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. Tho misccgenationists, el. al., were ranged in a row, and received their vari ous assignments with due composure. The State rs. Wm. Hobbes, white, living In fornication with Martha John son, oolored; fine of 81,000, or six months in limbo. The State rs. Martha Johnson, oolored, living in fornication with Wm. Hobbes, white ; 8200, or three months in limbo. Tbo State vs. Willis Harris, colored, living in fornication with Mary Silvey, white ; 8250, or six months in limbo. Tho State rs.

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.

Dcxmbo, F. 11 Now tat offioea be established, and Pw master* appointed ter tit si and let tho people at each plaoo up a large club of subscribers to Tub Daily Sun. 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.” OOMMXmOIAX* *«| 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.

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.

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.
