Fatal nuel at New Orleans.

A due was fought at New Oileans last
Saturday morning, at eight o'clock be-
tween Louis e. Moussier and j. L. law
son. The weapons were small swords,
and the meeting took place little below
the levee. 10 the presence OF, two or three
huudred soldiers, Moussier, the survivor
makes the following statement: 'Once
on the ground, [ hestated some time at
ter the swords were drawn, about fighting
ana attempted to avoid difficulty. Il
was not until he had cursed me, and run
the point OF his sword against my hand,
that | made any lunge at him Whatever
Upon first going on the ground | had
stuck my sword into the leyee bank, and
repeatedly told him he had no provoca-
ton for fighting. Finally when he had
several times cursed NE, the fight com
nenced in good earnest. Twice, then,
after this commenced, and when / had
twice parted bis lunges, | attempted to
end the difficulty. | then made a thrust
at him with my sword, and the point
passed between the second and third rib
in the left side, penetrating his heart.
Lawson, who had ten or twelve OF his
friends with him, was then carried to a
carriage. Before he reached this, bis
surgeon IN attendance announced that he
was dead, | was thereupon arrested BIZ
an officer in charge Of the Barracks who
had been a witness to the fight, and
brought to the city, though subsequently
released.

DOES IT PAY TO ADVERTISE 2-To
business men of every class this is a
qu~estiOnOf no ittleimportance,a las total
failure or complete success is often the
issue. AyOung man, just emaneipa-
ted from parental control, is about to
embark in business on his own ac-
count. He has had q good stock of
merchandise on hand for sale, but be-
ing only a beginner, he has little pat
rOnage, What should he do2 Why,
advertise. If anybody knows him,
let him make himself known A
newspaper advertisement, j~udiciously
drawn up, and, if necessary, nealy IL
Illustrated, and given to a proper me-
dunn, will often suffice to make sue
cess almost certain. A good adver-
tisement will ring louder than q any
bell, and is the staff of life in trade,

Advertising enables a business man to
place his goods before the eyes of
thousands who otherwise wOuldneveT
know of their existence, or that of the
owner. 1t is we'll known among our
most successful merchants that liberal
advertising not only PAYS but is in-
dispensible to the economical and sue
eessful working of their lestablish-

The Senate, in evening session,
passed the bill to secure the interests
of the United States in the Pacific
Railroad. The bill provides that the
two roads shall meet at Promontory
Point; that Ogden shall be the COM
mon terminus, and that the road from
Ogden to PromotOry Point shall be
built by the Union Pacific Railroad,
and then be paid for and owned by
the Central Pacific.
The other provisions are that the
Union Pacific stockholders shall meet
at Boston on the 22d of this month,
and that eminent citizens in no way
connected with either road shall be
appinted by the President to examine
the whole line from Omaha to the Pa
cific coast, and shall withhold enough
OF the eubsidy to insure the completion
of the road in a first class manner.
The Attorney General is also direct
ed to examine wetheF the charters and
franchises ofthe companies have made
illegal dividends, and if so to institute
proceedings'to have them reimbursed;
and whether any directors, agents or
employees have violated any penal
law, and if so to institute criminal
proceedings against them.

Chief Justice Chase to-day rendered
the decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court in the case of the State of Texas
VS.. Geo. NJ. White, JnO. Childs, JnO.
A. Hardenburg and others. The orig
inal suit was brought by the State of
Texas to restrain defendants from re-
ceiving payment from the National
Government for certain 5 per cent
Texas indemnity of u. S. Bonds,
which plaintiff claim as belonging to
the State. These bonds as alleged,
were sold in 1865 and 1866 by the au-
thority of the insurgent Legislature
of Texas, and the reconstruction gov
eminent of the State now seeks to
prevent payment of the value of the
bonds to the holders deriving their
title through said insurgent legisla-
ture. i 81. gW -q
The opinion of the court which is
very long and able, concludes as fol-
lows: On the whole case, therefore,
our conclusion is that the State of Tex
as is entitled to the relief sought by her
bill, and a decree must be made ac-
cordingly.
The President sent in the following
nominations a. g.. Curtin, of Penn
sylvania, Minister to Russia; j. Jay,
of New York, Minister of Austria.

The effect of the recent action Ofthe
President and COngresso on reconstruc-
ton, especially in Virginia, is of the
mOstcheering character. Letters from
Richmond say that it seems as if a
load of depression had been lifted
from the spirits of the people, and that
the satisfaction with the action OfCOn-
gress will be well nigh unanimous, the
only exceptions being some few sullen
~reactiOnists who still harbOr the ghost
of the rebellion and spit on the flag.
Business is already reviving in conse-
quence, and the dOubtand uncertainty
which have resulted from their cha
Otie condition are being removed. The
people are already beginning plans for
the future, and prepare for a largely
increased business activity. 1t is be-
lieved that the material interests of
the State will be advanced many mill
lions by the action of Congress. :

ST. LOUIS HoarE JoURNAL.-The
enterprising prOprieters of the Home
Journal, have proved the fallacy Of
the assertion that a Literary Paper
can not be sustained in the West, and
their sprightly weekly have shown.
that the West has authors and poets
who are the peers of any in the realm
of letters. Original stories, sketches
and serials of absorbing interest fol-
low each other in rapid succession, and
we congratulate the Home Journal
on its un%equiyocal success. The sub
scription is only $500 per annum, and
as the publishers are offering great
inducements to canvassers we
would advise al, male or female who
wish light andprofitable employment
to address Sheffield, Eaton & Stone,
124 Pine Street, st. Louis Mo. for
particulars.

The Commissioners Of Richardson
Co., have submitted the question Of
giving $3.50, 900 in bonds, to the Trunk
and Nemaha Valley Railroads, to the
vote Of the people In aid OF this con-
struetion through the county. The
election will be he'd on the 10th day

run rs follows; The Trunk at OF IS
near as practicable through RuIo and
Arago. The Valley TO or as near as
practcble through Rulo, Falls City,
Salem and Humboldt. Ten miles
must be located in one year. Then
when one mile of road is graded the
County gives 20 the Company $500 in
Bonds, and when the ties are scatter
ed along the track of said grade, the
County furnishes said Company
another $500, and when the road is
completed for the rolling stock the
County furnishes to said Company the
further sum of $1,000, and so continue
to furnish bonds for every mile Of road
so constructed in the County, in like
sums, until they exhaust the whole
$3.50 900. The bonds are to run TWEEN
ty years and not longer than thirty
years, and bear eight per cent. inter
est. No bonds to be issued to any
Company that does not commence
their work within n year, and no
bonds to be issued after the expiration
of five years. A tax is to be levied for
