and argued that the Lecompton Constitution was
legally formed, and was legal instrument even if
it embodies only the views of minority The fault
was with the majority for not attending the cleo
tlons, and it ought to be ratified by Congress and
admitted. The democratic party would sustain no
permanent injury by endorsing the course of the

it was altogether accidental

A BOSTON METHOD OF ENFORCING DOMESTIC
DlsCiPLIsE.-Last evening the attention of
Lieut. WhtcoIb, Of the second police station,

mature age Of 40 or thereabouts, and in reply

was Anna Fitzgerald, and lived in Congress

altogether comfortable, the officer required her
TO rise She reluctantly complied. The Of

he observed, and he requested her TO advance

how she came to be thus equipped, but the
suggestion Of a night in the tOmbs induced her
to disclose. According to her story, her hus-

AN ALLEGED FREE-LOYE AFFAIR.

From the Cincinnati Times Sth instl
About 10 O'Clock last evening tho residents of
Seventh street near John were aroused by the
noise Of fierce struggle and screams in the
residence OF David Quinn, Esq. A number
made their way into the house and found Mr.
Quinn beating with slung shot DR. Brake,
an inmate Of bis house. The parties we're sep
arated, and Policemen Ackley and Movers ar
rvlng, both were taken into custody Thew
were locked up in the Ninth st station house.
Mr. Quinn soon procured bail and was released,
but Braskie was still in custody The latter
was badly injured. His head was cut i'm several
places by the slung shot, and the wounds bled
freely The charge against them was fighting
but the case had not been called at late hour
There are many rumOrs aiOat concerning the
affair, but the io,i9wing seems to be the truth
vi the matter as near as we can get at it. The
parties are spirituGlsts. Mr.. Quinn is a re-
spectacle member Of the bar, and has ALWAYS
been quiet, honorable citizen. Brake pre-
tends To be spiritual physician" curing
diseases by the means taught in the new phi.
lOsophy. lie came to this city several months
ago, and made quite an impression by exercis-
Ing bis healing powers; but with all that he was
poor, and had not the means of establishing
himself in his new and quaint business. Mr.
Quinn, having every confidence in his honesty
and surprising him to be Il gentleman, intro
duced and established him into his family, and
did all that Kindness could suggest
Recently, Mr.. Quinn had cause to suspect an
undue intimacy between Brake and Mrs. D.
The latter is lady who has heretofore borne
an unimPeachable character, and it was only
positive evidence Of her waywardness that
reused the suspicious of her husband. To as
sure himself positively, however Mr.. Quinn in
formed his wife yesterday that he was going to
the country for several days, and, making
preparations, left the house apparently with
that intention. In the evening, he managed to
ms aLa 10 hn,a
there but short time before his suspicious
were fully confirmed. He Immediately rushed
upon Brake, and commenced infcting punish
ment with slung shot. Had he been let alone
he probably would have killed him.
The exact nature Of the wife's offending is
not known beyond Mr. Quinn's own personal
friends. She, as well the " Doctor" denies
criminal Intercourse, and II may be that moth
ing further has transpired between them than
the qualification of that "passiOnal attraction
said to be warranted in spiritual practice The
affair has caused quite sensation among the
friends Of the parties

The AyENGER.-We find the following item

One day last week, there passed down on the
steamer Michigan a man having in irons an
other who had some three years since seduced
his sister. The seduction was under promise
20 marry, and the wedding day fixed but the
sedueer ran away the day before. The brother
OF the injured woman started in pursuit and
caught him at Erie, but by some means the
rascal escaped The brother still kept on his
track and found him again, but again he lost
him. Month after month passed on, and the
- -resol1te brother passed ON in pursuit, but
Gould get no trace Of the object Of his search.
little while ago, however, he saw a paper
published at Ripon, Wisconsin, in which the
name OF the seducer appeared "a editor
Thither he went, armed with a reouisition
from the Governor Of Pennsylvania, and ar

years, has the viOlatOr of his sisters honor

we failed to learn.
