mate for tbe year passed.

DOUSE.
The request of Ihe Senate for tbe return
of the 6 per oent. land bill was acceded to.
Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, rising to a ques
tion of personal privilege, sent to the
clerk’s desk and bad read that portion of
a letter written by Mr. Hewitt, of New
York, to Mr. Manning, of Mississippi,
which charges that the committee on elec
tions refused to investigate charges of for-
tloman from Indiana (Calkins) had Seen
alluded to in any relation to tho House.
The Speaker ruled that the matter did
present a question of privilege. Mr. Gal
kins then stated as long as the charges
against the committee were confined to
the newspapers, he bad not noticed them,
Congress it was a reflection on every
member of the committee. Probably it
was not so intended by the gentleman
(Hewitt), bnt nevertheless it was a reflec
tion which ought to be refuted at once.
Tbe committee on,electior s had never fail
ed to inquire into the truth of any charge
made before it.
A long and noisy discussion then arose
as to the action of the committee, Mr.
Atherton, of Ohio, claiming that it bad
refused to investigate the charges of forg
ery, and Mr. Calkins denying that state
ment. Both,of these gentlemen were
frank in their statements, and prooeeded
in perfect calmness and good temper, but
a great number of the members on both
si Jes were excited, and the interpolations
in the debate caused such confusion that it
was next to impossible to understand tbe
points made by the principal debaters.
The Home was unusually fall, and nearly
all the members were on their feet, many
of them speaking at once. Tbe confusion
increased as time passed, and at twelve
o’clock the House was in an uproar, which
only abated when Mr. Calkins demanded
of his friends that in a spirit of fair
ness Mr. Asherton should be allowed
to take the floor. Mr. Reagan, of
Texas, objected. Then Mr. Dibblo,
of South Carolina, arose to a question of
privilege, bnt his opening remarks failing
to present such a question, objection was
mad* to his proceeding.
Mr* Hewitt, of Hew York, then took tho
floor with another question of privilege.
He disclaimed any intention of making an
unjust charge against any member of the
committee on elections, and stated that in
writing the letter which had given rise to
the debate, be had based its declarations
on tbe minority report, the petition of Mr.
Dibble and the assertions of the Demo
cratic members of tbe oommittce. As one
of tbe foundations for his letter, Mr. Hew
itt desired to have.read the affidavit of C.
Smith, United States supervisor of elec
tions. Objection was made, bnt tbe Speak
er ruled that the affidavit might be read.
It simply charges interlineations, erasures
and omissions m the testimony taken in
the oontest between Mackey and O’Oon-
Mr. Hewitt, oontinoing, submitted
that that was a sufficient basis for tbe very
moderate statements which he made in his
lesson. He asserted that the whole matter
should be recommitted and the charge of
forgery investigated. Ii that were done,
he would be no party to any {filibustering
operations to keep any man from a seat,
even though he thought he was not entitled
to it; but so long as the troth was not ad
mitted in evidence, he was sure the people
would sustain tho Democratic party in op
posing to the last extremity any effort to
strike down the right to fiee representa
tion. [Applause on the Democratic side.]
Mr. Calkin-j then reviewed briefly the
evidence in the case, and read affidavits
in explanation and denial of that filed by
C. Smith, and his presentation of the facts
on which the majority of tho committee
relied eiieited|Mveral rounds of applause
from his party friends. In conolu*ion, he
ssid: “It is said that the Democratic par
ty is justified in its filibustering because
some testimony is questioned. If the
Democratic party can stand on such a foot
ing, we can afford to stand on the great
constitutional right, which for ninety-
three years has never before been ques
tioned, of determining by a majority vote
cf this House who is entitled to a seat in
tfriffi chamber.”
The matter was dropped, and Mr. Calkins
called up the oonteited election case. Fili
bustering again began, votes on dilatory
motions ana to adjourn showing three less
than a quorum, excepting on motions to
adjourn, which were voted do«n. Daring
the roll call on a dilatory motion Mr. Wal
ker, of Pennsylvania, who waa standing in
rear of the members’ seats, fell in a faint
ing fit. and was laid upon one of the sofas.
Mr. Walker soon recovered, however, suf
ficiently to vote. Matters then remained
in statu quo tor about an boar and a half.
The sergeant-at-arms was not dispatehed
after absent members. Those present killed
time as well as they were able in conversa
tion and reading until five o'clock, when
Mr. Gaisins, of Indiana, stating that he
would call np tbe election case to-morrow,
and advising members to bring five days’
rations with them, moved to adjourn. The

Hr. Louis, May 23.—A few days ago an
editorial appeared in the Evening Chroni

of the Criminal Court, and tho manner of
dbing business in that court. Yesterday
Stanley Waterloo, editor of the Chronicle,
was cited to appear before the oonrt to
show cause why he should not be com
mitted for contempt Waterloo's oonnsel
denied that the court had jurisdiction in
tbe premises, whereupon Judge Laugblin
said there being a difference of opinion on
that point, he would waive the rights of
the oourt in the matter and, aa an individ
ual, would give Waterloo until after sun
down to retract the obnoxious article

Washington, D. O., May 22.—In reply to
questions touching his relations to the
coming canvass for governor of Georgia,
Mr. Stephens bos consented to the pub
lication of the following letter, mailed to
night:
National Hotel,
Washington, D. O., May 22,1882.
Mr. Charles E. Smith, Washington, Go.—
Dmam Mb. Smith : Your letter of the 19th
inst is before me. In reply to your inquiry
about my position ia relation to the gov
ernorship of Georgia, I can only say,
briefly, that the reported interviews with
me on this subject, as published in the At
lanta Constitution, are substantially cor
rect. In reply to letters from all parts of
the State and from men attached to all po
litical parties, urging me to forego my in
tention to retire from public life at the
close of my present Congressional term,
and to oonsent to aocept the office of gov
ernor, I state that if my health continues
as good as it has been daring the past win
ter, and if unmistakable evidences should
be furnished me that it is the will of the
people of Georgia that I should so serve
i hem, I know of no reason that would jus
tify me in refnsing so to do. Thus the
matter rests at present, so far as am con-
oerned.
When asked the question whether I would
allow my name to be used in connection
with this office at the next election against
tbe nomination of another person by the
Democratic State Oonvantint to assemble
on the 19th of July next, my uniform an
swer has been “I would not.” This action
of tbe Democratic party would, with me,
be controlling evidence that it is not the
will of a majority of the people of Georgia
that I should serve them as governor. To
this conclusion I should come, notwith
standing the numerous letters i have rei
ceived from men of the greatest eminenoe
in the State, and the many petitions em
bracing hundreds of people in dif
ferent counties to which 1 have re
ferred, and the recommendation of my
name to be voted for as governor
by the people of Georgia, by the highly
respectable body of men wbo recently as
sembled et Atlanta, and whose good opin
ion and confidence 11 appreciate in no
email degree. I deem it proper, in this
connection, to add that white my political
affiliation is entirely with the Democracy
on principles and measures, and if in
either it has erred, such errors should be
corrected within father than without its
ranks; yet if I were nominated by the
Democracy and elected governor of Geor
gia by the people. I should not be a parti
san governor, but should look to the best
interests and welfare of tbe State by pro
tecting the rights of all classes of society,
which should be the obief object of all
government. The principles perpetuated
n the motto of the grand old State, “Wis
dom, Jnstioe and Moderation,” would be
the gaide of ray administration.
Sinco writing the above I have seen a
telegram dated the 15th instant, from At
lanta, Gfto the Chicago Tribune, pub
lished in the Augusta Chronicle and Consti
tutionalist of the 20th instant, sta ing that
I had telegraphed to the Atlanta convention
of Independents that I would accept the
nomination for governor. It is utterly un
true that I ever sent any such a telegram
or authorized its being sent by anybody.
Yours, Alexander H. Stephens.

REPVRLICAXSIX COVXCIL.
iMtlagst Sue Republican State Cen
tral Committee.
The Republican State Cenlral Commit
tee met yesterday in the United States
Court-room, A. E. Buck in the chair. The
committee at once went into an election
of chairman and the reorganization of the
executive committee. H. P. Farrrfw, of
Atlanta, and Jno. H. Deveaux, of Savan
nah, were nominated for chairman.
Pledger made a warm speech favoring
Deveaux, and was particularly severe on
Farrow and the “syndicate.” Tho vote
stood: Farrow 7, Deveaux 15.
Farrow declined to serve on the com
mittee, bnt finally consented to remain on
The following were then made tbe exec
utive committee;
Erorn the State at Urge—H. P. Farrow,
A. E. Book, W. A. Pledger, James B. Long-
street.
First Congressional District, John H.
Deveaux; Second, John Few; Third, E.
Seward Small; Fourth, J. C. Bell; Fifth,
John L. Conley; Sixth, J. F. Long: Sev
enth, W. a Wikle; Eighth, W. J. White;
Ninth, W. H. Heard.
A resolution approving tbe coarse of
President Arthur was adopted.
Resolutions similar to those adopted by
the colored canons whioh met in Maoon a
short whilo ago, expressive of holding
aloof from the independent party, were
adopted.
A resolution to endorse the eandldaey of
Hon. Alex. Stephens for governor was
tabled.
A committee was appointed, consisting
of W. W. Brown, Walter Johnson and if.
P. Farrow, to asoertain the number of
Democratic employee in tbe mail setvioe
in Georgia, and report same to the Poet-
zxuuiter-Qener&l.
The “syndicate” seemed to be the bone
of diioontent in the camp, and it is evident
from the snatches of conversation picked
np by oar reporter, whose preeenoe was
not desired in the oommlttee room, that
tbe majority of the members are in arms
against anything that belongs to the syndi
cate. Pledger and Deveaux were hot
against it, and they held quite a strong
gathering.
The oommlttee met promptly at 12
o’clock and continued in session until after
turn,
in camp of the “hydra-headed syndicate,'
nothing would have marred the ooession.

Yesterday morning was the time set for
the trial of Carrie Massey, alias Carrie
Mathaws, alias Emma Johnson, for the
murder of ffm. Evans, Esq., at Summer-
field, six miles from Maoon, on the 14th
of last MaroH.
Carrie was brought into the oourt room
by Sheriff Westcott and took her seat near
the Judge’s dais. Col. Billups and Mr.
Washington Dessau were appointed for the
defense, and though, they had but a slen

The jurors were qualified and took their
seats. A hen the solicitor general ar
raigned the prisoner and asked the ques
tion: “Guilty ornot guilty ?” she respond
ed “Not guilty,” in a tone loud enough to
be heard ail over the oourt-room.
Quite a large crown was in attendanoo.
The murder was one eftbe most brutal
known to the oounty, and that in itself
brought out a full foroe of people who
wished to gratify a cariosity to see the per
petrator of the crime. Carrie is by no
good looking woman. Her eyes

I am eleven years old: was in the store
when Mr. Evans was killed—slept in the
bed with him—in the back room ; saw
Carrie strike a match, and blow out the
candle; she lit the candle f and looked
towards the bed. Mr. Evans and me were
in tbe bed; heard Mr. Evans holler; heard
her strike him ; Mr. Evans hollered, “O
Lordy,” and “O, God ;” heard him strug
gling : heard nothing else; don’t know how
many licks were struck ; there were sever
al ; I didn’t do anything—stayed there tiil
day—didn’t see anybody bnt Carrie when I
went to ran out; I was running to open
front door ; Carrie was in the back room
in the ootton seed. I ran to the front
door; Mr. Tucker told me to open it. I
unlocked it and took the irons away ; it
was propped with a piece of iron; there
were several pieces of iron to prop the door:
the door towards the railroad is the front
door; the side door is toward the shop; I
opened the front door, but don’t know
how long after I beard the licks. Grandma
and a lot of ’em called me; they called Mr.
Evans and then called me. It wasn't very
long after I board the licks that they called
me; they told me to wake np Mr. Evans. I
mean by Carrie, tbe girl in the chair
(pointing to prisoner): 1 saw her before
that night—about two weeks before: she
said her name was Emma Johnson.
Grandma lives about fifty yards from the
store; her name is Harriet Hill. Don’t
krow how Carrie got into the store; was
not there that I know of when I went to
sleep; she went in the front room and bad
a light; looked like she was trying to get
out. After I beard the licks I was too
frightened to do anything.
By the defense.—Saw Carrie two works
before at ‘
also refused to swear out a warrant against
him.
Henry’s statement is that ho went home
drinking, and that whilo lying on tbe bed
fooling with the pistol it went off. He says
he ana his wife had their occasional spats,
bnt nothing of a serious outbreak ever_re-
suited. His neighbors say that wh
rv was drank he was extremely
and ha shot off his pistol merely to fright
en, with' no intention of hitting her.
Tbe ease was tried before Jnstioe Freeman
yesterday, and dismissed on the ground
that the snooting was accidental, there be
ing no positive testimony to the contrary.

not too dark that night to see anybody;
judge from tbe voioes that they were at the
iront door. Mr. Groce was standing at ths
comer: Emma took down the crcsa-tar;
heard her unlock the look and pull the door
wide open. There is no window in thfc
room Mr. E. slept in; there was one iu tfc7

Mr. Carr was not there when we first went
in; don’t think be had got there
then; don’t know exactly the size. I
thought I heard him holler at the first two
licks; then I heard five or six. I looked at
him that morning, bnt did not examine
him; Mr. Tucker told ns not to touch him.
We got the candle from the counter; did
not eee any candle in the room where we
went. Don’t reoollect seeing any table.

we dono when we got into
the store Uncle Henry got the gun:
Mr. Evans always put the gun behind
tho counter. The candle was on the coun

close tbe frontdoor and fixed the irons
like be always done: there were two looks
on the door; when he took the candle to
go to bed be got a drink of water and went
lobed; didnotlook around to see if any
body was iu the store. After the two
o’olock train went down, I saw Carrie bold

and waked up. It was a fanny dream.
When Ifirst waked np I saw Came strike a
match; said nothing to her and she said
nothing to me. She was standing by the

She was on the front side. The head of
the bed was up toward the back of the
store. She struck several matches; struck
and blew them out whenever anybody on
the onteidewould say anything; strask
one before the tick was given; didn’t
have a light long; I saw Carrie when she
struck tho matches; I knew it was her be
