DEATH OF AN OlaD SAVANNAH MER
CHANT.
A telegraphic dispatch in another column
announces the death of Mr. George Hall,
who died in Hartford, Connecticut, yester
day, in the 80th year of his age.
The deceased was one of oar oldest and
most highly respected citizens. Coming to
Savannah some half a century ago he en
gaged in commercial pursuits, in which he
wa& very successfol. In the vigor of his
manhood he took an active part in the com
mercial and other enterprises of the day, and
was among the original projectors and aiders
of the then gigantic undertaking, the con
struction or the Central Railroad. He was
also connected with the shipping interest,
and contributed his full share in building op
the commerce of our city. Some twenty
years ago he retired from active business,
but continued to be a director of the Marine
Bank from its first establishment until a few
years ago, when advancing age and feeble
health compelled him to seek repose in re
tirement from the labors and cares of busi
ness. Of late years he had resided in Hart
ford, his native city, speeding his winters in
Savannah, where he had many personal
friends and where he atiU retained large in
terests.
Of a quiet and unobtrusive disposition,
possessing a sound practical judgment, in
dustrious in his habits, he was a man of strict
probity, amiable temper and benevolent
heart; which qualities won for him the warm
friendship of tho3e who knew him most in
timately, not less than the sincere re
spect of all vrithin the circle of his acquaint
ance.
The liberal bequest which he leaves in aid
of the public charities of his native city, and
of Savannah, the city of his adoption, is
fittiDg dose of a long and useful life which
had been adorned with many actB of true
benevolence.
His memory will long be cherished by onr
citizens with the memories of those who
have done good in their day and generation,
the trae benefactors of their race.
THE SAVANNAH MUNICIPAL. BIE.I,.
Onr citizens generally will, be gratified to
learn Irom our Atlanta dispatch that the
Legislature yesterday passed the Savannah
Municipal Bill over the Bullock’s veto by a de
cided majority. The bill as passed post
pones the city election until November, and
provides for an honest registry of the voters,
which will not this time be under the control
of “Sharp and Quick’’ and his miserable
tools.
By this lime the Bullock begins to find
that he hasn’t got such a very “soft thing’’
after all. A ‘ ‘factious” Senate has rejected his
Black-Stone, and now the refractory General
Assembly has had the audacity to snub his
maiden veto. We would remind him again
of the fate of his illustrious prototype and
namesake who collided with the locomotive.
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATING COBJ
VGNTION.
The Democratic Executive Committees
of Thomas and Brooks counties, and the
Clubs of such counties as we have beard
from having acquiesced ia the suggestion of
the Chatham Executive Committee to post
pone the day of the meeting, it is now un
derstood that the Convention to nominate a
candidate to represent the First Congres
sional District in Congress will assemble at
Blaekshear on Wednesday, the 16th instant.
This extension of the time will afford an
opportunity for nearly, if not all the coun
ties comprised in the District to be repre
sented. It is very desirable that there should
be a full representation, and that every
county should express the choice of its citi
zens in the Cohvention through its true rep
resentative men. We respectfully urge,
therefore, that our Democratic friends in
every county in the District, that have not
done sn already, take the necessary steps to
be represented in the Convention. We be
lieve that it is only necessary that we shall
place an acceptable candidate in nomination
to eecure bis election.
To this end all personal and sectional pre
ferences innst be disregarded. Let the pnr-
pos3 of every Democrat who seeks the good
of his party, of the State, and of his race—
who desires to redeem the First District
from the outrage, disgrace and shame of
being again misrepresented in the Congress
of the Union by a miserable, ignorant, up
start carpet-bagger, come to Blaekshear
with a foregone determination to nnite cor
dially and harmoniously on the strongest,
ablest and truest Democrat. in the District
-as onr nominee, and onr trinmph on the day
of the election will be certain.
GRAND BAL-DAsqUB AT WHITE SUL
PHUR SPRINGS.
The Jenkins of the Richmond Whig fur
nishes that paper with a fall account of the
fancy mask ball whioh recently came off at
White Sulphnr Springs, Ya., with the names of
the principal participants, the dresses of the
ladies, &<£ The ladies are described as very
beautiful, and their costumes as very coBtly
and brilliant. Among the ladies, the writer
mentions “the Misses Russell of Georgia, in
white evening dresses, very pretty.” From
Sodth Carolina, the names of Miss Cheves,
Mrs. Governor Pickens, Miss Ravene], (as
Priestess of the Bun; in “splendid costume
and numberless jewels,” and Mrs. Clinch,
widow of General Clinch, “who, as she
gazed on' the gorgeous panoramic scene,
says Jenkins, “could not help exclaiming:
‘Oh! that I had the jewels and laces to sell
for the benefit of the poor of dear, suffering
Carolina.” ’ The only gentleman from Geor
gia mentioned is “Mr. Green of Savannah,
who appeared as Don C®sar de fiazan.”
Among the distinguished gentlemen pre
sent were General Lee; General Beauregard,
Hon. A. H. Stephens, and Governor Piokens
of South Carolina.
The Cincinnati Gazette is troubled to know
what can be done with the delegations of

A SLANDERER AT H19 OLD TRADE.
That veracious historian, so-called, Pol
lard, who is picking np a hand to month
living among a people upon whose heads he
has emptied more incoherent and nngram-
matical filth than any man. living, has
recently written a most infamous attack
upon Ex-President Davis. We find it in the
Savannah Republican, whose editor ought
to be ashamed of himself for giving it circu
lation. It is false as to facts, mean and
venomous iu its inspiration, and eminently
Follardish in its abusively bitter tone. It is
each an article as Forney might write, and
Beast Butler or John Logan chuckle over;
and which would naturally find an applaud
ing echo among the vilest of the Beast
Butler party. No man with one spark of
sympathy for the South and her misfortune,
no matter where he lived, could either write
or approve such aa article, and no man de
serves either Southern countenance or respect
Who does either.
Pollard, we suppose, will be calling for
Southern patronage to the sickly concern
called ‘The Political Pamphlet," which he
uses os a vehicle for his slanders, and in
which this attack upon Ml.Davis first sp
ared. We warn all good men and women
against being beguiled into giving one cent
towards ils support. Subscribe to Harper’s
Weekly or Forney’s Chronicle at once. Let
the slanderer either learn to write the trntb,
and speak with common respect of meu and
things the South will never cease to revere,
or starve. We are of the opinion the latter
alternative would be much the best for so
ciety, and especially for the honorable guild
in which he claims membership. Suoh un
scrupulous, characterless Bohemians only
bring discredit upon the more repntable o.f
that class. Their trade is slander, their wea
pons defamation and abuse, and their only
ambition a high seat in the synagogue of Bil
lingsgate.
Let this one carry his wares to another
market Southern people have no money to
buy, and no temper to tolerate them. We
advise Pollard to farm out his pen to the
Beast Butler parly, during the Canvass, at
least. Our only wonder is that he has not
long ago secured a fat place on the staff of
the Tribune. Such a position would suit
him admirably, and might give him a safe
‘coign of vantage” whence he conld assail
Mr. Davis and the Confederate officers living
in New York, and whom he speaks of in
this article as “Southern vagabonds,” every
day if he liked.—Macon Messenger.
THE REPORTED ACTION OF THE
NEW YORK WHOLESALE DRV
GOODS HOUSES.
The New York Journal of Commerce, al
luding editorially to the paragraph stating
that the leading dry goods houses of that
city had resolved to extend no credit in fa
tare to Southern dealers, says :
It turns out now that the representation
is wholly false. We have inquired person
ally of “the leading dry goods firms ot New
York,” and they declare that they never
heard of this meeting until this paragraph
was published, and that they propose to
make no change whatever in relation to their
custom in the Southern States. Tho leading
jobbers in this city are doubtless divided iu
their personal relations to the two great po
litical parties; but there are few of them, we
have reason to know, who carry their parti-
sanship so far a3 to interfere with the' man
agement of their business upon sound mer
cantile principles. They invite custom from
every section, and will sell every applicant
in good credit without regard to his political
bias. So far from any unusual restrictions,
there has been an extension of last season’s
credit to worthy Southern applicants, a very
natural result as the two sections become
more intimately connected.
Alluding to the article of the Brooklyn
Eagle, the Baltimore Commercial says:
This may or may not be true. If true, we
guess the Southern merchants can find al
tne accommodations they desire in the city
of Baltimore, which is uble to pay cash on
delivery, and is therefore independent of
New York or any other would-be monopoly.
The Richmond Whig, speaking of the re
ported proscription of Southern merchants
as represented by the Union, says:
If this affair is turned to the account it
should be by the Direct Trade Convention
that meets in Norfolk in October, the South
will have cause before long to thank the
New York merchants for the resolution they
have formed. At any rate it is to be hoped
that no Southern merchant, who has the
cash, will spend a dollar of it in New York,
with such an insult wantonly thrown in the
face of his class.
It is due to the New York merchants them
selves that they should call on the Brooklyn
paper to give the names of the leading firms
which it alleges have agreed together to sell
no more goods to Southern merchants on the
usual terms of the trade.

in the report of the Agricultural Bureau.
From 75,000 to 100,000 orange trees were
set out last year, of whioh 30,000 were
planted ont on Flint river alone; and, in
1865 and 1866, at least 50,000 were trans
planted and budded in East and Middle Flo
rida. The price, instead of being $15 to $20
per thousand on the trees, as' stated, should
have been $25 to $30, and some choice lots
sold as high as $35. The orange grows wild
all over Florida, and good trees, when trans
planted and bndded, bear 500 to 2500 sweet
oranges each.

LettebFbom Booth-East Flobtda.—The
letter from South-east Florida, which we
publish on our first page, will be read with
interest by all, especially by those who de
sire to inform themselves of the soil, climate,
productions, health and social condition of
that delightful section of our sister State.
Tbe letter was not written for publication,
but was kindly furnished to ns by Dr. Jelks,
in order that the information which it con
tains may reach the public. It has been
some years since we yisited tbe country in
the vicinity of Lake Jessup, but our recol
lection of that delightful region corroberates
the statements of the writer of the letter.
Steam From Brunswick tor Europe.
“We have seen a letter from the agents of
the MacGregor line of foreign steamships, in
which they offer to discharge freight from
Europe at Brunswick ou the most favorable
terms. There wilt, of course, be a good
deal of railway freight to be delivered at
Brunswick right away, and next year we
hope there will be a good deal of foreign
freightage at that port both ways. It won’t
be long before there will be passengers from
Brunswick for Europe. A good many will
prefer to avoid tbe icebergs and fogs of the
Northern route, which together, have sent
many a good sbip to tbo bottom, with not a
man left to tell the tale."—Macon Telegraph.
According to their advertisement the Liv
erpool and Savannah line of steamers will
deliver goods at Brunswick, Augusta, Macon
or Atlanta, but we do not suppose that they
design just at present to pat on a line of
steamships between either of those'placeB
and Liverpool, or that either of them will be
an embarkation point for passengers. The
MacGregor Company propose a liberal accom
modation to all points in connection with
their line of European steamships, but they
hardly contemplate touching all along shore.
If our friend of the Telegraph will
wait awhile, he may be accommodated
with a line of steamers from Brunswick at
tbe^terminns of the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad to Liverpool, bat for the present,
we invite him to unite with ns ia an effort to
concentrate the attention and patronage of
the Southern commercial public to the Liver
pool and Savannah Line. For some time to
come one line, with the facilities it affords
for the transmission of freights to all points
on this side, and in Enrope, will be ample
for the wants of the Sonthern trade. It is
only by such a concentration that a proper
encouragement and support can be given to
the enterprise.
Conservative Blacksmiths.—The TJio
masville Eaterprize of Wednesday says
We are requested by many of the farmers of

They want men in favor of good order, goot
government, and friendly relations with the
white people. They intend hereafter to pat

this want be quickly filled.

plete all the arrangements for direct com
munication with that country, and we ure
also pleased to slate that the first vessel ot
Mr. Battelini’s line of regular packets be
tween Jacksonville and Havre, will arrive
here about the first of October. We may
not’all appreciate the benefits which will oc-;
crae to our merchants from this great indi
vidual enterprise; but we, ourselves, are of
the opinion that they will be almost incalcul
able.
Repudiation.—“Brick” Pomeroy’s new
paper, the New York Democrat, is ont bold
ly for repudiation. In an editorial in its third
number, on the pnblio debt, it said:
We sweep aside the interminable discus
sions about the terms of the bargain, and
ask simply, does j ustice to tbe people require
that the bargain be recognized ? If we find
that a corrupt Congress obtained the consent
of an ignorant, thoughtless and excited peo
ple to tbe erection of that stupendous monu
ment of national folly called the national
debt; if we fiad that the debt was oorruptiy
contracted; that its terms are usurions; if
we become convinced that a national debt is
the most powerful means of national corrup
tion; that it causes an unequal and unfair dis
tribution of property; that it creates a mis
chievous, idle, non-prodneing, untaxed,
bonded aristocracy; that it throws the bar-
den of taxation entirely npon the laboring
class; that it hampers production and in
creases extravagance; that it makes million
aires on one side and paupers on tbe other;
and that it breeds crime as the hot sun breeds
maggots; if we fiad, ia a word, that a nation
al debt is an an mitigated national curse, we
shall waste no time upon the written law to
discover its letter or its spirit, but shall ap
peal at once to the higher law of national
welfare, which demands that so potent on
evil be once abolished.
F4.T4L Affray in Lee County.—The Sum
ter Republican of Thursday learns that a
fatal rencontre took place at Green’s Mills,
in Lee county, 00 ThQri*day IrsI, between a
young man by the name of Grockmv&QQjtier
named Bradford, and Mr. James Green and
his son, resulting in the killing of old Mr.
Crocker by bis son, and tbe wcqnding of
Bradford and the two Greens. It is believed
that both Bradford andyonng Green are mor
tally wounded. The shot that proved fatal
to old Mr. Crocker was discharged at the
Greens by young Crocker. The weapons
employed were shot gnns and revolvers, and
some twenty shots were fired by the parties.
They were till respectable oitizens of Lee
county. Politics had nothing to do in tbe
matter. The difficulty originated by one of
the parties insulting the sister of the other.

Atlanta, September 4.—A bill was passed
by the Senate to-day and by the House -a

Augusta, September 4.—There was a large
Democratic mass meeting at Waynesboro'
yesterday, addressed by Generals Toombs,
Wright and others. The Democrals are en
thusiastic. It is believed that the pro
gramme is to eject all objectionable persons
from the Legislature, and that expulsion will
not be confined to the negro members, but
be extended to many whites, who, it is
charged, aye not eligible. The Democrats
arc very bitter against that ejasa whom they
term scalawags and carpet-baggers, and are

charges are proven. It is now evident that

What is the Matter with You ?
This is the familiar question put to every invalid.
In many casea the Answer la, “I don’t know exactly,
bnt I don't feel well.” Look at the countenance of
the man or woman who makes this reply, ami you 1
will generally find that the eyes are dull and lustre
less, the complexion sallow, the cheeks flacld, and
the whole"expression of the face dejected. Interro
gate the Invalid more closely, and yon wlll discover
that constipation, the result of a disordered
stomach and a torpid liver, la at the bottom or the
mischief. ’-That’s what’s the matter." Whoever
