1T is rarely the fortune of business
man to be able TO lay aside his business
cares while still in the prime Of life, and
retire upon competency, the result of
his individual efforts in legitimate
calling. 1t will be seen, however, by an
advertisement in to-day's paper that one
OF SavannAh's most enterprising and pub.
lic-spirited citizens, as well as most suc-
cessful merchants, Mr.. Samuel L. Ham,
iltOn, the jeweler, will retire from bust.
ness on Jan. l, and in the meantime pro-
poses TO dispose OF the immense and val.
liable stock in his well known establish
ment at auction.
Mr.. Hamilton started out, poor boy,
at the early aye OF II to make his fortune,
aud has by industry and good judgment
steadily worked his way up TO the
highest position in his line OF business
At the close OF the late war, in which he
served in the Confederate army, he found
that much OF the accumulations OF pre-
ylous years had disappeared. He came
10 savannah in 1866, and purchasing an
old established jewelry stand he soon
took the leading place in the business,
and secured large and lucrative trade.
Mr.. Hamilton's retirement will be re-
GREETED by his fellow citizens. 1t is som e
satisfaction, however, to know that he
does not propose to leave savannah, but
viii be still actively engaged In managing
the Electric Light Company, OF which he IL
President and Treasurer, aud In attending
to other similar trusts cOntded to his care.

tract bill into the Senate, to enable

TO work on their road.
Under the Bu,lingame treaty

wanted. This being the case. what
earthly use was there Of any bill
to legalize what was already allowed
under the Burlingame treaty?
Under this treaty the Chinese
Six Companies had bean importing
coolies by the thousands, and COM
polling the poor slaves to work
for them for four years to pay back
passage money, commissions, etc.
Stewards bill to restrict these
contracts to six months was not a
violation Of the treaty. and hence
constitutional. The Chinese Six
Companies could mike no money
out Of Chinaman On a six months
contract, hence they would not i'm
port him. The passage of the bill
wculd have practically put an end
TO the Chinese csolie contract sys

who charges Stewart with being a

be the entering wedge to driving
them out Of the COUNTRY. |,
