He presented bis serd to numbers of onr eitiseni, and was received politely and attentively as a representative insnranoe man. Shortly- after the first appearanoe cf the item in the Tzleqbafh, Mr. J. L Eniid, of Pelham, Mitoneli county, fear ing that he had been “taken in" by a swindler, inasmuch as he had paid $75 to By an for $1,500 insurance policy on hie mill property, telegraphed to Savannah, where Byan then was, and had him ar rested. Mr. DeGraffenreid, the sheriff of Uichell county, went down immedi ately after him, and deoided to bring him to the Albany jail for safe keeping. When the cars which brought the Sheriff and prisoner were within a few miles of JGbiiy on Friday night, Byan jumped est of the window and fled through the woods, p K«xt sWn of Byan was when he ap proached the camp fire of Messrs. Wat son and Davis, two gentlemen from Worth, who were en route to this city with prodace. He asked to be allowed to warm. The gentlemen consented, and Xjau, after warming and passing a few words, left, going down the road. At a late breakfast hour a note was KCt ired at Ventulea’s restaurant, signed by Byan, asking that breakfast be sen' him. Sheriff DeGraffenried then went to look after him. No oatoh. Then Mr. 3. V. Kemp took trail, ami in a snort time brought Mr. Byan to towB, and turned him -over to Sheriff Edwards at the jail, where bs is now oonfined await ing trial, whioh is to be held at Camilla to-day.

He goes down to Camilla this morning In charge of the sheriff, and *he ease will there be heard. , 'I'solUiVIUil Enterprise i t ‘ On Wed nesday of last week the section of onr eonniy west of the river was the scene of one of those horrible outrages so oommon apparently all over the oomnty, bat from whioh we have heretofore enjoyed almost an immunity. A yonng married lady ot as respectable family as any in the oonnty, was alone at her home, while her husband was away at work. She obsoived a ne gro man approaching the honse, and sup posing it was one whom eho know, she sailed to him by name. The negro answered to the name, approaohed her as aha was going from the honse to the kitchen, and just »h, saw her mistake seised • her, and oarrying her tato the honse, suc ceeded in executing his horrible pnrpoie, and then made bin escape. Word was at otoe sent to sheriff Coyle, and search was at thf- same time inetitmed in the neigh borhood. «her iff Coyla that night ar- jei. ~d a negro and lodged him in jail. On Thu—Jay, a deputation came over and wished to take the man with them for identification, as the lady was too nnweli %o comd to towDp This tho shcr- iff refused to acoede to. fearing that wo ja. ary vengeance might be visited upon the uiau if the lady swore to his hein<- ihi, fiend who committed the crime. Sub sequently ihe lady was brought to town, aii-i upon seeing the negro pronounced him as not the guilty one.

It was formerly thought that this important ce real conld be successfully raised for sale only along the tide-water region of Sonth Carolina, Georgia and Florida, but later deveiooments have shown that it .is far more profitable-than corn even when planted on the dry, Bandy soil of wiregrass Georgia. Unless well manured, but little of the land in this last ngion will pro duce twenty bnshela of oorn per aore, and moat of it will produce that much rice, even without manuring. With manure, it will produce from thirty to forty bnan els per acres, and this at one dollar and twenty-five centi per bnahel, will be far more remnnvrating to the farmer than oorn. The experience of the last ten years proves this to be true. Bice is not more troublesome to grow than corn. The same or less labor which is required to make a orop of oorn, will produce one of rioe. Then why not make rice the staple orop throughout the pino belt of Georgia P” \ Bic0abd3on, of the tffwi, did the dean thing by ns in his account of the visit of the SnvAnnah military. We looked for Biobardson all day; had a shanty back of the Canrt Honse in soak m kerosene oil, with a wax doll on top and a ladder ready to be mounted by a gallant rescuer when the fire was applied. The doll re mains anreecued. \ It takes two men to clean a gin. Num ber one rakes out the cotton seed, and number two stops the mules and rakes outnumber one's fingers. Talbot's fair was a success, both at home and in Maoon. Matt.

Edge, of the Middle Georgia Argus, rescued a lady in the most gallant manner durfeg the military parade last WetiieBday. When the cannon were booming, excited men rushing hither and tnither, and frightened horses were madly plunging around, a lady dropped ner glove from the Lanier Honse balcony. Every heart ceased beating for an instant as the frightful situation wa3 apparent, but Edge, with great presence of mind, lifted it from the ground and sent it to her by a waiter, while a thousand voices rent Hie air.

We axe just in receipt of last Wednes day’s Dispatch, oont sining a column of feeble jokes on the oityof Maoon, Tel. & Me—, and the StaAe Fair. There is a sprinkling, also, of pmiva for Hoff, who advertises with the Dispatch, and some personal allusions to one of the editors of this paper, whom the Dispatch supposes wrote the eriticiim on lloff. Tho sub ject is a little worn, yet as the Dispatch seems to suffer aomewbaty it is but right that we should say onr local editor, through the local colamas, simply ex pressed the opinion of the. Txlxobaph and Messenger and of the citizsns of Macon upon Hoff’s actions. As a gvesaer the reporter of the Dispatch- is not auo- oessfnl. He makes better headway as a jonmalistio pall-bearer. Savannah News: As your correspond ent could not go on both trains, be was consequently, as a matter of comae, nn- aols to enjoy the ran with tbe Chat- hams on their trip. His opeoially ap pointed deputy, however, wee faithful, and drops a few notes of the journey as follows: ' . The Cbathams, under oommand or Lieutenant Harmon, left on a special oar by the Central Bailrosd on Tuesday night and arrived in Maoon at 7:30 next morning. We were met at the depot by the Macon Volunteeiu, under command of Captain Carnes, who escorted us to ibeir armory, where, after being warmly weloomed to their hearts and homes, we were invited to partake ot a bountiful breakfast. Being thns fortified for. the fatigues of the day the assembly was sounded, and in a short time the battery was ready tor parade. This parade was to Maoon what the Jasper Centennial parade was to Savannah—a bigsnooess. In the oolomn we notioed nearly two hundred of Savannah’s military. Upon the nnveiling of the monument a Confederate salute of eleven gnns was fired by onr battory. After the splended oration of OoL Thomas Hardeman, one hundred guns were fired by the artil lery. . The monument is abont twenty feet high, graced with the statue ot a Sonth- era soldier nine feet high. It is bnilt of Italian marble, and ia tastefully inscribed and ornamented with specimens of war and of Time mitigates grief and adds lustre to patriotic and heroic deeds. So while onr grief for thoee fallen heroes grow less each year, their deeds shall glow brighter and brighter to the Perfect Day. Parade being dismissed, onr battery was exereiaedin the field drill, when they created considerable sensation while ma- noauvering at the trot and gallop.

The banquet given by the Macon Vol- nnieera was perfeotiy immense. The tables fairly groaned with good things prepared by the ladies, and if Mr- Bel shazzar ever tired of similar living, he was a “comdemn phool.” The trip np was made hideone by the pranks of a tew “powder monkeys,” bat returning, we enjoyed peace and quiet, having left the “monkeyed behind in Maoon. With the pleasantest; recollections of this reoent visit, we hope soon to have another opportunity of meeting oar brother soldiers of tbe np country in oar own city. Fuom tbe same paper we clip tbe fol lowing item; the man desoribed, while not a bankrupt, is evidently broken: There is a remarkable man in Burke county. He is a correspondent of tbe WayneBboro Herald, and he says that in 1870 he had his right shoulder broken. After that he had- hie left ehonlder brok en. About three year* igo he received a fall, and was nnable to walk-for three months thereafter, and abont four weeks ago he fell from a wagon, and the ve hicle, loaded with two titans and pounds of merchandise, passed*c^r his body, breaking his shoulder and injuring him internally. Yet, in aptba^ot. all these misfortune*, he is to-day lively and -well. Evidently no ordinary death >s in store for him. Griffin Nsisi: Gov. Colquitt, of Geor gia* declares in a published letter that “after diligent search” po trace can be found of any reward evorjuflng been offered by Georgia foiHhe head of Wo. Lloyd Garrison. He firmly believes the whole thing utterly an Unfounded alan der. The historical faotT thus chal lenged now “awaits confirmation”' Gov. Colquitt’s statement may after all -be only a perversion of the troth. An act offering not a reward for Garrison's head, bat areward of $5,000 for the arrest and oonviotloa of the editer of the liberator under the laws of the State against in citing servile inBoxreotion was passed by the Georgia Lagislatnre, it is onrrently said, in December, 1831.

The Homs Journali A married daughter of Mr. S. L. i'nompaoD, Mrs. Bebeoca Matthews, haa been for gome time labor- iug under severe affliction of the mind, so mnoh so, at times, that tbe family were oompelled to keep her every aotion under the closest surveillance to prevent her from doing herself injury. This morning, it so happened that this unfor tunate lady was left for a few minutes alone in the house; ber stepmother be ing in the kitoben attending to her do- mestio duties, and ber father and one of her brothers in tbe borse-lot fixing a trough. Attraoted by an unusual noise towards the dwelling, Mrs. Thompson ran to tbe door jait in time to see Mrs. Mat thewe issuing from the back door of tbe dwelling, with ber bands elasped over ber knees, an • ber gar» meats smoking as sho, in & stooping pos ture, leaped out ot the door, and rapidly ran in tbe direetion of the well situated only a few yards distant. Mrs. Thomp son divining her intention, sprang to wards her, at the same time screaming to the top of her voioe to stop, bnt ebe made no halt and xeaebipg the well before Mrs. Thompson oould reaoh her, she sprang head foremost into Isb depths. Her fath er and brother came to the well ae soon ae they conld get there, expeoting noth ing less than to find ber lying at the bot tom dead, as the well is forty feet deep; and there is a barrel at the bottom, standing several inohes out of the water, greatly increasing the dsuger ot the fall. She was not dead, however, and as soon as they oonld proonre a rape and assist ance, she was placed seenrety in a basket, and drawn out, and carried into the house* Several of tbe neighboring ladies bad by this time gathered, -nd they put dry clothes upon her immediately aid placed her in bed. As far as they oonld tell no bones were broken and wonderful to re' late no severe external bruises. Enquirer-Sum Hereafter when th# Msconites want to tell of days and nights long to be remembered, tbey will think of tbe fair week of 1879, and say “those were the grandest we had seen for many years.” And truthfully they may tell it, fori don’t see how any occasion could have given them greater pleasure than the assemblage in Maoon of so many ot Georgia’s fair daughters and gallant sons —soldiers of the past and soldiers of tbe present marched side by side, cheered on as of old by the smiles and encourage ment of the noble ladies there, whose efforts unveiled one of the handsomest monuments in Georgia—“To onr Con- federate dflld, w Enquirer-Dun: At the armory of tbe Volnnteers a most elegant banquet was spread for the several commands under their charge, as follows: Chatham Ar tillery j Howell’s Battery, of Sandersville; the Southern Bifles, of Talbottoo; the Colnmbns Guardi; Quitman Guards, of Forsyth; and the Bavannah Guards’ Battalion.

The Great $35,000 Express Vase at Ang intis, Ua.-t)iiarg e of Judge Mieed te the Jury. Gentlemen of ths Jury: Yon are eworn to well and truly try tnis oase and a true verdiot give acoording to ths law ae given yon in charge, and the opinion yon enters tain of the evidence. Tbe inonmbant of the Bsnoh, too, is also Bating under oath to deal out impar tial justice between the high and the low, the rioh and poor, the hnmble and the exalted alike. Eecn without an oath, that innate aenee of justice which nature implants in the bosom of mao, wonld cause any man who is worthy to occupy a seat upon the Bench, to impartially ad minister the law, as the incumbent of the Bench may understand it. Hence I feel it Incumbent upon me to repil and reprobate any insinnatioir that any of the Coarts of this State oonld be led in the remotest degree from the path of duty by passion or any other' consideration. This is not a criminal'case, but jmre ly a eivil suit,, to recover a pack age of $25,000 -whick tha plaintiff alleges that the defendant, Lynch, converted . to his own use, while engaged by it aa express messenger, In criminal cases, tha jury mast be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt, as' to guilt. Bnt in civil oases of this charac ter, the preponderance of testimony is. sufficient to produce mental bonviosion; and that preponderance is for the jury to determine, not from the mere number ot witnesses on the respective sides, bnt from interest, opportunity and general deportment, and manner of testifying, and all other oirenmstanoes effecting credit. Yon should not lay stress upon doubts whioh may exist of tha proof of a partic ular faot; bat it is'enough that thej 'evi dence preponderates to satisfy you of tha exiatenoe and truth of snoh fact. The truth and theirufk alone is the objeot.'of your investigation. Yon have nothing to do with what the public says abont y onr verdiot, and if that should enter for one moment into yonr consideration yon are not upright and’ intelligent men, whioh the law presumes yon to be, and yon are not fit to occupy yonr positions as jarors la this oase. Neither are yon responsible for the oon- sequences of yonr verdict. The law alone is responsible; bnt yon are responsible to yonr consciences and yonr God for the sincerity and truth of that verdict. Tha simple question for you to determine in this caBe is, was there a conversion? For, strip it of all extraneous matter, take away all the cause which the ingenuity and elcquenoe of counsel have shown it, and at last it comes back to this ques tion « “Did the defendant, Lynob, convert to his own use the package of $25,0C0, as desoribed in plaintiff’s petition of trover? If he dtd make the conversion; if he ap propriated it to his own nae, at any time font years previous to the institution of this suit, the plaintiff is entitled to re cover. If yon are satisfied from the ev- idenoe that the package as described Was delivered to tbe defendant, and that he failed to deliver it to his connecting mes-* senger for Athene, Gsorgia, at $.ugosta, Georgia, then the next question for yon to determine is, did the Express Company, through its agent, make a demand upon defendant thoretor, and was there are- tnsal or failure to comply with suoh de mand? If you ana wet these'qnestfdns in the affirmative, i that he reoeived the package of $25,000, that he - failed to deliver it to the connecting messenger at Angusta, and that there was a demand and a failnre upon his part to comply with tbe demand; then there arises a presumption rf the law that he converted the property to hie ownluse, and theburdtn of proof is upon him, the defendant, Lynch, to show satisfactorily to your minds that he did not so convert' 'it. Has tho defendant reasonably and sat isfactorily nooonnted for the alleged lose? If he has, yonr verdict should be for de fendant. Bnt if he has not—if you have not reached a mental oonvictioh, as honest acd well meaning men, that he has ac counted satisfactorily for the loss of tho package, or in other words, if you are not satisfied that he did not convert it to bis own nae, then it is your duty, under your oaths, to render a verdiot for th e plaintiff for the highest proven value of the property aued for, to be discharged by a delivery of the property itself. Tbe verdiot claimed by the plaintiffs was for the sum of $25,000, to be satis fied by the retnrn of the property; wh-6 is called an alternate verdict. The ver dict of the jury was as thus asked for by the plaintiffs. What its effeot wi 1 be we presume will be determined by the Court and counsel. The following is the verdiot in full: “We, the jury, find for the plaintiffs in the sum of $25,000, the said sum to he paid to the plaintiff* by the defendant to be discharged by the surrender of the property sued for within twenty days from date.

Another- fin* day and fine traok favored the stock men yester day, and the sports of the turf were very mnch enjoyed. The racing was witness ed by a large crowd on the grand stand. Several times ths enthusiasm over:some dbpUy of speed or closely contested heat found vent in oh ears and applansew Toe first was a trotting raoe for parse 10, $200, mile heats, beat three in fire, first horse, $125; second, $50; third r $25. There were three entries and starters —Ned M, Trouble and F. B. Trouble took the pole, F. B. next and Ned M, on tbe ontaide. The horses got off well. Ned M. and Trouble contending for the track; at the quarter, Ned led. On the back stretch, tho Horses were spaced along the track with F. B. closing on Trouble and finally passing him, On tbe home stretob,Ned closed the gap between him and the other two, and oame in under a pull two and a halt lengths ahead, F. B. seoond and Trouble third. Time 2:40. In the second heat, Ned M. led by* length at tne qoarur pole, F. B. second and Tronble behind, on aocounr of a break. The positions were nnohanged to the upper turn, when F.‘ B. lappbd with Ned M. who,hoWeVer, recovered and came in easily by a length, F. B. seoond and Trouble third. Time, 2:42. Tbe third heat was a slow one. The trotting was good to the quarter pole, when Ned went away and led by a full length, increasing his advantage to two lengths on the upper turn. On the home stretch he still held the lead and took the heat and raoe easily. Time, 2:52. The second race, a running face, for three-year-olds and under, mile heats, best two iu three, pars* $200—$150 to first and $50 to seoond horse, was one of the moat interesting of the entire fair. There wer* three starters, Buckshot, See lam and Meohlenberg. They came to the pole in the order named. A good send off was had, Seelam going to the front and leading off several lengths. At the half mile tarn the horses were bunch ed, Seelam having lost his lead, but re covered and again went away one length on tbe npper tarn, the other horses un der blanket oover. At the three quarter pole, however, Bnokshot and Meohlen berg both passed Seelam. Both came down the home stretch neck and neck. Buckshot taking tbe heat by a nose, amid mnch enthusiasm, Meohlenberg 2ad, Seelam 3rd under heavy whip and spur foor lengths hehind.' Time 1:55 In the seoond heat Meohlenberg lead by two lengths, and then foor to tbe back etreteh, when Bnckehot closed the gap to one length, Seelam four lengths in the rear. At the half mile pole the relative positions were nnohanged, Mech- lenberg increasing tbe gap to the three- quaiteis pole. On the home stretoh both horses did some fine work, Book- shot under whip and spar. At the dis- tanoe pole Macklenberg bolted, whioh gave some advantage to the other hones. To twenty yards of the string they ran neck and neck, Machlenberg winning the heat by a nose. Seelam distanced. Time 1:50*. The result of this heat created great dissatisfaction, and there was a decided demand on the part of the backers of Buekabot that his rider be ohanged, they claiming that he was held in. The judges placed a new rider on the horse. In this heat Seelam knocked a darkey down who had gotten on the track. The third heat was between Bnokshot and Meohlanbnrg. At the very outset, the hones were under blanket oover and moved around the traok in this posi tion to the three-quarter pole,giving one of the prettiest exhibitions of well matched speed ever seen on the grounds, On the lower atretoh, Meohknburg, who was bolding tbe pole, bolted to the out side, losing valuable time. Buekshot took the beat and raoe easily by three lengths, Meohlanbnrg coming in seoond under whip rad spur. Tim*, 1:48*. The third, a trotting raoe, for Georgia owned horses, mile heats, beet three in five; parse $209; $125 to the first horse; $60 to the seoond, rad $25 to the third horse. Allle Wilkes, John Kemble Jackson and John M. started.

They constitute already overs fifth of the entire population, and are aunest all males, a hey are uteful en the sugar plantations, bat they do not assimilate with tha native population, whose extinction they they threaten at an early day, and whoa they will hardly replace satiefoutoriij a* loyal subjects and citizens. The government is trying 10 get the needed labor supphss from the Bsuth Rea Islands, but the owners of the Hawaian sugar estates, who care only for their own business interests, are perfectly willing to take the cheaper Chinese. Over 2,000 Utunamen arrived at Honolulu in tho second half of last year, which, considering tbe scanty population of the islands, is pret ty heavy immigration. jfcB&men OaciTAL Coning Tho New York gansayc: ‘In tne course of the next five yeata a vast Amount of British capital will find its way to this country, where branches of English business houses will bs establish ed, wilds' m many esses tbe main business will be transferred here. We may see this to day in New loik, where shops are con stantly being oatabliehed by Englishmen. The great dry goods houses are largely re presented oy them. The English oapitaliat, feeling an absolute security in our public finances, will more and more pour those hoares which he ia at his wits’ ena to know how to invest into associations oon rooted by his own oounteymen here, and tbe benefit will acorns to both oonntriea. The present trouble in England will thus tend to bind even oleaer the oommsroial interests of tbs 00 on tries Englishmen already own large p vesestious in one West, and eveiyyear wifl aee the number of snoh proprietons increase. Within a very few years there will bs a duly mail alesiner to England.’ Oct. 29.—The Tribuna l!
