Argument on tho motion for a chan ?re of venue in the caso of Janiea IL Till" man, indicted for tho murder of N. G. Gonzales, was concluded ot 5 o'clock last Wedne?day afternoon, and Judge Townsend at once announced lite decis ion that thu chango should be grant ed. Counsel disagreed concerniug tue county where tho caso ahould be sent, and after sleeping over tho matter, Judge Townsend auuounced that he had choseuLexington. + Wednesday's proceedings opened with the argument of Mr. Andrew Crawford, for the prosecution, against the motion. Ho spoke for an hour and a half, and his presentation of the law was highly complimented. He was followed by Mr. P. H. Nelson, for the defence, who also devoted himself largely to the law of the case. ?fr. G. Duncan Bellinger, formerly attorney Suerai, next addressed tho court for e prosecution, first answering the arguments on the other hide. Solicitor Thurmond dosed for the prosecution in a clear-cut speech. The sensation of tho dav followed, when ex-Judge 0. W. Buchanan, the defendant's brother-in-law, addressed the court. It was not thought that Jud go Bu cha? an would speak, espec ially as the defence had left only about fifty minntes of the time allotted that, side, which, it was presumed, would be occupied by Congressman George W. Croft. Tillman's law partner. But Judge Buchanan spoke xor thirty min utes and delivered a bitter arraignment of the press, the commercial interests oud the peoplo of Columbia generally. He asserted that commercialism had .supplanted the old southern standards, and that the press was now at liberty tc abuse and villify any mnn who spoke his honest convictions. He charged that the State had goaded the defendant to desperation by ?B abuse of him, and said the State had now cracked its whip and lashed tho citi zens of Columbia into signing aflldavits for the prosecution under tear of the State's power. He charged that the capitalist interest and the press were allied, and that men had been intimi dated into signing thoso affidavits, lest their position or their business be in jured. "By grabs," exclaimed Judge Buchanan, "if thev don't like this let them lum? it" Judge Townsend interrupted the speaker to say that he was consuming tho time of the defence and leaving none for Mr. Croft. Mr. Buehanan then took his seat and court adjourned for dinner, with fifteen minutes remaining of the allot ted time. This was extend**! and Mr. Croft closed the argument, after din ner, in a strong speech of about twenty minutes. At the close the court announced its decision to grant the motion and asked counsel for suggestions concerning the place to which the case should be transferred. Mr. Croft suggested Saluda, but to this Solicitor Thur mond objected on the ground that Sa luda court house is fourteen miles from the railroad and accommodations are too meagre to entertain the- two hundred witnesses who would have to ! he transported there. Mr. Crawford also spoke in objection to Saluda, saying that the defendant's futf1 T, the la> Congressman George D. ?Jiman, was the father of Saluda county and that until recent years Sa luda waa a part of Edgefleld, the de fendant's home. Mr. Nelson spoke strongly in favor of sending the caso to Saluda, alleging that the defendant was entitled to a speedy trial and this could not be had unless it was sent to either Salada or Edgefleld. as court fer this tenu has been held in other counties of this cir cuit. Mr. Bellinger replied to the remarks of Messrs. Croft and Nelson with much vigor, asserting that to transfer the case to Saluda would be unwise and unjust to the prosecution as well as inconvenient. He said that the defen dant had waived his right po a speedy trial by asking for a continuance at the last term of court, when the prose cution was anxious to proceed. Tb ?re were several lively tilts between Messrs. Nelson and Bellinger. . Mt. Croft closed the argument as serting that there were ample accom modation at Saluda and that it is not a Tillman stronghold. Judge Town send then instructed the attorneys to draw up an order for a change of venue and leave the county blank. Three Are Lynched By Hob. Albany, Ga., June 26.-Newtons tte county seat of Albany, was the scene of a triple lynohing last night. Three negroes, Wiley Anette, Gar field MoCoy and George McKinney, ?barged with tba murder of Mr. A. S. (ullard, on the 20th instant, were tak en from tho jail in Newton and hung to a tree less than a mile away. About 12 o'olook last night Jailor Bill Screws was called tip by a bailiff from one of the outlying districts of the county, who said that he had a prisoner to put in jail. * Jailor Screws left his home and ac companied the bailiff to the jail some distance away. He noticed that the bailiff had no prisoner and asked where his prisoner was. The bailiff said that he had left tho prisoner in nhargo of a friend at the jail. On reaching the jail Jailor Screws opened the outer door of the jail and as he did so an armed mob closed quiokly about him, a pistol was thrust in his face and he was commanded to open the door to the cell containing fha three prisoners. Under pressure, the jailor obeyed tho oommauds. The three negroes were taken by the mob and hanged on v ho *ume tree less'than a mile away from the jail. The crime WT I h which the three ne groes were charged was an ugly one. On last Saturday night a large crowd of negroes gathered/on the farm of Mr. F. S. Bullard, near Poaoe, Ga., to indulge in a frolic given by one of Ballard's farm hands. The three ne groes from Miller county wero in the crowd, which, many of whom being drunk, soon started trouble. Their host oould not Veep Chem quiet and Mr. Bullard went to the house and commanded quiet. Anette McCoy and Mc Ki mic/ drew their revolvers and opened fire'on Bullard, inflicting wounds from which he died Tuesday morning. It was proved that McKinney fired ?u? ?h?L tani killed Sir. Buliard.
