verdict of NTansIaughter.

The case of the State VS.. Edward Decker,
indicted for the murder of William Reilly,
at the corner of Broughton and Drayton
streets, on Christmas eve last, which was
brought to trial in the Superior Court on
Wednesday morning, was concluded yester-
day, at IL O'Clock, by the finding of a YER
diet by the jury, who had been out from G
O'Clock Wednesday evening until IL O'Clock
Yesterday morning. The verdict was, guilty
of Granddaughter with recommendation to
the extreme mercy of the court" The evil
dence elected differed very little from that
given at the Coroner's inquest, which was
published at the time. and with which our
readers are familiar. There we're on the
iurv six white men and six colored, the first
Jury of the kind ever seen in the Superior
Court. As will be noticed by the court pro-
ceedings, the counsel for the prisoner has
moved for a new trial. Under the law the
sentence for manslaughter is from one to
twenty years; at the discretion OF the Judge.

Friends Of Temperance: Why were you not
all, every one Of you, and all your friends,
at Mozart Hall last nightg Was not the
meeting duly announced? Did you not
know that one of the most brilliant Tempe.
rance lecturers since John B. Cough was to
speak? Had ye forgotten that 1t is the duty
OF every temperance man, woman and child
to be on hand when the bugle sounds the
Rallyg Was it the few drops of rain that
kept you at home Has the blue ribbon
that few months ago was worn by over
two thousand sons and daughters of Tenn
perance SO soon faded and been laid away ?
No No This cannot be. Our Temperance
army may be reposing, but it has not dis
banded, and will yet march on to victory.
AS delighted listener to Mr.. CarswelI, l
feel mortified that SaVannah's cultured citi-
zens should permit so gifted man to speak
to small house. 1t can only be because
his reputation has not preceded him.
Go tonight to Mozart Hall and YOU will
hear lecture sparkling with wit and elo-
quence, and that will enlist your heart in
the good cause. 1t the ability of Mr.. Cars
well were only known, there is not hall or
church In our city that could contain his
audiences. He speaks only twice more.
Don't miss him. One of his funny stories
is sure cure for dyspepsia.

Hon. Edward Carswem's second

Hon. Edward CarsWeIEs Second
Lecture on Temperance.
The second Of the series of lectures on
temperance by Hon. Edward Carswell, of
Canada, under the auspices of Stonewall
Division, s. of T., was delivered last even
ing to an intelligent though not a very large
audience, at Mozart Hall, the inelemency
of the weather and various attractions
doubtless preventing many from attending
on the interesting occasion.
The meeting was opened by singing, led
by Mr.. J. a. Bates, Mr.. solomons at the or
gan, and prayer by Rev. Richard Webb.
The distinguished lecturer being intro
duced, soon had his audience in the very
best of humor, and few well timed anec
dotes, told in inimitable style, succeeded
In enlisting their serious attention to the
great subject under discussion, and in pre-
| senting it so happily and gracefully as to
| win the approval Of the audience. His
| style of argument and illustration is entirely
different from any lecturer We have ever
heard. His powers of delineation, his man
ner of delivery, the aptness of his anecdotes,
| were all brought into requisitiOn with great
| effect. His main topic was the power of In
dividual influence in controlling the actions
of men, in the line of moral effect. At one
time his audience was convulsed with laugh
| ter, when, by a kind of mesmeric influence,
the tide was turned by the presentation of
some pathetic picture, graphically drawn,
| which moved almost to tears.
In this condition he held the audience for
more than an hour. Those of our citizens
who fail to hear him will most surely miss
a great tseet, and we advise all who wish to
enjoy an hour os two Of purely intellectual
recreation, to say nothing of the cause
which he so ably advocates, to avail them
selves of the opportunity OF hearing his re-
naming lectures, which are all free to the
public.
Mr. Carswell will lecture again this even
ing al Mozart Hall at O'Clock and
on Sunday afternoon, at the same place, at
o'clock. On Monday night he will de-
liver his celebrated lecture on Laughing"
which has been spoken of by the press,
wherever delivered, as simply inimitable
end really enjoyable.
i cordial Invitation is extended to the
public generally tc attend the lecture this
evening and Sunday afternoon, which we
trust VIII be responded to by our citizens,
particularly the friends Of temperance re-
form

meetIne of the Land League,

In accordance with the call meeting Of
the Irish National Land League of Savan-
nah was held at st. Andrews Hall last
evening, the occasion being its first ami
yersary, and the celebration Of st. Patrick s
day. Tie hall was well filed, every seat
being occupied, and there was quite crowd
gathered at the door. The Mechanics Brass
Band was present and discoursed patriotic
airs at intervals. The proceedings were
opened with spirited and capital address
from the President, Captain NJ. j. Doyle,
which was received with much enthusiasm.
He was followed by MIR. 7. B. Gather
wood, well known here as a fine elo-
cutlonist, who read with excellent
effect Robert Emmet's speech in the
dock. The reading was listened to with
great attention, and its close was greeted
with applause. After the band played a
lively air, President Doyle, in few remarks,
introduced Rev. Father O'Brien, who was
enthusiastically received. The reverend
speaker proceeded to address the assem-
blage at some length, making very forci-
BILE and powerful speech on the sabiect of
the Land Leagues, and was frequently in
terrupted by applause.
At the close of his speech the meeting,
which was characterized by much harmony
and enthusiasm, was adjourned.

A Savannah Boy I'm Foreign Lands.
The following extract from letter to his
mother, written by young Bernard Murtagh,
son of Mr.. j. T. Murtagh, OF this city, who
is on the United States ship Marion, now
cruising off the coast of Patagonia, will be
read with some interest;
X owe left Montevideo on the
10Th Of December, on which day wrote
you a letter, but | suppose it was not post
ed until later in the month. We sailed
from Montivideo about o'clock, and after
s passage of twenty days arrived here at
Sandy Point. It is a small place-a little
larger than Port Stanley-in the Falkland
Islands.
Gas far as I can see, nothing but sealing
is carried on, as there is quite a number of
sealing vessels going to and from here.
ave were sent down here for the same
purpose that we were sent to the Falkland
Islands-to get good freezing-as we are
not allowed to remain in hot weather any
length of time, as the fever is likely to
break out.
"The furs of the different animals that are
to be found in this country are very pre-
cious, and l intend, II possible, to procure
some of them, as they would be quite cue
riosity at home.
ave intend to remain away from Monte
video until the latter part of March, when
it is supposed we will return home, but
rather doubt it.
"Our position here is at the south end of
the vast continent, and in che distance can
be seen the end of the longest range of
mountains-the Rocky and Andes.
"Since writing the above the mall steamer
has arrived, and by 1t l received, yours,
Toms and Mamie's letters of December Sd,
and eight papers, the contents Of which
perused with much pleasure.
"This place is nothing more than an
almost uninhabited island, barring the few
houses that are scattered around, among
which can be found more or less whisky, for
which the majority of the men would give
their last piece Of tobacco or last cent OF
money. We are to remain here two months
longer. The weather is growing colder
every day. The day breaks about $50 in
the morning Hand we have daylight until 10
o'clock at night"

Mr.. Edward Carswell, the distinguished
lecturer, who is at present on visit to our
citT, and whom many of our citizens had the
pleasure of hearing Wednesday and last
evening 10 advocacy Of temperance, has a
lecture on Laughing" which is said to be
a capital production and intensely interest
ing. It refers to his favorite subject-Tem-
perance-onlY incidentally, but is full OF
serious thought, and its teachings are en-
nobling and enlivening. He makes his hear
ers laugh that he may warm their hearts and
inspire them with new resolves to dare and
do for the right. As will be seen by refer
enes to advertisement elsewhere, arrange
ments have been made with Mr.. Carswell to
deliver this lecture at Mozart Hall on Mon
day night next. We expect TO see a large
audience present on the occasion.

Editor Morning Meas: Savannah viii yet
become surprisingly famous for her forest
beauty, when her tree culture is CONDUCTED
upon scientific and proper principles. Her
numerous squares, which are an exceptional
feature Of Savannah, afford opportunity for
q great display Of scenic or sylvan beauty.
Her soil is admirably adapted to q splendid
growth Of certain species OF trees, but not
as now obtained. The proper way to pre-
pare and obtain trees for the city Is the
nursery plan OF first raising from seed or
cuttings, thinning out, and, when of a
proper size, transfer them to their places in
the boulevards or squares. By this method
only can the symmetry, health and beauty OF
trees be attained. / would respectfully
suggest TO our city government the proprie-
ty of securing a suitable tract OF land or
utilizing, If they already have such, for the
purpose of nursery for the proper raising
of shade trees for the city.
In the selection OF shade tees, preference
should be given to the deciduous kinds.
which furnish shade 10 the summer, when
shade is needed, and divest themselves of
their foliage in winter, when no shade Is
needed, but all the sunshine we can get
/ would recommend the following list of
trees, which, observation teaches, are best
adapted to the soil of Savannah and the end
In view:
The magnolia, which, although slow of
growth, for size, foliage and floral beauty.
stands unrivalled. The sycamore, which
grows rapidly and furnishes splendid foliage.
The Pride OF India, which, IL properly
raised, would become tough and enduring
its flowers are odoriferous and its foliage of
vivid verdure, and-upon the authority of
DR.. Arnold, of grateful memory-is the
most healthful and refreshing that cap be
produced. The Sdgus Stereiad, that ranks
with the beautiful ar6aSaSs and Iilacs OF
Adare and Killarney. The live-oak and
the weeping-willow, which, II literally
planted through the city, would furnish not
only an agreeable shade, but, by their droop-
ing, graceful boughs, would cast tinge OF
romance upon the scene equal to the moss
wreathed beauty Of the renowned avenues
of BOnaventure. -
Others might be added to the list but
away with the plague stricken, miserable
swamp and water oaks, that only furnish
abode and succor to the mistletoe and are
an eyesore and drawback to the beauty Of
the city JEssAMINK.

are well trained, and their present tour has

River ImprOvements.

Editor Morning Meas; am very glad to
see that the efforts of Senator Brown,
Colonel Anderson, Colonel Fremont and
Others have been successful, and that q
sum OF money sufficient to dredge and light
the river has been appropriated by Congress.
One OF the worst places In the river is oppo-
site Fort Pulaski, shoal formed either by
the remains of the wrecks of the ships Sa-
bastacook and Thompson, sunk by the Con-
federates to obstruct the river just
after the taking of Port Royal by
Admiral Dupont, or the natural
growth of sand bar. The dredging away
OF this shoal should be one Of the first
operations of those in charge. A good
channel at this point, and a lighthouse on
the knoll, at or near where the lightship
was formerly anchored, viii at once greatly
improve the navigation of the river.
