The TheatrevyVolunteer Amateur
Performance.
This evening the long-talked-of and anx
iously anticipated volunteer amateur per
formance for the benefit of the Republican
Blues armory fund, will take place at the
Savannah Theatre. The programme select
ed is varied, embracing a two^t dramatic
olio, vocal quartette, the celebrated railroad
quartette and Brannagan’s Band, and Mr.
and Mrs. Lullaby. The performance has
been carefully rehearsed, and we can
promise those who attend an enjoyable even
ing and plenty of amusement. A large num
ber of seats have been secured and the ex
pectation is of a fine house. The doors
will be opened at 7}^ o’clock and the per
formance will commence punctually at 8%
o’clock.
A dress rehearcal was given last evening
at the Theatre in the presence of quite a
number of ladies and gentlemen, who had
been invited. The entire programme was
carried out, and the performance was ex
cellent, showing iudieious management and
experience. If this rehearsal be a criterion
of what r iay be expected tnis evening. we
are safe in predicting for our community a
rare treat from our savannah amateurs.

:?ii*cetfeual|on—A Young; White Girl
from Bulloch County Found In a
Negro Brothel.
Last week whilst officer Morgan was up
the country on a search for Edward Rice,
who stole a horse from Mr. J. II. Roberts,
he was informed that a young white girl,
aged about fifteen years, had been abducted
from her home by a colored man, and her
family were in great distress. A de
scription of the girl was given him
and he was requested to keep a look out
for her. On his rptijrn to the city he made
inquiries, but was unable to ascertain
whether the parties had come to Savannah
or not, until yesterday, when he obtained
a clue, which, following, enabled him to
secure both the girl and the man,
who were domiciled in a bouse kept by a
colored woman named Robinson in that
delectable locality know as Shinbone alley.
He at once took them in charge and carried
them to the office of Magistrate Wade.
The girl is light haired, pale faced and
apparently not over fifteen years of age.
She gave her name first as Annie Hall, but
afterwards confessed that her right name
was Slater, though she insisted that she was
colored, having probably been prompted to
do this in order to avoid being detained
in custody until her parents can be
heard from. She is undoubtedly white in
complexion, but not in taste, as she boldly
asserted that she loved the dusky man, and
that he treated her better than any one else
had. The man is a light mulatto,
about thirty years of age, and gave his name
as Ben Tillman. He is from Tattnall coun
ty, but had become acquainted with the girl
while working in Bulloch when this strange
attachment was formed. The parties were
committed to jail for safe keeping, and in
formation will be sent to the girl’s mother,
who is a widow.

Council Chamber, ♦
Savannah, July 24, !8i8. f
Council met at 8 p. in. in regular semi
monthly session.
Present — Mayor Wheaton, presiding
Chairman of Council Hamilton: Aldermen
Duncan, Hamlet, Wiliink, Waring, Purse,
Schwarz, Rowland, and Freeman.
Minutes of the preceding meeting read
and approved.
The Committee on Accounts reported as
audited the sum of $9,338 15, and recom
mended that the same be passed to pay
ment.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Committee on Public Sales and City Lots
reported favorably on petition of John H.
Hennessy for separate titles to part lot No.
18 Washington ward. Adopted.
Fire Committee reported favorably on
petition of Mrs. Wall and Mrs. C. A. Lamar
to make repairs to buildings, etc. Adopted.
The Finance Committee, to whom was re
ferred the petition of John G. Butler ask
ing that he be refunded $40, amount over
paid by him under protest upon an execu
tion issued against him by the City Marshal
and levied upon his goods, as he claims that
he does not keep a paint store, but a paint
shop, yet has been compelled to pay the tax
of $o0 for keeping the former, while his tax
should have been $10 for keeping the latter,
making a difference of $40 claimed as due
him, would report that the petition prayed for
has had their careful consideration. In fixing
the tax of Mr. Butler the committee think
it quite safe for him that it should be based
upon his public declaration of the character
of his business siuce March 35th, ult,, to
date, Mr, Butler has had standing in the
mm!
himself a “whatesjle and retail dealer i
paints, oils, etc.,” and as this comes fully
within tbe designation of a paint store, un
der the tax ordinance, the committee recom
mend that the prayer of the petitioner be
not granted. Adopted.
ORDINANCE.

debt of the city of Savannah and provide
for the issue of new bonds with which to

A Business Term.
During the May term of the Superior Court,
which was adjourned yesterday, Judge Henry
B. Tompkins has managed to get through
with a vast deal of work. We find from
the records, courteously furnished by the ef
ficient and clever Deputy Clerk, Mr. J. K. P.
Carr, that the following ca*es have been
finally disposed of and got off the docket:
Civil—From jury docket 113
From mortgage docket 10
From certiorari docket 0
From motion docket 23
Criminal—Criminal docket 35
Total 187
There is only one man in jail triable before
the Superior Court, against whom a bill of
indictment has been found. He was not
tried because he was too sick and was in the
hospital.
There are scarcely any bail cases on the
criminal docket that can be tried, and they
were all afforded an opportunity for trial
except two or three, who were ready when
the State was not, and who entered a de
mand for trial.
Cases on the civil dQcket first for trial at
the May term were all called, and
most of them disposed of. Very few cases
remain over, and the dockets are clearer
than since the war, or for some time before
it. The court adjourned yesterday for the
term, and until the next October term, be
ginning Monday, October 14, 1878. .
By reason of thus clearing the dockets,
both the length of time and the expense for
holding the future terms of the court will
be very greatly reduced and the county re
lieved of an enormous drain in the time of
jurors and taxation.
Criminal prosecutions have fallen off more

This is a remarkably fine showing, and
the exhibit of the results of Judge Tomp

A Clerk Discharged for Refusing to
Pay Political Assessments.
To-day a clerk, named Waddell, in the
Sixth Auditor’s office, stationed in the Post
Office Department, was discharged by order
of Secretary Sherman, with no cause being
assigned. About two weeks ago he refused
to pay his political assessment, saying that
he was a Democrat, and that the President
had said these contributions should be vol-
imtary and not forced. When he received
his discharge to-day he asked Sixth Auditor
McGrew as to the cause, and the latter ad
mitted that he knew of no reason except
his refusal to pay the political assessment.
Waddell is a brother of Congressman Wad
dell, of North Carolina.— Washington dispatch
of the 20th.
The above is of local interest, inasmuch
as the Waddell alluded to is our well known
townsman, Mr. Hugh II. Waddell. His
friends will regret to hear he has lost his
place, but can strongly commend his action.
May he do better.
Arrival of the Schooner Yacht Little
Ida.
The tine schooner yacht Little Ida, of
which a full description appeared in the
Mousing News a few days since, arrived
here yesterday from Charleston in command
of her owner, Capt. Charles Ilaffcke, of Bal
timore. As previously stated, she left Bal
timore on the 1st of June, and on her voy
age, which will be extended to Florida,
stopped at various points on tbe course.
Site will leave this evening for Florida. 8he
was lying at the wharf foot of Jefferson
street—at Upper Hydraulic Press—last even-
ton?. She is a little beauty, and will, no
doubt, be visited with interest by our yacht-
men.
The Temperance Lecture.
The temperance lecture delivered last
eveuing at New Houston Street Methodist
Church, by Rev. J. W. Simmons, attracted

The Colored Debate on Predestina
tion.
Editor Morning News: At the debate on
“predestination,” at the colored Baptist
Church on Monday evening, there was a
large attendance anq much interest mani
fested. The result was as follows :
The discussion was opened by Abraham
Burke, who spoke earnestly in favor of pre
destination, supporting his arguments by
Biblical points, beginning with Genesis and
closing with chapter xx. of Revelations, 13th
verse : “And the' sea gave up thp dead.” etc.
John Bryan took the negative side and
eonflued his remarks to the newspaper
accounts of the voyage of the emigrants.
There were three judges, two gave
opinion favorable to the negative, the third
to the affirmative.
The audience were divided in opinion,
but the majority appear to think that
Burke is entitled to the honors,
Burke has challenged Bryan to a discus
sion on the same subject again, three dis
interested persons to be the judges.
The point of the debate was, “Had the
emigrants who left Charleston on the Azor
for Liberia, and who died on the passage,
remained in this country, would they have

RIFLE CONTEST AT THE 8CHEET
ZEN PARK.
The “Invincible*” at Last Defeated
bjr a Score of One—The Cadet* the
Victor* A Huior Capture* the
Individual Prize.
As was predicted, the rifle contest which
took place yesterday afternoon at the
Schuetzen Park, under the auspices of Com
pany C, Savannah Volunteer Guards, proved
the most interesting and exciting of the
rifle matches recorded in the annals of Sa
vannah marksmen. The attendance was large,
hut the forbidding appearance of the
weather possibly prevented it from being
larger. The indications of rain passed off,
and the afternoon proved most delightful,
and the “shading of the sun” was particu
larly favorable to the contestants. The
committee of Co. C, who had charge of the
arrangements, most admirably performed
their duties, and the affair was excellently
managed* throughout, and to the entire
satisfaction of aH concerned.
The contest, as has been stated, was of a
friendly character, designed for the pur
pose of encouraging rifle shooting and
fraternal intercourse between the teams.
The entrance fee was ten dollars, and eight
teams, representing as many military com
panies, entered the contest. Two-thirds of
the entrance money was to he awarded the
team making the highest score, one-third to
the team making the next highest score,
and five dollars in gold to the best individual
score.
The contest opened punctually at four
o’clock, and the rules aud regulations as
adopted and published in the News were
rigidly adhered to. There was much specu
lation as to the result, A number of bets

next, the 31st. The fine steamer Dictator
has been engaged for the occasion, and will

stopping at Tybee to land the ladies, chil
dren and others who do not wish to take the
trip on the ocei^n. Returning, the steamer
will leave the island at six p. m., arriving at
the city about eight o’clock. The fare for
the round trip is fifty cents, children half

members. The fact that the Georgia Hus
sars had entered their team, which had
earned the reputation of champions, and
whose defeat was considered an al
most impossibility, gave additional excite
ment and interest to the contest. Many,
however, thought that the}’ would not carry
off the victory so easily on this occasion,
and some were found with nerve enough to
bet against them. The fine scores which it
was understood had been made at practice
by the German Volunteers caused that
team to rise highly in favor. The
Cadets and Chatharns were also fa
vorites, and not a few were heard to
express the opinion that the youngest
company in the regiment, the gallant Cadets,
would vanquish the victors of many con
tests, the Hussars. The Chatharns stood well
in the field, and there were numbers who
run up the figures on the scores of the Blues
and Companies B and C of the Guards. Of
course these diverse opinions in regard to
the merits of the respective teams enhanced
the interest in the result.
As stated, the contest opened at four
o’clock, progressing regularly and rapidly
until the last team was called and had tired.
The contest closed at a quarter to seven
o'clock. The result was as follows:

As will be seen by the above, there wer^
three ties on twenty-two, these scores being
made by Mr. George L. Appleton, Company
B ; Lieut. G. B. Pritchard, Georgia Hussars;
aud Private D. M. McAlpin, Georgia Hussars.
According to the terms of ttie contest, these
gentlemen were required to “shoot off” the
tie, in order to determine who should re
ceive the individual prize. After the close
of the team contest, these gentlemen were
summoned to the gallery and the contest
was commenced for the
INDIVIDUAL PRIZE
with the following result:
George L. Appleton 4 4 4
G. B. Pritchard 4 4 5
D. M. McAlpin 4 3
It will be seen that there were two ties on
four by Mr. Appleton and Mr. Pritchard,
Mr. McAlpin being thrown out of the con
test by making a three on the second round.
On the third round, as seen, Mr. Appleton
made 4, and Mr. Pritchard 5, who was there
upon declared the winner.
This closed the Sport of the day, but
many amusing scenes afterwards occurred.
The Hussars greeted most cordially the
victorious Cadela, and presented each mem
ber of that team with a Hussar button, cut
from their new fatigue eoats, and which
was the only button on them. The gun
barrels of the Cadets were decorated with
bunches of flowers, and the gallant team
were the recipients of warm congratula
tions from their brother soldiers.

THE RED SNAPPER CLUB.
A Hunt for the Celebrated Bank*,
and How It Ended.
The expedition sent out Tuesday night on
the steamer Dictator to search for the “Sa-
pelo Red Snapper Banks," which bad been
lost since Ponce de Leon first cruised on the
Southern coast, returned last night about
11:20, after an unsuccessful cruise. Not a
solitary red snapper, or a snapper of any
other color, was caught, though it was as
serted by some of the expeditionists that
the steamer had cruised from Cape Lookout
to the Florida reefs. It was a solemn sight
—those 125 fishermen, as they filed up the
gang plank and once more set their weary
feet upon the cobble stones of River street,
and cast their sea leg5 away. ’‘They said
nothing to nobody.” \Ve can almost assert,
without fear of contradiction, that this is
“positively the last Red Snapper excursion
of the season." However, that all maybe
fully informed concerning this eventful hunt
for the “Snapper Banks,” we present the
following from the “log" kept by a friepd,
who carried down a bushel basket in which
to stow’ his spoils :
Steamer Dictator, Tuesday, July 23,
Up. m.—The lines were cast and the ele
gant steamer Dictator moved out into the
stream, hound for the Sapelo Snapper
Banks, having on board a happy party of
over one hundred amateur fishermen. The
run down to Sapelo was made in quick time.
After getting the lights to guide us to the
fishing grounds arranged to suit, the hunt
began in earnest. The steamer was kept
going until daylight, when the gong
was heard to telegraph to the engineer
to stop his engines. That sound, long lis-
tened for, brought over a hundred half sea
sick, staggering passengers from their cool
berths. Lines were unreeled, hooks baited,
and in less time tlum it takes to write it, a
net-work of white tew snapper lines were
em
V
'i'ager to catch the first snapper, a prize
having been offered (a paid subscription to
the Morning News for one year). But,
alas! man often expects too much, and iu
this case one and all certainly did. Every
one expected to haul to the decks from the
briny deep a forty-pound snapper, but all
were doomed to be disappointed. One half-
starved cat and a crab were the results of
the first drop. At this point, 5 a. m., the
unrivaled, and so far unsuccessful hunt for
the fishing grounds, was resumed. It is
now 2 p. m., and we are still on the hunt,
having no trail to guide us. The
compass being of no use in this case, our
only hope lies in some person dreaming of
the exact spot and communicating the fact
to the wheelsman. “We have been fifty
miles to sea, nearly to the Gulf Stream,”
some say, but the Captain says not.
At this moment we are in sight of Doboy,
heading from land, pursuing and going over
the track which we made in the morning,
firm in the belief that we shall succeed and
enjoy for our late dinner some of those
sneaking and dodging snappers, but in my
opinion we shall snap our teeth over beef
and ham instead of snapper fish.
While the steamer is in hot pursuit
of snappers, in order to fully enjoy the
trip and kill time the Savannah
amateur fishing party are engaged
in various games, card playing, boxing,
betting on snapper fishing, telling fish
stories, meandering through the cabins sea
sick, destroying o//ua fontis and lemons,
(nearly half are sea sick), but in face of the
fact they claim that they are not, neverthe
less they stagger, none walking a bee line.
3:15 p. m.—Homeward bound. After
steaming out from land the second time and
doing everything in our power to find the
snappers, we are at last forced to give it up
as a bad job aud return home a disappoint-
ed party, without Hsh and two dollars less.
Since eating dinner nearly every person
seems to haTe a new attack of seasickness,
The ocean Is comparatively smooth "with
long swells."
It Is well to mention that the Captain
never before visited the Sapelo Snapper
Banks, and therefore he knew not wke.o to
And them. Hence no blame should be at-
tached to him for the failure to discover the
coveted spot. He depended upon several
gentlemen of Savannah to direct him to the
banks, they professing to “know all about
it.” I think such were tho arrangements
when the excursion wa3 made up, but, as
results proved, they knew just about as
much as those who acknowledged this as
their first trip.
The Captain promises that if the steamer
can get to Tybee Hlackflsh Banks in time that
he will stop and give us a chance at the WocAx
But I think our time too limited, although
the steamer is moving at a rapid rate, our
polite Captain being determined to do all
in his power to please us.
9:15 i*. m.—We are now crossing the Sa
vannah bar, homeward bound; wind blow
ing strong from east-northeast and a heavy
sea.
11:10 i*. M.—After twenty-four hours of
steaming we are again safely moored to the
wharf. There may probably be another
snapper hunt to the Femandina Banks at no
distant date, but . And so endeth the
first hunt inaugurated against the snapper
tribe. The market will not be well supplied
for weeks to come. Snapper.
