It Is Impossible within tbe limits of n nowa-

Judge Bradley** Opinion
On the question of the manner In which the ju
ries were drawn for the Federal Court now sit
ting in that city, will be found elsewhere. It
will surprieo no oae who rt fleets how thor
oughly partisan the Federal Judiciary has be-
eome under the pressure of Radical hate of tbe
Booth and eontempt of the law. Tbe act of
the Federal officials who made np this jury for
a certain well defined purpose was the act of
tbe administration, aud must therefore be sus
tained. That is now the law In this Radical-
on reed land, and we are foolish ever to hope or
expect any other result.
It will be seen that this loyl Judge sustained,
and with a gusto that is plainly manifest, all
the doings of Farrow, a al Tho spectacle of
tbe jury box filled for tbe most part with venge
ful, ignorant negroes and whites no leas vindic
tive and hardly lesa intelligent, seems to have
inspired his soul with pious delight, and he
points with emphatic pride to tbe brave array
a* the beat that oonld have been found in tbe
district, aad that tbe result of their work was
tbe highest evidence that the doty if selecting
them bad been wisely discharged.
It will also be seen that after getting through
with bis opinion he proceeded, as is tbe fashion
with too many of bia compeers nowadays, to
make a stomp speech of tbe moat approved loyl
pattern. He ascribes the objection the people
of Georgia have to jaries made np as these have
been, to partisan hostility to tbe government
and its officers and laws, which is an old story
and heard frequently before from the pure lips
of tbe immaculate Underwood, and the no leu
saintly Bond in Yirginla and North Carolina.
Ha doea not think that our people have sufficient
respect for Federal officials—ia which he is
nndoebtediy right. The Sontbern poo;It having
been taught to look for, and before the advent
of Radicalism to fled honesty of oharaoter and
pnrpose and intelligence in those officials, can
not show what they do not feel when they find
aooh a woeful lack of both among the majority
of that class. They have not been taught to
admire snoh creatures as Underwood, Bond,
Durell, Farrow and Akerman. On the eontrarj
they have always cultivated and will continue to
ouTlivate a hearty contempt for this class, and
they will never learn to substitute any other
feeling for it until these men oease to carry
their party and personal hate* and schemes of
vengeanoe into the courts. Judge Btadley may
rest assnred of this and spare his breath when
be meditates another stamp speech for the pur
pose of correcting Ibis error.
Sticks to It.
The Griffin Star in a “meet lame and im
potent ” rejoinder to car rebnke far calling the
white people of Lonlaiona nnder the lead of
Governor McEnery “ a Radical faction,” con-
tlnno' to exhibit Us ignoranoe in a manner at
once Indicrons and pitiable. It says:
The assumption that the McEnery party is
the white man's party is a very violent one.
Fuats do not ebaw it. McEaery is n Radical,
and has been running that schednie all the
while. Kellogg ia also a Radical, and quite as
objeotionable in point of politlos as McEnery,
but no more so. The latter, however, did trade
with some Democratic politicians who were “on
the mako” for part of the spoils. Wo suppose
that “white people,'' that ia those who belong
ed to the oliqnes, wbo had been trading with
McEnery, did voto for McEnery; bat thousands
of tbe best “while people” in tbe State did not
voto for either, becanse they had no choice be
tween them, and had nn equal contempt for
both. This we hear from me best authority,
whloh wo believe reliable.
Booh utter lack of information its to the aitn.
ation in Loniaiana is incomprehensible. Mc
Eaery is one of the pnreBt, truest and most un
flinching Democrats or Conservative' to bo
fonnd in that or any other State. He was a
Confederate officer of high renown and most
approvod gallantry, end spent several weeks in
Mnoon daring the war, recovering from severe
wounds reoeived, wo bolieve, at Ghickamanga,
and made many warm friends hero daring that
time. He was the rognlar nominee for Gover
nor of the Demoorata and Liberal Repnbifoans
of Loniaiana, as was Kellogg of the Radicals,
and as such was fought, and tradnoed and finally
cheated ont of tbe offioe to which hs was fairly
and nndispotnbly elected, by that party aided
by a drunken Federal Jadgo and his master’s
bayonets. Ho and his frionda were denonneod
ns rebels, and traitors, and Democrats, by every
loyl lick spittle on the flwr of Congress who
took part in tho debate on Louisiana affairs at
the last session of that body, and these denuncia
tions were re echoed by almost the entire press
of that parly. The Star’s attack is the very first
intimation we have ever heard from any quarter
that McEnery was not a Democrat or Conserva
tive ; and if we bad not seen its artiole we
wonld not have believed that any editor of aver-
age intelligence, oonld make such an egregious
blander. It Is a matter of profound regret that
any man should be so illy informed on foots that
have been so thoroughly ventilated for months,
and still mors reprehensible that such Ignorance
should oause him to pen snoh a libel upon men
and principles that ought to be, and are dear to
every hater of tyranny in this and every other
land.
We respectfully suggest thst the Star get up
an exchange with some Louisiana newspapers—
it don't matter at all as to their politlos—and
find out what they say as to McEnery's being a
Radical, and whether or not thonsands of the
best white people bad no choice, and an equal
eontempt for both he and Kellogg. Or let him
refer the question to Kellogg himself, or Du-
rell, or brother-in-law Casey, or any other mem-
ber of the bloated gang of plunderers and usur
pers who are ’cowering nnder the shadow of
Grant's bayonets to proteot themselves from the
Radicalism” snd McEnery of the real peo
ple of Louisian*.
In all seriousness wo protest against such
statements. They may have the effeot of
weakening thst ardent sympathy for our friends
in Louisiana that they have so earnestly snd el
qnontly invoked, and whloh ia all that we can
give them. They oonfose and muddle a question
that Is as clear as truth itself, and which should
serve to roinforoe and result that sentiment of
Indignation sgiinst the political criminals who
now rule the conntry whloh banded the people
of Georgia together to overthrow and chase
them from this State. If tbe other Southern
States, and notably Loniaiana, are ever to be free
again it can only cams to pass by letting their
people know first that we thoronghly under
stand and appreciate their condition, and that
we will give them the powerfal support of our
united, earnest, snd intelligent sympathy.

Special attention is directed to the communi
cation of Rev. James Godfrey A Son, general
State agents for Georgia, taken from the At

The writer of this article was in Si. Louis
daring the late convention of polioy holders and

the Messrs. Godfrey are strictly in accordance
with foots. Indeed, he was present at one of
the meetings, and heard them canvassed and in

lions, evinees that it was strong enough to dare
to do that which was obviously right. A weak
organization wonld have made a dividend, even
if a loan had to be resorted to. Bat the St.

To tie Edison of the Heralds
Ia your report of the interview with me,
published in yonr paper of this morning, there
is one inaoenrscy which I desire to correct, it
not being my purpose to do any one injostioe.
I had no agreement with Governor Brown as to
the ellowanoe of one dollar per ton for iron
rolled by me. In feet, I never sonver-«d with
tbe President cl the road abont it. Tbe ar
rangement by which I was compelled to silo
the one dollsr per ton was made with another
of the officials. What the oompany was charged
I. of course, cannot tell. Be pleased to publish
this communication, as yonr report may oonvey

on tbe subject. With the exoeption herein no-

Jfr. Louis Scofidd, AtlanUi:
Sir:—I see In the Herald, this morning,
what purports to be an interview between the
reporter of thst paper and yourself, full of er
rors and misstatements. Among other things,
tbe writer pats this langntge in yonr month:
“ My troubles grew more and more, until I
saw plainly that I wat rained nnless I oonld
make friends of the mammon of nnrighteoas-
ce«a, and I agreed to allow Governor Brown
one dollar per ton on all iron I rolled for him.
This««mod to dj for twhile, bat atill the gteet
o*nae of my trouble was not removed." I do
not believe yon made any snoh statement to tbe
reporter of the Herald. If, by the language
need, it is Intended to aay that yon agreed to
allow me, as an individual, a dollar a ton on
iron rolled for the oompany over whloh I pre
side, or any other earn, both you and I know
that the statement is utterly false, as we
both know not a woid ever passed between
yon and me abont allowing me, as an indi
vidual, anything for any patronage yon re-
oeived from the State Road. Yon know that
yon have never paid ms a oent on any snoh
account, that I have never demanded it, and
that there has never been any agreement or
understanding abont it. As the statement is
published in the papets, snd purports to be
yonr langntge, I call yonr attention to it, and
demand that yon set it right immediately. As
to oertain other statements attributed to yon
by the reporter of the Herald. I have record
evidence that they are false, and will not at
present trouble yon with them. Bat, nnless
yon choose to review them yoarself, and make
ths proper oorreotions, I will do it from the
reoord at the proper time. I desire an imme
diate reply to this note.

Hon. Joseph E Itrown, Sza—-Yonr communi
cation teaching the reported interview with me
by a Herald reporter is reoeived. While the
language of the report may not, in exaot parti-
cnlant, be that which I naed, yet that report Is
in all other matters substantially correob
Touching the quoted passage of whloh yon oom-
plain particularly, I did not intend to make tbe
impression that I paid yon a bribe of a dollar
per ton, which I find, on reference to the sen
tence, as it appears in that report may be lia
ble to snch oonstrnotion. And before I reoeived
yonr latter I bad called at the Herald office and
left a communication requesting them to make
tbe correction. All I know is that in order to
retain tbe patronage of yonr road I did agree to
let yon have the iron at one dollar per ton less
than I did last year. It was $37 50 last year.
Yonr directors will know whether yon kept tbe
dollar per ton or not It is a matter of which
I am ignorant As to anything else in that in-
terview, I stand by it as beiDg jnat as near the
tinth as my memory servos rue, and yon are at

Pulaski Connty Court was in session on Mon

oonrt has become qnite an important tribunal

of the last grand jnry we learn that Jndge
Henry disposed of 230 civil oases and 30 crim
inal cases. A large sum of money is saved to

In the Uoitod States Conrt room on Friday
afternoon, a decidedly interesting issue was
made and fcngbl ont before Jadges Bradley and
Woods, between District Attorney Farrow and
Mr. J. J. Abrams, summoned as a witnes in
the case of tbe indictment of Mr. Waring Rus
sell. It seems that Mr. Abrams, who is a Mag
istrate, issued the search warrant against the
negro, Paul Noble, wbo filed tbe information
against Mr. Knssell in tbe mstter, was sub-
paened Thursday to appear with his court docket
and reported pnnc'nally at the District Attor
ney's effics, wbero he refused to permit that in
dividual to examine bis docket, telling bim be
could do so in open court or in the Magistrate's
own office. This made the Federal function
ary wroth, and be ordered Magistrate Abrams
not to leave the sittings of the United States
Conrt witnont his permission, and in compli
ance withthisrequirement ho was kept in attend-
ance npon tbe session of tbe court Friday when
ail the other witnesses bsd been discharged,
although pressing judicial business demanded
his attention there. Jnst before the adjourn,
ment of the Federal Conrt Friday afternoon,
ths detained witness asked the presiding
Judges, Associate Justice Bradley, of tbe Sn-
prorno Conrt, and Circuit Jadgo Woods, tbe
privilege of stating the fact' of ths case before
them. After detailing tho facts, Mr. Abrams
submitted to the Court that the District Attor
ney had no authority to demand an inspection
of bis Court docket outside of bis Magistrate's
office, or of the open Conrt to which he was
summoned as a witness, referred to his deten
tion when the other witnesses in the same case
hod been allowed to go, and charged the Dis
trict Attorney in emphaiie, severe and deoided
terms, with being actuated in the affair by a
petty spite, and that contemptible spirit which
is pnffed np by a little brief authority. Justice
Bradley promptly allowed Mr. Abrams the priv
ilege extended to ether witnesses of which the
District Attorney had endeavored to deprive
him.
An Irruption of Jubilant Editor*.
In the gloaming of tha evening yesterday a
band of joyous knights of the quill poured into
onrsanoinm, each brimful of good cheer and
spirits, whether ethereal or distilled this depo
nent doth not affirm, and all eager to recount
how they were lionized and feted by the hos
pitable people of America'. One good brother
deolsred that the demonstration was far more
imposing than it wonld have been in a large
city. For, said hs, the 7,000 people of the
town turned out as one man to do us honor, and
vied with eaoh. other in their attentions.
Whereas in a crowded oity, onr advent would
have been almost nnnotloed.
On Thursday night the grand ball and ban-
qnet came off, and the press gang of Georgia
showed they were as nimble with the heel and
toe as with the pen and scissors. Wine flowed
like water, and in the entrancing maze' of tbe
danoe, tha heartrending cry of “more eopy”
for the nonce was forgotten. How many were
left hors da combat on the field, or were able to
stagger away, does not exactly transpire. And
indeed no one seemed to be competent to give
any very oohsrent sooonnt either of himself or
neighbor.
Upon one eonoliision, however, they were
unanimous—they had bad a jolly good time of
it, and were land in their praises of their gen-
erous entertainers.
During the evening a mxgnifleent pyramidal
oake was presented to the Assoolstion by Mrs.
CL W. Hancock, through Mr. Douglass, Fieri-
dent of Farlow Female College, who was res
ponded to by Mr. Miller, of the Columbus Sun.
Afterward', tha Pressmen very graoefully
donated the oake to the young ladies of the
College, who had given them a concert.
The presentation was by Brother Baker, of
BUskahaar, bat a native of Liberty oonnty.
Baker was one of the four bachelors present,
and he just spread himself. The Houris and
tbe angels, and the lilies of the valley, and the
Rose of Sharon, were tunehere oom pared to these
Americas gals. The poor fellow's chaps water
ed et tho sight, and his very soul went forth in
poetio rhapsody. The result was, he and his
three oomrsdes came off victors and bore away
a mule load of bouquets.
The names of our visiting friends were J. H.
Estill, of the Savannah News; Stone, of the
Monroe Advertiser; E. Y. Clarke, of the Con
stitntion; H. W. Ham, of the Dodge Connty
Times, and L. W. Baker, of the Biaokahear
Georgian.

Skewing For tbe Past Twelve Hon ths.
From the reports of the President and Super
intendent of this road to the stockholders at
their annual meeting at Augusta last Thursday,
we condense as follows:
Total gross receipts, $1,623,456 53, aud tofal
expenditures, $1,133,260 75, leaving a net profit
of $490,195 78, or abont 12 per oent. on tho
capital stock of the oompany. The inorease in
gross earnings over last year amounts io $289,
000, of which $232,000 came from freights and
$7,000 from passengers. From oonneoting
roads there were received $173,000, of which
snm $225,000 were from freights to and from
Nashville and points west of that city. There
was an increase last year of 131,830 bales of
ootton over tbe number transported the year
before, but from competition, which foroed
rates down, there was not a corresponding in
orease of reoelpta. Daring the year $316,999-
43 have been expended in material and labor,
and repairing and improving the traok. Nearly
40 miles of new traok have been laid daring the
year. The company has 56 engines, of which
40 are in active service, and tho number of
mites run was 1,103,551—an inorease of 132,501
over the preceding year. The company owns
700 cars of all kinds, bnt will require at least
200 additional box cars next fall. The road
transported 294,300 bales of cotton, 1,897,640
bushels cf oom, 96,181 barrels of floor and
57,720,285 pounds of guano. The total receipts
from the Maoon and Augusts road for the year
were $120,758 09, and the total expense! $113,-
2G7 60—leaving the net earning $7,490 49. As
oompared with last year this exhibit shows an
increase in gross earnings of $26,623 07, with a
redaction in expenses of $6,746 29. A consid
erable quantity of lnmber will be required to
build and repair the bridges and depot' on this
road. Temporary trestles will have to be re-
placed, some bridges repaired and a few depots
eroded and enlarged. One hundred and fifty
tons of new iron will be reqnired to replace the
bad and laminated rails on the line of tha road,
and replace the old worn ont rails between
Oamaok and Warrenton.
Tha old Board of Directors were nnanimonsiy
re-elooted, as wore President King and Messrs.

Continued Explosions—Ifnrrowlug Scenes
—'The Fires Still tinging.
Halifax, May 14.—The latest newa from tho
Drummond colliory this morning represonts
that the fire ia still raging in the shafts and
slopes, and that all hopes of rescuing the men
must bo abandoned. It is now stated there
were sixty men in the pit. Another heavy ex-
plosion occurred in the mine at two o’clock this
morning. It is thought to be almost impossi
ble that any of tbo men in the pit oou be liv
ing. It is known that only four or five got ont
before the explosion. The fire caught from a
flask of gun powdor and the men remained to
pnt ont the flime3. One report says Mr. Dunn
and thirty volunteer' went down to assist in
putting ont the fire abont twenty minutes be
fore tha explosion occurred, at which time it is
supposed that all the men wero near the fltme'
and that many if not all were killed Rt once by
the explosion.
LATER.
Tbe fire at Drummond’s colliery continues, bnt
is slowly abating, ail the openings being filled
np, and a stream bas been turned into an air
shaft lately worked, Tbe list of killed, as far
at known, comprises 26 men leaving wife and
family, and 22 single men. The total number
of killed will probably reach 75 Tbe wounded
are six, of wbom two are fatally injured. The
men who have escaped with great difficulty
from the slope report that on their way np they
passed bodies of their comrades who had prob
ably beoome Btupefied by smoke. Several vio
lent explosions took place last night. One was
perceptibly felt four miles distant. An inquest
commenced yesterday and adjourned until this
evening.
A TERRIFIC SPECTACLE.
WzsivttLE, Ficton oonnty, N. S —From 10
o’clock last night until daylight this morning
the fire at Drummond colliery raged with great
fieroenesr, gathering volume and violenoe each
moment. The sky in the vicinity of the calam
ity was illuminated with the flames from the air
shaft to the height of nearly one hundred feet.
All through the night there wore explosions at
intervals. These wero preceded by a rumbling
noise resembling thunder. The weary watchers
who remained around the pit's mouth and air-
shaft, and labored to subdue tbe flames, were
obliged to seek shelter in an adjoining wood, as
stone', debris, etc., were thrown from the pit’s
month at eaoh explosion, being scattered around
in all directions, and threatened instant destruc
tion or injury to every one within reaob.
Abont two o’olook this afternoon these explo
sions were followed by one which, for terrifio
violenoe and destructive foroe, dwarfed all the
rest. The wooden works in and abont tha Main
Slope were instantly destroyed ; Btones, wood
and burning embers were driven high into tho
air ; smoke, flamo aud horriblo noises accom
panying the explosions, giving the beholder a
vivid idea of a volcanio eruption. The earth
for miles around was shaken with the violence
of the explosion. The laborers are now at work
filling np the shaft with clay, and hope' are
entertained that the worst danger is over nnless
another explosion takes place.
The scenes in and around the village are sad-
dening. Weatville and the village at Drum
mond Colliery are in mourning. The shops are
closed and tbe men acd women wander about
in groups, their Baddened countenances beto
kening the great grief that has befallen them.
No pen can correctly picture the harrowing
scenes of yesterday when the terrible truth was
conveyed to the mourning wives, sisters snd
friends of those who were so suddenly hurried
into eternity. The utmost exoitement prevail
ed, and for hours it was impossible to ascertain
who were or weie notin tbe mine. The women,
many of whom had husbands and sons working
in the colliery, made the air diBtnal with their
orying. One of the rescuing party was killed
by an explosion yesterday and driven Into the
air a diatanoe of 100 feet and fell into the wood
near by, where his dead body was picked np
this morning. About 45 of tbe men lost were
married, all of whom leave families to monrn
their sad fate. Nearly every family here lest
some relative or friend by this terrible calamity.
Many reasons are given to account foi the
disaster, bnt the direct canse is attributable to
tbe stoppage of work at tbe mines and tbe ac
cumulation of gas. Whether proper care and
precaution were exercised daring tbe stoppage
in looking after the mine are facts which will be
determined npon official inquiry.
At 4:30 p. m., there was no'change in the con
dition of tbe fire. The flames are still iaaning
from the shaft, and an opinion prevails that
there will be more heavy explosions. The num
ber known to be killed has now reached 59.
“Raising” Collaterals—$200,000 Gone
Boston, May 14.—James A. Coe, banker,
charged with irregularities in State street, was
arrested at his xeeidenoe this afternoon. Among
his alleged operations are raising the certificates
of three shares of Michigan Central Railroad to
three hnndred shares, two of the Boston and
Albany Railroad to two hnndred shares, one of
the Eastern Railroad to one hnndred shares, two
of the certificates of the Old Colony Railroad
from two to two hnndred, and three certificates
of one share to one hnndred each. The Boston
Water Power Company’s stock is also said to
have been operated npon in a similar manner.
The altered certificates have been used os col
laterals, and it is supposed that abont $200,000
have been fraudulently obtained. The firms
already heard from suffer to the extent of one
hnndred thousand. The Third National Bank
in January lost loaned Coe $20,000, taking as
collateral a certificate for 200 shore* of Old
Colony Railroad stock, whioh now proves to
have been raised from a genuine certificate for
two shares. Coe, wbo srss formerly oonneoted
with the house of J. N. Fisk, is about 35 years
of age and has heretofore sustained sn enviable
reputation. He is ooe of the best known men
on the street, and is a member of the Broken’
