A QKORUIA VIKU, i ii?- Curious comment? ol Boma People on tho Ui-rh M i . i' nf lllllckw OOll. (From thc Atlanta Constitution.) Thc governor lia-, as yet received no np plication tor a requisition for F. A. Black WOOll, thc milch-fought-over forger who is now under arrest in Aiken county. South Carolina. lt will be remembered that when Black wood's application for a writ of habeas corpus wu? decided in his favor, instead of being turned loose, he was placed upon South Carolina soil, hut, by a strange coin chidlee, light within reach ot' sonic Soutii Carolina constables, who bad warrants for his arrest. 1; was supposed thal immediately after his arrest application for a requisition would he made hy tho Augusta authorities. Hut so far there aro uo evidences of any such action. Thc decision of Judge Koiicy in this case seems to amuse a good many members of thc profession in Atlanta. They say that thc cady question lu fore thc court was th? legality of the arrest of tho prisoner, and that that question could not have been made hy thu prisoner. That bas bein thc universal decision. So Judge ItOUOy must have released lllOprlsoucr bec ause he found that his arrest was illegal and that the sov ereign-thai is the State ?>f South Carolina -was demanding hi., n h ase. Theic is nc law ?in thc face ol' thc earth to sustain hin in this position, ll i> n??l comity nor ex tradition nor anything else. Hui tho most amusing fact connected willi the whole affair was that Bluckwood was not released. If entitled to bis liberty he ought to have walked out of thc court house a free man. Hut it seems that while declaring that he ought to bo released, tho judge did not re lease him. but instead jun bim in custody of thc sherill' to carry billi hack to South Car olina. Tile sherill' didn't carry him hack to South Carolina, hui carried bim down below Augusta lo Sand Har Ferry, and pul ilim in a iio.-it and cai lied him over to thc South Carolina coast on Hench Island, where two South Carolina olllccrs stood ready lo arrest him. "Who sent thom IO that particular point OU tho river.'' asked a prominent attorney who was discuss! ug ike question yesterday, "Who sent tho sherill' with his prisoner several miles down the river when there was a broad'bridge by which they could have crossed to Carolina'.' WliOt'0 did Judge Honey lind bis authority for releas ing a prisoner on babeas corpus and still holding him in custody? Who sent the sherill' down the ri vcr ? All this may bc very adroit management, bul lt isn't law. Such a decision will bo ridiculed Oil both sides of thc river." This i- a sample of the (pieries pul by different members ol' tho bar when discuss lng thc Blackwood matter. The prepon ?le?ame of opinion seems lo bc thal Judge Honey's decision is not good law, but while they criticise his decision, nil join in paying thc highes! Iribulot i lils character as a man and in expressing the belief that bc inti acted conscientiously throughout. MOUE Ol' ULACKWOOD. BITorlH to Urin? Yhoul n t.'oiii|iromtae in Iii?

It will bo remembered Unit when Ibu habeas corpus case was decided in favor i I Blackwood thc court, instead of ordering his release, turned him ovt r to ibo custody of thc sherill ol Hichmond cbunty, with in structions t?i "placo him hack upon South Carolina soil." This was done, but it was done in a way which indicates that the:? must have hu n some previ ais understand lng between the authorities of Richmond county and tho-,- ol' Aiken CO.Uily, S. i . Abroad bridge joins Augusta and liam burg, and had the prisoner bcou released, and be should have been under the decision of the court, ho would undoubtedly liavi made straight for thal bridge as the short est path to sali ly. lt i- natural lo sn ppm ?-. too, that the sherill' would ordinarily have taken Blackwood to South Carolina by Bili roule. Did he ?io ihisv Hardly. Mr. Sheriff cv! dently has ll fondness for water routes, and to gratify this fondness takes bis prisonei several miles down Ibo river, where a row boat ls obtained, and together they are landed on thc South Carolina bank of tilt river. Hy a strange coincidence, several Aiken county constables happen io bc ai thc same point al the sam?: lime and the rc suit is Black wood's ride to liberty is noth lng more than a transfer fiom a jail il Georgia loone in South Carolina. Blackwood ls supposed to bo held until r? requisition ? an he Issued for him, but he is, in reality, being held tl lt I i 1 some .sort ol'ar agreement can I?' brought about. Stone and McNally are considerably averse t<> being tried in South Carolina foi kidnapping, and il' they ? au effect some ur rangement by which lin: wounded In nor of thc State of Soutii ( ai ulina can he up peased they will gladly do so. As the matter now stands they are to he turned over to the authorities ol' Aiken county, S. C., us soon as thc eases pending in Georgia courts arc decided. It is slated upon good authority that their attorneys have nnule a proposition to drop tiic prosecution against Bhickwi od in case the sana- is don,, with thcc.ee.- against Stone and .McNally. This ls the same proposition that was made by their friends before thc habeas corpus case was decided. The South Car olina authorities refused to entertain it lin n, and it does not seem likely that they ??11 do so now. ll this fails, a compromise will be .sought on sonic other ba8?3. In thc meantime Blackwood languishes in jail. A Woman Ullin HIT < mid.
