Brunswick, Ga. Sept. 9, 1875. Dear Triumph : Yesterday the great trial of the parties charged with forging or counterfeiting Brunswick City Scrip was resumed, but no important point attained. , During the day about thirty witnesses were summoned being pretty equally divided between the State and the defense. Tha case was “set down” for 9 o’clock a. m., but owiug to some extra work among the attorneys, did not get well into the ease until about 11 o’clock. In the after noon, however, some three or four wit ness, as near as we can recollect, were sworn, and the testimony recorded ; bat as we were a witness and not allowed a seat in the court room while the case was progressing, d.d not have the means of ascertaining definitely what was elicited from the witness on the stand—consequent ly, can only state what we heard. The opinion of many of those present were to the eflect that the evidence of all the wit nesses up the adjournment of the Court, ran very nearly in the same groove —tend ing only to show or prove the previous good character of Mr. Fahm, as also his mode of living, etc., whether extravagant or otherwise. No new leutures or addi tional facts weie brought to “the light' up to the lime ol our being dismissed last night, but it is thought by many that to day some startling facts may come to the surface which will entirely exculpate Air. Fahm, and prove him as clear As the ‘noon day sun.” As far as we are able to judge, the affair stands thus : Air. Wells swore that the monoy he circulated was received by him from Air. Fahm ; that he passed it off at '25 per cent, which was allowed him by Mr. Fahm; and that he got off' some three thousand dollars, after which time he absconded and remained shut out, as it were, from the world until a few weeks ago, when he was apprehended by the Saenff' uud brought back to Brunswick, charged with the crime for which he is now in jail. Mr. Fahm says that he is innocent of the charges pieferred ; that ho c m and will prove himself entirely clear of the same. So you will observe that one says "he did, while the other says lie didn’t.” Now the question arises as to which of the two is right? Now, in the absence of proof positive in rebuttal of Air. We l’s testimony, shall we take the oath of an acknowledged criminal as truth or the oath of one whose veracity has never been doubted? Our sympathies are with our young friend, Fahui, with whom we have asso ciated from cbilhood, and as a natural result may be too solicitous for his wed being, therefore may not be competent to judge him rightly, but would bo happy to know that he is innocent ol so base and dishonorable an ae , and we fee, taut wc relict the siutimcuts of tho whole com munity, when we "say whoever the party may be, whether it he tho man wo have known and loved so long, or whether it be a stranger, let it be placed upou hint! that tho people of our city may know who is the guilty party ! For ourself, wa say, that we not only hope, but believe, with others, that our friend Fabm will yet come out unsjathed and with flying colors, and his name remain as it did—unsullied. IVe hope to be able to lay before our readers the full particulars iu our next. As tho citizens of Brunswick are com pletely absorbed iu this important mat ter, nothing in tho way of business can he accomplished, for every one seem to be graetly excercised, and are listening with eager ears to hear the final result. As we arc detained here as a witness we cannot return before to-morrow or next day, un til them, adieu, T. B. G. The Steamship Line. Tho recent establishment of the steam ship line between Brunswick and N. Y., has already done much toward the ad vauce ment of the interests of Brunswick, and the building up of a solid freight busi ness. We learn that this line of steamships has as much freight and passengers as can be carri and from Br mswick to New York, and vice versa. The railroads, too, are being benefitted to somo extent by this swell of freight and travel direct from New York. Messrs. Littlefield & Cos. deserve great credit for their efforts in securing so im portant an adjunct to the trade of that once languishing city of the coast. A dozen or two of such men as Mr. L. and W. with sufficient capital to operate with, and the future of Bruuswiek could be easily determined. Avery queer place they have now in Brunswick for keeping fish hooks. We observed the other day, while passing a certain Saloon--the first two letters of its name is, “The Star Saloon” thit a consid erable number of these crooked arrange ments wer ; spread out conspicuous y on a shell behind the counter, probably as a rrminder that the stuff you imbibe at that quarter will make you ‘crooked’ or that as they “bait folks there, you might guess what the hook was for—to put the ban on, and when well “baited wit. l —w-h-i—soda might • hook" something. I don’t menu nothin' Mr. Barkeeper; your whisky is ad right. I’m cornin’ round Tore long, when you 'aint iu, you know. Do you see the point; well if you don’t and will just sit down on one of those “pointed articles” | voa’ll feel it. ♦ First Tuesday. The first Tuesday in this month on* hundred years ago, arouud the verdant lawns where our Court House now Stands, was MAST A BED with NARY A WHITE. i while on last Tuesday there was many a ; white with nary A red (cent), if we are i to judge from the way property sold at the j (TnerifFn sale. Slaughtered, ns it were I Obitu-Paragoric. by ora DEV-ILL. Susie had a little sheep It fed on toumto-ketoh-up; But 'twill board never more— It deceased last week in Jesup. Oh! cruel, unfeeling man; And you, wicked To-bow-us! You bought this littlo sheep, To serve the Jesup Ilow-us. It wandered by a Littlo field; Was enticed by a Wolf so mean To partake of some -Qoodbread, And never more was seen. It was shrouded in ketch-up, Sauee, beans and huckleberries; And it’s awful strange to say, Was inter’d in twenty cemeteries. Moral.—Sheep should not meander about Smallfield's while the Wolf is lurking in tho saadow of some railroad car, with whetted teeth, seeking whom ho may devour, unless well supplied with Uoodbtcad, or, iu company with Old Bcrgh. - + SERIOUS STABBING AFFRAY. We learn from Drs. Crews and Harris, who were professionally called to attend upon ouo of the parties, that a serious stabbing affray occurred at Screven, (No. 7, A A (3. R ), on last Saturday evening, in whteb a man by the name of Calvin Dixon was cut iu the ahauuien by one .-am Kelly, it appears that they had been quarrelling for some time and at last re sorted to blows, when Kelly drew his knife and stabbed tire oilier. The Drs. found Dix on in a very critical condition, having been entirely disembowelled. Ho was first diseov ered lying on the ground with his intestines beside him. It was supposed that he had been lying in that condition for nearly two hours, the physicians, although rendering him every possible professional aid, think bis recovery very doubtful, as peritonitw has set in, and that air- ady his body is very much swollen, lie was alive yesterday, ainco which time we have been unable to hear fro .1 him. As soon he committed the deed, Kelly left, and as yet has not been apprehended. Skillful Financeering. A youthful aud indiscreet Jesupian has reeeutly “come to grief.” Ho sailed down to the city of Forest trees And lying B.s, and forthwithly repaired to a watchmaker's establishment-left liis “turnip” to be “fixed" went around and saw’d tho “tt-ings” generally, alter which little in nocent past time he bethought him of tho wherewith that was necessary to make him the possessor ot liis rebuilt ‘ brass works,' but lo! and b—d when became to examine the “outskirts of the pockets of his breech a-!oous to his utter confusion there was no “change felt there.” In this sad di lemma ho finally resolved, though with moistened eyes, to sacrifice his little pistol in order that he might reedeem that much loved “dial ’ and now he wants to dispose of two cultivated gophers to get back his fire-arm. He says ho is loosing much of the interest lie once felt iu watches aud other sich luxurousnesses. Too Much for Her. They have a female teacher at tho Harper school house, which is somo eight miles dis tant from the city of Jesup, When the said teacher undertakes to ingratiate hickory with ology into the minds and ail the should ers the unruly “big gals,” they riso up “tied oackwardly” and contest the proceeding with their “little fist3.” No longer than a day or two ago teacher thought that one of them was wanting a littlo “lea,” and likewisely under took to administer the same to her. The con st quence was that the “big gat" was one “too much” for her, and it became necessary to call one of tho “big boys” to koop her from being then and there mutilated beyond all possible recognizance, whereupon tho “big gal'a” “big brother” arose to join the fracas, when ho was rapidly exitted from the house Tuis youth gathered together all the available fire-arms and along with his brother waylaid the road which the scholars had to pa9S, hut his deadly vengeance was subdued before they arrived, end nobody was hurt. It is more than likely the ‘big brother’ will havo the law to contend with tor this “little interference.' (COMMUNICATED. ) Ckeefenckee Explorers. “Glorious news of the art spoken; Dreaded monster never broken. ’’ It is said by one whose age commands respect, 1 1 at the late exploring party, wfio so extensively explored that unknown place, called the OUeefeuokeo Swamp, took with them, tweuty-fivo bushels of meal, one .barrel ol syrup, two hundred pounds of rice, sixteen gallons “crooked eye,"—k lied forty black and grizzly bear, sixteen wolves, thru e leopards, five tigers, one kangaroo thirteen rait e snakes, thirty alligators, forty wood-chucks, twelve hun dred skunks—and only invaded the do main one quarter ot a mile —starved out, and tor waul of bread, meat and “crooked eye,” returned to Jesup and Valdosta May the Lord or somebody else send other typos to OkeeL-nokee.
