Death Of Hon. Will. S. Bailey,

We are called upon to day to per-
form one of the saddest and most
painful duties that devolve upon a
public jouInalist-thatO of announc-
ing the sudden and unexpected
death of an old fellow citizen, and
long time, warm hearted friend.
Judge Bailey breathed his last at
his residence in this city, on Mon
day evening last at about nine
O'Clock. At about one O'Clock on
Monday our community was greatly
shocked as the startling and pain
full news flew frOM one to another,
as it were ''on the wings OF the
wind" that Judge Bailey, who had
been seen on the street as late as IL
o'clock, apparently in his usual
health, was-dying! Many friends
on hearing the sad tidings, rushed
to his residence, hoping there might
be some mistake. but alas! they
found it too true: he was sleeping
the sleep that was to know no wax
ing.
No man in the community could
have passed away from among us
whose absence will be more severe
ly felt or more greatly regretted.
For some thirty years he had been
a resident of Canton, and, in addi-
ton to being of warm, social and
genial disposition, the numerous
public offices he had filled in our
county aud city had brought him
into contact and almost intimate
relations with everybody, and the
name of Judge Bailey was as famil-
lar as-indeed was-a household
word everywhere. He filed the
office of Probate Judge one or two
terms prior to 1S4S, and was Sheriff
two or three terms. The last time
he was candidate for q county
office, was for Probate Judge, in
1865, when he was defeated-as he
could only have been defeated-by
there being two candidates in the
field besides himself belonging to
the same party to which he adhered.
In a fair and square race before the
people, he was never defeated for
any position to which he aSpired.
but always received much more than
a party vote. During the war he
held the responsible office of Collec-
tor of Tax-in-kind, and after It's
close he was Mayor of the city for
several years, until he was disfran-
chised by Federal laws from hold
ing office-and in all the offices he
came as near giving satisfaction as
any one holding public position
could do. He was public-spirited
as the open day-the
soul of honor; tender-hearted and
almost as a woman. Of
course, such a nature-as husband,
father, friend and citizen-was all
that man could be.
The remains. of the lamented de-
ceased were followed to the grave
on Wednesday..by a large concourse
of sorrOwing and sympathisirg
friends; where, after an appropri-
ate reading and prayer by the Rev.
Wallace Carnahan, of the Episcopal
Church., his remains were commit
ted to the sepulchre, whore they
shall rest until the resurrection
morn.
''Grecn be the turf above thee,
Friend of my early days;
None knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise"

The Late Treasury DefalcatiOn.
OF THE TRIAL OF SETH JOB,

SON.
In the criminal court, Judge Cartier, this
evening, the case of Seth johnson, charged with
being defaulter to the government to the
amount OF $4,000, was called, and Mr. Riddle
for the accused, interposed plea of the defend.
ant in bar to the action, because, on the 3lst
day of January. in obedience to a subpoena is
sued by the Speaker OF the House of Representa-
tives, he appeared before a committee of said
House, and was then and there examined con-
corning all the acts and facts whereof he stands
charged, As he was required by the committee
so to do, and he prays he may be dismissed as
provided by act of Congress OF Jan. "a, 1857 ,
9th statutes, 1851
Judge Cartier said that this plea Iaises the
question as to whether a party who has been
brought before a committee of Congress to tes-
tify TO the truth OF q matter is exempt from
prosecution for a criminal Offense upon which
his testimony had a bearing.
Mr. Riddle read the law in question, dwelling
on the clause, " no person examined" before
such committee shall be liable to prosecution.
Mr.. Harrington said il appeared that the
accused was summoned and examined by the
committee subsequent to his arraignment in
court.
MIR. Riddle said that was so.
Mr.. Harrington said the committee appeared
to have acted very singularly in permitting such
an innovation. The government would require
time to file replication, and he would ask that
the case 60 over.
The case therefore went over.
