The Theatre—i>lls« Anderson an Juliet.
The Theatre last evening was graced
with a most brilliant and fashionable audi
ence—the entire parqnette and dress cir
cle showing not an empty seat, whilst
standing room was at a premi
um. The occasion was the first ap
pearance in our city of the charming young
actress, Miss Mary Anderson, supported by
a splendid company. Our space is so
crowded this morning that we are unable
to notice tho performance as we desire.
The leading members of the company render
ing support to Miss Anderson are artistes
of talent, and the entire play was pre
sented, under the excellent management ot
Mr. T. A. Hall, in most admirable style.
It is difficult to analize briefly the acting
f “Juliet.” From first to laet she
was superb. Such complete identification
with the character, such intensity of acting,
such an observance of all the changes aud
strength of emotion, have perhaps never
been seen on our stage. “Too early seen
unknown, and known too late,’ 1 she asks the
nurse, “who is he that follows there, that
would not dance ?” It is a fine stroke,
where she asks the name of each of
tho three visitors as they leave the hall,
aud then with such eager intensity
sends the nurse to ask his name. Her
reading of the part in the balcony scene is
almost perfect, with its change of voice,
now soft with love, now harsher in terror at
the thought of his being slain should any of
her kinsmen find him there. This part is
full of these changes and alterations, com
mencing with her passionate delivery, aud
then her start of surprise at tho intruder in
the garden, relenting again, with a heavenly
smile of love at his name. It is almost im
possible to convey to the reader an idea ol
her rendering of this.
Her manuer of awakening in the tomb is
admirable. Her rising dazed at the unro-
mombered place, her faltering tongue aud
broken utterance, her seizing the poison,
glad discovery of the dagger, and crawling
with her weakened strength to the body of
“Romeo,” up n whose breast she places
her living form, and dies with a farewell
kies, of course complete one of the grandest
impersonations of the stage.
To-night our playgoers will have the op
portunity of seeing her in an entirely dif
ferent character, “Meg Merriles,” in “Guy
Mannering.” All thelcfcoice seats have al
ready been taken, and the anticipation is
of ano’her large house. On this occasion,
the great prima donna, Mies Annis Mon
tague, will also appear.
To Advertiser*.
Our “cheap column” plan of charging by
the line for advertising, instead of by the
old and complicated method of squares, has
met with such great success and proved so
satisfactory to advertisers in general, that
we Lave determined to adopt tho system for
ail classes of advertising, allowing a liberal
deduction for continued advertisements.
We respectfully invite the attention of our
patrons to our rates, which will he found in
the usual place on the first page.

Among the passengers who arrived here
yesterday by the Savannah and Charleston
train from Charleston was Captain T. G.
Budd, a former merchant of that place,
but latterly of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Captain Budd proceeded to McConnell’s
European Honae and registered. It was un-
derstoidhe was en route to Jacksonville,
Florida, to meet hia wife aud family. Hu
appeared perfectly well, aod was' quite
friendly and sociable to those with whom he
came in contact.
About six o’clock he entered the restau
rant and called for his sapper, which
was promptly served h;m. Whilst
eating, be was observed to sud-
denly tumble off his chair. On approaching
S. im ^ e attendant found he was insensible.
Ur. Charters was at once summoned, and
upon examination pronounced the man
dead.
Coroner Chisholm was immediately noti
fied, and arriving in a f ew minutes pro
ceeded to hold an
inquest,
when the following facts were elicited :
Edward Reilly Bworn and testified: “I
am the driver for McConnell’s European
Ilou-e; I brought deceased from the Charles
ton train; he told mo to drive him to the
City Point landing; I brought him from
there to the European House.”
D. R. Box sworn and testified: “I am a
clerk at McConnell’s European House; de
ceased came into the house and registered
as T. G. Budd, Charleston, 8. C.; said ho
wanted to stay at the house; he ordered
something to eat, and sat at the table eat
ing; I heard some one fall; looked around
and saw deceised lying on the floor; he was
intoxicated when he came to the house- I
assisted in picking him up; he never gpoae
after he fell.” y
James E. Mikell sworn and testified: “I
am from Charleston, S. C.; I know deceased
by sight; I have understood always his name
was 1\ G. Budd; he has a son and brother
uving in Charleston; his brother is T. S.
Budd; I only know his son as Tom Badd; I
understood that deceased had recently come
from Nova Scotia to Charleston; have fre
quently seen him under ths influence of
liquor; suppose from his appearance he was
a hard drinker.”
H. Morrow sworn and testified: “I saw de
ceased come into the house (European
House); talked pleasantly; he said he was
going to Jacksonville to join his family, who
were in Jacksonville; did not appear to be
under the iufluenco of liquor.”
Wm. M. Charters, M. D., sworn and testi
fied : “I am a practising physician iu Savan
nah, Ga.; was called in haste about 6
p. m. to see a person ; saw deceased sitting
partly reclining, and entirely dead ; know
nothing of causo of death ; the pupils of
eyes were very much distended ; I judge his
age to be about sixty or sixty-five years.”
The jury upon this evidence returned a
verdict that “the deceased had como to his
death from apoplexy.”
On the person of the deceased was found
the following letter of introduction, ad
dressed to Benjamin Hart, Esq., of the firm
of Law ton, Hart & Cc. t of this city :
Cjiableston, S. C., January 23,1877.
Benj. liart, Esq.:
Dear Sib—Allow mo to introduce to you
my triend, Mr. T. G. Baud, a former mer
chant of this place, hot more recently of
Halifax, Nova Scotia. He goes to Savannah
in search of business, and it will confer a
favor on me if you can assist him in any way
in this respect. Mr. Budd is a man of large
business experience, and wishes again to re
establish himself iu the South. There can
bo no question of his compoteuco in any kind
of commercial business. Hoping you may
bo of service to Mr. Budd, believe me very
truly yours, L. H. Shuck.
There was also found on his person some
$15 or $20 in currency, a pocket knife, an
ainbrotypo of a lady' supposed to be his
wife, and the photograph of a child, pre
sumed to be his daughter, together with
some other articles. The remains w- re
taken charge of by Coroner Chisholm,
and will be properly cared for until some
information is received from his relatives or
friends.

around said city.
7he Senate and House of Jtepresentaiives
of the Sta'e of Georgia, in General Assembly
met, do hereby enact, That from aud after
the passing ot this act section 4815 of the
Revised Code of 1873, which confers upon
the Mayor and Aldermen of tho city of Sa
vannah power to establish a complete sys
tem of drainage in and around said city,
shall be amended by tho addition thereto of
tho following words, viz: “And the said
Mayor and Aldermen shall also have entire
and absolute control and jurisdiction of all
soil pipes and private drains, and
sewers, water closets, privie-», privy
vaults, and dry wells iu said city, with full
power to prescribe their location, structure,
uses, aud preservation, and to make such
regulations concerning them in all particu
lars as may seem best for the preservation
of the health of the inhabitants of said city,
and with power also to require changes or
the total discontinuance of any such con
trivances and structures already in exis
tence or that may be hereafter allowed.”
An Act to authorize the Mayor and Aider-
men of the city of Savannah to enlarge, ex
tend and perfect the drainage system of
said city, with a view to the preaervat on
of the health of the same, and to appro
priate money to aid them in so doing.
Whereas, the Ogeocheo and Vernou riv
ers cover au area equal to at least one-third
tho area of Chatham county ; and whereas,
the swamps lie outside the jurisdiction of
the corporation of the city of Savannah, and
nevertheless have each an outle within the
corporate limits of said city, which outlets,
in spito of the care aod large expenditures
made by said city to the dangers of overflow
and the pestilential diseases incidental there- ,
to ; and whereas, it is represented that the
completion of the Musgrove canal under
and to a point immediately south of
the Ogeechee canal, with a culvert thirty
feet in capacity under the sail Ogfe-
chee canal, would entirely relieve the
said city of Savannah from overflow of
the waters of said Ogeechee swamp ;
aud whereas, it is represented that tne
extension of the Bolton street sewer to the
straight and direct part of Bilbo canal would
relieve tho city from the pressure of the
waters of Vernon swamp, and also relieve
the said city from the diseases engendered
by the accumulation of sewage mat
ters in the crooked open drain necessi
tated by the peculiar location ,of
the outlets to the Vernon swamp ;
aud whereas, tho Musgrove creek or natu
ral outlet to the northern part of the Ogee
chee swamp discharges into the Savannah
river at a point in the immediate vicinity
of the water supply of the said city;
and whereas, it is represented that a ce
ment pipe four feet in diameter,and extend
ed one-half mile up tho river, would insure
pure water to ihe said city.
lie it therefore enacted by the General
Assembly of Georgia, That the Mayor and
Aldermen of the city of Savannah are
authorized to construct the works and make
tho char ges and improvement above speci
fied, aud that the sum of $60,000 be and is
hereby appropriated from the treasury of
the State to aid the said Mayor and Alder
men in constructing said works, and effect
ing said changes and improvements.
Alderman Waring supported these bills in
a Lrief speech, aud offered the following
resolution, which w is adopted :
liesolved, That the Mayor and Aldermen
in Couucil assembled, do recomaioud to the
General Assembly of Georgia the passage of
a bill for tho relief of the city of Savanuah
from the dangers of pestilential diseases,
and that the Representatives from this dis
trict he requested to urge its passage, more
especially iu view of the fact that this coun
ty has, since the close of the war, contribu-
ed a fifth, then a seventh and now a tenth
of the whole taxation of the State.
ordinances.
An ordiuanco to provide for the temporary
appointment of a Deputy City Marshal.
Ordinance on its first reading.
Alderman Hamlet desired to know if it
was proposed to pay this officer.
The Mayor stated that it was essential
this officer should Le appointed, and of
course he could not be expected to work for
nothing.
Alderman Williuk wished to know if it
was not the duty of the Marshal t o pay this
deputy. Ho did not consider tho city flash
eDongh to pay two officers.
The Mayor remarkc-d that Capt. Stiles, the
City Marshal, was sick, and he was unable
to answer the question. It was true that
tho city was poor, hut the appointment of
this officer was necessary. The formor
board Lad passed a similar ordinance in
July last.
Alderman Lovell moved that the rules he
suspended, and the ordinance be put upon
its passage.
Alderman Waring objected, and stated he
thought the ordinance should he maturely
considered before being passed. For him
self ho would ho unable to vote upon it to
night, but at the next meeting he would he
better prepared to act.
Objection having been made, the ordi
nance was laid over.
applications.
Application of Thomas Foeley to repair
buildings. Referred to Fire Committee.
Application of Chief of Police fjr an ap
propriation of $200 for two horses lost in
service of the city. Referred to Finance
Committee.
Application of William Cleary, lessee of

to danger to his land on account of the
weakness of the banks of Bilbo’s canal. Re
ferred to Dry Culture Committee.
resolutions.
Bv the Finance Committee—
Resolced, That the City Marshal adver
tise tor sale for payment of ground rent all
lots on which four quarters are due, the
sale to be made in accordance with the ordi
nance governing the same.
Alderman Waring took the floor, and
stated that be was in favor of an ordinance
providing for a rigorous collection ef the
ground rents aud taxe*, and affixing a pen
alty upon failure to pay the same after a
specified time. These taxes, when legally
and equitably imposed, ebould be promptly
paid. The matter should be considered
purely in the abstract and not
as a favor. Tho law requires that
tho ground rents should bo paid
quarterly, and he did not think this resolu
tion definito enough. He would, theiefore,
move that it be referred back to the Finance
Committee.
The motion was seconded and loit, and
tho resolution, beiug put on its passage, was
adopted.
By Alderman Purse—
. Resolced, That in view of the present
embarrassed financial condition both of the
city and county, the Committee ou Educa
tion be instructed to confer with the Board
of Education of Chatham county aud urge
upon them the expediency and propriety of
placing the high schools in their charge on
a perfectly self-sastaioing basis by charging
a tuition from each pupil in sufficient
amount to secure said end at once.
Aldermao Wiliink inquired if the high
schco.s did not already exact tuition fees.
The Mayor—They do, bat the amount
does not render them self-supporting.
Alderman Parse—The object of tho
resolution is to maintain the schools; if the
high schools are not made self-sustaining,
there will have to be a reduction in the
number of the lower schools.
The resolution Deing put ou its passage,
was adopted.
By finance Committee—
Msolttd, That this Board ofCoucoil, rec
ognizing in the fullest extent its obligations
to the bondholders and other creditors of
the city, and desiring to meet punctually its
obligation?, but from circumstances beyond
its control, first from the nnaneial de
pression following and consequent upon
the terrible epidemic from which we have
just mprged, and from the antagonistic pe
tition of many of our citizens against the
collection of past due taxes, finds itself
UDable to pay over the counter of its
treasury currency for the past doe.
and the connons coming du e upon ifie
first of February proximo, ana fully
recognizing the impossibility of keeping
the machinery of the corporation in motion
if nothing bat the past due coupons of the
city flow into the treasury;
Be it therefore resolved, That for the taxes
and licenses for 1877 the Treasurer is hereby
directed to receive only the currency of the
United State?, but for all taxes of the year
1876, and for all other pist dne taxes of pre-
i vious years, the Treasurer is directed to re-
! ceive the past due coupons of the city, ex
cept for taxes now in litigation and’con
tinued, and which the city are obliged to
force to judgment.
Alderman Waring asked that the Corpora •
tion Attorney’s opinion on this matter be
read, and then moved that the resolution
be adopted, and that the opinion of the
City Atturney bespread upon the minutes
in connection therewith.
Alderman Ti.-ou had no objection to the
proposed motion.
Alderman Purse perceived no necessity
for this action.
Alderman Waling rejoined that they were
sitting as the representatives of the peode,
and he thought it best to let the people see
what they were doing. He considered it a
duty to show some regard for the feelings
of those who were affected by this
action, and his only object in asking
that the opinion of the Corporation Attor
ney be published and spread ou the min
utes, was to show the holders of these
coupons that the Council was legally forti
fied in the action they were taking.
The Mayor requested that the motion be
reduced to writing, whereupon Alderman
Waring presented the following resolution,
which wag seconded :
Resolced, That the resolution he adopted,
• nd that the opinion of the City Attorney in
reference thereto be spread noon the
minutes.
Alderman Hamilton, as a member of the
Finance Committee, opposed the resolution.
He saw no necessity for giving
the Corporation Attorney’s opinion to the
public. The opinion had been sought by
the Finance Committee for their
own guidance. He thought the reso
lutions presented by the committee
were sufficiently explicit, and was as urgent
an appeal as could be presented to the
public. It represented in plain language
the actual condition of the city, and was a
stronger appeal than the opinion of a
lawyer.
The question was called on Alderman
Waring’s resolution and it was lost.
The resolutions of the Finance Committee
were then put and adopted.
By Alderman Waring—
Resolved, That the City Attorhey be in
structed to submit a written legal opinion
to this Council, at the next regular meet
ing, as to the validity and binding effect of
the endorsement of the city placed upon
certain bonds of the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad, which said bonds
are rar idly approaching maturity withoat
reasonable provision for their payment by
the said the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad; also
as to the claim which this city may have
upon the property of the Atlantic aud Gulf
Railroad, and the dignity and priority of
such claim, if there ho any.
Alderman Johnston thought this reso
lution rather premature, and he was
of the opinion that no action was necessary
until the matter was forced upon their at
tention. So far as the coupons were con
cerned he thought it would bo but a few
days more now before they would have to
cousid r the subject.
Alderman Purse also thought action at
this juncture inadvisable, inasmuch as there
was a threatened suit against the city, and
further, that the Finance Committeo had
the matter under careful consideration, and
would call into requisition the services of
the Corporation Attorney when necessary.
Alderman Waring thought the matter of
too great importance to be entirely in
the hands of the committee. The entire
Board should take it coder consideration. If
the statements he had heard were correct
the road would he sold at an early day, aud
it was extremely important to know if the
endorsement ot the city on these bonds was
good aud if she would have to pay the
amount, over $300,000. Hu desired to know
for persona; guidance whether the city had
a claim on the road, and if so what it was.
There were many who believed the city’s
endorsement not legal, aud in justice
to them and to the community in gen
eral he inclined to the obtaining of the
opinion of the Corporation Attorney on the
sdbject.
The question being called, the resolution
was put before the meeting and was lost.
By the Finance Committee—
Resolved, That the Chairman of each
committeo examine the payments in their
respective departments for the past year,
aud that a budget of the expenses for the
current year be compiled. Adopted.
By the Finance Committee—
Resolved, That the Mayor bo requested to
convene the members of tho board (as a
committeo of the whole) at an early day,
and have before them all the city officers
and heads of departments, for a better un
derstandiDg of the workiug organization
and system of the city government. Adop
ted.

Savannah, Ga., January 24,1877.—Eddor
Morning News: My attention has been
called to a paragraph in your letter from
Atlanta, published on the 20th instant,
stating that I went to the meeting of the
Republican State Central Committee, which
wa3 recently held to investigate charges
against me, with my pocket fall of proxies
to vote in and preside over the investiga
tion. As this statement does me injustice,
I desire to say that I did not have my
pocket full of proxies, that I did not vote iu
the case at all, aud that I did not preside
dnriug the investigation. Colonel E. C.
Wade was called to tho chair, and then
elected Chairman pro tem. In tho Atlanta
Constitution of the 14th instant you will find
a reasonably fair synopsis of the action of
the committee. It shows that my accusers
appeared, themselves named three gentle
men to form a sub-committee to investigate
the charges (who were accepted by the
general committee), and theu refused to
appear before them. The following from
the article in the Constitution i& the sum
ming up of the matter:
“ihe sub-committee having failed to in
duce Mr. J. L. Conley and others to appear
before them, so reported, stating*that there
was no evidence before them against Mr.
Bryant, that In their judgment there was
nothing which he was called upon to answer,
and that the action of his accusers was
equivalent to an abandoment of thf-ir case.”
Very respectfully, J. E. Bryant.
