The New York Tribune Wahlntou corres

Home of the friends of Mr. De Lare, Ilepre
fcntailve elect from the Second Soutii Carolina
dlRtrlct, and whoso eat tho Hon. C C liowen,
the prccsut mcnitier. Intends to contort, have
arrived In tbls dir. They say that Mr. liovren's
ufftrlion that ho haa the slroogct ciue of con
leet ever brought before the ilouso Is wholly
without fouiidutlou, and that tho points ou
which he relies will alt bo successfully met.
They deny the ai-pertion that Mr. Da LAnro
vj ever engaged in blocUnde-runuinij. Ilo is a
mulatto, ana, like others of his nc- he wasIji
prtcted into the Kebel service and set to work
bc a laborer on the fortifications of Charleston.
Having epcaped, he lied to a blockade-runner
lving in the harbor, tlic master of which hired
l"'e Larire as a servant Mr. De Larire will uiso
claim thai, nrlmltting that he did engage in
bicckadc-runnliig, he had at the time no politi
cal ftutu in this country, and will )iioie the
iniiifiiig Dred Scott decixiou, tie lctrillty of
which, he fnys, has never been questioned, to

Thus the decision, which was Intended to

will be need by ore of the formerly oppressed
race to vindicate his rlirht to a so.u in (JoiigrusA.

which will prevent him from taking the iron

meeting successfully every other point ou which
Mr. liowen may bare his contest.

A child's table-service, in silver, the pro
duct of the artistic resources of tho Gorham
Manufacturing Company, and tho gift of
Senators of both political parties to the in
fant son of Vico-TVesident Colfax, is now on
exhibition at Tiffany & Co.'s, New York.
Tho service conissts of a tray, bo.vl, cup,
plate, knife, fork, spoon, and napkin ring,
tho whole inclosed in a superb French walnut
cape, upholstered in purple silk. Tho tray is
oblong, beautifully ornamented, and inlaid
with ftettc-d gold of twelve different hues.
In the centro of the tray is the inscription,
"hcliuylcr Colfax, Jr., from Senators of the
XLIst Congress." An expansion of tho rim
at fl.e f-ide is supported by a shield of red
gedd with monogram, surmounted by a
wreath ol tuberoses and morning-Rlories.
The bowl nnd cup are finished in oriental
1 cml, nnd laid with gold. Tho knife, fork,
and bpoon alno have handles of gold, and tha
napkin-ring bears the monogram "S. C,
Jr.," in delicate characters. The casings are
of French walnut, with a cover of ebony
unci satin-wood inlaid with flowers. This gift
Las been executed at an estimated cost of
s-10(!), under direction of Senaor Anthony,
end will be forwarded to Washington iu a
few days.
Ajur.if ans in Switzerland. A late letter
from Geneva, Switzerland, to the Boston
Aovei tifitr Fnys:
General Cumside, who came to Geneva to
fee bis wife, who has been in this city some
weeks, left last Monday for Brussels. Of
com rc, lio was "interviewed" by people who
warded bis signaturo to various South Sea
set ernes, or w ished to egg the General on to
talking about the ins and outs of Paris.
He got a chance, however, to take
Lis wife to the Greek Church. Cy
the way, last Wednesday an American lady,
Miss Monroe, of Syracuse, N. Y., was married
at tLis little church to a Russian gentleman. I
will not wrong Lim to the extent of trying my
tkill on Lis nutne. Tho ceremony, to the dis
appointment of Americans, was not public,
OLd only Mrs. lveKsellaer 1 a d, of Albany,
was invited to witness the performance,
which is quite in the nature of a sacrament.
There is much that is picturesque about the
pageant; what w ith the blue velvet and silver-
aced robe of the priest, the holding of the
heavy silver crowns over the beads of the
happy pair for the priest takes the united
Lands of the two in his and marches with them
slowly three times around his altar; all the
while the groomsmen follow, holding
the f-ilver crowns over the heads of the bride
and bridegroom. These crowns are so heavy
that borne of the assistants frequently come
to the aid of the groomsmen, l'raying and
chanting are liberally mingled with the per
formence, and three times they take the
sacrament. The bride and bridegroom have
a piece of rose-colored satin to stand upon,
and there i3 a vulgar belief that the one who
treads liist upon the satin will hold the upper
hand in the household. Upon this occasion.
I em told, the bridegroom gracef ally placed
the beautiful bride first upon the pink rag.

The management of the New Orleans Opera

A wealthy hypochondriac of New Orleans,
who believed that his body was as brittle as
class, and that he ran in constant danger of
breaking it, was completely cured of the conceit
a lew days since, by the kindness of two medi
cal students, who lollowed htm about from place
to place, and whem questioned as to their mo
tives stated that they were waiting for him to
"break himself," so that they might have the
chance to pick up the pieces for dissection.
