JOHN BRKSMAN Manager. 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. Our rater) .'of subscription remain un changed.

ENQjUlto, Publishes of‘‘THE SUN,” Hew York Git y PEARSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 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? Ben; Butler, of Massactmstte has! taken the stump for Hancock 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 Press. -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. YVe learn from reliable sources that the Norwood element in Brooks coun ty has gained (if it has not already had) the ascendency—boasting to thp contrary notwithstanding•Valdosta Times, NO. :)C, OUGHT THfcY? SpiTi.. Iscmaelite. 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. —a The people all over Georgia are evidently laboring aider the impres sion that the newspapers of this city ‘have a big stock o r h—ll on hand, as nearly one half of the letters we receive tell us to “give ’em hell.’* Boys, wc are doing our best to elect Norwood, but please recuse us, we are not in the h—ll business new, and hope never to be,—Atlanta Phonograph. t- 4 It wifi never do to elect women • to all offices. If a female Sheriff should visit the residence of a handsome man and explain to his jealous wife that she had an attachment for him, there would be a vacancy : c that offic in about two minutes. Joe Brown is the grand boil from which so much corruption and disu nity is flowing, and there is enough ot Li in him to corrupt the world— Conyers YVeekly, — • ■ It was tewbedied in the resolutions of a recent Colquitt club, that those not favoring his election were oppsed to religion \ Whore is this to end I How do the tircrand of the good people of the state like to be called drnnkards and infidels. Let us keepf politics and religion separate by all UlA'llK'.
