Andrew Ruff, a Painters Hangs
Himself Twice.
This morning, between the hours Of b
and 6, the neighborhood of Hamilton
Road and Elder street was putinto ter
rible state of excitement by the discoy-
cry that man we'll known in that
vicinity had hanged himself. The par
ticulars in the case are the following:
Andrew Ruf, boss painter, who lives
In the third story of No. 1926 MoMicken
avenue, above the wine-house OF Frank
Reif, ST., had sum oi money placed in
the hands of Reif. Some days ago the
latter made an assignment, and this so
affected Ruf that he thought he would
not be able to survive the loss OF his
money.
He told his wife almost every day
that he had determined to kill himself.
His wife. from his actions, found that
they were no idle threats, and conse-
quently kept continual watch upon
her husbands movements. About .
O'Clock this morning, in his room, her
fears were aroused, and she at once got
up and saw the horrid spectacle-her
husband hanging to the bed-post, al
most breathing his last. She secured a
knife and cut him down.
he soon recovered and told her he
was determined to live no longer, and
that there was no use for Interference
on her part. Shortly after he became
quiet and went TO the yard. His wife
dId not miss him. Ruf had used a clothes
line in his first attempt, and took an
other rope with him to the woodshed.
He then placed the moose around his
neck unnoticed by any one.
About hall-past O'Clock Jos. Bath,
who lives in the same house. went to
this shed TO get some kindIing. He mad
lighted candle with him, and saw Ruf
hanging there dead. He Immediately

THANKSGIVING.

In another column will be found a
proclamation of Gov. Nichols, appoint
ing the tenth day Of May as a day OF
Thanksgiving and prayer. The people
from enc end Of Louisiana to the other
will respond to the Governors procla-
nation and observe the appointed day.
No people in the civilized world have
greater cause just now for Thanksgiving
to God than those Of this State. After
many years OF war, followed by cruel
oppression and the most wretched and
ruinous misgovernment, they have at
last been emancipated and left free to
enjoy the blessings Of republican gov
eminent. They should be glad, and
thew should manifest their gladness.
But they should also thank the God Of
Nations who has delivered them from
the bondage Of tyrants and the oppres-
sions Of thieves.
1t will be sublime spectacle to see
the whole people Of this State together
kneeling in prayer and then lifting their
voices in praise to Heaven: but H. Will
be one not uniting the occasion.

RETURN OF THE COMMISSION
The Conn m iskiOners very well PIeaed |
with their Werk.

with their Wsrk.
WASHINGTON, April "a. The Louisiana
Com missioners returned this morning,
weary and footsore, and are unanimous
in the opinion that they have had d
rough job, and accomplished great
things. The announcement of their
presence, armed with o report OF their
proceedings, temporarily broke up the
Cabinet meeting, and they were formal
ly received. Tonight the Cabinet and
Com mission were entertained at dinner
by the President.
Gen. Hawley gaid to reporter that
they are all tired out, anddo not care TO
be on any more commissions. When
Shey arrived at New Orleans both par
ties gave them the cold-shoulder, re-
garding them as interlopers; but that
feeling gradually wore off, and they
were able to get down to the hard wo.k
before them. Gen. Hawley thinks there
will be no further need Of troops in
Louisiana. "But there may be some
fighting now and then, as the people
expect them to begood all at once"
Ex-Gov. Brown is enthusiastic over
the outcome Of the labors Of the Com
mission. There were no violent demon
strations, but everybody was on the
street, smiling and shaking hands, and
congratulating each other on the result.
He represents the business men as par
ticularly happy. All business has been
Frustrated by the uncertainty. Planters
have been unable to raise money in the
customary way by borrowing from the
factors on the security Of mortgages,
because the factors did not know who
would prove to be the legal recorders Of
the mortgages. Now all these troubles,
which ramify into every branch OF bust
ness are removed. The planters will be
able to raise money to plant, and bust
ness will revive.
Gov. Browns opinion OF the amount
of labor performed by the committee
accords with Hawley's, and he says fur
Their, that the Commission has worked
very harmoniousiy. Most Of the talk
concerning the Commissions labor Was
over the dinner this evening, which was
prolonged until il o'clock.

THE LAW AS A MORAL CODE.

Many OF the decisions of the present
Supreme Court Of Louisiana have been
characterized by the highest judicial
ability, and an impressive vigor and ele-
gance Of style. But these are not their
only merits. The law should be a code
Of the highest morality, and 1t ought,
therefore, to be interpreted in a spirit
OF the most delicate sense Of honor.
This has been done by the present court.
and when one reads its decisions he be-
gins once more to realize that law is
founded on common sense, truth, and
the soundest principles Of justice.
These crude and hasty observations
are suggested by q decision which now
lies before us, recently read by Chief
Justice Manning, and from which we
make the following extract, the sound
morality OF which will impress the
reader even more than the terse and
elegant language in which it Is clothed !:
"Unhappily for the cause OF public
morality, there is no law which shall
vigorously prevent the alienation OF
property by debtor, In the face OF an
impending judgment OF his creditor.
But the alienation must be real. There
must be no reservation, either express
or implied.
"The unreality and stimulation OF the
alienation in this case Is apparent at
every stage Of the proceeding.
1.-THE law has been too recently and
elab orately announced by us, in other
cases presenting similar questions. to
be here repeated. 1t seems to be
thought that person who desires to
screen his property from the pursuit OF
creditors has only to give his alienation
the semblance of verify, or, to use the
popular phrase. has only to put 1t In
another's name, to battle the efforts OF
creditors to subject it to their claims.
We shall probably assist in dispelling
that illusion. Nothing can be a stronger
or more seductive invitation to the COM
mission Of fraud than its impunity, after
repeated Preparations under the forms
Of law. Successful dishonesty encour-
ages imitation, and repetition Of acts by
which the law Is eluded, saps public
morals, and impairs the public con-
science, more than those by which the
law is detied."
