DEATH OF COE. WILlIAIt TSOIlltE
WILLIAMS. i'l.u*,: WW
• *= V;,,..-* »>ri!t f-ii
Many of our readers, even in this pity, will
be startled L3' the announcement ofthe death
of Col. WirxiAM Thorne Wmnxa, one of
the oldest and most respected of the'citfesuB
of Savannah. Ho expired, calmly and peace
fully, at half past four yesterday, afternoon, at
his residence on Orleans &mare, in the eighty-
fourth year of his age. Tire death of such a
man deserves a mote 'extended notice than
we .are now able to give. For the present,
the following summary of his life and cliarac-
ter must suffice. - ‘ :
'Col. Williams was bom in Philadelphia,
on the 24th day of June, 1785,. andin 1805
removed to Savannah, •white he constantly
afterwards resided. down to the time of. Bis
decease. - He here engaged in the book trade,
and for a period- of abont half a century was
one of the,most active, successful and honor
able of Savannah' merchant^. "ft*l only since
the beginning of the late war, that increasing
age and the adverse circumstances of the.
Southern country compelled ljim to give up
business.,, , , i;[ , , , , , , ,
“It is difficult to enumerate all the public
trusts, which, during* ar jrrotraeted life, CoL
Williams filled with honor to himself
to the great advantage of the public,
several years, he was. an Alderman of Sa
vannah, and’hewas repeatedly elected Mayor,
in both of which capacities he gave great
satisfaction. He was also .for a long time,
the Colonel of the First Regiment of Geor
gia Militia, and for a number of years, one
of the Justices of the Inferior Court of
Chatham County. In all these relations to
the people of this city and county, his course
was marked by a firm and conscientious
discharge of duty. The same may be said
of him in all the other relations of life,
public and private. He was commoted .with
many of the institutions of the' eit£, arid
for many consecutive years --was a Director
in the Bank of! the State of Georgia, ami
frequently its President pro tempore. To the
cause of education he devoted much of his
time, feeling always a interest in the
training of youth. As a Trustee of Chat
ham Academy, and for many years its ijefc-
retaty" and Treasurer 'And chief executive
officer, his "administration wiis" liberal und
highly beneficial to the cause of public in
struction. VMhiif
In social as well as mercantile life, CoL

Williams was a man: of mark, ; Truly a re
fined aud cultiihted gentleman, his associates
in earlier and in more mature life were oltliat
class"which gave to Savannah some; of its
greatest attractions. • “ Some’ of them remain
with us to this day, but others are fallen asleep-
It is indeed sad to think how nearly that gen
eration of men has. passed,-aiway. Of the
associates to whom wo refer, hbwfew remain!
Where are" Berrien, and Gaston,-and .CoL
"iAMEs Mabshali* and R. W.'.HAbersham, and
Read, and W. B. Bulloch, and Davies, and
Sohlity; and James Hunter, and Wayne, and
QuYiiat,and PooiER, and: a host of others,
the recollection of whose names, recalls a
thousand memories (rf their day! Of CoL
Williams’ early and intimate associates we
dan recount but two or thLee mirvivore.
* -"For'some years, Col. Williams had suffered
much from an affection of the chest, which
occasionally disabled him' froiO attending to

.ness was sudden and severe;; Dut his mind;

profession, but in poll
very early age, he was; Mi
oral of the Western Circuit which position he
gave Tip to take n seat in OongfeSs as Stepra*
sehtatiye of the Sixth Congressional District
It is unnecessary to say that he at once took
rank with the distinguished statesmen of the
nation. At a most critical period in her his
tory, Mr. Coitfi was elected Speaker - of the
House over an opposition that no other man
of his political tenets coijld have breasted.
Whilst a- member of Congress, he was. run
for Governor and triumphantly elected-over
one of the inost populat men in the State.
■Retiring after his term of two years, he was
again sent to Congress from his old District,
and was thence transferred, in 1857, to a seat
in President Buchanan’s Cabinet, as Secretary
of! the; Treasury. AA Speaker of the House,
his fame was high, and, as a member of the
Cabinet, it suffered no diminution. Unlike
mpst public men who rise to eminence, Mr.
Cobb suffered little from ungenerous rivalty.
His friends delighted to honor him, and his
enemies,, of whom there were very few, were
compelled to admit his ability and bis'fitness
fair high position. Of his noble bearing in
the' late unhappy war, it is needless to say
much. He had beeii instinctively a lover of
the Union, but his generous nature recoiled
at what he considered an attempt to despoil
the South. With the same generosity, when
the fortune of war decided the contest ad-,
verselv, he sheathed his sword gracefully and
stood ready to abide the result. His Only
brother, the gifted Gen. T. R. R. Oobb, had
fallen iu the struggle; and we believe there
was no time when Howell Cobb would npt,
have cheerfully yielded up his own life in be
half of an honorable and permanent adjust
ment between the North and the South.
At the. close of the war Mr. Cobb resumed
the practice of law, in co-partnership with the
Hon. James Jackson, and settled at Macon.
He at once entered into a lucrative practice,
and Was, as in other days, still the idol of his
friends, devoting his time to private pursuits,,
and, from motives of delicacy and not lack
of sympathy for the wrongs of the South,
taking little part in politics. It appears by '
another dispatch., this -morning published,
that he died without any premonitory sick
ness. He leaves » widow and several chil
dren—some of thfem grown—to lament his
sad demise. In this afiliction the whole
country will sympathize with them.
This very imperfect tribute to Mr. Cobb’s
memory will, we trust, be succeeded by a
more extended notice from soipe pen that can
do full justice to the life and character of How-

'THE PROSPECT BRIGHTEN!.VO.
The Radicals made a “great to-jdo”, oyer
what they called the glorious result iniMaiue,
(claiming it as a sure augury of the success of
itheir ticket 1 in November. The official re-
) turns were, suppressed for some time, but as
thD truth haa gradually come.out, it ai>pears
that instead of a victory they really sustained
n defeat in Maine—instead of increasing
their majority, their vote was alarmingly di
minished. The New York Tribune is not at
all encouraged by the result in Maine. It
says:
1 “If onr vote • Should full of ■ like that of
Maine—eight per cent, of the total. vote of
186(1—we would lose New York l>y 43,718 ma
jority. ..We therefore must do six per cent
better than Maine, compared with 1866, or
we lose the State.
It would require even a less falling off from
the Radical vote in the States of Pennsylva
nia, Ohio, flnd lndiana to give these States to
Seymoub and ‘ Blair by handsome majorities.
From all of these States we have the most en
couraging assurances that the Deuqctats are
prosecuting the canvass vigorously in the full
" confidence of certain triumph in the elections
Tuesday next, which will ensure the success
of their electoral tickets in November. So far
as the Keystone State is concerned, it is con
ceded that the indications of Democratic suc
cess are most encouraging. A prominent
Democrat of Philadelphia writes to his friend;
in Washington:
- ‘i,There it^no end to the meetings held in
the city, and the greatest enthusiasm prevails.
We calculate on carrying the State by ten or
fifteen thousand, and the city by five or six
thousand. The Radicals Are straining every
point, even taring policemen $30 out of their
small monthly salaries, and colonizing where-
ever they can. 1 We are watching them, aud
have them marked.” - _■»
The Philadelphia Aye, aremafkably teihper-
ate and reliable Democratic paper, confidently
claims both the city and State for the Dernoc
racy by handsome majorities, and we are
assured by the Washington Erpress that “a
prominent Republican paper man,” (Fobney,
we suspect) recently returned from the Sol
diers' Convention, gives the city to the Dem-
ocracy by,4,000 majority. , tJ _ '. , ii( .
Within the.past ten days the prospects of the
Democracy have greatly improved through-
out’the North and West, and gentlemen who
have returned from Ne\y York within tho
week, assure ns that the Democrats are much
more encoumged—the timid more hopeful,
and the sanguine more confident—than they
have been since the opening of' the canvass.
If is equally evident that the Radicals, Vvho
relied so confidently upon the power which
they! wield through Congress, and upon the
prestige of Gen Grant’s name, are begin
ning to become alarmed at tie evidences
which meet them*on every side of the great
reaction which is going on in the popular
‘mind. They con no longer , shut their, eyes
to the fact that, with the immense accumula
tion of the' public debt, the developments of
corruption and robbery in the management
of public affairs,, the peril of national bank
ruptcy, And the rapid- tendency towards
anarchy and militaiy despotism, the people
are becoming alarmed, and that they are re-
solved upou a change of rulers, and to bring
the Government back to its original land
marks; that they are determined not only
that the Union shall be reconstructed but
ih$t the Constitution shall be restored.
-When, the] people .ibegiii jio.reasop, it is
time for usurpers and tyrants to fear.

General .Gramm’s Longeit Speech.,
A foreigner—a correspondent of thp /mfe-
peiulerice Beige—recently paid a visit to Gen
eral Grant, at Galena. During the inteihrieir,
some one alluded to politics, when “ the Gen.
eral replied with-animation
“The Southerners are passionate and lose
out of sight their own interests in serving the
Northern Copperheads, who will laogh at
them when their aid is no longer required. It is
absolutely necessary to give political possiona
sufficient time to pass away ; the young gen
eration eomprehendsits duties and interests
better. A new war is impossible, and as to a
war of races ‘I do not believie in it The
Southern negroes are not- so reckless nor so
determined as those in St Domingo, and if
ever the whites should take the initiative in
snch a conflict the Federal army would soon
put a stop to it The pacification of the
country will come by and by, and whatever
occurs, the North, Lrhich has abolished slave
ry, decreed the political-and social equality
of the blacks and whites; and opened the
Sonth, hitherto closed to emigration, is al
ways ready to go to war; if unfortunately cir
cumstances should demand it Jealous of. its
work, the world will never permit ft to be im
pel illed by any factious doings. ” -i i l-
The General should bekr in mind, remarks
the ltichinond Whig, that if the Southerners
do lose sight of their true interests in serving
the Copperheads, they are - the only people at
the North whoprofess any sympathy for them
and avow the wish to save them from the
threatened African domination. The Gen
eral himself intimateB in this speech that he
would employ the sword to enforce “ the de
creed political,,and social equality ofthe
blacks and whites;” , which implies the ex
tent of his affection for the South.
The Oregon Legislature has passed reso
lutions censuring the Senators from that
State, 'Williams and Corbett, charging them
with misrepresenting, the people of Oregon,
and requesting them to resign- . These Sena
tors are Radicals, who have supported all the
extreme measures of the present Congress.

The carpet-bag Attorney General of Louis

at Cooper Institute, New ' York city, -last
Wednesday evening. Gen., Kiereaw spoke
next, and the reporter of the New Yprk Tri

not probably oper a dozen nativy^ white Republi
cans in that State, but he was happy to say that
the bUicles, who had uiMy fought for ike Govern
mentduriiuj the' war, were ready to aid it again
by their ballots.’'
Here is a direct acknowledgment that Lou
isiana is in the hands of negroes, and that
with the exception of the carpet-baggers,
there are not a .dozen white Republicans in
the State!
The New York Express says that there are
. two reflections for Northern men to make on
this.
1st. How can “Peace" exist in a State thus
governed? Is “Peace” possible, except the
PeaceTacitus described centuries ago—first,
desolation, and then the Peace enforced by
thousands of armed men? ■ . i , l .

LIONS
. No
last was greater,
riity^ig^jrliUibip,;
to^ on tke
fore the closeqjT the war, the subsequent rate
of increase exceeding four, millions of dollars
a month;: hr hearty fifty millions of dollars a
year. But thbreare reenlte stilLmore alarm
ing. Thedebt is greater by over thirty-five
millions of dollars than it was on the 1st of
Stay last, •
. . . ($35,085,486.) , ,
1 On this basis the yearly rate of increase of
the debt would be over one hundred and five
mfllibip) of dollars,
, : :/ : ; (»iop,a56,458.)
If to this iwimI rate of increase we add. in
terest at the rate of six per cent a year, com
pounded annualty for twenty years, the debt,
■instead of being paid, would be more than doubted
and would largely .exceed *tve thousand mil-
ins of dollars,
!ow, Ict us look at the irumihly increase of
thb debt fqr the laat four months, (this in
crease was at a rate largely exceeding eight
minions of dollars a month, ($8,771,371)
but !the increase in the month, of August last
Was.over twelve millions of dollars, (12,078,_
832) being a rate ofincrease largely exceeding
one hundred and forty-four millions a year.
! ($144,958,984.)
It must be remembered, also, that this last
increase of debt is during the great quarter
when the average rate of revenue from im
ports exceeds about onp-Hird the rate for the
fiscal year. Suppose the debt to increase at
the rate of one hundred and forty-five millions
of dollars, adding to this interest compounded at
Vie rate of sixper cent, per annum, and the debt
would be doubted in about fourteen years, tony
r orescteich tde would ■have passed into banlc-
tpfey. Indeed, from the intolerable burden
of taxation, arsing from such an annual in
crease of the debt, we should reach national
bankruptcy in the Congressional election of
1870. And yet it is the' Radical party Which
accuses its opponents of repudiation, whilst
its own-course of enormous war expenditures in
lime of peace makes national bankruptcy inev
itable. Indeed it ia ohly a vast decrease of
taxation and expenditures which can save us
from the disaster. But this reduction can
never come from
-_. T7 __„, which in-
sifite on the continuance of a large standing
army, to subject the whites' of the South, by
fared, to negro governments aud negro' su
premacy.
Wa hate seen the i rapid increase of too
public debt, not ■ only since toe peace, but
within the last four months. But this table
exhibits a still more alarming fact. It is,
that whilst the debt bearing interest in cur
rency had decreased on the 31st August hurt
$628,940,728 from toe 31st March, 1865, the
debt bearing interest in coin had nidrhj
douUed, having increased on the 31st August
last nearly one- thousand millions of dollars
($996,130,508)
since toe 31st Mareh, 1865. Thus, on toe
30th, April, 1865, toe annual interest payable
)n coin was only $63,978,412, whilst on the
31st August last this annual coin interest bad
reached
$133,573,691,
the increase of annual coin interest being
nearly sixty millions of dollars,
($59,595,909;)
or, converting this sum into currency of that
date,
$87,009,005.
Now, the total annual interest in coin and
currency, as shown by toe table, was
- ! $103,836,531, -
on 31st of March, 1865, and $127,948,611 on
the 31st of August last, showing an increase
in. toe annual interest, payable iu coin and
currency, on the 31st,of August last, of
$95,119,080.
Bnt this, as shown by toe table, is not toe
only real increase. Thus we have seen that,
whilst on the 30th of April, 1865, the annual
currency interest was $45,127,936, it had
follen on the 31st of August last to $4,374,990,
whilst toe annual coin interest had increased
nearly sixty millions of dollars.
The account would then stand thus:

The Peruvian Government is doing evety

ably reach 20,000. Some change iofo taken
place on toe sea coast of Peru in consequence
of the earthquake- The depto of water off
the 'head-land of Santana, near delict has
been decreased froiu six to seven fotboms.

Increased Interest, 31st Aug., 1868....!... $16,056,559
| [Thus we see that since toe close of toe
war (30th April,, 1865.) too annual interest of
the public debt-hah increased upwards of forty
six millions Of dollars: This increased annual
interest would represent a principal sum ex
ceeding seven hundred and fifty millions of. dol
lars. ~ ••>••.)!
Wo repeat, then, it is clear that the Rad
ioed policy renders national bankruptcy inev
itable. That policy regards the rebellion as
unsubdued, the Stales as conquered provinces,
still ready fpr war, and the whites to be kept
in subjection by negro governments, sus
tained by standing armies costing more every
year than 1 ,those of France or England, and
with much heavier taxation. The Democratic
party proposes a different policy. It regards
secession and slavery forever settled by toe
wan -and by the subsequent action of toe
Southern States jh 1 constitutional contention
assembled. It: would repeal the Freedmen’s
-Bureau,' disband the standing army, reduoe it
a peace establishment, and leave -the
themselves, ini
Southern States to. gov
subordination to toe Federal Constitution. It
is clear, then, that toe expenditures can only
be! reduced by' a change of men and mea
sures, ami that 1 change can only come from
■the overthrow of toe Radical party, add
policy. For three years and a half not a
Confederate soldier has been in toe field, nor
an arm raised against 1 too Federal Govern
ment, yet the Radical party during,jaffi this
period, 1 Has' Igiven ns war measures and war

. desire to say to the citizens of Savannah that
such reports are Dpt true, and are Only done
to rtfin my character, in this city. The action
taken by me whs done freely, and whenever I
visited a county 4 paid my own expenses. I
therefore defy any person to say that Iihave

Savaiinab, June i, 1808. j
Tlie Savannah Gas Light Company, wishing to sup
ply Gas to its patrons on as clipap terms as may be
consistent with a fair return for the capital and labor
applied in its manufacture, and believing that the ac-
: tive business \vliich iqay lie reasonably expected du
ring the coming winter in fhi a city, wUl cause an in
creased demand ; and further, tliat a diminution in
price will iuducp many to burn Gas that have hitherto
had recourse to other means of illumination, which
ore more dangerous and less eleaulyaud convenient;
and that the consequent increase will lessen the copl o
manufacture, and thus justify the Company iu making, j
a reduction in price. ; 1
Therefore, it has been determined, that from and
after the FIRST OF NOVEMBER nwet, consumers
will be supplied at the Tate of
FIVE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS' PER THOU
SAND CUBIC FEET, '
and that a further reduction of Fifty Cents per Thou
