Saints’ Day.—To-morrow, the first day of November, is the day upon which the Church has set apart to celebrate and honor the memory of all the saints and martyrs. To each of the saints, on the calendar, there is a particular day devoted, and the Church bus ordained feasts to be kept upon these.oc casions in honor of the saints. In addition, this grand feast is celebrated by the Church f all over the world, and dedicated in memory" of all the saints and the martyrs to the cause of Christ. The custom dates back to the' early Christian Church, we believe, and has been handed down through successive ages. To-morrow the day will be celebrated in an imposing manner at the Cathedral of tit John the Baptist, in this city, At half-past tea o'clock in the morning services, will be held, and the sermon will be delivered by Bishop Verot Father Ryan was expected to be present and preach, but was unable to come, owing to engagements elsewhere. . .lif ter the sermon, the Bishop will celebrate Solemn Pontifical High Mass—a" ceremony which is only performed on the occasions of the greater feasts of the Church. Arrange-. meutsare being made, we understand, for some tine music on the occasion. The choir is to sing Farmer’s Mass in B flat. The Matob’s Proclamation. —We trust that the proclamation of His Honor, Mayor-An derson, which will be fofuid in another col umn, ordering all bar rooms and places where liquor is sold to be closed on election-day, will be rigidly obeyed and enforced. Weap- peal to the keepers of barrooms, ais good citizens, to abstain -from selling, by any back door arrangements, to any person whatever; and the police should also keep strict suryeil- ance over such places, and prevent any spir- itous liquors from being circulated. Once" let whiskey be circulated among the crowd at the polls, and evil consequences are sorb to follow. An indiscreet word or action might lead to a great disturbance. We are in the midst of troublous times, when prudence, coolness and sonnd judgment and discretion are needed. If tronble should .ensue, the; white people will surely be charged with originating it, no matter if they are not at all at fault. Let us fiave patience, therefore, acta wise part, perforin our duty as peaceable f ad quiet citizens, and avoid all occasion of ■ Coboseb’s Inquest:—Dr. T. C. Harden, Coroner, held an inquest Thursday ; ever lug on (he body of Alice Barker, a colored wo man, who had died Wednesday evening very Jaddenly. I A colored woman living in the house stated (krt deceased came to Savannah about, .three weeks ago. - She had gone to bed complain ing of sore throat; and the woman asked her en Wednesday, if she did not intend to get up. She replied in the affirmative, and wit ness left-her-sitting up in bed putting on her stockings. In half an honr witueSs returned to the rooih, and the woman was dead. She came here from Hilton Head. The jury being unable to agree as to canse of death, Hr. Harden made a post-mortem ex amination, when it was found that deceased had died of disease’ofthe heart, and verdict rendered to That effect J of you nave known me all 'your Bom within two hundred yards of where I stand, you also know that mine has been a working life. Now, it is a Radical falsehood that there is any antagonism between the whites and the blackB. We have the property and we want yonr labor. There must always be a good understanding between capital and labor, to make them mutually beneficial.— Slavery is dead, bnt to live you must labor. I know, that many of youhave suffered since the dose of the War. ’ Who have;, been yonr . friends in want ? I .say" it in no spirit of : boasting, but since the termination of the . war, I have had. .occasion to attend some of my former slaves medically, and to contribute; to their*, material .wants; and: so it-is, and sot. it will be with the Southern man, raised as lj&' has been in one patriarchal family. You can’t hold office in Georgia; whoseTault is it?. Who made the Constitution of Georgia? who but Radical carpet baggers ? I am disfran chised as to holding office by a. Radical Con gress, becanse I contributed a few dollars to my fellow-citizens who were going to fight; and the Assistant Attorney General of the United States told me three years ago, in Washington City, that I aided and abetted, the Rebel cause. But there have been those amongst you who have held office under the United States, since the war, who did give-money as I did. Some who actually were candidates for the Confederate Congress, and who tried to raise a regiment to fight the North. Ever}' man is the judge of his own conscience; mine is not so elastic as some. Now, the men who try to : mislead you do not own the value of a cheese paring" in this city." Will you trust them or those" with whom you have been raised,- who are identified with all the interests of this country, and who f are opposed by a set of men who, when trouble and rain overtake us." have nothing to do but. to take all they brought here in -their hands, their carpet-. bags, and to use their favorite word, skedaddle. At the close of Hr. Arnolds remarks, the colored men were addressed by Francis Mo- Neil, who urged upon them to stand by those who bad.always been their friends, -ahd eome up to the polls on Tuesday, aiitf vote Tor Sey mour and Blair.

Fitch was culled upon, and delivered one of his characteristic addresses. His speech was right to the point, and we hope had great weight with the persons to whom it was addressed. He tried to impress upon them the fact that their old masters were their best friends, and that by uphold ing the carpet-baggers and scalawags they were working their own destruction. The Radicals pretended to love the colored people very much now; but the election once secured the blacks might go. If a colored man died, or was killed now, in the Southern country, the Radicals and the New York Tribune, their organ, immediately announced him as a martyr; but let the colored man vote with them and elect Gen. Grant, and that point gained the Tri bune could hardly be obtained to notice his death; even Jf the announcement was paid for. If the people of the North and South do not understand each other, how is it pos sible^that a racdTieceptly emancipated": ioraj slavery, can^ Understand the' situation-in ’ which their old masters are jjlfieed. He.told them that those who were opce.their masters were the best friends they had on earth, and if they cast them aside, no others could be found. ■ « JL ■‘.'•Jl C> ■_ , CoL Fitch concluded as follows: Are you free? Have you not the right to vote as you please? Then go np to the polls and vote like men. Let no man, by coercion or in timidation, influence your vote. Your inter ests are identipal with those of the whites. Go and cast ydnr votes with them- (Cheers.) CoL Win. M". Nicholla was called for, but asked to be excused from speaking. Mr. Elias Yulee delivered a short -address. He told them that slavery was dead, and no body wanted it resurrected- The, past is buried in the past, and no person wanted--it brought up again. He proceeded to follow, somewhat the same line of argument, prov ing to the colored people that as they had to live here, and their interests, were those of the whites, they would be acting wisely by upholding and supporting those who had ever and would always he their firmest friends, • . - P. M. Rnssell, Sr., responded to tlie calls made for him, and delivered a tew remarks, urging upon the colored people to go quietly Court of the Confederate States of America, for said District, in conformity with an Act of Congress of said Ponfiederate Stc August 30, 1801, requiring any person session of any money belonging to an alien enemy of the Confederate States, to pay the same totheReceiver; and pro.ridmg.that-sueh payment .should- fuUy^acqait-'S^tBseharge the party- making the Same, from all and every claim for or on account of such money the plea averring that at the time of the payl ment ofsaid money^"tne~C6nfe<lerate States were an 'organized government, :• exercising all the powers and functions of Government, and able , to enforce,! and actually enforcing, its laws, orders and decrees in said Southern District of Georgia; and’fliatthe said Act of Congress was of force at the time of the pay ment afqresuid'. and that the- said plaintiffs were then alien enemies of the said Confede rate States of America. Verification and prayer of judgment, Plaintiff's put in a simililar to the first "plea, and a general demurrer -to the second Join der in demurrer. The question raised by the denmrrer has been already decided in the case of Shorbrfdge vs. Nason, 2 Am. Law Review, 95. In that case—which in its facts and the legal principles involved, is like the case at bar. Chief Justice Chose, in deliver- ing the'opinion of the Court, "said; “ Those who engageln rebellion must expect the con sequences. If they succeed, rebellion be comes revolution. The new. government will- justify its founders. If they fail, all their acts, hostile to the rightful government are violations of law, and originate no" rights which can he recognized by the Courts of the uatioh, whose authority aud existence have been alike assailed” "We hold,..therefore,..that compulsory pay ment,-rmdCr. the sequestration acts, to the rebel receiver, of the debt due to the plain tiffs from defendant, was no discharge.
