THE SUN. 1877 NEW YORK. 1877

The different editions of the sun during the next year will be the same as during the year that has just passed. The daily edition will on week days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sundays sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns :; while the weekly edition will be a sheet of eight pages of the same di- mensions and character that are already familiar to our friends.
 The Sun will continue to be the strenuous advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the substitu- ton of statesmanship, wisdom, and integrity for hollow pretence, imbe- cillty, and fraud in the adninistra- ton of public affairs. It will con- tend for the government of the peo- pie by the people and for the people, as opposed to government by frauus in the ballot-box and in the count ing of votes, enforced by military violence. It will endeavor to sup ply its readers -a body now not far from Il million souls-with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy accounts Of current events, and will employ for this purpose numerous and ca. efully selected staff of report CTS and correspondents. It's reports from Washington, especially, will be full, accurate, and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy Inc hatred of those who thrive hy plundering the Treasury or by usurping what the law does not give them, while it will endeav- or to merit the confidence of the public by defending the rights of the people against the encroachment of uDjustiiied power.
 The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents month or $6.50 year, post patd, or with the Sunday edi- ton S7.70 year.
 The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, Sl.2O d year, post paid.
 The benefit of this large reduction from the previous rate for the Week ly can be enjoyed by individual sub- scribers without the necessity of making up clubs. At the same time, if any of our friends choose 10 aid in extending our circulation, wc shall be grateful to them and every such person who sends us ten or more subscribers f.'om one place will be entitled to ono copy of the paper Tor hinlself without extra charge.

THE OUTLOOK.

It is now almost thirty days since the election and ail is yet involved in doubt, uncertainty and most intense and trying sus- pense.
 Up to this moment (Wednes- day morning. We have no iatelli- gence which enables us to give the result of the official canvass of the vote in Louisiana and Flor ida. In South Carolina the can wasting board, by piece of sharp practice which wholly ignores all regard for the "forms of law" has certified to the election of the en- tire republican ticket. Two leg islatures are now in session in that State, aud every moment is franght with peril and threatened trouble. The republican house, without any quorum, is sustained be numerous State constabula- " and by the United States troops. Two negro members of the republican house have desert. ed and gone over to the democrat ic body. The defeated members from Abbeville have been sworn in in place of the regularly elect ed democratic members. The election of the democratic mem bers from Edgetield and Laurens is threatened and in order to pre- vent deadly collision the demo- cratic body has adjourned to Car. olina Hall.
 Wallace, Democratic Speaker has applied to the Supreme Court for mandamus to compel Mac key, Republican Speaker, to de liver him the returns of election for Governor, which it is the duty of the legislature to canvass. He also applied for quo warranto against the Hayes electors. To day is the time for the meeting of the electoral colleges in the States and in short time we will at least know what has been done.
 Free government is undergoing a severe test. The problem as to whether this republic shall stand as it was intended is now being worked out. The ultimate result will not be known until it shall be seen what Congress will do at the counting and announc- ing of the electoral vote.
 In the meantime it is to be hop ed that the wise counsel being given by Hampton will be observ- ed, and that moderation and for. bearance will be exercised to such an extent that there may be no outbreak, bloodshed or disturb ance. Let extreme measures, if they must be resorted to, to per petuate our liberties, be only the last resort.

The January number of "Pe- terson's Magazine" that paragon of the lady's books, is out in ad- vance, and is, we think, the most superb we have ever seen. There are two beautiful steel engravirgs, one of a little girl and water lillics: the other "Thc Wanderer," illustrating story by Frank Lee Benedict. The mammoth colored fashion plate is unusually elegant; it is a picture as we'll as a fashion plate. In all, there are some thirty fashion patterns in the number But the great feature is magnificent colored pattern of a new kind of fancy work, '"Ribbon Embroidery" which ev cry lady will be wild tolearn, and which is, besides, the most costly embellisement ever seen in any magazine. The stories are even better than usual, and no lady's book has such writers as "Peter- son." This magazine is cheaper than ever for 1877. Single copies are two dollars a year, but five copies are sent for $500, with an extra copy to the person getting up the club, or SIX copies for $9.60, with both an extra copy, and the large sized steel engrav- ing, "Cornwallis' Surrender" All are postage free. For lager clubs the prices are even lower. Spec imans are sent gratis to those wishing to get up clubs. Now is the time to get up clubs. "Pe- terson" is emphatically the maga- zine for the times.

WHAT WE ARE DOING.

We lave repeatedly appealed to the citizens of this and adjoin- ing counties, and urged them, if they desired this section of the state to attain that degree of prominence and prosperity which our natural advantages warrant us in expecting, to come forward with q liberal and generous sup port to our paper. We have as- serted that we would try to give the public good paper which would be credit to our section, and would do much to make us favorably known abroad. We have tried to do this, and we now have the satisfaction of knowing that our efforts have not been en- tirely in vain. We have the sat isfaction of now being able to offer cor.oborating testimony upon this point. The following extract from a letter from a gentleman of high standing and prominence as a live, energetic business man and Jealous worker for the ad- vsncement and the prosperity of our state speaks for itself:
 --- Nov. 24, 1876.
 "EDIToR DEMocRAT:-My Dear Sir: Please send me one hun dred copies of your issue of the 23d inst, or, if too late, one hun dred copies of next weeks issue with an article similar to Our Town" in it. Tie article refer. red to is admirable and l consid- CT your paper one of the best I dare not say THE best for fear of offending others in the State.
 As soon as this foolish political excitement about the election Is over l want to become a perma- nent subscriber to a large num- Der of copies. The whole tone of the paper is good--excellent- and does credit to the State, and such papers will do more to for ward the prosperity of Arkansas than $5,000 if paid for advertise. ments."

moved by nicely adjusted machinery. Not so the
Chicago men; they had the vigor and the endnr-
ance but not the wonderful skill of their antago-
nsts. Twice their No. caught crab
their steering was bad; they constantly
steered off towards the cas-. bank, and lost distance
in recovering the course, fault occasioned by the
too powerful rowing of the stroke oar Their cOur-
age and remarkable physical force, however, saved
them from bad defeat and enabled them to push
the London boat pretty closely clear down TO the
finish and to gain a couple of lengths by fine squirt
at the last The time Of the London crew was 90
Of the North Westerns s 1914.
For the closing heat the Cambridge Univer-
sity crew of England had no antagonist
worthy of their reputation and expectation.
The chances Of drawing for position
matched them with raw club from Burlington, NJ
j., called Oneidas. There was, of course, no Doubt
about the issue. Cambridge had scarcely to make
an effort to WIN, and was rowing for good time
record after the first half mile. Considering their
lack of training, however, the Oneidas did quite
we'll for they rowed an even, well-measnrcd stroke,
and pulled puckily the course, not at all Hurried
by defeat which they knew inevitable. The
Cambridge boat was so far in advance OF the
steamer that il not possible to observe closely
its stroke. The time of the race was: Cambridge
9:0G3i Oneidas, 9:53li.
Since the defeat of the NorthWesterns to-day, and
the withdrawal of the Atalants it is evident that
the final heat for the f0ur-Oared prize will be easily
won by the London crew. The most interesting
contest vet TO come will De the international College
race between Cambridge, Yale, and Columbia.
