Guardian’s Bond. 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. A man answering the description of Quantrell, the leader of the Lawrence, Kansas, massacre, was arrested in New York Saturday night, and is now there in General Augur’s guard house. It is said several citizens of Kansas, including Sen ators Lane and Pomeroy, ami Captain M. II. Iusley, have visited him, and are of the opinion that he is the identical individual. Official news has been received by Senor Hemo from El Paso, the scat of the Mexican Government, up to the 16th ultimo. President Juarez, and his government, remained in undis puted possession of ^Northern Chihuahua.

Havana, March 10.—The Spanish steam frig ate Neptuvo has just come iu, towing the schoon er Mathildc, with three hundred and seventy-five slaves on board, said to belong to Panclio Marty. It is said there are more on board the steamer, making one thousand five hundred and seventy- two in »U. recently passed by. the Legislature of- .our State. They are the views of the Hen.’ Linton Stephens, ex-Judge of our Supreme Court, addressed to one of the representatives of Muscogee county, Mr. J. M. Russell,’ami by him submitted to the Sun for publication. We pul>- lLsh the document for the benefit especially of our legal friends. We are forcibly remind ed, however, in referring to the views of our excellent Governor, aud the opposite ones of Mr. Stephens, of the old adage, “ When doctors disagree who shall determine the na 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. Linton St nr hens. 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. 1 Tfca JT BHKXB 3 I 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— Lynchburg Virginian. 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. O.

Strange Marketing.—One of our citizens going to market, yesterday morning, was sur prised to hear the cackle of a hen in his basket, as lie had not, as } et, made any such purchase. Raising the Ud he was still more astonished' lb see it empty, with the exception of an egg.— 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.

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 ADMINISTBATOB’S sale.
