W. take the following particulars
Of the assassination Of Capt. W. w.
Davidson, from the Araianehc OF
Sunday Last. Capt. Davidson WINS
we'll known 10 many OF our citizens,
and was universally esteemed by aIl
who knew him.
On Friday night, by the midnight
train, Captain w. W. Dayidson-
who Il well known "a the book keep
or Of Mcssrs. Mitchell 4 Hoffman,
Of Main street, between Madison
and Monroc--left to visit his wife
and three children, who resided
near Pocahontas, on the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad. Ycster-
day morning the above firm received
n dispatch stating that he had been
assassinated. We learn from one Of
the firm that he would leave the
train about six o'clock in the morn
ing, then have about half n mile to
, walk, and il il presumed that II was
during that walk that the assassin
: completed his bloody work. II was
! rumored that he had been killed to
0 rob him Of money taken with him,
. But he had no important amount Of
I money with him.
Since writing the above, We have
{ been kindly put in possession Of IN
d telligence from Pocahontas by which
we learn that the denot at Poeahon'
tas is half a mile beyond the spo'
d where Mr.. Davidson leaves the roat
10 20 to his own house. When thu
train passed that spot, the conductor
= observed Mr.. Davidson throw gu
. some things, evidently intending t.
take them up on walking back from
Z the depot, which spot was reached
. about half past six o'clock. Thi

70 of Mr.. Davidson, to insult hn wife
I, For this act Mr.. Davidson ha'
<, threatened punishment in case an.

The Negro In Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 15.-The Su-
preme Court of Georgia, to-day rcn-
dered q decision that the negro Is
eligible to Office. Judge Brown and
Mccoy being In favor, and Judge
Warren dissenting. Judge Mccoy
held that the State was without n
civil government before the conven-
ton hat made the present consti-
tuition, that the blacks and whites
participated in getting up the con-
vention and framing the constitu-
ton, and that II was against its spirit
to exclude blacks or whites from tho
privileges. unless expressly pro-
hibited.
Judge Brown claims that the
Fourteenth Amendment forbids any
body being deprived of its privileges
and NJ tho Code gives citizens ths
right TO hold Office, aud the eonssi'
tuition makes him a citizen, and doc
not forbid him to hold Office, Il wa,
no, the intention Of the law to breal
the Fourteenth Amendment ant
deprive the negro Of his rights.
Judge Warren held that the negrs
was a new political creation in tn
body polite: that he must hold ofic'
by special enactment; that the God
which defines the poweso Of csiisen
was enacted before the negro becam
a citizen. and therefore Il did no
apply to him. That he did not hav
the right to hold Office under tn
common law, nor by statute sine
he was madea citizen, but the con
venticn voted down the propzitio
to make him eligible to Office, an
that until he was especially autho1
lied to hold Office, he was ineligibl
