Got. Colquitt.
To-day wc place at our mast-head
the name of Gov. Colquitt. While
no nomination was made for Gover¬
nor by the two-thirds rule, a large
majority expressed a desire lor the
Governor to remain in office. Our
county we believe is strongly in
favor of this gentleman and if they
were not the great redaction of
taxes and a large saving to the State
woald be enough to make tlto peo
stand to the cause of right and
justice at home.
There is always opposition to all
aspirants for office, if the office is
one of any importance whatever,
bat wc believe now, that in an
office concerning the State, that the
willof the people ahould be sub*
minted to, that is a majority of the
people.
We hope after this that the two
thirds rule may rest as a thing
the past. The Democratic party
can longer hold together on it, and
if they should attempt any such,
that a glorious victory may be
achieved by the opponents of this
noble old party.
Believing that if wrong we are
entitled to a voice on this subject,
as well as letting 'all know where
we stand.
St. Simon’s Correspondent in the
Brunswick Advtrtuer: “In the dig

b redenca, several bones .petrified
an old sword considerably rusted,
and a few old bottles, were found.
V\ hen occupied by Oglethorpe,

pose it was filled, and by accident
the present occupant. Mr. Chaffinch,
happened to dig for water at the
same point. ir. ( halfinch squared
off ten feet and In the middle of this
square he found the remains of a
brick wall in a state of perfect pre¬
servation, The bottom also was
covered with brick. There were
what are called filter holes at the
bottom of the wall for the ingress of
water into the well. Several such
wells have been dug into on the
Frederica site within the past ten
years. This was the plan adopted by
Oglethorpe for constructing wells,
but not kept up by any body since
his time. The military road cutout
and used by Gen. Oglethorpe from
Frederica, almost directly east, to the
point now known as the Village, is
still plainly visible. It is straight
as and errnw and graded. From
best sources of information, this rood
must have been built in 1730 or
1737."
It has leaked out that the two
Republican members of the New
York Police Board intend, at the
next meeting, to submit a proposi¬
tion for the appointment of col- red
men on the police force. The sim¬
ple fact that such a thing is con¬
templated has created considerable
excitement among the people of
the city, and vigorous protests
against any such recognition of
civil rights are being made. The
Police Board consists of four mem¬
bers—two Republicans and two
Democrats. The Democrats charge
that tire Republicans are not honest
in the movement, but that it is a
“deep design” to solidify the colored
vote of New York city and State for
the Republican ticket. If the two
Democratic Commissioners vote
against the proposition, and no
douhtthey will, then it must be de¬
feated. The opponents of the
proposition say its adoption would
break up the force, as the whiles
would leave it rather than serve
with negroes.
When the know nothing mania
wns at itsheighth in Indiana, where,
for a time, it carried all before it.
Hon. Wm. H. English, now the
Democratic canidate fur Vice Pres¬
ident, came out boldly and de¬
nounced it as a dangerous and es¬
sentially un-American heresy. He
did this, too, not only at the risk of
his political future, but of life itsilf.
He won the fight and contributed
not a little to extermination of the
movement ih his State. Citisens
foreign birth will doubtless be quick
to recogniie the debt of grat itude they
owe him for his fearless advococy
of their cause, and will hasten to
discharge it in November next
General Weaver, the Greenback
candidate for President, said in an
interview in Wheeling, Inst Sunday,
that “half has not been told of the
stories of bulldoxing and fraud in
the South.” He made this asser¬

interest They have contributed
too largely to the great interest of
the white people in the South for
them to be against the colored
population. The Democratic party,
however, is decidedly and uncom¬
promisingly againBt the Republican
party to which the colored people
declare most positively they belong.
If our colored friends are opposed
by the white people, it is only as
Republicans not as colored people.
The white people of the South
never can become Republicans, but
the colored people ean become
Democrats. The white people have
nothing to make by becoming Re¬
publicans, but the colored people
can make everything by becoming
Democrats.
The Democrats have so great a
majority that they can always hold
the power of the State Government
The colored people can be on good
terira with the white people and al¬
ways keep them os their friends by
becoming Democrats and haye a
voice in the government. We can¬
not be Republicans because that
party is corrupt, and is attempting
to make a government strong enough
to do without the votes of whites or

interest of our colored friends. Our
counsel to those who are on the
Lord’s side has been, “not to med¬

advice to our friends have been die

Hmal’est Married Unupie in the
World.
Germany can bouet of having pro¬
duced probaoly the smallest mar¬
ried couple that ever stood before on
altar, in the persons of a minuturc
“Marquis” and Marchioness,” who
have for some time past been ex¬
hibited on the Place du Theatre at
Odessa. The “Marquis," a native
of Keil, is thirty years old, ar d
weighs only nineteen pounds
while his escort, a young lady, born
in Neumtmster some two and twenty
years ago, just turns the scale at
thirteen pounds. A certain plea¬
sant thread of romance runs through
the story of the circumstances that
led to their union. Although they
are both German born wonders,
leased by their parents to travel¬
ing showmen at an early age, they
never happened to meet at the fairs
and Kermesseu of their native land ;
but, a year ago, the “Marquis”
being on exhibition ut Moscow,
while Fraulien Lilia was starring at
St- Petersburg, they became aware
of one another's existence through
reading the newspaper notices of
their respective characteristics, and
entered into a correspondence,
which soon led to a rendexvous,
and ultimately to their marriage.
Now they take their professional
rounds together, and are saving up
tlieir earnings with the object of re
tiring into private life in the Father¬
land.
A heavy freight train plunged
into Savannah without engiueer or

through the depot at the rate of

gates, brick walls, trees, and crossed
streets in its course, wrecking the
entire train. No one was hurt.
The engineer had discovered a
train ahead of him three miles
from the his city, train reversed his engine,
started back, and per¬
ceiving that he was still going to
be run into, sprang off. The ap¬
proaching engine collided with
the retracting one with a severe
shock, but did not throw it from
the track. It swept into the city
at a terrific rate, frightning people
