CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.

The Madison (Ind) Courier, and other papers of that
stripe are pleased with the proposition Of the Judiciary
Committee in the United States Senate to take testimony
in Indianapolis in regard to certain matters connected
with the case of the contested United States senator's 1t
is alleged by Mr. Fitch among other things that three per-
sons protesting State senator's who demonstrated
against bis election entitled to seats in that body
f this is So reduces the remons,rans twenty four
which is less than majority of the senate, and con-
.titu,es M important fact in the consideration Of the
case. . f5rrne Ea p FL. .-ee R& N
But the Courier remarks that each house of the Indiana
legislature Is Judge Of the qualifications of its own mem
bers and that the United States Senate cannot inquire in
TO IT, even if the three members AZORES aid not legally
elected 1t Torgets that the United States Senate is the e
gal Judge of the election of its members and that depends
to great extent upon the qualifications of those who
pose the Sue legislatures Men not duly elected to- and
members Of that body cannot control the election of Uni
ted States senators hence the inquiry of The Judcary
Committee in the Senate is pertinent and important.
The Courier and its friends should recoliect that they
recently institute congressional inquiry into the legality
of the elect Of the members Of the Kansas legislature
aud that they desi ed aside all their acts void and
fraudulent because the members chosen by illegal
votes We heard nothing then about the Kansas egsa-
being the Judge of the qualifications Of Its

Aaron Burr's Daughter.

= remember reading some time age an ar
:tice copied from one of the New Orleans
papers, relative to the fate of Mrs: Allston
the accomplished daughter of Aaron Burr.
A sailor living in the suburbs of New
Orleans, who KEEP; a place OF resort for. per-
suns of his profession, on the eve Of death
sent for a munster of religion. to whom he
wished to disclose the crimes which burtheh-
ed .of, his conscience. His previous life had
been that of pirate, and the catalogue he,
gave of his acts was flied up with those,
deeds, which we could expect from persons
os the description, That one which dis
| turbed him most was the murder of a lady
on board one of the vessels they had cap
tured. - h's'
The vessel had, Of course, been plunder.
ed, and if mistake not, it was said the
family of Aaron Burr, was An board, and
the work of death then commenced. 1t was
the dying pirates part to see to their de-
struction All who were; not previously
killed were forced to swalk the plank" A
lady passenger on board begged him to
spare her life; but their plan vas to silence
every witness by death. Finding that she
could not prevail with the savages to spare
| her life, she arose from her knees, and told
him that they need not force her overheard,
as she would go cut on the plank herself
She did SO, and the usual plunge in the
deep announced this additional victim to
the number of those already destroyed.
From all the circumstances he related,
the time, the place where they captured the
vessel, the plate, &C., it appeared plainly
that the lady could have beenne other than
Theodosia, the laughter of Aaron Burr, and
the wife sof Governor Afistun. The c0i-
I fession of the yiBg5 sailor ceuld be only
contradicted by the proof of the chartered
vessel in which Mrs. Ailston sailed having
ioundered at sea. All other jcircumstanees
concur in strengthening the account above
given. The Coast was at that time nu:h
infested by pirates. Deeds Of daring and
blood were published frequently.
AS to the credit which may be attached
to the account taken from the New Orleam
, paper, the writer st this is unable to say
But it was never conlradicled, and it is
highly probable thai sech was the end o.
the stfectionaie daughter of Aaron Burr
The wavs OF Providence are inscru,abl,.-
! Perhaps the hope OF seeing his daughter
was that which upheld the exiletl mar
am id1t all his trials, and the man of blood
had her death thrown in ass, another bittel
ingredient in the cup of misery. .AEtchang
