NEIf YORK. 18 77. The different ed: s of The Sun during the next year will be the same as during the year that has just passed. The daily edition will on week days be a sheet of four pages, and on .Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or si> broad columns; while the weekly edition will I).' a sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions and character that are already familiar to our friends. Tiie Sen will continue to he the strenuous advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the substitution of statesmanship, wis dom, and integrity for hollow pretence, im becility, and fraud in the administration of public affairs. It will contend for the gov ernment of the people by the people and for the people, as opposed to government 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 events, and will employ for this purpose a numeious and carefully selected stiff of reporters and correspond ents. Its reports from Washington, espe cially, will be full, accurate and fearless, and it will doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what the law does not give them, while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of the public by defending tlie rights of the people against the encroachments of unjustified power. The price of the daily Sun will he 55 cents a month or $0.50 a year, post paid, or with the (Sunday edition $7.70 a year. The .Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20 a year, post paid. The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 50 broad columns, will he furnished during 1877 at the rate of $1 a year, post paid. The benefit of this large reduction from the previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by individual subscribers without the necessity of making up clubs. At the same time, if any of our friends choose to aid in extending our circulation, we shall he 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, postage paid, the expenses oi paper and printing are barely repaid; and, considering the size of the sheet and the quality of its contents, we are confident the people will consider Tiie Weekly .Sun the cheapest newspaper published in the world, and we trust also one of the very best.

AVo clip the following tis tho ex pressed views of Senator Gordon from the special correspondent of the At lanta Connlihdion: I had a long talk with Senator Gor don to-night. The Senator has been suffering terribly with a pressure on his brain, which binds itself like a cord about his forehead. Ho has continued, however, to mingle in af fairs and give his wise attention to tho tremendous matters now pressing for daily solution. His views on the sit uation will be interesting. “I never doubted,” said he, “and I am now absolutely assured of the fact (ind from Republican sources too) that if tho Democrats had from iirst to last, PRESENTED AN UNBROKEN FRONT and given notice of their inexorable purpose of resisting to the very last extremity any attempt to seat a fraud ulent President, that the Republicans would never have attempted to seat Hayes. I know this to be so. The uncertain policy of tho Democrats, the reported divisions in the ranks and their alleged willingness TO SUBMIT PEACEABLY TO ANY USURPA TION, encouraged the Republicans to such an extent that the electoral bill be came a necessity. Now-mark tuc. If the Democrats had but presented an unbroken front the Republicans would never have gone to extreme measures, and the electoral bill would never have been thought of. “What course then would the Dem ocrats have pursued ? Why, simply this: The House would have thrown out Florida and Louisiana, and if the Senate did not follow suit, the House would either have elected Tiklen out right, or would have provided a bill ordering A NEW ELECTION NEXT NOVEMBER, making some decent Republican act ing President, until that time. Of course the new’ election would have resulted iu Tilden’s triumph. But I believe that tho Senate would have voted to throw out Louisiana, aud. possibly Florida, if there had been no electoral commission; if the Demo crats had been determined aud undi vided from the first. “But that is all past, and w’e must look to the future. Hayes’ prompt disavowal of the offensive article in the Ohio State Journal prevented the inauguration of movements that will keep him out of tho White House. What will become of the Democracy in four years ? A GRAND, SWEEPING VICTORY awaits them, beyond tlio sliaodw of a doubt, if they will remain in ranks, and keep the party intact. The coun try will repudiate the fraud by which the Republicans have established their usurpation, just as surely as the time arrives for them to vote. Our only danger is this; that Hayes by glittering offers, by really conservative and liberal action, will DISINTEGRATE OUll SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY, and put us in danger of losing some of the Southern States. Such a pros pect as this would demoralize our friends in the North. The Republi cans will make herculean efforts to capture southern Democrats and de bauch the southern party. His friends have already petitioned Grant to “hold his haudz off” of Louisiana and Carolina, and leave the solution of those problems to Hayes. Their ob ject is plain. It is intended that the new President SHALE HAVE ALL THE APPLAUSE that the recognition of the Hampton and Nicholls government will win. You will perceive at once that this advantage will be a tremendous one. The full and prompt recognition of the honest governments of those two States will give him an opportunity to signalize the opening of his adminis tration that few Presidents, if any President, ever had A JUDICIOUS DISTRIBUTION OF THE OF FICES in his gift among the southern Dem ocrats is relied upon to further, or complete this disintegration. It is plain that no Southern Democrat should accept office under Hayes. It shall be my purpose to advise all who approach me on the subject to have nothing to do with it. Our only safety, and it seems to me our only honor is in bolding ourselves abso lutely aloof from this fraudulent and usurpatory administration. If this is done we shall reap a glorious harvest four years from now. THE MOST HORRIBLE RESULT, it seems to me, that can como from a division in our party in the South is demoralizing and the miserable scuffle ' that will ensue over tho negro vote. It will be a sad day for the South, when we see decent white men array ed against each other, and engaged in a deadly struggle, the prize of which is a batch of ignorant and cor rupt negro voters. I hope and pray that the PARTY WILL PRESERVE ITS ORGANIZATION and save its honor. And I believe it will. I have no idea that Hayes or any other man can buy tho sentiment yf the South with a few potty offices, or debauch with patronage a party that lias proved its heroism and dem onstrated its fortitude and purity as the Southern Democracy has.” Du.

The following preamble aud reso lutions were introduced in the House of RepresenlntivcMNby Colonel Hood, of Randolph, and unanimously adopt ed by both Houses, on the 22d ultimo. Wo publish them as apposite in this particular crisis iu public affairs at Washington. The following preamble and resolu tions were introduced in the House Representatives on the 22d day of February, the birth-day of Washing ton, and were unanimously adopted by both Houses: “We, the representatives of the people of Georgia iu general assembly met, deem it a duty which we owe to ourselves, our common country and posterity, to utter a voice of condem nation as well as of warning, in view of the state of the republic. The dis regard which for years has been shown for the strict letter of the law lias naturally degenerated into a dis regard and defiance of its spirit and we now stand confronted with tre mendous peril to liberty itself. Our servants have been our masters and neither tho laws nor the constitution can protect us. Could reason be left free to combat error and the people to effect reforms where they are needed, we should be hopeful of the future. But the facts of our present politi cal history declare that the very safe guards of the ballot have been taken away from us by the wicked instru mentalities which have been devised for the purpose of robbing the people of power and free suffrage, and we are powerless to redress our wrongs. The patriotic of all parties can but fee! how earnest the effort was 111 our recent Presidential election to redress the evils which were affecting the country by a peaceful and honest use of the ballot, and the whole world proves how a wicked oligarchy has defeated tho purpose. If fraud no longer vitiates the actions of men or States then, indeed, are we hopeless of the corrupt and lawless who now hold power and may hold it forever. If the highest tribunal in our land which we have fondly looked to as the last stronghold of freedom, lias 'declared that frauds on liberty and law must stand unreversed and irre versable, then, indeed, are we a doomed people. With the law tram pled upon, the name of State sov ereignty a by-word ot reproach, gov ernments, in the South, at least, set tip ami pulled down at will, and the foundation of justice itself polluted, it does seem that the overthrow of our common government is imminent. Iu the present state of the republic the voice of every patriot is needed; apathy is a crime, and silent acquies cence ia the conspiracy against our liberties is ruin. Besot cud, by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assem bly met, that we hereby declare it to be the sense of this Assembly, as well as the firm belief of the people of Georgia, that Samuel J. Tilden was fairly elected President of the United States for the ensuing four years, and that Thomas A. Hendricks was elected for the same term Vice-President, and if they shall fail of a peaceful inaugu ration, then will the people of the United States have been defrauded of their choice and a fatal blow be given to public honor and to the stability and integrity of the government. Resolved, by tlio authority afore said, that the General Assembly views with alarm and most decided con demnation, and hereby enters into solemn protest agaiust the interfer ence of the authorities of the general Government with the full exercise of the ballot in the several States, whether that interference is mani fested in the control of returning boards or in the presence of United States troops at the polls, or in the arbitrary elevation of its favorites to supreme power iu place of those chosen by the people.

The Last Chance.— Tlio Now York Sun says: “J. Madison Wells will get back bis big pistol, liisbowie knife, and bis rillo cane about the 4th of March, but lie will hardly get another chance to sell the electoral vote of his native Stato to the highest bidder.” It is to be hoped so. But after the precedent which has been set in the case of Louisiana there is certainly much encouragement to the same sort of people to go on in their nefarious business hereafter. One more inci dent of making a President in the same way would probably end the whole business cf popular elections on a national field in this country. The people may bo relied upon, how ever, as we think, to effectually pre vent tho recurrence of suck a specta cle. my ♦ The author of the phrase “Invinci ble in Peace, Invisible in War” which lias been ascribed to Beu. Hill, was the late Captain George 11. Derby, better known us “John Phoenix,” who, while iu San Francisco, at a public dinner of tho stato militia, gave as a toast: ‘-'The California Militia; Invin cible iu Peace, “Invisible iu War.” Tiie Republican Party on its Death-Bed. The Republican party is really to day in sore need. On the popular vote it is in a minority. In tho Elec toral Colleges its strength rests en tirely upon such extraordinary ex pedients as partisan returning boards, constituted for the sole purpose of destroying tho polls. In the next Sennto its once enormous preponder ance is reduced to four or five ma jority. In the House it will be in a minority. One after another of its groat leaders has been suppressed or driven away, until in tiie next House Gov. Cox, of Ohio, will stand out almost alone as conspicuous for public service. It is only undue charity which accords to Garfield or Eugene Hale capacity for leadership. Iu the Senato Edmunds, Cu;’:!ing, and Geo. F. Hoar may bo considered strong men and leaders. Christiancy anti Booth are Independents. Blaine must yet rehabilitate his reputation. Mor ton and John Sherman, certainly tho former, can scarcely be called vital izing forces in party. Nor are we better off in respect of measures than of men. Upon finance and tariff we have no policy. Upon reconstruction of the South the policy we have must be abandoned, aud we must own up to having made a miser able and criminal failure of tho whole business. What is left for us but to die ?—Boston Transcript. , When tho Senate was discussing the release of Mr. Jordan, Cashier of the Third National Bank, from alleg ed contempt on Friday week last, Brother Blaine gave vent to some vir tuous indignation. Indeed, he spoke with great emphasis and feeling in j regard to investigating committees, las he had a right to do. Here is a i specimen of the rebuke administered | on that occasion: “I do not wish to lie understood ns ! believing myself at all iu the policy of j going into every back room and pri vate drawer aud personal memoran dum and portmonaic and bank ac count of every man in the United j States, whether lie is a Democrat or whether he is a Republican.” In this enumeration tho Senator with great delicacy does not refer to the subject of personal letters relating | to jobbery, though he evidently points in that direction when ho includes i “personal memorandum” in the list i which he prescribes from investiga tion. Brother Blaine lias been i through the mill, and he knows how it feels to bo ground into fine pow | der.— N. Y. Sun. i The New York World gives an ac curately compiled statement of the vote for Presidential electors, which is very melancholy reading just now. The Democratic majority on the pop ular vote was 204,829. It is entirely unnecessary for us to state the ma jority in the Electoral College. The j entire vote lor Air. Tilden was 4,305,- 03G; for Mr. Hayes, 4,040,807. The Electoral vote stood: Tilden 184, j Hayes IGS. Of the twenty contested | votes Air. Tilden had rightly and j justly iu every respect thirteen, with | South Carolina doubtful. A party | may override tho people’s will once, ! but they will not do it again. The Republican party threw away its en | tire future to win one more term. The Destruction of the Supreme ; Court.— lf Congress bad set out de liberately to devise a scheme to render the character of our Supreme Judges contemptible in the estimation of all Americans, Congress could not have invented a more effective plan for the purpose than this compromise farce lias proved to be. It lias already done more to bring that high tribunal into popular contempt than all that has ever before occurred. If, at tile conclusion, there should bo left any vestige of a decent public respect for a court, the majority of whose Judges have shown themselves to be con temptible partisan demagogues, the world may well marvel thereat.— Chicago Times. The Charleston News anil Courier says tho following dispatch was sent to President Grant by tlio girls of Summerville after they had been made aware of bis objections to a military turn-out on Washington's birth-day: Summerville, S. C., Feb. 22. To Ills Excellency I Igsses S. Grant, President oj the United States of America: We wish to celebrate the birth-day of Washington by a candy-pulling. Can wo do so without violating the spirit of your proclamation and the recent orders based thereon ? No reply was received, but then it was not expected. Secor Robeson has spent one hun dred and twenty-five millions patch ing up old navy ships. Yet the navy is of about as much use for fighting purposes as a colloctiou of mud scows. It will long remain a wonder bow any people could iu pa tience bear such corruption in high office. They did last November rise up and by a million majority of white voters demand that honest men should be put at tho head of their Govern ment, but now tho party which stole their money proposes to steal tho Picoideucy from them. — N. F. Sun. VOL. IV.—NO. 2. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY. In speaking of a person’s faults Pray don’t forget your own; Remember those with houses of glass Should seldom throw if stone. If we have nothing fiTse to do, Than tali: of those who win, ’Tis better to commence nt home. And from that point begin. We have no right to judgo a man, Until he’s fairly tried; Should we not like his company, We know the world is wide. So many have faults, and who has not? The old as well as young; Perhaps we may, for anght we know, Have fifty to their one. I'll tell you a better plan, Aud find it works full well; To try my own defects to cure, Ure others’ faults I tell; And though I sometimes hope to lie No worse than some I know, My own short comings bid me let The faults of others go. Then let us nil. when we begin To slander friend or foe, Think of the harm one word may do To those we little kuow. Remember curses, sometimes like Our chickens, ‘‘roost at homo;’’ Don't speak of others' faults until We have none of our own. Fault Finding. Wo should always be ready to for give, remembering that we have great need to be forgiven. How often do we find fault with others, when we ourselves have per haps faults of a different kind. When we see faults iu others lot us as far as is consistent with truth and right, endeavor to draw tho broad mantle of charity over them,-feeling that ours need hiding. “What arc another’s faults to me? I’ve not a vulture's hill To peck at every flaw I see, And make it ~ler still. It is enough f,. r me to know IVe foili of my own; And on my rt the care bestow, And let my end alone.” What a Child Wants. —When a child begins to read, it becomes ’o-. lighted with a newspaper, beoans, it reads of names and things which are familiar, and it will progress accord ingly. A newspaper iu one year is worth a quarter’s schooling to a child. Every father must consider that information is connected with advancement. The mother of a fam ily, beiug one of its heads, and having a more immediate charge of children, should herself be instructed. A mind occupied becomes fortified agaiust the ills of life, and is braced for any emergency. Children amused by reading or study, are; of course, more considerate and more easily gov erned. Fleeing from Bliss.— About two weeks ago a young lady broke through the ice of a deep skating pond noar Toronto, and a young man rescued her at the risk of his own life. As the half-drowned girl was recovering consciousness her agonized father ar rived on the spot. Taking ono of her cold, white hands in ono of his own, he reached out the other for the hand her rescuer, but the young man, real izing his danger, with one frightened glance broke for the woods, and was soon lost to view. He has not been beard of since, and it is supposed that l e is traveling in tho United States under tho false and hollow name of Smith. A young Lady bet a man a kiss that Tilden would be elected—be to pay if Tildeu won, and slio to pay if Hayes was elected. On the morning of the Bth of November be called and paid the debt; oil the 9th he called and took it back. That evening she paid tho debt. Next mornieg she took it back and ho paid; then she paid, and so they have been kept busy by the contradictory dispatches ever since, and both declare their willingness, and ability to bold out until Congress decides tho question. They don’t, like the new Compromise bill. Two young ladies from Cincinnati are visiting two different families not far from Beacon Hill. A Boston gill speaking of the ono to tho other, said: ‘‘She’s the most disagreeable girl I ever saw.” “Yes,” returned the dam sel from Cincinnati, “and the proud est, though her father packed only a hundred hogs last year.” A good story is told of a Now Hampshire physician who vaccinated a family of twelve and charged sl2. A few days after he took a dozen cab bage plants in part pay, as ho sup posed, but upon final settemeut learned, to bis surprise that Mr. Farm er charged doctor’s prices—“$1 a head.” A Woman disturbed a congregation in Manitowoc, Wis., by making audi ble comments on the sermon. Tho clergyman went down from the pulpit, seized the woman aud forced her out of tho church. Subsequently ho was fined ton dollars. Tin: passengers ou a Kentucky rail road train became so interested in an. eloping couple that, whon the father of the girl came aboard at a station to take her home they forcibly eject ed him.
