Editor Enquirer-Sun :
Dear Sir—Although no longer a resident
of Columbus, I trust I shall never cease to
feel on Interest In her welfare and to re
joice In her prosperity. It Is for this reason
I note with regret your position on the
question of water works. In your Issue of
the 12th. You say that the great question
of Inability present* Itself In opposition to
all the benefits to be derived. Herewith
conceive lies your mlstaice. Columbus is
not only able to pay 13.500 a year for such
fire protection as a good system of water
works would give, but she is paying a rr
greater sum to do tvithout them. Let
explain: The aggregate amount paid for
Insurance annually cannot be less than
820.000 ami I believe It much more than
that. But this sum represents only part of
the cost of Insurance, as a great many per
sons take their own risk, by either not In
suring at all, or for only part of the value of
their property. This premium risk Is prob
ably not less than 810,000, which, added to
the amount paid to the Insurance compa
nies would give n total of 830,(XU). Now
let me ask you, how much of this
830.000 represent* enhanced rates o
Insurance, growing out of the In
creased risk, which you run by not hav
Ing an efficient system of water works’
The question of water works being also un
der discussion here, I have taken consider
able Interest In it, and from what I read und
know by observation, I believe I state a
fact when I say that at least one-third less
ratos are charged In cities after the lntroduc*
tlon of water works. This would give
saving to your community of 810,009, from
which deduct the amount that is asked for
tho benefit of five hydrant*, 83,500—Mould
give you a net gain ok 86,500.
This sum, therefore, represent* you** pres
ent net annual low, by not having water
works on the plan offered your city. In
tills way, I think I have demonstrated that
you not only are able to pay for the water
works, but that you are now paying for them
In enhanced Insurance, at a rate that would
meet the 83,500 required to pay for Are pro
tection, and give you a sinking fund of
86.500 a year, which, compounded at seven
per cent, would pay for the entire cost of the
works (9100,000) In less than twelve years; a*
a net gain In adopting the plan that has been
offered to your city. It therefore strikes me
that your present course is like that of the
farmer who sent his need wheat to mill, to
grind Into flour, Instead of eouing it to reap
next year's crop. Do not, I therefore pray
you, plead “inability"' to pay 83,500 per year
to a water works company, for fire protec
tion, so long ns you are actually paying
810,000do without such protection.
Ho far as the pretent being an inopportune
time to consider the proposition of paying
83.500 as un annual outlay for lire protec
tion, It seems tusme the very best time to
consider and adopt it, as a moral duty you
owe to your municipal creditors.
As well might a merchant whose affairs
should become so Involved as to require
him toask a compromise from Ills creditors,
decline to Insure his goods, In order to re
duce bis expenses. The very fact of flnan
clal emharr»ssment makes It the strongest
moral duty of a debtor to protect his ciedi
tor’s Interest, by guaranteeing Ills resources
from loss and damage, in order that he muy
meet Ills liabilities.
How many conflagrations llkethe Rankin
House fire would It take to so reduce the
wealth of Columbus as to make it Impossi
ble to pay 50c on tly? dollar of her debt?
Are not the holrertoa your bonde, deeply and
beneficially Interested in your adopting
such measures as will tend to prevent your
Impoverishment and fortify the safety of
their'Investment? and when they
that your regard for the public welfare will
not)on by ntrengthrn their *rcuri'f(e*,butsecure
to the city a net annual saving of 86,500, is
It not likely that such action would facili
tate, rather than retard the progress of com
promising with holders of the corporate In
debtedness?
Thls86,"i00 compounded seml-nnminllyat
seven per cent, will In thirty years reach a
sum adequate to pay off your entire indebt
ed ness. Think you your creditors are
short sighted or foolish as to Intervene
prevent such a consummation? I think not!
If now, I have rightly reasoned, both
moral and polltlclal economy will Justify
your corporation adopting the proposed
step, to secure water works and fire prota
tlon. \V. P. F.
The Bell Tower.
last afternoon Mayor Wilkins and Aider-
men Andrews, Jefferson, Grimes and De-
Wolf, nppotnted'hy Council to receive and
consider plans and bids for the construc
tion of a Are alarm tower on the court house
met tor consideration of the matter, in the
office of Ordinary Rrooks. Plans and speci
fications were submitted by Messrs Englnnd
and Tye, contractors. The plans show a
very pretty tower thirty feet high, in the
center of tho court house building. After
some discussion the mnttor wan referred
back to the architects, with instructions to
send In bids for each plan separately on
next Monday afternoon, at which time the
committee will hold another meeting for
final action.
This proposed lower when completed will
doubtless subserve a much better purpose
thnn the present one nt tho market house,
as that 1ms nevor given satisfaction. Ac
cording to calculations the alarm bell whon
placed in tho new tower ought reasonably
to be heard two miles.

We mentioned last week that n man
named Ledbetter, from Nashville, had ob
tained a horse under false pretenses from
Mundny’s stables. This horse, the thief
sold to Mr McCrary, of Geneva, Ga, on Wed
nesday last, for |50, with which ho made his
escape. McCrary nfterwards sold to another
party, inking his note for 8125. On hearing
of Monday's loss, McCrary suspected the
horse he had purchased from the stranger
to he the one In question. Mundny was
telegraphed for, identified the animal and
resold him to McCrary for 8115, and the man
who had given his noto for 8125, was permit
ted to retain the animal. Bo no one has
lost much In the transaction, while Leilbetr
ter still stalks abroad In possession of his
Ill-gotten 850.

Gam rm. Keromene.
The kerosene burner on the poet at the
Rankin House corner, and used by tho
Mayor In testing and comparing It with the
gas, was superseded last uiglit by a new
gas burner. The difference In the two
lights was perceptible last night, and de
cidedly In favor of the gas, but the light on
that corner was nlso decidedly superior to
the lights on the other posts in the city. If
thecompauy will adopt and use the same
burner on all the other posts no one
will have any cause to complain of Insuffi
ciency of light nt least.

A “cullud ladye” eutered one of our stores
a few days ago and while the “Boss” and
clerks were busy seized A twelve Inch ham
sausage of the bologna variety and quick as
lightning thrust'the same Into her bosom.
The eagle eye of the "Boss" saw the ledger-
domain and awaited further development*.
The “ladye" crossed over to the dry goods
department and In an Instant she snatched
10 yards of calloo off the counter and in
verting her old style bonnet she Improvised
a protectorate over her stolen goods. The
boss crossed over and forwarded three when
the "solo” began. The boss made Inquiries
as to the missing bologna. The amiable miss
said plaintively "Rho knewd nothing of dem
sassage," and "fo God she never stole any
thing in her life." What have you In your
bonnet? (giving the same a shake). "I de-
clar how dat kalllker git in datbonnit,
the Innocently propounded conundrum.
The boss then with awicward emotions of
Intruding tenderness began to feel of the
lady’s wild but deeply heaving bosom. She
sighed and with roguish looks Invitingly
declined to be Interviewed thusly. A well
directed "palthow” on her black but blush
ing cheek with a stern demand tc
unbosom herself brought her "ladyship’
to a stand, whon she seemed to say, "Come
rest in this bosom, my own stricken deer.'
The "boss" again felt the inspiring emo
tions of her substantial breastworks, which
were hard with the crime and sweet-scented
bologna. She caved and unbosomed her
self of the coveted prize In the presence or a
dozen or more spectators. Her name Is
Miss "Susan Jackson,” but Is known about
the village as “Old Muff.” Bhe goes up for
ninety days, whon she can have her steal
ing proclivities “sausuaged.”
We see tlpit the "repealer” of lien law for
Russell county got a squelcher. Intelligence
and virtue will win. Sixteen to eight is a
decisive majority, and we do hope that the
“repealer” will bo Indefinitely postponed,
so far as Russell county is concerned, for wo
are satisfied we bespeak the sentiments of
nine-tenths of tho stalwart voters of Rus
sell.
MRS. MAORUGINH* FAMILY IN THE “AULD
eOUNTHRY."
His name was Pat Maginnls, and was
known in the 9th ward as a notori
ous dead-beat. She kept a little huck
ster shop and dealt over the counter
yee dhrop of the chrathur. He
came tn us usual every morning, after
forming Mrs. Magruglns4 acquaintance,
(especially when there was a crowd about)
and begun to speak about the great and
brave people of old Irehind, prominent
among them the Mugrugins. "Och, Mrs.
Magruglnsand Its a terrible bit. of cowld
we’ther we'ro havin’ Just now ?” “And
ure It Is Pat,” rejoined Mrs. Magruglns.
Ah! Mrs. Magruglns, It reminds me of the
bitthur eowlil mornin' In the ould counthry
when yer father (heaven bless his dear ould
sowl)gavc the country villagers the illeglnt
dinner—("tip tho bowl Mrs. Magruglns”)
and there was mor'n a hundred that sat at
his gou’roiis hoard. "Ah, Mrs. Magruglns,
yer dear ould father, heaven bless his sowl,
n’t he the most glnerous man In all
Tipperary, and couldn't ho have been
member of Parliament If he would only
just spake, Ah, his Illeglnt mansion, his
beautiful drives, the tall trees, the beautiful
lawns, how sad to think, Mrs. Magruglns,
ye are not there this blessed mlnlt under
his sphlendld roof ("tip the bowl, Mrs. Ma»
gruglns”), und yer dear beautiful slRthur
Brldglt, wasn’t she a Jewel, the prettiest
coolyeen ov them all; and yer dear mother,
heaven bless her, what poor sthrngler ever
went away from her door without her mu
nificent bounty. God save her rowI ! and
yer dear brother Jeremiah who used
to romp the streets with Prince Leopold and
ride with Albert on a steeple chase,
knew them all—the elegant carriage of yer
dear mother, as sli^ rode out on charity
missions. Ah, yes, Mrs Magruglns, I knew
them all, and not a more llllganter family
lived than yer own (give us a tip of the
bowl).”
Mrs Magruglns nnd the bystanders were
eager listeners to this blarney. But the
same old talc had cost Mrs Mugrugins about
twenty pounds. So she tho’t it time to
crowd Pat out; so she said. * "Now, Pat Mar
glnis, I am tired of ye’s, go i\nd get yer bowl
some other place, not a drap of the chrathur
will ye get here."
Pat looked at the bystanders, then at Mrs
Magruglns, nnd drawing himself his full
helghth said:
"Keer your father In the ould counthry,
sure I did, and a id no-hearted old baste he
was, scavlnger of the streets—so d—d poor
he was called the church mouse. Yer sls-
thur Bridget a Jewel? Yes, a rare Jewel,
she peddled poteen In a ram’s horn in the
streets of Dublecn. And yer brother, Jere
miah, n steeple-chaser! Indude he was—
they chased him out of old Ireland and
hung the d—d culprit to the yard arm of a
vessel for robbln' a dead man. Yer father’s
illeglnt mansion did I say ? Mansion, hell
and blazes, wasn’t it a mansion ? Why,
bless yer dear auld sowl, couldn’t I sthnnd
fiat footed nnd run me arm down the chim
ney of his old hovel and rob the whole d—d
premises. Take that and put It in yer darn,
ed old pipe and smoke It—bad luck to ye,
ye ottl blatherskite, v?. Good mornin’ to
yer, Mrs Magruglns.
It is said whon Acklln rose to a question
of privilege, touching the late scandal,
"Sunset Cox" winked at him.

We desire to return thanks to Gen Geo p

his Intellect.

The E^olly of Emigration.
Mr Stokes, of Stewart couuty, who emi
grated to Texas a few weeks ago, with his
famDy, returned last Friday, being thor
oughly dissatisfied with his adventure, it
is said that he did not even unload his wag
on after reaching Texas, but finding he had
made a foolish move, turned round and
came hack, at a cost for the trip of about
8100. We have long argued against the un
wise policy of people who are comfortably
situated here bre&Klng up and going to un-
tried sections in the West. Stick to the old
homestead ns long as you can make a living,
and when you fall, hunt up a new place in
your own section. There are many in Texas
who wlRh they were again in Georgia.

Referring to his own complete re
storation to health, through the use of
“Compound Oxygen,” after many
years of invalidism and exhaustion
from over-work, T. S. Arthur, the
well-known American author, says, in
his Home Magazine, under date of Feb
ruary, 1878: “Drs. Starkey A Palen are
physicians in regular standing, of high
personal character, and above tho sus
picion of quackery or pretense,
new curative agent has come into their
possession, atul their administration of
it, so far, lias resulted iu restoring to
health many who had regarded their
ailments as incurable, and in giving
back a good measure of health to a
large number of invalids who had
vainly sought for help through other
means of cure.” The testimony of
others as well known to the public will
be found in our Treatise on tho Nature,
Action and Results of “Comnouud
Oxygen.” It is mailed free. Audi
