CITY COURT.
of the Oran 4 Jury for
the November Term, 1839.
re His Honor IT. D. Harden, Judge of
the City Court of Savannah, Ga.:
Dear Sir: The grand jury beg to sab
nit the following report: We hive exarn
ned the books of the sheriff’s office, and
Ind them we'.l kept. We have made csre
’ul examination of the mil, and find it neat
ind clean. The jailers office would be
nade more comfortable by a mat on the
loor. The prisoners number 43 in all—l
white woman, 6 white men, 2 colored
women, and 34 colored men—23 of whom
ire superior court prisoners; all in good
•jealth. We think it would bo well if the
die prisoners could bo employed in culti
vating ad beautifying the promises.
After careful scrutiny of the office, work
ind books of the clerk of the oitv court, we
feel we can hardly say too much in praise
jf the admirable manner in which every
thing is kept and the records and minutes
written up in advance aud indexed to date.
The prompt disposal of criminals in this
court meet* our hearty approbation, as it
curtails the expenses of the city aud county
for the support of criminals in idleness,
furnishes labor for sanitary and other work,
af value to every citizen.
We have visited the camp of the chain
gang. Camp No. 1, on the Waters road,
has 100 prisoners, 89 males and U females;
of these, 8 are white men, 2 of whom are
in the hospital. The camp is fairly healthy;
general appearance and locality good;
water supply poor, artesian well barely
running; bathing and washing facilities
none, l't e water supply should be increased
even if that should necessitate deepening of
the well. Prisoners should certainly have
some place provided where they can cleanse
themselves.
Drainage very bad, privy for guards be
ing over an open ditch, and that ditch filling
up. The privy should be moved out into
the woods, or some decent arrangement
made that would carry off the filth and
the waste water fro n the wash house, etc.
Barracks dirty, bedding old, filthy; hospi
tal, sad to say, no better. That is deplor
able. Guards quarters not clean. Tue rear
of kitchen dirty, with slops and waste
water. General condition of quarters aud
barracks not good. Cooking arrangements
good and should be adopted by the other
camps. Rations fair, except rice, which
was poor aud dirty. Fresh meat twice a
week is given, and coffee twice a day.
Camp No. 2, in charge of Capt. Allen,
near Bacon’s mill on Central railroad prop
erty, prisoners numbered 60—56 males,
4 females; all colored. General con
dition of camp, grounds, barracks, hos
pital, quarters of officers, guard*, prisoners,
very good in every way. Health of priso
ners good. Water supply fair. No facili
ties for washing or bathing. And we
recommend that such facilities be provided.
The city needs the extension of Bay street,
and we recommend that it be extended
across from tiie Augusta to the Louisville
road about three-quarters of a mile, which
would be of material convenience to the
country people seeking our city in their
carts and wagons. The work now being
done there testifies to the wisdom of grant
ing ample means to have this and other
needed improvements completed. There is
hardly another city of the population of
Savannah on this coast where there is not
some provision made for maintaining
public bath houses. In a climate like
ours there should be bathing houses—some
place where the people, at a nominal ex
pense, could have access to the waier priv
ileges, and we.urge the city to move in that
matter. There is a crying evil that pre
sents itself in our method of dealing with
youthful transgressors. At present all
prisoners are incarcerated in a common
prison. Children, both male aud female, of
tender age, are thrust into the same wards
with the old and hardened criminals, and
at times into the wards with luuatics. Some
provision snould be made to avoid this and
to separate and caro for those of tonder
years. A reformatory or house of refuge
should be established whore children under
16 years guilty of the lesser crimes and also
of the more serious felonies, could, in the
discretion of the court, be sent, where, dur
ing the commitment, they could work either
in the house or fields, be taught useful
trades aud surrounded by some other influ
ence than crime in its most debasing forms.
Such is the interest taken in this matter in
other states that not only doe* the state
step forward as a protector, but private
charities offer a haven to young delinquents,
and the state grauts a per capita allowance
for such care aud support, making them
the legal recipients of those convicted of
crime under 16 years of age.
Should the state be dilatory in thus ex
ercising a beniflcient care over its wayward
children, why should not the city make the
effort to ameliorate this sad condition of
affairs. While we pack together young
girls and boys with the most debased, white
and black, of our prisoners, the penal code
ot another state, more just to its children
than our commonwealth, reads: "No child
under restraint or conviction, under 16
years of ago, shall be placed in any prison,
court room or vehicle of transportation
in company with adults charged or con
victed of crime.”
Can we imagine a greater difference in
the care that we taka of our young aud the
supervision and the protection provided by
some other states?
We beg to submit that while our present
law does not expressly authorize the erec
tion of a reformatory, still the general
poe er of the county to erect jails would
seem to be sufficient to authorize the county
commissioners to provide a reformatory a
an adjuuct to, and constructively a part of
the county jail, but, then, if perchance this
should not be the law, this grand jury re
commend that our representatives in our
legislature take steps to have the law so
amended that the county commissioners
may be clothed with the necessary power.
We believe that it is the duty of those in
power to change the present system, and
that it is a crime against nature to herd to
gether the youthful delinquent, capable of
reformation, and the veteran offender,
steeped in crime. Respectfully,
Joseph D. Weed, Foreman,

The Tutty Case Argued and Judge
E peer’s Decision Reserved.
The Tutty case was argued before Judge
Spe.*r iti the United States circuit court
yesterday, and the court reserved its deci
sion. Tue readers of the Morning News
are familiar with the legal status of the
case. Tutty having married a negro woman
in the District of Columbia, returned with
her to Liberty countv, and the tw > lived in
the marital state. The intermarriages of
hites and blacks being interdicted in Geor
gia, the grand jury of taat county iudicrel
the parties and they gave bond to answer.
'V nen the case came on to be heard, they
were absent from the court room, and their
counsel moved to take the case to the United
States court. Failig&nt refused to
consider the motion on account of the
absence of the defendants, and their bonds
wero estreated.
The case was then taken to the United
”“*** circuit court on the papers, where
the motion was renewed to have it taken
from the state courts aud the
proceedings of that court annulled
as they were'unc institutional, in that they
impaired a co itract entered into under the
laws of the United States, and that under
the civil rights bili tae state law could not
operate to conviat them of fornication as
set up in the indictment
Solicitor Qe ieral Fraser spoke at length
on a motion to remand the case to the
superior court of Liberty county. He
argued first that it could not legally
be removed to the United States court
under a motion made in the absence of
the defendants from the oourt, who were
under bond to be present. Beyond that
point the solicitor general argued that the
cuse is one the United States court has no
jurisdiction to try, as the alleged impair
ment of a contract is not well taken, the
law referring to matters of property. Hj
cited the ruling of Juuge Erskine, when on
the United States bench, ia rema iding a
similar case back to ths state courts, aud
also a decision from the supreme court of
Virginia, where the judgment of the lower
court was afli mad in a parallel case.
A man aud woman, one of whom wa3
white and the other colored, went to
Washington City, were married, returned
and domiciled in Vi ginia, were indicted
and on trial convicted, appealing to the
supreme court which refused to reverse the
court below. Mr. Fraser expresses great
confidence that the decision in the present
case will be in his favor.
18 THE IDEA NOT A GOOD ONE?
Some Practical Suggestions for Mer
chants’ Week
Editor Morning News: Savannah will
receive this year her expected and anxiously
looked for 1,000,000 bales of cotton, and the
event shquld be commemorated in some
practical way. The naval stores trade will
also enjoy the receipt of 200.000 casks of
spirits of turpentine and 800,000 barrels of
rosin, making a total of 1,000,000. Now,
toe idea 1 would suggest is this:
To celebrate the receipt of the
1,000,000 bales of cotton, I think the cotton
exchange could do no better than to offer a
sum of money to some couole to get mar
ried during Merchants’ May wook. The
nuptials could be solemnized in the park
extension, in a house built of cotton, with
all the accessories made of the staple. This
feature could be worked up admirably.
Again the board ot trade could likewise
offer a sum of money for another couple to
he married under its auspices during the
Merchants’ May week, to celebrate its re
ceipt of 1,000,000 barrels of naval stores. The
cotton and naval stores trade could be ele
gantly worked up in a manner that would
invite the attention of the world to the
magnitude of these interests in Savannah.
Surely no better way could be devised to
bring the attention of the people of the
country to the importance of these great
industries tba i events like these. I would
like to see the question discussed and how
the idea strikes the people. K. C. H.

THE CLBMSON CASE.
It Came Up in the United States Court
Last Monday.
From tins New York Herald.
Charleston, Jan. 11.—The supreme
court of the United States heard argument
in a case that is of peculiar interest to South
Carolinians Monday. It is the case brought
by Gideon Lee, a broker of New York city,
as guardian of his daughter, Isabella Lea,
to have the will of Thomas G. Clemson, the
son-in-law of tbs great statesman, John C.
Calhoun, annulled. This case was tried in
the United States circuit court at Charles
ton la it April, before Chief Justice Fuller,
Circuit Judge Bond, and District Judge
Simoaton. The decision was in favor of
the executor of the will. The attorneys of
the plaintiffs gave notice of an appeal to the
United States supreme court, and owing to
the peculiar history of’the case Chief Jus
tice Fuller had it advanced oa the calen
dar.
Thomas G. Clemson married the daughter
of John C. Calhoun, and when Mr. Calhoun
died h® and his wife niado Fort Hill, the
Calhoun homestead, itieir home. They
lived thero quietly and plainly. Finally
Mrs. Clemson, who was the owner of the
place, died. She left a will bequeathing all
her property to her husband.
Mr. Clemson was then left as the sole
ocuupant of Fort Hill. He lived there
almost as a hermit, never leaving his own
grounds, but taking the greatest pride and
pleasure in showing visitors oyer the place,
and Mr. Calhoun’s library and private
rooms.
No one suspected that the old man had
any money, and only a short while before
he died Gideon Lee wrote to a merchant at
Pendleton, and told him to let him have
any groceries that he might need, and send
the bill on to him.
Mr. Clemson died in the spring of 18SS,
and the contents of his will caused a sur
prise. This old man who had been consid
ered a penniless old imbecile, had left the
Fort Hill place as a seat for tue founding of
an agricultural and mechanical college, and
his private fortune, which amounted to
about SIOO,OOO, as an endowment.
CONSTERNATION AMONG CALHOUNS.
This will fell like a thunderclap upon the
Calhoun family. It was generally tnought
that Fort Hill would descand to Miss Isa
bella Lee, who was the daughter of Mrs.
Clemson’s sister, and consequently the
Eanddaughter of the great statesman.
iss Lee was given the Calhoun plate aad
portraits and a bequest of SIO,OOO, on condi
tion that she would not contest the will.
It had long been understood that she was
to let John C. Calhoun, of New York, and
Pat Csdhoun, of Atlanta, Ga,, have the
Fort Hill place, and that they were to fix it
up in grand style as the old homestead and
use it as a summer home, and they at once
■et about defeat Cienwac.’* purposes. They
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JANUARY 17. 1890.
employed lawyers, who’brought suit in Miss
Lee’s name t-o have the will annulled. They
contended that Clem-on was an imbecile
and that be had no real title to the property,
which w*s his wife’s.
The will looked to the acceptance of the
bequest by the state, and to it- supplement
ing the am-unt by money willed by annual
appropriati ms to ths college. It provided
that the state should elect six trustees to
co-operate with the seven named in the
will.
This threw the matter into politics, and
the question of the state’s acceptance of the
Clemson bequest was made the chief is-uo
in the campaign for the election of the leg
islature of 1888.
The friends of the South Carolina college
fought the friends of the Clemson college,
aud the campaign was the bitterest known
in South Carolina since the great campaign
of 1876. The farmers won and sunt a ma
jority of the adherents of Clemson college
to the legislature. A hard fight was made
in the legislature, but the bill providing for
the state’s acceptance was carried through
both tno House and the Senate.
THE GOVERNOR DOUBTFUL.
The governor, however, refused to sign
the bill. He is allowed by the coustitution
the right to hold over a bill until the first
three days of the next session, if he wishes.
He exercissd this right on the ground that
he did not care to make the st .tea party
to the case thou in tho United States c >urr.
But when the legislature reassembled ia
last December, the governor signed the bill,
thereby accepting the bequest.
The executor of the will then made over
a deed of the property to the state, and the
attorney general was instructed to oo
operate with the lawyers a!'Body employed
by the executor of the will in defending it
in the case now before the United States
supreme court The legislature also pro
vided fir the immediate erection of suita
ble buildings for the college, and for tho
onening of the institution with complete
apparatus and full faculty at as early a data
as possible.
A FINE OLD PLACE.
Fort Hill is a fine old plantation of about
1,000 acres, about two miles from Pendla
tou, the nearest railroad station. The
dwelling is a typical old southern planta
tion home. It sits on tho top of a com
manding hill. The large white columns to
its piazza attract tho attention of all
passers by. The old house is iu a flue stats
of preservation, and contains all the furni
ture, books, portraits, and other relics of
Mr. Calhoun. The trustees propose to keep
the house intact as a kind of Calhoun
memorial.
Everybody believes the decision will
sustain the will.
JEFF DASON’S WILD RIDE.
Dashing Bareback and Almost Naked
Through the Rank3 of the Redskins.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Denver, Dec. 26. —If in those days any
of the boys had been asked to pick out the
coolest aud bravest member of our wild,
wooly gang, almost any one would have
been selected before Jeff Dason. Gentle,
smooth-voiced, freckle-faced, and red
headed, our horse wrangler was chiefly re
markable for bis love of the caballada (horse
herd) over which he had charge. Every
morning sunri-e saw Jeff swing to his sad
dle and drive the band to Cajou Canon, and
sunset saw them rolling the dust back to the
big corrals. It was only the miles to Cajou,
but the Apaches had raided the ranch itself,
and Jeff's position was no sinecure. So it was
that one glorious August morning, just as
the sun came blinking lazily up over the
great eastern plains, Jeff and the band
started for the grazing grounds.
In among the mesquites a few dauntless
songsters were protesting against another
day of Arizona sun, and the earth was
trying to smile in spite of the fact that
another fourteen hours of stifling, gasping
heat was at hand. Across the broad, white
alkali flat swung the band, raising great,
lazy clouds of the pungent dust, and finally
rouuded the cauon point, out of sight. It
was cool in Cajou, for the cedar-crowned
rock walls were untouched by the sun-kiss
yet, and the fragrant breath of a restful
night still lingered lovingly over the green
grass carpet aud along the redrock walis.
The forenoon passed like other forenoons
with Jeff, the horse i drank, grazed, or lay
down, while the watcher played inumblety
peg or gambled with four pebbles against
a l imaginary opponent f r fabulous sums,
or dozed with his hand on his horse’s picket
rope. About 2 o’clock Jeff discovered some
pinon tries on top of the canon wails, and,
tying old “Bonypart” to a mesquite, pro
ceeded to invesiigate the condition of the
nuts. It was a hard climb, but after ho
had reached the top and found the piuons
would be sticky for a month to come, he
lav down to gaze on the long, level stretch
of plain below.
Perhaps he lay thus fifteen or twenty
minutes, when he saw something that
brought him to his feet, wide awake. Off
to the southwest, about two miles away
from the mouth of Cajou, cime five moulted
Apaches, riding slowly toward him. With
beating heart Jeff watched them until the
point hid them from view, saw them come in
sight agaiu at tho broad mouth of the canon,
watched them as they stopped and examined
his horses’ tracks, and noted two dismount
and start up the rocky point afoot, and the
others start across to take station at the
mouta and turn the horses when they came
down, away from tho ranch. Then he started
down the bluff,slipping,sliding, jumping and
clinging, until be reached the meadow
below, bruised and panting, but resolute.
To escape without his ponies was not to be
thought of. The Apaches stationed below
wid finish the stampede that the two creep
ing up will attempt. But they shouldn’t
have his beauties, his pets, every one of
whom seemed doubly dear just then. Had
he not broken many of them, and did he
not know the faults and virtues of every
wooly scamp among them, and was there
one in tho lot that should be ridden, beaten,
starved, or saddle galled by those red
devils? No! No! Better death twice
over than that they be thus
abused. With quivering lip and sobbing
breath ha draws old “Bony” close to tho
wall, and wi h trembling hand loosens the
cinchs, throws the saddle into a rift of the
canon wall, and stripping off all clothing
save drawers, shirt aad stockings, hu Is
them after the saddle. Slipping the bridle
on “Bnny” and throwing a doubled blanket
over his back, he slides six or eight
cartridges from his belt, catches up the
revolver, and stands waiting. Presently
Broncho Duke raises his head from the
grass and snuffs the air suspiciously, then
with a wild snort and nervous stamp of his
forefoot, ho is off down the canon with the
band close following.
Right behind them are Jeff and Bony
part, the old war horse, with nose high in
air, chafing under the close rein. Has he
not won many a close race, and why should
his young rider strip and ride with only a
blanket unless he meant to show these
young upstart colts that old Bony was
chief still. So they race down the esnon,
splashing through the seepage pools, rat
tling over the pebbly drifts, swishing
through the sage and mesquite bot
toms, end whirl from the can
on’s mouth like bounding boulders.
A startled yell from tno waiting
Apaches, and Jeff tightens his grip and digs
his bare heels in Bony’s flanks ai the watch
ers sweep out toward the baud. The horses
snort and shy, but the old racer is stretch
ing his long legs aloDg on the opposite side,
and Jeff’s pistol is hurling a stream of fire
that holds them steady. They race thus
perhaps seventy-five yards, blit old Bony
crowds them so close that, bewildered and
confused, they break ana sweep between
the howling, astonished Indians and take a
bee-line for the ranch.
As the victorious horse and rider whirl
past they receive a flight of arrows. Jeff
stopping two and the horse catching one,
which he notices by a squeal and a kick as
he thunders on after his mates. How old
Bony did enjoy that race with free rein
and the long, level plains before them!
How he showed those conceited young
horses how horses ran in his day! From
one side of the band to the other he
| “ weaved,” with ears laid flat and eyes
fairly bulging in his exrit-meut. As to
those Apaches ever overtaking them, he
snorted at the idea.
So they raced, aud the si-elv wounded
ridor, sick unto death, gamely clung to his
back, thong i thigh imu Liu wvrs crying
out with their burden of an ar. ow each,
uni tae froth was on his purpling lips. Yet
a little farther, and thev wculd be safe at
the ranch. Yet a little—and here is the
corral gate, the boy- pouring out of th>
cabin, the horses saved, an i, even as he
stoaa old Bny w,th a sharp pull, his
strength forsakes him, and the horse rustler
of free- L ranch has pa-sod the divido
across the range, while the shell he ten
anels well, and that wa callei him, falls
like a sack of wheat into our eager, out
stretched arms.

Seventy-Five Cents On the Dollar.
Tho last chance, but a stunner. The time
for moving of “The Famous” is rapidly ap
proaching, and I offer as a parting shot
twenty-five per cent, discount to every pur
chaser. Competitors (because of the low
prices lam selling before moving) try to
make customers believe that my goods are
old, shop-worm, and what not. Such
talk any sensible man can see inio. There
is not a fresher stock of Clothing in Sa
vannah. My goods are marked in plain
figures, and, as is well known, the lowest
prices always at “The Famous.” I offer,
you know, on the top of the low prices, a
discouutof twenty-five per cent., not only
only on Clothing, but oa Hats, Shirts, and
ou everything in the house. Thero is no
humbug or subterfuge about this. If you
buy f2O worth you ill get a present of $5.
It is just the same as a present, because you
couldn’t buy the same amount of goods for
less than S2O anywhere. Don’t let slurs in
fluence you, but go direct to “The Famous”

knock your dyspepsia higher than a kite
I’m a sailor."
