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 tour pages
and on Sundays sheet eight pages, or Sc
broad columns; while the weekly edition will
be u sheet of eight pages of the same dinlen-
sions and character that are already familiar
to our friends.
THE SUN will continue to be the strenu-
Gus advocate of reform and retrenehment.
and of the substitution of statesmanshp wis
dom. and integrity for hollow pretence, inn
becility and fraud in the administration of
public affairs. 1t will contend for the gov
ernment of the people by the people and for
the people. as opposed to government hv
fraud in the balot-boX and in the counting
of votes, enforced by military violence 1t
will cndeaver to supply its readers--a body
now not for from million ofsouls--with the
most Careful complete, and Trustworthy ac-
counts OF current events, and will employ
for this purpose numerous and carefully Sc
lected stan OF reporters and correspondents.
Its reports from Washington, especially. will
be full, accurate, and fearless; and it will
doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy the
hatred of those who thrive by plundcring the
Treasury or by uSurping what the law does
not give them while it will endeayor to mer-
1t the confidence of the public by defending
the rights of the people against the eLcroach-
ments of uniustilied power.
The price Of the daily Sun will be So cents
a mouth or $3.50 year, post paid, or with
the Sunday edition $40 year.
The SUNDAY edition alone, eight pages
81 ~ year, post paid.
The WEEKLY sun, eight pages Of Sc broad
columns, viii be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of 81 year, post paid.
The benefit Of this great reduction from the
previous rate for the WEEKLY can bo enjoy
ed by individual subscribers without the ne
cessity OF making up clubs. At the same
time, II any of our friends choose to aid in
extending our circulation, we shall be CRATE
iul TO them. and every person who sends us
ten or more subscribers from one place will
be entitled to one copy of the paper for him
self without charge. At one dollar year,
postage paid, the expenses of paper and prin-
ting are barely repaid and considering the
size Of the sheet and the quality of its con-
| tents. we are confident the people will con-
| slider THE WEEKLY SIN the cheapest
newspaper published in the world. and we
| trust also one of the very best. Address,

Judge II. J. Mackcy, of South Corolina,
is here as bearer OF letter from Gen.
Wade Hampton to Gov. Hayes. The
letter is as follows:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
COLUMBIA, Dec. %, 1876
My DEAR SIR: | have the honor to
enclose a copy of my inaugural, as the
duly elected governor of South Carolina.
In view Of current events and the ofiie-
al sanction given to Il gross misrepre-
scntation OF the acts and purposes of the
majority of the good people of this com
monwealth, | deem it proper to declare
that profound peace prevails throughout
this state; that the course of judicial pro-
ccedings is sobstructed by no combination
of citizens thereof, and that the laws for
the protection Of its inhabitants in all
their rights Of person, property and cit
izenship are being enforced in our courts.
While the people of this state are not
wanting either in the spirit or means to
maintain their rights Of citizenship a.
gainst the usurped power which now
defies the supreme judicial authority of
the state, they have such faith in the
justice of their cause that they propose
to leave its vindication to the proper le-
gal tribunals, appealing at the same time
to the patriotism and public sentiment
of the whole country. The infammato-
ry utterances of a portion of the public
press render it perhaps not inopportunc
for me to state that although the people
of South Carolina view with grave con
Germ the present critical conjuncture in
the affairs of our country, which threat
ems to subject to an extreme test the
republican system of the government
ITSELF it is their firm and deliberate pur-
pose to condemn any solution of the ex-
isting political problems that involves
an exhibition Of armed force, or that
move through any other channel than
the prescribed form of the constitution,
or the peaceful agencies Of law. Trust
ing that solution may be had which,
while maintaining the peace of the coun-
try, shall do no violence to the consti-
tutional safeguard Unpopular rights, and
that will tend still more firmly to unite
the people of all the states in an earnest
effort to preserve the peace, to sustain
the laws and the constitution. | am,
very respectfully, your obedient ser
want,
