Mr.. EDITOR:-C ontrary to all expectations
he late National Convention of the American
Party nominated IL candidate for PRESIDENT
The news was received with the most exulting
enthusiasm, and the party have every reason
to rejoice at their selection of candidates.
Grlswod VS.. Griswold are parties in an int
portant case before The Court of Common Pleas
the action Is TO obtain possession of child and !
other matters No doubt, your readers have
heard Of Rev. r. w. Griswold, person arainst
whom almost every newspaper in the country
has had something to say. The reverend gen
tleman was married in lsIl, to Il lady of
Charleston, S. c.; he, becoming tired of her
adopted various eXpedicnts TO get his wife out
81 the wny-such as keeping her in room
durng the summer time, where there W. S ii
hre continually burning, and hy imp.ring hri
health by various means. The Il. stalcs, Il,
one time, he wrote for her 20 cumc 10 :;cw
York, and rccOmmcndrd her IL seek board al II
house of Ill talEe. Tuc pllid4Nu 81 the w.E
presents ii continued series of wrongs, whici
should c"ns'gn hun 10 pcrprull tuonl--sumc
even too shocking Ia be read N open coLrt.-
The wife further alleges, she never signed the
ball OF divorce, Notwithstanding the various
means he tried, TO make her do so-such as
threats, and sore affections. She received the
paper, however; and the said Rufus, when he
thought all was right, married young lady
down East. The case has many parallels, but
on L.;
public Is taken by surprise. GrisWod as de-
posed rom the ministry by the BIpli>t church,
+ sometime ago, but has since preached without
authority. We may safely set hiu down as
one Of The iIard.Sn boys.

1t is thought the people will demand the resp

Nothing new from the CrImeu, except lutl
