THE SOUTHERN SUN, Official Journal of Dec&'ur County JOHN B. HATES, R. M. JOHNSTON Editors. FEBRUARY 10th, 1812. V ■”"==“■l ■■ 1 J| - Are we to hare war with Spain? is oow the question of interest in this country. - Mr. Senator Wilson has introduced s bill allowing woman to rote and hold office in the of (lie United States. The Administia'ion party is striving to get aft early adjournment of Congress, in order to cut short investigation. This the Reformers and Democrats have thus far successfully resisted. r * “ r _' * _tt Soma one has proposed to erect a Statue ©f Horace Grrely. The inscription ou it will what be knows Can we Georgians do the same thing in tegard to JoeCliabyjhe great grass grower? Ho far as we have sees), the Philadelphia Press (Forney) is the only paper at the North base and mean enough to oppose the payment to Mrs. Robert K. of the val ue of the property of which she wagrob* bed by the governments during the war. A compositor in the Wilmington Journal office offers to bet one hundred dollars that he can set more type in one hour ot five hours tiiau any printer in the Uuited States. Any one who wishes to try him, may ad dress •*Typo,“ at the above office. The Georgia Legislature has passed an act providing that debtors who mortgage mules, crops cattle or slocks of goods to creditors, and then sell or dispose of the property to others without consent of the creditor, go to jail for a year, or pay a fine equal to double the debt. So look out debtors.' ItJiroimiTioN Wanted.— lformation is wanted of the, whereabouts of a Mi. Brown who was in the dry goods business iu At lanta at the copunenccmcnt of the war.

Savannah Ahead. —We find the following in a foreigu letter to one of ‘he New York journals. “The prettiest woman in Parris is a la dy from Savannib, Georgia:“ Now lef aH the curious girls go to guess ing; We learn by telegram to the Galveston News from Austin, Texas, that the Grand Jury of the Federal Court have found true bills of indictment against the Radical Governor, Davis, and Secretary, of State Newcomb, on account of the frauds perpe trated in the late elections. These indict ment are, we believe, based upon the false certificate of election. wh«ch gave Clark (Rad.) ft seat id the present Congress, when his opponent actually recti red a tna» jority of several thousand votes. Several arrests were made, we learn, in Atlanta, on Friday last, of parties im plicated Tu the late state Road frauds, among them E. F. B odgett,son of the no torious Foster. The committee charged with the investigation- of the affairs of the road hare boon active in their efforts to expose these faruda,.and their seal hits been so.far singularly second< and in the number of flagrant cases they have de tected and exposed. Rons® Up and Controlung Railroads.— Every few days we meet with statements that certain Northern railroad corporations —the "Pennsylvania Central," for example, figures extensively In this line—have bought, or are About to hoy or, lease or se cure the coutrol of certain Southern and Western lines of road. We regret to see this. We think the policy is suicidal. The tendency of trade is to concentrate the commercial capital of the country in the already over-grown Northern cities. This new movement must necessarily accelerate the process. The final result will be that the people of the South and West will be come mere. I ‘hewers of wood and drawers of water* 1 to lhaAcapita lists of the North. Instead of building up and cncourag ing direct trade with Europe, our sea-poits will languish and become subsidiary to northern agrandizeroent so that We w'll continue to grow more and more depen dent upon Northern capitalisms. Nor is this the worst feature of the ease. The powerful moneyed corporations will exercise a tremendous infltienci over the politics and legislation of the country. Their influence has long been felt iu our Stale Legislatures, and it will ultimately control Congress*. We nre opposed to centralization in railroad maulers ftom the same reason that we oppose centralization in the General Government. Both are de structiva of the liberalities of the people. The Isst case reported of this sort, is the attempt of % New Yu*k “syndicate" to get the control! of the South Carolina Railroad so that it may ultimately manage those of Georgia. It is said that the project is likely to succeed .—Athena Watchman. CONLtE—MILITARY INTERFERENCE. It will be remembered by our readers that in his flirt communication to the General Assembly at the begining of tbe .session in November last Oonley took occasion to insure tbe members ofthut body and the people of Georgia that hd was opposed to military interference in tbe affairs of the State. Tbe general views addressed in that document were of so conservative and just a nature as to in* dflee a very genets! belief that the mau was dispo sed to be jost.and honest. We have how evidence which shows that shortly after bia message was written he wrote to the Ku- Klttx Committee, urging that troops should be sent here to protect the ioil people, and to secare bis claim to the Executive office. This matter, our informant elates, was made the subject of several cabinet meetings, and tbe true friends of tbe country in Washington were for some time much alarmed at tbe Georgia situation. Strange to though the truth, murt be told, Akcrma resisted this appeal of Conley for troops. VTbe just and conservative conrse of the Legislature, our informant states, bad great weight in preventing Grant from interfering in our gffalrs. We copy tbe foregoing from the Angus tft Chronicle end Sentinel, which is only ft verification of the prediction made by us at t he out set, that Conley would only vacate the Gubernatorial chair when he found that all his efforts to retain the same were unavailable. Conley may have been brought up an honest man, bnt bad asso ciationdf have spoiled him, and when a few of our reading State exchanges were extol ling his exceedingly meritorious action in rendering up to Col. Smith the office of Governor and disclaiming all intention of soliciting military interference in the mat ter, we thought there perhaps was some' thing under the apparently smoothe sur face that would, if brought to light, place a dififcrent aspect upon the face of affairs. Aumesty. V • The discussion in Congress upon amnesty have assumed from the first, says the Ma con Telegraph and Messenger, a form and substance widely diverse from the profess ed objects of that measure. The design of the various amnesty "bills, as we are told, is to dissipate the strifes and animos - ities of the war-—to restore fraternal feel ing between the sections, and to harmo nize the people. But the spirit and lan - guage in which they are discussed can only reinflame every hostility engendered in that iong controversy between the Northern and the Southern states, in which hard and bitter words were finally Substituted by harder blows, and the irouth was made to feel in her material, as well as intellectual life, the extremity of North'- era scorn, hatred and contempt. If these various amnesty bills had come before Congress upon a general petition of the Southern people, or were measures ad vanced in their behalf by their professed friends, some apology might be presented for the flood of indecent and unsparing abuse which they have served as the occa sion for disgorgement on the whites of the South. But that is not the case. Amnes ty is proposed by one wing of the Radical party, as a piece of good party tactics as something which the Northern people de mand in behalf of- their own interest, as affected by sectional discord or disorder and discontent in the Southern States. The amnesty are, in effect, questions of policy between differing factions of the trium phant radicals, agd the opposition had to step out of their way to pour their black guardism and hatred on the South- to brand us as hypocrites and liars, and re gret that the public executioner had not supplemented the fires and slaughter of military invasion. It is easy to seethat the Grant radicals have no mind for peace and restored fraternity. They think their party interests lie in lacerating and irrita ting the wounds inflicted by the war—in exciting and appealing to the “war pas sions” of the North and negro jealousy and hatred of the whites in the^outh. Aud herein lies the root of a discord be tween the two factions of the Republican party. The one, represented by Morton aud Grant, with entire indifiVn-r.ee to the result upon the permanent welfare of the country, shape their counsels so as to con solidate to their support the old war party of the North and West, and to this eud it becomes tesseuial to stimulate sectional animosities. The other, reflected by Trum bull and Schurz want to base the suprema cy of tlieir party on a policy harmonious with solid public interests. On Friday the Education bill being up the House. Hoar, of Massachusetts, took occasion to deliver himself of a Phillippic upon the Southern States worthy of the most heated abolition controversy in times before the war. This, as a matter of course led to replies of the same nature ftom Southern tnemliers which however, just in themselves, only play into the hands of onr traditional enemies. They wish to provoke controversy, because tlipj' are sur they have the strongest side. When: ther foje, the Sou tb in Congress accepts the challenge she simply cooperates with them and furthers their plans. The. Southern people alone have no power to vindicate either there or in a national election. Jt is posible that malicious and grutnious insults of the Southern peopl in Congress, might at last arrouse in some portion of Ure North a generous indigba uation , which at length might punnivh the« 6 incendiary dealers in auimosity ;:but ' J they are lobe followed by retaliatory oa> i ftiftnghta of the satne character, the real purpose of tbe inceudiaries is accomplished which ts the maintenance of a grand Northern and negto party on a basis of eternal hatred and war upon tbe Scathern .whites. This is Grants and Morton's platform—this will be the reai Radical platform of 1872, whatever othe r pretence may be set op. * GEORGIA NEWS. Savannah complains of her sign boards being too low. Theodore Thomas and troupe are de lating the Savannahians. The Savannah fire department are hav ing a terrible muddle over the election of officers. Talbotton bows her head and murmurs bad streets.

Valdosta Exults in the possession of twelve halls of learning. PIiEPARIAG F OU WAR 5 The Savannah Republican says that the hum in our navy yaids and the movement of army officers would seem to indicate that Grant is really fixing up for a fight with somebody, probably Spain, the poses sion of Cuba being the objective point. A large number of two hundred pound Parrot guns have just been sent to Key West and other Southern ports, and others —in lac* all that are obtainable—are ordered to the. s une distillations. All the for*B on ou Southern seaboards are being inspected and put in order* Fort suinter, Moulttie, Pickens, Pulaski and Ban aocas are being strengthened and at med, and Pensacola is being th noughly fortified, sous to seive as a rendezvous for both sea and 1 and forces. Every available vessel of the navy is being put in fighting trim* The public will look with interest so the event that will demon strate what all this preparation means* The Southern people are for peace with oyeiybody, at least for the present, and the ruse must be a very strougoue to «ulist their interest.
