A Bride Denies her Marriage.

s The Louisville Courier relates the following
A few months ago. a young lady of this city
visited ST. Louis, and during her stay in that
place formed the acquaintance OF young gentle
man who became enamored of her. She en-
couraged his suit, but an obstacle arose In the
shape of an opposition on the part of the stern
parents of the young lady, which threatened tor
a time to dash their cup of bliss to the earth.
But in this case, as in most other such affairs,
love knew no barrier to the contamination OF
their most devout wish. A clandestine marriage
was arranged, and it was agreed between them
that she should return to Louisville and keep it
profound secret until a certain time; when he
would come and claim her as his bride. They
were accordingly married, and the sweets OF
matrimony or honeymoon was postponed until
the fact should be made known in this city.
On Saturday last the young man arrived and
rushed with all the zeal of devoted husband to
claim his wife. His feelings can better be i'm
agined than described, upon being told by the
woman who had solemnly vowed in the sight OF
God and man to be his through life, that she had
no knowledge of any marriage ever having been
consummated between them. The young man
produced the marriage certificate; insisted on
his moral right to clair her as his wife, but the
young lady indignantly denied the 'soft impeach-
ment," vowing that she had never rlarried him
and never would The parties are both of high
social position, and as the young man insists on
prosecuting his claim, We may look for some in
teresting developments, unless the refractory
bride acknowledges the corn and ''stares fate III
the face"

pite all her efforts to please him, whips her with
a switch like she were dog. This is family
government! On the other hand, gentleman,
absent from home hears that a negro woman,
that he has hired, has struck his wife, whipped
his children, and cut up generally. On his re-
turn home. few days afterwards, he asks the
offender about it and she denounces him as low
scoundrc He slaps her jaws. This is not
family government. 1t is Court House job.
He may whip his wife, whom he has before God
promised to cherish and love, when she is fault,

impudent hireling with black skin to behave
herself is high handed ATTRACTION of the criminal

WHY not be Just and Fair ?

When Gen Gordon, of Georgia, one of the
bravest and most distinguished OF the Confeder
ate Generals, declared in speech that if Grant
were elected President, and any opposition was
made to his accession to the presidential chair,
he would draw his own sword in his support, the
extreme Radical papers find it convenient to ig-
more that significant avowal But when some
indiscreet Southern newspaper deals in wild talk,
its mad nonsense is seized upon and circulated
by every sectional paper in the North as an evl-
dense OF Southern sentiment. The truth is that
the last thing the face of the earth the South
ern people desire or dream of is war. They are
at a loss to understand how any one can sincerely
hold an opposite idea. Neither the election Of
Gen. Grant nor auy other man would lead to
resistance in the South OF all the prominent
Republicans, Gen. Grant SO far as he is person
ally concerned, is most respected by the South
ern people. The fact that he has the chief mill
tary prestige in the armies of the United States,
instead OF working to his prejudice, tends to
elevate him with military people. Even if the
South desired to appeal to arms, 1t is as well
aware of its inability to do SO its enemies can
be. 1t seems strange that the North should be
ignorant Of the real state Of Southern affairs and
sentiment. This is the age Of steam and tele
graphs, yet Mr. John Quincy Adams of Massa-
chusetts, in his late brief and incisive speech
at Greensboro, N. e., said he had learned more
Of the Southern people and their feelings and
sentiments the last two days than he could have
learned ID life time in Massachusetts. He was
astonished at the condition Of the Southern
people and their wasted, neglected fields. Iftne
North could see it as he had done, all our trials
would be at an end"
When one of the most prominent and intelli
gent of the public men of Massachusetts comedies
that he knew nothing of the real state of things
in the South till he went there personally, what
must be the ignorance of the mass Of the popu
laton This ignorance is the result of partisan
misrepresentation, Selling and pcrvcrting to its
own evil purposes those very agencies of ditfusing
intelligence which it was once hoped would make
the different sections better acquainted and draw
them nearer to each ether We dare say Mr.
Adams is right when he says if the North could
only see the real condition of things in the South
as he had DONE cur trials would soon be at an
eud. The North would then be touched by the
scene, and it would also see what wanton cruelty
it is to ascrbe to this helpless people purposes Of
standardization by another war. The South
wants no war for any cause, but if Gen. Grant
is elected, the South is far more likely to assist,
indicated by Gen. Gordon, in putting down
resistance than in Offering it.-Baltimore San.

The AGRICULTURAL REPORT.-The
agricultural report for June is out. The
report shows altogether an increase of Is
to 20 per cent. in the aggregate number
of acres of wheat. Reports of condition
for June are generally very favorable,
The promise of the best crop ever known
is held out by local correspondents in
many places, particularly West of the
Mississippi. Some complaint of falling
Off is made, but the extent of this dam
age, which has been more severe during
the latter part of the month, is not de-
termined. Many of the most serious
complaints of winter killing in Ken-
lucky and Tennessee have been greatly
modified by subsequent growth and till
ing of roots presumed to be dead.
