This morning Mayor Steele received an
other letter from the governor, indorsing
an ill-wrltten and ill-spelled letter pur
porting to come from seven negro women
of some prominence among the colOred
population, complaining that they were
totally without food, and were
being employed by the city au.
thorities without any prospect OF
payment. He Immediately had warrants
issued for the arrest of the whole number
and had them brought before him at
once. Upon investigation it was proved
that they were totally innocent of the
whole affair and that the letter was a
forgery originating from party of negro
men who had held a meeting some time
previously. AS it was perfectly evil
dent that the whole thing had been con-
cocted and carried through by these par
ties in spirit of malicious mischief
and with the intention of causing
trouble, the mayor had warrants issued
further developments may be looked for
on Monday, when they are brought before
him for trial. The affair has caused con-
siderable excitement among the white
population, and unless the negroes are
more circumspect in their conduct and
cease writing miSchieVOuS letters to the
governor, there may be some white cap
work done here. There is absolutely nc
ground for complaint. As from the testi-
mony of those arraigned to-day, they were
all faring better and making more money
than in ordinary times.
REFUGEE CAUGHT.
Lawrence Walker, the negro who was
one of the three who escaped through the
quarantine lines yesterday, has been cap
tured at Johnson s by Sergeant Nydegger
and is on his way back here under guard
where he will be kept in strict confne-
ment until the quarantine is raised, when
the case can be tried before the United
States authorities. 1t is hoped that the
capture of the other two will shortly be
accomplished in order to prevent any
spread of the infection.
The performance of ali the duties be-
longing to the Office of chief of police,
together with many added troubles
which have accumulated upon the Office
during the epidemic, have been carried
out by the incumbent, j. n. Goodbread,
in a manner beyond all praise. He is to
be found at his post both night and day,
showing no fear Of the disease in any way.
At the interment of the three patients
who died of the disease he rendered him
sci invaluable, performing all the duties
connected with such cases when no other
person could be found to undertake them,
all others being deferred by fear from as
sisting.
DIR. George w. Drawdy is so far recov-
cred as to be able to make his appearance
upon the streets, much to the pleasure of
his numerous friends and admirers.
DIR. Lincoln received a card from Sur
geon General Wyman to-day regretting
his inability to call upon him, but which
he would have done if he had had the
time to spend ten days with him, which
would have been the penalty imposed if
he had entered Jesup. He also sent him
kind rememb brances from his old college
mate, William E. Curtis, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
