Dentil of Mr. Thomas I,. Robertson.
We heard with deep regret yesterday, in
common with his numerous friends, of the
death of Mr. Thomas L. Robertson, well
and popularly known in this city. Mr. Rob
ertson was born in Norfolk, Va., in 1850, and
was a son of Mr. M. Robertson, who was
sent to Liverpool during the war as the
agent of the Confederate States Govern
ment, where he superintended the building
of ships for the Confederacy. He is now re
siding in Halifax. N. S.
The deceased eame to Savannah in 1866,
and was in the employ of Messrs. Crane &
Graybill, and was respected for his faithful
ness to duty and excellent business capacity.
During the last year or so of the existence
of the Advertiser he was engaged as
city editor of that paper, in which posi
tion he gave evidence of no common
ability. He was small in stature,
Lut big of heart, with the spirit of a lion,
and withal as gentle and tender as a wo
man. For some time past he had been a
sufferer from consumption, and months ago
his many warm friends were pained to ob
serve that he would soon fall a victim to
this dreadful disease. He died at 3 o’clock
Friday morning, at the residence of Mr.
W. E. Guerard, on Bolton street.
The deceased had been an active member
of Company B. of the Guards since the or
ganization of that corps after the war. They
will attend his funeral from Christ Church
this afternoon at 4 o’clock.
Attractions Musical.
Professor Mallette’s next concert (June
Gth) promises to be the finest amateur con
cert given in this city. On that occasion,
besides the other attractions, he proposes to
give, for the first time in this section, Mil
lard’s Mass in G. The Mass itself, which is
a beautiful composition, will be greatly im
proved by a full orchestral accompaniment.
While the Professor is, himself, directing
the vocal rehearsals, the orchestral parts
are being written by a learned scion.
The Professor is very sanguine of a de
cided suceesP, and if we can judge from his
past successes this last of his series of con
certs will well be worth the patronage of all
lovers of fine music, aud supporters of en
terprise.
The Fort Jloultrie Centennial.
The Savannah Cadets have also deter
mined to visit Charleston on the occasion of
the Centennial of Fort Moultrie. Private
W. M. Edw&rdy left this morning for
Charleston to make arrangements for the
company during their stay. So far the
Savannah Volunteer Guards Battalion of
three companies, Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
Savannah Cadets, Republican Bines and
Irish Jasper Greens have decided, and it is
reported that a detachment fnm the Chat
ham Artillery and Georgia Hussars will also
attend, so that Savannah will be well repre
sented.
Excitement at T,bee.
We learn there was considerable excite
ment in the city and at Tybee Thursday
night, occasioned by the report that two of
our prominent stock aud bond brokers had
located at the latter resort, with a view to
business. We understand already hotel
stock is looking up and tramway stock is at
a premium. The prospect of finding gold
in the “ White" Hill country will attract
mauv, aud it is believed in financial circles
that" the Mayor will be enabled to form a
joint stock mining company with ample
capital.

Anniversary of the Savannah Fire Coni-
paay—Ke-nnloa at White Blufl.
The anniversary of the Savannah Fire
Company was observed yesterday by its
members by the usnal excursion, breakfast'
aud dinner at White Blnff, and was one of
tile most pleasant re-unions of the kind that
that hospitable organization has ever given.
At six o’clock the members and invited
guests met at Mr. Thos. Feeley’s stables, '
and being safely stowed away in omnibuses
they started on the road, followed by the
oaggage wagon, containing the commissary
stores. The drive to the Bluff was verv
pleasant, where the party arrived at eight
o’clock. Breakfast was served by Mrs. Al
fred Robider, and besides the usual menu,
there was a plentiful supply of fiffi, crabs
and shrimps. After the morniDg meal was
disposed of, the party devoted themselves
to the usual amusements until dinner time.
The dinner was by general consent conceded
to have eclipsed those of former occasions,
and reflected credit upon Mr. and Mrs. Al
fred Robider, the caterers, and upon the
committee, Messrs. Frank Blair, John S.
Tyson and David Bailey.
As a matter of record, a brief sketch of
the company will not be uninteresting. O ir
older readers will remember the organ"/
tion as being a board of firemen who w a
officers of the tire companies composed -,.f
colored men, and which, probably, was u.e
first organized “paid fire department” i i
the world—the men who manr,< l
the old Hunneman, Jeffers and Batten c -
gines being paid by the hour for tin r
labor at fires. A long article could be wi i -
ten on the history of the old company.
With the close of the late war the organiza
tion was virtually dead, though it kept in
power until 1866, when it was superceded
by the Savannah Fire Department, which
in time (last year) gave way to
the present department. As a mat
ter of record, we append the names of
the companies which were officered by the
members of the Savannah Fire CompaDy ,
and which in days gone by made a grand
pageant on “the last Friday in May:”
Warren, No. 1, located in Reynolds
square.
Pulaski, No. 2, Pulaski square.
Franklin, No. 3, Franklin square.
Neptune, No. 4. Johnson ;Monument)
square.
Columbia, No. 5, Columbia square.
Georgia, No. 6, Wright (Court House)
square.
Tomochichi, No. 7, intersection of Indian
and Farm streets.
Wild Cat, No. 8, at the old Guard House,
(where the Metropolitan Hall now stands.)
Niagara, No. 11.
The above companies were all manned by
colored men. Besides these organizations
there were two suction engines and a
hook and ladder and several hose
companies. Probably no other city in the
world, of the same size, had so large a de
partment ; but, as large as it was, the scar
city of water before the introduction of the
present water system mrdeita difficult mat
ter to stop a conflagration compared to the
promptness of the present system and its
three steamers. Besides thqse colored or
ganizations there was the Oglethorpe No. 1,
YonngAmerica, No. 5,Washington, No. 9,and
Germania, No. 10, composed of citizens, the
officers of which were ex-officio members of
tbe Savannah Fire Company. Two of these
companies, the Washington and Germauia,
now known as Nos. 1 and 2, are in the pres
ent department.
It is not often that societies keep intact
ttieir organizations as this old compaoy has
done, aud as it is still vigorous it is to be
hoped that it has many years of life in it yet,
and that its members will live long to enjoy
its anniversaries, so that the time will be far
distant when the last surviving member
shall celebrate, single and alone, tbe “last
Friday in May.”

Considerable indignation was expressed
yesterday at the sight of a poor horse at

Festival of ibe Girls’ Aid Society.
Armory Hall presented a gay appearance
yesterday afternoon and evening, occupied
as it was by the fascinating maidens of the
Girls’ Aid Society, in their efforts to aid the
missionary cause. The hall was tastefully
decorated with evergreen festoons, while
the tables were covered with much to
tempt the appetite and delight the
eye. On the left was a long table, on
which were crabs, sandwiches, chicken
salad, cake, strawberries, ice-cream of
several kinds, sherbet, jelly, preserves,
candy, etc. On the opposite side were small
tables for the use ot visitors, besides a
larger one, on which were fancy articles of
every variety. In the centre arose a bower
of flowers, "while the chandeliers above
trailed with corresponding floral and mossy
decorations. Beyond stood another table
supporting several articles, tbe value of
which necessitated their sale by card sub
scriptions.
At five o’clock visitors commenced to drop
in, and aB the hours advanced these became
quite numerous, though we failed to see a
number whose avowed interest in the mis
sionary cause woultf have formed a sufficient
guarantee to the young ladies to look for
them with confidence. Nevertheless, the
sale of both eatables and fancy articles was
brisk, and onr young friends have doubtless
realized an encouraging sum.
A feature of special interest was the sale
of sundry articles by card subscription.
Tbe buyer obtain* a card bearing a certain
number, which may oi may not correspond
with one in a sealed envelope, which is to be
opened after all tbe cards are sold. The
number borne by this reserved card is
to be announced in the columns of the
Sunday Telegram or Mousing Nbws after
the festival is over; aud the fortunate pos
sessor of the duplicate is then to present his
card aud receive what he has become entitled
to. The enthusiasm and anxiety of some
little folks to learn the “ lucky number” was
qnite amusing.
Tbe mOBt popular article to be thuB dis
posed of was probably the picture of a
“Midsummer Night’s Serenade,” mentioned
in our issue of yesterday morning. We are
much tempted to enter upon a description
of this amusing picture, but the crowded
state of onr columns forbids ns. The artist
has a wonderfully clear conception of cat-
cbaracteristfcs.
The festival will be continued at Armory
Hall to-day, from II a. m. to 6 p. m., or
possibly later. A tempting lanch can be
obtained by all wbo will pause a few mon
ments at noon. The members of the Gen
eral Assembly, and all others who are in
terested in either the missionary work or
the attractive young la dieB, are expected to
call in force to-day. All can be served, and
all will be pleased.

KIGHTH DAY’S SESSION.
The “Frateraal” Qoe«tion—Animated De
bates.
The General Assembly convened at 9 a.
m. yesterday, the session being opened by
prayer from the Moderator. The inmates
of the preceding meeting were read and ap
proved.
The standing committee on the Commis
sioners’ Fund submitted a report, recom
mending that the system of per capita lax
be abandoned, and that the old system of
assessment be adopted. The report was
received and adopted.
A resolution was adopted authorizing tbe
Moderator to appoint a committee of one
from each Svnou, to select delegates from
their respective bodies to represent this
General Assembly .at the Pan-Presbyterian
Council.
The Auditing Committee submitted re
ports concerning the accounts of the Com
mittee on Education, aud also on the ac
counts of the Treasurer of the Assembly,
which were adopted.
The standing committee on Sunday
Schools, .concerning operations daring the
past year, made a report, which was received
and adopted.
A memorial was presented from the Pres
bytery at Hang-Chow, China, requesting to
be dissolved and returned to their respect
ive Synods. An elaborate report upon the
constitutional functions of the Assembly in
the matter was read. Considerable discus
sion followed, participated in by Judge
Gold, Rev. Mr. Primrose, Dr. Adger, Mr.
Carne and others.
Rev. John W. Primrose offered a resolu
tion to this effect, that in approving the
report ot the committee on the memorial
from Hang-Chow, respecting the ecclesiasti
cal status of foreign missionaries,this Assem
bly does not design to express any decision
respecting propositions touching the prin
ciples of our form of government, or the
official functions and sphere of the Evan
gelist. This was withdrawn after debate to
make way for a consideration of the whole
subject of the report. The final action of
the Assembly was the adoption of this reso
lution ;
Resolved, That the General Assembly has
no expressed constitutional power to es
tablish or dissolve Presbyteries, and accord
ingly that the brethren to whom the As
sembly of 1874 proposed to constitute the
Presbytery of Hang-Chow are now, and have
continuously been de jure members of the
same Presbyteries to which they belonged
at the time such action was taken.
The consideration of the rest of the report
was postponed till the next Assembly.
Ur. Cassels offered the following, which
was adopted:
Whebeas, The Bible is the foundation on
which rest ail our benevolent enterprises
underlying the missionary work, the SuDday
riclioofand the church itself; aud, whereas,
the American Bible Society has been and
stilt is an efficient instrumentality in accom
plishing the great work of the distribution
of the Scriptures; therefore,
Resolved, That this General Assembly re-
newedly commends the American Bible So
ciety to the confidence and support of all
our churches and congregations.
Dr. Hoge, taking the floor, said that it
was his desire to preserve and promote har
mony in the Assembly, and with this pur
pose had prepared a paper which he would
present herewith, and which he hoped
would have the tendency to harmonize the
conflicting views upon the matter of the
Presbyterian Confederation. He would fur
ther request that none of the brethren ou
the side espoused by him would say any
thing, but if those who had been against
him approved of the intent of this paper
they could merely rise in their piaces aud
say so, and the entire matter could ibus b£
disposed of in a few moments.
Dr. Hoge then read the following :
Resolved, That in appointing delegates to
the General Presbyterian Alliance, it is with
the distinct declaration that it is not to be
regarded as another and higher court, but
as an assemblage of committees appointed
by tbe several bodies which they represent,
for the purpose of joint conference aud
joint report, and for such action only as be
longs to au association of delegates thus
constituted.
On motion to adopt the resolution Dr.
Adger arose aud stated that he had no ob
jection whatever to this resolution, aud he
would say here that if Dr. Hoge’s modified
statement of the purposes aud character
of this Confederation had been made in the
beginning, he was sure the debate would
have been cut off considerably.
Mr. Carne stated that, as one who had
voted against the original resolutions, ho
would now say he heartily approved of this
paper, and hoped it would be unanimously
adopted.
The question was then put and adopted
with but one dissenting vote—that of ltev.
Mr. Brimm, of Texas, who explained briefly
his reason for voting in the negative.
Dr. Doremus here moved that the ayes
aud nays be taken on the original resolu
tions, but the motion was voted down by a
large majority. — •—
The Moderator announced the committee
to select delegates to the Pan-Presbyterian
Council to be as follows. He stated he had
selected these gentlemen without any refer
ence whatever to their views :
Judge B. M. Estes, Chairman.
Rev. Jos. Bardwell, Rev. Dr. DubOBC,
Mr. C. B. Morse, Judge T. J. Porter,
Rev. John Douglass, Gen. Samuel Price,
Mr. W. T. Russell, Rev. J. R. McIntosh,
Rev. Dr. R. K. Smoot. Rev. Dr. Burgett,
Bev. Josephus Johnson.
The Judiciary Committee, to whom
was referred the complaint of
Rev. A. Johnson against the Mem
phis Synod for dispensing with
the reading of the minutes of the previous
session in 1874; also, an appeal from the
same against the same for refusing to ad
mit to record his complaint made in 1875,
beg leave to report that the matter was en
tirely under the control of the body, and in
asmuch as your committee have no evidence
that any injustice was done the complain
ant, and no constitutional principle violated,
recommend that the complaint he dismissed.
The brethren seemed to be in a talkative
humor, and considerable discussion ensued
upon this subject, and several substitutes
were presented and were voted down. The
question recurring on the adoption of the
report, the same was adopted by a large ma
jority.
Mr. Joyes oflered the following, which, af
ter the usual discussion, was adopted:
“In view of the increasing calls upon the
General Assembly by overtures for the in
terpretation of the Form of Government
and Book of Discipline, and the difficulty of
consideriug properly such overtures amidst
tho pressure of the necessary routine busi
ness of the chareh, which requires all the
time,
“Resolved, That the Committee ot Bills
and Overtures be instructed to consider and
report to this Assembly whether it be not
expedient to refer again to the Presbyteries
the revised Book of Government and Book
of Discipline.”
The Ccmmittee on Bills aDd Overtures
submitted a number of papers, which re
ceived proper actioD.
A motion that the Assembly take a recess
uutil 8 p. m., in order that the several com
mittees should have time during the after
noon for attention to pressing business was
made and adopted.
Tbe session was then closed with the
usual devotional exercises.
NIGHT SESSION.
The Assembly convened at 8 p. m., and
the proceedings were opened by prayer
from the Moderator.
Ihe Committee on Bills and Overtures
submitted several reports, but, with two ex
ceptions, of no particular general interest.
The committee reported ou overture from
Mecklenburg concerning tbe right of meet
ing ot congregation to elect their officers,
deciding they had a right.
FKATEBNAL BELATIONS.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures
presented a resolution on an overture from
St. Louis Presbytery praying some action
from the Assembly looking to the establish
ment of fraternal relations with the North
ern Church.
The recommendation of the committee
gave rise to an excited and animated de
bate.
We had taken fall notes of the proceed
ings, but by request—as the matter will be
decided upon at an interlocutory meeting
this morning—present a mere oatline of the
speeches of different members, as showing
the sentiment of the Assembly.
On motion, previous to the commence
ment of tbe discussion, it was determined
that, in view of the grave importance of the
subject, the Assembly should invoke the
power of prayer.
The Moderator then called npon Dr.
Brank to pray.
Rev. Dr. Brank, said: We rejoice, our
Heavenly Father, that we are enabled to
come to Thee in every time of need, and to
look up to Thee for blessing and guidance.
Thou hast promised that if we need wisdom
Thou wilt give us liberally and will not
upbraid ns. Now, oh Lord, we come to
Thee humbly, an 1 beseech Thee to give
unto onr hearts that wisdom from above
which is, first—true, then peace. Oh, Lord,
grant that Thy Holy Spirit and presence be
with all who enter into the disenssion of this
subject which is now before ns—this sub
ject which so greatly concerns the peace,
good name and prosperity of our church,
which we all so dearly love. Oh,God,we only
ask Thee for Thy guidance and direction
in this whole matter, that we may do noth
ing wrong nor displeasing to Thy will. Oh
Gwi our Lord, guide us in all onr thoughts,
all our words and -deliberations in this im
portant matter, that we may reach con
clusions approved by Thee, and which will
be fer the good of our beloved church.
Oh Lord God, baptize us with Thy presence
and Thy holy spirit; fill our hearts with
brotherly lore and that oharity which cqv-
ereth a multitude of eius. Oh, guide us
and sniffer us to do nothing contrary to Thy
will and Thy holy word, and may all honor,
praise and glory be ascribed to Thy name
now and forevermore. Amen.
Bev. Dr. Smoot opposed the adoption of
the report, not entirely because he objected
to any effort to establish fraternal relations
with the Northern Church, but because he
believed that it was the initiatory of other
ateps. If he was satisfied the agitation of
oease with the adoption of this report he
wonld favor it, but he was convinced it
would not.
Bev. Mr. Parks, of Memphis, followed
in an advocacy of the report. Ha
contended that it was not the enter
ing wedge to other action on the
1 same liDe. He wonld take occasion here
to gay that he was opposed to organic onion
with the Northern onnrch on any terms—
utterly, totally aod completely.
Rev. Dr. White stated that "be was over
whelmed and astonished by the report of
the committee. He would rather go this
very night into conference with that church
than to endorse this report. This Assembly
could not adopt sneb a resolution consist
ently; the church conld not adopt it; they
would stultify themselves by the adoption
of such a statement. He urged unanimity
an opposing tbe adoption in a calm, delib
erate speech. He wonld make a motion to
lay the entire matter on the table, but that
he had "no desire to cut off any of the
brethren from an expression of their opinion
on the subject.
Rev. Dr. DnBose agreed with his brother
who had j list preceded him. He thonght
the time bad come when they should take a
firm stand. He considered these discus
sions calculated to do injury to their own
church. They could not, unless they were
hypocrites, adopt these resolutions; they had
done no wrong, and there was no occasion
to sacrifice their Christian dignity and man
hood to make apology, when they had noth
ing to apologize for.
Mr. Grattan considered the disenssion
of tbe subject was impolitic and impracti
cable, and as the best meaos of settling the
vexed question, and obtaining the sense of
the bodv, he would move to lay the report
ou the table and call for the ayes and noes.
At request, this resolution was with
drawn, in order to allow Dr. Robinson, of
tbe committee, to make a statement. Dr.
Robinson said that the committee had
only presented the report after
mature deliberation, and conference
with the leading and oldest members
of the church, and that only because the
matter was forced upon them was the report
introduced.
Judge Estes, iu au eloquent and earnest
speech, opposed the report, and regretted
exceedingly such a resolution had ever been
brought before this Assembly. Closing his
remarks, he offered a substitute re-affirming
the action of their delegate at the Baltimore
Conference.
Rev. Dr. Mallard, in some energetic re
marks, protesting against the measure, of
fered an amendment, which was, however,
not acted npon.
Rev. Dr. Brank, as a representative of the
St. Louis Presbytery, from which originated
this overture, made some explanatory re
marks concerning the matter, and stated
that it was the desire of his Presbytery to
establish fraternal relations.
Mr. Alexander, of the same Presbytery,
made some similar remarks, alluding to tiio
inconvenience and trouble occasioned
Southern churches in the border States.
He was followed by Rev. Mr. Branch,
who spoke at great longth in opposition.
Here a motion to adjourn was made, sup-
C lemented by a motion that the Assembly
avo an interlocutory meeting on this sub
ject in the morning.
After an impressive prayer by tho Mod
erator the Assembly adjourned.
db. hoge’s speech.
In our report of Dr. Hoge’s speech on the
“Pan-Presbyterian Council,” published in
yesterday’s Mobning News, some errors
were inadvertently made, which, of course,
will be readily corrected by those who
heard it, but which might mislead those
who were not present.
Dr. Hoge d.d not state that he was ready
to enter into "any” relation with the North
ern General Assembly, etc:, but “into fra
ternal relations with the Northern Assem
bly whenever a basis could be agreed on
proposing termB which were just on the part
of that body and honorable to ourselves.”
Neither did the Doctor state that
he had been arrested and impris
oned in Fort WarreD, but that
during his absence in England, while
the war was in progress, a letter had been
written, addressed to a Northern officer,
and which got into tbe newspapers, express
ing the hope that he would be captured on
his return home aud imprisoned in Fort
Warren. He ran tho blockade without
being captured, and, of course, was never
imprisoned.

Base Bail Championship.
Editor Morning News;
Allow us space in your valuable paper to
correct a paragraph that appeared in it a
day or two since, in regard to tbe recent
matoh between tbe Magnolias, of Augusta,
and the Rainbows, of Savannah. It was
stated that the Magnolias had not eonceded
tbe championship of the State to the Rain-
bowB, and thought it presumption on onr
part for thus asserting onrselves. Tbe re
cent match was played on these terms : The
winner to retain the championship of the
State of the junior base ball clnbs. The
Augusta club was fully aware ol it when
they accepted the challenge, and were ap
parently satisfied with the result. We have
already defeated this clnb twice—once here,
and once on her own grounds in AngUBta—
two out of two—more than they required,
they claimiug that we will have to get the
best two out of three. Any club disputing
tbe junior championship throughout the
State can send iu their challenges.
Yery respectfully,
I(ainbow Base Ball Club.
