Judge Dunne’s court pleaded guilty to °f which J. T. Beard, hospital ap- |
the crime of extortion, the felony for
which he was to have been tried by
the Jury already selected. In plead-
|Rf guilty he made an Impressive ad
dress to the Judge, stating that he had
commenced his career In politics with
high Ideals for himself and for the
city, but that conditions had broken
him down, and he now desired only an
opportunity to make reparation and
restore his character before the world.
After he concluded his address he fell
back Into his chair, almost fainting. 1
and tears coursed down his cheeks. I
His health, he said, could not endure
the strain of the trial which he was
facing, and the torture was beyond
the endurance of those who were near
est and dearest to him. Before Ruef
arose his attorneys. Heney Aeh. Sam

a grave difference of opinion with their

nearest and dcrest to me Is under
mining (hem. They are on the verge
of collapse Their lives hang In the
balance and I must take some oction.”
Ruef, who evidently was laboring
under great emotion, after pausing a
moment, continued:

"VV A ? KING TON, May 15.—A memo
randum bearing on the removal of
Postmaster A. M. Hughes, a: Colum
bia, Tenn., and the appointment of
John W. Jackson, the assistant post-
! master, in his place, was made public
| at the White House today. According
to this statement Mr. Hughes denied
the correctness of a report of a special
agent who recommended his removal
for neglect of duty. The case was re
opened and another special agent, who
had not previously visited Columbia,
was sent there to make a special can
vass of the situation and report on the
question as to whether or not Hughes
had been faithful to his duties as post
master. The White House memoran
dum says:
''The special agent designated for
this purpose, G. G. Thompson, appears
to have made a most thorough inves
tigation. interviewing not only the va
rious employes of the postoffice, but a
large percentage of its patrons. As a
result of this investigation Mr. Thomp
son reaffirmed the findings of the first
report and renews the recommenda
tion for the postmaster’s removal.
"In concluding his report on the
postmaster, he says: ’To briefly sum
up the situation. I found that Col.
Hughes unquestionably has made false
statements to the department and that
he has been utterly unfaithful to his
duties as postmaster. I am thoroughly
convinced that the best interests of
the Government demand his > removal
from office. It is entirely manifest to
me that Col. Hughes regards his posi
tion of postmaster as a sinecure, pure
and simple, a species of pension, and a
reward for past alleged political activi
ty. He appears to have the impres
sion that no work should be required
of him. Furthermore. I found that the
people of Columbia, the patrons of the
office, do not want Col. Hughes as
postmaster.’ ’’
The memorandum also says that
Special Agent Thompson, as a result
of his inquiries, reached the conclu
sion that "probably 90 per cent” of the
patrons of the office were in favor of
Jackson’s appointment and that "it
would appear that from the time of
his appoinment as assistant postmas
ter, over four years ago, he has actual
ly conducted the office, being entitled

In behalf of the board of trustees of
the Georgia Academy for the Blind.
Judge John L. Hardeman, a member
of the board, will deliver the hand-
rome new academy building to the
Governor, as the representative of the
State, at the exercises of laying the
corner stone, which will probably oc
cur some time next month. The fact
that Judge Hardeman will make an
address on this auspicious occasion
suggests the mention—a very inter
esting coincidence—that his father, the
’ate Thomas Hardeman, was the ora
tor. on July 5. 1S5S, at the ceremony of
lav’nsr the corner stone of the academy
building which stood on College street,
and which has been recently sold and
dismantled for the purpose of erecting
a larger and more suitable structure.
This address by Hon. Thomas Harde
man was the first speech that his son.
Tudge John L. Hardeman, ever heard
him deliver. And now. after the lapse
of about fifty years, son follows sire
and will make an address on an occa
sion identical with that at which his
father spake so enchantingly in the
presence of two thousand people: and
at the close of nearly a half century
of time the son finds himself a trustee
of the Institution the corner stone of
whose first regular building was laid
amid the melodies of an elonuenca as
enrapturing as the music of the lyre
of Orpheus. In addition to the large
audience of civilians that witnessed
the laying of the first corner stone
there were present the Masonic frater-.
nitv. under whose auspices the cere
monies were conducted: the Odd Fel
lows. military companies, the fire de
partment. the Supreme Court, the
Mayor and Council and other dignita
ries. I understand that the corner
stone of the new building will be laid
with imposing exercises.

The Legislature of 1854 appropriated
S10.000 for the purchase or e»-p C tion of
buildings for the Georgia Academy for
the Blind. Of this sum 87.000 was
spent in the ptirchase of the residence
and lot. the lot being two acres, of
Mr. Charles Cotton, on College street.
The General Assembly of 1855 appro
priated $20,000 and the General As
sembly of 1857 appropriated $35,000,
making a total of $55,000. for the erec
tion of a new academy, the one which
has been recently sold and torn down.
By authority of the Legislature this
nroperty was disposed of for $"0,000.
Twenty acres of land, in Vinevlile. a
short distance from the city limits,
were bought for $10,000 on which to
erect the handsome building which is
nearly completed. This purchase of
ground left on hand a balance of $40.-
000, which the Legislature supple
mented last year with an appropriation
of $65,000. making a toal of $105,000 to
erect and equip new building, con
struct a sewer and make other im
provements. The grounds and build
ings, independent of general equip
ments and furnishings, represent an
expenditure of about $90,000. Tho in
stitution will be the most complete
and up to date ncademv for the blind
that exists in the Southern country.
It is an honor to the nhilanthropy and
benevolence of the State of Georgia,
