Fart.,er ccneernlns I.ayne and Day.

The investigation IN the ease OF Payne
and Day, arrested Wednesday night on the
charge OF passing bogus coin, did not come
oil yesterday, as was expected, Owing &c the
absence of important witnesses, but will be
held al twelve O'Clock to-day, before Justice
Everett.
PAYNE made an unsuccessful effort yes
teiday to get his bond reduced from 500 to
500, and there is talk of an application
for writ of habeas corpus. He is repre-
scented by Guild & Dodd, and through his
attorneys he sent an order yesterday to
CAPT. Yater TO send the $50 in money and
tine watch and chain which were taken
from him to his wife in Edgetield. The
money was sent. but the watch and Chain
are still in the possession of Capt. ater.
The wife of Payne is a very attractive
looking woman, and is quite intelligent.
When Payne's room was visited by the Of
ficeIs Wednesday night, she manifested
some emotion, but the fact that she retain
ed her presence Of mind was demonstrated
by her eoolly Introducing officer Broderiek
As ..MY FRIEND SIR. ROBINSON"
10 q LADY, who accidently entered the room
while Broderick was present. She told the
officers that she had lost child few days
since.
Since the arrest of Payne and Day, it is
reported that they swindled Chattanooga
man whom they became acquainted with
on the Nashville and Chattanooga train
about two weeks ago. A brakeman on that
road saws that be was in the car when the
little game was played, and saw the whole
performance.
He saws that a young man came up TO
another and said: 'sWell sir, your express
goods are aboard the train al right. Here's
vour receipt, and now l want the money
on them The other replied: 81 can't pay
Won until we get TO Chattanooga, unless
YOU are willing to take gold, and will allow
me the discount" This, the pretended ex-
press agent refused to do, and then the
other turned to one of the passengers and
told him that he had over thousand dol
lars in gold; that he was Tot willing to
allow the express company TO swindle him
out of tle discount; that he was doing bus
mess in Chattanooga, and if the passenger
would let him have the amount of the ex-
press charges on his goods, $3.50, he would
PAY HIM TIE GOLD,
and when they got through to Chattanooga
he would redeem it, and pay klm hand
somely for the accommodation.
&c lA>SEai1CA n4esNC sunni lAhleAAtAOS %
to his aequaintances in Chattanooga, and
upon his giving the names Of several prom
inent citizens Of that burg, handed him the
required amount, saying that he didn't
want his gold, but that the greenbacks
could be refunded upon reaching Chatta-
nOGga.
This occurred a few miles from Muir
ffeesboFo, and when the train reached that
point, it was found upon starting again
that the pretended business man and the
pretended express agent had quietly ''miz-
lied" OIL.
The brakesman referred to visited lie
Jail Yesterday evening, and though the cells
were poorly lighted 50 that he was unable
10 get a good view Of The prisoners, stated
that he was convinced they were the men
who had come the confidence game over
the Chattanooga man so successfully.

\ Market street dealer IN country pro-
duce was questioned Yesterday by q rail-
road man As 10 what mad he intended
shipping large lot o. eggs over. which
eggs he was then busily engaged in boxing
up. He replied thai lie intended To SEMI
them over the Virginia line. WIN eS-

them that way; send them over cur line.

passed up Market street with his prisoner,
and had gotten about halfway up to Church

an appeal by simply SAVING ~ apreal =,
when there could be no possible donbt as
to his guilt. He cited q number If csses
where appeals had been taken and me men
kept in jail Tor twelve months after the trial
of their cases.
Judge Flippen fully endorsed an that
Attorney General Heiskell said on the sub
jet q allowing prisoners to lay in Jail dur
ing the Pehdeney Of an appeal. He said
that at least Slz,OOO per annum would be
saved the state II this abuse were corrected.
In the majority Of cases where jury Of
twelve men have found 4 prisoner guilty, a
motion for new trial Oyerruled, and the
case then carried up, the judgment of the
lower court IS affirmed and all the time
thus taken up is lost in the prisoners term
of sentence.
Attorney General Wright supported his
proposition IN strong argument.
Judge Guild thought that in case the
proposition were carried into effect, the
criminal judge would De led to favor the
defendant under the additional responsible
ity thus put upon him. He fay0ie Ell the
general sentiment Of the proposition but
thought it should be modified.
Jadge Rice said he had no patience with
the sentimeRtality which eharac;erizes the
present age with regard TO criminals, and
he thought stronger safeguards should be
thrown around law abiding citizens.
Attorney General Weleker said that this
sympathy for murdereFs is so strong that ia
his district, h0FsE-theiyes were generally
more severely dealt with than murderers.
Attorney General Frazier moved to amend
Mr.. Wright's proposition by providing that
il do not apply to misdemeanors and capi-
tai felonies.
Judge Frazier moved to add a provision
to he effect hat in any case Of appeal
the judge trying the cause shall suspend
the execution of the sentence for the term
Of thirty days, to give the defendant time
to apply for a Supercedeas.
Attorney General Holman opposed the
proposition mainly upon the ground that
in case of a recurrence of a similar state of
affairs to that witnessed in this State a few
years ago, no protection whatever would be
secured any man who might be so unfOrtu-
nate as to be arrested.
Judge Williamson argued that the prop
OSition was unconstitutional.
Judge Hiekerson opposed the proposition
holding that il would work injuriously,
having a damaging effect upon the influence
of the courts. He felt convinced that a
judge would diligently search for an excuse
to grant a prisoner a new trial, or aoquit
him, knowing, as lie would if the PROPOSE
ton become the law, that with him rested
the final disposition of the case. He ursed
the convention, composed as it was of
judges and attorneys general, to snake
haste slowly"
The question being uponthe amendment
offered by Attorney General Frazier, it was
rejected. ---..-...
The question then being upon the propo-
sition offered by Attorney General Wright,
as amended by Judge Frazier, 1t was re-
jected.
