Imporlaut Kuilne lu Bankruptcy.
Many bankrupt cases are lingering In the
U. S District Courts in Georgia because the
applicants despair of showing that the
assets equal (30) thirty per centum of claims
proved against the estate. We refer to
cases In voluntary bankruptcy, affected by
section “5,112 A,” of the act.
On yesterday, in the case of James A.
Thornton, Senior, of Stewart coun'y, volun
tary bankruptcy, Messrs. Garrard and Mel
drim, solicitors for the bankrupt, applied
for discharge, and made the point that If
su;h fact was to be a bar to discharge, credi
tors must appear, show cause, and tiie ppcci
fieitlons as lu any other matter of objection
to a discharge.
.4is Honor Judge Er^kine, after hearing
argument, ruled that creditors must allege
in iheir spt c fications objections as to in
sufficiency of assets if they desired to pre
vent discharge on this ground, so that Lsues
could be made thereon and regularly tried;
and that this bankrupt was entitled to o;s
charge—r.o objections being filed.
This ruling will affect a large number of
cases now in our District Courts.

Mayor.
Present: His Honor the Mayor, Chairman
of Connell Weil, Vice Chairman Willink,
Aldermen Purse, Schwarz, Blun, Mont-
mollln, Duncan, Hamlet, Ballantyne and
O’Connor.
The Mayor stated that the meeting had
been called at the request of the Corpora
tion Attorney, who desired instructions In
regard to the injunction that had been ap
plied for against the city concerning the
registration law.
Alderman W'cil moved that in the opinion
of the board the registration law is consti
tutional, and that the Corporation Attorney
be instructed to resist the bill now applied
for, and to employ additional counsel in the
defense of tbe case.
Alderman Duncan moved an amendment
that he be also instructed to prepare a paper
in rebuttal of the statements contained in
the bill for injunction. [The bill was pub
lished in full in the Morning News of yes
terday.]

ney, stated that he desired it to be distinct

tion for additional counsel. He believed
that he could take care of the case himself.
If, however, the board chose to give him
legal assistance he would cheerluliy accept
the co-operation of the counsel they might
select. He desired it on record that he had
asked for no assistance.
Alderman Well responded that he had
offered the resolution with no intention of
intimating that the Corporation Attorney
was not fully competent to manage the case,
or that he bad asked assistance. - The ca-ie,
however, wa3 a very important one, and he
thought that the additional counsel should
be secured and help given the Corporation
Attorney.
Alderman Blun desired to know of the
Corporation Attorney if he considered the
law constitutional. If it was unconstitu
tional It was the duty of every citizen to
have it so declared. If it was not, and tbe
Corporation Attorney felt that he needed
no assistance in defending the case, he saw
no occasion for going to the expense of em
ploying counsel.
The Corporation Attorney said, of course
he was of the opinion that the law was con
stitutional. He could not say, however, in
what light the Supreme Court would view
it, and that the matter would have to be
settled by the court. With the lights be
fore him. in bis judgment the law was con
stitutional.
Alderman Montmollin proposed to get
the matter In shape before the board, so it
could be intelligently considered. Aider-
man Weil had offered a resolution that the
Corporation Attorney be Instructed to pre
pare an answer to this bill; that the Mavor
and Aldermen desire to resist It, and de
clare, in their opiuion, the law constitu
tional. Now, for the other branch of the
resolution, that associate counsel be em
ploy id, he would emphatically assert his
belief that It was unnecessary The Corpora
tion Attorney had very distinctly stated that,
lu his judgment, the law was constitutional,
and that he was perfectly able to take care
of tbe case in the courts, and yet
the Alderman offt-rs a resolution incurring
expenre in the employment of add:ttonal
counsel. II ? had faith in the abil
ity of the Corporation Attorney ‘o manage
the case, snd he could discover no right
or power in this board to take money from
the tax payers to employ assistant counsel
for the Corporation Attorney, which that
officer stated he did not need. If the Cor
poration Attorney had 6aid there were many-
difficult and Intricate questions involved,
snd had expressed any doubt on tbe sub
ject, and D'ked for a sistance, tbe case
would be different. He was, therefore,
oppojid to this portion of the resolution.
The Mayor here stated that Mr. Kebarer,
Clerk of Connell, desired to make a state
ment if it met the consent of the board.
Permhsion was granted, and Mr. Rebarer
said that there were certain allegations in
the bill of injunction In reference to him
self that were untrue, aud—
Alderman Purse objected to any further
statement from the Clerk, unless under
oath.
Alderman Duncan saw no impropriety in
allowing the Clerk to make a statement to
this board not under oath, and moved that
he be permitted to proceed.
Alderman Purse again objected, and said
that the Clerk of Council proposes to rise
here and make statements, not under oath,
denying allegations made by tuch a reputable
citizen as Capt. John McMahon under uatb.
What nght had he to make statements, not
under oath, reflecting upon the sworn affi
davit of a gentleman like George W. Lamar,
and a well known ciUzen and large tax payer,
D. R. Thomas, and other prominent citizens
who had sworn to the statements contained
In the bill? It was not right that un
unsworn Etatsment should go to tbe
public, when they have not opportu
nity to combat it. If tbe Clerk of Coun
cil bad any reply to make to these allega
tions, he could do so in tbe court, where the
case now was. He appealed to the justice
of this board not to allow the honorof these
gentlemen (complainants in this bill) to be
impeached wit boat redress, and by a state
ment not made under oath.
Alderman Duncan saw no connection; the
statements made by the gentlemen named
were under oath In tbe Superior Court. In
this case Mr. Rebarer, Clerk of Council,
only desired to make a statement to the
board, aud be saw no objection to bis being
allowed to dp so without being placed under
oath.
Alderman Blun moved an amendment
that all the parties concerned be summoued
before C luncil.
Alderman Duncan said this wa > no trial of
the case; that came before the courts. Mr.
Rebarer desired to make a statement to this
board, and he renewed bis motion that he be
given permission.
Alderman Purse said the case was already
in tbe courts, and*the board should bz&r no
statement from any one.
The question was callud on Alderman
Duncan f s resolution, and a vote taken,
when the ayes and nays were demanded,
and resulted as folio we j
Ayes—- Aldermen Sen warn, Well, Duncan,
Ballantyne, O’Connor—5.
Navt‘6—Alderra n Purse, Blun, Montmol
lin. Hamlet, Willink—5.
There: bejng a tie, the Mayor had the de*
cisive vote, and gave it to the affirmative,
stating that he saw no objection to the per
mission being granted.
Mr. ltebater wa a then invited by the
Mayor to proceed with his statement, but
before he could do so, Alderman Purse
moved that he be required to take the oath.
The Mayor declined to administer the
Path, staung that the action thus taken set
tled the matter.
Alderman Purse insisted on the Clerk be
ing put under oath, and the resolution wa*
seconded and the question was called for,
the ayes and nays being demanded, aud re-
salting as follows:
Ayes—Aldermen Purse, Blun, Montrqol-
lin, Hamlet aud Willink—a.
Nays—Aldermen Schwaix, Weil, Dan-
can, Billantyne and O’Connor—5.
The Mayor voted in the negative, and the
permission was granted.
Mr. Kebarer then said that the Corpora
te? Attorney had depllnfd to defend him
in the case, and as there were »erious
allegations against him he desired to know
if the board expected him to employ coun
sel to defend himself for doing the work of
the city.
Alderman Blqn moved that permission
be granted the Clerk of Council to employ
counsel at his own expense.
The Corporation Attorney stated that Mr.
Rebarer was mistaken in his assertion. He
had told Mr. Rebarer that he had a right to
employ notjnsel, aqd as !‘ was a matter |n
which he was greatly interested, he might
desire to have another lawyer, in which
event he (the Corporation Attorney)
would cheerfully co-operate with said
counsel.
Alderman Bluff olTered the following reso
lotion i
Wherkxs. In the opinion of the Corporation
Attorney the law in reference to the registry
is constitutional; be it
Resolved, That he be authorized to tight the
enjoiqers.
The Corporation Attorney said he de
sired to make another statement. He did
not wish the board to be under the Impres
sion, calculated to be created by Alderman
Montmollln’s remarks, that he felt able to
get away with 6uch distinguished lawyers
as Captain Mercer and the Messrs.
Adams {[e bad no such exalted opinion
of his ability, but he fell aoie to take c&re
of this case.
Alderman Montmollin replied that he had
no intention of intimating that tbe Copora-
tion Att"rney designed to convey the idea
that he could, to use a vulgar phrase, “get
away” with the eminent counsel on the
Other side, lie had, however, not asked for
assistance, and there was no occasion to
thrust it upon him. He had not hol
lered for help, and until that
cry was given there was no necessity
to tender it. Again he would call attention to
rules 5 and 10 of Council, which precluded
the appropriation of any moneys at other
than a regular meeting, and the making of
a contract. There was a question as to the
propriety of employing additional counsel
ana increasing tho expense, ana be aid not
see how euch action could be taken at any
bat a regular meeting.
Alderman Puree followed in quite a
lengthy address. He said he felt certain it
could Lot be the of any «f the gen Lu
men to have kept on the statute book an un
constitutional law or ordinance. Therefore,
to his mind, it was surprising to note this
opposition to a movement that would effec
tually settle a vexed question. If this re
gistration law was unconstitutional, then
knowledge bid belief be obtained si
once. If it was legal and constitutional, no
possible harm could resnlt from this effort
to definitely settle the question—a question
involving the liberties of this people, and
of any people who were governed by the
exercise of the elective franchise. This
law now restricts the vote for the next
election to 2,600. Does any gentleman on
this board think he can present a valid
objection to any measure tnat would enable
the 1,800 or 1,400 disfranchised, many of
them prominent citizens and large
tax payers, to exercise the right to
vote: simply because they have failed
or neglected to register within two months
preceding the election, they are to be de
prived of the privilege to vfoe. The 8tate of
Georgia allows her citizens to enjoy this
privilege upon the payment of all legiti
mate taxes, even on the day of election.
Is It right that such a state of affairs should
exist. The report goes out from the office
of the Clerk of Council that of the number
registered 1,700 are colored. Does this not
show that a large class of our tax pavers
have failed to recollect the election
two months before it takes place, and con
sequently did not register ? Why this law
should be enforced, practically a gag law,
It is difficult to say. Are you afraid to trust
the people? If not, why this additional
sateguard, which is not riquired at either
the election for the Governor, the Congress
men or the President 1 It can’t be that the
advocates of this law are afraid to trust
their own citizens, simply because they have
not registered. He had great interests
in this commnnity, nearly everything he
made was invested here: he had not $10,-
000 Invested outside the city; he was born
and reared here, and all his efforts had been
devoted to the interests of this city, and no
man at this board or anywhere could charge
him with lacking in fealty to his mother.
He was no obstructionist, and was desirous
only of seeing justice and fairness exempli
fied. Let tbe question of the legality of
this law be tested: no harm could De done
by that. It was certain there were grave de
fects In It when powers and parties
can, on the public streets, boast that
they carry the Mayor and Aldermen of this
city in their pockets and can place here
whom they please. It was a disgrace that
6uch should be the case, and although he
was not one w ho could be thought as in
the slightest influenced by these powers or
parties, yet he felt it was an Imputation
upon the intelligence of the community
and the reputation of the board, which
should be wiped out. He had served
two terms as Alderman of the city,
and in both instances much against
his will, as his private business demanded
bis entire attention. When first nominated
he had declined seven times, and it was
only when he was convinced that his fellow-
citizens felt that his services were needed,
that he yielded. The second time he was
nominated, his letter of declination was
written and at the Morning Nrws office
for insertion, when General Lawton took the
liberty of having it withdrawn, and after
wards insisted on his serving. While here,
however, he was determined to do what he
thought his duty and what was due to hi6
fellow-citizens and the community.
The Mayor then had the following resolu
tion read, which had been drawn up by the
Corporation Attorney to meet the views ex
pressed by Alderman Well in his motion at
the opening of the meeting:
Resolved, That the Corporation Attorney be
instructed to answer, piea-i or demur to the
bill of complaint of John McMahon et al.!v?.^the
Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Savannah
et &1., os in his judgment (he case, as now pre
sented to tho court, may t demand.
Some discussion ensued as to whether that
was the resolution offered verbally by Aider-
man Weil, Alderman Montmollin contend
ing that he did not 60 coDtdder it.
Alderman Parse desired to ask Alderman
Well if that resolution was in the language
which he used.
Alderman Weil replied that it conveyed
what he desired to express; could not 6ay
that It was the same.
Alderman Purse—Is not the language dif
ferent ?
Alderman Weil—Well, yes ; but the reso
lution expresses what 1 want to say.
Aldermaa Purse then moved that the rcso
lution be laid upon the table ; and the ayes
and nays were called, resulting as follows ;
Ares—Aldermen Purse, Blun, Montmol
lin, Willink—4.
Nays—Alderman Fchwarz, Weil, Duncan,
Ilamle*, Ballantyne, O’Conuor—G.
The motion to adopt the resolution was
then put, and ayes and nays again called,
the result being:
Ayes—Alderman Schwarz, Well, Duncan,
Hamlet, Ballantyne and O’Connor—6.
Nays—Alderman Purse, Blun, Mont
mollin and Willink—4.
The resolution was declared adopted.
Alderman Duncan then offered the fol
lowing:
Resolved, That His Honor the Mayor be
authorized to employ additional counsel, if he
deem it necessary, to assist the Corporation
Attorney in defending the city of Savannah,
In the matter of injunction prayed for by
several citizens.
Alderman Puree moved to adjourn, which
was seconded.
The Mayor declined to put the motion, de
claring that when business was before the
board a motion to adjourn was out of order.
Alderman Montmollin appealed from the
decision of the chair and called for a vote.
The ayes and nays were called end stood:
Ayes— Aldermen Schwarz, Weil, Duncan,
Hamlet, Ballantyne, O’Counor—6.
Nays—Aldermen Purse, Blun, Montmol
lin, Willink—4.
The decision of the Mayor was sustained
by tbe above vote.
Alderman Montmollin presented the rules
of Council, and called attention to the sec
tion which provided that a motion to
adjourn should take precedence of all busi
ness.
The Mayor then stated that he had been
mistaken in his ruling ; that he was guided
by what he considered parliamentary law,
aud thought that he knew the rule of Coun
cil referred to. He was ml.-taken, and if
there was no objection, would consider the
action on Alderman Duucan’s resolution
not taken, aud put the motlou of Alderman
Purse to adjourn.
Alderman Montmollin objected, and said
let it remain where it was.
Alderman Purse moved that If additional
counsel weteemplcyed by the city, the com
pensation should not be over $250.
Alderman Duncan was willing to leave
that with the Mavor, satisfied that he would
do what was right.
Alderman Purse said the city ought not
to pay more than individuals for the same
sirvice, and renewed his motion affixing the
amonDtat $250, which was seconded.
Alderman Montmollin offered the follow
ing as a substitute:
Resolved. That ihe Corporation Attorney be
substituted for the Mayor in the resolution of
Alderman Duncan, inasmuch as the exercise
of discretion involves a legal question.
Alderman Puree withdrew his motion.
The vote was then called on Alderman
Montmollln’s resolution, the ayes and nays
booked, and standing as follows :
Ayes—Aldermen Purse, Blun, Montmol
lin, Ilamlet, Willink—5.
Nayes—Aldermen Schwarz, Weil, Duncan,
Ballantyne and O’Connor—5.
There being a tie, the Mayor had the de
ciding vote. He 6tated, while indifferent
about the matter, he would oast his vote in
the negative, and Alderman Montmollln’s
resolution was declared lost.
The resolution of Alderman Duncan, re
ferring the employment of extra counsel to
the Mayor, was then called up.
The ayes and nays were demanded, and
the vote stood:
Ayes—Aldermen Schwarz, Weil, Duncan,
Hamlet, Ballantyne and O’Connor—6.
Nay?—Aldermen Purse, Blun, Montmol
lin and Willink—4.
The resolution was declared adopted.
There being no other business the board
adjourned.

The regular monthly meeting of the

day night at Hodgson Hall, Gen. Henry R.
Jackson, President, in the chair.
Previous to the business meeting, Capt.
W. W. Paine was introduced and read a
very interesting paper on the battle of Olus-
tee, which was listened to with great atten-
tention. He closed his review of the stir
ring incidents of that struggle by a glowing
and eloquent tribute to the private soldiers,
declaring that the real heroes of the war
were in the ranks.
At the close of the address the audience
retired and the society was called to order
for business.
The minutes of the previous meeting were

“Blanc’s Art in Ornament and Dress.”
Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserable?.”
The President read a letter from Hon.
Robert C. Winthrop, of Brookline, Mass.,
from which we give the following extract:
* * * “The remains of Sir Walter
Raleigh, who was connected more than any
other mau with the earliest colonization of
America, are in old St. Margaret’s Church,
Westminster, close to tbe Abbey, marked
only by a paltry modern cross. Canon
Farrar, the eminent author of the ‘Life of
Chri6i’ and of ‘S^. Paul,’ and the rector of
8t. Margaret’s, desires to have an Ameri
can memorial of Sir Walter in the shape
of a stained glass window in the church.
The paper was sent to me with five Ameri
can subscriptions of £20 each. I brought
the matter before our Massachusetts His
torical Society, who authorized a subscrip
tion of another £20, and instructed me to
ask the co-opcration of other Historical
Societies of the United States. I wrote at
once to our old friend Hugh Blair Grigsby,
who enters Into It heartily, and who sent a
subscription of £10 for tbe Virginia Society,
with a smaller Individual subscription for
himself. Through his intervention.the North
Carolina Society, though poor and feeble,
has sent £5, the Pennsylvania 8ociety has
sent £20, and at least as much is to come
from the New York Society. The American
Antiquarian Society also puts down £20.
Now Raleigh’s work was in \ irglnla, North
Carolina aud the Sjutbern region, and we
especially desire to have the South repre
sented in this American tribute to one of
the greatest men in history, whose abomina
ble execution has associated his name with
nothing less than martyrdom.
“We knowthe South is poor and do not
wish to burden it. But I should be sorry to
have the Georgia Historical Society, one of
the most thriving in our land, omitted from
this roll of honor, which will be preserved
In the archives of this ancient historical
church. The amount needed Is four or
five hundred pounds, of which about one
half is secured. We have a number of lndi
vidual subscriptions. Bancroft,the historian,
and myself have given £5. After all, names
are as Important as money, as such a
tribute should be paid by those entitled to
pay it. I should have felt guilty not to pro
pose the subject to the Georgia Historical
Society, so that the name of your great
State may have Its rightful place if it can be
secured. But do not count me a beggar,
even in &o good a cause ; you will under
stand the whole matter sufficiently without
my addiDg another word.”
The project was warmly approved and
after discussion a motion was adopted that
the Society contribute £20 for the purpose
named.
On motion the thanks of the society were
tendered Capt. Paine for his able and inter
esting paper on one of the great battles of
the war.
A collection of minerals was received
from Messrs. J. J. Nevitt and H S. Colding,
for which thanks were returned.
Colonel Lester, with some remarks, offer
ed the following, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Library Committee
complete as far as possible the historical
records of the State by procuring the jour
nals of the Legislature, the reports of the
Comptroller General, the acts of the Legis
lature and the journals of the various con
vention? of the State and all other publica
tions which maj* be accessible, concerning
the legislative and constitutional history
of the State.
Resolved further, That this committee take
measures to have sent to the society copies
of all printed matter, such as reports,
messages, journals, etc., that may from
time to time be published by authority of
the Legislature, or of cither house thereof,
or by authority of the 8tate.
Rtsolitid further, That this resolution be
read at each aunual meeting of the society.
Captain Paine, of t he Lecture Committee,
gave promise of an interesting address at
the next meeting.
No other business offering, the society
adjourned.
