Excursion to Delhi-..A Splendid Home.
Made Coach.

Excursion to Delhi.-.A Splendid Home.
Made Coach.
The carpenters and machinists ut
the railroad shops have been employed
for some time, but not steadily, under
the direction of Mr.. Tull, head ma
chinist, in constructing passenger
coach after the Palace pattern. Early
last week, the coach was completed
and hauled out on the track for an ex-
cursion to Delhi. 1t looked superb
tho equal of any passenger coach on
the best roads. The proportions are
graceful, and the workmanship and
finish are models of mechanical skill.
The exterior is painted a dark brown
color, with gilt ornamental finish and
q rich gloss. The interior is made of
pine and black walnut, natural color
highly vanished. The seats are deep
ly cushioned with red plush and have
ornamental bronze frames with nickel
plated arms. The racks and lamps are
of the latest styles.
A number of gentlemen and ladies
ing to enjoy the excursion to Delhi.
One of the best engines, two cars and
the new coach made up the train.
Receiver Green was on hand ; and Mr..
Tull, after having provided refresh
ments, got aboard Fred skraags stood
at the lever, and the gay party of in
vited guests being call aboard" the
train shot out from the depot.
Delhi is 81 miles distant from Mon
roe. The trip thence was made leisure
ly and experimentally. At Delhi, and
all along the road, the new coach was
inspected and universally admired.
After the people of Delhi had seen the
new beauty and the excursionists had
satisfied themselves with the attrac-
tions of Delhi, the train started back.
Mr.. Tull was seen to wink wee
wunk, which was interpreted to mean
a little extra speed on the homo run.
Wood, water and Oil had been pro:
vided for a 81 miles heat, and the
track was clear. The iron horse was
put to his metal bridges Were thun-
dered over depots .darted by, and
those unaccustomed to lightning trains
pulled hard down on their scalps and
braced their knees against the seats in
front. Major Green suggested to Mr..
Tull that it was possible they were
going too fast. Mr.. Tull thought 80,
apparently, pulled the rope with one
hand, while with the other he mo-
toned, Go ahead! The train flew
along, and arrived in Monroe in one
hour and three minutes after leaving
Delhi, run of 81 miles. But for in
terruptions by stock on the track, the
time would have been lessened to SIS
and this over a road where
there are many bridges and several
long trestles where speed is necessarily
slackened.
We are indebted to both Maj. Green
and Mr.. Tull for invitations to be one
of the excursionists. Were we along?
Nay; this report is written from what
our photograph has told US.

of the State, point him out as the most suita
bic man in the State to bear our standard
through the ensuing campaign, and complete
the work of reform and redemption 50 auspi

believe, his patriotism will not permit him te
decline this position, which the people of the

assign him.

HABEAs CORPUS CASE.

VIVA. B. Boyle and Walter Boyle, white
youths, charged with the shooting and killing
of John A. Hogan, also white, in Fairfield
county, last Friday, appeared before Judge
Hudson, in this place, last Monday evening
on writ of habeas corpus, praying to be dis
charged from custody upon giving bail.
The petitioners are youths-the eldest
about nineteen or twenty years of age-and
the slain man was their step.father. From
the sworn testimony, as read before Judge
Hudson, it appears that late in the afternoon
on the day of the occurrence, the youths went
to the house of their step-father, the deceased
for the purpose of securing heifer belonging
to their sister. Deceased refused to surren
der the heifer, and forbade the young men
entering his premises. Threatening language
was used by the deceased towards the youths
which eliminated in an attack upon them by
Hogan, and in selfdefence, as is alleged, the
fatal shot was fired. An affidavit was also
read, showing that Hogan was man of vio
lent temper, and had on previous occasions
threatened to take the life of the elder STEP
son, VIM. B. Boyle.
Gaillard 4 Reynolds, by Jno. S. Reynolds
ESQ.,, appeared for the petitioners and Mr.
Solicitor CASTOR represented the State. After
brief arguments as to the merits Of the case,
the Judge granted an order admitting the
accused to bail in bond of $4,000 each.

COURT HOUSE NOTES.


Judge Hudson peremptorily declines to as
sign counsel to defend persons charged with
crime of less degree than capital offences
This course, which-by the way, has prece
dent in the action of Judge Mackey at the
last term he presided here-wil have hap
py effect in checking crime in the future
Heretofore, petty crimes have been commit
ted almost with impunity, the perpetrators
being assured in advance, by the reputation
of Sheriff Glenn as dieter, that they would
be we'll fed and cared for, and when the time
for trial arrived, able counsel would be as
signed them, and they would stand, in rea-
sonsble degree, a chance of acquittal. Such
will not be the case hereafter. Nor is the
rule applied to colored prisoners alone. In
the case of the State against Millwood, a
white man, who was without counsel, the
Judge plainly announced that it was not in
the province of the Court to assign counsel !;
that he had no more authority to direct a
lawyer to defend him than to command far
mer to donate him quantity of corn. Aside
from the salutary effect which will follow this
ruling, it will also be a great relief to men,
bers of the bar.
Thus far, the present term, Solicitor Cas-
ton has had but slight opportunity to dis
play his ability as prosecuting officer. AS

er's guilt. The jury must weigh the testimo-
ny. It's competency has been admitted BY
the Court, and it is for the jury to pass upon
it, The condition of the accused m,Ist not be
taken into consideration in weighing the testi.
mony elected on the trial. Whether rich or
poor, black or white, evidence should be
weighed alike in all cases. The law govern.
ing the trial of cause you take from the
Court; the testimony from the witnesses.
Reciting the charge contained 10 the indict:
ment against the prisoner, His Honor contin'
tinued: Your first enquiry will be, did any
one commit such an assault as is charged?
And if you find the assault was committed,
you will enquire whether, from the testimony,
it was committed with the intent to ravish.
The fact of assault and battery is matter
for positive evidence. From the testimony Of
fered by the State you must judge of the guilt,
and whether or not the circumstances show
that the assault was made with the intent to
ravish if, as committed at the time and
place, and under the circumstances alleged,
does it indicate such purpose on the part OF
the accusedf 1t is also necessary to enquire
whether or not the assault and battery was
made only to injure the face of prosecutrix.
If you find no testimony to show the express
ed intent, circumstances must determine the
intent. His Honor then reviewed the tes.
timony, and instructed the jury that from the
facts embraced in It they must draw their
conclusions. If you are satisfied, from the
evidence, that he made the assault with the
intention to crafty his lustful passion, then
he ia guilty of assault and battery with In
tent to ravish. You will next enquire: Is the
prisoner the guilty onef In regard to iden-
ti6cation, you are to weigh we'll the testi-
mony, and determine whether or not the evil
deuce, when fully weighed, satisfies you that
che Identification is complete, and that the
prisoner is the man who committed the as
sault. If you are fully satisfied that he is
the mani it is your duty to return verdict OF
guilty.
The jury then retired, and in about half
an hour returned a verdict of guilty. -.
Prisoners counsel then gave notice of mo.
ton for new trial. '.h 1', ..'

STATE AND COUNTY TAXES.

We have been furnished with copy of the
"bill to raise supplies and make appropria'
tions for the fiscal year" commencing the lst
of last November, as passed by the Legsla'
ture at the recent session. From section Z
of the bill, it will be seen that popular error
prevails as to the amount of penalty attach.
ing for failure to pay the May installment Of
taxes when due. The opinion with many is,
that the penalty is only at the rate of five
per centum per annum ; when really it is five
per ceutum on the May installnent, or at the
rate of fifteen per centum per annum. For
the information of the public, we append sec.
tions 7 and of the Act:
Sec. 7. That all taxes assessed herein shall be
due and payable in two equal installments as fol-
lows: The first installment shall be due and pay
able from the lst day of May to the lst day of
June, 1878, and the second installment shall be
due and payable from the 1st day of October to
the lst day of November, 1878: Provided, That it
shall be, and is hereby, left to the option of any
person either to pay the amount of the first in
stallment at the time first above mentioned, or to
pay the whole amount at the time of the payment
of the second installment thereof: Provided, tur-
tier, That if any person or persons shall fail or
instalment, he, she or they shall be charged with
penalty of five per centum on the first install
ment, which penalty shall be ADDED, and the sew
eral County Treasurers shall collect the same in
the manner prescribed by law, and give receipts
therefor to the several parties paying the same in
which the real estate paid on shall be briefly des-
cribed, and the value of the personal property
paid on shall be stated, together with the time
such taxes are paid and the amount of the same
Provided, Nothing herein contained shall operate
to prevent any taxpayer from paying the whole
amount of his tax at the time the first instalment
is payable.
Sec. 8. That when the taxes and assessments
charged against any party or property on the du-
plicate for the present fiscal year shall not be paid
on or before the first day of November, 1878, or
when the remainder of such taxes and assess
ments shall not be paid on or by the said time,
together with the penalty Of five per centum as
aforesaid, the County Treasurer shall proceed to
collect the same by distress or otherwise as now
prescribed by law, together with penalty of fiji:
teen per cent on the amount so delinquent; and
if the amount Of such delinquent taxes, assess
ments and penalties shall not be paid on or be-
fore the fifteenth day of November, 1873, or col
lected by distress otherwise, the same shall be
treated as delinquent taxes on such real and per-
sonal property, and shall be collected by sale OF
such real and personal property as hereinafter
prescribed.
