JEFFERSON, -
FltllUl .MOiriAfii, sm?.
—Tim South Carolina. Legislature is in
session. A short session is anticipated.
—-Major Gaiiald, of Augusta, is suggested
as a suitalde person for the office of Attorney
General of the State.
—We stand corrected, Bro. Blats; we
intended to say buggy horse, but as such
things will happen we left off the horse.
—Kearney is about to lose his influence
aid authority over the California roughes.
K illocli, the newly elected Mayor of San
Francisco, is superseding him.
—The practicability of buying up all the
telegraph lines in the United States and
running them by the government will be
discusse 1 at the coming session of Congress.
—Atlanta claims to be the educational
center of the colored population of the South,
and points with pride to the various institu
tions of learning located there for the educa
tion of the colored population.
—lt is now going the rounds of the press
that the cause of the coldness between Abe
Hewitt and Sam Til len was about the money
the former expended in the Presidential
campaign. As the story woes, Tilden told
Hewitt to go ahead and not mind expenses,
that lie would foo* the bills ; hut when the
day came he refused ; so Hewitt had them
to pay.
—The question as to the validity of the
marriage laws of the several States will he
tr'ed before the United States Supreme
Court soon. The test case is that of a
negro who married a white woman and
moved to the State of Virginia, where he
was prosecuted for the offense, as the laws
of that State forbid the intermarriage of the
two races. We cannot see how the courts
can sustain him.
—That the next election for President
will be fought by both sides with all the
means possible can be gathered from the
following plan which is under serious con
sideration by prominent.politicians : Indiana
is a close State and may possibly go Demo
cratic, so the Republicans talk of settling
enough colored voters in it to make it Re
pu hcan bevorvl a dou't next fall. The
Democrats. to counteract this, propose to
import twentv thofisan 1 voters from Ken
tucky. which can easily spare them. Wheth
er these plans will be carried out remains to
be seen, but they are not impossible.
Mr. Hayes’ Message—An Outline of its
Contents.
Mr. Haves completed his message on
Wednesday afternoon and left Washington
to attend a fair in Philadelphia. The National
liepnhHenn of Thursday morning gives the j
fallowing outline of the contents of the
” It is UM'lnr'st'.fwxl in well informed circles
flint the President begins his forthcoming
annual m issngo by congratulating Congress
and the country upon the successful accom
plishment of resumption, but warns Congress
that unless the unlimited coinage of standard
silver dollars is stopped the present amount
f goM will soon begin gradually to flow out
of the country, and that silver will take its
place. On this point lie recommends that no
action be taken as to fixing the ratio between
the silver dollar and the gold dollar until the
international monetary congress shall have
arrived at some conclusion regarding the
legitimate states of silver, but suggests that
the coinage of the silve do lar he merely
suspended. It is also understood that he
takes the ground that it is only in time of war
or other pressing emergency that the issue of
notes, the wo’th of which is fixed wholly by
the government, is authorized, and that, as
no such emergency now exists, the circulat
ing notes, i. 0., the greenbacks, should now
be retired in some manner wisely calculated
to forefend any disturbance of the present
financial equilibrium. He also argues that,
as it has been the policy of the government
ever since the adoption of the Constitution to
pay off all debts as soon after they are in
curred as possible, a sinking fund should now
be provided, or the existing laws relating to
that fund amended so as to fix a limit specified
and distinct within which the present public
debt shall be paid, lie then recommends
that if the revenues of tire government shall
not he sufficient to provide necessary fund
to meet, the demand of such a policy, a tariff
should be placed on tea and coffee, ti3 that
tax could he conveniently levied, and would
be less felt, by the people than any other.
“ lie calls the especial attention of Con
gress to the continued and utter disregard
of the statutes against polygamy by the
people of the Territory of Utah, and suggests
or requests that some action be taken in the
premises. lie refers to the fact that the
territory is now approaching the period when
she shall apply for admission into the Union,
and when she will certainly have to be ad
mitted as a State. In this connection he
recommends that the citizens of all the territo
ries who are guilty of the crime of polygamy
shall be debarred from the right of suffrage,
and also from the privileges of juiy duty,
lie also recommends that a test oath shall be
imposed in the territories for the purpose of
excluding polygamists from the jury box.
“He occupies considerable space in the
message to a discussion of the theories of
civil service reform, and advocates the ap
pointment of a commission, to be endowed
with the power to appoint officers or officials
of different grades in the civil service, all such
appointments to last during good behavior.
“ He reports an agreeable and friendly state
of affairs with- foreign nations, and remarks,
in effect, that nothing of importance has oc
curred in diplomatic affairs since his last
message. He discourages a renewal of the
discussions regarding the transfer of the
Indian Bureau to the War Department, as
that, discussion always serves to hamper the
officials of the Indian Bureau in pending
operation and negotiations, and pro luces no
corresponding good. Asa member of the
W ashington Monument Commission he nd
vises tiie appropriation of a sufficient sun
and the change of existing laws to pprmit, the
completion of the monument at an earlv date.
“Referring to the deficiency which exists
in the appropriation for the Department of
Justice, he points out the necessity of an im
mediate appropriation for the payments of
accrued dues and fees of the United States
marshals, arising from the failure of Congress
to provide at the late extra session for their
payment under the usual process. lie further
points out the necessity of similar or fee ap
propriations for the faithful and competent
execution of the laws in the future.
“ In tone and spirit the entire message is
consoicuously stalwart, as the phrase goes,
so far as it relates to political affairs, and in
length exceeds any of its predecessors.”—
Savannah News.
Washington Letter.
[From our regular Correspondent.]
Washington, D. C., Nov. 29th, 1879.
So few Congressmen arrived in Washing
ton previous to Thanksgiving that there has
hot been, in advance of the session, the usual
amount of interviewing and discussion of
political topics around the hotel lobbies.
This, and the absence of the customary button
holing campaign for olficcrs of the House,
lias rendered it exceedingly dull here up to
the very opening of Congress. Among the
few here dining the past week there has been
a good deal of talk about the proposition,
started by somebody, to make General Grant
captain general of the Arm}' for life, witli a
modest salary of $25,000 per year. Some of
his friends think that this, or to place him
on the retired list at the same figure, would
be a fine thing to do, and they have even
talked of suspending the rules to pass a bill
to that effect the first week of the session.
But l notice that cx-Governmerit Printer
Clapp and a few of tire old office holders
under Grant’s administration don't cotton to
this proposition worth a cent. They are the
ones who organized the third-term boom, and
they want the “ old man,” as they used to
call him, for President in order that they may
! get another chance to feather their own
nests.
In this connection I may refer to the talk
about a Grant boom in the South. Inter
views with all the leading Southern Con
gressmen who have so far arrived, including
Alexander Stephens, Gen. ilunton, Randall
'Gibson, and many others, develop the feet
| that there is nothing in it. I have talked
with twenty influential Southern Democrats,
all of whom say that not a man of any in
fluence in the party is committed to or in
; favor of such a movement. “It amounts to
I nothing,” said Gen. Gibson, “and any good
I candidate the Democrats may nominate will
carry all the States that voted for Tilden in
1776 T But the agitation concerning a Grant
! sentiment in the South has had one very
visible effect. It has sickened the stalwart
Radicals, who advocate Grant as a “strong
man,” a regular •‘rebel hater” as it were.
They started the talk of Southern strength
for Grant merely to aid them in working the
boom, but it went so far, apparently, and
Grant expressed himself so pacifically that
they really began to doubt whether he was
the man they wanted after all. It is the
offices and the power these men want, now
and for all time. They want to array a solid
North against a solid South, and make the
campaign one of hate and bitterness. Any
thing that interferes with this programne
knocks all their calculations into pie. If
Grant makes a few more utterances like his
words to the Army of the Tennessee, he will"
soon cease to be their man and his chances
for a third term won’t be worth a rush.
It is difficult to in licate the business that
will chiefly occupy Congress aside from the
appropriations and rout'ne legislation. There
appears to be a very general sentiment in
favor of a working session and an early ad
jounment. Six months has been fixed bv
some members as the limit of time, but I
predict that it will be seven at least. The
calendars of both bouses, containing the
business brought over from the extra session,
have been prepared, but they contain few
important bills. 1 do not think there will
be any prolonged contest between Congress
and the President over the measures brought
out at the extra session. The Democrats
then accomplished all they can secure iguins:
an adverse Executive, and it is generally ad
mitted that further discussion or agitation
would be a w isle of time. 'Tire question of
tariff revisi- n has been extensively discussed,
and the ind cations arc that Congress ma\
undertake it. There is nothing sectional in
the queskon and some reforms are highly
importan . Yet there is every reason to ex
pect a ha 1 fight whenever the subject i
taken up. There are some interests that
will oppose any change to the bitter end, and
with all the usual appliances for influencing
legislation. Another important measure
likely to be agitated is a proposed bill to re
gulate the electoral count, though if it results
in anything more than talk. There are plenty
of Congressmen who express themselves in
favor of a change in the manner of electing
a President and a Vice President—a change
enabling the citizen to vote directlv for these
officers—but that is hardly practicable at
this time. Nor is it likely that any depar
ture will be made from the established
method of counting the vote by Congress,
though doubtless the Republicans will come
forward with some device through which
they would hope to trick the Democrats
again. Phono.
Death of Mr. I. H. House.
The gentleman whose name heads this
notice died at his brother’s residence, near
Jug Tavern. Walton county, on Sunday
night the 30th inst. Mr. House has been in
feeble health for some months past, but was
not so ill as to indicate that his end was so
near at hand. He has been engaged in the
mercantile business in this city for several
years, and by his honest, upright and fair
dealings, won for himself the confidence and
esteem of our whole community. The
deceased leaves a wife and two children
besides numerous devoted friends and re
latives to mourn their untimely loss. They
certainly have sustained an irreparable loss,
and Athens can truthfully say one of her
be*t and cleverest citizens has gone. To the
bereaved family and friends we extend our
deepest sympathies. —Athens Daily Banner.

THE SUN FOII 1880.
The Sun will deal with the events of the year
18S0 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January 1 until De
cember HI, will be conducted as a newspaper,
written in the English language, and printed for
the people.
As a newspaper, The Sun believes in getting
all the news of the world promptly, and present
ing it in the most intelligible shape—the shape
that will enable its readers 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 controlling its daily
make-up. It now has a circulation very much
larger than that of any other A merican newspa
per, and enjoys an income which it is at all times
prepared to spend liberally for the benefit of its
readers. People of all conditions of life and all
ways of thinking buy and read The Sun; and
they all derive satisfaction of some sort from 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 American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason it is, and 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, beyond the
possibility of being misunderstood. It is unin
fluenced 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 and rascality even more
than it hates unnecessary words. It abhors
frauds, pities fools, and deplores nincompoops of
every species. It will continue throughout the
year ÜBO to chastise the first class, instruct the
second, and discountenance the third. All honest
men, with honest convictions, whether sound or
mistaken, are its friends. And The Sun makes
no bones of telling the truth to its friends and
about its friends whenever occasion arises for
plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes to public
affairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of the political events which it has in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilance on the part
of ever}- citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press,
the exciting contests of the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying drift of
public sentiment, will all bear directly and effect
ively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election,
to lie held in November. Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as expressed at
the polls, was thwarted by an abominable con
spiracy, the promoters and beneficiaries of which
still hold the offices they,stoleji VVTill the crime
of 1870 he repeated in 1880? The past <Keade of
years opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and
insolent Administration intrenched at Washing
ton. The Sun did something toward dislodging
the gang and breaking its power. The same men
are now intriguing to restore their leader and
themselves to places from which they were driven
by the indignation of the people. Will they suc
ceed? The coming year will bring the answers
to these momentous questions. The Sun will
be on hand to chronicle the facts as they are
developed, and to exhibit them clearly and fear
lessly in their relations to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in great
things a steadfast purpose to maintain the rights
of the people and the principles of the Constitution
against all aggressors, The Sun is prepared to
write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time
entertaining history of 1880.
Our rates of subscription remain unchanged.

eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, is
