A Novel Cnse-Too Young to Marry Vet.

The Cincinnati Press states that novel case Of hail.
cas- corpus, involving curious aud important questions
law, was tried before Judge S. NJ. Moore of the Cl.
Court, Covington, Kentucky, recently A resident Of
that city, named VIM. Ross, a short time since bean
enamored with his step-daughter, Margaret Co.cmm
who reclpl coated his affections, and marriage tUgag
ment was the consequence. But the alianced pair Ou
that their relationship among the degrees prohibited
by the laws of Kentucky. But the river was easily
passed, and once in Ohio the restraints Of law would
removed-marrage between blood relatives alone benz
prohibited in that State. They accordingly visited
Cincinnati, were united in matrmOny, and returned
home rejoicing. The friends of the parties however
were dissatisfied with the nuptias and determined to
separate them.
The girl being few months under twenty-one years
OF age-the period of female majority in Kentucky
and till the time of her marriage having been under r
guardianship OF man named Hall, but who had Re
signed as soon as that event had taken place guardian
named Elisha Coleman, relation of the lady, was AZ,
pointed for the occasion, and writ OF hab.as CORPUS
was sued on Ross, commanding him to produce BIS vile
before Judge Moore, and show by what authority 81,
was detained by him. The proper evidences Of the mar
rage were produced, and the fact that she more than
eighteen years OF age, which concluded the period -
infancy at the place where the marriage Was soemnZ1
were produced IN court. The attorneys for The guada
claimed that as the parties were residents OF kclu
marriage elsewhere, to evade the laws OF that olas
was null and void.
The judge sustained this position, nullifed the mar
rage, and gave the lady into the custody OF Mr. C~

B6g~ Mr.. Potter, of Wisconsin, recently challenged
by Mr.. Pryor, of Virginia, is said to be very large
powerful man, while Mr. Pryor is quite slender Potter
contends that Pryor would have all the advantage over
him with firearms, since there would be so much more
OF him Poter to aim at. OF course Pryor is opposed
to boWekniVes' as with Potters immense physical su-
periority there would be no equality in the combat at
all.
The rumor that Potter had offered rifles, or anv other
firearms is not we'll founded. Pryor would have &C
cepted rifles. Of course Potter's friends represent
Pryor as having backed out The bitter, and indeed
brutal animosity felt towards Mr. Pryor by the New
York Herald and its correspondents as we'll as the DO
hca hatred entertained by the Tribune, cause these
papers to represent the affair in the most unjust and in
furious manner, so far as Mr.. Pryor Is concerned.

The john Brown RAID-MoRE REVELATIONS
The New York Herald, of Monday, contains what pur
ports to be correspondence between Gov. Robinson
and Redpath aud others, relating to affairs IN Kansas
and the John Brown raid, which makes some curious de-
veopmens The corresI Ondtnce duplicates the leaders
Of the Republican party IN the John Brown conspiracy
and shows that the events in Kansas but preimi-
nary to the raid at Harpers Ferry, both being part of
the scheme OF revolution concocted and organized
four years ago. When Robinson examined before
the Senate Investigating Committee be said that John
Brown and Redpath were the only leaders in Kansas
State party had connection with them, and would
not obey them 1t appeares from the correspondence
that Robinson himself of the most ultra Of
the revolutionary leaders, oustrppng IN atrocity

Not only did he endorse him by certificates and
address TO the Tiers of Kansas but he colby pro-
posed to him to assassnate all the leading Federal or

inson sought to bring all the Northern States into the
civil war which about being inaugurated in Kan
and that they proceeded thence to the East for that
purpose The following extract from the letter of
Redpath to Phillips:
You perhaps remember, just before the sack OF Law
by the border ruans, that Robinson started East
for one, could not understand why he should want to
leave at such tme and urged him strenuousy to stay;
and when pressed tor a to bis departure, he
told me that he the whole country going to be
involved in civil war, and that he going to the free
