Deserving the ola for n New


In the Superior Court yesterday morning
Richard Williams, colored, who was arrested
on a warrant issued by Magistrate Molina on
the charge of bigamy, and who was indicted
by the grand jury, was brought to trial.
The case attracted number of eolored PEG.
pie, who sec med to take lively interest in
the proceedings. 1t seems that Richard
took unto himself brevet wife during the
war, and continued to live with her ever since
until recently, and she was generally known
as his wife. They have eleven children, and
we're apparently cOntented until a few
months ago, when colOTed damsel named
Hannah johnson, from Augusta, became
acquainted with Richard. Then the trouble
c. mmenced. Richard neglected his large
and growing family and old wife, and com
menced running about with Hannah, and,
regardless of the fact that according to the
Revised Stature he had wife, gained the
consent of Hannah to marry him. The
license was procured and the marriage was
performed, and Richard babe farewell to
the old wife, and went off with
the new. This did not please num-
Der one, who was rather indignant at
the treatment, and hence she made
an affidavit, setting forth the above facts,
and bad warrant issued charging the sus-
ceptiOle Richard with the crime of bigsmy.
The evidence adduced was very clear,
aud the jury were not long In determining
their verdict, which was that Richard was
guilty, but, with the usual sympathy re-
commended him to the extreme mercy of
the court. The penalty for bigamy is two
to four years in the penitentiary, and
whether Richard is elected for the long OF
short term, he will have ample time to re-
feet over the folly of his Mormonistic pre-
dilections

Ths New Librarv-Savannah Benefl

Editor Morning Nsa0g; There are proba-
bly, few reading men who have not, at some
period OF their lives, been under obligation
to some public library. cannot forget
how, over a half century ago, access to
what would COW be esteemed q library Of
rather humble pretensions, gave me taste
for reading and for the more quiet enjoy
msnts Of life, thereby rendering harmless
many OF those temptations which are so
fascinating to unwarY and especially olsen
gagged youthful minds.
Tie library of the widest circulation must
be one whose volumes / have sometimes
met, each OF which contained the following
printed label: elm accepting the loan of
this book the reader thereby engages, after
reading the same within a reasonable time.
to keep it in circulation by lending it again
to some careful person. Those having
books which they are willing to devote to
general circulation can obtain these labels
gratis at No. 118 Haworth street, BIrken-
head"
There have been for some years several
very respectable libraries In Savannah. But
there is class of readers, anxious for in
tellectual improvement, to whom these
libraries are almost, II not positively, mac
NO0ciOfD- Lucy ale dbbdSuCQ W EOCIeLleB,
membership ia which can only be acquired,
If at all, and also maintained, at considera-
bic trouble and expense.
With view to accommodate such per
sons, few kind-hearted gentlemen of this
city have, for several months past, been
quietly arranging and perfectiDg a plan
which will prove an inestimable boon to the
class sought to be benefited, as we'll as
to all who may choose to avail themselves
Of the offered privileges.
A location central, light and well venti-
lated has been secured over No. 128 Con
gress street. Some three thousand volumes
have been procured, mostly by purchase,
but In part by the liberal contributions of
citizens and publishers. 1t was desirable to
make the library absolutely free, but it has
been thought best to make certainly verv
moderate charge of fifty cents per quarter
to cover the salary of the librarian aud rent
of rooms, while ample provision has been
made for all other expenses, such as fuel.
gas, repairs to books, etc.
1t should have been stated that the charge
OF fifty cents per quarter applies only to
those who may wish to take books from the
library to be read elsewhere. Admission to
the rooms aud the use of books there, not
to be removed, are free.
1t Is to be hoped that the citizens of Sa-
vannah, ladies and gentlemen, will exhibit
proper appreciation of this great benefac
ton by early and frequent visits, and they
are assured they will meet with a cordial
greeting on the part Of
THE LIBRARIAN.
