sea- The Austrian Reichsrath has
passed law of the utmost social i'm
portance Hitherto, the law of the
State has upheld the law OF the
Church, that marriage is a sacrament.
and not civil contract. Conseauen-
thy all marriages, other than those
solemuized by the clergy of the Ro-
man Catholic Church, have been held
void. Through this law the entire
social or family system has been sub
Jected to the rule and government of
the Church. As a consequence, mar
riage has been surrounded by reig-
ious restrictions and obligations which
have had the effect OF repressing
marriage. Vienna, therefore, has a
larger percentage Of children born
out OF wedlock thar any other part
OF Europe; in fact. those born Of mar
ried parents are much fewer than the
others.
The Reichsrath has modified this
law by legalizing all civil marriages,
thus leaving it optiona! with the
parties to follow either form. This
action will legalize thousands of mar,
riages in Austria hitherto unrecogniz
ed by law. This is but another ster
towards the separation of Church and
State lit is the swapping of another
link in that chain which has long sur
vived its usefulness and the respect
of mankind. The Austrian Emperor
has long since yielded to the demands
of the people and the necessities Of th,
time, by giving to his Legislature a lib
eral share in the direction Of the gov
eminent. In very few years, at tn
most, the total separation Of tn
Church from the government, AM
the division of the joint property
such as has taken place in Italy. vii
be in force in Austria. England an(
Spain only, ofall the States of Europe
will then have a religion supportet
by the enforced contributions of tn
peOnle

a written report from Wyalusing, as
follows-by responsible man:
"MR COVER You misrepresent
the people of Wyalusing in reporting
them in favor Of Brooks. SO far as
known, they are for Mr.. Purman.-
The delegates from that town all
supported Mr.. Purman in conven-
ton, and he was their first choice, al
though some of them think he ought
to visit the schools Of their obscure
corner, and ask that during his next
term he do better for them and the
like obscure places.
have no doubt you are justif& BILE
in your logical conclusions as to Mr..
Brooks trying to creep out from un-
der the British flag, when the enroll-
ing officer put him in his official rec>
ord. But it is a mistake to infer
that, therefore, Mr. Blandford's
neighbors are all for Brooks. The
election results will show | am right.

Vestiges ofthe Inquisition.

The Rev. Samuel H. Tying, Jr., OF
New York, a clergyman OF the Epls~
copal Church, has, on more than one
occasion, preached from the pulplts
Of other Protestant churches. For
this offence he has been impeached,
and his trial has been ordered by
the Bishop of his diocese. Pending
this investigation, a kindred offence
by member of another profession
has been investigated and punished.
DIR. Gardiner, a successful medical
practitioner in New York of twenty
five years standing, had friend and
associate in the same profession, and
both belonging to the same school
OF medicine. After long practice
this friend adopted the tenets of
another school. In the course of
time he had a patient, concerning
whose case he asked the aid and
counsel Of his friend, Dir. Gardiner,
who really gave it. For this act,
which. even if unprofessional, was
humane and charitable, Gardiner
was impeached before the New York
Academy OF Medicine, and expelled
from its membership, aud placed un~
der the ban Of exclusion from the
profession. Ills name has been
erased from the list of regular practi
TONERS, and he rendered medical
pariah for the rest OF his natural
life. As DR.. Tying has shown no
signs otrepentance, but on the cons
trary, and pending his trial, is pub
licly sjustitying his conduct and
promising to repeat it on all proper
occasions, it is but reasonable ) ex,
pect that he will be condemned as
remorselessly by the doctors Of divin
ity rs Gardiner was BY the doctors
OF medicine.

VIRGINIA.-Virginia has Just passed
through an exciting election, and the
most important one in her history
1t was held under the Reconstruction
laws of Congress, and involved the
calling ola convention to form a new
constitution and the selection of del>
egates thereto. The ex rebels voted
solid against calling the convention,
while the Union whites and blacks
voted in a body for the convention.
The returns indicate that the con-
vention has been ordered by the
popular vote. The rebel element,
encouraged by the Democratic gains
in Ohio and Pennsylvania, made q
most desperate effort to defeat the
Reconstruction bill lin Virginia by
voting down the convention. The
registry list contained majority of
$4,000 white voters. If these had
been all polled against the convention
it would have been beaten. But q
considerable white vote was cast for
it, thus saving it from defeat If tho
convention has been called, as we
believeto be certain, then for the
first time in the history of Virginia
since 1928 there has been a "Dcmo-
cratic" defeat.
