Kxcl'emeut Yesterday.
Yesterday was an exciting day in Co
lumbus. For tho tint time in a week we
are prepared to chronicle an excitement.
It happened yesterday evening in the
shape of a good-sized runaway. Two
mules attached to a dray, laden with corn
and bacon, became disgusted with their
load, to-wit: Western corn and bacon, and
manifested their disapproval of hauling
that kind of produce by a promiscuous
runaway. They ran down Randolph into
Broad street, and back into Oglethorpe.
Arriving opposite Thompson’s stable they
heard tho cry of a horse in distress, and
deposited the corn in front of the stable.
A part of the wagon and the bacon was
last soon about Kellett’s corner. The
driver arrested tho mules, one axle and a
blind bridle In the Northern Liberties.
Soon after tho accident a dozen special
blacksmiths were on the spot bidding for
the job of repairing. In a short while
thereafter everything was quiet. The
barbers resumed their evening nap and
the loafers talked over the event.
Exhibition I.uwt Yluht.
The exhibition of Professor G. It. Glenn’s
Helect School came off last night at the
Opera House, and it was in all respects
one of the most complete as well as one oi
the best conducted entertainments of tho
kind wo ever saw.
Fine orchestral music was furnished by
Prof. Chase, Miss Mollio Thomas and
others.
The selections road were line and wore
certainly well rendered. The “Hanging
of the Crane” and “Snobbleton’s Mistake”
were good and were greatly enjoyed.
The original compositions were extra
ordinarily good, and were read well.
Where there was so much excellence
and so much worthy of praise, wo cannot
discriminate.
At the conclusion of the exhibition Prof.
Glenn delivod medals Ito the following
young ladies:
Composition—Miss Ida Brannon.
lteading-Miss Lilly //arrison.
Scholarship modal—highest honor—di
vided between Miss Florence Verstille and
Miss Annie Patten.
Prof. Glenn made a neat talk to the
young ladies as ho delivered the medals.
They were beautiful and were made by
Wittich & Kinsel.
The audience went away after a most
enjoyable evening. Prof. Glenn ought to
be proud of his school. His school has a
toucher of rare ability, and Columbus is
fortunate in the possession of both.

John Mcllhenny, sworn: Was
Mayor at the time of the killing; am
Mayor now ; was at the corner of the
Court House yard talking with the
street overseer and policeman Rol>-
urts; saw the boys coming out of tlio
yard with ladders to light the
lamps; don’t think tho lamps on
Broad street had been lit; I heard
two shots and then a rapid succession
of allots; 1 run to Ban kin House cor
ner und kept on up tlio street; met
C'upt. Cush and his brother and Mo
£achren,.who had young Cash by tbe
arm ; two men were with Casli; a man
named Palmer was one of them ; wit
ness offered to report what Cash said
to him when he mot him: State oo
jeoLed to this evidence; objection sus
tained. Witness continued: Went on
up the street; saw a mail lyiug in the
street; did not recognize him ; then I
came hack to the Court House; no
(amps were lit when I got to the
scene o 1 the killing; don’t think any
lumps were lit in the vicinity of the
killing. Witness unswered a great
many questions about lumps in the
vicinity. The police carried pistols;
it has always been the custom; there
is uo ordinance either for or against
their carrying pistols; Cash was on
duly as captain of the police force.
Cross-examined: All the liring
lasted about a minute; gave no or
ders when i met tho Cashes and Mc-
Eachron about what should be done
with the prisoners; stayed on Broud
street five or ten minutes; lamps un
usually lit before dark; could recog
nize a man thirty feet off when I got
up on Broad street; did not see Cal
houn or Moore at that time; judge
by having seen the ladders go out
that tho lamps wore not lighted;
never saw Cash’s pistol until alter t he
shooting, that I know of ; saw him I
have it a few days after the killing;!
asked him to let me see it.
Ko-direct; Cos!. Thornton asked the
witness if the pistol could have been
grasped by the hand and the little
linger wounded without the ball hlt
ling the pistol. Judge Crawford ob
jected to this question. Objection
overruled. Witness said ho did not
think tho little linger could have
been wounded without the stock or
barrel had been hit.
William Wadsworth (colored,): Re
member the time of the killing; talk
ed with Holland a short time before ;
he said Cush had used his mime;
, hat Cush had denied it and lie was
not satisfied übout it. und ho intend
ed to show that Cush was not the
man he was represented to be; that |
ail tho men he had killed wore cow
ards; and that Cush had cither to ,
light him or deliver u slick to Cal
houn ; ho had written a note to Cal-!
houn, and said it was no credit to J
him to whip a one-legged man; that
Cash was tlio man he wanted to light;
that Cash had threatened him two or
ill roe times, ami la* olther hail to
lifflit or show tho white leather; tohl
Ousli about three or four buys before
the iliffleulty; knew Holland twenty
years; ids general eliaraeter was that
ne was dangerous.
Cross-examined ; Talked to Holland
about a week or ten days before tlio
Killing; talked at tho Muscogee
Home corner; nobody else was there ;

talk with Cash whenever I meet him ;
tuik with Cash every day i reckon ;
don’t remember talking to him three
nours in this yard last, Saturday; on
tho night of the killing I was at
home; saw Robert Rliodes; Holland
began the conversation between ns.
Re-direct: Col. Thornton asked the
witness what Robert Rhodes said to
him. Gen. Benning objected to this;
objection sustained. Live übout sev
enty-live yards from Cush.
Henry Hockney, sworn ; Remember
tlie evening of the killing; saw Hol
land that day about noon ; be was at
my shop next to Mun,lay’s stable; he
showed me a pistol in his coat pocket
md also drew one from his pants
pocket; showed ine a slick of Cul
uoun's, und said tie was gtuug to
make that big-headed Bill Cash take
mat stick to Calhoun before night or
ne was going to kill him ; drew a pis
tol and said whenever lie brought
mat out he would settle Cash ; he put
this in his pocket and said, "if that's
uot sufficient I've got some more of
it,” putting his hand in his coat pock
et. 1 told him Cash might hoar of
what he said; he said, "You ain’t go
ing to say nothing about it ?” Told
nim he did not know whether i would
or uot. I went right out to limit for
Cash; saw him near the post-office;

nised him afterwards as Dr. Palmer.
I went on to Cowdery’s steps; haw a
man stop about ten feet from me. 1
then saw somebody lying on the

scene of the killing; was not looking
down the street when the tiring be
gan ; did not see the first shot. Did
not see Mr. Ed Howell when I first

to him ought to bo taken in as evi
dence. Judge Bartlett refused to ad
mit any declaration made to Captain
Blanchard.
Major Salisbury took the stand
again ; exhibited a pistol to tho Jury
which ho said was the one that was

mun ; he wus considered a dungemus
inau ; can’t say that he had the rcj.u

The pio-nto’of Wilson Williams Lodge,
of Russell county, Ala., was attended by
about four hundred persons, including
those from Hamilton and vicinity. Ev
erything went off smoothly, especially the
floor management, under the direction of
Mr. C. Buchanan, which was admirably
conducted. In fact, eueli ami every one
did liis whole duty satisfactorily even to
tlio most exacting.
An impromptu address by Hon. James
M. Mobley was most fitting and happy,
and did good for the Christian cause in
which he has so long been enlisted. He
was followed by Hon. Wm. I. Hudson, in a
fluent and instructive address, which left
Us truthful and Christian mark deeply im
printed on tlio hearts of his hearers. Mr.
A. J. Nix. in behalf of tho Lodge, then re
turned thanks to the Lodge and citizens
of Hamilton and vicinity for their courte
sies and attendance on this occasion.
Atl P. M. dinner enough for thrice the
number present was spread under the
shade of the huge oaks, and all visitors
were pressed to partake; and enough was
left to feed hundreds still. Never have we
seen a greater variety of eatables and
goodies spread for the same number of
people.
At 2 ::10 dancing again commenced, and
at 5:30 the shrill snort of the rhinoceros,
“H. S. Estes,” summoned thn tired, yet
still happy party to Ktngsboro depot.
After a pleasant trip of one hour we land
ed safely at Oglethorpe street.
Thanks to numberless friends for fa
vors; also thanks of Lodge to Eagle and
Phenix Mills for favors rendered.
The affair was a success, and will, we
hope, bo soon repeated.

HEARTY, BLOOMING WIDOW.
Marietta, Ga., March 9.1870.
Mi HHrn. Linuljield ft Lb. :
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We liave lje**n selling it since 18G8,
and witimssed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, when
she was married. Her husband lived two
vears and died. She continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle ofc your Regula
tor from us, and t<Mk it a*eordii)g to di
rections. It has cured her sound and
.well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on. and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only
throe dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
great* success with your valuable reme
dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
W. Boot ft Sons.
