•ccinl Meeting of the County Counnla-
Mioners.
The Board of County Commissioners
met yesterday at 11 o’clock a. m.
Present—Commissioners Harrison, Wal
ker, Meyer and Faine.
Drs. Mayer, Starbuck and Harden, Com
mitters on the part of the Medical Society,
were present in compliance with the in
vitation extended at the monthly meeting
of the Commissioners.
Dr. Starbuck made a lengthy speech in
reference to the manner in which many
burial permits were issued, and also the
evils of selling poisonous drugs.
Remarks were made upon the subject
by Commissioners Paine and Meyer.
O11 motion, a committee was appointed
consisting of Commissioners Paine and
Walker to confer with a similar commit
tee from the Medical Society upon the
matter.
Commissioner Harrison was authorized
to provide for the temporary relief of the
■ colored lunatic, mention of whose condi-
1 tion was made in the Morning' News of
Monday last, out of the poor fund.
The accounts of the Sheriff and Clerk
of the Superior Court, which were laid
over for further consideration at the last
meeting of the Board, were passed to
payment.
■In this connection the following reso
lutions were passed:
Whereas, The issuing and the serving
of subpienas in criminal cases in the Su
perior Court of Chatham county has be
come a serious tax upon the citizens of
the county, as many ae forty and fifty
I subpieims being served in a single case,
| aud 011 investigation it appears that it
has been the custom to serve witnesses
with subpeenns several times daring the
same term of the Court to appear in the
ttae case, which is certainly contrary to
the law governing costs, and becomes a
Ijenvy draft on the County Treasury;
Jiewlwl That the County Commission
ers will not hereafter pay for the issuing
of subpauias for more witnesses than are
allowed by the law, to-wit, “two witness
es to the same point unless the Court
;shall certify that the question at issue
j was of such a character as rendered a
greater number of witnesses necessary to
* shiglo point,” and that the County
Commissioners will not hereafter pay for
the issuing of more than one subpoena
[served on a witness summoned to testify
jin a criminal case.
| The Clerk was instructed to forward to
[the Sheriff and Clerk of the Superior
[Court copies of the above resolution.
| O11 motion of Commissioner Meyer,
| were appropriated towards defraying
I the expenses of constructing a well at
IGibbonsville for the public benefit.
Some further business was transacted
of no public interest, and the Board ad
journed. previous to which, however, the
account of the Clerk of the Superior
Court, for extra compensation, was de
ferred for future action.

The .Harder of Ida Roberts.
Our readers will remember that a full
account of the death of Ida Roberts, a
colored girl, from cruel treatment, by Jno,
Jackson and his wife, negroes, on Chas.
Rock’s place, Ogeechee road, was pub
lished in the Mobnino News, and -at the
time we expressed surprise that the Coro
ner had not been notified of the affair.
Yesterday morning, at the request of
the Solicitor General, Dr. Enorr proceed
ed to the place, accompanied by Dr.
Theodore Starbuck, for the purpose of
disinterring the remains and holding a
post mortem examination. After a search
of seven hours in the swamp, the body
was found completely decomposed, ren
dering an examination utterly impossible,
The colored man who was entrusted with
a letter to Dr. Knorr, informing him of
the death of the girl, kept the letter in
his pocket until yesterday, and gave it to
the Coroner at the inquest. Nice darkey!
All persons fond of good, light bread
would do well to notice the advertisement
of'Mr. William Rosenthal in another
column- Give him a call, and you will be
sure to repeat it. july!3-6
ANOTHER RADICAL LIE.
Driving; Isnorant Negroes to Register—
A Sweet-scented Document.
As we have heretofore stated, the Radi
cals will make a final desperate attempt
at the ensuing elections to force some of
their representatives into positions, and
will not scruple at the meanR necessary
to accomplish this end. We are ad
vised of several meetings which have
lately been held, the last on Tuesday
night, at 'which plans of future action
were considered. At present every ef
fort is being made to compel the
negroes to register, and the most un
blushing lies have been resorted to for
this purpose. Within the past few days
several very worthy and industrious
colored men have been inquiring of their
white friends if it were true that their
property would be taken and wages gar
nisheed in the event of their failing to
pay their poll tax and register. These
inquiries at first occasioned surprise, as
it was not known how the colored
people got such an idea in their heads.
The mystery is explained, however,
in the discovery that thousands of hand
bills, emanating from the veracious and
eminent chairman of the Radical com
mittee, had been circulated throughout
the county. The third paragraph of this
eweet document reveals gross ignorance
or utter disregard of the truth, and is
perfectly absurd. The colored people
show remarkable credulity in continuing
to adhete to the self-constituted leaders,
who, declining to appeal to their reason
and intelligence, seek to use them for their
own selfish ends by palming upon them
specious falsehoods calculated to excite
their fears.
That the public may understand fully
the character of this handbill, we present
a copy of it in full:
BEPUBLIOANS OE CHATHAM COUNTY.
All who have paid your poll tax for
last year, 1873, go at once, taking your
tax receipt to the office of the County
Commissioners, in the “Old Planters’
Bank” building, on Abercom and Bryan
streets, and register your namss, giving
your age, occupation and place of resi
dence.
All who have not paid your poll tax for
1873, go immediately to the Sheriff’s
office in the Court House, taking one dol
lar and forty cents, ($1 40), and get from
him your poll tax executions and register
as above described.
If you do not go to the Sheriff and pay
the one dollar and forty cents, ($1 40) he
will levy on your property and sell, to
collect the poll tax with costs, amounting
to five dollars and fifty eents,($5 50). If
he cannot find property, he will ganishee
your wages, and collect poll tax with
costs, amounting to four dollars and
seventy cents, ($4 70.)
In twenty days the Sheriff will be
called upon to turn over the papers to
the County Commissioners, and you will
be liable for the poll tax and costs, and it
will be too late to register.
Voters living in the city should do as
described above, and then go to the Clerk
of Council at the Exchange, and pay one
dollar, ($1 00) and register for the pur-
pose of voting for county officers and city
offices in January next.
A. N. Wilson,
Chairman Republican Committee.
Savannah, July 7th, 1874.
Reunion of the Third Georgia.
As interesting to the members of the
command in this city, we present below
a copy of the circular addressed to the
surviving members of the Third Georgia
Regiment, in regard to the proposed re
union at Union Point on the 30th:
To the Surviving Members oj the Third
Regiment of Georgia Volunteers:
Augusta, Ga., July 14th, 1874.
Friends and Countrymen:—As the last
commanding officer of the old Third
Georgia, I take pleasure and pride in en
dorsing and uniting in the movement
among our comrades to celebrate the first
reunion of the surviving members of the
Regiment, at Union Foint, on the 30th
and 31st instant.
Such a reunion in these times of peace
of those who have stood side by side and
unflinching amidst the din and dangers
of many a hard fought battle, cannot but
prove gratifying in its features and happy
in its results.
Every arrangement has been made for
the success of the occasion, and some ef
fort will doubtless be inaugurated to per
petuate in enduring form the glorious
history of the w^r.wom organization.
Be assured your presence in full num
bers is earnestly requested. Over the
line of the Georgia Railroad and connec
tions, members of the Regiment will be
transported for one fare and return free.
Hoping to meet you all on the days of
the reunion, I have the honor to be, com
rades.
Very respectfully, yours,
Claibobne Snead,
Surviving Colonel 3d Ga. Beg’t.
Confederate Dead-at Fort Pulaski.
During a .late visit to Fort Pulaski, a
friend of ours observed a number of
graves of Confederate soldiers in the Post
Cemetery at that place, and thinking a
list of the names of those gallant dead,
(which has never yet been published,)
would prove of interest, has presented us
a copy of the same. It is as follows:
Lieut. C. B. Easton, Co. G., 10th Va.,
died March 7, 1863.
Capt. O. K. Browly, Co. B., 20th N.
C., died March 5, 1865.
Lieut. J. F. Guriaway, 50th Va., died
10th March, 1863.
Lieut. F. J. Goodloe, 14th Tenn.
Lieut. E. A. Rosenbalm, 37th Va.
Lieut. J. L. Burney, 49th Ga.
Capt. M. J'. Bradford, 20th N. 0., died
13th February, 1865.
Lieut. C. C. Lane, Co. A., 3d N. C.,
died March 1st, 1864, aged 28 years. -
The remains of Robert Rowan, of N.
C., Lieut. 1st Regiment of Artillery and
Engineers, U. S. A., who died March 3d,
1800, aged 25 years, ore also interred at
this point.
Query.
Editor Morning News: .
Will you please tell me if the rates of
dockage, wharfage and storage, as given
on pages 220-5 of the City Code, are for
one week or one month. For example,
what is the storage on one cask of porter
or ale for six months ? 48 cents or $1 92 7
July 14, 1874. Ionobanoe.
The Harbor Master would probably be
the best person to apply to for informa
tion on this subject. .

A LIFHLY COLORED WEDDING
SAVANNAH.
How the Assemblage Amused Themselves.
A correspondent of the New York Sun
was recently in Savannah, aud thus does
up a colored wedding he had the oppor
tunity of attending on the 8th inst. He
says:
Making my way leisurely through For
syth Place the other afternoon, I was ac
costed by one of the most prominent
business men of the Bay.
“You have come South,” said he, “in
search of the picturesque, and I have
something here that I think will aid
you.”
Fumbling around through bin pockets,
he presently drew forth a card, written
in a fair hand, of which the following is
an exact transcriot:
: Compliments §?■ j*. S
Miss Letitia Quinkey
: and
: Mb. Alexanueb H. Stephens.
: West Broad street. At 9 o’clock.
I ventured to inquire the nature of the
document.
“Did you ever attend a negro wedding
in Georgia 7” asked my friend.
I confessed that I had not
“Well,” said he, “with a smile in which
there was something like triumph, “that
is a card of invitation. Yon might take
advantage of it”
“But,” said I, “what would people
think ?” :
“People be hanged! I am going. That
girl Letitisis the daughter of one of my
old family servants. She’s been running
after my wife every day for a week to
find out whether I am going to her wed
ding. She’d be awfully cut up if I didn’t
go. Say the word, and HI call around at
8 and pick yon up.”
- GOING TO THE WEDDING.
Promptly at 81 stepped into my friend’s
carriage, and we rode to the church, in
the southwestern portion of the city,
where the ceremony was to take place.
We drew up before a modest but substan
tially built modern structure, near which
was gathered a crowd of ragged urchins,
both white and blaek, as if anticipating
something unusual. The inside was very
tastefully decorated with evergreens and
flowers, and in front of the pulpit a flow
ery arch had been reared.
We arrived some time before the bridal
party, but quite a large audience had al
ready assembled. Instead of laughing
and talking, the congregation amused it
self by singing hymns. This continued
until the bride and bridegroom entered
the door. As soon as one song was suc
cessfully disposed of, some ambitious
brother would launch another upon the
air, everybody joining in and carrying it
to the very highest point of vigorous and
harmonious intonation.
TUB MEL/ODUCS.
These hymns are peculiar combinations
of melody and nonsense. When wo en
tered the audience was singing the last
stanza of a very popular song, as follows:
Oh, sister, ain’t you happy,
An’ don’t you want to go
For to leave dis world of sorrow
An’ sin down here below ?
This ended, there was a short pause.
Then a quavering voice raised the song,
beginning:
De orbs of hebben am still a shinin’—
A shinin’ in de new Jerusalem;
King Jesus come in de cool of de momin’—
De momin’ oh de new Jerusalem.
And so on. It would be impossible to
describe the fervor with which these songs
were sung by the singers. Another hymn
runs as follows:
O, little chillnn, yon better git home,
O, little chillnn, you better get home,
O, little chillnn, you better get home,
Derc’s room enough for yon.
Dere’s a long white robe an’ a golden crown,
Dcre’s a long white robe an’ a golden crown,
Dere’s a long white robe an’ a golden crown,
Awaitin in de hebben for you.
The chorus of this singular hymn runs:
Room enough, room enough,
Room enough in de hebben for you
Room enough, room enongh,
Room enough for you. *
This doubtless looks very mqch like
nonsense, but the nonsense does not ap
pear when you hear the negroes sing it.
On the contrary, it is one of the most ef
fective hymns I ever heard.
VM it BMDAIi PASTY.
Finally, in the midst of the sing, :
rustle was heard at the door, and the
preacher, a very large and very black ne
gro, who had been sitting in the pulpit
with his eyes closed, stood up at the desk
and raised hia handa. This was the sig
nal for silence, and in the hush that fol-
lowed the bridal party anept up the aisle.
The bride was an exceedingly comely ne
gro girl, and tastefully dressed. I learned
afterward that the finishing touches to
her toilet had been made by her old mis
tress. The groom was also a fine speci
men of his race.
There was some awkwardness displayed
by the two attendants of the bride, bat
they were quickly set right by the preach
er, who appeared to be on his dignity.
De ladies will please take dar places
on de lef,” said Jie, in a very uncompro-
imon unit erf on 7 on
misingtone. “De gemmen will Stan’on
de right.”
In executing this evolution one of the
attendants of the groom trod on the foot
of an old colored brother, who acknow
ledged the compliment by an “Ugh! ” so
sepulchral and apparently so gratuitous
that the congregation was first startled
and then convulsed.
‘Let dar be silence!” said the preacher.
“Ef dar is any scoffers in high places,
dey will now have an opportunity to
retire.”
Here the preacher paused, polled out
an immense red handkerchief and pro
ceeded with much apparent unction to
mo his face. The scoffers in high places
refused to retire, bht it was evident from
the silence thht fell upon the congregation
that they had concluded to scoff no more.
The preacher accepted the compromise,
and, with the bridal party still standing
and looking very uncomfortable, he
launched into a lecture on matrimony.
Much of this lecture was humorously in.
coherent, but the following will give a
fair idea of the substance. .As far aa it
goes it is literal:
HOW DE MABBIAOE HAPPENS.
“Bruderin and frens: When two young
people say to deyselves dat dey have
'rived at dat disposition whar dey can
bar wid one anuder’s foilins an’ inequi
ties, dey mos’ always take a notion for
ter marry. An' when a man muster up
spunk enough fer ter go an’ buy de
license, an’ de ’oman hang her head an’
say she willin’ to stan’ up an’ let de man
claim her in de eyes of Hebben and de
general public, den de marriage happens. ”
Here an old brother remarked, “Dat’a
!” and the remark seemed to encourage
the speaker.
“Why does de man lub de ’oman?
Caze she pooty. Why does de ’oman lub
de man? Caze he strong. Why does de
man and de ’oman bote lub one another?
Caze de Scripters has prophesied it from
de foundation. But dey don’t always
marry right along like you tink dey orter.
De gals is mighiy slv. Dem am like de
terrapin. De nigger go long troo de
swamp, an’ he say to hisse’f dat he feel
mighty hungry. Bimeby he see terrapin
on de log in de sun wid he eyes shet. Den
de nigger month begin fer ter water, ah’
he hanker orter dat terrapin.
“Cooter, ” he says, “I lub you. ”
Tarrapin no say nuttin-
Nigger say, “Cooter, you look mighty
fat.”
Tarrapin open he eye.
“Nigger slide up a little closer an’say,
Cooter, you moke good soup,’ on’ den he
reach out he han’ fer ter fetch him in.
But de tarrapin he slide with de water, an’
de nigger he stay hongry.
“De cooter’s like the gals. Dey let de
boys git mighty close, on’ den dey git
away. But here, my frens, is a man an’
a ’omen what say de am tired ob foolin’
roun,’ an’ dey has come up here dis
evenin’ for ter be united in the holy banns
ob wedlock. Dey hab dat true lub dat
casts out fear. Dey am not ashamed ob
deyselves.”
TH V. CEREMONY.
Here there was a pause, and some con
fusion was occasioned by the discoveiy
that a candle had been dripping upon the
dress of one of the bridesmaids. Tho
preacher lost the thread of his discourse,
and when quiet was restored, the preacher
remarked in a veiy severe tone: -
‘De couple will please step forward and
jine their right hands.”
Then he again paused, smote his brow
with his red pocket-handkerchief, and
proceeded:
“Ef dar is any pusson widin soon’ ob
my vice, dat knows, or tinks he knows,
or liab. reason to bleebe dat dar is any ob
jection why dese man an’ ’oman should
not be jined togedder at dis time an’
place, let him rise up an’ make it known,
or f’over arter hold his peace, so help him
God.”
There was no objection and tho cere
mony was performed in the regular or
thodox style.
My mercantile friend desired me to
go to Lie Louse where the bride and her
friends were to have some cake and
! wine provided for the occasion by her old
mistress. I was told afterward that
I when Leticia returned and found that
j those who formerly owned her had been
thoughtful enough to fix up an elegant
collation in the kitchen, she fell into a fit
of crying that astonished her guests, and
then capped the climax of hysterics by
hugging and kissing all the members of
the family she could lay hands on. Here’s
luck to Leticia.

The following proceedings were hod in
