Marrow Escape from Nausea— Feed ing by tbe Teaapoonful—secretary Blaine Arrive*—Queen Victoria to Nr*. Garfield-A Better Feeling Prevailing, but tbe Case Yet Criti cal—Tlie Wound Doing Splendidly. Washington, August 17 —To night’s bul letin indicates some little improvement In the President. The doctors ray this much: They say he is holding his own, which Is all they could ask under the circumstances, as t.helr object Is to keep him from falling back any while bis stomach gets a rest. The second teaspoonful of beef juice given him this afternoon nauseated him a little, but that passed off and the nourishment re mained on his s'omach. Tbe doctors then concluded not to administer any more for several hours, but they intend to try to give a teaspoouful about every two hours through the night. If bis stomach will retain this they say an Immediate and satisfactory im provement in his case may be counted upon. Secretary and Mrs. Blaine returned this afternoon. Secretary Blaine said the case was not as bad as he had expected, and that he still hoped. About seven o’clock Dr. Boynton, who Is a constant attendant of the President, and who Is very frank in giving the state of tbe case, said: “The President Is certainly better. I will not say much better, but there is some im provement that is apparent to all around him, and especially to himself. He feels better. His stomach haf retained nourish ment this afternoon, which is a gt od sign. The enemata administered not only sustains life, but it nourishes him. He is gaining strength under that treatment. He is a very differ ent man now from what he was thirty-six hours ago, I can tell you. Uls stomach has been given a rest, and in tbe meantime nature has cone her work. He Is not out of the woods yet, but be is doing well, aud the prospect is cheering. “Doctor,” asked the reporter, “is there any sign of blood poisoning?” “No; there Is none. The wound is not giv ing a particle of trouble. It is doing splen didly. It is granulating rapidly, and has healed more in the last twenty-four hours than during the preceding two weeks. The President’s stomach Is yet weak, and he has no relish for food, but that will come in good time.” Doctor Agnew said he did not care to make any predictions, but would say the President was doing wdL Dr. Bliss expressed himself as satisfied with the progress of the case, and said bet ter could not be asked for under the circum -B‘ances. Everybody feels better, and things look more hopeful, but much depends upon bow the President’s stomach will bear the nourishment through tbe night. If it re tains food to night, and there is no fever to morrow morning, his chances will be good. Admonished by slight indications of gas tric disturbance after the second adminis tration of liquid food early this afternoon, no further attempt has been made, and an other rest will be given the President’s stomach. He is now sleeping, and the in dications of nausea have disappeared. Each day that shows no absolute decline is con sidered really a gain, as lu a 6hort time the nourishment required to supply the relent less exactions of the wound will, by the de creased discharge of pus, be permitted to go to the building up of the system. THE OUTLOOK MORE HOrEFUL. Executive Mansion, August 17, 8:30 a. m. [Official Bulletin] The President has passed a iranqutl night, sleeping most of the time. He continues to retain ihe nutritive euemata, and has not vomited since tbe last bulletin. Hi 9 general condition appears more hopeful than at this time yeeterday.

WHAT HE IS FED ON. 10:30 a. m [Unofficial Bulletin.]—ln conversation this morning on the Presi dent’s condition Dr. Boynton said the pros pects were considerably brighter and that the patient is resting comfortably. In re ply to an inquiry tbe doctor explained that the enemata, which were being adminis tered, consisted principally of diluted ex tract of beef, a yolk of an egg and whisky, tbe whole being dissolved and slightly heated. Dr. B'iss, In conversation on the same subject, stated that a small portion of mu riatic acid was also a part of the enemata. The latter gentleman expresses the opinion that the President’s stomach was gradually becoming stronger, and referred to the fact that the nourishment was being retained as a proof thereof. The dccter still remains hopeful, and ssys there is no reason for giv ing the President’s case up yet. Dr. Boynton, lu response to a question re garding tbe President’s taking nourishment In tbe regular manner, said it was possible that a very small quantity of diluted beef extract, probably a teaspoonful, would be given him about noon. It would depend, however, upon the patient’a condition at that hour. He has not been troubled with nausea since yesterday afternoon, at which time he threw c ff about a gill cf liquid mat ter containing a quantity of bi!e. Dr. Boyn ton says Mrs. tiatfield continues very hope ful and feels rather more encouraged to-day than she did yesterday. NO CONNECTION OF THE TROUBLE WITH THE WOUND. 11:30 a. m. [Unofficial Bulletin.] —Dr. Bliss, in a second interview this morning, was asked whether there was anything in the President’s condition to indicate that pysemU, or blood poisoning, was the cau-e of the President’s unfavora ble symptoms He replied very erapba’ically in the negative, and said that there was no connection whatever between the wound and the present troubles. That the unfavorable symptoms were due entirely to the condi:ion of the patient’s stomach, and that the attending surgeons were all quite confident that tbe treatment adopted would soon remedy this. HOW THE PATIENT LOOKS. In referring to the appearance of tbe President, Dr Bltse said that when he was shot his weight was about 210 pounds, that his confinem-nt bad reduced him probably seventy pounds, and that there was, of course, some pallor, but as he wore a full beard this was not so perceptible as it would otherwise be. STILL ANXIOUS. All the reports received from the sick room this morning have been of an encour aging characitr, and, while there Is a feel ing of reasurance, considerable anxiety Is eti'J manifested, and tbe noon bulletin Is anxiously awaited. NO MATERIAL CHANGE. 12:30 p. m. [Official Bulletin]—The PresMent’s condition has not materially char.gtd since the last bulletin. He has been tranquil and has slept some. He has not vomited, and tne nutritive enemata are still retained. Pulse 112, temperature 98 7, respiration 18. D. W. Bliss. J. K Barnes. Robert Retburn. J. J. Woodward. D. Hates Agnew. Frank U. Hamilton, amateur surgeons hbakd from. Executivb Mansion, 1 p. m. [Unofficial Bulletin ]—The President’s mail has In creased very materially since his relapse, and the suggestions as to bow the unfavora ble turn In the case should be met are innumerable. One correspondent says that if transfusion of blood should he determined up >n, be is ready to give half or all of his blood, if necessary, to sustain and build up the President. DR. AGKEW’S OUTGIVINGS. Previous to the midday dressing Dr. Ag new was asked tbe condition of the Presi dent, to which he responded, “He is better to-day.” When questioned further the doctor said: “There la nothing further to say than is contained in the bulletin, which Is stated over my own, together with the signatures of the other surgeons.” The doctor was pressed for a reply to the que-tion as to whether he considered that the patient had an equal chance for re covery. He said: “It is a bad plan to speculate on chances. The bulletin tells the story that the Presi dent is better to-day. Good morning.” AGAIN TAKING NOURISHMENT. 2 p.m. [Unofficial Bulletin.]—Dr. Bliss bfti )ut come from tbe patient’s room, and before leaving the Mansion said that the President had taken nourishment twice since the midday dressing occurred (at 12:45 and 1:45). It consisted of a cooled lnfusit n of beef, mixed with a few drops of muilvt’c acid. The statement heretofore ma’e, that muriatic acid was one of the componant parts of the euemata, was erroneous. The patient is given but about a teaspoonful at a time. What has been administered thus far has been re tained, and the improvement anticipated by it has been realized. Tfe President,shortly' after the first dose was taken, expressed himself as feeling better, and his pulse indi cated a great improvement. It has become stronger, and the number of beats has ma terially decreared. The nourishment will be administered again about 3p. m. The doctor is in excellent spirits, and feels con fident that the patient will now rally rapidly. The enemata are being continued as usual, in addition to the other nourish ment, and will not be dispensed with for the present. vomiting again. 4:20 p. m. [Unofficial Bulletin] —Up to this hour everything has apparently been going on nicely in tbe sick room. Colonel CorblD, who came from the private part of the house a few minutes ago, was asked what the indications were. He said: “Well, pretty good.” The question was then asked if there bad been any return of nausea. The Colo nel said: “The President has vomited once this af ternoon, and his pulse Is slightly higher than it was shortly after the nourishment was administered. Still, there is hope yet.” VOMITING DENIED. 4:45 p.m. [Unofficial Bulletin.]—One of the attending surgeons says the President has bad a very good day and has been bene fi'ed by the nourishment administered. In reply to a question whether there had been aDy vomiting to-day the doctor said: “No. The patient has retained the nour ishment administered during the day.” When last taken, a short time ago, the patient’s pulse was 114. MR. BLAINE RETURNS. Secretary Blaine returned to the city this afternoon, and called at the White House shortly after four o’clock. He said he had been quite well since he had been away. VOMITING AGAIN DENIED. 5 p.m. [Unofficial Bulletin.]—Owing to the contradictory information obtained during the last hour with regard to the President's vomiting, a note was sent to Dr. B iss, who Is now in the surgeons room, In forming him that a gentleman who had recently been in the private part of the hou*e, had said upon leaving tbe Mansion that the President had vomited once this afternoon and that his pulse was slightly higher. Dr. Bliss wrote In reply: “There has not been any vomiting to day.” Secretary*Blalne says that he has found things more encouraging than he expected. The Secretary is looking better than when he left Washington. DOING VERT WELL. 6:30 p. m [Official Bulletin]. —The Presi dent’s condition is cven better than it was this morning. There has been no vomiting during tbe day, and the enemata continues to be retained. Moreover, a teaspoonful of beef extract bas twice been administered by tbe mouth and not rejected, and small quantities of water swallowed from time to time excite no nausea.

THE QUEEN TO MRS. GARFIELD. 5:45 p. m. —The following was received this afternoon: Mrs. Garjidd. Washington, D. C: I am most anxious to know how the President is to-day, and to express ray deep sympathy with you both. The Queen, Osborue. MRS GARFIELD’S REPLT. The following reply has been sent. 7o Her Majesty (jusen Victoria, Osborne, Eng land: Y~ur Msjesty’s kind Inquiiy finds the President’s condition changed lor the bet ter. In the judgment of his medical ad visers there Is strong hope of his recovery. Hls mind Is entirely clear, and your Majes ty’s k ind expressions of sympathy are most grateful to him as they are gratefully acknowledged by roe. Luoretia R. Garfield. BLAINE TO LOWELL. At 5 p m. Secretary U'atne sent the fol lowing to Minister Lowell: “At half past four the phys'.clans report the President as in a better condition than at any time dur ing the past forty-eight hours. He bas re tained a very small quautity of liquid food la his stomach. Hope Is somewhat re vived AGAIN SLEEPING. 9p. m. [Unofficial Bulletin.] —The Presi dent has been asleep nearly two hours. Tbere bas been no recurrence of nausea in any degree. No morphia has been admin istered to-day. His pulse at this hour is about 110. STILL CRITICAL. The following was sent to-night to Minis ter Lowell by Secretary Blaine: “At half past ten o’clock to-night the President’s condition has not essentially changed since my di-patch six hours since. His situation, though more hopeful than during yesti rday or the day before, Is still extremely critical and fills every one with deep anxiety.” REVIEW OF THE DAT. Executive Mansion, 11 p. m.—To-day bas been a much more favorable one than yesterday, and a general feeling of reassur ance has been gradually gainiug. The Interest of the day has centered upon the condition of the President’s stomach from time to time, and great encouragement bas been derived from the fact that the nourishment takeu naturally by the President has been retained. When it was decided to give tbe President a cooled Infu sion of beef, Dr. Bliss Informed him of the purpose, and he seemed perfectly willing to take it. After the first quantity was taken the patient showed signs of improve ment, hls pulse becoming more firm and regular, while It was considerably less frequent, being as low as 106 at. one time. This Improvement contin ued from 12:40 p. m., when the first tea spoonful was taken, until after 1:45 p. m., when the second was administered. After taking the nourishment the patient slept calmly on both occasions. He awoke after the first nap without express ing any annoyance from Irritability or weak condition of bis stomach. But when he awoke the second time he re marked to the surgeons that he tasted the liquid. At this time be barely escaped be ing nauseated, and the symptoms showed that the stomach would cot bear anything further to day. One of the curses explain ed the situation by saying: “I sponged the President quickly aDd told him not to think of his stomach and he would be all right This suggestion, it appears, was complied with, and the dis turbance passed away, and no vomiting oc curred. Dr. Bliss says it was then determined that It would be best not to attempt to give any further nourlshmen’, except by means of enemata, for the present. The hope of to night is founded upon the action of the patient’s stomach, and as it gains strength, confidence In hls recovery Increases, and vice versa. Hon. Marshall Jewell called at the Man sion this evening and requested to be per mitted to see Mrs. Garfield. His request was granted, and after returning from the private quarters, that gentleman said that he had Informed the lady of hls Intention to leave the city in the morning, and that be fore starting he felt as If he would like to hear some encouraging news, and asked the condition of the patient. Mrs. Garfield responded to his request, “Do you think he Is better?” with, “Indeed I do; 1 know it.” This reply, the General says, was empha sized, and carried reassurance with It. During the course of a conversation this evening Secretary Blaine said that he was In Augusta when he first beard of the unfa vorable change In the President’s con dition, but that the information, as con veyed, did not indicate any cause for Immediate alarm. The reason Secretary Blaine was not heard from before bis arrival was because he did not deem it necessary to announce his comiDg. The Secretary felt more hopSlul upon his arrival than he bad expected he should before he reached tbe city, and while be admitted the gravity of tbe situation he thought there was decidedly good reason to hope for bet ter reports from tbe sick room in tbe near future. In a conversation with one of tbe Presi dent’s immediate attendants to-day tbe sub ject of hls general condition was referred to, whereupon the attendant remarked: “Contrary to the general Impression re garding the President’s extreme {disability, be has, without question, a great deal of vitality yet, and cannot justly be said to be extremely feeble”. A prominent surgeon said to night that he bad been very despondent for ten days pre vious to the recent relapse, but when tbe condi ion of tbe wound was thoroughly explained after tbe Irritability of tbe stomach had asserted Itself, he felt that too much attention bad been paid to the wound at the expense of the stomach, and now that the surgeons had discovered this weakness, be anticipated that great SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1881. care would be exercised over the patient’s diet in the future, and that all would go well. The gentleman said that hls despond ency had been turned Into actual hope. Before the Mansion was closed for tbe night Dr. Bliss was asked If there would be any more nourishment administered natur ally to-night. “No,” he said, “not until to-morrow. We have made the experiment and are satisfied that the tone of the President’s stomach has been Improved by It.” He raid in reply to further Interrogatories that everything had been progressing finely s'nee the evening dressing, that the patient had been asleep nearly all the time since the evening dressing occurred, and that no mor phia had been administered for three days past. While all information obtainable to-night Is of a very favorable character and shows a rapidly Increasing opinion that the pa tient will rally, there Is no doubt but that he Is still In a very critical condition, and should hls stomach become irritated in the least degree, the outlook would be almost instantly changed from a favorable to a decidedly gloomy one. Both Drs. Ham ilton aDd Agnew remain in the city to night. If the prospects continue favorable to mor row Dr. Agnew will probably leave during the day. GUITEAU DESPERATE. He Attempts to Kill a Guard—A Knife In bi* Pomcmlou—a Lively Struggle In hls Cell. Washington, August 17.—Gulteau made an assault on one of the jail guards about 4 o’clock this morning. Last night It was evident to the guards that Guiteau had either overheard or suspected that the Presi dent was worse. He was very much ex cited, and several times was caught climb ing up the bars in hls cell trying to overhear the talk of the guards. Early this morning, as McGill, one of the guards, noticed that Guiteau seemed to be paring his nails, the guard abruptly entered the cell and demand ed of Guiteau the knife he had. Guiteau replied: “So help me God I have no knife.” McGill insisted on getting the knife, whereupon Guiteau assaulted him. McGill cocked hls pistol and commanded Guiteau to surreuder. Guiteau fought desperately, and in the scuffle McGill’s pistol was dis charged. The bullet passed through the door aDd struck tbe wall lu the hall. The nolee of the discharge of the pistol at tracted the other guards, and Guiteau was overpowered. He then excitedly represen ted that the guard was trying to shoot him* The guards tbeu fouDd a knife UDtler Gui teau’s bed. It was made from the steel shank of a shoe. It Is a mystery how Guiteau got tbe knife, but It Is believed that a prisoner who for merly occupied that cell, a negro who was hung here some mouths ago, left the knife in the cell, and that Guiteau found it. He cut the guard’s clothing in several places, but did not reach hls person. VVarden Crocker, of Hie jail, denied that Guiteau had a Knife. He made lig -t of the atralr, saying that Guiteau was very much excited aud the guard caught him edmbing up the cell bars. That the guard ordered h*tn down. “He refused to descend,” said Crocker, “when the guard went In, and Guiteau clinched with him; that in the tussle the pistol went off, but Guiteau did not mean to hurt the guard.” This was untrue, and Crocker knew it, but he told that story because he thought it would reflect upon hls conduct of the jail to let it be known that Guiteau had got a knife. The truth is, Guiteau came within an ace of wrenching the pistol from McGill, and the latter says Guiteau Is as active as a cat. MATTERS IN CUBA.

Mr. Jemison, of Bibb, had voted against the bill, but he would not oppose a recon sideration for amendment. Mr. Dupree, of Macon, expressed similar views. Mr. Smith, of Oglethorpe, said the bill had failed only because of a thin house yes terday, and a reconsideration should be al lowed. The present system of schools is faulty, and needs immediate improvement. The reconsideration was granted by a vote of 89 yeas to 29 nays. Messrs. Lester and FalMgant were invited to seats on the floor by Mr. Basinger. Tbe special order was the bill appropri ating #20,000 to rebuild the North Georgia College, which was destroyed by fire. The House went Into committee of the whole. Mr. Moore, of Pierce, made a very elo quent and impassioned speech In favor of the bill, and was frequently and heartily applauded. Mr. Davis, of Lumpkin, explained that the old college building was donated by the United States Government, and, having been destroyed by fire, the State ought to rebuild It, as the college is a branch of the Agricul tural Department of the University, sup ported by United States land scrip. Mr. Miller, of Houstou, opposed the bill, as he did not consider the Dahloncga Col lege a legally established branch of the University, and only the University, under the constitution, can be given such a dona tion of money from the State Treasury. He favored a more general and Impartial dispo sition of the scrip funds among all parts of the State, and did Dot want to give Dablonega such an advantage over other sections. Mr. Wright, of Floyd, read from authori ties showing that Mr. Miller was wrong and that It was tbe duty of the State to rebuild the edifice or give the land back to the General Government. Mr. Foster, of Morgan, also read from authorities and supported Mr. Wright’s argument. Mr. Roney, of McDuffie, while wishing to aid the college could not do so conscientious ly, as he could were the college legally to become a branch of the University. When he was satisfied that it was 6uch he would vote for the bill. Mr. Brown, of Clarke, replied that the University held the deed of the lot In Dah loncga and therefore had a legal right to erect a building on the lot for a branch col lege. Mr. Orr, of Cobb, offered an amendment, making the sum #IO,OOO. Mr. Davis, of Lumpkin, wanted no half loaf. “Twenty thousand or nothing.” The amendment was lost. Mr. Lester, of Jones, while paying a high tribute to the college, said Mr. Barr.iw’s re ply had not removed Mr. Roney’s objec tions from his mind, and on constitutional groimds he could not support the bill. Tne House iu committee of the whole favored the bill, and so reported back. Mr. Barrow then moved to lay the report on the table, but the House refused. Tbe yeas and nays were ordered, and the bill was lost by 70 yeas to 64 nays. On the call of counties for new business, Mr. Miller, of Houston, introduced a bill amending the law creating the Railroad Commission, so as to authorize the Com missioners to fix rates over leased and con solidated roads as one corporation. This bill Is aimed at the Central Railroad. Mr. Patterson, of Fulton—A bill to amend the general tax law so as to tax sewiug ma chine agents in each county #lO. Mr. Hillyer, of Fulton—A bill chartering the Georgia Improvement Company. Mr. Bird, of Effingham—A bill to prevent tbe spread among live stock of glauders and other Infectious diseases. Mr. Sweat, of ditch —A bill amending the general tax law. It increases the liquor tax from #25 to #I,OOO. Mr. Basinger, of Chatham —A bill for the prevention of the organization of additional volunteer companies in Georgia, and pro viding better support for the present com mands, to fill them up and otherwise Im prove them. The bill to amend the charter of the Na tional Mercantile Debt Assurance Company was passed. The bill taxing circuses #5,000 created considerable fun, aud called forth several amendments, all of which were voted down and the bill lost. Mr. Bacon, of Chatham, made a good speech lu favor of the bill, showing how circuses demoralize labor In the country. The House concurred In the Senate joint resolution for an investigation of the boun dary of South Carolina and Georgia on the Savannah and Tugalo rivers. Mr. Bacon, of Chatham, offered a resolu tion for an afternoon session on Wednes days and Fridays to read bills a second time. Adopted. Also, for night sessions for considering special orders on Mondays and Thursdays, commencing next Monday- Mr. Crozier.of Randolph—A resolution to prevent the calltDg up of a bill out of Its regular order after today. Referred to the Committee on Rules. senate proceedings. In the Senate Mr. Gorman moved a re consideration of the temperance bill de feated yesterday, and the motion was car ried. Tbe following new bills were introduced: By Mr. Britt—A bill amending section 12.82 of the Code in reference te superintend ents of elections. Mr. Carter—A bill amending the constitu tion to as to tax only for common schools. The bill to suppress Mormonlsm lu Geor gia was the special order for discussion. Mr. Gueriy spoke against the bill, and Mr. Paine advocated its passage. Mr. Winn opposed It in its prefent form and favored amendment by recommittal. Mr. Parks did not think the bill unconsti tutional as suggested by Mr. Winn, and did not want It recommitted. The blil finally passed. The bill was passed authorizing the pay ment of certain Btate bonds held by the Noah B. Knapp estate. Also a bill au thorizing the State Treasurer to sell to Baldwin county some of her bridge bonds In hls possession. Also a bill prohibiting the sale of liquor In Dooly county. Several bills were read a third time but were tabled. THE LAW OF NATIONS. meeting of the Association for Tbetr Reform in Cologne. London, August 17.

Changes of Scotch Offlclala-ParneU aud the Irish members on the Cos. ercton Act The Triumph and Value of the Land League. London, August 17.—Mr. John Blair Balfour, member of Parliament for Clack mannan and Kinross, and Solicitor General for Scotland, will succeed as Lord Advecate of Scotland Mr. John McLaren, who Is to be appointed Judge of the Court of Sessions. Mr. Alex. Asher, member of Parliament for Elgin, will succeed Mr. Balfour as Solicitor General. In the House of Commons to-day, on a motion for going into supply, Mr. Parnell moved that the coercion act had not been administered in accordance with the pledges, which the Minister had given when they in duced Parliament to suspend the constitu tion, and he declared that the action of the government In retard to coercion prevent ed any gratitude for the land bill. It was a well known fact, when he said, that but for the Land League the whole strength of the House of Commons would have been unavailing to force the land bill through the House of Lords. He thought the Irish people would be wise If they continued to rely upon their own exertions, which had procured them such an installment of just rights. Messrs. Lalor, Daly and others followed Mr. Parnell, the principal point made by all the speakers being that the power of arrest under the coercion act had been used to crtißh political agitation, and not against the ruffians whom the Chief Secretary for Ire land (Mr. Forster) denounced in hls speech introducing the coercion bill.

Barnes shot Gibbons through the body and Robinson eevered his jugular vein. The murderers escaped. Alphonse Choose, formerly of Quebec, but latterly residing in the United States, took a train to return to Quebec. His wife, who was very ill, died on the cars, and six miles further on his little child expired In his arms. The stricken man took his dead to Riviere du Loup for Interment. Hugh Brandt tied a fifty-pound rock about his neck and filled his pockets with stones and drowned himself In three and a half feet of water In the Mohawk,at Cohoes, N. Y.

The British ship Erin’s Isle, which arrived at San Francisco from Shields, England, on the 30th ult., had sixteen out of a crew of eighteen men sick of scurvy. One died, four remain sick on board, and the rest are convalescent. The disease was caused by bad and insufficient food, bad water and the absence of autl-scorbutics. Edward Sherman, aged twenty-seven years, an engineer In De Witt’s hub factory at Pond Eddy, N. Y.,was Instantly killed by the cars at that place the other evening. He had stepped out of the way of one train but directly In front of passenger train No. 8, the locomotive of which struck and hurled him many feet into the air aud against the rocky clfff at that point. The Emperor William granted to Mr. Andrew D. White a farewell audience at the Castle of Babelsberg. His Majesty was extremely kind aDd courteous, expressing the slncerest regard for President Garfield and stating that he watched the progress of the President’s case with the deepest in terest. He tendered his most cordial good wishes to the United States. Great preparations are making for a Land League Convention at Newcastle, on the 29rh inst., over which Mr. Justin McCarthy will preside.

Their deaths were attributed to diphtheria, but this action of the authorities would in dicate a suspicion that they were poisoned. Tbe New York Stock market. New York, August 17.—The stock mar-, ket opened firm and higher, owing to the more encouraging reports regarding the President’s condition, and in the early deal ings prices advanced to 2% per cent., the latter in Hannibal and St. Joseph. Tnis was followed by a decline of to per cent., the latter in Denver and Rio Grande. Be fore noon, however, speculation had again become strong, and quotations rose to 2 per cent., Bt.

During the afternoon the market became depressed, and prices continued to decline up to the close of business, the final sales being %to 7 per cent, lower than the best figures of the day, the latter for Denver and Rto Grande, St. Paul and Omaha preferred, Nashville and Chattanooga, Chicago, Bur lington and Quincy, Louisville an l Nash ville aud Metropolitan Central leading the decline. Sales aggregated 30,085 shares. Many German newspapers have reached a ripe old age. Of the 4.413 that are now in existence, 98 were born in the last century and a few in the cen tury before. One at Frankfort is 261 years old, one at Magdeburg 253, and one at Leipsic 207. Of papers whose ages average from 80 to §0 years there are 206, while those that average from 50 to 2i number 1,127. Permanence in newspaper existence in Germany is not, however, the general rule. Of the pa pers that were in circulation during the year 1880. 20 per cent, came into exist ence in that snine year, and their average life was not more than six months. Ex-Governor Bagiev, of Michigan, who died last left an estate valued at $600,000.

PANIC ON A LONG BRANCH STEAMER. Tbe Crowded Plymouth Rock Blows oat a Steam Fine—A Rnsb for Lite Preservers—Cowardice of male Pas*eager*-Women and Children Trampled-The Extent of Their Injuries Unknown. New York, August 17.— The steame r Plymouth Rock, on her morning trip to Long Branch, with ten or eleven hundred passengers, at 11:30 o’clock, when about twenty miles from the iron pier, burst her steam flue, knocking open the doors of the engine room, from which an Immense volume of steam hisslngly es caped. A scene of the utmost confusion and terror ensued, the passengers being madly panic stricken. In the struggle for life-preservers men were 6een to seize them even from women. For about half an hour there was a scene of dire confusion on the upper deck. In the cabin a struggling mass was wedged, the doors being blocked up, and to facilitate escape the windows were broken out by the officers of the boat, and the passengers passed through head first. As soon as the panic had somewhat subsided the band struck up, and this help ed to reassure the passengers and restore order. The tug Germania, about half an hour after the accident, went to the assistance of the Plymouth Rock and took her In tow. Before starting, however, the steamers Schuyler and City of Richmond also came up. The latter boat and the Germania towed the disabled steamboat some dis tance up the bay to smooth water, where her passengers were transferred to tbe City of Richmond and brought to this city. The Plymouth Rock was towed to her dock by the Germania. In the panic there were a number of women and children knocked down and trampled on, but to what extent they were injured has not been ascertained. GUITEAU’S CRIME DEFINED. An Ii dlaiiluti Who Hold* Him Guilty of High Treason. Indianapolis Sentinel. A person attempting-to kill a man who is President of the United States, accord ing to the Constitution of the United States, is not guilty of high treason; but a person assaulting a man with intent to kill because he is President of the United States, is considered a criminal guiily of high treason, even though it is not ex pressly declared in the Constitution of the United States. For high treason, according to its na ture and common acceptation, is an at tack directly against legitimate executive authority, threatening its very existence and attacking the fundamental organiza tion of the government. According to the Constitution of the United States, the executive power of the United States is vested in the person legitimately chosen as its President; therefore, an assault with intent to kill the President, because he is the President, is an attack on the executive power of the Govern mett of the United States itself, threat ening its fundamental organization, and consequently an act of high treason under the penalty of high treason, and punishable as such. The circums’ance that such an act is not explicitly mentioned in the Consti tution of the United States does not dis prove what we have said; because an act which by its very nature belongs to a certain crime is impliedly condemned by the class of crime to which it be longs. Consequently Guiteau declaring that he had made the assault on Garfield for no other reason than that he was President of the United States, is guilty of high treason and subject to its pen alty. Besides, the Government of the United States has a right to punish the attempt made by Guiteau with capital punish ment on the ground of self defense, in order to prevent in the most efficacious way the repetition of such a crime in future by another would be assassin. Such public foes have to be deterred by the severest punishment inflicted in the most terrible way. A St. Louis Seusation. A St. Louis letter to the New York World says: “A suit for SIO,OOO dam ages, filed Friday, drags into notoriety the Hazeltines and Paramores, families of high social standing. The suit is brought by John Amweg, a singer in the Ford Opera Company, performing at Uhrig’s Cave, the fashionable summer night resort. Amweg’s story is that be ing smiled upon from the parquette by Miss Nellie Hazelline, known at home and abroad as the belle of St. Louis, and whose name was linked with Samuel J. Tilden’s three or four years ago, he en tered upon a flirtation. He visited Miss Hazeltine at her aristocratic home, received notes and photographs, and then, by his own story, boasted of the conquest. Eirly this week Miss Hazel tine and her mother started for White Sulphur Springs. Amweg’s story reach ed the ears of Will Hazeltine, a brother, and Fred. Paramore, the suitor of the belle. They corraled (to use a Western ism) the opera singer in an upper cham ber, beat him badly with fists, canes and whips, and forced from him an order on his landlady for the notes and pictures, and then turned him loose, all of which indignities he makes public and asks damages. The youDg men are out in cards admitting the whipping, but de claring that Amweg’s flirtation was not with the belle, but with a pretty servant girl in the family named Nellie, who has had tbe last of the controversy by declar ing she never saw Amweg. The opera singer is of a good Philadelphia family, he claims, his father being a lawyer and his brother inspector of bridges on the Pennsylvania road. Paramore is a son of the President of the Texas and St. Louis Railroad, and is to receive SIOO,- 000 from his father upon his marriage to Miss Hazeltine.” Equivalent to a Chinese Wall.— To maintain the present Railway Com mission system is equivalent to building a Chinese wall about the State to keep out railroads and other improvement en terprises. Capital has as good a right to expect that the State will take control of it if put into cotton factories as in rail roads. It will feel that all that is needed is the howl of the demagogue to cause the Legislature to pass laws assuming for the State control of anj branch of enterprise. There is a point beyond which laws should not go. They should never place private fortunes under the control of the State. The right of a person to the control of his own prop erty is a sacred one and should never be interfered with by the Legislature. This is a good reason for opposition to the Railroad Commission law, and when taken in connection with the fact that competition, and not law, should regu late them, there would seem no ground left for the law to stand on. —Atlanta Post Appeal. The negro woman who murdered a little girl and boy near Washington says: “I was going along the path. It was not God Almighty, but it was the devil who put it in my head to kill them. I could not help killing them. I did not do it with the ax, nor the washboard,but with a piece of wood big as my arm, and about eighteen inpiiefi long. The children were running about the yard of the house. I struck the one with the long hair first, but I don’t know how many times I hit her. I saw the ax in tbe wood pile aftery steamships and sailing vessels running rrom this point to Apalachicola, St. Matks, Cedar Keys and Tampa Bay, but the construction of railways after the war to Savannah and other Atlantic ports at once deprived us of the cotton and other produce that for merly came here, and as a matter of course the people of Georgia and Florida ceased to purchase their supplies from us. Whether this large and most desira ble trade can be regained in part by the construction of the railway through West Florida depends largely upon where the interests of those who control the road lie, and upon the efforts that may be made by our mercbanls to compete with those of Savannah, Port Royal and Charleston, who now control it. With cheap freights down the Missis sippi and cheap rates by rail or steamer to Florida and Georgia, there is every reason why New Orleans should become once more what she once was—the grocery market of that whole section of the country, and the cotton market as well. The completion of the railway refer red to will open up to New Orleans the famed watering places of Florida, and New Orleans, with its varied attrac tions, will naturally become to the peo ple of Florida and Southern Georgia the favorite winter resort for business and pleasure. The editor of the Economist is san guine that the same powerful influences —the grain-growing interests of the West and Northwest—that gave us the jetties will be brought to bear to compel the digging of the Florida ship canal which will be a virtual extension of the Mississippi to the Atlantic Ocean. When we can go to the beautiful capi tal of Florida in less than a day there will be a rush of excursionists and sight seers for the Land of Flowers. A near sighted hand on the Kelsey threw a hawser over a pier head at Watch Hill the other day. And the pier head spoke up: “Blast yer eyes; I’ll give you leven second to take that choker oft me.” "Who the new reversions are ye?” asked the astounded deckhand. "You bumblety headed idiot,” explained the pier head, leaning windward and expec torating. "I’m from Norridge, gosbfblaat ye. Norwich News.

The New York Commercial Advertiser says there are six candidates for the Presidency in the present Cabinet. Id Boston, last week, 3,000 pounds of Georgia and Virginia wool sold at thir ty-two to thirty five cents per pound. Dean Stanley, the Chicago Inter Ocean says, was worried in his last days by let ters from Rtssa’e emissaries thieatening to blow up Westminster Abbey. One of the features of the Atlanta Cot ton Exhibition will be the manufacture of a suit of clothes from raw cotton in twenty four hours. The cotton will be picked, ginned, spun, dyed, woven, and made into a suit of clothes for Senator B.own m-ide of one day. Senator L-tuiar. of Mis-bsippi, is still suffering from illness and has been for bidden by his physicians from participat ing in the approaching canvass in that State. He will be a candidate for re election to the United States Senate by the Leeislatut to be chosen in Novem ber. The Boston Post says: “When Billy Mahone makes up his list of stump speakers, we shall look anxiously for the names of the Hon. Eternal Principles Dawes, the Hon. Wading Through Seas of Blood Bout well, the Hon. Anything to Get Votes Frye, and the Hon. Human Bondage Chandler. “Hiddenite,” the new gem found in North Carolina, is harder than emerald, more brilliant and of a similar color. Only one vein has been found, and that is only 3 to 2J inches wide and 2 feet long. The cut stones sell readily for SIOO per karat, and the largest yet found weighs 5f karats. It is announced from Paris that M. Ed mond de Lafayette finds himself unable by reason of his health, to attend the Yorktown Centennial. The family will, however, be represented by his neigh, bors, M. de Beauvoir and M. de Cour celles, who is well known in Washington as a former Secretary to the French Le gation there. The reports brought by tbe whaler just arrived at St. John’s from the Arctic Ocean make it tolerably certain that the Jeannette is all right and is on her way down through Lancaster Sound into Baf fin’s Bay. The past winter was very severe, as far as cold is concerned in the polar solitudes, but the great Atlantic basin is reported nearly clear of ice and affording easy passage for steamers. Ex-Treasurer Spinner declines to be a candidate for Congress in New York to fill the vacancy caused by tbe election of Hon. Warner Miller to tbe United States Senate. He is now residing at Jackson ville, Florida, and very sensibly con cludes that he is too old to launch out into politics again. He has already pass ed his three score years and ten, and pre fers a quiet life for the remainder of his days. Senator Sessions, one of the half] breeds who was engaged by the Conk ling party with an attempt at bribery during the recent Senatorial contest at Albany, does not appear to have suffered in the estimation of his constituents by the charge. At the Republican caucus at Fredonia, Saturday, delegates in favor of the renomination of Senator Sessions were eleett dby a vote of 20b to 77, and his nomination is conceded. The New York anti-adulteration law goes into effect September 1, and ar rangements are being made to see that us provisions are carried out. The law is very broad and makes the sale of oleomargarine for butter, of glucose for sugar, ciiiccory for coffee, etc., an of fense punishable by fine and imprison ment. It is only necessary to go before a Magistrate and enter a complaint, and the person guilty of adulterating food is at once brought to trial. The party of Chinese students who have started from this country for home are to be employed in tbe establishment of a telegraph line from Shanghai to Pe kin. They have recently been put to work studying telegraphy, and are rap idly acquiring a knowledge of that art Telegraphing in Chinese, by the by, is impossible, in consequence of the length of the Mongol alphabet, and English has to be used for that purpose. The young Chinamen recently studying at the New England college were sent to this coun try to acquire English so as to fit them for the telegraph business. Recent investigation respecting the chemical constituents of tobacco fumes, says the MaryUitul Medical Journal, con firm the olden view of the presence of nicotine. It has, however, been ascer tained that nicotine appears mostly in the form of salts having picoiine for their base. O.her substances of a similar composition are generated in the act of smoking, which seem to form UDder the influence of the varying quantity of water in the tobacco and its mode'of combustion. Thus the use of the pipe develops the highly diffusible and nar cotic pyridin, while cigar smoking gives rise to larger quantities of colidin. There exists only one remedy for the cure of chronic tobacco poisoning, but that is so prompt and efficacious that none other is needed. Unfortunately there exists also a ytry great and fre quently an insurmountable prejudice among smokers against its employment. It is the abstinence from tobacco. Professor Gamgee, he of the ref itera ting ship, in the course of his investiga tions on the effects of cold, has discov ered that cold has the power of pro ducing motion just as heat. Instead of raising water from its ordinary standard, 65 to 212 degrees, by which sb-am is produced, and by its expansion motion is given to machinery, he reverses the law, and takes it from M degrees to zero, thereby producing the same mo tion. He has so arranged the machinery as to respond to tae gradation of heat to cold, and gets a speed sufficient to move vessels or machinery of any kind lie calls it the “Zero Motor.” The govern ment directed its engineer to inspect the invention, and his report gives encour agement to the inventor. The requisite degree of cold is given with great rapidi ty by tbe use of ammonia in a gaseous form, going into the liquid state, so that the piston rod is drawn In instead of. as in beat, being pushed out.

Ingersoll, speakiug at Boston some years ago on the issues of the hour, urged the completion of a Southern through line to the Pacific, and summed up his argument therefor with the epigrammat ic prediction that it would banish “the conservatism of regret and the P re 3' udice born ol isolation.” Such was the estimate that the North had long formed of the South, and it is but recently that it has learned that the "conservatism of regret’ vanished when the blessing of self government was again vouchsafed her. If that distrust, which the people of the South could not but entertain of the average Northerner, who was wont to come among them in ante bellum days, can bo strictly termed prejudice, his tory is eloquent in its justification. That suspicion or prejudice, however, was not born of isolation. The South was never isolated voluntarily. No sec tion of the republic played a grander part in its conception and development than did the South, and, though she sought to build one freer, she would gladly bave stood by it could she have trusted the men who threatened to defeat the purposes of its founders. The isolation of war was a necessity, which the results of the strug gle alone established aod the wisdom of which they clearly vindicated. And the isolation that followed it, unparalleled in history—exile at home —compared with which the storied misery of Siberia was happiness, that was not of her choice. Of it prejudice could not but be born, and the marvel is that it was not invinci ble. What wonder that it begot the con servatism of regret? But hate spent its force. Once more law reigned, and the South, restored to the blessings of freedom, went back, took up the broken thread, and invites the world to help her make green her waste places and achieve the future that confronts her. The sacrifice of her valor and the ex ample of her endurance were not in vain, and she stands to-day stronger in her capacity and grander in her aims than at the height of her splendid past. Year by year she reaches forward, and though the tide of support is but be ginning to drift toward her, it'will ere long swell in volume. Great as were the wrongs she suffered at the hands of those she trusted, they were hardly more baneful than th* false color ing of her social life and the underesti mates of her resources her oppressors gave the world. Year by year both are being better understood. The possibilities of the cotton field are far more alluring than those of the crowded cities of the North, and the genial clime of the Sunland is more inviting than the win try prairies of the Northwest. Northern speculation sees the blindness of its folly and is lookine Southward with assur ance. There are those among us that fear we are going but slowly, and who fain would hurry the march. There are others who regard every adventurer as a benefactor, and who would surrender solidity for ex periment. These are of no more service in the march of progress than the lag gard, who falls behind. The one must be taught his interest, and the other must be saved from or compensated for bis folly. Northern economists assign this and that cause for the slow supply of the South’s need, an honest, thrifty and independent im migration. The primary cause, their own false teachings, they lose sight of. As the South becomes known her growth will progress. There are those in Europe who will seek the West, for reasons of kinship and choice, but there are thousands who will prefer the South for its wondrous i resources and its resemblance to their native land. The efforts to attract such will not be relaxed, and the best teachers of our resources are our industry and enterprise. We long* and for freedom, we resolved to obtain it,and we now possess it. We bave resolved to prosper,and we shall prosper if we sustain our courage and are true to our aims. We have every thing to make us great. Our fields, our mines, our rivers and our harbors invite us to the task, and the factors in its achievement are unbending purpose and unceasing work. A Boisterous Convention. Tbe Irish convention at Chicago has been certainly boisterous, and has used up a multitude of chairmen. On the first day the Hon. W. J. Hynes presided, and he held the reins until Friday. On that day he threw up the position, giving as his reason the impossibility of keeping up the respect naturally due to the chair. The Rev. Mr. Betts assumed the vacant office then, and tried his best to bave a little business transacted, but the differ ences between the Eastern and Western delegates were too serious to be easily settled, and after one day’s trial of the office the latter gentleman also resigned. On Monday Edward O'Meara Condon volunteered his services in allaying tbe discord, and was at once seized on and appointed to guide the delegates. Three hours of the chairmanship of such a body, however, as he tersely put it, was all that he wanted, and at the expiration of that time be too left the assembly without a head. Tuesday there was no presiding officer, and the convention was conse quently at a dead lock. The Wolfe Tone Society Convention, another Irish patri otic association, was also in session at tbe Palmer House at the same time, but found it equally impossible to organize, and after wrangling for several days, finally agreed on adjourning Tuesday, without coming to any permanent or ganization. Immigration and Manufactures, At an immigration convention held at Jackson, Tenn., last week, a report was adopted which provides for an organiza tion known as the West Tennessee Im migration and Manufacturing Associa tion, to be chartered as a stock company, with a central organization at Jackson and branch organizations in each county, the Presidents of the branch organiza tions, with the officers of the central or ganization, constituting the executive committee. United States Senator Howell E. Jackson delivered an address which attracted considerable attention. He took the ground that what is needed is not so much immigration as manufacto ries; that tbe farming population could be decreased and the manufacturing class in Tennessee increased, with benefit to both; that the boys and girls of Tennes see should be taught useful occupations, and that labor is honorable and not a dis grace. Senator Jackson made tbe point that no place po>sessing the ability to manufacture should make commerce of its taw material; that such a policy was unwise in tbe extreme. The good points made by Senator Jackson have a wider application than made by the Senator, One hundred and four mm own 10,- 439 432 acres of land in the British Lies. The Duke of Sutherland controls 1,209,- 546 acres. Two thousand one hundred and fourteen of Queen Victoria's sub jects control over 36.000,000 acres. Property Values in the South. In 1852 the real and personal property assessed in the Southern States aggre gated $2,489,000,000, which was 41 per cent, of the total for the whole country, and as muck as had the New England and Middle States combined. It is very true that these figures do not show the relative absolute wealth of the various sections, but they approximate it. The census of 1860 showed that this property valuation in the South had grown to $4,861,000,000, or about 100 per cent., and the proportion of 40 per cent, to the entire assessment of the country was maintained. During that decade, the New England States had added to their tax rolls only $480,000,- 000,and the Middle States $1,180,000,000, the one being an increase of 48 and the other of 70 per cent. Though the growth of property values in the Western States for that period was very great in percentage, it was less than in the South by $578,000,000. The decade ending in 1870, which em braced the war period, entirely changed the relative position of the sections. Southern property had shrunk to $2,433,- 000.000, or less than it was in 1852. A1 lowing something for improvement in values between the close of hostilities and the date at which that census was taken, the shrinkage of taxable values in this section brought about by tbe war could not have been less than $3,000,- 000 000—a sum greater than the entire debt contracted by the Federal Govern ment dutiDg the conflict. If we esti mate the slave property at $1,000,000, 000,which is a liberal figure, it embraced only one third the loss in values. During that decade, however, the Western States valuations had grown 50 per cent., reaching $4,026,000,000, and the New England and Middle States had advanced with greater strides. Coming down to 1880 we find the figures of valuation in the Southern States had dropped down to $2,226,000,- 000, while the West added another bil lion and a half and the Middle States nearly a billion, the comparison stand ing as follows: Section. 1870. 1880. New England States 2.717,582,801 S 2,499,113,899 Middle States.... 4,393.728,319 5.316,699.137 Southern States. 2.43 :.253,840 2 226,141,331 Western States. 4,026,363,368 5,532,159,699 Pacific States and Territories 327.181,551 683,946,984 Total 813,898,096,899 $16,258,064,100 While this showing may seem at first view rather discouraging, a little reflec tion, remarks the New Orleans Picayune, will suggest that the future is likely to wituess the greater appreciation in Southern property. There is certainly no good reason why property values in the South should be less to-day than in 1860. Omittiog slaves, the Southern tax rolls before the war aggreegated $3 BGI,- 000,000, while now it is $1,635,000,000 less than that. The population, agricultural productions and manu facturing interests have grown enormously. In all that goes to create property values the South is certainly far ahead of what she was in 1860. The land is as productive, and there are acre hands to cultivate it. Buildings, improvements and implements are both more numerous and more costly than twenty years ago, and the political future is more settled. Confidence, however, has been lacking, and that is nNE of the beet and most satisfactory features of the MARSHALL HOUSE is its comforta t ble rooms and the uniform excellence of its table at all seasons of the year.

HE ADACHE, INTER MIT TENT FEVER, GENERAL EEBILITY, BILIOUS FEVER, LASSITUDE, TYPHOID FEVER, NAUSEA, are the Painful Offsprings of Malaria! And have their origin in a disordered Liver, which, if not regulated in time, great suffer ing, wretchedness and death will ensue. Sinmioiis Liver Regulator (PURELY VEGETABLE) Is absolutely certain in its remedial effects, and acts more promptly in curing all forms of Malarial diseases than calomel or quinine, without any of the injurious consequences which follow their use. If taken occasionally by persons exposed to Malaria it will expel the Poissn and protect them from attack. See that you get the Genuine in White Wrapper, with red Z, prepared only by J. H. ZEILIN CO.

Her general busi ness. which has heretofore languished in the summer months, has continued through the entire ye-r. Nearly 1400,000 bales of cotton, have been reedved at this part dur ing the sea-on just closed, and we have every reason to exp* ct that these figures will be increased during the coming year to over 1,000,000. A like targe increase in receipts has taken place in naval stores, rice and timber, and other principal pro- I ducts. Tcts improvement iu trade has affected all Interests, and our merchants, mechanics, and business men generally, have been benefited by it. With such a retrospect we may confidently predict a prosperous fail and winter trade. The annual review of the markets for the commercl *1 year will be issued on Satur day, September 3d, and we propose to make this edition a special feature, the same as was done las year, and which met with such a decided support from our enterprising merchants. The review will be presented In the form of a mammoth eight-page sheet, and in size and make up will surpass any thing of the kind which has ever been pub lished ia the cotton growing States. It will comprise a summary of the business of the city during the previous twelve months, including its mer cantile interests in all their various branches, and also a re sume of Its shipping and com mercial news for that period. This istue of the Morning **ews will be one which every citizen, whether a business man or no', wlil take pride ia sending abroad as an evidence of the prosperity of his city and section In which be lives, and will give to those who have never before examined into the matter a proper appreciation of Savannah’s impor tance as the commercial emporium of the two most progressive States la the Southern section of the American Union. The Trade Issue of the Morning News, In addition to being seat to all the daily subscribers by carrier and mail, will be mailed to every subscriber to the Tbi Wezfli News, the Weekly News and the Southern Fortner'* Motithhj, which, with the copies sent out to addresses furnished us by our advertisers, will give it an aggre gate circulation of ’20,000 to 25,000 copies among 100,000 people who lock to the Morning News for Information oa ail sub jects, and who represent the purchasing interest of their localities. This edition will thus find its way into every household in the immense area of country directly tributary to Savannah, and at a time when the people have means to purchase and are buying supplies for the fall and winter, and when an advertis- rnent will have the effect of a direct communica tion from the merchant to the buyer. The Trade EH:ion can be had at scents per single copy, or #3 50 per IGO. Advertisements prepartd and estimates furnished on application at Morning News counting room. Rates as usual. Tbe Eulerlaiuuieut To-night Avery attractive programme has been arranged for the entertainment to be given this evening by the Youths’ Historical So ciety at their hall, Masonic Temple, aud it promises to be the best of the series, and that is saying a great deal. The openiLg will be a piano solo by Mr. Henry Gutman, and the programme will embrace a cittern solo by Mr. R-isenweig, accompanied with vocal seieetioos, a recitation by a young lady of Savannah, duet on ci'hern by Messrs. Ruckert and Fox, ricitation by Albert Kobn, bone solo by Master Nathans, and a humorous rectiallon by Mr. Jacob Straus. These who would enjoy a charming enter tainment wiil assuredly be present. A Threatened Storm. Throughout yesterday the storru signal was displayed from the Signal Service ob servatory .corner of Bay and Drayton streets, caused by a hurricane having started iu the Gulf of Mexito, the track of which was not definitely known, though it was thought Key West was the only poiut in this section that would be touched. The wind was blowing there yesterday with tbe v-locity of forty miies per hd the system of ob servation and reports prescribed will be car ried into Immediate execution by all con cerned. Stations for Observations. —The sta tions are generally located on the railroad lines, where the observations of tempera ture and rainfall will be made and sent di rect to sub-centres, as described below by railroad wires. Di-trict. —Tbe cotton growing region of the United States Is divided into districts. These have been formed with reference to existing co-operating railroad lines, to se cure the best telegraphic facilities, and ar ranged to prevent the overlapping of-ter ritory, which would produce errors iu the preparation of mean temperatures and aver age rainfall. The districts embrace the territory adja cent to the more important cities where Signal Service stations are located. Each has a centre for the concentration of re ports, which will be known and reported as a sub-centre, the name of which will be used to designate the district. Each centre includes a number of stations. Divisions. —Several districts will be grouped together into one division, and the centre of each division will be known and reported as a main-centre. The name of this main-centre will be used to desiginate the division. Every main-centre Is also a sub centre, and will do all the work pre scribed for sub centres. The following embraces the stations within thel.Savannah district and on what railroads Savannah—*Cedar Keys, *Fernandina, Waldo, Atlantic, Gulf and West India Transportation Company’s Railroad; Live Oak, Fla., Balnbridge, Ga., Tebeauville, Ga., Jesup, Ga., Albany, Ga., Savannah, Florida and Western Railway; Millen, Ga., Davisboro, Ga., Macon, Ga., Griffin, Ga.. Columbus, Ga., Eufaula, Ala Central Railroad of Georgia. Observations. Observations will be made, by the persons designated by the railroad authorities, at every station, for rainfall, maximum and intuimum tempera tures, direction of the wind and state of the wtaiher, at 6 o’clock p. m., local time. In accordance with the accompanying Instruc tion*, No. Similar observations will be made by the Signal Service Observers at all sub centres and main centres. Concentration of Reports. —The rain fall and maximum aiid minimum tempera tures will be enciphered at the stations (see Instructions No. 92)£) and sent by telegraph to the eub’centres ot the districts to which the stations belong. At the sub-centres, the Bignal Service observers, having collected all the reports from the stations of their dis tricts. so far as possible, will make up the average rainfall, average maximum tempe rature, and average minimum temperature for the districts. These will then be enci phered (see page 7 of cipher book and in structions No. 92>$) and sent by special mes sage to the main centre of their division. Maximum aud minimum temperatures must be found separately by applying this rule. Dissemination of Reports At each maiu-centre, the Sigual Service ob server having collected reports from the sub-centres of his division, will send them by special message to the other main-centres. He will receive from the other main-centres reports collected by each, which reports he will send by special message to each sub-centre of bis divieton. He will send In this mes-age reports from all sub-centres of his division except in each instance the repoit of that particular centre to which the message Is sent, Tbe reports thus received at sub-centre* wil! be duly filed and preserved as office records, after the preparation of the bulle tin Expense All telegraphing from railroad stainm* to sub centres will be without ex pense to the United States; that between sub centres aud main-centres, at its ex pense. These reports are concentrated at Cedar Keys and telegraphed to Savannah. The Haiti and Hair* on the Savannah, Florida ar.d Weatern Railway— The People Satisfied. The following from t.be Thomasville Enterprise in reference to Circular No. 17 from the Railroad Commission, already published in the Morning News, increas ing the maximum rate* for all distances on cotton on 6aid railway thirty per cent, above the standard tariff and on class goods for distances over one hundred mile* twenty five per cent, above the standard tariff, will be read with interest: “The Railroad Commission, In conformity with their oft repeated assertion, that they intended giving to each and every road in the State, a paying rate, have advnced the rates on the Savannah, Florida and Wetern s per circular No 17, which appears below. This action of the Commission, while It Is doubtless satisfactory to the road, will re ceive the endorsement of the people along the line. After a thorough investigation the Commission conclude that this new rate will pay running expenses, keep up the road and pay a fair dividend on tbe investment. This 1* just what the road should have, and It ia just what the patrons of the road have been willing all along for it to have. They do not want Mr. Plant to run his road at a loss. They know be must make something in order to run It successfully. And they are largely interested in it being run suc cessfully. In fact, in this respect, the In terest of the road and people are Identical, We congratulate Col. lialnes on getting a satisfactory rate, and the Commission op having convinced the Savannah, Florida and Western people that tbeir interests are safe In the hands of the body. Under the new rate cotton will be shipped from this point to Sivannah at fifty five cents per hundred. “Bince writing the above we have received the following dispatch: ‘Atlanta. Ga., August 11, 1881. ‘Captain John Triplett: Advance allowed by Commissioners i6 only 30 per cent, on their regular standard tariff, which gives us forty eight cents at Thomasville instead of forty three cents on cotton. ‘U. M. llaines, G. M.’ “We fell into the very natural error of confounding the 'standard rates’ with the 6Ubsi quent rate allowing the road 43 cents from Thomasville. The rate, as It now stands, is 48 cents. Jf this rate Is not re munerative, or does not prove so, we ars sure that the Commission will increase it. As stated above, tbe patrons of the road are perfectly willing for it to have a fair paying rate. They are, In all fairness and equity, entitled to this.” Taken 111 on tbe Street. Yesterday afternoon, about half past six o’clock, a white man was found sitting In tbe doorway of a house on Bay street, near Whitaker, completely prostrated aud with a high fever, He was slightly delirious, and, by the direction of the Health Officer, who cbanced to be passing while Policeman Dleg nan was endeavoring to get the poor fellow on bis feet, a wagon was procured and be was conveyed to the hospital. It appears that he had been In that institution for some time aud was discharged, but bad not, it seems, entirely recovered. Important Notice. Elsewhere will be found a notice from Dr. J. T. MacFarland !n reference to parties visiting the quarantine station upon any pretext whatever, or holding communica tion with any vessel detained In quarantine without written permission of the Health Officer. The determination is to prosecute to the extent of the law all who violate these regulations. Noilpc to tbe Public. Office Health Officer, I Savannau, August 16, 1881. j From and after this date, any person or persons going to the quarantine station upon business, or pretext, or holding com munication with any vessel while detained In quarantine, without the written permis sion of the Health Officer, will be prosecut ed to the extent of the law.

OUR RIVER IMPBOVEIHENT9. Frog re a* el the tVork—Tbe Report ot Colouel Freuiout, Assistant East* neer. We have tbe opportunity of presenting this morning a copy of the report made by Colonel S. L. Fremont, Assistant Engineer, to’Major General Q. A. Glllmore, Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers, noting the progress of Improvements In the Savannah river for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1881. The report lets forth the following, and will, we are sure, have careful perusal from all who appreciate the importance of this work to Savannah: Improvements have been made at the fol ing places: I. At the Cross Tides river. 2 At tbe channels along the old jetty and King’s Island. 3 At the shoals at Garden Bank. 4. At the new ship channel known as “The Wrecks.” 5. At the channel at the obstructions near Elba Island. 6. At the submerged dam iu South Chan nel. 7. At Screven’s Point. 8. At Fig Island. 9. At the Oyster Bed shoal near Red Lights. 10. AtTybee Knowl and St. Michael’s Channel. 11. At the dry dock In St. Augustine creek. the submerged dam at the cross tides. At the close of the last fiscal year the contractor for this work had completed if, with the exception of placing 244.95 cubic yards of rip rap stone of the superstruc tivo This remnant was put In place during the months of July, August aud November, the last being laid on the 13*.h of November, which completed the work. This dam has withstood the most thorough freshet tests that have been known in the Savannah river in many years, and without injury. The only Injurious effect of this series of freshets has been In eating away a small portion of the Argyle Island shore, at the end of the dam. This was caused by the eddying of the water produced by the great volume passing through the open ing (or low place left in the wake) for the purposes of navtga'ion, and the consequent strong current. This erosion has now been secured by a msttress of brush one foot in thickness, 26 feet iu width and 155 feet long, loaded with one half a cubic yard of stone to each lineal foot in length of mat. This opening should now be closed, or the dam raised up to the general level, and the passage of small vessels and flats made near the other eod of the dam, where the depth of the river above and below is much less and the force of the current correspondingly weak. When this dam is raised up to the low water line—as 1 think it should be at an early day —there will be no want of water in front, of the city of Savannah for a water way and anchorage eight hundred feet in width, as desired by the business men of the city, who look forward to Its necessity within a rea sonably short time. The new channel below the city south of the “Wreck” shoal has now asssumed such proportions, and the old channel has been so well closed up, that no danger need be apprehended from a large increase of the volume of water in front river. This dam is no doubt the key to all improvements of the water wav above Fort Jackson. THE CHANNEL AT KINQ’B ISLAND AND OLD JETTY. This channel, as shown by the soundings heretofore transmitted, has not maintained its originally dredged depth along the old Jetty, while that portion of it connecting with the opening that was made through the old jetty has increased in depth and width. Dredging done in both brai ches of this -channel since July Ist, 1880, amounts to 24,840 cubic yards. The work was com menced on the 16th of October and com pleted on the 3d day of December, 1880 I think another crib seventy 70 feetln length should be removed from the old jetty, giv ing a water way through that structure of 140 feet In width. The channel’s depth ar,d wtdtb from King’s Island to the Central Railroad wharves have increased all the way. THE SHOAL AT GARDEN BANK*. The channel across this shoal has been widened aaventy five feet, giving with the dredging done during the last fiscal year a channel width of 150 feet, with a low water depth of sixteen feet, which has greatly re lleved the difficulties of navigation at that place. The amount of material removed from this shoal was 18,813 cubic yards. It is be lieved that the work of cutting away the salient point of Fig Island, and deepening the water In its front, will have a beneficial effect in removing this shoal. THE SHIP CHANNEL AT THE W RECKS SHOAL. The United States steamer Henry Burden was employed in this channel in July and August, 1880, and removed 12,019 cubic yards of matter therefrom. This channel has maintained Us full depth with the exception of a small shoal formed at the mouth of a rice field creek, which seems to cauae a perpetual deposit, and the only remedy so far is annual dredging. The creek must have an outlet itlo the rivtr, and its sedimentary character requires in tbe channel a greater volume anu conse quent increased velocity of water to sweep It away. THE CHANNEL AT THE OBSTRUCTIONS. This channel 1* near the head of Eiba I*land where the river I* divided into the North and South channels,and Is obstructed by a sand shoal formed at the slack water point of divergence of the two channels. It will continue to be so formed until some work Is erected 10 aid the current In the Northern channel in destroying any ten dency to deposit sand there. The quantity of material removed from this shoal by the United States steamer Henry Burden, In August and September, was 13,276 cubic yards. THE SUBMERGED DAM IN SOUTH CHANNEL. This dam was commenced during tbe last fiscal year by the contractor, K. C. McKay, of Philadelphia, and 425 lineal feet of apron dam was laid, in December of tbe preseut year, his attorney, R. G. Ross, recommenced the work and continued It. In a slow and feeble manner until April 13th, when it was wholly suspended. The entire apron course from high water to high water, was com pleted in March, giving an aggregate length of dam of 1,461 feet. The mats for a second course 128 feet in length were laid, and from that point (602 feet from high water on the southern shore), the double mats (second and third course combined) were commenced, and 215 lineal feet laid. This leaves about 560 feet of the double mat to be laid to complete the dam according to the original design—less than a week’s work for a euitable force. This dam consists of an apron course of logs 12 lDche9 In diameter and 24 feet In laugtb, laid parallel with the direction of the current, and fastened together by binders, drift-bolted to the logs and covered with a course of stone six inches in thick ness. Upon this apron course a sand course of similar construction, only fourteen feet in width, 1* laid, and upon this a third course 10 feet in width is placed. For convenience in placing them, and to secure greater stability in the dam, after passing beyond a low water depth of 6 feet, the second and third courses arc combined aud the log* of both courses are fastened together with drift bolts, and all the stone of both is ulaced on the top of the two courses. This dam stands the current (here very strong) perfectly, and is having the de sired effect upon the currents so la{ as it has baeu completed. The design in locating this dam was to obstruct as little as possible the flood tide flow up the south channel; and to deflect as much of the last quarter of the ebb tide as could be done Into the north channel to aid in the scour of that channel, at the same time the dam was not to be raised so high as to Impede th£ passage of the lejand steam er*, etc. When theee conditions have been fully compiled with, It Is believed the dam will be found very efficient as an aid to the Improvement of the northern channel. SCREVEN’S POINT. At this place the shore line has been straightened by cutting away about one hundred feet In width at the widest point., and extending along the shore about 1,5(40 feet. By doing this an easy turn in the channel and bulkhead or wharf line has been effected. The total amount of mate rial removed from this point is 32,505 cubic yarda. Five thousand yards more wil], in a short time, be removed to complete this line. Fio island. At this point about three and a third acres of land were condemned by a jury for the public use iu making improvements, and the damages assessed at one thousand dol lars. All the land thus condemned has been cut away, the shore line reformed, the water way widened more than 150 feet, and a ten foot chaunel carried up to the shore line along tbe eutlre front, and the current is eo strong that it will, I doubt not, maintain Its full depth along that shore. The whole amount of material removed in making this Improvement Is 118,229 cubic yarda—exceeding somewhat the allot ment for this work —but it was found impossible to accomplish the desired object viz: a good line, without removing all thati has been done. Dredging at oyster bed smoal. This was undertaken as soon as the stormy season of winter and spring was considered over, and though due diligenee has been used with the managers of tbe old dredge, yet the work is not half completed. The bottoms of two vessels have been found exactly where tbe channel formerly existed, and though a few pieces (together with this sand and like material found around tbem) have been removed, yet until the contractor has taken out the fragment* of the wrecks (which he la required to do), all our dredging in the vicinity amounts to but temporary relief. Under the contract, and your orders, J shall Insist upon the full and complete re moval of the fragments of tbe wrecks. TTBBB KNOLL AND ST. XICHAKL’S CHANNEL. At this part of the outer channel the steamer Henry Burden was employed for several weeks during the winter In deepen ing the water. Considerable Improvement was made, some of which remains, while portions have shoaled up, and give some trouble to passing vessels of large draught. Along the northern edge of t his channel, across a portion of Caltbogue Bound, in my judgment, a Jetty or training wall of timber and stone should be placed, and it should be undertaken with aB little delay as possi ble. On the accompanying sketch of the river I have shown Its location. THE REMOVAL OF THE DRT DOCK OBSTRUC TION IN ST. AUGUSTINE CREEK. The old dry clock that was suuk during the late civil war—at the confluence of Thunderbolt river with Bt. Augustine creek —has been removed under a contract with Mr. John G. Smith, of Charleston, 8. C., who completed the work early in Septem ber. Everything was removed to a low water depth of ten feet. No obstruction above that depth now exists, though for a short time after the removal of the blown up frag ments of this wreck, some live oak tree tops, said to have been sunk alongside, seemed to offer some obstacles to passing Vessels. They have since disappeared, and no complaint has been received from per sons navigating these waters. DREDGING. The dredging by the United States suction dredge Henry Burden at the wreck’s chan nel was 12 019 cubic yards. At the obstruc tions 13,276 cubic yards. At the upper and lower 11 its 10,350 cubic yards, and at Tybee Knoll 23,771 cubic yards. Total 59,416 cubic yards. Work was suspended on January 22, 1881, and the dredge sent to Charleston. Under a contract with the American Dredging Company 203,668 cubic yards of material have been removed from the Sa vannah river and harbor, in addition to 5,136 cubic yards of a previous contract. This gives a total amount of material removed during the fiscal year, by dredging, of 268,- 220 cubic yards. WIDENING THE HARBOR. The amount of land damages on Hutchin son’s Island has not yet been determined, but it has been reduced to the actual cost of a change of the Improvements made upon the land to be cut away. The city has, I learn, agreed to supply an equal amount of land in the rear to parties whose land will be taken for the improvement. I believe that seventv-flve thousand dollars will be ample to make all the changes of mills, wharves, marine railways, etc. CONCLUSION. In concluding this annual report—proba bly the last one of this work I shall ever make to you—l desire to invite your atten tion to the somewhat sudden, but very large present and prospective increase of the commercial business importance of the port of Savannah. I have in sundry previous communica tions upon this subject stated in detail the extensive railway connections and combi nations by which it seems beyond a doubt that Savannah Is to be the centre of a sys tem of transportation, both by land and water, and of transhipment, of a vast amount of the products of tne Great West to for eign as well as domestic points, and in a short time to become a large importing port for the same great Western markets of this country. If there were any doubts upon this subject they would all be removed by the well known aid extraordinary efforts that are now being put forth by the able head of the railway and steamship management here to increase the number of steamships and add to ihe railway facilities, in connection there with at Bavannab, such as wharves and docks, grain elevators and the like. 1 enclose a statement from the Collector of Customs of the port, giving the commer cial and statistical Information needed with this report. The project and estimate for the further improvement of the Savannah river will be submitted, as directed, jointly with Captain Green. A Word to Our Merchant*.
