Oattts and another gentleman, whose name we did not, learn, yesterday captured two of the negroes—John Barker and Robert Wesley—who escaped from the jail Tuesday afternoon. They were on a country wagon, near Bull creek, leav ing the city. They tvoro of a party of four or live arrested a fow weeks ago, charged with cotton stealing. There aro eight of the escaped prisoners still at large, for which the County Com missioners have oiTerod $135 reward—s3o for Frank Madden, and sls each for ttie others. Mr. Johnson, the jailor, has offer ed an additional reward of S2O for Frank Madden. A Kctn'a Throat Cut. Ywstei'day a negro man who hail sold his cotton in the city was enticed across the upper bridge by a whito man unknown to him—and whose name we could not learn—under the pretense of giving him specie for greenbacks, and, who, when on the other side grabbed the negro’s pock et-book and runoff. The negro overtook him, and the white man then commenced to cut him about the neck and throat and would, doubtless, have killed him, if he had not been taken of by some gentlemen of Marshall. Or. Palmer dressed the wound and the uegru return or i this side to hie wagon, where he was again pro fessionally attended by Or. O. W. John ston. Another version of the story Is they were gambling and the fight grew out of the game. Personal. We were glad to receive a call yesterday from Or. Charles B. Leituer, of Geneva. The Doctor Is proposing to locate in Co lumbus, and was looking around for an office. Standing among the very first In his profession, and being a most pleasant gentleman in social life,- and having a family that would add anew charm to our community, we extend to him a most cordial welcome. General Lawton, who has been in the city two or three days, attending Court, left for Savannah last night. Mr. Willis Harris, an old-time resident of Ooluiuhus, but for many years past residing at Albany and Fort Valley, Is on a -visit to his brothers, Hon. W. B. Harris of Girard, and Mr. J. C. Harris of this city. Vagrant*. Idler* and Vagabonds Columbus has not boan so heavily stock ed with the above classeS of population since we have known it, as it seems to be at this time. Every street Is full of them, white, black, and both sexes. How do they live? iVAere do they live? Many of them never do an hour's useful work, and none of them have any visible means of support, yet they live, and have no troubling cares about the future—even though the future points through guard houses, jails and chain gangs, to the penitentiary or gallows. Can’t something be done to scat ter, U not to utilize these pests? The little episode in the history of the negro whose throat was nearly fatally cut yesterday, must impress good citizens with the importance of getting rid of some of these vagrauhi, Idlers and vagabond*.

FHKIJ.IIINARY TRIAL ON aiDEii. court scenes—crawpord peopi.e -our OPIXJOX OF WHAT THE DECISION With BE. Tho Investigation of the Lyon murder was resumed yesterday morning at Craw ford. The evening previous tho investi gation proceeded, and the Court held a night session. The State having gone through with Its testimony, yesterday was spent In Interrogating the defend ant’s witnesses. We judge from the small number of spectators present yestorday, compared with those in attendance for the first two days, that the excitement, over the case basahatod. It is yet difficult to form an estimate of public opinion. We eonvorsed with some of tho leading men of tho placo, and while wo found many nnaitorsbly convinced of Mrs. Lyon’s guilt., we found more than an equal number satisfied of her innocence. Ileneo it Is that we, as a public journalist, aro unable to satisfac torily answer the oft-propounded ques tion: “Whatdo you think ,if it?” If we were forced to answer, however, we would say that tho evidenco against Mrs. Lyon, as introduced, does not warrant a convic tion for this heinous offence ; and we may state, that some unprejudiced parties con sider her not guilty. Mrs. Lyon was raisod and bred about Crawford, and somo men reason that her statement of her innocence, as published In tho Times, Is at least as good as the confession of a doubtful stranger, that Meinika is. THE DECISION as you will see further in the testimony is not concluded, the defense having yet more witnesses to Introduce, and the State a number in rebuttal. After care fully looking Into the case, we are of the opinion that Meinika will be placed In jail, Mrs. Lyon required to give bond, and Mr. and Mrs. Davis released. This opinion Is based upon the law requiring the Magis trates to commit If they consider there is probable cause to expect guilt. We learn Mrs. Lyon can give the bond if required. Of course the deluded crea ture, Meinika, will have to go to jail, and there await his trial next May. COURT SCENES. Col. J. F. Waddell and Lyman Martin represented the State. Two more courte ous and gentlemanly lawyers cannot be found. Their ability Is beyond dispute, and l ight well they represented the State. Col. Martin would indulge overy now and then in a little spice, and frequently brought down the lioubo with his quaint expressions and anecdotes. Col. Bnmford represented the defence, and he did it well. He is most assuredly the "coming man” in East Alabama. Talented, courteous and ever ready, he has but few equals at the bar. Even the splendid and renowned criminal lawyer, Col. Waddell, found in him a foemau worthy of his steel. THE LADIES were out in force. Many of them were the schoolmates and companions of Mrs. Lyon, and attracted by the enormity of the crime, were there to hear the testimo ny. The appearance of a gentlewoman always has a tendency to soften men’s na ture, and in this case helpod to recompense those obliged to liston to the dull details ofthe trial. To Misses L. D. and G. TANARUS„ Mrs. T. and Mrs. F., we are especially in debted for kindnesses extended us; their hospitality and good-will will lie gratefully remombered as long as Crawford is a town. Col. Jones, A. B. Ellaiul, Dr. Thomas, Monroe Fuller and a hostof others, we are Indeed gratefully obliged for overy kind and species of hospitality. The kind ly manner iu which all the good people of Crawford spoko of the Times, was pecul iarly gratifying to us, and our friends in Columbus who want the Crawford trade, should now como forward and advertise, as most all of them have subscribed to the Times. 3. M. FULLER sworn, says: I reside in llussell county, near the town of Crawford. I know all the parties, and have known for 20 years ex cept Melnlka. The house at which Lyon was killed, Is about two miles from my house. Lyon was killed on the 13th day of Novomber. I was In Crawford on Fri day, the day before Lyon was killed, and on my way home met Melnlka In the road It was about one hour by sun. When 1 next saw him he was In Opelika under arrest. He was brought to this place by Edge Hooper and myself. On last Thurs day Meinika while sitting by the lire said to me he wanted to tell the truth, and made to me the following statement: He said he was the man I met In the road, and described minutely how he got to Mr. Davis’ house. After arriving at the house he went to the dining-room window and knocked, and that Mrs. Davis came to him and gave him a gun, and that he went down into the Held and loaded it with one iron slug or ball and one buck shot- He then came back and stood near the house, but his heart failed him, and he did not shoot, Mrs. Davis then let him into the dining-room to the fire. After he got warm, Mrs. D. carried him in the back way into the hall and put him in some cotton, where he was to sleep. He re mained there until morning, and after the rest had tiuishod breakfast he went in and got his. During the day he went down in on old house in the Held and remained there until dark, when he returned to the house and took a position in auopen place near the well. Mr. Lyon came out and he raised the gun and shot. He then lied the place and made his way to Opelika; that he reached Opelika at 12 o’clock; that Mrs. Lyon made a negro girl cook him some supper, and told her to eook him plenty. Mrs. Lyon then asked him if he had done the work, and he replied that he reckoned so. Meinika also told me that Mrs. Lyon was to give him live hundred dollars and a set of furniture for a man to kill Mr. Lyon. This conversation occurred at the hotel, and I have stated It as nearly as I can re call it. CROSS'-EXAMINED. The hotel is not used as a hotel, nor is it vacant—one room In it being occupied by Mr. Gipson. Mr. Baldwin heard a por tion of this confession. The conversation and confession took place last Thursday. The prisoner mode the confession the day after Ida arrest; he was handcuffed about two hours after his arrest, and was kept handcuffed until the confession -though the cuffs may have boon taken off for a short time. Thero wore throe guards with hi in most, of the time, until the con fees ion. Meinika is a foreigner, and does not speak English well or plainly; his luuguagc is very much broken. I frequently had to ask him over two or threo times before l could fully understand what ho was say ing. The language I used is not the exact language of tho confession, but It Is as I understood his moaning. I may have asked him if he Intended to use certain words; he used words which I hud him to repeat before I could understand him. He had what I supposed to bo fits; he has had two since making the confession; when I received the confession it was about 10 o’clock in tho morning; he had no flts previous to confession—they lasted from 5 to 10 minutes, though ho was not prostrated that long. Ho said he went through tho cow-pen In leaving the house, into an old straw field; stopped at a ne gro’s, about three miles from Crawford; passed where t here was a party or col lection of persons, tho house being on tho right as you oomo this way. He does not appoar to me to boa man of weak •mind. Meinika also stated that lie stopped at a storo on the road and inquired the way to Salem; and after crossing a bridge, he stopped at. another house and Inquired the way. ROBERT P. BODWIN sworn, says: I livo in Crawford, ltussell County, have recently made tho acquaint ance of Charles Meinika. Last Thursday night, I was detailed' on guard by the Sheriff, and went into the room where prisoner was. Meinika stated to me that ho was going to tell the truth in this case. Said he had not seen any peace of mind since last March; said Mrs. Lyon was after him all the time to kill Mr. Lyon; said she offered him five hundred dollars and a room furnished. She said he should have the money as soon as tho work was done, and she oould sell tho cotton; also stated that he wished I could have seen the note that sho gave him to bring to her mother. He said the note read as follows: I have sent Charley down to do the work,as soon as tho work is done, you must go to him, and take from him his money and his keys, and suffer no one to go into his trunk until I come down. He said In re gard to the killing: That on Friday night his heart failed hjra, anil on Satur day Mrs. Davis patted him on the shoul der, and told him, ho must beabrave boy, and do the work; also that Mrs. Lyon told him after he had done tho work where to put the gun. That when he went to do the work, he trembled very much. Show ed me the position ho was in as he came out with the light. He raised the gun and fired. I then asked him where ho put tho gun. In answer he said be put it in an old house in a patch where Mrs. Da vis told him to place it, and that she would send Willie for it. I believe this is all I remember lie stated. Upon reflection however that he stated after he got back to Opelika, Mrs. Lyon ordered supper for him, and asked him if he had done the work. He told her he thought he had, and that she said if “this thing" Is found out on you, I will spend every dollar I have got to clear you, though it will never bo. It will be put upon those negroes that Mr. Lyon had a difficulty with. CROSS-EXAMINED. The witness said he did not protend that he told the confossion in Meinika’s words, lie having spoken in a broken tongue. His language is not very difficult to under stand, though some of the conversation was. He did not have to repeat any of his language 4o make it intelligible to me. Monroe Fuller was with me during the confession. The prisoner was handcuffed when he made the confession. DB. FOREMAN, SWORN I I have recently formed the acquaintance of Charles Meinika. On last Saturday I had a conversation with him about the gun he did the shooting with. He de scribed the gun as being a brass mounted musket, and cut down very small in the stock, except where tho stock rests against the shoulder. I saw the gun that was in court to-day. It corresponds oxactly with the ouo described by Meinika to me. DR. JNO. THOMAS was recalled to the witness stand. He said he was acquainted with Meinika, but of very recent date, Mot him while ho was coniined in the old hotel. He described to mo the gun he did tho killing with as be ing a brass mounted musket, and that the stock was cut down until it was very small to tho place where the stock came up to liis faco while shooting. I saw the gun at Mr. Benton’s store that is said to be the gun he did the killing with, and the gun answers tho description given by Meinika. I never saw him hunting -with this gun. The Defence. When the court opened yesterday morn ing the defence proceeded with their testi mony. A. Cl. EMORY, SWORN : 1 was acquainted with Mr. Byrd Lyon. He consulted me several times, and told me he did not expoct to live long. At the time of the last consultation he was com plaining of dyspepsia or torpid bowels. CROSS-EXAMINED. He had partial paralysis of the lower extremities. I cannot imagine any cause except nervous debility. Paralysis is not frequently occasioned from taking poison, as strychnine is very often given as a re lief for paralysis. It. C. BOTD, SWORN; I know Mrs. Lyon. I went with her from the residence of Mrs. Davis on Wednes day after the killing to Opelika. Do not know whether the sheriff had been there after her or not. I carried a note from her to the sheriff next morning. I read the note. Mr.Davis’ dogs do not stay at home, being with me two-thirds of the time. Mr. Davis’ voice is usually low. CROSS-EXAMINED. I am related to defendants bv blood and marriage. re-direct. I am related to deceased also by mar riage, ED. GUM, ATT, sworn, says: I know Meinika; last Friday morning in tho old hotel, I had a conver sation with him; there was no one in the room with us; he said to me that “Mrs. Lyon had never said anything to him about this.” Dr. Foreman was stand ing at the door, and walking across the room. CROSS EXAMINED. I had tho conversation with him on Friday; it was in the hotel, and in the middle room, next to the west end; I don’t know exactly what time of day it was that I talked with him, but suppose it was between eight and nin^.o’clock; I was on guard; I was summoned by Stafford Gibson to guard him; he summoned me Thursday night to go on guard; I sat up with prisoner onlv part of the night: I ! was standing in front of Mr. Dopton’s stoic when I was summoned; I hod Just come from Columbus in a wagon, and was on my way home; I was not intoxicated when 1 wont in to guard him; J laid down and slept, taking it lurb about with the others in guarding tho prisoner; I woke up before daylight; I hud the conversa tion with Meinika alter 1 woke up; lie suldtome: "Mrs, Lyou never said any thing to me about tills." Ido not know why he told me, but I will swear he told me. LIZZIE KENNEDY. I reside at Mr. J. L. Davis’ house. I first saw Charles Meinika when he came to our house for a beef; he came down on Wednes day or Tuesday of tho week; ho staid at our house two days anil throe nights, picking cotton; lie said he camo there about a beef; he left the house with Mrs. Davis on Friday night, I think, but don’t exactly know what time they left. Mr. Meinika was not there the next day, and If he had been there 1 would have seen him. The next time 1 saw him he was un der arrest here at Crawford. I know the night Mr. Lyon was shot, and that day Meinika was not there; 1 cook wash and Iron for tho family; I wash up the dishes; Mrs. Davis gives me control of every thing in the cook and dining room; make up the beds, etc. On that Saturday morning I washed the dishes and went to the cow pen ; I know the situation of a house in a little patch; the cow-pen is between tho dining-room and patch, and. one going from the dining-room to that house would have to go through the patch; anyone in the cow-pen could see a person going from the dining-room to that house in the patch. Meinika did not go from the dining room into the patch that morning; I sleep with Mrs. Davis in the same lied, she going to bed first; if any gun had been passed out of tho dining-room I would have seen it; no one did do so. I am acquainted with tiie musket of Mr. Davis; it generally sets in the bed-room. Meinika, while thero picking cotton, had tho gun in his hands. (Witness identified the gun as presented in Court.) On the morning of the day of the kill ing, Meinika did not eat breakfast at Davis’. I am? in no way related to de fendant. CONCLUSION. The trial, in all probability, was con cluded last night. It was the opinion of counsel that it would conclude then. When we left, Willie Carlisle was on the stand for the dofence. One or two wit nesses will be put up in rebuttal, and the case will be decided to-day. In our next issue we will give the re butting testimony, and the termination of the suit. ncMCOMfcR xrmmm ioi kt WEDNESDAY, NOV. 22—EIGHTH DAY. Court met pursuant to adjournment.

Wbat is the cure for goeslp? Simply, I culture. There is a groat deal of gossip : that Ims no malignity In It. Good-natured ! people talk about their neighbors because, . and only been use, they have nothing else Ito talk about. As we write there comes | tons the picture of a family of young ladles. We have seen I hem at home, Wc have met them in galleries of art, we have caught glimpses of them going from a bookstoreor a library with a fresh volume In their hands. When we meet them t hey are full of what they have read. They are brimming with questions. One topic of their conversation is dropped only to give plaoe to another, in which they are Interested. We have left them, after a delightful hour, stimulated and during the whole hour not a neighbor's garment was soiled by so much as a touch. They hod something to talk about; they knew something and wanted to know more. They could listen os well as they could talk. To speak freely of a neigh bor’s doings und belongings would have seemed an impertinence to them, and, of course, an Impropriety. They hail no temptation to gossip, because the do ings of their neighbors formed a subject very much less Interesting than those which grew out of their knowledge and culture. And this tells the whole story. The confirmed goßsip is always either ma licious or ignorant. The one variety needs a change of heart, and the other a change of pasture. Gossip is always a personal confession either of malice or imbelility; and the young should not only shun it, but by the most thorough culture relievo themselves from all temptation to indulge in it. It is a low, frivolous, ami too often a dirty business. There are country neighborhoods in which it rages like a pest. Churches are split to pieces by it. Neighbors aro made enomies by it for life. In many persons it degenerates Into a chronic disease, and is practically incur able. Let the young eure it while they may. (■Hass. Probably the Romans were the first to employ glass for windows. Seme rem nants of glass panes are to be found to day, In their frames, In the buried houses of Herculaneum and Pompeii. They sub stituted glass as a material for bottles in place of the leather which is still in voge among the poorer classes in the Orient. Epicureans in wine then, as now, deter mined the age of this article by the seal upon the cork, and the label impressed upon tiie glass. Glass goblets were less popular. Gold and silver reluctantly yield the palm to their new fangled rival, which sought popularity by appealing to the desire of novelty among the rich. Even artificial stones and pearls of glass wore not unknown. Whether mirrors of glass were known to the Romans, or whether they depended exclusively, as they certainly did chiefly, upon tiie re sources of the Jews—polished metals—is a question of grave dispute among the learned in such matters, a dispute into which we shall not venture to enter. It is safe, however, to say the only use of glass which modern art can claim with assurance, as exclusively its own, is the employment of it in optical instruments.
