MARRYING CmILDREN.-An officer Of
the United States steamer Georgetown
writes from Bombay, that he has just
attended the marriage oftwo children
with all the solemn rites of the
Church. who were each only five years
old. Children are there married by
their parents when mere infants. They
think it great disgrace not to be
married at five years old. A boy un-
married at six is an old bachelor.

The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.--It has
been intimated by the N. Y. Evening
Post, that the scientific persons inter-
ested in laying the submarine tele-
graph are well aware of the futility of
the project, and that it must end in
failure. 1t charges that the intended
attempt at relaying is mere pretext
to keep the stock at sclli9 mark in
market; and that it was,dsseovered at
the last attempt, before'the cable part
ed, that all electrical communication
with land had ceased; and, to prevent
this fact from becoming generally
known, the cable was sufferedto break.
1t further states, that on land no cir
cult over six hundred miles in extent
has ever been successfully worked.

AcquitaI of Gen. Lane.

The LeaysnwOrth Daily Ledger Of the I'd instant
announces the acquittal of General LANE of the
charge of killing JENKINS. The decision of the
court was to this effect:
''In making out a case against the defendant it
was necessary, rst to prove that murder had been
committed; and, secondly, by General Lane. The
prosecution had failed to establish the first The
court were unanimously Of the opinion that muir
der had been committed; and the Territory hav-
ing failed to establish this primary fact the only
charge contained in the affidavit, the defendant,
General Lane; was accordingly discharged
A correspondent of the Ledger, writing from Law
renee, where the trial was held, says:
''Ths decrsion, though generally expected, is not
universally approved Col S. W. EIdridge denouncss
it bitterly He told Justice Ladd, just after the
decision, that if he (Eldridge) ever brought be-
fore him. and convicted of any crime he WOuld shoO
him as true rs fate.
"There is nothing in this decision to prevent the
grand jury indicting Lane, if so disposed By ex
press statutory provision, the evidence, together
with the decision, must be submitted to them by the
clerk Of the district court The examination having
been so full and, Witha fair it is very doubtful
whether the grand jury will ever another pre-

~ We asserted several days ago that the people
Of Kansas had an opportunity Of voting on the Le-
compton Constitution. The Banner saw fit to ques-
tiou that declaration, and quotes the Presidents
message to show that the rhoe Of the constitution
VAS not submitted to popular vote. We have not
ontsndsd that such was the case but do insist that
the people had an opportunity Of voting on the
Constitution" Sach is the language constantly
used in the discussions in Congress when speaking
Of the election of Dec. 81 and such is the Language
which we used in the article, which has furnished
the Bonner material for so much quibblng. None
Of our readers understood to mean that the entire
constitution wss submitted to vote of the people.
