I tion of my motives and conduct, as tne 12301 executive of Georgia, in placing the state's j indorsement upon the bonds -of the North eastern railroad.

To a man ICC I who values his good name far more than life, it would be an act of supreuiest injus- rice to deny the most plenary vindication, 1077 I rendered in the most august and authorita tive form known to the laws or to public opinion. To the people of this great com monwealth it is of the last consequence that they should know .beyond all peradvemure that the man who tills, at their call, the chief seat of authority Is above reproach or circuits could be reduced only as to the one- half of the whole number who are to be fleeted at this session of the legislature.

Mr. Sibley, of Richmond, offered a resolu tion, as a substitute for tlie whole, that the sense of the house be that the judicial cir* cuits remain as they are now. Mr. t'ox, of Troup, sjpoke in favor of the ubstitute. The resolution demands the absolute reduction of the cir cuits, while the substitute merely ap- IMiints a committee to consider the proprie ty of such a reduction. His remarks were pointed and pithv. Mr. Yancey, of Clarke, moved to amend the substitute hv adding the words ???accord ing to the constitution;*??? so that the pro mised committee shall act in accordance ith the provisions of the constitution on the subject of reducing the judicial circuits.

I understand that Madame Arnaud, with the consent of her children, has agreed to settle a thinl of the 40,- OOOjOuO franc- that Madame Guichard has bestowed on her to her future husband. She has a ton and a daughter. The latter is iuarrie I to a cavalry officer, and has a little girl called Leonie, after. Gambetta. To see her is to love and respect her. Her life haa been spotless, and her virtues much more than negative.

When she came into the house, at about 7:30 o???clock, she went to her room, and was bit terly weeping when a servant apjieared. Be fore her was a revolver. Tlie servant came near taking it from her, but thinking she liad it there for personal protection in case her room was broken open hv- a burglar, did not do so. At nine i??. m. a single shot was heard. But little attention was paid to it It was supjmoed to liave teen on the street No one seemed disposed to investigate it except the same servant, who went to the front and, seeing no crowd outside, was about to return to her quarters in the rear, when she heard a groan which evidently came from the room occupied by Mrs. Lang. When she reached the door of Mrs. Lang** room and opened it the apartment was dark. In a low agoniz- X voice, Mrs. Lang said, ???Raise me op; me up!??? The servant not knowing what had hap]>ened, responded, ???Ob, no; I can???t do it??? Mrs. Lang then jumped into a ted and covered herself with the clothing, and commenced to cry In a muffled voice, Oh, don???t tell any one.??? Hie servant then lighted the lamp and discovered fhe revolver, which now lay on the floor. ???Wliat have you done???? she asked of Mra. Lang. ???Shot myself; l don???t know why I should have done it; I must have been mad???out of niy mind. Oh, it is so terrible!??? and again she wept aloud. The servant took tlie light to the bed and sow the wound, from which the blood was steadily jxiuring. ???What made you do it?*??? asked the ser vant. ???Troubles! troubles!! trouble*!!!??? she exclaimed in utter despair. ???lie was tlie cauac of it. It was he that drove me to it.??? A messenger was immediately dispatched for a surgeon, and during the interval before his arrival the woman said she was engaged to a man named John McKinney, who bad promised her he would not- walk, nor ride, nor visit a certain woman. She had that afternoon seen liim riding with her. From that time she was miserable, wretched. She took a gold watch which McKinney had loaned her and pawned it for a revolver, deter mined to kill him first and then to put an end to her own existence. She had been out looking for him but could find btm nowhere. Upon her return to her room she grew almost crazed with grief.
