THE DAILY UNION
HON. LYMAN TRUMBULL.

1t is understood that Mr. Trumbull has no commission
from the governor Of Illinois and therefore that he claims
by virtue OF election by the egisa-
ure which the governor declines recognise legal
under the constitution Of the State We believe the fol-
lowing statement presents the it viii be brought
before the Senate
The constitution of the State of Illinois provides that
judges OF the supreme shall be elected for the
Of years and that the persons elected shall not be
appointed elected to- hold any other office Of honor
or profit either under the authority of the State Of tho
United States during term for soAcA he elected judge
or for one year thereafter and all that may be given
either by the voters Of the State of Illinois By he gs-
ldte thereof for any person elected judge during SAID
term for any office aforesaid shall be null and roid
In 1852 Mr. Trumbull elected Judge Of the supreme
court for one Of the judicial divisions of the State of m
nois and was duly commissioned such according 10
law took the necessary OATH and entered upon the duties
Of said Office Judge lie exercised the duties of said Of
flee two out of the years for which he elected
and then resigned and became candidate for Congress in
the district in which he resided, and was elected
The governor of the State of Illinois refused TO give to
Mr. Trumbull certificate of his election to the House upon
the ground that the nine years for which he elected
Judge had EXPIRED and, consequently the votes cast
for him for Congress under the constitution OF the state
void.
The governor Of the State refuses give Mr. Trumbui
certificate his election senator upon the ground
that he refused certify that he elected to the House
Of Representatives, referring again to the State constu-
ton which declares all those votes cast by the legislature
for Mr. Trumbull for the Senate void
One of city contemporaries has fallen into the mistake

Congress Judge Douglas elected to Congress first in
1892 he then occupying seat on the supreme court
bench This election took place under the first constitu

The Baltimore Patriot OF yesterday gives the
following account of the elopement Of two wives
from their husbands. The first case was that of
young woman, who had been married only few
months. II appears that before her marriage she
was addressed by young man to whom she en-
gagged herself, but from some cause the contract
was not consummated, and the husband who > she
has left making her acquaintance, and being re-
spectacle young man, who had a good prospect
for independence she married him. Shortly after
her marriage, she commenced visiting a place
where lottery policies are sold, where she met the
party-whom she fret loved, and who was married
to another At these meetings an intimacy
sprung up, WHICH soon ripened into an agreement
to elope, and they accordingly went OF day or
two ago, the wife taking all the money her hus-
band had in the house with her. Her injured hus-
band has determined TO take the matter philoso-
phically, satisfied that he Is much better off with
out an unfathful wife. The wife Of the wretch
who has thus assisted in destroying the happiness
Of worthy fellow man win have the sympathy Of
all right-minded persons, and she too will doubt
less be quite as happy alone, as with man who
possesses 30 little Of the principle which makes the
character OF his noble. The other case Is that
of female in the same locality, further advanced
in life, and who has been married for several years
We could not learn whether the gay Lothario who
went off with this deserting wife left one OF his
own TO mourn over his ingratitude. This is sin
gular coincidence, that one neighborhood should
give birth to two events OF the like reprehensible
character at the same period.
