death Of Col. Waller Goodman.

We learn from the New York
News Of the Esd ult., that Col. Wal
ter Goodman. senior partner III the
house of Goodman & Merrill, breath
ed his last in that city about the Goth
ultiniO, at the residence of his BROTH
er-in-law, DR.. A. r. Merrill. Abscess
of the liver having been the cause of
his death, so poignant had his suffer
ingssbecome that.the watchers by his
bedside accepted the blow which re-
moved him beyond all human pain
as an Intervention Of mercy.
Col. Goodman was well advanced
in life. A native Of New York, he
emigrated in the flower of his youth
to Mississippi. AS a bank officer, in
the, days of the banking system, he
maintained high character for in
tegrlty. Subsequently he was select
ed for the management of the large
landed interests held in Mississippi
by the American Land Company, a
proprietary of capitalists for that
section, In the extensive transac-
tons incident to that service, Col.
Goodman became acquainted with
a great number of planters who now
constitute the old settlers of Missis-
sippi, and while discharging his du-
ties all the more effectively, won their
esteem by his kindly and straight
forward dealing.
Walter Goodman was one of the
earliest promoters of the great rail
road which connects Jackson with
the North west-the Mississippi Cen
trail. Public confidence in his integ-
rity selected him for the management
of the affairs of that enterprise; and
he was appointed on the organization
of the company as its PRESIDENT
Though embarrassed in the fnancier-
ing of the road by the unpopIlarity

securities, he nevertheless succeeded
in meeting all demands for its con
struction. After the completion of
that great work, he continued at its
head until his removal to this city.
He was truly an honest. and kindly
man, good citizen, who, in his day,
has been of service to his State. lie

the N. o. Times of the 2Stll, that Col.
j. o. Nixon had received a special
pardon from President Johnson, and
now have the pleasure of making a
similar announcement in the case of
Mayor Monroe. 1t was fortunate in

charge trumped up against him could
be disproved at Washington by the
high authority of PersoAswho were
personally interested: We refer, of
course, to Commodore Bailey and

timony settled the case at once.

The CANrATA.-Never was the

LIE OANIAIA.-N6Ner Was the
courtroom more densely crowded
B than on the evening of the first OF
: May, the occasion of the Coronation
of the Rose" Cantata. Old and
II young-maid and matrop, man and
bOy--of town and from country, came
! in, until not a seat was to be had,
and many had to stand throughout
the evenings entertainment. 1--WE
noticed, however, that as many as
could took seats in the windows,
much to the discomfort of the audi
ence. In crowded assemblies of this
kind, every avenue for the admission
of fresh air should be left entirely
unobstructed.) . o.
The preparations, the surround
ings to "lend enchantment to the
<view," were gotten up in that ele-
giant and graceful style for which the
ladies of Canton are so famous. The
stage was beautifully decorated with
evergreens and flowers, and the little
girls and young ladies acted their
parts to perfection. 1% a.
We know it is not in very good
taste to make distinctions, but we
trust we may be pardoned for saying
that the most pleasing as well as
striking characters, were the 'Tulip,'
by little Miss Morey, and the 'Touch-
me-not,' by the juvenile Miss Uar-
vPy. ..
The most prominent feature Of the
evening, the browning of the Queen,
was most gracefully performed by
Miss Ellen Handy, Miss Dudley be-
ing the happy recipient Of the coro-
MAJ Prot. Brown presided at the
Piano with his usual ease and skill,
Capt. Hal. Dudley performed his
role creditably, and Mr.. viii. Cham
bcrs added much to the pleasures of
the evening by showing the ladies
to their seats, and rendering every
service in his power.
The entertainment was given for
the benefit of the Presbyterian
Church, and we doubt not the ex-
pcctations Of the most sanguine were
fully realized, as the receipts of the
evening must have been quite hand
some. We hope they may soon find
themselves with funds in hands suf-
licient, not only to begin, but to COM
plete the repairs on their house of
worship.
The performances were repeated
last evening; with what success we
cannot say, not having been present.
