The Atlanta Times has not come to hand

is dead or the paper has suspended.
Bridget Smith, of Atlanta, writes to the
Augusta Constitutionalist that she is culti-
nting her own garden this year.
We are informed that quite a heavy hail-
itorm occurred on Tuesday night at No. 5,
on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad. Large
quantities of hail fell, and it is feared that
considerable damage was done to crops in
that section, particularly to wheat and oats.
A. Alpeora Bradley is a candidate for Con

We received a call yesterday from Mr.
Martin Calvin, of Augusta, who is in attend

Everything combines to make thi3 a cen
tennial year. Augusta boasts that her canal
is run by water power.
Time is a great avenger. A Macon man
who “jawed” his wife because she wanted
him to get up to breakfast lost his balance
while putting on his pants and scraped all

Work is still progressing on the North

to within eighteen miles of Athens.
Eatonton still longs for railroad connec

The fruit crop of Northeast Georgia, par
ticularly apples, will be unusually abundant

Bev. A. P. Aslinrst, who is preachiDg in

Ihe Thomasville chain-gang captured the

Ken in Walton, Oconee, Clarke, MadisoD,
Harr, Franklin, Banks, Habersham and Hall

careful inuuiry are satisfied that the present
prospect of a heavy yield is unusually flatter

duced at this time of year, but have never
leva the stand so uniformly good and the
aret sown so large. Fall oats is also looking

Thomasville Enterprise: VfS learn from a

Stearns will be Curried weekly in the Live
Oak limes.
It is rumored that the Tallahassee cabal
are not altogether satisfied with Gamble’s
explanation ot Conover’s connection with
the $37,000, and that they propose to make
it lively for Simon on that issue in the com
ing campaign. A good deal can be said
about the missing scrip.
It seems to ns that there ought to be a
premium on colored witnesses at Fernan-
dina.
We trust Tom Long will take the field for
Stearns, though in the oourse of the cam
paign he should steer clear of Walls.
Speaking of Walls, we hear it rumored
that he will heap coals of fire upon the
skulls of McLin and Cheney and repay them
for their substantial aid in electing him to
his present seat in Congress by advocaiing
the re-election of Stearns. This would show
Walls to be a true friend of liberty and a warm
patriot.
What is to hinder the Democrats from
rnnDing John A. Henderson for Governor ?
Holland’s equity of redemption doesn’t
appear to have been a very important factor
in the recent legal scramble for the J., P.
and M. Railroad. At least we never heard
of it. We trust the Colonel will hold it to
scare Littlefield with when that worthy
takes hold again.
One of the most singular phases in Florida
politics is the willingness with which McLin
allows Stearns to use him. If brains count
for anything among the Radicals, McLin
ought to be nominated for Governor instead
of Stearns.
We don’t see why the Conover organs
should harp on the fact that Stearns wanted
to sell out to the Democrats some time ago.
Simon has had similar aspirations; and we
have no donbt that an influential Democrat
with a healthy purse could buy out either of
them to-morrow.
Cheney treats politics very gingerly of
late. He evidently thinks a crisis is at
hand.
How would R. B. Hilton do for Governor ?
He is a good lawyer and & good Demo
crat.
i Brother McCallnm, of the Jacksonville
| Press, is sensitive even to soreness. He al
ludes to our pleasantries as “ discourteous
and mean.” If our brother continues to
suspect us of such nnthonght of motives as
discourtesy and the like we shall have to get
np an investigation committee to clear us of
the charges.

StearnB is going around holding conven

droming around in the absence of his friend
Pnrman ?
The Jacksonville Press says: “We want to
have our opinion occasionally.” Bless you,
brother McCallnm, you shall have your opin
ion. We shall insist upon it, not only be
cause it is simple justice, but because your
opinions are generally good opinions. At
the same time, dear brother, we will not
allow you, unrebuked, to charge that our
paragraphs relating to you are abusive,
discourteous and mean.

The delegates to the Radical convention,

The old split between the Radicals of
Leon county has been renewed. This hap
pened right under the eye of McLin and
his Soap-Fat man.
The Jacksonville Press challenges the
Union to compare the circulations of the
two papers.
Palatka Uerald: We are informed that
the water in the Ocklawaha river is rapidly
falling. It is feared that in a short while
the steamers will not be able to run up as
far as Silver Spring. Until the present year
they could navigate as far as Leesburg, on
the upper lakes. If it were not for the rail
road that is being built we do not know
what would become of the many orange
groves that are coming on and those that
have already come to maturity. The de
crease in the waters of this river is attributa
ble to the small amount of ram fall that we
have experienced in the past few years.
The steamers not running the whole route,
has been a great inconvenience to the Bet-
tiers, who have to haul their produce miles
to some shipping point.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, May 3.—Gov. Henry Wise,
of Virginia, appeared before the Elections
Committee of the House in behalf of Platte,
in the case of Platte vi. Goode. The Gov
ernor is pale and thin, and required a little
assistance up and down the stairs, bnt re
tains his positive manner of statement, dic
tatorial assertion and erect figure. His ap
pearance had been announced and attracted
many of his friends to the committee room.
He continues his argument to-morrow.
In the Committee on the Pacific liailro&d,
Throckmorton amended the bill extending

him & greater service than has been done by
giving him this opportunity of ventilating

His accounts show no personal rascalities
and the illegal use of the money in the
emergency, it is claimed, will be approved
by the Northern people.
ENQLI8H NOTES.
London, May 3.—The eight members of
the crew of the ship Lennie, charged with
mutiny and murder on that vessel, were ar
raigned to-day, and pleaded not guilty. The
trial is now progressing.
In the House ot .Commons to-morrow, Mr.
Gouerly, Liberal, will ask Attorney General
Holker* if the United States has pro
tested against the action of the British
Government concerning Winslow, and, if so,
whether America’s demands are in har
mony with or contrary to the provisions of
the treaties of 1842 and 1870. He will also
question the Attorney General as to what
coarse he will advise the government to
adopt for the purpose of upholding or alter
ing existing treaties. Mr. Puleston, Con
servative member from Devanport, will ask
to- morrow for the papers on the same
subject.
THE METHODISTS.
Baltimore, May 3.—The General Confer
ence reassembled at the regular hour this
morning, Bishop Simpson presiding. The
usual religious services were conducted by
Rev. L. C. Mattack, of the Wilmington Con
ference. Upon the call of the roll of ab
sentees an additional number of delegates
reported, after which the minutes of yester
day’s proceedings were read and approved.
The report of tho Committee on Rules was
then taken up and each rule acted upon
seriatim, which has consumed the entire
morning session up to noon without being
concluded.
EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS.
London, May 3.—A special dispatch to
the Earning standard, from Alexandria, says
the Court of Appeal has adjudged that the
Daira property, which is the Khedive’s pri
vate estate, is'liable to execution.
The same dispatch states that Mr. Rivers
Wilson returns to England, but does not
give any reason therefor. If this statement
be correct, the cause undoubtedly is the ac
ceptance by Egypt of the French financial
scheme, against some of the details of
which it has been previously reported Mr.
Wilson protested.
ROBESON AND BRADFORD.
Washington, May 3.—The Naval Commit
tee, by letter to Secretary Robeson, request
the immediate recall of Paymaster Brad
ford, who has been purchasing agent at
London. The committee desire to examine
Bradford. There is evidence before the
committee regarding Bradford which makeB
it improper that he should continue iu the
position. Contractor Mathews, who paid
$140,000 to the Cattels for the influence of
the Navy Department, did so at Bradford’s
suggestion.
- VOTING AND FIGHTING.
Indianapolis, May 3.—The Democrats
have carried the city by 4,000 majority, and
elect eleven of the thirteen Councilmen.
After minor disturbances during the dav, a
serious tight occurred, lasting twenty min
utes, in which pistols, clubs and bricks were
freely used. One negro was killed, and two
probably mortally wounded. There are
eight wounded at the Surgical Institute,
and several whites and blacks taken to their
homes.
FIRE.
New York, May 3.—The fire last night in
building Nos. 178 and 180 Pearl street, be
longing to Stevens & Tate, damaged the
stock of Straton & Storms, tobacco and
cigar merchants, $3,000; D. Rosenbery &
Son, tobacco merchants, $15,000, and the
building $20,000. Several other occupants
sustained small losses.
THE CENTENNIAL.
Philadelphia, May 3.—It is now esti
mated that nine-tenths of all the exhibits
for the Centennial exhibition are in place
in the different departments, and that the
schedule will be completed in the next few
days. The Cornish engine in Machinery
Hall has been in successful operation for
the past two days.
soldiers’ bazar.
Havana, May 3.—The Casino Espanol
opened a grand bazar for the benefit of the
soldiers crippled by the war in Cuba. The
value of the objects contributed to the fair
is estimated at $150,000.
Centennial Vampires—A Warning to
the Innocents who will Visit Phila
delphia.
Our friends from the interior, coming
up next month to the Centennial, must
expect to find many salient points in the
exhibition of which no hint has been
given them in the programme, or even in
newspaper reports. Where the prey is,
there will the vultures be gathered to
gether; and even at this early date, Phila
delphia is the eentral point toward which
not only pick-pockets and ruffians of the
baser sort are bending their steps, but
the higher class of confidence men and
women, that happy-go-lucky, audacious,
intelligent gang who hover on the con
fines of society, like robber-crabs, living
on their wits and the stupidity of other
people. The World’s Exhibitions in ether
countries have always attracted these pro
fessional free-booters, and they appear
to be especially sanguine of success in
this country, where money is supposed
to be plenty and innocence unsuspicious.
Strange women in foreign attire already
puzzle the eyes of sober Quakers; the
London detectives, who arrived last week,
declare that 4hey meet as many faces fa
miliar to their Rogues’ Gallery in Chest -
nut street, as they would in the Strand.
The neighborhood of the Centennial
buildings is set with every inducement
to vice ; private houses are besieged by
new varieties of shameless beggars. As
the crowd increases, the temptation and
chances of plunder will attract more of
these outlaws. We warn our country-
friends that they will need to sharpen
their wits for other purposes than,that of
sight-seeing.—New York Tribune.
Evening Telegrams.
Bergen, Hew Jersey, has a sensation of
the Enoch Arden order, but with an in
teresting variation. A printer in 1866
went to Missouri to look after some busi
ness, leaving his wife and two children
behind. He went to Hew Orleans from
St. Louis, but, being fleeced on the boat
by gamblers, remained in the former city
and worked at his trade for two years. In
the meantime he had written to his wife
to let her know he was alive, but, accord
ing to tha story, was ashamed to return
to her, whioh was no wonder, consider
ing his treatment of her. He went to
Colorado, made a fortune, and, having re
ceived no answers to his letters, went to
Europe. On Saturday last he returned to
Hew York, found that his wife, believing
him dead, had married again but had lost
her second husband. She was therefore
ready for Ho. 1, and the friends of the
family commemorated the reunion by a
grand dinner party. All’s well that rads
well.— Washington Star.

Iu the Senate, the House bill transferring
$16,000 to maintain a light house service on
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers passed.
Dorsey presented the petition of the set
tlers on the Hot Springs reservation for
such legislation as will enable them to per
fect tbeir titles. Referred to the Public
Lauds Committee.
Ihe Committee on Claims reported favor
ably on the House bill making an appro
priation for the payment of claims reported
to Congress under section two of the act
approved June 16, 1874, by the Secretary of
the Treasury. Placed on the calendar.
The Committee on Indian Affairs reported
adversely on the bill giving the Little Rock
and Fort Smith Railroad a right of way
through Iudiau Territory to a point oppo
site the town of Fort Smith. Indefinitely
postponed.
Morton sent to the Clerk’s desk and had
read a special dispatch from Washington
on April 28th to tho New York World in re
gard to $250,000 received by him from tile
general government while he was Governor
of Indiana ont of the appropriation of
$2,000,000 to pay the expenses of transport
ing and delivery of arms, etc., to loyal citizen s
m the States in rebellion. In opening
his explanation Morton said; “The Presi
dent of the United States in the Bpring
of 1863 advanced to mo $250,000 to
enable me to carry forward military ope
rations in the State of Indiana. Of this
sum I expended $133,302 91 in the service of
the State, and with which I charged the
State, in my settlement with it, and the re
maining $116,697 09 were not expended.
This amount I returned to the Treasury of
the United States, as is shown by tho
voucher aud receipt. The $133,302 91
which I bad expended on behalf
of the State were paid back to the govern
ment by giving the government credit for
that amount upon advances which had been
made by the State in the conduct of the war,
which advances were duly audited by the
Treasury Department and allowed as just
and valid claims against the government in
iavor of the State.”
He then reviewed the political and mili
tary situation in 1862, and concludes: “Ait«r
a careful review of the situation by the
President, Mr. Lincoln, aud the Secretary
of War, Mr. Stanton, tho President ad
vanced me the sum of $250,000. They both
agreed that Indiana was threatened with re
bellion, and that the condition of the State
came directly within the letter and spirit of
the act of Congress approved July 3, 1861.
Mr. Stanton declared to the President, with
great emphasis, that if Indiana lost her
position as a loyal State, tho final success of
the government in suppressing the rebellion
would be endangered, and that the govern
ment must be sustained at whatever coat or
hazard,”
McDonald, of Indiana, said that at some
future time, with the permission of the Sen
ate, he would have something to say of the
political history of Indiana. He had nothing
to say of his colleague vindicating his owu
character, but differed widely from him aa
to tho political history of the State.
Morton said he desired to exculpate his
colleague (McDonald) from any complicity
in the conspiracy which he (Morton) had
referred to.

had been corroborated iu some respects by
documents received from Europe, and it is
also shown that tho memory of Parke and
Scheuck has been a little faulty. Lyon was
recalled aud said he saw the original letter
of resignation of Schonck as a director of
the Emma mine. At least it so pur
ported to be. There was no reference
in it to the mine or shares. It
only said he resigned because
he did not want to give his political enemies
an opportunity to criticise his conduct.
Parke said to witness, “I don’t like this let
ter, and I am goiog to have a better one
from Schenck.” The impression of witness
was that Parke wrote the letter of resigna
tion, and that Schenck copied it from
Parke’s manuscript. He saw the second
letter two days afterward. He said he bad
told Parke "and Schenck repeatedly that
this thing would end in n national ca
lamity. He read two articles from
mining journal bulling the Emma mine.
Parke said he had paid five hundred pounds
to have each printed. Hiram E. Johnson,
Mr. Lyon’s attorney, then took the stand
and made a statement corroborating the
main facts stated by Lyon.
JOHN J. KELLY VS. THE UNITED STATES.
Washington, May 3.—In the Alabama
Claims Court the ease of Cadw&llader D. O.
Rind, executor of John J. Kelly, vs. the
Unite States, for one-sixteenth ofjtho bark
Lamp Lighter (8,000) was argued. Er-
Governor Wills for claimant, showed that
Kelly was born iu New York, bnt dur
ing the rebellion lived iu Savannah, Ga.
He bad not served in the rebellion
by reason of a medical certificate of inabil
ity, and that for wbat sympathy he had had
for the rebellion he was twice pardoned, and
argued that he now stands, and is to be con
sidered in law, as if be bad borne true alle
giance to tho United States, wherefore he
can aver in legal intentment that he
has at all times borne true
allegiance to the United States. Gen.
Cresswell, for the government, held that the
allegation of allegiance during tne rebellion
and necessary proof in support thereof were
jurisdictional facts without which no claim
could be admitted or allowed by the .court.
He based thiB upon the 12th section of the
act. The opinion of the court generally
sustains the position taken by Geu. Creis-
well and dismisses the case.
TBIAL OF ALLEOED HUBDEBEBS.
Pottsville, May 3.—The trial of the al
leged murderers of policeman Yost will com
mence to-jaorrow. There is much excite
ment, partly owing to the fact that one of

his confession last winter, exposed the
secret operations of the Molly Maguires,
and an additional police force has been ap
pointed to guard tho jail. Hon. Daniel
Dougherty, of Philadelphia, and other emi

protection of the militia. The old strikers
still declare they will never go to work at
the reduced rates.
THE GREEN-EYED.
Chicago, May 3.—Anthony Ghering, a

He had been married eight months. He

Centennial Hotel Charges.
[Philadelphia Letter to Chicago Tribune.)
I have taken the pains to visit more
than fifty boarding-houses and hotels
within ten blocks of the Press office, and
the result of my search is that in such
houses as advertise this way, “Nicely
furnished rooms, heat, gas and bath, at
moderate rates,” not a room can be had
after May 1 for less than $12 or $15 per
week. If you want a room now the
owner makes the condition that after
that date you will submit to the “raise”
or vacate. You can get them for the
present for $5 per week. People who
room here can get table board for $5, $6,
and $10 per week. At four of the second-
rate hotels new paper has been put on
the walls, a brass knocker on the door,
and English porter engaged, and prices
are placarded thns;
* On and after May f boarders will have to":
; pay $12 per week, or vacate their rooms. :
J. S. T., Prop. :
A clean raise of $5 per week on “grub,”
bought after the regular customers at
market are served. Five and six dollars
a day will be the price at all first-class
hotels. At those advertised as first-class
near the grounds—the Globe, for in
stance—board will be straight $5. And
it would be dear at seventy-five cents,
considering the risk. It is actually crim
inal to build such a house for people to
lodge in—nothing but a vast pile of dry
pine kindling wood, plastered on the
outside. Putty, paint and plaster hide
all defects. During the recent hard rains
half the daub on the outside was washed
off, and the porch is anything but invit
ing. Perhaps Forney’s Press will deny
this. Perhaps the Press will deny that a
few months since it endeavored to get ac
tual figures from all hotel-keepers as to
charges, and failed—meaning, of course,
that these gentlemen would charge what
ever they saw fit. Why not tell the truth?
Charges will be made just as great as the
people will submit to and stay. It is said
that owing to the stinginess of the coun
cil, the water supply is likely to fail this
summer, especially if a drought prevails.
The water supply is meagre—far too mea
gre for a city like this; what will it be
when hundreds of thousands are added
to this population ? And, still worse, a
professor of something says that epidem
ics almost always follow throat and lung
diseases, suoh as are now prevailing. Half
the city is on the cough, aud the other
half is swathed in red flannel. Between
the charges, the want of water and an
epidemic of some sort, the visitors will
have a tough time of it.
The Philadelphia Press must know that
if there is any prosperity in the South it
has come to us not in consequence, but
in spite, of the legislation of the Repub
lican party. If the negroes have not de
stroyed all of our property and made our
native States too hot to hold us, it is not
because the Republican majority in Con
gress did not do all they could to bring
about this state of things. The Ku-Klux
acts, the enforcement acts, and the recon
struction acts, stand upon the statute
books as enduring memorials of Radical
malignity, cowardice, and narrow
mindedness. They testify that the party
which a four-years’ war had cast up to
the surface, and which returning peace
found in power, was made up princi
pally of fanatics and knaves. Not a states
man has made his appearance amongst
them. If there had been in power when the
war closed an administration of states
men, the South would to-day have been
the most prosperous community in the
world, and the Northern States, instead
of being overrun by paupers and tramps,
and in a condition of constant apprehen
sion of panics and failures, would have
been sharing our prosperty. The miser
able fanatics and designing knaves, how
ever—the “cankers of a long” war—had
it all their own way. Statesmen and
statesmanship belong not to the party
that has brought ruin and disgrac# upon
this onoe favored land.—Richmond Dis -
patch.
Public Morality. — Letters from
Washington, descriptive ot society life in
that gay capital, give luxuriant accounts
cf extravagant receptions and other fash
ionable mummery. They have a strong
flavor of monarchial customs, and are, as
far as possible, removed from Republican
ideas of simplicity. Indeed, the wild
talk of a “third term” makes one donbt
whether we have not already bidden
faiewell to the Republic. An idea,
too, has gone forth that it is mag
nanimous for a great nation to pass over
grave effenses in criminals holding high
positions. Is this so ? Have we any right
to pardon national offenses ? Does not
public safety demand a different pro
cedure ?' How is it in the Divine Gov
ernment ? Do we not find penalty fol
lowing sia, and sternly enforced ? Nay,
though a God of Love, the prodigal, re
turning, is only forgiveh because of the
awful sacrifice and atonement on the
cross. Cowardice, weakness, and a low
state of public morality lie at the founda
tion of all this laxity of sentiment.—At

DIAGRAM OF APPURTENAN0E8.
The desperate exertions inaugurated in
certain quarters for the purpose of preju
dicing the case of the defendant, Harney
Richard, and the questionable practices
adopted m the matter of instigating negroes
to swear falsely, will be readily apprehended
when the statement is made that the ac
knowledged rendezvous for the hired black
rascals has been the office of the
Collector of Customs (one E. C. Grosman)
for the district of Fernandina, and that
the negroes have admitted in their testi
mony that it was to this resort that they re
paired for instructions in their execrable
vassalage. The fact has also been elicited
that nearly all of the witnesses for the
persecution were the associates of the nig
ger perjurer, Amos Robinson, and it would
not be at all surprising if the defense shall
succeed ere the termination the proceedings
in proving that this diabolical wretch
has been guilty of subornation of perjury
even to the satisfaction of the nnreasoning
reptiles who have been engaged in engineer
ing the plot to sacrifice an innocent man
and sequestrate a two thousand dollar re
ward.
THE EIGHTH DAY.
The emissaries of the invisible conspira
tors pursued their bent on Monday with
their usual pertinacity, and indulged in a
frequent repetition of their tawdry fashion
of cross-examining witnesses. The former
Attorney General of the State and present
associate counsel for the prosecution does
not let himself ont often, but appears to
be ruminating sempiternally upon the
trick that Swepson played him by
promising him fifty thousand dollars for a
certain vote only to give him five thousand,
and the victimized genius seems desirous
of relinquishing the active part of the tra-
vestie to Fatty Patty and Uncle Tad. They
commenced operations this morning by re
calling Geo. A. Clark as their witness and
ascertained that he was a nephew of the
defendant. Then the defense suggested
that as Plato Facio was in town the other
side had better introduce him at once
and get through with him iBstauter.
Tbe prosecution evinced annnacconntable
reluctance in the premises, bnt finally called
PLAYTO TAYSHO, FAUGHSHOW,
or Facio, the blackest nigger in every re
spect that eye hath ever seen, and had him
sworn. Plato is a regular Btuttering mag
pie, and perspired freely durrng the ordeal,
smelling meanwhile between a heavy
draught. He said that he knew that Dr.
Johnson was killed some time in July last.
Plato was at Hart’s road then cutting wood
for Mr. Farmer. Had seen Harney Richard
in Alachua county on je about two years ago,
and saw him next on that day at Hart’s road.
Then the nigger Facio identified the de
fendant as the stranger that he had recog
nized at Hart’s road while he (Faughshow),
in company with Lawrence Gadsden, was
going to grind his axe. He swore that he
saw defendant thrice on the 21st of July,
aud on the cross-examination by tbe defense
stated that the office occupied by Dr. Brown
was on the opposite side of the railroad from
Farmer’s house. (Dr. Brown, iu his testi
mony, said that it was in Farmer’s house.)
Facie went on to say that he had been sum
monsed to the preliminary investigation at
Jacksonville, but denied "positively that ho
hid ever spoken to anybody about the case
before going to Jacksonville or at any other
time, but became so thoroughly disconcerted
by his own brazeuness that he immediately
acknowledged to having conversed with Mr".
Wm. A. Mahoney, at Callaban, and to hav
ing then sod there asserted that he knew
the Richards well, and that neither of them
was the man he saw at Hart’s road. Facio
tried to reconcile these conflicting state
ments by inventing more lies, but bluD-
dered aud stammered and oozed and
stumbled so fearfully iu the attempt
that he had to jerk the chair in
order to catch his breath. In trying to
extricate himself he became more deeply
entangled, eventually referring to another
party (McMurray), whom he had spoken to.
He then testified that he had seen Mr. Jolio
C. Richard, at Starke, from about the middle
of She war to the end thereof. In fact,
saw him often going to his house during
that period. (It will be remembered that
Captain Richard was in Virginia at the
time tbe dishonest nigger swearB he saw
him.) Plato Facio, on the re-direct, w&s
equally imprudent, aud set himself np as a
partner of AmoB Robinson’s. Even Fatty
Patty heaved a sigh of excruciating relief
when Plato affixed his cross-mark and
evanesced.
THOMAS C. CARROLL
was then introduced by defence, and testi
fied that he saw Harney Richard at Keno,
in Columbia connty, on the 21st day of July,
1875. Witness here referred to some cir
cumstances which enabled him to remember
the precise date, and swore positively that
he saw the defendant at Keno on the 21st
of Jnly last. Id addition to Mr. Carroll, the
defence put forward the following gentle
men:
BAIFOBD DAVIS, SWORN,
says that he saw Harney Richard, the de
fendant, in company with several others, at
Live Oak Pond on the 21st day of Jnly, 1875,
positively. Has known defendant about
twenty-two years. Witness recurred to va
rious matters that enabled him to remember
tbe exact date, and swore positively again
that he saw Harney Richard on tbe day
mentioned at the point designated in Ala
chua connty.
w. T. WEEKS
testifies that he saw Harney Richard at
Keno, in Columbia county, on the 21st of
July, 1875. “1 am positive that I saw him
on that day there.’’ Mr. Weeks here related
the means by which he bad refreshed his
memory. He had, for one thing, been at
Lake City to telegraph au order to Sa
vannah on the 20th of Jnly, and on
retnrniDg to Keno on tbe 21st h6
met the defendant. Remembera particu
larly,because tbe bill for order to Savannah
bears date of the 21st of July, 1875.
GEO. M. WHETSTONE
says, “ I saw Harney Richard, the defend
ant, at Keno on the 21st day of July, 1875.
I live at Mikesville and do business at Keno,
where I have a saw-mill, rice-mill, store,
etc. I swear positively that I saw Harney
Richard at Keno on the 21st of July last;
I sold him some corn. On the day before,
which was the 20tb, the Tax Assessor was
at Mikesville. Can refresh my memory
from book of original entry that it was the
21st day of July ; I cannot be mistaken.”
JOB T. RICHARD
is a brother of the defendant. Is positive
that he saw Harney Richard at Live Oak
Pond on the 21st day of July, 1875, at about
sunset. Mr. Richard in other particulars
corroborates substantially the evidence of
Mr. Davis, Mr. Clark and others, and con
firms the testimony of Captain John C.
Richard relative to Harney Richard’s ab
sence from Florida during aud prior to the
war.
JACOB J. BUNCH
recollects giving in his taxes at Tnskenoga
on the 21st day of July last. Knows Har
ney Richard, the defendant in this case, and
b&w him at Keno on that day. Mr. Ranch
went from Tuskenoga to Keno. “I remem
ber meeting my brother about one mile
from Keno, and he said that if I would go
there with him he would return with me. I
swear positively that I saw Harney Richard
on the 21st day oL July, 1875, at Keno.”
Mr. Bnuch also corroborates the evidence oi
Mr. Robert C. Martin, concerning the move
ments of the Tax Assessors. Defense again
called Mr. Job T. Richard to make inquiries
in respect to Harney Richard’s whereabouts
before and during the war.
WILLIAM A. MAHONEY
was next introduced, and bis testimony
completely shattered the nigger, Plato
Facio. Mr. Mahoney stated that Facio had
informed him voluntarily at Callahan, while
en ronte to Jacksonville, that he, Plato,
knew all the Richards, and that one of them
bad been arrested as the man who was st
Hart’s road. Plato had then langbed deri
sively, and denounced the orreBt as sheer
foolishness, and s&id that no one of the
Richards had killed Johnson. Mr. Maho
ney’s evidence in other particulars also com
pletely demolishes tbe perjnred viper, Plato
Facio, but such a proceeding is absolutely
unnecessary, as no twelve meo in tbe world
would attach any credence to the mechani
cal moutbings and empty twaddle of Buch a
reeking slave, who carries his eharaoter
upon his conntenance.
THE CONCLUSION STILL APPROACHING.
The evidence of the various witnesses is
presented in a condensed form, the object
being to convey an impartial impression of
its main features compendiously and con
veniently. The conrt adjourned until this
morning, yesterday at 6:30, after having
had the usual recesses daring the day.

[From the Augusta Chronicle.]
The following circular has been circu
lated mysteriously from hand to hand in
Augusta. A gentledhn who finally suc
ceeded iu getting hold of a copy has
handed it to us for publication. Here
it is:
CONFIDENTIAL.
In view of the intolerant, persistent, ag
gressive efforts of Romanists, their avowed
determination to subvert the government of
the United States and to destroy our civil
and religious liberty, I desire to submit to
you the following questions:
1. Do you protest against Rome from prin
ciple and lrom choice ?
2. Are you in favor of preserving consti
tutional liberty and maintaining the gov
ernment of the"United States?
3. Do yon regard Romanism as the enemy
of civil and religious liberty ?
4. Is it not, in vonr opinion, nnwise and
unsafe to appoint to civil, political or mili
tary office, in this country, men who owe
allegiauoe to the Pope of Rome, and who
have sworn to obey him ?
5. Are you in favor of maintaining the
principles of one general nnsectarian free
school organization?
6. Are yon opposed to all attempts to use
the public funds for any sectarian purposes
whatever ?
7. Are you in favor of patting into office
honest and true patriots, who are best quali
fied to fill the positions, regardless of politi
cal parties?
8. Are you willing to be governed by these
principles in your future political actions ?
9. Are you willing to unite with others
who hold these principles, aud henceforth
devote vonrself and your sacred honor to
the protection and perpetuation of civil and
religious liberty, aud this great American
Union?
We repeat now what we have often said
before : The Chronicle and Sentinel is not
the organ of any nationality or of any
creed. Its proprietors publish a secular
and not a religious newspaper. We have
nothing to do with and we care nothing
for the creeds of men. So long as a man
is a good citizen, is truthful, just and
honorable, we care not whether he be
Turk, Jew, Episcopalian, Methodist,
Presbyterian, Baptist or Catholic. We
are informed that efforts are being made
to organize secret lodges in Augusta for
the purpose of carrying out the principles
embodied in this confidential circular.
We hope, as we believe, that these efforts
will prove unavailing. We shall oppose an
anti-Catholic as we should oppose an anti-
Methodist, an anti-Baptist, or an anti-
Presbyterian League. This is a country
of religious freedom, aBd we do not see
why one religious sect should be pro
scribed more than another. During the
late war, when - the South was vainly
struggling for independence and for po
litical liberty, Catholics were expected to
fight, and did fight as bravely and as per
sistently as any Protestant that bore arms
in defense of the “Lost Cause.” When
taxes are to be paid and the burdens of
government to be shouldered, Catholics
are expected to contribute as largely and
as liberally as Protestants. When the
reign of the thieving carpet-baggers and
scalawags was to be overthrown in Geor
gia and in the South, the Catholic was
Sways found aiding the cause of good
government and political freedom. Why,
then, should any honest man seek to os
tracise a good citizen aud a true patriot
because of his religious belief?
The gist of the anti-Catholic League is
to be found in the seventh question con
tained iu this “confidential” circular:
“Are you in Javor of putting into office
honest and true patriots, who are best
qualified to fill the positions, reoabdless
of political parties ?" This is the miik
in the cocoanut. The anti-Catholic
League is simply an anti-Deinocratic
League, and those who join it will assist
in putting Radical carpet-baggers and
scalawags into office, and in restoring
robber rule to Georgia. The issue is
plain, and not to be mistaken. General
Grant’s DesMoines speech aud the “con
fidential” circular of the anti-Catholic
League are on exactly the same line.
Romance of a Widow’s Life,
Among the death notices printed in the
New York papers last week was that of a
middle-aged Englishman who had only re
sided in this country about six months.
His history is linked to that of a charm
ing widow, well known in society, whose
grief at his loss is well-nigh insupport
able, or would be but for one circum
stance. About eighteen months ago the
widow, who by the way was the wife of a
deceased wholesale grocery merchant,
made a tour of Europe in company with
the family of an Eastern railroad king.
Her own fortune consisted,of the income
from her husband’s estate, which she ac
cepted in lieu of dower, coupled with tho
condition that the estate should go direct
to an only son—a lad about twelve years
old—in case she married a second time.
Ob this European trip she met the Eng
lish gentleman mentioned. It is the old,
old story. He wooed and won her, but
she stipulated that they must reside after
marriage in America. He consented, sold
out his business in England, and re
moved to America last November. It
was arranged the marriage was to take
place the next month, but in January the
man was taken sick with typhoid fever,
and continued very il^ for several weeks.
He went to Florida and found temporary
relief. About three weeks ago he re
turned, but an imprudent exposure
brought on a relapse, and last week he
died. In his later sickness he was at
tended by his affectionate wife with all
the tenderness and care possible. She
had given her heart to him so completely
that his death gave her a terrible shock.
For several days she has been lying very
ill herself, and it was not until yesterday
that her relatives indulged in hopes of
her recovery. The salve which awaits
her wounded heart when she fully re
covers is a bank-balance at Brown
Br jibors’ amounting to nearly $50,000 in
money, bequeathed to her by the deceased
in a will regularly drawn and witnessed,
and about which she is as yet iu total
ignorance. This information is derived
from the lawyer who drew the will, and
to whom the deceased communicated the
whole of the story herein briefly out
lined.
Lynching Horse Thieves in Colo
rado.—The Pueblo (CoL) Chieftain gives
the particulars of the lynching of two
horse thieves near Dodge City, on the
Atchison,JTopeka and Santa Fe Railroad,
recently. The two men were taken by a
mob to a patch of woods on Saw-Log
creek. They were blindfolded, their
arms pinioned, and placed in the centre
of a circle. Then one of the “vigilants”
pulled a Testament from one pocket and
a bottle of whisky from the other, and
exclaiming, “Here, boys, is peace for the
dead and consolation for the living,” pro
ceeded to read a chapter, while the bottle
was passed from mouth to mouth until
its contents were exhausted. At tbe con
clusion of this interesting ceremony, the
thieves were stretched up to the limb of
a cotton wood tree, face to face, their feet
almost touching the gTound. Both were
buried on the spot in a shallow trench,
and then the avengers returned to town,
well satisfied with their day’s work. The
names of the unfortunates are Cole and
Callahan. The father of the latter is a
minister at Topeka.
Moral Progress in New England.—
The laxity of parental control over the
youth of this generation, with its attend
ant dangers, is startlingly illustrated in
the case of the two boys McKickle and
Burnap, who have just been sentenced to
two years in the State prison for setting
fire to a building in Norwich. The evi
dence revealed that both boys were mem
bers of a secret “clnb” of some kind, and
that they had associations which would
indicate that they were depraved beyond
their years. Their parents, who are
respectable people, knew nothing of the
club in question, nor of other dangerous
alliances which their sons had formed,
a3d when the actual facts were told they
were overwhelmed with astonishment as
well as grief.—New Haven Register.

ability of the people to furnish employ
ment to the negro population is. exerting
a marked and deplorable effect on the
pnblio morals. Laroenies are multiply
ing greatly, and penitentiary oonviota
are numerous beyond all precedent—re
sulting in considerable part, aa la claimed,
from the impossibility of procuring food
by honest labor.
The negroes say they oannot starve
while there is food in the oountry for
anybody, and if sent to the chain-gang
for theft they are at least sure of subsist
ence. Even in Macon it is said there are
many negro men willing to work formers
food supplies, and nnable to procure them
on those terms.
This is a deplorable state of things in a
country which should teem with good,
wholesome food under even a moderate
and imperfect application of labor. In
Georgia the well directed agricultural
labor of one industrious man should fur
nish food for ten or a dozen or more of
the population as they ran, and yet we
hear of people suffering for food. It is
stated that very many of even the white
people are getting along without meat,
and wholly unable to subsist a farming
force.
Snch is the pitiable condition. This
is the cotton mania in its last analysis—
for it cannot do worse than starve the
people. We have come down at last to
“hard pan”—the naked issue—“root hog
or die; ” and this with millions of fertile
and uncultivated acres and agricultural
resources capable, if wisely employed, of
filling the land with an overflowing abun
dance of the choicest food.
There can be but one cure, and that is
in honest farm labor. Having discovered
to our sorrow that we cannot buy food
and bring it thousands of miles with the
proceeds of our cotton crop, we must
cease the folly aud from henceforth ap
ply ourselves heartily to food production,
and learn that first principle in domestic
economy—that wealth is to be acquired
by reducing expenditures.
Moths in the Government.
A great many moths have crept into
tho civil service of the government. They
have eaten holes through Indian blank
ets, soldiers’ clothing, and a good many
have bored into the Treasury. The moths
have been numerous of late years, and
the people have suffered. Somebody
contrived a plan to kill them. It was to
sprinkle a powder on their heads, as the
old woman u6ed to catch larks by putting
salt on their tails. It was a “moth" con
trivance, and the remedy was related to
the insect itself. It has eaten into the
Treasury, through one firm, to the
amount of $403,875. How much more
of the people's money has been destroyed
by this moth destroyer we are not in
formed, but presume the entire damage
goes into the millions. Before a Con
gressional committee the following testi
mony was given with regard to payments
of public money in aid of the “moth
destroyer:”
Hamilton G. Fant testified that the firm
of Fant, Washington & Co. were bankers
in Washington, and financial agents of
Geo. A. Cowles & Co. during the time
they held the contract to kill moths. The
amounts received and disbursed by him
for Cowles A Co. were as follows:
Received lrom tho army, navy and ordi
nance offices $403,875. This was distributed
as follows:

Commissions of Fant 3,998 00

The profits on the business were about
$300,000, according to the division. Wit

this money was distributed.—Hartford
