Many of our readers have asked ns up
on what new evidence was it that J ndge
Barnard Hill admitted B. F. Bagley to
bail, when Judge Johnson and three Jus
tices of the Peaco of Mnsoogee county
refused to do so.
THE FACTS.
Marshal M. W. Morphy, of Oolnmbns,
was killed on the 2f>th of last Deoember
while doing his dnty as an officer of the
oity, by L. Bagley, of Chattahoochee
county, who waa himself killed by the
Marshal or some one elso. B. F. Bagley,
a brother of the deceased, was accused of
being an accessory to tho murder. Jndge
Johnson and three Justices of the Peace,
after a fnll bearing, coromitlod him lo
jail for murder, without bail. Jndge
Johnson went to Washington about a
week ago. During his absence counsel
for tho defence applied to Judge B.
Hill under a writ of hnbctw corpus for
bail. The writ waa granted and the case
heard in Maoon on Monday.
THE BESUI/T
was as has been telegraphed, the sceused
was admitted to bail in the snm of $5,000.
The following gentlemen by themselves,
or those authorized to do so, signed the
bond; Win. Bsgloy, D. O. Cody, D. J.
Shaw, David Winn, W. W. Bbipp, M. L.
Bivins, B. F. Davis.
They swore they were worth above
tbeir debts; Bagley $8,000; Cody $7,000;
Bivins $20,000; Shsw $3,000; Winn
$8,000; Hbipp $20,000: Davis $10,000-
total $70,000. After giving it 11* F. Bag-
ley was released.
THE ADOUMENT
was opened for tho defense by Col. B. A.
Thornton, followed by Solicitor Gonersl
Little end John Peabody, Esq., tor the
State and prosecution, followed by Col.
Blandford for the defense. The latter
made a bittor attaok upon tho policemen
of onr city.

About 4,000 bales of river ootton received

10.000 from wagons, and we have about
57.000 bales of ootton contributed to the
Central Railroad by Alabama, that passes
through this plaoe. Then there is thrf
Enfanla and Fort Gaines Alabama ootton,
which will swell tbe figures several thous
and bales.

thousand bales drawn, probably 75,000 to
100.000 from Alabama to Georgia ports in
half a season.
