Correction.
In our notice of the closing exercises
of the Houghton Institute, yesterday,
we stated that Master William H.
Smith had been awarded the prize, in
the Boy’s Grammar Department, “for
Proficiency, Punctuality and general
good conduct,” whereas Master Wil
liam 11. Stubbs was the successful
contestant. We beg pardon for the
mistake.
DiMrcHNing.
The President of the Bibb- County
Orphan’s Home Society announces the
shameful fact that they have no funds
with which to purchase even a scanty
subsistence for the lettmteen orphans
under their care, and asks : “Shall
they (tb.e poor orphans) be fed,
clothed and kept warm through the
winter? or must they be told to
‘shift’ for themselves ? Individual
answers expected.”
Georgia to be Keiuauded I
It will be seen by reference to our
telegraphic column, that it is confi
dently asserted that Judge Edmund’s
bill, repealing the Act of the 25th of
June, admitting Georgia to represen
tation in the National Congress, will
pass soon after the holiday recess, and
THAT THE STATE GOVERN
MENT WILL BE CONTINUED AS

The popular Troupe of Stone <fc

to-day for two performances, afternoon

graceful and daring feats of horse

human body, or comicalities that
would honor Momus himself, we say
go—you will see this, and at a low
figure for cash.
All for a Cow.
Yesterday morning Justice Phixizy
was applied to by anover anxious and
ill informed colored man for a search
warrant, to secure a cow which he had
lost last August. He did not know
of her whereabouts, but wanted a
Constable, armed with a search war
rant, to go and look for her. Constable
Anthony would not take the job.

—The Church Monthly, an organ of

CoHnterfeit Money.
This Court convened yesterday
morning. Comtnisstoncr J. R. Davis
presiding, and W. G Di< kson, U. 8.
1 Marshal, in attendance.
n I Hie Court was convened to make an
examination of Isaac Williams for
passing and having in his ]»ossession
counterfeit money, with a view to his
• commitment for trial by the U. S.
District Court at Savannah.
McAnany, arrested here as the ac
complice of Williams, appeared as
- evidence in the case.
Chief of Police, Christian, with
drew the first warrant of arrest, when
• Marshal Dickson immediately’
rested Williams, in behalf of the
Government.
> A. D. Picquet, Esq., appeared for
’ the defence. Bills passed by Wil
liams and McAnany in this city were
f., . J
introduced in Court.
We give the evidence as elicited
from the various witnesses examined:
, A. C. BEAN, SWORN.
Am acquainted with genuine bills; pro
nounce this bill counterfeit, not spurious: it
• is on a good, sound bank; cannot swear that
I have seen a genuine bill of St. Nicholas
National Bank of New York, of the denom
j ination of $2; am certain that I have seen
other bills on this bank, and of the existence
of the bank; National Bank notes were
issued some time within live or six years
past; (date of this bill read, July Ist. 1868 ;i
, to the best of my knowledge and belief this
bank existed at that time—cannot swear it
! did. All $2 notes of National Banks ore
from same plate; the bank does not engrave
those bills; is not a genuine plate from
which this bill is printed; in genuine bill,
I the words “on demand” are nearer right
hand end of bill, generally; Government
supplies banks with bills.
JOHN GANNON SWORN.
Got this bill from John McElrath, in pres
ence of McAnany; has been in my possesston
ever since; it is the identical bill. On Friintv
night the bill was tendered John McElrath
in payment for a box of collars; I recognized
McAnany as tlie same who passed a similar
■ bill on Wednesday previous; suspected first
i passed. The bill was not passed on me or
any one else in my presence.
‘ ‘ re-direct examination.
[ Recognize this bill as the one McElrath
charged McAnany with passing. McElrath
asked if this was same man as passed bill on
Wednesday; I believe he was. McAnany
’ was arrested by policeman at McElrath’s
i store.
CORRECTION OF TESTIMONY.
This bill has been out of my possession a
short time; am satisfied it is same bill passed;
have preserved a copy. Did not receive bill
from McAnany, but from McElrath, my
employer.
FRANK MCANANY SWORN.
In preliminary examination by de
fendant’s counsel, McAnany said he
did not expect any benefit from testi
mony against Williams—had not
been promised any.
Defence cited authorities that wit
ness could not testify—being an ac
complice, and passing bills in Wil
liam’s absence. The Court explained
that the evidence elicited would only
be taken into consideration so far as
corroborated by other testimony.
The Court here resumed the
. DIRECT EXAMINATION.
Did pass tire bill on McElrath; received it
from Williams, about three steps outside of
door; lie gave me only one bill at this time;
I called for paper collars, to get change for
Williams. I knew it was counterfeit—Wil
liams told me it was; had seen Williams
with more than a hundred similar $2 bills;
recognized package produced—tied in cloth;
never had the package—W. had it; baa
been in Augusta two or three weeks; came
from Savannah with Williams; boarded at
same house; satisfied that Williams knew
money was counterfeit; believe it was Wil
liams’ object in coming here to pass money;
had seen Williams for two months in Sa
vannah; had passed similar money in Sa
vannah for Williams; one other person in
Savannah was also an accomplice —did not
know his name—John; a white man, and
Italian, boarded with Mrs. Burns—occupy-
Ing same room with Williams.
CROSS-EXAMINATION.
Asked witness to correct his testimony.
Had no corrections to make; had seen W.
in Savannah about two months before we
came here; saw him every week for two
months—was positive; came up on boat; be
lieves it was Swarr—couldn’t say; didn’t
know commander, engineer, passengers, or
any one; paid $4 fare; W. was in same
bout; left Savannah at 11 o’clock, about
Wednesday; got here on Friday, two or
three weeks since; both been here ever since;
boarded wi.h Mrs. Burns in Bridge Row;
did not receive a package from Williams}
did not know what the package contained
to-day; knew what it contained that night
—sls2; W. earned the package and hid it
in water-closet—top of; pretty well hid;
did not help hide it; was not with him; told
me he was going to hide it there—all I know
about the hiding; satv him go there. Came
! off of sidewajk, got key and hid the money;
did not tell me where he would hide it in
water-closet; told me he had hid it in water
closet —it was a good place; went in that
night and found it; carried it to police bar
racks and gave it to the Chief; two police
-1 men went with me to search for it; had
. difficulty to find it; carried a light
found it in about a minute, ou a
scantling running crosswise, about
etght or ten feet high; don’t know much
about Williams; don’t know what kind of a
1 man he is; Williams gave me the bills as
- counterfeit; have spent more than two; he
gave me one at a time; a good many, more
■ than one or two—gave me all of a hundred;
, had. W.’s word that the bill I passed for paper
collars was not good; when arrested I had
• 15 or sl6 in good money; had only one bad
, bill; have no carpet-sack; did not keep any
thing in valise of Williams’; I taught socks,
tobacco; deposited them in W.’s hand on
sidewalk; Williams carried everything to
Mrs. Burns’; with money 1 got, bought
things, carried them to Williams, gave him
change, and kept none myself.
KE-DIRECTr
Williams paid the fare up from Savannah
—one bill of this money; know tlrat Wil
-3 liains had large quantities of this money;
I .took all he had when he went out; was ar
-1 rested by two officers, and went with them;
- came at William's request, etc., etc.
RE-CROSS EXAMINATION.
Did say that 1 paid my own fare; that
- Williams paid his fare; each paid $4. Wil
i liams gave me nine dollars to pay my fare—
-25 cents, 50 cents, $1 and s2's —only one $2;
perhaps there was no sl’s —50, 25 cents, and
one $2 —can swear to that; don’t know how
f much small change he gave me; gave me $9
to pay my fare and his.
f ’ ' MRS. BURNS SWOBN.
1 Don’t know anything about Williams; he
r boarded with me one week; told me they
xvere telegraph operators; paid me $lO in
small change. Don’t know anything about
- these men, only that they were boarders.
Saw no large amount of inoney in their pos
. session. McCann brought Williams to my
1 house. Williams paid me the board for
f himself and McAnany.

assignees.
