Tri-Weekly 1 75 “ Weekly 75 “ “ The canvass will undoubtedly be the fiercest and the results the most important of any that have taken place in this coun try, for the real issue is a Constitutional Form of Government or a Despotism, and every man should keep fully' conversant with the great struggle. Now is the time to form Clubs, as our rates arc put down so low that no pecuniary profit can be realized. Those wild want a sound and reliable Democratic journal for the campaign would do well tfl subscribe Immediately to the Constitutionalist. Superior Court.— June Term, Tuesday 16th.—The ease of E. M.

Musical. —The Amateur Musical Club of this city had an election for officers ou Mon day night. D. B. Plumb was elected Presi dent, John A. Bolder, Vice-President, Marion Robert, Secretary, J. A. Robert, Treasurer, and Prof. Hett, Leader. This Club enters the second year of its ex istence with increased prospects ot success and the good wishes ot our entire community. Recently there have been valuable accessions to its membership, aud we have every assu rance that in the tuture, as in the past, the ob ieet for whieh this Club was formed will be kept steadily in view; and their objects are: The improvement of its members in instru mental and vocal music, and co-operation in dhe general benevolent objects of the city. Fire. —The alarm of fire last night, at bnlt pnst nine o’clock was occasioned by the dis covery thut the stable of Mr. Jerry Sheehan — the city express mau—situated on Walker, between Jackson and Campbell streets, was on fire. Blaunerhassett Hoso Comproy being near by, soon had on a stream, and in a few minutes the flames were extinguished. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Filling Cellars.— On account of the im possibility of keeping deep cellars clear of wa ter, many owners of Broad street property are having the cellars partially filled. We notice that Mr. Mat Rice has made a very neat and satisfactory job of the cellar under the store of W. A. Ramsey & Cos. Lager. —Roppold insists that he has some very excellent lager beer. If the sample sent to ns is the kind he brags on, Rappold is right. The lager is good. Adction.—Attention is directed to the auction sale which takes place to-day at Samuel K. Dick’s. A Priest Sent to Prison.— Rev. Lambert Xoung, a Catholic priest, is in jail at Frankfort, Ky., for refusing to testily as to tacts which came within his observation while endeavoring, at the solicitation of the civil authorities, to dis suade the crowd from mob violence, when, in January last, a negro was lynched for alleged violence upon an Irish girl in that neighbor hood. He claims that, having been permitted to go into the infuriated crowd solely in defer ence to his priestly office, it would be a breach of trust for him to testify. Judge Ballard, of the United States Court, overrnted bis objec tions, and he still refusing, on the plea of con science, to answer questions, was sent to jail for contempt of court. (From the Savannah News Sc Herald. Terrible Tragedy. A MAN SHOOTS HIS WIFE FOUR TIMES AND THEN ATTEMPTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE—RUM AND JEALOUSY THE CAUSE. An Irishman, named Patrick Higgins, on yesterday, while influenced by the combined ef fects ot whisky and jealousy, attempted the lite of his wife, and then attempted to commit sui cide. Our reporter, learning of the affair, repaired to the house, corner of West Broad street and Battle Row, arriving before the woman had been removed from the floor where she fell and laid in a poo] of her blood, and witnessing the heart-rending sobs and cries of her daughters, relatives and friends, whocrowdedin the house immediately after the occurrence. Medical aid was immediately called iu and the wounds dressed. It was found that she had been wounded four times. One ball entered the left side of the lower part ot the abdomen, another in the back near Ihe spme, another in the right and another in the left arm. The affair occurred in the upper story bf the house, in their lied room, which is at the north east corner of Vi cst Broad street and Battle Row. The aceouuts are very conflicting, and we give the facts as gathered after the most careful and diligent inquiries. The cause, as stated, was rum and jealousy. From a woman named Clara Simmons, who was the only one who witnessed the affair,Jexceptiug,'of course, the husband and wife, we gathered the follow ing statement: “ This morning, Mrs. Higgins, for whom I work, called me up stairs and told me that Mr. Higgins was going to shoot her, and then said how many sings he had in his pistol. He was sitting down there, (at the same time pointing to the northwestern corner of the room,) and she standing up near the door, (at the northeastern corner of the room.) He told me to go back, and I turned around and he shot. I was so astonished I turned around again, and saw him shoot all the other limes. The first shot I didn’t see, but it. struck her in the left side, aud I timed her a little, and made her reel and nearly fall. He then shot her in the back and she fell. He then stood over her and shot her, first, in one arm, and then in the other.” From lady relatives of the sufferer, and from others, we learned that Higgins had frequently threatened to kill his wife; that about two weeks ago, when she was enciente , and left his house aud went to a neighbor's, on account of ill-treatment, he went there, and putting a pis tol to his wife’s breast, threatened to kill her, which frightened her so much that she was pre maturely delivered, the child being still-born ; that » few days afterwards he went there again and took his wife from her sick bdd, placed her in a carriage without giving her time to put on her clothes, and carried her home; that on last Saturday night lie threatened to kill her, and acted so cruelly towards her that she had to call the policeman in, who, by threatening to cairy him to the barracks, quieted him ; that after the shooting he said the reason “ 1 killed her was that she loved her daughter better than me," and “that he would kill her too,” and seuf. for her ; that he attempted to kill himself by slabbing himself in the breast, but Ihe knife was too dull; that Mrs. Higgins had once or twice recently had her husbaud arraigned for assault and battery, and for assaulting with iu tent to kill, but had afterwards declined to prosecute; that be had been drunk for several days past, and conducted himself iu a very dis orderly manner. [From the Mobile Register, 12tli. Murders in Olioctaw Oounty. BDITOU OF THIS HERAI/D ASSASSINATED COW ARIJI.Y PLOT OF TWO SCALAWAGS TU 12 V TAKB JIEFUGE WITH GUN. MEAIiE— MURDER P.V AN UNKNOWN HAND. By a gentleman just front Butler we learn that, on Tuesday last, our friend N. E. Thomas, editor of the Choctaw Herald, was murdered in a most cowardly manner By Joshua Morse, the At torney General elect to the scalawag oligarchy wbicli the so-called Congress at Washington has just voted to recognize as the lawful gov ernment, of wiiat was the State of Alabama, lie was assisted by one VVm. Gilmore, a less emi nent member ol the gang; ol renegade while men, but well enough known. Mr. Thomas lias not been backward in ex pressing his opinion ol these creatures, and it seems they took the occasion of the absence of most of his friends, on a fishing excursion, or something of the sort, to visit him at his office and provoke a difficulty. Gilmore made the commencement aud brought on an altercation, which resulted iu Thomas firing a pistol at him. Morse who had kept in the back ground, ap pears by this time to have provided liimsell with a double barrel gun, with which lie tired twice upon Thomas, lodging thirty-eight buck shot in his body, causing ids death within half an hour. Both tiie assassins immediately fled, and it is understood that they have made their way to Atlanta, lo shelter themselves under the protection ol Gen. Meade from the vengeance of the people of Butler, among whom and throughout the neighborhood, where Mr. Thom as, being highly and deservedly esteemed, there Is much excitement. We also learn that Mr. Pierce, overseer of the plantation ot Mrs. McCormick, formerly Mis. Lewis, was found dead on the road, having been shot ancl his htad shockingly beaten with a club. No trace of his murderer lias been found, but public opinion connects the deed with a difficulty he recently had with a man named Davis. The Georgia Railroads. —-The following statement, which we lake from the Macon Journal § Messenger, shows the skill and fore sight witti which the managers of the Central Savannah Railroad are pushing their Western connections and influence: Reports were plentiful on the street, yester day afternoon, that the Central Railroad had submitted a proposition to the Muscogee to ieasa it for ninety-nine years, guaranteeing eight per cent, annual dividend upon the stock. It is not known what, if any, answer has been returned, Imt it is presumed this most liberal offer will he accepted. The stock at once rose from sixty to seventy-five cents in our market, nod if tlie reports prove to be true, and the two lines are merged, it will go to par or to one hundred and twelve as soon as consummated, for mere will be no difference really between the two roads. in this important move, it is the design of the Central to push ils line to the eastern boun dary line of Alabama, and thus bid for the transportation of the cotton crop of the valley of the Chattahooche. Nor is this all; the road is making important negotiations with railroads west of Columbus, which look to llte turning of the cotton crop of Middle Alabama through Georgia and giving it an outlet, to Savannah, and to ilie transport ion New York goods de designed for the interior of that State, the same wav- The Central has its line of steamers running out of New York to Savannah, and the grand idea now is to extend it really to Columbus, and practically to Montgomery, Selina a»d Meridian. The idea is not anew one. It has been urged upon the directors of Ihe Muscogee for years, but, for oue reason and another re fused. It the union takes place the Muscogee will become a part of the Central, and instead of its being in a manner of no account to stock holders, it will be among the first roads iu Georgia. Another Attempted Suicide—A Woman Tries to Drown Herself off the Battery. Yesterday morning, ahont half-past 9 o’clock, a white woman, r.amed Bridget Haney, went to the Battery steps at the foot of King street aud deliberately walked overboard. The tide was low at the time, and the water at that point scarcely two feet deep. This Aid not. deter her from the purpose of self-destrnptioc, apd she laid down when about midway between the Battery and Moreland’s wharf. Two colored men, named Wm. Holmes and Jas. Mitchell, fortunately noticed her condition, and, wading in eoon placed her once more on terra fir nut. She was taken to the guardhouse on a cart, and Dr Yates being summoned, returned her to consciousness. She refused to give any reason for her conduct, and was sent to the Hampstead Hospital.— Charleston News, 1 6th. Another Good Old Man Gone. —John P. Eve, one ot the oldest and best citizens of this couuty, died at hia residence, near Eve’s Sta tion, ou Friday, the 112th inst. He was a man of great industry and energy, scrupulously pre cise in all business transactions, a practical Christian, and in efery way a good citizen. We suppose his age to be not far from seventy years. —Rome Courier. The trial ot Mrs. Victor, for the murder of her brother about a year ago, has commenced at Cleveland, Ohio. The jfrisoner had an in surance policy on the life of her brother for $3,600. Eleven months after his death the body was exhumed, and a large quantity pf arsenic found in the stomach. BY TELEGRAPH.
