To-morrow we shall give another instalment
of the State Road question, which is left out
this morning on account of the inability of
the reporter to write it out. from his notes in
time for this issue.
We trust that it was an accidental omission
on the part of the Savannah Republican to
copy our special dispatch from New Orleans
without giving us CT.dit for it.
Our con feres at Americas will, doubtless,
feel highly honored at being spoken of as
•'the newspaper scribblers of Georgia" by the
Daily Fence Rider of this city. But then the
mind of the Fence Rider can’t rise above
scribbling.
Next to h aviug the first place, some people
imagine the second the' best The Hebied
insists upon being first always; hence our
special dispatches from St. Louis, Macon,
New Orleans and other points. The Fence
Ruler, satisfied with playing seoond fiddle,
imitates ns next day. Well, a good imitation
is better than a bad original; but it is hard to
say which is best, the Fence Rider's originality
or its imitation.
The Governors’ Excursion.
RESPONSE OF THE MAYORS OP THE CITIES OP
GEORGIA.
We have been furnished by the Committee
of Arrangements for the approaching Con
vention with the following letters from the
Mayors of leading cities of the State, tender
ing their hospitalities, respectively, to the ex
cursion party of Governors, etc., to leave this
city directly after the adjournment of the Con
vention:
SAVANNAH.
Crrr of Savannah, I
Mayor's Office, May 13, 1873. j
Dear Sib: Your communication of the 5th
inst., stating that it was intended by the gen
eral committee to make arrangements for an
excursion of the distinguished gentlemen
about to assemble in convention at Atlanta,
on the 20th inst., to the principal cities of our
State was duly received and laid before Coun
cil at its last meeting. I am instructed by
Council to say that it will afford the authori
ties of the city of Savannah great pleasure to

ors, and also to give them ocular demonstra
tion of the advantages of Savannah as a port
of entry.
For additional information, I have the hon
or to enclose you the resolution adopted at a

Augusta. May 15, 1873.
The Georgia Railroad Convention met to
day, according to adjournment last evening,
and, after the usual preliminaries, proceeded
to an election. The balloting resulted in the
re-election of the old board.
After the election, there being no new busi

MILITARY BALL.
The scenes of mirth and pleasure incident
to the gayest season Augusta ever saw
closes with a grand ball at the Opera House,
conducted under the auspices of the Ogle
thorpe Infantry, who appear in full uni
form.
THE OGLETHORPE INFANTRY.
The enviable reputation of this company
is well known throughout the South. They
made a history amid the carnage of many a
bloody field during the late war, standing
(many falling) in defense of the “storm
cradled nation.” It is one of the favorite
companies of the city, and is commanded by
Captain Wilber force Daniel, an accomplished
soldier.
“NO REST TILL MORN.”
As I write hundreds of the fairest, bravest
and wealthiest of this city are dancing to the
strains of exhilarating melody dispensed by
the Citadel Band of Charleston.
Every one agrees that this is the grandest
ball ever given in this city.
HOSPITALITY.
The citizens of Augusta have excelled any
thing on record in the way of hospitality,
having overwhelmed their thousands of
visitors with kindness, causing them to feel
at home,” and not like strangers in a
strange city.
