One of them grow irate at length and floored his antagonist by a healthy blow In the chest. He then en gaged in a difficulty with a third party. Meanwhile his fallen foe had recovered, and made at)dm with a drawn and open pocket knife. The boy dodged, but before ho got out of the way ho received a little cut In tho hip which produced considera ble pain, but Is by no means serious. Tho boy who did the cutting says he did it ac cidentally. It Is said that the father of the boy who was cut told the boy who did it, in a jesting manner, to go home anil that ho would have him hung. This was said hi a ! jest and nothing was thought of it at the j time. It seems that the boy took the ail- j vice more fully than was intended. He left the Church yard and has not been soon since. A diligent search was made for him yesterday, hut to no avail. Mr. J. J. Slade dismissed his school to look for the boy yesterday. Throe of the pupils went to Opelika to see if they could hear any in telligence of their missing comrade. A j thorough search was made in Brownovillo and Girard, but nothing was heard to in dicate what hod become of the boy. Since writing the above we learn that one of the boys sent on tho search has just 1 returned. He says he found the youug ] fugitive at Salem, Ala., and tried to pur suade him to return. The boy refused to do so, and said he did not intend to come back, but was going away for good. He walked from Columbus to Salem, sixteen inlh*s, and said he was going to LaGrange. He Is tramping slowly along on an end less pilgrimage it seems. Elegant block Grenadines from 40c. to 1.00 at Jno. McGovern A Co’s.

About half-past seven o’clock last even ing Jackson street was startled by a very loud explosion, which broke harshly on the usual quiet of that part of the city. People rushed to the source of the sound, from all quarters. There were a thousand and-one conjectures of the results of what had been heard. The general opinion was that somebody had been shot; that an other tragedy had been enacted in our city. Soon about a hundred people gath ered in the yard of the Male Public School,; where the explosion seemed to have oc curred. The facts of the case were soon learned. It appears there is quite a little laboratory in the office of Prof. G. M. Dews, Superin tendent of our Public Schools. Ho uses it for the purpose of giving practical lessons in chemistry to his pupils. Last evening, he and Prof. Battle intend ed to use a magic lantern in the laborato ry. In the afternoon, a negro boy who la employed to clean out the room took a bag which contained about a gallon of ox ygen gas and turned into it about tho same quantity of hydrogen from the gas pipe. When the gentlemen arrived they wished to All the bag with oxygen, and told the negro to go out and empty what it contained. He t<x>k the bag to the door and opened it. Just then ho struck a match (to see the gas run out, we suppose).; The result must have somewhat surprised the amateur chemist. The flame came near to the gas and a terrific explosion was the immediate consequence. If the bag had happened to have contained seve ral gallons of these mixed gases, results of a disastrous nature would certainly have succeeded the explosion. As the quantity was so small the darkey was not hurt much. Part of the bag bruised his eyes considerably, but it Is not thought that the sight is affected. They say he wouldn’t work in that laboratory again for his weight in gold. Call at J. J. Whittle’s and got some of the Eureka Spool Silk.

Yesterday morning Mayor Mcllhenny uiuxnmoucl that his Court was open to hoar any charges Which might be preferred against any member of tho police force wig) Interfered in the Sheriffs election last Thursday. Ho said that the charges had been made through the press, and that he was ready to hour the proof of any of these charges. He stated that there was no city ordinance which denied to police men the right to electioneer. lie stood ready, however, to make any redress In his power. Ho had nothing before him as , yet. No crime was charged, and if any citizen had any specific accusation to j make against any jxdieeman he stood j ready to hear it. Mr. T. E. Blanchard, a member of the. Police Committee of this city, made a | statement to tho Court. He said that he was at his place of business Thursday, : when Dr. J. E. Blount, one of the candi dates, came to him and said that the po lice were at work at tho polls, and that the people were outraged. He went down ! to the polls and found several policemen there. They had tickets in their hands, j He told them to desist from any election eering. Captain Foran seemed to l>e tak- 1 ing part. He had been excused from duty ' on that day. Mr. Blanchard told Captain j Foran to go and change his clothes. H* j was one of the Committee on Police, and j lie ruled that a policeman off duty was a ! mere citizen, and had a perfect rigid to do as they pleased at the polls; they could electioneer for whom they pleased, and had a right to control os many votes as they could. Mr. Blanchard thought this clamor against tho police was made simp- | ly because the police were against the { friends of oortain parties. Alderman Led- ! singer had told him that the police had done their whole duty on the day of elec-1 tlon. Mr. Blanchard said he ordered the police to be on the grounds and considered it there duty to be there, as the principal excitement or the day was around the polls. Policeman Wood then made a statement of his conduct on the day of the election. Said he put his squad on Broad street. Policeman Pickett came down to the polls; Ihe was excused from duty. He came to tho voting place in tin* forenoon. Had some tickets. Several men came up and asked him for some of them. Did not so licit any votes while on duty. After one o’clock he. went home; changed his clothes; came back and worked for his friend. Did not buy any votes while In* had his uni form on. Thought ho had a right to work as much as he pleased after lie changed his clothes. Mayor Mcllhenny requested Marshal Robinson to make a statment? Mr. Robinson said that ho was at the polls early in tho morning. Mr. Blanchard told him complaints had been made concerning the police force, and ordered him to stop i their interference. Did not see any police-! ! man electioneering while on duty. Was j | inside t he house and could not see all that j j was going on outside. Saw Captain Fo-1 1 ran electioneering while he was off duty, j ; Did not know that the police had any or- j ! dors not to interfere in the election. (This was stated to a question from the Mayor. Policemen have often electioneered in tin* city. Saw members of the police force electioneering with citizens’ clothes on. Knew of no ordinance against such inter- j interference. Captain Foran made a statement, in which he said he did not electioneer, or try to influence any votes while on duty. Charles Coleman, Esq., City Attorney, said that electioneering was a violation of no law. The complaints had been made in an unjust way. He said that it ill-bo came public newspapers to make charges against those men, and then for no one to | appear to substantiate the charges thus made. The presumption is that the police were on the other side. When a man be comes a policeman he gives up no right. Mayor Mcllhenny said that policemen had rights as citizens. He thought this matter ought to be dismissed. He deemed it unnecessary to proceed further. Ho an nounced that the examination he had gone through with was not final. If any citizen would prefer charges against policemen and give the names of witnesses, he would issue summons and thoroughly examine the case, though he knew of no law authorizing such action. Tho police in electioneering had not violated any city ordinance, but he would hear charges against them. Alderman Blanchard then stated that he would sustain the Mayor In his efforts to get good men on the police force; he had done all he could to preserve the peace and order of the place. Ho had lieen an alderman for years, and had always dis charged his duty faithfully. Several years ago he introduced an ordinance which pro vided that policemen should be kept on the force during good behavior, and thus not be tempted to Interfere in any election. He felt that his career as an alderman was clear, and that he was as good a citizen as anybody. Any inuendoes or slurs that had been made against the authorities were unjust, and had better not be made any more. Mr. Coleman then said that it was a vio lation of the laws of Georgia to accuse ji man of crime and then not to come for ! ward and substantiate it Mayor Mcllhenny said lie had instruct ed the police not to interfere in the elec tion. They ought to l>e very cautious how they act. He said he would call the at tention of the Council to this matter, and ask theip to make some regulation against any interference at elections on the part of policemen; said he had never discharg ed a man from the police force for voting against him. Once all the force except two electioneered against him. He had always endeavored to act fairly between the po lice and citizens; had tried to elevate the general character of the force. He was ready to hear any charges against the po lice; but they must I** brought sjieeiflcal iy. Mr. Coleman stated that the sheriff, bail iffs, and other offleeis electioneer when they want to do so; policemen have an equal right to do so. These things had been said just to injure the police. These charges go all over the country. People come to the city and say they must leave quick, for the Citizens’ Committee has not been organized to protect them against the attacks of the police force. Aldermen have a right to electioneer, and so have i officers, when they are off duty. Tho Mayor said that he had conducted jno ex parte investigat ion. Charges might j be preferred at any time against the force. He had always instructed the police to cultivate friendly relations with country men and strangers; they always get out of difficulties easier than citizens. Any person wishing to bring specific charges against any man on the force, could so do at any time. He announced that he would proceed with the matter no further at present, as no one appeared to prefer any charges. We recapitulate: Mayor Mcllhenny said that “the charges hail been made through the press”; that “there was no ordinance which denied to policemen the right to electioneer”; that “no crime was charged.’’ To tho Mayor we have only to say that each and every charge made in tho col umns of this paper was fully proven by the witnesses examined, including the po licemen ; the only charge having been that “it i# wrong, in principle, that an officer, paid by the people, shall have the right to go t o the polls and control votes.” The Mayor states that “he knows of no law authorizing him to examine the case.” Then the examination held yesterday was entirely fruitless, and it would have | availed nothing to have brought specific charge against the police. Then* wore no charges made, except that they did I Influence votes; and this is abundantly proven. To the City Attorney we reply, that it is not true that we made any charge in order to injure tho police. They were made in the interests of good government, j and the trial yesterday convinces us that we wore correct. If there is no law to pre vent the jhjUco from electioneering, wo claim that there ought to he Much a hue, and ; it ought to apply to the sheriff and bailiffs also. We refer him also the Mayor’s state- j mont, that “no crime had hem charged,” and state further, that, not being City At torney, but public journalists, we deter mined to write fearlessly whenever the in terests of the public require it. It was not our province to substantiate charges of crime, eepeciafly when we made no such cliarges. We repeat now every word written in tin* articles evidently referred to by the City Attorney, and no individual in there at- ; tacked. It is the mischievous evil to which we refer, not to individuals. We sav fur ther, that, though we do not believe the police were opposed to us, that fuel would not influence us one iota. We belong to no clique, and do not allow anything to appear in our columns in the interest of any local candidate for any favors, present or prospective. Our course lit the future,! as In the past, will prove that. To the Alderman who remarked “any inuendoes or slurs that had been made \ against the authorities wore unjust and ; had better not be made any more,” we re- j peat exactly what we said about the au- j thoritics, viz: “The attention of theau-; thorities were repeatedly called to this 1 yesterday, and they remonstrated with the police*, but, as soon as their backs were turned, the work began again.” We will ■ add further that it is our purpose to strike j at what we conceive to be either a bad law or a bad execution of a good law, without fear, but with a strict regard to truth. We do not intend to Is; drawn into any personalities, and would not have alluded ] to the matter had not direct reflections | been made against our paper for doing its j duty. For all of these gentlemen we on- j ter tain respect, and do not believe that any of them are capable of intentionally and deliberately casting un unjust imputation upon our motives. With this reiteration of all that we said before, and with the be- j lief that our citizens will sustain us by electing a Board of Police Commissioners, j ns has been found necessary in Atlanta j owing to this very evil, we leave the mat ter to tie* public. “Ifoni Hoit qui mat y peiiHe” Festival for Kt. K*uiil Muinh. The ladies of this church are at work ! heart and head. * They will make the en | tertainment a groat success. No festival ever given in Columbus exceeded the one given by them a few years ago. It is probable that they will have this new fes tival about the last of this month. Every body should attend, and we believe every body will. The object is a good one, viz: to raise funds for purchasing a parsonage for the church. An unusual amount of preparation has been made for this festi val, and it will bo one of unusual attrac tions in many respects. We hope that the labors of these devoted lad ire will l>o rewarded by most liberal patronage, and that tho highest expectations of success may be fully realized.
