LEV MLR KAD E D VIE W S Respecting: a Bile l'or tle Public Building. Editor Morning yews: It is currently reported that the Cotton Exchange, or a commlttea appointed by that body, is using every effort and influence to nave the new public building located on Bay streetor an adjoining street. A few mem bers of that body areunder the impression that they are “the city of Savannah,” when toe facts are that they form but a small part of it. Tne membership is probably 150—one-thlnl ol that num ber spend only a few months in Sa vannah and have but very little business with tbe post offloo except receiving and sending a few let ters, and none at all with the United States Courts, It is a well known fact that the cotton business, executing bro kers and buyers, is monopolized by a half dozen firms, and for six months in tke year Bav street is a dead street, except lor a few hours in tbe day, and is a thor oughfare on which but few ladies ever walk. The site for the public building should be in the vicinity of Broughton street, or even further south, so as to have it near the principal business thorough fare. it should combine certain advan tages, proximity to business and a quiet neighborhood, one free from the rattle ot vehicles. In mv opinion, either the lots on Whitaker, Barnard and President streets, or those on the corner ot Bull and South Broad streets are tho proper loca tion. If the first named site should tie selected the post office could be on Whita ker street or occupy all ot *h first story, and the United States court, rooms could front Tlfa)r Place, where there is little if any business and no noise. That site is only 240 foet from Broughton street. Tho only objection to the next beat site offered, namely, that, on corner of Bull and South Broad, is that it is a little too far from the present business centre oi the city. Broughton Street. That New Government Building. Editor Morning yews: I have care fully read your editorial in your issue of Oct. 8, as well as some previous articles on the same subject,, relative to the site for the pronnsed new government build ing in this city, aud believing with many other citizens that the location that you advocate is not bv any means the most desirable one that can tie secured, I beg respectfully to express some views on the subleot. If. as you say, the locations on Bryan street be objectionable for court purposes on account of the noise ol passing vehicles, the same objec tion can lie urged to the Whitaker street lot in a greater degree, as. in addi tion to the passage of wagon*, etc., there are street ear lines on two sides of if, and no asphalt or other pavement can prevent the jarring of such ears or drown the noise of their bells. If tho building has to be located south of Brouehtou street— which I think would be a great mistake tnere nan hardly be a doubt ns to the su periority of the location corner Bull and South Broad streets over the one you ad vocate, and if a lot of the size and shane of the Whitaker street one he suitable, would not the one at present occupied by the court house answer the purpose better? Besides, if offered to and accepted by the government, it would give us an opportunity to get. what we sadly want—a suitable court house and oity bail enm -1 Mned—say on the barracks or ceme tery lots. 1 would now nsk why should we locate a post office away from those whoso business corn pit* them to go or scud to it. sev eral times a day St. .Lilian street is the present, and likely to be the future, centre of tbe business part of the city, even though tue park or further south may be come the centre of its population, and justice to tbe entire business interests of the city sheuld require that if a suitable location uear this centre —say between Broughton aud Bay and Draylon and Wnitaker m reets—can be obtained, it should cer tainly he secured. Ido not think that I err in saying that seven-eighths of ail Hie mail matter oomlng Into or going out of the city Is lor parties doing business or residing from Broughton street north, nd tbe bulk ofttii* Is for concerns on tho Bay, ami is delivered at the post office through private boxes, which suits our merchants better than the carrier system. As uearl v all the ninil (or parties south of Broughton street is delivered t>y car riers, and nil mail from same sec turn is, nr can he deposited in boxes conveniently located through out that, section, and postage stamps can be obtained at nearly every drug store, there Is very little necessity for ladies visiting the post office, am] hence its location north of Broughton street can not be a* serious an inconvenience to thorn as its location smith of Broughton street would be for business men on the Bay. who have to send to It several times “adh day. We should follow the example of New York and other large citi.-s In keep ing our post. office ns near our business centre as possible, and bv doing so accom modate those who most us“ it. Bat Street.

KNIGHTS OP LABOR SPL.T ON THEIR TICKET. ttow tbe r onp ilcu is Managed—Tbe Knight*’ Political Club—An Effort, to Took a Kdlsbt of 1-sUor C*ndUl*te on tne Regular Democratic Ticket. The political campaign, whioh has been in lull blast for the past week, has got hut a short time to live. The Issue on the legislative ticket will be decided Wednes day and will have an important bearing on the campaign whioh will be inaugu rated lor the city and county elections. The contest which is now going on has been conducted in altogether different grooves Irom those in which the dominant parties run their campaigns. There are too many elements represented to tight tbe issues publicly, and tbe most that is done is iu a quiet way. The new ele ment in politics is at work in “dead earnest,” aud the leaders are making tbe campaign us lively as they know now. A good deal will bedono by both sides in Ibe next two days. The friends of the old ticket, are Paid at work aud are conduct ing 'heir campaign openly and above hoard. There is no scattering of energy, and the determination is to elect tlie whole ticket. The Demociacyis thor oughly organized w ith old campaigners at Its head. Tue Knights ol Labor party is already split on ils ticket, and a strong effort is being made by the friends of .Judge Russell to tack him onto the regular ticket. Mr. Wilson is still confined to his oed by sickness and is unable to lake an active part in the cam paign. ills rllnesH has btou, perhaps, rather in bis favor, in view of the post tion ho has taken, in that it has kept him out the way ol his former political friends. The Knights of Labor Political Club, composed of somewhere about fiftv Knights,tbe secretary of which is a prornl usnl Republican, is managing their cam paign, but tbe management is not alto gether satisfactory to a large body of Democratic Kmgbt.s, who are 'opposed to ihe Republican methods that are be ing used. The politicians seem to be working the Knights for all they are worth to put back in office the very men whom the Knights—many of them as Democrats—voted out of office. Tickets beaded by two of the regular Democratic candidates, with one of tbe Knights of Labor candidates tacked on, are already being circulated, and a tussle is going on to see wbicii one on tbe Knights’ ticket can control the largest voje. Judge Russell’s friends say it looks like Russell, and Mr. Wilson’s friends say it looks like Wilson. It is generally agreed that Mr. Ashby is tbe weakest man on the ticket and will be “scratched” tho most. From tbe talk last night it seemed to be the prevailing opinion that the old ticket will draw heavily from the opposing side in the next two days, and that it will be elected by a large vote. THE OLD TICKET. Gordon, Reilly and Hartritl&e. Following is a list of the Democratic voters who signed tbe petition asking Messrs. Gordon, Reilly and Hartridge to allow the use of their names in the im pending election. Owing to the short time in which the gentlemen who carried around the petition bad to do the work, hundreds of voters could not be seen who were anxious and willing to subscribe their name*. Tbe petition was gotten up to show the gentlemen the use of whose names was asked how genera! is the dis satisfaction about the meeting ol Sept. 24. A casual glance at the names will develop the fact that people ot all classes, the workingman as well as the merobant., bate joined iu the movement in support of the “old ticket”: I f j j John Flannery, Herman Myers, E A W< -11.

Editor Morning yews: At the mass meeting held on Sept. 24 Messrs. Russell, Ashby and Wilson were selected as the nominees of the Democratie pat ty for the Legislature. A series of resolutions was adopted demanding certain legislation, and requiring each ot the nominees, in the event of bis election, to use his best endeavors to bring about the same. It has come to my knowledge and to the knowledge of hundreds of Knights of La bor that onoot the nominees has declared that he will not support all of the resolu tions. Upon inquiry 1 learned that Messrs. Ashby ana Wilson will advocate the principles contained in them. Mr.Russell, 1 understand, has asserted that he is not bound, and will not support ail of them. The mass meeting overwhelmingly in dorsed tho resolutions and the nominees are bound by them. If Mr. Russell does not intend to support them be ought not to have accepted the nomination. If he will not exert himself to accomplish the object sought to be obtained then it is the duty oi the Knights wno are faithful to the interests of the organization to vole against him. The resolution which requires the consolidation of the Superior and City Courts, abolishing the latter, of which be (Mr. Russell) is Clerk, and the repeal ot laws which allow special fees to county officials, is understood to bo objectionable to him and will not receive Ins sanction or support. Prohabiv the rumor does Mr. Russell an injustice. Il may he that he docs intend to advocate the principles embodied in all of the resolutions. It is, therefore, due to hiroseil and the Knights that his position be definitely understood. Let Mr. Russell atinbunce publicly whether or not he will endeavor to carry intoert'ect the principles ol alt the adopted resolutions incase ne goes to the Legisla ture. A Knight of Labor. LIGHTS ON OPEN BOATS. All Boats Must Display Lights While Under Sail or at Anchor. The Bureau of Navigation at Washing ton has sent out a circular in reference to lights on open boats, complaints hav ing been frequently made thatopen boats and so-called open yachts fail to exhibit at night, tbe lights prescribed by law. Tbe rule savs: “Open trouts shall not he required to carry the side lights re quired tor other vessels, hut shall, it tliey do not carry such lights, carry a lantern having a gveen slide on one side and a red slide on ihe other side, aud, on the ap approach of or to other vessels, such lan teru shall be exhibited in sufficient time to prevent a collision, and in such a man ner that the green light shall not be seen on tue port 6ide nor tue red light on the starboard side. Open boats, when at anchor or stationary, shall exhibit a bright white light. They shall noi, how ever, be prevented from using a flare-up in addition, if considered expedient.” The rule is applicable to open sail boats or open yachts, unless they carry the usual side lights, which are preferable to a single lantern.

Three separate yangaof laborers are en gaged in grading the Blackville arid Al ston railroad at Fiva Points, Whaley’s and Cain’s biaces. The management ol the Augusta, Edge field and Newberry road have linallv de termined tri have their own line from near Trenton to Ed 'etield, ar.d not use the old Cumberland Gap road bed. and are now side-staking the line. The site for the depot in Walterboro of the Green Pond, Walterboro’ and Branehviile railroad has finally been agreed upon. The selection of the spot, which lies in the southern portion of the town, was the result ot an equitable com promise. The gauge of the Bartow branch of the South Florida railroad from Bartow Junc tion to Barlow was not changed last week, owing to the failure of some mate rial to come that had been ordered. The change will take place as soon as the ma terial arrives. The Edgefield Chronicle says: ‘‘When ever we think that a broad gauce road is graded from Aiken to this place, and that the Savannah Valley road is finished from McCormick to Anderson, anil that, only twenty-two miles lie between Edgefield and McCormick, we groan with groan ings that cannot be uttered.” A Cedartown (Ga.) dispatch savs that Mr. E.

These are large figures, but at the same date, according to Poor’s Mar tial, there were in the United States 25,937 locomotives. 17,290 passenger cars, and 812,068 freight cars., including baggage, mall and express. Bearing In mind that British passenger and goods cars have a vary much smaller cupaoity than oui own the disproportion sm gesied by thes" figures appears more evident.

Throughout the days of my life 1 shall treasure them and ex hibit them proudly to my friends, and I will transmit them as a priceless heu loom to my iaimly.

Through you, as their representatives, 1 would now express my heartfelt thanks. With sentiments of the highest esteem, very sincerely yours, Henry It. .Jackson. The Two Republics in an editorial ar ticle said: “The regret at Gen. Jackson's approaching departure is general, every American feeling that he is losing a Iried and trusted friend and a representative whom be could trust most implicitly.
