Gay n1Orffl1R-
The legislature has adjourned and there
is nothing in the way now Of the visit to
Savannah this week.
The committee having in charge
the reception and entertainment Of
the visitors has about perfected the
arrangements for the reception of the dis
| tinguished guests. President Bloodworth
| OF the cotton exchange, chairman OF the
| invitation committee, and Secretary Re-
barer OF the general committee say that
about $50 of the invitations sent out have
been accepted, and the prospects are now
that a very large delegation will be here.
Arrangements have been made with the
hotels for the accommodation Of the visl-
tOrs. The Pulaski house had arranged TO mt
Up parlors for Gov. Gordon aud his staff;
the room to be decorated with the national
colors ana with state flags. The parlors
were TO have been on the second
| floor, and fronting Bryan street. The
hotel itself will be decorated with flags
and festooned with bunting.
The Pulaski house has agreed to accom-
modate 100 guests, and more II possible,
the present improvements ia the hotel cur
failing to some extent its capacity.
The Screven house has agreed to accom-
modate seventy-6ve guests and the Mar
shall house has also agreed to accommodate
from fifty to seventy-hve.
Quite a number OF letters Of acceptance
have been received from distinguished citi-
gems Of the state, and it is regretted that
Senator Brown will be unable to be present.
He has acknowledged the invitation in
the following letter, addressed to the chair
man of the general COMMITTEES:
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 6, 1880

The plan of an entertainment at the Chat
hams club house at Tybee, Tuesday after
noon, for the visitors, has been abandoned.
IL was decided that the crowd will be too
large to disembark at South End to remain
as long as it would need to
remain If reception we're given.
1t is the purpose of the visit to Tybee to
show the North Georgians the island and
the splendid beach, and to do this will re-
quire some time. A trip to South End viii,
however, be made, and the party will be
allowed to spend short time there.
( THE club house will be open to the visitors,
and they will be shown through the place
and will view the island from the club house
observatory. 1t is estimated 600 people will
form the party to Tybee.
