Franxrort, Oct. 31, 1849. Me Artic'e on the Court of Appeals—The Vote by Ballot—The Rura! Cemetery—Mr. Clay—Visit of a Cwcus Co., §e. The convention have, this day, after a discussion of nearly three weeks duration, got out of commit- tee of the whole on an article in relation to the Court Of Appeals. And yet, after the almost innumerable Propositions to amend, and never-ending discus- mon, the article has not been changed from what it was when first reported by the committee to whom the subject was referred. I have hereto- re given you the report. You are aware, undoubtedly, that under the pre- pent constitution of Kentucky the mode of voting is by viva voce. The committee on the Court of Appeals, in the article reported by them, to which Thave just referred, propose to adopt the ballot system, so far as the election of judges is concern- ed. To this I have no idea that the convention aleoomany and I expect to listen to a formidable ussion of the principle to-morrow or next day. We had a slight toretaste of it to-day. Mr. Bu.tarr, opposed the ballot, as tending to induce the » people, to resort to @ deceit and dissimulation, highly derogatory to the Kentucky character for frankness and independence. No man should be afraid to come up boldly and fearlessly to the polls. and, with- out fear or favor. openly express, in the exercise of his wight to the eleotive franchise, his political or personal Preference. The ballot Mr. Builitt characterized asa encaking, cowardly. “sheep killing dog,’’ free State me- thed of voting, to which he desired never te see the free and independent Kentuckian resort. Under the over of its concealment he apprehended the emanci- pationirts would endeavor to carry out those schemes which public opinion as bronght to bear in the pre- gent mode of yotiug, now restrained them from at- y. sooner than adopt it, he would preter that the power of appointment to office, much ‘as he derired that it should be returned to the people, should be vested ip the (iovernor, the Legislature, or the Prince of Darkness himself. r And here permit me to call your attention to one fact. You will see, from this speech, that the sla- very question is the all-absorbing one in the mind of every member in the convention, and that such is their jealousy and opposition to every measure that even bas the appearance of, or can be tortured into the appearance of, a yielding to the feeling of emancipation, that it leads them to a distrust of, and sition to, avything that looks like an in- soveden upon their established custom. ‘Mr. W. C. Mansnatz sustained the position assamed same train of a its wi Jost peaking of the influence exerted by the land- Jord over his tenant, through th em of vin characterized it as ost wholesom one, which ought not to be destroyed. Col. Paxstos, of Louisville-—who is the originator of the ballot proposition in the convention —reptied, in defence of the ystem, ins most eloquent and forcible ‘train cf remarks. Keferring to the remark of Mr Mar- shall, in reference to the influence of the landlord avd ly demonstrated it to be the idea lish aristocracy in maintain in that land, by the relation of uisbed Philad the tenant. he »; which infin the astonished nobleman replied —“My tenantry might vote against him!” « Yes, the reply, “that the intention of the Dallot, to secure them in the exercise of rivilege, Mf they desireit, without fear of perseeution oF molesta tion.? “Ob,” sid be, “1 ver go for that—it will never do.” Col, Preston pointed out the practical evils of voce system; the manner in which voters the poll and its inconven large number of candi datas were to be And #0 far, he said, from Det mancipation movement, It was one of the car- @inel measures of retorm advanced by the great ultra ery convention which assembied in Frankfort ebruary las as also opposed to the introduction of Ben.

This argel showing the necessity of the the ballot. od GuTunre sustained the mainly on the arguments which bave justaived the system wherever it has ‘and ail concentrated in the great princi- ple of shielding the poor and the hu the exercise of the right of suff; eo and perse- ution of the po thy. a There was no vote taken which could be coasi dered as indicative of the sense of the convention on the principle, although the expression was de- cidedly against the aduption of the ballot. The question will come up again, when the vote is to be taken on agreeing withthe committee of the whole in their report. Thear that the committee on slavery are likely to report a clause, prohibiting the immigration of free negroes to the State, on the penalty of being sold into bondage. The adoption of this, and the provision thatno man shall be allowed to emanci pate his slaves without first making provision for their removal from the State, will most eflectually prevent the future increase of that class of the po- ie. And for this the abolition fanatics of the orth have also to thank themselves, and their un- censing assaults on the slave States and their nights of property. ‘he Circuit Court system comes up next for con- Ballot, relyi ériumpbant; sideration, and will probably be taken up before | the article in relation to the Court of Appeals is final! Capest of, with & view tothe harmonious blending of the system ae Every day affords evidences of a determination on the par those opposed to constitutional re- form—the office holders and their sympathisers—to deteat, if possible, the new constitution before the people. The lout echeme I have beard proposed 1s to create an impression that the instrument will be a party one, and thereby array the political ES judices ot the people, predominatingly whig, against it. To the attainment of this end no stone will be left unturned. One can hardly be sur- eed that those now in the enjoyment of office, olding, as most of them do, under life terms, should object to being thus rudely disturbed in their quiet feeding at the public erib. This sur- prise is not increased at all, in view of the asser- tion by Mr. R. N. Wicklifle, that it was so noto- novus and so well understood as to be no longer a matter of reproach io Kentucky, that all the offices the State were the subject of vargain and sale. It is but rearenable (o supposed that purchasers would desire to have the full benefit of their bar- ine. The weather here has been, and is, at this pre- gent writing, of the most delightful character. Liule or no frost has visited this region as yet. As this is one of the finest sections of country in the country, it presents many an interesting scene | fora ride or aramble. A stroll to the beautiful rurel cemetery of the town is one of the most at- | tractive that 1 have met with anywhere. The cemetery is beautitully located upon the table-land summit of a tall and precipitous cliff, whieh forms the bank of the Kentucky river, and from which a commanding view is obtained of the country around. Along the face of this hilla gradually ascending pathway, wide enough for two persons to walk obreast, has been excavated with the beel- trug, croggy projections abeve it, the shrub and | wood-clad presijee below, at the foot of which the dark and slogvish stream of the Kentucky river rolls along. The walk combines all that is ro- mantic, with much that is calculated to excite at least emotions of apprehension in the breasts of the timid. Ilere and there, rough and rade stairways are cut out of the rock as the ascent becomes more | Precipitous, and a cool and sparkling spring that | a out from the rocks on the hall fades, tempts | lounger to slake his thirst in its erystal waters. | ‘This is the most attractive route to the cemetery | for pedestrians; but there isan easy and pleasant | access to it over a fine road for those whe preter it, and for venicles | je cemetery grounds are not very extensive, but are most tastefully laid out, and beautified with | flowers and shrubbery. But it is the charmung prospect offered to the gaze of the visiter, as he | seats himeelf on the banks, beneath the wide- spread branches of the fine old trees, that is the | most attractive feature of the spot. Below you the aggregation of res and dumes, white and red houses, blending with, and contrasting their bright colors with the still brighter tints of the folinged trees and shrubbery that forms the city of Fraok- fort, A gap or opening among the tall hills, that limit the view in every direction, jnet discloses a vieta ef highly cultivated bottom land, through the Kentucky river slowly ste way tothe embrace of the Ohio. In the cemetery he buried the remains of Clay, MeKee, Hardin, and others of Kentocky’s gallant dead.

The State of Kentucky, with that elevated patnotiem which has ever distinguished her, has d the sum ot $15,000 for the erection of an riate and elegant monument in testimony of the galluntry, daring, and valor of her chivalrous sons, who fell im the wars of her country. Itisto be an obelisk, sixty feetia length, and to be twenty feet square at the base, and to be constructed of the finest Italian marble. On the tides of the monument are to be inseribed the names of the several battles in which those citi- zens, Whose memories it is designed to commnemo rate, were slain. These are Blue Licks, Tippe- canoe, Raisin, Thames, New Orleans, Monterey, Cerro Gordo, and the other battles in Mexico. Robert E. Lauritz is the architect, and the work, I understand, is being executed in the city of New York. ‘When one reflects on the treatment of the gal. Jant volunteers who went from the State of Ne: York, and maintained the reputation of their State on the bloody battle. fields of Mexico, and compares it with the action of the State of Kentucky, ia re- ference to her brave sons, the contrast is enough to cause a New Yorker to hang his head in shame. There are many beautiful tombs scattered around the cemetery ; and one very beautiful mound was pointed out to me, as intended for the last resting place of Mr. Clay. | Mr. Clay made his first appearance in the con- vention to-day, and was received with all the ho- nore due his exalted station before his countrymen. Je is looking in excellent health and spirits, and appeared to enjoy the debate very much.

The company have done very well. At Lexington, they played to full one thousand people at one exhibition. They go fiom here South. Simon. Our St. Louis Correspendence, Sr. Louis, Mo., Oct. 30, 1349. Auful Tragedy—Five Men Shot—Supposed In- sanity of the Perpetrator, §c., $c. One of the most fearful tragedies that has ever been enacted in eur city took place last night, be- tween eleven and twelve o’clock, at Barnum’s City Hotel. Asall of our city papers give dufferent, and im many respects erroneous, statements of the aflair, 1 have concluded to give you as correct a version of it as 1 have been able te obtain. ‘Two or three days since, two young Frenchmen, calling themselves Counts Reynard and Gonzales de Montesquiz, brothers, arrived in the evening sth from Alton, and took lodgings at the City Jotel, kept by Mr. Theron Barnum. They repre- sented that they were recently from Chicago, and were on a trp of pleasure and hunting in the West. Nothing peculiar was observed in their deport- ment, ae they elicited little attention. Last night, however, as Mr. T. K. Barnum, a nephew oi the proprietor of the hotel, and Mr. J. J. Macomber, the steward of the house, were re- tiring to rest, a sigs tap was heard on their cham- ber window, which looks out on a long gallery, in the rear of the third stery. Mr. Barnum went to the window, and raised the curtain, when Mr. Macomber, who stood behind him, observed a man on the outside, with a double barrelled gun resented. Immediately the assassin fired, and oth of the assailed fell. A ball had entered the left breast of Mr. Barnum, below the heart, and had ranged backward to the spine, Mr. Macomber hud received two buckshot in his left arm, infleting a very severe injury. Oa hearing the report of the gun, Mr. Albert Jones, coachmaker, on Third street, near Pine, aad whose room was next to that of’ the gentleman just named, rushed into the gallery, and received a second fire trom the assailant. A ball struck him in the forehead, and he feil dead. Two other gea- Leman, ledgong in the same range of chambers, Mr. M. H. Henderson, of this city, and Capt. W. D. Hubbeil, of Liberty, Mo., who had also rushed | out, were also wounded, the former in the fore- | head, and the latter in the wrist, both severely, | and by buckshot. The alarm immediately brought Mr. Theron Barnum to the scene, and the police were called in to search for the murderer. Io an entry leading to the gallery, was found one of the Frenchmen, | tully eae He was seized by the officer: the | assussin, and started off to prison. Iu leaving the | house, however, the way led past the chamber of the brothers, when the young man stopped, de- clared his innocence, but said that his elder | brother, then in the chamber, was the gy. per- | son. He was directed to call on his brother to open the door. He did 80, and the call was re- sponded te. On perceiving the officers, the elder | Montesquiz rushed to a stack of guns in the cham- | ber, and was followed by officer Flanagan, just as the murderer was about to fire on the crowd, A | desperate struggle ensued, apd Montesquiz was | fineily secured. Previous to the two mea being removed to prison, Mr. Macomber recognized the | elder as the one he had seen at the window. Mr. Jones was found lying as he had fallen, quite dead. He was a young man universally | esteemed, and engaged in a successful business. | Mr. Barnum is yet alive, but no hope whatever is | | entertained for his recovery. It 18 impossible to divine the cause of this sad , unless it is attributable to insanity. When terrogated | admitted the killing, and said he had been directed | by God to kill two men. The younger brother has | since refused to cenverse on any subject I further learn from a gentleman of Alton, that while stopping at a hotel in that place, a few days since, one of the brothers presented a loaded gan at the landlord, as if to fire. The landlord seized the gua, and beat his countship out of the house | witha peker. | | Immense excitement exists in consequence of | the affair just narrated, and fears are entertained efi upon the alleged insanity of the accused. The | people of St. Louis have so frequently been bam- | Pooled Mf this pl u of insanit tit 1s scarcely wondertul they should sometimes be found lacking | in faith, though it is to be hoped we may have no more mobe through any cause. Arous. | Tue Fiorina Lxpian Murpengrs.—A correspon- | dent of the Savannah Kepuodlican, of the Ist inst., writing from Tampa, under date of the 22d ult., and speaking of the movements of Gen. Twiggs, and his disposal of the surrendered murderers, | says :—The plan of Gen. Twiggs will further im- | timidate them. He is about establishing a line of forts from the Manatee river across the peninsular to the Atlantic; these ere to be completed before the next talk. The Indians will then see a great force ready to be throwa upon them the moment they refuse to go. General approbation apgears to be expressed for the activity and efficiency of Gen. Twiggs, in his operations with the Indians thus far. The three Indians delivered up are to be sent to the fort about to be established at Pease creek. Whether they will be hung or kept for service as mides, in cave of war, is not known. Maj. Morris eaves here to-day with the troops at this place, to establish a fort at the burnt store on Pease creek on Twiggs leaves to-morrow for the poste morth of this. Metancnoty Accipent.—Mr. Megler, a wood cutter, while engaged im cutting down a tree, a short distance from Paterson, on Saturday morning, met with a most painful accident.
