"THE Sun" IN ECLIPSE.

never could see, since it Is in no sense a
ws-paper-called the Franklin Sun,
whereof Col. Lewis Tim is Ostensibly
editor and some supple-jack of COM
positor is publisher. The Sun, upon
two or three occasions of late, has felt
sufficiently red-hot and enviOus to as
sail, without provocatiOn, the TELE-
GRAPH and its editor. The last evil
dence of the SUMS senile spleen calls
for some reply.
1t appears from our cotemporary's
pied columns of the 26th ult., that
something said in the TELEGRAPH of
a few weeks previous, touching the
causes of the Democratic defeat in No
vember, loosened our cOtempOrary's
bile, and regardless Of the truth of his
tory and his own amenibility to the
courtesies of the profession, he charges
us with possessing disorganizing
spirit, with pursuing a selfish course
and with being in part responsible for
Radical success. We repel these accu-
stations with scorn and denounce them
as false. The editor Of the Sun is pre-
sumptuOus and impertinent.
He points us-instituting a COMPARE
son between the wisdom Of the policy
he pursued and that pursued by us-tO
a COMPARISON of results in Franklin and
in Ouachita parishes one Democratic
and the other Radical. IfCOl. Tim had
read our columns half as attentively as
he pretends, he knows we were not re-
sponsible for the Democratic defeat in
Ouaohita, and we know equallyas well,
repudiated for an Office by his party as
he was, he can lay no claim to Demo-
cratic victory in Franklin. Every hon
orable means in our power was used to
carry to victory in this parish pro-
gramme and ticket we did not fully
approve; let the people of Franklin
decide what was the course of the Sun in
the canvass in that parish.
But the Sun works back to the dis
cussion upon the congressional race, and
charges that our |'wAngling" to keep
up the Democratic organization and
maintain Democratic consistency was
to the injury Of the party and for the
promotion OF our individual ends. 1t
is pity there had not been more such
"wrangling;" we would not have wit
messed the spectacle Of parishes unani-
mously Democratic, two years ago,
going Radical in November.
And it is intimated in the Sun that
we were willing for defeat to ensue in
the State, if only we could be successful
in being returned to Congress. Some
editors are prone to ascribe to Others, in
given cases, only such motives as would
control them. How long since, has it
been, that the editor of the Sun discov-
cred us to be deserving of his criticism
and censure? We can remember the
time when he seemed to think we were
quite worthy. Was it our inability to
enter Congress and grant him favor
sought, that has changed him so great
ly? Or does he say that because as
representative of the people, believing
the peoples interest lay in certain
direction, we urged them to pursue it,
regardless of committee circulars, that
we were insincere, selfish and disafiect-
ed in SO doing? Has the Sun no con-
ception of a division which can some
times exist between ones interests and

WASHINGTON.

After some unimportant business the
question of amnesty was resumed.
Deneger, of Texas, spoke in favor of
general amnesty, but it had been buried
last week under Arlington cemetery.
Himself and colleagues, therefore, had
concluded that the interest Of the nation
and the Republican party required
them to vote first for Binghamsamend-
ment.that failing, for Beck's.
Manning favored a general amnesty.
Bingham said the question touched
the honor, and, in some sense, the pros
perity of the American people. The
first vote would be upon his amend
ment, which excluded only officers of
the United States in 1860 and 1861, and
those who, since the first Of June last,
had held Office to which they were in
eligible. He should vote against Farm
worth's bill for general amnesty; the
country was not prepared to take that
step. Bingham's bill only excepted
some two hundred. The relieved could
not, by any possibility, harm the Re-
public. There were about twenty thou
