The Late John Henderson. Jr.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. Ia, 1866.
Col ]. o Nixon, Editor Crescent
Sii'-In your paper of this morning observe a
notice of the death Of my brother, Mr.. John Hen
derson, Jr., with brief review of his life, TIC
your comments urge no objections, feeling that
perhaps they would have been harsher but for
your intimate knowledge of the peculiar state of
his mind during the last ten years. But must
earnestly protest against your structures upon the
legal and forensic capacities of my father, Hon
John Henderson, have in my possession a copy
Of series of resolutions passed by the bar Of the
Supreme Conrt of the State of Mississippi, in
which his abilities as advocate and attorney are
classed as second to none among such compeers
as Yerger, Anderson, Smiley aud Harris. You err
when yon state that other ADLER counsel were en-.
gagged to defend Lopez at the time Of the Cuban
expedition. None other appeared, and my father
alone eontended against the district attorney (1[r
Hunton, beleyel, assisted by the Hon. j. P,
Benjamin. The argument he then made is still
extant, and contend that it is neither prolix nor
g hammered;'' but as a clear exposition of inter-
national law, and as true and eogent legal argu-
ment upon the points involved, that it was such
as to elicit the appreciation of the bar at that
time, and certainly such as to insure acqpittal,
In justice to the merits Of one of the south's
truest sons, ask that you will publish the above,
feeling confident that the structures contained in
your mornings ISSUE could not have emanated
from the pen of one familiar with the prominent
legal capacity and position Of my father
I am, sir, respectfully, etc,

From the Aurora dll Herald, Sept. 8th.l
About two months since good looking and
gentlemanly appearing stranger entered our office,
ordered some printing done, and introduced him
self as CDR. VIM. G. MCDermott, late of Boston,
and formerly of the United States navy;'' and adj
yertised himself through the Herald, and by pos
ters for the treatment of diseases OF the eye and
ear-for all of which printing he promptly paid
US. Soon afterwards he presented for publication
q notice of his marriage to q . Miss Ellen j.
Carnes,n also formerly of Boston, aud had printed
some wedding cards--which cards and papers con
tanning said marriage notice, he distributed IN this
city and abroad.
The doctor seemed to be having an extensive
practice and rode about good deal with his fair
one, Introducing her to those with whom he had
become acquainted. and both ingratiated them
selves into the good graces OF number OF our
citizens. The doctor appeared to be about thirty
years of age, boosted of his wealth, Of his royal
ancestry in ireland, and Of his being chief Of all
the McDermotts-all of which we have no proof
to the contrary now. His partner is perhaps
younger than her lord, but good looking. They
removed from private family, and took rooms at
the Aurora House, at which time it appeared that
Mrs. Med had son about eight years of age,
showing her to have been formerly married.
This fact came to light last Monday morning,
by the appearance in our city of another gentle
man from the United States navy, who gave his
name as Ensign Wilmot W. Dulay, who claimed to
have been the former husband Of the lady in ques-
ton, and who did not know anything to the con-
trary of this until this morning. The two birds
were soaring away on one Of their pleasant
voyages that morning, but officers were sent in
pursuit who soon winged them and brought in the
game. Both were arrested, when Dulay com
meneed proceedings against his wife for the re-
covery of his child, which was finally awarded
into his custody. During the trial some rich pro-
ceedings came to light.
The doctor was found to have former wife and
four children living, from whom he claims to have
been divorced, while the lady made the same plea
in her behalf and against her former husband
the truth of Whichnether could substantate by any
proof The woman was for some reason let of,
but McDermott remains in Jail, under Indictment
of the grand jury for bigamy.
at last accounts, Mr.. Dnlay was endeaVoring to
induce his wife to resume marital relations with
him again, and had agreed to stop proceedings
against McDermott upon his paying certain sum
of money.

DENTAL CARD.-sueh have been the improve
ments made in dentistry during the last few years
that none but the most intelligent and skilful prac-
titioners have been able to keep pace with them,
and to do work fully up to the most modern stand
ard, Among these DR.. Henry Laurence, whose
office is at No 176 Canal street. stands prominent
not only fer his science and skill, but for the
never varying courtesy of his department. His
patients all agree that his work cannot be exceled
while his prices are low as the times will allow
In this climate there are few persons but re.
quire the services Of dentist; and we therefore
advise our readers TO read DR.. Lawrencets card
which appears in the CRESCENT this morning, and
bear him in mind when they require work to be
done in his line.

ECONOMY - IF there ever was time when the
people were compelled to study and practice
economy. so rs to meet the demands for rent and
the necessities of life, that time is now. The ex.
penses Of living in this city at the present time
are nearly double what they were previous to the
war; and it is matter Of surprise how the labor
ing classes, and many who do not labor, manage
to keep their heads above high water mark.
Many sleepless nights are spent by heads of fami-
lies rejecting on the future, while the little re-
sponsbiities under their care are, thanks to an
all-wise Providence, quietly slumbering, because
not disturbed By the cares Of life.
But the greater the obstacles the greater must
be the exertions to overcome them; and the first
thing which should be attended to in these times
of trial is to study economy. Certain expenses
like rent, for instance, are inevitable some others
that we have long regarded as such, may be
avoided or at least much reduced.
The expenses.of fuel, for instance, have hereto
fore been great in this city and they viii continue
to be, so long as the old-fashioned CRATES and
stoves are used. There is, however, no longer
any excuse for using them, for stove has been
qnire, is infinitely superior TO any other now in
use, and the cost for fuel to those who use this
stove is least one third less than they have been
in the habit of paying while using stoves in which
wood OF coal are consumed.
We rsfer to the petroleum vapor stove, for sale
at price that brings them within reach Of all, at
log Camp street, near Poydras, Don't take our
word for it, but so and see for yourselves. if what
we state is not strictly true, There is no humbug
about it. Go and see il tested

Satire may be conveyed in pictures of still life
as in caricature. NJ. Juncker has in the Paris Elk
hibition crayon picture of vegetables in which
he aims shaft at the too celebrated Theresa, the
queen of licentious song. The idea is wrought
out with green cucumbers and red peppers, near
which there lies book, the ,'Memores de The
resa," and some sheets Of paper scored with her
most popular songs.
