'‘ grumble p Prices at ■ e ’ and see 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 hy ♦ho Dpmiwafa, sa wa hoar Important. to Gentlemen.—ls you wan a good '’WtlM clothing,boots or shoes, hats shirts, bows, collars, undershirts and draw ers, etc., etc., of the latest styles and to suit your pockets, go to Steininger & En gel's Flint River Stores.

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, ing. Goods at New Yolk prices at the 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. A complete stock of first-class family P'oceries, consisting of new mackerel in a.its aud quarter barrels, cheese, butter, sugar, coffee, bacon, flour, rice, salt, crack jiickles, jellies, Sc., at Steininger A City Telegrams. Advertise and do well. Weather cold this week. Sugar cane crops abundant. Some watermelons still in existence. A wife beating took place in town this week. The circulation of the Six still on the increase. Jesse Wilder has nice fresh oysters. The Flint River Store has a young wild cat as a pet. The Good Templars continue to have their meetings every Tuesday night.. Jim Van iforn has allowed some one to impose anew hat upon him. Water melons have become tasteless, insipid, and as full of ague and fever as is an egg of meat. The whiskey shops closed Up Wednes day. A two wheel vehicle ran away with a pair of oxen Wednesday. One of our printers and a gay aud fes tive Vat had a foot race yesterday. Sorge Gaw backer is the most short sighted man we ever saw. He mistook one of our beauties on the street for—we won’t say what. The hucksters did a good business Wed nesday. Our Ordinary will now sell marriage li censes at half price. Quick sales and small profits. A negro in this city in electioneering wanted his voice heard from the “Colantic to the Excific.” 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 vertising pays better than any other in vestment a business man cau make. Mr. James Watt has removed hi3 gun store to South-broad street. Dr. A. T. Bowne and family returned from the North this wrek. All the stores of our Jewish citizens were closed on Thursday, it being holiday. We learn that the Democrats are going to contest the eleeiion in this county. Ehrlich is running his beef market again. Some of the young “boys” of the Ger man Club were pretty jolly Thursday night. * We can name several white men, good Democrats of course, who never voted Wednesday at all. Winter clothes are becoming fashiona ble. Let us not give up hope, but let us work the harder to carry the county next time. The finest, cheapest, largest and taost complete stock of Dry Goods can be found at Flint River Stors, also velveteens and valorns in all colors, suitable for trimmings S^f all Fraous.—Mr. Wm.

Mr. Yates refused to return the blows be cause it was Sunday. Tlie difficulty oc curred about clogs: 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.

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.

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.
