THE SOUTHERN SUN, Official Journal of Decatur County nlorlcige. Georgia. November The Calhoun Times hoist lh<> name of General. W. T. Wofford for Governor. Wonder when those North Georgia chaps,- will come to the conclusion that South Georgia, is entitled to a Governor once in a hundred years? Burglars are ro common in Savannah, that the city papers hardly take notice of thorn. Liogarda Dramatic Troup > are trying to make things lively in Atlanta. Gorman, of the Tolboton Standard continues to “free blow” railroads and ho tels— go id idea John, a dollar saved is a dollar made. Tj! Joe Brown, urns the Geoagia Legisla ture, about a8 successfully as he does the State Road* The cards havo been dealt and green backs are trumps, Joseph holds the winnig hand. “Oh! Ye Gods, the giftie gie us' To see ourselves, as others see us, is a piece of verse, that some of the members of the present Legislature of Georgia, should take due notice of, and govern them selves accordingly. The Atlanta New Era says, “We need more business and less politics.“ We fully. agree with the Era, on that point; but it i-s very strange that said journal did not come to >bat concl u M when the radicals were domiuant in Georgia. Strange things will happen sometimes— for instance, to see R. L Me Whorter, the late despotic radical speaker of the House of Representatives voting with the Dt-mo<« cratic party, Bob, after serving out your present term you must take a back seat; we fear that your placid smiles will never more be seen in the Legislative Halls of Georgia—you are to. big a pill for the Democrats to swol low, and to' nauseating for the stomaches of.the par.ty that elected you* Old tel you are ‘‘gone up.‘‘ Home! Acain.—After an absence of over a month, we again fiud ourself seated in the editorial chair. We have been to Atlanta, associating with the members of the Legislature; but we hope our friends will not think less ol us for it, as the major portion of them are a clever set of fellows, and are perfectly willing to take wjuit little Bullock left in the State Treasury, being as they came in after the feast. We return thanks to the gentlemen who have contributed to the editorial columns of the Sun, during our absence; also to Mr. R. M.Johston, ourefficient associate The Legislature has resolved not to elect State House officers until after the Gubar uatroinal Election. It has been decided by the Legislature, that there was no legal election held in Calhoun County, last December. Anew Election will be ordered. H. I. Kimball.^-While -in Atlanta, we conversed with quite a number of the most prominent cttizens'of the place, and nearly all us tin m seemed inclined to the opinion, that Kimball, would soon re 1 urn and aratigf all of h«s business transactions satisfac lor tally. GoSS. —The family of Rufus B. our de funct Gpvc*ruor left Atlanta, about ten days ago; whither they were going, know one knoweth, exoept it be the knowing ones. John GormrPJ, of the Talboton Standard comes* out luridly and says, that Pikes dis play of dollar goodV, exhidited at the Ma con Pair, eclypses any thing he has ever seen, the P. G. in G, not excexptrd. Toting ladies think of this, and if the great pedes trian tries to inveigle von into the holy bonds of matrimony, recollect he has said, that the articles exhibited in a dollar Store possesses more charms for him, than all the P. G‘s combined. . The Worrenton Clipper, is grumbling, because the merchants of Worrenton do not advertise; a good many papers in the State are down with the same complaint. Dotit worry your-3elf Bro. McGregor, all 6nch, wilt soon or late go up that enormous spout, and their places suplied with enter priseiug meu* R. D Sliropseire lias been after Jas A. Demour, the present Edito of he Ma con Daily Citizen, with a sharp stick. He makes him sign the following • ote, which we find n the 1 elegraph. & Messenger of the 15th inst: Macov, Ga., Nov. 9, IS7I To whom i may concern: This is to ac knowledge that my note to Mr- Jno* R.

The whole wo Idle looking on with breath less anxiety. The crowned-heads of Eu ■u ope, for a hundred years have regar 'ed a amexdca with an eye of suspieio and fear* They regar it as a fearfhL among ihe vicenage of their Tieaedifary tyranies. When other country's have sought to bor row from ur free institution,s they were set upon by princes and nobles, of all Eu rope. That there is a tacit confederacy of all hes against free republican gove.. 1 * ment and institutions, he most causual observers of political history cannot deny, i hey have sent their emis ries i u<» our land, to endavor by all he wiles and a ts that ngenuity and despe atio * could de vise,, to sow, bro <<!cast the seeds <*f a rev olu' on and a centralized goverme <♦. they sought the near s road t > the acc mplish. ment f 'heir m ssio : and design. They have ] layed upon the ambition and cupid jti s< f p litical leaders, ih yh re snt ihoii- prices of h blood, in royal state, to accustom the eyes of he fre man to t e 8 ght of royalty itself. Fif y years ago the whole <-f Europian royal y and nobib ty, could have passed thro gh the enitre length an 1 bread h of free Am erica, with out creating the least sensation* To-day howdifftMen.il Tiie c-uning of the prince, of Wales, or the Russian Ah*x : s, is s Mind ed fourth as a grand triumph* This thing-, aye, these things, are big with {meaning;— They show how well the Amercan mind is prepared for a coup cle tal .” When oui highest officials whoso ambition is unbom d od, ire, thus su 'rouu led,courted and sup ported by all royalty combined, what may one not expect, —especially, when these of ficials have at their command a \oweiful navy, a powerful army already, drilled and schooled to the work of usurpation oppres sion and tyranny, and a powerful party to back them; with these resourses, to say nothing ol a powerful monied arristoeracy clamoring for a centralized government, and ready for any change looking in th< direction, who regard the poor tax-pav ers only as instruments of their great de signs, with a large section of the country subjugated, yoked and powerless, whai may not Grant and his adherents do? Who could oppose. Let the American people think of this ere it is too late, lest when the final blow is stricken they will be pow •erless to lesist. If coming events cast their shadows before,” what o»-s the onward and continued march of military law in the (South, that too just on the eve of a Presi dential election, in which the present in onmbent has himself out as a candidate foo Shadow. It means one of two thing- . that the bayonet must control the ballo box in the coming election, or that a foothold must be gained to completely overthrow the goverment and erect the throne upon the ruins of our free institutions and graves if «.ur farthers. We are not with the assertion that these predictions and conjectures are but wild chimera, We hope it may prove so. We had rather be a false proffit than a dupe and a slave* When we see the clouds over shadowing the earth, we naturally look for rain, and when we see the nation's army being dispersed over eleven states of the union, with all the powers of a conqueror in an enemy’s country, the chtr ehes and the tempi 8 of justice,converted in prisons, into which hundreds of American citizens are east, as so many malefactors, —this too without a legitimate cans -.’ We caunot see anything good in the horrible picture,- In the absence of a patriotic cause for these violent acts on the part of the President and his party, vve cannot but adhere to our conclusions—that a terr ible evil ; s in the winds. Where is the power to save us! First, in thf ballot B >x—then if that voice is stifled with bayonets let the West and North suggest the remedy* But before we see this remedy proposed, let us go to the polls, felling that every patriot expects each man to do his duty. Conlkys Vetoes Tas Election Bill.—As we expected, Coiitev, the usurper and ac iitig Governor of Georgia, vetoes the bill passed by'both branches of the general ass embly bringing oti the election for Govern or to fill the uuexpiied term of Rufus B Bullock. Conley bases his vote upon the ground that tha Constitution of the Stat*', in the sectiou authoiizing the Legislature to pro vide for filing a vacancy in the office oi Governor by special election doesuot confer power on the Legislature to fill a partic ular vacancy*, but only to adopt a genera! law upon the subject*, that his right to ex ercise the duties of executive officer is a vested right which the General Assembly cannot disturb. Trammell is the legitimate Governor of Georgia and the General at-s m y shold so declare him. Since the above was written we have received a special Telegram that the ♦lec tion bill has been pissed over Cuuley's veto.
