Dissraeefu: street scenes.

The streets yesterday were disgraced by
the presence of an unusually large number
OF unfortunates who drink too freely
of ''the flowing bowl" on Sunday, and in
various parts Of the city could be seen men
who were unable to navigate with dignity.
Whilst these parties may have not been
guilty Of disorder or Of disturbing the peace,
yet it cannot be denied that such sights are,
on the Sabbath day especially rather dif-
creditable to the good fame OF the city. L.
was evident that the bibulOUsly inclined had
no difficulty in indulging their sppetites
and If they failed to find an ODen front door
of a saloon, could readily strike the conve-
nient back gate. In the eastern section Of
the city crowds of half soaked colOred men
could be seen gathered on the cor
ners conveniently near to groggeries
where liquor could be obtained. 1t
would seem from this that the liberal con-
stTuctiOn OF the ordinance relating to the
suppression OF the liquor traffic on Sunday
has Tot resulted in decreasing drunkenness,
as some has asserted It would. The saloons
In this city can be easily closed and the
traffic IN liquor on Sunday as readily and
effectually suppressed as In Macon, Atlsn'a
aud other places, and IL the present ordi
naDces are defective new ones should I e
enacted and enforced.

A SsvannahIan Fatally Injured In


On Saturday, Mrs. Williamson, resid-
Ing in Savannah, wife of Mr.. C. VIII
hanson, received a letter from her hus-
band. who Is in Texas, conveying the
mournful intelligence that he had met
with a fatal accident, which would proba-
ceived. Mr.. Williamson was formerly an
engineer in the employ Of the Central Rail
road, and later was a clerk in the store Of
Mr. F. Russsk. Some time since he went to
Texas, but to what place we are not In
formed, and obtained employment as en-
gfneer on one of the railroads. The follow
ing is a copy OF the letter received by Mrs.
Williamson:
Ny Dear WIFE and Children have met
with an accident on my engine which will
cause my death. / am told by the doctor
that am beyond mortal aid; so l am writ
ing as a diving man. There is no use of my
sending for you, even II had the means,
which l have not, as before you could pos
sibly reach here / will be dead man. |
have instructed the doctor to send you this
after my death. May the Lord take care of
you all. Your loving husband,
G. WILLIAMSON.
Yesterday Mrs. Williamson received
smother letter stating that her husband was
not dead, but the physician was so firmly
impressed that he could not survive his in
| juries that he had mailed her the letter Mr..
| Williamson had written. The doctor stated
that Mr. Williamson was on his engine
when the reverse lever sprung
back, striking him on the
side and crushing in his ribs over the heart
that II he lived it would be miracle and
he would be cripple. Mr.. Williamson was
very highly esteemed by his fellow employees
at the Central Railroad, and has many
friends in this city who will hear with re-
gret of the terrible accident that has befallen
him, and will trust that 1t nay not prove so
serious as now appears.

The Temperance Questla q.

While no general temperance bill Of i'm
portance was passed by the Legislature, the
sale of liquor was prohibited in a great
many counties, by reason Of the increase Of
the license tax to such figure as cannot
be paid. 1t is stated that the counties in
which the sale Of liquor is now prohibited
amount to forty-eight In the
State. Prohibition was asked for a
great many other counties, but was killed
or postponed by amendments which allow
the people of the various townships and dis
tricts to vote whether or not the sale Of
liquor should be prohibited. The tenn
perance people, on the other hand, gain a
great deal in the prohibition of the sale Of
liquor within q certain number Of miles Of
certain churches, colleges and academies,
and altogether the session has resulted in
very materially enlarging the circle Of pro-
hibition.

The "COrner'' In the Liverpool Cot
ton Trade.

The following article from the Liverpool
Shipping Telegraph and Commercial AdUerti-
ser Will be read with considerable interest
by our commercial readers;
'In view of the agitation which is being
excited in the cotton manufacturing dis
tricts of Lancashire by the 'corneriDg'
operations which have been put into effect
in the Liverpool market, it may be interest
ing to offer an explanation OF the process
which may render the proceedingssof Old
ham and Manchester spinners more intelli-
gible to those unacquainted with the nature
of the cotton trade than is possibly at
present the case. 1t appears that in the
months Of May and June last the cotton
market was In very depressed condition,
the prices having run down to about
Cd. per pound, which is usually regarded as
the normal unit of value which cotton pos
sesses apart from the fluctuations caused by
speculation and other outside influences.
The general impression, moreover, was that
the large American crop then in, and the
prospects of still larger new crops-esti-
mated at seven millions Of bales by certain
American houses-Would tend to reduce
prices to a still lower point. As conse-
ouence, there was an inclination to sell,
bona tide holders being anxious to clear out
stocks of declining value, and spectators
endeavOring to secure profit out OF bear
ing operations. One member of the trade,
however, whose operations are often upon a
scale of great magnitude, did not share the
general anticipation of fall in rates, but
believed, on the other hand, that rise would
take place. He accordingly made pur-
chases in all directions of cotton to ar
rive in August and September, it being
estimated that he secured nearly half q
million bales, or, in fact, considerably more
cotton than was actually in existence, the
market thus being what is termed 'over-
sold.' When August came round the acute
ness Of this large operator was found to be
| fully justified by results. The bears
| found themselves in the position of having TO
supply the cotton which they had sold in ad-
vance, and which was now not in the market.
The consequence was an advance in price to
the present rates, which rule about z 5-16d.
for the description of cotton chiefly in
volved in these proceedings; and, as the
| operator in question still insists upon the
| delivery of all the cotton he has bought, and
refuses to settle by re-selling the contracts
to the original sellers, the latter find them
selves in a very serious dilemma, from
which they can escape only at great pc
cuuiary loss. This is the corner as it
| affects spectators"

Van uIustrious Son.o

the following paragraph:
SIT will, perhaps, be matter of news to
many to know that General Henry r. Jack
son, of Savannah, the able lawyer, gifted
poet, heroic soldier and finished orator, is a
native Of Athens. We have been informed
that he was born on the place on which Mr.
Allen r. johnson now lives, near the city,
and that his father was for several years
professor in Franklin College. Athens can
boast of many noble sons, some of precious
memory, and some who live to-day who have
illustrated their city and State in the forum,
on the field, In the councils of the nation
and in every department of life, and it is
gratifying TO know that the name of Henry
r. Jackson is among the honored list"

which distinguished that noble animal, was
forever destroyed by huge knot appearing

Lightning Liniment, which produced the

The Chrtsttan Advocate

Says: ga general complaint that spares
neither class nor condition of person is
seated in the liver, and may be truly said
this is our national disease, and it gives US
great pleasure to hear or read the testimony
of persons of well known veracity and in
telligence to prove the value of Simmons
Liver Regulator, prepared by J. II. Zeilin &
Co., as y remedy. The printed and verbal
testimony Of so many friends and acquaint-
ances satisfies US that this is one of the ex-
ceptions to the general humbuggery Of
medical specialties."

A DIsorderIT Female.

Yesterday morning about 9O'elOek Police

the outrageous conduct Of a eolored female
who apparently had been tickling her thOrsx

profanity could be heard several blocks OF.
The officer arrested her and she was landed
at the barracks in a short time. She gave
her name as Nellie Wright, but her conduct
was decidedly wrong, and she will doubtless
find il out this morning at the seaBce.
