CAPT. GUERARD REPLIES.
What He Says About Ground Rent
and Ground Renters.
Editor Homing News : An article in
vour paper of March 13, beaded, “Point
Out cr Retract,” met my attention. As the
heading is presumably chargeable to the
printer, it is to be supposed that having
called upon me for proof or retraction, you
will afford an opportunity to do either, as I
may elect. The words referred to by the
caption are those which your reporter,
under date of March 12, put in mv mouth
as having been used at a meeting of ground
renters held on March 11. I say put in my
mouth, because I said “that as at present
advised I could not say that ex-
I ressly by legislation or by the
ordinances of the city an exemption from
city taxation was declared upon the lots
held on ground rent in the city of Savan
nah, but that ever since such lots had been
gold they bad not been taxed by the city,
and bad been expressly declared by it to be
free from city taxation, and that I could
prove by living witnesses that the citv au
thorities when offering them for sale had so
declared.” Besides this,l produced a bound
copy of the mayors’ reports from 1355 to
1803, from which I read extracts; thus, from
tie report of the Hon. T. M. Turner,
mayor, the honored grandfather of your
correspondent who calls upon me “to par
ticularise or retract" in these words: “City
lots or lots under lease (in 1854 valued at
$1,485,925), not being liable to city taxation,
are not included in tne above comparison;”
and the same language repeated by Hons.
R. D. Arnold, C. C. Jones, Thomas Purse,
and Thomas Holcombe, mayors. Here are
three facts: First, that such lota had for
100 years not been taxed by the city;
second, that they had been expressly de
clared by the city not to be liable to city
taxation; third, that the city authorities
when offering these lots for sale had de
clared them to be exempt from city taxa
tion.
The exponent of the present city council
says of my expression in relation to its dis
regard of the opinions and pledges of its
predecessors: “Ad this action is called
‘robbery,’ ‘swindling,’ and several other
sweet-sounding pet names.” I did say that
any one who sought to violate a similar
contract in business life would be called a
swindler. The rest of the language is a
flower of rhetoric from the garden of the
exponent. As to the expression which I
did use, the English language is copious
enough to furnish synonyms for any word,
and there are forms of ’ expression called
circumlocution and innuendo, and at the
court of Queen Elizabeth a mode of speeoh
known as euphuism came into use, but, be
longing to the plain English speaking class,
I prefer to call things by plain names, which
all will understand.
At the times mentioned the city of Sa
vannah had land to sell, aud thi terms
upon which it offered lots wore such as then
seemed most likely to secure purchasers and
enhance prices, and one of these was ex
emption from city taxation. If the lots
were not really exempt, then the city was
guilty of using deceitful m->ans and artful
pi notices to obtain larger prices which, in
Code, section 4,595, is declared to be a mode
of cheating and s.vitidling. The councils of
previous years who made the sales were not
guilty, because they honestly maintained
their contract; but of the present board
this cannot be said, aud I thus particularize
my remarks under that head. As to the
charge of waste, the reply is deferred.
John M. Guerard.
ANOTHER FOR CAPT. GUERARD.
Alderman Carson Rises to a Few Re
marks.
Editor Morning Sews: In your issue of
March 13, reporting the proceedings of the
meeting of the ground renters on the even
ing previous, you quote Capt. John M.
Guerard as having said “but that next April
the county will take the valuation made by
the city, and the widows and children will
have to practice self-denial and do without
their breakfast to pay the increased state
and county taxes.”
Had Capt. Guerard taken the trouble to
make a few Inquiries on this subj ct, he
would have had no occasion to give utter
ance to the above, which is an unwarranted
assertion, not borne out by the facts in the
case, and which he cannot substantiate.
For Capt. Guerard’s edification, and to
allay any apprehension his remarks may
have created, I will positively assert that
the receiver of tax returns will not insist
on the taxpayers returning their property
on the basis of the present city valuation,
but will be satisfied with returns based on
the previous assessment.
The county has a board of assessors, but I
understand their duties will be confined to
placing valuations on property outside of
the city limits, and their a; i will be in
voked only when there is a dispute as to the
proper valuation for taxation of improve
ments made during the past year.
The receiver of tax returns, beiDg a state
official, is responsible to the controller
goneral under the law, aud receives from
him his instructions as to how returns shall
ho received. Hence our county commis
sioners cannot, even should they desire to
do so, instruct the receiver in the matter.
Aside from this, the city has some rights
in the premises which should be remem
bered. The present as well as all other as
sessments which they have made is for their
sole use and benefit. No officer has a right
to make abstracts from the book of assess
ments without council’s permission. Should
council decide that by allowing the receiver
ot tax returns to use the book for purposes
of state and county taxation the taxpayers
of this city would pa} - more than their just
6hare of the burden of state taxes council
would have a perfect right to close the book
of assessments to the tax receiver. But
fortunately we have in our receiver of tax
returns a gentleman who is fully posted as
to the injustice it would inflict on our city
taxpayers, and no such action is necessary
on the part of council.
While the valuations of real estate in the
city are largely increased over former
years, yet with a lower rate of taxation but
lew pieces of property will be assessed for
more taxes than the owners paid on them
last year.
I trust that the "widows and children"
and Capt. Guerard will not have to prac
tice self-denial, but that they will not only
be able to take their l reakfast as usual, but
an occa ional lunch and cup of tea. Very
respectfully, J. A. G. Carson.
Give the Railroad Justice.
Editor Morning News: In the Morning
Mews of March 12 I notice an article
entitled “$2,000 for a foot.” The plaintiff
w as put upon the stand, and said in stepping
from tho engine at Milieu he stepped on
some cinders, which threw him down, etc.
Now this may be all right, but lam in
clined to think that in many cases the rail
roads get a too heavy share of justice.
There is a very general disposition on the
part of our judges to make railroads pay
too heavy for any mischief they may do.
In our town anew road was being built,
and had to run through somebody’s land to
Kot to the terminus. A party had a lot
exactly in the route worth #l5O, which
1 c claimed was damaged SI,OOO. An
other party said lie was dam
n-red $5,000 by the roads being
built by his premises though not touohmg
them, said premises not being worth $5,000.
W hen a railroad kills a cow, which would
Le well sold at $lO, she is worth from $25
to SSO, aud that amount must be paid or a
lawsuit follows. This may be right in tho
eyes of tho law, but it certaiuly comes far
short of the Golden Elite.
While I am not an apologist of the rail
toads, I am sure they are entitled to even
handed justice, and ought to be so treated.
“ beu a man comes in claimmg SIO,OOO for
damages for his his own carelessness he
ought to be rewarded according to the
amount due after deducting the oarelessueM
f r the damage. Railroad* are indis
pensable institutions, and they should have
an .qual chance to exist with other inslUu

CAN YOU NAME THE APOSTLES t
Trrr—
The Lenten Recreation That Has
Taken Hold of Washington Society.
From the New York Tribune.
Now that dinner giving has superseded in
a great measure balls and receptions, anew
fad has quietly taken hold of a part of social
Washington. At a recent dinner at which
were present a great many people promi
nent in official life, and at least two repre
sentatives of the church, someone called
attention to the odd heads on the cameo
handles of the teaspoons.
“Those,” said the host, “are apostle
spoons. There are twelve of them, and
each bears the head of one of the apostles.
By the way, I wonder how many people
here can name all twelve of the apostles.’’
There was silence for a minute, and then
one of the party, glancing toward the min
isters, suggested that there were at least two
persons present who ougar to be able to
name over the list without difficulty. One
of the ministers responded immediately.
Certainly, he said, there was nothing easier,
and he began to name over the apostles,
one after another, in quick succession. He
got up to eight, when he stopped and could
not go on. His associate could not assist
him; in fact, he bad to confess that at
least two of the names given had en
tirely escaped his memory. One after
another the other members of the party
were appealed to, but they proved equally
ignorant. At last a Bible was sent for and
the names were obtained from it. The dis
cussion created some diversion, aud im
pressed itself so thoroughly upon the minds
of tbe diners that one or two of them took
the idea with them to other dinner tables,
and now one of the common questions to be
heard at a Washington dinner table is:
“Can you name the twelve apostles?”
In the mouths of some people the ques
tion sounds irreverent, but many o insider
the discussion an appropriate Lenten
recreation. The inquiry is sometimes
varied by the request for the names of the
lost Jewish tribes.
Why Flowers Sleep.
From the St. Louis Republic.
That flowers sleep is evident to the most
casual observer. The daisy opens at sun
riso and closes at sunset, hence its name—
“day’s eye.” The morning glory opens
with the dav, but never lives to see another
sunrise. The “John-go-to-bed-at-noon”
awakes at 4 o’clock in the morning, but
closes its eyes during the middle of tbe day;
the dandelion is in full bloom only during
strong light. Thu haoit of some flowers is
certainly very curious, and furnishes one of
the many instances which prove the singu
lar adaptability of everything in nature.
The reason is found in tho method by which
this class of flowers is fertilized. It is envi
ous that flowers fertilized by night-flying
insects would derive no advantage by being
open during tbe day; -and, on the other
hand, that those which ato fertilized by bee3
would gain nothing by remaining open by
night. Why may wo ni|t suppose, then,
that the closing of flowers may have refer
ence to the habits of insects? In support of
this theory we may observe that wind-fer
tilized flowers never sleep.

Pickerly a few mornings ago. “I dreamed
that the Bartholdi statue had been removed
from New York harbor, and erected on my

on my chest for two hours afterward. I
saw a physician as soon as I got up town,
and he convinced me that I had the founda

bottle of P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root

the enemy. I know that P. P. P. is one of
the best remedies known (from family ex
