A number OF stalWart organs are raising a
howl of wrath and expendng much idle
rhetoric upon the election of Kitchen, Demo-

This result, they claim, was accomplished by
throwing out large number Of votes for the
negro OHara. The commissioners of cleo

pliance with tho law, and that it did not
change the result. Kitchen received 115 plu-

An unpleasant scandal has been started in
Georgia, which has brought about serious
quarrel between Gov. COIqlitt and Senator
b. FL. Hill. Hill charged Colquitt with hay
ing indOrScd the worthless bonds OF the
Northeastern Railroad Company in consitIera-
tion Of large sum of money paid him for
this Endorsement. Certain parties Interested
in these bonds were extremely desirous to get
them indorsod, as this would give them a.
greater value; they finally determined upon
employing an attorney to secure this indorse-
ment, and secured man supposed to possess
great influence over the Governor. The money
was paid this attorney, and the bonds were in
dorsed The Attorney General Of the State
now reports against tho legality Of this in
dOrSement.
AS soon as the charges against Gov. Col
quitt were made public, that gentleman de-
1nanded an investigation by the Legislature,
now in session In Atlanta, which was Of
course granted him, and which is now under
way. AS this investigation, however, is car
ried on in secret, it Is impossible to say what
evidence has been adduced before it, How
ever the affair terminates, 1t must prove dis
astrous to one Of the two chief actors in it,
Gov. Colquitt and Senator Hill, and retire
him from politics. OF course If the charge
were found true, Gov. Colquitt would have to
step down. II Senator Hills accusation, on
the other hand proves groundess, the fact
that he has made such an accusation will Ger
tainIy injure him politically. The warfare
between him and the Governor has
been most bitter, and charges
and counter charges have been made
by both sides. 1t Is even said that Senator
Hill and others have made q searching in
vestigation into the private affairs particu-
larly the outstanding debts, Of Gov, Coquitt,
and have scheduled his debts prior to his
election as Governor, and ascertained the
dates and payments since that time. They
claim that they can show he has paid off
more debts than his income would have war
ranted. The contest has, as might be expect
ed, unsettled and disturbed the politics Of
Georgia, drawn into it many Of the political
leaders Of the State and created as it were.

ATWATER.

One Of the most ridiculous farces
ever inflicted upon civilization was
pr sented to a large and intelligent au-
dience at the Atwater Station court
House on Monday last.
On the morning Of the 29th of April
last the dead body of Williamson Car
ter was found near the c. & P. R. r.
track. He was believed to have been
killed by the cars. U. S. Detective
Hamilton, assisted by Detective Bald
win of Atwater, were Immediately let
loose aud put on the track, and after
ten weeks of assiduous labor, reported
to the friends of the deceased that they
had sufficient evidence in their possess
sion to warrant an Investigation
WhereupOn, john Carter swOre out All
affidavit for the arrest of +. NJ. Malo-
ney and Michael Dewan, who were
held for examination on Monday last.
Great excitement was the natural re-
suit in small place like this. The
grain fields were neglected, and long
before the appointed hour the court
room was crowded with men, women
and children, to hear the great murder
trial. Justice Wolf, assisted by JUS
tice Tibbals, of Deerfield, presided.
The prosecution was conducted bv
Attorneys Thayer and Nj. Castle, of
Cleveland, o. The accused were de-
Tended by Attorneys Burden, of Alli-
ance, and Siddall, of Ravenna. Over
forty witnesses were summoned to ap-
pear and make their little speech. At
one O'Clock the bell rang all was si-
lent; the curtain rose, and the prose-
cutor advanced to the foot-lights. Af-
ter telling the Court how handsome
and intelligent they looked, he pro-
ceeded in sepulchral tones to tell his
sympathy for the poor Irish boys, and
how he regretted that it had befalIen
him to serve in the prosecution ofa
case which, If successful, would take
two lives for one. Yet justice must be
done, the law of the land must prevail,
though it level q king from his throne,
or take q pick from Mick.
After eight hours of tedious ques-
tiOning and cr0ss-questioning, the
prosecution submitted their case with
out argument. The exciting moment
came; all ears were turned forward to
catch the first syllables that fell from
the Courts trembling lips. The dead
silence was more dreadful than the
previous stOrm-sO solemn aud still.
not man, woman or child stirred;
all stood mOtionless and breathless.
The Court arose and dismissed the
case. Three grand, deafening cheers
rent the air for the boys, and three
hideOus groans for the Detectives, with
cries, "GO home aud husk your pump
kins," Go sew up the SCALP" &c.
The congratulations to the boys were
long and loud. The fond mother clasp
ed II her heart her innocent boy, while
loving sisters shed tears Of 10Y and
bless God that he was theirs.
But let us drop the curtain here, and
close this supremely ridiculous farce,
long to be,remembered as THE TIM
NER's ASSURANCE, or THE RURAL
DETECTIVE. Doc.
