For the Meigs County Telegraph
Marriage Licenses.

Frequen: applications are made to the
Probate Judge for marriage licenses, where
one or both parties are under age, i'll
which case the law provides that they
shall first obtain the consent of their ia
theirs respectively; or in case Of the death
or incapacity Of their fathers then of their
mothers or guardians" And where the
parents are both dead or incapacitated to
act, the person under age intending to
make application for - marriage license.
should first come into the Probate Court
and make choice of a guardian TO act in
the case. Aud the law further provides
THAT persons under age intending to mar
~. the cohsent of the parents or guardians
shall be personally given before the Pro-
bate Judge. or certified under the hand of
of such parent or guardian, 0ttCSted by
t,cO witnesses, one of which shall appear
GefOre said Judge and make oath or affirm
alton that he saw the parent or guardian,
whose name is annexed to such certificate,
subscribe, or heaId him or her acknowl-
edge the Game." Now, many of the GER
tificates or letters sent in to the Probate
Judge are defective in several particulars.
Sometimes the writing is not witnessed, or
but one witness has signed the certificate,
and at other times, no witness appears be-
fore the Probate Judge to make oath to the
signature of the parent or guardian, and
the parties have to return without liz
cense. Now, to remedy this incOnveni-
ence, we suppose the following form would
be sufficient:

EN-If any of our friends desire an
ably-cOnducted, fearless, outspoken, manly
Southern Journal, we can safely point
them to "The South" published at Rich
mond, Va. They will there find "De-
mocracy" in'its purity, as professed and
practiced by The po,rer Mut controls the
administration. They will find in it no
cant. no hypocritical, double faced swind-
ling of voters under false pretenses, but a
purpose boldly and clearly proclaimed. and
with straight forwardness unknown to
Northern doughfaces, it presses to the &C
complishment of.tl.at purpose with n di-
rectness that is refreshing.
We should think its pcrusal by North
ern Democratic, editors would either burn
Out oftheir hearts the miserable hypocrisy
that imp.ls them to profess one thing and
brand of shame SO deep and ind-liblc that
il would cause them to be shunred by all
honest men.
w. are so constituted that while we can
contemplate, WIN some degree oil awe, the
bold and audacious robber. no other feel
ing than contempt is possible toward the
sneaking, petty swindler and thief. So,
too, when'a great political wrong is to be
perpetrated, if it is done openly and by
overmastering force. it leaves the self-re-
Speet of the people untouched and they
can even admire their conqueror. But
when the people themselves are made the
unconscious instruments of their own deg
radiation through the deceptive shams Of
wiley demagogues, respect for their be-
trayers is impossible. If We must be
ruled by modern Democracy, in the name
of all tina; is noble, let it be done openly
and not by fraud. We therefore reconl-
mend "The South"

EEThe Gold mines in Iowa are con-
tinuing to attract considerable attention.
A letter from Edwin III. Grant. from
Pella. Marion county. May II, and pub
lished in the Gin. " Conn.," gives an ac-
count of operations there. The season had
been SO wet, and the stream so swollen
that not much could be done. Several
who had had some experience in gold
working in California, were making an av-
erage of IS per day. Many Others were
not making expenses. Companies were
forming to test tho matter thoroughly MS
soon as the rains should cease and tho
streams fall. A few weeks will doubtless
settle the question whether there is suffi-
cient quantities of the precious metal to
justify the working of the mines.
