Rices at the Thundeubolt Pass Testeb- dit.—Another large crowd assembled at the Thunderbolt Park yesterday to witness.the mating • race which was advertised to come oi. Three horses had' been ' entered' for the fat race, which was for horses that Bad not trotted in less than three minutes; but one of them, “Handsome Charlie,” was withdrawn previous to the contest The fallowing were: the entries: Baker names b h Kn Klux. W. J. Burch names s h Flying Dutchman. Mile heals, best two in three, to'hamess. The first heat was taken by “Ku Klux, ’’ in 3:10. On the second, the “Dutchman” came in winner, in 3:17; and the third, and conse quently the race and purse of one hundred dollars, was taken by “Ku Klux," in 3:12. An impromptu race was then made up be tween llr. Boberts and Capt H. S. 'Wetmore, for their respective ponies:- It was merely;* trial of speed, there being no money interest ’ in the affair. The entries were: Ml Boberts names b. m Fannie Boberts. Capt Wetmore names b h Frank. ^ Mile heats, best two in three, harnessed, to This was quite a pretty little dash, and oc casioned considerable interest The race was won by “Fannie Boberts” in three, straight heats.

MINUTES. . • The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. * appeal cases. SiSlfS nance of the city, in selling liquor without-a license, was called up. Before any witnesses were called, the counsel for the defendant. Judge Lervi 8, Bussell, arose and read excep tions to the jurisdiction of the Court, on tnc' ground that it was an offence punishable by State law, and the Mayor and Aldermen had not the right to try it; there were several other points with reference to the right of trial by jury, Ac. • Judge Bussell argued at length in behalf of bis bill of Exceptions, to all of which Coun cil listened attentively. Judge Harden, on behalf of the city, said that all the points made by counsel for defence had been brought up and settled by a decision from Judge Fleming. He quoted from authorities, and said that the counsel had forgotten an important proviso attached to the State law, which said that no. offender should be tried,in. the Superior Court, who had already been tried And punished by the by the corporate authorities of any town or city. Judge Har den argued the matter at some length to show that the city had jurisdiction. Aldermah'Gue’mdved to carry the case to trial. The motion was unanimously adopted. The testimony of policeman Mahony with reference to the selling of liquor, ’and of the City Clerk, James Stewart, to the effect that the defendant had no license; the defense re fused to put in any. evidence, on the ground that the Court had no jurisdiction. Alderman Gue moved to confirm the deci sion of the Mayor, Alderman A. N. Miller seconded the motion, and counsel, ; by unani mous vote, agreed to the motion. B. Wayne Bussell then read the exceptions to the jurisdiction of the Court again, and said that defendant would have the case taken before the Superior Court, by a writ ot cer tiorari. The Board unanimously authorized the Mayor to overrule the exceptions, and the case ended. The case of William Ebbs & Co., charged with a similar offence, was called, and a long time occupied in the hearing of testimony. A negro, Handy Whitehead was sent to the store for whiskey, and spent the: money for , tobacco. He then asked for the whiskey. Ebbs said that if be did not pay for it it was all right. Handy said he considered that be owed for the liquor. The following scene convulsed Council and spectators: Judge Harden—Do you consider thnt yon owe him for the whiskey ? Haney—Well, I don’t think I ever will pay for it.: I made the tobacco and I made the whiskey, and that’s all I care for. Judge Harden—Have you had any conver sation with any one on the subject ? Handy—Ho—I kept clear of and dodged the strike, because I owed ten cents and never intended to pay for it. Handy’s testimony was very amusing; he was evidently trying to serve both parties, and his statements were conflicting. Alderman Meyer moved to dismiss the ise, as there was a doubt about the sale. Alderman Ford seconded the motion, and made some remarks upon the case. The vote was then taken upon the motion, and it was not carried, Aldermen Meyer and Ford alone voting with the affirmative. The decision the Mayor’s Court was con firmed. sport, and returned| in high spi Trotting Park is bonnd to be established as one of the permanent institutions of , oar. city, and we are glad to see that the interest in it is increasing. ( ‘ ' j J The Chatham County Jail.—The jail is now in fine order, and has within its walls abont one hnndred prisoners, about fifteen of ’bom are females. Patrick F. Higgins, who it will be remembered shot and killed his wife last July, is awaiting triad. He shot his wife down, and while she was beseeching him to lias her and not to shoot any more, fired two more times, yet this cold-blooded murderer asserts that nothing will be done with him; that he need not ejnploy a lawyer to defend biui, and also threatens the lives of those who have censured him for his cowardly and brn- W act If he is-not made to mount a beany ff oe to the wiVes; it trill 'be a greatr induce ment for husbands to place themselves under the influence of whiskey, and deliberately murder the partnera’of their joyB and woes. Organization of a Pathol.—(Ve learn that Bis Honor Mayor Anderson has organized a. order and prevention of crime in the suburbs of the city, from out of a number of citizens *ho have volunteered for that purpose. The patrol will scour the suburbs every night, and they are vested with police powers to arrest offenders against the laws.

The Great Bank Suit—List of the Unpaid Stock—Particulars op the Action.—We have several times alluded to a suit brought against the stockholders of the Merchants' and Planters* Bank by parties holding its notes for amounts called for on the &ce of the same. As the matter is necessarily a public one, it can do no harm to present its princi pal features, which will be of interest to our readers. In November, 1867, George W. Hatch, of New York, Scott, Zerega & Co., of New York, Frisbie & Roberts, of New York and Wil- 1 liam H. Marsh, of Cincinnati, Ohio, in a suit in the United States Circuit Court, obtained judgment for the amount of the notes held by them. Execution was issued, and the re turn made thereon that no property could be ' found upon which to levy. And now come the plaintiffs mid file a bill in equity, claim ing judgment against the stockholders of the Bank, who, by a clause in its charter, became 1 liable personally for its debts to the extent of the amount of stock held by them. There are two distinct suits, one of which will be the more interesting of the two, from the nature of the action. The plaintiffs'aver that there are certain parties ,Tyho did not pay in the full value of the stock which they held; that this unpaid stock be came a debt due to the Bank, and should have been ineluded.in the assignment , of its ef fects, which ifrwas not; that thisnioney really belonged to the Bank, and that the defen dants should be compelled to pay it in. They therefore bring this suit in Chancery to com pel the defendants to pay the sums still due on the stock, which they held. This is quite an interesting point, and its decision will be anxiously awaited; butas Chancery £uits are "oftimes interminable; it may hang on for some time, and, as the defendants will doubtless fight the question hard, it may come in time to rival the famous suit of 1 Jarndyco vs. Jamdyce. We have obtained a list of the parties who are defendants in this issue, with the amounts claimed from each. In the first column of figures: ip stated the number of shares held by each person; in the second the value of the shares, at one hundred dollars per share, the amount for which they were to be sold, ac cording to the charter of the bank; in the third column is given the per centpge on the dollar which was paid in, and in the fourth, the amount remaining unpaid. The list is as follows: the first six persons named being residents of Bouth Carolina: N.-S. Crowell Walter Hayward Blake Hayw.ird......... Daniel Hayward........

Henry Lathrop Heury D. Weed The above is an entirely separate and inde pendent action, to compel the parties above named to pay the amounts stated in the list as unpaid. If they are held liable for this then cotnes the other suit, on the common law side of the Court, in which claim is brought again at them for the whole amount of the stock, both paid and unpaid. In this last action there are over one hnndred other defendants, who were stockholders, and who paid in full for their stock. The whole amount * involved, principal, interest, damages and costs, reaches a half-a-million of dollars. Judge W. Dougherty, of Atlanta* and A. W. Stone, of this city, are attorneys for the plain tiffs. The defendants will probably have some of the most eminent legal talent to be obtained, to carry on their cause.

W ’ « >r, fromNe York, having on boaTd the remains of . late Geri. Howell Cobb, arrived at tins city early yesterday morning. The body was in' an air tight casket, securely closed up in a large wooden box. Not having been em balmed previous to being sent South, it had been kept on ice both before and during the voyage. Still, it is hardly possible - that it will be in fit condition tty be seen on nrrrral- at the old hprne of deceased, at Athens, Ga. President Wadley, of the Central Bailrtiad, having tendered a special train for the imme diate forwarding of the remains, they were not kept in Savannah any loiiger than was absolutely necessary. At half past nine o’clock in the morning the tnembers of the Bar of Savannah, who., had assembled at the Court Htftise, marched down to the steamer’s wharf in a body. Here they were met by His Honor Mayor Ander son, and Aldermen Gne, Burroughs, Hunter, Villalonga and Sims, who had come in an in formal manner as representatives of the city, to show respect to the noble dead. As the corpse was carried off the steamer and across' the wharf to the handsome hearse provided. for its reception, the city authorities, mem bers of the bar and citizens formed inline, and saluted it The body having been placed in the hearse,. the procession formed in the rear of that vehicle, tlie Mayor and Aldermen at the head of the line, followed by the members of the bar and citizens. In this order the procession moved up the Bay to West Broad street, and thence to the Central Bailroad depot As it passed along the street the people came out and gazed at the cortege ; and it was hard to realize that inside the rough box which en closed the coffin, lay the body of one who was . once the glory and pride of the Slate ; whose clarion voice and matchless eloquence had stirred the souls of the masses, and who had wielded an immense influence in the,Common wealth. On the arrival at the depot no time was lost in placing the body on board the train, which’ consisted of an engine and three cars. The corpse was laid in the rear car. At the depot tho body was again sainted by those present as it was.carried past them. At about twenty-five minutes to eleven o’clock the train moved off, and soon was lost to sight. Those who had followed the remains turned and went away, and Savannah had paid her last tribute of respect to the memory of one whom her citizens delighted ; to hohor in the days which are gone. Mr. G. J. Foreacro cairie on from New York in charge of the remains, and received every assistance and courtesy from Captain Nicker son and the officers and crew of his vessel. Major J. Lamar Cobb, eldest son of the do- eoaseil, and Mr. Foreacre left here., on the train, to accompany the body to Athens. Word was received that a delegation from the Bar of Macon, of which Gen. Cobb was a member, would be in waiting at Milieu, to go on in the train and attend the funeral cere monies. Mrs. Cobb, widow of the General, and his daughter, Miss M. A- Cobb, who were in New York iwith him, returned home from there by railroad. Match Game of Base Ball.—Yesterday afternoon a match game of base ball was played on the grounds in the rear of Forsyth Park between the Forest City and Oglethorpe Clubs. The game was witnessed by a large number of persons, the ladies showing con siderable interest in the contest.
