At a meeting of the directors of the Tybee
Improvement Company, held last night, it
was decided to build tue Pavilion in front
of the Ocean House. The work will be
commenced in a few da\*s, and the building
will be completed before the 1st of May.
When the occupant of the adjoining berth
to \'ou on a sleeping car disturbs \-ou I»y
snoring, don’t pat him on the head to awake
him; lie might be a distinguished states
man. This lesson was taught by experience
of a party on the recent postal excursion.
No one will forget the excursion to Tybee

The faulted Staten Courts.
The United States Circuit and District
Courts were convened yesterday by J udge
Erskine. with the new officers, Chief Dep
uty Marshal John W. Anderson and the
United States District Clerk, Mr. Willard F.
Ward. The courts were opened in a style
which pleased the Judge highly, Capt. An
derson’s deep sonorous voice filling the entire
room as he repeated the usual formula from
memory. Mr. Ward, the new Clerk, admin
isteredthe oaths to the jurors with like im
pressiveness and accuracy, without refer
ring to tlic printed oath. I11 this connec
tion, yye may mention the general expres
sion of opinion among the legal fraternity
that Mr. Ward wtii prove a most efficient
clerk. lie has bee** a resident
of Georgia for the past twelve
years and during that time we understand
has lost Jn efforts to develop the mining in
terests of North Georgia nearly- $60,000.
He is a clever gentleman, of prepossessing
manners and thoroughly competent to per
form his duties. The courts are now in
session, considerable important business is
to be disposed of, but with au efficient clerk-
ami Chief Deputy Marshal everything will
Work smoothly.
A Roadway to be Closed I'p.
Captain BJair. President of the Savannah
and Ogeechec Caual Company, notifies the
public through our columns this morning,
that the roadway on the west side of the

closed on the 15th of May, proximo. This
action w ill render the bridge of no use to
the public, and people Jiving along the river
will be cut off from access to the city except*
through a long detour by the Louisville road.
We suppose the company is looking after
its own interest in this matter, a prerogative
which corporations are not slow to utilize.

Special Correspondence of the Morning Setcx.
The Postal Commission party, which left
Savannah on Friday morning at 11 o'clock
on a special train over the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad for Cedar Keys to connect
with the steamship Agnes for Havana,
reached the Keys after a pleasant trip at
a. m. on Saturday morning.
Shortly after leaving Savannah 301
representative, falling in naturalh* with
members of the fraternity who accompanied
the party, was asked b3* Mr. Sam. T. Noyes,
of tlit* Xntitnud Union, (which en passant is a
strong supporter of Mr. Hayes’ “Southern
policy*^*; if he would like to meet Judge K
the Postmaster General. Returning
affirmative reply, he was escorted up the
crowded aisle of the car. to a group of sev
eral gentlemen, standing near the door.
THE l*OSTMASTER GENERAL.
On the outer edge of the circle 6tood a gen
tleman of rather robust appearance, above
the average height, full face adorned with
grey beard several inches in length, closely
clipped side whiskers of the same color, short
cropped iron grey hair, small, soft brown
eyes and a mouth that denoted mildness
rather than firmness or extraordinary de
cision. He was dressed iu black broadcloth,
wore a silk hat and the lappel of his coat
was graced with a button hole bouquet. This
gentleman, who ma3* be described as ifhe
looking, turned as we approached, and we
were presented to Hon. D. M. Key, Postmas
ter General. The graspof the hand and the
bright sunn3* smile which lit up his counte
nance, as he made a pleasant remark iu
reference to journalists, convinced us that
Judge Kc3* was at least an amiable and
most kiudh* natured gentleman.
I subsequently learned that he was very
popular with the “press gang” of Washing
ton. whom he is always ready to receive
without formality, lit* is evidently an able
man iu the general acceptation of the term,
though not a great man. Thus were we
impressed by observation and intercourse,
though we learned from the most pronounced
Republican in the party that notwithstand
ing the dissatisfaction at the appointment
by Mr. Hayes of a Democrat and Southerner
to the Cabinet, yet Judge Key bad suc
ceeded iu disarming all opposition, and was
now styled “the best man in the Cabinet,”
and was classed in political parlance as a
“liberal Democrat.”
ex-\ it
PRESIDENT AND SENATOR FROM
MAINE.
After exchanging a few common place rc-
marks,the group shifted position and we were
brought face to face with Senator llaunibal
Hamlin from Maine, Viet- President during
Lincoln's first administration, to whom we
were also presented. Opportunity offering,
we drifted to so to speak, into a convenient
seat, and sought to elicit some ex
pressions from him concerning his impres
sions of the South during his trip, at the
same time taking a mental photograph of
his appearance. As to apparel, the most
noticeable articles were an old fashion
dress coat, and a silk hat of a past style,
which gave to him a singular appearance
when walking,especially, as he is very round
shouldered. His face denotes a man
of strong prejudices, and our subsequent
intercourse iuduccd the belief that he is
controlled rather by his feelings than his
judgment. He was not disinclined to con
verse, and in repty to a question. “What do
you think of the South. Senator?” he said:
“It is a great countn*, sir—a country of
wonderful resources and advantages, and
far superior to the North in this respect.
Your soil i» more fertile, your climate more
genial, and your general advantages exceed
those of the North, and such being the case,
you should be equally as wealthy and pros
perous. The difficulty is that you don’t
like work or exertion. With the same
amouut of energ3* industry and enterprise
exhibited in the South as may be observed
iu the North, no comparison could be
drawn between them. In this I refer
principally to the agricultural sections.
Continuing, he said he “considered the South
had a great future before her if the people
would only get over their indisposition to
work.” Mr. Hamlin is apparently between
sixt3*-five and seventy years of age, and
tough and wiry, and evidentty good for ten
or more years of life, and yet we observed
that he took his “appetizer,” supplemented
with a cigar, regularly before breakfast,
in addition to the usua*l socialities during
the da3*. This treatment of the gastric or
gans would seem to disprove some of the
theories on the subject of matutinal drinks.
THE LONE DEMOCRAT.
. The only Democrat in the part3* is Col. W.
P. Caldwell, member of Congress from
Tennessee; but political affiliations were not
generally known, the subject being veiy
property eschewed. The trip was on busi
ness, though the opportune to leaven it
with pleasure was not disregarded when the
excursion party was organized.
HOW TnE TIME PASSED.
The trip to Live Oak was enlivened 113*
card pla3*ing, singing and conversation. Ou
all sides could be heard enthusiastic praises
of the beauties and charms of Savan
nah. which they had been enabled to see to
advantage in tile drives through the cit3* iu
the morning, the weather it will be recol
lected, being perfectly delightful. It was
pronounced without exception the most at
tractive and charming town they hod visited,
and nearly every one expressed desire or in
tention to see more of it.
HOSPITALITY OF THE GULP ROAD.
The Atlantic and Gulf Railroad authori
ties had provided a most substantial and
palatable lunch, flanked with beverages of
various kinds, which was spread in one of
the front ears, and during the entire day
these material comforts were dispensed with
a liiojt liberal hand under the direction of
the gentii*jtianty* chief clerk of the company,
Mr. William B. McR.ee, who had his effi
cient corps, headed by the venerable
Dave'’ and the faithful “Bob,’’ under ex-
ellent training. This sumptuous “la3* out”
was a surprise Ig th“ excursionists, who
were warm in their praise ot the generous
hospitality of the Gulf Road. At Live Oak
supper had been ordered for the entire party,
ami ou iea*.Uu£ that plareat 7:25 everything
was found prepared anu waiting. As the
party left the ears to proceed to the dining
room they were joined by Governor George
F. Drew, who had a pleasant interview with
Judge Key, and accompanied him to the
table. .Viter supper the party returned to
the ears and the train was soon speeding
over the rails again. Baldwin was readied
about eleven o'clock, and here there was an
accession to the excursion in a
PARTY FROM FERNANDINA

car containing these excursionists was at
tached to the train, and the trip resumed.
CEDAR KEYS
was reached about five a. m. on Satnrday,
when, to the surprise of all, and the disaji-
pointment of the Postal Commission pam\
it was found that the steamship Agnes,
which was expected to connect with the
train and convey the excursionists to Hava
na, had not arrived, and further, that noth
ing having been heard of her, it was uncer
tain wheifthe3* could leave. Regrets were
useless, however, and Mr. Yulee, who had
in the meantime assumed the position of
host, having made arrangements at the Is
land House and the Gulf Hotel, invited the
excursionists to breakfast. These hotels
deserve credit for the excellent breakfast
thc3* served to the large nart3* at such
short notice, and it proved that Ceder Keys
is equal to all emergencioa.
COUNCIL OP R. R. M’8.
After breakfast the railroad magnates
held a council to decide what was best to be
done under the circumstances. It was de
termined to remain at the Keys during the
day. and to open telegraphic communication
with Key West to ascertain if possible some
thing concerning the dela3 - ed steamship.
OVER THE WATER, BUT NOT TO HAVANA.
The party had not long to refleot over *his
decision when they were gladdened by the
announcement that Mr. Yulee had extended
■an invitation to them to visit Otsena Otie,
opposite the Kev’s. insjiect the pencil
factory there, then *.uu down to Sea
Horse' Ke3*s ("Johnson’s Island), five
miles distant, visit the light house,
and spend the day. Three large sail heats
and the little, steamer Li. L Yulee were
shortly obtained to convey the party on
their excursion. Owing to a heavy wind
and unfavorable tide the yachts Yiad to
“tack” very orteu, and hence they were
half an hour and more in reaching OtK*na
Otie, when the trip usually is ;, 4 c»do in ten
minuteu. The oaf^- soon disembarked, and
at once proceeded to the pencil factory of
E. Faber A; Co., where (hey pa»sed a most
pleasant and Interesting hour in learning
HOW PENCILS ARE MADE,
This is an important enterprise, probablv
one of thi most extensive in Florida. It is
under the management of Mr. Henry Schmidt,
with Mr. Henry Winter as general tgciu.aud
is owned and controlled by the giCatTead pen
cil manufacturers, Faber A Co. The factory
was established some five years ago and has
been a most successful enterprise. Constant
employment the 3'ear round is furni.-hed
fifty persons, principally young girls.
The monthly pay roll of the
factory amount# to Th** pen
cil- are all mml by machinery and
shipped to New York and Europe to be fill
ed. The capacity of the factory is six hun
dred gross per day. They are made of the
fine cedar which ’ grows abundant in the
viciufty, and from which we understand the
place derives its name. The average con
sumption is 800 logs, about 72 000 feet, per
month. During the year freight is furnished
some three hundred vessels, shipments bv
each comprising three hundred and fifty to
four hundred boxes, each box containing
sixty gross each of blocks of cedar, the
length of a lead pencil, and of the width of
three. Every alternate block is prepared
for the groove to hold the lead, and con
sequently is veiy slightly thicker than the

SEA HORSE KEYS,
or Johnson’s Island, a* it
known. .
(>n the trip to this lieautiful spot we learned t
something of its historv, as related b}- the !
old citizens of Cedar Keys. The island be- !
longed to a very eccentric man, who was
known a* Captain Sam Johnson. No one
knew an}lhing concerning him other than
that he was a native of Ireland, and }*early
received an annuity from that country. He
hail abundant means, was kind hearted
and generous, but peculiar. Thirty years ago
one morning the stem of a vessel was found
washed upon the beach of the island, which,
upon examination, showed the name “Sea
Horse.” No other portion of the vessel was
discovered, and from that time the place has
gone b}‘ the name of “Sea Horse Keys.”
Five }-ears after this, or twenty-five years
ago. ’ the Federal Government, without
consulting ^ Captain Johnson, who
claimed to* own the island by \ir-
tue of a grant from the Spanish
Government, built the light house upon it
an ' occupied the property. Johnson, who
also lived at intervals on the island, at once
instituted suii against the government and
won it. He then donated the island to the
government (reserving certain privileges
for himself ), stating that he did not care
for the property, but disliked such forcible
po-v-ession and only wished to show the
Federal authorities that private citizens had
rights.

The following named persons were sworn

Captain Johnson claimed to lie possessed
of information in regard to a large quantity
of treasure buried on the island by the pi
rate Lafitte, and it was suspected that this
was the secret source of his wealth, as he
made frequent visits to the island, remain
ing sometimes three or four days. He re
turned to Cedar Keys from one of these
trips several years ago, bringing with him
$7,000 in Spanish doubloons, which he gave
to an old lady, yet living in the town, with
whom he boarded. It is of current report
in Cedar Keys, based on the mysterious iu-
tim&tions of Captain Johnson, that treasures
are buried in different portions of the island,
and considerable digging has been done at
times by various parties. One of these from
Atlanta, who visited the island about two
years ago, succeeded, wc are informed, in
obtaining uiue hundred dollars, according
to their own statement, but it was believed
the sum was larger. A few years since
Captain Johnson died at the age of eighty
years, without revealing the secret he claimed
to jKissess, and was buried on the island.
A PISH FRY ON THE BEACH.
The trip to this interesting island was
made in fine time, and all were safely landed
on the beautiful beach, laved by the waters
of the Gulf, and strolled to the light-house,
from whose cupola a splendid view is ob
tain d. After “doing” the island, the party
were summoned to a shady cove on the
beach, where in primitive style they were
invited to partake of a splendid “fish fry”
and oyster roast, the “subjects” for
which had been drawn from their native
element but an hour or so before.
With crackers, butter, light bread, cheese
and pickles, champagne and other bev
erages, it is needless to say this was a de
licit .us feast and most hugely enjoyed. For
this magnificent treat the party were in
debted to .ex-Senator Yulee, whose munifi
cent hospitality was the theme of every
tongue.
About five o'clock the return start for Cedar
Keys was madft, and without accident,
though owing to wind the crafts were de-
laved, the landing was reached by dusk.
TRAVERSE JURORS.

EUENADE AND EARLY TRI1* TO GAINESVILLE.
About ten o’clock an amateur minstrel
band, composed of the young men of the
town, came down to the depot and compli
mented the ladies who had retired to the
cars with a very fine serenade. After this it
was decided by the railroad managers to run
the train * up to Gainesville at
dawn, where Mr. Yulee had made
arrangements for them to breakfast. This
was done, aud on reaching Gainesville buu-
lay morning, wagons aud carriages were at
the depot to carry them to the hotel, a very
handsome building situated on a little emi
nence aud affording, from its broad
piazza, a fine view of the town.
The breakfast that was served on
this occasion would have done credit to
any city hotel, and the management of the
proprietors, Messrs. Webster Co., was
loudly extolled. After arranging certain
preliminaries the parties here separated, the
Havana excursionists, with the Feniandina
party remaining until the afternoon, when
they were returned to Cedar Keys, in hope
of meeting the steamer. The Jacksonville
and Savannah party left ou the train at
11:30 < with the exception of Gen. McLaws,
who concluded at the last moment to re
main with Judge Key) for home.
A PEEP AT JACKSONVILLE.
On reaching Baldwin the bavannah party
accepted the Invitation of Captain Chas.
Holmes, Superintendent of the Florida
Central, and remained with the Jack
sonville party. At 2:45 p. m. the traiu ar
rived at Jacksonville, leaving us one hour
for dinner. Captain Holmes had the party
hurriedly ushered into an omnibus, and
drove rapidly to the St. James Hotel, where
one of the very finest dinners of the sea
son ” was enjoyed. Back again to the de
pot, and just in time for the 3:45 p. in. regu

nahians turned their faces homeward, reach

Tribute to Dcreancd .^1 ember*.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Savannah Christian Association, held at their
rooms on Broughton street last night, ad
ditional life and spirit were manifest, and a
large number were present. In the absence
of the President, Mr. D. R. Thomas. Vice
President, presided, and Mr. John R. West
acted as Secretary.
The subiect of street preaching was dis
cussed, and a committee appointed to make
arrangements for next Sabbath afternoon.
The committee appointed at the last regu
lar meeting of the society to draft resolu
tions on the death of deaceasd members
made a report through Mr. H. F. Train,
Chairman, as follows :
Death, with impartial foot, knocks at the
palace of the rich and cottage of the poor.
Wherever he knocks lamentations and deso-
latiou and woes follow, like Rachael weeping
for her children.
Mourning and bereaved fathers, mothers,
husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, sons,
daughters—no one is spared—all must
pa\ the,debt of our sinful natures and re
turn to the dust whence they sprung. But
glory be to the ever-living 'and true God
who has removed the sting of death by his
blessed promise of a life of immortality
with himself in heaven. Well might we ex
claim, Oh, death, where is thy sting? O,
grave, where is thy victory?
Our association has been no exception to
to the visits of the insatiable one. The
dreadful pestilence of 1876 carried away from
us and across that bourne whence no traveler
returns, many loved and valued members,
and since then some others have been sum
moned from their labors here to. let us
hope, a better world above where the weary
are at rest.
Among those of our number who were
taken was E*. C. Anderson, Jr., a man well
known for his Christian activity and worth
in business, and social circles and the
church. His death was a loss keenly felt
not only by the Christian community, but
by the city at large.
8. W. Gleason, the noble hearted Chris
tian brother, whose ear was ever open, and
whose band was ever ready to help the poor
and needy, and his voice, that great gift
with which the Almighty so singularly
blessed him, contributed so largely to the
success of this assciaiion.
J. W. McCall aud J. A. Bruton, although
not natives of Savannah, yet an extensive
circle of friends mourned their loss, not as
acquaintances, but as brothers, so much did
their consistent Christian life endear them
to the hearts of all who knew them.
Rev. E. H. Myers, D. D., what higher
praise can be said of him than that as a
good shepherd he gave his life for his sheep.
Dr. James C. Herndon, noble, generous
physician. A man imbued with the true
spirit of his profession, who, without reward
aud without honor, hut at the call of suf
fering humanity, went to a neighboring city
where yellow- fever was prevailing as an epi
demic, and while there in the performance
of self-imposed but sacred duties.the Master
called him “to come up higher.” Truly a
noble soul was transplanted from earth to
heaven.
J. F. Chase aud C. A. Magill, after long
lingering and painful sufferings, which they
udured with Christian fortitude, at length
ntered into their rest.
(>ne, J. F. Stevenson, was lost at sea. An
other, A. 1). Strobhar, while in a neighbor
ing State, and while peaceably returning
from his daily avocation, was murdered by
negro ruffians. A loving aud worthy son of
a widowed mother.
Aud still another, J. S. F. Lancaster,
while suffering from mental aberration fell
by his own hand.
Truly can we say that in the midst of life
e are in death. Let therefore the removal
of these eleven brethren impress us with the
uncertainty of this life and to be ever ready
with lamps trimmed aud burning, for we
know not the day nor the hour in which the
Son of Man cometh.

New York to Ceuar Keys, aud had on board
a party of seven, who' intended to accom
pany the poslal excursionists. She
hud been lately repaired and fitted up for
this line, though it would seem that she was
not suited for the service. If we are not in
correctly informed, the Agnes was originally
a canal boat, was afterwards converted into
a steamer by the addition of a cabin, etc.,
aud ran for some time between Baltimore
and Richmond, and also to Wilmington.
She was, in sailor parlauce, a “smart craft.”
Additional particulars in reference to her
loss are given in the telegraphic columns.
It i.4 unfortunate that the inauguration of
this line should have been signalized by au
accident. From the dispatches of last night
it would appear that the postal party are de
termined to “stick it out,” and left for
Key West by another steamer.
SOMETHING ABOUT TUE MAIL ROUTE.
It is well here to give a few points in ref
erence to this fast mail route, and briefly
note some of its advantages to this section.
For a number of years it has been a favorite
scheme with the Post Office Department to
establish a rapid mail communication be
tween Havana and New York, but, although
frequently discussed, no definite steps were
taken until after Judge Keys’ installation ao
Postmaster General. He at once entered
into the measure with full spirit and in Jan
uary last the initial steps were takep. A con
sultation was held wit., the Messrs. Bridgers
and Pope, of the Atlantic Coa t Line. Mr.
T. N. Vail, Superintendent of the Railway
Mail Service, Gen. Knapp ana other officials
made a tour over the route favored, with
the view to arrange proper tables of
schedules. They succeeded through the
efforts of the Atlaulic Coast Line and At
lantic aud Gulf Railroad, and it was expect
ed that the system could be put in opera
tion by the 10th of February. A delay oc
curred, however, after which an arrangement
was concluded with i lyde and Rob
erts to run a line of' steamers be
tween Cedar Keys and Havana in
thirty-six hours. The railroad schedules
having been so arranged as to make the
time between New York and Cedar £e>*
over this route io fifty poius, it will - be seen
that this plan aiTcrfleu mail communu^fofi
between New York hud Havana in eighty-
sir hours. Tt was deemed that the inaugu
ration of this scheme was worthy of some
commemoration, and hence the Postal Com
mission was organized.
The advantages to be derived by Savannah
and other Southern cities on the route by
the establishment uf this mail line are
readily apparent. It is a well-known axiom
that passengers and express will follqw :h e
mails, for the reason that the route selected
for the transmUflk* of the mails is the
fa*lo»t. the most reliable and the sqfyu.
Passengers desire comfort, clqso c-ounecUoiis
and rapid traveling, hence they take the
fast mall trains. Kinross business depends
on an( y must necessarily favor the
fastest and surest lino,
Thu increase of travel and business nec
essarily lienetits the lines and the principal
cities which are their terminal points. \V’e
cannot in the space of this article go into
details of this matter. The simple state
ment and a little reflection will satisfy any
one that fast mails are. what we want through
this country.
Death of Mr, Lawton - A Correct Ac
count.
A paragraph copied from the Augusta
Chronicle and (onstltntionnlist, announcing
the death of Mr. Geo. M. Lawton, near Al
lendale. S. (’., appeared in the Morning
News of yesterday. This account was in
correct in ali its details.
Mr. I.awtou arrived at the railroad station
from his home in Griffin, Ga., on Monday
evening and proceeded to hU plantation,
Bel dock, and spent that night with a friend
In the neighborhood. On Tuesday he re
turned to the railroad station, where he re
mained writing letters until four o’clock p.
m., when he walked to the plantation, a
distance of a mile. After inspecting the plac e
he remarked to the negro overseer that he
was not feeling well and would remain over
nigh’.. He then retired to Ms room, and in
the morning (Wednesday) his sen-ant asked
him what he would have for breakfast. He
replied that he did not wish anything, but
would come out after awhile into the field.
Shortly after this a woman servant heard
Mr. Lawton groaning, and going into the
room, found him insensible. She imme
diately sent for a physician and called in
two gentlemen residing iu the neigborhood,
who remained with Mr. Lawton until his
death. Last fall, we are informed, the de
ceased had a similar attack and only prompt

death of our fellow members, yet we bow in
