New YORK, April 29.-The kilograms received
from Washington to-day, foreshatowins the 6e-
cision of the Supreme Court against the constitu-
| tionality of the reconstruction s-heme has taken
every one by surprise, Notwithstanding the cir
cunstance that every fair-thinking man, be he
politician or not is well aware of the fact that such
decision would be the only just and lawful one.
Serious apprehensions however are entertained in
regard to the consequences that might ensue from
conflict in which two great departments
Of the government will be arrayed against the
third for it is believed that Congress will carry
tho war OF might against right TO the bitter end,
and will resort to such measures rs will virtually
invalidate the action Of the Supreme Court.
Although thero is no question as to the fact that
| it would be lawful for the Supr:me Court to
grant the Injunction prayed for, yet is
it vcry doubtful whether the interests of the South
would be best subserved thereby or not. and some
| of the best friends that the South has here arc
iearful as to the result. They argue that if law
bo passed authorizing the opening of stable
| door and tho liberation Of o number OF untamed
steeds, it were an easy matter to open the door
| and execute the law; but when the feet and half
frantic animals are at largo in the open felds it
may be easy to pass law authorizing their being
caught and driyenback, ,sbuta rather difficult mat
tor to carry the law out BY carrying tho sceeds in
again; the more go when those by whose directions
the doors had been thrown open stand ut the en-
trance, with long polos in their hands, to drive
away such of tho animals as happen to be coming
toward them Tho allusion is obvious, and needs
no explanation.
In ono Of my letters about two weeks ago, I al
| luded to the attempted suicide of two romantic
young ladies, who, as their relatives objected to
their assoeating together in this world, resolved
to leave it for the next and continue their acquain
lance there. AS there was no regular ticket Office
there passage to the world to como could be
., ured, the young ladies, as the next best thing,
or the next worse thing they could do, called at
druggists and invested in a phial of Paris green,
| with which they drank to each others death-thc
fact that they had taken the medicine was pumped
ont Of thom first, and the medicine pumped out,
| or in some manner got Of them next and on last
Friday they werc pronounced out Of danger,
wherefore, they at once got into danger again by
taking o friendly and socable drink of laudanum
thoy took too large dose however, and have been
saved again. One Of the girls declares that besides
forbidting her to associate with her chosen frond,
her aunt usod to treat her badly and on ono occa-
sion locked her up for ten days and nights, OH an
allowance of bread ard water, because she had re-
naiued out till nine O'Clock in the evening
foro she resolved not to bear the ills she Ind, and
consulted her friend, who not only advised her to
hy TO others that neithor of them knew anything
Of but for companys sake agreed to fly with her.
An immense bull ling IS in process Of erection at
| the conner Of Broadway and Seventeenth Street,
ands extending through to Fourth Avenue, to be
used for tho great Catholic fair. Tho park to
which this building is contiguous was bequeathed
to the dty on the condition that it should never bo
obstructed oy the erection Of any building around
it, and it is said that the heirs Of the tesator may
bring suit for the recovery Of the property on ac-
count Of tho alleged infringement OF the contract.
Az the building is only to be temporary, however,
it is probable that tho heirs may gain nothing by
tho insane attempt to make fortune out of tho
affair.
| DION BouRc1cAuLT's "Flying Scud" hns been
brought out at WALLAoK's theatre in tho most ef-
fective STYLE So far as the plot and dialogue OF
tho play are concerned, it is nothing that SuAKs:
pEARE might have envied, or BEAUMONT and
ELEranERr or SaEaDAAbs -arond ef, it does not
efcn reflect much credit on the author himself,
vet it is one Of tho bcst horse dramas ever put
upon the stage, and tho scono in imitation ofa
Derby race is capital in tho extreme. -
The Imperial Troupe of Japanese acrobats,
tumbIers and top spinners, arc announced to ap-
pear ut tho Academy Of Music on next Monday
night Their performances are said to be go won-
derful as to border Oil the miraculous, and, al
though it takes something particularly great to
exc te tho eamuscpent-satiated people of this wide
awake metropolis, it is, nevertheless, true that the
curiosity of tho multitude 10 tho great Japan
csc circus men is such as promises an cXtraordi-
nary rich harvest OF greenbacks to the managers.
R1sToar begins her farewell engagement on next
Thursday night, but great as she is tho excitement
has protty nearly died out and people will not rush
to see hqr az thoy did during hor engagement last
winter Yet is tho eminent tragedienne quite as
we'll worth seeing now as then; but thus it is with
the people OF New. York, who il the Messiah wore
to como here, would grow tired Of him in a month
| or two.
The steady decline in cotton has even shaken
tho confidence of those whose rule it is to purchase
during panic or in any rapidly falling market.
Tho lato news however, from Liverpool, has ra'-
Lied the market little, but it is feared that there
will be another reaction. The gold market has
been very excited and tho huctuation great and
sudden. Business generally pretty much as dull
as ever. MOUITRlE.
