On Monday evening, as Constable Endres
was passing the Theatre IN company with q
friend, his attention was attracted by the
cry Of murder" apparently proceeding
from one of the groups. that are always to
be found loa6ng in the vicinity on nights
when the Theatre ID open. he at once
fastened to the spot, and discovered q ne
gro, with drawn pistol, advancing threat
eningly upon another negro. He arrested
both parties and carried them before Mag
lstrate Molina, where they gave their names
as Caesar johnson and James Wright.
The latter stated that he was
standing near the railing Of
the SQUARE opposite the Theatre, when John
son came no and asked him roughly what be
was doing there's Wright replied that It
Was none Of his business, or words to that
effect. when johnson, who had q stick In his
hand struck him, A scuffie ensued, when
Johnson, it Is alleged, drew pistol, and
Wright uttered the cry which brought the
constable to his assistance. johnson denied
this statement and asserted that Wright had
drawn the pistol on him and that he took It
from him. johnson was walking arsenal,
so to speak, at the time ne was arrested, as
on his persou, in addition to the heavy stick
and pistol, were found large slung shot, q
naDer Of heavy duck shot, and a knife, be-
sides box of matches and 9 rabbits foot. A
warrant was issued charging the parties
with an ARRAY, and they were com
mitted to jail to await trial before
the CITY Court on Friday morning.
The action Of Constable Endres In arrestlng
these parties deserves commentator, as had
Johnson used the pistol some innocent
person might have been killed or seriously
fni1rad as thara were many DeODia on the
streets at the time The police find great
difficulty in keeping the front of the Theatre
clear, aud when any Of the loafng crowds
which congregate there resort to drawing
deadly wespons they should be promptly
arrested.

Tke Freight blockade and she Green
Line Cars.

Several days since an official notice, issued
by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
was published in these columns to the effect
that IN consequence OF the heavy increase
of business on their lines, and their inability
to move the accumulated freight-through
the negligence Of certain Southern railroads
Ia not returning their cars-no more
freight for the present would be
received for this territory. This notice ex-
cited considerable comment among the
business men, especially among the dealers
in grain, who felt the Inconvenience Of q
market almost bare of certain stocks.
The onus was thus thrown on the
Southern Roads Of causing this block
ade, and their failure to return the
cars could not be accounted for. We have
made inquiry in regard TO this matter, and
ascertained that so far as the Central Rail-
road is concerned, the complaint is I'M
founded. The cars are returned as quickly
as possible, and the order In reference to
refusal to receive freight for this territory is
only temporary, and will be revoked as
soon as there is a decrease in the
accumulated freights over the Louisville &
Nashville Roads. The facts briefly are
that all the lines have lately been taxed to
their fullest capacity In the matter of
transportation, and the freight blockade
complained of is not so much due to the
failure OF the Southern companies to return
the cars OF the Green Line as it is to the
want of rolling stock of the principal roads.
The freghts, however, are now being
moved rapidly, aud it is anticipated that
the trouble will soon be over.

The Georgia Dead In StOnewaH
Cemetery.

In the Stonewall Cemetery at Winchester,
Virginia, the remains OF large number of
the soldiers from the State Of Geor-
gia lie buried in the lot designated
and set apart for this State. The Ladies'
Memorial Association OF Savannah,
in circular before US, setting forth this
fact and giving the names of these honored
dead, say no steps have ever been taken by
the State that sent them forth to fight her
battles to commemorate the valor and
fortitude with which they performed
their duty; but to another State she has left
them indebted for the ground in which
their bodies rest, and to another people for
such care as their graves receive. Virginia
and Maryland, by erecting handsome monu-
ments, have each acknowledged their in
| debtedness to their own heroes,
| and it is now proposed that the
| people of Georgia shall attest
their gratitude and regard for her
| dead soldiers by erecting on the
| lot where so many Of them sleep fitting
| monument to their memory. With this OBJ
| ject IN view, TIE Ladies' Memorial Asso-
citation have Issued this circular with sub
scription list, and it is earnestly hoped that
the contributions will be liberal. Any sum
| Will be thankfully received, and may be
| forwarded to the President OF the associa-
ton, Mrs. Octavus Cohen, Savannah. 1t is
| hardly IL cessary to say more, after the pre-
| sentation of the above facts to induce those
who hold in memory the fame and valor of
our heroic dead to respond to this appeal.

CONFERENCE OF RAILROAD
PRESIDENTS.
The Commissioners Rates-The An-
terests of the Georgia and Central
Railroads I'm AIabama-Unfound-
ed RumoFs.

Col. c. T. Phinizy, President Of the Geor-
gia Railroad, arrived In the city yesterday
morning, and It was whispered around
that bis visit had some connection with the
reports IN reference to the alleged lease OF
the Georgia Road by the Central with
guarantee of eight per cent. dividend.
To this rumored movement, which has been
the subject Of discussion for some days past,
was attributed the demand for Georgia stock
and the rapid advance in price.
During the forenoon Colonel Phinlzy
called at the Central Railroad Bank 70 see
Colonel Wadley, and shortly after II. b.
Plant, Esq, President Of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway Company,
was seen TO enter the banking house. In
mediately thereafter rumors were current
that an important conference was being
held, and that the final arrangements in
regard to the Georgia Railroad were to be
completed. All these speeulations and ru-
mors were, however, unfounded, as, during
the consultation, we can positively state
nothing in relation to the lease OF the Geor-
gia Railroad and any guarantee was men
toned. Ia fact, no such movement has
been, or is contemplated, and the rumor Is
not only unfounded, but absurd. The pres

nothing whatever to do with the visit OF
Colonel PhinizY.
We learn that Colonel Phimzy came to
Savannah to consult with Colonel Wadley
in regard to the Western Railroad OF Ala
bams, in which both corporations are
jointly interested. This road runs from
West Point and Columbus to Opelika and
Montgomery, thence to Selma, and is
owned by the Central and Georgia. The
management OF this line, and certain other
matters connected with 1t, were
the only subjects Of discussion. Whilst
this consultation was 10 progress between
Col. WadIey and Col. PhinizY, Mr.. Plant
called In to see Col. Wadley in regard to
the best plan to be pursued to enable the
railroads to increase their earnings under
the Commissioners rates. This was
subject of great interest to
all three corporations, and was principally
discu sed throughout the remainder
of the conference. Capt. W. 6. Raoul and
Col. FL. s. Haine3 were also present and
participated in the discussion, which, as
previously stated, was confined to the two
suhiacts above mentioned.

House.

Mention was made In Yesterdays News Of
the arrest of one James B. Dllton, on the
charge Of entering the house Of Mr.. NJ. +.
Molina on Monday night, acting disorderly
and refusing to leave. It seems this indt-
vidual was forcibly elected from the prem
isss once, and returned again, aud was very
abusive. He was aErsigned before the 20.
lice Court Yesterday, when the small fine OF
five dollars or fifteen days was imposed. As
the man was not so intoxicated as not to be
aware of his outrageous conduct in thus in
vading a private house and disturbing the
inmates, the penalty inflicted cannot be re-
garded as excessive, to say the least.
