THE PARTISAN republican newspapers all
agree with commissioner Raum that
modern politicians can not afford to be con.
sistent. For instance: one of them on Mon
day says failure to support the Confederacy,
as it now exists in the democratic party at
the South is social ostracism;" but on Tues
day, the same one, in talking about a re-
publican candidate for Congress in the
South, says ''his standing in society ia fully
equal to that of his opponent" The truth
is that among the most respected people in
the South are many honest and conscien-
tious republicans.

THE QUESTION of color has now obtruded

man is q member of the delegation elected
Ivy New York assembly to the Richmond

keepers in Richmond naturally refuse to en-
terrain him with their other guests; his col.
lesguea say he is as good az they are, and
that if the white people of Richmond wont
entertain him, they, his colleagues, will stay
With, him and sojourn with colored people
while in Richmond. The Richmond knights
of course don't like such a determination
On the part of tho delegation referred to, but
can't help it. The church is the only asso.

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1886-09-11

Tuesday morning, while young white
man who does not desire his name men,
toned was passing quietly along Union
avenue, going toward MellonVllle, and
when at the bridge which crosses the lit
tie stream known as Pump branch, an
unknown colored man rushed suddenly
upon him and struck him fearful blow
on the right side of the face. The blow
was evidently dealt for the purpose OF
killing, for the VILLAIN Immediately rifed
the pockets of his unconscious victim, Sc
curing $40, and threw the young man into
the creek, which has been swollen of late
owing to the almost daily rains. The
sudden immersion into cold water
Immediately revived the young man,
but the force of the terrible blow
left him so dazed that he did not know
where he was. He waded down the
stream toward the lake until he reached
the hammock, where it was as dark as a
tar barrel, and being unable to get his
bearings he crawled up the bank and
waited until daybreak, when he came to
this city. He Immediately sought physi-
clan and had his wound dressed, and
when our reporter saw him he was rest
ing as comfortably as could be expected
under the circumstances, though he was
suffering considerable pain. The force of
the blow, presumably dealt with club or
some other hard weapon, was sufficient
TO loosen all bis teeth on that side, out his
face badly and split his ear, from which
he says the blood flowed freely while he
waited patiently in the hammock for the
break of day.
