Census of is 10 We have the pi easure

House of Representatives. Hy the t.olite

these. They lack, however, 3 States, and

CHARLES A. BROWN.
The following strange story is told in
the Jackson (Mississippi) True Issue of the
9th mst.
Mysterious. On Tuesday last, our at
tention was attracted by an unusual throng
in front of the Capitol: upon inquiring into
its pause, we were lulormed that a man
named Clark had procured a habeas cor
pus,' in order to obtain his liberation
from prison in which he bad been confined
under a charge of murder.
The facts of the case, as deve loped in
the testimony, as well as some portions
which we leaned afterwards, compose as
strange a tale of romance s is often pre
sented in real life. The individual said to
be murdered was an old man aged about
60, named Genet, and said to be a son of
the French minister of that name who had
some notoriety in the early history of our
country. The parties all reside in Frank
lin county, in this State, and the individu
als charged with ihe murder are the pr s.
oner, Clark, a negro man named Howinan,
who belonged to Gem t, and the deceased.
The Slate's most important witness, is the
daughter of ihe wife charged with the mur
der of the deceased. e do nol fttl at
liberty to give any of the testimony, lest
it tend to prejudice one side or other of
the -cause, but will merely state that j
as against Clark, it was entirely circum
stantial, yet of such a character as to in
duce the judge to require him to give bail
in a penalty of five thousand dollars. A
portion of the tacts having no immediate
connection with the guilt or innocence of
the prisoner, but which led to their appre
hension, were as follows:
About fifteen months since, the deceased
disappeared quite suddenly, s i much so,
indeed, as to arouse suspicion ol loul play,
although his absence was accounted for by
the statement that he had gone to South
Carolina, where he once resided. Time
rolled on, the deceased was forgotten, his
propeity was divided among his heirs, and
among other things, a negro woman, w ho
had belonged to him, was carried and sold
in Texas. A few month's since, a neigh
bor of the deceased visited Texas, and saw
the negro woman, who told him ihat Genet
had not gone to South Carol ina, but was
murdered, and to have bowman, who had
been her husband, arrested, and he would
tell all about it. The gentlewan came
home, and the result has been the arrest
oftlie prisoners, together with the discove
ry of ihe bones ol Ihe old man, which his
daughter identified.

these threats and admonish those who
made them, that the moral poition of the
