A MIDNIGHT SCENE,
FULL A\D ITTSK CBTI\U PAHTICCLAR9.
Ftimd tf>e foluiutiu* papers of yes
terday, we gdean the followiti(f partic
ulars of the murder of G. W. Aslihurn
late member of the State Constitrtioal
Convention :
location of lhk tragedy.
j He house iu which the nturdei oc
curred, was a ionjr, one story building,
containing three rooms, each back ol
the other. It was rented by Hannnh
Fiouruoy, a yellow negress. The
place is the third door from Jacques’
corner, on tue west side of Oglethorpe
street, nearly opposite the Perry House.
I o the rear is a continuation of the
house—three rooms, all occupied bv
negroes. Ashburu’s room was the
third one from the street. He had
been living in this colored bawdy house
sii.ee he had been driven from the Per
ry House. His room was a low pitched
one, very dirty, with doors on three
suit's and a wooden shutter. Two ta
bles, ore covered with dirty female
clothing, a split-bottom chair, and a
bed covered with a dirt stained conn
terpane, were the only furniture in the
apartment.
APEARAXCK AF THE BODY.
The Sun's reporter savs :
M hen we entered the room yester
day, to be present at the Coroner’s
inquest, the body was lying in the po
sition it had fallen—in the N. VV. cor"
uer. The boose fronts east. He had
ou only a black overcoat and an un
dershirt. A bloody sheet had been
thrown over the body. The wounds
were still bleeding. The face was
quiet and placid—wearing, however, a
bitter, hateful expression even in death.
Between the brows was clotted gore
over the pistol ball hole ilia* had
caused his death. Blood was gathered
in little puddles around the body.—
There were only three wounds in the
body. Die coat had been pi°rced by
eight balls. Indentations of balls were
found—one in the bed and a number
in the wall. Four revolver halls were
pick’d up. Ihe face of the dead was
covered with a short, grizzly beard.
THE EVIDENCE.
i he following evidence wa* given
before Coroner MoCahey ant! Justice
Bust wick—both gentlemen military
appointees. Every one was examined
who could throw any light on the
transaction. The body was lying in
the room untouched all the while, du
ring the four hours trial. Solicitor
Peabody conducted it :
A. CL Bennett, sworn.—l hail been
with Mr. Aslihurn during the night. I
had brer, out and returned between 11
and 12 p. m. I slept in the front room-
Amanda Patterson (white) and Hannah
Flournoy (colosed), were in the mid
dle room—Mr. 4shburn by himself in
the rear one. I heaid persons knock,
ing at the door after I came in—be
tween 12 and 1 o'clock. Pomyqoes
*;~n who was mere, came the reply
“Mary Flournoy, who wants to come
in.” I replied no one could come in
that time ol night. The voices then
said the door would be broken down if
I did not let them in. I rushed to
Ashhurn’s room, telling him the house
was about to be broken open, and
asked him il he had arms. He said
he had a revolver. Wouldn’t give it
to me, as he would use it himself. At
that moment heard crash of slat in
front door. I asked him again for the
pistol. He said they wouldn’t hurt
anybody. I said no trust could be
giver; those who broke in houses.—
Men then rushed by me, ard I ran be
hind a door covered with some cloth
ing, in the middle room . As 1 left Mr.
Aslihurn demanded of the men what
they wanted. The reply was,“you’re
a d— and and one fired, and then
four others standing in the doorway
tired pistols two by two. Fourteen
pistol shots were fired. One man got
down on irs knees, and shot threugh
the of the table—and then said,
“Come boys, let’s go.”
Cross-Examined.—l rushed from the
front room to Ashburn’s. I saw the
five men distinctly. Ashburn didn’t
fire his pistol. [lt lighted tfie candle
before they reached bis room. At first
there was rapping at ail the doors.—
The men were masked as tar as I could
see. Didn’t know any of them. I
was sleepiu by myself.
Amanda Patterson, sworn—Men it
door demanded entrance. It vai re
fused. Poor washrok«,n open. I was
badly scared. All were masked hut
one. One mask fell off as party was
going out door. Could not swear to
! *ry one. Thought there w»rs about
i fifty mr n. itloon was not shining.
During shoot;:*/ I was in iVont room,
ft was cr 'wdeti with men. The one
from whom the mask fell said, -D—n
you, if you tel! on me I’ll kill you.”—
The mask fell at the door.

at room where I was (just in rear of
Ashburn s.) My wife opened window.
Men told her if she didn’t go hark
they would kill her. Left mv house
and went to Ashhurn’®. I heard pis

Heard him say, “Boys let’s go now.”
saw ten in the yard. had frock
coat on and pants tuflvd in boots. He
used to work in paper mill. Another
man didn L have dough face. Wore
brown suit. Didn’t know lim like
morning. Night was and irk.
Hannah F.ournoy, r.eg, ess.—When
I heard the knocking at the door, 1
wanted to know who they were. Said
“ Mary Tillinghast.” Voices were
altered. They asked for Manila and
wanted to see her, ami* then wanted
me. Asked me to open the doors ;
wouldn't do it as it was no time to call.
Said they would break open the door.
Told them to break it. Went back
and told Mr. Aslihurn a crowd of men
were out there. He got up, lit a can
tile, and stood near his bed with a pis
tol in his hand. A little hoy of mine
ran under the bed By this tune twen
lv-five men were in each of the rooms
and about the alley. All of them were
well dressed gentlemen ; about the
same size, and wore masks or were
smutted. When shooting commenced
l got out of the window and tan.
They said, “Don’t hurt Hannah.”—
Seven shots were fired after he fell, I
was too frightened to know any of
them. Saw none without masks.—
Were nice dandy voting gentlemen be
longing to Columbus. Ashburn had
lit Ins candle, and put on his coat. —
Said “Let them come.” It was be
tween 12 and 1 o’clock Monday night.
Bennett was in the room ; me and
Manda in the middle one, and Ash
hum by himself. There were no
lights in the room. The men had a
candle with them.
Policeman Cash sworn [Here Cap
tain Miiis and Mayor Wilkins came
in and remained a short time.] He
simply swore that he heard several
shots and hurried down the street with
Policeman Brady, and was joined by
Lawrence and Smith. He saw on the
vacant lot opposite Hannah’s house, a
hotly of men-—about thirty in number
—in some confusion. He ordered them
to halt, but hearing the click of pistols
and seeing they were determined he
should come no nearer, lie retired.—
Attracted by a woman’s scream, he
went over the street, found Ashburn
had been murdered, and sent informa
tion to th© civil and military nnthoriii»>«
iteeogmzed none of them. Night
very dark.
Policeman Smith testified he passed
at 12} o’clock by Hannah’s house, and
saw no one there. Was on Broad street
when he heard the pistols. Ran wtlh
other officers to the spot. There saw
a squadron of men moving eastward
across a vacant lot hv Mollie Jones.—
About thirty or forty of them—estima
ted the number by the body presented.
Don’t know whether they were dis
guised, Didn’t know any of them.—
Couldn’t tell any of them. Couldn’t
tell whether they w r ere in rags or fine
clothes. Was in fifty feet.
Amanda Patterson, (white) recalled.
—I saw the face of one of the men.—
1 had a candle in my hand, and was
standing right against him. Had no
mask. Wore sandy moustache, dark
clothes and soft felt hat. Not to much
red about face. He was a stranger to
meant! I wouldn’t know him if I meet
him again. He didn’t leave the front
room, where me and Hannah was.—
Had no whiskers. I was mistaken
about the name whose mask fell off and
who cursed me. It was not Mr.
who I knew well. His hair and heard
were longer. I thought last night it
was Mr. , but I saw him this morn
ing and know it isn’t. I could recog
nize the man, who ws« tall and fine
looking, if I saw him. He wore a black
coat and small chpck pants. Was cal!
ed in this morning to make affidavit
against Mr. , but 1 wouldn’t.
Two paper masks one white the oth
er black, and a blackened handkerchief
torn as a ma»k with no name on it and
teloth glove picked up on the vacant
lot, were shown by Justice Bostock
»ed givei to the Cornier.
NO. 40.
Dick White—Hannah's son—3 boy
of about 12 swore the men broke open
both the front and side doore. There
was knocking on all sides. When they
burst them open I ran into Mr. Ash
bnrn’s room and hid under the bed.—
Mr. Ashburn was standing by the bed
with a pistol in his hand. The candle
was burning. He told the men at the
side door not to come in or lie would
shoot them. Three entered from the
side door and two from the one toward
the middle room. As soon as Ashburn
said he would shoot, one called out to
the five to “shoot the d—d rascal.”—
One man fired from the side door and
hit the bed. Ashburn started to run,
but they turned him back. After three
shots one struck him in the head He
fell in one corner. Several shots were
fired afterward. Ashburn started to
shoot twice, but didn’t. One man got
on his knees and fired, hitting him in
the foot—then ran oIT. Faces blacked
like negroes. Knew no one. They
looked like they had gloves on.
Jordan (’lark, negro, knew nothing
except from hearsay.
Bennett, recalled Five men did tin*
shooting. One had on “English walk
ing coat” with large hor.i buttons.
Tom Johnson, negro, recalled—
Thought the man in brown clothes was
Mr. . Night was dark. Thought
lie knew him by his clothes. Didn’t
see his face—only judged bv clothes
and fo r m—clothes all of one color, —
The other man 1 know positively,—
Had «■ 1 dark clothes. Would know
him darkest night.
Violet Fitts. Lizzie Fitts, and Mary
Manfield, negroes, all swore that Tom
Johnson had been in Lizzie’s room be
fore tbe firing commenced, and until
all was quiet and everybody hail left
lie did not leave that room. They all
united in this statement. Hannah
Flournoy also testified that he was
there when she ran in, and that she left
him there. Hence his testimony can
not be relied upon.
This closed the examination. The
following is the
verdict :
We the jury, find that George W.
Ashburn came to his death by pistol
bulls through body, fired by persons
unknown to the jury.

THE BODY TAKEN TO MACON,
The Sun of yesterday says:
The body of Ashburn is to be carried
to Macon, we are informed. Some ne
groes were speaking yesterday of es
eorting the remains tothe depot in pro

we have heard of.
.Northern Creditor n u. South
ern ueuiorn.
An interesting suit has just been
decided by the United States Supreme
Court, winch is oi importance ;ts touch
ing the cinms of Northern creditors
upon persons in the South for debts
contracted before lhe rebellion. The
case, which came up on appeal from
a Circuit Court in Arkansas, was an
action on a contract between citizens
of New Hampshire and a citizen of
Arkansas,and the question presented
to the decision of the Suprerre Court
was, whether the time and tiring which
the courts of Arkansas were closed on
account of the rebellion is to he ex
cluded from the computation of the
time fixed ty the statute of limitation,
within which suits on contract mav te
brought.
ihe Arkansas court gave judgment
for the plaintifis, ruling that the action
was covered by the statute. The
Supreme Court, on appeal of the de
fendant, held that between citizens of
two Slates at war all debts are suspen
'•led, and also the statute of limitation ;
and that the having been
declared to be a civil war, and to give
belligerent rights to the parties, carried
with it all the incidents thereto, and
suspended the statute of limitations
between citizens of two of our States,
one in rebellion and the other not.
Bv this decision the judgment of
the inferior court is sustained and an
important principle fa established.

A Remarkable Discovery.
Many theories have been advanced
in regard to the former occupancy of
this country. The mind of the Anli
quariau has never yet rested with eat
i-laetion upon the evidences of out
predecessors. It is not our purpose to
discuss the question now whether the
{Spaniards, the Indian, the French, or
other people left the menu merits of an
unknown race, now to be found
throughout East Terueasee ! Our at
tention has recently been called to 0
remarkable discovery in Roane county.
Mr. William Staples owns a valuable
farm on Poplar (’reek, about twelve
miles northeast «t Kingston. For
many years past attention had been
attracted to a particular locality on
liis farm from the fact that the cattlo
were in the habit of resorting to tha
place and making thereby what was
known as a lick.”
'Flie attention of Mr. Staples being
thus called to the subject, lie resolved
to in vesting-alt* tbe matter. Accor
dingly he proceeded to excavate upon
the premises. after digging down
about seven feet be struck a solid lime
stone rock. He found a well about
eight inches in diameter; front this well
lie procured salt water, of a quality
sufficient to enable hint to obtain salt,
by the boiling of a few gallons, and
this too, with out any means of
separating the fresh from the salt
water.
Tne most remarkable feature of this
discovery consists in the following.
After the discovery of the well, Mr.
Staples presecuted his investigation
and found to his surprise, s line of salt
kettles, or rather the remains of salt
kettles.
The kettles vroro of stone ware,
made of the same material as that used
by the Indians, «Lc. The kettles
were broken but the curvature indica
ted that they were about three left ;iu
diameter, and were about forty in num
ber.
A most striking fret connected with
this discovery is that these kettles
were found at a depth of seven feet
below the surface of the ground*
Growing above them were trees—
poplar and oak—which were evidently
two centuries old. Will some of our
Antiquarians explain this ? Who bored
that salt well ? Who made those ket
tles ? Who founded that furnace-
Who were our Aborigines ?

M tin ford, j 1806.
Flea that the note, as to certain
part of the amount, was without con
sideration. the said note having been
given in renewal of three others, and
t he amount remaining oie upon the
latter having, by mistake, been over
estimated.
It appeared in evidence that the
three notes referred to in the plea
were dated in 1859, and fell due one
year thereafter, with interest payable
annually. During the year 1832 three
payments were made upon them in
Confederate States Treasury notes,
amounting altogether to $2,750, and
these payments were entered by tfie
plaint iff himself as credits upon the
i 1
1 notes.

made bv the plaintiff to ascertain
the balance due. The defendant was
illiterate and could not calculate for
himself. The whole matter was left to
the plantifT, who stated that the law
rrquired the payments to be scaled to
corespond with gold at broker’s rates,
at the date of the respective credits.—
’Fhe defendant, relying on the correct
ness of this statement, and the accura
cy of plaintiff's calculations, gave the
note sued upon.
The calculations made by the plain
tiff compounded interest on all the
notes for the whole period, and re*
duced the credits to one-half, averaging
the value of Confederate notes at two
for one.
The Court, the jury held
first, the interval accrued on all the
annual interest, and ran so long aa the
same remained unpaid, but could not
be compounded at the end of each,
year—in other words, that annual reate
were not allowable.
teJecondly. that the Confederate notes
were illegal, having been issued sml
circoked to and in opposing »he law
ful Government of the country, but
that those dealing in them were in
puri deiiclo , and consequently that
payments involuntarily received and
er.tcrest by the plaintiff in such curren
cy, would stand as payments at the
value given to it by the parties them
selves at the time.
Thirdly, that although in taking the
new note, the plaintiff was guilty of no
fraud; vet, if he reduced the pay merle
one-half, giving no considerations
therefor the latter note was without
consideration as to the amouut ol euoh
reduction.
The jury returned h verdict in f «vnf r*f
the plaintiff’ for $1,482 W‘2, with in
terest from the date of the u*w
note.
