Marriage On S1ndays-Marriage Of Nj.
y nors. NJ
A New York paper writes as follows
of such marriages:
There is, we heard an eminent lawyer
allege a few days since. no marriage le-
gal which is celebrated on the Sabbath
day. There are. no doubt, twenty thou
sand couples in this State alone for whom
the marriage ceremony was performed on
the Sabbath--many of them in the even.
ing of that day. A note drawn and
signed on the Sabbath is illegal, or any
other legal agreement between parties.
Marriage is legal contract, which. if
reformed out Of legal time, necessarily
must be void and claiming this. the
sons and daughters Of a recently de-
ceased millionaire mean to contest his
will. because in that large portion of bis
estate was willed to the children of their
stepmother, who was welded to their
father ON the Sabbath, in church in the
city of Rochester. THE State. 20 ya. 20
If the question is to be decided that
such marriages are illegal, another long
catalogue of vexatious suits will be
brought into our courts by parties SINH
larly related to the one above mentioned.
The decieion lately rendered by a
learned judge of our courts, that mar
riages of minors are illegal. and di
vorce for such not necessary in order
that they can separate and remarry lie.
gally, since it was carried into immedi-
ate practice by the parties for whom the
decision was rendered, is proving bsne-
full to society. The harm this decision
does to our social system is temporary
only, and if the entire marrying public
but learn of this decision the future
will witness less elopernents of young
couples, and less number of cases
where guileful and designing meu entice
young ladies from home in order to wed
them.
That the ceremony Of marriage per-
formed for minors on any and all days of
the week. or for couple where one is a
minor and the other an adult. should be
pronounced illegal and non-effective is not
so strange. But in the face of long
practiced customs that Sabbath day we'd
dings are illegal will strike thousands
with feelings akin to CONSERVATION -
With all ours laws and codes, it is. in
deed, strange that those legal enactments
which most concern our personal welfare
and happiness are least known and un
ders.ood by the general public, including
our most intelligent people.

On the day of the riot in New York .
policeman named Logan refused to obey
orders. He was dismissed from the
force. At meeting of the Democracy
of the Twentieth Waid in that city, ON
the evening Of the eth ult., it was re-
solved to nominate and elect Logan to an
Office. just what Office the despatch rel
ative to the matter does not state. Gov.
Hoffman was also bitterly denounced by
the same meeting. These facts tell forci-
bly, that the Democracy Of New York
have not changed their purpose, but that
they are determined to still use the mob
and the Catholic church for the perpet

YES it is true we are sick of the silly
talk of designing demagogues in regard
to the "workingman.' and if the "work.
ingman" is not sick of it. so much the
worse for him If he listens to the idle
prate Of men seeking political power
who only Astter him for the sake of his
vote, be is a poor shoat, who deserves
neither sympathy nor help from any
source Our idea of real workingman
is that he is an Independent man, as far
as one man can be independent of
another or others in this world, and per.
fectly capable Of taking care Of himself.
