A WILMINGTON NEw-MADE BRIDE AND GROOM IN
TROUBLE-PRIsoN WALLS LOOM UP BEFORE THEM
BUT THEY FINALLY DEPART IN PEACE.
On Tuesday, the Chester NeloS says, William
Dickinson, Of Wilmington arrived in that city
with girl whose name could not be ascertained
and repaired to the presence of clergyman, who
married them. The age Of the girl might be
twenty years, and IN appearance very preposses-
sing, while her intended husband was tolerably
good looking and only few years her senior.
Before calling upon clergyman, however
they took up temporary abode at the American
House, and with their departure were missed
two hymn books and an umbrella. The Chief
OF Police subsequently arrested them and brought
them before Alderman Clyde, who gave them a
hearing, and fined them the costs, omitting, un-
der the circumstances, the penalty OF imprison-
ment.
The faces Of the twain at once frightened up
at this disposal of the case, but as suddenly be-
came over-clnuded, for on making diligent search
the united financial resources of the couple only
amounted 10. The bride had one dollar safely
slowed away in her glove while her new made
lord and masters financial resources proved to
be only ten cents. This would never do. Glenn
ency had been shown, but to accept l.10 when
50 was tho lowest sum- could not be thought of ,
so William was locked up, until his bride COM
munlcated with his friends, and the ndspensa-
BILE currency could be produced.
The bride left for the depot on her way to
Wilmington, inconsolable, first casting an i'm
ploring look at the Squire That look haunted
his honor, and drive it from his memory he could
not. So he gave the order to the Chief for the
Iteration of William, and the delighted couple
eft for Wilmington, after bestowing their bene-
diction on Alderman Clyde.

The Louisiana Troubles.

THE LEGALITY OF THE IoNGsTREET RETURNING
BOARD AFFIRMED.
The Supreme Court Of Louisiana, yesterday,
rendered its decision in the case of the two Re-
turning Boards. The Court decides that it has
Jurisdiction Of the suit that the act signed by
Warmoth on the Goth of November, 1872 did
not repeal that part Of the Election law Of 1870
which created the Board of Returning Officers /;
that the Judge of the Superior Courts is de facto
Judge at least, thereby recognizing the Legisa-
ture sitting at the Mechanics Institute as legal,
and the appointment and confirmation Of Judge
Hawkins as valid and, finally, it decides
that the members Of the Lynch and Her
ron Board were the legal returning officers of
the Senate Of Louisiana. The decree OF the Court
was that Jack Wharton, Durant, Daponte and
Frank Hatch were intruders in office, and
their acts were illegal that the legal Returning
Board consisted of Longstreet, Heron, Haw-
kins and Lynch, with the Governor of the State,
and subsequently the same gentlemen, with the
exception Of George f. Bovee in the place of
Heron, who in the meantime had been rein
stated by decision of the Supreme Court.
