THE LAST SPEECH OF EDWARD KYKRETI.
BIS VOICE RAISED IB AB AFFEAU FOB OBSEBOSITY
ABD JUSTICE TO THE SOUTH—HE IHCULOATBS
LOVE OF BBIGHBOK—CHARITY TO THE SUFFER-
ING, WHOBVBB THEY MAY SB.
Tho following speeoh was delivered by Hon. Ed
ward Everett, in Fanenil Hall, Boaton, on tbs even*
Ing of tbe 9th Instant, at a meeting (tailed to obtain
relief for the suffering people of Savannah; It la
hla last speech, as it was delivered soaroel; five
days before hla death. It breathes, from the first
line to the last, that true Christian spirit of charity
and love of neighbor which has characterized him
through his long and valuable life: 1
Mb. Mayob : After the statements to which wo
have just listened from Col. Allen, the eye-witness
of the scenes he has described, I do not feel as if
anything ! could say were wanting to induce the
citizens of Boston to respond promptly to his ap
peal. The condition of Savannah certainly makes
an Imperative call upon our best feelings it con
tains 20,000 men, women, and Children, suffering to
a greater or loss degree for clothing, fhel, and food.
Their oare-worn looks, their haggard faces, their
emaciated frames, as described by Col. Allen', bear
witness that they have long been In this condition,
aen. Sherman having escaped Into the etty, and
Gen, Hardee having esoaped out of it, the authori
ty of the United States has. been restored in this
principal seaport or Georgia, and oheerrully ac
cepted, nay, joyously welcomed by the main body of
the Inhabitants. _ .
There can, I think, be no donbt ot the last fact.
At the great public meeting convened by the Mayor
—a meeting of all elasscß of the citizens, held in
Masonio Hall, the largest in the city—after the
address of the Mayor, which has been generally
copied Into our papers, the resolutions, which have
also been extensively inserted in our journals, were •
passed by acclamation, the allusion to the flag of
the United States and the home of the President
being received with hearty cheers. Now, this I
consider one of the . most remarkable and encou
raging events of the war. It proves what X'have
always asserted, because I have always known that
there was a widespread Union' sentiment at the
South. There Is not one of the Southern States,
with the possible exception of South Carolina—and
I doubt even that—in whioh, if the question had
been thrown-to a popular vote, after a full and
free discussion for ayear and three quarters, as was
the case with too Constitution framed in 1787, the
first blow of the rebellion could have been struck.
But long before the outbreak a system of political
proscription and intimidation, enforoed when ne
cessary by aots’ef violence, had established a com
.plete reign of terror, so that when thfftime came '
the masses, were “precipitated ” by a few ambitious
and disappointed political and military leaders into
tbe rebellion. Gladly would they have thrown off
the yoke, but the means that placed it have {tooted
It on their necks. All history teaohes how small an
Organized military power suffices to hold an unarm
ed population in subjection. With all their able
bodied men, or whatever opinion, forced,lnto the
army, and the pains and penalties of treason visited
upon every one who manifests in word or deed a wish
for the restoration of the Union, it Is sot to be won
dered at that an open expression of that sentiment
has not taken place. Considering the vicissitudes
of war and the possibility, as it may seem to them,
that the Confederate yoke may again be placed
upon their oity, thong h we well know that that event
will take place when Savannah river runs up hill,
I rather wonder that her citizens have ventured oven
now to take the step they have. It is evidently a
fair expression of the sentiment of the alty. The
meeting was oalled by the mayor, at the request of
leading citizens. None of Gen. Sherman’s army,
offlaefß or men,- wore present. Sentinels were
placed at the door to keep the soldiers out, and
none, In fact, were admitted. There have been other
manifestations equally expressive of good will be
tween the people of Savannah and General Sher
man’S army. The best understanding exists be
tween 1 ' the military and loeal authorities. Pri-.
vate property is respecters the officers of the
army are gladly received.as private boarders-in
the houses of the citizens, and there is not proba
bly in the United States at this moment a better
governed and more quiet and orderly oity than
avannah. These proolons boons have been brought
back to its citizens with the flag of the Union. But
something else must go with it. There is no store
of food there. Their warehouses, their dwelling
houses, are empty of provisions and ol other neoes
sarle&of life, and there are 20,000'men, women, and
ehildren, who, in the interval which must necessari
ly elapse before trade can return to Its accustomed
channels, must be clothed, and warmed, and fed, It
Is our duty, as 1 know It will be our pleasure, to do
cur part In this benevolent work. They offer, It is
true, to send the rice whioh General Sherman has
given them and sell it at the enhanoed price which
it bears in our market, in payment of the supplies
of whioh they stand in soraneett. But, New York
and Boston don’t want their rice. Savannah wants
our pork, beef, and flour, and' I say in the name of
Heaven let us send It to them without mosey and
without price. By and-by we will trade with them
as we did In the good old times before the curse of
secession and rebellion eame upon the land. By
and b; we will take tbe rice and the cotton, and give
them onr food and onr fabrics In return.
Now, sir, I had rather not be paid for the relief we
send them* Our storehouses and granaries are full
—our farmers never had a better year, .Some
branches of trade and manufactures are depressed,
but others are more than usually active and profita
ble. The great West, big as she is, is hardly big
enough to hold the wealth that is annually reaped
from nor fertile fields, and, as if the accustomed pro
ducts of the soil wore deemed insufficient by a boun
tltul Providence, the very clods of the earth through
out the Middle States “ are pouring ont rivers of
oil," till King Petroleum bids fair to sway the mar
kets or the world as King Ootton did before his
fibrous majesty was dethroned. In this state of
things, sir, I don’t want onr gTeat commercial cities,
warm-hearted Boston and imperial New York, to go
to chaffering with poor, war-stricken, starving Sa
vannah for the food she needs for her famished citi
zens. No, sir; I should as soon have expected the
fond father in the parable, that loveliest page in
the Baored volume, to drive a bargain with his
returning son for a meal’s 'Vietnam out of the
fatted call. Let us ofler it to them freely, not iu
the spirit of aims-glving, but as a pledge of frater
nal feeling, and an earnest of our disposition to re
sume all the kind offices of fellow-eltlzenshlp with
our returning brethren. Do you say that they were
lately our enemies 1 I am well convinced that the
majority, the great majority, wore so but nominally.
But what if they were onr enemies 1 “If thine
enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink,’’ especially when he has laid down hla arms
and submits to your power. And I hope we may
never have to retaliate In any other way the cruel
ties of starvation praotloed upon onr poor prisoners.
Nothing so plainly shows the ruthless spfclt of the
leaders of the rebellion as the manner in which
our prisoners of war have boen treated at some of
the depots. The accounts of these cruelties which
have readied us have, of course, been eontra
dioted, but I know them to be true. I know it
Horn some of the living -victims of theße cruel
ties. A young officer exchanged from Libby—a
person as well entitled to credit as any one, high
or low in office, priest or layman, by whom his
account has been or can be contradicted—assured
me that the statement so frequently made of the
cruel manner In which our prisoners were treated
in that prison are unexaggeratei. An officer, re
cently esoaped from Columbia, informed a friend of
mine, who repeated it to me last Saturday, that the
allowance even to officers was a very small quantity
of uncooked oob meal dally, with a spoonful of
sorghnm syrup; The condition in which the re
turned prisoners came back to us—their wasted
frames, their sunken eyes, their nerveless limbs—
shows that it la the settled policy of the rebel leaders
to send them home broken down, body and mind,
and unfit for service. In other words, to keep them
out of the grave just long enough to be exchanged
for a rebel prisoner, who will return better fed and
clothed than he was at home, hale and hearty, and
ready to take the field. That such Is the case with
the Southern .prisoners of war at our depots,J had
some opportunities to know personally. The prison
ers at Fort Warren are as well honsed and fed, as far
as substantiate are concerned, as nine-tenths of the
people of Massachusetts—tbat Is, they have com
fortable shelter, space for exercise, adequate cloth
ing, and food, animal and vegetable, In abundance.
I visited damp Douglas, near Chicago, at a time
when 8,000 Confederate prisoners were confined
there. They had twenty aores of ground for exer
olse and games In which they chose to indulge.
They had comfortable barracks. I saw Western
hams by the cart-load unloading into their store
zooms, and I passed through their quarters just
at the dinner-hour. The tables certainly were
sot spread with damask table-cloths, nor set out
with porcelain or ent glass, nor did I taste the
-food; but, judging from looks and smell, It, was
as wholesome and savory as I ever wish to see
on my. own table, and in quantity and quality It
was equal to that of the Union regiments that
guarded the depot. A similar, state of things, I
was informed by an intimate friend of mine, an
officer Ugh in the publlo servloe, exists at John
son’s Island, In Lake £rle. I have also heard from
trustworthy sources similar aceounta of the treat
ment ortho prisoners at Fort Delaware. Mr, Davis
made It a complaint in one of his messages that
Southern prisoners were confined at a place so
far north as Fort Johnson. Ha did not appear
to remember that Millen and Andersonviue, In
summer, might be as trying to a Northern con
stitution as Fort Johnson to a Southern consti
tution in winter; and it is a current faet, officially
ascertained, that the proportion of persons frozen
to death is greater at the South than the North,
in oonsequenoe of our more effectual precau
tions to resist the cold. I mention these-~facts
the rather now that, as an offset to the' oruelty
'practiced on onr prisoners at the South, an attempt
is making to persuade the sympathizing classes in
Europe that Southern prisoners are made to suffer
at the North. Now, sir,-I believe that the best way
in whioh we can retaliate upon the South for the
cruel treatment of our prisoners is for us to continue
to treat their prisoners with entire humanity and
all reasonable kindness, and not only so, but to
seize every opportunity like the present to go beyond
this. Indeed, it is no more than our duty to treat
the prisoner well. The law of nations requlres lt.
Tho Government that refuses or negteots it does
not deserve the name of civilized. Even Inability
is no justification. If you are yourself so exhausted
that yon cannot supply your prisoner with a suffi
cient quantity of wholesome food, yon are bound,
with or without exchange, to set him free. Yon
have no more right to starve him than to poison
him. It will, however, be borne in mind that while
the hard fare of onr prisoners is defended by tho
Southern leaders on the ground that it is as good
as that of their own soldiers, at the same time they
maintain that their harvests are abundant, ana
their armies well red. There is no merit-in treating
a prisoner with eommon humanity: it is simply In
famous and wicked to treat him otherwise. While
we take no oredlt to ourselves that we do not starve
onr prisoners, let ns show that we are glad of a
ohance to minister to the wants of our fellow-citi
zens of the South when we are under no moral obli
gation to do so.
Under no morahobllgatlon, did I say, sir? I am
not so sure of that. Forty years ago we thought it
our duty to relieve the starving Greeks. We sent
ship loadß of provisions to them In charge of a worthy
citizen (Dr. Howe} to make the distribution, and
the memory of that kindly deed still dwells on
the “ Isles tost orown the JEgean deep,” When
the toy hand of famine smote the toiling millions of
Ireland in 1847, the cry of their distress reaohed this
hall, and returned with a generous response. The
want of employment, caused by the cessation of the
supply of ootton, deprived the operatives of Lanca
shire of their dally bread; onr friends in New York
sent the George Griswold, laden with provisions, to
their Buoeor. The pirate Hemmes showed what he
was made of by burning the vessel on her return,
not a twelvemonth has elapsed slnoe the heart of
■our community was stirred to its depths by the
pathetic eloquence of Colonel Taylor, setting forth
the distress of onr brethren in East Tennessee. The
relief extended by you in all these oases was not a
mere gush of sentimental benevolence; it was, you
so oonsldered It, the performance of a Christian
fluty, an act of obedience to the great law of love,
whioh, paramount to the Constitution and law fit
the land, lays Its saored obligation on every rational
creature, and makes us all brethren, mutually de
pendent on each other, lntheonegreathuman family,
And shall we shutout from this great family our
brethren of Savannah, who, by the valor ana con
duct of our armies, and the heroic skill of their no
ble leader, are again gathered, nothing loth, beneath
the folds of the sacred flag 1 Gen. Sherman, aB kind
as he is brave, who desires only to preserve by the gen
tle sway of gratitude and love what his uneonqusred
sword has won, has himself said that “the timely
relief of the suffering citizens of Savannah will be
worth more to the union cause than ton battles.”
For heaven’s sake, my friends, Ist ns hasten to win
these bloodless victories, saddened by no parent’s
bereavement, no widow’s tears. While we subdue
the armies whioh a merciless conscription of old
and young drives to the field, and maintain a cor
don of Iron and fire around the shores of persistent
rebellion, from the moment a desire is manifested
on the part of the masses to acknowledge the au
thority of the Government, let ns hasten to extend
•to them the right hand of Christian love, to supply
their wants, to relieve their sufferings, and to
mark their return to the Union by tbe return of a
prosperity to whioh, by the selfish and Cruel ambi
tion of their leaders, they have so long been stran
*ers.
ANOTHER Amtbdiluvian Frog,—The Erie 0i«-
•patch says that probably the oldest inhabitant In
jPeousylvanla was discovered in a stone in that town
last Thursday. It is a living frog, about an inch
long, which was taken from a piece of bituminous
coal that one of the employees of the store had
broken for the purpose of borolng. His escape from
a torturing death was almost providential, and It is
a cause of satisfaction that he escaped a fate so ig*
Dominions after having lived so long and quietly,
His advent to the outer world was witnessed by four
or fire gentlemen connected with the establishment,
and he was immediately deposited In a cigar box,

THE COURTS.

Thompson.
John P, Steiner and William P. Hacker, taxpay
ers, &.0., vs. The City of Philadelphia, Thomas
L. Stewart, and William B. Hays. Tils oase Is
an application to restrain the respondents from
consummating a contract by whioh one of toe re
spondents (Hays) Is to fnrnlsh toe Gas Works with
80,000 tons of coal at toe price of eleven dollars per
ton. It Is set forth In toe bill of complaint that toe
contract was awarded by the trustees of the Gas
Works without their first having advertised for or
received proposals, as required by toe act of Assem
bly of May 13th, 1888, which requires that supplies
of any kind, for toe nse or toe city, in any department
thereof, shall be purchased or contracted for only In.
such manner as shall be prescribed by ordinance.
Among toe affidavits read by W. 8. Price, Esq,
in support of toe averments of toe bill, was that of
Lewis Cooper, Esq., In which -he states “that Mr.
Edward H. Trotter, one of toe trustees of toe Phila
delphia Gas Works, told thls'afflrmant that Antho- -
ny Mlskey, the president of toe said trustees, hod
told him, toe said Trotter, when said Trotter was
remonstrating with said Mlskey against awarding
the contract for coal to Wm. B. Hays that he, toe
said Mlskey, wonld have to vote In favor of such
contract because Mr. Ohas. L. Wolf, another of the
said trustees, had asked him to do so as a personal
favor, as he, toe said Wolf, was to roceive a com
mission upon the contract with Wm. B. Hays if It
was awarded to Mm.”
Before the argument closed, an affidavit by Mr.
Ohas. L. Wolf was filed, in whioh he denied in toto
all toe averments made in that of Mr. Cooper.
The answer of Thos. L. Stewart submits toe tests
of toe Hays coal as compared with toe Westmore
land and McLaughlin coal, and shows the superi
ority of the Hays coal. It also contains toe amda
"vits of C. Zabriskie, Jr., of tbe Richmond County
Gas-light Company; P. O. Hem, treasurer of toe
Clarksburg Coal and Iron Company, Baltimore;
Mr. Wakeman, president of toe Harlem Gas-light
Company, and Henry Bndd, president of the North
ern Liberties Gas Works, all of thorn coinciding in
toe opinion that the price named in the'Hays con
tract Is reasonable. On behalf of Mr. Hays a sepa
rate answer was filed, In which he states that his
sole desire is to comply with the terms of toe con
tract, and that it was made in good faith.
Mr. Price, for complainants, contended that toe
Gas Works was a department, and cited in
Sort of his argument the act of Consolidation, a
on of which so designates them, and also the
ordinance .of July 31st, 1884, providing for commit
tees, including one on Gas Works. He argned toe
motion at some length, contending that whether toe
proposed Hays contract wag good or bad, toe trustees
of toe Gas Works had no.autoority to makothe con
tract without having first Invited proposals.
The case for toe respondents was argued by Messrs.
W. A. Porter and Charles who took
toe ground that toe Gaß Works was not a depart
men! within toe meanlngjof toeaotof Assembly or
the act of Consolidation, and that, therefore, Conn
ells could not assume to exerolse such control over
it as Is sought In this proceeding.
The case was held under advisement.

address to the jury, after which Judge Allison de
livered the charge, laying down the law In the case,
and reviewing the evidence at Borne length.
The case was given to the jury at halt past eleven

The ball df Mr. James was increased to $2,000,
and he was released for the present, his counsel In
forming the court that reasons would be filed for v
new trial.
In tbe course of his address, Mr. Dougherty paid
the following just and beautiful tribute to David
Paul Brown, Esq.: .
_ For a half century, lacking but two years, the
learned and distinguished gentleman who repre
sents the defenee has made these old walls resound
with the strains of hla marvellous and matchless
eloquence. Orowds have here hung enraptured by
the words, and juries yielded themselves captives
to the will, of thlß the monarch of the forum. Age
has not dimmed the lustre of his eye, ffla formls
as erect, and his voice as clear, as when he charmed
a generation that has passed away. If his forensic
efforts do not dazzle as of yore, they are yet like the
rays of the'evening sun—more gorgeous and beauti
ful than when he was in the full glory of his me
ridian. ' I know I speak for all my brothers when
from my heart 1 say, long may he live and move In
our midst, an ornament and an honor to the Phila
delphia bar.

Edward Dougherty, Edward Hurly, and Ocnrad
Elsenhart, who pleaded guilty to the larceny of
some feathers, were called up, as also their parents.
Judge Allison said the hoyß were young, and he
would be sorry to send them to prison as felons. His
Honor Inquired of the parents what disposition
they would make of them, if permitted to do so.
It was represented by two of the parties that they
would send tbe boys to sea, and the other that the
boy would be sent In the country, one hundred
miles from here. The boys were allowed to go with
the parents, who were instructed to report next Sa
turday what they eould do with them.

some time since of an attempt to commit burglary,
and on a new trial being granted pleaddd guilty to
the charge, was sentenced to nub months in the
connty prison, -
In passing sentence, the Judge expressed the
opinion that the charaoter of defendant had been
good up to within a few months, when he gave way
to temptation.
None of th&desertion oases were heard, but put
off until next Saturday'. Adjourned.
THE POLICES.
[Before Hr. Alderman Settler.]
SELF-CONFESSED HOTEL THIEF.
Thomas Whittaker was arraigned on Saturday
afternoon on the charge of robbing several boarders
at the hotel of Mr, Meyers Mlehael, Cherry street,
above THrd. The defendant took boarding.there
about a week, since, and from that time until Fri
day a number of coats, pants, vests, Ac., were
missed. On Friday evening the trunk of Hugh.
Caldwell, one of the boarders, was discovered to
have been broken open, add several articles of wear
ing apparel were taken. A fob-ehaln and breast
pin, or the Geneva jewelry order—praotieal evl
denceof “all thatglltters Is not gold”—were taken.
The chain was valued at thlrtv cents and the breast
pin at seventy cents. These, of coarse, were un
saleable, and most likely to be kept about the per
son of the thief. The robbery was reported at the
Central Station, and Mr. Bartholomew, of the de
tective foroo, met the boarder on Fourth Btreet, near
Eaoe, on Saturday, and took Mm Into custody on
suspicion. The pin and chain were found upon him.
The defendant, after the evidence was elicited, the
flittering ornaments of Geneva lying on the desk
efore him, said:
“ Sir, I was drunk when I took these things.” •
“ Were you drunk when you took the coats, pants,
and vcßts ol these men V’ asked the magistrate.
“If you 1 1l let me off I’ll restore them;aU,”|replied
the prisoner. -

A MAN IS BOBBED OF A MEDAL.
Three females giving their names as Catharine
Biding, Anna Late, and Eliza White were ar
raigned on the charge of stealing a plain gold
medal from a German named Abraham Freund.
It seems from the evidence of the prosecutor that,
in Junei last, he purchased the gold medal, in
Berlin for rite sum of $3O In silver. He desired to
come to America, and he had thus Invested Mb
money to carry the most valne In the smallest space,
On Friday afternoon he made Ms appearance on
St. John street, desiring to sell the medal. He was
directed to go % to a lager beer saloon, No. 405, on
that thoroughfare, where he might find a pur
chaser. TJpon entering the place, he observed ten
or more females and several soldiers. He offered
the medal for seo. Eliza White, one of the defend
ants, examined it and said It was too much, and Mid
It on the table. Presently it disappeared . The owner
could not -understand a word of English, and In a
few minutes he was tbrust Into the street, receiv
ing a blow on the eye that coloredithat organ In the
habiliment of mourning. It was In evidence that
Anna Lute was present, but tbe eomplalnant did
not see Mrs. Ridings. She was questioned at some
length by the magistrate:
“ Are you married 1” said he.
“I am. sir," she replied.
“ To whoml”
“ John Ridings, sir."
“How long have you been married!”
« Two years, sir.”
" By whom were you married 1”
“ Alderman Shoemaker, sir.”
“ What does your husband do for a living!”
“ Re Is a drover, sir.”
“ A drover of what 1”
“ Cattle, sir,”
At this stage of the proceedings the police offioer
Who made the arrest Interposed, and said:
“ What kind of cattle V 1
The female, who up to this moment had pleasantly
and promptly responded to &l the questions pro
pounded by the magistrate, looked as black as an
August thunder cloud at the intermeddling offiolal,
and said, sneerisgly and sarcastically,Ho him:
“Bulls and cows.”
This pert reply induced a round of laughter,
Mrs. Hidings was discharged, and the other two
prisoners were committed in default of $l,OOO bail
each to answer the charge of the larceny Of the
medal.
