MAnnIAoE VIA A DECEASED wrrE,s slsrrR..

MARRIAGE WIN DECEASED WIFE's SISTER,
We cannot understand Notwithstanding all
the enactments and the judicial expoundinss of
such enActnents which we have rcad--how it
comes that marriage with deceased wifes STA.
ter has been particularly obnoxious to tho
English law and 10 the law in some of our Statcs
The old aud veryproper reasons against marriage
within the Lovitical degree of consanguinity have
no application-and no rule ofpropricty or com.
mon sense that we ever heard of sustains the
prejudice of the law against such alliances.
For NIL this We sec no likelihood of any change
in the English law on the subject Indeed the
weight ofthc law is brought more severely than
over to bear such marringes--as shown bY
case in the last English papers. We read that
The question of the legality of marriages with
a deceased wifeS sister has, in consequence of
the decision of Justice CrOSSwcll, and more r..
Gently Of that of the Vice Chancellor in the case
of Brook dgt. Brook, to which we have hereto.
fore alluded, given rise to considerable discus
sion in England. The opinion of the latter
judge fully sustains that Of his brother on the
bench, and il may be considered settled
that n nNrriRgc between man and his deceased
wife's sister, both being British subjects, per.
formed in foreign country, the laws Of which
recognise such marriages, is null and invalid
according TO the Law Of England
Against the severity OfthiS decision an earnest
protest has just been made at the annual meet.
ing of the Protestant dissenting ministers Of the
Presbyterian, Independent and Baptist denomi.
nations, residing in and about London, who
adopted series of resolutions declaring that
the marriage of man with the sister Of his de-
ceased wife is not forbidden by divine law, and
ought not TO be forbidden by human law; that
the pressure OF the English law which declares
such marriages To be invalid is much aggravated
by the opinion Of Mr.. Justice CreSswCll, to the
effect that such marriages, although performed
in country where they arc lawful are not con-
Ecquently lawful in this country; and that as
this decision afFsts many marriages already con-
tracted, as well as others which may be in
in contemplation, 1T is now more necessary 10
make strenuous excrtions for the repeal Of tho
existing law.
The bill introduced in the House of Commons,
by Lord Bury. for the repeal Of the law, is still
under consideration, and from the Provcrbial
Slowness which attends social and constitutional
reforms in England may fail TO become law az
this session of Parliament That thepudlic feeling
is in favor Of the measure there is little doubt.

Land Ahead

We notice that ali the Free State paper.
of Kanzas are running wild about Tn
BRIBE offered by the English edition of the
Leeompton sHindle.
Now we do think, and always hav,
thought, that the people of Kanzas have toC
much sense to imagine for one moment tha
by offering them the English bill; for had
that been the object, it would have beer
left as first smenned by the Senate, with
the addition of having it voted upon by the
people as it now is.
What do we gets Just 98, $50 acres, Oh
about 1 townships of land, and this only,
provided there are six salt springs In the
Territory; and suppose there are none, then
we get 52, ,480 acres, amounting to just
nothing at all.
We hope the people of Kanzas will vote
down the thing, and that because il is the
offspring of illegitimate action.
The people have once declared that they
would not have anything to do with it, by
the largest vote that has ever been poIled in
this Territory, when they were offered more
tnan nifty times the amount Of land they
now are, and when much more might have
been gained than can now be, by becoming
State; and it is folly to suppose that where
so much intelligence and virtue is to be
found, as is seen in our people, that they will
depart from first principles, especially when
but seven months intervene betweeen the
different times of action.
We cannot speak for other portions OF
the Territory, but we do know that Frank.
lin county viii be found all right on this, as
she Is on other Constitutions that emaDatf
from corrupt source, and we predict 40C
votes against it; and we believe that every
county in Kanzas viii give a larger vot
against this instrument on the first Mon
day in August next, than has ever been Civ
en- on any question for or against. and then
the tax-paying part of the people will be
content to remain Territory for some time
to come-MinneoLa Statesman
