He is a native of Georgetown, but has been engaged for some time pest in the real estate business, with &p office in this city. From the style in which he lived, it was thought he was doing & very profitable business, and after the in- Vitations to bis wedding were issued some Weeks azo, (bis intended bride being the ighter of & wealthy gentleman of this city who has a country residence at Leesburg, Va.,) it was reported that he had charter-1a *pecial train of palace ears to carry several bundred invited guests from this city to Witness the marriage ceremony at the coun- try house of the bride’s father. As stated above, the calling in of the invitations made R stir in social circles,and was quickly fol- lowed by reports of serious financial em- barrassments and “irregularities” intended to conceal the same, which gave great pain to the friends of the young gentleman and his Intended wife and’ their respective fami- Nes. That many of the reports in cirenlation were exai ied there is no doubt. The real state of the case is not likely to be made | known to the public, however, as those most directly interested will probably take meas- ures, if they have not already done so, to guard against the publicity’ which would come with the institution of legal proceet- ings. —o—_—_—. A COMPLAINT FROM THE OYSTERMEN.— Considerable dissatisfaction exists the captains and owners of oyster seh 50 bring marine products to our wharv ~ ip relation to the manner in whieh busin is conducted by certain commission dealers 2nd their numerous drummers, whom the ‘aptains allege practically control the oy ter trade, @nd fx the prices for both baying and selling, at the same time taking the lon’s share of the profits. In former times captains of oyster vessels sold their cargoes direct to the hotel and restanrant keepers, without the interference of middle men; but the trade has been so manipulated by tnese agents, it is alleged, that the oid custem has been entirely broken up, the Keepers of res- taurants and other consumers depending al- together on the middle men for their sup- lies. This has resulted in driving many of ine oystermen to other markets, and in some imstances the abandonment of the business ‘ster dredgers who no longer find it profitable. They also state that recent de- visions in the Police Court, in cases where [og have been charged with violation of ‘he law regajating the sale of oysters, have worked very much to their prejndice.’ It is —— that some action wi!! soon be taken by these oystermen to secure their rights LLrough & mutual protection organization. ———s— A RAILROAD SvuIT SETTLED.—It will be remembered that when the Baltimore and Potomac railroad took possession of the res- ervation at the intersection of 6th and B —— Mr. W. = b pape ll, pe pee been iF years occupying & portion round, refused to remove his wood and coal office, and In conseqnence the company removed the building.

Exliter Btar:—Will you permit me to say through your paper to the citizens of Wash- ington who are inquiring of me so anxiously in relation to the present state of the matters in controversy between the Sixth Presby- terian Church and the Baltimore and Poto- | Mac railroad company, that I have received a | letter from Hon. J. A. Garfield, our senior | counsel in the case. The following is an ex- | tract from his letter: “We presented the case so fully in ‘brief’ that this morning on the opening of the court, they Lgiko | bad time to look over our ‘briefs,’ the Chief Justice announced that | they did pot care to hear any further argu- ment on the subject. This is understood, all a & A | @round, as indicating a judgment in our Jaw in sueb cases reserves the retribution to | favor. ‘I presume they will aunounce the itself and looks upon acts of that kind as | judgment of the court next Monday.

The counsel says that a man is justified in slaying an individual who invades bis domestic peace. There are cases in which ap act of that description is | extenuated by the law, and that is when the | hushand slays the seducer or the adniterer at the time the act takes place, or so soon after it that be may be supposed’ still to be under the heat of ungovernable passi which sueh an act is calculated to produ but further than this the law does not go.
