HART ('OI’XTT, lU.: WrilnvoilH) MioruliiK. I'ebrnnrj' *N, 1H77. Valedictory. We must bid our patrons farewell! We, love the business, nnd it is with re gret that we relinquish our life-long fol lowing; but we nre compelled to forego further connection with Journalism, on account of sickness in our family, which demands more of our attent ion at home. Wc could not devote as much time to The Hun — our pride and our pet —as we wished, nnd rather than lialf-do a thing we prefer not to do it at all —so wc now take this step. For six months we have striven to accomplish an end, and we have waited and watched in vain. Many and pleasant have been the as sociations we have formed in the time we have been Georgia, and their recol lections will fondly cluster around us as we glide adown the gulf of Time. “ There's something in the ‘ parting hour' j Will chill the warmest heart Yet kindred, comrades, lovers friends. Are fated all to part; But this I’ve seen —and many ft pftng lias pressed it on my mind The one who goes is happier Than those lie leaves behind.” It may he! But we are confident we have been instrumental in making more than one heart happy, and it gives us pleasure in the thought. We have disposed of our interest in this Journal to a firm, which will con tinue its publication and carry out its contracts, under the name and style of Benson & McGill. We return our sincere thanks for the many courtesies and favors shown to us individually, and the libeial patronage bestowed upon the firm, and bespeak for the new company a continued patronage, as they arc gentlemen worthy the fullest confidence of the people. Yale, heu! heu, vale! longc vale! Respectfully, K. Edmund Belcher. ttaV Because Hayes has been fraud ulently counted in is no reason why the people should be despondent. Frauds cun be put down only by work. If there had been no weakening along the Democratic lines, Tilden would have been inaugurated without trouble. The people should organize now; clubs should iTe IwaaedLand the enemy should be met. BfeaT Grant got Ins back up the other day and sent an order to the military iu Columbia and Charleston to prohibit the civic and military organizations from celebrating the 22nd of February 'Washington’s Birthday. No doubt the name of the patriot is disagreeable to the poltroon. Columbia was draped in mourning on that day. Rap* Go about your work, attend to your business and pay your debts, and four years hence you will have the satis faction of casting an honest vote for the Democratic candidates for the Presi dency, who will be elected. 15**?“ From the latest we can gather Oregon has been declared for Hayes. It is now generally coneeeded that he will br> peacefully inaugurated. LETTER FROM ATLANTA. Ineflictcnr)' of III* Leg Ulnl urc- Rail road Appropriation*. Etc., Lie.— Ad|ournin-nt. Atlanta, Ga.. Feb. 23, 1877. To Tin: Editors of The Sun : The Georgia Legislature adjourned last night at 1.20 o'clock, after an arduous nnd laborious session of forty-four days. It may well be snid that this was a wise Leg islature. for they stayed there all this time and done absolutely nothing. Day before yesterday the bill, calling u Constitutional Convention, was agreed to by the House, by tlieir striking oil' the last amendment to the 1011, which wns in sub mitting the question of Atlanta or Milledge ville to a vote of the people yesterday. The bill appropriating #87,000 to the Ma rietta and North Georgia Railroad passed the Senate, and therefore becomes a law. With this appropriation the hopes of the friends of the Llberton A. 1.. K. It. will he materially raised; for whilst they did not succeed in getting their bill tacked on to this Rond ns an amendment, still it is a matter of encouragement {to them, and they will have every fair prospect to get their bill through next winter. The Senate also passed yesterday the hill appropriating ono-third of Ihe State taxes of Chatham County, for the purpose of draining that County, thereby making it more effectual against receiving attacks of the yellow fever.

Item* of Interest. Now is a good time to cut down the army, and put it at the strength of 10,000 men. The jobbers, lobbyists, and subsidy grabbers are busy as devils in these closing days of Congress. John Sherman thanks God that Congress has no power to reverse the fraudulent de cision of the Louisiana Returning Hoard. He should not thank God for this, lie should thank Joe Bradley. Foster of Ohio is correct when he says that this is not a time for party exultation. The making of a Fraudulent President is not a thing for any party in this country to exult over very loud or verv long. There have been several Presidents who represented a minority of the voters of the United States, but Returning B. Hayes will be the first occupant of the White House who received neither a majority of the pop ular vote nor a majority of the electoral vote. This has so far been a remarkably healthy winter. Epidemic diseases are few, small pox is almost unknown, and the air is sa lubrious, It is fortunate that in times so hard, and when the political outlook is so depressing, the bodily health of the people is so good. If to our other ills we had suf fered from epidemics, we should have had rough lines indeed. Crapo of Massachusetts admits that Lou isiana has been outrageously used by his party, and that frauds enough were com mitted by Mad Well's Returning Board to throw suspicion upon its verdict and even to invalidate the election in that State. Nevertheless, he maintained that the Lou isiana votes should be counted for llayes, and he voted to that affect. Several of the old and more important navy officers have lately died. They are removed by death from association with a service which has been so administered da ring Secor Roberson's career at the Navy Department that all its honorable officers blush to think of its degradation. Mean time the ships slowly move about the world, the ridicule of all well-informed naval men of other naval powers. Grant, it is said, will put up at the house of Don Hamilton Fish when he leaves the White House. Grant is very fond of a rich man, and he is not very particular as to his moral character, which in the case of Don Hamilton Fish is bad, for Mr. Fish is the first Secretary of State of the U nited States who has degraded the office by conducting our foreign policy in collusion with a son in-law who was the paid counsel of the power with which our relations were the most delicate and threatening. Grant took him up when he was on old and played-out politician because he was rich, and it is not surprising, therefore, that Don Hamilton Fish invites his discoverer to stay with him when the White House can no longer afford shelter for Grant.
