SMITH and ROI3T. P. MILAM Editors and Proprietors. Cartersville Ga, Sept. 27, 1867 nii ■■■ m■ mi i nma—■ nr The “Eight Case.’* lIIS ACQUITTAL AND RELEASE Our readers have heard much during the last week concerting the “Light case,” and, intense interest having been manifested in the case during its progress, we propose, now, as the mat ter has finally ended, to give our read ers a true version of the affair, as we have been able to gather it. We have determined to submit the facts fully ami impartially to our readers, as we learn, with m>ach regret, that many false and exaggerated rumors have gain ed circulation which do great injustice to the military authorities. From all that we can learn ai the adjourned term of the Superior Court, about the last of July, Win, Light and others, were tried before tits niniv*, a-.. ,• • i.l -j,- the charge of having murdered in this Cos., about the day of 1864, and by the verdict of the Jury were all ac quitted. After the acquittal of Mr. Win. Light in that case, a suspicion, (and, we have no doubt, an unfounded suspicion,) arose, that, although under bond to appear and stand his trial at this terra of the Court under the charge of having murdered J. L. Satterfield in this county, on the 18tli day of No vember, 1861, that. l:e would lire the country and not appear for trial. These fears were not entertained by the sure ties upon his bond, but by others. Un der these circumstances he was arrest ed, by order of Gen. Pope, and kept in custody by the military until the court was ready to try him. 'There being none but a temporary and insecure jail in this county, he was kept in mil itary custody at Rome. Court being in session he was brought here from Rome under guard for trial. On Thursday of last week the case was taken up. 'The prosecution was con- ducted by the Solicitor General, J. 11. Parrott, and Col. Henry P. Farrow, of Atlanta; the defence by Gen. Wm. T. Wofford and Col. J. A. W. Johnson, of Dalton. The argument in the case closed on last Monday evening, and the Jury, after being out until Wednes day 5 o’clock, P. M., returned with a verdict of “»o/ guilty," whereupon, b\ special order, Mr. Light was released from military arrest. Tiie following is the order relieving him : HDQR’S THIRD MIL. DIST., ) Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 25, 1867. j Special Orders No. 183. EXTRACT. 2»: It. —William Light, citizen, prison er, arrested pursuant to instructions from these Headquarters, dated August G, 1867, and now on trial belore the Superior Court of Bartow County, Cartersvilie, Georgia, will, upon the termination ol his trial, be surrendered to the civil authorities. 3*C By command of Brevet Maj. Gen l Pope. 11. Clay Wood, Asst. Adj. Gen. Official : G. Iv. Sanderson. Capt. 33d U. S. Infantry, Act. Asst. Adj’t Gcn’i. Many persons have thought that Mr. Lio-ht, by order of the military, was on trial ilte second time for the same of fence, when, in truth, the trial which he has been undergoing during the past week, has no connection whatever with the trial he underwent a tew weeks ago. j The prosecution was faithfully, vig orously, and ably conducted bv Messrs. Parrott and Farrow. They discharged j their duty—their whole duty, and noth | ing but their duty. Mr. Light has been triuii’ohantly acquitted, and we congratulate him on his acquittal. He is a voung in in of fine character—made a good soldier—has been acquitted of all charges—and we trust will live a long life of usefulness in our county. When a soldier he may have done some things, in war, under orders, which in ..he view of civil law appear ed to be criminal. lie is now acquit ted, by a jury of his county, of each and every charge. It is truly gratifying, too, to see that all the false rumors which gained cir culation concerning the military were so utterly destitute of foundation, and, that upon his acquittal by the civil Courts, he was promptly released by the military. Many of these rumors, we have no doubt, were put in circula tion by persons opposed to Reconstruc tion for political purposes. It is ap parent, from the above order, that the military have only been auxilliary to, and not subversive of, the civil courts. We beg our citizens to receive with caution all the wild and foolish rumors, which are continually being circulated to the prejudice of Gen. Pope and his staff. Those who origin and circu late them, have political objects in view. Our readers should remember that Geu. Pope, his Judge Advocate— Gen. Dunn, and his chief ol civil affairs —Col. James F. Meliue, are all gen tlemen of the highest order—we learn Christian gentlemen—men who, under no circumstances . ever permit their intellect or judgement to be impaired by intoxicating drink. We are indeed fortunate, while living under military Government, in having at the head of that Department, before which come all matters pertaining to civil affairs, such an able and efficient chief as Col. Meline. lie is represent ed by those who know him best, as a gentleman of great learning, of enlarg ed and liberal views, of kind and affable manners, of a penetrating and discrim inating mind. While he must and will perform the duties which devolve upon him under the Reconstruction laws, we ■' rn assured he has a kind and sym pathising heart. We learn that the Sheriff, William L. Goodwin, His Honor judge Milner, and the prosecuting Attorney, petitioned Gen. Pope for the release ol Mr. Light, whereupon it was ascertained that the Gen., without solicitation, from any source, had issued tiie above order. Wc do hope that individuals and newspapers will cease abusing the military and reconstruction, unless; they are better informed upon vvliat they are talking about, £’£s“’ Atlanta Advektisemenxts, Attention is invited to the following Atlanta houses : The American Hotel, by White 4' Whitlock, Proprietors, and Bryson 4" Wiley, Clerks.
