liilred: "Im the loiter i>rlnted In the
New Y'*rk Iftruldof May I'.Mli from
General Grant to Senator Jonen the let

After reading the letter Khipherd re
plied: "I think it in."
'* Up to that time it had been
(lie intention of your rlientn, hail it
offer tlie preeldency of the Pe
riiviau ivnnpatiy to Gen Gram?"
Shlpherd replied that It had, but foar
ing trom that letter that there might
not t>e perfect harmony lietweeu Geo.
(grant and Prenideut Garfield, it wu
leemed ad visable to adhere to their
original lnUmtion.
Shlpherd wax asked to give the
iiamea of any meinlieni of eoiigreaN or
other partit-M to whom Ida proN|MM-tiiM
|liad >»oen sent, and replied fliat he
md a proper i|iieo-

that lie bail no correapondeuce with

•o w ith Mlicli neraonx wax wilb them

Shlpherd then declined to anawer.
A Her Home dlMcuaxion, aa to the pro
of hia replying, to which wit-
lemurred, lie waa aaked If he

that Hewitt aent him a very courteous
reply by the amine inewieuger who laire
hla (Mfiipherd'a) letter lo him.
Rice then read from the printed evi

Shlpherd'a alalemeut iu regard to Ida

with Gen. Iltirlbui, winch lie would
■abrail ai tin* propwr Dm
Rice -"I deem the present the proper
^TtUft.” . i .
Witness teplied that lie could not get
the collateral correspondence now
w ithout going lo New York, hut that
he bad with him aevsu original letters
from Hurlbtirt, which he would mu li
mit to I lie comuiiltee. The letters were
then read by the clerk. The first
letter l*ore the date of Ite'vi-
dote, Illlnolae, June 6th, 18M:,
kuowledged the receipt of a letter
.un Shipherd aud stated that he
(Hurlbut; could take no action iu tlie
matter or the Peruvian company ex
cept under instructions from the state
lepartment. The sei-ond also Itore tbe
;lats of Helvhlere, III., June 1(1, Iasi,
and waa of a similar tenor, stating that
auy action in tbe matter must be
dictated and decided in Waxhington.
The other live lettera liore the date of
Lima, Peru. The third latter Imre the
dale of September lltth, IHftl, acknowl-
edg«n| the receipt of docu men I a from
Shipherd, and ataled that no auch in-
etrucilone had been received by him
(Iltirlbui) aa lie tSIdplierd ntaled bad
iaMMi forwarded to him at Lima by tbe
stale department, also intimating that
such great Interest aa he (Shlpherd)
claimed to have in charge should be
ipreaenled al Lima by a thoroughly
-oiii pel ant |*erann; that Peru
waa iu neeit of aaalatance. The
■fourth letter Itore the dale
of October 4th, 1HM, acknowledged tbe
receipt < f duplicate iba-umenta, and in
timated that the writer did not con

pany an aolid aa had Iteen repreaented
by Shipherd. The letter alao diacuaaed

that tbe writer waa unaware of the
statun of the French company, which
1 mtried t<> have offered (iscuulary
■ *eru, The al ith letter bore the
late of OcUibsr Jrttb, Inal. It acknowl
edges tlie receipt of a letter from
Shlpherd; liitlmalivl that the Calderon
govennnent wa-* rapidly being a.vept
ed. and if the Peruvian comitauy e«
pe.-ted anything to l*»done for them
[nalrucliona should I* telegraphed
from (lie state department at once. The
aevenlh and laat loiter laire the dale of
November -kl. 1H8I, and noli lied Hliip-
herd that helHurlbuti had sent their
oorrea|iondeu<*e to the alate depart no-lit
and returned his (Hlilpberd’e) laal and
u.M*i singular letter, ami |xmilively tls-
Bliued any further oorrse|a»ndein-e. The
writer adds. "The tone of your latter
la displeiMiug, ami I wish no more ot

Another reason given by witness for
Ida untsvnrshle opinion of Iltirlbui
w as that lie never could see auy merit
in the case ot the Peruvian company,
although a lawyer, he could never see
•trength In the claim, and thla in
the face of tbe Ikct that Gov. Rootwell
thought we had a perfect caae. tlen.
Butler thought so. and a»» did every
other lawyer who looked Into it.
Klee remarked "Was there anything
singular iu that ? Were nd tht**e gen-
tieineu your feed counsel ?"
Witue-a thought when he reteived
Blaine's letter, of |Ns*eiubnr .'kl, and
learned, for the lirat time, that some

that he < IIurlhulI should have conllu

never have taken auy offense kill then.
Witness al this point suggested that
lie had pna-iired a copy of a letter

Blaine August 'Kb. IHHI, which had
never lawn published and aa It should
some in at this time cliciinhigically, be
would offer it now. The letter wax
read by the clerk. It la over half a

of howto say by Indirection what be

voyage Ills father decidi*! to give lip
In* -rsfarihg life and settle down in
New York. Ih- purchased a dwell
ing on Twenty-third street, near
Sixth avenue, which was then a fash
ionable residence |srrtmn of the city,
aud probably feeling lonely in his old
age, trsrk Iris sou out of college and
purchas4*d for him an Interest in a
large wholesale dry g«*od* house. The
young man -bowed remarkable tact,
ainl for two or three yrars worked
faithfully and energetically, much to
bin fattier'" pride ami satisfaction.
Tlu-n he lM*gan to mingle in society,
and a* he always bad plenty of mon
ey lie was welcomed everywhere by
the voting Ii|(mmIs of the town ami by
the fortune-hunting l»cllee and their
mammas. Although he did not ac
tually neglect Ills hllxin!*ttx, lie did
not S4*« 111 as deeply engrossed in it as
formerly, and much of his income
was s|x<nt in wine snp|s-r« and other
kinds of dissipation followed by the
rapid young IilOli of the nietro|Nilts.
Finally he made the acquaintance
of a young lady who moved in the
up|ter circles of society tin- daughter
of a widow who was reported to Ire
very wealthy. How she ohtaiiuxl
her money, if she had any, wa* never
know n, and there wa* an air of mys
tery about her history which i*aused
considerable talk in sis-iety, but as
-In- and her daughter apis-ared to tie
refined, edm-ahd |N*ople, they were
recognized by Ihe letter elaxxe*. The
daughter wa* an exceedingly hand
some girl, very vi various and coquett
ish In her manner, und always bad
at least a doz< n at dent admirers at her
heel*. She affected flu- strongest at
tachment for young KuUihour, who,
in turn, seemed |a-rfecUy devote«| to
tier. It was finally re|mrted that
they were engaged to be married, aud
tin gossiping spinster* whispered
that if there was any love in the
match it was all on In* side, that sin-
wax *itni>ly after his money, or tlre
uionev Ilia*, would Is* hi* when hi*
father died. Il wa* known that tin-
latter wax strongly op|NM4-d to the
mnteh, ami that lie did everything in
hia power to break it up. ite might
have suc«*coded, |s*rhap*, but one day
a stroke ol a|xrp|exy laid him out on
the -idewalk 111 front of his own rt-si-
donec, ami the young mail trscame the
owner of something like half a mil
linn.
All op|stsilion tmw being removed,
the wedding, as a natural result, fol
lowed, snd It was one of the swelle-l
sff'iirx New York had ever known.
It took place at the residence of tlie
hride's mother, on Twentieth street,
near Fiftli avenue, ami was attended
by some of tin- most prominent |x*o-
ple of the city. The *up|s*r, which
was gotten up try Ddtiiohico, wa*
perfection. Wine flowed a* freely a*
water, and at midnight it was said
that the festivities begun to assume
tlie ap|s-aranee of a Jardin Mabile
bull rather than the modt-ralc pleas
ure of a well-conducted wedding in
upis-r-teinloni. Before J o’ehs-k the
quieter is.rtioli ol the guest* bad Im--
• -•line disgusted and left for their
homes, and try 4 o'clock there wax
hardly any one present. Alsmt this
time till grrsnil sUi-enmls-d to the ili-
tlueiice of tbe wine ami was carried
helplessly drunk to one of the up|s*r
risiuis, w lu re lie wax left to hIi**p otr

At alroiit *• o'clock tie awoke, and.

THE VICTIM AND IIIH FAMILY.
Waller Roundtree wax about nine
teen year* of age and a native of
Brook* -oiintv. where hi* father Lax
always been a leading a-d prominent
citizen. This family are Intimately
known to many person* in Allien*.
The deceased wax a member of lha
junior claxs and stood high in hi*
studies, lie wax of the Phi Kappa so
ciety and the (’hi-Phi fraternity. Ue
wa* a general favorite with hi* class
mates, for ins dis|xwiiUon wa frank,
manly and generous. If he had au
enemy no one i* cognizant of the fact.
The students at the university have
certainly covered thernaelves with
honor l»v their conservative and law-
abid.ng deportment. We never knew
a set of voting men to act so wisely.
While they were naturally* shocked
and indignant at the inurdei, they- at
th«<*amerime preserved tlie most com
mendable clear-heeded coolness. We
mingled and talked freely with these
young men, and heard not the first in
timation of taking the law into their
tlu> boys level and heeded tlie advice
of this great and gor*l uian. They say
that tiiey are couient to rest this mat
ter in tlie hand* of the law, feeling Dial
justice will Ire done their dead

If their aervices were re4|ii!rod to en

no* before. They Imve not an idea of
taking the law in their own hands.
This unfortunate affair will doubt
less do, temporarily, our Slate univer
sity some in|ury—but not no iniieli as
many suppose. It is one of those nut*
uiges that might have hapismed iu any
town or city in Gtrorgia -snd it waa
not in the power of human foresight
to prevent. Parents for a time will feid
loth to trust their sons in n city w here
black ontlawaare reported to hold high
carnival -but we will aay to the pisn.le
of Georgia that Uiis murder has
learned the people of Athens a tiuielv
lesson and from this Mine on they* will
meet such cases with speedy punish
ment not nyvailing for the culmina
tion <f*iic|| hellish spleen. Our city
authorities feel that those studonlx are
entrusted to their protecting care, and
they will see that they are shielded
trom sui’h outrages as they have so
long and silently lx»rn«.
