i the next year will be the same as during the
I year that has just passed. The daily edition
| will on week days be a sheet of four pages,
; and on .Sundays a sheet ot eight p.ig- or si>
j broad columns; while the weekly edition
{ will be a sheet of eight, pages of the .same
: dimensions and chain; ter that arc already
1 familiar to our friends.
j The .Sun will continue to 1m the strenuous
; advocate of reform and retrenchment, and
of the substitution of .statesmanship, wis
j dom, and integrity for hollow pruteneo, ini
i iiecilitv, 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, ns opposed t> gov. • mine lit by
| frauds in the ballot-box and in the counting
of votes, enforc'd by military violence, ll
! will endeavor to supply its readers a body
| now not far from a million of souls -with
j the most careful, oomph t,* and trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ
for this purpose a numinous and carefully
I selected staff of reporters and eorrospond
! euts. Its reports from Washington, espu
! dally, will he full, accurate and b ail ms,
! and it will doubtless coutiiuv to deserve
J and enjoy tin* hatred of those who thrive by
j plundering the Treasury or by usurping
what the law does not giv • them, while it
will endeavor to merit the confidence of the
public by defending the rights of the people
against the encroachments of unjustified
power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents

The benefit of this, large reduction from

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 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 flic sheet and the
quality of it* 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.

An old colored,man was burned to

eleven houses were burned. Cause
not given.
Two colonies of immigrants, one
from Massachusetts and the other

failure last year.
The present Mayor of Fernandiua

in a hotel. Also, the former Mayor

. and a shoulder hitter.
The Postal Commission which has
been in Jacksonville for some time

shooting herself through the head.
No cause is assigned for the deed.

A correspondent of the Sanford
Journal has seen “an orange tree
which was grown from a seed planted
about 11 months since. It was killed
down by the frost, but on a sprout
i which is only two inches high there is
| a full bloom, and another bud which
will be open in a few days.”
R. K. Patterson, the horse thief
who was brought to Quitman a few
weeks ago, left this “sweet” memo
randum to his jailor upon parting:
Dear Randal: I know you will he
be surprised to find me gone without
paying my board. Circumstances are
such that I cannot wait to see you,
and I hope you will not think hard of
me for leaving. Randal, since my
short stay with you, I must say, I
have always found you kind and an
honorable gentleman. I hope my
leaving in this manner will not en
danger you in the least. If I should
ever have an opportunity to befriend
you, I shall do so with pleasure,
though I hope it will not bo in this
Land of Flowers. It is so dark I
cannot see to write more. Bye-bye,
bud.
Providence, March lltli 1877.
Mrs
Madam: The Centennial year was
ushered in by the patriotic popula-1
tion of the United States vicing with j
each other in celebrating the great j
event of the maintenance and unpre- ]
cedouted prosperity of our great j
country, our country that can boast
of a Washington, a Clay, a Jackson,
and Jefferson, a long lino of Presi
dents that were elected under the
Constitution and by the whole peo
ple and their will acquiesced in by
the country. The beginning of the
second century witnesses an usurper,
a cheat, in the chair of Washington,
a man not elected by either by the
people or the Electoral College, ele
vated to the dignity of the Presiden
cy of tho United States of America,
by the knavery and rascality of Mad
ison Wells, and his associates, aided
and abetted by such men as Blaine,
Morton, Chandler, it Cos.
In the commencement of the sec
ond year of our centennial Republic
I wonder if it is only an experiment,
and henceforth, if it is to bo an abso
lute monarchy, if the will of the
American people at tho polls liereaf
are to be disregarded, and the choice
of the few, called the minority , is to
overcome the wishes of tho majority
bv disregard of law, contempt of the
rights of voters of tho Southern
States contested, by fraud and cor
ruption, and by every manner of high
handed proceeding that years of
practice could contrive.
The Republican party at the begin
ning of the centennial year saw that
their power was on the wane—they
had abundant evidence of that in the
tidal wave, so called—they saw that
something must bo done to cause a
reaction in public sentiment, or their
! cause was a lost cause; so when the
Amnesty bill catne up Air. Blaine
thought it was his opportunity, and
■ then sought to array tho North
: against the South, and from that
| time until the close of tho campaign,
1 the crimson banner was waived aloft
at every Republican meeting, the dan
ger of allowing the Democratic par
tv to eoino into power was shown
I forth, for by that means the South
! would come in for their share of the
i government, hold the balance of pow
er, the rebel war claims were to be
paid, Ac.; they endeavored to fire
tho northern heart and to influence it
with prejudice against tho South.
Side by side with this they put
forth a distinction in religion; a color
line was drawn between the two races
!in the South, but those ideas all fail
! ed, they had been worn out, and the
Republican leaileis defeated in every
thing, defeated the will of the people
in Louisiana, Florida, stole tho gov
ernment, and installed R. B. Hayes,
as Chief Executive of a people that
plainly said at the ballot-box, that
they did not want him.
He claims to be in favor of peace
and good will towards the South. I
hope he has, but whatever he does,
will be darkened by the stains upon
it. His plans no doubt will be to
build up a Republican party in the
South, that he can see his party with
out them will be no more; but people
of the South remember who stood by
you, villified and slandered, and con
sider before you act. * * *

Milton’s House in Westminster. —
On tho sth of March the last of the
numerous houses inhabited by* John
Milton was leveled to the ground.—
Tho house was situated in Petty
France (now Queen Anne’s Gate),
Westminster. When compelled by ill
health in 1652 to resign tho situation
of Latin Secretary to tho Privy Coun
cil, Milton removed from Scotland
Yard to Tettv France, where, in com
munion with the first scholars of the
age, he lived for eight years surround
ed by all the moral worth of his time.
Here his first wife died in giving
birth to her fourth child, and Milton,
shortly after her death, marrying
again, here also lost, from a similar
cause, his second wife in twelve
months after marriage. Lastly it
was in this house that he became to
tally blind.
Tho fall of Juggernaut is being
widely prophesied among the hindoos.
The falling of a stone last year from
the tower of the temple of Pooree
produced a great sensation. It was
thought that it betokened the end of
Juggernanght, his temple and wor
ship. Those who have examined the
temple say that it must soon fall, the
walls being already interlaced with
the fibres and branches of trees,
which in course of time must cause
tho fall of the whole structure.
Locomotives and railroad rolling
stock for Russia can no more bo pur
chased from American manufacturers.
It has been decreed by the Czar that
tho Russian must manufacture their
own material for the railways.
'•o Crawford Hiot,
All Vito evidence points to tho fact!
that the Crawford riot was a calamity
of the colored people’s own making,
and that whatever was done by the
local authorities was in tho interest of
peaeo and good order. But subse-1
quent performances arc reported from
the county which are not to he de
plored simply, but condemned in the !
strongest terms. \Vo do not know
who they are riding about tho county
at night, if reports are true, and call-,
ing colored men to their doors to be
shot down like dogs. If such deods
are lining done in Oglethorpe county
they are murders of the bloodiest dye
and every true man in tho county
should at once make efforts to appre
hend and punish the perpetrators of
these midnight assassinations.
The negro is ignorant and appre
hensive of every sign that looks to
him possible, and there is every
reason of justice and humanity that
those infirmities of his nature should
be dealt with leniently. He should
be made to understand that nothing
but his wrong-doing need give him
fear. When lie commits crime he
should be punished as other men are.
But no cause should be given the
world to say that, because bad ne
groes contemplated murder and ac
tually engaged in riot in a community,
protection for life is not afforded and
murder is permitted to become a
pastime.
\Ye know that tho good people of
Oglethorpe county are willing to avoid
such a suspicion and we urge them
to put forth every effort to bring
murderers of whatever color or con
dition to punishment, and to use as
much diligence in pursuing the as
sassins of colored men as they have
in bringing Luke Johnson and his
villainous coadjutors to justice. It is
due to themselves aud the State that
they should be content with nothing
less in this matter. —Atlanta Constitu
tion.
Applications are on file in tho post
office department from three hundred
persons who would like to be appoint
ed special agents. The whole num
ber of employes of that grade at
present is forty-four, and six of them
are to be discharged on tho Ist of
May because there are no funds
wherewith to pay them. Under
the circumstances the outlook for the
gallant three hundred is not good.
The Nicholls supreme court has
already passed upon over 200 cases,
and it is the only appellate court of
the state that transacts any business.
All of the lawyers, be they democrats
or republicans, bring their grist to
the Nicholls mill. The other set of
judges are wanderers over the face of

It is said that the potassium salt of
xanthogenic acid is an antiseptic
unsurpassed in excellency by any of
the known preservative agents against
putrefaction. A sample of grape
juice, to which a minute quantity of
the salt had been added, possessed
after three months the full sweetness
of the fresh juice. Potassic xantho
geuate may possibly find application
for therapeutic purposes.
The difference between the cost of
production of cotton fabrics, North
and South, is from two to four cents
on the pound of raw material in favor
of tho South. In consequence, the
manufactories of Georgia all pros
pered last year and declared divi
dends, while a large number of the
North and East lost money.— Sun.
Two boxes, out of twenty contain
ing Dr. Schliemann’s treasures from
Mycenae, were unpacked and exhibit
ed at Athens in February. Much dis
appointment was expressed at the
thinness of a large part of the gold
antiquities. Some goblets and masks
were exceptions in this respect.
Sheriffs’ Sales— Ax Important De
cision.—Under this bead the Reporter
says the Supreme Court—Judge
Warner delivering the decision —has
decided that sheriffs’ sales must be
published twenty-eight days, instead
of four times, as has been the ease
heretofore.
