root or branch, and on the end of each
branch is a good-sized, well-developed ear
of corn—not a “nubbin.” There are eight
joints on the stalk, and consequently eight
branches and eight ears. The ears on the
bottom branches are the smallest and they
increase in size towards the top—the high
est ears being the largest This corn was
raised by accident. The seed was in a sack

Hawkinsvlile Dispatch: Col. Walter Mc-

nee river, and caught at one baiting three
catfish averaging six and a half feet long,
and making a total length of nineteen and a
half feet, and also about a bushel of smaller
cats. The basket was too heavy to lift into
the boat and bad to be drawn through the
water to a sand bank on the shore, where it
was rolled out on land. The next time the
basket caught au alligator about nine feet
long.” Thus we have told the story as
it was told to us. We never learned the
kind of bait used, but do sensible ’gator, it
seems to us, would venture into a fish bas
ket for anything less than a fifteen-year-old
nigger boy.

The shafts rest independently of the body,
which rests upon the axle. The side
springs between tho body aud the axle re
lieves the horse from the weight on his back

THE CASE OF HARNEY RICHARD.
A Miraculous t-ruorf Jury—The Radical
Cabal at Work—Evidence Heard ap the
Chimney—Home Positive Teatlmonv in
Richard’s Favor—Will the Grand Jnrv
Find a True Bill ?
[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.)
Fernandina, October 28, 1875.
A MIRACLE.
The grand jury of Nassau county is
composed of eleven white men and four
Africans, and ten of the former are sup
posed to be gentlemen. This jury is a
miracle beyond the peradventure of a
doubt, aud the Radical goslings are in
sack-cloth and ashes, as a result of the
Sheriff's imbecility in empanelling such
an unprecedented body. A tremen
dous effort will be made to co
erce a true bill, but the probabilities
are that the jury will fail to agree. The
conspirators against the life of Harney
Richard will leave no stone unturned to
influence the minds of the jurymen un
favorably towards the defendant, and the
nether lips of the entire tribe are lowered
to such an extent at the (to them) disa
greeable prospect that it would not be an
impossible feat to pick their teeth
with their toe-nails. The flashing
eye of the famous puppet, Judge
Archibald, is veiled with an appear
ance of tragic dismay; the sinister
expression of Thomas McMurray has been
intensified by his arduous labors in drill
ing witnesses; McDonell, the prosecuting
attorney, exhibits an ill-suppressed ex
pression of disgust for the whole pro
ceedings, and Emmons, associate counsel
for the State—l beg pardon, for the Rad
ical plotters—seems to regard the whole
matter in no other light than as a simple
fee. The
CAUCUSING BETWEEN THE CABALI6TS
is not the least interesting and ominous
feature of their remarkable evolutions.
The defendant, Harney Richard, is not
in Fernandina for prudential reasons,
but is within easy reach of the telegraph
at any moment. The witnesses for the
defense are all here, and it seems to be
the preconceived purpose of the manipu
lators of this tragi-comedy to entail as
much expense upon the friends of this
poor (for Harney Richard is no more
than a poor farmer) unfortunate man as
they can.
The jury entered into the investigation
of the Richard case yesterday, but thus
far have progressed very slowly. Mc-
Donoll, Emulous and MoMurray insisted
upon their right to sit m the jury room
and examine the witnesses — i. e., put evi
dence in their mouths. In consequence
of the jury's prompt decision to deny
this illustrious trio (who will, with Ar
chibald and our one-sided Execu
tive, be renowned in future story and
song) the unheard of privilege of
BROWBEATING THE WITNESSES,
they concluded to secure the “Jedge’s”
aid and endeavor to intimidate the jury.
The jury saved them from an addition to
the inaiy blunders they have committed
throughout this campaign, and came out
victorious. Now, as I desire no one to
indulge In wild oonjectures as to how I
obtained the information scattered
through this letter, I will candidly as
sert that I penetrated the sacred secrets
of the jury room by taking up my head
quarters on the roof of the beautiful
edifice devoted to court matters, and ran
a spyglass down the chimney. I do not
pretend to give the testimony of the wit
ness mentioned below verbatim, as my
hearing is defective, and, at that altitude,
some words must necessarily have es
caped my ear. A Doctor Brown, a den
tist, who resides in St. Mary’s, Georgia,
but who was at Hart’s road on profes
sional business on the day the man with
the celebrated cream mare was there,
and who sat opposite to the
stranger during dinner at Farmer’s,
was summoned for the State, but proved
to be a
VALUABLE AUXILIARY FOB THE DEFENSE.
He testified substantially as follows,
and as seen through a spyglass: Witness
is a dentist by profession, and was pull
ing teeth at Farmer’s at the time; stran
ger stopped there with a double barreled
gun and cream-colored apimal; this
was on the ‘2lst day of July, 1875;
witness believes that Johnson was killed
that night; noticed the visitor closely
and particularly, and paid some attention
to his mare; sat opposite him at the din
ner table. Some two or three weeks
since witness was at Starke and was de
scribing the man he saw at Farmer’s as
a short, thick set man, when a by-stander
asked, “Is the man you saw there in this
room ?” After some hesitation to satisfy
himself, witnessed answered, “No.” Wit
ness was then introduced to Harney Rich
ard and requested to state if he had ever
seen this man before. Witness had then
said, “Is this the man whom they accuse
of murdering Johnson? He is as unlike
the man I saw at Farmer’s as any one can
be.” Witness had seen the mare, saj-’ to
be the one ridden by the straD'- , in
Jacksonville. It was not the ani
mal that passed Farmer’s on that day.
The witness then said with emphasis:
POSITIVE EVIDENCE.
“I swear positively that Harney Richard
is not the man who was at Farmer’s,
near Hart's road, on the twenty-first day
of July, 1875.” As might be imagined,
this testimony has set the whole Radical
camp agog, and a greater pressure will
doubtless be brought to bear on the jury.
Unless vexed by obstacles thrown pur
posely in their way, they will arrive at a
verdict or finally disagree in a few days—
more likely the latter. * Banquo.
Fernandina, October 29, 1875.
Your correspondent acquires his infor
mation in this instance by the conde
scending mediation of a stomach-pump,
and his legal lore from “Gouge on Ven
tilation.” The grand jury of Nassau
county were engaged yesterday nearly all
day in • the examination of the case of
Harney Richard, and as intimated in my
letter of yesterday, the ring is applying
the thumb-screws to that body even with
more vigor than was anticipated.
BOUGHT TESTIMONY.
Three depraved, characterless and enor
mously cheap nigger customers were ena
bled to testify yesterday, and swore posi
tively that they were personally acquainted
with Harney Richard, and that he was at
Hart's road on the 21st of July last. The
price paid for this evidence can be ap
proximated pretty correctly—passage to
and from court, board, four drinks,
and one dollar apiece per diem while
here. As seen through the spy-glass,
before alluded to, they gave thnir testi
mony in a tremulous, wavering sort of
fashion, with every appearance of false
hood embellishing their sooty counte
nances. William F. Shepard, of Jackson
ville, was examined and simplT stated
that the mare's feet had
cently trimmed. Thomas McMur
ray uttered his firm convic
tion that Harney Richard committed
the murder, and claimed that the fact
could be proved, in his peculiar and
grotesque style.
uncle tad.
T. A. McDonnell, persecuting attorney,
at the instigation of J. P. C. Emmons,
assistant State s attorney, requested the
"Jedge to send for the grand jury, and
charge that body that they could not,
under any circumstances, admit the wit
nesses for the defense to testify before
them, and read from a ponderous tome
in corroboration of his position. Law
is “ whatever is plausibly asserted
and boldly maintained," and the
Jedge, after a transparent simulation
of hesitancy, concluded to have the jury
brought before his august self, and in
effect instructed them to find an indict
ment against the defendants in all cases.
Judge Long, counsel for defense, arose
during the debate and requested the court
to note his exceptions to the entire pro
ceedings, whereupon McDonnell stated
that his motion referred not to any par
ticular case, and that if any one had di
vulged the secrets of the jury room a
grave offence had been perpetrated.
A SURPRISE.
The astute State's Attorney will open
wide his eyes when he learns that at the
very time he grew so eloquent, owing to
the enterprise of the Morning News, the
entire transactions of the preceding day
had been forwarded to that journal.
Now I happen to be aware that this en
tire business was concocted early in the
morning, and that the forced expression
of surprise on the “Jedge's” phiz
wnen McDonnell made his motion
was a complete fraud.
BAD FAITH.
The court then very promptly" ad
journed until to-day in order, it is sur
mised, to prevent a corrective motion on
the part of the defense. This transac
tion was in direct violation of an agree
ment made by the State’s attorney with
the brother of the defendant that the
witnesses for the accused should be
permitted to go before the grand
jury, and in consequence of this
arrangement twenty-five witnesses
are here on expenses, and at a great injury
to their business. On account of these
remarkable instructions of Archibald the
status of the jury is somewhat different
from the way they stood at last writing.
It is therefore, in the Radical opinion, by
no means improbable that they may be
forced, by specious arguments, to indict
the accused. A disagreement would give
them six months in which to procure a
jury better adapted to their purposes.
SOME REFLECTIONS.
He inortius nil nisi bonurn is an excel
lent adage, perhaps, in the estimation of
some people, but it is a consummate
swindle, and was doubtless originated
by some superfluity who was extremely
apprehensive lest his posthumous memoirs
should be communicated to the world.
No hardened wretch would hazard the
assertion that Bill W. Hicks or the im
maculate Stearns would desire to take
advantage of the large charity recom
mended by this portentious axiom. For
example, because a man has lived in an
incorrigible state of inebriety, shall we
forsooth place the lying epitaph upon his
tombstone : “He had his faults, but who
has not ?” instead of the truth : “He
loved old rye, but that is nothing.”
If such a fallacious process of reason
ing were adhered to, there would be an
end to all history, and posterity would be
as ignorant of the present as we would
have been of the past. This by way of
explication to the ensuing paragraphs.
IS WARREN BUSH THE ASSASSIN ?
It is currently reported and generally
credited that one Warren S. Bush, a
quondam ally of Johnson’s in Columbia
county, and whom Johnson played false,
has written an epistle to the wife of the
dead Senator and another to the Sheriff
of Nassau county, dated Tampico, Mexi
co, in both of which lie acknowledges
himself to be the assassin and invites them
to catch him if they can. Bush further
more says that he murdered Johnson
because the defunct genius of that cog
nomen palmed a quantity of forged
scrip off upon his partner in villainy,
thereby inveigling him within the meshes
of the law, and afterwards caused him to
be indipted, tried and sentenced,
and that while he (Bush) was
languishing in prison the spot
less martyr indulged in a systematic at
tempt to corrupt his victim’s lawful wife.
OIBOUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
It is impossible, for various reasons, to
trace these letters, but I refer to the
story on account of its credibility. Bush
is said to answer exactly to the descrip
tion generally given of the individual
who rode the cream-colored mare by
Hart’s road on that eventful day, and he is
known to have suddenly disappeared from
Blackshear, Georgia, where he had been
residing about the time of the killing.
Perceive that to stigmatize the missing
felon with this crime would operate dis
astrously to the mercenary Radical dema
gogues and divest their infernal grotes
quely of one-half of its force. Bush was
the prince of scalawags, a co-conspirator
with the saintly Johnson, and at
one period the tried and trusted
friend of the Republican party
in this State. He fell from
his eminence through the treach
ery of his accomplice Johnson. Hence
were the opinion to obtain that he is re
sponsible for the assassination of his
whilom colleague it would defeat the
schemes of the blood-and-thunder mani
acs who are endeavoring to foist the crime
upon the Democracy as a premeditated
political murder.
MORE GONSIDEEATIONS.
Aside from these considerations War
ren S. Bush is beyond the reach of Florida
law, and it would indubitably be an
achievement calculated to puzzle the
inventive faculties of these desperate
rasoals to make two thousand dollars out
of him. Besides, let it be borne in mind
that he was a Radical of the deepest dye.
THE GBAND JURY.
The grand jury finally concluded the
examination of witnesses in the Richard
case this evening, but as the court has
taken a sail, the result of their delibera
tions will remain a secret until to-morrow.
They have, however, probably concluded
to ignore the bill. Banquo.
Febnandina, October 30, 1875.
NO BILL.
The grand jury of Nassau county this
morning formally brought m “not a true
bill” in open court, in the case of Harney
Richard. This relieves the sureties
of the defendant and leaves the
matter in abeyance, subject to the
action of any future grand jury.
The Radicals are discouraged at
their failure to indict Richard, but are
far from being dismayed, and will un
doubtedly secure a differently constituted
body of men for next term of court. The
same farce will be re-enacted with all of its
miserable concomitants, and an indict
ment is not among the impossibili
ties. The sinuosities of these deter
mined tragedians are illimitable, and their
manoeuvres numerous and complex.
There will, however, be a six months’
rest for their unfortunate victim and then
the reel will begin to unwind again.
BADICAL CHAGRIN.
The desperation of the conspirators
and chagrin at their temporary defeat
cannot be over estimated, and their elon
gated faces have assumed an almost ca
daverous cast. The loss of time and
money squandered in this ill-advised and
unseemly debauch will continue to de
press their souls for some months, and
even now they are inwardly cursing the
blunders and stultification of each other
in this detestable business. The “Jedge”
has grown red, and the balance of the
tribe have assumed a corpse-like hue.
Emmons was to be paid an additional fee
.of five hundred dollars for a conviction,
and he will be compelled to defer the
warm reception which he intended to
give that small sum of money.
So endeth the second lesson.

A Woman Butchered.— Kansas City,
Mo., October 26.—A colored girl named
Ann Holland died at the City Hospital in
this city, on Sunday last, under circum
stances which led a large number of peo
ple to think that all was not right. So
much was said about the matter that the
remains of the girl were taken from the
dissecting-room, and to-day & post-mortem
examination showed that a nefarious
operation had been committed, and that
the direct cause of the girl’s death was
the performance of said operation.

SAVANNAH MARKET.
weekly report.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,\
Tuesday, November 8, IS' 5, /
General Remarks.—The general trade of the
city the past week has been quiet, aud has un
dergone no material change either in tone or
price. The volume of business, though not
large, compares very favorably with the cor
responding sekson last year, and with former
years. Business through the interior has been
very satisfactory so far, notwithstanding the
hue and cry daring the early part of the season
of “bad crops and no money in the country.'
Merchants generally have been enabled to meet
their obligations more promptly this year than
for several years past, and the outlook at present
is very flattering. Jobbers report that their sales
have not been as large in volume as usual, but
has been much more satisfactory.
Cotton.—The market for spots has been very
quiet during the week, and prices remained un
changed from those given in our last report un
til yesterday, when an advance of %c. was ob
tained on all grades, and the market was firm.
To-day, however, the advance was lost under
dull advices from Liverpool and the absence of
advices from New York. The transactions for
the week have been quite large, and were gene
rally at full prices, as holders in most cases re
fused to sell below quotations. For a full under
standing of the market for the week we publish
below the daily remarks for each day. The mar

Sea Island.—The market for this Btaple has
been very quiet and the transactions small,owing
to the small stock and light receipts. The sales
were about 50 bales, at from 2S@34c. The
transactions so far this season do not war
rant our making quotations.
Tne receipts of cotton at this port for the past
week, from all sources, have been 29,730 bales
upland and 8S bales st island, against 33,662
bales upland and 245 bales sea island for the cor
responding date last year.
The particulars of the receipts have been as
follows : Per Central Railroad, 23,694 bales up
land; per Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, 4,194 bales
upland; per cirts, IC7 bales upland; per Augusta
steamers, 636 bales upland; per Florida steamers,
18 bales upland and 86 bales sea islacd; from Port
Royal, 955 bales upland; from Darien, 60 bales
upland and 2 bales sea island.
The *xports for the week have been 28,119
bales upland and 82 bales sea island, moving as
follows : To New York, 2,487 bales upland aud 9
bales sea island To Philadelphia, 850 bales up
land; to Boston, 1,364 bales upland; to Baltimore,
532 bales upland aud 33 si a island; to Reval, 7,760

to the inclemency of the weather and chiefly to

rather small. During the afternoon some sales

have been quiet, with sales of 200 bales for
November at 13 cents. Liverpool closed quiet

prices declined %c. Holders were unwilling to
accept lower than quoted prices, and buyers were
averse to paying them, hence we have had small
sales. Liverpool closed dull and unchanged
