A TISSUE OF FALSEHOODS. Report of a Government Spy on the Caro? lina Election. Department of Justice, Washington, November 29,1878. Hon. Charles Devens, Attorney General United States: Sib?In carrying out the instructions directing me to ascertain from personal examination whether sufficient justifica? tion existed for the arrests recently made in the State of South Carolina for alleged violation of the enforcement laws, I have the honor to report that abundant testi? mony is at hand showing that sufficient justification does exist for the arrests thus far made, and that the number of these arrests is not commensurate with the violations of law that appear to have prevailed at every polling precinct throughout the State at which there was a contest between the opposing political parties. The circumstances surrounding the elections in South Carolina on the 5th instant, taken in conjunction with the sworn statements of the Republican su? pervisors of elections, and of other sworn testimony, give evidence of a preconcer? ted, as well as consummated action upon the part of the Democratic managers of elections, looking to the accomplishment throughout the State of results favorable to the success of the Democratic ticket, without regard to the number or charac? ter of the ballots cast, and without scru? ple as to the means employed. From the statements and the circum? stances above alluded to, it appears that the Democratic voter had +wo distinct forms of ballot tickets at the polling pre? cincts in the State, except in counties known to be Democratic and in counties where no Republican nominations had been made; that one form of these tick? ets was used openly and the other secret? ly, and that both contained the names of the Democratic nominees; that one form of these tickets was from three to five times larger than the other, being of Slain, white paper, with the names of lemocratic nominees for Congress and other offices printed in bold type, and that the second form was of tissue paper, about three inches long by one and a half inches wide, the names of nominees 1 being the same as on the larger tickets, but printed in fine type, and commonly known as "kiss-joke," or tissue tickets!, specimens of which will be found upon Page SO, Exhibit "A" annexed. Concert of action in placing the "kiss joke," or tissue tickets, seems to have prevailed at all voting precinct- in which they were used. The testimony is uniform that no such tickets were in circulation about the polls, bnt that at the close of the polls they were found in large numbers in the various ballot-boxes, and it then became apparent that they bad been voted in quantities of four to seveu at a time by means of folding them within the larger Democratic ticket, or that they had been placed in the ballot-boxes previous to the opening of the polls. The testimony is to the effect that both these illegal meth? ods were adopted. [See statements of Supervisors Thorne, pp. 1 and 2; Ryan, pp. 2 and 3; Field, Sp. 6 and 7; Young, pp. 10 and 11; lerman, pp. 17, and Parris, pp. 19, of Exhibit A, herewith annexed; also pp. 3 and 4, of Exhibit B, herewith annexed.] This method of procedure made in every instance an excess of ballots in the boxes greatly outnumbering the names on the poll lists, reaching, in one in? stance, to the number of thirteen hun _dred. In some instances the ballots found in the boxes were counted by the Democratic managers without regard to the poll lists and against the protests of the Republican supervisors. In other cases where the ballots in the boxes were found to be in excess of the number of names on the poll lists, the managers directed that all the ballots be returned to the boxes. One of their number or the clerk was then blindfol? ded and told to draw but one ballot at a time, until the number in excess bad been taken out and destroyed, the num? ber so taken out and destroyed being uniformly Republican tickets. The manner of effecting this result ap? pears to have been as follows: The polls having closed the ballot boxes were opened, and their contents taken out for the purpose of counting the votes. The count then took place, not in accordance with the law, which provides that the ballots shall be counted before being opened, but by opening or unfolding all the ballots before counting them. This method was practiced with great . unanimity at the various polling pre? cincts in the State, and the managers of elections were thus informed of the char? acter of each ballot as they were counted. . The Republican ballots were placed in . one parcel, the Democratic ballots in . -'another, and the tissue ballots in a third, j^- This entire proceeding was in direct violation of the local-laws of the State, providing that: ''Each box being opened, the ballots contained therein shall be taken out and counted unopened, except so far as to ascertain that each ballot is single; and if two or more ballots shall be founiso,folded together as to preserve the appearance of a single ballot they shall be destroyed, if the whole number of ballot* exceed the whole number of votes, and not otherwise." [Revised Statutes S. C, vol. 14, p. 140, sec. 18.] The proceedings in question were also in violation of Section 5,515, Revised Statutes United States, which makes any and every unauthorized act performed by an officer of election a crime-against the United States, punishable by fine and imprisonment, or by both. The count having been made and the excess discovered, the ballots were or? dered returned to the boxes for the pur? pose of having the number in excess drawn out. To accomplish this drawing in favor of the Democratic ticket, and against the Republican ticket, the ballots were so cunningly refolded as to admit of no mistake. The Republican ballots were folded lengthwise, this giving them the form of a paper six to seven inches in width. The Democratic ballots of the large size were folded "over and over," this giving them the form of a paper two-and-a-half inches in length, by three-eights or one half inch in width. The Democratic ballots of the small size were thrown back promiscuously into the boxes, in many instances without being refolded. These were the "kiss joke" or tissue tick? ets, whose character could be readily de? tected, whether they were folded or otherwise. This proceeding wa3 also in violation of the local election laws of the State, especially of Section 19, R. S , of South Carolina, page 140, Volume 14; and in ? violation of Section 5,515, R. S., United States. These provisions of law appear to have been totally disregarded, and in the con? summation of such violations of them as are above recited, the blindfolded mana? gers experienced no difficulty in distin? guishing the long and narrow Republican tickets from the others, and they were the ones drawn out at all the polling pre? cincts where such drawings occurred. In one instance where the excess of the ballots in the box was two hundred and twenty over the number of names on the poll list, the ballots were folded as above described, and two hundred and twenty Republican ballots were drawn out and destroyed. That the programme of using the "kiss joke" or tissue tickets, for the purposes of fraud, was preconcerted, and had its origin in some central management, the authority of which was acknowledged and obeyed in remote as well as the more accsssible parts of the State,, is demon? strated in various ways. On the day preceding the election, to wit: on the 4th day of November, 1878, there appeared placarded upon the walls and conspicuous places in Charleston, S. C, a half sheet poster headed: "Demo? cratic Frauds, Ballot-Box Stuffing," &c. The text of this poster, a copy of which is herewith annexed as Exhibit D, sets forth that the Democratic executive com? mittee of the State of South Carolina had procured thousands of the "kiss joke" or tissue tickets, which were to be given to certain Democrats at each poll, to be stuffed into the ballot boxes. The poster also set forth the plan of drawing out the excess of ballots that would be found in the boxes, and warned the Republicans of what they might expect, but it was then too late. The State had been flood? ed with the tissue tickets, and the results of the election on the following day dis? closed the fact that the plan had been carried out, not in one or two localities alone, but in all the precincts in the State where it was thought they would be need? ed ; and further, that it had beeu carried out in precisely the same way in locali? ties so remote from each other as to show there must have been a common direction given to the plan from some central power which was implicitly obeyed. In further evidence of preconcert of action in the use of these tickets, the re? marks of Mr. H. M. Loften, Democratic supervisor of elections at Henderson's Store precinct, Charleston, S. C, to Mr. J. J. Gorman, may be cited. Mr. Gor? man was the Republican supervisor at the same polling precinct, and states that he had not, until the hour of 3 p. m. on the day of election, seen any of the "kiss joke" tickets; but that at that hour Mr. Loften took one of the "kiss jokes" from his vest pocket, and holdiug it to Mr. Gorman, said: "Jake, here is the ticket running through the county to-day," and immediately returned the tic'<c-? to his pocket. It appears further from the sworn state? ments of the Republican supervisors of elections that the "kiss joke," or tissue tickets were used exactly as it was inten? ded they should be, and that the Demo? cratic managers of elections at the poll? ing precincts pursued a uniform plan of handling them in such a manner as to render them fully effective for the crime they were designed to consummate. In some instances the polls were not opened by law?i. e, before 6 o'clock on the morning of election?and the Re? publican supervisors arriving at the polls fifteen minutes before 6 a. ra., were told that the polls were then open, and that several persons had voted. When these supervisors demanded the privilege and right of examining the ballot-boxes, claiming that the legal hour for opening their watches as evidence of the fact, and referring to the clock of St. Michael's (the standard time in Charleston,) which had not then tolled the hour of 6, they were treated with contempt, and their demands to examine the ballot-boxes were not acceded to. The managers of the election (Democrats in every instance, and so appointed iu violation of law) ex? hibited their own watches, the hands of which bad been moved forward to suit the occasion, and declared that it was past six by their time, and that they would be guided by no other. Action of the kind just recited was taken in a sufficient number of cases to show the design to have been general and preconcerted. In other iustauces the Republican su? pervisors of election were seized on their way to the polls by mobs of men, who prevented them from reaching the polls until long after the hour of opening, and after from 100 to 200 men had voted ille? gally. In still other instances, mobs of men so surrounded the polls that citizens de? siring to vote the Republican ticket were not permitted to exercise the right of suffrage. Iu still other instances mobs of armed men to the number of forty or fifty took complete possession of the polls, captur? ing the ballot-boxes and so adding to the ballots therein as to produce results fa? vorable to the success of the Democratic ticket, without reference to the number or the character of the ballots legally cast. Pistols were at the same time brand? ished and exploded. Supervisors of elections and authorities, and deputy marshals of the United States, were knocked down and driven from the polls, and colored citizens were compelled to flee in order to preserve their lives. In some localities the commissions sent by the chief supervisor of elections, em? powering certain persons to act as super? visors, were not delivered because of the terrorism produced by the county being patrolled in the interest of the Demo? cratic managers by mounted and armed men. In these same localities private dwellings, occupied by white Republican citizens, were fired into, and colored citi? zens who would not wear the "red shirts" were advised to remain at home. In still other localities many supervi? sors of elections refused to serve, after their commissions had been received, threats of violence having deterred them from so acting; and iu those same local? ities Republican voters were subjected to such indignities in their endeavors to vote as to deter them from attempting to de? posit their ballots, and in this matter many of the citizens made a public pro? test. To these and other acts of violence re? cited in Exhibit A must be added the attempts of alleged perpetrators to rid themselves of the responsibility of one crime by the consummation of another. The cases of Samuel Lee, of Sumter, and of Rev. E. M. Piiickney, of Kingstree, South Carolina, are pertinent to this point. The former .was forcibly taken from the custody of the United States and locked up while I was in Charleston, S. C. The latter was kidnapped in the city of Charleston on the night of the 20th instant, being called to his door upon some specious pretext, and there seized by armed m:;n and spirited away. This also occurred while I was in the city of Charleston. Intelligence regard? ing this transaction came to mc on the following morning, and I instituted in? quiries which disclosed that Mr. Pinck ney had been taken to the Central Guardhouse (Main Police Station) on the night before; that certain papers, purporting to be an order and warrant for his arrest, had been exhibited, and that he had been taken into the country on the 0:45 p. m. train, on the Northeast Railroad. A habca? corpus, cum cause, was immediately issued for him, and a deputy marshal sent to execute it, but with what success I did not hear, as I left the State before the deputy returned to Charleston, S. C. The exhibit herewith submitted shows that one general offence against the rights of citizens was committed at the recent Congressional elections in the State of South Carolina, and that there were three several stages or epochs in its consummation, each requiring a different order of procedure, and jointly consti? tuting an offence against the enforcement laws, committed before the day of elec? tion, upon the day of election, and sub? sequent thereto. The enumeration of these offences as set forth in the exhibit alluded to sug? gests the consideration of that portion of my instructions pertaining to the matter of the arrests thus far made of the alleged guilty parties, and to the justification ex? isting there. These arrests do uot number eighty, all told, and I repeat that there is not only justification for them, but that the number is not commensurate with the violations of law that appear to have pre? vailed at every polling precinct through? out the State at which there was a con? test between opposing political parties. I have been led to this conclusion by a careful personal examination of some of the witnesses, whose names arc herein cited, by frequent conlVrenccs with the U. S. district attorney and his assistants, and by an analysis of the circumstances not arrived, exhibitiu; surrounding the elections in question, knowledge of which was derived from what I believe to be reliable sources; and I respectfully submit that in the in? terest of public justice, and for the better protection of citizens of the United States in the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution, as well as for the more per? fect preservation of the purity of the bal? lot box, prosecutions in all the eases above alluded to, and in all others of a kindred nature, should be conducted vigorously. I desire to say further, that my obser? vation of the manner in which prosecu? tions already begun are being pressed, does not show that they arc carried on in a partisan spirit or with any other de? sign than to enforce the provisions of the existing laws. Respectfully submitted. A. B. Newcomb, Department of Justice. A POLITICAL CURIOSITY. Word* thut nro fair from Hps that nxe false?What Grant suld about the South before he becuinc President. Headquartehs Army of the United States, December IS, 1SC5. To his Excellency A. Johnson, President of the United States : Sir?In reply to your note of the 16th inst., requesting a report from me giving such information as I may be in posses? sion of, coming with the scope of inqui? ries made by the Senate of the United States in their resolution of the 12th in? stant, I have the honor to submit the fol? lowing, with your approval, and also that of the honorable secretary of war: I left Washington on the 27th of last month for the purpose of making a tour of inspection through some of the South? ern States lately in rebellion, and to sec what changes were necessary in the dis? position of the military force of the country, and bow these forces could be reduced, and expenses curtailed, &c, and to learn as far as possible, the feeling and the intentions of the citizens of the States towards the General Government. The State of Virgina being so accessible to Washington City, and information from this quarter, therefore, being readily ob? tained, I hastened through the State without conversing or meeting with any of the citizens. In Raleigh, N. C, I spent one day; in Charleston, S. G, two, and in Savannah and Augusta, 6a., each one day. Both in travelling and while stopping I saw much and conversed free? ly with citizens of these Stales as well as with officers of the army who have been stationed among them. The following are the conclusions come to by me: I am satisfied the mass of thinking men of the South accept the present sit? uation of affairs in good faith. The questions which have hitherto divided the sentiments of the people of the two sections?slavery and state rights, or the right of a State to secede from the Uuion ?they regard us having been settled forever by the highest tribunal of arms that man can resort to. I was pleased to learn form the leading men who I met that they not only accepted the decision arrived at as final, but now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, and time has been given for reflection, that this decision has been a fortunate one for the whole country, they receiving the like benefits from it with those who oprosed them in the field and in the council. Four years of war, during which the law was executed only at the point of the bayonet through the States in rebellion, have left the people possibly in that con? dition not to yield that ready obedience to civil authority the American people have geuerally been in the habit of yielding. This would render the pres? ence of small garrisons throughout those State necessary until such time as labor returns to its proper channel, and civil authority is fully established. I did not meet and one, either those holding place under the Government, or citizens of Southern States, who thought it practica? ble to withdraw the military from the South at present. The white and black naturally require the protection of the General Government. There is such universal acquiescence in the authority of the General Government throughout the portions of the country visited by me, that the mere presence of a military force, without regard to numbers, is suffi? cient to maintain order. The good of the country requires that a force De kept in the interior where there are many freedmen. Elsewhere in the Southern Stales than at forts on the sea coast no force is necessary. The reasons for this are obvious. Without mention? ing any of them, the presence of black troops, lately slaves, demoralizes labor both by their advice and furnishing in their camps a resort for the freedmen for long distnnces around. White troops generally excite no opposition, and, therefore, a smaller number of them can mnntain order in a given district. Col? ored troops must be kept in bodies suffi? cient to defend themselves. It is not the thinking man who would do violence to? ward any class of troops sent among them by the General Government, but the ignorant in some places might: and the late slave, too, who might be im? bued with the idea that the property of his late master should by right belong to him, at least should have no protection from the colored soldier. There is no danger of a collision being brought on by such cases. My observations lead me to the conclu? sions that the Southern States are anx? ious to return to self-government within the Union as soon as possible; that while reconstructing they want and require protection from the Government that they think is required of the Govern? ment, and is not unmilitary to them as citizens, and if such a course was pointed out they would pursue it in good faith. It is to be regretted that there cannot be a greater commingling at this time be? tween the citizens of the two sections, and particularly of those intrusted with the law-making power. I did not give the operations of the Freedman's Bureau that attention I would have done if more lime had been at my disposal. Conversations, howev? er, on the subject with officers connected with the bureau lend me to think that in some of the States its affairs have been conducted with good judgment or econo? my, and that the belief widely spread among the freedmen of the Southern States that the lands of their former owners will, at least in part, be divided among them, have come from agents of the buicau. This belief is serieusly in? terfering with the willingness of the freed? men to make contracts for the coming year. In some form the Frcedincn'.s Bu? reau is an absolute necessity until the civil law is established and enforced, se? curing to freedmen their rights nnd full protection. At present, however, it is independent of the military establish? ment of the country, and seems to he op? erated by the difTcrent agents of the bu? reau according to their individual notions. Everywhere Gen. Howard, the able head of the bureau, has made friends by the just and fair instructions and advice he gave, but the complaint in South Caroli? na was, that when he left things went on as before. Many, perhaps a majority, of the agents of the Freedinen's Bureau ad? vised the freedmen that by their own in? dustry they must expect to live. To this end they endeavored to secure employ? ment for them, and to see that both of the contracting parties complied with their engagements. In some cases, I nm sorry to say, the freedman's mind does uot seem to be disabused of the idea that the frecdman has a right to live without career provision for the future. The effect of this belief in the distribution of the lands is idleness and accumulation in camps, towns and cities. In such cases I think it will he found that vice and disease will lend to the extermination or great destruction of the colored race. It cannot be expected Unit the opinion* held by men at the South for years can be changed in a day, and, therefore, the freedinen require for a few years not on? ly laws to protect them, but the fostering carcoftho.se who will give them good counsel and on whom they can rely. The Freedman's Bureau, being separa? ted from the military establishment of the country; requires all the expense of a separate organization. One does not necessarily know what the other is doing, or what orders they are acting under. It seems to me this could be corrected by regnrding every officer on duty with the troops in the Southern states as agents of the Freedman's Bureau, and then have all orders from the head of the bureau sent through the department commanders. This would croate a responsibility that would beget uniformity of action through? out the South, aud would insure the order and instructions fron, the head of the bu? reau being carried out, and would relieve from duty and pay a large number of the employees of the government. I have the honor to be, very respect? fully, your obedient servant. U. S. Gkant, Lieutenant-General. A TitEMEXbOus Eater.?On .1 wager William Laduke, of Vergenncs, Yt., un? dertook to eat in ten hours two pounds of pork steak, four large potatoes, one half a pie, two slices of wheat bread, each one and a quarter inches thick, one quarter of a pound of butter, half a bushel of apples, and to drink two cups of tea. At seven o'clock in the morning he began his task by eating five apples. He then ate one pound of pork steak, two large potatoes, one slice of bread, one quarter of a pie, one eighth pound of butter, and drank one cup of tea. The remainder of the forenoon was spent in walking about and eating apples, of which he had devoured twenty-three at 12 o'clock. At noon he ate one pound of pork steak, two large potatoes, one slice of bread, one-eighth pound of but? ter, and drank two cups of tea. He was then weighed, and found to have gain? ed seven and one-half pounds. For the next three hours he averaged about two appies per hour. At half past 5, p. m., he ate the last apple and won the bet with half an hour to spare. His weight when he began was 145 pounds, showing a gain of eight pounds in nine and one-half hours. Seven and one-half pounds of this he acquired in the first five hours, the last five hours adding only one-half pound to his weight. The half bushel of apples was heapiDg measure, and numbered just sixty-five apples. Laduke is twenty-six years old, five feet seven inches in height, and has never experienced a sick day in his life. He is a thin, spare man, and has always worked out for his living, usually among the farmers. He experienced no unusual difficulty from his square meal, and of? fered to bet five dollars that be could eat another peck of apples the same evening. By the Roadside.?As one walks along the roads in the country, if be is an ob? servant man, he may learn many les? sons of value. The dwellers along the roadsides may not suspect that their characters may be read very plainly by the condition of the road in front of their homes, and the appearance of their sur? roundings. But it is so, and every man has a certificate of character, exhibited at his door, or upon bis fence, for the passersby to read. For instance, just now we may see roadsides white with the wild carrot or other pestiferous weeds. This shows that the owner is err.-less aud thriftless, because he is suffering in? jurious weeds 1.0 multiply, and lay up future trouble for him ; that be is selfish and regardless of what is due to his neighbor, because ho is actually inju? ring the latter's properly by stocking it with weeds, and laying up irouble for him as well as for himself; also that he is not a law-abiding, or at least, that he is a thoughtless citizen, because he ob? serves neither the written law which in nearly every State, obliges every owner or occupier of property to destroy inju? rious weeds upon bis premises ; nor the unwritten law of justice und kindness to his neighbor, which would impel him to "do as he would be done by." So it is with everything about the house, the garden, the yards, barns, stables, and fields. A man's character is set forth by these as plainly us if it were printed in the largest type, and hung up fur public inspection upon his front fence. Ac? tions speak louder than words, and by our works we shall be judged. The moral of this little homily is so plain that nothing further need be said as to its application. Let every man judge himself by it, and not his neighbor. Then some good may re.-ult. And this is the very time when action in this re? gard will be most effective.?Rural Ne\o Yorker. Pleasant Homes.?The homes of America will not become what they should be, until a true idea of life shall become more widely implanted. The chief end of life is to gather gold, and that gold is counted lost which hangs a picture on the wall, which purchases Bowers for the yard, which buys a toy or a book for the eager band of a child. Is this the whole of human life? A child will go forth from u stall, glad to find free air and wider pasture. The influence of such a home on him in after life will be just none at. all, or nothing good. Thousands are rushing from homes liko these every year. They crowd into cities, villages; they swarm into all places where life is clothed with a higher significance; and the old shell of home is deserted by every bird us soon as it can fly. Ancestral homesteads und patrimonial acres have no sacredncss; and when the father and mother die, the stranger's presence obliterates associ? ations that should be among the most sacred of all things. We would have you build up for yourselves and your children a home that will never be light? ly parted with?n home which will be to all whose lives have been associated with it, the most interesting and precious spot on earth. We would have that home the abode of dignity, beauty, grace, love, genial fellowship and happy asso? ciations. Out from such a home we would see ambition taking root, and re? ceiving nil generous culture. And then wc would sec you and your wife happy. Do not deprive yourself of such influ? ences as will come through an institu? tion like this. No money can pay you for such a deprivation.

He claims for this plan decided advan? tage in the coast region, and bases his opinion upon results. The difficulty hitherto experienced by those who have experimented with grafting the peach upon plum has arisen from the fact that the peach is a more rapid grower than the plum, and hence is liable 10 break oil* at the point of junction.

McLANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC or VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. THE countenance is pale and lcadcn colorcd, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pu? pils dilate; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid; the nose is ir? ritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds; a swelling of the upper lip; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears; an unusual secretion of saliva; slimy or furred tongue; breath very foul, particularly in the morning; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stom? ach, at others, entirely gone; fleeting pains in the stomach; occasional nausea and vomiting; violent pains throughout the abdomen; bowels ir? regular, at times costive; stools slimy; not unfrequently tinged with blood; belly swollen and hard; urine turbid; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompanied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive; uneasy and disturbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth; temper variable, but gener? ally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. it does not contain mercury in any form; it is an innocent prepara? tion, not capable of doing the slightest injury to the most tender infant. The genuine Dr. McLane's Ver? mifuge bears the signatures of C. Mc Lane and Fleming Bros, on the wrapper. -:o: DR. C. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS are not recommended as a remedy "for all the ills that flesh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival.

TUE NEW YORK SUN FOB 1870. Tin-: Sum will he printed every nay during tho year to come. Its purpose and method will be the tame a* in the past: To present all the news in a readable shape, and to tell the truth though the heavens fall. Tin: Sl'X has been, Is, and wili continue to be in? dependent of everybody and everything save the Truth and Its own convictions of duty. That it the only policy which an honest newspaper need have. That is the policy which has won for this newspaper the confidence ami friendship of a wider constituency than was ?vor enjoyed by any other American journal. Till SCM is the newspaper of the people. It 1* not lor tin rich man against the poor man, or for the poor man against the rich man, but it seeks to do equal justice to all interests in the community. It is not the organ iif any pcr'-on. class, sect, or pirty. There need be no mystery about its loves and hates. It is for the h',first n an against tho rogues every time. It is for the honest Democrat as against the dishonest Republican, nur. for ih > honest Republican i s against tho dishonest Dem? ocrat. It does not lake its cue fioni the utterances of any politician or political organization. It gives its support unreservedly when men or measures are in agreement with the Constitution and wilh the principles upon which this repuhlio was fouiidisl for the people. Whenever the Con? stitution and constitutional principles are violated -as in the outrageous conspiracy of 1*76, by which a man not elected was placed "in the President's office, where he still remains?it speaks out for the right. That Is Tu it Suit's Idea of Independence. In this respect there rill be no change in its pro? gramme for IST". Till!sum has fairly earned the hearty hatred of rascals, frauds, and humbugs of all sorts and sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in the vear 1S71I than in 1.S7S, 1S77, or any vear gone by. Tint Sum is printed for the men and women otto-day, whose concern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day. it has b lb the disposition and the ability to afford its readers the promptest, fullest and niotl accurate intelligence of whatever in the wide world is worth attention. To ihli end the resources belonging to wetLeatabllshcd prosperity will be liberallv un? loved. TUe present di-j-inted condition of paitics In this country, and the uncertainty of tie future, lend an cxtraotdlnary significance to the events of the coming year. To present with accuracy and clearness the exact situation In each of Its varying phases, and to expound, according to its well known methods, the principles that should guide us through the labyrinth, will be an important part of the TlIK Sun's work for 1S7'.?. Wo have the means of making Tiik Si m, as a political, a literary, and a general newspaper, more entertaining and more useful Ihan ever before; and we mean to apply them freely. nur rates of subscription remain unchanged. For the daily Sum, a four-page sheet of i wont v L'ight columns, the price by mail, postpaid, is 55 i-eiits a month, or S0.50 a year; or including tho Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet of fifty-six columns, the price i- ?5 cents a month, or 1^7.70 a year, postage paid. i'he Sunday edition of The Sum is also furnished separately at SU.'-iO a year, postage paid. The *CNl'ay sum, in addition to the current news, pre? sent* a most entertaining and Instructive iwdy of literary ami miscellaneous matter, in bull: twice as grrsl and in value not inferior to that of the best monthly uiugaziucs of the day, at one-tenth of their cost. The IWltLT Si m is especially adapted for those who do not take a Sew York daily paper. The news of tin- week is fully presented, lit market ro ports arc furnished to the latest moment, and its agricultural department, edited with great care and ability, is unsurpassed. The WeSXLY Sum U probably read to-day by more farmers than any other paper published. A choice story, with other carefully prepared miscellany, appears in each issue. The Weekly protects its readers by barring its advertising columns against frauds and hum? bugs, and furnishes more good matter lor lest money than can be obtained from anv other source. 1 lie price of the WERLY Sum, eight pages, flftv six columns. i?
