i T. ( STACY*SON, PUBLISHERS. FINANCIAL* FACTS, Which the “Oldest Fogy/ Points Alitor. oat to the .Thinking Cittsen. i A<lvertl»«i^Api*«l: Jp Allow me to call the attention of the public, through your cqluuing* to some points with regard to sewerage ' y which have been overlooked by the . advocates of that measure; although to me they appear to be very impbr- taut. * *' '• ; ! , «£§ First, in oVder that, sewerage may be of advantage to the community, if must be obligatoiy to all restdents on the line of mains to connect with ^WMten. In order to oohheot arid safely, these residents mustput in a system of water dosests or sinke. If they do so, they must have water service from the elty water works: These expenses are not considered in the appropriation of bonds for sewerage.. This city is, with the exception of the business portion on Newcastle and Bay streets, widely mattered as to houses. Many blocks have at one end the dwelling of, an individual who could well afford to spend $50 $100 to put in plumbing necessary to connect with the sewers. At the other end, or intermediate, may be the residence of a man whose whole income is not more than enough to supply his wants and those, of his family, and who could not possibly , afford to.connect with the sewer and pay for water supply. .In such a case, and there are many such, it would be an injustice to the large property holder, that he should expend the sum necessary to connect with the sewer, and that his near neighbors should continue the present system, Convict Dots. ** Governor Gordon has ordered the two Williams convicts from Coffee sent back to Glynn county jail for safe keeping. A supersedeas bad baan granted, but the men had been sent on before it reached here. Hcnte the Governor had to Interpose bis authority to' get them for their sec ond trial. ' . The reason assigned by Governor Gordon for the pardon of Higgin botham was, that Clansy, the man killed, said before hwdied, that ^‘he was the one to blame and that he did not wish Mr. H. prosecuted.” Bunch Sybil, Dock Easterling, George LoVell and Edward Rogers, who were sentenced last Glynn Su perior Court to spend the next 7 to 20 years in the Georgia penitenl ary, left this morning in charge of a gnard for the scene of tbeir labors % eidal, but which has not yet increas ed our death rate above eight per one thousand The expense for putting in water closets and connecting with mains for a distance of thirty feet, which would he the minimum, would,be for each house $25. The water supply, which would he absolutely.necessary wohld he $1 for each spigot per month. While there are numbers of (citi zens who would be willing to spend this amount, how many would he un able to do so ? If sewerage is to he used only by those who can expend the amount necessary to connect with both sewer and water mains, wbat good will accrue to the vast majority who can do neither ? Sec&nd. I do not wish' to discuss the engineering difficulties, as it would require too much space; but if the outlet to the main at Clubb’B creek is at low water mark, how is the sewerage to find egress at flood tide and high water ? * If it docs not find this egress, it must accumulate in the mains and generate gas. What disposition is to be mode with this'gas? What is to prevent it, in the hours which must intervene be tween high and low water, frorii forcing its way back though any system of traps which may bq put in ? Many parts of the town through which the sewer mains pass as per plan, are much lower than high wa ter mark at ordinary tides. How, . then, are we to expect to get a fall sufficient to flush them without a system tit power pumps, for which we will require an additional arte sian well ? In conclusion, * I would suggest- tliat the present system, if properly carried out, is sufficient to keep this city up to its phenomenal position as to health until it becomes more thickly settled and in a better flnan- A Half-Way Place. Captain Buriwy Dart, the steam boat man,' has been considerably worried of late with his boats—dif ferent little things getting out of or der and breaking into his arrange ments. We met him yesterday morn ing, just after he had learned that the pattern to a certain wheel that he had to have re-cast was destroyed, thuB making the delay of one of his boats a week instead of a day. This was too much for him.

At an early hour there was a throng of beautifully ttressed ladies and gentlemen. The bind struck up and dancing began, and after two or more quadrilles bad been enjoyed or der was called by some one, where upon Capt Young stepped to the middle of the floor and n ‘a few well chosen words delivered to Mr. Fuller an elegant gold wat^ tand chain with the following insC iption on the inside.of the case: “T f.'W'arren A.

How ever, its impressions will bo felt for a long, long time.
