There appears to be nothing, how
ever bad, among men, that cannot be
turned to good account. There has
been late exemplifcation OF this pro-
position in New Orleans. There were
two murders committed, either OF
which, separately, in the eyes Of tine
law, was capital crime, but the two
taken together lett nothing TO say or do
in the premises, and the whole aft .ir
cannot but be viewed in the light Of a
public benefit.
John Henry and Perry Lyons we're,
years ago, friends and partners They
carried on the general rutfisn business
on a large scale, and were terror to
all pectable, peaceable citizens They
were always armed TO the teeth, and
seldom got through the twenty-iour
hours Of day ard night without fight,
and shooting and cutting somebody. In
the course OF time they committed sew
eral manslaughters and murders, and
were always successful in making a
safe retreat, or getting off on the plea OF
self-deiense. They were unconquera-
BILE, and it seemed probable that they
would be permitted to die natural
deaths.
Having subjugated New Orleans, and
there appearing to be nothing left in their
line to do, they removed their base Of
operations to the plains, and finally to
California. They ran the gauntlet Of
vigilance committees, and in time re-
turned to New Orleans, apparently to
enjoy the memory OF their conquest in
peace. A few days ago they sat down
at q table in q beer saloon, TO all ap.
pearance good friends, talking over old
and more prosperous times. 1t had been
long since they had been able to get up
cutting or shooting match with any
body, and life was q burden.
At length one Of them, handling a
match box, pressed down the lid II
snapped. The other said: Don't
snap your pistol at me-" The noise
seemed to fire them both with an eager
desire TO be at work, and at it they
went. They sprsng to their feet stimuli
taneously and one operated with a pis-
tol, while the other piled long Bowie
knife. 1t was their most successful
job. They very handsomely laid each
other out to the great joy OF all their
scq uaintances aud the whole commu,

showed what they were made for, and
demonstrated that they we're Of some

MADRID, November l3.-The Gov

insurrection in the province of Andalu-
sia, among a number OF disaffected in
habitants, who have been melted to
revolt by bands of Carlists lurking in
that vicinity. The depredations have
not as yet caused any serious alarm
and the Government having taken pre-.
cautions to suppress any organized
movement of the insurgents, it is not
thought probable that the insurrection
will reach formidable proportions.

NEW ORLEANS.
Meeting OF the Returuing Board-A
Lively Time.

Meeting OF the Returning Board-A
Lively Time
New ORLEANS, November l3.-On
Monday the Returning Board met in
the Governors Office to act upon the
returns Of the late election. There were
present the Governor, Lieutenant Cow
ernor Pinchback, acting Secretary OF
State Heron and Senator Lynch. After
organizing, it was moved that Lieuten-
ant Governor Pinchback, having been
a candidate in the late election, was
ineligible to discharge the duties OF a
member of the Returning Board. Lieu
tenant Governor Pinchback acquiesced
in this decision, on the presentation OF
the opinion OF Chief Justice Gudlin that
such was the law, and then retired from
the Board.
A like motion was made regarding
Senator Anderson, whereupon Governor
Warmoth suggested that as Senator
Anderson was absent it would be better
to postpone action in his case until
he could reach the city.
During the proceedings Senator
Lynch declared it to be his purpose to
eject all returns from the parishes and
polls of the city which were charged to
be fraudulent and illegal.
1t did not need this to put Governor
Warmoth on his guard as to the infa.
nous conspiracy which had been con-
cocted to cheat this people out OF their
rights and throw them into the hands
of Custom House cormorsnts. He was
fully prepared for their plot. Accord
ipgiy. when the Board met to-day,
(present, Governor Warmoth, Acting
Secretary of State Heron and Senator
John Lyuch,) the Governor, after the
reading OF the minutes, PRODUCED a Ger.
tifcate of the Auditor General showing
that Acting Secretary OF State Heron,
being defaulter, he had been compelled
by the constitution and laws to suspend
him from the exercise OF his functions
on charges which would be enumerated
to the Senators. Accordingly Secretary
of State Heron was requested to with
draw from the Board, which he did.
Governor Warmoth next presented
the commission and qualification for
the office OF Colonel JACK Wharton as
successor OF General Heron. Colonel
Wharton was in the ante.room. and on
being sent for promptly appeared and
took his seat in the Board.
Governor Wsrmot1 then proposed
the name of F. H. Hatch, as a substI-
tute for Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back, which motion WAS adopted by the
votes OF Governor Wsrmoth and Sec
retary of State Wharton, Senator
Lynch voting no.
1t was further moved that Durant
Dur onte he elected in place OF Senator
Thomas Anderson, which nomination
was adopted by the Board; whereupon
Senator Lynch retired.
Tne B ,ard being thus completed ac-
cording TO law, will proceed TO its duties.

the architectural periodical was again
taken up, and after some consideration
and amending was finally passed.
Mr.. Pfeffer offered the following:
Resolved, That the experience Of
Boston and Chicago serves to show that
it is Of the greatest moment to the COM
munity that some mode of constructing
fireproof roots, not too expensive, for
universal use, should be devised, and
the attention of architects and engineers
is invited to this important subject.
Adopted. .
The Maneard roof as now constructed
was generally discussed and denounced
by the members.
Mr.. Brown, of New York, offered
the following:
WHEREAS, The style Of roof called
Mansard is Justly held in great estima'
ton by architects on account OF the
opportunity it affords for available
space above the cornice line and for
extra effects,
Resolved, That q committee be ap-
pointed to prepare a paper setting forth
the best modes for preparing Mansard
roofs, which shall be as fireprool as
their substructure. Adopted.
