whether Intentionally or not, inflicted upon

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-A Washington
dispatch says Mrs. Myra Clarke Gaines. of
New Orleans, has been before the sub=eoma
mittee ii the case of Judge Duroli, and that
bsr testimony is regarded as of such a char
acter as to require the prompt presentation
Of articles of impeachment. Mrs. Gaines,
it seems, had conversation about Darrell
with her lawyer, Stone, who said aIte
Durell) will sit upon your cases and de-
eide in your favor, upon certain conditions,
which are, that Sheriff Parkes retains in his
hands S2l,000, for making streets in tie
property litigated for by the Union Compa-
ny, the heirs Of Cavalier Davenport and
Mrs. Gaines, Durell can arrange it if you
viii give him twenty thousand dollars.
Nine thousand dollars you can have. The
remainder is to be given TO the above
named heirs, and every other lot in the two
squares designated is also to be given to
Dureil." Subsequently, at The house of
Norton, the assignee in bankruptcy, Mrs.
Gaines met Dureil, who, when asked why
he could not sit in her cases, referred her
TO Norton. Meeting that official, he said to
Mrs. Gaines, that # she would consent to
the proposition made to her by Mr.. Stone,
the day before, Judge Durell would sit in
her cases.

We extract from the Christian Register the
following graceful tribute to the memory of
Miss Nellie III. Davis, which will be greeted
with sympathy and recognized as a just por-
trsiture by many in this city who knew aud
loved her:
A brief, pure and happy life closed on earth
July 81, 1874.
1t is only month since we knew that she
was past recovery; and even now more than a
week has gone since we laid her in her grave
by the side of her mother. 1t all came so
quickly as to seem unreal-to some of us
scarcely possible; and even now is ''like
dream when enc awaketh.' She seemed to
fade and slip away out of our hands in a mo-
ment. She was a beautiful girl, delicate in her
frame, very sensitive in her feelings, giving to
her friends most unstinted affection; a great
memory, active mind, and lively Imagination;
dstrustful of her own powers, retiring and
silent mostly, shy with strangers, but very
bright and witty at times with familiar friends,
a delight and study to them. She was not
known to large circle, but held most precious
by those who did know her, and who were
softened and made better by her loving words
and deeds. Her forbearance with others, her
mindfuness of their pleasure and comfort and
her patience in her own sufferings were re-
markable-a. perpetual lesson. Beyond all
conscience quick and firm, aud she guarded
her lips and shaped her life by strict rule of
duty. Heaven lay about her, not in infancy
only but as long as she walked with us here.
The flowers which thickly covered her new
made grave are but types of the love and bless
ing which. from all who knew her. 'follow her
up to peace and Joy forever"
