A case of considerable interest to the Bar
and others in attendance was disposed of:
J. D. Poisson et al. pi. Priscilla Stith and
Josephine Stlth—statutory action for land.
The plaintiffs brought suit to recover pos
session of a lot of laud on Ellis street, in
this city, alleged to be in possession of the
defendants, who had enjoyed the use and
profits thereof since 1849, and in which
plaintiffs claimed title. The defendants,
who are colored persons, claimed title by
prescription, having been in possession for
more than twenty years, anti one of the de
fendants (Priscilla tStith) having had peace
able possession of the premises since 1815,
the property having been given to her at
that time bj r Dr. Louis Poisson, the father
of the plaintiffs. Tire evidence developed
that although the defendant (Priscilla
Stith) was reared a free woman, her mother
was a slave.
Judge Gibson charged the jury that if
the mother of the defendant was a slave,
«he (Priscilla) was a slave, and as such
could not hold property ; that whatever
was hers was the property of her master,
and that title by prescription, under such
circumstance's, would not run in favor of
the defendants.
The counsel for the defease held that the
defendant, having been set free previous to
the act of the Legislature forbidding eman
cipation of slaves, was in law a free person ;
and that having possession of the property
previous to the act of 1818, forbidding free
persons of color from holding real estate,
and the act of 1819 having expressly ex
cluded persons of that class from the
operations of the former statute, she could
legally hold property. On this point the
Judge charged the jury that there must be
evidence of that fact, such as a deed of
manumission, and in the absence of such
evidence defendant must still be considered
■n disabled from holding property up to
the final emancipation of slaves in 1865.
Under the charge of the Conrt, the jury
retorued a verdict for the plaintiffs, although
the jeneral feelings and sympathies of those
In attendance were evidently with the de
fendants. The case occupied the attention
of the court until 2 o’clock, p. m. Messrs.
McLnws <& Ganahl appeared for the plain
tiffs and Col. Claiborne Snead for the de
fendants. We understand that the counsel
for the defense contemplates moving for a
new trial.
One other case—Henry Jones, assignee,
fit. D. L. Curtis—.was commenced and prose
cuted until ft o’clock, when court adjourned
to meet at 8:30 o’clock this morning.
Revision of the Jury Box.—The Board
of Commissioners met at the office of the
Ordinary yesterday morning, and pro
gressed with the compilation of the new
mrv list from the county tax digest to the
letter L. Their duties will be continued
to-day. One of the rules adopted by the
Board excludes all professional gamblers,
white or black, from jury duty.
A Fine Collection of Medals and
Coins. —Through the courtesy of Messrs.
F A. Brahe & Cos., we enjoyed the pleasure
yesterday of an inspection of their fine col
lection of rare medals and coins of different
nations, the former commemorative of dis
tinguished Americans and Europeans, and
of historical events of the past. Many of
them are of exquisite taste and workman
ship, and as mementoes of the men and times
of the past, possess a value far beyond their
intrinsic worth. There are a number of
the recent war medals and coins, which
have been collected under great difficulty,
and are at once curious and interesting as
a part of the history of that struggle.
Among the collections of coins of different
nations we observed a number of Roman
silver shekels, more than sixteen hundred
years old, and numerous specimens of the
diminutive coinage of Germany, Frauce,
etc., forming altogether a collection rarely
to be met with in this section of the coun
try, and which has required the work of
years to bring to its present standard.
The Columbus Fair. —We have receiv
ed the premium list of the Fair of the Co
lumbus Industrial Association, to be held
'a Columbus, commencing on the Ist of
November, and to continue live days.
Among the attractions arranged for the
week are : An address on the first day, ex
hibition of live stock) a mule race, shooting
watch at birds, plowing matches, etc. The
Society has offered liberal premiums, em
bracing nearly everything valuable in
a ftricultural and mechanical industry, art,
lienee and taste. A number of citizens
have offered liberal special premiums, and
Ihe exhibition promises to be a fall suc-
The premium list will be furnished
° n application to John F. Iverson, Secreta
ry, at Columbus.
Macon and Augusta Railroad.— The
grading of this road is aboqt completed.
Messrs. Grant, Alexander & Cos. have flu*
whed their contract and are transferring
the convicts to the Brunswick and Albany
Road. Over one hundred left Monday, and
others are to follow soon.
Released. —John Jennings, committed
lail about ten days ago, on a charge of
lunacy preferred by his wife, was ordered
10 be discharged yesterday by Judge Levy,
hnder the application of Mrs. JenniDgs,
wpon the settlement of his board bill with
out cost to the county.
A New Colored Baptist Church.-
The colored Baptists of the city are now
endeavoring to secure contributions from
our citizens to enable them to erect a house
of worship on Walton street, on the lot re
cently donated for that purpose by the
City Council. Henry Johnson, one of the
deacons, was yesterday circulating an ap
peal, which we are glad to note was gener
ously responded to by a number of our
citizens. There is yet, however, opportu
nity for the liberality of other citizens to
aid this Christian undertaking, which
should receive the sanction and encourage
ment of the entire community. The build
ing will be commenced to-day, and is to lie
known as the Macedonian Church.
The Southern Atlantic Telegraph
Company.— This new telegraph company,
which for some weeks past has been spread
ing its wings from the extreme Northern
frontier southwards, has reached Charles
ton, and Mr. David O’Keefe, the well
known telegraphist, has secured the con
tract for building the line between the
cities of Charleston, Augusta and Colum
bia. Mr. O’Keefe has surveyed the route
to Summerville, and staked out the dis
tances of his posts, which he will put in
position in a day or two. The new line
under Mr. O'Keefe’s management, is ex
pected to be in operation by the 15th of
August.
New Floor. —We notice iu the St. Louis
Ttepubliran, of the Bth Instant, an account
of the sale of new flour from the mills of
Messrs. John M. Clark & Cos., of Augusta,
at the rate of SIOO per barrel. The same
firm sent the first new flour to New York,
but it sold at only sl2 per barrel. The
marked difference in the prices is owing to
the fact that a premium was paid on the
St. Louis consignment as a mark of appre
ciation of Georgia farmers and Georgia
millers.
Census Enumeration of Youth.— The
superintendent of the census has deemed it
expedient, by a special circular, to call the
attention of marshals and assistant mar
shals to the rules which are to govern in
the enumeration of youth absent from their
homes for the purposes of education These
will be enumerated at the college, academy,
or other Institution al which they lodge
and board, and not at their family home,
as heretofore.
Recorder’s Court.— The following cases
were disposed of yesterday morning :
Alfred Scott (colored), for violation of
the 18th section. Plead not guilty. Found
guilty, and fined $5 and cost.
Tom Corcoran (colored), for violation of
the 6th section—disorderly driving. Dis
missed, on payment of cost.
Completed.— The new bridge of the Ma
con and Augusta Railroad, which spans
the Ocmulgee river, is now about com
pleted. It is represented as an excellent
and most substantial piece of mechanism,
which will reflect credit for many years to
come upon its energetic and accomplished
builders—Wilkins & Brothers.
Father Ryan.—We see it stated that
Rev. Father Ryan, “ Moina,” one of the fa
vorite poets of the South, will make Mo
bile his future home. He has been receiv
ed into the Diocese of Mobile by the Right
Rev. Bishop Quinlan.
Steamer Hard Times. —Under order of
the Health Committee, this boat was yes
terday ordered to be removed from its for
mer position beyond the corporate limits
of the city, as a precautionary sanitary
measure.
Remember, the Bargains offered by
Bailie & Brother continue only two
weeks; if you have not secured a bargain
in a good Carpet at a very low price, go at
once and get one. • je!4-2
Tobacco Fatr. —A great tobacco fair
will lie held at Clarksville, Tennessee, on
the 15th mst, at which premiums for the
best leaf tobacco will 'hi awarded amount
ing to $3,000. There is no restriction as to
the locality from which the tobacco comes.
Discharged.— A colored man named
John Her.ry Hill, committed to jiii some
weeks airo on a charge of lunacy, was
brought out before Judge Levy yesterday,
and, after examination, discharged.
Save Double Taxation.— Mr. Mat.
Sheron, Tax Receiver, gives notice that
those who have failed to make returns will
have until the 25th to save themselves
double State and county taxation.
River News.— There were no arrivals
or departures of boats yesterday. The
river, at 3, p. m., registered 8 feet 11 inches
at the city bridge, indicating a fall since
last report.
Punishment for Gambling at Fairs
The laws of Indiana, backed up by a de
cision of the Supreme Court, place all who
participate in that species of gambling
usually carried ou at church and charity
fairs on the same footing as lottery gam
blers. They are all liable to heavy penal
ties—fines and imprisonment.
Codifying the Laws of the United
States. — Victor C. Barriuger, Esq., of
North Carolina. Judge James, of Ohio,
and Benjamin V- Abbott, of New York,
have been appointed anew commission to
codify the laws of the United States, the
salary to be $5,000 a year, stationery,

A CLERGYMAN (Rev. J. McMURRAY)
writing from Halifax, N. 8., gays: “Having
suffered several years with throat affection, to
which elergvmen art especially subject, and
having used various remedies, I have pleasure
in giviug my testimony as to the relief 1 have
had in the discharge of my Sabbath labors from
the use of ‘ Brown's Bronchial Troches .’ They
have been a great coinfoit. Others io whom I
have recommended them have used them with

The Death of Pleasant Goode. —This
community and State at large (says the Co
lumbia Phanix, of the 14th instant,) will
learn, with deep interest, of the death of
Pleasant Goode, He was the serving man
and friend of General Maxcy Gregr;. He
was attached to him in life, an 1 remained
true to General G.’s memory after death.
The most conspicuous elements in Peas
ant’s character were his personal integrity,
his firmness and his fidelity. In the"po
litical divisions that arose in this State,
Pleasant Goode deemed It his duty to re
pose confidence in the native whites of
South Carolina, and to cast in his lot with
theirs. He was “a Democrat ” in his par
ty relations, and he continued so to the end.
He never turned his back upon either his
principles or his associates. Nor was he
unfaithful to his own race. His idea was
that the whites of South Carolina would do
his race justice, aod he had faith iu the
people with whom he had been reared and
with whom he was to live. He had to
bear much odium and vituperation, but he
stood up bravely for his views, and an
humble man though he was, we do not
hesitate to declare that he set an example
which many men, more j»retentious, might
well imitate. In the canvass of 1868 Pleas
ant Goode did the best service of which he
was capable, and he was capable of good,
sound and earnest speech. We do uotdeuy
that he had frailties. We know that lie
had many good qualities. In this commu
nity Pleasant Goode had numerous frieuds,
both among the whites and colored. Here
he was much esteemed for his kindly, re
liable and accommodating spirit. Pleasant
Goode had been for some time sick. In his
sickness his white aud colored friends visit
ed him, and the Gregg family gave him that
care and consideration due to one who had
been so true and faithful in peace and in
war. Pleasant died on yesterday, at the
residence of Thomas E. Gregg, Esq., of this
city.
White Pall-Beakers Attend a Color
ed Man’s Funeral.— The Columbia (8. C-V
Guardian , in noticing the funeral cere
monies df Pleasant Goode, the faithful
servant of Gen. Maxcy Gregg, says :
The funeral services of this respected
colored man, whose death we announced
yesterday, were held in Trinity Church
yesterday afternoon, at four o’clock. There
was a large concourse of white and colored
people assembled to pay a last tribute of
respect to the faithful servant and friend.
The pall-bearers were Col. F. W. McMastor.
Col. Wm. Wallace, Col. A.C. Haskell, Prof.
Laßorde, Col. J P. Thomas, Capt. John.
Waties, Mr. Gregg and Mr. Walter Fisher.
Pleasant Goode had been for a long while
sexton of Trinity Church, and in that
capacity exhibited that prompt attention
to duty and that unswerving fidelity which
characterized him in other spheres of life.

Railroad Meeting in Butts —Onr
Butts county friends appear determined to
have a railroad of some sort, and are bend
ing all their energies in that direction. A
citizens’ meeting was held in Jackson on
the 4th instant to take into consideration
the practicability of building a railroad
from Madison to Griffin, by way or Monti
ceilo and Jackson, by concert of action
with the citizens of Morgan, Jasper ano
Spalding counties, and with the Directors
of the Georgia Railroad.
Addresses were delivered by Rev. John
Goodman and others, and the meeting
throughout was of the most harmonious
character.
A committee, consisting of 11. B. Fletch
er, J. W. McCord, J. It Lyons, 11. N.
Byars and It. C. Allen, was appointed to
confer with committees from Madison,
Monticello and Grifflu.
It was unanimously agreed that the
county of Butts subscribe $200,000 to the
building of the road. —Monroe Advertiser.
The Steamer Plato Stranded. —The
steamer Plato, Captain Copes, left this city
on Saturday last, having in tow some twen
ty flats which she was taking to Bull river
to be used as phosphate carriers. On the
passage she was detained in North Kdisto
inlet, the wind, at the time, blowing strong
from South-Southwest. On Sunday night,
about 10 o’clock, while laying at. anchor,
she began to drag, and soon after fetching
up suddenly, she parted her chain, which
was attached to the heaviest anchor. The
other was soon let go, and attempts made
to get up steam, this having been blown
off to repair, a leak in the boilers, but the
wind continuing heavy she was forced
ashore on the south end of Seabrook’s
Island. When the flood tide came in, a
heavy sea accompanied it and the Plato
was so badly strained as to become a wreck.
[Charleston News.
Returned— Col. Nelson Tift returned
from Washington City on Saturday last, in
flue health, and somewhat hopeful of the
situation. He thinks if Butler can lie
forced to report the Georgia bill, as in
structed by the committee, the State will
be admitted, with a guarantee of an election
next Fall, under her constitution.
Butler, however, is maneeuvering to stave
off action this scssiou, so that Bullock and
the military may be permitted to prevent
an e'ectiou at the time prescribed in the
constitution.
The Colonel thinks that a gradual change
is going on in the minds of Congressmen,
and that Georgia is gaining friends. Bul
lock has been thoroughly exposed, and has
no friends except those whose adherence
to his cause yields a revenue
[Albany Mews
Another Outrage.— There is a rumor
afloat to the effect that the United States
mail was forcibly detained at the head
quarters of the Spanish authorities at Ha
vana, a few days since, and that Admiral
Porter’s demand for it, as also for his own
mail, personally, was peremptorily refused
by the Captain General. It is supposed
that correspondence generally was over
hauled, and the mutilated mail bags thrown
to the volunteers.
If onr Government does not resent this
insult, it is not improbable that Admiral
Porter will resign his commission. Well,
it is a relief to know that insult and degra
dation can go no farther. Onr iron-ciads
are lolling idly upon the waves, and the
yawning big guns are mute in their port
holes; nothing will be done. Nothiug.
[Key Went Dispatch, 4 111.
Threats. —A lady yesterday heard six
negroes in conversation near her window.
They declared that Gen. Clanton should
not live, and mentioned a certain negro who
would do away with him- These negroes
and their white leaders would do well to un
derstand that if Gen. Clanton or any other
white Democrat in this city is assassinat
ed, their lives will pay the forfeit. The
whites of Montgomery have endured as
muchjas they intend to endure from the
negro leagues, militia, and their white in
stigators.—Montgomery Mail, 14/A.
Billiards —The Macon Journal says :
During the play of an accidental game of
billiards yesterday, in the billiard room of
the Spotswood Hotel, Mr. Ben. Tntt.of
this city, made a single run of 2,001. Com
pletely exhausted, he left the table, and the
lookers on decided that the balls were in
as near the same position they were at the
commencement of the play, as it was possi
ble to judge. Tl)e feat was accomplished
on a four pocket table. This was not a
play for championship, or on a bet, or Ben
might have scored a thousand or two more.

WASHINGTON.
Washington, June 15—Noon.—The
Cuban discussion last night, was violent.
Several Republicans attacked Grant’s mes
sage. It was denounced asan improper in
terference with pending legislation.
The Judiciary Committee heard several
witnesses in the Porter ®s. Woods case.—
testified that Woods met him on the
street in Richmond while Porter was on his
way to his house to proceed thence to
Washington. Woods accosted Porter in a
friendly manner, and asked Porter to drink.
Porter refused, when Woods struck Porter,
knocking him partially senseless. All this
occurred while Porter was absent from his
seat ou leave of absence, and occurred five
days before his leave of absence from the
House expired. Humphreys corroborated
Porter's statement, and believed Woods
used brass knuckles. The committee meets
again at half past seven to-night.
The House Committee of Ways aud
Means reported a bill relieving coal from
duty. Referred to committee of the whole.
It excludes coal traffic, both home and
abroad, from all kind of taxation, whether
tariff, stamp, iucome or tonnage, and makes
a clear sweep of revenue from the coal trade.
The bill, after some discussion, was recom
mitted to the Ways and Means Committee,
the minority claiming that the bill was
not In accordance with instructions of the
House, and insisting that had a full com
mittee been present, a different bill would
have been reported.
The Senate is considering the bill grant
ing lands to the Great Southern Railroad.
The Florida bill will pass to-day.
Washington, June 15—P. M.—Revenue
to-day nearly $1,250,000.
The freedmen’s corruption investigation
has closed. The committee will carefully
overhaul the evidence, which will probablv
take the balance of the. session. The case
was closed with a long statement by chief
functionary Howard.
Admiral Lee succeeds Poor in command
of the North Atlantic squadron, with head
quarters in Cuban waters.
In the Senate, New York ship owners
protest against granting American regis
ters to foreign built ships. Among the pro
testants are Moses Taylor and Cornelius
Vanderbilt.
The bill granting land to a Florida rail
road passed.
A bill was introduced constraining the
North Pacific Road from contracting obli
gations beyond $50,000,000.
The abolition of the franking privilege
w s discussed to recess.
The Seuate is in session to-night.
In the House, the currency bi’l was con
sidered. It was the Ist, 2d, 10th and lltli
sections of the bill, which was lost a few
days since, and provides : Ist. For the is
suing of $95,000,000 National Bank notes;
2d. Caucels $45,500,000 three per cents and
$39,500,000 of greenbacks ; 3d. Takes $25,-
000 000 from the States having an excess
an 1 distributes it West and South, but not
until after the $95,000,000 have been issued;
the 4th section allows a bank in a State
having an excess to remove to a State in
deficiency, taking with it its capital, circu
lation, «sec. An amendment forbidding the
cancellation of greenbacks was adopted by
72 to 44. The bill finally, after rejection of
many amendments, passed by 96 to 81 and
goes to the Senate.
The debate in the House on the Cuban
resolutions was to-day exciting and more
than heretofore animated, especially be
tween Butler, of Massachusetts, and Logan,
the former opposing the declaration of
belligerency aud the latter advocating it.
Bingham offered an amend to one of
the sections, which he submit as
a substitute.
The previous question was seconded and
that presented anew phase of the matter,
bringing up the question as unfinished
business to-morrow.
The House adjourned after a session of
eight hours. No one presumes to know the
result of to morrow’s proceedings, both
sides being very stern in their respective
positions.
Banks yesterday intimated that General
Caleb Cushing wrote part of the President’s
Cuban Message, but this is altogether a
mistake, that gentleman having nothing
whatever to do with it. No one outside of
the Executive Department had any knowl
edge of the Message being prepared until
the document, itself was transmitted to
Congress. The President to-day said that
while he sympathized with the Cubans and
all peoples struggling for independence, he
would not be controlled by his mere feel
ings or sympathies, but would, in dealing
with foreign powers, respect treaties, and,
as the Executive, laithfully carry out the
laws and uphold and defend the Constitu
tion.
Bingham’s amendment, authorizes the
President to use his good offices in re
storing peaee between the Cubans and
Spaniards, it is thought this will prevail
as a compromise.
The Senate to-night discussed franking.
There was no Executive sessiou to-day.
The following is the text of Bingham’s
compromise: Resolved. That, the President
is hereby authorized to remonstrate against
the barbarous manner in which the war in
Cuba has been conducted, and, if he shall
deem it expedient, to solicit the co-opera
tion of other governments in such manner
as he may deem necessary to secure from
both the contending parties an observance
of the laws of war recognized by all civil
ized nations.

leave the subject to ecclesiastical authori
ties. The revision of the Bible was of
dubious utility, tedious and untimely. At
length the motion was withdrawn and soon
after the House adjourned.
In the House of Lords last night, Gran
ville moved a second reading of the Irish
land bill. He said, refraining from parti
san topics, he would simply demonstrate
the necessity for this legislation. The law,
as It stood, was confessedly unsatisfactory.
Tenure of land in Ireland was insecure,
and abrubt evictions, without compensa
tion for improvements, were common.—
Landlords had their grievances too. Rents
were lower and their payments less cer
tain in Ireland than in any other country
in Europe, while the iuterest on bonds and
mortgages was greater. He relerred to
difficulties landlords had with their tenants
and the outrages which resulted, and an
alyzed previous attempts at legislation on
the subject. A final settlement was now
sought for. It had been impossible hither
to, but now it was possible, and he pro
ceeded to show that the tendency the
present scheme was to produce prosperity,
order and peace.
Richmond denied that there was neces
sity for the bill, and read a number of let
ters to prove that laud lords were all gen
tleness and consideration ; exceptions were
possible, but too few to warrant present
legislation. After urgiug t%her objections,
the noble lord said he should not oppose
the measure for fear worse would follow its
rejection, but he hoped certain amendments
wlucli he suggested would be adopted.
Bussell advocated its passage without
further amendments.
Dufferin said large landlords defeated the
provisions as they stood, and he deprecated
any alteration.
Salisbury spoke against, and Kimberly
for the bill.
Lord Monck supported the measure in
general, but took exception to some details.
Without action, the Lords adjourned.
Paris, June 15.—A meeting of members
ol the Left Uenu'*party in the Corps Legis
latif, called to take action on the St. Goth
anl Railroad, after an interchange of views,
decided, not to opjxise its construction,
which is joint undertaking of Prussia,
Baden, Switzerland and Bavaria, but to re
quest the French Government also to take
an interest in the railway.
It is reported on good authority that the
Princess of Orleans ad vances 600,000 francs
to purchase the Gallo-Romau Amphitheatre,
recently discovered in Rue Monge, in this
city, which the Government had refused to
buy.
