Democracy is their oaly IftfrhatMt 'MtftilMR'M a spurious, autt- Jaefcm, bapM Demmeraey al that They have plead aoihiag eke «br their pruaeal attempt to over- threw what Is aakaowtedgad or all haads to have been a model adminlstraMoa of oar city affairs.— They kaow that the argusaent and the Jnstioo of the eaae is against them) that they oaa neither plead their own merit nor the delinquency of those whom they are panning ; that they stand naked and defenceless, stripped of every rational excuse for this unpatriotic warfero—this rnoro stru a glo for the spoils—and hence, in their desperate extremity, they catch at the old Democratic “straw,” as the ouly hope of salvation. But it is urgod that a Democratic administration originated all the great measures of oity improve ment and reform, aud that therefore an accoptnblc administration should bo removed to make way for them. Tho feet alleged cannot be provod; but take it for grauted, what has it to do with the prescut election ? Wo are not seeking for rneu to originate measures of reform—we have already reforms enough—but for men who have tho ability und tho will to carry out, in tho practical government of the city, tho salutary measures uow upon tho atutest book. Edward C. Anderson and bis associates have done it, and to a perfection novor approached by any former administration; and bonce their claims to tho public approval. Nor was it to tho present Democratic party—the men now evoking to appropriate tho good deeds of others as well os their own—that the city is in- debted for her excellent laws and material progress. Muuy of the Doiuocrats of tho past, when Demo cracy meant something, and who hnd an active hand in theso measures, arc now members of the American party, and have done nothing to lose thuir claims upon tho public. Edward C. Ander son is as good a Democrat to-day as Jomcs 1*. Scre ven, and the only difference is that bo refuses to follow him in his departures from tho faith of tho Democratic Fathers, and in pursuit of tho shadow of a substance that has fled.— The s&mo is true of a majority of the Amer ican ticket, many of whom were instrumental in originating the “reforms” now sought to be as cribed to tho Democratic present party. Lastly, wo have already shown that, be the intentions of the opposition ticket what they may, they nro not to be relied upon, to carry on effectively the present ad mirable system. This is fairly inferrable from the fact that many of tho party to whom they are look ing for power, aro opposed to some of our most valuable reforms. This thing is evident, and tho true friends of good government will not fail to rnat their votrt wUh a full appreciation of the danger. ■•IMM t »• h.1 iNH «t H* «t the throe Dcmoeratio papers of the oity propound ed certain questions which 1 propose to answer, u Under what oily administration wee ths Old Canton- meat Ogtothnrpo. procured for tho city of Haveanah, and tU alto verted la it la Fee KUaplet By a despatch to tho agents, we lenrn that the steamship Augusta, hence for Now York, arri ved at that port Saturday morning at 5 o'clock. jF®- Mr. Alexander’s complimeuts to tho Geor- gian and its corps of contributors, and would con fess that, for very good reasons, he has made but few visits to the Jail Uiis year in hi* capacity of Alderman. Tho same cannot lie said however of tho “anti-Know Nothing” party which is now permanently represented in the Jail by nine most honorable cititent, who were put there under a charge of illegal voting at the late election. Search wurranL* were issued for some fifty others of the same sort, but up to tho present time it hns been impossible to lay bauds upon them,tiny having taken to their bools in the confident belief that there is moro virtue in u pair of good legs than in twelve honest jurors. But for this flight from their country for their country's good, it is more than possiblo that the “anti-Know Nothing" representa tion in tho county Jail would have been sufficiently large to havo dispensed with any visits whatever from tho chairman of tho Jail committee—unless, as some may think, tho greater their number, the greater should havo boon tho vigilance of the chair man. Bo this as it may, tho Georgian and its friends should havo been tho last to complain; for derelic tion of duty on his part only increased opportuni ties of their imprisonod friends’escoping and being voted through at the present election. The Municipal Dictatorship.

He tboucc went down the Bluff, in hot pursuit of a ronn, whom he forced to jump overboard; not liking np|»enrancos here, he immediately returned. Coming up tho Bluff, he pitched another negro lnto|thc air. On the Bay he encountered an Irishman by tho name of John Gallagher, whom ho gored severely, and continued his furious peregrinations, carrying off upon his horns a portion of Mr. G’s coat tail as a trophy. He then made his way across towards the market, and while turning a corner, nttuckcd a la dy, bearing off a portion of her dress, lie dnshed through Congress-street into Bull, thence hack in to Whitaker, through to Liberty, thence back into If ono will east hi* eyes over the wnsto of words in tho Georgian of yesterday, ho will lind that nearly nil its spneo is devoted to tho llopuhlican.

There is one text, however, in which, even in the wl Je range of their lucubrations, they fuilod to houor with a com ment. No doubt they found it. troublesome, and wore glad to avoid it. We allude to tho centralization of so much power in the hands of a singlo ma i. in the event of Dr. Scrcvon's election, lie is already President of the Savannah & Gulf Railroad, Head of the Water Works, and State Sena .or,— This looks sufficient to satisfy the ambition of most men, but to this must be added the Mayoralty of the city of Savaunuh. Iu the Island of Cuba they havo an official styled “Captain General,” and if tho Savannah de mocracy ure to have their own way, it verily looks as though we wore to havo a re-enactment of tho office, if not the title, on our own republican shore*.

It should he a enuso of grntulation that tho subject hns boon brought before tlie Legislature, nnd that authority is now sought from that body to levy n tax to erect a new nud suitable building.

Tlie draining of tho streets through theso sewers necessarily conveys n great deal of sand in to tho river, which is deposited along the Wharves and render them so shoally ns materially to hinder tho approach of vessels of tho larger class. This is a serious matter nud must inevitably involve thu city in a great expense, whilst it shews tlm im policy of over having theso sowers emptying into thu rivur. Thu difficulty is in some incnsiiru obvi ated in Whitaker street by its being recently paved. The sower in West Broad street can only ho reme died by (Hitting a sewpr down in Bryan street to intersect the sower on tho north side of the Canal. Tho most effectual (dan would lie to havo a sewe commencing from tho top of tho Bluff in West Broad street, theneo to Hull street, thence a main sewer through Hull street emptying into tho Creek on tho east side of the city. Sowers ran be led into tliis from nny part of the city, from cither north or south. This plan would require a large amount of looney.
