BANKING HOUSES.
A Strong Argument lu Favor of a
Change.
8ome time since we mentioned the action
of a number of our prominent merchants in
regard to the hours of closing the banks.
There was a general disposition, in view of
the commercial necessities of the city, to
have the closing hour at three instead of
two, and measures were adopted with that
view. In accordance with the action then
taken, a circular letter has been addressed
to the cashiers of the various banks, of
which the following is a copy:
Savannah, September 1, 1380.
Sir—We, the undersigned, having been
appointed by the Hon. John F. Wheaton,
Mayor, a committee to consider the ad visa
bilitj’ of recommending a change in the
banking hours heretofore^ustomarv in this
citj-, and to take action accordingly, on the
23d of August, after due deliberation, unani
mously adopted the following resolution:
“That it is the opinion of this meeting
that the commerce of the city of Savannah
will be benefited by the banks of the city
closing at 3 p. m. during the fall and win
ter months.”
A sub committee was appointed who will
be pleased to discuss the merits of the above
resulutiou before the board of directors ol
your bank, if granted the privilege.
In support of the above resolution, we beg
to call attention to the following facts:
The Commercial Exchanges of the con
trolling commercial centres of this coun
try do not close until 3 o’clock p.
m. More telegrams, both domes
tic and foreign, are received during
the hour from 2 to 3 o’clock p. m. than dur
ing any other hour of the day. The bank3
of cities competing with Savannah keep
open until 3 o’clock p. m., giving their cus
tomers advantages denied to merchants in
this city, and business rightly belonging to
this city drifts off to our neighbors.
Under existing mail arrangements and
banking hours, a short delay in the arrival
of the Northern in^il train makes funds ar
riving by it unavailable for that day. Ap
prehension of such delay causes the banks
to hesitate in offering facilities which they
would otherwise be glad to grant. Actual
occurrences of such delay c ause the banks
heavj' losses In the shape of Interest. The
increased volume of business which would
be secured to the city and to its banks by
prolonged banking hours, would repay the
latter for any increase of stall necessitated
by such a step. The permanent advantages
llke’y to accrue to the community ought to
outweigh the consideration of any transient
inconvenience which might result to indi
viduals from the proposed change. Very
respectfully, your obedient servants,

The San Salvador .lIlMttins.
The steamer 8an Salvador, owned by
English merchants, trading between Cuba
and Honduras, Is thought to be lost with all
on board. She left Truxillo, In Honduras,
on August 7, and it is feared she foundered
in the violent cyclone of August 9, which
swept the Caribbean Sea and did great dam
age. Mr. Leaycraft, of No. 42 Broadway, is
agert tor the missing steamer. He said
yesterday that she was a vessel of 971 tons,
built in Wilmington in 1S59, com
manded by a Honduras gentleman named
Park and, with the exception of the first
mate and engineer, manned by a colored
crew. He had rece.Ived a telegram from a
Havana firm acting as agents to the 6teamer,
stating that they i bought 6he had been lost
in the storm above mentioned, but no
definite information had come to hand. She
might have been stranded on the Mexican
or Mosquito coast, and in that case months
might elapse before any tangible news re
specting her fate could be learned.—New
York Herald, 7th.
The San Salvador formerly ran to this
port for a number of years, and will be w'ell
remembered.
A Triangular Case,
Magistrate Waring Russell, Jr., had a sin
gular case before hi m yesterday. A party
giving the name of Wm. Block charged E.
J. Bonder with au assault and battery, and
he was arrested. Bonder then charged
that a man named Chas. Blazer had struck
him with a stick during his difficulty with
Block. Blazer was arrested and gave bonds.
At the same time he took out a pejtce war
rant against Bonder, stating that ho was in
fear of his life. Bonder being unable to
give bonds was committed to jail. All the
parties will be brought up for trial before
the City Court on Monday.
Tlie Registration Law,
Editor Morning Xeuss. The registration act
of Chatham county Is purely a local matter,
and does not affect voters for Governor and
State House officers. The act of 1873, cre
ating a Board of Commissioners for this
county (sectioa 12), says: “The applicant to
vote at the election for Senators and Repre
tentative* of the State legislature and county
officers shill, etc. 11 Any citizen otherwise
competent, though unregistered, if be has
paid his taxes as required, has a right to
vote at the coming election for Goveraor
and Representative to Congress. X.
Excursion to Tybee.
The steamer Plant will leave her wharf
for Tybee at ten o’clock thi6 morning for
the accommodation of the Good Templars,
now* visiting the city, and will leave the
Island at 4:30 o’clock for the city. This is
a fine opportunity for those who wish to en
joy the trip to Tybee.
Furniture at a Bargain.
Attention is directed to the advertisement
of Mr. M. Boley in another column. It will
be seen that he is selling furniture at very
low prices, and as his steck is large aud
complete, it wili repay those needing any
thing in his line, to call at his establishment
and see what good bargains they can get.
Ready tor Sea.
The brig Lizzie M. Merritt, which arrived
herejsome time since from Pascagoula for
Philadelphia in distress, has had her pumps
repaired and put in position. She is now
pronounced, by the board of survey held
yesterday, iu condition to proceed on her
voyage, and will probably sail to day.

Georgia closed its session in this city yea
terday evening after a three day’6 session,
in which one hundred and thirty of the
representative temperance mtu and women

would leave for Tybee at ten o’clock, and,
on motion, as many of the members of the
Grand Lodge as desired were excused from
attendance in order that they might have a
view of old ocean—a sight which many of
them had never seen. Quite a number
availed themselves of the opportunity and
went on the trip, leaving, however, many
who refused to go until the business had all
been transacted.
THE GOOD TEMPLARS’ ORGAN.
The question as to the indorsement of
the Southern Templar, published in Atlanta,
as the official organ of the Grand Lodge of

unanimously adopted:

CHATHAM’S DEMOCRACY.
MAMMOTH MASS MEETING AT
THE THEATRE.
Delegates to the Congressional and
Senatorial Conventions Elected—
Representatives to the Legislature
Nominated—A Strong Ticket—An
Expression of Opinion.
Iq accordance with the call of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, a mass meeting
of the citizens of Chatham county was held
at the Theatre last evening. In view of
the great interests at stake there was an
ticipation of an immense throng, and this
expectation was fully realized, as the
building was packed to its utmost capacity,
even the family circle being crowded.
Promptly at 8 o’clock Col. Josiah L.
Warren, acting Chairman of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, and a number
of the members of the committee, made
their appearance on the stage, and were
welcomed with applause by the vast audi
ence.
When the applause subsided Col. Warren
advanced to the front of the stage and ad
dressed the meeting as follows:
Fellow-Citizens: The Democratic party of
Chatham county, in accordance with the
call of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, are assembled here to night for im
portant business. First, to select delegates
to the Congressional Convention, which
meets in this city on the 16th lost.
Secondly, to select delegates to the
Senatorial Convention, which will meet
in a few days to nominate a
-enator from this Senatorial district, and
lastly, to nominate three Representatives
from Chatham county in the next Legisla
ture. The duties which you are now called
upon to discharge require grave considera
tion, deliberation, mutual harmony and con
ciliation. So far as possible names should
be selected which will be acceptable to all
and objectionable to none. The candidate
for CoDgres3 which you have to select will
be called to sit in a Democratic
nouse, with a Democratic Senate and
under a Democratic President (applause)
for the first time wjthin twenty
years. With General Hancock as President,
with a Democratic Senate and House of
Representatives, it is most important for the
people of the First Congressional District of
Georgia that they should be wisely and ably
represented. This important duty you now
have imposed upon you, but I believe that
the grave responsibilities will be discharged
faithfully. It therefore becomes you to se
lect your delegates with judgment, as
upon them will be the duty of
presenting such a man as will
represent this district and the principles
of the Democratic party. The next Gen
eral Assembly of the State will have duties
ol peculiar responsibility presented for their
consideration. In addition to electing a
Senator for the United States Senate, they
will have a duty never before imposed on
the General Assembly—the election of a
Chiet Jusice and two Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court. Since the organization
of that court no such contingency has here
tofore arisen.
Then the Railroad Commission is to be
considered, which involves matters deeply
affecting the interests, not only of the city
and couuty, but the material interests of
the State. Never was there a time when we
needed men of more experience, ability and
judgment to properly represent Chatham
county. This is not a time, gentlemen
of the Democracy of Chatham, to wrangle
over personal preferences and prejudices.
[Applause.] It is not a time to dwell on
private grievances and to distract the inter
ests of the Democratic party. In the name
of peace, in the name of harmony, let not
these dissensions enter into your proceed
ings, but calmly and wisely consider of the
many able, worthy and distinguished citi
zens in your midst who will properly as
sume the duties you desire, and who will
represent the important Interests you have
at stake. Let us, gentlemen, come up to this
matter as freemen, with the perfect right
to say how this business shall be performed.
It is the right of every Democrat to be
heard on these important questions; the
right to be heard in such a manner as not
to trammel his free expression. It is the
perfect right of any man to seek to give the
direction as to how the proper men shall be
chosen. The voice of this meeting should
be the voice of the Democracy of Chatham
county. [Loud and continued applause.]
In whatever discussion may arise, I earn
estly Invoke the spirit of courtesy and re
spect to every one. All should have a respect
ful hearing, and let us make this meeting
celebrated for its courtesy and kindness and
an honor to the Democracy of Chatham.
[Enthusiastic applause.] I now declare
this meeting ready for such business as may
properly come before it.
THE BALL OPENS.
Mr. B. Donovan promptly presented the
following resolution, which received several
seconds:
In order to preserve harmony, good feel
ing and unity of purpose in the ranks of
the Democratic party, and to insure fairness
to all, and to obviate any censure or false
charges against the Chairman of this meet
ing, in reference to packed committees;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Chairman of this meet
ing select the names of forty citizens pres
ent, which names shall be written on paper
ballots, deposited iu a hat and well shaken,
fifteen of which shall be drawn from the hat
by the Chairman of this meeting, and the
first fifteen so drawn shall constitute a nomi
nating committee to select suitable dele
gates and alternates to the Congressional
Convention which meets in Savannah on
the 10th.
Resolved, That the second fifteen so drawn
shall constitute the nominating committee
to select suitable delegates and alternates to
the Senatorial Convention, and also to nomi
nate candidates to represent Chatham coun
ty in the next Legislature.
Resolved, That these committees retire and
report the results of their actions, at this,
or some subsequent meeting, reporting the
names of the candidates for the Legislature,
and the names of the delegates and alter
nates selected by each, reporting them one
at a time for ratification by the same.
Mr. Waring Russell presented the follow
ing as a substitute:
Resolved, That we arc in favor of primary
elections being held in each militia district
of ihe county to elect delegates to the Con
gressional Convention, which convenes in
Savannah, September 16, 1880. That for
this purpose, primary elections will be held
In each militia district in the county on
September 13, 1880, from 8 o’clock p. m. to
10 o’clock p. in. in the city districts, and
from 12 in. to 2 p. m* in the country dis
tricts, for the purpose of selecting six dele
gates and six alternates to said Congres
sional Convention.
2. That persons shall be ballotted for at
such elections and the election shall be su
perintended by the Chairman and Secretary
of each meeting ; that the ballots cast shall
be sealed up, and on the day following such
elections, at 12 m. the Chairmen of the
different meetings shall assemble together
at the court house in this county aud count
and consolidate the votes cast at such elec
tions, and report the result to the Chairman
or acting Chairman of the Democratic par
ty ; that the six persons receiving the high
est vote shall be cjeclared by hlqa to bp thp
delegates, and those receiving the next
highest the alternates.
Resolved, That the mode and manner of
selecting delegates and alternates to the
Congressional Convention, namely, by bal
lot in the different militia districts of the
county,be the inode and manner of selecting
them for the Senatorial Conventicn.
Whereas, The Democratic party, in ma?a
ineetiDg assembled at SU Andrew’s Hall to
select delegates to the Atlanta Convention,
which was to appoint delegates to the Cin
cinnati Presidential Convention, did, on the
4th day of June, demonstrate their inten
tion to decry all efforts to control the voters,
or gag off a free expression of the will of
the people, by packing meetings or noisy
demonstrations; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the Democratic party
of Chatham county, in mass meeting assem
bled, unqualifiedly pondemn any efforts to
control the will of the people by cliques,
rings or combinations.
2. We are opposed to departing from the
time honored custom of the Democratic
f >arty in this cougty as to the mode of se
eding delegates to the convention to nom
inate Representatives from this county to
the Lower House of the General 4 ssem bly.
3. That we favor the system heretofore
used, namely, the selection of delegates by
primary district meetings, an4 oppose all
othpr modes of selecting and naming dele
gates to such nominating conventions.
4. That primary meetings be held in the
several militia districts in the countv on
Monday, the 13th day of September, 1SS0,
at. 8 o’clock p. in. in the city districts and at
12 m. in the country districts; that each of
the city districts select ten and the country
districts three delegates, who shall consti
tute the nominating convention to nominate
candidates to be voted for by the voters of
the county as members of the House of
Representatives, and that vacancies in e^ph
delegation «haii be filled by the respective
district delegations.
5. That such delegations shall meet in
convention on Monday, the 20th day of
September, at 12 m., at the court house in
said county, and there carry out the pur
poses of their organization.
A motion was made to lay the substitute
on thp tabic, which wseconded from
various portions of the house.
The Chair stated that the motion to lay
the substitute on the table carried with it
the original resolution, and then put the
question.
The motion to lay on the table vfas de
clared carried, the ayes being largely in the
majority. 3 on 3e ip tjie house, notwith
standing the declaration of the Chair, were
under the impression that only the substi
tute was laid on the table, and called fQr
the original resolution.
The Cbqlr again stated that in accordapce
with parliamentary rqles the entire matter
was laid on the table by the adoption of the
motion to lay the substitute on the table.
THE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION.
Mr. B7 A. Denmark then offered the fol
lowing resolution:
Mr Chairman: As to the Congressional
matter I offer the following resolutions:
1st. That the following citizens be select
ed as delegates to the Congressional Con
vention, meeting here on the 16 h inst.
P. W. Mtldrim, Daniel O’Connor,
M Hamilton, G. M. Ryals,
W. G. CharltoD, W. B. Mell.
fcd.•-That these delrgates have the right
to select their own alternates.
While these gentlemen will, if selected,
go uclnstructtd, their preference is for the
Hon. A. Pratt Adams, of this city.
3}me desultory discussion here ensued,
when Mr. Donovan moved that the resolu
tion of Mr. Dec mark be laid upon the table,
which was seconded.
Mr. Denmark requested that before this
motion was put, that his resolution be read
again, in order that the meeting might
thoroughly and distinctly understand its
Import.
The resolution was again read by the Sec
retary, Captaiu H. C. Cunningham.
The motion to lay it on the table was re
newed, and on the question being put by
the Chair, it was declared lost.
Mr. Denmark then called fora vote on his
resolution.
Mr. T. J. Sheftail moved that the name of
Hon. J. F. Wheaton be substituted for Mr.
W. B. Mell, which was seconded, but on
being put to a vote was lost.
The resolution of Mr. Denmark was then
submitted, and was adopted amidst ap
plause.
The Chair announced that the question of
the Congressional delegation having been
disposed of, the next business in order was
the selection of delegates to the State
Senatorial Convention.
THE SENATORIAL DELEGATION.
Mr. M. J. O’Connor offered the following,
which was received with great applause,
and was adopted without a dissenting voice:
R it resolved. That we, the Democratic
party of Chatham county, in mas6 meeting
assembled, do heartily indorse the able and
patriotic course pursued by our friend and
fellow-citizen, Hon. Rufus E. Lester, as
Senator from the First district of Georgia
during the past twelve years, aud In giving
expression to our sincere and united ap
proval of the same, we unanimously request
his consent to serve during another term.
Resolved further, That we unanimously
recommend him to the Senatorial Conven
tion and to the suffrages of the people at
the approaching election.
Mr. W. G. Charlton arose and stated that
he held in his hand a resolution which he
had prepared, and which seemed to him
perfectly fair, and which he thought would
meet the approbation of the meeting. He
would read it, however, and leave it to the
meeting to reject or adopt it as might be
deemed proper.
Resolved, That the Democracy of Chatham
county, in mass meeting assembled, heartily
Indorse our distinguished fellow citizen,
Hon. Rufus E. Lester, for Senator from the
First Senatorial District of Georgia, and
respectfully urge bis high claim upon the
counties composing the district.
Resolved, That the following citizens con
stitute the representation of Chatham coun
ty in the approaching Senatorial Conven
tion:
DELEGATES.
Charles Collins, Jordan F. Brooks,
Luke Carson, R. D. Bogart-,
Van R. Winkler, Thomas Ballantyne. M
ALTERNATES.
J. J. McGowan, E. F. Bryai^
A. C. Harmon, B. U. Richardson,
T. P. Ravenel, George Allen.
Resolved, That each delegate, In the event
of his inability to attend the convention,
may select his alternate from those selected
by this meeting.
The resolution received several seconds.
Capt. Cunningham approved the resolu
tion, hut thought the introduction unneces
sary, as a resolution of similar character
had been adopted, and he moved that that
portion be stricken out.
Mr. Charlton said he was perfectly wil
ling under the circumstances for the por
tion laudatory to Col. Lester to be stricken
out.
The resolution containing the names of
the delegates and alternates to the Sena
torial Convention was then put and carried
with enthusiasm.
THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
The Chair announced that the next busi
ness before the meeting was the selection of
three Representatives to the General
Assembly.
Mr. L. P. Ashby moved that the ticket for
Representatives comprise one lawyer, one
workingman and one merchant. [Laughter
aud applause ]
Mr. Ashby said: In making this motion, I
desire it to be dist nctly understood that I
am a workingman. [Applause.] This coun
ty has had no workingman representing it
iu the Legislature for thirty-seven years. It
is due to the workingmen of the State of
Georgia that some consideration should be
shown them. I am not ashamed to pro
claim that I am one of the workingmen.
[A voice—“Don’t you want to go to the
Legislature?” Laughter and applause,which
continued for some time, interrupting the
speaker.]
The chair expressed the hope that the
speaker would be treated with all respect
and courtesy, and that he would not be
again interrupted. [Applause.]
Mr. Ashby resuming, 6aid: A gentlemen
has asked if 1 wanted to go to the Legisla
ture. In reply, I will say I am not a candi
date; I have no axe to grind. But I will
say that if ever there has been a class neg
lected by the politicians of this county, it is
the workingmen. [Applause.] I came
here to-night in their interests and to advo
cate the claims of the workingmen to repre
sentation. If you decide against that class,
which is an important element in the com
munity, and which, if united, is a power, I
will say to you that we have a way, if we
take it in our own hands, by which we wiil
be represented in spite of the politicians.
[Demonstratioa, laughter and great ap
plause.] I set it before you in plain terras
and in an emphatic manner as a humble
citizen, but firmly and emphatically we
insist that the workingmen shall be repre
sented. [Applause ] I have said about all
I wanted to say on this subject plainly and
concisely. I have uoited myself
with you to elect our honored and respect
ed fellow citizen, Hon. Thos. M. Norwood,
for Governor [loud and continued applause],
I was for our Rufus, but when he was ruled
out by a minority of a minority, I was for
Norwood. When Norwood goes into office
as Governor on the 6th of October, as I hope
aud believe he will, I want him to have a
worthy representation in the Legislature
from Chatham, and among them a work
ingman. [Applause].
Mr. G. J. Bulloch arose and said he was
no politician, but he thought the views of
the gentleman who had just spoken should
receive due consideration.
The question was called on Mr. Ashby’s
resolution, which was then unanimously
adoDted.
[Voice—“Let the three be good Demo
crats.” Applause].
Mr. W. G. Charlton took the floor and
said: I have the honor to present for your
consideration the names of three gentlemen
as Representatives to the Legislature in re
sponse to the resolution ju6t adopted—re
presentative men of our city, men whose
character Is beyond reproach, and whose
well known ability is guarantee that
Chatham county with its vast interests at
stake will be faithfully and ably represented,
I offer the following:
W. S. Basinger, the lawyer; G. N* Nichols,
the representative woikingmaD; D. C. Ba
con, the merchant. [Applause.]
[Voice in the gallery—“Give us militaiy
men and be done with it.”|
The three names were then submitted to
the meeting, and adopted with great enthu
siasm:
THE UNITED STATES SENATQRSHIP.
Captain 4- A. Winn offered the following,
which was greeted with the greatest enthu
siasm.
Resolved, That the citizens of Chatham
county, in mass meeting assembled, do
most cordially endorse and strougly recom
mend to our Immediate representatives, and
to the people of Georgia, to fill the unex
pired term in the United States Senate, oc
casioned by the resignation of the lion.
John B. Gordon, our distinguished fellow
citizen, Gen. A. R. Lawton.
The resolution was seconded frpm various
quarters, and was unanimously adopted
amid applause.
When the demonstration ceased, the
Chair stated that General Lawton was sit
ting to his right, though not in view of the
audience.
Immediately there were cries of “Law-
ton” throughout the house, when Gen.
Lawton came forward. As he appeared on
the 6t§ge, the assemblage greeted him w
a most enthusiastic demonstration.
As soon as the applause subsided, Gen.
Lawton, addressing the meeting, said:
Fellow citizens of Chatham county—
Not often have I been embarrassed in
appearing before you In any capacity in
which I have been called to act, from the
simplest to the highest. I say it, and I feel
you will believe I am sincere that I had no
idea of any such resolution being introduced
or so flatteringly and cordially passed or I
would not have been here. It is, however,
another evidence of the klndhess which ha*
always been accorded me in this community.
With my hand on my heart, I can truly say
that I have never sought office from you
though appreciating the honors you have
bestowed upon me [applause]. I may say
here, however, that from different parts
of the §tate, I have received letters urging
me to become a candidate for this high
position, but ! have not qncounced myself
until presented by coy own community in
this most flattering manner. [Applause.]
Up to this time no such announcement has
ever been made by my authority. I say it
with pride that 1 have letters from many
distinguished Democrats in the State on the
subject, and If it is the pleasure of the peo
ple to place me in this high position i will
take all the risk and responsibilities,
and whether in success or defeat
I stall never forget this demonstration by
you, my fellow-citizens. : Applause). These
offices belong to the people and not to any
one man or set of men, and when any man is
presented who is considered better and more
4ble to strike down a coalition that would
seek to make these offices subjects of bar
gain or sale, or who may be deemed
i with
better qualified for the high position,
my name will be withdrawn. [Ap
plause]. Whenever I shall be advised by
the citizens of Georgia that my name is
the cause of distraction or occasion of dis
cord, I will promptly retire. In the full
ness of mv heart I return you. ray fellow
citizens, thanks for this flattering expres
sion of your kindly feelings and wishes,
and I can tell you that if it shall result
in defeat, no man. no friend of mine
shall ever blush for any effort I m y
make in the contest. I will at all hazard
be guided by self respect. Should
your wish be gratified, and my pride
be gratified, for such a pr ze so tendered
can but excite emotioD, 1 will en
deavor to represent faithfully your Interests
and good name, and the people of the State
of Georgia. [Applause.] I return my
thanks for the resolution which has enabled
me to offer my name to the service of the
people of Georgia, and again tender you
mv acknowledgment for your most fla ter-
ing commendation. [Loud and continued
,p & a Ti
O’Byrne offered the following,
which was received with applause, and on
being put to the meeting, declared to be
unanimously adopted:
Resoved, That this meeting heartily in
dorses the nomination of T. M. Norwood as
Governor.
Calls were made for Mr. Adams, when
the Chair stated that the gentleman was not
present.
Mr. Denmark suggested that before call
ing for speeches it would be well to appoint
a committee to wait upon the gentlemen
presented for the Legislature and notify
them of their nomination,and made a motion
to that effect. The motion was carried and
the Chair appointed as the committee
Messrs. B. A. Denmark, H. C. Cunningham
and J. W. Wilson, Jr.
Loud calls were made for Mr. Charlton,
who finally came forward and stated that he
had no speech to make, aud after express
ing his deep interest in the issues before the
them and congratulating the meeting upon
the harmony that had characterized the
proceedings, retired amidst applause.
Major A. B. Smith offered the "following
resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved, That this meeting recommend
that the delegates chosen from the coun
ties of Effiugham, Chatham and Bryan to
the Senatorial Convention, meet at No. 2,
Central Railroad, on the 21st day of Septem
ber inst., for the puipose of nominating a
Senator for the First S natorial district.
On motion the meeting was then ad
journed. It was one of the largest, and
considering all things, the most orderly and
harmonious that has ever been held in a
building in this city. The proceedings were
unmarked by dissension or discord of any
character, the business being disposed of in
a very reasonable time.
OUR HARBOR.
Important improvement* on tlie
River—Romney lUarwli to be
Flanked.
We are pleased to learn that arrange
ments have been perfected by the McKay
contractor with Mr. Roland G. Ross to un
dertake and carry out that important work to
a speedy completion. The material is already
arriving, and by the 1st of October, it is un
derstood, the work will be commenced on
the river. The openings between the islands
from Elba to Cockspur will all be closed
and a solid south shore to the main or
northern channel will be made, and a north
shore to the south channel will be con
structed by the same operation. This, with
a partial closing of the south channel at
the “obstructions,” will, it is be
lieved, give stronger currents In the
north channel, and thereby maintain
aDy depth of water that may be deemed
necessary to give that channel by dredging.
The cross-tides dam is throwing a large
volume of water from Back river Into the
Savannah, and when the harbor of this city
is properly widened by cutting off portions
of Fig Island and Kinsey’s Point and vi
cinity. it is hoped that ships drawing more
than twenty feet of water can come to our
wharves with the tide.
IMPROVEMENTS ABOVE SAVANNAH.
In this connection it is appropriate to
mention we are in receipt of reliable infor
mation that the work of a survey of the
Savannah river from this city to "Augusta
has been ordered by the United States En
gineer Department, and the work placed
under the direction of Colonel Fremont,
now in charge of all the improvements on
this river as well as of works at Brunswick
and the Inland passage to Florida.
Colonel Fremont, we understand, expects
to place a party upon this survey on about
tbe 15th of this month, and to submit a re
port of the same on or before the 10th of
November.
Col. Fremont Is desirous of obtaining as
much information as possible from any and
all of our river navigators as they can and
are willing to communicate to him. He
only received his orders yesterday, and de
sires to make the examinations and secure
tne most reliable data as to places needing
improvement, so that as little time may be
lost in finding shoals, sandbars, rocks and
snags as possible, it being important to
have the report before Congress in time
to procure an appropriation at its next ses
sion.
ROMNEY MARSH, JEKYL’S CREEK, ETC.
Colonel Fremont has just finished a sur
vey of Romney marsh, and will recommend
the cutting of a canal from the end of tbe
Habersham cut to Odinsell river, a distance
of half a mile, by which the Romney marsh
creeks will be altogether avoided and one
or two miles In distance 6aved. This will
be a great advantage to our inland steam
ers, not only in saving time, but in avoiding
detentions, so frequent In coming through
the marsh. He will, next week, make a
survey also of Jebyl's creek, near Bruns
wick, which, we learn, has become nearly
impassable at low tides, and where the in
land steamers are frequently detained.
It is desired to obtain appropriations at
the next session of Congress for all of these
works, and therefore there is much to be
done in a short time by the Engineer De
partment of Savannah, which has charge of
the entire work. This subject is one in
which Savannah is deeply interested, and
we are sure our business men especially
will be pleased to learn of these practical
efforts being made to increase the facilities
of our harbor.
Cotton Crop Report lor August.
We have received from Mr. E. F. Bryan,
Superintendent of the 8avannah Cot
ton Exchange the following report for the
month of August, condensed from the re
plies of correspondents from sections allot
ted to it by the National Cotton Exchange :
GEORGIA — EIGHTY-THREE REPLIES FROM
FIFTY-ONE COUNTIES.
The first part of the month of August
there was too much rain for the cotton
plant, then it became too hot and dry, caus
ing rust and ehedding of forms and young
bolls; the weather was les6 favorable than
same month last year. Picking commenced
about 15th of August in Southern Georgia,
and about the last of the month in Northern
Georgia, and in a few days became general,
the excessive hot suns opening and maturing
the bolls unusually fast. Worms appeared
only in nouthern Georgia, and even there
but little Injury was done. The present
prospect of the crop is more promising than
at 6ame date last year, but the yield after
wards w T as increased 10 per cent, by second
growth and an unusually late frost. As the
rains commenced a month later this year
we cannot look for much result from second
growth this season,
During the last days of August and the
first of September this State was visited by
a severe wind and rain storm which de
stroyed much of the then open cotton.
FLORIDA—SEVENTEEN REPLIES FROM ELEVEN
COUNTIES.
The weather during the month of August
was generally favorable, about on a par with
last year, with a little too much rain during
the first part of the month. Tbe plant has
been Injured by both rust and shedding,but
not by worms to any extent, though re
ported generally throughout the State. The
plant has not fruited as well as expected,
but better than last year. Picking became
general about the 20th of August. Jn the
sea island section the condition of the plant
is reported slightly better than at this date
last year. No injury from worms, but rust
and shedding have cut down estimates 10
per cent.
Considerable damage was done to the cot
ton crop by the severe gale during the last
days of August and beginning of Septem
ber.
