Wfcat Will the Democracy Do
With their Victory ?
To this question, the Cincinnati En
quirer, speaking for the Democracy of
the Great West, says : “The Democra
cy will have no power under the Feder
al Government any more then they have
now. It requires three branches of the
law-making power to enact a statute.
The Democrats will have but one. We
are but the brake upon the Radical car.
We can arrest corrupt and bad legisla
tion, but we can not carry through good
measures. This it is important should
be understood, since otherwise more will
be expected of us than we can perlorm.
This is, however, what we can and will
do. We will appoint Committees of In
vestigation into all the Executive De
partments, and thereby expose fraud
and corruption, which no doubt exist,
and which have been, concealed and cov
ered up through partisan friendship.
We will, futhermore, have an honest
count for President and Vice-President
of the United Stat es, in 1877, of the
Electoral vote in the House of Repre
sentatives. No Htate will be thrown
out. This of itsel.f is of the highest im
fcance.”
Mr. Alex andei i H. Stephens writes
in a private letter ; is follows, concerning
the elections: “Th< i news of the elections
throughout the con ntry is exceedingly
encouraging to the pa vtriots of the land.
The next House of R< 3presentatives will
be Democratic for the first time in four
teen years. If this r aajority shall but
prove itself equal to it s mission—that is,
keep the party on th e great principles
on which it was fount led—and go aft< r
no ‘ new departures, ’ a bright future
may await us.” Mr. . Stephens is silent
about his latest “ ne\ v departure,” the
third term. Perhaps he is not so much
in favor of it as he wa jb.
There seems to be an impression
among many persons that the members
of Congress elected on the 3d inst. will
take thair seats in Dect nriber next. This,
of course, is an error. The term of the
present Congress does not expire until
the fourth of March n< ixt, consequently,
unless an extra session of Congress is
called by Grcant at the c lose of the present
Congress, the Jiew me ambers chosen on
the 3d inst. will nO** en ter upon their leg-
JmauVo dllti.es Until t^ u vst Monday in
December, 1875.
Radical Sensation.— A Washing
ton special to the Baltimore Sun sa s rs a
daughter of Jackson, the Alex fcJ* dria
hotel keeper who killed Colonel Ells

is said has directed that she shr ji no t be

ous one, and that it would convulse the
globe.
Civil Rights.— lt is thought that the
infamous civil rights bill will never kick
again, orjif the Radical House shall, in

veto it, in view of the overwhelming

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE!
o
THE SAVANNAH MORNINE NEWS,
o
It would require the score of quite a large
volume to contain the gosvl things that are said
about the MORNING N KWS tor its contempora
ries of the Southed press. It is almost daily
referred to as “ tie best daily in the South/’
“ the leading Georgia daily,” etc., and it is
generally conceded to be in all respects a model
Southern newsjaper.
This is the sgme that the Morning News
covets, and no pains will be spared hereafter
to make it still worthier of •she confidence and
patronage of the people of Georgia and Flori
da. The ample resources of the establishment
will be devoted to the improvement of the pa
per in respect to its already large facilities for
gathering the current news of the day, and ita
staff ot special correspondents has been reor
ganized with a view to meeting every possible
contingency that may arise.
Although the Morning News has but little
or no competition within the field of its circu
lation, nevertheless no effort will be considered
too expensive that gives the earliest and fresh
est information to its readers. In this respect
there will be no relaxation of the endeavor to
keep it far ahead of all its contemporaries.
The features that have rendered the paper
so popular will be maintained. The editorial
department will be conducted with the same
dignified thoughtfulness, conservative vigor,
and earnest devotion to principle that have al
ways characterized it. The racy reliability of
the local, and the accuracy and complements
of the commercial departments, will be kept
up to the old standard, and improvements will
be made wherever they are suggested by ex
perience. The Morning News is the’only
Savannah paper that publishes the Associated
Press dispatches and the telegraphic market
reports authorized by the Commercial Bureau
of New York City. In acajition to this, the
local market reports will ho full and reliable,
and will be accompanied by such comment as
will enable the business men of Georgia and
Florida to form estimates as accurate and as
intelligent as if they were in the city.
In a word, the Morning News will com
prise every feature that re inters the modern
newspaper attractive, and its readers may con
fidently look to its eolaiMua for the latest in
formation in regard to everything of current
interest. It will admit of no rivalry in its
own proper field, and will allow no competi
tor to outstrip it in any department of jour
nalistic enterprise.
The terms of subscription are: Daily : One
year, $10; six months, $5; three months, $2.50.
Tri-Weekly: One year, $6; six months, $3;
