Sawmalj ®imea VOL. 6.—NO. HO. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. LATEST NEWS BY CABLE AND WIRE. The Conservatives in England Want In formation War Preparations Going on In Russia— Arraignment of the Loudon Dynamitei s— J ury Se cured in the Cluverius Trial —General N«-.ws Items. London, May 31.—The Conservative papers generally do not wish to vote ad versely to the government on the war credit but consider that the government ought to give the opposition more information as to the present state of affairs. All telegrams from India deny the reported resignation of Lord Dufferin. The military party in Russia continues to spread reports to the discredit of England. The latest is that the Russians captured at Pendjeh some of Sir Peter Lumsden’s des patches, proving that he encouraged the Afghans to invite a collision with the Rus sians, that copies ot these documents were sent to the English Cabinet, and that there fore Lumsden was recalled. St. Petersburg, May 11.—Advices through Vienna report that quantities of gunpowder and dynamite are being stored at several coaling stations. The work continues on the Cronstadt fleet. Odessa telegrams state that the troops which passed there just mobilized from reserves were hordes of unkempt peasant youths, ignorant of the use of rifles, which some were haidly able to carry. THE DYNAMITE TRIALS. Caaningham and Burton Arraigned This Morning. London, May 11.—The dynamiters Cun ningham and Burton, charged with treason elony and suspicion of being implicated in the recent Tower and Parliament building explosions, were arraigned for trial tc-lay in the Ceutral Criminal Court. The Attor ney General opened the proceedings briefly, stating the facts of the case as it stood. His remarks did not differ materially from those used in his previous arraignment of the prisoners He concluded his address by saying that it was his firm btlief that the prisoners were guilty of the crime charged and that he had no doubt the jury would so find when the evidence had been sub mitted. At the conclusion of the Attorney General’s address witnesses for the Crown were called to the stand. Besides other evidence introduced was that taken in inquiries into the explosions at Victoria and Ludgate Hill station on the underground road. THE CLUVERIUS TRIAL. A Jury Secured at Last. Richmond, May 11. —In the Hustings Court this morning, Judge Atkins discharged from the panel J. M. Ellett and A. S. Hooper, the latter by consent of counsel. Cause not stated. Witnesses proved that Ellett had recently said that he believed the prisoner was guilty, but that there wasn’t enough evi dence to convict him. The Court also fined him $25 for contempt, in speaking about this case. The panel of 16 was then completed by the acceptance of six Alexandria tales men. The Court then took a recess for an hour, after which the defence will strike off the list four names, and the remaining 12 will be sworn in as the jury, and the evi dence will begin. FATAL FEUD Ending in a Double Murder. Albany, Ga., May 11. —While W. A. Burch and Joshua Jackson were standing together Saturday night, they were approach ed by a young man named Wheeler, who was armed with a double barreled shot gun. Wheeler fired at Bunch, fatally wounding him, and a second shot struck Jackson, who is dying. The murders are due to a feud between Bunch and Wheeler. New York Stock Market.

(Chicago, May 11.—The speculative markets on ’change during the past week have been very feverish and excited, deals being chiefly in the way of scalping turns. With war eliminated from the list of influences governing values and consols cutting no figure, dealers have been deavoring to adapt themselves to the change and buy or se'l grain on its merits The bears, at the start, were certain wheat was so abundant that it had no value at all, if there was going to be no fighting on the other side. They argued that so much grain had been bought and shipped on war excitement which must be sold for whatever it would bring, that a big decline was likely. Bliss, Parker, Bidman and Cooper talked 80c before the week was out, while others declared 75c about a fair price on the legit imate situation. The visible supply did not show so large a decrease as had been expected, and forced dumping on country account and “short” selling by such constitutional bears as Jones, Wm. Murry and Webber caused something of a sag. Then a spell of cold wet weather gave the “crop killers” a good chance to expatiate on their pet bull theory and indeed the news did come in gloomy enough, reports being worse than any previously received. Mis souri estimates said the prospect was the poorest in the history of the State, the yield being put at not over 35 per cent of last year’s crop. Kansas advices said that not over 40 per cent was expected there, while numerous statisticians were out withjables proving that the whole winter wheat area of the West would only produce about 60 per cent of a crop. That outsiders themselves took some stock in this talk seems to be shown by the unusually heavy buying orders received and local operators soon concluded the market had been forced too low. Besides a rally was in order after the big “peace” break and Walker & Co., Charles Giflbrd and Ed Driner took hold for a turn. Anxious “shorts” bid prices up, and, though business was not particularly heavy, the feeling toward the close was buoyant. The bulls claim that all that is now needed to c<use a materially higher range of values is a good increase in exporls, and ihat when foreign markets recover from the severe shock re ceived by the sudden change from the pros pect of a great European war they will become lioeral buyers on the prospect of a short crop here. The recent large increase in speculation keeps our very heavy stocks from pressing on the market, and though it must be confessed they are not yet moving freely toward consumers, it is argued that the excess of list year will not nearly make up for the deficiency of this. FROM ATLANTA. Tiie W-r on John E. Bryant—Why Longer Cuinberetli He tJ.e Ground? Special Correspondence Daily Tinies. Atlanta, May 11.—There is food for reflection in the career of John E. Bryant I whose political death is fast approaching. I telegraphed you Saturday night that a war to the death had been organized against him, and that he would have to go. Yesterday’s Constitution contained a long, good tempered but very determined editorial on the subject. The paper but voiced the sentiments of the people. There seems to be but "one opinion, namely, that Bryant should no longer dis turb this part of the moral vineyard. lie BOILED UP WITH THE SCUM, and he must be dipped off with the skim mings. And now that Bryant is about to be forever relegated we may reflect on his strange career. It is a mistake to suppose that Bryant is not an able man, but it is a greater mistake to suppose that he is a well balanced individual. His head is too narrow, his eyes are too close together, he has the shrewdness of the proverbial Jonathan, and is a New England crank of the first water: Bryant says he has never felt what is usually called race prejudice; that to him A WHITE -MAN AND A NEGRO are the same; both are God's creatures, and stand equal before his eyes. That is his idea to-day. Twenty years ago John E. Bryant, in the flush of manhood, came from Maine to Georgia. What he pictured for the future no man knows but himself. His opportuni ties, had he chosen the better part, would have been grand. But he set his fa e against the white race, cast his lot with the negroes, fed them on words, fired their hearts with hate and discontent by recounting their al leged wrongs, and at every opportnity tore open anew the wounds that all good people were seeking to heal. For nearly twenty years Bryant KEPT UP H’S BLOODY COURSE. He feathered his nest with ignorance, passim and hate. Such a career must end in any land, but soonest in a country of in telligence, High hipdid wrong-doing will meet its end anu ils deserts j'lsi 2? 8 'J® as B i is continued lo> g enough. Wt/ls John E. fryant was paddling in one direction, bat tering at the comp.ss and praying for mutiny, the ill sMp of Georgia was spread ing her white sa'ls and gliding out of the storm of reconstruction into the harbor of peace. Two years ago four or FIVE HUNDRED NEGROES w ere in the halos the house of .rtsptaen taiives trying to nominate a ticket for Governor, I lend Bryant spvak. Eigh teen years alter the wav -*5 harangued that crowd of ignorant I Picks with a recital f every murder every terror of tuklux tim-8, 'Ascribing] details with a minuteuess ftltt was terrible. For an hour he told the most blood curdling stories. Amid it all the crowd was listless, NO ONE LOOKED FRIGHTENED, nt* one applauded, no one seemed to cans what Bryant said. He sat down amid silence and business prevailed. When I saw how his speech was received I knew that every thing was well. The ignorant Weeks had tired of his song. Bryant had gone too iar, and stood alone. His race is tfiio, his mis sion is performed; gray haired and friend less, amongst the people he has slandered, may he not go and go quickly? Why cum bereth he the ground? Pickwick. ROUGH CN PAIN. Cures colic, cramps, diarrhcea; extern illy for aches, pains, sprains, headache, neural gia, rheumatism. For man or beast. 2K aedoOc. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, MONDAY, MAY II 1885. THE FEDERAL CAPITAL. t Efficient Work of the New Cabinet— Recommendations of Collector T. F. Johnson. ! Special CorespondenceSavannah Daily Times ' Washington, May 8. —Secretary Man ning is rated to be the most popular mem ber of Mr. Cleveland’s Cabinet. His room * is daily crowded with ctliers, some of whom make of him the most unreasonable re quests; nevertheless he bears them all , patierllv and sends them away in a h ippy , frameofmind. The politicians derive more ■ satisfaction from him than any other mem- i ber of the Cabinet. He t> 1 s an applicant ■ for office frank Iv whether or not there is - any hope for him, and when he makes a . promise one may gamble without f j ar of losing that he wi 1 keen his word Under ; any circum -tanecs, while dealing with pub lic affairs, he never forgets that he is a t s raigh’forward and consistent Democrat. I happened to bt in his room at the Treasury Department a few m ornings ago when a < Western Democratic Cong-essman called to . urge the retenti n in office of a recognized t Republican worker. When the Congress man had concluded his remarks in favor o r i his friend, the Secretary asked if there was s good reason why a Republican who had ; done everything in bis power to defeat the present administration, should expect ■ to keep his office? The Congressman 1 endeavored to justify his cause by claiming t that his friend was an unusually capable and t efficient clerk and of great value to the » public service. s T. F. Johnson, Collector of Customs at f Savannah, has submitted to the Secretary of r the Treasury the following report in refer i ence to department circdar ca'lir.g for in ; formation upon the possi: 1 a reduction of the 3 force and the simplifica’ion of the work in 1 the Custom House. Collector Johnson sayt: s First—The building is cared for by a ’ janitor at S7OO a year, assisted by a laborer 1 ' and fireman at $360 per year, f have also in .i my offi ea messenger at $720 per year. . , These three offices may ba consolidated t I by making a janitor and messenger at SBOO I • par ye ar, an assistant to the same at S6OO i j per year: total $1,400 instead of $1,780, a i \ reduction of S3BO. I Second —We have at this port a. wharf i ' front of nearly three miles, which requires - I at least six night inspectors for its proper ■ j protection; as we have but three night in- spectors, one of whom has care of the Custom House building at night, the protection of ! the wharves from smuggling is more pre ; tence than reality. Temporary officers could be employed at night when needed for a ; vessel which could not be sealed, and two night inspectors dis ensed with, leaving one ■ night inspector for duty at the Custom House, a reduction of $1,460. Third—There are three day inspectors for the discharge of cargoes. One might be dispensed with May 1, and his place supplied early in the fall; by this a tem ' porary reduction would be secured lof say $547 50. As to clerks, as I have but I three—and this is the most important Cus- I tom House in the South with the exception of New Orleans—l think it evident that the clerical force is not excessive. As the department seems desirois of making some reductions, I respond to that desire with the above suggestions, recom mending the change in the night inspectors force, net because it is too large, but because it is io > small to be of any value. The business as conducted in this custom house, is, perhaps, as aim; le as it can be to present sufficient check upon the officers haudl ng the f.nds of the Government, and that it is sufficiently simple to be understood and carried out efficiently, is evidenced by the fact that every special agent who has examined the office, during my incumbency, has reported it in first class condition in every particular.” L. A Youthful Thief. A color id boy i.bont 12 years of age, named James Bruce, living on East Boun- j dary strew, near Dixon’s lot, was arrested this morning by Constable Wetherhorn on a warrant issued by Magistrate Waring Russell, Jr, at the instance of Mrs. Ann Jenken. The lidy chargel the tor with stealing. She stated that on November 18th, 1884, a man named Lawson while sleeping under a pomegranate tree, in the eastern part of the city, Was ap proached by the boy, who stole his gold watch and chain and twenty-five dollars in cash, which he adroitly abstracted from the sleeping man’s, pockets. The person who committed the theft was undiscovered until to day when it was made known by the re criminations of the boy’s mother and another wi mai who had a quarrel and ac cased each other if committing offenses The buy is also accused of stealing laces from a store on Eas‘. Broad street, and on this charge as we 1! as the other ample evi dence can be found to convict him He is I a small chap, but appears to have nimble fingers. rhe liehkilil ti’a Cadets Tailed to Win tiize. Tile Si?<innah Cadets, for several weeks prior to their departure to Mobile, took their morning coffee from Messrs. Fried & Hicks, and the sudden deprivation of that skillfully prepared decoction doubtless proved disadvantageous to them, hence they did not win any prizes. In any event Messrs. Fried & Hicks still mak« that coffee, and serve with it the best Vegetables the choicest meats, and the most select ;ame that the market locally and in the North and East cm afford. They cater to the bodily comforts df tteir guests as Well as to the gastronottucal as they have the patent fly estingulshet and automatic coiling revolving fans,'\vhioh always create a pleasant breeze. In a word, the restaur ant of Messrs. Fried & 'flicks is all that can be desired. First, it is cool, airy and scrupialouslv clean. Second, it has always prepared in the most palatable style, the best solid, substantial and fancy meats, vege tables and pastries. Third, the prices are extremely reasonable, the location accessible and eligible, and the proprietors gentleman ly, courteous and attentive. They deserve success and are enjoying it.—Advt.

Detailed Account of the Drill of Thurs day—Despite tile Heat and Other Dis advantages, They Acquit Them selv. s Well—Their Drill Com pared with Their Competi tors—Social Pleasures in Mobile—Comments of the Press. Special Correspondence Daily Tinies. Mobile, May 8 —Yesterday opened beau tifully but was rather warm. Long before 9 o’clock —the time spicified for drill to commence—the grand stand was filled. Owing to sime misunderstanding the drill was not commenced promptly at the time specified, and it was nearly 10 o’clock before the bucle sound brought the Montgomery True Blues to the field, the first company to contest for the $4,000 prize. They stood a rigid inspection, but were unsteady in the handling of their pietes. After the inspec tion the company was given a rest and blank cartridges provided This piece of | the business greatly demoralized the boys, I as they had never drilled with blank car : tridges. Attention was commanded as soon as the men were provided with shells, and j the drill resumed, which lasted a little over ■an hour, and did the Blues credit. An in i terval of a few minutes preceded the arrival j of the Savannah Cadets, who had drawn the I second place. As the Cadets marched upon the grounds in double rank with their handsome new uniforms aid helmets they made a tine appearance and received hearty applause. Captain Branch presented his , c mpany in the centre of the field facing the Grand Stand, and the men were then ! subjected to a mest rigid inspection and it ! is presumed, passed a very creditable one The distribution of blank cartridges fol i lowed the inspection. On the first start efl . in the manual by numbers the Cadets show ! ed a little nervousness and made a few mis i takes, but soon recovered themselves, and 1 in the manual without the numbers there | coni 1 be no fault found. In stack arms with the bayonets, there could have been no better, and the company wss loud ly applauded, and in the fixing and unfix ing of bayonets there could have been no improvement. In the loading, the Cadets did not come up to their standard, being unused to the shells, but notwithstanding the drawbacks they did very well, and the firing was like one gun, both in double and single rank and in kneeling, firing and lying down. The marching of the Cadets was verv good, and showed a decided improvement over that of their last drill. Their wheeling in columns of fours and platoons was excellent, and could not have been better. During the whole time the Cadets were drilling the sun was shin ing its brightest, and the 1■ at aassime thing terrific. Towards the ei d of the l drill there was a slight break in the left of the line, caused by the tottering of Corporal Sheftall. He made a brave attempt to keep up, but soon gave way in a dead faint. The substitutes were on the ground in uniform, and as Corporal Sheftall was borne away on a litter, Private Bacon was seen to take his place and the drill resumed, with the loss only of a few seconds. As the Cadets marched towards the grand stand there was tremendous applause given them on account of their pluck. Just as the drill was finished Private West and Quartermaster Cowan gave way and were borne off the field. Dr. Nichols, the Surgeon of the Cadets, did some effective work, and the boys were all right the same evening. The Musca tines were to have followed the Cadets, but owing to the oppressive heat, threw up the sponge and were ruled out. The Busch Zouaves were the next on the field, and the drilling of this corps was grand. They re ceived long and enthusiastic applause. The Mobile Rifles were next on the field, and the people all rose on the grand stand and gave hearty appl iuse. It was some minutes before Captain R iper’s voice could be heard giving the commands. They passed a fair inspection. In the manual by numbers the Rifles showed a little weakness, but did well without them. The Rifles did not come up to the standard, and the people were very much disappointed in them. Five of their men fainted and had to be carried off the grounds. The Montgomery Blues followed the Rifles, and as they marched to the grounds a hearty applause greeted them. You could see at a glance that this company was going to be hard to beat, and so it prove! before the drill was over. Taking it as a whole the Greys put up the best drill and the Cadets the next that took place to-day. To-morrow the drill will be resumed. Captain Flannery and family were on the Mobile, May 9.—Jhe d»f opened bright with a gdod BfSeze from the bay. Compahy A, First regiment Wisconsin National Guards, with drew, ftnd Company F of the Louisville Le gion, was the first to appear in competition. This company did very well, but as they did not come up to the standard of the one that drilled before them, I will not linger with them. The Columbus Guards were next, and with their handsome new uni form attracted general attention. The loading of this company was very poor. The manual was very good, but the best points were in the marching which was done in fine style. The Houston Light Guards came next and put up a drill that will be hard to beat. This company stands a good show for the first prize. The Lomax Rifles followed and kept up the reputation they made in the Maiden Drill. The Chickasaw Guards came next, on whom a considerable sum had been wagered. As they marched upon the field they were greeted with loud and prolonged applause They stood a capital inspection, anct in the manu.il thev were hard to beat. The firing of this Company was good, and the line and oblique marching was perfect. As they neared lhe end of the programme their captain fainted, and was carried off. He was soon followed by five men of his corps. They did mt finish, and are thus shut out of the prize. Yesterday Colonil Bentley gave a compli mentary excursion down ' the bay to the visiting military, and many took advantage to thus take a trip to the gulf. THE PRIZES AWARDED. At six o’clock, after dress parade, the Judges announced their decision, awarding ■ the prizes. As I have already telegraphed the Timee full details on the subject it is unnecessary to add more. SOCIAL PLEASURES. During this brief visit to the Q leen City of lhe Gulf I have met a great many charming belles and matrons and my clos ing letter would be incomplete without reference to the delightful courtesies we received at their hands. Miss Nellie Henry a young lady of rare accomplish s ments and graceful manners, whom I had j the good fortune to meet, tendered a few of the visiting gentlemen a reception at her hospitable home. Among those present, were Messrs. John C. DeLettre, : Julius Maccaw, W. G. Morrell, A. W. ■ BacotjC. B. Townsend, Lieut. J. F. Brooks, Dr. E, H. Nichols and your correspondent. For some reason unknown Lieut. Mell and ’ Private Bacon were not present, and thus i missed one of the pleasantest episodes of the • trip. As we entered the drawing room we found ourss Ives in the presence of a perfect I galaxy of beauty. Miss Leia Pepper, one j of the belles of Mobile, added greatly to the enjoyment of our visit. Miss ' Annie Dahm, a charming petite brunnette ! favored the party with some fine musical st lections,vocal and instrumental,and our gal ‘ lant Lieutenant B. who has an excellent v< ice, sang several duetts with Miss Dahm, and by request a sclo. Miss Louise Leßarron, whose dark blue orbs played sad havoc with the hearts of . the susceptible Cadets and I must fain acknowledge myself among the number was a centre of attraction to the guests. Her winsome ways, graceful manners and charming conversational powers were be witching. No less dangerous in the same line was Miss Corine Leßarron, who proved heiself a charming entertainer, and con tributed to rendering the evening one of the most enjoyable in our experience, i Mrs. Jennie Harris, a handsome brunette, Mis. Fleming and Mrs. Craighead, two charming matrons, were conspicuous at this reception for their graceful courtesies and attentions to the Cadets, and will long be remembered. My pen would fail to pay the tribute deserved to the fair daughters of Mobile for their kindness and hospitality. REMEMBRANCES FROM THE LADIES. Yesterday morning on entering the Captain’s tent at Camp Drum, I found a large box addressed to me with the conqli ments of Mrs Georgie W. Taliaferro, the ac complished wife of Alfred F. Taliaferro, Esq, one of Mobile’s most prominent and worthy business men, and a member of the extensive firm of Cavanaugh, Barney & Co. On opining it my sight was greeted with an array of choice cakes, etc, set upon a bed of lovily flowers. I summoned some of the “boys” and opened an attack upon the good things in vigorous style. Accompanying this wasalsoa beautiful basket cf rare fliwers, with the comtlimentsof Miss Lillian Tal j iafeiro, the attractive and pleasant daughter cf Mrs. A. F. Taliafero, and her “best wish es for the success of the gallant Savannah Cadets.” Captain Branch and myself were favored with a large delicious cake, pre sented with the compliments at d kind wishes of Mrs. Pope St. John, (whose rare accomplishments have rendered her popular in Mobile society) wife of A. Pope St. John, Esq., Superintendent of the Mobile Board of Trade. Miss Angela Forsyth, sponsor for the Cadets, was exceedingly courteous and de - lightful in her hospitality and attentions to the “bovs.” During the week she sent bas kets of beautiful flowers to the captain and members, and tendered the corps a reception. The Cadets appreciating her kindly inter est and attentions, on leaving the camp pre sented her with an elegant neck brooch. PREPARING TO LEAVE. In my telegram to day I stated that the Cadets had “struck” camp in the afternoon. During the evening they were all in the | , city, and could be seen roaming here and everywhere, taking in the sights prior to . their departure for New O leans. They ' felt they had done well and the fact that I they were not awarded a prize had no de pressing effect upon them. They left for New O: leans with the determination to do 1 their best, and they will assuredly make 1 as good if not a better record than they have 1 in Mobile. Certainly if the cordial wishes ! of the ladies, are potent they will return 1 victorious. OFF FOR NEW ORLEANS. The trains leave in half an hour, one for . New Orleans, and the other for Savannah via J Pensaccla. I have only time to add a few , words, and as I am homeward bound will , save “Uncle Sam” the trouble of carrying ; this epistle. The Cadets have boarded their ( train and were comfortably seated when 1 ( bade them good bye, and “God speed,” and , passed over to my train, which left first. ‘ G. H. R. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. vVt! Supplement our special correspondent’s letters with extracts froth the correspon dence of other papers, from which it will be seen that the Cadets made a splendid drill, and are entitled tb all the praise that has been awarded. PARTIALITY CHARGED. The special correspondent of the Atlanta Journal says: The Savannah Cadets ap peared promptly at 11:20, and after passing inspection, proceeded to drill. No especially big blunders were made in the manual, and the field movements were first-cUss. They made a very favorable impression on the spectators, who applauded them vigorously as they marched eff the field. Just as they finished drilling, three of the men fainted. Much dissatisfaction is felt and expressed at the evident partiality, not to call it by a harsher name, of the judges. This was par ticularly noticeable in inspection. THE CADETS A DANGEROUS OPPOSITION. From the Mobile Register. An interval of ten minutes preceded the arrival of the Savannah Cadets,who marched upon the grounds in double rank at 11:32 a. ro., their handseme gray and white uni forms showing to advantage in the bright sunl gh', and e'iciting a hearty reception frem the immense audience who had by this time gathered on the grand stands. $6 00 A YE AR Captain Branch presented his company for inspection in the centre of the grounds, and the men were subjected to a rigid and apparently satisfactory scrutiny by the judges. The distribution of flank cartridges to the company followed the inspection. In the manual by numbers some slight nervous ness was shown by the men, some few of whom executed motions repeatedly without waiting for the order of execution. Without numbers, the manual was excellent, the stack with bayonets being paiticularly good# and the unfix bayonets not to be improved upon. The swivel stack was rather poor, one stack falling; and “take arms” 'was rather rougn. In the loadingsand firings the Cadets had to contend with the same difficulty expert* enced by their predecessors cn the grounds. Unaccustomed to using cartridges in the drill, their load was somewhat irregular, but still an improvement on that of the Montgomery Blues. One man stooped in ranks to pick up a fallen cartridge. The kneel and fire in single ranks was quite good, and that in double ranks equally creditable. The rise from kneeling was well executed, and the fire by file in double ranks deci dedly pretty. On one occasion the Captain gave the order “left oblique” without the preparatory order “ready,” and half the company executed the command. “Fire lying down” was beautifully executed, “Draw cartridge” rather slow. In the marching movements the Cadets showed splendid training, and an improve ment over their performances of Tuesday last. In quick time right and left whee’s, single rank, with one exception in each case, the men moved with precision. Their wheelings in columns of platoons were shu excellent. “Left wheel” in double column, and “fours in circle, light wheel,” were fair. The marching double time was, on the whole, far above the average in point of excellence. The most noticeable error in those movements was committed when two men of the first platoon lost their heads during the wheel into column of platoons from a company front, and had to resume their places in ranks after the command had been brought to a hal'; while the feat ures of the double time, conspicuous for their accuracy and prompt execution, were: the oblique marchings in line with platoons in reserve order; the right and left obliques in columns of fours; the wheeling into line from a columns of fours; the “leit turn;” “in single rank,” anil “on left into line” from a column of fours. The Savannah Cadets marched off the grounds at ten minutes to one o’clock, hav ing consumed one hour and five minutes in the drill. yiie general impression conveyed by the per ormancts cf the Cadets seems to be that, barring officers’ errors, the command put up a remarkably good drill, and offers a dangerous opposition to the claims of other companies of greater note entered in the competition. In the loadings with blank cartridge the Savannah Cadets had slightly the advantage cf the Riflas. THE CADETS’ STEADINESS IN RANKS. Mobile Correspondence New Orleans Times- Democrat. Savannah Cadets, cf Savannah, Ga.. fol lowed. Their inspection was excellent. The first sergeant stepped back at the load. The cartridges did not worry the men as much as they did the Blues, but one man stooped to pick those up that he had drop ped. By the numbers a great many of the men were nervous and committed individual errors. Ason their previous drill, ti.ey again left their cartridge boxes open ' er loading. The admirable steadiness in ranks about this company cn their first appear ance with the blank cartridges was a great improvement over their first appearance, and their manual in line line was excellent. Their second expe rience with the blank carlridges was a great improvement over the first, and their fire kneeling was beautiful. The Blues had not done any shooting in these movements. The captain commanded fire at left ollique before ready, and a number of the men came to a carry after draw cartridge. The stack and fix and unfix bayonets were beauti ful. The marching in the line was splendid. The first company wheels were made without a flaw of any kind. The obliquing in quick and double time marching in line and by fours were excellent, the distances being well preserved. The double time wheelings by fours and wheeling in double time were of the finest description. In one of the platoon movements the position of the first four were reversed, and the remaining movements were executed while they were in that position. The swivel stack, rear rank in front, was a failure. The firing by ranks was done with precision and finish. In wheeling into platoons there was a break, and another in w heeling into line, owing to the strangeness of the mixed positions of the men. The wheelings while at arms port were wavering. The manual by the num bers was marred by individual errors. As they were preparing for the last movement one of the men fainted from the effects of the heat, which was intense. His place was at once taken by a reserve, and medical assistance given the sick man. They stepped the ground in quick and double time beautifully. After the drill 1 there was another “fainter.” The hest was certainly trying, and it is no wonder that; with the great length of the programme, the men were affected. The time of their drill was one hour and eighteen minutes; the time of the drill, aGde from inspection, being one hour and five minutes.
