WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1875.

TINE APPROACH OF THE PRESI-
Il dental election gives unusual i'm
portance to the events and develop
ments of 1875. We shall endeasor to
describe them fully, faithfully, and
fearfully.
The Weekly Sun has now attained a
circulation of over seventy thousand
copies. Its readers are found in every
State and Territory, and it's 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 it's variety and power.
The Weekly Sun will continue to be
| a thorough newspaper. All the news
of the day will be found 10 it, conden-
sed when unimportant, at full length
when Of moment, and always, we trust
treated in clear, interested and in
structive manner. ca+
1t is our aim to make the Weekly.
Sun the best family newspaper in the
world. 1t will be full of entertaining
and appropriate reading. of every sort,
but will reprint nothing to offending
the most scrupulous and delicate taste.
1t will always contain the most inter-
esting stories and romances Of the day,
carefully selected and legibly printed.
The Agricultural Department is a
prominent feature in the Weekly Sun.
and it's articles will always be found
fresh and useful to the farmer.
The number of men independent in
politics is increasing, and the Weekly
Sun is their paper especially. 1t be-
longs to no party, and oheys no dicta-
ton. contending for principle, and for
the election of the best men. 1t expo
ses the corruption that disgraces the
country and threatens the overthrow
of republican institutions. 1t has no
fear of knaves, and seeks no favors
fran 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 4 year for sheet of eight
pages, and fifty six columns. AS this
barely pays the expenses of paper and

new law, which requires payment of

THE UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS
with which the Times has met, since
its establishment, is convincing evil
dcnce that the people of,the West and
South fully appreciate the efforts Of a
journal, which, in addition to its en-
terprise as newspaper, has the cour-
age to boldly declare and constantly
maintain the principles of it's political
faith:
The public journal most deserving
of Democratic support is the one that,
in addition to being full and faithful
medium Of general news, is also firm
and consistent advocate of Democratic
principles. A Democratic newspaper
is the newspaper for Democrats to
support, and the idea sometimes sought
to DO incalculated by those who have
an interest of their own in doing so,
that the people must 60 outside their
party organs to "6nd the news" is alb
surd and irrational, There is no. sort
of incompatibility whatever between
the political and n0n-political journal
as to the matter of news; many of the
papers now published throughout the
country, and especially valuable for
the amount and variety Of their intel
ligence, being also known for the abil-
ity and earnestness with which they
champion their peculiar party views.
Hence all things else being equal, it is
manifestly the duty Of Democrats to
limit their newspaper patronage to
such as are of their own way of think
ing and not to sqnander their means on
those that wage constant warfare upon
their established convictions.
1t is our desire to see the TIMES in
the hands of all Democrats, and every
well-wisher ofthe government through
out the land, and in order that this
may be done, we are now offering the
following extraordinary inducements
to those who will interest themselves
and act in the capacity Of club agents
for the TIMES throughout the country.
These rates for subscriptions and the
premiums are exclusively for subscri-

RESPITE.

New YORK, March ~. "a Morehead City,
N. g., dispatch of yesterday says Lawyer
Bryan, who was to be executed yesterday iol
the murder of Michael j. Langley, in Onsl law
county, has beeu respited until September
next. This was occasioued by the resignation
Of the sheriff and all other county officers who
were in any degree responsible for the execu
tio1 of the sentence. The reason gwen by
these officials for the non execution OF the
death penalty is that the negro criminal be-
longed iu Ouslaw county and not in this (Car.
teret) county. whittier his case had been re-
moved aud tried The Governor had on Ibis
account to postpone the execution to the 81 Of
September, when new sheriff and county Of
fcers will be elected.

Fitz John POrter'S Case.

New YORK, Mar 81. the Tribuuc's Wash
ington special says: THE Cabinet meeting
was mainly devoted to the discussion of an ap-
plication to the President Of General tl,z Johu
Porter for a rehcarlng of his case. 1t may be
stated with entire certainty that the President
will refuse to appoint Board for reviewing
the findings of the court marital. He has de-
voted much time tc The examination of the re,
cords and is very much opposed to Gen. Porter.
He regards him as having been guilty of afro
cious conduct and the friends of the cashiered
officer may not expect favor from the Prcsi-
dent. The members of the Cabinet with per-
baps one exception hold similar views to those
of the President. The Secretary of War said
he would be willing for Gen. Porter to have
new trial il the court could have the power to
shoot him if he Was found guilty and to restore
him if found innocent.

The Gorge.

PORT DEPOSIT, March 27.-1hc ice gorge is
growing weak very fast. Several channels are
working their way through it from Rock Run
down. People here hope now that all danger
OF another food is past. Everybody is busy
getting things Strengthened.
New YORK, March IA dispatch from
Delaware Water Gap says: Ar ice gorge e1.
tends from the head of Took s Island, six miles
above here and back eighteen miles. La all
hat distance there is Dot break in the JAM
The ice that formed in the river Tor nearly one
hundred and fifty miles is packed in that eigh-
teen miles, and as it has yet to 20 through
narrow and crooked passes between the noun
tains here, its moving is awaited with appre-
hensiou The property of the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad at this place,
and for miles below, is in such danger that that
company has many laborers cutting channel
through the ice, which is still solid between the
kittatinpy House aud the Gap, a mile and a.
half below. The Inhabitants ct the whole Sec
ton between here and Trenton are alarmed.
The villages Of Shawnee, Bushki Flatbush-
Vile and DiugmaDs are all exposed to the
dreaded iuundaton. The Portland wagon
bridge, seven miles below the Gap, is consider
ed absolutely certain of distinctions; two miles
from it is the 500, 900 iron bridge, which car
RIGS the track of the D. l.. T. W. R. R. across
the river. This latter structure. it is thought.
might withstand the food were it not tor the
unprecedented going off of the Portland bridge
The railroad company has proposed to the
bridge company to take its bridge to pieces be-
fore the food, for which the t"rulcr corpora
ton will pay the latter $l0,OnO. Of the lif
teen brid ges spanning the Delaware between
the Gap and Treuton, the luost va liable is that
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad at Easton. This
structure is of iron and is known as the II lgh
Bridge, uniting the borough Of Easton with
the village of PhiIlipsburg, n. D., is covered
wooden toll bridge, one of the Oldest, if not
the oldest on that river. Il is some distance
above the railroad bridge. Its situation Is such
that its destruction by the coming food seems
to be a toregoue conclusion. The Lehigh Val
ley railroad shares in the apprehension as to
the fate of the structure, inaSmuch as If 1t is
carried away the iron bridge must go also:
The railroad has offered to replace the old
bridge with new one if the bridge company
will burnt down at the first alarm given OF the
appearance OF the food.
PIrrsToN, Pa, March 1.-THE weather Is
yer, warm. The rain of yesterday had no et-
feet as yet on the river, and people are wal king
over on the ice 1t is not expected 10 break up
before to. morrow or perhaps later.
