That is hard. Are our MilledgeviUo trane- gresfeiona never to bo cordoned ? Xiiks. Conflict.—Atlanta Dispatch : About half-past tour o’clock yeoterday af ternoon a core! fight took pi*C9 in the jdr, juat above the oentre of. the city. A bastard, attraoted perhapa from his na tive taunts by the imeU of the decaying alUntnn* trees or stinking sowers, hov ered over tbe city in his nsual swing- aronnd-'.he-ctrde style, and seemed to ■niff something in the way of s delicacy A lock of martins immediately attacked the funl bird, alighting on fata back and flying all over and about him in such Daubers.an to impede his progress arc. cause the scavenger of the air to make strenuous efforts to get* out of the clutches of the ferocious martins. They whined him until bia ire was raised when he turned over over once or twice, and, disengaging ’himself, made a straight shoot op in the air, leaving the martins masters of the field. They no doubt wished to repel any invasion of their territory. Daring the conflict feathers flew in every direction, and it was evi dent that the buzzard would not have yielded bat for the overpowering num bers ot his enemy. Tub Bill Cask.—The Dispatch says : The coart opened this morning, end after disposing of a few prelimlnarns, the order of argument was announced as fol lows : For the State, Messrs. Good win, Hoke Smith and Solicitor General Hill. For the defense, Meatrs. Glenn, Bray and Gartre L > i Before going into argument the Slate produced a letter, referred to in the pris oner’s statement aa being written by Sim mons to Mrs. Hill.whion ths State pro- posed to prove Was not in the handwrit ing of Simmons. Th9 defense objected, but (bo coart ovenaled the objection. The first witness was Earnest Booh, one of the State’s counsels, who testified ihat letter bad no resemblsnoe to the chirog raph? of the diseased. A. A. Brooks also testified that it was not Simmons’ Writing. A. A. Manning was alao put on the stand, and swore that tbe letter was not In tbe dtoised’a handwriting. The Cunrt room has been crowded every day by acxions friends and lookers-on, and tbe interest among those who do not attend has not decreased one whit since the beginning of tbe trial. The result of tbe affair has been freely discussed and a variety of opinions expressed. Many have declared their belief to be that toe prisoner is a monomaniac on the snbjeet of love for hia wife. Others be lieve that tbe jury should render a ver dict of acquittal inatanter, while there are others who think that the prisoner should be punished. Tn-re can be no denying that the pris oner baa a boat of friends. This is made manifest by ths eagerness to applaud any tnrn in the evidence tending to favor him. On tbe same subject that manly and outspoken j .urnal, the Griffin Sun, says: The evidence is positive that Simmons, if cot others, had invadsd the sanctity of Hill's marital relations and added insult to tbe injury by boasting of tbe fact. .Hill’s wito ib but a yonng, vain, foolish end pretty woman who had been reared by kind parents and taught the proprie ties as well as tbe religion of life. Her husband doted cn her and cared for and treated her kindly and even now has not discarded her. Simmons was what is termed a very clever yonng man and we knew him personally as so worse than a great many who are highly respected in •every community. Bathe did that whioh he would not have tolerated in any other man were be himself concerned, and-he has reaped the consequences. We would -net encourage the takiog of life nor the doiDg of crime in any of its forms through the medium of our paper but, may God ’forgive us if we are wrong, when we say that there was no other redress for Hill and, from tbe standpoint of a natural man -we feel mat he shot Simmons in delense of not only his own dearest lights but <the sacred rights of every otner man. There is mush that is true and forcible ia the above remarks, for of course the man who invades the sanctity of one’s dearest family relations should be slain on the spot like a bandit or mad-dog Bat then, how if both parties are guilty, Well ti we mightlbe inclined to shoot the masculine offender, bat tbo other might "go to grass.” Gbiwin Neict: Colonel Jones of tbe Macon Tzleobaph and Me.singes, was too modest to copy a complimentary par agraph whioh we published about him. He enonla make the exoeplion to the cute when, as in that instance the com pliment was really deserved end honestly intended. The Sun tries to be honest and sincere in the bestowal of such fa vors, and takes pleasure in putting them in at times when they should do good, if ever. Some times we publish compli mentary notice* of ourself which make us b u,b, but we do so to let our readers know what others think of the Sun, and to show in; appreciation of the kindness. The fact is, we don’t lie abont. it, we want oar wife to read them, she couldn’t be mad.- to believe but that they are all honestly meant and well deserved, and we like to please her. * Toabow onr genial contemporary that his kindness is appieolated, the more es*^ peoUlly aa it dote not oontaln the said compliment to the writer, we pnb- Ihh ths above, but mast Insist, upon .saying that Brother Hanleiter never printed a pleasant paragraph from any other paper oonoerning himself, that we do not endotse and pronounce richly, 'merited. He does sand out one of the wittiest, m at original and independent sheets in tbe State. And who will gain say tbe fact? , Oobobserving friend Blocker says: In JBioffton, oarn is being vended ut fifty oents per bnsbel, whioh speaks well for that section. Fatal Tbifltko with Fibe Arms.— Early County Nnet: Ws are pained to - j leans that Mr. E. A. DuBose's litile son, whom we reported last week as having been accidentally, or perhaps more cor rectly speaking, carelessly, thot by Mr. Ja*• S. Garrett’* son, died of his wonnd, and was boried on Saturday last, just one week from tbe time he was shot. We hope this sad affair may at l-.aat have the effect of impressing on the minds of boys the necessity of great cere in too nse of fire arms. Tbe parents of both boys have onr sympathies, for tbe affair is probably not less mournful to the onethan the other. What too Much Fiex Water Did.— Augusta Neir*: A sad accident happen ed two mile* -.he other side of Stone Mountain Saturday night, abont 11:30 .o’clock. Mr. Eugene M. Johoeon, a ** young man 21 years of age, had come . from his inotnex’*, at Dnlnth, to Stone Mountain, to vieft bis sister and other relatives, but found that she was visiting a brother residing about three miles the other sida of the Mountain. It is said he took several drinks and after night . started to walk up to his brother’s. The engineer of tbe down freight train thought he saw something knocked fr"w> tbai;«<*k nnd so informed tho en- (id ’« of the up t rain. They stopped at thu place and found the mangled re mains of the yonng man. His body was crashed and oat to pieces, the skull broken. It is supposed that he woa in toxicated and 4 went 'tfi sleep while sit° ting on the track when within a quarter or nearly a half mile of his brother'and sister. An inquest on Sunday was held and a verdict in accordance with these facts rendered. -1 CtMl AND TaKC SATISFACTION.—(The Grinflin Sun says: , Speaking ot ’Mr. Waterman’s address before the Sands; Sehool conventions wS remaiked last week that there wastao tolling Waterman out do an til he tries, - Tbe Macon Tble- oraph and Mzsazsaza oopled the par»- grapB thus, ‘ mere IS po tailing what Waterman oan do nqtilhe tries?’; »nd tbns knocked tho pith ontof our sentence.

Oar respected contemporary starts ont with n mistake. The ensuing meeting ot tbe General Assembly is not an extra session, but a necessary piolongation of the Nsvefaibi* term to enable the local badness of the country to be transacted. While we are free to admit that onr legis lators like all olhBr mortals are prone to err, yet toe present .body of law-givers ia made up of many commanding intel lects and sterling men. Indeed it will oompare favorably with any of their pred ecessors. Gonb to Bsst.—The Times says i We regret to learn that the venerable T. Q Cossels, of Liberty oonnty, fatner of Mr. S. J. Cossels of this pUce died at bis residence in that county on Thursday. Ho was full of years and honors. A Monument to Col. Alston.—The Atlanta correspondent of the Chronicle, and Sentinel writes : The friends of the late Colonel Eobert A. Alston propose to build a monument to bis memory. It will probably be erected over his grave in the Decatur cemetery. Few men in the State had more warm personal friends, and nearly all these will contribute to the erection of the proposed memorial. E1 warn Cex is still in jail here, hopeful and cheerful to a remarkable degree. He is confident of a new trial. Never yet has he seemed to realize the terror of hia situation. Witn a life-time doom hanging over bis bead be seema confident all tae while tbat some power will intervene to savd him. His lawyers are preparing the mo tion for a trial with great care. It will be heard aome time next' week before Jnage Hillyer. There is really little hope of Ub success, but if tbe Judge overrules it there will be an appeal to the Supreme Const. This will cause a long delay.

UIS *-> 1 Az last accounts the trial of Mr. HiU. for murder in Atlanta, had gone to the jury. After being out some time, failing to agree upon a verdict, they came into court again and naked for farther inatrno. tions from Jadge Hillyer. j . It was thought that they would come to a decision without muoh further delay. The Constitution, speaking of the frail creature who has been the cause of so much trouble, says: She has been present excepting only In tervals in the trial when testimony of her acts cr denunciation of them were in pro gress. It is said that she has objected lo thi?, but has been held to the exhibition by her husband. He refuses, and has con tinually ref used to see evil in -her, and hia bliad, unreasonable and almost un natural fondness for her, despite the proof against her, and the convictions of hia relatives and warmest friends, ia one tho most marvellous, unaccountable things about the whole affair. This faith and this devotion amount more to insani ty than anything else. It is not only painful, but pitiful. Daring Solicitor Hill’s final speech for the State she woe conspicuous by her absence. ‘ ' • Catoosa Brantas.—Constitution: There springe will be formally opened on next Tuosdey, tfceSUb, with a large ball, at which three bands of mnaic will be used. Invitations are now being sent out, and if wo mistake not it will be the opening of a brilliant season, and we trast a very successful one. Already over fifty rooms have bsen engaged, and everything is now in order for five hundred guests. Old residents in the neighborhood of the springs assert that the springs have not looked eo clean and pretty in many years. . The Dispatch says the Wild Land legis lative committee is doing yeoman work for the State in unearthing fraudulent land trans&otions in the past. Wo quote as follows: They meet early in the morning, work until dinner, and after dinner resume their labors until six o’clock. - The investigations are thorough and minute, and when ready to report to tbe Legislature will show the many thousands of dollars the State has been swindled oat of, into whose hands it has gome, arid why ifcie retained, gantic undertaking, and probably some of the mud-sill facts will never be reached. If the committee were to close their la bors to-day, they have dome enough to forever merit the support and good will of their constituents, for they have trooed tho State’s money into certainpar- tiee bands,’and will be able to show the State where it ie. ^ These patriotic gentlemen are working without the hope of reward. No appro priation was made to defray one cent of. their expenses, and henoe each one foots his own bills. It was a labor put upon them by the Legislature, and they are cheerfully serving * he State gratis, to the utter neglect ot their private business. Such unselfish conduct should not pasB unrewarded.

The party committing the tash act was a mulatto girl named Mollie Jackson. The suicide of a negro is something heretofore unheard of,-and there must have been some cause besides thesa now assigned.

A ne gro man hallowed at her not to jump, bat unheeding his warning she leaped into eternity. Search was commeqced for the body* bat not until 5 o’clock in the afternoon was it found.

He stood on the broad veran dah ’hat rune the entire leDgth of the Man sion. faring ths Fotomao, and in fall view of the capital whose white walls glittereu ia the soft light of the fast rieeeendmg sun. In front of the house from a lofty stitt floated the Federal flag, and all around an • nearly up to ike step* of ths h-.use were the wmie marble head atones cf ihe Federal dead The scene was one of the most impressive: have ever witnessed, and so seemed to think the crowd that etoad is front of ihe bouse with uncovered heads and save the speaker almost rapt attention. If ever men and women \;ere in earnest, and X am a Jadge or it they were there. Tuere were not many silks and diamonds, not much fine dressing and 8.0w, bnt were earnest eyes, serictu faces, loving hearts Bad willing hands Flowers were in profusion and each grave was richly dowered. Tney are all some dis tance i. rear of the Mansion and entirtJy surroun ted by those cf tbe Fedei ale The latter are nursed by marble head-stone-, bat onr dead sleep under rough wooden ones on which is conspicuously painted in black letters the word “ Hebei” Thus do had.- cal hate and Radical mendac.ty follow to, and insult in ths grave, the dost and memory of the gallant dead. I stood by ono of these head-board* and heard some one call the attention of one of themo*t 111ns- trioos chieftains of the Confederate army Who was present, to th.e word. I shall never fo-get the flash of his dark eye and tbe expressisn of hia resolute face as he answered: -‘it is a lie.” If tint be “dis loyalty,” or ‘ treason,” let the saints make the mo it of it.

The Mansion at Arlington Is oocu;ied by the mAn'who has charge of the cemetery, and as he haa 'ocked up mast of the rooms, 2 could not xatisfy my cariosity as to what was inside them.

Ar lington most have been a delight! nl sum mer heme, bat is rather suggestive to me of an arctic temperature and ho«li->g winds in win'er.

Editors Telegraph & Messenger—As there appears to be a di»cr«,ity of popular senti ment with reference to the obnoxtuue quali ties of tho Tree of Heaven, (aiiantus,) as an ornamental, or shade tree, not only on ao- oount of Its unpleasant odor, but upon the assumption that it is injurious to health, it may be well enough to inquire upon what basis rosts the latter proposition It is now universally conceded by all scientific enquir ers that the leaves of all trees and plants t x *rt a 0 mservative i t U sance open health in the exercise of their function a- purifiers of the air. By the prmc ple of actinism, that ij. ths action cf the i»js cf tho sun upon the green loaves of plants, cubonio aci a ga* dottr ictive to animal life, and whi.h is evolved in eucn immense quantities in-the putrefaction of animal and vegetable matter, is decomposed, ita carbon appropriated to the nutrition of the plant and its oxygen re turned to the air for tbe support of all liv ing brings. Korea’s, therefore, cannot be detrimental to health unless th*y are so dense as to exclude sunlight and retain mo:s- t re ia tho dead loaves tbit accumulate on the eoil under ths branches of the trees ana thus 1 aver their ojnaUnt deoay and evolu- t on of nnhe&ltby gases. If. the.etore, the debris of leaves, rotten limbs a_.d decaying trunks of trees aro annually burned, we can not eeo how even deLse foreeta can be pro- judicial to health. This uuth has been il lustrated in many parts or our State, now considered nuuealihy, where the firet eet- tlere were in the habit of annually corning the forests for tbe benefit of lha luxuriant grass a that afforded such bouctifnl sup port to. their innumerable flacks and,herds.

We bavo beard of soulless corporations, bnt the Southern Express Company is not one of them. We feel that we owe it a debt of grati tude, and do not propose to pay by un dermining and leveling it to the earth.

We hold that the American Government, as represent ting the great silver prodnoing oonntry of tbe wotld, ought to resist :ha exola&ioa of silver from monetary uses to the extent of its power—sot violently or rashly (whioh wonld obatruo. tha accomplish ment of its own purposes) but with a steady nnd tireless energy and persis tence. . ..: ' • The commercial world must take tbe back track on silver. This is writtep in tho book of fata.

Readers cannot have failed to note evidence that this conviction ia constantly gaining ground everywhere both in Europe and America. But, on the other hand, very extrava gant notions of the silver-producing ca pacity ot America exist in Europe, which are tue main obstacles to the re monetisa tion ol sliver. It ia easy, therefore, to understand that unone haste in this bus iness on tha put of this oonntry will ex aggerate and increase distrust in Europe, and eo retard a consummation indispen sable totne safety and prosperity of alL The ultra silver men should, therefore, hold their horses snd practice some stll- reetraint.
