THE SAVANNAH RivRR,
The Wheless Creates a Sensation
The Trade.

The steamer w. T. Wheless, Captain
Gibson, arrived yesterday morning on her
hrst down trip from Augusta, bringing q
large list Of passengers and heavy freight,
including six hundred and sixty five bales
OF cotton. The calliope, which could be
heard for miles, was the signal for the
gathering of thousands of people along the
banks Of the river to welcome the new boat
on her trip up and down. With
the improvement of the river we may
expect large feet of such boats, which
will make the Savannah look as
1t did In the days before the advent OF rail
roads, when the river was the great artery
through which passed the freights for the
then rapidly settling territory that now COM
prises Cherokee Georgia, and the great
States of Alabama and Tennessee, and also
upper Carolina. Augusta was then q great
trading town, noted for its wealth and bust
ness. Cheap freights by river and her
splendid railway connections, viii in q few
years make her again the great distributing
point Tor this immense area, which, with her
unparalleled water power, will place her
first In rank among Southern cities. But we
must first have that five feet of water from
Savannah to Augusta.

The Election To.Dav

The election for Mayor and Aldermen OF
the city Of Savannah to serve for the next
two years will take place to-day, and it Is
to be hoped that it will pass of quietly and
pesceablY. While there is more than
usual interest taken in the campaign and
considerable feeling exists, there is no
occasion to anticipate any trouble, though
ample arrangements to preserve good
order have been completed. In addi-
ton to a large detail of the police force,
there will be number of Deputy Sheriffs at
the polls, and disorderly or turbulent char
acters will be promptly arrested.
There will be as stated, four boxes, and
as the total registration scarcely exceeds
1900, and the probability is that not much
over $500 votes will be polled, there will be
no necessity for crowdiDg. and the voting
can progress rapidly and quietly.

The MayOraltv COntest-A Few Last
Words

WORDS
SAVANNAH, January I8.-BditOr Mornino
News: To-day the citizens of Savannah will
decide the question which has been promi-
nent in the public mind for some days past,
viz: Whether Mr.. D. G. Purse shall be our
future Mayor, or whether Captain John F.
Wheaton shall enter upon his third term.
In commenting for the last time the reg
ular Democratic ticket headed by Mr..
Purse, | will omit saying anything about
the duty of Democrats to accord him, as the
regular Democratic nominee, their support
This Is subject with which every DE- mocrat
in Savannah is sufficiently familiar. What
l propose now is simply to recall to mind
the advantage which will certainly result
from his election to the people of Savannah
as citizens.
Every effort of Mr.. Purse for the last four
years has been directed towards freeing the
city from her financial difficulties without
the faint of dishonor, to raising her credit
to standard worthy of the first South At
lantic cotton port, and to accomplishing all
this with a. reduction of taxation.
All the financial ability of which
he is the acknowledged possessor
has been devoted to these ends, and
every citizen of our city knows how well
he has succeeded, in spite of determined
opposition. Now If Savannah is to take
the high position in future which her friends
hope and anticipate, it is of prime necessity
that her credit and financial standing shall
be unimpeachable. To this happy condition
she has but recently reached. She mag
maintain it under the administration of
Captain Wheaton and his Aldermanic
ticket. She certainly 1gW maintain 1t IL Mr..
Purse and the Democratic ticket is success
full, for the motto of his administration will,
We feel assu ed, be ''city credit as high, and
taxation as low, as possible"
No one has greater respect for Captain
Wheaton than the writer, and dare affirm
that no one who will vote against him to-
day viii entertain anything like hostile feel
ing towards him personally. He can, how
ever, retire from his second term of office
standing high in the esteem of his fellow
citizens, while the public welfare will be
undoubtedly greatly promoted by the sue
cess OF Mr.. Purse. For these reasons alone
this gentleman will, as be should, receive
to day the ballots of hundreds Of the regis
tered voters of the city who have her well
fare al heart, and among them that of your

throughout. 1t is dedicated to Right Rev.

liking Gambrinus Waltz, by Mr.. T. A.
Warth, OF Savannah, Ca, and published by
Hitchcock, New York, is pleasing little
composition. There is nothing over-am-
bilious In 1t, but the composer seems to
have attained what he attempted by writing
a pretty effective little waltz"
