Yachts to Enter.
The Savannah Yacht Club will hold an
other regatta on Tuesday, June I, from
the club house at Thunderbolt. This was
decided upon at a meeting of the sailing
committee yesterday morning. IL was also
decided to sail over a shorter course this
dime. making two trips, instead of one,
so that the whole race may be witnessed
from the club house, thus dispensing with
the necessity of having a steamer TO fol-
low the boats.
The money. prizes will be smaller than
formerly, but champion pennants will also
be awarded to the winners in the several
classes.
Several new yachts will make their
debut in the next race. Mr.. Fred Saus-
sy's Nassau and Mr.. Joe Kuorlns Geor-
gia Will be entered in the diamond-bot-
tom class. These two yachts have very
recently been completed, and are being
put in good trim for the contest. Mr.. T..

clusions with her sister craft
The three skip-jacks will have another
chance to show which is the heetest. The
Amorita has been changed from a sloop
to a cat-boat. and while the Avon is now
transformed from a cat-boat into sloop.
The cabin cat-boats Catherine and Sham~

inadequate to steer by.
An invitation from the Carolina Yacht

local yachts will run over to participate
in the regatta The invitation was for

REPLY TO COZ. WRIGHT.
Bingham Grand Jury's Position
Relative to the New JudGeship.

Relative to the New JudEeshfp.
Editor Morning News: The letter of Col.
H. G.. Wright appearing in your issue of
last Sunday seems to require a reply from
the grand jury of Efingham, and as fore
man of the late body feel that the duty
is upon me. Because Col.
Wright and myself have ever
been friends, and for fear that some
expression of mine may wound his sensi.
tive spirit, l reluctantly undertake to per-
form the task allotted me by the circum-
stances.
In the first place, the people are led to
suppose that the spirit of Home Rule
is new thing in bingham, and that the
stolid old Saltzbufger only awal1es to the
principle when it suits the convenience
and end of some designing person who
wishes TO proht by this new zeal and
what in some would be a virtue, a guard
to the first principles of liberty, is made
TO appear a vice, since it is compared 10
prejudice and jealousy. wicked and dam
gerous things to toy with"
The people of Efiingham are true Demo
Gratis, by birth, education and practice
and the principle of local self government,
narrowed down to home rule is not an
issue of to-day only. In all history, from
the dark days of religious prosecutions,
when they fled to free America to enjoy
this right, as colonists, throwing off for
elgn rule, and, as state right adherents,
keeping the Federal power in check, they
have guarded this principle with a jeal-
Gus care. In the old Eastern Circuit they
would have opposed an Atlanta man for
judge of its courts as strongly as they
now oppose the man from the Eastern Cir
cult.
We recognize Mr.. Cam as a gentleman
and lawyer of ability and the opposition to
him is solely because the new district
wants to honor one of it's own citizens
Now, as to the Endorsement of Mr.. Sea-
brook; The Endorsement which was voted
on by the grand jury was as follows: Be
ieying in the principles Of self-government
and reducing that principle to its first
analysis, home rule" we indorse for
judge of the Atlantic circuit, citizen liv-
ing within the bound OF said circuit. A
man capable and just we find in our cs-
teemed fellow citizen Paul e. seabrooS.
and We endorse him for the place.
This last sentence was left off bv the
clerk, but it was considered not Import
ant, the endorsement without conoli-
ments, being thought sufficient. But

a lack of all qualities except citizenshinf

The Colonel thinks that these men. for

INTO error by two or three Interested ones
ana two or three heelers. The question
OF endorsing Messrs. Seabrook and Kenan
was not sprung on the members of this
jury in day, for most, if not all of the
jurymen were approached days and weeks
before the meeting OF the body, ana as
| intelligent men arrived at their own CON
ciuson-we must suppose.
The colonel seems 10 be man who
must have precedent, and cites the case
of the Stone Mountain Circuit where the
judge Is resident of Atlanta. Another
precedent was given to certain members
OF the jury, that Of Bryan not endorsing
any one for the judgeship. We are in
formed that the colonel used this precedent
at Springfield, but without effect. Follow
ing precedence blindly is a dangerous
: thing. Principle and circumstances should
always control us; and If the people of
the Stone Mountain circuit want a certain
man for judge, even If he does live in At
lanta, We do not object If we did not
have competent citizen in the Atlantic
circuit asking for the place we would be

Ex-Fire Commissioners Grayson and
Nell.

Editor Morning News: The question Is
frequently asked on the streets If the en-
hstment of Messrs Grayson and Nell In
the volunteer service Of the United states
vacated their Offices as fire commissioners
and required that City Council should de-
clare them vacant and proceed to elect
their successors. 1t has been stated that
the city attorney 50 advised, and that
Council had no discretion In the matter.
1t has been intimated, too, that had Coun-
ell possessed the power to do so II would
have granted these gentlemen the sixty
days leave of absence applied for by them
Without knowing exactly what was the
opinion OF the city attorney l submit that
the law did not require Council take such
action. 1t Is true that under the law
Council had the right to declare these
Offices vacant, but 1t was not compelled to
do so, and had 1t seen fit to grant the
leaves OF absence these officers would
have remained do facto commissioners
The constitution Of the state
of Georgia declares that the
following persons are held and deemed
ineligible 10 hold any civil office in this
state and the existence of either OF the
following states of facts Is q sufficient
reason for vacatng any Office held by such
person, but the acts of such persons while
holding a commission are valid as
the acts OF an officer de facto.
Among others coming under this
class are persons holding any ONCE Of
profit or trust under the government of the
United States or OF either of the several
states or of any foreign state. II Is un-
questionaby true that had these gentle
men enlisted prior to their appointment as
fire commissioners they would have been
ineligible, and il is equally true that their
subsequent enlistment Is a legal reason for
declaring their offices vacant but the ques-
ton is not whether Council had the right
to do so, but whether 1t was required to do
So II will be noted that persons holding
any Office of profit or trust under the Unit
ed States government stand on the same
footing as those holding such an office I'M
der the state government, and yet Mayor
Meldrim for more than a year has been
drawing the salary of Mayor and as
member OF the general assembly of Geor-
gia. 1t is strange that 1t never occurred
to the City Council, when they granted
him a leave of absence with such a -four
ish Of trumpets, that they were violating
the constitution Of the state. Again, sit is
