Mr. Kidd w.ts arrested again yesterday
morning, for violating the internal revenue
lav, the new charge being that of selling to
bacco without a license. After a short exami
nation ho was bound over in the sum of $250
for trial at the April term of the Diatnct
Retrenchment.
Enlilor Morning Aeics :
As retrenchment is to be the order of the
day with our City Council, who have already
made reductions in the public expense that
will save annually several thousand dollars,
allow me, through vour columns, to call the
attention of Council to a matter which, if
carried into effect, will save at least $2,000
per annum more to the city.
At a regular meeting of the Couucil, held
ou the evening of the 9th of February, 1875
a memorial was read from a committee of
the Georgia Medical Society in reference to
medical attendance to the poor of the city,
and containing a proposition whereby the
city would be largely the saver and the poor
be greatly benefited.
This proposition was that the City Coun
cil should divide the city into two districts
as nearly equal as possible and authorize
the appointment of one physician for each
listrict (who should serve for two years) at
a salary of $2,000 per annum, he furnishing
all his medicines. Thus the expense of
medical attendance and medicine for the
poor would cost the city but $4,000, whereas
under the present system the expense to
the city is nearly $0,000 for furnishing medi
cines only.
By reference to the oflicial report of the
City Treasurer for the year ending Decem
ber 31, 1874, the expenses of the City Dis
pensary were as follows:
Ciil.i.i' nf It urmAV on.I A coifl
Salary of Keeper and Assistant
Medicines furnished, coal, wood, etc.
.$1,775 42
. 3,358 25
$5,133 67
The building occupied by the City Dis
pensary is valued at $S,e00. and should
rent for $500 per annum 800 00
Total exjieuses $5,933 67
These figures will show where a saving of
$1,933 07 could be made, to say nothing of
the more prompt medical attendance the
poor would receive.
It will also be seen that no provision
whatever has been made by the city for sup
plying the poor witli any medical attend
ance, leaving them entirely at the charity ot
the medical profession for medical advice
and attention, and no doubt much suffering,
and, in some instances, death bas been the
result of hesitation in calling in the gratuit
ous services of a physician in season.
Iu order that capable and responsible
men be secured, the Georgia Medical So
ciety proposes to nominate two competent
physicians to be confirmed by the City
Council, and provisions made for inflicting
penalties for neglect of duty.
Economy.
Admitted to the Bar.
Iq accordance with previous assignment,
the examination of three applicants for ad
mission to the bar of Chatham county took
place during yesterday’s session of the Su
perior Court.
The applicants were Messrs. Theobald M.
Foley, D. J. Foley aud Charles N. Lathrop.
The court appointed as examiners Messrs.
S. Yates Levy, T. li. Mills, Jr., Geo. A. Mer
cer and the Solicitor General, who subjected
the young gentlemen to a thorough and
critical examination, under which tnev ac
quitted themselves most admirably, * and
were complimented therefor.
Iu tendering' them tbeir commissions as
members of the legal profession, Judge Fot-
tlo took occasion to favor them with a sound,
practical lecture, counseling them to so
conduct themselves under all circumstances
as to reflect credit not alone npon them-
se.vcs but upon the profession they had
chosen; to always respect the law and its
representatives; to be charitable, courteous
and fair, aud to yield the same respect to
the most inferior and meanest Justice of the
Peace in Chatham county as they would to
the most eminent Judge of the Superior
Court, or the highest court of their State,
as the former were as much the representa
tives of the law as the latter, and no per
sonal feelings should be allowed to enter
into their discussions before them.
He also counseled them to cultivate cour
tesy and fraternity in the profession, and
not to take advantage of their position to
wound the feelings of a witness or insult or
browbeat him ; to always respond to what
calls might be made upon them ; never to
refuse to defend the poorest criminal who
appealed to them. It was a most excellent
lecture, and was delivered in an impressive
manner, which could not have failed of ef
fect. The advice given might be acted
upon with profit by others than the young
gentlemen who were just entering the pro
fession.
A Chance for Those Onl ot K)uiplo>nient.
During the present season there has been
much complaint upon the part of agents of
theatrical companies coming to Savannah of
the meagre facilities for “billing the city,”
and surprise has beeu expressed that suoh
the case. There are at present, it ap
pears, not more than sufficient boards for
one good company, ami yet there are three
We gave in yesterday’s News & resume of
the main features in the case of Oliver et
al., complainants, and Cally and Swoll, de
fendants, which had been on hearing in the
Superior Court several days, and which was
concluded on Thursday. We now present
in full the decision of Judge Pottle, rendered
on the occasion, and which has been pro
nounced by all who heard it, including
the most eminent members of the bar,
as a very admirable and logical exposition
of the law:
Robert S. Oliver et al., vs. George S. Cally
et al. Bill for relief, Ac.
The bill in this case alleges that in 1842
one Aspasia Miranlt purchased from the City
Council of Savannah lot No. 22, in Pulaski
ward; that twenty per cent, was paid on the
purchase, the balance of the purchase
money, by way of interest on the same,
known as ground rent, to be paid in accord
ance with the ordinances of the city; that the
defendant, Cally, took the title to said
lot; that she put very valuable improvements
ou the lot, lived on it, paying taxes, etc.,
and died iu 1857, leaving the complainants,
the child and grandchildren, heirs at law:
that in 1872, for the first time, Cally, he
having been in possession after the death of
the ancestor, did set up adverse possession
to the lot in his own right. Also, that in 1872
the City Marshal re-entered uoon said
lot, aud sold the same for non-payment of
ground rent, and that Swoll became the
purchaser at the Marshal’s sale. The deed
of Swoll is exhibited to the bill, and also the
deed of the City Council to Cally. The bill
prays that Cally may be declared trustee for
the heirs at law, and that the deed to Swoll
may be delivered up and canceled, inasmuch
as the re-entry was not made in accordance
with the ordinances of tlie city, and also not
in accordance with the same ordinances in
this, that the Marshal did not give the tyth-
ing, number and street, and did not adver
tise the sale for thirty days.
To this bill, ''ounsel of Cally file a plea—
a pure plea—alleging that Aspasia Mirault
was a free person of color, and that
the contract of purchase in 1842
was illegal, and in violation of the
act of 1818. Counsel for Swoll
demur to the bill for want of equity;
that the bill, on its face, shows title out of
Cally aud does not show that the re-entry
was not according to the ordinances.
The plea is demurred to as being insuffi
cient m law; and that makes tho first ques
tion for the decision of tho court. It is a
matter of regret that with the short time
given for considering these questions, aud
a want of familiarity with the largo num
ber of ordinances, the court is not able to
familiarize itself with the city laws bearing
upon the important question of ground
rent titles.
It is very clear from the bill that if the
law difficulty made by the plea is out of the
way, Cally’s possession was iu equity that of
trustee for the mother of the complainants.
If he paid no money—if she died and put
all of these'valuable improvements on the
lot and paid ground rent and taxes during
her life—no court can say that it would be
just to allow Cally to retain possession of
this property in his own right.
By the deed,and the ordinances of the city;
the’title which the purchaser took was an
indefeasible title, defeasible upon the non
payment of ground rent. The re-entry is
allowed to bo made on non-payment of
ground rent, in the manner pointed out in
the ordinances.
First, then, is the plea good ?
In 1818, the Legislature made it illegal for
tree persons of color to buy laud or slaves.
In 1819 this act was repealed
as to real estate, except as to
Savannah, Augusta and Darien. It will
be observed that this act in where provides
that the contracts of purchase of land is
Void, but declares that it shall be forfeited
—teu per cent, to the informer, the balance
equally divided between the State and city
ot Savannah. A penally of one thousand
dollars is also provided iu tho act. The for
feiture was to be accomplished by county
escheators.
The difference between this act and the
acts prohibiting manumission by will, etc.,
referred to iu the argument of Mr. Norwood,
in connection with Cobb vs. Battle, 34 Geor-
gia Reports, is that the latter acts do in ex
press words declare all wills and convey
ances void, so far &b manumission is at
tempted in either.
The court holds, that, inasmuch as no foj-
feituro was declared iu the manner pointed
out iu the act, or in any way—none is pre
tended—the title is not coid. but voidable.
Au adjudication of forfeiture would have
made it void.
“When a forfeiture of goods and chattels
is imposed for the violation of an act of the
Legislature, aud a right to sue for such vio
lation is given by siat*ite, the right to the
property does not ipso facto vest in the par
ty to wfiom the property is given by the
prohibited act being done, but a proceeding
in a court of law must be had adjudging
the forfeiture, and declaring tho party en
titled to the property.” 10 Wendall Reports,
26G.
No forfeiture having been decreed prior
to emancipation, how is that transaction in
1842. affeqjed by the resolution which swept
all of them from the statute book ? Can
this court now say that this illegal purchase
cannot be set up in view of our own aud
United States laws ? To do so would be to
give effect to a repealed act providing
penalties.
“No judgment can bo rendered on a re
pealed statute; the repeal prevents the im
perfect right from being consummated, aud
it is competent for the Legislature to pass
such repealing statutes at any time before
final judgment.” Bank of St. Mary’s vs.
tho State, 12 Georgia Reports, 475. See
Geatou vs. the United States, 6 Crouch.
It must bo borne in mmd that the legal
status of free persons of color was that of
perpetual infancy. Tho ploa is therefore
bad, and the demurrer must he sustained.
Secondly. Is the demurrer well taken?
The Court thinks not. The bill does aliega
that the re-entry was not according to the
ordinances—the tything, number and street
not having been given by the City Marshal.
There is every reason why this should be
done before title is divested. The sale to
Swoll was not advertised for thirty days.
Again, Swoll’s deed was signed by the City
Marshal. By an ordinance, when grouuil
rent is not paid tho Marshal must, after a
certain time, ro-euter, and then the lot may
be sold on the condition provided for tho
original sales. Who made tho title to Cally?
The Mayor and Council. To make, then,
the sale good the deed must have been
signed by the Mayor and Council. The
Marshal may sell for non-payment of
city tax, and may make a deed ;
For non-payment of ground rent, the title
cannot be made by him. But, even if there
was a lawful re-entry for non-payment of
ground rent, can the City Council take back
the title aud resell when there have been
valuable improvements put on the lot? In
this case about eight hundred dollars was
the amount fixed as the value in the deed.
Twenty per cent, was paid down; all that
the ordinance requirod was paid. The bill
alleges that after that very valuable im
provements were put on the lot. Can it be
seriously contended that the City Council
could divest the title by re-entry and sale
with the improvements ? Such a position is
startling, and though the counsel for the
defendants do not assume that this cau be
done, yet such would be the result. Iu any
view of the case, or this branch of it,
complainants would be entitled to coin
pensation for tho value of the
improvements. If the ordinances
of tho city do not so provide the court does
not decide whether it coaid be done in spite
of those ordinances. As the court under
stands the nrdtnances the Mayor and Coun
cil of the city do not claim the right to val
uable improvements put ou the lots after
the sale without paying compensation.
E. H. Pottle,
Judge Superior Court Northern Circuit, pre
siding.
Thirty-Five Thousand Dollar* Salvage
Claimed.
In yesterday’s News mentiou was made of
the fact that the steamship Huntsville, of
the New York and Fernandina line, had
been towed into Tybeo in a disabled condi
tion by the steamer Dictator.
Daring yesterday morning Mr. C. L.
Leary, for'himself and other owners of the
Dictator, filed a libel in the office of the
Clerk of the United States District Court
against the steamship Huntsville, her tackle,
apparel, etc.,claiming salvage to the amount
of $35,000. The bill sets forth the following
allegations:
First. That tho said steamship Dictator,
on the 6th January, A. D. 1876, loaded with
a perishable cargo, com is ting partly of or
anges, was upon a voyage from Fernandina,
Florida, to Savannah, when abont three
o’clock the attention of said master was di
rected tp rockets which were being thrown up
by a vessel in distress. He approached the
vessel, which proved to be tne Huntsville,
of New York, bound from New York to Fer-
naudiua with a valuable general cargo. The
said Huntsville had been entirely disabled
by the breaking of her shaft, which entirely
destroyed her capacity to move by her owu
power, and she was lying at the mercy of
the waves and of the sea, which was rolling
h :avily.
Second. That upon reaching the Hunts
ville the Captain of the Dictator learned
that the vessel was iu a helpless condition,
and at the request of the command
ing officer took her in tow,
and towed her into Savannah, where she is
now lying with her cargo preserved and her
crew in safety.
Third. That tho said Huntsville, at the
time she was so approached and taken in
tow by the Dictator, was lying off Sapelo
inlet, about thirty-five miles southeast of
Savannah, and, on account of her crippled
was in imminent
and disabled condition,
danger of total loss.
Fourth. That the said Dictator was a
common carrier, engaged in the transporta
tion of freight and passengers, aud had
upon board of her both freight and passen
gers at the time, and iu so deviating from her
course to render assistauce to the Hunts
ville she not only sustained considerable
damage to her hull, a portion of the wo d
work of the same having beeu carried away,
but imperilled herself and her cargo.
Fifth. That the valno of the sanl Dictator
and cargo was not less than $100,000, and
the value of the said Huntsville and cargo
not less than the said sum or one hundred
thousand dollars, and that in consideration
of the premises the said libellants are en
titled to salvage to the amount of $35,000.
Jackson, Lawton and Basinger, proctors
for libellants.
A tug was sent down to Tybee to tow the
Huntsville up to the city.
Chatham Superior Court.
Judge E. H. Pottle, of the Northern Judi
cial Circuit, presiding.

o’clock, when the following proceedings were

The Beaufort Tribune, of the 5th, haB this
paragraph :
A man named Patrick Brantley was ar
rested on Christmas at Hilton Head and
was handenfied and placed in the jail at
that place by Trial Justice Brown. During
the night Brantley succeeded iu breaking
out, and returning home set fire to and
burned his house. A newly born infant
perished in the flames. Brantley then left

companies already announced. The majority
of the posting boards have been secured by
the circus, and the other two companies
have to content themselves with displaying
their announcements in the windows
of stores. Good prices are al
ways paid for these posting boards,
and during the winter they yield quite a
handsome revenue. We understand that
tho circus has paid seventy-five dollars for
this privilege. The license is only tweutv
dollars per aunum, aud the cost of con
structing these bill boards is small, as they
can be made out of refuse lumber. Thea
trical men inform us that one hundred ad
ditional boards would not be too many for
companies desiring to thoroughly placard
the city. Here then is a chance for some
enterprising young man out of employment
to make sufficient to pay for the trouble
and expense incurred. Boards put ap now,
although it is late in the season, would
prove profitable, as there are « number of
companies advertised for Savannah during
tho next three months.
AbKenrr of I'ustoui House Officials.
11 would appear that the large amount of
shipping which is daily arriving at this port
has not caused any inconvenience to the
Custom House officials, as several of them
were absent yesterday from the granite
building, among them the Collector, Col.
Atkins, who left several days since for
Washington, aud his Deputy, Captain Bry
ant, who, we understand, is in Florida. We
believe, under the old regulations, either
one or the other of these officers were re-
qn red to be at his post, but probably the
rule is changed. However, they have very
efficient assistants, and everything, we sup
pose, goes on just as well.
Bankrupt Roll.
We learn from Mr. James McPherson,

Tied to the Shore.
More than a week since tho Coroner was
notified that the body of a drowned man had
been found in South Channel and tied to the
shore, just below Augustine creek. Yester
day, on my way down the river, I found the
body of a drowned man, tied to the shore,
on the south side of South Channel, abjut
one hundred yards below Augustine creek.
The body was very much decomposed, and
I presume is the same body to which the
attention of the Coroner was’called, certain
ly more than a week ago.

In the active pursuit of pleasure or gain,
the estimable blessing of health is too often
forgotten until disease is firmly seated, and
the fact only realized by great bodily and
mental suffering. The liver is the vulnera
ble point in most persons, aud the disar
rangement of the orgau involves almost the
whole system; hence tho reason why under
liver disease there is enumerated such a
number of afflictions, aud we claim the Sim

them all. jan7-F,M,WAwl

Ilovr the Blood la Filtered.
When the blood contains the acrid elements
which produce rheumatism, gout and venal dis
orders, the kidneys ought, for it is their office, to
filter from the blood, iu its passage through them,
these hurtful impurities. When they do not.
they may be incited to a thorough performance
of their dnty, and the blood thorough y depu
rated by that admirable corrective of organic in
activity, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Not only
is torpidity of the kidneys overcome, through
the agency of the Bitters, bnt digestion is facili
tated, billions tendencies counteractxi, and the
bowels stimulated to a due discharge of their
function, which, in connection with that of the
kidneys tends to free the system from the bodily
refuse, whose retention is so prejudicial to health.
