DISCHARGE OF MR. R. H. KERNA
GHAN.
THE TABLES TURNED.
THE “ SPECIAL AGENT ” IN LIMBO.
We have already informed our readers of
the detention, on Friday evening, of Bul
lock’s “ special agent,” Pettis, who was
en route to Atlanta, from Columbia, S. C.,
holding in custody, without legal warrant
or authority, the person of Mr. Robert H.
Keruaglian, of Hamburg, S. C., against
whom, without evidence necessary to sus
tain the allegation, a charge had been made
for the killing of Ruffin, the sheritt'of Rich
mond county, in November last.
Pursuant to order of Judge John C.
Snead, making the several persons and pa
pers returnable before him, at the City Court
room, at 10 o’clock, yesterday morning,
Mr. Kernaghan, in whose behalf applica
tion had been made for release under a
writ of habeas corpus, and his former custo
dian, Pettis, were before the Court.
Messrs. McLaws & Gauahl represented
the petitioner, but Pettis was without
counsel, the Department at Atlanta failing
to respond with instructions, telegraphed
for by him on Friday night. This failure
to protect their dupe, as best they could,
in this unlicensed stretch of Gubernatorial
authority, only exhibits the low, dirty cun
ning of which they are capable in the
handling of even their own pliant tools.
Mr. Ganahl read to the Court the returns
Kitable and sheriff, announcing
he process lodged with them,
for the return oLPettis, uhder
theaulhoriUy'y which the pe
ernagTFfftffwm held in his cus-
As might very reM^i.beaioncei v<d. Una
"def Siana the “special
agent,” who nervously arose from his seat
beside the sheriff and announced to the
Cotujfcat he had no return to make ; that
h£)»imwPlegraphed to Atlanta, but had re
ceivedSio instructions.
Mr. Ganaht then moved the discharge of
his client, under the provisions of the law.
The Court, with a commendable disposi
tion not to precipitate the disposal of the
case, and recognizing the ohtnseness of the
•• special agent,” kindly informed him of his
rights and duties under the law, advising
him, if he did not feel himself competent to
manage the case, to secure counsel.
Pettis still did not seem to have a con
ception of what was meant by the return
which he was called upon to make before
the Court, and desired the matter postponed
until Monday, to allow him time to com
municate further with the Atlanta officials.
Mr. Ganahl again pressed the motion for
the discharge of the petitioner, Kernaghan.
Whilst the Court was entertaining this
motion, the telegraph messenger entered the
court room, bearing a dispatch, which he
hurriedly delivered to Pettis, whose coun
tenance assumed a livelier and more hope
ful aspect, doubtless experiencing a thrill
of satisfaction akin to that which the im
perial ukase of Bullock has so frequently
awakened in the breasts of convicts who
have fallen under the ban of outraged law.
The “ special agent ” desired that the Court
should read the dispatch, evidently believ
ing that in it would be found sufficient
authority for the part he was playing in
furthering the outrageous purposes of the
Atlauta cabal.
Judge Snead very blandly declined to
take official cognizance of any such docu
ments, informing Pettis that it was requi
site for a return to be made under oath, to
secure consideration from the Court.
The dispatch, as illustrative of the
promptness (?) which marks the administra
tion of the Department, and the presump
tive arrogance that upon the slightest in
timation from that quarter, the Court
would stand still in the consideration of the
application for the writ of habeas corpus, is
a curiosity, and we give a copy of it, pro
cured at great labor aud expense:
Atlanta, October 23.
Telegram received. Will seud you in'
structions during the day.'
R. Paul Lester,
Secretary Ex Department.
This startling dispatch was, of course
not read to the Court and spectators.
Judge McLaws pressed upon the Court
the motion made for the discharge of the
petitioner.
The Court announced that an order
would be granted for the discharge, reciting
the facts of the case.
Mr. Gauahl prepared the following order,
to which Judge Snead affixed his signature:
In Chambers, October 23d, 1869.
In Be—Benin Key, applicant for writ of
habeas corpvb, dx., dx.
It appearing upon the return of the ser
vice of the writ and the precept—the said
Robert H. Kernaghan and one William
Pettis, on whom the copy of said writ was
served being before me—and the said Pettis
having been instructed as to what the law
was. and his rights and duties thereunder,
declined making any return.
Thereupon, upon motion of counsel for
petitioner, it Is ordered that the said
Robert H. Kernaghan be discharged from
the custody under which he has been held,
there being nothing offered by way of re
turn by the person having him in custody
showing the legality for his detention.
It is ordered that said Pettis pay the
costs of this proceeding.
Given under my hand and official signature
this 23d day of October, eighteen hun
dred and 6ixty-nine.
Jno. C. Snead,
Judge City Court.
After the grant of the above order, Mr.
Gailahl inquired of Judge Snead as to the
further claim held upon Pettis by the
Court, stating that a warrant had been
prepared for his arrest upon a charge of
false imprisonment.
The Court was declared adjourned, and
Constable A. R. Shaw served the process
upon Pettis, who was taken before Justice
Ells, where the case was postponed, at the
instance of the defendant, until 3 o’clock,
p. m.
PETTIS BOUND OVER.
Pursuant to order, Mr. Pettis was ar
raigned before Justice Ells, at 3, p. m., to
answer, in a preliminary examination, the
charge of false imprisonment. He was re
presented by Major J. P. Carr, and the
prosecution by Messrs. McLaws and Ga
uahl. Mr. R. H. Kernaghan and his broth
er, Thos. J., were examined as witnesses
for the prosecution, their testimony show
ing that it was the expressed intention of
the defendant, Pettis, to carry Mr. Robert
H. Kernaghan to Atlanta, and that he was
only prevented from carrying out his pur
pose through the appeal to the process of
habeas carpus. Documentary testimony
only was offered by the defense in justifica
tion of the' attempt of Pettis to obey the
behests of Bullock, as expressed in a requi
sition upon the Governor of South Caroli
na, representing that Mr. Kernaghan was
a fugitive from justice, and that the accu
sation of the crime of murder had been
made against him in Georgia by due pro
cess of law. The case was well managed
and ably presented by the counsel on each
side. The arguments of Maj. Carr and
Judge McLaws concluded on the merits of
the case, Justice Ells announced that he
would bind over the defendant, Pettis, in
the sum of SSOO, for his appearance for
trial at the next term of the Superior
Court for Richmond county. Immediately
previous to the announcement of the judg
ment of the Court, Judge McLaws an
nounced that it was the purpose of Mr.
Robert H. Kernaghan to remain in Augus
ta for some time, prepared to respond to
any warrants that might issue.
Fresh, Gat and Serviceable.— These
are the leading features which are now
characteristic of the stock of goods at the
boot and shoe establishment of M. Cohen,
who has recently returned from the North
ern and Eastern markets with one of the
most elegant, attractive and complete
stocks of boots and shoes ever offered in
this market. Well versed in the art of de
termining the good or bad quality of mate
rial which manufacturers use, combined
with a cultivated appreciation of taste in
the selection of styles adapted to the
wants of the people in this section, there is
nothing lacking to commend the stock se
lected by Mr, Cohen as in every way
suited to the preference of his patrons.—
His sole object is to give satisfaction to
those who favor him with their trade, and
to turn out his customers properly heeled
against the variations of weather inci
dental to the season. The large number of
customers daily pouring into his store at
tests the appreciation in which this estab
lishment is held.
That Cowhiding.— The Charleston News ,
of yesterday, has the following special dis
patch concerning the application of raw
hide to a white carpet-bagger by a Mas
sachusetts negro, which we reported yester
day morning as taking place in Columbia,
S. C., on Friday morning:
Kavanaugh, the Assistant Secretary of
the Governor, was cowhided in front of the
Executive building this morning by R. B.
Elliott, the negro Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral of the State. Kavanaugh defended
himself with his fists, and would, it is said,
have punished his assailant.severely but for
the interference of bystanders.
The affair grew out of some domestic en
tanglement,!
It is reported that Kavanaugh’s friends
are in search of Elliott, and are determined
to shoot him on sight.
Elliott is a Massachusetts negro.—
Kavanaugh came down South with the
Union army, and is a hanger-on to the
Radical ring.
Meeting of the Board of Education.
—The Board of Education for Richmond
county convened at the ordinary’s office,
yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of
eawni it leg te sellers and 1 nr, airing into the
educational interests of the county. The
following teachers received certificates of
qualification : Henry J. Rains, Principal of
Augusta Free School; Martin V. Calvin,
Principal of Peabody School; Mrs. M.
Abbie Calvin, Ist Assistant ; Miss Mary E.
Holliday, 2d Assistant; Mrs. Kate Sher
wood, 3d Assistant; Miss Anna Calvin,
4th Assistant; Miss Lydia Crumpton,
Principal of the Factory School; Miss
Ellen Marrie, Assistant in Mrs. Martz’s
School; Miss Susan Hosnier, Principal of
Colored school in Fourth Ward ; Michael
Welsh, Assistant in Thomas Leckie’s
School.
The Small Industries.—The change
which has come over the social condition
of the South, as a consequence of the war
of secession, is in nothing more plainly
manifested than in the greater attention
now paid to the smaller industries. These
are always a great source of wealth to na
tions when assiduously followed, and have
been one of the great causes of the mate
rial success of the Northern United States.
In this connection, we would call attention
to the advertisement of Mr. T. McCrady,
of Charleston, S. C., who has charge of ex
tensive oyster beds planted and owned ex
clusively by capitalists of that city. Every
such enterprise deserves the support of the
Southern people.
Recorder’s Court.—The following cases
were disposed of by Recorder Crump yes
terday morniug:
Wm. Wal'—Violation of the 18th section.
Plead guilty, and fined $5 and cost.
Amelia Cooper—Violation of the 18th
section. Dismissed on payment of cost.
Mary Robertson—Viola!ion of the 18th
section. Dismissed on payment of cost.
John Johnson —Violation of the 18th sec
tion. Plead not guilty. Found guilty and
fined $lO and cost.
To Snorers. —A gentleman in Carroll
county, says the Barnesville Gazette, was
lately fined fifteen dollars for snoring in
church —disturbing public worship.
Some of our lively city snorers had better
take heed of this warning, in their deport
ment at church to-day and to-night.
Personal. —Hon. Benj. H. Hill, Judge
Erskine, of the United States Court, J.
Parker, Esq., proprietor of the Mills House,
Charleston, aud Mr. J. A. Subleter, of the
Spottswood House, Macon, are in our city,
at the Planters’ Hotel.
Marriage Licenses. —The immigration
agents might as well come home, and trust
the repopulation of the State to the re
sources of our own people. The ordinary
of Richmond county has sold within the
past nine months 304 marriage licenses.
Laving op the Corner Stone. —We
learn that it is purposed to lay the corner
stone of the new Jewish Synagogue, with
appropriate ceremonies, on Thursday after
noon next. Dr. Wise, of Cincinnati, is ex
pected to be in attendance.
Call Accepted.—Rev. Thomas W. Har
ris, of Sandersville, says the Era, has ac
cepted the pastoral charge of the Christian
Church in Atlanta.
New Grocery Supplies.—Note the bill
of fare presented by Messrs. Ramey &Tim
berlake, to sustain and gladden the inner
man, and all fresh arrivals.
To Change Hands.— The Intelligencer re
port* that the Atlanta Constitution is abont
„to change hands.
The police of Savannah have presented a
set of silver, worth $275, to the ex-Mayor,
Col. E. C. Anderson.
Not a Candidate.—Attention is direct
ed to the card of G. A. Snead, Esq., in an
other column.
New Clothing House.— Mr. W. A.
Ramsey •enters the lists with a thoroughly
new and complete stock of clothing for the
Fall and Winter trade. The adaptation of
his stock to the wants of purchasers will
satisfy all who favor him with their pa
tronage that this establishment has in
store all the modem styles of material and
fashion, unmixed with garments of anti
quated cut, shelved away as moth beds
from last season.
General Insurance Agency. —We direct
attention to the advertisement of Mr. Chas.
M. Crane, general insurance agent. Mr.
Crane represents first class companies, as
appears from the list in his advertisement,
and offers to effect fire, river and coastwise
risks on favorable terms. We confidently
commend him to public patronage, assured
that those who effect risks through his
agency will be fairly and equitably dealt
with.
An Unfortunate Occurrence.— Mr.
Dudley Campbell, son of Dr. Campbell, of
Morgan county, and a student at Emory
College, happened to a very serious acci
dent, on Tuesday night last. He had spent
the day in Atlanta, and returned to this
city by the 8:35, p. m., train. When the
(rain started again he endeavored to get
on it while in motion, when he fell under
the train and the wheels of one of the cars
passed over his left leg, near the ankle
joint, crushing it so badly that amputation
became necessary. The ends of the fingers
on his left hand were also mashed oft' by
the wheels passing over them. He is now
at the hotel in this city, attended by his
father, and is doing well.
f Covington Examiner.
No Mackerel. —The Cape Ann Adver
tiser brings bad news. It says :
“ There have been but two arrivals from
the Bay the present week, the vessels
bringing moderate fares. They report
gnackerel very scarce—none having been
caught for the past three weeks. There
are some vessels that have been in the Bay
all the season that have less than one hun
dred barrels. A portion of the fleet have
done well, but the aggregate catch will be
far less than was anticipated, unless the
Fall catch improves. The market for both
Bay and Shore mackerel is quite firm, and
the small stock in first hands causes prices
to rule high. Shore was selling for $23 50
and $24, and Bay at s2l 50 and $22.”
Almost a Fatal Casualty.— On Wed
nesday night last there was nearly a fatal
accident at Covington depot. Hon. Per
medus Reynolds attempted to cross be
tween two cars of a freight train, when tiie
cars were suddenly started, throwing him
to the ground between the platform and
the train, which passed on, leaving the
Judge unhurt, but badly frightened by the
perilous adventure.— Covington Enterprise.
“ My boy,” said a clergyman, “ don’t you
know "that it is wicked to catch fish on
Sunday ?”
“ Guess I haiu’t sinned much yet,” said
the boy, without taking his eye from the
cork, “ hain’t had a bite.”
“I have enlisted in the army of Zion!”
said a young man to Dr. Bethune.
“ In what church ?’’ asked the doctor.
“ In the Baptist,” was the reply.
“ I should call that joining the navy,"
was the response.
To tub Cititens of Georgia.—Complaints
having been received from lending physicians
and families in Georgia of the sale of cheap
imitations of my Scheidam Aromatic Schnapps,
I beg to notify ihe public that the agents of the
undersigned, Messrs. VV. 11. Tull & Laud, of
Augusta, have been requested to institute in
quiry on the suhieet, and to forward to him the
names of such parties as they may ascertain to
be, engaged in the atrocious system ol decep
tion.
In conclusion, the- undersigned would say
that lie has produced from under the hands ol
the most distinguished men of scleuee in
America proofs innumerable of the purity and
medicinal excellence of the Scbeidam Aromatic
Schnapps. He, therefore, feels it a duty he
owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the
medical profession, and the sick, to denounce
and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these
evidences of identity, and he calls upon the
press and the public to aid him in his efforts to
remedy so great an evil.
