The Cofcr.iitf-Murpliy Muthl e.
This unfortunate piece of nastiness is
s:ill causing a groat deal of talk and
<• i;ifr iversy, nit on y in Georgia, but
elsewhere. The radicals are indulging
a hope that it will lead to a disruption
of the democratic party in the state and
’he consequent success of an independ
cit in the next race for Governor.
Senator Hill seems to be not at all sat
i Died with the status of the matter. He
denounces the action of Murphy as cor
ruption, and says that if the Legislature
adopts the report of the majority of the
committee exonerating him (Murphy) it
will divide and destroy the democratic
party in the state, an 1 that it ought to
do so. Hill claims to be trying to save
Co’quitt and the democracy as a friend
to both, while Colquitt denounces the
course of Hill towards him as that of
an active and malevolent enemy. Hill
thinks.that Murphy ought to be dismiss
ed from the public service in order to
clean the hands of the democracy from
taint in the matter. Colquitt claims
that he lias no control over Murphy.
The friends of Colquitt charge that Hill
is actuated by personal spite and disap
pointment in being juggled out of his
fee. Huch is about the way the case
stands, at present. Both of the com
mittee reports are before the Legisla
ture to bo acted upon at the July ses
sion. The majority report exonerates
both Colquitt and Murphy. The min-
ority report exonera'es Colquitt, but
not Murphy. Both reports advise that
such action as .Murphy was proved to
have taken in the matter be made a
misdemeanor in the future.
Vt e hardly think that there is cough
weight in the matter to seriously injure
the democratic parly, but it will cer
tainly do neither the party, <he state,
nor any of the individuals connected
witn it any goo 1. The amount of harm
done to the party, however, will depend
much upon the action of the Legisla
tmc. If the General Assembly acts
properly, promptly, vigorously and em
] hatical y in the matter, much of the
threatened disaster to the party may be
averted, whatever may become of indi
viduals. But sucli action is impera
thely demanded. While hoping that
there is not enough in the case to dis
rupt the party, it is not worth while to
try to disguise or hide its ugliness.—
W ith the most charitable view we can
take of it, it dp snot look well in any
of its aspects. In fact, it seems to be
tainted all through from the surface to
the core. Wc cannot know Mr. Hills
motives in the matter, nor is his official
conduct involved. The naked staring
tacts in the case brought out by the
committee in alto-relievo , are that
Murphy, a clerk in the state treasury,
got a fee of SB,OOO for procuring Gov.
Colquitt’s signature to the bonds of the
Northeastern Railroad. Gov. Colquitt
knew before lie signed the bonds that
Murphy was interested, and knows, now,
that lie got the fee. This, we are told,
has long been Considered corruption at
common law, and it certainly is to the
common sense of honest men. Murphy
is still a clerk in the treasury. Gov.
Colquitt says lie has no power to remove
him. Technically, we suppose lie has
not, but who so raw as to think that a
clerk in a department of the adminis
tration could hold his place under such
circumstances without the moral sup
port or in spite of the disapprobation of
the Governor. Gov. Colquitt has never
expressed any disapprobation at Mur
phy’s course; in fact, they have run
together in this ease from the very
start. Tnis virtually places the respon
sibility for Murphy’s conduct upon the
administration. It is true the majority
report exorerates Murphy, but it. de
clares that what be did should be made
a misdemeanor. The plea that this
should be done in order to prevent
slanders in the future is entirely too
tlim. Make an innocent act a misde
meanor punishable bv tine to prevent a
slander 1 As well make it a misdemean
or for ministers to preach the Gospel
because they are sometimes slandered
1 y bad men !
Considering the great prominence
and official position of Senator Hill, it
seems to us that he has acted unwisely
in permitting himself to he interviewed
on this matter away from home. Sonic
of his statements seem ill-timed, uiis
p'aced, imprudent and not likely to do
himself or the people he represents any
good. His talk lias carried the discus
sion of the subject away from home
and enemies of the democracy are us
ing it to try to create division in our
ranks. The case lias now become one
of national discussion, and is, appar
ently, involving us in some da iger.—
This is our reason for writing so much
on the subject. We do not intend to
become a partisan of either Mr. Hill
or Gov. Colquitt in the personal .mar
<-! between them, hut will insist, to the ,
e <l, that the Legislature do not mik ■
the democracy of the state responsible
for Murphy’s conduct by adopting the
report of the majority of the committee.
They were not, by the terms of their
appointment, required to pass upon his
conduct; that part of their work was
entirely extra-judicial. There H no
reason in the world why the democracy
should shoulder Murphy and Ins heavy
fee, but many why they should not.
The minority report gives Gov- Col
quitt all he asked, —a full and comp’ete
vindication. Let us have the minority
repor : , at least, when the Legislature
re-assemblos. Whether or not any
thing more is required at their hands,
we will not now discuss.

Cob! Weather.
That oracular individual, the “oldest
inhabitant,’’ with hands in pockets and
chattering teeth, lias been persistently
declaring, for tlie last two weeks, that
this is the coldest weather ever known
in this latitude. The thermometer has
been as low as 18 degrees in Dawson.
At Macon it fell to 13 or 14 ; at Atlan
ta, to ‘2i and at Knoxville, Tennessee,
it nestled down to 2 or 3 below Zero.
From this northward the cold increased
to 30 degrees below at some nor’hwest
ern places. It was even reported at 60
degrees less than nothing at one place,
but our understanding is that the ma
chine freezes up at about minus 40, and
can’t go any lower. There has been a
great deal of suffering among the poor,
and some deaths reported from the ex
treme cold ; not here, of course, but at
other colder places.
Some apprehensions are felt here for
the safety of the oat and wheat crops,
but we hope they are not injured.
Resumption of Specie Payment.
The first day of this month was the
t ime fixed by law for the resumption of
specie payment by the federal govern
ment. The first was a legal holiday
and no business was done at the treas
ury on that day. Spec’e payments
were commenced on the second. The
banks had really resume 1 several weeks,
before. In New York all the banks
ran up their narional flags on tho sec
ond and there seems to have been a
general jubilation over the new order of
affairs. Greenbacks are now worth as
much as gold, and are receivable for
all claims due the government. It is
thought that resumption will increase
the amount of money in circulation by
setting afloat several millions of gold
that have been locked tip.
Fire in Columbus.
Avery destructive fire in Columbus
a few nights ago destroyed the Rankin
House, the finest hotel in the city, and
about a dozen stores. The loss was
about $150,000, but the sufferers were
mostly well insured.
A fire in Charleston a short time ago
destroyed 10,000 bales of cotton and
two or three cotton presses. Marshall
ville, Ga., also suffered by fire recently,
losing 4 or 5 stores.

Mr. Lane wanted to give his wife and
two children a sleigh ride, but he had
neither horse nor sleigh. He overcame
the difficulty by nailing runners on a
large box, and choosing the ice on the
river (this was near Dubuque, lowa,)
for the riding ph.ee, because there he
could easily push the vehicle and its
load. The party started out in high
glee, first making preparations for a hot
luncheon on their return. The ice was
strong near the shore, but thin over the
swift current. Mr. Lane pushed his
sleigh toward the middle of the stream.
The party broke through and were
drowned.

Liver is King.
The Inver is th imperial organ of the

breath and happiness of man. Wen it is
disturbed in its proper action, all kinds of
ailments are 'he natural lesolr. The diges
tion oi food, the movements of tho *'enr(
and blood, the action of the brain and nerv
ous system, are all immedmtely connected
with the working of the Liver. It has been
successfully proved that Green’s Aupust

dieted with Zhspepsia or Liver Complaint,
and all the numerous symptoms that result

THE SUN FOR 1879.
The Sun wit! be printed every day during
the year to come. Its purpose and method
will be the same as in the past; To present
all t e news in a readable shape, and to tell
he truth tlioueh the heavens fail.
Tiik Sun has been, is, and will continue
o be independent of everybody and every
iliing save the Truth and irs own couvictions
of duty. That is the only po'.icv which an
honest newspaper need have. That is the
policy which has won for this newspapei,
the confidence and fiiecdship <f a wider
constituency than was ever ci j iyed by any
other American Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people,
it is not for the rich man i gainst the poor,
or for the poor man apainst the rich man,
but it seeks to do equal justice to all inter
ests in the community It i-. Dot the organ
of any person, class, sect or party. There
need be no mysteiy about its loves and hates
It is for the honest man against the rogues
every time. It is for the honest Democrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and fot
'he honest Republicnn as against the dis
honest .Democrat It does rot fake its cue
frcni the utterances of any politician nr po
litical organization. It gives its support un
reservedly when men or rreasn es are in
agreement with the Constitution and with
lie principles upon which the Republic was
founded for the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated, as in the outr.igaous eonsphaev
of 1876, by which a man not elected was
placed in the President's oflßc •, whete he
still remains, it speaks out for the right
That is the Sun's idea of independence. In
this respect there will be no change in its
programme for 1879.
The Son has fairly earned the hearty ha
tred of rascais, frauds, and humbugs of all
orts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that
haired not less in the year 1879, than in 78,
77, or any year gone by. The Fun wiil con
tinue to shine ou the wicked with unmitiga*
ed brightness.
While the lessons of the past should be
constantly kept before the people. The Sun
does not propose to mako itself in 1879 a
tnagaz tie oi ancient history. It is punted
for the men and women of tod.iy, whose
concern is chitflv with the afftirsof to-day.
It, has both the disposition aid the ability
to afford its readers the promptest, fullest
and mosr accurate intelligence of whatever
in the wide world is worth attention. To this
end th resourc s belonged to well est..b
lished prospetitv will be liberally employed-
The present disjointed condition of par
ies in this country, and the uncertainty of
the future, leno an extraordinary significance
to the events of the coming year. The
discussions of the press, ihe debates and
acts ol Congress, and the movemen's of the
leaders in every section ot the Repub'ic
will have a dircc, bear ng on the Presiden
tial election of iBBO, an event which must
be regarded with the most anxious interest
bv eve y patriotic American, whatever hie
political ideas or allepiai.ee. To these ela
m. nls of interest may be added the proba
bility that the Democrats will control both
liousas ot Congress, the increasing feebleness
of the Iraudnhnt Administration, and the
spread nnd strengthening every where ot a
healthy abhor-nee ot fraud in any form. To
present with accuracy and clearness the ex
act situation in each of its varying phases,
and to expound, according to its well known
methods, the principles that should guide ns
through the labyiintb, will be an important
part ot The Sum's work for 1879.
We have the meat,s of making The Sun,
as a political, litery and a general newspa
per, more entertaiug and more useful than
ever before and we mean to apply them
freely.
