• A Damning Affair.
•low an Iniificent Sian was llunp; for
Murder.
From the Atlanta Commonwealth ]
The tragic death of Judge Fish, who
was brutally assassinated at Ids homo in
Oglethorpe some three years ago, is still
fresh in tho memories of many of our
readers. They also remember tho more
terrible fate that followed quick upon the
heels of Hnlsenbake and Lloj d,
who were condemned and executed for
tho murder.
Judge Fish, it is also known, was a
Republican of prominence, standing high
in the confidence of the party, and bid
ding fair to be its most popular and able
leader in the State. His death then,
aside from the moral shock to nil good
people, was a peculiar calamity to tho
E , and to avenge it, Governor Bul-
iffered n reward of six thousand
dollars for the arrest aud conviction of
the murderers. This tempting reward nat
urally enough excited tli'e cupidity of de
tectives, and under tho direction of the
Solicitor-General, a party set to work to
“work the case up.” . How well they
worked it up, is also well remembered.
Suspicion being directed toward Holsen-
bake and Lloyd, they were arrested and
placed in a room, in which the detectives
were concealed, and while there were
said to have confessed to each other joint
complicity in the murder. Upon this ev
idence the wi etches were condemned .and
executed.
But while standing on the callows with
the terrors of death staring them in the
face, and the solemnity of its awful mo
ment resting on their souls, they both de
nied tho truth of tiie detective’s story.
Holsenbake confessing himself to the kill
ing of Judge Fish, and Lloyd protesting
his own innocence. The following are
Holscnbake’s words:
Fellow-citizens, we are met here on a
most solemn occasion—met here to take
my life. I entreat your prayer. I ask
your fervent prayers in my behalf.
The fervent prayer of the righteous
availeth much, and in praying for me
you may convert your own souls. I
appear before you as a criminal about
to suffer an ignominious death, but I
can sincerely say that a heart I am no
criminal. 1 am about to be unjustly
executed. I have failed to obtain jus
tice in the courts of law. The laws
have been illegally or unjustly execu
ted. I do not speak as a lawyer, but so
it seems to me. I am arraigned as the
principal for the crime of murdering
a man who has long since gone “to that
bourne from whence no traveler re
turns.” I trust God has been merciful
to him. I am the man who took hie life, I
did it when under great irritation; I
had lost my reason; I was a monoma
niac; I had nothing against Colonel
Fish, hut I had heard that he had dese
crated the dearest affections of my heart
that he had violated my household ties
and sullied the reputation of my little
daughter, who, thank God, has been
for months in Heaven, and I trust I
shall be speedily with her. I do not
feel as though I was the author of this
crime. Everything I have stated concern
ing my accomplice has been nonestly
and truthfully stated. I have been be
trayed by wolves in sheep’s clothing.
lie then gave the particulars of his
confession to Col. H. P. Farrow, Into At
torney General for the State; stated how
it was obtained, and sa'd of Mr. Far
row :
I tell you fellow-citizens, he stands
before God and this community a de
graded and disgraced mortal. I have
nothing against him, he has not only
forfeited his word, but sacrificed his
honor; and more still he is a convicted
perjurer, and the court records will prove
it. There is here to-day standing be
fore me nn honorable and high-minded
gentleman, one who was engaged in my
defense—Col. YV. S. Wallace. I refer
to him; he knows what I say is true. I
wish to God (passionately) I knew how
to talk, but my language is inadequate
to tell of the murderous outrage that
has been perpetrated against me. I was
deranged; the separation of my family
from me was my ruin. [Pause.] The
injuries I sustained in that connection
caused me to lose my reason. [Pause.]
My life will pay tho forfeit—I am exe
cuted wrongly—I have failed to obtain
justice; it has all been done through pre
judice; they have suffered their preju
dices to be aroused.”
He thanked and complimented the
prison officials that had charge of him,
and closed by saying he left the world
without bearing malice against any
wnan, and he hoped no one had a
pejudice against him. If there was he
did not know it.
And this is the report of what Loyd
said:
He was in his G2d year; had never
had a difficulty; never had been
arrested; never paid a fine or cost. Had
lived an honorable and useful life.
Had never himself, or in collusion
with others, entertained one iota of
criminal feeling against any man.
He declared that Jones, Farrow and
the detective had hatched the matter
up. “I swear,” said he, “that before
you and my God, before whom I shall
soon appear, I am innocent. If I had
dreamed of such a thing, I would not
have allowed it.” He said his death
was a conspiracy, and W. C. Jones was
at the bottom of it, his blood would
cry for vengeance; and concluded: I
put my blood on him (Jones) for three
generations, and call on God to witness
it, Jones got Stubbs out and exerted
himself to convict mo. I want nil of
Mr. Fish’s family to know it. I am
innocent.”
These protestations of innocence, com
ing as thoy did from the very lips of
death, excited iu tho minds of those who
heard and read them, many doubts of
the man’s guilt and n nameless suspicion
that a foul conspiracy had been made to
sweep away the life of an innocent man,
in order to obtain tho reward. This sus
picion grow in tho minds of some until
it hceame so tangible that thoy determin
ed to ferret tho thing to the bottom, and
when it became known that one of tho
parties, now holding high rank in the
United States civil services, hnd been
awarded two thousand dollars of tho
blood raonsy, the clew was so direct that
they had no further doubt about it, and
went to work directly at the root of the
matter. One of the detectives was con
fronted, and, while the dying words of
Lloyd was read, he confessed that it was
true, and that they had “put up a job”
in order to get the reward. Shortly after
this, this detective was killed, and his
lips were closed forever. Now his widow
has been seen, and she reluctantly con
fessed that her husband, while iu the ag
ony of remorse, had confessed to her
that he had been a party in swearing
away the life of Lloyd, and that it was
all done to get the money.
The facts of the case have been inge
niously worked up, and the testimony in
the case has heen forwarded to Washing
ton, to be laid before the department of
justice, as its matter materially affects the
character of one of its officials.
We trust that the matter may be fully
investigated, not only by the deputies at
Washington, but our own State authori
ties should take cognizance of it, and let
the parties to this most damnable of con
spiracies be brought to judgment. Those
who have it in charge are men of nerve
and determination, and the public should
offer them the hearty support of approval.
The Presidential List,
New York Sun.]
The names of the gentlemen from
whom the respective parties will be
pretty sure to select their candidates
for President next year are not many.
Here is a catalogue:
Republicans. Democrat,
B. H. Bristow, T. A. Hendricks,
O. P. Morton, A. G. Thurman,
E. B. Washburne, W. Allen,
E. D. Morgan, T. F. Bayard,
H. Wilson, J. S. Black,
J. G. Blaine, S. J. Tilden.
Each of these lists seems complete
as the case stands at present. It is pos
sible, hut not probable, that new men
may come up in the course of next fall
and winter. For instance, if Gen. Hayes
should be elected Governor of Ohio by
a rousing majority, he would take a
place in the Republican list; but if he
should bo beaten, his chance of reach-
inf* such distinction would be extin
guished forever. Most likely some one
of these twelve gentlemen will be the
next President, and we are bound to
say that it is possible to find a good one
in either list.
Planters Taxed for Selling To
bacco.—Alvin B. Clark, Collector, sends
to the Macon Telegraph his construction
of the ruling of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue relative to collecting
internal revenue taxes from the planter
who sells manufacted tobacco to their
hands is as follows: “If a planter
employs hands for a part of the crop,
and the contract set forth the supplies
to be furnished, in which is included a
specified quantity of tobacco to be fur
nished at first cost, and so mentioned
in the contract, such planter shall not
be taxed as a dealer in manufactured
tobacco, and in order to prevent an as
sessment, satisfactory proof should be
furnished by planters to this office or
to the Deputy Collector of the proper
division, that they come with the fore
going construction of the law.
The name of Foster Blodgett is to be
erased from an engine'on the State road
and thus will disappear, says the Ma
con Telegraph, tho last vestige of the
Bullock regime in Georgia. Tiie lessees
determined to substitute the name of
Macon’s gifted son, Thomas Hardeman,
jr. “And now,” says the Telegraph, “if
the generous lessees will hut place his
namesake at the disposal of Mr. Harde
man for the next thirty days, to enable
him to come to time with his multifari-
en gagements to speak at the commence
ments of half of the seminaries in the
State, they will complete the measure
of their liberality. There is hardly a
hamlet, however remote, in Georgia,
that has not been electrified by the elo
quence of this popular orator. Hence
nis wonderful hold upon the affections
of the people.”
A grand dramatic combination is
now being formed, the ladies of which
will be the following, who will be classi
fied, according to the French fashion:
Mere Noble, Mrs. E. C. Stanton; lead
ing lady, Miss Anna Dickinson; pre
miere amoureuse, Miss Susan B. An
thony; Jennie premiere, Miss Bessie
Turner; soubrettes, Misses Davis, Stone,
and Dr. Mary Walker. “Divorce” will
be their first play, and the “School for
Scandal” will, folk

lies [Millses to the Atiuutn Celebration from
Human Orntaiv.
FROM JUDGE UNDERWOOD.
Rome, Ga., June 24,1875.
Mr. II. V. Miller, Maj. George Ilillgcr,
Marcus A. Bell, Committee:
Gentlemen—Thanking you sincerely
for the honor of an invitation to tho
celebration of tho approaching fourth
day of July in your c’ty I regret that
it is out my power to attend. The ses
sion of the superior court of Floyd
county begins on the first Monday in
July, and requires my presence, other
wise, I should rejoice to participate in
a renewal of that time-honoreu festi
val—honored by time as well as pat
riots, and by nono more than the peo
ple of Georgia. The long lapse in the
wonted honors paid to the day and the
memories, has been a grief to us all.
This return to the good old custom is
some evidence that we are once more
members of that union of States which
our fathers declared “free and indepen
dent States.
For the maintenance of the declara
tion they periled life and fortune,
fought for and won independence and
liberty to themselves and their posterity
forever. So long os we are members of
the Union,we are interested in the glories
and memories of the past, and the
hopes of the future. The disposition
manifested by our own people to cele
brate the day in common with the
whole people of the Union, is an honor
to their dignity, patriotism and forbear
ance. It will be a suitable time and
occasion to renew our pledges of fealty
to the imperishable principles of civil
and religious Liberty, Bet forth in the
Declaration of Independence, baptized
in the blood of revolution, and fixed in
the constitution of the United States.
It will be refreshing when we are
once again restored not only to the
Union, Dut the rights and privileges be
queathed us by a noble ancestry.
Would to God that not only
Georgia, but patient, enduring
Louisiana and every other state, were
all to lejoicein the glorious sunshine
of liberty which arose on the fourth of
July, 1776. Time was when there was
no difference, the soil enriched by the
flood waters of the Mississippi, was as
that washed by the waves of the At
lantic. No court, no Congress, no man
had power to crush liberty in either.
That time will come again—God send
it speedily, and when it does come—
when.the constitution of the United
States shall be alike observed and en
forced in all parts of the country,
when the rule of the despot is ended,
when the despot’s heel is lifted—then
again the Viginian%nd the Georgian
can exclaim of old, “ The cause of
Boston is tho cause of us all.”
Your fellow-citizen,
J. W. H. Underwood.
FROM JUDGE A. R. WRIGHT.
Rome, Ga.. June 23,1875.
Dr. H. V. M. Miller and others, Commit
tee, etc. :
Gents: Your letter of invitation to
a celebration of the Fourth of July
next, in Atlanta, at which Col. J. A.
Stewart will read apoera, and the Hon.
A. H. Stephens will deliver nn oration,
is duly received.
My old friend Stewart did formerly
abide in one of tie plains at the foot of
one of the hills of “ the eternal
city.” He did then sometimes
read us an ode—sometimes he made us
a speech, sometimes on literature,
sometimes on science, and anon on art;
sometimes he gave us “ a whale of a
speech” on politics, that made the wa
ters seethe. He kept things lively “ on
the banks of the Tiber.” I always
heard him with pleasure. I doubt not
I should again.
Unless something occurs more than at
present anticipated, I will “ congregate
with the wise, the happy and the beau
tiful of the land to hear the spirit
kindling anthems which will linger
along the walls of your sacred temple
on the Sabbath day of freedom,” and
the eloquence of the Union’s great
statesman and gifted orator. Mr. Ste-
E ens is “the last of the Mohegans.”
ike Socrates, he has lived too long.
His virtues have become offensive" to
his countrymen.
You say nothing about the “ barbe
cue ;” but from my knowledge of both
the habits and. taste of the committee,
abundant provisions will be made for
the flesh.
As I shall bring along with me, both
the proprietor ana editor of The Cou
rier, I hope there will be no “ restric
tion” upon your celebration of the 4th.
Very respectfully,
Augustus R. Wright.

WEIillV 1ND TIII'WMiKU'.
Established in 1843.
T HE LONGfESTABLISHED REPUTATION
of TIIE COURIER as a first-clats jtiuni&l
lias glreir it a wldo circulation ia Ciiorokco
Georgia, and an Influence and position not sur
passed by any paper in this region of the Stale.
It has always been a bold and detormmed de
fender of the rights of the people and the advo
cate of the interests of. this section.
ITS POLITICS.
While THE COURIER is thoroughly Demo
cratic, it has never surrendered its right to
condemn all impolitic measures whether they
originate with its own party or that of tho oppo
sition. No paper can be truly Democratic that
is not truly Independent. To be merely partisan
is descending to a levol of subserviency THE
UOURIER will never stoop to. Fealty to
the Demooratio party ia based on the principle
that tho Democratic party shall bo true .to the
People—that tho machinory of its organisation
shall bo controlled by the people, and not by
