TATNALL COUNTY SUPEBIOB COURT.
The Superior Court of Tatnali county was opened
in due form, ou Monday, October 20th, Hon. William
fecliley. Judge,’p'tesidTng;
Quite a number of attorneys were in attendance.
The first day was occupied in tut; trial. ot cades on
the Common Law Docket, none oi them being ol much
moment.
On flit*'second day the Criminal Docket was called,
ami a number of cases were disposed or without trial.
The case ol the State vs. Allred Kennedy, charged
with an asbauit with intent to murder, was called. De
fendant, at the last term of Court had entered" his
l>lea of *• not guilty.” When required by the State, at
this term, to announce whether lie was. ready lor trial
or not, defendant tiled his challenge to the array of the
jury empanuelled to try him; and, by his counsel,
insisted on liis right to be heard upon his challenge
t«i the array, before being required to announce
whether ready or uut. This point was argued at length
by .Mr. Hartridge, for defendant, and by Solicitor Gen
eral A. 15. Smith, and W. B. Ganldeu, for the State.
The Court held that the defendant had a right to be-
lieurd upon his challenge before announcing whelncT
ready or not. * 1
Under this ruling defendant was heard upon his
challenge to the array, which, was to the effect:., "De
cause said panel was not selected in accordance with
the existing Constitution of the State of'Georgia; blit
that said jury or panel was selected under the law al
lowing and proviiling class juries, which law was abro
gated by the existing Constitution.” This point was
elaborately argued by counsel on both sides.
The Court, alter occupying some time in reflection,
held that without passing upon the constitutionality
ol" the act of’August 27tli, lbtirt; yeh in the opinion of
the Court that act does not provide’ for juries for the
trial of criminal cases: that there was no legal jury
for the trial of criminal cases, and the challenge was
sustained and the array quashed.
The remainder of the term was occupied in the dis
position of Appeal and Equity «-ases.
At two o'clock, p. in., ou Wednesday, the.Court ad
journed until the next regular term..

Mayor’s Court.
Ifni. E. C. AnderSOn, Mayor, Presiding.
Saturday, November 2,1868.'
The Court was in a lively humor yesterday morn
ing, owing to the numerous attendance at HisIIonor’s
levee, which was gratifying to reporters and the man
who takes up the collection. Saturday night whiskey,
it waa plain to be seen, 'had been no respecter ol"
persons, and had seized within its grasp the white and
tlie blacK, without regard to color or previous condi
tion.
Harry Spencer first answered the call of the
Marshal, and came up for introduction to His Honor,
the Mayor. Harry, like all good sailors, likes liis
grog, and has been up in Court before for getting
or auk. On Saturday he lelt his vessel to go and
mingle with the land lubbers ou shore, and his foot
steps naturally led him to the abode of a dispenser of
that fluid-, a little of which
"Now and then
Is good l’< »r the Temperance men. ”
Alter cruising around for some time, Mr. Spencer
finally lay to, and anchored in the street, where he
found a comfortable berth for his cralt. A privateer
ing policeman, who was in tlie neighborhood, came
up, attracted by the signal light iu the shape of a red
nusal organ, displayed by Harry. ' He cut the moor
ings of Hurry’s cralt, and towed it into the harbor at
tho Barracks. Mr. Spencer* was politely informed
that it was left to his option, either to contribute six
dollars towards defraying the current expenses of the
city or to go to work upon the public streets.
Ferdinand Bailege next came to the front and made
his bow. He had been speculating a little in No. 9 Dou
ble refined extract of Benzine, on Saturday night, and
was rather the worse therefrom. He became confused,
and although lie wanted to go home, ho fouud it im
possible to reach there. lie then made liis bed in the
street, and lay him down to sleep. His slumbers
were musical, and the liigh notes reached the vigilant
ear of a policeman, who lbuud Ferdinand, a stranger,
and took him in. Mr, Bailege >vaa asked to drop the
sum of live dollars aud costs into tho collection-box,
or go to work upon the public streets.
Au aged man, a man ot" many cares and much tongue,
felt -unhappy* so lie said, on Saturday, and took"a
glass of whiskey to comfort liis etomach. The.next
thing heard of him he was lound lying drunk in the
street, and a sympathizing policeman took him to the
Barracks. -Being weighed iu the scales of justice, he
was found wanting to the, extent of five dollars and
costs.
A young white nun, who ought to have had more
respect lor himself tnan to - go and get drunk, was
arrested on Saturday night lor drqpV.euness and dis
orderly conduct in the strec^. He was fined five dol
lars.
Two jolly From dim on had a tight on Drayton street,
ou Sunday evening, which ended in both of them
being arrested and token to the Barracks. His Honor
thought that a line of five dollars'each would.be a
salutary .check upon- their x>ngilistio propensities in
future. -jib x,
Joliu Kavonagh was picked up in the street,.where
Needle gun benzine hiid laid him low. John Was re
quested to drop a V into tho Clerk’s collection box.
Paul Simmons aud John,,Lints, two darky boys,
came up t<> give - an account of their si us. Paul was
let out of fail Saturday evening, and he met with John
and another boy. The three theu went and stole a
ham from Julius Koox, because he had one and they
had none. They failed to get away with (lie smoked
hind-quarter of a porker, however,'and were captured
and*sent to tho Barracks. - The oaaq was- turned- over
to Lieut, \yrqy ifi orqe^v that (he (hii>l boy might be
arrested. . ,
Charles Robinson, negro, went Into tne store of
Henry Lobb. on Saturday night, and invited himself
to take a seat upon the counter. When the optics of
tlie clerk were set ii\ a.u opposite direction, Charles’
immorality betrayed itself in an attempt to steal the
contents of the money drawer. Ilo was not quick
enough iu clutching the money, aud was caught by
the clerk, who 'first*gave him a drubbing, aud theu
turned him over to a policeman. Charles was sent to

Meeting of. Magistrates and Superintendents
of Election.—A meeting of the Justices of the Peace
and Superintendents of Flection was held at the Court
House yesterday afternoon.
T. E. Lloyd, T. M. Norwood, and Geo. A. Mercer,
Esqrs., were present, at tho request of the Magistrates,
toinfurm the Magistrates and Sui>erintundents of the
laws by which tuey should be governed under the
existing Constitutions, aud explain the provisions
thereof. The following general principles and rules
of guidance were laid down:
1st. That Superintendents of Election may. question
a man who offer* to vote as to whether he has received
or expects to receive any bribe or reward to vote any
particular ticket.
2d. Whether or not he has voted at any other poll or
precinct in this or any other county or State.
3d.—There is no disfranchisement, and any citizen
may vote.
4th.— Any person of foreign birth who has declared
hi* intention to become a citizen, at any time previ
ous to offering to deposit tho ballot, is entitled to a
vote.
5th.—Persons who have resided in the State for six
mouths, but whose homes are in other counties, and
who may be here temporarily on business'&rc., are
entitled to vote.
Ctii.—While the Governor may suspend the collec
tion of taxes, he cannot alter or suspend aa organic
law of the Constitution. Tho proclamation is there
fore of no avail, so far as the poll tax for the year 18G7
iscoucerned. Every person offering to vote must
have paid all taxes which he has had an opportunity
to pay. 11 i
Tlio subject of having three boxes at the county poll
was discussed, aud all those present, without regard
to private political opinions, were unanimous iu
agreeing that it was an illegal proceeding, and that
Bullock had no right to order them; but, as the vote
of the county might be thrown out by the powers at
Atlanta, iu case the Superintendents proceeded with
the election with only one ballot box, it was thought
best to use the three.
Other matters were commented upon in the course
of general conversation, and the views of those pres
ent were in complete harmony. The Superintendents
decided to be governed by the laws, and to conduct
die election according to the manner prescribed in the
Itwa of the State.
The oath contained in the Constitution is the one to
b? administered to Superintendents. In case any per-
«ijc offering to vote, is willing to swaar that he has
paid ail taxes which he has had an opportunity to pay,
t!u» Superintendents may cause him to make oathio
that effect; anil upon his so doing. Ins vote must be
received. ..a
Tlie meeting adjourned about half-past five o'clock,
p. m. ^
Aerzst of a Burglar.—On Tuesday night la-t Dr.
Horrison’a house was entered by a burglar, and robbed
of various articles, and among other things, a valuable
jjamoad pin. A day or so after the thief came back
in the day time and stole an overcoat. The case was
placed in the hands of Lieut. "Wray, who deputed De-
fdcpve Hafily to work it up. Tim latter proceeded to
iqveatigufe (he affair, aqcj, alter considerable trouble
he finally secured information which led at once to
the discovery of the thief.
0a Saturday last, Mr. Hanly caught the rascal on
Falun street- Re was a negro, and gave his name a3
Bichard Clanton. The diamond pin, overcoat and
other articles which he had stolen, were all recovered,
aqd the thief locked up.
pejective Hanly deserves credit for the skill with
Vaich he worked this c^se, and captured the offender.
It was a pretty hard job, and, therefore required dex
terity in managing it successfully.
Rr. Hanly has been a member of the detective force
far some time, and is one of its most efficient
members.
Theatrical.—On Thursday night next, Mr. John
Templeton will commence a short season of dramatic
euteruinments at the Theatre, in this city. He has a
large and well appointed stock company, and expects
to make several additions to it, in order that the sea
son in Savannah may be brilliant and auccesstul.
It has been quite a long time since we have had any
theatrical performances here; and with a good com
pany Mr. Templeton onght to have full houses every
Bight He promises the latest sensations in the dra
matic world, to be performed by ladies and gentle
men of unquestioned dramatic ability.
Charlotte Thompson, who is now performing
in Atlanta, will probably visit Savannah next week.
This talented lady should attract large audiences to
the theatre; aud we hope that the people will come
to witness her impersonations; and prove that
they can recognize aqdappreciate artiotie acting-

death of Col; Williams. - - . .. - -

lake's Crimean War. The books were passed upon,
and it was decided to add them to tlie Society’s col
lection. ~ '
The subject of the building of an addition to the
present hall was next brought forward. For the ben
efit ol those who had not been present at former
meetings, that the Society had so increased in num
bers, and its wants and necessities were such as to
render it imperative either to enlarge its present
building, or to move to other quarters. The first
project had been the most favorably received by mem
bers, and its consideration had been entrusted to the
Building Committee. Iu the course of two or three
years the Society hoped to unite with the Chatham
Academy, aud perhaps with the city, aud erect, on the
site of the present Chatham Academy building, on
South Broad street, a large and handsome structure,
to extend on South Broad street to Drayton street, aud
buck to the line of the lane; to be divided off and part
of it used for school purposes, and another portion
for tho uses of the Society.
Dr. Chartres, of the Buillding Committee, submit
ted plans for the extension of the present building, so
as to cover the lot iu the rear of it, aud run back to
the line of Bay lane, which would give a large and
roomy hall, for lectures, meetings of the Society, and
other purposes. It could be constructed with cellars,
which would be valuable aud bring in a handsome in
come, for storage purposes. The addition would also
give three rooms on the lower floor, which could easily
be rented for a good sum ; they proposed au outside
staircase leading to tlie hall above, and the roof of the
structure to be run up into a largo dome, with win
dow's. The Doctor submitted plans of the proposed
extension, and mode a rough estimate of the cost, at
£11,000. It would make the building very valuable;
aud as there is uow no public hall in the city, conve
nient of access, it would be very uscfuL
He also submitted a plan of the proposed structure
ou South Broad “stree. It is T shaped, with a front of
two hundred feet on South Broad street and extending
back to the lane; with four large rooms in the front
aud main building, for school purposes, a large hall,
ami rooms for the Society in the rear.
The subject of the exteutiou of the present build
ing was debated by different members, and, on mo
tion it was referred back to the Committee, and they
were further instructed to devise ways and means of
defraying the expense, and to obtain estimates of the
cost from builders.
Un motion of Dr. Harris, Hon. Solomon Cohen wps
added to the Committee; and on motion of Dr. Char
ters. Mr. John Stoddard was added to it.
Judge Harden siK>ko a few words of encouragement
to the society. It had passed through many reverses,
and was now* doing amazingly well. Savannah was
bound to be a place of considerable importance, and
it was said by strangers that there are no attractions
in the place. The society was the oldest ami the
chief literary society, and he wanted the members to
persevere iu their good work, and make it an attrac
tion aud an ornament to the city. If the present
building was enlarged the time would come when it
would be wanted, and be very valuable for business
purposes, so that the society would gain in the end.
The private residences of the city might be extended
southward, but the business section would always be
where it is now.
Ou rnotiou, the society adjourned until the time for
the next regular meeting.

Arrest of the Ringleader of a Riot in Yamacraw
in July Last.—Our readers will probably remember
that in July last, on the occasion of a street parade of
tfie colored axe companies, a riot occurred iu Yamo-
eraw. One of the axemen went into the store of Mr.
James Smith, aud called for liquor. He was followed
by the crow'd who filled tlie place, aud acted in such a
disorderly manner (hat Smith determined (o put them
out. The fellow' who had called for (he liquor went
out into the street with the decanter, followed by
Smith, w ho called upon policeman McBride to arrest
him. The officer attempted to do so, w hen the negro
struck him with the decanter, and at the same time
Smith was struck in tlie head with a club and knocked
down. The negro th'ftu iuoited his comrades to riot,
and a serious disturbance was threatened for a time.
Policeman Me Bride went to arrest the ringleader again,
when he broke off aud run. Several other parties
were captured and punished at the time for fiavmg
been engaged iu the riot. *■
The name of the party who escaped-was ascertained
to be Charles Thompson. Orders for his arrest were
issued to the detective force by the Mayor; aud to es
cape from justice Thompson went to Charleston, where
he .has remained ever; since, until last Yfeek, when,
thinking it probable that the affair was forgotten, he
ventured back to Savannah- L;ent- Wray heard that
Thompson had retfirned, and having ascertained his
whereabouts caused his arrest on last Saturday night.
He was brought before the Mayor yesterday^ and ar
raigned ou three charges, viz: disorderly conduct in
nhe streets; inciting a mob and creating an excitement
in t ho afreets; rusistifig ^4 striking a police officer
who was in the discharge of fiis duty. He plead guilty
aud said that he did not see McBride's badge, and did
not know that he was an officer. He was sentenced
to pay a fine of seventy-five dollars—twenty-five upon
each charge—or.go to jail for ninety days. The fine
was paid and he was released.
The detective force, and Lieut. Wray as its chief,
are entitled to credit lor their vigilance in this in
stance; aud although law-breaker* may for a time
elude the vigilance of th« officers, the detectives are
sure to bring them to justice sooner or later.
