The proceedings on the writ of habeas corpus in the case of F. A. Blackwood, of Aiken, who was kidnapped by Stone and McNally, came oil before Judge Roney in Augusta Wednesday. The most impoi tant paper submitted by the petitioner was the affidavit of his wile, 3rs. Susam E. Black wood. She swears, in substance, that Stone and 3IcNally went to her house on the night of the 9th of 31arch and asked for a glass of water, and when it was handed them by her husband he was seized violently by the arm by M3cNally, while Stone pointed a pistol at him and hand cuffed him. When he asked for what he was arrested they refused to prodyce any authority, and simply stated that "they were authority themselves." That both men acted in a rude, boisterous and threatening manner. After arresting him they searched the house, and besides taking $60 in money they took one silver watch, one razor, one pistol and one set of knives and forks, none of which have been returned. Be fore they left the house ' .wood en treated them not to leave his wife penniless and alone, when they refunded her 415. That before her husband was taker away ,by the persons above named, as their pris oner was in irons, he remonstrated with them, and remarked to them that if they had given him their authority when they first arrested him and had not placed him in handcuffs, he might have cheerfully gone with them. Blackwood was then put on the stand, andhe testified as follows: "I have been living in Aiken county since last August. On the night of the 9th -March Stone and M1cNally eome to my house, asked for a glass of water, and when I gave it to them, Stone leveled a pistol at my head, handcuffed me, took mec into the house, searched it, and took almost every thing I had, such as money and silverware. Mc~taily wanted to take somne jewelry, but Stone told him it was my wife's, and lie left it. They then brought me to Augusta, not taking the handcuffs off till we crossed the river. On the 16th. seven days after my arrest, Deputy SheriU Campbell cilme to the jail and served a warrant, and en coming from the jail to-day. a few minutes after 3 o'clock, he served another warrant on me, a bench warrant. When arrested, I told them I did not want to come, but if they had authority to bring me I should have to come. On the way to WXilhiston we met Mr. Gunter. lie asked me if I was going to leave the country. I told him I did not want to, but these men had me handcuffed and I could not help it." Stone was next put on the stand, and he stated that he did not know it was unlaw ful to arrest Biackwood as he did; that such mode of arrest was comimonl: that he did not draw his pistolt and that Black wood came alongr voluntariiy. McNally swore that Blackwood came of on his own free will and accordl, and rela ted the story of how a forged note was passed on him as published. Mr. Hyams, of the Augusta Ec-ening News, swore that on the morning that Blackwood reached Aug~usta he said to him he did not object to coming to Augusta. Chief Twiggs and Lieut. Hood swore that Stone tol them in the presence of Blackwood thet he made no objection to coming and Blackwcod said nothing. The case was argued by 3Iajor Gary for South CarolIna and by Solicitor Wright for Georgia. The Court then adjourned till Thurrsday. After hearing further argument on Thursday Judge R~oncy renidered his decision. After statingt his views of the comity between States. he said: "The highest aim of a government is to protect its citizens. No person shall be de prived of life or liberty, except by due process of leaw. The question ar ises, shall a citizen of one State set aside the laws of extradition and go in'~o another State andi arrest a citizen a ithout due processof law? "If the Courts of Geor ia" or any other State recognize this. it. woud set at naut the provisions of the (ConItitution. If a criminal goes into an'other Stte, the way to get him is by a reqisition. '-Then the qtuestion is broughit up as to whether or not the arrest of Bla:ckwood was according to law! y Was he deprivedl of his ,liberty by due process~ of law' If so. heC should not be remanhed: btt not so, he should be. "The facts, as (jeltedb the testionniy, are that when Blaickwood wans arrmested it is conceded that at that time' Stone ad 3Mc Nally were not armedl by due process of law. The question is whtecr or -'ot Black wood was extradited. It is .n unpleasant duty to pass upon frects. This man was not only not errested by duie proess of law. but was arrested illegally. .he afdavit of Mr. Altman is to the efi'e tha"t he warned them they were rot maki~n: the arrest i0 accordance with the htw. Thi ~'r rply wasi that they would take e~e.Ia bie to bold he did not c.me vuntri anx d shall therefore remand the prisner." Judge R~oney afrward is '-ued an, orderc that Blackwood he dielivered to th in heriff to be by him taken to S'outh, Caroli-"a, there released-and dischar1ed f rom cutody. Accordingly late in the af~ernoon Depuity Sheriff Campbell teek lackw.ood to Sand Bar Ferry. where he was released, but was rearrestea by Constables Spees and Van dever, an ofieter froin Augusta having gone over ahead antd had a wamrra: for his arrest issued by Trial Justice MIason, of Bleechi Island. "When arrested, the constables took him to Aiken, where he will be cotrdined in jail until a requisition can be obtained from the Governor of Georgia and be honored by the Governor of South Carolina.

Sold by 1 Railroad Signals. There were four of them and they were firm friends. They were standing near the flagman's shanty at the Tenth street crossing, when one of them caught sight of a brakeman who was going through various contortions on the top of a box car half way down the yard. "Wonder if the engineer's asleep. iHe don't seem to see that fellow signalling him to pull out," remarked the party who had first noticed the man's mo tions. The others looked. "Pull out," caustically responded the one who wore a plug hat. "Guess you don't know much about railroading. Those motions mean to back up." Before the other could frame an an swer sufficiently ironical to suit his friend's evident lack of mental strength, the man with the checked suit spoke up: "Well, if you fellows don't make mc tired! That signal means that he wants to cut the crossing, and for the engineer to go ahead a little way." "Jim," patronizingly observed the man who hadn't yet spoken; "you're a first-class canvasser, but when you get into a subject like this you're away off Pullout! Back up! Cut crossing! 0, pshaw! It's as plain as daylight that the play is for the engineer to kick the train over into the next track." "May be you fellows think I ain't got scarcely any sense?" inquiringly re marked the plug hat man. "I say he wants to have the train backed up," "And if any one wants to tell me I'm a wall-eyed idiot, he needn't insinuate; I'm right here," the first man wno had spoken said warmly as he glowered on the others. "I say those signals mean to pull out." "And maybe some one wants to tell me I'm a liar when I say they mean cut the crossing." hotly retorted the check suit man. The flagman, attracted by the excited remarks, sauntered up, and on catching sight of him all four appealed to him to referee the question. He looked up in the direction of the gesticulating man, and as an expression of disgust man tled his features he remarked: "Him!

Ney, at Third Creek Church, in Rowan county, N. C., shed no light upon the mystery of the eccentric man who many have long supposed was the verit able Marshal Ney of France. So much of the skull had passed into dust that it could not be ascertained whether or not it had been trephined. Unavailing search was made in the grave for the silver plate and for the bullets which it was thought by many would be found. A large number of persons were pres ent, and the exhumation was conducted by eight well known physicians, who made the following report: The undersigned physicians wish to state that according to previous notice we did to-day cause to be exhumed the remains of P. S. Ney, in the presence of a great number of witnesses, some of them from Washington City, Raleigh and other parts of the country. We found some of the bones only and these in a state of such decay that we cannot state positively whether the skull had even been trephined or not. We made diligent search for bullets said to have been lodged in the body but found none. We succeeded so far however, as to ascertain that the skeleton was about 5 feet 10 inches long and the skull around about the eyes about 24 inches in cir cumference. Searching for a Father. 3Mrs. 31.

He did not go.home, however, but was heard of at MIontgomery, Ala., in 1849 at which time and place he started for California with a man who wts carrying out a drove of cattle. Since then no definite clue to his fate or whereabouts has been received by his famlly. 3Mrs. 3!cGuinn was a child of seven years when her father left home, but has never aban. doned the hope that he would return at some time. He was peculiarly marked. having two thumbs on his right hand, and this clue Is being used in the effort to trace him. There are two men in this county who were in M1r. Kerr's company, and who remember him distinctly, lHe was a prac tical miner and a skillful minerologist and left some property in North Carolina which has never been disposed of because of the uncertainty regarding his fate.-Greentulte .61C8. Unveiling an Indian Idol. A rock which the Sioux Indians near Fort Yates, D. T., have worshiped for generations as the petrified form of a young squaw, was formally unveiled the other day and dedicated to peace and plenty. It appears that the white set ters in the vicinity have long supposed that this specimen of nature's art work exerted a restraining infiuence on the Indians, but of late the rock has been removed from its original resiing place and it was feared that with its removal its charm had disappeared. So the sug gestion was made to Sitting Eull that the statue be placed upon a permanent pedestal and unveiled with appropriate ceremonies. This pleased the' chieftain and 5,000 Indians assembled to take part4 in the strange medley of Christian and pagan rites by which the unveiling was accompanied.-Reno Gazette. -The 3Mexican eartliquake seems not to have been without its compensations. It is stated that the seismic disturbane has led to the discovery of both gold and water in the district affeted, two articles that are very much needed. Thte aver age 3Mexican, judging by his personal appearance, is not as familiar with the use of water, either in the way of inter nal applications, as he should be. As toC gold, he is about on a par with tl'e rest f mankind-he doesn't walk lop-sided from carrying too :nuch of it in hisC pocket. But if one eau-thouake has made water plenty in a Mlexican district where C water was unknown before, it may re quire another earthquake to induce the~ nhabitants to use enough of it to do hem any good. The darkest hour is when you can't .tind the matches. The monument to Garneld, erected to hi, C emory by the Army of the CumberlandI, was unveiled in Washington Thursday with appropriate ceremonies.
