THE SUN FOR 1880.
TILE SUN will deal with the events oi
the year 1880 in its own fas hi on, now pret
ty well understoon by evereybody. From
January 1 to December 31 h will be con
ducted as a newspaper written in the En
glish language and printed for the peoplee
Asa newspaper, THE SUN believes in
getting ali the news of the world promptly,
and presenting it in the most intelligible
shape the shape that will enable its read
ers to keep well abreast of the age with th
b east unproductive e tp< nditur, oi tinn
Tile greatest interest to the greatest nm.
her—that is the lav, controlling its daily
make-up. It now has a circulation very
much larger than that of any other Amer
ican newspaper, and enjoys an income which
it is at all times prepared to spend liber
ally for the benefit of its readers. People
of all c auditions of life and always ol
thinking buy and read THE SUN, and they
all derive satisfaction of some sort in; in
columns, for they keep on buying and read
ing it.
In its comments on men and afftirs,
THE STJN believes that the only gnid oi
») olicy should ho common sense, inspired by
genuine American principalsand backed by
honesty of purpose. For this reason it is,
and will continue to be, absolutly indepen
dent of party, class, clique, organization,
or interest.' It is for all, but of none. It
will continue to praise what is good and
i eprobate what is evil, taking care that its
. language is to the,point and plain, heyohd
the. possibility of being zn is and, stood. It is
uninfluenced by motives that do
not appear on the surface; it has no opin
ions to sell,’save those which may be had by
. any purdhase? for two cents. It hates injustic
, and rascality even more than it hates un
necessary worjs. It abhors fraud, pities
! fools, and deplores nincompoops of evry
species. It will continue throughout the
year 1880 to chastise the. first class, instruct
the second, and disconntenence the tkcirdg
All honest men, with honest convictions,
whether sound or mistaken, are its friends.
And THE SUE makes no bones of Ellin .
the truth to its friends and about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which
THE SUN will be conducted during the
yeatr to come.
The year 1880 will bn one in which no
patriotic American can nftV.rd- to close Lis
eyes to public affair,;. It L impossible to ex
aggerate the importance of the political
event which it ban in part of evry citizen
who desires to preserve the Government
that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the
press, the exciting contests of the Repub
lican and Democratic parties, now nearly
eqaal in strength thou ghoul th county,the
varying drift of puplic sentiment, will all
bear directly and effectively upon the
twenty-fourth Presidential election, to he
held in November, the will of the nation, as
expressed at th polls, was thwarted by an
abominable conspiracy, the promoters and
beneficiaries of which still hold the offices
they stold. Will the crime o. 1870 be re
peated in 1880? The past deoade of years
opened with a corrupt, axtravagant and in
solent Administration intrenched at Wash
ington, THE SUN did something toward
dislodging the gang and breaking its: pow
ers. The same men are now intrguing to
restore their leader -and themselves to
places from which they were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they ;• suc
ceed? The coming year will answer these
mementos questions. THE SUN will be
on baud to ceronieal the fact as they are
developed, andjto exhibit the n olearly and
fearlessly in their relation to expedehey and
right.
Thus, with a habit cf philcsopeical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs ot
life, and in great things a steadfast purpose
to maintain the rights of the people and the
principals of the Constitution against all
aggressors. THE SUN is prepared to
write a truthful, instructive, and at the
same time entertaining history of 1880.

political NOTES.
Enquirer-Sun: Does Governor Col
quitt say that he was not opposed to
the “civil rights bill?” Does Gener
al Gordon say that he was not shoul
der to shoulder with Nor wood In op
posing it? Will either of them say,
that when it was delivered, they did
not fully endorse Norwood’s speech?
TV ill Governor Colquitt say that
lie lias not endorsed Nelms, by re
taining him keeper of the penitentia
ry ? Nelms made a speech this week
in favor of Colquitt, and lie lias said
repeatedly that the only way to get
him (Nelms) out of office is to beat
Colquitt.
Judge Hiram Warner will take the
field in favor of Norwood, and will
tell the Colquittites some startling
facts which cannot be gst around.
Atlanta, Ga.,September 2. —Will
J. Winn, of Cobb, was nominated for
senator from the Thirtr-fith senato
rial district, comprising the counties
of Fulton, Cobb and Clayton, lie
is an exceedingly strong Norwood
man and thus you can see tiow the
three comities stand on the guberna
torial question. The three counties
| will give Norwood 3,000 majority.
A t\vo-l!ilrds majority means two
i thirds, and nothing more nor less.
| in our legislative body a bill can be
I passed over the Governor’s veto by
a two-thirds vote; but should they
lack just one vote the veto remains
in force the same as if they lacked a
hundred. Mr. Colquitt did no| get
a two-thirds majority, consequently
he comes no nearer,*, in the strict
sense of the term, than if lie • had re*
ceived but ten voter. . .'?
Close Does Not Count. —What
difference does it make how near
I Gov. Colquitt came to a two-thirds
vote. He did not get it, and broke
up the convention. Close does not
count in billiards nor does in politics.
Gov. Colquitt and his friends cannot
get around the fact that they are the
disorganizes. The minority could
not adjourn the convention. They
voted against it. The majority kick
ed up all the devilment They would
concede nothing. Gov. Colquitt is
merely fulfilling a prediction made
months ago, that if he could not get
the nomination he would break up
the convention. He did it.—Colum
bus Enquirer-Sun,
Mr. S. YV. Coney, a Colquitt del
egate from Dooly county, pledges a
hearty support to Norwood, He
writes: “I dont believe in the way
the majority acted hi sticking out and
preventing a nomination. In this
(Dooly) county Colquitt delegates
were unanimously chosen, but when
the election comes off you will see
quite a different result.”
Sparta Ishmaelite: In none of
Gov. Colquitt’s late explanations of
his determination to sign the North
eastern railroad bond, and the moti
ves that influenced him, does he men
tion the name of Mr. Murphy. Will
he be so good as to recur to his testi
mony before the investigating com
mittee, and see if Mr. Murphy had
any hand in the matter ? The gover
nor seems to have forgotton.
Sparta Ishmaelive: YY r e hoar a
great deal said, and see a great deal
written, about Colquitt’s coming
within nine or ten votes of getting
the nomination at the late Joe Brown
convention in Atlanta. If a man
misses heaven by nine or ten laps,
he will be in outer darkness all the
same as if he were asleep in a fence
corner a thousand miles off'. He
didn’t get the nomination, and he
and'his friends said that he would
not run unles he received it But he
is running ail the same. Does the
honor of himself and his family re
quire that he should violate his pled
gee?

LYL ARP ON TAXATION
There was a fellow over in Rome,
Ga., who made a power of hiss be
cause we were fixing to build a city
hall. The extravagance of the thing
alarmed him, and, lie sawed the air
and lifted up his voice and pawed
the dirt around amazing, until 1 went
to him one day and says 1. my friend
I know you arc a patriot and a Chris
tian, but I’ve figured up the thing
about the hall on a specie basis, and
your additional tax will be just ex
actly 27 cents. Now here is a quar
ter and a cigar, and I don’t want you
to say any more about it, and lie
didn’t, The trouble with a heap of us
is we imagine the whole thing of
paying the pualie debt, and saving
the state is upon us individually,
when John H. James, and •Bhinizj .
King, and Austell, and Peters and
all of them sort pay the debt, and
we’ve got several gentlemen employ
ed regular to save the state when it
becomes necessary, bo let her rip.
Tut; Alston Fee. —Gov. Colquitt,
Gen. Gordon and the rest claim the
agents employed were entitled to
their fees before the state was paid
her money. The supreme court holds
that the whole amount collected from
the United States in this case belong
ed to the state of Georgia, and should
have been covered into the treasury
—the whole of it. The supreme court
is the highest tribunal in Georgia.
,YY o publish the decision this morning.
Let the Colquitt people read it and
then remember the manner in winch
Gov. Smith said the fee was paid.
The whole of the draft obtained from
the United States was sent to New
York to pay bonds and coupons of
the state, and by some process the
money was taken from the treasury
in Atlanta and paid Alston and oth
ers, without an appropriation by law.
Neither Gen. Gordon nor Gov, Col-
quitt have denied it. Gov, Smith
used this in his argument to show
that Gov, Colquitt was regardless of
law in paying money to h’G friends.
—Enquirer-Sun.
A horrible murder was committed
in the adjoining county of Lowndes
on Saturday last. A young man
named Allen Jones went home from
Valdosta drunk and upon his arrival
attempted to shoot his father. His
brother interfere!, and he turned upon
him and fired the contents of a shot
gun into his head, killing him instant
ly. Allen Jones than fled, and we
have not learned whether he has been
captured or not,—Quitman 'Yee

-D - I
Tin 814,000 Stump Speaker. -It
President Newcomb is not aware of
it, wc would call his attention to the
fact that the gentleman to whom he
is paying $14,000 a year for hie ser
vices in stumping the state for Col
quitt as against Norwood, needs a
schedule. He got on a side track at
this place and colbded with the
“Smith administration.” YVe thought
Norwood was the “fellow he was
after.” He couldn’t catch him and
he turned back to tackle Smith’s
or Bullock’s administration. What
interest can Newcomb have in Col
quitt’s election that would justify
such a salary being paid one of his
employees to talk.—Enquirer-Sun.

the Norwood element in Brooks coun
ty has gained (if it has not already
had) the ascendency—boasting to thp

Ought minoritie always to yield?
If so, the war of the Revolution was
wrong. If so, the South was wrong
in resisting the aggression of the
Nort' on her peculiar institutions be
fore tiie war. If so, the democratic
party in the United States lias been
wrong in resisting republican supre
macy in the United States, for the
past twenty years. If so, the meas
ure of a man’s might is the measure
of his right. If so, the Church is in
error in opposing the world, the Ilesh
and the devil. If so, right is to bd
determined by brute force, and not
according to the eternal principles of
truth and justice. The history of
nations and of parties shows that
minorities have been oltner right than
wrong. If minorities always ought
to yield, who would be left to resist
the oppression of the proud and pow
werful ? The doctrine is the doctrine
of absolutism. It is the defiance
with which tyrants, backed by their
mercearics, meet and crush the hopes
of men that would be free; and
!it is pitiable to hear men who
profess to revere the memories
of the founders of our Re
public, denouncing the very princi
ple upon which they based their resis
tance to misrule —the very principle
which underlies the very foundation
of our govenmental structure. When
minorities arc in the right, as they
unquestionably were in Atlanta, they
should never yield—never, never.
Even the - organs” thought so in 18-
60, and during the late war, find since
then—until they got joey into their
capacious and promiscuous bosoms.
Nov,- they cry out; “Minorities are
always wrong- they ought to yield.”
It is the folly of weakness, drunk
with misrule, it is an insult to the
manhood of a citizen of Georgia to
tell him that he is wrong, because he
refuses to endorse a majority recom
mendation of a man, who preferred
breaking v.p his party to letting go
his hold upon office! There is no
yielding in our opposition to those
who seek to perpetuate misrule in
Georgia.
