THE SUN.
NEW YORK, U6BS.
The Sun for 1882 will make its fifteenth
annual revolution under the present man
agement, shining, as always, for all, big
and little, mean and gracious, contented
and unhappy. Republican and Democratic,
depraved and virtuous, intelligent and
obtuse. The Sun’s light is for mankind
and womankind of every sort; but its ge
nial warmth is for the good, while it pours
hot discomfort on the blistering bacivs of
the persistently wicked.
The Sun of IS<>B was a newspaper of a
new kind. It discarded many of the
forms, and a multitude of the superfluous
words and phrases of ancient journalism.
It undertook to report in a fresh, succinct,
unconventional way all the news of the
world, omitting no event of human inter
est, and commenting upon affairs with the
fearlessness of absolute independence.
The success of this experiment was the
suceess of The Sun. It effected a per
manent change in the style of American
newspapers. Every important journal
established in this country in the dozen
years past has been modelled after The
Sun. Every important journal already
existing has been modified and bettered
by the force of The Sun’s example.
The Sun of 188*2 will be the same out
spoken, truth-telling, and interesting
newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which an
abundant prosperity affords, we shall
make it better than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting it
into readable shape, and measuring its
importance, not by the traditional yard
stick, but by its real interest to the peo
ple. Distance from Printing House Square
is not the first consideration with The
Sun. Whenever anything happens worth
reporting we get the particulars, whether
in Brooklyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions;
and arc accustomed to express them in
language that can be understood. We
say what we think about men and events.
That habit is the only secret of The Sun’s
political course.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight
pages the best matter of the seven daily
issues. An Agricultural Department of
unequalled merit, full market reports, and
a liberal proportion of literary, scientific,
and domestic intelligence complete The
WEEKLY SUN, and make it the best news
paper for the farmer's household that was
ever printed.
Who does not know and read and like
The Sunday Sun, each number of which
is a Golcouda of interesting literature,
with the best poetry of the day, prose
every line worth reading, news, humor—
matter enough to fill a good-sized book,
and infinitely more varied and entertain
ing than any book, big or little?
if our idea of what a newspaper should
be pleases you, send for The Sun.
Our terms are as follows :
For the daily Sun, a four-page sheet of
twenty-eight columns, the price by mail,
post-paid, is 55 cents a month, or $6.50 a
year; or, including the Sunday paper, an
eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the
price is 65 cents per month, or $7.70 a
year, postage paia.
The Sunday edition of The Sun is also
furnished separately at $1.20 a year, pos
tage paid.
The price of The Weekly Sun, eight
pages, fifty-six columns, is $1 a year, pos
tage paid. For clubs of ten sending $lO
we will send an extra copy free.

JEFFERSON. JACKSON COUNTY, GA.. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1882.
Our Senators.
United States Senate Chamber. ?
Washington, Jan. 17, 1882.
Colonel J. 11. Estill, Savannah. Ga.
—Dear Sir:—l have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of j’our letter
informing me 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 my Democracy, &e.
In reply, I have to state that there
is no foundation whatever for such re
ports. My personal relations with
President Arthur have been pleasant
ever since I first met him, but he tin
derstands very well my position as a
Democrat ic Senator, and I understand
his position as a Republican Presi
dent; and while, in accordance with
the request of many of my constitu
ents, I have presented the names of a
few persons to him Who were seeking
appointment, with such rccommcnda
tions as I thought them entitled to, I
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 tiiat most of the
Democrats who remain true to their
principles and to their duty as Demo
crats, who hold Federal offices worth
anything, will lie displaced to make
room for Republicans, or for the class
of Democrats who may be influenced
and won over to alliance with the Re
publican 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 is
termed the new movement in Georgia.
This, too, is entirely incorrect. My
podltioh as a Democrat is well under
stood b}’ the administration. I am
not aware of any act I have done here,
or anything I have said indicating in
the slightest degree a purpose to de
part from ray duty as a Democrat. 1
know there is a disposition on the part
of those who are attempting to con
solidate an alliance between the Re
publicans and a class of Democrats
who are dissatisfied with the party and
are ready to leave it, to characterize
every man who acts with the Democ
racy and maintains its organization as
a bourbon ; and they appeal to every
man who is in favor of progress and
of the acceptance of the reconstruc
tion measures and their faithful exe
cution to join the new organization.
■ There can be no reason for this in
Georgia, as the Democratic party, an
overwhelming majority of it. as at
present organized, is on the progres
sive line. The}’ have accepted the
reconstruction measures and the con
stitutional amendments in good faith,
and intend to stand by them and carry
them out in letter and spirit, and to
see to it that legal justice is done to
all the citizens of the .State without
regard to race or color. The Dernoc-
racy intends to see that there is a free
ballot and a fair count, and that the
legal rights of the humblest citizen
are protected as sacredly as those of
tlie wealthy ami influential.
If this is lmurlHiniHin. then the
charge can lie justly made againat the
Democracy' of Georgia. If it is lib
eralism, tlicn the Democratic party of
our State is entitled to be called a
liberal party. Tle truth is, the De
mocracy understand and appreciate
the changes which resulted from the
war, and are determined to move for
ward on the line of progress and de
velopment in the future; to stand by
principle and maintain the relative
rights and powers of the Federal and
State governments, doing all in their
power to secure the movement of each
within its constitutional sphere, as the
FOR THE PEOPLE.
surest and best method of protecting
the rights of all and of building up,
developing and enriching the whole
country.
At the end of the war society was
greatly disorganized in Georgia and
the other Southern States. We have
had a long, hard struggle, and have
been obliged to exercise a great deal
of pat ience and forbearance in re-or
ganizing it upon a just basis. We
have readied a point where peace,-
prosperity and harmony are again se
curely based upon the rock of the con
stitution. Race troubles have passed
away ; there exists now between the
two races in the State the awst cordial
and fraternal relations. It is the in
terest of each to build up the other, as
neither can be prosperous while in
justice is done to the other. We see
on every side evidence of rapidity re
turning prosperity. And it seems to
me, in this state of the case, that it is
exceedingly unfortunate for any por
tion of our people, whether office
holders or office seekers, or whatever
their motive may be, to attempt to tear
down this fabric which we have been
building up with so much care and so
much trouble, and plunge the State
back again into race troubles by an
attempt to upheave society, throw
everything into confusion, destroy our
prosperity, depreciate the value of our
property, check our progress, depress
the price of labor, and produce discord
aud dissatisfaction in every part of
the State.
Surely the people of neither race is
ready to encourage any new movement
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 tics that bind us together. This
is a vital question that both races, and
all the people of Georgia are interest
ed in. And if there be any restless
spirits who would be willing to en
courage disorganization and disinte
gration and destroy the prosperity we
now enjoy for the prospect of political
promotion or otherwise, I am obliged
to think they will find themselves en
couraged by a meagre following.
I trust it is scarcely necessary for
me to say to you or to the people that
I can give no countenance to the new
movement. 1 see no necessity for it.
I expect to vote for the Democratic
nominee for Governor of Georgia in
1882 and for the Democratic nominee
for President and Vice President in
1884. if I live to see the elections, and
shall be glad to contribute my humble
mite to the success of the Democratic
party upon a liberal and just platform,
which I have no doubt it will occupy,
and I trust the great body of people
will feel it their duty to do the same.
Very respectfully,
Joseph E. Brown.
KErLY OF SENATOR HILL TO AN INVI
TATION TO ADDRESS TIIK PEO
PLE OF ROME.
United States Senate, 7
\Vash4Noton, January 20th, 1882. $
Gentlemen :—I have received your
kind invitation “ to address the peo
ple of Rome on the political issues of
the day as soon as I may find it con
venient to do so.”
My official duties here will not allow
me to comply with your request now.
[ will cheerfully do so some time in
the future.
I have deemed it important to noti
fy the people of Georgia of the real
character and purpose of anew and
very insidious coalition to radicalize
our State at the next election. This
I have done first in an interview re
ported by Mr. Grady, and subsequent
ly in my own language in a letter ad
dressed to the Constitution.
This coalition must depend for its
success on the extent to which its au
thors will be able to deceive what are
known as Independent Democrats.
While I have always been in accord
with the Democratic organization, yet
my relations with the Independent
Democrats have not been at all hostile.
Indeed, I have been often charged
with being largely responsible for the
success of the Independents in Geor
gia, and especially in the Seventh Dis
trict. All the time my motives have
been patriotic, and my great purpose
has been not to allow local dissensions
to succeed in engendering such divi
sions as would prevent a cordial re
union of all true Democrats whenever
that reunion should become necessary
against the common enemy.
When, therefore, I saw an adroit
coalition formed for the express pur
pose of using the Independent Demo
crats to bring the Republican party
back into power in Georgia, I felt it
was my special duty to warn the In
dependents of this attempt not only to
deceive bnt to debauch them. 1 be
lieve there are no truer Democrats, in
principle, than the Independents in
Georgia and in the 7th District, and I
believe they will be especially emphatic
in their rebuke of the few, once trusted
but now soured and disap|>ointed
leaders who are seeking to carry them
where these very leaders have promised
them a thousand times they would
never go— by a back door into the Re
publican party, and into the ultra
radical wing of the Republican party
at that.
Mark you, I have not charged that
these leaders have formally joined the
Republican party. That would end
their power to deceive. They still call
themselves Independents, that they
may retain their power to deceive. But
I have charged, and now repeat, that
they have joined a coal ition, the success
of which it is intended shall enure to
the benefit of the Republican party in
the government of Georgia, and bring
Georgia to the support of the national
Republican party in 1884. For the
correctness of Ibis charge I am more
than willing to be held responsible
before the people of the State. This
coalition originated here. Its authors
and promoters are and have been the
very worst enemies of the southern
people. The coalition is not founded
on a single principle, nor animated by
a single desire to benefit the people of
the South—black or white—nor of the
union. It is not a party but a coali
tion. It is a union of differing and
incongruous elements to get the spoils
of office. State and Federal, by appeal,
by appealing to all the lowest instincts
of men under false pretenses of reform.
It is the very lowest type of political
intrigue and combination, and is as
familiar to the student of political
history in republics, as are the svmp
toms of disease in the human body to
the student of medical histor}’. Such
coalitions are always the products of
a general condition of political corrup
tion and the extent to which the peo
ple allow themselves to be deceived h}’
them has been held by all great his
torians to be the exact measure of the
decay of popular institutions.
I do not say that all those who have
gone into this coalition are themselves
aware of the full significance and
character of the movement. Men who
are in a soured temper of mind are
alwaj’s available material for the more
artful and Jesigning, and those able
but bad men who inaugurated this
coalition have calculated that the In
dependents of the South have become
sufficiently soured against the Demo
cratic organization to be easily avail
able for Republican use. With the
exception of a very few I prdict they
will find themselves disappointed.
The coalition has commenced an
early canvass, but its early failure will
be visible to the naked eye before the
grass of spring unless the people of
Georgia have become more willing to
be the victims of political intrigues
than at any former period of their
history. With high regards, I am,
very truly yours, Bf.nj. 11. Hill.

News from Hart County.
Hartwell, Ga., Jan. 23, 1882.
Editor Jackson Herald : — lt may
be of interest to many of your readers
to bear something of this section of
Northeast Georgia, and as I have
promised many of my friends in Jack*
son to let them hear from me and mine.
I think it well to try and meet two obli
gations at one and the same time by
writing to the Herald, hoping to meet
these two ends by so doing.
I occasionally see a copy of your
paper, and it is like meeting an old
familiar friend ; how natural it looks,
and how beautiful its execution. And
then 1 learn much of what is going on
where my home was for three years,
and bow much I find of what is going
on among those whom I tried, in my
feeble manner, to serve during said
period oT time ; a feeble service it was.
but then it was a cheerful service, and,
I think , a faithful one.
We are at present among a kind
and appreciative people—a people of
enterprise and thrift. The past year
was a trying time upon Hart county;
o ily about half a crop being made in
the county. This, for the present
time, is felt in town and country, as
many of the farmers won’t be able to
meet their accounts, which have em
barrassed them, and caused their
creditors to reduce their business, and,
in many instances, shut down upon
the credit system. Notwithstanding
all this, business is reviving and most
of our people feel hopeful of the fu
ture.
Hartwell has many live business
men, young and old, that seem to know
exactly how to meet a crisis in which
it requires special tact to manage for
the best so as to end in general good
to all. Hence, confidence is felt in all
our business circles. As an evidence
of this fact, one has but to take a walk
through our town and a ride through
the country, where the busy hand of
determination is blazing the way to a
brighter and more prosperous future.
New buildings are going up in vari
ous parts of Hartwell and broader ter
ritory is being occupied. The church
buildings have the mark of progres
sive industry, and all denominations
take an interest in a general good in
this direction.
The school building (a nice, cozy
structure,) is having improvements
added nearly every week since the
new year began, and a large interest
is taken in our High School by all the
inhabitants of the young city on the
border of the State.
This school is now managed by
Prof. M. L. Parker and his estimable
lady, both of whom are well known by
many of the citizens of j’our county.
The school, under their management,
has opened up with more flattering
prospects than ever before, so I am
informed by members of the Board of
Trustees, nearly one hundred pupils
being already in school, and we hear
of new accessions every day or two,
and parties receiving information of
many others who will be in in a short
time. The patrons of the school are
proud of their teachers, and promise
them their undivided support, and
many of them think that the day is
not far distant when their institution
of learning will occupy an enviable
position among her sisters.
Our railroad is considered by many,
who have not the information upon
the subject of narrow-gague railroads,
as a small affair, but this is the big
gest little railroad I ever saw. What
I mean by this is the enormous amount
of carrying it does, and the amount of
life that it puts into motion in all tills
section, stopping not only at the line
of our State, but sending new pulsa
tions into business circles across the
Savannah river. If you hear any of
your (I had like to have said our) peo
ple say that a narrow-gague railroad
is a small thing, just invite them to
come over to Hartwell and spend a
w’eek or two, and they will be con
vinced to the contrary.
I have already made this letter
longer than I intended, and I must
now close by saying to our friends in
Jackson that I hope the railroad will
soon be completed to Jefferson, and
that the Martin Institute, and all the
churches, and all the interests of the
county will go forward accomplishing
grand results in proportion to the ad
vantages that an all-wise Providence
has blessed it witb.
Everybody’s friend,
R. A. Seale.
Billings’ Advice io Joe.
“By awl means, Joe, get married if
you have a fair show. Don’t stand
shivering on the bank, but pitch in and
stick your head under and the shiver
is over. There ain't any more trick in
getting married after you’re ready than
there is in eating peannts. Menny a
man has stood shivering on the shore
until the river all ran out. Don’t
expect to marry an angel; them hev
all bin picked up long ago. Remember,
Joe, you ain’t a saint yourself. Do
not marry for buty exclusively; buty
is like ice, orful slippery, and thaws
dreadful easy. Don’t marry for luv,
neither; luv is like a cooking stove,
good for nothing when the fuel gives
out. But let the mixture be sum buty
becomingly dressed, with about $240
in her pocket, a good speller, handy
and neat in her house, plenty uv good
sense,, a tuff constitution and by-laws,
small feet, a light step; add to this
sound teeth and a warm heart. This
mixture will keep in any climate and
not evaporate. If the cork happens
to be off for two or three minutes the
strength, ain’t all gone, Joe. Don’t
marry for pedigree; there isn’t much
in pedigree onless it is backed by
bank stocks. A family with nothing
but pedigree generally lacks sense.”

I wish to speak to you of your mother..
It may be you have noticed the care
worn look upon her face lately. Of
course, it has not been brought there bv
any act of yours, still it is 1 your duty
to chase it away. I don't mean for
you to run at and shake your skirts
and tell it to “ shoo,” as 3 T ou would a
hen, nor do I expect you to. get on
the other side of the fence and throw
old oyster cans and pieces of barrel*
staves at it, as you did at the cow yes
terday. liut I want 3 r u to get up to*
m >rrow morning and get breakfast,,
and when 3’our mother comes down
and begins to express her surprise,,
go right up to her and kiss her on tin**
mouth. You don’t imagine how it
will brighten up her dear face. Be
sides, 3'ou owe her a kiss or two..
Away back when you were a little
girl she had kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever-tainted'
breath and swollen face. You were
not as attractive then as you arc now..
And along through those years of chill
dish sunshine and shadows she was-
alwa3’s ready to cure, by the magic of
a mother’s kiss, the little, dirty, chub
by hands whenever they Teere injured
in those first skirmishes with the rough
old world. And then the midnight
kisses with which she has routed so>
many bad dreams, as she leaned above
your restless pillow, have all been on
interest these long, long 3’ears. Of
course, she is not so pretty amt kiss
able as you are, but if you had done
your share of the work during these
last ten years the contrast would not
be so marked. Iler face bos more
wrinkles than you-rs,. far more, and yet
if you were sick that face would ap
pear to you to be more beautiful fcham
an angel’s as it hovered over 3*011,.
watching opportunity to minis
ter to your comfort, and! every one of
those wrinkles would seem to be bright
wavcletsof sunshine chasing each otil
er over the dear old face. She wilt
leave you one of these days. These*
burdens if not lifted from her shoul
ders will break her down. Those
rough, hard hands, that have done so*
man3 T unnecessary things for you will
be crossed upon her lifeless- breast-
Those neglected lips-that gave 3*olll
your first baby kiss will be forever
closed, and those sad, tired l eyes-wil li
have opened in eternity, and then you*
will appreciate your mother, but it will
be too late. There, there, don’t cry
she has not left you yet. She is down
in the kitchen stringing beans for
dinner, and if 3*oll- feel so badly 3*ool
might go down and finish them, and
let her change her dress and rest an
hour before dinner- And after dinner
you might do up the dishca while she
takes a little nap. Then 3*ou might)
take down her hair and do- It up for
her. You need not wind it over 3*our
finger and fuss to make little spit curls*
as she used to do witli3 r ours, but give
itagood brushing and wind itupgentljv
and tenderly, as if you-enjoyed doing
it for her. The young man down* in*
the parlor can wait until 3*oll* have per
formed these duties.— Peck's Sun -
Gratitude Beyond Expression..

11. 11. Warner & Cos. r Sirs—The
result of your Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure in my case has been astonishing,,
so much so that I can find no words’
in which to express my indebtedness;
to you.. Rev. W. H. Prentiss,
A doctor will sit down and write a
prescription ; time,, five minutes; pa
per and ink, one-fourth of a centandl
the patient pays sl, $2, $5, $10; as the
case mav be. A lawyer writes ten or
twcjve lines of advice, and! gets from*
$lO to S2O from his client. An editor
writes a half column puff for a mam,
pays a man from fifty cents to one
dollar for putting it in type, prints on*
several dollars’ worth of paper, send 1 *
it to several thousand people, and them
surprises the puffed man if he makes
any charge.
The man who laughs is the sympa
thetic man. A man who laughs with*
one in prosperity is one who weeps
with him in adversity. The man who
never laughs, but wears a perpetual
unmeaning smile, is the man whoso
heart is cold toward 1 his fellows, while
the hearty, sympathetic natures that
greet every ludicrous incident with
hearty laughter are the ones whoso
chords are touched by every pathetic
circumstance.
There is More Strength restoring
power in a 50 cent bottle of Parker’s
Ginger Tonic than in a bushel of malt
or a gallon of milk. As an appetizer,
blood purifier and kidney correcter,
there is nothing like it, and invalids
find it a wonderful invigor&nt for mindi
and body. See other column..
