We had the pleasure of attending the Savannah Fair last week, »nd s -eaking from actual experience, we pro- ounce i a complete success, eclipsM-g, by far, any other thing of th» knd ever held withi» the boundary lines of the old Empire State. There were more people present, and, we are reliably informed, the entries far <x ceded those of tt*.- Ptat Fai r. The grounds of the Industrial Association a e not ytt c mplete, th -t, however, proved no dr v back to the Exposition ae they were »m --ply competei-tjo insu- e the entire success of the fair. The race track, though rather heavy at present, is a magnificent one> and by the aid of a little improvement, wil rank among the finest in the country. The exhibi ion halls are very large an-1 commodious, and during the fair were chock-a-block with every variety of man ufactured and other art cles. A greaternum of catch p nny shows in one local ty, we dc’,l rem- mbei to ever have seen, wh le other places of ; musemen' and money ma king were in superabundance. Everybody was there and everybody < Ise, and where so much was to be seen how can we be expect ed to tell all. some few r;>ces took place during our stay, which were sp rited. A foot race between Indian w rriorswas also a feature of the fair. Westou, the walkist, showed the people how to tramp, making five miles in an hour, a half mile of the distance backwards. Two of the bes bands in the Counr'y were in attendance Well, to sum the whole thing up—as w e are rn a hurry—t was a big thing, and we wish to remark, hurrah for the Savannah Fair. The Editorial Attendants at the Fair- While at the fair last week, weof course were a constant visitor at the “editors home** at the fair grounds, and we will now try and give an accout of the press gang where we went. The first “Captain of the pm” whom we that beautiful 'sun shade, knowu as Harris, of the News. He wa navigating erratically around one of the exhibition halls, looking as if lie w s hunt ing a Good Templat’s Lodge, but feeling as he expressed it—as if he had either been run over by a cart or kicked by a mule.— Harris is one of the best fellows in the world, aod deserves to live as long as we do. J. Jt. Christian, editor of the Lump* kin Telegraph, and whole sale dealer in live rabbits, was also ou band. Gorman—yes, that man Gorman, he was to the fair too, as was a)sb Christian, of the Cuthberi Appeal. Those young orphans, Frank Evans and Charley Pendleton were jerked into the editor’s saloou by Gentry of the News, at the same lime we were. Captain Davis, of the Lake City Press, we also had the pleasure of meeting. Os the Savannah gang J. H. - Fstill Esq , Col W. T. Thompson), of the News,Messrs Beard and Kimball, of the Advertiser and L&motteof the Republican, we bad the good fortune to take by the baud. Legislator Proceedings. —The members «f the Legislature havefir.aMy concluded to let their per diem, remain at niue collars per day. Just as we expected. The bill to repeal the act organizing the District court has been passed. The bill to repeal Akerman** obnoxious •lection law has passed. The repeal of this law provides for an election to be held in each precinct in the different counties, as hereafter, and not exclusively at the county town. The bill to-authorize married women in this Stat«) to sue for the recovery of a pen alty in the nature of damages against any person selling spiritous liquors to the hus bund of the plaintiff while intoxicated, and making one hundred dollars the liquidated damages, in such cases, which shall be the •ole property of the wite. Passed by a vote of yeas 15, nays 12. The Legislature has decided to take a recess on the sth cf December, to llih Jan nary, and then to* meet to inaugurate the Governor elected and wind up unfinished business. A Bill to allow maimed soldiers and blind persons to peddle without license has been passed. Binnnnxis Factory.—We call special attention to the advertisement of W. D* G. Tonge, the en. ergetic manager of the Bainbridge Factory, The Bainbridge Factory guarantees to furnish to merchants and planters of Southern Geo<gia, goods at much cheaper rates, than they can be purchased at in Northern markets Patronize Home Institution, and thereby build up ths manufacturing interest of our own State We commend the Bainbridge Factory to the merchant* of bouthern Ga. and hope he will be patronized.

A Wrong Move. —The telegraph informed Ugbatuiday nightfftat die Democratic rmnr,- bers of the Legislature were about, to bold a caucus to dt ternrne on the propriety -of their making ;l nomination for governor* Tire is a false step. Two or tim e weeks ago, when they had the implied consent of the people to* their making a nomination, they deebn* dto act. We believe there would have been a general acquiesce nee “In their action* Now it is too late. A cob vention has l-ecn called by au'hoiity, by—a body that had the eXclrnive right to siil one, for they w< tv the chosen repreaeuta*. tives aud «p< k-smen of the party, and any step igworin their action is both i.rreglar and wrong While there was doubt at* to w hat should be d-<ne, the D mocratic legis lators might have acted, but now that* authoritative appointment has been made, lh* y cannot act, either with a proper res pect to tint state Executive Committee, or without serious confusion. L t th p. ople throughout the Stateigo to work at once and appoint delegates to the Convention on the 6t?t proximo; ?w|jen this shall be found inconvenient fcon» a**; shortness of time, let the counties request their rt pre»« htatives in the Legislated lo act as delegates. This plan will secure a full Convention and preclude all conflicts and mißundeistanding.-«Sav Repulicau.
