VOL, 3, NO. 38( ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11,1873. W H O I. I SDHBIB 142 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.

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.

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 Peoples m all climes and countries.

Kditerlal Correspondence Lhxincwoh, Ga. , Feb. 4, 1873. 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, Maj. John Moore, Mr. Franois Meson, Mr. Benjamin Taliaferro, Dr. James S. Simms, Col. B, F. Hardeman, Col. W. G. Johnson, Dr. Swepson Cox, Col. John Billups, Gen. Jett Thomas, Maj. Frank Memvvetker. Hon. J. H. Echols, Dr. Cummings, Hon. J. D. Lumpkin, Rev. Jack Lumpkin, Rev. George Lumpkin, S. H. LumpEn. 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. GEORGIA—<>*lethor p» Caaatyi W HEREAS, Thomas J. Howard, guardian of B H.
