The al-absorbing topic of discussion in the
community just now is the schocking corruption
existing in the Reform Municipal Government
and the recent report of the Grand Jury thereupon
The Investigation disclosed, at each advance, a
clue to some rascality; but the clue could not
be followed for want Of time, and hence the jury
was compelled to conclude their labors without
arriving at definite results, except in few cases,
but with the strong intimation to those who sue
ceed them, that they will find ample grounds upon
which to base renewal of the Investigation
The Grand Jury state that they are unanimously
convinced, even from the incomplete evidence
they were enabled to extract from reluctant wit
nesses. that there is just cause for an investiga-
tion into the reports of malfeasance, bribery,
ruption and dishonesty of city officials, and of
persons in places of public trust. They were, for
want Of time, compelled to relinquish the clue
they were so resolutely following. 1t would have
required weeks to unearth the guilty ones.

nv We announced Miss Lucy Stones mar
riage on Saturday. Her ismatic spouse, (brothcr
we believe to DR.. Elizabeth Blackwell,) joins ir
the following protest against society, the lates
illustration we know of, of the "ruling passion
strong" under melancholy circumstances. While
resigning herself to the oppressive burden of a
husbands it is not to be supposed she III submit to
the tyrannous exacton Of babies. The poor wo-
man will have enough to bear without bearing
brats.
PROTEST.
While we acknowledge our mutual affection,by
publicly assuming the sacred relationship of hus-
band and wife, yet in justice to ourselves and a
great principle, we deem it Il duty to declare that
this act our part implies no sanction Of, nor
promise of voluntary obedience to, such of the
present laws of marriage, as refuse to recognize
the wife rs an independent rational being, while
they confer upon the husband an I'M juriOus and
unnatural superiority, investing him with legal
powers which no honorable man would exercise,
and which man should possess.
We protest especially against the laws which
give to the husband
!. The custody Of his wifes person.
>. The exclusive control and guardianship Of
their children.
3. The sole ownership of her personal, and use
Of her real estate. unless previously settled upon
her or placed in the hands OF trustees, as in the
case Of miners, lunatics aud idiots.
4. The absolute right to the product of her
industry.
5. Also against laws which give to the widow
er so much larger and permanent an interest in
the property of his deceased wife, than they give
to the widow in that Of her deceased husband.
6. Finally, against the whole system of which
''the legal existence Of the wife is suspended du-
ring marriage" so that in most states she neither
has a legal part in the choice of her residence,
nor can she make will, nor sue be sued in
her own name, nor inherit property.
We believe that personal indepen -.ence and
equal human rights can never be forfeited except
for crime that marriage should be an equal and
permanent partnership, and so recognized by law;
that until it is recognized, married partners should
provide for the radical injustice of present laws
by every means in their power.
We believe where domestic difficulties arise,
no appeal should be made to legal tribunals under
existing laws, but that all difficulties should be
submitted to the equitable adjustment of arbitra-
tors mutually chosen.
Thus. reverencing law, we enter our earnest
protest against rules and customs which un-
worthy of the name, since they violate justice, the
essense of all law. (Signed,)

Hon. John Savage, formerly Chief Justice of
the State,at the request (and for the gudance) of
the Mayor of Utica, has given an opinion on the
Prohibitory Law. He holds that, from the lst of
May to the 4th Of July no person can sell liquor
in quantities less than five gallons without incur
ring the penalty of s;25 fine for each offensc. He
entirely dissents Mr.Dillon's opinion that impor-
ted liquor can be retailed under the new law. He
comedies that imported liquor may be sold in the
original packages. according to the decision Of
the United States Supreme Court; but he denies
that there is any permission expressed or implied,
and seizure clause of the new law unconstitu-
I;onal.

The MovE WEstwARD.-The hard times expert
cnccd by the middling and poorer classes in New
England the past year, the result of monetary
difficulties and the exhorbtant price of all the ne

eyes in the direction of the Great West. Large
numbers have already started, and many more
are preparing to start for that portion of the

been taken by the authorities of some counties to

The county authorities Of Carroll and Trimble,

corn, which is to be sold at cost to persons able
to pay now. Trimble county has two depots on
the river, one at Garratt's landing, the other at
Milton. Yesterday fye hundred bushels, the first
arrival, was divided out in lots, mono to exceed
fifteen bushels to one person. The scene yesterday
