TRIAL OFTHK COLUMBUS PRISONERS.
Eiftliteenth. Day.
Monday, July 20, 1868.
The Commission met at the usual hour-
The testimony of yesterday was read.
TESTIMONY OF BOSWELL ELLIS.
By Mr. Stephens—I live in Columbus ; I
was confined to my bed of sicknees the night
A9bburn was killed; my sleeping apartments
were up-stairs oa Broad street m what is
known as McGee's building, in the northwest
corner; there were several persons had
apartments on the same floor; Mr. Bedell oc
cupied the room directly east from mine ;
I did not hear him comiDg to his room that
night; I usually hear him when I am in my
own room; I had been sick for a week or ten
days, and sat up that atiernoou but retired to
my room very much exhausted; on account
ot the exhaustion and the influence of ihe
medicine I slept unnaturally sound in the
early part of the night; X awoke between the
hours of twelve and one o’clock; I recollect,
but I can’t toll how far before that I heard
Mr. Bedell’s clock strike one, and from that
time out I did not shut my eyes; I did not
go to sleep before day; I think if Mr. Bsdeli
Had gone in or come oat of bis room, I would
have heard him, for I can always hear while
everything is quiet, even an ordinary con
versation in bis rjom; there is a door open
ing from my room to his; there is a ward-
rooe standing against it; I am very often
awaked by his coming; it is not an unusnal
occurrence; I know bis habits during the
time he has been engaged in the office, and
to my knowledge he has been kept op to a
very late hour at night—sometimes to be
tween one and two o'clock, doting the cotton
season. I know of no case of his being out
at night; 1 don’t think i ever knew him to
attend a public meeting of a political charac
ter; I can’t recollect that he ever wore his
hair down over the shoulder; there is no car
pet in his room; there may be a piece near
nisbed;Ican near, distinctly, any person
walking in his zoom; I know his walk from
other people's; he came in my room between
eight and nine o'clock next morning, and
asked me if I had heard him coming in last
night: I told him that I did not, and in reply
be told me that he had come in at an early
boar of the night; be told me he had learned
that be was suspected of having been en
gaged in the assassination; I told him
that if he had come in after one o’clock
I would have heard him, bnt if he had
come in in the early part of the night J
would not, I thought, have heard him;
I know of none that I should have taken for
him at anytime; I have seen a party whose
name was given to me as HadsoD, and 1
thought be looked somewhat like Bedell; I
think hia general height and size correspond
with Mr. Bedell; Iknow We. H. Brannan;
his appearance corresponds, bnt 1 think his
height would not—be is not quite so tall; bis
beaid is worn in the same style; I know
Major Bradley; he is a stouter man than
Bedell, but not so tall, and wears a long
black beaid; there was no way of getting in
or out of the honse, except on Broad street;
he could not get ont without jumping or
climbing fences. The water closet is in the
northwest corner of the lot; it is enclosed by
a blank plank fence, within the yard; the
platform which I would have to pass over to
get down to the back lot is about fifteen feet
from the ground, I think; the enclosed space
in.which the water closet is, is about 30 or
40*feet one way, and probably about 40 or 50
feet the other; the space is enclosed by ad
upright plank fence; I have never had occa
sion to observe on which side the fence was
nailed; the fence separates the water closet
and the vacant kitchen from the main yard,
and that separates the yard of Dr. Ekhart
from the clcset.
The following was submitted to the Conrt
by counsel for the defense:
The credit of the witnesses Underwood,
Reese, Tucker and Parham, nor the priso
ner Duke, having been attacked on cross-
examination. counsel for defense now pro
pose to offer the testimony of Hon. Hiram
Warner. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Georgia, to support the credit of the im
peached witnesses.
The following is the reply:
The counsel for the prosecution object to
the admission of the testimony, on the
ground that the credit of the witnesses
named has not been attacked. They were
carried through a sifting cross-examination
with the view of testing the strength and ae
curacy of their memory. The counsel for
the prosecution distinctly state that they
make no charge that the witnesses named are
notgentlemen of veracity.
The proposition was withdrawn.
On the searching and tedions cross-exami
nation of the witness by Gov. Brown, the
- full report of which we omit, as containing
nothing conflicting with his direct testimony,-
he said:
If Bedell wished to go ont of his room
Monday,
BENATE.
Mr. Winn reported the following - resolu-
Hesolved, by the General Assembly of ( the
Provisional Government of Georgia, That a.
joint Committee of Three from the Senate,
and five from the House of Representatives
be appointed (the .House ooueuiriDg) with
instructions to'report such preamble and re
solutions as may be proper to be adopted by
the General Assembly in order to carry this.-
State into the Union nnder the legislation- 6t t 1
Congress on that subject, and that all propo
sitions relating to that matter be referred (o
said committee. /[ |
Mr. Merrill thought the resolution was
premature; we were not as yet an organized
body. We had io accordance wiih a resolu
tion proceeded to investigate -the eligibility
of members, and the Governor-informed of
theaction of the Senate, aqd .we'had heard
nothing from him. He thought, therefore,
we should wait until we heard thror~ L * L “
Governor his decision. He moved to lay
the resolution on the iable for the present,}
which was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Spear, the Senate toj
a recess for thirty minutes, when on again
re-assembling, a message was received from
the Provisional Governor, through Hr.' De-
Graffenreid, his Secretary, and is as follows.

in demanding these measures and reforms we ar
raign the Radical party for lta disregard of right and

marked its career. After a meet solemn and imam-
moos pledge of both Houses of Congress to prosecute
too war exclus.Vely for toe malnteosnci or the gov

OonsticnUoo, It has reneatediy violated that mo«t sa
cred pledge under which alone rallied that noble vol
unteer a, my which carried oar flag to victory.
Instead ol restoring toe Union, it has so lar as in its
power dissolved it and snojeoiod ten States, u time
of profound peace, to military uespotism and negro
supremacy, it uas nullified lucre the right of trial
oy jury; it has abolished the habeas corpus, that most
sacred writ of liberty; It hasovertnrowu toe lreedom
or speech and toe press; it haa substituted arbitrary
seizures and arrest*, anil military trials and secret
star chamber Inquiailions lor toe constitutional trl-
ouuals; It has disregarded in time or peace the right
oLtoe people to bs free from searches and seizures;
it has entered the post and telegraph offices, arm
even tbe prlvate -rooms or inaivlduals,' aad seized
caelr private papers and letters without any specific
charge or notice of affidavit, aa required by tne or
ganic law; it lias converted the American capitol Into
a bastl.e; it has ejtahlished a symstem oi spies and-
official espionage to whloh no coniuthtlonal mon-
eo in tbe early part of the night, but in the
latter part he could not have done so with
out great care. I swear that I believe he did
Dot go out that night. I can’t swear that he
did not, of my own knowledge. I don’t
know that anybody entered his room in the
morning before he went ont. I might have
heard them if they did.
At the close ot the cross-examination, st
the request of Mr. Stephens, who was un-
-weil, the Court adjourned to '10 a. m. to

Raw Head and Bloody Bones III Ulinrlci-
lon.
During ‘the latter part of fast week a
rumor Became wide-spread among -the
colored people of Charleston, and! among
many of the whites, which, for a time, pre-
duced much consternation. We have been
at some trouble to investigate, the matter,
and the facts are these: On Friday morning
the children of the St. Philip street Public
School, became alarmed and panic; Stricken
at the appearance of a gentleman, -whom'
they said, had tbe appearance of, a red man
with protruding horns. This bloody bonea
man bad made bi9 appearance in a: very
mysterious manner and frightened the
children out of their wits. On tbq same
day this representative of his Sataniq majesty
paid tbe Morris street (colored) school a
visit, and created such a consternation among
the little woolly pates. as has seldom beeu
witnessed Before. Wild rumors flew about the
city of the presence of the .Ku Klux-
Klan- .Tha children shrieked;in tear, and
distracted parents ran about in frantic search

Singular and Painful Accident—A Hus
band Shoots Hia Wife by Mistake.—We
- are extremely pained to learn that Mr. John
McAfoy, a worthy citizen of this place, ac
cidentally inflicted a severe wound upon his
wife yesterday morning, about one o’clock,
under the following circumstances:
Mr. MoAioy lives id that part of our city
designated as “Texas,” and it seems was
awakened yesterday morning by hearing,
f Osome noise iu the lower part of his dwelling,
. ant} the house adjoing him having been en
tered by a bnrglar a short time ago, his sus
picions were aroused. Wakening his wife,
He seized his pistol, arose and started down
stairs. Unfortunately, Mrs. McAfoy left tbe
bed at the same time, getting out on tjie op-
and bloody head.” The teachers of the
schools'finally snccceeded in calming the
pupils, ahdrihe matter had nearly ,been for
gotten, when yesterday (he whole school
was again thrown into a panio. by a second
advent of the apparition. No. explanation of
this mysterious affair had been made: The
pupils when questioned gave incoherent re-
plies and exhibited .undoubted signs of alarm
and consternation, and the teachers, with:
difficulty, quieted them. We are reanested
by the Principals of the St. Phillip street
aod Moyris street schools to state that' n<5
person: who was not. authorized, had been
ioside of the premises, and that the whole
affair probably arose from the mysterious
ftfl fgftqcouptable.disappearance of the
child of Mr. SflvorstGiir* which w&3 snhsc-
qnentiy found dead. The schools are well
attended, and-it-is hoped will not be again
visitedbythw.bngbsar who frightensthe
poor .little children igq badly.—

dyspepsia or liver-complaint T
Now, reader, self-abnse. venereal diseases
badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all ca
pable of producing a weakness ot tbe gen
erative organs. Tbe organs of generation,
when in perfect health, mase the man. Did
yon ever think that those nold, denant, en
ergetic, persevering, successful business men
are always those whose generative organs
are in perfect health ? Yon never near sneb
men complain of being melancholy, ot ner
vousness, of palpitation or the heart. They
are never afraid they cannot succeed in busi
ness; they don’t become saa and discour
aged; they are always polite and pleasant in
the company of ladies, and look yon and
them right in the facer-hone of yonr down
cast looks or any other meanness about
them. I do not mean those who keep the
organs inflamed by running to excess. These
will not only ruin their constitutions, bnt
also those they do business with or for.
How many men from badly-cored diseases,
from the effects of self-abn.-;, and excesses,
have brought about that date of weakness,
in those organs that has reduced the general
system so muoh as to indnee almost every
other 'disease—idiocy, lunacy, paralysis,
spinal affections, suicl l . dna'almost every
other form ol disease "lieu humanity is
heir tp, and the real c~'ice of the trouble
scarcely ever snspecte t rnd nave aoctored
for all bat the rign; cos.
Diseases of these organs require the use
of a dinretio.
