heavy.
Senator Brown has again presented
hill donation of $50,000 to the State
University, and has succeeded in hav.-
ing his gift accepted by the trustees of
the institution,with but a single dissent
ing voice—Gen. Toombs opposing. It
will be remembered that this donation
was rejected at the last session of the
Legislature on account of the pro vis
ions and limitations which badgered
the tender. We supported the action
of the Legislature in its rejection of
Senator Brown’s gift, and hope that
at its next session the General Assem
bly will scutinize the terms and modi
fications of the new offer closely before
ftb acceptance is concurred in. If it is
a free gift to the Univeisity, unlimited
by conditions except such as will direct
he funds into the channel intended by
,he donor, then it should be accepted,
ut if the conditions are not of this
haracter, it should be again as prompt-
y rejected
before the nominating convention, where
we hope to see him made the nominee
of the great Democratic party of Geor
gia, and triumphantly inducted into the
gubernatorial chair.

MERCHANT TAILOR & DRAPER,
Suit has been brought against
the Georgia railroad for $10,000 for the
killing of a negro man near Devereaux,
Hancock county, last summer. Suit
was brought by Senator Tutt for the
wife of the deceased.
A dispatch from Washington,
dated the 4th inst., says the President
and party would leave for Florida on
Thursday. A special car has been
placed at the disposal of the party.—
They will go direct to Jacksonville, aad
expect to be absent about two weeks.
If Boynton is elected gov
ernor, Bullock will probably apply for
a judgeship endorsed by the ‘leading
Republicans of Spalding oounty”—
Conyers Weekly.
Then Boynton will have a chance
to pay him back by refusing to appoint
him.
THE MASS MEETING.
Pursuant to a call of the Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, the Democracy met in mass meet
mg on Tuesday the 3d inst., in Gray’s
Hall, for the purpose of selecting del
egates to the Gubernatorial Conven
tion to meet in Atlanta oa the 10th
inst.
Judge T. J. McElmurray, as a mem
ber of the Democratic Bxaoutive Com
mittee of Burke county, explained the
meeting. Capt. J. P. Thomas was
elected chairman, and T. D. Oliver,
Esq., requested to act as secretary.
Mr. J. H- Mackenzie offered the
following preamble and resolutions
which were seconded by Hon. E. A.
Perkins: '
mr The Swainfiboro Itemizer is
one of the handsomest, neatest and
spiciest weeklies that comes to our
office, and is yrdrth treble its subscrip-
on price, ar.a we are glad to know that
the \ people appreciate the efforts of
brother Sparks, and are
liberal support to their bright, enter
prising county paper. The Itemizer
has our congratulations for its success.
Some week or two ago we pub
lished and account of the annual mass
meeting of the spirits in Rose Hill cem
etery, at Macon, as witnessed and de
tail by a citizen of that city. Since
then we have seen an account in the pa
pers of another fellow who saw a terri
ble ghost, and now comes the Walton

advise those fellows to abandon its toe
free use, at least, until their neryes re
gain a healthy tone.
The Boynton papers have fallen
jtto the old rut, and are giving utter
ance to the same old whine. Communi
cations are now frequent in. the columus
of those papers, beginning, “I was iu-
different to Mr. Boynton until the pa

fore,
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Democracy of Burke, in mass meet
ing assembled, that Hon. J. J. Jones
is our first choice to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Governor
Stephens, and the delegates from this
county are instructed to support him
and urge his nomination by all honor
able means, so long as there shall be a
reasonable chance for his nomination.
Resolved, 2d, That recognizing in
Hon. A. O. Bacon, of Bibb, a true aud
tried Democrat, and faithful public of
ficer, it is the sense of this meeting that
in the event the name of Hon. J. J.
Jones should be withdrawn, Hon. A.
O. Bacon is our second choice for Goy-
ernor of Georgia.
After debate participated in by
Judges Lawson and, J. B. Jones and
Capt. Jackson, and two substitutes had
been offered and defeated, the resolu
tions were put to a vote and carried—
the preamble and first resolution being
carried unanimously, and the latter
having only a few dissenting voices
Upon motion of J. H. Mackenzie, the
chair was instructed to select twelve
names, the first six as delegates, and
the others to be alternates. The chair
appointed J. B. Jones, J. H. Macken
zie, R. Steiner, S. A. Gray, A. G.
Whitehead, and W. A. Wilkins, dele
gates, and '1 homas Quinney, G. 0

If the number of delegates present at

iess than six, those present are author
ized to cast the six votes of Burke
coun’y.
On motion the meeting adjourned

ation of Col.
Mr. Editor :—I beg space in your
paper to express the disapprobation
of the colored Republicans of the
remnv d of Mr. James Grubbs from
the office of Deputv Internal Reve
nue Collector at this place. The
appointing Dower at Washington
seem to entirely misunderstand the
colored Republicans, and a little
more such unwise policy will com
pletely destroy the party in Burke
county, and I think the time has
come when the white Democrats
and col Ted Republicans should
shake hands. Mr. James Grubbs
was doing his duty faithfully, and
acceptably to both white and color
ed, and his removal and the p'acing
of this man Beard in his place is
equally disagreeable to all. If L. M.
Pleasants thinks he can provide for
his whole family at our expense, he
will find himself badly mistaken. —
The colored people are not such
fools a« to wr.ut one of their color
appointed to office whether he is
competent or cot, and if the pres
ent policy of removing good officers
just to make way for Mr. Pleasants’
family is followed, we now warn him
that we will not support it.
It has been a matter of wonder
why the colored people io not sup
port papers published by colored
men The reason is because, usually
when a colored man starts a paper,
he seems think it is his duty to
abuse our white friends, which makes
hard feelings between the races. The
thinking colored people do not
agree with this policy, and therefore
will not support them. The worst of
this class of papers is the Savannah
Echo, which boasts that it is run
entirely by colored men, and which
has done more to create hard feelings
between tbe races than all other caus
es together. We take no pleasure in
seeing our white friends abused, and
the quicker these colored editors find
it out the better for them.
