Some of the papers of the State are stating the
Democratic majority on joint ballot in the last Leg
slaure at A, some at 90, some at 81, and some at
IS. According to our list, which we think correct
we find, on reference to our files, the majority to
have been So. According to our table of loss and
gain, it will be seen that have lost II in the
Commons and gained 5; and in the Senate we have
lost 5 and gained making our nett loss II in the
Commons, and l in the Senate or IS in all. This
makes difference of 26 joint ballot which taken
from 5S leaves our majority 32. We presume our
Oppositonists will find this majority sufficient for
all practical purposes"

nenIh 81 on rroonrric nld Man

The Coroner OF New Orleans on Sunday
held an inquest on the body Of David Oaledo-
MA, ionnd derd IN a warehouse on the side OF
the river. He was a Scotchman--a misan-
thropio old fellow, IS years Of age, without
any particular friends, or relatives ordescend-
antsof any kind, that any one knew Of He
was, years ago, a man of fine literary attain
ments, and has written excellent poems,
which are said 10 be still extant.
Some ye1rs ago he ignored ali sympathy
with the human race, and took 70 dogs
Wen known to be honest and trustworthy,
be was not denied the only place he wanted,
corner in the warehouse, with the privilege
of keeping as many dogs as he pleased. His
dogs were his only apparent comfort; be ate
with them, slept with them. No thief or in
cendiary, not even an honest visitor in day
light, could enter the warehouse without the
dogs giving the alarm, and putting him to
flight The old man took sick at last and
died. Whether he had any friend beyond his
dogs, did not appear. IL WAS well known
that he slept with his dogs, they nesting and
sleeping around him as If they were his own
children.
The Coroner and his jury armed themselves
with sticks and stones and entered the ware
house. Ina distant corner, huddled together,
they counted fifteen dogs, ours and mongrels
Of all colors and sizes, crouching together,
silent and submissive They seemed to know
that their old protector was dead, and that
strangers had right to enter.
In another corner, whers the old man had
so long slept Ikea dog with his dogs, they
found his corpse, foul with the filth Of his
dirt and last sickness. Upon and around him
were no less than fifteen puppies; two of
them dead, and the others whining and
crawling over ard around him. 1t was plain
that during his last illness the dogs had slept
with him, and that his death and the irruption
OF strangers had compelled not only the dogs
but the sluts to desert the body and the young
puppies and crouch in a, distant corner of the
warehouse. The Coroner and his jury were
thoroughly siokened; the story Of the old
man and the evidence before them enabled
them to render the verdict of death by dys-
entery; and the Coroner, in ordering the
burial Of the loathsome remains Of a man
once bright, talented, and honored, told the
negro employed that he might bury the two
dead puppies in the same coffin with the
dead old man, who had Withdrawn from hu-
manity and lived and died only with dogs
