How extraordinary (and O how fortunate!)the failureof theevident design of this miserable maniac, (for so he must be considered, under all circumstances.) against the life of the President! We say he is a maniac, because the act shews him to be insane, and not because any evidence of his insanity was produced on his examination ; though we have heard that he has been heretofore confined for acts of violence indicating an unsound mind. On his examination, tlie unhappy man declined making any explanation or
cross-examining the witnesses. ue
uu e heard no rational motive even con
jectured for his crime.
The. offence being a bailable one, and xccstive bail being forbidden, bail was
demanded to the amount of a thousand
dollars, for want of which the piisoner

may have heard ef him uefore. lie
was tried for the murder of his wife last year, whom he killed with a negro whin. He was a planter, and is worth
0 or 90,000 dollars, and gave Eli Hus

terday, at 3 oclork, he was set free, but tin; moment he made his appear
ance outside of ihe Court I louse, a mob,
composed of the most respectable citizens of Natchez and the surrounding country, laid hold of h;jn, took him out
to the edir. of the town, and there
tripped him. gave him one hundred
and iiUy lashes, well laid on with three
good cowhides! None but gentlemen of good standing flogged him, and after they had done so until his l.a k was cut to pieces, they got a tar barrel, warmed it, and poured it all over him, then laid about two bushels of f ather on him; after which they tnnuV him walk through all the streets in the city, followed by a drum and about 1000 penpie, with all the yells and cries of kill him, whip him again, ,!cc. All this I was an eye witness to. Whilst whipping him, some of the crowd called out for mercy, when one of our first Iawjeis rose and said "his wife called for mercy when he w as killing her, and lie did not hear her."' It was the intention of Ihe populace lo have taken him to the rivcr and put him in a canoe without oars,
carried him out into (lie middle of the riv
