HELD TO ANSwER.-It will be re-
membered that a German by the
name OF Geo. Smith was arrested in
Hamilton some time ago, on suspl-
cion that he had participated in the
stage robbery which resulted in the
killing of Billy Mann. the driver.
1t appears that or investigation it was
found that the robbery occurred Just
over the line dividing White Plne
and Nve counties. Accordingly.
Smith was taken before the Justice or

II appears that whiskey ring, formed
OF Illicit distillers and United states deputy
marshas and other Federal officials, has been
doing "a thriving business in northern Georgia,
by means Of corruption, blackmailing and
false imprisonment. Distillers who have sys-
tematically delrauded the revenue have been
permitted TO continue their operations on pay
ment Of blackmail to Federal officers, while in
nocent parties have been seized and imprisoned
on false charges because they refused % pay
tribute to dishonest officials. On the 2i.h Of
November lss9, fourteen men were arrested in
Union county by two deputy marshals, assisted
boy a 1lc Of soldiers under command Of Il Lieut..
TAYLOR, and confined In a horse stable until
they secured their rel ease by paving sums
amounting in the aggregate To $l,j,j in ad-
diuon to an Illegal charge Of seven dollars
and a half each for costs. Then they were
released but no record can be found In the
revenue ofice showing the disposition made
Of the money extorted from the prisoners, and
1t Is TO be presumed that 1t was all pocketed boy
the deputy marshals. This Is only one instance
out Of many showing the rascality practised in
that .'gion under pretense Of Furnishing frauds
ON the Government, 1t is also said that a great
number Of people were arrested on trumped-uD
charges, and subjected to disgraceful mprison-
ment, against whom no evidence existed, simply
because they refused to pay the United States
officials money. One deputy marshal has con
fcssed that he swore out warrants against ffty
different men OF whom he knew absolutely
nothing. Thus we see the example OF Official
corruption and venalty presented In Washing

Prospect OF n Failure of Justice in the
Kelsey Case.

II would not be Just to assume that Judge
BARNARp's zeal in the KELSEY case was not
tempered by discretion; but ut the same
time we apprchcnd he would hardly have
forced the matter on before the present
Grand Jury of suffolk county il he had
been better Informed of the true condition
of things. The result now liable to be
reached is the indictment OF the homicidcs
for some minor offence, and very possibly
even on such IN indictment they may be
acquitted.
The evidence has not been collected as it
ought to have been, and ii could probably
bo developed much more successfully by
single. competent committing magistrate
like Judge REID-thc County Judge Of Suf-
folk-than by SO unwieldy and unprnctised
body as the Grand Jury. Had it been
left TO Judge REID, IA second investigation
would have shone, we think, ut least by
contrast with the action of Coroner
BAyI1s.
Mr.. TUTHILI, the District Attorney Of
Suffolk, Is gentleman OF literary tastes,
retiring in his habits. respectable in char
acter but man whose sleep would not be
likely to be disturbed by the crimes of u
dozen murderers, so that they did not muir
der him. His law partner, Judge MILLER,
is one OF the most venerable men in the
state, but, without any fnult of his own,
he is near relative OF Mrs. OAKLEY
cousin. we think-the grandmother of JU-
LA SMITH, the cause OF all KEIsEY's woe.
Mr.. PLATT, OF Huntington, was tempo
rarily retained in the matter. lie Is an
excellent lawyer. and rendered most vnlu-
,s.l al, q nj
the KELSEY family should see 10 II that his
effective services be not lost to the prose
cution.
But the main point to which we wish to
speak this morning is the imperative duty
Of the Attorney-General Of the state 10
take charge of tins prosecution.
With dozen or more well-known per-
sons parties to the outrage which tcrmi-
mated in murder is there any reasonable
doubt that some one could have been in
duced to turn states evidence long ere
this?
Gov. DIX nobly discharged one duty in
offering a reward. Now let him request
the Attorney-Gcneral to look after the
prosecution.
The Grand Jury ad journed TO meet again
at Riverhead this morning. Whatever
time 1t may require-and although we
think the District Attorneys action pre-
mature in hurrying the case before them
We trust they will patiently investigate
every circumstance connected with the
| ease.
A great deal is sail about the mystery Of
this murder; but how is il mysterious As
compared, for instance, with the NATHAN
murder?
1t is known perfectly well who was jeal-
ous Of KELSEY who wanted him out of the
way; and who were present at tine scene
of the tarring and fcathering just before
his death. In nother words, il is well enough
known who killed KELSEY, or caused him
TO be killed. All that is wanted IL legal
evidence OF what nobody doubts.

A good deal has been said about the at
tachment Of certain property In Kansas belong
Ing to the Hon. :. c. PoMERoY, and this has led
some people to entertain fears that OLD SUBSIDY
had met with great losses which had swept
away the accumulated results OF his honest In
dustry while in Congress. 1t now appears that
the property was attached at the instance Of one
T.. 4. SMITH, who brings suit for $li5O0. which
he claims to be due from poNERoy. L. A. SMITH
was one ~ the rroprietors Of the Tent House at

quarters during the memorable Senatorial con-
test In which lie was unlucky; and 1t Is Inferred
that SMI1Hs bill is not entirely unconnected

Carolina is an Institution which has been held
in great regard by the most aristocratc families

admitting negroes as students on terms Of
