Dancers, and good judges could be selected fro,,
them. would say that this city affords at least !,
lew good dancers, and a few good judges, two can
be selected here and you bring two from Boston
and they can select one more; there is no dicul
ty about fair judges. You can bring your leader q,
music, or band, or select some here. We have
good music in this city. The Portland people are
fond OF good dancing, and want all the novelties
They cannot 60 to Boston, but want to zee Russ B.
Walker, Esq, the great teacher and author of the
Boston Dip, etc. The City Hall is fine place for
the occasion, and if you will compete with me mere

with you there at any respectable hall you may Sc

the plaintiff should prove to your satisfaction
the truth Of all the allegations contained in
the libel. The respondent contends that you
must be satisfied OF the truth of all the allega-
tions contained in the libel, or you cannot Fl nd
verdict in favor of the plaintiff-in favor OF
the divorce. The statute reads as fellows, II
the jury find that the allegations are true and
that divorce ought to be granted, the Court
will SO decree. IF they find the allegations
true;" does that mean all the allegations con.
tanned in the libel? Is that the fair interpre.
tation of the statute? 1t has been the practice
of the several judges of this Court to grant di-
Vorcas when part emily OF the allegations are
proved, if in their judgment the allegations
which are proved render it reasonable and
proper that divorce should be granted. We
have not required that all the allegations
should be proved, and know of no reason why
il should be required of the jury to pursue a
different course from that which the judges
themselves have been in the habit of pursuing,
therefore decline to instruct sou, as a matter
of law, that it is essential that you should find
all the allegations true in this libel; you see
there are TWO distinct grounds upon which the
plaintiff claims that she is entitled to divorce
drunkenness and cruelty. If you find the
drunkenness to the extent stated in the libel
that he was common and habitual druukard
and that he had been for more than three
years or for the length of time stated in the
libel, common and habitual drunkard, if Won
fail to find the abuse and extreme cruelty al.
cumstauceS divorce ought to be granted, YOU
will SO find. Ii you fail to find that he was q
common aud habitual drunkard, if you find
personal abuse and extreme cruelty, as alleged
in the libel, and you think that cruelty is suffi
Gent to make it reasonable and proper that 9
divorce should be granted, you will be author.
lied to grant it, In other words; if you find
either charge proved, and that charge, wher
proved, ia your Judgment renders a divorce

you are not obliged to rnd q verdict in favor o

The attempt to write down Gen.
eral Grant is the most silly thing
that any American ever undertook.
The Democratic papers denounce
him as no statesman and no gener-
al, snd a man of no capacity what
ever. This thing is too absurd.
General Grant was never defeated
In battle. Wherever he appeared
victory perched upon the beloved
old flag. II he isn't q good general
the world never had one; if he isn't
an efficient. faithful, honest and
competent statesman, then the
world never produced one. He is
doing for the people the best thing
that can be done for them. He is

rebellion n which his genius suppress

yithout i was fres; and sif part ot tho

Labor should b .luc.t-n. The Re
publican purity Is in favor Of educat'ng
every body. The children of>the laoor
ing class should be educated. 1t is i'm
portsnt in every point Of view. By be
ing educated they srs placed upon lev
el with the children of the rich and ops
ulent. They may rise to the highest
honors in the State. Education is the
great equalizer Of men. Where two men
are educated and have full possession OF
faculties, they may be said to be equals.
though one starts without a fortune and
the other with one. It is an essential
principle of the Republican party which
we have tried to carry out in the South-
ern States, which We are in favor OF ex-
ecuting elsewhere, that labor should be
executed. sA
Now the Democratic party can not be
said to be friendly to education or free
schools-not but what the majority Of
that party are in favor Of free scnuols--
but il is true everywhere that the ene>
mics Of free schools are members Of the
Democratic party. Applause.
The Democratic party is not very
friendly TO free schools. for the very nat

been very friendly to the Democratic
party. [Laush;er.l G4s
