Lon.svu.LS, March 10.-A dcci.ion | >’ OU Can COl,,lt ° n a ful1 cro l>~
sastamiug the contention of «<>e Demo- jf toQ li ttle> t | le {rrowt h w jH be
crats that the legislature is the triban il . °
designated by the constitution for the “scrubby.”
determination of coutests for the office*
of governor and lientonant governor,
was handed drvru in the circuit court
today by Judge Fields. The Repub*
licans will appeal the case to the state j GERMANKAI *I WORKS, 93 Nasi
books trlling all about composition of
adapted for all crops. They cost you
court of appeals, and if the decision
there is against them they will try to
get a hearing before the United States
supreme court.
Judge Fields reviews the history of
the case and the pleadings of both aides,
bnt devotes most of bis opinion to
quoting conrts of last resort involving
the competency of the legislature to de
cide similar disputes. He quotes the
report of the contest boards, finding in
favor of the Democratic contestants for
governor and lieutenant governor, and
says that while the legislature was dis
persed by militia before these reports
were acted npon and was barred from
its nsnai sitting place, the records of the
legislature show that the reports de
claring Beckham governor were adopted
by a quorum of each boose of the legis
lature. This showing of the records he
holds to be sufficient. The line of au
thority to the effect that the courts can
not inquire into the motives which in
duced the action of the legislature he
declares is unbroken and most be taken
as the law.
To the argument that there was no
quorum when the general assembly ap
proved the reports of the contest boards
and that it Had been adjourned, the
foregoing authorities say the statement
of the legislative records that there was
then a quorum is sufficient
Judge Fields concludes as follows:
“The report of the contest board does
not indicate upon whicn or how many
of the contestant's grounds of contest it
acted, whether npon the alleged tissue
ballots or military interference or other
of the numerous grounds specified and
I am not permitted upon this hearing
to look into the evidence; but if each
party has sustained by proof the charges
of fraud made against the other in the
pleadings and this were a proper place
for the application of that principle, I
would hold them to be in paft delicito
as violators of the law and refase to aid
either of them.
THE
Negro
LAW WILL PREVAIL.
31 urd.r.r. Will He (liven a
Speedy Trial.
Hazelihjhst, Ga., March 8.—Four
more negroes have been arreated as
being accessories to the Mims mnrder,
which happened near here the.night of
March 5, and it was thought the ne
groes would certainly be lynched, bat
cooler heads prevailed and upon investi
gation it was proven that two of the
negroes arrested knew nothing aboat
the crime, and they were turned loose.
The other two, arrested as accessories to
the crime, and the mother and a brother
of the two Goolsby negroes, who did
the killing, and the deputy sheriff and
a party, are now on the way to Baxley,
driving through the country to lodge
them in the county jail
If Mrs. Mims recovers enough from
the severe blows she received from the
negroes to appear in court against them
it is said they will be given a speedy
trial at this session of the court of Ap
pling county. This fact has had more
weight in quieting the excitement than
anything else.
PROMINENT MEN ARRESTED.
Well Known Keuiucklsns Charged
With the Munti-r of Goebel.
Frankfort, Ky., March 10.—W. H.
Oonlton of Jackson county, a clerk in

liams at 9 o’clock. Warrants charging

leb Powers aud Captain John W. Davis,

and up to a lute hour the police had not
fonnd him. It it not knowu if Secre

The warrants on which Conlton was
arrested, and for the arrest ot the two
Powers. Finley and DaviB, were based
on an affidavit made by Thomas B.
Cromwell of Lexingiou, Ky., before
County Judge Moore. Cromwell has
been assisting tlio detectives ill hnnt*
ing down the case and it it said that
acting under directions from Colonel T.
C. Campbell and Commonwealth's At

London Paper* on Pbolps.
London, March 10.—The afternoon
papers comment in moet sympathetic
teftne on the death yesterday of EL J.
Phelps, the former United States min
ister nere. They agree in saying that
he won so many friends in England
that his death will be received with al-
most as deep regret in London as in
New York.

TROOPS ORDERED HOME.
Otis to Return Three Battalions of
Iofantry In Slay.
New York, March a—A special to
The Herald from Washington says:
By direction of Acting Secretary of
War Meiklejohn instructions have been
sent to Major General Utis to return to
the United States some time in May
one battalion each of the Fonrteenth,
Eighteenth and Twenty-third infantry.
This decision of the department is no
doubt influenced to some oxtent by the
disorganization of the rebel army and
the prospect that the American troops
will no longer meet with resistence
from an organized force. Officers re
turning from the Philippines, however,
say that this mnst not be taken to mean
that the rebellion has been suppressed.
One well known officer, writing from
Luzon, gives it as his opinion that the
retiellion will not be entirely suppressed
in less than ten years.
