Butts, which occurred early yesterday morning. Mr. Butts had beeu afflicted with consumption for several mouths, but was perfectly rational and conscious up to the moment of his death. He was a night inspector of customs at this port for several years, out was compell ed to resign recently, in consequence of his failing health. He was always open in his demand for the rights of our people, and will be greatly missed by them. His funeral will take place this atteruoou from his residence on Charlton street lane near Liucoln. The Republicans of Effinghatij Coun ty have elected J. G. Clark, Esq., and Rev. J. 1*. Flintroy as delegates to the Atlanta Convention which meets on May drd. ^te brand Jury of Effingham, County in their presentment, dated April 12th, says, iu Rubstauee, that cer tain witnesses in a recent murder case had been tampered with, and that the “ends of justice well nigh frustrated,’’ aud this because we published the de claration of Emma Rhodes, to the effeet that she had been forced tp make a state ment under threats of violence aud death. We suppose the intelligent jury meant the recent murder of Mrs. Coch ran and daughter in that county. Now we wild simply say that Mr. Co chran has our deepest sympathy in the fefrible calamity that has befillen him iu the destruclion of those who were nearest and unquestionably dearest to him. We nlways hoped that the mon sters who committed the iutmmau aci would be hunted down, aud bo made to pay the full penally of the law. Iu reply to the Grand Jury we will say their presentment is uutrue in every particular, so far as it relates to our visit to the jail. In the first place Emma Rhodes was the only witness with whom we conversed, aud we saw none of the other prisoners from Effingham eouuly. Emma made a voluntary statement, which she afterward swore to. as is stated by ns two weeks ago. She was not tampered with in any particular, but told her own story over and over. The jailer permitted nothiug that could iu the remotest degree impair the course of justice, nnd nothing of the kind was desired nor done duriug our visit. That the Graud Jury has neglected their duty is apparent to every one, who will call to miud the recent slaughter of three colored men without any proof whatever that they had been guilty ot auy crime,aud toseethat no presentment has been made of the matter. Our advice so that Jury is to lerret out aud puuish crime uo matter by wii mi com mitted, white aud black alike, and they will have the hearty co-operation ot all good citizens; and until this is done everywhere, it will require something more than vague presentuien s to cause a feeling of security and relief to pre vail in onr State Republican Mass Meeting* Will be held as follows to elect dele gates to the county convention which meets in this city on the 29th: First District, at Lyceum Hall, Mon day, 24th iust., 7 12 p. iu. Fourth District, at Tabernacle, Wed nesday night 20th inst., 7 12 p, m Second District, Thursday, 8 o’clock p. m., Huntingdon st. near Jefferson. Our friends who are indebted to the Tribuns will please pay up at once. -r-*- Brief*. The Chatham Light Infantry will cele brate th r fifth anniversary on Monday, by' a, parade iu the afternoou.

Daniel Davis, one of the men recent ly sentenced to death in Effingham County, has been granted a new trial, owing to the energy and perservance of his counsel, Mess. P. M. &. R. W. Russell.
