IFrsm the Memphis Avalanche,

During the war petty officer in the
Federal army became smitten with the
charms of the wife Of worthy, indus
trious Southern man, who was, soon
afterward taken, out of his house at
dead of night by Federal soldiers and
shot. 1t was suspected that the officer
instigated the deed, which rendered the
wife widow and two children orphans,
but there was no proof of it and after a
time suspicion died out. In the course
of few months he became very atten-
tive to-the widow and pressed his suit
SO that after time she married him. A
child was born of this second marriage,
and the family lived happily until about
ten months ago, when strange girl
from Illinois came to the house and re-
presented herself as the cousin of the
husband, q relationship that he admit
ted. This girl was very pretty, sly and
artful, aid the husband paid great
attention to her. He walked to
church with her, he took her out riding,
and he made costly presents to her.
This caused no suspicion, as the cousin
ship accounted for it. The husband
carried on an extensive business, EN-
ployinga number of hands, and had
such credit that he went in debt TO
everybody. He turned all his wife's
property into cash, and pocketed it,.
He got his wife's relations to become his
bondsmen to considerable amounts, and,
having secured all the money he could,
he, few days since, left for parts
unknown. On the day before be left
the cousin went out to do shopping,
and didn't return. 1t was undoubtedly
arranged between her and the guilty
husband that they should meet at some
designated point and 60 off together.
The wife, who is a most worthy woman,
is in extreme distress, and has three
children to care for. Such cases as this
are rare in this section. The guilty
parties in this instance both came from

The Constitutional Convention reassembled
at noon to-day Mr.. Dunning stated that as
Mr.. Blodgett had been elected temporary
chairman yesterday, and was not then pres
ent, he would now vacate the chair in favor of
that gentleman. No objections were made
and Mr.. Blodgett took his place as chairman,
and read long address, evidently prepared
with the expecta ton of being President. A
resolution requiring candidates for the Presi-
dency of the Convention to state their views
on the relief bill was laid on the liable. The
Convention then proceeded to the election of
President UiUa ooce, which resulted as fol
lows:-J. r.. PARROT, Of Barlow, 1O3; Mr.. Dun
ming, 46; Mr.. Ewin, q The election is regard
ed as a triumph for the more conservative
wing. Mr. PARROT, in his address, said that
above all things the Convention should do
nothing to throw additional obstacles in The
path of the Republican party or put weapons
in the hands of their enemies. The address
was partizan in its tone but not ultra. z. Nj.
Shelly, a member of the Loyal League, was
elected Secretary over A. Goskil, and A. Il.
Marshall, of Monroe, Assistant Secretary.
Pending the election for President an outside
negro attempted to vote in place of an absent
member. He was discovered, brought to the
bar and put out as an intruder. The Conven-
ton adjourned until 10 o'clock Tomorrow
