Dramatic Scene at Murder Trial.

With all the murder trials with
which Auburn has recently been attic
ted none has been mere dramatic Ia its
details than that of Edward Hoppin,
which ended yesterday with the acquit-
tai of the prisoner. Az alre.ty related,
Hoppin's crime was the killing Of his
sisters sedncer by hasty blow, after
he had been tainted With the great
shame which had tortured him for \
year and sent his mother to tue grave
with broken heart. Thursday was
the most dramatic day Of the trial.
Hoppin himself went upon the stand
and told his story with wonderful eff
feet, reciting the sorrow Of his sister
over her fall. her attempt at suicide,
his own efforts TO cheer aud comfort her,
her expressions of penitenco for the one
fatal error, and Of confidence in the sol
emn promises of her lover. who had de-
serted her end fed~to distant ,rt Of
the country. He then told Of his
mothers anguish aud death IN terms
that overwhelmed the vast audience
and the jury in tears, while his own
grief often rendered speech impossible.
He gave plain and frank statement OF
she fatal act, which was inspired by the
taunting words of his sisters bctrayer
''Well, l see you have lived through it,
when he met him in the postofiice.
These words stung Heppin to madness.
and, selling baseball bat. Of which
there were several in the store IN front
Of the office. he dealt Proudit one blow
which felled him 10 the fiocr and then
stood over him till help could be OBJ
tanned Another witness was Hoppin's
sweetheart, Amy Turner. who, in brief
and modest terms. told of frequent con-
yersations with her lover with regard
TO the great shadow that had fallen
upon his home. and of his frequent
moods of abstraction. when he seemed
To forget even her presence and was not
like himself. The telegraph brings as
the news that Hoppin was acquitted
yesterday. and Immediately wound up
.sthis thrilling drama by marrying Amy
! Turner, the young lady who had stood
SO faithfully by him in all his troubles,
in the presence of Judge and jury. And.
"a though all the conditions of tragedy
had not yet been supplied, the affairs
ends with the sudden death Of DIR.
Proudft, the uncle OF tho dead seducer.
who had been excited to apoplexy by
apprehension OF charges of malpractice
in the treatment Of his erriug and un-
fortunate nephew Troy Tines.

And now Alexander H. Stephens is
the last SUBJ crber to the Radical doc

that 1t was not Mexicanized, If this is

Of the diOgrace heaped upon It's public

Congress has past and the President
approved bill admitting works of art
imported from abroad free of duty. We
fail to perceive any valid excuse for such
legislation at this time, The argument
that it will tend 70 elevate and improve
The taste of cur people by placing works
Of art within reach of many who would
not otherwise purchase them Is all very
good If we were prosperous as nation
and as individuals, but ct this tima we
need bread and meat decidedly worse
than we do paintings Or statutes, and the
abolition Of import duties upon clothes,
sugars, cofIees or iron would have reduced
the prices OF the ordinary necessaries of
life, thereby comforting upon the toiiing

Hon. Alexander II. Stephens has tale.
grapheu to Augusta that he will stand
ifbF Fo-5leotioE - Congress FROM .liE as.
trict, and We hope that tho result of the
election will leave him standing unelect.
ed. Mr.. Stephens is q man Of fine In.
tellectual powers, hnt as q politician and
statesman he fills to the brim our idea OF
failure. Take away from him his
egotism and self.will, and he would be q
pitiable public man, but no has been in
the habit of telling people of his great
ness in unmeasured terms until many
have actually become his blind followers.
What he he's ever done to justify this
following is not exactly easy to tell, un-
less it % the reputation ne mas achieved
as a successful lawyer of ability. AS q
statesman he has not been success,
He has one of those peculiar tempera-
ments which induces him to consume his
force in fighting his friends, thereby
giving aid aud comfort to his opponenta.
AS Vice President Of ths Confederacy he
quarrelled with Mr.. Davis and the cabi.
net while the lines Of the invader were
actually investing the Capitol of the
struggling government. As represen-
tative in Congress- he has opposed his
party in many of the most important
matters. he advocated Grant for q
third term, and now he Is joining With
the Republicans In opposing the inveati-
CATION of the Louisiana and Florida
presidential votes. He is, in his own
opinion, the embodiment Of the wisdom
of his party, and although he refuses to
give his presence In caucus, he AFRO
gates 70 himself the privilege of berating
his political associates because o majority
of them do not run away with his unrsa-
sonahle views. The people of Georgia
can secure a much abier representative
thai Mr. Stephens. They need repre-.

A second attempt to assassinate Kaiser
Wilhelm, Emperor of Germany. was
made last Saturday while he was riding
in tho Avenue Inter der Linden, i,,
Berlin. A Doctor of Philology, an agri-
culturist, named Kayl Nobelgen, was the
assassin this time, and o double.barrcl
Rhot gun, loaded with nmnll and hnck
shot, was his weapon. He fired twice.
lodging about thirty small shot in the
Emperor's face and arm, from the effects
Of which he bled profusely and suffered
great pain. No serious apprehensiona
are, however, felt on account OF his
wounds. When wounded his attendant
supported am, and Immediately carried
him 70 the royal palace, where his wounds
were cared for. Large crowds gathered
upon the streets, and great excitement
prevailed. Nobelgen Is member of
the Socialist clubs, and quantity Of
arms were found in his apartment. He
fired several shots at those who attemp-
ted to arrest him, and when he found
that he Hould be captured he attempted
to kill himself. He admits that he is

Germany to have hanging, aud Nobel

Postmaster General Key has given ad.
ditional evidence of his love for Office
and his servility in order to retain his
position. The letter, which we publish
elsewhere, indicates the true character Of
the man. He realized that his position
in the Cabinet was in danger, and imme.
diately he writes this letter, which places
him outside of the Democratic party and
into the fold of Repnblicanism. He
makes his cry of alarm In order TO shield
if possible, the Republicans from the OK.
posure of their frands. 1t il in bad
taste for him to write this letter above all
Others, for the investigation duplicates
the President who is giving him Office
and Mr.. Key evidently writes it to repay
the appointment and hold on to tho po.
sition. He catches up the ridiculous CRY
Of Mexicanization, and becomes more
blatant than Eugene Hale, in declaring
thst the san:h must take .he res2onsi.
billy of this investigation, and that we
are now menaced with civil war. Sure.
iy Mr. Keys brain has become fevercd
by the fear Of decapitation to see any
such consequences. Atany rate, If there
Is any danger of revolution 1t is from the
fact that fraud holds the Presidential
office, and does not desire an 'nvsa!iga-
tion Of the crimes of his party. We
think this investigation does mean rev.
olution, but 1t is to be bloodless one,
and will be effected at the ballot box.
The result of the Investigation, if we are
not disappointed, will revolutionize this
government, at the next election for
President. from the Republicans to the
Democrats, and then such men as Mr..
Key will retire from public life. Such q
revolution. however. does not frighten
the people. 1t is contamination great.
Iy to be desired.

The ex-Republican statesmen who be-
come troublesome 70 the workers for good
government should at once be placed
under indictment for their. past crimes.
Il nothing else will put quietus ON such
men as Nash, Swails and Cardozo, they
should be safely housed for term OF

prison. It may be that their long lease
Of power in this State, and the easy life
ef lngsry :lc5 enjoyed sasjiooy; I'd, mas caused them
to forget the humber but no less honest
and upright trades Of life. but, ifso, O
term in our State penitentiary would
probably bring 1t back to their memory,
and in turn cause them to forget the
ways of politics. At least, the .xpsri-
ment should be tried if they do not cease
meddling with public affairs with which
their rascality shows them to be un.
worthy Of trust.
