TO OPPOSE THE BILL.
Democrats to Take Action Against
Change in Registration.


4 circular has been sent out, addressed
to large number of the democrats of
Chatham county, aud especially to those
who are interested in and oppose the pro-
posed local legislation with regard TO
changing the manner of the registration
of voters in the county elections. The
circular is as follows, and was received
yesterday by those to whom it was sent:
Savannah. Oct 81. 1s93-Dear Sir:
You are respectfully requested to attend a
meeting in the Catholic Library hall, on
Thursday. Nov. ? al Sis o'clock p. m, Of
democratic citizens wlo are opposed to the
course pursued by the representatives, from
this county in regard to proposed losal legis-
lation, and especially to that bill changing the
present registration laws. Very truly,
JOHN r. DILLON,
G. VI. RIVALS
p. G. O'CONNOR,
w. p BAILEY,
J. F. LANE,
J. H. EsTILL,
J.J. SULLIVAN.
A large number of the circulars were
sent out and the meeting will no doubt be
a large and enthusiastic one. IL is well
known that there are many democrats in
the county who are strongly opposed to
any such legislation and they will use
every effort to defeat the measure before
the House committee which viii
have it in charge. It has not yet been
decided just what course will be pursued
at the meeting, but it is more than proba-
bic that when the time comes a strong
delegation viii be sent to protest against
the favorable recommendation of the
bill by whatever committee it may be be-
fore.
1t is understood that there will also be
a meeting tonight of those who are in
favor of the proposed bill and that they
will endeavor by their action to counter
act any efforts that may be brought to
bear to oppose its passage. 1t IS not
known, however, where the proposed
meeting will be held, or what action will
be taken to urge its passage.

Herne, was produced in the Boston Mu-
scum Monday evening. According to
dispatch from the Hub, the piece SIS
drama of rustic New England life, and
the scene is laid on farm near Bar Har-
Dor. Two brothers own the farm jointly.
1t was bequeathed them by their mother,
with the condition that they should never
sell it. Brother Martin. in the absence OF
Brother Nat, is induced to cut it up into
building lots: but Nat objects, because
the land contains their mothers grave.
This leads to a family quarrel. Martin s
daug liter, Helen, elopes with a Free
thinking, homeopathic physician. The
scenic picture in act II is lighthouse,
with a view of Frenchman's Bay,
and there is a spirited representation of a
sudden storm, showing the fishing smack
carrying the eloplng lovers, tossed about
in the waves. But the play deals with
character rather than with incident. Mr..
Herne has tried once more to put the rural
New Highlander, as he sees him, on the
stage. There are twenty nine personages
in the play, mostly types. Old frequent
ers of the Museum were reminded of j.
T. Trowbridge's "Neighbor lakewood, -
an ante bellum play, involving the New
England abolitionists and the under
ground railroad. Perhaps Mr.. Herne's
new play will equal that in popularity.
After act III the author came to the front
and expressed his gratitude for the APP
plause of The audience. -

Thomas Cunningham. one OF the pilots,
related the story of the two days tight.
Said he:
Nothing stood in our way, we swept
the bay. Old wooden ships like the Cum
berland and Congress were as toy ships
against the destructive power of our IRON
clad. The whole Union fleet, those that
could, sought safety in hight-the Min
nesota, hard aground and helpless off
Newport News Point, did all she could to
stem the battle. They were nothing more
than sheets of paper against US. Many
an old sailor heart was broken that day
to see the grandest wooden vessels in the
world annihilated.
The second day, the 9th, was just such
morning as this-quiet and gray, chill
enough in the air to brace one for the
coming fight. We came down from the
anchorage, running down as far as the
flat ground. Then we started for the
Minnesota, off Newport News Point Sud-
denly we saw craft of kind we had
never seen before come from behind the
Minnesota. And we slowed down and
waited. ssWhat kind of thing is that?'
we asked ourselves.
! can't give exactly the pilots Ian
guage; it was very forcible, really more
picturesque than polite, but very graphic.
Finally one of our officers who had
been north within short time said it
must be the IRON clad built in New \ ork.
Heading up stream we began firing.
The Monitor made no reply. but quietly
and steadily steamed toward US until
within very close range of us-then she
let fly shot, and l tell you there was that
about that shot that made me feel we had
met something that would interrupt our
career.
The artist, after some further details of
his study, proceeds:
But gradually the picture grew in my
mind and at last l possessed the vision. A
calm morning, silver-gray, quiet and
peaceful. IL the distance, at the right,
are the masts of the sunken Cumberland,
her ensigns still flying at the spanker
peak. The land visible still further to the
right is Newport News Point, an import
ant position commanding the entrance to
the James river. The frigate Minnesota
aground, with tug alongside, is also on
the right OF the picture in the middle dis
lance. In the center of the foreground is

fight, all her deck hamper slowed away,

THE FIGHT OF THE MONITOR AND mERRrmAc

nothing on or above her deck except the
square, box-like pilot house, the turret
and the flagstaff with its ensign flying de-
tiantiy. AT the left is the Merrimac burn
Ing soft coal and sending forth great vol
umes of black smoke from her smokestack;
she is all battered and torn from the two
days contest, looking like a huge levi
athian with evidences of her destructive
power in every inch of her sloping sides.
The time in the combat chosen is when
the Merrimac, having for nearly an hour
manRuvred for a position in order to ram
the Monitor, to the orders, ''Now go
aheadl Now stop! Now asternl' had
at last received command, eco ahead!"
end the commander of the Monitor watch
ing closely his antagonist, had put his
helm hard aport. so that only glancing
blow struck his vessel.
WHY BOTH BOATS DIDN'T BEAT.
When the Merrimac, in the first days
contest, sunk the Cumberland by run
ming her down she ran into the Cumber-
land at full speed, and her bow with ram
attached went SO far into the Cumber-
lands side that when she tried to reverse
and back off she could not at first do it;
but suddenly, after while, and after
particularly powerful wrench she got
free, the glorious old Cumberland sinking
slowly. They did not know at the time,
nor for several days after the battle, that
in the hull of the Cumberland was left
the steel ram of the Merrimac.
Many of the men that were in the Mer-
rimac think that if they had not lost their
ram they would have sunk the Monitor
when they struck her that glancing blow
the day OF the fight.
But then again Admiral Worden feels
that if he could have used thirty pound
charges of powder instead of the fifteen
pound charges, which was a peremptory
order from the bureau of ordnance for
him to use, the contest would have been
shorter and the result more decided.
However. it was a battle in which both
sides were physically. completely ex--
hausted, and it was a glorious battle; and
battle that all Americans, north and
south, can look to with pride.

MONITOR AND MERRIMAo.
The Great Sea Fight Thirty-one Years
Ago, March 8. 1862.
by W. F. Halsall.l

by W. F. Halsalll
The battle between those two wonder
Jul boats at Hampton Roads on March 9,
1862, always seemed to me fascinating
subject for historical painting, and for
years the thought possessed me to en-
deavor to put on canvas an incident of the
fight, to depict some particular pointin the
battle which would give an idea of what
those two iron monsters accomplished
under the guidance and skill OF their COM
manders aud through the courage and en-
durance of the officers and crews.
THE CLEAR GRIT OF THE FIGHT.
History does not record a grander naval
battle than the one fought between those
ungainly, iron -casemated, unpicturesuue
boats. The old-fashioned ships of war,
whether frigate, line of battle, or sloop
of war with their tapering spars, clouds
of canvas and thousands of ropes, were
an inspiration to the sailor, who could
see the flag under which he fought blow
out against the blue of the sky, giving
him the courage that makes men fight to
the death. There was pomp and gran
deur about it all not found on those IRON
clads.
Think of the darkness and gloom be-
low decks on the Monitor during that
battle. Think of the nervous strain on
the crew of such craft sunk almost to
the level of the water, all daylight ex-
Guided and only the light of lamps that
would burn but dimly in the close air
between decks-men fighting without
any knowledge of how the fight was GO
ing or how near victory or defeat they
were. tell you that was test of nerve
force and courage.
In contrast with the picturesque naval
pageant of the old fashioned wooden ships
in battle, with all the sails, blocks and
spars and flags flying, we have in the fight
between the Monitor and the Merrimac a
struggle between two ungainly iron
boats, one of which was comparable to
the roof of barn during flood, and the
other to cheese box on a shingIe-very
poor material to make picture of; but
the event was so great lieutenant John
Taylor Wood, in The Century Magazine of
March, 1885. says sit revolutionized the
navies of the worldly that l always grew
more and more determined to create a
picture of it.

got the form Of the Monitor and how
