“ Warp and Wool’”—A < Siaiming
Story.
The Savannah Weekly News of February
1st, which will be issued to-morrow, will
contain the first chapters of a new and beau
tiful story by Miss R. J. Philbriek, of Savan
nah, entitled “Warp aud Woof.” This is a
story of thrilling interest, and is one of the
best of the serial stories which have appear
ed in the Weekly News, and which have
proven so popular with its thousands of
readers.
Copies of the paper can be obtained at the
news depots and at the counting room of
the Morning News. The talented au
thoress, a resident of Savanuah, has excelled
all former efforts in this story, which we can
assure our readers they will itind beautiful in
language, well constructed in plot, and
worthy the perusal of every one.
The Theatre To-Night — “ Maud
UluIJer.”
This evening the p pular and charming
little actress, Miss Genevieve Rogers, who
created such a favorable impression In Sav-
anunah last sea c on, will appear at our
Theatre, supported by Mr. Frank E. Aiken,
the favorite American actor, and an excel
lent company, in the charming drama of
‘‘Maud Muller.” Miss Rogers’ personation
of ‘*MauQ” has received the highest en
comiums, and has been generally acknow
ledged as perfect. Those who failed to see
her last season should not miss the oppor
tunity now. They may be assured of a
most enjoyable evening, and we would ad
vise lovers of the drama who have not yet
secured seats to call at Bren’s ticket office
without delay.
The Lecture To-Night.
Rev. Timothy Harley will deliver a lec
ture this evening, under the auspicea of the
Youths’ Historical Society, at the Masonic
Temple, commencing at 8 o’clock. The
subject which he has chosen, Judas Macca
beus, is indeed not only interesting, but
very instructive.
A large number of tickets have already
been disposed of, and we feel perfectly safe
in predicting a full house. The committee
have very isely placed the price of admis
sion (twenty-ti e cents) within the reach of
ail in order to give the public the benefit of
the generous oiler of the Rev. Mr. Harley.
We advise all to avail themselves of this
splendid opportunity of passing an enjoya
ble evening.
Fruit* and Vegetables.
We direct attention to the advertisement
in another column of the well known grocer
and importer, Mr. J. B. Reedy, wko an
nounces the receipt of a lkrge cargo
of bananas, sapodillas and tomatoes,
which will be disposed of at the most
reasonable prices. He also has in store a
large quantity of clean cocoanuts, lemons,
potatoes, cabbages, etc. He invites par
ticular attention to his pure Gold Dust,
which is sold at $3 00, and is pronounced an
excellent article. Read the advertisement
and give him a call.
Horae Car* Discontinued on the
Suburban Line.
It will be observed by the advertisement
of the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard
Road,which appears in another column,that
the use of horses- on the suburban line has
been discontinued and steam reintroduced.
This will be gratifying information to the
patrons of the line.' The car leaving the
Exchange at 11 o’clock p. m., which is sufib
a convenience to the theatre-goers, will
continue to make the trip.
“The Last Struggle,”
We have received a very handsomely col
ored lithograph of a drawing, representing
the ‘‘Last Struggle,” an incident of the late
war, which is 18x12, and is an admirable
picture for framing. The original was
drawn bv Mr. E. V. Shaipe, of Augusta, an
artist of considerable talent. Copies of the
lithograph may be seen at Dr. Osceola
Butler’s drug store.

Ail Important Electing—Tlie Factory
to be Sold.
An adjourned meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Arkwright Cotton Factory was
held last evening at the office of Mr. D. R.
Thomgfe, on Bay street, which was very
largely attended. A statement of the affairs
and present condition of the company was
made, and an earnest discussion as to the
best course to pursue followed. After an
interchange of views, the following resolu
tion, offered by Mr. John Ryan, was second
ed and carried :
Ilesc&ved, That the Board of Directors of
the Arkwright Manufacturing Company be
and are hereby authorized to offer for sale
the factory, machinery, laud and other
property of the company to pay its debts,
and that a committee, to consist of Messrs.
Row-land, Haywood, Wells and Thomas,
be appointed and authorized to advertise
aud negotiate the sale, and to report back
to an adjourned meeting for confirmation of
their acts.
Mr. D. R. Thomas offered the following,
which was carried:
Jicsoh'ed, That the Secretary be instructed
to communicate with all absent stock
holders, advising them of the company’s
financial condition and requesting each to
designate an attorney with full authority to
represent them at any future meeting of
stockholders, when the question of selling
the factory may be considered.
No other business of public interest was
transacted, aud the meeting then adjourned.
The Theatre—A Brilliant Engage
ment.
Next week the accomplished and beauti
ful actress, Mrs. Henrietta Chanfrau, sup
ported by a strong combination, will com
mence an engagement of four nights and a
matinee at our Theatre, which promises to
be unusually brilliant. Her repertoire em
braces live of the most popular and success
ful society comedy-dramas now being pro
duced. Mrs. Cbanfrau’s tour this season,
under the management of Clifton W. Tay-
leure, Esq., has been a grand success,
crowded houses welcoming her in every
city. A St. Louis exchange thus notices
her appearance in that city :
“Mrs. Chanfrau is one of the best actresses
on the stage—In her line she is unequaled.
She presents a play which is applauded from
pit to dome, and never fails to win and bold
every auditor's interest and sympathy.
There could be no more pronounced artistic
success than ‘Was She Right?’ has made
here this week. It is a noble drama aud a
strong one. It is a society play without any
of the usual society poison in it. It is pure
and lofty in its conception, and draws its in
terest and power from a higher source than
mere sensation. It leaves no sense of right
or justice unsatisfied in its scope; it makes
no harmful suggestion or impression; and it
possesses an irresistible charm as a dramatic
performance. The play illustrates the
highest and holiest feelings aud impulses of
a mother’s heart, and all mankind feel for
mothers. It is founded in a principle that
cannot die, and speaks with a tongue that
will be heard. ‘Was She Right?’ will one
day be answered by a universal public re
sponse, and those who know its beauties
now will be intensely gratified when they
see their judgment confirmed. Mrs. Chan
frau reveals a power in it which few sus
pected she possessed. She seems to be an
inspired prophetess proclaiming a great
wrong, aud pleading for i^s redress. She
rises above the wrong—transfigured as one
redeemed—and enthrones herself as a true
heroine of her sex.”

Savannah Bond*.
It will be remembered that in the Supe
rior Court on Saturday last the five consoli
dated cases of George R. Curry vs. Mayor
and Aldermen of Savannah, appealed from
Justice Court, were dismissed, with costs to
the defendants. We learn now, from the
Augusta Chronicle anil Constitutionalist, that
Mr. Curry says that he is determined to
fight it out to the bitter end. He has $15,-
000 more of the coupons, and expects to
bring suit on them also. He was satisfied
from the first, he says, that the eases would
finally get into the United States Courts.
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS.
Public Education-—Grand Jury Re
commend Additional Appropria
tions for the School*.
The general presentments of the grand
jury were read in the Superior Court yester
day morning, and the jury were then dis
charged. The various matters of county
interest are intelligently treated, and some
important suggestions and recommenda
tions are made. Among them are the fol
lowing :
the court house.
That the County Commissioners invite
proposals for the erection of a third story
to the court house, or an extension of the
building, and that when the cost of same
is ascertained, the next grand jury authorize
the necessary appropriation.
the jail management.
That some provision be made for the bet
ter accommodation of witnesses committed
to jail who are now confined in the same
cells as the worst criminals, aud also for
lunatics who are similarly treated, and
recommend that the County Commissioners
have a suitable building erected on the jail
lot, which could be done at inconsiderable
cost. Some suggestions are also made in
regard to a better system of keeping the ac
counts of the j ail prisoners.
That as it has been customary for the
County Commissioners to approve the jail
bill against the county without the ex
amination which in the opinion of the jury
is necessary, it is suggested that the clerk
of the Commissioners be requested to write
up each month from the books of commit
ting magistrates and courts the name of
each prisoner and date of entering jail,
and from the records of the court taking
action in the case, ascertain for what time
he or she was confined, and by such registry
verify the jail bill when presented.

The question of public education is one
of more than usual importance and worthy
of the utmost consideration.
Through the action of the late City
Council the appropriation for educational
purposes was $15,000, a decrease of $10,000
ou previous years. We earnestly express
the hope that our municipal authorities
will appreciate the need of making good
this deficiency in the school fund for the
current year and thereby avoid the now
existing necessity of closing the schools on
the first of May next, several months earlier
than usual,which would be very detrimental
to the public interests.
A large portion of some 4,000 children
would be thrown upon the community
without occupation or restraint, who are
now being benefited by instruction and
restrictions incident to attendance at
school.
We especially note the economical man
agement of the schools which, by the report
of the Board of Education, shows the ex
pense to be say at the rate of $11 10 per
capita for the scholars. We would further
call attention to the evidence of a system of
retrenchment by the estimate of expeuses
for the next year showing a reduction of
some $5,000.
We look upon the subject of the educa
tion of our youth as one of vital importance.
YVe therefore recommend for the coming
year the usual appropriation of twenty thou
sand dollars by the county, ami so far as
may be in our province express the sincere
desire that our City Council will also make
the usual appropriation of twenty-five thou
sand dollars, and also make good the exist
ing deficit on this year’s appropriation.
concealed weapons.
The practice of carrying concealed
weapons is earnestly condemned, and parti
cularly their indiscriminate use on public
holidays, and a more rigid enforcement of
the strict law's on the subject is recom
mended.
COMPLIMENT TO JUDGE TOMPKINS.
The following resolution expressive of
the high estimation in which lli3 Honor
TnJnra Tnmnlrlna Ic hplil nml pnnvpvinfr a
Judge Tompkins is held, aud conveying a
neat tribute to his worth and ability as a
judicial officer, was unanimously passed by
the grand jury, to-wit:
Resolved, YVe, the grand jury, would exi
press our sincere regret to learn that
His Honor Henry B. Tompkins has ten
dered his resignation as Judge of this cir
cuit. Appreciating his services during his
term of office as having been eminently
valuable, and his official duties dis
charged with fidelity and zeal, we|
would tender him our assurance of
highest respect and confidence,officially and
personally, and regard his retirement from
the bench as a great loss to the entire com
munity and circuit over which he has so
efficiently presided in his official capacity.
Appeal in Behalf ot the Georgia
Iniirmarv.
The Georgia Infirmary is an institution in
the city of Savannah, having for its objects
the “relief aud protection of aged and af
flicted negroes.”
Having its origin in the benevolent be
quest of Thomas F. YY'illiams, a highly re
spected citizen of Savannah, it was organ
ized and chartered in 1832, aud it continued
in the discharge of its humane purposes to
the close of the Confederate war, In 1865, or
rather, the capture of Savannah in Decem
ber, 1864. Throughout this period of thir
ty-four years the resources of the institution
were ample for all the purposes contemplat
ed, as in the very nature of the institution
of slavery the number of beneficiaries was
small. The close of the war found the cor
poration divested of all its investments from
which its reyenues had been derived, and
possessed only of the area of land, the gift
of Richard F. YY r illiams (brother of the
original benefactor) and its first President.
As a natural consequence of emancipation
the number of “aged and afflicted negroes”
who were without protection and care was
increased far beyond the capacity of any
then existing corporation in the city.
Through the instrumentality, however, of
the Georgia Medical Society, the Georgia
Infirmary aud the City Council of Savannah,
measures were inaugurated for reinvesting
the old corporation of “The Georgia Infir
mary” with the power and funds to fur
ther the objects of the corporation. In this
humane work the trustees were most benefi
cently assieted by the late Edward Padel-
ford, E;q. ? in the gift of $11),000, which
amount, with other funds, w&s immediately
expended in the construction of the existing
Infirmary buildings. This gift of Mr. Padel-
ford was supplemented by other munificent
contributions from Mrs. Charles F. Mills,
Jacob YY’aldburg, Esq., G. B. Lamar, Esq.,
the corporation of the city of Savannah, aud
F. Marquand, Esq., of New York city. So
much of such contributions as the most ju
dicious economy would warrant was duly
invested in the creation of a permanent
fund, from the interest of which the trustees
hoped to derive a revenue for annual expen
ditures. The general impairment of the
value of these securities has depriyed tjie cor
poration of the expected revenues, while
the embarrassed condition of the city’s ex
chequer forbids any furthor appeal for as
sistance to the corporate authorities of the
city of Savannah.
To meet the demands made upon the
trust, created by the increase in the number
of the suffering and afflicted, the Trustees
have been compelled to dispose of most of
the securities, which they had hoped to in
crease, and now have only the annual ap
propriation from the Commissioners of
Chatham county of $l,«oG with which to
meet the annual expenditures of the institu
tion.
Under these circumstances the Board of
Trustees feel it incumbent upon them to
make knqwu tp the public their igability to
relieve the necessities of the “aged and af
flicted” negroes in our community, and to
announce the probability that the humane
trust which has beau committed to their
care must fall far short of its full and just
execution, unless aided by benevolent as
sistance from without.
To this community the cause commends
itself, and we can full well testify to its
many liberal deeds of charity, and we ap
preciate at this juncture the depressed con
dition of our section, which compels the
willing hand to withhold its gifts, and there
fore cannot ask nor expect such liberal aid
as we feel assured would otherwise be given
iu answer to our appeal.
YY’ithout some assistance, our good work
must eease, and the suffering and afflicted
inilst remain uurelieved, and the number of
{Bern bp vastly increased. In our extremity,
we must call upon yoq, fellow-citizens, that
according to your means you will come over
and help us.
To meet the appeals as now made upon
us, we require for our annual expenditure
between four and five thousand dollars, less
the annual appropriation of $1,500 contrib
uted by the County Commissioners. YVe
appeal, therefore, to the charity of the
whole country in behalf of our charge, and
espectfulJy ask from our fellow-citizens
their kind consideration of our nec essities.

In the Morning News of Tuesday ap
peared a brief telegram from YY’ashington
announcing that the case of the State vs.
the Atlantic and Gifff Railroad had been
Mecided by the Supreme Court of the United
States in favor of the State, to taxing rail
roads in' Georgia. This decision is of im
portance*and a history of the cases will be
read with great interest. The following
particulars furnished a reporter of the At
lanta Constitution by Major R. N. Ely,
Attorney General for the State, are deemed
correct and give a complete review of the
TAXING RAILROADS.
The Important Cases Against the
Atlantic and Guil Railroad De
cided In the United States Supreme
Court.
cases :
“The Atlantic and Gulf Railroad,as it now
stands, is composed of two roads—the Sa
vannah and Albany and Gulf Railroad and
the Atlantic and Gulf Riilroad. The first of
these was incorporated in IS47. By the
original act of incorporation the road was
granted all the rights, privileges and immu
nities of any other roafi in the State. This
provision was afterwards claimed as an ex
emption from any rate of taxation different
from that imposed ou the Central and Geor
gia Railroad?. The Atlantic aud Gulf Road
was incorporated in 1856. Its charter grant
ed to it the same rights, privileges and im
munities as those enjoyed by the Central
and Georgia Railroads. The main benefit of
these privileges was in the fact that the
roads were then only taxed on their net in
come and were exempted from taxation on
their property. On the 18th of April, 1863, an
act was passed consolidating the stocks of
the two roads named above. The consoli
dated company was known as the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad Company. Now in the
Code which went into effect January 1st,
1863, there is a provision that iu all cases of
private charters thereafter granted the
State reserves the right to withdraw any
franchise granted unless the power so to do
be negatived in the charter. Matters went
on smoothly until the passage of the tax act
of 1874 which has occasioned all these
big railroad suits. That act instead of tax
ing the net income of the roads imposing a
tax on all the property held by railroads
required the Presidents thereof to give
it in just as citizens return their property
for taxation. Then the trouble began. In
1874 the Comptroller General began issuing
tax fi. fas. against the roads for taxes for
that year, though they claimed exemption
by their charters from all tax save that on
their net income. Among the fi. fas. so
issued were those against the Atlantic and
Gulf Railroad Company for $32,764 70. By
the law of the State such executions in case
of contested validity were made returnable
to Fulton Superior Court. So this case
came before Judge Hopkins. The position
of the State was that the act of consolida
tion made a new corporation. As the con
solidation occurred iu the April after the
January on which the Code of 1863 went
into effect, the new corporation was liable
to the law which provided for the with
drawal of franchises by the State in cases
where the express provisions of a charter
did not forbid it. Judge Hopkins heard the
case on an agreed statement of facts, and
decided it in favor of the State. An app
was taken to the Supreme Court, and Judge
Hopkins’ decision was sustained. Counsel
for the plaintiffs iu error then took the
ease to the Supreme Court of the United
States on a writ of error, and it went
on the docket as No. 103. This is
the course by which the first case went up.
Now as to the second case, which was based
on a tax fi. fa. for about $9,000 issued against
the road for taxes for the year 1875. This
case was tried by Judge Peeples in the same
manner as the other had been by Judge
Ilopkius. Just before, this the Supreme
Court of the United States had decided
the tax cases of the Central Road adversely
to the State, and Judge Peeples ruled
against the State. The case went up to the
Supreme Court and was argued at the Janu
ary term, 1877, by General Toombs ami At
torney General Ely for the State. The Su
preme Court reversed Judge Peeples, and
then this second case went up ou a writ of
error to the Supreme Court of the United
States, where it took its place on the docket
as No. 772. On the 23d of last December
the first case came up in its order and the
Supreme Court consolidated the two as the
same issue was made on them. The two
cases were there argued together on the 23d
and 24th of last December before the Su
preme Court of the United States.
“For the State appeared General Toombs
and Attorney General Ely. while the plain
tiffs in eiTor were represented by Colonel
Robert Falligant and Judge YY\ S. Chisholm,
of Savannah. The Attorney General had
studied the cases long and arduously, and
presented the points in an able brief. Gen
eral Toombs made one of his great argu
ments. The Supreme Court has had the
matter in hand ever since, and only yester
day was the decision rendered. The news
was received at the capitol with gratifica
tion. In the decision of the two cases is
involved over $41,000, not including the
interest on it. Fi. fas. against the Atlantic
and Gulf Road for taxes for the years
1876 and 1877 have been issued, but the
road went into the hands of the mortgagees
in 1876, and these fi. fas. have never been
levied, as the road has been in the control
of a receiver nearly ever since they were
issued. Of course the decision yesterday
delivered settles the principle of all the
cases against this road. There may be some
points of difference between these and the
cases against other roads in Georgia. All
the fi. fas. against the Atlantic and Gulf
Railroad will amount to about seventy thou
sand dollars, including interest due. The
decision of this famous case will be of in
terest to the people of the entire State,”
Superior Court.
Hon. Henry B. Tompkins, Judge, presiding.
Court met at 10 o’clock a. m. yesterday,
when the following business was disposed of;
State vs. Joa6ph Way, convicted of mur
der ou the 28th instant. Sentence of court
passed upon the defendant confining him iu
the penitentiary for life in conformity with
the verdict of the jury.
James J. YY’aring vs. Wm. P. Carmichael.
Bill for injunction, relief, etc. Temporary
restraining order granted and rule nisi re
quiring defendant to show cause on Satur
day next why the injunction should not
issue as prayed for.
The grand jury rendered the following
bill, and after rendering their general pre
sentments they were discharged for the
term, with the thap^s of the court, and
with a graceful acknowledgment from
Judge Tompkins for the feelings expressed
for him personally in a resolution adopted
bv the grand jury, and which appears else
where:
State vs. Wm. Bouhan. Assault with in
tent to murder. True bill.
After the transaction of the above busi
ness, His Honor Judge Tompkins being dis
qualified to preside upon the trial of the
case below stated, he having been coun
sel for plaintiff, he vacated the bench,
ja TT:_ - iir™ T'. TT 1 Y.. ,1 „»
and His Ijonor YY f m. D. Harden, judge of
the City Court, presided during the trial of
the same.
F. J. Spain, administrator, etc., vs. YV. J.
Clements et al. Case. The trial of the ease
occupied the entire day up to 7 o’clock p.
m. The jury rendered the following verdict
at 7:30 o’clock:
“We, the jury, find for the plaintiff the
sum of fifteen hundred dollars, with interest
from November 9, 1867, to date.
“Tnos. A. Maddox, Foreman.”
It is a suit on the official bond of Mr.
Clements given as Clerk of the Superior
Court. In the spuing of 1373 Mr. Spain,
having a judgment against Mr. Adam Duten-
hofer, issued summons of garnishment to
Messrs. YY\ Cumming Co., and this gar
nishment was dissolved by Mr. Clements,
then Clerk of the Court, having accepted a
bond of Mr. putenjiofey upon which his
wife was surety. The bond was held to be
worthless at the spring term, 1874, and Mr.
Clements was sued by Mr. Spain for im
properly accepting it. Under the rulings of
the court yesterday, the jury found a ver
dict against Mr. Clements and his bondsmen
for the amount of the original judgment of
Spain vs. Dutenhofer, with interest from the
date of its rendition.
At 7:30 p. m. court adjourned until 10 a.
m. to day.
OUR FACES.
The human face is not only “the index of
the soul.” Every bodily sensation leaves
its indelible impress upon the features.
Every human face, if 6iudied attenth ely,
reveals the physical and mental history of
its possessor. On the crowded street of the
city what volumes o? theso histories are
open to ail who would search them ’ The
miser with his features drawn as tightly as
the mouths of his money bags: the de
bauchee with his sensual, semi-animal face;
the young man with the future fair and
broad before him, every line of his counte
nance revealing energy and ambition; the
maiden’s face bright with innocent love and
hope. Each of these face-histories is as
legible as the printed page before you. But
there are other faces in which we may read
sad histories—faces of work-weary women
to whom living has become an irksome bur
den. The fatal alphabet of disease is written
upon every line of their countenances. YY'hv
will these women suffer from those painful
diseases and weaknesses peculiar to tUe'aex,
losing besides the cuarm and beauty oi a
bright, beautiful face, whep Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription is a sure and effectual
