The Russian Mission.

The appointment Of Gen. LawtOn to
the Russian mission was unexpected.
He was prominently mentioned for a place
in the Cabinet, and at one time the pros
pect that he would be a member Of the
Presidents official household was very
promising. After the selection of the
Cabinet it was not thought that Gen
Lawton would have any connection with
the government, aud this belief was
strengthened when Georgia was given an
important foreign appointment.
It seems. however, that the President
thought so highly Of Gen. Lawton that he
insisted upon having his services.
The country viii be ably represented at
st. Petersburg. Gen. LaWton is a gentle
man Of ability and culture and Of varied
and extensive attainments. He has seen
a great deal Of the world, and his attrac-
tive and polished manners d1stngu; sh
him wherever he may be. Had he been Sc
lected for the Cabinet he would have Won
distinction there doubtless, and If an op-
pOrtunity presents Itself there is every
reason 10 expect that he viii win distinc-
ton as a diplomatist.
The Russian mission. always imp0r-
tant, promises to be particularly impor-
tant within a very short time. If the
threatened war between Russia and Eng
land should occur, it might involve the
whole OF Europe. Ia that event this
country would need very able man as
its representative at st. Petersburg.
The President has complimented SavaH-
nah, not because be desired to favor this
city or because her favored citizens were
more highly recommended than citizens
OF other sections of the country, but be-
cause he found here the men who were
capable Of filling the positions he wanted
filled, and who would reflect credit upon
his administration.

Under the title OF "Horning." the
Charleston Nelcs and Courier has the fol-
lowing to say about the practice of eras-
ing or altering the classification marks Of

Buyer-"Is this * rOsin?''
Seller (aloud )-"Yes; (SOttO r0ce) in q

TaiS short dialogue may not correctly
represent the origin Of the term ''horningD
10 the naval stores trade, but il does cor
Tectly intimate It's nature and its object.
1t is intended TO deceive the buyer. 1t is
a change of the inspectors classification
marks with intent to make the goods
pass as better BSan they really are. at
least for better than the inspector saws
they are. II is gratifying that the
trade in Wilmington and Charleston
Indignantly deny the charge that the
practice prevails in these two markets.
1t was hoped that savannah would have
been able to IEake an equally explicit
denial, but the trade there simply enters
a plea in confession and avoidance They
acknowledge that the practice prevails.
but say 10 is in compliance with orders
from purchasers in New York and Chi
cagO.
This is all wrong. If their statement
is true it acqutps them of the charge Of
defrsuding the purchase, lat convicts
them Of helping the purchasers to de-
fraud other peODle, for which they have
not even the poor excuse that they are
paid for it. Even granting that the
inspectors mark be too low and the
raised mark correct description of the
quality of the rosin, tlis fact merely
mitigates the moral guilt CT the act, and
does not Justify it. The right way is to
take legal measures to compel the inspec-
tor to afix the proper mark to the goods,
and to reach, as soon as practicable, a
uniform classification. Honesty is the
best policy in naval stores as I'D every
other branch of business, and it Will be
bad day for Savannah when buyers IN the
great naval stOFes markets of the world
recognize Savannah 'ek's'' as of no better
grade than ''Ps7' from other ports.

What Chatham County Needs.

What Chatham County Needs.
For several years tie important work
Of cutting a canal through the series Of
swanps in this county which extend
from the ridge, which IS followed BY the
Thunderbolt road, TO the Vernon river,
has been going or. The ridge referred TO
divides the waters which flow northEard
and eastward into the Savannah and
, Warsaw rivers from tAose which flow
southwark into the Vernon and other ri
yers in that direction. This work was
inaugurz.ed soon after the epidemic
Of 1876 with tie object Of
improving the health Of Savannah
by draining the outlying swamps. What
could De accomplished by such work had
been previously demonstrated by the
drainage Of the Millen swamp, a morass
which had long been an obstruction 70 the
progress Of the city in a sOutheasterly
direction. The reclamation Of this swamp
nOt-OnlY gave 10 he city valuable tract
OF land upon which now stands some Of
its handsomest private residences, but
was productive-of excellent results from
a sanitary point Of view.
The success Of the Cuyler Swamp canal,
By which thousands Of acres of valuable
land have been reclaimed, and the health
Of the country ADJOINING improved, clearly
demonstrates the value of systematic
and intelligent drainage. II should be q
convincing argument in favor Of contin-
ing the system Of drainage so wisely be-
gun.
To do this great work properly it is ne
cessaTy that good typographical map Of
the county should be made BY competent
engineers. This map for other public
purposes should also embrace ali roads,
bridges. public works and private hold
ings. With such a map a system Of
county improvements could be devised
and carried out which would result in
the rapid development Of the agri-
Isuralresources of the county, improve
it, healthfumess, and in thai way aid in
building up Savannah. With the ada
cent country peopled with healthy and
industrious farmers, and made accessible
70 the city by good roads. our manufac-
turing industries and mercantile enter
prises would increase, and this increase
would be followed by rapid growth in
population.
The farmers would patrOnize the me-
chanic and merchant, and they in turn
would be buyers of the products Of the
farmer. Although the number OF small
farms in this county has increased con-
s:derably during the past ten years, the
farms, as yet, comprise but very small
fraction Of the coUnty's cu}tiyatable land.
With the county properly drained from
the Savannah to the Little Ogeechee, and
the public roads put in good order, there
Will be a large, healthy boom in the coun.
US farming interest.
The city viii not then be SO dependent
for its prosperity upon its commercial in
terests as it is now. Good drainage and
good roads viii do for the county what
the reclamation OF Millen swamp and the
opening Of streets has done for Savannah.
