In Christ the union of the whole four
is first in Importance, and the UNION Of
the pairs secondary. It's not enough
that a is married TO B, making the
dual unit A B, and c to ID, making the
dual unit G ID. The unit A b ought
to be married to the unit @ d, making
the quadruple unit A B G d. In tho

to the pair g d, it is the dictate of Tho
duality and self evident demand Of

should face the woman fthe other.

THEIR REPUTATION AMONG THEIR sEToH.
BoRs.

However terrible the doctrines and
practices of the free lovers, their rep
utation with their neighbors is If the
best kind. AS citizens they have, al.
wavs been highly esteemed by all who
have been brought IN contact with
them by business or otherwise. The
articles of their manufacture and tho
fruits Of their culture arc held in high
estimation by purchasers. The arti.
cles manufactured or produced by the
Shaker communities have always been
in demand by the public. The free
lovers bid fair to rival them, if, indeed,
they do not equal, them at present.

THE FORM OF OUR GOVERNMENT CHANGED.
We have repeatedly asserted that the
form of the United States Government was
changed by the war. Governor Ticknor
Curtis, of New York, in recent letter,
thus alludes to the same fact:
elm my view, therefore, we are brought
to definite issue, which can be easily
seen. We have changed the form of our
Government from the supremacy Of a
written Constitution to the supremacy OF
the will of party welding the physical
power of the nation. The issue is, whether
this is to continue and to be permanent
condition, or whether we are to revert to
the Government of our Fathers. 1t is said
that revolutions never so backwards.
Whether this one will be an exception 1t
NAV require more than mortal prescience to
foresee. We have as yet had but very lit
tie TO encourage us in the hope that it may
be so; for it is plain that since we ceased
to be at actual war we have not chosen to
restore the conditions Of actual peace,
although we could easily have done it; and
that while the Constitution might have re-
sumed it's rghtful supremacy over our
actions, we have not permitted it TODD So"

menting upon Attorney General Stan.
bery's opinion on the military reconstruc.
ton act, says:
"Can a chimera, Illuminating in vacu-
UNI, devour second intentions The mys-
terry Of the law was never more fully ex-
hibited than in the opinion Of Attorney
General Stanbery on the working of the
DISTINGUISHING clauses in the military re-
construction acts. 1t is an opinion fear
fully and wonderfully made. 1t passeth
understanding. He who reads it carefully
and comes out of that labor with a reason
able belief that two and two make four,
has an intellect that will endure almost any
ordeal. We do not propose to criticise it.
1t is as much out of the line of our reason
as would be a disquisition on fOre0rdina-
tion and decree, or any of those metaphy-
steal puzzles which the more a man stu
dies the more bewildered he becomes.
Those who are fond of solving conun-
drums can try their hand at this opinion.
1t will last them lifetime. For future
commentators it affords splendid field of
study. 1t is capable of being enlarged
upon, annotated, answered, butted, re-
butted, sur-rebutted, joindered, rejoinder-
ed, and sur-rejoindered. 1t can be taken
up inductively or alphabetically, and will
stand the test of either Baconian or So
cratic logic"

New ORLEANS, May 31.-Advices from
Havana of the 18th instant per steamer
Liberty are as follows:
Captain General Manzenap has notified
the consular agent of Juarez to quit Cuba
in eight days. The causes of this act do
not appear. 1t may be in some way con-
nected with the recent triumph Of the
Liberals and their circumstances against
the open help rendered the Imperialsts by
the Spanish Government in the shape of
men and arms.
The American barque Ocean Home has
been appraised at $4,000.
The sugar and molasses warehouse of
the McKenzies was destroyed by fire on
the night of the goth. Insured for s45,0 900.
The steamer r. K. Cuyler is to be brought
to this port.
The French steamer Sonora arrived here
to- day from Vera Cruz. She confirms the
reported surrender of Macmillan. The
Vera Cruz officials were only awaiting the
official confirmation of the news to surren-
der the city.
The British brig Kurea, from New York,
was wrecked on the southern coast OF
Saona. The captain, crew, and passen-
ger named Giddings, were saved. Part OF
the cargo will be saved.
Brig Fleetly, from Boston for Jacmiel,
had been wrecked on the northern side of

act. has Just been completed in New Or
leans. and the record Of the case forwarded
10 the President for approval. The case
was that Of one J. W. Walker, who killed
a freedman, and was arrested and acquitted
hy the civil tribunal. On his being arrested
by the military authorities, he was tried
bya commission, and sentenced to hard
labor and imprisonment for six years. An
effort is being made to get the man par
doned on the ground that the crime was
committed before the reconstruction law
was passed, and that the life of the de-
isndant had been twice put in jeopardy, con-
irary to the Constitution OF the United

impossibility of the diocesan to pay the

proper official supervision. The division
cannot actually take place until the meet
