The southern sun. Official Journal of Decatur County JOHN R. HAYES, R. M. JOHNSTON Editors. FEBRUARY 17tli, 1872. GENERAL HANCOCK. Tbfire has been foolish and evidently unfounded rumor floationg about during the past two weeks in the public press to the effect that General Hancock had de clined the nomination for the Presidency. He has authoritatively set this rumor at rest.Uy annoueing that it is not his habit to refuse been', offered to him. Pessihly he may decline when he is nomi nated; jhe surely wiU if the platform is not a loyal, honest one, for be would belie his past career were he to do Otherwise: but until that contingency arises will hardly refuse what he may never receive. The choice to day is settling down rapidly be-tween him and Hendricks, Mr* Tilden having lost ground by the unwise and proscriptive course of his friends. Senator Hendricks was on the floor of the House of Representatives last Monday and received muchjattention; but the claim and 'services of the '’Gamecock of the Army” are not forgotten, and not likely te be. The passive policy never had much support is growing weaker daily, the con clusion being almost universal that the Republican split will amount. Horace Greoly, Charles Sumner and Lyman Trum bull are wedded to their idols; let them alone. Greely bows daily before his idols; of wooden head and brazen body and clay feet, which he calls p' otection of home industry; Sumner prostrates himself before his black master, as he has been in the habit of doing for ten years past, the lovely colored man; while Trumbull is still hang ing on to the Republican ship with nervous grasp. There is nothing on such material of wh ch to. make a great party, the latter is the only pos bility, and he be far more pos tve than he has as yet been to win the support and confidence of Demo crats The resu t ; s that it : s almost nevita ble that the Democracy should fall back upon their own men; they may be objec - t ons to this, but not by any means such serous ones as to the half-way Republicans who will draw little from their own party and drive much from that to which they may transfer their alleg'ance* Amid this unceita nty Hancock still stands ay the leading Democracy candidate—New Yoik fßtizan. . .. AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA. Impeachment of Governor Rccd, special dispatch to the Savannah Republican, Tal lahassee, February 13, we have had excite ing times in our Legislature for the past week, but people are making up their minds to submit to the inevitable, and matters are now rather more quiet. The impeachment of Governor Reed and his removal from office was virtually con summated on Saturday last, the 10th inst. In obedience to the instructions of th e House, or Assembly, on that day the As* sembly Committee appeared before the Sem ite and presented twenty articles of im peachment against Harrison Reed, Gover norjj of t the State, charging him with high crimes and misdemeanors, io the overi ssue of bonds, embczlmer.i of the pub lic funds, bribery, and coiruption in office. Governor Reed was formally notified of the proceeding, and on the same day re tired from office, when Lieutenants Gove rnor Day was sworn in and entered upon his duties as Governor. The Senate will sit as a High Court of. Impeachment to-morrow, when Reed Will, b« form ally arraigned on the above charges. It is probable, however, that no trial will take place at the preseut session, as the Osborn ring oppose it, fearing the results Liberty Billings has been elected Presi en* pro tempore of the Senate, which is thought to be equivalent to a defeat of the plans and purposes of the impeachment ring, at least for the present. Lxon. Thk London correspondent of the Cincin nati Commercial tells as that Ameiicans are oat of favor in Europe. He asserts that "all oar officials are believed here to be Utterly venal, and every body here has made up his mind that onr love for money has ruined us. and we are going straight to the Devil.” And is not far wrong. This is what Radicalism has brought a once great nation to. Th* Author of the Documents. —With regard to the misunderstanding with Great Britain over the treaty of Washington, the New York Suu makes the following state* ment which is important if true, and i' probably is: t * 4 lt should known that the case on our aide was prepared exclusivly by Mr. J. G. Davis and that it was not submitted either to Mr Everts, Mr. Cushing, or auv of the government's counsel for theii advice and waa not known to them until k had be-n completed and printed, and was beyond the possibility of ameudment before its presentation to the British government. FROM WASHINGTt N SUMMER VERBOUS GRANT. Sumner made a very affective speech in the Senate to-day against the Administra tion in connnection with alleged sale of arms to the French Government daring the late Fianco-Prussian war, and adduced copious documentary evidence to show that the Administration was privy to the sale of arms to Fiance in open violation of Inter national law, and that the difference in the amount received by the Government agent in New York from Frame on account of there sales, and the sums paid into the Treasury, was two million four hundred thousand dollars. AMNESTY The friends of amnesty have agreed upon a plan of operation which, it is believed, will insure the success of that measure be fore the close of the session . CENTENKIAI, COMMISIONERS.

Richard S* Taylor has been appointed Assistant Assessor for the Fourth Georgia District. v k AFTER G^MFIELD^AGAIN, Montrose has returned from New York, aud is again trying to have Oampfield re moved and himself appointed to bis place There are good reaspijs to believe that Montrose will not be successful.
