RUSSIAN LAW OF MARRIAGE.--By q late
order of the Russian Government all MARI
ages are forbidden, except where the parties
first obtain the consent of the parish authori-
ties. which must, in every case, be withheld,
unless the persons asking it are capable at
the time of supporting fimiles, and can also
iurnise strong probability that such capac-
lily will continue to the end The increased
number OF individuals falling burden on the
State several years past is the reason given
for this edict. Hard, but fair.

Tom COrwiu.


-- II has been asserted and repeated by ma
ny Of our Democratic exchanges that the
nomination of Mr.. Corwin, as Secretary of
the Treasury, was by no means unanimously
confirmed by the Senate; and some of them
have even ventured so far as to name prom
6rmation. A late number of the State Sen
tinel speaks Of Messrs Bright and Whitcomb
in this connection, and states most enphat-
ically that they refused to sanction the APP
pointment by their votes; but as we have
seen this news in no other print, it is safe to
presume the statement was manufactured to
order" Both the above statements-if we are
permitted to rely on authority heretofore ac-
knowledged good-are untrue. MIR. Cor
wins appointment was confirmed by unan-
imous vote. But these and similar untruths
may be expected from his political opposers.
He has again secured prominent place in
the minds of the people, and is occupying an
exalted seat at the head of our Government,
and to expect, were he all purity, that he
would escape the SANDERS and vituperation
OF the Democratic press, IS ridiculous. He
will be the object Of its embittered slang, but
will brave its fiercest cuts, and figure the
more brightly in the hearts Of his admirers.
A contemporary says truly that there are
very few men in political life who have as lit
tie cause for selfreproach as Tom Corwin.-
Heis honest and industrious, and one OF the
most eloquent men that ever denounced ty-
ranny and injustice or indicated the claims
of innocence and virtue. We wish we had
as much cause to respect the heads and
hearts of all the members OF the Senate as
we have to respect the head and heart OIL
Mr.. Corwin He is one of natures choicest
Doblemen, and and occupies most exalted
place in the affection and admiration Of mill
ions Of the American people.

WHEREAS, In his All-seeing Providence,
it has pleased the great Architect OF the
Universe, to take from among US our de-
ceased Brothers, Thos. II. Lyddane, and N.
c.. Foster Be it therefore as testimonial
of our esteem for them as men, and love as
brothers,
Resolred, That this Lodge has heard with
sentiments of the proioundest regret, OF the
deaths of our dear and wel-beloved breth-
rem, THos. II. LyDDANE, and N. T.. Eos
TER.
Resolred, That Bro. LYDDANE, having
been most worthy and efficient officer oil
this Lodge, a brother of high standing, and a
man of noble character, has left vacant
among US IL place in our hearts and alice
tons not easily filled. He was born in the
District of Columbia, on the 1st day OF July,
1923, and died in this city, which was the
place Of his residence for TWO years previous:
on Thursday, the lst of August, 1880, aged
81 years and one month, of bilious diarrhGa.
| He was made member OF the |. o. y. f.,
in Cincinnati, several years since, and we be-
lieve In high standing in thai order For two
years previous TO his residence here, he was
head clerk in the Paymaster's department,
under Miior Bryce. in the Mexican war
which duty he filled with honor and credit
He removed TO this city two years since, and
was made Mason in this Lodge, in which
he has maintained high reputation, both as
a Mason and a man, ever since. His duties
as an officer were performed in a manner
which left nothing TO be desired-and we
must ever regret that he has been snatched
away while just entering upen career OF
Masonic virtues, that must have won him
golden apinions from all.
Resolved, That in Bro. N. c. FOSTER,
lately resident of Boonv.Ie, Ind, this Lodge
has lost one, who, though youag Mason,
having been made at the next regular meet
ing previous to his death, babe faiI to become
a bright and shining light" As husband
a Son, and man. he was loved and esteem
ed by all who knew him-and the melancholy
suddenness of his death, sheds a peculiar in
terest over the sadness and regret with which
we view it.
Resol~ed, That to the widow and relatives
of Bro. LYDDANE, and the surviving relatives
of Bro FOSTER, we offer our warmest SYM
pa,hes in their bereavement, and mingle our
regrets with theirs.
AND WHEREAS, God in his mercy has Ia
ken from among US, our Brother, Major FAR
RINGToN, late of Memphis. Be il also
Resolred, That this Lodge offers its sym.
pathies and condolences to his widow and re.
latives, in the firm hope that our Brother who
has gone from them here, will meet them
again in another and better world
Resoired, That in paying 10 his remains
the respect due them as q brother, we bu
performed our duty to good and worthy
member of our time honored Order, Roya
Arch Mason, and good man.
Resoired, That the City papers, Warricl
County Democrat, and Masonic Review

olutions, and that copies of them. signed by
the officers of this Lodge: he forwarded to thu
relatives of our deceased Brothers.
