Tlie Swedish Vocal Quartet.
This musical organization made their first
appearance at the Theatre last evening to a
fair audience, who were highly entertained
and delighted. It is seldom that our com
munity have the opportunity of hearing con
certed vocal music to compare with the
exquisite singing of this quartette. Their
training is superb, aud the modulation and
accord are so perfect, and apparently with
out effort, that their songs give a new and
marvelous pleasure to the ear.
The entire programme was well given and
the entertainment was a most enjoyable
treat for the appreciative ones. This after
noon a matinee will be given for the special
benefit of ladies and children, and to-night,
their last appearance, there will be an entire
change of programme.

M. Mallette regetted to hear of his death,
which occurred yesterday morning in

Macon, Ga., and served his time at the book
binder’s trade with Messrs. J. W. Burke &
Co., of that city. For the past three years
he had been employed in the Morning News
Blank Book Manufactory, and was highly

A Dangerous Thief.
Mention was made in the Morning News
of the arrest on Tuesday night of John Jack-
son, colored, on the charge of stealing a pair
of sh ies from the store of Mr. A. S. Nichols,
Broughton street, and attempting to cut
Mr. D. F. Maxwell whoeddeavored to arrest
him. Yesterday morning John was arraign
ed in the Police Court before Mayor Whea
ton. who, after a statement of the case, en
tered a fine of $25 or thirty days. We are
informed that Jackson' remarked he didn't
care much for the thirty days and that when
he got out again he iutended direful injury
to Mr. Maxwell, thus showing that he is a
dangerous troopftr and should be looked
after.
By Alderman Blun—
Whereas, The city of Savannah bonds
engraved by Messrs. A. Cohen & Co., of
Baltimore, have the following defects:
1. The bond is called compromise, while
in sections I. aud VI. of the ordinance of
December 17th, 1878, it is distinctly express
ed that the new bonds, being free from mu
nicipal taxation and receivable for all dues
to the city of Savannah, the corporate
authorities deem the same the equivalent of
the old bonds.
2. The registry as called for in section I.
of the ordinance is not mentioned in bond,
and the validity of registry on back of bond
without the provisions in body of the bond,
is questionable.
3. The execution of the coupons is faulty.
Be it therefore
Resolved, That a special committee of
thn: be appointed by His Honor the Mayor,
whose duty it shall be to prepare the form
of a bond without these objectionable and
useless matters,and report their doings in the
premises at as early a time as possible to a
special meeting of Council, to be convened
to consider the adoption of said form of
bond.
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this
Couueil that the act of the Legislature and
the ordinances of the city be referred to in
the usual manner in said bond, but that the
printing of them in full should be dispensed
with.
Alderman Purse moved that the resolu
tion dc laid on the table for the present,
which was seconded and put to a vote and
was lost.
Alderman Purse stated that he would call
for the ayes and nays, but desired first to
state why he moved to lay on the table; that
confusion would be prevented possibly by a
statement from the Finance Committee
when miscellaneous business was reached.
Alderman Lovell was in favor of the reso
lution laying over, as he desired to give the
matter more attention.
Alderman Blun stated that, according to
the order of business, reports of committees
followed theaccouuts, but the Finance Com
mittee had not submitted a report on this
matter as he had expected, and hence he had
introduced his resolution. If, however, the
Chairman of the Finance Committee were
prepared to make a report on the subject,
he had no objection to the resolution layiDg
over for the present.
Alderman Purse—Has not the Chairman
of the Finance Committee been found always
prepared to report when called upon ?
The discussion here closed for the present,
and the resolution was temporarily laid
over.
Alderman de Montmollin offered a reso
lution in reference to construing the section
of the tax ordinance regarding the tax
placed upon telephones used for private
purposes by business firms, which, after
some discussion, was withdrawn, and an or
dinance covering the 6arae ground will be
presented.
By Alderman Blun—
Resolved, That the jurisdiction of the City
Court of Savannah be increased in common
law cases the same as in the Superior Court,
aud that the City Attorney be directed to
draw up an act to be presented for passage
at the next session of tho Legislature.
After some little discussion in reference
to the power of Council in the premises, the
resolution was referred to the Finance Com
mittee.
A Sneak Tblel Captured.
About half past one o’clock yesterday af
ternoon, a colored trooper named John
Flower, whilst passing along Bay street near
Whitaker, noticed a fine tub of butter on
the sidewalk in front of the store of Messrs.
M. Ferst & Co. The opportunity to 6teal
being apparently favorable, he snatched up
the tub and started off, but was fortunately
seen by Mr. Jake Einstein, one of the em
ployes” who gave chase. Flower fled up
-Whitaker street to Bay lane, turning into
which he threw* the tub under the side stair
way of the Morning News building. He
was not rapid enough, however, and the tub
of butter was not only recovered, but John
was arretted and carried to the barracks.

held last evening at the armory of the Jas
per Greens, for the purpose of considering
measures in relation to the celebration of
St. Patrick’s day.
After an interchange of views, on motion
of Mr . P. W. .Meldrim, a resolution was
adopted recommending the appointment of a
committee of five from each of the several
societies to meet at the Jasper Greens Hall
on Wednesday evening next, 26th inst., to
make the necessary arrangements for the
event.
The Abandoned Barit.
The bark Lord Raglan, Captain Withers
whose abandonment at sea is noticed in our
noon disDatches, was cleared from Savan
nah ou Jauuary 13th, with a cargo of 3,300
barrels of rosin, valued at $7,17S, aud sailed
for Liverpool January 15th. The cargo was
furnished by Messrs. Peacock, Hunt 3c Co.,
for account of other parties, and it is underr
stood was insured. The vessel was about
twenty-five years old.
THE GREATEST BLESSING.
A simple, pure, harmless remedy, that
cures every time, and prevents disease by
keeping the blood pure, stomach regular,
kidneys and liver active, is the greatest
blessing ever conferred upon man. Hop
Bitters is that remedy, and its proprietors
are being blessed by thousands who have
been saved and cured by it. Will you try
it ? See other column,
f eb20-Th ,8,Tu«fe wlm
argument, and if it were not for insur
mountable objections would readily aerec
with it. He contended that Wilson, Colston
& Co., of Baltimore, were the only parties
who had actually 6een the printed bonds,
and their reply had been read. The
speaker objected to the public proclamation
of Savannah's misfortune for thirty
years. He then read a copy of the petition
which had been in circulation here for sev
eral days, and the Indorsement and opinions
of prominent lawyers, large bondholders
and business men, in which strong ground
was taken against the printing of the ordi
nance and act, and favoring only a reference
to the terms.
Alderman Purse followed with the re
mark that it was an easy thing to get a
petition signed. Many persons signed peti
tions without knowmg what they were about.
He would not say this was so" in reference
to all who signed the petition just
read, but he had met some since who bad
told him they would not have signed it had
they known the other side. Some further
documents were read from other citizensap
proving the form. So far as the alleged shame
and degradation of Savannah are concerned,
there was no need for any especial champion
at this board; they were all elected to pro
tect and guard the interests and honor
of the city; all were equally interested in
preserving them. He did not think there was
anything to be ashamed of in an honorable
compromise of their debt. The reference
would occasion more notoriety than the
printing of the entire ordinauee and act on
the back, and would be read doubtless by
man}*, but the knowledge that it was there
would soon extinguish all curiosity and
it would soon be forgotten.
Alderman de Montmollin desired to say a
few words. He thought they would be re
creant to their duty, to the interests they
were deputized to guard if they allowed
this bond to be approved with its imperfec
tions. It would be remembered that when
Alderman Warmer, of the old board, intro
duced his famous “repudiation” resolu
tions and asserted that the city wa6 unable
to pay its bonded debt, considerable com
motion was created, and that Board of
Aldermen, through its Chairman of Finance,
Alderman Purse, declared that the city
could pay one hundred cent6 on the dollar.
Aldermau Purse—You had better show
that, sir, right here, before you go further.
Alderman de Montmollin—I will take
pleasure in producing the minutes of Coun
cil at some other meeting. Some time after
that a committee was appointed to look into
the affairs of the city. They asked for t'me
and time was granted them. Time passed
and your Honor went to New Y'ork and of
fered the creditors fifty cents on the dollar.
Mayor—No, sir ; my visit was only to dis
cuss the measure.
Alderman de Montmollin—Very well, your
Honor; you went there to discuss It. Time
passed, and the city’s creditors consented to
take a new bond at five per cent., and that
compromise was declined over the signature
of D. G. Purse as Chairman of the Finance
Committee.
Alderman Purse—No such proposition was
made.
Alderman de Montmollin—At some other
meeting I will read it from the minutes.
Alderman Purse—The proposition made
on December 10(h, 1S77, was reported in the
Morning News of the 13th, and is tlie only
offer that has been made, except the one of
last year, which was accepted and upon
which this bond is based. He then read
that proposition and the present ordinance.
Alderman de Montmollin then continued
his discussion, advancing strong argu
ments a favor of eliminating the fea
tures from the bond which in his opinion
were objectionable. He declared that
these bonds were more valuable than the
old ones which were to be surrendered
for them, and when once put on the
market it w*ould be found that they would
have a ready sale and be sought after.
Alderman Purse—I hope they will.
Alderman de Montmollin—I hope so, too.
After some further remarks Alderman de
Montmollin took his seat, when Aldorm&n
Purse stated that one thing had been broach
ed during this discussion to w hich he de.-ired
to reply, but the hour was late aud he would
be compelled to forbear.
He was the only one left of the original
committee who had charge of this compro
mise from the commencement, and upon his
shoulders were laid all the sins and errors
that may have been committed.
Alderman Blun—I call the gentleman to
order. There has been no attempt to person
ally reflect—
Alderman Purse—I call the gentleman to
order. I am not referring to you at all but
to Aldermau de Montmollin.
Alderman de Montmollin—Pardon me,
but I did not refer to you personally, but—
Alderman Purse—I did not consider it a
personal matter.
Alderman Purse then continued at some
length to explain some features of the first
movement to compromise the indebtedness.
Alderman Duncan thought from what lie
had heard that there had been considerably
more talk about it than was requisite, as
after all it appeared to be a matter of taste,
and in what manner the question was de
cided, there would be some dissatisfied.
Aldermen Hamlet and Schwarz desired
further time for consideration before voting.
Alderman Weil thought enough hail been
said, and desired that the question should
be settled now.
Alderman Purse offered a substitute that
the whole matter be referred to the Finance
Committee in conjunction with the Mayor
and with power to act. The substitute was
lost.
On motion of Alderman Duncan the
original resolutions were then taken up to
be voted on seriatim.
Pending a vote, Alderman Purse moved
an adjournment until eight o’clock to
morrow night, w T hen the boud matter would
be specially considered.
The ayes and naves were called for, and
the motion was adopted by 6 to 5.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Alderman Purse here arose, and, after
reading the resolution passed by Council in
structing the Finance Committee to have
the new bonds engraved, stated that the
resolution was passed during his absence
from the city. The Committee on Finance,
after consideration, found that the expeuses
of engraving were far in excess of litho
graphing, and, by authority of the resolu
tion, had lithographic copies of the bond
takeD, and a sample he held in his hand.
In consequence, however, of some difference
of opinion In regard to the form of the
bond, and the committee having gone to the
extent of the resolution, had now decided
to recommit the entire matter to the con
sideration of Council.
The copies of the bonds were then dis
played for the inspection of the Aldermen,
when Alderman Blun again called for the
reading of his resolution, which he stated
w r as framed to meet this very matter. He
contended that a fair equivalent having been
given tbe creditors in relieving these
bonds of all taxes, on consideration of a re
duction of the interest, that it was not a
compromise bond. Again, there was another
great fault In this boud. There was no pro
vision for the registry of the bonds. He
would therefore call for tue question on his
resolution.
Alderman Purse hoped that the call for
the question would not be insisted on, as
debate would thereby be cut off.
Alderman Blun waived his point, and Al
derman Purse then took the floor and gave
a complete history of the Finance Commit
tee’s action in preparing the bonds, showing
careful revision with the determination of
deciding upon a bond that would be accept
able to everybody. After the adoption of
the forth, and before the boud was
submitted to the old Council, he
carried the bond to every broker in the city,
and asked their criticism and opinion,
among them Mr. Blun, now Alderman Blun,
who was apparently pleased with it, and
made no objections. He may have given it
only a casual examination, but he was then
evidently satisfied with it. After the form
had undergone this home examination and
criticism, he forwarded copies of it to the
city’* creditors in New York, Charleston,
Augusta and elsewhere, asking their opinion,
aud received in most instances favorable
replies. After some further remarks on the
subject, Alderman Purse then proceeded to
read copies of his letters addressed to
Eugene Kelly, Esq., of New Y'ork, and his
reply to the effect that the majority of
bondholders prefer to have the full contract
on the back of the bond, rather than a mere
reference to it. Wiisou, Colston & Co.,
bankers of Baltimore, replied that they
considered the new bond better without the
ordinance or act; Capt. Joseph Ganahl, of
Augusta, considered there was no use in hav
ing the ordinance printed ou the back of the
bond, as it marred its beauty and added
nothing to its validity. H. H. DeLeon,
Esq., of Charleston, replied: “By all means
print contract, etc., all the information you
can; bonds have teen seen and give satisfac
tion.” George Parsons, Esq., representing %
large bond interest, is strongly in favor of
having the ordinance and act printed on
the bond, Captain John M. Guerard
was satisfied writh the form of
the bond. After this presentation
of the bond matter as it now stands, Aider-
man Purse said he had been personally in
different in regard to the printing of the
ordinance, etc., but with the expressed
opinion of the large majority of the city’s
creditors before them, he thought that
Council should very carefully weigh the
matter before making any change. The
subject was an important one and affected
the city’s Interest In a great degree.
Alderman Blun here arose and stated that
he was fully impressed with the remarks of
Alderman Purse and felt the weight of his
Language may be concisely characterized
as the gift of God and the glory of man.
It not being my present purpose to enter
upon a philosophical or historical discussion
of its origin, it may be sufficient to speak of
it as a good gift from a|pve, coming down
from the Father of lights. The grandest
conception of the ideal man viewed him as
the word of God. Redemption was the di
vine thought: and the Redeemer was the di
vine expression. Omitting second causes,
then, and saying nothing upon the hy
potheses of imitative sounds and develop
ment from one parent tongue, we praise
God from whom all blessings flow as the au
thor of language.
This gift of speech, which we had almost
styled unspeakable, is the peculiar distinc
tion of the human species. We may have
heard other animals talk, but their language
was merely an unintelligent, if not unintel
ligible, mimicry of human sounds. For
example, we once heard of a wonderful
talking fish; and who has not read of a cer
tain raven that croaked “nevermore !”
Magpies and parrots are synonyms of what
Plato calls those “two-legged animals with
out feathers,” who jabber aud chatter with
out much meaning, method or mind. A
good 6tory is told of a parrot owned by the
late Henry Alford, Dean of Canterbury.
One day, when a large company were as
sembled at the deanery, “Pretty roily” was
missing. A search began, everyone joining
in the quest. When found, the truant
was perched on a bough of a large tree,
and as the exploring party gathered around
she solemnly exclaimed, “Let us pray!”
a pious utterance which she must have
Jieard many a time at domestic devotions.
Another parrot story comes from Chicago.
During the great tire of 1871 a certain
householder, in fleeing from the devouring
flames,-had to face the alternative of aband
oning the family Bible or the family parrot.
The decision being in favor of the precious
book, the parrot uttered the dolorous cry :
“Good Lord, deliver us.” I scarcely need
say that the prayer was immediately granted
in the sacrifice of the Bible and the salvation
of the bird. But, although birds aud fishes
may talk In their w ay ; though on one occa
sion (only one) God is said to have spoken
through an ass; though there may be, ac
cording to Shakespeare, “tongues in trees,”
and, according to Coleridge, “the swelling
of the voiceful sea;” and though the in
genious may invent talkiDg machines, man
is withal the only true talker, the only be
ing who can render “thoughts that breathe”
into “words that burn.” Neither the irra
tional animal nor the inanimate automaton
will ever share with the lords of creation
their prescriptive prerogative of speech.
None but the sons and daughters of men
are eligible to membership in the world’s
parliament, or universal palaver, as Carlyle
would call it: none others can offer their
motions and amendments, their ayes and
noes ou orders of the day, and general
questions affecting the laws and govern
ment of the world. Quintilian, the Roman
rhetorician, says: “God, that all-powerful
creator of nature aud architect of the
world, has impressed man with no charac
ter so proper to distinguish him from other
animals, as by the faculty of speech.” Aud
Frederick von Schlegcl says, with great
truth: “Man, to judge of him by the collec
tive sum of his characteristic aud essential
properties, is nothing else than the created
•vord, the faint echo and very imperfect
copy ot the uncreated and eternal, and
stands amidst the rest of creation, midway
between the world of nature and that of
spirits.” T. n.
Jasper monumental Association.
This association, recently organized in Sa
vannah for the purpose of commemorating
the heroic deeds of the gallant Sergeant
Jasper, is in a flourishing condition, and in
a fair way to an early completion of its
laudable object. The following letter to
the Corresponding Secretary from the pen
of the Hon. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, one
of the editors of the Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist, is an indication of the spirit in
which the proposition of the association i»
received, as well as a credit to the patriotic
impulses of its writer:

J). J. Fuleg, Esq., Corresponding Secretary
(t Jasper Monumental Association,” Savan
nah, Oa
Dear Sir—Your favor of the 12th instant,
informing me of my election as honorary
Vice-President of the Jasper Monumental
Association for the city of Augusta, has
been received.
I cheerfully accept the honorable position
assigned, and wiJi gladly co-operate with
you in the accomplishment of the patriotic
object of the association—the erection of a
monument to the memory of Sergeant Jas
per, who gave up his life that liberty might
find an abiding place ou the American con
tinent—that the oppressed of all nations
might find an asylum and a home under the
protecting :egis of the American Republic.
Jasper is an illustrious and venerable
name. While Ireland claims him as her son,
his fame and his example are bounded only
by the light of civilization—the common
heritage of all people of all nations, who
struggle for self-government, for liberty
against oppression and despotism.
Let the Jasper monument rise to per
petuate the valor of a man who loved
liberty dearer than life. He felt the con
viction that it is sweet aud honorable to die
for one’s country, and this was his country.
He was an exile from home and from
country, but he loved his adopted land
with a patriotic devotion Lbat never waver
ed until his courageous heart was stilled in
death.
While I will gladly co-operate with you
in raising funds for the erection of a Jasper
monument, permit me to suggest that you
enlarge the scope of your association so as
to take in all nationalities in this country.
Jasper lived and died a patriot, therefore
all men who love liberty—who love re
publican government as founded by the
fathers of this republic— will take pleasure
in contributing to the erection of a monu
ment to the memory of Jasper. Yours
respectfully, Patrick Walsh.

James Sikes, a resident of Tatnall county,
was yesterday arrested on a warrant issued
by Magistrate Russell, charging him with
the serious offense of cheating and swin
dling. Mr. Sikes was bringing some
turkeys into the city for sale when he was
encountered on the road, a short distance
from town, by Tobey Lloyd, a colored
man, who proposed to take the entire lot of
twenty-eight pairs at the price demanded,
two dollars per pair, aud as a guarantee of
a bona fide trade, gave Sikes two dollars,
and requested him to wait a short while and
he w’ould return with the balance. After
remaining some time, Sikes became impa
tient at the delay of Tobey in returning and
drove off iuto the city. On reaching here
he met another purchaser, who offered him
two dollars and twenty-five cents per pair
for the entire lot. The offer was accepted,
the money paid and the turkeys
delivered. ” Shortly after, Tobey put in
an appearance prepared to make
the purchase, and was disgusted to find that
notwithstanding his “bonus” the turkeys
bad been sold. He thereupon caused the
arrest of Sikes upon the siugular charge of
cheating and swindling. Several gentlemen
testifying to the good character of Sikes,
and claiming that his violation of the agree
ment was the result of ignorance, the Ma
gistrate ordered his dismissal.
A Change of Price*—An Annoying
TliftCake.
Savannah, February 19.—Editor Morning
News; Please oblige me by publishing in
to-morrow’s News the following communi
cation :
This evening, accompanied by a couple
of ladies, 1 visited the Theatre, thinking
that I would spend a pleasant evening listen
ing to the concert. Imagine my surprise
when, on reaching the Theatre, I found
the price of admission, which had
been advertised for several days In
your journal and in the circulars
as seventy five cents, to be changed without
any notice to the public to one dollar. On
my inquiring the reason for this 6udden
change, I w as told by the person at the
ticket office that there had been a mistake,
and it took the management three or four
days to find it out; but it was discovered
before anyone was allowed to enter,
although no notice was given concerning the
change. This is a very likely story, and no
doubt many persons were “taken in” by it,
but as for myself, I having just sufficient
change to pay at seventy-five cents, was
obliged to undergo the humilitation of re
turning, which if I had been alone would
have been bad enough, but with ladies mado
it any thing but agreeable.
Hoping that you will publish this for the
information of those who may not know of
the change, I remain, very respectfully.
