Appointed by the judge to defend the prisoners,
while the state’s interests is in the bands of
the able solicitor, Colonel James H. Guerry.
The prisoners havebeeh indicted separately,
and one of the men twice, which will consume
several doys in disposing of thoir cases. One
of the men and the two women have already
Iccn found guilty of assault with intent to
murder .Tease Oliver. They have not yet boon

any statement. The solicitor has not, at this
writing, taken up any of tho evidence in con
nection with the attempt to murder Mr. Joe
Oliver. This part of the trial will probably
come up today. A largo number of jurors are
in attendance.
Dublin Post: William H, Hayes, colored, of
Montgomery county, brought a bale of sea is
land cotton to this market last Saturday, tho
first hale of the kind that has been brought
here since the oldest merchants went into bus
iness, and probably the first that was ever
brought here for salo. Not one of our cotton
buyers was willing to risk his judgment ou the
grado of It. It is quoted in Savannah from 13
to 21 cents and it would have been a risk on
the part of the purchaser, not knowing its
grade, if ho had paid a stipulated amount
therefor. It was left in charge of J. R. High
tower A Son for shipment. Hayes informed us
that ho planted four acres which yielded ono
and a half bales. Of course there is more labor
attached to the cultivation of it, but where the
land is adapted to its growth there ismoro
money in the long than tho short staple cotton.
