SENSATION IN ATLANTA.
Federal Judges Home In
vaded and Dismantled by
Constable and Force of
Negroes.

Atlanta, April 10.-A special
meeting of the Atlants Bar AS.
sociation has been called to
make what reparation it can for
the invasion and dismantling Of
the home OF United States Cir
cult Judge w. B.. Sheppard un-
der writ of attachment. Law
yers as we'll a citizens declare
the affair was al outrage.
A month or more ago the
jurist's secretary was driving
Judge Sheppard home, when the
car hit a negro. The Judge
claims he was not negligent but
agreed to pay the injured mans S
bill and give him $50. The at
torneys tor the negro refused 10
accept this sum and said they
would sue.
Instead of filing an ordinary
suit, they waited until late yes
terday evening And swore out a
writ of attachment. One of the
attorneys, accompanied by a
constable and a force of negroes
went to the judges home and
found Mrs. Sheppard alone with
her children, one of them a baby
of only six months. At once
they bsaan to seize everything
In sight and loaded it on drags.
They took all the furniture except
the beds, the clothing of all the
members of the family the trunks
and even thet US of&he little
ones.
All the time, Mrs. Gheppard
was pleading with the the men
to wait until her husband. re-
turned, but they refused TO Ii,
ten and she says they we're both
rough and insolent. Next Mrs.
Sheppard teiephoned to the law
yer of the negro, but as soon as
she explained who she was, she
says he abruptly hung up the re-
ceiv r, saying he talked busi-
ness with men only.
Judge Sheppard was in C urt
this afternoon and openly a nd
bitterly denounced the treatment
he had received as not only out
rageous, but as an attack upon
the dignity OF the United States
Court.

Incidents in the Remarkable
Career of late Judge T. j.
Mackey, as Related in
Sketch of His Life in
Brooks's Bench and Bar
OF South Carolina"
Thomas Jefferson Mackey, who
was elected judge of the 9Th
circuit ON January %, 1872,
was a native of Charleston, where
he received his primary educa.
tion and also the limited college
training which he had. He serv.
ed in the Mexican war, being a
soldier in the Palmetto regiment
commanded by Pierce NJ. Butler,
and also in the Seminole war.
He entered the confederate
service as a private, and in 1862
had risen to the position of
captain of engineers in the army
of Gen. Sterling Price.
In January, 1875, he was sent
by Gov. Chamberlain to look into
conditions in Edgefield. He
made report in which he scored
the republican officeholders, de
clariug them to be both incom.
petent and depraved. Of the
county government he said: "In
my deliberate judgment, no
such iniquity has been inflicted

The Judge was fond of telling
jokes on Edgefeld. Here are
some:

officer, what did you ever come

Once, on his to Edgefiold, he
said; IL am going to hold

pect a somewhat exciting term
as the fall shooting is about to
commence. "
At another time he said II
have just discovered that great
injustice has been done the peo-
pie of .Edgefeld. Itis charged
that they kill negroes on account
of their political opinions. That
is altogether mistake; they Go

When Judge Mackey went on
the bench he found the civil cal.

been much complaint at the

ness; and on more than one oc-
cssion the bar passed resolutions
of thanks TOR his activity. One
common practice OF his was the
holding of night sessions. After
midnight he would say to the
sheriff. with a twinkle OF his eye
"Mr. Sheriff, announce that the
court stands adjourned until 10
O'Clock this morning"
