A Shadow Of Twenty Years.

A terribly grim family tyrant in West
Troy, N. Y, has just been left alone.
He had been married to good woman
twenty years The first ten years five
children came into the home, and clouds
and storms, and domestic terror. The
husband was in the habit of beating the
wife shamefully, knocking her senses out
of her, and then calling the neighbors
and telling them she had fallen and hurt
herself He succeeded in convincing the
neighbors that she had fits and they be-
lieved him to be tender and kind. At
one time he had made arrangements to
send her to lunatic asylum, when an
incident occurred which stopped these
proceedings. She was sewing IN her sit
ting-room one day when her husband
came in, snesked up behind her, and with
his fist knocked her senseless on the floor.
The brute then went out to call the
neighbors as usual. But one of them, a
lady, was in the house unknown to him
and witnessed the assault. Her evidence
opened the eyes of the neighbors to the
wrong in that house. They had the man
arrested and tried. Before the court the
woman told the truth about their domes-
tic life, but pleaded for the release Of
sufferer and would try to stand her treat
ment. But the court sentenced the man
to imprisonment for some months. He
said to her as he was passing from the
courtroom to the Jail: Il will never
speak to you again on earth" That was
ten years ago. He came out Of Jail and
went home, but spoke no word to his
wife. She spoke TO him directly about
family matters, and he sent her messages
by one of the children when it was
necessary to reply. So she lived and
suffered for ten more long years A short
time ago the doctor and u preacher, who
had been called, told the man that his
wife was on her death.bed, and asked
him to give her few happy hours be-
fore she died. He relented, went and
threw himself on his knees at his wife's
bedside He spoke to her, called her by
name and asked her to forgive him. She
| took his hand and forgave him. He left
her bedside no more. Her last words to
| him were: THE last two days of my
life have been the happiest, and hope
| they will be the beginning of happier
| days for you" An hour after she was
| dead Can the man ever be happy with
the memory of that twenty-years' shadow
he made?

ANOTHER BURGLARY.
Recovery of Valuable Silverware.

A suspicious character by the name John
Moore was arrested on st. Charles, near
Common street. yesterday by bank detec-
tive Thos Boylan, on the suspicion of having
committed a robbery of Pescay's jewelry store
in Houston, Texas, a branch of Tyler's.
Upon search it was discovered that he had
upon his person several valuable pieces of
silver, and close inspection of the articles
elected the fact that they bore the trade mark
of E. A. Tyler & Co.
This disclosure was but the finishing touch
to a well authenticated case of burglary, as
during the day it was ascertaned that the
same individual had offered for sale to Mr.
Brette, q broker on ST. Charles street, near
Canal, some forty pieces Of silver, all bearin G
the same trade mark.
Mr. Brette suspecting that all was not right,
gave the man a receipt for the goods, defer
ring payment for them until later in the day.
In the interim he informed Capt. Boylan of
the affiir, who easily fastened the crime on
Moore rom the fact that he was known to be
identified with the Houston robbery
The silverware was taken possession of by
Capt. Schneider, chief of detectives, and the
man was lodged at the First Precinct Station
on the charge of larceny Of 500 worth of
silver

GIVEN TO EARTH.
The Funeral of Harmon DOane.

The mortal remains Of Harmon Doane were
last evening borne from the door of his late
happy home, and laid at final rest in the CITY
OF the Dead. 1t was not an imposing pro-
eession that followed the inanimate form of
this good man to its final resting place, but it
was made up of those who knew him when
living. and loved him for those qualities
which make man noble in the eyes of God
and man.
Repairing to the late residence Of the
deceased, on st. Joseph street, near Caron-
delet street, just before the hour appointed
for the funeral, there were found sorrowing
friends gathered in the hall-way, in the silent
and draped parlors, all assembled there to
pay the last sad tribute Of respect to him who
had been suddenly taken hence
At half-past 3 o'clock Bishop Wilmer ar
rived at the residence, and shortly thereafter
the remains were removed to st. PauTs
Church, on Camp street, where at that hour
there had assembled several hundred ladies
and gentlemen, friends of the deceased.
The casket was borne to the front of the
altar, before which in life he had so often
bowed in humble service, for he was for
many years a member of this church, and at
the time of his demise was o ve,tryman.
Bishop Wilmer held the funeral service and
read part of the fifteenth chapter of First
Corinthians.
At the conclusion of the service the casket
was borne from the church, and from the
hearts Of the hundreds who had there assem-
bled went forth silent bu. earnest prayer
for the peace Of the departed soul of Harmon
Doane The pal-bearers were selected from
his most intimate friends, and were Chas. j.
Leeds, M. Musson, Moses Greenwood, S. H.
Kennedy, E. A. Palfrey, Gen. r. L. Gibson,
J. r. Fell and Jas. Mcconnell The cortege
formed in front of the church. and presented
quite an array of carriages, and filing down
Camp street went slowly down Canal to the
Firemen's Cemetery.
Representatives from the Grand LODGE
Louisiana Lodge No. 1872, the Orleans Com
mandery No 3, Of which the deceased was a
member, also from various lodges of the city,
marched quite distance out Canal street,
where, hating, they received the procession
with open ranks. In the beautiful cemetery
known as the Firemen's, where many of our
old and most respected citizens lie sleeping,
he who had the love and esteem of all who
knew him, generous, noble Harmon Doane,

of a major general to that of private soldier. -

same are hereby repealed.
Adopted by the Council Of the city Of New
Orleans February 16, 1875.
CHARLES j. LEEDS Mayor.
A true copy:
J. II. HARDY, Secretary.
Though not definitely expressed, it is the
intention Of the Council to receive scrip Of
1874 for the taxes of 1873 and preceding
years, while the taxes Of 1874 will be, as be-
fore. payable only in cash. The scrip, So
called, Of 1874, consists chiefly of appropria-
lions, regularly made for city expenses for the
last seven months of that year. These unpaid
but adjusted appropriations are certified debts,
for which no warrants or certificates are
given by the city, but which the creditor may
assign or transfer to another as IN case of any
other debt. These written and recorded
transfers constitute the scrip or certificates
referred to in monetary reports, and these
transfers Of 1874 are to be received for the
taxes, etc, of 1873 and previous years.
Many creditors Of the city may be interested
in knowing that the absorption of part of
The debt Of 1874 will increase the value OF re-
naming claims. If half OF the. unpaid appro-
priations for June, July, August, September,
October, November and December OF 1874 are
thus absorbed and offset by the taxes OF pre-
ceding years. such absorption and extinguish-
ment will leave less to be paid out of the
taxes of 1874, and increase the probability OF
Y,avment.

THE BEARING OF THE PINCHBACK
CASE.

The following able and exhaustive argu
ment on the bearing of Pinchbacks admis.
sion on the question Of Kelloggs recognition
by Congress, will be read with interest:
IAN extract from the Minority Report, page
| Z, upon the seating of P. B. S. Pinchback as
Senator, February 18th, 1875
And here it is important to remember, in
order to avoid misconception, that in deter
mining this question in this or any similar
case, we are confined solely to powers con-
ferred upon this body judge of the elections,
returns and qualifications of its own members.
Within this scope we possess all power, and
our judgment is binding upon all, and cannot
be brought into question by any person OF
tribunal whatever but beyond this we cannot
go; our acts can only have reference to one
thing-whether the person chosen is entitled to
be member-our decision is only binding
when applied to this one particular fact; our
decision may be right, or it may be wrong
that is for us to bear.
But it does not bind other persons or other
departments Of the Federal or State govern
ments having other and different relations
with the Governor or Legislature, or both,
from contesting or confirming the rights of
either or both to legal existence. Our de-
CIotOu utIe udy UC Cl.cu W SuOW WuhC We
did, but it can be used only as an illustration
of what others thought and did, and not as
binding upon them, except, as we have be-
fore stated, upon the fact of Senatorship, in
which our jurisdiction is complete and final
and binding upon all. The decision Of this
body upon this question, be it what it may,
does not establish or disestablish the Kellogg
government, so as to affect or conclude the
rights of others not involved in the election
Of Senator itself.
The people of Louisiana may consider
themselves outraged by our action in receiv-
ing a Senator not elected by what they may
hold to be rightful Legislature; nevertheless
they are bound by it, because we have the
right to judge and determine; but will any
one pretend to say that this separate action Of
this body upon this high question, committed
exclusively to its jurisdiction, shall bind and
conclude any other person and any other de-
partment, either State or Federal, in their own
separate and distinct relations with this Legis-
lature, or as to any rights they may have as
against or instead of it? Surely not! There
fore, our decision does not vest single right
or confer a single power upon any other
human being save the person upon whom we
have passed and admitted to membership
upon this floor.

There was panic in a Paris street over
the conduct of a magnificent retriever in front
of the window of dealer in picture frames.
He jumped, yelled, barked, tried to throw
himself through the glass; and he was mad
of course. They were about to kill him, but
philosopher interfered. II seemed to him
that all these eccentriclties of the dog had
relation to a portrait in the window. So it
proved. All this was joy at sight of the por-
trait of lady. That lady lived in Marseilles,
and the dog had been stolen from her many
months before. Strange chance to find his
way home by the picture placed there casually
to exhibit the frame.
