THE W EEKLY SUN
NEW YORK.

Eighteen hundred and seventy six
is the Centennial year. 1t is also
the year in which an Opposition
House of Representatives, the first
since the war, will be in session at
Washington and the year of the
twenty-third election of IA President
of the United States. All of these
events are sure to be of great inter
est and Importance, especially the
two latter; and all of them and
every thing connected with them
will be fully and freely reported
and expounded in The Sun.
The Opposition House of Repre-
sentatives, taking up the line OF
inquiry opened years ago by The
Sun, will stei My and diligently in
ves:igate the cOrruptions and mis-
deeds of Grants administr alton,
and will, it is TO be hoped, lay the
foundation for a new and better pes
Rod in our national history. OF all
this The Sun will contain complete
and accurate accounts, furnishing
it's readers with early and trust
worthy information upon these alb
sorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential
election, with the preparations for
it, will be memorable as deciding
upon Grants aspirations for a third
term of power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall be
the candidate of the party of Re
form, and as electing that candidate.
Concerning all these subjects, those
who read The Sun will have the
constant means of being thoroughly
informed.
The Weekly Sun, which has at
tanned n circulation of over $4,000
copies, already has its readers in
every State and Territory, and we
trust thai the year 1876 will see
their numbers doubled. 1t will
continue to be thorough news
paper. All the general news of the
day will be found in it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length
when OF moment; and always, we
trust, treated in ii clear, interesting
and instructive manner.
1t is our aim to make the Weekly
Sun the best family newspaper in
the world, and we shall continue to
give in it's columns large amount
of miscellaneous reading, such us
stories, tales, poems, scientific intel
ligence, and agricultural informa-
ton, for which we are not able to
make room in our daily edition.
The agricultural department rspe-
ci:.lIy is one of its prominent Tea
lures. The fashions are also regu-
larly reported in its columns, and
SO are the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages,
with fiity-slx broad columns, is only
$1.2O Il year, postage prepaid. AS
this price barely repays the cost OF
paper, no discount can be made
from this rate to clubs. agents, post
masters or any one.

Gives all The news for two cents IL

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS,

The franking privilege question
is again before Congress.
The reductions made by The COIN
mittee on appropriations, in the
consular and diplomatic bill, amount
to 800, 900.
The bill to reduce the expenses of
the military academy at West
Point, which has passed the Honsc,
will save the Government $4,000
per annum.
Congress has repealed the law,
passed last session, doubling the
postage on third class matter. 1t is
now as before, one cent on every
two ounces. This will not be liked
by the express companies, but will
be appreciated by the people.
Hon. JAS. B. Beck, the new Ken
lucky Senator, that is to be, is a
Scotchman by birth, and came to
this country full grown emigrant.
He is now about fifty-four years
old. He served eight years in Con
gress, but never held any other
public Office.
Senator Stevenson, of Kentucky,
will make the leading speech against
Pinchback' admission as Senato
from Louisiana. The result is very
doubtful, and the chances are unfa-
voraIle to Pinchback, unless the
Republican party leaders force him
through by caucus machinery.
Mr.. Douglass, of Virginia, has in
troduced bill appropriating $1,000
for damages done to a church in
Accomac county, Va, by Federal
troops during the war. If Mr..
Douglass succeeds, there will be
many others knocking at the door
OF the Treasury for damages done
to churches in the South by the
'forch and tupentine'' soldiers of
the Union army.
The Democratic Senatorial caucus
agreed not to reply to Morton's Mis-
sissippi speech. and appointed a
com mittee to decide upon "A course
in regard to his State rights resolu-
ton. The prevalent opinion is that
it is best not to notice "blOody
shirt" harangues, and thus avoid
any proceeding out of which polifi-
cal capital could be manufactured.
This course will permit vote or
Mississippi and State rights without
fOmenting bitterness, by which eve
ry desirable end will be served.
Alexander II. Stephens writes to
a friend in Washington that he will
mot be able to take his seat in the
House before spring. Other ad,
vices are that Mr.. Stephens is rap
idly decli. ing, and that his recovery
IS not ooked for. mir. Stephens
has said that he will not resign-so
his seat will remain vacant until
his recovery OF death. The district
represented by Mr.. Stephens has a
large colored population, and the
result of a new election cannot be
predicted. Mr.. Stephens was elect
ed without opposition.
Representative Hancock, of Tex
as, has taken up the perp.exing
subject of resumption, and wants
the Treasury to accumulate $780,
100000 in gold by the LIST of March,
1877, and apply it forthwith to the
retirement of like amount OF
greenbacks-560.000,000 of which
lie would destroy as soon as re-
deemed, sIetaining $4,000 COO as a
reserve. His theory is that this
course would bring greenbacks up
to a par value. This astute tinan
cier does not tell the Secretary OF
the Treasury where 10 procure the
| hundred millions in gold.

MR.. UHEELERS ACCEPT1NCE.

We publish this morning the letter OF ac-
ceptance of the Hon. Wm. A. Wheeler, Re
publican candidate for Nice-Presdent. 1t IA
straightforward and manly statement OF the
postiOn of the party upon all the Issues IN
yolved in the election, evadlng nothing, IN
duleiug in no ambiguity of phrase or express
sion. and leaving no doubt in the mind Of the
render as to the candidates views and opinions
upon the leading political questions which
occupy the public mind and divide parties.
Iypoif the important subject of our Southern
relations Mr. Wheeler is fortunate i'll being
able to refer to Il record already made as
chairman of committee OF Congress APP
pointed to investigate Southern affairs. Ills
action in that capacity was such as to com
mand the approval of the most intelligent ana
conservative men Of both parties and he has
done wisely TO quote from the report then
made as the best statement OF his pres
ont nosition. The extract given in the letter
shows freedom from craftsmanship, breadth OF
view. and statesmanlike comprehension OF
the subject. 1t serves not only TO dcilne his
own attitude, but to interpret as well the. ut
terance of the Convention Ill this regard. Upon
the financial question he gives no uncertain
sound. His construction Of the act Of Jan. ii,
1875. as a pledge to whose fuliillmcnt the
faith of the nation is committed, and for which
il is the duty of Congress to provide by sup
Elementary legislation, leaves no doubt as to
fine soundness of his views upon that subject.
With regard to reform III the civil service, he
SAYS briefly but pointedly that unnecessary
Offices should be abolished, that appointments
should be made upon the basis of high charac-
ter and particular fitness and that all Offices
should be administered as public trusts only,
and not for private advantage.
The closing sentence Of the letter epitOmzes
admirably the whole situation. IL presents III
few words the whole philosophy of current
politIcs, and summarizes the Republican argu-
ment. Good government good Will, good
"money, and universal prosperity" cover the
important questions of civil service reform,
Southern relations, currency, and wise economy
in expenditures. 70 the Intelligence and con-
science of all who desire the attainment OF
these blessings, he believes the Republican
marty, for which he does not claim infallibility,
but only an "hOnest purpose to retrieve all errors
"apd summarily punish all offenders against the
claws of the country may confidently sub
mt its claims for the continued support OF the
American people. The letter is, in all re-
spccts, satisfactory as embodying sound political
doctrine and containing positive and unmls-
taxable declarations of belief and opinion.
