SR: In Mondays edition of THE SUN you
note the sudden appearance Of company oi
soldiers A. WarrcntUn, Ga, ostensibly to pro-
toct one j, c. Norris, though the Governor Of the
state had not asked for the troops, and protests
against their being used for such purpose. Let
the public consider the following facts. and then
judge whether public or personal interests
caused those troops To be sent to Warren county
at this time Being familiar with the history Of
Norris and some of his military friends can
probably throw some light on the case:
During the late war Norris was bitter stay-at-
home rebel. lie opposed reconstruction iii, TO
~ evn woras, ha- say there was money in
1t. He suddenly changed his politics in 1865.
In January, 1870, Gen. Terry, commander of
the military district of Georgia, removed the
sheriff Of Warren county and appointed J. c.
Norris sheriff. lie was protected by a squad Of
United soldiers day and night for about three
months, till arrested 10y the Post Commander
for bribery aud compoundWE ~ felony.
Norris was constantly calling for soldiers to
act MS Shcrln > posse IN arrcsting alleged ku-
klux. He jailed about dozen citizens Of the
With his military guard he had absolute control
over his prisoners. one by one those arrested
were released and at once appeared on friendly
terms win MOTIFS. Evidence was soon brought
out that NDrri, lad received about Sl2,OOU as
brides from these persons. Ho was arrested 10y
the Post CoWwauoer and when confronted with
the evidence, sull gnly admitted that he had re-
ceiSed SG,sN, a. stated in the evidence, but he
de0cd any one To send him To Atlanta, saying
that Gen. Terry and GOV. Bullock would sustain
hIIn. The Captain commanding the sub-district
of Warren and other counties advised that
Norris should not he confined. when asked why
such advice, he said he believed that officers of
the department stan were Interested with Nor
rs in the bribes taken, and that whoever ar
rested him would get the worst Of II.
Nevertheless Norris was kept under guard by
the Post Commander, and on the sth Of May
1870, he was sent to Atlanta, with all the evidence
In his case. Gen. Terry turned him over To civil
au horlty. He was released on straw bail and =,
II is unnecessary TO add, was never brought 70
trial.
The evidence showed that Norris. while taking
the hribes told his NiC,ims that Gen. Terry and
the WhsArr n,As."ra ha-l dy eeted him a. sheriff
tu pursue that "ouisc and that II they would
pay him certain sums In each casc they should
not be prosecuted, and under such circum-
stances the bribes were paid; How Is that for
mi ittry reconstruction In Georgia
Should Norris he convicted upon his indlct-
mcnt, he might make "A clean breast Of all his
yillanics since he first saw there money in
reconstruction, and engaged In the bribe-taking
business. Hence the courts Of Warren county
must be overawed. and Norris once more mad e
to feel grateful for military aid,

TRoY, May 2).-The second championship
game between tho Boston Red Stockings and

this afternoon, resulted in a victory for the
Reds by a score Of 10 y. The game In the field
was very unevenly played on both sides, one
inning being distinguished by extra good ncld-
ing, and another by brilliant mufing. The
errors wcre about equally balanced, but those
of the BostOns were generally made when they
could best afford to. No batting of much ac-
count was done on either side, and the game
was won by the superior judgmcnt and dis
