at $4,000, $4,000 and S5,uOO-in all,
$4,000. They were the private proper
ty of the late Gen. Twiggs, and were
presented to him in recognition of his
valor and devotion to the very govern
ment that has robbed him OF them.
Poor fellow, he. is dead, but his family
are striving to obtain possession OF the
swOrds-and, strange to say, b. +. But
Ter is their attorney in the suit for the
recovery Of the property.
1t strikes us as being akin to petty
larceny for a government Of the mag
nitude of the United States to stOop to
wrench property which belongs tothem
from the descendants of q man who
fought and bled in its defense. It is rob
berry in the Government, done through
malice. Gen. TWiggs was as brave a
mar as ever trod the soil Of Mexico,
fighting for the United States. That
very government has robbed his chill
dren of what he left, and what he had
earned on many hard-fought battle
fields. His spirit, we should think,
would continually hover over the de-
partment that contains his swords.

THE GREAT ISSUE.

The issue between the two great par
ties, after all has been written and said
and done, is mainly what it was Is years
ago-a patient and persistent effort on
the part Of the great mass of the Am
erican people to bring about a purifica-
ton of the Government and an honest
and equitable administration of every
department. Mr.. Dana, of the n. Y.
Sun, gives simple expression to the SEN
tlment Of a large majority of the voters
of this country when he pithily says:
"the Republican party must go"-be-
cause it has perverted it's power, abused
Its responsibilities, betrayed it's trusts,
and violated it's faith; because it has
been thoroughly weighed and found ut
terly wanting. Placing it's first Presi-
dental candidate in the field in 1855. it
rallied sufficiently from the defeat Of
Fremont and Dayton to profit by the
folly of the Southern Democracy and e.
lect Abraham Lincoln in 1850.
1t would be interesting to speculate
on what would have been it's mis-
sion and future had there been no war
between the States. But it claimed
BRIGHTLY or not the honor of the issue of
That great conflict, and came forth ex-
nitantly flushed with the prestige of
victory to the Federal arms; and it has
been on the defensive from that day to
this. 1t has never been able to shirk it's
accountability for the enormities that
marked its sway in the South for five
years thereafter; for the men who held
high authority under the ~satrapies of
Sick1es and Canby-adventurers all Of
them, n most of them utterly unscru-
pulOus adventurers-carried out at the
point OF the bayonet precisely what at
forwards constituted the reconstruction
policy of the Republican party.
State after State was wrested from
them by a people too sorely tried, until
in 1875 Democratic New York put for
ward its reform Governor to give voice
TO the national cry for a better govern
ment, and he was enthusiastically &C
cepted and elected.
we have been reared to love the
principles OF Democracy: we admire it's
past achievements and the history of
Its great leaders. Its doctrines are es-
sential to the very existence of a repub-
form of government such as ours:
and we believe that in 1884 it will be E.
qual to the exigencies of that great
struggle and the issues involved-a
struggle not for place and power alone,
but for the perpetuation of institutions
we have been taught to revere a. ne
cessary to civil liberty.

THE SWORDS OF GENERAL Tw,Gcs.

While in Washington, d. STA short
time since, we listed the printing bu-
reau of the Treasury Department. At
ter being shown by a lady employee the
different processes for printing green
backs, national bank-notes, internal and
revenue stamps, there were exhibited to
us the three swords of Gen. Twiggs, of
Georgia.
They were presented to him-one bv
the State OF Georgia, one by the fair
women of his native State, and the
third by his friends-as tokens of love
o his bravery in defense of his coun-
try in the wal of 1916. These swords
were taken from him by General Gov
ernor) b. F. Butler during the late war.
and put in the hands of this GREAT
Government, which stored them at
Washington, where they now are.

With this issue of the Sun l COM
mence INV editorial career. / do not
claim for myself entire freedom from
the imperfectiOns that human nature Is
heir to, nor do I set my opinions up as
infallible; but 1 have decided opinions
of my own which l expect to express
and to give my readers the benefit there
of. It cannot he expected that these O.
piniOns will agree with every ones i
deas-and therefore 1 will always be
willing to meet my opponents, on any
and every measure, on halfway ground.
In politics the sun will be Democratic,
and will always be found advocating
the true principles of that party.
In order to make the Sun a success it
is necessary to have the cordial support
of the community in which it is pub
lished. SO far that support is very en-
couraging; and I promise the many
friends who have bestowed their favors
at the start that no effort will be spared
to furnish them an interesting journal.
In assuming the duties Of an editor /
feel the great responsibility undertaken,
and I ask my friends and patrons to look
upohmxerrors with a charitable eye.
And now With hi greeting to the pub
lie the Sun msdes,ly but brightly, we
hope, rises above the horiZon-com-
mencing its mission as a newspaper a.

A CROP THAT PAys.-The Vest
eyw Tobacco Journal calls attention,
to what is familiar in North Carroll
ma, but what is little known abroad
- so little indeed that assertions Of
facts are received with doubt or de-
NAL. Undoubtedly the bright tobac-
co of this State and a portion Of Vir-
gina is the best paying crop known
to agriculture. The paper referred
to quotes sales IN Winston 1881 Tbs.
at $76.44 per hundred. Assuming
800 tbs. to be the average product of
an acre Of bright tobacco, the yield
per acre would reach the large sum
of S3S2.2O. Large as this is it has
been frequently exceeded by Mr.Rob-
ert Tilley Of Granville, who has OBJ
tanned an average $633 for six acres
And it has been several times exceed
ed in Madison and Buncombe. This,
as against cotton, the great money
crop, with apostolic S5Oper acre yield,
shows the vast difference in the mo-
ney power Of the two crops, the
great distinction Of the two being the
limit put to culture, care and ure Of
the product Of acreage of the same
extent.-4sheriWe Citizen.

the Fayetteville Sun. Now it is a
paper of vast circulation, hardly sur
passed in that respect by any Of the
New York dailies. "Tall oaks from
little acorns grow"
"When the leaves begin to fall"
the summer visitors take flight for
their homes in the low country.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

We congratulate the Raleigh estate
Chronicle" upon it's admirable move in
the initial number of the paper of the
18th inst, in endeavOring to obtain a
full and free expression of the chOiceof
the people of North Carolina for their
next Governor. We hope this effort
with regard to the chief magistrate on
ly foreshadOws the policy OF the Chron-
icle on all important questions affecting
the public welfare. The press need lose
nothing of it's dignity and influence in
thus trusting and deferring to the judg-
ment of the people. 1t rarely occurs
that the intelligent popular will is
wrong when it has a fair expression.
In this age of general diffusion Of in
formation on important subjects-espe-
cially political subjects the peo-
pie do not so much need education n
instruction as they need encouragement
and opportunity to be heard in matters
vitality affecting their interests.
The Chronicles keynote has the right
ring. \ little less machine politics will
help us. Let our county, State and dis
trict conventions be conventions of the
people, expressing their views and voic-
ing their wishes. Platforms and resO-
buttons concocted in the lobby, and
brought cut and dried upon the rostrum,
do not always constitute the best am
munition for a sharp campaign.
AN ERROR.-One or two of the State
papers, in noticing the prospectus OF the
Sun, make us "independent" in politics.
This is an error: we have stated the po-
litics of the Sun unequivocally, and Il
future course will be as decided as
announcement was emphatic. While
we cannot hope to be free from errors,
our u%tterances shall have no uncertain
sound.
But even good tools fail in bad hands:
and great principles can accomplish lit
tie with corrupt agents. We shall work
no less well for the party by daring to
point ont abuses and condemn evils in
u W ranks.

PERFECT CHRIsTMAs.
Leigh Hunts Idea OF What the Day

A Christmas day to be perfect should be

blazing fire, a dinner with mince pics, and
games and music in the evening. You can mol
have it in perfection if you ale very fine and
fashionable. Neither, alas can 1t be enjoyed
by the very poor, SO that in fact perfect

gress of things has distributed comfort more
equally. But, when we do our best, we are
privileged to enjoy to our utmost and
charity gives us right to hope. The COM

who has to receive forfeits from his mistress
is the holiday schooboy who springs up
early like bird, darling h,ther aud thither
out OF sheer delight, thinks of his mince pies,

and laughs at every piece of mirth with q
loudness that rises above every other noise.
Christmas evening should, If possible, an

without abruptness, and she Is repose over
