.DgnoCRATrc CONFERENCE.

II is proposed to hold a conference OF
Democratic Congressman and a numoer
Of the leading members OF the party IN
the country, at Washington, soon after
New Year, to consider the situation ana
outline a policy. The suggestion is i'd
mirable. 1t is to be hoped that the idea
will he carried out. A frank, full inter
change of opinions on great public ques-
tions would do good. 1t would clear
away a deal OF old rubbish and get rid OF
the vague generalities and confusing non
sense which enter too largely into our
n~olitics. A free and full consideration
of the real facts of the political situa-
ton and the practical issues before the
country would result inevitably in draw
inc new lines Of distinction between the
two great parties, and giving the prom
inence to public measures which oil late
vears has been too much usurped by
men. What the people want to know is
what democrat and Republican
stand for in our political vocabulary.
The historical meanings OF these words
are clear enough, but what do they actu-
ally 81 Nifty to-day? To-day we ind
both parties more or less disintegrated.
On no single public question is 1T possible
to draw the old lines aud bring out the
full force of either party. This TACT
shows that both parties need readluss-
ing to the actual situation OF the coun-
try and recognizing on more solid, prao-
teal grounds. Let the Democrats take
the initiative in this movement, and.helr
~opponents will be swift to follow such an
excellent precedent. A representative
Democratic conference, not too large
would be an interesting and important
assembly, especially if it were free from
the barnacles and fossils who survived
the war and have encountered the move
ments of the party and distracted Its
%counsels ever since. One thing wanted
by that party to-day more than ever Is
recognized leadership. 1t has men
enough of character and brains-men
like Bayard, Pendleton. Lamar, Thur
man. Beck and Hendricks and Seymour
but not one of them is recognized as a
leader by any considerable following out
of his own State. 1t has shrewd man.
ayers, but managers follow and utilize
political sentiment after it has been
made. But leaders whom the people
recognize and follow are scarce every
where, and hard to be got in a party
which is specially jealous of and sensi-
tive to personal dictation. But without
recognized leadership a party will always
be more or less chaotic and drift at the
mcrcy of circumstances.

Nearly Run Over.

Two young fellows were cavorting around
yesterday afternoon, one on a very goat
like mustang and the other on a mule
about the size of a California pumpkin.
They had lots of circus fun, but came
very near doing a harm that they would
have remembered many q long day. They
made a sharp turn around the Courthouse
corner while some little girls were cross
ing the street and had come close to the
pavement. All except one OF them jumped
back quickly and ran away, but little
Louisa Loschenkohl had gone too far for
ward to get back in time. The mus
tang did not actually strike her,
but came so near running over her that
she was very much frightened and fell
down in the street crying. In less than q
minute a half dozen angry men, who had
been standing by and bad seen the occur
renee, came up to see il the little girl was
hurt and to speak their minds to the cir
Gus riders, who had ridden back to see II
they had done any harm. Inasmuch as
the little lady sustained no injury worse
than a bad scare the excitement abated
directly. Moral: Look about you when
you are riding q mustang or a mule; and,
children, do not tarry on the street cross
ings.

The Salt Lake Tribune has the follow
ing to say Of Mr.. Blaine's retirement as
Secretary Of State "When President
Garfield gave the portfolio Of the State
Department to James G. Blaine, a great
many careful thinkers throughout the
country, while fully acknowledging the
appropriateness of the compliment,
doubted the wisdom Of the appointment.
A shrewd man here was asked what the
result would be. His answer was !:
Blaine will hit at the first head that
shows itself. II the head deserves to be
hit. Blaine will be all right; if not, he
will make trouble He held the place
for some eight or nine months. and we
believe it Is fair to say that the New
York Herald echoed the sentiment of
the country when it said 1T is with
a feeling of relief that the countrylearns
that James G. Blaine has retired from
the Office of Secretary q State No
one doubts Mr.. Blaine's abilities. few
doubt his unselish patriotism; but his
prominence before the country has en-
abled his countrymen to see that it is
with him as with other men--high sta
ton does not change prominent traits OF
character. When a poor young man
James G. Blaine was selfish and am.
bilious to an inordinate degree. If sue
cess has made him less selfish it has
only fed his ambition. If as Secretary
OF State he had concluded that a foreign
war was necessary to secure to him the
nomination for President he would have
brought on the war. He has the mind
of an attorney rather than that of a
Judge, and when he espouses one side OF
a cause, as he always does. the equities
of the other side he leaves for his ad-
versaries to present, and never troubles
himself about them. It is easy to see
how possible it would have been under
him to involve the United States in a
trouble with Chill, out of which there
could have been for our nation neither
glory nor gain. and worse still, the vim
dication of no principle. Mr.. Blaine's
heart would break if he thought
he would never be President of
the United States. In nursing that
dream he wrongs himself. His place is
in the House Of Representatives. He
made a great mistake in ever leaving
there, and in ever wanting to leave. As
a leader Of the House he is a king, and
he has no realm but that"

The Theatre.

Milton Mobiles Combination appeared last
evening at the Theatre to very fine audi
dience, Including crowded family circle and
gallery, in the thrilling melo-drama entitled
"The Phenix," which was produced here
last season, and received with great favor.
The play was most excellently presented,
In fact we may say was never
better produced in Savannah, as Mr.. Mobiles
has succeeded in securing first class com
pany in every respect. The entire cast was
good, and in no particular was there any,
thing ct which the most carpiBg could
find fault. The character of the play is so
familiar to our readers, especially our
theatre patrons, that we consider it unDec-
essary to give even synopsis of it. Suffice
1t that 1t was presented with all
its scenic effects and tsbleaux In
the very best style. We may,
however, say few words In regard to the
characters. As Carroll Graves" and Jim
Bludsoe," Mr.. Mobiles, the author of the
play, was fully up to all the requirements,
and gave a natural, easy and eff
fective rendition of the charac-
tere, eliciting the heartiest applause,
and received the high compliment of three
recalls before the curtain. Miss Fannie
Lewis Burt, as ''5adie," the flower giIl,
aIterWarQS EIne EmOre,' the actress, was
charming. She is pretty, graceful young
lady and a clever little actress, who won
all hearts by her piquancY and naturalness.
Miss Dolly Woodbine SIS ''Katie Moran"
was bewi'ching, and as the "Wisconsin
Capitalist" showed a dash and graceful
abandon that won all hearts and gained for
her the heartiest applause. Mr.. Alonzo
Schwartz as 'sMoses Solomons" was the
veritable jolly Jew, and is entitled to the
palm as giving the best representation of
that character seen on our boards. He was
voted a trump, as sure as he is IAN
honest man." Mr.. Williard's "Tom Fergus"
was excellent-considered throughout could
not be better-and ''Leslie Blackburn" by
Mr. Herbert, was very good. Mr.. Barnum
may have been specially created for
Ike Pidgeon," so capitally did he
represent that respectable citizen
of the Eixth ward" of New York,
and Mr.. Sam Z. Ryan's "Dionysius O'Gall"
was perfect. In brief, the entire cast was
excellent, and the play was presented IN
manner that afforded entire satisfaction to
the audience.
This afternoon it will be repeated at a
matinee, and tonight the company take
their farewell, when a companion piece, "a
Man of the People," will be presented.

Extension of the Weather Bureau
System,

We had the pleasure of meeting yester
day Lieutenant John Mcclellan, of the
United States Signal Service, who arrived
Sunday from Augusta. He is on an official
tour OF inspection In the South, the object
of which, we understand, is to select proper
stations along the line of railroads where
the tempe sture of the weather, and the
amount of rainfall each day when there is
any, will be carefully recorded by the rail-
road telegraph OPERATOR, transmitted to
specified centres, and thence, through gov
eminent agents, to Savannah, Charleston,
Mobile, New Orleans, New York, and other
designated places, where cotton buyers and
factors do business on an extensive scale.
Each of the auxiliary stations will be
equipped with the most accurate thermome-
tiers and rain gauges, and everything done
to make the reports perfectly reliable and
systematic. The original reports will be
sent to the headquarters of the respective
railroad superiniendents, tabulated, and
thence transmitted to the government re-
representatives..
The movement is strongly Endorsed by
all the cotton exchanges throughout the
South, and also In New York. The infor-
nation will be sent free over the railroad
lines, but the government will have to pay
the telegraph companies for whatever It
sends from the government stations to the
respective cotton centres.

The annual masquerade ball Of the Savan-
nah Turnverein took place last evening,
at st. Andrews Hall, and was very bril-
liant AMI successful affair. The hall
was beautifully decorated with flags of
the various nations gracefully intertwined,
whilst the walls were adorned with
amusing caricRtures representing fun
and jollity. Although the weather
was Indictment, the large hall was
tbronged, and nearly every one was In
mask. Some of the costumes, especially
those worn by the ladies, were beautiful,
unique and elegant, and many of the male
costumes were very handsome. The number
and variety of characters repre-
scented precludes the possibility Of
mentioning all, but among the
best were a spanish senorita. Might"
"Purity,i' "Golden Fleece" Daughter of

evs. - s'Fools. % 'fClowns, !" "Acrobats," and
many others. The latter afforded infinite
amusement by their feats of agility on the
floor and exhibitions of gymnastic skill.
The committee are to be congratulated
upon the success OF their Dali, Whlch was
one of the best of many successful ones
given by the Turnverein. At IL O'Clock
there was a general unmasking, and
much fun followed. Particularly no.
ticeable In the throng was q Chris
tidn citizen, robed in white, Dightcap
on head, who was hunting ''for his wife"
After the unmasking, the grand march
was played and the party forming in process
sion, made a circuit of the hall and proceed
ed to the supper room above,
where an excellent feast was spread,
prepared by Mr.. Bartel. After
Justice had been done this, the ball room
was again sought and the pleasures con-
tinued until late hour, apd thus closed the
annual masquerade ball of the Savannah

The trouble in the First African Baptist
Church, familliarly known as Campbell's
Church, which resulted in considerable liti-
cation, two parties claiming possession Of
the edifice, is again to be investigated. 1t viii
be remembered that when the case was up
In the Superior Court some time since, Judge
Fleming dismissed the complaint, and the
case was carried to the Supreme Court, where
the decision was reversed and cause remand
ed for new trial. The case was called up
yesterday afternoon, and the result was an
Immense gathering of the colored folks at
the court house. The gallery and corri-
doris were packed, and the body of the
court room invaded, rendering 1t necessary
for the Sheriff to appoint bailiff to keep
the crowd back. After waiting a half hour
or so for a tardy juror, the case was con-
tinued until this morning, and the vast
crowd slowly aud in disappointment dis
persed. The suit involves the title and con-
troll Of the church property, and per conse-
quence the congregation, which is divided
on the subject of the rights of the parties
litigant, are deeply interested.

A RamOrsa Suicide Proves a Hoax.

On Sunday afternoon we learn that con-
siderable commotion and excitement was
occssloned in Ecertain locality in the
southwestern portion of the city by the re-
port that a very estimable and popular
young lady in the neighborhood, in a mo-
ment Of mad frenzy consequent upon q
quarrel with her betrothed lover,
had gone to the canal with the
intention Of drowning herself. The young
lady was not at home, and the fears OF her
parents being aroused by this terrible re-
port, they at once started to the canal, fol-
lowed By scores OF people, the terrible news
having been quickly circulated. On reach
ing the canal bridge, the excited party dis
covered in the distance lady and gentleman
placid canal, and all fastened forward to
interview them and ascertain If they had
seen anything of the misguided young lady,
whose fair form they expected to find
at the bottom OF the canal. On
approaching nearer to the couple
what was the establishment of father and
mother and excited friends to discover that
the couple were no other than the identical
lady for whose fate they were so solieitous,
and her intended husband, enjoying that
sweet converse of "two souls with but
single thought, two hearts that beat as
one" fENt !
When this dawned upon them they telt
like the little boy who was run over by a
calf, chad nothing to say" and looked de-
cidedly sheepish. Some in the crowd who
had anticipated lively sensation, were appa-
rently disappointed at the denouement
and endeavored to conceal their ehagrin.
The searching party returned home quite
crest-fallen, with the exception of the i'm
mediate family, who were delighted to find
the report hoax. 1t is suspected that the
report was first given In a spirit OF pure ma
liciousness by rejected lover OF the young
lady,
