As to the article of grand jurors, I can only say that I suppose that the grand juror* who wrote the article will notice it when they read the card in this issue if they wish to explain more fully. As to the Edi torial notice in the same issue, in refereuce to extra pay to county offi cers. It was done in defence of that noble old Christian gentlemen, l\ M. Compton, whom everybody in this county looks upon with rever ence, and whenever anybody at tempts to assail the character of the honorable gentleman who now fills the position of Ordinary, we will do the same in his defence. In the mean time the Argus stands ready at all times to be corrected and will appologize for any error that may do a seemingly wrong to any one, to do justice to all, and assail none, but defend the wronged is our mis sion.

Whepevei a case is present ! shall dispose of it as promptly as the law will allow. I! shall while correcting uninten tional wrong, take occasions to no-’ tice an article in your issue of the 14th July headed “Extra pay to County Officers”, and signed “Ju rors'’ in Jurors plate “thatj they did not in their general pre sentments intend for the Ordinary to bring suit for the recovery of said extra pay, but only dissented from the precendent of former grand Jurors in their recommendation of “extra pay from general funds.” As to extra pay, the act of the legisla ture approyed 2nd March 1874 takes tl,ie.power from the grand ju- ■ ry, and takes up by the roots the evil practice of allowing extra com-, pensatkms to Officers. What did the whole grand jury say when ‘they had examined into the disbursements through their committee, ‘‘We find.the acts of. the fdrruer Ordinary in our opin ion erroneous, in the follow, viz: Sundry payments made by order of Ordinary to the clerk and sheriff as compensation for extra services,* and also to the same officers and Justice, of the Peace their insolvent cost from the general fund, winch in our opinion is* 4 contrary to law and we thereforo recommend'that the Or dinary take such steps as in his judgement may seem best for an in vestigation of dfiie same-] Did the grand jury intend to mean what ju rors would ■ ofwakjfiOffieiieye ! ’ Cer tainly not. If so, they would have simply- recommended that ! such payments'cease. 1 > * **'•■•*• * ‘ What did‘they mean ,by saying the present Ordinary should inves tigate the matter? Is there* any in vestigation 3 that can be had by the Ordinary except a legal ihvfestiga tion, ’ 4 "' * There is a considerable amount to the county involved, and it is a matter of importance, to every tax payer in the county. Permit me to say that l ath a ’ friend of the officers, but this not V matter 6f friendship but one of official ’ duty, and when duty demands I must act. Respectfully, J. F. Carmichael, Ordinary. ALB ALONG THE lINE. ' 4 * REINFORCEMENTS COMING IN. * * ' # * Every day brings new forces to nhe work on the extension and the engagement is now becoming’ gen eral along the line, all day and at intervals during the night the rum ble of wagon and the whooping of the teamster may be heard, and as they move up and file into their po sition on the line it reminds us of the days of “Yore,” when the pick, ax, and spade could be heard all night, building lortificatiqiis. There is now three well organised corps at work near this Place. Messrs. Brannan A Lindsey, are working with a good force between Jackson and this place, and bas about one mile graded. Messrs AJaddox and Sheahan, am at work with a good force near Mr. Wiley Heard’s resi dence east of the Spring and Mr. Costello of the firm of Condon A Ctympany is two. miles further down the line at work near fhe residence of Isaac Nolen, tfii ß force wi 11 be the largest on the line when fully organized. Messrs. Williams and Miller are working at Dublin with about for ty hands. * Col. McCracken super-intendant of construction was looking over this part of the line on Monday and visited the Ocmulgee Mills for the practicability of running a canal from the shoals to the railroad at Major Wards for manufacturing purposes. There has been no developments made yet as to the survey with a view to getting nearer this town, ene preliminary survey has been made and several others contemplated, in the mean time our people may rest ■ well assured that the officials will do aP that justice to themselves will admit to accomodate ue. Some of the ‘'doubting Thomases” begin to give in and %av, ‘*l believe they really intend to build the road!” while others shake their head and say I don't believe it yet. The Irwinton Southerner and Appeal relates that several years ago a man by tiie name of Arnold gave his son Charlie to Col. J. 1). Jones, of Jeffersonville to raise. The little fellow remained with Col, Jones, was kindly treated and apparentlv satisfied until some time this spring. Our informant says that Charlie had given some indications of a desire to run away previously, and about tITO months ago disappeared. As he was sonic sixteen or seven teen years old, it was supposed he wanted to iscck his fortune in the | world, and, nothing being heard of him. Col Jones supposed that he trrrf distance, and made no further effort to get him back. But a sad sequel to his leaving home was discovered last week by some of the boys in the neighborhood while hunting. In the woods at no, great distance, the bonps of human skeleton were found upon the ground, while a rope was dangling from above. By the re. mnants of clothing and the hat, the bai;e bones were indentified as those of poor Charlie Arnold. If it was a case of suicide, what was the cause? If murder, what prompted the' deed? It is one of those sad occurrences that, will never be fully explained. . i. ■- GUITEAU GRABBED. JUST IN TIME TO PREVENT MUR DER. THE ASSASSIN ASSAULTS A GUARD AND TRIES TO CUT HIS THROAT, BUT , IS DISARMED STARTLING scene IN JAIL. Washington Critic*.] The news of the Presindent’s crit ical condition gave rise to a num ber of rumors at the jail yesterday, increased by the fact that early fast evening the guard was doubled and military drill was held in the ro tund, the noise of which awoke Gui teau to a state of- feverish excite ment. He paced his cell and in quired anxiously for news from the President. A' rumor reached the jail late in the evening that the President was dying, and it was sup posed-that Guiteau heard it. He was observed to climb up to a win dow" ip his cell and* imother ways showed great excitement: l 1 Mr. \V. C. McGill, who has charge of the alternate nights, visited the cell several times, and coming to the conclusion that Guitcavr had heard from some of the prisoners the, alarming tumors, lie watched him with unusual care. * Several times Mr.-McGill observed Guiteau cling ing •to the iron 'bar * o‘f his window, and the idea that the prisoner might be attempting 1 fo- hang himself, prompted the- guard” to visit the cell %b.out half-past four in the morning. Mr. McGill, upon open ing the cell, found that Guiteau was concealing something in his hand, and determining that it was a kiiife, said: “What are you doing with that'knife?” Guiteau looked lip excitedly and cried : “So" help me God; l have no knife.” Mr. McGill insisted that he - had, and stepped toward‘the prisoner, whefi Guiteau sprang up and rushed at him fu riously and made a savage cut at his throat. McGill drew back, and passed through his coat collar, cutting off the tipper button and making a clean cut on the shoul der. The guard drew his revolver without cocking it, but finding him self unable to disarm his assailknt, he finally cocked the revolver, when — j • —i Guiteau dropped his knife and grasped the more formidable weap on, crying’for Kelp and calling that he was being shot.' The pis tol was accidentally discharged and several guards rushed to 'the cell, when Guiteau was disarmed. The as sassin stated to the guards that he was acting in self-defense, and that McGill had attempted to shoot him. The question as to how Guiteau obtained the knife is genearlly ex plained by the fact that ‘Babe” Bedford once occupied the cell, and that several similar instruments had been, concealed by that criminal. The knife is what is generally know by prisoner as a “che.eser,” and is a criminal substitute fo,r a jack-knife razor and dagger. It is made out of the piece of steel found in the sole of a boot, which can be sharpened on a stone or window sill until it becomes exceedingly keen. The blade is generally about two or three inches long and half an jneli broad, and an inch or more is left unsharpened and wrapped in ; rags or paper for a handle. These instruments are used by persons for various purposes. They are confis catedf* by jailers whenever they are found. It is also considered pos sible that some other prisoner has in some way left the knife where -Guiteau could get it. The assassin considers his escape very fortunate, and when the guard 3aid in his presence that he had thought the pistol shot had settled the dog, he replied : “My dear sir that is too important a subject for joking; a life is valuable.” This startling episode created in- tense excitement at the jail. Mr. McGill, the guard told a Critic re porter this morning that he sup posed Guiteau thought the Presi was dead, and took this means of proving his insanity most conclu sively. The guard who was attack ed is a heavy built man, of kind and pleasant manner, and against whom personally Guitoau could have had no bitter feeling. The success of the planlo kill the guard would not have giren Guiteau any chance to escape, and so that motive could not have prompted the deed. TERRELL’S TRIPLE TRAGEDY. FULL PARTICULARS OF THE AFFAIR — CAPTURE OF THE MURDERER. The recital of the facts connect ed with the murderer of Mr. Daniel Lee, his wife and servant in Ter- Tell county, was received "by tne people of Macon yesterday with horror. Hopes that the canture and punishment of the fiend woult be swift were expressed on all sides. Such a cool, bold and devilish out rage in this country has never come beneath our notice. From the Albany News and Ainericus Re corder we. obtain two accounts pub lished below; It'appears, from the statement made by the colored girl, the on ly witness and survivor of the ter rible tragedy, that on Tuesday even ing last when approaching dark, a negro man named Frank Hudson, well bwown in the neighborhood,, where he has lived ami worked for a numhermf years past, came up to the house-of Mr. Lee and informed him that his fence, about three hundred yards distant lrom the house, was on fire. Mr. Lee went off at once, accompanied by the ne gro*, to extinguish the ilames. He was seen no more alive. IJis dead body was found early the next morn ing. lying by* the side, of the par- tiqrfly burned fence, with marks of terrible wounds and blows about the head, made ivitli fence rail. La-' ter in the night the negro Hudson' again appeared at the house and asked Mrs. Lee to get him some supper. Mrs. Lee, who was about to retire for the night, told him he was too late and could not get none. According to the girl’s statement, her-’ then struck Mrs-. Lee a heavy blow with an axe lie had in his hand on the head, killing her in stantly. He then passed from Mrs. Lee’s room into an adjoining room where the girl was; Whom he like wise struck dowirwith the axe, and then made his J way into another department where the negro vvo- nitfn, the coolc fOr the family, was sideping. Her he brained Ivith the axe and killed 1 instantly, while asleep. By this time the girl—she is only some 1 twelve or thirteen' years of agd—had recovered sufli- ' cidntly to crawl into Mrs. Bed’s room and hide herself under the bed: The fiend returned, and dis covering her hiding-place dragged her out, and, as she states, beat her terribly. He then began a search for money, breaking open, drawers, afcc., and succeeded, it is thought, in feecurihg between fiye and six hun dred dollars in money. After his departure, the little girl managed to make her Way fo the nearest neigh bor’s house, about two miles dis tant, and -reported the facts as above We leafn that she now lies in a very precarious 4 condition, and is not ex pected to Yecover. * * * * The servant girl said that he came into the room where herself and the other girl lay to count the money, having a light in his hand. Attracted by some noise while coun ting, lie saw that she was not asleep. He struck “her with an axe, when she sprang out of the room and ran under the bed of Mrs. Lee Lee. Frank killed the sleeping girl by a blow upon *he head. He went in search and drew the other from un der the bed by the heels and gave her a blow which he supposed did the desired work. Her cheek bone was broken and shoulders mutila ted. About 7 o’clock the next morn- ing consciousness returned, when the girl got up. and went out. She was met' by a man named Lee, a kinsman qf David Lee. She told him what had befallen the other girl and herself. The dead body of Mrs. Lee was soon found lying on the front steps. The alarm was given, and search made for. Mr. Lee. whose body was found a hundred or two yards from the house. A fence rq.il was close by with liia hair upon it, which indicates the manner of his death. Two hundred men and bpys were on the hunt for Frank Hudson yesterday, who up to this writing has not been arrest ed. About five hundred dollars in greenbacks are missing. There was gold and silver in the trunk or chest, which the thief and murderer did not find. The following special to th,e Tel egraph and Messenger, was. re ceived last night and will be hailed with pleasure by all who. have read the particulars of the crime : Albany, August 18.—The negro Arthur Wade, alias Frank Hudson who committed the murder, the particulars of which I gave you yes terday, in Terrell county, was cap tured last night about ten miles above here, in what 13 known as Red Bone district, Lee county, by Sheriff Edwards and city Marshal Westbrook, of this city. He con fessed the whole crime, and is at tempting to implicate two others, whose names he pretends not to re member. The negro girl, who was only stunned, says there was but the one negro. About eighty-five dollars, anew pistol, and several other articles were found upon his person, and seventy-five t or a hundred dollars more accounted for. The officers of Terrell county have been noti fied by wire of his capture. Sever al young men of the neighborhood where the crime was perpetrated are already here, and are very ret icent in expressing their opinion as to what will become of him. Our people are indignant, and can be seen discussing the affair in groups all around the streets. FUKTIIKK I*AKn C U L A IKE The two girls (sisters) had boen living during the year on a neighboring lan^i to Mr. Lee’s. They had, just a few <G\> previous to the murder, engaged to pick cotton for Mr. Lee, and had fiieen ti*r two days previous (Mondlfy and Titec day) engaged in that On,Tues day night, soon after 'the family—con sisting of only Mr. and Mrs. Lee am these two finished their sup per and retired -for the night (the tw< girls occupying a pallet on the floor h, the dining room) someone from without called to Mr. Leo and asked him to get up. It proved to he Frank Hudson, known to Mr. Lee and perhaps also .Mrs Lee; also known to the two negro girls. Frank stated that he had come to se< Mr. Lee to engage to pick cotton for hi ai. and very soon he and Mr. Lee had agreed for Frank to do so. Frank left and Mr. Lee returned to bed. Soon afterward- Frank again called Mr. Lee and inform ed him that his fence was on fire am offered to go with him and help put *t out. Mr. Lee hastily slipped on hi.- pants and shoes and taking his double barreled shot-gun went out with Frank to extinguish the fire. Bonn* timo after wards Frank returned alone to the house, and, on being asked by Mrs. Lee where Mr. Lee, was said lie left lfim sitting bv the roadside watching the lire, and he had told him to come and ask her some supper. She went in the dining roon and got him the supper, and lie sat down on the steps and ate it. That af terwads she, the girl, had heard a noise like someone in a scuffle. Not a great while afterwads she heard some out coming back to the room, whom she supposed was Mrs. Lee, but who prov ed to be Frank Hudson. That lie went to the fireplace, and with a few light wood splinters kiudled up a fire and un rolled and counted quite a sum of-money —put the money in' his pocket and hold the torch of splinters' over them as if te sec whether not they were asleep Finding one of them awake he askod hei if she knew him, and on being informed that she did, be threw the torch into tlm fireplace, which extinguished it. Th then gathered up the axe which he had brought in the room with him, and struck her a terrible blow, which glanc ed the side of her head and struck he: shoulder. She cried out and he struck her another blow, when she escaped from hiiu and ran out of the room into Mrs'. Lee’s room and hid under Mrs' Lee s bed. She heard him strike her sister several blows she had esenned from the room.' soon aftei wards she heafd him coming into the room. 11 1 soon discovered he. and caught her by the arni and dragged her from under the bed, and struck her on the other shonF der, which made her cry out. He then struck her another blow on the head after which she remembered nothing and knew nothing until about day the next morning. * After sunrise sh - vem ab.'e to get up and walk over to Bridges’, about a mile, and inform tbein' of all that had happened. As s<:. >n as possible, Mr. Bridges, with hia hr ;#< her-" in-law, mi*. James Bradley, repaired to Mr. Lee’s place, and found Mrs. Bee h ing on the passway between the lmusv and diningroom, dead— -and the negr girl lying on the pallet in the dining room, also dead. An open trunk, o> trunks, showed that the house had been robbed. A search of the fields soon showed the body of nr. Lee lying whorci he had been murdered. A piece of rail about five feet long—with one large and heavy, the other \yss small—was lying near by, was what Mr. Lee had been struck with, as portions of his hair were sticking to it. He was struck cn the back of bis bead where the bead and neck join. His neck was probably dis located and tilts back of his skull frae tured. Mrs. Lee was struck two blows ou the head with an axe —the side of the axe coming in ‘ contact with the head, fracturing tbs skull. Tim giii’s bead was fractured all over —almost into and jelly.—TeL & Mess, Au old lady writes us: 'T am 05 years old and was feeble and nervous all tliQ time, when I bought a bottle of Parker’s Ginger Tonic.
