THE SUN. HARTWKI.iI. HART CMJVff, A.I H’xlni liuft Meplember 13. 1*77. % N.\l \ KMKVr. FOR SE\A Ton THIRTY FIRST DISTRICT. [Y* Tin- Friends of F. B.'IIODGKS, Kq., reapert billy nnnitaate him as a auitahlc candidate for Sana tar of the Slat District. composed of llart, Franklin, and llaliemhaiti Count!aa, at thi- ensuing election to la-In-Id ml the First Wednesday in December, 1877. For Senator. It will lie observed that F. B. Hodges, Esq., of our town, has boon announced in this paper as etyididute for the responsible position of Senator of the 31st District, and it is hardly neces sary for us to say that lie is in every way worthy and well qualified to fill this position with honor and credit to himself and to the satisfaction of our people. "We do not think that he will have any opposition, and have no doubt ot his election. The War. Fighting still continues with varying success, but in the main the Turks have the advantage. It is now generally conceded by military men that a winter campaign is inevitable, and the Grand Duke’s “ On to Constantinople ” will re sult somewhat like McClellan’s “On to Richmond.” Russia has lost pres tige as the giant kingdom of Europe, while Turkey—“ the sick man ” —has proven himself a lively convalescent. IWe want the new Constitution ratified. We want Joe Brown Gov ernor one time more. He would man age public affairs as he does his private matters —with success and ability. The great mistake the Southern Confederacy made was in not electing him President. If they had the result would have been far different to what it is. Jeff and Alex were like oil and water—they would not mix. “By the Eternal,’' Joe would have shouldered the respon sibly, and would have carried all through triumphantly. Jt&T We arc sorry that we cannot give our subscribers the new Constitu tion this week, but the printing house from which we ordered sends us word that they have distributed the type. However, we hope to bring it out next week. You will have time to read it. 8T A disastrous fire occurred in New York on the 3d iust., involving a fearful loss of life and a million dollar’s worth of property. The fire originated in Hale’s piano factory, a huge eight story building, which was destroyed. teT We want the Capital to remain at Atlanta. We’ll take SIOO now. Our I>cH‘{t'nl‘N. North Georgian. No section of Georgia furnished a better and more working lot of Delegates to the Constitutional Convention, than North East Georgia. They arc all sober, think ing, upright men, and the journal will show when published, that they were reformers, And cast their votes invariably in the inter ests of the tax-payers of Georgia. The Constitution that was finally adopted is their Constitution, they voted with the ma jority almost invariably, were for the Con stitvtion as each section was agreed to, and didn't therefore have to perform any suin- Tnersault in the last two or three days of their work, in order to be on the big side. Ilolcomb, Boyd, Clarke, Bryant, Graham, rthe Underwoods, Mosley, Osborn, YVel born, Brown and Stephens, will long be remembered for the part they acted in making the Constitution of 1877. l’litriotlo Aii^iiswu Augusta Ga., Sep. 3.—The city council passed the following by a unanimous vote. The city council is entirely democratic : “ Whereas, Suice his inauguration as 'president of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes has shown his intention of ad ministering the great trust confided to his keeping in strict accordance with the con stitution and laws of his country ; has en deavored to purify the civil service of the •government, has restored local self govern ment to the south ; has manifested a sin cere desire to destroy sectional feeling, to heal the wounds of war, and give peace to a portion of the union so much in need of its blessings, and Whereas, These things entitle him to the respect and approval of all good citizens, irrespective of party— Resolved, That as a mark of esteem in which we hold him, we, the city council of Augusta, hereby extend an invitation to the president and such members of his cabinet as may attend him to visit the city •°[ Augusta during his sonthern tour, and pledge to him a cordial welcome on the part of all our citizens. Some of the \ irginia negroes are making anew departure in politics. At a recent celebration of the colored people in Kin" George County, they refused to hear po litical speeches, and declared they favored good men for all offices, irrespective of party. \ortlieat Georgia Wlove and Tin-war*- j Depot. Southern Watchman. Happening to be down street one day last week, we met Mr. W. {|, .Jones, su-1 nerintendent of the above mammoth estab- j lishmcnt, who invited us to walk in and ex amine their stock. We accompanied him, and were really surprised to see the immense stock of cook ing, heating and office stoves, ranges, grates Ac., together with the largest assortment of tin-ware that has ever been exhibited in this city. We are satisfied that anyone who fails to buy a stove at this establish ment after examining their stock, dom’t want one at ail. as they have them of all kinds, sizes and prices. Mr. .Tones showed ns something new to us, called “ iron granite ware,” used for tea and coffee-pots. &c., which we think is very desirable, us it saves a great deal of trouble in keeping clean. Call and ex amine it. They keep a very large stock of all kinds of tin-ware, of their own manufacture, and all goods sold by them are warranted to give satisfaction. Who Slmll Mm-i-vd Itrigliiiiii Young Cor. JV. I'. Sun. Through your columns permit me to nominate Henry Ward Beecher, now on exhibition at the Twain Mountain House, to the vacant pulpit of the dead Mormon Ilrigham Young. This, you perceive car ries with it the right also to administer spiritual consolation to the forty odd mourning widows of the defunct polyga mist. Asthe saints of Salt I.ake are un de s ood to be easting about for a suitable successor able to fdl every requirement of their creed, there seems to me an eminent fitness in the above suggestion—physically, morally, by education and training. Gen. Toombs' Opinion. Atlanta stands with her credit intact.— She has dealt fairly and honestly with her creditors and I hope the people of Georgia, for what she has done, will make her the perpetual capital of the State. llow did you save yourselves from the fate of your sister cities? You had the w'isdom to ask the Legislature to put a check upon your power even before the convention met. — You had wise men to control vour affairs. You had lost $.‘{l)O,(MM), stolen from you in the Air-Line railroad, and vast sums in other enterprises. You saw whither you were drifting, and you stopped it. You are entitled to he the capital of the State. Business, is reviving in Augusta. Brigham Young left nineteen wives and seventy-three children to mourn his loss. Somebody attempted to kill a Savannah lady recently by putting ground glass in her soup. An enthusiastic Georgia editor remarks : “ There is something grand about Toombs, no matter what he does.” The Summerville Gazette has been in foi mod that members'of the'.convention w r ept for hours after adjournment. Mr. Robert I.ongford, of Madison county was kicked in the stomach by a mule the other day. The mule will never have an opportunity to kick him any more. The Governor of Wyoming Territory has issued a proclamation for the election of members to the Territorial Legislature, September 11. The women vote in that Territory. The new Kentucky Legislature will stand one Granger, six Workingmen, five Inde pendent Democrats, thirteen Republicans and one hundred and thirteen Unadultera ted Democrats, in the lower branch, and one Republican in the upper. The new Constitution says that the pow er of taxation may Vie exercised over the whole State “to supply those who lost a limb or limbs in the military service of the Confederate States, with substantial artifi cial limbs during life.” This just and hu mane provision alone will rally every ex- Confeaerate soldier who was true to him self and country during the war, to its support. lion. Thos. Hardeman, Jr., President of the Georgia State Agricultural Society, has invited His Excellency Rutherford B. llayes to lie present at the coming State Fair at Atlanta on the 15th of October next. Mr. llayes responds regretting the fact that the session of Congress will re quire his presence at the capital, and pre vents him from accepting the kind invita tion. The President has refused to revoke the call for the extra session of Congress in Oc tober. It is asserted by Washington cor respondents of several newspapapers that the Department of Justice and the Su preme Court both stand in need of imme diate appropriations, and that more reasons can now be given for the meeting in Oc tober than when the proclamation was first issued. The United States Senate now stands thirty-nine Republican Senators, thirty three Democrats and three vacancies, which will undoubtedly be filled by the seating of Democrats. This will give the Republicans but a narrow technical ma jority of three, counting all the disaffected Republican Senators as Republicans. It is easy to see that the Democrats will soon have control of the Senate, as the Republi can Senators from South Carolina, Ala bama, Arkansas and Florida will be suc ceeded by Democrats, Gainesville Eagle : Mr. J. M. Cole writes us from Buford, 27th that on the 26th, a little daughter of Mr. J. R. Hen drix, who resides in the southwest part of Gwinnett, fell into a well sixty-five feet deep. Mr. Hendrix was returning from church, and was within about one one hun dred yards of the house, and hearing the screams of his wife, hurried forward. Be ingwinformed that his child was in the well, he uesccnded instantly. Reaching the wa ter. he called ‘ Mollie,’ and to his heart's great relief received the answer, ‘ Here I am papa.’ Though the water was three feet deep, and the child had been there long enough to have been drowned, yet she was miraculously saved, and restored to the arms of its frantic mother, with only slight bruises.
