Mr.. Sumner in Favor OF Legal Distinc-
tiOns of collar

The bill yesterday introduced by Mr.. Sum-
ner into the Senate, #" to carry out the prin-
ciples of republican government in the Dis
trict of Columbia" offers curious example of
the old maxim that " extremes meet" Those
of our fellow citizens who have heretofore
feared that the distinctions of color would be
totally abolished in the District of Columbia,
80 that there would be no difference what CO.
lor judges, lawyers, jurors, etc, should have,
will learn with satisfaction that the opposite
principle is to have the powerful support of
Mr.. Sumner, who is not only in favor of pre-
serving the discrimination by law, but of fix
ing it in the very sanctuary of justice, the ju-
ry-box, to which Mr.. Burke said all the con-
stitutions and all the laws Of England were
but accessory.
One section of Mr.. Summers bill, in confor-
nifty to the principle of abolishing all discri-
mination on account of color, would make it
illegal to know whether voter was white or
colored, and in order to enforce this oblitera-
ton of the distinction, another section pro-
vides that the jury who are to try the viola
ton shall be half white and half cozored. That
is to deny the distinction of color we shall af-
firm the distinction of color that the law
may ignore the difference, the law shall recog-
nize the difference that color shall cease to
be known in court, shall enter into the very
constitution of the court-N National Intelligent

JOSH BILLINGS ON HAPPINEs Happiness
consists in not knowing it, The best way to
be happy is not to want anything until you
have got it, and then be saving of it. Pud-
ding and milk is good thing to have so one
has not too much of it. Happiness does not
consist so much in what one has as in what he
does not want. The happiest person he knew
was one who had no Undertaking; but he was
made very unhappy by being kindly given a
new shirt, with which he found fault because
the collar was not starched enough. Two
thirds of the fun Of sliding down the hill is
the drawing Of the sled back afterwards. His
experience taught him the height of happiness
was being unhappy and not knowing it. Sud-
denly rich people are like mulattoes- they find
themselves above what they started from and
below what they started for

COwardIy Attempt to Murder a Lady.

Day before yesterday genteely dressed wo-
man called at the boarding house on the south
east corner of Sixth and Sycamore streets,
and asked to see any married lady who board
ed there, as she had something to impart va1u-
able to married ladies.
The servant, thinking that the woman was
fortune teller or vender of some female nos
trum, invited the woman to take a seat, aud
then apprized a young and newly married
lady, who, with her husband, had recently
taken up their abode in the house
Curiosity impelled the young lady to see
the stranger, and probably sharpened her wits
as well as opened her eyes, for no sooner had
she entered the room than she recognized in
the strange woman discarded lover, disguised
in female apparel, who had sworn to kill
her if she ever n arried another than himself
With admirable tact, however, she disguised
her feelings, and pretended to take an interest
in the few hasty words addressed to her by
the rufian, until she saw him attempt to draw
revolver from the bosom of his dress, which,
owing to his awkwardness in wearing, became
entangled with the deadly weapon, and gave
the alarmed and terror-stricken lady time to
escape. Finding his purpose discovered and
foiled, the would-be assassin fled as though for
life, which must evermore be poisoned by cha
grin and the consciousness that he is amenable
to outraged law for his cowardly and treach-
erous attempt to murder helpless and inof-
fensive woman.-CSn. Commercial, Nou. 80.

The WAR ON THE PLATE-The Plate river
war still continues but by the latest news,
by the New York and Rio Janeiro line ship
Havana, bringing dates to the 4th ultimo, it
would seem that the Paraguayan cause is des-
perate, the allied forces being on the march to
Humaita, the great stronghold of the Para
guayans. The arrival of the steamship Ha-
vana at Para, en- route to Rio Janeiro, was
celebrated by the inhabitants with earnest
demonstrations of rejoicing and welcome.
They were delighted over the Inauguration of
direct steam communication between South
America and New York Prof Agassiz, the
distinguished naturalist and party had been
heard from on the frontiers of Peru. The
character of the Professors discoveries in
South America is stated to be of the highest
Importance to science. The source of the
river Amazon had been definitely traced to
Lake Lauricocha, in Bolivia, in north latitude
ten degrees and thirty minutes and west longi-
tude seventy degrees and thirty minutes.

An EIopement and Arrest.

On Wednesday last a well-known resident
OF Baltimore, doing business in Washington.
appeared at Marshal Carfnichaels Office and
gave. information of rather extensive breach
OF trust operation, perpetratedby his own wife.
de stated that he had been married some six
years, and although hehad, upon certain &C.
casions, been ruffled somewhat &C her conduct,
yet he had never doubted her truth and hon.
esty. On Tuesday last, however, he states
that he disposed of house on Exeter street
for $4,000, and gave her $4,000 of the mo-
ney to be deposited in bank He took his de-
partllre for Washington, and upon RETURNING
the same night was somewhat taken aback at
receiving note from his truant wife, cooIly in
forming him that she had taken the money,
and by the time the note reached him she
would be thousands of miles away with one
she loved dearly" Exasperated at her con-
duct he obtained the services of detective
Smith, by whose aid he was enabled to trace
her, and found that she had given the money
toa young man Whose name, out of respect to
his family, we refrain from publishing) and had
concluded arrangements for final departure.
The husband was fortunate enough, however
on Friday last, to encounter the aforesaid young
man, who, it seems, had been former admir-
er OF bis tickle wife, and hailing policeman
ordered his arrest. He was taken before Mar
shall Carmichael, when he admitted having re-
ceived the money, and offered to refund it,
if the husband would stay further proceed
ings. To tits the husband willingly assent
ed, expressing no desire to recover his wife,
but stating that he only wanted the mo
ney. The case was Immediately compromised
by the return of the money and the young
man released, the husband leaving the office,
apparently well pleased with the denouement.
