Two cases of vital interest to the citi zens of our city were tried on Saturday last, Justices Johnson and Callaway pre siding in the case of Policeman T. W. Lee, and Justice Johnson in the case of W. W. Wheeler. As the charge against each was the same, and the evidence elicited the same, we will briefly state the first case: The State "I T W Lee i' imprisonment. W. W. Wheeler. J Goode k Lumpkin Plaintiffs Att’y., and Fort k Hollis for Defendant. This action was brought by Levi John son who was arrested and imprisoned by Lee and Wheeler in the city guard house on the 9tb, for violating city ordi nance, and kept there nntil 10 o’clock the following day, when ho was brought out for trial before his Hon. R. C. Black, Mayor. At the request of Mr. Johnson his case was postponed nntil 3 o'clock, at which time he rendered a plea of guilty to the charges preferred against him for violations of city ordinance. The plaintiff’s counsel iu this suit tained —That the arrest aud imprison ment were illegal inasmuch as tho plain tiff was arrested and imprisoned without due process of law ; and hence his arrest was in direct violation of the provision of the Constitution of the United States and of Georgia, which guarantees the personal liberty of every citizen. They further argued that Lee and Wheeler were not city officers within the meaning of tho provisions of the city Charter having failed to comply with its require ments in not giving bond for their faith ful performance of duty, and also, that their appointment having been made by the Mayor was a nullity in that the city Charter confers on the “Mayorand City Council" the right of electing city ofii- and this right could not by any diuanco of Council be transferred to the Mayor. And also, that, according to the terms of the city Charter, the Mayor alone was not invested with authority to try 'violators of its ordinances—the Mayor d Council alone having such power.— The last proposition was incidentally brought forward, as it was irrelevant to .A young lady in our town aaw in a wicked paper that if two young ladies would each take a pole of a galvanic bat tery in one hand, then complete the cir cuit by kissing, that the sensation upon the lips was exactly that of the pressure of a mustache.

A large number of pocket bat teries have been ordered, so that hereaf ter when the “gals” meet and kiss, as is their custom, they can just lay back and shut their eyes, and fully enjoy the satis faction of feeling a gentleman’s lips pressed to their’s. ££»** Chemistry is furnishing us new agents for fuel, force, food, and many other important aids over those wo once possessed.

Read their advertisement. It is useless to say that the Plaintiff’s Attonie3’8 acquitted themselves hand somely. The points made by defendants Attor neys were first: That the provisions of the Constitution of the.United States and of Georgia were not violated by the ar rest and imprisonment of Mr. Johnson ii that he was not charged with any offence against the “ peace and dignity ” of the State, which would require a warrant, bnt with violations of municipal law—c crime unknown to tho statute and for which no warrant conld be issued. Secondly—That Lee nnd Wheeler legally appointed, in that the Conncil had conferred on the Mayor the right to make sacli appointments, and that under such appointment they had the right to make the arrest and imprison the plain tiff as provided for in Section 2(5. Third—That Section XI leaves it dis cretionary with the Mayor and Council to say who shall file a bond before entering on the discharge of the duties of his of fice and to assess the amount of bond, and that said section did not contemplate the establishment of a city guard lice force, but had reference solely to the city Marshal, who at that time was Mar shal and Clerk and Treasurer, and who was privileged to have a deputy. The latter office being abolished, and the election of Clerk nnd Treasurer trans ferred to the people, tho section was a nullity only in so far as to provide for the election of Marshal and the assessment of his bond and that of the Clerk and Treasurer; that under Section 2G the city guard or police force was organized and which did not provide for any assess ment of bond or oath of office. Hence this appointment was legal, and under the powers conferred by Section 2G they arrested and imprisoned the plaintiff, neglected to state in its proper con nection that the plaintiff’s attorneys . ar gued that their client had proffered to give bond in any reasonable amount and was refused by the defendants. The de fendant’s attorneys replied by saying that they were not the proper officers to as sess or receive bonds, and if they bad done so tho bond would have been ille gal, and of coarse of no force or effect. The defendant’s attorneys, though young, conducted their case with marked ability. At the conclusion of the lead ing Conncil’s argument for the plaintiff the jury was charged by Justice Calla way, when they retired and made np a Mil Editor—Upon my arrival from Macon, on Friday last, I was asked by you and others the usual question- What’s tho news?” My reply was, nothing but tho marriage of Mr. Riley,of this place, and Miss Thompson, of At lanta, on Monday, the 13tli inst. It was all the talk in Macon during my short so journ there, having heard it from a dozen different persons. I thought its publicity Macon should not prevent me from telling it hero; indeed, I attached but little importance to an affair of such corn- occurrence, for other people have married besides Mr. Riley and Miss Thompson, and a large majority of them don’t care a fig who knows it. Upon the information derived from me was predi cated the marriago not ice which appeared in your last Saturday’s issue, and to my astonishment, I heard that Mr. Riley publicly denounced tho publication as a base fabrication and slander. A I heard of Mr. Riley’s ridiculous conduct I assumed the authorship of said notice, and requested you not to withhold my While I disclaim any intention to per secute Mr. ltiley, or array the good name of his wife before the public, at the same timo I feel iu honor bound to ^vindicate my word, by repeating that Mr. Riley and Miss Thompson were married city of Macon, on the 13tli inst., presence of Mr. Harris and many other respectable witnesses.
