Dodge Hayward and Geo. F. Wilson.
Mr. Geo. F. Wilson of Providence, B. L,
an extensive manufacturer of Fertilizers and
a gentleman of high standing and unques
tioned integrity, published a challenge in the
Herald about ten days since, in which be
offered to file a bond for ten thousand dollars
in the Atlanta National Bank, that his super
phosphate would prodace better results than
Hayward’s compound. To carry out this
challenge, he offered to buy or lease a small
tract of land within five miles of Atlanta and
farm it side by side, for five years,
each using his own compound. Hay
ward replies that he is a poor man
and unable to put up ten tbonsand dollars,
but says be has purchased 50 acres of land
within five miles of Atlanta and will com
mence the test whenever Mr. Wilson is
ready.
We have just received a note from Mr. Wil
son, in which he statc-s that he will reply to
Hayward as soon at he can reach Macon.
This trial will be a very interesting and im
portant one. Mr. Hayward, we know, is in
dead earnest, and Mr. Geo. F. Wilson is a
gentleman of liberal views, lsrge wealth and
one of the most extensive farmers in New
England. He cnltivates upwards of fifteen
hundred acres within a few miles of Provi
dence. We sincerely believe that he has no
other object in this matter than the ad
vancement of agriculture. Wo know him
to be incapable of trickery or any petty at
tempt to advertise his phosphate in this
way. We shall therefore await his reply with
much interest, and hope he will commence
the test during the comiDg season.
Communicated.
The “Con.lltu tlow."
To the Editors or the Herald:
It has become a common remark around
the city, and the country too, that if yoa
want the Atlanta Constitution to oppose a
measure, just let the Atlanta Herald favor it;
if you want it to favor it, get the Herald to
oppose. The troth of this was never better
or more fnlly demonstrated than it was in the
issue of the Constitution of Friday morning,
February 21st, 1874.
For instance, it; is known that the good
people of Atlanta and Fulton county are
clamoring for the General Assembly, now in
session, to pass a law giving the City Coart
exclusive jurisdiction over all crimes of leas
grade than felony, or else give them another
coort to try these frivolous cases in short or
der, so as to relieve tbe people of the onerous
jury duty snd heavy taxation that has for sev
eral years past been forced upon tbern. The
Herald earner ont promptly and favored re
lief. In several powerful articles, it took up
the cause of reform and showed that these mi
nor offenses ought to be tried before a tribunal
with a less corps of officers and jurors, and
more frequent sittings than in the Buperior
Coort. This w*s right, because it will not
pay to put a prisoner in jail for these minor
offenses and let him eat out perhaps a dozen
times the amount of his theft, and then con
sume tbs time of tbe court and country one
or two days to decide bis case. Such pro
ceedings will rain sny country upon God’s
green earth, more especially tbe South, where
the freedmen are turned loose upon us.
Try these cases in tbe Superior Coart 7 No,
no ! Yoa might just as well “buy a herring
and hire a carriage to carry it home." Give
the jurisdiction of these cases to the City
Court, or even the Justices’ Courts, if need
be, and don’t let tbe prisoner lie in jail a sin
gle day if yon can prevent it Put kirn in
the chain-gang, or let him pay his fine imme
diately. Don't let criminals and the eonrta
eat np tbe substance of the people.
Ah! bot says tbe Atlanta Constitution news
paper, “We have looked into tbis matter, and
And it unconstitutional to take jurisdiction of
these misdemeanors from the Superior Court;”
and again, that “tbs jurisdiction of misde
meanor* is given to the Superior Court by
tbs Constitution, and nothing less than s
constitutions! amendment can deprive it of
such jurisdiction.”
Now, soy lawyer that would assert inch a
proposition as the above in a respectable court
would be regal ded as s mere student or jack-
leg. It is to be regretted that any journal
claiming to be respectable, in the State of
Georgia, should show such ignorance ot law.
The Superior Courts have no constitutional
jurisdiction of misdemeanors, and had none
at all, ualil the act of 1870, a ter
ths District Courts had grown into
disrepute by reason of some of Gov. Bollock's
Appointments, conferring it npon them.
It won’t do to aav with tbe Atlanta Consti
tution, that a misdemeanor is as mnsb a
erime aa a fslony. In other words that a for
nicator or a gamhler ia as bad aa a murderer.
“Ho that m without sin amongst yon, let him
csst the first stone.” •
Yon ssn't make these misdemeanors of ths
earns magnitude with felonies in the eye of
the law of either God or man. and it ia Has
tens to try it And even if they were of equal
magnitude, still, common sense and experi
ence would say, famish a tribunal to dispose

A Herald reporter called on Mr. Walter

ing point of information:

QUITE A NOVEL CHUBCX.
On last Sunday after this reporter had
refreshed himself with the turkey leg and mag
of beer which a benign Frovidenoe vouch
safes to him on each succeeding Sabbath, he
wended bis way to that lodging place of
those who have sinned against the laws of
earth, tbe Fulton county jail.
We found John Wise, that sagacious keeper
of tbe keys, sitting in tbe ante room smoking
the pipe of peace, and wreathing his old wool
bat in little blue clouds of glory.
“Halloo; you've been a stranger in these
ports lately. Havn’t seen you since O’Neal
was bang,” says tbis warden of Hopkins'
castle.
We took s seat and entered into casual con
verse with the genial jailor.
“ Is there going to be preaching here this
evening 7 ”
“Yes; I believe some of the Young Men’s
Christian Association have got permission
fiom Perkerson to bold so ne sort of a meet
ing here for the benefit of the prisoners. I
don't know that it will do much good, but I
■m always willing to help ontanything of the
kind.”
THE TOCNO MISSIONARIES.
About this time the committee had arrived
and entered the ante room. They were most
of them familiar to ns. There was Walter
Brown, Esq., President of tbe Association,
Mr. Willie Haygood, Mr. J. J. McDaniel, Mr.
T. A. Gramliog, Mr. & Y. Jarrett, Mr. H. H.
Jones, and Mr. W. D. Green. Thev stated to
Mr. Wise that they had Mr. Perkerson's full
permission to go into the jail. Mr. Wise as
sented, saying that he would aid them all he
could in getting a fair showing.
“However” says he, “you'd better give me
up any weapons you may have about you.
*n a an ia nf Iks tail VttAwv ’
In pursuance with the adjournment of the
day before, ihe c*se of tbe State vs. Mr.
Gaines Chisolm was called at 9:30 yesterday
morning, and the following testimony intro
duced:
Mr. John Brazelton being sworn said—
That before I said there they are, John bad
already stopped, and Gaines stopped after I
said it, and Bedell could not get the pistol
any distance from my pocket Gaines made
one step after I said there they are. I can’t
swear whether Bedell got hold of the pistol or
it fell to the ground. It got away from me.
M. A. J. Wood being sworn, deposeth and
sayeth—Knew both Chisolm and Bedell by
sight Was in a bar-room on tbe corner of
Kimball House. Heard only one shot. When
I got to top of the stairs, I saw Gaines, and
some one I did not know. A man passed in
ran saying something about not shooting.
Some one said to Games, don’t shoot him,
and Gaines answered, I will shoot the damn
son of a bitch. Bedell said, murdered; the
damn son of a bitch has waylaid and mur
dered me. As some one raised him up he
said he was shot through the hips.
Cross examined.—Could not see the man
when he spoke. It may have been somebody
else that said they waylaid and murdered me.
I think tha police man was tos much fright
ened to hear anything. I swear to my beat
knowledge and belief that Bedell said, "The
damn sons of bitches, they havo waylaid and
murdered me;” have talked with Brazleton
about the case; didn’t hear any one cry for
police.
On being sworn be said that he tried to serve
two subpoenas on Ned McGlosky. McGlosky
denied his identity at first and after
wards refused positively to come to the Court
house. The court issued an attachment for
him and put it in the hands of a Bailiff, who
reported that he would have help to bring
him as he again relnsed.
The Court adjourned until after dinner to
meet at two o’clock.
Mr. Ed. McLaughlin—I have been living
all aroand—have been here for some time—
I remember when Bedell got shot last week—
was standing near the corner of the Kimball
house talking to a negro named Joordan—
know Mi. Chisolm when I see him—saw him
that evening going towards the corner—the
negro called my attention to blood on his face
—after Chisolm got to the corner
Mr. Chisolm shot; saw the flash of the Distol;
saw a policeman run like the devil; I thought
from the way he run that they were shooting
at him; the policeman Jthen hallooed for more
police; it was hard to tell which way he did
run; Chisolm he tried to kill him and he bad
to protect himself; Chisolm also said he tried
to kill him, and he bad to' do the best he
conld; did not see aDy one but Chisolm and
tbe policeman that run; never saw a man run
so hard in my life.
No cross examination.
The State then closed and
THE DEFENSE
introduced their witnesses. Before the testi
mony was introduced the Solicitor asked that
he witnesses should be separated.
General Gartrell said that he had not asked
to separate the witnesses of the State and
thonght that it was nothing bat fair that his
witnesses should have the same privilege of
those of the State.
The Solicitor insisted on separating them,
and tbe Court sustained him.
THE STATE CLOSES.
The Solicitor stated that the State had one
other witness, bat as he was not present they
would stand closed.
Gen. Gartrell said that they desired to ar
gue the case briefly, and that the counsel of
both sides agreed that an adjournment of the
court nntil to-day would be preferable.
The coart was then adjourned to take np
the case at 9:30 this moroing.
Peoples 1 Coarse of Lectures.
The above course of Lectures, fully adver
tised in another column, is now in progress
at Loyd*Street Churoh. The second Lecture
will be delivered to-night by Rev. Jno. G.
Bid well, of Worcester. The following com
plimentary notices of Dr. Bid well’s Lectures
elsewhere, we dip from onr exchanges. They
give abundant assurance that those who at
tend will be well repaid. The Boston Trav
eler says:
His subjeot, ‘The Secret [of Personal
Beanty,' and his treatment of it, was at once
raey and classic, scholarly and popular, fre
quently drawing forth the 'audible smile’ in
his discretions of the burlesques and carica
tures of beauty so frequently seen in fashion
able circles, and yet constantly keeping before
the andience the true beanty, of which the
things that are seen are but the hieroglyphics,
the articulations, the hint6, the publica
tions.’ ”

everybody. It was instructive, witty and elo
quent, a model Lyceum lecture.”—Porta-

CORY.
Committed for Embezzlement-
His Own Letter Conviots Him.
Th. case of the State va. Philip D. Cory
wearied yesterday before Justioe Ezzard.
According to
THS WARRANT,
which was issued by Justice Wm. Ezzard and
sworn ont by O. S. Johnson, the new cashier
of the IFreedman’g Havings Bank, he was
charged with stealing, seereting and fraudu
lently taking and carrying away
$10,000
in United States cnrrency, the turn being tbe
property of the Freedman’s Havings and
TruBt Company. The Bute introduced a
good deal of testimony, among which was
some letters of Cory's in which he acknowl
edges that he is abont seven thousand and
seven hundred dollars short, and that he had
used the money with no evil intent, but lost
it through his friends—a security debt, we
believe. He was induced to wriU the second
letter, (the contents of which is unknown to
us,) through falae promises of the Company,
henoe it was ruled out of the evidenoe.
THE DEFENSE
did not introduce any testimony at all. Af
ter able apeeohes by counsel employed, he
was committed to appear at the next term of
Fulton Huperior Court, and required to give
a three thousand dollar bond, or to go to
jail. He succeeded in giving a good bond.
Mr. W. C. Morrill, Treasurer of the W. and
A. B. B., and Senator Clarke, of the Seventh
District, and Mr. Benj. F. Abbott, were re
tained by the defense, and Mr. John A. S.
Stephens prosecuting.
“ We cannot do justice to ihe masterly ef
fort without a verbatim report, but we have
no hesitanoy in saying it was head and shoul
ders above anything wo have hoard here or in
the cities this winter. It is just what the
world needs.”—Danieisonvilie (Connecticut)
Gazette.
“Bev. Ira G. Bidwell gave two very excel
lent lectures before the Institute, describing
in the first, in a humorous manner, the dis
trict sobooi of ‘langsyne,’ pointing ont its
faults and remedies. In tbe evening he gave
a brilliant lecture ou * The Secret of Personal
Beauty.’”—New Hampshire Sentinel (Keene,
New Hampshire).
This ia a rale of the jail, you know.
The sangninary fellows were then handled,
but the moat assiduous search failed to show
up anything but a half dozen of the most
innocuous looking pocket knives. These
being taken from them, they entered the jail
armed with nothing, except, as Mr. Brown
feelingly remarked, “with the Gospel and the
song book.”
Upon entering the jail,
a QUEER CONOREGATION
burst npon the view of these soulful young
evangelists, and tbis wicked reporter.
The inmates of the various cells had heard
of the “excitement,” and long before the
hoar bad arrived, had crept ont of their dun
geons and ranged themselves along the stairs
at the farther end. The negroes were seated
on the lower tiers, and the white men nearer
the balconv.
There are at present fifty-nine prisoners
in the jail, and we suppose all of them ' ‘at
tended meeting.” Five of them are charged
with mnrder. EveTy one in the crowd seemed
deeply interested in the services. Just en
the right of the hall, near the entrance, in
wbat would in a church be called “the amen
corner,” sat Gaines Chisolm, the slayer of
Penn Bedell, in, we believe, the same cell oc
cupied by Malone. Hia dinner, qnite a dainty
meal, had jnat been brought in to him, and
he was about commencing to eat, when the
Committee came in. He pushed tbe victuals
to one side, drew hia chair up to the edge
of his cell, and listened quite attentively du
ring the whole services.
HOW THE SERVICES WERE CARRIED ON.
Mr. Willie Haygood was the leader of tbe
services. He had a small table placed in
front of him which acted as a pulpit. He
made a very earnest, able and pathetic exhor
tation, indulging in no rhetorical gymnastics,
but talking plain common sense; to every
word of which the audience paid an atten
tion that would have pat an ordinary church
audience to shame.
The services, in addition, consisted of
singing and praying, to all of which decorons
devotion was yielded. The andience,
(a large part of it, at least,) joined
in some of the songs, and when the leader an
nounced that the exercises would be closed
bv singing that grandest and best known of
all onr church songs, “Shall we gather at the
Biver?” the whole crowd, it seemed, joined
in the chorus, and made tbe iniquitous old
walls of the jail ring with music and gladness.
Many a hardened face grew softer; many a
fierce eye loet its glitter, many a monster
schooled to crime quivered with emotion as
the last notes of the superb old hymn rolled
ont among the gloomy cells, and mellowed
the atmosphere of that chilling jaiL
WANT THEM TO COME AGAIN.
Several of the prisoners expressed them
selves very msch gratified that the young
men had taken enough interest in tbe poor
castaways to give op a bright evening to them
and administer to their welfare.
As they passed Chisolm’s cell tbe President
seys, “1 trust you don’t think we ere disposed

The Committee then retired to their elnb
room, and utterly forsook tbis wicked report

cemetery to ahoot spring-robins with an Ala
bama sling.
A Liberal Donation.
When Mr. George F. Wilson, of Provi
dence, was in Atlanta he was invited to spend
a day in the country by the writer, that he
might have an opporinnity to see a Georgia
farm. He seemed highly pleased with the
general appearance of the country, and ex
pressed his surprise and satisfaction at what
have been accomplished by onr people under
the manifold disadvantages we have bad to
contend with. During his visit Mr. Edward
Cox, one of the Trustees of the Decatnr
Academy, called on the writer to contribute
to the building of a new school honse to be
erected in Decatnr. Mr. Wilson inquired
how much was needed, and on being inform
ed that the necessary sum had been made np
excepting a few hundred dollars, be promptly
authorized Mr. Cox to call on his agents here,
Messrs. Stephens Sc Fiynn, and collect one
hnndred dollars. Cox bowed his thanks and
went away happy.
THE TESTIMONY.
Mr. K. C. Beavers being sworn says; He
bad been snbpcenead by tbe State; be knew
both Chisolm and Bedell; was in tbe Office
Saloon at the time of the firing; don't know
who shot; was on the Bide-walk immediately
after the firing took place; was the first man
toBedell;did not hear Bedell say. “Yon damn
sons of bitches, you have waylaid me and
murdered me.” If he had said that I would
have beard it; Bedell said, “They have killed
me; I am shot through tbe hips;” alterwards,
“Take me to my room. No, 11, you know
where it Is.” He found a pistol on the side
walk, the pistol was cocked; tbe pistol is not
a self-cocking one; I gave the pistol to Mr.
Brazelton after he bad said three times it was
his; I saw tbe pistol move, that is wbat
cansed me to notice it.
Cross-examined—Bedell was lying by the
lamp post on the corner; Chisolm
was standing at the door of The Office saloon;
Brazelton was getting away; he made a turn
aroand a sand bank and ran off about thirty-
five yards, where be fell over a barrel; the pis
tol was lying in a little path running from
near the Maison do Ville, about five or six
steps from Brazelton, when he saw it turn
over; Mr. Ballard, at the depot, saw me pick
up the pistol.
Mr. Samuel Clark, being sworn, said: Saw
Chisolm at tbe Maison de Ville about fifteen
minutes before tbe shootiDg on the night lhat
Bedell was killed; John Chisolm was with
him; Gaines was bleeding a good deal, and
was braised np badly; told a waiter to bring
some water to wash his face, and he said he

Collins (street; tbe nearest and most di
rect ronte is by tbe southeast corner of the
Kimball House
Cross questioned: I stay in town; board at
the American Hotel; am employed here at the
court house most of tbe time; don’t stay about
the Maison de Ville sny more than I do at tbe
Girl of the Period and the Turf Exchange.
Policeman Brazelton was again called to
the stand and said: That I heard what Mr.
Beavers had said m reference to the pistol he
found cocked; I never cocked the pistol.
Cross-examined; Can’t swear positively
whether the pistol was cocked or not when
Bedell gave it to me; I don’t think it was.
Samuel Ware (a colored boy), being sworn,
said: That I was employed by Mr. Chisolm
at the time of the killing; stay np stairs at
the Maison de Ville; saw him that night; his
face was bleeding; I washed hia head and
face; John Chisolm was in the room; he left,
saying he was going borne; John left sayiog,
“I will go with yon Gaines and see you
home;” abont half a minute, or probably a
little more, I heard a pistol shot by the car
eked; when I beard tbe pistol fire I ran to
wards the Kimball house and met Mr. Chis
olm and asked him what was the matter; he
said he had killed Penn Bedell to keep him
from killiagthim.
Cross-examined—I wait on Mr. Chisolm;
did not see him with a pistol- that night;
havn’t seen him with a pistol for a year;
didn’t see John Chisolm with a pistol; think
that he stayed in there abont fifteen minutes;
he said Ham get me a pan of water—I got and
took it up stain; he and John was in the
back room together; dido’t know that be was
bloody until he told me to get him a pan ot
water; no one went np stairs but Gaines and
John and myselt; only thing that was said
was, what did Penn heat you for 7 for nothing
at all; didn't know who shot or who was shot
nntil I saw Mr. Gaines.
Tbe defense announced themselves closed
for tbe present with tbe exception of the
statement of lbs defendant;
