Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-05-27

Samuel Hamilton, a white man, who was
sent from the City Court to the chain-gang
lately for three months, being found guilty
of petty larceny, severely cut his left arm
with an axe, thus manning himself, to avoid
work He was returned to the jail, where
his wound. which is a serious one, was
dressed. Hamilton attributes his mis-
fortune to whisky drinking, and asserts be
was innocent of the offense for
which he was convicted. He was
in fear of being punished for not working,
and hence cut himself. He is very much
oppressed Ia mind, expressing the wish to
some visitors yesterday that he was dead.
He is a man above ordinary education, and
claims to be respectfully connected and
once to have been in the possession OF ample
means.
His case is q sad one, and should have
the consideration of some Of our religious
philanthropists. With the proper considera-
ton and kindness he might be reformed
and made a good citizen. He came here
from Florida some months ago.

REPUBLICAN BLUES.
an Enthusiastic Meeting-Change
of Uniform Probable.

A very enthusiastic special meeting Of
the Republican Blues was held last evening
at their armory. The attendance was re-
markably large, there being fortY-fve mem
bers present, including large number Of
the stauneh and faithful old members of
the corps, who evince the liveliest interest
In its welfare.
The object of the meeting was to consider
the advisability of making a change in their
uniform, returning to the handsome uniform
worn by the company in ante bellum times,
when the military spirit was at its height
In Savannah. The subject was discussed
with considerable interest, Veteran Member
P. NJ Russell faVoring the change in a very
appropriate and earnest speech in behalf of
the old members Of the corps and referring
to their undiminished interest in its future.
The movement received general favor,
and, on motion, the following committee
were appointed to take into consideration
the proposition, and submit a report as to
the best plan of making the desired change
at the ensuing quarterly meeting, when
definite action will be taken, to-wit: Vete-
ran Member p NJ. Russell, Veteran Frank
NJ. Molina, Veteran John Glatigny, Veteran
Moses j. SOlomons and Member B. H. Rich
ardson.
The meeting last night was exceedingly
encouraging to the commanding officer,
and demonstrated a revivifcation of the
esprit dIt corps which IN former times made
the company famous.

Augusta Orphan Asylum.


We have received from Mr.. George M.
Thew, Secretary and Treasurer of the Au-
gusta Orphan Asylum, copy Of the pro-
ceedings of the 2Sth annual meeting on
April 10th last. The society was organized
under an act of incorporation passed by the
Legislature in January, 1852. A house was
rented In 1855 and placed in charge of
a matron, and four orphans were
ADMITTED to the privileges of the society.
Ia December, 1856, the society received 8
liberal bequest in the will OF Isaac
s. futile, to the amount of
$4,000. including his private residence.
Previously the City Council of Augusta had
appropriated two hundred shares Of Geor-
gia Railroad stock to the asylum, and the
'Tuttle House" was at once fitted up for
an Orphans Home, and occupied as such
for about seventeen years. In January,
$500, 900 from DR.. Geo. NJ. Newton, and
with this increase OF means determined
upon the erection of a larger and more suit
able home. This determination was carried
out in 1873 the new building was occupied,
although not entirely fnished. 1t, how
ever has comfortable accommodations for
one hundred and ten children, with the
necessary officers and employees. 1t will
thus be seen that the society was fortunate
In possessing ample resources.
On the 1st of April, 1880, there were In the
asylum 103 children. Since then to the LIST
OF April, 1881, received 80; returned to
parents or relatives and bound out, 81;
died, none; leaving in the asylum at the
date last named, S4-54 boys and 30 girls.
The aggregate household expenses for the
year ending March 3lst, including salaries,
servant hire, farm charges, etc., were 3d.
S45 O5; for the preceding year they were
$40, 1872 so. II will be observed that in pro-
portion to numbers the expenses of this
year have exceeded those OF lastyear. This
is attributed by the Presi eut to the ad-
vanced price of necessary "a plies.
The Union Society, of thu, city, in charge
Of Bethesda Home, with less resources,
makes an exhibit possibly more satisfactory
than the above, and the friends OF the In
stitution should give it renewed and cordial
support.

TIE NEW HOTEL.
what 4. Thought of 4. at the North.

The discussion in reference to the build
ing Of new hotel in Savannah is attracting
attention abroad, as viii be perceived by
the following sensible comments in the
Hartford (et.) Tunes:
"Savannah's leading citizens and capital
lists have had meeting to discuss a sugges-
ton for forming joint stock company with
$780, 600 capital, to build a spacious first
class hotel. The existing hotels of Savan-
nah do not accommodate the winter tide of
travel, good deal Of which makes a pause
at Savannah on its way to Florida and the
people OF that handsomely arranged city
rightly argue that IL they had irst-class
hotel, hundreds Of people of means would
make Savannah their stopping place
for weeks, instead Of merely passing
through the place, as now. This
would be especially true of the Florida
winter tourists on their return. Having
left Palatka, Enterprise, Green Cove
Springs, Jacksonville and st. Augustine in
the warm days of the Florida April, con-
siderable part of the northward turning
crowd would no doubt be tempted 20 linger,
during the last part of April and the first
part of May, in the beautiful city OF SSvan-
nah, where the conveniences of city life are
pleasantly associated with the most charm
ing natural scenery, such, for example, as
OPS~NAOA1
oak-shaded public squares, twenty
or thirty of which, beginning
at every alternate street corner
extend entirely through the city. Some of
the chief streets have grassy promenades in
the middle. In the season during which the
larger number of visitors would be likely to
tarry-in the last half of April aud the first
days of May-the live oaks and Pride of In
dIa trees in the streets and squares are vocal
with the music of mocking birds, whose
nests are in the branches. Beyond the city
Is the noble domain of Bonaventure, shaded
with its spreading live oaks, and dis
closing inviting vistas along its at
tracing avenues. Savannah as a COM
mercial city and a railroad centre
also offers much to interest the Northern
traveller. 1t is at least the second cotton
port of America, and its lumber and other
exports are large and important. With
really first class hotel, it would probably
induce good many Northern visitors to
spend their time and spare change there,
without going to Florida, for its winter eli
mate, though not quite equal to that Of
most parts of Florida, is still mild and
pleasant, permitting roses and japonicas
oftentimes to bloom in midwinter, and the
leaves to remain green on the live-oaks."

ANEW Savannnh Bul,t yacht.

Mr.. Charles Westcott has just completed
building handsome pleasure yacht. on an
original design, and differing considerably
from similar crafts in these waters. She is
partially modelled on the style of boats
North, known as penny Bridge, is twenty
feet long, seventeen feet wide and about
fourteen feet beam, her mast being thirty
six feet high. When under full sail she will
carry over two hundred yards of canvas.
The main sail will be about one hundred
and thirty yards and the jib about seventy
yards. Mr.. Westcott is confident she will
prove very fast sailer, and it is probable
she will make her maiden race in the Fourth
of July regatta.
She was built in the yard Of the Upper
Cotton Press, at the foot of Montgomery
street, In the short period OF eleven days
and without the use of a rule, which is
rather remarkable, considering that Mr..
Westcott is not a mechanic and had no
skilled experience. The future will deter
mine the correctness of his anticipations in
regard to her speed.

ROYAL ARCANUM.
Payment of $4,000 Benent to the
Family of Rev. Mr. COrley.

The family of the Rev. Robert j. Corley,
yesterday received through the officers Of
Pulaski Council No. 153, Royal Arcanum,
of Savannah, the sum of 5000, being the
amount Of his benefit certificate as a mem
Der of said Council. Mr.. Corley died in
Florida in the latter part of March last. and
the promptness with which this benefit has
been paid is another evidence of the standing
of this order. The Supreme Council of the
order wss in session at Cincinnati at the
time official notification of the death was
received, otherwise the amount would have
been paid even with more promptness. Pu-
laski Council has been organized since 1873,
and numbers one hundred members, repre-
senting the best class in our community.
The death of Rev. Mr.. Corley is the first
that has occurred in its membership.

Georgia Railroad StOck-A Big Flu
ture Transaction.

The following, which we clip from the
Macon Telegraph of Yesterday, will be of in
terest to those who are operating in railroad
stocks:
"On Tuesday last a novel contract was
entered into by Col. Vim. B. Johnston and
General Toombs. In Ripley 81 Solomon's
office quite party of railroad men were
gathered, among them Gen. Toombs. The
General, in his usual way, declared that
Georgia Railroad stock would not be worth
140 10 six months, and offered to furnish
any one with thousand shares, sellers OPP
ton, at that figure, in six months. Colonel
Johnston stepped up and agreed to take the
shares at the figure and upon the terms
named. Gen. Toombs stated that he would
not make any such contract unless $40, 600
was put up as margin. Col. Johnston told
him the money would be put up In the
morning.
