It’s rather late to tell had tales on the

he was under indictment at the time for
smuggling $400,000 worth of liquor into
the colonies, that a historian not long

plied in a most appropriate manner, and
expressed his determination, with the
consent of the donors, to make a division
of the sum among the officers and crew of
the Dexter, who, he says, are equally
entitled to share in what honor may have
been earned on the distressing occasion

That Inland Water Route to Florida.
Some time ago we stated that our mo
tive in opposing any more appropriations
for the Warsaw Island route through
Romney marsh, and for advocating the
opening of the Habersham s cut route,
was to promote the commercial interests
of Savannah. We undertook to show,
and we think we succeeded, that the
Warsaw Island route could never be
made a satisfactory inland water route to
Florida, and that the Habersham’s cut
route could. It may be that our disin
terestedness in opposing a route on which
some work has already been done, in fa
vor of a route on which nothing has been
done, has been questioned. In order that
the public may see that our statements
are borne out by the facts, and that our
assertion of disinterestedness is not un
supported, we present this morning a
map showing the two routes, with the
disadvantages of one and the advantages
of the other as an inland water route to
Florida. We also present a letter from
Col. S. L. Fremont, who surveyed all the
routes through Romney marsh. If this
map and this letter do not convince even
the most skeptical that the selection of
the Warsaw island route for improvement
was a mistake, and that it would be a
mistake not to abandon it in lavor of
Habersham’s cut route while,!here is still
a chance, we are willing to abandon tur
ther opposition to the present improve
ment. Col. Fremont says: ‘"lt was not
believed that any sane man—engineer,
mariner or member of Congress—would
ever think of going around by the circuit
ous line of Warsaw Island to reach the
Odingsell river.” With respect to Hab
ersham’s out route, which is route No. 1.
he says: “I had then (meaning when he
made the survey) no doubt that route
No. 1 w as the best in every respect. First
cost, shorter line, straight, direct chan
nel, and the cost of maintenance,
all combined to make Habersham’s
cut route infinitely preferable
to either of the four lines examined.”
What stronger and better testimony could
there be than this? When the govern
ment engineer who surveyed the routes
coudemns so unreservedly the W arsaw
Island route and commends so emphati-
cally Habersham’s cut route, is it not a
little curious that Congress should have
adopted the Warsaw Island route? Bat
it is not our purpose to enter upon that
phase of the subject at present. What Sa
vannah wants is the safest and most di
rect inland water route to Florida possi
ble. Her commercial interests demand
this. We have shown that the Warsaw
Island route is not the most direct route
and not the most advantageous route. Is
it the safest? If it has that advantage
to recommend it some of its disadvan
tages might be overlooked, though it would
be impossible to overlook all of them. On
this point what do we find in Col. Fre
mont’s letter? Col. Fremont was being
urged by Mr. Parsons, the owner of War
saw Island, to recommend the Warsaw
Island route, when the late William M.
Wadley appeared on the scene. Mr. Par
sons appealed to him in behalf of Savan
nah interests. He replied; "‘No, Mr. Par
sons, never. If you had the route opened
no inland or river steamer would take it.
They could not risk the rough waters ot
Ossabaw sound; besides it is too long.”
Was not Mr. Wadley recognized as a
man of extremely good judgment? Was
he not always ready to advise what
would promote the interests of Savannah*
After such testimony as this what more
is there to be said?
It may l>e urged that if the work is
stopped on tl*e Warsaw Island route we
shall get no route opened through the
marsh. Who is authorized to say that?
That is only an expression of an opinion,
and, probably, of an interested party.
Only SIO,OOO of government money has
been spent on the Warsaw Island route,
and it will cost to complete it so
that vessels can pass each other in it
more than to open Habersham’s cut route.
Two things would be gained, therefore, by
abandoning the Warsaw Island route and
improving Habersham’s cut route: First,
several thousands ot dollars would be
saved to the government, and, second, an
inland water way to Florida would be ob
tained that would be of real benefit to Sa
va uu an.
Tließeport of the Civil Service Com
mission.
The Civil Service Commission have
prepared their report and will give it to
the public iu a day or two. They have
attempted something more than a mere
statement of what they have done since
they were appointed. They realize that
the enemies of civil service reform are
making a determined effort to secure the
repeal of the civil service law, and they
propose to defeat this effort if possible.
It doesn’t make any difference, so far as
civil service reform is concerned, whether
they are influenced by a wish to retain
these officers, or by a sincere desire to im
prove tlie civil service. The civil service
law is not to he judged by what the com
missioners do in its behalf, but by what
it is. and what it accomplishes, and what
it is capable of accomplishing. It was to
be expected that the law would be at
tacked by politicians and office-seekers of
both parties, but these attacks do not
prove the law a failure, or that
it will not accomplish all that was
expected of it. The only way to deter
mine whether the law is practicable and
beneficial or not is to give it a fair trial.
It has not had a tair trial. It was passed
in obediense to a popular demand. The
evils of the old system of appointment
were so great that a reform of some kind
was regarded as imperative. It may be
that the present law has defects. If it
has let Congress find out what they are
and endeavor to remedy them. Too much
time was spent in getting the law passed
to repeal it after only a year’s trial. The
commission say that the people who are far
removed from the national capital and
the great cities do not understand the
workings of the law, and
that numerous inquiries are re
ceived respecting its rules, regulations
and operations. In their report the Com
missioners intend to answer all of these
inquiries fully, so as to give the country
all the information desired on the points
inquired about. In this way the commis
sion hope to strengthen popular sentiment
in favor of the law to such an extent that
the politicians will be compelled to stand
by it and give their attention to improving
it rather than to scheme for securing its
repeal. It the law were repealed it is cer
tain that very soon there would be a pop
ular clamor for another law of the same
kind. The people would never lie satisfied
with the old system of patronage. Its
abuses are too great. It is all folly to
say that men who are trained to their du
ties and who are secure in their positions
as long as they are competent aud main
tain a good character, are not better pub
lic servants than those whose tenure of
office depends upon the supremacy of
their party or the good will of the politi
cians who had them appointed, ir there
had been an efficient civil service law in
operation during the last twenty years
the South would not have had such good
reasons to complain of Federal officials.
The evils of the old system are
known, and they are so great that the
country don’t want to experience them
again. The new system may not give en
tire satisfaction, but if it is not now it
certainly can be made a great improve
ment on the old.
Senator Colquitt has a remarkable mem
ory for names as well as faces, but the
statement is going the rounds that he is
in the habit, when meeting any one whose
name he can’t remember, of mumbling
out something that will do lor Smith, or
Johnson, or anything else. There is an
amusing story told on one of the most
popular ministers in Georgia. He met a
goqd country brother one day, who we
will call Jones. Shaking his hand cordi
ally, he said, "How d’ye do. Brother—ah
ah ?” expecting the brother to call his
name, and thus save him the unpleasant
task of confessing his ignorance on that
subject- “Speak it, speak it,” said Broth
er Joues. “Oh, yes; Brother Speaket.”
How d’ye do, Brother Speaket? How’s
Sister Speaket and the children?”
A man named Smalstig, at Springfield,

The Georgia Farmers.
Savannah welcomes to-day as her hon
ored guests the members of the State Ag
ricultural Socletv. A glance at the list
of officers and dylegates, which was pu
lished in the Morning News of the stu
inst., shows it to contain many of our
best citizens. The influence which t is
body has exerted on the industrial intei
ests of the State can not be estimated in
dollars and cents. It is eminently a bus
iness body, looking alone to the develop
ment and prosperity of Georgia.
The agricultural is decidedly the great
industrial interest in Georgia, for on it
all other interests depend, and it is not
strange that the Agricultural Society
should have embraced many of the most
distinguished and practical minds iu the
State in its membership ever since its or
ganization.
The society was organized in 1846, and
its formation was first suggested by the
late Hon. Mark A. Cooper, of Bartow
county. Among those who joined with
him in urging the importance of its or
ganization were Geo. W. Crawford,
Charles J. McDonald, and Wilson Lump
kin, all three of whom have been Gover
nors of the State. It was first called the
Southern Central Agricultural Society,and
was intended to include membership from
adjoining States. Under this name it
was chartered in 1854. In 1860 the name
was changed to the Georgia State Agri
cultural Society, and anew charter ob
tained. Atter the war the society was
reorganized, in 1569, and it has been con
tinued up to the present time. Its many
fairs have been notable events in the his
torv of the State, and it was through
the earnest recommendation of this so
ciety that the State Department of Agri
culture was organized. Its influence has
bad much to do with securing the passage
of the law for the inspection and analysis
of commercial fertilizers, and many other
measures looking to the welfare of Geor
gia*
The Presidents of the society have been
men of distinguished ability and influ
ence, and many of them have national
reputations. Since its organization, nearly
forty years ago, it has had only seven
Presidents. They were Hon. Thomas
Stocks, Hon. Mark A. Cooper, Dr. L. B.
Mercer, Hon. D. W. Lewis, Col. B. C.
Y'ancey and Senator A. 11. Colquitt. Its
present President is lion. Thomas Harde
man, our Congressman from the State at
large, who has presided over the society
ever since 1876.
The annual meetings of the society have
not only been occasions ot pleasant social
reunions, but the proceedings hare gen
erally been of great importance to the
people, and the essays and addresses have
been almost invariably noted for ability,
learning and practical usefulness.
The subjects of the essays at the pres
ent meeting are full of interest to the
farmers, not only of this State but of the
entire country. The question of holding
a State Fair will also be discussed, and
most probably decided in the affirmative.
# An interesting programme is laid out
for the entertainment of our guests, and
it is to be hoped every member and visitor
will carry to his home pleasant memories
of this visit to tlie Forest City.
Ex-Governor Butler’s “soul goes a
marching on” in Boston. The board ol
health, lunacy, and charity has been in
vestigating charges against various par
ties for whipping boys who were inden
tured by the board to learn trades, and
the fact has been developed that in
many cases the poor apprentices had been
subjected to cruel and brutal treatment.
Butler was severely denouuced by the
Republicans of Massachusetts for ex
posing the tanning of a human skiu at the
Tewksbury Almshouse, but as these boys
who have bad their hides tanned are
white and alive, no great sensatioir will
be likely to be created by the investiga
tion.”

High Tariff v*. the Farmer.
Louisville Courier-Journal iDem.).
The truth is, the government of this country,
by its protective tariff, does all it can in the
way of injuring the American farmer, and if
other nations did not give him tlie benefit of
free trade in selling his products, bis condi
tion would be a most unenviable one.
A Very Apt Illustration.
Detroit Free Press ( D*m .).
There is as much “danger" to the country
in extending its trade and its trading facili
ties as there would lie in buildinga competing
line of railroad from the Atlantic to the Mis
sissippi. if there were now only one iu exis
tence. Tlie monopolist owning the "mas
ootte” road would, of course, cry out that all
things were over aud the country must shut
up shop; but tlie mass of the people would
hail it as a promotion of their prosperity.
An Entrust worth v Guide.
Few York Post {Rep.).
In the matter of Arctic navigation Mr.
Chandler’s discretion is an exceedingly un
trustworthy guide. The failure of the last
relief expedition was shown to have been
made certain by gross mismanagement, and,
though the responsibility for it has not been
fixed precisely, there can bo no doubt that,
between Mr.' Chandler and General Ilazeu.
the expedition was allowed to depart most
inadequately equipped for its work. It is
most desirable that relief be sent to Greely
and his companions as 600n as practicable,
but it will be merely an additional waste of
human life and money to semi another expe
dition fitted out as the last one was.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
It Is Threatened with a Damaging Blow.
Washington, Feb. 11.—Mr. Hoblitzell,
of Maryland. Mr. Robertson, of Kentucky,
and Mr. Phelps, of New Jersey, constitute
a sub-committee to whom has been refer
red the bills introduced having for their
object the repeal of the civil service reform
act. These bills are very similar in
character, simply declaring the act re
pealed. Two of the sub-committee
are in favor of reporting a
repealing bill favorably. They are
Mr. Robertson and Mr. Hoblitzell. Mr.
Phelps is opposed to such a report. Mr.
Robertson told your correspondent to-day
that he did not think there was any doubt
about a bill to repeal being reported to
the full Committee on Civil Service Re
form. It is very doubtful it the full com
mittee will accept this conclusion. And
it is almost a certainty that the House
will pass no such bill.

ROMNEY MARSH.
A Letter from Col. Fremont, Assistant
Engineer, Who Made the Surveys.
Wilmington, N. C., Feb. 9 .—Editor
Morning News: I send you my views
ot the relative merits of the several
routes through the Romney marshes
that were examined by me in
August, 1880. I have before me the
report made to Gen. Gillmore of that
survey. From this report 1 propose to
submit some information for those who
are not familiar with the facts, nor with
the routes considered. Route No. 1 is a
continuation of the old channel known as
“Habersham’s Cut.” It connects with
Romney marsh creek, and runs nearly
due south more than oue mile (1,980 yards)
into the marsh. From the head oi this
cut, where it forks in a straight line bear
ing south about 5 degrees west, and dis
tant 1,000 yards, we meet the Odingsell
river, oue of the deep channels that in
tersect these marshes in many
directions. This route if cut
through as recommended would not only
greatly facilitate the passage ot the inland
steamers and other vessels passing from
the ports and rivers ot Southeastern Geor
gia and Florida to aud from Savannah,
their great market; but it would shorten
the distance to be traversed about two
miles. A low water depth of seven feet
can be obtained by opening a channel
through the solid ’marsh—as indicated
above—and to those familiar with the dif
ficulties of the navigation of the present
channel through these marshes no greater
recommendation is necessary than is con
tained in the description given above of
tills new and short route.
The estimated cost of cutting the chan
nel ot 1,000 yards is $35,200, and there Is
but little doubt that it would maintain its
depth by the natural action of the tides.
Route No. 2is the cheapest ot all. To
improve the distance to cut is but 750
yards, and if No. 1 lor any possi
ble reason should not be selected,
this by all means has the prefer
ence, though the distance is greater
by live miles than it is by No. 1, taking com
mon points in Romney marsh creek and
in Odingsell river for comparison; it is
also 3hi miles longer than by the present
channel. The creek on the south side of
the middle ground or “divides” that the
channel to be cut would open into is very
tortuous and somewhat difficult to navi
gate. This creek flows into the Odingsell
river a few miles south of the poiut of con
nection of route No. 1 with that stream.
Routes No. 3 and 4 in point of merit are
nearly the same. They intersect the
marshy liead-waters of Warsaw creek at
the same point. No. 3 is the least expen
sive, because the distance to be cut is
only 900 yards, while No. 4 requires a cut
ting for a distance of 1,100 yards. The
estimates for these routes are respective
ly $31,680 and $38,720. This route No. 4
is about one mile shorter than No. 2, but
No. 3 is the longest of either of the four
routes examined. The greatest difficulty,
it is believed, ill making either No. 3 or
No. 4 navigable, is the greater expense in
opening a channel through the “Thous-,
and Islands” at the head of Warsaw
creek.
No discussion of these difficulties was
entered upon in the report because it was
not believed that any sane man, engineer,
mariner or member of Congress would
ever think of going around by the cir
cuitous line ot Warsaw Island to reach
the Odingsell river, and T was never more
surprised than when Mr. Parsons, tlie
owner of Warsaw Island, urged me to
recommend that longer route in the inter
est of Savannah. During our interview
that old Roman, William M. Wadley
came in, and on Mr. Parsons appealing
to him iu behalt of Savannah interest he
replied: “No, Mr. Parsons, never. If
you had the route opened, no inland or
river steamer would take it. They eouhl
not risk the rough waters of Ossabaw
sound; besides it is too long.”
There is another route which was but
slightly examined—though it lias* much
merit—known as the Skidaway route, hv
way of Whitemarsh (Island and the Isle
of Hope, three miles west ol Romney
marshes, by using Wilmington river, Skid
away river, Burnside and Vernon
rivers. The distance by this
route is said to be shorter than
by route No. 1, and the cost of open
ing it about the same, but it was found to
be controlled by private parties, who had
a charter lor a canal.
1 have now given you a brief history of
the survey anil a description of the several
lines upon which it was desired to enlist
the Government of the United States in
obtaining the means to make the neces
sary improvements—not for any local pur
pose, but to benefit a large territory in
business tributary to Savannah. 1 was
requested to find the best route, distance
being an important element in making a
selection. 1 had then, as I have now, no
doubt, that route No. 1 was the best in
every respect. First cost, shorter line,
straight, direct channel, and the cost of
maintenance, all combine to make the
Habersham cut route infinitely preferable
to either of the four lines examined.
1 cut from the report the inclosed rea
sons for asking for an appropriation at
all.
I hope you may obtain an appropria-
I tion of a sufficient amount to open the
route No. 1, as I consider it very impor
tant to the inland navigation interests,
which are largely the interests of Savan
nah. Yerv respectfully, your obedient
servant, ’ S. L. Fremont.
BRUNSWICK ITEMS.
Wliat the Brunswick Riflemen Propose
to Do—Other Matters of Interest.
Correspondence of the Morning Xetcs.
Brunswick, Feb. 10.—A negro deck
hand on the City of Bridgeton, whose
name could not be ascertained, died here
to-day in the company’s warehouse from
a pistol shot wound in his head, inflicted
by himself, perhaps, this morning.
The city has reverted to the old or solar
time, ns the standard time was found to
work very unsatisfactorily. The new fire
alarm bell is now used for the town clock,
aiul its deep tones call out a hundred
watches every time it strikes for compari
son, and so far every watch is moved
backward or forward a few minutes to
oblige the erratic town clock.
The Brunswick riflemen will make a
sortie on St. Simon’s on Wednesday next.
They will take the company’s band along
and have a parade and target practice on
the island. The “dudes” are doing all
this for charity and to help out thy
schools on the island.
The Georgia Land and Lumber Compa
ny have a Fuller system electric light
(three lamps) at their mills, aud work late
and early by its aid. The plant was fur
nished by Mr. Will Robinson, formerly of
this cityj hut now in the electric light bu
siness in Atlanta,
The ladies and gentlemen of this city
are deeply interested in the new library
association recently organized. It prom
ises to supply a long felt want and, if lib
eral and progressive in its management,
will certainly prove the nucleus of a pow
erful educational and historical society.
The City Council have given notice of
their intention to pave Bay, Newcastle
and Gloucester streets, and the work will
soon commence.
The artesian well is the next thing on
the programme. As we are obliged to per
fect a system of water works before long
it is better that we commence on the arte
sian well, and for the present connect it
with all the fire wells in the city and keep
them supplied with water.
The new national bank is open, and
commencing its career under the most
favorable auspices. In my last I omitted,
unintentionally, to mention the name of
Mr. Max Ullman as one of the directors of
the bank.
R. Falligant, Esq., of Savannah, was in
the city on professional business during
last week.
ARTHUR AND LOGAN.
The Rivalry Between Them for tlie
Chicago Nomination.
Washington, Feb. 11.— it is becoming
a thing pretty generally remarked here
that President Arthur and would-bo Presi
dent Logan, ot Illinois, are getting up an
open rivalry for the favor of the Southern
delegates to the next Republican Conven
tion. Arthur made the first little flirta
tion when he put that clause in his mes
sage about civil rights. John A. Logan
has taken his eyes off of the
soldier vote long enough to put iu a small
bid of his own. This he did with his little
bill to appoint a commission to visit the
South, and report upon the material and
social progress of the negro since 1865.
He is also loud that the negro shall be
protected in all his rights and avenged
when he alleges that those rights have been
invaded. Again, Arthur is holding back a
number of importautFederal appointments
in the South until after the convention.
Ite does uot want to antagonize any fac
tion of the Republican party in that sec
tion. There are some who are unkind
enough to say that he is holding those ap
pointments up to lie given to the Republi
cans who will do the most to enhance in
the way of delegates his chances at Chi
cago. It remains to be seen which gen
tleman will capture the coy Southern del
egations to that convention. It is almost a
merry war.

CORKHILL AND KEOGH.
The Reasons Why They arc no Longer
in Office.
Washington, Feb. 11.—The failure of
oue official of the government to receive
a reappointment and of another who was
nominated to a position ot prominence to
be rejected by the Senate are due to causes
of interest. I refer to Col. George B.
Corkhill, late United States Attorney for
the District of Columbia, and to Thomas
B. Keogh. who has just been rejected as
United States Marshal tor North
Carolina. The names of both of
these men are well known in the country.
The latter was for a number of years Sec
retary of the Republican National Com
mittee. Corkhill was not reappointed be
cause of the opposition of Attorney Gene
ral Brewster, who held that to again
make him a United States District Attor
ney would be an insult to his dignity.
The trouble betw r een Corkhill and Brew
ster arose before the former became At
torney General. It was. of course, about
those famous failures, the star route
trials. Brewster was then of the special
counsel for the government to prose
cute the trials. He and Mr. Merrick,
another of the counsel, did not have any
confidence in Corkhill. They thought he
dallied with a purpose to secure a failure
by the application of the statutes of limi
tation. The time during which the first
indictment could be made was rapidly ex
piring. Corkhill had the indictment in
liis possession. It was necessary that he
should sign it. He hung back suspiciously
—at least so thought Brewster and Mer
rick. They told their thoughts to Wayne
MacYeagh, then Attorney General. Mac-
Veagh sent for Corhill and asked
Brewster and Merrick to bo pres
ent at the interview. When
Corkhill came the four got into a private
room. Then Brewster bluntly, and with
out beating around the bush the least bit,
told Corkhill what was thought about
him. When he .was through MacYeagh
said: “Col. Corkhill, you must sign that
indictment without delay. You must
sign it before you leave this room, or I
will have to ask for your resignation.”
The indictment was sent for and signed.
Corkhill and Brewster were never on
“terms” again.
Thomas B. Keogh succeeded Robert
M. Douglass as United States Mar
shal for North Carolina about
six months ago under a recess appoint
ment made by the President. He and
Douglass were two or three years _ago
bosom friends. Douglass borrowed $7,000
from Keogh. lie gave as security mort
gage notes upon some property in Chica
go, which he inherited from his father, the
late Stephen A. Douglass, who ran as the
Democratic candidate against Mr. Lin
coln. Douglass made a payment of $3,000.
Keogh, it is alleged, instead of giving up
notes to that amount gave him a receipt
for $3,000. He then sold the whole $7,000
of notes at a discount. Douglass, it is to
he presumed, did not like this way of do
ing business. So he appeared before the
Senate Judiciary Committee when Keogh’s
nomination w r as being considered the
other day and told about it. That’s why
Keogh was not confirmed as Douglass’
successor.
