Mexico on the 25th inst.
Charles Stewart Parnell, the Irish ad
jutator, has returned to Ireland.
Samuel J. Tilden has again been defeat
ed—on paper —for the Presidency.
“I am in this fight,” says Mr. Tilden in
a sententious wispor, “and don’t you forget
it.”
From the tone of the N§w York World
we would imagine that it was run by a
lunatic.
Senator Bayard is one of the noblest
men in the Union, but could such a man
be elected to the Presidency just now.
Over five hundred rooms so far bave
been secured for Tilden and his agents in
Cincinnati hotels during convention week.
Michigan University has 1,397 students,
the largest number of any American col
lege. Columbia pays, its professors the
largest salaries.
Lorenzo Delmonico contributes regu
larly twice a year a considerable sum of
money for the relief of the poor of his na
tive town in Italy.
Hon. Stanley Matthews has made a
strong Grant speech in Cincinnati. In
1872 he was temporary chairman of the
Greeley Convention.
An Irish youth named Thomas Boyd
dived from the main span of the bridge
on the falls of Ohio, a distance of 100 feet,
and suffered no harm.
Mayor Cooper, of New York city, draws
a salary of $12,000, a year while the com
missioner of Jurors, whose duties are not
so important draws $15,000.
The people of lowa will soon vote upon
the question of striking the word “white'’
from the section of their constitution pre
scribing the qualifications of legislators.
The Judges of the Supreme Court in
New York city are paid $11,500, and those
of the Superior Court and the Court of
Common Pleas, much lower in grade re
ceive $15,000 a year each.
At the meeting of the Young Republi
cans of Massachusetts on Saturday Profess
or Norton, of Harvard College, said that
he would welcome defeat for the party if
its candidate is either Grant of Blaine-
New York Commercial Advetiser: The
Princess Louise does not permit any one,
even Lome, to call her'Looeyezer and she
is perfectly right. She was christened Loo
eezer, and Looeyzer’s her name.
The Boston Herald advises the Demo
crats to “hike a man of statesmanlike qual
fications like Bayard, a prominent Union
soldier like Hancock or McClellan, or a
moderate man like David Davis.”
Colored journalists are multiplying:
North Carolina has six newspapers edited
by negroes, Louisiana three, Tennessee
and Texaß two each, Georgia two, and
Alabama and Mississippi one each.
A man named Kennedy, who occupied
an official position in the Pittsburg city
government, is at the Hotel Hunt, St. Louis
insane over the fifteen puzzle. He inces
santly mutters “thirteen, fifteen, fourteen.”
The San Francisco Herald charges that
the agitators in that city are acting in con
cert with the Socialistic-Communistic par
ty, and declares that arrangements are
m ule to meet the fist act of violence with
fearful retribution.
Chicago Times: “Georgia duel: One
man slaps another —challenge—meet—ex
chakge shots—no one hit hurt honor
feels thoroughly healed—heroes get their
names in the papers. How the tool killer
is wasting his time!”
The London Times isivalued at $25,000,-
000, the Standard at $10,000,000, and the
News and Telegraph at $5,000,000. Their
circulation are estimated thus:.limes, 85,-
000 daily; Standard, 145,000; News, 125,-
000, Telegraph, 200,000.
The daughter of Farmer Hawes of Clay
ton, Contra Costa County, California, lost
her voice three years ago from diphtheria
She was a devout girl, and prayed for tin
restoration of her voice. A few days ago,
when at prayer meeting, and thus ferven
tly praying, her speech returned to her.
At least so says the San Francisco Post.
The telegraph was in error. New Hamp
shire knows not Stephen B. Dillaye, the
greenback nominee for president. As stat
ed recently, New Jersey claims him, and
the Trenton Gazeite thus describes him:
“He is, as a lawyer, a picker up of uncon
sidered trifles; as a politican, a sort ot go
as-you-please, and as a statesman, a mix
ture of Denis Kearney, George Francis
Train, and Ben Butter—with only a very
slight dash of the last.”
Two Mexicans fought a duel with lassos
at Atoka, Indian territory. Each was
mounted on a strong horse and armed with
such as is used in catching wild cattle.
Starting at a signal, they rode warrily to
ward each other, with lassos ready, and,
when twenty feet apart, thew them simul
taneously. One missed, but his own neck
was encircled by the noose of his adversary
and he was jerked from his horse so forci
bly he died within an hour.

True Independence.
[From the LaGrauge Kei>orter.]
A recent issue of the Darien Gazette
says: “When a Democratic newspaper
takes the liberty to insinuate that there
are some great big fools and assses in
that party, why it is forthwith put down
among the independents. A paper can
be independent and still not be an Inde
pendent.”
The distinction made by the Gazette,
in the sentence is a correct one. The on
ly true independence is found within par
ty lines. The man that claims to be inde
penent of all parties, simply proclaims
his own folly. It is impossible to maintain
neutrality between two contending parties;
a man must be on one side or the other.
He must agree with the principles of one
or the other.
The truly independent man is ho who
adheres to his principles, and yet does not
blindly follow the pnrtj nor its candidate.
His indepeddence enables him to discrim
inate between what is right and what is
wrong in his own party, and he as readly
condemns the latter as he approves the
formei. Such men are the salt of all par
ties—the element that saves them from
corruption. When they condemn some
thing within their party, they do so not
because they are its enemies bat candor is
the best proof of their friendship and alle
giance. All parties need that sort of per
sons in their ranks. The party that has
them not, is on the sure road to ruin
The following Georgia papers are in favor
of Governor Colquitt pardoning Samuel
H. Hill, who killed John It. Simmons for
seducing his wife, out of the penitentiary:

don; but as we have already said, we are
not positive about the whole of them.
Major Orme, of the Savannah Recorder,
comes out in favor of Hon. John C. Nich
olls as the nominee for Con
gress. The Major supported Hon. Steph
en A. Corker, the independent candidate,
at the last election. He thinks that if
Colonel Nicholls is not nominated that
Colonel W. T. Thompson, of the Savan
nah Nows, should be the nominee. Will
Major Orme support Colonel Thompson
if he is nominated by the Democrats of
this District ?
Dennis Kearney, the California blather
skite, was recently sentenced by Police
Justice ltix in San Francisco to six months
imprisonment in the House of Correction
and to pay a fine of £I,OOO. Kearney,who
expected to get off with a light punishment
is vehemently indignant, and has appeal
ed his ease, giving bond in the sum of
$3,000.
Secretary of the Navy 'Thompson has
written a letter saying he cannot accept
the Republican nomination as Governor
of Indiana without upsetting his plans for
the future. He says that he accepted his
present office from a sense of duly alone.
A letter from Alabama to the Philadel
pliia l imes states that “the whole South
was forgetful of her duty to her trflest and
I best friend wben she failed to support
I Bayard for the Presidency at St. Louis.”
fhc Science ot Epidemic'*.
Dr. U. 11. Milner,a prominent physician
of New Orleans, La., writes the Democrat
of that city as follows. The citizens of Da
rien should read it carefully: There is no
subject now agitating the minds of philan
thropists or of publicists which is destined
to wield so great a jiower for moral or so
cial and financial prosperity as that which
heads this paper.
The science of epidemics is the science
of the causes and prevention of disease.
Its importance outweighs money; should
calm all sectional passions and prejudices;
should override the desire for notoriety,
the ambition for distinction and leader
ship, and all personal or selfish motives
whatever. The one noble purpose—the
one grand idea of accomplishing the great
work of knowing the causes and preven
tion of diseases—should impel to action,
and the glory of a grand philanthropliy
and of a true patriotism should scintillate
upon every countenance of every doctor,
! tuinker, editor, preacher and public teack
\ er throughout this broad and beautiful
land. No partisan feeling should for a
moment be indulged, no political or sec
tional advantage should be sought, and no
confined discussion or ostracism of any in
dividual, party, sect, creed or faith should
receive the least encouragement.
The great study'of the causes and pre
vention of diseases should not be run in
anybody's rut; but the best roads should
be taken, the best ideas should be culled
from all sources of information, and the
best means of procuring dhd of utilizing
knowledge should be ado2>ted by the na
tional government.
Too much power could not be given to
the National Board of Health if it be
founded upon the principles above indi
cated, and composed of the elements and
guarded as above implied. But to clothe
this “body” with a power of terrible cen
tralization, making it the entering wedge
of imperialism, under the specious plea of
taking cure of the public health, is rather
dangerous to Southern commerce,if not to
the republic!
A bill is now' preparing to clothe this
“body” with just such powers, to be push
ed through Congress this session.
Is it safe to sleep when our liberty and
prosperity is threatened by so specious an
argument? Shall this National Board of
Health have power to move its magic
wand, and lo ! the President of the United
States must bow complacently to its power
and close our ports and stop our commerce?
The Republic should guard with eternal
vigilance its delegated powers, for in these
“Liberty” itself is the goddess upon which
the mind of freemen and freewomen are
turned, and all of their are centered
there ! Shall this goddess be humbled and
dethroned by Centralizers under the gard
of a merely specious argument of taking
care of the public health ? The third-term
move is a move of the centralizers, and the
hawk eyes of that movement are watching
the national quarantine centralization to
see how blunted the people are, and to
what, if anything, they will not bend their
necks to receive.
I have been addressed by Dr. J. C. Le-
Hardy, of Savannah, on the importance of
a movement South to counteract the evils
of centralization by giving to the National
Board of Health extraordinary and dan
gerous powers. Dr. Clendinin’s broad and
efficient [dan, as published by a reporter
of the New York Times, of February hist,
is in the main acceptable to Dr. Leliardy,
and to to the Southern profession general
ly, Dr. Leliardy says:
“If we can inaugurate at the South a
popular demonstration in favor of a Na
tional Board of Health such as has just
been described,l am assured of a consider
able support in the North.”
That plan is fully in harmony with Dr.
Clendinin’s plan, who proposes an amen
datory act to the Harris bill, now before
Congress, and wffiich gives the National
Board of Health all together too much
power. •
We do not fight national quarantine;
that is now the experiment. But we want
to throw around this great national body
proper guards to prevent evil to commerce,
and the possibility for its being used for
party or sectional purposes. Its quaran
tine property or quality is, true enough,
found upon a mere fogyism; it has nqt
even the basis of a reasonable hypothesis,
but we do not fight it now. We want its
benefits, if any, but we are looking only
to local sanitation for protection against
epidemics to which it will give its mighty
infiuence. For the scientiffie investiga
tion of the causes and prevention of dis
eases, we would have State boards of health
composed of county and town societies of
medical profession j n every State
in the Union, and the National Board
of Health composed of delegations from
these State boards, and clothed with effi
cient, but well guarded powers.
Joe Harris’s Sayings.
[From the Atlanta Constitution.!
The emperor of Russia is still mighty.
In fact he is dynamity.
Lobyists go to Washington to read the
constitution and buy laws.
The czar refuses to feed the cat under
the table for fear something will go off.
The alligator that swallowed a colored
man in Worth county is acquiring quite a
reputation at the north.
If the duke of Edinburgh is wise he wili
leave Russia and come home. He could
tell the czar that his ma wants him.
They say that Tom Thumb gets beastly
drunk and gambles lik4*an English idiot.
This shows that Tom is now a practical re
publican. •
If General Grant wants to have a little
fun when he comes home, let him fling a
few pods of red peper on Boston common,
lied pepper is the secret of Mexico’s sue
cess.
During the past year, only one gun has
gone off' in Connecticut, and yet there
have been as many people murdered as in
Kentucky and Texas. But they were nice,
quiet, easy moral murders.
General Butler is getting so he sleeps on
the front stoop of the democratic board
ing-horse in Massachusetts. The boys are
consulting whether they shall invite him
into the fire and give him a hot toddy.
“The scat of pain is where the pin
points,” remarks the New York World.
The tamoremark appeared in Hostetler'S
almanac two years ago. The industry and
research of a metropolitan editor are
something wonderful". .
The Chinese will never commend them
selves to acclimated Americans until they
learn how to lie, and cheat, and steal, and
loaf, and get drunk. A Chinaman seems
to be a hard case altogether. The exam
ple of his Christian friends seems to be ut
terly lost upon him.
The esteemed Courier-Journal has al
lowed itself to g t mad at something that
appeared in the New York World. To be
abused by the World is one of the eusies
routes to the affections of the public
steel rails, no curves nor side tracks, and
meals served on Load. What more could
the Courier-Journal ask.
Ltwuut t;Ltfi>.
They are Ktill talking about tLe Blod
gett matter in St. Mai; ’s.
Burton, of the Wiregrass Watchman, ia

Marcellas Eugene Thornton is making
the Crawfordsville Democrat hum.
The Btunswick brass band is also talk
ing of going to Cutbbert with the boys.
Brunswick will have another fair in the
spring. We hope it will prove a success.
There are thousands of citizens of this
State who would like to see Hill out of the
penitentiary*.
Col. Chas. C. Kibbee, of Hawkinsville,
should be sent to Congress from the 3d
district next fall.
Mr. Harry Edwards has taken charge of
the local columns of the Macon Telegraph.
He will make things lively’.
Nearly every’ paper in Georgia is in
favor of the Governor pardoning Sam Hill
out of the penitentiary.
The influx of Northern drummers, into
Georgia, it is said, was never known to be
greater than at present.
It is a shame that Sam Hill is still com
pelled to linger in jail. We hope the Gov
ernor will pardon him out.
Mr. A. W. Eeese announces in a recent
issue ot the Macon Telegraph that he has
sold his interest in that paper to Mr. Jos.
Clisby. .
Hon. W. H. Felton has written a letter
saying that ho will vote to reduce the tax
on paper, and is decidedly in favor of free
quinine.
Nearly one hundred thousand dollars
has been paid into the State Treasury from
the earnings of the Macon and Brunswick
railroad.
The Sparta Ishmaelite, one of the best
weeklies published in the South, has en
tered upon its seventh volume. We wish
it a long life.
The Augusta News says: “Wo learn
from good authority that Messrs. Elam
and John E. Christian will soon start a
daily paper in Macon.”
Governor Brown said the other night to
young men: When everybody wants to
sell, you buy’; w’hen everbody wants to buy
you sell.” Good advise.
The Brunsw’ick Appeal is in favor of the
nomination oi Gen. Lucius J. Gartrell, of
Atlanta, for Governor of Georgia. The Ap
peal thinks that he could beat Gen. W. T.
Wofford.
It is stated that the next move in the
case of Sam Hill in Atlanta will be an in
quiry into his sanity, and into the propri
ety of confining him into the lunatic asy
lum instead of the penitentiary’.
The Free Press says: “By the Lord
Harry ? don’t let that ‘Fifteen Puzzle’ come
to Cartersville. We are all puzzled enough
here now to find away to save our break
fast skillet from the scrap-iron fiend.”
The Atlanta Constitution says that it is
believed that President Wadley and the
Central Road will erect large grain eleva
tors on their own grounds near the Cen
tral depot in that city during this year.
The Macon Central Weekly says “The
outspoken and wringing words of the Al
bany Advertiser is arousing the manhood
in Southwestern Georgia. It is taking a
noble stand in the interest of the people.”
We learn from the Dalton News, that a
woman living near the foot of the Blue
liidge mountains, in Georgia, caught four
wild turkeys in a trap recently, and when
she tried to get them out, they attacked
her so fiercely as to break one of her
arms.
The Wiregrass Watchman says: The
timber business of Appling and Coffee
counties amount to almost nearly a mil
lion and a half dollars per annum, besides
their turpentine and wool interests. How
is this for high? Can the cotton belts make
a better showing of cotton than we can of
timber ?
Let the newspapers of the State now take
the Sam Hill matter in hand. Let them
urge with all their might, Gov. Colquitt to
pardon him out of the Penitentiary. Let
them talk out in thunder tones against
this great injustice, that is being done this
poor,miserable wretch. Something should
be done at officer We are in earnest in
this matter.
The temperance movement in Atlanta
didn’t reform Christopher, of the Phono
graph, worth a cent. He says: “Crane’s
Neck,}’ “Tarrapin Roost,” “Gopher’s Junc
tion,” “Rattle-snake Gulch, ” “Wood-peck
er’s Resort,” etc., are the names of the
most prominent local points in the neigh
borhood of Darien. Grubb is used to them,
like others in the town, and the mention
of these odd names excites no comment.
We find the following in the grand
jury presentments of Clinch county. We
heartily endorse the recommendation: We
hereby recommend that Ira E. Smith,Esq.,
be voted for at the next session of the
State Legislature by our Representative
and Senator for the position of Solicitor
General of the Brunswick Circuit, and we
recommend him to the members of the en
tire Legislature as a fit and proper pel on
to fill the office of Solicitor General of the
circuit.”
The Cartersville Free Press feels great
sympathy for Hill, the slayer of Simmons,
in Atlanta, and speaks to him these words
of cheer: “We say to Hill that there ar
thousand of hearts in Georgia who will
make such an appeal to the Governor for
his pardon that His Excellency cannot and
will not refuse to grant it. It will he a
vast labor on the part of those who will do
it; and let Sam Hill wait for them to act.
Let him endure even further humiliation
if for nothing else except in deference to
his friends. He now comes under debt to
them as duty to himself and those whom
he loves.” i

It now has a circulation much larger'than anv
other American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which is at all times prepared to spend liberally
for the benefit ol its readers. People of all condi
tions of Ufe 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 buxine
and reading it. J e
In its comments on men and affairs. The Sun be
lieves that the only guide of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose. For
the reason it is, and will 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 chat its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the posibility of being
misunderstood. It is uninfluenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no opin
ions to sell, save those which may b'e had by anv
purchaser for two cents. It hates injustice and
rascality even more than it hates unnecessary
words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and de
plores nincompoops of every species. It will con
tinue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first cl iss, 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 triends whenever occa
sion 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 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 (he part
of every 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 contest of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election, to
be held in November. Four years ago next Nov
ember the will of the nation, as expressed at the*
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspir
acy. and promoters and beneficiaries of which still
hold the officers they hold. Will the'erime of ls7o
be repeated in ISSOV 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 hy the
indignation of the people. Will they succeed? The
coming year will bring the answer to these mo
mentous questions: The Sun will he 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.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.
During the coming year—a year that
will witness the progress and culmination
of the most interesting political contest that has
ever taken place in this country—every citizen
and every thoughtful person will be compelled to
rely upon the newspapers for information. Why
not get the best ? Abroad The Constitution is
recognized, referred to and quoted from as the
leading Southern Journal—as the organ and vehi
cle of the best Southern thought and opinion—
and at home its columns are consulted for the
latest news, the freshest comment, and for all
matters of special and current interest. The Con
stitution contains more and later telegraphic
news than any other Georgia paper, and this par
ticular feature will be largely added to during the
coming year. All its facilities for gathering the
latest news from all parts of the country wall be
enlarged and supplemented. The Constitution
is both a chronicler and commentater. Its edito
rial opinions, its contributions to the drift of cur
rent discussion, its humorous and satirical par
agraphs, are copied from one end of the country
to the other. It aims always to be the brightest
and the best—newsy, original and piquant. It
aims particularly to give the news impartially and
fully, and to keep its readers informed on the drift
of current discussion by liberal but concise quo
tations from all of its contemporaries. It aims, in
short, to more than ever deserve to be known as
‘•the leading Southern newspaper.” Bill Arp will
continue to contribute his unique letters, which
grow in savory humor week by week. “Old Si”
will add his quaint fun to the collection of good
things, and “Uncle Remus” has in preparation a
series of negro myth legends, illustrating the folk
lore of the old plantation. In every respect The
Constitution for 1880 will be better than ever.
The Weekly Constitution is a carefully edited
compendium cf the news of the week and con
tains the best and freshest matter to be found in
-any other weekly from a daily office. Its news
and miscellaneous contents are the freshest and
its market reports the latest.
