MONROE. LA., JULY 4, 1870.
A CHANGE.
VALEDICTORIY.
I have disposed of my undivided
half-interest In this paper. It belonged
to me, and I have a right to sell it. I
thought the name of the paper was my
exclusive property, and was something
not to be sold. My successor thinks
different, and I yield. He has my best
wishes. G. W. MCCRANXE.
July 3, 1879.
SALUTATORY.
I assume charge of the TELEGR.APIH
with a great deal of confidence. My
predecessor leaves me foot-loose. The
paper will be conducted henceforth on
the newspaper plan.
G. W. McCRAuIE.
July 4, 1879.
The Convention by a vote of 84 to 24
decided In favor of Baton Rouge as
the State Capital.
The reader will find a pretty little
piece of poetry on the fourth page,
headed "Taps." The old soldiers whose
lights are out have some friends left.
Col. George W. Carter, who figured
prominently a few years ago in the
politics of this State, is now acting as
the private secretary to Senator Bruce,
colored, of Mississippi.
The Odd Fellows, at their regular
meeting Monday night, elected the
following officers for the ensuing six
months: J. W. Wright, N. G. ; M.
Masterson, V. G.; D. G. Trousdale,
Secretary; J. G. Sanders, Treasurer.
Firemen's Picnic.
The Firemen will not, as stated by
us last week, charter a special train for
their picnic, but will leave on the reg
ular train at 8.35 this (Friday) morn
ing, and will probably return on an
extra train. The fare for the round
trip is only fifty cents; children, half
price. If you wish to spend a pleasant
dlay be certain to attend.
River News.
The river hap reached rock bottom
and is now about stationary, with no
prospect whatever of an early rise.
Cairo reports a 15-inch rise Tuesday,
and there is a slight rise at most other
points on the Mississippi.
The Timmie Baker, after a tedious
voyage of nearly nine days out from
New Orleans, arrived at the bar im
mediately below the city Monday
morning. She grounded on several
sandbars, and sunk a loaded barge near
Logtown, but managed to raise it be
fore any considerable damage was (lone
to the freight. All of her freight was
brought up in barges and the greater
portion of it stored at the elevator. The
balance went to Ouachita City on a
barge.
The John Wilson, as usual, left New
Orleans Wednesday, and will be met
below by the Little Bob, which boat
passed down yesterday.
The boilers of Capt. Jack Blank.'
new sidewheel boat will be 30 instead
of 28 feet long, as stated by us a few
weeks ago. She will be a "rattler."
The Captain was at last accounts in
Cincinnati, but we are sorry to say
feeling unwell.
The Timmio Baker has been pur
chased by a company of Jackson, Miss.,
merchants, who will run her in Pearl
river, between that place and Carthago.
The U. S. man-of-war Wachusctt,
bound for St. Louis, left Vicksburg
Tuesday for that point, andt will pro
ceed as far up as water will permit.
The object of her voyage up the Mis
sissippi is to recruit and train Western
and Southern young men for the Navy.
All young men who are physically'
sound, of good moral character and
possessed of other necessary requisites
are eligible. Those who wish further
information can address the master of
the ship at Vicksburg, Miss.
Capt. J. M. Rabun has gone North
for the purpose, we learn, of contract
ing for a now boat to replace the ill
fated oBertha Brunner.
The Picayune wet-ender gets up a
very readable column, and we foel like
congratulating the fellow.

TIS UN FOR 1879.
The Sun will be printed everyday during
the year to come. Its purpose anQ netho
will be the same as in the p t: to preseont
all the news In a readable hapo, and to toll
the truth though the heavensell.
The Sun has been Is. and will continue
to be independent of evorbdy and every
thing auvo the Truth and ita own conviy
tiona of duty. That is the only policy
which an honest newspaper-need have.
That is the policy which has won tfr this
newspap the confidence and friendship

dents office, where ho satll remains-it
speas out for the right; That laThe Sun'a
idea of independence. In this respect tthere
will be no lchange in its progranme for
1879.
The Sun hmas Ikrly f earned e hearty
hatred of rosrls, frauds, and humbuga o
all sort and sies. It hopes to desMrve th
hatred not less in the yar 1879, than In
1878, 1877, or any y.ear gone by. The Bun
will ontinub to shine on the wicked wie th
unlitigated brightness.
While the lessons of the pt alshould be
conastantly kept before the people. lThe
un does not propose to make tself In 1879
a nmaeaine of anlnt history. It is printed
for the men am woman of to-day, whose
concern is chiefly with the affairs of to-day.
It has both the lisposltion and the abllity
to afford its readero the promptesit, fllest
and most accurate intelliugence or whatever
in the wide word is .wortl attention. To
this end the resources belongkin to well
eatablished proaperity will beliberally en
t present disjointed condition of par
ties in this eountry, and the uncrrta ut
of the future, lend an extraordinary aslig
itlanoe to the events of the coming year.
The diacussionu of the preou, the difbat
and acts of onress, and the movements
of the leaders in every sotion of the Re
public will have a direct bearing on the
Preidential electlon of 1880-- a event
which must be regarded with the moat
anxious interest by every patrlotic Amerl
canu whatever his polltlical ideal or allegi
snue. To these eleuments of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo
crate will control both hounes of Congress
the inureasing ftobleneea of the fiudi lent
administration, and the spread and
strenglthening everywhnere of a healthy
ablhorenc of fraud in Iany form. T
present with accuracy and dlearness the
exact aituatio in oeach of its varyingl
phases, and to expound, aeordlng to its
well-known methods, the princliple that
should guide l ul throlugh the labyrinth,
will be an important part of The Sun's
work for 1879.
