Salt Against an AclrsM-Jafgmenl
Obtained.
On the Bth of February, 1880, during the
engagement In this city of the
well known actress, Miss Louise
Pomeroy, a misunderstanding occurred be
tween her and one of the company, Mrs
Sarah Courtney Havlland, In reference to
contract for services. Tbo result of the
trouble was the suing out of a writ of at
tachment by Mrs. Haviland, and several
trunks belonging to Miss Pomeroy were
levied upon. The requisite bond was fur
oi6hed by Mr. Tho*. Arkwright, manager of
the Theatre, and the baggage was released.
Hon P. W. Meldrim was employed to rep
resent Mrs. Haviland, and Capt. 8. Yates
Levy was retained by Miss Pomeroy. Suit
was brought in the City Court for the re
covery of the money alleged to be due.
The case came up for trial in the City Court
yesterday morning, as will appear by the
proceedings elsewhere, and resulted in a
verdict being rendered by the jury in favor
of the plaintiff, Mrs. Haviland, for $lO per
week for fifteen weeks, amounting to $155.
rbeCblldren’s Hlardl Gras Carnival.
The Secretary of War, on the cordial
recommendation of Gen. Henry J. Hunt,
commanding the Military Department of
the South, pleasantly put Oglethorpe bar
racks at the disposition of the Ladles' Aid
Society for their fair and Children’s Mardi
Gras Carnival next week. Previous arrange
ments, however, had been made for Masonic
Temple. Geo. Hunt was stationed in Savan
nah maiiy years ago, and as Colonel of the
Fifth Artillery has many friends In Charlea
ton, 8. C., and Atlanta, Ga., where he has
been commanding for four or five years
past.
A Whale Captured off Port Royal.
The whaling schooner Lottie A. Cook, of
New Bedford, arrired at Tybee yesterday,
with a large whale in tow, captured off Port
Royal. The animal is eighty feet ip length
and the Captain reports that the? captured
another equally as Urge. which was left at
sea. The Cook has one hundred barrels of
oU aboard, and has so far had a suc
cessful voyage. The vessel nchored t
Tybee, and the crew were busily engaged
yesterday afternoon in cpttitgap tbe whale,
which will yield a considerable quantity oi
oU.
The Grand Opening.
Mr. Weisbeln has concluded to extend the
exhibition of his fine stock of needlework
and laces for one day. Ladles who have
not had the opportunity to visit the estab
li.-bment the past two days, and to see some
of the handsomest goods of the kind ever
brought to this city, have one more chance
to do so to day. It is a sight worth **i c K*
None ought to fall to go there. feb‘26-lt

MTiestre-“LoTe’s Sacrifice.”
nrf^*l.? Tenin,? tte charmln K young actress,
Mlm Eleanor Calhoun, supported by the
eminent actor Mr. Barton Hill and a fine
company, produced Lovell’s five-act play,
Love a Sacrifice” for the entertainment of
a cultured and refined audience. The play
is one of considerable interest and possesses
a plot so deftly woyen that it la not dlscov
tmtU near th* ?° 6t crltlcal and observing
until near the denouement. Mlm Calhoun,

was very pleasing, and did herselfcredit.
ST? ln v °lce and manner, there
Th * ? e iVi v n °ticed to staginess and
thetragtc al . Miss Calhoun is undoubtedly a
good actress, and evinces careful studv

she displays an absence of thorough stage
and™ a m d i C eai ! ,y demonstrates that she
has mmiv litUe points to learn. She needs
more natural, and
a / i e Bta^nß <” of voice, which was
once noticeable last even
ing. she has the elements ln her of a great
actress, and as she is a conscientious artist,
and is not Ignorant of the fact that perfec
tlon is hard to attain, and possessed as she
is of determination, will overcome such de-
Itcts as are made apparent to her
-Bel* 88 , we l „ * others. We venture
n 9 th , ,D .K 1“ the prediction that there is
a bright future for this beautiful and ac ■
complished young lady. Her earnestness of
purpose, coupled with her genius and tal
ent, will achieve the highest success in the
profession she has chosen. Her portraiture
of “Margaret Elmore” was, even with the
defects noticed, very admirable. In several
scenes she was loudly applauded, being
twice encored at the close of the sets. She
was superbly supported. Mr. Hill’s
Mathew Elmore” was a most excellent
personation, well in keeping with hie repu
tation as an eminent actor. Mr. E. A.
Eberle deserves much praise for his very
faithful portraiture of “Lafont,” and Mr.
John Germon’s rendering of the part of the
Friar” could not have been better. He is
the worthy eon of a worthy mother, whose
amj °l, the „ Rta £ e cannot be easily
filled. Mr. Riebert, a favorite In
Savannah, well sustained the part of
Jean Ruse,” and In the scene with “Madam
Manou” (Mrs. Garmon) convulsed the house
with laughter. The “Eugene DeLorme"
of Mr. J. R. Keenan and the “St. Lo” of
Mr. J. T. Malone were very good. We
might notice the entire cast, but our space
will not permit. We, however, take pleas
ure in commending in the highest terms
that clever little actress, Miss Blanche
Thompson, who, since her first appearance
ln Savannah last season, has made marked
improvement, and is now a recognized fa
vorite of the “Forest City.” Her appear
ance on the stage was greeted with ap
plause, and as “Hermlnie” she was so
piquant and captivating as to thoroughly
enthuse the audience, and at the close of
one of the acts was called before the cur
tain.
This afternoon at the matinee “ The
Hunchback” will be given, with Miss Cal
houn as “Julia,” and Miss Thompson as
“Helen.” It is a performance that should
not be missed.
To-cight the company take their farewell
I® the great play, by Sardon, entitled
‘Daniel Rocbat.” This play has received
the highest commendation from the press,
and is said to possess extraordinary merit.
Both Miss Calhoun and Mr. Hill have fine
characters, and those who would enjoy a
splendid performance should secure their
seats at Bren’s and attend.

now any sober, good mechanic or laborer

is no demand for his services.

Opera at Last.
Our musical loving community will be
pleased to learn that Carreno’s Grand Ope
ratic Company will commence an engage
ment of two nights in Savannah, commenc
ing Friday, the 4th proximo. The company
is composed of artists of distinguished
merit—known throughout the country.
Madame Teresa Carreno is recognized as
one of the greatest living pianists. She is a
pupil of the great Gottschalk, and is said to
reveal in all her work an extraordinary
power. An exchange says “her execution
is marvellous and her expression perfect.
A more finished exhibition than the one she
gives it would be difficult to attatn.”
Miss Emma Roderick, a charming prima
donna; Miss Emma L. Underhill, a popular
contralto; Signor Stantini, a great tenor,
and Signor Tagllapietra, the famous bari
tone, to whom many of us have listened In
opera, and of whom all of qs have heard,
comprise the remaining artists of the com

nation.
The first part of the evening’s entertain

be grand opera. The fourth act of the pop

Bren’s ticket office.
Personal.
We had the pleasure of a visit yesterday
from Mr. W. L. Whitfield, of the {five Oak,
Florida, Btdletin. A recent number of the
Valdosta Times has the following compli

“Mr. W. L. Whitfield has leased the Live
Oak (Fla.) Bulletin, and will hereafter con
duct that paper. Our people will remember
the little boy, Luther Whitfield, who used
to sell peanuts on our streets. Since he left

successful publisher."

The grand jury of the
yesterday concluded their labor* _ „ .
ent term and submitted their general pi.
sentments, with the recommendation that
they be published in the Morning News,
which were read in open court. The pre
sentments were made up of the reports of
the several sub committees, and as the mat
ters discussed and recommendations made
are of general public interest we give here
with a synopsis of tbe same:
THE CHAIN GANG.
The committee who inspected the camp
of the chain gang of Chatham county erect
ed near the southern outlet, of the Cuyler
swamp, and the work being done by that
gang on the canal, Intended to drain said
swamp, report that the camp is well man
aged in every respect; the prisoners are well
clothed; receive a sufficient quantity of
good, wholesome food; they are kept during
the night in clean, well ventilated dormi
tories, the sexes being separated, and the
premises in general show good order and
system in every department. The work
being done on the canal is progressing as
well as can be expected, and though prob
ably it might be done cheaper and quicker
by letting it out on contract, still, no funds
being on hand for that purpose, and the
county being at a daily expense for every
prisoner, whether he works or not, it
seems to be for the best interests of the
county to continue the work, as It
has been commenced, under the control
of tbe Commissioners of Drainage. The
committee express the opinion that the good
effects of the work will be felt in the more
effective drainage of lands near the city, as
soon as this canal will have reduced the
channel proper of the swamp, 60 that water
can be turned in, and it is only to be hoped
that those having control of the work may
be enabled, through assistance from the city
or from landholders immediately profiting
by the work, to push it towards completion
at an earlier date than this can be effected
by the chain gang alone.
THE MAGISTERIAL SYSTEM.
The committee appointed to examine the
books of the several Magistrates reported
that they had performed that duty
to the extent of their ability, and
that they found the books of Magistrate
Waring Russell, Jr., and M. Naughtiu in
good condition, neatly and well kept, and
the books of Magistrate Isaac Russell very
carefully kept. The books of Magistrate
Frank M. Molina were found to be carefully
docketed, plainly and neatly kept and in
excellent condition, and the committee take
pleasure ln complimenting him upon the
excellent and systematic manner in which
his official business is presented for public
inspection.
The books of Magistrate W. H. Woodhouse
were found to be in a very' bad condition—
improperly docketed and, ln some instances,
costs collected before final conviction.
Magistrate S. Elslnger’s books were ln
good order and properly kept, and Magis
trate Henry Bleber’s books were also found
to be ln good condition. No Information
could be obtained from the books of Magis
trate W. H. Matthews, which were in such
condition that the committee, after arduous
effort, failed to acquire any definite knowl
edge of the business of his office.
The committee state that though appre
hensive they may be exceeding their duty,
they feel constrained under the circum
stances to give expression of some opinion
created by their careful examination of the
inner workings of the magisterial system.
In some of the offices the manner In which
the business is conducted is a farcical
travesty upon justice, and gives rise to the
suspicion that costs and not the ends of
justice constitute the objectof the presiding
officers. There are, we are pleased to say,
exceptions’' and due credit should be award
ed those officials, but the committee regard
the system as iniquitous, and respectfully
suggest that the Representatives and Sena
tor of the county be memoralized on the
subject, and urged to introduce and secure
the passage of some bill which will provide
for a more equitable, satisfactory and just
administration of the laws.
COUNTY OFFICES.
The several committees appointed to
examine the books of the various county
officers submitted reports, stating they had
found the books ln good condition,
systematically kept, and in good order.
Special commendation is awarded Major
Charles 8. Hardee, Clerk of the Superior
Court, his efficient deputy, James K. P.
Carr, Esq., hts clerk, Major Win. T. Law,
for their systematic arrangement of the
large accumulated eouuty records, and Id
view of their rapid increase, suggest that
additional room might be appropriately set
apart for this business, as the present rooms
appear wholly inadequate for the purpose
desired. The officials of the Ordinary’s and
Tax Collector’s offices are also compli
mented.
, THE JAIL. i
The committee appointed to inspect the
public buildings have tbe following in refer
ence to the jail:
The jail is insecure and in a decaying con
dition, unfit for the abode of human beings
and unworthy the cultivated commu
nity in the midst of which it stands,
besides, its location adjoining the
public park and in the centre of a
part of the city which Is rapidly filling up
with handsome and costly residences is
objectionable and forms a bar to future
improvement of that locality. The Com
mtssioners of Chatham county have
kindly explained to the grand jury
the difficulties which prevent the erection
of anew and better constructed jail in a
more appropriate locality without resorting
to additional or special taxation. Neverthe
less the committee would impress upon
them the importance of not relaxing their
efforts; and since it has been shown that if
the value of the land upon which tbe jail
now stands were added to the ex
isting jail fund, a sufficient sum
for the purchase of land and the erec
tion of anew jail would be obtained, the
grand jury think it incumbent on the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen to assist the Com
missioners in their laudable efforts to the
extent of granting them the said land or
the proceeds of the sale of the same.
THE COURT HOUSE.
The present court house is evidently not
of sufficient capacity for the business to be
transacted therein. The offices on the ground
floor, particularly those of the Clerk of the
Superior Court, of the Ordinary and of the
Tax Receiver are too small, badly lighted
and uncomfortable, and do not allow such
a systematic arrangement of the records
and books used therein as to make them
easily accessible for the clerical force and
those wishing to obtain information; no ar
rangement is made for the private offices
for any of the Judges; too little space Is al
lowed for the court rooms and the jury
rooms are far from comfortable; many im
portant public documents have to be accom
modated iu tbe loft under tbe
roof, where they are hardly accessible
and are liable to be destroye i. The jury
think that any attempt at remedying these
defects by increasing the present building,
either by an extension to Drayton street or
by putting on another story, will be expen
sive and fail to give satisfaction, and that
only a thorough reconstruction, or bet’er
still, anew building, put in more modern
style, will be adequate to the demands of
an enlightened public.
It has been stated to the grand jury that
considerable yearly savings have been
effected duriDg the last few years in the ex
penses of Chatham county, aud if the Com
missioners of the county will continue
practising their wise economy a few years
longer, and it becomes possible thereby to
create a special fund for the erection of a
new court house, it would he be6t to submit
to the inconveniences described a little
longer rather than to spend money on the
present old and unsightly structure.
THE JAIL UNFIT FOR LUNATICS.
The jury further state that they do not
consider the jail a proper place for the con
finement of lunatics, and recommend that
the County Commissioners accept the propo
sition made by the 8b Joseph’s Hospital for
the temporary care of tbe whites, and of the
Georgia Infirmary of the colored Insane,
while waiting permission to send them to
the State Asylum.
Scriptural.
“Simmons’ Liver Regulator is certainly a
specific for that class of complains which it
claims to cure. Of its beneficial effects we
do know something; and, from personal ex
periments, it is our opinion that its virtues
have not been exaggerated by the many
flattering notices of the press. Jf any of our
fellow-beings are suffering from hepatic
disorders, and have doubts in relation to tbe
efficacy of this popular preparation we can
only offer them the simple and candid argu
ment of Philip to Nathaniel, ‘Come and
see.’ Try the proposed remedy, and then
you can judge for yourselves.

livery were perfect.
The meeting was called to order by Presi
dent M. J. Doyle. Mr. J. C. Duggan, ln s
few appropriate remarks, Introduced tbe
orator of the evening, who was received
with applause. The young orator took for
his theme “The Land League, Its Relations
to Ireland,” and for over an hour held his
audience in interested attention. The ad
dress showed considerable thought, and
was an exceedingly creditable presentation
of the facts, but Its length precludes Its
publication in full in our columns this morn
ing.
After the address Mr. O’Connor received
the hearty congratulations of his friends.
This is his first effort ln public speaking,
and his success was exceedingly gratifying
to his friends.
Mr. P. W. Meldrim, in response to calls,
addressed the meeting, stating that It had
not been his intention to speak, but that he
only attended with tbe desire of hearing the
young orator, who had proven himself to
be the worth? son of a worthy sire. He ad
vised the League to act with caution, tell
ing them that we sometimes, in our en
deavor to aid our friends, by indiscreet
actions hurt them. He congratulated the
Irish people of Savannah on the acquisition
to their ranks of an orator so young, yet so
eloquent, clear-minded, and with a delivery
so Perfect.
The public meeting then adjourned, and
business of a private nature was transacted.
A Rrlef Sketch of HI In# Eleanor Cal
houn.
The following sketch of the accomplish
ed young actress, who is at present playing
an engagement at the Savannah Theatre,
will be read with interest:
“Miss Calhoun made her first appearance
on the stage in San Francisco last October,
and is now only eighteen years of age. Two
years before, she graduated with honors
at the State Normal College. Having de
termined, with the consent of her parents,
to go on the stage, she studied elocution
under competent teachers, and then rented
a theatre, engaged a company and present
ed herself as a candidate for public support.
“The respect in which Miss Calhoun’s
family are held in California had something
to do with her success, of course, but wh&t
was given Id sympathy, in the beginning,
was continued and strengthened as her dra
matic talent impressed itself upon over
flowing houses. In “Juliet,” in “Julia” in
the “Hunchback,” in “The Wife,” and as
“Margaret Elmore” in “Love’s Sacrifice,”
Miss Calhoun delighted critical audiences.
Her stage management was admirable.
Strange to say, Miss Calhoun realized, from
the first, how much depended on stage set
ting and proper dressing, and in “Juliet,”
in particular, there was no stint in the
preparations.
“Miss Calhoun was offered three lucrative
engagements in tbe East, and, on account
of her desire to come to the South, accepted
the offer of Mr. John T. Ford for a South
ern tour. Next winter she will play in New
York and will afterwards go to Europe to
studv.
"There is no danger that Miss Calhoun
will be spoilt by the admiration lavished
upon her. If there ever was a con
scientious lover of her art she is
one. None know better than she what her
shortcomings are, but 6he has the
satisfaction of perceiving that every
day she improves, and her friends may rest
assured that she understands the need of
incessant work, and the importance of at
tention to every detail of look, gesture and
accent. Miss Calhoun Is a thoroughly
womanly woman, yet confident of her own
powers, courageous and self-reliant. The
path she has chosen is a rugged one, but
she is richly endowed by nature, and, in her
‘bright lexicon of youth,’ we are sure, will
find no such word as fall."

KIDNEGEN is highly recommended and unsurpassed for WEAK or FOUL KIDNEYS,
DROPSY, BRIGHT’S DISEASE, LOSS of ENERGY, NERVOUS DEBILITY, or any OBSTRUC
TIONS arising from KIDNEY or BLADDER DISEASES. Also for YELLOW FEVER, BLOOD and
KIDNEY POISONING, in infected malarial sections.
By the distillation of a FOREST LEAF with JUNIPER BERRIES and BARLEY MALT
we have discovered KIDNEGEN, which acts specifically on the Kidneys and Urinary Organs, re
moving deposits in the bladder and any straining, smarting, heat or irritation in the water
passages, giving them strength, vigor, and causing a healthy color and easy flow of urine. It
can be taken at all times, in all climates, without injury to the system. Unlike any other
preparation for Kidney difficulties, it has a very pleasant and agreeable taste and flavor. It con
tains positive diuretic properties and will not nauseate. Ladies especially will like it, and Gen
tlemen will find KIDNEGEN the best Kidney Tonic ever used!
NOTICE. —Each bottle bears the signature of LAWRENCE & MARTIN, also a Proprietary
Government Stamp, which permits KIDNEGEN to be sold (without license) by Druggists, Gro
cers and Other Persons everywhere.
