SECOND DISPATCH; ■ In the Ku-Klux trial to-day the defense was engaged in proving, by many wit nesses, the terror existing among the whites in the up country at the time of the alleged outrages. The- testimony showed that Jim Williams, the negro captain of the militia, had threated to slay the whites from the cradle up. and to apply ,the torch. William Bratton, colored, testified that ho was a lieutenant in William’s company and was reduced to the ranks on account of his dissent from Williams’ violent measures. .. »,*. , • The defense asked further time to bring witnesses to show that the K‘u-EJux was organized of self-protection, and .had ceased to exist of itself.; .V V: w., j. After hearing rebutting evidence from the prosecution the Court adjourned. Ar- ate are due, und are hereby tendered, to' Hon. B. B.

The journal of the day was read. Mr. Nicholls moved to reconsider the resolution of Mr. Burns, notifying the Hue that the Senate will be ready to adjourn at 9 j o’clock, which motion pre- vailed.

( i' H ‘** r * 1V 1' A Louse resolution that both Houses of the General Assembly adjourn sine die at 12 o’clock was concurred in. The hour of 12 o’clock having arrived, Mr. Hillyer,invoking a parting word from the. 1 “resident, moved that the Senate do now adjourn sine die. The President said: Senators, allow me to return you my heartfelt thanks for tho charity and forbearance which you have mani fested towards my imperfections and short-comings as your presiding officer, and for kindness and courtesy that you have extended to mb on all occasions. Trusting that when you repair to your homes, and mingle with those that you have served so earnestly; ably and patri otically, you shall meet with that plaudit, which you so justly merit, of “Well done, good and faithful servants,” and that, with increased wisdom and renewed hopes, we may all be again permitted to meet for tho purpose of finishing that work which you have so ably begun, I' bid you all adieu. I now declare this Senate adjourned. house of representatives. House met at 9 o’clock f. m., Speaker Smith presiding. The Senate report on tho State of the Republic was read. Mr. Head said that he spoke on these resolutions because the 38th Senatorial District lias been maligned by its Sena tor in saying that it was by violence that lie (Mr. Head) occupied his seat. Mr. Head said that in 1854 Mr. Brock came from Alabama, and he was driven to this State by reason of having committed the same offense that put A. A. Bradley in Sing Sing in I860. He was a Justice of the Inferior Court, and yet, after the war, he took the test oath and sworo he had never held an office. He was registrar, appointed his own managers and elected himself to the office he now holds.— Ho took tho oath to support the Confederate States, and then for a small office he took , the test oath.— As to lawlessness, there were two special indictments for obstructing the public highway, at the last term of Haralson Superior Court. One was against a Democrat and one was against the Senator from the 38th. The Senior said that lie had to have his house .guarded. If so there was and is no necessity for guards for honest men, be they Radicals or Democrats. There never was a a more quiet set of people in the world than the Democrats of Haralson and- there never was a set of grander rascals than the Republicans that live there. In 1863 tho Senator was in the woods, he had volunteered but forgot the time to meet his officers. The resolutions were adop ted. Mr. Hndson offered a resolution ten dering the thanks of the House to Hon. J. M. Smith, Speaker, for the able, dig nified and impartial manner in which he has discharged his official duties; ad .ipted. Speaker Smith responded in a neat speech, tendering h"s thanks for the com pliment. . . A resolution, by .r. Dell, tendering the thanks of the Honse to Hon. J. B. Cumming, Speaker pro tern, for the cour teous and efficient discharge of his.official duties, adopted. Mr. Cumming tendered his thanks in a few appropaiate remarks. The Senate substitute fer tho resolu tion passed in ;he morning session, rela tive to “ Public Printer,” was concurred in. The journal of to-day was read and ap proved. At 12 o’clocK, p.

" -V Washington, December 15.—Mr. jjla, the new Fifth Auditor, assumed the functions of his office to-day. There was a full and long cabinet meet ing to-day. ' . ' The Wabash bus arrived safely at Cadiz. All well. The Republican Senators caucussed this morning, and agreed., to order, a thorough investigation of all the depart ments and branches of service. The committee consists of Senators Bnekingr ham, Howe, Pratt, Harlan, .Stewart, Pool and Bayard. Ex-Senator Williams, who becomes Attorney General on the 10th of Januaiy, was congratulated by bis friends to-night, and made a brief speech. He says: “All the abilities and energies I possess will be devoted to the enforcement of the laws and the suppression of violence, disorder and crime. I promise all whom it may concern that when I am placed at the head of the Department of Justice, so far as the jurisdiction of that Department may go, its mandate wul be dispensed without fear or favor, and with equal rigor and respect for all classes and con ditions of men.

They utterly, refute the presumptuous “jassumptions” of Mr. Senator Morton, that the Union of States, antler the Constitution, is not a'Federal Union, but a Consolidated Sovereignty, and that the States have no rights ex cept such as may be granted to-them by the Central Dynasty.’ We regret our space will not allow us to give these pa pers to our readers.

He was private .secretary for Mayor Gunther of this city, and wrote tho famons anti-illuminating veto message, which called forth a very able and noble letter from the Hon. Charles O’Couor.

A n 1st dr y of the Malicious and Villain ous Prosecution of the Dade Connty Prisoners. Mr. Anderson is well known to us, and to many people in Georgia. He was not born in Atlanta, nor in its vicinity, nor in the State of Georgia. He is a native of Del aware, and of honorable parentage.

The new Attorney General is amazed that any considerable number; at this, time, should engage in violence and dis-. order, for there is nothing to gain and much to lose.

Phelps, for many years member of Con gress from the southwestern part of Mis souri, and for a long time chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, has written a letter on the passive policy,* which will he published in the Times of this city to-morrow. Mr. Phelps says, among other things: fi I have opposed the passive policy from the outset; it is an abandonment of prin ciple, and will be destructive to the or ganization of the Democratic party. What can be gained by those who be lieve in a strict construction of the Con stitution, who liave.opposed a centraliza tion of power in the Government of the United States, who have resisted the at tempted oveer throw of the rights of the States, who have opposed the trial of citi zens by military commissions, who have resisted the deprivation of the citizen of the riglit of trial by jury—by the adop tion of this new heresy and the support of men who have fought us .relentlessly on all these questions ? There is no “Liberal” party in this State, whatever. There was no value in the liberal move ment in Missouri, in 1870, but was derived from principles- of the Democratic party. The duty of the Democracy is to prepare for the coining contest. Gen. Grant is not the leader of his party. He adopts LaGRANGE. Closing Exercises of the South ern Female College. LaGrange, December 15. * Last night the closing exercises of the Southern Female College came off at the bcantilp) new chapel of the institute. They consisted of a rendition of the charming little operetta ot “Laila,” in which the music class of the college acted , the prin cipal characters. The whole affair was conducted by Miss Sallie Cox, the ac complished daughter of the Principal, and was enthusiastically received by the large audience in attendance.

H. Tatum to pve a bond of t?2,o00 for his AH of Northeast Georgia has for some days beeu anxiously awaiting the result of the investigation of the charges preferred against about thirty- five of the most respectable citizens of Daile county. Two of these prisoners have been bound over in the sum of $2,- 500 each for trial by one of the United States Commissioners of this place, in dignation will succeed surprise when it is announced that the expounder of the law which lias been so contorted and mutila ted to implicate these prisoners, was one venerable (?) John L. Conley, a stripling of, perliaps, four-and-tweuty summers, who, when lie was expounding the law to the learned counsel in this case, presented the picture of a child teaching: Solon; w’hp also received $11,- 500 from the State Treasury for about S100 worth of work. .- I\ e- had opportunities of converting with the prisoners, witnesses, and other citizens of Dade, who were not arraigned in this examination, and from them we have obtained the following reliable and impartial explanation of .this unfounded prosecution of the honest and innocent citizens of the county of Dade. It seems that one Asa Boydston, living on the lino of Alabama and Georgia, but within Alabania during the war, too cow ardly to volunteer as a soldier, frequented the mountains, and at every opportunity committed thefts, robbed defenseless wo men and helpless children, and ravaged the homes of families of soldiers in the armj!? and was guilty of innumerable dep redations not tolerated by any civilized government. After the war, being sev eral times detected in thieving and other misdemeanors, he soon forfeited the re spect of every honest man in the vicinity. During this winter he very snddently left the county, but returned about two weeks ago in company with one James Skyles, who seemed to be employed by the. Government for arresting parties un der the Ku-Klux acts of Congress, and under the proclamations of Bullock, to get.the rewards offered. .^Arriving at Trenton, Dade county, Boydston . pointed out Mr, R. Haney, who was immediately arrested and placed under guard of a squad of United States soldiers. They then proceeded to Rising Fawn and arrested the postmaster, J. G. Hale, in the act of distributing the mail J. W. Blevins, Road Commissioner, in the act of writing out his report; and fif teen or twenty- more, who were closely and busily engaged in their respective duties,: who were not allowed time for preparation in the bitterly cold weather tliat was then prevailing. Many of the prisoners were compelled to pass the frigid night without shelter and without blankets around a smouldering camp fire, which was but a poor protection :in the tempestuous winds that• howl6d. among those mountainous regions. : The party next proceeded to Chatta nooga, where all were committed to pris on, except T. *W. Sliarroek and W. F. Sbarrock, who were last seen with the United States Commissioner. It is sup posed that,by cajoling, threats and prom ises, these two persons were persuaded to turn Government evidence. They were treated with clemency, and even with special kindness, while all the other pris oners were allowed a bare pittance of fil thy food and were confined in cells which barely admitted the bodies of six men ly ing on their sides. One of the prisoners testified that, while lying down, it was impossible for one man to move without the simultaneous movement of every in mate of the room. While thert£ the offi cer, and commissioners used every device and all thicr eloquence to persuade onejofithe younger sons of Colonel R. H. Tatum—a man of extended influence —to turn Govenment evidence, doubtless hoping that a confession, or treacherous and malicious testimony from such an esteemed. arid reliable source would con vict a'host of innocent citizens. They urged that he ought not “in the bloom of his youth,” to accept certain impris onment-, when the opportunity was pre sented to escape. Young Tatum, with indignation, replied that h8 would suffer the horrors of a life-time imprisonment before he would testify against his own neighbors and involve them in a crime, which, if ever perpetrated at all, was not only without their countenance, • but without their knowledge. His malicious tempters said they would make no more, efforts. -‘If the younger Tatuin would not yield, it was useless to appeal to the older.” So their efforts in that direction were baffled; but they were more successful with the two Sharroeks, who both turned Government evidence. liberty (tf Sevier Powell had been, violated, but he did not state that bis Tights, un der the Enforcement Act, hud been in fringed npon, under which act alone the warrant was issued. Judges of the law, when committing prisoners generally assign seme reason for their action. G. W. M. Tatum was next arraigned. The testimony of Friday was reiterated, and he also was required to give a bond of §2,500 for his appearance at Court. •The counsel for prosecution then gave notice lie would abandon the prosecu tion of all- the other prisoners; hav ing no- evidence agaiist them. The following named prisoners were then discharged: AY. P, Sbarrock, Thos. Sharrock, R. Haney, W. L. Stew art, W. P. Amos, A. McBiyan, J. More land, J. AV. Blevins and J. G. Hale. A warrant was then issued for tlie ar rest of Mr. James A, .O’Neal, for. violat ing the-Enforcement Act; but owing to a defect,’ it was sd6n dismissed. Mr. H. T. AVilson and l^t.-Nicixqls' appeared and .said- they had been arrested nud were unable to say for what 'purpose. There wits no charge against them. Conley professed ignorance of the transaction, and these persons who had been arraigned for noth ing were permitted to depart without any apology or any explanation for this abuse of their time, honor; and liberty. No reparation for lost time and days of hun ger, privation and anxiety. This is liea'p- ing insult on injury, and only becomes accountable when we consider that it was all done at the instigation of a fanatical press whose policy and.qjurpose is to-op pose and insult our people. 1 The following are tlie names of the prisoners and their post-offices, being thirty-five in all: Rising Fawn—Col R H Tatiim, G W M Tatum, AY P H Tatum, Francis M Street, Alfred Street, Gallatin Stephens, Rico Bibles, George Houston, Shade Hale, J G Hale, Ben Buck, A B Hanna, Rev H D Stephens, Rey S Cross, W L Stewart, Lee S Tidwell, Jonathan Blev ins, Hon J W Cureton.

Turned Witness for Qoverrmnent—T. W. Sharrock, W. P. Sbarrock,. John McKaig. P. Sevier Powell, Asa Boydston. \ Colonel R. H. Tatum asserts that these prisoners were arraigned without any knowledge of the cause, and that only four or five knew about what they were to testify. Items.-Jno. McKaig, who is represented as the Grand Cyclops of the Ku-Klux den, (so-called) in Dade county, we learn, wa? a member of tho Loyal League. W. Pi Sharrock,. who turned Government evi dence, we learn, was almost naked when arrested. Mr. A. B. Tatum, clerk of the SuperiorGonrt, provided him with a full suit of clothes; yet Sharrock showed his gratitude(?) after arriving here, by vol untarily testifying against-Mr. Tatum’s brother. P. Sevier Powell belonged to what was termed the Home Guard; which, during the war, robbed the homes of helpless women. Asa Boydston, the secret agent employed to make these ar rests, is a reputed thief, and a warrant has been issued in the State of Alabama for his arrest under charges of thieving and abusing his family. Such are the witnesses—reputed thieves and robbers, and subsidised recreants. The bondsmen of W. P. H. and G. W. M. Tatnm are R. H. Tatum, Larkey Payne, and Leroy Sutton, representing property to. the amount of 8150,000 to 8200,000. The entire party left last night on the 10}- o’clock train.

Closing Scenes in the Senate.—About ten minntes before 12 on Friday night the Legislature, having disposed of the regular business, in order to prolong the session until Saturday, indulged in a lit tle humor and mischief to pass off the time. The resolution to hold the next session of -the Legislature at Milledgeville, was made a matter of personal explanation by Senator Mathews, who stated that he sot out to state that he was in the arms of Mary Ann Morpheus, or ought to be, and iii order that lie be there very soon he wanted to adjourn immediately, bnt would cast an inuendi for tho entertain ment of the Senate, till the hour of ad journment arrived. He was strictly in favor of the constitutionality of the Con stitution, and if Constitutional, then ho suggested that it was Constitutional for * the keeper of the Capitol at Milledgeville to remain there while the Senators run the machine in Atlanta, and for the rea sons mentioned is that The Sun had said nothing about the pestilence of fraud and corruption being in Atlanta, it was Con stitutional to go to Milledgeville to grati fy the keeper of the Capitol, but that he thought that many of the Senators ought to be sent to the keeper of the Peniten tiary on Constitutional grounds. Senator Jones proposed to move the Capitol to Lickskillet. Senator Nunnally wanted it to meet- next time at Hardhead, Pike county. Passed, for one and a half minutes,-when it was resolved, on motion of Senator Bruton, that tho next meeting he held at Lee Smith’s. This went through, but a. -- stinkirig Senator amended by offering, as- the place of permanent meeting, tho name pf Pole Cat Spring. The whole thing slinking, the Senators began tc smell bad, and a proposition to take a nip was agreed ip, on condition that all hands,look “egg flip.” There was a proposition made to fur nish the 42d District with a Senator, and another District with a thousand copies of Fitch’s Radical Star. These people needing a puke, it was agreed that that paper be sent, and that Fitch be sent to Bullock as his right bower; passed. During tlie discussion, Senator Peddy was, like O’Neal, bow;ed down in silent mortification.
