GARLAND THE DUELIST.
Further Testimony Ia the Case.

LUNENBURG G. H.VA. August 1S.-Interest
in the Garland murder trial is unabated. Peo-
pie from all sections Of this and adjoining
counties continue to flock to the court room.
The examination of witnesses for the de-
fense being resumed to-day, John Roach
was called to the stand. He testified to
meeting Garland and Boswell on the
road the day before the shooting
Garland asked witness to accompany him
down to the intersection of the woods and
mill roads TO have a conversation with refer
ence to the misunderstanding between him
and Addison. Witness also testified to
BoswelPs returning from Wedderburn's
mill and saying Addison was
not there. Also to Boswell's going to
the mill next day, and returning to the
scene Of the conflict, accompanied by Addi-
son, and to the introduction that followed: !:
to Garland's asking Addison If he was
the person who had written those insulting
letters and to the duel that followed; to
Addison being wounded, and to his saying
that he was fatally hurt and was sorry
he could not accommodate Garland any
further.
W. W. Boswell, a witness for the defense,
being recalled, said that he was armed dur
ing the shooting because he heard that
Thomas Organ, Addison's friend, had said
that If Addison did not clean Garland out
he would. Witness only accompanied Gar
land to the scene to have an amicable set
tlement of the difficulty.
E. G. Balm, witness for the defense, who
sharpened a knife for Addison on the morn
ing of the shooting, was not allowed by
the court to testify to what threats Addison
made at that time.
George G. Oorgain, who at the time of the
shooting roomed with the deceased, testi-
fed to having gotten knife out of a pair of
pants on the morning of the tragedy, but
could not swear that they were Addisons
pants. After the examination of this wit
ness court took a recess.
After the recess counsel for the defense
asked to introduce as evidence a letter from
Miss Mamie Hatchett, written from Sassa-
fras Fork, N O., dated July 18Th, in reply
to Garland's letter of the 5th of July, in
which the writer says that as he (Garland)
had denied her charges, she had nothing
more to say. This request provoked pro-
tracted discussion between counsel, the
prosecution claiming that such testimony
would not be legal, and the defense that it
was legal and should be admitted. The
court rejected the letter.
The testimony in the case, both for the
Commonwealth and the defense, being con-
cluded and counsel for the prosecution
having asked further time to prepare In
structions, the court adjourned until $3.50
O'Clock to- morrow, when the instructions
will be submitted to the court and argument
commenced. A Eumber of ladies asked
permission TO attend court tomorrow,
which Judge Perry granted.

Hon. IL. Warren.

EdStOr Morning NeaCs: As one who served
side by side with the Hon. JOS L. Warren
in the Legislature of Georgia, was highly
gratifed to see his Endorsement for Congress
by the unanimous Democracy Of glorious
old Chatham, for he is worthy and well
qualified for the honorable and responsible
position for which he has beennamed.
There is no better worker In Legislative
body in this district than he is, and II the
vast field of Congress is opened up to him
our people will become fully satisfied
with the wisdom displayed in sending him
there, for he will "illustrate Georgian as
nobly In the halls of Congress as did the
illustrious and lamented Barlow In the field
of the never to be forgotten Manassas.
Having served in legislative capacity for
many years, can truthfully say that never
knew OF better working man in such a
body than he is. He possesses high order
Of talents, great tact and honesty of charac-
ter, sustained by a zeal that ssknows no
such word as fall" Besides, In the
dark and gloomy days OF the persecu-
tions growing out of the reconstruction
measures he did not only exhibit pluck and
zeal In our cause, but was very liberal with
his money offerings to sustain us In the days
of our calamity. / am inclined to believe
that when the representatives meet and
consider the matter calmly they will send
him forth as our standard bearer, and that
he will carry 1t safely through to glorious
victory over "the flesh, the devil" and the
Republican party. CARO-.

Galway. Ssefa ~. fss,ls,

LONDON, August 1S.-The Pail Nall Ga
aette says: "Mr. GraY's sentence looks worse
to-day than it did Yesterday. 1t is now a
question whether Mr.. Gray. as a journalist,
has not been instrumental In unearthfng a
grave scandal. We do not believe there is
a single English journalist who would not
have called attention to such q report as
that mentioned by Mr.. Gray. That Mr..
Gray should be in jail is a scandal of the
first magnitude"
A dispatch to the Pail Mall Gazette from
Dublin states that the speeches delivered at
the banquet given by Mr.. Psrnell, after the
conviction Of Mr.. Gray, have been submitted
to the law officers for a decision as to
whether any action should be taken upon
them. Theo. German Malone, member of
Parliament for county Clare, in a speech on
that occasion, compared Judge Lawson to
Jeffreys, and pointed out that the former
had narrowly escaped being torn to pieces
by the indignant people.
Mr.. HealeY, member of Parliament for
Wexford borough, denounced Judge Law
son with similar violence.
A man named Joyce and his entire family
were murdered by party of men last even
lngin their own house near CoDgin, county
Galway. 1t is believed in the locality that
the Joyces gave information in relation to
the murder OF the bailiffs of Lord Ardilian,
whose bodies were found bound together in
Lake Cong.
The House of Lords and House of Com
mons have both adjourned till the Oath Of
October. There was no formalitY observed,
and not even quorum of the House of
Commons was present.

DEAR FRIEND i am SO solicitous4
your welfare that l write to ask for !. rect
information In regard to your health. Ever
mindful OF your generous and cordial sup
port, given to me In times of trial and when
in deepest adversity-simes when the timid
and selfseeking desert, as rats fly from a
sinking ship, l have suffered In your suf-
fering and fervently prayed for your relief.
For my sake, for your sake, for that OF
your family and Of your country, now soreiy
needing your service, may our Father give
you health and strength and length of DAYS.
Mrs. Davis is absent or she would Join me

BEAUvoIR, HARRISON COUNTY, MISS.
August 5, 1882 B H. HUI, Jr Ny DEAR
SIR-Please accept my thanks for yours in
response to my inquiries about your fathers
health. To gratitude and warm affection
was added the conviction that there was no
one who could fill the place of your father
in the defense of our country's honor and
interests. Under the deep anxiety created
by the newspaper reports, felt impelled to
ask for more reliable information, even at
the hazard Of untimely approach.
l hope you may not pass through such
ordeal as that to which l have been sub
jected, and, therefore, never be able to
comprehend the degree of my grateful re-
membrance of the consia ant and heroic sup
port your father gave to me through all the
trials and disasters it was my fate to endure.
l am thankful for the measured encour-
agement your letter gives, and earnestly
pray that He to whom all things are possI-
BILE may yet grant more than the expected
relief.
Give to your father the offering Of my
highest esteem and warmest love, in which
my family would unite, If not at present
absent.
Ny residence is quite near to the Mobile
and New Orleans Railroad, and about mid
way between the cities named, where /
should be very much pleased to receive
you. Faithfully, your friend,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
