Sholcs 9 Savannah City Directory for
1879.
We have received from the publisher,
Mr. A. E. Sholes, a copy of his new City-
Directory for 1879, which is now being de
livered to subscribers. The Directory is in
every respect a credit to the publisher and
compiler; it is very neatly printed, and the
arrangement of the matter shows both
judgment and experience. The last Direc
tory of Savannah, published July, 1875,
contained 7,049 names. This book contains
11,516 names, an excess of 3,867, which the
publisher asserts is not due simply to the
greater number of colored names given, as
they are divided as follows: 7,305 white,
4,211 colored; whilst the previous book con
tained 5,733 whites, 1,916 colored.
In the compilation of the work, Mr.
Sholes says there are 2,121 names omitted
which were in the former book, while 6,OSS.
new names are added. This will give an
idea of the changes which take place in a
city like Savannah, and it should be borne
in mind that this does not refer to changes
of residence or business, which of them
selves would count into thousands.
The publisher, appreciating the annoy
ance occasioned by the lack of numbers to
houses outside the old city boundaries, has
very cleverly adopted a method that will
render the finding of any resident in the
localities mentioned an easy matter. Where
the houses are not numbered, the side of
the street and number of houses from the
corner are given. A street guide, an entirely
new feature in the directory, will
be appreciated, * and will be of
value. In addition to the regular
directory, and the classification of
business', there is an appendix containing
a large amouut of interesting matter, em
bracing officers of the city government,
courts, various Masonic, Odd Fellow and
other societies, military, Board of Educa
tion, with list of schools, locations and
names of teachers, fire department, police
department, churches, asylums, cemeteries,
etc. There is also given a complete list of
all the express stations in the South, and the
post offices in Georgia, and briefly the direc-

lilind Tom at Masonic Temple.
Notwithstanding the great attraction at
the Theatre last evening, Masonic Temple
was filled with the largest audience we have
seen assembled there this season, th<? occa
sion being the appearance of the won
derful negro pianist, Blind Tom. The
nature of the performance preclud
ed the arrangement of a programme,
and the entertainment was given im
promptu, so to speak. The intelligent and
appreciative audience were thoroughly de
lighted at the exhibition of the wonderful
talent of this idiotic negro, and testified
their pleasure by the most enthusiastic
applause. There were many in the hall
who had seen Tom years ago, JMiiong them
a gentleman who had played a tune for
him twenty years ago, but a single a °d
had it reproduced immediately. This gen
tleman, in accordance with the request or
the manager, took the stage and played the
air again last night, when, strange to say,
Blind Tom not only repeated^ it,
but remembered the production aud testified
his pleasure. His mastery of the instrument
is simply marvellous. At bis touch it is
converted into an organ, a violin, a flute, a
bagpipe, a musical box, or a full brass band.
He plays and sings three distinct airs at tne
same time, by a combination of notes,
spelled the name on a flag exhibited bj a
small boy in the audience, to the manager,
who understands the musical alphabet. A
description, however, would illy convey an
idea of the entertainment—to be apprecia
ted it must be seen.
To-night another, and the last, exhibition
will be given, and we expect to qpe a crowd
ed house.
Matters and Things Laconically
Noted.
The ethereal mildness continues.

them.
We had a pleasant call last evening from
' Mr.
Mr. H. J. Sargent, manager, and Mr. J. H.
Havlin, business agent, of Madame Mod

We regret to hear that the very efficient
Clerk of the City Court, Phillip M. Russell,

The pavement on Broughton 6treet, near
Montgomery, is a stumbling block to even
the best Christians, causing them oft to for
get their religion and indulge in language
profane. It is a disgrace to the city, and if
not repaired may yet occasion a broken an
kle aud a suit for damages.
The First Appearance of Modjeska.
As was anticipated, the Savannah Theatre
was last evening filled to its capacity with a
refined and fashionable audience, to wel
come the celebrated actress Modjeska,
Countess Bozenta, upon her first appearance
in the Forest City. The highly emotional
play of “Camille” was presented, and in
a style never before seen on our boards.
The play, however, has never been a
favorite with us, and the traditional
“Camille” of the stage has been far from
pleasing, notwithstanding the genius that
has been devoted to its interpretation, and
its unfailing effectiveness with an audience.
Whilst the morai of the piece
has been objectionable to many,
yet the conception of the title role has been
so varied by different actresses of celebrity
as to invest it with a certain charm. Mod jes-
ka’s interpretation of the character, how-
beit, is more flattering to her womanhood,
aud immeasurably the more beautiful crea
tion, incomparably superior to that of Miss
Lonise Pomeroy, who presented the char
acter the early part of the season, and who
gave us the Camille of the Matilda Heron
school, aud of the nature of this our readers
need not be reminded, for almost every
theatre-goer is familiar with it.
Modjeska’s Camille is as genuine a wo
man as we have ever seen upon the stage.
(Jufortunate, through fateful circumstances
which she could not master or direct, beau
tiful, airily-graceful, brilliant, restless and
capricious; reckless because of the discon
tent at her heart; sorrowful because the
aspirations of her soul look to pure and
satisfying conditions which seem to be im
possible of attainment; and devoted and
self-sacrificing in obedience to the dictates
of a love as unconquerable as death. With
her the heart dominates everything and her
affection for the man she loves makes us
forget that she has erred, and glorifies her
life. It is a wonderful portraiture she
gives and its fidelity to nature is not to be
questioned.
The support was good, though Mr. Clem
ents might have, without overstepping
proper boundaries, been a little more im
passioned in his love-making. “Gustave”
was ably rendered by Mr Manfcell, and
“Mnie. Prudence,” by Mrs. F. A. Tauuehill,
was a capital performance. “Nanine,” by
Miss Stockton, and “Nicbette,” by Miss
Bailey, were also good.
In the ball room scene Manager Sargent
complimented the fair actress by appearing
in full dress, with.the clever agent, Mr.
Havlin, and others of the business corps,
instead of allowing “supers.” The scene
was rendered more effective and pleasing to
the audience, aud was doubtless an agree
able surprise to the Madame.
The performance was capital, Modjeska
beiDg called before the curtain at the close
of each act, and receiyed quite an ovation.
This evening “Frou-FroU” will be given,
with Madame Modjeska as “Gilberte.*’

lighted up with the reflection from the
flames, and apprehensions were feared
of a very disastrous conflagration. It was
impossible to obtain any correct informa
tion in regar.-J to the fire, though the sup
position was it had been sorted from a

Fire Near the Central Kaitroad
Wharf.
Some time between seven and Bight
o’clock on Sunday night a lot of lumber
piled along the branch track connecting the
Central Railroad with the wharves caught
fire, and a lively conflagration was imminent.
Through the efforts of some parties, who
were summoned to the scene, the fire was
with difficulty extinguished, after about one
hundred dollars worth of lumber had been
destroyed. The lumber belonged to D. C.
Bacon, Esq.,’and was uninsured. The fire,
it is supposed, originated from accident.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
Tlie Board ol Aldermen Organized
That Protest- Legal Views-Mr. de
Montinollln Sworn In—The Stand-
Ins; Committee*.
Yesterday at 12 m. was the time appointed
for the Mayor and new Board of Aldermen,
elected on the 21st inst., to appear in the
Council Chamber, qualify and be sworn in
for the ensuing two years, in consequence
of the well known fact that the seat of Mr.
de Montmollin, one of the elected, was to
be contested by Capt. M. J. Doyle,
on the ground that he was ineligi
ble, there was more than usual
interest felt in the inauguration of
the new city government, and the Coun
eil Chamber was crowded with citizens
some time be'ore the appointed hour, and
anticipations were indulged in regard to
a lively time: and, by the way, the prospect
of liveliness iu anything will always attract
a good audience in Savannah. We were
therefore not surprised to see so large an
array of good citizens present.
Promptly at 12 o’clock the uoore of the
Mayor’s private office were thrown open,
aud the new board, headed by Hon. J. F.
Wheaton, entered the Council Chamber and
took seats at the Council table.
Mayor Wheaton then requested the Clerk
of Council to read the returns of the recent
election, which was done, it appearing that
the following had been elected :
Mayor—J. F. Wheaton. Aldermen—E.
A. Weil, Wm. Duncan, George C. Freeman,
I). G. Purse, Edward Lovell, Henry Blun,
John Schwarz, H. F. Wlllink, J. R. Hamlet,
Thomas Ballanlyne, Daniel O’Connor, and
L. H. de Montmollin.
After the readiugof the returns the Mayor
announced that a protest against Mr. de
Montmollin being sworn had been filed by
Captain M. J. Doyle, and desired to know
what action the members proposed to take.
Mr. Blun moved that the protest be read.
Mr. Freeman desired to know if any ac
tion could be taken before the board was
organized.
Mr. Weil called for an opinion from the
Corporation Attorney on the subject.
Judge Harden arose and stated that it
would not be proper for any action to be
taken in the premises just now, as the gen
tlemen seated at the board were not Aider-
men until they were sworn in aHd qualified,
and suggested as a proper.mode of proced
ure that the Mayor and the members, with
the exception of Mr. de Montmollin, be
sworn in, aud then the consideration of the
protest could be entered upon.
This advice was acted upon, and Mag
istrate Russell, at the request of the Mayor,
administered the oath of oflice to the elected
Aldermen, excepting Mr. Montmollin, and
then to Hon. J. F. Wheaton, as Mayor.
The Mayor then announced that it being
the di sire of the board, the reading of the
protest would be proceeded with.
Mr. de Montmollin arose and said that be
fore the protest was read he desired to make
a few remarks. With all due deference to
the members of the board here assembled,
he must assert his conviction that they had
no power or right to act in the premises, and
no right to hear the protest read : that the
testimony in the matter should be taken be
fore a judicial officer, and the contest de
cided iu court. Respectfully differing with
them, he denied the right of the Mayor and
Aldermen to hear testimony or pass upon
this question, as they had no jurisdictiorfto
pass upon the eligibility or qualification of
their members.
Capt. John M. Guerard representing Capt.
M. J. Doyle, who had received the next
highest number of votes to Mr. de Mont
mollin, and therefore, in the event of his
disqualification, considered entitled to the
seat, took the floor and made some remarks.
The position assumed by Capt. Guerard for
the contestant was, iu substance, that it
was the duty of Council to consider
questions of eligibility of its members; tb it
similarly, as the Governor must pause be
fore issuing a commission, upon receiving
notice of a contest, until he had heard
evidence iii the case, so Council, under
whose supervision the members were sworn
in, when notified of a contest, should pause
and examine. But the certificate of elec
tion issued by the magistrates was not the
certificate referred to in section 1333 of the
Code of 1873, but that the certificate of the
Clerk of Council, with seal attached, was
a certificate, and was the certificate of
the board, the whole transaction being en
tered on the minutes.
The Corporation Attorney being called on
by the board for his opinion, stated in sub
stance that he had found many decisions
that Council could pass upon the eligibility
and qualifications of its members when that
{ tower was specially conferred by its char-
er, but had found no case where a City
Council had ever exercised such power
in the absence of such provision in its charter.
That there was no such provision in the
charter of this city. That be thought Coun
cil could not go behind the certificates of
the magistrates who had presided over the
election, aud had sent iu a certified
list showing who had received the
highest number of votes. The law
declared that the twelve receiving
the highest number of votes were the
Aldermen of the city, and he thought
Council had no power to investigate the
matter, or refuse to allow the persons sc
certified to be sworn iu. If Mr. Doyle was
elected, or dissatisfied, he had a complete
remedy in the courts, iu the nature of a writ
of quo warranto, when the entire matter
could be gone into by the courts, and the
question of Mr. de Montmoljiu’s eligibility
be judicially determined; and if he be ineli
gible, be would be so declared, and the per
son elected, if any, ba inducted into the
office. The Corporation Attorney also said
that the old law by which the candidate re
ceiving the next highest vote was elected
had been repealed by the Legislature in
1872.
Captain Guerard further remarked that
he would suggest C»uncil hear the protest
read, and tfien appoint some future time
for the hearing of testimony or passing upon
the merits of the ease.
After some further discussion upon the
construction of the law and various inter
pretations, the board decided to hear the
protest, whereupon the Clerk of Council
i e id the important document, giving the
following
GROUNDS OF THE CONTEST.
To th-2 Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of
the City of Savannah:
The petition of Michael J. Doyle respect
fully shews th°t );e contests the right of
Louis H. de Montmollin to be an Al.’erman
of the city of Savannah, and protests against
the said Louis II. being sworn and qualified
as such au Alderman, and for cause thereof
your petitioner alleges that the said Louis
II. is not t>y la\y elig^ule to |he c5|ce of
Alderman of Savannah, becau?6—
Tfce said Louis H. is and has for a long
time—to wit: froat the twentieth d$y of
Juae, in the year 1871—been su sittp^ney at
law, admitted to plead and practice as
such in the courts of the tftate of Georgia,
residing iu the city of Savannah, aud trans
acting therein the business of a lawyer.
The Mayor and Aldermen of said city, by
au ordinance regularly passed in Council,
assembled to assess aud levy taxes aud raise
7ey?nue for the city of Savannah for the
year lhSb. enacted that every lawyer
transacting or offering to transact business
shall pay to the said the Mayor and Alder
men a ia<. of twenty-five dollars, and the
said the Mayor an.d Aldermen by an ordi
nance regularly passed by the 6aid the
Mayor and Aldermen in Council assembled
to assess and levy taxes and raise revenue
for the city of Savannah for the year 18f6,
enacted ihat every lawyer transacting or
offering to transact business shall pay to
the said the Mayor and Aldermen a tax of
twenty-five dollars, and the said the Mayor
aud Aldermen by an ordinance regularly
passed by the 6ald the Mayor and Aider-
men in Council assembled to assess and
levy taxes aud raise revenue for the city of
Savannah for the year 1877, enacted that
every lawyer transacting or offering to
transact busmess shall pay to the said the
Mayor anq Aldermen a tax or twenty-five
ayor i
dollars,“arid the said the Mayor and Aider-
men by an ordinance regularly passed by
the said the Mayor and Aldermen in Council
iis^emblpd to assess and Jevy taxes and raise
revenue for the city of Savannah tor tfie
year 1S?8, enacted that every lawyer
transacting or offering to transact business
shall pay to the said the Mayor aud Aider-
men a tax of twenty-five dollars.
That the said Louis H., although
he resided in said city and therein
transacted business as a lawyer during
the years 1875, 1876, 18< < and 1878,
did not pay and has not paid to the said
the Mayor and Aldermen the city taxes,
so as aforesaid, during the said several
years assessed and levied upon his said
business transacted by him as a lawyer, but
pwes to the said the MayoY and Al
dermen ior uajd ta*.ej, one liqndred dol
lars, or other large sum of money.
That on the twenty-first day of Urn pres
ent month of January, an election was held
in the said city for a Mayor and twelve Al
dermen of said city, at which election said
Jaouis H. was one of the twelve persons for
whom votes were cast as Aldermen, who
received the highest number of votes, and
at the time of such election said Louis H.
net p?,id all the city taxes due by him,
as aforesaid, to tne Said the Mayor and Al
dermen, and the said Louis H. had not in
his own right sufficient real estate to satisfy
ail such tares.
The said Louis II. qe Mqntmoliiq qn aqd
before the said twenty-first day of January
in the present month held and continues to
hold, under the Government of the United
States, the office of Commissioner of the
Circuit Court of the United 8tates for the
Southern District of Georgia, and also the
office of Commissioner or Examiner of the
District Court of the United States for the
Southern District of Georgia in Admiralty
cases, which said offices, and each of them,
are offices of profit and trust.
That your petitioner was voted for as an
Alderiuhu Gi oaid cisy at the election afore
said, and then and there received 519 votes,
which is the next highest number of votes
to that received by said Louis H., and your
petitioner is eligible to the said oflice as Al
derman; wherefore your petitioner prays
that the said Louis H. may be declared to
be ineligible to the said office of Alderman,
aud that your petitioner may be declared to
be elected aud may be sworn aud qualified
to 6ueh office. AJ. J. Dojtlb.
[We may state here that at the time the
protest was read, Mr. de Montmollin, ac
cording to the books of the City Treasurer,
had receipts in full for all the taxes due by
him, and also had certified copies of his
resign at ons as United States Commissioner
and Commissioner for Examining Admiralty
cases, etc.)
Argument followed pro and con, the dis
cussion being confined principally to the
powers of the board and their jurisdiction
in the premises, aDd the question as to what
constituted the certificate of election in this
case, whether the returns of the managers
of the election, or the oath of office admin
istered to the Aldermen, and the certificate
of the Clerk of Council, under seal of the
city, to that effect.
The Corporation Attorney here suggested
that Mr. |de Montmollin be heard in his own
behalf.
Mr. de MontmolliD arose and regretting
that the time of the board had been con
sumed in hearing himself discussed, stated
that he would detain them but a few
minutes. Arguments be said were not law,
and if Captain Guerard would cite a single
law to 6how why Council should entertain
this protest and pass upon it he would be
glad to hear it. There was nothing in this
protest, there was not a single portion of it
sworn to, nothing but mere statements, and
he eon^nded it was not right for Council
to consider any attempt having the ten
dency to muzzle the will of the people, and
force upon this community a man who bad
been rejected at the polls.
Further discussion was here stopped by a
motion of Alderman Blun, that Mr. de Mont
mollin be sworn in, as it appeared that Mr.
Doyle could have his remedy in the courts
for*any grievances he may feel.
The motion was seconded and adopted,
and the oath was then adminstered
Aiderman de Montmollin by Magistrate
Russell, and he resumed his seat at the
board.
The Mayor announced that the board was
fully organized and ready for business, and
instructed the Clerk to read the appoint
ments as follows for 1879 of

Montmollin.

De*tructlve Fire at Little Tybee,
Information was received In the city yes
terday that the two-story frame residence on
Little Tybee, occupied by Mr. W. H. Monk,
formerly an operator in the Western Union
Telegraph Company, was destroyed by tire
on Sunday morning. Mr. Monk, with his
family, had come to tl^e ci;^’, leaving ic
charge of the place two negro boys, one of
whom was in the house at the time the fire
occurred. The flames were first discovered
in the roof of the building.having been com
municated by a spark from the chimney,and a
high wind prevailing at the time, they spread
;;4pidly, The boys v ere unable to do any
thing, and in their fright failed to make
any attempt, we understand, to save the
furniture or other contents, which together
with the dwelling were entirely destroyed.
The property belonged to Mr. Thomas
Arkwright and was uninsured. We are in
formed ’hat Mr. Monk had no insurance on
his furniture.
“THE COUNTESS BOZENTA.”
The Palatial Car In Which .Hod-
je«ka and Company Reached Sa
vannah.
The train which arrived yesterday on the
Savannah and Charleston Railroad had at
tached to it a magnificent new palace sleep
ing car “Countess Bozenta,” named in
honor of the fair Polish Countess who
graced the boards of the 8avanuah Theatre
last night, and occupied by that lady and
her company, who as is known have made
the entire trip thus far in this country,
North, West and South, ia this moving
palace.
A number of people were at the depot
yesterday and saw the car when it came in,
aud hundreds will doubtless avail them
selves of the courteous invitation extended
the community to visit it to-day, between
11 and 1 o’clock.
The following description will give a fair
idea of the magnificence of this
PALA.CE ON WHEELS.
The car is seventy feet long, sixteeu feet
high, ten feet in width all over, and weighs
some sixty-two thousand pounds standing
unoccupied. The exterior of the car is de
cidedly attractive, the body being done in
a deep* wine color which is relieved by bor
ders and lines of gold. The name of the
car is to be seen on either side, and on the
ends are “Modjeska Sleeping Car.”
The interior is admirably arranged: has
accommodations for thirty-two persons and
ail necessary conveniences. The private
apartments of Mad. Modjeska are fitted up
in regal style. First, there is the lavatory
and toilet room. It is four by eight and a
half feet, and is superbly fitted up with
silver-plated conveniences, a mirror
eighteen by thirty-six inches, mar
ble wash stand and silver-plated
water tank. A corridor, eighteen inches
wide, leads from the wash or toilet room, on
the left of which is Modjeska’s own elegant
apartment, seven feet square. In the room are
two tete-a-tetes. two chairs, a toilet stand
double berth and four mirrors, one of which
is twenty-four by thirty-six inches, suspend
ed immediately in rear of the toilet stand.
The windows are of etched plate glass. The
whole apartment is rich in detail, sumptu
ous in its surroundings, and as elegant as
the most refined and aristocratic taste could
desire.

Locked Out.
One of our popular county officers yester-
cfcy afternoon left his office fqr a few min
utes, pulling the door behind him, as his as
sistant was also absent. When he returned
and attempted to get In, he discovered
that the latch was down and he had left
his key on the desk inside, consequently
was barred out. This was an awkward pre
dicament, locking one’s self out of his own
office, but there was nothing to do other
than to wait until his assistant returned. In
about half an hour that gentleman made his
appearance, when htj was iqformed of the
situation and asked to produce his key. He
felt in his pocket for the desired article, but
it was not there, and he then remembered
he had hung it on a nail over his desk before
leaving the oflice. The services of a lock
smith had to be obtained and a new key
made before they could get into their oflice.
Excursion Party from the AYc*t.
A large party of ladies and gentlemen,
numbering about forty, arrived from Detroit
yesterday by the Savannah and Charleston
Road, and are registered at the Marshall
House until this afternoon, when
they will leave by the fine steamer C«*-y c£
Bridgeton ior Florida. They are under the
care of Messrs. Eberts *fc Hailett, excursion
agents, of Detroit, who are well up in the
business, and will be sure to show the party
the beauties of the L^nfl pf Pluwevs.* Wo
uaderotaud Mr. H. A. Callum, General
Ticket Agent of the Georgia and Florida
Inland Steamboat Company, will take the
party to Bonaventure this morning.
Counterfeit Dollar.
A counterfeit on the silver dollar, not the
trade dollar, is in circulation in this city. A
noticeable feature about the counterfeit is
that the 2? of the E Pin ribas Unum is blurred
and looks like a star, also the U, the begin
ning of litujThe cojn 1-: ab ut qnp-
efghthlesfe in Weight tqan’ the"genuine, and
has a very dull riqg about it. A gentleman
on a visit here frqm Hershman’s Rake,
kcriven county, says that a uumber of
these spurious coins aco in circulation iu
that county, and that counterfeit quarter
dollars and halves are numerous. The coin
after being used some tim£ has a dark ap
pearance. Look out for them.

Interesting Facts.
Id looking over the statistics of cham
pagne importations for the year just ended,
we find the astonishing fret that out of an
entire importation of 126,1349 cases, one
brand, G. H Mumm Co., is represented bv
35,906 cases, exceeding its largest competi-
ioi* by over 16,0u0 cases. This, in a time

Planter* Hotel.
7b my many friends and the traveling public:
In consequence of the great reduction in
all the staples of our country, I have con
eluded to reduce my rates of board to $1 50
and $2 per day, according to location of
rooms.
Special accommodations for families and
commercial travelers. My table shall not
be excelled by any In the South, and will
constantly be supplied with selected Boston
beef. The hotel has recently undergone
thorough repairs, and been newly furnished
and made complete in all its appointments.
Courteous clerks and attentive servants.
When you visit 8avannah do not fail to
call at the Planters, as I am determined that
this hotel shall not be excelled by any in the
South, regardless of price.
Thanking you for past favors, and hoping
for a continuance of the same,
I am, very respectfully,

Everything in the Grocery & Liquor Line
AT VERY LOW PRICES !
The IludftoiiK Ahead.
For five cents you cm buy a Hudson
cigar, the best five-eeqt^igar made. Thus
supplied you can smoke. Smoking implies
wisdom (so does buying Kolb’s cigars).
Wisdom is allied to fortitude, from fortitude
it is but one step to stoicism, and a stoic
will never pant for this world’s goods. So
call at Kolb’s, No. 121 Broughton street,
near Bull street, and buy the Hudson cigar
and be happy. A box of these cigars will
make an excellent Christmas present.

Shall the Army be Increased t
General Sherman desires an army or
ganization on the plan of those of European
governments. Plenty of soldiers mean
heavy taxes, and we don’t think our people
care to increase their expenses to gratify
the military vanity of a few men. In fact
economy is the order of the day, and Meyer,
at 35 Whitaker street, leads the van and
sells the best cigars for the least money.
