Saturday Morning, December 8,1876.
J. R. RANDALL, Editor.
The Oldest Democratic Paper in the
Slate of Georgia.
CURRENT TOPICS.
f ]~rrT>T:Vs majority iQ Indiana was four
5’5—5,555.
General Roger is a Wisconsin man, and
he votes the Republican ticket.
Kellogg had a little board,
As black as any crow,
And every wav that Kellogg wont
The board was sure to go.
—St. Louts Ttmes.
Twenty-eight years we have been editor
of the Freeman, and, in all these twenty
eight years, even under great provocation,
we have insisted on Catholics keeping
aloof from this or that party, as Catholics.
—J. A.McMaster.
A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette declares that Mrs. Sab
tohis has grown noticeably plain since hei
marriage. As Nellie Grant she was
sweet faced and fresh looking, but as the
wife of an extremely ordinary man she has
become stolid, stout and decidedly unin
teresting in appearance.
Cincinnati Gazette: It transpires that
Dr. Wbbb, a brother of Mrs. Hayes, mar
ried a sister of Stanley Matthews, and
that Mrs. Stanley Matthews is the sister
of Henby Watterson’s mother. This es
tablishes a close relationship between
Watebson and Hayes, and accounts for the
proposition that the latter was about to
■clasp Wade Hampton to his bosom, and
thereby secure the Presidency.
Many remember Mr. Osgood’s misfor
tune in the pulpit. He once knocked at a
horn-bug and hit the lamp, which fell to
the floor. He coolly waited until It was
picked up, and, returning it unbroken, said:
“Good glass! Let us pray.” While preach
ing in the “Parish house” he suddenly
asked, “Who’s asleep ?” It was suggested
that the noi e was not snoring, but came
from the ducks in the basement. Again ho
stopped. “Someone is asleep.” Profound
silence and continuance of the sermon, a
third time he stopped; “Will somebody
rouse that young man in thegalleij .
The young man was roused, and proved to
be his own son, who, like Byron, woke to
And himself famous. Another of his pul
pit sayings was, “Will the brother in the
gallery with the squeaking boots sit?”
When the old Universalist church on State
street was being built, the doctor accosted
Gov. Trask with, “Well, Brother Trask,
what are you building here?” Trask re
plied, "A house where the truth will be
preached.” “If it is,” was the repartee,
“there will be a scattering among the Uni
versallsts.” One of the quickest replies is
that given to Mr. Bacon: “Why is it. Mr.
Or good,” he asked, “that they call the
head of a hog a minister’s face ?” The
doctor did not relish the slur on his pro
fession, and said, “I don’t know. Perhaps
for the same reason they call the other
end the bacon.”
N. O. Democrat: Wells and Anderson
were entirely disinterested in the business
they have ju3t got through with and by
which they propose to swindle the people
of Louisiana out of honest government
and Gov. Tilden out of the Presidency.
Wells has a small claim of $450,000 against
the Federal Government—a Southern claim
—and it is a dead sure thing that if a Dem
ocratic Administration come3 into power
liis claim will not be worth a copper.
Should Hayes be inaugurated President and
the Republicans retain their abused power
through this damnable fraud of the Re
turning Board, the chances are that a large
portion of the $430,0H0, if not all of it, will
be allowed. Tom Anderson was almost as
much disinterested in counting in a Radi
cal majority on joint ballot in the Legisla
ture as his compatriot was in returning
the Hayes electors. If the Radicals “get
away" with this rascally business, Ander.
son will be elected, by the Legislature ho
and Wells have created, to the United
States Senate. Kellogg was also disinter
ested in using the influence of the State
Government to accomplish and sustain the
villainy. He, with Anderson, according to
the programme, is to be alected to the Sen
ate. The negro gambler and thief and the
negro undertaker will be provided for in a
smaller way. A nice lay-out.
N. F. Herald: The ground taken by Gov.
Chamberlain in an interview with a Herald
correspondent foreshadows the course that
will be pursued by the Republicans in this
emergency. They claim that when their
House first assembled they had a quorum,
excluding from the count of the full House
the members from the rejected counties of
Edgefield and Laurens; that no member
who took the oath in the Mackey House
had a right to join the Democratic body
afterward, and that with a quorum, as the
judge of the qualifications of their own
members, they had a right to admit the
defeated candidates from Edgeiield, Lau
rens or any other unrepresented counties.
Of course the original position taken by
the Chamberlain party is untenable.
A quorum of a legislative body
means a majority of the num
ber of members of which it is com
posed. How is the presence of a quorum
ascertained in legislative business? Sim
ply by calling the roll, and proving wheth
er or not a majority of the w'hole body is
in attendance. A majority passes the
House only when a majority of all the
members composing tho House vote in its
favor. There are one hundred and twenty
eight members of the New York State Leg
islature, of whom sixty-live are a quorum.
Does any one suppose that if there should
be half a dozen vacancies in the Assembly
through deaths or other causes less than
sixty-five would be a quorum of thatbody?
To state the case is to prove the shallow
ness of the claim of the Chamberlain
House to have ever had a legal quorum,
and to have ever done the first legal act.
“The stamp of fate, the sanction of a god.’’
The New York San questions very much
whether the theory that a man may be
regularly and legally elected President and
another put in his place by fraudulent
counting can be carried out, and the editor
asks: ‘‘But how is it if one branch of the
Government, and that the popular branch,
filled with representatives fresh from the
people, decline to recognize the fraud V
Suppose the House of liepresentatives
steadl'y refuses to go on with a President
so obtained? \V ho shall cure that difficul
ty? The great commons of the people,
representing first, a vast popular majority,
and secoudly, a clear majority of the elec
toral vote, and thirdly, tho entire body of
fair-minded men of the nation—how is its
resolute purpose, not to become a party to
such a crime, ever to be overcome? These
are the momentous questions to be con
sidered by the statesmen of the Republi
can party. Can its conservative leaders
afford to carry out the scheme of the des
perate political gamblers who have, in
their disappointment as managers of the
canvass, contrived this villa ny to turn
defeat into a seeming and false victory ?
Is it not plain that this question is not one
to be settled against the judgment of the
House by the simple declaration of an
officer of the Senate that Mr. Hayes is
e'ected President? Neither could it be
settled by the act of inauguration. These
"e but steps in the progress of the fraud,
and it never can be finally consummated
until the House ratifies the foul transao
flon."
While it is to be regretted that cir
cumstanoes arose in our late municipal
efccfion which met with unqualified
condemnation, atill what is done is
done, and the best thing now is to
hope that no injury will re&ult from
the extraordinary canvass made by
the rival contestants. Both Mr.
Meyeb and Mr. Mat are citizens of
eminence and repute. They both bad
large and enthusiastic followings,
among all classes; but as one
only had to triumph, it was much
consolation to know that the af
fairs of the city would be safe in the
hands of either. It has been the fate of
Mr. May to remain in the private station
which he has so long adorned : it is the
fortune of Mr. Mkyer to add another
bright chaplet to a brow, which has
been, for many years, crowned with
official honors. We believe that the
city will be safe in his hands ; that he
will be entirely faithful to his high
trust ; and that, with the assis
tance of an intelligent Council, all will
be well with our municipality. We
shall, to the best of our ability, sup
port and encourage the newly-elected
City Government. The new Mayor has
an arduous task before him, but he will
no doubt prove more than the master
of it, supported as he is by solid hu
man talents, and sustained by an un
faltering trust in Divine Providence.
We are satisfied that no one will
more cordially co-operate in an era of
good feeling and prosperity than Hon %
R. H. May himself; and his devoted fol
lowers will not be laggard in rallying
to the support of that which is supe
rior to any personal claim—the welfare
of the city of Augusta, a cause near
the hearts of all.
Let Us Patronize Our Friends.
We see it editorially charged that at
the Saco water-power machine shops
no Democrat has been employed for
years ; that, though some employees
wished to vote with the Democrats,
this year, all of the 300 or 400 men
voted the Republican ticket, fearlDg
discharge, as the company’s clerk and
the overseers were looking after the
men, all election day, the shops being
closed for that purpose.
Jußt now, when there is a tremen
dous outcry on the part of the Repub
licans against what they call “intimi
dation” in the South, it is a matter of
some importance for Southern people
to know a thing or two about Republi
can bull-dozing at the North. The
Saco machine shops furnish an apt il
lustration. This is the more pertinent
as we have ascertained that the Colum
bus, Ga., cotton mills have ordered
8300,000 worth of machinery from this
company which not only employs ao De
mocrat, but exercises terrorism at the
polls over the more independent of its
workmen who desired to vote for Til
den and Reform. We submit, without
meaning to dictate how a mail or cor
poration shall spend money, that the
people of the South should not, on
principle, strengthen the hands of bit
ter Radical concerns at the North, when
purchases can be made with equal
benefit, in the same section, from Dem
ocratic manufacturers. In our columns
will be found the advertisement of the
Lowell Machine Shop. Its articles are
equal to the best; its terms of the
most favorable character, and its offi
cers Democrats and opposed to the
Radical domination that has so long
insulted and ruined the South. The
goods turned out by this Lowell firm
are known and appreciated all over the
South, for their uniform excellence.
The firm also spends money liberally
at the South in advertising. We pro
foundly regret that tho owners or
directors of the new Columbus Cotton
Mill did not patronize the Democratic
Lowell corporation instead of the
rabid bull-dozing Saco concern. We
believe in the South helping those who
help her at the North, and giving a
cold shoulder to her enemies and per
secutors in that section.
The bogus Radical Congressmen of
the Returning Boards will never sit in
the House as members. Mark that.
Jim Blaine is In an excellent state of
health. Sunstrokes are out of order
now. Let his patriotic stealings be in
vestigated.
Pig-Ibos Kelley gives the Louisiana
Returning Board a good character.
But who will give Kelley a good char
acter after this ?
Mr. Seelye hopes that Borne elector
in Massachusetts will be bold enough
and brave enough to vote for Mr. Til
den and settle the Presidential dispute.
We print this morning a communica
tion from Columbia, S. C., which pre
sents Mr. Reedish, a Republican mem
ber of the Hampton Legislature, in a
most favorable light.
American securities fell 1 per cent,
in Europe when Grant marched his
troops around in the South. Were
any of the Administration or its friends
engaged in a “bear” movement ?
In 1865, Clerk McPherson, of the
House of Representatives, ruthlessly
excluded the Southern members, and
preserved a terrible Radical majority,
which was the fruitful source of all
our woes, North and South. The tables
are turned this time. A Democratic
Clerk will call a halt to Radical usurp
ers.
Jim Blaine need not get on too high
a horse. He is not out of the woods
yet. A letter from a person intelligent
upon the subject at Washington, says
that, in spite of the absorption of the
public interest in the Presidential ques
tion, investigation must surely go on,
and that in the end Blaine will have to
succumb. The writer continues: “His
chickens are coming home to roost
rapidly, and just as soon as the ice is
once broken the men who know him
will flock into the witness box from all
quarters. He has come back to Wash
ington terribly worried, haviDg failed'
in Boston to pledge Warren Fisher to
silence. I look for nothing less than
hta expulsion from the Senate and his
defeat In the Maine Legislature.”
The concluding passage of the New
York Herald's editorial on the Oregon
electoral vote, which is telegraphed
this morning, hits the nail on the head
exactly. The Radical engineer has
been hoist by his own petard. The
Republicans insisted upon the “forms
of law” and by St. PaUlI they have
got thetfi with a vengeance. Governor
Grover, of Oregon, has acted strictly
within the Constitution, and has done
more to solve a great problem than
any man in the Union. No doubt
Governor Tilden had a finger in
this pie, and, at the right time, pierced
mortally the rhinoceros hide of the
enemy, just where he was most tender
and vulnerable.
In this connection, it is reported this
morning by telegraph that the Radi
cals at Washington who set out to fire
185 guns in honor of Hates, succeeded
in wounding a man and stopped at the
110th round. And that’s .just about
where Hayes & Cos. may as well atop.
Meanwhile, the Damocrats fired their
salute of 204 guns with perfect security
and success.
We aaid, a few days ago, that we
should not bo surprised if,, within a
week, the bottom would fall out of the
Radical tub. We think that surmise
has been verified.
Golden Words.
Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour made
a speech to the Presidential electorsjof
New Y'ork, the conclusion of which was
as follows:
“The Democratic party is too strong
to be violent; it will not forfeit the
confidence of the people by any dis
play of passion; it can assert itself
through the regular channels of politi
cal aotion. Frauds may delay the
course of j ustice, may excite passions
hurtful to the progress of our country,
but legal and just punishment will
surely follow. That party which con
trols towns, couuties and States will
control the country. The President,
against w hom is arrayed the body of
the people, is an object of sympathy,
not of fear. This is not a subject which
belongs alone to those who are actively
engaged in political affairs. It is a
great American question, which ooa
cerns every citizen and every home.
They can make a great exhibition of
the genius of our government and of
the power of its citizens by a calm re
buke to frenzied rulers. Even those
who desperately seek to hide the re
cords of past misconduct from the
knowledge of our people will quail be
fore au aroused public. One thing all
men see: The Republican party cannot
decide its oven case in its own favor
against the majority of the American
people, upon the certificate of branded
men in Louisiana, without making the
body of our citizens and the world at
large feel that it is a corrupt and par
tisan decision. We cannot have Mexi
can politics without Mexican finances
and Mexican disorders. Tho business
men in all civilized countries have been
taught by recent bankruptcies and dis
orders in governments made unstable
by agitations, to be watchful and dis
trustful when they see the slightest
deviation from political honor, without
which there cm be no financial honor.”
There are several honest Republicau8 f
white and colored, iu the Constitutional
House of Representatives at Columbia,
8. C., who deserve and will receive the
praise of all good men. The boldest,
and not the least wise, Is Thomas Ham
ilton, of Beaufort, a colored man who
has shown himself to be as talented as
he is patriotic.
The Springfield Republican has this
brief but suggestive editorial: “There
is a striking passage in Coleridge to
the effect that he who begins by loving
Christianity better than the truth will
proceed by loving his own sect better
thau Christianity, and end by loviDg
himself better than all. If this is true
in religion, it must be much more true
in politics; if we suffer our zeal for
truth as truth to be clouded by the in
terests even of the purest patriotism,
we are in peril lest the cause of our own
faction soon overshadow that of our
country, and self-interest soon become
paramount. The allegiance of the
press, which forms and declares popu
lar sentiment, is due to the truth first;
to the country and the party after
ward. But in all the United States,
where three-fourths of the newspapers
of the world are published, how few of
them are able to see this!”

The different editions of The Sun duriug
the next year will be the same as during
the year that has just passed. Ihe daily
edition will ou week days be a sheet of four
pages, and on Sundays a sheet of eight
pages, 0r56 broad colums; while the week
ly edition vill be a sheet of eight pages of
the same dimensions and character that
are already familiar to our triends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenu
ous advocate of reform and retrenchment,
and of the substitution of statesmanship,
wisdom, and integrity for hollow pretence,
imbecility, and fraud in t e administration
of public affairs. It will contend for the
government of the people by the people
and for the people, as opposed to govern
ment by frauds in the ballot-box and in the
counting of votes, enforced by military
violence. It will endeavor to supply its
readers—a body now not far from a million
of souls-with the most careful, complete
and trustworthy accounts of current
event-, and will employ tor this purpose a
numerous aud carefully selected staff of
reporters and correspondents. Its reports
from Washington, especially, wili be full,
accurate and fearless; and it will doubtless
continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of
those who thrive by plundering the Treas
ury or by usurping wh-.it the law does not
give them, while b will endeavor to merit
the confidence of the public by defending
the rights or the people against encroach
ments of unjustified power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55
cents a mouth or str 50 a year, post paid,
or with the r-unday euition $7.70 a year.
The Sunpay edition alone, eight pages,
$1 20 a year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages, of 56
broad columns, will be furnished during
1677 at the rate of $1 a year, pest paid.
The benetit of tins large reduction from
the previous rate for the Weekly' eaa be
enjoyed by individual subscribers without
the necessity of making up clubs. At the
same time, if anyt-of our friends choose to
aid in extending our circulation, we shall
be grateful to them, and every such person
who sends us ten or more subscribers from
one place will be entitled to one copy of
the paper for himself without charge. At
one dollar a year, postige paid, the ex
penses of paper and printing are barely re
paid ; and, considering the size of the sheet
and the quality of its contents, we are con
fident the people will consider The Week
ly Sun the cheapest newspaper published
in the world, ana wo trust also oue of the
very best.
