two negroes near Huntsville. on Wednesday is
reported to have included many prominent
citizens ofnorth Alabama The prominent citi-

prisoners were dragged out bound and placed
in Il wagon the wagon was driven under tree

II the Assembly is really in earnest in tho
proposed investigation Of the charges of
corruption in connection with the recent de-
seat of the HoLAHAN Excise bill then some
neglected clauses Of the Constitution may
soon come into play. Mr.. SKINNER Of JEFF
fcrson, with whom originated the allcga-
tions of bribery or attempted bribery, has
furnished the investigating committee with
the names of n long list Of witnesses, and
the messengers of Interested parties are
securing the State to find others. This
gives to the matter business air
Let us suppose that the committee really
lay their hands ON tangible evidence,
what thcn3 IL Is at this precise stage of
the proceedings that some recent amend
mcnts of the Constitution become import
ant. The charge of SKINNER was, in sub
stance. that brides had been paid or offered
or promised to members to vote for the HoL-
AHAN bill, or to abstain from voting against
II. The constitutional provisions to which
we have referred meet such cases exactly,
by declaring that any ofliccholdcr, under
the laws of this State, shall be deemed
guilty of felony il he receives or consents
to receive anything of value or personal adj
forming or emitting to perform any official
act, or whose action or omission To act Is or
is to bc in any way influenced thereby This
covers the act of voting. on such consdcra-
tons for or against u hill in the Lcgisla-
turc or ncglccting to vote upon II.
This article Of the Constitution also pro-
vidcs that the person who pays or offers or
promises the bride shall be deemed guilty of
II felony, whether it hc accepted or refused.
After giving some details AS to the compc-
tcncy Of witnesses in cases of this sort.
the article then declares that the Dis
trct Attorney Of the county where viola
tions of its provisions occur shall prosecute
all persons guilty or supposed TO he guilty
of the fclonics; and that II amy District At
torncy fails to perform this duty promptly
and faithfully, the Governor shall remove
him from Office
The course to be pursued in the HoLAHAN-
SKINNER ease is plain. II the testimony
given before the committee brings any par
ties within these constitutional provisions.
that testimony should he brought to the
notice Of the District Attorney Of the county
oi Albany. who should Immediately prose-
cute the parties. II the District Attorney
fails to perform his duty, Gov ROBINSON
should remove him from Office

IN social game OF billiards, one making an
exceedingly fine shot. scarcely moving the

missed altogether; whereupop they came
70 high words, the first young man calling
the other a id liar. Then followed
blows. They were, however, separated,
and Young man No. sent his adversary q
challenge, which was accepted. Accord
incly Yesterday morning they left for the
conntrv. and after exchanging shots the
affair was amicabIy settled by their friends,
the seconds. They then returned to town,
hut hearing that they were likely to be ar
rested engaged two hacks and again went
70 the country. Late in the evening they
returned, saving that the affair WAS farce
from beginning to end, gotten up to create
an excitement, everything being so dull IN
college. 1t was, however, in reality coma
fde fuss and duel.
Our University has in other ways been
