0WARDA MILLIONBALES
sAVANNARs COTTON RECEIPTS
so FAR See, 9e4 BALES.

The Big Receipts Of 1878 Sur
passed, and Over Five Months Yet
Before the Season Closes-Savan-
nah's Receipts Greater Than the Re-
ceipts of the Combined Virginia
Ports-A Busy Season All Around.
Prices High.
Savannah has beaten her greatest record
in cotton receipts already. Previous to this
season the greatest amount Of cotton ever
received at this port was during the season
OK lSS7-'SS. From Sept. to Aug 81 of that
season the total receipts were SOS, 535
bales.
Savannah's receipts thus far this season
have reached the enormous total of S99, s9i
bales, and there are yet five and half
months before the year closes. What the
receipts will be is only a matter Of con-
lecture. They may possibly reach 1000. 600
bales. At all events the total will not fall
far short of that.
The season has dem onstrated that Savan-
nan can handle cotton better than any
other Atlantic port, otherwise the cotton
woSld not come here. The facilities OF the
port have at all times been equal to The
1865 HOANy OSSch>A ny SLC hCdNN IT,
ceipts and Accumulated stock. The season
has been an unprecedented one in all re-
spects, and the results show that the port IS
second to none as an initial port, and has
been the most available point for shipping
cotton OF all the ports
1t IS singular fact that Savannah's cot
ton receipts have far surpassed the Vir-
gina ports combined for the first time in
several years. While New Orleans, Calves
ton and Savannah have shown heavy in
crease in receipts. the receipts of the Vir-
GINA ports, Wilmington and Charleston
nave shown remarkably heavy decr ca ses,
and are behind their records Of the previous
season.
Another remarkable thing about the pres
Nent season is that the business has kept up
SO long aud so steadily. and prices have been
50 satisfactory, having ruled comparatively
high throughout the entire Sc ison.
Tramp steamers have not yet ceased call
ing for cotton, and one, the Orba, is ex-
pec5ed to arrive at any time to take on a
cargo for Barcelona, having been chartered
for April clearance, the latest time which a
steamer was ever known to clear with cot-
ton from Savannah for a foreign port.

ard it is believed that the court was not

JUDGE FALLIGANT's DECISION.
The counsel for the bankers and city did
not read to the court the decision Of Judge
Failigant, who gave lengthy opinion favor
ing differential tax on properly divided
into species. and yet held. under the Verdery
decision, that tbs tax ordinance was con-

court IN the Weed case. given one day after
IL was argued, is construed as showing that
ir had made such an exhaustive investi-
cation Of the Verdery case that it was not
deemed necessary to waste tims in the
Weed case. To the surprise of all the de-
cision, which was not looked for for some
days, was promptly rendered at the first
sitting Of tie court
City Attorney Adams, when the suit was
suggested, stated that it was question of
extreme dou1t If the supreme court would
reverse itself, a thing, he said, which had
rarely been done in any courts of last re-
sort except where the personnel of the court
bad undergone change, and the result has
justified the correctness Of his prediction.

and mercantile interests desired, is ac-
copied gracefully, and especially 50 as the

Hon. William Clifton was much i'm
proved yesterday, and in the after
noon when a MORNING News re-

up by visit from some of his
Tattnall county friends, insisted on having
something to say about the Savannah and

ley, on the Savannah and Western, last
Thursday morning. This train brought
some of the most prominent people from
that section of the country, among the num-
Der Hon. and Mrs. T. J. Edwards, Mrs Ken

Conley and NJ. j. Green and his accom-
plished daughter from Bulloch county.
The people Of Tattnall and bulloch are de.

go some distance to Euphaupee for guano

"Conley," said Mr.. Clifton, sis healthy
place, with picturesque scenery, and is
named from an eminent Methodist minister
who at one time resided in Tattnall county.
1t is safe to say that Tattnall county, the
home OF happy and prosperous people, will
furnish as much business for Savannah and
the new road as any county on the line.n
