in order to stave off defeat.
Tne bill of Mr. Hall of Bibb to repeal
seotion 6331 of the code and restore the
right of trial by jury was lost by a vote
of 71 to 64, iackuig 17 votes, of a constitutional
majority.
Mr. Hall advooated his measure and
Messrs. Slaton of Fultou and Oopolaad
of Walker vigorously attacked ir.
This bill sought to prevent judges
from directing verdicts as they ore now
empowered to do by seotion 5331. In
Tennessee, said Mr. Oopelaud, they
have a nou jury docket, thus -aving the
counties much expeuso iu useless legislature.

Charles A. Williams of Savauunh, who * has
beeu connected with the Rover
since that steamer was plaoed in oom?
mission, claims to have served nmier
Admiral Schley for a number of monthe
cts assistant engineer. He states that he
was with the flying squadron daring
the Santiago campaign, but (oak
part in the nayal battle, huviug prpyiousiy
been tent away in ope pf t^f
pteam launohes to carry dispatches.
Mr. Williamson is su admirer of A4*
piiral Schley and is taking an interest
in the oourt of inquiry now in semi- *
in Washington. He obaraoteriees the
oourt as a "humbug." He thinka the#
Sampson should be given the oredit for
fdaunlng the battle and Schley oredit
or executing it aud destroying the fleet.
In fact, like Sohley, he thinks there was
glory enough to go around.
Mr. Williamson will only be oonnecrefl
with the Rover uutil the affairs of that
Steamer get 111 good running order.
