A Strange financial Controversy.
The controversy which has taken place be
tween the Secretary of the United States Treas
ury Department and the Comptroller thereof, ia
a very singular and strange affair. Secretary
McCulloch, it scema, recently took occasion to
correct a statement ot finances emanating from
the Comptroller, Mr. Freeman Clarke, upon
which the latter, afler demonstrating to his own
salisfaction that liis figures were right, pitches
into his chief, by way also, as a eotemporary
says, of demonstrating that. “ he has some inde
pendence in him.” The case is thus stated: The
Secretary having stated that he would require
$112,000,000 more than current receipts to carry
him through the remainder of the fiscal year,
Clarke avers that by a proper administration of
11 is resources he can save a surplus of $200,000,-
000. lie further states that the Hon. Secretary
has not in any of his monthly statements for the
last few months shown within titty millions of
dollars the amount of money in the Treasury
or 011 deposit in national depositories.
We doubt riot that Mr. McCulloch can ex
plain satisfactorily this difference in calculation,
in the resouees of the Treasury Dcpartmetft, be
tween himself and his Comptroller, and we there
fore attach no great importance to the difficulty;
or controversy, as to the finances locked up in,
or accruing to the department. What seems
strange to us, is, that any difference about a mat
ter ot so much importance should exist between
the high official and liis subordinate. It is to us
too, singular, for we believe this is tlic first time
in the history of that department of the Govern
ment, where any difference that may have exist
ed between the Secretary and his Comptroller,
has been made public. Mr. Clarke must have
been sorely touched,’and greatly aggrieved, at the
Secretary’s corrections of his statements, when
lie in vindicating himself, assailed, as he has
done, his Chief’s published statements.
Pertinent to the laaue.
The National Republican says : ‘‘As President
Johnson was in the United States Senate, and
Mr. Maynard in the House of Representatives,
from Tennessee, after the ordinance of secession
was adopted by that State, the very pertinent
question comes to us: ‘If they were entitled to
their seats then, Congress of course regarded the
secession ordinance as null and void. And if
secession did not take Tennessee out of the Un
ion, when and how did she get out ?’ ”
The fact stated, and the interrogatories put, in
the loregoing, are pertinent indeed, not only to
the question of the Tennessee delegation being
admitted into Congress, but Jn regard to the olh-.
er Southern States. If secession did not take’
Georgia out of the Union, then she is still in it,
according to the “Republican” doctrine. How
the radicals of the republican party, which main
tained that doctrine during and previous to the
war, can escape the dilemma in which their pre
sent position places them, is strange indeed. It
is against light and knowledge they err. Fanat
icism, however, leaps over all boundaries. It
lias heretofore ran its course, and it will do so
again.
The Cherokee Georgian—We had the
pleasure of greeting in our sanctum yesterday,
our old friend Captain J. A. R. Hanks, of the
Chetvkee Georgian, a sprightly weekly paper,
now published in Dalton by a firm of which he
is the head, and which we commend to our busi
ness men as an excellent medium for advertising.
In Atlanta, where Captain Hanks spent so much
time during the war, be has a host of friends,
who will be glad to know that he Is in our city in
excellent health and spirits. In his new voca
tion—that of journalism—lie possesses the ability
and enterprise to command success, while he will
do honor to the profession. “May his shadow
never grow less! ”
A Talking Editor.
The Mobile Register has introduced a new po
sition in that establishment. It has engaged a
“talking editor," who will occupy an office fitted
up with cartoons representing scenes from the
Castle of Indolence, where he will be happy to
receive visitors between the hours of 11 at night
aud 8 in the morning. Is our Mobile cotempo
rary annoyed by geutlemen of leisure ?
The military bill which went through the
Senate on W ednesday provides that the army of
the United States is to consist in times of peace
ot five regiments of artillery, twelve regiments
of cavalry, aud fifty regiments of infantry. Eight
of the infantry regiments, and in accordance with
an amendment proposed by Mr. Wade, two of
the cavalry regiments, are to be composed of
colored men. An infantry-regiment has, beside
the officers, 500 privates, which number may be
increased at the discretion of the President to
1,500. Our peace establishment, therefore, would
number from 65,000 to about 75,000 meu.

of Mr. Stephens, of the old adage, “ When

ture of the disease.” Here are two dfetinguisb-
cd ex-Judges of the Supreme Court of our State,
differing on a point of constitutional law. Who
shall determine which Is right ?
ARGUMENT OF HON. LINTON STEPHENS.
Of all the judical decisions bearing on Ibis sub
ject, 1 find but one which is directly on the con
stitutionality of a stay law. It is a decision from
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, delivered
by Chief Justice Gibson. This decision is a very
able one, and furnishes the true distinction I*--
tween that case and all the other cases in which
the decisions, and still more the obiter dicta., were
ajrjsircntly adverse. The case turned upon an
act of the Pennsylvania Legislature forbidding
the sale of property under execution during out
year, unless the property should bring as much
as two thirds of the value which should be pre
viously set upon it by appraisers appointed
for that purpose. The constitutionality of that
act was affirmed*; aud the act was distinguished
from all others of a similar character-which had
lteen held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court
of the United States, by the circumstance that
this act confined the stisficnsion of the remedy
to a definite period—one year—while the other
similar acts which had been over ruled, had pro
vided an indefinite suspension—an indefinite sus
pension of the remedy being equivalent in its ef
fect, to an abrogation of the right. The same
distiction is clearly taken and strongly pressed
by Judge Berrien, Walker, and others, in
their decision pronouncing against the consti
tutionality of the Hunting art of this State.—
Throughout that decision, they lay great stress
upon the indefinite suspension of the remedy,
and the consequent .abrogation of the right or ob
ligation of the contract. This distinction furnishes
a clear path through all the mazes of the labyrinth.
There arc obiter dicta from Judges of the Su
preme Court of the United States, as well as
iroin other. Judges, going to the extent that the
obligation of a contract is t]ie existing remedies
for its enforcement ; but this position is demon
strably wrong in itself, and is plainly inconsist
ent with a whole class of very numerous decis
ions in which there has been an entire concur
rence of all the courts. Whenever the case lias
been presented, the courts have uniformly held
that the change or modification of the remedy
was within the power of the Legislature so long
as some remedy was left by which the obligation
could be enforced, Tbe obligation of a contract
can be enforced only by some sort of action ; and
yet the courts have always held that the Legis
lature might shorten t lie period within which ac
tions might be brought on existing contracts. So
they have maintained the validity of laws that
provided for the release of insolvent debtors from
imprisonment under execution issued in pursu
ance of the law existing when the contract was
made. This point was expressly decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States affirming
the validity ot a resolution of the Legislature of
Rhode Island discharging a debtor front impris
onment. It has also been held by the Court of
Appeals of New York, that the list of property
exempt from sale under execution could be en
larged as to executions founded on prior contracts.
There is also a powerful analogy to be found in
the decisions of the courts upon a rule of crimi
nal law. They hold that criminal accusations
must be governed, not by the laws of .procedure
existing when the offense was committed, hut by
those which tire in force at the time of tend—
This was expressly held by the Supreme Court
in this State in the case of Baily vs. the State,
reported in the 20 volume of their decisions.—
Between the time of the alleged killing and the
trial, the Legislature changed the mode ot making
up juries to try criminal cases, and the court held
that the trial must be governed by the new law,
not the old. The remedy, in other words, was
under the control of the Legislature; aud yet,
the prohibition against ex post facto laws, is just
ns explicit as that against laws impairing the ob
ligation of contracts. Now is it not clear that
one accused of crime is protected from new laws
of investigation and procedure, from new reme
dies for the ascertainment of his guilt—just as
creditors are protected front changes in their
remedies ? Is a mere pecuniary right more sa
cred than a right of life or liberty ? These cases,
civil and criminal, constitute au unbroken cur
rent of authority in support of the important and
necessary doctrine that the remedy is a matter
within the control of the political power, so long
as all remedy is not withdrawn—is not taken
away for an indefinite period. It must be par
ticularly noted that these decisions, not mere re
marks of judges, do ineoutestibly overthrow the
doctrine which lias been set up iu opposition to
the constitutionality of all stay laws, which is
the indispensable foundation of si ch opposition
the doctrine that, tha obligation of a contract is
impaired whenever the remedy tor its enforce
ment is impaired. The remedy of imprisonment
is undoubtedly a very powerful one lor the en
forcement of contracts—to hike it away must
impair the remedies of the creditor—must greatly
lessen the efficiency of his remedies—and yet, the
courts of this country, including the Supreme
Courts of the United States, have expressly held
that this remedy may be taken away from ex
isting creditors, prodded all other remedies are
not also abrogated, or suspended for an in
definite period, which is equivalent to an
abrogation. The whole confusion on this sub
ject comes from the original false assumption
which has sometimes been made in the obiter
dicta of Judges, but which has never been de
cided hv any court, and is inconsistent with the
unbroken current of decisions before mention
ed—the assumption that the obligation of a con
tract is the existing remedies for its enforcement.
The obligation of a contract, it is very true, is
not to be found always in the terms used by the
parties—it is to be found in the liability which
the existing laws attaclrto those terms. Indeed,
the obligation of a contract is the liability which
the existing law attaches to its terms. Eor illus
tration, a contract in this State to pay twenty
per cent, interest, has no obligation beyond seren
per cent., the rate fixed by law ; and contract to
pay money for the killing of a human being, has
no obligation whatever. Parties may - make
what engagements they please—these ilo'not con
stitute their obligations—the law existing at the
time, comes iu and attaches its own liability to
the terms used—defines and fixes the obligations
arising out of those terms. These obligations
are to be enforced by such remedies :is the poli
tical power may provide from time to time; aud
the courts can never interfere with changes or
modifications which the political power may
make in the remedies, either quickening or slack
ening them, so long as the right is not abrogated
by the indefinite withdrawal or suspension of
all reined\\ , Linton Stephens.
POSTCRIFT.
The whole fallacy of the veto message consist
in the false assumption that the obligation of a
contract is the laws for its enforcement—that is
to say the remedies existing at the time when the
contract is made. The message itself, after tak
ing this position, yields it in saying (J do not
quote the words but give the substance) that there
is a power in the Legislature to modify the re
medy, but this power has two qualifications—
first, that it must lie used in good faith with a
view to the general improvement of judicial pro
ceedings ; second, it must not be used to the in
jury of existing rights. These qualifications are
wholly gratuitous, not warranted either by prin
ciple or authority. But the admission that the
Legislature may modify the remedy at all, with
or without qualifications, is fatal to the idea that
the remedy is the obligation of the contract. It
is equivalent to saying that the Legislature may
modify the obligation of the contract; for if the
remedy u the obligation, then a modification of
the remedy is a modification of the obligation.
Now a modification of the obligation can not
take place without impairing it—without chang
ing it in one direction or the other, rendering it
more or less stringent—either enlarging or di
minishing it. If by the modification the remedy
is made more efficient, the obligation is rendered
more stringent and is changed in favor of the
creditor. If the remedy is made less efficient,
then the obligation is rendered less stringent,
and is changed in favor of the debtor. In either
case the obligation of the contract is changed.—
But this is precisely what the constitution in
hibits iu declaring that no State shall pass any
law impairing the obligation of contracts. The
constitutional idea is that the obligation of the
contract, whatever that may be when the con
tract is made, is sacred from all State interfer
ence, from all change in favor of cither party, the
debtor being just as effectually protected against
such change as the creditor is. The obligation
of the contract is impaired whenever it is chang
ed for or against either party. The admission
that the Legislature may modify the remedy is
the true doctrine, extorted by the uniform ^deci
sions of all the courts; but the verv fact that the
remedy may be so modified is plain pro6f that
the remedy is not the obligation; for a modifica
tion of the obligation of the contract is the verv
thing which is forbidden by the constitution.—
The argument is a strange one which the Mes
sage draws from that p$rt of the State constitu
tion which provides that the Legislative, Execu
tive and Judicial Departments shall be distinct,
Is faulty becartee. it prpyc$. tec $ttg/L.ttii
iff conclusion* .which ntwt.lw.iBSfaiUrtjf i _
as being subversive of the whole structure of the
constitution. ITtlfc Legislature cannot dictate
to the courts alter judgment^ how can it do so
before judgment ? And if it cannot do so before
judgment it is simply ousted of all power. The
very function t of tlie Legislature is to dictate
rules ot action, to the other two co-ordinate de
partments, and to the people. That "this power
reaches beyond judgment, regulating tile pro
ceedings after jndnient as well as before, was ex
pressly decided by tlie Supreme Court'of the
United States, in-the Rhode Island case before
cited, where that court affirmed the validity of a
law discharging debtors then'in jail under judg
ment. The whole error here arises from con
cluding that because the Legislature and the
Judiciary are made distinct by the constitution,
they are therefore independent. They arc distinct
and they are co-ordinate, but they are not indcr
pendent In truth, neither one of the three co
ordinate departments is independent of the other
two. The Executive aud Judiciary are liotii
dependent upon the legislative for the rule or
law of their action, while the Legislature Is de
pendent upon the other two for the application
aud execution of tlic rules prescribed by it. If
is surely just as competent for the Legislature to
give direction to the process of tbe courts after
judgment as before judgment. Principle and
express authority concur in this conclusion.

A VeiadJtli Murder.
The community had scarcely recovered frotn
the shock occasioned bv the cold-blooded mur
der of one of our best citizens, before another
equally as heinous follows. Faustin Simon, an
estimable young man, engaged at the restanran;
of Mr. Forsyth, on Royal street, was brutally
murdered on Sunday night at about half past
nine o’clock, near the corner ot Maine and Ham
i lion streets. I Ie was found in the last agonies
of death, with blood protruding from two stabs
in liis body, either of which would have produ
ced death.’ lie was found l>y the police, but no
traces or clue to the murder were obtained on
that night. Yesterday morning, a young man
was arrested on suspicion, but was .soon after re
leased, there being no grounds on which to hold
him, and he clearly proved his innocence. The
police were set to work vigilantly in' all portions
of the city, and public feeling was bitterly mani
fested on "every hand. During the day, the police,
got a clue to the guilty party, and followed it up
closely. Young Faustin had a difficulty with a
man a short time ago about a w'oirtan and on
Sunday night lie visited the house; and after
wards "invited a woman in that neighborhood to
a restaurant where they had supper. It appears
that he left her, and went out, and was shortly
afterwards met and stabbed as above described,
li was at first supposed thfit he had been robbed
of his watch and pistol, but it lias since been as
certained that he left them at libnie. No doubt
exists as to the cause of this cowardly murder.—
Jealousy of an abandoned woman led to the
bloody deed. Last evening the police-suc
ceeded in arresting the. main one of the con
spirators upon whom suspicion rested, and
lodged him safely in jail. His name is Emanuel
English, and circumstances point strongly to
him as the man who committed the deed. Oth
ers are implicated, and we have no dolibt but
that they will be ferreted out and brought to jus-
I ir e. Young Simon was a native of Brazil, and
was favorably known in our city. He was an
amiable and inoffensive young man, who lias al
ways labored faithfully to gain an honest liveli
hood. So far as we can learn, lie had no rela
tives in this city, but was highly esteemed by a
wide circle of "friends, who deeply deplore Ids
untimely and shocking end. The preliminary
examination of English will be had as soon as
practicable. "
Since the above was in type we learn that an
other of the parties implicated havebeen arrested.
Also that Faustin Simon was the step-sou of a
wealthy coffee planter near Rio Janeiro. , He
left in 1S57, since which time he has been at sea
anil was in the Confederate army throughout the
war, having received a-wound in one of the-bat
tles. His father was very wealthy and left a for- '<
tune to his mother,’and it was thought some dif
ficulty with the step-lather liad caused him to
cast his lot in a foreign land among strangers.’—
He was very prepossessing in appearance, and
of genteel address. The unfortuna te young man
contemplated returning to his home in Brazil
this summer, and had some notion ©f going by
the steamer Margaret, which leaves in a few
days. His.remains were decently interred yes
terday. No efforts will be spared by our efficient
police in their labors to Tiring all tlic guilty par
ties to speedy justice.—Mobile Register, 13fA.

Another Rebellion Threatened.
The Salem (Mass.) Statesman says:
“We heard one of the Radical leaders say
that if the President, went, on, the next rebellion
would be in Massachusetts,”
Well, that would be nothing remarkable. They
hail one rebellion against the laws in that State,
that had to be put down at the point of the bay
onet ; and they came very near having a second
during tlic late war with Great Britain. It Was.
really initiated, anil nothing but the proclama
tion of Peace, which soon tol lowed, prevented
its culmination. Let the Radicals rebel against
the wise, conservative policy of the President,
and he may rely upon a hundred thousand stout
arms in Virginia alone to aid him in enforcing
the laws. Massachusetts is more disloyal this
day than Virginia, and it. may be necessary to
teach her a wholesome lesson of obedience to
the Constitution, which the President is laboring
so heroically to maintain, We trust that the old
Bay State has bad her day, and that henceforth
she will not be able to rule the whole country.—
The men who long ago proclaimed that the
'‘Constitution was a eonvenant with death and
an agreement with lull,” and who have been
agitating always; keeping the country iu a state
of disquiet that ended in a civil war, should be
compelled to hold their peace aud observe obe
dience to the laws. Treason should be held to
be a crime in Massachusetts as well as in Virgi
nia; and such, we are happy to know, is the
view of the President. Let not these Radical
agitators presume too much on the forbearance
of the President, or they may awaken to au un
comfortable realization of trouble. They may
hear the jingling of Mr. Sewards’s “little bell,
and. find that Fort Warren is strong enough to
hold Northern as well as Southern “traitors.”
The real peace that is so much coveted by all
truly patriotic men cannot be attained so long as
these pestilent agitators are permitted to concoct
their schemes of opposition to the Government.
The President may have to give them a stronger
hint than that contained in his speech of the22d
February, and he is the very man to do its—

The Marriage of Negroes—Orders from the
Freednieu’s Bureau.
Mention was made some days ago of an order
of General Howard’s, giving his subordinates di
rections relative to tlic marriage anil divorce of
negroes. The following is the order in full:
War Department. 1
Bureau Refugees, Fedm’.v, & Abandoned Lands, ■»
Washington, March 2, I860. )
Attention is called to paragraph eight of circu
lar six, series 1865, from this office, with regard
to marriages. The Commissioner deemed those
regulations sufficient to enable the assistant com
missioners to draw up more specific rules. The
Commissioner directs that each assistant com
missioner consult the State laws with regard to
the marriage and divorce of white persons, anil
embody them for the benefit of freedmen, so far
as this can be done in a circular.
It is desirable to frame such a system of mar
riage rules as would be approved "by the State
authorities. It is, therefore, advisable to procure
the formal approval of the Governor to your cir
culars on this subject. The Commissioner would
simply suggest several points that require imme
diate attention: 1st Parties eligible to marriage.
2d. Who shall grant certificates of marriage. 3d.
Parties authorized to solemnize marriage. 4th.
Dissolving marriages. 5th. Registry of marriages.
6th. Regulations with reference to persons who
have lived together without marriage. The
greatest care must be taken to instruct all the
freed people as to what the law demands of them
in regard to marriage; and all clergymen and
magistrates who are authorized to give certificates
or solemnize marriage, must be earnestly solicit
ed to aid the bureau officers in rectifying the ex^
isting evils on this subject.
The assistant commissioners will forward to
these headquarters a copy of their regulations
with reference to marriage, as soon as they shall
be drawn up, for file in this office.

Strange Marketing.—One of our citizens

Taking it out to inspect ft, ilie lid fell to its place,
when the fowl was again apparently heard to
cackle. Looking again, another egg "was found.
These operations had [attracted quite a crowd of
eager spectators, .who were all as much surprised
as the owner ot the basket, till some one espied.

A Determined Beggar. .
A Queer Scene at a Methodist Church iu Washington—
The Door Closed and the People Made to Pork Over.
A Washington letter writer furnishes the fol
lowing :
Changing the subject from revolutions to relig
ious affairs, I have au interesting occurrence at
what is called the Foundry Methodist Church in
this city, some two weeks since, which is worthy
of recording. The. pastor of the church, Rev.
Mr. Moody, was connected with the army, and at
one time was stationed at Nashville, Tennessee,
and there became intimately acquainted with An
drew Johnson when he was military governor.—
Some two or three weeks since Mr. Johnson went
to the Foundry Church, on the Sabbath morning
to hear Mr. Moody preach. After the sermon was
concluded the reverend gentleman ordered all
the doors closed, placed sentinels at each entrance
and directed them not to let any person pass out
until he gave them permission. Having arranged
this part of the programme, he turned to the con
gregation and informed them that the repairing
and fitting up that place of worship hail cost the
church $10,000, anil that the congregation had
to pay or subscribe that ainount before they could
leave the building, The plate was passed and a
large amount was received; but this was a mod
erate sum compared with the whole amount.—
The reverend gentleman then made another ap
peal to them, announcing in the style of Beecher
that they need not think that they were going to
get oft that easy—the amount hail to'be made up.
Faper anil pencil were then passed around for
those present to subscribe, the pastor all the time
continuing his appeals. As these slips were passed
up to the pulpit, Mr. Moody read off the names
and the amount each subscribed. These varied
in amounts from filty up to fifteen hundred dol
lars. But when this was concluded, there was
still quite a sum lacking. Another appeal
was made, which seemed to prove resistless.—
The plate was again passed around, and it came
to President Johnson, he took a large roll of bills
out of his pocket, and* without opening or look
ing at the amount, placed it on the plate. As it
was returned to the pulpit, the pastor announced
that he would inform them how much the Pres
ident had given, but Mr. Johnson interrupted
him, and protested against any such announce
ment in any form, and Mr. Moody yielded to his
request. But rumor, of course, is busy with its
stories as to the precise sum. It appears to be a
well settled fact, that it was not less than a thou
sand dollars, while many declare that it was fif
teen hundred.
This last effort was successful in raising the re
quired sum. Mr. Moody then turned to the con
gregation and informed them, now that they had
nearly removed the debt from the church, they
had got to give another thousand dollars to make
the President of the United States an honorary
member of the church. When they had accom
plished that they might go home. Another sub
scription was taken up and tbe amount raised.
There were several members of Congress present,
all of whom gave liberally for this proposition,
varying from twenty-live to one hundred dollars
each. The President was then declared an hon
orary member of the chorch, and the church and
the congregation dismissed, having been detain
ed there from eleven in the forenoon to two in
the afternoon under this excitement and pres
sure.
John W. Fornet, D. D., once denominated
Thaddeus Stevens a “villian at heart, whose es
cape from Pennsylvania might not be permitted
by the Jaws,” and, to add to this extreme bitter
ness of denunciation, called hirn “a Yankee! ”
Was this “a Copperhead hoax” uncle Stevens?

' ' The institution of a sukrof divorce bv Mrs.
John "A. Kasson against her husband, and their
final separation, has excited some attention dur-
ftig thd past three weeks, bat still Las not receiv
ed that attention from the press which its impor
tance would seem to demand. The prominence
of Mr. .Kasson, his well-known ability and influ
ence in the councils of the natioii>which all
qpncCde, and the length of time lie lias been
before die public in high official position, togeth
er with the amiability, beauty and lovely dispo
sition of liis wife, all conspire to make it a case
of mure than ordinary moment. The facts have
not yet been published in full; and now, since
the parties irnve agreed to an amicable separa
tion, it is doubtful it they ever see the light, fur
ther than arc new known. * For this reason, we
collect such as have been made public and pre
sent them in a continuous narrative, though ot
course not able to give so fill! an account as
presence in the town whpre they reside would
afford.
- Mr. and Mrs. Kasson liave l»ccn married, we
are tolil, about fifteen years. He is, we believe,
a native of Alabama, certainly of some Southern
State, but moved from there many years ago.
He has spent a good deal of liis time in Wash
ington, where lie became acquainted with and
married life wife. Her maiden name was Caro
line Elliott; lifer mother still resides in Washing
ton unless lately removed. Mrs. K. has a brother
who is a Unitarian clergyman, rc-iding in Sb
Louis, where he is pastor ot a church. This
marriage has never been lilessed with any chil
dren, and it is lielieved lit.,I in this fact is to be
found, remotely or directly, no small part of tlie
cause of the present trouble.
Mr. Kasson, during the first part of Mr. Lin
coln’s term, was First Assistant Postmaster to
Mr. Blair, but lie resigned the place in 1863,
when he was elected to Congress from the Fifth
District of this State. He had made his home
at Desmoines for several years, where he has a
pleasant little homestead. His wife had usually
accompanied him to W ashington, blit this win
ter she did not go, for some unexplained reason.
It would appear, however, that at his departure
he had no suspition of her, nor, if he was guilty,
did he suspect that she hail any knowledge of ft,
for he left much the largest part of liis ready
money with her.
While he was absent in Washington this win
ter, .Mrs. Kasson not only heard, but it would
seem obtained evidence that he was guilty of
violating life marital vows. Who with, however,
when or where, is not known, and probably will
not be made publie. It is said, however, that
the lady in question was indiscreet enough to
write him a letter that contained a good many
tilings a friendly epistle should not contain, and
this, of course, was miscarried, and finally came
into Mrs. Kasson’s possession, and it is presumed
that this contained the evidence of his sin. Be
this as it may, she considered her wrongs too
grievous to be borne, and with a full knowledge
of- all she and lie must both sacrifice, she deter
mined to institute proceedings, and a petition for
divorce was drawn up, hut we cannot learn that
it was ever filed. This was about the middle of
Februaiy. Of course it would not long be kept
a secret, and when started it traveled fast. Its
first public announcement we think was contain^
ed in OUr dispatch published on the morning of
February 20. Mr. Kassou was at once informed
of the state of affairs and started tor home. It
will be recollected he was charged in some of
the papers with dodging on some of the impor
tant votes taken that week fo Congress, but it
now appears that he was speeding away for
Iowa as fast as possible in a matter that affected
him mlicU mote deeply and nearly than the mat
ters he was leaving behind, important as they
were. _
The result is already announced. He arrived
at home, had an interview with his wife, it is
^aid, acknowledged his guilt; she laid down the
terms ; lio agreed to them; they resolved upon
an amicable separation; legal proceedings, if any
had been instituted were dropped, and he is now
on his return to Washington. The lovers of
scandal, and those eager for the prqrient devel
opment of such divorce cases, are disappointed’,
and in a short time the whole thing will have
passed from, the public mind.
, This is the. prevalent view. Mr. Kasson, of
course, has many and warm friends who do not
and cannot believe those things true of him,
anil they allege that his enemies in his own
party, who were ofiended at his pubiic action,
anil especially those who are jealous of hfe pow
er and popularity, have operated upon Mrs. K.,
and magnified what, perhaps, were only slight
indiscretions into great wrpngs, until they have
goaded her on to do what she has done. How
this supposition will he mode to hinge with his
action while on a visitto Des Moines does not
appear.. One account says lie appeared in open
court in Warren county, and plead guilty to the
allegations of infidelity, whereupon a decree was
entered in accordance with the prayer of Mrs.
Kasson’s petition, but this is doubtless an error.
It is said that Mr. and Mrs. Kasson had always
man ilsteda remarkable affection for each other.
They were attentive and considerate of each
other as lovers; she was proud of his talents, his
open address, and his position; while he was
proud of the kind, gentle, womanly and flue so
cial and mental qualities of life wife. He was a
fine man, much Superior to tlie common run, and
she was worthy of him. Their letters up to with
in a very recent period were such as would only
be expected from a high-minded and honorable
companionship. But so it is. This unfortunate
denouement has shown to the world the skele
ton of the closet. Smiles and carresses liave
ended in tears and distress..
RThkkk been a report going the rounds of
the press, says the 'Paris Kentuckian that Gen-
; f eral J. B. Hood was to be married to a daughter
ojf General William Preston, of Louisville.' We
remarked to him, recently, that he had to suffer
for hfe notoriety. “Yes,” said he, “and it must
be exceedingly annoying to the lady, as we have
had no acquaintance whatever, having never
even seen oqq {mother.”
tty day life- In 1 tfrat gay metropolis. In Sj>cakia L
ofj Paris business'.and their mode of advertising,
hetoays: . :
“Yon have read the French papers, of course.
If you have not, you have at least seen that tlicy
contain nothing like tlie proportion of advertise
ments, thatour papers do. The fourth page ot a
few is given uprto this use, and that fe all And
such advertisements! Great black, sprawling
letters, of the regular ‘stud-hoss-biD’ pattern. No
country paper would publish shell things, But
there is very little ot advertising done. Tlie
French ilo not consider it altogether reputable to
resort to this mode of attracting attention. ” A
business with them fe an inheritance like an es
tate, and it passes from father to son through
several generations, or to successors who relig
iously maintain the old name ot the house with
their own name placed under it Thus you will
see ‘Maison Trichard,’ ‘Mafeon Ohauter,’ and
hundreds of others. This is the old name of the
house, and it is kept up, however proprietors
may change. In consequence the place and bu
siness are well known without advertising.—
Both here and in London signs with a single
name, ‘Jones,’ ‘Dunbar,’ and the like are veiy
common. They are old houses long known by
their names. Another, and the most amusing
feature of Parisian business is the queer names
sometimes given their establishments. Thus, in
Rue Rivoli, a few blocks west of the. Hotel de
Ville, there is a store named ‘The House of the
Infant Jesus.’ another is called ‘The Blood of
Jesus,’ another ‘Cradle of .Jesus,’ another the
“Siege of Corinth,’ another ‘Pen of Humboldt,’
another the ‘Tower of Babel.’ What the use of
these fantastic names may he I can’t imagine,
but it is at least as sensible and appropriate to
call a candy shop ‘The Cradle of Jesus,’ as to
call a whisky shop**The Pearl’ or ‘Gem:’”
The writer teHs how Sunday is spent in Paris,
and how the Frencli work:
“It is Sunday, to-day, by the almanac. You
would nevfer know it from any tiling you see in
this city. Let us stroll up the river, past the
south end of the Tiiileries. You see the work
men are busy on that long gap in the old bond
ing which Napoleon has torn out to re-build with
greater magnificence. You hear inside the high
fence the clicking of hammers on the soft cream
colored stone, the creak of ropes and the hasty
tread of leet. The men are at work just as they
were yesterday. But they work in silence.—
Frenchmen are not noisy, and, let me add, they
are not industrious either. I saw the other day
at the Bibliotheque Imperiale, (the largest library
in the world, containing about two million vol
umes,) some men at work filling up a hole with
loose stones that had been dumped in the street
about fifteen feet from the place where they were
needed^ An American would, of course, have
filled his arms full of the fragments and carried,
and thrown them over twenty at a time, and
would neither have expected or deserved assist
ance. How do you imagine the French did it ?
There were thirteen men, besides the boss, form
ed in two lines from the cellar to tlfe stone pile,
and thcse.passcd the stones from one to the other
as we used to do fire-buckets in the old days,
and witli a leisurely indifferent air that made me
ache to show them how ‘live’ men work. Two
ordinary hoosiers could easily do all that the
thirteen did, and in half the time.”
A; wine shop in Paris is described as follows:
“ There go a half dozen liackmen, stamping
their ■wooden shoes, into a wine shop, usually
designated by the sign, ‘Commerce de Vin.’ T
Let
rsign,
us follow them in. The counter is covered with
zinc, and about three feet of the middle, by a
foot or two in width, is ‘dished’ or sunk four
or five inches. In this depression the bot
tles are placed, though the uncovered portion
of the counter is well bottled over too. A .wo
man ‘keeps bar.’ She gives you a bottle of cla
ret, called here ‘Bordeaux,’ for 30 cents. It would
cost $1 50 in Indianapolis. It is about as strong,
as cider, a little more sour, and rather clearer in
taste, it is pure, because it is so cheap there Is
no use in adulterating it. Bordeaux is me univer
sal beverage here; brandy ia rarely used by any
body ; whisky you never see; gin may exist, but
you will not find it without a special and perse
vering search. I have not seen a drunk man in
Paris, anil arrests for drunkenness in this city of
two milliions of inhabitants are not So numerous
as in our little city. The two facta belong to each
other, and pne may explain the otter.”
Testing Her LyNOCENCE.—The following
touching scene recently occurred in a Parisian
court of justice:
A poor, pale, wan seamstress, was arraigned
for theft. She appeared at the bar with a baby
of eleven or twelve months in her arms, her
child. She went to get some work one day, and
stole three gold coins of lOf. each. The money
was missed soon after she left her employer, and
a servant was sent to her rooms to claim-it. The
servant found her about to quit her rooms, with
the three gold coins in her hand. She said to
the servant: “I wap going to carry them back to
you.” Nevertheless, she was carried to the com
missioner of police, and lie ordered her to be
sent before the police for trial. She was too poor
to engage a lawyer, anil when asked by the-
judge what she hail to say for herself, she an
swered : “The day I went to my employer’s, I
carried my child with me. It was in my arms,
as it is now. 1 was not payiug attention to it.—
There were several gold coins on the mantle-
piece, and, unknown to me, it stretched out its
little hand, and seized three pieces, which I did
not observe until l got home. I at once put on
my bonnet, and was going back to my employer
to return them when I Was arrested. This is the
solemn truth, as I hope for Heaven’s mercy.”
The court could not believe this story. "They
upbraided the mother for her impudence in en
deavoring to palm off such a manifest lie for the
truth. They besought lier for her own sake to
retract so absurd a tale, for it could have no ef
fect, but oblige the court to sentence her to a
touch severer punishment that they were dispos
ed to inflict upon one so young and evidently
steeped so deep in poverty. These appeals had
no effect, except to strengthen the poor mother’s
pertinacious adherence to her original story. As
this firmness was sustained by that look of in
nocence which the most adroit criminal can
never counterfeit, the court were at some loss to
discover what decision justice commanded. To
relieve their embarrassment, one of the judges
proposed to renew the scene described by the
mother. Three gold coins were placed on the
clerk’s table. The mother was requested to as 1
surae the position in which she said she stood at
her employer’s house. There was then a breath
less pause in the court. The baby soon discover
ed the bright coin, eyed it for a moment, smiled,
and then stretched forth its tiny hand and clutch
ed them in its fingers with a miser’s eagerness.
The mother was acquitted.
North Carolina Items.
Sentence op a Woman for Killing a
Negro.—The Raleigh Standard says that Mrs.
Elizabeth Ball, tried in that city by a military
commission, for killing James Thomas, a negro,
has been sentenced to one year’s imprisonment
in a penitentiary. As there is no penitentiary in
North Carolina, she may be kept in confinement
under guard. Executive clemency is invoked in
her behalf.
Ingratitude and Incendiarism.—Colonel
Thomas C. Mcllbenny, for many years a large
rice planter, living twelve miles below Wilming
ton, had recently erected on his property exten
sive machine shops, and stocked them with val
uable machinery and materials. Some negroes,
formerly in the United States service, whom he
had employed, set fire to the buildings on Sunday
last, and everything was consumed. Messrs.
Shackelford, Haas & Co., in the same place, lost
a large quantity of lumber by the conflagration.
The sum total of losses amounts to $20,000.
The Supreme Court.—A digest of the re
ported decisions of the Supreme Court, by Judge
Battle, is soon to make its appearance. The
Judge has been busy on this work for several
years, and it is now ready for the press. It is to
consist of two volumes, of convenient size, and
will embrace the whole set of reports, from the
beginning.
Garroting in .Wilmington.—Captain W.
H. James was garroted in Wilmington on Sunday
night. Robberies, highways and other ways,
are becoming frequent in that city.
Mr. Isaac P. Lee of Gates eonnty, North Car
olina, was killed a few days ago by being caught
under a tree he was felling.
Ex-Governor John Gill Shorter, of Ala
bama, it is said, has succeeded in procuring the
release of some cotton belonging to himself and
others who live in the neighborhood of Enfaula.
The cotton was seized several months since on
the ground that it had been subscribed to the
Confederate produce loan.
In the United States Circuit Court, New Or
leans, John P. Tweed received a verdict of sixty-
eight thousand dollars against the Louisiana
Mutual Insurance Company for cotton lost by
the explosion and conflagration in Mobile last
June.
Fort Leavenworth is to be abandoned as a
Government post as soon as the cars on the- Pa
cific Railroad are running to Fort Riley. And
this is promised in the Lawrence papers as early
as the fourth of July next
