Yesterday there was a sort ot a boom on

It will be remembered that the Nor

when off Cape Hatteras, the tug became
disabled and could not proceed with the
bark to her destination. There being a
fair wind, the Captain of the bark decided
to proceed under sail, and at the same
time offered to tow the tug, but the
offer was refused, and the tug was taken
into Norfolk for repairs. The bark has
not arrived at her destination as yet. Ihe
fireman of the tug arrived here yesterday
from Norfolk and reported the matter. It
was rather au odd move for a disabled
sailing vessel, after half the voyage had
been sailed, to have to tow the tug.

SATURN IN THE SEPTEMBER SKY.

Saturn is morning star, and outranks

beautiful object in the sky during almost
the entire night, but he is also approach
ing the earth under favorable conditions
seldom surpassed in his long career. On
Sept. 16, at 10 o'clock in the morning, he
is quadrature with the 6un ou his
western side. He is then ninety
degrees distant from the sun. at w hat may
be called the half way house between
conjunction and opposition, and is in a
tine position for observation both with
ihe naked eye and the telescope. He is
•llso conveniently situated for this pur
pose, rising now at 11:30 o’clock in the
evening and, at the end of the month,
making his appearance at 9:30 o’clock.
He reigns alone for a while, but his short

THE MILITARY AT WORK.
ORGANIZING TO ADVANCE ITS
INTERESTS.
The Mas* Meeting at Masonic Hall
Last Night—Georgia Volunteer* Post
No. 1 Established—A Provisional Con
stitution Adopted—What It Provide*—
The Movement Throughout the State.
In the military mass meeting at Ma
sonic Hall last night the initial step*
were taken in a movement which it is be
lieved will result in securing important
legislation in behalf of the interests of the
volunteer military of the entire State.
The movement was started sometime ago.
A meeting of the commissioned officers
of the First Volunteer Regiment, the Sa
vannah Volunteer Guards Battalion, the
Chatham Artillery and the Georgia Hus
sars was held last week to consider the pro
priety of an organization of the military
of Savannah into a post, with a view to
entering into correspondence with other
military organizations of the State, and
securing a concert of action and measures
whereby beneficial legislation might be
obtained.
It was deemed advisable that a com
plete State organization should be effect
ed as soon as possible. To further this an
organization of the Savannah military
was believed to be the first
move. A committee was appointed to
report a plan of organization. A subse
quent meeting was held and the commit
tee completed its work. At this meeting
letters were read from the commandants
of military in other parts ot the State
pledging a co-operation in the movement,
and suggesting the propriety of calling a
State convention of the military to con
sider its interests and devise means for
its advancement.
The meeting last night was a mass
meeting of the officers and members ol
the volunteer organizations of the city.
The hall was well tilled.
COL. ANDICRSOX’S ADDRESS.
Upon motion of Lieut. Col. Garrard.
Col. C. \V. Anderson was called to the
Chair. Col. Anderson thanked the as
semblage for the honor it conferred upon
him, and. in taking the Chair, explained
the object of the meeting, and
placed before it the purposes
sought to be accomplished, and which
had been discussed by the commissioned
officers in the r deliberations. The meet
ing, he said, was not a political meeting,
nor was it called in the interest ot any
individual. The most conservative ele
ment of the commonwealth should never
be dragged into the mire of politics. He
quoted the expression of Gen. Lawton,
the former commander of the First
Regiment, in his address before
the State Bar Association, and
by it expressed his contempt for the offi
cer or man who would use his influence
or position in the military “as a spring
board from which to leap into political of
fice.” But the time has come, he said,
for the volunteer soldiery to demand rec
ognition from the State. “As soon as
there is the slightest disturbance of the
peace we are met with kid gloves and
courteously and cordially invited by the
State authorities to make a target
of ourselves, and as soon as the emergen
cy has passed, the lawmakers of the
great State snub us and sneer at their
citizen volunteers with their “fancy uni
forms, uress parades, holiday displays,
and fuss and feathers generally.” It is
hard to sav it, but it is nevertheless a
fact that Georgia, our grand old com
monwealth, who has always been
true to herself, who has never
been false to others, whose principles
have always been fearlessly and can
didly proclaimed, whose actions have ever
been characterized by wisdom, justice,
and moderation, who h..s always been
faithful to all the obligations she has ever
assumed, who has won a pre-eminence of
glorv and renown unsurpassed in the an
nals’of this country, who has ever trav
eled the path blazed by honor and duty—
Georgia, the grand old Keystone State of
the South, is," by her action, crushing out
the military spirit, and with it the man
hood of her sons.
gkorgia’s necessities.
•■How different is it in the great empire
State of the North. Seven years ago,
when red-handed communism was hold
ing high carnival in the North, East and
West, and a howling mob was laying
waste the great State of Pennsylvania, in
New York, w ith a worse element to con
tend with, not a dollar’s worth of prop
erty was destroyed, not a gun was tired off
or a lite lost. Why was this difference
in these two great States? Pennsylvania
did nothing fr her volunteer force, did
not recognize the importance of fostering
its military organizations. New York
was annually appropriating from $350,000
to $500,000 for the maintenance of her
volunteers, and at that time she had 20,000
well equipped soldiers under her control,
marching under her flag and obedient to
her orders.
"At that time, in one place alone in
Pennsylvania, there was $1,500,000 worth
of property destroyed by the mob. The
State authorities were "compelled to hu
miliate themselves by invoking the as
sistance of the General Government, in
consequence of her small and inefficient
fo.ee. What was the result of this? To
day Pennsylvania is the most generous
State in the Union to her volunteer force,
and has the best equipped volunteer sol
diery in the country. Can it be possible
that Georgia is waiting for a repetition of
the fearful scenes—the tremendous loss of
property and life like that at Pittsburg—
to arouse it to its duty and sense of jus
tice to its volunteers? " We are not asking
for any large amount of money. We
simply want to be equipped and recog
nized.
"With the public credit equaling that of
the national government, the State secu
rities equal in value to auy in the com
mercial world, the floating debt almost
swept awav, yet Georgia is the only State
in the country that cannot afford to appro
priate a dollar for the maintenance of her
volunteer forces, the ‘palladium of its se
curity.’
POSTER THE VOLUNTEERS.
“The gallant little State of South Caro
lina. debt-ridden as she is, yearly makes
an appropriation for her volunteers,
has a well-organized military bureau
with a salaried Adjutant General, and in
addition to this some years since made a
special appropriationfor the military of
Charleston. Our volunteer force to be
effective must be fostered by the State,
tor whose protection we are organized.
We always respond promptly to any and
every call of our State, whenever our aid
is invoked to vindicate her honor, pre
serve her peace or maintain her dignity,
even if it involves the sacrifice of our
lives, and I trust and believe, fellow
soldiers, that the result of the meeting
will cause the volunteer force of Georgia,
from the mountains to the seaboard, to
join in its movement.”
Col. Anderson concluded by referring
to tte encouragement he had received
from the military in other sections of the
State. The Governor placed himself on
record in Savannah last spring as to the
importance to the State of her volunteer
military organizations. Col. Anderson
has for thirteen years been faithfully at
work in the interests of State military, in
the State Military Board, of which he was
a member under Gov. Smith's administra
t on, in the military convention at Rome
live ’years ago, and in season and out of
season he has been au advocate of its ad
vancement and the promotion of its effici
ency.
. ORGANIZING THE MOVEMENT.
The meeting then completed its organi
zation, and upon motion of Capt. W. W.
Gordon, Lieut. Johu W. Wilson waselect
edSecretary. The minutes of the meetings
held by the commissioned officers were
then read. „ ,
Col. Garrard was called upon tor the
report of the committe on organiza
tion. The time had come, he said,
when Georgia should promote more thor
ouchly aud with greater zeal than it has
before the interests of its volunteer sol
diery. The General Assembly, he under
stood, was fully empowered by the consti
tution to train, uniform, equip and main
tain the military of the State. With that
power it had done nothing. It allowed
the organization of regiments and battal
ions, but there it stopped. It had been
said by the Legislature that the State
could not make donations and
it wa, evident that nothing
could be accomplished for the promotion
of military efficiency without a concert of
action. The commissioned officers of the
organizations represented In the meeting
had taken this step.
Col. Garrard then read the report of the
committee recommending an organization
of the military of the city and sueh other
commands as "might be admitted, into a
bodv to be known as “Geor
gia Volunteers, Post No. k” and submit
ted a provisional constitution, stating the
purposes of the organization, the first of
which was the establishment of
military efficiency, the creation of union
between its component commands for
wise public ends, the preservation of the
peace and security of the State and the
welfare of its people, and the cultivation
and promotion of good fellowship among
its individual members.
SOT A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION.
The organization, the constitution ex
pres-ly states, shall not be political in
character in any sense of the term. To
effect its permananev it is provided that
steps be taken to secure a thorough organ
ization throughout the State.
Col. Garrard said that copies of the
constitution had been sent to Lieut.
Col. Wiky of Macon, Lieut. Col.
Mangham of Griffin, Lieut. Col.
Shepherd of Columbus, Lieut. Col.
Wooten of Albany, Capt. Taimadge
'of Athens, Capt. Jackson of Atlanta,
Capt. Printup of Rome, Capt. Clarke of
Augusta, and Lieut. Kay of Bruuswick,
asking that it be considered, and that or*
sranizations be effected upon a similar
banis.
Enthusiastic speeches were made in
support of the movement bv Hon. J. R.
Saussv, representing the Chatham Artil
terv; Hon. P. W. Meldrim. of the Georgia
Hussars; Capt. Robert Falligant. of the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry; Capt. W. W.
Gordon, Maj. D. C. Bacon, S. B. Adams,
Esq., and A. R. Lawton, Jr. The report of
the committee was then received and the
constitution was adopted. The meeting
was enthusiastic and harmonious in its
action, and the movement has been organ
ized with a strength which it is believed
will accomplish the aim sought for.
TRAMPING THE SAWDUST.
Seven Pedestrians on the Track In the
Fifty-Hour Race—Macon and Augusta
Fall to be Represented—now the Start
was Made—Pat. McCarthy In the Lead
at Midnight.
The fifty-hour go-as-you-please match
for the championship of the State and a
purse of 5200 was begun last night at 9
o’clock, at St. Andrew’s Hall, in the
presence of a large crowd, the hall being
tilled to its fullest capacity.
The floor was staked off and roped so as
to form a track about G feet in width
around the sides. In the centre the visitors
were seated, with a platform for the
scorers, caller, time keeper and pool
seller on the south side, lacing the main
entrance.
KEEPING THE SCORE.
On this platform are two blackboards,one
about 3 feet in length and 2 feet in depth,
pierced with 290 holes, ranged in rows of
30. counting from left to right. On the
left side of the board is a set of numbers
■•taowing 1 at the top and 9 at the bottom,
each number corresponding with the
number of the pedestrian. Across the
top is a set of numbers running from 1 to
30, each number being placed above the
respective rows of holes in the board.
PEGGING THE LAPS.
When the pedestrain known as “num
ber one” makes a lap a wooden peg
bearing a corresponding number is set in
tiie hole on the extreme left, anil as each
successive lap is made it is inserted in
the hole to the right until the last, or
30th lar>, constituting one mile, is finished,
when the peg is shifted back to hole No.
1, and the movement of the peg towards
the right is repeated for the second mile,
and so on successively as mile after mile
is completed.
The other and larger board shows the
numbers and names of the pedestrians,
and the name of the town whence they
hail, and the number of the miles and
laps opposite each name.
THE HALL ARRANGEMENTS.
The track for the pedestrians, as well
as the entire floor of the room , is covered
with sawdust to a depth of two or three
inches, and the arrangements to secure
good ventillation and cleanliness of the
floor is perfect. Hence, when ladies
mav choose to witness the match they
need have no fear of having their dresses
soiled by anything that may happen to be
thrown upon the floor.
During the earlier portion of the even
ing the Union Cornet Band played in
front of the hall, and after the audience
was assembled, took their stand in the
hall.
TAKING THE TRACK.
At 9 o’clock, the hour designated for
the beginning of the walk, the following
named and numbered pedestrians of Sa
vannah took a position near the platform:
1. Ogeechee John.
2. Joe Taylor.
3. George H. Wreford.
5. Pat Murphy.
6. Thos. Carrig.
7. Pat McCarthy.
8. H. J. Davis.
No. 4. Ralph Haskins, of Macon, and
No. 9, .J. F. Mitehell, of Augusta, failed
to put in an appearance, much to the sur
prise of the mauager and spectators.
Manager Gearon stated that he received a
telegram from both of them saying that
they would be in the city .to begin the
walk.
Everything being in readiness, with L.
B. Masters acting as scorer, and W. T.
Sullivan as caller, the signal for the start
was given by Mr. Gearon.
STARTED ON A RON.
The pedestrians started on a full run
amid shouts of applause. Seven of the
pedestrians are dressed in white. Pat
Murphy is dressed in a white shirt, light
brown ’ knee-breeches and dark red
stockings. Each man had his
number in large figures on his
breast and back, and his name was readi
ly obtained by referring to the board
where both name and number are re
corded.
Ogeechee John, who won the first prize
in the July contest, was in excellent
spirits and condition and confident
of winning the championship. He said:
••I want to win the eagle and take him up
on the Ogeechee to show to my brother
farmers.”
BUSY WORK FOR THE SCORERS.
During the first mile or two the scorer
and caller had nearly all they could do
to keep the eight pegs moving correctly
as the swift footed pedestrians went fly
ing around the track. But the record
was correctly shown as lap alter lap was
finished.
The following is the time made on the
first five miles:

the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
up the sum of its attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—

TWO LITTLE STORIES.
It Isn't Every On© wlio Laugh* who
Sees the Point of a Witticism.
The recent and present delightful
weather reminds one of the weather of
18— when Savannah was on its greatest
boom. People were flocking here from all
parts of the world. The Northerner saw
milliuDS in the future development ot the
South, and backed his judgment
on the result by his money. Greenbacks
were worth a considerable less than gold,
but there were plenty of them. The pros
pectors bad not "discounted the col
ored brother, and but few
supposed that he would be handi
capped uuon the South for a decade or two
to come. This has nothing to do with the
story, except to show the "exuberance of
the feelings of our business men.
The weather was always pleasant
to them. as it generally is to
prosperous people. When one merchant
met another he grasped his hand and
“howdydoed” with him,and asked him into
“Joe’s” to take something. Very near
everybody “took something” then, though
drinks were 25 cents each, with another 25
cents added if the “best brandy” was called
lor. There was no "Cotton Exchange”
then and no "Board of Trade.” Every
merchant went on his “own hook,” as it
were. They held on to the tree boxes
and fixed the price of cotton. It was a
straight stretch then, and the man of
brains and pluck made the money. He
paid no duty, as it were, on luxuries.
Those piping times of peace
and prosperity were before the days of the
Railroad Commission, when the people of
this city received the benefit of their en
terprise in building railroads. The men
who built the railroads controlled them.
Those were days long ago when you
look back to them, but when you
count them on your lingers the digits
will not go "around twice. There
were quite a number of enterprising Ger
mans who had come to Savannah to buy
cotton. They were not as well posted in
the vernacular as they are now. It was
before the French war, and the Germans
had not as much confidence in themselves
as they had after they visited
Paris. ’ They spoke better Eng
lish, however, than the average Savan
nahiau could speak German. It was just
such weather as we are having—delight
fully pleasant in the shade—when a mer
chant accosted one of our German
frieuds, Capt. W , and re
marked: “Captain, this is splendid
weather for the races.” “What races?”
asked our German friend. “The human
races,” replied the merchant. Both
laughed heartily over the joke. Capt.
W— thought it too good to keep, and
rushed off to tell it to a fellow German.
He didn’t go far to meet him, and
atter they had shaken hands, Capt.
W said to his compatriot: “Say, R., this
is a fine day for the trot.” “Yes,” replied
R., “but where is the trot?” “Why the
human trot,” and burst forth in a hearty
laugh at the alleged joke. By R.’s face W.
saw that the point ot the joke
had been rubbed off in handling.
The joke on tbe joke was the tunny
thing to tell on Bay street for a
long time afterwards. There may be a
few venerable merchants still amongst us
who remember the parties.
The above story is very similar to one
of the witticisms’of Mr. Henriques—pop
ularly known as Billy—a well known
Wall street broker, as told by the New
York Herald.
One day, several weeks ago, when it had
been particularly dull on ’Change, Mr.
Henriques was observed leaving the long
room, with a jaded and disgusted air.
“Made anything to-day, Billy?” asked a
friend.
“Made anything?” echoed the broker,
with sarcastic emphasis; “made any
thing? I should say not. Why, do you
know that if a skunk was to break loose
in the Stock Exchange he wouldn’t make
a (s)eent!”
It unfortunately happened that this
melancholy joke was overheard by a bro
ker who has the knack of unconsciously
torturing the life out of a humorous con
ceit. "Boys.” he exclaimed shortly alter
in Delmonieo’s, “did you hear of the joke
•Billy’ Henriques got off just now?”
“No!” “Why, he said things were so
dull on ’Change that if a skunk got loose
in the board room he wouldn’t make a dol
lar.”
THE IRISH VOTE.
What an Irishman lias to Say About It.
Editor of the Morning Mercs: Permit
me to ask space in your columns to reiute
the slander breathed against my country
men in the present Presidential campaign.
It would be a source of mirth, if it were
not so annoying, to all intelligent Irish
men when they read in the dailies the
absurd statement ot a “trade for the Irish
vote.” Surely these maliguers are gross
ly ignorant of Irish character or they
would scarcely look upon them as lambs
to be enticed or driven to slaughter. In
response to the charge that the Irish vote
is controlled by John Kelly, I say unhesi
tatingly that while from personal consid
erations or accidental circum
stances he may influence a
few, that influence with Irishmen
is extremely limited. He is the acknowl
edged leader of the political organization
known as Tammany, but Tammany is not
Irish in character, feeling or motive. All
nationalities are therein represented—
blended together to control the political
workings and offices of the city of New
York. With equal truth it might be as
serted that Pat Gilmore’s celebrated band
is Irish because its leader, like John Kel
ly, claims the Emerald Isle as the place of
his birth; or that Eugene Kelly’s bank is an
Irish organization, its President being an
Irishman. Look to every branch ol art and
science, to the legislative, judicial,
commercial, and mechanical departments
of this great country. Who more nobly il
lustrates each than an Irishman; "and
then say if such men can be bought and
sold. It may be asked why Irishmen fa
vor the Democratic party ? The reply is
ready: lor the same reason that, true
Southern men are Democrats. We do
not forget the Young American party or
the Know Nothing party, and regard the
present Republican organization as
the offspring ot these unnatu
ral and infamous parents. Had Mr.
Blaine and his co-patriots procured the
power Irishmen would have been denied
the ballot, and but for the gallant Stephens,
the chivalrous Wise, and other noble
Democrats who came to the rescue, met
the issue squarely and iought the good
tight successfully, we would now be dis
franchised, and I assure you, Mr. Edi
tor, Irishmen will never forget, it.
1 allude to tbe great body of Irishmen.
’Tis true some few at tbe North vote the
Republican ticket. They differ, as is per
fectly natural, on local political questions,
but are honest :n sentiment and inten
tion. Again, I find the ridiculous charge
that we are controlled by our Bishops and
priests. Never was theie a greater
error. While the Irish Catholic loves and
reverences his clergyman, his church, and
its offices, he suffers" no dictation in other
than spiritual matters, and if Bishop
or priest, should so forget the sacred
calling as to attempt any political inter
ference, he would receive a like rebuke
with the Holy Father, the Pope. See his
letter on the political status in Ireland.
We claim to be as intensely identified
on all that promotes the interest and wel
fare of America as America itself, and
justlv feel irritated under the gratuitous
insult, that our dearest rights and privi
leges can be bartered away with im
punity.
I also note as an inducement for our
vote that Blaine has a sister who has
taken the vows and wears the veil ot a
nun. We honor the lady, but cannot,
with his past record, yield him any sup
port. Another writer is clamorous for
our suffrages for Gen. Butler, claiming
him as the true friend of the laboring
class; but, sir, Irishmen would he false
to all the nobler instincts that can stir
a man’s heart if they should cast
a vote for one whose uncalled
for shameful order when the fortunes of
war placed him in command at New Or
leans stamp him a cowardly traducor of
the weaker sex, and will hand him to pos
terity with an ineffaceable stigma on his
brow r . We are Democrats as a whole,
and when the polls are opened in Novem
ber we will be found as ever in the front
rank shouting Hurrah! Hurrah! for our
President, Grover Cleveland.
An Irishman.
No Water for Eleven Days.
The shipwrecked crew of the British
bark Benefactress were adrift in an open
boat, supporting life on some bits of dry
bread and a few apples. This was slim
fare, and reduced them to a state of great
feebleness. But Brown’s Iron Bitters
brings enfeebled folks up rapidly, even
from such depths as this, it enriches
the blood, tones the system, and gives
healthful strength. Mr. Wm. Hardee, of
Ennis, Texas, writes that he had dyspep
sia in its worst form, but was restored by
Brown’s Iron Bitters.

It has been our aim since we established
business to meet the wants of each and
every customer, and to give them honest,
fair and square dealing, which can be
seen by our present business, and which
certainly speaks for our past. In doing
this we not only increased our trade, but
increased our reputation of being the
only reliable Clothiers and Gents

Didn’t It Though?
Our last advertisement brought us
numbers of purchasers all anxious for
bargains, and they got them too. We
told you that we meant just what we said
—that we were going to sell clothing, and
we did it. The prices were ruinous, it is
true, but then, in the face of anew
season, we couldn’t hold the goods, and
no respectable offer was let pass.
We have still left a few of those stylish
ly made Gents and Youths’ buits that
must be closed out, and if you appreciate
bargains now is the opportunity to enjoy
them. Nothing is misrepresented. No
"baits” or “decoy” offers. We expect
to make a permanent customer of every
caller, and to do that we propose to send
those who do not know us away with an
impression that will bring them back
again.
We would rather let our goods lay on
our shelves and counters unsold than to
have anyone think that they had been ill
treated or deceived, We propose to pur
