Executive and other warrantn for same period have been Indited and approved by me for moneys drawn from the treasury, amounting to $1,441,. *38.19, and the treasurer credited therewith.

An examination of table No. 17—au exhibit of the various tax oollectora of the State— will show that the taxes of the State have beeu promptly paid, there being ouly sloven dollars and thirty cents tax of 1884 still unpaid. It will ba observed that I have found it necessary to iasua but a faw A. fa*., aud when 1 have done so it h as been from a sense of duty; knowing that the amounts in most cases rep resented by those A. fee. were balances for which proper vouchers bad not been sent to this office to ba credited to the accounts of the tax collectors The amount of insolvent general tax. as shown by a large majority of these accounts, is exceedingly email, taking Into eonalderation the amount of such tax levied. SCHOOL FUND, We levy no tax upon property for the purpose of raising an educational fund, yet It Is gratifying to And this fund Increasing from year to year. There was In the treasury, to tbs credit of such fund, June SO, HW6, $333,576.84. This amount la derived from tax on liquor dealers, one-half rental ot the Western and Atlantic railroad, tax on shows, dividends from ■took of Georgia railroad owned by the State, net hire of convicts, sod fees arising from inspection of fertilizers.

They found him holding Jim McCoy, the alleged murderer of Captain Kellett, close to the ground. McCoy was soon handcuffed. They returned to the bouse and arrested Kim McCoy. . Deputy Campbell aays two men left the crib at the same im( . When he grabbed McCoy the other ran. It is believed he wav Jim Wiley, who is also wanted as the accomplice of McCoy in tbe murder of Kellett. The party went oveT to Eliaa' house. There Mar ■hal Nelms and his party bad under arrest Elias McCoy and auother brother, and Matt Chumner, who had been wanted on a bench v arrant for illicit work for three years. When the marshal's party had surrounded Elias' house, the marshal entered ed the house. There he found Cbutuuer in he«l. McCoy was up. The marshal told Chumner to get up and dress, which Chumner decliued to do un til the marshal bsd sighted his ritb-'at hiiii.wb»n he proceeded hastily to dress. Whilo he had both r these under his rifle, the third brother arrived at * J< front door. Deputy Murphy told him he could not enter. McCoy whipped out his knife and raised It at Murphy. Before he could plunge it Mandial Nvli'is, who had him also in liue of his rifle, commanded him to bald. Mr Coy stouce cognized his enib*rra<-ir.g circumstances and sheathed his kulfe. The four brothers aud Matt Chumner were taken to Canton. There the Mar shal disarmed the three brothers of Jim McCoy, and with tbe latter aud Chumner the party camo to Atlanta, where they arrived about 11 o'clock this morning CAPTAIN SKLLKTT'S MURDRtt. It was on Bundsy, the Gth day of December, that Captain Kellett. while in custody of a man named Youug, waa killed. On the 16th of January, Mar shall Nelms detailed Deputy Garrison to work up the caae. Immediately after the murder, which occurred in Walker county, McCoy aud Wiley eaped to Alabama, where, according to McCoy, they have lived ever since. When McCoy was on the ears he asked Marshal Nelms how he found him so quick. Held McCoy: "I had not been In Georgia two hours when you caught me. I bad not even seen my wife, and I have not seen her yet." Nelina’a reply was: "1 knew the instant you struck Georgia grit." Which la no little compli ment to deputy Oarrison's shrewdness. McCoy waa Indicted when a young man for mur der In Barbour county. There are now several in dictments xgainst him in Cherokee county, being for rape. I saw him to-day. Ue Is about thirty-four yearn old, six feet tall, lithe and powerful. He is married, and he hae five children. Since the shooting of Kellett, his wife and children moved to Chtrokee, and lived with ot near one ot the brothers. He la fanner. 11a was arrested on a visit to his wife aud children whom he has not yet seen. T11X VXKLIMINART HKABINO. He will have a hearing Thursday. The main wit ness againat him will doubtless be Young. wIio.wsh in Kellott's custody when tbo murder occurred. The McCoy's are a largo family lu Bartow and Cbvrokte. It will be difficult to get witnesses agsinst Jim. Mr. Fite, a deputy collector of inter nal revenue, who la from Bartow, told your corres pondent to-day that Jim McCoy Is a brave man, kind hearted, but unrelenting to enemies, hoped McCoy would have a fair trial. McCoy bad done a good deal of illicit work, but he and bis family are wall liked in Cherokee and Bartow. Jim McCoy Is the man who Bill Arp said In pub lic print he hoped would escape, because In early life Capt. Kellett bad shot him or his brother tu the heel when he waa trying to escape frura arrest ou warrant which Kellett had against him.

Tucker arose extended bis hand to Dr. Hawthorne. The hand Dr. Tucker was not shaken, aud no explanation followed. This matter soon became known among Baptists, and it was a general theme of diacuaslon. Tucker is a roan who tolerates no sham. Home weeks ago a prominent preacher seeing Dr. Tucker In bta congregation singled him out and aaid: Will brother Tucker please lead ua In prayer, i will do nothing of the kind,” promptly replied Dr. Tucker, who afteiw aids explained that he ex pected to be eingled out in a largo congregation In •uch a way.

IN FAVOR OF HIGH LICENSE. Strong Words From Chief Justice Dsvls and Dr. Howard Crosby. New York Tribune. Chickering Hall was about half, filled last evening at a mass-meeting in the interest of the high license bill proposed by the Church Temperance Society aud the Society for the Prevention of Crimp. It provides for a li- censo fee of $1,000 for the sale of intoxicat ing liqnors in every city of 30,000 popula tion; for smaller cities a graduating scale is presented. Chief .Justice Noah Davis presided, and introduced his remarks ns chairman with a testimonial to John B. Gough, who, he said, stood with him only a few weeks before in Chickering Hull to welcou-o Archdeacon Farrar. -•There aro two propositions before ns,” he continued in substance. “One ia for absolute prohibition and tho other is for partial prohibition. I believe that when ever absolute prohibition can be enforced nnd substituted that is wbat is needed and no other remedy can equal it. [Applause. ] But we Hve in n city with a million and a half of inhabitants, who speak in forty or fitly different districts. If by any reasona ble effort we could secure in this city tbe absolute prohibition of tbo^salo of intoxi cating drinks, I wonld use all my efforts to secure it. [Applause.] The Legislature will by no means give us such a law. Neither political party has virtue enough to recommend it. What hope is there, then, for a law of that character? None, As reasonable beings, when wo ure seeking to prevent a tremenduons evil sha’l we re fuse to do anything to alleviate that evil? Some say, give ns prohibition or give ns ‘free rum.’ -Free rum' means in New York E andemoninm. Assuming that wo had pro- ibition I do not believe that it conld be en forced in this city because of tho inadequacy of tho courts, the incapacity of officials. No juries wonld convict if indictments were found because public sentiment to-day is not strong enough to stand behind and en force prohibition. We never will have that public sentiment nntil tho women have the right of suffrage. The power of the liquor interest in this city sends a majority every year to the board of aldermen who deal in Broadway railroads and other buainess.” Ex-Governor Chamberlain wns next intro- dneed by Justice l)nvis. He presented a resolution approving the bill and spoke in its snpport. The resolution was unani mously adopted. A resolution authorizing tho chairman to appoint a committee of 2U to nrgo the consideration of the bill on the excise committee at Albany was presented by General Wager Swnyne. Dr. Crosby seconded this resolution, saying in part: “We have to regard in making any law tho honest opinion of three classes of citizens, just as good citizens as we are, no matter what may be oar prejudices. The first class are those who go to a hotel and who expect to take a gloss of wiDe there os they do at home. The second are business men who drink a glass of wine at tlie restanrant with their lunches as they do at home. The third class are the poorer men who take their beer in the middle of the day as wo take our coffee at breakfast. To these belong our German citizens who are some of the best and moat honest of people. We mnst, as lawmakers, have the aid of all good citizens who will join ns as these will in potting down the grog shops.

Cnptain Coniin, of tho city hull, and Cap tain McCuHagh, ot the Sixth l'recinct, who both aerved many years in the vicinity of llligh bridge, say that in the past twen ty years numerous attempts at self-destruction have been mado by jumping from tho bridge, but until now uo fatal case was reported. A wealthy Merris- ania lady, siill living, jumped from the bridge fifteen years ago during a tit of tem porary insanity. At long intervals sIdco then other reckless persons have courted death there, and the impression l aving be come general that High Bridge was nut fa vorable for snicule, recent attempts in that line have been abandoned. Captain Couliu said recently; “Persons who seek death by an act of apparent dariug generally like to have witnesses present, snd for this reason High Bridge will never become a popular stamping-ground for suicides whobuvo lofty ideas, especially duriug tbe winter season, when it is pract cally deserted." “Tho point troui which Mrs. Iimnchn descended,” said a professional acrobat, “was 190 feet aliovc the river s surface, hut her death does not prove by uny means that a jump from High bridge into the river will prove fntal under ordinary circum stances. It must he rememliered that the woman did not throw herself into the v ater, but on the top of aiheet of ice three inches thick, which is a very different thing. 1 hold that a man or woman in ordinary con dition can make the jump without imperil ing either life or brndth.” Robert Donaldson, who worts at Lb trade as haruessmaker in Warren street, this city, made two successful jam us froml High Bridge in Angnst, 1880. He is credit ed also with making a jump of M0 fe<.t from the royal yard of the frigate Charity, in tbo Mersey. Sam Patch, who was killed by a 125 feet jump over tho Genesee Falls, was drunk, and to this fact his death is at tributed. Before Robert Emmett Odluc! leaped from the Brooklyn Bridge he inode six very high jumps, each over 100 feet. Soon after his death an acrobct named Frank Lieingston lumped from High Bridge and escaped uninjured. A siiiguF •lory, which comes from the Rocky Moun tains, tells of a miner ivbo, when stung by an adder, jumped iu his agony from a bluff 185 feet high into the canon, through which a deep stream flowed, and escaped unhurt.
