sage in the Senate, says the Reporter fol
the National Intelllgencer, there was a
slight expression Of applause in the gentle.
mems gallery, by striking on the floor with
canes, which was instantly followed BY one
or two rather faint Kisses.
Several Senators rose simultaneously.
and the sonorous voice Of Mr.. Sewer, Of
Arkansas, was heard loudly demanding
that the galleries be cleared.
Mr.. Benton rose at the same time, ap.
parently under strong excitement, and sta.
ted that there had been Kisses in the gal.

At this moment all marks, Whether Of
appreciation or the contrary, immediately
ceased, though murmur Of conversation
IN the gallery continued.
Mr.. Benton proceeded, and again said

and arrest the offenders. There was a
company Of most respectable citizens in
the gallery, who had not participated in
this bank outrage, and they would point
out the individuals who had. These ruff,
ans would not dare 10 utter their Kisses in
the presence Of King; and yet, in the
presence of the Senate, and during the
reading of an executive message, they had
had the efirontery to insult not only that
body but the President of the Union.
Mr.. Linn rose, but yielded to
Mr.. Riyes, who rose at the same mo.

Kissing it must have been very feebly ut.

could deliberately intend TO insult the Chief
Magistrate Of the Republic; and even il

dangerous feat of suspending the body BY

And IL order to do it, he assembled ladder
which rested against tree, fastened his
handkerchief around one of lis supporters,
and then around his neck, and observed to
his little brother, that he was going to
swing like the Snowman, leaped oil, and
alas, was not able to reach the ladder

time, and the cold hand Of death rested up.
on him. Fathers, you who read this sad
and affecting occurrence, suffer not your

discussion in the Senate on the Bankrupt
Bill elected some interesting information
respecting the peculiar laws and ugages Of
the State Of Louisiana, 10 guarding the
rights of married women aud minors. A
correspondent Of tho Phlad lphia North
American says
Louisiana guards the rights of Ter wo.
men with kind and parental care. The
husband cannot ALLEVIATE the property even
by the consent Of his wife; aud even the
money given by the parents, either before or
after marriage. is as much the separate pro.
perry of the wife, as the Iand and negroes
She can even nake the husband her debtor
and sue hun in a court Of law. II was 10
guard these rights thai induced Mr.. Barrow
10 offer the remarks he did, WHICH we're,
that no bill that iEterfercd with that peculiar
privilege Of wives, could be supported by
him. II | mistake not, this law was adopt
ed since Louisiana became Territory of the
United States. Dashlng young fellows
used to 90 there and marry the beautiful
Creoles Of the Territory, and spaaa their
money within short period, leaving then
10 penury. Il is sind iha, il was to guard
against this conduct % tie part Of unpFincl
pied Adventures, that the enactment of this
law was found necessary BY the prudent and
kind French Crooles of that hospitable re
giou. No matter shat led 10 il, the exam
pie IS worthy Of all praise.
