CAUSE OF DIvoRcE.--In the Georgia Supreme
Court at Macon, on Monday, Judge Lyon, In
passing upon divorce case before the Court,
took the position that personal violence was
not necessary TO constitute cruel treatment
and remarked that there were degrade tions,
insults, neglects and annoyances which the
ingenious malice of a brutal husband could In
flict upon "a wife, to which, in kind and char.
act ter, corporeal punishment would be q kind
ness. He said the extent of the cruel treat.
ment must be considered by the jury, and that
it was their province to determine whether,
under the circumstances of the case, o total
or partial divorce should be granted.

nara case.-Ihe parties implicated in the
hileged abduction of certain Africans from
near cape Leoando, in the brig Storm King,
captured many months since on the Guinea
coast, have all been tried and a.quitted. after
having had their vessel and personal effects
taken from them by the self sacrificing ma :
rines OF Uncle sam, (for their own benefit t.
and having suffered many weary months OF
Imprisonment in ioathsome iails Those OF
| the parties that 1t was deemed necessary to
make an example of, comprised but a small
moiety OF those at first arrested, and there
after detained at SO heavy an expense to
the Government; yet, as we have said,
they Were acquitted when brought before
Judge Halyburton. In saying this, we
are slightly in error-one unfortunate fel-
low, called, we believe, John Lockhart
was excepted from the general amnesty
The Government did not choose to put him on
trial on the evidence, (Which was to the effect
that he was found aboard the Storm King,
and claimed to be q passenger, no doubt fear
ing that jury would see nothing in man s
wishing to leave so hot place as the Guinea
coast. Lockbart was then sent to the county
Jail for safe keeping, and since then the agents
OF the nearly deceased Uncle Sam have been
perambuiating the country, at his expense, to
search up testimony to convict one OF his chill
dren. 1t is very pleasant to travel at other
peoples cost, but we submit that all this
extra exertion, to make Lockhart permanent
resident rs Penitentiary convict, savors ra-
ther more of spite than desire to see n man
judged on the merits of pending accusations.
About four years since certain officers Of the
General Government in this city spent nearly
s4o, 900 in conyicting man of defrauding the
United States of S246. 1t was n costly illus.
tration of the beauty of law. Let us not have
repetition. Now, Lockhart is entitled to a
trial. The U. S. Attorney will be here from
New York on the 23rd, and should give the
poor devil show. If, prior to his being found
on the "Storm King he aided to convert
the heather Africans in to respectable darkies,
let it so appear, and the penalty of SO doing
be exaeted. If not, let Lockhart go hence
without delay. The prisoner is certainly en- ii
tied TO show of hands before a Jury of his
countrymen. Let him have it. II the trial
does not take place soon, mayhap Virginia
will have to punish him as the administrator
