THE SUN.
NEW YORK CITY.
WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1878.

The Weekly Sun has now attained
a circulation of over seventy thou
sand copies. Its readers are found
in every State and Territory, and its
quality is well known to the public.
We shall not only endeavor to keep
it fully up to the old standard, but
to improve and add to its variety
and power.
The Weekly Sun will continue to
be thorough newspaper. All the
news of the day will be found in it,
condensed when unimportant, at
full length when of moment, and
always we trust, treated in clear,
interesting and instructive manner.
1t is our aim to make the Weekly
Sun the best family newspaper in
the world. 1t will be full of enter
tanning and appropriate reading of
every sort, but will print nothing to
offend the most scrupulous and deli
cate taste. 1t will always contain
the most interesting stories and ro-
mances of the day carefully selected
and legibly printed.
The Agricultural Department is a
prominent feature in the weekly
Sun, and its articles will always be
fresh and useful to the farmer.
The number of men dependent on
politics is increasing, and the
Weekly Sun is their paper especial
ly. 1t belongs to no party, and
obeys no dictation, contending for
principle, and for the election of
the best men. 1t exposes the COR
cuption that disgraces the country
and threatens the overthrow of re-
publican institutions. 1t has no
fear of knaves and seeks no favors
from their supporters.
The markets of every kind and
the fashions are regularly reported
in its columns
The price of the Weekly Sun is
one dollar year for sheet of eight
pages, and filty-six columns. AS
this barely pays the expenses of pa
per and printing, we are not able to
make any discount or allow any
premium to friends who may make

ton. Under the new law, which

CONNECTICUT ELECTION.
Democrats Ahead.

just rs we go to press we get
the following news from the Con
necticut election:
HARTFORD, April 5.--Thc cleo
ton is proceeding quietly in this
city. The weather is good, but
travelling in the country is bad.
There will be q tolcrably full vote.
The polls do not close until .
o'clock, and no count is made un-
til after that hour. The state
and this congressional district
are so close that it is impossible
to foreshadow the result. Gen,
Hawley's friends belivce he will
be elected. The republicans have
hopes Of carrying the legisture,
which will very likely have to
elect the state officers.
LATER.--Forty towns in this
state give Charles r. 1ngersoll
democratic candidate for govern
orr II, 158; James Lloyd Green
(rcpublican) s,oos, Henry d.
Smith (prohibitionist) 762. Last
year the same towns gave Inger
soil (democrat) 9S0S; Harris ire
publican) 1928, Smith (prohibi-
tionist) 941. Ingersoll is proba.
bly, elected by the people. The
legislature, as far as heard from,
is about the same as last year.
Hawley is probably defeated in
the First district by from 1000 to
1000.

Written for the DEMocRAT.1
TO PAULINE.

Fair lady, one whose heart Is true
Would gladly claim a word with you,
And humbly hopes you will not view
With darkcned frown,
This other Knight" who comes to WOO
With visor down.
Relentless Time has tried In vain
To drive the vision from my brain,
In bold relief it comes again,
The time and place,
When first In my ssChdteas de Espdgae7
saw your face.
We've met again, now shall yield?
Or turn from bold 'sSir Harry's" steel?
Mcthinks I'll buckle on my shield,
And let him know
Another Richmond's on the field,
His friend or foe.
A truce scarce expect from ono
Like Maimion bold Of great renown;
But let him all his armour don
And bold advance.
When e'cr he throws the gauntlet down,
Wen break q lance.
Then with your smiles s'Sir Harry" greet
And scatter roses at his feet,
II any thrust fail to meet
However keen,
From his good sword; or court defeat
BY coward mein.
And now fair lady, Ihave DONE,
May joys Respondent rs the sun,
Ger Lifes rough Ocean bear thee on,
Forever more,
Until your bark shall rest upon
The other shore.

Newspaper Controversies.

Abusive and personal journal
ism has cost another editor his
life. On Thursday the 25th ult.
Louis A. Middleton, editor of the
West Point (Miss.) Times was
shot and killed by d. L. Love, ed
itor of the West Point Citizen.
An abusive article rejecting on
Love, which appeared in the
Times was the cause of the awful
deed. Love fled and made good
his escape.

The Mining Troubles in Penn
sylvania.

The miners in the collieries of
Pennsylvania who have for some
time been at loggerheads with the
mining capitalists of that state,
are now at such q stage of wrath
and unreasonablcness, that out
breaks and riots are reported in
most of the. collieries. The gov
enor of the state has been called
on for troops, and has issued his
proclamation ordering all riotous
assemblages to disperse, and
commanding the miners to desist
from further demonstrations.

THE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in
dependent in its course, undc~ no
pledge or covenant to support the
schemes or fortunes of any man or
set of men, always having at heart
first, the good of the people of Pope
county, and of the state of Arka..
sas. 1t claims no right to lead or
direct in politics, or any other
sphere; but it does claim the right,
and will fearlessly and at all times
assert it, tospeak its own opinions,
on all matters coming within the
scope Of its duty as an independent
journal. Whatever prominence it
maintains in the affairs OF this
county or State, will be voluntarily
accorded by the people who support
it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes
to be judged solely upon its own
merits as Il local and state newspa-
per, having for its chief object the
dissemination of the news Of the day
with such comments upon current
topics as seem appropriate and are
conscientiously entertained by its
management. 1t will heartily sup
port all movements, political or
otherwise, which promise to fur
thur, and unhcsitatingly oppose
those which would jeopardizc, the
interests of the people. In every
department it will be as enterpris-
ing as its patronage will Justify.
Sensible men will approve the bust
ness management that limits expcn-
diture to the bounds of income; on
ly fools or enemies expect a degree
of excellence In all points that can
alone be attained by the possession
of resources and income.
