Domestic Economy
Said Simpson TO his wife one day,
"We've nothing left to eat
fittings go on in this queer way,
We shan't make both ends meet"
The dame replied in words discreet,
"We're no, SO badly fed
If we can make but one end meat,
And make the other bread !"

The Fugitive Slave Case.

PHILADELPHIA, April 6.-Rebutting testi-
mony to show that Daniel confessed to the
officers who conveyed him to this city, and to
others, that this was his first visit to Phiadel-
phia, was admitted after long argument by
the council. This rebutting testimony com
pletely overthrow the most important testi-
mony Of the defense.
At midnight the evidence closed, and the
counsel summed up the case, occupying six
hours.
The Commissioner has reserved his decision
until this afternoon.
The Courthouse was crowded this afternoon
to hear the decision Of Commissioner Long
streth on the Fugitive Slave case. Crowds Of
whites and blacks were also gathered outside.
| The Commissioner said that his duty as an
| officer was plain and simple one, laid down
| by law. He discountenanced all attempts Of
the counsel to appeal to private sympathies at
| the early stage of the case. After explaining
his connection with the case before the arrest
Of the fugitive, which was merely in accord
ance with the law, he said that there were
three things to be proven by the claimant,
namely, to the debt of labor, the escape of the
slave and identity.
He reviewed the testimony on both sides
and believed the two first points satisfactorily
proved. He disagreed with the counsel of the
claimant on the matter Of the time of escape
The claimant says that the escape was made in
November, 1854, while it is proven that Daniel
was in Harrisburg in the winter of 1858, or the
spring of 1854. The power of attorney was
also defective in the point of hight of the negro
there being difference of three inches. H,
confessed that he was not satisfied with tn
point of identity.
The question is left open, and the prisone
was discharged. The decision was greete,
with immense applause, the nature of whicl
was somewhat expected from the tenor of tn
opening remarks of the Commissioner.
Daniel was carried on the shoulders of hi
friends through the streets, and large crow,
followed him. Intense excitement is prevail
ing in the city. The Abolitionists propose
public celebration.

TIE DENISE OF THE OLD City Council
Previous to the adjournment of the City Coun-
Gil last night, several Of the members were
vociferously called upon to deliver themselves
of a speech upon the occasion of the demise Of
the Board. Mr.. Hassaurek scared into the
classics, and complimented the Board and him
self upon the labors they had performed. Mr..
Terrence elaborated in the genuine independs
ent spread-eagle style, and claimed that his
mission was to save the country and keep other
peoples fingers out of the City Treasury. Mr..
Marsh felt satisfied that he had discharged his
duty, and apologized for pitching into brother
Hollister.
Mr.. Weasner maintained his integrity Of
purpose, regretted his errors, and felt con-
tented. Mr.. Gaines regretted exceedingly that
other duties called him to separate from the
Board, and would retire gracefully. Mr.. Pu.
thoff made thrilling and splendid oratorical
effort, maintaining his unswerving faith in the
Democratic party, and his own industrious
efforts for the benefit of his constituency ant
the citizens at large. Mr.. Greene congratu'
lated himself that he had not said much, bu
had voted right.
