Row that Texas, like Mississippi,
has been carried by the Republicans,
the work Of reconstruction draws to a

by the reactionary Democracy; bui
we may count on that being done

PRESBYTERIAN-A OUTRAGE ON
DECENCY.

Under this headithe N. Y.BGnner de.
votesa column to the Richardson and
Mcfarland case, concluding thus:
Mr.. Beecher lent himself, and that
too in awfully solemn circumstances,
directly to the encouragement of
adultery, and to the breaking down
of the sacredness OF the marriage re-
latIon-one of the great safe guards
of public morality. And when he
assumed to pronounce the two par
ties husband and wife ''by authority
given him by the Church." he did
that which no Evangelical Church in
Christendom has authorized him to
do, or will for a moment defend.
Mr.. Beecher even went so far as to
speak of this dying man, who had
given no evidence of repentance, as
"standing near the heavenly land. "
The whole proceeding is an outrage
against common morality.

GRANTS MESSAGE.

The first annual message of Presi.
dent Grant we gave last week and
we presume our readers have looked
itover.
His fourth OF July spread eagle
stufin the beginning is soon followed
with high eulogies of the reconstruc'
tion policy OF Congress. In this con-
nection his recommendation to trl-
reconstruct Georgia is worthy of no.
tice- With him, it is nigger-struc-
ton.
The currency and taxation question
he seeks to dodge by recommending
that they be postponed until next
Congress.
The Tenure-of-ofice LAw-which
was passed for the purpose ofcontroI
Andrew Johnson-he finds chafes
him, and therefore asks for its repeal.
This Congress refused to oso at its
last session, and it now remains to
be seen If they will accede to his re-
quest.
He advises the making Of closer al
lance on the part Of the United States
with the Republics on this Continent.
This would be an excellent opportu-
nifty to become involved in their dit.
ferences and quarreIs.
AS to the Alabama claims, he
hopes the time may soon arrive
when negotiations may be re-opened
with probability Of reaching a sat
isfactory result; and, on the question
of a new commercial treaty with
Canada, he arrives at the astounding
conclusion that 'tno citizen of the
United States would be benefited by
reciprocity" No free or reciprocal
trade for Grant.
Taking the document as q whole,
it is bitterly partisan, and entirely
devoted to the interest of the negro
lovers and the bondholders.

IIOUSE.

In the House of Representatives
Mr.. Shaks introduced a bill to coerce
the State of Georgia to adopt the fif-
teenth amendment. Mr.. Stevenson,
bill to take the entire duty off OF
tea, coffee, mOlasSes, rice, salt, Ium-
Der, hides, and pig iron; and MI.
Ingersoll, a bill to authorize the ad,
ditional issue of fOrty-fOur millions
of dollars in greenbacks. A debate
springing up upon the latter, it was
Withdrawn. Mr.. Brooks, of New
York, presented a petition asking
for the repeal of the duty on hidess,
and stated that the business was
North three hundred millions of
dollars annually while the export
trade was being ruined by the tariff.
Mr.. John Fox, of New York, asked
leave to bring a resolution to create
a special committee to enquire into
the cause OF the recent gold panic in
this city, and whether President.
Secretary of the Treasury, or other
government officials was interested
therein: Several Radicals promptly
objected. The House then went In
to Committee of the Whole upon the
Census bill, and Buffers amend
ment to have the work done by the
Internal Revenue Department..
During the debate Mr.. Butler COM
plimented New York City with the
remark that it was a living mass OF
corruption and fraud. Mr., Fernando
Wood wound him up with a shot
about his Indictment in the courts
there for robbing people ofspoons and
plates. After this passage-at-arms,
the House put Butler down by re-
jecting his am endment. An effort
to adjourn over till Monday was de-
feated.

DAMAGES FOR REFUSAL To MAR
RY.-As we go to press the case of
Elizabeth Schimpf against Michael
Warner, ST., is on trial. The par
ties live in Osnaburg. The case has
some odd features. Elizabeth is a
damsel of eighty summers and
Michael a lad Of only seventy-five
years. The filtration that begOt the
trouble was in progress about a year
ago, and was carried on the same
general principles as would Datural-
ly characterize the parties 90 or GO
years ago. In fact it appeared by
his own testimony that Michael was
unduly ardent wanted the candle
out nights, Etc, and that these formi-
dable symptoms having been resisted
by Elizabeth, his ardor cooled of,
inSOmuch that he went and married
another woman, despite his sacred
promise to the plaintiff. Thsreupon
Elizabeth threatens to take legal
steps to compel the gay deceiVer to
patch up the rent in her lacerated
affections with $500. He offers, thro'
a third party, to pay her 500 on
April Ist and 800 on October Jst,
1869, by way of compromise. The
offer is accepted; but the promised
penalty of his desertion is not vet
paid-hence the law suit. AS afore>
said the case is now on trial. Mrs.
Schimpf is the mother of Pete
Schlmpf, a well known, played-out,
copperhead real estate gas-bag of
Chicago.-Rep & Rep.
We are at loss to see the proprie.
ty of our neighbors pitching inn to
Peter Shimp, of Chicago. We can
not conceive what Peter has to do
with this filtration suit. Besides we
dissent ig toto as to Peter being a
''played out copperhead.' Mr.. Shimp
was '1oyal" Lincoln radical daring
the war and published '1oyaI" pa
per into the bargain, and for aught
we know such is yet his status. Our
neighbOrs ought not to abuse thus,
their own friends. tits mean to say
the least.
