70 Messrs. Thomas J. Durant
and William Fl: Hunt, strong orig
inal anti-secessi anists and uncompro
missing Union men, were engaged in
arguing before the Sixth District
Court of New Orleans on Monday
last, in favor of the validity of Con-
tederate notes as the consideration of
a contract entered into during the
rebellion whilst E. w. Noise, Esq,
late Judge of the Confederate States
Court, was taking notes on the other
side, with the view of responding to
and combating the arguments OF the
above named gentlemen. With Mr..
Noise, in this position, says the Plea
yune, stand Judge Campbell, at one
time Judge of the U. S. Supreme
Court and afterwards Asst Secretary
of War, and Commissioner to the
conference in Hampton Roads for the
Confederate States, and Judge Stat
ford. one of the Confederate Provost
Marshas in the last days Of the oc-
cupation of New Orleans.
Here is a case presenting one of
these curious anomalies in the law
profession, which puzzles the unini,
tialed in their attempts to reconcile
it with their ideas Of strict congruity
or propriety.

"EvER OF THEE."-A sad story
is connected with the name of the
writer of the beautiful song. "Ever
of Thee" which has been sung and
admired by so many in this country
and in Europe:
Foley Hall was gentleman by
birth and education. Wealthy in his
own right, with large expectations,
he led needless life, not choosing
his associates, but allowing himself
to be drawn into the society of the
vicious. His property soon disap-
peared, and he was left without re-
sources sufficient to buy his daily
bread. His musical talents had been
highly cultivated, but as be never
needed them, he scarcely knew to
what degree they could be made
available. In his distress, however,
he wrote his charming song, "Ever
of Thee" A London publisher gave
him one hundred dollars for it, but
that amount, with such spendthrift,
would not last long. He wrote other
songs, but the money not coming in
as fast as he wished, in a weak mo-
ment he forged the name of his pub
Usher, and although every effort was
made even by the publisher to save
him, it was all no use, and poor
Foley Hail went to Newgate, and
died broken-hearted before his trial
came on.

ANOTnEH EUROPEAN CONGRESS.

We have, at length, some 0ihclal conDrmalion
concerning the project of European Congress,
which has for some time been actively canvassed
bv the European press On May u, members oil
the English Government announced TO both Houses
of Parliament that negotiations were gong on De-
tween the Governments Of France, Russia, and
England for a Congress to be held at Paris; but
little hope was held out Of the ability Of the Con-
gress to preserve peace.
No official statement has yet been published con-
corning the character of the negotiations, but from
the concurrent opinion of the best informed papers OF
Europe we deem ii safe to infer that France Russia
and England are agreed to propose the discussion oil
three questons Venetia Schleswg Ilolsteln and the
Reform of the German Confederation.
The Independence Beige, paper which is usually
we'll informed on diplomatic negotiations, pretends TO
know that the propositions presented to Congress
would be as follows: First: That the Schleswig-Hol
stein question be submitted to the decision oil the III
habtants. Second That the proposal presented by
Prussia for a reform of the Federal Constitution be
examined in as far as it may relate to the equilibrium
of Europe Third That venetia be coded to Italy
for a certain compensation, Italy guaranteeing and
recognizing the temporal sovereignty Of the Pope
within its present limits.
Certain it is. that Italy will not be party to any
arrangement which does not provide for the cesson OF
yenetia. The Government, the Parliament, and the
press seem to be unit in regarding war as inevitable
unless Austria should declare her readiness to part
with Venetia.
At the date of our latest adyces there were vague
rumors from Paris that hostlties were just about to
begin In Turkey, bloody conflict had taken
place between the forces of the Danubian Prlncpali-
ties and the Turks. The Paris Conference for settling
the fate of the Princpaltes has denied to their people
the right of choosing foreign prince, but the new
Legislature has nevertheless again elected Prince
Charles of Hohenzollern by an almost unanimous
vote
