At 1:20 i*. it. Tuesday, ot Wt week,
in company with a couple ot friend*. was
boarded the down train on the (sa. E. K.

At Covington Si Broal Ax Hawkins, of
the Enterprise, made hi* appearance,
armed and equipped for the trip ; and
from that time on took charge ot not
only‘Our little party, blit the whole train,
Engineer Conductor, train hnpd* and all.
Nothing ot interest occurred on the
route till we reached Cainak, where we
atopped to take the Macon tVMn. Mr*.
Wright in charge of the httei. gave us a‘
good mpper for fifty cents. At eleven
r. m. we got aboard the Macon train,
which was born along by the Gadsden,
a splendid engine, which was in charge
of Joel Smith, an old friend, and ns a
matter of course, wo had a sate trip, -j
when his hand was hold oi the thrdUle.!
We arrived at our destination at 4 A. A.
Wednesday, and pM np at tho MoOonibb
Hotel, kept by C. Crfctchfield. After a
refreshing nap ot a few hours, we awoke,
took breakfast, and on looking aroundi
saw among the l>y-*tandern and guests
several delegates to the Uonventioft, and
among tho number Judge Seaborn C.
Hinson of Walton county, whom we
found Xn intelligent gcutlcinan, as well
a* a genial companion.
At 11 A. m., the Convention was called
to order. The business which claimed
the attention of the delegates, was con
ducted in harmony. (See proceedings

THE JOB IN THE NEW SILVER CURRENCY.
The Washington silver manta has not

'to get out $*5,600,0()0 of silver in place
of ih * fractional currency. The Bonaiu
V.aists it ajlpears liaVe persuaded the Sen

hill to provide for the substitution ot the
one dollar legal tenders by silver dollars,
which dollars aVo to he legal tenders to

except for custom duties. We need not

Bonanza hill last week nrpducul such an
effect on the London silver market, wliat

this second bill. Of course, the thing
would work splendidly for tfie ’lJonanzi

But tho Bdnanfaistr a¥c r.dl the proper

an enhancement of the value of their

displacement of a cheap and 'convenient
j currency for one that is* costly and in con

Eighteen hundred an seVei-ty-six is tho
Centennial year. It is also-the year in which
an Opposition House of Representatives, tho
first Since the' war, wn be in power at Wash
ington ; and the year of the twenty-third elect
tion of a President of the United States. All
of these events are sure to be of great interest
and importance, especially the two hitter; and
all of them and everything connected with
them w ill bo fully and freshly reported and
expounded in Tin Sun.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the lino of inquiry opened years ago
by The Sun, will sternly and diligently inves
tigate the corruptions and misdeeds of Grant’s
administration ; and it will, it is to be hoped,
iny tho foundation for anew and betti r period
In cur national history. Of all this The Sun
will contain complete and accurate accounts,
furnishing its readers with early and trustwor
thy information upon these absorr ing topics.
Tho twenty-third Presidential election, with
the preparations for it, will be memorable as
deciding upon Grant’s aspirations for a third
term of power and plunder, and still more as
deciding who shall be the candidate of the
party of Reform, and as electing that candi
date. Concerning all these subjects, those
who read The Sun , have the constant
means of being thoroughly well informed.
The Weekly’, Sen, which ,jias attained a
circulation of over eighty tho isand copies, al
ready has its readers in every State and Ter
ritory, and we trust that the year 1876 will
see their numbers doubled. It will continue
to be a thorough newspaper. All the general
news of the day will,be found in it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length when of mo
ment ; and always, Ae trust, treated in a clear,
interesting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to nralte tlie Weekly Sun the
best family newspaper in, the world, and we
shall continue to give jn its columns a largo
amttant of miscellaneous reading, such as sto
ffefe, tales, poems, scientific intelligence arid
agricultural information, for which We are not
able to make room iu our daily-'edition.. .The
agricultural department especially is one of its.
prominent features. The fashions are also reg
ularly reported in its columns; and so are the
markets of evtry kind.
The W eekly Sun, eight pages, with fifty
six broad columns, is only $1 20 a year, pos
tage prepaid. As this price barely repays the
cost of the paper, no discount can be made
fron this rate to clubs, agents postmasters, or
anyone.
The Daily Sun, a large four page newspa
per of twenty-eight columns, gives
news for two cents a copy.. Subscription, pos
tage prepaid, 55c a month or $6.50 a year.
