A ROMANTIC SHOOTING AFFAIR.-Ten
years ago a little girl named Frances Day
ton, who had lost her mother and was
neglected by her father, was taken charge
Of by VIM. H. Russ Of New York. who
educated her. obtained a situation for her
brother, and recently had her installed
as book keeper in his own place, the Ma
tional Mexican Loan Co., 81 Broadway.
He had rooms Etted up lately, where they
might all three live together. The young
lady, from some unknown cause. refused,
and went to board at p. W. Kenyon's,
1893 Clinton street, Brooklyn. She is now
81 years old. Saturday afternoon Russ
saw her home. and when near Clinton
street, drew a revolver and shot her
through the head. She fell and he fred
again twice. He escaped from bystand-
ers, went to the dock and jumped over
board. The tide was out, and as there
was but a foot Of water, he could not
drown himself. .ra.a"
He Houndered out, shot himself twice in
the head, and though n eye was de-
stroyed, the balls glanced around the out
side of his head and lodged behind. He
was found stiff and frozen. taken to the
hospital. and one ball and part of the
other extracted. He says it is no use /; he
will kill himself; he does not care to live;
and he desires that the girl shall die 4; says
he shot her for her ingratitude. Miss
Dayton has had two of the balls extract
cd. but the third is still in her brain. She
can talk, is comfortable but it, ia a doubt
full case. She desires that Russ shall not
be arrested,

SNARr.-A man was lately arrested and
committed to prison in New York for de-
frauding young men in the following
manner He puts an advertisement IN a
paper for a young man to I'LL ga desirable
and lucrative" situation. A young man
calls +; is introduced, after a seemingly
searching inquiry as to character, etc., to
a pretended wholesale grocer, or something
of the kind. who has the desirable and
lucrative situation Il" but who must have
security for the young mans honesty. etc.
The advertiser consents TO become the
young mans security on his depositing
with him $500, more or less, according &c
circumstance. The money is deposited
with a great show Of legal formality and
exactness. and the young man starts for
the store Of his new employer, but finds it
not. He has no store. Then come indig-
nation, explanation. mysa6cation and ex-
cruciatiou, and the swindled young mar
goes home minus his money. Now, then,
let no man have anything to do with any,
body who tries to ge. security or a deposit
of money out Of him on any pretence
whatsoever. Such men are always n
mitigated swindlers.

lively discussion was had in the Assem-
bly, on these amended resolves. When
the originals came into the Senate they
were, on motion Of Senator Seeley. re-
ferred to the Committee on Federal Rela-
TONS Senator Seeley characterized the
originals as cumbrous In construction,
and otherwise imperfect. Some Of the
Assemblymen were grieved at the action
of the Senate in the premises, or professed
so to be and the charge was openly made,
that it was the desire Of the Committee on
Federal Relations, Of the Senate, TO "steal
the thunder" of the author Of the Assem-
bly, series! Reference was made in the
House-in gross violation Of parliament
tary rules-to members OF the Senate;
although the effect Of such illusions was
to increase the majority in favor OF the
Senate amendments; as it became more
and more evident that the ~derogatory re-
marks made in regard to Senators were
not prompted by altogether proper mo-
tives. Mr.. Hayden was the chief spokes-
man against the Senate amended resolves.
Having severely criticised, and having
voted against the originals, his opposition
at this stage might have been expected.
But he went SO far. on this occasion, in
commenting on the Senate's amendments,
and in sneering at Senators, that his hos
tility to the great DoorRINR Endorsed in
the resolutions was clear, and detracted
largely from the force of his speech. MIR.
Hayden is an ~Englishman, who has a
manifest dislike for and contempt Of
American Republican policy. He chal-
leuged the propriety of the word Gin
dorsed," as used in the first lines of the
| Senate amendments, which read:
WHEREAS, The people Of the United
States have accepted and Endorsed, as Ma
tional doctrine, the sentiments put forth
by President Monroe, in his message to
Congress of December 90, 1928, etc.
He said that the word endorsed" in
this connection. was a vulgarism /; and
likened its employment in the above SEN
tence to the phrase " get up and get" He
said such writing, in newspaper STYLE
was newspaper slang" etc. Mr.. Cutter
replied that the word which was impeach-
ed might not in the gentleman's regard,
be good English, but it was certainly
good american "a &" yulgarism again y
and he quoted Noah Webster's definition
Of the word, to show that the great lexi-
c~ographer's interpretations OF the word'
warranted and authorized its place where
the Senate Committee had located it. MIR.
Banks also appealed to the Assembly in
behalf Of " indorse :" remarking that the
exclamation Il indorse that sentiment 3D."
was one Of the most frequent in ordinary
and polite speech. Mr.. Gray, of Storey,
begged leave to inform the gentleman from
Lander (Mr. Hayden) that many words
had come into general use in our language,
which were not employed BY Addison.
For instance, there was the word "biK,'
a most expressive word; to which he re-
ferred the Assemblyman from Lander, at
a sample.

1t is probable that the losses among the
late slaves have been as great as those OF
the whites, in consequence Of the war. 1t
will be seen that in Mississippi and South
Carolina the late slaves outnumbered the
free people, and If we add the free negroes
to the number of the late slaves, we lind a
heavy preponderance Of blacks in these
States ; and it is probable that the negroes
now outnumber the whites in Louisiana.
There was about $50, 900 free negroes in
the South in 1860, and thus it appears that
slightly over half Of the whole population
of fifteen States was and still is colored.
These are facts important to consider in
respect to questions now at issue.
