THE BUTLER HERALD duiMouraoM Paioi $1.50. Pm Ahotm. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 88th 1800. DEMOCRATIC^ TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT.' WINFIELD S. HANCOCK. OK PENNSYLVANIA. FOR VICE PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. ENGLISH, OF INDIANA. STATE HOUSB OFFICERS. For Attorney General—Clif ford Anderson, of Bibb. For Secretary of State—N. C. Barnett, of Fulton. For Comptroller—Wm. A. Wright, of Richmond. For Treasurer—D. N. Speer, of Troup. FOR GOVERNOR. ■ Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt. THE COVING ELECTION. It , '<fj*not bo many days before the TCuOof Georgia will be called upon Jo decide whether Gov. Col quitt or ex-senator Norwood shall till the Execetive Chair of our Mate, and inasmuch as either one of the gentlemen named will, in our judgement honestly and worth- i ly discharge the duties of that ex alted position, we see no reason why the supporters of either should grow wild or excited over the ques tion. We fear that in the heat of controversy assertions have been ■ made and acts performed that have wounded the feelings of men and to some extent produced es trangements between parties who have been life-long friendB. But while this is true we have no doubt that parties who have thus given cause of offence, have honestly and sincerely regretted the fact. In view of wuat has just been intended we sincerely hope that all barriers which have been thrown up between friends during the gu bernatorial campaign will after the election if not before, be broken down and hurried in oblivion. We can see no reason why our family quarrel should be perpetuated, and we trust it will not be. For our self, we shall bow cheerfully to the verdict of the people. Further more, it matters not what that verdict may be, we can and do promise that we shall not cherish one bitter feeling as an inheretnnee of the the campaign that will soou close. Moreover we have honest ly and faithfully endeavored, as we think our readers will bear us wit ness to write no word or sentence calculated to wound the feelings ot the most seusauve reader of the Herald. Finally, we make a last appeal to our readers for harmony and good feeling. There is not a single reason why democrats and personal triends should become excited aud estranged on account of the claims either of Gov. Colquitt or ex-sen ator Norwood. The election of neither one of these meo will compensate any of us fur the loss of a friend-ship that through sun shine and shade has stood the test of time. Let ns, during the re mainder of this campaign, when ever we are tempted to speak roughly or angrily to any one and especially a friend, and remember, that the time will speedily come when we shall lament onr folly and iff sack-cloth and ashes repent our haste, Our Next Congressman. Up to the present date there seems to be no opposition to Gen. (jok. The General has made a nember in Congress and his has been cordially approved ople of this District, as strated by the last *s made with. If or is this I We have dings of |ok enter- business generally; and we think therefore that Speaker Randall did no more than his duty in appoint ing the General chairman of one of the most important committees of the House, We are glad that his ellection is assured for the coun try could ill afford to loose his ser- vises and experience just at this time. “Old Warner" and the Alston Fee. Special to the Columbus Times] What an argument he makesl He admits that the Goveuor has the legal power to “make a con tract with lawyers to represent the the State,” and then declares that ‘Tom Norwood is too good a law yer not to know that * * * the lawyer acquires no lien by any such contract—’ ! And this too when the enabling act distinctly provides that the lawyer's fee shall be “contingent.” He, it seems, is not pood enough lawyer, to per ceive that the provisons of the law imposing this limitation of contin gency upon the foe, and its silence as to any other limitation, does in fact provide for the lien, Beeing that the mention of the one is the ex clusion of the other. The highest rule of construction —“the reason and spirit of th- law”—which Warne*—being a mere black letter scholhir—sticking in the bark did never have the ca pacity to understand—is all four against his construction. The ob ject of the law was—without crea ting any liberality on the part of the State, by providing that the fee should depend wholly upon Ilia suc cess in collecting them, to afford an inducement to an able and en terprising lawyer to prosecute and recover in behalf of the State, diffi culties and distant claims. If in addition to the contingen cy of the fee which the Governor as authorized agent for the State should contract to pay him, the Legislature had provided that the lawyer should have no lien on the money recovered, and be wholy de pendent upon future legislation for any compensation! whatever, nei ther Judge Warner, nor his friend “Tom,” nor any other competent and reliable lawyer in the State, would have made such a fool of himself as to have undertaken, in this behalf to serve the State. The object of the law and the “reason and spirit” of it alike, sweep away the last vestage of plausibility, in the discussion of the Supreme Court upon this sub ject, aDd leaves it a naked and ri diculous skeleton of petifogging malignity. There is not a trace of authority for the discussion. It is bare of all precedeot. There is hut one way to support it, and that is to hold that “a contract” with the Govern or under ihe statute is what War ner's document makes it no con tract at all! It i- nil assertion that a State can't bind itself by its au thorized agent, the Governor to pay for services rendered. If the contract is not good, as the usual lien, upon what principal is to be held good, in any port ot it > Ami if the lawyer has no lien until the ooatract is affirmed by subsequent legislation, it has no element of a contract. This is doubt less the plain, com mon-sense view of this subject which Judge Lumpkin took of it in the case of the claim of Powers 08 attourney for the central bank, to set oft' and retain his fee due him by the State. This case, as I understand it, from the reference of a member of the liar in the At lanta Constitution of the7th inet., goes a bom-shot beyond the Al ston fee case. In the case of Pow ers neither the Govenor nor the Legislature has pass-d upon his foes. If they had, Judge L'ump- kin says“that would have been an end to the business. But “Old Hiram” says that his friend “Tom thinks differently. Possibly he does, But Gov. Col quitt didn’t! And now what will you do about rt? Suppose I am wrong, aod Judge Lumpkin was wrong. At the time Colquitt paid ‘the Alston fee," the law stood as he construed it on records of the Supreme -Court. No harm was Hiram" and “Tom”—are doiug on a very small capital! Wonlif these men assassinate the GgSbi nof with a cambric needle? At moil their argument eonies to this — “Colquitt is not absolutely omnis cient and infallible.'’ He may be a “flawless diamond,” and yet have “qualities iu common with a broken glass bottle,” like “Old Warner” or his protege, “Tom,” etc. Vindex. and so the law could not rench him.

Ever since the report of Sam Hill’s escape from the lunatic asy lum at Miiledgeville, the Constitu tion has been on the qut viva for any information that might inter est the public, but up to the pres ent nothing has transpired calculat ed to indicate the result. Yesterday a representative of the Constitution happened to fall in with a gentleman who has seen and conversed with Hill since his escape. “Heard anything from Sain llill? ’ sn d the gentleman “No,” was the reply. “Have you?” “Yes; 1 was < n the train tlie other d ty when he got on at Red Uak. 1 knew him as soon as he boarded the train. There were two other gentlemen aboard who koew him, one a drummer for an A'lanta dry goods house and the ither a minister who had visited him in his sell during his confine ment.” “Did you talk with him, and what did he say?” “We 1, yes. Do you want to know wh it he said?” “Of course we do,” was the re ply, and the pencil-pusher began sharpening his pencil and drawing his note book. “Well, as soon as he entered the car he made an inspection of its contents, and pulling his hat down over his eyes took a seat. The conductor approached him and asked him for his ticket. He pull ed out a roll of greenbacks and handed the conductor a two dollar bill telling him to take his fare to Newnan. The conductor knew him, but asked him, who he waB. Hill said that he was from Alla- bama. The conductor smiled, and dill said; “I see you know me. I am,Sam Hill. You are not going to have me arrested are you? The conductor told him he would not and passed on. Hill then spoke of how he got away, and said he would Dot have attempted an es cape, hut that his wife was sick and he felt it his duty to visit her.— bow he got away from the asylum he declined to say, but said that he hail been to s 1 e his wife, and was was now go : ng he didn’t care where He seemed to hava a dread of being captured, and said he would never surrender. He seem ed very much dispirited and said that he didu't care what became of him. As usual ids talk was of his wife, who, he thought had been terrih'y wronged. When near Palmetto he went tp the conductor, aud telling him that he was afraid to go to New nan lest he should he captured, as ked if he wouldn't remit his fare. The conductor did so, anil just as the train whis'led for Palmetto Sam Hill jumped off whist we were going ut the rate of twenty miles per hour.

The l*uwer of Tuck. Says the Louisville Corier Jour nal: Winfield Scott Hancock will be the next President of United States. It is written in the book of fate, and there will he no olecto- rial tribunal to revise the returns. Hancock was born both hundsome and lucky. He is a man of desti ny. Why, just look at the record. In 1868, Garfield brought a bill into congress to drop the juuinr major general. That was Hancock It passed both houses of congress and was signed JjAthe President But before it cou^^R^rried into effect, George H.^^^^Bthe sen- dropped. The man who led them —Garfield—will, is a fitting con summation of his act, fall a victim to his intended victim. Hancock will be elected President. Gar field will be retired—at least from the Presidential field TE5 SUB FOR 1880. lor major gene] Hau- The Sun will deal with the events of the yoar 1880 in its own faslion now pretty well understood by every body. From January J until Docem bor 31 it will be oonluoted as a new paper written in the English langusg and printed for the people. As a newspaper, The Sun believe in getting all iLe news promptly, and prsentiugit in the most intelligible shape—the sha|w that will enable the readers to keep well abreast of the age with the least unproductive eipen diture of time The greatest interest to the greatest number—that is the, law coutrolliug its daily make-up. It now has a circulation very much lar ger than that of auy other American newspaper, and enjoys an income which it is at all times prepared to spend lib erally for the benefit of its readers.-*- People of all cotulitiuu of life and all ways of thinking buy and read Tub Sun; and they all derive satisfaction of some sort from its colunis, for they keep on buying aud reading it. Iu its comments on men and atfairs, The Sun believes that the only guide of policy should be common sense, in spired by genuine American principles and backed by honesty of purpose.— For this reason it is, and will continue to be, absolutely independent of party class, clique, organisation, or interest. It is for all, but of none. It will con tinue to praise what is good and rep robate what is evil, taking care that its language is to the point aud plain, be yond the possibility of being misun- stood. It is uniufluenced by motives that do not appear on the surface; it has no opinions to sell, save those which may be had by any purchaser with two cents. It hates injustice Rnd rascality even more than it hates un*. ueceasary words. it abhors frauds, pities fools, aud deplores nincompoops of every species. It will continue throughout the year 1880 to chaBti the first class, instruct the second, and disoountenance the thrird. All honest men with honest convictious, whether sound or mistaken, are its friends.— And the Sun makes no bones of tell' ing the truth to its friends and oboufc is trieuds whenever occasion arises for plain speaking. These are the principals upon which The Sun will be conducted duriug the year to come. The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic American can afTord to close his eyes to public affairs. It is impoaible to exxgerate the im;K)rtance of the po’itical events which it has iu store, or the neceHaity of resolute vigil- lance on the part of every citizen who desires to proservo the Government that the found rs gave us. The de bates and acts of Congress, the utter micon of tlie press, the exciting con test ot' the Republican aud Democratic parties, now nearly eqnal in strength throughout the country, the varying of public sentiment, will all bear di rectly and effectively uj^on the twenty forth Presidential election,to be held in Novetnlier. Four years ago next No veinbdr the will of the nation, as ex pressed at the polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspiracy, the promo ters and beneficiarios of which still hold the offices they stole. Will the crime ef 1870 be repeated in 1880?— The past decade of years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent Administration intrenched at Washs iugton. The Sun did something to ward dislogiug the gang and break ing its power. The same men are now intriguing to restore thrii leader and themselves to places from which they were driven by the indignation of the people. Will they succeed? The comming year will bring the answer to these momentus questions. The The Sun will be on hand to chronicle the facts us they are developed, anil to ex hibit them clearly and fearlessly, iu their relations to ex pendency and right. Thus, with a hahit of philosophical good humor in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in grant tilings a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights of the people and the principles of tue Constitution against all aggress ors, The Sun is prepaired to write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time entertaining history of 1880.
