LEGALITY OF SUNDAY M4RRIAaEs,-In
New York the question of the legality of
Sunday marriages is exciting considerable
attention in legal as well as clerical minds.
There seems to be about an equal division
of both parties in this important matter.
1t is held that us marriage is legal, civil
contract, and that legal, civil contracts are
illegal if made on the Sabbath, it is void if
performed OH this day, An interesting test
case is now pending in Rochester, y. Y. a
millionaire died there recently, and wi!led
al his property to the children of his sec
ond wife, disinheriting two OF his own chill
dren. The marriage was performed Oh SUN
day. 1t is not clear how this will inyalidate
the will should the decision be against Sum
day marriages; but some lawyers believe
that in SUI case the will could and would
be broken. Ii the court decides that mar"
riages are invalid if performed on that DAY,
no aoubt many more interesting and point
ed cases will arise. Lawyers will grow fat
on contested rights OF property, while in
ordinary divorce they would not pay their
rent. But no decent court will decide
against the legality OF pure marriages.

THIRD DISPATCH.
Yesterdays Session.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 10.-The Con-
vention met to-day at noon in Turner's
Hall, when 10S delegates answered the
roll.
The Congressional committee was an
nounced, and is the same as last year.
The resolutions committee reported a
series of resolutions endorsing the admins
tration of Yarmouth; the faithful eXecu-
ton Of the constitutional provisions for the
public education of children, without
distinction of color; the condemnation
of appropriations to individual enter prises !;
urging the General Assembly to reduce its
expenses; denouncing the acts Of the Gus.
tom-house party in endeayoring to exclude
by force and arms the recognized delegates
to the Republican Convention, and other
unlawful acts; endorsing Grants Admins
tration requesting the removal of the Gus
tom-house party and the appointment OF
true Republicans; and when it was ascer-
tanned that the President endorsed the acts
Of the Custom-house officials, they would
withdraw their support from and repudlate
and condemn him.
1t was recommended that twenty citi-
zens visit Washington and petition for the
removal OF those persons named.
A resolution requesting United States
Senator West to inquire into the authority
given the Custom-house party was adopted.
This closed the business Of the Conven-
ton. Gov. Yarmouth was then invited
and delivered a speech.
The city press denounce the Custom
house officials, and characterize it as a
gross outrage.
The troops were removed to-day, and
business was transacted as usual at the
Custom-house. -.~s. r-
