The rergeant lei; the two j r.valet to guard the still and some prisoners whom they had taken, while he went for a wagon with which to re move them. One of the soldiers re iudned inside and the other was on the onmtde acting as a sentinel. In the meantime some of the neigh- Irani, learning of the aeisnre, arouaed the owner, who was sleeping in hia house at the top of a hi II, and told him, iu the language ot the mountains of (iforgia, that "ihe revenue waa in,” meaning that the revenue officers were around. 'I he owner hastily dressed hiauae.f, and not knowing that his aiill had already been captured, rushed down the hill shooting to those who h»d charge of iu The eoldier on guard <.u aide heard him coming and, euppoe- ing an stuck waa about to be made, c hallenged him and ordered him to halt. An the man paid no attention to the challenge, the eoldier fired and beard nothing more. Me did not know that he had hit acy one. When the ser- jffar.t returned, the siUI and prisoners •ere taken away and the next morn ing the owner waa found dead, in a rinall branch of water with a bullet- hole in his head. The *«Tg am and two privates were arrested by the local authorities of Gil mer county and were indicted for mur- «ler. They sued out a writ of hab *as c rj.ii* cum causa, under section 043 of the re vis* d statutes (the same by *u- th’.rity of which the Booth Carolina officers now demand Uis’ their cases ahall he transferred to the United Hiatus rant) and the sberifS under inatruc- u ns of the local court obeyed the writ. When t he cases came to be tried in the Unt ed Buttes court, the attorney general ol the state, Mr. Hammond, M}>j»«ur*d oy direction of tbe governor to deny the jurisdiction of the court, hot the j h1r« having decided a case, then just tried, that he ah >old bio. tain tne juriad.ction of the court, the question was not raised Another more recent casein which there vt»i a 1 >rma! decision occnrred in Lumpkin count', in the same judicial circuit in which Gilmer county is 1 ihe in*mnime a now judge had been elected lu this ca»e an iutornal r< ve nue officer with two men, who were acting as a posse, were in pursuit of Il licit distillers when one of the latter turned shout and pointed his gun at the pursuing party. O e of the internal revenue men, supposing that they were to he tired npon, drew hia pistol and shot one of the fugitives, wounding i.im, hut not fatally. The revenue offi rot slid his posse were all indicted in lire local court and gave bail. They then med ( ut a writ of habeas corpus cum cau<a, under section 043, of the revised Matu>os, • ut the local judge direct* d the shenll' not u» olwry it, as the law of whic i it was sought to take a«lvantage waa, in hi* opinion t'.ncnnslituii' nal. Oonse- qiientiy the United Hiatts court leaned tvn ordinary habeas corpus on the ground set forth in the petition, that ihe n cn were detained by the sheriff of Lumpkin count v in violation of tbe con- stun ion and laws of the Uoiu d Slates, i heir case having beau tram (erred to the Uoiled Htatea court. This writ the sheriff obeyed and the attorney- general - Eiy —appeared and made i»n argument in favor remanding the prisoners to the custody of tt e state authoritiea. Alter a full hearing, Mr. Akerman, ap pearing in behalf the revenue officers, ihe court. Judge Wood-*, decided ttrai that the law (acclion 013 of the Re vised Hiatutes) was constitutional and was applicable to the cases in question The prisoners were subsequently tried hefo-e the United Htates court and ac- qu.tted. "This case,” said Mr. Akcrman, almost identical with that which haa recently arisen in South Carolina.’* "On a hat ground do they awert that ’he law transferring such cases to the V- icd Sialis conn is unconstitution al?" asked the representative of the Tribune. "Their strongs 4 point is that an in dictment found in one jurisd ction cannot be tried in another. Bat it seems to me rtiat there can be no ques tion at* nl the right of the higher pow cr io ei act that this shall be done, and that is just whai congress has done. There is an opinion prevalent at the smill,”continued.Mr. Akerman, "that ml lawn which are at all distartcfnl to that section of the c uintry have been enacted since the w.tr, aud are the hut of the haired of the north toward Ihe south. That is «hat they think about this section 043 of the revised s amtes, when the t • uth is that it enacted in 1833, during Gen- er.il Jackson’s a*immist rat ion and npou his recommendation. You wul hod by rei.diug his famous anti l uihticatioi message that Preoident Jackson rt (erred to a similar law that had been temporarily rlacod on the Matuie Ik* k during Madison's admin istration, j ist at me close of the last war with K iglaud, and adv.i**d that it be revived. This section 043 is that iaw ; it was vot* *1 for by many of the iradirg southeVn men then in congress aud approved by Jackson, his legal ad viser at hat time being Attorney Gen eral R B Taney.” "1 suppose it is almost impossible to break up illicit distilling in tue south,” rems'ked the Tiioune man. "Yes,” replied Mr. Aktrman, “the most that can be done is *o prevent it from assuming larger proportions. Hn ui- n engaged in it live in the moun tains remote from market. Their cbiel crop is corn, which they cannot sell, as the coat ot trausporang it wou d be c*or« than «vnld be obtained for it. They, therefore, distil it into whisky which is more portable aud more pois- bie They like to make it; they tike to sell i\ they like to drink it, and they don’t like to pay the tax on it. They have always made it and are onl> fallowing in the foctuepe of their fa:here and grandfathers from whom they;thmk they inherited (he light. 1 once heard one of them say that ne’d >ike to kuow what his grandfather "fi ” in the revolu’ion for it ne was not to be allow ed to make a little corn whisky. That is the way they ail teal about it. There are complaints that the law is harshly ed ministered by the Uailed Mates officers, bui I never have seen any evidence that this generally so. It is impossible to get urn id eemiive feelings to do the work of depute marshals in the mountains of the south. Tt ey have to deal with a rough, desperate set of men, and none but r* ugh, desperate men can be induct d to undergo the hardships and take the ri. ka.” "1 see tbst a son of general amnesty has been proclaimed in South Caro line.” * Yes, we bed a similar one m north* era Georgia just at the rfoeecf Presi dent Grant's administration. 1. was decided that all there illicit drillers who had been indicted, or agaras* whom information had been lolged and who would pb ad goilfy sh uld be allowed to go Irer, sentei ce being fua- pended. It was intended, if thsy were caucht rgain violating the law, that thev should be bron/b t up for . entex.ee. Under this older 800 men come into c art at Atlanta, at ihe spring te.m of 1877, and pbwded guilty. Daring the summer of 1877 a crop c corn was r ised and harvested in October and November, and ae it was not ripe in time, very few case* came before the court at the tall term of last year. But this spring the d* ck«*t cf tbe court was again crowd'd with new ctses.” Tmh*» ? - eirwm. Spcd'l disrate*** *.o Tne (ucMtmtloa. X*w Yoke, Au,a.i 24. F B.

V Good win, a email farmer residing on the Louwille rood.on the line oi Chatham and Effingham counties, by Mi. W. D. B. Miliar, a yonng man well known in this e mmanity. The unfortunate affair occnned in the store of Mr R. B. Hillyard, at the corner ol Ball and B onghton streets, one of the moet prominent business places in the city, and at an hoar when the stieets weie thronged with people. The news quickly spread and in a few minutes tne streets were blocked with people, and the crowd surged into the store, eo eag-r was their cariosity. Mr. Util- yard was absent at the time on bnsi- neea bat returned a few seconds after the shooting snd had the doors of the sure closed ontil the arrival of the coroner, who had been sent for. Policeman Morgan, who waa on the opposite corner from the store, heard the reports snd saw tbe flash, and saw Mr. Millar firing He at once rushed over to the store, npon reaching which he discovered a man lying on the floor weltering in bis blood, and saw Mr. Millar behind the counter, who said be wonld surrender. He thereupon carried him off to tbe barracks. It appears that About twen ty minutes past Kor Mr. Millar entered Mr. Hiilyard's store and was standing near the conoter at 'he rear, when Mr. Gold win came in the door from th, Broughton street side, but for wbat pur pose is not known. Uo seeing Mr. Mi.. isr, he appeared excited, and some re marE was made by him, ihe purport of which the clerk, who was near by, conld not understand. Mr. Millar immediately drew his pistol, andcom- menod firiug rapidly upon Good*in, who, it is stated, tell at the second shot, but two other shots were fired after wards, both oi which, it seem-, took effect. Dr. Buns, who afterwarus ex amined the body, elated he found five pistol shot wounds, altliougb the ar resting officer said he heard bnt lour reports. As the foregoing indicates, this sadden sod terrible affair was the resnlt ol some previous trouble, and the details ol that we will re late as briefly as onr duty will admit. Some mourns ago a grown daugh ter of Mr. Wm. V. Goodwin in: .mied her parents that sue oad been be rayed. When pressed by her father to reveal her betrayer, she etated he was Mr. Jlillar. The result ol this development was an interview between Goodwin and Millar, in which the latter denied theciarge, and, we believe, challenged investigation. Afterwards a criminal action was brought against Millar, which was subjected to the usual law's delay. Meanwniie Goodwin, we hear, had written several threatening ietters to Millar, who had him arrested and indicted by the grand jury, and, we think, be was placed unuer bonds. No farther proceedings, so far as we know, were taken in the case. Good win ia in the habit of coming to town to sell hia produce, but, if we are cor rectly inf rrmed, bad not met Millar on any of these trips. Whether the meet ing in the store yesterday was a chance one oi not can not now be determined. Mr. Millar, it aeema, thought it was not. and remembering the prerio a thrush, fired upon Goodwin with fatal reenlL On examination of the body ol G rod wio, no weapons ot any kind were iouud.

Editob) Coxstitutiox : Owing to the lapse of time and the haste with which my last communicition was written, I fell into an error which is o ' offirient importance to be corrected Ia 1874 Dr. Felton did not announce himself, as etated in said communica tion, "an independent democratic can didate for congress, in opposition to the regular nominee of the party.” Oa t he contrary.be declared himself a can- d ite on the 15 h day of June, 1874, OVXB TWO MONTH* IN ADVANCE OP THE KOMWATIOM OF MB TB AM BELL, which did not take place until the 21 of September. It was not in opposi tion to Mr Trammell therefore,tbat he look the field, bat it was in opposition to the regular nominee ot the party, whoever he might be, unless it should be Judge Lester, as he is re ported to have subsequently admitted in a public speech delivered in Mini * etta. Prior to the publication of his card, in 1874, it w<»s not known to tha peonle of this congressional district that Dr. Feiton had any special cause of' plaint against the democratic ] its ancient method of selecting didates. If abases hsd crept into the party, it was his duty to try to correct those abuses inside the party. The fact that he made no such attempt at reform, .coupled with his sudden and unexpefcttd announcement, justifies the conclusion that it was not ue correc tion of any supposed evils in the meth ods of the par:y that be sought to rem edy, so much as his own individual am bition, which he was anxious to gratify. There can be no escape from this con clusion when it iB remembered that he announced himself a candidate the sec ond time in 1876, in advance of the nominal on by the party, and again for the third time in 1878, long be fore the convention had assem bl'd. Having been elected in 1874, one would suppose that he would have a waited the action of the conven tion m 1876, to see what was the effect of his peculiar efforts at reform outside the party organization before again an nouncing himself, and especially would he have pursued this course in 1878, after his success at tbe last e.ectiun. And even after his last annour-cftmeni one wonld tappose that he would have withdrawn from the ontest upon the nomination of Jqdge L»ster if he was sincere when he declared, iu 1874, that he would have retired if such a man as the judge had been selected as the' stanoard-bearer of the party.- His fail ure to adopt the course here indicated, leaves the candid reader in no doubt that his complaints against "the ring,” aoscalled, were a.l a snallow subterfuge and a sham, behind which he sought to conceal his own selfish and ambitions purpi ses. I make no charge sgainst Dr. Felton myself, but he hat nimeell alone to blume if, in view of the ab »ve facts, tl e impression should be gradually ex tending throughout the district that he iiji clerical uem gogoeof tie first water He is a man ol excellent character and m irked abilities, but thinking men cannot fail to deplore his course. ;They cannot fail to recall tbe jact that our history furnishes scarcely an example where a clergyman, upon whatever pretext, descended from the pulpit to engage in political col fiicts, that he was not found in the end to be as vain and selfish and ambitious as the rest of us. The "Christian statesman” so-called, J am sorry to say, almost invariably turns out to be a snifflmg and sancti monious demagogue I pray that the doctor, who is a gifted exbcrier and an effectivo pre.vcher, and for whom per sonally I have great respect, may prove an exception :o the rale. People may d ffer as they *- lease abml Mr.Tr mmel ,as they do at‘oit all public men, but it was a sad uay for the seventh district, as it may prove to be for tbe slate of Georgia, when be was forced : to retire from the field. It is now plain enough, as it was then to observing men, that he would have been elected; aud that would have been the end of F\dtoni9m and itidepend* entism in Georgia. Bat the course pursued by certain newspapers and especially by certain party leaders who probably felt that the nomination should have been given to them, seemed to create tbe ne cessity for his withdraw. 1; whereas no such necessity really existed. He was urged to subordinate his own claims to the good < f the party, aud we witness the result cf the step then taken in the spread of independeutisui in the state. We are now threatened with an "inde pendent” candidate iu the first congred sional district, in which it is not preten ded t.tat there ia any “ring.” At d so in the sec >nd district, whose democratic rep resentative iu congress has made a re cord which is not surpassed by that of any member of either house, since the war. In the former distric*; there waB "indepeudeni,” self-nominated dem ocrat, (so-cdled) candidate at the last eleciiou, and it is probable there will be another this year. Iu the fifth dis< trie., it is understood that another citi zen, who would inflate the currency as ne has inflated himself, and who has as little fitness tor the position to which he aspires as be has f r th** command of the army of the United Spates, is supposed to be getting read*, to lead tbe "independent” cohort. A smart ish youLg lawyer from Athens has already nominated himselt an "inde pendent” candidate in the ninth district agtinst one of tDe ablest and purest men in the state— a man to> who, like Judge Lshter, was chosen openly and fairly, and without auy agency of his own. And.this political youngster— what earthly cla.m has he npon the party or upon the people? Without claims of auy kind, without experience, ind withou a conviction on any sub ject, he furnisha fresh i Lustration of be ruth that •‘Fools ia h in where sngela fesr to tread.’ Her * we have sem-t oi tne fraim of Dr. Felton's ind. p indent move ment in the seventh tricL This movement, if not checked, v ill extend to the election of members c f the legislature and county fficers, and finally to the formation of i mongrel party cf wlrte9»aud blacks.

Very few fiae peaches were on the table, lor the reason that this fruit is rapidly on the decline, owlug to the lateness of the season. S >me fiae gripes and pears were shown by different members of the society, and upon these principally were the discussions based. Dr Hape moved that Mr Mvk Johnson be appointed to nqiest Mr W W Woodruff, of Gtif* fin. to furnish the society an article npon the best manner of shipping pears, which waa adopted, and Ur Johnson consented to confer with Mr Woodruff iu the matter. Colonel I W Avery moved that a committee of tour members of the society be appointed to confer with tbe various railroads aud endeavor to get a reduction of rates on shipuien s of fruit The motion was carried, aud Messrs J D Cun ningham, I W Avery, Dr Samuel Hape and S T Jenkins appointed a* the committee. Dr Hape stated to the society that he was in receipt ol a drcu'ar from London, which re quested the society to thlp pears across the water.
