The Savannah River improvement

The Savannah River Improvement.
While Savannah is profoundly interested
in the Improvement of her harbor she does
NOT overlook the benefits which would
accrue to her from the improvement of the
Savannah river The Savannah River As
ISOLATION will meet in Augusta on Wadnes-
day and Thursday Of this week for the pur-
pose Of taking such steps as may be deemed
necessary to secure satisfactory appro-
priation for the improvement of the Ssvan-
nah river.
The river is a very considerable check
upon the railroads throughout a very large
extent Of country. With a navigable river
freight rates to the seaboard from all points
tributary to the river, and from the sea-
board to the same points, are certain to be
a great deal lower than il the river we re
not navigable.
The number of people interested in having
deep steamboat channel from Savannah
to Augusta is much greater than one would
suppose, and it is quite certain that the
meeting of the River association will be
we'll attended, and that great deal of very
earnest enthusiasm will be manifested.
| Considerable work has been done upon the
river, but much more needs to be done.
And whether much moro will be done or
not depends largely upon tine people who
are directly interested in the river.

English conservatives have at last fallen
upon one another just as the sagacious OBJ
servers of the press have thought and pre-
dicted they would do over the administration
of Irish affairs. and the chances are now that
with time and latitude enough they will
soon become as irreconcilably divided and
scattered as the Irish themselves are. Growth
ia that direction bids fair to put the grand
old leader of the liberals into the control OF
the government once more before he dies
Such an event would crafty the world in

Prior to the death of the late Editor
George Jones of the New York Times,
Editor Charles Dana of the Sun had not
failed to avail himself of every opportunity
that was presented TO violently vilify Mr..
Jones. To these malignant attacks Mr.
Jones rarely. if ever. made any reply
Whether Editor Dana could not resist the
temptation to hurl parting anatbema at
the corpse of the man he 80 furiously and
inpotently hated, or whether he simply
could not wait until he was decently con-
signed to his grave before attacking the spot
where he once stood, is left TO conjecture.
But the fact remains that Editor Dana al
lowed less than thirty-six hours to elspse
after MIR. Jones drew his last breath before
he launched rabid attack upon the Times.
Possibly this might have been q mere
coincidence But it is an unfortun ately
harsh coincidence which decent respect for
the dead should have prevented.

Presence OF mind is undeniably a very
valuable possession. 1t has secured many
great advantages for many people in varir
GUS emergencies. But it was never known
to cure a snake-bite until Pennsylvania
man at Williamsport tried it with satisfac>
tory results a few days ago. When William
Lightner was bitten by a rattler out in
Clearfeld county he had no remedies nor
assistance handy to relieve his pain. But
he held on to his calm presence of mind.
Instead of going into frenzy of alarm and
lying down to grunt and swell up, he coolly
drew out his penknife and cut out the
affected part, and th n proceeded to suck
all of the poison from the wound. That
done, he bandaged the injured wrist with q
handkerchief and went home. As result
he has had but little trouble with it. Cour-
age and GOODNESS always count. 81

What gleeful turmoil Paris does make
over one third-rate king. And he is not a
full grown king, either. But France has not
forgotten the old days of her magnificent
kings Gauls always loved king. So fond
of the tribe regal are they that the Adde'S
cent sovereign of Servia fairly sets them
wild with ecstatic joy. They even wanted
TO take out the horses and draw the kings
carriage. But the police interposed and
prevented it. Little more than so trivial
an incident is required to prompt the inn
petuously emotional French to overturn
the republic and set up a king of their own.
1t is a matter that the authorizes of Paris
will have to treat with the greatest caution
and firmness.

Vanrhn,a Schame.

Frederick Douglass, who has just resigned
the position Of minister to Hayti, has come
to the front to champion the bill which an
Omaha man, named Vaughn, had intros
duced into the last congress to pension all
of the ex-slaves. 1t was TO be expected
that Douglass would use what little infiu-
ence he has to promote Vaughn's scheme.
Vaughn intends to have the bill introduced
into this congress, aud if it meets with an
unfavorable reception he purposes, doubt
lees. to have it introduced into subsequent
congresses.
1t is not exactly clear what Vaughn's pro-
gramme is. 1t can hardly be that he expects
that congress will ever consent to pension
the ex-slaves, though the Republican party
has done 80 many unexpected things that it
would not be safe TO predict that it would
not be guilty of the supreme folly of put
ting the ex-slaves on the pension roll If it
should have the power TO do so.
But Vaughn expects, doubtless, to make
money out of his scheme whether the bill
becomes a law or not. II he should
get it before congress in such
a way as to attract the attention of the
country he would not have much difficulty
in collecting assessments from ex-slaves or
their children for the alleged purpose of
promoting the bill AS there are hundreds
of thousands of ex-slaves he would not be
long in accommodating a handsome fortune
if he should succeed in collecting 80 cents or
| 81 from each of a majority of them.
1t is not plain why he has interested
| Douglass in his scheme unless it is to induce
ex-saves to have confidence in him, because
| Douglass has no influence with congress.
| What little influence he had with the re-
publican leaders he lost by his failure to
accomplish anything in Hayti He proved
himself totally unfit for the Haytian mis-
sion. and his resignation was received by
| the President with feelings akin to joy.
| Douglass is a political dead duck, and il
is fair to presume, therefore, that Vaughn
got him to indorse his scheme for no other
| purpose than to gain the confidence OF the
ex-slaves. There is much more probability
that the ex-slaves will be called on for small
contributions than that they will get pen
| sions.

murder of his wife by poison because of his
infatuation for neighbours wife whom he
had debauched when engaged to attend her
professionally. If there is a man in the
state of Virginia who deserves to hang that
man is this same DR.. Baker. When a man
has been admitted into the family circle
upon the confidential footing that physi-
clan is permitted to assume and then takes
advantage of the confding weakness of
womanhood rendered more frail by phys

confidence reposed in him and avail himself
of his professional knowledge to debauch
his patients, there is no Characterization ade-
quate to describe his dastardly conduct and
no penalty sufficiently severe to properly
punish it.
