ATLANTA, Ga., June 23, 187L, Only three short years ago it would have been Im- possibie to find tn the State of Georgia, or even in Texas (where it is claimed that the fire-eater breed has reache. its highest degree of perfection), @ more BLATANT YANKHE HATER than Mr. Ben Hil. In old times he bad peen a whig, spd was a Union man when seveasion was voted pon by the States; but no sooner had the war be- muuthaa he became the niost extreme partisan of tbe “last ditch and the last man’ theory of continu. lig tne stragg.e, The surrender of Lee aud John- Stun seemed only to still further infame his patri- atic ire. in the Grst few elections after the war he Btum: cd the State against reconstruction, aud mage nosecret of his purpose to renew the fight against the invader at the first convenient season. Some of his trades at this periud make one shodder by their blasphemy snd mhoamanity, avd can only be charitably excused on the ground of. temporary tusanity. In short, for seven or eight years sir, Ben Hill was as dangerons and rabida epecimen of A REBEL MONOMANIAC atcould be found im the “Merce and fickle” South. In 1304, however, Mr, Bill subsided into private lle, And aiter three years’ retirement seems to have perfectly recoversd his reasou. He has durlag tais time beon vigorously at work bullding up his ma- terial fortunes, He now employs about a hundred and fi'ty’ negroes on his piautation, aud is a rallroad director, and has something vo do offtuiaily with a bank or tivo, and cmuses himself generally with the aistracting hopes and fears of a ospitalist in active bajine-s. Andon bis case, as in 80 many others, a of money making has proved a salutary rem- political snmation of the brain, About iast Deceniber Mr, Hill again came politi. cally to the frout, and announced that the war waa Over nnd that it poiit.c aud wise to “accept the Bit sition.” A HOW!.

Shouid resort to its natural protective energies, If the taw were found ineffectual to vindicate indi- viduals and socteties from these wrongs it would be very right to consider whether the action of the Vigilance committee mignt not be the proper mode of procedure, These were charges, Counsel had acouzed Gould, Fisk and Lane with usurping the control of the most important railroad corporation in the State of Now York; with exhausting its resources and peculating its trea sury, ruining tts credit and bribing the Logislature and the judiciary, dishonoring the American name thronghont the world, and that the law was power- for redress. It was remarkable that snoh a state of things should extst in a country under gov- ernment of law, and it was more remarkable that they could exist against the interest and the rain of the stockholders representing $70,000,000, The stockholders had investigated these socusa- tions, with tho chargos, broad and plain in thew character, and, as appeared in the record, they bad been completely exonerated by these persons Irom those very serious Imputattona, and the spec- lacie, strange and unusnal as ti was, waa preacnted of counsel and ® commn- nity reiterating the accusauens whioh the | aigho Most interested and who wore most injured ad again and again sustained the offenders in the retention of power. Where was tho evidence upon Which those charges were maie’ There was nota particle of evidence adauced to uphold these accu. gations: Dut there wore some things tn this regard nudellnabie in their nature which were admitted on the other sido. ‘They admittea the existence of the Protective Committee. They admitted that the real purpose wa3 to take the authority from (he posses- fion Of thes2 mon with which thoy were invesied by the stockholders of the corporation. It had been intimated that Pisk, Gould and Lane had bribed the Boara of Directors; but there was not a word of evidence to sustain that accusation, The share- holders—the only interested parties in the case— were satisiied with the adounistration of these gen- uemen and continued them in power, end he had @ perfect right to assume and contend that the charges of these gentiemen were utterly baseless, Bat what had tals question to do with the accusa- tions put forward so pertinaciously by counsel lor Plainiut. He did not expect that the prejud! animosities and denunciations so largely indu! in against Mr. Gould would in any way influence the action or the Court. Mr. Gould was not begging for mercy; he aske‘l tor justice; and whatever order of Murs Court will be made on this subject he would not Implore its modification from the mereifal tea. Mr. Gould occapy in this matter? He was not a party to the snr, nnd was not in any way subject to the jurisdiction of tho Court exovpt in consequence of sume act upon his part not proven as variance with justice and te rigat of the Gouri. If his cuont interfered with property in the posscasion of the Court he should be punished for contempt. But upon What was that interferencs established? These ten asked the Court for the issue of an order to compel him to deliver up 30,000 shares of stock for the beneit of Heath and Raphael. ‘The whole history of judica- ture aflorded no precedcat for sucha motion, He | was denied the right of trial guaranteed to ever; citizen under the fundamental laws uoder whic they lived, and it would be subversive of the laws and rights of the Court to grant the motion. Coun- sel for the plamtiff had charged thatthe proceedings In tha State Coi Were collusive, He was # con- sider the qnestion on tie idea that he had misapplied any funds in the possession of the Court. The 6,000 snares in the hands of Mr. Coloman, the recelver of | the Court, was the only property thathad ever been under the control of Mr. Gould. Could 1t be said for @ moment that the surrender of this stock as the basis of a new tssue of new stock was an infringe- ment of property under the control of the Cuurt? He denied this, The stock was NOT DRORBASSD IN VAT It was entitled to voting power. It bad all the priv- j he should assume to be and have been in possession sons understand this to mean that the penalty of ileges and powors of legitimate stock. Its value in the gambitog operations ia the New York stock market might be impaired, but its legitimate and reai value Was not impaired, Holding property fur ny legitimate purpose to which it could be applied a8 not a contempt as Fegaras property tu the pos- session of the Court. If there was auy legulity attached to this system of legislation (he Farmers Loan and Trust Company were bound to register the stock now tu the hands of MR. COLEMAN, THE RECEIVER, and they had notice to that effect, If His Honor came to tho conciusion that there had beon @ fraudulent, wrongful interference with the property under the control of the Cours, what was the pur- ticular offence commitied—what was the wrong done? All that Mr, Gould had Gone, if he had done anything calling for attack, way to prevent the | registry of this stock, because it could not be dented | that the shares in the hands of Mr, Coleman were Valid shares, aoc that they retained all the rights incidental to validly tasued shares. The Erie Com- pany offered to register them. The other side said they would not agree to that. They sald that the Ene Company mus! go into tie market and buy 30,000 registered shares, How much aid the ab- seace of registration injure those shares? The stock was within the control of the Court. If they wanted registry ths Erie Company WAS WILLING TO GIVE IT, and if Heath and Raphael wore claiming anything conid they claim anything more paramount than the stock * To go into the market and buy a million of stovk was not an easy thing to do, and if it were Gone it would have a remarkavle efiect upon the market when Wey had that amount of valtd, genuine stock In thelr possession, What was to become of bo recelver 8 rtock if Wey did that? Was the Court o get ity ir, Southmayd—To be endorsed as the certiticates of Mr. Coteman, Mr. Beach coutinued tn some brief remarks on this aspect of the case, and closed by stating that he thought he had shown to the satisfaction of the Court that there Was no reason why it sioula grant the ahaa peremptory remedy sought against Mr. Goul Mr. Stoughion followed on the same side, observ- ing that he would discuss the aitiiude of the parties lore the Court in this controversy on this motion, ‘That subject was property in the shape of snares of stock wich fis Honor assumed and whieh | of this Court by its recetver, with power in this Court at any moment to take thei trom the reeciver into its own hand—if he might apply such a remark | t avourt—for the receiver was bu. the finger of the Court, ant deal with them as the Court sees ft for the purpose of final disposition and adjudication otthem, He contended that the imputation luog out against My.

W. M, Evarts, in the opening of his reply on the part of feat and Rapvacl, demanded a resto- ration of the stock.as it was taken from them—to restore from J, H.

FatetaiT said tt was a douvie labor to pay back, in which predicament, it appeared, Mr, Gould found himself, The continuation of Mr. Evarta’ argamont, inter. rupied by the aljournment of the Court at four o'ciock, Will be resumed this morning.

Ceaviction ef O’Kell, tho Kx-Broker—Sen- tence Postponed. At the reassembling of the Court of Oyer and Ter- minor yesterday morning, Judge Cardozo on the bench, Mr. Sullivan, Asaistant District Actorney, concinded his summing up on behalf of the Prosecution in the case of the people against O’Kell, the ex-broker charged witn being im- plicated in the Norwalk Bank robbery. The pro- longed and portions of it most conficting, teati- mony he most carefully sifted and critically ana- lyzed. He imststed that the evidence most clearly indicated that O’Kell possessed a guilty knowledge at least as to the bonds which he purchased being part proceeds of those stolen frum the Norwalk Bank. He did not press the countin the indictment as to his being implicated in the robbery. THE ClAKoR, Judge Cardozo next charged the jury. He first charged various requosts made by O’Kell’s counsel. These requests wore to the eifect that the Prosecution must prove that the larceny was com- mitted; that every fact to connect tne prlaonse With the bonds must be affirmatively proved by the prosecution eric thetany one luk want ing in the chain is fatat to ‘the Rreseestion | that if they found that the stoion bonds were in his pos session the presumpiion was that he came honesuy by them; that the prosecution must show affirma- tively that the knew the bonds were stolen; that the fatlure of the defendant to explain Dis pos- session of the bonds would not of itself jastify the my, in convicting him; that the possoset the might have been fraudulent and not grey | and that good character raised a reasonaple dou! of guilt, After dispo: of these nests he directed the jury’s attention to U in it points which must be established to tho faction of the gory. Thero wore, he told them, wiree principal pol inte which they must find to be trae upon 0 evideuce before they could — properly find a verdict of gnilly. First, thar the bonds proluced were the bonds that were stolen; second, that the defendant became sessed some of them, and third, that when he did so he knew that they bad been stolen. ‘Ibere was no dispute as to the theft. He then charged that when Deal sold the bonds to Fisk & Hatoh tor Harrington it was for them to de- cide whether he was acting for O'Kell, and, next, that they were to judge for themselves as to the degree, of oroedipility to be given to Deal's testimony. He went over the evidence, calling the attention of the jary to ity character as peprini on tho cago and the Jawa governing their verdict, He charged distinctly that they could not find him guilty of stealing the bonas, After poiuting out the weight to the questions of donbt and Good character he charged, in conciu- sion, that they could find the defendant guilty generally under the third and fourth counts, if the evidence in their view warranted such alnding. The jury were absent only about bali an hour, They announced & Voi of guilty, COUNSEL FOR O’KELL moved immediately a stay of judgment, as he wished, at some furore day, to move for suspension of Jadament and bill of excep- ons, Mr. SULLIVAN moved sentence upon the verdict. The JupGR said he would postpone the sentence till next Monday, and meantime remanded tie pri- Soner to prison, TON8S POLICE COURT, Doisg tho Pathetic—Mrs. Cuffio Swindling the Caaritabie—An Orpdauage that Does Not Exist Before Judge Hogan. Mrs. Maria Thomas 1s of the colored persuasion and very robust in person, Mrs. Maria has an in- horont disiike to hard lavor, which may come either from the pecultar formation of her mind or the pon- derosity of her body, but still it exists. On the im. pulse of this disinclination Mrs. Thomas, in a happy moment, invented a little dodge for raising the wind without giving ber too much exercise, and yet pro- Gucing satisfactory results, Mrs. Maria has indus- triously pursued this new method of hers with no ordinary assiduity for the past two years, SHE CAME TU GHIBF, however, yesterday, and tlre accidont did not seem to cause her much uneasiness. fo pursuit of hor vooation this lady was interrupted on Broadway by a policeman, who had watched her for some ume going along the street from store to store, Being in an inquiring mood and hungry for taformation the polloeman poitely inquired of the lady i she would aequaint him with the nature of hercalling. Mrs. Maita wilted immediately, and coufessed she was embarked ja @ nefarious trafic. The omcer-ro- quested an explanation of che use of a book she car- ried under her arm, and she put it before hita tor inspection. The book contained five columns of names of gentlemen and persons who had sub- scribed to THE ONPHANAQE FOR COLORED CHILDREN at Rergen, New Jersey. Amounts, varving all the way down from $25 to fifty cents, were entered, and the aggregate made up Something like $500." Tne Ppoilceman took her back tnto the last store he had seen her leave, Wheelor & Wilson's, and tol: the managing maa, Mr. Dibble, that the Woman had swindled hi, This gentleman desired the oflcer to arrest hor and bring her down to Court, and he would go with him and makeacharge. Ou the way Mr. Dibble sent word of the aifairto Mr. Danver Jones, woo had also contributed to the Orphanage, and both gentlemen appeared belore the Judge to Mrs, Maria threw herself upon the mercy of the Judge and her accusers, In a Christian spirit she acknowledged her wrong. | make a complaint asainst the woman, She was poor, very poor, but was obliged to live, and, judg. lng by appearances, she was living well, The lady gave her uame but absolutely redused to give her residence, a3 she did not wish TO PRING DISGRACE upon her family, She beseeched cach one separately long and earnestly, turning from the Couri t the accugers, and pleading most forcibly m her dos that she Knew she was wrong and telt dread fc sorry for it, Her eloquence had little or no effect, however, for the swindicd community felt grieved over the los3 of their monoy, and the Justice only saw & culprit, and & most impudent one, The result of the examination into Maria's hide commerce was that she went below to await further deyeiopments in ner case.
