Assassination of Col. Geo. " Moody, OF
Port Gibson.

A private dispatch received in Jack
son, Mississippi a few days since, an
noanced that Colonel George v Moody,
of Port Gibson, was assassinated on
Saturday night at his home in Port Glib
son. 1t appears that he wassitting in
his office alone at about 10 O. clock at
night, when he was fred upon from
window, nineteen buckshot entering his
head aud neck, killing him instantly At
the time the dispatch left Port Gibson,
there was no suspicion as to who was
guilty Of the strocious murder, and the
horrible affair remained a mystery Col.
Moody was an able lawyer and cour-
teous gentleman. His death will be de-
plored by a large circle of friends and
acquaintances. He was brave officer,
having served with distinction through
the whole of the late war. He escaped
death on the battlefield to meet it at the
hands of a cJwardly assassin. Col.
Moody was delegate from this State to
the Philadelphia Convention, and passed
through here few weeks since on his
return home. Mrs. Moody accompanied
him North, and we learn is now in New
York, and was to leave that city in few
days TO rejoin her husband at Port Glib

until the organization OF an army Of ma
tives, which is now carried on with great
energy by Macmillan, be completed.
She is also represented as having de-
manded an extension of time for the
payment Of the interest due on Mexican
bonds, and as having applied to several
capitalists for the relief of the Mexican
finances. But, as have said, nothing
is. positively known as to the nature and
results of her visit to the Emperor, ex-
cept those general surmises which origi.
nate in the well known precarious condi-
tion of Mexican affairs, and in the ne
cessities of the shaky Mexican empire.
1t would seem, however (please mark
that speak only from appearances), as
if the Empress, although having sue
ceeded in carrying few unimportant
concessions, had failed in her mission.
According to story afoat, which give
for what it is WORTH she is not to receive
any assistance from France unless
she obtains beforehand the consent of
the American people; that she would
then visit in that view and to whom she
would explain the real condition Of af-
fairs in Mexico The Empress Carlotta
is "a good public speaker, as she has
abundantly proved in Yucatan and else
where, and as her grandfather, ex.King
Louis Philippe, has been, ! believe, a
teacher in the United States, she would
avail herself of that fortunate remipis-
cence to make an appeal to the good
sense and generosity Of the great Ameri-
can Republic. The general impression
in official circles is that her presence in
New York and in Washington, where
Maximilian has been and is still SO
poorly represented, would modify the
sentiments of the nation and interest it
in canse, which, in the estimation Of a
great majority, is the cause Of progress
and civilization. Parts correspondence

The Franchise Act,

The indifference, and consequent igno-
rance of the people in regard TO the pro-
visions of the statute is something re-
markable. At least until very lately
perhaps the majority of them rested easy
under the impression that all who held
certificates under the former act would
continue to vote. Even now the general
impression prevails, that the act will ex-
pire by its own limitation in five years.
These are mischievous errors that
should be promptly corrected by all who
happen to be better informed The GER
tifcates under the act of last year are
declared null and void by the act Of this
year. The disfraifchisement Of more
than three. fourh- of the citizens is per-
petual Those " uo cannot obtain GER
tfcate day are denied the privilege OF
voting during their natural lives. The
former acts accorded the franchise TO all
who should come of age after its passage;
the latter does not, but DISTINGUISHES
those who are now infants, and even
those yet unborn, who may have the
misfortune to draw their first breath in
Tennessee.
The authors of tie law forgot one
thing, however. When the present gen.
Grafton of "loyals shall all be dead,
land it is to be expected that all who
escape assassination and hanging will
die at some time), there will be nobody
to vote, and the government of Tennes-
see must come to an end In the No
vember session they should supply this
omission, and pass an act to vest the
franchise in their heirs male - Nash

of the assassination of the President at
Baltimore. Shame, shame. Well, on
a previous occasion on the passage ot
the late President to his Inauguration, ]
sent son of mine to look after his
safety. On this occasion went myself,
and what do you think / found in Balti-
more? Why, the President found that
it was just as much as he could do with
the help of Gen. McCallum, who has
charge of the road there, to get through
and keep up to time, aud as to enemies
there was nothing but friends. Then we
came to Philadelphia, the only city
which asked whether we would have a
formal or an informal reception. | an
swered lust as they pleased" +" And
when we got there we found the city dis
organized and ungoverned-no mayor,
no city authorities, no police-but we
found the city so loyal, so peaceful, so
jealous in the cause of the national re-
storation and of reconciliation, that
every man was a law unto himself, and |
said to myself, BLESSED is that city that
can dispense without ruler Cheers.
| was reminded on that occasion of a
verse of the celebrated John Milton:
"Now let us sing long live the king.
And Gilpin long live he;
And when he next doth ride again.
May be there to see"
! thought that it would be good sense,
if not rhyme, to alter it so that it might
read:
Long live my frienl McMichael.
And the President, long live he;
And when we next do ride again.
May he be there to see."

A Remarkable Man.

Physically as we'll as mentally, says
the Louisville Courier, President John
son is most remarkable man. he has
now been absent from Washington more
than two weeks, travelling far enough
daily to fatigue the strongest frame,
making epeeches every hour or two,
meeting thousands of people and shak-
ing hands with so many that it is q won

A French tourist thus describes his in.

ward me, knitting his eyebrows. He
had on an enormous -straw hat, which
concealed his features Looking under
it, | perceived soft beardless face,
Drowned by the sun, and lighted up by
two moderate sized chestnut colored
oyes. The smallness of her nose, pinched
at the nostri with transparent cartilage,
exaggerated the dimensions of large
mouth showing two rows Of superb teeth
Long hair, which was light in color,
flowed from under her large peasant hat
upon broad shoulders in great negligence
Who are you? Where do you come
from, and what do you want " said she
to me sharply She stopped in front of
me after turning up the tails of her blue
linen frock, and thrusting her hands in
the pockets of a pair of grey-rbbed vel
vet pants | had been struck with the
minuteness of those hands, and looked
at her feet, which were equally microsco-
pic, in spite of their thick covering Of
calfskin undres ed, with pegged soles.
This Cesar-like apostrophe disconcer-
ted me little, but recovering my cool
ness answered:
II am journalist, and wish to see
Miss Bonheur"
Well, look al her, said the little
peasant taking of her head-gear.

not aburn, but white. / -", likewise,
