Brunswick, Ca, Dec. 3.-Congress-
man Brantley left tonight for WASH
ington. II do not anticipate any gem
eral legislation of any very great i'm
portance. outside of the appropriation
bills at the approaching short session
of Congress-" he said. THE same APP
preparation bills that are passed at the
long session have to be passed at the
short session, and the time will be
too limited to transact much other
business. look to see the Stand Pat
ters' in the Republican party win out
against the effort that is being made
to revise the tariff. The logic of the
situation is with them. The Republic
can party was overwhelmingly return
ed TO power on the present tariff.
1T is greatly to be desired that the
President modify or recede from his
pronounced position on the race prob
lem in the South. as manifested in his
utterances heretofore. and in the APP
pointments he has made. l have seen
absolutely nothing, however, emanat-
ing directly, or indirectly from him
that he will do so.
the BrunsWIck buFDOFs
There are many matters Of local in
terest to be disposed of at the APP
preaching session said Congressman
Brantley. brunswick, under the rules
governing such matters, is not entl-
tied to any appropriation for improve
ments of the inner harbor. or the out
err harbor. The only appropriation we
can ask for for this purpose Is for
maintenance. The district engineer
estimated $4,000 for this purpose, but
the chief OF engineers, most unfortu-
nately. and as / think most unwisely,
has reduced this estimate to $4,000,
and has recommended to Congress that
this latter amount Is sufficient. / hope
to see provision made for a survey to
obtain thirty feet Of water I'm the har-
Dor and on the bar. It has been esti-
mated that the Club and Plantation
Creek canal will cost $4,000, and the
chief Of engineers has recommended
that this amount be appropriated for
this purpose. / hope the opposition,
heretofore, manifested against this ca
nal, has abated, and that we can get
the appropriation without serious diff
Guilty.

that $4,000 should be expended upon IL

neers has reduced this, however, to

THE Altamaha river had $4,000
estimated for it, but this amount was
reduced In the office OF the chief of
engineers to $4,000
"The Oconee river was likewise es-
timated at $4,000. but In the same
way this was reduced TO $4,000. The
amounts recommended by the chief of
engineers are totally inadequate for
the purpose.
