BIGAMY AND SPIRITUALISM.

To the Editor Of The ~ Y Tribune.
SIR l trust you will allow me the privilege Of Of
fering line Of explanation touching the use of my
name and the name of Mrs. Clark, signed 10 the mar
rage certificate Of VIM. Henry Broughton and Maria
yenner, as found in Mondays TRIBUNE, headed
MORE WIVES THAN THE LAW ALLows-A SPRIsK-
LING or SPIRIIUALIsM. The article reports that
Through the connivance Of some Spiritussts Maria
"was persuaded to marry VIM. Henry, che being told
"by medium that the marriage had been ordered BY
the spirits Of Of her deceased relatives As no
Spirualists are specified in this case, and my name
as officiating minister, and Mrs. Clarks as Witness
used; and both Of us being known as Spiritual
lecturers and editors Of Tie Spiritual Clarion, it may
be inferred that allusiOn made to in the alleged
"cOnnivaBce." Now it happens that no Spiritualists
had anything to do in bringing about the match be-
tween Maria and William; ofthiAI am perfectly Ger.
tain. They were engaged weeks before they CHANGED
TO meet any mediums. Neither Maria nor William
ever profetsed to be Spirituslsts. We have no &C.
quaintance with William his antecedents, nor any
knowledge OF an engagement between him and Msns
till he called at the time was requested to perform
ceremony. Whatever counsel they may have re.
ceived from mutual friend whom Maria consulted
for her health whether it purported to come from
Spirits otherwise related only to the fulflment OF
prior mutual Promises and neither nor other Spr-
itualists can be held responsible. Though We took
pains to learn whether there was any legal objec-
ton to the union Of the parties, and we knew 20 cause
we nevertheless advised the couple TO take more
time. But our official services were urged, AID We
complied. AL parties will substantiate our state

To The Editor Of The N. Y. Tribune
SIR In your account Of the commencement Of the
Rutgers Female Institute, you say that the gold medal
for Mathematics sis considered the highest honor Of
the school," If it be- daughter Of mine shall not
become pupil there. A knowledge Of English gram.
mar, English literature and English composition ought
to be the chief thing aimed at in American female
school. History geography arithmetic and SO on, are
essential. Housekeeping. cooking and dressmaking
are moie useful, and, therefore, more honorable !"
than mathematics. How often, would ask, will the
mathematical prize-pupil open mathematical book

The election TO fill vacancies IN the City Councu
was held On Monday, the 18th inst. The forenoon
passed off as quietly any ordinary election in the
towns of the East, and no apprehension was felt OF
ally disturbance during the day. Soon after dinner,
james Lyle, County Recorder and Probate Clerk,
gave to q German q Pr0-Slavery ticket, which the
German tore up and threw upon the ground; where
upon Lyle began to abuse the German. j. NJ.

Moore, Pro-Slavery, and Free.State man named
Haller, joined in the alteration high words passed,

shots were exchanged and Lyle fell stabbed through
the heart expiring almost instantly, the knife entering
his back between the left shoulder and the spne Al
though great many persons were IN the immedi ne
vicinity, was injured by the hnng except Dy
stander slightly in the elbow
TWAS supposed that Halter struck the fatal blow;
and he was after arrested standing on the street
near by. Mitchell was also arrested.
Lyle took an active part in driving the Free-State
men out of Leavenworth last year. He was young
man, and recently arved-hls wife being at the time
absent from the city,
Halter was one Of those who were driven out being
broken up in a good business, and losing all his
propery-and it is charged that the murder was pre-
meditated, and perpetrated on account OF the old
troubles.
Henderson Of The Journal addressed the excited
crowd in an infiammatory speech, and there was
manifest determination on the part of the friends OF
Lyle to lynch Haller at once-from which they were
only deferred by the superior number Of armed citizens
who tronged the streets determined at all hazards to
sustain the authorities.
messenger was Immediately sent to Judge lie.

was openly declared that Haller should be hung be-

was quiet in the city; but the friends of Lyie.Hen
deron, Murphy, More, Brown and others-maddened
with liquor endeavOring to excite riot assist
apce had been summoned by them from Delaware,
Weston, and other points, in order to lynch Halter;
and is more than probable that the attempt has ere
this been made. But it would certainly be upsuccess-
full, and result in scene Of boOdshed unequaed by
ary tragedy vet enacted in Kansas-the citizens being
completely organized under the direction of the Mayor
with orders that no gatherings would be allowed in
the streets after dark.
The next intelligence from Kansas will, fear, be-
