An Empor,aD, Matter.

A section OF the new registry law for the
city Of Savannah, passed at the last session
Of the Legislature, provides that the Judges
of the Superior and City Courts and the
Ordinary Of the county shall select three
freeholders from each militia district In the
city, who shall constitute the registry and
election managers. The law requires that
these appointments or selections shall be
made at least two months prior to the cleo
ton. The municipal election takes place in
January, and it is necessary that this matter
should be attended to before the cOnVening
OF the December term Of the Superior
Court. It is understood that
Judge TOmpkins will be here
the latter part OF the month and some action
win probably then be taken. The matter is an
important one, as we understand that in the
event the appointments are not made in
accordance with the law two months prior
TO the election that the election will go by
default; in fact, cannot be held.
The law was published in full in the
MORNING NEWS shortly after its passage,
but this important provision seems to have
been overlooked. The appointments could
have been made when Judge TOmpkins was
here several weeks since.

Address By Hon. ThOmss Harde-
man.

A grand rally of the Democracy Of
Chatham county will be had at the savan-
nah Theatre this evening, in accordance
with the call of the Chairman of the Demo
cratic party, Hon. Rufus E. Lester, which
will be found elsewhere. The occasion
will De an address on the political issues
from Hon. Thomas Hardemsn, Democratic
candidate for Congress for the state-at-
large. Colonel Hardeman is too well
known in our community as an eloquent
and able orator, and an address Of rare ex-
cellence msy be expected. The simple an
nouncemeut that he is to speak is sufficient
to crowd the Theatre, and We look for an
immense turnout OF the old Democracy OF
Chatham tonight.

The Commercial Outlook.


Eastern journals Of some financial
reputation do not take a roseate view of
the opening business season. They do
not predict or apprehend any revulsion,
but they do not believe there is going to
be revival of the flush times of 1880
and 1881. Their reason for this is the
falling off abroad of the demand for va
riOus American products, and the I'M
paralleled increase of imports of COM
modities largely or entirely of the nature
of luxuries and vanities. The reasoning
by which their conclusion is reached is
very simple and entirely logical. The only
thing to be considered IS as to whether
their facts are true. AS to the increase
of imports of luXuries, the records OF the
custom houses themselves furnish I'M
questionable data. Whether, however,
exports will not recover the lost ground
and surpass any figures ever heretofore
reached must depend on events which
are hypothetical. The demand in Europe
is the first and most important factor in
the problem, but the price in this cOun-
try must also have much to do with de-
termining the result 1t is sincerely to
be hoped that the keen commercial Ca
pacity of American business men will
contribute to the establishment of
correct balance sheet before the evil of
excessive importation has reached
ruinous proportions 1t is by no means
necessary that there should go abroad
merchandise or commodities equal in
volume to the imports. The vast pro-
duct Of our mines of gold and silver is
properly reckoned as a part of our
resources to meet foreign balances. I'm
lesssexpended for supertluitles or unpro-
ductive luxuries, it is as desirable that
our gold and silver should be exported as
any other commodity. 1t is not safe to
estimate the situation as it will be at the
end of the calendar year, until the crops
are garnered and measured both at home
and abroad.

1t will be seen by announcement else
where that a meeting OF the Democratic
party is called for Monday evening next,
18th inst, at St. Andrews Hall, by the
Chairman of the Executive Committee, for
the purpose Of nominating candidates for
the House Of Representatives, and for APP
pointing delegates to the Senatorial Conven-
ton, which meets at Eden on the Goth inst,
10 nominate q Senator from the First district.
This viii be an important meeting, and
from the interest manifested re-
garding the nominations for the General
Assembly, the meeting viii be very lively,
and there will be a pretty free expression OF
opinion as to the delegation that goes from
Chatham county. There are three Repre-
sentatives to be nominated, aud as the next
session of the Legislature Will be a very
important one, the character Of the delega-
tion should be well considered. This we find
is the general opinion among our citizens,
and It may be assumed that the meeting
will be Of unusual interest. The appoint
ment Of delegates to the Senatorial Con-
vention viii also excite considerable in
terest.

A Few Suggestions az the Powers
That BE.


mot, oh powers that be,would presume
to dictate, but merely to offer few prac-
teal suggestions"
1. The pump corner Of Lincoln and Hunt
ingdon streets is out Of order, and has been
for weeks. Let It be repaired at once.
2. It so happens sometimes that such
matters come to the knowledge ot police
men. Let them be required to report it
promptly.
3. The water supply of the city is badly
regulated. 1t is very difficult to get suffi
Client supply of water between 9 and 10
O'Clock a. m. to cook with, ETC., and 10 get
bath tub filed requires great loss OF time
and much expenditure Of patience, as this
was not formerly the case. Let this be
regulated as formerly, when the water sup
piled was ample st all times.
4. The plank road on Liberty and East
Broad streets, adjoining the depot Of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, is
q great convenience and public necessity,
but is now in a dangerous condition. 1t
could be repaired at a very inconsiderable
cost. Let It be done quickly.
5. The street Immediately In front Of the
Office OF the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway is in a dangerous condition and
needs immediate attention. Let 1t be re-
paired at once. SELAH.

sudden Death OF a Young Lady.


Miss Alice Sutton, residing with her
mother at the corner OF BroughtOn and
Montgomery streets, died very suddenly
yesterday morning, about half-past twelve
O'Clock, under circumstances which gave
rise to various rumors in the neighborhood.
Upon investigation it was ascertained that
Miss Sutton had been indisposed for several
DAYS past, but was not confined to her bed.
Yesterday morning she left iher room and
proceeded down stairs, where the family
were, and complained OF choking sensa-
ton in the throat. In few
minutes after she asked one OF
the inmates Of the room to unite
her shoe, when she suddenly fell over to the
floor and expired instantly. The Coroner
was notified, but upon inquiry into the
matter considered an iUquisition unneces-
sary. DR.. j. G. Thomas, who had been
consulted, pronounced death the result Of
a congestive chill. Her funeral will take
place this morning at II O'Clock from the
residence, corner BrOughtOn and Mont
gOmery streets.
