Not Going to Enter the Macon TOurna-
ment-Their Annual Picnic.
A meeting Of the Georgia Hussars was
held at tneir drill rooms last night to con-
slider the invitation to enter the Macon
tournament on the 2Sth Of May. The re-
port Of Lieut. F. NJ Hull, who returned
from Macon Yesterday. where he was
sent to confer with the gentlemen
who are the promoters of the tournament,
was received. and after considerable dis
cussiOn 1t was determined TO decline the
invitation. II was hoped that the Hussars
would enter the list, but the tilt Oc-
curing on date when it
would be incOnyenient and i'm
practicable for a full team TO leave, 1t was
deemed ineXpedient to accept the invita-
ton. Capt. Milledge. of the Governors
Horse Guards of Atlanta, who has been
closely connected with the tournament
affairs, will be advised to-day of the
Hussars' action. 50 far as can be learn
ed only two OF three companies have ar
ranged To enter the tilt. and with this
number it could hardly be a success. 1t
was thought probable that another OppOr-
tunity would be afforded for the
IIussars 10 meet the Charleston
Light Dragons this season, but it is I'M
derstOOd there is little probability that the
Dragons Will 20 to Macon.
After the disposition of the tournament
matter the annual May picnic was dis
cussed and a committee Ofseyen appointed
determined upon a place at which il
should be held and the date, and also to
arrange the details for the occasion.

The gallant old Chatham Artillery under
command Of Capt. J. F. Wheaton, were
out for drill yesterday afternoon. At 4
O'Clock the corps rendezvoused at the
armorv. aud with a fine turnout Of men
and four guns made a short street parade.
after which the eyolutions Of the battery
drill were witnessed BY a large
crowd in the Parade Ground.
The Galatians always draw a crowd Of
spectators upon occasions Of their
parades. At the conclusion Of the parade
the command returned 10 the armory

down the street under the arehing branch

and in fact their attendance isscOnsdered
doubtful. The Chathams attended an en-
campment there in 1850, at which shoot
ing contest took place between teams
Of ten and five men each, Of the
visiting companies. which was Won
by the Galatians in both contests, as also
the individual prize, which was won by
Lieut.. George p. Walker. II consisted Of
a very fine belt offered by Gov. COlquitt
for the best individual score in either
team, to be held by the winner until the
next encampment, when it would be com
peted for again. At the time Of the con-
test the belt was not ready for presenta-
ton and Lieut.. Walker had to come away
without il. Since that time it had been
forgotten. A belt was recently made by
PettibOne Il Co.. Of Cincinnati, and for
warded to Rome. where it was not con-
sidered fine enough and was returned TO
the manufacturers Tor finer one. which
has not yet arrived, and probably will not
be received before the competition tor II.
1t is thought that Lieut.. Walker should
have the privilege Of at least look at II
before tn prize is awarded to the next
winner.

An Interesting Case.

An interesting suit was tried in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday be-
fore Judges Pardee and Locke involving
the possession Of CommOdOre's Island, near
Darien. The suit was brought by W. NJ.

:. LangdOn, for ejectment. The island,
sometime before the war, was the prop
erty Of pilot whose heirs are the plaic-
tiffs in the case. The island was an I'M
used property and finally came into the

built a wharf and mills, and improved it

with improvements, is valued at about

THE GOVERNMENT.
The sheriff and JaiIer OF Il burke County
Tried in the United states Court for
Presenting "A False Account.

The sheriff and .Jailer OF Il urke County
Tried in the United states Court for
Presenting a False Account.
The case Of Sheriff Haesler and Jailer
Zorn, Of Burke county, charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the government, came
up for trial in the United States Circuit
Court Yesterday. The defendants in the
case were indicted by the grand jury at
the last term Of court and full report of
the circumstances under which the
alleged fraud was attempted appeared III
the MORNING News at the time. From
the testimony Of the witnesses in The
case il appeared that the account which
Haesler presented and which, he alleged,
was for the support Of a negro prisoner
named Daniel Crumedy. committed to con-
finement in the Burke county Jail. was
false. CTumcdv was committed for three
months and in addition was fined 500,
which in default Of payment Of the fine, Is
equivalent under the laws Of Georgia to
four months imprisonment Crumedy
was kept i'm Jail a few DAYS over
two months and was then released
by ZOrn, who took him to his house as Il
servant He afterwards hired out as a
farm hand, leaving his Imprisonment
extending over only two months and six
DAYS. while the account rendered charged
his support 10 the full term of his COM
mitment. After the evidence had been
completed, Judge Pardee stated that the
evidence was not sufficient to create
L0rn a cOnspiratOr, and he therefore
directed the jury to render a verdict Of
not guilty. He further stated that while
there was no proof Of conspiracy, there
was evident fraud, and the proper course
would have been to indict Haesler for
pre- -enting a false account.

the largest clothing house in the city, or,
in other words, as much as to say will
give you their goods and give you a

such blowing, which does not amount to
"a row Of pins. We can not afford to give
our goods, nor sell them at cost, for we
must live. But our past reputation for
