The Poor House Investigation.

Serious charges have been ramored
over the County against the Steward of
the County Poor House, affecting both
his management and his moral character,
the County Commissioners recently fully
investigated the matter. They summoned
all the Witnesses TO whom they could
trace any Of the rumors, and all per-
sons likely to know anything of the man
agcment before them. MIR. John c.
Written, The Steward, was represented
by Messis. Murray, Breazcale e. Murray.
After the Commissioners had taken all Of
the testimony in their reach, the attorneys
for Mr.. Whitten moved to dismiss the
charges on the ground that the evidence
not only failed to make out case against
Mr.. Whitton, but even showed that his
management compared most favorably
with any of the former Stewards, and
that the inmates of the Poor House wore
we'll aud properly cared for The Com
missiouerS conferred together, and unani-
mously decided that the testimony failed
to show improper conduct or bad manage
luent on the part of Mr.. Written, and
dismissed the case.

A Homicide at Sandy Springs.

On last Tuesday afternoon. 9th inst,
about l o'clock, at MIR. 7. E. Dickson's
gin house, at Sandy Springs Camp
Ground, Doc. Rice, q young white man,
was killed by Mac johnson, colored boy
about Is years of age. Coroner Nance
went to the scene of the atfray Wednes-
day morning to hold an inquest, and up
to the hour of going to press we were un-
able to get any of the facts from eye wit
nesses. Tuesday night Sheriff Bolt was
sent for, and he proceeded to the place
and arrested Johnson, who had made no
effort to flee from Justice The Sheriff ar
rived in the city Wednesday morning
early and lodged the prisoner in Jail to
await the investigation. Mr.. Bolt could
could not give us any of the particulars,
but granted us the privilege OF all inter.
view with the prisoner, whose statement
is, in substance, as follows:
His name is Mac Johnson, and IS a6out
fifteen years old. Lives on Mr.. Walker
Russells plantation, but has been work
ing at Mr.. Dickson's gin. Tuesday alter,
noon young white man and q colored
man, both OF whom work at the gin, and
he were in the gin house. The young
man was playing with him, when Doc
Rice came up and said something to MIN
(Johnson). One word followed another,
until Rice cursed him. He returned the
epithet Rice then picked up broom
handle and attempted to strike him: he
(Johnson) picked up a pole, nine feet long,
which is used in measuring bagging, and
struck him on the head. Rice fell to the
floor and Johnson went Immediately to
his home
Rice lived about one hour after he was
struck, but never moved or spoke word.
Johnson is about half grown, and seems
to be about as intelligent as the average
boy of his race. He says that he and
Rice had had difficulty during the last
Camp Meeting at Sandy Springs. The
above statement is his side OF the attray.
Next week we will give the result of the
Coroner's investigation.
