The Savannah Daily Herald. WEDNESDAY. MAY 10. 1865. FROM OUR EVENING EDITION, OP YESTERDAY. Meeting of the Citizens of (hat ham County# UNANIMITY OF FEELING. Resolutions, ot«. A mectiug of the citizens of Chatham County was held at the Exchange this morn ing, in response to the call published in this city, “for the purpose of devising some prac tical mode of ascertaining the views of the jieople as to the speediest plan of restoring the State to her original condition in the Union; and to provide for the assembling ot a convention of the whole people of Qeor gia at some suitable time and place for that purpose.” The meeting was well attended, all the leading citizens of Savaunah, and a large proportion of the principal property-hoiders of the city being present. The most influ ential class ot citizens pf the city and county was well represented, and the assemblage was therefore one of no ordinary significance. The meeting was called to order at a few minutes past eleven o’clock by Noah .B. Knapp, Esq., and Mayor Arnold was called to the chair. Th« organization of the meeting was per fected by the choice of the following Secre taries: John Gammed, John J. Kelly, John R. Wilder. Mayor Arnold then addressed the meetiug in a few well-chosen and appropriate remarks. The Mayor alluded to the efforts made just subsequent to the capture of the city by the Union forces, looking toward the calling of a State Convention. Petitions aud repre sentations were made to that end to the Governor and the Legislature ; the Legisla ture met and adjourned, and no action was taken in reference to a State Convention. But this was not a time for crimination and re-crimination. These were the times for honest aud persevering effort. It was a duty we owed to ourselves and to the city to pat ourselves back into our former condition. The Proclamation of Gov. Brown had some what changed the plan proposed. But it had not altered the views of the people. He be lieved that there was a determination through out Chatham to return to the Uniop, and there could bo no objection to giving expres sion to their sentiments in this preliminary meeting. Col. W. S. Rockwell, rose merely to offer a few suggestions. He alluded to the una nimity of opinion as to Kqw the proposed movement should be accomplished, and to the apprehensions existing in the minds of many that the military authorities would in terfere. He thought that the United States Government, both through Us military and civil branehea, would encourage and foster all action towards reconstruction, The policy of the Government was conciliation; and should we reject the profiered right hand-of fellowship, and re fuse the olive-branch ot peace? Should we not receive them like men, aud not draw back like children, afraid of the taunt of supplication. The remarks of Col. Rockwell were received with applause. On motiou a committee was appointed to dralt resolutions. The committee consisted of the following named gentlemen : Win. S. Rockwell, John Stoddard, Cos Noah B. Knapp, Edward Padelford, Antho ny Porter, Noble A. Hardee, Richard T. Gibson, Isaac Cohen, Henry Brigham, J. G. Mills, L. 8. "Bennett, Hiram Roberts, Geo. W. Wyley. The resolutions will be found in the Offi cial Report of the meeting, which will appear in our moia'ng edition. The meeting adjourned, subject to the the cali of the Chairman. A CnARtFSTOM Graveyard. —Not very far from Meeting Rtreet, the principal thorough fiare, and in the centre of the old part of the town, stands St. Philip's Episcopal Church, one of the oldest and wealthiest in Charles ton. About the ceDtre of the neglected graveyard, opposite the church, rest the bones of the lather of secession—the great evil genius of his country—John C. Calhoun. The tomb is a plain one, heavily slabbed with marble, but without ornament or sculp ture. Cut deep in the stone is the solitary inscription, “Calhouu.” Not a half a dozen paces away a shell has torn up the earth, and probably chipped off a fragment of marble waniiug on the slab—so nearly has the war visited the grave of the Nullifier.— Tire Prescotts, Hutchisons, Alstons, Peytons, and other aristocratic families lie quiet in the same. yard. The monument which records the virtues of R. J. Turnbull, one of the original fiie eaters, is grandiloquent. He died iu the “meridian splendor nr his fame" in lbC3 v and was the author of the “The Crisis ’—an iutrepid asserter ot the rights of Stales, whose fondest desire was “the post of greatest difficulty and danger.” Mr. Turn bull was aiso the author" of those famous sentiments, “It liberty is saved, all is saved • If liberty.is lost, ail is lost." These the epi taph tells us “were the golden rules of Ids life.” Wm. Johnson, a Judge of the United States Supreme Court (obiit 1834), I3 also buried here; likewise Col. Wm. Rhett, one of the founders of the Rhett family, a Brit »h officer of her Majesty's customs, who ar iv®d at Charleston, in 1(194. Chatham Cocktt Rlcoeds Saved. —We learn from a gentleman arrived from the in terior this morning, that while the .records of the Chatham Superior, Inferior aud Ordinary Courts were in the progress of being forward ed to Milledgeville from Macon, they were placed in box oars at Macon in the Central Railroad depot. The quick advance of the Union forces pievented the cars being taken to Milledgeville aud they were broken opeu; the boxes containing the books and papers q! the courts were broken open and their con tents scattered. The attention of the Hon. Philip M. Rus sell, the representative of Chatham county, having been called to the condition of the records, he applied for, and was kindly fur nished a guard to protect them. Mr. Russell called ou Dr. Wm. H. Cuyler, one of the Justices of the Inferior Court of Chatham county, aud they proceeded to the headquar ters of General Upton, who very kindly fur nished aid and transportation. All the books were saved, only a few] being lost.. The records are at present in a secure place in Macon, and as soon as transportation can be secured will be brought to the city. Gen. Upton has the thanks of the citizens of Chatham county for bis exertions to save the county records which are of incalculable value. Messrs: Cuyler and Russell are also entitled to the thanks of their constituents for attending to their interests abroad. Personal. —Mr. Justice James M. Wayne, of the Supreme Court of the United States, arrived at his home in this city on Sunday morning last. Justice Wayne was in fine health when he reached Hilton Head. He took passage on the steamer Sylph for Sa vannah, which got aground opposite Fort Pulaski, and for twelve hours was exposed to the cold night air, with no accommodations for sleeping or rest; a severe cold was thereby contracted. We are pleased to state, how ever, that this morning the health of our worthy fellow-citizen is improving. Justice Wayne is at the residence of his relative, Hugh H. Mercer, Esq., Congress street, south of Christ Church. Swkaixam’s Varieties. —This popular es tablishment will be again opened to the pub lic to-morrow (Wednesday) 'evening. New artists have been engaged who, although strange to the Savannah public, are eminent in their profession. The new scenery is fin ished. Mr. Sweatnam has recovered from the injury to his leg, aud as the ladies of the company are prepared with new acts, songs, etc., the place can scarcely fail to be emi nently successful. Ix attacking the Mobile foils, Gen. Mc- Arthur used mortars made of gum tree, hooped with iron, which answered every purpose. WASHINGTON NEWS. (From the New York Herald May 3d. J Wasiiixgtox, May 2, 18(15. Important Mission to Euaope. It Ls understood that Assistant Secretary Harrington will soon proceed to Europe on inportant public business. He will probably take with him specimens of all-th<r public securities, with a view to explain their value as iuvestmeuts, and to instruct bankers how to detect counterfeits. The Cabinet. It may be stated as a positive fact that for the present, with the exception of the Sec retary of the Interior, there will be no changes whatever in the Cabinet. Trial of Ex-Congressman Harris, pf Ma ryland. A number of officers of the army have been detailed to constitute a general court martial for the trial of Hon. Benjamin G. Harris, member of the last Congress from the disloyal congressional district of Maryland. Major Gen. John G.- Parke presides. The court convened to-day. Only two witnesses were examined. It is probable that the testimony wiil show that Harris has been guilty of uttering disloyal language, but it is doubtful if the proof will sustain the charge of open acts of disloyalty. Amount Os United States Securities Abroad. Information lias been received from onr consuls and from American bankers in Eu rope that there are now in European markets between three and four hundred millions of the United States bonds. The large amoxint of these securities are held by German cap italists and by the masses of the people as paramount investment. The late President's Carriages and Horsss for Sale. The carriages and horses of the lamented President Lincoln are to be disposed of at private sale. There are already numerous offers for them by those who are anxious to possess them as mementoes. Lincoln AlGniuntnt Association in Wash" iugton. An association has been formed here for the purpose of erecting in this city a suitable monument to the memory of the late Presi dent. The following are the officers of the association: Richard Walhch, Mayor ot Washington, President; Crosby S. Noyes, Secretary, and George W. liiggs, Treasurer. It is proposed to raise for this purpose a sum of at least one hundred thousand dollars by subscriptions, to be limited in amount from one to ten dollars per individual contributor. Bucb is the general solicitude to contribute for such purpose that it is not doubled the amount requisite can be promptly raised and the monument erected immediately. Per sons throughout tbe country desiring to con tribute are invited to send their contributions to the Treasurer of the association. Examination into the A flair* of the Treas ury Department. The Secretary of the Treasury has detailed two experienced officers of the department to aiake a thorough investigation of all the At ious bureaus of that department, to ex amine minutely all the books, papers aud accouuts, and the system of checks in use, particularly in the Printing Bureau, aud to suggest whatever improvements it maybe I necessary. Tlie Sultana Disaster. Lieutenant-Colonel Adam Badeau, of Gen. Grant’s staff, has been sent West to make a special investigation of the recent disaster in the blowing up of the steamer Sultana." Richmond Specie Recovered. A steamer lias just been captured while running out of the Rappahannock river. On board of her were found several kegs of spe cie, stolen from Richmond by the flying rebels.* Napoleon’s Proposal for au Alliance with England against America. The London correspondent "of the New York Herald says: There cau be no doubt whatever, that the Emperor Napoleon, on receipt of the news of the fall of Richmond, proposed to Eng land to enter into au alliance offensive aud defensive against the United States. That the abovo proposition was made I know to be and I know, from the best sources, that the very idea of such au alliance was repudiated instantly by the British Atubassa* dor at Paris, acting uuder instructions from bis government. I send you the account of it which appears in the official organ of Lord Palmerston, of yesterday’s el ite, from which you will see the general* feeling of both the British Ministry, and of a very influential portion of the people whom this paper sents. Paris (April 19; correspondence of the London Herald. I must also note, as a sign of the times, a rumor that the French Government has made overtures to our Cabinet lor a joint action in the event of the attitude of the Yankees re specting Canada or Mexico rendering an “energetic course” advisable. A second iron-clad squadron is to be formed in the channel within the next two months, so that| any “diplomatic remonstrances” the two countries- might deem it advisable to offer could be supported by such a force as would insure tlielr being attended to. ]From the Liverpool Times, April 22.) We have no faith in the statement of a treaty between England and France, to come into play in the event of the Americans attacking either Mexico and Canada. The News of the Fall of Richmond in Germany—lmmediate Advance iu the Value of American Bonds. [From the London Times (city article; April 22. J The advices from Frankfort mention that just before the receipt of the news from Richmond, American bonds were very dull at 62, or five per cent below New York prices, whence they instantly went to 65 1-2, and subsequently to 6 I J. The transactions were extremely heavy, aud there were buy ers even on Londou, Brussels and Berlin ac count. The leading capitalists have availed themselves of the opportunity large sums, but small investors and speculators, with less knowledge, have takeu them up.— Money continues abundant in Frankfort. Austrian stocks are firm, and those payable in currency have improved, as the exchange on Vienna has risen to 108 8-4, bein, at the present rate of silver, only six per cent, be low par. Still there is not much doing in them, as the dealers on the Bourse are ab •sorbet' in American transactions. A reliable private letter says that among Mr. Lincoln’s papers has been found a pack age of letters, marked in bis own hand-writ ing, “Assassination Letters.” While many of them threatened his life, others warned him of plots to take It. He seems to have become so used to tbiugs of this sort that neither kind made any impression upon him. MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. Mayor—Richard D. Arnold. Aldermen—Jno. L. Vlllalonga, Christopher C.
