ago discovesed the golden mean between raO
dundant fulness and unsatisfactory breyitv.
III, Much Of that sort of news which do.
pends less upon its recognized importance
than upon its interest to mankind. From
morning to morning THR SUN prints n con.
tinued story Of the lives Of real men and va.

and troubles. This story is more varied and
more teresting than any romance that was
ever devised. WV

freshness, originality, accuracy, and deoorupo
in the treatment of every subject.
Nv. Honest comment. The SuN's habit is
TO speak out fearlessly about non and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each po-

CARNATIONS, but unwavering loyalty TO truS
Democratic principles. The Sun believes that
the Government which the Constitution gives
us is good one to keep. Its notion Of duty
Is to resist to its utmost power the efforts Of
men in the Republican party to set up anOth-
er form OF government in place of that whioh

diately following will probably decide this
supremely important contest The SUP be.

broken up as that OF white solidity. The
welfare of tho negro and white man
alike depends upon white supremacy.
Tho preservation Of social order as
we'll as that of the civilization of our
race depends upon it. These ends
can only be accomplished by solid
concert of action on the part of the
whites. Being naturally the superior
race, possessing the education, expe-
rienco and property OF the State,
with the machinery of the govern
mont in their possession, they can al
ways influence, by fair and Legitimate
means, enough colored votes to give
them t. majority, hostile Federal
Government to the contrary notwith~
standing. This can be done with
"clear conscience and clean hands"
Once the negro is convinced (aud
he is becoming more and moro cons
vinced every day of his life) that the
whites arc determined to maintain
their supremacy, he will at once
abandon the color line and cast. his
political fortune with his white neigh
Dor. When this is done (and in our
opinion, by adhereing to our straight>
out policy, it will not be long until it
is donel thero will be reorganization
of parties on other issues than that of
the color line. Then the policy of our
Groenville friends might be adopted
with good results. But until that
timo it will not do. There are huns
dreds of white men in everyloounty in
the upper portion of the State, at least.

vote for q negro, You may call this
political prejudice, or selishness if
you wish, but ie fact, and there is no
use in denying it. Adopt your Coon
cilation plan" and place a negro on

counties, and you will SEQ an opposi-

votes of disgusted Democrats, the
State ticket would be lost, land with the
whito Radicals from the upper section
and their dusIy allies from tho low
or section of tho State, the LegisIa-
turo, and consequently tho judicial
department of the State, would also
be lost. This in our opinion, would
be the result of your "conciliation
plan," and you had better abandon it,
for."it is better to bear the evils wo
have than to fly unto those we know
not Of" Whenever the negroes moral
and intellectual qualifications cnLiLle
him to Office, we have no objections
to giving it to him, but wo arc, like
Col. Aiken, and as stated by us in our
former article, "irreconcilabIy opposed
to giving the negro political recogni-
tioa because he is a negro"

Letter from Washington.

WASHINGTON. ,JaI

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a, 1881.
The House, after an all night Sos
sion on Friday night, did not feel dis
posed to do anything on Saturday, SO
at half past one o'clock, adjourned
over until to day. Tho House has
passed the pension, fortifcaton, ma
val, military academy, Indian, army,
consular and diplomatic appropriation
bills. The postal bill has been re
ported to the House, and it's conside-
ration is now ponding. 1t is expected
tho coming week that tho District of
Columbia and tho Legislative, EX-
ecutivo and.JudicaI appropriation bills
will be disposed Of Then comes up
the Sundry, Civil and Deficiency bills.
Department of Agriculture and River
and Ilabor bills. twill depend great
ly upon tho speed maIo in passing
these bills, whethor an extra session
will be called or not.
Now that it is assured that the now
House will DO Republican, contested
election cases will be tho order OF the
day. 1t will have moro contested
cases before il than waS over brought
in ono Congress-, if all who have sig
rifed their purpose TO contcst seats
| do SO. Five out of tho six Dem ocralic
Members from Mississippi have been
| inI hnt
tested by Republicans. Several cen,
tested cases will come up from Ala
bama, three from Louisiana, three
from South CAROLINA, ono from Fori-
da, ono from Arkansas. two from Vr
ginia, ono or two from North Carroll,
ma, and in fact tho majority Of seats
from tho Southern States will be con.
tested. 1t is tho general impression
that the Republicans will unsoat G
goodly number of Members from the
South, in the next House, and noarly
every man who ran for Congress ir
tho South, aa Republican, no matter
as 10 how many votes he received
has given notice of contest.
Outside of Congressional matters
Washington just now, is very dull
thero is a let up in the wild hunt foi
Office. This is very marked. The
departments are not overrun by office
seekers as usual, nor do they refrig-
crate their hccls in tho President's
anti room rs they did tow months
ago. 1t is not supposed for a moment
that there arc not as many people
wanting otiico rs ever but they are
holding back to tackle the now ad.
ministration. Tho time lett of the
present administration is too short tc
justify any oXtra oxortion of the of,
flee seekers.

Our able Representative in Cons
gross, Col. Aikon, spoke against tho
bill to refund the maturing United
Statos bonds. He favored applying
the money in the United States Treas
ury to tho payment of tho bonds rs
thoy fall duo, arguing that q reserve
for the redemption of United States
notes is not necessary, because those
notes are everywhere as good as
coin. The News and Courier in COM
monting on Col. Aiken's speech says:
"Thoy the United States notes)
would not be as good as coin q single
day, if it were mado apparent that
the Government could not redeem
them in coin on presentation. The
notes are at par now because thoy
can bo exchanged for coin at any time,
and while this is the case it is moro
convenient to use notes than coin,
and equally safe. The proposal to
apply the annual surplus revenue to
the payment of bonds is equally inn
practicable, in our opinion, because it
precludes any reduction of Federal
taxation. A reduction OF taxation
now is moro important than the fu-
Cure extinction of interest on the
debt. Lot tho next generation bear
and pay part CT the cost Of res sor;ar
the Union"

ATTENTION, BOYs,

The subjoined extract, from the
Pointe Coupee Banner, affords an
example Of the productiveness Of the
soil of this section that should bring
it to the serious notice Of young men
all over the country. A careful esti-
mate Of the returns to the producers
in this particular instance will show
that the boys realized a net proceed
of over twelve hundred dollars for
their labor, after deducting for their
board and all other incidental expen-
ses. What other calling followed by
young men in this country will re-
turn half as much? We dare say
there is none.
People in every section of this
broad Union will do well to ponder
over the great advantages this coun-
Try affords to industrious immigrants.
On the barren hills Of the old States
there are numbers of this class Of
farmers who dig and delve from early
morning till late at night to "make
ends meet" when, by coming here,
they could lay up money with one
half the labor expended for the inevi-
table "rainy day.
Friends, send this item off and let
the good people elsewhere see it:
Two young sons of our esteemed
fellow citizen Paul Joffrion, ESQ.,, plan
ted and cultivated during the present
year 4 acres OF care, IL acres of cot
ton and 10 or IL acres of corn. They
spent on labor to assist them in scra-
ping and picking cotton not over $50.
From this crop they have already ship
ped l6 heavy bales of cotton and have
gathered and housed about 225 bar
rels of corn, they will ship at least
four more bales of cotton and from
their cane they will get at the very
lowest calculation 4 hogshead of sugar
and proper tionate quantity Of mo.
lasses. This is a very good showing
for white boys and False River lands
