BACK TO CAMP TOGETHER.
Jasper Greens Wiu Return to Macon
sunday.

a meeting Of Company L. the Irish
Jasper Greens, Of the First Georgia Regi-
ment was held last night in the com
pany's quarters in the regimental
armory. Capt Z A. Leonard presided,
as it was meeting of the army soldiers.
The purpose of the meeting was the con-
sheraton of the return of the company
to camp in Macon, where the men are
to be mustered out Of the service. It was
decided to go next Sunday night by the
Central Railroad. A special car will
probably be put on its train by the Cen
trail to take the company.
The matter of going in a body back to
camp or slngly rested altogether with the
men. They are off on furlough now, and
the manner of their return is with them.
It was regarded, however as the better
plan for all to stick together on the re-
turn trip and take it at the same time
The returning soldiers will have to pay
their own railroad fare back TO Macon
This they had to do on the way down, a
furloughed soldier not being so fortunate
as to have his railroad fare paid by the
government. 1t will he different on their
return, for on being mustered out OF the
service and getting their honorable DIS
charges, the members of the regiment
viii be given travel pay that will more
than enable them to reach Savannah or
other points at which they were enrolled.
The members of the regiment have to
be back at camp on the last day of the
month in order to sign the muster rolls.
Any who do not show up at that time
viii probably have to have some very good
excuse to offer.
The Savannah Cadets and the Republi
can Blues have not yet had meetings to
consider the matter of their return to
Macon and 1t is not known whether they
win go back in bodies or singly. The boys
DO not like the idea of having to go BACK
to camp They would much rather be
mustered out while remaining at home. Ii
will require several days of camp life be-
fore they can get out of the army. The
only thing that repays them for their
trouble is the money they will get when
their accounts are closed up with Uncle
Sam

CITIZENS CLUBS SUCCESSOR.
CONSERVATIVE CLUB ORGANIZED
BY ANTI-ADMINIsTRAT

Committees on Membership and
Speeches That the Club Should
Not Be Run by Omce-hOlders or
ee<ers-Ex-MayOr Myers,
MIR. j. 4. G. Carson, Mr.. Geo. w.
Tiedeman and Col. william Gar
rard Discussed as Possible Mayor
atty Candidates.
The Conservative Club was organized
last night at a meeting in the supper room
of Odd Fellows Hall, at which about fifty
men were present. Mr.. A. A. Lawrence
was elected temporary chairman and Mr..
Charles A. Lamotte temporary secretary.
Mr.. c. A. Brandt, chairman of a com
mittee appointed TO select a name, re-
ported THE Conservative Club" as in its
opinion the best title for the new organiza-
ton, and the report was adopted without
discussion.
In taking the chair as temporary chair
man. Mr.. Lawrence declared that the
course of the present administration rem
ders 1t necessary to perfect an organiza-
ton to give citizens opposed to it's meth
JUS a AdlIyliS point dIOuHu WHICH lLlcAl
strength may be conferred and used effect
lively 10 prevent a continuance of misrule.
He believed, from the comments heard on
all sides, that citizens generally are dis
satisfied with the conduct of the city's
business by the present administration and
are not willing to allow it to continue in
office for another term. The fact that it
had been left TO five men to say how Sa-
vannah should be governed he referred to
in terms of strong criticism, and the as
sertion was made that the spirit of con-
demnation was already sufficiently strong
to defeat the administration ticket in
January. He believed a good organization,
putting out a good ticket, would win.
1t was decided to have a committee, of
which the temporary chairman of the club
shall be chairman, to select a permanent
meeting place, prepare application blanks
for membership, etc This committee will
appoint another committee which will pre-
pare a platform. 1t was decided to meet
every Wednesday, beginning with We'd
nesday of next week.
One or two brief speeches were made to
the tenor that the new club should not
be run by Office holders or those seeking
office.
After the meeting there was some little
informal discussion Of probable mayor
atty candidates. Among those whose
names were mentioned were Messrs. Her
man Myers, J. A G. Carson, George w.
Tiedeman and Col. William Garrard.

TEN-CENT FARES TOO HIGH.
street Railway brought to Terms by
Public Sentiment.

~ ~ ~
Public Sentiment.
The Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railway has fixed fare of cents
each way to and from the Dale avenue and
Avondale camps. The fare to Avondale
was decided on at five cents from the
first, but the company put on a fare of
ten cents each way to the Estill avenue
camp. 1t met with so much disapproval
however, that it was decided to make it
five cents. The rate to this camp applies
to the soldiers.
General Manager Johnston said last night
that the reason for the charge to the
Dale avenue camp was that new track
had 10 be built. and the expenditure would
not justify making the fare lower, especi-
ally as the arrangement was only tenn
porary. The city gave the street railway
the right to extend its tracks from OFT
and Henry streets, out Henry to the
Waters road. The track then runs along
Waters road to its junction with Esdll
avenue 1t is stated that the understand
ing the city had al the time was thar sol
diers should not be charged over five cents
each way. This seems not to have been
thoroughly understood, however, and for
that reason Alderman Davis, chairman of
the street and lane committee, sought
Capt Johnston when the ten-cent fare
was put on for the purpose of coming TO
an understanding about the fare for sol
diers.
Alderman Davis called at Capt. John
stons residence last night, with Hon.
Pope Barrow, counsel for the street rail
way, and the situation was talked over.
Capt. Johnston said he had previously de-
cided to make the fare the same as that
to the Avondale camp, and would have
transfers issued to the soldiers. AS a rea-
son for the 10-cent charge, making the
fare 20 cents to ana from the camp, he
explained that the road had been put to
considerable expense in building track,
which would have to be removed when
the soldiers left. The fact that il was
only a temporary arrangement, he
thought, warranted the company in charg-
ing more than on the other line, where It
was not necessary to go to any expense.
The fare has been reduced, however and
soldiers viii now be given transfers TO
either camp.

BISHOP TURNER ON RACE WAR.
Thinks Negroes should BE CoIonized
i'm Liberin.


Bishop Fl. NJ Turner of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, Is in the
city In speaking of the race troubles in
Mississippi, he said ii is only another Iv-
ing illustration of the advisability of col
onizing the negro in liberia Where there
are two races not equals socially, he said
one must always stay at the bottom and
this is the case with the negro to-day
81 say let Congress appropriate $25,GO0,-
COO for the purpose of putting on a line
of steamers direct to Liberia to colon
ize the negro there he stated. by the
present circuitous voyage they are COM
PEELED to take to go there, many are kept
away on account of the expense. But
Liberia is growing little country, and
as every negro VINO goes there is given
twenty-five acres of land, 1t seems 10 me
the FL Dorado for the colored race. Lii
IBERIA has a small navy consisting of two
gunboats, and she is rapidly developing
What they need there is people to till
the land. My notion is these race trou-
bles win not cease until this colonization
is effected to some extent"

ANOTHER BATTALION COMING.
Gen. Greene Wen Pleased. with the
Appearance of the Provost Guard.

appearance OI hne I-EoNoAt NhhFus
The second battalion Of the Fourth I'LL
nois Regiment, which has been assigned
to duty as the provost guard. win arrive
from Jacksonville this morning
This battalion will come in charge Of
Lieut.. Col McWilliams one company OF
this battalion will be placed at the Bay
street green. at East Broad and Bay
streets. Another company villa probably
be put somewhere near Thunderbolt, as
1t is thought a guard is needed in that
quarter. Il may be, however, that this
company VIII be placed instead somewhere
near COlinsyine. Another company will
he located near Gen. Lees camp out on
Bun street in Thomas Park, and the
near the Central Railroad depots on West
Broad street, where the commissary and
quertermasters supplies are located
The provost guard was kept quite busy
yesterday ia some quarters of the city.
There were some fifteen or twenty ar
rests of men who We're intoxicated or out
OF their camps without leave, but there
was no serious difficulty anywhere.
1t was an Interesting sight to see the
long stream of soldiers passing through
the headquarters of The provost guard
yesterday afternoon between 6 and 7
o'clock, They all wanted passes to go in
to the eastern section Of the city, and
these. are issued only from the provost
guard headquarters. That section, which
may be designated a 9 Crawford ward, has
been surrounded by a Gordon of the pro-
vost guard, 80 to speak, and no soldier
is allowed to enter il unless he has a pa
direct from provost guard headquarters.
These passes are good only for three
hours, from until 10 o'clock in the even
ing.
Gen. Greene notified Maj. Harrison yes
terday afternoon that he would inspect
the provost guard al o'clock. II is Gen.
Greene's way to drop down suddenly on the
forces under his command, and see if ell
the officers and men are doing their duty
at a time when they least expect to be
called TO account. He is a most cner-
getio officer, and his working hours are
limited only by the work which he finds
before him.
Gen. Greene drove around the city and
inspected the different stations of the
provost guard. He expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the system that has
been arranged by Maj. Harrison, and was
well satisfied with the appearance of the
men and the camps.
The drivers OF the heavy army wagons
which move around the city have not been
aware Of the city ordinance which re-
quires teams to go to the right of the
squares. A request VIII be made from the
provost guard headquarters for an order
directing the Transfers TO observe this or

do, and it is likely that the success of last
