The MiiiHlrclN LaM Night—A Grand
Sucre**.
Simmons, Slocum A: Sweatnam’s Min
strels made their first appearance in Savan
nah last night to a large audience, the pres
ence of numerous ladies being partieularly
noticeable. The programme was a most
entertaining one, and embraced a variety of
songs, sketches, burlesques and specialties.
The first part was particularly pleasing, the
quartette possessing remarkably fine voices,
and all the songs were capitally rendered.
“The Knot of Blue and Grey,” by C. F.Shat-
tuck, “Rockand Roll Dem,” by Billy Sweat-
nam, and “Dorkin’s Night,” by Fred Waltz,
were finely sung and loudly encored. The
“Rose of Killamey” was most exquisitely
sung and elicited enthusiastic plaudits,
whilst “Don’t Get Weary,” by Lew Sim
mons, brought down the house. Sweatnam
was somewhat hoarse, but his unique man
ners tickled the risibilities of the audience
and compensated in a slight degree for this
drawback, as it w ere.
The jokes and dialogues were fresh and
new, with plenty of pungent wit and devoid
of all indelicacy. Mr. E. N. Slocum, the
middle man, is one of the best interlocutors
we have seen on t he stage, and in his special
ties he proved himself a clever actor. The
“Parade of the Colored Police” was original,
and well given, but the hit of the evening,
in the special line, was the “Telephone,”
which was simply immense. Goss and Fox
are. we may say, inimitable in their sketches,
and Lew Simmons’ original specialties en
title him to the highest praise and gained
for him last evening many admirers, who
Were greatly entertained. The Excelsior
Quartette, Shattuck, Waltz, Kelly and Ste
vens, favored the house with some choice
selections, which drew forth appreciative
applause. The entertainment, which
was one of the best minstrel performances
ever given in this city, closed with a ludic
rous extravaganza, entitled “ Other Peo
ple’s Children.” We must not omit to men
tion Eddie Fox in his great violin solo, with
imitations, which was truly a feature.
We can commend the company as well
worth seeing. It is composed of eighteen
artists, all good in their line, and deserving
the success they have earned. They give
their farewell performance to-night, and we
advise those who wish to have a pleasant
evening to attend.
Races at Thunderbolt.
There was a large attendance at the Thun
derbolt Park course yesterday afternoon to
witness the trotting race, mile heats, for a
purse of $100, the first horse to receive $60,
the second horse $40. The racing was good
and the result was as follows, the broken
heats extending the sport until nearly dark.
The entries were as follows ;
M. ,J. Doyle entered s. rn. Wild Irish Girl.
P. Somers entered b. m. Maud.
J. A. Chambers entered s. h. Hickory Jack.
Bui two horses put in appearance, Maud
and the Girl. The following named gentle
men were selected as judges : Messrs. G. W,
Hussey, Jno. Locklinand M. M. Sullivan. On
drawing for position Maud won the pole.
Everything being in readiness the horses were
called up for the first heat, and got the word
to a good start. The heat was closely con
tested throughout, Maud winning in 3:01,
In this heat the Girl lost one shoe and the
race was postponed until a smith came from
the city to put another one on.
Second Ileat—After one false start the
word was given, the horses trotting well to
gether for the first half mile. In the last
half the Girl gave her opponent the go by,
winning the heat in 3:03%.
Third heat resulted the same as the second.
Fourth Jleat—When the word was given
Maud was a length ahead, the position she
kept throughout the heat. Time 2:59#.
Each horse won two heats and dark com
ing on, the owners were consulted as to con
tinuing the race or postponing until to
day, The owners being unable to agree,
the judge sent out the patrol judge and
ordered the horses to get ready for the
final heat. This was the most elosely con
tested of any of the heats in the race, the
horses trotting side by side for nearly the
whole mile, lu coming up to the home
stretch the Girl gave her opponent the go
bv, winning the heat in 2:58, thereby win
ning the race.
On an In*pcctin!£ Tour.
Gen. Hancock left the city yesterday at
nine a. m., on the United States steamer Dis
cover, to inspect Forts Jackson and Pulaski.
He was accompanied by our fellow-citizen,
Capt. W. W. Paine, Majors Mitchell and
Andrews, and Capt. Post of the United
States Army, and Col. Atkins, Collector of
the port. His Honor the Mayor was invited,
but his official duties prevented him from
joining the party. Gen. Hancock expressed
himself pleased "with the works, and the im
provements, both of the fortifications and
of the river channel, and spoke of the beau
ty and the thriving appearance of our city,
and predicted a great future for Savannah.
He left for Washington last night.

Sunday School Temperance Concert.
The Sabbath school temperance concert at
the Congregationalist Church (colored), on
Sunday night last, was a grand success.
There were sixty-seven different parts per
formed. The music was excellent and the
recitations were well rendered. The first
declamation gave President Lincoln’s views
on temperance. The recitatious were mostly
from the Bible, giving the biblical authori
ties on temperance. The exercises were lis
tened to with marked attention, though the
house was crowded in every part, the seats
full and all the standing room occupied.

THE SHAMROCK.
Celebration of St. Patrick's Day.
The Parade—Oration at the Theatre
—Social Reunion—Tlie Hibernian**
Anniversary Banquet.
The anniversary of St. Patrick's day hav
ing fallen on Sunday, the event was cele
brated yesterday with the usual eclat by
our warm-hearted Irish fellow-citizens.
THE HIBERNIAN' SOCIETY
held their sixty-sixth anniversary meeting
at the Marshall House at 9 o'clock in the
morning, Captain John McMahon, President,
in the chair, and a large number of members
present.
The usual business on such occasions was
transacted. W. Grayson Maun, Esq., Chair
man of the Committee on Officers for the
ensuing year, reported that the President
and Vice President had requested that they
be not nominated, but that the committee
felt their places could not be better
filled, and, therefore, reported the following
named gentlemen as officers for re-election:
John McMahon, President.
John Foley, Vice President.
John Ryan, Treasurer.
M. T. Quinan, Recording Secretary.
D. O’Connor, Jr., Corresponding Secretary.
J. McCrohan, Standard Bearer.
They were unanimously elected.
Messrs. P. Kehoe and Felix 3. Prender-
gast were admitted as members.
Vice President John Foley was instructed
to ascertain why no attention had been paid
to the grave of Hon. John J. Kelly, the for
mer President, and who had made provision
for a monument in his will. The various
societies who had received property under
the will had contributed toward the object,
but the executor or administrator had failed
so far to do anything.
The society then took a recess until 11
o’clock, when they assembled on South Broad
street.
IRISH JASPER GREENS.
This splendid corps, under command of
Capt. John Flannery, assembled at their
rendezvous about ten o'clock, and made a
short parade through the streets. They had
out about fifty men, and made a very fine
appearance, their excellent marching on the
Bay being particularly commented upon.
After the parade they proceeded to South
Broad street to escort the societies to the
Theatre.
WORKINGMEN’S BENEVOLENT SOCIETY
composed of the hard working, industrious
sons of toil, made a. very fine parade, hav
ing in ranks nearly one hundred and fifty
members.
THE PROCESSION
was formed on South Broad street, the Jas
per Greens acting as escort, when the liue
of march was taken up South Broad to Bull,
to Hull, to the Theatre.
THE DEMONSTRATION.
considering the fact that several of the
large societies being religious in their char
acter, and having observed the day on Sun
day, did not participate, was most credit
able and imposing. The streets were
thronged with people, and the familiar sprig
of green was everywhere to be seen. From
the Morning News cupola floated proudly
the mammoth flag of Ireland, whilst green
Hags were displayed from the Marshall
House and other places, and Ludden &
Bates had a full line of bunting
thrown across Whitaker street from their
building. The weather was charming, and
no finer day could have been desired for the
celebration, i Everyone seemed in jovial
humor, and the desire appeared general to
have a good time.
Around the Theatre a large crowd had
collected some time before tne opening of
the doors, and before the societies had
reached the ground the entire interior, ex
cept that portion reserved for the societies,
was occupied. On the arrival of the Socie
ties, they filed in regularly and in order, and
took the" seats in the parquette.
ON THE STAGE
the flags of the Greens and the Hibernians
were planted at opposite corners, and seats
were arranged in a circle for the Presidents
and officers of the societies and the Greens,
the orator and the invited guests. Among
those on the stage we noticed Rev. Mr. Har
ley and Mayor Wheaton. The Working
men’s Society were accompanied by the Hi
bernian Brass Band, and the Hibernian 8*-
ciety by the Savannah Volunteer Guards
Band, who also occupied seats in the par
quette.
After the large audience had been seated
and order secured, W. Grayson Mann, Esq.,
advanced and in a few remarks appropriate
to the occasion, introduced in well merited
and complimentary terms the talented
orator of the day, P. W. Meldrim, Esq.,
whose rising in response was the signal for
the most vociferous applause.
When the noise had subsided, Mr. Mel
drim, whom we regretted to observe was
suffering from a severe cold and indisposi
tion, stepped forward and spoke as follows:
THE ORATION—IRELAND IN AMERICA.
Ladies and Gentlemen: To-day the guardian
spirit of Ireland sits on Tara’s Hill bearing
in her hand Erin’s harp with the green im
mortal shamrock crowned. From those
harp strings, with the rising of the sun,
sweet strains of music come across the
waters, striking upon the hearts of Irishmen
and the sons of Irishmen and awakening
responsive echoes wherever the foot of man
imprints the solid earth or the white sail
bounds o’er the moving sea.
Attracted by that silent music which
touches not the ear but the heart, the sons
and daughters of Ireland have gathered here
to-day to do honor to our Patron Saint and
to the land we love. [Applause.]
It has been said that passing clouds take
shape from the surface of the earth over
which they pass. Certainly it is that the
physical peculiarities of a country enter
largely into the formation of the character
of the people who dwell therein. No land
is more varied than Ireland. From Gal
way Bay to the Hill of Howth; from the
Giants Causeway to Cape Clear; from the
Round Towers, hoary and venerable with
the learning and civilization of pre-^toric
Erin, to the bogs humid and reeking with
the squalid misery and enforced iguoranee
of modern Ireland; from Tara’s Hill glori
ous in royalty, liberty and religion, to the
sweet Vale of Avoea, “in whose bosom the
bright waters meet,” all is variety. The
Irish people, made up of the Celts, the
Phoenicians, the Milesians, the Danes and
the Saxons, are as varied as the land they
inhabit. From a climate salubrious and
healthy they received strength, and from
an ancestry who taught even the Roman
legions to respect them, they inherited
courage. Their magnificent physical devel
opment gave to them a restless energy, mak
ing them the quick, impulsive, versatile,
reckless,extravagant, fun-loving, dare-devil,
generous, brave aud fraternal people that
they are : loving a fight for the sake of a
tight, fighting with the Dane, the Saxon and
with each other; crimsoning every wave
under every flag, dyeing every field in even-
cause, Irish courage has resplendently shone
wherever glory has been won. [Loud ap-
plause.J
The Irishman is no metaphysician : his
quarrels are settled by blows, not words :
he is no skeptic, he answers all doubts by
the fidelity of his faith.
The Irish character is intensely human,
and the Irish mind strongly imaginative,
hence, her literature is distinguished by the
pathos of Stern, the tenderness of Gold
smith, the humor of Swift, the beauty of
Moore, the wit of Curran, the invective of
Grattan, the eloquence of Burke, the inde
pendence of O’Connell, and the heroic de
votion of Emmet. [Cheers.)
A people like the Irish are naturally tur-
buleut. The yoke of the Saxon goaded them
to desperation; stringent measures enacted
for the extinction of nationality drove thetfi
to excesses. These excesses but afforded
pretexts for further persecutions, and thus
persecuted, they became dwellers in every
land, tilling the "armies of Europe and writ
ing the names of Lacy and Brown among
the Marshals of Russia, Nugeut and Kava-
naugh among the proudest nobles of Aus
tria, O'Reilly and O’Donnell among the
haughtiest grandees of Spain, Sarsfield and
Clare among the foremost knights of the
chivalry of France, and McMahon, states
man and soldier President of the French !
The nationality of Ireland had become ex
tinct, and her sons were wanderers in every
clime, when above the western horizon a
new land rose as from the stroke of the en
chanter’s wand ! Here were broad rivers
and boundless forests; here were fertile
plains and lofty mountains; here, separated
by the breadth aud depth of ocean from the
land by tvranny accursed, the Irishman
made his Lome." True to his uational love
of liberty, which tyranny could not extin
guish, true to his high-born cour
age, wkich defeat could not dis
honor, he entered with zeal into the
cause of liberty, and at Mecklenburg, a vear
before independence was declared at Phila
delphia, bade defiance to England’s power,
and the standard of freedom raised. In the
convention which assembled at Philadel
pbia and declared that “these United colo
nies, were and of right ought to be free and
independent States",” we find appended to
that declaration the names of Smith, Mc
Kean, Taylor, Thornton, Read, Lynch, Car-
roll and Rutledge. Such was the part that
Irishmen played in the halls of colonial leg
islation. The part that Irishmen play on
the field of battle is but one part, that of the
hero. [Loud applause.]
No less than sixteen thousand Irishmen
fought for American independence, among
whom were Montgomery, Jasper, Barry,
Sullivan aud Knox. From the heights of
Quebec to the plains of Savannah, Irish
blood was shed for American freedom. No
death was more lamented, none more glori
ous, than that of James Montgomery.
Ih the full flush of manly health and
strength, superbly educated, elegantly pol
ished and courteously chivairic, he gave his
sword and his life to the cause of independ
ence. And here, on this verv spot nearly
one hundred years ago another Irish hero,
poor, uneducated, rude and rough, gave too
his life, this land to save.
• • T * as amidst a scene of blood,
Oi? a bright autumnal day.
When misfortune, like a flood.
Swept our fairest hopes aw«S
T«K on Savannah's plain.
On the spot we love so well,
Amid heaps of gallant slain.
'lhat the daring Jasper felL
- He had borne him in the fight
Line a soldier in his prime-
Lik*- a bol-1 and stalwart knight
Of the glorious olden time;
And unharmed by sabre blow.
And untouehed by leaden ball.
He had battled with the foe
Till he heard the trumpet's calL
• But he turned him at the sound,
For he knew the fight was o’er;
That in vain on freedom’s ground.
Had her children shed their gore.
•• But his banner caught his eye.
As it trailed upon the dust:
And he saw his comrade die,
Eire he yield up his trust.
•To the rescue !* loud he cried:
‘To the rescue, gallant men I*—
And he dashed into the tide
Of the battle stream again.
•• And then fierce the contest rose
O'er its field of "broidered gold.
And the blood of friends and foes
Stained alike its silken fold:
But, unheeding wound and blow.
He has snatched it midst the strife-
He has borne that flag away.
But its ransom is his life.
* • * • *
•• It was thus that Jasper fell,
Neath that bright autumnal sky
Has a stone been reared to tell
Where he laid him down to die •
To the rescue, spirits bold!
To the rescue, gallant men'
Let the marble page unfold
All his daring deeds again.
[This recital called forth the most enthu
siastic applause and it was some time before
silence could be obtained.]
American independence was won and the
Irishman found here a home where he en
joyed the fruits of his labor and rose
to influence, wealth and power, by the
strength that in him was. A great coun
try had to be built up, a country whose
boundaries were oceans, whose resources
were infinite, whose future was to eclipse
the most glorious records of the past.
But national prosperity, like individual
wealth, is based on labor, and this
labor the Irish supplied. The lines
of railway that net this land, that bind
ocean to ocean, mountain to sea, are
laid upon thousands and ten thousands of
Irish sleepers. The Irish in America have a
long pedigree of toil, but there is a no
bility in labor. The man who carried the
hod yesterday may own the building to
morrow, and he will own it, for patient en
durance is god-like, and labor, like virtue,
brings its reward. Go, see whose 6turdy
arm it is that swings the ponderous sledge,
whose steady eye, brave heart and true hand
drives the steam-horse on his iron track.
Go into the busy marts of trade and see
whose brawny shoulders bear the burdens,
whose energy and intelligence- directs the
course of commerce. Turn to the great
metropolis of this country, and see who
rose highest as a merchant prince, a man
whose business had assumed such vast pro
portions that rather than relinquish it, he
sacrificed the high office of Treasurer of
these United States. Turn to the West, go
to those mines whose hidden wealth has
surpassed the fabled riches of the East, and
there we find one who, thirty years ago, a
penniless Irish boy, is now the richest of
earth. Before his energy and enterprise the
solid rook has melted, pouring into his lap
the purest silver, until his wealth has reached
the incredible sum of two hundred and
seventy-five millions of dollars! But why
need we go from our own home to pre
sent illustrations of Irish enterprise and
energy ? Look around you to-day in
the mechanic art6, in general business,
in timber, in cotton, in shipping, in banking,
the leading men are Irishmen. I say it with
no disparagement to others, but I repeat it in
the language of soberness and truth, that
amid the disasters of commerce, the Irish
have stood as though their business were
founded on a solid rock. The cause and the
sole cause of their success have been the na
tive energy, enterprise and industry that
characterize them as a people. Yes, my
friends, courage and labor do succeed. Oh !
if our beautiful home had but more brave
hearts and toiling hands, she would not only
be a queen in beauty, but a queeu in influ
ence, wealth and power!
It is not onyl, however, in physical labor
and in those departments of life which chiefly
require energy and tact that the Irishman in
America has succeeded—for in the learned
professions he has won high honor. Notably
is this the case in the law. On the criminal
side of it, where life and liberty are involv
ed, pre-eminent among those whose genius
like a glory shone, was Brady; and on the
civil side, through its most tortuous intrica
cies, unto the very truth itself, the intellect
of O’Conor shed a clear and steady light.
[Applause.]
Ramsay in history and Calhoun in states
manship have left* as deep an impress on
the people and government of this country
as it is possible for men to do.
Strikingly in contrast with the principles
taught by Calhoun was the position assumed
by Jackson—Jackson, twice President of
these United States—Jackson, the hero of
New Orleans. In the war of 1812 as in the
war of the Revolution, Irishmen were found
in the fore front of battle, on flood aud field,
sealing with their blood their devotion to
the land of their adoption. In later days,
when the Halls of the Montezumas echoed
to the tread of the soldiers of freedom,
Shields, and men who hear my voice to-day,
followed the starry flag through the ehap-
parel into the gates of Mexico. And in
those days that just have swept like meteors
bright and gory, when the Southern Cross
and the Starry Flag were borne in a cause
which either thought was just, the Irishman
in America rallied at the first bugle call to
fight and die for the side he happened to be
on. Into the contest he rushed with the
bravery which is his own. No grander ex
hibition of soldierly discipline or high and
chivairic courage is afforded by either side
in the whole course of the war between the
States than the charge of the Irish Brigade
at Fredericksburg. McClellan had been re
moved—Burnside was in command. A mag
nificent army had been gathered. Long
months of preparation preceded the forward
movement. The cry was “On to Richmond!”
The world was a spectator. The Rappa
hannock is bridged, and across the plain to
ward that low stone fence on the brow of
yonder hill, as if on dress parade, march the
Irish Brigade. See how still! Ominous of
the coming storm ! It bursts ! The light
nings of a thousand guns flash, and the
thunder of the dread artillery rolls ! The
Irish Brigade has melted like the snow on
those Virginia hills which looked down on
the dead and the dying. Again and again
they form, advance and reel, and reeling die,
defeated yet victorious, for they won and
received, even from their foes, the laurel
crown. It has thus ever been with Irish
men, truer to every cause than their own.
As the Irish Brigade perished at Fredericks
burg, fighting for the flag of the Union, so
another fell at Franklin, ’neath the shadow
of the conquered banner. [Thuuderiug ap
plause.]

“ I speak of one whose glory shone
Like a meteor bright and grand.
Who gave his name to the trump of fame.
And liis blood to a generous land:
The festive toast.
The soldiers' boast,
The type of a martial age—
The foe of wrong.
The soul of song.
And the light of a future page.
“ The base grew bold for power and gold.
The vain through fear of scorn;
The good wax strong in their hate of wrong—
But he was a warrior born.
From his eagle glance and stern ‘Advance!’
And his action swift as thought.
The rank and file of his own fair Isle
Their courage electric caught.
As the whirlwind's path
Shows its fiercest wrath
Througlrthe lordliest forest pines.
So the deepest wave
Of the fallen brave
Told where Cleburne crossed their lines.
“ On Richmond's plain his captive tram
Outnumbered the lost he led.
And he won his stars in the field of Mars
Where the glorious Sidney bled!
’Twas his to cope while a ray of hope
Illum’d his flag—and then.
’Twas his to die, while that flag flew high.
In the van of chivairic men.
Nor a braver host
Could Erin boast.
Nor than he a more gallant knight
Since the peel 1* .js Hugh
Crossed the Avon dh‘\
And Baynal’s host a flight.
“ There were eyes afar that watched your star.
As it rose Mgrh the Southern Cross; [sped.
There were hearts that bled when its course was
And Old Ireland felt your loss.
While her flowers shall blow, or her waters flow
Through Shannon. Suir and Lee,
The patriot's song shall roll along
Their winding waves for thee!
And they'll tell with pride
How Cleburne died
In the land of the free and brave:
How his sword of might
Was a beam of light.
Though it led to an exile’s gr?ve.”
[The applause which followed at the
recital of these beautiful lines rendered it
impossible for the speaker to proceed for
some moments.]
I have now briefly outlined Irish effort in
America and will not, for fear of wearying
you. attempt to trace in its results the fact
that there are now in the United States
two millions of native Irish and millions of
Irish descent. Nor will I attempt to show how
far there has entered into the character of
the American people, the splendid physique,
the restless energy,the dauntless courage, the
sparkling wit, the quaint humor, the glow
ing eloquence—yes, and the intemperance
and want of education of the Irish people.
Do such words as intemperance and want of
education sound harshly on an occasion like
this ? If they do, then they have done that
which I intended them to do. The curse
resting upon Ireland in America has been
two-fold, that of intemperance and the want
of education.
As an Irishman, 1 claim therighlof speak
ing to Irishmen, not words of Idle compli
ment, but words of earnestness and truth.
Di«l I shrink from telling you what I believe
to be our duty to Ireland, I would be un
worthy of the honor you have done me. I
care not what may be vour strength of mind
or body, what your energy, enterprise and
industry, what the learning" and civilization
of pre-historie Ireland, what the melody of
her poets, the eloquence of her orators,"the
prowess of her warriors, if we in this coun
try fail in education aud in sobriety, we are
foes to good government and traitors to Ire
land. “England lost America by Ireland,”
and England has lost Ireland by America,
for the hope expressed by Benjamin
Franklin in 1788, that, “We trtist the
liberation of your country has been
effected in America,” has been almost
realized in 1878, by the abolition of
the penal laws against education, the re
moval of Catholic disabilities, the obtaining
of the elective franchise, the enactment of
the land act, and the dis-establishment of
the Protestant Church in Ireland. The dif
ference between Old and New Ireland is well
represented by Mitchell driven in exile from
Ireland to America, and Mitchell recalled
from America to Ireland to take his seat
in the Parliament of Great Britain and Ire
land. All this has been the outgrowth of
liberty in America. A sovereignty of right
over force, of intelligence over prejudice,
of people over government, has been estab
lished. The voice that sounded in the
forests of America was echoed in the palaces
of Versailles. Poland heard the cry and
placed her lance in rest. Ireland's harp
sounded a fierce, wild note of battle. Greece
waked from her long sleep and was living
Greece no more. Venice, from her hundred
isles, tore down the Austrian eagle aud the
winged lion reared o'er her marble piles.
Hungary, brave Hungary, caught the inspi
ration and rushed to arms. All despotic
thrones shookand trembled—some fell. To
day there are no unlimited monarchies in
Europe, for while monarchial in form, they
are republican in substance: the throne is but
a shadow, the real sovereignty—the power
behind the throne—is in the "people. This
power hasbeen obtained by the active living
force of public opinion, which opinion comes
and can only come from the education of the
people. In" every lettef of the alphabet
there lives a power more enduring than the
armies of Kings or the thunders of Pontiffs.
The day is past when mere physical force
governs. [Applause.]
The world is controlled by brain, not
muscle. Opinion governs, not the sword.
Arts conquer where arms fail. Liberty on
the Potomac is felt on the banks of the
Thames and Seine, yea, on the banks of the
Liffey. Rising, then, above creed aud party,
practicing habits of sobriety, educating the
young, living virtuously, keeping faith pri
vately and politically, let us do our duty,
our whole duty to America, and then will
we be doing our noblest duty to Ireland,
for doing our duty to Ireland con
sists in doing our duty to America. To do
our duty to America the dissensions and
prejudices of the old country must be ban
ished. Happily they are dying; may they
soon die and never live again! Let us re
member that we are Irishmen, whether we
wear the Orange or the Green: whether we
kneel at Protestant altar or bow at Cath
olic shrine. Let us remember that
“The same good soil sustaining both.
Maxes both united flourish;
But cannot give the Orange growth.
And cease the Green to nourish.
Then let the Orange lily be
Thy badge, my patriot brother;
The everlasting Green for me.
And we for one another.”
[Loud applause.]
During the delivery of the oration the fine
brass band of Simmons, Slocums «fc Sweat
nam’s Minstrels made their appearance at,
the stage door of the Theatre, aud were
quietly escorted to the seats at the
rear ’ of the stage, and, at the
conclusion of the address, compli
mented the orator by playing “St. Pat
rick’s Day in the Morning,” and the “Wick
low Wedding,” which occasioned the most
enthusiastic excitement among the audi
ence.
Mr. J. J. McGowan then proposed three
cheers for the orator of the. day, which were
given with a hearty good will, after which
“Dixie” was played by one of the bands in
the parquette, and the audience dispensed.
The societies formed outside of the Thea
tre. and marched to positions around the
first section of Chippewa square, in which
the Jasper Greens had been drawn up in
line to fire the usual
SALUTE IN HONOR OF THE DAY.
Three volleys were fired in rapid succes
sion, and in a manner that reflected the
highest credit upon the corps. On all sides
were heard complimentary remarks upon the
excellent firing. After the salute the socie
ties passed alternately in review of each
other, and the Workingmen’s Benevo
lent Society proceeded to their
hail and were dismissed. The Jaspers
eseorted the Hibernians to the Marshall
House, where they partook of sr lunch and
enjoyed a social reunion, and** then pro
ceeded to their hall, where a mammoth
bowl of punch was discussed, speeches
made and toasts given, aud an hour or two
most pleasantly passed, when they sepa-
| rated.
ANNIVERSARY BANQUET OF THE HIBERNIANS.
In the evening at eight o’clock the mem
bers of the Hibernian" Society and their in
vited guests, assembled at the Marshall
House to partake of their anniversary din
ner, which was in truth a most magnificent
banquet.
Three long tables were arranged in the
dining room, which were handsomely deco
rated (as was also the room), aud which
groaned beneath fhe weight of the sub
stantial aud luxuries so temptingly dis
played upon them.
At eight o’clock the society and then-
guests entered the room and took their
seats. President McMahon presided at the
centre table, with Judge H. B. Tompkins on
his right, Colonel Screven on his left and
other invited guests around, among them
Mayor Wheaton and Charles Gasman, Esq.,
President of the German Friendly Society.
At the welcome of the President, the so
ciety and their guests proceeded to discuss
with zest the good things so bountifully
spread before them, and for some time only
the murmur of voices in social conversation
and the clang of knives and folks was heard.
About nine aud a half o’clock the compa
ny were called to order by the President an
nouncing the
REGULAR TOASTS,
I 1 which were read by Mr. M. T. Quinan
from the head of the table and Mr. Dennis
O'Connor from the foot, the “right suppor
ter” of Vice President Foley, alternately,
I and in the following order :
| “At. JiUrick's Day"—A day on which, lay
ing aside all question of creed, good men
meet to do homage to virtue, valor and truth.
Response by Mr. Wm. Grayson Mann,
who, commenting on the sentiment of the
toast, referred to the influence and example
of St. Patrick, and that although fifteen cen
turies had elapsed since his great work was
completed in Ireland, his name had grown
in the remembrance of the people, and now
his fame extended to all quarters of the
globe. The greatness of his work was dwelt
upon, and the civilization of Ireland he de
clared was the result of his efforts. Alluding
to the demonstrations annually in honor of
his anniversary, the speaker expressed the
opinion that they had a good effect aud in
time would achieve the full measure of pub
lic liberty to which Ireland ia entitled.
Music—“St. Patrick's Day in the Morning.”
“Ireland 1 ’—The Emerald Isle, ever green
in our hearts, “though lost to sight, to
memory dear.”
Response briefly by Capt. John McMahon,
President of the Society.
Music—“Erin is My Home.”
"His Kxixllency the Governor of Georgia"—
Alfred H. Colquitt, a brave soldier and peer
less gentleman, may he long rule over the
destinies of our noble State, as he does in the
affection of her sons.
Response by Major John O. Ferrill, who
expressed the pleasure he as a Georgian
felt at being called on to respond to a toast
to the Chief Executive of the State, a man
who was distinguished as a soldier aud a citi
zen, and of whose family it might be said,as
it was said of the Johnston's, “they wore
wings upon their spurs,” for truely histoiy
could scarcely furnish better representatives
of chivairic devotion and gallantry than
characterized the Colquitt*. He gave a brief
biographical sketch of the Colquitt family,re
ferring to the glorious career of Col. Colquitt,
and to the no less distinguished services iu
the field of Gen. Colquitt, the Chief Execu
tive. In conclusion he desired to offer a
toast to one whom they all honored as a sol
dier, citizen and patriot, but whom he re
gretted to notice was absent—Hon. Rufus
fl Lester, viee-Goveruor of Georgia aud
President of the Senate.
Music—“llail to the Chief.”
“Savannah"—Our beautiful city by the
sea, the home of our adoption.
Response by Capt. George A. Mercer,
who stated in responding to this
toast that considering the presence of
so many distinguished aud talented
young men, it might not be inappropriate
to refer to the condition of Savannah at
present. He might picture Savannah
as she was at her birth and trace her
history to the present day, through all the
trials, tribulations and misfortunes that had
beset her. But this was not an occa
sion for the discussion of busi
ness; it was an occasion when the
feast of reason was relished not so much as
the flow of soul. He would say, how
ever, that no matter whether the present
prostrate condition of Savannah was due to
our misfortune or to our fault, he felt sure
that the warm-hearted Irishmen who had
alwaysstood by her would stand to her to
the last, being inspired by the patriotic
motto of Decatur—“To our country always
if she be right, but if wrong, still to our
dear country.” After reference to the
shamrock and the cypress, and the attach
ment which the Irishmen of Savannah must
always feel towards this city, near whose
confines lay sleeping the last sleep hundreds
of their children, their kiudred and their
heroes, among whom he would mention
a name of which every Irishman should be
proud, he closed with expressing the hope
that the time would come when a suitable
monument would be raised to the Irish hero.
Sergeant Jasper.
Music—“Dixie.”
"The Brave Soldier* of the Gray and the
Blue"—The noblest blood of our country
men has helped to make your histoiy.
Response by Gen. R. H. Anderson, who
remarked that"as foreign as was public speak
ing to the profession of arms.yet he could but
express his thanks for the opportunity to re
spond to‘this toast, even if he had to
express his feelings on the subject in the
blunt manner oi a soldier. Alluding to the
Freemasonry which existed among soldiers,
the outgrowth of their common buffering,
hardship and peril, he said that prejudice
was ignored, and the true soldier was
not prejudiced by the color of blue or gray,
and could admire with veneration the silent
marble erected to commemorate valor, in the
national cemeteries or in the final resting
place of the Confederates. The era of mutual
forgiveness had dawned, and no true Irish
heart would fail to throb with pride at the
recollections of valor displayed by their
countrymen, no matter what the uniform he
might have chanced to wear, and could
equally rejoice in the renown of Meagher or
Cleburne. The blue may be the bright hued
color of victory and power, and the grav but
the sober color of defeat, but it should be
remembered that the brightest blue sky is
oft times dimmed by the gray clouds and,
mingling together, soon vanish away, reveal
ing nothing but the bright, brilliant stars.
Music—“Bold Soldier Boy.”
“The Orator of the Day"—May his future
be as bright as his fondest hopes would
wish.
Response by P. W. Meldrim, Esq.,
who, referring"to the gratification afforded
him by the day and the occasion, remarked
that it was not because of the crude, ill-
prepared and worse delivered effort of the
morning, whieh had not merited the kind
commendations it had received, but because
it aided in bringing him into a closer com
munion with the men of his own race.
Words would but feebly express
the emotions of his heart,
and their sweetest music would be but dis
cord in the utterance of the deep feelings
of gratitude he felt for the kindness and
consideration shown him. He trusted that
his future life and hot words to-night
would attest his deep appreciation, and
closed his remarks with a poetical sentiment
apropos of his desires.
Music—“Garry Owen.”
At this point Mr. Collins proposed to
vary the entertainment bv a song, which,
being approved, Mr. Frank E. Rebarer was
called on and sang with fine effect “The
Last Rose of Summer.’’
“Daniel O'GmtteJT'—Whose genius made
the first rent in the chains of British tyranny.
This toast was responded to at some
length by Gen. Henry C. Wayne, who gave
a very interesting description of the life aud
services of the patriot, whom Ireland
knew as the “Great Liberator,” and who
England, realizing that he could not be
moved by bribes or threats, characterized as
the “Great Agitator.” He painted in
fine language the prominent character
istics of O'Connell, whom he showed lived
only for Ireland and Ireland’s good, and re
ferred to the good that he had accomplished.
He closed bv saying the lifted veil has fallen,
the soul of O’Connell is with his God, his
memory is with the hearts of his country
men.
Music—“The Harp that£>nce.”
Mr. McDonough was here called ou, and
sang a song, which was well received.
“The Immortal Emmet''—Whose life was
sacrificed at the altar of his country. May
his epitaph be written in our day.
Response by Mr. T. B. Catherwood, who,
whilst regretting that some one not more
accustomed to public speaking had been
called upon, made a very fine and interest
ing speech, in which he eulogized the patriot
ism and self-sacrifice of Emmet, and declared
that his memory was worthy the reverence
and honor of all men. That his deeds were
no less illustrious and deserving of perpet
ual remembrance because he was unsuccess
ful. He had not met the death of a soldier
on the bloody fields battling for his cause,
but in the shame of the crowded scaffold
he had stepped down into the valley of the
shadow of death for his country’s sake. His
name should be and always will be rever
enced wherever true nobility is appreciated.
He had heard from the men of Stonewall
Jackson and Lee that success is not the
measure by which to gauge the right of peo
ple to independence and liberty. They had
fought and falleu, and yet their cause was
not unjust. Emmet's purpose was right,
and though success did not crown it, yet he
had kept his soul immaculate through all
misfortunes, and his name would ever be
reverenced.
Music—“Wearing of the Green.”
Mr. Moses Coburn was here called upon,
and sang most excellently a very thrilling
descriptive song of a scene on a vesse 1 on
fire at sea, which was loudly applauded.
“ Homan”—Whose virtues and smiles are
the pride of an Irishuiuu, and to guard
which his life is ever at her service.
Mr. Dennis O'Connor was called upon to
respond to this toast, but stated that while
appreciating the honor, he could not reply
at length or do justice to the subject, and
therefore excused himself with proposing a
verv neat tribute to woman.
Music—“The (iirl I Left Behind Me.”
Mr. W. G. Mann, being called upon, sung
“Kathleen Mavoumeen” in excellent style.
**Father Matthew"—By whose labors in the
noble cause of temperance many happy
families have been blessed.
Mr. D. J. Foley being called upon,made a
very happy response to this toast. He said
that eloquent lips had to-night proclaimed
the virtues, the heroism aud the valor of
many distinguished sons of Ireland and
placed the laurel wreath upon their brow,
and he would fain pluck a leaf from
each with which to weave a chaplet
for Father Matthew could he not find one
elsewhere. He then depicted briefly the
career of the great apostle of temperance
and his grand efforts iu the good cause, and
pointed with pride to the fact that now
might be seen in the happy, peaceable, hon
orable homes of Ireland the good that had
followed his teachings and example.
Music—“Home, Sweet Home."
“Our Sister Societies and Invited Guests"—
We bid them a hearty welcome.
Mr. Charles Gasman, President of the Ger
man Friendly Society, was called upon and
responded by stating that he laid no claim
speech making, ana whilst appreciating the
honor of this call, would have to content
himself with offering a toast—“The Hiber
nian and German Friendly Societies—May
their friendship ever remain as green as the
shamrock.”
Music—“You'll Remember Me.”
At this point President McMahon asked
to be allowed to offer a volunteer toast—
“ Our Guests—Vend Mille Falthe—a hundred
thousand welcomes.”
Colonel Screven was loudy called for, and
responded by making a very eloquent and
interesting speech, which was listened to
with great attention. He devoted his re
marks principally to a description of the
physical features of this great country, and,
styling the capital at Washington as the
cosmopolis, drew a pretty allegorical picture
of Columbia looking down from the large
dome over this vast territory, and closed
with a tribute to the energy and industry of
Irishmen in accomplishing all the
great works of internal improvement,
and to the generous hospitality for which
the Irish were characteristic, supplementing
his remarks with this toast: “The Irish
Americans—citizens of a common country
where all nations unite, they have dignified
the great and heroic character of their own
race and illustrated that of the American
people.”
Major John Foley, Vice President, here
interrupted the regular order, stating that it
was his time now, and that he would like to
offer a toast as an offset to the eloquent re
marks of Colonel Screven. He would,
therefore, propose “The Army of the
United States,” aud would eall on Major
Andrews to respond. This elicited loud
appiause. and Major Andrews was brought
to his feet. He was, notwithstanding nis
exclamation that be was no speaker, very
felicitous in hi6 response, and created
considerable merriment by his recital
of army reminiscences in Mexico and the
far West, in which several of those at the
table figured as prominent characters. His
account of the opinion an Indian Chief
expressed of a gallant young officer
stationed in Oregon before the war
(Gen, R. H. Anderson), was quite
amusing, especially the translation.
“He get mighty thirsty on a long march.”
We think after this effort that Major Andrews
will not be justified in “begging off,” as jt
were, when^ called upoq, but will have to re
spond whether there be “a goose” in the
camp or not.
After his remarks, the band played “Star
Spangled Banner.”
Mr. A. Graeffe being called on, sang in
good style a lively sontr that elicited ap
plause.
“7he Mighty Press'’—While free, you.
make tyranny tremble, when fettered "the
people are slaves.
Mr. J. U. Estill, proprietor of the Morn
ing News, was called on to respond to this
toast, and replied by prefatory remarks that
a great deal might be said about the press,
but there was one feature that few appre
ciated and that was the silence of the press;
there were a great many things that
might go in the ’ paper but
did not, Because judgment dictated that
they ought not, and there were many things
which should go in that were overlooked,
so to speak. Disclaiming the intention of
attempting to make a speech, he
stated that he might relate an
incident which could be numbered
among those things that had not yet found
their way into print. He then gave an ac
count of a difficulty on the steamer which
was transporting troops on the Rio
Grande during the Mexican war. Among
those on board was a 8avannah con |
pany. Some disturbance had oc
curred at a landing in which several
soldiers were engaged. The Colonel of
an Illinois regiment, who was also present
with his command, inquired who the dis
turbers were, and the Savannah company,
occupying the deck, were pointed out. He
immediately boarded the steamer, and ap
proaching the young Captain of the Jasper
Greens, demanded his sword. The Captain,
then but a stripling, responded that he
would cross swords with him, but
surrender never. The result was an
engagement in mortal combat, and
the Illinois soldiers perceiving that their
Colonel would soon be placed hors du com-
bat by the gallant young Captain, rushed
forward and bore "their Colonel away in
safety, and then felling the brave young
officer pinned him to the deck with
their bayonets. The Jaspers, seeing
their Captain thus treated dashed forward,
and declaring if there was killing to be
done they would have a hand in it, charged
upon the Illinois regiment, and in less than
fifteen minutes twenty or thirty fell beneath
their well directed blows, or "were pitched
into the river. It was unnecessary for
him to say that the young stripling
Captain was their respected citizen
wVose hair had been whitened by the frost
of many years, and who was here to-night
as President of the Hibernian Society. In
conclusion he would offer the following
toast: “Captain John McMahon. His suc
cess in life, an illustration of what can be
accomplished by industry and integrity.
His example is worthy of "the emulation of
the young men of Savannah.”
Music—“Bonny Blue Flag.’’
Capt. McMahon responded by stating
that the reminiscence which had just been
related by Capt. Estill had grown out of an
unfortunate circumstance, but he would say
here that he had nothin* to regret in con
nection with it and that nis action would be
exactly the same under similar circum
stances. although he was known in Savan
nah as a man of peace and had never had a
quarrel with any one here.
"Dr. R. D. Arnold"—We miss him frotn
our festive boat d. He shall long be remem
bered, by those he has left behind, for the
many sacrifices he has made for the public
good.
This toast was drank standing and in si
lence. after which Judge AY. D. Harden was
called on,and in response delivered a most elo
quent and beautiful eulogy to the generosi
ty* charity and culture of "the distinguished
dead, whose loss a whole city mourned. His
charity was most unostentatious, and was not
restricted by creed or position.aud while his
death may have been his gain, it was most
assuredly our loss. He was one of the few
men whose places cannot be filled, and who
will be ever missed in the community to
whose interest he was so ardently devoted/
Music—**Auld Lang Syne.”
The regular toasts being disposed of, the
President called attention to other business.
Letters were read from the Hon. M. P.
O'Connor, President of the Hibernian Soci
ety, Charleston, S. C.: William Rogers, Esq.,
President of St. Andrew's Society; Alfred
Haywood, Esq., President of St."George's
Society, aud Hon. Rufus E. Lester.
Captain George A. Mercer proposed the
health of Major General W. S. Hancock,
and in response to the call of the President
General R. H. Anderson responded, stating
that an invitation had been extended to
General Hancock to be present, but that
that distinguished soldier was by official du
ties deterred from remaining in the city, and
had left during the afternoon for Charles
ton.
President McMahon gave a toast to Savan
nah, which was replied to by Mayor
Wheaton.
The venerable ex-President of the society,
George B. Cumuiiug, Esq., who was absent
and confined to his house by illness, was the
subject of a beautiful complimentary tribute
from the orator of tMtday, who alluded in
feeling terms to his devotion to the society.
Remarks were made by Messrs. Oraie,
Donelan and others. Songs were sung and
it was a late hour ere the pleasures of the
banquet were brought to a close.

Death from a PInCoI shoe Wound —
Verdict of W ilful murder.
Yesterday afternoon a colored boy named
Allen Green,'living on the Muller place, near
the brick yard, died from the effects of a
pistol shot wound received on Sunday morn
ing, the 10th Inst. The Coroner was notified,
and proceeding to the place, held an inquest.
Edward Brown, Deny Williams and .Mal
colm Jones, colored, were sworn
and examined, and from their evidence
it appeared that Green and Thos. Bacon, an
other colored boy, had been skylarking
around the brick yard ou Sunday morning,
Bacon chasing Green with a piece of board.
After pursuing him some distance down
the road, Bacon drew a seven banel
revolver and fired three times at
Green. The last ball took effect in
the left arm, near the elbow, inflicting a se
rious wound. Green told Bacou that he
had shot him, when the latter replied, “You
are a d—n liar.” Green then pulled off his
coat and showed the wound, when Bacon
left. Green went to the house of Edward
Brown, where he had been staying, and
was confined to bed. Infl&mamtion set
in, and he died from the effects of
the wound yesterday morning. Brown
stated that before Green died he said he
and Bacon had had no trouble. The testi
mony of the other witnesses was merely to
the effect that Bacon had deliberately and
without provocation shot Green.
The jury, composed of colored men, after
consultation, rendered the following verdict:
“VVe the jury find that Allen Green,
colored, came to his death by a pistol shot
wound, inflicted with a pistol iu the hands
of Thomas Bacon, colored, and we consider
it wilful murder.”
A warrant was accordingly issued against
Bacou, who will be held subject to trial.

Accidentally Drowned OH'Tybee,
A special telegram to the Morning News
from Tybee gives information of the drown
ing of the second mate of the Norwegian
bark Kongsbyrd, lying off Tybee, yesterday
afternoon at five o’clock. The mate, whose
name is Jorgen Beckman Jansen, while en
gaged in painting the stem of the vessel,
accidentally lost his balance aud fell
from the staging into the ’water. A
boat was lowered at once, but before
it could reach him he was drowned. Up to
seven o’clock the body had not been recov
ered. The deceased, we understand, was a
good swimmer, but it appears that his ef
forts were of no avail, as he sank in a vety
few minutes. He was a native of Lillesand,
Norway, was about 27 years of age, and be
ing an honest, sober, industrious seaman,
was held in high esteem by Capt. Langfeldt
and the crew.
Knocked Down and Kobbed.
About four o’clock on Sunday morning, a
young man, who was under the influence of
liquor, whilst wandering in the vicinity of
Lamar’s bridge over the canal, was knocked
down by a crowd of negroes, who stripped
him of his clothing and look his watch and
chain and all the money he had, leaving him
lu a half nude condition. He was struck
over the head with some Instrument which
inflicted an ugly wound. He was found
some time afterwards in a semi-unconscious
state by a private watchman in the vicinity,
who secured help and had him carried to
his boarding house. He does not know any
of his assailants, but the detectives have a
suspicion who the parties are, aud will keep
a sharp lookout for them.
The Recent Murdcr-The Deadly
Knife Found.
Yesterday morning Officer Morgan visited
the locality of the recent murder and made
a search of the house occupied by the ne-
gress Eugenia Rawls, with whom John
Johnson was living. The woman was not
to be found, having fled the premises on the
approach of the officer, but under the pillow
on the bed was found the knife with which
it is believed Johnson inflicted the mortal
wound on McDermott and cut George Orr.
We are in possession of some information
in connection with the murder which it is
not advisable to publish at present for rea
sons that are obvious. The officers are
working up the case.
