The Theatre—Engagement of Mrs, Chanfrau. Our theatre-goers are to be congratulated upon the engagement of Mrs. Henrietta Chanfrau, supported by Mr. C. W. Tav- leure’s splendid company of artists, which commences to-morrow evening at the Savan nah Theatre. Mrs. Chanfrau enjoj's a na tional reputatiou. aud as this is her first visit to Savannah we have no doubt from the sale of secured seats already that she will be greeted by large audiences, llur tour through the South up to to-day has been most suc cessful. The Mobile S r ctcx gives the follow ing notice of her first performance in that city: “A brilliant and fashionable audience greeted Mrs. Chaufrail’s first appearance in our city last night. The reputatiou that has preceded this lad}' was fully sustained, and the encomiums of the press of other cities were seen to have been fully merited. “ 'Parted’ is above the general average of society plays, and contains passages of great jiower aud pathos. Especially were we im pressed with the scene where the widow Grace Shirley causes her little child to kneel, and calls down the maledictions of heaven upon those who had ruined its father. “Mrs. Chanfrau possesses the great charm of perfect naturalness. She is not of that school that ‘tears a passion to tatters,’ but impresses her audience far more by her quiet aud dignified demeanor, than any amount of ranting could effect. The sup port is good, and fully up to all the require ments of the plays they represent.” TIse Grand Kxcurslon to Na**au and Havana. The elegant first-class sidewheel steam ship San Jacinto will leave her wharf to day at 12 m. for St. Augustine, Nassau and Havana. As already stated, this is a grand excursion trip and anyone desiring to visit Nassau or Havana cannot find a better opportunity than this. The round tvi£, in cluding all expenses and carriage drives, as per advertisement, is sixty dollars to Nassau and seventy dollars to 1 lavana and return. We learn that a large number of persons arrived by the Juniata aud City of Macon yesterday ei* route to Nassau and Havana, and we hope to *ec Sa vannah well represented. Any one desiring to visit Nassau or Havana. Certainly not a better opportunity than is offered just now ooulu be desired for visiting these cities. Tlie Coueeri Lant Night. The sacred concert given at Armory Hall last night by Prof. -Mallette, assisted b> the leading talent of the city, was a very suc cessful affair. Every seat in the room was occupied, and the audience was composed of many of the best citizens of Savannah. The singing was very fine, and not a selec tion of the programme failed to elicit the most enthusiastic plaudits. We will not at tempt any detailed notice as we would but simply have to commend in strong terms each of the la lies and gentlemen who took part in it. Yy e can, however, pronounce the concert as a Hto*t excellent musical treat, which was very highly enjoyed by those present and which was a credit to Prof. Mal lette aud liis class. Personal. We regret to iearo that Mr. Joseph Bern- hard, of the late firm of Bernhard <fe Kay- tou, will leave for San Francisco on Saturday next, where he proposes to enter into the brokerage and stock business. Mr. Bern- hard has always borne a high reputation in this community as a gentleman and mer chant, and has ranked among our most sa gacious and enterprising business men. He will be accompanied with the wishes of his many friends for his success in the new field to which ne goes. At EhUII’h To-day, 27 Bull Htreet. Savannah Morning News. The Wreck of the Grosvenor.

The sign “For Sale” placed on the front of a house does not mean that the owner is anxious to dispose of the property, but in nine cases out of ten he simply wants to find out how much he can get for it, aud then he proposes to keep it.

YY’e learn there will be a grand excursion from this city to Florida by the City of Bridgeton on Saturday next., March 30, the trip to extend to Palatka aud St. Augustine. We are informed by the manager that the fare for the entire trip, including railroad fare from Tocoi to St. Augustine and return, has been put at the low figure of fifteen dollars, thus enabling ever one who desires to visit the “Land of Flowers” (at this the most pleasant season of the year) to do so without seriously affecting their pockets. The steamer will leave Savannah on Saturday evening at live o’clock, giving excursionists an opportunity of stopping for a few minutes at Doboy, Darien, St. Simou’s, Brunswick, St. Mary's and Fernandina, arriving at Jack sonville on Sunday evening, remaining there until ten o’clock on Monday, arriving at Palatka Monday evening, remaining there until Tuesday morning, leaving Sunday morning, arriving at Tocoi at 12 rn., where a special train over the St. John’s Railroad will meet them and take them to St. Augus tine, where they will remain until 12 m. on Wednesday. Arrangements have been per fected whereby the excursionists will have an opportunity of visiting Fort .Marion and seeing the Indians. Savannah Volunteer Guard*—Ar rangement* lor .Hay Day* The Savannah Volunteer Guards held a special meeting last night to consider iu wliat manner the corps should celebrate their anniversary on the first of May, and to act on such other business as might be pre sented. A communication was received from the Georgia Hussars inviting the corps to join them in a basket picnic at the Hermitage on that day, which was unanimously accepted, and a committee appointed to confer with a committee of the Hussars and make all necessary arrangements for the occasion. A communication was also received from the Savannah Schuetzeu Gescllschaft, invit ing the corps to enter teams to contend for prizes during the Schuetzen Festival which comes off next ni«mtL, which was accepted and left discretionary with the companies whether they would enter teams or not. Just before the meeting adjourned Major Basinger, in a neat and appropriate speech, delivered the prizes won at the shooting con test on the 22d of February, as follows: Private YV. T. Moody Company B., first prize, a handsome gold locket; Sergeant- Major Joseph Phillips, Company B., seeond prize, a set of studs and cuff buttons: and Sergeant E. J. Keiffer, Company B., third prize, a handsome scarf ring. TI»e BlareIi of Improvement. The work of pulling down the old row of wooden buildings nearly opposite the Morning News office was begun yesterday. These buildings were erected after the great lire of 1820, which laid in ruins the city from Jefferson to Abercom and from Bay to Broughton streets, destroying nearly five hundred houses, uot including out buildings. The only buildings remaining unscathed within the boundaries men tioned were the Stat»Bank(now occupied.by Messrs. W. Cqmming&Co.) and the Planters Bank (now occupied by YJr. Jas. G. Mills). Christ Church and three or luur other brick edifices. The foundations of the houses now being demolished show by the cellars underneath that the buildings which occupied the lot previous to the fire were of a more substantial character than the present row, which waa rebuilt upon the site and is now being razed. The property was granted to Governor Ellis, who was Governor of the Colony in 1757, the ancestor of the present owner. John L. Hardee, Esq., and has ever since remained in possession of the family. The improvements which are to be made will consist of a row of two-story brick buildings, a description of which was given in the Morning News some time since, when the change was first contemplated by Mr. Hardee. Savannah Riilo Association. A very large and enthusiastic meeting of the Savannah Rifie Association was held at their hall last evening to consider matters in regard to tlieir approaching anniversary. After an interchange of views it was decided to commemorate the occasion by a picnic iff the Hermitage on Thursday,the 4th of April, and committees were appointed to look after the necessary details. A proposition was re< eived from Mr. Geo. A. Gemundeu, lessee of the Schuetzen Park, to prepare a practice ground, with neces sary targets, at the Park for the association upon the most liberal terras, and a communi cation was also received from Mr. E. J. Thomas, Superintendent of the Coast Line Railroad, in reference to transportation, etc., to the grounds in the event of the Pane be ing selected for the weekly practice of the club. On motion of Mr. George L. Appleton the propositions of Mr. Gemuuden and Mr. Thomas were accepted, and hereafter the association will have their weekly practice at the Schuetzen Park, the anniversary being celebrated at the Hermitage. Street Car Colli*iou. Quite an excitement was occasioned about half-past two o’clock yesterday afternoon by a collision between car No. 8 of the Sa vannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Road, and No. 11 of the Coast Line Road, at the inter section of Broughton and YYTiitaker streets. Both cars were well filled with hurrying people, on their way to dinner, and the delay consequently caused considerable grum bling. The Coast Line car tried to cross too near behind the car of the Savannah, Skida way anil Seaboard Road, and the front plat form of the former ran iuto the rear platform of the latter, thus throwing both cars from the track, and it was some time before they could be disengaged, the iron work of the two platforms having become clinched, so to speak, in the collision. Two enterprising citizens engineered the performance and got things straight, when the cars proceeded on their respective ways aud the grumbling ceased. A Handsome Blail ami Express Car. YVe saw at the Savannah and Charleston Railroad depot yesterday a very fine and handsomely built mail aud express car that has just been turned out from the com pany's workshops at Charleston. The con struction and finish of the car speaks well for the skill and taste of Southern me chanics, and will bear comparison with the best work of the kind turned out at the North. The ear is divided into two sections, one for the express matter, the other for the mail, with communication between. The mail’section is provided with all the neces sary improvements and conveniences, in cluding boxes, pigeon holes, bars with hooks for the pouches, and the appliances for lifting off and taking on mail bags at the different stations without stopping. QUARANTINE. An Effective System on the Atlantic aud Gulf Coast. The following is a copy of the memorial adopted by the recent convention held at Jacksonville, Florida, asking the establish ment of an effective system of quarantine on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts: To the Honorable the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the United States: The undersigned memorialists, a commit tee of a convention of delegates from the municipalities of Norfolk, Charleston, Port Royal. Savannah, Darien, Brunswick, Saint Mary’s, Fernandina, Jacksonville, Saint Au gustine, Cedar Keys and Pensacola, respect fully represent to your honorable bodies— That said convention, assembling in the city of Jacksonville, on the 14th day of Feb ruary, 1878, for this special purpose, took under consideration the establishment of a uniform aud effective system of quarantine on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, as the only reliable means of protection against the im portation of infectious and contagious dis eases from foreign countries, and that said convention, with marked unanimity, author ized the undersigned to pray your honorable bodies to establish such a system. The reasons for this are as obvious as they are cogent. Nearlv, if not ail the leading Atlantic and Gulf seaport cities of the United States have, within nearly two centuries past, been visited by epidemics of yellow fever, originally introduced by ves sels coming from the YVest Indies, and from infected ports of other countries. In many well defined instances these epi demics have been extended to several cities at the same time, by their intercourse with the city originally invaded. The ravages of these epidemics have been frightful. Sparing neither age nor sex nor condition, they have swept through whole communi ties with dreadful power, either driving their inhabitants fugitives among strangers, or taking life, health and happiness from those too true or powerless to fly. A multi tude of lives has been sacrificed in those heartrending scenes. YVliole families have been swept away, or deprived by death of their natural supporters, are helplessly left, not only to desolation aud woe, but to des perate want. While such terrible visitations have re peatedly assailed some communities, the material damages they have inflicted have been more than severe. The losses pro duced by the epidemic which raged in the city of Savannah iu 1876, have been estima ted at $5,800,000, or nearly one-half the present value of the whole taxable real estate of that city. Not less than three hundred and forty-four epidemic infections of this disease, occur ring between the years 1693 and 1877, have assailed various * seaports of the United States on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and neighboring cities and towns, from Boston to Galveston. To those who are familiar with the fearful nature of this disease, this statement con veys a proposition of flying populations, dis ease, death, and want, paralyzed commerce, deserted harbors, ruined industries, reduced values, waste of the accumulations of years of careful toil, of losses, which in their ag gregation are awful to contemplate. During all the long period in which these misfortunes have been repeated (at no time more violently than in very recent years), the quarantines at the seaports have been regulated under the separate laws of nine teen States touching the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, on a coast three thousand miles in extent. While these laws have been in tended for the protection of health, life, and property, they have been wholly wanting in uniformity. In some of the States the quarantine laws are directly under the administration of the State authorities, in others they are dele gated to the administration of the municipal authorities of the seaports, in some instances several seaports being in the same State. Hence the quarantine laws, various for these reasons, become the more so for differ ing local reasons, or even for personal rea sons, as where the mere discretion of the medical officer in charge of the quarantine is the only actual law. It should not, therefore, seem surprising that the ravages of yellow fever in American cities have been frequent and appalling. Man}' of the seaports are without adequate means of ascertaining the existence of in fectious aud contagious diseases at the for eign poris with which they have commercial relation. Their medical officers are some- times inexperienced in the diseases most dreaded, and fail to detect its presence on shipboard. Others in the race cf commerce, and in the competition with neighboring ports for get,or recklessly disregard the dangers of the pestilence they may let loose Quarantine and its reasonable adjuncts for disinfection are sometimes wholly neglected, and in all instances the most careful officers are liable to be deceived by the criminal misrepresen tations of Captains as to the condition of tlieir vessels and crews. Officers differing, too, in their opinions as to the duration of quarantine necessary for disinfection, some gravely asserting all quarantine to be use less, it may be in vain for the most judicious and effective measures to h<? taken against the importation of diseases iu one seaport when another near by admits, and may com municate the infection within a few hours, by either land or water transportation. Of the three hundred and forty-four epidemic infections hereinbefore mentioned, about forty per cent, have been distinctly traced to foreign importation, and nearly all the remainder have occurred iu places in easy communication with the localities of origi nal infection i’o add to these grave embarrassments to effective quarantine, growing out of the want of uniform regulations, the great ma jority of the seaport cities above named are wholly without conveniences for adequate quarantine, such as hospitals, storehouses, and disinfecting apparatus; nor cau they en sure the cost of establishing such conveni ences. The result js an inhospitable, and of ten cruel, system of confining whole crews, sometimes for protracted periods, on board of infected ships, interdicted communication with the shore, except under the most strin gent regulations. When such regulations arc observed in good faith the crews often suffer great privations, while the well among them remain in continued danger of disease. Rut it is seldom that ai an* *»t the seaports there is a police force sufficient to compel observance of the quarantine regulations. So that if enforced, they may be inhospitable and cruel: and when not enforced, they may become absolutely inoperative, and the pub lic health be endangered under empty forms of law. We also ask your attention to the great losses to commerce from vexatious and un necessary delays of vessels in quarantine— delays which could be readily relieved by appliances for disinfection, which attach to properly equipped 4infantine establish ments, now wholly wanting in a great ma jority of the seaports, and which they are unable to procure. We respectfully submit to your honorable bodies that the experience of nearly two hundred years has demonstrated, at a fear ful cost of life, health and money, that the existing various and inconvenient methods of quarantine in different States and seaports, conducted without due regard to the public good, are at once ineffective anil dangerous. We believe that the remedy for the correc tion of these evils is within the constitu tional powers of the General Government, and we pray for the protection of the public health, and* for the promotion of commerce, that your honorable bodies will replace the existing methods by a uniform and effectiv system of quarantine on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

In closing his remarks ue expressed the hope that the Bartows would be stimulated by this marked com pliment to greater exertions, and that their determination would ever be to “go ahead.” The company with a number of guests were then invited to partake of a collation, which was flanked by delicious punch brewed in “Mike's” best style and served from his elegant massive silver bowl, and a box of fragrant cigars. After a welcome re mark from the President various toasts were given and briefly responded to by the com plimented ones. A song and social converse followed, filling up most pleasantly the measure of a couple of hours, when the gallant company and their friends separated. The Recent Arretis for Violation of the Revenue Lawn. Eelitor Morning Xetes: Knowing the fair ness you have always displayed in your columns, I desire to give some additional particulars in reference to the arrests for violations of the internal revenue laws noticed in to-day's paper and to defend several good citizens of Hancock county, brought down here and tried yesterday (Monday) before United States‘Commis sioner A. N. Wilson, for distilling and sell ing spirituous liquors and tobacco without license. The first case was that of Lewis B. Culver, a poor afflicted man.who I do not suppose has been able to do am- but the lightest work in twenty years. He proved before the Commissioner that he did not own the land on which the still was situated, and that he had no interest whatever in the still. The government proved he was seen at the still once or twice, and for this he was sup- postd to be the owner of it. Of course he was discharged. The next case was that of Mr. Renfroe. He proved that when he commenced to build his still house he made application for a license, and produced re peated letters asking for blanks for bonds and license to distill fruit. Late in the season he received a letter from the Collector, stating he had forwarded him the blanks. Upon this information he put up several stands of fruit to get ready to be distilled. The blanks did not come to band, and he wrote again, besides going eighteen or twen ty miles to MUIedgeviIIe to see the Deputy Collector to get his license. This man was not at home. He wrote him a letter asking him to come out and bring the blanks anil witness his bond, so that he could go to work, offering to pay his expenses to and from Milledgeville to his nearest railroad station, and from there bring him to his house and cam* him back in his buggy. This officer did not come, and, as his fruit was spoiling, he determined to distill it. He did distill it, but immediately notified the Collector and requested him to send the guager with the blanks for bonds and license and said he stood ready to pay the tax cn that which he was obliged to distill or lose. Now, if ever a man did all he could to comply with law he did. There was fault somewhere, but not on his side. Nevertheless, he was bound over to appear before the United States District Court at the April term next ensuing. The case of Dr. Gilmore stands about on the same foot ing and he waived examination and gave t>ond. The case of George E. YY’alker was this: The government proved that a negro man in his employ gave him fifty cents and asked him to purchase iu Sparta a piut of peach brandy for him on one occasion, and on two or three other occasions Mr. Walker gave the negro a little braudy, for which he charged him nothing. Mr. Walker proved he did not keep a drop of liquor on his premises, but bought it of a licensed retail liquor dealer in Sparta. The tobacco case was about the same. The negro hands in his employ gave him from time to time a few ceuts to buy a plug of tobacco when ever he went to Sparta. He purchased it of a merchant licensed to seli it, and gave it to his hands merely as their agent. He was discharged. All these men were brought here two hundred miles and more by rail, compelled to pay their expenses and turned loose without any redress. The citizens of Hancock county have ever been distinguish ed in the history of Georgia for their char acter and love of law and order. I do not reflect anything upon what you have said of Capt. J. YV. Anderson, the efficient Marshal. To relieve him, I will just say he was led to appoint a very irresponsible man, by the name of Charles E. Scott, as one of his deputies, by another deputy who did not know Scott’s character. If you will publish this vindication these gentlemen will feel under many obligations. Yours, etc., March 26th. Y’eritas. Weekly Weatlier Chronicle. We have received from the Signal Ob server the following general summary of the weather for the week ending Saturday, March 23: During Saturday a low area from the Northwest and Manitoba advanced south eastward to the Atlantic coast, producing light rains aud spows, aud by midnight of Sunday, the lowest pressure” was off the coast of Connecticut. During Monday it progressed northeasuvard along the coast to Nova Scotia, being central off the coast by midnight: from Tuesday to Thursday the central depression remained in the neighbor- borhood of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, com mencing to rise about midnight. On Friday morning the pressure began again to fall, with winds from the west, which conditions still continue. Iu rear of this depression the pressure rose considerably above the normal from Manitoba southeastward to the Atlantic coast, and remained above until af ter noon of YY’ednesday. During Saturday the pressure began to fall on the Pacific coast, with light rains, and on Monday the area of rain and low pressure advanced to the Rocky Mountain region. During the re mainder of the week the pressure was sub ject to only slight changes, attended with occasional rains and snows. By midnight of Sunday a low area, attended by southerly winds and threatening weather, made its appearance in Manitoba, and on Tuesday morning this depression was central in Kan sas apq Nebraska. During Monday the pressure began falling in lexa*, probably influenced by the previous depression ad vancing from the Pacific coast, and on Tues day and Wednesday this low area merged with the one from the Northwest, the lowest pressure being central iu Kansas. During Thursday anil Friday it still remained in Kansas. On Friday morning the barometer began slowly falling *n Manitoba, and by this morning a low area has advanced to a position central over the northeastern por tions of Lakes Superior and Michigan. Oil Thursday a slight depression, attended with light rains moved northeastward from the Gulf over Florida, and disappeared by mid night of Friday. The highest pressure is along the South Atlantic coast, and the lowest over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The rainfall fur ffco past week averages about as follows in the various districts: St. Lawrence valley, 0.08 inch; New England, 0.54; Middle Atlantic States, 0.34; South Atlantic States, 0.12; Eastern Gulf States, 0.29; YVestern Gulf States, 0.04; Lower Lake region, 0.24; Upper Lake region, 0.18; Ohio valley and Tennessee, 0.05; Upper Missis sippi valley, 0.00: Missouri valley, 0.06 Minnesota o.Ou.

Sharp arrived here yesterday njqrqjng by the Central J>ailroad train, having in custody the negro John Johnson, who killed Daniel McDermott, seaman of the bark Tikoina, on Sunday, the 17th. lie immediately proceeded to the police barracks and delivered the prisoner up, who was subsequently sent to jail to await trial. Officer »karp states that he arrested Johnson on the plantation of Colonel George R. Black, in Scrtven county, about seventy-five miles from Savannah, his arrival there being communicated by some of the negroes on the place. There was no reward offered for the 9^ t 'his 'b'sper^'iG, out it would seem but right that some compensation should be given Officer Sharp, and that hie expenses here should be paid. In this connection we may mention that the grand jury of the Superior Court will meet on the 6th of April, and if a bill of in dictment is found against Johnson, the case may be set for trial ou the 15th. It is necessary that there should be some prompt ness in this matter as a number of sailors are detained here as witnesses. City Court. Judge YV’m. D. Harden presiding. Court convened yesterday morning at ten o’clock for the trial of the vagrants who were arrested on Sunday morning by the police and turned over ou warrants issued by Magistrate Abrains.
