An Intekkhting Case -A ease of
much importance and interest was
[decided by the Supreme Court last
week. Several years ago, Capt. Dun
lap Scott, of Rome, was married to
Miss Mary Jones, an adopted daugh
ter of Dr. S. G. Hillyer. This lady
plied when her child, a little girl,
was only seven days old, after giving
fhor daughter to Mrs. Jaynes, daugh
ter of Dr. Hillyer, and wile of Dr. J.
W. Jaynes, formerly a citizen of
i Forsyth. Capt. Scott ratified the
gift of his child to Mrs. Jaynes, and
[committed her to the care and cus
(tody of this lady, who patiently and
[carefully nursed and reared her, till
she was more than three years of age.
i About that time ("not a year agoj
iCapt. Scott died. Soon after his
death, Mrs. Cleghoru, sister of Capt.
| Scott, asked that the child might he
1 allowed to visit her at her home in
Chattooga county, promising to re
turn her at the. expiration of ten
days. Instead of complying witli her
promise, she kept the child ami re
fused to deliver it to Mrs. Jaynes.
Dr. Jaynes immediately sued out a
writ of habeas corpus for the jiosses
siori of the child, arid tire euse was
argued before Judge Underwood, of
Rome, who decided adversely to the
claim of Dr. Jaynes, and allowed
Mr. and Mrs. Cleghorn to retain the
child. The case was carried to the
Supreme Court and the decision of
Judge Underwood .reversed, and the
little girl will be again restored to its
foster mother, who has no children
of her own, and who has grown to
love this one as dearly as even a
mother loved her own offspring. |

EH A ULEBTON II EG ATT i
SAVANNAH AOAINST CHARLESTON.
Charleston, May 20. First day
Charleston regatta: From the south
ern wharf the competing boats were
towed to the starting point by the
steumer Winfield Scott, and every
thing being arranged the signul was
lired, but owing to the roughness ol
the water the single scull shells were
not put In position, arid after about
an hour’s suspense the second race
came off, which comprised the follow
ing four-oared outrigger gigs: Ella
Lee,Electric, Independent Club; An
nie Carolina, Independent Boat Club;
Felicia, Palmetto Boat Club. After
the first quarter had been past the
Palmetto shot ahead, followed close
ly by tho Electric,the Carolina losing
ground. While rounding the point
of the battery the Electric rnude a
desperate effort to take the lead,*and
with the rapidity of lightning their
oars cut the water, but the distance
which the Palmetto had gained and
their determined stroke bade defi
ance to the Electrics. When the ter
minating point was reached the vic
tory was won by the Palmettoes, by
twenty-three seconds, in advance of
the Electrics. We understand that
owing to some uneontrolable cause
the Carolinas could not use their
light gig, Annie, and pulled the race
with the Wave, which is much heav
ier and harder to manage. Tho sec
ond race, which attracted considera
ble attention, was won by the single
skull, manued by A. B. Legate. To
morrow a more exciting race is antic
ipated.
