YESTERDAY'S COURT PROCEEDINGS, Potoj* JPiiii)< k jguii Trl<Ml for Murder. TKRnifT OF U I ILT 1 l JOHN DA VIM UINMIIMKIt. On yesterday wornlDg court met at tho usual hour, Judga Goorife F. Bartlott presiding. Tho matter of John Davis, who wa ar cusod of contempt of court In offering Henry Hmith $1(X) to go to Texas before the trial of the Kilgore case, cam© off. Judge Crawford demurred to tho accu sation on tho tho ground that no oonterapt of court had been committed; the act was not intended a such, and was no offence against tho court. Tho conversation in which tho money was offered was held in Alabama. Judge Bartlott overruled tho demurrer, ami still held Da vis to answer for eon tempt of court. Ho said ho would give time to prepare an answer to tho charge. The case of Peter Finnegan, charged with the murder of C. H. Wilding, was then taken up. It will bo remembored that this killing bx>k plane on the trth of last of February. Wilding was a shoe maker. Finnegan is an Irishman, about twenty years old, who worked in a car riage shop. There had been no fuss between the two men. On the night of the killing, Finne gan and Wilding, with sovoral other men, wore in tho Harris County bar togeth er. They had all been drinking. Finne gan left tho bar in company with Wilding, and said he was going to take him home. Soon Finnegan returned alone, and seem ed excited. He whispered to Bud Hack ney, one of ills friends, that he had killed a jpan. When they were nearly home, Finnegan again told Hackney lie had killed a man. At lirst he said that he did not know who he was. Afterwards he said he had killed Wilding, but had to do it to save his own life. He tried to show Hack ney the blood on his hands and on a knite, with which, he said, ho did tho killing. He Insisted that Wildtflg had cursed him and drawn a knife on him, and that he was compelled to kill him in self-defence. Next morning the body of Wilding was found on Oglethorpe street, terribly cut to pieces, having no less than fourteen wounds on it. They ranged from the head down to tifo lower part of the legs. A huge knife, with a blade fifteen inches long, was found near tho dead body. Finnegan was arrested while at work in a carriage shop at Wynn’s Hill. At first ho denied any knowledge of the affair. He then confessed it to the officers, but said he was compelled to do it US save his own life. Since this time Finnegan has been In jail. Yesterday morning he was brought out to Ids trial. In appearance he changed vory little Bine* his imprisonment. He is a very youthful looking boy; walks bent over; has an expressionless, round, rod face, and steel-grey eyes. His father was by his side yesterday. Frederick Wild ing, a brother of the deceased, was in the court-room all the while. TOTE JURY. • The following jury was easily obtained, sworn in, and tried the cose: Fred Clemons, A. J. Floyd, J.C.GInn,W. ■ A. Duke, W. I). Affleck, R. C. Pearce, Dan- ! j iel Dozier, Joe Hill, Robert Carson, James : W. Long, Van Marcus and Thomas No-1 hies. 1 Several members of this jury were on the jury that found James Kilgore guilty of murder on Tuesday. The prisoner was represented by Messrs. Thornton A Grimes, and the prosecution by Russell A Russell and Solicitor W. A. Little. The state examiner) several wßneeeee. Burl Hackney, to whom Finnegan confeH txl the deed, on the night of the killing, was the principal witness. Ho was sub jected to a long and full examination by the Solicitor, and to a trying cross-exami tion by B. A. Thornton, Esq. Ho testified to almost the Identical facte that ho did at the preliminary examina tion, which was published in full in the Times. The other witnesses testified to the eimiinßtanoee of the night of tho kill ing. | The defense declined to introduce any I evidence whatever. The prisoner did not j make any statement. Tho argument was begun and concluded by tho defense, which right is granted in cases whore no evidence is introduced. T. W. Grimes made the opening speech to the Jury. Ho presented the prisoner's casein a most favorable light, and dwelt at length on the unsubstantial character of the evidence. He was followed by Charles K. Russel Esq., for the State, who spoke at length, and made some pointed remarks on the subject. Solicitor W. A. Little then made a strong speech for the prosecution. He went over tho evidence in a most careful manner, ami showed the ease in all its bearings. As usual, his style was close, concise and logical. B. A. Thornton Esq., concluded for the prisoner. He read quite a number of cases to show how carefully admissions ought to bo taken. His appeal to the jury was strong and affecting. The prosecution relied principally on Finnegan's own confessions made on the night of tho killing. Thoy coupled these confessions with tho circumstantial evi dence and insisted that they made out a clear case of murder. The number of wounds received by the dead man proved a bad and malignant heart In the prisoner, they argued. Tho fact that blood was found on his pants and various parts of his person, was used to prove that ho had set down on his victim amt cut him after down. The defence replied by claiming that very little weight ought to be attached to Finnegan’s confessions on the night of the killing as he was in a drunken state and terribly excited. Besides, it was argued there was no cer tainty that these confessions had been re ported properly. They all depended on Hackney’s memory, which may be very treacherous. Hackney may have been drunk on the night he heard them. Tho defence also urged that if the pros ecution held that Finnegan’s confession of having done the deed was true, it must also be admitted that he spoke the truth when he told Hackney he killed Wilding in self-defence. Both arguments were ingeniously ar ranged and well presented to the jury. THE CHARGE. Judge Bartlett delivered a long and ex haustive charge to the jury. He dwelt upon the value of confessions as evidence, and also upon circumstantial evidence. He urged tho jury to look at all tho cir cumstances of the case, and to endeavor to ascertain the animus of the two parties. The distinction between murder, man slaughter, and justifiable homicide, was clearly pointed out and made clear. The Judge then submitted the case, and ! the jury WMO conducted Up-eta!m by the i Deputy Sheriff. A LITTLE FUN. | Just after tho f jury! had retired, two boys, about fourteen years of ago- -Charlie I Wood and Walter Cush by name-were : brought around before the Judge for dis turbing the Court by Wrestling in the hall. I One of them set up a regular “boo! hoo!” and seemed scared half todrath. Judge | Bartlett gavo the two boys some sound advice about ,Dio propriety of good be havior everywhere, and dismissed them. Considerable merriment was caused Iby the manner in whkh Janitor l**wis brought ono of the youthful offenders around py his ooet collar. JOHN DAVIS DISMISSED. Judge Crawford answered the Charge against Davto for contempt by saying that ho made no attempt to keep Smith away from the Court. Ho thought Smith vriahed to go to Texas whore his brothers wore, and hence offered him tho money. Judge Bartlett said that the tampering j with the affairs of the* Court was u grave offense, and that trying to Induce a wit- j ness to stay away was a most high handed j measure. He had no Idea Davis knew how grave the offense was. Ho was re latod to the man accused, and it was j natural he should wish to keep away a witness who would injure his cause. Ho said he would dismiss Davis, but i was not sure he wouldihuvc dgn<so at his own court. Such offenses are sometimes prevented as well by exposure as by pun ishment. He had shown that there was a power to punish those who dans! to inter-| fere with the mandates of the Court. In j view of Davis’ residence in Alabama and all the circumstances in the case, he would dismiss him on payment of the costs. CASES FOR TO-DAY. Judge Bartlett announced that ho had j disposed of all the inmates of the jail | wiiieh were first brought out, and that to- j day ho would have the following prisoners \ brought before him: Jim Brooks—Forgery. Henry Ray -Misdemeanor. Allen Baker - Burglary in the night. George Grimes- Assault with intent to j murder. John Thomas Axoussory before the • fact. Amelia Williams—Misdemeanor. Julia Snell—Assault. Coleman Stanley—Burglary. The case of Jim Brooks will oome up first. As many others as possible will be disposed of to-day. Judge Bartlett then took a recess, leav ing word with the Sheriff to inform him if the Jury should obtain a verdict. THE VERDICT. Tho jury retired at 0 o'clock and did not bring in a verdict until 11 o'clock. All during this interval there was quite a party of spectators In tho court room. About half past ten Judge Bartlett was sent for, and when he arrived the jury j came down. Quite a crowd soon collected In the room, j The prisoner row; and the Clerk of the j court read the following verdict: “We the jury find tho prisoner guilty,; and recommend him to the mercy of the j court.” Van Marcus. Foreman. The prisoner received the verdict with I seeming indifference. Thecrowd dispersed ; ' and the sheriff carried the prisoner to his j cell. SCRAPS.

The saddest thing in the world Is, that one may teach others to do right, and yet go wrong himself. Bead the advertisements of the various Springs in the Times. They are all at tractive and pleasant places. Opdllka is one of the most anibithfus cities in tfie country, and her hopivs of greatness may yet bo realised. Several Columbus men have a slight touch of the Black Rills mania. None have left for the. new El Dorado yet*. The diflerence between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will and the other from a strong won't. The doctors say plains arc the hardest things in the world to contend with. What will wo do if thoy keep pouring in ? Solicitor W. A. Little’s speech in the Kil gore case is considered by many os one of the best delivered in our Court House since the war. There is probably not a city in the Uni ted States as large as Columbus that is without a number of wholesale houses. We not one that is strictly so. Alabama farmers have been telling about tho glorious crop prospects in Montgomery until thoy hjpve got every body there in a good humor. Matters really look pleasant now. Still the hogs are squealing on every comer. It is encouraging to see the little boys chase them. Th< city lias offered fifteen cents for every one, ant) the boys arc taking advantage of it. From present indications it is probable that the Press Convention to bo held in Atlanta on the sth of July will be large and enthusiastic. An excursion to Toccoa Falls will be tendered and will doubtless be accepted. Mr. Alexander St. Clair-Abrams, former ly editor of the Atlanta News, and one of the ablest writers in tho State, will go to Florida soon to engage in fanning. Ho announces that he has permanently re tired from the editorial tripod. A country newspaper wants to know “how, In the name of common sense, can a man wear one of these new-fangled, back-opening shirts In the flea season ?” The editor remarks that there are times when a fellow will die if he don’t scratch. Wo were mistaken in our supposition that Captain John G. Winter had resigns 1 the Captaincy of the Montgomery Greys. It was his law partner and cousin who was deeded First Lieutenant of the Governor’s Guards. Their initials are the same. This is the iluest June Weather that has been known in the city for several years Yesterday and the day before were de lightful. If this temperature would’con tinue, our people would have no desire for summer resorts. Col. W. A. Barden recovered, yesterday, his long lost and favorite dog “Seymour.” Six years ago he was missing, and nothing was heard of him until yesterday, when the Colonel saw liim following a wagon into the city, and at once claimed him. “Seymour” is a regular St. Bernarder. Ho inis*seen hard fare in the country, as his looks fully attested. The mutual recogni tion was instant, and both master and dog were delighted at meeting alter the ' long separation. ttourd of Trade. Tho regular meeting of the Board or Tfiflkfo rmd it the Council Chamber last I evening. About one dozen mombors were! pribent. President Alteu -took the chair, j Tho minutes of last mooting were read ■ and approved. Tho long roll of the Board was called and about ope member In every ton was | present. President Allen, ehaU'mun of Die Com- j in It tee on Transportation by U river, J stator} ttmf fie conversed with Maj. White side and others, and thought there was no ‘ difficulty about getting all the through j freight via the river to Columbus. If the Council will only make a conces sion of the wharfage, it can easily be brought here. This wharfage caused the j freight to 1h taken to Enfaula. If the j Board would appoint a committee to con- j fer With tho Council, the whole thing could j be arranged. Alderman Jordan thought there would jbe no difflculy with the Council. The j | wharfage would certainly )*; removed. | | He would present ft at the next meeting of; ! the Council. j On motion of Mr. T. J. Nuckolls, tho j same committee was continued and au- j ; thorized to confer with the Council as to the matter of through transportation. Mr. T. J. Nuckolls, member of the Com- on Insurance, announced that tho committee was not ready to report, and asked time. Time granted. President A. M. Allen spoke of the effort which was aljout to be made in this city to establish a female seminary here. This matter should interest us all, as it concern* the prosperity of •Columbus. Nothing would now do the city more good or be more calculated to attract residents. He had met several gentlemen who would lie glad to move here if we had a female college* or seminary. Many pass through Gqjuuibue and g<> to Mueon simply be cause there is to i>e found a fine female college. Many of these men would much prefer to locate In Columbus. One of the ; main reasons why tho value of real estate in Macon is so steadily increasing is be cause of her superior educational advan tages. It is eminently proper for the Board of Trade to consider a question which is of such vital importance, not only to the moral and intellectual welfare of the city, but also to its material pros perity. Captain (/Keefe, of the Committee on Transportation, spoke of the arrange ments that could be made to bring vast amounts of through freight through the city. If Council will remove the wharfage the freight can easily lx* obtained. Mr. H. 8. Estes spoke of the advantage which would accrue to tho city from a | good dirt road to Lumpkin. It will be some time before we can get a railroad i-there. We get nearly all the trade from | that sect ion. There is a great deal of j vagrancy In the city. If the law is vig ! orously enforced, we could get a chain i gang which could construct a fine road, j The city would receive a double benefit in | being ridded of u large amount of va | graney and provided with a line road that ! would bring a large amount of trade to ! tho city. PrMidenl Alton thought the good. finotumplkoto Lumpkin would greatly kMßOttt us. On motion of -Mr. T. J.Nuekolto, that | Mr. H. S. Estes was appofoteO a committee ■ of one to present tho subject at a subse quent meeting. On motion of Mr. Estt, Mayor Mell honny and Mr. William Watt were ap pointed to co-operate with him in prepar ! hig th* 1 subject for tho consldcratioi) of the Board at some subsequent meeting. Mr. T. J. Nuckolls thought the Board could very properly lake cognizance of | the attempts which will bo made to found ; a fftn&lo seminary in the city. Our poo j plftneiHl it very much. A good institution i will do a vast amount of good. The sub jeet/itight not to be droppiHt. It was one of great im[*ortam’c and deservotl carelMl attention. Mr. Ellnvrt Wells Uiought the Board ought to encourage suggestions. Goxl suggest ions often had to action. Often a little talk is very profitable. If there to no business, a talk tngeUier would he to*n eficial. Mceldent Allen thought anew lin*-of boats would l>e put on our river at no dto tantTdfiy. The Atlantic <!t Gulf Railroad, and tlie Florida Tiine, have be*-ome very much dlssiUtofi’d with the Central Road, and will engage in a rival enterprise. Our interests lie with tho Central Road. It is to is* hoped we will 00-opierate with tlietn. Th<f(?htir will appoint the committee to confer with tf* (>infrol Railiond. some time thin week. Capt. O’Keefe thought it would never do for our merchants t*> take part with the Central Road, or with any other road. Competition, one winter, saved the city about $30,000. H*' was in a place to know that it would not do for ua b> take sides with the Ct'ntral Railron and. Mr. H. S. Estes agreed with (.aptain O’Keefe. D tlie Ontrui Railroad made it to our interest to bike sides with it we should do so. If the other line will make it to our interests to patronize it wcought to do so. We have usually had higher freights than any other city similarly sit uated. President Allen thought our merchants had better keep on the got*! side of the Central Road if they can well do so.

The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their lmittnl application to the. industrial and useful arts ami the convenience and refinement of social life. Great wars ami consequent revolutions have oc curred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume ol the old work appeared, has happily been ended, aud anew course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. ‘ large accessions to our geographical knowl edge have been matte by the ind< tatiguide ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of the last de cade. with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view a multitude of naw men, whose narm sure in every one's mouth, and of Whose lives ovary (>Bc is curious to know tin* particulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the de tails are ae yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publication* of the day. but ! which ought now to take their place in perum ( dent and authentic history. lu preparing the present edition f**r the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to j bring down the information tu the latest pomi- I bie dates, and to furnish an accurate account of | the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest I inventions in the practical arts, ae well as to give j Ia succinct and original record of th progress of j Lpolitical and historical events. j The work has been begun after long and care- j i ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carry iag it on to a suwceasfnj, terrn- I ination. | None of the original stereotype plates have | been used, but every *page has been printed on | new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopaedia, with ! the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a lar greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition : as have been suggested by longer cxporieaice and j 1 ! enlarged knowledge. 1 The illustrations which aro introduced for the I first time in the present edition have been added I not for the sake of pictorial effect, bnt to give ! greater lucidity and force to the explanations in | the text. They embrace all branches of science j and of natural history, and depict the most j famous and remarkable features of scenery, architecture and art, as well as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embeiishment. no pains have hcun spared fcu in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the Uycloptedia, and worthy of its j high character. !
