The Eagle of Liberty.
At about 9 o’clock on Wednesday night,
after the election, one of ofir prominent
street comers was made the scene of an
oratorical exhibition, which would most
certainly put to bluth the efforts of old
Mr. Demosthenes in days gone by.
An individual who shall be nameless,
and who had apparently taken leave of
the old folks at home and been out to
“see some gentleman,” while floating errat
ically homeward, suddenly took up his po
sition at the corner and opened a grand
and brilliant oratiod to an imaginary audi
ence, which, however, soon became a real
congregation of admiring listeners. The
nocturnal orator electrified his hearers by
such bursts of eloquence as were never
heard before, while his daring efforts tore
tain the centre of gravity, were a source of
genuine amusement, and seemingly keenly
relished by his respectible auditory of
boot blacks and yard sweepers.
This devoted son ot Backus had evi
dently been seeking in the flowing bowl
consolation for disappointed political
cxi»ectation. as his frequent allusions to the
“eagle of liberty,” “40 acres and a mule,”
‘ purity of the ballot box,” aud other lilje
expressions, dearly indicated.
As an amusing entertainment the ora
tion was a success, and it was with uii
feigned regret that his hearers witnessed
his downfall.
We looked to see the performance con
tinued in the Mayor's court, but hud
wedther and rheumatics on the part of
our Marshall, necessitated its indefinite
postponement.
The Election.
The election was quietly conducted in
this city—not a single incident occurred
to mar the peace of the town. A large
number of negroes were early in town,
and at 8 o’clock the voting commenced,
and was kept up until the closing of tte
polls in the ovening. The official returns
stand as follows •
GOVERNOR.
Walkhf, 1057.
Smith, 853.
Walkers’ Majority. 204.
BKXATOB. A
Brim berry, 1040.
Bruton, 703.
Bush, 94.
Brimberry’B majority over both. 243.
representatives.
Swearengen, Rad. 1057.
Nicholson, negro, 1041.
Butts, l'em. 847.
Butler, Dem. Ml.
The majority of Swearengen and Nich
olson stand 210 and 200.
The precints of Rock Pond, Pine Hill
and Lime Sink were thrown out on ac
count of informality, the ballot boxes not
being sealed according to law. The pre
cincts would have made the vote consider
ably larger, and the Republican majority
also larger. The election will fie contested

Good Advice.
“You will always find it to your advan
tage to trade with those merchants who
advertise.” 'This advice is given by an
old man of experience, and it will be found
true in every instance ; for we tell you
candidly, that the merchant who is not
able to advertise in his local paper, is not
able to give you bargains. TTere in Bain
bridge w r e have several merchants who are
able to advertise, and of our own knowl
edge, we can say, they will give you full
value for your money. Read the advertis
ing columns of the Sun, and you will find
who these liberal merchants are. They
believe in the good old maxim : “Live
and let live,” and are conscious of the
fact, that the sustenance of their local pa
per is necessary for the prosperity of the
town.
Prints at 8, 10 and 12 L cents per yard
also all other goods suitable for housekeep,

Flint River Stoles.
Returned.
Mr. R. M. Johnston, Editor and Pro
prietor of this paper, returned home on
Saturday last iroin a visit up the country,
ami, we are sorry to say, is suffering very
much from an attack of rheumatism,
which, however, only partially detains him
from business, he having superintended the
issuing of this editiou. The local force is
••all right.” but our senior has Crowded us
out this week with au over plus of politi
cal mftttef.
We refer the reader to the able and
truly patriotic letter of Col. Gee, to fie
found iii another column. The entire
letter is fraught with seiitirtients of pure
patriotism, and Col. Gee may rest assured
that his htgh-miuded and honorable de
terioration to sacrifice self ior the good
of his country, has not made him a single
enemy among the good and thinking men
of the District:
The reason why Steininger Sc Engel at
their Flint River Stores, can sell goods for
less than any other house in Bainbridge.
because they buy for cash. Occupy three
stores, two in Bainbridge, one at Valdosta,
tor which they need a large quantity of
goods which they purchase from agents
aud importers direct by the packages.
Steininger & Engle are just receiving
from the West and North, the largest stock
of Groceries ever brought td Baiubridge,
which they ate offering at prices to suit
the times.

P'oceries, consisting of new mackerel in

Some people got mighty mad about
what we said in our extra Tuesday—but
then we can't help it, you know.
Some business men profess to believe
that advertising is of no advantage to
them. This is a mistake. Judicious ad

Money Lost.— Last week a lady friend
of ours, sent a Liter containing one dollar
and a half, to Augusta Ga., through the
mail. It never reached there. Truly,
Grant’s mail arrangements are uncertain
mediums to carry green backs election
times. Contributions must be getting
heavier than our most excellent Majestie’s
Subjects can bear and hence they are
gathering up the small floating
through the mails.

Dr. J. J. Subers.

Happy. —Our Senior editor’s face was
made to glow oue day this week, by the
reception of a handsome present from one
of the fair ones of this county. Though
he has ndt had the pleasure of meeting
her, he feels that he Is acquainted with
her, or ought to be, or wants to be—we’ll
get it right after a while—as she has been
a constant reader of the Sun since his
management of it. We shall never for
get our fair young friehd.
New German Club.—We are pleased to

Sale of River Steamers.—Ellis & Har
rison sold at auction yesterday, for the
Sheriff. thi,o boat; belonging to the Jack
sonville and Pensacola Railroad. They
were disposed of under attachments in
which the I lorida Construction Company
and the A. A G. R. R are plaintiffs. The
boats were sold as they are at the wharf.
The New Jackson was sold to Major R.
J. Moses for $4,1 Off; the Barnett to Mr.
Rilev Brown, acting for the Central Line
of Boats for $675; the Shamrock to Mr.
Riley Brown, for the Columbus Iron
Works, for $4Ol.
The Shamrock was built at Columbus
in 1854 ; the Barnett at Pittsburg in 1866;
the Jackson at Columbus in 1569. We
understand the original cost was in the
neighborhood of $50,000.
A gentleman, well acquainted with the
transaction tells us that the Jacksonville,
Pensacola and Mobile Railroad paid Mr.
A. Barnett, the then owner, £IB.OOO ster
ling, or about $90,000 cash for these boats
—an awful price; but Florida bonds were
easily procured by carpet-baggers and ad
venturers in those days.—Columbus Sun.

“Our veteran Couniy Judge, oh last

young attorneys reproached hiip soy
not listening: Rousing hiinseif
rubbing his byes, his Honor shouted :
‘ Mr. Sheriff, take that man to jail;
I intend to put a stop to the impu
dence of these lawyers. This Court
has been on the bench long enough
to understand a case just as well
when it’s asleep as when it’s awake.’ ”
