It viii be seen from the above that
certain items for which assessments are
made necessary by law aggregate 1892
900, while the total budget is S222, $50.
The levy is to be made only TO cover the
hrst amount $4,000 or to be more
exact, the amount which will be collect
ed by the levy will be s191. 25132, it having
been reduced by about 800 in order to
avoid the small fraction which would
have been necessary in the rate should
1t have been collected fEr an even
S192 0OO
The balance. $9O,55O, which will be need
ed to complete the amount required
by the budget. will be raised from back
taxes and from railroad taxes. The
budget as approved by the grand jury Of
the spring term of the superb
or court amounted to S225.O0O
SO it win be seen hat the commissioners
have cut It down by g. 49, This rate Of
$3.50 per $1,000 the commissioners have
been enabled to make too, in spite of the
fact that there is S600,000 less Of taxable
property than was the case last year
Most of the expenditures in the budget
are required by law. This is true espec-
tally of those items included in the
amount, as will be seen above to raise
which the levy will be made The appro-
priations for the county chain-gang. Jail
superior and city courts, roads and
bridges, public schools, county poor and
interest on bonds, are all required by law.
The claim has been made that the ex-
penditures on the drainage work are e2-
travagant and that 1t is costing the county
more than the work is really worth.
The appropriation for the support of the
county chain-gang is required by law.
one of the commissioners said: I'VE have
got to support the convicts whether they
work or not, and experience has shown
that such support costs about $1,000 a
year 1t is possible that If the convicts
were not at work their support might cost
as much as 10 per cent. less, but IL costs
about that amount anyhow. Then, by ex-
pending little more about $500, which
is the amount appropriated for drainage
we are able TO get work out of them, which
is undoubtedly equal in value to the total
amount paid out.
1--WE are also allowed by law to collect
as much as $20,500 for the county poor
but this year the amount has been cut
down to $4,000. There are few items in
the budget this year mat we could have
avoided making appropriations for under
any circumstances.
1t Is believed now that the resignation
Of Maj. r. 4. Blandford the county engi-
neer, which Is now in the hands Of Com
missioner Charlton. will be accepted by
the commissioners at their meeting, with
the proviso that IL take effect as soon as
his successor shall have been elected.
There VIII be no election at the September
meeting and IL is said, there may not be
one for some time to come. 1t remains
to be seen, however, what course the mat
ter will take.

WATCHING THE RACES.
savannahians Very Much Interested
I'm the Success of the Defender.

SavannahiRns Very Much Interested
in che Success of the Defender.
The progress Of the second race between
the British yacht Valkyrie and the Amer
lean yacht Defender was eagerly watched
in Savannah yesterday. The interest in
yesterdays race seemed to be equally as
great as in the first race between the
yachts. Probably the interest was increas-
ed by the report that the British yacht
was beating the American and the crowds
remained at the bulletin boards in the
hope of receiving news that things had
changed In favor Of the yankee boat.
The Morning News had out two bulletin
boards, giving the reports as sent out
both by the Southern Associated Press
and the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. Crowds thronged the sidewalk in
front Of both boards. going from one to
the other whenever a new bulletin was
posted. Large crowds also watched the
bulletins as they were posted in front Of
the Western Union Office. Bulletins were
also received at the cotton exchange and
other places. There was great dlssatisfac-
ton expressed as the race progressed and
there was no change reported in the posi-
ton OF the two boats.
The accident to the Defender In the be-
ginning Of the race was discounted by
the crowds OF her admirers who seemed
to think her capable Of accomplishing
anything. Their only consolation was the
handsome manner in which the Defender
closed up with her rival at the conclusion
Of the race. The general opinion was that
the race should not stand on the ground
that the Defender was fouled by the Val
kyrie. Some OF the more experienced
sportsmen expressed the opinion that il
was a good thing for the Nalkyrie to win
the second race as IL would keep the in
terest in the remainder of the contest at
white heat. Savannah's lovers of sport are
certainly American to the core Their
sympathies are all with the Defender and
while there is a few of them the hackers
of the Nalkyrie are rather hard to find.

CAN YET BE or MARBLE.
Col. Lester Thinks the Public Build
ing Contract VIII BE Changed.

ing Contract VIII BE Changed.
Congressman Rufus Il. Lester returned
yesterday from Washington. where he
has been for the last week looking after
the matter Of the public building and GER
tain changes that are needed in the
range lights along the river channel.
Col. Lester was asked whether the report
that the present contract for brick and
stone in the public building would have
to stand was true.
1T is possible Col Lester said, that
the present contract Will never be car
ried out, and l think we will arrange yet
TO have the building of marble. That is
about all I can say at present. How II
will be done is another matter, but l am
confident that Secretary carlisle win do
all in his power to have the building put
up in marble.
IF there is some delay in the work.
/ do not think there VIII be any doubt
at all about changing the contract, and
there is no reason why there should not
be. 1 think the people would rather
wait a short while and have a marble
building than TO have 1t put up now
Of brick and stone.'
What about the report from Washing
ton that it might have been of marble
II the wishes Of Savannah's citizens had
had been made known earlier and the
matter pushed?" was asked.
THAT is nothing but talk" Col. Lester
said. THE wishes of the Savannah
people were made known more than a
year ago, and persisted efforts have been
made all along to have the building con-
struoted Of marble. There is no reason
why the contract should not have been
given for marble. There is plenty of
money on hand TO put up the marble
superstructure, and an additional ap-
preparation could have been secured to
complete the interior of the building It
may be that the matter can be remedied
by arranging to give the contract to
Messrs. Miles and Bradt on a basis of
marble. However, that viii all come
about In time.

NOT A HAPPY LOT.
Another Report of Misfortunes From
the Liberian CoIOnfsts.

Another Report of Misfortunes From
the Liberian CoIOnists.
Every now and then there comes a report
from some of the negro colonists in Libe-
ria, who left Savannah last spring on the
steamer Horsa. The accounts of their con-
dition there are not very glowing ones
either.
A dispatch from London, England. gives
the following account of what some of
Them are undergoing there:
"A. f. Burnett and H. Jumper, Ameri-
can negroes, arrived at Southampton on
the steamer Tagar with a mournful story
of the fate of a party of negro colonists
with whom they left Savannah. Ga. March
10, for Liberia. OF the 2l1 negroes who
comprised the company only two secured
work in Monrovia. Half the number died
of fever, aggravated by privation. the
remainder, excepting few who were too
i'll to travel, made their way toward the
coast in hope Of finding means Of returning
to America.
The International Emigra ton Society
of Birmingham, Ala, which organized
the colony and undertook to furnish it's
members with three months rations after
landing IN Liberia, failed to fulfill its
promises, 50 Burnett and Jumper say.
The colonists were dumped on the coast
and left to perish. Burnett had sufficient
money with him to pay his passage TO
England and assist his comrade, who had
been stricken with fever. Both men are
new destitute.
"They say that II ever they are able to
get back 10 America they win enlighten
their unhappy race there on the subject
of African colonization schemes.

again. This time bail in trover action
has been taken out against him in Jus

traded il off for horse. Neither Booz
nor the horse have been heard from since.
It is supposed he has gone into the coun-
try, though there was report out that
ne had left for Texas. 1t is also stated
that he collected about $40 for Hirsch.
which has never been accounted for and
that Hirsch viii take some action in the
matter. Constable Hartigan did not find

q disparity between the suggested fire in
the lines and the actual fire in the elocu-
ton on the part OF the wife Of the weak
and rascally old minister Of police. who
finally got his deserts. But inasmuch as
everything was new, that wasn't much

Baron Constantln de Grimm, the famous
Russian artist. very materially added TO
the realism Of the drama. and, with the
excellent stage settings, produced series
Of beautiful pictures illustrative Of life in
