The st. Louis Republican on the Decision
in the Grant Parish Case.

It begins to look as though all the partisan
legislation under the Constitutional amend
ments is unconstitutional and void, and all
the violence committed by United States mar
shals. commissioners and troops under this
legislation has been wanton and without au-
thority of law. The courts are n " deciding
that the amendments are directed against
States, and that the laws against persons
enacted under them are void. The United
States Supreme Court decided the case Of the
United States ag ainst Cruikshank, Irwin and
Hadnot. from Louisiana, last Wednesday; it
came up on decision OF the lower court, be-
ing case under the Enforcement act.
The main question was whether persons
found guilty OF conspiring to prevent duly
qualified citizens from voting are guilty Of
crime against the United States. The court
decided that the indictment could not be sus-
tanned under the Enforcement act, nor under
the fourteenth amendment: the State Of Lou
isiana had passed no liw abridging any Of the
rights Of citizens, and there was therefore.
no violation Of the amendment. The cour.
remarked: ..#
The object OF the amendment was to re-
strain the States. not the Inhabitants of the
States, as assumed by the government. The
consequence Of aconclusion being adopted as
law tina. the provisions Of the Constitution
are addressed to each and every inhabitant,
| would be heentire subvtrsal Of the ins.itu-
| tons of the States, and the immediate consol-
idation Of the whole land into a consol-
idated empire, whose authority and processes
would wholly disregard the limits aud laws Of
the States.-St. Louis Republican, 9Th inst.

A SCHOOL ATTACHE HANGS
HERSELF,
The Supposed Cause.

Between the hours Of ard 9 yesterday
morning Mrs. Eliza Beauregard, FORTRESS q
the Mccarthy Public School, situated on
Pauline, between Royal and Chartres Streets
committed suicide by hanging herself.
Immediately reporter OF the BULLETIN
hastened to the spot, and was conducted to a
small out house Just to the left and in the
rear of the school-house which had been oc-
cupied by the deceased.
Upon passing through the bed room,
he was ushered into the kitchen, where
melancholy sight met his gaze. Attached to
the door leading into the yard was piece Of
coarse hemp-twine, the other end, which was
made into moose passing around the untor-
tunate womans neck, and there she hung
with her face mashed against the glass door.
A chair stood by her side upon which she
must have stood to fasten the cord to the
upper bolt Of the door, and then having it
firmly fixed Jumped from the chair and
broken her neck Immediately, as from the APP
pearance Of the hands she could not have
suffered great deal as they hung by her side
in natural position.
Upon inquiry the following facts were
cleaned: Mr.. Graham, the principal OF the
school, says that the deceased this morning
attended to her duties in the school, and had
every thing in perfect order and then went
into her room.
A few moments after one of the scholars
came running in to him and said : Mrs.
Beauregard is lying up against the door OF
her kitchen, and can't move Mr. q. then
ran out, and upon seeing the position CT the
deceased, thought that she had fallen against
the door in fl, but upon closer examination
discovered the cord, when the truth burst
upon him.
He also states that Mrs. Beauregard has for
sometime past suffered from disease OF an
unknown nature, and has been melancholy,
not even answering when spoken to, and
often appeared to be out of her mind. That
she said nothing to any one concerning tue
rash deed hat she intended committing and
no one ever suspected her.
The Coroner, who had been summoned, at
that moment came in, when the body was cut
down. The nose and mouth from being
crushed against the door, was distorted ter
ribly, and the face presented terrible
aspect.
From investigation at the inquest it was
found that the lady was tifty-one years old,
native of Amsterdam, Holland, and has re-
sided in New Orleans for some twenty-seven
years. She leaves three children to mourn
her loss
The Coroner's jury returned the following
verdict:
"That the deceased came to her death by
hanging herself, in fit of temporary insani-
ty, superinduced by previous severe illness

4 Change in the Presidential Policy
Towards Mexico.

Washington dispatches indicate that our
government is contemplating a change Of
policy in dealing with the Mexican govern
ment on the questions presented by the raids
of Mexican citizens into Texas. It is semi
otficialy stated that the President is about to
demand reparation in money tor the loss of
life and injury Of property incident to the
depredations Of which Gov. Coke has made
such earnest complaint. The movements Of
troops ordered or foreshadowed, show also
that the Texan frontier is to be better pro-
tected than heretofore, if indeed our lines are
not extented into Mexican Territory. Y.

The column of water struck the dwelling

the lady alluded to. besides slightly
wounding several others. Ayoung baby.
which was in the upper story Of the
building at the time Of the accident, has
never been seen or heard of since. We
learn that Mason Gaskill, the young man
mortally wounded, was Of the most ex-

and loved by all who knew him. The
affair has created the greatest excite
ment in the surrounding country, and
has cast gloom over the entire land.

Last winter, in our own little circle,
We spent some very pleasant evenings.
We met, as have described, al one an
others houses, and spent the time in
making speeches-in this way. As soon
as we were all assembled a tray was
passed round, and each person present
put in ticket, on which he had written
down a subject, and these were well
shaken together. Numbers one, two,
three, four, five, &c., one for each, We're
then drawn for, and the gentleman or
lady who had taken number one stood
up, drew subject, and at once COM
menced speaking on it. He was allow
ed three minutes only, and as soon as
he had finished number two took his
place; and this continued until all had
spoken. When We first met the three
minutes were found too long; but after
repeated trials greater tluency was al
tained, though not until there had been
some very amusing failures.
We constantly varied the programme
of the evening One night we had gem
eral election, when each one present So
licted the votes of the rest and declared
his views. One night we all came pre-
pared to relate the most peculiar Incl
dent that had happened in our individi-
al experience. On two or three Occa-
sions we chose particular author, and
each one gave and opinion of him. and
his works, with reasons and illustra-
tons. Another night we had discus
sion upon paper which was read by
one of our number.
Altogether we had some very inter-
esting evenings, and we are eagerly
looking forward to a repetition OF them.
l think one reason of their success was
that we always had something under
stood and arranged beforehand, SO that
the proceedings were not left to chance.
And not the least charm lay in the fact
that it afforded an opportunity for la
dies and gentlemen to do something to-
gether, and so that breaking up Of the
party into small companies, which has
so often been found to be unpleasant,
was avoided.-Phiilis Br0wne, IN Cas-
