The Alleged Custom nouso Fraud

Erey EUening copies a paragraph from The
GAZETTE, of Saturday, referring to tie rumors
relative 10 alleged frauds, or rumors of frauds
that it denied few days ago, with gre at -four
ish OF trumpets and adds The folio wing comments
which the reader will perceive are intended 10
defend Collector Noen from rumors that som OF
the members OF the Republican party are charg-
ed with circulating But the defense is made in
s1ch vague and strange way that it reminds one
of the language of q lawyer lpon opening the
defense of a hard case, and therefore approached
it cautiously, all the time trying to mslcad his
hearers by referring to somebody else who was
cllpable. We certainly have no disposition to
disparage tho Collector Of the Port, and will give
him the advantage of what Every Ereninq saws
IN his defence
The Gazette thinks there ought 10 be an inyes-
ngauon. we have examined the matter enough
10 convince ourselves that an inye stigation will
develop nothing to prove the charge s, but even il
1t should prove them all true is 1T reasonabl g

in the GAZETTE seems to have created a grca

There are many reasons wh y thc Democratic
party has forfeited any claim to. cont inued control

That has been the opinion of the writer OF the

A LAWYERS ADVICE.

An Irisnman, by the name of Tom
Murphy once borrowed a sum Of
money from one Of his neighbors,
which he promised to pay in a Ger.
tain time. But month after month
passed by, and no signs of the agree
ment being kept, his creditor at last
warned him that if he did not pay it
on a certain day he should sue him
for il and recover by law. This
rather frightened Tom, and not be-
ing able to get the money, went TO
lawyer to get advice on the matter.
After hearing Toms story through
to the end, he asked him:
"Has your neighbor any writing
to show that you owe him this fifty
dollars
"Divil a word" replied Tom,
quickly.
"Well, then, il you have not the
money you can take your time at
all events, he cannot collect it by
law
THANK yer honor, much obliged,
said Tom, rising and going towards
the door.
aEloId on, my friend, said the
lawyer.
Fat for asked Tom. in aston.
ishment.
"You owe two dollars.
"'Fat for
why, for my advice, to be sure.
do you suppose live by charging
nothing
Tom scratched his head for me
lnent, in evident psrplexity, for he
had no money. At las, a bright i6ea
seemed IL strike him.
"An' hay wees any papers to show
that owes yees two dollars he
asked with twinkle in his eye.
sWhy, Of course not; but what
does that signify
Thin I'll jest be after takin' yer
own advice. an pay neither you nor
me neighbor !" saying which he lett
the Office and its occupant to medi-
tate on lawyer taking his own adj
vice and doctor taking bis own
medicine.

HOOK MY rRocK.

A day or two ago Justice Jecko,
OF st. Louis, received call from
young man and a young woman,
each Of whom was the bearer of a
portly carpet-sack.
"Be you the squire ~ asked the
young man, with an air Of difiidence.
II be. Do you want to get mar
ried3"
Eyes, sir. We want it done
right away, don't we, Mollie n
eyes Squire" said Mollie, "but
hain't you got a dressing room,
where can put on my bridal dress
anu tittivate a little I"
4 am sorry to say my bridal
chamber is crammed full of hobby
horses, toys, trinlsets and stuff seized
by constable from fancy store.
However, there il is, if you think
there is room enough for you to
dress"
The bride looked into the adjein,
ing Office, and declared that she
could make out to slip on her dress
in il. With carpt sack in hand, she
entered the lumber room and closed
the door The bridegroom asked for
another room, saying he had his
valise, and would like TO put them
on. He was told there was no other
room vacant, and that be would have
to take seat and wait until the
bride had enrobed herself and then
he could take his turn.
The young man sat down with an
air Of impatience, holding the car
pet-sack between his knees and
twisting his thumbs Constable
McKeary, whose appearance is that
Of Don Juan Of the most killing
type although in reality he 10 the
chastest man that ever chased a jury
man or replevined a widows parlor
furniture,) had been writing at bis
desk when the bridal party entered,
and now arose and passed into the
passage way leading down stairs
The young man with the carpet,
sack turned red in the face as he
saw the door close upon the con-
stable. He evidently thought Me-
Keary had gone into the store-room
where the bride was making toilet.
He became nervous, threw his car
pet-sack into the corner, arose, sat
down in another chair, and was
extremely fidgety. The more he
tried TO conceal his emotion the red
der his face grew. At length, un-
able longer to endure the agony Of
doubt and mistrust, he ran to the
door Of the store.room and entered.
A scream was heard, and then the
young man returned looking very
sheepish.
This rash act of the bridegroom's
came near breaking off the match,
but the Justice explained to the
bride that it was all mistake.
"Are you a married man, "Squ-
ire ~ asked the bride, putting her
face to crack in the door.
"Yes, | have been married ever
so long
"Well, then, | wish you would
just come in here and hook my
frock."
The justice complied with the
modest request, and in moment
the bride came out in gorgeous at,
tire, The bridegroom then entered
the room and made his toilet, and
when he returned the ceremony was
performed without delay. Then the
bride re>entered the store room and
changed her dress, and the happy
couple marched out with their car
highly elated.

dedicated to St. Thomas a-Beckot, and designed
ION seals equal to the importance Of the cause
for which he laid down his hfc.'
The Catholic Rerieto remarks that, "somc Of
these days. ne shall have our colored brethren,
VII en- they take occasion to reflect On the differ
ences between the code OF morals observed to-
ward them as slaves in States predominantly
Catholic and that elsewhere practiced, drawing
the obvious conclusion that the tree is known bv
its fruits, and that where doctrine is essentially
wrong, IS they have been taught to believe
Catholic doctrine to be- it cannot produce right
practice. The Catholic Church. which In Louis
iana enforced the rights Of Christian marriage
for Slaves and forbade the separation Of man
aud wife, iR the same Catholic Church which ages
ago abolished slavery in Europe, and which, to-
daJ,. knowE before her altar and in her priest
hood no distinction Of color or Of race"
