The United States VS.. The Armands-
The French Budget.

PARIS, July 1.-The case of the United
States Us. The Armands, builders of Con-
federate iron-clads; came before the court
to-day. Berryer, as counsel for the United
States, opened the case. He charged the
Armands with having violated their own
pledges, and with acting in bad faith to-
ward all parties. BY their conduct they
had exposed France, at critical moment,
to the risk of war with the United States.
lie recited the facts of the case, and
showed the falsity of the allegations that
efforts had been made to sell the vessels
built for the Confederate Government to
other Powers. He demanded that all con-
tractors, builders, and others concerned in
this business, be. compelled to refund the
money stolen from private pockets.
The Advocate will reply on the

In the Corps Legislatif to-day the debate
on the budget was continued. NJ. Theirs

THIRTEENTH DAY.
Testimony for the Defence Continued
REBUTTING EVIDENCE.
The court was opened at about half-past

The court was opened at about half-past
A. NJ. ..
Mrs. Miles Phillips was called She re-
membered that the accused was at her
house, On Clay street; Richmond, on the Sun
,sv after the 18th Of February; 1867. Was
confident of the date because the family at
the time were anxious about removal, ex-
pectins to ret possession of a certain house
on the 2ad. The accused stayed all night,
and slept with Oscar Phillips. About two
weeks afterward he was there again, coming
Saturday hight and staying until Monday
morning, when he Went OF IN an omnibus.
On cross-examination this witness said
she had never had any conversation with
her husband about the incidents referred
to. The disappointment about the house
was the subject of particular conversation
at the supper table ON the night OF the visit
of the accused. Did not mention her re-
collection of the facts to her husband be-
cause She did not want to be summoned,
but communicated tiam to gentleman
named Pitcher, whom she met st O place
where she was getting wood. She had been
requested before by Oscar Phillips to come
TO court to do anything she could to aid the
prisoner, but rad never been summoned.
Mrs. Levy, daughter Of. Mr.. Miles
Phillins testified that she resided with her
parents in February, '67, and remembered
that the accused visited them on the sum
dav after the 18th of that month. Also
remembered his second visit, about TWO
weeks after the first. These facts were
fixed in her mind by the conversation ABOUT
the house disappointment. =,
On examination, Mrs. Levy sald
that the trial and the controversy aoon1 the
date of the visit of the accused had been a
subject of fteauent conversation between
her father, her mother; and herself. hao
never been requested or summoned 10 teS-
tify until the present trial. NJ,
Samuel Phillips, q brother OF Miles fhli-
Inns. testified to seeing the trunk and hand
trunk belonging to the accused at the la, iaI-
ter's house on Monday in February, 'ol'
but couldn't say positively whether It was
before the 22d. 1t was certainly peiore
the LIST of March. Didn't know that the
accused was married, and didn't think any
of his relatives knew it.
Sarah Anderson (colored) deposed that
she lived with MIR. William II. Peasants
on Church Hill, in February OF last year.
Remembered that the accused called there
one day in that month for Miss Indiana
Turner. 1t was about P. M. Miss Iur.
ner was not there, although she was IN the
habit of visiting the house.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.-The people of the
North will probably never know, as they
cannot fully realize, all the frightful and
inhuman fortunes inflicted upon the South
at the hands of military satraps. Our
attention has been called to case quite as
fragrant as that CT the Columbus prisoners.
It.seems that about six weeks e, Fede-
raj soldier was killed at Warrent0n in this
State. No clue, so far as we can ascertain,
has vet been afforded to detect the perpe-
traitor of this violence. But the military
authorities fine gentlemen sent here
to preserve order and protect the innocent
assumed full knowledge Of the case, and
without cognizance of law, aud without the
feeble show of atfidavits from any party or
parties whatsoever, arrested peaceful anu
iuofensive citizen Of Warrenton by the
name of Cody.
This gentleman was hustled off to Milledge-
Vile, with manacles on his ankles and
wrists. While thus chained, and in dun
ceon, he was brutally attacked by four or
five soldiers, who had been imprisoned in
the same apartment for trivial misdemean-
ors. These soldiers set upon him because
they deemed him to be the slayer of one OF
their comrades. AS their superiors did
not give the unfortunate man chance to
exculpate himself neither did these base
underlings allow him the charity of a doubt.
One of them kicked him in the mouth, leay-
ing hideous cash upon his lip, and MIR.
Cody was finally saved from fatal conse-
quences through the rescue of sergeant OF
the guard.
A military commission was then deslg-
mated for his trial at Milledgevillc, and one
day's notice given Of the time to Mr.. Cody's
counsel. Upon repairing to Milledgeyille
the counsel was informed that the order for
trial had been revoked, and Atlanta substl-
tuted for Milledgeyille.
The trial took place 100 miles from the
residence Of the prisoner, and occupied
twenty-onc days during which tine Mr..
Cody was marched from his cell to the
court chained like felon at his ankles and
wrists.
Now mark the sequel. After an abrupt
seizure, maltreatmeut (when manacled) by
Federal soldiers. transportation and i'm
prisQnment remote from his residence, q
tedious trial, and the degrading handouts
Of condemned criminal, he was allowed
to 20 homeward fully acquitted Of the
charge against him.
There is not an innocent man in Georgia
who is not liable to similar fate. Will
the people of the North abet and encourage
the awful humiliation of the South If 60
they may we'll shudder for their own fate
when tyranny has exhausted Itself upon Ut
and seeks its victims al:;ong themselves.
We trust that Mr.. Cody or his counsel
will publish detailed account of this dark
business, and we hope, for the sake Of hui
mainly, that the picture may be less horri
BILE than our informant warrants US to be-
lieve.--Auqusta Constitutionalist.

WONDERFUL TIDE OF MMIGRATIoN.-
The current Of cmigra ton from Germany
to the United States, always large, is now
expanding into almost startling proportions.
1t appears that from January to June the
number of emigrants who started for the
United States by way of Bremen was more
than $1,000. In addition to this, nine
steamers were advertised in the beginning
of June to sail from Bremen for New York
and Baltimore, which would bring over, it
was anticipated, 1000 more emigrants.
The increasing magnitude of the German
emigration is beginning to be discussed by
the statesmen of that country as serious
drain upon the population of those districts.

Express Company, which awarded damages
to the plaintiff in the amount of $4,000.

the limit of the liability, $40 1905, was Con-

"At Ashland it is more convenient to

Macon College as Virginia :; we therefore
look for an increased patronage from the
good old North State, and we trust we shall
not be disappointed. Then we have the

dents. Is it unreasonable to say that the

The Roman Catholic General Council.

ROME, July 1.-The Holy Father, IN ex-
planning the reasons which guided his judg-
ment to the conviction of the necessity OF
General Council, sketches out the pro-
gramme of the work of it's members with
Il free hand. His Holiness states that the
subjects to be submitted to the congregated
body include: The necessity of renewed
episcopal exertion to secure lii all quarters
of the globe firm belief in the integrity
of the Catholic faith; a more abiding and
heartfelt respect for religion more ready
obedience to Catholic Church discipline,
and more general observance Of its rules,
regulations, and laws consultation as to
the best means of improving the morals of
the members of the fold; how to extend
and establish peace and concord among in
dividuals and nations, AMI how to more
etfectually remove the many ills which
atflict civil society, as we'll as many Of the
religious orders. The bull, in conclusion,
adverts to the absolute necessity which ex-
lists to uphold the temporal power Of the
Pops in the Eternal City and domain Of the
Church, TO sustain and defend the sanctitv
Of the sacrament Of marriage IN every
land, and to be careful Of the education Of
the young. His Holiness deplores the per-
sevcring, unIiring, and insldious efforts
which are being made by the enemies Of
the Church to throw down, destroy, and
defncc all these, and i1rrarts 10 the faithful
the apostolic benediction just before adding
his signature to the paper and attcstlng 1t
with the seal of the Fisherman.
