Atlanta, Nov. 20.—[Special.]—Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt lias been re-elected United Stales senator from Georgia, with only two opposing votes. The friends of Henry W. Grady had worked mightily to obtain a recognition if his candidacy, and it was thought that, at least, lie would receive 20 or 30 complimentary ballots. As soon as the legislature had assem¬ bled and the chaplain had prayed, the roll was called and the journal read. By 11:80 the galleries were crowded,all seats were occupied and a line of specta¬ tors standing up against the wall. A number of ladies were present, and all gentlemen entitled to tire privileges of the floor, were in the hall of representa¬ tives. Tiie members were out in force. At 12 o’clock Speaker Clay announced that the hour had arrived for the elec¬ tion of a senator. Mr. R. L. Berner, of Monroe, nomi¬ nated Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt. There were called. no other nominations, and the roll was Tiie result was as follows: Colquitt, 158; Darnell, 1. In the senate General Colquitt's elec¬ tion was as sweeping as in the house. Only one vote was cast against him, Mr. David Garen, of the 4.it, voting for S. A. Darnell. Mr. Bradwell, of the 2nd, nominated General Alfred H. Colquitt. Tiie nomination was seconded by Sena¬ tor Whitfield, of the 20th. There was no other nomination, and General Col¬ quitt in received the house, the the election Grady boomlet in the senate.

C., Nov. 20.—The supreme court of the United States will probably render a final decision in a few hours in a case that in its sensational features, the bitterness with which it has been contested, and its protracted litigation through over fifty years, stands without- a parallel in the judicial annals of this country, and throws into the shade many of the celebrated cases in the English chancery courts. This is the suit of Myra Clark Gaines against the city of New Orleans. Since 1834 this case lias been in the courts, and in that time nearly every prominent lawyer in the country lias taken part in the case on one side or the other. The various suits have been 1-rought savagely and relentlessly: opprobrium, abuse, vituper¬ ation and slander have been poured upon all connected with the case. Mrs. Gaines has been assailed as an impostor. Her legitimacy lias been called in question, her mother lias been declared a bigamist and an impure woman. When the exi¬ gency seemed to demand it, even the manhood of Gen. dark, whose child Mrs. Gaines claimed to be, has been dis¬ puted. The case has been tried time and again in the state courts of Louisiana, and it is said this is the tenth time it lias been in the supreme court of the United States. It has been regarded as settled qnd determined conclusively at various times in the past thirty years, but each time the ingenuity of the counsel em¬ ployed poning has the found final settlement. some means It of is post¬ now declared that the closing act of the drama lias come, and Mr. Beckwith, the attorney for the city of New Orleans, says that the resources of the law have been exhausted, and if defeated, there is nothing for the city to do but to make some arrangement for the damages awarded The by the between court. Mrs. Gaines and contests her lawyers have formed not the least conspicuous feature of the case. The most eminent attorneys have been em¬ ployed, and nearly all of them have withdrawn at different times. Caleb Cushing, Reverdy Johnson, Judge John Campbell who and represented Jere Black Mrs. are some Gaines, of them have while Daniel Webster of legal luminous¬ ness lias represented the other side. Deserted by one counsel after another, Mrs. Gaines struggled on hopeful, until she buoy¬ ant, confident of victory, was finally laid away in her grave. Long years of litigation washed away her money, and at times she was too poor to pay the court costs. But still she perse¬ vered in her determination to clear the stain from iier mother's name, and to secure what she regarded Washington as her right. Many residents of remem¬ ber her as a little, thin, old woman, whose cheerfulness, vivacity and energy Remained to the last.

Her son and son- in-law have also passed but Hatty away, L. and nobody now remains Whitney, her daughter-in-!aw, whose quarrel is living a few quietly years ago. Washington. very m In 1881, Mrs. Gaines, then 75 years old. was given judgment against the city of New Orleans for $1,925,607.83 by thfe United States circuit court. Four years later she died, while the case was on ap¬ peal to the United States supreme court. The amount awarded represents rents, interest and principal accruing from the sum for which the city originally sold the property. It is on an interest appeal from and this decision, awarding expected from rents, but an opinion is court in the United States supreme a few days. The case was argued last Oc¬ tober a year ago, and judgment can hardly be delayed longer. Interest is running on the money awarded by the court, so that should the judgment be against the city, as is generally expected, it will have to pay nearly $3,000,000 prac-" ; New Orleans is impoverished and is hard and tieally bankrupt, it a ques¬ tion for her to settle just how the obli- tion will be met. The court's mandate cannot be resist¬ ed. and it is thought that the matter will be arranged by the issuance of new interest l-earing bonds to those who rep¬ resent the estate of Mrs. Gaines, Fell Into Molten Iron. Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 20.—While Carl Tliett, a moulder at the brass foun¬ dry, was working at the foot of one of the cupal-s containing molten iron, a rumbling sound from the cupalo, caused by an explosion, was heard. A minute later flames were fiercely driven out of the opening below,and molten iron from the receptacle above was splattered for yards around. The unfortunate man was enveloped by fire, from which he es¬ caped only after his hands and arms were charred, and his face and body burned in huge spots. It was so terrible a torture to the man that lie pleaded of his fellow workmen to kill him. From i.ls arms flesh hung in shreds, so that in pulling off his garments pieces of flesh came with them.

Another of the Bloody Hatfield Gang Captured. A YOUNG DETECTIVES COUR¬ AGE AND DARING The Arrest the Ke»uU fff Hatfield** Conten¬ tion — The finite who Saw the Slaughter of the McCoy Hoy* —Justice to be Done* Charleston, W. V&.. Nov. 20.—An¬ other of the murderous Hatfield gang has been dragged in manacles from the rough mountains, where the desperadoes have so long defied the law and slaugh tered as they chose. The bloody border war that has strewn the shores of the Tug river with graves, is being rapidly brought to a close by the iron nerved detectives who are prowling through the great wilderness to which law has so long been a stranger. Ellison Hatfield, alias Mounts, tbe brute who was captured after a desper¬ ate struggle in the mountains with De¬ tectives Gibson and Cunningham about three weeks ago, made a full confession. He implicated Alexander Messer as one of tiie slayers of the McCoy boys, who were shot to death In August five years ago by a merciless tribunal of the woods headed by “Devil Alice” Hatfield. Messer is known as one of the most desperate ruffians on the border and was a conspicuous figure in the Breathitt county trouble in Kentucky a few years ago. It is said that lie killed five or six men in that county, and boasted that he had killed twenty-six men since the war. The captured murderer was here brought to this city and taker, from to Hat¬ tiesburg, Ky,, where he is now old, and in jail. He is about fifty-one years bus a wife and six ehii lteu. He was form¬ erly a deputy sheriff in Perry county, Ky. Messer declares that lie would never have surrendered, and would not have been captured, only that the detectives got between him and his gun. He ad¬ mits having lived with the Hatfields at the time of the murder of the McCoy boys, but denies that he killed either of them. He is the seventh of tiie Hatfield McCoy murderers arrested by the de¬ tectives. Gibson, who made the arrest, is the of youngest the member fcarles; of the detectives force, but in one the most United States. settlement Single handed, he went into the McCoy and captured two this of the McCoy gang, received brought the reward them to state, and offered for them. In company with other detectives, about two weeks ago, he made a raid on the Hatfields, forefinger captur¬ ing one and shooting the off Tom Chambers’ hand, and also shooting him through the side. On that trip Gibson lay in the woods three days with¬ out anything to cat except what chest¬ nuts he could find among the leaves. Tiie murder in which Ellison Hatfield's confession involves Messer was one of the most awful tragedies of the border war, and sent a thrill of horror all over the country. After Johnson Hatfield had betrayed and the old West Randall Virginians McCoy's had daughter rescued Johnson from the Kentuckians, things remained pretty quiet until the August election in Kentucky five years ago. The polling place of that neighborhood was m Jerry Hatfield s house, three miles up Blackberry creek. The Virginia Hat¬ fields had been in the habit of running the election in both states. Ellison Hat¬ field had crossed over ojul attended the election. Randall McCoy's three sons— Floyd, Talbert and Richard—were lads, the eldest pres¬ being ent. They were mere the twenty-four old and youngest and nineteen years A row arose, in it Ellison undertook to kill the McCoy boys and was himself mortally wounded. There was a wild cry for blood from authorities tiie Virginia promptly Hatfields. arrested The Kentucky Talbert and Richard McCoy, Floyd having escaped. This would not do, however. Old A nee and his followers, armed to the teeth, crossed the river and took the two lads away from the officers, capturing 14-year-old also little Randall McCoy, a brother, who had nothing to do with the deatli of Ellison Hatfield. The boys were taken to Virginia, and after being tied hand and foot were locked up in a little schoolhouse near the Hatfield settlement. Here they were guarded by armed sentries. Tiie Hat¬ fields swore that if their wounded rela¬ tive should die he would be avenged in McCoy blood. For a night and two days the lads were kept jirisoners. Their mother and Ance Hatfield's mother,both religious women, went to the school- house, and on their behded knees togeth¬ er prayed for the release carried of the boys. in Ola Mrs. Hatfield was away a dead faint, and Mrs. McCoy was driven across the river by tbe fierce men w-ho guarded That night her doomed John»on sons. Hatfield died. The three boys were taken across the river at midnight, tied to pawpaw bushes and shot to pieces, This ghastly scene was fully- described by the corres¬ pondent who rode over tiie ground and was finally driven back by the Hatfield pickets.
