The EVfd ence for the Prosecution
COncIud' d.

CHARLESTON, April 12.-Iu the United
States Court to-day, Judge Bond presiding,
the trial OF the case of the United States VS..
Joseph Bates and others, charged with a
violation of the United States election laws,
was resumed. L. G. Scott, colored, Joseph
Hinton, colored, Jos. johnson, colored, j.
d. Bingham, colored, York Shell, colored,
NJ. H. Berry, white, K. N. Richbourg, white,
j. d. Evans, white, John L. Siebels, white,
and McRobertson, white, were examined as
witnesses by the government. The testi-
mony of the colored witnesses was merely
corroboratiVe Of the testimony given yester
day. Berry testified that he had made ballot
boxes for Richland county, and that the box
produced in court was not one OF them.
Mr.. Richbourg, Chairman of the Board OF
Election Commissioners for RchIand
county, testified to turning over the ballot
box for Acton precinct TO James Bates, the
defendant, as chairman of the board OF
managers of election of that precinct. So
far as he knew there was nothing save i'm
structions to the managers In the box when
he delivered 1t.
Mr.. Siebels testified that he was present
when the box was delivered to Bates. The
box in the court was the counterpart of the
box delivered to Bates. There was nothing
10 the box so far as he knew when 1t was
given to Bates.
The District Attorney then sought by in
Producing testimony as to the conduct OF
the election at other precincts in Richland
county to connect the defendants with a
general combination to commit fraud.
The court ruled that such testimony would
be inadmissible, there being no count for
conspiracy in the information. The defend
ants could only be held accountable for
what was done at Acton poll.
The District Attorney then announced
that the prosecution would close its direct
case.
The court then adjourned until to- morrow
morning at ten o'clock, at which time the
defense will open their case.

THE BROTHER IN BLACK.
One Million Dollars for His Spiritual
Benefit.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 2.-Assemblyman
Patterson to-day introduced bill to incor-
porate the trustees of the John F. Slater
fund. The bill names Rutherford B. Hayes,
of Ohio; Morrison r. Waite, Of the District
OF Columbia; VIM. E. Dodge, of New York;
Phillips Brooks, of Massachusetts,; Danl. c.
Gilman, of Maryland; John A. Stewart, of
New York; Alfred Il. Colquitt, of Georgia;
Morris K. Jesup, of New York. James P.
Boyce, Of Kentucky, and VIM. A Slater,
of Connecticut, incorpOratOrs of the fluid,
to be called the Jno F. Slater fund. Ruther-
ford B. Hayes is named as the first Presi-
dent. The fund is to consist of one million
dollars Mr.. Slater is wealthy gentleman
Of Norwich, Conn.
In a letter to the Board of Trustees. Mr..
Slater writes as follows: "The general OBJ
ject which desire to have exclusively pur-
sued is the uplifting OF the lately enanci
pated population of the Southern States
and their pos'erity by comforting oa them
the blessing of Christian educa-
ton: The disabilities formerly suf
fered BY this people and their
singular patience and fidelity In the great
crisis of the nation, establish a lust claim on
the sympathy and good will OF humane
and patriotic men. L cannot but feel the
compassion that is due, in view of their pre-
vailing ignorance, snd which exists through
no fault of their own"
Mr.. Slater purposes to leave the trustees
the largest liberty in making such a change
in the methods Of applying the fund as may
from time to time seem wise. He suggests
that the education of teachers for the COL
ored race may be the wiseat purpose to which
the fund can be put. II after thirty-three
years three-fourths of the trustees shall for
any reason agree that there is no fur
ther use for the fund in the form 1t is
now instituted, he authorizes them to
apply the capital to establishments subsi-
Giary to existing institutions of higher edu-
cation, so rs to make them more freely ac-
cessible to poor cOlored students. Under
the present institution OF the fund be spe-
ciallY wishes that neither the principal nor
income be expended in land or buildings
for any purpose other than that of safe and
productive investment for income.

1t is assured beyond doubt, that the road from
Atlanta TO Macon will be completed by the first
Of July and that trains will be running bv that
time. General Thomas, Mr.. Seney and others
interested hope to be here and take a trip over
the road from here to Macon on the 4th of
July. We purchased fifteen thousand tons of
steele rails which will lay the track from Rome
to Macon. Twelve thousand tons Of rails have
already been delivered and are now on the line
between here and Macon, and between here
and Rome. One thousand tons are
now on the way for delivery
and the balance will be here before it is need
ed. Every mile OF rail between here and
Macon is lying along the track to day. Sixty
miles Of the ninety have been completed and is
ready for the track. Ofthe other thirty, all of
it is under way Major McCracken thinks the
line from here to Rome will be finished by the
FIRST Of July. He is a very cautious tslker and
very sagaciOus worker. The money to build
these extensions was ready the day the new
company was formed. Every dollar has been
paid in and Is in bank awaiting the call of
Major McCracken, who has charge OF the con-
structiOn. There are no circumstances con-
ceivable that could prevent the completion of
the two roads. from Atlanta to Macon and At
lanta TO Rome, so that Atlanta may rely on
having two new roads at least before the sum
mer is gone

VERY FEW BILLS.

When there is call Of States for the presen-
tation Of bills in the House nowadays, the del
uge Of proposed measures of all kinds does not
avalanche itself. But very few bills are now
introduced The supply has been to a great
extent exhausted. That is one reason WAY not
many bills are now put in. Another reason.
and probably the greater and more powerful
is that bills introduced at this stage Of the ses-
sion have but very little chance Of considera.
ton at this session even by the committees to
which they are referred. 80 much does the
latter part Of session of Congress do for us.
