Robert Falhpnt, Judge Pre siding, and to the Citizne of Chatham County: Gestlkhex— It is within re than ordi- Bar y pleasure that we sublit to you the re- of our labors a:d i vestigition, hav ,'g comfortable quarter* with all modern conveniences, in a buildng so well lighted, heated and ventilated is our new court bouse is. We congratulate the Mthorities upon the completion of a buildlnStbat will stand for tears a credit to our mmunity and a monument to the enterpise of pur citizens. Xbe committees appinted to discharge the various duties assjned them, and, as are customary, have attnded to tuein with interest and zeal. Wo are glad that th stereotyped com riaints of so mary g cu juries that have i receded us iu retereuce court house and ail aie a memory, lie report the court house and jail all that ite could ask for. Jailor’s books neatly ail carefully kept. Tax receiver's books natly and systemat ically kept. Ail the books of the mgistrates have been examined that have bee: Drought before us. Each o£ the eight inagitrate districts in Chatham county are if reseated by two magistrates, with the okeptlou of the Fifth and Seventh, which artfupreseuted by one i-sch, and have found ujs; of their books kept properly, and chafes entered accord ing to schedule prices frnished us. The books of James Buckner, Sixth district, and McLeod Ung of Seventh dis trict were not submitted to us. The magistrates complain that in the search for criminals out ol the oity they are often oiliged to pay for a team to con vey a prisoner at their own expense, and respectfully ask that the graid jury recom mend in such cases they bo rdmbursed, and that they may have a small tllowauce for their time—in bringing a prisoner. We recommend this application-compensation to be fixed by the county coninissioners. The books of the county trasurer, and of the clerk of the county comnissionors, we report as having examined aid Had them neatly kept. We report 108 prisoners n the various convict camps, as follows: tamp Lawton 38 prisoners, none sick; Caap Walker 19 prisoners, none sick; Camp Jo. 251 prison ers, 7 sick. The county roads we fincin good order, except the following: Ogachee road at Bourquin’s crossing has beet badly worked. We report books, record), etc., In ordi nary’s office, clerk of suprior court and sheriff, as having been exaifined and found satisfactory. We commend item as efficient and faithful officers. We respectfully urge upo the represent atives from Chatham coulty in the state legislature to frame and preent for passage some suitable law in refereioe to elections that will protect our cointimity from the danger threatened by the pruhase and sale of votes, at least to diminia the possibilities that exist. Tue purchase if the franchise or the sale of the same oould be among the greatest crimes, and should be dis countenanced by all true aid patriotic citi zens. it is one of the mot dangerous ele ments in our system of ;overnment, and calls for the most stringeu laws to protect the builot and defeat thesefraudulent prac tices and most dangerous, In this commu nity, where there seems ft be so much pur chasable material. We find that the fees pid the county reasurer are excessive, Oil a hardship to be taxpayers for the srvices rendered, .nd in our judgment sore change should •e made to save the couuy what appears and be an unnecessary expase. The treasurer during te fiscal year end g March 1, 1890, receiv'd $274,790, and übursml #215,974. For tis service he re tired $5,378. For the curent year up to hb. 1 he has been paid $,741, or for the Jar ending March 1 nxt, estimated at abut $7,000. le is required to give annd of $150,000, nu< has had in his i andsof county funds dutng the past twelve jonthi, taken by baknees as of the first c oaoh month, au aveage deposit of $30.08, the highest arntunt being SBB,OOO, audthe lowest $2,400. Hi pays out funds only in an order issued by tue county comuiissioers, which orders are mtered upon the coimissionors’ books over the signature of thochairman of tho board and auditing comuitee. The funds received by km are regularly reported by the tax collator to the com missioners, and a record f the same kept by them. The servioe rendered by the treasurer to the oountys simply to issue bis receipts to the tax cofictor for funds re ceived, and pay out thesofunds on an order of the county coramissioers, and keep a record of the same. Fora like service in other counties, we find tht Fulton county pays her treasurer sl,Boi per annum, and he is required to give a lond of SIOO,OOO. Bibb county makes the elrk of the county commissioners ex-officio treasurer aDd pays a salary for the work if the two offices combined of $2,o00; Richmond county pays its treasurer $1,200 pd annum, while Chatham pays this year jf,ooo. In view of these facts, the grand jury recommends that our npresentatives ad dress themselves earnestly to the subject of local legislation which Wll remedy the evil, save the taxpayers of the county the lurge expense to whi>hth6y are annually put for a nominal tad an unnecessary service. A number o.' other communities in our state have lad such legislation passed, and for the very purpose of saving .1® expense. An examination of those laws will strongly fortifyour suggestion that the wholesome exarnplebe imitated. ’’ ® recommend that salaries for 1891 for grand and petit jiky service be fixed at $2 P® r . d “y.f° r each diy’s service rende. ed, also thM bailiffs’ salary be fixed at $2 per day. r o,°. recorntne i‘ d fbe appointment of A.

The East Tennessee management will lay a double trace from Rome to Chattanooga and Bristol this coming summer. The Pullman Palace Car Company now operates 2,050 sleeping cars over 126,037 miles of railroad in thu country. The com pany has about $20,*.09,000 invested in cars alone. The Spartanburg, the second of the Central’s handsome new sleepers to arrive, reached Savannah yesterday morning. It is upon the same style as the Atlanta and fully as handsome Proba ly the most unique and expressive annual pass for 1891 is that recently sent out by 4tr. John Hoey of the Adams Express Company. On the face, delicately en graved, Is a skull, and about it in fine let ters is the word, “deadhead.” Tbs engineer employed to survey the pro posed route of the Augusta and West Florida road has been ordered to organize his corps and be m the field within a fortnight. The work of surveying will then be continued until Thom&sville Is reaohed. A Pullman conductor, after long years of of service, epitjmizes his career as follows: Pleasure received, some; insults from supe rior officers, many; money, none; gratu itous insults from passengers with hoggish notions, several thousand; wordly knowl edge, a great deal. On the main line of the Pennsylvania road, between Pittsburg and Altoona, there pass daily more trains than on any other piece of rood iu the United States. During ing the prosperous coke s ason, when the ovens are running to their full capacity, there are 356 traint, freight and passenger, passing between the points named. It is said that the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus road is about to extend Its line to Tallapoosa, and the citizens of that town are making a strong effort to assist in every possible way, so as to secure the extension. The people of Rome are also taking deep interest In the move, as it iB expected the extension will bring a large amount of ad ditional traffio to that town. President Inman of the Richmond Termi nal says: “I have no option on Baltimore and Ouio. E. R. Bacon has been securing an option for the controlling stook. I gave him au option on mine. I do not know whether he is actiDg for Mr. Gould or not. We have not bought any line north of the Ohio, and do not intend to go west of the ITiisiisippi. We have not made any trade with the Louisville and Nashville. It iH true that we have become more aggressive toward the Pennsylvania, but this is because wa want better facilities and better rates. It is true Mr. Gould has beeu iu conference with Pennsylvania officials. I think they are disposed to give us what we want” The old project of a bridge across the Bosphorus, to connect Europe and Asia, and first broached more than twenty-five years ago by the Austrian engineer Von Rupport, has, of late, again come to the frout. A design for a bridge is now being considered by the Turkish government. It specifies a length, Including the approaches, of 2,000 meters (about 6,soofeet), with draw spans. The hight of the bridge above the sea level is to be forty meters (about 131.2 feet). On the Asiatic side it is proposed to build extensive docks and elevator plants in connection with the bridge terminal. In cidentally it is mentioned that the harbor of Constantinople is used annually by abo it 37,000 vessels. R. H. Elliott, one of the contractors on the extension of the Mobile and Girard ex tension from Troy southwarl, reports work progressing as favorably as the weather will permit He says the present contract will be oompleted about May, and will oarry the road into Covington county, three miles from Andalusia and about fifty or sixty miles from Troy. The Escambia river is between the proposed temporary ter minus and Andalusia, so that town will not be very largely benefited by the road yet. It does not appear to be the present inten tion of the Central people, says the con tractor, to push the line on through to a connection with the Louisville and Nash ville, but of course It will be built before a great while. The postoffice department is sending cir culars to the railroads containing that sec tion of the law prohibiting the carrying of letters upon trains outside the mail unless properly stamped. The law on this point is rigid, excluding everything but way-bills on the same traiu with the freight, but the government officials have ruled that letters on legitimate railroad business could be carried by trainmen with out the payment of postage, so that the universal oustom has come to be re garded as lawful. Oae of the sections of the postofflee regulations thus permits the carriers of letters pertaining to the business of the road carrviug the letters. There are many letters wnich go over two or more more roads each of which would, under this clause, be held liable to postage, but it is not clear whether It is this olass, or private letters of employes, that the present order is aimed at. The annual “Record of Transportation line owned and operated by and associated in interest with the Pennsylvania rail road" is always an interesting volume, comprising, as it does, maps of this im mense system, and detailed statements of the mileage of all tracks of each company included iu it, occupying some thirty large pages. .From the record just issued it ap pears that on Dec. 81 tho Ponnsylvan a railroad system, as thus indicated, comprised 7,743 65 mile3, lying In twelve states and the District of Columbia. Of this total 4,340.60 are east of Pittsburg and Erie, and 8,897.08 are west of those point?. The grand total of miles of track of all kinds was 13,302, of which 1.890 miles were second, third and fourth tracks, and 2,757 were sidings. It is significant that the great Pennsylvania system increased its mileage only 80 miles during the year, showing that the ambition of its managers is chiefly con fined to taking oare of what they have rather than adding new mileage. The chief clerk of the railway mall ser vice, Fourth division, has just received no tification of the official result of the exami nation for medal award recently made. Following Is the report: The committee on modal award have the honor to submit the result of their examination of the records of olerks in the Fourth division. Case records of less than 5,000 cards have not been considered. Wo award the medal to Henry M. Robinson, Charlotte and Atlanta R. P.

We would also give honorable mention to E. R. Bolger,* Columbia, Sumter and Charleston R. P. 0., whose record we at tach: Number of separations, 275; number of cards handled, 5,147; number of cards correct. 5,145; number of cards wrong, 2; percentage correct, 99.96; time, 2.42; nurr ber of incorrect slips, 84; number of errors, 114; errors checked, 2,006. A report is current in Kansas City that H. C. Townsend, general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific, is to be appointed passonger traffio manager of all of tho rail road lines controlled by Gould. The report, so far as ascertained, emanated from Chi cago. The appointment will be made, it is said, on March 1. and a circular announcing the change is expected next week. If the report be true Mr. Townsend will have charge of the largest passenger department in the world. His authority will extend over the Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific and Richmond Terminal systems, accord ing to the report, and he will have ex clusive control of the passenger business of these three great systems, together with other lines Gould may acquire. It will be the biggest passenger office in the country, and will place Mr. Townsend at the head of the passenger agents of the country. It is also reported that the freight department will be similarly arranged. Henry C. Townsend hai been general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific tor six or seven vears. Before going with the Miseouri Pacific be was general passenger agent of the W abash, being appointed to that posi tion when the east end was known as the Toledo, Wabash and Western. A correspondent in Russia of the Philo THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1891. delphia Ledger is not vary favorably Im pressed with railway traveling in the land of toe czars. This is what he savs of traveling in a Russian sleeping car: “You must furnish your own bed clothing, pil lows. wraps, towels, etc., and as ail travelers in Russia as a general thing have them you are not much incommoded, except at times, when you cannot undress. The great trouble is from the unusual amount of bundles and traps of all sorts that passen gers are permitted to take Into the cars with them, oftentimes thereby infringing upon the rights of others in the occupying of all the racks and most of the desirable teats, especially so when often upon trains of from ten to twelve passenger cars there is no more than one half of a cir allotted to first-class passengers. The first-class half is painted blue outside and numbered, and the other half drab, also numbered as to class. You are also annoyed at the clouds of cigarette smoke, caused by the universal habit of smoking in the cars, at table and almost everywhere else. There were no smoking rooms, not even in the hotels. Women, without regard to rank, all join in. Travel is generally by second class ; the ;>easants by the third, with very little difference, except in fnre, between the first and second class. In the first you have more elbow room and freedom from bundles. Bnould you be lncky enough, as we were, to secure ahead the exclusive use of a compartment you can be very comfortable indeed." AT THE THEATER. Katie Putnam In "Lova Finds a Way”— "Dad’s Girl” To-night. “Little" Katie Putnam delighted a large audience of her admirers last night. The play in which she appeared is a beautiful romantic comedy-drama, “Love Finds a Way,” and the part of “Gay Howard" is well adapted to her capabilities. Bhe is ever young, bright and versatile; always rt tabling her old and well-earned popularity, ever charming to her audiences throughout the south. Miss Putnam was received with a hearty demonstration of the appreciation in which she is held in Savannah, and a lovely testimonial, a large and beau tiful basket of native flowers, was presented to her by admirers. The, support is gooi throughout. The “Samuel Smirks" of Ed win Gardner added greatly to the enjoy ment of the oomedy, aud his songs were es pecially pleasing. Miss Putnam will appear to-night in Schwartz’ssuccesiful comedy, “Dad’s Girl.” In the part of "Mulvina Sophie Hopkins” ■he has amused aud delighted audiences all over the country. The Mendelssohns To-night. There are few traveling organizations that enjey the popularity ot the Mendels sohn Quintette Club, which in its successive tours of forty-one seasons has traveled over almost every country on the globe. The founder and director of the club, Mr. Thomas Ryan, is well and favorably known in every city in which the club has per formed. The Mendelssohns’ personnel has been strengthened from year to year, aud its ensemble playing is now quite, if not almost, perfect. The prima donna, Miss Barnard, a bewitching Californian, is re ceiving well merited praise wherever she has appeared. The diagram shows a flatter ing sale for to-night’s concert. This enter tainment will conclude the series of three concerts given under the auspices of the Young Men's Hebrew Association. The pro gramme arranged for to-night is as follows: Quintette In E flat Mayseder Aria from “Cosi fan tuttl” Mozart Miss Marie Barnard.

AFTER THE BAILOR BUNNER-L The Authorities Looking After the stealing of Seamen. There is a practioe carried on In Savan nah, and, in fact, in all seaport towns, wtich the authorities here are trying to break up. It is the practioe of “stealing" seamen from vessels when they are about to sail. When a sailor signs articles of shipping and the vessel is about ready to put to sea, advance money is usually given him. Thau it (a that the “runner” oonus along and in duces him to desert, promising to ship him on other vesaels, thereby giving him an opportunity for making double money. If the sailor agrees he is taken to some sailor boarding-house and kept in hiding until the vessel departs. The runner finds out what other vessels are in need of men, and he agrees to furniih the required number, ho, of course, getting a commission for each man from the mnster and also a commission an the hoard from the proprietor of the boarding house. This practice is of frequent occurrence in Savannah, but the parties are seldom capt ured, on account of the secrecy with which the work is carried on. The Norwegian bark Vaeni, Capt. A. C. Bel, lost three men by deserth u several days ago, and, as the ship is rapidly get. ting ready for her voyage, it was necessary to got them back. The captain gave the case to Detective Wetherhorn, and after considerable work he found the draorter* Monday night comfortably ensconced iu a sailor boarding house on Bav street, run by a party named Smith. He arrested the men and locked them up In jaiL They told the officer that a “runner" had induced them to leave tbe vessel and they gave his name to the detective. The captain com plained to the Norwegian consul, and that official intends to prosecute the guilty par ties to the full extent of the law. ! '-5 !! " " " - -2! CORSETS. Never broken —Kabo.
