A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Terrible ARRAY at sianton's
Depot Last Night. \
A Well Known ex-COnfede-
rate Oflicer Killed and q
Planter HortaIly
Wounded.

stanton's Depot, on the Memphis and
Louisville Railroad, was the scene Of q
frightful affair last night, the particulars
Of which seem to be IA follows:
Several years ago Major J. II. Hicks,
of the firm Of w. J. Hicks 4 Co, mer-
chants, at the depot, borrowed sum of
money from planter in the vicinity
named Maxwell. A portion was AFTER
ward paid, but before liauidating the en-
tire indebtedness Hicks came to the city
and went into bankruptcy. Between the
first and last causes ill.feeling grew up
between the parties. Last night Hicks
and Maxwell met near the formers store
and q violent alteration ensued, which
resulted in Maxwell drawing pistol and
shooting Hicks. The wounded man fell;
and his son John, young man, at once
procured gun aud in tsrn shot Maxwell.
Hicks died two hours afterward At mid.
night Maxwells condition was extremely
critical, and his life was despaired OF.
Major Hicks was well known as q
member of Richardson's partisan forces
during the war, and gained considerable
notoriety in different portions of West
Tennessee in that connection. For a
portion of the time he had an independ-
ent command.
The ARRAY occasioned great excite
ment in the vicinity of the depot
Since the above was written we learn
that Mr.. Maxwell died this morning.

AN INFANT. : Considerable amuse-
ment and wonder we're occasioned on
the streets yesterday afternoon by the
appearance of an individual about as
tall for bis hight as "any other man"
He measured at least seven feet, to
which stovepipe" hat of ponderous
dimensions added something less than
yard. His presence in front of stores
produced sudden emptying of inmates
on the pavement. he strobe along ma
jestically as a peak of the Alps and evil
IDENTIFY regarded with sublime disgust the
six foot Lilliputians who stretched their
necks out of joint to catch a glimpse OF
his face. Ii is understood that he was
refused registration papers yesterday on
the ground that his head is out Of the
county. The main object Of his visit
was to have a pair Of boots made over q
last improvised from a steamboat hull.
Fearing a rapid rise in the privision
market, the Mayor ordered him to leave
instanter, and at last accounts be was
making elm tracks Tor the interior.

The REGISTRATION FARcE.--The regis
tration will close to-day, yet few others
from the country than negroes have pro
cured certificates. The latter have been
rushed in by scores, while the whites
rested under the delusion that the Com
missioner intended visiting the interior
districts. Thursday the Office was kept
open hours after nightfall registering
negroes, but yesterday stopped the regis
tration of white men at pm, although
several hundred were there with proper
vouchers. From beginning to end the
registration has been sickening farce
Radical candidates engineered the entire
business; negroes from almost any quar-
ter found other negroes or white Radi-
calls to vouch for them, and we're hurried
through by hundreds. Men whose crime
is the possession of white skins and white
hearts were hampered and badgered in
every conceivable manner. No expe-
dent was omitted calculated to render
the registration process tedious and an
noying 1.-THE Radicals fail to carry the
election it will not be through any omis.
sion Of trickery and rascality on general
principles. There are at least thousand
Conservatives entitled to vote who have
not procured certificates in consequence
of the contemplate outrages practiced.
All the Radicals will be registered. Those
not yet ground through the mill will
doubtless turn up on election day with
the necessary documents. We fear that
Capt. Sears has not made very healthy
record for himself, but the worse the re-
cord the more certain his advancement
in the Radical church.

cisms, the petty on dis Of male and fs-
male sossipsi the thought Of what the
world says, is one which never suggests
itself to him as a motive Of action.
He is a worker; not one who selhshly
strives TO build up q fortune for himself
alone, but whose large heartedness
prompts him to serve his fellow men.
He realizes that the world has claims on
him, aud bis labor brings its own reward.
Yet, bis prompt energy, his keen fore
sight, his ready tact and talents make
him ever successful.
Do you think the picture over DRAWN
Il is the result, as before indicated, OF
old acquaintance; yet, being more Of q
pbysiognomist than psychologist, / see
upon first meeting him that he Is man
to be trusted. Innate purity has indexed
itself on bis countenance,a and the record
ia not .marred by anything in his pas
sions, but in my woman's love OF
strength, hold them as ennobling him
whose will is strong enough to hold
them in check; and our human symps.
thies are drawn closer to that which
bears something Of the earthly stamp.
We eau only Worship perfection--love
seeks something lower.
You think will never find my ideal.
Perhaps not indeed l have no especial
desire to do so, since in our present rela.
tons he is so agreeable companion.
he is by no means obtrusive, never inter-
feres with my own good will aud pleas
ure, nor makes himself so generally de
trop as he might upon closer acquaint-
ance. His only fault is that he is con-
stantly leading me into comparisons,
which you know are not always very
agreeable.
Now it is plain that Terrell" has
already found his ideal realized, for, ad'
mire his subterfuge as we may, we can
not but see that his is no fancy sketch.
Honest love, especially when nep, is
always proud. He "Terrell") wishes
all the world to see and admire his new
possession. congratulate him heartily,
though / cannot so we'll sympathize, he
having built his ideal from the real; yet
1 may express the hope that, should he
e nd any disappointment in the former,
be may discover new charms of mind and
heart to compensate him in the latter.
