Cold Weather-Snow in Savannah.
Our early risers yesterday morning wit
nessed a novel sight, in a miniature snow
storm. The flakes commenced falling be
tween four and five o’clock, and continued
falling for some time, but not in sufficient
quantities to make any show on the side
walks. Between eight and nine o’clock
there was another fall of light snow, and
the appearance of the horizon indicated that
Savannah might enjoy a genuine good snow
fall, but the sanguine ones *ho hoped to
see the ground covered with nature’s white
mantle were disappointed. It is evident,
however, that there has been quite a heavy
fall of snow in Southwestern as well as
Upper Georgia. The roofs of the cars of
the train which arrived on the Gulf Rail
road yesterday moruiug were white with
“beautiful snow.”
The weather was intensely cold Saturday
night and early yesterday morning, and in
various parts of the city hydrauts were
frozen. The plumbers will probably be busy
to-day. Last night the weather was raw,
but not as cold as it has been, anj there
were indications of an early change aud a
rain, though “probabilities” also predicts
possible snow for this latitude, too.
Accident to Sergeant Lee.
Sergeant Lee, of the police force, met
with quite a painful accident Satur
day morning about half-past eight o’clock.
He was ln the act of getting into the Bar
nard street car at the Market, when a
frightened horse hitched to a single
wagon came dashing down Congress street.
The noise and bustle iu the vicinity pre
vented Sergeant Tee from noticing tne ap
proach of the wagon, and hence he did not
get out of the way. The fore wheel of the
wagon struck him a severe blow
on the left hip, knocking him
down. He received several painful
bruises, probably caused by the wagon run
ning over him. He was kindly assisted into
the ear and conveyed home, and was do
ing well vesterday, but will probably be
unable to’return to duty for several days.
The horse ran qowu Barnard street to
Hull, where the wagon, colliding with the
curb at the corner, w^s broken" to places.
Parade of the Colored Troop*.
The postponed emancipation parade by
colored military will take place to-day.
The various conIF* nles wiU on
Sioulh Rroad street, where the regiment
will be formed under Wm. II. Woodhouse
as Colonel. It is expected thut t^o new
companies, the Georgia Artillery and the
Colquitt Blues, vail make their first appear-
After forming, the troops will move down
South Broad to East Broad, to Bay to Bull,
to Jones t» prayton, thence to the Park ex
tension, where a sa»ute qf thirty-eight ^uus
will be fired by the Georgia Artille;/. The
emancipation proclamation will be read by
L. B. Toomer, and an address will be de
livered by John H. Deveaux. In the even
iug the several companies will have balls at
their halls and other social entertainments.
* f trc.
About twenty minute* to e.erc;; o'clock
on Saturday morning an alarm of fl,-c was
sounded from station No. 27, corner of J ones
3Rd Lincoln streets, which was occasioned
by the aiscove^v of smoke issuing from the
roof of an unoccupied two-stery frame ^tene
ment on the south sioe ol -ones
street, two doors from East Broad.
The department responded promptly, and
in a short time the- flames were extinguish
ed, aud a serious conflagration was prevented.
The property is owned by Mrs. J. F. Canu,
and is insured iu the Southern Mutual In
surance Company, represented by Messrs.
T. li. Harden Co., for the sum of $400,
which will fully fioyer the loss.
Police <’a*c*.
There were nice arrests recorded at the
police barracks at one o’clock tills morning
as follows: Two white and two colored
men, charged with fighting; three colored
men and one colored female, drunk and dis
orderly, and Henry Brown, colored, charged
with stealing two coats from J. L. Green-
baum, corner of Jefferson and Broughton
streets.
Specie Payment Resumed*

this glorious country have had an uncertain
medium of exchange, but with the new
year we enter upou a solid currency again,

THE CITY OFFICES.
Election Wedne*dajr Night—The
Candidate*.
The election of city officers for the com
ing year, 1879, will take place on Wednesday
night, the duty of filling the positions being
devolved upon the present Council. The
present incumbents, as may be expected,
are all candidates for re-election, and those
who fill the principal offices will not, from
indications now, have any opposition. The
contest, however, will be lively for some of
the other positions. The office of Port
Warden seems to be popular, and there are
ten candidates already in the field, only five
of whom can, under any circumstances, be
elected. Somebody is sure to be disap
pointed.
This is also the case with the positions of
Sergeants of police; there are only five to
elect, and nearly double the number have
entered. The City Marshal will have opposi
tion; also the Chief Fireman, whilst -here
will certainly be two, possibly three, candi
dates for Assistant Chief. Dr. Osceola But
ler, the present incumbent, will not be a

Cruelty to Animal Cages — Good
ivork,
The officers and members of the Louise
King Association for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals are taking a lively in
terest in the good work, and the efficient
Secretary, Mr. N. K. Platehek, is particu
larly energetic.
On Saturday several cases were taken
charge or, among them the following
A horse that was badly bruised by a fall
near the corner of Barnard and Perry
streets, on Saturday morning, was ordered
to be sent to the stable for treatment, at the
expense of the owner.
In the morning officer Henry Wetherhorn,
who kindly volunteered his services to the
ass&ci^tiou had a lame horse, which he 6aw
on the flawing . wafi&R, |od evi
dently suffering greatly, seut to the gtabie,
and reprimanded the driver.
About a quarter to two o’clock in the
afternoon, Secretary Platshek’s attention
was attracted to a horse drawing a wagon
near the comer of State and Barnard streets.
The poor animal was in a horrible condition,
the Loo? of one of the fore feet being
crooked and swollen Loir the Rnjdt, and
appeared to be suffering severely. Mr.
Platshek ordered the animal to be taken
out of the wagon, and required the
driver to accompany him to a surgeon,
wh^ pronounced the horse utterly unfit
for wo«k, and io be incu r able. A commit
tee of the association will this muming
have a consultation with the owner, a
colored woman, in reference to haviug the
horse killed. If she refuses to consent to
this she will be required to keep the
animal in the stable and have him properly
fed, as the surgeon says it would be heart
less cruelty to attempt to work him.
The planter* Hotel.
The abtCnlshin^ popularity which this
hotel has acquired under the management
of Mr. John Bresnan has been the subject
of general remark. The register during the
business season is filled daily with the names
of strangers from all parts of the country
who have heard of the excellent manner in
which those who 6top at the Planters are
treated. The energetic proprietor, Mr. Jno.
Bresnan, is untiring in his efforts to please,
and well is he rewarded. Every one coming
to Savannah hear* the praises of the
Planters Hotel, and those who wish
for comfort and conveniences at reasonable
prices, do hot fail to stop there. The rooms
are comfortable, well ventilated and
handsomely furnished, whilst the table is
supplied with the best this and the Northern
markets can afford. In fact, the table of
the Planters Hotel has been pronounced by
many cld travelers to be the equal of any
they have ever sat down to, and superior to
many provided by more pretentious institu
tions.
Special accommodations are offered fami
lies and commercial travelers, and among
the latter fraternity, largely represented this
season in Savannah, the popularity of the
Planters is great. The reasonable price of
board and lodging is a great inducement to
strangers in these times, and we are not sur
prised that the register should be daily
filled. The rates are $1 50 and $2 per day,
according to the location of rooms, and if
anything can be more reasonable than this
we do not know it.
“First class” hotels do not offer more
comfortable rooms or a better table than
the Planters, and as “money is everything,”
it is natural that strangers should give the
Planters preference. The progressive pro
prietor has besieged the town, as It were,
and is determined that should the other
hotels reduce the price of board, he shall
still receive the reward and wear the medal.
Truthfully speaking, in language that is
the Planters is the shining light now.

THE IfcE-DEDICATION OF BEACH
INSTITl TE.
The Exercl*e«—Appropriate Ad-
dr eaves.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock this In
stitute, which has been rebuilt by the
American Missionary Association upon the
same site and after the old style, with some
improvements, was re-dedicated by appro
priate religious services.
The singjng was accompanied by a new
nine stop American organ, donated by Mr.
3. D. Smith, of Boston, the President of the
manufacturing company. There are many
of these souvenirs of his benevolence thus
donated to the Institutions of the American
Missionary Association in the South.
Rev. K. F. Markham, the pastor, stated
that the delay of the dedication three
months after the reopening of the Institute
had been occasioned by the fact that the
chapel had not been finished, and the failure
to receive the seats which had been manufac
tured in New York aud which did not reach
here until one week ago. Prof. Koons, the
principal, made a statement that the school
had opened with sixty scholars and bad now
increased to two hundred and ninety, in
cluding those of the night school. He also
stated that the object of the Institute was
to afford the advantages of higher educa
tion 10 those who desire to go beyond the
public school course; that it was their pur
pose uot to influence the pupils as to any
change in their denominational relations,
and that they were not to seek any diver
sion in political relations. He would also
aay to their white brethren, that their sym
pathy and co-operation was earnestly invited
in this work, as it Is only a Christian and
missionary enterprise.
The Revs. Sengstacke, Simms, Gadsou,
Callen and Stevens were present, some of
them participating in the service. The
prayer of dedication was offered by Rev. R.
F. Markham.
The principal address was made by
Rev. J. E. Roy, colored, of Atlanta, who
is the Field Superintendent. He read
scripture passages upon the burning of Solo
mon’s Temple and the rebuilding and re-
dedicating of the second temple, as found
in the current Sunday school lessons. So
to-day, he said, we rededicate this temple of
learning which had been burned, aud so
maj the glory of this latter house be greater
than that of the former. The bible religion
is eminently a teaching religion. God f^et
Moses to teaching the people as soon as
they had been redeemed from bondage, and
kept biin at it for forty years. They were
all sent to a boarding school, with manna
and quails for their table fare. Chief
Justice Hornblower said that all civil
laws were based upon those of
Moses. So Ezra, after the return from
captivity, set to teaching the people by read
ing the law and making it plain. Did you
ever think that God gave the first five books
of the Bible to a race of ex-bondraen ? Did
you ever think that these two prophets of
the Bible, Ezekiel and Daniel, were of the
captivity, and that the four books of Ezra,
Nehemiah, Haggai and Zachariab, were fur
nished by these ex-captives? Our God
himself condescends to be called our teacher,
and they shall all be taught of God. Christ
also was a teacher. We know' that thou art
a teacher come from God. Ilis followers
were disciples, and they were biddeu of
Him: “Go teach all nations.” This teach
ing is thjit all men may know God.
And so the speaker went on to set forth the
idea of Christian teaching in the family, in
the church and in the school. The family
was Gjd’s first and noblest institution with
one indissoluble tie between one husband
and one wife. The family is buttressed
with laws to secure love, reverence and
obedlcpce. Husbands love your wives.
Children obey your parents. Into the
school God put boys anfi girls, an intimation
as to the wisdom of co-education. He said
I know Abraham, that he will command his
children and his house after him. Dis
obedient boys who went into the army came
out greatly improved in their respect for
superiors and those in authority. Eli’s
sons turned out badly for lack of discipline.
And David had some of the same experi
ence.
So the church is a school for Christian
teaching. The pastor is the teacher. “He
gave some pasters aud teachers.” They are
to teach religion, to teach it in application
to the whole round of human affairs, as the
way of life by the blood of Christ. So it is
the duty of the church to raise up able min
isters of the Word to be her teachers. The
Sabbath school is a department of church
teaching. It is a great help to parents, but
it must not be allowed to take the place of
fidelity in parental training. So we have
Christiau teaching iu the day school. The
family, the Sabbath school, cannot do it all.
The day school comes in to help. It is the
great democratic, philanthropic, patriotic
uplifter. The State backs it up. Georgia
raises $400,000 a year for free schools aud
appropriates $S,000 a year to the Atlanta
University for the higher aud normal educa
tion of colored young people. The chil
dren of colored people have an e. t ual chance
at the public school fuud. This city makes
admirable provision for them. But the law
limits the course to primary studies. There
is then need of a high school to carry along
those who wish to go beyond the com
mon school studies. Such a school will
stimulate the pupils in the primary
departments to go up still higher. It will
prepare not a few or tpeui tor pOaltious as
teachers and in business relations. It will
also fit students for euterieg college courses.
Such an institute ii the Reach. Many in
the city will avail themseiyes of its advant
ages who could not afford to go abroad aud
pay for board.
the speaker dosed by giving two
thoughts for the consideration of
his hearers: (1) Gratitude for this op
portunity of Christiau teaching in the fami
ly, the church and the school; gratitude
for the help of the State and for the help of
the American Missionary Association,which
iu this work has, at the South, eight char
tered colleges, thirteen graded and normal
institutions, and sixty-five Congregational
ChurpUes.
(2) All this culture Is to be sought not as
an end, but as a means. As a means to
higher influence and usefulness. An ex
hilarating prospect is before educated freed-
men who consecrate themselves to the work
of uplifting their race.

Supreme Coart Decision.
Bostock vs. The State. Murder, from Chat
ham.
Warner, C. J.
The defendant was indicted for the offense
of murder, and on his trial therefor was
found guilty of voluntary manslaughter. A
motion was made in arrest of judgment on
the grounds therein stated, amongst which
are, “that the allegations in the indictment
do not either in the first or second counts
thereof set forth or specify any offense with
which defendant is charged;”" and because
“of the alteration of the second count after
indictment found, and because both of the
counts are fatally defective.’’ A motion
was also made for a new trial on various
grounds, both of which motions were over
ruled, and the defendant excepted. The
following is a copy of the indictment:
u Georgia, Chatham County.—Tne grand
jurors, selected, chosen and sworn for the
county of Chatham, to-wit: (here the
names of the grand jurors are set out) In
the name and behalf of the citizens of
Georgia, charge and accuse Thomas Bos
tock, of the county and State aforesaid,
with the offense of murder; for that the said
Thomas Bostock, in the county of Chatham
and State aforesaid, on the seventeenth day
of August, Li the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven,
with force and arms in and upon one
Catharine Bostock, in the peace of God and
Slid State, feloniously, wilfully, and with
malice aforethought did make an assault:
a .d that the said Thomas Bostock. being
t eu and there the husband of her, the said
C Aharine Bostock, did then and there,
i i a violent and threatening man
ner, and by threats, menaces and
abusive language, then and there used to,
o',and iu the presence and hearing of her,the
s lid Catharine Bostock, did so operate on
her fears as to induce her to believe that
the said Thomas Bostock thereby intended
t) do her some great bodily harm, and that
by means of the language, acts aud dispo
sition of the said Thomas Bostock, so as
aforesaid manifested, that her personal
liberty was in great peril and her life greatly
endangered, and acting under the influence
of her fears, so as aforesaid brought about
by the unlawful, wilful and malicious con
duct of the said Thomas Bostock, she, the
said Catharine Bostock, being at that time
in an upper story of a certain house iu said
county, at the time occupied by the said
Thomas and Catharine Bostock, she, the
said Catharine Bostock, iu her endeavor to
escape from the vengeance, wrath and vio
lence of him, the said Thomas Bostock, so
as aforesaid manifested, and having been
and at that time being greatly terrified, aud
being in fear that her life was endangered
so as aforesaid, feloniously, wilfully and
with malice aforethought manifested by tbe
said Thomas Bostock, did, from a certain
portico attached to said house, fall to the
ground, and did thereby receive certain
mor &1 wounds and bruises, of which said
mortal wounds and bruises the said Cathar
ine Bostock afterwards, to wit: iu the coun
ty and State aforesaid, and on the eighteenth
day of August, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven,
died.
“And so the jurors aforesaid, on their
oaths aforesaid, do say that he, the said
Thomas Bostock, her, the said Catharine
Bostock, in manner and form aforesaid,
feloniously, wilfully, and with malice afore
thought, did kill aud murder, contrary to
the laws of 6aid State, the good order,
peace and dignity thereof.
“And the jurors aforesaid, in the name and
behalf of the citizens of Georgia, further
charge and accuse the said Thomas Bostock
with having committed the offense of mur
der.
“For that the said Thomas Bostock, in the
county of Chatham and State of Georgia
aforesaid, on the seventeenth day of Au
gust, iu the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-seven, aud upon
one Catharine Bostock, in the peace of God
and said State, feloniously, wilfully, and
with malice aforethought, did make an
assault.
“And that fie, the said Thomas Bostock,
did wilfully, feloniously, and with malice
aforethought, then and there use to, of, and
in the presence of one Catharine Bostock
certain violent and abusive language, and
with threats aud menaces did thereby great
ly excite the fears of her, the said Catha
rine Bostock, and did thereby induce her to
believe that her personal liberty and life
were greatly endangered, and she having
well grounded rexsons to believe, apd be
lieving that the said Thomas Bostock, felo
niously, wilfully, and with malice afore
thought, meditated the destruction of her
life sbe then, being in an upper story of a
certain house in said oounty, then occupied
by the said Thomas aud Catharine Bostock,
to escape the threatened violence of the said
Thomas Bostock towards her person and
life, endeavoring to escape from him, and
being on tfle top fif ft Certain portico at
tached to and a part of said bouse, and
wnilst on the outer edge of said was wil
fully and feloniously. aud with malice afore
thought, approached by the said Thomas
Bostock, and he not having the fe* r zi God
before his eyes, and being instigated by the
devil, did then and there wilfully, feloni-
ously,and with malice aforethought, seiye,
shove, and throw flip eaid Catharine Bos
tock Aroui want , 'so as aforesaid attached
to said house, with great violence to the
grouud, aud that she, the said Catharine
Bostock, by reason of said fall, did then and
there, iu manner and form aforesaid, receive
mortal wounds and bruises, and from which
said mortal wounds and bruises the said
Catharine Bostock, from the day aforesaid,
- - ay i
did languish, and languishing did live until
the eighteenth day of August, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-seven, on which last mentioned
day the said Catharine Bostock, in the coun
ty of Chatham and State of Georgia afore
said, of the mortal wounds aud bruises
aforesaid, died.
“And as the juror3 aforesaid, on their
oaths aforesaid, do say that he, the said
Thomas Bostock. in manner and form afore
said, her, the said Catharine Bostock, did
then and there, feloniously, wilfully and
with malice aforethought, kill and murder,
contrary to the law6 of the State, the good
oider, peace aud dignity thereof.”
When the Solicitor General i**ad this In
dictmept to the prisoner, he filled up the
two blank places in tbe indictment with the
word portico. After the jury had been em
panelled, the prisoner’s counsel arose and
stated In his place that it had just been dis
covered by the defense that tbe indictment
had been altered in itvsecond count since it
1 ft the grand jury room, by the insertion of
the word portico in the two blauk places.
This insertion was written in lead pencil
(the rest of the indictment being in ink)i
it was not interpolated, but written
In the blank space where there was plenty
of room. The Solicitor General admitted
that he had written the word in the two
places mentioned since the grand jury
pa-sed upon the case, but for the purpose of
his guidance, and with no intention of alter
ing the indictment. Whereupon the
prisoner moved to strike the second count
because of the insertion of the word Jn thp
two places, qnd thereby ftltari&g an indict
ment after it had left the grand jury room.
The court refused the motion, but ordered
that the word be erased in both places,
which was done, and the prisoner excepted.
This motion was made before evidence was
submitted.
There was no error in overruling the
fendant’s motion in arrect of judgment.
Tl*e indictment is lOuacTy drawn, especially
tbe first count thereof, and might have been
held bad on special demurrer thereto before
tria 1 , as required by the 4629th section of the
Code, but the objection was not good in ar
rest of judgment, as declared by that sec
tion. It appeared from the siaiement of
the Solicitor General that there was no in
tention to alter the second count of *Le in
dictment, and the duiwndant'was tried upon
it as it came fyom the grand jury. It also
appears from the record aud bill of excep
tions that, daring the progress of the trial,
the court asked the counsel for the defend
ant in the presence of the jury’, if he ob
jected to the jury examining the premises by
going to the house, *ho replied that he did
not, whereupon the court sent the jury' to the
house where the defendant lived at the time
the alleged offense was committed
to examine the same, in the custody of two
officers of the court, but neither the court
nor the defendant were present when this
part of the trial was had in and about the
ueiendant’s house. This extraordinary pro
ceeding on the part of tbo court A/a* e*TQT.
1 ^ourt had *io legal right Yo require the
defendant’s counsel to say whether he
objected to that extraordinary proceeding
or not, especially iu the presence of the
jurv, and the fact that he did not object
under the circum-tances, did not authorise
that extraordinary proceeding, it further
appears f#om the record that the court in
its charge to the jury, after reading the
first and second counts iu the indictment,
said to them, “The second count is not as
full as it might have been made, but in this
case the jury can look to the whole indict
ment and ;ee if it oOiupnes wRh the rule
stated in section 4,028 of the Code, and
read that section. If the jury find that the
second count does not so plainly state the
case that the nature of the offense charged
can be exrily understood by the jury, then
you should discard such count from your
consideration and make no finding upon
It.” This charge of the court was error.
Tbe jury were not the judges of the suffi
ciency of the indictment; that was a ques
tion for the court to decide, and should not
have been submitted to the jury for their
consideration and dec;.,ion. It also appears
that the court charged the jury, “that you
have the right also to consider the dying
declarations of Catharine Bostock, if any
have been proven to you. These are per
mitted under section* 3781 of the Code.”
The court here read that section of the
Code to the jury. This charge of the court
was error, inasmuch as there was no evi
dence of any dying declaration having been
made by Catharine Bostock, but on the con
trary an attempt was made to prove such
declarations and failed, as is shown by the
record. The evidence in this case is uot
such as to have required the verdict, not
withstanding the errors committed by the
court on the* trial thereof, and, therefore the
judgment of the court below is reversed and
a new trial ordered.

Host* of People are martyr*
To sick headache, that infallible symptom of
a disordered stomach, liver and bowels. Many
-suffer from it as many as three or four times a
week. They do so needlessly, for Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, by toning the digestive or
gans and regulating the bowels and liver, re
moves the cause, and dispels the painful
symptom. The intimate sympathy between
the brain and the abdominal region causes the
slightest disorder affecting the Latter to be re
flected, as it were, in the organ of (bought. Tbe
reform Instituted by the Bitters when the di
gestive, secretive and evacuative functions are
in a state of chaos, has other and more bene
ficial results, viz.: the complete nutrition of the
whole physical economy, tne restoration of ap
petite and repose, and an Increase in the power
of the system to resist diseases of a malarial

A Valuable Discovery.
The discoverer of a process for making Cod
Liver Oil palatable is certainly a public bene
factor, for it is universally admitted to be the
best remedy in consumptive and scrofulous
cases ever produced, yet on account of it* sick
ening taste many risk death rather than take
it. The manufacturers of Scott's Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil with the Hypo phosphites of Lime
and Soda have by their peculiar process suc
ceeded in removing the unpleasant taste of the
oil and made it as palatable xs fresh crexm.and
with the addition of the Hypophosphlte*.
which is an excellent Ixjne ana nerve tonic,
have produced a remedy of the greatest value
in the above diseases. jan3-F,M,W£wlt
