R6-A novel case of habeas corpus.

"a A novel case of hAbeas corpus, in
volving curious and important questions OF
law. was recently tried before Judge s. NJ.
Moore of the Circuit Court. Covington, XIV.
A resident of that city. named William Ross
a short time since, became enamored with his
step daughter, Margaret Coleman. who re-
cprocated his affections. and marriage en-
gagement was the consequence. But the af-
fianced pair found that their relationship was
among the degrees prohibited by the laws OF
Kentucky. But the river was easily passed,
and once in Ohio the restraints of the law
would be removed, marriage between blood
relatives alone being prohibited in that State.
They accordingly visited Cincinnati, were uni
ted in matrimony, and returned home reioic-
ing. The friends Of the parties, however,
were dissatisfied with the nuptials. and deter
mined to separate them. The girl being a
few months under 81 years OF age--the peri
cd of female majority in Kentucky-and till
the time OF her marriage having been under
the guardianship Of q man named Hall, but
who had resigned as soon as that event had
taken place. guardian by the name OF Eli.
sha Coleman, relation Of the lady's, was
appointed for the occasion, and a writ of ha-
beus corpus was sued on Rose, commanding
him to produce his wife before Judge Moore.
and show by wha, authority she was detained
by him. The proper evidences of the mar.
riage was produced. and the fact that she was
more than eighteen years of age. which con-
cluded the period OF her infancy at the place
where the marriage was solemnized, were pro-
duced in Court. The attorneys for the guar
dian claimed tina. as the parties were resi-
dents OF Kentucky, marriage elsewhere, to
evade the laws OF the State was null and void.
The Judge sustained this position, nullified
the marriage. and gave the lady into the GUS
tody Of Dir. Coleman.

u There was an extraordinary scene re-
Gently in the Territorial Legislature of New
Ne xico. At the last session law was passed
protecting slave property in the Territory
Judge Kethley, the Speaker of the House,
introduced bill repeating this law. de-
bate ensued, and the bill was laid on the ta-
bic till the next day. In the mean time. the
news spread like wld6re all over Santa Fe,
and the members were summoned in hot
haste. The following morning. on entering
the House the Speaker was handed copy
OF the proceedings Of Committee appointed
by the members of the House, the substance
of which was that they could never consent
to have any person preside over them who
could dare to introduce SO anh-Democratic a
billbefore such a hig toned National Dem
ocratic House of Representative; and, in pur-
suance Of instructions received at .he caucus
held the previous night. Mr.. Cutler intro
duced resolution declaring the Speaker 5
chair vacant; and. after considerable delay
10 excusing members from voting, the resolu
ton was carried in the affirmative. Mr.. Cul-
Ter was elected TO the vacant seat, and imme-
dlatey qualified as Speaker of the House
The object OF the measure was to induce the
belief that the people of New Mexico are IA
vorable to Slavery, when really nothing Is
further from the truth. The existence of the
law for the protection of slave property was
hardly known to the member, of The Legls
lature until the bill for its repeal was intro
duced.

| The number applications for divorce
and judicial separation which have been be-
fore the Divorce Court. not long since estab-
hshed in England. has been the subject Of
much comment in the English press, the Lon
don Times being prominent in that discus
sion. and maintaining that the wife has been
generally to blame. The Springfield Repub-
hcan. adverting TO this idea in connection
with soma recent doms site events in this
country. has the following remarks:
In great many of these cases we should
blame the wives less if We knew their secret
history. 1t is their duty to ..suffar and be-
strong. and many are the wives who fulfil
this hard duty, whose secret sorrow the world
will never know. Nay. the husband himself
IS often unconscious of the silent pain which
he might remove and would il he were aware
OF it. Many husband thinks that he fultills
all the duties Of the sacred relation. 10 whom
the wife looks in vain for that intimate SYM
pathy and affection which every woman re-
quires. The life OF woman's heart is love-
She instinctlvely Graves it. and is desolase
without it. There must be in the real sacra-
ment of matrimony tenderness OF love, q
fondness, mutual interchange Of delicate
and sensitive regards. which language fails TO
express. but which every man or woman Who
has truly loved instinctively understands and
appreciates.
With too many men this manifestation OF
the tender sentiment ends with courtship, and
marriage brings only cold respect and fidelity
better thousand times, OF course, than un.
faithfulness and estrangsment-bu not salts
flying to the highest demands Of the heart.
The original fault often
lies with the husband. The neglect of the
husband is often the beginning Of the evil
The husband is bound not only to love but
to scherish" the wife. II she is left in pow
erty and desolation of heart to seek else where
the love her nature requires. let not the hus-
band consider himself the innocent and
injured party. He may have been faithful,
but no should have been fond. and thus the
love Of the courtship and the honeymoon
would have deepened and strengthened. As
the true pair ..clomb the hill thegither." and
there would have been no room there for an
interloper.

mocracy in New Haven, CT, where they
drove the German voters from the polls on

gives another illustration. in the election in
that city: Charles Coulon, German. the
special friend of Douglas, and a candidate
for Justice of the Peace. was defeated by
SAL votes-recevlng a smaller support than
any man on the ticket. Anthony Elnetz, an
