clusively responsible for its use in Mr.

in the last degree. Mr.. Cleveland

The descent of Mr.. w. X. Vanderbilt
on our Southern coast may mean the
capture of our outlying islands by
Northern nabobs. Mr.. Thomas Carne-
gle mot Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. as is
enormously printed) is already in
trenched on the southern end of Cum
berland. in the ancient home of the
Graenes. He has retouched the incom-
parable avenues and rose-gardens of
Dungeness at cost of $4,000, and is
said to have spent Sl50,000 in restoring
the mansion and grounds. There, amid
his orange-groves and live oaks, he has
home worthy of Prince. Both Jay
Gould and James Gordon Bennett have
cruised along the Georgia coast and
looked with longing eyes on the beauti-
full isles that stand between it and the
sea.
Jekyll's Island, which Mr.. and Mrs.
Vanderbilt rode 1000 miles to see, is
one of the smallest on the coast, measur-
ing about seven miles in length and
averaging two in width. Its climate is
perfect. St. Simon's on the north and
Cumberland on the south sheltering il
from boisterous winds. 1t fronts Bruins
wick, and stands high and clear above
the sea. The growth is live-oak and
palmettoes. Oranges thrive on the is
land and the grass is luxuriant Jekyll's
was the point selected by the slave-ship
Wanderer for landing It's cargo of
slaves. have heard men tell of visit
ing the island that year and seeing
hundreds of wild Africans ducking and
scurrying amid the long grass A force
of canoes deported them rapidly from
Jekyll's to neighboring islands and
mainland, and when the Wanderer was
captured less than hundred of the
slaves were found there.
Jekyll's now belongs to Mr.. John Du
Bignon, and is used mainly for grazing
purposes. If Mr.. Vanderbilt buys it
wonderful transformation may be ex-
pected He inherited $50,000,000 in
one block from his father. and is good
for as much more. His wife is the leader
of all the Vanderblts in fashion. 1t
was she who spent $4,000 on a single
ball two seasons ago. When she joins
her husband in making of Jekyll's q
winter home. where spring reigns per-
petually, fashionable train will follow.
and the inland waters of our coast will
sparkle with yachts. atlanta (GG.)

COMMUNICATED
"a Hole In the Treasury Filled

EDITOR CLARION: In The DAILY
CLARION, of January II, appears an
article under the title of "a Hole in
the Treasury" signed by Junius. From
the ready facility with which the writer
quotes section after section of the laws
relating to the Penitentiary, we would,
at first blush, suppose that he was Il
lawyer, but this opinion undergoes II
wonderful transformation when we are
advised o! his seemingly utter ignorance
that the Peutentiary was leased under
the laws in force in 1880 aud that the
contract of lease had six years to run
and was made under the laws then in
force, and that any act of the Legisla
ture passed during the continuance of
that contract, the provisions of which
coutliCtcd with its terms except for
police, would be utterly null aud void
Il dead letter on the statute books of the
State.
That part of section g. of the act of
January 81, 1877, which the writer
quotes so glibly, reads: "and said
amount o. hire due the S'ate"-that is
the amount of hire due by the lessees
for the peuitentiary and convicts-"shaIl
not be expended and appropriated for
any purpose whatever, except as herein
described and that was for the repair
and improvement of the penitentiary
This law was in iull force and effect
at the time the contract of lease
was made with Hamilton, Allen & Co.,
and was made part of their contract,
as the following language will show
see contract of tease, section Z, conclud.
ing portion, which reads: "and any ex.
cess of rent or hire due by said lessees"
that is, after purchasing machinery,
etc. "shall be used and expended rs now
authorized by law" and section s of said
contract, first part, reads "Said lessees
bind themselves, their heirs aud as
signs, that they will well and truly
and faithfully abide by and carry
into effect the lars noe ia force If
The Sta:c of Mississippi, in relation
to the said pententiary" As above
stated, the law expressly provided
that such exc IS OF balance should be
devoted to no other purpose than the
improvement of the penitentiary prop
erty. Had the leSsees so elected. they
/ could have said in 1888, 1--WE are due
SSS. 9i4,SS on the lease for 1882. and are
ready to make such improvements as
may directed under the law and our con
tract, to that amount" They might
have said the same in 1884 and in 1885;
II all of which they would have complied
with the law aud their contract. both in
letterand in spirit, They decided to do
otherwise, and made such repairs and i'm.
provements as were necessary, and paid
iato the State treasury, in all, the sum
of $5S 500 90 cash
1t is true that the Legislature did. on
March II, 1884, pass an act repeating

"a Mess of Shrimp"

The Legislature was served with q
mess of shrimp last Friday by Messrs.
Elmer and McRae and were highly en-.
tertained over the feast Mr.. Elmer in
troduced bill to repeal the shrimp law.
Mr.. McRae offered an amendment that
the bill should not apply to Jackson
county. The merits of the shrimp BUSH
ness were ably discussed by both gentle.
men, who were listened to with the ut
most attention, and finally the whole
thing was referred to the Judiciary COM
mittee. The result will probably be that
the fishermen will be prohibited from
hauling their seines upon the shore, and
the size of the meshes of the seine will
be regulated by law. The House was
about equally divided on the question,
as both of the gentlemen are quite popu-
lar. Col McRac holds bis own brayely

bad cold, gives strict attention to his
