Routkrra Life laturaaee Company. General Colquitt, the Vice President of the Atlanta Branch of this company, has just returned from Charleston, where, in company with General Gordon, be succeeded in organizing a large board of policy holders, consisting of seventy-aix ot Charleston’i citizens. We notice representatives of every class Among the lawyers era such names as, W. D. Porter, Samuel Lord, Jr., Isaac Hayae, C. Richardson Miles, and M. P. O’Connor; among the merchants and bro kers, such as Louis D. DeSaussnre, The*. D. Wsguer, John Harckel, B. F. Huger, W. A. Courtney, J. Reid Boyluton, and others, who are well known to tbe citi zens of Charleston and the people of tbe State. The Executive Committee consists of Samuel Y Tupper, President; Wm. D. Porter, Vice-President; Eben Coffin, Secretary; J. Richardson Miles, Attorney; Henry Gourdon, Charles O. White, Louis D. DeSaus- suss, J. Reid Boylaton. H. H. DeLeon, Theo. D. Jervey. The fact that such gentlemen as compose this Com mittee hare accepted the trust la tbe best seen ranee that can be given to the polity holders who knew them that this Pioneer Southern Company is fully entitled to confidence sun patronage. This Company in (ha most ranceroua opposition and uljuml assaults from partisan Life Insurmuce journals baa gone or iug as no other Southern Company ever did, iw4t has accumulated over one and a halt mil lion of assets and has an income of more than a rail bon of dollars. Gen. Colquitt has recently been directing his active energies to the advancement of this great Southern enter prise. Here where he le known it is needless to apeak of hia char acter or ability. Ho is sarong the moat warmly loved of Georgia’s sous, and hia r patation for honesty and uprightness has no etain. The Southern Life in the past has outstripped all competition, and from the success which has attended General Colquitt’s efforts in Charleston, we feel assured that henceforth it will have no rival in South Carolina.

Fulton Superior Court. HON. JNO L. HOPKINS, JUDOE PRESIDING. E. J. Maahburn was excused from further service as a Petit Juror. The jury was completed in the case of tue State vs. Mrs Parser, who is charged with arson. The following is a list of the jury: J. K. P. Lord, Daniel Morgan, G. R. Dudley, E. Block, A. O. McGay, J. B. Simmons, Young Garrett, W. H. Giossup, J. Wsrlick, H. H. Witt. George F. Glasner, Thomas Scrutchina. The State proved toy M. M. White, \V. L. Joues and W. A. Bonnell, policemen, that on the night of the alleged arson at about one o’clock, the store house of John R. Parker, defendant’s husband, was discov ered to toe on Are. Ibey tried to enter It but found it locked. Forced door of dwelling house open; found defendant inside; furniture etc., almost all removed from dwelling to various out houses which were locked; fouud lighted pine burning between plat tar ing and weatherboarding. Defendant said when told that the house waa set on fire “do not implicate my husband, I will bear all the blame.” The houses were insured at an excessive valuation. Other witnesses proved about insurance and valuation. Houses situat ed within this city and county. The State closed at five minutes to four o’clock. The defense introduced Mr. Evans, a livery stable man of Marietta, who testified that the day before the burning at nightt John R. Parker came to hia stable and hired a horse to go to Mr. Harding’s, near Powder Springs; left in that direction; returned next day; eaw accounts in Atlanta papers of tbe burning; said he was ruined; saw that he was accused of burn ing hia house and took witness’ address. Mr. Hardy testified that at sunset of the evening that the house waa burned at night J. R. Parker was at his son’s near Powder Springs in Cobb county: saw him there lata at night and early next morning; neither witness nor hia ton is related to Mr. Paiker; don't known what business Parker bad with my eou. James Hardy testified that he lives cue and a half miles from Powder Springs, twenty milea from At lanta, thirteen miles from Marietta. My wile ia Mrs. Parker’s niece; J. R. Parker came to my house the evening of the fire; rode horseback; we sat up till nine or ten o'clock; we went to bed together at that time; he in bed when .1 woke at daylight next morning; took breakfast with me; don’t think he could have left during tbe night without my knowing it; left my house between seven and eight o’clock, atying be waa going to Powder Springs; he caine over there to g< t up butter, eggs and chickens. Benjamin Hardy, Jr—Knows J. K. Parker; saw him at brothers night of evening; saw him at two or three o’clock in evening and at niue o’clock at night; saw him in the garden about sun rise next morning; left between seven and eight o’clock in direction of Pow der Springe. Mr. House, blacksmith—Married; live at Powder Springs; saw Mr. Parker Tuesday, third of June, at my shop about two o’clock; left in direction of Mr. Hardy'*; coxae back to my shop next morning at eight nino o'clock; left in direction of Marietta; am not related to defendants. J. A. Tnttle, carpenter, knows defendants; where they live; Parker’s dwelling waa put up three or four years ago; not much variance in price of building ma terial then and now; have seen the houses; houses would cost $800 or $850 dollars; this includes store house. P. M. Parks, Mrs. Parker aud my wife are sis’.era, Mrs. Little is also her slater; know the houses that were burned; went into a detailed description of the houses, style of buildiDg, etc. (The insurance poli cies show that the houses, furniture aud wearing ap parel were insured for $1,200. The defense sre relying ou an alibi in the case against John R. Parker. What their line of defense will be in the case now on trial i« not so clear, bat as the evidence against Mrs. Parker is purely circum stantial, the probability is that she will be acqnited. Great interest is manifested in the progress of the case, as the crime charged is one rarely committed thesa parts. TBe case will perhaps occupy all this morning. City Directory. We learn that Messrs. MoereAeld, Dualop and Dod son, of this city, will, in a law days, commence work upon a City Directory.

As is well knowu to onr readers, laham Belton O'Neal, of this city, was sentenced to be hung on the 13th of Jo oe, to day, iu the Fulton county jail yard, for the MUHDED OF MR. LITTLE some year ago. Very great excitement lias beeu de veloped In the case lately, aud ou yesterday at eleven o'clock, a petition, very numerously signed, some written statements from O’Neal himself, some argu ments from the lawyers, and some additional testi mony in the case, waa presented to Governor Smith by the prisoner's wife, and mother, and father, sad Messrs. Spencer and Westmoreland, attorneys for the prisoner, and a COMMUTATION OK RESPITE ASKED FOR. The interview between this afflicted family, their big-hearted counsel aud the Governor ia said to have been very affecting. The Governor waa affected to tears, and Col. Spencer came out of the room crying. The father, motner and wife begged piteously for time, stating that they could show up new evidence. The Governor took the papers presented, promising to give them a careful and just review, and, if there was anything to justify it, to commute tbe seitence or grant a respite, aod DISMISSED TBE SUPPLIANT*. Late yesterday evening a Herald reporter getting a pass from Hon. Dan Pittman, called at the jail to O'Neal. He found the yard full of spectators, lounging aronud, seme on business, but the most on curiosity. We were courteously met by Capt. Wiap, the jailor, and invited in. We found Mr. Dickey, Mr. Pattillo, Mr. Edens, and one or two other ministers on the ground, earnestly working to save the poor soul. On the knees of each gentleman’s pants were great splotches of dust, telling plainly of THE GREAT 8TRUGGLE THEY HAD MADE for the mastery over O’Neal’s passion, and worldliness. In an interview with Mr. Pztillo we found that there was very little hope that he was as yet state to meet his Maker. Said ibis worthy gealleman : “He told me to-day that he not prepared to die—-but that for the past six weeks he had been praying all the time, and reading the Bible a great deal; that in one day and night he read the Gospel of Matthew through, and, waa beginning to realize something of the scheme of salvation, and on one or two occasions had thought he was blest. I am afraid though he is not exactly in the right state for the great event of to-morrow. ” Reporter—“Mr. EdenB, have you anything to say that will give us additional light on this subject ?” Rev. Mr. Edena—“I have just left him, and am afraid that he is noi fully changed nnto Christ yet, though he is vory ranch melted, and very much softened. He has been intense all day, and says that sometimes he thinks he will be saved. One reason for this is that about two weeks ago be gave up all malice towards all his enemies; ceased to feel vindictive towards them, and would not to-day HURT A IIAIR OE T1IE1R HEADS. He had hitherto been very bitter toward them. The truth is the poor fellow can hardly compass the scheme of religion, as he never thought of it at all before. He says to me to-day: “It is so strange to I hope for tbe best though. His mind is in a good state.” And thus these big hearted preachers strove and struggled with this poor murderer, no where illustrating their profession more grandly than in thi* poor fellow's cell, telling the story of redemp tion to him as tenderly and as earnestly aa if he were a king upon hia throne. 1 he reporter then went to ask O’Neal if he would LIKE TO BEE A HERALD RETP.ESENTATIVE, and he replied that he would be very much pleased. Tha iron bars were throwu back,the giated door swung hoarse and reluctant upon it shinges, and we en tered the murderer’s cell. Crouching af«r off in the corner was a massive, bn ad shouldered, well knit man, clad in heavy boots, with light cassimere pants stuffed down in them, a light vest, and checked shirt. A heavy wool hat was thrown back from off a broad uuwrinkled brew. With A QUICK AND CROUCniNG STEP he met us at the door, and gave us his hand. I am glad to see you,” he said, and then apologeti cally, “I am very aorry that I have no texts to offer you.” Tbe cell had in it simply a pallet, on which tbe prisoner could stretch himself. Not another thing, movable or Immovable. The prisoner bad a chew cf tobacco in his mouth, and a tooth-pick and a little twelve inch wooden rnle in his pockets, both of which he was continually handling rather nervously. Said he. “THE HERALD HAM BEEN VERY FRIENDLY to me, and I am glad to see you. Yonr'e is tbe only paper that wouid publish my statement, and I am very thankful to you. Have yon heard anything from the Governor in relation to hia action on my case? Reporter—Nothing at all definite, except that be says yon shan’t be hung, until he baa carefully exam ined the papers submitted to him, which will probably take him till morning. O’Neal—Well, all I ask is justice. I do believe that if I could get a new trial, I could prove myself clear, easily; there ia a man named Kennedy that can clear me; some in New Orleans that I will hear from to night, that can giv«5 very important testimony. | quiet and detailed manner O’Neal then gave us his version of the killing, which is so nearly exactly like his statement published here some weeks ago, that we do not fee 1 it necessary to reproduce it.] When he bad concluded, he says, “And that is THE TRUTH 5IO HELP ME GOP.” Reporter—Do you intend to die to-morrow. If yon must die, with that statement on your lips? Is that your final determination ? O’Neal, looking up quickly and firmly—Yea, sir, that is tbe truth, and I am not afraid to die with it. I killed Little in self defense, because I thovght he wccld kill me if he conld. I did not intend at first to kill him. Reporter—Have you e\er had any serious difficulties before this one ? O'Neal—Yes, sir, one only. That was in 1462. 1 was then staying with Mr. Whorton, an old co&fec tioner here that yon may hava known. He sold chaeae, and we had a very long cheese knife which was very dull, and be told me to go up to tbe State Road shop to get it ground. While on my way back I bad THE KNIFE STUCK IN MY BREECHES, and met somo six or seven hoys. They commenced attacking me with rocks, etc., trying to run me wouldn't run, but charged them. I was struck five or aix times in the head with rocks before I ccnld get to any of them. Yon can see the scars here, and push ing a mass of heavy black hair, he allowed us several ugly scars. At last I caught one of them. He had big rock in his hand, and commenced beating me oveT the head with it, when 1 drew my knife and ent him once or twice from the lower part of his belly np across his side. Some gentlemen then came np and parted ns, bat I whipped the whole crowd out. And hit face lighted np with a half smile as he stretched hia brawny anus backwards and forwards yearningly, In bis narrow cell. For several days they thought the fellow would die, bnt he got over it. HIS ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE. Reporter—Yon made an attempt to escape some daya ago, didn’t yon V O’^pal—Oh, yea, air ; but you can’t blame a man, Itowgb. for trying to mt* hi, lira.

From tha jailsr wa laaraod that through rcmaika dropped by some of O’Ncxl’s follow prisoners, it was feared that ho would attempt to commit suicide, when he found that he must necessarily be hung. Consequently fie wm to-day taken oat of his old cell, and put In a new *®ue, where there was no possible means for him to perform this desperate set. The utmost caution was preserved, and even two small biscuits that his wife brought him were excluded as being the possible means of something of this kind. We believe these apprehensions were wholly unfounded. At about dark we left tlie jail, leaving for the Governor’s office to hear the result of his deliberation. Tlxc (-allows. Through the kindness of the officials wo were then allowed to visit the gallows which is situated in tho southeast corner of the jail yard. It was just being completed wben we reached the spot. Two upright beams twelve feet high are let into two sills lying on tha ground, aud surmounted by a transverse beam running from cse to the other. In the center of this beam there is an auger hole one inch iu diameter, through which the rope is to pass. Six feet from the ground are two crocs-bars ou which the platform is fastened by means of hinges attached to eaci'. The platform is composed of two pieces coming nearly together in the center of the scaffold. Here they are supported by the triggers, which are exactly like trap triggers, only much larger. When the triggers are sprung the platform will immediately drop, each leaf falling on one side and leaving the victim suspended in tbe air. Besides this drop there ia ail additional platform laid across the same lateral bars, intended for the Sheriff, ministers, 4c. This will be removed before the execution. Tho whole structure is neatly and substantially built. In the jail yard we noticed a large bull-dog, which is kept chained in the daytime but is loosed at night. fcfiyoti wto WTORM*, AN» I.rp FOTPUT, fifffl who Otofle the key*. But, meditating awhile. "1 won't do it, affber ; I promised not to tall, and I'U just let it die with me.” We had a half boar’s frirther converssUon with the prisoner, during which time nothing much wm asld and he always txpreaeed tha hope and belief that Smith would respite him. Finally, M we left him, be shook our hand cordially, and says, “Com# down again to-night and ace ms.” which wa promised to do and left him. On reaching tha outer compartment we found TOR PRCSOWRR'a WIFfC. a weary looking woman, with a sad bnt sweet face Kciult of (be Application for Commuta tion. At eleven o'clack last night a Herald reporter called at the Executive Department aud found the Governor closeted with his private Secretary, Colonel P.W. Alex ander, in consultation about the case. After waiting in the ante-room a considerable length of time they came out looking like they were very much fatigued and the Governor looking 6adly as though he felt the heavy responsibility resting upon him. His decision on tbe application is best expressed in the language of his letter to O’Neal’s counsel of which the following is an exact copy. Executive Department, State of Georgia, Atlanta, Ga., June 12, 1873. Heart. 8. li. Spencer, T. P. Westmoreland and L. J. Gartrcll, Atlanta Gentlemen—I have read and carefully considered the application made by 'yourselves, and the petition presented by many citizens, asking that the sentence of death pronounced by the Court against I. B. O'Neal, be commuted to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. A sense of duty to the public constrains me to decline to grant tbe application. Tho affidavit of witnesses submitted to me in support of the application, are not sufficient, iu my opinion, to warrant the belief that the testimony therein con tained would have led to a different verdict If it had been laid before the jury upon the trial of the pris- •. The interest of society requires that tLe laws enacted for the protection of the people against crime, should be enforced with promptness and certainty, and that the Executive should interpose only in cases where it is made clearly to appear that the cau*e of public justice will be advanced and not defeated by sneb interfer- i. This letter Is addressed to you as the Attorneys of O’Neal and I respectfully request that you commu nicate its contents to him without delay. • Yours respectfully, James M. Smith. Thus was closed the last possible hope. Nothing can dow save Belton O’Neal, and to-day’s suu is the last that will ever riso upon his mortal body. To-day at between eleven and three o’clock he will be hnng by the neck nntil he is dead. Well, it may be the best after all. But whatsoever onr sense of retributive justice may briug us to think of O’Neal himself, there is and can be nothing but genuine heart-feit pity in onr heart for tho pale, weary' eyed woman that innocent of crime must bear in her heritage of error and despair tbe heaviest part of the punishment. May God—the blessed Ruler—in bis infinite mercy give sure ease to her poor soul! How lie received tlie News-A visit to Iris cell at one o'clock. As soon as Colonel Alexander deliverid the Gover nor's letter to Colonel S. B. Spencer, lie set out for the jail in order to acquaint O'Neal with his final ac tion sealing his doom. Arriving there at one o’clock, he handed the following note to the Jailor, who tcred ihe jail, and after waking O’Neal, who • sleeping soundly, told him to strike a light, that ba had a note lor him. He struck a light sod received the note, of which the fol.owing is a copy: 12 O’clock m., Thursday Niuht. Dear O’Neal: The Governor declines to commute the sentence of death to imprisonment for life in penitentiary. The paper sealing your file handed me a few minutes ago by the Governor’s Secre tary, in which we, your attorneys, were requested to communicate tbe contents to you without delay. This I do, so that the short time yon have left may be devoted to your spiritual intersts. To a merciful God I commend yon. The Governor, I know, has douc- what hia convictions of duty requiro. None of us can blame him. Duty alone to the public controlled him, Having done all in my power to the last for you, I leave you now to your own reflections and a merciful God. Yours truly, After reading the note it was some minutes before he spoke when with a despondent voice he exclaimed, “It is all over with me, J ohn.” Yes. “I have done all in my power.” Yes. “My God, It is terrible.’ Yes. “And he refuses even to respite.” Yes, be leaves nothing bnt for the sentence of the law to be executed.” O merciful God,” then after a pause added “Ihtre is no other chance, is there?” ‘ None that 1 know of except to try to bear it as well as you Yon were sleeping sweetly and I am sorry I waked yon.” During the whole of this interview choking sobs could be heard from the prisoner.

One of the Participants Escapes Ou Saturday last a difficulty originated at Tayiuia- ville, in Bartow county, twelve miles from Cartcrsville, on the Cherokee railroad, which, before it waa termi nated, involved a number of persons. About three o'clock, p. if., three or four men cugaged in a quarrel, making demonstiationa, when Constable W. J. Sim- mervillo went up to them for tbe purpose of separat ing the parties. At this juncture, while talking to J. II. Walker, Tim ltobinson came np behind and struck Simmerviile a blow on the head. Walker then drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the calf of Simmerviile’s right leg, where it still remains The wouuded man is steadily improving, bist confined to his room. Walker was arrested and carried to Cartersville aud lodged in jail, but Las since been re leased ou giving bond, for bis appearance at the next term of the Superior Court. On Monday Robinson and five or six of his friends placed themselves ou the roadside, where young Frank Gilbert, with whom they bad the first difficulty on Saturday, would pas c , aud as soon as ho came along, Robinson set iu upon him with a stick. The contest was soon changed to a fisticuff between tho two, which resulted in the worsting of Robinson, at tbe hands of Gilbert. The timely arrival of some of Gilbert’s friends only prevented him from being roughly handled by those who had evidently accompanied R jbinson for that purpose. On Tuesday, all the parties w ho waylaid the road were arrested, except one who managed to eff«*t his escape on leg bail. Of tbose arrested, all but three have been set at liberty, aud the last named number held under bond* for their appearance at court, learn from a gentleman residing in tho community where it occurred, that the affair created intense citrraent, aud that the conduct of the parties who led young Gilbert, has aroused the indignation of the people of the whole section. The precise cause of the origin of the trouble, we did not ascertain, aud cannot therefore intelligibly pass upon the merits of the transaction, Tlu* Fair Association.
