Tho other items were found for tbe de fendant along with $24,780 ot interest charged against him, but allowed by the ary at offset to the abtvo amounts, it be- ng theintereKt piidby Jones on the “Clows bonds.” THE BIO HIND ITEM of $149,250, it wni oe seen, was found in favor ot the defendant. Exaolly up n what grounds it was so found can not now bs ascertained, on: tbe likelihood is tba< tbe jury were unable, from the evidence, to find that Jones had been gnilty o' fraud, negligeuas or oartlessuess, in pay ing Fees* bond*. Tbe auditor baa oh.rgtd them to hi* account upon the idea of care lessness and negligence, bolding that he had enffloient notice to pat him on *tmd against these bond*. The jury either moaght differently or adopted tho nr«u- mtnt of Senator Hill that Clew- never bad really paid thorn acd the.Jane* pay ment was tho only and real payment, and fonnd Jones vras not chargeable. This was tbe most hotly contested, as it was the largs.-t item in the bill of charges. A DOUBLE CLEARANCE. With reter-race to tue item of $21,500 it may be sa d that this was the real ngly feature of the ootire proceedings. The circumstances sarrounding this package ot bonds all through the history of the case were of arayire to ixci-e lively in terest in the verdict of the jury as to it It was to Alton Angiet’* connection with the package that trie defease directed their unroofing efforts, which caused him on the stand to decUre 1>U belief that an attemot wa3 aimed at bis character, and which caused his foil and frank avowal of where and bow he had made his money. The auditor reported this item against Jones on tne ground of negligence and carelesEness in making up his vouchers, and it is probsble that the jury took this view in confirming the charge, or count ed it noon tbe idea that the bonds were subsequently abstracted by unknown bands, presented to end paid by JoaeB, when be ought to have known that they had been paid before. The verdict, therefore really lifts from both these gentlemen any suspicion of fraud or criminality in the transactions in whioh these bonds figure. It is said that Messrs. Grant & Nntting will appeal for a. sew trial on the gr uud that the Judge ruled ont “parol evidence of the allegation in their plea .that they signed the bond, . believing it to be only a temporary instru ment.’’ Soma say. the State will ap peal in tbe hop9 of securing a still larger verdict. In any event, the case is des tined to drag its slow length along through many months, and perhaps years. Death or Col. Richard M. Cutlxb.— Savannah News: Col. R. M.

He had threatened to drown himself. About eight o’clock at sight he took off bis ooat and shoes and left them in the bouse. He went off then and she had not seen him since until now. She said that her brother had been whipped in the factory; that he had worked in tbtf spinning room of No. 2 of the Eagle factory; that he had been whipped with a strap, and that one day he had been bang op by cotton bands for ten minuter; that Mr. James Benfroe, the superinten dent of tbe room, had hung him up first, aud that afterwards Maren Hendrix had done eo and whipped him. The general conclusion is that tbe poor lad in the intensity of hie mortification oommi^ed suicide by drownjqg.

Judge Hansell made a rating which .rill be of interest to the pablic generally and to the press, touching the iucompetenoy of jurors. After the usual course of questions bad been asked a juror. Captain Turner, counsel for de fendants, aeked him it ho had read the evidence before the coronet’s inquest as published m tho Times. The juror answered that ho had. He wan than asked if from reading that evidence he had “formed and «xpressed an opin ion an to the gni’.t or innocence of the prisoner at the bar.” Counsel for tho prosecution objected to the question and stated that the juror had already sworn that he had not formed and expressed an opinion from having heard the evidence submitted aider oath—that the law re lated eolely to having heard the evidence. A lengthy debate ensued as to the mean- rag of tbe statute ia question, and the Judge dscidtd that the «pirit of tbo law extended io those having formed and ex pressed an opinion from having read the evidence as well as having heard it. His Honor slated that it was a -ques tion which had never come up before, but in these days »f newspaper progress it would bave to bo decided, aud he gave it trie meaning above indicated. This new ruling threw out many, and conse quently did a good deal to prolong tbe eearoh after competent jutore-—as a great many had read tbe evidence and formed and expressed some kind or shade of &n opinion. If this ruling bolds good, the Legisla ture will have to prohibit ibe publication of each testimony, or el?e, in many cases, it will prove a serious obstacle in the way of procuring intelligent juries, for well informed mnn will read tbe newspapers.

When the present Governor of Maine was in Atlanta, a few days sines ho was interviewed by some of the apostles of temperance who ere in favor of going all lengtbB to whip King Alcohol, and asked whether the prohibitory Maine liquor law was a success or not. This law has been in operation thirty years and wa3 tbe handiwork of the famous Neal Dow. The results of the Governor’s revelation?, which are far from favorable, have been published in tbe Constitution. He sayt: “I am not certain that its operations have been beneficial. There are to many ways of evading it that it is impossible to enforce it. One of the most certain ways is the organization of'elubs.’asthey are called. A barrel of liquor kept at a certain place, is free to all ‘members of ths club ’ Tney of coarse pay their share of the expense, and they go and drink when they pl-a<e. Then again, we find tbat there are a great many se cret bar-rooms hidden away in the vaga bond quarter* of tbe city, usually in cel lar*, back rosins, etc. There bar-rooms, by reason of their secrecy acd the des- perateuess attending tbo keeping of them, are much worse than ordinary bar-room?, and are patronized by a lower class. They are the most vicious holes that can be imagined. Some of them, it Is feared, will breed moire mischief than a dozen ordinary saloons- ’ These vile sinks eoonnt be eradicated because the police are “opsu to bribsa” and in sympathy with the common peo ple who patrenizs them. “It thus hap pens,” says ths Governor, “that we have a great many of these throughout onr cutes and towns and even in the coun try.” Question—“But where there are hon est officials do not the laws prove opera tive snd efficient F” “Not always—and indeed not generally —you see it is very hard to enforce 'the law. It 2b hard to determine just where a man’s constitutional righ’s .end, and where the power of an- espionage con stabulary begins. The extant, for in stance, to which a detective has the right to enter a man’s house and search it, or to disturb his freight in the search for whisky or winos. Points are being continually made on this, and gradually there is a feeling being built up again3 the law. Tha American people do not relish the visits of the searen officer, who comes into their houses aud searches un der their beds and in their closets, dis turbing tbeir wives and obildren, eta. Such things are against their traditions aud their ideas of free government.” Under the Maine law every officsr is allowed a fee for each sabpossa he issues, and the result is that a multitude of these papers are constantly served upon inno cent parties who know nothing ounce ru ing the alleged offense. Bat tbe officials get their fees all the same. Ths Governor also gave some interesting faots concern ing the enbstitntsB for strong drink, whioh are peddlbd all over the State. He says: A man will ooms into your store and will ask you for tbe loan of a pitcher and some fresh water. He will then take a Utttle powder and sprinkle in a tumbler of water, and ask yon to drink it, and tell him what it is. You reply that it tastes like peach brandy. And so ho goes through the wholo list. The various preparations are wonderfully alike tbe liquor a they intend to represent. The fact tbat tho prohibition Iswb make it impossible to get the real staff, renders it profitable to tbe quacks to deal in these nostrums, and they demand big prices for them. They will make a man drank quite as qniokly as liquor itself, and have tbe additional eff-ct of stupefying him to a degree tbat liquor cannot reach. I. have recounted only a few of the meth ods by which those who really deeiro to drink can evade the law and do evade it. Tbo variety and ingenuity of their de vices would astound you, if I had tbe time to gs over them It ia enough to say tbat they do succeed iu getting around tho law. . When wa reflect how muoh deadly poi- ton in tho abapo of opium, strjoboine, etc., is thus retailed all over Maine, it is wonderf al thst this prohibitory law has been allowed to stand. When asked if the Iong-ooniinucmoo of tha law had wrought any perceptible revolution in tbo drinking propensities of the people, tbo Governor replied : The present gecorBtion is, I think, more dissipated than we youngsters were who were raised without any liqnor law. I used to carry barrels of liquor to my atber’s fields, at haying-'ime, for the hands, and they oil had their three dram* a day. I did not see then any mote drunkenness, if indeed as much ns I see now. I have heard men, who have been to Boston and Chicago, come home and say that they did not soo the eamo pro portion of drnnkenneBS outside Mainb that they saw inside the State. I tbluk tbat it has been proved tbat it is im- possible for any law to be enaoied tbut will pat down liquor driubiog. Governor Garculon concluded by say ing that all his sympathies were on tho eide of temperance, but he could not see that tho present law had done anything to check the vice of drnnkardness. * • * A short time ago a socioty of reformed-drunkards was founded in one of onr cities. There were very near tjvo hundred member?. Where they came from I cannot tell. But they bad all be came drunkards under the Maine liquor law. So that wo hare use for temperance lodges in Maine just aa much as else- where. It is tbo old, old story. Persecution always acts m a contrary way, and tends to inoreaeo tbo prevalence even of an ad mitted error. An open Bible, precept and example, and the preached word are the best and only trne means to arrest immorality and inculcate virtue. De&tEi of a JECipe Scholar and S a van—Dr. W. T. Feay. The Savannah News reports tho death m the hospital, ot which he bad been an inmate for two years, of Dr* Wm. T. Feay,. a native of Blaok Swamp, S. 0., and a most polished and thorough scholar. The deceased, forty-three years ago, was theprinoipal of old Banbury Academy, once a famous institution in tbe days of Dr. McWhir, Prof. Shannon, Bev. A T. Holmes and Bev. S. G. Hillyer, D.D. He was among the fits! instructors of ths writer, who loved him tenderly and well. Tbe' Doctor was the trneBt typo ot the anoient, unsophisticated D> minis that we ever knew. Simple hearted, kind, even affectionate to his pupils, he was literally a votary to science. Almost everything we ever learned of grammar, wa3 from the map like edition of Green, leaf, which, together with Day’s algebra, be literally drilled into you nolens volens There was no resisting suoh enthnslastio illustrations, and he was a dullard indeed, even if be never conned hia text books who oonld not learn under Dr. Feay. So absorbed wonld be become in some of bis favorite studies as almost to forget the flight of time. Aa a consequence, the primary eoholars were liebls to be neg lected, bnt not intentionally. Aside from snnff, which he took by handfolls, strange to Bay almost the only indnlgence of this devotee to books was gunning on Saturdays. Occasionally, however, he oonld be eeduoed into qnaff* lag tbe deoeitfol contents ot tbe wine cap. Nothing delighted him more than field sportB, and many a snipe and par tridge hunt have we taken together, al beit lha writer, a mere stripling, ao* eompanied bun only aa a companion. It was veryjseldom that Mr. Fray ever resorted to the ferule, but he did some times in extreme easeB. On such occa sions it was tafe habit to send the delin quents ont to cut their own switches. This reminds us of a scrape tbat the wri ter and his lamented friend- the iste James Seymour once got into. It was a pure piece of mischief, but had to-be atoned for. According to custom, we were sent to procare the rods for oar own flagellation. Poor James cat • most for midable peaoh switch, whioh he then pro ceeded to ring around with his knife, to as to make it not so very terrible after all. His compwion selected a tough oak twig, bnt went aside and inserted an at las batween his shirt and epidermis. In due time, baofc we went, apparently in' great trepidation, to receive onr sen tence from the irate Dominie, but a trifle consoled by tbe precautions which bad been so deftly taken. Oar tarn came first, atd the Doctor, for once* completely thrown off of hie balance, fairly tiptoed to tbe task he bad undertaken. Down rained the blows, each sounding like a small clap of thun der as it descended upon the faithful at tar. Of conns the viotim squirmed and yelled is a manner calculated to draw tears from his sympathising school mater, while feeling nevar a cut. Pant ing and half repenting the severity of the punishment, tha teacher at length tamed bun loose. Then came Jim'* turn, and trie Doctor, placing him in the middle o! the floor, Matched the dreadful looking peach switch. One, two, three strokes fall with smarting effect on the poor fel low's beck, and then suddenly tbe form idable rod went to pieces incontinently, like a glass enake when struck, or the fall cf an earthen pipe. There was a pause, while the Dominie examined the broken fragments, and detected tbe de vice. Poor Jim then came infer a double doso by tne aid of tbe tough oak spront which the atlas had resisted so b rarely J How these boyhood memories do carry one bac k to the olden time-with- it cheq uered scenes of grief and joy which are ineffso*bly stamped npon ths mind. After leaving Suubury, pr, Freay asso ciated with another noted teacher, Mr. Charles Bosignol, for many yearn taught a select oLasical school ia Savannah. He was always regarded as one of tho best educators of yonth in the country, and this,.hundreds of his old pupil* will avouch.
