THK EXCITEMENT OVER.
Dlel.’ins m Itegnirvd to dice a Bond of
Fire Hundred Dollars.
The case of Mr. Joe Dickinson, late
baggage master on I he West ru Railroad
of Alabama, charged witli an attempt to
biro a former negro train band to mur
der conductor J. M. Webster, was
sumed last afternoon at half past three
o'clock, before Justices T. J. Chappell,
M McCahey and J. M. McNeill.
The Superior Court room was crowded
with interested spectators.
STATEMENT OF DEFENDANT.
The defense offered no evidence. Dick
inson wns allowed to mike a statement.
He denied in tototlie evidence of Oeorgo
Harper, colored, the agent by whom the
aliedged killing was to Lave been done
on Monday night. He (Dickinson; bad
no culls') to kill Webster. The latter at one
time iiad spoken about discharging him,
but bad told him not many days before
that be would give him timely notice be
fore doing so. He never dreamed of
speaking to Harper about killing Webster,
or any one else, and never even thought
of such an act for a moment. Harper's
story was a tissue of falsehoods.
There was no object in killing
Webster. He (Dickinson; knew be bad
no opportunity of promotion if he had.
The mere robbery of him for the $20 or
$f»0 he carried with him at night was no
great temptation. If ho had wanted to
rob he could have <2one ho when he had
sometimes had as lunch ns $1,200 in his
hands to get a receipt from tho proper
officer on the train going to Montgom
ery. About putting the caps on Webster’H
pistol he knew nothing-—was as much iu
the dark in regard to that asauyouo elso.
Others could have found opportunity to
do it. The act might have beou a con
spiracy. He could have no possible ob
ject in doing so.
Wo merely givo the outline of bis state
ment, which uppoared disconnected on
account of nervousness.
THE ARGUMENT
for the defence was commenced by Judge
W. F. Williams, who attacked the insuffi
ciency of the warrant, and the credibility
of the main witness, George Harper,
whom he called a thief nnd liar. Various
authorities were quoted. He claimed, too,
that others might have changed (he caps
on Webster’s pistol.
John Peabody, Esq., nnd Col. B. A.
Thorton followed for the prosecution.
They rend numerous authoiities, traced
the evidence in a connecting link, and
contended that the evidence of Harper
corroborated in every particular. The
law questions were ably argued, nnd the
numerous legal authorities cited. They
also coutended that the evidence was too
strong for a conspiracy.
C. H. Wiliams, Esq., closed for tho de
fence. Ho contended that all the evidence
centered on the negro, Harper, who hud
been compelled to leave the road for steal
ing money, and that if he was to be
bolievod iu ouo thing lio must in all, aud
bo swore differently several times. It
was iu evidence that ull were asleep whon
the train was coming to Columbus on
Monday, and that on Sunday when the
first urnrkod cap was produced, Wilhelm’s
testimony was that Dickinson was for
some time in the muii apartment, where
there wus a tire. Others, if a conspiracy
had boon formed ngainut Dickinson,
could huve opeuod the desk with or with
out keys, aud changed the pistol caps,
both ou the first aud second occasions,
lie quoted the ovideuce to show that,even
were Harper to bo believed, that negro had
sworn only robbery was intended; that
Harper approached Dickinson and urged
the gnu borrowing business, aud Diokin-
refused to liuvo unythiug more to do
with it. Subsequent approaches made
Harper the principal; and that Harper
swore lie never consented to kill or rob
Webster, so no one had been procured as
barged by tho warrant. Ho contendod
that Webster's recourse, if he entertained
fears of danger, against Dickinson was a
peace warraut.
THE JUDGMENT
of the Court was, thero being a probabil
ity of guilt, the prisoner be required to
give a boud of $r»00 to answer the charge
before the Superior Court. It is thought
lo so to-day, as he is highly con
nected iu Columbus.

—Upon bearing argument of counsel and
on examination of the record in said mat
ter, and the cases cited or referred to, in
cluding tlie case ill re the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company, forwarded to me
by Major Moses and received September
14, 1874. I am of the opinion that at the

Win. L. Salisbury and John Peabody,
both of the county of Muscogee iu Raid
District, were duly olected assignees, and
Also trustees of the estate of the said
bankrupt uuder a committee, but I am of
the opinion that it would not bo for the
interest of the creditors to have the es
tate wound up by trustees uuder a com
mute, therefore I do not confirm the
same.
I hereby approve aud confirm the elec
tion of the said Wm. L. Salisbury and
John Peabody as assignees of tho estate
of said bankrupt.
And it is ordered and adjudged that
they give a good bond with sufficient se
curity in the sum of thirty thousand dol

i-JiriJi ral Menro Nominations Last Might.
* About 2.70 colored people of the Radi
cal party met last n’ght in tbe Superior
Court room, and Charley Bullard “&ot iu
de cheer,” while Bill Smith, the natural
artist, took up the quill. For some time
nobo ly seemed to kno.v whiit they
met for. Bob WilUams siid it
was Ketchuin’s meeting, but Ket-
clinin staid quiet To: a while. \ au
Jones suddenly made hs appearance in a
linen duster, and said “we met here to
night to ratify the nomination of R. B.
Bailey for one member, aud to nominate
Green B. Lawis for tbe oilier,” and the
nominations were ratified.
Bill Turner, of Alabama, (a few words)
Kotcbum, in opposition to Bib Wil inus
and Van Jones, spoke.
Then Alf Tarver arose, when most of
the colored troops left. The whole affair
was a scene of turmoil and strife.
Finally, Williams shut off the gas, the
Chairman having quit his seat, and Joe
Harris und John Hall heiug on either side
of Tarver, hammering away for “Order!”
Van Jones, at one time, appealed to the
Chair if he was not a “pint of order” ?
A resolution to rescind Ketchum’s reso
lution, offered on tho 14th, (which went
tlio who o hog for civil rights; aud to say
that the colored people wanted men who
would represent the whole people, and
not tho black race was voted down by a
large majority.
Lowis, one of the nominees, made a
speech, iu which he alluded to himself
(bo is a mulatto) as being superior to
both races, bocause he came of both, and
each claimed to bo the superior race. He
is an ont-and out “Civil Righter,” about
twenty-three years old. He said he
wanted to walk side by side with the
white race.
As u show tho mooting w r ds the richest
of the Heasou. Ketchum, after introduc
ing Turner, begged the assemblage to
kee p at least a little order while a stranger
was talking. As Turner spoke only about
a minute thero was a lull for that spaco of
time, only interrupted by a colored man
jumping ou the clerk’s desk twice to
make au announcement, which he sue-
ceeded in doing after being pulled down
once. One or two sticks flourished around.
Cries of “put him out!” Tlie bedlam
went on till everybody quit the house.
Van Jones saidwbeu they (the negroes)
wanted county officers they wanted gen
tlemen, intelligent men, and they voted
for Democrats.
Both candidates beiug negroes, will
unite tiie whites in a solid body to oppose
theib.
Doc Echols skirmished heavily with
Ketchum, the latter favoring tho nomina
tion of two colored lflen, and thus raising
a race issue. *
Direr Mews.
Tho steamer Farley arrived yesterday
with 49 bales of cotton, bhe had to be
lightened to pass through the channel at
Woolfolk’s. She has been tied up. The
Julia St. Clair, a much larger aud wider
boat, left yesterday afternoon for lluili-
bridge. There is a largo amount of cot
ton on tho river bank awaiting shipment
to Columbus. At Neal’s Landing alone
there are said to be 200 bale.).
The Jackson was expected last night,
nnd will leave to-day. The Central Line
is making all endeavors to clear tho river
of cotton.
The Farley, on her last down trip, car
ried from Columbus 55)0 barrels of freight.

Au advance sheet from tbe Commercial

interesting figures in connection with the

gratifying. It has risen from ninety
thousand holes iu 18t*9>*70 to one hundred

Yesterday we were shown a letter from
the Bev. W. J. Gains, pAstor of Ashury
Chapel, which does credit to his heart and
head. It was addressed to Alfred Murray
aud wife, on the occasion of their daugh

It shows that Tereesa was a noble, up

duty, and who looked to another world
for reward, and it consoles tho bereaved
parents in their affliction, by pointing out
the road that will lead them to their
i daughter.

Georgia, while of four huudred and eighty-
seven thousand spindles. Georgia runs
nearly one third. Her mills also consume
nearly one-third of tbe number of bales
col toil used. It must be also recollected
that two of the largest aud moat success
ful cotton mills of South Carolina—we
mean Graniteviile and Langley—are tun
principally with Gro-gia capital, that
their offices are iu Georgia, and that their
chief executive officers are Georgians.
There is hut little reason to doubt that by
the end of tho next decade Georgia will
rank next after Massachusetts in the man
ufacture of cotton, and that Augusta will
bo to Georgia what Lowell is to Massa
chusetts.—Augusta Chronicle.
