TRAGEDY OFF THE STAGE.-An ac-

Morton made an attempt on Friday
night last to kill Ben. DeBar. The
exact nature of the difficulty between
them, we are not advised of, but learn
that Morton had taken offence at
some alleged failure Of DeBar, to full
fill his PROMISES, whereby Morton, was
subordinated both in the cast of char
acters and in the street posters. Nor
ton, had doubtless been nursing biz
wrath for long time, and on The
night mentioned was standing ir a
doorway, waiting for his enemy. As
DeBar passed he jumped out at aim
and epdeavored to stab him with a
bowie-knife; DeBar's alertnes and
skill at fercing saved his life lie
knocked off the blow with his enc, and
then grappled Morton until police
man came. Morton was placed under
bonds to keep the peace, ard required
to give bail in $500 for Ais appear

swayed to and fro, in the violence Of
excitement, the other extremity of that
garment threatened to become visi-

It is 20 longer fashionable to wear

the most difficult things, a modern

was that he looked so much more
CHASTITY and intolerable than the dead,
stark people. There is strong light

impression that the bodies were all

he looked horribly incougruous there,
even after it departed. All about him

pegs, and hooks and rods, hang, for a
certain time, the clothes of the dead
who have been buried without recog-
milton. They mostly have been taken
off people who were found in the water,
and are swollen, (as the people often
are) out of shape and likeness. Such
awful boots, with turned up toes, and
sand and gravel clinging to them, shall
be seen in No other collection of dress {;

"This gentleman has paid our town
visit during the past week. We are
please dto see the Major looking in good
health 'and high v'gor, and hope be
may live a thousand years. The Mai
is giving Fillmore some rough digs
about Cuban affairs. We shall pub.
lish letter of his on this subject next
week, to be followed with others. What
he says in this matter. he hnops, aud
it may be relied upon as strictly true. y
Let it be produced-and suddenly,
without invention. If it can be shown
by Maj Kelley's letter that Mr. Fill
more acted in any unbecomipg man
ner in reference to the Lopez affair, it
is proper that it should be known to
the nation. His acts were public and
stand now as matters of history. Per-
Laps Maj. Kelley, may correct the re.
cord in such manner as to allow CAPT
tai to be made for the dominent party.
Let it be done let us have it all at
once. The argument to be used to
prove, that Mr.. Fillmore acted in bis
official capacity as President of the
United States, in any manner unbe-
coming the Chief Magistrate of the
Nation; will be exceedingly interest
ing The Major is somewhat iDdebt-
ed in gratitude to the last democratic
Senate Of the State; but we are one Of
the last to suppose, this has any inau-
ence in prompting him at this hour in
the day, to come out against the candl-
date of the American Party.

The LOUISIANA DEmooRAT.-The
Junior of Bard's Campaign Red River
Democrat, sends us copy of that de-
lectable sheet, with another half col
umn, of Newspaper puffs, taken from
sundry Northern papers for tour
amiabls and accomplished State Su-
perintendent of Edncation.' as the
aforesaid Junior calls him We see
no sufficient reason why The aforesaid
Junior should mark these sort Of
things, to call our attention to them.
Have we not admitted that Bard, is
a very great and piously good man ?
Have we not admitted him to be a
shining light Of example to lead the
Knights Of Jerioo; good Preacher,
Of any persusasion, from the High
Church Episcopal down Have we
not held him up an example for
other State functionaries, in the man
ner which he discharges his duties ?
What more. Must we be haunted
eternally, and Internally by the very
appropriate name of the Senior 2"
The Junior will oblige us TO quit it
after all, there are other great men in
the nation besides Bard. and we can
not afford to give so much space in
our paper, at a business season like
this, to shove Bard along in public
estimation. We make no doubt " he
made speech at Tammany Hall,
and that He is lionized to great
extent" He is regular roarer.---
II is but right that he should
give public notice in papers, that
p" Dir. Samuel Bard, State Super
intendent of the State of Louisiana,
is now at bis rooms at the st. Nicho-
las, and may be seen &c Bard has
done much in the cause of virtue.
Tweie strange indeed and very hard,
That one who iabors day and night
Dealing death blows, without regard,
To all who swagger from the right
We say twere strange that such a man as Bard, |
Who plays on every instrument ofwind,
Should go to-without reward
And leave one, his praise to sing.
The above is dedicated to the spec.
ial regard Of the Junior" He will
oblige US TO cut it out, and paste it in
the croEn of his hat. We can afford to
say no more editorialIy on this inter
resting subject; however the Junior
Of the Campaign Red River Democrat
Is assured that if any body down
here denies that Bard IS a great man
ct for lion of the hugest proportions
we shall say to such simply be lies"
