MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
An Innocent Citizen Lays in Prison
Five Months.

Five Months.
From the Huntsville (Ala.) Independent, Dec.l3.
We have hea from several gentlemen
in our community the facts produced in ey-
idence on a most extraordinary trial that
occurred last week, at Lewisbmg, Tennes-
see. 1t seems that on the End day of June,
1872, one William A. Graham obtained the
sum of twenty dollars from James S. Ew-
ing, of Lewisburg, under false pretenses.
A reward of three hundred and twenty dol
lars was offered by the Governor of Ten
nessee and the Masonic Lodge of Lewis
burg, for the arrest and conviction of Gra-
ham. Under requisition from the Gov
ernor of Tennessee and the Governor of
Alabama, William ID. Mofiitt, of Hunts
vile, was arrested as being William A.
Graham and carried TO Lewisburg, TenneS-
see, and there confined in Jail for five
months under bond of three thousand dol
lars. Mr.. Moffitt was arrested more than
twelve months after the alledged offence.
He assured the officers arresting him that
he had never in his life been to LewiSbuTg,
Tennessee, and that they were mistaken in
the man.
Mr.. Moffitt is a member of the Baptist
Church of this place and in good standing
with his church,; he has the character of be-
ing a correct, upright and honest man. He
has a family of wife and seven children,
who were entirely dependent on him for
their support. The Baptist Church en-
ployed Capt. Richardson to go to Lewis
burg and defend Mr.. Moflitt. Upon the
trial several of our best and most reliable
citizens proved that on the I'd day of June
Sunday, the time that Graham received
the twenty dollars from Ewing, at Lewis
burg, Mr.. MOffitt was in Huntsville. This
was shown by the clearest proof as well as
conclusive coToborating circumstances.
Several witnesses for the prosecution swore
that Mr.. MOffitt was William A. Graham
from their general resemblance. Mr.. Moi
fit was, of course, acquitted by the jury.
We can understand how men can be hon
eStly mistaken in a matter Ofpersonal iden-
tity, but when the officers from Tennessee
were notified that Mr. Moffitt was not the
man, and that before his arrest, they GER
tainty should have acted with the greatest
caution.
Mr. MOifitt had been residing for some
time in this city-came with high creden-
tials and has conducted himself as a chris
tian gentleman and a good citizen. His
family has suffered from his absence, and
had 10 depend on the members OF MS
church and his kind neighbOrs to take care
of them. He himself has been confined in
jail for months, and that by the mistake of
the prosecutor, Mr.. Ewing, and the officers
aresting and others concerned. He GER
tainly must have his remedies at law for
such a mistake. To deprive man of his
liberty by incarcerating without a cause is
certainly a serious matter to all concerned
in it. Officers and all concerned in an ar
rest should be certain that they have the
right man. We certainly expect to hear
further from this matter.

GRAIN rOR MORsEs ANn COLTS.

The cold winter weather is coming
and small allowance of corn to the
horses and colts is admissible. We
know that many say that corn is not a
fit food for horses-that oats is the only
grain that should be fed to them-that
it is the proper muscle-producing food
that it gives more strength and sub
stance to the horse than cOrn-aH of
which is true. But in winter, horses
suffer more from cold. They don't
have the privilege of standing by fires
to keep warm, but must withstand the
cold as best they may. If they can
have food containing larger per cent
of carbon than oats possess, to heat up
the internal system, they can resist the
cold the better. Corn furnishes this
food and in winter about half the grain
fed to horses should be corn.
That there is too much corn fed to
horses by we, tern farmers, We are sat
lifted. it is splend d foot to make beef
and fat-but these are not desirable
qualities in horse He is bred for
bone and muscle. He is wanted to en-
dure hard work on the farm or road,
and oats will give greater endurance
than any other grain. Horses should
have daily exercise in winter. They
will not keep in good health without it.
They want a roomy yard to be turned
in, that theymay play, prance, roll, and
thus keep strong and hearty. There is
no nobler animal than the horse, and he
deserves the best care and attention.

The main business is in discounting sight
cotton drafts on New York which are taken

on short time, and as a general thing the
regular customers of the banks have very
little difficulty in borrowing all they want.

Gold is firm but shade lower, closing

RAILROAD DIFFICULTIES.
The Southern Railroads and the Gov
acknowledgement Compromise.

The Southern Railroads ana the UcS-
acknowledgement Compromise.
From the Washington Correspondence of the
New York journal of Commerce.
l have for some years past devoted
one letter a year to the condition OF
Southern railroads and their attitude
to the government, and am glad to say
that this will be the most cheerful OF
all. At the end of the war the govern
ment had in its possession an immense
amount of rolling stock and other rail-
way material in the.South, and in order
to. help the railroads there, and to real
ize the value of the property, the Sec
rotary of War, under executive orders,
sold 1t to the different Southern railroad
companies on credit. The demoraliZa-
ton of business interests by poverty,
freedom of slaves, reconstruction, etc,
delayed prosperity, but some of the
companies paid up promptly and dis
charged their Indebtedness. Others
lost money, went into bankruptcy. and
the government got its share. Others
asked extensions and got them, but on
the whole, they paid up very well under
the surrounding circumstances, and
showed that their intentions were not
at fault. From advanced sheets of the
Quartermaster-G Generals report the fol-
lowing statement appears:
At the close of the war, under execu-
tive orders of Sth August and 18th
October 1865, there were sold ON
credit TO various railroad cOmpa-

road material TO the appraised val
