SUPERIOR COURT-GENERAL TERM-July a-Present all
the Justices but Judge BoswoRTH.
THE FORREST DIVORCE.
Cstbarine A. Forrest agt. Edwin Forrest
Mr. just &c Woodruff read the more important parts
Of very long and elaborate opinion in this famous
case The Court decide that no error was committed
by Chief Justice Oakley at the trial which can affect
the judgment far as it determines the guilt nno
cence of the partes but that regards the question
of amony, he was wrong in submitting the question
to the Jury in the bass which he determined its
amount, and in requiring an absolute release of dover
on the part u the plaintiff.
AS to the jurisdiction of the Court in actions OF d-
yoroe Judge Woodruff said that if proceeding of this
nature was an action within the definition of the code,
the Court had jurisdiction Court of Equity under
the long and settled practice in this couury-a uris
dicton which not taken away either blythe earlier
or recent Constitution.
As to the question upon the afidavts, the rule,
which is well settled, that if part of conversation
was given in evi6etce, the whole might be, was still
stronger in the case Of written Instruments.
AZ to the COnsueio letter, if wrongly ruled out at
first it's subsequent admission cured the error on the
same principle that erroneous refusal to nonsua
might be cured by the subsequent projection Of testi
pony to complete the proof.
Passing over the other poats which are mostly Of
NO general interest apest from tlis particular trial. as
70 alimony, twas held t6st the jedge had no more
reh, 10 submit the question Of amount to the jury
than he would have had to submit question u to the
care and guardianship of the children of marriage in
which d,cr. e Of divorce was pronounced both lay
within the dcs elton OF the Court Htid also thst it
WAS wrong TO base this question Of amount upon The
pleadipgs alone, az would appear from the case sub
united, but that eli the circumstances should have
been nut in proof befor, the judge or referee, since
he verdict Of the jury sioud have had no influence
10 determining it, He'd fh Their, that woman's right
of dover ca, not be barred by aoy act OF her husband
and that although to support claim for dover at
common law, the widow must hsve Eeen wife at he

a SPEAKER AT LAST.

At the moment Of sending our paper to press,
nm Monday night, we received information,
tI,r,urh the politcness of gentlemen connected
with the Central Rail Road passenger cars, which
lsf Raleigh Yesterday, that Banks was elected
Sneaker of the House of Representatives, ON Sa-
tnr,lav last, by plurality vote. This is result
10 be depIored by every friend of a conservative,
RATIONAL and constitutional government, bit one
which every body was prepared to expect when
eyer the plurality rule was adopted. We shall
loo, with no little interest to the names of those
who voted for the plurality principle. 1t was
,,ut,ununt to a direct vote for Banks, man who
has had the audacity to declare in his place on
the fnyr of Congress, that nc is unable to deter
mime which is the best of the two raccs-thc
white or the black.
We shall now soon see ''what WE shall see. -
The Banks 'back republican abolition party
will soon Introduce their measures i'll reference I"
Kansas and the repeal of all laws for the protcc-
ton of the South The lines will then b. strictly
drawn between the North and The South; and
TN. South .'Amcrica1s'' will either have to coop
crate with the Democratic party go to the wall.
A Speaker elected, the proceedings of Congress
will now b. of thrilling interest. We shall en-
drsvor to keep our readers advised of all matters
demanding attention.

COLD WEATHER.

Need we tell our readers that the weather is
cold-very cold-and little colder than it has
been at any other period of this very cold winter!
The information would, we are sure, be nothing
new. They have all found it out, before this
Time if they have any feeling. We will state,
however, for the benefit of our distant friends, that
we had another weekly instalment of snow on
Saturday night and Sunday last-making the
fifth that has fallen on the one or the other OF
those days every week for the last five weeks The
weather is now bitter cold, and the "oldest in
habitant' is unable to tell when it will become
warmer.
From all parts of the country we have many
distressing cunts of the effects of the severe
winter. Human beings, cattle, wild beasts, birds,
&c, are perishing i'll all directions.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1856-02-05
From the National Intelgencer (Whig)
OF HON. JAS. L. ORR

It will be seen from the proceedings be-
low that, after the withdrawal of Col. Rich
ardson on yesterday, the. Hon. James L..
Orr, of South Carolina, was nominated as
the Democratic candidate. OF the high
qualifications of Mr.. Orr for the station to
which he has been nominated it is wholly
unnecessary for us to speak. Wehave seen
him often presiding in Committee of the
Whole, when no one but the most accom-
plished parlimentarian could have sustained
himself, and we never saw him, even on the
most trying occasions when he did not Sc
cure the willing plaudits of all. We need
scarcely add that he is distinguished for
the courtesy and amenity of his manners :;
he possesses that cool self-possession and
dignifed frmness which are essential in IN
efficient presiding officer. AS statesman,
Mr.. Orr belongs to the school of national
men to whom the rights and interests of
every section as guaranteed by the consti-
tuition are alike dear. He deserved richly
the compliment bestowed upon him, and the
public interests would be signally promoted
if he should be elected.
