Ah wns announm! by our gpcciftl dls
phtches of Saturday night, published In
Hnnd&y'e paper, Judge Bartlett refused
in grunt Finnegan and Cash anew trial.
Tito dispatch further stated that Kilgore's
case lm<i been lield up, under considera
tion. Tide simple announcement would
scout strange, us Kilgore's case hardly
contained a mitigating Circumstance.
Tho reason the decision In illgoro'S Case
was held up was, boeauso in the irml.iT.il
for anew trial, was yicorpyrabjd objoc
lloAi/fo tfie refc&lnmy' of tlio adjournment,
of the court, and Judge Johnson'saikimirii
fng it.
In the ease of Finnegan and Cash that
point was not made before Judge Bartlett.
This explains why the one case was belli
up and the other two Immediately pro
nbaueed upon.
Wo have not learned whether Judge
Bartlett has delivered his decision in the
Kilgore ease.

HOHOK TO THE ILLUSTKIOUft DEAD.
The funeral of Gen. H. L. which
took Hunday morning, waHono of the
moat impowlnff over witnenaed in thin city,
and will be a memorable event in It hiab>-
ry. It fteemed that the whole city ren
derwi tlio honor due the illustrious dead,
and that, ail were ready to pay a tribute to
his memory.
.There certainly never waa a funeral in
this city so generally uttended by all
classes. Nut only those who had the
hsnor of an acquaintance with the de
ceased were present. These would alone
have rnado a large body. The whole pop
ulation was represented. Every class was
to bo seen In the procession and around
the grave.
It was the funeral of a representative
man, a man known and loved by the j>eo
plo, and tho people in masses attended it.
It had been announced that the funeral
ceremonies would take place at the resi
dence at nine o'clock. Long before this
hour a steady stream of people could Is?
seen moving toward the house.
By half-pust eight o'clock the parlors
were filled witji friends of the family; tin
yard was full of those who could not find
room Inside, and Brood street, in front <>l
tho residence, was almost blocked.up wile
vehicles. Crowds wore standing on Mott’s
Green waiting for the procession to be
formed.
About nine o’clock the Columbus Guards
and City Light Guards arrived from their
armories. They were followed by Young
America Fire Company, whose engine is
mimed in honor of Gen. Beuning.
Boon after nine o'clock the funeral ser
vices wore performed by Rov. C. W. Hun
ter, pastor of Trinity Church. He road
the beautiful ceremony of the Episcopal
Church in a most impressive manner. Tie
parlors and hall of the house were crowded
during tho services.
The coffin was a plain inetalie ease and
was beautifully adorned with flowers. Tie
whole lid was covered with a namtequiaib
floral arrangement* Near tho head was a
large cross, beautifully made of white
flowers and surrounded by small wreaths.
The other portions of the lid were covered
with flowers scarcely loss beautiful.
THE PALL BEAIiEKH.
After tlio coremonios over tho remains
they were borne out of the housejfollowi-d
by the bereaved family and relatives, th*-
officiating minister and the friends In tie
house.
The following gentlemen were the pall
bearers: Hon. Martin J. Crawford, Judg-
Porter Ingram, Major R. J. Moses, Cob
M. H Blandford, Mr. A.G. PoLauney,
Cub W. A. Barden, Hon. John Peabody
and Thomas Chaffin.
As soon as the remains were placed in
the bourse,
THE PKOCBSOION
was formed by Col. W. 8. Shepherd, with
the assistance of Lieut. A. W. Brantley.
After some delay all was arranged and
the procession moved In the following or
der:
First came a field band of music playing
the dead mat ch, and leading the long line
that followed with slow and solemn tread.
Next came the City Light Guards thirty
five in number, commandM by Lieut. 1
L. Brooks. They were followed by the
Columbus Guards, commanded by Lieut.
C. B. Grimes, and numbering thirty men.
Then came Young America Fire Com
pany dressed in black and wearing badges
of mourning. The company numbered
about thirty members, and was command
ed by Mr. W. H. Williams, Chief of the
Fire Department.
THE OLD ( %)S FEDKIIATEH.
The next feature in the procession was
one of the most striking. It consisted of
the old Confederate soldiers, wlio sadly
paid a lust tribute to him whoso voice so
many of them had heard In buttle, and
whoso name they all revered and loved.
There were two hundred of tho veterans.
They were formed into line irrespective of
runk, and were oommnmhxl by Captain
G. E. Thomas. They wero of various
ages. Home of them must have boon mere
boys in the service. Some wero old men
who hud passed through the dangers and
shocks of more than one war. In the pro
cession wero the scarred veterans of many
a battle field into which they hud boon led
by a commander whom they loved and
now mourned. This part of the proces
sion was the oontro of observation.
All this part of tho procession was under
command of Col. W. 8 Shepherd.
After tho military and fireman passed
tho other part of tlio procession followed
in this order:
Tho officiating clergyman, Rev. W. C.
Hunter was in tlio carriage with tho at
tendant physicians, l)rs. E. F. Colzey and
F, A. Stanford. Then came the hoarse
drawn by black horses and containing the i
remains.
Tins OLD Alt MY HOUSE
came after the hoarse lod by old Billy, the
faithful servant who followed Gen. Bon
ning all during the war, with tho fidelity
and obedience which so often character
ized the best ty jm? of the negro slave. The
old army horse had on tho saddle which j
Gen. Benulng used during the war. His •
army boots wero placed reversed in the j
stirrups.
It was an affecting sight to see th !
aged negro, who hail boon so faithful to
his master, following slowly behind his |
mortal remains as they were carried to
their hist resting place.
Next came tho pall bearers in carriages.!
They wore followed by the family of the
deceased.
Then came tho members of the bar
about twenty in number, accompanied by
tho Sheriff, Clerk of tho Court, and all the
County officers.
Then followed the City Council headed
by Mayor John Mcllhouny.
After this part of tho procession came
the citizens generally in carriages, while
the sidewalks along tho whole line of the
procession were lined with pedestrians,
all marching to the cemetery.
The procession itself was a half a mile
long and numbered several hundred peo
ple. Hundreds and hundreds of people,
white and black, and of all ages, were
walking along the streets by the proces
sion.
Tho living stream poured slowly on to
the cemotery, as tho band continued to
play the dead march.
AT THE CEMETERY.
NY hen the procession arrived at tho
cemetery it was discovered that a large
crowd of people had alnxidy gathered
there and were awaiting the arrival of the
funeral train.
After tho procession marched iu there
was.one of the largest crowds ever seen
them, except on Decoration days. Hie
number present was estimated at from
two thousand to twenty-five hundred
people.
The procession moved up to the grave,
near the t?enUv of the cemetery, where it
halted.
The ceremonies .at the grave were per
formed by Rev. C. VV. Hunter in the same
impressive manner cut those? at tho house.
TUB HALtTTEH.
After tho coffin had been lowered ink)
the grave and dirt was thrown In by the
sexton, tho Columbus Guards and City
Light Guards wore drawn up unji each
company fired a salute of three rounds.
After this the crowd slowly dis/nTsed.
The companies inarched bock under com- j
rnand of Captain Shepherd.
There has never boon just such a funeral
before In the history of the city. It will
long be remembered as one of tho saddest
events In tho history of Columbus.
Never have the people came out with j
such unanimity to honor the memory of j
any man. There was a very large atten
dance of negroes, who, like the whites,
loved tho memory of Gen. Henning.
Tho scene at the cemetery was a sad ,
one. The streets of the city seemed d*so-;
late and deserted, for almost everybody i
had left them to honor tho burial of one j
whoso life was spent iu doing good for his
city, his Slate, and mankind, and whose 1
memory will ever remain dear to those j
who knew and loved him and to the thou
sands who knew tho man by his noble!
deeds and self-sacrificing life.

Cuss eta, July Util.
Kd*. (blumbuH Timet*: There is soaroe
any reading maiter in the ( olumns of
your valuable paper more entertaining to
me tluin tliat of our farming interest.
Although the Times is filled with the
very bent, nothing delights me more than
to read the cheering reports front differ
ent sections of our poor struggling South
that crops are promising, and judging ;
that some at least of your other numerous
readers are like myself, I again send you
“good tidings” from Chattahoochee. We
feel grateful to Old Master for tho refresh
ing showers with which, for some days
since, we have been favored, and I tell you
they make the vegetable kingdom look
gay. It does my heart good to say that I
our corn crop has riot boeh more prornis- i
Ing for several years, and the Important
part of it is, there is more of it planted.
Recently I have conversed with several of
our best planters, and the general opinion
Is, that with no further disaster, Chatta
hoochee will make com enough for her
own consumption In 1H76. Hon. H. Van
horn, a largo planter in the northern part
of the county, informs me corn In his sec
tion is not quite so good, but the late ruins
will help It wonderfully. Mr. Martin Hol
lis, In the eastern part of the county, says
he has a fifteen acre field,of common piny
woods land in com, which, with ifloderate
rains, will make him thirty bushels per
acre. Oh, for more such men!
Potatoes and peas arc now doing well.
Cotton has pretty well worked, and
at this time is not discouraging; but there
is no estimating the result, for it is yet
subject to a thousand and one ills. Almost j
every farmer says he intends sowing wheat!
and oats next fall. Glorious resolution, j
this! Be sure to carry it out.
8o far as I can learn the freed men are |
working well and contentedly, notwith- |
standing supplies have been Issued eau- j
tioualy. The black man now nmls but j
one thing for him to get along and do well!
with his old master, and thut is simply for ,
“Undo Sam” to keep his hands off and U-t j
him alone.
The health of the country is remarkably
good for the season. Aliy one who will
take the trouble to notice, can readily see j
that our people are more cheerful, their j
hopes are strengthened, and their future
grows brighter and brighter. A few more j
good crops, and an entire removal of that I
galling yoko—RadicAliam will make our j
happiness complete. Tis true, the haley- j
on days of ante helium were great and glo- j
rious, but should the will to work and \
make our homes still in
crease, there Is ffi tho near future a glory j
and honor for us, like that of Job in his j
last days. Burely, for fourteen long, weary
years we have been passing through a
dark midnight of troubles, trials and dis
appointments, and for ten of these years i
has been added the iron herd of oppres
sion ; but If GOd will only give us strength
to hold out faithful, as did Job of old, no j
people’s future is greater than ours.
The Times comes to us regularly, and is
the people’s favorite, for, together with its i
being a high-toned puper, wo have confi- i
deuce in it, and it has many well wishers, j
May that Columbus college Ik* a success,
not a thing merely talked of, but a reality, j
It will benefit both Columbus ami the sur- !
rounding country. The Public Schools are
now in operation, but the machine will
never work well without more greo&o.

Miss Annie B. Prescott then read the
Valedictory in an easy, graceful and love

j Gentlemen—You will pi*?ase ship us an
i other supply of your invaluable Female
' Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that thik remedy gives
: better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since 1868,
; and witnessed many remarkable cures by
I it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and Sickly
i until sin* was twonfcy-six years old, when
I she was married. Her husband lived two
years ami dini. She continued in bad
j health; in fact, she has never been what
! a woman might to be. A few months
; after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
stort* and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
reetions. It ha* cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ls on. and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
i iug widow -with tfie use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, uosfciqg her only
