VOLUME XIV.

Mr.. Wade thinks that the President can now make
the most of his dish of porridge. Mr.. Morrill,
who paired with Wright, says the cuimlnating
point is now reached and the battle will soon be-
gin in earnest Conness and sumner were OF
course, ready listeners to these wild expressions.
The President suffers under deep disappoint-
ment at the uptoward result. He said that it must
now become law, and he trusts that its advocates
will thereby soon be convinced their own error.
The President inquired particularly of the de-
pertinent of the negroes present on the occasion.
The Supreme Court will be the final judge of the
constitutionaty of this law, and a general desire
is expressed that an opportunity may soon arise
for its decision This last great breach between
the coordinate branches of the government has
naturally resnscitated the many extreme opinions
with reference to impeachment, or a Cromwellian
move on the part of the Executive. These antci-
pations are not only premature, but utterly un-
founded in fact. KANGAROO,

An Exciting Affair.

lrrom the MemphiB AfguSl
By the politeness of gentleman from down the
rant, last evening, we learn some particulars con-
cernng an affair of quite an exciting nature, that
transpired at Helena. Ark, Q few days since.
man named William Hanley, who once be-
ionged to the 7th Illinois cavalry, was arraigned
before the recorder of the town on the charge of
maltreatng his wife. She was the principal wit
ness, it seems, against him.
Some revelations were obtained from her. which
only confirmed the previous suspicious Of the
citizens. They had been in the place only about
three or four weeks, and his frequent absence,
leaving the woman called his wife, at a private
boarding house, had excited remark. She stated in
court that his last trip osensiby to Mississippi,
was solely horse stealing expedition that he
told her on his return that he had stolen and sold
| three horses. is i
At this statement Hanley became furious, drew
pistol, and, before any one could interfere shot
the woman, the ball entering her head. AZ she
tell he fired second time, fortunately missing his
aim, but narrowly missing the mayor and some
stepped back against the wall and defied arrest.
The mayor and some policemen attempted to
arrest him, when he snapped his pistol at them,
but it missed fire. A policeman fred at him but
without effect S@4s #
Finally, the mayor knocked his pistol from his
hand, when he was seized and after desperate
struggle, manacled and sent of to jail In the
fatal, confusion on the head. His trunk was
| opened by the mayor, and within it was found
full supply of skeleton keys, q dark lantern, and
other burgarious instruments, proving him to be .
professional sconndrel. +.
day or two afterward the villain was brought
before magistrate, who bound him over for his
appearance at the circuit court in bond of $1,000,
on charge of assault with intent to kill, in de-
fault Of which he was sent to the town jail to
await his trial.
The woman, who said they had been married
Twelve months, received proper attention, and It
was thought would live. She repeats her frst
statement, giving the names of Haney's accom-
plices, and making several additional statements,
which, from her earnesness and intelligence, are
generally believed. The affair altogether created
an unusual stir in the town.

GIBSON AND AUsTN.-Gen. R. L. Gibson and
Major J. E Austin have formed a copartnership in
the practice of law, and are now prepared to
attend to everything in the way of their profession
These gentlemen were partners in another kind of
business for three or four years, but although they
retain their military titles their thoughts are now
all intent on peace, and the battles of the forum
are the only kind they propose to wage in future.
They are both too well known in the city and
State to need word in.thelr behalf. A thorough
knowledge of their profession, and an ardent
devotion to it, are the passports they have to
popular favor.
