The daily edition will on \v.-ok days ho a sheet of four pages, and on .‘-’undays a sin e.t ol eight pages, or 50 broad columns; while the weekly edition will b* a sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions and character that are already familiar to our friends. The .Sun will continue to be the.strenuous advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the substitution ol stab-smansliip, wis- 1 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 pcoplg, as opposed to government by frauds iu the ballot-box audio the counting of votes, enfore dby 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 numoiojis and carefully selected stall of reporters and correspond ents. Its reports from Washington, '.spe cially, will be full, ac curate and fearless, and it will doubtless continue to dest rve an i enjoy the hatr and of those v h > 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 the rights of the people against the encroachments oi unjustified power. The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents a month or SB. 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 56broad columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the rate of SI a year, post paid. The benefit of this largo 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 be grateful to them, and every such person who sends us ten or more subscribers from one place will bo 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 The Weekly Nun the' cheapest newspaper published in the world, and we trust also one of the very best.

A SAILOR'S EXPERIENCE [Continued from Last There is something intuitive in man, and not unfrcqnently soon in inferior animals, that gives premonition of approaching danger when ocular demonstration is wanting. The ship may roll, she may pitch, or she may lurch to the greatest extent of her her ability, but these in no wise in terfere with the slumbers of the ma riner; but let the slightest motion or noise unconnected with these pecu liarities of the ship occur, and sleep is dispelled, and mind and, matter shake off lethargy as a traveller would his cloak, and his perceptive and physical faculties arc immediately on the alert. This was singularly demonstrated by the captain at this crisis, for, as tho mate approached his berth, he sprang from his bed, and without in terrogating that officer, ordered him on deck again. He put on his slip pers, seized his overcoat, and was on deck in an instant. A glance con vinced him of the situation. He took his speaking trumpet from the com panion, advanced to the pooprail, and with stentorian voice gave the order to “let go all.” Every man was at his post, for we were keenly sensible that our very existence depended upon our prompt ness. ■ It was no sooner given than executed, but with the voice came the storm, and ere the last word had passed from his lips, the wind, as if maddened at the possibility of oar escape from its fury, laid the ship, which was gently rolling to the un dulations of the ten, on her beam ends, creaking in every joint and struggling in vain to right herself against the gigantic power which held her down and lashed the waters into foam; and which, notwithstand ing the torrent rain, rose iu moun tainous waves and became the willing ally—and nearly equal m force—to Jhe liquid but invisible power whose impetuous course it could not resist; arid that which, so r. eerily was list less from calm repose, was suddenly aroused to mighty energy and strife, apparently bent on the destruction of all that floated upon its buoyant sur face, but which it had previously shown a disposition to bear iu sa'etv. Confusion for the moment was confounded. The surrounding scene was appalling; from lurid light we were gradually cast' into •pandemo nium darkness; the howling and whistling of the wind through the shrouds and blocks were as, echoes of the funds lejoicing at the prospect of our destruction. Yet stout hearts and active hands were equal to the emergency, though keenly sensible that the ship was a mere wreck upon the ocean. Our top-gallant sails were blown clean out of the ropes, and the fore ; top-gallant yard, stripped of its lifts and braces, bung suspended by the tie; the top-sail yards had nearly de scended to their caps, and the tacks j and sheets of. the main course ropes, i equal iu circumference to a man’s wrist, snapped like a gossamer thread, when the report made by the flapping of the sail was equal to a small can nonade. The running gear was flying to leeward like pennants, and our situation was far from enviable. Not having had time to call the watch below, who, ignorant of the approaching storm, were taken by surprise, made their wav on deck as best they could to see what the matter was, and aid in resisting the jarring elements. Let my readers fancy the position of these brave men, aroused suddenly from their midnight slum bers by the action of the storm —a sense of danger upon their minds— from their warm berths and, in a state almost of nudity, exposing themselves to the chilling winds and saturating seas and rain, and that, too, with a cheerfulness and energy which danger can never confound ami on which their safety depended. Danger is un doubtedly the time to try men’s souls, and the stuff which ferms the com position of your true seaman is ma teriolized oi something more than human clay. By good seamanship and great physical exertion the ship was event tually hove to under close reefed fore and main top-sails and stay-sail. In this position we rode like a bird upon tho water, bidding defiance to that which recently wo had much occasion to dread, for wo were now in com parative safety and could contemplate with serenity the damage the vessel had sustained. Fortunately she was nearly new, this being her fourth voyage, and it was not so great as we anticipated, the injury being mostly confined to sails and gear. The car penter sounded) the pumps, and they were tried with a satisfactory result. [2b be Continued.] SIMON TO DON'. Tils I.AST LAY OF THE CLAN CAMERON. Tin* following, ns I iinilorstaiul it, is Si mon's dying address to his sou Don, to whom lie bequeaths everything lint his bruins and his reputation. Simon does not will Don his brains, because Don lias no use for the article; while he already has all the reputation of that sort that lie can conven iently get along with: Come hither, Donald Cameron, And stand beside my knee, My race of life is nearly run, Grim death draws near to me; Hilt as I quit the public crib I will explain to you, How jobs are done and parties run And how to put things through. Lo! I have been for forty years A statesman and a chief; Sonic call me Winnebago— Yes, mime have whispered thief. But I have never been accused— Whatever I have done— * By day or night, of losing sight Of Simon, number one. Tims iu these marble Senato halls. I've sat for many days; The politician's trade I’ve learned, With all its tricks and ways. I've learned that statecraft is a game Like poker -with a blind—■ AY lore if yon pass, for want cf brass, You’re always left behind. The Keystone is a noble State; Realm proud enough for king, And I have ruled it many years AVith what they call the ring. But now my hand is getting weak, My pulse beats faint and low, My lingers slip, I lose my grip, And I must let go. There is a place called Harrisburg, And there a crew doth meet Of caitiff's and of flunkeys hired To wash and wipe my feet. This crew I do bequeath to you To have and hold ill way; They’ll do your work and never shirk >s'o they but get their pay. Now, ail you need to do, my son, Is keeping the gang well paid, And keep those whom you cannot buy Disheartened or afraid. If these behests you do observe And these commands obey, You shall l>e king and boss the ring AVith undisputed sway. I charge thee, boy, if ever thou meet AVith one of Forney’s name, Be it iu legislative halls Or ill the lobby's shame, Face him as thou wouldst face the foe AViiO thy sire’s sins did tell; If member of what breed thou art, And give the caitiff hell. [.4. C. Buell, in Washington Capital. The political itnation in the United States is one of great gravity. It is not because of the success in the Gov ernment of one party and the defeat of the other; the country is accustom ed to events of that kind. Neither is it because a President has been counted in instead of elected; the country is also used to that.— National Quarterly Review. This is not true. No man was ever counted in as President before Hayes. Every one of bis predecessors was lawfully elected. Some of them were elected by a minority of the popular vote; but they wore always elected in accordance with the Constitution and the laws. Ilayes was not elected at all. He was counted-in by fraud and in violation of the Constitution and the laws. This is what makes the political situation in the United States one of the great gravity, and puts the Republican institutions of the country in extieme peril. Why Secretary Evarts has Arran ged to’ Practice Law. —None of Hayes’s Cabinet are rich, unless it is Evarts, and as lie owns alarm in Ver mont, he can, of course, never become an exceptionally wealthy man. He has a very large income from his practice, and ho accepted a seat in the Cabinet only upon condition that he be allowed to retain it. There is no statute of 178 G, heretofore, overlooked, as in Stewart’s case, to prevent this, and we may expect to see the Secre tary of State journeying to New York about once a mouth to look after his law cases. He says his salary alone would cut but a sorry figure in meet ing bis family expenses. You remem ber a few years ago Mr. Evarts was spoken of for Governor of New York, but declined. He could not afford it, because a term as Governor would break up his law practice. Gincinnati Commercial. Bad Ltjck to the Great Southern Built Steamer. —The press telegrams have already chronicled the wreck of the steamer Rockawav, lately built at Norfolk, Va., as an excursion steamer ta plv in New York Bay and vicinity. She was not only the largest steamer ever built in the South, but one of the largest ever built anywhere—be ing 285 feet long, GG wide—tonage 1,950 —threo decks, and intended to accommodate 4,000 passengers. She was launched on the 17th and left Norfolk on the 20th in tow of steam ship AVynnoke for New York to re ceive her engines and outfit but met with such terrible weather that she had to be abandoned Sunday night in a water logged condition and driven ashore near tho United States Hotel at Atlantic City, New Jersey, broken in two and a total wreck. Paying the Returning Boards. The present Administration must not be charged with ingratitude. Four votes were stolen from Tilden in Florida, and turned over to Hayes * by the Returning Board of that State. \Vo have already reported the fact ! that tho chief of these rascals. Samuel : B. McLin, has been appointed Asso ciate Justice in New Mexico, as a i recognition of bis services. As this : place is under the department of ! which Gen. Devons is the head, who j was a Judge himself, of good repute, and ought to know the qualifications ! for such a trust, it becomes him to ; explain whether lie recommended | tins appointment, or only obeyed tbe j Fraudulent President’s order iu mak ing it. But, however that may be, tho Hon. Madison Wells, of Louisiana, will be cheered by such a beautiful illustra tion of civil service reform. Thus far, he has not received his reward, owing to the unsettled condition of the State of his residence; but he still expresses the utmost confidence in Hayes, who entertained him hand somely at tho White House, and | spoke admiringiy of his fortune under difficulties. Tom Anderson, his pa triotic colleague of the Returning Board, is an applicant for the Col | lectorship of New Orleans, and is backed for it by the Fraudulent | Secretary of the Treasury, who was ; an eve witness of his achievements in transferring Louisiana from Tilden to Haves. The two mulatto'confederates on the Board, Caseuavc and Kenner, will doubtless be provided for in good time, as representatives of their nice. Complaint is made that Hayes does not more quickly and at once take care of tho faithful who counted him in to tlie White House. But he can point with pride to Sherman, Evarts, Mathews and McLin as examples of his fidelity. All he asks is time to “make everything right.” —New York Sun. Fire in Bulloch County. The residence of Dr. J. F. Brown, a well known citizen of Bulloch county, situated about three miles from station No. 6, Central railroad, was entirely destroyed by fire on last Wednesday night. At the time of the tire Hon. H. B. Tompkins of this circuit, and A. Pratt Adams, Esq., of this city, and several members of the bar from Scriven county in attendance on the Superior Court, were the guests of Dr. Brown, and they had just re tired to bed when the alarm was given, and escaped with the loss of a few articles of clothing. The tire was discovered in the roof near the chim ney, and is supposed to have been caused bv sparks, as the iilue was very foul, and a large fire had been burning in the fire-place during the evening; a high wind prevailed at the time of the conflagration, and in about an hour after its discovery (10 o’clock) the entire building was in ashes. Tho house was the finest in Bulloch, and was built twenty-one years ago by the late Janies Young, the father of Mrs. Brown, and was uninsured. — Savannah News. Wo reproduce the above for tbe benefit of the many relatives and friends of Mrs. Brown who reside in this section of the State. She was not, however, the daughter of the late James Young, but his grand-daugh- 1 ter—her maiden name being Hen derson. Murat Halsload on Long Branch. There is already a good deal of speculation touching the future of! Long Branch. Ex-President Grant is going, aboard, and will bo absent at least, two years. There is not the least probability that Hayes will make it bis summer down there for recrea tion. Mr. Evarts lias a stately conn- j try home iu New England. Mr. Selmrz is a cosmopolitan, and lias shown no partiality for the seaside. : Mr. Sherman retires upon Ohio when I he wants fresh air. Mr. Thompson j will summer on tho Wabash. Mr. j McCrary has a partiality for the pel-1 lucid lakes and streams of the North western States, and Mr. Key is more at home in the- Virginia and Tennessee ! ranges of the Cumberland Mountains. 1 Long Branch must get aloug without a President and the Administration . on wheels, and now that ex-Presi deut Grant is not to be there, it is , possible Mr. G. W ■ Childs, A. .if., and even Tom Murphy may not adorn it with their presence during any con siderable part of the season. But Long Branch will not be deserted for all that.— Cincinnati Commercial. “ The American Government,” says the London Academy, “ have not yet replied officially to the invitation to take part iu the Exhibition of 1878, but it is supposed, in spite of the lit tle contretemps that arose out ot tho Philadelphia Exhibition, that they will do so, though probably, like oth er nations, they are beginning to ex perience ‘ tyranny ot exhibitions:’— England seems about the only coun try that has responded heartily to tho French invitation. The refusal of Germany is still a sore subject.” Recent experiments at Antwerp for lighting up the river and the har bor with electric light have been very successful. It is believed that this mode of lighting will now be gener rully adopted for the lighting up of large spaces. VOL. IV.—NO. 7.
