THE GARTER COURT MARTIAL
Resumed Its Sessions in Savannah After Two
 Weeks in New York.

Savannah Ga, March 16.-The Carter court-martial resumed it's sessions here to- day after an absence of more than two weeks in lew York City. The United States court room being in use, the court secured the banquet hall in the DeSoto hotel, where the audience was more select than it had been formerly.
 Chief Clerk J. w. O'Sterly was the first witness called on and his testimony was asked with reference to the only specifica- ton upon which the prosecution has not yet touched-that in which Captain Car ter is charged with having bought articles for office use by putting them on the pay rolls as labor, instead of having them go through the regular routine.
 Chief Clerk Sterly said that had been a regular practice in the office for the last twelve years, ever since he has been here.
 It was shown by the defense, however, that Chief Clerk Sterly had made the pay ments in this way himself, though he claimed he did it all under Capt. Carters orders.
 MT. Blair, for the defense, objected to the introduction of a pay roll which showed that Capt. Carter had been reimbursed for S1250 for money spent for uniforms for sailors on the Angler, by committing the amount into labor. This raised a false is- sue, MT. Blair contended, which related to nothing in the charges, but the court ad- mitted it.
 Several witnesses who had been fur nished articles and signed the pay rolls as laborers, were introduced to testify to these facts.
 Adjourned until Il o'clock tomorrow morning.

ANOTHER CASE OF
 STAINS CRUELTY
Customs Duty on Cattle to Cuba Has Been h.
 creased.
Special to the Age-Trerald.


 Mobile March 16.-When the steamship Nicaragua sailed this evening she carried 40O head of small cattle consigned to Ha- vana. During the past two months many such shipments have been made, but thls will probably be the last one out of Mo- bile
 The cattle are used as food for the peo- pie of the Cuban seaport and a quantity of the meat has found its way on each oc- casion through the liberality Of Americans in Havana and motives not wholly destitute of feeding the suffering reconcentrados The Spanish authorities with a view of grinding much revenue as possible out of the ill-fated island, have increased the customs duty on cattle $5 per head.
 Vice-ConEsul Louis Moragues so notified the shippers today. No preference is made in the size of the cattle, ths duty being now the same on large or small beast.
 By this means another terrible blow IS struck at those natives who fe.5u the Gead'th and consequent extra cost of food supplies tine most, and who are supposed to be in sympathy with the national cause. It Is also believed by the merchants here to be direct blew at this country, being a pro- hjbftive tariff on its expectations of food to Cuba. The revised cattle tariff goes in- to effect on Saturday and the Nicaragua will have just time enough to reach Ha- vana and discharge her cargo before that date. revision is expected next in the poultry schedule, immense business is done between Mobile and Cuba in that line

EDITOR RAWLS TALKS.
States His Side of the Case in the Wheeler
 Controversy.
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 It appears to me, from an editorial in The Age-Herald of yesterday, March 15, that you are anxious to place me in a very bad light before the people of Alabama. both as a gentleman and a journalist. This Is the second attack made upon me through The Age-Herald in the past few weeks. Recently there appeared an article, from your correspondent at Decatur. which reflected upon me very much, and without waiting for me to ask him about the article, he himself wrote to me and sent a copy of the original article that he wrote and stated that The Age-Herald had so padded his correspondence that he him. self would not have recognized 1t but for a part of the main article Then the editor in chief of the paper followed this up with nn attack upon us that is unwarranted and wholly without Justification.
 When Gen. Wheeler made the demand for the name of the author of tile articles that appeared in the Courier we gave them readily, because the writer in d note to us in his first article, directed us to do so. As to being written by the editor of tho Courier, any insinuations made by AnE living man are as false as hell and as Ni- oous as they are false. There are num- Der of letters in the district from thls same correspondent, postmarked Garfield, Va. and signed by the same author, all In .he same handwriting. The same party had written to Judge Richardson asking for names of papers in the district that wero favorable to his candidacy for congress, and the name of the Alabama Courier. with others, was given him.
 The editor of the Courier never knew and never carsd who Gen. Wheeler boarded with in Washington. or where he boarded.

From the Pinckard Pilot.

Seventh district.
 From the Pinckard Pilot.
 The primary election at Pinckard last Saturday passed off quietly. The result was in no way a surprise, as, from the secret workings among the negroes for some days before, the white people had al- ready made up their minds as to the result.
 The Pilot had urged the white democrats to vote for Campbell, knowing him to be the logical candidate of the white people. Many white democrats would have done this, and some attempted to do so after they saw the horde of negro voters col lecting about the polls, the majority of whom held Morris tickets; but these demo- crats who attempted to cast their votes to help ward off the influence of the negro vote, were presented with the party CD pledge, which they were requested to sign They refused to do this, and therefore did not vote for Campbell. Thirty-one negroes out of a poll of 109 votes voted at this box. conservative estimate placed twenty-five of these as voting for Morris, and six for Uncle Philip King.
 A more disgraceful scene was never wit messed around voting place. even in the 70s, when the republican carpet-bagger held sway over the newly franchised negro in Alabama. Some populists were so dis gusted that they failed to vote for any can didate
 AL NeWtOH the scenes around the DOX were even more deplorable
 We learn that the King colored support CTS paraded the streets urging their col ored brethren to cast their votes for Phil lip King; that they. the negroes, now had chance to redeem Dale county to the republican party by the nomination of Phillip King. This box gave King a ma- jority.
 At Ozark the scenes were even more open and disgusting.
 
 The negroes were rallied to the support of Morris by every method conceivable, while many white populists voted for Campbell, and those democrats who were not forced to sign the pledge.
 Fully two-thrds of the negro strength of the county voted, or a total number of possibly 800. A conservative estimate would give Morris $50 of the negro votes. Deduct these from his total of TT, and we find that he received only 427 white votes, leaving Campbell a majority of S9 votes of the white people.
 more successful plot was never con- ceived by the most proficient republican trickster of the Elias M Keils period to thwart the will of the honest white popu- lists of Dale county and they will never submit tO if
