Savannah, September 16.—The
total iut^fcments to day were 28; yei-
low fefjsr, 21. The weather is very
threatening with northeast wind and
rain. Ij is had for those who are sick.
The reports during the entire week
from the Savannah News have been
very gloomy, showing that the fever
has been steadily increasing, and the
heavy death rate evincing the fact that
it is of a vetv malignant type. These
cool nights and mornings are very
trying upon those who are victims of
the scourge, and it is felt thaoiothinb
but a heavy white frost will conquer
the raging pestilence. Reports of a
similar epidemic in Charleston and
Baltimore%e rife.

did it at the risk ot his life, they deem
ed it inexpedient to nominate any can

comprised in the district, were repre

that were here were chiefly office-
of supporting the handsome sheet,
which you now publish, and which is
the equal of any weekly published in
the State, both in point of execution
and matter.

lie accepted the flattering nomina
tion tendered him by the Ninth iu a
graceful manner, and pledged himself
to do his whole duty, fearlessly and
boldly—that ho should never make
any inflammatory or unguarded
speeches, but that when he spoke, he
would first have truth on his side,
and, being armed xvith truth, he
feared no man.
Thus closed, says the Nagle, one of
the most harmonious political Con-
! vchtions that ever assembled in the
Strtc.
r In this connection, two little inci
dents are narrated, which may not
prove uninteresting. Mr. Hill, it ap
pears, accosted Rev. D E. Butler,
last week, in Atlanta, xvith, “Why,
Mr. Butler, I thought you xvere a
sensible man.” Mr. B. replied that
he certainly laid claim to that title.
“But,” persisted Mr. Hill, “how
happens it that you are doubtful of
the nomination, when you say you
have nine counties iu theCouvoution?”

consequently dread the retaliation of

and that is Morgan ” Mr. Butler
remembered that he had an editorial
to fix up »oi the|//n/cx, and hurriedly
departed.
It also appeareth that one chivalric
mountaineer, by tho name of Martin
Lovelady, of Gilmer, was starved ont
by tho long-continued deadlock last
year at Gaintsx-ille. Uncle Martin is
a Hill man from the bottom of his
clay pipe to the tip of his suspenders,
but his anxiety to get back to his
crop, worried him mightily. This
time, however, he came down from
the glades of Gilmer with his herds of
tix*e Committee.
Puryear’s District voted for Thomas
G. Macon, Robert Tuck, F. G. Glenn
and Wm. H. Morton, as members of
the Democratic Executive Committee.
220th District voted for W. J.
Tuck, as member of Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee.
Athens (216th) District, G. M.,
appointed Emory Speer, A. S. Dorsey,
C. D. Hill and Thomas Bailey, as
memhe’-s of tho Democratic Execu
tive Committee. '
219th District appointed M. D. L.
Pitman, as member of Democratic
Executive Committee.
Savannah, and consequent flight of
thousands of the white inhabitants,
will cause the loss of that district to
the Democracy, and its representation
fall into the hands of men selected by
Bryant and his crew. It is a well
known fact, however, that negroes can
do nothing without some one to direct
their efforts, and it is to lie hoped that
thtir scalawag leaders, will sooner fly
from the fell disease than risk tlieir
lives for the sake of obtaining office.
Jonathan Norcros3the Republican can
didate lor Governor addressed or at
tempted to address his constituents
here last week, his theme lieing the
delalrat on of treasurer Jones at which
he hinted that Governor’s Jenkins and
Smith connived; hut unfortunately for
the gentleman there were many demo
crats present who did not endorse his
sentiments in this respect, and as they
expressed their disapprobation in terms
unmistakable |inj their significance,
the worthy Republican standard bearer
found it necessary, and even urgently
so that he should cut short his speech,
and adjourn the meeting which was ac
cordingly done. Pursuant to notice
the Republican Convention for this
the 8th district met here yesterday in
order to nominate a candidate for Con
gress in opposition to Alex H.
Stephens, but appreciating the hope-
age, to the foundation, upon which is to
rest a monument in commemoration of
the glorious deeds of the mighty and
lamented dead. Clinch.
An Accommodating Man.
Just before noon yesterday some
carpenters who’were repairing a build
ing on Jefferson avenue called upon a
pedestrian to help hoist a long pole,
xvhicli xvas to form a scaffold support.
When it xvas up he \x*as asked to
steady the pole, and unknown to
him it xvas made last at the top xvith
a rope. The carpenters went out
on the other side ot the building,
going to dinner, and said nothing to
the accommodating man iu from,
lie thought they xvere a good xvhilo
gettinor ready, hut be kept liis bi-ace
ffguinst the pole for :r long half hour,
fearing each moment that it would
overpower him and fall across the,
street. At length a boy came along,
saw how things xvere, and cried out:
“ You cau’t steal that pole unless
you untie the rope at the top.”
The accommodating man stepped
back, realized bis position, and the
way he kicked a bunch of shingles to
pieces forced the boy to exclaim :
“ Well, noxv, I’ve seen a good
many men get mad, but I nex*er saw
a mad man’s teeth hang out as his
do.”—Detroit Free Press.
