BAINBRIPGE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21,1871
Trip to Savannah.
Not believing the reports of the Char*
leston and New York, papers in reference
to the prevalence of yellow fever in the
‘Forest City,* we ventured to visit the
aforesaid city one day last week, and as
we bad anticipated, found that there had
not b een one case of yellow fever in the
city during the season, and that the city
was healthier than it had been for years.
It seems that Charleston, has a special
spite against her sister city Savannah, and
is tryiug to do evety thing in her power
to create the impression that the fever
does prevail there; but we assure our
readers that such is not the case.
We found the city alive with business ;
the wholesale merchants have made exten
sive purchases aud are prepared to sell to
couutry buyers at New York prices. The
wharves are crowded with merchandise
destined fer all parts of Georgia aud Ala
bams.
Savannah is improving rapidly, and is
destined to be the foremost city of the
South, and we think it the duty of every
Georgian to lend a helping hand toward's
building up their principal city. The Sa
vannah merchants generally are a liberal
set of gentlemen and willing to extend to
Country merchants the same favors that
they receive in New York.
We hope that onr merchants when or»
dering goods during the winter, will give
our Savannah friends a trial. We were
glad to find that our young friend R. M.
Johnston Esq., formerly of this city, was
duly installed as local editor of the Morns
ing News, and that the proprietors were
much pleased with him. Success to you
Johnston.
We return oar thanks to the editors and
proprietor of the Morning News, Messrs.
W. C, Hayes & Cos., and many others for
numerous favors shown us.
The Late Special Election
Is not without a moral. The idea un
derlying the nomination of Mr. Tinley was
to divide the white vote and secure a more
\uw«ajwtiia«ajo(LigfLaaatial white element to
The movement originated with the Mulatto
Regency in Macon. Jeff Long was the
engineer and secured the nomination, and
then did his best to rally the African legion
to its support. He called a ratification
assemblage in this city on Tuesday night,
and was chairman of the meeting which
was numerously attended, and he made a
flaming speech in behalf of the nominee.
But he failed miserably. The opposition
attacked him without mercy so soon as he
had taken his seat. He writhed and
groaned and called them to order in vain.
They pinned him to his chair and put him
through a course of sprouts which made
him, for the once, several shades whiter
with wrath and mortification. The next
day, however, they did Jeff still less honor,
by letting his candidate alone severely not
only in Bibb county, but even still more in
other parts of the District. Look at Mons
roe and Pike.
The change was that Mr. Tinley had
never been known as a Radical—and it was
true ; but we venture to say any white
nominee would not have met with a much
better fate unless at the expense of thor
ough social, as well as political, iduntifi
cation with the negro Radicals. The ne
gro politicians are very naturally tired out
with being played iu the interest of an in-,
significant white minority, and the whites
who uudeitake to manage them in their
line hereafter, have got to go down con
siderably below their knees in Ethiopian
demagoguery.
The extraordinary unanimity with which,
all over an extensive district of three large
counties, in a few day's notice, without
publication or resolu*ion to that effect,
they all with one consent dropped Tinley
Wq the mud. ought to beau awful war
ning to men who fancy they can pander
and patch up compromises and bargains
for their own or the public advantage with
the negroes.
Some have said that the price of harmo
nious political alliance with the negroes is
an equal social alliance. But even that is
very doubtful. All history and experi
ence shows that the jealousy and antago
nism of color pervades even the colored
people, and half-breeds are proscribed bv
the blacks. San Domingo and Jamaica il
lustrate this proposition. The white man,
or white party, then, who knuckles and
compromises with negro parties and poli
ticians will be miserably disappointed at
last.
Ibe negroes will, to some extent, sup
port white candidates, A considerable
number of them voted for Simmons. But
they are not going to support white can-,
didates or* an equality basis. Some of
them will vote for whites from motives ot
respect for superior qualifications aud po
sitiou ; but when white candidates come
down to the African basis they prefer their
own color. The idea of a grand political
amalgam is as preposterous as that of a
grand social amalgam. The price of both
to the whites would be ouly the coutempt
or the negroes.
There is but 'me course to pursue. Let
the whites of Georgia stand shoulder to
Moulder mamtaiu their supremacy and
exercise it righteously for the benefit of
all. Any other coarse is ruinous. Think
of that time apprehended by some of our
best men, when two equally divided white
parties shall go into the arena for negro
voatea as a floating balance of party pow
er.
Years ago there were, about a hundred or
so white ‘floaters* lift Bibb who, days be
fore the election, were penned by the rival
parties and kept wallowing* in whisky.,
Gan any man contemplate any similar pd-*
sition for any considerable part of the ne
gro voterins Georgia without horror? To
have all public questions decided in that
way would be horrible. But what a mis
fortune to the negroes themselves, and to
every industrial interest of the State to
have that population exposed to snch cor
rupting aud demoralizing conditions. We
entreat the respectable whites of this State
to stand together—not so mnch for mere
party interests as in behalf of every great
interest of society, including that of the
negroes themselves. —Tel. and Mess.

The ‘Tidal Wave,* iscreating quite a sen

Mr. James Yarbrough of Lumpkin died

Andrew Female College is being renova

We clip the following from the Gains-
Arrested. — (Tn bunefay last’ * a squad oi
United States soldiers passed through here
on their way to Atlanta, having in charge
as prisoners W. 0. Alley and his son Thom
as, Wm. Oaks, Alfred Stovall, K. 0. Hunt,
and John Satterfield, all citizens of White
county, who had been arrested, some char
ged with illicit distilling, and others with
crimes, the precise nature of which we
could not learn. Since the above arrests
were made we learn four others—G. Hen«
derson and his son and two of the young
Satteifields—have been arrested and are
also being carried to Atlanta. The trouble
is supposed to have originated mainly in a
lawsuit between two citizens of the county,
in which much bad feeliug was engendered,
which gradually spread until the whole
neighborhood became involved. For some
time past the bitterest feeling has prevail
ed and several assassinations attempted.
One of the parties applied to the United
States authorities for assistance, which re
sulted in the arrest of the parties named
above.
Col. Styles, editor of the Albany News
has returned home.
One of the Macon Boat Clubs, think they
will take the delapidated linen off of the

The Macon Ciiizen, proposes Col. Tom
Hardeman, for Gov., and says he is an able

spoil the position to which his friends
would assign him.
Old John Gorman, the ‘walkist* says a
great deal of damage has been done to the
railroads and bridges about Macon, by the
recenl heavy rains. We presume that
John has beeo trying the dirt road, on foot
between Talboton and Macon. ■

Dio Lewis does not believe iri cod liver
oil and whisky for consumption. He tells
ns that consumption is a disease of the
system, which is specially developed in
the lungs by exhausts the gener
al vitality that the cure is to be found
in a cold, bracing climate, exercise in the
open air, vigorous friction of tiro skin, a
very plain, nutritious, unstimulatiug diet,
with cold water drink, plenty of sunshine,
sleep and a hopeful, bravo temper. ‘With
such treatment, and an utter abandonment
of drugs, whisky, cod liver oil, and other
kindred barbarisms, one-half of all who
die of consumption would live on, and ma
ny with largo ulcers in their lungs would
recover.*
French Courage —A splendid story is
told of Marshal MacMahon when a colonel.
During a parade he had an altercation with
an officer in the ranks, who refused to obey
him. MacMahon finally threatened the
offender, and the latter, drawing a pistol,
took deliberate aim and fired. H'ortunate
ly the cap suapped. Without the slight
est si*gn of fear, cool and impassible, Mac-
Mahon said, ‘Give that man fifteen days
in the guard house for having his arms out
of order.*
