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..

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 Tlie Most Successful Institution of Known World! LIABD TABLE. A]>ply to PROFITS OF THE COMPANY ANNUALLY DIVIDED!

Five new ballot boxes have been provided for the county, three of which will be for the country precincts, and two with the old one, making three for the city. The Justices of the Peace who are to officiate at the city polls are Justices P. M. Buaaell, Hr., Levi S, Hart, Isaac M. Marsh, M. .S. Ver- dery, Michael Morris, Lawrcuco Connell, b. D. Dick son and P. M. Russell, Jr. The requisite freeholders Will Wdesigiiated this morning previous to the open ing of the polls. Voters whose names commence with letters from A to G, inclusive, will go in at the front door of the Court House and vote on the left hand side. Those whose names commence with letters from H to M, in clusive, will go in at the same place and vote on the right hand side. Those whose names commence from N to Z, inclusive, will vote at the door on York street. A platform has been erected, in the Court House, and z fence to divide the voters who come in at the main hall, so as to keep them from crowding each other. Negroes from the country commenced coming.into the city last night, many of them armed aud equipped f„r a campaign. Bradley was busy with a crowd at bis house, circulating Radical tickets; and a Radical m.’t tiug was held at St. Andrew’s Hall, over which A. W. Stone presided.

It-member there is no disfranchisement now. Every citizen can vote. 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- Addison,- Elliott k Co.—In another column Messrs. Addison, Elliott Co., wholesale grocers aud commis sion merchants, at No. 95 Bay street, invite the atten tion of the public to their large and well assorted stock of sugars, coffee, bacon sides and shoulders, crackers, mackerel, raisins, candy, tobacco, oysters tud lobsters, (canned,) aud all the necessary articles to be found in any well appointed -wholesale grocery es- riblishmeut.

Alter discussion it was thought best not to have a printed catalogue at present! President Harden announced to the Society the death of one of its oldest aud best members.

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. Meteorological« Register at Oglethorpe BarracUa, Suvanuuh, Ga., for October, 18G8. Lai. 92 deg. North—Long. 81 deg.

S. A. 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.
