Brewing Between the whites
and Black in Georgia.


Beecher returned to Plymouth
Church yesterday and met his congre-
CATION at weekly prayer meeting last
night. DEMONSTRATIONS had been
banned but were abandoned at Mr..
Beecher's wish.
A dispatch frcm J~ohnsboro, Ga. re-
ports that trouble is brewing between
he whites and blacks, growing cut of
the conviction and sentence OF George
Spier, a negro, to be hanged for out
raging a white girl. Subsequent to
his conviction, another negro, who had
committed "a similar crime, was found
dead, and Spier's friends claim that he
is innocent and that both crimes We're
committed by the dead negro. Tues
day night the armory of the militia
company was broken into and twenty
one guns distracted. Twenty of them
were afterward found hidden in the
school house belonging to the colored

Grant has Beer Making a speech
what it Costs 10 Keep up Conn
municatiOn with Alasxa.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2.
A Washington special says Grants
lengthy speech at Des Moines is con-
strued in but one way among nearly
all classes of politicians, and that is
that he does not return to private life
IN 1876. The speech was not particu-
larly called for, as he has remained 81
lent on a good many more important
occasions. lie has also been slowly
making his cabinet over in compliance
with the popular standard. In his
" opinion he is one OF the few states
men of the age, and he believes that
the entire country rests upon his
shoulders. lie has latterly, in conve
sation with his friends, indicated al in
terest in public affairs that denotes a
great change in his mind. No one in
the past has ever carried the burdens
of the Presidential office easier. He
has been absent from this city ever
since the middle of May, this year,
and will not return here until the mid
die OF October. During his absence he
has attended to nothing but the petty
routine of small appointments, and
has really had less care upon his mind
than average Treasury clerk.
In General Howard's recent report
to the Wa Department On our possess
sion's in Alaska, it is shown that the
Government 10 pays thirty six thou
sand dollars per annuIn for twelve
monthly trips of a mail steamer be-
tween Port Townsend, or Portland,
Oregon, and the port of Sitka, in
Alaska. This gives the half-doZen
Official individuals of that place the
sole benefit of this expenditure OF the
part OF the Government, and is an ex-
ceeding injustice to the Inhabitants of
Kodak, Bolkosku, Onalaska, Unga and
st. Mlchaels, all of which have a thou
sand times more trade than Sitka, and
the first three villages have twice the
population of the town IN question.
This thirty-six thousand dollars per
annum, now literally wasted, would
run a small revenue steamer, and in
stead of being any draw on the treas
ury would result in law, order and
protection.
