Thrower and O. D,
Tho interest in this Court yesterday
was unabated, and the new fledged “suf
fragists” were out in full tone, to see
whether the law would allow them to
marry lulhbitim, and gravely speculated
upon the result. It was over an hour bo-
fore the wheels of jnstioo got iuto motion,
when
BEV. OBION GEORGE,
tho negro who married William Iiuhbcs,
while, to Martha Johnson, black as oliar-
eool, was called up. His counsel, Albert
Thrasher and T. K. Oglesby, soemed to
dwell considerably on George’s ignoranoe
of the law, alledgiug that ho was legally
compelled to be ignorant of everything
until within the last six years, seeming to
forgot that if he had equal rights under
existing laws, that he is also under eqwd
responsibility tor his acts, and that if there
is injustice in it, it attached to the United
States, and not to tbo State of Georgia.
Mr. Thrasher’s argumont was baaed al
most entirely upon the Civil Rights Bill.
The defence also made a point that
Hobbes gave George a regular license to
perform the marriage, bat forgot (we sup
pose) to state that the license only au
thorized George to perform the marriage
there true no legal impediments, and that
Hobbes and Martha Johnson were too
dissimilar in color to escape tho detection
of even the bamboozlod George. Mr.
Oglesby's speech sounded like the open
ing of tho campaign of 1872. It mado
os feel like depositing our ballot instant-
er—on paper. District Attorney, Irwin,
ably sustained the State, and the jury ro-
turnod a verdict of guilty. As soou as
tbo verdict was rendered,
WILLIS HARRIS AND MARY SILVEY,
tho Tennessee tuiscegenatioiiiste, ivero
called up to hear their verdict, previous
to the reading of which tho oounsel oskod
leave to say something in mitigation,
which was granted.
The Counsel—Theso parties were mar-
riod in good faith, in Tennessoe. Com
ing here they were not aware of the con-
soqncncos. They are now willing to leave
tho Stato it tho clemency of the Court is
oxtonded to them. Oncol tho jurymen,
Mr. King, has just informed mo that he
wishes to say something in mitigation.
The Court -Mr. Kiug hns leave to pro-
coed.
Mr. King—Before saying anything, I
would like to ask that girl a question.
The Court—You may ask it,
Mr. King (addressing himself to tho
womanj- Aro you tho daughter of Wash
ington Silvoy, of Cainplioll county ?
Mary Silvey—I am.
Mr. Kiug—Your Honor, I knew that
wumau’s father well. He was on honora
ble man, os was also her grand father.—
Her mother died while this woman was a
child, and her father died shortly after.
She has never had any good influences
around her, has bccu thrown into dis
reputable company, and I wish to Qod
your Honor could so arrange tho case as
to take that poor unfortunate from the
sido of that nigger.
Mary Silvey—I was poor, with nothing
to oat aud no clothes. This man took
mo and gavo me clothes and kept me
from starvation.
Mr. King—I am sorry fur tho poor
creature, but sincerely hope your Honor
will divide them. She has no sense, and
is a miserable specimon. I ask this for
tho soko of tho4b who would bo ber
friends,
The Court—Tho request will ho taken
into consideration.
Mr. King appeared to be deeply af
fected to see tho daughter of an old friond
aud honorable man thus chained to de
gradation. His Honor then proceeded
to read his
DECISION IN Ttlg TENNESSEE MA1UUAUK CASE.
Ho spoke substantially as follows ;—
This is an accusation of fornication
against Willis Harris, (colored), charging
him with living in fornication with ono
Mary Harris, a white woman, and against
said Mary Harris for samo offence. Tho
dofenoo set up was Marriage. No evi-
the suniy of donee was introduced; bat it was admitted
between oomtsel that the parties were le
gally married in the State of Tennessoe,
as allowed by the law* of that State. At
tho enquiry of| tho Court it was stated that
tho Certificate of Marriage was in Court—
but the District Attorney not pressing
proof of its authenticity, it woa taken
to be a truo Certificate ot tho foot of Mar
riage; and the oasu was signed at length
and with ability by the Counsel on both
sides before the Court, August 8th. The
Court reserved its judgment until this
morning, 'August 9th. At first glanoe,
and before argument ot Oonuael, I was
inclined to the opinion that tho lex kxi
omfrariur would govern the ease, and so
intimated to Counsel, for the purpose of
having the argument directed to that
point I cannot award too much praise
to tho ability and zeal of the District At-
exhibited in the array of law and
precedent brought to boar on the ques
tion, and whioh served to dissipate from
the mind of the Court all doubt pruan
facie entertained.
Upon examination ol the law and au
thority cited by him, (vis: Code of Qoor-
gia—Sect 9, 1709-2696; a. a. 1868;
Georgia Reports—34, p.40; Georgia Re
ports—88, 75, 86; Georgia Reports—29,
321; Goorgia Reports 36, 388, 389; Story,
oontlict of laws, Beet 29;) I am fully eat-
isfled that the intermarriage ot the par
ties in the State of Tennessee, however
leo|l in that State, must be held to be
9 and void in thie State.
Tho setting asido the general principle
of the Ic.c loci contractus in this cue pro
ceeds on tho ground that aneh marriage
ta in ooutravcntioa of tho public policy
of our State—vide authorities above cited.
Public policy, adopted and upheld for the
support and improvement of the monk,
the peace, the good order and seenrity of
society in a State, is of limit ex-neceuUate
in view of the importanee of these ob
ject*, ot paramount authority, and
most override special principles of
law, however just in themselves,
and long respected and observed, when
these oontlict with such puldio policy.
Under the laws, for instance, of Utah,
or custom* having the force of laws with
thorn, a man may have any number of
wives. Now, though this may be per
fectly legal aud right there, in the state
of socioty these existing, can it be sop-
posed that any State where the Mono
gamie i elation between tho sexes is pre
served and upheld by law, would for an
instant suffer a polygamic citizen of Utah
to move into ita midst, and oorropt aocic
ty by his examplo 1 Sorely not. But it
it less offence against the public policy
of the State or tho good taste and feeling
of its citizens to suffer parties to cross
the border of a neighboring State, and
bring with them relations forbidden by
our laws or grounds of public policy ?
No—assuredly no.
In rating then that the marriage of the
parties in Tennessee is null and void, and
that the lex fori must bo given the case,
it follows that the parties are guilty of
the accusation.
The case of Ada Thompson, for va
grancy, was taken up, and s verdiot of
guilty was rendered.
His Honor then announced himself
prepared for
THE READING OF 111 a SENTENCES.

At lust wo broathe easier. Tho flat has
gono forth that in Georgia crimo shall
not go unwhipt uf justice, nor shall mor
al rottenness rock in our midst. Oar
State will not be a doggery for the de
praved, tho corrupt, and the vioiona of
other States. In our midst miscegena
tion, even when sanctioned by the unho
ly statu tes of other States, shall be orusbed
out, trnmplod under foot, and the guilty
parties shall meet with suro, certain, con
dign punishment.
Tho cases whioh have been before tho
District Court for two days post have ex
cited, not interest alone, but deep con
cern in the minds of our citisens. Was
this hydra-headod monster of corruption
to be declared logal ? Was oar sense of
morality to be insulted 7 Was the mar
riage rotation to bo disgraced and ren
dered infamous ? Were we to be oom
pollod to seo festering corruption walk
ing about on the streets, jostling against
us in tho crowd, staring at us in the pub
lio ptaoos ? Theso were the queetious
which arose aud perplexed our citizens,
aud tbo threatened appeal to United
States authority to override our laws,
our customs, our sense of moral decency,
added a strong feeling to them.
But Judge Lawrenco and an impartial
jury have spoken. Such things shall not
exist. Let those who would dtagraoe hu
manity go to Tennessoe, go to Massachu
setts, go whorevor corrupt and infamous
lawmakers will protect them ; but there
is no place for them in Georgia. Tho
ball is in motion, tho law will be en

Our citizens were pained yesterday to
hear of tho death of oar esteemed fellow
citizeu, Dr. D. C. O’Keefe, which oc
curred at Gaiusvillc, Hall county, Geor
gia, on Tuesday last The intelligence,
though not wholly unexpected, cast a
gloom over the whole community, by
which he was so highly esteemed and
honored.
Tho late D. C. O'Keefe was a native of
the Emerald Isle, the prolific mother of
generous hearts, und possessed all the
great-hearted hospitality and noble feel
ings of companionship for which his
oouutry people are noted. He possessed,
to a rich depee all the qualities and gen
erous traits which endear men to their
associates and make their society sought
In 1845, we believe, he arrived in Au
gusta Ga., where Dr. Henry F. Camp
bell, who ta yet living, recognizing hie
aptitude and habits of scientific study,
took him into his office, where he en
gaged in the study of medicine. He was
unusually successful in his study, and
was the pride of his kind benefactor.
After receiving his diploma, he practiced
in several of the smaller towns of this
State with signal ability, and cucrywliere
receiving tokens of high appreciation
and regard. In 1857 he removed to this
city, whore his grent medical abilities
were at once recognized, and he took a
front rank in his profession, and he soon
built up on extensive practice.
The opening of the late civil conflict
between the States found Dr. O'Keefe,
like the rest of his gallant countrymen,
truo to tho State of his adoption, to the
people among whom he had met such a
kindly reception, and who hod given him
on honorable place in their midst. Ho
was assigned to duty in various positions
in vvliich his medical acumen rendered
him uscfull and efficient. All through
that long and bloody conflict ho was ever
faithful, and his services were frequently
recognized by promotion. He stood very
high in the estimation of his superiors,
and was regarded as one of the most
skillful surgeons in the Confederate ser
vice.
At the close ot the war he returned to
this city and found his entire business,
as was tho case with most others, entirely
changed. But he liod no time for regret,
and sot to work energetically to rebuild
his practice. In 1866 he was elected to
the Faculty of tho Atlanta Medical Col
lege, in which ho filled two very import
ant clinira. Many times since he has been
complimented in other ways, by his pro
fessional brethren.
Dr. O’Keefe was a member of the City
Council of Atlanta from the First Ward
in 1870, and was one of the most efficient
of tho Board. Ho favored many import
ant improvements, and was active in sus
taining the interests of the city. At our
last eleotiou his name was prominently
mentioned in connection with tho Mayor
alty; but he refused to oppose the regu
larly nominated Democratic ticket.
Ho was an ardent champion of educa
tion, and one of his most cherished de
sires was to see good and capable schaslsf
within the reach of all, established in
every quarter of tho city, When the
election of Bckool Commissioners was
ordorod, Dr. O'Kocfc's tabors in that be
half wore reworded by his eloction as ono
of the School Board. He was enthusias
tic on the subject. He was also ’Chair
man of the City Board of Health, and
was efficient in that position.
In the death of Dr. O’Keefe Atlanta
has lost ono of her most cherished and
gifted sons, one whose charity was un
bounded as his heart was generous, whose
simplicity of character endeared him to
all; who, in every relation of life,—in
his family, in his profession, in the pub
lic service—was faithful and vigilant and
juat; whose character was unimpeachable,
oinl over whose new-made grave we may
truthfully say, “ Ho was ono of earth’s
noblemen.”

*«| Hlllyer a ad tkt Georgia Writers.
The dost has been settled for the peat
tew days.
We publish a somewhat lengthy com
munication from Maj. George Hillyer,
drawn from him by what has been said
in the papers oonoerning his notice to the
City* Counoil last Friday night—the pur
port of whioh was that the Georgia Road
did not oonsider itself bound to pay or
make good its subscription to the Geor
gia Western.
One of our citizens in Tna Sun of yea-
‘srday morning propounded a number of
inqnirios to Maj. Hillyer—one of the
most important of which ho has answered
this morning, viz: That he gave the no-
tioo he did at tho request and npon the
authority of Judge King. He, however,
does not reply in detail or generally, to
the numerous questions propounded. On
this point he stated to us verbally, and
gave us permission to repeat it here, that
he prefers not to discuss these matters
through tho press at this time—thinking
it will do no good, and might do harm.
The Major declares himself most ear
nestly in favor of building the Georgia
Western without delay, and that nothing
which ho can possibly do shall be want
ing to secure this paramount object; and
farther declares his earnest desire for the
Georgia Road to renew its subaeription,
and that his efforts shall be earnestly put
forth to seoure that renewal.
In his article of this morning ha i
gents that a rousing publio meeting be
held here for the purpose of obtaining
farther subscriptions to the stock of the
road—stating that Judge King will attend
such a masting. Let the meeting beheld I
Let the Directors of the road or the eiti-
sens call it without delay, and let the
Judge be invited, and 1st an earnest ef
fort bo made to harmonize without rash
stops or words or recriminations.
We further suggest that Maj. Campbell
Wallace and all the Directors and promi
sent friends ot the Georgia Western be
pasarnt and have h tan, free end frank
soofcrenoe with Judge King. We under

Editors l)aily Sun: I wrote you u liabty
note on Monday evening, when on tbe
evo of lcaviug for Augusta. There are
several typographical errors in it as pub-
lulled, which I wish to correct. The
types make mo say that I desired to have
the Georgia ltailrood subscription to the
Georgia Western “removed." What I
wrote was that I wanted the subaeription
“renewed.” Again, the types make me
say something about “Mr. Board,” a
piece of slang that I could never be guilty
of. It should read “our Board.
I was very much embarrassed while at
Augusta by the ill advised touo of
articles which have appeared in tho At
lanta papers. If you waut a man to put
his money into an enterprise with you,
is it tho true policy to begin by abusing
him in the public prints? Is it more like
ly that Judge King aud his Board of Di
rectors will be won over to join Atlanta
in this great enterprise by such ill-judged
and unjust assaults, than by negotiations
carried on in the usual manner, and in
tho respectful language of ordinary busi
ness? Tho Georgia Railroad never pa
raded this matter in tho newspapers.—
That was done by those who profess to
be the special champions of the Georgia
Western.
In the discharge of an oilicial duty, I
gavo the City Council the notice in ques
tion on tho authority of a letter from
Judgo King. I know all about how ho
came to write it, and that hostilty to tho
Georgia Western had nothing to do with
it. It was proper to givo it to them, be
cause tho only negotiations which had ta
ken place since tho war on tho subject was
between the city and tho Georgia Road,
when the latter proposed to tho former
that tho Georgia Road would renew its
subscription to tho Georgia Western, if
tho city would renew theirs. Tho city
at first agreed to do so, as appears by res
olutions published in tho papers, but af
terwards changed its policy, and pat its
$300,000.00 in tho Air-Line; and tho
building of tlio Georgia Western ceased
to bo agitated.
Tho Goorgia Road then paid out near
a quarter of a million of dollars in cash,
and indorsed bonds for near $2,000,000.00
more, in filling out and consolidating, or
its Western connection, tho lino byj way
of West Point, Montgomery aud Merid
ian, to Vicksburg, on tho Mississippi
River.
Under theso circumstances Judge King
does not hold himself bound by his for
mer proposition made to tho Council.
Whether ho is bound or not, is another
matter, and is a question which I do not
desire to discuss. Suffice it to say that if
any body interested seriously differs with
him in the matter, and will approach
Judge King in tho manner usual in such
business, I should think ho would take
the opinion of Mr. Hull, the lawyer of
the Road, on whatever views might be
presented, and if tho liability exists both
Judge King and his Board of Directors
will stand square up to it. But to return
to the notice.
Tho rules of tho City Council require
all communications to bo in writing.
There is no other way of approaching
them. I gave it in writing. Tho clerk
read it, and tho Council acted on it, und
there so far as I was concerned tho mat
ter ended. Tho Atlanta papers published
it, and a great outcry is raised, in which
many things aro said, well calculated to
irritate the authorities of the Georgia
Railroad and greatly to embarrass the ef
forts of those who are trying to iaduco
its Board to waive all technical or other
objections, and make a binding subscrip
tion now, whether bound before or not.
But I have neither time nor inclination
for a newspaper controversy. My posi
tion in the matter is a very thankless ono.
On tho ono hand I am charged with try
ing to carry through plans by which mon
ey of the Georgia Road is to bo used to
benefit Atlanta; and on the other, some
persons say I am rot doing enough for
Atlanta. The position is a difficult one.
I have dono, and shall continue to do,
what appears to me to be sensible aud
prudent, and at tho same limo what is
right and just.
Now, I propose this: I am told the
private subscriptions to tho Georgia
Western are, os yet, small in comparison
with what is wanted. Lot thero be a citi
zen’s meeting called for the purpose of
raising stock for tho Road. Jndgo Kiug
stated to me when in Augusta yesterday,
that ho would attend such a meeting it
desired. Every body can there learn hia
views and policy, and a general inter
change of ideas be had. 1 believe ho
would advise our Board to renew its sub
scription if the Georgia Western will re
turn to tho original survey and run ita
line to Decatur, Alabama, instead of Ely
ton, as now proposed. But be tlmt as it
may, something may, let us hope, bo de
vised at such a mooting which will har-
monizo everything, and mnch good l>o
accomplished.
By referring to tho notice I gave tho
City Council, yon will see that it merely
negatives the liability ot tho Company
for any post subscription, but does not at
all negative tho idea that the Georgia
Road may yet be induced to go into the
enterprise by a now subscription. It iB
not Improper for mo to add that if I had
foreseen that the giving of the notice in
the manuor it was given, would bo ro-
gardod as injurious to the Georgia West
ern, I would have asked tho Council to
receive it in secret session.

Tho Monroe Advertiser says : Ou Bun-
day last a noisy and disgraceful row oc
curred at the negro meeting house near
Tabernacle church. It originated be
lt some boys, in a quarrel over some
watermelons, and grew in magnitude un
til the whole of the Urge crowd prosent
become engaged. Services were suspend
ed, and knives, pistols and clubs drawn,
and for some time a general scrimmage
seemed to be inevitable ; but, fortunately,
nothing worse than shouting, threaten
ing! ana cursings resalted.
