Rome at any day. Preparations are being
mode for his reception at a chateau at

chateau, has had an understanding with

Measures have been taken already, in
Rome, to prepare for the choioe of the
next Pope. It is proposed to choose one
who may be moderate in his ideas and
not unfriendly to Italy, and by this means
effeot a compromise with the Italian gov
ernment Cardinal Camilla di Gietro is
mentioned.

THE LATE GOULD DEFAL
CATION. . ‘
Who Bears the Blame and Who
Carries oft the Game 7
For gome time past a well known
Revenue official has boen engaged in
trying to unravel the transactions of
the late defaulting Collector, but fail
ing to interview him out of any of
the facts obtained, and desiring to
know both sides, wo undertook to find
out ourself, and the result of the in
vestigation is as follows:
In the summer of 1870, John II.
Gould and E. W. Kendall purchased
in Boston a large amount of furni
ture on credit, which they shipped to
this city and opened the house on,
Broughton street, under the firm and
style of W. Krzyzanowski A Co.—
The company was a merchant of this
city, Kendall being employed on a
salary. There was no money paid in
up to the time the house opened, ex
cept $2,000 paid for Gonld by anoth
er party, to defray the expenses inci
dental to opening the house, Ac.—
Afterwards Gonlifpaid $32,000, which
was credited to all parties as follows ;
to Kreyzanowski $6,000, and the bal
ance to Gonld und the party already
referred to as the Company.
A short time before Gould lcft-
Krzyzanowski, not having couie
down with tho stamps to cover the
amount placed to his credit, with
drew, leaving the whole under the
control of the remaining partners.
The concern was then sold out to
still another party here, whose notes
were given to the silent partner,
known as the “Co.,” for about $24,000,
which were subsequently turned over
to a merchant at tho Bay, who sold
out the stock at auction through
Messrs. Bell A Hull, and reoeived tno
proceeds, so says the last book-keeper
in the concern. This accounts for
$32,000 that Gould did not take away
with him.
The balance of the $59,000 defal
cation, viz; $27,000 it is said was also
not taken by Gould, but by others, us
it is expected can be proved. So that
after all, Major Gould went away mi
nus, except the moucy he borrowed a
day or two before ho departed, to nay
his traveling expenses with. It is
said that Mrs. Gould is now in Wash
ington, using her endeavors to obtain
promises that her husband will not
be prosecuted if he returns. It is
thought she will succeed, and that the
Major will return and make a clean
breast of the whole business. The
United States District Attorney has
received instructions to prosecute two
citizens of Savannah as accessories to
the defalcation.
Major Gould is now summering at
SL George’s, Bermuda, within about
four days sail of Savannah, where he
is enjoying the retirement of which
he is so much in need, beyond the
reach of his enemies and the influenct
of his friend*.
Further developments in this de
falcation business may be mado in the
examination of the testimony in the
case of Clark vs. Gould, which will be
up for trial in the Superior Court to
day. The suit is brought by Col. W.
L. Clark, now Internal Revenue Col
lector fbr this district, for money col
looted for taxes which ho remitted to
Gould, when ho (Clark) was his depu
ty at Thomasville, and which he now
finds were never credited to him on
the books of the office here.

Editor* Hun: The weather has

A called session of tho Superior
Court for Wilkes county was hold in
Washington this week—Judge An
drews presiding. At this session,
Willis Beckwith, of Warren county,
was tried for murder. The case had
been removod from Warren by order
of the Judge. The triul lasted two
days. The result was a verdict of
aoquittal by the jury.
The State was represented by So
licitor General Morton, and the priso
ner by Col E. H. Pottle, of Warren,
and Hon. Linton Stephens, of Sparta.
Tho verdict gave general satisfaction
to all who heard the testimony.—
Willis Beckwith is ono of tho parties
so long confinod in tho barracks in
your city, by military order, on the
charge for which he has just been
tried and acquitted.
In conversation with an old citizen
of this place to-day, I wns informed
that just thirty-seven years ago, 22
July, 1834, lion. Alexander II. Ste
phens was admitted to the practice of
law in this village, upon which I
might moralize, bnt forbear at pres
ent.
I am sure, however, that it will be
agreeablo to tho many readers of The
Sun, to know that his general health
was never better. Asido from that
unfortunate cripple, I doubt if his
health has been as good in many
years as at present.

1867,) wsswrtlwr.'whWritWBS ascertain
ed that Oxford had no counsel present.
Hit Honor, Judge Twiggs, assigned
Messrs. John N. Gilmore, Milo G. Hatch
and S. B. Jones to defend the prisoner.
The State wss represented by J. A Rob
son. Esq., Solioitor General pro tern.,
and Messrs. Langmodn A Evans, all of
the local bar.
Owing to the absenco of witnesses for
the defenoe, the ease was continued un
til Tuesday morning, when, at 9 a. m., it
was called again, and both parties an
nouncing themselves ready, the trial pro
ceeded. A jury was impanneled without
any trouble. Two colored and fonr white
witnesses were examined on the part of
tho prosecution, and two white witnesses
on the part of the defence. Able argu
ments were offered by counsel on both
sides, especially so on the part of the de
fense, who, without tbo nope of fee or
reward, labored assiduously to oounteraol
tho effeot of the damaging evidenoe of
fered by the prosecution. About mid
night tbo jury retired to their room, and
after an absenco of fifteen minntes, re
turned with a verdict of “Guilty fo mur
der.”
This morning at 9 o’clock Judge
Twiggs passed sentence upon Oxford, to
tho effect that he be hung in Sandera-
viile on Friday, September 1st, between
tho hours of 9 n. m. and 5 p. m.
James Oxford ia tho younger brother
of William Oxford, who was tried in this
conrt last week for the killing of a col
ored man in 1868, and who wus sen
tenced to the penitentiary for three years.
Both krotliera are young men. William
ia about twenty-flvo and James twenty-
two years of ago. Their mother, a
younger brother, und three married sin
ters live in this and tho adjoining county
of Jefferson. Their father, John Oxford,
who died three or four years ago, was s
blacksmith by trado, and moved to this
county from Baldwin about thirteen
years ago.
William served in tho Confederate
army during the war, and James in the
latter part of 1864, until the anrrondcr,
after which they worked on farms for
various people in this county, where they
were considered hard-working boys.—
Bnt evil counsel and drink, that bane of
aooiety, got the mastery over them, and
hence their downward career.
There are indictmente pending against
James in Hancock oonnty, for the mur
der of the superintendent of tho Sparta
Factorv, in 1869, and for the murder of a
colored man in Barke oonnty recently.
It win probably be recolleoted that
about a year ago James, while inoaroer-
ated in Jail at Sparta, on the night pre
vious to tho day aet for bia trial, was re
leased by an armed crowd, who had ef
fected forcible entrance into the jalL
Large rewards having been offered by
Gov. Bollock for tho apprehension and
conviction of both tho brothers, detec
tives from Augusta got upon their trail,
and captured William in Burke county,
where he was at work under the name of
Taylor, on a farm belonging to bis wife,
whom he had recently married, thongh
having a wife living in this county.
James was captured iu Jefferson county,
under the aamo name, while at work In a
steam saw mill. He has a wife and
ohild living there. Both had been oar-
ried to Angosta jail lore safe keeping,
from whenoe they were brought here for
trial.
During their short confinement in jail
here the building was, by order of the
Court, gnrrded every night by a speeial
gourd of twenty-four men. After their
conviction William was sent to the Au
gusta jail again, to be confined there un
til the guard from the penitentiary calls
for him. James wait this afternoon, sent to
the jail at Macon, there to be eonfined
until the day set for his execution.
It ia hoped, by all the good citizens of
Washington county, that with the trial
and oonvictiou of these parties,lawlessness
within her borders may here come to on
end.
Tpe Herald think tho oora, potato and
pea crop in Greene oountv, are assured,
and very fine. It says the former* had
began to be a little anxious for rain, but
the fall which occurred on Tuesday (last.
was copious, and gave the finishing tooeh
to oora. Cotton, it says, promises aboat
half a crop. The Utter disaster, howev
er, should make littlo difference, as the
lest crop of cotton will bring abont aa
maoh money Into the oonntry as a whole
one would. Cora should be the detim of
all—its abandonoe keeps stock fat and
man happy.
A fall of black rain ooeurred last month
near Worcester, England. It poured
down like ink for a quarter of an hoar,
covering sheop and other animals in the
fields with an adhesive substance as blank
