Trial Of the Ashbnrn Murderers.

ATLANTA, June S0.--The Court for
the trial of the Columbus prisoners
met this morning. Ex-Gov. Brown.
and three associates appeared for
the prosecution and Alexander H.
Stephens and others for the defense.
Mr.. Stephens entered u plee in be-
half Of the prisoners. They do not
wish, he said, to be understood as
admitting tho rightful jurisdiction of
this Court, constituted and organized
as it is under rules and articles of war
to try Officers according to the law,
and customs of war; to take charge
of the trial against the laws of the
Stale Of Georgia, whereof they are
accused; they being all engaged in
pursuits of civil life and in no way
connected with the military service,
either in the land or the naval forces
of the United States or of the militia
thereof in actual service. They here
by insist that this trial is not in CON
formity with the laws of the land.
nor in accordance with their right of
trial by jury, as guaranteed under
the Constitution of the United States
They all plead mot guilty" Charles.
Marshall, a Sergeant in the United
States army, was the first witness.
His testimony consumed the entire

and others in the shooting of Ashburn.

In short this nomination of Seymour aud

which BY the way has always been a prihci-
pie in their platform. The Blair policy on
finance IS in cOnsonauce with the vest, but
Numerically opposite to that OF the Sag
mcar wing in the Eastern section, while the
southern r%eaotionists form a third repellent

ter, it one, to the manne- born, dares to
express n difference 10 their opinions-that
they have the sole right to control the col

Upon tie whole, this triped-baeking Of the
Seymour-B Blair nomination Of the Democrat
&c party is the exponent Of his diunionism
and anarchy, and will be so regarded.
