rho Commerce of the Port.

The port Of Savannah has not in many
years, if ever before, presented the busy
appearance that it has for the past month.
Since the completion of the extensive
wharyes of the railroad companies in
either end of the city, the wharves i'm
mediately in front Of the city proper have
been used but seldom as berths for large
vessels. To-day from one end Of them to
the other are to be seen the largest class
Of ocean steamships and square-rigged
vessels. They are not waiting" but
busily engaged in discharging or loading.
Cotton is being drayed from the presses
to be loaded on ships lying at wharyes
where there are no presses.
The flags Of about all commercial
nations are represented in this immense
fleet. At one wharf on Sunday could be
seen the British, Norwegian, Italian,
Brazilian and Austrian flags. The ton
mage in port is larger than it has been
since the foundation Of the city. This is
certainly encouraging for Savannah.

Conradicting RIaine.

1t is noticeable that Blaine's intempe-
rate Augusta speech has been commenced
only by a very few Of the extreme kepuo-
lican papers. Doubtless a good many OF
Blaine's admirers approve Of the senu-
e of that speech. II called on to give
reasons for their approval they would De
unable. probably, to do so. If they were
willing to be perfectly honest with them
selves they would admit, doubtless, that
they approve Of the speech because they
were beaten.
They don't like the idea Of being in the
minority. and their party has been in
power so long that they cannot under
stand how a decision could have been
rendered against it by the people. They
accept Mr.. BIaine's statement, therefore,
that the decision was secured by grave
wrongs.
Neither their u~ndignifed attacks on the
successful party, however, nor their ex-
pressiOns of fear for the future Of the col
Ored peOple attract very marked notice.
The country is too glad that the election
is ove AMI the result accepted without
dispute TO be disturbed by the ill-temper
Of a small faction of the defeated party.
Even the negroes, if their representa-
tives speak their sentiments, do not thank
Mr.. Blaine for his remarks in his Augusta
speech regarding them. Register Of the
Treasury Bruce, one Of the ablest col
Ored men in the country, aday or two ago
said that Blaine's charges Of intimida-
ton and violence at the polls at the South
were false. The Register said that the races
at the South were getting along harmOni-
Ously, and that Blaine's demagOgical
speech was calculated to do harm be-
cause it viii lead cOlOred people to think
that their rights are in some way men,
aced.
Pinchback, Of louisiana. another prom
nent cOIOred man, declares that no better
thing for the negroes of the South could
have happened han the defeat Of the Re
publican party. Although a Republican
and a Federal ofice-hOlder, he is shrewd
enough TO see that as long as the Republi-
/ can party remained in power the white
| and black races in the South would have
remained apart politically, and as is
always the case, the separation would
have been to the disadvantage Of the weak
and ignorant race. Now he thinks that
in changes that will take place the vote
Of the negro Will be divided and sought
after, and that that condition Of affairs
will be in every respect beneficial to him
The sentiments Of Bruce and Pinchback
are the same as those entertained by lead
ing cOlored men generally, so far as they
have been expressed. Itseems, therefore,
that Mr.. Blaine's sentiments are repudi.
ated even by those who were made the
basis Of his Augusta harangue.

NJ Hatton and the Blaine Papers.

NINa INaLlOh An0 ~
The Republicans have been hunting for
somebody upon whom to charge their de-
feat ever since the election. They have
said about all the mean things they could
about st. John, they have hurled CON
temptuous epithets at Brother B~urchard,
and they have expressed their opinion, In
a remarkably free way. about the boiling
Republicans. Still they are not satisfied,
and are hunting for new victims. They
are lust now giving Frank Hatton, POST
master General, the benefit OF their
venom. The Postmaster General, they
saw refused to allow the New York post
Office 10 be closed on election day, and
thereby prevented enough letter-carrlers
from voting to secure Mr.. Blaine's defeat.
The Postmaster General has denied IN
very plain and emphatic language that
he prevented the letter carriers OF the
New York post Office from exercising
their right Of franchise. He admits that
ne refused 10 order the office closed be-
cause there is no law that authorizes the
closing of post offices on election days,
and it is not the custom TO close them, but
he says that he told the New York Post
master TO give the letter carriers and all
the employees Of that Office an opportunity
to cast their ballots.
This explanation, however, does not
satisfy the Blaine organs, and they
are doing their utmost to
make the Postmaster General
uncomfortable. They do not pretend to
show that any of the employees of the New
York past office did not have a chance to
vote. They don't want to show that, be-
cause that would be fair and just, and
they are not disposed to be fair, and be-
cause it would deprive them of a chance
to hit the Postmaster General. The fact
is. the New York Postmaster says, that
/ every emplOye of that office had an oppOr-
tunity to vote, and if it was not i'm
proved it was not the fault Of the Post
master General.
The Blaine papers have been itching to
get a chance to attack the Postmaster
General, because throughout the cam
paign he was not enthusiastically in
favor Of Mr.. Blaine. He created the i'm
preston by his talk and conduct that be
wouldn't shed scalding tears if Mr.. Blaine
were beaten.

The whisky manufacturers profess to
be delighted by the provision of law which
allows them TO export whisky without
paving the internal revenue tax. They
say that the actual cost Of freight,
storage. etc., on whisky exported to Bre-
men or Bermuda amoun to only s. per
barrel, and that the losses in one shape or
another are less han when the whisky is
kept here and forced on the market at
the end Of the bonded period, while the
climate across the water is much better
than ours for aging and ripening it.
About 10000 barrels have been exported,
the larger part Of which will be brought
back To this country when the condition
OF the market will warrant its return.
Its increased value by aging is said 20 be
considerably more than the expenses, in
terest on cost, etc. Nothing is said about
the chances for ''rectifying" and "irriga-
ting the stuff while it is abroad.

A Suicidal Policy.

1t is stated that the railroads daily con-
yey scores Of people westward who are
emigrating from Georgia and Alabama
and other Southern States TO Texas.
There has been a steady stream Of emf
grafton from this section of the Union to
the West every winter for years, and
already the population of some parts Of
the country has been materially dimin-
ished and the rebuilding and prosperity
of the country greatly retarded thereby.
The tide Of emigration has been directly
encouraged by some Of the leading rail-
road companies by selling emigrant tick
cts at merely nominal rates.
1t would seem to be very proper that
the of Western roads should
endeavOr to secure the settlement of the
country on which they depend for pat
ronage by every mean in their power;
but it is difficult to conceive how the a
ayers OfrOads further East could have been
induced TO contribute directly to the de-
population Of their own territory, while
nothing was done or has yet been done to
replace the lost inhabitants.
Every person Of common sense knows
that the greater the number Of people
who live along the line Of a railroad the
greater will be its traffic, both in freight
and passengers. While this is true, some
Southern roads are offering their patrons
extremely low rates to the West, and So
Letting them in fancy handbills and cir
culars to 20 where they become the per-
manent patrons Of other roads. 1t can
not be long before the roads that have
been pursuing this course VIII feel its
effects in the considerable decrease of
their local business.
The policy OF every road should be to
offer no extraordinary inducements TO
people to leave the territory on which it
must depend for a very large share of its
patronage. Its managers should say to
its patrons who wish to 90 West: Gen
tlemen. if you are determined to leave us
paw US full fare. We will have II good,
last lick at your pocket" To those who
desire to come in and settle on or near the
line OF road, should be said: "COme on.
Here are free passes for yourselves and
families. and free transportation for your
household effects. Help build up the
country, aud prosper, and we will be sure
to prosper with yOu."
II these Southern roads would reverse
the course they are now pursuing in this
matter. how soon would well-tO-dO farmers
and mechanics begin to come by scores
and hundreds from the North and even
the great West, and how soon would old
farms and villages renew their fertility
and air OF cheerful prosperity! Instead
of this, several leading roads charge the
immigrant full rates for freight and pas
sage, and give him no word Of welcome OF
encouragement, while the emigranJ Is
persuaded to leave, and furnished trans
portatiOn at about one-third the regular
fare. This looks very much like "ki!ling
the goose that lays the golden eggs"
