Insurance that ali Need.
The TKAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY,
of Hartford, Connecticut, is an institntion which
is worthy of patronage. Accident insurance is
just as valuable as fire or life, and the man who
does not avail himself of it neglects a cheap and
important precaution. The Travelers is a com-
jsiny honorably and liberally managed, and en

GEOH(^ HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Interesting Address by Col. C. C. Jones.
Tho regular monthly meeting of the
Georgia Historical Society was held last
evening at their hall, and the announce
ment that Col. C. C. Jones would deliver a i
address attracted a largo audience, in which
the ladies were numerously represented.
Shortly after eight o’clock, the meeting
was called to order by Gen. Henry R. Jack-
son, President of the society, who, in a happy
welcoming speech, introduced Col. Jones
aud stated tho subject of his address.
Colonel Jones responded most felicitously,
and then proceeded to read a very beautiful
and eloquent sketch of the life, valiant ser
vices aud glorious death of the revolution
ary hero, William Jasper, which, at its close,
was most enthusiastically applauded.
After tbe address the society was called

This matter was prepared in accordance
with request of the Governor, to whom was
referred a communication from Mr. Niles,
asking information in regard to the Colonial
history of Georgia.
The paper, as read by Mr. Bogart, gave
tbe loyal side of the matt, r, being a com
pilation of divers extracts from the corre
spondence of Governor James Wright.

siderable discussion, which was participated

chives aud reserved for future publication.
The question of celebrating the anniver
sary of the society on Monday, the 14th Feb

subsequently transferred to the Board of
Managers. Gen. Jackson and Dr. Arnold will
make addresses on the occasion, and the
Board of Managers, who meet on Thursday
evening next, at 8 o'clock, will select a third
person to deliver an eulogy upon Mr. Hodg
son, in the place of Hon. Solomon Cohen,

No other business being presented, on
motion tbe society adjourned.
THE ATTACK ON THE •SOLICITOK-
UENERAL.
Motion to Remove Coses to the United
States Court Overrated.
The Abolition of the Keeordershlp.
Editor Morning Eeros:
The action of Council abolishing the office
of Recorder and raising the Mayor’s salary
seems absolutely indefensible.
While there is no doubt that thelarga
majority of our citizens would gladly have
avoided this mortifying step, still in tho
financial difficulties of the city a materia 1
advantage gained thereby would in some
measure have compensated for tho moral
damage. But upon this ground it is impos
sible to justify the act.
The Recorder’s salary was twelve hundred
dollars. Had this been saved, Council
might have defended their conduct iu the
eyes of some citizens .by assigning econo
my as a motive.
The addition of five hundred dollars to
the Mayor’s salary, when that officer is suf
ficiently well paid* by a small city, exposes
the absurdity of such a pretence.
Moreover,"it is difficult to make us believe
that this saving of such a small sum could
not have been effected in some other way,
in tho sundry expenses of the members of
Council, or by curtailment of unnecessary
street labor. ’ What need have we of a Chief
Fireman, when the Chief of Police could
amplv perform his duties !
J3ut these are mere instances. The bald
fact is that tbe contemporaneous action of
Council stamps tb« e$o»om}- pretence as a
humbug. . _ . „ . _
Is it possible that the office was abolished
to displace the officer ?
The peculiar fitness of the late incumbent
for the place ; his integrity, fairness, his un
equalled reputation in this State as a Judge,
emphatically contravene such an idea.
It has been said that his decisions in the
office smacked tco much of the Judge, and
too little of sn administrator of the city.
God forbid that it should be otherwise ! His
greatest pride consisted in deciding law,
and not votes.
Council are too respectable to have con
sidered such au excuse valid.

Yesterday morning about ten and a half
o’clock, Judge Henry B. Tompkins gave a
hearing in the City Court room to the mo
tions in the case of the State vs. the Messrs.
Russell, indicted for riot.
Mr. John M. Guerard, as counsel for Mr.
Waring Russell, presented the following pe
tition, prefacing the same with the remark,
that though it had been signed by other
parties, he appeared for Mr. Waring Russell
alone:
State or Georgia, Coujcty of Chatham.
To the Honorable Henry B. Tompkins, Judge
of the Superior Courts in and for the East
ern Judicial Circuit, haring and entertain
ing jurisdiction in Chatham county,
Georgia :
The petition of tbe undersigned beg leave
respectfully to represent that there is now
pending against them in the Superior Court
of Chatham connty, a presentment for the
offence of riot alleged to have been com
mitted on one A. It. Lamar in said county ;
that your petitioners are informed and do
believe that your Honor is disqualified from
presiding in said cases in said coart, be
cause of the fact that your Honor was one
of the advisers and counsellors of the said
A. R. Lamar iu the matter of the present
ment against ns and each of us ; and be
cause your petitioners are informed and are
led to believe that because of your Honor’s
prejudice against us, and because of the
facts and circumstances connected with our
and each of our cases, they cannot have a
fair aud an impartial trial, as guaranteed to
them under tho constitutions and laws of
the United States and the State of Georgia.
Therefore, we and each of us respectfully
request and petition your Honor to transfer
the said cases now pending against ns and
each of us, to the Honorable the City Court
of Savannah, Georgia, for adjudication and
trial—the said City Court having fall power
and authority to try said cases, and juris
diction therein equal to your Honor’s Court.
Wo are respectfully,
P. M. Russell, Jb., R. YVayxe Russell,
Wabing Russell, Waking Russell, Jb.,
P. M. Russell, Sb., Thos. J. Sheet all.
After reading this petition Mr. Guerard
stated that it had not been drawn up by
him ; that he was counsel for only one of
the parties, and had dissented from the
course proposed to be pursued iu transfer
ring the cases to tbe United States Courts,
and that tbe one whom he represented, and
whom be regarded as a good aud worthy
citizen of Chatham county, had decided to
rest his case with the State courts. He was
opposed to the course contemplated origin
ally, as ho believed that it would have the
effect of separating a worthy citizen from
the mass of his fellow citizens, and he
felt personally gratified that he had
been enabled to accomplish this
much. As the City Court was concurrent in
its jurisdiction with the Superior Court, and
as the petition was couched in respectful
terms,he thought that the petition could be
granted if there were a shadow of a color of
truth in the statements therein made.
Judge Tompkins stated that he could not
consent to acknowledge that there was a
shadow of truth in the assertion that he was
prejudiced. That in the trial of the case it
was his duty to be governed by the law and
the fact, and that he would endeavor to ad
minister exact aud impartial justice. That if
he committed an error of the law the defend
ants had recourse to the Supreme Court of
the State of Georgia, where the errors com
plained of could be rectified. YVith these
remarks Judge Tompkins overruled the pe
tition aud made the following order :
“It being stated ia the application that only
YVariug Russell applied for removal uuder
the above petition, and that the other sign
ers withdrew their application after argu
ment by John M. Guerard, Esq., counsel
for YVaring Russell, it is considered and
adjudged that the petition be and the same
is overruled and refused. This 3d January,
1870.
“Henry B. Tompkins, Judge.”
Judge Tompkins then stated that he was
readv to hear Mr. Andrew Sloan, counsel
for the other parties, upon any motion ho
might bo pleased to make.
Mr. Sloan desired to know if in the event
the case of riot were tried in the Superior
Court, and afterwards carried to tho Su
premo Court, whether tho decision of that
conrt would iu any way effect the case
against Mr. Isaac Russell, indicted of mal
practice iu office, as a Justice of the I'eace.
Judge Tompkins replied that that was a
matter to be determined hereafter.
Mr. Sloan thereupon presented tho follow
ing petition :
State of Georgia, Chatham County.
Tbe State of Georgia vs. Isaac Russell,
Justice of tho Peace. Chatham Superior
Court. Malpractice in office. Iudictment
filed December, 1875.
November Term, 1875.
To the Honorable Henry B. Tompkins, Judge
of the Superior Courts of the Eastern Judi
cial Circuit of Georgia, exercising and en
tertaining jurisdiction of the Superior
Court of the county of Chatham:
Tbe petition of Isaac Russell, who avers
himself to be a citizen of tbe United States
of America, and of tbe State of Georgia,
and who resides in the said State of Geor
gia, and in the Southern District of Georgia,
to-wit: iu the city of Savannah, respectfully
shows: That your petitioner is tho defend
ant in tho above stated case, aud that there
by he has been indicted in the Superior
Court of Chatham county, on the 20th day of
December, A. D. 1975, charging malpractice
in his office, and that at the timo of tiling
said indictment p tititiouer was and still is
a citizen of tho United Spates and of the
State of Georgia, and a residei t of Savan
nah iu said State of Georgia, and that the
prosecution against him is a criminal one
uuder the laws of tbe State of Georgia and
of the United States.
Aud that your petitioner (as he has rea
son to believe and does believe) from preju
dice aud local influence will not be able to
obtain justice in the State Court where said
prosecution or suit is pending. And fur
ther, that he cannot enforce in the Superior
Court of Chatham county, in said State,
(that being the court where said prosecu
tion is pending), a right secured to him by
tbe constitution and laws of the United
States aud of the State of Georgia; and also
secured to him by the laws of tho United
States and the laws of the State ef Georgia
providing for tho equal civil rights of citi
zens of the United States and of all persons
within the jurisdiction of the United States,
viz: the right to have a fair and impartial
trial before the court where said suit is now
pending. That your petitioner is an officer
uuder and by virtue of tho laws of the State
of Georgia, viz: a Justice of the Peace in
aud for the Second Militia District of the
State of Georgia, said district being iu Sa
vannah, and he was such officer at the time
of the alleged malpractice in office, and the
charge so made against him grew out of his
official action as such officer. That your
petitioner cannot enforce in said State
court the right secured to him by the con
stitution and laws of the United States, and
the constitution aud laws of tbe State of
Georgia—tho rights secured to him under
the laws of the United States, passed May
11th, 1800, April 9th, 1866, May 11th, 1870,
and the act of Congress approved June 22d,
A. D. 1874, known as the Revised Statutes of
the United States. And your petitioner far
ther states that owing to tho prejudice
against him, and under the facts aud cir
cumstances of tbe case, he cannot get a fair
and mpartial trial of said case in the Superior
Court of Chatham county. That your peti
tioner is ready and willing to do all acts re
quired by the’laws of the United States to
perfect such removal as is prayed for in this
petition.
And you petitioner further asks the court
to order the Clerk of the Superior Court of
Chatham county to furnish him with
’copies of all papers pertaining to
said case, as required by section 641
of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, passed June 22d, 1874. And
petitioner prays that no further proceedings
or action be had in the Snperior Court in
said cause, but the same be removed to the
next term of tho Circuit Conrt of the United
States for the Southern District of Georgia.
And your petitioner would ever pray, etc.
Isaac Russell.
State of Georgia, Chatham County.
Isaac Russell, tho petitioner in tha fore
going petition, beiug duly sworn, deposes
and says that he has read above petition,
and knows the contents thereof, and tbe
same is true of his own knowledge, except
as to matters stated on information aud be
lief, and as to those matters he believes them
to be true. Isaac Russell.
Sworn to and subscribed before me De
cember 22, 1875.
James K. P. Carb,
Notary Public C. C., Ga.
In support of this petition, Mr. Sloan
cited section 641 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States, and 40th Georgia, Stewart
vs. Cntt, and argued thereon, contending
that though in the letter citation the canse
was civil, the principle was the same as it a
criminal action.
Judge Tompkins, commenting upon the
clause quoted from the United States
statutes, said, if that law is constitutional
and of fore*, the sooner the State courts
are broken up the better. If the Congress
of the United States has the right
to direct the removal from the
State courts of Georgia of offences
committed against the peace and dignity of
the State of Georgia, then it would be well
to remove a11 criminal cases from the juris
diction of the State oourts, and the effect
would be to destroy their functions. In
conclusion, he stated he had no hesitancy in
refusing the petition.
Mr. Sloan—Then, your Honor, we except
to yoor decision and ask for a bill of excep
tions.
Judge Tompkins—Very well, sir; you can
present your exceptions!
Mr. Sloan—Will I Lave time, yonr Honor,
to file the bill before you leave for Darien ?
Judge T.—I suppose so, sir, though the
time is short.
The following orders were then taken on
the petition, an application for snpercedeas
beinp subsequently made;
Upon argument being had by Andrew
Eloao, Esq., it is considered and adjudged
that the above application for removal of the
case of Isaac Russell, Justice of the Peace, to
the United States Court from the Superior
Court of Chatham county, be and the same
is overruled and denied." This 3d January,
1876.
Henry B. Tompkins, Judge.
Application being now made for a snper
cedeas in this cause, in order to allow the
above decision to be carried to the Supreme
Court of Georgia, the said supcrcedeas is
refusod. This 3d January, 1876.
Henby B. Tompkins, Judge.
After the decision of tbe Judge was an
nounced upon these motions, Mr. Sloan
stated that in regard to the riot case some
difficulty had occurred in consequence of
the withdrawal of Waring Russell from the
petition to transfer the case to the United
States Courts, and he would therefore ask a
postponement m the others until after His
Honor’s return from Darien.
Judge Tompkins—Very well, sir, I will
hear you upon tho matter on next Saturday
at 10 o’clock a. m.
Thus ended the matter for the present.
BOLTON’S BIG BONANZA.
The Disputed Will Caveated.
Although nothing has lately been said
concerning Bolton’s Big Bonanza, of which a
full account was recently given in the Morn
ing News, the parties concerned have not
been idle. Rev. Robert Bolton and his
counsel, Mr. Hastings, have been busily en
gaged in searching the records in support of
the will which he has filed iu the Ordinary’s
office, and which was published in full in
the Morning News. This will, as may be
seen by tho following proceedings filed in
the Court of Ordinary yesterday, has been
caveated :
Chatham Court of Ordinary, 1
January Term, 1876. \
In the matter of the application made by
Robert Bolton for letters of administration
upon the estate of Robert Bolton, late of
Chatham county, State of Georgia, de
ceased.
And now at this term of the conrt comes
Anna Maria Bolton, who avers herself to be
tbe widow of James Bolton, administratrix
with the will annexed of her said husband
and sole legatee thereunder, and who
farther avers that her sakl deceased hus
band was the grandson of the said Robert
Bolton, deceased.
And also comes John Bolton Sherrod, who
avers himself to be a great grandson of
said Robert Bolton, deceased.
And the said Anna Maria Bolton and the
said John Bolton Sherrod caveat the grant
iug of letters of administration to the
said Robert Bolton, upon the following
grounds :
1st. Because tho said Robert Bolton is not
next of kin to the said Robert Bolton, de
ceased.
Because the said Robert Bolton is not a
resident of the State of Georgia, and is not
heir-at-law of the {said decedent.
Because the said Robert Bolton is not
heir-at-law of the said decedent of equal,
greater or sole interest in his estate.
Because there are a number of persons
equally near of kin with the said
Robert Bolton to the said dece
dent, a majority of whom have
the legal right to select, by writing, the per
sou to be appointed administrator of said
estate, but who are debarred from expressing
a choice by the fact that their places of resi
dence are remote from Savannah, and re
mote from each other, aud they have en
joyed insufficient opportunity to secure con
cert of action.
Because there is one of kin to the said
decedent and interested in his estate, that
is to say, John Bolton Sherrod, who resides
in the State of Georgia, aud the county of
Chatham.

Metrspslltss llatel. J« anp, G«.
We invite the attention of the traveling
pnbhc to the card of Mr. A. M. Haywood,
proprietor of the Metropolitan Hotel at
Jesnp, Georgia. A recent sojourn of a couple
of days at this excellent hotel, enables ns to
sp.*ak of its merits and to commend it to the
public favor. The proprietor is an energetic,
enterprising young man, who devotes his
E ersonal attention to the management of his
ouse in all its departments, and neglects
nothing that will contribute to the accom
modation and comfort of his guests. His
tables are furnished with the best the^Savan-
uah market and surrounding country afford,
well cooked and tastefully served, while the
attendance is prompt, polite and obliging
The hotel is a large handsome new struc
ture that would be creditable to any
town in Georgia, its interior arrangements
being all that could be desired. The sleep
ing rooms, of which there are some
thirty in number, are neatly fin
ished, well ventilated and ekgantly
carpeted and furnished. In every depart
ment the most scrupulous cleanliness pre
vails. As an eating house for travelers, or
as a temporary stopping-place for invalids
or families seeking the quiet and comfort
of a well-regulated country hotel in the
healthy wire-grass, piney-woods region, the
Metropolitan is unsurpassed by any similar
establishment in Southern Georgia.

Freaka of a Drunken Necro.
A drunken negro, named Williams, raised
a row in Congress street lan6, near Price
street, yesterday, and, for a while, made
things lively for his friends. Jnst os he
was at the height of his exploits, and as
another darkey whom he hod attacked was
about to use an axe on him, a policeman
stepped in and arrested the fellow and took
him to the police barracks.

A Lively Domestic Scene in a Colored
Circle.
The vicinity of Congress street lane, be
tween Habersham and Price, yesterday
afternoon abont two o’clock, was intensely
excited over a row between two colored
troopers, in which tne wives of each indi
vidual took an active part. It seems Henry
Williams was quietly eating his dinner when
George Williams, who lives in the same
house, came up behind Henry and com
menced choking him. This proceeding did
not tickle the fanev ofJHeury’s wife, so she
told George to desist, when he turned
aronnd and knocked her down. Then a
general fhjht ensued. Before a policeman
arrived, Henry darted off to a migistrate’s
office for a warrant. In the meantime, how
ever, a policeman arrived aud arrested
George, who was- the only drunken party
and the canse of all the row. and the police
man had to cinb the negro in order to make
him proceed to the barracks. He was lock
ed up, and will probably interview the Re
corder this morning.
The excitement for a time was intense,^
and a very large crowd collected in tho
neighborhood.
About Bankruptcy.
The impression is erroneous th&t before a
man can become a bankrupt he has to show
an ability to pay fifty per centnm of his
debts. The thirty-third section of the
amended bankrupt act of 1874 provides that
a voluntary bankrupt, whose “assets shall
be equal to thirty per centum of his princi
pal debts,” may be discharged as a bank
rupt. Nine times oat of ten not more than
half the debts are proven, and in that case
the creditors fail to participate in the divi
dend. Where men have debts overhanging
them, ranging in sums of five dollars and
more, they usually find little opposition to
their getting a discharge, simply because
many creditors do not think it worth the
trouble to press their claims.
What Taxes He Pays.
Editor Mominq Eetcs:
“Citizen” mournfully informs “Alderman”
that he pays $250 per annum in taxes to the
city.
This information is given for the exclu
sive benefit of “Alderman,” as curiosity on
that subject is doubtless confined to that
gentleman.
“Citizen” would ask “Alderman” to re
ciprocate bis frankness, but for the fact
that the amount of “Alderman’s” contribu
tion is of no importance to “Citizen,” and,
iu all probability, of quite as little to the
city. Citizen.

The food contains tbe elements of bone, brain
and muscle, and in a healthy system, properly
nourished, the manufacture of these bodily con
stituents is uninterrupted, night or day. On the
other hand, when digestion or assimilation are
imperfect, the manufacture is hindered, and the
destructive not being counteracted by the repar
ative processes of Nature, the system is threat
ened with early decay. Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters are peculiarly fitted to overcome the causes
which lead to an untimely decadence of the vital
energies, removing as they do all obstacles to
complete digestion and assimilation of the food,
and restraining an undue waste of physical sub
stance. For the loss of strength consequent up
on depleting diseases, they are the best possible
remedy, and their bracing effects upon the sys
tem enable it to withstand hurtful atmospheric
influences inductive of malaria.
