a policeroao, Coppedgo was retreating from Smith,

on," Coppedge immediately turned on him and fired

pedge did not snoot at that time. Coppedge ran.
O’Shields and Smith followed him. Coppedge fired

Sad Spectacle.
Yesterday, soon after the adjournment of the Police
Court, and while the Mayor and Recorder were mak
ing their way ta the office of the former, they observed
a negro boy, apparently eighteen years old, fall down
on the pavement, wh»re he lay writhing in the agon-
lee of a paroxysm for some moments.
The Mayor directed tome kind colored men to carry
him to the Station Honse to rest. This, and similar
occurrences almost daily point very forcibly to the
great need of a good Hospital in the city. Will the
time never come when the best that can be done for
sick strangers in this city will be no better than hud
dling them among criminals.

The Mayor and Council met last night in the Re

The charges specify that he neglected his duty rela

against him by Alderman Sparks. W. T. Newman,

The defendant plead not guilty to the chargee. Al
derman Sparks was, at his own request, excused from
voting in the csss. It came out on the trial under the
first charge, a committee of the Council was at

PICVXC EXCURSION TO 1CZVIUJB.
Early yesterday morning the members of tbe above
young but flourishing and vigorous fire company, and
Urge number of their friends, left the city for the
purpose of recreating and enjoying themselves at
Ioeville during the day. Landing at the grounds after
a short ride, nothing remained to be done but to
pursne the object for which the crowd had assembled,
and to this they proceeded with gloves off. The
excellent platform was patronized to a reason'
able extent, while refreshments and edibles
i on band ic abundance, and all who felt inclined
eat, drank and were merry, though not a single fire-
, to their credit be it said, was seen Intoxicated
during the day. Everybody enjoyed themselves, and
were intensely delighted, and no accident occurred
except in one instance. Frank Mills got shot—just
enough to kill a few ducks on the river. Each ex
cursions t, according to their taste, prtronized the
refreshments, ice works, platform and river scenery.
The gallant members of No. 6. have served the city
efficiently in combatting the angry flames, and we are
glad to see them making such demonstrations of
health and bouyancy as was exhibited by them on
yesterday.
BOLD LAKCENY.
Early yesterday morning a thief or thieves managed
to effect an entrance into the rooms of the Young Men’s
Library, from the street through the outside window,
and after entering took and carried away a ease of
coins belonging to the Librarian, Mr. Herbst, who
had at much expense to himself collected them togeth
er as specimens. Many of these were foreign coins
from different countries, extending back as far aa the
year 1700, and worth in the aggregate about two hun
dred dollars. Ob ascertaining the mischief,Mr. Herbst
was greatly incensed and troubled on account of the
loss of the precious metals, but up to a late hour laa t
night no trace of the offender had been located. A lib
eral reward will be paid for the apprehension and ar
rest of the evil doer—sc silth Charlie.
Opelika, Ala., May 28, 1873.
With this I send yon a report of the evi
dence which bos thus far been taken in the
case of Mr. Hooper for the killiog of Thomas
H. Phillips. The excitement is very great
and the feeliug against Hooper decidedly
strong. As might be supposed nothing else
has been talked about. To-morrow a young
lady will be placed on the stand and the whole
town is in a state of excitement to know wbat
she will testily to.
The following is tbe teEtimony :—
Mr. John B. Boss having been sworn, de-
poseth and saitb: I know Thomas H. Phil
lips; I last saw him on Thursday evening; he
was dead in tbe court house yard in Opelika,
Lee county, Alabama. When the train came
in from Columbus on last Thursday, I met
Mr. Hooper, and told him of a rumor in cir
culation about him. Mr. Hooper asked Mr.
Phillips about what he said; they talked to
gether about eight or ten minntes; Mr.
Hooper asked Mr. Phillips to take back or
deny what he said he saw, which Mr. Phillips
refused to do. Mr. Phillips said that he saw
Mr. Hooper and some lady go to a certain
place in town. Mr. Hooper asked him to take
back “that he saw him brush the leaves from
off the back of the lady.'* Mr. Hooper de
nied that part of the charge; and said to Mr.
Phillips, I was in hopes that you would tell
the troth. Mr. Phillips replied that he could
prove what he saw, and told Mr, Hooper to
keep cool and investigate the matter. I saw
Hooper draw the pistol; they were about three
feet apart ; a ecu tile ensued, and the firing took
place. I met Mr. Hooper and told him of the
rumor. Hooper asked him to go with him
and see Mr. Phillips. I suggested to him to
bring Mr. Phillips to the court honse, I would
see them together on my way to the court
house. I saw Mr. Phillips at Carlton A
Smith’s store, and called him, and Phillips
and I walked to the court house together. X
told Phillips that Hooper was looking for
him, and suggested that he go where Hooper
could find him. Mr. Phillips walked out and
soon after Hooper came in. I was in Mr. Me
Namee’s office. I then got np and suggested
that we all go where there would be more
piivacy. We found Phillips on the southeast
end of the court house. I suggested that we
all sit down, which was agreed to by Mr.
Phillips. Hooper objected, saying that he was
unwell, and did not feel like sitting down. At
this time the conversation was introduced,
but I do not know by whom. I stated what
Mr. Phillips had told me, which he substan
tiated, that Mr. Hooper and a lady had be?n
seen togother, * * * When I made this
statement Mr. Phillips said yes. Mr. Hooper
replied to Mr. Phillips that part of the state
ment about brushing off the dirt is not so,
and I want you to take it back. He also said
to Mr. Phillips, I was in hopes you would tell
the truth; to which Mr. Phillips replied, I
have told the truth, and have only
stated what I saw. In the bal
ance of the conversation Hooper asked
him two or three times to take back a portion
of the statement, which Phillips refused to
do. This was about the substance of all that
was said. I first saw the pistol in Hooper’s
pants pocket; they were in two or three feet
of each other when I saw the pistol in Mr.
Hooper’s pocket; it wa3 in his right pants
pocket, he d^ew it out slowly; Mr. Phillips
got almost between Hooper and myself, as
soon as the pistol was drawn; about the time
I saw the butt of the pistol, Mr. Phillips
rushed at Mr. Hooper; Mr. Phillips jumped
at Mr. Hooper at the time, or, in other words,
made toward him. Mr. Phillips did nothing
at the time he went towards Mr. Hooper, ex
cept to stretch forth his hands ; the pistol was
not out of Mr. Hooper’s pocket at the time
Mr. Phillips started towards him; the handle
ot it was in Mr. Hooper’s hand; he was then
drawing it slowly out; Mr. Hooper fired the
pistol twice; he had it cocked a third time.
Mr. McNamee took the pistol from Mr. Hoop
er; I saw no weapon in the hands of Mr.
Phillips. The tone of Mr. Phillips during the
conversation was not boisterous; it was rather
mild. During the conversation Mr. Phillips
remarked to Mr. Hooper, “I went to you as a
father, and cautioned you in the matter;”
there was nothing said during the conversa
tion about a letter. Mr. Hooper showed me
a letter; did not notice the signature, but un
derstood from Hooper that it was from Phil
lips. Witness is here shown a letter which
he says is the one he saw, which is follows:
May 9th, 1873.
Ms. John Hoopeb:
Dear Sir:—The matter you and 1 spoke and
talked of on Monday morning, the 7th of
April, is going the rounds about the city. I
will not name subject, from the fact I told
you I would not. I have kept my pledge.
Have refused several times to give names
when asked to do so. You, of coarse, will
hear it soon. I think its first start came from
some negroes. But I am satisfied that it is
out. How far it has gone I can’t say; but
I tell you that I am not the exposer to the
public. Yours, Ac.,
Thomas H. Phillips.
I do not remember that any reference was
made to this letter in the conversation be
tween the parties at the time of the killing.
It was not exceeding fifteen minntes from
the time the conversation commenced until
the pistol was taken from the hands of Hoop
er. I saw but little display of anger on either
side. I did not see Phillips do anything else
than is testified to above. I did not pay
sufficient attention to know the position of
the hands. My mind was directed to the con
versation. I have stated about all that took
place os near as I remember it.
CBOS8 EXAMINATION.
I do not remember how long I have known
Mr. Hooper. I do not know his age; should
think about nineteen or twenty years old. I
think I know in what estimation he is held,
he is well esteemed; bis general character is
;ood. 1 learn that he had been to Silver
tun; I don’t know how long he had been
away. I know that he had been absent; du
ring his absence I saw Mr. Phillips. I think
it was about a week before Hooper's return
that I saw Phillips; held a conversation with
him; the conversation was about Hooper and
Miss Julia Barnett; the names were not men
tioned; the rumor was that her chastity had
bee a violated by Hooper. I told Mr. Phillips
that the young lady was a Iriepd of mine and
I think it is more than probable that I told
him that I had come to see about it I don’t
remember that he asked me who the lady was;
I was referred to him by another party; the
other party was Dr. Cobb. I went to him,
Phillips. Mr. Phillips told me that tbe par
ties, on the sixth of April, Suoday evening,
went to a certain place near Mr. Phillips’
home; back of the patch near by the Terrell
lake. I was speaking of Hooper and Miss
Barnett; I did not mention to him the names
of the parties I referred to; Phillips said, “I
saw them go to a patch near my house.
***** Phillips stated that be did
not know the ladv’a name nor did he say
what it was; he aaia that he saw them get up,
and that he saw Hooper brash the dirt off her
dress or tack. In that conversation he was
standing eighteen or twenty feet from them at
that time. Mr. Phillips said he was in his
own lot at the time he saw them, he said his
wife was present when be saw them;
he did not say any body else saw it; he said
some negroes saw them go down there; he did
not tell me that Mrs. Phillips did not see it;
he said he told her to tarn her back. I went
back to the patch and saw the ground; there
lean opening between the patch and the
houae; there is an open field west or south
west of the spot of ground. Terrell’s lake is
in view of the spot; Mr. Phillips’ house is in
open view of the spot when standing up. I
hare known Mies Julia Barnett several years;
a person eighteen or twenty feet of the place
referred to, would not be concealed if they
who her guardian i«. I first »w Mr, Hooper
last Thursday about 1 o'clock, it might have
been 2 o'clock; I met Mr. Hooper at the post
office; I bad a conversation with him there; I
told him abont the rnmor that was being cir
culated abont him and Min Julia Barnett,
and advised him to take steps to correct it; I
told him that hs wonld find a note for him,
(Hooper) at his fathers; gome one, I think
Dr. Cobb, told me that Mr. Phillips had writ
ten to Mr. Hooper; Ido not know that Mr.
Hooper went down home to get the letter. In
this conversation, or about that time, Mr.
Hooper asked mo if I would go with him to
see Mr. Phillips; I told Mr. Hooper in that
conversation exactly what I had heard about
him, just as I have heretofore stated it; I
think probable that Mr. Hooper, askod me in
the conversation if she knew of the rumor; I
told him I did not think Mis* Harnett knew
it; I told Mr. Hooper that I wonld die a hun
dred deaths or vindicate her character; that
was not more than two hours before we met
at the court honse, perhaps not that long; I
told Mr. Hooper if he would come to the
court house with Mr. Phillips, that I would
hear the conversation; I called Mr. Phillips
to the court house and told him Mr. Hooper
was hnntiDg him for the purpose of having
an interview with him about the matter; Mr.
Hooper after a while camoup and went round
the court house; I sat down near the!
comer abont four or five feet from it;
Mr. Phillips was with ns ; in the conversation
then he did not say exactly what the rumor
charged ; he modified a little ; Mr. Phillips
said that the parties either set down or equat
ed down—that they disappeared from his
sight. Mr. Phillips then said, they, Mr.
Hooper and the lady, stepped off a log aud
disappeared from him ; Mr. Phillips 1 said he
saw Mr. Hooper brush the dirt off her back
or dress. I don’t remember which ; I infer
red Mr. Phillips said from the Lack of her
clothing. He said he was thirty steps off
when he saw it. I asked Dr. Cobb or some
one to step out and vacate the office, that
seme one and myself might have a private
conversation ; whoever was in there went out;
after they went out I had a conversation with
Hooper, or whoever remained in the office ; I
do not remember who was in with me ; I do
not remember that I said to Hooper anything
about Miss Barnett, if it was Hooper with me
when I had the conversation ; it was before I
went into the Registrar’s office ; after the con
versation I met Mr. Hooper at Shepard Bank,
about three o'clock, or a little after ; the
shooting took place between 3 and 4 o’clock,
p. m. ; I don't think P. went more than eight
or ten feet before ho fell ; Hooper also fell,
why I don't know ; Hooper was backing and
Phillips pursuing ; Hooper was falling five or
six feet; I think they got up opposite the leit
hand window of McNamee’s office ; I do not
remember how he fell ; I stepped behind the
court house because the parties were in a line
with myself; there were six or ten seconds
between the shots ; I merely stepped around
the house to keep out of the way ; I do not
think any one was falling at the time
of the first shot; I did not go back un
til I saw Hooper getting up ; what took place
in the interval between tho two shots I did
not see ; I saw Hooper down on the ground ;
Phillips was standing when the first shot was
fired ; both was standing face to face ; the last
thing I saw was Phillips pursuing and H.
backing ; I think some twelve or fifteen feet
intervened from where I last saw him before
going around the court house comer ; when
I saw him getting up I saw nothing in
Phillips' hand ; Mr. Phillips was rather larg
er than Hooper ; I do not know Mr. Phillips’
age ; he was probably, fifty or fittv-fiye years
old ; I have stated that the ladies’ name wae
never mentioned by Phillips ; I told Hooper
that the rumor mentioned their names, not
that Phillips called them ; it is possible that
the latter was shown to me in the conversation
referred to. that is in the Probate office; it was
after 2 o’clock when I told him abont the letter;
about one and a quarter hours after I told
him about the letter, the killing took place;
don't remember wbat time I saw the letter;
Phillips did not mention the girl's name, and
I did not tell Harper so, but did tell him that
Lamar mentioned it; Phillips told me that
Hooper brushed the leaves off the lady’s
dress, and I so stated to Hooper; Phillips
said to Hooper that he did not know the
lady’s name, in the conversation when the
killing took place; about half an hour inter
vened between the time I met him (Hooper)
at the bank and the killing; about the same
length of time intervened between the lime I
told him abont the letter and the time 1 met
him at the bank; I told Hooper at the hotel
he ought to take steps to vindicate the lady.
Mr. Wm. G. Phillips, having been duly

Phillips last on Friday evening, at the time
he was buried; I am no relative of the de
ceased; on Thursday evening about three or
four o’clock, I came up to the court honse
with Mr. Hagerman; was sitting in the
clerk’s window, and heard persons talking
outside. I looked, and saw Mr. Ross sitting
down on a rock, and Mr. J. M. Hooper and
and Mr. T. H. Phillips talking; hearing the
conversation, I saw the parties; I did not
hear what Hooper srid; heard Phillips say he
conld establish what he saw ' by responsible
witnesses. They stayed there a few minutes
longer, and Mr. Ross got up; Mr. Phillips
stooped down, for what purpose I did not
know, like he was showing something; he
soon reared up and brushed his hands over
Mr. Ross’ back, like he was rubbing some
thing oft, though I conld not distinguish
what he said. There was but a moment of
time, when Mr. Hooper stepped back, draw
ing his pistol, and Mr. Phillips running to
ward him like he was grabbing at tho pistol.
At the fire of the pistol both men fell. Mr.
Thomas Phillips fell toward Mr. Hooper and]
Mr. Hooper fell backwards. Mr. Phillips re
covered on his all fours, or on his hands and
knees. Mr. Hooper recovered ne lrly straight
and fired the second time. Mr. Phillips fell
over to the right, and remained there; Mr.
Hooper cocked his pistol, making ready for
the third fire, when Mr. McXamee jumped
out of his window and hollowed to him not
to shoot, you are my prisoner, catching him
by the arm and taking from him the pistol.
Mr. Hooper gave np, and called for the Sher
iff. The Sheriff immediately came and took
charge of him; I went for a doctor, aud
called Dr. Shepherd; I was not gone more
than five or six minntes, and when I got back
Phillips was dead. I saw the bulk of the
pistol first in Hooper’s pocket. There was a
wound in the left shoulder of Phillips’ where
the ball entered. I first saw him put his
hand outside his pocket, as if he was loosen
ing the pistol. Mr. Phillips was killed in
Lee county, Alabama, the twenty-second day
of May, 1873, (22d day May).

The rescue of part nf the crew of the Po
laris, and the strange story told by them, has
led to a great deal of loose and reckless ex-
preasion of opinion concerning tbe prominent
members of Capt. Hall’s expedition. There
are those who profess to believe that Capt
Tyson and his party were either deserters who
attempted to leave the ship in boats, or ant-
tracers whom Capt. Bnddington was forced
to eet on shore. Others believe that Bud-
dington himself cruelly deserted Tyson and
hia men, while one of the Esquimaux belong
ing to the latter party openly chargee Bnd
dington with having poisoned Hall. There
will undoubtedly be a Government Investiga
tion into the matter, and we shall learn the
troth. Until this is done, it is worse than _
folly to ebarge brave men with the commission stoo4in the lot; Mr. Phillips did not tsll me

A Sensation at Canton, Ga.
From the Carteraville Express.
We learn from a friend just from Canton,
that a party of .ten or a dozen front Pickens
county, led by one Jerry Warren, and armed
with pistols and shot guns, surronnded the
house of Colonel Benjamin F. McCollum,
early on Friday morning of last week, called
him to the door, presented a pistol at his
breast and ordered him to surrender. Mc
Collum being entirely unprepared to defend
himself at the time, yielded to the demand,
and sent for Colonel James R. Brown and
and others, who examined the authority of
the party tor making the arrest, and found
that it come from the Superior Court of Pick
ens county, based upon an indictment for
a murder which McCollum was charged
with committing during the war, and
which had been stricken from the
docket some lime ago, in accord
ance with an act of tho Leg
islatnre, but which had again been recently
revived. Warren and bis party refused to ro-
jease McCclIam on any oondition whatever,
and declared their intention of taking him to
Pffckens, dead or alive. They accordingly
procured a rope, intending to tie tho prisoner
after leaving town. He was marched before
them for a short distance, when he suddenly
made a thrust at Warren with hiB knife, mak-
a considerable wound on his neck, bnt failing
to sever tbe j ugnlar vein, which was his
intention to do. He then broke ranko ar
volley war fired at him, bnt he succeeded
making his escape uuhurt. Ben has hot
acted as he onght to hove done in many in
stances; but we hope that he will be let alone,
provided that be should hereafter obey the
law and comply with its requirements.
A queer Delawarean, by his will, divided
bis property among his children, and left his

The Atlanta Herald.
Announcement for 1873.
Established only in August o last year,
he Atlanta Herald has, in five short months,
risen to the front rank of Georgia journalism,
and has obtained a circulation which has not
any precedent in the history of Southern
newspapers.
When first issued, the proprietors declared
their purpose to make the Herald a bold,
outspoken paper, independent of all political
parties, cliques and rings ard devoted solely
to the interests of the masses, without regard
to class or station. The condition of politi
cal parties in the South was soch, that un
der no circumstances conld the Herat,t> give
its Rnpport to Badicalism; hence, it haa in
variably advocated the election of Democrats
to office, snch advocacy being based npon the
capacity of candidates. The Herald, there
fore, has assumed the position of an inde
pendent Democratic newspaper, and will con
tinue to hold it, so long as tbe Democracy
remain the political party which serves the
people with more honesty and ability than
any other party in the State. Nevertheless,
the Herald will continue, in the future, as in
the past, to criticise men and measures,
without regard to political prejudices and
affiliations, condemning everything its pro
prietors believe injurious to the interests of
Georgia, and praising and supporting all
that they believe likely to promote the pros
perity of the State and the happiness of her
people.
As a newspaper, the Herald is already ad
mitted to be without a rival in Georgia. Events
transpire with such rapidity that every per
son who desires to keep pace with the times,
must have a live daily or weekly paper. Our
columns will be found to give the very latest
news on every subject. Whatever of inter
est occurs in any part of the world is made
known to our readers, and all tbe various top
ics of the day are discussed intelligently and
without bias.
Never before in the history of the world
was it more necessary for every person who
can read to subscribe for a newspaper. The
struggle between centralism and Constitu
tional Democratic Government is entering
upon a new phase. Gigantic railroad and
bond rings at the North control and direct
the legislation of Congress, and as their m-
; terest can only be advanced by tbe existence
| of a strong, centralized government, they are
I passing laws, one by one, whose ultimate de-
The I is to reduce the States to the con-

South has been converted into a second Ire
land; her governments overturned by the
mandate of a petty judge, backed by federal
bayonets ; her people plundered by foreign
adventurers and native scoundrels, and her
liberties crushed out with a ruthlessness which
has not any parallel save in Polaud, Ireland,
and Hungary. To day the men who straggled
through six years of bloody warfare, and the
children of the martyrs to the cause of South
er n Independence are political slaves, and
what their future i* to be, remains shrouded
in impenetrable darkness. Meantime, the
terrible corruptions of the party in power, as
proven by the Credit Mobilier expositions,
implicating the outgoing and incoming Vice
Presidents, together with a large number of
the most prominent leaders of tho Kadicals,
are undermining the very foundation of Dem
ocratic institutions, and paving the way for
empire.
While in the United States there is much
of mournful interest to attract the reader of
cotemporary history, abroad the drama is
equally exciting and important. France
still kept unquiet by the violence of political
factions; in Great Britain the masses are
moving towards Democracy; in Germany the
Church question has assumed formidable
proportions; in Italy the situation increases
in interest, while in Spain there are evidences
that the revolution which placed Amadeus on
the throne is not yet ended. Everywhere, th
short, do we daily witness new and startling
occurrences, the regular and faithful record
of which makes the Herald a perfect history
of the world.
