Another asked him what he thought
OF General Grants Cabinet. He rcpli-
ed that he had no opinions to give on
that subject, nor did he think that, un-
der the circumstances, it would be
right or proper to do so, hut, at the
same time, if 1t would Crafty ANYBODY,
he had no hesitation in saying that he
entertained a very favorable opinion of
the gentlemen whom President Grant
had selected MS his constitutional adj

TEE NUISANCE AND DANGER OF
CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

WASHINGTON, March Ill the House
of Representatives desired to do proper
and necessary act it would Immediately
divest itself OF the power, which is now
used so unfairly, to inquire into the cleo
ton of its members. The experiences of
the last two or three Congresses has
shown that contested election cases are
managed and decided exclusively with a
view to party interest, so that, really,
popular elections have begun to cease to
have any practical effect. No one will
pretend that any decision of contested
election case in the House of Representa-
twas for the last two or three Congresses
has been governed by the merits of the
case. IF there were any facts to be in
quired into and to control the question
| they are to be ascertained, not in Wash~
ington before the Committee on Elec-
tions, but in the States and districts
where the elections take place either
before the courts or before the executive
| of the States. This is so self evident
| that the mere statement of the fact carries
its own proof with it. If a contestant OF
a seat has good grounds OF contest let
him make them out at home, before the
authorities of his own State; but let the
| House seek to go no farther than the
certificate of the Governor OF State that
the person named in it has been duly
elected.
Within the closing week OF the Con
gress Just expired halt dozen election
cases that had been pending for two
years were disposed OF. In one OF those
a delegate from New Mexico had drawn
his mileage and per diem during the Con-
gress; and his contestant was then adj
mitted pocketing thereby his mileage
and per diem, amounting to something
like $4,000. There were no less thai
three claimants from one district IL
Louisiana (the fourth having died withou
attaining the honor of q seat in thu
House. and this worthy and parti>col
ored trio had their respective ambitions
souelched last week, but were compen
stated by free gift of $500 each. Tn
present Congress opens even still Wors
in this respect. There are said to be n
less than thirty contested election case
pending in the House of Representa-
: | lives; and the very organization Of tn
House came near breaking up in dis
, | graceful row, originating in this yer
, question. Now, leaving out of view th
! | evident unfairness of the present system
its cost, its consumption of the publ
time and its general absurdity, the dar
ger that is contained in the evil ought
, be sufficient motive for getting rid OF
> in the only fair, proper and simple mar
: ner of taking the certificate OF q Sta
f Governor as conclusive evidence OF Il
f election of the party presenting it.

DIVORCE,

The Roman Catholic Bishop of TOron-
to has recently issued Pastoral Letter,
deprecatorY of the increase of divorce
cases in the civil courts, in reference to
which he uses the following plain and
unmistakable language; ......
at is urged in favor of divorce that 1t
would be intolerable for the innocent
party to be obliged to remain with the
criminal To this We say, a separation
from bed board is permitted for causes
which we need not now enumerate, and
this law meets that difficulty. 1t Is fur
Their alleged that it is hard for the innO-
cent party to remain unmarried. There
are, it is granted, individual cases OF
hardship, as there are individual cases
Of maladies and accidents but general
laws for the good of the whole communi-
ty must take their course, and indlVIdu
ais must pray, must forbear, must morris
fy their passions and cOncupiscences-
and God, who never permits any one
to be tempted above his strength, will
comfort and give them victory
"Let divorce be put as condition IN
the marriage contract, and We ask what
lady would accept it2 The doctrine OF d.
divorce keeps the marriage bond in con-
tinual state Of uneasiness. There IS ne
passion stronger and more capriciOu'
and tickle that carnal love. We hear o
mothers abandoning their husbands an(
children for other men, and fathers act
| ing the same unnatural part toward thei
wives and offspring. This unholy anC
cruel flame of unnatural love is famed
by the unhallowed Legislative permission
Of divorce. Were marriage indissoluble
the first assaults of forbidden love woul
be repelled--its approach would reeeiv
no encouragement-there would be [
Welding little by little to the temptel
since doing so would entail misery AM
disgrace upon them and their childre
in this world, and eternal unhappine:
on the guilty party in the next. 1t
easy to see that the idea of divorce Ell
courages adultery, cruelty, deserion, etc
now the idea of non-diyOrce deadens a
| nv a fiat denial"

MURDER OF A MINISTER Al A

We were inexpressibly shocked, lat
night, TO hear Of the shooting, by man
whose name our informant could not give
Us, of the Rev. Samuel Anthony, one Of
the oldest and most respected ministers of
the Methodist church in this State.
The tragedy was enacted yesterday at
Andersonville, just before the arrival OF
the up train on the Southwestern road. 1t
seems that Mr.. Anthony had gone to An
dersonville to marry q couple, aud while
in the middle of the ceremony WAS inter
rupied by the step-fsther OF the lady, wi Q
ordered him TO desist. He demonstrate d
with the intruder, telling him it was toe
late, then, and that he ought not 10 be
| guilty of such unseemly conduct The
mans response WAS the raising and firing
at almost point blank range, Of double
barrel shot gun loaded with buckshot, thu
entire load taking effect in the lower par
| of bis victims stomach. The brave ole
man fell to the floor, but by trerneDdou
effort raised himself up, and saying, .
will finish the job" proceeded with th'
ceremony, and pronounced the couple mar
and wife. He then fell down completed.

AoNE-sIDED BUSINESS.

The New York Tribune publishes
three columns of closely printed matter
containing the appropriations by the last
Congress in items. Ia cursorlly looking
over the list, we find but three items for
anv points in the South, and they, in dol
lars, are very small. The navy yards OF
Norfolk and Pensacola get a few thou
sands each, so does the city OF Columbia
for a posteffice and even these belong
to the government. We do not find a
single dollar given TO any southern i'm
provement, or to any man or thing In the
South, unless in some way IN the employ
ofor connected with the government, ex~
cept, perhaps, the Freedmens Bureau,
which was an essentially Radical piece oil

list read in reference to the Northern
States ? 1t is ungainly-unseemly-lop
