I ooutiuued : After we lia i turned down
j the street we again met Holland and
j his two friends. Holland asked me
uot to forget what he told me. Told
him I would not carry the message
or ths stick to Calhoun. My brouiei
said he would carry it. Holland drew
a pistol and pointed at my brother,
and said, "Wliut have you got to do
with it. you G dd ds nofab—h.”
I told him not to shoot that boy, he
was my brother. Ho immediately
turned and fired at mount then at

I commenced shooting at Holland
He backed against the door. He drew
another pistol from his breast and

my brother just above me having a

crying, aud said ho was shot. Me-
Each run came up and arrested tin
brother. We all came on down tin
street. Met several parties. Met
Mayor Mollhenny. We came on to
the guardhouse. I heard that J. T.
Holland was coming after me with a
shot-gun, and intended to kill me. 1
claimed the protection of the Sheriff
and others. I always avo ded de
ceased whenever I saw him. Had
been told of many threats he made
against me. Hackney told me of
threats the day of the shooting. Al
ways avoided Holland. Murphy told
me of threats Holland had made
against me. I was not present when
Calhoun and Holland had adiffieulty.
Holland thought I interferred in that
difficulty. I wanted no difficulty with
Holland. Had heard that he ' was a
dangerous man, and quick to shed
blood. Am very sorry that the affair
happened. I acted not in malice, but
in self defense. If I could have got
ten to Holland I would have held his
band. My brother is accommodating,
and he offered to carry the stick out
of kindness. Did hot kuow mv
brother had a pistol. Never allowed
him to carry one. If there had been
any wav in the world to huve avoided
tlie difficulty I would have done It. I
was going home when the affair oc
curred. I made my living by Brief?
a police Officer. I knew I would be
suspended if I hud ft difficulty, uud
therefore avoided all fuss with any
body. Am very sorry the difficulty
occurred. Was drawing ray pistol
when I wus shot. Did all I could to
keep clear <>f Mr. Holland. Avoided
him on all occasions. Preferred his
friendship to his enmity. I did what
I did to -ave my own life. I could
not get out of Holland’s way. I
would have done so if I could. Have
never sought the reputation of a
bully or a fighting man. Would not
be considered so. Ain sorry the uff.nr
occurred.
THE SPEECHES.
The court adjourned after the pris
oner’s statement until three o’clock
in the afternoon, when it reassembled
to hear argument of counsel. The
ease was opened for the State by Col.
M. H. Blundford. He made u pro
omul legu! argument, and, us usual,
vus impressive in manner and strong
in style. He charged the prisoner
,villi being engaged with his brother,
Thomas McEachren and others in a
■otispiracy to take the life of the de
ceased A. H Calhoun he charged as
the originator of the conspiracy.
Like Voti M fke, of Prussia, he had
laid his idaiis and pi iced his forces,
nut when the victim came within tin
toils they closed upon him and muff
.tered him. He commented at length
on the evidence, and maintained tlia
the testimony of one man who was
near the killing, and in a position to
see, was worth more than that of ten
thousand wlio were farther off. The
discrepancies of witnesses for.the de
fense were discussed un i exhibited in
the strongest light to tho jury. Col.
Blundford argued the ease negative
ly ; that is. li*- first maintained that
it wus not justifiable homicie; then
that it was not manslaughter: and
that if it was neither of these, it was
necessarily murder. Tlie law placed
it under one of tln-se three heads.
The speech was listened to with
marked attention. It was two hours
long.
Col. Blandfo.ll was followed by
Charles Coleman, Esq., City Attor
ney, for the defense. He spoke an
Hour and n half, aud made a truly
fine effort. He ridiculed the idea o:
i conspiracy to take Holland's life,
ind charged Holland aud iiis friends
•viih conspiracy against Cash. He
claimed ttiut the prisoner's act was
-me of pure self defense; there was
no escape from it. and to save j
uis life tie was compelled to
do il; Holland was loaded with!
pistols; he had threatened Cash re- !
pratedly, and sought a diffi rally with .
him.
Tne si leech was well arranged and :
was delivered with a fluency uud
force that reflected honor upon its j
author. He is a young man and is!
establishing a fine fame for himself, j
His style is pleasing and Ids delivery
very effective. He held the attention j
of his hearers well and placed Ids i
argument in both a strong and at-;
tractive shape. Mr. Coleman spoke j
an hour and a half.
Judge J. F. l’ou followed on the |
part of tlie .State. He spoke of the l
reputation Columbus had abroad for;
bloodshed and violence, and asked
why it was so. The fact was indis- j
putable. This repution originated
from the fact that judges aud juries j
*ad not, punished crime as they
should. It was high time that justice
were being enforced and he uppeuled
o the jury to do so.
Judge Pou then took up the case
and gave a running account, of the
whole testimony, weaving in wit ness
after witness wi.li masterly skill, and
presented the whole vividly to the
jury. Tho evidence of parties who
were distant from the scene wus com
pared with that of those who were
near and had a better opportunity to
nidge. Tin- evidence of witnesses
proven to be elsewhere was torn into
shreds. The ease was presented in a
very strong shape, and the course of
strong logical argument was broken
only by flights of eloquence, refresh
ing wit und apt anecdotes. The
speech was a masterpiece. Its rheto
ric was fine ami its logic convincing.
We have rarely seen a speech have
such an effect. It was delivered with
rare oratorical power, and after the
sp aker had concluded praises of his
effort weiv heard on all sides. Many
pronounced it the finest speech they
had heard in the Court-house since
the war, and all who heard it were
unanimous in tlie opinion that it wus
a production of rare merit and power.
Judge Pou spoke over two hours,
but his hearers had their attention
closely fixed on him all the while.
Judge Pou was followed by Carey
J. Thornton for the defense. He
spoke about an hour, and presented
his ease well. He sustains the evi
lence of witnesses for tlie defense,
and denied that perjury was proven
against any of them. He pointed out
tho various discrepancies of the
State’s witnesses, and then dwelt at
length on the proof that Holland was
heavily armed; that he had often
threatened to make the prisoner do
certain acts or kill him. and that the
affray in which lie was killed was
brought about by his own seeking.
The idea of a conspiracy to take the
life of the deceased was boldly com
batted. The speech was heard with
profound attention by a very large
crowd, and was considered a good
effort for the prisoner.
After Mr. Thornton couclu led his
speech. Judge Bartlett announced
that as it was then ten o’clock, and
the argument, if completed, would
protract itselr too far into the night,
the court would adjourn until half
past eight o’clock this morning.
Col. B. A. Thornton will then con
clude for the defense, and Judge M.
J. Crawford for the State.
Judge Bartlett was disposed to en
force the rule in this ease and allow
only two speeches to a side, but at
the solicitation of counsel he con
sented to reiax the rule and hear
three on a side.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■■ ■
The argument will probably be
concluded about noon, when the case
will be submitted to the jury.
Yesterday the wife and mother of
the prisoner were in tho court room
and by his side.
Mud Affliction.
Death in a family circle is always sad;
but It is rendered doubly so, when the vic
tim is an infant and the only child. On
yesterday died, at the residence of Mr. T.
S. Spear, the infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
Toombs Howard. The little sunbeam that
hut recently gladdem-d their lives, had
scarcely completed their happiness, ere il
was taken away by the hand of a ruling
Providence. We learn the nurse was fond
ling with the haby, aud accidentally let It
fall. The fall produced contusion of the
brain, and In a short time death ended his
sufferings.
The entire community will sympathize
with the young mother. It Is probably
the hardest blow that will ever fall upon
her life.
Til*- funeral takes place from the resi
dence of Mr. Spear, in Liuwood, this
evening.
Ociitli nfu t’hrUtluii Lady.
About tvn o'clock last Mrs. N. S j
Rowland died at tho residence of Mr. Robt. I
L. Bass. This most estimable lady was >t
native of Kentucky, but f<*r many years
has resided with her son-in-law, Mr. Robt,
L. Bass. Pure in heart, ho ever remem
bered those who wore unfortunate; noble
in mind, she (lid the work of tho good Sa
maritan even unto death. She had arrived
at near four score years; and in parting I
with this world left monuments of ffood .
deed in her pious path which none can ex- j
cel. She has tfone to claim her reward.
Ilitrd fttow.
About five o’clock yesterday there was
quite a strong blow over the city. The
wind was strong, and the dust blew in all
directions. Quite a stir was created in the
court-room, which was crowded. The dar
kies evidently thought a Harris county
tornado had found its wav to our city, and
they made a general rush for the door.
An attorney grabbed his hat and umbrel
la and ran completely outdoors. The con
fusion and disturbance was considerable,
but it was over in a minute, and every
body was laughing at his neighbor for be
ing so easily seared.
IC obln*.
A pair of robins, mates, were rusticating j
vesterday in tho Cemetery. They arc i
doubtless drummers, investigating the!
chances for their unh itched eggs in the j
swamps near bv. Extreme warm weather j
and imlari i never fail to drive many of i
the feathered tribes to .seek cooler places j
in and near cities and villages, but never
do they desert their nests until their eggs
are decayed.
Xext Week'i Bumlrom.
Judge Bartlett announced yesterday
that Judge Johnson would take up the
criminal docket on Monday, and would
take up the cases in their order. The call i
would be peremptory, and all the parties ;
and witnesses were a vised to lx* ready, j
The delivery of the jail would first come!
u;, and after thiS is finished the remain- i
ing criminal cases will come up in their
order.
Humored Cyclone.
It was rumored in the city last night
that a destructive cyclone had passed
somewhere between Columbus and Ma
can, doing terrible damage. Nothing defin
ite could be obtained; and it is to !>o hoped
the rumor had no foundation, as this sec*
tion has suffered tx) much already from
I tornadoes and cyclones.

Marietta, Ga., March 9,1870.
MtSHrt*. Bradjield it Cos.:
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 tins remedy giviv
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since
and witnessed many remarkable cures b\
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
years and died. She continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what
a womau ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to oui
store and bought a bottle of y our Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, ami to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of s our Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal ol
money without any benefit. Wishing you
great success with y r our valuable reme
dies, we are, respectlullv yours, etj*.,
