THE SUN. One DoUur in Advance. HARTWXLL, HAH' 4'OI'NTV. UA. Mnluralny • * jMMMNry, ***. IMS. K. 11. BENSON, Manaoiko Editor. J. 11. M GILL .... Editor. .■• ■ • in t or wr.ANOx. Mr. Jefferson Davis Ins a knack of say ittg tlie wrong thing at the wrong time. At the reunion of tb Army of Northern Virginia, on the 22*1 instant, at New Or* leans, he made his little speech, in which he said the cause was not lost, hut only sleeping. In referring, to the stirring •vents of the late war, in which those be fore him had participated, he said : •' You have done your duty in the past, and may Qod spare you to do it in the fu ture, should ever necessity again arise.” We are opposed to these reunions, any way. They are productive of no good. They are not representative, for hut few of the rank and tile can attend. Wo were a soldier of the Army of Northern Vir ginia, and participated in the aforesaid stirring events, hut w e do not care to at tend a reunion—there are too many that can not attend until that grand reunion above, where no foolish speeches will he made. Since the above was put in type, the gratifying news comes to us that Mr. Davis did not make use of the foolish speech as reported above. We arc glad of it. It was simply an attempt to lire the North ern heart. Hut we believe it would be the part of wisdom for Mr. Davis to make no more public speeches. They offer too good a chance for malignant misrepresen tation. UI'ILTV. The Guiteau trial is ended. The case was given to the jury tlie afternoon of the 25th, and the jury after an absence of 30 minutes brought in a verdict of guilty. Guiteau said. “My blood will be upon the bend of that jury, and don't you forget it." A death blow to the insanity dodge. Gen. Silas Carey, U. S. A., died on the 23d. WONDER bow Dr. Felton reading Den Hill’s letter ? Houston county' has voted 300 majority for “no fence.” You bet, Grady will get a pile for writ ing up Florida. The pecan crop of Texas this year is valued at $2,000,000. Vki.tcvx will find bis coalition movement and up Hill business. The Madison Yeoman favors Hon. A. O. Hacon for next Governor. There have been eight failures in Hampton, Gn., since the (Irst of December. Hangings have average ! one a day in the United States since the first of Jan uary. It matters very little to the people who hold the offices. The salaries are fixed anyhow'. Charleston county, S. C., is to be divided—the new county to be called Derkeley. Two trains collided on the Charleston and Savannah railroad on the 21st, killing three men. Most of the timber now on inspection for next Governor of Georgia is badly wind-shaken. A COMPULSORY education law has been proposed for lowa. Georgia might protit by a like law. The Republicans look upon the contest between Hill nnd Felton with a great deal of complacency. Gen. Toombs say* he had rather vote for 11. D. McDaniel for Governor than any man in Georgia. Madison Davis, colored, is to succeed Mr. Orras post master of Athens, Ga. Hut won’t Gantt howl. llon. Clarkson X. Potter, the origina tor of the “ Potter resolution,” died in New York on the 23d. The editor of the Atncrieus Republican has begun eating green peas and lettuce grown in his garden already. The river at Nashville rose above the high water mark of 1847 this week. Con siderable damage was done. It is estimated that over three hundred negroes have removed from Lincoln county within the past three months. A Jefferson county man, Phil Raiford, has been sentenced to the penitentiary for three years for ruining his niece. Andrew Rogers, colored, and George Riggins, white, charged with murder, cs- 1 caped jail at Valdosta on night of the 10th. llon. Alexander 11. Stephens says that the independent movement in Georgia will either be a failure or a grand cyclone. Felton aspires to be Hen Hill’s politi cal grave digger. Let him take care lest he stumbles into a grave of his own dig ging. Anderson Jones, colored, was hanged at Augusta on the 20th instant for murder ing John G. Haralson, of Mcßean's sta-! lion. A MAN who witnessed the hanging of two culprits in St. Louis, became crazy and so violent that hemmorhage was the result and death. burnt district in Atlanta is to be once with larger and more ele- The total loss by the (ire insurance, $21*1,000.

Tut; infMol, Bob Ingerson. has Wen holding elegant receptions in Washington on Sunday nights during the present ses sion of Congress. F.X-Govenor Bri.uwic. of Georgia, is not dead, as we erroneously stated last week. It was Governor Mullock of Mas sachusetts who died. TllK Athens Chronicle snvs there was never a time in the history of the Univer sity when the student* were ss free from the use of ardeivf drink. An insane man killed his mother, wife, and two daughters on the 10th in Garrard county, Ky.. with an axe. and then com mitted suicide by hanging. Two attempts were made to burn the residence of Mr. Pleas Cox. in I,incoin county, last week. Five nr six white men and negroes are implicated. Mn. Stephen* snvs President Madi son's widmv was the Hrst lady ever em ployed by the government. She copied in one of the departments when 82 years of age. Enoch Pratt, of Baltimore, proposes to the mayor and council of that city to donate a million dollars to establish a “free circulating library. A munificent gift. It is now considered certain, says the Constitution's correspondent, that the administration will favor the coalition movement in Georgia rather than the straight Republican idea. Arthur is too much of a politician to make a good President, There is cunning but no statesmanship about him. lie evinces too much interest in Stale politics to be a wise national ruler. Daniei-hvii.u; is getting her name up abroad. We nre informed by some par ties who have recently been to Atlanta, that they are talking of its growth even that far from home. —Madison Yeoman. Governor Bullock states to a North ern newspaper reporter that the indepen dent movement in Georgia is simply an effort of those who are out of office to get into office. And he is eminently correct. The Madisonian believes if the Demo cracy will nominate Gen. Gartrcl! for Governor it would he the very best thing it could do. It would unite all the discor dant elements and sweep from the field every obstacle. 1)r. Felton's theory seems to be, from his letters, that Fen Hill could commit any sin against the party and yet be his friend and a “great statesman,” but when he sins against him. lie becomes a repro bate, is bis friend no longer,’and should be politically slain. Mr. Warner, of Tonnes***-, introduced a bill in the Uonwe on the 23d to reduce (salaries as follows: President, $30,000; Members of Congress. $4,000; heads of ' departments. SI,OOO ; Chief Justice of the IT. S. Supreme Court. $0,500, and associ ate justices, SO,OOO. It will hardly pass. Parson Fulton wants to assume the character of martyr in his fight against the Democrats, but the old gentleman is too late. Emory Speer has already suc cessfully appropriated that role in two campaigns, ami the people want something new this time. —(iainrmiille Eagle. Wk learn that a proposition is on foot to build a narrow-gunge railroad from Lincolnton to intersect the Georgia rail road at Thomson, and thence to some eligible point on the Central railroad. It is also a part of the plan, if sufficient assistance can he obtained, to extend the road to Kibe it on.— Mr Dujfie Journal. Felton in his rejoinder to Hon Hill's letter is more venomous than at first, and furnishes further proof that he was acting the part of a hvpocri'o when lauding Mr. Hill some years back. If Mr. Hill is all Mr. Felton claims him to lie. he chose a strange man Tor his friend. His ” consis tency ” is of the gruel order—very thin. William Arp. who comes to town occasionally, in order to warm his feet and dry his clothes, says he is more (irmly wedded to the no-cotton policy than ever. His farm is out of debt, and he is selling coru to his neighbors. Moreover, he has fresh butter every day in the week ami fried chicken on Sunday.— Atlanta Consti tution. Tire Augusta Chronicle's correspondent at Washington writes that paper : “Con gressmen are busily engaged in sending seed to their clamorous constituents, who seem to think “garden sass” that has a Washington flavor quite superior to the home-raised article. In many instances, I think such persons are the victims of misplaced confidence.” Statistics show that suicides have increased in percentage in recent years. Last year there was one in every 5.253; in the preceding year, one in about every 6.500; in the year before that, one in every 6,480; while in 1878 the proportion was as low as one in every 7.400; in 1875, however, it was one in every 5,800, approx imating the percentage of last year. A lira fire occurred in Atlanta on the 20th instant, involving a loss of probably a half million dollars, and burning to death a hoarder at the Wilson house. The houses burned were Brown buying, Capt. Harry Jackson’s two buildings. Dunn. Alexander & Cos., Wilson House, under neath the Wilson House the stores of How ard, Wood fc Cos., L. Cohen & Cos..

We have heard nothing of it for some time past, and are afraid our citi/.eus are not thoroughly alive to the importance of such a connection. It striked us that the almost impassable conditioif 0 f the roads for the past few weeks.wemkyfj n j, the hauling of freights almost an bility, is of itself a very strong argnm, „t in favor of the immediate construction!,j| the road. A The contract has already been let jj or the building of the road from West How^ rfj _ ville to Carncsville, which will be done in a short time. It is almost an absolute necessity city of Athens, in order to neutralize^{| lU damaging effect to her trade of the building of the Klberton Air-Line, to constrict n road from that city to some point on j], e Klberton Road, and the constructioi „f the Carncsville Road will render it hig,]y advantageous to Athens to connect vv th that point as she would then cross the J.;. A. L. and be m direct communication with Hartwell, which would concentr.,| t . the trade of a large section of country j„ Georgia and South Carolina at Atly, s . tluu city being the best and most avail! ,i L . market. Under this view of the case, wo f>, t q satisfied that the road from Athens Carncsville will be built; and, inasm\i, as it will only require a slight deflection from a straight line to bring it by Danlcls i vtHc, we feel sure that the people of Danielsville and Madison county can secure it by subscribing liberally to its construction. Arouse, then, citizens of Madison, and put forth a mighty effort to secure this great desideratum, before it is too late. All that is necessary in our opinion, is “a long pull, a strong pull and a pull alto gether.” We Know rerAHully The immediate effect macqycen Mati co Ointment has in subduing pain caused hy Piles.

Ldlcr From .Senator Itroivn. United States Senate Chamber, Washington, January 17, 1882. Colonel J. 11. Estill. Savannah, Ga.— Dear Sir:—l have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter informing tne that there are reports in circulation in Georgia that I applied to President Arthur to permit me to control the patronage of Georgia, and that he declined to do so on account of mv democracy, etc. In reply, I have to state that there is no foundation whatever for such reports. My personal relations with President Arthur have been pleasant ever since I first met him, but he un derstands very well mv position as a democratic senator, and I understand his position as a republican president; and while, in accordance with the request of many of my constituents, I have presented the names of a few persons to him who were seeking ap pointment, with such recommenda- tions as I thought them entitled to. 1 have never on any occasion intimated to him that I would like to have the control of the patronage of my state, and I have never expected or desired it. My opinion is that most of the democrats who remain true to their principles and to their duty as dem ocrats, who hold federal offices worth anything, will be displaced to make room for republicans, or for the class of democrats who may be influenced and won over to alliance with the republican party by the favor of offices bestowed upon them. You further call my attention to the fact that there are reports that I had been approached by the administration and desired to take charge of what ia termed the new movement in Georgia. This, too, is entirely incorrect. My position as a democrat is well understood by the administration. I am not aware of any act I have done here, or any thing I have said indicating in the slightest degree a purpose to depart from my duty as a democrat, I know there iwa disposition on the part of those who are attempting to consolidate an alliance between the republicans and a class of democrats who arc dis satisfied with the party and are ready to leave it, to characterize every man who acts with the democracy and maintains its organization ns nhonrbon ; \d they’ appeal to every man who is | in favor of progress and of the accept ance of the reconstruction measures ainj tlir faithful execution tv Join the new organization. There can be no reason for this in Georgia, as the democratic party, an majority of it, ns at is on the progressive line, j have accepted the recon struction measures and the constitu tional amendments in good faith, and in.end to stand by them and carry thnn out in Iqfter and spirit, and to se* to it that legal justice is done to the citizens of the state without regaWfU* ra ce yr color. The democracy intends that there is a free ballot and a fair count, and that the legal rights of the humblest citizen are pro tected as sacredly as those of the wealthy and influential. Surely the people of neither race is ready to encourage any new move ment or any other sort of a movement that would subvert the old principles of the fathers of the republic, obliterate the old landmarks of society, or break the new ties that bind us together. This is a vital question that both races, and all the people of Georgia are interested in. And if there be any restless spirits who would be willing to encourage disorganization and dis integration and destroy the prosperity we now enjoy for the prospect of political promotion or otherwise, I am obliged to think they will find them selves encouraged by a meagre follow ing. 1 I trust it is scarce!}' necessary for —no to any to you or to the people that I [ can give no countenance to the new movement. I see no necessity for it. I expect to vote for the democratic nominee for governor of Georgia in 18S2 and for the democratic nominee for president and vice president in 1834, if I live to see the elections, and shall bo glad to contribute my humble mite to the success of the democratic party upon a liberal and just platform, which [ have no doubt it will occupy, and I trust the great body of people will feel it their duty to do the same.
