SAVANNAH, Ca Jan. 8, 1895
how THE ARIsroCRACY or SAVANNAH LIVE
Affairs in this city remain quiet and unchanged. The
excitement necessarily attending the occupation Of the
town by hostile force has, In great measure, died
away and the sensible portion OF the people accept
the order of things with commendable degree Of
resignation and exhibit desire TO aid In the establish
ment of stable government once or there
are large number Of the Inhabitants who in their feeble
way prevent the better inclined from lending
to the government hearty support This class pretend
to claim connection with the aristocracy 1t
res its head high and It's upturned in the presence
Of soldiers scarcely deignng TO glance any Of them

transaction for the arisocracy financially Thoy

when the greenbacks begin to Goat in. All this false
pride WILL doubtless, wear away in good time Our SOL
