The split of the Radical party IS
no longer a matter of expectation
but Of fact. Wendell Phillips, the
acknowledged High Priest Of the
ultra Temple, has come out boldly,
emphatically and Indignantly
against the swindle perpetrated
upon their party By tie nomina-
tons of Grant and Colfax. At the
anniversary meeting Of the New
England Anti-SlaveTy Society, he
introduced a series Of resolutions
denouncing everything and everY-
body, with the exception Of New
England and Wendell Philips, but
was especially severe upon the
Chicago platform and its nominees.
He branded the whole affair as q.
eowardlY surrender both the cam
didates as unreliable, and the
general attitude of tho party as d
betrayal Of the negro. HE assert
ed that Grant was utterly destitute
Of ideas, and urged agitation and
organization il order TO compel
him and the Republican party to
yet adopt ultra Radical measures;
hoping for success in this, On the

A YOUNG BRIDE IMMURED IN A
LUNATIC ASYLUM.

The New York ,Saa Of Monday saws. A
singular case came before Judge Bedle. at
the Hunson County Court House, Hudson
City, New Jersey, on Saturday. 1t was an
application for a writ ofhaJeas corpus to de-
liver from the custody Of the Governors Of
the Trenton Lunatic Asylum Mrs Merit,
now confined in that institution From the
afhdayits made by the applicant and others,
it would appear that on the 4th Of July last
Colonel III. ID. Merritt, Of Hudson City, was
married to Mrs. Frances j. Morton. widow
Of the late William Morton. She continued
to reside with her husband at her own resi-
dence, near MahWay, in the county of Ber-
gen, until the 9th of July Early in the
morning of that day her brother, Edward
Livingston Price, of Newark, lawyer and
member Of the last Legislature, went to her
house and sent word that he wished to see
her down stairs. She went down. leaving
her husband in the room Her brother, who
had acarriage in readiness, put her in against
her consent, and had her taken to the Ber-
gen County Poor House, where she was
locked up until the 10th. She was then ia
ken to Haekensack, before jury, summon
ed by commission, appointed by the Cham
eellor, in pursuance Of petition fled on the
10th Of July Without friends, OF any one
to appear for her to contradict the state
ments as to her insanity, she was found to
be insane, and on the morning of the 18th
Of July, was taken by her brother and con-
fined in the Lunatie Asylum at Trenton
From the time she was taken from the house
until her confinement in the Asylum, her
husband was unable to discover her where
abouts, and it was only few days ago he
learned from a gentlemen in jersey City
that she had been placed in an asylum. I'm
mediately on becoming acquainted, with this
he applied through his counsel, Senator Win
field, for writ of ha5eas corpus which was
allowed by his Honor Judge Bedle, retuna-
bic on Saturday, when the matter duly came
before the Court. DR.. Buttolph, Superin-
tendent of the Asylum, made return to the
writ that Mrs Merritt was placed in his Gus
tody by her brother, Mr. Price Mr. Z. /.
Price asked for a postponement for four
weeks, and asserted that the adjournment
would cause no inconvenience. The mem
bers of her own family had declared she was
insane; a jury so found, and the husband
would have been notified had it been known
where he then was. The case was adjourned.

'LET US HAVE PEACEI"
LGeH. o. s. Granfs Letter Of Acceptance I
BY WILLIAM GLAND BOURNE.

"I4ct us aave Peaeee' is the cry Oft millions
Who fought fo- the starry -gemmed flag Of the
free;
Ts the prayer Of the hero, the song Of civilians,
That rolls from the mountains far down to the
sea.
The nation that rocked in the tempest and gloon,
And drifted in doubt to the wrecked on the
shore,
The storm has outIiyed, and the thunders that
boom
Are voices that prophesy tempest no more.
"Let US have Peace - is the sign of the lOwly,
That walk in the vale where. the cypress is seen,
Who mourn their departure with tenderness holy,
And kneel where the graves are perenniaIiy
green;
and where the ''Unknown," in their silence are
sleeping,
The feet Of the angels are pressing the sod,
And vespers Of harmony round them are keeping,
While Martyrs Of Freedom have gone to their
God.
'Let US have Peaee!' the cvangel of LABOR,
Where toilers imploringly lift up their hands
Go wipe off the stains from the death dealing
sabre,
And build the bright altar of hope for all lands;
Lol radiant from darkness the temple of glory
Throws wide to the world the broad aisles of
the fame;
And freemen shall toll as they utter the story,
And children repeat to the ages again.
LET US have Peace! is the chorus ascending
From hanlets that lie mid the Pinecovered
hills,
And like a glad anthem in unison blending,
Floats on till the plain with its melody thrills;
And rivers that roll to the land of the West
And prairies that wake to the hymn of the free,
With millions of freemen imploring for rest,
Swell psalms Of rejoicing while bending the
knee.
"Let US have Peaee.7 from the wars wild eommo-
tion,
The trunpet's alarms, and the crash Of the field,
And let the new bliss, like the billows Of ocean,
Roll over the land where the hero has kneeled
The smoke Of the battle has swept from the sky,
TIE thunlers have ceased, and the bugles wild
blast;
The chains have been riyen and loud from on
high
The reYeiIle calls to the love of the Past!
'LEr Us HAVE PEACE p in holy Thanksgiving
The Hero-voice cries, in the name Of rhe LORD !
For the sake Of the dead for the sake of the
living!
Turn spears into pruning -hooks-to plOwsharss
the sword
And out of the darkness shah come forth the
beaming
Of Glorys bright sun where the foomen have
trod,
And Freedom shall teach, with truth an-re-
deeming
That PEACE wiGu OUR BROTHER IS PEACE

NEWSPAPER LAws.--We would call the special
attention of Post Masters and subscribers to the
ISQuIRER to the following synopsis Of the News
paper laws
/. Postmaster is required TO give notice 5y
letter. returning paper does not answer the law)
when a subscriber does not take his paper out of
the Office, aud state the Tor its not being
takcn and neglect tosdo makes the Postmas-
ter yeps0asiJte to the publishers for the payment
., Any person who takes paper from the Post
Office, whether directed to his name OF another or
whether he has subscribed or not is responsible
for the pay.
3, If a person orders his paper discontinued, he
must pay all arrearages, the publisher may
continue to send il until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount shstier q be taken r9si
fae office or not. There can be no legal discontin-
ueuee until the payment is made
4. If the subscriber orders his paper to be
stopped at certain time, and the publisher con
tinues TO send the subscriber is bound to pay for
it, II he takes Il out Of the Pos, Office. The law
proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay
for what he uses,
s. Tho courts have decided that refusing 10 take
newspapers and periodicals from the Post Office.
OF removing and having them uncaIled for, is
Prim0 faeia evidence Of intentional fraud.

SUNDAY REST A NECESSITY.

Nature reafirrns the divine law that one
day in seven should be set apart for rest and
worship. Both the brute and human world
need it for their well being Dr. Fare, a
distinguished physician, says: Although
the night equalizes the circulation well, yet
It does not sufficiently restore its balance for
the attainment of long life, Hence one
day in seven, by the bounty Of Providence,
is thrown in as day Of compensation, to
perfect by it's reposel the animai system.
You may easily determine this question By
trying it on the beasts ofburden. Take that
fue animal, the horse, and work him to the
full extent Of his powers every day but one
in seven, and you viii soon perceive by the
superior vigor with which he performs his
functions on the other six days that this rest
is necessary to his well being. Man, pos
sessing a superior nature. is borne along
by the very y5gor of his mind, 50 that the
injury of continued diurDal axertion aud ex-
element in his animal system IS not so inn
mediately apparent as it is in the brute; but
In the long run it breaks down more sud
denly; it abridges the length of his life and
that vigor of his old age which Gas to mere
animal power ought to be the object Of his
preservation. This is simply as physician
and without reference at al to the theo-
logical question.

DRFIDENT MEN.-When the world was
younger, difident people had much better
chance of success in it than they have now.
Their modesty found favor with the wise
and good, and they were helped along. Pliny
the greatest lawyer ofbis age, recommended
quite young men Of his own profession to
the public, and sometimes refused to under
take cause unless some modest Junior
counsel was associated with him as plea
dor Lawyers don't do that sort of thing
now. 1t does not answer to implore the
favorable opinion Of courts and juries; the
advocate who expects to obtain their assent
to his views must demand it. We have
popular speakers who simply make a noise
in the world" Their heads are empty but
their lungs are strong and their tongues glib.
An ancient writer on oratory says that
flushed face and an expression dashed with
modesty should secure the attention of an
audience. Alasl the evidences of difidence
are death to the prospects Of a speaker in
this age \ man who overcrows his betters
is pretty sure to take the lead. In law, in
business, in politics-aud sometimes even in
church-this rule holds good.

The DISCIPLINE OF SoRRow-F the
block Of marble that lies before the sculptor
was capable Of feeling, how would it deplore
and bemoan every stroke of the hammer,
chipping off piece of substance. It would
deem its lot a pitiabLe one indeed. Yet,
that hammer and chisel are transforming
the rough and shapeless stone into form
of life, grace and beauty fit to adorn the
palace Of king.
So tits with Us. Our characters are like
unhewn blocks Of marble, rude, misshapcd,
comparatively worthless. And God IS
sculpturing them into forms Of divine sym
metry and beauty, that may forever illus
trate to ,fre universe the power Of His grace.
The heavy block of adversely and the ras-
ping cares and petty annoyanees ofour daily
life are but different parts ofthe same divine
and loving process.
And shall we lock simply at the hammer
aud chisel. and doubt the glorifying work
for which God Is using them? Shall We think
only of the chips which the blows Of His
presence strike from Us, and overlook the
immortal characters which the Great Sculp-
tor is seeking thus to perfect for His celes-
tial temple?

BEAUTY OF OLD PEoPLE.-Men and
women make their own beauty or their own
ugliness. Lord Lytton speaks OF man
s'who was uglier than had any business to
be-, and if he could but read 1t every
human being carried his life in bis face, and
is good looking OF the reverse, as that hte
has been good or evil. On our features the
/ 6ne chisel of thought and emotion are
eternally at work Beauty is not the
monopoly of blooming young men and OF
pink and white maids. There is slow
growing beauty which only comes to per
section in old age Grace belongs to nc
period of life aud improves the longer Il
exists.

4 QUESTION OF BOUNDARY. The boun
dairy line between Massachusetts and Rhodo
Island has not yet been determined, and
after years Of contest the two States seem
to be as remote as ever from settlement.
After many commissions and suits, joint
commission was appointed some years ago,
which agreed upon compromise line from
Connecticut to the sea, the Rhode Island
commissioners yielding something on the
north line, and the Massachusetts, commits
sioners something on the eastern line. Mas
sachusetts, however, refused to ratify any
part Of the compromise but that which en-
larged her own territory, and the question
was so nearer settlement than before.
Rhode Island has recently had the entire
northern line re-surveyed, aud the result, it
j. asserted proves beyond doubt that the
line fixed by the ancient colonial charter ex-
tended north Of that to which Rhode Island
now exercises jurisdiction, and would bring
into that State the entire villages OF Black
stone and Waterford, now governed by Mas
sachusetts. A renewal Of negotiations,
with view to an agreement upon the char
ter line, is therefore recommended.

A DANGER of ELECrING SEYMOUR.


We do not endorse tlat mode of conduct
ing political warfare Which invades the sane
tuary-of candidate home, and discusses
the details of his domestic affairs; but there
is one fact connected with the private histo-
ry Of Horatio Seymour and his family that
it would be criminal to the welfare Of the
country to withhold from public knowledge
The people ought TO understand that the
Democratic candidate for President is liable
TO be the victim to hereditary insanity, and
that his elevation to the highest Office in the
Government may speedily result iii deyolv-
ing It's powers and duties upon Blair, whose
known personal character and revolutionary
sentiments, viewed in the light ofrecent ex-
perience with Vice Presidents succeeding to
the Presidency, make the contingency wor-
thy of serious contemplation.
Relative to Seymour tendency to insani-
ty, the Cincinnati Commercial makes the
following statement:
Zone Of his brothers developed similar
tendencies. and was confined in a lunatic
asylum and there died. MIR, Horatlo Sey-
mour himself was troubled, years ago, in a
manner so menacing that he spent several
months in seclusion, abstaining from all bus
mess, and avoiding care and excitement Of
every kind
The New York Post has an article ON the
same subject, from which we extract the
subjoined paragraph;
These facts aught not to be concealed;
the Democratic masses themselves ought to
know exactly what their ticket means-it
means Blair as President. No ordinary mo
tive could induce the Ermmg Post to touch
upon the sacred fears aud private mistor-
tunes of a respectable individual, but when
the American people are asked to make that
citizen their ruler, his private iniirmities be-
come public dangers, the solemn temors Of
his closet become the peril of the nation. -
