OF the minority OF the voters Of the District is
shown by the returns az given in the decision,

A PERSONAL MATTER.

From the Galaxy.l
The assertion that Mr.. and Mrs. Cad
waIlader Tapscott seemed to have been
made for each other conveys but a feeble
idea Of that atmosphere of blissfuI tran
guilty which settleddown on their early
married life. Nomother-in-law profered
M-timed advice in the settlement Of
household difficulties, no impecunious
cousins tugged at the strings of their
Joint purse. Moreover, husband and
wife were scrupulously considerate of
each others comfort. Cadwa1ader never
brought any Of his business annoyancesI
home withhin; they were carefully lock-
ed up over night IN the iron safe at his
Office. When he donned his great coat.
to go up town, the nyesture was magical
in its effect, transforming ''Tapscott,
Esq, the merchant, " into ''Caddy, dear, ,"
the husband He in no wise lost his re
ward His wardrobe fairly bristled with
buttons, and shone with salutary stitches;
his slippers were ina state of caleficence
before the library CRATE; tardy meals and
bad coffee were unheard Of; butcherand
grocer, plumber and gas collector were
promptly paid out Of the allowance set
apart for that purpose; Cynthia mended
her own gloves and made her own bon
nets, evinced mavelous act IN managing
servants, arranged her own hair without
resort to curl-papers, and never appeared
in her lords presence minusa collar. In
short, the conjugal felicity of this model
couple was as nearly perfect as anything
earthly could be; the stream Of their ex-
istence presented surface as unrufed
as that of a meadow brook; days came
and went, and were nodded into weeks,
weeks gliding by in their turn became
months, and the months were already
fast approaching twelve before a cloud
rose above the marital horizon.
The Tapscotts seemed so entirely and
indissolubiy unit that their friends had
dubbed them the Siamese Twins. They
gloried in having no separate secrets
Each being blessed with a rather inquis-
tive and jealous disposition, it had been
deemed advisable ON their wedding day
to arrange this matter on an equitable
basis, and to the resolution then formed
they boasted that they had igidly ad-
hered. At first, In an excess of frank
ness, they were wont to exchange conf
dence respecting the most trivial cireum-
stances of their daily lives, but soon be-
gan to omit sundry annoying details of
business transactions or domestic eeono-
my, these omissions were followed by
others, till, at length. their conversation
assumed some resemblance to that ordi-
narily indulged in by married people
The anniversary of their wedding was
fast approaching, when Mrs. Tapscott's s
acute sense discerned-or she fancied
she did-a singular change in her hus-
bands manner. It had crept over him
so gradually as almost to have escaped
her observation. He grew abstracted
and thoughtful over his newspaper; and
sometimes, when she had come suddenly
upon him, she found him chuckling mys-
teriously to himself. Mr. Tapscott, with
sensibilities less refined and delicate,

A REQUIEM.

BT PELEG ARKWRIGHT.
That dorg was every inch dOrg,
He knowed his duty straight;
He never missed a fight or fire,
Nor never turned up late.
My heart is broke, I'm much disturbed,
He WIS the steadfastest pup
That ever spoke for scraps of meat
Or chawed liver up.
There's many dorgs that useless is,
Gould better have been spared;
But though he's dead, my comfort is,
1 think he was prepared.
My heart is broke, Tn much depressed,
He was the earnestest pup
That ever sot upon his tail
And cooked his left ear up.
He took his part with other dorgs-
He never shirked, not he,
His comrades to investigate,
Nor missed post or tree.
Ny heart IS broke, I'm much annoyed,
Gle was the checklist pup
That ever growled about bone
When other dorgs come up.
He never failed, on no account,
Old women to annoy,
And organ grinders to torment
Was his erpecial joy.
My heart his broke, I'm much distressed
He was the cheerfullest pup
That ever tored a lady's skirt
Or chawed a slipper up.
For cats he had q great sympathy,
And showed it in a way
That made EN- glad to see 'em round
Most any time O. day.
My heart is broke, Tn much concerned
He was the Iveliest pup
That ever freed a Thomas cat
. . Or chawcd kitten up.
For settin' hens his feelin's was
Jocose to a degree;
He made 'em take new interest In
This world of misery.
My heart is broke, I'm much oppressed
He was tine persistentest pup
That ever chased a rooster round,
Or ohawed a chicken up. y
He's gone. The world is dark and drear
I'm SO sad and lonely now,
And gloomy retrospection sits
Upon this achin' brow. -
My heart is broke, I'm much chagrined,
He was the affectionest pup
That ever wagged friendly tail
Or coughed a breakfast up.

FIVE MEN HUNG.
THE LAW VINDIt ATED.

Ere this reaches the readers eye five con-
victed men will have been launched into eter-
nifty, in expatiation for their crime. The details
of the horrible deed for which they have been
executed is probably still fresh in the
memory Of most for it is but few months
ago that the bloody deed was done.
A man by the name Of Eastwood, engaged
along Bayou Lafourche in trading with plant
ers from his boat on the morning of the 25th
of April, about 2 o'clock, stopped near Napo-
leonville and tied his boat up until daylight.
little later and those living in the vicinity
loud knocking at their door. In response the
inmates rushed out to learn that the trader
was being beaten on board his boat. Hurry
ing thither, they found his ifeiess corpse
near which was a wounded colored woman
who was employed on the boat.
The testimony showed that the foul act had
been com united by six negroes, named James
Rob nson. John and William Ross, Tom An
derson, Anderson Perry and James Williams
who were arreste l, and, after nolle prosequi
had been entered in favor of VIM. Ross who
turned States evidence, the rest We're con-
vcted. Kellogg signed their death warrants
and yesterday was fixed for their execution.
THE EXECUTION.
The sheriff had prepared "A Sallows Of suth-
cient size to allow all Of these fends to swing
Oft together in the neighborhood of Napoleon
vile. Ample preparations were made for a
large guard Of deputies to prevent escape, and
all the usual preliminaries gone through with
Probably very large crowd from the neigh
boring parishes assembled yesterday, and
at given signal the drop fell and five ifeless
forms dangled between heaven and earth.
We do not propose to crafty the morbid
appetite Of those wao gloat over the horrible
by giving those sickening details always at
tendant on a scene like this. The men have
answered for their crime, and that is enough.

A Commercial Agency in Court.

The commercial agency of J. NJ. Bradstreet
& Co., of New York, has had a suit in San
Francisco which involves the question Of legal
privilege in mating adverse reports on the
finance standing OF business men. Fir ncis
& Valentine, a San Francisco firm. are the
plaintiffs. They say they were rated as sound
in the Bradstreet reports until they gave
tavors to a rival commercial agenc,. Then
they were put down at $50, which. accord
ing to the key, meant Subscribers must
apply at our Office for confidential informa-
ton" The plaintiffs assert that this was done
maliciously, with the deliberate intention OF
injuring their credit, and their demand is
for 500 600 damage.
Bradstreet a Go. S defense is that the publ
caton was not libslous. Judge Morrison, who
heard the case, has decided in favor Of the
plaintiffs ''Ihe language used against Fran
els & Valentine is not libelous per Sc, he ruled,
s'but when it is shown that the agency pub
lished it with intent to inure the plaintiffs, to
break down and destroy tn cir business, know
ing the matter to be false-and persons who
read the report understood it as meaning that
the firm was not of good credit-a good cause
Of action has been made out. Commercial
agencies cannot publish matter Of this kind
having covert meaning which is false and
done maliciously. without being held respon-
81 ole for damages sustained by the plaintiffs. "
