CITY AFFAIRS.
AMI HAVANNAH.
Inlcrralliif ilrwriptlon of lh - Sfw Itnnir.
The steamship City of Dallas arrived in
port Thursday from Nassau. We are in
debted to the purser for files of the Nassau
Guardian and Nassau Timet. In a copy of
the former, of date of November 20tb, we
find the following interesting description of
the trip between the two cities, which have
again been brought into regular commum
cation by steam. The < ditor says :
The actual time at sea was filty-two hours I
from Nassau bar to the Savanu&b river bar. j
The route is au exceedingly pleasant and
safe one. After leaving this harbor abont !
three hours the pretty, green Berry Islands j
are sighted, and an hour later Htirrup's Cay
lighthouse may he seen standing out in j
bold relief by day, and at night illuminating
the arc of a circle at sea of about thirty
miles in diameter. In six or seven hours
more the Grt At Isaacs's light is visible — ]
flashing its nightly warning to mari
ners to keep off the treacherous sand
banks. From this point the Gulf Stream
is soon reached, and ships are borne on its
bosom to the northward at the rate of three
or four miles an hour without sail or steam.
After a run of some three hundred and fifty
miles on this “river in the sea,” to the
north and west, a red light-ship is seen on
the horizon pointing the way to the Savan
nah river; and the low swampy lands of
South Carolina ou the starboard, and of
Georgia ou the i>ort side of the ship, indi
cate the confluence of that noble stream.
Eighteen miles from the mouth of the river
stauds the city of Savauuali. It rests
on a bluff about fifty feet above the
level of the sea, and extends due south.
There is nothing peculiarly attractive in the
city’s appearance when approached from
the lower part of the rtver, but a little
higher up the stream it presents quite a
picturesque aspect. While, however, the
visitor who goes to Savannah for the first
time may not he impressed with the view
from the river, a drive or a walk through its
broad streets and squares—intersecting
one another at right angles—with its finely
wooded park and a sight of its numerous
buildings, some of them possessing con
siderable architectural merit, will most
certainly leave a very favorable impres
sion of the city and Us suburbs. Some of
the streets are particularly imposing, and
admirably adapted to a Southern climate.
They have glass promenades in the middle
of them, fringed with the water-oak, syca
more, magnolia an l pride-of-ludia trees. A
carriage-way is laid down on each side of
this grass-plot, and amply-paved foot-paths
run the whole length of the streets, for the
accommodation of the business pedestrians
Every other “block” is laid out in the form
of a park, with large, shady trees and well
kept walks, and some of these squares arc
ornamented with inonuineutH, of which the
Greene, Pulaski and Confederate will com
pare favorably with many in the Union.
Of tlm churches, the ludepeudent Pres
byterian, with its graceful spire,is the most
imposing; but Christ Church ami Ut. John's
are both lino structures and well adapted to
the Episcopal form of worship. [The Itev.
John Wesley was the rector of Christ Church
in 1735.]
Ample hotel accommodation tnay be found
in Havnuuali for u large number of persons,
but in the winter mouths (proper) the cli
mate is not so well adapted for invalids as
our own. From fourteen to twenty
thousand visitors stop for a short
time in Savannah evory year eit
oute to Florida, where a more genial atmos
phere for the afflicted seems the gloat attrac
tion. Regular steam communication with
this island will, it is thought, supply a want
long felt by the United States ana Canadian
invalids and travelers in search of heaPh
and climatic advantages. No hotter steamer
could bo found than the City of Dallas for
the purposes of this transit. She is fast,
staunch and a good soa boat, with efficient,
gentleman-like officers, and a larder unsur
passed at most first-class hotels.
The sailing from Savannah is in-shoro
from tlio bar, nearly south, to Cape Florida,
and is usually “as smooth as a mill pond."
Crossing the Gulf Stream occupies about
five hours, and then with the Bahama Bank
on the right, and the islands of Grand Ba
hama anil Abaco on the left hand, a pleasant
passage of a few hours brings the ship to
onr own peaceful harbor.
Whether the intercourse of Nassau with
Savunuah every ten days will bo attended
with those favorable results -commercially,
socially and healthfully- which tlio sanguine
expect’ time and efficient performance of
the mail contract will alono show ; but wo
have certainly a right to look forward in
hope. By our present steam arrangements
we are brought into frequent communica
tion with a large commercial city which'ex
ports many things wo want, while she im
ports many articles which wo could supply.
Of salt, for instance, sho imported forty
thousand dollars’ worth last year, while lur
fruit she paid about sixteen thousand dol
lars, and for guano twonty-ono thousand
five hundred dollars.
In a brief article like tlio present, it is
impossible to do more than simply refer to
Home of the advantages which may accrue
from our connection with Savannah. Tho
leading men of that city aro anxious to
avail themselves of tho extended commer
cial facilities and passenger communica
tion which tho present line of steamers re
inauguratod last week. It will ho seen
from tho article copied by us, from tho
Savannah Mohnino News, what was
done, and, further, what was intended to
liavo boon accomplished. It is our own
turn now to do what wo can to make the en
terprise a success. We have a matchless
climate, a clean, healthy eitv, good water
facilities, a fine, well-managed hotel at very
moderate charges, and steam communica
tion with Georgia every ten days. If these
advaninKes are not turned to account, it
will be our own fault. No more admirably
adapted cities for tho residence of invalids
and travelers dui.V'g tho winter mouths, can
be so easily reached, under tho present
arrangements, as Savanu’ l h and Nassau.

The Albany News says that planters give
conflicting accountsof the “topcrop.” Home
say it is opening finely, and will yield fifty
to seventy per cent, on the first growth,
whilst others assert tli&t it is well nigh no
crop. It is quite evident that very many
plantations will turn out above fifty per
cent., and it is equally certain that very
many others will fall below twenty-five.
The heavy frosts and bright sunny days of
this week will solve the question by Satur

Dougherty county jail has an average of
thirty prisoners a day within its walls.
The Augusta Chronicle says that a young
lady—a resident of Havannah—now on a
visit to Augusta, dreamed last week that the
steamer Lizzie Baker sunk, but the passen
gers were saved. A few days afterward sho
learned that the steamer had actually sunk
Haturday, but tho passengers and crew were

The Augusta Constitutionalist says that
in consequence of the sudden and serious
illness of one of Mr. Pendleton’s daughters,
he has deferred his departure from that
city for the present. Dr. Hteiuer was sum
moned, and by his advice, it is not likely
Mr. Pendleton will leavo before Monday.
While our citizens deplore the cause which
prevents Mr. Pendleton from pursuing his
journey southward as he originally in
tended, it offers an opportunity for many
to pay their porsonai respects to the Ohio
statesman.
A natural curiosity was brought to the
office of the Quitman Reporter by Mr. J. C.
Spell, of Brooks county, one day last week,
in the shape of acorn cob. The ear of corn
from whion it was one of ordinary
length, but, after tho grain was taken off, it
represented a complete human hand in
shape. The thumb and four lingers are
perfectly represented, and the cob repre
sents a complete hand and wrist in its for
mation.
The Augusta Chronicle says that Cobb
county cannot fail to bo well represented in
tho Legislature. There 4re three candi
dates for the seat in the House made va
cant by tho resignation of Mr. W. D. An
derson -Judge David Irwin, Colonel Jas. D.
Waddell, and General A. J. Hansell. It is a
good sign for the State when such men seek
a place in her councils. Each of the candi
dates lias a strong following, and the result
is doubtful. In any event the State will be
a winner.
Thus tho Marietta Journal: When the
Logislaturo meets in January it should
have the manhood to submit tho question of
holding a convention to a vote of the people.
Our present Constitution was made by ne
groes, Radicals, carpet-baggers aud Bul
lock plunderers, and it is not a true expo
nent. aud does not represent the intelligent
wishes of the people. There is much
in it that a convention would
expunge as unwise and Dernicious.
Biennial sessions of the Legislature,
consolidation of small counties, reducing
the uumbor of llepreseutatives, abolishing
unnecessary offices, lessening tho amount of
homestead exemption, aud curtailing ex
penses, aro vital questions that press them
selves upon the considerate attention of our
law-makers. Let us have wholesome laws
that will impart confidence, and that will
protect croditor and debtor in a fair and
oquitable way. This will check extrava
gance, encourage industry 7 , and foster econ
omy, aud our people will deal more in cash
and livo within their income.
About the Hon. W. D. Anderson’s resigna
tion from the Legislature and entering the
ministry, the Newuau Star says: “Now,
thou, if William sticks to his preaching, and
don’t offer for Governor or Senator, we shall
lielievo in the genuine nature of his con
version and devotion to the cause of religion,
but we have some fears that ho is hunting
for something, and, like Wofford, he will be
‘recommended’ before mauy days. He
can’t i reach as well as Colquitt, nor pray as
well as James. He couldn’t out curse Smith
if he should try. He is no Granger, aud we
aro greatly in hopes ho will abide by 7 and
stick to the faith of which he has become a
public champion.”
Home Commercial: “About fifteen miles
from Borne, to the right of the Summerville
road, an old man, his wife and two half
grown daughters, we learn, were brutally
a 7 ;d luhumauly murdered on Monday night
last. T be particulars, as we learn them from
a eutlemaii I>v '* lo name of Warren, who
passed tho place oil Tuesday afternoon, are
as follows: Four negro u.'‘' u , t ,°
house of Mr. Simmons and denififlffed to be
let in, but were told that they had no busi
ness in the house, and that they 7 could not
got in. The negroes retired for consultation
and returned, bearing a large rail, which
they had procured from a fence near by,
battered down the door, went in, cut the
old man’s throat, shot his wife and raped
the two daughters. Not satisfied with their
hellish proceedings, they then cut the girls’
throats from ear to ear, carried them with
their dead pareuts into the open air, placed
them in an erect position axaiust the fence,
robbed the house and burned it to the
ground. They then left with their plunder
to parts unknown, leaving a small negro
girl about six yea.3 of age, who gave the
alarm after the negroes had left. The mur
derers had not been caught at last accounts.
This is the most dreadful and brutal act it
has ever been our misfortune to chronicle,
provided our informant has given us the
exact truth of the matter.”
Chattanooga I'imest From a gentleman
who arrived in the city yesterday from Mur
ray county, Ga., we learn that much excite
ment prevailed in that locality last week, iu
consequence of the commission of an out
■ yage, by a negro, upon the person of a
rest .'actable lady of that county. On Mon
day the 3th i* ns4 -. Mrs. Parrott, a widow,
who lives acv ut three miles away, had been
to Spring Place, ‘he county seat, to attend
to some business ** )he court. As she
was returning home passed a negro
by the name of John ibfii tb. wfio was
loading up a wagon with wood, bmit®,
who was unknown to Mrs. Parrott, msde
an assault upon her with the intent
to outrage her person, and accomplished
his purpose. From the place where the act
was committed the negro walked some way
up a ravine, then came round to where he
bail been at work and went to town with the
load of wood. Smith probably walked up
the ravine thinking the tracks in that di
rection would mislead those who might look
for the author of tho crime, in case any
search was made. Mrs. Parrott succeeded
iu reaching a house about half a mile off
making known what had happened, and
the neighborhood was soon aroused. Smith,
who had been seen going up the ravine,
*v a little girl, was arrested on suspicion.
T, rrott w-.s asked if she could identify
Mrs. m. —.-, 0 ba( j as£all itecl her. She said
the negro . on hijs brtaßt . t pon
he had a large -u nd to be true,
examination this was n.. —tlv fit the
Smith’s shoes were found to ez- ' -
tracks made in the ravine. Smith npifu _
ing told these facts confessed the deed.
Tho indignation which was at first felt grew
into that excitement which could not be re
strained by the officers of the law, and on
Tuesday night Smith was taken from jail by
disguised men and bung in the court house
yard.

Hawkinsville Dispatch : A most awful ca
tastrophe occurred on Wednesday night of
last week in Dooly county, near the line of
Worth. The unfortunate victim was Elder
Harauel Wright Story, a Primitive Baptist,
highly esteemed. Mr. Story had beeu to
mil! ou Swift creek, and was returning home
late in the evening. He stopped to warm
himself iu front of the house of Mr. Ste
ven-*, on tho road side, where an old stump
of a tree had beeu fired, and had burned
into a hole. None of Mr. Stevens’s family
went out to where he was, or paid auy at
tention to his being there. They only no
ticed that his cart remained standing an
unusually long time for a person
merely to warm. About ten o’clock
at night, they saw his cart was still
at the roadside, and finally concluded
to go and see if anything was the
matter. Gn arriving at the stump hole a
most horrible sight was before them. The
head and shoulders of Mr. Story’s body were
lying in the hole and had burned to a crisp.
It seemed as if lie had fallen into tho burn
ing hole headforemost. Whether he had
struck his foot against some obstacle and
fallen, or whether he had been prostrated
from a fit, is unknown. In either case, he
was unable to raise himself out of the hole,
and death, in its most terrible form, put au
end to his struggles. The citizens of the
neighborhood were informed of the acci
dent, and assembled to hold an inquest and
bury the remains. Our informant, Mr. S.
P. Wilson, passed the place.on Thursday
morning, and a crowd had already collected
for the objects stated.
Oglethorpe Echo : There is scarcely a
land owner in this county who has any
woodland at all but suffers almost as much
loss, annually, from the destruction of tim
ber as his taxes amount to. If all the tim
ber that is wasted, not counting what is
used, was valued at its real worth, it would
amount every year to as much or more than
is paid to both State or county. And this
destruction is not done by him. It
is done by others, and wholly irre
sponsible parties at that. Many tenants
arc under the impression that when they
rent land they rent the right to cut timber
ad libitum, ibis ignorance, in many cases,
has become so settled that they complain as
a great hardship of the refusal to allow
them to cut timber when they please. A
tenant, unless by permission of his landlord,
.has no right to cut a green stick. But the
law don’t stop them. They will walk into
your woods and throw a white oak, with
timber enough on it to make fifty plow
stocks, and use only enough to make oue,
leaving the balance to rot on the ground.
The waste of good timber for fire-wood,
in general amoDg hands and tenants od all
large places amounts to one or two per cent,
of the value of the place. By the time the
’possum hunters aud coon hunters get
through cutting trees and other odds and
ends of waste there is not much left for the
owner. It amounts almost to a dedication
of woods to the public to own them in this
county. We suggest that our laud owners,
in drawing their contracts for the coming
year, insert a special clause that the tenant
shall cut no green timber without special
permission. Then it would be advisable to
gut up notices warning tho publio against
nntiDg without permission. In no other
couutry on earth that pretends to civiliza
tion, is' such a thing tolerated as hunting
on the lauds of another without permission.
In many cases, of course, the permission is
implied, gs in cases of adjoining landlords
and the like, Out thp principle remains, aud
without some sort of permission it is a mis
demeanor.
Columbus Enquirer: The papers are cut
ting out work for the Legislature of Geor
gia at its next session, which begins in
January; and as they generally know (if they
do not to a great extent direct) public
sentiment, we suppose that they are nearly
correct in indicating the leading subjects of
legislation. These are the repeal or modi
fication of the homestead laws; the question
of calling a constitutional convention; the
better and more secure disposition of the
penitentiary convicts; a tax on dogs, and a
change from annual to biennial sessions of
the Legislature. We hope that a proposi
tion will also be submitted separately to
the people to delegate to the Legislature
power to reconstruct the counties, so as to
wipe out many of the smaller ones, and
thus get relief from a great and unnecessary
tax upon the people. So far as a return to
biennial s'essihns ia oonwned, we hope that
the Legislature will be cantiou. in deciding
the question. That has been tried in a num
ber of the Southern States, and we
believe that it has neither given
general satisfaction, sor effected
anv great saving of expense.
It would not do to deprive the Governor of
discretionary power to call the Legislature
together in extra session, and so many or
such apparently pressing questions would
arise within the’ interim of two years that the
Governor would be very apt to accede to the
demand for &u extra session every year. On
a question of that wind, the Executive would
feel neither authorized nor' disposed to ad
here rigidly to any opinion which be might
have that there was no need for an extra
session. He would be more apt to make the
call and lot the Legislature judge of the pro
priety of action on the questions presented.

A Health-Promoting Stimulant.
Physicians who certainly ought to be the best
judges of such matters declare that wholesome
stimulation is not only desirable, but essential in
many instances. When the temporary good
effect of a sound stimulant is confirmed and ren
dered permanent, as in the case of Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, by the action of tonic and
alterative principles combined with it, it becomes
infinitely more efficacious as a renovant of physi
cal energy and a corrective of those conditions of
the body w hich invite disease. The Bitters have
received the emphatic sanction of medical men
who have observed the effect of that popular
stimulative cordial as a remedy for weakness,
nervousness, dyspepsia, constipation, inactivity
of the liver, malarious fevers, and many other
disorders. Its basis is sound o’d rye, the purest
liquor known to commerce, and itself possessing
tonic properties of no mean order.

One brother had failed to make his
collection for the “worn out” preachers.
The law of the church is absolute in its
demands. The preacher reserved the
right to decide as to the propriety. It
brought out considerable discussion, in
dulged in by the Bishop and members,
and the recreant brother was admon
ished to mend his ways.
An Elder, representing one of his
preachers, remarked that he was like
“an old fashioned country chicken-pie”—
acceptable to eveiyhody.

The Profits ou Gas.
The gas question is frequently discussed
by our exchanges of other cities. The
enormous profits that have been harvested
by gas companies have not failed to
attract the attention of consumers, and
the cost and profits of gas have been
carefully and accurately calculated. We
have before us a brief article from the St.
Louis Times, showing that the profits of
the St. Louis Gas Light Company for the
past ten years have been no less than five
millions of dollars, while the actual
capital invested in the company
never exceeded forty thousand dollars.
The enormous disproportion between in
vestment and return is thi— seen at a
glance. The Times , to show how these
gains accumulate, takes the official state
ment of the Pittsburg Gas Company,
showing the distribution of nine thousand
cubic feet of gas for each ton of coal,
and then publishes a table of materials
and their cost at St. Louis. We give this
table as of interest. To make nine thou
sand feet of gas there are required :
One ton of coal (at St. Louis) $5 00
One bushel of lime ’ 26
Labor 1 25
Interest on $1,000,000 capital at S per cent.. 2 00
SO
Two bushels of coal produce three
bushels of coke, the works consuming
one-half of the production. The remain
der is sold in St. Louis at the rate of
twelve cents per bushel. So, for each
ton of coal carbonized the company real
izes if 2 40, and to this is added the price
of coal tar. Deducting $2 80, the pro
ceeds of coke and tar, we have the cost
of manufacturing nine thousand feet of
gas in St. Louis reduced to $5 70, while
the consumers pay for that amount of
gas $29 25. The rate in St. Louis is
$3 25 per thousand, while the actual cost
to the company is a fraction less than
sixty-four cents per thousand, thus giv
ing a profit of $2 61 for every thousand
manufactured. —Augusta Chronicle.
Sib John Franklin.—-History pos
sesses fewer examples of more heroic
bearing and self-sacrificing efforts for the
advancement of the material interests of
mankind than that exhibited by this
noble martyr in his exertions to make a
discovery which if accomplished would
open to the world advantages beyond
computation. But how insignificant are
geographical discoveries when compared
with those that benefit the human organi
zation, showing how in this life enemies
may be vanquished, how the brain may
be invigorated and rendered capable of
grasping the most abstruse questions,
whether scientific, commercial or me
chanical. This can never be the case
while the body is enfeebled by disease.
The blood must be healthy, all machinery
of the body must be in perfect working
order, otherwise the brain is weak and
total incompetency to grasp the great
issues of life is the result.
Such a discovery has been made by Dr.
Tutt in his celebrated Liver Pills. They
have accomplished more good to the
human family than could ever have been
attained by the success of Sir John
Franklin.
Try it; keep trying it, and try it again.
We say this because we believe that the
health, happiness and prosperity of the poo
ple depend upon the proper use of these
medicines, which have proved so successful
in eradicating disease and defeating death.
The medicine so effective in its cure of dis
eases is the great Southern remedy, Sim
mons’ Liver Regulator. Try it; we believe
that the first trial will be satisfactory.

WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,)
Savannah, December 21, 1875, /
General Remarks.—There has been a mod
erate degree of activity in the general market.
Jobbers have been busy filling orders from the
interior and serving the few merchants who were
in the market. The demands of the trade have
been principally for holiday goods, though a fair
aggregate amount of staple merchandise nas been
disposed of. The amount of trade, however,
has not been so large as for several years
previous, on account of the stringency in
the money market and the general
depression in business of all kinds which has
pervaded the whole country this year. The retail
trade has shown a falling off also, as compared
with last year, and merchants generally complain
of hard times.
Dry Goods.—The trade in this branch has
shown less activity than any other, there being
but little demand for them just at the holidays.
Groceries and Provisions.—There has been
a good general demand for this line of mer
chandise, and jobbers, as well as retailers, have
been kept busy filling orders and serving
customers.
There have been but few price changes during
the week, the only one of importance being the
decline in meats, caueed by the dullness in West
ern markets.
Cotton.—The market for spot cotton has un
dergone no decided change since our last report.
The early part of the week the market was quiet
but firm, but for the past three days has
ruled dull and easier, with unchanged
quotations. The daily resume of the market
for the week, as given below, will show
its tone and condition for the week. We close
to-night dull and lower to sell, at for—

Sea Islands. —The market opened with a
more quiet feeling this week, but in the past few
days a considerable demand has been developed,
resulting in the sale of about 600 bales at very
full prices. These large transactions have pretty
well swept the stock, and there is now nothing
offered under 30c. We quote :
Common Floridas 30® —c
Medium Floridas 31@33c
Good Floridas 34@35c
Fme Floridas 38®40c
Futures.—The future market has been dull
and neglected, with sales of only 400 bales for the
week, all being for February; at 13c.
Crops.—There has been so much cold weather
the past week that it has interfered to a consid
erable extent, in some sections, with picking,
while in other sections we hear of good weather,
and that where cotton still remains in the fields
picking has progressed without interruption.
The receipts of cotton at this port for the past
week from all sources have been 26,992 bales
upland and 1,146 bales sea island, against 29,880
bales upland and 311 bales sea island for the
corresponding date last year.
The particulars of the receipts have been as
follows; Per Central Railroad, 20,331 bales up
land; per Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, 4,127 bales
upland and 1,102 bales sea island: per Savannah
and Charleston Railroaa, 1,742 bales upland; per
Augusta steamers, 521 bales upland; per Flor
ida steamers, 19 Dales upland and 44 bales sea is
land; per carts, 53 bales upland.
The exports for the week have been 24,368
bales upland and 66S bales sea island, moving
as follows : To Liverpool, 11,157 bales upland
and 132 sea island; to Barcelona, 1,095 bales up
land ; to Genoa, 2,420 bales upland; to Palma de
Majorca, 20 bales upland; to Bremen, 3,649 bales
upland; to Amsterdam, 4,650 bales upland; to
New York, 3,258 bales upland and 536 bales sea
island; to Philadelphia, 840 bales upland; to Bos
ton, 928 bales upland.
The stock on hand at the close of the market
yesterday was 87,284 bales upland and 992 bales
sea island, against 104,147 bales upland and 1,395
bales sea island for the corresponding date last
year.
The following is a resume of the week:
Wednesday.Decembei 15.—Market again bare of
desirable coiton, and wherever good grades were
exposed they brought full figures. The lower
qualities are no higher. Liverpool closed firm,
with sales of 15,000 bales. New York closed
