THE SITUATION IN MAINE.
They are in trouble up in the north
eastern comer of this mighty repub
lic. Sometime ago the people of
Blaine concluded, as Is their annual
silly custom, to elect a governor and
a legislature for the State. The re
publicans have a plurality in that
State, while the Democrats and the
greenback-laborers combined consti
tute a majority probably. However
that may he, the followers of Frye,
Blaine A Cos., probably carried a ma
jority of the election districts, elect
ing a majority of the legislature. The
trouble is that they are so nice and
particular in that region of seven
months winter, that if a man’s name
la not written precisely right on a
ticket, that ballot must be thrown
out; and it the managers of elections
don’t seal and certify, with Chester
held nicety, every return, etc., that
precinct must be thrown out.
Now it so happened that some of
these republican constituents didn’t
cross the I’s or dot the i’s, or were
otherwise not as particular in ortho
graphy as they might be. For in
stance, if John Smith got four votes,
and William Jones got three, and
Wm. Jones got two; yet John Smith
must be declared elected, though
William Jones and Wm. Jones be
the same man.
In this way it happened that Gov
ernor Galfelon, himself a democrat,
complying, it is claimed, with these
laws which republican legislators
had made, issued certificates so as to
have declared elected enough demo
crats to control the general assembly.
Well, the liege-men of Mulligan’s
Scan grew wrathy and vowed they
wouldn’t endure such usurpation.
The Fusionists, *. e. % the democrats
and greenbackers. declared they
weald stand by Governor Garcelon
to the last extremity. Trouble
threatened, civil war was apparently
Impending. A crisis and a clash
seemed inevitable.
In this state of affairs, Governor
Garcelon decided to submit the ques
tions involved to the supreme court
judges. They accordingly met and
decided Saturday in favor of the posi
tion assumed by the republicans.
The latter are jubilant, while the
democrats are oppositely effected.
Governor Garcelon appears to be
gritty. He says that he will main
tain the position which he first as
sumed; that the decision of the court
may be taken for future guidance,
but that he has already acted as he
understood the law and does not pro
pose to change his attitude toward
the incoming legislature.
And so affairs stand. At this writ
ing, the legislature has not yet as
sembled, and we cannot tell the re
sult of these deliberations and cau
cusings. Both sides seem determin
ed and are ready to back their men.
There is talk of mob violence. The
militia may he called out. In iact,
they seem about to have a big,
glorious old family row in the great
State of Maine and Blaine.
What is Vanderbilt Worth ?
The Nashville Aamerioan says:
“Vanderbilt may be a much richer
man than is generally believed. He
told a reporter that he was selling only
about half of his holding, so that he
must have had about 500,000
shares of Central alone, which is
worth 165,000,000. And to this the
controlling interest in the Lake
Shore, with its capital of $50,000,000;
Michigan Central with its $20,000,000,
aud Canada Southern, with its $15,-
000,000, to say nothing of his vast
outside interest in the Western Un
ion, Wagner Car Company, Mer
chants* Dispatch Transportation
Company, and $5,000,000 in four per
cents; and it will readily be seen that
he could sell out for considerably
more than $100,000,000.*’
He ought to be good to his broth
ers and Bisters.
—The late Senator Geo. S. Hous
ton, of Alabama, was a native of
Williamson county Tenn., he was
born Jan, 17, 1811. His parents re
moved ere long to Lauderdale coun
ty, Alabama. He studied law and
practiced first at Florence. In 1832
he was elected to the legislature, and
nine years afterwards to a seat in
congress. He was in congress nearly
twenty years. Four years ago he
Ml inaugurated Governor of Ala
bama, and was largely instrumental
‘in settling the state debt by a com
promise as nearly just as could have
been expected. Ho had rendered
but little service in the senate.

SOUTRERN REPUBLICAN PLANS
It hag not yet been definitely set
tled whether or not the republican
party will during this year organise
in the entire south. They haVe had
so regular organization in Georgia
for some time. It is urged on the
one hand by some of that party that
it is due to those who wete haasre
enough to go with a small minority
in southern politicals give theffi such
aid from the north as will enable
them to porfect a permanent organi
zation; that the party should be
thoroughly aroused, and, if possible,
rejuvenated: and that probably some
States, and more congressional clis
tricts,may be carried by the republi -
cans so organized in the fall elec
tions.
On the other hand, others say that
the southern end of the party is not
yet strong enough to sail under its
own colors: that their true policy is
to support, with all their zeal, Inde
pendent candidates who oppose the
Democratlc party, and thus, by aid
ing internal schisms to overthrow
the p&fty, accomplish what they
could not by open attack —the defeat
of democracy.
These are the views held by the
two factions—on the southern ques
tion—of the republican party. It
has not yet been decided which shall
prevail; In our own congressional
district, which seems to attract a
good deal of attention from republi
can headquarters, that has som J good
men, who are both honest and capa
ble. It would seem that where Hayes
got some five thousand votes in 1876,
they might stand a chance of elect
ing their man. But as the democratic
party in this district has already been
defeated three successive times, why,
republicans may say, is there any
necessity for us to fight openly t
We anxiously await the solution of
this problem. The democratic party
may well prefer an open antagonist
to a designing foe. When an enemy
sails under his own colors, you know
when, where and whom to fight: but
you can hardly be prepared to resist
the assassin, who, meeting you in the
dark and pretending to point you out
your way, stabs you in the back.
GOV. HAMPTON VINDICATED.
Our readers have been advised of
the unfortunate personal differences
existing between the gallant Hamp
ton and Gen. M. W. Gray, who is
spoken of as a candidate for governor
in Bouth Carolina. These differen
ces, if they lead to the dismember
ment or serious division of the dem
ocratic party of our sister state, would
be almost the greatest possible ca
lamity that could befall her now
happy and prosperous people. Ev
ery effort should be made to reconcile
these noble sons of Carolina, who are
in every sense par nobilefratrum .
One charge against Senator Hamp
ton is that he sold out the state to
Hayes after the last presidential
election. But the News and Courier
publishes an emphatic denial of this
by associate justice McGowan and
ex-Judge Haskell, who declare that
the democrats of South Carolina, un
der the leadership of General Wade
Hampton, made every effort to insure
the success of the democratic electoral
ticket in 1876. The letters are pub
lished to refute a recent statement of
General M, W. Gray to the effect
that General Hampton wanted the
democratic electoral ticket abandoned
In South Carolina: General Mc-
Gowan, after reciting many facta to
prove the sincerity, good faith and
activity of the democratic electors for
the state of South Carolina in the
presidential canvass, and that Til
den and Hendricks were not deserted,
adds: “Under these circumstances it
is mortifying to fail, if that be the
result; it is mortifying to fail by a
mere handful of votes —less than five
hundred ; but it is still more morti
fying, because it is unjust, to be told
that the state gave a lukewarm sup
port to Mr. Tilden, and was lost to
the national democracy by the bad
‘policy’ of one who was not an elec
tor, but a candidate for governor.”
No one who knows the dashing
and chivalrous Hampton could ever
doubt his fealty to the state he had
contributed so largely to pluck from
the rapacious jaws of radicalism.
—Property in our section is daily
appreciating. The lately discovered
boom in financial circles has had its
immediate effect upon our section of
country. People have more money,
have Just made better crops, and are
better satisfied generally than at any
time for several years. Asa natural
Consequence, real estate generally has
gone up. Farms are in demand and
can be easily sold for goodly sums.
It now seems that the vast mineral
resources of our eonutry will soon
begin to be developed. When this
desirable improvement takes place,
our glorious old county of Bartow
will take her place as the banner
county of the banner southern state,
to which position the native richness
of her soil, and the sterling character
of her people justly entitle her.

A MIRACLE.
Gents:— My daughter was taken on the2sth
dayot .Tune, 1863, with what Was supposed to
be Acute Rheumatism, and was treated for the
same with no success. In March, following,
pieces of bone began to work out of the right
arm, and continued to appear till all the
bone from the elbow to the shoulder joint came
out. Many pieces of bone came out of the
right loot and leg. The case was then pro
nounced one of White Swelling. After hav
ing been confined about six years to her bed,
and the case considered hopeless, I Was in
duced to try Dr. Pemberton’s .Compound Ex

with its effects that I have continued.nse of the
it until the present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about
six years before she sat up or even turned over
without help. She now sits up all day, and
sews most of her time—has walked across the

THE SUN for 1:880.
The Sun will deal with the events of the vear
1880 in its own fashion, now pretty woll under
stood by everybody'. From January! to O'
cember 31 it will be conducted as a nows pa -
per, written in the English language, and
priuted for the people.
As a newspaper, The Sun believes in .get ting
all the news 01 the world promptly', ahd pry
senting it in the most intelligible Jiape—the
shape that will enable its rentiers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least unproductive
expenditure of time. The greatest interest to
the greatest number—that is the law' controll
ing Its daily make-up. It now hhs a circula
tion? very much larger than that of any other.
American newspaper, and enjoys ail income
which it is at s,ll times prepared to spend lib
erally lor the benefit of its readers. People of
all conditions of life and al t way.: of thinking
buv and read The Sun; and they all derive
satisfaction of some sort Irom its columns, for
they keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun
believes that the only guide of policy should
be common sense, inspired by genuine Ameri
can principles and backed by honesty of pur
pose. For this reason it is, arid will continue
to be, absolutely independent of party, class,
clique, organization, or interest. It is for all,
but of none. It will continue to praise what is
good and reprobate what is evil, taking care
that its language is to the point and plain, be
yond the possibility of being misunderstood.
It is uninfluenced by motives that do not ap
pear on the surface; it has no opinions to soil,
save those which may be had by any pun base,
for two cents. It hates injustice and rascality
even more than it hates unnecessary words. It
abhors frauds, pities fools, and deplores nin
compoops of every species. It will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise the first
class, instruct tile second, and, discountenance
the third. All honest rrten, v/ifli honest con
victions, whether sound or mistaken, are its
friends. And The Sun makes no bones of tell
ing the truth to its friends and about unfriends
whenever occasion arises fdr plain Speaking,
These are the principles upon which The
Sun will be conducted during the ycarto come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patri
otic American can afford to close his eyes to
public.affairs. It is impossible to exaggerate
the Importance of the political events which it
