The above named places near Savan
nah, "Ga., are known throughout this
broad land by tourist", not from any
special merit of beauty oiattractiveness,
but owing to the great amount of adver
tising they have "received by hotel keep
ers and others, who advertised them as
among the , attraction of Cavanaah.
Tourists frequently stop over in Savan
nah a day longer in order to visit Bona
Venture and Thunderbolt, thereby lcav
iu. m,ore of Uiieir .'."filthy lucre" than
tliy otherwiiO. would, have done.. The
hotel keepers have been amply repaid
by advertising these. places and livery
stables have reaped a rich harvest from
that source. We' have near this city
places, which if properly - advertised,
would become far more noted than the
Savannah attractions. Bonaventure
is simply a small park of live oak trees,
with heavy beards of moss, and is no
prettier than Hilton and not susceptible
of as many improvements. Thunderbolt
which is a bluff at the head of la
silt water, creek, is not as
pretty as many places at the head of
Bradiey,IIcwlett or Whiikey creeks. The
places on the bay at the Sounds are in"
comparably prettier than Thunderbolt.
Wilmington has attractions which, if ad"
vertised, would be the means of attract
ing travelers and tourists this way.
Silver Lake, near this city, i3 a place
of great beauty. It i3 several fathoms
deep and its water to the very bottom is
as clear as crystal. The fish, with
which the Lake is alive, can be seen
swimming about and a pebble can be dis
tinctly seen at its bottom. The Lake
has no visible outlet and persons have
oiten amused themselves in trying to fer
ret out its submarine outlet. Then there
are Forts Fisher, Caswell and Johnson
besides masked batteries, which would be
exceedingly interesting to travelers.
Fort Fisher's fame is known through
out the landb-oi like everything .else,
when neglected, it soonpasses but'of rec
ollection and dies, so to speak, frsm dry
rot. Fort Caswell, with its lengthy whis
pering galleries, flood gates, etc., has
long been heard" of but how few com
paratively know where it is or have
seen it!. Besides the places we have
mentioned there are other places to in
terest and amuse one. We have in this
city the home of John Hooper, one of
the signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, Corn walis' Headquarters, Con
federate prison, turpentine distilleries in
active operation, cotton compresses and
other places of interest. There are many
other places and things about the city
which are thought lightly of by our citi
zens but which would he places and
things of great interest to travelers and
pleasure seekers. For one to see the
places we have mentioned, at least two
days would be required in visiting them
Persons who travel for pleasure and
health would think but little of remain
ing in a city two or three days longer
than they otherwise intended, provided
they could see something to attract and
amuse them. We have have the points
but reap no benefit from them, because
they arc not known to the outside world.
It strikes us it would be well to write a
descriptive history of these; places and
spread it broadcast throughout the
Northern, Fiastern and Western
States and circulate them as wd.
throughout the Southern States. Our
hotels, livery stables and transportation
companies would be materially benefited;
Wilmington would have more oLa float
ing population : retail business would be
better, and ths city would wear a more
buoyant cheerful and jolly look. Let
the hotels, railroads, steamboats and liv
ery stables pay some attention to this
matter. Let tbem send out descriptions
of places of attraction, as Richmond,
Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah and Jack
sonville have done, aud see, if they will
not be materially benefited by the ex.
periment. If a stranger should ask the
average citizen if there is anything to
be seen in this city, he would most likely
receive, with a shrug of the shoulders or
a discouraging shake of the head, "noth
ing" for an answer, while we are actually
surrounded by as many, if not more at
tractions than'any city in the South.

The fee of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in just at
present. We believe the schedule for
visits is $3.00, which would tax a roan
confined to his bed for a year, and in need
of a daily visit, over $1,000 a year for
TOedical attendance alone! And one

Mayor Fishblate and Mr. F. H. Dar
by, City Attorney, have returned from
Raleigh, where they have been to oppose
the passage of the bill introduced into
the Legislature by Mr. Scott relative to
the sale of produce from carta in the city.
If we understand this bill properly it is
not what its title represents and by means
of which it was passed in the Senate, nor
is it one which the tax payers in this
city would approve. It was , evidently
introduced for the benefit of the Repub
lican party and not of the people. We
haye not seen the bill but have been told
that its provisions would seriously inter
fere with the administration of the police
court and the enforcement of sanitary
regulations. It passed the Senate, prob
ably under a misapprehension of its act
ual purport, and is now . in the House
where it will probably be pigeon-holed or
tabled.
A meeting of the Board of Health, we
understand, is to be held to-night, to take
som e action in regard to this bill.

Editor Review:
Dear Sir- I have but a few words
more to add in reply to Mr. Norwood
Giles' communication and then I am dona
with the subject. My object in the out
set was to show that the present city gov
eminent has sustained and carried out
the promise of economy that was expect
edof it to the fullest extent, and I don't
see that that position has been successful
ly attacked by any statement of Mr.
norwood Giles.
If the citizens will refer to a published
statement or the city debt which appear
ed in the Wilmington papers, about
Dec. 1st. 1878, they will learn that at a
meeting fof tax-payers and bondholders
that took place in the city at that time,
the following exhibit was made: The to
tal debt on the 16th February. 1878, a
date after I came in office, was $623,525.-
27: a further statement (lade for Decern
ber 1st, 1878, showed the debt then to be
r 66,350, and the Dawsoi bonds, amount
ing to $10 900, were included in the first
statement made Fab. ICtb, 1878, as a
debt for which the city was liable and
excluded from the last statement made
December 1st, 1878. beceause be
tween the 16th of February 1878,
and December 1st, 1878 the, Dawson
bonds had been pronounced illegal, this
being at a time when I had the honor to
be Mayor of the city, and when the ad
ministration over which I presided w&s
entitled, if any administration is entitled
to claim the benefit of the reduction cans.
ed by the bonds being declared illegal.
I do not claim for this Board of Alder
raeh or for myself any special credit on
account of the city being relieved of this
debt of 10,000, and no statement that I
have made heretofore can, in my opinion,
be so construed, bat my statement was a
plain and simple account of the reduc
tion that had taken place, however oc
casioned, during my administration, and
I naturally, and I think properly and
reasonably, included that amount, be
cause the reduction had taken place dur
ing my administration.
I beg leave to say, also, that the state
ment given February 16th. and above
referred to, does not include all the
debt due at that time, for the
reason that it was afterwaads dis?
covered that there were really
$10,000 coupons with interest thereon
due at that time and not included in
that statement: '.
Take even the statement of Mr. Giles
to be correct, and I claim it is not, still
this administration is entitled to. tho
credit of an immense reduction of the
city debt and I cannot understand tha
disposition or votm with which any
one is situated who would try to with
hold from any Board of Aldermen that
which, jnstly due. The oaly wonder to
me is, judging from the tone of tha cat-
eral statements of Mr. Norwood Giles,
that he gives this Board of Aldermen the
credit for even the reduction of $92,880
