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.

Our friends lessness of such an enterprise they have attempted to make capital out of the fact, by adopting a set of resolutions declaring that as the negro who should vote the radical ticket in this district, did it at the risk ot his life, they deem ed it inexpedient to nominate any can didate. Not one half of tho counties comprised in the district, were repre sented at all, and the representatives 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. The people of our city are once again beginning to breathe freely, as the cold season gradually draws nearer, or rather as we draw nearer across the river are working like bea vers, and are perfectly confident that they will succeed in electing Hampton, they have ordered of one of our artists an immense reform banner, thirty feet in length and twelve in width, with the following inscription written in large letters upon its folds, viz. “ Tilden and Refonn, no colorline,” thus at last winning the cold season.

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?” to xvhicli Mr. Butler responde 1 by Clarke couuJty, Ga. tions held iu and for said districts, on Wednesday, 13th day of September, 1876, for Representative of said county: ATHENS (216TH) DISTRICT, G.

Cotton has not yet been received in sufficient quantities to cause much in crease in trade, but our merchants are vcy hopeful and are laying in large stocks in anticipation of a heavy trade. Many are glad to note the completion of tlieN. E.

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.
