MARRIAGE

Reflect that q sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without these the journey
through rn life becomes weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkens to the view, the mind
becomes shadowed with despair, and filed with
the melancholy reflection that tue happiness OF
another is bli9hted with our own.

4 Nice Lille Game,

1t is currently reported that the State
supervisors and commissioners of election
for St. James, parish are trying to play a
cunning little game on the Republicans
there.
They claim to have first been intimidated
into counting under duress, and that after
this had been safely achieved tand a goodly
Republican majority rolled upj, that all
their records and evidences Of the results
were stolen.
AtHdayits, we are informed, to the above
effect. were made yesterday, but the game
is too weak to win. Il is repetition of the
Camp Parapet dodge, N reporting which,
we predicted was but the precursor of
others of similar character. If such
stories and joos are to count in the results,
there is not d single Republican parish in
Louisiana but may be thrown out.
/! the worst comes 20 the worst, and in
no other way can the rights Of the people
be protected these frauds must be met
under the laws with force, and let the per
petrators Of the 0utrages be taught bitter
lesson that vii! serve to warn future
election managers from following in their
footsteps.

The Mixed Commission British III
American Claims-Delano,s Return.

The NEixed COmmissiOn-Brftish and
American Claims-DeIano's Return.
WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE mixed
commission on British and American claims
have dismissed, on demurrer, the case of J.
+. Magride against the United States. The
facts are, the latter demurred to a memo
rial of the claimant on the ground that he
had no standing as a British subject, having
been born in the United States, and being
by the laws of this country a citizen of the
United States, and at the time of alleged
injuries domiciled within the United States
The British Consul replied to this demur-
rer that the claimant was born in Pennsyl-
vania, of parents who at the time of his
birth were subjects of her Britannia majesty,
and who at the date Of the mem0rialist's
birth were on visit to the United States,
but within few weeks after his birth re
turned to England taking the memOrialist
with them where he was christened and
educated and under the control of his father
during his minority. Upon arriving at the
age OF maturity he has always claimed and
adhered to his allegiance as a British sub
jeCt, and neither his father nor his mother
ever ren0unced their allegiance to Eng
land. 1t was therefore contended that such
person is undoubtedly. by the law of Great
Britain, a British subject, as the child of
American parents born abroad, under such
circumstances, would be an American citi-
zen, and this has never been doubted, The
reply to the demurrer infers that this com
mission is meant to go no further than to
declare that Alexander, whose case was
cited in the demurrer, had an American as
well as a British nationality by force of the
statute Of Kentucky, wlAch declares that
all persons born within the State are citi-
zens> thereof, and that under the circum-
stances Of that case Alexander had not
made such an election as entitled him to
prefer his claim as a British subject.

| graveFs, and by two or three custom tallOrs.
| Efforts to stay the progress of the flames
| were unayailing, and in less than half an
| hour the magnificent block on the corner of
| Washington and Summer streets was
doomed the flames leaped from the win
| dows and cured themselves about the cor
| nices and soon the vasG pile was in a shrOud
of flames. One gas explosion followed an
other in rapid succession.
Several soldiers and tiremen were pros
trated, and several were severely injured.
A special train from Manchester, New
Hampshire, which arrived in the city at five
O'Clock Monday morning, brought two
steam engines from the AmOskeag Works,
and hose carriage with men enough to run
all three. One steamer was a sefpropeller
and worked very handily. The men were
fresh and went TO work with great zeal.
Among the arrivals was an engine com
pany OF seVenty-fVe men from BiddefOrd,
Name.
The range Of three-story brick buildings
lately occupied by Jordan & Marsh, but
within few days taken possession Of by
Crosby & Morse, who were to throw the
whole into a grand store in connection with
their Washington street establishment,
took fire, and was very soon in flames.
Down Sumner street the flames crept
along steadily and at two o'clock only one
building remained between the fire and c.
=. Hovey s. Company's building.
Had the proper authorities shut off the
gas from the whole burned district early on
Sunday morning the present dreadful vista
ton would have been avoided; all the prop
erty along the line of Washington street,
which has now been destroyed, would have
been saved had not explosions given flames
fresh encouragement.
The fire was finally got under control az
SIX O'Clock yesterday morning, it having
been confined to the block between Sumner
and Avon streets.
A fireman fell from the top of building
on Sumner street
Perfect order was maintained in the
streets.
There were three explosions of gas at half
past three o'clock
