THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: MAY 22, 1877.
The people of Augusta are stirred
up miglitly about the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad.
South Carolina now breathes free
and easy at the final departure of
Chamberlain.
Mr. Boykin Wright of Augusta de.
livcred a most chaste and elegant ad
dress last Tuesday, at the opening of
the annual Scheutzenfest of that city.
Gregg Wright says, the most in
telligible war map is that of the New
York Tribune, of a recent date, which
was pulished upside down.
The war between the Turks and
Russians grows hotter still, and as
says the New York Journal of Com
merce : “ It now looks as if Russia
has determined to settle once and
forever the questions at issue between
her and the oppressors of her Chris
tian allies hy wiping the Mohamme
dan power from the map of Europe,
and thus realizing the dream of Mus
covite ambition.”
News in Brief.
—A. J. Willard has been elected
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of South Carolina, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of F. J.
Moses.
—Jack Brown and J. E. Bryant
two noted Georgia republicans, had
a fight recently in the treasury de
partment at Washington. Both were
seeking to control Federal appoint
ments from Georgia.
—Fairfield county South Carolina
lias elected Messrs. Gaillard and
Bryce, democratic representatives
to the legislature, hy a majority esti
mated at from 1,200 to 1,500.
—Hon. Hugh McCulloch, ex-Sec-
retary of the Treasury, says that in
no branch of industry are the people
of the United States behind Euro
peans except in farming.
—A fire occurred in Gold street,
New York yesterday—loss $50,000.
The Ilostetter German bitters build
ing was on fire, and hopes are enter-
tained that the man who paints the
concern’s cards on fences was con>
sumed in the flames.
—The forest fires north and north-
\yest are raging, and many narrow
escapes are recorded. White Moun
tain has been in flames, and the great
hotels at Summit were in danger,
but the flames there have been
stayed.
—A riot among the miners is in
progress on a California gulch. The
miners seized W. H. Stevens and two
others, and have them under strong
guard. Stevens, and other Detroit
capitalists, had failed to pay the
miners. Stevens was to have been
lynched last Sunday, but the affair
was postponed.
—Rumors have been rife in Wliash-
ington that Attorney General Devons
was about to resign and that Senas
tor Gordon would he appointed to
a position in the Cabinet. Both gen
tlemen denounce the reports as
absolutely without foundation. Sen
ator Gordon is. v.ery indignant at
such use of his name and attributes
it to the malignity of his enemies
and rivals at home.
—Savannah News says, Colonel
Robert Tyler, son of the late ex-Pres-
ident Tyler, lias written a long letter
in vindication of the administration of
present embarrassed financially con- his father> H e says: “The truth is,

Farmers, people of this section of
Georgia, what think you of this?
There was sold one day last week to
the groce: s and provision dealers in
Athens, for the benefit of their trade
in this section, principally amongst
the farmers, twenty-one car loads of
corn, making more than eight thou
sand bushels. Is it possible for any
country to prosper under this condi
tion of affairs? At no distant day, a
fatal experience, when it is too late
to stay the calamity to our whole
country, will fiirnish the answer.
What has become of the movement
to make a city park at the new min
eral spring? This is an enterprise
our citizens should by no means let
fail. Nothing is more needed in our
city, and the comfort and happiness
it would afford to the whole com
munity may he readily ascertained
and fully estimated by taking into
account the numerous visitors to this
spring every morning and afternoon.

At the recent “Annual Merchants’
Banquet” in New York City, given
hy the Chamber of Commerce of the
State of New York, Mr. Samuel D.
Babcock, President of the Chamber,
in a speech made on that occasion,
gave utterance to the following sen
tence, “ I feel hound to say, that at
no previous period in the history of
the last thirty years, has the business
of the country been more depressed
and unsatisfactory than at the pres
ent time.” There certainly must he
some great, unjustifiable cause for so
great and serious a calamity upon
the country, one which we must con
clude might and should be remedied,
since there now exists in the country
greater advantages and opportunities
for improvement, prosperity and
advancement, than at any previous
period within the past ten or fifteen
years of our history. We will have
something to say on this subject *at
another time.
—The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily News says—“1 have read a
letter from a person for some years in
close connection with Turkish govern
ment circles. The letter says the
Grand Vizier is losing his head and
Salvet Pacha is at a loss what to do.
There are frequent councils at which
already hints are thrown out as to
whether it would not be better to treat
with the Russians before they cross the
Danube.’’ The Memorial Diplomati
que states that the Bey of Tunis, who
was summoned by the Sultan to send
a contingent, has excused himself on
the score of financial inhability, but
will allow his subjects to join the
Turks as volunteers.
It lias already been surmised that the
Russian fleet in the Atlantic waters
was sent there to keep watch on the
British merchant marine if Geat Brit-
ian should undertake to interfere in
the Eastern scrimmage, and now it is
telegraphed all the way from London
to one enterprising journal that the
Russian raen-of-wur now at San Fran
cisco are to attack and seize British
Columbia just as soon as Great Britian
is drawn into the trouble.
A Scotch clergyman was seen by a
neighbor trudging home on Monday
morning with a stout cod he had just
bought, and was accosted with. “ Mr.
Duncan, did yau know that that fish
was caught on Sunday ?” The minis
ter, in his characteristic blunt manner,
replied, “Well, Well, the fish is not
to blame for that, my man. ”

The dilfercnt editions of Tut Sun during the
next year will be the same as during the year
that lias just passed. The daily edition wifi
week days be a sheet of lour pages, aud ou
Sundays "a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad
columns; while the weekly editiou will he a
sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions
and character that are already familiar lo our
friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom, aud
integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and
fraud in the administration of public affairs. It
will contcud for tfaj government of the people
by the people ai d for the people, as opposed to
government by trauds iii the ballot-box and in
the counting of votes, ^enforced by , military
violence. It will endeavor to supply’its reader’s
—a body now not far from a million of souls—
with the most careful, complete, aud trustworthy
uecouuts of current events, and will employ for
this purpose a numerous nnd carefully selected
staff of reporters aud correspondents. Its re
ports from Washington, especially, will be full,
accurate, and fearless; and it will doubtless
continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred ot
those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or
by usurping what the law does not give them,
while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of
the public by defending the rights of the people
against the encroachments of unjustified power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents a
mouth or $6.50 a year, post paid, or with the
Suuday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20
a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 50 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of $1 a year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by
individual subscribers without the necessity of
making up clubs. At the same time, if any of
our friends choose to aid in extending our circu
lation, we shall be grateful to them, uud every
such person who sends us ten or more sub
scribers from one place will be entitled to one
copy of tlic paper for himself without charge.
At one dollar a year, postogi paid, the expenses
of paper and printing arc barely repaid; and,
considering the size of the sheet and the quality
of its contents, we are confident the people will
consider The Weekly Sun the cheapest news
paper published in the world, and we trust also
one of the very best.
