At ID o'clock the President announced
the first toast:
+ 81. PQtrick's D05-As the season which
brings it to Us wakes into beautiful life
I the charms 81 nature, 50 its coming causes
the happy memories which cluster about
1 il ~ put forth their green leaves anew
and delight as with their fragrance.
Which was responded 70 By Hon. j.. w.
7 Meldrim. The speaker was very happy
/ 10 his response and although he started
out with the assertion that the pathos and
+ sentiment Of the toast could not BE- voiced
+ Dy him. he did not succeed Ia impressing
/ his hearers with the truth Of his assertion.
-. Patricks day was a national day.
+ because it is day Of memory.
Y II had no other existence. II is the
+ memory 81 other days that viii never
come back that forced its observance.
+ Those memories We're dear 10 all Irish
men. and II. Patrick day would continue
/ ~ be observed for all time 10 come. He
-enthused his hearers into hearty ap-
I plause. which was almost deafening as be
I took his seat.
Tue second toast was:
Otr InClted Guest5-Nith our friend
shin We surrender to them the keys Of the
/ larder. and bid them lay waste.
Responded to by Capt. George a. Mer-
Ger in one Of his happiest efforts. His
I introductory remarks We're humorous,
. and be finished with a beautiful tribute
70 the invited guests" which ST. Patrick
had brought into ireland, viz: The Priests
I and Sisters Of Mercy.
In a polished and scholarly manner
4 Hon. W. g. Charlton responded 10 the
third toast:
IrsiQnd- Though walls Of gloom hedge
her IN, and the darkness Of sOrrOwful
/ night receives her undaunted form, the
/ glory Of her past, like pillar Of fire, will
I guide her through the dangers which at
tend her, safe into the light once more.
Hon. VIM. ID. Harden fairly exceled
himself in his response to the fourth
[ toast:
WomnH-In all times the priestess Of
the heart, keeping aglOw the fires which
make it pure-we tender her that chiy-
{ alric devotion which her charms and yir-
tues have ever commanded.
He had been called on four days ago 10
prepare for this response. 1t was the
greatest task be had ever been given. In
admiration, devotion and love for woman
he Welded to no man, but in ability to eX-
tOl her properly he bowed to many. Four
days was too short a time 10 prepare for
his subject. That time wouldn't suffice
to tell Of wOman's faults, or four years to
tell Of her virtues.
There was never just woman. If wO-
man was just man would be in a misera-
bic plight. WOman's great heart full Of
sympathy prevented her from being just.
And yet justice was always represented
as "A woman. She holds the scales, but
happily for us she is blndfolded.
Judge a. i. Adams was eloquent in his
response to the fifth toast:
The Judtciary-The last, as it is the
first. refuge o. constitutional liberty,
amidst the dangers Of treason and anar-
chy its ermine, showing like the white
plume of a knight in battle. tells us that
justice still lives and struggles in the
lists.
Hon. r. Z. Lester responded to the
sixth toast:
Sdrdnndh-Tried by war and pestilence
and want, prosperity again sheds its rays
upon her institutions, and inspires US
with the hope that the old age succeeding
/ her honorable youth, clothed in dignity,
may be blessed with peace.
Though coming late on the pro-
gramme he hoped his would not be the
clay Of the last Minstrel" and he desired
to deliver his lay in style expressed by
a member the Georgia Legislature, who
alluded to his enemy as standing pros
trate before him." His recital Of the
many times that Savannah had been
tried since the first revolution was greet
ed with enthusiasm.
The fifth toast;
our Sister SOcietieS-C Comrades in the
contests OF good fellowship: as they grow
old in honors may they keep young in
heart
Was responded TO 10y Maj ohm Cunning
ham, Vice President Of the st. Andrews
Society. At each recurring anniversary
Of these societies the other society was al
ways represented. In his remarks he
hoped the long friendship which had ex-
listed between the societies would always
continue.
The eighth toast:
Ihe Press-Its truthfulness and indie
pendence are among the supports Of gov
eminent and Order--received full Justice at
the hands Of Mr.. b. II. Richardson, who
delivered a carefully phrased response. In
closing his remarks he proposed a SEN
timent, "Our host, the Hibernian Society,
may its future be as prolific of honor as
has been its past"
The effort Of p. J. O'Connor, Esq, who
responded to the ninth and last Of the
regular tOasts, was greeted with long APP
I plauSe:
GeOrgid-With pride in her past, and
confidence in the love and loyalty Of her
children, she moves onward with fearless
steps into the mysteries Of the days to
come, her sovereignty upborne by the
strong arms Of her sons and her glory
safely guarded in their hearts.
Volunteer toasts were called for. Mai
Bonaud, President Of the French BenevO-
lent Society, was called upon, and after a
few happy remarks, he sang the Mar
seillaise hymn, in which he was joined by
the company.
Mr.. Charles Gassman responded for the
German Friendly Society.
Major Jordan +. Brooks and Mr.. NJ. A.
OByrne sang vocal duet, ''Ship Alloy"
which was highly enjoyed.
Mr.. DesbOuillOns apOlOgiZed for speech
making by rendering a French song. Hon.
| j. w. Meldrim was called on to render
the same song in English, which he
| promised to do one year hence.
ID. A. O'Byrne, Esq, delivered very
| eloquent speech on Ireland.
Cornelius Willingham responded to a
sentiment proposed to the MORNING
NEWS.
The health Of the stewards was pro-
| posed and drank, and one Of them, Mr.. A.
