The Presbyterian Law q


The Divorce case in the Presbyterian
General Assembly was brought to close
yesterday, by vote of LOG in favor of sus-
tanning the complaint against the Synod of
Iowa, to52 against sustai ming the complaint.
This is virtually majority Of 81 against the
Rev. J. Il. Shields, and finds him and his
wife guilty of adultery. According to Pres
byterian theories they are not man and wife
though according to the laws of the State
where they reside, they are exactly that
thing, and Mrs. Shields right of dover in
her husbands property remains intact. His
deed is lot good without her signature. The
vote was divided as follows Ayes, Ministers
60, Elders So; Noes, Ministers 80, Elders Is.
The sentence Of the Assembly is not yet pro.
nounced, and it is extremely doubtful
whether the original penalty-depositien
from the ministry and recommendation from
the church-will be sustained when that
branch of the subject comes up. The judi
cial effect of the above vote is simply to as.
sert the propriety of undoing the work of
the Court Immediately below.
With due Difference to the majority in
numbers, We must be permitted to say that
the majority of argument and of intellectual
force in this debate has been conspicuously
on the other side. With the names Of Rev.
Dr., Thompson, (the Moderator,) Rev. DR..
Rowland, of Newark, Rev. DR.. Smith, of
Union theological Seminary, Rev. DR.. Hea-
cock, of Buffalo, Rev. DR.. Garfield, of SYRIA
cuse, Rev. DR.. Gale, of Galesburg, Rev. Mr..
Lindsey, Of New York, and others of
wide reputation, recorded in his favor, Mr..
Shields can afford to be pronounced against.
The laymen in the Assembly voted almost
unanimously for condemning him. Practi-
cally, this decision establishes nothing. 1t
simply reverses q previous decision on the
Assembly records, and is itself liable to be
reversed at any time. But for the present.
the sentence to be pronounced is the Presby.
terrain law Of divorce Chicago Trib., 29th.
Rev. Mr.. Shields resides at Desmoines, we
believe. The two most important questions
that seem to have been decided in this case
are
LIST. Is second marriage ever sanctioned
BY the Divine law during the life of both of
the parties to the original contract7
I'd. Is q second marriage lawful where
the divorce was obtained for other cause
than that of sdultery2

There are two classes of political econo-
mist in our day. One holds that these two
great elements Of social progress are inhe-
acknowledgements; occupy different spheres
-one high, the other low; and that they
confer this antagonism and difference of de-
grec on tho respective classes who severally
exercise them. The other class believe that
Labor and Capital are mutually dependent,
married by the eternal .fat, "those whom
God hath joined together lot no man put asun.
der )" that each is necessary to the other |;
that Labor pays Capital, and Capital pays
Labor, full equivalent for what each re-
ceives from the other, and that they both
are of equal value to society, and confer
equal privileges and rights on their respect
i've owners. They hold that ope man owns
his Labor as justly as another owns his Cap
ital; and that it is as absurd to speak Of
Capital owning Labor by any natural law, as
OF Labor owning Capital. The first class
hold that they are antngonistio and different
in degree Of excellence and importance, and
that in like manner the Laborer aud Capt..
talist rank differently in the scale of human
ity, and have opposing interests. II follows
from the doctrines of such as these, and fol-
lows logically, too, that since these two
classes are thus opposed to each other, one
of the two must overpower and rule the
other, to prevent society from falling to
pieces, on The old principle that SO house
divided against houso fane,h.n It also
tol'ows that this division of all society into
two great classes, is not distinction of color,
or of race, or Of birth, but of Capitalist and
Laborer. 1t also follows, and tie leaders of
this school havo not hesitated to avow it,
that Capital should, Of right, and will, If
might, eventually own Labor; in other words,
that the Laborers will become the property
Of the Capitalists the world over, and that
then the Golden Age of Antiquity will re-
turn, and the Peace of universal control on
the one hand and universal submission on
the other, bless the weary world. Such
are the cardinal doctrines in the creed of
tue leaders of one of the great political
parties Of the day. They belong to what is
known as the Calhoun school of politics.
They are backed by body Of the largest
land-holders and most opulent capitalists of
the country, who have succeeded, after many
failures. in buying, body and soul, one of
the great political parties of the country, and
making it the instrument for carrying into
practice their creed as above stated. We
have spoken of failures. One was in the
lays Of the cold Roman" They attempted
to buy the Democratic party, and afterwards
to brighten it, under Jackson. His reply was
a threat to hang their arch.leader, Calhoun,
Gas high as Hannah" Times have changed
now, and those who call themselves the
Democratic party are now following the lead
Of the disciples of that same Calhoun.
There is always q party, however, in o
free country who uphold the common rights
of humanity, and to that party the affections
of the people will ultimately flow. That
party to-day is the great Republican party
of the Free States.

TIE ELLISON CALAMITY details of
the disaster at Ellison, Ill.,, are appalling
As near "a could be ascertained in the con.
fusion which prevailed, ninteen persons were
killed, fifty were seriously and many more
slightly injured. AS an evidence Of the
fearful force of the tornado, it is mentioned
that fragments of the bodies were scattered
in all directions. An iron safe weighing nine
hundred pounds was taken from Johnson's
store and carried thirty feet. Horses, cattle
and hogs were taken up by the wind, car
ried in the air, dashed to the earth, and
killed by the fall. 1t seems like tale Of the
horrors OF the terrible elemental cemmotions
of the tropics, or the sornadoes that have
swept the i.lands Of the torrid zone, bearing
destruction and havoc along their path.

Madame ISadora Clark.

Mime Clark is the daughter OF the late
Edward r. Hansen, the renowned Danish
Violinist and Composer, and who was among
the greatest solo players in his time. While
yet child, her passion and genius for music
were displayed in remarkable manner. At
the age Of ten she already accompanied her
father in his favorte solos on the piano, and
although not a part Of her profession, she
has high claims as a pianist. At later
time, she has performed duets with Ole Bull
Givoni, Hansen and Apply. At fourteen,
Isadora had become musical wonder, Her
voice attained a marvellous power and com.
pass, and being surrounded by artists of the
highest order, her musical education was Of
purest ID most classic order. About this
time she made her debut in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, and produced ytu-
rore among the musical world never before
equalled. 1t was then in her budding girl
hood, that the child-mu>ician won from en-
thusiastic audiences of the elite of the East,
the name eff the american Mocking- Bird
The Journal Of Commerce, speaking of her
voice at that time, says: "a voice capable
OF comprising four entire octaves, is what
we have never heard of before. Neither q
Cataline, no. a Pasta, Sontog, a Grisi,
or a Malibrau-all of whom we have had
the satisfaction of hearing-ever possessed
it,"
After a short tour in the United States,
Isadora, by the advice Of the leading critics
and her friends, went to Europe to complete
her musical education, where she.spent eight
long but pleasant years, wrapt in the study
of the great masters of music and the in.
structions of the best teachers which that
land of artists could produce; and she has
now returned to her native shore, laden with
the rich freight of those eight years of pa
.ient but loving labor, and blushing with the
honors already showered upon her at every
step.

AR1ZONA.-A resident of the "GadS
den Purchase" which it is proposed to
organize as a territory under the name
Of Arizona, sends the following brief
description of the natural resources
Of the country to the San Francisco Her.
aid:
"From geological indications, and
from actual Developments already
made, it is not improbable that this is
the richest mineral district in North
America. Already several enterprising
companies engaged in silver mining
near this place, Notwithstanding the
many inconvenience and difficulties
resulting from our situation, and the
absence Of an efficient government to
restrain evil doors, have succeeded so far
as to fully establish the fact that they
are in possession Of mines Of extraor-
binary richness, which only require
energy and time to return an ample re-
ward to the proprietors, and perhaps
initiate a state of things destined to
rival your golden California.
And so far from being a barren waste,
there is perhaps within the limits of the
proposed territory sufficient agri-
cultural lands to sustain million of
people.
We have a variety of climate and soil.
The bottom lands of the ella and its
tributaries are we'll adapted to the
growth of sugar and cotton, as we'll as
all kinds Of grain and most Of the gar.
den vegetables. This is proven by the
abundant harvest gathered by the Pimo
Indians with their imperfect mode Of
cultivation always having a profuse
supply for themselves, and a surplus
to sell to emigrants and others passing
on the road.
The farming lands in the vicinity of
Tucson furnish an instance of mex
haustable fertility not equalled even in
California. There are fields here which
for eighty consecutive years have yield
ed two crops annually-one of wheat.
one Of corn, and are at this time as
productive as ever.
Smut, rust and other diseases, which
blight wheat in most other countries
are unknown here, and good crop
may be relied upon, if properly cult
waited. Fruit trees thrive here, as the
orchards Of Tucson bear witness.
The climate Of this place is like that
Of Sacramento, consequently not as
pleasant as some parts Of California.
The writer says that the Apache In
dams are the scourge Of the country,
and the troops stationed there are mad
equate to control them. He also says
the country is greatly in need of terri
torial government on account Of its is
olation and increasing population, and
that it already has a larger population
than Washington or Nebraska had at
the time they received territorial gov
ernments. There are no courts, high
er than that of the justice of the peace,
nearer than Dona Una, New Mexico,
over three hundred miles distant. Hence
the expenses and trouble to obtain re-
dress for private wrongs, or to inAict
punishment upon public offenders
amounts to denial Of that protection
to life and property to which every
American is entitled.
