Set Free by a Southern Jury.

DEKALB, Miss, Sept 12-The
Court in which is being tried the case
of the State against Henry j. Gully
for the murder of Cornelia Chisholm,
having adjourned at p NJ yesterday,
after an argument for the defense was
closed, that the giei, juryman might
not become too much fatigued, con-
vencd this morning. The concluding
argument of Judge Morris was to the
effect that a conspiracy was formed to
kill Chisholm and Gilmer. The argu-
ment traced the different steps of the
conspiracy from the arrest Of Chisholm
and Gilmcr down to their murder,
and the killing Of C"rnclia Chisholm,
closing by alludny 10 the killing of
Mcclellan as he left ihe Jail, who had
been acting as one Of the guards of
Chisholm, Rosenbaum and Hopper in
the Jail, and who had been discharged
by the Sheriff, the linal wounding of
Chisholm as he came down the stair
way from the sccanl floor of the Jail
at the alarm OF fire, ut which time
Cornelia Chish3la was wounded, and
finally the declaration of defendant
soon afterwaad that they had done
what they came to do, and according
to one witness, the remark 'If there is
any hanging to be done here is my
neck"
The counsel for the defense argued
that a crowd had assembled on that
occasion, armed simply to assist the
Sheriff to arrest the parties charged
with the murder of John Gulley, in
case they should resist, with no pre-
vious design of conspiracy to take the
life of anyone; that the riot broke
forth upon the shooting of Gilmer by a
hot-biooded young man, and that the
older men were unable to quell the
excitement; that the defendant had no
gun at the time that Chisholm was
shot, and that he invoked the crowd,
when just about to shoot at Chisholm,
to leave the jail and go away. Judge
Morris closed his argument for the
prosecution at half-past ten o'clock this
morning. The case was given to the
Jury, and in less than half an hour they
returned n verdict of "not guilty"
During the week of the trial large
crowd has been in attendance, but per-
feet order and quiet has prevailed.

Lonp-Perduo Case.

This case was again in Court last
Saturday in new phase, being on a
petition to discharge the defendant
Perdue from Imprisonment, on the
ground, that having been discharged
as debtor under the late bankrupt
law he was discharged from the in
debtness in the Long case for which
he is now in prison here. and on the
further ground that he had right to
discharge under the insolvent laws
generally. The case was ably argued
and with much interest being taken
by the Bar in the question. Thomas
NJ. Marshall, Esq, of Pittsburgh, ap-
peared on Saturday last as one of the
counsel for Perdue, and made forci-
bic argument in his behalf.

Butler Fair.

The weather for the Fair days last
week turned out most pleasant, and, on
Thursday at least, there were ON the
grounds near as many people as at our
former Fairs But not as many as we
would wished to have seen, or as
might have been. The numbers pres
ent, however, from nearly all parts of
this large county, convinced us of one
thing, and that is, that the people gem
orally delight in and take more interest
in Agricultural Fairs than they do in
almost any other kind of reunions.
And what could be more natural, good
and proper, than doing so? After the
toll of sowing in the spring the cultiva
tion and care Of the crops through the
summer, and the final gathering of the
harvest, what, we repeat, could be
more appropriate and have better
social effect on any community, than
