Speaking of the negro ex-convict men

On Saturday night John Duvall, colored

The Port ROYAL railroad train brough'
into the city Sunday forenoon large e1-
cursion of negro military and their friends,
who on arriving were met and escorted oy
a military company and thousands OF men
and women of this city to the Douglass
Drill hall, on Greene street. The crowd
was very disorderly, and for three or four
hours after the arrival Of the train Kept
the whole city in an uproar with drums,
flies and brass bands, accompanied by a
bowling and yelling mob. ST. Johns
Methodist Episcopal Sunday school, which
is situated opposite Douglass hall, found
il impossible to proceed with their usual
exercises, on account of the noise
and tumult until they had called
in the assistance of the police. On Mon
day Rev. Mr.. Gambler through the newsp2-
pers made vigorous onslaught upon the
authorities generally for permitting such
doings on the Sabbath, and upon the rail
roads for bringing such excursionists into
the city in violation of the law passed by the
last legislature prohibiting Sunday excur-
sion trains, and called the attention oil the
grand Jury and of Judge Roney to such
grieyous infractions of law and order. As
a result of all this the Port Royal railway
company was this forenoon arrsigned be-
fore the recorder under the law referred TO,
and bound over TO answer before the city
court. under a bond of $4,000. This Is
the first time this law has been up for trial
in Augusta.

THE PRINTERS BILL.

The bill introduced by Jones OF
Clinton county, in the last legislature
to create the Office of public printer
was Sob" 1t was a scheme TIC
enrich the pocket of those who die
not desire to work for living.
Senator Heard was then in the
senate and proposed to protect and
defend the taxpayers. He was sue
cessful in his efforts to thwart the
propositions and encroachments OF
the jobbers, and for this the people
owe him debt of gratitude.
The BAzoo of Jan. Is, 1883 con,
tanned the following:
"The legislature should 60 a LITTLE
slow in creating the Office of STATE
printer. While it is good, fat place
the legislature should ask themselve'
the question: Do the tax payers de
sire to fix an office to illustrate thu
principle, "To the victors belong tn
spoils?" :,
On Jan. "a, 1888. the BAzoo said
To the legislature, greeting:
"The eyes of the tax payers ar
upon you. They demand in behalf o
their impoverished pocket books
that you defeat the Jones bill creatinI
the office of state printer"
This paper was opposed to tn
bill because it was a 'job"-It wa
a subterfuge-a blind, to rob tn
people.

A citizen accompanied him to post him on

"By the way, who owns this hotel ?"

CHANDLER AND HENDRICKS

Secretary Chandler seems to have
drawn toward himself some very un-
desirable notoriety and attention.
which is likely to end very seriously
for, him by his hasty and imprudent
act in rushing before the public
through the medium of the associated
press to deny a charge that had never
been made against him, but of which
he doubtless felt himself guilty. MIR.
Hen tricks, replying by the same me-
dunn, has certainly given Mr.. Chand'
Ter severe arraignment before the
bar of public opinion.
