Important Ruling by the Post ONCE
Departments.

An order affecting readdressed letters has
been issued by the Post Office Department.
This states that the prohibition Of sections
378 and 100, postal laws and regulations, ap-
plies properly only to letters originally
mailed with intent to defraud the govern
ment by the use Of cancelled stamps there
on, or to the attempt Of postmasters to OBJ
tain commissions on stamps cancelled by
them, upon matter not actually mailed at
their offices. These sections are not to be
construed so as to nullify the law, section
81, which directs that "prepsid letters shall
be forwarded from one post office to
another at the request of the per-
son addressed" Inasmuch as, by
section 628, the Postmaster General has de-
signated all postal cars and mail apartments
in cars and on steamboats, as postsOffices, 1t
is held that deposit in q railway office, at
the post office originally addressed, of an
unopen letter readdressed for forwarding,
is permissible under section 372. Such let
ters should be forwarded to their new des-
tination, and this destination may be
changed as many times as 1t may be neces-
sary to reach the person addressed. 1t has
already been decided that the deposit OF
letter readdressed for forwarding In any let
ter box established by the Post Office De-
partment within the delivery of the post Of
flee originally addressed, is equivalent to
deposit in the post office, ami that when
such letters are taken out of the boxes by
employees of the Railway Mail Service, they
should be forwarded to destination with the
other contents of the boxes.

neaerIinn Craw.

Yesterday morning a little before the
steamship Anatolia sailed for Bremen five
of her crew deserted, two of we're fremeA
and the other threes whom sailors. The
mate saw them leaving and followed them
70 the gate OF the cotton yard, when one Of
the sailors drew q sheath knife on him.
The mate seeing that he could do nothing
with the men, was compelled 20 let them go
as there were no policemen in the vicinity.
As the steamship had cleared and was
ready to leave the port, there was no time
to bother with the deserters and have them
compelled to obey their contracts with the
vessel, consequently five other men we're
procured to fill their places, and the vessel
proceeded on her voyage. The desertiOn
was evidently prearranged by the men, as
leaving at the time they did It would cost
the Captain of the vessel more to secure
them than their services would be worth to
the vessel.

Row Yamacr.xv.

Yesterday forenoon the neighborhood of
Fshm and Orange streets was disturbed by
an attempt Of mob Of negroes to furnish
the Coroner with the corpus of VIM. Green
for sn inquest. 1t appears that Green, who
had declined to join the strikers, whilst
passing in the vicinity of the locality
named, was attacked by Clint Williams,
one of the loud-m rioters.
Green showed pluck, and a fight
followed, in which q number Of negroes,
sYmpsthisers with Williams, joined. Green,
finding himself hemmed in, drew pistol
and fired several shots. Green's wife rushed
into the difficulty to protect her husband,
and was knocked down by some unsppreci-
alive trooper. Green was arrested by a
constable, bat Williams, the cause of the
whole trouble, managed to escape.

The Freaks Of a Festive Equine.

Yesterday afternoon, about two O'Clock,
q saddle horse, which was hitched to the
rack on the north side Of Bay street, near
the Exchange, gave q regular circus per-
Torrance free Of charge. From some cause,
unknown to any but festive equines, the
animal got in a scary mood, and, pulling
back, snapped the strap which secured him
to the rack, and kicking up bis heels
at having secured bis freedom, started down
the street in a full gsllOp. On reaching the
railing at the head Of the slip foot Of Lin
coin street he hesitated 8 moment as though
debating mentally whether 10 spring
over and astOnish the natives by breaking
his neck or not. A moments reflection
satisfied the sagacious animal that prudence
was the better part Of valOr, and. turning
suddenly around, he made one or two
rounds on the platform bridge in
front OF StOddard's upper range, and
then being seized with a desire,
It Is presumed, to learn how the cotton
market stood, rushed through the open
door Of the cotton merchants Office and
completely demoraliZed the efficient clerical
force, who we're rather surprised by receiv-
ing visit from the affrighted
equine. The Bull Run panic was = small
affair, as it were, to the skeedsddling which
ensued. Finally one bold mortal approach
ed the animal, and managed to get him out
OF the Office before any damage was done.
The affair created considerable excitement
on the Bay.

The Tybee Telegram

Telegrsphic communication with Tybee
has now been interrupted for more than
month, much to the detriment of the COM
merce of the port. We understand that the
cause of the delay is the non-arrlval Of the
poles, which are at No. 81 Central Railroad.
Cannot the energetic Manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, who has
charge of the Tybee line, get the Central
Railroad to bring the poles down at once
Everybody connected with the shipping is
interested in having the line to the island
rebui!t as soon as possible.

The Number az.

SAVANNAH, September 28.-Editor Horn
ing NeOs d: 1t Is said that President Garfield
was superstitious about the connection Of
the number AZ with the most important
events in his own personal history. Be-
sides this, the number 10 is said to have
borne conspicuous part in his affairs; and
during his last illness, and following his
death, recital has been made Of numerous
strange facts and condolences in relation
to his life and death. Not the least singular
occurrence connected with his tragic end
was the discovery, on the very same night
he died, of new comet In the northeast
q remarkable fulfllment of the saying which
Shakespeare puts into the mouth of Cal
phurnia, the wife Of Caesar. Just before
her husbands assassination, fearing some
terrible calamity would befall him, she tried
to dissuade him from going to the capitol.
After recounting the strange and "most
horrid sights seen by the WATCH" she says /:
when beggars die, there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death
of princes"

"Our Ro1s,,-suggessive Facts.


SAVANNAH, September 2S.-Editor Morning
Macs: Your correspondent " Reformer"
preached in your issue Of Tuesday last
subject for consideration well worth the at
tention Of our citizens. All that Reform
err said of the neglect Of the Savannah
boys by their parents is unfortunately true,
and the neglect we are panied to a-y Is not
confined to any particular classes 81 society,
but is general-gentlemen's SON, as they
are socially called, being amensbie to "Re-
formers" accusations as well as those OF
mechanics and laborers.
We have frequently heard the remark
made, with irritation, "that young men from
the North or from South Carolina were pre-
ferred by business men to Savannah boys,
and the remarkw we believe to be correcttn the
main, the reasons for the preference being
too manifest to escape the notice OF every
one but ''thOse who will not see. "
The former have had attention paid
to their morals and manners, and
have been trained to mind their work
and not to idle. Moreover, what business
man is inclined to receive into his office or
counting-room youth who he knows to be
a ''Street Arab, )" receiving vagrant instruc-
ton, as he has seen, perhaps, himself
What decent boy can be running the streets
after dark without INJURY 10 MS cnAdCCoI
Parents, whether they take it to heart or
not, will be held to a strict accountability
| for the morals and manners of their chill
dren, as so many talents entrusted to their
stewardship by God. The Bible teaches
that, and can see no escape from It. To
parents then belongs, first aud principally,
the responsibility for the present and future
lives OF their offspring. And to the
| scbOOlmaster attaches secondary
care of, and accountability for, those
| intrusted to him. But here is deficiency
which has been felt In Savannah since the
war, namely: good private schools for boys,
and for girls, where morals and manners
may be carefully taught and protected.
| Here are remedies for the evils pointed out
by "Reformer;;" and money should be OF
less moment Of we can afford it) than the
| souls of our children. W.
n. B.-I add, respectfully, that it Ia
strongly impressed on my mind, that the
clergy have some responsibilities in connec-
ton with this matter of child training,
through the parents, who are their spiritual
children. In this, however, may be mis-
taken.

A General Knocking Down Of COun-
TRY Produce.


About nine O'Clock yesterday morning q
horse attached to country cart standing
near the market created quite q sensation.
The cart contained several coOps Of chick
ems, which were brought to town for sale,
and were presided over by colored dame.
The animal became frightened at some I'M
usual noise and dashed off rapidly along
the pavement, knocking over the stands Of
several fruit and peanut vendors and scat
terfng their stock in every direction.
This general racket served to increase
HIS fright, and he plunged forward with in
creased speed, bringing the vehicle in violent
contact with the rear OF another country
cart which was backed up to the curb. This
collision was disastrous, as the vehicle he
was swinging around was completely turned
over, and the colOred dame, with her chick
ems, vas thrown upon the pavement. The
woman was severely bruised but sustained
no serious injury. The horse was stopped
BY a eOlOred man and further damage
avoided.
