^Uurfitr =■ 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. A San Francisco gentleman says that it has been demonstrated by English scientists tlmt an excellent quality of- sugar can be made from coal tar and the refuse matter of gas works. Democratic Convention. At a meeting of the citizens of Camden county held at the Court House in St. Mary’s April 25th, W. H. McGowan was elected chairman and .1. A. Foster, secretary. Chairman stated object of the meet-1 ing was to elect delegates to attend the Convention at Atlanta May 9th next. Upon motion, seconded, Messrs. Robt. Tompkins and # F. M.

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- bridge, linrucsville, Brunswick, Col I urubus, Dalton. Gainesville, Gridin, , LaGrange, Mncnn.Marietta,Milledge- |ville, Newiiuu.

New York, located on dif ferent lots, bear the name of .7no. t . .Mason, with the record: "Died .Ian. 30, 18871, aged fiV yea is."

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.
