Mor gan was left in charge of ex-sheriff Hasty and was not imprisoned. A warrant was served on Hartsell and he was committed to jail to await a preliminary examination. This was to have been held yesterday, but up on the affidavit of the prosecutor, that on account of the absence of import ant witnesses, he was not ready for trial a continuance was granted until to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock and Hartsell was allowed bail upon giving a justified bond for his appearance. The warrant charges them with larce ny, but the prosecutor desired that a nol pros be entered as to Mrs. Morgan, his wife. Mr. Ezzell arrived at Chattanooga on Tuesday night, the 10th inst., and during the night found out that they were or had been in that vicinity. By nine o’clock next morning, he knew where they were and made arrange ment to arrest them which was done about 12 o’clock. Hartsell was sick and not able to be up, and is still rather feeble. They were arraigned be fore a magistrate but the case was continued until the 18th, to fpve the prosecutor time to get a requisition to bring them back to this place. Since the above was written a com promise has been agreed on between Mr. Morgan and Hartsell, the latter agreeing to leave and remain out of the State, and Mrs. Morgan has re turned to her home with her husband, they agreeing to bury all discordant feelings, and to endeavor to live hap pily together. Mr. Jlorgan’s devotion to his wife is tiugularly striking, and we learn that ho attaches no blame to her, whatever, for her recent action, but says Hartsell had such au influ ence over her that she was powerless in his hands and completely under his control. No doubt it was through the persistent solicitation of his wife that 3Ir. Morgan agreed to let Hart- sell off so lightly, as we learn that she had remarked a day or two ago that she would not go back home unless Hartsell was allowed to go unpunish ed. This little escapade of hers has cost her husband but little less than a thousand dollars. Tho Annual Commencement exer cises of Monroe Higii School for 1881, began on last Monday night, and will be concluded with a Reception Party to-morrow night. Ou Monday and Tuesday nights, the excrerses consisted of declaimi- tions and compositions, which, gener ally, were very good. Most of the compositions were very vvel! compos ed, and a few were .veil read. Some of the little boys delivered their speechei in a wide-awake, bovish manner, mat won for them the appro bation of tbs entire audience; some of the older ones, also, acquitted them selves very creditably, indeed. The original speeches delivered by Messrs T. J. Jerome, Frank Price, and "M'm. Benton were very interesting, instruc tive, and well delivered.
