S.va.nah Means BusIness.

Judge TiIlman, editor OF the Waycross
Reporter, was in Savannah recently In the
interest Of his lively journal, and his con-
victions, after interviewing our business
men, are thus expressed in his last issue
Savannah Is fully alive to her interest,
and will offer greater inducements than ever
to the merchants Of Southern Georgia and
Florida. She has entered upon new era,
and does not intend to be outdone by any
city North or South. Her merchants
are live set of men, and go upon the cor
rect principle Of large sales and small
profits. Merchants from the interior have
this very season gone to New York and re-
turned to Savannah to buy large proportion
OF their stock. This settles the question::
sWhy should Savannah not sell goods as
cheap SIS the Northern marketsY They can
and will. They buy from the same sources
Of purchase, local or by importation, and
will in future sell as low. They mean bus
iness."

Need Of 3 Col red ORDINANCE.


ElitOr Morning NeaOS: In your issue OF Sat
urdaY last read that two little negro boys
had been picked up by the police for sleep
in a doorway, and in the Sunday Telegram
noticed that these waits had been fined two
dollars each. These items are suggestive of
a provision to meet great need of the city
and county, to wit: an orphanage for col
ored children. We have for white orphans
Bethesda and the Catholic Orphansge at
Washington, Wilkes county, for boys, and
the Female Asylum, the Episcopal Orphans
Home, aud the White Bluff Catholic Asy-
lum for girls; but, as / am advised, no pro-
vision whatever exists for the care and train
ing of colored orphans, although the colored
people are nearly a half of the population
OF Savannah. The colOred citizens nave for
some time past been al work In the effort to
raise funds for their race orphanage, but
with little encouragement, so far as we
learn, their means being small, as we
know, and not adequate to meet the
calls of their beneVoleLc3. A few whites
have given small sums also to the object
from charity. This is well in fits way, but
there is an obligation, 1t seems TO me, on
the city and county to assist In this needed
work as a matter of duty to the community
X
properly educate the eolored orphans and
fit them for usefulness in our social system,
we shall be compelled to enlarge our all
aud incur heavy expenses for criminal trials;
expenses that would, If applied to the pur-
pose, build two or three Orphanages. This
is no speculative theory, but simple calcu-
lation of costs arising from the effects of
neglected causes, which any man may figure
ND for himself. 1t is not too much to assert
ERok Savannah viii nT1f
regard to race, color or previous condition,
is interested in bringing up properly the
colored children who have no parents or
protectors to look after them. It is the
business of the State to do what it can to
prevent crime as well as punish It
In slavery times the care for the useful,
religious and moral culture of the little
negroes was q responsibility of the mas
ter's to society and to God; and as l view
the changes made in the relation of the
freedmen to the State and municipal laws
by emancipation, am inclined to the opin-
ion that these accountabllities of the former
proprietors have devolved upon our Board
of County Commissioners.
The subject was brought, [ understand,
to the attention of our Representative in
Congress, Col. Black, who appreciated the
necessity for prompt assistance in securing
to US some relief from inevitable future
crimes, and who was investigating the con-
stitutional permissions for national aid in
promoting such institutions when he was
stricken down by disease. But while beg
cling aid from Jupiter should we not put
our own shoulders to the wheel and make
some endeavor to help ourselves, and so
stand the better chance of obtaining Jupi
ter's aid We, therefore, ask again, does
not the case come within the powers of the
Board of County Commissioners under their
control Of charity and of education

"DoIIy Varden,, in Trouble.

Yesterday morning about eleven O'Clock
there was considerable excitement in the
vicinity of the Market, occasioned by DIFF
ficulty between James Collins and John
Ashe, better known as ODDLY Var
den." 1t is stated that they
had been concerned in a sweet potato
trade, and yesterday when they came
to settle the speculation and divide the pro-
fils they could not agree. After some dis
cussion of the matter "DOlly" became
excited and iDtimated that the truth
was being crushed, as It were. A
conflict was the result, and Mr..
Collins, wrestling from Ashe a stick
which ne had in his hand, belsbored
him over the head lively. Several gashes
were cut on his head, from which the blood
spouted freely. Ashe is a cripple, and. fnd-
ing he was getting worsted in the fracas,
retired from the field, and subsequently, had
Collins arrested on a warrant issued by a
Magistrate and placed under bonds for ex-
animation. Ashe then proceeded to the City
dispensary, where his damaged caput was
neatly dressed by Mr.. Lewis Cas-, the
efficient keeper, free of charge.

Hope for Suffering WOman-SOme-
thing New Under the Sun.

By reason of her peculiar relations, and her
peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled
to suffer, not only her own ills, but those aris-
ing from the want of knowledge. or of con-
sideration on the part Of those with whom she
stands connected In the social organization.
The frequent and distressing irregularities pc
culiar to her sex have thus been aggravated to
a degree which no language can express. In
the mansions Of the rich and the howell Of the
poor alike, woman has been the patient victim
of ills unknown to man, and which none but
she could endure-and without remedy. But
now the hour of her redemption has come.

Blues.
The Colquitt Blues, colored, of this city,
have been regarded as creditable an orEani-
cation as any of the colored troops, al
though not as well drilled as some of the
older companies. In their parades here,
however, they have always borne themselves
well, and made good appearance. They
returned from their visit to Macon yester-
day afternoon by the Central Railroad. The
Macon Telegraph, noticing their arrival
there on Sunday evening last, draws
an unfavorsble comparison between
the Colquitt Blues and the Bib County
Blues, the colored company of that city,
which received them. 1t says:
"As our companies are composed for the
most part of the best and finest looking
colored men, it was expected that the Blues
were of the same material. But this was a
mistake. When the train rolled in there
was q CHATTER Of drums, a humming of the
crowd, and soon a black head with gaily
trimmed smoking cap protruded from the
car window, and then it was settled with
the crowd that the Blues had arrived.
''Then eighteen of the blacklist, toughest
rice plantation hands you ever saw in your
life filed out the car, dressed in the regula-
ton costume Of an unlit cigar stump and a
buster. Every one of the eighteen had the
cigar stump, which was just an inch long
and made Of the vilest brown paper that
was ever dipped IN tobacco juice. Their
busters were long and wrinkled, and showed
signs of wear.
''The Blues scrambled out and got into a
crooked line in the yard Of the depot. They
sent out a squad to hunt up the Captain and
finally found him in the crowd where he had
struck up with an old acquaintance and had
forgotten all about his company. They
prodded him with bayOnet, aud finally in
duced him to take charge Of the squad.
Then he ordered forward march, and the
Ogeechee Coons tramped out, every man
keeping his own step and no two steps alike.
They marched out of the yard to Fourth
street, when the B. G. BIS were formed In
line, and took their position.
"As the procession filed past the Brown
House, there was noticed a vast difference
between the military of Savannah and Ma
con. The latter was a fine looking body
of men, in charge of Captain Mosely and
Lieutenant McWhorter, both well formed
aud stylish officers, while the COons were
like en- awkward squad Of tramps with
cigar stumps and busters"
