COnjugal Infelicity Among the
Purirans.

Speaking Of conjugal infelicity among
the Puritans, and especially of the HARRIS
divorce case, the Chicago Times says:
"Where,excepti in the home of and among
the Puritans, could scene like that de-
scribed below occur, and whose dramatic
character is heightened by the fact that it is
painted by young and innocent daughter
OF the parties? s3rssr
,7-ssOne morning and Edith were in the
bathroom bathing; father had bible in
his hand and came in; heard mother say,
prayers this morning after your abuse of
meT father then struck mother several
times; saw her back three or four days af-
ter !; 1t was all black and blue; was pres
ent in court when Miss Drudy and Miss
Roddy swore to Mr.. Fred. Miners rushing
into the kitchen with his clothes down; no
such event ever took place; went into moth
er's room on one occasion and saw the bed
and mothers clothes all wet.'"
1 "This is the testimony before the divorce
court of little girl only 13 years OF age.
What story for child to tell to the world
of her parents! Her young lips, as they
gave utterance to her fathers brutality and
denial of-her mothers shame, are tainted
with the flow of the stream of knowledge;
already are foul thoughts and imaginings
lof things that she ought not to know
crowding into her heart.
"And then the picture itself! Where but
In godly New England could such group
ing as this be produced? The father with
the bible in his grasp, and his lips just
closed from prayer, proceeding to lay ruff
fianly hand upon his adulterous wife in the
presence of an innocent little girl. In
what other part of this wicked footstool
could one find such combination-prayer
and adultery, the bible and brutality, the
name Of God reverently introduced into
this melange, and the only pure thing there

The Radicals and the AbrOgatfOn

HE nk0Atc0l0 ana Inc ADrOButtOm
7a0f Martial Law I'm Kentucky.
There is terrible bowling among the
Radicals over the action of President JOHN
SON in abolishing martial law in Kentucky.
Here is the wall of one of them who writes
from Frankfort to the Cincinnati Gazette:
sThe abrogation of martial law in Ken
lucky falls with crushing weight upon the
Union men here, aud of course fills the
rebel mind with exultation. 1t is not merely
another triumph of rebels over loyal men.
but it is blow from the Administration
stunning in its present effect, and fills the
mind with dismal forebodings for the tu-
ture."
The writer of this paragraph is one of
the dirty dogs who have kept the Border
States under perpetual "reign of terror"
during all the years Of the war, and have
fattened and flourished in the fiendish work
Of prosecuting and prosecuting their neigh
bors and former benefactors. Upon this
class 'the sbrogation of martial law falls
with crushing weight"-for now, their oc-
cupation's gone! n.t
But the true and substantial men of Ken
tucky are rejoicing that freedom once more
blesses their noble State. and that the rule
of petty tyrants therein is at an end.
We find the following dispatch in Tues
days Cincinnati Commercial, under date of
Lexington, Oct. l6:
"a large meeting was held to-day to ex-
press the thanks OF the people to the Pres
ident for removing martial law. 1t was at
tended by all the leading and influential
citizens of the city and neighborhood.-
Speeches were made by Gen. Houston and
NJ. c. johnson, President of the Northern
Bank. The latter gentleman gave the de-
tails of>his interview with the President,
as Chairman of the committee sent to
Washington to secure the removal of mar
tial law. Resolutions were adopted thank
ing the President, indorsing his reconstruc-
tion policy, &c.
The masses of the people hail this action
of President JOHNSON as the harbinger OF
better days, as the herald of a new era, for
Kentucky. ,..--

thought is taking the place of excitement
of the past four years; and men will study
their own interest and be led away by the
frenzy of Fanatics-and we see the first
fruits of 1t in the diminished votes In Ohio.

AESSRS. EDITORS: ,hiG .''-
have often wondered at the tenacity
with which some men hold to their politi-
cal views. But this is not to be wondered
at when we see fanaticism coupled with it.
We find in the past history of parties in
this country, that the old liberty party has
never taltered. Defeat has only given them
new impetus to greater efforts, and after
thirty years defeat they have succeeded in
securing every branch Of the General Gov
ernment. Having secured the abolition of
slavery, they have started out upon q new
expedition OF universal suffrage. They
have met with defeat In Connecticut the
clarion notes Of the conflict is sounded by
Beecher through his paper (the Independ-
anti on the eve of defeat. But how unlike
Beecher are thousands of Democrats who
pine at defeat, and declare they will make
no more efforts to save the Government
from further disgrace or to preserve it in
purity as our fathers made it, and hand It
down to our children as a purely White
Mans Government. Not only do we find
this Generalization in the common ranks
Of the party, but the press and the leaders
fail to exhibit that zeal which is manifested
in the Abolition ranks. While the cam
paign is in full blast, there Is no cause of
complaint; but so soon as that is over and
the result Is against US, the sail drops to the
mast, and the old Democratic ship floats al
most without helmsmen. This Is not GER
tainly the case with the Abolitionists. The
pulpit belches forth with new energy; the
priest and the demagogue renew the cam
paign. with increased vigor. The campaign
never ends with them, while with us it ends
with the evening Of election. 1t will
need the best energies and abilities
of the party to prepare the minds
of the people and arouse the masses to the
danger to which we are exposed. We have
to battle religious fanaticism as well as po-
litical; and the first is worse than the last
to combat, as it has the greatest influence
over the minds of its followers. Beecher
says: "Let political leaders take note that
the moral element in American politics is
to increase, not to decrease. The enlight-
ened conscience Of the American people is
now irrevocably pledged to equal rights;
that almost every great representative reli-
gi0us body that has met since last spring
has voted overwhelmingly in favor of the
Acknowledgement Of the negro" Them of
course, what the press fails to do, the
churches will; and 1t becomes an everyday
duty for them before and after election.
While you will see thousands of Democrats
whining about defeat, and declaring it is no
use of going to election; that we tried and
failed, and tried and failed again. Now,
let us away with such whimpering, and
buckle on the whole armor for another
fight. We have morally won victory; and
with renewed vlgor press forward from de-
feat to Victory next fall. The second sober

the House of Representatives is composed
Of lG5 Members, of whom 6s are Republi-

This is a sufficiently large majority; but
nothing like the majority the Republicans
had in the last General Assembly. 1t is a
great improvement wrought in two years.
