The Death Knell and Its Philosophy

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. May IL
While we are writing, the bells are
tolling the death knell Of the murderers
of Mr.. Hughes, and not a voice is raised
in opposition to their execution. The
justice of the punishment reconciles the
public sentiment to the legal tragedy.
But that is not always so. Had these
men been negroes they would not have
suffered death. They would, had they
been blacks, have been acquitted or
punished by imprisonment in the peni.
tentiary AS they we're whites, they
we're hung. That is the truth
Just like the case in Loudon county,
Va, the past week A negro was con.
victed of raping young girl under the
most aggravating circumstances, and,
on conviction, was sentenced to the
penitentiary instead of to the gallows
The Judge, while admitting the enormity
of the offense, and that the death of the
negro was what the law demanded, con-
fessed that military despotism ameliora-
ted punishments so far as crimes by
blacks were concerned. He said that,
had the perpetrator been white, he
would have no hesitation in consigning
the criminal to the gallows.
When the negro Mimms, convicted
and ordered to be hung for the murder
of white man on Baker street, in this
city, was to be carried into execution,
we know the extraordinary exertions
that we're made to save his life. he was
a black. The three hung to-day were
whites, and no efforts were made to
save their lives They we're poor whites.
Had they been poor blacks they would
not have been hung.

A Duel and its Consequences.

An amusing duel took place recently
about five miles from Havana. 1t origi-
mated in remark by man to his friend
on seeing lady coming out of church.
The lady was unknown to the person
making the remark, but happened to be
the others wife. A slap in the face was
the consequence, and challenge came
soon after. This was accepted, and the
seconds selected place. The wife got
wind of the affair, and Immediately took
steps to prevent the dreadful catastrophe.
Her first thought was to notify the police,
but that might have given her husband
the reputation of coward, and she took
better methed by going to the house Of
the other party, where she met his
wife; and a plan was soon con-
coctsd between the feminines On
the morning appointed for the
duel, both husbands got up early; wives
ditto. Husbands took carriages, and
their wives-one armed with FIVE children
and the other with tLree-took other ve-
hicles in waiting. When the two duel
lists arrived at the spot they we're some.

Running Wild on Weddings.

The correspondent Of the Charleston
Mercury writes from New Ysrk that the
month succeeding Easter Sunday, in
which we have now entered, will be one
Of the most extravagant, especially in
wedding expenditures. He says:
New York is positively running wild
on weddings The fashion papers an
nounce the approaching nuptials of
about a dozen Of the fairest bellies in the
city, and it is fair to suppose that an
equal number of swains will be made
too happy to dwell any longer on earth.
Fashionable weddings are now con.
Quoted on a scale of royal magnifcence.
An expenditure Of ten Thousand dollars
on a bridal outfit is a common occur
renee. From six to ten bridesmaids are
often seen following a fair one TO the
altar, and they are sometimes arrayed as
magni6cently as the bride herself One
young lady who was married few days
ago wore a lace veilthat oosttwo thousand
in gold, and another whose nuptials took
place a short time Lefore, wore q point
lace veil and q aounce Of the same ma
ierial, which cost seven thousand dollars
When matrimony is commenced in this
style il is not difficult TO imagine the
exiravAgance likely to follow.
