THE ARsENAL BONDS.

An issue of $4,000 Authorized by the
Savannah Volunteer Guards Battalion.
1t is understood that the building com
mittee will at the regular June meeting
Of the Savannah Volunteer Guards pre-
sent the scheme for bonds to be adopted
by the corps. The bonds will bear six per
cent. interest, payable semi-annually, and
the authorized issue will probably be
$25, 900, of which as many will be used as
may be necessary.
The corps will have put into the build
ing about $4,000 before using the money
from the bonds, which will mostly be Of
large denominations, with some small If
1t be desired. They will probably run for
twenty-five years, but with the right to
the corps after three years to call them
in by lot.
They will be secured by mortgage upon
| the arsenal property, which will be worth
over 100000, mortgage to trustees Sc
lected by bOndholders, as allowed by the
fourth section Of the act of the General
Assembly providing for the sale Of the
arsenal property. Not only will they be
secured by mortgage, but the corporation
Of the Savannah Volunteer Guards
is perpetually exempt from taxa

Savannah Volunteer Guards shall i'm
mediately execute bond in the sum Of
said mortgage debt. with good security,

cessnrs, to be approved bv said Governor,
conditioned that the net revenue of
said property, over and above the
cost OF insurance and repairs, shall be
| applied to the reduction of said mortgage
nH nd oil
and in addition to said security, If the
corps shall not perform the condition of
said bond, the State shall have the right
to re-enter upon said property, upon as
Stunning said mortgage debt, and said the
savannah Volunteer Guards shall keep
said property insured against loss or
damage by fire, and in the event OF such
loss or damage shall rebuild or repair the
same in as good condition as before said
tres" so that an immediate sinking fund
is created, which, it is said, will be mini
mum, $1,000 annually, and as much more
as circumstances will permit. The prOr-
erty will be kept insured up to the last
cent possible, and policies assigned to
protect the trustees Of the bondhOlders.
The property is in the Guards in fee
simple, but the corps in presenting the
bin to the Legislature put in these clauses
as to mortgage, sinking fund and insur-
ance to make bOndholders feel absolutely
secure. 1t is hardly matter OF public
spirit, but OF good investment for those
who desire to invest, as such securities
are seldom thrown around corporate
obligations. The building speaks for it.
self, and is the beat argument the Guards
could have in rendering their bonds to the
public.
The erection Of the structure has stimuli
lated enterprise, benefited property in
that part OF the city, and the great bulk
OF the cost Of the same is distributed at
home.

longest one completed. The new dam
being built from quarantine TO Turtle
Island will be the longest when 1t is COM
pleted. This dam shuts off the North
channel, ana all craft will have to take
the southern course hereafter.
The shoal below quarantine is being
rapidly improved. Work was begun on
it in March. Since the point at the spar

Kind Words for Judge Erskine.

from me & 6OdH0 Lao VOuT10G.
Judges are differently treated in differ
ent communities, and by different classes.
The venerable and learned Judge Cooley
is dropped at the caprice or passion of
the elect0rs-the bar would have kept
him. On the other hand ex-Judge Frs
kline, of the Georgia Federal circuits. is
the recipient of a double and perhaps I'M
precedented honor in his voluntary retire
ment. Appointed by President johnson,
at time when it was always a disgrace
for Southern citizen to accept Federal
Office, and almost crime to be a Repub-
lican there, he, Republican, acted so
uprightly and imPartally, and exhibited
such learning and industry that the law
yers Of the Northern district, without re-
gard to politics, procured his portrait for
the Atlanta court room, on his resigna-
ton, and now similar honor is conferred
by those Of Savannah. ANY true lawyer
would deem such adual distinction worth
the labor of a life. We have spoken Of
Judge Erskine before. We need only
now refer to his case as an exception to
the rule of the prophet at home. AS a
poet unknown to fame says:
'',ris sweet TO be beloved, know,
But solemn, thus to be reVered."
