ted to implicate these prisoners, was one
je Ilf ruble (?) John L. Conley, n stripling
of, perhaps, four-end-twenty summers,
who, when he was eiponnding the law to
the learned counsel in this esse,
presented the picture of a child
teaching Solos; who also reoSrod 811,>
500 from the Btate Treasury for aboat
8100 worth of work.
We hail opportunities of convening
with the prisoners, witnesses, and otlur
of Dada, who were aok arraigned
in this examination, and from them we
ha VO obtained tho following reliable and
impartial explanation at this unfounded
prooseation of tho koarst and incooent
oitixena of the eounty of Dade.
It seems that one Asa Boydston, living
on tho lino of Alabama and Georgia, but
within Alabama duiing the war, too cow-
Ardly te volunteer as a soldier, frequented
the mountain* and at oyery opportunity
committed tlisfta, Hdftod defenseless wo
men and helpless childrcu, and ravaged
the homes of families of soldiers in the
arq^, and *as g»iity of innumerable dep
redatious not tolerated by any civilized
government. After the war, being sev-
basement of tbair^nowohnrch on Tiinrr* ^ral times detected in thieving and other
misdemeanors, he soon forfeited the re-
sneet of ovpry honest man in the vicinity.
Baling this winter he Vary snddeutly left
the eounty, but returned aboat two
jreeks ago in company with one James
Bkyles, who seemed to be employod by
the Government for arresting parties uu
fief* the Ku Kltfit bets of Congress, and
under the proclamations of Bollock, to
get the rewards offered.
Arriving at Trenton, Dude county,
Boydston pointed out Mr. R. Haney,
who was immediately arrested and plaited
under guard of a squad of United Stales
soldiers. They then proceeded to Biaiug

J. W. Blavina, Bond Commissioner, in
the act,of writing out his report; and fif-
teen'or twenty btbre, who were closely
and bnaily engaged in tlieir respective
ddtfcn, who 1 we not allowed time for
preparation in tho bitterly cold weather
tknt was than prevailing. Ilf any of the
prisoners were compelled to pass tb
frigid night without shelter anil without
blankets around a smouldering camp fire,
wkieh was bnt a poor protection in tho
tempostnous winds that honied among
!«.(*> mountainous regions.
The party next proceeded toObmtta
noogo, xvhara all were committed to pris
on, except T. W. Sharrook and W. P.
Sharrock, who nrcry lost aoen with tho
TTniMl States Coii»mis:nonor. It is sup
posed that,by enjoliug, throuts and prom
ises, theso hrfTpflfsona were persuaded to
tum Govefiimont ovidonce. They
treated with clemency, and even with
special kindness, whilo all tho other pris
oners were allowod a bare pittance of fil
thy food and wen confined in oells which
barely admitted th« bodies ol six mou ly
ing ou tbelr sides. Ono of the prisoners
testified that, while lying down, it was
impossible for one man to move without
tho simultaneous movement of every iu
mato of the room. While there, the offi
cer, and commissioners used every device
and all thier olo<itience to persuade
ono of the younger sous of Colonel R.
It. Tatum—a mau of extended influence
—to turn Govenment evidence, doubtless
hoping that a confession or treacherous
and malicious testimony from such an
esteemed and reliable source would con
vict a host of innooont citizens. They
urged that he ought not “iu tho bloom
of his youth,” to accept certain impris
onment, when tho opportunity waa pre
sented to escape. Young Tatum, with
indignation, replied that lm would suffer
the horrors of ft life time imprisonment
before ho would testify against his own
neighbors and involve them in a crime,
which, it ever perpetrated at all, was not
only without their countenance, bnt
without their knowledge, llis malicious
temfteiM said they would make no
moro efforts. " If tho younger
Tatum would not yfeJd, it was useless to
« pa*l to the older.” So th«r efforts in
at direction were baffled; but they were
more successful with tho two Sharrocks,
who both taWltd .Oovernment evidence.
Thoprisoncis were then brought to
this place, and all, with tho exception of
a few, were committed to prison. They
all assort that they were wreuted without
brine lakifiod of ihe reason or the cause
The following neared prisoner, were
then diachargnd: W. P. ShaRock,
Thos. Sharrook, R Haney, W. L. Stew

A mtratt out! tlieii imaed tar U* at
rest of Mr. James A. O’Neal, for violat
ing the Enforcement Act, but owing to a
defect, it was soon dismissed. Mr. H. T.
Wilson and M. Nichols appeared and said
they had been arrested and were unable
te n«y for w hat purjHjse. There was no
charge sgRiflbt them. Conley protested
ignorance of the transaction, and these
persons who had been arraigned for noth
ing were permitted to depart without any
apology or any explanation for this abuse
of their time, honor, and liberty. No
reparation for lest time and days of hun
ger, privation and anxiety. This is heap
ing msttit on injury, and Otoly becomes
accountable when we consider that it was
oil done at the instigation of a fanatical
press whose policy and purpose is te op*
pose and insult our people.

Superior Court, provided him with a full

what was termed the Homt Guard, whioh,
during the war, robbed tho homes of
helpless women. Asa Boydston, the
secret agent employed to make these ar
rests, is a reputed thief, and a warrant
has been issued in the State of Alabama
for liis urrest under charges of thieving
and abusing liis family. Such are the
witnesses—reputed thieves and robbers,
and subsidised recreants.

ten minutes before 12 on Friday sight
the Legislature, having disposed of the
regular burineas, in order to prolong the
until Saturday, indulged in a lit.
tie by me* and micehsel to pass o^ riie
time.
The resolution to hold the next session
of the Legislature at Milledgeville, was
made u matter of personal explanation by
Senator Mathews, who stated that ho sot
out to state that he was in tho arms of
Mary Ann Morpheoe, or ought to be,
and in order that he be there very soon
he wanted to adjourn immediately, but
would cast an inuendi for the entertain'
msnt of tho •Senate, till the bow of < ad
journment arrived. He was strictly in
favor of the eousfeUaiionalitj of the Con
stitution, and if Constitutional, then he
suggested that it was Constitutional for
the keeper of the Capitol at Milledgeville
to remain there while the Senators ran
the machine in Atlanta, and for the rea
sons mentioned is that The Bum had said
nothing ubout the pestilence of fraud and
corruption being in Atlauta, it was Con
stitutional to go to Milledgeville to grati
fy the keeper of the Capitol, but that he
thought that many of the Senators ought
to be seat to tha keeper of the Peniten
tiary on Constitutional grounds.
rienator Jones proposed to move the
Capitol to Lickdcillct.
Senator Nnnnafly wanted it to meet
next time at Hardhead, Pike eounty.
Passed, for ono and a half minutes, when
it was resolved, on motion of Senator
Bruton, that the next meeting be held nt
Lee Smith’s. This went through, but a
stinking Senator amended by offering, as
the place of permanent meeting, the
name of Pole Cat Spring. The whole
thing stinking, the Senators began to
smell had, and a proposition to take a nip
was agreed to, on condition that all
hands took “egg flip.”
There was a proposition made to fur
nish the 42d District with a Senator, and
another District with a thousand copies
of Fitch’s Radical Star. These
people needing a puke, A was
agreed tliat that paper be sent, and that
Fitch be sent to Bullock as his fight
bower; passed. During the discussion,
Senator Peddy was, like O’Neal, bowed
down in silent mortification. He could
not recover from bis jwess-ing onslaught
of a few days previous, and remained in
a virtuous state of silence, till the motion
to adjourn sine dit was announced and
carried. President Trammell’s remarks
to the Sena&ore was appropriate aud to
the point.
Fosteb Blodgett.—Our dispatches
are not very favorable to Foster. If be
should fail to obtain a seat in the Senate,
will he come back here aud meet the
cases which are, and will be, against him
in the Courts, or will he join Bullock,
and stay away from the State, and out of
the sight of the people ho lias so greatly
oatraged ?
To the Ladies.—Capt. John Keely,
the popular dry goods merchant, has
something to SAy in our local and busi-
uoas column this morning.
