THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1885.
A BLATANT Ri ATHEIISKITE.
Who Seeks to Rain Notoriety by Abusing
thoSouth.
A young man, whose appearance indicat
ed that he had not been handled gently, nor
with kid gloves, appeared at Magistrs-e Mo
lina’s office, a day or two since, and wanted a
warrant issued against a gen leman and his
wife, whom he charged with assault and
battery, and also desired them placed under
a bond to keep the peace.
The parties were arrested and
gave the required bond. It appears that
the young man who has conceived a, very
great bitterness for the South and her peo
ple, had taken particular pains to express
his valuable opinion on the subject in
very emphatic and harsh terms on various
occasions in the presence of the gentleman
referred to, although requested to keep
his views to himself. Finally forbearance
ceased to be a virtue, and wearied with hear
ing gratuitous insults cast upon bis people
and country, he proceeded to give the
talkative young man a vigorous
drubbing. His wife endeavored to separate
the parties, and accidentally trol on the
outstretched hand of thejvituperative yrulh,
as he clutched the floor for support, injur
ing it severely. The young man also want
ed to have a warrant against the lady for
mayhem. The magistrate advised him to
consult a lawyer before proceeding further,
but his sober second thought probably coun
seled otherwise. It is not improbaffie that
he will return home and relate a harrowing
tale of Southern outrages. These cases are
of rare occurrence now, but occasionally a
fanatic of this stripe strays this way and
is treated as he should be.
THE CITY SUFU
For the Value of a Stolen Overcoat.
Yesterday at 9:30 o’clock the case of W-
Sullivan ve. the Mayor and Aldermen of
tbe city of Savannah came up for trial in
the office of Justice M. Frank Molina. The
cause was for the recovery of the value of
a coat lost by the plaintiff while in the Police
Barracks. As stated in the Times at the
time of the loss, December 26th, the plain
tiff was arrested and placed in a cell over
night. He pulled off his coat and hung it
up in the cell and the next morning it was
gone, a tramp having reached
through the grating and appropriated it.
The facts were agreed upon by both counsel
for the plaintiff and defendant, viz: J. J.
Abrams, Esq., and 11. C. Cunnigharu, Esq ,
respectively. The point of dispute was
based on the liability of the city for the
loss of the coat. The defense set up by the
city was that it was not liable in cases of
tort, as decided by the Supreme Court on
more than one occasion. Counsel for the
plaintiff claimed that the city was
responsible for the property of the prisoner
while in the custody of the officers of the
city Afler argument on botli sides Judge
Molina decided that the Mayor and Alder
men were not liable under the law and that
they be discharged. However, the keeper
of tbe guard room was responsible if any
one was, and it may he that suit will he in
stituted against said keeper. Sudivau says
that he had S2OO in the coat before he w; s
taken to the guard house, but that he had
heeu taken charge of, or he would havelos: |
that also. lie also denies that he was drunk !
and disorderly, as stated in l he Times the j
next day, hut was simply placed there for j
safe keeping. However, the police records j
were so written, and copied by a reporter of
i His paper.
ARCHBISHOP-ELECT GROSS.
Confirmation Ceremony at Sacred Heart
tliureli To-Day—Lecture This Evening.
Archbishop-elect Gross arrived from
Washington, Ga., yesterday morning. F r
the past two weeks he has been confirming
the children in some of the Catholic par
ishes in the northern portion of the State.
This morning he will confirm a number of
white and colored children at the Sacred
Heart Church, in this city. To-night he
will lecture at Catholic Library Hall on
the “Third Plenary Council of Baltimore,”
when the Catholic population will turn out
in full to hear him, as this will probably be
the last public address he will deliver as
Bishop of Savannah. On account of the
'ecture, the mual Sunday evening services
will be dispensed with at the Cathedral to
night, and instead, Benediction will be given
this afternoon.
The appointment to the Arch Episcopacy
of Oregon was entirely unlooked for by
Rishop Gross, and is therefore a great sur
prise to him. He does not think proper to
express himself publicly about the appoint
ment until the official notification arrives
from Rome, which will probably he in a very
short time.
The Purlin Ball.
The Purim Masquerade Ball, to be given
under the auspices of the Youths’ Historical
Society, March 2d, bids fair to be the com
ing event of the season. There are but a
limited number of tickets out, which are dis
tributed among tha immediate friends of
the association. 'He programmes, we are
informed, will be the most elaborate ever
distributed at any ball in the State. We
understand that there will be a number of
prizes offered for originality of characters,
and judging from the fact that there are
quite a number of aspirants for the same, a
lively competition is looked for. It is report
ed that several parties have sent to Europe
for costumes.
Avoid the Rush.
For the convenience of guests and friends
who desire to attend the Echo Reception ai
the Odd Fellows’ new Temple, Harris st r eet,
on Tuesday night next (Feb. 17th), who
wish to avoid the inconvenience that usually
occur in securing tickets at halls, can pur
chase the same at the Echo office, corner of
Buy lane and Jefferson street, to-morrow,
from 9 o’clock a. m. to 6p. m. Those that
fail to do so, can, of course, obtain them at
the hall on Tuesday night, from T. T.
Harden, the ticket agent.

GENERAL PRESENTMENTS
Os tin; Grand Jury of Chatham Superior
Court, December Term, 1881.
We, the Grand Jury, at the clone of our
term of service, make the following present
ments of matters given us in charge by his
honor, Judge Adams, and those brought to
our attention by the Solicitor General:
OFFICES.
We have examined the books of the Ordi
nary and Clerk of the Superior Court, and
rind tlie books exceptionally well arranged
mill kept, especially so is it with the Ordina
ry’s office. We find this office conducted in a
highly satisfactory manner. Tne minute
dockets, estate accounts books and records of
the greatest importance, are handsomely
kept. The general system of the office and
tne great facility with which the various
duties are performed are highly commenda
ble, and it is to i>e regretted that this office is
so thoroughly deficient in space and proper
apartments for tin* important books and
‘ecords which are so rapidly accumulating.
We deem it but simple justice to accord to
Judge Hampton L. Ferrill and to h s very
efficient clerk, Mr. Philip M. Russell, Jr., fuil
praise in the premises.
Upon examinaniou of the books of the
County Commissioners and Hie County Trea
surer, we find them to have been correctly
kept, a d all papers and vouchers in their
offices in perfect order.
TAX COLLECTOR AND RECEIVER OF TAX RE
TURNS.
We have examined the books and records of
the State and County Tax Collector and find
the same correct; the books neatly and prop
erly kept; the records and papers in system
atic order, for convenient reference, and the
general business of the office conducted in a
correct and businesslike manner. We find
the following amount of taxes collected up
to January 23d, 18S5:
On account of County (general) tax for the
year 1884, 885,000.
On account of State (general) tax for the
year 188-1, 855,872 04.
On account of State (specific) liquor tax for
1885, 818,000, showing the Collector well up in
his collection, and a faithful discharge of offi
cial duties.
We have examined the Tax Digest
for the year 1884, the digest
so 1885 not being yet open,
and find great cause for complaint in the
loo?e manner in which merchants return
their stock in trade. We find the returns in
some cases to be over 800 percent, less than
they should be, and we call the special atten
tion of the Receiver of Tax Returns and of
the Grand Jury at tbe March term of this
Court (whose duty it will be to make an ex
amination of tiie new Digest) to this fact,
and as far as may be, to devise ways and
means to correct the same.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
The Committee on Public Roads have in
spected the highways of the coun y in a
thoro jgh manner, and report them generally
(without specifying) in bad order. In their
opinion the roads in many places need re
buildingto such an extent that the work can
not be done by tbe ordinary road labor. The
commit ee would therefore suggest that a
part of the convict gang be detained under a
competent overseer to re-build the roads
where necessary, raising the grade, opening
ditches, putting in good trunks and doing
all work necessary to secure to the
people in the country easy means
of ingress and egress i to and from the
city. Good roads are a necessity If we desire
to see the country improve. Without good
highways people cannot be induced to settle
on lands distant fom tlie city. We u der
stand that the County Commissioners have
had under consideration a system of general
county improvement in connection with the
drainage system. This plan comprehends
i the preparation of an accurate map of the
c unty made by actual survey, in which will
be shown the public roads and bridges an
drainage canals. Such a map will be invalu
able and we trust it will be prepared without
delay. With such a map a system of public
improvements could be carried on intelli
gently and effectively. The county has a
large gang o*' convicts, which we would add
en passant, can be increased almost indefinite
ly by recruiting f om the hundreds of idlers
and'vagrants that infest our city an adja
cent country. With this force under proper
supervision, thec- unty can be systematically ;
and t.horoughl/ canaled; broad, well built
highways contructeu, and the country
from the Savannah to the Ogeechee
made a garden tilled by a pros
perous and healthy, and therefore a hap
py people. This is no fancy picture, but a
practical plan which can be carried out to its !
fulfilment in less thau a de ade. Now l'or
details
Augusta Road.—ln general fair condition,
some ofthe new work on the bridge lias been |
doin' in a very inferior manner, and will have
to lie replaced very soon.
Louisvilte Road—ln places almost impassi-;
ble, especially between the four and five mile j
posts, and between the seven and eight mile
posts, where there are two corduroy roads, I
over which it is impossible to haul heavy
loads, and between the 12 and J 8 mile posts,
where the road is very low and covered with
water.
The Ogeechee Road—llnxing been examined
by the County Commissioners and they being
about to have the necessary work done on the
causeways, wo make no further report.
tikidaway Road— Leading to the Isle of Hope
is in pretty lair order witli the exception of
ihe causeway near tbe isle, which is badly
washed out, and un ess attended to soon will
be impassable.
Pine Barren Road -In fair order.
White Bluff Road— We recommend a sub
stantial railway be put on Bridge at White
Bluff' church, and that a bridge be placed at
the culvert at the six mile stone, the bridge
to be wider than the road as it now is, and
secured by good railway,
Ogeechee Cross Roads—ln good order.
Montgomei-y Cross Roads—ln good order.
Middle Ground itoad—Some low places
need attention.
We would especially recommend to the
County Commissioners, who have now in the
convict camp about 110 convicts, to detail a
portion of them, under a com pet nt overseer,
to do such work on the roads as is now abso
lutely necessary.
SPECIAL STATE LIQUOR TAX.
We have examined the books of the Tax
Collector and find that out of 849 names res
istered, 844 have paid. Os U>e remaining five,
we are informed that two, although register
ed, did notcommence business, namely,John
H. Meyer and E. Barnwell (c). We therefore
recommend that they be not required to pay
the tax.
The names of tlie other three have been
handed in to the Solicitor General for his
action As «l«o has the name of one who is
doing business but has neither registered or
paid the tax.
JAIL.
• We have examined the building and find it
kept in a cleanly and neat condition. We
find a defect in the Water Works, and a leak
in the roof. We find also that it is necessary
for ventilators to be put in the closets, and re
commend they be attended to at once. We
found the books kept in a very neat and sys
tematic manner. As for the New Jail, we
have no opinion to express, as we have not
been furnished with any of the details, but
from our knowledge of the ground t hat is to
be used for that purpose, we do not think the
space large enough.
CONVICT CAMP.
We have visited the Convict Camp, and
Cuyler Swamp Canal. We found the Camp
well located, and the buildings and grounds
clean and in perfect order; the food and
clothing of the convicts as good as could be de
sired; the convicts, themselves, apparently
very healthy, there being but two
cases of serious illness out of the
ninety-one convicts who were there at the
time "of our visit. The physician visits the
camp twice a week. As the number of con
victs will probably increase, we recommend
that daily visits by him be made hereafter.
The small increase in cost would no doubt
lie more than repaid in the increased effi
ciency ofthe convicts. The County Commis
sioners deserve the thanks of our citizens for
t lie good work they are doing, and, as the
canal will soon be completed, we hope they
wii l be authorized to dig a similar one west
ofthe White Blufl road, draining the low
lands south and south west of the city The
cost of the whole will be repaid in the near
future by the increased value of tbe lands
drained, increase of taxable property and
improved health ofthe city and its surround
ings
MAGISTRATES.
The books of the different Magistrates and
Notaries Public, ex-otticio Justices, have been
examined and found correct, as far as we
could determine. Special mention is made of
the neat and thorough manner in which the
books of Magistrates M. F. Molina and
Waring Russell, Jr., are kept. They are the
models of neatness and correctness.
COURT HOUSE.
The committee appointed for the purpose of
inspecting and reporting upon the general
condition ofthe Court House, as well as the
practibllity of securing inereaseof room and
lacllities for transacting the business of the
various departments, beg to report that they
have made a thorough examination of the
• remises, have visited in person each office,
and learned from its occupants what im
provements and additions are indispensable.
We submit the following:
SUPERIOR COURT ROOM.
'l’he court room proper is large enough, but
illy protected against the beat of the summer,
and should be provided witli awuiugs.
There should be connected with this room
jury room and an office for the
Judge. We find that juries must frequently
be crowded into the Sheriff’s office, or taken
into the open yard In the rear of the build
ingas 1 lie only means of securing proper
isolation for them. The simplest necessaries
for their comfort are wanting, not even the
convenience of a wash basin is provided, and
Jurymen, when kept o T er night, must, resort
to the pump under guard to wash their faces
When kept in the Sheriff's office in hot
weather, they are not infrequently made
sick, so hot, crowded and illy-ventilated is
the room All that is said of t is depart
ment applies with equal correctness an l cm
pliasis to the City Court room.
OFFICE CLERK OF THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Both the office proper and the vault are en
tirely too small, and need greater facilities
for the storing and tiling of records. With
each year the volume of records increases,
"nd to-day there is no storage space left un
used. The desk facilities of this office are
deficient, and now the Clerk has to hire a
room at his own expense in which to nave
recording done.
ORDINARY’S OFFICE.
Here the same faults exist as in the last
named office, and even to a greater degree.
There are to be seen most important docu
ments, estate papers, etc., exposed on open
shelves or wh rever there may be a corner to
drop them in. The room * hould be double
its present size and proper cabinets fur
nished, so that the document -of the office
could be kept under lock and key.
RECEIVER OF TAX RETURNS.
Here the office is so small and the space so
completely taken up that the returns for the
past two years are now kept in a desk in the
open hallway. In this connection we desire
to distinctly say that the incumbent of each
office has made the most of the facilities given
him, and the deficiencies pointed out, in our
opinion, can only be remedied by remodeling
and enlarging the building We haveconsid
cred the pract cability of tblft, and through
the courtesy of Judge Harden we are enabled
tq lay before the County Commissioners plans
of the change, which would provide a Court
House both ample and commodious in every
respect. It is estimated that the cost of these
changes would not exceed 850,000. This ex
penditure can be met by issuing bonds for a
loog term, say fifty years, bearing G per cent,
interest, payable one thousand dollars each
year (the bond to be paid to be selected by lot.)
The tax burden would be almost impereepti
ole, not exceeding two cents increaseon every
8100 of taxable property. It is proper to sav
that the figure, 8-' 0.0(H), goes beyond the cost
as calculated in detail by 810,000 to 815,000, and
it is placed at that figure to leave a sure mar
gin, andat the same time show, even at that
outlay, how very small would be the taxa
tion necessary to meet the requirements of
the case.
Before closing our report, we again desire
to emphasize the necessity for the improve
ments we have pointed out. The present ne
glect to properly protect records might very
pioperly cost the County damages far in ex
cess of the money necessary to render the
loss of such records impossible.
One other point. It is not unreasonable to
assume that the present treatment of juries,
cooped as they frequently are, in narrow, dir
ty, unheaithful quarters, often hastens their
verdicts with a dispatch not consistent with
the mature deliberation expected of them,
and yet upon the jurymen the responsibility
of so serious a fault does not properly rest.
We are informed that reports more urgent
than this, upon this subject, have been pre
sented by previous Grand Juries
time and again, without reaching any «rood
results, and we now feel warranted in i
pointing out that the code provides for mens
-1 iires necessary to make Court Houses what
1 t hey should be.
CO UNT Y COM MISSI ONERS.
! In vie '»* of the fact that the commissions
ofthe present Board of Commissioners will j
expire in a short time, and knowing how ably
they have conducted our county affairs, we j
suggest to the Governor that they be reap-|
pointed.
! We recommend that the pay of jurors, both j
j grand and petit, for the present year be fixed j
at 82 per diem, and the pay of bailiffs at 82 per j
diem.
| We thank His Honor Judge A Prat t A dams !
I or the many courtesies shown us, and for the ;
very able charge delivered to us, and can only j
regret his inability to furnish a copy of the |
I same lor publication.
I To ex-Solicitor General Walter G. Charlton j
! we return our thanks for courtesies shown us j
whilst he was in office, and congratulate our \
fellow citizens upon the election of so able a
successor as the Hon. Fleming G. Dußignon, j
to whom we return our thanks for his kind-1
ness.
