St. Augustine creek. Avail able, $3,417; asked for, . Of the improvement of Charleston harbor, Col. Gilmer says: A large appropriation is necessary to effect within a comparatively small period a decided improvement of the new channel, not only by extending and raising both jettys, but also by dredging between them. Prepara tions for dredging upon the scale originally contemplated are in pro ject, and the estimate should begin at once, but this will be impracticable unless the funds are provided much more liberally than heretofore. It is of the utmost importance that the period of bad navigation," during which Pumpkin Hill will be under going further deterioration while the jetty channel is not ready for use, should be anticipated and : proper measures taken to render it as brief as possible. Nothing but vigorous and continuous prosecution of work can do this. The delays that have already occurred cannot fail to have a notable effect on the ultimate cost of the improvement. Indeed, if the policy of small appropriations and consequently of slow, intermittent and uncertain progress is continued, it is perhaps not too much to say that the original estimate may be nearly, if not quite, doubled by the time the works are completed. Under this policy it has been impossible to pros ecute the works under the conditions in such a manner as to secure the results contemplated. I am confirm ed in the belief that if sufficient funds were now available to provide for eighteen months of uninterrupted wor, carried on simultaneously upon both jettys, together with the dredg ing!. contemplated in the original .estimate,;the tonnage capacity of the Charleston approach would be nearly quadrupled before the expiration of that time that is to say, vessels of the greatest tonnage adapted to the present channel could then be re placed by others of nearly four times their carrying capacity.

PROHIBITION CANDIDATES -ARE FORMALLY NOTIFIED St. John for President and Daniel lor Vice-President Speeches of Formal Notification and Acceptance. ' jj . Cuba, N. Y., Aug. 25. The Prohi- bition ratification proceedings were held at St. John's campmeeting cir cuit grounds, a beautiful grove 2 miles from Cuba village today. A temperance campmeeting to last five days is in progress. The principal leaders and speakers of the Prohibit tion movement are in attendance and will address the meetings during the week. An audience of 3,000 was in attendance today. The exercises opened with music and prayer, after which Prof. Dickey, chairman of the ratification committee, was introduc ed tolhe audience and candidates, and spoke to candidates St. John and Daniel as follows : j: Gentlemen: I am to speak jfor the committee representing here; to day the National Convention of the FrohiDition party recenuy m session at Pittsburg. In harmony with pos litical usages and in keeping with' the dignity and importance of the high position in which we shall endeavor to place you, we are here for the pur pose of notifying you in this official and formal manner, of your selection as the candidates of the National Prohibition party for the position respectively of President, and Vice President of the United States. The convention which thus honored itself by so wise a selection of candidates, was no ordinary gathering. Men were there under the weight of many years who, a generation ago, gathered m the same hall to organize for Lvio tory what seemed to some a hopeless cause, to do battle against that other slaverv. and strong men were there in the full maturity of their powers- mighty with the torce oi an oyer masterine conviction. Young men were there with ardor of youth and devotion of heroes : women were tMere Frances Williard and Mary Wood bridge and Mrs. Burk and Mary Lathrop and Ester Hugh, representa tives or tne Desc Drain ana neart oi American womanhood. It . was a convention of earnest men and pure women who were there to express I their 'conviction that the government ought to be a government of the peo ple, by the people ana ior me people, and not a government of the saloon, by the saloon ana ior tne saioon It was a convention representmg a Dowerful constituency composed of citizens who have grown tired of the spectacle of the two old political parties rivaling each other in their eagerness to serve liquor traffic ; go ins down on their faces in the dust before the Moloch of men and crying out in languages of scripture, ''am I not thine ass upon which thou "hast ridden." I need not assure you that the Prohibition party will give vou a most ardent support. We may not succeed, in electing you to the high position for which you have been named, but we shall enjoy the proud satisfaction of knowing that our candidates were the only candidates, and our party was the only party that ought to have ;suc ceded. And now, gentlemen, in the name of the noblest manhood and Durest womanhood of America, I in voke the blessing of Almighty God to rest upon, and may that Divine power which rules and overrules the nations of men, vouchsate unto v you such measure of strength and cour age and wisdom as shall enable you to bear well the burdens which the National Prohibition porty, ;with supreme confidence now confers upon you. Gov. St John replied as follows : Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: In receiving this formal notice of mv nomination for the highest office within the gift of the people by the national convention of the Prohibi tion party, permit me, notwithstand ing distinction was neither sought or desired by me, to assure you in view of the unanimity with which it was given, of my appreciation of the very great honor it confers. There are more political parties in the field today than there are political issues Unon the great question as to what should be done with the traffic in intoxicating liquors as a beverage, both the Democratic and Republican parties are united in favor of making the traffic permanent, while Prohibi tionists demand that it shall be for ever placed under condemnation of the laws of the land. Thus an issue is clearly made, and I think it safe say, one that reaches the heart ana the conscience of the citizen. Upon this- issue we go to the- people the source of all political power. ! Let us appeal to reason rather than prejudice.! Let those resort to personal abuse; and scandal who have nothing better to uphold their cause. The Prohibition Party was not organized as a mere threat -or menace. It is the out growth of rapidly increasing crystal- ized sentiment against the great evil of the age an evil that the old r par ties dare not attack, but against which this young party or peopla, m defense of the homes of the nation, has entered upon warfare that shall never cease so long as the flag of our country waves its protecting folds over legalized dram shops. In this struggle let us ever remember :! that we are accountable to God ; that" our duty to him is paramount to our al legiance to any political party that political ties will never, in his sight. excuse ballot for any party that; qfoes not stand up fearlessly tor the right. for home will have nothing to fear if the people vote as they pray.

The memori al services in respect to the memory of the Mormon elders assassinated in Tennessee were held yesterday in all large and many of the small towns in' Utah. A congregation of about 7,000 attended services at the Tabernacle in this citv. Remarks of speakers which echoed the sentiment of the congregation were conciliatory and consoling, reflecting in no way on the people of Tennessee gen erally, but attributing the murders to the result of bigotted prejudice on the Dart of the ignorant and misin formed individuals. The prevailing sentiment among leading Mormons and the Mormon people generally is that such acts are the outgrowtn or. floods of misrepresentation and false hood, chiefly emanating from this city and continually kept before the country at large oy tneir enemies.

B., four bottles of which ena bled me to discard the use of my crutches and attend to business. I had previously used all well recommended medicines without relief. It has been over two months since using B. B. and I consider myself a permanently cured man. JP. DAVIS, AtlantafcaJJvest End.) M. A. Abbey, of Russell vllle, Ark., dated June 8th, 1884: "At last I have found an honest Remedy, B. B. B. Is the best Blood Poison remedy on earth, and If I had a voice that would reach from Atlanta to the sea, I would proclaim its virtue. I have used only four bot tles, and am nearly cured of a serious Blood Poison." J. M. Ellis, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I have had a severe form of Ec?ema ten years, and have failed to secure relief from various doc tors, and about 140 bottles of a noted blood ; remedy. It was pronounced Incurable, buf the ure of B. B. B. has effected a cure, and I refer to C P. Swift, Dr. O. C. Heary, Dr, F. F, Taber, Atlanta." W. M. Cheshire, at W. H.
