Old Books.
There ere thousands of copies of old
books, magazines anil other valuable publi
cations that are annually destroyed or ruined
beyond use by not having them properly
bound in time. The art of binding a book
is one with which but few people are ac
quainted, aud the nicety required in giving
book a good cover and ship shape appear-
auee is but little appreciated by those who
daily handle books. Attached to the Morn
ing News blank book manufactory, in fact
necessarr part of it, is a Book Bindery,
where the process of putting a book together,
sewing it, covering it, putting oa the leather
aud gilding it, after it comes from the
printer, is the especial business of a number
of skillful workmen. Here a lot of maga
zines, or old books, apparently worthless,
are, under the hands of the book binder,
turned into handsome volumes lor the libra

solicited to send it to the Morning News
bindery, where it can be done in the best
style aud at reasonable prices.
A Haadvome Residence.
We notice that the residence which has
been in course of erection on the corner of
Tattnall and Joues street during the past
few months has been completed and is oc
cupied by the owner, Mr. F. Van
Wagenen. This is one of the handsomest
residences in the neighborhood, and
attracts considerable attention. We
learn that the architect is Mr. John Har
rington, and the work was entirely
done under his supervision. The unique
and beautiful cornice which adorns the
portico and the. dwelling is of his own
design, and reflects great credit upon
his skill aud genius, at the same time
proclaiming him an accomplished archi
tect and experienced mechanic. The resi
dence is a dt-clded acquisition to the locali
ty, and its owner is to be congratulated
upou the excellent manner in which Mr.
Harrington has done the work.

SAVANNAH COTTON EXCHANGE.
Annual Meeting;—Interesting Report
of the Board ot Directors—Oar
Business Prospects*
The seventh annual meeting of the Sa
vannah Cotton Exchange was hejd yester
day, and was largely attended. The annual
report of the Board of Directors, through
the President, Captain W. W. Gordon, was
submitted and read. It contains informa
tion of importance not only to the members
but to our business community generally,
and was listened to with great interest.
From the report we glean the following:
THE EXCHANGE IN A FLOURISHING CON
DITION.
The reports of the Finance and other
standing committees show that the work of
the Exchange has been satisfactorily per
formed, and that its usefulness is recognized
and endorsed in the most significant way—
by its continued and increasing prosperity.
The Finance Committee report a net gain
of eight in the number of members and of
nine In the number of attorneys, bringing
the roll up to one hundred aud tweuty-r
the largest exhibit since the formation of
the Exchange.
They also submit estimates for the coming
year smaller than for previous years, and
are enabled to do so mainly because of the
reduction in rent, obtained by the special
committee in renewing the lease of these
rooms.
As a gratifying result of increased mem
bership and reduced expenses, they recom
mend that the dues for this year be fixed at
sixty dollars.
THE NATIONAL COTTON EXCHANGE AND ITS
BENEFIT.
They call attention to the assessment for
the maintenance of the National Cotton Ex
change, and the expenses of delegates to
the biennial sessions of the National Con
vention. The amount thus contributed-is
undoubtedly large. What is the return for
this expenditure ?
The formation ot a National Cotton Ex
change has accomplished—
First. The establishment of a uniform sys
tem of crop reports in all of the cotton
growing States.
Second. The establishment of a reliable’
bureau of statistics in New Orleans, by which
the movement ot the crop is recorded with
an accuracy never before attained.
Third. The establishment of uniform type
samples of the various grades of cotton, to
which the standards in all the cotton mar
kets of America and Europe approximate, if
they do not conform.
Fourth. The social gathering, at stated
periods,of representatives from nearly all the
cotton markets of America, where acquaint
ances are made, views and opinions inter
changed, and matters of general interest are
freely and fully discussed.
The National Exchange is the recognized
representative of the cotton trade of America.
Its recommendations exert an influence
greater and more widely extended thin
those of any of the local exchanges.
Through it alone can suggestions of value
to the trade be given general scope and
effect.
Before considering the question of sever
ing our connection with an organization so
valuable in many respects, would it not be
well to try to reduce its expenses and thus
enable the less wealthy exchanges to be
come or continue members, aud in this way
again reduce the expense by dividing it
among a larger number of members.
THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF LOCATION.
The special committee, appointed a year
ago, to whom was referred the question of
“ retaining this Exchange In Its present loca-
or of making other arrangements at
making thi* one of the most important mar
kets for such products in America.
The connection of the Atlantic and Gulf
Railroad track with the track of the Cen
tral Railroad, thereby giving the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad access to the wharves of
the Ocean Steamship Company, is subject
for congratulation, because it expedites all
freights, and especially because It gives to
the fruits and vegetables of South Georgia
and Florida that dispatch which the Central
Railroad gives to those from other parts of
Georgia, aud which is so essential to their
profitable cultivation.
ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
The business prospects of Savannah are
very encouraging. Both the wholesale and
retail trade has been larger than ever before.
That it has been profitable, is shown
by the new stores and dwellings
built. the old ones renovated.
And this prosperity is founded
upon a substantial basis. People buy more
because they have worked hard, lived
economically and have a surplus to spend.
This is true of the city and still more of the
surrounding country, and the prosperity of
a commercial city depends upon the pros
perity of the country of which it is the out
let. Last season crops of all kinds were
abundant, and notwithstanding the low
brices realized by planters, something re
mained to them beyond the cost of produc
tion. This surplus was invested in meat
cheaper than ever before known, in mules
at aute helium prices, in fertilizers at re
duced rates. No planter had to buy corn.
All labor contracts (made during Christmas
week) were based upon prices for cotton
current last December. The result has been
the production of crops this season at mini
mum cost, which at present prices are veiy
remunerative to the producers.
The planters are spending their profits in
the purchase of more wagons, gins, con
densers, screws, small steam engines and
similar agricultural machinery than at any
period for many years past.
When our constituents can provide liber
ally for current expenses and also increase
their fixed capital by judicious Investments,
it must be allowed that there are good rea
sons for the assertion that the business pros
pects of Savannah are very encouraging and
are founded upon a solid basis.

Citf Bond** Endorsed by

The city of Savannah bonds issued origi

years, and endorsed by the Southwestern
Railroad Company, fell due on the 1st inst.
aud holders to the amount of about $80,000,
refusing to accept the compromise offered
by the city, bad them protested. We learn
that arrangements are being made by the
Central Kailroad and Banking Company to
take them up as soon a6 matters can be
arranged with our municipal authorities for
their replacement by new bonds.The
original issue amounted to $lli,000, oi
which amount about$37,000 have been com
promised.
Board ol Survey.
A survey was held yesterday on the
schooner West Dennis, coal-laden, from
Philadelphia for Charleston, which put into
Tybee on October 29th, by two Port Ward

the severity of the weather. She came up
to the city on the 30'ii, and was Imu.ed up

nouncing her iu condition to proceed to her

The arrangements for the twenty-four

pleted. The money stakes has been placed
in the hands of responsible persons, the
amount having been reduced to $100 a
Bide Instead of $200. This was render-
ed necessary, we learn, by the failure
of some friends of Mr. Harkins, who had
pledged themselves to make good their
promises to back him. Prof. Tobias gener
ously consented to the reduction iu the
amount of the stake, in orderthatthe match
should take place. . , ,
The contest will take place at St. Andrew’s

A Blbolou* Bootblack In a Bad Way
About half-past twelve o’clock yesterday
a large crowd was attracted to the corner
of St. Julian and Whitaker streets by the
report that a young negro was lying dead
iu the street near the pile of beer kegs which
adorns the sidewalk in front of Mr. Gerouu-
den’6 saloon. Sure enough, a half grown
negro—a bootblack by occupation, as his
brush sticking from his pocket indicated—
was found lying in the street in the
shadow of the kegs, dead — drunk.
It seems that he had been sucking the dregs
from the beer kegs until he was completely
overcome and had tumbled to the ground
utterly helpless aud unconscious. A more
thoroughly drunken individual we have
rarely seen. §evpral colored men endeavor
ed to get him on his feet, but he was as
limber as a rag, and finally had to be carried
off between two colored companions.

PROFESSOR B. GALLON.
In ITIemorlam.
It is not often that the decease of a pri
vate citizen produces so deep regret as was
shown in Savannah at the news of Mr.
Bernard Mallon’s death. This is due to
his valuable services as a teacher and to his
admirable personal traits. The qualities
that made him popular and those that made
him useful gave an attraction to his-charac
ter and a success to his profession which
make his death 6eem unusually sad.
His fellow teachers, both here and in At
lanta, have affectionately expressed their
estimate of his merits, and their sorrow at
his death. Yet, perhaps, a friend who knew
and loved him well may be allowed to place
record a tribute to his memory.

the expiration of the present lease,” have
given the subject close and thorough atten
tion.
Three alternatives were considered :
First, to obtain the vacant slip at the foot
of Drayton street, or some other public land
suitably located, and erect a building. This
plan was reluctantly given up when the
legal advisers of the Exchange reported that
it would be impossible to get a good title to
the land.
The second alternative was to contract
with some property holder on the north side
of Bay street for a lease of premises to be
altered to suit the purposes of the Exchange.
The rent named by several landlords for
such a lease male that plan undesirable.
The third alternative was to continue in
the present location at a reduced rent.
The third plan has been adopted.
A new, three years, mortgage for $10,000
is to be given by the owners to the Ex
change, preserving the first lien of the Ex
change upon this and the adjoining build
ing. The interest on this mortgage will
be reduced from 8 to 7 per cent.; the
rent of the rooms occupied by the
Exchange reduced from $2,400 to $1,200 per
annum, commencing from 1st May, 1880.
THE NORTHERN MAILS.
Efforts were made during the summer to
secure a better schedule for the Northern
mail via Charleston. At that time, aud
until very recently, that mail reached this
city at 1:45 p. m., and was distributed by
2:15 p. m. The mall for the North closed
at 2:15 p. m. This necessitated the loss of
a day in answering letters.
It was represented to the Post Office De
partment that if the mail was not delayed
at the junction of the Northeastern Rail
road, near Charleston, for the train to go to
Charleston and return, about two hours in
time could be gained, and its delivery in
Savannah be made at 12 o’clock.
The department refused to change the
schedule. Recently the same representa
tions have been made to the department
through the Hon. B. II. Hill, United States
Senator from Georgia, and more favorable
consideration has been given to what
was certainly a reasonable request. The
schedule has been changed, and since the
3d of November the mail arrives so as to be
distributed and delivered at 1 p. m.,and the
return mail closes at 3 p. m.
TELEGRAPHIC ARRANGEMENTS.
The contract with the telegraph com
pany has been renewed for twelve months
upon the same terms as were made last year.
The Exchange pays three and one-half cents
per code word, and has the option of in
creasing or diminishing the number of words
upon giving due notice of their wishes. One
serious defect exists in the present system
of transmitting news. When the 3few York
Cotton Exchange is closed, no reports come
from European or other markets until hours,
sometimes days, after they are due. As our
contract is with the telegraph company,
there is no reason why reports from mar
kets other than New York should depend
upon the sessions of the New York Cotton
Exchange. '
' Unless the telegraph company changes
this method, it might be well to insert in any
future contract with them a penalty for fail
ure (except from providential causes) to
forward news promptly.
Upon the recommendation of your board,
through its Meteorological Committee, the
Chief of the Signal Bureau at Washington
has changed the service at Tybee from a
station of observation only to a display sta
tion, and made an arrangement with the
Tybee Telegraph Company by which, for a
consideration, said company takes charge
of the station.
A GENERAL REVIEW.
Thus far, this has been a report of mat
ters belongiug exclusively to the Exchange.
It has been customary to add something
concerning the commercial status and busi
ness prospects of 8avannah. Tabular state
ments have been prepared by your Super
intendent and are hereto annexed.
The first gives the receipts, exports and
spot sales of cotton for the years 1877,18
and 1879. It shows that the receipts In 1879
have been nearly 100,000 bales greater than
In 1878, and rnbfe than 300,000 bales greater
than in 1877, and that the spot sales have
kept pace with the receipts.
The second table shows the receipts, ex
ports, spot sales and clearances during Sep^
tember and October of 1876,1877, 18i8 ana
1879. This shows a decrease of 28,000 bales
in receipts and 21,000 bales in spot sales
from the figures of 1878, a decrease which
it is confidently believed will disappear as
the season progresses, as it has resulted
from the later maturity and movement of
this crop. The same table shows that there
have been clearances of 57 cotton-laden
steamships coastwise, 16 steamships and 6
sailing ships to foreign ports in September
and October, 1879, against 55 steamships
coastwise, IU steamships and 14 sailiug ves
sels to foreign ports in September and Oc
tober, 1878.
On November 1, 1878, there were nine
steamships loading for foreign ports; on
November 1,1879, there were twelve steam
ships loading for foreign ports. One lesson
taught by these figures should be especially
noted. It is the increase in the number
and size of the steamships coming to this
port, and the fact that they are supplanting
6ai! vessels more and more every year. To
compete successfully for business a port
must have all the facilities requisite for
64ch vessels. The great length of modern
steamships, in proportion to their draught,
makes tnc straightness of the channel
almost as essential as the depth of water.
The engineers who have charge of
the river impiovements have this in
view. If Congress would appropriate
such sums as would enable them
to carry on their work continuously, they
feel assured they would soon enable the
largest vessels to load their entire cargoes at
the wharves, and go to sea on any tides.
IMPROVEMENTS.
While upon the subject of vessels and
freights, mention should be made of the
new presses erected this summer—one by
the Ocean Steamship Company and two by
tbe Cotton Press Association. The numer
ous prpsses of Savannah were already equal
in capacity to those used in other ports, but
it is computed J>y- experts that a vesse} can
carry pue-fifth more cargo compressed in
either of tbeso three new presses than if
compressed in the old presses.
Attention sbonld also be directed to the
improvements at the Ocean Steamship Com
pany’s wharf for storing fertilizers in bulk,
which will tend to concentrate this im
portant trade in this port; and to the
lmDrovcments going on at the wharves
of Atlr-tfe n--* Gulf Railroad, which
are drawing bithu the naval stores pro
duced in this and the adjacent States, aud
No
chaplet of fairest flowers, and sweetest
sentiments and tendcrest words, is too fair
to be laid on his tomb.
Mr. Malloa was born in Ireland in 1824,
and came to America scarce past his Infancy.
Reared in the State of New York without
the best school advantages, his early educa
tion was imperfect, but his good sense led
him to improve his opportunities, aud quali
fied him to educate his own mind by patient
thought. This 6elf-culture 6tood him in
stead of learning, and gave him that vigor
of mind and administrative ability which
availed him In all emergencies.
Mr. Mallon came South April, 1850, and
settled in Savannah as a teacher. In a few
years he changed his private school for the
joint principalship with the late Mr. John
B. Mallard, of the Chatham Academy. In
1854 he withdrew from this connection and
established, under the Board of Education,
the Public School (corner of Barnard and
Taylor streets), the nucleus of our present
public schools. A year’s charge there sug
gested the necessity of further study, and
he passed the year 1855 at Brown University
in au eclectic course of education, which,
pursued with the earnestness of his nature,
developed his mind and ripened his culture.
Henceforth tbe education of youth occupied
his life. How well he performed its duties
his pupils all will testify.
Returning to Savannah, bringiug with him
his wife, just married, in the fall of 1855, he
established the Massie School, another root
of our public school system, and thence
forth, with an interim of but two or three
years, he labored hard for sixteen years in
our public schools, filling in succession
every position therein. In the fall of 1871
the city of Atlanta summoned him, as Geor
gia’s best practical educationist; to do
for her what be had done for Sa
vannah, and thither he went, chiefly
for bis health’s sake, and to the great regret
of our school board, to perform that task.
Eight years residence there accomplished
his purpose, and made the Atlanta schools
equal to the best iu auy city. So happily
situated was he three, that when, two years
ago, he was offered the Principalship of the
Peabody Normal School at Nashville, and
urged by its Trustees to accept, he declined
the flatter!Dg offer, in the hope to spend, iu
the love and gratitude of its citizens, the
residue of his life In Atlanta.
Vain hope! Personal opposition drove
this good man away from the scene of bi6
good deeds. A man of peace and a servant
of duty, he could not stop to quarrel with
prejudiced opponents, uor stay the work of
education to defend himself from against
their ill will, lie had no heart to labor save
in the hearty co-operation aud social confi
dence of the whole community. Hence he
left the place so endeared to him, aud, at a
time when he was too old to face new
scenes, to try a new climate, and to
live among strangers, he was forced
for peace’s sake to go to a distant
State to undergo them all. Less than two
months of heavy responsibility aud labor in
Huntsville, Southern Texas, whither he had
removed to establish the State Normal
School, broke down his bodily vigor, and
a fierce fever soon carried him off. We
may be sure that the untiring labors of
these two months—the last and, perhaps,
the best services of his life—won him friends
and turned strangers Into admirers; but, yet,
it is a sad pleasure to hear from those who
were with him at the last, how faithfully he
was ministered to In his sickness, and bow
strong men and gentle women showed him
the warmest sympathy and wept tears of
sorrow over his corpse.
Pardon now a few words on the prominent
traits of our dear friend’s character. These
were conscientiousness, firmness and flexi
bility combined, modesty and high toned
honor. If ever a man labored, out
side of a religious work, with a
constant 6ense of duty, it was Mr.
Mallon. In the way of duty he allowed
no obstacle to withstand him, no love of
ease to seduce him, no threats of loss to
frighten him. His labors for the welfare of
schools, his faithfulness in Instruction, the
time he devoted to educational questions,
the sacrifice of ease and comfort he made in
attending educational conventions, all attest
his professional devotion. To a conscien
tious man firmness is a natural quality, for
it grows out of his sense of duty.
Our friend held to his sentiments, un
influenced by fear or favor, never yielding
his convictions unless argument forced him.
Then, with that just flexibility which charac
terizes a fair minded man, he would wil
lingly yield his opinions. Such honest
struggles for the truth made his friends
trust him tbe more when be stood firm.
A crowning grace was our friend’s mod
esty. He never boasted of his successes nor
seemed proud of his popularity. He neither
assqmed to know what he did pot nor was
ashamed to confess his ignorance when be
felt It. His nature was perfectly free from
pretence or 6bam, while his character re
volted at anything mean, selfish or unmanly.
To this basis of virtues gentle, manners, a
sweet disposition, a genial temper and
a sympathizing spirit added their attrac
tions. and made him the lovely character
that he was. Certainly no teacher ever re
ceived higher reverence or greater love from
his scholars, and to day be is sincerely la
mooted by multitudes ot those who, iu his
long career of thirty years as an instructor,
have learned from him the knowledge that
elevates, the principles that ennoble, and the
habits that refine life. W. S. B.

An A pontIe of the Lash—A Colored
Advocate of the Whipping Post.
Stephen Corkle, a colored orator of no
mean ability, who created some sensation
about a year ago in Charlotte, Atlanta, and
other cities, by lectures in favor of abolish
ing penitentiaries, and re-establishing those
ancient institution?, the gallows and the
whipping post, but more especially the
whipping post, is In Charleston again. The
News and Courier of yesterday says :
“He claims to have succeeded in having
capital punishment restored for burglary in
North Carolina, and hoists of having seen
three men hung for that offeuse. He thinks
that if he could devote his whole time to
the purposes of his crusade he could work
up a public opinion that would soon do
away with penitentiaries. As it Is, he has
to work for his Hying, and can only lecture
when he has leisure. Ilis latest job was
employment with the United States survey
ing party that explored the Catawba,
Wateree and Santee rivers; and that has
brought him to Charleston, and he pro-
K).-es while here to give at least one pub
ic lecture on his favorite theme. He
says that he is tired of paying taxes to sup
port rogues, and that thirty-nine lashes on
one man’s back will often save an expense of
$1,500, a share of which falls on every tax
layer. The penitentiary, he say?, is a thing
n the dim distance which has for the law
breaker rather the attraction of mystery and
foreign travel than the horror of punish
ment, while a whipping is an infliction
which he both appreciates and dreads. His
views in full will be given to the public in a
lecture at the City Hall, or some other suita
ble place, on Friday next.
Stephen McCorkle is a tall, 6pare, rather
distingue negro, very black, with high fore
head Inclining to boldness, bright black
eyes, and a downy jet black moustache.
He dresses In a plain suit of black, and has
the general appearance of a respectable
colored clergyman, with the manners of a
well trained butler qf the old school. He Is
stopping at the Miller House, 103 Calhoun
street, where he will be glad to see any one,
black or white, who may sympathize in his
views of the whipping post.”
Judge W* W. Montgomery.
After au absence of some years in Atlan
ta and Savannah on acoount of professional
engagements and for other reasons, Judge
Montgomery has returned to his old home
and will reside here permanently and devote
himself to tbe practice of his profession. By
reason of his high character, scholarly ac
quirements and professional attainments,
he Is an ornament to any community in
which he resides. As a writer, he has very
few if'any superiors in our State. He Is
analytical, concise, clear, and forcible, and
discusses political and finaficial questions
with great ability. As a lawyer he stands at
the head of the profession. Ills modesty,
his virtue and his talents are recognized and
appreciated by all who have the honor of
his acquaintance. While on the bench and
at the bar his labors have ever been charac
terized by tbe most scrupulous personal and
professional integrity and by that cultured
ability and modest worth which appeal to
the intelligence and higher attributes ot
man rather than to his prejudices and pas?
slons. We are pleased to welcome Judge
Montgomery back ^ to Augusta.—Chronicle

Fire from Spontaneous Combustion
—Tbe Telegraph Oat of Order.
Yesterday about 1:05 p. m. smoke was
seen arising from an immense pile of coal at
the yard of Mr. D. R. Thomas, on the wharf
foot of West Broad streot, and an attempt
was made to give an alarm from station No:
4, Upper Cotton Press, which, we learn,
struck in some of the engine houses, but
not on the Exchange gong. A local alarm
was then rung from the Waver engine
house, on Congress street, and the hose reel
sfarted to the scene of the fire. It ap-
jears that the fire was occasioned
yy spontaneous combustion, at the
bottom of an immense pile of s jft coal, over
several hundred tons, and tbe smoke rolled
out freely. There was no flame, and it was
Impossible to locate tbe fire exactly,
although Mr. Thomas had negroes em
ployed in throwing water from buckets on
the coal where the smoke was seen.
For prudential reasons it was de
cided to attempt another alarm,
and Mr, Thomas went to the corner of
Jefferson and Bay streets, where an alarm
was turned In from station No. 12. This
box did not work, and the Exchange gong
failed to respond. Some anxiety be
gan to be expressed at the delay in
notifying the Fire Department, as It was
possible that the fire might break forth in
a fearful flame, in which event the results
would inevitably have been of a serious
character. After considerable trouble, the
firemen were finally signalled, and in about
half an hour after tbe discovery of the
fire they reached the ground. Had
the telegraph been in working order and
the alarm properly sounded tbe department
would have been on the scene with their
usual promptness. Fortunately the danger
was soon over and tbe fire extinguished.
Howbeit, if the tire bad been amoog the
residences in that localit}’, a disastrous con
flagration would have been raging before
tbe arrival of the firemen iu consequence of
