C B0S3 -EXAMINATION.
Counselor Hopkins interrogated
the witness as to the whole transaction
with great particularity.
Witness took several drinks with
Wright. Have been intimate with him.
Had one conversation with Wright on
Monday, after the proposition was made.
Played enohre with him; I don’t remem*
bar how many times.
Witneae asked Wright if he knew
whom be was talking to. Wright said
Goldsmith knew nothing of it; raid if
he fonnd it out, he (Wright) would lose
the respect and love of the Comptroller.
A stranger came book with n-r; ast be
tween Wright and witness ; can’t swear
that Wright was intoxioated There was
dsnoing. Wright, Garratt and witness

clared. Prayer by Bev. Mr. Dunean.

the resolution to print the whole pro-
coodings of the impeachment trial of
Comptroller-General Goldsmith, inclu
ding the evidence, speeches of counsel
for tho-defenae, of the Honse managers,
and of tho Senators.
Senator Camming thought the trial
ehonld ba reported in fall, as the people
of the State wonld look to Senators as
tntors in the trial of the impeachment.
Senator Spaer was opposed to the
reconsideration on the ground of
expense; that, according to a calcu
lation tho Senator had made, the daily
expanse of such a publication, at the
rate of 20 cents for a hundred words,
wonld amount to something over $25 at
tbe least That this was not proper or
right, and this expense of at least $25
included oniy the cost of the stenographic
report, and not the cost of the printing.
A message from the Honse annonneed
the paesage of certain bills.
Senator Hrlton also spoke on the qaes
tion.

ation prevailed on a call of the yeas end
hays.

of the House portion of the Joint Wild
Lind Committee. The committee made
a report of having been approached by the
Comptroller to sign a certain paper ex
onerating him; said paper was addressed

Hinton P. Wright; have known him

On tbe oross-exatnination the witnees
stated that he had n-ver paid hie part of
thehaoknire; had a ten dollar bill and
oonld not make obange.
On the re-direct, witness said he bad
never been called on for tbe baok hire;
have frequently refused drinks.
Manager Tamer then introduced the
aoooaat current between the Treasurer
and tbe Comptroller General, tonohing
the returns of the insnranoe tax.
H. W. J. HAM, 8WJRN.
Besides in Gainesville; had a conver
sation sinoe the charge of bribery, in the
office of the Comptroller, with him;
am intimate with Goldsmith; came in hie
office, and in reference to the bribery
matter said, "yon have played thunder,
now, havent yon?’’ Witness then went on
in a jocular manner, and eaid, "if yon
bad searched the gaiters of Atlanta yon
conld not have gotten hold of a worse
man.’’ Goldsmith said he thought
Wright was tbe best man to send, as he
had known Davis for some years: have
often gone into the office and in a jocular
manner wonld say, "How are yon, wild
land thieves?’’ Witness stated that he
had a conversation with Goldsmith, and
told him that witness thought injustice
bad been done the Comptroller; talked
with him abont Mr. Christopher, an edi
tor of the Atlanta Phonograph, who was
writing abont Urn; asked Christopher
abont the articles he was writing about
the Comptroller, said that he was
doing Goldsmith iojnstioe; asked him if
he was making anything by it; Chris-*
tophersaid, "Not that he expected;’’ask
ed him If he would keep silent
oonld make anything by it; Christopher
said he did not know—perhaps he Wonld
it he conld make a Y or two by it; had
this conversation with Christopher at the
instance of Goldsmith; witness thongbt
he conld fir the matter; got twenty-five
dollars from tbe Comptroller and went to
Christopher; told him be oonld fix tho
matter; Christopher refused to enter into
the arrangement, and witnese retained
the monoy to Mr. Goldsmith.
CROSS-EXAMINATION.
Witness did not think it was wrong to
make this attempt to obtain the silenoe
of Christopher, as witness thought that he
was doing the Comptroller injnBtioe, and
did it on the part of friendship.
A number of questions were propound
ed by several Senators. The substance
of the answers was that witness referred
to the rumors of bribery by Wright when
he told him he had played thunder; got
the money ($25,) to obtain the silence
of Christopher, and not for his own nse.
The Comptroller so nndoratood the loan;
have returned the $25 to the Comptroller
since.
Several questions were asked, going to
show motive, whioh ware ruled ont by the
Chief Jnslioe. . _
Manager Turner then offered to intro
duce the report of Madison Bel), former
Comptroller-General as going to throw
light on the wild land office and its trans
actions.
Counselor Hopkins objected on the
ground that it was ex parte and no part of
the present case.
Manager Turner stated that the repoit
was a part of the record of the office cf
the Comptroller. That the former Comp
troller declared against the present sys
tem of wild land taxation; that the present
system being repealed by the recom
mendation of Madison Bell was re-insta-
ted at the recommendation ot Goldsmith.
That the evidence was sought to be intro
duced to show the motive of the Comp
troller in the whole of his acts and domga.
Counselor Candler objected.
The Chief Jnslioe ruled that the evx-
denoe was admissible, as the object of
all evidence was the discovery of troth,
and that in a trial of this nature, the
greatest latitude should be allowed on
both eides; but wonld submit it to the
^Sanator Clarke asked that the judg
ment of tbe Senate be taken on the ques
tion; and gave his views. .
filter Camming said this xs not a
criminal proceeding, and that therefore
meat as the only remedy. The. commit
tee had heard no suggestion of any other
remedy.
Mr. Nisbet said it wa3 only a question
of punishment or acquittal of a guilty
man. Impeaohment is the only rome-
dy.
Mr. Livington moved to make the re
port the special order for next Taes
day.
Oa the motion to postpone Mr. Nisbet
oalled for tne yeaa and nays, and the oall
was sustained. The yeas were 78 and
the nays 51. So the motion prevailed.
Mr King moved that 500 oopies of the
report be printed. Agreed to.
BILLS BEAD THIRD TIME.
The business in order was the read
ing of bills the third time.
A bill to relieve Wm. Bioh of Falton
oonnty from a judgment against him on
a bond given in the oity oonrt.
The adverse report was disagreed to,
Oa the passage ot tho bill the yeas were
59 and tbe nays 35 So the bill failed of
a constitntional majority.
Mr. MoWhoner offered a resolution
that after to-day tbe afternoon session bo
devoted to local bills on third reading
and Senate bills on first and aeoond
reading. Agreed to.
A bill to incorporate the Savannah
Trust and Safe Deposit Company.
Mr. Fort of tbe committee on the
judiciary submitted a report whioh was

THE PENITENTIARY,
Mr. Garrard, of the committee on
the investigation of the office of the
principil keeper of the penitentiary, said
be hoped the membors wonld read the
evidence adduced by tbe committee so
that tbey wonld be ready to aot on tho

Legal Advertising Fees.—It seems to
ns that the Constitution has about cov
ered the entire ground in the following
remarks on the above snbjeot:
We are of the opinion that tho severe
criticisms npon the bill regulating the
fees for legal advertising is the result of
a misunderstanding of the features of
the measure. There may be gronndaof
opposition to the bill, bnt there iB certain
ly nothing in the provisions thereof to
warrant the harsh terms employed by
some of onr weekly state exchanges.
Tbe bill itself was drawn by the edi
tor and proprietor of a weekly ;paper—
Mr. W. H. Harrison, of the Lumpkin
Independent, who is also a member of
tne House of Bopreaentativea—and it
certainly is folly to charge that he
waB influenced by hostility to the
country paper a. Tho bill pro
vides that the publisher of a news
paper in which the legal advertisements
appear shall receive cixty-fire cents for
each one hundred words for each inser
tion. Tho bill prohibits the sheriffs and
ordinaries from charging any premium
or commission on the advertising they
are compelled to do, thns giving the
publisher the fall benefit of the rate and
doing away with the competition that at
present compels the proprietors of week-
ly papers to pay the officers a large com
mission in order to seonre the advertis
ing. Sixty-five cents a hundred words
may be too small, but if tha calculation
be mads that anm will be fonnd quite as
profitable as tbe piesent ecaie or prices.
In the matter of sheriffs’ sales, it amounts
to $2 60 a levy. Apart from this, how
ever, it is wrong for the weekly press to
interpret the bill as an attack upon the
country pspers^for it was framed by the
editor of a country paper, who would be
among the last to do injustice to his guild.

Trouble Near Villa Bica.—We learn
from a private letter received in Atlanta
a few days ago that a negro man went

the bed in the room occupied by the

yonng ladies entered the room to retire
ebe happened to look under the bed, and
there saw the villain. She immediately
left the room, locking the door, bnt the
negro raised a window and eeoaped. He
was afterwards caught and is now in jail.
Another negro went into a room in the
house of Mr. Bnd Green in tha same lo

A Levanting Exfbibsman in Limbo.—
Tho Chronicle has the following account
of the arrest and passage through that
city Taesday afternoon, cf a defaulting
express clerk who recently got away
with $6,000:
The press telegrams yesterday morn
ing contained a brief announcement of
tbe arrest of a defaulting express clerk,
near Jacksonville, Florida. Yesterday
afternoon the olerk- in question reached
Augusta in oharge of Mr. Geo. B. Jones,
agent at Jacksonville of the Sonthern
Express Company, and Capt. Cooper,
Chief of the Jacksonville police. The
prisoner, whose name is William Kerr
Bell, was handcuffed to an arm of a seat
on the Central Bailroad passenger train.
He left Augusta on the afternoon train
of the Georgia Bailroad for St Leals, in
charge of Capt. Cooper. Mr. JoneB re
turned to Jacksonville. Bell was money
clerk of the American Express Company
at Kansas City, Missouri. On the 20th
Of AngnBt last he absconded witb $6 000,
two paokages of $3,009 each. Of this
amonnt $4,000 was sent to the address of
Mrs. Sadie M. Kyler, a friend of Ball and
his wife, at Trenton, N. J. One thousand
dollars was left with Mrs. Bell, and it is
snppoeed that the other $1,000 was
PLACED WITH A FRIEND
at St. Lonis. When arrested, Bell had
only $77 on his person. After his flight,
it was also discovered that he had made
away previously with $1,500, besides the
$6,000, making $7,500 in all. This he
doubless took from time to time and
spent. It was ascertained that he was
speculating in gram futures and using
the company’s money for that purpose.
From Kansas oity Bell proceeded—
under various aliases—to New Orleans,
which city he left on the 2nd instant, hav
ing purchased a through ticket to Jack-
Boville, Florida. He reached the latter
plaoe last Thursday, and on Friday went
to Palatka and thence to St. Augustine,
where he spent Sunday. He
EXPICTXD TO SAIL
From St. Angastine on that day for
Matanzas, bnt failed to do so from some
eante. While in Jacksonville he tele
graphed to Mrs. Kyler, osre of anotner
party, to send him soma money (s por
tion of the $4,000), and it was this tele
gram that led to the disoovery of his
whereabouts and hiB ultimate arrest. Mr.
Jones, the Sonthern Express agent at
Jacksonville, was notified and requested
to have him arrested and sent to St.
Lon’s. Mr. Jones got on g steamer
leaving Jacksonville Monday morning,
and abont two o’olook, between Jackson
ville and Green Cove Springs, met an'
other steamer, on board of which was his
man. Mr. Jones changed his quarters
from one steamer to the other, in mid
stream and in a tew moments wss

with Ball. "How do yon do, Mr. Bell?’’
said Jones. Bell promptly replied,
"Yon are mistaken, that is not my
name. "Ob, yea it is," said Jones.
"Yon are money clerk of the American
Express Company at Kansas City." Bell
still denied his identity, bnt Jones was
sore of his man. He finally showed Bell
one of his (Bell’s) photographs, and ask
ed him what he thought of that. "Well,
he is a good looking fellow," replied the
fugitive with sublime oheek. He was
passing at tho time under the name of
Kline, having registered at the hotel in
Jacksonville, “H. Kline, Colnmbns-*’
Mr. Jones carried hie prisoner to Jack
sonville, having the necessary requisition
from the Governor of Missouri, which

Jacksonville, Mr. Jones, in company
with Capt. Cooper, came on immediately

took the money. When first arrested be

Hush Ml with tbe sunset. Lush, tali grasses

With willowy grace, touched by the winds that

To biths our foreheads, laden with flower-

Andsklty sweetness caught from oaean’e kiss.
Above, arched tbe soft, fleece■ flecked bine of

Around was spread a wilderness of green.
And here, betraved by odors, subtly sweet.
Vines trailed their trapio wealth of green, crown

With cups of royal gold brimful of scents.
Floating from hidden nooks, so wiid and weird
Some Dryad there might well have mads her

Over tho falseness at some fickle Faun.
Tho sounds of wood and marsh fail on our ear,
The cushats mellow coo, the croak of frogs.

The pipe of the curlow, the harsh loud call
Uf the marsh hen to her mate, as 'mong the

That fringe the inland’s winding creek she

Upon her nest; the rustle of the leaves
On which tbe suns >t’s gilding Sogers rest.

To have this beauty voiced in song, and when
