The prospects of war between
England and Russia seem to be
gradually lessening, and the hope
is entertained that the disagree
ments of these great powers will
be amicably settled. Yv’e have
watched the progress of the quarrel
with deep interest, feeling that such
a war would be a deplorable event
for our own people.
TRUE
ITIZEN.
Volume 4.
Waynesboro, Georgia, Friday, May 8th, 1885.
The counting of the moneys and
securities in the United States
treasury, says a dispatch from
"Washington, has been about com
pleted with the exception of $165,-
000,000 United Ktates notes and
gold and silver certificates yet to be
examined. It is expected that it
will require another week to exam
ine the reserve fund. Everything
was found in a most satisfactory
condition. The only discrepancy
is two cents missing from a pack
age of pennies.
Ex-President Grant has made re
markable strides towards health
since the incarceration of Ward and
Fish, of that great swindling con
cern known as Grant, Ward & Co.
Indeed, so rapid has been his recov
ery as to cause some to entertain
grave doubts that there was ever
anything more serious the matter
with him than a gum-bile. Our
General John Brown Gordon (not
Chinese Gordon) wasted all those
salt tears which he evidently bor
rowed from some huge old croco
dile.
We have received the May number
of the Athens University Magazine,
and find the copy before us hand
somely printed and tilled with a
class of matter much superior to
that usualy found in college pa
pers. These publications might be
made a source of great and solid
improvement to the young men, but
as they are usually conducted,
they are no benefit, and are really
disgusting. We hope the young
men of the State University will
keep their magazine up to a high
degree of excellence, and force it
to demand public respect. We no
tice that J. J. Reynolds, of this city,
is at present on the editorial staff.
We have received a copy of the
•centennial issue of the Augusta
Chronicle, and find it a mammoth
sheet of twenty-four pages, printed
in the highest modern style of the
art. It marks an era in the age of
that journal neyer before attained
by any paper in the South, and, we
believe, by only two others in the
whole country. It is interesting to
trace the history of this old paper,
while a comparison of the present
Chronicle and Constitutionalist
with the Augusta Chronicle during
the first years of its existence, a fac
simile copy of the issue of Saturday,
October 9, 1790, being reproduced in
the centennial issue, is simply
amazing. It is impossible to ap
preciate the fact that the then little
three-column paper, printed in a
style now obsolete, and issued once
a week, should ever have been suffi
cient for the needs of the city of
Augusts. No example of which we
are aware exhibits the progress
made by the world during the past
century with greater clearness than
a comparison of the issue of the
Chronicle of October 9, 1790, and
the Chronicle of to-day ; and could
its first proprietors awake from the
i\ead and see the changes which
time and science have wrought in
their little paper, they would not
credit their own eyes. But science
cannot stay Its advancing strides,
and whim a hundred years more
shall have fled away into the gloomy
past,will not the Chronicle of to-day
• be to that generation as great a
currlosity, as the issue of 1790 is to
us?
Among its notices of the towns of
the state, we find the following no
tice of this city in the centennial
issue: “Waynesboro, between Au
gusta and Savannah” a thriving
town on the Central railroad is
built, which furnishes both cities
with some of its best trade, and is
the centre of one of the largest and
mdst important counties in the
state. Waynesboro has something
like 9,000 people within its limits, is
02 miles' from Augusta, and num
bers some of the largest stores in
the state, Indeed, the business
done and the stands maintained by
some of the merchants would
match those of Savannah and Au
gusta, and among her merchants
are to be found some of the most
enterprising and nubile spirited
men fh South Georgia.
Between 12,900 and 15,000 bales of
cottbrt annually shipped from
this point, and the supply of melons
in the summer is equal to that ofuny
section in the state. Waynesboro
is noted for all the conveniencies
of a growing town, all the refine
ment of society, and the accom
paniments of wealth; and the farm
lands surrounding are among the
finest m the state. Till’. Tree Cit
izen is the town publication, and is

HOllKUTS NOT UKIjKASKD,
•Judge Speer KefuNes to llefognize the Writ.
Bavnnnnh News Tuesduy, May 5th.
The case of William S. Roberts in
the matter of an application for a
writ of habeas corpus, in the United
State District Court, before Judge
Speer, ye.terday morning. The
seats in the court room were all
taken, many members of the Sa
vannah liar being present.
The evidence was concluded Sat
urday, and Mr. Black, of Augusta,
counsel for the prisoner, opened
the argument. Messrs. Chisholm
and Miller, the opposing counsel
had been busy ever since the ad
journment of court Saturday hunt
ing up authorities with which to
convince Judge Speer that the
doubt which had arisen in his mind
as to the validity of the Indictment,
because of the joint indictment of
two persons without the allegation
of conspiracy, was irrelavant.—
When the point was touched, how
ever, the court announced that it
was unnecessary to cite authori
ties, as he was convinced that in
that respect the indictment was all
rigid. Major Black argued that the
court should go behind the return
of the officer, the execution war
rant, and even the indictment,
and investigate all the material
facts in the case. As a reason for
this position he suggested that that
question could not have come be
fore either Governor Hill or Gov
ernor McDaniel.
Analyzing the indictment, the
counsel for the prisoner declared
that the proof of the ownership of
the bonds alleged to have
been stolen was insufficient. The
indictment, he claimed, did not
allege that the Bethlehem iron
company was an individual or a
corporation, a joint stock concern
ora partnership, or anything else.
If it was a corporation, it should be
so stated. The idea that it was
an individual, was ridiculed, for
individuals rarely have such names.
Major Black then made the point
that the company was not a legal
entity, and his Honor suggested
that it was impossible to steal from
a nonentity. The next point dis
cussed was the necessity of showing
that any crime had been commit
ted by the accused against the stale
of New York while there.
“We respectfully submit,” said
Major Black, “that .there is ev
idence in the record upon which
ttie indictment was found, which
clearly shows that if any crime
had been committed, it was in
Georgia, and not in New York. On
February 12, 1884, Roberts, who was
then in New York, telegraphod
Edwin H. Walton, cashier of the!
Bank of Augusta, to send ten
bonds to the Mercantile National
Bank of New York. The response
was received from the cashier that
he had sent the bonds by express.—
Roberts did not see them, did not
have them, did not handle them.”
From this the attorney proceeded
to the allegation that Roberts was a
fugitive from justice. Reciting the
evidence in denial, lie added that
even had Roberts violated every
law against the state of New York,
that Governor Hill had no juris
diction for the issuance of a requi
sition unlegs the perpetrator had
been In the state of New York and
fled from it after the commission of
the dqed. Unless he was a fugi
tive there was no authority upon
which to issue a warrant, and the
restraint must be held illegal.
The ease of Senator Patterson, of
South Carolina, for whom Governor
Hampton Issued a requisition while
the senator was ia Washington in
the discharge of Ids duties, was ci
ted. At the hearing on a writ of
habeas corpus the prisoner was
discharged because it was shown
that he had not lied from his state,
hut hud left it to attend to Ids sena
torial duties. The publication of a
libel in South Carolina by a person
in another state at the time, was
cited as a crime against a state
which is not extraditable.
Another point was made, that
Walton, the only witness for Rob
erts, could not go to New York and
testify in his behalf, because ail in
dictment whs pending against him
also.
Mr. Frank Mlllorj counsel for the
Bethlehem Iron company, opened
the argument for his side. Ho ob
served that every point discussed
by Major Black was similar to those
argued and passed upon by Judgo
lloiiey, of tho Richmond superior
court, last week, except the one re
ferring to the Joint indictment of
Walton and Roberts. “Every point
brought up here,” he said, “was
brought, or could have boon before
Judgo Roney.” He cited a number
of cases in refutation of tho argu
ment of his opponent.
Captain G. A. Mercer replied for
the defense, and was m turn follow
ed hy J udge ( Idsholm. 1 le held that
all presumptions were In favor of
the warrant, that it was made for
the indictment, and that it could
not be controverted by any other
testimony. He declared that the
harden of proof as to the Bethlehem
iron company was upon the de
fense, and it was for them to show
that the Bethlehem iron company
was not an individual. “Proceed
ings of this kind,” said ho, “should
not be quashed through legal tech
nicalities.”
Judge Twiggs, for the defense,
closed the ease, and a recess was
taken to give the court an opportu
nity to prepare his decision.
In about twenty minutes the
court reconvened, and Judge Speer
rendered his decision, which was
as follows:
In re. W. S. Roberts. Petition
for habeas corpus. First Archibald,
page 03. The constitution of the
United States, article 4, section 2,
provides that a person in any state
charged with treason, felony or
other crifiie, who shall flee from
justice, and shall he found in an
other, shall on demand of the ex
ecutive authority of the state from
which he fled be delivered up to be
removed to the state having juris
diction of the crime.
This provision of the organic law
received the careful consideration
of the Federal convention. Certain
changes were made in phraseology
showing the settled purpose of its
framers to make it the policy of the
Union to surrender in one state the
fugitives from justice in another.—
It is a settled rule of inter state
comity, and imposes ail absolute
obligation on each state in a proper
case made before the chief execu
tive officer to surrender and facili
tate the extradition of parties
charged with crimes in the other
states of the Union. By act of con
gress of 1793, section 5,278, of the
revised statutes, appropriate legis
lation for the enforcement of this
constitutional provision was had,
and this legislation has received the
lofty sanction afforded by the ap
proval hy the Supremo Court of the
United States of its constitutionali
ty and effectiveness to enforce the
original compact between the states
upon this subject, so important to
the punishment of crime and the
maintenance of social order. (Grigg
vs. Common wealth of Pennsylvania,
10 Peters, 539). Nor have the seve
ral states been tardy in the enact
ment of auxiliary legislation to ac
complish the object for which the
national law is trained, and the
state of Georgia is direct anil ex
plioit in its enactments to this end.
(See code.;
While the duty of the executive
is thus plainly marked out, it is also
the province of the courts oil in
quiry by means of habeas corpus to
determine the legality of the deten
tion of the party whose extradition
is sought, and since the Federal
legislation of necessity is invoked to
extradite the prisoner, the courts
of the United States have jurisdic
tion to determine the question of
the legality of his arrest. (Revised
statutes, 735.)
The courts of the State have also
concurrent jurisdiction of the same
question, but the resulting judg
ments of this jurisdiction are not
necessarily decisive and do not con
clude the courts of the United
States on this Federal question,
though entitled to great respect,
and are strongly advisory.
In tho case before the court, the
duly authenticated copy of tho in
dictment of the defendant and one
Walton for the offense of grand lar
ceny, said indictment purporting to
have been returned by the grand
jury of the state and county of New
York, is presented to either, with
tho requisition of the governor of
tire state of New York, and the con
sequent order of the governor of
Georgia is presented as tho warrant
for tho arrest and purposed extra
dition.
It is objected hy the counsel for
the relator that tho Indictment
does not show a proper charge of
crime. It is urged that the crime
set out, to-wit, grand larceny, is a
felony, and that the indictment is
against several defendants, and
that there are no averments show
ing tho degrees of the guilt, whether
as principal in the first or second
degreo, or as accessory before or
after, the fact. This objection, in
the opinion of the court, would have
Cecil dangerous to the validity of
tho indictment, it being a felony
under the rules of the common law.
This indictment, however, must
bo considered la view of tho statu
tory regulations pertinent thereto
in the state of Now York, and wo
find that in that state parties charg
ed with felony or indicted jointly
precisely as were misdemeanors of
common law. (Second revised, suc
tion 098.)
There, this rulo applies to the
whole range of felonies, and, as a
consequence, It follows that princi
pals in the (second degree may bo
indicted and prosecuted as princi
pals in the first. This is the doc
trine of tlie common law where the
punishment is the same. (Archi
bald Crim plead., 8 Am. ed., p. 63.)
The objection, therefore, is not
sustained.
It is further objected to the legali
ty of this detention that the indict
ment does not properly allege the
ownership of the bonds alleged to
have been stolon, and that the al
legation that they were the bonds
of tho Bethlehem iron company
without alleging the corporate
character of such company is a fatal
defect. Unquestionably there is
authority pointing to this con
clusion. After careful and anxious
consideration of the question the
Court feels it to be improper that it
should discharge the deiendant on
this ground, and thinks it in every
view safer and the better rule to re
mit the question of the sufficiency
of the indictments to be tried and
determined by the courts of the
state in which it was found.
The settled policy of the govern
ment being to facilitate the extradi
tion of fugitives charged with crime,
and, in view of the great import
ance of this policy to the commer
cial prosperity and the integrity
in business transactions between
the citizens of the several states, it
would ho a dangerous precedent
and as well in conflict with eminent
authority to hold that such matters
of technical irregularity shall deny
the extradition.
Certain affidavits are also offered
by the relator, the practical effect of
which is a denial of guilt. It is suf
ficient to say that the court in this
proceeding will not consider that
question. A proper charge of crime
having been presented to the court
it is the undoubted duty to decline
to investigate the guilt or innocence
of the prisoner. The authorities
upon this suggestion are numerous,
conclusive and adverse to the con
tention of the counsel of relator. It
would be otherwise were the arrest
made upon preliminary process, and
before indictment. In that event
in vestigation would be had at least
to disclose if there be a prosecution
in good faith, and if there be proba
ble cause to suspect the guilt of the
party accused.
It is further urged, and with great
apparent confidence by the distin
guished counsel for the relator, that
the facts do not show that the re
lator is a fugitive from justice. It
is the opinion of the court that one
who goes into a state and commits
a crime and then returns home is
as much a fugitive from justice as
thougii he had committed a crime
ia the state in which he resided and
then fled to some other state.
With the other considerations
personal to the relator advanced by
counsel the court can properly have
no concern. The law is inexorable,
and the court is but its servant, and
must, like all others, obey its teach
ings. The writ is disallowed, and
the petition of the relator dismissed.
As soon as his Honor had finished
reading, Capt. Mercer arose and
begged leave to take an appeal to
the circuit court.
This was rather unexpected,
though not by the opposing counsel.
Judge Speer remarked that he
thought he had beon sitting as in
the circuit court, and had heard the
case as sitting in that court. Upon
reference to the papers, however, it
appeared that lie had issued tho writ
out of the district court, and that it
was heard in the same.
The granting of the appeal to the
circuit court has further delayed
matters. Judge Speer will not hear
it again, for he said he would cer
tainly give the same decision. It
will then come before Judge Woods
or Judge Pardee. Messrs. Chisholm
and Miller will try to have the case
brought up as soon as possible.—
The defense will try to keep it off
at least until the next term of court.
It can hardly be heard before May
20, when Judge Woods may possi
bly take it up at Macon. Mr. Reil-
ley will probably return to New
York.
Roberts left the city in custody of
the United States marshal fo* liis
home last night.

Dr. John M. Johnson:
Dear Old Friend—Puffs similar
to the enclosed (Rev. Jessie II.
Campbell’s “Two More Important
Cases”) occur almost weekly in our
paper in relation to Swift’s Specific.
I presume upon our old friendship
to inquire of you in relation to it—
its curative qualities, price and
manner of procuring it. Having
lived eighty-three years through
the most important part of the
world’s history, the prospect of
dying from cancer on the face is
not very consoling. Let me hear
from you at earliest convenience,
Very truly your old friend,

My Dear Friend—Your very high
ly esteemed favor of the 24th inst.

information in regard to the cele
brated medicine manufactured here,
known as S. S. S. I have watched
with much care the effect of this
medicine upon those who have used
it, and bear willing testimony to its
good results in a great majority of
instances. The firm engaged In its
manufacture are gentlemen and
capitalists, and far above falsehood
or deception as any men in your
community. You may confide im
plicitly in any ot their statements
touching its utility. You can get
it at the drug stores in Louisville,
Evansville or even in Owensboro,

I am sorry for your affliction but
I believe this medicine will cure
you if persisted in. I would not

The appeal was prayed under the
following from Federal procedure:
Sec. 763. An appeal may he
taken from any court, justice or
judge inferior to the circuit court
upon a writ of habeas corpus—
I. In the case of any person al
leged to he restrained of his liberty
in violation of the constitution or
any law or treaty of tiie United
States.
The defense held that as Roberts
claimed to be restrained of his liber
ty through loose and alledged faul
ty indictment he hud a right to ask
an appeal, because If the indict
ment was mls-drawn he was hold in
violation of the laws of tho United
States. Judge Speer at first was in
clined to the opinion that an appeal
could not lie granted. It was then
3:30, and lie announced Unit at 4:30
he would hear argument on that
point.
After the recess counsel on both
sides occupied nearly two hours in
argument. Finally the judgo stat
ed that he believed that the accused
had a right to appeal, and he ac
cordingly allowed it.
“What ball will ho requlrod?”
asked Judge Twiggs.
“Well,” replied Judge Speer, “I
should think that one who could re
tain sueli an array of eminent coun
sel would be able to give almost
any ball.”
Tho court fixed tho amount at
$1(1,900, and Roberts was given tlvo
days in which to secure it. in the
meantime lie will he in to tho cus

Major Holliday showed us on yes

sisting ot old and rare coins and an
old family Bible. There were about
forty coins, but of those most par
ticularly worthy of mention is one
of silver, made in the time of Mo
hammed, covered with strange
characters and known to be 1,303
years old, and several Spanish coins
made In 1776. There was in the lot
an elegantly executed medal about
two inches in diameter, on the ob

“Con La Triple Garantia.” “De

the reverse, “Segunda Epoca.” This

when lie was in tho Mexican army,
and was found in tho room of a
Mexican officer. It is supposed to
be 308 years old, and presented to
Do Soto for some of Ids services and
exploits. Tho major showed us
also a lfilile, rudely covered with
buckskin, on one of tho fly loaves of

On lust Sunday evening, near
Reedy springs, this county, occur
red one of the saddest shooting af-
lrays in the history ot the county.
On Sunday morning last as two
citizens of that district were pass
ing the place of Mr. Robert Rogers,
he (Rogers), hailed them and re
quested that one of them should
draw him a drink of water. One of
the gentlemen hastened to comply
with his request, but when in a lew
feet of the well, Rogers told him
that if he touched the bucket he
would cut him in pieces. Rogers
then asked the gentlemen to walk
with him down the road and stated
that he would tell him something
that he had never heard and that
he had never seen, neither did any
one ever know of it. Going a short
distance down the road Rogers told
his companion that he was going
to stand on his head on a stump and
made the attempt when he fell off
in violent convulsions. The two
gentlemen carried the insane man
to his home and notified his brother
of his condition. The brother of
the insane man then secured the
assistance of several neighbors for
the purpose of seizing and securing
him. Ho also informed Mr. Willi
am A. Lowery, who lives near by,
of his brother’s condition, and told
Lowery not to hurt him if he came
to his house. In a short while Low
ery perceived Rogers coming with
one of his children in his arms, and
as he approached the fence that en
closed the yard, he told Lowery
that lie had killed his family and
now come to kill that of Lowery.
Mr. Lowery told him not to come
inside of his enclosure or he would
kill him. Rogers replied that he
would come as soon as lie could
tear a hole in the fence large
enough to come through, and pro
ceeded to jerk off the pailings. He
went into the yard with his child in
his arms, and when in a short dis
tance of the house, Mr. Lowery rais
ed his gun and fired. The load took
eftect in the face of Rogers and he
fell bleeding on the ground. Mr.
Lowery and family, with a Mr. Cole
man who was present at the time,
left the projnises to inform the
neighbors. When they returned
they found by the traces of blood
that the wounded man had crawled
over the house and was gone. They
made further investigation and
found that he had reached his home
just as the searching party, headed
by his brother, came up. Dr. Buch
anan is treating the wounded man,
but has little hopes of liis recovery.
He is still so frantic that he will
not allow the physician to treat the
case as he would like, saying that
they shall do nothing but slit his
nose so that he can breathe better.
Mr. Rogers has the reputation of
being a desperate man, and was
before the last session of the county
court for carrying concealed wea
pons. His insanity is attributed to
fanatioisUi; and the mind of his
wife, who believes that her hus
band is endowed with superhuman
strength, is thought to be impaired.
Sheriff Perry visited the insane
man on Wednesday last for the
purpose of bringing him to town
and placing him in jail if he thought
his condition warranted it.
A Bainbridge boy went to see a
young lady the other night. As
time was precious lie turned his
watch back an hour. The young
gent was summoned as a witness
before Judge Ingram’s court next
morning. He was an hour late,
having forgotten Ids watch was
just an hour slow. The judge’s
face lit up with a judicial frown, as
the young man claimed that he was
on time. Investigation, however,
changed the frown into a smile as
his honor “caught on” to the situa
tion.

At Crawfordville, on Memorial
Day, flowers were planted on the
grave of a well known colored man,
Att Mitchell. “Att” was In the
(’onfederate army from first to last
as a faithful and devoted servant
to some young men from Taliaferro,
His usefulness was well known
among tho hoys, and tlioso who
wore present on Monday, could
but feel that flowers were on this
day fittingly offered to tho memory
of “Att.”
Special farmers almost always
moot with discouraging losses.
Whore one confines himself exclu
sively to ouo crop there is sure to
1)0 either, a had year or a fall in
price. Where one Is raising stock,
grain, cotton and hay, there will ho
always something to fall back upon,
Now In the time when the distressing effect*
or MALARIAL POISONING show them
selves so conspicuously. To those who live
in a inalariouH climate, or who have been ex
posed to the pernicious effects of this,mias
matic poison, uu disruption of symptoms Is
neoessary. The poison onco getting Into tit*
>od, is very difficult to eradicate, and will
hihlt its debilitating Influence long after
the active stages of its operation have been
subdued. Like any Other poison It requires
an ANTIDOTE to neutralize It. It is now
fourteen years since the SOUTHERN MA
LARIAL ANTIDOTE was presented to the
public ami its extraordinary success in imu-
rulizing the poison of Malaria and Invigo
rating tiie constitution when debilitated has
far surpassed our most Nungulno expecta
tions.
