that their outer ends, on the crest of the
bar, shall be half milo apart. The outer
ends of the two jctties will rest respectively
upon tho 'ohoals lying to tho Northward and
Southward Of the North channel, that being
tho middle of tho North group of three
channels. The North jotty, near the shore,
is curved to radius of one and half

direction Southeast. The South iotty is
1850 feet long. The shore end is curved
to radius of three niles for about half its
length. The balf next to tho sea is nearly
straight. The object is to maintain tho bar
in its present general location.
Gen. Humphreys says: ri concur in tho
views Of the board that the channel over
the bar can bo improved to probable depth
OF tWanty.onc feet at mean low wator by
the uso of jettics submerged in whole or in
part, and by q mode of construction very
gradual in its progress, which will admit of
suoh modification in the length and height
OF the jettios as experience will dictate.
further concur that tho projoot adopted
should, to the least possible degree, disturb
'uo p!eseu6 Regimen OF lnuux anu cH1ux
over the bar"
The estimated cost of the work was
$1,000, ,O0C, but Gen. Gilmore has ascer-
tanned that stone and other material can be
obtained at lower cost than was expected,
and he has reduced the estimate to 81 ,3OO,-'
600. One.fourth Of this sum will enable
the work to have fair start, and the $780,.
600 appropriated by tho Senate committee,
although less than was asked for, will lay
the foundations of one Of tho jotties, and
ensure the ultimate completion of tho work.
Too much praise cannot be given to Gen.
Gilmore and his officers for the thorough
ness and lueidity of, his report, which has
put tho project in such a shape as to com
mand the approval Of the chief of engineers
and of the Senate committee on commerce.

Gordon, Weed asked that the Supreme
Court might " hold on to the electoral
votes" because there might be q lit
tie delay " and then at night Pelton
and his friend and Weed all returned
to New York.
The fact that it was Colonel PeltOn
who made that journey to Baltimore
at such busy and critical time, in
compliance with Weeds request
that he would "briHg the stuff
himself if prudent" is a most impOT-
tant discovery. PeltOn assuredIy would
not have gone there just to tell Weed
that his demand for money could not
be granted. If PeltOn GOGs the sGfe
man GUhO met Weed Gt BGrnun1'S HO-
tel, PeLtOn took NTH him $50, 600 to bug
the South Carolina Returning Board.
That is morally certain. Where did
he get it? Here is the act of bribery
brought home, not to secret agents,
and clerks, and secretaries, and anna
teur negotiatoTs, but to some person or
some organization in the Democratic
party high enough to command
great sum of money and to assume a
tremendous responsibility. Democrats
have tried to meet the disgrace of the
cipher disclosures by saying: Lob,
Marble was q fool; throw him over
hoard. COyle and WOolley and Weed
were politicians of a low grade,
whose transactions were not ap-
proved by their employers;
throw them overheard, Pelton was
q presuming and scheming rascal;
throw him overheard too" But for
this new development of the plot
there must be a different sort of
answer. They can not throw over
hoard q man with $50 600 in his
pocket. Who supplied him with that
big purse? Who sent him to Balti-
more to deliver it to the bribe>broker?
Whose hand invisibly moved this
weak and insignificant young man,
and dispatched him with "three
parcels, one Of sos 900, one OF SIC. 900,
and one of $5,O00," to buy the Presi-
dency of the United States? Until a
serious attempt to find the answer to
these questions is made by the party
for whose benefit the crime was at.
tempted, it is upon the whole party
that the crushing weight of shame
must rest.

ANOTHER DISCOVERY.

The New York Tribune, since its
terrible exposures of the cipher
telegram business, continues to make
discoveries. It's latest is explained
in the following editorial:
Who went to Baltimore to carry to
Smith Weed the money for the pur-
chase of the South Carolina Returning
Board? On the 18th OF November,
1876, Weed telegraphed from Column
biR to Henry Havemey er-olherWise
Colonel William T. PeltOn:
Majority of Board have been se>
cured Cost is eighty thousand, to be
sent as follows: One parcel OF sixty
five thousand dollars, one of tee thou
sand, and one of five thousand all to
be five hundred or one thousand bills :;
notes to be deposited as parties accept,
and given up upon vote OF South
Carolina being given to Tilden's
friends. The three packs should be
sent without inscription and tonight,
unless you receive telegram from me
cOuntermandiDg. For Gods sake let
il go! Have cash ready to reach Bal
timore Sunday night"
Later, on the same day, he tele-
Baltimore. Meet me yourself if
prudent" And lastly, just before
starting, having apparently received
favorable reply TO his request that
"safe man" should "bring stuff" to
Baltimore, he wired this message:
Looks well now. You must have
the Copenhagen at Barnum's, in Bal
timorer early Monday morning. L go
at 10 tonight"
The Tribune has already shown how
Smith NJ. Weed, leaving Columbia on
Saturday night, Nov. Is, did arrive at
Barnum's Hotel in Baltimore early
Monday morning, the Goth, registering
there by his true name. 1t was also
shown, at the time of the publication
Of the dispatches, that there was every
reason to believe that the safe man ["
met him with 1.-THE stuff" according
to appointment, and that the failure
Of the scheme was attributable to
other causes than neglect of the New
YOrY parties to put up the money.
We have taken pains to verify GER
tain Information which reached US
two weeks ago respecting this ''safe
man." The chain of evidence is now
complete. The register of the Mount
Vernon Hotel, a small and quiet house
in Baltimore, where q person of re-
firing disposition might be safe from
curious eyes, shows among the arriv-
ais early on Monday morning, No
vember Goth, William Il. Pelton, of
New York. At 10 o'clock Mr.. Pelton,
with a friend who had accompanied
him from this city, took a carriage.
Early in the day the friend was seen
with Mr.. Smith Weed at Barnum's
Hotel. 1t was probably after this in
terview-to which it would not be
rash to assume that Mr.. Pelton also
was q party-that Smith Weed sent
his first cipher dispatch to Columbia:
BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.-General J.
b. Gordon, Columbia: Matters ar
ranged by Returning Board agent. In
form Haskell, and telegraph news.

QUARANTINE RAISED.


All quarantine regulations have
been removed at the various towns
and villages on the line of the Ken
nesaw and Great Southern Line,
the routes have been re-opened for
travel and freights as usual, sleep
ing cars run through daily from
Washington and Lynchburg to New
Orleans and Memphis. The Mem
phis sleeper passes Knoxville on the
day train and the New Orleans
sleeper at night. The business of
this great line has been seriously
interrupted for some time, and no
class of business has suffered more
from the scourge in the South than
the railroads. Notwithstanding this
interruption of their business, they
have done all in their power, not
only to accommodate the public gen.
orally, but also to relieve distress
in the sorely afflicted communities.
Their iberality has been boundless
and We trust they may have their
reward in large increase of bust
ness. This is one of the most pop~
ular through routes in the country,
and deserves the consideration of a
travelling public, as we'll as those
having freight shipments.
