NEW YORK.

1776. NEW YORK. 1876.
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-tlird election of 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
everything connected with them
will be fully and freely reported
and expounded i'll The Sun.
The Opposition House Of Repre-
sentatives, taking up the line OF
inquiry opened years ago by The
Sun. will sternly and diligently in
vestigate the cOrruptions and mis-
deeds of Grants administration,
and will, it is to be hoped, lay the
foundation for q new and better pes
riod in our national history. OF all
this The Sun will contain complete
and accurate accounts, furnishing
its 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 third
term of power and plumber, 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 q circulation of over $4,000
copies, already has its readers in
every State and Territory, and We
trust that the year 1876 will see
their numbers doubled. 1t will
continue to be a 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 i'll ii clear, interesting
and instructive manner.
1t is our aim to make the Weekly
Sun tho best family newspaper in
the world. and we shall continue to
give in its columns a large amount
of miscellaneous reading, such as
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 espe-
cially is one of its prominent fe:.-
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 fifty-slX broad columns, is only
$12O 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.
The Daily Sun, large four page
of twenty-eight columns,
gives all tho news for two cents a
copy. Subscription, postage pre-
paid, 55c. Il month, or $3.50 year.

This wretched class of small par

exchanges, as follows: OF all things
contemplate, man who will read

the most contemptible; especially If
that man esteems it his duty to low

after devouring every morsel of

temptuous curl of the lip: "What

Now, being Summoned here to

whole truth, aud nothing but the
truth, 1 solemnly give it as my I'M
wavering opinion, in view of all the
facts and evidence presented to me,
that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
without even the shadow of doubt
in my mind, is guilty of the awful
crimes of adultery, perjury and hyp-
ocrisy. This, 1 say again, and be,

my deliberate opinion; aud I may

TFrom the New York SUM-

Mr.. Henry Q. Bowen's letter de-
Tending himself against the charges
of Mr.. s. V. White, marks one of
the most important steps in the
Beecher scandal. Mr.. Bowen has
long kept silence, but now that he
breaks it, no speaks to good pur>
pose. He does not hesitate to eX-
press his conviction that Henry
Ward Beecher, without even the
shadow of a doubt, sis guilty of the
awful crimes of adultery, perjury
and hypocrisy" He also plainly
declares that he has had cOmmuni~
Gated to him, confidentially, facts
regarding other assaults on the
sssanctity of home" by Mr.. Beecher
than that he committed within the
household of Mr.. Tilton. 1t is i'm
possible for Plymouth church to re-
fuse to listen to statement like
this and yet maintain its position
as q Christian organization. One
member, Mrs. Moulton, has on her
oath declared the pastor to be a
confessed adulterer. Another mem
Der now reinforces her solemn dec
laration, by publishing the fact that
years before the present scandal
came to light, he knew of cases
where Mr.. Beecher had craftily be-
betrayed the sanctity of other
homes than Mr.Tilton's. No church,
not even that strange one which
still owns this adulterer and per
jurer as a pastor, Can allow such
charges as these to remain uninyes-
Iigatei.
The blackness of the character of
Henry Ward Beecher is so deep
that the public were slow to believe
in the possibility of depraSity so
awful but now that it has been
made apparent to them, it is folly
for either the criminal or his foolish
partisans to try TO suppress the tes-
timony against him. PartiSanship
cannot help this man, nor is there
any medicine for his disease, except
his own total change Of character.
1t was always madness to suppose
that he could stand up against the
truth, to which SO many witnesses
were ready to testify. Now that he
has piled upon his accumulated
adulteries, perjury, blasphemy. vile
SANDER and treachery, he will stand
as towering monument of human
villainy and human credulity. He
cannot much longer ward Oft his
fate.

"BULEIsOZE."

We observe that many OF our con-
temporaries got the word bulldozed
into their dispatches and editorials as
stbulldogged." Wegave the etym0logy
Of the word II few months ago. 1t is II
Louisiana word OF negro parentagc.
Last spring, in the parishes Of East and
West Feliciana and East Baton Rouge,
large numbers of negroes began to join
the Democratic party. The Republican
leaders determined to put II stop to it,
and formed secret societies for the pur-
pose of whipping in the backs'iding
negroes. Among these was the famous
"Uuion Rights Stop at Mount Pleas
ant, on the river, which caused so much
trouble and was finally broken up by
the Sheriff when their oaths, bylaws
and list of members captured. Their
plan Of action was to spot Il coiorcd
| man who was suspected OF Democratic
proclivities, then to serve Il notice on
] him to come tca certain point and take
| the oath of the brctheren of the Union
| Rights Stop. If he did not come, they
| served II second notice, then Il third
| with It threat, and if he still refused, a
| detachment of the brcathrcn was sen:
after him, at night, and he was brought
in tied and handcuffed. He was then
told to sign the Stop and take the oath
| Usually terror made him comply, bu
il he refused he was put down ant
whipped with bull whip until he con
sented to join the league or leave TIN
State. In very obstinate cases thu
brethren were in the habit or admins
tering Il 6uii's doSc of several hundrc
Iashes on the bare back. When dealin
with those who were bard to convert
active members would call out ssgiv
, me the whip, and let me give him
, dull-dose." From this it became cas-
, to say ssthat fellow ought to be bui
: doscd or bulldozcd," and soon buiidoz

bullGozing and bultdozers came to be
slang words. After the exposure of the
Union Rights Stop, the Republicans of
this State sought to turn the force of the
exposure by applying the term to all
sorts of intimidation. Hence, when
they say that they mean to exclude the
"bulldozed parishes" it simply means
parishes where intimidation Is alleged
to have occurreCl.-N. o, Times.
