No sooner ie one boom ended than ano
ther begins.
It is said that Lead vi lie has already
yielded $10,000,000 in silver.
The Democratic members of Congress
should Lave a guardian to look after them.
The iri# 1 of Senator David Davis, of Illi
nois. died at Stockbridge, in that State re
cently.
It is claimed that Senator Blaine has sent
B.xty-five mail bags fall of his speeches to
the South.
Fernando Wood rises up to remark that
New York never goes Republican except
when he is away from home.
Got. Crosswell, of Michigan, has appoint
ed Fernando C. Beaman, United States
Senator to fill the miexpired term of the
late Senator Chandler.
Dakota and Utah will he knocking at the
doora of Congress during the coming ses
sion ,for admission as states. Each has
the necessary population.
The Cincinnatti Gazette thinks the con
test for the republican nomination for
President will be between Sherman,Blaine
and Washburne, and that it will be in the
order named.
Senator Chandler was wise even unto the
last. He did not leave bis property to the
lawyers by making a will: so bis heirs
have nothing to wrangle over, and can en
joy the property in peace.
The Cincinnatti Enquirer favors the
nomination of either Potter and Hendricks
or Hendricks and Potter as the democratic
presidential ticket. It thinks the ticket
either way would carry both New York and
Indiana.
The Treasury Depaitment has ordered
supervising and local inspectors of steam
vessels to sec that such vesels comply
with the law requiring them to have their
names puinted on their wheel and pilot
houses.
It is reported from Augusta,Maine, that
the State authorities have certificates pre
pared to send out giving seats to seven
teen Democratic Sonators and eighty-five
Representatives, these giving them a ma
jority and a quorum in case the Republi
cans retire. ,
Congressman Yoorbis, of New Jersey,
who was arrested recently for defrauding
a lank of wl i.:h he is .president, talks of
resigning. Should lie do so, bis successor
would probably be a Democrat, and the
change would give the congressional dele
gation of the state a Democratic major
ity.
The Philadelphia Times has a column
double-lended editorial on "the peril of
1880,” in which it asserts that “the time
has come when honest men of all parties
should understand that the leaders of both
sides are looking to fraud as a necessary
factor to give them victory in the presi
dential contest of next year.” This is a
fact, if true.
Colonel liobert A. Crawford, whose two
hundred and fifty-one slaves were set free
when Sherman marched through Georgia,
is out for Grant for President and ex-Chief
Justice Lochrane, of Georgia for Vice-
President. He favors such a democratic
ticket because he believes that the wounds
which disoord has opened through the land
would be healed if the two men should be
elected.
The Postmaster General has decided
that all lottery companies and their, agents
are doing a fraudulent business within
the purview of his statutory powers. He
has therefore, ordered that no postal or
ders or registered letters, known to be ad
dressed to such dealers, shall be delivered
but shall be returned to the senders stamp
ed "Fraudulent.” If ordinary letters are
addressed to such persons under ficitti
tious names they are to be sent to the
Dead Letter office.
The Philadelphia Times says: “A rest
leßß Democratic member of Congress has
already annouced that he will bring for
ward a bill at the next session to reduce
the President’s salary to twenty-five thous
and dollars. Of course if a bill of this
kind should pass it could not affect Hr.
Hayes, but it will stir up the animals with
out any kind of doubt. If Congress has
nothing more important than this to busy
itself about, the country will be well sat
isfied to have it stay at home."
A leading Northern Republican daily says
General Fitzhugh Lee is a very near rela
tive of the late Robert E. Lee, and were
the distinguished Confederate ehoiftain
alive he would be found advocating pub
lic honesty in Virginia, just as his nephew’
has been doing. Whether the Repudia
tes would have insulted him by riding
around his effigy, as those in Falmouth
have done with Fitzhugh Lee, is another
qaettio 1; but at any rate there is a wide
difference between Virginians of their class
and that of the Lees.
The Providence (R. I.) Press, rep., says
"The absence of Senator Bayard in Europe
up to within a few days seems to prove
somewhat conclusively that he is not en
gineering the late democratic movement
in his favor. He will probably do little or
nothing to promote his own chances for
the presidency, but if the nomination is
offered him he will no doubt accept it and
prove to be a very popular candidate. Mr.
Bayard will be the strongest democratic
candidate in New York and New England,
and liberal republicans will probably pre-
G.Y ":iru to a stalwart or Gen Grant
A Utica correspondent of the Chicago
Times, in nn informal talk, hioi got at ex-
Gov. Horaiio Seymour’s views on the
New York election. Mr. Seymour said
that the result in that State would both
help and hurt John Kelly. Kelly coul l
assert that his influence had been suffi
cient to crush Robinson, but while this
act had to be admitted, it was probable
that in the future he could reap no advan
tage from his triumph, if ho desired to do
so. The ex-Govemor seemed to assent to
the suggestion that the defeat of Robinson
with it the defeat of Tilden. He thought
it unfortunate that the democratic party
had put no speakers in the field in the re
canvass who could successfully combat the
theories of President Hayes, Secretary
Sherman and others regarding the true
situation of the people of the North and
of the South on national questions. He
believed new men would be brought out
ns candidates on both sides in the Presi
dential canvass next year.
Among the' stories going the rounds
about the late Senator (.'handler is one il
lustrating his bluff manner. He was much
chagrined at the President’s neglect of him
after the inauguration, and had hoped for
a place in the Cabinet. In his disappoint
ment he refused for many months to go to
the White House. Finally he went.
Shortly after his return from a trip
homo as a private citizen he met the Presi
dent, who grasped his hands warmly, and
with an air of patronage said: “Well
Chandler, I suppose your old constituents
were glad to welcome you home again.”
“Yes, Mr. President,” Chandler replied,
“I met with but one man who seemed dis
contented. He is an old Republican, and
taking my hand on seeing mo, he said,
•Chandler, I believe you are an honest
man; you never did steal any thing but
the Presidency, and that, as it turns out, is
only petty larceny.’” Confidential rela
tions were not resumed on that day.
The Cabinet at its meeting on Friday,
discussed the recommendations to be made
in Mr. Hayes’s annual message, as well as
in the reports of the heads of the respect
ive departments. It was decided that the
recommendations should be confined to
improvments in present methods rather
than extended to radical changes in exist
ing laws, it being considered especially
desirable at the present time to provoke a
little conflict in Congress and to cause as
little disturbance to business as possible.
Mr. Hyes’s message, which is being pre
pared, will be shorter than usual, and will
contain four recommendations other those
compromised in the reports of his Cabinet
officers,
The Washington Star, a moderato Re
publican paper, alluding to Senator Bay
ard’s response to the welcome of his fellow
citizens, says: “Although spoken quietly
to a few townsmen in Wilmington, it is
not too much to predict that the little
speech of Senator Bayard, yesterday, in re
ply to an address of welcome in behalf of
his neighbors and friends on his return
from Europe, will find admiring readers
and exercise an influence far outside of
that narrow circle. It was in every way a
most felicitious effort, and can hardly fail
to make new as well as to bind still strog
er old friends. Indeed, it wouldn’t make
a bad foundation for a Bayard boom.”
Now that the election of the Anti-Tam
many Democratic county ticket in New
York has demonstrated that Tammnay
does not represent a majority of the Dem
ocrats of New York city, the Anti-Tam
manyites can afford to extend tho olive
branch to tho defeated. There seems to
be a disposition to do so, and a prospect
of an obliteration of differences for the
coming year at least. There also seems to
be a general disposition in the Democratic
party outside of Now York to urge and
promote the unification of tho New Y T ork
Democracy.
If a constitutional amendment which is
to be voted upon next April in Indiana
shall be adopted, there will be no Octo
ber electionsin that state next year. Here
tofore the October election in presidential
years has always been axiously awaited as
an indication as to how the state would go
in November. Pennsylvania, under her
new constitution, changed her annual
election from October to November; and
lowa, in presidential years, votes in No
vember.
Mrs. Meeker and her daughter, Josehine j
who were captives with the Indians for
several weeks were given a reception upon
their arrival at Greeley, their old home, a
few days ago. The whole populace met
them at the depot, and hundreds of men,
women and children followed the carriages
to the house prepared for the occupancy
of the unfortunate women. Mrs. Price,
their fellow sufferer, was given benefit
performances at the theatre, and will be
presented with a purse.
Mr. Henry G. Davis, United States Sen
iter from West Virginiu, has been inter
viewed. He thinks the Democrats ought
to elect tho next President, and feels sure
that Horatio Seymour is the best and most
available candidate. Senator Bayard be
thinks the next most available candidate.
Heretofore Mr. Davis has been a recogni
zed Thurman man.
The persons who threw eggs at Gen.
Grant, while he was speaking from the
platform of a railroa 1 car at Galesburg,
Illinois, a few days ago, have been arrest
ed, and proved to be three vulgar street
boys, aged thirteen, fourteen and fifteen
years. They say they were not urged to
their act by older persons.
A correspondent says Col. J. C. Stanton,
who was represented by Mr. E. T. Paine
in the bidding for the. Macon and Bruns
wick lease at Macon, claims the road and
will insist on his rights, and will com
mence the extension to Atlanta, which he
proposes to complete in nine mouths,
While General Grant has been away his
house at Galena, 111., has been occupied
by an old union soldier and the aged wife
of the soldier.
Bourbouism Bounced.
The follow ing letter from Hon. William
H. Felton, the independent Democratic
Congressman from the Seventh Georgia
District, was written to a friend in Wash
ington. Dr. Felton was one of the few
Democrats who boldly opposed the extra
session, both in the caucus and in public,
and, who denounced the policy of the Bour
bon wing of the party. Here is the letter:
J received your letter requesting for pub
lication my views on the situation and fu
ture outlook for the Democratic party, the
extent and-probable future of the Indepen
dent movement in this state, if the South
would be satisfied with the nomination of
Mr. Tilden for the presidency; also what
effect will the spirit of repudiation in sev
eral of the southern states have on the
commercial relations of the South ?
J am a Democrat, and sincerely believo
that the principles of Democracy are essen
tial to the prosperity of our form of civil
government. We must remember teat af
ter the late civil war the Democratic party
was unjustly represented as antagonizing
the Union sentiments of the North. We
had lost the confidence ol the North, and
wo can never regain control of tire govern
ment until we convince the citizens of the
United States that we are more conserva
tive, more observant of the constitution
and the laws, morehonestand economical,
more capable and better fitted to guard
the integrity of the Union and the rights
of the citizen than the Republican party.
We must cover the confidence of the peo
ple before we can recover political favor.
During the extra session of the Forty
s'xth Congress I, privately and publicly,
expressed the opinion that the proceed
ing-#tif that session would result in the
defeat of the Democratic party. The pas
sions and predudices of partisanship, rath
er than reason and wise statesmanship,
were guiding the councils or Democratic
leaders. They were making capital for
the r opponent, instead of strengthening
their own party, and were solidifying the
North against an already solid South. I
need not recapitulate the mistakes and
criminal blunders of that session Our
threat to withhold all appropiations until
certain repeal measures were approved by
the President; our indirect announcement
to the world that we intended to ignore
the executive branch of the government,
and to make Congress, with its factious
turbulence, the absolute dictator of this
country; our unsuccessful effort to repeal
the election laws —placing our opposition
to these laws, not upon the ground of in
exjiediency, but upon the ground of their
unconstitutionally, and vehemently press
ing that objection in the face of the Con
stitution. Had there been an army at the
polls there might have been some sense in
this theatrical display. But one of the first
acts of President Hayes after his inaugura
tion was to withdraw the army from every
Southern state, and during this entire war
of politicians there was not a single sol
dier interfering with life ballot-box in any
of the states, and were assured there would
be none. Yet we received his protesta
tions with ’ribald jest and biting sarcasm,’
and liis ‘fraudulency’ was the mildest epi
thet we applied to this President, who, for
this patriotic work should receive the re
spect and gratitude of every Southern
state.
All this has been the work of our self
constituted leaders. The great "mass of
the Democratic party are conservative in
their opinions, and as true as steel to the
Constitution and the Union; yet they are
held responsible for the vaporing follies of
these hot-heads. lu addition to these
blunders of the statesmen, there have been
in some Southern localities outrages upon
law and the freedom of the ballot-box, such
as the Dixon and Chisholm murders, which
influence the Northern mind against the
Southern people, who, as a whole, con
demn such outrages as heartily as any man
in the North. Ot these, I can only say the
Democracy lias been killed in the house of
its friends.
The independent movement promises
to sweep this state next year. I believe
our next governor and a majority of our
next congressmen and of our state legisla
ture will be elected as independents. The
honest and intelligent citizens of this state
are determined to throttle and overthrow
that organized bourbonism which has well
nigh destroyed the very bulwarks of gen
uine Democracy; that never learns and
never forgets; that stands as a barrier to
©ur material progress. Narrow, selfish
and illiberal -its only bond of union a
struggle for spoils; its only hope of success
the tricks of the caucus and the lash of the
party. The people of Georgia would not
be satisfied with Mr. Tilden’s nomination.
He might, and, 1 think, would carry the
state; but it would be “by the skin of his
teeth.” The people of Georgia are convin
ced that he loves his money more than the
Democratic party. They believe that had
Air. Tilden never been heard of, Dem
ocarcy would to-day he triumphant in this
Union.
I believe there is hut one man in the
United States who, as a Democrat, can wm
the presidency next year that man is
David Davis, of Illinois. Mr. Bayard is
an honest, incorruptible man; but his po
sition on the silver bill at the last session
of Congress and his financial views gener
ally will array the whole Greenback party
against him, and, here let me say that par
ty is not dead nor does it sleep. The peo
ple believe that Mr. Bayard’s views on fi
nance are correct ; then Gen. Grant and
Secretary Sherman and other Republicans
are entitled to all the credit of their estab
lishment and should enjoy all the honors
which may accrue from their successful
advocacy.
David" Davis would be acceptable to con
servative men in all sections- to Green
backers, to workingmen, to capitalists, to
Democrats and to thousands of Republi
cans. But ho will not be nominated. I
do not believe the spirit of repudiation ex
ists to any considerable extent in the
South —certainly not in Georgia. We fa
vor the payment of every dollar of public
indebtedness —state and federal. In the
midst of our poverty we are willing to la
bor and to be taxed for the preservation
of the honor and credit of the government.
Col. Thos. A. Scott was asked some ques
tions at St. Louis about Bayard as a Presi
dential candidate and he said: “Bayard is
one *f the very best men in this country.
If the Democrats should nominate him
they will have a very strong candidate
and do themselves great honor. He would
get a great many independent votes in
Pennsylvania. But Mr. Tilden is going
to be a strong man for the Democratic
nomination. Ido not think he is out of
the race by any means.
General Grant said to the army of the
Tennessee: “Let us he true to ourselves, ;
avoid all bitternes and ill-feeling, either |
on the part of sections or parties towards
each other, and we need have no fear in
future in maintaining the standing we j
taken among nations.”
Affairs in Georgia.
Atlanta is now threatened with a tem
perance movement.
The Atlanta Dispatch has hem sus
pended, we are sorry to announce.
Jordan Sheets, a colored man, was hung
at Danesvillo on Friday.
Who does the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad beloDg to, anyway ?
General Grant ia coming to Georgia on
a visit. Wo would like to see the General.
It will cost Georgia $200,000 to arm and
leg the poor soldiers, who lost theirs in
the late war.
The Atlanta Constitution says: . “The
wild land office is in better tune than it
has been for years.”
The Macon and Brunswick railroad will
be offered for sale on the loth of January,
1880, by the Governor.
The Rufus E. Lester boom has extend
ed as far north as Cartersville. The Les
ter boom is a real live boom.
The Atlanta Phonograph says: “Some
body ought to put a wire muzzle on Gen.
Toombs, or there will be trouble in the
land.”
The Southern Cultivator has been moved
to Atlanta, and will hereafter be publish
ed by the Constitution Publishing Com
pany.
Under the laws of this State, it is now a
misdemeanor for any one to vote, at any
election in this State, whose taxes are due
and unpaid.
The New York Express says that the
Okolona idiot and Bob Toombs would
make an excellent couple for some vigi
lence committee.
Mr. James R. Randall, of the Augusta
Chronicle, has gone to New Orleans with
the sub-committee of the Senate on Priv
ileges and Elections.
At last accounts ('apt. John Triplett, the
bachelor editor of the Thomasville Times,
was in Valdosta, courting. John is already
engaged to 44 different ladies.
The new Georgia flag consists of a per
pendicular blue bar from top to bottom of
the flag, next to the staff, and three hori
zontal bars, red white and red.
The Monroe (Ga.) Advertiser prints this
obituary: “The biggest fool in the world
is dead. He tcld his mother-in-law she
lied. She did it with her little skillet.”
Friday morning Wm. Seagrave, a young
farmer near Griffin, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head with a
pistol. The cause of the deed is not known.
The Augusta Chronicle thinks that “if
Governor Colquitt intends to obey the
law relative to the lease of the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad it is time he was do
ingnt.”
Over one thousand maimed ex-Confed
erates have already applied for limbs, un
der the recent act of the General Assem
bly._ The total number of applicants will
probably reach two or three thousand.
The Washington Star thinks Messrs.
Stephens and Speer will join Dr. Felton
in refusing to act and vote with the Dem
ocratic party in Congress, and that the
party will loose control of the House of
Representative.
Samuel Aimes, of Chillicothe, Missouri,
a comedian of the Globe Comedy Compa
ny, was thrown from a carriago and in
stantly killed at Milledgeville. His fun
eral took place the other day at the Epis
copal church at Milledgeville.
Georgia is not responsible for what Be b
Toombs says. He was one of the men
who brought on the war,and his opinions
now are not worth shucks. It would have
been a God-send if Cereal (?) Robert
Toombs had departed this life 60 years
ago.
A Davisboro dispatch of the 19th says:
“A heavy snow commenced falling here
about eight o’clock this morning. Every
thing is covered, and it is tho heaviest
which has been seen in this part of Geor
gia for ten years. It is now two inches
deep on the ground.”
We would vote for the most Radical Re
publican'in Georgia for Governor before
we would entertain the idea for one sec
ond of voting for one Robert Toombs.
Toombs has done Georgia and the South
more harm than all the Radicals put to
gether. Down with such a man !
Hon. Wm. H. Felton, the independent
Democratic Congressman from the Seventh
Georgia District, in an open letter de
nounces the Democratic tactics and pro-
shown by the extra session,and
breaks from the ranks of the party. The
letter has caused a sensation in Washing
ton.
Hon. A. H. Stephens does not think Dr.
Felton, in his recent letter, reads himself
out of the Democratic party, but simply
puts himself on record as opposed to the
errors and blunders of the extra session.
Mr. Stephens as a Democrat finds nothing
objeciionable or inconsistent with true pa
triotism in the letter.
The Central Georgia Weekly wantg the
Governor to appoint those five Commis
sioners for the Macon and Brunswick Rail
road. We are in favor of any project that
will keep the road out of the hands of the
Central Railroad monoply. We also agree
with the Weekly that Dr. Flewellen, one
of the present managers, should be re
moved, as he is one of the monopoly.
We endorse the following from the Sa
vannah Recorder: “Mr. J. P. A. DuPont
of the Okefenokenn, was last week elected
Mayor of the city w’hich bears his name.
He is without doubt the youngest May dr
in the State of Georgia, and we have no
doubt will make one of the best. We con
gratulate our young friend on his election
and wish him success and prosperity in
his dua\ capacity of Mayor and editor.”

THE SUN FOE 1880.
The Sun will deal with the events of the year
1880 in its own fahion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January 1 until Decem
ber 31, will be conducted as a newspaper, written
in the English language, and printed for the
people.
Asa newspaper, The Sun believes in getting all
the news of the world promptly, and presenting it
in the most intelligablo 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 num
ber—that is, the law controlling its daily make-up.
It now haH a circulation much larger than any
other American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which is at all times prepared to spend liberally
lor the benefit oi its readers. People of all condi
tions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read
The Sun; and they all derive satisfaction of some
sort from its columns, lor they keep on buying
and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun be
lieves that the only guide of policy should he
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose. For
the reasou it is, and wiU continue to be, absolute
ly independent of party, class, clique, organiza
tion, 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 posibility of being
misunderstood. It ia uninflnenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no opin
ions to sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser for two cents. It hates injustice and
rascality even more than it hates unnecessary
words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, aud de
plores nincompoops of every species. It will con
tiuue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first cltss, instruct the second, and discountenance
the third. All honest men with honest convic
tions, 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 occa
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will bo 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 af
fairs.- It is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of the political events which it has in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilence on the part
of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that the founders gave.us. The debates
aud acts of Congress, the utterances of the press,
the exciting contest of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the conntry, directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to
be held in November. Four years ago |g;xt Nov
ember the will of the nation, as expressed at the
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspir
acy, aud promoters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the officers they hold. Will the crime of 1876
be repeated in 1880 ? The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and insolent
Administration intrenched at Washington. The
Sun did something townrd dislodging the gang
and breaking its power. The same men are now
intriguing to restore their leader and themselves
to places from whence they were* driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they succeed ? The
coming year will bring the answer to these mo
mentous questions: The Sun will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their rela
tions 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 Constitu
tion against all aggressors, The Sun is prepared to
write a truthful, instructive, and at the same time
entertaining history of 1880.
