But, next week I will tell all about Prattville. After dinner we went back to the river, end the ride was less joyous than that of the morning. We again boarded the his-h-headed Mary, as the lenient Dick English, of the Selma Times, used to call that niaguincent cratt, and began the return "voyage" to Montgomery.

Immediately after leaving Washington, the Association was called to order for the purpose electing officers for the coming vear. 1 Below is the result of the tied interests made up' the State of Some little demagogue wiA prate about Souta!

Ths 8 dm of 1808 was a mewpaper of a new kind. It discarded many of the iorms, and a multitude of the supernouB words and phrases of ancient journalism. It undertook to report iu a fresh, succinct, unconventional way all the neWB of the world, omittinz no event of human ana comineutmg upon aaairs witu tue fearlessness of absolute independence. The success of this experiment was the success of The Son. It effected a permanent change in the style of American newspapers.

Every important journal established in this country in the dozen years past has been modelled after The Son, Every important Ijouraal already existing has been modified and bettered by the force of Tbe Soil's example. The Bon of lttt will be the same outspoken, truth-telling, and interesting newspaper. By a liberal use of the means which an abundant prosperity affords; we shall make it better than ever before. We shall print all the news, putting it into readable shape, and measuring its importance not by the traditional yardstick, but by ita real Merest to the people. Distance from Printing House Square ia not the first consideration with The Sun.

Whenever anvthintr hamietm worth reporting we get the particulars, whether it happens in Brooklyn or Bokhara. In polities we have decided opinions and are accustomed to express tlieni in language that can be understood. We say what we think about men and events That habit is the only secret of Thb Sun's political Gourde. iats vveexiy aun gamers into eignt pages the best matter of tne seven daily issues.

permit matters to take their urse. For myself, I doubt not that will go in virtually witnout opposition. Since Col. Oates' election for tbe nreaent term, be has been well oc cupied in looking np evidence and preparing pleadings to meet lue infamous cunning of radical deviltry which seeks to oust bim, and that now nearly a ycar-and-a-half after his election, bis title is still imperfect and his tenure uncertain. Let us send him again, and let us- do so by a majority so abundant and overwhelming that the veriest uevil of them all may not dispute it, and tbat his constituents may uninter ruptedly for two years at least, have the benefit of his great talent and tireless industry.

Those of us who actively mingle in politics have near us a subject well calculated to enlist all our energr. Our close neigh bor and distinguished friend, J. M. McKleroy, is a can- didaU for Governor. He embodies, in his person all those charms of tho faithfull soldier and patriot I citizen that warms toward him the! sonl of every true hearted man.

He is eminentlv wnrthv and sneciallv I fitted to brightly adorn the high office to which be aspires. He opposes in bis race no one bound to us by tbe ties of neighborhood or tbe bonds of tradition and by vhtue of his close and intimate comradeship with every young man in this section who touched elbows in the struggle with 1 Keils and bis vandals, he bas a right to expect their entire devotion' to his interest in the coming strugle. Let us render to. him a faithful. and industrious service, and while expressing choice as to candidates for other positions, let us do no act, let us form no entanglement that can possibly be distorted to his injury, and if need be, let us turn a deaf ear to all ether candidates for all other positions, and work with an eye single to the accomplishment of Mr.

McKleroy's nomination. J. H. G. Martin.

Eufaula, April 21st, 1882. The Stock Law. Editob Times News If you will allow me a small si ace in your paper, I would like to say a word or two on the above subject. This Uw which has been, passed at the instance of a few individuals, and they mostly men of wealth, is not only a most disastrous measure, but one that is giving a great deal of trouble and dissatisfaction all over the district in which it is attempted to be enforced. It is decidedly premature and uncalled for in Barbour county.

There may be some sections of the country where it may be advantageous but this is not one of them. There is still enough timber to keep up the old fences, with but little trouble and expenses. It is a law purely in the interest of the rich man and greatly agai.istthe poor. The one has means at com mand and dan build fences and en close his stock, while the other can not, consequently he must giveaway or sell at a sacrifice what little stock he may have, or else he must put it up in some small space to starve 10 death, or give it to some one who may take it np in payment of damages. This last has already been done in a few instances, and will be done in many before the year is out.

There are many reasons why this law should never have been created and why it should be repealed too plain to mention here, but mainly on ac count of the suffering and incon venience caused to the poor people of the county, or that part which the law embraces. 1 here is plenty ot lana lying out unused and Lot needed for cultivation that has given pastnrage to the poor as well as tbe rich man's stock heretofore and why not let it continue No one needs tbe land and it will do no good any otb way. The grass cannot be utilized in any other way, or at least very little of it. Now I say let this law be repealed, as soon as possible by the next Legislature; and let the people run a candidate on that issue for the next representative. I have made tbese few remarks principally to induce some one who can wield the pen of influence and repeal to place tne subject before tne people and see what can be done to rectify this public calamity.

Respectfully, Two Good Papers for Price of One. As the coming political campaign in this State promises to be unusually interesting, the people at large should De tuny posted in all matters of gen eral and local importance. We have made arrangements by which the Eufaola Tinas and Nsws and tbe Montoomrbt Wbskly Ad- vBftTisBB will be furnished subscri bers for $3,25 per year. This is cer tainly cheap enough to bring the two papers in the reach of all who desire to know what is going on in the State snd country at large. The pries for both papers is no mors than was charged for one singly few years ago THE NEW' POSTAL ORDER The first Assistant Postmaster General bas recently made tbe fol lowing postal order i "Postmasters will not allow non-iubsaribers to take from the boxes, nor will they band them newspapers addressed to subscribers, refolded and returned to them into the general delivery, without i verbal or written permit fom suoli subscriber.

Mr. Euitob Permit me through your yalued paper, to thank the quite partial friends who have recently, in your columns made me the object of most flattering notice- While I have at present no ambition beyond that of an humble toiler in tne ranics or me great white man party of the country, am not entirely free from tho weak nesses and vanities of the world, and find it none the less pleasant and agreeable to be the subject of snch complimentary attention.

I bee to assure you and these friends, that I deeply grateful for their deeply grateful for their warm manifestations. I cannot be a cans didate for Congress, chiefly for the reason that such a course would ne in conflict with my honest convictions. I have ever made it the political study of my life that these convictions should be unselfish. I have ever held, that when a man only views the political machinery of the conn-try from a personal standpoint, and only watches the changes of the times and the disposition of the parties with a sole view to his own advancement, and who in the absence of any general uprising in his fay or seeks, by constant letter writing and persistent supplication, to thrust him wraPs of low cemagoguery and brazen cupidity. I could not, Mr.

Editor, be such a can didate. In the next place, I am greatly impressed with the fact that our present gallant and able incumbent, the Hon. Wm. Oaten, of Henry, is entirely competent to serve us that he is politically worthy in all respects, and beyond this, that the highest end, the public good will be greatly subserved by his return to Congress. It is scarcely worth while to repeat, that by bis distinguished service, both in war and in peace, he bas illustrated those high accomplish- rpents which should endear him to all liberty loving people.

He mav have had his faults, who has not If he has, and you put them in the balance to weigh, will not his shed blood, bis buried arm, and bis four best years of a glorious ycung manhood, spent in renowned and brilliant service for his country balance aught Or was this war ot which wo so dom hear in tbese latter days, except in the insults of our foes, and as we are called upon in nearly every article ot consumption to contribute our targe share to tbe hundred mil lions which a dominant party is pour, ing into the greedy pockets of the ruttian multitude who subjugated us wag it, on our part, a mere idle sen timent 'i A foolish experiment which should be buried in tbe past and remembered no more? Was Stonewall Jackson a red handed murderer, and Kobert m. Jjee a traitor Are our people preparing to endorse the de claratiou made by a Republican Con gressman on the floor of the House last week, that the only right ac quired by rebels iu the late war was to have their property confiscated and themselves hung." While honors without stint, and pensions un limited, are being recklessly heaped npon our successful adversaries- will you permit tbe sacred dust of thous ands ot your trigbtest flowers and bravest chivalry to be handed down to posterity in dishonor, or to pass a nay into utter oblivion, and while not rich enough to lend a helping hand to their impoverished families, will yet be mean enough to deny them the poor boon of a sweet sympathy and a grateful recollection It was but a few years aback when a fluent tongue would recount the hero ic deeds of our gallant soldiery to a public ear, and tell of their unfaltering devotion to a country's cause how poor and mangled creatures would calmly die in lonely fields, un-ministered by woman, uncomforted by love; how, for long, agonizing years, in weariness of body but in strength of soul, half clad, half fed, they, barefooted, trod by nigh the icy mountains of Virginia and Tennessee, and by day they broke the ice to lord tbe freezing riveis of tbe valleys, and in terribly uneven com bats, to grapple with death at tbe cannon's mouth in the uncertain and never to be accomplished hope, that you and and these people might be free. But a little while agono when one would bear this terrible, and true story, 'a holy light would illumine his eye, a grand sentiment of patriotic glory would throb in every vein, and as bis true breast swelled with incomparable pride, he reverently thanked ttod that these heroes were his oountrrmen. We all had once this heavenly sentiment. is it now Has it been swept away forever as morning dew by the summer's sun Has it given place to selfish greed, to unholy ambition and never ending strife, or has the political calm of the past few years merely obscured it as with October leaves, to be cleared away by the nrsigusc 01 wind tbat strikes its hiding place, and come back to purified and refreshed, to glow in our bosoms and to warm up our souls until time shall be no more For our own sakes, for tbe honor of our illus trious dead, and in justice to ths gal lant living; heaven grant that we may be so blessed again.

of the Clayton Courier, delivered the an nual oration which was happily con ceived, nnely worded and well de livered. Mr, Thomas did himself great credit and was loudly cheered by all present. His speech was or dered incorporated in the minutes of tne meetings, Thursday evening Maj W. W. borews gave the visitors a fraud reception at McDonald's Opera ouse, which was sttended by the flower of Montgomery's womanhood and the Knights of her manhood.

The affair was a splendid success and was enjoyed to the utmost: The large crowd did not disperse nntil a late hour, or rather early hour for it was in the "wee sin a hours ayontthe twal" when the happy young people wended their way homeward. Friday morning the party, accompanied by quite a number from Montgomery, boarded the elegant steamer Mary for Washington landing, from which were taken to the- manufacturing town ot Pratt-ville, the pride and boat of Ala bama. Col. Doster, representing the people pf Prat tri lie, extended a warm welcome the visitors, which was replied to by President Screws in a neat and forcible manner. Gov.

Cobb, who was on ths platform, be ing loudly called for stepped lor ward and made one of those happy little speeches full of sound sense, for which bs is so well known. Then began the sight-seeing, Alas 1 that I most defer until another time the record of thooe doubly pleasant hours spent at Frattville.

We are, glad to see uch a well balanced and ably ondOc 1 ted journal as the Gadsden Thnes speaking out against this absurd sec The Times says This sectional feeling was the creature of a set of demagogues that in the time past: had no capacity to reoommend them to office, and were forced to resort to sectional prejudice to succeed. s' This sectional feeling is now only formed and advocated by small men, as know their only hope for success is not from merit, but alone on some, intrinsic matter. A i i "An, officer, of the, State is pre sumed to represent every section of the State, oome Irom what quarter ne may. His honor as a man, his oath of office, require this of him. The demagogue alone would violate these sacred obligations.

1 If they are com. petent and will protect the interests of the State the people would not care if every State office was filled bv brothers from the game roof, liv ir.cr in the same neighborhood. It is the whole State that honest and patriotic men desire to, benefit, and not a mere Section." Well said and we commend the sentiment to those demagogues who will deceive the dear people for the privilege serving them." It is high time for this sectional nonsense to stop. Those who make use of it as an argument for some fav. orite, work injury to the cause they represent.

The people know no sec tions, and the politicians must learn a little sense before they try to be come teachers. A Big Move. The railroad system in this country is about to become the field of the biggest combination, perhaps, ever made. If reports be true, the great Erlanger Syndicate of the South and the Varide'bilt system of the North will unite at an early day, forming a combination by the side of which the ambitious Louisville Nashville will appear very much like a side-track. One has bnt to glance at the 'strength of the Erlausers and Yanderbilt to see that a consolidation of their in' terests will form 6 gigantic corpora tion "of immense power.

Wo. H. Yanderbilt, the-great rival of the great Gould, controls railroad pro perty to the value of several hundred millions of dollars, while the cash capital of the Erlangera is put down at twenty five millions. In the event of the consolidation of the two corporations there will be something like seven thousand miles of road under one management. Or dinary mortals fail to conceive the nuneuse influence that such a anion would wield.

State legislatures and Congresses can be bought up by the immense resources of the new syndi cate like peanuts on circus day. Such union ot giants may reasonably be regarded with some degree of alarm.1 True, the fight between the pepple and monopolies is nothing new, bnt tnis latest move ot tne en' emy is of a nature as to take one breath away.
