Divorces.

There is one and with us, only one point about
this subject which causes the smallest hesitancy'
II is in the case Of wilful desertion Much can
be said as much has been said, on both sides, not
only by Legislatures jurists, but by moralisis *
Christian expositors- We have remarked incon-
sstency in some ofthese at one time they repre-
sent divorces except in the extreme case as posi-
lively forbidden; at others they justify full d.
vorce for wilfn and obstinate desertion, quoting
the apostles words in lst Cor. I Is in defence
of the opinion.
! Then even Il the extreme case Of hush; nos
proven infdelity some (as Archdeacon Paley)
have denied the wifes right of divorce with
power OF remarrage, but we think this view ca
silly auswerable by strictly fair construction Of
the Christian law. We incline TO hold husband
and wife TO a strict equality Of marital rights
Much of the difficulty surrounding the subject
of divorce for desertion might, and before long,
must be dissipated by our Legislatures. Is 1t
not TO the last degree unjust that whilst the law
will vindicate the rights of parties TO pccunI-
CONTRACT NO" SIldii 'IS aiiou'iN ~
volved-yet it stands by with folded arms and Of
fers no remedy, save the questionable one OF d.
yorce, TO the injured and heart-desolated victim
of conuga treachery There are at this mo-
ment in the land thousands of mertorious women
thus deserted, their just hopes fled, and lives
measurably blasted. The best remedy for this
that we can now think Of would be the passage Of
an act, depriving the party charged with deser-
ing beyond the space of one year-upon good
and sufficient proof therof-of his or her civil
rights, and forfeiture Of all claim TO real or per-
sonal property in the state wherein the desertlon
was committed, the same TO belong to the desert
ed party. With this should be coupled increased
facilities for the qualified divorce q mtnsa ct tho
70, and new guaranty against the rcmarriage OF
either party 10 other than the c divorce.
The whole subject Of Divorces necessarily
forcing itself on the attention Of many Of the State
Legislatures, and during the last week it was
particularly prominent in the Maryland House
Of Delegates. Sooner or later it must be set up
right basis everywhere, for in the past, legis
.ativc action has proved little else than stimu-
lus to matrimonial dsseutous and infdelitics.

We venture 10 say, that there is q SUIT
pending in, the County Court Of this coun
ty, unprecedented in the annals of juris
prudence. About eight years since, {
highly respectable merchant left the State
with the intention of attending to some bu
siness in the eastern cities, and having
prolonged his visit to an unusual period
and not being heard from, his friends be
came apprchensive that he was either sick
or dead. Weeks, months and years, e.
lapsed, and still his mysterious disappear
ance could not be explained. His bust
ness was carried on by his brother for two
or three years after his departure, and fl
naly, application was made 10 the court
for letters of administration on his estate,
and they were granted. The administers
tor proceeded, in the discharge of his duty.
TO sell the property and collect the debts,
and after he had made almost full settle
ment of the liabilities of the estate, he
suddenly died. An Administrator de DO
ms non was appointed, and in the course
of three or four months all matters were
closed, and a surplus left in his hands
amounting 10 several thousand dollars
The court made an order that this sum be
paid over to the heirs of the interstate, bu;
before it was executed the verita5le 3ead
man MADE HIS APPEARANCE and filed his
DISSENT to the proceeding. He HAS NOW
INSTITUTED SUIT AGAINST THE EXECUTOR
OF HIS FIRST ADMINISTRATOR FOR SETTLE
MENT OF THE LATTER's ADMINISTRATION
ACCOUNT. II is something "new under
the SUM- for dead man to come 10 life
and litigate with his representative.

THE REGISTER.
ShepherdstOwn, Jefferson County, Va.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1850.
Our Thanks are due to Mr.. Duke o
the House of Delegates, for interesting
public documents.

Mr.. Clay's Resolutions will be found
under the Congressional head. AT first
blush we thought Them less just to the
South, but on reperusal and reflection, we
are enabled to give them hearty approval
finding nothing i'll them TO conflict with
sound Constitutional principles. The OBJ
jections 10 them by Messrs. Borland, &c,
are ultra, and themselves Objectionable.
Mr.. Clay defended his resolutions in an
able speech.

The Papers of Gen'l Washington.

The petulant remarks Of Mr.. Senator
Borland on the occasion Of Mr.. Clay's in
PRODUCTION Of his resolution to purchase
the original manuscript of Washington's
Farewell address, has brought out Mr.. Geo.
C. Washington of George Town, D. c
Mr.. Washington objects to Mr.. Borland's
charge that revolutionary relics have
been hawked about with the disposition TO
speculate on the patriotismof the country"
and publishes the correspondence between
himself and the War Department, occur
ring in 1894, and the Library Committee
of Congress, occurring in lS49, to shew
that he at least, in the sale of Washington s
official papers and records, got nothing
from the Government but what was in re-
turn for full value received, and that the
negotiation was unsolicited by him.
We quote the conclusion of Mr. Wash
;ngton's letter TO Hon. II. c. Murphy, a
member of the Joint Library Committee :
Il feel warranted in saying that these
papers have costlhe Government nothing,
but have saved to the Treasury perhaps
four or five times the amount paid for them.
In confirmation of the above, refer the
committee TO the accompanying letters
from officers of the Government, marked
Nos. 2, 3, and 4, by which it will appear
that large sums were saved TO the Treasu-
ry, perhaps equal 10 the purchase money;
and this too when the Government was
in possession Of but small portion of the
PAPERS. If such an amount was saved III
the course of a few months, my estimate
would seem reasonable,a as the Government
has been in full possession of all the pa
pers for fourteen years. These evidences
have not only protected the Government
against fraudulent claims, but have sub
served the cause Of justice IN establishing
those that were meritorlous. Had | been
disposed to consult my own interest rather
than the wishes of the Government, and
directed my attention to the prosecution OF
revolutionary claims, 1t is obvious that,
having means Conformation not possessed
by others, | might have realized very
considerable sum.
The Government purchased these pa
pers with no view TO speculation, although
it has proved a most profitable one; and
have only stated the ABOVE facts, not as
giving me any claim on Congress, but
rather as an appeal TO its liberality in dis,
posing of the resolution before the COM
mittee, should its decision be favorable.
am, most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
G. G. WASHINGTON.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCE IN A CHURCH.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCE IN A CHURCH.
There has been a terrible row in the
fifth Presbyterian church at Piusburg,
touching reunion with the Ohio Pres
byterv of the Old School Division. The
church was crowded on the occasion, and
both male and female members were al
lowed to vote. TIE Chronicle says:
Confusion and disorder, and bitterness
of speech prevailed from the moment the
selection of officers commenced, and as
the various questions were brought up, the
confusion increased until the conduct OF
some of those present became boislerous
HAY, almost riotous.
Amidst protests and disputes, and argu-
ments, and "noise and confusion such as
Lewis Cass never imagined, it was passed
that the church should 90 over TO the Old
School, by vote of IS yeas TO 81 nays,
ladies and gentlemen all voting. The
vote of pew holders on the transfer Of the
church was II yeas 10 10 nays. The
proceedings of the meeting throug bout,
appeared more like the excitement OF
warmly contested political contest, than
the discussion of an important church
matter.
The minority. protested against every
thing that was done, but still they were
but a minority. The matter will be taken
up TO the Presbytery for final adjustment,
and it is also probable that civil suit will
be Instituted before the church property
