fill these judicial Offices with rebels. If

rebels who were under disability in the

UNITED STATES SUPREME CorRT-VALID-
1TY OF INDIANA DIVORCES jamin II.
Chccvcr Us. Jesse B. Wilson and Annie J.
Worcester appeal from the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia. This was an
action brought to enforce the provisions of
a decree of divorce granted in Indiana be-
tween the plaintiff in error and the defend
ant Worcester.
Mr.. Justice Swayne delivered the opinion
of this court, reversing the decree below
and remanding the cause, with directions
to enter decree in conformity with the
opinion which finds the decree of divorce
Of the Indiana court to he valid, the court
having had jurisdiction of the parties by
the appearance OF the husband in the action
without raising Tie question there. The de-
cree, for that reason, is conclusive upon the
parties to the suit. AS it is valid by the
| laws Of Indiana, and has never been Ques-
toned there, under the Constitution Of the
United States ii must prevail in every other
| portion of the country. The court also as
scrts that, 50 far from being bound by the
domicil of her husband, married woman
may acquiyc residence independent OF hci
husband whenever such residence is ne
ccs$ary to the protection Of her rights by

ARREsTED.-A man named Lawerson
Fox, living near Stafford Courthouse, was
arrested one day last week, and committed
to Jail upon the charge of horse stealing.
FOX was from Broome county, N. Y, and
had recently settled in the neighborhood
lie was tracked here by one Patton, who
identified the horse, and made affidavit
and proved by certain marks that the pro-
pcrty was his. Both Fox and Patton came
from the same neighhorhood in New York.
Much speculation ia INDUCED in whether
Fox really had stolen the horse or not, but
the description given by Patton before he
had seen the horse corresponded with the
marks upon the horse, and the impression
prevails that it was stolen.-Fredericks-

Insecurity in the South.

We defy any Radical to show
sn instance where an honest, in.
dustrious and well-behaved North
ern man, Democrat or Radical,
has been molested, either as re.
yards his life or his property, al
the South. Even more than this
can be said with truth a latitude
has been permitted to the inso-
lence of the carpet-baggers and
other Northern Radicals, which is
not allowed between Southerners
themselves. The reason of the
difference is found partly in con-
tempt for the creatures, and part.
ly in prudent desire not to add
fuel to the great flame of false
hood and SANDER on the subject.
The latter reason, and kindly feel
ing created by old associations, ex-
plain why it is that SO much indul-
gence is extended to the negroes
Southern men bearing from
them almost constantly what
would not be borne for an instant

China and the United

American literature is growing
with such surprising rapidity, it is
impossible for any but a literary
man to keep pace with its progress,
and it is only occasionally that we
can give the current issues Of the

of its merits to our readers. DIR.
Speer was a missionary at Canton

relations of "China and the Uni

creasing political and commercial
intimacy, the benefits TO be de-
rived from the introduction of the
Chinese into the various depart
ments of labor in this country,
and the duties incumbent on the
citizens of the United States in re.
gard to these new members OF the
national family. In addition, there
are presented q summary account
of the Chinese at home, and a his.
tory of their empire, their man.
ners, arts and institutions, taken
from the most authentic sources
and with corrections of the mis-.
takes and misapprehensions into
which compilers not well acquaint

A familiar intercourse of twenty
