May; and the auretiea on the second bond, ex-Oovernor James M. Smith, Col. Abda Johnson and Gen. A. It. Lawton. ’The ex-marshal was represented by Col. Broyles, who also appeared as tounael for W. A. Hemphill and tho Howells. Hon. Adolph Brandt appeared as counsel for Hon. Patrick Walah, Capt. Harry Jackson for Gen. A. It. Lawton, and Col. ltuaaell of Columbus for Governor Smith, who waa also present. The government waa represented by Die- trict-Attorney Hill aud Gen. Phillips of Marietta, who has been retained aa special counsel. Robert U. May of Augusta, who waa on the first bond and a party to the suit, had been served with notice, put in no appearance. CoL Abda Johnson, who was the bond, is dead, and the estate baa not been made • party. The first point In the case was one whioh cam# up yesterday and was ruled on by Judge McCay. It appears that soon after Col. Fitzsimona went into the office of Marshal, he retained the law firm of McCay it Trippe as counsel and paid them a fee of $100, which he charged up pro rata to his depu ties. The deputies interested through the govern ment counsel have entered objection to Judge Trippe as auditor, claiming that ho is*disqualified. This was overruled yesterday by Judge McCay. This morning Judge Trippe stated that while he was satisfied that under the law disqualification exists, still, person ally, he would prefer to be relieved, if the counael would agree upon some one else as auditor. After some little discussion, in which it appeared that the Judge enjoyed tho full confidence of every one ooncerued, the point waa abandoned and the case proceeded. District Attorney Hill resd the declara tion in which the government sues the ex-Msrshal snd his sureties on the bond for $30,000, claiming that he retained, during bis term as Marshal, from the receipts of the offleo a large sum in excess of the emolument allowed by law. Mr. Russell, counael for Gov. Smith, who Is on the second bond, filed a demurrer on the grounds that there are two separate actions on two separato bonds, involving two aeparste contracts, whereas the suit can only be on one bond, aud that there is a misjoinder of parties. Captain Jackson, for Gen. Lawton, also on the second bond, filed a further demurrer on the ground that the government u seeking to hold all the bordsxnen jointly liable, at the same time it appears that one of the bondsmen, the late Col. Abda Johnson, through his legal rep resentative, has not been made a party to the suit. The other bondsmen cannot be proceeded against jointly unless all are brought bf fore the court. The counsel for the government bere interposed objection, cltlmitig thst an auditor cannot pass upon a demurrer. As there seemed no disposition delay the proceedings or throw the case out of the court, it waa agreod that the demurrers be Im mediately referred to Judge McCay for discussion before going further. CoL Broyles also filed a de murrer at tbla point, on behalf of the ax-marshal and the sureties represented by liim, but it not read, but will bo presented in Judge McCay this afternoon. The heating before the auditor waa adjourned to 0 o’clock to-morrow. It le ex pected the demurrers will be argued before Judge McCay this afternoon, if he le not otherwise en gaged. The case promisee to be an interesting one in many respects, and there is likely to be tome warm feeling developed before it Is tsrminated. Before adjournment Col. Fittslxnoue, in his own behalf, to show thst the euit was Instituted at hia own request, read a letter to that effect written by Comptroller Durham of tba Treasury Department. He expresses confidence that ths salt will result in his favor and bring about a satisfactory adjustment of hia accounts, which he has been seeking since his retirement from office. Thle afternoon, in Chambers, Judge McCay heard the argument of counsel In the demurrers filed this morning before the auditor in tha FlUslmoas case. After the arguments the Judge intimated very strongly that the demurrers would all be over ruled, but he would reserve decision until Friday. It la generally understood by counsel that this will be the result, and oa that Idea the case will pro ceed before the auditor to-morrow. Nelms mid llenfroe in the Field for Gordon. Atlanta, May 15.—-Your correspondent Las been informed that a Gordon caucus was held In this city day before yesterday, at which a large number of the clans of the valley were present. The Con stitution, which asserts thst it will publish the news during the campaign, but which does not publish the news, except so far as it may be in favor of General Gordon, gives the names of a number of gentlemen who wore present. Why did not the Conatitutiou mention all of the promt nent men who were present. It stated that Dr. Spalding, Dr. Miller and others were presen but failed to mention others whose names might have attracted public Interest I understand that in this caucus Postmaster Itenfroe and United States Marshal Nelms were prominently p esent. What part these officials took In ihe proceedings or the formulating of the platform I do not know; but it is enough that they were present. This is the more significant, since the bosses at Washington city have bestirred themselves because It was feer- M that Collector Crenshaw was in favor o' Bacon for Governor. If it is true th«t Itenfroe and Nelms were in this caucus, it may be well to find out just what position they are occupying in this campaign. While it is sll light for an official to have his individual prefer ence for Governor, at the same time it is not con sidered all right that a henchman of the ring, who hav been put into a fat office, shall use that office for tbe advancement of the claims for office of any mem ber of its ring. It is conceded that J. W. Renfroe and J. W. Nelms have a right to their preference for Governor, but is it conceded thaw Postmaster Rtn- froe and Marshal Nelms have a right to go into a Gordon caucus, aud by their presence lend an air of official support to his candidacy? It is well known that both of these officials have a great deal of patronage, and if it is used in a partisan way it might work greatly to the Injury of one or the other of the candidates.

One of them, whose county Is almost a nnlt for Bacon, said this morning he would undoubtedly (et a majority of the delega tions from tbe Seventh and Ninth Congressional districts.

He poke highly of Gsn. Gordon's record aa a soldier, but the circumstances of hiacsndUlacy make it Im possible to support him.

A very dndlsh negro named Miles McWhorter bad escorted a good-looking yellow girl to a nickel party in West Atlanta early in the eve ning. For some reason she concluded not to go home with Miles, bnt accepted company of another negro, Aaron Oann. They started home at a very late hour. When they reached the Junction of Maple and Chapel two negroes halted them, and one said: Where have yon been?” Gann replied that they were returning from a party, and started on, when pounced upon him and hurled him to the ground. A whistle was then blown, and in less than two minutes sixteen other negro men appeir- ed upon the scene. They took from Gann's pock ets a pistol, watch and chain and one dollar in money. Miles McWhorter was one of the gong. He said ‘Let's kill the scoundrel,” and the crowd seemed ready to do tbs bb-ody work. Gann plraded for hia life, and as a last resort gave the sign of Odd Fellowship. Ubera Odd Fellow In tbe gang, and he waa allowed to take Gann aside and talk to him. He said: ••Get away from bere as fast you can, or these men will murder yon.” • Miles McWhorter yelled: "Odd Fellow or no Odd Fellow, we’ll kill him anyhow,” and the gang started after Gann, who took to bia heels, and by good running got away and reported the affair to tho police. Capt. Hassell and Officer Dick Clarke took hold of the case this mrmlrg, and by 10 o’clock bad ar rested Henry Hobbs, one of the gang. Qann’i pistol waa found on Hobbe's person. He was booked for carrying ccnccaled weapons and for highway robbery. ________ Dr. Cary Under Bond.
