—What is said to be the largest billevor
Introduced Into a legislative assembly was
the new code submitted to the Ohio Senate.
It continued 8.2D0 pages, and, as it was in-
listed that it should be read in foil, the
Benate sat up till midnight to hear it through;
6Ven at that, hundreds of pages, it is repor
ted, were slyly skipped.
_8omo of the fashion writers say that the
models of new dresses ehowa decided ful
ness. Clinging dresses, it seems, are slowly
but eurely going out, and tied-back dresses
are becoming things of the past. Many of
he women drowned when the Princess Alice
went down were so encumbered by their
skirts that they could not help themselves
when help was given them.
—China will soon have established diplo

After establishirg a legation at Madrid he
will go to Pern for the purpose of establish

Meeting 1 of the Called Session,
ELECTION OF MB. RANDALL SPEAKER.
Congress, aooording to call, met in ex
tra session yesterday at noon. In the
Hoaae, it is said, every man on the clerk’s
roll was there save two—one Indepen
dent and one Bidloal'from New York.
The night before, at a Demooratio oau-
ous of House members, Randall, as we
anticipated, was nominated on the first
ballot. His majority over four contest
ants for the nomination was four. His
majority over bis principal competitor
(Blackburn) was eighteen
The next day in the House four and
eighteen still ruled. Randall was elected
on the first ballot by four majority over
four competitors and by eighteen over
nis regular contestant, General Garfield,
who had received the Radical caucus
nomination. This coincidence is eingu
Ik
The Greenbsokers made a smaller show
than the smallest predicted for them.
They polled for their oandtdate thirteen
votes, and he voted for Kelley. They,
therefore, have fourteen votes in the
House—a good squad for bushwhacking
and guerilla service, bat it is not big
enough to rul9 the empire, and, though
threatening to do great things in the next
Presidential election, will be able to do
only a little misohier, and wind up
their small affairs with the close of the
fight. It does not, as numbers now
stand, hold the balance of power m
the Honse. If it all goes over to the
Ridio&Is the well-rope would still be too
short; but we are inolined to think that,
in general, it will.divide between parties.
The Demooratio majority, however, is
very meager and with the enstomar; ab
senteeism would be often m the vocative.
It behooves the Demooratio members,
therefore, to be as oonstant and steady as
the snn in its coarse.
The Blackburn Democrats have been
badly disappointed in the result. They
were very confident of success and must
be correspondingly unsettled by defeat.
But they have behaved very well under
it. The course of Blackburn, in so
frankly coming into the support of the
nomination after the result was ascer
tained, will, wp hope, ensure the minority
a correspondly frank and generous
treatment Imm tho victors. Let tho
Democratic L.o.nerhood consolidate to a
man, and mov > shoulder to shoulder in
the grand struggle for the principles and
usages of free government which has
now commenced. They will need every
man and the best he can do.
The strongest evidence ’of conscious
inability on the part of the House Radi
cals to elect any nominee is afforded by
their caucus nomination of J. H. Rainey,
of South Carolina, (colored) for Clerk of
the Haase. This idle compliment was a
cheap sop to the colored Cerberus. They
would never have thrown it had' it been
worth anything. They gave no nomina
tions to the colored Radicals when they
could mako them good for anything by
a subsequent election. In respeot to the
oolored element of their party the gener
osity of the Radical leaders is just as per
fect and free as that of good old Aunt
Nancy White to the heathen. She had a
great love for the heathen—had Miss
Nanoy, and displayed it frequently by
gifts of no value. Whatever came to her
hands that could be put to no other nse
took the ever returning direetion “Send
it to the heathen.'' The Radiosl breth
tea show their regard for the colored
order in the same way. Their gifts are
valaehss.
TheSoez Canal.
Tho Baltimore Sun summarizes the
condition of the Suez canal traffic and
credit, as stated in a communication from
Mr.Farnnm,United States consul to Cairo,
addressed lately to the S’ate Department,
in a very brief and saccinct manner. The
fuiao uOut ot lue canal, 1C IB buu...,
{92.273.007 The stock of the company
consists of 400.000 shares at a par value
of $100 each, which have sold as low as
$20, and at the opening of the canal had
advanced to only $69. They are now
quoted at $143.40, and are probably
worth more. The 176,602 shares
purchased by the British government
were bought at $113. CO. This great
purchase, aside from its political and
commercial advantages, thus yields a
clear profit of $5,000,000 at present pri
ces. The balance of the stock is held by
a large number of persons, mostly in
France.
The revenues have increased from
$1,000,000 in 1870 to over $6,000,000 in
1877. Tne expenses, including ainking
fond and land, have been a little over
$3,400,000 per year, the actual expenses,
deducting interest and sinking fund, be
ing about $1,000,000 annually. The
smell comparative c03t of maintaining
the canal arises from the fact that there
are no locks or lateral embankments to
be broken, and there is little to be done
except ordinary cleaning. Vessels draw
ing 25 feet pass through the canal. Brit
ish ships going to India through the ca
save a distance*of 5.000 miles. Two-
thirds of all vessels going through it are
British. M. da Lesseps, the chief of the
enterprise, expresses the opinion that the
proposed Panama canal muBt be con-
s'.ructed without locks to be successful.

The New York Herald of Sunday says
for the fourth time m five weeks it was
compelled that day to issue a quintuple

A. NoveljjSituatlon.
After a generation of unchallenged sm
premacy in the Senate which they have
exercised without mercy or moderation,
the Republican brotherhood of the Sen
ate find themselves in a minority. They
cannot reolizs the situation. They don’t
know what to make of it. On the other
hand, the Democratic Senators feel equal
difficulty in realizing that they ate no
longer the helpless subjects of an arro
gant majority.' The Baltimore Sun cor
respondent, illustrating the novelty of
the situation, says:
A Saaator Inquired whether
the Demooratio canons would be
held in the comparatively small
committee-room upstairs in which the
Democrats, by Republican permission,
have heretofore conducted their seoret
deliberations. “Not exactly," responded
Senator Beck. “We are In the majority
now, and we will take possession of the
reoeption-rocm." So into the reception-
room they marched, a handsome and spa
cious apartment, adorned with the most
gorgeouB fresooing, and furnished in
rioh and expensive style. As the Demo
crats filed in and took their seals they
gazsd around with an intense bnt natural
cariosity. In this room there has, in the
last sixteen years, been matured, in star-
ohamber oonolave, all the desperate and
revolutionary partisan legislation by
whioh the Republicans vainly sought to
perpetuate their power. If walls could
speak, what a tale they would tell. For
awhile, at least, it will not be given over
to the objeots and purposes of the past;
and indeed all well wishers of the Re
public may hope that some at least of the
deeds whioh bavo been deoreed there may
have no parallel in our fature history.
When the doors were oloBed and the sen
tinels placed at them to warn off all in
truders, the sensations of those sentinels
who have hitherto been on guard .in the
interests of their own party must have
been peonliar also, although it is not like
ly that their reflections were altogether
of an agreeable nature.
The Republican Senators, however,
still failing to realize that they are no
longer masters of the sitnation, have
already submitted their caucus projet
for the guidance of the Senate, and upon
it may very possibly arise the clash and
clamor of an argumentative battle on
the general issue which resulted in the
failnre of the appropriation bills, and
which both sidea seem equally deter
mined to push to extremity. The Radi
cals proclaim that they will fight for their
partisan control of the ballot box to the
bitter end, and the Democrats aro equally
resolved that there shall be no grant of
money unless on tho concession of a free
ballot. It is a big fight.
Tbo Conflict oi Jurisdiction In
Virginia.
A deputy United States Marshal, on
Friday last, arrested Judge J. D. Coles,
of the County Court of Pittsylvania conn-
ty, Va. Judge Cole3 is 1 one of the five
jadges recently indicted in the United
States District Court for tbo failure to
place colored men on jaries. Tho arrest
ed judge informed the marshal that he
would offer neither ball nor personal re-
oognizince, and was bis prisoner, ready
to be dealt wl b as such. The marshal
then said be would not imprison the
judge, but would hold him as his pris
oner, allowing him the freedom of the
ooanty.
The judge immediately signed an ap
plication, which bad been already pre
pared, to Chief Jnstioe Waite, of the
United States Supreme Court, for a writ
of habeas corpus, and forwarded it to At
torney-General FieldB, at Richmond.
Judge Rives telegraphed to Danville on
Friday expressing great Surprise that the
marshal should have been so haBty in
serving the warrant.
The Supreme Couit of the United
States, in answer lu a petition from the
counsel for the State of Virginia, has
issued a rale requiring Judge Rives to ap
pear before it on the 31st day of March
to show osuse why a writ of mendamuB
should not issue commanding him to
cause to be delivered to the jailer of
Patrick county, Va, the bodies of Bur
well and Lee Reynolds, tbs colored men
abont whom the dispute between Judge
Rives and the State authorities has
grown.
ALAK1I IN SITKA.
A Naval Fight Fending.
A Victoria (Vancouver’s Island,) die
patch of tho 16th instant, says the steam,
er California arrived from Alaska this
morning, with news that the Indians wero
preparing for war. H. B. M. ship Osprey
and.the United States cutter Walcott had
reached Alaska. The Chiefs received
the 03?rey cordially, but informed her
commander that they could take the
W-i.-o s whenever they chose. The Wal
coll uad gone to intercept a flotilla of
hobtile canees which were on their way to
destroy the town of Sitka. The Osprey
reenforced the Walcott with a number of
marines and a Gatling gun.
The situation is alarming, and the Os
prey will remain nntil relieved by an
American man-of-war. The chiefs were
given two hours to produce a certain fe
male witness to the Brown morder. They
pretended that the woman was absent,
bnt produced her long before the time ex
pired. Sho confessed to having eeeri
Brown’s body after he had been shot
twice. The body was then wrapped up
in blankets, weighted with stones, and
thrown overboard. The Osprey had not
been in port five minutes beforo the In
dians surrendered Brown’s gun, axe,
.books, etc. The California has three wit
nesses to the murder on board.
A Remarkable Deatb.
At Bed Rook, Pennsylvania, Saturday,
an unknown man, evidently intoxicated,
staggered through the streets with a bag
on his shonlders containing nino quart
cans of nitro-clyceriue. A few minutes
later the town was shaken and the inhab
itants terribly frightened by a most ter-
riflo explosion. Investigation revealed
tho fact that the man had slipped down,
oausingthe explosion, whioh scattered
the fragments of his body in every‘Creo-
tlon-
Heavy Drinking.
The New York Times of Saturday gives
some BEtonnding statistics to show the
enormouB capacities ot the population of
that city for drink. It says that perhaps
no better notion of the interest which the
walking contest developed, as represent
ed b* the attendance at Gilmore’s Garden,
can be gained than by a transcript of a
tally kept at the bar. Up to Friday
morning, the Timet states, ’there were
sold over the counter 276,543,210 glasses
of Jbeer, 8,496,631 glasses of whi-ky,
1.476,000 glasses ot brandy, and 400,000
pretzels, to say nothing of chowder,
sandwiches, and the hundred and one
other substances for staying the appetite
and quenching the thirst. The lucky
proprietor proposes to retire on the
profits of his $2,500 investment for bar
privileges.
The walking match commenced at 1
o'clock on Monday morning, and.up to
Friday morning 100,000 Dersons may
have been in the Gardp'n, bnt this is a
very large estimate. The Times would
have us believe tbatoachof these 100,000
pesple had consumed in that time 2,760
glasses of beer, 85 glasses of whisky end
14 glaises of brandy, to siy nothing of
the seltzer and Bpoliiuaris water. The
drinking match must have been more
wonderful than the walking match.

Tampa, Fla., March 18, 1879. .
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : When
I last wrote you cur camping party were
enjoying themselves hunting and fishing
in the interior, some twenty miles from
this place, and were anticipating, with
even more pleasure, a trip along the
coast to Charlotte Harbor, the “Hunts
man’s Paradise," about which we had
read and heard, so many wonderful
stories. So we returned to Tampa and
took the Eteamer for Manatee, where we
were to embark in a sailing vessel for
our destination. We found a vessel tol
erably well suited to our pnrpose in the
schooner “Express,” commanded by
Capt. Ed* Dawson, a man of culture and
intelligence, a first-rate sailor and well
acquainted with the coast whither we
were bound.
We were detained in Manatee one day
by threatening 'weather and adverse
w'inds, daring which time we learned of
a fresh let of wonderfnl fishing and hunt
ing resorts that could not afford to bs
missed, all of whioh we resolved to inves
tigate on onr way to Charlotte Harbor.
So we set sail in fine spirits, fully re
solved to throw away all fish under ten
pounds in weight, to shoot no deer that
didn’t have horns, and to utterly despiae
all wild turkeys without bear is. And
then, too, were we not in the remantio
country where the “Young Marooners"
performed so many wonderful exploits—
a fact of itself sufficient to make all the
smell boys at home regard us as fa
vored mortals. I had made up my mind
before leaving Georgia that 1 would try
and camp on “Marooners Island,’* in the
very spot where Mary and Frank (?) had
the bear fight, but I couldn’t find the
place. However, of that more anon.
The first day we were greatly entertained
by watching the large numbers of peli
cans engaged in fishing all along our
route, and the curious maneuvers of the
sea gulls in their efforts to deprive them
of their hard-earned prey. Each pelican
seems to have a special gull as an atten
dant, and when the former dives for his
fish, on coming out of tho water the gull
is hovering over him—sometimes alight
ing on the pelican's head—sometimes on
his back, and, if the big bird is not care
ful in manipulating his fish, the robber
snatches it from him and is eff in a
twinkling. They say that the gull will
sometimes even steal the fish from the
pelican’s pouch, but this I did not see.
We killed several of these awkward-look
ing, but really very handsome birds, the
prettiest shot being made by Mrs. G.,
who killed one with a Winchester rifle at
a distance of at least one hundred and
fifty yards.
The first night we camped on Long
Key, which, as it w&3 not far below the
month ot Tampa Bay, tught to have been
the island where the devil fish landed the
“Young Marooners," but if so the ro
mance has all gone from it long ago. A
more dreary, desolate place could hardly
be conceived, and we left early next day
without regret. Having a very light
breeze we only sailed abont twelve miles
and again pitched oamp—this time at an
aM tho OataS3t&
Island. After the night spent here the
romantio visions wo -had formed about
these wonderful islands began to disap
pear before the dread realities of fleas
and bad water. Our sailing had hereto
fore been inside the Keys, bat now we
had to try the open gulf. After six miles
of outside sailing we cast anchor in little
Sarasota Bay, a spot we were anxious to
reach, as we expected to find game and
fish there in abundance, and oysters as
Urge as saucers. By this time tho veni
son we had brought from our camp in
the piney woods was nearly exhausted,
and Hooke sadly announced—yes, with
teats almost in his eyes—that if we didn’t
do something for ourselves in the way of
hunting he would have to make a raid
on that Western bacon fpr breakfast next
morning. On Sarasota Bay we camped
several days, and while in the matter of
fi3h and oysters we had an abundance,
we wero disappointed about those ant
lered bucks and bearded gobblers. But
I will not trouble you with the details of
our trip. Wo were dreadfully disappoint'
ed in the character of the coast islands.
We expected to find delightful stopping
places everywhere along enr route, but
wo spent two weeks looking for a good
place for a permanent camp and found
it not. The islands, as well as the adja
cent mainland, are too rough and tangled
with all eorta of impenetrable under
growth either for camping or hunting.
There aro thousands of birds in Charlotte
harbor, bnt they are wild and unapproach
able. Perhaps if we had had a larger
number of men, so as to keep them fly
ing from oue point to another, we could
have had good sport; but as it was we
gave it up as a business. We were anx
ions to kill a white pelican, of whioh we
saw large numbers, but a quarter of a
mile waa as near as we could approach
them, and when they did fly they seemed
to take leave of that section of the coun
try. They are mnch larger than the,
grey pelican and perfectly white, except
the tips of their wings which are jet
black. They mast be splendid-looking
birds, and we were anxious for Dr. £.
to try hi3 hand as a taxidermist on one of
them.
Snnday, the 23d of February, we spent
on “Gasparilla Island," in Charlotte
Harbor, and were meditating a trip np
the Myaka river, having learned by thU
time that the back oonntry was superior
to the coast in everything that makes
camp life pleasant and attractive. Bat
tho prospect was that it would take ub
several days to reach the point on the
river to which we were directed, and
when wo oontempiated how long it might
take us to make the return trip we con
cluded to abandon it, and make onr way
back to civilization. This we accom
plished in four days, and reached Mana.
tee in.nafety after an absence of a little
over two weeks.
. Here the party separated—Dr. B. and
Mr. T. concluding to go on up tho coast
to Cedar Keys in the schooner, and the
writer and his good lady returning to
Tampa to spend a week cr two at the
'Uiange Grove Hotel," of which wo had
carried with us each pleasant recollec
tions.
In all our varied experience daring
the past month we have met with polite
ness and kind attentions on evt-ry hand,
and we shall not soon forget the many
pleasant acquaintances we have met.
The weather, too, haa been kind and
propitious to a degree which I would not
have dared to anticipate. I have now
been six weeks on this ceaet, and wo hive
had only two stormy days—and oue of
these it was dear and pleasant by 11
o’clock in the morning. The tempera
ture haa been mild and spring-like, but
at the same time it has not been enervat
ing like our spring weather in Georgia.
It seems to me that this coast is far pre
ferable as a resort for invslids to tbo St
John’s river country. Here the climate
is somewhat like that of the tropicB, tho
winters being dry, and the summer the
rainy season. The great draw back is
the want of quick transportation, for the
average Yankee, be he sick or well, will
not deprive himself of daily mails and
facilities for ‘'getting away" at a mo
ment’s notice, Tampa is just now bony-
ant with the prospects of a railroad to
the St. Johns, to which “State aid’’ ha9
just been granted by the Legislature.
With this road completed, I think the
region around Tampa Bay would offer
induoementa both to tourists and perma
nent settlers, much superior to the east
ern coast As it is, I have been surprised
'to see how largely the Northern element
enters into this community. There is an
avenne some four miles long leading out
of Tampa in a northeasterly direetion,
known as Nebraska Avenue, so-called .be
cause settled entirely on both sides by
emigrants from that distant State. They
have ail set out orange groves, built nice
houses and are improving the country
rapidly.
The prettiest place I have seen in
Florida is what is known in Tampa as
the “Garrison.” It is the site of old
"Fort Brooke," a level sward of grass on
the bay just adjoining the town, shaded
by the most magnificent grove of live
.oaks on the ccast. A more beautiful
site for a hotel oonld not be imagined,
bnt it ia government property, and ia
not on the market for the present. Gen.
Sherman, on hia recent visit to this ccaat^
in order to please the Tampa citizens,
agreed to recommend its sale. With a
railroad outlet, and a fine hotel on that
site, Tampa would soon cause the St.
Jonns river people to look upon her as a
serious rival.
The trade of this coast is principally
New Orleans and Key West, with which
it is connected by lines or steamers. Im
mense numbers of cattle are annually
shipped from various points on Tampa
Bay and Charlotte Harbor to Key West,
several steamers being devoted entirely
to this business—and yet they tell me
that', this ia oue of the best markets ia
.the' country for condensed milk and
Northern butter!
But this letter, already too long, must
at last be brought to a close, leaving
much that might prove of interest un
written ; for while wa were nndoubtedly
disappointed in rot finding a bolter
sporting country in our trip down the
coast, ye. we found something novel and
interesting at every etep and enough to
make tho expedition a pleasant memory
to every one of the party.. T. B. G.
SUPERIOR COURT.
Tbe O’Conner Case—A Jury Selected
and the Evidence Commenced.
Yesterday in the Superior Court the
O’Conner case occupied tho entire day.
The court opened at 9 o’elock. The case
was called, and it was found that an im
portant witness for the defendant was
absent, and the case was accordingly
suspended until half-past 11 o’clock.
After meeting at that hour tho case
was again oontinnod nntil half past one
o'olook. A jury was then slowly selected,
about a hundred jarors been sworn and
interrogated before the requisite number
of twelve impartial men could be selected
to sit In judgment on the oaee.
Many jarors were disqaalifisd on ao-
oount of personal bias or prejndice.
The following jarors were selected to
serve on the case:
EL Drejfous, O. F. Lagoqaist, R. H.
Smith, C. C. Baikoom, J. F. Lake, F. D.
Tinsley, P. J. Doody, G. B. Wright, Leo.
B. Herrington, H.H. Herrington, Charles
E. Holmes, Joseph F. Dasher,
The case is one of muoh interest, and
has excited muoh attention. The death
of the old colored man Sam Franklin,
crested quite a sensation, especially with
the colored people ot the city. During
the trial the very interesting question as
to the authority a policeman has to ar
rest suspected offenders of tho law will
come up.
Solicitor Bartlett opened the case to
the jury and the following evidence was
adduced:
Henry Uccvoo, colored, 4cotI£©«3 ao ful-
lows: Identified tho prisoner. Knew the
deceasi d, Sam Franklin. He is dead. He
died at the City Hall on a Sunday. Laet
saw the deceased with Mr. Jerry O’Con
ner on P plar street. He was carrying
him to tbe barracks. I was standing on
the corner of Second and Poplar streets—
when they got to corner of Second and
Poplar streets, the old man made an at
tempt to go down Second street, and
O’Conner pulled him nearly down and
struck him on the back of the head, and
then shoved him in of him, and 6aid,
“Now, d—a you, rnn, and I will kill you.”
He took him under the arm (showing
jury manner) and carried him on to the
barracks. I watched them np the street.
The next time I saw the deceased was at
tho barracks Monday morning. He was
then dead. Mr. O’Conner was on
the outsido and had Sam Frank
lin by tbe. right arm. He struck
him with his club. O’Conner
made a motion to take ont a pistol, but I
saw none; I was about a hundred and
fifty feet distant; I was on the side of the
street nearest Willingham’s warehouse;
O’Conner and Sam Franklin were at the
ootneron which Campbell & Jones’ ware
house is situated when Sam Franklin was
attack.
Cross-examined—I had not been with
Sam that morning; I had been down to
Mr. Hill’s stables at the depot; I don’t
know how far it is to the barracks exact
ly. It would only take a few moments to
reach tbe barracks. I don’t know what
Franklin was arrested for. I saw a bun
dle wrapped up ia a brown paper in his
hand. I did not notice that he seemed
to be drinking before bo was struck.'
They went on to the barracks. I did not
see deceased before he was arrested. Mr.
O’Conner’s left hand wa3 on Sam’s right
hand. Sam had the bundle in his left
hand. I have known Franklin two or
three years, I was friendly with him. Not
particularly bo. I knew Sam before be
was in the panitentiary; (ruled onr,)
O’Conner held the club in his right hand
and drew back and hie him as hard as he
could; I saw the dead body on Monday;
did not hear O’Connei say for what he
had arrested him; I did not follow them;
don’t remember whether I saw anybody
else around at the time of the blow or not;
Sam made an attempt to rnu, to go down
Second street; O’Conner was with him;
both were scuffling along together; Nam
sometimes drank; have seen him drink
ing.
In rebuttal—Sam had his hat on; his
head was bushy like mine; they came
from toward the car ehed.
J. P. Chapman, watchman at tho bar
racks, testified: j^waa keeper of tho bar
racks on the 2nd of February last. (Wit
ness identified barraok’s reoard ) It is
kept by two of nr. There are two watoh-
men. (An entry was ehowa witness and
identified by him.) Daooased was placed
in the barracks at 7:16 a. m. that day I.r
safekeeping; I searched and looked him
up; about eight o’clook I saw him again ;
I never saw him again nntil after he waa
dead; I have no idea when he died; I
discovered it at 12:15; he was lying on
hia back ; (Question—Under what war
rant was he plaoed in (ho barracks ? Ob
jected to; overruled.) None at all: I
thought he was drinking when
O’Conner put him in, baoanse he
staggered. I smalt spirits on.him. There
waa a post mortem examination on hit
body. 1 don’t know by whom it was made
except by hearsay. When I found that
he waB dead, I felt him. I don't know
hew long he bad been dead. His body
was not cold. When anyone isjpnt in the
barracks for neing drunk and disorderly,
tho entry is drunk and disorderly. Safe
keeping means for various charges.
When a party is committed 'and tho
charges .known, it is pnt down. I
don’t always know what safe keep
ing is for. Tbe offieer* know.
Cross-examination—The charges a.re
sometimes preferred the next day, when
anyone is arrested, and sometimes not; J
made the entry the same morning; when
ca:Oa are taken to the County or Superior
Court, they are usually taken with a war
rant. What is the practice in such
cases? (Objection made; argument;
objection sustained); the police some
times arrest on a ararrant and sometimes
do not; O’Conner told me why he arrested
the prisoner; (objection made; sustained,
and that part of the testimony ruled ont)
I locked him up; he made no complaint
of having been struck; talked rationally;
I had occasion to be near, but not to pass
Franklin’s cell a few momenta after ten
o’clock; I went in to tarn two men oat;
a cell was between Franklin’s and their
cell; I heard a noise; don’t know whether
it waa from Franklin’s cell or not;
I don’t now remember whether there
was a man in the intervening cell. The
best of my knowledge is that the noise
was from Franklin's cell; a keg waa in
him cell; no one bnt O’Conner and the
prisorer were in the barracks when he
was brought in; O’Conner brought in and
left a pair of ladies’ shoes; I think O’Con
ner brought them in himself; he told me
he got them from Sam.
Do yon know anything about the gen«
cral character of Franklin?
Objection made except as to violence.
Objeoticn sustained as to general char
acter and reputation.
In rebuttal: I found body abont cen
ter of oelL They are eight by ten feet, ■
or may be ten by twelve. He was laying
on hia back, the baok of tbe head touch
ing tbe floor abont five feet from tbe
door. The feet were not direotly toward
the door. The keg was on the left band
aide of the door, just near enough to it so
you oonld pass in and not touoh it.
Reeroased: I saw the keg. If ha had
fallen on the keg, it might have killed
him or it might not.
The esse will be oentinntd this mom.
ing at 9 o’olook. The State is represent
ed by Win. Bartlett, Hon. Sam Hall and
Mr. P/oudfif, and the prisoner by Colo

Editors Telegraph and Messengers The
regular monthly meeting of the abeve
farmers’ olub was held in Howard Dis
trict on the seoond Saturday in this
month, and was largely attended by the
intelligent, progressive and well-to-do far
mers of tbateboioe neighborhood of Bibb
oonnty. The club room is looated near
tbe oenntry residence and plantation of
Mr. RoberrE. Park, and near tbe store

Hon. A, M. Lockett is the President and
Mr. W. D. Johnston Secretary of the club.
The Executive Committee is composed
of Colonel J. W. My rick, B. W. Lundy

of new members have been added to their
list, and premiums have been offered for
the best acres of corn, cottoD, wheat, oats,
sugar cane, etc; for the best fruitB, veg
etables, melons, etc., and it was de

Rip Tan Winkle.
The redeeming feature of the perform
ance of “Rip Van Winkle” last evening
at Ralston Hall was Mr. Robert McWade.
He is an actor of rare naturalness, power
and artistio finish, and in his concep
tion of the part oan be seen
the forcefulness and originality of
genius. The character is one in . which
Jefferson has immortalized himself,
so that all other stars are thought to pale
before the lustre of his stellar rays, now
so proudly in the zouith. Mr. McWade
can, however, claim rivalship with the
master, and with some cultivated minds
his conception is even awarded the pref
erence. The version given by him is de-.
cidedly different from that played by Mr.
Jefferson, and in some points is inferior.
The flow of humor is IeBS constant, tbo
Uuco uf me drumsUo plot Ipeb sharply
drawn and the happy denouement clouded
by the absence of the subdued and re
deemed Gretchen.
The climax is less exciting because the
plot ooutains less of vllliany and treache
ry. Mr. MoWade displays in many puts
striking abili'y. The parting scene was
very fine. Tho scenes in which the long
Bleep is broken, end tbe recognition of bis
daughter, Steenie, are passages in the
xeudition where his fall power shone oat.
Mr. McWade is supported by one good
actor, and that is Mr. F. Coippendale.an
old veteran of the foot-lights, who before
the war delighted the Maconites as Sir
Teaslo in the “School lor Scandal,” and
like standard dramas, while snpporting
Marchant and Fleming in their Sontbern
tours.
He is an exoellenl actor, and was much
admired in the doable role of “Derrick”
end “Alderman Knickerbocker.” Miss
Msy Roberts did well in a doable role,
and so did Miss Chris tin e Gregory. Tbe
company is, however, open to oritioism
just here, and being few in numbers
a great deal of confusing doubling
ot the roles is resorted to. This is
allowable in small and insignificant parts,
but should never be done, as it was last
night, where the same actress who played
“Bip’a” wife in the first act plays his
sister in the last, and the lady who
played his sister enacts his daughter. It
confuses the family too fearfully.
The support generally was miserable. In
Maoon, there are six bill posters, who
oonld make Mr. N. Durney, as “Lieuten
ant Peter Btardevant," ashamed of him
self. He ia clumsy, alow of speeoh and
action, and has not the first qualifications
of an actor
We can't imagine why Mr. MoWade
allows snch a stick to persecute his au
diences. They certainly have some
rights. We hope next season Mr. Mc
Wade will como through earlier, and
bring a good troupe. He certainly won
mnch favor last night, aB was attested by
the frequent applause, laughter and
tears of one of the small bnt select au
diences of the season.
Jurors Becoming Punctual.
Judge Simmons is working a much
needed and desired reform in relation to
the prompt attendance of jurors upon the
Superior Court when they have been
snmmased. It is claimed that there
are new no exemptions and every
•ne is subject to jury duty! The
new issue, as they may be called, not be
ing accustomed to respond with due
promptness, nor to obey the injunction to
lay *U other bntineas aside, quite a num
ber have been found absent when their
names were called by the clerk, aud
Judge Simmons, yesterday, entered fines
of ten dollars against a number of
these delinquents. The peonliar circum
stances of the cases which have recently
bean before the Court have necessitated
the summoning of many tales jurymen,
and it is refreshing to see how promptly
they are at their poet now that the pen*
alty of delay is becoming understood.

Ntrill Carolina Backs Down.
We learn that the contemplated chicken
main between the Georgia ShawlneckB
and the North Carolina Clary Eyee, will
hardly take place, as tho North Carolina
raisers of the fancy breeds have backed
down. The ehallenge came first frem the
old North State, and it was thought that
they had fancy fowls that conld step over
anjtuing ever grown on Georgia
soU. The recent record made, however,
at New Orleans by the Shawlnecks, has
weakened their faith in'their birds,and eo
far, it has been impossible to bring them
to the front.
The lovers of the sports of tho gaff and
pit will now be more elated than ever over
the prestige of the Shawlnecks.
The Gibson 'Case.
We are informed that the Impression
has none abroad that Mr. A. F. Gibson
has been released, and will no longer ba
amenable for his violation of the law.
This is a mistake. A mistrial simply leaves
the case in statu quo. and he will be again
arraigned before tbe bsr of justice and
tried for bis life by a jury of his peers.
The trial is expected to take place at the
next term of the court in Msy. The affi
davits of Mr. Wade and Mr. Johnson, and
the certificate of Mr. Greer, indicate
that the jury ccnld not agree upon a
verdiot, and a mistrial followed. It is
thought that bail will sot be granted him.
This matter, Bines tbe mistrial, is disore•
ti nary with the Jadges.
A DISEASE THAI* WRECKS THE
SYSTEM.
Every function is deranged, every
asrve unstrung, every muscle and fibre
weakened by fever and ague. Io is, in
fact, a disease which if unchecked, even
tually wrecks the system. In all its
types, in every phase, it is dangerous,
destructive. Stupor, delirium, convul
sions, often attend it, and cause swift
dissolution. But when combatted with
Hostetter’a Stomach Bitters its foothold
in the system is dislodged, and
every vestige of it eradicated. That
benign anti-febrile apecifio and preven
tive of tho dreaded ecourge is recognized
not only within our own boundaries, bnt
in tropio lands far beyond them, where
intermittenta and remittents are fear
fully prevalent, to be a sure antidote to
the malarial poison and a reliable means
of overcoming disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, of whioh a vitiated tor
rid atmosphere and brackish miasma-
tamted water are extremely provocative.
Ail emigrants and travelers should be
supplied with it. marl8 lw
