Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-03-27

The last census bulletin elbows the pro-
duction of rice in 1879, the census year.
According to the report, there were pro-
duced in the United States during that year
IIO, 1S1, 373 pounds OF rice. From Alabama
came SO, $50; Florida, 1894, 577; Georgia,
. 1863 6S7; Louisiana, o, 1SS, 81; Mississippi,
LIS, 95l; North Carolina, $500, 1el; South
Carolina, 81, or ,515; Texas, 62,l52. From
this report 1t will be seen that Georgia
stands second in the list Of producers, and
supplies about tWentY-three per cent. OF the
entire crop. The rice interests are pro-
tected very benefctallY by the tariff, an d
to the protection Georgia is indebted for
her prosperity In this branch. The total rice
crop OF the season 1868 was only II ,600,-
600 pounds. Now the crop OF this State
alone, SAYS the Macon Telegraph, is double
that, while the total crop is more than ten
times as large. Colonel John Screyen, Of
Savannah, in a speech delivered before the
late tariff convention, furnishes some in
teresting comparisons and statements upon
this question. We may quote from him :
81 may say that the whole of
the American product OF rice is
consumed in this country, for but 10000
pounds Of American rice were exported last
year. = The gross production OF the
Southern States from 1860 to 1880 was 667, =
OOO, 900 pounds, and In the decade l have
named there were imported IN the United
States 6S9 600, 600 l have only
to add that the total consumption Of rice in
the United States at the present time is 1885,
OOO, 600 to 145. 600 600 pounds per year. We
viii assume that nearly half of thisis foreign
rice. Il is plain that II you abolish the duty
and take away the sustaining power afford
ed 10 Il by the Southern producer, the result
will naturally be the establishment Of the
same monopoly which brought large quanti-
ties Of rice into the United States during the
lsta war. What was the result of that Sim
ply that price, Of rice then rated at from 13
TO Il cents. What DC We see now? The
average price Of rice in this country is about
5 TO 81 cents per pound. That is brought
about for the benefit Of the American peo-
pie, and l believe solely and entirely from
the beneficial Influences of your tariff"

The Savannah Harbor.

The petitions which are going up from
Georgia show incontestibly that there is an
earnest desire on the part of the people Of
this State to have the hsrbor at Savannah
improved. Senator Brown, who is man
Of large views and fully appreciates the
situation, is doing all in his power to OBJ
tain the necessary appropriation. II the
members of Congress win consider the mat
ter even in cursory manner, they cannot
avoid giving their support to the measure.
Savannah is one Of the most important
ports on the Atlantic coast, not only on &C
count of the large amount of cotton an
nually shipped from 1t, but for many other
reasons. It Is the coast terminus OF one
of the most complete railway systems in the
Union, a system which radiates into several
Southern States and has direct connection
with the West. Over these roads, thou
sands Of miles In length If taken In the ag-
gregate, vast amount Of produce seeks its
way to Savannah and thence to New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and to Europe,
carrying back merchandise from the great
Northern cities. 1t is patent that II the
harbor was improved so that the largest
vessels could reach Savannah at any time,
this trade would be greatly increased. Thus
not only this immediate section, but the
West and North as well, are interested IN
the proposed improvement. This is no out
of the way stream, but the outlet and inlet
for the commerce of a vast section OF coun-
t'y, and its improvement is imperativelY de-
handed by the necessities of the situation.
As we understand it, 1t will require about
$3.50, 900 to fully improve the harbor, but
only $350,000 is asked from this Con-
gress. This is comparatively a small
amount when the greatness and Importance
of the work are taken into consideration.
Points of much less importance have re-
ceived large appropriations, and 1t seems to
us that the justice Of Savannah's claims does
not admit of doubt. II the improvement
is made so as to give q uniform depth OF
twenty-five feet In the channel from Savan-
nah to the bar, vessels of large draught can
enter and line of steamships will probably
be established between Savannah and Liv-
erpool. We have heard but one opinion on
the subject in this section, and it is in favor
of the Improvement. The commercial and
planting communities here do not need
figures to tell them of the Importance of
the work to their interests. The improve
ment will also add greatly to the business of
the railroads and thus all classes will be
benefited. The appropriation should GER
talnly be made.-Aalg1tst0 Chronicle.

AN ugly AFPAfR.
A Young Man Severely Stabs HIS
Room Mate who Refuses TO Loan
Him Money.

Yesterday morning about O'Clock, q
young man named j. w. Buchanan was
very severely stabbed and cut by William E.
Call, who came here from Augusta some time
since. The parties are friends, and have been
rooming together at house on Bryan street,
near West Broad. Call had been out frolicing
on Saturday night, and returned to his
room about one O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, where he was found by Buchanan Sit
ting up with some friends. Call, who was
under the influence Of liquor, asked Bu-
chanan to lend him some money, which the
latter refused TO do. Call remained in the
room for some minutes, and again called on
Buchanan. who in the meantime had loaned
another friend in the room a dollar, and
after some words charged him with insult
ing him. A dispute occurred, and in q
second Call drew a knife and cut and
stabbed Buchanan several times severely
three times in the left arm, once In the
head, once in the left breast, once near the
armpit on the left side and once In the left
side, very severe, the cut extend
ing nearly to the abdomen. The
attack was made so suddenly that those
in the room knew nothing of it. Buchanan
went out with Call to the foot of the steps
and that individual walked off. When
Buchanan returned to the room 1t was
found that he was severely cut. DR.. George
II. S,ene was summoned and rendered eff
cient service. He pronounced the cuts or
stabs very painful and severe but not dan
gerous.
Call had not been arrested up to a late
hour last night.

About $50 o'clock yesterday morning,
lust before the steamer s.. Johns left for
Florida, 8 fine blooded hoEse that was being
shipped to a Northern gentleman who owns
a EIaee in that State fell overheard. Before
attempting to get him on toard a rope was
fortunately tied about bis fore legs, as when
half way on the gangwsy his foot slipped
and the animal fell into the river and sank
The tide was, fortunately, high at the time,
and be was hsuled 70 the slip, which goes
down about three feet below the top OF the
wharf, and was dragged on shore without
much difficulty, when It was found that he
was unable to get on his feet, owing TO the
quantity Of water swallowed. Several
eolOred men rubbed him for few moments
with cloths and wisps OF hay, when he was
able % rise, and was gotten on board sp-
parentlF not much injured by his bath.
