S P Satterfield, who was indicted for securing the enrollment of a tabled bill the"As8ignment Act" waa found guilty last Saturday by a Wake county jury. JUDGE MCIVEB'S CHABGE. Judge Mclv6r charged the - jury, as to the first count, that they must be satisfied from the evidence be yond a reasonable doubt that the'de fendant wilfully, ' unlawfully and negligently caused or permitted the tabled bill to be enrolled; that if they should so conclude they must find him guilty on this count As to the second count, that if the jury should find, beyond a rea sonable doubt that the defendant "corruptly and fraudently" procured the bill to be enrolled they should find him gnilty on the second count.

Representative Hileman, of Cabar rus, was put on the stand by the de fense to prove the conversation be tween Smith and Satterfield at the baseball ground. The defense im proved the opportunity to prove positively by the Representative, who said that he was standing at the Speaker's desk that night ; that the "Assignment Act" was tabled on the night of March 11th, He testified that he was chairman of the Finance Committee in the House and remembered the favor able report of the "Assignment Act," The report is in his handwriting.

And he testified that Smith ac knowledged to Satterfield that he might be mistaken in bis (Smith's) statement. Dr. J A Meadowa testified that S P Satterfield was a man of good character. Smith, of Stanly, was recalled and asked if he admitted to Satterfield that be waa mistake?, He said : "I did not make any such admis sion. Tne statement is iaise. CHBISTIAK COEROBOBATES SMITH. Mr. W E Christian, the Washings ton representative of the News and Observer, was put on the Btand. He corroborated the testimony of Smith of Stanly regarding ti e conversation at tne baseball ground.

Raleigh, Jan. 14. At 3 o'clock this afternoon the judge took action in Satterfield'a case. Purnell, of bis counsel, argued that the first count of the indictment was under the common law and not under the statute; that there was nothing of mala fides, or evil intent, shown in evidence; that Satterfield was being punished for what somebody else bad done; that it waa shown Lilling' ten and not" Saterfield was in charge of bills. Purnell then asked that the verdict be eet aside; that judge ment be arrested, and that a new trial be granted. The judge denied these motions, and Purnell excepted in the case. The solicitor asked the court not to impose any imprison ment, as Satterfield had not been found guilty on the whole b:ll. Pur nell spoke in turn of high uompli ment of the solicitor for this marly and kind request, and said Pou wonld not strike ( man who was down. ' Purnell said batterneld was poor and costs were beayy and ftBked the judge tojbe lenient. Tne latter fined Satterfield $250 and costs. Satterfield appealed, tothe Supreme Court.

For eleven years our town has had a fire company consisting of a nel and hose and a track ar.d laddia a membership of about fifty members, 'twenty white and uicuiuciDf ttieufj ifuitv nun Willi lj colored. When we have frequent fires the ladders are noticed and interest in their behalf is great, but as we have been so graciously blessed by Providence thaf such few fires oc cur, little or no interest is manifest ed by the majority of the citizens and property owners. This was dis cussed at the joint meeting Monday night when it was decided by the firemen that they wonld not throw up the sponge for the present, but would give the citizens a fair trial to see their appreciation of its existence, whereupon . the election of chief officers for the ensninar year became a duty and J L Boger'a name was put in nomination for chief, Ed H Hall tor assistant chief; and Giles Miller assistant chief of the colored department; Kob.rt H White secre tary, and James R Cook, treasurer. Each name was elected unanimously. Chief Boger made a short address of encouragement to the discourag ed reel company. He stated that he would serve the department for a time, at least until he saw the at titude of the people, in regard to the welfare of the companies; that feel ing among the white company was such that it would probably disband if there ia not a change. He told of the willingness of the board of commissioners to help them, also of the board's inability to do for them what they would like to do, hut in timated that the board would do ita part if the citizens wonld c iter to a i share of the firemen' wants. Ed H Hall was called on for speech, but stated that he was like the little boy the calf ran over l e had nothing to say. James R Cook, the treasurer, was next He ;waa sorry that he bad been elected to that oihee, because he didn't like to carry a purse with nothing in it. He stated that he wished the department more success in the future than in the past, that the members of both companies were nothing bnt the working and day laboring class of citizens kand that it was other people'a property they endeavored to aave when the occat sion demand and that tin people at large would surely awaken to a sense ot duty and give them more liberal support. At the conclusion be said he hoped to meet all the firemed both white and colored, at the next fire. Chief Boger arose at this point and aBked permission to finish Mr. Cook's sentence by adding "on eaith." uuea miner, colored, spoke in behalf of the colored firemen. They were pleased with the election of the chiefs and other officers and stated that he would endeavor to have hia men always on hand when needed. We Want to be Harried."
