The Assn:iIt l ...ni .iir. Norwood—
Savnnnnli Not Satisfied.
The disappointment of Savannah
n not getting what she asked of Con
gress has taken shape in Mr. W. W.
Gordon’s liecoming an aspirant l'or
Congressional horrors. Meanwhile
Mr. Norwood writes an open letter
for his constituents to read. Here
is an extract:
Another charge against inc is. that
I have neglected Savannah’s interest
in giving my attention to other parts
of the district. Let us see what there
is in tlijs electioneering?
I got a public building for Savan
nah, but so far, have not obtained one
for Brunswick.
I got 60 per cent of the estimate
for the harbor here and a little less
than that per cent for Brunswick.
True, I have worked hard to get a
bill fora building at Hrnnsgick, and
expect to get it, if work can get it,
tint I have not neglected Savannah,
'l'lie strange part of the matter is
that Brunswick says: “Well done,
gtxftl, and faithful servant,” while
some people in Savannah -say, "We
intend to send him to the rear.”
While this charge of neglecting
Savannah is talked on the streets
without spccitications, so far as I
have heard. 1 learn that some citi
zen-* <’f Darien leel that her port lias
not ,(.... J istice done to it. They
naturally feel disappointed because
the rivers and harbors hill does not
appropriate for permanent improve
ment of Doboy Imr. Here again, ns
I believe, the fault is laid to me, on
ly because those citizens referred to
•do not know that Lieut. O. M. Car
ter reported positively against un-
-dertaking that work on Doboy bar,
on the ground that the commerce of
Darien, at present, does not justify
the expenditure of between $3,000,000
und $1,000,000. With that report
before the committee, who can lie so
unjust as to imagine that I neglect
cd Darien because I did not get an
appropriation for that bar? i have
spoken to Lieut. Carter of this work
within three days past, and lie au
thorized me to say that the respon
sibility for no appropriation for it
rests solely on him.
I have the best of reasons for be
Having that I shall get more than
$90,000 for Savannah, but * it will
probably be on the old estimate. And
1 have no doubt that at the next ses
sion, if not before, thc.new work will
bo commenced, 1 expect also thnt, by
the next session, a plnn will be adopt
ed for obtaining deeper water at Do-
bov Bar.
From tlio other sixteen eobuties in
this District I have heard no com
plaint. I cannot Nay that the citi
zens of Darien complained. They
were surely disappointed and very
naturally, without knowing that the
relief expected was rendered impos
sible, at this time, by the engineer’s
request.
The President appears to have
made an excellent selection for Chief
Justice, Mr Fuller was not known
to the country until a few days ago,
whendic was mentioned in the public
prints as tho one who was likely to
receive the appointment to the high
est judicial ofllcc in the country. He
is a Democrat, but not a partisan.
He does not appear ever to have taken
a leading part in polities. He is a
scholar, and a lawyer, and is just
about the age when a man is able to
do his best intellectual work. Having
good health, and good habits, the
chances arc that lie will have a long
career on the bench.
The Republican Senators and Rep
resentatives from Illinois speak in the
highest terms of him, and if those
Republicans who know him have no
fault to lind with him, it is quite safe
to conclude that 1 the President lias
not made a mistake. If he is ns well
fitted in cyor.v. respect for the great
otlicc as he. is represented to be, there
ought not to be any unnecessary de
lay in confirming his nomination.
The girls in some parts of Africa
have to be six feet tall before they
can marry. The Africans probably
think that a small woman cannot
manage her husband. A brief resi
dence in this country would soon
teach them better.

Asking ti Jinn to Steal.
The New York Uiapliic says: The
people of Seneca Falls wore aston
ished when they learned that N. P.
Wells, of the Seneca Falls hank was
a defaulter to the extent .$) 0,<>00.
If the people had stopped 1'or‘a mo
ment to reflect they would not have
been astonished in the least. Mr.
Wells was a man of family. He had
to wear clothes and cat every day,
and his wife and ^ildrcn had to be
clothed and fed also. Occasionally,
as in all families, there were doctors’
hills to pay. and to meet all.tliis nec
essary expenditures, he received the
annual salary of .$-109. .
Tile directors of the hank expected
their cashier to appear at ' ids ilesk I
with ti clean collar aroiyid his neck
and a suit of clothes that would not
make him look liken tramp, and, to
help him to do this and at the same
time prevent his family being sup
ported at putdic expense, they paid
him the munificent salary of eight
dollars a week! Who is to blame
for this man’s downfall? llow many
employers arc there right here in the
city who are holding out temptations
to employes, by paying them to steal?
To ask a man to he respectable, to
live^n a manner that in some degree
corresponds with the importance of
his position, aud to pay him eight
dollars a week, is putting a premium
oti dishonesty.
The Hawkinsviliu Dispatch sug
gests the name of Col. J. II. Kstill
of the Savannah Morning News, as
a delegate from the State at large to
the St Louis Convention. A better
selection could not he made, as he is
a sound Democrat, in full accord with
the tarill policy of the administra
tion, and a gentleman of strong force
and talent.
To Have a Public Building.
Should the Senate bill recently re
ported favorably providing- for the
erection of public buildings for post-
offices in towns where the post-office
receipts for the three years preced
ing have exceeded three thousand
dollars annually pass, .1,lie following
towns and cities in Georgia will have
buildings erected. This bill, how
ever, will not include the places men
tioned below that already,have build
ings. The sum to be appropriated
for each building is $25,000.
The places are: Albany, Americas,
-Athens, Atlanta, Augusta. Bain-

Forslsncrs In Itus.tn,
An interesting paper issued by tho
Russian ministry of tho interior informs
us that tho yearly average .number of
foreigners arriving in Russia is over
800,000, and those who leave the country
750,000. Exact statistics of the years
1872-81 havo been kept, and it appears
that during these'ten years 0,458,133
foreigners arrived aud 8,025,108 de
parted. The nine and a half millions of
arrivals are thus classified: Germans
come first, with 4,871,571; then Aus
trians, 1,805,143; Persian subjects num
ber 255,207; French. 122,771; Turkish
subjects, 70,887; Roumanians. Pul-
garians and Servians, 41.878; Eng
lish. 20,001; Italians. 17,350; Greeks,
14,835, and all other nationalities
120.038. In recent years most of the
foreigners who have settled in Russia
have chosen as their place of residence
tho western and Baltic provinces, the
two capitals, and tho larger towns on tho
Volga. The German population of Rus
sia. who remain German subjects, is
found chiefly in St. Petersburg, Roval,
Moscow and Nijt-.t Novgorod; die French
in Warsaw. St. Petersburg. Moscow,
Kiev and Odessa; Austrian subjects in
Kameiiitz-Podok'c. Volhynia 'and Kiev;
Greeks. Turks and Italians in Odessa anil
in all t• towns of the Crimea and of the
Caucasus: toe English settle near their
native element in the ports; and a few
citizens of tho United States live in St.
Petersburg and Odessa.—London TiniC3.

following reply: "It is generally be

Aristotle mentions tho subject in. his

Fifth century an edition of tho Four
Gospels was published, in which tbe Now

lines regulated by tho sense. Modern
punctuation appears to liavo been very
imperfectly understood till the close of
tho Fifteenth century, when the Venetian
printers adopted some fixed rules, which
gradually became general throughout
Europe. Perhaps, however, some of our
readers can throw light on tho subject."
