Alley, of the regular police force, was brought up before Justice E. Spriuz this morning upon the charge of having Hied at Hartwell Epps and Bam Coleman (col) dur ing the recent riot. Epps being sworn, testiiied —At the time of the shooting we left the polls and went in the direction of the Presbyterian church, and when half-way across the street looked around and saw the prisoner shooting in the direction of Coleman and myself. He shot three timcß in the direction of me. Prisoner was not in the crowd, he was standing near the polls; witnoss Is 17 years old and did not try to vote that day; prisoner was the last man that shot. Abram Kitchens, sworn—l was standing near the Court-house and the Btubblefleld houBC, and saw Epps and Coleman running across the street; saw Mr. Alley shooting at them; he was standing about Are feet from the steps as you go down to the polls; the first time pris oner ahot at Epps, Epps dodged and run; when witnesa last saw Epps he was running in the same direction that Coleman was running: witness did not look back after he began to run, which was after the second shot; witness kept his eye on the prisoner all the time, and and saw him shoot four times before the wit ness ran; Alley was dressed in Nassau blue. Sam Coleman, sworn—After the shooting witness started across the street with Epps and Coleman; when we got about half way across the street going towards the Presbyte rian church, I stopped and looked back and saw prisoner shoot; shot one time towards witness and three times towards Epps, who dodged. Prisoner was a little ways from the steps as you go down to the polls. At the time of the shooting I said to Epps—its deTilish protection we are getting when the police shoot at the people. Cross-examined. —At the time the shooting commenced witness ran towards the Presbyte rian church. Don’t say that prisoner shot at me, hut shot in the direction of me; did not hit me; prisoner shot three times towards Eppe, one time towards witness. Was about 5 feet from Epps When we passed the police. When the disturbance first commenced, wit ness was standing in the bottom ; did not see prisoner when he first got to the wall after the firing commenced—Epps and witness was in the bottom together before the shooting. When witness got to the church, they wera still firing at the Court House; heard pistol shots. The defence here introduced witnesses. Mr. John G. Delta, sworn—Was at the polls on the day of election during the shooting; eaw prisoner prior to the shooting; was be tween the embankment and the branch in the vicinity of the negro who picked up the first brick. During tbe firing did not ace prisoner, but when it ceased, turned around and picked prisoner up and asked him if he was hurt. He said no. (He had been run over by the crowd.) Saw no wcapoi in his hand but hia club, and hslped him to look for his hat; at that time there were very few shots fired; prisoner was at the polls when I picked him up; don’t knew what became of him after that. After parting with the prisoner I went to the sidewalk. Pris oner could not have been in the position that the witness for the State swears that he was at that time; couldn’t have gone upon the embank ment and done the firing that tha witnesses tes tified to; witness was there until the firing was over; if prisoner had been there he would have seen him. After witness left prisoner, there wss no such flnng; was only a scattering shot In a different direction from the place that the witnesses for the State testified to. There were several police there that day dressed in the police uniform. J. B. Simpson, sworn—Was not at the polls at tha time the shooting commenced, but got there at the time the heaviest firing was going on; I went through the crowd to the polls. I met prisoner; he had no weapon in his hand, pistol nor nothing else; he was standing near the poll window. Tbe firing had ceased at the time I met the prisoner. L. B. Pike, sworn—Was at the polls on the morning of the election; saw a great deal of fighting and shoving about the poll window; there were several negroes trying to push the whites away, when someone called to tbe po lice to preserve order; prisoner came down and one of the negroes attempted to push prisoner away; prisoner had a clnb in his hand to stop the negro from hitting him, as he was attempting to do; while that excitement was going on, a brick was thrown from the colored crowd. By that time, prisoner turned to take the negro out of the crowd; immediately after wards the firing commenced. I was carried about halfway up the embankment by the crowd of negroes rushing by me; when I looked around I saw prisoner in the same place that lie was before tbe firing commenced; I was there when the first shot was fired, and stayed there until the last; the prisoner bad not reached the top of the embankment at any time that I wa there. The prisoner could not havegotto the embankment and fired the shots that the witnesses for the State testifies to. The firing tested about fifteen seconds. After snmming up the evidence, Mr. Alley wss acquitted. Bammum’s Snow.—From a letter received this morning from P. T. Baraum, we leam that his great show will be in Macon this Win ter. It will be the grandest show that has ever been seen in the South.

The court-room looked aa hare aa possible, and the officers were as smiling aa a basket of chips. . Wk Do Not Believe It —That the Macon boys hollow out mosquitoes and put a small piece of burning cuudlc in them, and use them as Chinese lanterns. Wc find the above in the Atlanta Constitu tion of this morning. We can inform Bro Whidby that it 1b not true, but Watson, of the Telegi aph, wears a hut made from the fur on the upper lip of an Atlanta gallinipper ami calls it a beaver. They say that the Greeley party never would have carried Fulton county, but for the fact that they dressed up the Ponce de Leon mos quitos and voted them as Democrats. The biggest mosquito wc know of is the fellow who drives the quill for the local column of the Constitution. The City.-—There was a painful gloom on the countenances of our citizens tills morning over the political news from the Northern States which held elections yesterday. It seemed to be conceded that the outlook favor ed, if it did not render eertuin, the re-election of Grant. But later news may put anew phase upon wliat now seems the worst sort of pros pects for the triumph of the Liberal ticket on the full of November. And everyone congrat ulated liinisulf that no matter how that election went, the State of Georgia was all right for ttie next four years. It is universally remarked that our fall trade is backward, money is still scarce for the sea son, ami business not so satisfactory as wc hail a right to expect. This is readily explained by the expression of tlic fact that the first sales of cotton go into tbe vaults of banks for can cellation of drafts, liens and advances upon the growing crop; when tiicse arc all paid off, all sales thereafter will go directly into the market, into general circulation, will revive trade and make matters easy all around. Society News.— For a week or so past, tliose that were ill the secret, have been en gaged in getting all tliose little tilings, such as invitations, w reaths, etc., ready for the mar riage. The young groom, who, by-tlie-way, is a model young man, has been the recipient of congratulations ami an object of interest to those who heard so-and-so snv lie was to be married shortly, lie bore it well, however, for lie was confident of securing a prize in his bride. At half-past six, last evening, the marriage took place at Mulberry street Methodist Church.— Quite a number of the friends of the bride and groom were there as early as six o’clock.— When the hour came, the organ gave fortli its grandest music, and the bridal party passed down the centre aisle of the church and took their position. The bride wore a white organdy overskirt, trimmed with Valenciennes lace and ruffles and orange blossoms, and a soft illusion veil adorn ing her beautiful hair. The bridesmaids were dressed in white organdies and tarletons. The gentlemen were in full evening dress suits. The following were the attendants : Mr. Ed. D. Duncan, Mi6S Eunice Thomson, Mr. R. R. Evans, Miss Clara Wells, Mr. Henry Woodruff', Miss Carrie Woodson, Mr. B. E. Grimes, Miss Ella Woodruff, Mr. R. Morrison Rogers,Miss Lucy Howes, Mr. Walter T. Ross. Miss Minnie Jackson, The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. O. Branch. The happy couple left on the ten o’clock train for Atlanta for a brief bridal trip to Tennessee. Their names: Mr. Win. M. Good and Miss Maggie B. Freeman. “ Oh! they are blest indeed, and swift the hours Till her young sisters wreath her hair in flow ers. Then before all they stand ; the holy vow, And ring of gold—no fond illusions now— Bind her as his. Across the threshold led, And every tear kissed off as soon ns shed, liis house slic enters, there to be a light, Shining within when all without is night; A guardian angel o’er his life presiding. Doubling his pleasure, and his cares dividing! How oft her eyes read his; her gentle mind To ail his wishes, all his thoughts inclined, Still subject—ever on the watch to borrow Mirth of bis mirth, and sorrow of bis sorrow— The soul of music slumbers in the shell Till waked to rapture by the master’s spell; And feeling hearts—touch them but rightly, pour A thousand melodies unheard before.” Ohanobs at W. P. Carlos’. The Great Dry Goods House or 8. Waxelbaum and Brother. —This mammoth Dry Goods House is truly one of the greatest in all the Southern country. We doubt if there are many which are more extensive on the North American continent outside of New York and Philadelphia, and even in those cities there are not many carrying heavier stocks or doing a larger trade. Occupying the centre of Triangular Block— running through from Second street to Cot ton Avenue, and from cellar to roof, there are live grand divisions to the establishment. The cellars or ground rooms are used for packing and unpacking goods for all depart ments and for the storage of Domestics. The right hand floor above is the chief whole sale department, and here we find a ship load of Prints, Domesticß, Alpaccas of all colors, Janes, Bleachings, Shirtings, Stripes, Checks, Ginghams, Fancy Dress Goods, Ked and White Flannels, Opera Flannels, Tickings, Brown Coods, Corsets, Linseys, Poplins, and so on, running through the entire catalogue. On the left is the general Retail Room, and a busy scene it always presents, morning, noon and night. It would be much easier to tell what is not in there than what is. It contains among other things the largest stock of silks in Georgia—some of them running aB high as 1100 per pattern. Our ladles can find anything there from an inch of ribbon to a cashmere shawl. The two floors above are set apart for ready made clothing, boots, shoes, liata, shawls, hosiery, gloves, linens, shirts, balmoral skirts, cloaks, blankets, quilts and notions ad infini tum. But it is useless to call every article by name, it would take up half the space In our paper. Dealers must go and see for themselves. A su perficial glance makes one think there is enough on baud to supply the whole trade of Macon for months to come, and yet so great is the trade of the house, it is necessary to send ofl' new orders! for fresh supplies almost every day in the week. Scarcely a steamer leaves New York for Savannah without having con signments for “S. W. & 8., Macon.” The Senior requests us to make the positive statement as a fact that t/iey tell at New York price*. We found the house this morning full of country merchants and citizens, and every clerk just as busy a* he could be; and no wonder, for such a stock as that will attract people to it the dullest day in the week, and at this season no one wishing to purchase will go by it. A targe capital, industry, the most scrupu lous honor, and a long series of years devoted to the business, has placed tills bouse in the front rand of Dry Goods Dealers in Georgia. It is known far and wide as such and will continue to b for a long time to come. octfl-3w Tu* First Flos.—A part of the first lot of dried tigs of lids year’s curing ranched Macon yesterday The enterprise of our friends, Messrs.
