In the communication in Sunday’s issue, signed “Bay Street,” relative to purchasing the entire Barracks lot for a public build ing site, there are two small errors which might cause a misapprehension of the mean ing of the writer of it. The errors occur in the following paragraph: “Our Represen tative in Congress would be in better con dition to urge an increased appropriation with such a refusal of the pro)>e, ty on tile than he would tie if the price was an ojien question, which might lead to a suspension of a job to relieve the Treasury of a part of its surplus.’’ The word “condition” should be fiosition, and the “suspension” should be suspicion.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1887. TO CIRCLE THE CITY. The New Street Car Line—What Presi dent Smart Says About It. An advertisement in the Morning News giving notice that the new street railroad with the long name, Savannah Street and Rural Resort Railroad Company, would apply for certain streets in addition to those recently granted them by City Council, at tracted considerable attention and favorable comment yesterday. The route is one over which a street railway is much needed. In a conversation with 11. P. Smart, Esq., the President anil (General Manager of the new company, he stated that tho work of build ing the road will commence as soon as the iron arrives, probaMy in a week or two, and he expected to have cars running over the road by Jan. 1. The route is from the Ocean SteaiiLship Company's wharves up Indian street, through West Broad, Liberty, Montgomery, Seventh and Habersham streets to Bolton streets, and from West Broad through Bay to East Broad. Should the Council grant the additional streets the road will la* ex tends! through East Broad, President, Randolph, Liberty, East Broad streets to Boiton street. The line will not only afford a much needed connection between the busi ness part of the citv and the wharves, cot ton presses and railroad depots, but it will la* an important factor in building up tho city. Mr. Smart says that the company has ample capital to build and equip the entire line as projected, mid to do it quickly. All that is asked is that the city authorities give the right to the streets, anil the company will have all that part of the railroad north of Anderson street finished long licfore the limit fixed by the resolution granting the privilege. The building of the road will undobtedly have a very marked effect on the future growth of the city. The line will cover five and a half miles of streets, and the esti mated cost of the road, thoroughly equipped, is SIOO,OOO. THE RATE WAR OVER WITH. Southern Freight Rates Readjusted and to be Restored Nov. 1. The Southern Railway and Steamship As sociation met in New York last week tocon sider the restoration and readjustment of freight rates to tho Southeast, which, on ac count of the recent action of the Clyde Line Steamship Company coastwise, has been in an extremely demoralized condition. In the universal cutting of rates that grew out of this demoralization, first-class rates that were 65c. tier 100 pounds on the schedule were cut down to 25c., and everything else in proportion. The association agreed upon a common basis of both freight and steam ship passenger rates for the coming season, enacting a schedule, which goes into effect Nov. 1. Under it all minor differences were adjusted, many of them only as the result of a compromise, but concluding ultimately in a restoration of rates to the former figures. Rules and regulations to which each road subscribed were adopted, under which mu tual rates are pledged to be maintained and only deviated from to meet fortuitous com petition after the necessity or propriety thereof shall first be communicated to the association and passed upon by it. Arrange ments were made for the submission of all questions arising under the new schedule to the general Eastern agents of the roads rep resented in case the question is one regard ing freight or passenger rates southward, and to the representatives of the roads in the South if the question relates to north ward business.

Moroso, one of the oldest mem bers of the Sews and Courier stall', and for the past four years President, of the First Wal'd Democratic Club, was assaulted in a most brutal and cowardly manner Sunday morning iu Nesbitt’s barber shop.

I was waylaid iu a position where I was unable to defend myself. 1 had not in any way insulted my assailant, and was totally unprepared for his assault on me. I am known to almost evervliody in this comiiiiifiity, and 1 nm confident that I have never intentionally done a wrong to any man. I have, how ever, been usaaulted before for doing my duty. I shall invoke the law for mV pro tection, as I have too much at stake to risk a tight with bullies and blackguards.” *HThe Youths’ Historical Society will give its annual opening entertainment al Masonic Hall to-morrow evening, nnd will present the drama “All’s Well That Ends Well,” and the quarrel scene from Julius Cresar.
