FULL PARTICULARS OF THE MURDERER BROTHERS AND THEIR CAPTURE. Yesterday afternoon, at half past three, We refer our readers to the sohool notice of Mr. B. H. Goetohius. This gentleman has been working quietly but earnestly with the pupils committed to his charge during the paat term, and the unanimous opinion of his patrons is, that their boys have made most wonder ful progress. We oen eafely recommend his sohool as one of thorough discipline, earnest work and moderate tuition. Parents committing their boys to the care of Mr. G. will find that they have not done amiss. A Kitting Affmtr Near Cuthbert. Our travelliug agent sends particulars of a fatal stabbing affair which ooourred teu miles below Outhbert, at the house of Mr. Cobb, on Wednesday night last. The parties engaged were Messrs. Mitehell Smith and John Hinson, both young men scarcely twenty years of age. They were at a party at the place above named, and got into a dispute about a hat. Hin son became enraged with Smith and stabbed him iu the left breast, inflicting a wound from which Smith died in two hours. Hinson is in jail. Dancing Academy Re-Opened, Class of young Ladies meat on to-mor row afternoon at 3 p. m. Children meet at 3 p. m. Tuesday. Gentlemen’s class postponed until Tues day night. A. V. Robison A Son. It More Sunday School Festivals. The Brownoville Methodist Sunday School had a delightful Christmas enter tainment Friday night. The church was tastefully decorated. The festival con sisted of songs, speeohes, recitations, dia logues, distribution of presents, Ac., See. The boys and girls acquitted themselves in their respective roleB with unusual oredit, and reflooted honor upon their school and community. The house was crowded from beginning to end, and the best of order was maintained. There were some fifty ladies, gentlemen and children who took part in the varied and interesting programme, all of whom elic ited warm aud enthusiastic plaudits from the audience. Where all did so well it would be unjust to particularize. Trinity School is in a very flourishing condition, numbeis about one hundred and fifty scholars and occupies fine ground for Sunday School effort. The Broad Street Methodist Sohool also had their Christmas festival Friday night. A Urge number of persons, old and young, were present. The exercises con sisted merely of music, and the distribu. tion of small bags of confectionery. The little folks were made happy and the evening passed off delightfully. This school numbers nearly two hundred teach ers aud soholars and is accomplishing a good work among the ohildren of the city and suburbs. Mr. A. D. Merchant is Su perintendent, A Good Time. Perhaps no part of our population have eujoyed the holidays so much as the opera tives of the Eagle end Pbenix Manufac turing Company, who have been so liber ally dealt with by the officers of the com pany. These operatives were given two days in which to rest, sod were supplied with fine, fat turkeys and other dainties upon which to luxuriate, and that the liberal treat was appreciated and enjoyed we have no doubt. We have never seen this important claas of our community in ■neh high spirits. The little factory boys were supremely happy in firing the oraok- ers famished by their ‘'bosses, ’ and such a universal popping has rarely been beard In these parts. We cannot too highly commend the kindness of beart and liber ality of purse which have characterized the Eagle and Phenix Company in this regard. It is well calculated to briog about a better state of feeling between the officers aud their laborers, and to secure more faithful service from the bone and sinew which contributes so largely to the prosperity of our city and section. Such kind consideration on the part of our capitalists for those in their employ, gives ue a better opinion of human nature, and oonvineee us that there is really no an tagonism between labor and oapital—At least in Columbus. Matt. Murphy, the Marahal of Columbus, was shot under the following circuuiaUn- ces: THE B AGLETS. There is a family named Bagley living near Cusseta, Chattahoochee county, and in this family there are five boys, noted for being boystering bullies, local terrors and habitual pistol toters. They add to their list of acoomplLhmenta that of being hard driukers, rough swearers, and as their admirers say, for such creatures have admirers, “they are powerful n »)y fellers to rile/' On Thursday night two brothers of this peculiar family oarne to our oity, ostensibly to see the show, but in truth to continue a quarrel began with police officer Duucan last summer. One of these brothers is named Benjamin F. Bagley, aged twenty-four; the other is Milford L. Bagley, aged twenty-two. The latter is a married min, a big coarse looking, pock-marked min, who has bean heard to boast that t( he was the only man iu Chattahooohee county who could lick his (Bagley’a) father." The elder Bagloy is said to be in easy, circumstances, aud from what we can learn he has doue but little to correot the innate tendency to broil, drink and pistols in bis sons. TUB VBBBARATIOM. The Bagley a, after the trouble with officer Duncau, were arrested end gave bonds for their appearance, but as too mauy criminal oases have been settled, this one ugaiuHt an offloer of the law was permitted to go unpunished, the Baglays promising to behave. Yesterday they drank freely at the saloon of Heyman A Co., on Broad street, and after having filled themselves with '‘Dutch" courage, as the boys sometimes call whiskey, Mil ford Bagley began to swear at and threaten the police, aud vowing that he would kill Mr. Duncan. Ilea. Bagley swore that “he and his brother could take auy eight po- Uoemen in Columbus and put them in the look-up ;" that “they were from Chatta hoochee, and if any d—d man dare to in terfere with them, By-Ged, they would put daylight through him." They swore aud rared like the oowardly blackguards that they are, till they got down to the store of Watt A Walker, under the Ran kin House. Here Matt Murphy made au effort to get them to leave town quietly. THE BHOOTINO. We eaw the men about thie time, but there was nothing in their walk to denote they were drunk, only their blasphemous words, and that desperado swagger and bearing that in the presence of a Western crowd would have resulted in their lynch ing, for both men had their pistols in their hands, and like tigers thirsting for blood they glared about for the slightest provocation to shoot. Both men mounted their horses and Marshal Mnrpby begged them to go home, and never onoo used a harsh word, though the pistolled despera does were pouring out torrents of vulgar ity, blasphemy and threats. They rode past the Opera House,the officers following at a respectful distance. When opposite Mayor Mcllhenny’s house, right at the oornsr of the Court House squaro, Mil ford Bagley, with a terrible oath turued his horse and came back at the officers, Murphy, McEaohern aud Duncan. Dun can walked ahead to stop Ben Bagley, and Murphy made another effort get Milford to go homo. He laid his hand on the horse’s bridle, intending to arrest the man if he did not leave. But, while he was speaking, Milford Bagley raided the pistol, whioh he held in his hand, and fired at the Marshal, the ball striking Mr. Murphy on the right side of the neck and ranging down towards his heart. The Marshal staggered buck, drew his pistol from bis pooket and fired, the ball striking Bagley in the stomach. At the same instant Officer McEaohern drew his pistol, and though the desperado had turned his horso aud was galloping off, he shot him through the body. Iu the meantime Ben Begley had firod at Officer Duncan, aud the shot was re turned; then both with the speed of the wind galloped away. thr CHASE. The intention of the desperadoes was to escape from the town and reach their home in Chattahoochee, where they, no doubt, felt they would be safe, but Provi dence did not so order it. The best proof that both men were conscious tnd respon sible is that they made to Bush’s corner, on6 mile, inside of threi minutes, aud this while Milford Bagloy had two bullets through his body. At this point the wounded man reined in, and fell from his horse, and his brother and partner in this work came book. In the meantime the officers started in pursuit. Mr. Mc- Miohael tried to get a horse at Mnndy’s, but that good citizen refused to give him an animal. 8o chase was mode in an ex press wagon, and the men were captured in a house into which Milford Bagley had been carried. the baoleys. Nothing could exceed the indignation of the people when they heard Murphy was shot, and this indignation reached the boiliDg point, when a few miuutes after they leamo 1 the Bagleys were cap tured. Ben. Bagley, who escaped unin jured, was the first brought back, and they only required the lead of one de termined man to tear him from the police and bang him in the court-house yard, but fortunately prudence prevailed. Ben. F. Bagley is a man of small stature, with a coarse, besotted face, and brown eyes bleared by passion and intoxioation. He cowed terribly when he met the eyes of the crowd, and he kept his eyes fixed on Mayor Mollheuny with the pleading look of a man who dreaded the conse- madness and intemperance. We con versed with Beu Bagley last night iu jail, but be seemed sullen aud defiant, and at tempted to defend his condoot and that of his brother. MR. MURPHY. Mr. Mnrpby «w very low last night, and the chsnoee are against his recovery. He has been Marshal of onr town for many years, and is universally esteemed as au honorable, upright eltiEen. He is about thirty-three years of age, of Irish extraction aud a Catholic in faith. He has been twice married and has two ohil dren, one of them a baby. After being shot he was curried into Dr. Gheney’a drug store,and the Doctor,assisted by oth er physioians, who soon appeared, did all they could to aid him. Late last night he had been spitting blood, yet he retained his consoioumess, and the dootora feel more eneeuvaged. PISTOLS AND WHISKY. The Bagleya had no reason to hate Mr. Murphy, or any of the officers at whom they so recklessly fired in a crowded street, bnt when they oatne to Columbus, like the cowardly blackguards that they are, they came sober, and with that in signia of a eoward on their persona, pis tols. Their attack on the police, after driukiug mean whisky, was an attaok on the people. One of them has gone to hia account, but the other is equally guilty. We feel sure the law will be vindioated, and that no technical quibbles will be ac cepted as a reason for releasing Ben Bagley ou bond. Only a jury ahould have the power to do this. An indignant and outraged people will anxioualy watch the course of the law. LATBR. Since writing the above we leam that Milford Bagloy is still living, and that he has been released from jail at the reqw of the physicians. Ho is at the House of Col. ltaiford. Mr. Murhy is reported sinking fast. I rorntuunlcaleil. J Church Nutlet.

The holidays have been npon us in fall blast for the past three days. Immense numbers of people, principally oolored, have boon in town, giving at least the ap pearance of business. The general ver dict is, however, that outside of a small retail Christum* traffic, trade has been light. The negroes evidently had little or no money, uud if the whites had much they kept it well eonoealed. The popu lace have been on enjoyment, and as a consequence Old John Robinson’s Circus, whioh exhibited Friday afternoon, had an unusually heavy run. Joseph A Bro. are daily in receipt of New Goods purchased for cash, every variety and style, of which for cash they will sell at the lowest figure, either wholesale or retail.

Many signers of this petition hays no doubt given their signature without -examining into the foots. Petitions signed by the publio seldom express the publio's opinion, as nine men out af ten will sign e petition when solicited, never enquiring into the merits or demerits of the petition. I have, therefere, thought it best to prsssnt few facts to our people that they may see the great injury thoy will do our ooanty in getting a repeal of this law. Besides this petition is not for the benefit of the people, but for the sole benefit of one man, the sheriff. Now, our sheriff is no doubt a very worthy man and a good offloer, and he has a good ojjloe, but it would be $2,000 to $3,000 a year better it he can get oharge of the jail. As a tax payer, I prefer the present plan. If the sheriff thinks the office don’t pop without the jail, he will not be foroed to keep it. His term of office expires in January, and there are many “pood men and true” who will be glad to get the office for the pres ent perquisites. It ia a well known foot that the county was heavily in debt when the Commis sioners went into offioe. I believe about $60,000. For two yeara taxes have been burdensome to pay off ibis debt. Tbs jail was one of the principal items of expense The oouoty is now out of debt. Must we be >o foolish as to re-enact our follies. If we do, it will be but a few years henos before we’ll find ourselves again groaning under high taxes. Timas are hard, truly hard. It behooves States, oounties and oities, as well as individuals to adopt rigid eoonotny. It iaa terrible souffle with uiauy a poor widow and orphan to pay their tales. They have no voica in this matter. WiH the men of Musoogee, by their petitioning the Legislature, cause the repeal 8f a law that will result in the oppression of so many and will benefit only one man, the Sheriff, and he a strong able bodied man with an offioe that with out the Jail, ought to pay $2,000 to $3,000 per annum. The Commissioners hsvs offered the Sheriff the position of jailor, with ti^e salary, provided he wotld live at the jail and take oharge of it; bnt ha re- fqiea. My time being limited, I have not gotten the figures as full and oomplete as I would daoito. But sufficient, I think, for this communication. I gain from the Ordinary’s books that the oounty paid the jailor tbs year befors the Commissioners want into offioa from November 1, 1871, to November 1, 1872, $4,810 50. Tbs Commissioners took charge of the jail on November 1, 1872, and paid expenses for jail from November 1, 1872, to November 1, 1873, $1,433 84; from November 1, 1873, to November 1, 1874, $1,780 08—a saving the first yasr of $3,376 66; the second year, $3,030 42. In fact the expenses of the jail under the control of Commissioners are about ooe-third the amount as under the sys tem proposed by this petition. Will our people, koowing these faots, permit them selves to be used to get a repeal of this law? I will not believe it. Several gen tlemen have informed ms that they gave their* signature without knowing the faot| believing it would not in crease the burden on the county. Others have said that they were under the impression the Commissioners sanctioned the petition, and knowing the Coininis- aiouers to bo good men thoy were willing to endorse them. Others signed without reflecting, being solicited to A so, yet a great mauy of our host citizens have re fused, but their refusal carries no weight as our Legislature will only see the peti tion that is signed, unless a counter p# titioo Is gotten up. The late grand jury recommends the present plan. Won't some active oitizen take bold of tbs mat ter and have the wishes of Musoogee county put before the Legislature ? Old Citizen. per set by R. A.

Jordan will return to the island accompanied by Aguilera and the formor wi'l assume chief command of the Insurgents.
