Continued from last week. Complaint was made by several that waler was bailed «p aad put in barrels, and in many eases allowed to stand anti! it be* came stagnant, so tainting the atmosphere ai to be very offensive and injurious to those working in the minee. Upon investigation the committee found the camplaint to be well grounded, and that the condition of the atmoephere in eaid mines, produeed by *uch barrels of water Inapt in small exeavations, was, in feet, unhealthy; and they recommend that tho proper author ities look into the matter, and take such steps as may bo noceasary for its prevention. The boeemittee call tbo attention of tho Governor to John Cheathum, convicted of mur der, and serving a life-sentence, bearing date from May, 1881, sent from the county of Gwinnett. From the investigation the committee has made, they agree that his is n proper case for the exercise of clemency, and should the Gover nor, after investigating the facta in the case, see fit to pardon, it would meet with the entire approval of this committee. Wo also call the attention of the Executive to Joseph Moncrief, who was convicted of involuntary man slaughter in June 1876, from the cc unty of Floyd, and who is serving a fifteen years’ sentence. We re spectfully request the Governor to examine into the merits of this case should he deem it deserving of Executive clemency and pardon him, his action would receive the full approbation of tho committee. I'iie committee deem it not improp er to state here that both of the last mentioned persona wore imprisoned when very young, aad by those having them in charge, the commit tee is informed that their conduct has always been extremely good. The lessees and officers b iving them in charge are unani mous in pronouncing them as de serving Executive clemency. Jones, alias Sorrell (colored), one of the leaders in the mutiny or strike at the coke ovens several months age, is now confined in the hospital suffering with a broken arn, which accident he met with but a few days before the arrival of the com mittee at the camp. He claimed that hie arm was broken by Kill pat rick and others with a handcuff, and told a pitiful tale of the manner in which he had been treated. The committee found it difficult to arrive at the truth of the matter and learn exactly how his erm had been broken, there being eeveral convicts whose positiya. statements corroborated that of Jones himself, and others who said bis arm had been broked by a blow with a piece of piping received st the hands of another convict named Brooks. This latter theory was ♦■stained by Killpatrick and a number of others. The committee, however, are of the opinion that in either event Jones is to blame; that if hie arm was broken, as be claims, tv rl<a handcuff, he brought it on himself by resisting the authorities, •nd if done with a piece of p iping in the hands of Brooks, it was to ward off an assault made by him on Brooke.— Contioaed next week. Mayor Hkweitt, of New York . stated in a reoer.t message that ■ ,Bora i breathing spaces are re quired in the densely populated portions of upou which the New York Tribune remarks that ’‘what we need in the way of parks are a large number of pretty little open places all through the city where the people cars go after their hard day’s work, and where their children can play at will.” Our city seems to be ahead of New York in the way of “pretty little” parks that is old Savannah is, but we fear the New Savannah is likely to become like old New York. Let us have ‘pretty little parks’ every where always for the benefit of the old and young rich and poor* KING WILLIAM AND THE ARMY. Emperor William celebrated the eightieth anniveisary of his en trance into the Prussian army on January first, by receiving all his commanding generals, headed by Crown Prince Frederick William. The Crown Prince addressed the Emperor as follows: “The army celebrates with your majesty the day upon which, eighty vears ago, you entered the army. On several occasions we have b en fu 'tniiHte in coming before our chief in war to thank him for leading us through severe struggles to glori ous victories. To dav, however, your Majesty can look upon six teen years which have been richly blessed by peace —years above al), dedicated to the undisturbed devel opment and strengthening of an em pire, which was only established after long waiting and struggling. This work of peace succeeded be cause your Majesty’s competent and active leadership raised the capability of the army to that state of perfection of which every Ger man soldier is justly proud. The Prussian principle that bo differ ence exists between the people and the army, because both are ready to defend their country, has by your Majesty’s care, became the property of the whole Gm men na tion. In this natural capabiiiiy lies our greatest security for the main teuance of peace. “May I then, again, tell your Majesty that our strong aud united nation, in grateful lovo aad faithfulness, always ree fer sacrifices, trusts in its emperor and leader in war, looks with joyful coufi lence upon him hn the p« server of peace, and cherishes the wish that God’s blessing in fulnesp may dwell upon him ” The emperor replied complimen ting the army highly for the suc cesses of Germany, He embraced (he Crown Prince, and General Von Moltketo whom he spoke earn estly. The city of Berlin whs gaily decked with flags and thi people wild with enthusiasm. Th city was brilliantly illuminated at night and a grand military banquet held in honor of the event. On Chrismae-Eve nigh? about 9 o’clock Deputy Marehal Alonzo Guyton was called upou by one of the merchants to arrest one William Goods, Jr., a colored youth, who had been causing and using obsi ne language. The boy resisted and refuted to be arrested. At tine point Goods pulled away from Guyton and snapped his pistol in his face, says Guyton, and then Guyron shot him in the stomach. The Deputy Marshal claims ihat he had to shoot G>ods in self-defence for he pulled his pistol ou him. The wounded man’s glory does not agree with Guyton. On Christmas morn ing Guyton surrendered himself and was placed under bond for bis appearance at court, and was tut pended from office pending a bear i g which will take place on Wednesday next before the Board of County Commisaioners who are ex-officio J. P.’s as a court of inquiry. Dr. Clark extracted the ball on Wednesday and reports Goods doing Well and feels satisfied that he will recover.—Darien Tim ber Gaze tie.

In vision pa>s before me* O Cattle Park, O Cattle Park, No place on sarth so swee* and tender, No tongue, no song, no pen can render, Lavished upon thee her beet store, O Cattle Park, Sweet Cattle Park, Let me breathe thy porfnmed air once more That floats aroued the old home door, Let me go and die there rich or poor, Contented I would ask no more.
