A misunderstanding

Mr.. John Williams, Sheriff of Nor
gan county, assisted by Mr.. Charles
Brown, brought Mr. John Long. a
well known and respectable citizen of
this p1acp, as a prisoner, under a writ
of ha6eGs corpus, by Judge NJ. T.. Hall,
he being charged with kidnapping a
young colored youth. Mr.. Long claims
that the youth got on the train with a
number of other colored men he had
employed. and asked him to pay his
way, that he wanted to work for him.
Mr., Long did so, and gave the boy en-
ployment. It seems that the parents
complained and made the above
charge, and writ of habeas corpus
was Procured from Judge Hall,
for the release of the boy and
the arrest of Mr.. Long. Before,
however, the Sheriff of Morgan county
received the writ, Mr.. Long had sent
the boy home, having been notified
that he was wanted, and consequent~
ly the Sheriff could only bring him.
Mr.. Long gave security for his appear
ance, as soon as he arrived in the city,
and will have hearing tomorrow.

Southern War Claims.

Washington Special May III to the Louis
VILE Courier-JOurnal.
Notice was given to-day by Senator
Scott, Of Pennsylvania, of his purpose
on Wednesday morning to call up the
bills reported by the Senate Committee
on Claims. This committee has gen
orally reported in favor of meritorious
war claims from the South, but there
is a strong minority in the Senate which
tenaciOusly oppose it. The House
Committee on Gains is understood to
be unfIvorable to such claims. Mr..
Davis will on Wednesday deliver
speech formally reviewing the whole
subject, aud citing numerous authori-
ties on public law to show that cIti-
Zens Of the Southern States, who ad-
hered TO the Union cause, are entitled
10 compensation for property taken or
appropriated by the Government.
Among authorities he willadduce
the Endorsement by Gen. Grant,
on the 18th of October, 1864, of the
claim of James Cameron, of Chatta-
nOoga, Tenn, for damages to out
houses, destruction of timber, etc.
According to a statement, prepared by
Mr.. Davis, the total number of claims,
so far allowed by all branches of the
Government, is 1871, amounting to
nearly So 100000. The number rejected
is 1880, amounting to about ST.
100000. There are 30,SS2 cases not
yet acted on Mr.. Davis thinks TWEEN
ty-five million dollars would cover
every legi innate claim Itappears the
captured and abandoned property fund
still in the Treasure amounts to Sl4,-
4l0.729l7. The principle covered by
these views would include what are
known as the Morgan raid claims, and
also a large amount of property in
Kentucky actually taken and occupied
during the civil war.

ADog Charmed by a Snake.

The Atlanta Sun is responsible for
the following:
Several days ago a gentleman in
this city went out in the country fowl
ing, taking with him an experienced
pointer. After hunting some time he
observed the dog come to sudden stop.
and snpposing the dog had stood " a
bird, advanced to shoot it. But con-
ing nearer he noticed that the animal
was flaming at the mouth, as if suffer
ing an attack of hydrophobia. Under
closer observation he discovered that
the dog was the victim of an enormous
snake, which was charming it and
steadily advancing upon its prey. The
dog stood immOvable, perfectly trans
fixed. The gentleman spoke to it, but
it gave no heed, so completely was it
under the influence of the dread charm
err. Seeing that the dog was in the
most excruciating agony, the gentleman
raised the gun and shot the snake
dead Instantly and simultaneously
with the shot and death of the snake,
the dog fell down perfectly helpless,
and to all appearance dead Itrevived
after some little time, but had it not
been for some timely assistance from
the master, it is believed that the poor
animal would have expired with the
vicious reptile of whose charm it was
the victim. The snake in question was
a blue racer, about four or FIVE feet
long, and was killed near Oglcthorpe
park.
