The statutes Of the various States on the sub
iect Of divorce, taken together exhibit perhaps
more vagueness, tautology, ignorance earelessness
and ambiguity than in any other department of
legislation. There il no branch OF jurisprudence
which il is more necessary 10 have harmonzed
into ne system; yet there is not one in the whole
range Of legal science where such conflict of prn-
ciples and such ncOngruity Of decisions exist A
divorce is often granted in State that is not legal
in another: consequently, man MAJ be divorced
in Ohio and still married in New-York. If be re-
msrries. this new marriage is illegal here aud legal
there; bis children Of the second marriage are bas-
tards here but the moment they the line into
Ohio they become legitimate. His first wife is en-
titled TO dover here, and his second wife is enti-
tied there. After his death, should the first wife
seize his effects in Ohio, and his second wife take
them here, they would be treated by the courts of
the respective States trespassers and thieves.
In fact we're the boundaries of these States CO.
terninous. and if the husband wished to indulge in
spice of poygamy be might build house with
wing in each State, and live with his first wife
week in New-YOrk, and then with his other wife a
week in Ohio; but should the women, not being
well yersed in law or geography exchange houses
for moment, both might be arrested for Migrants
and prostitutes, and the husband held liable, in
both States, as bigamist.
There is no subject, indeed, upon which the con-
ficts of the laws are more fragrant or more embar-
RAISING Indeed, many of the existing provisions on
the subject Of divorce appear TO ben direct conflict
with that provision of The Federal Constitution, that
:" full faith and credit shall be given to the public
acts, records, and Judicial proceedings of every
"other State" whereas many Of these "pablic
"acts, records, and judicial proceedings" in cases
of divorce, are treated i9 other States as pure

OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

From Our Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Monday, Jan. 81, 1896.
The mails of the America reached here yester-
day and the diplomatic intelligence by them fur
nishes no additional cause for experimenting any
rupture in our relations with England. The two
questions which have most exercised both Govern
ments remain unchanged in their aspect as com.
pared with the previous sdvices. The request for
Mr.. Champions recall, and the dismissal Of the
Consuls implicated in the enlistments, probably
reached London yesterday afternoon, and conse
quently no very important news . regard to the
action of the British Ministry can be expected
until about the middle Of February. With all
Lord PamerstOn's supposed warlike temper and
understood dstaste for this country he is too wary
statesman and too adroit aiplomatist to seek an
unnecessary quarrel with the United States. Be-
sides, no just or proper ground is afforded for any
serious difference from the conduct of the Admins
tratiOn concerning Mr.. Crampton. That step wa'
taken upon the fullest deliboratou, snd after the

"Be II further enacted, That it is hereby made un-
lawful for the Superintendent OF Public Schools to en-
poy or coni ne a. teacher, in any public school of
this Nation any person known TO be an AbOitions, or

This sct, embOdyDg 90 much of the true spirit OF
Slavery, and which did not hesitate TO sacrifice
missionaries schools, religion, education and every
thing else TO the supposed convenience and interest
Of the sloveholders, passed both branches Of the
National Council. but was at that point stopped
short by the veto Of John Ross the principal
chief In tie long struggle with the Georglans,
Ross obtained high reputation for PATRIOTISM
courage and prudence-nOr did these great quail
ties fail him oil this occasion. The upper branch
of the Cherokee Council passed the act again in
spite of the veto, but in the lower branch it could
not obtain the requisite vOte-so that the e4ulta-
tons INDUCED in few days since by our Pro-
Slavery papers over IFS passage prove to be pre-
mature
A little arstocracy of wealthy individuals among
the Cherokees suppose themselves to have an IN
terest IN sacrificing everything else to Slavery, but
they ere in fact all the time only the tools OF few
medd!e.ome white men in the neighboring States,
to whom the idea of the growth of a free COM
munty on their borders is just as abhorrent as the
idea of Free State of Kansas is to the Missouri
Border Ruffians. 1t is this foreign interference
which has caused all the trouble. The members
Of the National Council, whose act the principal
Chief has been obliged 70 veto, are precisely, no
doubt of that same class of individuals to whom
the CLerokees have owed all their troubles for the
last forty yearsa set of selfish spectators, who,
to feather their own nests by currying favor with
the whites have been willing at any time to cede
the lands and sacrifice the interests of the nation
nj large.
On the other hand, the long hold of John Ross
upon the CherOkees, Of whom he has been for so
many years the distinguished head Chief, has grown
entirely out Of his sympathy with and devotion to
the rights and interests of the body of the CherO
KEGS; and by bis veto upon this act passed tor the
benefit Of few dozen shareholders, he has but
done what his past history gave right to expect
of him.

Adyices from Porta.-Prinee to the lst inst con-
firm the previous accounts of the defeat OF the
Haytens, with the loss of between 200 and 300 sol
diers, with many of their best officers, beside all
their munitions of war, provisions and the Em-
perors military chest containing all the funds in'
tended for the prosecution of the war. Faustn l..
bad marched $4,000 men against the eastern side
of the Island and his defeat is represented as most
complete. Faustin had escaped from the battle
field, but his place of Refuge was unknown, and
Gen. Santander had offered reward Of 10000
doubloons for his head. SO great the feeling
against him that it was the general opinion OF the
inhabitants of Port-au-Prince that if his Majesty
escaped falling into the hands of the Spanards he
would be shot by his own people.

q, that mart Of Mr.. Brsdys published letter which

from those published in the Lexington PaPcrs' ana
8, that part Of Mr. Brady's published letter wh'
VS. made the occasion Of this viH-inous outrage
twill be seen BY Mr.. Brady's statement ths
the parties actually concerned were very few IN
number, and that the treatment he received though
scanGslous enough. was really less outrageous than
the kentucky papers hsd pretended They doubt
less thought it best, according to the accepted
slave-dryng policy to lie little by way OF fright
enipg folks. But as the transaction, according 10
the worst character sscrbed TO it, has been fully
approved ~ certain papers of Lexington and
Louisville, with no public protest which we have
vet seen against il, the credit VI the transaction,
not merely as it was, but as represented by the
Kentucky Journals must De considered as assumed
by the Shareholders And what al impression does
such transaction not give of the horribly barbar
ling influences of that barbaric institution Mr..
Brady, being lately from Free State, had brought
with him to Kentucky the habit OF freely expressing
lis sentiments. II was great blunder. he
ought to have remembered that he had moved into
a jurisdiction in which TO speak or write against
Slavery, in however unexceptionabe manner, is
the Mat Ward case, what has ANYBODY right to
expect who undertakes the Office OF schoolmaster
in Kentucky Mr.. Brady may consider 1t mercy
that he was not set upon BY his pupils and murdered
in the schoOl-rOOm.
We also give in another column an instructive
letter from the capital OF South Carolina in which
the curtain is held up for moment, and little
light let in upon the influence OF Slavery upon do:
nestle comforts and proprieties. Lest the good
citizens of Columbia, in their anxiety to give a
similar instance of the whitening influences OF
Slavery with that afforded by the people OF Lex
ipcton. might be led to infict a similar outrage
upon somebody under the idea that they had got
hold of correspondent of THE TRIBUNE, we beg
leave TO assure them that the writer of the letter
referred to is now safe in this city, where, thank
God the liberty of speech and of the press, in
spite of doughfaces, whether Hard or Soft, whether
Democratic, Silver-Gray or Nothing, still
hourshes in full yigor.
