THE TEST OATH PRONOUNCED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
There is no doubt now that the Supreme Court
Of the United States has decided the Missouri
test oath unconstitutional. Hon. FRANK P. BLAIR,
in speech recently made at Macon Mission, No.,
said:
I am here to-day, my friends, to tell you that
tho Supreme Court of the United States have al
ready decided that this Constitution is invalid and
void WAS told myself by ono OF the Judges of
the Supreme Court in Washington, and he told me
i'll addition that tho only reason why the announce
ment OF the decision was not made was, that the
minority of those who held that the law was con-
stitutonal tour Judges holding it constitutional
and five declaring it unconstitutionaD was the
four who begged that the announcement might be
postponed Gill the next term, which meets in De-
cembor. "a voice" Until after the election in
this Stately That language was not used, but it
amounted to that. can give my theory of this
matter, and L tell you what L know and what this
Judge told mo. Now, what 1 would say to you
would be this: IF any Registrar refuses to take
your vote, nobody can take the oath at least no
body can take it without perjury. believe it was
intended by Drake to exclude everybody who was
not willing to commit perjury.

WILMER &c SMrn's Liverpool Times, speaking
OF the recent appearance OF cholera among the
German emigrants, both on board ships aud in
the CITY of Liverpool, says: "It appears that the
German emigrants have been in the habit OF stow
ing away Quantities Of 'kraut' in their boxes, to
consume on the voyage to America" Will not the
Radicals in Congress pass an amendment to the
cholera quarantine resolution, making it the duty
OF the Secretary of the Treasury to stop the inn
portation and manufacture Of ''kraut," and to
seize all at present in the hands Of the German
population OF this couatry?

NICE COMMENT on DIvoRoEs.-Some parts of
the country, as is known, do Wholesale business
in divorces, aud without much rhyme or reason.
The loose manner in which they are granted is
often the subject of comment, but t!e strangest
case we ever heard Of is the following, reported
in the Louisville Courie, of tho 9th inst. the di-
vorce took place at New Albany, Indiana:
"a divorce was granted, among many others,
in the case OF Mccartney us. Mccartney, but nei-
ther OF the parties know anything or tho penden-
cy OF the suit; neither of them were present when
the decree was rendered, and only learned through
their friends that their marital bonds were sun
dered. They are, and have been, living together
most happily, entirely satisfied with ach other,
and are strongly disposed to demur to the singu-
lar and summary process by which their happy
relations were dissolved. How She case got into
court is entirely unknown to the parties, but it is
supposed to be the work of some mad Joker or
enyious Benedict. OF course the parties will have
to get married again or procure n reversal of the
decree: This is another and forcible illustration
OF the loose manner in which the divorce business
is managed in Indiana"

speaking OF tho foregoing rule of law: "The prin-

in court OF justice, who seeks to enforce con-
cal turpitude." $50 far T as tho rule p operates to
discourage the preparation OF an immoral or il
legal act, it is founded in the strongest reason,
but it cannot safely be pushed farther. If, for
example, the man who Imports goods for another,
by means of violation Of the laws Of his coun-
try, is disqualified from founding any action upon
such illegal tiop for the value freight Of
his goods, or any advances made on them, he is
justly punished for the immortality Of the act, and
powerful discourage from tho perpetration
