branches to disfranchise tho whites o che
South by keeping out their regularly and
constitutonally elected representatives.,
for that has been frequently alluded 10
heretofore. On the following day (Tues-
day. Schenck, Of Ohio, introduced joint
resolution to amend the Constitution 80 as
to apportion Representatives according to
the number Of voters of each State. Ste
vens, Of Pennsylvania, also proposed cer'
tain amendments to the Constitution, the
nature Of which we have not yet ascer-
tanned. Thua wo have had in the space
of one day and a half, FOUR distinct and
seperate propositions, in both branches OF
Congress, to amend or disrupt the Consti-
tuition. Could hostility to that sacred old
chart of Government be more clearly
shown than in this haste and anxiety to
tinker and destroy it But what else
could beexpected of these demogogues who
preached and practiced dsunion before
Southern secession was thought of or con:
templated I
In these acts wo see TO what doplora-
Bile condition the American Congress
once dignifed and patriotic--has degene
rated. View it in its most favorable as
pect and still it is nothing more than q
Negro Convention, avowedly deternined
to destroy the Constitution, to enslave and
degrade the whites and 10 thrust anss ssan
tagonistic and most degraded race into Po-
Itical supremacy. Have the people Of the
North, whom these fanatical demagogues
! misrepresent. no word of warning or con-
domination Do tho people intend to al
low them to 60 on, breeding dissention
hato, and destruction, until despotic
monarchy shall be founded upon the ruins
of the Republic Are our'people ALREADY y
subjects, instead Of citizens, that they bow
their necks and close their mouths They
0litst speak and act, and that speedily, or
the Old Constitution will be destroyed
not a vostige Of it vii! reman-apd tho
masses of white men will bo controlled by
negro votes held in the leash Of devclish
demagogues and tyrants.

Horrible Tragedy in Mississippi.

James Thompson, Of Brookesyille, on the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad last week muir
dered his mother, brother, three sisters, and
wounded another sister and his father. Some
difficulty had occurred respecting the prop
erty of the father, which the murderer had en-
deayored 10 get possession OF, and on Sunday
morning the young man visited the house with
the design of killing the whole family. He first
shot his sister Margaret, as she was in the act
Of dressing herself. She had one stocking on
and another in her hand. The shot took effect
In her right shoulder and side, nearly tearing
the arm from the body, and managing the side
most horribly. The mother was heard by her
daughter Jemima, who was up stairs. TO beg
her son most piteously not to shoot; but a Sec
ond report followed, and the mother was found
dead, shot in the right shoulder and side, on
the floor back Of the bed. The mother and this
daughter must have died instantly. The MUIR
derer then entered the room of his brother,
Clay, whom he shot in the forehead, killing
him Instantly. Clay was also heard by the
girls above stairs begging his brother not to
shoot him. The two girls MP stairs closed
and bolted their door, but the murderer as
cended the stairs and forced ii open. Jemi-
ma slipped by him, rushed down, and was on
the threshold of the door. when she was
seized by the shoulder and flung back into the
room and shot In the back of the head with q
pistol. From the direction of the fatal shot she
must have been on her knees, begging for her
life The murderer then went up stairs and
shot the last and youngest sister, named En-
ma, In the shoulder and breast. She got under
the bed, where he fired two shots at her She
abandoned tins position and placed herself be-
nlnu ftbTckD received TWO SlOtS,
one in the side and one in the left thigh. This
young girl may recover. James then left the
house and proceeded TO the river, where his
boat was moored. He met bis father and the
sheriff OF the county. He aimed deliberately
al ms father, but the cap snapped. He fired
the second barrel, but il was Knocked up by a
bystander, and passed harmlessiy over The
fathers head He then drew ais pistol an d fired
twice, one shot taking effect in the body Of the
father, who now clenched the desperate, and
after a fierce struggle he was bound.
The citizens gathered as soon the news was
spread, and were restrained with great diff
fculty from burning the assassin. He is now
