The Supreme Court of New York is
considering a singularly complicated
divorce case. Some time age, John L.
Phelps was divorced from his wife on the
ground of adultery with Armand F. Peug-
net, Vice Consul of France at Cincinnati.
Afterward, the lady broke off her ~acquain-
lance with Peugnet, and was remarked
to Phelps on promise of good behavior.
Again Peugnet seduced and drew her
away, and again Mr.. Phelps obtained a
divorce. Peugnet then married her, but
now demands a legal separation, on the
ground that the marriage was of no valid
ity in law. Mrs. Phelps-Peugnet must be
rather perplexed as to her identity by this
time.

AN ERROR ~REcTE
On the authority of a prominent Sena-
tor, it was stated last night in the dis
patches that Mr.. Fessenden had given in
dications in caucus of being weakened
on tho House reconstruction resolution.
His emphatic speech to-day sufficiently
corrects the mistnEO- and shows how m
just was the statement made concerning
him by his fellow members of the caucus.
THE lsTRoNG SUIT OF THE LEADING
SENATOR'S.
The leading members and their special
ties are about as follows:-Sumner, Anti
Slavery; Fessenden, Finance; Sherman,
Finance; Trumbull, Judiciary; James y.
Grimes, Navy; Henry Wilson, Military;
Zachariah Chandler, Commerce; james
R. DOolittle, Indian Affairs; Edgar Cowan
and Ira Harris, Law; John CONFESS and
james w. Nye, Interests on the Pacific;
Solomon Foot, Parliamentary knowledge;
Henry b. Anthony, Journalism; James
Guthrie, Finance; B. Gratz Brown and
John b. Henderson, Interests of Missouri
and the Northwest. When we reflect on
the many subjects which these men have
to study and the many interests depending
upon a faithful discharge of their duties,
we may look for an animated session.
THE RECONSTRUCTION RESOLUTION.
The House reconstruction resolution, as
passed in the Senate to-day, is precisely in
the shape to which last nights Senate eau
Gus changed it. Only Cowan, Dixon and
Doolittle of the Unionists voted against it.
They have been very earnest against it.
In the public estimation, the notifications
of the resolution hsEe destroyed its e~ficien-
cy; but it is understood to have been
agreed in caucus to follow the course in
dictated in the clause stricken out although
Senators thought it best not to tie their
hands by such an enactment. In the
House Mr.. Raymond was only able to get
the Tennessee credentials referred to the
committee provided for in the resolutions
thus passed, although he took care toavow
his personal preference for sending them
direct to the Election Committee, as IN any
ordinary case. 1t was known that the
President desired speedy action to be
taken on these credentials, and that Ray
mond spoke at his request, but the refer
ence TO the Thad. Stevens Committee is
considered certain to delay action for
months.

Since the division of the old Committee
on Ways and Means into three-on Ap-
preparations, Banks and Currency, and on
Revenue, the latter of which retains the
technical name Of Ways and Means"
the question has arisen whether Mr.. Ste
vens, the chairman of the Committee on
Appropriations, or Mr.. Morrill,, chairman
of that on Revenue, was the 'leader of the
House" Nh. Colfax.On being applied to
by Congressman to decide the point, said
that when tariffs, taxes or loans were pend
ing, the new Ways and Means Committee,
of which Mr.. Morrill, is Chairman, would
have the leadership, but when appropria-
tions we're pending, the Appropriation
Committee would have it, and that this
last would be of most frequent occurrence.
Thus while neither has the lead of the
House in the oldsense, Mr. Stevens retains
the position more nearly than any other
member. taci'fi9A nzl- no

In the afternoon Thanksgiving meeting
Principal Fairchild mentioned as an in

a time with a colored woman in North

had been honored by a letter from him
since he had been Governor of Tennessee.
The colored gentlemen mentioned are
our respected fellow c~itizons John L. and

The change in his position to-day is a

An Approximation for the Beneht Of

An Appropriation for the Bencft of
Mrs. Lincoln.
1t is understood that the subject Of an
appropriation for the benefit of Mrs. Lin
by the Joint cdh6atsdssp ms4BSssssHteA4 V Vaaa
of Congress on the death of President
Lincoln. The Union Senators and Rep
resentatives from Illinois have expressed
the desire that the sum appropriated
should be one hundred thousand dollars,
and we trust that there may be no hesita=
ton or delay in reporting a bill setting
aside that sum for our Presidents widow.
TruO, in the only precedent which our his
tory affords-that furnished by the death
of President Harrison in 1s41-the APP
propliation was only $4,000. But the
circumstances of the case are widely diff
ferent. President harrison died after only
a short period of service as Chief Magis-
trate of the United States. He died a
natural death. President Lincoln, on the
other hand, had given to the country four
years of such anxiety, care and labor as no
President had ever borne before. His
labors were just bearing their full fruit,
and he was looking forward to recon-
pense for his sufferings and trials in the
peaceful and happy work of re-uniting
the country. Just at this j%uncture, he
was murdered by an assassin-murdered
because of the services for which a peace
full people and aftridmphant Union now
revere hie nomory. The death of Presi-
don't Harrison came in the usual course of
natures the r~Arder of President Lincoln
was brought upon him byhi- labors and ser
vices in our cause, so that he may best-led
most ~truthfully and appropriately a mar
tyr for US. In considering what we ought
to do for his widow and orphans it does
not become US to be niggardly. The
amount proposed is what the President
would have received had he lived to COM
plete the term of service to which he was
reelected by a grateful people; and it is
certainly no more than a proper reeogni-
ton of his services, as well as a needful
provision for the wants of those who lost
their only supporter and protector in the
bereavement which robbed the country of
its chosen leader. We hope the appropri-
alton will be made, and made without OPP
position from any party Or clique sI
