INTRODUCTORY OVERTURE. Criminal news is distressingly dull in our city, owing partly to the vigilance of our star-labeled watch men of the night, and partly to a sort of mutual agreement amongst the regular visitors to His Honor’s Tem ple of Justice to keep out of that edifice until the overhauling and renovations now underway are thoroughly completed. This is cer tainly very commendable in our municipal criminals, for they, seem to have no desire whatever to crowd Mr. John Butler’s artists, who are flow engaged in putting the several rooms in the bastile in a condition that cannot fail to please the most fastidious criminals, who seek repose within its walls, or who have to listen to Captain Jack’s old song of “$5 and costs.” His Honor has not as yet had that song set to music, but it often proves a fearful set back to the unfortunates who cannot respond with the requisite price of freedom. But to business. “Captain Philopena Mclntosh. Please’, sir, step this way.” “Yes, sah, I’se hear, sah.” And Captain Philopena’s dark countenance was o’ershadowed with a cast of gloom, which bespoke re pentance from the top of his head to the sole of his feet. It seems that Philopena told a colored brother, who is in his employ, to go and at tend to something, which order was obeyed with such slow alacrity that it excited Philopena’s wrath, and he lit into him with a boisterous bunch of adjectives that was truly lamenta ble. But Philopena won’t lament, for he had $3, with which he settled the case. “Colonel Bob Ware.” "Here, sir.” “This way —stand round there.” “What’s the charge against the Colonel ?” “Well, your Honor, he was drunk and disorderly, and not considering him a fit ornament for the streets of our beautiful city I took him in.” It would appear from the evidence before the court that Colonel Bob was determined to have one more spree ere April flapped out and May flapped in, and he succeeded in car rying out his liquidating intentions -in an admirable manner. It is real strange that when our amiable citi zens wan’t to go on a real gentle spring spree they some how or other run right into the arms of a police man, as if their conscience troubled them and prompted them to meander always in the wrong direction. After weighing well the evidence Mr. Ware was fined $3 and costs ; $3 for the drunk and 75 cents for “ware” and tear of his constitution. Thus endeth the sixth chapter of the age of crime. Straws tell which way the mint julip goes, but you can’t always tell which way the young man goes who tries to carry an overdose of them. n The Masonic Fair. To-night will close the twelfth day of the Masonic Bazar and Fair, and on next Monday the third week of the exhibition will commence. Up to the present time the hall has been crowded nightly, but the interest of the public continues unabated and it is anticipated that the proceedings of the coming week will quite eclipse those which have already been wit-' nessed. A large number of valuable articles remain to be sold or raffled, and large parties of visitors from different portions of the State are ex pected to attend. It is a source of pride and gratification that the bazar has been so well patronized and that the prospects are so flattering. Personal. Col. Win. M. Wadley returned from New York by the Gate City this morning. Capt. G. W. Hussey and Dr. F. Y. Clark were also numbered among the passengers by the Gate City. Judge C. K. Brigham, of New York; D. B. Merriman, of Baltimore, and E. K. Kaine, of Boston, are numbered among the arrivals at the Screven House to-day. Mr. J. B. Holst and wife leave for New York on the steamship City of Augusta, which sails .at 7 o'clock this evening. Mr. F. E. Southard, a prominent lumber merchant of New York, is at the Pulaski House. Colonel Edward E. Vail,'proprietor of the St. Augus tine Hotel, and Colonel F. R. Hol lingsworth, of Chicago, representing the largest liquor house in the Union, are also at the Pulaski. Sweets to the Sweet. Some of our citizens seem to be harboring the erroneous idea that the old established candy and con fectionery store 162 Broughton street, once conducted by the late Mr. E. Hernandez, has been closed since the death of that good citizen. We wish to correct that erroneous idea, for Messrs. Isaiah M. Rosenfield & Co., purchased the stock, Goodwill fixtures, and every thing connected with the establishirient several weeks prior to Mr. Hernandez death, and have had the place thoroughly reno vated and fixed up in a neat and at tractive style. They employ all of the old workmen of the establish ment and are now turning out pure candies of all kinds fresh every day, and are determined to maintain the well earned reputation of that store for offering first class goods at the very lowest prices. Almost a Fight. Two Broughton street dry goods clerks got into a dispute last Wed nesday morning in regards a cer tain matter. They threw words at each other until their overworked tongues cried out for “a rest,” but blood was boiling, so it was mutually agreed to meet that evening in the Park extension and settle the differ ence in any way that might be agreed upon after reaching the battle ground. Each man was to bring just enough friends to ensure fair play. One of the warriors was promptly on- the ground at the ap pointed hour with his friends. He evidently meant business, but was disappointed in his fond expectation, as his opponent did not put in an ap pearance, and the cause why history fails to state, but we presume that the heavy due had something to do with it. The WaycroSs Short Line. A temporary schedule is now being run on the Waycross Short Line, antici pating the formal opening on the Ist of May, when the double daily service be tween Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston will be put in operation. Until that date trains will leave Savan nahdaily for Jacksonville, via Waycross, at 10 a. m., arriving at Jacksonville 5:45 p. m. Leave Jacksonville daily 7:30 a. m., and arrive at Savannah 2:50 p. m.

The river this morning seemed alive with steamers of all kinds and the sight was striking and beautiful. A large party will doubtless visit Tybee to-morrow morning on the fast and elegant steamer H. B. Plant. In the United States District Court to-day, John H. Callaway, bankrupt of Quitman, received his final dis charge. There is a two-story frame house in course of construction at the northwest corner of Waldburg and Montgomery streets. We are under obligations to Mr. L. W. Landersh® of Bolton street, for a beautiful Junch of pansies which now ornaments our. desk. The steamship Augusto, Capt. Nickerson, which is to sail from this port to New York this evening wi'A take hence a large freight. The steamer Plant will make her first trip of the season to Tybee to morrow morning, leaving wharf foot of Abercorn street at 10 o’clock sharp. Mr. Peter Brandholtz former pro prietor of the Walhalla saloon leaves for Philadelphia this afternoon with his family, where he will reside in future: The contractors were busy this morning substituting new flooring and other wood work for that which was destroyed in Stoddard’s Range during the recent fire. The Guards Band last night seemed to be in its glory. Its rendition of many choice selections, especially that entitled, “In The Cottage By the Sea” was perfect. The cornet player in this selection never inter preted it better. We learn that a number of neat cottages are to be built during the summer in the southwestern portion of the city. They jjill probably The rented to small famines of white per sons and be surrounded by yards suitable of being shaded by trees and otherwise made to look attrac tive. We learn that yesterday when the accident beyond ± l / 2 on the S., F. & W. Railway became known to the farmers in that vicinity they hastened to proffer attention and assistance to the wounded men, but as the unfor tunate were speedily sent back to Savannah, the kindness of the people was simply acknowledged by thanks. The price of lots in the southwes tern portion of the city has rapidly advanced during the past few ’"months. A number of lots which could have been bought one year ago at $l5O, are now holding at S4OO and upwards. The hall of the Chatham Light Infantry colored, at the southwest corner of Gwinnett and Montgomery streets is rapidly approaching com pletion. The roof is on and tinned, the weather boarding finished and the hands are now at work on the interior. The city of Augbsta which sails for New York at 7 o’clock this even ing will carry out a large number of Northern visitors who have been spending the winter with us. Thus we see the “swallow-ers” homeward fly- Maj. Jno. O’Poole, of hotel noto riety, will succeed Mr. Ben George as cashier of the Screven House. He is now employed in the Charles ton hotel but will come over the river early next month, and be in stalled into.the Screven House of fice with the usual honors. Hymen appears to have been on a raid during the month of April, es pecially among the hearts of the colored people of this county. Dur ing the past thirty days the,Ordinary issued seventy marriage licenses, of which number fifty-seven were is sued to colored applicants and thir teen to white. W. M. DAVIDSON, I~>B BRYAN STREET.
