Oa the 8th day o! last February, and after the night up train on tho Macon and Brunswick road had reached this city, two trunks wero found to be miss ing from the baggage car. On inauiry and reflection it was concluded that the only place where they could have been taken from tho train was at Buzzard Boost. The checks called for the trunks and as they were not forthcoming the road was forced to assume the liability. It BcemBat the station mentioned the bag eaecmaater and train hands were all ab eent from the bagge car assisting m re plenishing tho Btock of wood on the en» S, The trunks wero both valuable. Thelsmalier was the property of a young lady of this city, and the other belonged to Mr. W. B. Brittain, of New York, well known in Macon and contained gentleman’s complete outfit, besides a lull dress suit and a lot of handsome gent’s jewelry. The Macon polise wore notified of the robbery, and work com menced. Snspioion rested on several parties,'.bnt gradually they oentered on a colored man by the name of Caiar Brown. The work of finding dues at suoh a distance was neceaaarily tedious and uncertain. The matter fell into tho bands cf Lieutenant George B. Wells and officer Charlio M. Wood. They had tho men watched, and at last he was seen with 6omo of the misslnsiarticles on bis person. On last Friday night, Lieutenant Wells and Mr. Wood went down to Buzzard Boost and captured their man. The jewelry and a portion of the clothing out of both trunks wero recovered. The prisoner was brought to Maoon by the early morning train cn Saturday, and yesterday was ta ken to Twiggs county, and lodged in jail. After his arrest the negro confess ed the robbery and tho manner which it was performed. The trunks wero lying a little apart from tho ethers in the baggage car, and as thcro was to one around be helped him self to two and walked off. One was large leather trunk, Mr. BrittainV, and the other a smallor and lighter one. Both v/ere carefully destroyed and burn ed, tho iron band9, eta, being thrown into a pond to prevent identification. Tho most of the goods from the tranks wero bnried. Some one, however, in tarn, s'.ole them from the first marauder. The thief used the greatest care to avoid snspioion and deteotion, and onoe when accused by tho officers of some knowledge of the matter, invited a search of his premises. The case has been a pezzling one, net only to the road, but to all connected with it. The manner in which it wae worked up byLieutenaat Wells and Mr. Wood re flects great credit on them. Several unsuccessful trips were taken down the road, and no effort spared to regain the lost property, and their final success is quite gratifying to them and very creditable to their detective skill. Mr. Brittain’s trunk was valued at $200, ot tide amount $125 of it has been re covered in liie jewelry, whioh was quite cxpcD; U e. The rest will probably not be recovered. IN' TUS KLaniSS. BY TELKUKAI'U Two Young Ladies Burned to Death On Sunday night ono of the mo3t chock ing end sickening tragedies that it has bean cor duty to chronicle occurred just threo miles above Jonesboro, on the Macon and Western road. In the night Captain. J. F. Eey- nolds discovered his residence on fire. The re3idenoa was a two-story frame building. In the uppe “or/ his daugh ter, aged ten or twelve and hie eister-in law. Miss BobinsoD, thirteen years of age, were sleeping. The flames spread rapidly, and Mr. Beynolds rushed up the stairway, endeaving to res cue his child and sister. Tti-ir doer was, however, looked Lom tho inside, and the inmates or the room, either too much blinded or euflooated by the dense smoke, or para. Ijzed by the realization of the situation, could not respond to his calls to unlock tho door. Mr. Beynolds then tnrnedhisat- louticn to saving his wife and csoaped with her from the burning building by tho merest of good fortune. The building, and with it overy thing too family bad in the world, were totally consumed, and in tho miss were tho charred corpses of the two young ladies, blacked beyond ell recognition and burn ed to a crisp. In hit fraebe endosvors to rescue his loved ones, Mr. Reynolds exposed himself to the flimes and was seriotf ly burned about the f aoe, bead and arms. Go also complains greatly of pain in bis chest, and it is thought he has shallowed the flimes in passing througti them. He lies in a daegeroas condition, ana it is thought he may die The cause of the flee is not exaotty known. Aepto’alto this paper yeaterday from Jonesboro s*yj it caught frem a stove. % From passengers on the train last evening we understand there is with some a suspicion of vnoendiariem, while tho last eolation ie the fire started m tho room of the yoacg ladies. Mr. Reynolds is a highly respectable fanner of Clayton county acd is a brother cf Colonel B. F. Mtddox, of Atlanta. He certainly has the sympathies of all in the blow which has befallen him and his household. Washington, June 22.—Represents live Wbitthorne, of Tennessee, has for warded to Representative Goode, of Vir ginia, chairman of the Honse Committee on Rdncation, a labored communication, relating to the propriety of the proposed investigation into the causes of the reoeut oolored exodus. After a general review of the relations between tdaveholders and tlaves, Mr. Wbitthorne prooetda to consider changes brought about In the South by tho war, espeoially those relating to financial prosperity and says iba Ij^ata no farm property alone, from I860 to 1870, ag gregated $771,000,000. When to these are added the losses on bonds, horses, oattle, mills, mauufaolur lug establishments, eta, the amount is swelled to biUionB. With this burden the'8:000,000 whites of the South, came out of the war, while tho black race, suddenly emancipated, and having no meanB of support except tho unskilled labor of their hands, were left with soant protection against starva tion, disease and crimes. Mr. Whitthorne then considers the ill treatment of the colored race in the Sonth since the war, and especially the alleged failure of the white employers to give thoir colored laborers jnst and adequate compensation for thoir *p,ryiaoo. He shows that indnstry has revived in the Sonth oince 1865, and the valco of labor increased. From 1860 to 1878 there haa been an increase of more than 3,000,- 000 head of cattle and swine. During the last eight years 0,000,000 more bales of cotton have been produced than were produced in the eight years ending with 1861. In 1871 there were only seven and a half million acres of cotton cultivated, while in 1878 them were more than 12, 000,000. The gross earnings of the Southern railroads are now in round num bers $43,000,000 per annnm, and there ha3 been s decided increase in tha growth of manufacturing industries. Mr. Wbitthorne thou gives statistics showing that while farm laborers in the Northern and Western States ate paid at the rate of seven dollars per capita of tho population, the compensation of the samo class of laborers in toe Sontb exoesda ten dollars por capita. The Southern States, wito a popnlation of nino millions pay neatly ninety-eight millions for labor, while the Northern States, with a popula tion of fifteen millions pays less than one hnndr-d and fifteen million dollars. In view of these foots, Mr. Wbitt- horno says it cannot be asserted that Sontbern labor is not adequately paid, or that the laborer has cny good reason to leave his birthplace. He says farther that “ it is believed by many that npon thorough examina tion cf the facts this exodus movement will be shown to have bad its origin in specnlaticn in Kansas railroad lands, .to whioh a portion of the freedman’a money through the Freedmen’s Back was first dedicated, and that parties who aided iu the robbery of that institution oonceived that tbare were millions in tempting its depositora and their race to become oo- cnpsnts of land npon whioh they held mortgage bonds. £ feel sure that when the truth is shown, it will be Been that both races, have suffered from the madness and craft of politicians, and that the people of the Sonth have a Christian civilization which, whilst it enriches mankind, is just and generons to all within its influence. It only asks to be jadgad in that charity which speaks in love and asks only the observance of that decree that “with whatsoever judgment ye would be judg ed, judge ye.” If for such a purpose and in such a spirit investigation is songht it should he I ad, but if not, I am and will be the first to ask jon to bare none of it. The President will to-morrow announce tn the Hints of B -prfsen'a ives his ap proval of the army bill, bac will, at the eame time, send in a message vetoing the judicial expenses bill. The veto message will be brief and the objections to the ap proval of the bill will be directed solely against that clanee of the second section which prohibits the making of contracts or inenrment of liabilities under titlo 26th of the revised statutes. The President will take tho ground that it is his sworn duty to see tuat all laws on tho »t -ite book are faithfully executed, until repealed or pronounced invalid by a competent tribunal. That <i>is 26th of the Revised Statutes requires the appointment of deputy marshals for the forthoomins* Congressional elsotiona in California and the Westchester distriot of New York, and that although the ob servance of the law in question in these coses may not have great practical Ira- poitauce, it invalves a principle, and he cannot eign the bill whioh interferes in any ease wife fee *>ty whioh that leg When troubled with » sense of fulness or oppression after meals, tho pleasantest re lief attainable is one or two of Dr. Bull’s Baltimore Pills.

London, June 23—4’ha Times says the embarrassment of tho Bonapartists is increasingly manifest. Ds Cassagnao is reproached with indiscretion for putting forward the claims of Prlnoa Viotor JBa- □sparto to the Imperial snooession. In tha Sunday issue of La Pay*, Da Oaseag- oao admits that nothing .has been offi cially decided, though perhaps a decis ion may be made in a few days. It is believed that Eouher affected ignorance of a will in favor of Prinoe Victor, the eldest son of Jerome Napoleon, beoauaa he considered its validity doabtful, nn- less Prince Jerome Nspoleon oonsenti to waive his claim. Prince Jerome is very reticent sinco his arrival in Paris. Apparently he is awaiting the action of Ranher. It is not believed that Prince Jerome will agree to be a pretender himself or permit his son to become one. In the event Prince Victor is endeav oring to temporize in not distinctly accept ing the p3siiion,the Bonapartists will probably fall back on Prinoe Charles Na poleon, President of tho Corsican Conn ell Genera 1 .. Prince Charles is 40 years of age, has no sons or royal connections, and is a much less eligible candidate than Prince Victor.

Among the pnblic bills were the follow ing : By Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, to re move the doty on quinine and of all materials for its manufacture; also bills by Mr. Saeifprd, of Alabama, and Mr. Upson, of Texas, for the Eame purpo3f; by Mr. Martin, of West Virginia, to re organize tho army. The Speaker then laid before the Honse the President’s veto of tho supplemen tary judicia' bill, and it was read by the Clerk and followed by slight applause cn the Republican side. Mr. McMahon, of Ohio, moved to re consider the bill, acd the House proceeded to vote on the question, notwithstanding the President’s objections. The bill was rejected for want of the two-third majority. Yeas 104, nays 78, a strict party vote. The Eou3e then adjourned. In the Senate no business of impor tance was transacted in tho Senate to day. Mr. Wallace, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported the House concurrent resolution fixing Jane 17, bb the date of the final adjournment with the amendment substituting Jane 25th for iho prevI0n3.date.

The President begins by reciting the passage of the original legis lative bill repealing title 26 of the Rc» vised Statutes and its return to the House without his approval. The objeat of the present bill, be says, is not to re peal the election laws, but to defeat their enforcement. Under the existing laws ths failure of Congress to make tbc ap- propriit'ou3 required for the execution of the provisions of the election laws would cot prevent their enforcement. Tho right aid duty to appoint general and special deputy marshals, which they prevido for would etili remain, and tho executive department of tho government would also be empowered to inenr the requisite liability for their compensation. But the second eection of this bill con tains a prohibition not found in any pre vious legislation. Ite design is to ren- der the election laws inoperative by omit ting to appropriate money for their en forcement, and by prohibiting any officer of tho Government from incurring liabil ity under title 26 of the Revised Statutes authorizing the appointment of denuty marshals for servico on ele'c'.lon day. The appointment of spe- oial deputy marshals is nor, he says, a spontaneous act of authority on the pan of the Government, bat i3 mado by sec tion 2021 of the Revised States, a popu lar right cf citizens in towns having 20,- 000 Inhabitants or upwards. Tho present bill neither revokes this popular right, nor relievos the marshals cf the duty im posed by law, nor the President of his duty to see that this law is faithfully ex ecuted. He declines to dismiss again the wisdom and necessity of the eleotioc laws, or what he'regards tbeidangerocs end un- oonstitattocal principle of this bill (hat the power vested in Congress to originate appropriations involves the right to compel tho cxeontive to approve aay legislation which Congress may see fit attaoh to ouch bills, under penalty of refusing means needed to carry on the essential functions of government. His views on these points w?re, he toys, presented in previ ous messages, and hs regards them oon- elarive as to bis daty in respeot to the present bilL This -measure Laves the powers and duties of Supervisors of Emo tions nntonohed, but deprives the national government of power Jo protect them in the discharge of their duty at ths polls. The States may employ both civil and military power at the eleotlonr; by this bill, even civil authority to protect Oo’izicsrionsl elections is denied to the United States. Thera are two ways to overturn legislative ddfcctmcnta: one is their r.p2al,|tho other gVn..' deoiaioa of a competent tribunal : inst thoirjvaUdity.

Atlanta Jans 23.—J. T. Reynolds’ honse near Jonesboro has been burned, and bis daughter and sister-in-law, young Rirls of 13 ana 16 yeats, perished. The fire originated in tbeir room, whioh waB fastened. They were so blinded or be wildered they could not open the door, although the father of one of the girls, who had been awakened by the flames, oslled them to break the door in. He then went to save his wife and barely succeeded in getting her ont. It is feared that he is fatally injnred. The girls’ bodies were literally charred. The firsts supposed to have been aooidental. Ev erything was a total loss. Washington, June 23.—A canvass of the Honse, made immediately after the reading of the President’s message to day to ascertain the views of the ma jority upon the present situation, brought out- three different propositions with re gard to futnre action: First, to prepare and pas3 another bill precisely similar to that jnst vetoed, and if the President re turns it unsigned, to adjonrn sine die, Second, to pass a joint resolution continu ing tho appropriations until next Jan nary, but with the same limitations upon the expenditure as were contained in tho vetoed bill, and if not approved to ad journ, ana if nailed togother again to re peat the process. Third, to adjourn at once without making any farther attempt to meet the views of'the executive. The first of these suggested courses of notion seemed to have the most sup porters. A Cabinet officer in discussing the situation with a member of the Honse to-day, said if the majority should pass another bill similar to the one just returned the President wonld veto it. If Congress adjourned he would call them together the next day. If the process wsa repeated he would not reconvene them the third lime, bnt leave the re sponsibility of closing the courts on the Democratic party. The conference of loading Republican representatives this afternoon agreed to vote against adjourn ment previous to action on the judicial bill, and also against the continuation cf the appropriations, bnt decided not to resort to parliamentary tactics to defeat the plans of the majority. The Demo cratic Senators were in caucus three hours this afternoon, discussing tho pres ent situation with a view to deciding upon a course af aotion. Hr. Vest, who was the first speaker, favored immediate adjournment. He thought tho majority was under no obligation to do more than it had done. He v vs supported by Mr. Wallace, who took tho same view. Messrs. McDonald, Bayard, Thurman snd Hill, however, opposed this course with great earnestness, insisting that it wonld ba both unwise and _ unwarranted. They argued th»* it weald be iejadioiaus ts give up the substantial benefits acquired' by thic section cf the present bill, amending the jury laws and abolishing tho juror’s test oath, to which the President has mado no objection. They also pointed out that the President in vetoing tho present bill on account of one of ita piovision3 and at the same time approving the army bill, had tak en a position at varianoe with the argu ment of the influential part of his own party. Messrs. Butler. Maxey, Morgan, Pendleton, Eaton and Beck also spoke in opposition to the plan of adjournment without further efforts. The speakers, ino’.nding Messrs. Bay ard, Thurman, Hill, Bntler and Hamp ton, said in the moat 6mphatio manner that adjournment, without providing for tho support of every branch of the Gov ernment, would be utterly unjustifiable and indefensible. It was, however, agreed by all that no money ehonld be appropriated for tho payment of deputy marshals of eleotion. At the closo of the disonsslon a resolution in favor of ad- joinment withont farmer aotion, offered t>y Mr. Vest, was rejsoted by an over whelming majority, having reaeived only three or four votes. A resolution was then adopted by a vote of 20 to 7, directing the Cancns Ad visory Committee, in conjunction with tho Advisory Committee of the Honse, to prepare a bill in such terms as to obviate the President’s objections and secure its enaotment. The senators voting against the rest lotion wero Cockrell, Jonas, Wol- laoe, Walker, Yacoi, Vest, and Withers. Mahshall, Texas, Jane 23.—In tha CASe of the State against James Carrie, indicted for tho murder ot Benjamin C. Porter, the aotor, the proacoution Re nounced that they were ready for trial. The most of their witbesses ware pres ent, including Manrioa Barrymore, of Now York, who was present when Porter was killed. The defense presented tho affidavits of five witnesses by whom they expected to prove that Carrie was provoked to an as sault in self-defense. These witnesses wore absent and the defense moved to have the oase continued. In reply to a motion for oontinnanoe, the State filed a fall answer with affidavits of six witnesses, in cluding that of the restaurant keeper, where the murder oocnrred, whioh states that at the time cf the killing the only persons present were Barrymore, Porter, Miss Camming, Carrie and the proprie tor.

The Cox Case.—Atlanta Dirpafpfi: The motion for a new trial in this case was refused yesterday afternoon. The follow ing are Judge Hillyer’s remark;: “In the trial of a case in court the one person above all others whose hands are tied and for whose conduct the law lays down better marked and stricter rules is the judge. There is just a certain nar row path for him—very narrow and vary straight, and he has to walk in it, and if ho does bis duty he dare not deviate from it. He is obliged to go in it acd cannot help it. Ia this matter the court has a discretion to grant anew trial,as counsel say, but it is a discretion that is a legal one. It is set hedged in by precedent acd by.practice, but it has its bounds, and the court cannot govern them and go beyond them. I have weighed this mat ter and gone oven-it all again in an earn est doeire to get at the troth and be ante to do right. I do not see that there is error in this verdict. I wish I could avoid tho pain of eaying bo, but I can not. I overrate this motion.” Counsel for defense then took an order suspending the execution of the sentence to allow exceptions to be filed and the caso taken to the Supreme Court.
