Marriage Service Changed.

1t is not generally known that the mar
riage service Of the Northern Methodist
Episcopal Church has been so altered as to
obliterate every vestige of the pledge for
merly given by the bride in regard TO con-
iugal obedience The reference to the Day
of Judgment is also omittted-being, as
some say, mooted point among these in
teresting people.
The charge to the contracting parties
used to be in the following language: 81
require and charge you both las you shall
answer ut the dreadful Day of Judgment,
when the secrets of all hearts shall be dis
closed1, that if either Of you Dnow," sc.
The words put in parenthesis are left out.
What need of so solemn reference when in
these days, as in those the Apostle speaks
of, there are many who ask: "Where is the
promise of His coming" or why should
people look for the sanctions of duty in any
world beyond that secular sphere in which
they live and move and have their being:
The church in question seems TO be quite
engrossed at present with the management
of public affairs and the inculcation OF radi-
Cal ideas.
So, too, the pledge of the bride to render
Obedience to her husband has been stricken
out Instead Of the question: "Wilt thou
obey him, serve him, love. honor and keep
him. and the declaration, Il, y, take thee.
NJ, to love, cherish and obey, till death do
US part" the service now reads in the first
instance, ''Wilt thou love- honor and keep
him." and in the second, Il, y. take thee,
VI, to love and to cherish. Whatever may
be urged in vindication Of the change,
there can be no question that the pledge cx-
plunged is scriptural, and that while mutual
consideration and service is essential to the
happiness of so tender and vital q relation
as marriage establishes, there must, never
theless, be some gradation of authority in
every well-ordered household as in every
harmonious society. Where opinions differ,
there must be some ultimate court Of ap-
pea!-some decision which ends. This final
authority, not only revelation, but reason
also, assigns to the husband and father.
1t is only the idea of marriage without
love that renders these ancient regulations
distastefuI There can be no tyranny in
the magistracy of love on the one hand, or
humiliation in loves service on the other.
That indeed in such OF such a case there
shall be a Limitation to marital power, Jaw
may wisely provide; for power in every
sphere, even the parental, may be grossly

abused. But when household authority
itself is e1punged, marriage becomes a
mere contract-a relation of convenience-a
tenantry at will The marriage should be
recorded with lead pencil, not with ink,
in the fly leaves of the family Bible. Nay,
in union which should be the most inti-
mate and trustful Of all, provision is made
for contention and divorce.

Mr.. william Morton were absent o the
cemetery attending the celebration, his Sis
ter, Miss Morton, was taken ill with an
attack Of heart disease, and on their return
they found her corpse.
AT the Federal camp near the city the
flag was lowered during yesterday in honor
Of the occasion. The fine band was also
rendered to the ladies, subject to their
choice Of pieces as it regarded the music.
The offer, however, though eourteously
made, was courteously declined. There is,
Of course, some diversity Of opinion as to
the propriety of their decision. When the
subject was mentioned at the breakfast ia
BILE this morning of the family of your COR
respondent, consisting Of two ladies and two
gentlemen--besides any number of juve-
niles-the former promptly indicated the
action Of the ladies of the Association,
while the latter were Of opinion that they
should have accepted the band. AS ladies
are instinctively right in all matters Of feel
ing and delicacy, we had no alternative but
to acquiesce.
Our people are expecting delightful en-
tertainment tomorrow night in the pro-
posed repetition of the lecture on the HUI
mors of Reconstruction to be given by
your 8. young man. Unless the evening
should be inclement, he will have acrowded

ASHLAND, June 10, 1868.
One T. w. Roche, Of Richmond, inspired
perhaps, by the great success OF the humor
Gus lectures Of Mr.. Cowardin on the scenes
of the late Convention, has, with true Yam
kee ingenuity, entered into a speculation
which he hopes to make pay. He has got
ten possession of two animals from tn
menagerie SO long before the public in your
city under the management Of ring-mastel
Underwood, and is carrying them about IL
our county exhibiting them.
He brought them to Ashland YESTERDAY
evening, and about forty negroes ATTENDED
the show. Porter excited no admiration
not even grunt rewarded all his EFFORTS
cole Bob Johnson looked on with SAD ano
solemn gravity, and did n 1t once say Glory
to Ginral Washington"
Colonel Vim, our candidate for the LIE
gislature, being present, explained the
nature and habits of the animal, and
warned the freedmen about venturing toe
near it.
Mr.. Roche, finding that his show was not
succeeding, called "knee-deep" Lindsey
upon the stage, and his extraordinary con-
tortions and limitations of an orator brought
down the house. There was fine show OF
ivory, and intense enjoyment on the part
Of the freedmen, as he proceeded after this
fashion:
"Feller-C itizens,-You have been 80 hap
PLY entertained by de most noble gentle
men who has discussted de qateshtaun dat |

Ashland is decorated with loyalty for once,
and I am glad dat I has heerd the noble

you to-day. But we differs. Dey say we

dat we mustn't have de suffrage; but when
dey invade us in dis aOordyouS way, l tell
'em dat dey can't git our votes by SIGH
grace as dat. Sirs, we has manhood. We
has been in de front ranks of oil de wars in

eOle Bob Johnson" from whom better
things were expected, slowly arose, leaning
upon his stick, and offered a resolution
pledging those present to insist upon the
nomination of William Brown ana arthur
Johnson (botl. negroes) for the Legislature
from Hanover. The resolution was carried.
And this after it was well understood that
General Wickham was to be q candidate,
and "Oie Bob /" had shouted "glory" tor

AMIssv1LLE, June s, 1868.
The usual monotony of our community
was broken few days ago by q marriage.
1t is not uncommon for people to marry,
but the ages of the parties in this case were
very tender. The bride was only sixty
nine and the groom eighty.
We had ct one time in this county few
individuals who we're disposed to cooperate
with the "party Of great moral IDEAS" but
they soon became disguised, and are now,
with all true Virginians, doing all they can
to defeat the UBIQUITOUS instrument framed
by the {" scallawag" Convention at Rich
mond.
There is just now much talk about the
f" greatest captain of the age" which will
do very well to impose upon silly people.
Grant is absolutely great in nothing-ex-
cept in the folly which causes him to think
he will not at the proper time sink back
into his native insignifcance. Next to ne
gro domination, nothing more disgraceful
to the country could happen than that such
a stupid fellow as Grant should be elected
President.
No one can be deceived by the new cry
of equal rights raised by the Radicals. In
their own mlust Lney refuse VIC riSnt VI
suffrage to that class which they consider
in every way worthy to control the desti-
MES of the South.
Allow me to say, with the Industrious Josh
Billings, that / have always considered
cholera good institution, if managed with
discretion. will not say would turn it
loose upon the Radicals, but ] do say that l
would give them fair warning, and If they
did not turn from their Ubiquitous course |
would be tempted to show them the terrors
Of my discretionary power. L..

WASHINGTON LETTER.
correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
w.srISeroN, June 9, 1863

WASHINGTON, June 9, 1868.
An ;nfe,lirent gentleman holding o pro-
n,;nent nosition in the Treasury Depart
mont who has recently been on o short
northern tour, having returned here this
morning. reports very decided 1eeing
among leading Democrats and anti Radicals
in that section fayoring the nomination OF
Chief Justice Chase for the Presidency.
Hon. Horatio Seymour, Of New York, is
said to be strongly in favor OF the nomina-
ton, and he is seconded in his opinions by
some Of the most thorough Democrats in
the whole State Of New York. Great inte-
rest is now manifesting itself in the
coming Conservative Convention-more so
than at any time previous, owing to the
great favor which all hints at the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Chase have received In
various quarters where nothing but the
most obstinate devotion to Democratic prin-
ciples has prevailed, and as the day for
the meeting approaches, men of oil par
ties begin to calculate and predict more
than ever with regard to the probable re-
suits of the Convention. Not yet, however,
has there been any definite plan Of opera
tons submitted by leading men of the
Democratic party TO conduct the proceedings
of the nominating conventions, or OF the
campaign. Several meetings have been
held By prominent members of the party,
both in this city and in New York; but the
disposition at MI of them has been to post
pone everything with view of perfect
harmony and accord when they meet at
New York.
The complicated condition of the munici-
pal government of this city is not aoated
any, and although Bowen is de tdcto if not
de lire Mayor, we yet have two sets of city
councils. How the difficulty is to be solved
is not plain. IF it goes to the courts, the
Radicals will in every probability gain
their point; and if it continues as it now
il, they will legislate as much as the Con-
serratiyes, besides having Mayor to back
them. The interference of the Radical
resister-not the first in his experiments
condemned by many of the best citizens,
including some of the Republicans. Bowen
is still postmaster Of Washington, and no
one expects him to resign. Should he 90
so, he would destroy the symmetry OF his
record for holding two or more good-paylng
offices at the same time.
The resignation of the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue was entirely unexpected,
and is entirely in opposition to the instruc-
tions and wishes of many of the leading
Radical manipulators. If Mr.. Rollins goes
out of Office, it is probable that some of the
deputies will follow him, as Of course his
plan of official action has been concurred
in by them. TIM0N.
