Atlanta. October 27.—The Pledger-Defiance-
Adair libel salt was resumed this morning in the
City Court
A. W. Burnett, tho publisher of the paper, who
spent the night in the dank walls of the old county
Jail, was brought into court Ho looked a trifle
subdued, probably from the effect of his "durance
vile."
Solicitor Glenn put him on the stand and began
casting interrogatories at him in reference to the
authorship of the article as on yesterday. Burnett
again declined to answer and there was a ripple of
admiration In tho denae mas* of dark auditors,
which, as on yesterday, sardincd the little court
room.
Judge Clarke turned toward the witness and in a
very emphatic tone told him that if he did
not answer the questions he would fine him $60 and
remand him to jail for ten days. At this there was
some sensation in the crowd, and scores of white
eyes were turned upon tho witness.
For a time he wavered, as though his mind
oscillating uneasily between the dark walls and his
pocketbook.
HE AXSWEBS THE QUESTION.
Pretty soon he made up his mind to answer the
S uestlons, an J tho majesty ot the law waa asserted.
urnett said that the article was handed in at the
Deflance office with the paper's mail, and while he
did not swear positively that Pledger wrote it, yet
he gave it as his opinion that the hand writing was
Pledger's, and of sequence that be was the culprit.
This was tho gist of what Solicitor Glenn wning
from his unwilling Ups, and was enough to all in*
tents and purposes.
The argument in the case was then begun. Solic
itors Howell Glenn and Charles Hill spoke for tho
prosecution and Judge Wright concluded for tho
prisoner. The latter spoke two hours, and in the
course of his remarks delivered a striking eulogy on
Pledger.
Judge Clark'a charge to the Jury waa very lucid
and forcible.
THEY FIND HIM OUILTT.
The Jury in the Pledger-Defiance suit went out
about 3 o'clock this afternoon, and remained an
hour and a half. The crowd of people, colored and
white, waited -**--*•-
were the spec
be. After a long wait the jury filed in and faced the
court.
1 ‘Gentlemen, have you agreed on a verdict?" asked
Judge Clarke.
••We have," said t te foreman.
“Read it, Mr. Foreman.”
“We, the Jury, find tho de fondant guilty."
Jndg^Clark© th mi stated that he would si
the scuvice until to-morrow morning. The crowd
slowly filed out, and Pledger, without showing the
slightest agitation, took his hat and with his counsel
left tho building. He is on bond. The impression
is that he will be fined heavily, but not imprisoned.
The tlmit in libel cases is $l,uu0, or twelve months.
THE WHISKY FIGHT.
Charged that tho Whisky Men are Giving
Boodle to tho Ncgroe
Atlanta, October 27.—A sub-committee of the
several temperance committees, composed of Messrs.
J. C. Hendlcks, Samuel Inman and Green T. Dodd,
went before the county comiasloners this afternoon
and asked that body to construe the oath which each
man who registers must take, and also requasted the
commissioners to appoint assistant registrars for the
two city districts. Mr. Hendricks, spokesman for
tho sub-committee, represented to the
cornmisnieners that many negroes are simply
paying the (1 poll Ux for last year and registering—
and that they could not rote legally unless they had
paid all taxes required of them since the adoption
of the constitution of ‘77 except of course for this
year. He charged that the whisky men are giving
the negroes money with which to pay their taxes.
The idea in appointing assistant registrars is to have
all the names registered upon the books as they arc
given in. It la claimed that at present ■ the regis
trars take their books home at night and transfer
the names from tho affidavits to the books.
The commissioners discussed these matters—
but reserve their discussion until to-morrow morn
ing at 10 o’clock, when they will reassemble.
Atlanta. October 27.—'The prohibitionists held
meeting in the court house basement to-night. The
hall was crowded and several hundred were unable
to gain admittance. Henry HUl/er, of the Young
Men's Prohibition Club, presided. Dr. Hawthorne
was on the platform. A. D. Freeman, of Newnan,
was the first speaker. Ills address, which was ar
gumentative and temperate, occupied an hour and
a half. Judge George N. Lester followed in
hustings harangue, in which all the c
temperance “property" of ruined homes,
wrecked Uvea, sorrowed wives, wronged children
and lost souls were made do full duty. The Judge
argued that prohibition in Atlanta would do no
harm to business or property. He devoted consid
erable time to abusing all auti-prohibltlonlsts, and
wonnd up his speech with a regular partisan stamp
appeal. Several calls were made tor Dr. Hawthorne,
lie responded briefly in denunciation of all opposed
to prohibition, and dedarud tpat God was on the
side of prohibition. He said the tmsineea interest
of the saloon keeper lies in crime, filth, infamy and
deviltry.
' The next meeting of the club will be at Us rooms
Friday night, which will be an experience meeting.
ward committees except that made in the fourth
ward. The minority report of the fourth ward
committee prevailed, ana Allison Green was de
clared the nominee from that ward in place of
Charley Maddox, who was nominated by the commit- _
tee. The nominations are Jeese Kenyon, first ward;'
I. 8. Mitchell, second ward; Edgar Angler, third
ward; Allison Green, fourth ward; James Bell, fifth
ward, and Dr. H. H. Ray, sixth ward.
Charles Collier was nominated to-night for alder-
man-at-large by the committee of sixty-one. It now
remains for the mass-meeting of citizens soon to be
held to ratify the nominations ratified by the com
mittee of sixty-one. There ia a world
of red tape and joggling in all this
business. Tho big committee waa
held to-night with closed doors, and waa a star-
chamber affair from top to bottom. The people at
large had no say-ao in the seections made, but they
will have the right to sit down on the whole busi
ness at the polls in December, when the election
takes place.
PLEDGER’S FINE.
He Propose* to Go Through tho North on n
Lecturing Tour.
Atlata, October 28.—The City Court did some in

Sued $200 or imprisoned for eight months. The
sentence is suspended for fifteen days in which his
counsel will be allowed to move for a new trial.
Pledger says that he thinks he will pay his fine
without asking for a new trial, though he baa not
decided that point. He also affirms that ho will de

Atlanta, October 27.—Patrouage is doubling
itself on the Governor very rapidly. If it continues

Atlanta, October 27—John E. Bryant several
days ago announced his intention of leaving the city
for a few weeks. I have It from good authority to
night that the Puritans have prevailed upon him to
remain to aid them in controlling the negro votes
for prohibition at the ensuing election. The un
derstanding is that he will receive compensation
for hia services.
Some Fine Stock.
Atlanta, October 27.—Mr. J. II. Wilkins, of
Waynesboro, passed through Atlanta taking with

Senutor Voorhees Addresses a Large and
Enthusiastic Audience.
New York, October 29.— 1 The Democrats
of Brooklyu hail a great ratification meeting
to-night, notwithstanding the night was
perhaps the very worst for the purpose
that October has brought forth. The rain,
which was heavy in the early part of the
evening, came down in torrents at times
later. The Academy of Music was filled to
overflowing with a solid mass of people,
and in the neighborhood everywhere v.vre
overflow meetings. Hon. Daniel Voorhet s,
United States Senator from Indiana, was
the speaker of the evening
in the Academy of Music,
and he was received with deafening chi rs
and clapping of hands, that lasted some
minutes, breaking out anew each time th.it
he seemed about to begin to speak. Quiet
being finally restored, Mr. Voorhees began
his speech by a feeling and elonuent allu
sion to the death of General McClellan.
‘The heart of the nation,” said Mr. Voor
hees, “will beat heavily at his tomb when
he shall be buried, and to-night the cheeks
of many veterans are wet with tears.”
Senator Voerhees began;
I noticed that Oov. Forster, of Ohio, vhen here
in Now York loot week, aaked what haa* the Demo-
eratjc party done to re.tore bniine,. proiperity?
This question auggCRted to toy mind another: What
has tho lteimhlic&u party not done to destroy it?
The Republican party waa driven from power
a year ago almoat on Ita own confes
sion of guilt. I say, though,
that the Democratic party in tho past quarter ot a
century baa not had power to made a tingle law for
tho beueflt o f the country. In the platform of tho
Republican party last year was a lluancial plank
which promised an improvement in the business
interests of the land In the near future. Of all
parties of falsa pretense, none have ever equalled
the promlaee ot the Republican party In
that platform. They promised that
American eubjecta should .not remain
British prisoners aa much as they hod In the poet,
but the people did not believe in the honeyed words
of theee wily politicians, lienee they rebuked the
party at the nolle and elected Grover Cleveland
Prestdeut of the United fitates. The Repuhllcene
claim that they are all honest men. Do you believe
it? Who, pray, were the star route thieve.?—
who were implicated In the Credit Mo-
biller fraud? —if not theoo ' same
honest Republicans. So much for the Republican
party. Now let ue look at our own party. We have
not been In power very long, bnt even in that short
time ore liaye done something. Give ne a respecta
ble let-gth ot time, say about twelve years, for 1
think (hat is about the period we want, and we will
show the eitiaene whet we can do toward bringing
about an bonest and efficient administration of the
government. [Applause.]
Tho 8outh Is Increasing rapidly In prosperity.
Eight million'- bales of cotton have been produced
south of Mason and Dllon'a line during the pres-
sent lesson. There should now be no sectional
feeling between the North and South.
The speaker alluded eloquently to Her.
Henry Ward Beecher’s address upon Grant
in Tremont Temple, in Boston, in which
he said that the death of that hero had
closed up the last furrow of the war and ac
cursed be the hand which should open
it again. [This allusion brought out from
the audience tnmultons rounds of applause.]
“Let the South have a chnneo,” said Sir.
Voorhees, “and her fields will blossom with
harvests and prosperity will attend her
ways." [Another round of applause.] Mr.
Voorhees soon after closed.
The other speakers gave their attention
to the local candidates.

You follow him home to supper and down

everybody he speaks with and every lady to
whom ho bows. You must stay with him
till he goes to bed, and then write out your

lie Dies Suddenly at Hie Home of Heart
Disease.
Newark, N. J., October 29.—Gen. Geo.
B. McClellan died suddenly at his residence
Orange Mountain at about midnight Inst
night, from heart disease.
Newark, N. J., October 29.—Gen. Mc
Clellan’s summer home was on the summit
of Orange Mountain, next to that of hia
father-in-law, Gen. Marcy. The whole
community was shocked by the news of
his death. Flogs ore Hying nt half-mast
and the Grand Army post has called a meet

guard for tho remains. Arrangements for
the funeral have not yet been made. Gen.
McClellan was an elder in the Presbyterian

General McClellan died shortly after mid
night last night from neuralgia of tho heart

his trip West with his family, and hail been
under tho care of physicians for about two
weeks. Nothing action” »*pected until
yesterday, when he became worse. He died
surrounded by his family at 8k Clond, Or
ange Mountain, where he had lived for
about twenty years. Invitations had been
issued for a reception tills evening.
New You a, October 29.—At General Mc
Clellan’s office in this city only the mere
news of his demiso had been received. He
bad been failing for months, and had not
visited tliq office fur two weeks, though it
was uot expected that his illness would ro-

the former just completing his education.
As soon as the news spread tbronghont the
city, great sorrow was expressed at the
General’s death. Flags on pnblic buildings
were placed at half-mast.
Loxdox, October 29.—The Standard
says; Tho death of Gen. McClellan re
moves another prominent figure of the civil
war. He, however, was not fortunate. He
bad the ill luck to be politically opposed to
President Lincoln, and therefore did
not receive the necessary support
General McClellan’s glory wet short

THE ART OF SHADOWING.
The Iteinarknhle Skill of Some Girls In
the Treasury Department.
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
There is a very large amount of counter
feit paper afloat, and some of it finds its
way to the treasury, when it is discovered
in the redemption division. It is here that
all the money sent in from outside sources
counted and examined. The counting
and sorting is done by ladies and they arc
the most expert in the country. They can
tell a counterfeit instinctively, with eyes
open or shut, and there is not a bank
cashier in the United States, or even
among the large coutingcnt now sojourn
ing in Canada, who could compete with
them in the matter of determining counter
feits. They can tell a spurious bill as far
ns they can see it, and the mere handling
of tho paper is enough for them to deter
mine upon its genuineness. The silk pa
per upon which treasury notes are printed
can only be made by expensive machinery,
and it is a felony to even manufacture the
blank paper without due authority. Under
the circumstances all counterfeits are print
ed upon inferior paper, which lends this
great facility in the matter of detection.
A gnido was once taking a party of visi
tors throngh the redemption division, and
was expatiating upon the oxpertness of the
fair money-handfers in this respect. He
solemnly assured the party that one of tho
girls had detected a counterfeit in the mid
dle of a pile of money six inches thick by
merely seeing the thin edge of it. This im
aginative public servant has been discharg
ed under a reform administration, but af
ter all it was only an exaggeration of a
demonstrated fact. To a stranger it seems
more like diablery than the possession
of trained vision and a delicate sense
of tonch in the detection of counterfeits.
These female experts recoivo $75 a moiSh
for their services. They do nothing but
count from 9 in the morning untill 4 in the
afternoon, and tneir hands move withn
rapidity seldom acquired by the most ex
pert bank clerks. But they mako no mis
takes. A miscount or a counterfeit over
looked comes out of the wages of tho one
making the error, and two or three mis
takes a month would wipe out n girl’s
salary, as some of the hills handled nre very
^Thc great drawback of tho position is the
poison absorbed bo tbe continuous hand
ling of money. Tho bocks of all t-easury
notes ore printed with a pigment which con
sists chiefly of pans green. Small particles
of this substance are absorbed, and in a
year or two the girl who may have entered
the treasury smooth-skinned and healthy
finds herself a victim of lassi
tude and with her hands and face broken
out in malignant sores. Each employe is
furnished with a spongo to moisten the
fingers while counting. A new one is sup
plied every morning, and by evening its
color will hove changed to a dull black by
the action of tho poison. Notwithstanding
this drawback, there is never any diffleuty
in filling vacancies.

my dear fellow, you musn't laugh, you

Yon see, in the first place, I bay a number

but it has taken immensely here. Y’on see,

•Shallowing," says a Chicago detective,
‘is the most difficult and the most scientific
work in my profession. In all his great
case* Allan Pmkerton depended mainly on
what he learned by shadowing. If a man
is well shadowed for two weeks so much
can be discovered concerning his habits,
his associates, his inclinations, his secret
acts, in short of his inner life, that almost
a perfect biography of him can be written.
Every man does many characteristic things
when he thinks he U alone that
he never would do in company, and
the ‘shadow’ learns a man’s true char
acter by witnessing bis natural life. More
people than yon imagine have been ‘shall
owed,’for the information of both friends
and enemies. Many curions, and some
times suspicious, wives have their husbands
‘shadowed,’ and many a husband has locked
np in his office desk a mirror of his wife's
private life in the form of a ‘shadow's’ re

nent in business, potitici or religion has
been ‘shadowed, 1 and there ia somewhere

“Every man connected with a bank, from

Georgia Chili Itemedy
Chills and feren hare for yean affected thou
sands, and will continue to do so until the merits of
' »Georgia Chill Remedy become known. Thin
ie no patent humbug nostrum, but the result of the
. ie nee of a quarter of a century ia compound
ing and manufacturing drugs tn our Southern cli
mate. I bare cured myself and thousands of oth
ers of chronic chills after they had fora longtime
resisted tb* efforts of able physicians and quinine
had ceased to bare any effect. Unebottlo in all
cases of lees than six mouths standing will effect a
permanent core. In that time a sufferer would
■pend double the amount for quinine and yet not be
cured. 1 append a few certificate* showing what it
hae accomplished—thousands gould he obtained if
dertrod.
