Blue Laws Still in Force.

A Connecticut paper calls at
tention to some OF the laws OF that
State, which are certainly no great
Improvement on those OF two cen
turies ago. 1t says:
l. A married woman, guilty of
inidelity, is punished by impris-
0nment in the State prison not
less than two years. A married
man guilty of infdeIity, except
with married woman, is punish
Ell by a fine not exceeding 81, or
By imprisonment in the common
Jail not exceeding thirty days.
2. The husband can III this
State convey away all his real es,
tate without his wife's consent,
and cut her off at his death with
every cent of his property. In
no other State in the Union can
this be done.
3. While the wife has no right
to any portion of her husbands
property during his lie, and may
be cut off from any portion of his
estate after his death the husband,
Immediately after the marriage,
takes possession of all her proper
ty, and keeps possession, during
his life, only giving the principal
thereof to her heirs at the time Of
his death.
4. The property which may be
acquired by their joint exertions
during wedlock, belongs to the
husband alone, she having no le-
gal Interest therein whatsoever.
5. The chilalen, fruit Of the
marriage, belong to the husband,
not 10 the wife. In case OF sepa
ration he is entitled to their Gus
toby.
The only remedy at present
open to married women agaist
laws reducing them to a condition
nearer slavery than freedom, is
divorce. We are not surprised,
therefore, that two-thirds of the
divorces granted III this State are
granted TO wives, who have thus
obtained restitution of their own
property, control their own chill
dreu, and q share OF their own
earnings.

GEN. SHERIDAN TO RETURN TO
NEW ORLEANs.-Our telegrams
from Washington, in another col
umn, contain the text OF an order
issued yesterday by direction Of
President Grant from the Head
quarters Of the Army, assigning
Gen. Phil. Sheridan TO the com
mand Of tie Department of Louis
lana.
Considering that Louisiana is
no longer under the Reconstruc-
ton laws but is a State in the
Union, and that there is nothing
to be done here in the military
line, there is but Que explanation
OF this order. 1t is born of spite
and indicates the littleness OF tie
mind and heart OF Ulysses Grant,
President OF the Uuited States
1t indicates desire to Insult the
white people Of Louisiana and to
degrade Gen. w. S. Hancock, who
is ordered to the frontier. We
thought Grant above this unsol-
dierlike meaEness, this petty ex-
hi5itiOn Of ill-nature.- N. o. Bee.

We copy'as follows from the
Mansfield Times of the 9th in
slant:
We venture to say that the
heaviest land sale was made In
this place q few weeks since
that has been made III the
State for many years. DR.. T..
FL. Patterson sold his entire
landed estate, consisting OF
$4,000 acres, lying in this par
ish and Sabine, which he enter
cd from the Government many
years ago, to Messrs. E. w.
IIamiin & Co, OF Cincinnati,
who, we believe, will enaeavor
to eoIonise it with immigrants
from the North and West. We
do not know the price paid per
acre, but think it was reason
able for both paJties.

nSVe noticed Yesterday the
fact that the Louisiana, delegation
are to be excluded from participa-
ton in the organization OF the
House on account Of the omission
OF the words !!d,Ily elected from
their certificates. It appears, Just
as we suggested, that this omis-
sion was intentional, the governor
having taken this method Oh de-
cltlin1 the question of the election
to bis liking. Yesterday Mr. st.
Martin, member elect from the
first district, called on the cover
nor and demanded a certificate in
due form, which that fjutctionary
declined to give, asserting that
Mr. st. Martin was not duly elect
ed, the election having been, in
the G0voyern's opinion, farce.
Governor Warmoth's duty is,
simply, to Issue a certificate based
upoa the returns, as made to him,
he being merely the returning OF
fcer, but, in this case, he has as
sumtd to go behind tie returns,
or rather 10 refuse the certificate
which the law eompels him to is
sue, on the groand Chat the re-
tarns are not what they purport
to be; in other words, that the
candidate WHO has q majority of
votes is not duly elected. This is
question which the Constitution
reserves exclusively to Congress,
and with which the Governor has
nothing TO do. In assuming to
decideft he urps'functions which
do not belong to hIm, and violates
the theory of representative gov
erament. If a returning officer
has "a right to refuse certificates
to the candidates having a major
Iity OF votes just because he chooses
to consider the election farce,
| elections will be really farces. In
this ease Gov. Warmoth had made
/ a general certificate in due form,
which was published in the Re
publican Of November 18th and
the omission in the special certif-
Gates was evidently an after
thought inspired by the defeated
carpet-bag candidates. Il Y. O.

One year before the close of
the war a man named Daniel
Jackson died, leaving in the
hands of Wendell Phillips aud
VIM. Lloyd Garrison, as trus-
tees, ten thousand dollars, to
be used in promoting the aboli-
ton of slavery in the United
States. After one thousand
had been spent the war had
brought the desired consumma-
ton about, and the two trus-
tees are now quarreling about
the remainder Of the money.
Phillips claims it for the Anti
Slavery Standard; Garrison to
educate negroes Strangeth
neither of these humanitarians
think of mitigating the slavery
of the factory girls, in New
England. No more legitimate
use could possibly be made of
it; but these girls have the mis-
fortune to be white. Pity them
that they were not all born
negroes.-[N. O. Times, 9th.

EoRRoRs OF THE TRAPEZE The Phil.
adelphia Inquirer OF June l4th says a
scene of considerable excitement &C
Cured at the American Theatre, on
Walnut street. above Eighth. on Sat
urday evening, during the flying ira.
peze performance Of two artists an
nounced on the bills as Lila and Zoe.
One of their fears consisted in Lila, q
full grown young woman, swinging her.
self by means Of two ropes suspended
from The ceiling, from platform erect
ed in front of the gallery, entirely
across the auditorium, until she touch IS
with her feet a rrapeze that hangs at
considerable altitude over the orches-
ira. Securing herself on This trapeze
with her feet, her body bangs down
ward. and she remains in that position
while Zoe, a child of eleven years Of
age, mounts the platform iu the gallery,
and Selling the iron rings attached to
the ropes mentioped, throws berselfoff,
and darts toward Lila, ard when near
ing her the chIli throws q summersault
in mid air. and her only chance from
heing crushed 10 death by falling from
the dizzy height among the audience in
the psrquette is being caught by Lila.
Who hangs with her head downward
from the trapeZe.
Certain death would be the result of
the slightest mistake made by either Of
the performers. On Saturday evening
the feat was successfully performed, i,
is true, but Lila barely caught the
child as she revolved in the air. As
The latter WAS descending, however, to
the stage, the man whose duty it was
to catch her from the hands of Lila
failed to do so, and the poor child fell
TO the platform placed over the orches
ira. a distance of several feet, and struck
her head and otherwise injured herself.
The child was picked up. when che
placed her hands to her
head, and it was apparent that she was
seriously hurt, Notwithstanding this,
she was most inhumanly ordered to re-
mount the platform in the gallery and
rep-at the feat. The child obeyed, but
such conduc, on the part of those bav-
ing charge OF the exhibition was too
much for the audience TO stand, and
there was unanimous cry Of No,
no !" g Shame" shame I" F." Take her
back p " Take her back ~ etc. In
the meantime. the child mounted the
platform, and then stood ready to re-
peat the feat but the audience rose en-
nasse TO their great credit, and prevent
ID the ropes from being handed.
