THE SOUTHERN SUN. JOHN P. HAYES, K. M. 33a± tiloricate Georgia ■'• DECEMBER 9th IS7I, *• 1 * *»" ' . CHANGE OF DAT, It will be observed that the publication day of the Svish a* been changed to Satur day instead of Thursday as 'heretofore. We do J&if for many jeasons of conve nience to ourself, and at the solicitation of »|mnbers‘of our . P ■ rzz=r-~=Z . A Base Trick sonviUe (Kla) U ion, in arranging the s tates tdb'ter Democratic govcrnments, h.s this .mission to Estimate 'he losses of all the people of Georgi* by 'he ‘mancipation of their si «v «, and to demand of Congress compensation theres r.” Now, i is a noto ius fact—no doubt well k- own to the writer of the above, ! h t the m tion referred to was made by a Radical * enator - that it was reported against by a 1) mocratic Committee, ad the Democrats of the i- enate voted un nimously to sus tain the r port—and that the only votes for the mbvement were east by five Radic als, including 'he negro members ? Will tlie ed tor of the Union be hon est enough to g ve th se sets to his readers ? We shall see.—Sav Republican. The es lu ion here re'erred to emimted from Maj. B. F. Bruton, Senator from this (the Bth) District, ad, as th • hilarious dis position of the gentleman is so w< 11 known, it can easily be determined in what light the-document was intended. That weeping mothers son, Harris, of the* Savannah News, has offered a glass if Mike’s Old Artillery Punch to the grand Duke A h xis, while he himself proposes to take whiskey straight. How impudently polite that child is getting to be. Methinks I see his royal,. crooked-tongued highness engulphing the punchy contents of a glass ware vessel, in measurement a solid pint, with Pinky just back of that singing, with that enterprising young voice of h s, ‘'who will care for expenses now,” and taking notes on the situation. Fatal O ld—Frost and snow arc play-* fuff sail havock with human lifeout west. In Kansas five buff.ilo hunters and large numbers ofeattle were froz ?n to death during the recent storm. In the canons of Little Cottonwood, Utah, the loss of life by the snow slides was greater than at first re ported. Quite a number of persons are believed to be lost. In Montana Territory two companies of the Seventh Infantry were caught in the’ storm and compelled to camp out. Many of ttie men were se verely frost-bitten. FROM ATLANTA. Hon J. M. Smith, of Muscogee, the present speaker of the House, has been nominated for Governor. Several other candidates were brought forward, the choice of Mr Smith, however, was by a large majority. Now let the Democracy roll him up a handsome majority. A Washington letter to the Baltimore Sun says: “Those Republican Senators and me.nbera who have arrived here, and who have expressed any opinion, do not expect, that much important business will be done this sesisn b-yond passing a bill reducing taxation and the genet a! appropriation bills The supporters of the Administration ex < press their confidence in the nomination and relection of Grant, and declare that most of the President-making f>r the ses s on will be confined to the Democratic side The anti Grant Republicans do not appear to develop much strcngch in tfie HouseJ indeed, it is said there are net half a dozen who can be counted on, while Messers* Sumner, Schurz and Tipton are the only Senators postively known in the Senate to be against Grant's re-nomination. The Democratic Senators are very generally op posed to joining hands with the anti-Grant men until the latter show some postive organization that would warrant a coali tion on the genera issues before the people It is ev-dc-ni Dial tiie<e : s to be prec' ? tate action on the part of the Democracy in Cons giess on the Presidential question, and it is doubtful if anything positive results from the caucus to be held early in the session. The feeling at least now appears to be that the lesser should come to the greater. Oraxgks.—Notwithstanding the crop of oranges will not be as laige this season - as that of last, in this city and vicinity the fntit will be large and better quality. The orange trees are looking better and more promising lhau they have since the year 1835. Our citizens are giving more of their attention to this fruit, and we feel sure that their efforts will be crowned j sqccess.—St. Augustine Examiner. conceptions tlio tli@ poopls ject, says: ”We are sorry to see th tt thebillrepealing 65. Ihe attachment to these forlorn relies of larbarbm is to us a wonderful and in comprehensible .fact. Oil every photoso phical principle, in th first place, money like evey other merchandize should be left to adjust is own price under the laws of supply and -lem »nd, and there is t o more reason for fixing its value by law • ban for attempting to establish the value of corn, cot on and bagg ng ;n the same way. Sec ondly, th • attempt to regulate it in that w- y >s a total failure* I he law says . seven per cent, but even eve y law giver violates it, and the rates of interest in commercial transactions in Georgia vary every day from eight to thirty per cent, and are so quote 'in all the papers It will be safe to say that the law is invariably and totally disregarded. Pray tell us then, where the ruse of it? and what other effect has the law than merely to embarrass transactions in money—bring State authoricy into con tempt—obstruct the influx of external capital into Georgia, and. so add to the price by diminishing competition? We trust the Georgia Legisla ure will get out of that rut, after a while.” : P; • •• ~ 1 ' """ State at Large. A United States soldier was d.owned at Fort Pulaski, the other day.
