sayannah's interests in Congress,


There is an impression that Savannah's
interests in Congress are not making
much progress. These interests are the
river improvement below the city and the
much desired and long looked for post
office building The Representative Of
this district is doubtless doing all he can
for both.
1t is not an easy matter to make head
way where 50 many interests are crowd
ing for recognition and demanding atten-
tion. 4 committee Of four gentlemen of
this city left for Washington last night TO
add their arguments to those already sub
mittcd in favor Of an ample appropriation
FOR the river and for public
building. The improvement 50 far
made in the river has had a good effect on
our commerce, and when the work is
completed vessels Of the largest class will
be able to come to our wharves. With
respect to the post Office building, every
thing that can be said in its favor has
been saidA What is necessary is to i'm
press upon the committee which has
the matter in charge the Importance Of
prompt action. No city in the country is
more in need Of post office building than
this, and no city has been so persistently
neglected by Congress. 1t is to De hoped
that a more favorable report than has yet
been heard viii soon be made.

The men who are pressing the various
pension schemes before Congress are not
the soldiers Of the late war. They are
pension agents who have already made
fortunes out of this pension business. A
member Of the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie. speaking TO a representative of the
New York Herdld, a few days ago, said:
eve Of the Grand Array are opposed to
much Of this pension legislation now on
the stocks and ready for launching. We
don't want service pensions that is, to
hand money from the Government Urea
surv at this date to every man who went
into the service, regardless Of his present
condition in life. We think it is absurd
to pav over to veterans now a sum Of
money equal to the difference between
gold and greenbacks at the time the SOL
diers were paid their bounties and sala-
ries. and particularly we don't want to
see anv such gigantic swindle perpetrated
as that which proposes to give each sur
yiving soldier a warrant for 100 acres Of
land without regard to settlement. Why,
in a month fully 90 per cent. Of the
land would be in the hands Of land
sharks, who would buy it for song"
John Logan is the champion of most Of
the pension legislation. In his mad desire
to be President he would open the doors
Of the Treasury vaults to the pension at
torneys with the hope of making himself
popular with the soldier element. The
intelligent ex-soldiers. however, see his mo
tive and give him no more credit for what
he is doing than he deserves.

1t is suspected that all the silly things in
the first edition will be charged to the
intelligent compositor and eliminated, but
the fear, or rather hope, is that there won't
be any Of the book left when the work Of
correction Is completed.

The ambition Of Mrs. Damon \. Kilg0re
10 become a member Of the Philadelphia
bar has been crushed again. Her ambi-
ton. however, like truth crushed to earth
rises up with commendable prOmptness
The learned Judge, in delivering his
opinion declining to grant Mrs. kilgure a
license. said: ''It may be admitted at
once that no inherent reason exists why a
woman. married or single, may not en-
cage in any business which a man may
lawfully follow. 1t ought, however, to be
remembered tnat the Creator Of the uni
verse, for a reason which any reasonable
being ought to consider self-eyident,
made distinction between the sexes, and
saw fit, in the propagation Of the species,
TO protect the physically weaker sex by
laws as infexible as other and general
laws governing the universe, and to place
under the protection of the male sex the
female, simply because, as a general and
universal law applicable to all created
living organisms, the female requires pro-
lection"
Mrs. KilgOre, it seems, needs protection
because Of her sex, and it is, therefore,
folly for her to seek a position where she
viii be required toprOtect and defend peo-
pIe. As high an authority as the Secre-
fary Of the Treasury, however, decided
that Mrs. Mary Miller was entitled to a
license to run Mississippi river steam
boat. and that precedent ought TO have
been sufficient to influence the learned
Judge to give Mrs. Kilgore a lawyers Ii
cense.

The late Bishop II. II. kayanaugh, who

whose remains have just been inferred at
Louisville, KY, began the ministry at a
very early age in Kentucky. His first
work was among the colored people, and it
is narrated that on one occasion while
helping in a meeting the minister in
charge was asked to dinner by the
brethren. but young Kayanaugh was over
looked, and would have been compelled to
fast had a good old negro woman not have
noticed him and brought him dinner.
Years afterwards, when a Bishop, he
preached IN the same place. After the
sermon many invitations and carriages
were at his disposal. His reply was,
'sThank you, but see yonder at the back
OF the church the good colored sister who
was the only one to give me an invitation
when I was here before, and | am going
home with her now" And he did.

\ couple Of editors, Watterson, Of the
Louisville C0lu-er-J9arnQl. and Mcclure
Of the Philadelphia Times, have succeed
ed in stirring UP quite a breeze IN point
cal circles. They are sensational ID lneiI
wav Of dong things. and 1t Is not unJusI
to them. perhaps, to say that nothing
gives them more pleasure than 10 see
themselves in print. Watterson, III
the last Few years, has succeeded
in keeping himself more prominently
before the public than Mcclure mas, and
this fact the latter. there is reason 10 be-
lieve. Las not accepted with the best
possible grace. When Watterson's dis
patch notifying 8lr. Randall and his pro
lection followers that if they persist
ed in obstructing the consideration
Of the Morrison tariff bill they
would be invited to take mp their
grip-sacks and depart from the
Democratic party appeared, Mcclure
evidently thought that he was in danger
Of being overlooked if he did not say
something through his paper as startling as
that which Watters0n had said. He, there
fore. teiegraphed from Washington that
all hope Of Democratic unity on the tariff
in Congress had persisted, and that both
wings Of the party were arming and or
ganizIng for the conflict. He further said
that the ringing order for a free trade
advance sent out by Watterson was the
result Of "a deliberately determined pup
pose on the part Of the free trade leaders
u force the fight and 10 desert Democracy
/ 10 follow free trade. It must be admitted
/ that in striving to be sensational Nc
/ Ciure failed, unintentionally no doubt, TO
De entirely honest with his readers. OF

! man knows, that there is no party and
| no leaders Of party in this country adj
/ yOcating free trade. He also knows that
the leaders Of the tariff ref0rmers are not

on that point. The idea Of four-ifths
