4 DIVORCES MADE EASY FOR THE NEGRo.
--Copsidcrable merfimentSis is being made by
some Of the Mo- uern press over the recent
order Of Colonel ..omas, regulating marriages
for freedmen in accordance with the ordinail-
ces of God and the Constitution Of the United
States. But there is q General Rufus Sax
ton, who has charge of the Freedmen's Bu,t
reau in the two Carolinas and Georgia, who
throws our superintendent the shade. Col
Thomasahas some show of reason, in conse-
quence Of there being no State laws regulating
the marriages of negroes. But Saxton goes
long ways ahead of him, and regulates the
whole thing-not only the marriage, but also
fixes getting out place for those who get
tired Of married life We have no room for
all his regulations on the subject, but the fol-
lowing are dainty:
TEEtH "A husband living with wife,
having no children by lfer, may be permitted
to take a previous wife, provided
!, lie have children by such wife, who are
still minors. II.
2. That such wife have no other husband
known to be living.
q Yhat his present wife assent to such
change of their married relations. &
:
fuse, upon application made by the husband,
to renew her former marriage relation with
him, he may notify some society or church of
the fact of such refusal, and ask for relief
from said wife,, If, after due notice given by
such society or church to, the wife refusing,
she fail to show any moral Or legal objection,
as provided for in these regulations, to the re-
newal of her former marriage relations with
him, then the society or church actipg in the
case, shall gruDt to the man II release from all
the obligations to her as husband, and for
the support of all his children by her.
The tendency of these. regulations is GER
tainly calculated to impress the negro with
very lofty regard for one Of the most sa@red
institutions of Christian society! There are
doubtless some white people that would like
to shuttle off the matrimonial coil as easily us
is here prescribed. - Nchs}u,y Herald.

Comlcai Law Suits.


From time immemorial the populace have
loYed to circulate anecdotes at the expense of
those very useful officers denominatei Justices
Of the Peace. Probably the most humorous
book in the world would be one which would
colitain all the jokes, stories and bonmots con
,nected with the administration of the law in
Magistrates offices. ..s.,,s i 4.,-, a
A friend related to us recently diverting
story of the very great perplexity in which
three worthy ord Justices of Hamilton we're
cntanged by the mischievous sophistry of two
willy old lawyers of the same county.
A worthless fellow was arraigncd before the
Justices for a preliminary examination on the
charge of perjury Judge Keith appeared
for the prosecution, and Levi ,Trewhitt for tho
defendant, both old, able and adroit lawyers,
who were as familiar with all the sharp turns
of the law as Paul Morphy is with the combi.
nations of the chess board.
Judge Keith objected to one of the Jus
ticcs on the ground that he was.warmly pref
udiced in, favor of the defendant, and would
therefore not do justice to the State His
objection was nevertheless overruled. Moth
ing discouraged, the, prosecution tried new
tack, and had tho ebnpxious Justice subpco-.
naed as witness for the State The remain
ing two Justices hemincd and hawed for some
time, but finally came to the conclusion that
Judge Keith had the right to subpoena any
witness he chose. a soon as the motion was
granted the prosecutor demanded that the
witness be sent out Of the room during the
examination, which was granted also. 1g
Mr.: Trcwhitt was not TO. be outwitted in
this manner, so he instantly moved n subpoena
for the other two Justices, as witnesses on his
side, which the accommodating Magistrates
granted, retiring in like manner, as their pre-
decessor had done from the room; Here was
nice state of affairs the three squircs all
out of. the room, and nobody present except
the defendant, two lawyers, and a witness or
two. 1t was, however, exactly ywhat, Trcwhitt
wanted, for he stepped to his client and whis-
percd in his ear, :" Now slip out of doors and
run, you rascal, MS fast as your legs can take
you, and never show your E,co here again"
The fellow complied, and when the three jus
tices returned, Trewhitt coolly told them that
his. client had cleared himself

ment which We are glad to cay has, under
the energetic management of Major Nc.
Phail and his able assistants, fully met the
requirements Of the occasion, and the men
who have been properly mustered out and
discharged have been paid of with
Esptdity and promptuess highly creditable
to the officer in charge. Those not famil-
lar with the duties of the position can have
no true conception of the amount of labor
performed. Paymasters and their clerks
are compelled to work far into the night
to keep up with the demand upon their
services. Yet the work has been promptly,

ed, TO the great advantage of the many
soldiers who were anxious TO get to their
homes. For the week ending June Sd,
there were scattering lots of troops who
had been mustered out of hospitals and
those whose terms would expire prior
to the 6rst OF October paid off tothe number
of seVen hundred and 6ftyr besides consid-
cradle number of men who were discharged
for disability and other CAUSES. We are
sati. fed that whenever the men are prop-
erIy mustered out and come with their
muster rolls and papers regularly and
correctly made out, they will meet With no |
delay 30 far as the pay department at this
post is responsible. The PaymAster-in-
chief in this department has decided that
where the men enlisted for three yesrs and |
have served two yeors and been houorsbly |
discharged by order ofthe War Department,
they are then entitled to the $500 govern
ment bounty. he has also expressed the
opinion that the members of Cspt. Hamil-
tons company of Independent E1empts, are
entitled the bounty, and recommended that
it be allowed. Their mastering rolls how
ever, does not show that they were to re
ceive it, and the matter awaits the decision |
OF the War Department.
Fer the sake of the soldiers who have so

Mr.. Ewing then moved that the trans.c.
ton of cipher, said to have been found At

for the reason that it bore on its face an
evidence that It was fictitious, and that
upon the plaiuest rules of evidence it was

shown to have been addressed to any per

Judge Bingham said it was alleged in
the charge and specifications that this con.
sPiracy Was entered into by some known

was well established that letter written
and never delivered, was admissible on a
trial of conspiracy. II had been shown
that Booth plotted the assassination with
the agents of the rebellion in Canada, who
weighed him out the price of blood; that
1t fell to the lot of one of the conspirators
