clear that the white race is most susceptible
to the fever, and a’l colors and shades be
tween white and black are less susceptible,

type, whiob and era least of all. Another
peculiarity is that the pure-blooded African
recovers more rapidly from yellow fever,
and has tho disease in a far milder form
than the white race. Last year the Hebrew
race suffered terribly here. This year the
Hebrews became refugees. The Irish and
German races suffer more than do tbs

tho native American race suffers terribly; the
Southern trance not near so much, it being
to a measure acclimated by residence South.
Few have yellow fever twice, but, like small

Strange to say, tho Chinese do not take yel

Chinese in our city.

Herald on Grant’s Sincerity.
The New York Herald, of last Wednes
day, devotes five of its columns to inter
views with varions prominent men of all
parties, cn tho question of how far Gen.
Gram’s disinclination for another presi
dential term, expressed to Li-Hung,Vice
roy of Tientsin,and published in that pa
per of the 6th,may betaken ae the expres
sion of a sincere purpose not to become a
candidate for the Presidency. The parties
interviewed on the subject are G. Wash
ington Childs, Gen. Grant’s familiar;
Horatio Seymour, Senator Korean,
Senator Hoar, Murat Halitoad, Senator
Allison, or Iowa; Senators Hill and
Gordon, of Georgia; Senator Blaine, ex«
Congressman Hale and “a prominent
New York Republican.”
As to what oar Senators had to say
we will quote the following t
FROM 8BNAT0B HILL.
*‘I am anxious to believe and I will be
lieve that General Grant is sincere in
these ntterancea. I desire to believe that
we have something decent and even great
left in American politics, and these words
of General Grant, if they were uttered
sinoerely, and if he is steadfast enough
to act upon them, are both decent and
great. Indeed, it is not too mnch to Bay
that if General Grant shall act upon the
wise andpatriotic sentiment he has thus
expressed he will prove himself to be a
far greater man than ever his warmest
admirers have claimed him to be. Bat
if it shall turn out that be has uttered
these wotd3 merely to deceive as a means
of seeming to push aside the Presidency,
only that he may seize it the more cer
tainly, aa Caesar did the crown, then be
will prove himself to be a man of the
lowest cunning, and far worse than hie
bitterest enemies have ever claimed him
to be.”
OENEBAL GBlKT’s GREAT WGED3.
“Do yon think it possible that General
Grant could be using these words with a
view to deceiving the public?”
“I say that I desire to bslieve that he
is Binc'ere, and that I will believe It until
forced to an opposite conclusion. There
are somo curious points in General
Grant’s character, I doubt if he could
make an argument. He is oertainly not
a constitutional lawyer. And yet he has
frequently said great things. He has at
teied expressions equal to anything in
history. Bu*. it must be confessed that
he has n r t rlways lived up to the spirit of
his past K .jicgs. His oondact and his
woidi at tbe cose of the late war were
fully equal to those of the great
eat commanders in any age oi
conn ry. But when he descended in
to politics his actions took all the brighter
glory from the record he bad made as a
great general. On a celebrated occasion
he said, ‘No man worthy to hold the
Presidential office would take it tainted
with fraud I,’ Nothing greater or better
than this was ever said by any man.
But it turns out that at that very mo
ment he was doing what the Constitu
tion did not anthorize, and what no pre
cedent could excuse—appointing visiting
statesmen, who atimniated and encour
aged the greatest fraud ever known in
the history of any people. No man did
half so mnch aa General Grant to give
this fraud final consummation; butl be
lieve that in the instances noted, and in
similar instances, General Grant meant
what ho said, but that his meaning was
destroyed by tbe action of bad men who
nnfortunately had hia confidence, and
who cared nothing for General Grant’s
fame or senator ’ Gordon.
“I cannot put much canfidenoe,” said
he, ‘‘in the apparent motive of General
Grant’s words. It seems to me that he
does not decline positively, tut rather
put3 himself in tho altitude of being
party°iJ ay . in ca30 of tb0 failure of his
he had decTmt&'E 1 th ° »°“ination, that
dered him to say UuS d ,. in “^ &» ten-
Eought and over his protest? -i m
confess, therefore, that I cannot consider
thm a declination on the part of General
Grant. It would be very easy for him
to speak positively upon this subject.”
“Do you think it will be accepted as
general by the conntry ?”
“I don’t know. I do think this: I do
not believe that General Grant conld be
elected if he were nominated, and I
think the party managers know that to
be true. Tbe articles in the Herald on
Cseiarism of several years ago made an
ineffaceable impression upon the Ameri
can mind, and General Grant’s nomina
tion now or hereafter would be flagrantly
in violation of the spirit that inspired
those artioles and an outrage upon the
sentiment of the country. The example
of Washington has been so strengthened
by continued examples that It has be
come the unwritten law of the oountry,
and one of our most essential laws. The
people will not see it violated, save in
some tremendous emergency. No emer
gency exists at present, except the emer
gency of a few dispossessed office hold
ers. So, I say, this feeling against a
third term wonld inevitably defeat Gen
eral Grant, even if there wore no vainer-
able points in bis record and weakness in
his administration.
THE ONLY CHANCE FJR THE REPUBLICANS.
“In addition to this,” continued Gen.
Gordon, “I do not believe that any ‘stal
wart’ can carry the country in 1880, or
ever again. The only chance for tho Re
publican party, in my opinion, is to
nominate some man of liberal and patri
olio views, who oan win back to tbe ranks
the men who have been driven one of
them. If I thought this country could
be carried on a sectional or vtolsnt plat
form next year—arter tbs war has been
closed for fiftmn years—-after tbe peace-
loving, law-abiding record of tbo Soath
for the past six years—I should almost
despair of the Republic. I should know
to a certainty that we need never hope
for complete national harmony and re
conciliation, and that the South wonld be
held m continual and lasting subjection
to the North, or that some fearful disas
ter wonld befall us. Of oonrao if Gen.
Grant ia sinoere in hia words they are
vory important. Bat whether he is sin
cere or canning I do not think be coaid
be eleoted President again; first, because
the American people will never give a
third term of the Presidency to any liv
ing man, and secondly, bscauso he repre
sented, and still represents, through his
friends, a policy of proscription and sec
tionalism that oan coyer again, ia my
opinion, carry this country. It could
cot do it in 1876; it wil! never again comG
so near doing it.”
As to the other witnesses, most of tbem
were willing to endorse Gen. Grant’s cred
ibility and sincerity, and, ifi fact, rightly
interpreted, we have no doubt, Grant is
entitled to credit. He has always held
tho same position in regard to the Presi
dency. He was not a candidate for the
office in 18G7; ho was forced into it
to save the country; he was not a candi
date in 1871, but had to acceDt
the offioo for the same reason. He ia not
aahe says, a candidate now, and does n ot
want tho office, bat the same high can*
eiderations of pnblio exigency wonld
produce the same resnlt.
When tho Republican brotherhood
motif in National Convention and find
tho forces of Shorman, Blaiao and Cfcnk-
ling, irreconcilably arrayed against each
other, it will be necessary to save the
parly and tho conntry by nominating
Grant, although ha is not a candidate
and does not want the office, and al
though he ha3 been hiding oat in tho
bush for two or three years, at largo ex.
pensa to hia friends, on purpose to be
the dark horse and a more unobjectiona
ble necessity for that occasion. s’
There’s no trouble about tinecribj in
the esse. If Grant did not mean to run
in any coaf iagsacy, ho could have said so
in ten words, which vroub.! have needed
acnc of these efforts to catafciLh a 2x?d
interpretation. Bat the Herald, for rea
sons of its own, wants to establish one in
advance which will hold Grant in check.
Therefore, this novel spectacle of LI-
Hung and this college cf American in
terpreters. And to strengthen the fence,
the Herald also announces contemporan
eously that Gen. Grant has mads a new
departure, and i3 going to be President
of the Darien Canal Company. Let us
have peace, and let us not be deceived.
Tilden ami Elevated Ballway.
In the New York World of Wednesday,
in the form of an interview by a reporter
of that paper, Mr. Cyrus W. Field comes
one with another anti-Tilden blast of a
fierce charaoter. In the course of it he
charges Tilden with trickery, lack of in
tegrity, bad faith and falsehood, and
pronounces him “an untrustworthy
and unreliable man.” Field is going to
publish a statement shortly, when he
gets ready, which he declares will reflect
far more severely on Tilden than any
tuing he has yet said. In reference to
the forthcoming lawsuit, we copy tho
following:
“You spoke the other day, Mr. Field,”
continued the reporter, “of a lawsuit
whioh was likely to be brought against
Mr. Tilden. Is there still a probabilty
that such a suit will be brought?”
“More than a probability—it is almost
oertain to be brought.”
“But Mr. Tilden says that he had a
perfeot right to sell his atook.”
‘‘Has any man” (Mr. Field rose in his
indignation) “a right to break faith with
another man?”
“Certainly noil”
“No, sir,” continued Mr. Field; “he
has no moral right nnder the sun to do
such a thiog.”
“But may ha not have a legal and
technical right?” intimated the reporter.
“You may be quite sure,” said Mr.
Field with some warmth, “that no suit
will ba brought aga’nst Mr, Tilden un
less there aro good legal grounds for it.
I do not propose to show Mr. Tilden my
hand in advance, so I must decline to
say anything about that suit just now, ex
cept that there ia every chanoe in the
world that it wil 1 . be brought.”
Ia short, a mere angry and inflamma
tory performance than this interview
it is hard to conceive, and a more vio
lent and direct assault on personal repu
tation It would be hard to make. It
that lawsuit ia not pushed forward at
once, Mr. Tilden should take the short
est and sharpest method to compel Field
to bring hia allegations to tbe arbitra
ment of a court oE justice, for they are
of a nature fatal to the pretensions of
any candidate for civil office, much mare
a candidate for tha Presidency of the
United States. If Field can substanti
ate any of his charges, tbe Elevated
Railway has given Tilden a lofty ana
crir.hing fell.
Cotton,
There ie, or ought to be by this time,
a growing conviction that a big cotton
crop is not on the oards this year—an

one most likely. Perhaps some each

To illustrate the backwardness of the

a comparison of the state of the Macon

850 bales against 13 this year. In other
words the crop is far behind time
ani the cool weather daily increasing
the distance.
Tbe Nicarangna Canal,
Under the auspices of Gen. Grant,
seems to be making a sensation in New
York. The Herald and Admiral Ammon
are the prominent promoters of the en
terprise. Tho scheme looks to a reBur-
veyand relocation of the route, which, in
the opinion of the Admiral, will reduce
the labor estimate, and contingent, to fif
ty-five mi lions of dollars.
It is difficult to understand how any
reliable estimate can be formed of the
cost of digging a twenty-six foot canal
across mountains, which will probably
require the Dlasiing of solid rock under
a water level, at a drainage expense
necessarily incomputable.
But the calculation is to complete and
open the canal iu five years. Gen.
Grant is represented to take a great in
terest in the scheme, and the Herald says
he left Japan for Ban Francisco on the
25th instant. The Herald tells this sto
ry on tbo authority of Admiral Am,
men:
seven years ox misery.
An anecdote is told of General Grant
when President, to the effect that m
leaving the Ereoutive Mansion one Sun
day, iu oompany with his life-long friend
Admiral Ammen, he paused at the
Ihreahhold of the mansion, and Bald :
“Do you know, friend Ammen, that it
yon had not pulled me out of the water
on that memorable day when I was near,
losing my life, you would have saved me
the seven years of misery whioh I have
passed since I became President.”
This incident happened when they
were boys, and now in latter years the
Admiral has done a no less creditable
deed in giving the General an opportun
ity to devote the remainder of his life to
a pursuit whioh is in happy accord with
his tastes, rescuing his name from the
pool of politic?, and tho announcement of
whioh most certainly convince the most
inorednlons that he has no more wish to
be a candidate for any office than he has
to return to China.
John ICoach’s Brazilian Line
Tho Baltimore Sun saya it is reported
that tho Brazilian steamship line, bnilt
by Mr. John Reach, and having Its
United States point of departure at New
York, not only doe3 not pay expenses,
but is losing about six thousand dollars
a month. As this ia the statement made
by the New York agent of the line, it is
fair to assume that it is correct. The
alleged cause of the loss is attributed to
the fact that the British steamships
trading with Brazil now touch at New
York, and have put the freight rates so
low as to take from the Reach steam
ships much of the traffic.
Tho Sun, pursuing tho subject rayt: It
is obvious that if the Clyde builders oan
turn out en ocean steamship of tbe lar-
g<“it class for three hundred thousand
tiara, whilst Mr. Roaoh oannot build
•uo of similar tonnage and appointments
for less than half a million of dollars,
the foreign shipowner starts with a re
serve of oapital whioh, in the saving of
interests and insurance, constitutes a large
item in hi3 favor. As the tariff prevents
ns from building cheaper ships, and as
we are prohibited by law from baying
Ehips abroad, we cannoe enter into com
petition for the ocean-oarrying trade, be
cause in both ways we are handicapped.
Exactly so! and tbe Sun saya this en
ormous disparity in tbe prices of English
and Ameriaan bnilt steamships finds its
reason not In tbo prloe of American Iron,
which is lower—nor in our higher rates
of labor, which are offset by our moro ef
fective machinery; but in our furious tar
iff duties, whioh mike a terrible differ
ence on the coat of ell imparted articles
which enter into steamship construction.
The result is that wo oannot do our ma
rine transportation, because wo oannot
compete with foreign ships. And, al
though our freights are increasing yearly
at an enormoas rate, yet the proportion
of them taken by foreign ships is increas
ing still faster.
And now cornea this beautiful illustra
tion of American political economy and
State craft, ta-wit: Wo first levy ta
riffs which positively disable American
shipping and then tax tho people to pay
bounties to American ships, so as to en
able them to rnn! That is a sweet
spectacle to common sense.
John Reach saya that ha could have
established the line permanently and
made it profitable if Congress had grant
ed him the subsidy ho asked for of half
a million of dollars.
Yes, perhaps eo. And if half a mil-
lion of tax money would not have done
it, a million and a half might. Bat this
ia not lusincsi. Men must run ships at
their own riek and expense, and not out
of the hard earned money of taxpayers
who are compelled to run their, farms,
ehop3 cud mills on that principle. The
suggestion of tho situation seems to be
plain enough. There certainly can be
no sc-nao in killing trade by exorbitant
taxation, end then giving away tho
money raised by tho tax to restore it to
life.

Governor Colquitt Slake* a De

Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, has
written a very emphatic letter of denial
to Governor Garceion, of Maine, in re
gard to certain reports recently circulated
tu the latter State, the burden of these
reparts being that ia tbo last'two years
a large number of men have been lynch'
(longed to
the Methodist Church, voted the Repub
lican ticket, and interested themselves in
the education of the colored people. Gav.
Colquitt says:
“I might make summary v-ork in dis
posing of this portentous array of
charges so grave by giving you my word,
whether spoken as a plain citizen of
Georgia or as an officer representing the
whole State, that a more nnju^tor inex
cusable falsification of tho condition of
things as existing here conld not have
been framed in words. Bat, to r make
my attestation the moro forcible to' those
not well acquainted with our true status,
let mo add that the Mothodist Church,
eo far as members and social position go,
can hardly ba said to bo second to any
other denomination in the atatc; that
73,000 colored children are now
on onr school roils, and the
expense of their education is in

Marshall House,
«*—- * Savannah, August 28,1879.
The journey from Waithourville to
this city was accomplished without the
happening of any incident worthy of
note. The sew proprietor of the Mar?
shall House, Mr. John Breanan, was on
hand, and if ever an enterprise was
thoroughly pushed and canvassed, hie is.
The fruits may be seen in the long list
of arrivals published daily. Certainly,
neither the host, or his gentlemanly as
sistant in the office, M. L. Harnott,
oan be surpassed in their unremitting
attentions to their numerous guests.
savannah
is more oheerfal and busy at this season
than we ever remember to h ive seen I*.
The health of the city is exoellent, and
tbe drainage and bygienio oonditlon well
nigh perfeot. Passing along her streets
at a late hoar of the night, the gargling
of the waters through the sewers and an-
derdrains showed that tha important
work of flashing them was faithfully at
tended to. Bat so constant and copious
have been the rains for a month past, that
no aoomnnlations of garbage have been
possible. A cleaner city is not to be
foand in the country. Judging from the
mortuary statin os, also, of tbe past week,
it may ba added that there is no spot
more salubrious. Indeed tlio^physioians
report an almost entire abseno^qf ordi
nary malarial favors.
The people, of coarse,
ABlJ BUOYANT,
and trade ha3 opened exceptionally early.
But the receipts of cotton, as elsewhere,
fall far short of the Bame date last year.
In fact, there have been but very few
bales of the staple received as yet, and
the crop is certainly full three weeks be
hind that of the past season. This,
however, can be reasonably aooeunted
for by the universally growing condition
of the weed, whioh retards the matur
ing of tho bolts. The plant ia ex
panding itself at present in the
production of now fibre, flowers and
fruit, and happily, so far as we coull
see or lesrn, owing to the extraordinary
cool spell and the partial obscuration of
the heavens for many days, but little
“shedding” aa jet has taken place.
Caterpillars are to be found in numerous
localities but have wrought no material
damage up to this date. With an aver
age fall there is ample time still fora
good cotton crap.
Savannah’s seaside summer resort,
TYBZB.
By invi'ation, the writer, a guesb o
Capt. H. M. C. Smith, of the good steam
er Bridgeton, left the wharf one af
ternoon at 5:30, and after a pleasant pas
sage of some two hours’duration, was
landed on the west side of th6 island.
The weather was calm and pleasant, and
a fins opportunity was offered to view
the dredging operations in the river,
which remove so swiftly the debris of
sand and mud at the bottom. The huge
scoop is mado to descend and scrape,
then rise again loaded with about a hogs
head of the obstructing stuff below,
which by means of a long crane is whirl
ed around and dumped into the deep
barge by the side of the ugly dredge
boat. All ie done by machinery, and it
is astonishing how soon, by tho steady
process, formidable submerged banks
are removed and the depth of watera in
creased. The boat also passed quite
near the
FROWNING BATTLEMENT3
of Fort Jaokson,. now silent and tenant
less, and in half cannon ehot of Palaski,
so famous for her Yankee sweat boxes.
The new masonry on the east side ot the
work, where the breach was effected in
twenty-fonr hoars by the heavy siege
gone of tho enemy, from a battery barely
more than one mile distant, oonld plainly
be discerned. As the fort had already
been flanked by moans of another chan
nel, it is unfortunate that it had not, be
fore the bombardment, been dismantled,
and the gnns and ammunition removed
to the inner fortifications of Savannah.
MAJOR O. N. T1LTJN,
the gallant officer who, with o-iuueJ
John Screven, waa ph"-^ 11
o,, me channel approaches to
tne city during the recent war, and bore
au active pari in all the military opera
tions around Savannah, was onr compan
ion and oioerone. He explained very fully
the nature of tho crib3 filled with rock,
bricks and live oik whioh were sunk in
the most salient portions of the channel
and immediately under oommand of onr
shore batterie% and how the old hoiks
were placed to block the way oi an ad
vancing squadron. Nearly all of these
havosinoe been resiovad. Major Tilton’s
statements were deeply interesting, and
we regret that it is impossible to repro
duce tbem hore.
Debarking from tbo steamer our party
divided, Major Tilton, Captain Waples,
the writer and several other gentlemen
ard ladies entering an ambulance and
coasting around the north side of the Is
land to the hotel, following the beaob.
Tbe others went to the hotel on tho tram
way, which passes directly across the Is
land, adiatanoe of abonttwo miles.
The ambulance exonrtors had n de
lightful ride by moonlight, barring tbe
heavy load and sundry delays from oc
casional quicksands. But tha ladies were
simply charming, and the way was enliv
ened by pleasant conversation and
sprightly boa mots, and all were sorry
when, rounding a point, the hotel, which
ia Bitnated directly fronting tbe blue At
lantic on the west of tbe Island, loomed
np to view. Before reaching this haven
of the tired toariat, however, tbe nmbu-
Ianoo party paused to allow the deponent
to view tho fnmone
MABTILLO TOWER
whioh for more than a century has l- .<pt
watoh and vigil from the shore upon
every intruder, bo he pirate, Briton, In
dian, Spaniard or Yankee. The work is
unique in its structure, albeit several-
others the very counterpart of it are
known to history. %
After diligent rosoarch we oan find no
autheniio record of tho oreotion of this
tower, though it resembles very closely
the works constructed by both English
end Spaniards in the days ot Napoioon
1st and even nuterior.
Tho material is a oonorete of pounded
oyeter shells and lime known in common
parlanoe as “tabby,” which hardens with
the lapse of timo, but will not withstand
the action of fire.
THE TCWER
fs forty feet ia height, and forming a
perfeot circle.
It wa3 divided into three stories, or
compartments, tbo floors of which wore
supported by joists whioh perforated
the wails, but had long siuco rotted
away. Embrasures had been made,
pierced for carronades or gnn3 of light
calibre, aud the apertures wero well ar
ranged for ventilation. Th9 diminutive
fortification would accommodate about
150 combatants,
THE MAGAZINE AND CIiTEBN
were located on the ground floor
to euppiy tho tower with ammu
nition and water. How the latter
oould be obtained was a riddle, save
from pipes leading from the roof, or some
passage connecting with a subterranean
well or spring. Snob a fortification
might servo aa a protection -against sav
ages, but it would crumble into atoms
before a few rounds of heavy modern ar
tillery. ! ; --
As we entered the tower, Major Til
ton suggested that the lantern should be
well-advanced, as it was a famous re
treat for rattlesnakes. Bat the only
danger inonrred was from a solitary
B3LL7GSBEKT RAM
which rushed venomously upon tbo in
vaders of this ancient keep, os they en
tered tbe interior of tho curious touer.
To their ebame, be it spoken, every man
fell back as if charged by some uncauny
creaturo.
A ladder had been mounted upon the
outer wall, and one of the parly necend-
ed to the summit despite tbo darkness
and the stiff breezo whioh threatened to
tumble tarn from his lofty eminence.
But ho came down ia safety, with a
oock-asd-ball story about hobgoblin, i
scorpions and serpents.
Thus ended our visit to the Mar-
telio Tower. Before leaving, htTr
over, the party examined tne
adjoining rude habitation of the
SIGNAL OFFICER
with its carious sotentifla appendages and
fixtures. It ie a disgrace to the govern
ment that ha has not been provided with
more comfortable accommodations and
belter facilities for the perfotmanoe of
his important duties. Hard by, is the
light house, whioh ever flashes its revolv
ing lanterns seaward, to admonish
the wa'.chful mariner as to bi3 true
oourse, and point the way to safety.
THE HOTEL (
ia a staunch and commodicui structure,
admirably kept by the genial proprietor,
Mr. Y’banez. He is untiring in his.ef-
forta to make those happy who visit his
‘ Ocsan House,” and so far as the writer
is concerned, succeeded perfectly.
THE SURF BATHING
cannot bs surpassed at Newport or Cape
May. The water recedes bo gradually
that the swimmer may wade a hundred
or more yards before getting beyond
depth, upon a firm bottom free from
shells or snBgs. No rope is needed for
protection as wa oonld not perceive the
least “undertow.” The temperatnre of
the water was pleasant, and the oombing
surges of old ocean never tripped np,
tossed about and sometimes knocked
topsy turvy any band ot more delighted
adventurers npon its brimy bosom. The
present season not less than
TWENTY THOUSAND PARSONS
have visited Tybee, of whom one-half
were non residents.
Auotho» hotel ia in contemplation,
and no less than thirty tamiiico,
for the most part in their own neat cot
tages, have summered it here and en
joyed the sweet air and reviving breezes
of the sea, almost within bow-shot of
their city home. Why ehonld sot Tybee
be the resort of every denizen of Savan
nah whose only object in leaving home
ta tbe heat of summer ie to secure health
and repose.
A STRANGE OLD COUFLE.
Tbe first settlers ot this Island were
Mr. and Mrs. The husband had
served with Colonel John Screven in the
war, who is one of its owners, and at the
olose of hostilities he put them on Ty
bee to keep off intruders and watch over
his interests.
Now, they are the proprietors of a
very large stock of cattle and about 800
goats. Both are supremely indifferent
to the conventionalities of civilization,
and many fanny stories are related of
them. The husband is the conduotor of
the tram railway, bnt his wife is ^infinite-
ly the stronger vessel of the two. An
old Dutchman told the writer that he
and his companions were once taking
a Barf bath after the hour that witohes
mount their broomsticks, when suddenly
they were electrified by the most ear
pleroing sounds that ever froze the
blood of mortal man. But what should
it prove to bs, bat Mrs. at that
weird hour “i' :nning her cattle” on the
beaoh that she might select a vessel’s
cargo for Savannab. They sneaktd
away to their rent crestfallen and asham
ed that they had been so badly soared
by a woman.
THE TEAM ROAD
travoraca the whole width of the Island,
and dives in and out of “bosky dells,”
liV9 03k thickets, palmetto savannas,
tracts of marsh, and miniature prairies,
where sheep, cattle aad goats browse and
grow fat. The scene is wholly unlike
what any one on the main land has ever
witnessed, and no wonder that every visi
tor should afterwards seek the abandon
of such an existence, and the dolce far
niente which the busy world knows noth
ing of. But here we rest far the present.
The Bcqnel will appear in our next.

Tbs Monument.
The little brick structure which had
been erected on the base of the Confed
erate monument, night before last, stood
yesterday throughout the day, and was
quite a general theme of remark. The
difference of opinion aB to the propriety
of its erection was extensive, some de
nouncing it as a bit of vandalism, and
others laughing at the humorous feature
presented.
Miny remarks W6re made in reference
to it. A prominent young merchant on
Second street said it was a “solid Mnl-
dooo;” a Third street merohant thought
too muoh partiality was shown to Seoond
street in the distribution of the monu
ment; a casual observer thought the
marble used in its construction had been
smoked before leaving Italy; a capi
talist said be had money ta the stmeiure,
and wanted to see it larger; a meditative
young merohant admired the aohiteoture;
an ex-Confederate said it was an outrage;
another thought the subject too solemn
to jest about. A gay young man, proba
bly one of the aohiteots, thought it was
tho best thing he saw. It was
erooted with no intention whatever of
offending any one, but merely aa a pieoe
of humor.
The real monument is now in New
York, both statue and pedestal, and is
delayed there awaiting the action of Con
gress, relieving it of duty. This, when
done will save nearly a thousand dollars
to the Association.
D-.aggi’
mayl
The Washington Post makes the state 1
ment that of the seventeen hundred and
fifty dollars given Casanave, one thousand
waa contributed by the President aud ih
remainder by Secretary Sherman. F
proof of the assertion the paper prints
note addressed to the Secretary by Judge
Sbellabarger, in whioh he sayt: “Tri
$500 you sent me I have sent to Badger.
I still hold tbe $1,000 seat me by the
President. He reports collusion and
fraud. Wha: shall I do!” Judge ehel-
isbarger was afterward directed to send
tho President’s thousand dollars to New
Orleans. Every now development shows
still more .how unfortunate it was that
Cassanave wouldn't take an effioo arid
leave the administration alone to inn the
Ohio campaign without any of this ex-
Densive bother of paying Returning
Boards debts in cash.
Every moment of our lives evory p«S of
