The papers tells us that "Grant
winks at the Cuban fllibustcring.'
We are glad to know that he Is
sometimes in a condition to be able
to rink, for it cannot be denied that
he is too often in a state that is
passed winking.
1t turns out that the paper called
ImpTiaLiSt is the organ of Grants
secret organization, called the
"Grand Army of the Republic" A
Mongrel sheet says that army "is
preparing to march" We believe
1.-THE dead march.
Grant ought to call congress
together Immediately, TO pass some
stringent laws against spring guns !;
for an instrument of that Kind,
placed near a hen-roost at Memphis,
has cost the party the life Of vo.
ter, as we'll as of "a man and q
brother. T" -.
The town of Moutville, Maine,
one of the most highly perfumed
Mongrel towns in that State, has
repudiated their "war debt" and
refused to raise cent to pay either
principal or interest. .iai
If the opinion of one-halt of
Grants party about the other half
may be taken, they are altogether
the most precious set Of rascals or
fools the world ever saw.
The Democratic Northwest says.
"To decorate a soldiers grave,
costs nothing but to decorate his
little girl with q new dress would
be quito to expensive for cheap 10y.

FoR GOvER NOR,
The Old Landmarks,

The Democratic party,
when in power, was governed
by the old landmarks-the
Constitntion-and the coun-
try had peace and prosperity.
Democrats still insist on the
old written Constitution as
the guide for our rulers. The
Radicals, when they came in
TO power, said they could do
without it--that they would
run the Government in def
nnce of its provisions, and
for the last eight years they
have administered the Gov
eminent outside the Consti-
tuition. We see the result,
an immense public debt, high
taxes, extravaganza and cor
ruption in every department,
and waning prosperity in the
business Of the merchant, the
mechanic, the farmer and
among all classes of the la
boring masses. II we desire
a return of the good old times,
we must have a change. Let
lis go back to the old land
marks.

Clerical Error in the Law Relatina
to Marriages.

w SF-s~1N @eSIsSVs
The law of the last Legislature, "T,
amend section one Of the act revuatin
marriages." as printed makes it obliga.
tory on females as we'll as males, unde
the age Of tweniy-One years, to obtain th
consent Of the father or guardian befor,
a license can be obtained.
An examination of the leqislativ,
journals enables us 10 say that the law a,
passed fixes the age Of marriageable
females at eighteen years of ,age-that o.
males at twenty one, The misto Ike in thu
law wns an error of the enrolling clerk
Of the House of Representatives, who in
copying it for the signatures of the Speak
er of the House of Representatives and
President of the Senate substituted the
words "twenty-one" for that of"eighteen. u
The error was n OF noticed by the enrollinE
committee of the two houses, whose duty
1t was to carefully compare the bill after
it was enrolled, and hence IL was. in an
incorrect form, signed by the presdinV
officers and published by the Secretary Of
State as law that officer having no right
10 60 behind the signatures Of tho presi.
ding officers attesting its correctness.
Judge Pugh, the Probate Judge of this
county, satisfied, by an examination Of
the Journals, that the words, "twenty one
years !" as applied TO the marriag agea bic
age Of females, was clerical error, and
knowing that, If the matter was brough [
before any court Of competent jurisdiction
1.-The journals being the only evidence to
prove the passage Of a disputed law-the
court would so hold, has decided To- so
act in the issuing Of marriage licenses as
not to require the assent Of either father
or guardian to the Marriage Of female
who is eighteen years Of age and upwards.
This course, we presume, will be fol-
lowed by other Probate judges in the
State, as the Jaw as published, bears in
itself evidence Of in correctness. For in
stance: 1t requires the assent of parent
or guardian 10 the marriage of female
under the age Of twenty-one; other laws
fix the age of female, when she becomes
her own mistress, at eighteen years. II
lady at eighteen loses her parents, she,
being Of lawful age 10 transact business
in her own name, cannot have a guardian
for in oil things she is her own mistress
and hence, must wait three years after
she is Of lawful aga before she can get
married, for the reason that the law, as
printed, Compels her TO get the consent of
guardian, which guardian, another law
says, she Ia too old to have. This contra
diOlion is, Of itself, sufficient to show that
there is mistake somewhere, Tho Leg
islative Journals chow that il is caused
by the ca relessness or the enrolling clerk
Of tho House Of Represent tstives, in sub
stituting the words twenty one" when Il
should have been written ''eighteeu, done
in the hurry usually at The closing hours
Of a session. - Ohio Statesman.
Judge KALEn, of the Vinicu county

matter as has Judge Pund, as above

THE lmperialist is now quarreling
with BENNETT Of the New York
Herald. The Herald is rather weak
y in its advocacy of Radical doc
trines, but the lmperialiSt will no
doubt Hwhip it into ranks" and
compel it to say "The Empire is
Peace" The ImperiaIist is strong
ly "in favor of an Empire which
really means the adjustment Of all
the State Governments and the en-.
slavement of every man in the
country. Do the people wish to be
subjects and soldiers of an Empe,
ror? Do the people wish to be
unparalleled 4? The people, like the
editors of the New York Herald,
shosld oppose the changing of this
country into an Empire. GRANT
and his cabinet and all the Radical
Governors and Radical officials of
the States in tho Union are favoring
an Empire" Imperialism follows
Radicalsm Of course. 1t would be
a good idea for those controlling

TIE Irish have furnished
distinguished generals for all
the great nations of the world,
They gave Wellington to
England, O'Donnell to Spain,
O'Neil to France, and now
we learn the death Of Gener-
al Patrick O'Malley, of the
French army, who served in
Algeria and Magenta with
great distinction. 1t is con-
sidered to have been owing
to the bayonet charge Of
O'Malley's regiment on an
Austrian brigade that the
Emperor Napoleon III was
prevented from being taken
prisoner. For this service he
was made a Brigadier Gener-
al. Subsequently, he served
in China, and was present at
the capture of Tientsin and
the sacking of the Emperor's
summer palace. Gen. O'Mal-
ley was a Mayo man by orr
gin, if not by birth. Colonel
Austin O'Mallery, of Burris-
hoole, in the county of Mayo,
his father, had many relatives
who were distinguished in
the English army.
