lily engaged in making preparations
for a celebration which shall surpass
in splendor and magnlfcence any
thing Of the kind ever witnessed in

the most conservative city in the
country, and she has the reputation

likely. to prove advantageous to her
citizens aud their business connections
in other States, she goes In with a vim
to make the project worthy OF her
name and reputation. In the present
instance the festival will continue
three days, the 10th, 18th and 18th
of October, and q more fitting season
could not be chosen.
The people Of the city are enthusi'
astic over the project, and have con-

of prominent business men have been
appointed to superintend the arrange.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 8, 1881.
The President.
A Remarkable Trip.

The seat of Government was on
Tuesday last removed to Long Branch,
N. j., in the person of the President,
bis Cabinet and their families. Dur
ing the past month the President has
at number of times expressed him.
aslf as being extremely anxious to
leave the White House aud during
the past two weeks his desire devel-
oped into almost a monomania on the
subject Of removal, so that whether
or not in the opinion of his
physicians his physical condition
was such as would safely admit Of re.
moval, the anxiety and mental stress
was such, that they were driven to
accede to his requests for e change of
location. Therefore, upon his deci-
ded change for the better after the
extreme illness Of August 81 and %,
ais physicians determined TO take him
to the sea shore at Long Branch. His
condition during last week changed
but little, but on Saturday night last
ne was taken twice with vomiting, this
however was claimed not to be really
tie fault of his stomach, but was oc-
casioned by the accumulation of mu
Gus and saliva in his throat. Tues
day morning therefore found him but
little changed from bis condition gen
orally during last week. The most
thoughtful and elaborate preparations
had been made for his removal, a
special palace car had been fitted up,
a track laid through the streets Of
Washington and Long Branch, and
every precaution taken against delay,
noise and jar, so that the trip might
be short, quiet and comfortable. From
the White House he was carried to a
conveyance and slowly driven to the
train at the Sixth st. depot, some lit,
'tle delay occurring there through not
being able to back the wagon prop
erly up to the car and on entering the
car, the cot on which the President lay
struck the door jamb, Earring him con.
siderably; with these exceptions the
trip was a smooth one. The train
stopped but twice and made the run
of 24O miles in about seven hours
The President improved from the
time he left the White House, hi
pulse then being ii and it continued
to fall during the entire trip and he
expressed himself to the effect that il
was the happiest day that he had
passed since the shooting. Much In
terest was shown along the route and
IN Washington, although multitude
lined the streets, there was no noise
or confusion. Many people got a view
of his face and it is described as be-
ing very much emaciated.

LOCAL MATT E RS.
A GIaring Evil.

The at ention of our county fathers
shou d at once he ca led to the condition
OF the causeway leading into our town, as
it certainly needs the serious and imme-
diate attention Of them, and all citizens
whose on y means of reaching Port To-
bacco, is over that thorougfare. Since the
thaw and recent We; spells that We have
had, there has been a decided freshst in
the canal over which the caussway passes.
An immense volume OF water comes down
the canal from a large stretch Of country
up the val sy at all times, and to this has
been added the thsw from the hills sur
rounding, which has caused the canal to
swell 90 high, and the water to come
down with such force, that it has broken
through the embankment at the larger
bridge and fiji ed the lowland adjoining e.
tirely with water. Tho opening in the
embankment il nearly under the bridge.
and few more inches washed away will
SO weaken the uprigh that hold it, that
it will be dangerous to cross. This is the
same with the smaller bridge, which even
now looks as if it were temp ing Previ-
dence to 60 on it. The Commissioners
should at once attend to this as it may
save the county considerable loss and
trouble to have the evil remedied at once.
Considering that the land through which
the canal runs was bought by private sub
scription and given to tho county for its
present use, we should think they might
afford to keep this c. useway in proper re-
pair and not compel the citizens from
that section of the County to jeopsrdize
themselves by crossing it, as they certainly
will if the water still continues its present
course. "A stitch in time saves nine"
Since the above was put in type, this
matter has been brought, by committee
Of Town Commissioners, to the atten' ion
of the County Commissioners, whereupon
the latter Board at once appointed COM
mittee to examine the condition of the ca
nal and causeway. We are glad to say
that the Commissioners have determined
to take prompt action in the premises.
At their adjourned meeting which is called
for March 81 and %, they will take definite
steps'for the repair of the roads mentioned.
