Tribunal of Pau, 10 France, capital of the Depar.-
,nent of the Lower Pyrenees, very curious trial,
resulting in tho notification of marriage
celebrated in England between 8 Frenchman
and an English woman, and valid by the law
of England, but lacking validity BY that Of
France, as the Cour: held. Tue suit was
brought by one N. de ", the elder brother OF the
BRIDEGROOM, N. Chen de Y, the defendant
case SIS Miss Ellen. II ItsPpeaIed in evidence that
Miss Ellen, in company with French lady.
Madame c., living at Pau, came, in the month OF
June. 1857. to the house Of Madame, the grand
mother of the bridegroom, for the sake Of seeing
religious procession-that favor having been asked
by Madame C., and granted b. Madame, the grand
mother. With her resided NJ. Cheri de ", her
grandson. who saw Miss Ellen, on that occasion for
the frs. time snd appears TO have fallen dead in
love with her. The very next day. h. paid Witt

Plans for kansas"

Correspondence Of tie Richmond Enquirer.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. s, lS5S.-There
are but two remedies applicable to the pre-
sent case Of Kousas each plainly stated by
MIR. Buchanan in his message. Ooe is to
refer the matter back to the people OF Kan
sas in their territorial character and permit
them to re-enact the farce OF attempting to
form another Constitution to be submitted to
a vote of the people for ratification. This
process might, or might not, occupy twelve
months. Certain it is, the Constitution
could not be prepared and acted on before
the adjournment Of the present session OF
Congress, and the admission OF the State
would necessarily be postponed another year:
Bv the use of the other remedy the evil
could be cured. and a healthy political action
produced 10 sixty days. Admit Kansas IN
der the Lecoupton Constitution, and refer
the subject back to the people IN their sov,
ereien capacity as State, to alter aud
amend it to suit the views Of the popular
maiority-tbis process would lie simple and
easy: aud would be attended with neither
violence nor party excitement. But, say the
Douglas Democrats, we are unwilling t.
force a Constitution upon the people of Kan
sas, even for sixty days. This Is, indeed,
the strong poiut in their argument. But
they forget, that by rejecting the Lecompton
Constitution they force upon the people OF
Kansas tue present Territorial Government
which has been resisted and repudiated by
the entire anti LecomptOn party, and pre-
nounced bogus aud illegal by them NV
