The New York Sun, in comment ing upon the letter, says : “Governor Tilden’s letter of accep tance is the strongest,, clearest,, ablest, most statesmanlike, most suggestive, and most satisfactory po litical document that has been laid before the public within a long peri od of mind, keenness of perception, and fullness of knowledge in the discus sion of the great political questions of present public interest. It is agreeable, in these times, to peruse a paper of such a character from a pub lic man. Ilaye’s small, narrow, and commonplace letter was a marked contrast to it In every respect. *'Gov. Tilden’s letter is as bold as it is perspicacious. He shirks none of the issues of the day. He indulges in no evasions, tricks of language, or pre tences of any kind. His friends will he strengthened by the study of it, and Ids assailants will 'find in it no point which they can shako. “Governor Tilden accepts, strength ens and illustrates the various impor tant articles of the St. Louis platform on which lie stands, and to the more important of them lie gives a force and definiteness which are made all the more strikingly by bis elucida tion of the ways in which' they can be practically applied in the conduct of the government.” Absenteeism among the Demo cratic members of Congress has reached such a disgraceful point that the Radicals can at least neg atively control the House, thereby effectually blocking legislation not agreeable to the corruptionists. It is by no means to the credit of these Democratic absentees that a majority of them are at home •working for a renomination. A Democratic Congressman, it seems to us, could, with far more justice to himself and his constituents, base his claims to their support upon the fact that he remained at bis post in the discharge of his du ty than by liippodroming around his district in person. — Savannah ; Sews. Tile Colon’ll People. ,100 Howard, a prominent leader of tho colored people, writes us a let ter, asking if the colored people will bo allowed to co-operate with the whites in selecting a suitable candi date to run on tho Democratic ticket for the Legislature. Wo do not pub lish the letter becauso it is unneces sary. Our answer to him and through him to tho entire colored population is that the Democratic party is anx ious to enlist in its ranks a!! colored meu, who will unalterably stand by tho Democratic banner and lock shields at the election with the whites against that common enemy of peace and prosperity, Radicalism and the Republican Party, All colored De mocrats are welcomed to our nomina ting convention, and all Republicans who will renounce the Republican party, which has become too roguish and mean for an honest colored man to belong to, and stand by the nomi nee, will also bo welcomed and given ali the privileges that a white man has. Come one, come all and be Demo- crats with us. Leave tne Republi can party. It is a combin',Hon of thieves, villifiers and corrujrPouists. It lias stolen vast sums of money from the white man, the colored man • and the poor Indian. It has murder ed colored men to carry elections, and been guilty ot every political crime known to any age or any peo ple. Joe Howard, you and all the hon est men in the Rcpubliuan party, come out of that party that has ca joled you, fooled you, swindled you, and stolen from you, and join the Democratic Party, which will look to your interests and sec that all your rights and privileges are pro tected. It is the party of honest men, the party of respectability. Spurn W. 11, Harris and all his wick ed band of thieves and insurrection ists. Follow him and he will lead you to the gallows or the penitenti ary, 'A'S.4>A5iS^. The Radical papers of the loyal North are disposed to unload Boss Giant. B!iiibrd Wilson, late so licitor of the Treasury, testified before the Congressional Commit tee that the boss did all that he could to protect tho whiskey thieves, after 1 e found that his Private Secretary, Babcock, was implicated. The 'Tribune says of the disclosure made by Wilson : “It is a story, that the Ameri can people would be glad to dis believe, if it were not that the character of the mail who gave it forbids. It shows the President casting frequent obstacle in the path oi the prosecution of the whis key trials-—sending for Major Wil son, getting from him the evidence against Gen. 7?abcock and commu nicating it to the latter the same day—and in other ways shielding men pursued by the law. It dis closes him as the real author of the letter to district attorneys, discour aging witnesses, which Mr. Pierre pont took upon his To make the matter worse, it also shows that he retained Babcock af. ter he had learned his real charac ter, allowed him to hold his place as Commissioner, and affront the dignity of the Senate of the Uni ted States'by sending as his mes senger to that body a man whom he knew to have betrayed his con fidence, and to have engaged in a ; plot disgraceful to all who were in any way connected with it. Last! of all it makes General Babcock's share in the Black Friday conspir acy which heretofore has been kept from the public eye.” Children die in Now York as sand dies die on summer evenings. The wife of an undertaker told a icpoit er last week that she had with her own hands prepared 130 infants for 1 burial in three clays. From die .Savannah Morning News, A COS TEA' miiCIUII'.IKYJ Samuel Weller would say of (he (Secretary of the Navy that lie is very “costive.” If lie he worth j anything like what lie inis cost, 1 is value is I'ai greater than m *st of! his fellow politicians. Air. Whit- i tliorne, Chairman of the Conunit tho on Nayal affairs, mtslo a state ment on presenting his report, in which he says: As to the attempt, an the part of the Secretary of the Navy to show tho present effec tiveness of the navy, lie put against, his statements those of the Admiral and all of the chief offi cers of the navy. It was sustained only by the testimony of Isaiah llariscoin. tho Chief Construe 1 © and lie would show that this man was not a reliable witness. He charged that during the adminis tration ot Secretary Robeson there had been squandered needlessly in skilled labor, $3,000,000; in un - skilled labor, §3,000,000; in loss on contracts without completion, §4,000,000; in wastage of timber. §1,000,000; in loss on purchase without competition, §5,000 000; in ships, material, etc., §5,000,000; in misdirect and unnecessary work and labor, $8,000,000, and in the .purchase of unnecessary timber, §2,000,000; aggregating die vast, sum ot §31,000,000, a sum iiifßoieut to have built eigh'cen ships of 2,000 tons, 30 ships ot 1,000 tons, or 60 ships of 050 tous, s? that it tho Sec retary of the Navy had used his funds economically, there might he now more new vessels in the Navy than there are vessels alto gether on the navy register,” ——<• The Dalton Citizen learns from a responsible source that a very strange freak in nature occurred at Rock Spring, Walker count;/, Georgia, last week, A lady gave birth to a child with two heads, which had a part of two bodies joined together at tho shoulders, two heads and only' one set of bow els. Protruding from between the heads was an arm, attached to which was a hand with ten fingers. The other two arms on either side of this double-headed child w-.re perfectly natural and very sym metrical, It had only two legs which were also fonned and nat ural in appearance. The heads of t’.iis wonderful child were perfect in shape and the faces exceedingly beautiful. It was a female and did not live. A New York letter says: *lO say that Governor Tilden’s letter gives universal satisfaction to the Democracy is probably superflu ous; even John Kelly, who was |ic Governor’s bitterest personal ai)d political enemy before his nomi nation, declares tiiat it is all that it ought to be, and that if the Dem ocratic party cannot elect a /■’res ident on such a platform as he has here laid down, it might as well go into bankruptcy at once. I note this as a fair expression of the av erage opinion among the leaders of that class.” lmrtl Ronml-l'uSuiiiltms £>is tricl. Broad Street- June 23, 24, 25. Talbotton—July 1, 2.
