Thr campaign for Ihr mayoralty prem
ia** lo o|*n at an rarly date. In fact the
campaign ha already opened In a way.
The friend* of Alderman Jam** M Dixon
have hew quietly at work In hi* behalf
for some time, and leading; politician*
of the administration faction are now
openly championing hi* cau*. It I*
claimed that two or three of the political
club* allied with the administration fac
tion will shortly be resiled together lo
give formal Indorsement to air. Dixon's
candidacy.
While at present Mr. Dixon *eema to be
the only candidate In the held, it I* not
likely that he will be given the prtxe
without a struggle. Mayor Myers, Alder
man Tiedeman and Col Merritt W. Dixon
ore all looked upon as very decided possi
bilities In the mayoralty field. None of
them I* saying much at present, and their
friend* are not doing much talking, but
nevertheless the movements of Alderman
Dixon are not unobserved by them
There are those who Inttmnte that
Mayor Myers would not object to another
term and that In case such a state of
affair* should lie brought about that It
would he nec iwary for him to step In and
bagmonlxe the party that he would not
refuae his lervlotw for such a purpose.
The Mayor 1* strong wlih the solid m*n
Of his party, and should he really make
up hi* mlrd that another term I* nacea
wary to round out his official existence
h oould make It decidedly Interesting for
any other candidate.
Alderman Tiedeman 1* regarded a* a
conaervailve who ha* merited the confi
dence of hi* party and the eltlxens by the
con*c|entlmi' manner In which he ha*
discharg'd hi* duties and hi* fidelity to :
the city * fnterst At the same time Al
derman 'll..lnman I* not much of a ‘ mix
er." and hi* hold upon the rank and hie
of the patty I* regarded a* doubtful A*
a compromise candidate he would doubt
lesa r> cetve < on.tderahle support outside
of the parly.
Col. Merritt Dixon I* an uncertain
quantity at present The Colonel ha* It.*
told anybody at lean, he has no* told
any of the newspaper men thst- he in
tend* being a candidal* At *he same
time theie I* a feeling abroad that he Is
Pol at all averse lo making the race Ha
would not like to run against hi* brother,
of course, his then, circumstances might
so shape themselves that he would be
called upon to lemd the opposition. Col
Dixon ha* never shown any great regard
for parly line*, and It Is claimed i
that hi* opposition to lha ad- I
ministration. I* aw strong a* ever, not *
withstanding his position In the I set cam
paign Anyhow. It can he put down that
Col Dixon will he an Interesting factor
In the campaign, and hi* movement* will
be watched with Interest.
Alderman Wells, who was thought at
one time to have some views upon the
irr.vorallty. has been away all aummer,
tnd I* not expected home until late tn the
fall. In which case he mav find the field
already pre-empted.
Alderman Mlxon'a frar* bringing

Dixon
"Jim Mixon,"' said an admit leg friend to
a Morning New* reporter, "hae given a*
much of ht* time to the ctly a* he would

the record you will llnd that he ha* rarely
ml seed a meeting, nnd that he ha* taken
an active part In every Important move
during the present administration. He ha*
not contlned himself to Ihe committee of
which he I* chairman, bill ha* taken an
active Interest In the work of the several
other committee* of which he Is a mem
ber."
Attention I* also being called to Ihe
fact that .Mr Mixon, though not then n
member of Council, tntereeted himself
very actively In Ihe matter of aecurlng
the encampment of the troops of th" Sev
enth Army Corp* at Savannah and proh
wbly contributed a* much to the success
of Ihl* movement a* any o-hir cltlxen.
Ill* acquaintance with the water depart
ment enabled him to demonstrate .hat Sa
vannah was fully able to supply this Im
portant requisite of an army rump, ttn
ample auptdy of fre*li water, and It wa
Havannali's manner of fulfilling her prom
ise* In thl* respect that contributed
more than any other one thing to lha
success of the army encampment. Wheth
er Mr Mtxon gets the plum or not, he
ha* some very strong frieml* who are
tanking him for the nomination, and It
will not he due to any lack of diligence
on their part If lie fall* of ohlu'ii'u:; hi*

It Is not likely that the antl-admlnls

Mr. Waller 8. Wilson ha* resigned hi*

ll* ha* determined to give up teaching
and devot* him.olf to tha practice of
medicine, which he will lake up after
completing a four-years' course.
Mr. Wilson has been teaching In Sa
vannah for several years, and his with
drawal from th* public schools Is regret
ted. He Is universally admired and re
spected. and his connection with the High
8-hool has had much (o do with the sue
ceas of that Institution. Supt. Ashmore
said yesterday, that ha greafiy regrets
losing Mr. Wilson, as he haa been a val
uable teacher. AH who know Mr. Wll
aon are confident that he will be eticcesa
ful as a phyalclon. Knowing Ms unusual
Inlelieetual ability and his power of con
centration upon any subject, upon wMch
h may engage In study, all are sure that
he will find th* path trod by Aesculapius
an easy one, and will master thr Intrt
. aelr# and many byways that harass and
distress the ordinary student.
It 1* probable that Mr. Wilson’s sucees
*or In the Hlith School trill b* elected at
th* meeting of the Hoard of Education

not knoatn. though It I* quite possible

Clntm In Prospect.
A petition for an order of rale of the
property recently levied on as that of
the Atlantic Contracting Company, by vir
tue of attachment proceedings Instituted
by Mlchaet A. Connolly, ag.amtt.that cor
poration. Green* and the Gay nor, tva*
filed In tha Cky Court yesterday.
It will be remembered that Mr. Con
noMy sued out an attachment before Mag
istrate M. Natightln. alleging that Benja
min D. Greene. John F. and Edward H
Gaynor and tha Atlantic Contracting
Company were indebted to him tn amount*
aggregating nearly llO.nflO Though It wa*
no; ao alleged In the petition, K was well
understood that Connolly claimed these
nmounts of money for services raid to
have been rendered the defendants In at
tachmeeu In aha preparation of cases, that
'hoy either had Instituted or were about
to Institute axalnat the government. >r
that the government waa about to Insti
tute agjilnat them.
All of these cases In which the defend
ants In attachment were thus Interested,
had direct or indirect relation to the con
tract# ,iwant*! for the Improvement of
the harbor of Savannah and Cumberland
sound, which the defendants and former
Capt. Oberlln M. Carter have been Jointly
indicted for conspiring to profit b? Ille
gally and fraudulently. Connolly hud beer
secretary to Capt. Carter, and had thus
become familiar with the varloua trans
actions and the documents that related to
them. He knew, too. where the witnesses
to varloua Incident* could be found, and
who' they would he willing to testify to
on th* stand, and was thus In pnsltlod to
furnish th* alleged consptralor* with
valimhls assistance It is his claim th.it
they promised to pay him well for what
he did At the some time that suit was
(lied against Ih* Atlantic Contracting
Company, Greene and th* Gaynors, Con
nolly also Instituted proceeding* In s'
lachmsot against hi* former employer, al
leging that Carter was Indebted tn him to
the tune of something more than ll.ati.
Raid to he for the same sort of services
that he rendered, or claim* to have ren
dered. the other defendants.
C onstabt* DllcrMhal. to whom
the attachment* were committed
for levy, levied that against the
Atlantic Contracting Company. Greene
and the Gaynor* upon the tugs William
C. Turner and Harold, two yawls and a
t bo!l*r and pump, and the attachments and
service were returned. a they were made
returnable n the City Court.
It Is this property Unit the plalntlfT In
attachment now wishes to have the court
direct shall he sold. In the petition It t*
recited that In order to protect the tug*
and other property.lt has been found nec
essary to engage the service* of a watch
man and that there are other Incidental
expenses, which. If continued, will Inter
fers seriously with tha realisation from
the sals of sufllclena monsy to meet the
attachmente. should It be ultimately deter
mined that they have been properly sued
out and levied.
The ug* and other property were levied
on as belonging to the Atlantic Contract
ing Company, one of the defendants
There was a rumor some time since, that
then appear--1 In be well authenticated
that Greene and the Gaynnr* had disposed
of all of (heir holdings and lhat th*
property of the A'lanttc Contracting Com
pany had been got rid of In the same way
and for the same purpose—to defeat the
collection of any line or Judgment that
might be Inflicted or recovered by Ihe
government. To some It has hen a mat
ter of surprise lhat a claim to the prop
erty ha* not been Died by some friend of
the Gaynors andGreene, who would boh up
serenely with transfer effected, or
sought to he effected, months ago.
1 is scarcely probable lhat the properly
will he suffered to be sold without oppo
sltlon nnd It ts predicted *y those who
mark and keep step with the trend of
events that either a replevy bond by the
defendants, or a claim bond hy some
friend of theirs, will he filed within Ihe
next few day*.

Mr. P. T. Foye has already moved Into

him at No. 11l Broughton street, west, ts

Mr. J L. Morrison, formerly of the
Arm of Foye A Morrison, has opened up
a dry goods business at 23 Broughton,
west. Mr. Morrison Is now in New York,
securing a stock of goods, ami It Is un
dersiood that he considers his present
quarters too small. It Is reported that
Mr. Morrison has obtained the building
now occupied by Ihe Drayton Grocery
Company, at WhHaker and Broughton
strret bine, ami lhat he will unite the
two buildings |n one by culling througn
the rear He may not be ahlc to do this
Immediately, however , a* the lease of the
grocery qomimny has a few months to
run yet.
