The Official Paper of the County.
THU list) A Y MORNING, JAN’Y 13, 1870.
SALUTATORY.
To THE ReaDRKS or THE Soil THERM St.**.—
With tiiid issue our editorial connection
with the Scn commences. We have no
great promises to make to its readers, as
!•> whether or i.ot*its columns will become
more int••resting more instructive or more
generally useful. But this we do promise
tlu-m, lo devote* our who'e and un
divided attention toward making the Sc.v a
fresh, live, progressive Democratic news#
puj.er—a paper that will be welcome to
every class of readers. If industry and
strict attention to business will succeed,
those connected with this journal teel con
fident of having their B anticipat»ons realized.
The public have bestowed and are still be
stowing a liberal patronage upon our pa
per ; our circulation is large and steadily
increasing*, and it is our fondest desire to
deserve well of our patrons, as well as to
provide lor those dear ones who are depen
dvnt upon us.
W’ahave the assurance of the assistance
of several able writers who will ever and
anon lend their aid to the columns of the
Sun. We shall also have correspondents
from a distance who will give our readers
valuable information.
Politically, we shall plant ourself fairly
and squarely upon the good old principles
of the Democracy and shall vigilantly guard
them from the encroachment* of the enemy.
We believe that the fate of the whole comie
try depends upon the Democratic party and
therefore we will sustain it in every honor#
able manner. Although being a Democrat
wc shall reserve the right of fearlessly and
independently expressing our opinion upon
the acta of all parlies—giving honor where
linntu* is due ; and condemning the wrong
whether committed by friend or foe.
With many good wishes for the reader**
cf the Sun we enter upomour duties.
B. E. Russei.l.
B , C. A C. K It - Work Commenced.
It is with feelings of unfeigned pleasure
that we announce 10 the leaders of The Sun
the beginning of the work on the great
public enterprise which heads this article.
The first twenty miles of the road have
been let to two of the most enterprising
railroad men in the country, Messrs. Harris
nnd Drown, and at lowei figures than were
ever known before. Maj. Harris informs
u* that by the Gist of June next, he will
have completed his contract, and from the
means at his disposal we know that ho is
correct. '
The commencement of this work will add
new life to Southwestern Georgia, swell
the corporate limits of Baiubridge and act
as a powerful restorative to those “sick
stockholder*” who have seen no prospect
of the load being built. We do not now»
for a moment, doubt that every subscriber
will immediately go forward and settle his
indebtedness to the road; indeed, the Pres
ident has assured us that collections are
easy.
We Mievo that before the year 1810
shall have passed, Baiubridge will . have
become united with Tallahassee by rail
and in a short time with Colnm
bns. lii order to bring about such a de
sirable state ot things, it behooves all in*
ttrested to stand square up to, and aid in
t very possible manner those entrusted with
the work.
In ci>tieiu.-<io:i we would congratulate the
efficient President of the road, II;n. B. F.
Bruton, upon the succt ra of the great un
dertaking conceived by him and com*
ineiieed under his direction. He has over
come many obstacles that have been
thrown in his way by those who considered
the road aa idle fancy, and by its avowed
enemies; and he has succeeded in procu
ring as officials for the road gentlemen
thoroughly acquainted with the business
and af the highest order of talent.
Since writing the above, in company
with President Bruton and others, we vis
ited the point from where the work com
mences, and s-nv the first shovel of dirt
turned. That honor was given to our
respected and venerable fellow-citizen
Judge A. A. Alien, who, after having
accomplished »t, addressed those connect
ed with the road a few appropriate remarks
which were well received.
The point where the road is to cross the
river is one of the best wc have ever seen
and is just three.-quarters of a mile from
the A. & G. R. R. Depot. The trestling on
ibis Rale of the river will bo only 400 feet.
We were struck with the energy that
characterized all connected with the work.
1 Col. Clark with his Engineers were rnaik
ii gout the ground with great
while Major Harris—perfectly at home—
fwas having ti e mis-shapen car#! quickly
leveled f«*r the reception of the cross-tit>s. #
The railroad party are very much in
jjdebted to President Breton for ihe*kindaess
deceived at lus bauds on that occasion.

Atlanta, January 10.—*Tne Senate was
organized to day without difficulty, and
there wo» ns seriousopposition to the count
for President J. 0. Mills was elected Sec
rat ary.
Aaron Alpeorta Bradley was qualified as
Senator ft urn the First District, but evi*
deuee a uf ineligibility are at hand, and liter*
scents to be bat little doubt that be will
wulk the plank.
Bradley insist* that his ease shall be rep#
resented in tba United States Senate, and
it is not improbable that a negro will be
cieetcd if the present Senators are disturb*
ed.
The House had a stormy session, and
there came near being a genuine riot.
Bryant declared open war against Bill
lock's plan of organization, and denounced
it as an outrage against law and the rights
of the people or Georgia. He refused to
obey the orders of Harris, the Speaker pro
; iem., and denounced his appointment as
witiiont authority, tie resisted an attempt
at six o'clock to arrest him by the Sergant
at-Arinu and with his Republican friends
backed out those officers. Pistols were
drawn and a general fight at ono time
seemed imminent.
There was great excitement on the floor
and in the crowded galleries, and the up*
roar was deafening. Altogether, it was
the most disgraceful scene ever witnessed
in the legislative balls of Georgia.
Quiet was finally restored for a time,
when the row broke out afresh on the mo
tion of Bryant to elect Caldwell as Speaker
pro tm, while Harris was in the Chair. The
latter found it impossible to allay the storm,
Bryant and his friends pacing no attention
to him. When Caldwell was declared elect
ed there was great excitement, but Harris
refusing to vucate in his favor, Caldwell
declined tbe position. Bryant was then
elected Speaker pro tern
On motion, a committee was appointed
to wait npon General Tcriy, commanding
the District of Georgia, to get his views,
and on returning reported to Bryant a*
chairman, the House refusing to pay any
attention to Harris.
General Terry decided that tbe organi
zation should proceed under the orders of
Governor Bullock, but the reading of Pot
ash Farrow’s opinions were improper, and
his partial rulings must stop.
Matters then went on quietly till the
close, when sixty-five members bad been
qualified.
The vote in the Senate gives no indica
tion of Bullock's strength, and the chances
are good to defeat the Radical nominee for
Speaker of the House.

Whereas, Our beloved brother wd

The Last Bank Note Swindlh*—A Correa*
pondeut has sent us a circular of the latest
bank note swindle. This n*w devise for
the unwary is in the usual form of a confis
dential (?) lithographed letter, and has
undoubtedly been widely distributed
throughout the South. The letter is de
signed to lead the reader to suppose it lias
been issued by tlx? Fourth National Bank
of New York. The circular represents
that it is probable that the institution will
fail in the spring, and it Is desirable to
circulate a large amount of the bills before
the first of May. In order to do this, it is
proposed to sell thorn at fifty cents "on the
dollar. After the word' “Fourth' 1 the
circular has the word ’at/ in very small
type, so as to make it lead ‘Fourth street
National Banking House of NeW Yurt City/
Correspondents are requested to forward
the sum of ten dollars, when, of course,
they wi'l hear- fnothing further from tbe
institution— Sav. Nem.

The reason why that young man af Mart
ford spoiled a w**dding at which to
act as groom, the other day, by halHfllliftg
himself with laudanum, was because his
tailor went back on him, and would*i:t let
him have his wedding suit ou a credit.
Death of Col. Ctrub B. Harxiw,—On
Christmas evening our community was
startled with the intelligence that Colonel
Harkie had been killed by a musket shot.
His body was found in a field near his res*-
idcnce, about nine miles from the city,
The next day a jury of inquest was iui
panneled, and after a careful examination,
rendered a verdict of accidental death by
his own hand.
Certain tracks to and from the vicinity,
subsequently induced the belief that foul
play had been usetd, awl a Mr. Ward was
arrested upon suspicion as the perpetrator
of the deed, and upon an investigation had
before justice Coleman, was required to
give bond for his appearencc at the next
term cf the Superior Court.
Col. Harkie was the surveyor of the line
of the Baiubridge, Cuthbcrt & Columbus
Railroad. Cutkbert Appeal.
Th* Radicalized Supreme Gqurt Nox
Worth Preserving, —Brick Pomeroy Hums
up a scathing editorial on the Radical pro
position to abolish the Supreme Court, in
which he shows that the Court has long
since shrunk from tl*e existence of the func
tions for which it was created, with the
..- • »
following characteristic and pungent per
oration:
“Wherever courags is necessary,
crouragc appears to be conspicuously ab
sent, and the Court is decided in nothing
but complete imbecility. To undertake to
muzzle such an affair looks to us very much
)ike muzzling a toothless cur, which has
no inclination to bite, and dare not if it
could.
The f*:ar in which tire Court exists of the
present dominant party is all the muzzling
it needs, and the passage of the Drake bill
would only be a confession of unnecessary
fear on tbe part of Congress. The Court
dare not decido npon the “reconstruction, ’»
nor dsro it decide upon tbe legal lender not.
Where is the safety of the people ?
Where is the great bulwark of liberty?
Where is the Republic, aud were is our
boasted republican Government ?
A President non omjosmniis.
A Supreme Court of cowards.
Congress dictator.
The country trodden down by military;
the people swamped with taxes and tariff's;
liberty and law hurried beneath the heel of
usurpers and deHpots—who shall say this
is a free confederation of sovereign repub**
lies? Rather k&a it not become a despotic
nation.

NEW ORLEANS AND SAW3TNNAU
MARKETS.
Cotton weighing five, six, nnd seven hundred
lbs, pei hale can be shipped from any point on the
Chattahoochce river to New Orleans at a cost of
$2 50 per bale, without any receiving, forwarding
or other charges at Apalachicola. The cottoa is
delivered directly from the river s earner to the
steamship for New Orleans, thus being handled but
once in its transit to New Orleans alter shipment
on the river. Freight* from New deans to
foriogn ports arc as low as at any .Atlantic poit.
The price of cotton in New Orleans is equal to Sa
vannah, and through the winter from one fourth to
one cent higher. Storage and insurance only onp
third as much as New York or Savannah. The
loss in weight less in the former than the latter
cities; and the cotton shipped to foreign ports from
New Orleans commands from one-half to one cent
per pouud more than when shipped from New
York or Savannah. Advances can he had in New
Orleans on cotton, and the eottou held as long and
as cheap as in any other market, or shipped abroad
as reasonable as from any other port. Night drafts
on New York can bought in New Orleans during
the winter at from \ to \ per cent discount. Mer
chants and planters’ supplies of staple goods and
groceries can bfc bought at lower rates than in any
other market, and freights on them would be much
less Ilian from any Atlantic portj Ficighton cot
ton to Savannah from atiy. point on tlie river is
ninety-five cents per hundred pounds, and to
New York from nine to ten dollars per bale.
Quite a difference in favor of a New Orleans ship
ment. The above statements show the superiority
of the New Orleans market over the New York and
Savannah markets
At Columbus, John King hanker, will advance
on cotton to New Orleans, and L. E O'Keefe, Cos
lurobus, Ga , will attend to shipping eottou to New
Orlean on the above basis, or any agents of the
Barnett line on the river, who are entirely respon
sible. Boats are connecting regularly now with
