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.

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. For the Daily Sun, a four-page sheet of twenty eight columns, the price by mail, post-paid, is 55 cents a month, or 86.50 a year ; or, including the Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the price is 65 cents a month, or 87.70 a ) r ear, postage paid. The Sunday edition of The Sun is also furnish ed separately at $1.20 a year, postage paid. The price of the Weekly Sun, eight pages, fifty-six columns, is 81 a year, postage paid. For clubs of ten sending $lO we will send an extra copy free. Address, I. W. ENGLAND, Publishers of The Sun, New York City. Jackson County.
