Cholera appears to begetting a foothold
in Europe. It is claimed that it was taken
there from Egypt in cargoes of rags. Sev

are on their way to this country. Surgeon
General Hamilton has notified the Health
Officers of various ports to be on the look
out for them. The thing to do when they
arrive is to burn them and their cargoes.
Congress would no doubt make an appro
priation to cover the loss of the owners.
The amount would be nothing compared
to the loss of life and property that would
follow the introduction of cholera. This
plan of getting clear of some of the sur
plus revenue is an improvement on the
plan of Warton Barker.
The Louisville Courier-Journal, in
speaking of the expected presence of the
President at the opening of the Southern
Exposition next Wednesday, says: “The
President comes to Louisville on no politi
cal mission: he comes as the first citizen
of the republic, as the representative of
the whole people, to tie present at the in
auguration of a great industrial enter
prise. In honoring him we honor our
selves. Nothing will be left undone, and
nothing ought to be left undone, which
can in any way express the resjiect of our
people for the President himself and for
his high office. Peace everywhere pre
vails; partisan bitterness has practically
disappeared from our i>olitics. We have
as our Chief Executive one who com
mands the respect of the whole people.
The occasion is one of broad significance,
and our people will so celebrate it.
“The South should send here her repre
sentative citizens, her men of force and
energy, who, first in war when war pre
vailed, are first in peace when the people
have sought peaceful paths. We are all
citizens of one country, laboring each in
his own way to advance the honor and
the prosperity of the republic. We hope,
therefore, to see in Louisville the leading
men of the Southern States, their old
soldiers, their politicians and private citi
zens, with the men, of the new era who
with energy and an unfaltering faith are
changing the entire industrial aspect of
this country. They should come to wel
come the President of the United States,
our President, and to witness the opening
of the great Exposition of the industrial
forces of the Southern States.*’
These are generous, liberal sentiments,
spoken in a manly way. There is no
reason why the President should not re
ceive as hearty a welcome in the South
as in any other section of the country.
There is hardly any occasion for reiter
ating the tact that the war is orer.
The Extension of the City.
We have frequently pointed out the ad
visability of extending the limits of the
city southward. The necessity for such
extension is every day becoming more
imperative. The city is growing, and it is
the duty of the City Council to remove all
obstructions in the way of its growth.
The previous City Council took hold of
this matter with considerable vigor, an 1
had a bill prepared to.be presented to the
Legislature, but our members declined,
without good reason, as it seems to us, to
introduce it. Tbe bill provided “that the
corporate limits of the city of Savannah
shall be extended as follows: The present
eastern limits of said city shall be ex
tended east along the river hank fifteen
hundred and forty-two feet (1,542 feet),
thence south from the river hank three
hundred feet (300 feet), thence west to in
tercept the line of the eastern side of
that certain canal on east side of said city
known as Jones’ canal extended, thence
south along said extended side of Jones
canal to the eastern side of said Jones’
canal, thence along the eastern side of
said canal to the southern terminus of
said canal, and on the continuation of the
eastern side ot said canal extended in a
southerly direction to the southern line
of farm lots in Jekyl tything, Derby ward;
thence in a westerly direction along the
southern line of said tarin lots in said
ward, and of the farm lots in Tyrconnel
tything, Derby ward, and of farm lots in
Holland tything and Sloper tything,
Pereival ward, to the ogeechee road:
thence along the eastern side of said road
to the southern line of the Springfield
plantation; thence to the western line of
said plantation, and along the western
line of said plantation extended to the
Savannah river.”
The present city limits extend along
the west side of the Ogeechee road, to a
puint about 1,000 reel south of Battery
Park. The proposed extension makes the
south boundary of the city a line running
eastwardly from Battery Park to a point
in the vicinity of Waters road, or, to lo
cate the line so as to lie more readily
recognized, it crosses where the W hite
Bluff shell roail Intersects the track of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway.
The extension, if authorized, will bring
within the city limits quite a large area
of land that is, very desirable for building
lots.
( Ejections, of course, to the extension
are urged, there are objections everwhere
to anything like progress or improvement.
Some of the objectors say that additional
taxes will tie required to meet the in
creased demand for police, water and
light. Some of those who live on
the land and own it are afraid
that their taxes will be largely
increased by becoming a part of the
city. To a certain extent the objections
of both of these parties are valid. They
are not sufficiently strong, however, to
overcome the reasons in favor ot the ex
tension. The topography of the city’s
site is such that the city’s growth must
necessarily be towards the south and
southwest. Indeed, the city is spreading
out in those directions quite rapidly.
Residences are being built south of Ander
son street on streets laid out without any
regard to the plan of the city. If this
matter is not taken in hand now, some
day. in the near future, when it is desired
to extend our principal avenues leading
south, it will lie found the way is bloekeil
by houses. What will then lie done?
Will the extension of the avenues be
abandoned, or will the houses Ik* removed?
The houses will lie removed, ot course,
and the city will lie compelled to hear the
expense not only of removing them, but
of securing the right-of-way. Now the
streets would cost comparatively little.
If the land is covered with buildings,
however, before the streets, such as are
necessary to preserve the harmony and
beauty of the citv, are laid out, the city
will have a very pretty bill to pay when
the extension can no longer be delayed.
There is another thing that must not bo
forgotten. The proposed extension would
encourage the building ot houses. The
most of the lots within the city limits are
now so valuable that only men of wealth
ean afford to build on them. If a lot is
owned by a man of moderate means lie
does not build on it, because he feels that
he cannot afford to spend the amount of
money the value of the lot justifies. The
proposed extension will provide both
cheap and desirable lots, which will find a
ready market. The owners of the prop
erty included in the proposed extension
ought to favor it, if they are at all anxious
to serve their own interests. The
projierty is not now productive.
The only way to make it productive is to
bring it into market in the shape of city
lots. It would then find buyers at good
prices. As its location is eligible, the lots
would offer inducements for investment,
because they would be certain to grow in
value. It would not be long before the
revenues of the city would lie very mate
rially increased on account of the in
creased value of real estate within the
corporate limits. The plea that the cost
of furnishing light, police and water
to the proposed extension would lie greater
than the revenue derived from it may be
correct so far as the first few years are
concerned, but the increase in values will
probably lie rapid, and it will not be long
after the extension is effected Indore the
taxes will more than meet the expenses.
In fact, a large part of the area has now
the benefit of the electric light.
There need be no hurry about
water and police. They will be fur
nished as they are wanted. In 1854 tbe
southern limits of the city were ex
tended from Gwinnett street to Anderson
street, or a prolongation of Lovers’ lane,
as it is called in the act. Those who were
residents of the city at that time will re
member that when that immense area
was taken in there were hut few houses
south of Gordon street. The present jail
was considered out in the country. The
military held shooting contests just east
ot the Savannah Hospital. That exten
sion, as the map shows, doubled
the area of the city. It gave
building in Savannah an impetus, how
ever. which is felt even now. When that
extension was made many poor men and
men of moderate means bought lots and
they realized handsomely on their invest
ments. We are satisfied that the best in
terests of the city require that the corpo
rate limits should be extended as we have
indicated. We hope the matter will re
ceive the careful and unbiased considera
tion of the City Council, anil that no pri
vate or corporate interest will be allowed
to have any weight in reaching a decision.
It will, in all probability, be a good
while liefore any appointments of import
ance are made under the civil service act.
The act does not apply to heads of bu
reaus and chiefs of divisions, and it does
not apply to employes who hold places
which pay less than $!>00 a year. It was
supposed to apply to clerks holding places
paying salaries between S9OO and $2,000.
A day or two ago Secretary Folger asked
the Civil Service Commission whether or
not a woman drawing S9OO salary could
be promoted to a $1,200 clerkship without
a competitive examination. The Commis
sion replied in the affirmative. The effect
of this decision will be that all the clerk
ships of the higher grade will be filled by
promotions from among those already hold
ing government position*. Those examined
by the Commission will have to put up
with the S9OO and SI,OOO positions for
awhile.
The Rev. Dr. Hicks, the spiritual ad
viser of Guiteau, a member of the Repub
lican National Committee, at one time a
politician in Florida, and now a preacher
in Washington, once in a while expresses
an opinion which attracts attention. In
a sermon last Sunday he said:
“The signs of the times portend a coming
change in the administration of affairs of
government. One result certain to be ac
complished by the American Democracy
when they shall assume control of the
government will be the throttling of these
gigantic monopolies, and this fact some
what reconciles me to the change.”
The many friends of Col. W . S. Basin
ger will be gratified to learn that his
prospects for securing the vacant seat on
the Supreme Bench are daily growing
brighter. The latest advices upon the
subject are to the effect that Judge
Reese has withdrawn from the contest,
and that Col. Basinger's election is now
regarded as pretty well settled. Should
the honor fall to his lot, it will he fittingly
bestowed.
Montgomery Blair.
The announcement of the death of Hon.
Montgomery Blair will be heard with j
some surprise, as he was understood to j
be in a fair way of recovering from his j
last attack. Mr. Blair was a son of the
late Francis Preston Blair, long the editor
of the Washington Globe, the Washing
ton organ of the Democratic party. He
was born in Franklin county, Kentucky,
in 1803. He was educated at West Point,
graduating in 1835, and served in
the Seminole war. He resigned
from the army and began the practice ol
law in St. Louis. He was appointed
United States District Attorney in 1839.
and from 1843 to 1849 was a Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas. In 1852 he
removed to Maryland, where his father
resided, and was appointed United States
Solieikir in the Court of Claims.
Up to the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise he had been a Democrat, but
afterwards became a memlter of the
Republican party, in the organization of
which his father took a large
share. Mr. Blair was accordingly
removed from office hv President
Buchanan, in 1857 he appeared as coun
sel for the plaintiff in the celebrated Dred
Scott case. He presided over the Mary
land Republican Convention in 1860, and
in 1861 was appointed Postmaster General
by President Lincoln, This office he held
till IH4. Since that time Mr. Blair acted
with the Democrats. His brother Gen.
Francis Preston Blair, Jr., ran for Vice
President with lion. Horatio Seymour in
1868.
Mr. Blair was a thorough politician, a
profound lawyer and a prominent figure
in the conventions of the Episcopal
Church. His last important move in poli
tics was his entering the Maryland Legis
lature in IX7B, where he moved the famous
Maryland resolutions, the object of
which was to test the validity of
the title of Hayes to the Presidency. The
resolutions, however, came to naught.
Mr. Blair ran for Congress on the Demo
cratic ticket in the Sixth Maryland dis
trict last fall, but was defeated, after an
exciting contest. Despite his weight of
years, Mr. Blair retained his vigor and
strength of intellect until the last.

There is no tariff issue in the campaign.
The live and real issue is the issue be

banishment from power of a party honey
combed with dishonesty and extrava

notorious thieves. Public attention will
not be diverted from this issue by the
shallow pretense that one branch of Con

“smash the tariff,” could do so while the
other branch of Congress and the exeeti

Thus, by the remonetization of silver
was the New York Democratic platforms
of 1874-5-6-7 declaring silver as well as
gold a legal tender, anil thus, by the
repeal of the resumption clause of the
resumption act. so-called, was the Na
tional Democratic platform of 1876 de
manding such repeal,vindicated and given
full force and effect. To these two great
Democratic measures does the country
owe its resumption of specie payments
and the marvelous prosperity it lias since
enjoyed and still enjoys.

A NEW species of sheep, which may be

The tail is covered with short wool. This

The strongest argument against the
enfranchisement of women is, according
to Mr. Labouehere, the power it would
throw into the hands of the clergy. “Of
course,” he savs, “the ladies who so ener

upon public platforms would not be par
ticularly amenable to this influence. But
the vast majority of their weaker sisters
would undoubtedly have recourse to their
pastors, not only for ghostly counsel and
advice, but also for political principles.
Pulpits would more than ever resemble
electioneering platforms, and recent ex
periences have gone far to prove that the
less clergymen have to do with politics
the better.”

know him very well?” “Well, 1 should
say so.” “But, how well?” “Oh, we are

Ella Wheeler says, in a poem, that
it was “at the twilight hour” when “a
dream came to my stern heart’s bolted
door—a sad-faced dream, robed in the
garb of woe.” It she eats ice cream and
a pickle just before retiring, as many
girls do, such dreams will surely come
loafing around her stern heart’s bolted
door, and she’s lucky if they don’t crawl
about her head and frighten the wits out
of her almost. — Norristown Herald.
Rev. Dk. Suavetung was speaking of
the plagues of Egypt. “The Children of
Israel,” he said, “were repeatedly on the
point of manumission, but at the very last
moment the Lord afflicted Pharaoh with
auricular ossification.” It is the unani
mous opinion among the ladies of Ins
flock that Mr. Suavetung is a splendid
preacher. He uses such beautiful lan
guage, you know. — Boston Transcript.
“I rather give a man fifty dollars than
be swindled out of five dollars,” said
Gillyflower the other day. “Well, that’s
strange. What’s your reason for such a
conclusion?’’ “You ijec, if I give you
fifty dollars, that’s put down on the hooks
to ‘charity.’ That looks well. The angels
look over’the bookkeeper's shoulder and
smile sweetly as the words ‘to charity'
are entered. But if lam swindled out ot
five dollars the angels go off behind the
barn and laugh, and the bookkeeper
heaves a sigh as he enters, ‘To blamed
ohl fool, who will never learn anything,
five dollars.’ ” — St, Joe Gazette,

Correspondence of the Morning hews.
Grayson, Ky., July 24.—A refreshing
rain is not more gratefully received by
the parched earth than the Morning
News by me. It comes to me regularly,
and I greet its appearance as cheerfully
and cordially as that of a life-long friend.
When at home it is one of my most valued
exchanges, and here, away from grand
old Georgia, it is doubly prized.
The Democratic party has seemingly
aroused from its apathy as the State elec
tion approaches, and are alive to
the result. The best speakers heretofore
apparently indifferent have entered vigor
ously into the canvass, anil are making
heavy and successful licks in the interest
of the party. A few weeks ago 1 feared
that the Democratic majority would fall
considerably below that obtained in the
last State election. Now, I feel certain
that it will not only be as large, but per
haps larger, since the party rank and file
are exciting itself for a decisive blow to
Republicanism in Kentucky. Proctor
Knott, Democratic candidate for
Governor, as well as his asso
ciates on the State ticket, has
from the very beginning of the can
vass been fighting manfully for the suc
cess of the party, but other prominent
speakers up to the middle of this month
seemed to think’That there was no work
for them to do. Since learning that their
apathy was takeu advantage of by Re
publican speakers who were never more
active, they have buckled on their armor
and are doing noble work. The Repub
lican ticket is headed by a reffbgade
Democrat, who a few years ago in
the State Senate made an effort to
withhold the right of suffrage from the
negro, and went so far as to introduce a
Dill to that effect, supporting which, he
declared that while Congress might have
the constitutional power to grant this
right to the negro in national elections, it
had no right to give him the right to vote
in State elections. His Democratic oppo
nent is using that assertion of his with
tremendous effect in Middle and Southern
Kentucky, where the colored Note is
large. The principal Republican speak
er outside its nominee is Hon. W. O.
Bradley, who Is a brother-in-law
to Colonel Morrow, his party nominee tor
Governor. He, in a public speech in 1872,
declared that if he had a drop of Republi
can blood in his veins he would let it out.
What a flood of corruption would now
issue from lus veins were he to attempt
this minor operation in surgery. General
Wal. Hardin. Democratic candidate for
Attorney General, is daily meeting Brad
ley whenever he can find out his appoint
ments, having called in his published list
of appointments hitherto made, and is ab
solutely playing the Celtic gentlemen also,
lions. ’Carlisle, Uusley, Toulbee, Joe
Blackburn, Carpenter, Beckham
and other able speakers are arousing
the party to action, and a full vote with
glorious victory may be expected. As
burv, the negro Republican, candidate
tor Land Register, spoke here one night
last week. Although he is a bitter pill for
the more respectable element of the par
tv to swallow, yet quite a number of them
met him cordially, and not only sought an
introduction to’ this imported Ohio
negro, but absolutely introduced
him to their wives and daughters. It
made my Bourbon blood fairly curdle
when I heard of this in Kentucky, “the
dark and bloody ground” of the past. As-
Imry, I remarked, was a bitter pill for
white voters to swallow, hut they will
have to gulp him down. I hope that vo
ting for him may, like Rush’s old “ten
and ten,” purge them of Republican bile,
and hereaiter they will not affiliate with
a party that is compelled to nominate a
negro to secure the colored vote, albeit in
doing so they disgust the better element
of the party ad nausea. The nomination
of Asbury was, however, merely a tub
thrown to the whale, and will prove
equally as unsuccessful.
On the 7th of August Neal, one of the
actors in the Ashland tragedy, in which
the Gibbons girls were raped and mur
dered, will be tried here in the Circuit
Court, Judge Brown presiding. The evi
dence of his guilt is overwhelmingly,
erushinglv strong, much stronger than
that which convicted his associate. Craft,
at this place last February, and who will
soon be executed. This case lias created
such intense excitement in this State and
Ohio that the most prominent news
papers in each will have re
porters here to write up and
report the proceedings of the case.
I will report the same for the Morning
News, if physically able to attend the
trial.
I see that the redistricting of our
State is giving some trouble to the Legis
lature. I feared this, lieoause there are
so many would-be Congressmen in that
body, who each wish to be properly loca
ted.
If some of our truck fanners had
been in Cincinnati last week they had
concluded with me that truck farming
has been over-done in Georgia this year.
Melons may pay, hut vegetables scarcely
ever. Such is the opinion of, yours re
spectfully, J. C. C. Blackburn.
Excitement ill Stocks.
A summer flurry is rare among bulls
and bears. These animals are amicable
during the Dog days. But the hulls and
bears of disease arc then rampant. They
pull and tear a system worse than the ten
thousand fiends, * The only way to secure
Deuce in your body is to expel them, as
the money changers were driven out of
the temple. The whip and thongs for the
purpose are provided in Perry Davis’
Pain Killer. There is not a summer dis
ease it won’t master, if you go right at it.

Clias. Houghton. Esq., lawyer, 28 State

under his observation for ten years, which
covered the patient’s body and limbs, and to
which all known methods of treatment had
lieen applied without benefit, which was com
pletely cured solely by the Cuticura Reme
dies, leaving a clean and healthy skin.
Mr. and Mrs. Everett Stebbins, Belcher

bly afflicted with Scrofula, Salt Rheum and
Erysipelas ever since he was born, and noth

tried l uticura Remedies, which gradually
cured him, until he is now as fair as any

“REX MAGNUS.”
Unfailing Success of
The Humiston Food Preservative.
Report of Prof. Samuel W. Johnson, ol
Yale College.
“My tests of .35 days in daily mean tempera
ture of 70 degress, on meats, etc., bought in
open market have certainly been severe and I
am satisfied that the different brands of Rex
Magnus, the Humiston Foot! Preservative,
with which I have experimented,
Have Accomplished all Claimed for Them
‘•So far as i have yet learned they are the
only preparations that'are effective, and at the
same time practicable , for domestic use. At
the banquet on ‘treated’ meats at the Sew
Haven House I could not distinguish between
those which had been 16 days in my laboratory
and those newly taken from the refrigerator of
the hotel. The oysters were perfectly palatable
and fresh to my taste, and better, as it hap
pened, than those served at the same time,
which were recently taken from the shell. The
roast beef, steak, chicken, turkey and quail
were all as good as I have ever eaten."
Safe, Tasteless, Pure.
Rex Magnus is safe, tasteless, pure, and Prof.
Johnson adds in his report: “I should antici
pate no ill results from its use and consider it
less harmful than common salt."
It is a perfect substitute for ice, heat, sugar,
salt or alcohol, in preserving food, and re
taining its natural flavor and sweetness—re
gardless of climates and seasons.
