The reply was, “Oh, pshaw! these Southerners don’t know any better. “So, Mr. Editor, yon can look out for porgies duly labeled “Alaska Mackerel.” Wood! Wood! Wood!

Savannah News: August Green, charged with robbing the postoffice at Evelyn,in Glynn eonnty was tried in the United States court^’csterday and was acquitted. W. S. Chisholm, jr., Esq., wiio defended Green by special appointment of the court, may fairly be said to have won his spurs. The Evelyn postoffice was broken into and over .$50 in money were stolen, among- whicli was a bag of copper coins amounting to 74 cents. Green was in the neighborhood on the day tho robbery was committed, and on the day following lie went to Darien aud spent quite a sum of money, among which was^^ccntsin copper coins, two of whichj^cof the witnesses claimed to indgntify posi tively as having been [laced aside in tho drawer at the post,office luck penuics, they lioingJB' an old and rare issue.

The jury acquit! bis client. of the town—a species of municipal sensitiveness that is not confined to the Mayor of Birmingham. That officer, it is said, when told that there was a mob attacking the jail for the purpose of lynching Hawes, the pris- oner, and that it would be wise to call in i ho assistance of State troops, declared that Birmingham was able to take of itself. What the Mayor meant was, that if there were any elaborate prepara tions against a mob, the people would bceome panic-stricken and that the mob itself would take cour age. But it is very certain now that if the troops had been called out at the proper time, the moral force of their presence would have overawed the turbulent spirits, and the law would have boon vindicated without the shedding of blood. There is one lesson that every municipality in the South ought to learn, and that is, that a panic, bad as it is, is much better than an epi demic. When a case of small-pox appeared in Atlanta several years ago, there was great pressure brought to bear on the Constitution to sup press the fact. Wo were told that it would frighten the people and injure tiie town, but the fact was published, together with all tiie information that could be gathered about it. The one case grew into several, but the publicity given by the Constitution aroused the authorities and the re sult was that never in the history of small-pox lias the disease been so thoroughly stamped out. Fcrnandina affords another exam pie of municipal sensiveness. The authorities there concealed tho fact that yellow fever existed in the town. This concealment may have been profitable at first, but the town is now nearly depopulated. Off oa;; Cruise. Macon Telegraph.

Government Printing- Washington, Dec. 11.—The Gov eminent printing office may have to reduce, if not suspend operations about Christmas time unless Con gress gives the public printer $100,- 000 which ho needs to carry him through this month. Congress ap propriated for this fiscal year $300,- 000 less tliau the public printer said would be needed and then remained in session longer than ever before, thus greatly increasing the demands of his office. Now the public printer need $100,000 to fill out this month and this half year, and will need $100,000 more for each of the two quarters of the second half year. Congress has made no move as yet toward giving this need ed deficiency. Should the govern ment printing office have to stop work for even a brief time it would seriously interfere with its opera tions. [Savannah Newe-l • The state press, so far as it has spoken on the subject, is nearly unanimously in favor of an increase of the public school fund of Georgia It recognizes that, while the pu scoool system is very good, there is not enough money available to keep open -the schools more than three months in tho year, when to secure satisfactory results, they ought to be open at least six months. More tliau that, the state school commis sioner is nat able to provide for the teaching of the higher branches, jjnd in consequence, the more capable and experienced teachers are not found in the public schools of this slate. Another thing which causes the state press to favor an increase of the fund is that parents who cannot afford to send their children to the high schools and academies beyond the three months in which the tui tion is paid chiefly from the state fund arc leaving Georgia for other states, where greater inducements are offered in public schools. This is a very weighty consideration and one that cannot, fail to have its leffeotupon tneinb.. •- of the present legislature ..lien they come to decide how they are going to vote on Sena tor Hall’s bill to increase the fund. It is not possible to say 'how many people leave Gcergia annually on account of our defective free schools, but the number probably is consider, able, and it would be much greater were it not for the excellent public schools inantaincd by several cities and a few towns of tho state. It is certain, however, that very few peo ple, if any, are attracted to Georgia by her public schools. The public school fund, which is now about $500,000, ought to be in creased to $1,500,000. Texas pro vides more thnu that; Virginia pro vides -about $1,300,000, West Vir ginia about $1,300,000, Connecticut $1,700,000, Illinois about $9,000,000, Massachusetts about $6,000,000, Pennsylvania about $10,000,000, New York about $12,000,000 and Ohio about $13,000,000. Alabama recent ly increased her fund consider ably. One of the state weeklies was led to remark tho other day- that there were more illiterate people in Georgia than in any other state. This might not be borne out by the figures, but it illustrates the nature of the com ment that may be caused by Geor gia’s want of public school advanta ges. Such talk will not help tho state, and the legislature should put a stop to it bj’ passing tho Hall bill or some similar measure. -AND- CII1MBHIM LMBEDIELLS PALMER BROS. SAVANNAH, GA. jj l.

Birmingham Moved—A Terrible Itiot. Birmingham was stirred Saturday night from centre to circumference. R. R.
