London, June 2.—A Vienna dispatch
to tbe lime: says tne concession of Gov
ernor-General Aleka Pasha to the popu-.
lice in not hoisting the Turkish flag and
not wcarning tbe Fez cap, have produced
a very bad effect at Constantinople-—es
pecially on tue Saltan, who seems to at
tach far greater importance to these mat
ters than his ministers.
The Sultan is said to be determined to
insist on hoisting the Tarkuh flig. It is
stid stringent instructions to that effect
hsve already been sent to Aleka Pasha.
It is also intended to lay the case before
tbe powers.
Aleko’s conduct is considered insalting
and as the first step in a movement
which, in the end will render the Porte V
authority altogether illusory.
This tear seema not altogether b ur-
less as the agitation commenced in favor
of a native commander of militis, which
points toward a denial or limitation of
tbe Sultan’s treaty-light to appoint the
malitia officers.

Richmond, June 2.—Judge Christian,
of tne Hustings Court, to-day gave bia
answer to iha petition of the committee
cf colored citizens asking him to sum
mon as jurors all persons entitled to
nponltho pell books without discrimina
tion between white and black mho.: Toe
petition was presented in oonformity
with a resolution adopted by tbe conven
tion of colored people held in this city on
May lCLb, for the purpose of considering
measures for tbe amelioration and im
provement of the oolored rsoe, eto.
Judge Christian, in answer, says:
After a calm and deliberate considera
tion, be concurs fully in the reasons giv
en by bis predecessor, the late Judge
Q iigon for refusing the petition, sikmg
teat colored.persons accused of crimes be
tried by colored juries. Tbe form and
substance of tbe present petition, howev
er, being different and the laws for sum
moning juries m this court having been
obageod, ho deems it necessary to give n
somewhat different answer. He quotes
from the liw* prescribing the qoanfica
tions of jurors and the m*n ter in wbioh
they shall be aummoued and says there
can be no question tbat tbe State has a)
right to prescribe tbe mode in which ju
rors shall be. selected and snmmoned,
and trials conducted in its coarts.' Thi
he sustains by numerous citations
of hisb legal authorities, including Judg
es Marrh<ll, Siorey, Taney, Chase, Waite
SDd »U jadges and text writers who are
worth quoting, both before and etuos tbe
adoption of the recent amendments to
the Federal Constitntion, and claims that
tbe State of Virginia, having explosive
right to do to * , through tin legisla
ture, cooferr-ru him a dulj oi furnish-
itg liiis from whioa the jariea in his
courts i-ball to taken. He recognizis
the equality of oolored people, before the
law, and that they are liable to seive oa
Janes, and says tbat he will eummoo
them for auob service when he deema it
best for the - proper enforcement of the
iaaa of the. oommcnwealib. Tne only
principle which has governed, ox .will
hereafter govern him, in the discharge of
«bo duty cf eeleoling Jnrors, is that
whioh will eDable him to oomply with the
law; and at. the same time seoure the best
material for its proper enforcomont.
On one cf bis points beeayc: when I find
I can do thiS’by selecting colored persons,
I wilt do eo,-bus not till then. If I were
disposed to do eo, it wculd be eimpfy im
possible for mo to select all persona enti
tled to setv^, and whose names appear
on the poll books as prayed for in the
petition and at the same time comply
with the law which says I must select
only such as I think will qualify as ju
rors. There are hundreds in this city
both white and colored, of whom £ have
no opinion one way or the other. Per
sons whom I never can, never will select,
knowing nothing'of their aualificatione.
If I were -to select some oolored jurors,
now, with hundreds of more intelligent,
white persons liable to jury duty that I
know of to select from, such a selection
would be made simply bsoausa thay were
oolo ed, and - as was well said
by my predecessor, I wonld then be ap
plying a test of qualification condemned
by tbe spirit at least of the fourteenth
constitutional amendment and civil rights
bill. Nothing that I hare said or done
or can say or do/ is needed. No addi
tional legislation is neces^try to render
the CDlored citizens more liable under the
law than they now are to jury duty. Ed
ucation, elevation of character, and legal
qualification are tbe only things that I
know of necessary to render persona lia
ble to such doty in this court, and my
experience has taught me that the first
two requisites are not attained by the
admiti&ncs to the jury box, but must
be bad b9forehhnd. No ono appreciates
the colored people of this community
more highly than I do or sympathises
more deeply with them in any
grievance that .they may labor un
der. I was reared in their midst
and hope to die with the same surround-
iags, bn: I do not utdorstand from their
petition that they have been aggrieved
by anything I haye done, except I have
not compelled them to bear cni of the
burdens toiirhicb the law has made them
liable. Ia conclusion, Jadge Christian
ears : As before stated, -I- have in the
past selected the -bsit material I could
find, Libia to ducharge-these important
trusts to be confided to them, and I rx-
peet to do the same in the < fntariP with
an eye single to what I understand to bo
my dutv under tho law, and whatl be
lieve to be the best and highest interest

Tbe funeral of Hon. Eben C lager-

notice of the trial of James L. Howell,
Charged with the crime of murder, which
elicited a large share of tho legal talent
of that region. The case was called on
Wednesday, and. it was not until Friday,
the 231 of May, that a jury could be ob
tained. The examination of wifheBseb
continued nntil 'the following Monday.
Captain Hammond then "opened for the
defense for his clients, speaking over three
hours. Solicitor Mitobell followed for
the State in a.three hpyra’ speech—mak
ing; it is said by his friends, ihe greatest
and most successful effort of his life.
Colonel McIntyre thea spoke about the
same length of time for the defense, in
his most logical and convincing way.
Jadge Alexander followed for the State
in a two hours’ talk. Ho spoke with that
power of logic for which he is celebrated.
GapUio Turner for the defease closed tho
arguments, and spoke for five hoars and
a bait. He fully sustained his reputation
at an astute re»soner and deep thinker.
Thio brought the ewe to Wednesday
mid day. The Judge charged the jury
end they went out to make up their ver
dict, and it was Thursday night before
they could agree. At eight o’clock they
came together and made a verdict of not
guilty.
The case consumed nine days, and wes
one of the hardest fought battles known
in the history cf (he county.
t The evidence was purely circumstan

two men without positive testimony to

seems to bs an almost universal desire
npon ths part of the citixcns of Stew
art county to have a change made in this
judicial circuit. There is no objeotibn
whatever to Judge Crawford, as he is
highly esteemed by theentire community,
but the people think the interests ofthe
county wonld be advanced by having
Stewart transferred to either the Pataula
or tbe Southwestern circuit. As it is,
Stewart is the last connty reached in the
Chattahoochee circuit and the bench and
bar is worn out when they roach us. Con
sequently the duties of tho court are irk
some and if a lawyer can possibly avoid
it he will hot attend, which causes the
buainws to accumulate. We believe
tbat some change will be made at the
next session of the Legislature, and we
think there should. be, as Judge'Craw,
ford has enough to attend to, leaving out
our county.

A Foul , I4ubdes. — Tho Columbus
Times gives tbe followiog ncoount of the
killing of Matt Leonard, a negro: ’
About threo weeks ago Matt Leonard,
tbe murdered man, a negro apparently
abant fifty years of age, called at the
faodSe, and requested Sarah Tice, the oc
cupant of the room and tbe woman men
tioned above, to let him keep bia things
there nntil he coold find a permanent
place of employment. This was elicited
from Sarah Tice; bnt it seems that tho
murdered negro and Sarah Tied have
einco that time been living together,
Matt wonld go to work and return at in
tervals. , Upon several occasions Peter
Martin, a mulatto, twenty-five years of
age, called at the place, and remained a
shorttime whenever he celled. Yesterday
evening he came again about candle light
and met Matt in the room. 8oon after

Interesting Remtnlsoenses ol
tbe Late Or. William r. Feay
Albany, Ga- May 31st, 1879.
Colonel S. H. Jones, 11aeon, Oa :
My Very Dear Friend:—I have with
much pleasure read your article on Dr.
William Temple Feay, lately deceased in
Savannah, and the reminiscenseB of Col
onel I. W. Avery, of Atlanta, one of the
Doctor’s “boys,” and also tbe graVer
communication to the Horning News by
another pupil, who is now tbe peer of any
practitioner at tho Savannah bar. Each
one of these papers fills a separate place.
I knew the Dr. as a man, a scholar, a bot
anist, and an intimate friend. He wae
not communicative of matters personal,
to himBelf, but I learned from hiqx that
his father died when he himself was a
boy, aud after his mother’d second mar
riage, he of his own choice left her home.
That independence of spirit whioh sof
peculiarly characterized him had much
to do with his leaving, as it did with the
shortness of his sojourn ia Franklin Col
lege,.and tbe termination of the “lore
affair” to wbioh Colonel A. alludes. , I
knew much,, perhaps more, than any
other, about all these matters; bnt, dear
Colonel, they are ended long ago, and
the parties to the^ have been loogat
rest, so let them also sleep.
- It is true that when he came into pos
session of his patrimony he baoame ac
quainted with the “real times” men, and
with them he spmetimes offended.Bao-
chus. Bat when hiB money wad gone,
his offenses near the shrines of tbe jolly
god ceased also, .Not one ravel would .be
participate in when ha 'coald no longer
pay his part or reciprocate. He tamed
himse-f away to the work of hia life with
his unique manliness and tenacity; and
ms unique manliness ana tenacity; ana
as be took up, all unnsed to them though
he was, the implements ^ithi. which the
teacher works,.ha laid aside all thosb oth
er hindaranoes. When I first knew hte&i
in 185d.he was a “teetotaller,” both as re-
garde -alcohol .find tobacco. He wonld
not use them as medicine even. Ha was
once suffering from a .protracted attack
of . acute. rheumatism, and his medical
aivisertqld, him he must takepokabemea
in brandy. He refused. “Then,’-’Saps
his friend,’’you must die,” “I will die,
then,”said hc; “but Uki it I win not!”
Ol this tenacity of purpose there are
many anecdotes. The study of batany
was bi-gun because he feared that chemi-
c il pursuits in hi* laboratory to which.be.
car ardently dieted, injured his health.
Of the difficulties that he met with in
that study at.flrst, and the pluck with
which roogbt against them, until he con
quered I know many instances, which
would much effect the risibles of the in
itiated. I cannot speak now of the supe
rior proficiency to which he attained In
the “gentle science.” He cot only cor
responded, bnt was also acquainted with
Prof. Gray, of Haward, Dr. Obapman, of
When Savannah was taken in 1864,
wagon loads of his book3 wero stolen.
Only a thief, one who valned them solely
-for their money’s worth, wonld have
plundered them. Bnt the prey exceeded
tbe robber’s greed; and many- books still
remained. Whioh brings me to my lost
point. In yonr editorial, dear Colonel,
yon intimate that the Dootor died a pan
per; and make the natural reflation *'h
poorly even our bast educators are paid.'
You will be glad to know of yonr mistake.
He died possessed of the remains of. this
library and other articles of vlrtn and
value,worth together,at a very low valua
tion, $2,000. When he was stricken with
paralysis, two years ago, being a bachelor,
that he might have every attention, he
was taken to tbat magnifioeni charity, the
Savannah hospital. Ic was the best plaoe
for him in the whole world. He was
no Charity patient in the eyes of the
managers, and medical officers. They
often told his friends who oared for him
with fraternal affection, that Dr. Feay,
with hts long and successful service in
Savannah as a teacher had earned every-
thingthey could dofor him, and that he
should have whatever he needed as long
asheebosed to atayj not osagifr, bur
as a debt. All honor to them, I know
you will say. The then President of the
Hospital, Mr. Wm. Danoan, a citizen of
Savannah, forward m all good works for
half a century, died not long bo
fore Dr. Feay; and his son, Dr;
Dancan, the chief physician, was
ever*uarefnl- that —the kind intentions
of -the authorities were always accom
plished. . When he died, his funeral
expenses were temporarily advanced by
bis constant friends, to be repaid to them
out of the proceeds of his estate. His
pall bearers were among the best citizens
of the city, whioh he had served eo long
and. well, bis former pupils and the tesoh-
ers of the public schools. As a favor to
spot so many soores of times with him.
ana wuu wisnea nis beloved companion
to be associated with him and his, even to
the last of him on earth. Ah 1 my dear
Colonel, men loved Dr. Feay; and of
how few of ns oan that be Bald. He
died full of years and honors, attended
by the riob, the learned and the good,
and clad with a wealth of sffeotion’ sel
