Prohibition was defeated in Toxas by 125,000 majority. The colored and white people would get along very well in Geor gia if it was not for such little fel lows as Glenn barking and yelping togain a doubtful notoriety. Hon. James. G. Blaine, is in Dublin, Ireland, quietly taking Observations of the condition of that country. The value of the political capital be will make on his return home can hardly be estimated. The Negro is a citizen of Georgia ‘‘and to the msnner born,” and you can bet your last dollar that it will be a cold day in August when be fails to raise Cain when it fs at tempted to make an issue of him. ——— Glenn the man who has been monkeying with the miscegnation and race question will be roundly Iv cursed by the Democrats in 1888. The Republicans will not fail to use him and give him the notoiiety he deserves. The white man T. G. Wool folk, the alleged murderer of bis father, mother, three sisters three brothers and his aged aunt, nine in all in Bibb county on the sth instant, is a monster whose equal has never been known. The magnitude of the crime has shocked the entire country. On Monday night last a Mass Meeting <»f the colored citizens or Augusta was held in the City Hall to take action looking to the aboli tion of “the hell” that is called the Georgia convict system. The meeting was presided over by P. H. Craig, Esq. Strong speeches were made by the chairman. Capt. J. W. Lyons, J C. Green and others, denouncing in the most unmeasured terms the barbarous and inquitous system. The following resolutions were -unanimously adopted: Augusta, Ga., Aug. 8, ’B7. To The Honorable the Legislature of Georgia: The following resolultious were unan imously adopted and endorsed by the undersigned citizens <jf Richmond •canty. VVuereaa, According to the reports of legislative committees and according to investigations m»de by the leading newspapers of Georgia, the present convict system is inhuman and barbar ous, in that the prisoners are treated more like beasts of burden than human beings, and Whereas, The present system allows more - directly and openly its labor to come in contact or competition with free labor than does the system of any other State in that the convicts are worked upon the dirt rosds, railroads, in the mines, upon farms and at almost anything the convicts can do to make money for the lessees. Be it resolved, That the Legis lature of Georgia be and is hereby re. spectfuliy urged to ab lish this infernal institution which has done more than all other agencies combined to blot the iwne of Georgia before the civilized world. A strong protest was «lso adopted against the use of convict labor to the detriment of honest wage work era in Richmond coontv, and the city council asked to abaie the evil. The speeches and resolutions have the right ring to them and it is to be hoped they will have the desired effect on those in authority. The Georgia Negro seems deter mined to be an ‘‘issue.” He wants more attention than bis importance . warrants.—Morning News. The trouble is the Negro will not F allow himself to be made mb ’’issue” L J neither by his “friends” nor his foes. He is fully capable of taking care of himself, and all he asks is to be let alone. He asks for no more at tention than what is his right to demand. He certainly feels his “importance” to the extent that all classes in our country feel theirs. The Morning News knows that the Negro is of great importance to the South—so great indeed that if he were taken from this section for one year the South could not sustain itself and bankruptcy, poverty, ruin, and desolation would be the inevitable result to the Sunny South. THE SLAVERY BILL. A. recent editorial in the Chicago Inter* Ocean the ablest and most influential paper in the West, conclude* a* follow*. “Whether, under the ( Destitution of the United States, the State of Georgia has a right to send to the chain gang the teacher of any col ored school, either public or pri vate, for the crime of permitting his own son to recite to himself along with ihe other pupils in th school is a question by itself. But it will be as easy to dodge a stroke of lightning as for the government of the State of Georgia, if this in famous measure should become a Ihw, to escape the condemnation and scorn of the whole American people. For the law, when the mo tive of it is unmasked, is seen to be essentially and ineffably mean and cowardly, a gratuitous and brutal outrage against the rights of Amer ican citizens, a spitefulness toward our‘‘inferior” race which would be indecent in a lot of Apache Indians, and withal a kind of response to the munificent benevolences of North ern people who haye done so much to aid the State of Georgia in its great educational task, which puts a dismal meaning on “our civiliza tion” as represented by this Geor gia Legislature. But while the shame of such a coarse and cowardly and stupid measure brands itself like a stigma upon the brow of that particular State, it is not to be overlooked that it at the same time is some thing which concerns Americans generally. The honor of the American name and of the Ameri can civilization is a matter to which every patriot jvill be sensitive. As a matter of National politics, from the Southern point of view, it is not easy to imagine a more stupid blunder. The sham in the pretext of it is transparent; the shame in ihe motive or it is ineffable, and will long remain to plague those who have so heedlessly exposed themselves to the contempt of all men with any sense of honor and fair play. OUR ALBANY LETTER. DAMAGES BY THE RECENT FLOODS — PROF. WALKER —BASE BALL MATCH —THE TRIBUNE APPRECIATED, The recent rains have of c >urse damaged the growing crops, nioie or less, and in some fields consider able iniury has er.sued but the pri - den* con-ervativ(> farmers estimated the injury as slight. There will be beyond per-adventure a fair crop harvesied in tins county. There are only a few plantations in tlii~ county on the Flint, that have low fields that are inundated by the re cent flood of rain, though the waters a r e higher now than they have been since —’s3. Those in Dougin rty who have sustained ’lie greatest damage are Benjaminn .Mitnms, Ned Acre, and >( illiatns. Mimrns lives about four miles from town and a mile from the river, a party of men Friday the sth got in a boat and went down the river and landed th-ir boat in Mimms’ 10l right at his bouse. Ned Acre, has 75 acres of corn under water his whole corn crop is a total loss. Though he loses his corn, yet heis is not as great a loss as Minims as he will lose his cotton and c >rn. Every farmer throughout the dis trict has sustained some loss on their fodder as the r lining was so as to prevent the sun from drying it. therefore causing gome consider aide lossage, the cotton bad just commencMi opening when the rain set in its work of deg roying and caused a good many bales to rot that was half opened, although they could not have been saved if they had been opened as the rain would have washed it out upon the ground and it would i hv* been It st. Then-fore the expectations of large receipts in August at this market will not be realized, as the wet weather has set back the maturity some twenty days.. Prof. H. L. Walker of Augusta, President of the State Teachers’ Convention is in the city and is the guest of Mrs. Eliza Bostick; be has been in the city for ten days resting from bis labors and drinking our health giving artesian water. On Monday night Prof. Walker, deliv ered a very interesting and impres sive lecture upon education which was a master piece and enjoyed by all of which I will give you in the next issue. On Tuesday he was given a grand reception at Prof. W C Green’s which was one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season. During bis short stay in our city he won the nd mi ration of all, there is not but one thing to regret and that is he cannot stay longer, and should he ever return to Southwest Georgia it would be our greatest pleasure to have him stop with us and we will do every thing to make bis stay pleasant, he leaves this morning for Americus (Wednesday) to stop a while with Prot. G. W. F. Phillips. The Nine Stars of Albany will play a match game of baseball with the Royal Nine of Brumswick, Au gust, 6, in this city.

Mr Editor : Please allow me a space in your cohitns to give the brevities of our town. The rain has stopped for the last six days. There has been only one death last week, Bro. L. G. Jordan lost his baby, it had been sick sometime. We organized an Educational Asso ciation here in January for the pur pose of fostering education in our town; though it has met a great many opposers and enemies—it has survived, and has closed the private term and c »mmenced the public term. This is h creditable school, and deserves the assistance of all. The name of the Institute is the Searles’ Institute. The Searles’ In stitute will run an excursion f om Savannah September 19, to Block shear for their benefit and it is hoped that every friend of educa tion in the city will avail them selves of this opportunity and go, as it will be of a great benefit to the Association and poor children. Mrs. J. W. Searies has been in disposed for a week but she is con valescing again. The writer has promises of some more new sub scribers for the Savannah Tribune. Yours, S. H. Bryant.
