FOR A HARBOR OF REFUGE.
The Savannah Cotton Exchanges
Memorial to Congress.

The recent action of the cotton ex-
change and board of trade urging the
establishment of a harbor of refuge on
the South Atlantic coast was transmit
ted to the Georgia senators and congress-
men yesterday in the shape of the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, the Savannah Cotton Exchange
is fully aware of the fact that for stretch
of over two hundred and fifty miles Of
coast line between Cape Henry and Sa-
vannah, there is no harbOr of refuge
for vessels in case of peril or distress,
and that the entire coastwise commerce
of the South and the North Atlantic ports
is constantly exposed to loss, when pass
ing along this dangerous line extending
from Cape Fear to Cape Henry.
And, whereas, a resolution intended to
remedy this evil having been introduced
in congress by Representative Low of
New York,
Resolved, by this exchange, That our
senators and representatives in congress
are hereby earnestly requested to give
their support to this measure and to urge
its early passage.

n Days Outing.

A party Of aldermen and city officials
visited the quarantine station yesterday
for the purpose of inspecting the condi-
ton Of the citys property there.
Mayor Myers thought it would be
good idea for those OF the aldermen who
have never visited quarantine to do so,
and that it would be a good idea also
for the new commissioners as we'll to
get some idea of the city's work there.
The party was not as large as was ex-
pected as some of the officials could not
go. Clerk of Council Manucy chaperon-
ed the party, as Mayor Myers could not
spare the time to make the trip. Among

The city tug Theckla left the exchange
at 1870 o'clock with the party aboard. A
very pleasant day was spent. DIR. Linley,
the quarantine officer, had provided an
abundant oyster roast and Clerk Manu-
cy had thoughtfully provided some sand
witches and lemonade. 1t was nearly
night when the party arrived back at the
city.
