KVIKDSOK I J ob iPi-'iiatiixg ) The Red Oak Revenue Thugs. j The Atlanta Constitution reports f'the beginning of the trial of the Red Oak revenuo thugs in the United States Court in that city for the rnur <ler of a citizen named Jones some \ weeks since. The testimony was as tfbllows:: F. .Gr. buttles testified that the last timo liejsaw Jones living was while he was running through his planta tion. Firing of guns attracted his attention. He saw Jones jump a fence, .run across a field and fall. ' Saw a posse of men run iuto a fence .corner and fire on Jones. The firing was very rapid. He did not see Jones ?fire. A man jumped over the fence and ran after Jone1 and fired at him three times. After Jones Toll three other men got aver the foncc, and all four went to Jones body. Jesse Ross-tcstjfied that he saw .Jones on the 24t)>. When.Jones was .killed witness was a prisoner in .charge of- Ren Rolton and a posse of thirteen men. The witness pointed out several men in the Court room as persons belonging to the posse. I "was going home from Mr. Gates' when arrested. I had been there to engage a threshing .machine. I met the posse and hud passed by them when Mr. Port bailed mc and asked me where I was going. I had a gun in my hand which I had carried with me to kill any game I might see. Port took the gun from me and order ed to go with the posse. I insisted on going home, but they forced me to go with them. When I was cap- J tured two men were with me?one j was Rattcrce, the other was Jones, \ the -deceased. Rattcrce was unarmed, j When I was captured they were tlilr- \ ty or forty yards in the rear, and when they saw me captured they turn ed out into the woods. The posse took me to where Ratleree and Jones had turned out of Lite road and I heard a rustling in the leaves. Mr. Bryan then threw up his gun and fired. In the excitement some one cried out, don't let that prisoner get away. 1 saw Bolton running toward me wyih gun raised to st^ke'nW I threw up my aim and warded the blow oil front my head. The revenue parly fired nhout seventeen shots in the direction of my friends. We advanced about one hundred yards when I saw Jones and Ratleree cross the road and enter Sultlc's field. One of the revenue party cried out, "Yonder tltey go, G?d d?m 'em, kill 'em." They commenced shooting at Jones, who was running across the field. The posse ran up to the fence, neatly all of them firing. As .Junes fell, some qne cried out, "That got hi in." Jones then rose, and some one of the posse took rest on the fence and shot sit him again. Bob Rjlton, William Rolton and Bryan then went to where Jones was, and found him dead. They limn saw a man about a quarter of a mile across the field. B?llen loaded his gun, but Bryan told him not lo (he. After Jones started to run he never turned or ti ied to shoot. Park Woodward, Chief Deputy Marshal, was introduced and asked whether or not the posse had a war rant for William Jones. He said he could not 6ay without referring to his books. ?Tames M. Bryan, one of the posse, for the defense, was introduced. He was one of the party who killed Jones. He testified that the posse was bred into from the woods, and they bad returned the fire. lie had not seen Jones jump the fence, hut saw blood on the fence at the place Where be supposed Jones had crossed ; did ftot see any one shoot at Jones after ho got into the field. The party left Jones lying in the field about two xainuscs after the last gun was fired I did not find any still in operation in the neighborhood. The party found the material which bad heen used for di3lijling. Four or live dis tilleries recently deserted were found. The party was hunting stills when it was attacked. Don't know whether the party had any warrant. We were engaged in our regular duty as a rov Q'uue posse when fired upon. Ak {lunt, another member of the party, testified that they were fired into, soop after they captured Ross. The party returned the liio. "We tried to find the parlies who shot at us. Wc went on about two hun dred yards when wo were again fired ^nto. Several shots were fired at us. . "We charged in the direction of the firing and shot as wc went. 1 saw Jopcs running across tho field. There I was filing after wc got into the field. j Ho was running and not trying to shoot. About tho time Jones fell Port ordered us to stop firing and save our ammunition. Jones fell once, then roso and soon fell again. Can't say whether he was fired on af ter ho fell or not. Freeland another of the party testi fied to the same elFect. A. W. Port testified to the main facts as related by t he other members of the party. He was in charge of the parly. He ordered the party to cense firing after Jones fell the sec jond time. Jones fell again and didn't j rise. ! Witness said he left Atlanta on the night before the killing with the reve nue parly engaged in it; went to Red Oak ; searched for stills that night, and thinks armed men were watching Ithe party; about sunrise saw four armed men watching them ; going along the road they met Ross, and just after meeting him were fired into ? from the bushes; they were tired into again soon afterwards. Witness said j Jones fell three or four times after crossing the fence. He ordered the men to cease firing when Jones fell. The attack on the paity was quite un expected. The party had no warrant for the arrest of Ross, and no evidence that: be bad been connected with any illicit ! stilling. Col. Spencer?Was Ross disturb ing your party when you ..arrested him ? Witness?No, sir. On Which Side? A correspondent writes to the .Phil adelpbla pCimv8^ov an answer to that question which has long puzzled the j beaux?on which side should a gen-; lleinan ride when escorting a lady on j horse back : Tbc editor sa) s :'lJ*his is a point on which usage is cot sharply defined. .It was formerly the general custom for the man to ride ou the olf side of tbu lady, for the rea ! son that he could thus bring bis horse much closer to hers without incon venience to hef, ami wctild avoid the danger of entangling his stirrup or spur in her habit. The shorter and less voluminous skirts now worn j makes this last consideration of less^ importance. Though a man riding j on a lady's left,must still keep a re spectful distance, there is a very strong argument in favor of Ulis po sition, that be has his right hand to- i ward her, disengaged and ready to aid her in case of au accident, to catch her bridle, or herself should she fall 01 her saddle-girth slip. And this is not all. It is probable that I the custom of riding on the lady's right really arose lrom lue fact that in England you take Lhc left of the road, and the man should always be j next the passers-by. Rut with us tlie law of the toad is .reversed, and the man .should the re lb re ride upon the near side, that he may be between his companion and those whom they may meet. The practical arrange ments seem thus infavor of the near side, and it will be found that custom lends increasingly in that direction. A Morning Star of Memory. The Chicago Tinus relates a sad but beautiful incident of woman's de votion. In the fashionable west di j vision of the city there lived a young couple who were engaged to be mnr |ried, but ere the ceremony had been ! performed the gentleman was taken down with that most loathsome of j diseases, smallpox, and was conveyed to the pest-house. Thither the young lady followed, and there sho nursed him back to life but not to one of its ; greatest blessings. The case devel oped into the dreadful typo known as j "confluent," and when the young lover aroee from his couch he realized the doom of desolation entailed upon him?he was stricken blind. And now, says the Times, while the warm . sun is waking into vernal beauty .park and boulevard, and while tire I shade trees are throwing out their I umbrageous loveliness, a stalwart man, erect and stately still, although destitute of vision and with a face scarred by that fell malady, may be [ seen walking slowly amid the bean i ties of the summer lime, and by Ida side a young girl, upon whom he ! lenns for guidance, and who is to him "the morning star of memory" that cannot fade or die until the last dread summons make even such sub lime devotion vain to preserve a life that must be, without such solace, worthless and desolate beyond ex pression. The Rev, Dr. Diller's Death. Before tho fire broke out on the Scawanhaka, two striking figures had attracted tlie attention of many pas sengers. One was a venerable man of 70, siver-haired, portly, with gray whiskers and a good-humored, pleas ant faco. Although he weighed full three hundred pounds, he was feeble, and the object of alfeclionato atten tion from the lady who accompanied him. Tho man was ;he Rev. Dr. Jacob William Dillcr, rector emeritus of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Clin ton avenue, Brooklyn. The lad.) wan bis daughter, Lillio Diller. Even while the other passengers were in in tense alarm for their owji safety, their attention was riveted by the de voledness of the brave woman, whom not even the flames could drive from j the post of filial duty. Dr. billet' had been for some time suffering from | softening of the brain, and the whirl j of excitement on the boat seemed to havo dazed. Although .Miss Diller had placed a life preserver about him, i ho clung with frantic grasp to one of the posts, and his daughter's entreat ics could not move him. With eyes fixed in almost vacant stare upon the terrible scene, and regardless of the fact that the flames were creeping to ward him, he hugged his support. Gr-dually all in the vicinity had fled to some place of safety, and the two were left alone near the cracking lim- j hers, now enveloped in the smoke and hid from view, and now set out in i strong relief by the hack-ground of j fiio. The sparks begad to fall j near them, nud again and again Miss | Diller entreated her father to leave the spot. ???Save my father ! Save him ! Oh, save him !'' she cried. Persons in the water culled to her to leap and save herself. .Fiual[y the flames en veloped the.unfortunate,pair, -and it was only then, when her father's hair and clothes were burning, ami her | own dress bail taken fire, that she gave an embrace and a parting kiss ! to her father., and with "Good bye" J upon her lips, fell senseless into tho | water.?-Among thotle who ^witnessed the dreadful scene was Mr. Mitchell Cooke of 58 Broadway, lie had been among those who urged Miss .Diller to jump into the water, and as he w?3 an export swimmer, and had' two life preservers, >he was ready to render her assistance. As she rose j to the surface he grasped ncr stream ing hair, and bore her to the shore at the moment when the fierce flames had overtaken her father. Despite ; her heroic efforts to save him, the tire! soon hid him from the view of the spectators. Miss Diller did not sec j him die., She was taken to Randall's Island, where she was found lo be temporarily, if not i ermanently, j blinded by the heat. Her face and j neck were severely burned, but her life will be saved. The .S>anville Tragedy. The tragic death of Miss MaLtie i DeJarnette in a bangio in Danville, I Va., reported by telegraph and pub lished a few days ago, recalled to several persons the fact that she lived | in Charlotte four months age. She drifted 'here, a 3'oung girl timid and retiring, in search of work, ami ap plied to a lady who -kindly offered ' lo assist her in every way. She had beeu living with a family here, she said, but was unable to do the work required of a hired servant. The lady offered to give her sewing and kept her in the bouse for a week or longer, but the employment was temporary and she left lo go to live with another family. Her health was poor and it gradually grew worse. Finally, she left, saying that she was going home. This was the last that was heard of her until the news of her death was received. Jt is supposed she went directly to Danville, and in despair leaped into the whirlpool of vice, where her life was ended under cir cumstances the most tragical and ' painful.? Charlotte Observer.

The political pot has scarcely begun to boil yet, but the fires are .being kindled up. It is generally concecded that both parties have put forward their strong est candidates. Gen. Hancock, one of the candidates for President, is said to bo a grandson of John Han cock of Revolutionary lame. The old Hancock mansion in our boyhood stood on Bcacont street near the I State House and was the object of I both curiosity and veneration; so much so that when the site wus pur chased for a more expensive residence the old stone house was takon down 1 and set up in another placo a perfect ' fac-simile of its former self.

It is often said that platforms moan nothing ; but, in the present in stance, it happen*' that the National platforms represent pretty accurately the spirit of the two -parties. The Republican platform looks backward, the Democratic platform looks ahead, i The Republican platform deals in j and appeals to old and mischievous! sectional issues, the Democratic plat-j form, though not perfect, is yet thor oughly national and not sectional in j its spirit. The Republican platform favors or encourages monopolies ; the Democratic platform favors taxpay ers?tho people. We have spoken of the Democratic platform as an honest and business like document, and one proof of'his that though much shorter than that of the Republicans it contains all that is; good and pcttinent in all that and a! great deal more besides. Finally, it must Ik; admitted that there is a little brag also in the Dem-: ocratic plat form, but it is on a point where the party has a right to boast J of itself. It "has reduced the public expenditures forty millions a year," I say the Democrat?., and they -might: have added that it <od this against the sncets and open and covert oppo- j sition of the Republicans in Congress. This Democratic boa**is well found-! cd. They had the .courage to be unfashionable. From the day .-ihey , regained control of the. I louse ol Rep- j resentalives they have fought for rig-, id economy, sometimes with poor: judgment, but courageously and re gardless of the outcries and- resistance I of the,Republicans. The ?lobby*has disappeared fro.m Washington-since the Democrats -"came .in that lobby ? which was once so powerful I that'in] the last House which was under Re publican rule the Speaker was public ly presented with a piece of silver as a testimonial from "the king of the lobby." ?It wars said by one of* the shrewdest mca in the -Democratic party some y_ears,ago. "I Uun'l.bel*'"*0 wo. i)qmp-' crats will ever win until wc dare to be Democrats."' Well, the platform this y ear is a genuinely Democratic platform ; the parly seems at last to have turned Democratic. ,It has re gained its old time -boldness"and di-i rcctness ; it dares once more to say what, it means. Who knows? Per haps it will win. It looks a little that way just now.?Xriu Yurie Herald. Ten Miles of Green -Turtles. Captain J. B. Rogers, owner of j the schooner James Anderson, that left Lufktn's slip on the 20lh of June, for Cclcasieu, encountered a squ II! oIT Sabine on the 21st, in which (lie vessel lost her jib nnd broke the cen tre-bonrd. The rquall seemed to cx- j tend in a circle of about five miles, and was very severe. Vessels u few miles away were entirely out of reach i of the wind that was pitching the i Jarnos Anderson about. .For one half-hour the schooner was in-consid able damage, but good seamanship ' nnd cool judgment carried her through safely, and with only tlie | damage 'mentioned.
