkes county, and
H. G. Roney, of MeDnffie county
It was by this distinguished Assem
blage of the most Truly representative
men of the District, a unanimous call
was made upon me “to stand tor Con
gress” at the approaching election as sta
ted.
The present address to you, tho elec-
SPIRIT OF THE GEOROIA PRESS.
The last Savannah Rtpublican animad
verts upon the temper displayed by some
of its contemporaries in the dit mission Of
tho bond question.
Discussing the bond question, the
Covington Enterprise says, tuo Loud “ari
none other than the illegal, forged, unau
thorized aud therefore repudiated bonds
of this State, which one Rufus Bullock
caused to be executed and uttered. Bonds
which, before being negotiated, were ad
vertised by the State Treasurer, Mr. An-
gier, as being unauthorized aud illegal.
Bonds that the famous Heury Clews ne
gotiated, and on account of which Bullock
is now a fugitive from justice and Hi
v Himt*all some where on the wing.” The
Enterpi ise opposes the compromise for
these reasons:
1st. Because tlio alleged debt of Georgia, which
Mr. Sueed seek* to compromise lor his clients, is
not ani> never was an obligation oi the State, le
gal ob moral, and is noniore binding on tlin State
than a note or an obligation ot an individual, forged
by a second party and uttered without bis knowl
edge of consent, is hindirg upon the individual.
2ud. Because the State has iu the preservation of
her time honored integrity r.-pudiated mis base
foRuert by endorsing Governor Smith in Lis re-
election to tlie Executive chair, and by approving
the action of the Committee sent to iu/estimate tbe
matter-
ad Because if bound at all as a great State ott
ered ii must sutler more by yielding to this kind of
black mail, and compromising debts we do not
owe, than it would if we were to admit them and
pay the whole amount in ureas.
«th. Because the courts cuu bo opened by Legisla
tive action and these ••innocent” bond holders cau
aetju licate their claims in that way.

clusion in regard to tbe all-absorbing

nouncement of my candidacy, in com
pliance with riio request so made, it is
net deemed by me necessary to give auy
further exposition of the principles or

often and 60 recently proclaimed, as to
need no repetition at this time or on this
occasion.
Suffice it to say, that I am a Democrat,
of the “straightest sect,” of the Jeffuso-
man School of politics. In it I was
reared, and in it I expect to die. In this
School I imbibed a fixed faith in
“the capacity of man for self-govern
ment.” aud a firm belief that upon the
unswerving maintenance of the princi
ples of this great Apostle of Liberty,
rest, not only all future hopes for the
preservation oi our matchless systems of
Free Instiutions on this Continent, but
all sure hopes for the political redemp
tion of down-trodden and oppressed

Two members of the editorial staff ot
The Sun, one on business and one on
a fun excursion, find themselves to-day
in this quiet retreat, in happy forgetful-
neas of the confounding oarer) of edito
rial work, to which they have been for
some time devoted.
Aud just imagine as arrayed in our
very best “get np,” in beaver hats, kid
gloves, With fancy headed rattan nan or,
promenading the streets of this ancient
village, wnicb, despite its ripe old age
and somewhat dilapidated appearance,
is still the residence of a number of the
good old families, whose kind pnor to
the great unpleasantness constituted that
noble class of Southern society which was
admired and honored wherever met,
either at home or abroad. Again, as the
guests of one of the most delightful
homes, we are welcomed to such charm
ing hospitalities os will make this visit a
pleasant one to remember in the ever-
hereafter.
Oglethorpe is one of the honored coun
ties of oar good old commonwealth, for
having sent forth into public life, soma
of the noblest of the sons of whom
Georgia has had reason to be prond, with
in the past three-quarters of a century.
Among those no V living or who have
lived, in this county, we may mention,
Charles Strong, Gem Burril Pope, Gen.
Steward, Col. Aleck. Thomas, Hon.
W. H. Crawford, Honorable G. R.
Gilmer, Honorable Stephen Upson,
Judge T. Cotib, Governor Matthews,
Col. B. W. Hubbard, Capt. John Wynn,

W e meet the county officers here, all
of whom are advertising patrons of The
Sun. Capt a. R. Mitchell, the Ordinary,
has been complimented for his efficient
services during the last year, when he
was filling the-unexpired term of Mr. F.
J. Robinson, deceased, oy re-election to
a full term, comprising the next four
years. He is assisted clerically by Mr.
Paris Pace, and we have never seen books
more neatly or accurately kept. Sheriff
Booker Adkins and Deputy Sheriff M. H
Young, who now retire thoir offices, are
compliment'd universally for their offi
cial con due . The iucoming Sheriff,
I'homsg D. Jilham, Esq., enters upon
his duties wi h the full confidence of his
countrymen. •
We ineec Jso Mr. Geo. H. Lester,
Clerk of tbe Superior Court, who has
held this office, with the exception of
eight years, since 1839, and still he looks
as young anu vigorous as if he had never
seen uayligut beiore 1839.
We notice that the Ordinary, acting
under instructions of the Superior
Court, has had sign boards painted for
every cross-road in the county, giving
directions aud distances to the different
towns and stations. We were pieased
with the idea. It would oe a good
thing if every county in the State would
fullow suit in this regard. It will prove
a great benefit to strangers traveling
through the country. Another improve
ment we notice is the thorough repaiut-
of the old Court-house. It now has
tho appearance of a perfectly new Luild-
iug.
Crawford, heretofore known o' ly as
the R. R. Depot for Lexuigton is enlarg
ing its boundaries aud a number of resi
dences and storehouses have recently
been built. Tne business at this station
too has been u:erased very materially
withiiijjtne last year, and one merchant
here informs us ilia-, uiday 44 wagons from
the country have gone lrom the depot
and stores loaded with supplies and mer
chandise.
We visited to-day a na ural cariosity
on the lands of Mr. J. H. Echols, which,
it iu the vicinity of Niagra Falls or Ponce
de Leon Springs, would be paraded in
print as a wondrous freak of nature. An
immense rock about twenty feet long,
ten wide aud six in thickness and weigti-
iug perhaps a hundred tons, with a pro
jection from its under side, lies upon n
ledge of rocks. This projection L
so directly uuder the centre the
rock balances so perfectly that with
tue strength of one hand, the rock may
be made to swing or see saw, just as if it
were a board only. There is a tradition
relating to this rock; which is now im
posed upon strangers visiting the place ;
that if the rock moves when touched,
the one so moving it is loved.
We leave Lexington charmed with
our visit, aLd determined to repeat it at
some other time. E.
