Albany-Vatcj and Advertiser: “On Wednes day last Mr. Charles Arnold, a man of some notoriety in the vicinity of Quitman, where he B ii.5 l ii** ar hnown as ‘Uncle Charley,’ was killed by a runaway team under the following circumstance*: He went to town with a young man for a load of guano, and whilst the wagon was being loaded at the warehouse, the mules took fright at something and started to run. L nclejharley’ ran up to the wagon to catch the Unes, and was struck by one of the wheels and knocked down, when another wheel pass ed over his body, crushing him badly. He died in less than an hour.” Columbus Times: “Yesterday Henry Love was brought to this city under the charge ot horse stealing. He stole a horse from Mr. Isa Lynch and a mule from a negro, near Scha tuiga, last Wednesday night. As soon as the stolen animals were missed a search was in stituted, and Henry was captured about six teen miles from this city, in Harris county, going westward. He was bound, brought to this city, ana carried before Judge W. r. Wil liams. He acknowledged the enme, waived a preliminary examination, and was sent to jail. He will, no doubt, suffer for his mania for the animal flesh.” Rome Tribune: “Yesterday morning about ten minutes after five o’clock the alarm ot fire was sounded, and our sleeping city awoke to find that the residence ot Mr. Walker Fowler, on upper Broad street, was in flames. Every fire company in the city was soon on the spot, and the gallant firemen did all that they could to stop the devour ing flames, but it was of no avail, and the house was soon reduced to ashes. Most of the furniture was saved, and the family escaped from the burning building safely. While of course it is not definitely known, it is supposed that the fire was caused by a defec tive flue in the parlor chimney. The dwelling, which belonged to Mr. D. J. Powers, was only covered with SB,OOO worth of insurance, and while most of the furniture was saved, it of course was more or less damaged—to the amount, we suppose, of about $100.” Columbus Times: “On "Wednesday last a gentleman living near Smith's Station, on the Western Railroad, whose name we coutd not ascertain, had allot his clothing stolvn. He and his family were gardening, and a negro boy who hail been living on the place for some time entered the house and took therefrom all his wearing apparel and several other articles. The boy then look the train for Opelika. The gentleman took the next in pursuit of him. and at Opelika he learned that the thief had gone to West Point. He continued his search, and yesterday returned with the rascal bound hand end foot. We hope he will be made to suffer the full extent of the law.” Darien Timber Gazette: The timber mar ket has not been very brisk this week, although there has been a few rafts down since our last report The prices for square timber have not fallen hut little since the large drift came in. Taking everything Into consideration timber is certainly bringing a good price at present figures. Scab timber is always in good demand and brings good prices The vessels that are now on their way to this port vfiU take in all the timber that is here, and will need a great deal more besides. Owing to the fearful bad weather and the long passages of vessels, the timber season of 1880-81 hns hardly opened yet. Our timber merchants ex pect to do a large business between now and July. We now have no doubt but that over 100,000,000 feet of timber and lumber will be shipped from Darien this season. This will probably be the best season since the war.” Americus Republican: “On last Friday even ing the wife of Warren Wimblsh, a negro man awaiting trial in jail for a heinous offense, asked Deputy Sheriff Cobb if he would let her in to see her husband at night. He consented to do so, and at the appointed time she was on hand. Mr. L. P. Smoot, who boards with Mr. Cobb, went with him to the door of the cell. On opening the door, Mr. Cobb said to the woman, ‘Get in quick,’ but Wimbish threw the door open violently, saying, ‘Get out ot my way,’ and grabbing Mr. Cobb by the throat tried to force his way out. He was pushed nack, but again tried, and succeeded in tbrowing the Deputy Sheriff down several steps, bruising his head severely, and raising the window attempted to get out. In this he was foiled catching him by the leg and pulling him back. When he threw Cobb down the steps, he (Cobh) shouted to Smoot to close the door and turn the dogs loose, and as Cobb caught hold of Wimbish’s leg and pulled him from the window, he said that he woui t give up, thinking that he heard assistance coming, but as so>u as he found ha was mistaken he started again. Mr. Cobb called to the boys to bring him the keys, and then the negro grew quiet. Wimbish and Sim Moie were the only two that made any demonstrations, although Wimbish says that it was a concocted plan cf the entire six prisoners in the cell to over power the jailor and escape.” Fort Gaines Tribune: “A serious shooting affray occurred at Mr. W. H. Shaw’s place on Sunday night last, in which John Spurlock, colored, received a severe wound in the back from a pistol discharged by Mr. Wm. Shaw, Jr. It seems that several negroes were having a general row at Mr. Shaw’s negro quarter, and some women became frightened and went to Mr. Shaw's residence, which was some dis tance from the quarter, an 1 begged him to go down and do what he could to quell the disturbance ‘before somebody was killed.’ Mr. Shaw and his son Wil liam at once set out for the sceneof the row, the former armed with a shotgun and the lat ter with a pistol Just before they reached the negro quar er they met Spurlock leaving, and lie had in his hand a wagon spoke, to which was attached a part of tne hub. Mr. Shaw asked him what ha meant by com ing on his place and raising a row. He replied that he was in the pub lic road, and that he Bhould do what he d—n pleased, at the same time walking right up to 51 r. Shaw, with his mallet or club in his hand. Mr. Shaw shoved him off and young Bbaw shot him. Young Shaw claims, however, that the shooting was unintentional: that he cocked his pistol when he saw Spurlock approach his father threateningly or defiantly, so as to be prepared to shoot if he should attempt to strike him with his murderous weapon, and that the pistol went off accidentally. The ball struck Spurlock just below the shoulder blade, and, it is thought, glanced around and did not enter the cavity. Spurlock ia severely wound ed, and may die. Mr. fchaw came to town Monday morning and gave himself up for trial. \Ve learn that Spurlock is somewhat better, though it is possible he may not recover. The ball, it is said, is lodged near the liver.” South Carolina Notts. Greenville AQtc Seuth: “A fire on the 19th inst. destroyed a dwelling and store belonging to J. E. Payne. It was situated on Anderson street la West End, just inside the corporate limits. Tbe dwelling was occupied by Mr. P. M. Allen and family, who lost everything they had except a small portion of wearing apparel. They had lately moved to Greenville, and are in an almost destitute condition.” Greenville Jiew South: “Dr. J. M. Westmore land has commenced suit against the Columbia and Greenville Railroad for SIO,OOO damages, being injured by a collision on that road in De cember last. The necessary documents were served upon Agent Stradley on Friday.” Darlington Sews: “We have at our office a specimen of very fine coal from this county The vein from which it was extracted runs east and west, and is about five feet wide. It burns well and makes an excellent fuel.” Darlington JVetw: “Pneumonia seems to have abated, and the health of this section is now considered good.” A large wild cat was caught in ft steel trap one n'ght recently on the farm of Mr. Frans Ford, in Darlington. There have been eighteen or twenty resi dences, one church, three school houses and five or six store rooms built in Anderson during the past year, and still the work goes bravely on. hut this is not a circumstance to what will occvr when the Blue Ridge and Savannah Valley Railroads are completed. Lexington correspondent Columbia Regi ter: “Mrs. M. Y. Harth, the President of the Con federate Monumental Association, has held a fair tin the court house and was ably assisted by a few of the ladies of this small community. A handsome sum was real'zed, and she hopes to make still more Thursday night. All of the intelligent people of the county are in favor of erecting a fitting monument to the memory of the men who perished in the service of the State.” The Press and Banner contains an account of tbe kilting of a negro woman named Caro line Farrow on the farm of Mr. 5V llliam B. Martin, eight miles west of Abbeville Court House, on Friday last The Coroner’s jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict ii[t she came to her death by a gunshot wound at the bands of the said w. B Martin. The statement is that the deceased was in the house of Mania Thomas and was shot from the oataide through a crack in the house. Mr. Martin denies committing the deed.” Union Times: “Owing to the continuous bad weather many of the farmers of this vi cin ty have not done picking cotton. There is more cotton in the field now than ever before at this season of the year. Cotton is still com ing into market and fertilizers going out as rapidly, to make more cotton. The demand for fertilisers was never so great. Phosphate rock has advanced ia value, and of course all chemical fertilizers will go up too. We are told that many of the cotton fields in the btate still hold a good deal of unpicked cotton, and that there fi a good deal of cotton held for higher prices. The acreage of wheat sown is considerable less in some ae ctions than lMt year. It is likely that more oats will be sown than usual, owing to the fact that most farm ets missed sowing as much wheat as they in tended. Important Teat Case Decided. Pbtkrsbcrg, Va., February 26 —In the Hustings Court yesterday Judge Mann ren dered a decree perpetually enjoining and restraining the city from tne collection of taxes upon the real estate of the Petersburg Benevolent Mechanics’ Association, holding that the association, being a charitable In stitution, is exempt under the State statutes. The case was a test one and of interest, a number of other Institutions being Involved in similar suits. A pocket full of money amounts to little wheThealth is gone.

Brown’s Amend ments lor Improvements ln Geor gia Rejected—The House Spends the Dav on the Sundry Civil Bill —Noise, Clamor and Contusion. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Washington, February 26.—1n the Sen ate a hill was Introduced by Mr. Vance for the purchase by the Secretary of War of the private papers of the late Confederate Oenerals Bragg and Polk, relating to the war of the rebellion, and appropriating $20,000 for the same. Referred to the Committee on Military Affair* By Mr. Lamar—Granting the right of way to the New Orleans and Northeastern Rail road Company through the public lands along their route from New Orleans to Meridian, Miss. Referred to the Committee on Railroads. Mr. Butler offered a resolution, which was agreed to without debate, instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire and report by what authority and under whose ap pointment Mr. R M. Wallace is exercising the duties of United States Marshal for South Carolina. Mr. Grover, from tbe Committee on Pub lic Lands, reported favorably the Senate bill to grant public land in Alabama ln aid of the Warrior ad Tennessee River Railroad, and for other purposes. Placed oa the calendar After debate the Sanate, on motion of Mr. Harris, adopted an order of business, to take effect immediately, setting apart the time from the conclusion of the morning business to 1:30 p. m., and also evening ses sions, for the consideration of House bills favorably reported, which are to be taken up in their order on the calendar. Several bills were considered. Mr. Morgan, by direction of the Commit tee on Rules, reported for reference to the Committee on Appropriations tbe follow ing amendment to the sundry civil bill: To enable the Secretary of the Senate to pay Francis E. Shober, Chief Clerk of the Sen ate, for preparing (under resolution of the Senate of June 16,1879,) anew edition of the manual, SI,OOO. Referred. Upon the expiration of the time allotted for the calendar, Mr. Burnside briefly ad dressed the Senate upon the resolution re ported from the Committee on Foreign Re lations, and now on the Vice President’s table, declaring that the United States will insist that its consent is a necessary condi tion precedent to the construction of a ship canal or other means of transportation across the isthmus. Mr. Eaton said that unless some other Seuator desired to discuss it he would ask that the resolution be taken from the table and passed. Mr. Hoar called attention to the absence of Mr. Windom, who, he understood, had given notice of his desire to speak on the subject, and also suggested that ln one particular expression the resolution might require modification. The subject was here dropped. The Senate took up, on motion of Mr. Ran som, the river and harbor bill, and the amendments which the Senate committee acted on, when the bill was read. When the items for North Carolina rivers were reached, Mr. Thurman called attention to the Increase in the appropriation for Cape Fear river, from SIOO,OOO to $170,000. He said he did not intend to suggest anything like log rolling, but as he felt 6ome Interest In Ohio improvement, which was not provided for, he would now express the hope that the liberal spirit of the Chair man of the Commerce Committee (Mr. Ran som) in taking care of his own State would induce that Senator to look across the Alle ghenies in a kindly manner. Mr. Ransom replied that as North Caro lina had probably more water surface than any other S ate, and had a harbor of refuge at Wilmington for all wrecked and disabled vessels of the eastern coast, the appropria tions for that State were neither large nor disproportionate, but were far below the estimates. Mr. Vance thought the general policy of Improving small streams a desirable one in fostering competition with railroads by con venient channels of commerce, and thus cheapening transportation to the seaboard. Mr. Morgan denounced as odious log rolling the system by which particular States have been benefited in the river and harbor bill without regard to any benefit to the commerce of the country. Mr. Thurman mentioned a number of small streams in North Carolina and Vir ginia provided for at from SI,OOO to $5,000, the names of which, he said, could not be found ln the geography In tbe schools and libraries. The items for French Broad, he said, had been inserted in every river and harbor bill for years, and the object of of It was to Improve a stream In North Carolina so that catfish could navigate it, and as lODg as there were any catfish there be supposed the appropriations would be kept up. Mr. Morgan moved an Increase of $20,000 for the harbor of Mobile. Tabled. Yeas 33—nays 10. Mr. Brown moved a number of amend ments for improvements in Georgia. Re jected. Mr. Groome moved an amendment, which was adopted without objection, directing the Secretary of War to cause to be made, by some officer of the United States En gineer Corps, an examination and surveys of lines for a ship canal across the peninsula between the Chesapeake and Delaware bays, especially of the Sassafras and Choptank routes and the approaches thereto, with the view to ascertaining the most feasible route for a canal of the depth of fully tweuty-six feet at mean low tide, aad of one hundred feet width at the bottom throughout its entire length, and to esti mate the cost of constructing a canal of such depth and the approaches thereto. The session was protracted to a late hour ln order to dispose of the bill, its opponents, though small In nnmber, presenting an un broken front on every vote, notwithstand ing that all the amendments offered by them were invariably laid on the table, on motion of the Senator in charge of the bill, Mr. Ransom. Mr. Thurman, rising to renew his protest against the measure, provoked a laugh by inquiring of tbe Chair whether Mr. Ransom would be in order in moving to lay him (Thurman) on the table. He then said that for one he repudiated the new doctrine that Democrats must favor what was called a liberal policy In appro priations, and charged that the bill was supported from personal and interested motives as a means of securing the re-elec tion of members of the Senate and House. Mr. Vest advocated the bill because of its liberal appropriation for the improve ment of the Mississippi. Mr. Hill, of Georgia, spoke of the monopoly of power and influence wielded by a few railway magnates and of their capacity to subject the public to their ex actions in freight transportation. He thought a system of Internal water ways would secure some relief from these exactions. The bill was passed and the Senate, about 11 p. m., adjourned. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. The House at 11:35 went into committee of the whole, Mr. Harris, of Virginia, in the chair, on the sundry civil appropriation bill, all debate on the pending amendment ap propriating $200,000 for the establishment of naval coaling stations on the Isthmus of Panama, being limited to twenty minutes. The amendment was adopted by a vote of 82 to 65, and Mr. Blount gave notice that he would call for the yeas and nays ln the House. On motion of Mr. Whitthorne, of Tennes ssee, an amendment was adopted appro priating *3,000 to enable the Secretary of the Navy to protect and preserve cemeteries in foreign countries used for the most part for the burial of citizens of this govern ment. An amendment, offered by Mr. Manning, of Mississippi, appropriating SIO,OOO for in vestigation into the habits of the cotton worm, was after debate ruled out on a point of order. An amendment increasing the appropri ation for surveying public lands from $200,- 000 to $300,000 was adopted. Mr. Horr, of Michigan, offered an amend ment for the payment to William F. Geary, of South Carolina, of SIOO per month, from the !4th February, 1881, so long as he re mains disabled by wounds recently received while in the discharge of bis duties. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, raised a point of order against the amendment. Mr Horr, in debating the point of order, attempted to speak to the merits of the amendment, but was cut off by cries of border” and “vote” from the Democratic ll He managed through a good deal of con fusion and uproar to say that this was the eighteenth man who had been stricken down in the same district during the last four year# that the government had bees carrying on its conciliatory measure. The point of order was sustained and the amendment ruled out. An amendment offered by Mr. Springer, instructing the commissioner representing the United States st the international mone SAVANNAH, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1881. tary conference to agree to no adjustment which does not recognize silver coins as part of the money system of the governments joining ln such conference, was adopted. Mr. White then moved to strike out all those items, which he described as “old State claims amounting ln the aggregate to $32,431, some of them of thirteen and six teen years standing.” He protested against their payment. Mr. Hayes, of Illinois, supported the mo tion and Instanced the vote in the Senate last week to pay the estate of Mrs. Spofford three years’ salary of a Senator, and said that if all such items are calculated for the last four years the aggregate would exceed $200,000. It was time that something was done to stop such lavish expenditures. The motion to strike out was defeated, there being only three votes ln the affirma tive. Mr. Kiefer, of Ohio, moved to increase the amount to be paid to Mr. Hull, of Florida, from $2,000 to $3,500. Excluded on a point of order, as the existing law limits such allowance to $2,000. An appeal was taken and the decision of the Chair was sustained by a vote of 67 to 65. Clauses were inserted to pay E. Moody Boynton $2,000, Godlove 8. Orth SSOO, Andrew G. Curtin SB,OOO and Seth H. Yocum SB,OOO. During the discussion upon these items the confusion ln the committee was ex cessive. Half a dozen members addressed the Chair at once, some of them raising points of order, others dlscusslngthe amend ments, and all totally oblivious of the fact that the Chair had not recognized them. The efforts of the Chair, though seconded bv the Sergeant-at-Arms, were of little or no avail ln restoring order. Mr. Manning, of Mississippi, offered an amendment increasing the amounts allow ed to Messrs. BLbee, Hull, Donnelly and Washburn to $3,500, and to Mr. Mason to $2,000. A point of order was raised, and during its discussion the confusion increased Into an uproar. The Chair was unable to obtain order long enough to deliver his decision, and at last appealed to the committee,some what impatiently, that he should be allow ed to decide the point without having half a dozen speeches Interjected into his re marks. The amendment was finally declared ln order and adopted. The committee then rose, and reported the bill to the House. The previous ques tion was seconded, and the main question ordered, but no further action was had. On motion of Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, it was ordered that the ceremonies for Sun day (to-morrow), in commemoration of the late Fernando Wood, be postponed till Monday at 8 a. in. The Speaker laid before the House a com munication of the New Orleans Cotton Ex change, in favor of the repeal of the tax on bank deposits and bank checks. Referred. Tbe Speaker announced the appointment of Messrs. Lapham, Tucker, Robeson, Carlisle and Page as tbe committee on the part of tbe House to attend the funeral obsequies of the late Senator Carpenter, and then, at nine o’clock, the House took a recess until ten o’clock Monday. TUB FUNDING BILL. The Ways and Means Committee of the House, after a session of three hours to-day, instructed Representative Tucker to call up from the Speaker’s table the funding bill, and as Chairman of the committee to move concurrence in the Senate amendments, to gether with the amendment agreed to by the committee at their last meeting, with one exception, aud the amendment adopted by them to-day. The latter is the amendment proposed by Representative McKinley to add the follow ing at the end of section 5 of the bill: ‘‘Pro vided that nothing in this act shall be con strued to repeal or in any manner affect or modify sections 5220, 5222, 5223 and 5224 of the Revised Statutes of the United Btates.” The amendment adopted at the last meet ing, extending the date mentioned in the fifth section, from July first to September first, was to-day stricken out. Representative Conger offered an amend ment to-day to strike out of section 5 the words, “and provided further that section 4of the act of June 20,1874, entitled ‘An act fixing the amount of United Btates notes, providing for the redistribution of National bank currency, and for other pur poses,’ be, and the same Is, hereby re pealed.” The amendment was not agreed to, but Representative Conger was authorized by the committee to offer bis amendment in tbe House before the calling of the previous question. Representative Mills was also authorized to offer an amendment to the bill before the previous question Is called, In regard to the date, which was stricken out by the committee to day. Representative Tucker was Instructed to go to the Speaker’s desk and raise the ques tion of consideration upon the fuuding bill. It will therefore be raised as soon as the sundry civil bill is disposed of. THE WORK OF THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEES. The committees of conference on the post office, legislative, executive and judi cial, and District of Columbia appropriation bills, respectively, have all reached final agreements this evening, which will be pre sented to both houses and, doubtless, will be ratified by Monday or Tuesday next. The amounts in controversy on the post office bill, namely, additions proposed by the Senate to the House Items for the star tervlco, steamboat service and special fa cilities on trunk lines of railroads, have in each case been compromised at one-half the Senate Increase. The principal controverted portions of the legislative bill are tbe provisions made by the Senate for a large increase of the clerical force ln the Interior and War Depart ments to facilitate the settlement of pension claims. These provisions are all agreed to by the House conferees, and therefore will undoubtedly remain in the bill. THE APPORTIONMENT BILL TO GIVE WAT TO THE FUNDING BILL. The Conference Committee having failed to effect any compromise upon the appor tionment question, an understanding has been reached on tbe Democratic side of the House that the apportionment bill shall give way for the present to allow the Ways and Means Committee the opportunity to call up the funding bill. The bill stands number ten upon the Speaker’s table, and a single objection will prevent its consideration out of order, but the other nine bills having precedence may be laid aside, seriatim, if the House so disposes, and in this way the funding bill may be reached for consideration ln a short time after the disposition of the sundry civil bill. POSTMASTERS NOMINATED. The President to day sent to the Senate the following nominations: R. Milner, to be Postmaster at Newnan, Ga.; A. M. Morri son, at Ennis, Texas. An Extra Seealon of tbe Senate to be Called.

The Judge finally ordered them to be dismissed. It was finally understood that the jury stood eight for conviction, and four for acquittal. An acquittal was generally anticipated and the result is regarded as a substantial vic tory for the anti-dueling sentiment of the State,

CRUSHING DEFEAT OF THE BRI TISH. General Colley Killed—Only a Frag ment of Hie Troops Left—General Wood About to Betreat. London, February 26.—A dispatch from Newcastle, Natal, say 9 a Hottentot prisoner has escaped from Faingsnek, where he had been for a fortnight. He said there are 7,000 Boers there, and that they are building a very strong stone wall on Aumila mountain. The Boers have two old guns. When they heard of the arrival of the British reinforcements a large number of the Utrecht Boers wished to return home but the others would not allow them to do so. The Boers, In anticipation of an attack, have sent five hundred of their wagons into the interior. Mount Prospect, Natal, February 27. —Gen. Colley with six companies has taken posseesion of Spltzkop, a position to the left of Laigsneck. Firing has been heard all the morning. Newcastle, Natal, February 27.— A severe engagement took place to-day be tween the Boers and General Colley’s force, and the latter was driven from its position at Spltzkop. There was great loss on both sides. Many British officers were killed and wounded. A later telegram from C Jley’s Camp says: “All the wounded coming ln agree ln reporting that General Colley has been killed, and that only one hundred British have escaped.” The Boers charged upon the hill four times and were about to retreat, when the British were forced to retire,because the re serve ammunition had not been taken to the extreme summit. London, February 27, Midnight.— Gen. Colley, in a dispatch which he sent pre vious to the engagement to day, savs: “We occupied Magoda Mountain Saturday night. It immediately overlooks the Boers’ position. The Boers are fighting us from below.” ln a later telegram he says: “The Boers are still firing heavily on the hill, but have broken up their laager and begun to move away.” The War Office has received the following telegram from Col. Bond, commanding at Mt. Prospect Gen. Colley, with 22 officers and 627 men, consisting of infantry and the Naval Brigade,proceeded on Saturday night to oc cupy Maoda Mountain. The B lers attacked him at 7 a. m. Sunday. At one o’clock p. m. the firing Increased. At 2:20 it became evident from the camp that we had lost the hill, and that our men were retiring under a heavy fire. There is no doubt that General Colley Is killed.” General Wood telegraphs corroborating the above, and says he will return to New castle on Monday. THE LAND LEAGUE. ITleetlng In New York aud Brook lyn Yesterday—lW. D. Gallagher Kxplalna tbe League’* Purpoaea— Plain Talk from a Hollander. New York, February 27.—A very large Land League meeting was held in East Forty-fifth street this afternoon. John De roy was present, and was loudly applauded on entering the hall. Mr. M. D. Gallagher explained the aims and methods of the Land League. Tnere was danger, he said, that persons not luformed on the Irish land question would look upon tbe movement as an ef fort to subvert vested rights. This was not the case, nor was It true, as some of the newspapers in England have it, that, all, or nearly all of the present landed proprietors of Ireland had received their titles from the Landed Estates Court. He mentioned some of the largest land owners, whose fathers had received whole districts of land, stolen from the people for disreputable services rendered the English Government. The fact was that the land of Ireland had been stolen by force and arms from the people, and Its return to the people would be only the restoration of stolen property; but the Land League did not want to take the land from the present possessors without compensation. It was proposed to give a fair price, to be paid by tbe tenants in Instalments. There are two very strong reasons why the American people should give their sympathy and support to the move ment. Irish landlords really live in luxury in London and Paris at the expense of America. Hundreds of thousands of dol lars are sent to Ireland yearly by Irish sons and daughters in America, to pay the ex orbitant rents, to keep a roof over fathers and mothers, and helpless little brothers and sisters. If the Irish people owned the land this drain would not be necessary, and the money would be expended and in vested here. The other reason is a patriotic one. Irishmen and sons of Irishmen ln the United States had ever proved themselves ready to sacrifice their lives in the hour of America’s need. When the Irish people asked American sympathy and support, they were not begging, they were only asking some return for what they had done for America. A large number present joined the League. Brooklyn, N. Y., February 27.— At the Parnell Land League meeting to-day Su pervisor Richard Lauer, a native of Holland, referred to the treat ment of the Boers by the British Government, stigmatising it as atrocious. He said he fully sympathized with the Irish, and advised them to act in the same way as the Boers had done to maintain their rights. This, he said, was the only thing left for them to do. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE NEXT SENATE, A Conference of Democratic Senator* —A Successor to Judge Thurman as President Pro Tern.—The Creden tials of the Newly Elected Senator* —Hatthew* and Billings’ Nomina tion*. Washington, February 26 —The Demo cratic members of the Senate had a private conference to-day for the purpose of ex changing views on the order of business, and discussing several matters relative to the organization of the next Senate. The fact that the Senatorial term of the President of the Senate pro. tem, (Judge Thurman) will expire at noon on the 4th of March was brought before the conference, and as it is the duty of the President pro tem. to swear in new Senators when the Senate reconvenes imme diately after that hour, attention was called to the need of electing someone for the position whose term will continue into the next session. It was agreed that a caucus meeting shall be held before t.he 4th of March to select a candidate and elect a suc cesaor to the Senator. Mr. Wallace, the present Chairman of the Caucus Committee, was appointed to ex amine the credentials of the new Senators and ascertain whether defects exist in them upon which objections could be based to swearing ln any of the Senators-elect. The sense of the caucus was decidedly in favor of maintaining the present organization and officers if the Democrats control the next Senate. It is understood that the suspended nomi nations of Matthews, Billings and others were to-day somewhat discussed with refer ence to the fcest method of dlspoelog of them, but material differences of opinion being developed, no action was taken.

New York, February 26.— The stock market opened strong and buoyant, with an advance of from to 3 per cent, in the general list, and 10 per cent, in Reading, and subsequently advanced to 3 per cent. This was followed by a reaction of from to j>X per cent., the latter in Western Union. Towards noon, however, speculation again took an upward turn, and although there were occasional reactions the general tendency daring the remainder of the day was in the direction of higher prices, and at the close the Improvement on yesterday’s final closing quotations ranged from 2 to 15 per cent., the latter ln Reading. Canada Southern sold up 2% per cent.,Hannibal and St. Joe 9, do. preferred 6>£, Louisville and Nashville and Denver and Rio Grande 9, Union Pacific 8 Union Pacific 8%, St. Paul and Omaha 7, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and Delaware and Hudson 6%, Central Pacific 6%, Metropolitan Ele vated Rock Island and Iron Mountain 6, Nashville and Chattanooga Central and Northern Pacific preferred 5%, Ohio and Mississippi 5%, Pacific Mall and Lake Shore Western Union 5)4, St. Paul, New York Central andC., C.,C. and I. 5, and lowa and Missouri River 7per cent. The sales aggregated 611,000 shares, in cluding Canada Southern 19,800, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western 38,400, Delaware and Hudson 10,300, Denver and Rio Grande 10.400, Erie 60,500,JHannibal and St. Joe 17,000, Iron Mountain 2.900, Kansas and Texas 11,100, Lake Shore 35,900, Louisville and Nashville 7,800, Michigan Central 5,500, Manhattan Elevated 11,500, Northwestern 30.100, Nashville and Chattanooga 16,900, New Jersey Central 15,400, New York Cen tral 14,200, Northern Pacific 12,000, Ohio and Mississippi 11,400, Ontario and Western 21.100, Ohio Central 65,000, Pacific Mall 17.400, Reading 11,800, St. Paul 26,300, St. Paul and Omaha 8,300, Union Pacific 57,900, Wabash 25,400. London, February 26.—The Economist ot this week says: “The rate of discount for bank bills at sixty days to three months was 2 per cent., and for trade bills at sixty days to three months 2% to 3 per cent. The Stock Exchange Is still supported by the firmness ot the Continental bourses, although it has lost the sustaining Influence ot New York. Money for speculative pur poses has been easy. External Influences affecting prices were tnus mostly favorable. Nevertheless, home investments were de pressed. Most home railways closed at the lowest point of the week. Canadian lines are lower. United States lines in general depreciated, in some cases extensively. Indeed specula tion for a rise in the older securities ap pears, for the time at least- to have ceased. It is difficult to assign a cause beyond the fact that last year the advance was too rapid and tbe public have so far committed themselves to new undertakings that they are obliged to sell out existing holdings to provide the requisite subscriptions. In foreign governments, Russian and Turkish, in consequence of less hopeful views of the Greek difficulty, are lower and closed flat. Hungarian are higher in conse quence of the proposed conversion. In American railways New York, Ontario and Western declined 4, St. Louis and San Fran cisco 3, do preferred 5, Central Pacific and Ohio and Mississippi 2 each, Ohio and Mis sissippi preferred 3)4, and Erie preferred 3, but St. Louis Bridge preferred are 4 per cent, higher.” FIGHTING CONSOLIDATION. Argument Heard on the French Cable Company’s Salt. New York, February 26.— The argument before Judge Blatchford, of the United States Circuit Court, relative to the tem porary injunction in behalf of the French Cable Company restraining the carrying out of the agreement of consolidation, was con tinued to-day. Several affidavits in rebuttal of those put in evidence by the complainant were produced by the defense and admitted by the Judge. One of the affidavits was signed by Nor vin Green, who, as President of the West ern Union Telegraph Company, testified that there had been no complaint from the French Cable Company that it did not get its full share of the cable business. That the nature and existence of the arrange ment between the Western Union and the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies was known to the plaintiff before 1878, and that he believed the complaint of the threatened loss of business by the French Cable Company was only the pretended and not the real cause of bringing the suit. Jay Gould testified that it was untrue that negotiations relative to the agreement of December, 1880, wfirtch complainant alleges is detrimental to its Interest, were made as the result of any unlawful combination or confederation whatever. Several other affidavits of similar import were admitted in evidence, when General Swayne opened the argument in behalf of the defense. He argued that if the injunction to re strain the carrying out of the consolidation agreement was allowed, an execution of It would be Impracticable. That the agree ment of December, 1880, was of no binding force, and that It was shown by the record of the French Cable Company that It had enjoyed the right to send incoming messages and collect outgoing messages from every office of the Western Union Company. L. L. Delafield, counsel for the plaintiff, asked to be allowed to produce the list of stockholders of the Western Union in order to show that Jay Gould owned the principal shares of the stock of that company, as well as that of the American Union, which he (Jay Gould) admitted that he owned. Judge Blatchford stated that if it proved material at any stage of the case, he would admit the evidence alluded to. HUGO’S BIRTHDAY. fflonster Demonstration ln Honor of the Poet, Author and Statesman. Paris, February 27. —There was a great popular manifestation to-day In honor of the birthday of Victor Hugo. A large number of members of the Chamber of Deputies and other distinguished persons were received by M. Hugo. While the re ception was going on a procession of deputations marched through an enormous crowd to the residence of the illustrious antbor, who saluted the deputations from a window. The number of people ln all tbe deputations was estimated at 300,000. Lonis Blanc delivered a panegyric on M. Hugo’at the Trocadero. THE OLD DOMINION LINE mulcted lor the Loss of the “Rockaway.’t New York, February 26.—Cornell White brought suit ln the Supreme Court against the Old Dominion Steamship Company for $40,000 damages for the loss of the excur sion boat Rockaway. The defendants agreed to tow the Rock away to this port from Norfolk, Va., with one of their steamers, and neglected storm signals when the weather became so rough. Complainant alleges that they cut the Rockaway loose and she drifted ashore and was broken to pieces. Tbe defense was that the Rockaway was waterlogged and not ln a proper condition. The jury gave plaintiff $35,018 37 damages with five per cent, allowances. GARFIELD’S ROUTE. The Pennsylvania Company Ar range a Special Train for Him. ManßFlkld, 0., February 27.— General Manager J.

On the Quarter Streteh—Down to Hard Work—Beautiful Flowera— Ugly Statements and Gloomy Pros pects—Dr. Stringer, of Hernando— Senate Bill 190—Down On Secret Weapon*—Palatka and Indian Klwerßallroad—To be Built—What It Will Accomplish. Tallahassee, Fla. February 37.—A bill was Introduced yesterday in the Senate by Mr. Bharpe extending the time for the re demption of lands sold for taxes assessed since 1876. The following confirmations were made: C. S. Baron to be Judge, G. A. Demerrilt to be Sheriff, and W. C. Maloney Collector for Monroe county; R. W. Davis to be Judge, J. C. Williams to be Sheriff, and F. J. Pons Clerk for Baker county; J. Price to be Collector for Putnam county; J. W. De- Wltt to be Sheriff for Clay county. In the Assembly bills were Introduced as follows: By Mr. Stringer—To incorporate the Tropical Peninsula Railroad. By Mr. Perry—Authorizing executora and administrators appointed by county courts to resign. By Mr. Miller—Providing for calling a constitutional convention. By Mr. Dougherty—Providing for the creation of corporations, and prescribing their powers and liabilities. Eagan w r as discearged yesterday by the unanimous decree of the Supreme Court. Tallahassee, February 26.—80th Houses are now working under the high pressure sys tem, holding morning, afternoon and night sessions. Less than a week now remains for the transaction of business, and the necessity for hard and constant work is fully appre ciated. Committeemen ask to be excused at con venient periods, and step out to discuss the merits of bills submitted to their consideration, while the engrossing and enrolling clerks have no time for social enjoyment. The remainder of the week will be run under whip and spur. The secretaries of the two bodies are con stantly the bearers of messages from their respective houses, and rules are waived and unimportant bills are run through their first, second and third readings without the usual formalities. There will be but little more executive busi ness accomplished by the Senate, as the Gov ernor is almost through with his list of appoint ments. It would do the heart of a lover of flowers good to see the magnificent camella bushes, now In full bloom. I pass one daily in the gar den of Col. Gamble, which is one mass of blushing beauty. From its top, some ten feet high, almost to the ground, it is literally cov ered with the rich, crimson, double flowers, relieved by the deep verdure of its polished leaves. In no other place, that 1 am acquaint ed with, does the japonica attain such perfec tion as in Tallahassee All varieties of this elegaut flower are found here—the scarlet, pink, white and variegated. The white variety seems to be the least hardy, and its buds were completely blighted by the frost of last Decem ber. Major Robert Gamble has two of this variety, whose history can be traced back nearly a century. A writer in the Floridian over the signature of “Farmer,” is quite gloomy over the present prospectsof this county. He states that there will be two hundred and fifty mules less worked this year than last, which fact means a de crease of lands cultivated of nearly ten thou sand acres, and a diminution in an average crop of over three thousand bushels of corn aDd two thousand bales of cotton. He admits great depression in the planting interests, and an alarming reduction in the value of lands. As causes of these troubles he assigns the sale and shipment elsewhere of that fine fer tilizer, cotton seed, which should be returned to tbe soil, and the system of renting lands to thriftless negroes on shares, which plan he warmly condemns as ruinous. To stop this latter leak he advises the method of employ ing laborers for wages. There certainly can be some means devised to alter this unfortu nate condition of affairs, and there are wise, cool heads here, with abundance of sagacity and intelligence, to discover and apply a remedy. Dr. Sheldon Stringer, who represents Her nando county in the Assembly, is a Tar-Heel, and was born in North Carolina in 1836. He removed to this State when but a child, and resided in Tainpa until the commencement of the great civil war. He was left fatherless when only eleven. Having selected medicine as his profession, he graduated in 1859 in the medical depart ment of the University of Louisiana. During the year 1860 he appeared for exami nation before the Army Medical Board in New York, and was informed that he would be commissioned as soon as his services were re quired. When the war broke out he entered the State service as Surgeon in charge of the battalion at Tampa, serving successively on the staffs of Generals Trapier, Finegan, Milton and Turner. At tbe close of the struggle he settled at Brooksville, Hernando county, where he is now engaged in the practice of his profession and in orange culture. For a number of years he has acted as the Chairman of the Demo cratic Executive Committee of his county, and the heavy majorities then given attest his skill as an organizer. He is a very clever, polished gentleman, as well as a skillful and successful physician, and the people of his county hold him in the high est esteem and respect. Senate bill No. 190 authorizes the Ti ustees of the Internal Improvement Fund of the State of Florida to protect the interest of the said fund by becoming a bidder and purchaser of the railroads from Lake City to Quincy, and the branches to Monticello and from Tal lahassee to St. Marks, should the same be sold as provided in tbe seventh clause of the decree in the case of J. Fred Schutte an t others, complainants, vs, the Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad Company, the Florida Central Railroad Company and otheis, de fendants, and for other purposes. Colonel Moore, of the Assembly, has intro duced a stringent bill to protect the citizens of this State against the use of concealed weapons. It provides that persons who own and carry such arms shall pay a tax of five dollars and obtain a license from tke County Clerk, and those who do not report the same shall pay a fine not less than one nor more than five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not more than six months nor less than thirty days. Dealers in such weapons shall procure a li cense for fifty dollars, and shall report the sale of any such article immediately to the Clerk under heavy penalties. The provisions of this act do not apply to Sheriffs and their deputies, nor to constables charged with the duty of executing writs, and collectors of revenue. One of the most important railroad bills passed during the present session is that grant ing ten thousand acres per mile to the Palatka and Indian River Railway Company. This route will be some seventy miles in length, and will open, when completed, a very fine region of country, now almost unsought in consequence of the lack of transportation facilities. The southern terminus of this road connects with Mosquito lagoon, at or near Aurantea, at the head of Indian river, which is navigable for boat? for a distance of one hundred and seventy-five miles. The northern terminus, Palatka, one of the most flourishing towns on the St. John’s river, is distant from Jacksonville about seventy miles, and is a noted rendezvous for tourists. The sound policy of making this paint the northern terminus of the proposed road is obvious, from the fact that it is the most southern point for ocean steamship connec tions, in addition to the lines of river steamers plying to the head waters of the Bt. John’s. There will probably soon be other railroad connections that wiil unite this magnificent country with the great railway systems of the North and West. It is said on the authority of most reliable gentlemen that this road wul be an assured fact, as its incorporators include many of the solid men of the country who own large landed interests along the route, which only require the powerful aid of rapid transit to render this one of the most desirable sec tions of Florida. The ample private means of the incorpora tors, together with the assistance guaranteed by the State, combine to give the assurance that this enterprise will be carried to a success ful termination. Senator Delano, of Volusia, prepared and carried through the bill against considerable opposition, and its success is greatly due to his personal ability and industry. Himself an old civil engineer, of much personal experience he was able to combat and overcome many of the objections urged by bis opponents. The Senate fairly caught up with its budness yesterday, and adjourned at an early hour having c.eaned off the table of the Secretary’ The interval gave the different committees several hours for consultation, and they were all at work in the afternoon. Most of the heavy wprk of the session, so fqr aa the Senate is concerned, ha§ bean accomplished by that bodr- W. H. B. Sanitary Suggestion*.

Southern Military and the Inaugu ral Cerefllontee—General Sherman’s Appointment of General Fleld- Blathersltltee—Return of the Lob byist— Scooping In Their Perqui sites. Washington, February 26.— The Southern military organisations which take part in the inaugural ceremonies will be treated with every courtesy and made as comfortable as possible. I make this statement because the impression to the contrary may have gone abroad as the result of the discussion which has sprung up in one of the committees which are arranging for the inauguration, and in one of the political organizations which is torn up in mind about General Sherman's order of procession and other arrangements. The com mittee referred to is called the Military Com mittee, and is composed in the main of gen tlemen. Unfortunately, it also has among its members several blatherskites. The blather skites have got upon their feet and howled because General Sherman has seen fit to place in command of one of the divisions of the pro cession General Field, formerly of Georgia, and now Doorkeeper of the House of Repre sentatives. The blatherskites talked loud and roared about loyal men having to march under the command of an “ex rebel General.” Much more in this same line did the blather skites vociferate. Not one of them ever saw a battle even a far way off, but being govern ment employee they must seize whatever op portunity presents itself to show their loyalty and entire fitness to serve the Federal machinery. The gentlemen of the committee listened with but little patience to what the blatherskites had to say. it was all words. The political organization that Is also alarmed about General Field calls itself the “Union Veteran Club.” It is very mod, and when they have meetings each member vies with the other in talking about rebels “over us” and in denouncing General Sherman. These alleged veterans are very young; no body would take them for veterans. They (must have entered the war when ranging in years from twelve to fourteen in order to have seen any service. In one point they are vete rans, though. They commenced holding gov ernment places when quite young, and in that capacity certainly are veterans. General Sher man took no notioe of these howlings. The demand of the veterans that General Field should be withdrawn from their loral contemplation was unheeded by him. The veterans have, therefore, de cided and have had it duly printed that they will not parade on the 4th of March. This is sad: it is very sad. We were in hopes of having a big procession, but of coune might as well give the whole thing up now that the alleged veterans have declined to turn out! Nobody in Washington sustains the blather skites. Let it not be thought that Southern organizations will be insulted when they come here. They will receive eve-y courtesy. The executive committee having the whole matter of the inauguration in charge cordially and earnestly invited all Southern organizations to participate. They meant what they said, and the more favorable responses there are the better will they and the people of the city be pleased. The blatherskites belong to neither of these classes. General Sherman to day said to me. in his usual emphatic way, that our blatherskites were d—d fools." “1 appointed General Field to command oneoi the divisions,” he continued, “because the Southern people ought to be represented. He is an excellent man for the place and a good representative of the Bouth. I am going to keep him there. I hope no Southern or ganization will be deterred from coming here on account of the d—d nonsense that has been spoken in the past day or two. When I ap pointed General Field suppose he had declined 1 These same people would have been just es loud in denouncing him for an unreconstructed rebel who would not condescend to take part in the inauguration of a Republican Presi dent.” General Field, when the blatherskites began to talk, wrote to General Sher man that he would leave the matter in his hands. If he wanted to relieve him of the command of one of the divisions in the parade it made no difference whatever to him—in fact he would enjoy looking at the procession much better than directing a portion of it. Gen. Sher man replied that be saw no r pay, besides inducing them to become drunkards. Temperance men and lovers of good morals should cease to patronize merchants who mix liquors in their merchandize. But what shall be done with the murderers—if caught? If with wilful intent—hang. But how many who are not thus convicted labor along beside some convicted of petty crime. Those bloodthirsty monsters should be chained to hard labor iu the depths of a coal mine, never mors to see tbe sun, and an annual report of their abject condition published for the benefit of all their tike minded fellows—or else for life carry a ball and chain working the streets where tbe blood of the slaughtered cries from the ground against them—a convict catechism of the in tense sort—if by any means the coming crimi nals could be frightened from their deadly work!

Stoe Homing ftoro. NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWS BUILDING). J. H. KBTILL, Proprietor. W. T. THOMPTOIf, Editor. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1881. TAPPING THE WIBES. A conference of the Democratic Senator* waa held on Saturday to exchange view* upon the order of business and other topics. The necessity ol electing a successor to Mr. Tnurman as President pro tern, of the Senate was brought to the notice of the gathering, and it was agreed to hold a caucus for this purpose before the 4th of March. Mr. Wallace was directed to examine the cre dentials of the new Senators. It is thought the present organization will be continued, provided the Democrats control the Senate. The jury in the case of Colonel Cash, on trial at Darlington, S. C., for the killing of Colonel Shannon, failed to agree, and have been discharged. They stood eight for con viction and four for acquittal. The result is regarded as a victory for the anti-duelling sentiment of the State. The New York stock market on Saturday opened strong and buoyant, and notwith standing the fluctuations that were wit nessed closed with prices showing npward tendencies. The transactions aggregated 611,000 shares. Mt. St. Marv’s College at EmmetUburg, Md., is reported to be involved to the ex tent of from $150,000 to $300,000. The trouble began during the war, from which the college has never recovered. A receiver has been appointed. A dispatch from SandersvlUe, Ga., aays the negro prisoners in the Washington county jail attempted to burn the structure on Saturday night. They had planned their escape but were foiled by the vigilance of the Deputy Sheriff. The House went into committee of the whole on the sundry civil bill. The pend ing amendment appropriating $300,000 for naval coasting stations on the Isthmus of Panama was adopted. An amendment offered by Mr. Manning, of Mississippi, appropriating SIO,OOO to investigate the Labits of the cotton worm, was ruled out. An amendment was adopted fixing the amount for surveying public lands at $300,000. Mr. Ilorr, of Michigan, offered an amendment providing that Wm. F. Geary (Federal official) who was shot in South Carolina re cently by one Kelly, shall be paid SIOO per mouth from February 14th, ISSI, so long as he shall be disabled by wounds received In the discharge of his duty. Mr. Blount raised a point of order on the resolution, which, after a scene of wild confusion, was sustained, and the amendment ruled out. An even noisier discussion arose on the proposition to pay certain contestants an increase over the amounts specified. Finally the bill, as amended, was reported to the House, aud a recess was taken till to-day. In the Senate, Saturday, Mr. Vance in troduced a bill for the purchase of the papers of the late Generals Bragg and Polk. Mr. Burnside addressed the Senate on the resolutions, reciting that the consent of the Ucited States is a condition precedent to the building of inter-oceanic canals. Mr. Eaton expressed a desire to have the reso lution passed, but as Mr. Windom, who desired to speak upon the subject, was absent, the matter went over. The Sen ate then took up the river and har bor bill. Various amendments to the meas ure were proposed, the majority of wbieh were rejected. Among those rejected were several preposed by Mr. Brown for the Im provement of Georgia streams. Mr. Hill dwelt upon the exactions of railroad mag nates in the matter of freight charges, and argued In favor of an improved system of water ways. Despite the determined oppo sition of its opponents the bill was passed, and the Senate adjourned. The House Committee of Ways and Means met on Saturday and instructed Mr. Tucker to call the bill up from the Speak er’s table when tbe sundry civil bill should have been disposed of. There are nine bills ahead of it, but the House can, at its pleasure, lay them aside and pass to the consideration of the measure. In the suit of the French Cable Company for an injunction to restrain the telegraphic consolidation, affidavits were filed and ar guments heard on Saturday. Jay Gould and President Green of the Western Union testified. Cornell White has recovered $35,018 37 damages from the Old Dominion Steamship Company for the loss of the excursion steamer Rockaway. Dispatches from Newcastle, Natal, say the Boers have again defeated General Col ley, who Is reported killed. Only a remnant of his force escaped. Eagan, charged with complicity in the Madison tragedy, was discharged by the Florida Supreme Court on Saturday. A Constantinople dispatch says it is stated that England, in reply to a request of Greece to England to object to Egypt’s participation in the event of Turco- Grecian hostilities, advised Greece to await tbe result of the pour pariers. No agreement was reached by the ap portionment conference committee, and the Democrats have determined to let the bill give way for the time to the funding bill. Meetings of the Land League were held in Brooklyn and New York yesterday. At tbe Brooklyn meeting a Hollander epoke and urged that the Irish should battle for their rights in the 6ame spirit as the Boers. John Devoy was at the New York meeting and was loudly cheered. M. D. Gallagher spoke on the aims and character of the League. The bill for the creation of a Railroad Commission passed the Alabama Legisla ture and was signed by the Governor on Saturday. The bill to compel outside in surance companies to make deposits of State bonds failed. The birthday of Victor Hago was cele brated by a monster demonstration in Paris, In which it is estimated three hundred thou aand persons participated. Louis Blauc de livered a panegyric on the veteran poet, au thor and statesman, in the Trocadero. Fifteen children were burned to death In an orphanage in Pennsylvania last nlgbt. A special session of the Senate is to bs for March 4th, to consider the nomi nations of President Garfield. The new prohibitory law in Kansas compels every physician to take an oath not to prescribe any article into which alcohol enters, except it is necessary for tbe health of the patient, and every drug gist to take a similar oath not to put up or sell any such article except on the written or printed prescription, duly signed, of a practising physician. Under that law no one can buy camphor, cologne or flavoring extracts, except upon a physician’s prescription. After March 4th the retiring Cabi net members will have to go to work. Evarts, it is understood, will resume the practice of law, Schurz will settle in St Louis as a journalist, while Ramsey goes on an European tour. The remainder still have hopes of being favored in some way by the incoming administration. It is stated that General Grant and Senator Hamlin will be appointed em bassadors to negotiate the proposed treaty with Mexico. With so many liberal donations and fat offices pouring in upon him, it is about time for Gen. Grant to put his hat upon his head. A church and two hundred houses have been demolished and several per sons killed by shocks of earthquake at 8L Michael’s, in the Azores. It is re ported that there were no less than thirty six successive shocks. How the Death of Senator Carpen ter May Affect the Reorganization of the Senate. The death of Senator Carpenter, says tbe Washington Pott, disarranges the plans which, it is believed, had been made for a reorganization of the Senate' after the 4th of March. It has been the invariable custom for the outgoing President to call an extraordinary session of the Senate on the 4th of March, to confirm the Cabinet officers of the new administration, and such other impor tant appointments as he may choose to make at the beginning of his term. The Forty-sixth Congress expires at noon on March 4, the end of the third legislative day of the month. The new Vice President is sworn in a few moments before noon on the 4th; the proclamation convening the extraordina ry session of the Senate is read, and when the new legislative day begins, the Senators elected from the 4th of March take the oath, and the Senate assists in tbe inauguration of tbe President. It is believed that the Republicans intended, shortly after March 4th, to attempt the election of new officers of the Senate, relyiog upon the votes of Senator Mahone and Vice President Arthur to give them a majority for that purpose. Mr. Carpen ter’s death renders it impossible to adopt such a programme unless the President should deem it wise not to convene an extraordinary session of the Senate on the 4th of March. The Wisconsin Legislature is now in session, conse quently the Governor cannot appoint. Under the law the Legislature cannot elect until the second Tuesday after the vacancy occurs. Even should there be no protracted struggle for the honor of filling Mr. Carpenter’s seat, anew Sena tor cannot be sworn in from Wisconsin before the 12th of March. The two houses of the Legislature will meet sep arately on the Bth proximo to choose a Senator. If there is no delay the houses will elect in joint conven tion on the day following. Three days will necessarily elapse before the cre dentials reach Washington, and the new Senator can be sworn in. If the Presi dent convenes an extra session on the 4th of March the Democrats, being in a majority, will immediately proceed to the reorganization of the committees. The Executive business will be disposed of, and the Senate will adjourn, placing it out of the power of the Republicans to reorganize until next winter, and possibly not for a long time to come. Changes in the strength of the two parties in the Senate may occur before next December. It is with in the power of Mr. Hayes to give the Republican party material assistance at this juncture. The Senate is a perpet ual body, and the presence of the twen ty-five Senators whose new terms begin on the 4th of March is not indispensable to the inauguration of General Garfield. Mr. Hayes, by calling an extraordinary session of the Senate to meet on the 15th of March, or by calling no session what ever, leaving that duty to be performed by the President elect, would obviate the difficulty. In so doing, however, the precedents of the past would be disre garded. The Chicago Tribune suggests a trick by which the law may be evaded and the vacant seat of the deceased Senator be filled by a Radical in time to partici pate in a Radical reorganization of tbe Senate. “It is true,’’says the Tribune, “that, under the law for filling a vacan cy in the United States Senate during the session of the Legislature of the State in which such vacancy occurs. Senator Carpenter’s successor cannot be elected until the second Tuesday after the official announcement of his death shall be made. This will prevent the choice of his successor by election until Tuesday, March 8, but the delay can be avoided by an adjournment of the Legislature sine die, with the understanding that the Governor shall call anew session after the 4th of March. In the meantime the Governor will be authorized to appoint a successor to Senator Carpenter’s seat, because the law does not impose upon him, in the absence of the Legislature, the delay which it otherwise required. The Re publicans may possibly indicate by cau cus action their preference for the tem porary appointment, which the Governor might follow to relieve himself from em barrassment. After reassembling the Legislature -would be able to proceed regularly with the election of Senator." Such a manoeuvre would be worthy of the Radicals, whose motto is “anything to preserve the party in power.” Such a proceeding would not only be disgrace fully partisan, but clearly in violation of the letter and spirit of the law, which authorizes the Governor to fill such vacancies in the United States Senate only when the Legislature of the State is not in session. The vacancy in this case occurred while the Legisia ture of Wisconsin is in regular session. The action of that body should be regu lated by the existing law and not by tbe exigencies of party. To depart from the order of proceeding as prescribed by the law, and temporarily adjourn for the sole purpose of giving the Governor an opportunity to evade the law, would be disgraceful even to the Radical party. Defeat of the Radical Ring in Phila delphia. The Philadelphia Bulletin, whose can didates were defeated at the recent elec tion in that city, says of Tuesday’s work: “Philadelphia went Democratic, yes terday, by one of those wild surges of well managed excitement that some times sweep over communities, and the old flag that was hauled down by a dis gusted people, in 1871, again floats over what has so long been the great citadel of American Republicanism. To day, the Democratic party, skill fully seizing the opportunity put within its reach by the inflamed condition of popular sentiment, has captured the three important positions of the Mayor alty, City Comptrollership and the Tax Office, giving to that party a tremendous leverage for the entire overthrow of Reputdicanism in Philadelphia. It would be foolish to undervalue the moral effect of such a Democratic victory. It will undoubtedly be felt throughout the States, and'will be found exerting itself with all its natural forces in the future, not only in its effects upon the welfare of Philadelphia, but in those still greater interests that reach to all the borders of Pennsylvania.” That result, says the Courier-Journal, gives the lie to the Republican assertion, after the election in November, that the people of the United States had declared in favor of Republican principles for all time to come. If the people can, in a few weeks, overturn the massive machinery in the greatest Republican stronghold in the country, it is evident that under the pressure of profound dis gust with high-handed and corrupt Re publican methods in national politics, they can hurl that party from power at Washington with all its stupendous machinery for self perpetuation. If Gar field takes aboard a little too much stalwartism, his party may rest assured that they will be cut off like the wicked. The total amount of the claims of the depositors in the swindling “Ladies’ Deposit” institution, In Boston, the manager of which is now in jail on an indictment for fraud, is $257,990. HAYES’LAST RECEPTION AT THE WHITE HOUSE. A Splendid Affair—Three Tfeonuod 6wti la Attendance—The To lie t tee—Capture of Truant Cos ns real men, Etc. Correspondence of the Baltimore Suit. The fourth and final reception of the diplomatic corpe was given at the Ex ecutive Mansion by the President and Mrs. Hayes on Thursday evening. As was anticipated, it was largely attended, the number being estimated at three thousand. There were in all twelve hundred invitations issued, each being for four persons. The diplomatic receptions given dur ing the administration of President Hayes have all been great successes in a social way, and that of this evening was no exception to the rule. Much of this is due to the charming agreeableness of the esteemed lady who has presided over the internal affairs of the White House, and many who have in previous years made it a point to absent themselves from formal receptions have felt a pleas ure in participating in those which Mrs. Hayes has presided over. Though in name a diplomatic recep tion, the d plomats and their ladies formed quite a small portion of the im mense gathering present Thursday night. The diplomats were, as usual on such occasions, attired in the dress of their courts, and presented a brilliant appearance as they moved about the grand rooms of the White House, which has been the scene of so many notable and brilliant gather ings. To meet them nearly all the offi cers of the army and navy in the city were invited to be present, and the most of them accepted the invitation. They too were attired in showy uniforms, re splendent in gilt and glitter, the whole, as brought out by the hundreds of gas jets burning overhead, forming a scene that was extremely pleasing to the eye. Added to this was a great concourse of handsomely dressed ladies, which gave a richness and animation that perfected the whole. The majority of the ladies wore full dress, and almost every con ceivable color ot material was brought into use. Rare ornaments, regal jewels and flowers were to be seen every where. To accommodate the vast number the arrangements were perfect The bed chambers, the waiting rooms and the halls up stairs were turned into cloak rooms for the ladies, while the state and private dining rooms and several of the halls down stairs were occupied as sup per rooms. The hundred additional ex perienced waiters who were employed for tbe evening made the task of serving the supper au easy one, notwithstanding the large number. There was no regu lar set meal, though the supper was an extra prepared and a very substantial one. The dishes were elaborate and the confections were especially beautiful. In accordance with the well known views of Mrs. Hayes there was no wine served, and indeed none has ever been asked for or expected at the White House since she declared against wine at state dinners. In this declaration Mrs. Hayes has received the cordial support of all the leading members of the diplo matic corps and their ladies, notwith standing what has been said to the con trary. The United States Marine Band, which was stationed in the main hail, furnished music during the evening, the selections being from the popular operas of the day, and one or two from “The Smugglers,” an opera written by Prof. Sioussa, the new leader of the band, which is soon to be produced in New York. The east room, the blue, green and red parlors were used for promena ding. The guests were received in the central parlor by tbe President and Mrs. Hayes, the members of tbe diplo matic corps and their ladies be ing introduced by Secretary Evarts and Sir Edward Thornton, the English minister, who is, on account of time of service, now the dean of the corps. The army and navy officers and their ladies were presented afterwards and then in turn intro duced generally. The Justices of the Supreme Court and their la dies were likewise special guests, though all the others present except those named were general guests. The leading members of both branches of Congress were present in numbers larger than usual. The reception did not get fairly started until 9 o’clock. Mrs. Hayes never looked brighter or happier than she did during the evening, and as usual Impressed all her guests favorably. She was becomingly dressed in a reception dress of silver-colored and white satin. The corsage, draperies and train were of silvered satin. The dress was cut square in the neck, and was handsomely finished with bands of crys tal passementerie. The upper part 'of the elbow sleeves were of crystal em broidered crepe lisse, garnitures of the same material being mingled in the dra peries. The petticoat was likewise of white satin. She wore neither flowers or jewels. An incident of the evening was the capture of several members of the House of Representatives by deputies of the Sergeant-at-AriES, who were armed with warrants issued by Speaker Randall. The House having ordered a call of the House, their presence was needed at the capitol. They went reluctantly, though they had imagined they were safe for the evening. Other members were similarly treated as they were leaving the White House. The reception lasted until nearly midnight, and will long be remembered as an occasion of rare social pleasure. Preparations for the Inauguration Ball. Chicago Timet. The grand hall of the National Mu seum building, where the inaugural ball is to be held, will at once be put in readi ness for the event. The hall itself covers over 80,000 square feet, but is really divided into a dozen or more smaller halls, divided from each other by piers or arches. The piers will be adorned in the main hall with the coat of arms of the different States and Ter ritories. Above them, and to which they will be secured, will be the coat of arms of the nation. The lat ter will be draped by National and State flags. The ceiling will be deco rated by flower garlands and loops of national colors. In the centre of the rotunda, under the dome, there will be a colossal statue of Liberty. This has already been erected. The figure holds in her left hand the American shield; in the right is a torch, from which will burn an electric light, the rays of which will be thrown in every direction. The figure is sixteen feet high, and looks as if It were cut in marble. From the base of the pedestal to the light in the right hand is a measurement of thirty feet. On the eight piers of the dome surrounding the statue there will be emblems of industry, science, painting, architure, scripture, agriculture, commerce and law. The galleries and the balconies that surround the hall will be decorated mainly with flags and draperies. It is expected that the President and the invited guests will be in the main hall on the west end of the building. That side will be deco rated with the flags of all nations, sur mounted by the American eagle—indica tive of peace with all nations. The promenade music will be in tbe gallery at the east end of the building. The grand orchestra of one hundred people will be placed at tbe south end of the building, which has been proportionately enlarged for that purpose. Woman suffrage is. receiving hard blows in a number of States. Several Legislatures have had the subject under consideration this winter, and, we be lieve, in every instance the test has resulted in an adverse decision. Neither party, it is evident, yet considers itself in need of the votes of the women of the country. (Earpfttttrg. JAS.

SAVANNAH residents who have for the peat season missed the presence of Hr. W. LUDDEN. our Senior Partner, from his accus tomed place in our ware rooms, may have thought that he had in part or wholly with drawn his Interest in the business. Certain parties who are considerably exer cised about our business have circulated re ports to that effect. For the information of the first named, and to allay the generous solicitude of the latter we will state: That Mr. LUDDEN'S connec tion with our firm has in no wise been changed, and his absence from Savannah is entirely in our interest. The increasing business of our bouse, and the great difficulty experienced in the past two years in getting Pianos and Organs from the factories as fast as we needed them, ren dered it necessary for us to have a resident Northern buyer who, being tight on the ground, could secure for us every advantage which could be obtained by Northern competi tors. We have accordingly located Mr. LUDDEN permanently in New York city, in charge of our New York Branch Office, at 33 East 14th street, where he is engaged in buying, selling and renting Pianos and Organs, Writing ana Compiling Music Books, superintending our Music Publishing Department, and editing ‘The Southern Musical Journal.” He is also making a specialty of selecting and purchasing Pianos. Organs, Church Pipe Organs or Musi cal Instruments of any kind for those who specially desire the benefit of his professional experience and judgment. The New York Branch has proved a most valuable auxiliary to our business, and enables us to meet the wants of oar patrons far better than ever before. We propose to enlarge and develop it, and eventually to establish in the great metropolis a Music House which shall rank with any in the United States. The general management of our Savannah House is now. as it has been for years, with our Mr. J. A. BATES. The Junior Partner, Mr. T. J. ELMORE, has sole charge of the office and all financial matters. With three active partners, whose ability in their special departments is proved by tbe re markable success of the House; with a New York Branch House, and flourishing Branch Houses in Augusta, Atlanta, Macon, (ia., Greenville, S. C., Charlotte, N. C., Selma, Ala., Jacksonville and Pensacola, Fla., all under one management, we believe ourselves now in bet ter shape to supply the Southern Music trade than ever before, and can guarantee our patrons greater inducements than can be else where extended. With our sincere thanks to the generous pub lic which has given us such a magnificent sup port, we respectfully ask its continuance, and pledge ourselves to each and every patron, “FULL MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN AND RUNNING OYER.” LUDDEN A BATES, Savannah, Ga.

We have received a pamphlet copy of the annual report of the Mayor, and the reports of the different departments of the city, with the compliments of Mr. Geo. N. Nichols, the printer. As of general interest, we make the following synopsis of the most important reports, principal of which is that of Dr. J. T. MacF&rland, the efficient Health Officer. After referring to the or ganization of the Board of Sanitary Com missioners, and the manner In which that branch of the public service has been con ducted, the Health Officer says concerning the HEALTH DEPARTMENT. Special care and attention has been given to the sanitary condition of the city and sur roundings, and many nuisances have been abated. The quarantine regulations of this port have been very rigid; so much so as to cause demur in several instances. The Board, fully appreciating the trust reposed in them, and the responsibility involved, at the same time being desirous not to unnecessarily impede commerce, have acted throughout the year with deter mination to do all In their power to prevent the Introduction by vessels of any disease Into the city. Special attention has been directed to ballast from infected or suspected ports. No sand or mixed ballast has been allowed to be brought to the city, and until late in the month of November, even stone ballast brought from such ports was discharged at Quarantine Station. Tbe dis charge of ballast is considered absolutely necessary to the thoroughly cleansing of a vessel, as the timbers cannot be reached without so doing. The carrying out of this important regulation necessarily caused some detention, which is Increased by the lazy working of the crews, and the want of additional wharf room, so as to allow more than one vessel to discharge at the same time. The discharging of ballast, sweeten ing of bilges and timbers, with thorough fumigation, has been the uniform mode of treating vessels subjected to quarantine. No case of infectious or contagious disease has been|brougbt to this port during thelpast year, nor has any case developed while ves sels have been undergoing quarantine deten tion in fact, but one case of sickness has been under tbe treatment of the quarantine officer, that being a Cap tain of an inland coastwise schoon er, and the disease bilious fever. Wire communication from the city to Quaran tine Station Is much needed. It is Impossi ble at many times for the quarantine offi cer to reach the telegraph station on Tybee Island in consequence of stormv weather, and very often, owing to the wind being from or to the station, the signal flag on Tybee Island wharf cannot be seen by him. I have endeavored, by official communica tions, to secure a proposal from the Tele phone Company to build a line to Quaran tine Station, and rent same to the city, and i egret to say that, up to this time,my efforts have been fruitless. During the year I have made several official visits to the Quarantine Station, and report the building and wharf in very good condition, the foundations of these having been much improved by the deposit of ballast. I avail myself of this opportunity to commend Dr. J. A. Huger for the manner in which he has discharged the arduous duties of his office. In the month of August the Sanitary Board were officially notified by W. H. Elliott, M. D., Inspector National Board of Health, that the Sapelo Quarantine Station, located on Black Beard Island, was ready to receive vessels arriving off this port from Infected or suspicious ports having sickness on board at time of arrival or hav ing had same during voyage. In accord ance with instructions, I issued notice to pilots, giving this information, and directed them not to board such vessels but send them to the Sapelo Station. The establishment of this Quarantine Hospital will undoubted ly be a great relief to our harbor, should In fected vessels arrive, but fortunately to date we have bad no occasion to use it. Each pilot has from time to time been fur nished with printed quarantine regulations, and masters of vessels are now furnished by the quarantine officer with a printed copy of regulations governing them. I have made inspection of the city prop erty at Timber Landing kuown as the pest house, and find the buildings, fencing and other property in good condition and well cared for by the keeper. The city and port having been exempt from smali-pox, this property has not been used as a hospital. I have given medicrl and surgical atten tion to the poliee force and the paid Fire Department. I have given fourteen burial certificates for whites and one hundred and nineteen for black 6 and colored. Of these there were still born, whites six, still born black and colored seventy-one. Two physicians are employed by the city to attend those who are unable to pay for medical attendance, aud medicines are fur nished free of cost. Many, particularly among the black and colored, do not avail themselves of this proffered charity. Why not, and the remedy, are problems to be solved. Until lately the National Board of Health have been doing this city unintentional but great injustice, by publishing the death rate of races con solidated. Under instructions of the Sanitary Board, I eutered objection to the tabular form used and have succeeded in having the report so amended as to show at a glance the death rate of whites and colored sepa rate. During the past year Savannah, like many other Southern cities, was visited by an epi demic of dengue fever. The disease made its appearance in September and continued until cold weather, very few persons in the city escaping an attack. Diphtheria has ex isted in sporadic form throughout the year. Disinfecting and cleansing of sinks and premises has been promptly and thoroughly attended to where such cases have made their appearance. With these exceptions, our citizens have cause to be thankful for the good health which has prevailed. No case of small pox has occurred iu our midst, neither has any ease been brought to Quarantine Station. The City Physicians were supplied with bovine virus during January, 1880, and instructed to vacci nate the poor who came under their charge. I have reason to be lieve that vaccination under this Instruction did not become general. I now have a sup ply of bovine virus, which will be used under direction of the Sanitary Board, who are desirous of furnishing the protection of vaccination to all who are unable to pay for it. It is to be hoped that some plan of ac tion will be inaugurated by which vaccina tion will become general, as in this way only can our community be protected from this dreadful scourge. Now, when our city is free from this disease, is the time to act upon this very important sanitary meas ure. Vaccination is the only protec tion against small pox, and, although this fact Is so well known, It is aston ishing and lamentable to find so large a portion of our community who are unpro tected by this simple but effectual safe guard. In closing this report, I would most re pectfully bring to the consideration of the municipal authorities, and the community at large, the following suggestions: First. That all applicants for admission into public schools be required to produce a physician’s certificate that they have been successfully vaccinated, and that admission be refused until such certificate is pre sented. Second. That re-vaccination be advised, as the necessity for the same is taught by experience. Third. That legislation be invoked to make vaccination compulsory, or as nearly so as the laws of the State will allow. Fourth. That our citizens be advised and urged to adopt tbe rule of not employing any servant, unless he or she Is vaccinated, or will at once submit to the operation, A singular feature in the report is the statement in reference to the medical and surgical attention given members of the Police and Fire Departments. During the year there were 235 visits paid policemen at the barracks, 43 visits to policemen at home, and for the same period only 2 visits to firemen at tfecir stations, and I at home. It will thus be seen that while the sick list of the police was very large, that of the fire men was exceedingly 6mall. REPORT OP THE SINKING FUND COMMIS SIONERS. The report of the Sinking Fund Com missioners is explicit and concise, and will repay careful perusal: New Bonds, on whieh we signed cer tificates, turned over to City Treasurer for exchange during the year ISSO S 285,000 New Bonds, on which we signed cer tificates. previously turned over to City Treasurer for exchange.. 3,175,000 Total amount of New Bonds, on which certificates were signed, tuned over to Treasurer $3,460,000 From this deduct two Bonds, of SSOO V each, handed by Treasurer for record and to verify cancellation of same, they having been issued with a non-uegotiable endorse ment and afterwards returned by owner in exchange for same amount of negotiable Bonds— 1,000 Making the annual amount Issued ana available for issue, on which certificates have been signed $3,459,000 Of this amount we find there have been Issued $3,226,200 in exchange for old bonds of same face value, with unmatured coupons thereto attached, which old bonds and cou pons we have carefully examined and found to be properly cancelled. We have also taken a record in detail of said bonds, so as to detect any duplicates or forgeries, should either exist, and the bonds be presented hereafter. There also appears to have been Issued new bonds amounting to $115,200, In ex change for past due coupons, and in pay ment of interest on past due bonds and coupons, as per a report In detail for 1879 and 1880, banded us by the City Treasurer la few days ago. we find, is not j i/idlnance, which er ~_.iuesfor issue of new bonds In exchange for Old bonds only, and at their “face value.” (See section lof an Or dinatce to Compromise the Bonded Debt of the City of Savannah). As it appears from statement of the Treasurer that the city redeemed by pur chase, for cash from treasury, during the pending of the compromise, $78,000 of old bonds which were destroyed in presence of the Finance Committee, as per tneir certifi cates duly on record in the Treasurer’s office, we do not consider the use of a sim ilar amount of new bonds, for the purpose for which they were used in this instance, against the spirit of the ordinance, and hence the over issue, or actual Increase of the “face” of the bonded debt, is $42,200 only. From the foregoing the total amount of new bonds issued appears to be $3,341,400, leaving in tbe bands of the Treasurer availa ble for exchange $117,600. As this amount is probably larger than will be required for some time, now that bonds come in very slowly, by reason of so comparatively few be ing outstanding, and, as a considerable num ber of tbe bonds in hands of the Treasurer are of the denomination of S3OO, a denomi nation that appears not to be In request, we would respectfully suggest that two hun dred of these bonds, taking the highest numbers, be returned to us for cancellation. The amount that would be left in hands of Treasurer, after such cancellation, would be ample for all probable applications for exchange for some time. As more bonds were required, the Com missioners could sign certificates on those of denominations more in request than the three hundred dollars issue. With the funds at our disposal, ($4 40 balance from 1879, SIO,OOO received from 1880, and $26 35 drawn on account 1881, total $10,030 75), we have purchased new bonds of the face value of $12,600, and care fully cancelled same with all unmatured cou pons attached, and handed said bonds, Ac., to the City Treasurer for such final destruc tion as Council may direct. The details of our purchases are as follows: February 2, 1880, $3,300 bonds at 77% per cent 2,532 75 May 4, ISBO, $3,200 bonds at 77% per cent 2,488 00 August 6, 1880, $3,100 bonds at 81% per cent 2.445 00 November 3, 1880, $3,000 bonds at 85% per cent 2,565 00 Total. 1880 $12,600 bonds.costing $10,030 75 Pur’d previously 13.9P0 bonds.costing 9,995 60 Total purchased $26,500 $20,026 35 In addition to these new bonds cancelled, the City Treasurer has taken In payment of balances on ground rent lots, bonds amount ing to $3,100, the cancellation of whieh we have verified, and details duly placed on our records. The total amount of new bonds cancelled is thus $29,600, leaving $3,311,800 outstanding on 31st December. In conclusion, we beg to return our thanks to your Honor and to the City Treasurer and assistants,for aid and courtesy extended to us while engaged in the labori ous duty of examining the large number of old bonds received in exchange for the new issue up to 31st December, 1880. FIRE DEPARTMENT. Chief Engineer Blair, of the Savannah Fire Department, after giving some details in regai and to the property of the department, says: The entire property of the Department is in fair condition, but the engines begin to show the effects of age, all of them having been In use about fifteen years, and during that time have done good service. It is hardly to be expected that they will he in condition to last longer than four or five years, aud during that time will require much more repairs, comparatively, than in the past. For a more specific schedule of the prop erty of the Department, number of fires, etc., I respectfully refer you to the report of the Secretary. I again invite the earnest attention of Council to the inadequate supply of water in various parts of the city, particularly In the western and southeastern portions. Since my last report, I am gratified to state that openings to hydrants have been en larged in accordance with my recommenda tion, and the anticipated beneficial results are being realized. A large plug should be put immediately on Fahm street, near the old main, in order that should it become necessary, two engines could be worked at once. This would furnish a good supply of water for that neighborhood. Losses by fire during the year have been very small. The men of the force have been prompt in responding to all alarms, and are deserving of praise for faithful per formance of duty, I respectfully recom mend an annual appropriation by Council to each company of the department. At present they receive no compensation, while the men are subjected to expense for uniforms, etc. A small annual gratuity would be no more than an act of justice, and would act as an incentive to still greater efforts in the performance of duty, at all times arduous. Although the fire alarm telegraph is work ing very well at present, it requires a great deal of attention, and as the operator is frequently absent from the city, this duty devolves upon the Chief Engineer. I beg respectfully to recommend the removal of the fire alarm apparatus from the Exchange building to the fire bell at the police bar racks. The last named bell being much the largest, Its tones could be heard at greater distance and alarms be responded to in shorter time. I again urgently invite your attention to the “swinging harness,” referred to in my last report. This gearing is used iu nearly all the cities of the North aud West, and has proved, not only a saving in cost, but a re lief from chafing to horses, aql cause them to last much longer, which is an important consideration, aside from the mercy which should always be accorded these dumb ani mals, so faithful to their master, man. FOLICS DEPARTMENT. Gen. R. H. Anderson, Chief of the Po lice, gives the following interesting in formation in reference to that service: The aggregate strength of the department is fifty-six, as follows: Chief 1 Lieutenants 2 Sergeants 4 Privates 49 56 During the year, 1,749 arrests have been made, being 75 more than the year previous.

Off for Hl* missionary Field. Rev. J. R. Carter, who has been appointed by Bishop Pierce as missionary to El Paso, Texas, leaves our city for his distant field of labor this morning. He preached last night at Trinity Church, and his many friends in Savannah availed themselves of the opportunity to hear his last words of Instruction and counsel. He carries with him the hearty esteem of hundreds of our citizens, and their earnest prayers for his success in the great work to which he has devoted his life. SHOT IN HIS HOUSE. Mystery Surrounding an Assassina tion. On Saturday morning the Coroner, who had been notified the preceding evening of the death from a gun shot wound of a colored man named Abraham Stewart, at the house of hii brother in Brownsville, on the suburbs of the city, proceeded thither for the pur pose of holding an Inquest. The following facts were then ascertained: Stewart, who lives at Belmont, some five or six miles from the city, on the night of the 22d Inst., was sitting in his kitchen door, when he was fired upon by some party or parties unknown, who were concealed near by. He was struck in the abdomen, the ball passing through the intestines and lodging a little above the hip bone, and he fell to the floor. He was removed to his bed, which was occupied also by his son, C. H. Stewart, and, so far as could be learned, re ceived no medical or other attention. The next morning he was brought to the city and carried to the house of his brother, Duke Stewart, at Brownsville, where Dr. T. C. Harden was called to see him, and ren dered such services as were possible under the circumstances. An examination, how ever, satisfied him that the wound was mor tal, and the unfortunate man died on Fri day night. The shooting was not reported to any of the county or city officers, and it does not seem that any effort was made by the rela tives of Stewart to capture the assassins. The Coroner soon discovered that it would be useless to hold an inquest until some additional information in reference to the affair was obtained, and according ly postponed it until this morning at 10 o’clock, when it will be held at his office, corner of Jefferson and Liberty streets, and the jurors who are summoned are de sired to be prompt in their attendance. During Saturday, however, the Coroner had C. H. Stewart, M. Stewart, Martha Hey ward and John Anderson arrested on suspi cion of being concerned in the crime, and committed them to jail. Anderson was arrested at the Market in the afternoon. All the parties are colored and were arrest ed on the affidavit of Duke Stewart, brother of the deceased. A large number of witnesses have been summoned, and a thorough investigation of the case will be made. Abraham Stewart, the deceased, was a butcher in the Market for nearly thirty years, and was regarded as a worthy and in dustrious man. Tbe Close of Mias Calhoun’s Engage* ment. The engagement of the charming young actress, Miss Eleanor Calhoun, was brought to a close Saturday with two capital per formances. At the matinee “The Hunch back” was given to a very large and de lighted audience, and was presented in aU its details in the most satisfactory manner. The play is very popular In Savannah, and was produced with even greater effect and satisfaction than by Mrs. Bowers and Miss Thompson two years since. In the evening S&rdou’s great play of “Daniel Rochat” was given as the farewell piece to a very good Saturday night audi ence. The main lnterestj centers on two charac ters and most admirably did Miss Calhoun as “Leah,” and Mr. Hill as “Daniel Rochat,” sustain their parts, and the scene in “Leah’s” room, where “Rochat” implores her to abandon the “mummery” of a church marriage, and go with him as bis wife to bis home, the acting was very fine. Miss Calhoun .has scope for the display of her emotional ability, and used it to advantage. The support was good, and the entire performance enjoyable, especially the last two acts, which were given remarkably well. The company left for Augusta by the Central train yesterday, where they play one night only. We hope to have another visit from Miss Calhoun next season. The favorable impression she has created in Savannah will then ensure for her crowded houses. An Intereating Case. The case of Henry Juchter vs. Boehm, Bendheim Cos., which has been before the Superior Court the past several days, and which was on Saturday disposed of by the Judge granting a motion to non-suit, pos sesses points of considerable Interest. Dur ing its hearing, the court room has been thronged with merchants and others, and the arguments made by the respective coun sel have been listened to with more than usual interest. This case was for damages brought against the defendants to recover SIO,OOO on account of the suing out of certain ac tions against the plaintiff in 1878. In Jan uary of that year Mr. Boehm, as one of the firm of Boehm,Bendheim Cos., foreclosed a mortgage against the stock or goods in the store of Mr. Juchter, and afterwards sued out an attachment on another debt, and had it levied on other property of J uchter. Both these suits were decided adversely to Messrs. Boehm, Bendheim Cos., and the present case was brought to recover by reason of malicious prosecutions against Juchter. After the plaintiff’s evidence was all in, the defendants moved for a non-suit on the ground that no case had been made out that entitled the plaintiff to go to the jury. The argument occupied part of Thursday afternoon and until almost 2 o’clock yester day, when the court granted the motion im mediately upon the conclusion of the argu ment. The case Involved a great many points, and was very elaborately argued by counsel on both sides. Mr. R. R. Richards appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Tompkins Denmark and Chisholm Erwin for de fendants. It is understood that the cause will be carried to the Supreme Court. More Contributions. The foUowing additional contributions to the Masonic Fair have been received: Col. J. H. Estill has received the follow ing cash contributions for the Masonic Fair: Messrs. Smith, Dixon Cos., Baltimore. S2O. Messrs. H. D. Wade Cos., New York, S3O. Mr. B. H. Richardson has received a donation of $lO from Capt. T. A. Hooper,of the steamship Saragossa, for the Fair. Another contribution is thus pleasantly announced by the Wheeler Wilson Manu facturing Company, manufacturers of the Wheeler Wilson sewing machine, Bridge port, Conn., who write as follows: Mr. S. P. Hamilton; Dear Sir —We are in receipt of your let ter of the 19th inst., and it gives us pleasure to accede to your request, and we donate one of our No. 8 machines as our contribu tion to the Masonic Fair. Wishing you good success in the good cause, we are, yours truly, Wheelbr Wilson M’eg. Cos. Tbe Late Fire on tUe Bay. Mr. George A. Hudson on Saturday seht to this office a kerosene can and pistol taken from his store after the fire which destroyed his property. The can is half full of kero sene oil and the pistol is loaded, and are produced by Mr. Hudson as silent witnesses that the fire could not have originated in his establishment, as has been generally sup posed. The above paragraph, which appeared in the Sunday Telegram yesterday, has elicited the following: Editor Morning Hews It seems to me that the positive assertion of the Chief and all the firemen, of Captain Wm. Hone, Captain J. F. Torrant and others, who were first at the fire, that the fire did originate in Mr. Hudson’s store, and no other place, ought to be as convincing testimony as those “silent witnesses” which Mr. Hudson brings forward as evidence that it did not. Very respectfully yours, 'Andrew Hanlet. Superior Court. Hon. W. B. Fleming, Judge, presiding. Court met Saturday morning at 10 o’clock, when the following business was transacted: Henry Juchter vs. Boehm, Bendheim, Cos. Case. After argument from Judge Chisholm upon a motion for non suit, the court granted the motion in the following terms: “After full argument upon a motion for non suit Id tbls cause, made by the defend ants, after the evidence for plaintiff had closed, it is considered and ordered by the court that the motion for a non-suit be granted.” Court adjourned for the term.
