THE SO .
1877. IV YORK. 1877.
The different editions of Tile Bun 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,
ami on .Sundays a sheet of < ight pages, or 5(5
broad columns; while the weekly edition
will be a sheet, of eight pages of the same
dimensions and character that are already
familiar to our friends.
The .S'tiN will continue to be 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
I frauds in the ballot-box and in the counting
iof 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 t-mploy
for this purpose a liumeious and carefully
selected staff 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 ot those who thrive by
plundering the Treasury or by usurping
what tin; 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 of unjustified
power.
The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents
a month or $6.50 a year, post paid, ot 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 50broad
coftiiridM,- will be 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 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
1 paper for himself without charge. At one
j dollar a year, postage paid, the expenses ol
I paper and printing are barely repaid ; and,
| considering the size of the sheet and the
; quality of its contents, we are confident the
i people will consider The Weekly Ntjn the
cheapest newspaper published in the world,
| and we trust also one of the very best.

THE PIRATE.
NUMBER I.
Having disposed of one of the most
appalling incident.:: of ocean life, a
tiro at sea, v/o will turn our attention
to. its nlost dreaded scourge, the pi
rate; but thanks to this age of steam
and tlie bright look out which is kept
by cruisers of every civilized govern
ment, the opportunities for depre
dating upon the high seas are few
and far between. The bold, and bloody
deeds of Kidd, Ivey, and others of
that ilk, are deeds that arc past, and
1 the black flag, emblem of death in its
1 most hideous forms, no longer flics at
the main peak to instill terror into
tlio heart and mind of the navigator.
It has struck forever to civilization
and science, and the chief perils of
that adventurous life may lit said to
be confined to natural causes.
The Spanish main, which was long
the resort and the cruising ground of
the bold buccaneer or free-booter, in
now free from the visits of that dread
ful scourge, which swept like a pesti
leuce over the broad Atlantic and
continued the commercial fraternity
in a constant state of alarm for the
safety of their enterprises, for these
monsters iu human shape, fully aware
of their desperate condition in case of
detection or capture, used every arti
fice to prevent it. The same vessel
would at one time appear as a brig,
at another an hermaphrodite, and at
another a fore and after. Nor were
disguises confined to the rig alone;
the hull also s'llUed in the meta
morphose, for when first seen it would
bo with painted ports; when next
seen it would display a narrow red
ribbon, and next a broad white streak,
and so on as fancy or necessity might
dictate. Thus it was that the same
vessel never answered to the descrip
tion which had boon correctly given
of her.
To those unacquainted with nauti
cal life, it may appeardhat these dis
guises wore assumed sololv for the
i.. . J ,
I preservation of their own worthless
I and degraded lives, which law and
j humanity could readily dispense with.
| They answered a double purpose, as
| they not only threw the pursuit off
j their guard and frequently afforded
j them the means of escape, but equally
| deceived the unwary, who were com
j pletely in their toils ere (hey were
aware of the nature of the company
they had fallen in with on the voyage,
which generally terminated at the
place of contact; for those demons
considered life such a cheap com
modity in others that it was not
worthy of preservation, and dreadful
was the vengeance they took upon
those who offered resistance to their
I diabolic purposes and caused blood
!to flow in their midst. To them in
stant death would have been mercy,
but that was an ingredient which
composed no part of their nature,
and like the savage or the brute, they
gloated in the torture of their victims j
ere they finally destroyed them.
Tim delightful ducking known as;
keel-hauling afforded them a refresh-;
ing pastime when in good humor, and j
which they performed in the following'!
manner: A whip was attached at each j
end of the main yard, the ends of,
| which are connected after being sc- j
cured round the waist of the victim ;
under the arm-pits, to whose feet |
weights were secured to sink him j
speedily bedeath the keel of the ves- 1
sel. Each whip was manned, and at |
a given signal lie is hauled under the
chip's bottom from one side to the
other. Of course it does not require j
many such immersions, even if al
lowed time to breathe between each,
to stop the wind of anything that is
not strictly amphibious; while others
might be treated to a generous act of
suspension at tlio yard aim, and
while convulsed from the agony of
their position, their writhing bodies
bo made a target for pistol practice,
a delightful mode ol entertainment
with these gentry when in happy
mood*
Or, for sake of variety, they might
vary the programme by offering them
the distinguished privilege of v/alking
the plank; or, after taking out the
most Valuable part of the cargo, give
them a pressing invitation, at the |
point of the sword or mouth of the
pistol, to step below into the hold, j
when the hatches were placed upon
the combinga, and it was not long ore !
they discovered that,freed from death |
in one shape they wore compelled to
meet it in another. Tlio vessel fills
vapidly, for she has been scuttled;
the ship is their coffin, and soon a
watery grave closes over them. Or,
if they bravely fought for their lives,
but were compelled to submit to su
perior numbers or armament, instead
of scuttling they might firo the ship i
and offer their victims a holocaust to |
their insatiable revenge.
These were some of the pleasantries
which pirates usually indulged in,
and v,need not be snprisod at the
terror which that dread name inspired
either on land or on sea, nor at the
! interest displayed by the various gov
! emraents iu hunting these miscreants
to their final extinction.
When iu my teens I was satisfied
j in my own mind that the nineteenth
| century was in advance of this din- j
j bolie trail*, consequently left no dread
of being called upon to participate in
any of the amusements above enu
merated; and it never entered into
| my cranium to suppose it were possi-
I ble that even a solitary one of these
j scourges could still be iu existence,
j But, like Hamlet, I found there wore
I more things in heaven and earth than
my philosophy dreamt of, and that I
was eventually to make a passing ac
quaintance with one of that fraternity,
; which, contrary to custom and in di
rect opposition to tlicb. creed, termi-
I nated in courtesies which in that
respect wore highly satisfactory to us,
but which tended not to relieve anx
i iety and suspicion as long as wo were
! in close proximity to each other.

The “Grand Army of the Republic,”
| as it calls itself, has a “post” at Chi
; cage. At a meeting held the other
| night to arrange for Decoration Day,
j one Colonel Kickaboy offered the
following resolution:
“/f-'soim/, That all who served in
j the late war, whether in the Union
: army, or in the so-called Confederate
j army, be invited to unite in decora
! ting the soldiers’ graves on the JOth
i iust.”
Several bloated G. A. Il.’s at once
| leaped to their feet and screamed
“Treason !” They would not “dese
| crate the graves of the loyal by the
presence of rebels.” The resolution
j was voted down, and the “truly loyal”
j grinned.
In response to the trash about his
[ capturing North Carolina that Hayes
; has been talking about the Raleigh
i Observer states that “not a single
prominent man in this State has de
i sorted it, not one such man lias made
terms with Hayes, nor have we in the j
! whole length and breadth of the State
; heard of but one man, either promi- j
j neut or obscure, who has avowed
| ready to go into the Hayes movement,
| and that man is unknown save in liis
| own lot ality and his influence extends I
'not beyond his own vote, and hois;
not a native of the State. If any oth
[er State can show so clear a record
las this wo do not know which one it
!“■' I
Ilaycs seems anxious to give to his j
I enemies in the Republican party the
i opportunity they are longing for. j
Ills intention to disregard the law
j and support the army without war- |
rant from Congress is patent. To
! evade the law by any subterfuge ■
would lie as criminal as to openly defy 1
■ it. The course upon which the
Fraudulent President has entered can
have but one legitimate conclusion—
impeachment. It will be interesting
to see Blaine, Morton, and tlio rest sit
ting in judgment on their candidate
who’has killed the Republican party.
Pinch.— Pinchback lias been in I
Washington testifying to the perfect j
success of the Nicholls administration, j
It has started an era of non-stealing,
peace, prosperity and liberty in Lou- j

surprising. Everything is reviving
there except the thieves and the falsc
c'ounteis.
General Leslie Combs, who resides
at Lexington, Ky., in conversation
witn a correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Enquirer said: “I am a regu
lar old-lino Henry Clay Whig in poli
tics and a St. John-iu-the-wilderuess,
milk-and-honey ironsides Baptist in
religion; none of your sprinkled fel
lows, but a regular dipped-iu-the

The Southern half of the rest-office
