MARRIAGE WITHOUT CEREMoNy-AN
IMPORTANT DECISION BY A JUDGE
BARNARD.

Judge Barnard, in the suit of Beatrice
Bissell against John ID. Bissell, for di-
vorce on the ground Of abandonment.
has rendered a decision upholdin' the
alleged marriage between the parties,
and granting 3 separation and alimony
Ii one we're asked ''What is necessary
to the validity OF marriage in the
State OF New York :" the answer. nine
times ont of ten would be that some
ceremony by clergyman or some act
ora civil officer performed in the pre-
sence of, and participated in by the
contracting parties was Indispensable.
This opinion, however Is now shown
by Bar, ards decision to be erroneous.
The evidence showed thxt no cere-
mony of marriage had been performed;
the man had teld the woman no third
party being present that he would live
with her as her husband, and had plac-
ed a ring upon her finger, telling her
he had takenro0ms for hrras bis wife had
in that character presented her to 9TH
ers and had lived for several years with
her as her hubsand. Lately he had in-
formed her that the connection be-
tween them Vas to be broken OFF, had
deserted her and had married another
woman. Judge Barn ird decides that
in effect the parties were married, and
the absence of a civil or religious cere-
mony cannot be held to invilidate the
contract entered into between the two
and acknowledged by both in such an
unmistakable way NeU York World.

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THE SITUATION.

The late elections do not much change

publican party can hardly be said to
hold its own. Still it commissioning.
The most striking feature is the revival
OF old issues and HE interest in new
ones. This shows that we are floating
away from the keen and angry devotion
to the one great question oil the war

the struggle was entirely OH local in
terests In Massachusetts u new party
the workingmen-p olled nearly 49,
600 votes and has placed in the..Legisla-
ture twenty-five representatives. The
woman question also appears more dis
tinctively than 1t has evar done before.
In the Western States the same diver
sion of public attention 10 apparent.
This should rouse our friends to more
activity day is fast slipping away.
Once let public thought float off from
the great issues of the war and it will
take perhaps more than generation
to bling 1t back again. Meanwhile two
things are evident. Unless some RENE
dy is devised the negro will stand in
peril and use his rights only at great
personal hazard for many years to
come. Secondly it is as evident that
the administration at Washington docs
not mean to interfere actively in his
behalf. President Grant not oaly does
not plan any interference bdthe cannot
by any appeal be reused to allow or ar
range any.

Seleck, the proprietor. According to
the terms of the race each man was to
be allowed twenty horses, with five in

ants presented themselves, and the
horses provided Tor each were examln-
ed. The riders started soon after 0 o.
clock, and up to the completion of the
fortieth mile the chances seemed about
even. At this point, Walsh, in chang
ing horses, fell and was so badly iniur-
ed as to cause delay of some two MN
utes. During the early part OF the race
Walsh was decidedly the favorite, but
Mowry, who had been saving his stock,
soon made up the difference, and gall

That the Reunion will greatly promote
