IMPORTANT ACTION OF THE SAVANNAH BOARD OF
DEMONSTRATIONS of Factor and Planter.-The times
have proved too hard for the honesty of Georgia
and Florida Planters well for that of many of the
Gulf States Factors of New Orleans have their fell
low sufferers in distress i'll Savannah. At a recent
session of the Board of Trade of that city preamble
and resolutions of much Importance were introduced
and adopted. We quote from the Savannah Republi-
can:
As set forth in the preamble, during this season
many planters have received credit from factors and
now in many instances bad faith has resulted, and the
planter has not sent bis cotton to his factor and
deemed his promises but sold it elsewhere. Under
these circumstances many factors have lost heavily,
and unless something is done in the premises the rela
tons which have heretofore existed between planter
.i.,d factor will become void and the factor will ne
cessarily be suspicious of the planter who comes to
him to borrow money The resolutions provide that
each factor report the of every planter who has
thus acted in bad faith and each merchant the
ola country merchant who has broken faith with him :;
and that list of such persons be kept for the Of
the Board in order that they may know those who
unworthy of being trusted This will place those
planters who have acted thus meanly towards the fac
tor in predicament and thus their action recoils up
on themselves and by this means the honest planter
who bias paid his debts is made suffer with the
man who has acted honest, straightforward
The action suggested is probably not too a
punishment, and will doubtless prove a preventive.
But this black list business is nseparable from the
tamperings of private grievances or malice.

to be done Agitation must not cease 1t IL
this alone that can create such public senti.
ment as shall make equal laws practical re.
atty It is this alone that can make pas
conquests secure. Much more is it needed in
urging forward new reforms. Nv -
To say nothing OF reforms that are urgently
demanded in taxation, in our civil service, and
in our commercial regulations, there is one
great work which the party OF progress cannot
consistently refuse to undertake. The De lar.
alton of Independence has been prevented
from becoming practical reality not only by
an arts tocracy OF color but by an aristocracy OF
sex. Twin relics of harbarism, they are equal
ly odious in principle, though the aristocracy
of color has been far more oppressive IN pfac-
tice. This has been swept away by the serohs
current of an advancing civilization, Dut une
aristocracy of sex is still deeply rooted IN pup
lie oninion and in the customs OF society. Inc
ballot has been given to the negro To give it
to women will be but another step in the same
liroction. II is needed to make our social fab
rio symmetrical and complete. Conservatism
will shrek and make every effoI t to retard the
movement, But the impulse it has received is
too powerful to be resisted. The mission OF
the Republican party will never be complete
until in all this broad land equal rights shall
be enjoyed without distinction of race, color or
sex.

In New York city the Republicans make
steady gains every Presidential contest In
1856 they gave Fremont 17,771 votes; in 1860,
they gave Lincoln 1920; in 1860 they gave
Lincoln 86,6S1: il 1868 they gave Grant 4777s
Six thousand rum-sellers in New York gave
their votes and those of eighteen thousand
others whom they controlled to Seymour.
Thirty thousand voters in New York act
with the Democracy because they believe that
Republicans are not so tolerant of vice as the
Copperheads.
Reverdy Johnson's endorsement of Grant
came altogether too late. Does the venerable
toady expect that he can retain his place I'M
der the new administration by his eleventh
| hour repentance.
81. Tilden denies that he issued the wick
ed circular to which we referred yesterday.
Grant is forty sig years old and Coxfax a
year younger.
1t appears that in some sections Of Virginia
the whites really went through the farce of
voting for Presidential electors. They had
full ticket of ten names, and ballots were cast
at Alexandria, Lynchburg, and pro badly some
other points. How many were polled and by
whom received and counted is not yet ascer-
tanned. ara .ff . av.. ..l..
Brick Pomeroy still rides the high horse and
says that the next Congress has placed before
it the alternative oftaxing the bonds or repu-
diaton.
The report that Andy proposes to veto the
election of Grant lacks confirmation. STILL we
may expect another illumination from the
White House, indicating that the occupant
(pro tenn considers the election of a military
chieftain fatty unconstitutional. Let it take
the form of letter to Seymour, and let him
come down to Tammany and make a speech
about it. The supply of stump Oratory seems
to have been suddenly exhausted By all
means, let Frank Blair tell us bow Grant is
ever to be got out of the White House after he
one gets in. Let's have the matter ventilated
somehow-anyhow.- Y. Tribune -. -.
Iowa isn't bad State considering how far
ont West it is. The chairman of the Republic
can State Committee telegraphs thus:l
Twenty one counties give 81 900 Republican
majority, a gain of 400. We shall have not
less than $4,000 in the State. The suffrage
amendment is adopted by over 10000 majority
Iowa Republicans are not afraid OF niger
equality. We claim to be the banner State of
the West if not of the Union. The rebel de-
eat here is as overwhelming as the overthrow
OF the apostate angels. N. -N 1T" .af
As the editor of the Somerset Reporter was
going home election night he heard two Dem
ocrats discussing matters in this way: 'We'd
a Id sight better not have gone to town
meetin than vote as we did" where in
HI would we be then," replied the other.
"Where in HI are we now!" exclaimed the
first
