THE PRESIDENTIAL CANVASS;
THE CONSTITUTIONALIST FOR THE
' CAMPAIGN.
The Constitutionalist will he mailed
tii clubs of five or more, from the first day
of July to the fifteenth of November next,
at the following low rates:
Daily $2 50 per copy.
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.

kept steadily in view; and their objects are:
The improvement of its members in instru
mental and vocal music, and co-operation in

Fire. —The alarm of fire last night, at bnlt

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.

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.
