The ClarkesviUe lyncyings call forth a Proclamation from tha Chief Executive of Georgia In regard to upholding the law. THESS O’NEIL OUT. He Is Allowed Ball and is a Free Maui Again. It in a fundamental principle in on organic law that “noperein sba.l be de* prived of life, liberty, or property, ex cept by due process of law.” This, Mippoited by the further constitutional provision, “protection to person and property ia the paramount duty of gov ernment, and shall be impartial and complete,” should make every citizen absolutely secure in bis rights guaran teed in the Constitution of the State. These rights I have sworn to defend, and so long as 1 continue in office I wili exert all the power the law confers upon me to secure to every citizen of the Slate, of whatever class or condition, the enjoyment of all the rights given him under the law. Under our peculiar social conditions, ne are liable to many and great crimi nal outrages, i cannot conceive, how ever, of any violation of law so outra geous as to justify setting aside the au thority of the State, in order to find suitable punishment to meet the ends of j usiice. This is especially true since, by an Act of the present General As sembly, the Supreme Court is required to give speedy bearing and determina tion in criminal cases, and to transmit promptly the remittitur to the clerk oi the court from which the writ of error was taken; and the Judge of said court shall then have full power, in term or vacation, to pass any order sentence oi judgment necessary to carry into execu tion the judgment of the Court. Then can now be no just complaint agains: delays in the law. '1 he laws of the state are ample foi the protection of the people; the courts aTe open for conviction, and the Execu tive stands ready at all times, to enforce the judgements of the courts against lawlessness and violence of any and al kinds. The killing of a citizen by a mob is deliberate murder, and the per petrators of tte crime should sutrer, at the handsof the couits, the propel penalty. Lynching is brutal, cruel am barbarous. I now call upon the peopli of this state, in the name of law and or der, to respond promptly to the sum icons of the officers of tne law for tin protection of citizens whose lives maj be threatened by a mob. We cannot af ford, in any case, however aggravated to justify the defiance of the law. The law provides that the sheriff, ii suppressing a mob, may summon to his assistance, either in writing or orally, nil the citizens of a neighborhood oi county. The acts of such posse shal be subject to the same protection ami consequences us official acts. The law further provides: “When ever any riot, outbreak, tumult, uiob or riot shall occur or be imminent, undei suen circumstances that timely appli •cation cannot be made to the Governor mil action had thereon Ly him, tb* Mayor of any city, town or village ii which Huy of said volunteer forces art Jocaied, ii he ascertains, or has goot re a, on to believe, that the ordinary posse comitatus or civil power of th« county, city, town or village when such violation of the laws and peace o this State occurs or appears imminent are or would be unable to promptly suppress or prevent the same, may, wunout first making application to tht Governor, direct the commander of each •company, or part of a company, of sait volunteer forces, in the county, or sa d city, town or village where such law lessness exists or is threatened, to call out, ai.d report with bis commond tc such civil officer,to enforce the laws am- preserve the peace, and it shall be the duty of such commander and all per sons composing such command to obey such order.” The honor of the State demands that the law le enforced, and that all citizent b- given a fair and impartial trial before the p.oper tribunal—the courts of the State. On the 18th of May, instant, .Tame- Redmond. Bob Addison and Gus Rob inson were securely con fined in th< common jail of Habersham county, ii the custody and urnfir the protection ol the law. They were forcibly taken from said jail and banged. These persons were believed to b» guilty of a murder recently committed in said county. They bad never been arraigned before any tribunal unde; such charge. They were merely cap tured and hurried to jail. During their first n ght in jail a mob seized and hanged them. The citizens of Habersham county have, in the past, sustained the reputa tion of being peaceable and law-abiding The Superior Court ef the county is presided over by an incorruptible and upngbt Judge The prosecuting officer has always been faithfnl to his duties and uniformly successful in bringing offenders to trial and punishment. The body of her people, represented by her juries, has uniformly shown a disposi tion to aid in giving adequate protection to life and property. The outrage committed upon the lives of these defenseless men is absolutely without excuse or palliation. I now call upon the people of Habersham county, first by their approving, sober, judgment; and, next, by their earnest and diligent efforts,to aid the executive in bringing these offenders to justice. In the execution of my purpose to se cure to every citizen of the State the enjoyment of all the rights guaranteed to him by the Constitution, 1 now direct that the Secretary of State record and issue a proclamation offering a reward of two hundred dollars each for the ar rest and delivery of the persons actively 1 in. ic paling in the murder of said per- >01.-, wi it pro- f sufficient to convict, to l l -ie ,-heriff «-f Habersham county. By the G verm-r, J. W. Wakrkn, S c Ex.D P’t. W. J.NOBTHKN, Governor Atlanta, May 23.—Thess O’Neil, the man who killed Joe Eugland, is out of jail on $1,000 bond, and, if indications amount to anything, the last has been heard of the matter. While sitting in his cell snrronuded by about twenty of his brethren of the brotherhood, Sheriff Morrow and Depu ty Sheriff Barnes entered and ordered the immediate release of O'Neil npon a bond of $1,000, which had been signed by Mr. W. M. Scott and Joshua O’Neil. This is, perhaps, the most remarkable case on record in any court, when the prosecuting attorney voluntarily ex presses the opinion before an action of the grand jury has been taken, that he believes he has no case against a man who has taken the life of another, and yet this is the status of the charge against Thess O’Neil. And one of the best prosecuting attorneys in Georgia has so expressed. The following is a copy of Judge Clark’s order:- WORK 0£FIENDS- OLD MAN SLOAN IN HIS murdered THE AGED WIFE ESCAPES * The English People Are (letting Herron* Over the Ma'.ter. London, May 24.—The London branch of the Imperial Federation League held a meeting at which several protection And Ran for Help—The Country. in a Fever of Excitement, and It WU1 Co Hard with the Murdereraif They are Caught. speeches were made.

Richard H. Clark, Judge, Superior Court, Presiding. Thursday May 23, 1892. Mr. Hill** Opinion. Under the judge’s order was the fol lowing: I have been carful to inquire into the facts of this case. I am very sure there is nothing like murder in the case, and I question whether the grand jury will fiud a bill for any offense. I think a bond of Cl ,000 will be ample in the case. As soon as it was known that O’Neal had been allowed bail a large nnmber of prominent citizens volunteered to sign bond, among the first of whom was Mr. Scott. Jackson, Ga., May 23.—Adam Sloan, nn old, respected citizen 6t McDonough, was shot by burglars Sunday night at nine o’clock, and is dying. He has been s-ck in bed three weeks. He was awak ened by a noise and asked who is there. The burglars replied with five shots one struck above the left nipple. His aged wife, who is nearly deaf, ran to ■ the nearest boose for' assistance. She re turned and fonnd her husband lying with his head on the floor and his feet on the bed, insensible. A satchel containing money was rifled bnt a book which contained money was not touched. Mr. Sloan is one of McDonough’s old est and most respected citizens, and the father of ex-Congressman Andrew Sloan of Savannah. The country is wild with excitement, and if the guilty party is canght Gov ernor Northen’s manifesto will not he worth a cent. A Ncjro Shouting Bee. Millen, Ga., May 23.—A shooting bee took place at Stillwell, Milen & Co.’s No. 1 mill, in Emanuel county, in which two negroes were shot, one fa tally. It seems that Juniper Williams came to Nelson Jackson’s house and at tempted to rule the roost, when the pocket artillery of both came into play, with the above result. Nelson is now in the city lockup. How McCotter Was Killed. Raleigh, May 23.—News received're- garding the assassination of Richard D. McCotter, one of the leading men of Palmetto county, has thrown light on the mysterious crime. McCotter was shot in the back of the head with a heavy charge of buckshot. The news now is that several men are concerned in the crime, that they lay in ambush, and that they are so suspected that ar rests will soon he made. McCotter sep arated from his wife twenty years ago, and he became intimate with another woman. Four years ago he received letter from white caps giving him warn ing. A few weeks ago he received other letters of the same tenor. Two Person* Burned to Death. Fairfield, Cal, May 23.—Fire here destroyed Joyces’ hotel and caused the loss of two lives. The building was frame, and so rapid was the progress of the flames that those inmates who es caped did so with great difficulty. Charles Bailey, Red Bluff, and James Linn, San Francisco, were burned to death. Bicycle* Against Time. Chicago, May 23.—General Miles is enthusiastic at the termination of the bicycle race against time. -He says it is only a question of time when they will be used _extensively to displace horsemen in the army to deliver dis patches on account of being such a small target for the enemy. Street Fight In Kkitlgh. Raleigh, N. C., May 23.—Late Sat urday night at New Berne, two men, Cicero Mason and William Farrow had a fight.

Melbourne, May 23.—Deeming was hanged at one minute past 10 o’clock. He appealed to the Victorian executive and to the British privy council for respite, bnt both refused to interfere, and accordingly he paid the full penalty of the law. Had he escaped justice in Australia he wonld have been taken to England where he would undoubtedly have been hanged for the Rainhill mur- ders. Deeming passed the Snnday in writ ing and calmly discussing at intervals his approaching doom. On Sunday night he thrice swallowed eagerly small allowances of spirits, af ter which he slept soundly until he was awakened at 7 o’clock in the morning. He declared that he was resigned to his fate and had no fears in regard to the future. To the governor of the prison he said that he had made peace with God. He persisted in denying he was guilty of the Rainbtll murders. He had never, he declared, lost his self-control in En gland as he had since bis arrival in Aus tralia. He expressed gratitude to the governor and all prison officials for the considera tion they had shown him and also to Mr. Lyle, his counsel, and to all con cerned in his defense. He said bethought he would not falter or make any scene on his ascension to the scaffold. A few moments before the time set for the execution of Deeming was al lowed a glass of brandy, which he swal lowed at one gulp. He was then led to the gffllows and in a few moments all was over. The drop was seven feet. The execution was witnessed by a large gathering, including government ana civil officials, magistrates, police and clergymen. _____ one of the speakers. He said that free trade might have been excellent for England, but os it was proving fatal to Canada, a policy of incidental taxation bad been adopted by Canada in 1878, which had been strongly conducive to the maintenance of her ties with Great Britain. If England, continued the speaker, adopted a small protective, non discriminating tariff, no countrv wonld complain. Cobdeu’s theory that all conntrie8 wonld speedily follow Eng land’s example by adopting free trade had proved fallacious. Sir Charles did not believe that Cobden would be a free trader if he lived to lay. In conclusion he said that Canada could produce of all the fool that the United States now ex ports to Great Britain. Another speaker. Mr. Beckel, said that Lord Salisbury had struck the right note in declaring that free trade had gone to far. He advocated a plan to appease Canada bv taxing all rival un rated Sta A New Scheme In Alabama. Birmingham, May 23.—The Kolb peo ple have taken a new tack, and are moving heaven and earth to bring a compromise by which Kolb will not be wholly shut out. Their latest project is to nominate Governor Jones for ciiief justice of the.supreme conrt, and Kolb for his old place as commissioner of ag riculture, bringing in some entirely new man for governor. A great many Jones men favor some such plan in order to harmonize the party, bnt as Jones has won the convention after a terribly hard struggle, it will rest wholly with him to offer or reject any compromise. The toveruor has given forth no sign of being willing. A Train Wrecker Arrested. Atlanta, May 23.—Andy Walker, a negro, has been arrested by patrolman Meliaffey at the request of Mr. A. Gim- bell of Montgomery, Ala. Mr. Gimbell says he has evidence which will convict Walker of wreckiug a train near Bolton, on the Western aud Atlantic road about five months ago. Walker was sent to jail, and will be held to await the action of the grand jury. At the time of the wreck officials of the road offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the-parties who caused it. AGAINST FREE TRADE. AFTER WEEMS.

' Weems was sent from here to Nash ville last Thursday to escape lynching. | Mobs have gathered in every town to [ which he was taken, and Memphis, Knoxville and Nashville refuse to' let him stay in their jails. So he was sent back. He will be lynched unless the sheriff outwits the mob. G Hj||E0R9IV.

Tanner, who has 2,000 hearing trees on his farm, says that an examination of them showed bnt few apples, most of the genns being withered, yellow aitd ready to fail off.
