Remarkable Decision of a Judge.

GRENSv1LLE. Nov. l7.-1n the
Circuit Court to-day Judge Watts
heard the appeal of State Constable
Eichelberger from the judgment of
Mayor Williams, who fined him $50 for
drawing his pistol and cursing on the
occasion of the attempted search Of
Edels house, which so nearly caused
a riot several weeks ago. Thejudge.
without hearing argument, reduced
Eichelberger's fine to S. and ordered
the city to repsy him $45. The city
will appeal. The contention is that
if the mayor. had the right to fine
Eichelberger at all, which Judge
Watts admits he did have, he had the
right to makes the amount within the
legal limits.

The City Council of Colum-
bia Gives s2,5OO to the State
Fair.

When the State Fair came to an end
last week. it was found that the
society had debt of about $4,000 on
hand to be discharged. There was no
way of raising this sum. as the society
has no means or source Of income, ex
-cept the gate receipts.
Therefore the City Of Columbia was
appealed to for an appropriation to
discharge the Indebtedness. This the
Council did alter obtaining the opinions
of several lawyers as to the right Of the
Council to make the appropriation.
The appropriation enables the society
to pay all Of its obligations, and iusures
the continuance of the Fairs in Colum.

How Col. Black Proposes to
Settle the Disputed
Election.

Congressman j. C. C. Black, of the
Tenth Georgia District publishes in
to-day's augusta Chronicle his reply to
Watson's proposal to appoint commits
sion to purge the recent Congressional
election and eliminate the illegal votes.
Congressman Black conferred with his
friends and thus states the conclusion
reached: .'Mr. Watson's proposition is
wholly unpracticab!e After giving
the reasons for this conclusion be says:
but I am in hearty accord with
Mr.. Watson 10 his motive Tor making
the proposition for the purpose Of put
ting an end to the terrible state Of
Affairs iu the Tenth district l am in
no way or degree responsible for this
terrible state OF Affairs for | have
preached 20 gospel of bitterness. I
have appealed to no prejudice. have
not sought to array the country agains.
the town | have not persuaded one
class that they are the victims of an
other and lashed them into frenzy at
the thought. 1t is my belief that if all
illegal votes were eliminated, would be
found to be elected by the legal voters,
10 nearly all Parts Of the district.
Well informed persons assert that the
vote in several of the couuties that
went for Mr.. Watson was proper
tionately more excessive than iu Rich
mond. Moreover the excessive Popu-
list vote in Richmond itself contributed
to the general excessiveness of Rich
monds's vo.e.'
In conclusion, Congressman Black
says: Two methods remain by which
to settle the matter. One is decision
by & Republican House, the other a
new election. Does Mr.. Watson pre-
fer that forum for tbeltrial Of the case
to that of the people of the Tenth dis
trict. especially when it is probable tbas

proved by the conference referred to. |

Of the Fifty-fourtb Congress, but | will

will agree, within the time allowed by

matter back to the people to determine
