on the case of Mariguy DAuterives citizen of
Lou. claiming compensation for the loss of negro,
who was impressed into and lost his life in the ser
vice of the United States at the time Of the attack
upon New Orleans. Mr.. p. p Barbour opened
the discussion on this subject this morning, in
clear, compact and able speech of about half an
hour Ills speech you will see reported, and if he
