SPIRIT OF THE STATE PRESS.
This is Peace, Indeed.

From the Beaufort Republican, Radical.l
On Wednesday last strange spectacle was
presented In Baltimore. A Democratic con-
vention enthusiastically adopted a Republican
platform, and almost unanimously nominated
Two lifelong Republicans for President and
Vice-President. Thus are all the Issues OF
fifty years of partisan strife, four years of war,
and seven years OF reconstruction, buried and
forgotten. This is peace, indeed. Whether
the ticket is successful at the polls or not, the
bridge is made, and great party passes over
into new domains Of thought and action.
Do Not Jeopardfze the Cause.
From the Winnsbore' News, Democratlc.l
We are powerless to help the friends of Re-
form, and we had better act 80 as not to do
anything that would jeopardlze the cause, In
the success of which there Is everything for
our ultimate good. II our moral support can
be of avail In securing victory for Greeley,
let us by all means give It without stint. In
bis election is our only political salvation, and
in the event OF his defeat we must prepare
ourselves to receive the malignity of a vlndlc-
tive and tyrannical administration.

TIE BOND SCRIP CASES.
The Scrip Declared illegal and the Blue
Ridge Bonds Invalid.

The Columbia Union gives the following
particulars of the second days proceedings in
the revenue bond scrip cases, In addition to
those already printed In TIE NEWS.
SIN the case OF Gary vs.. Parker ct al, yester-
day, at tho opening of the court, Mr.. Melton,
of counsel for the defendants, rose and stated
that defendants counsel declined to enter
further into the argument. Mr.. Corbln then
asked whether the court wanted to hear
further from the plaintiff. Judge Willard re-
piled that the main question was whether this
scrip was of the nature of bills Of credit. He
had examined Craig vs. the State of Missouri
the decision upon which both sides seemed to
rely-and his impression was that the majority
of the court sustained the point that any obll-
CATION designed to be used as currency would
be a bill of credit within the meaning of the
Constitution of the United States. In this
case, there has been an attempt to make this
scrip legal tender to some extent. which
makes the point still stronger. If his conclu-
slons were erroneous, 1t rested with the de.
fence to show them 30. II they did not Wish
to make the attempt, there was hardly any use
for further argument. It seemed to him that
there was little for him to do except to follow
the decision of the Supreme Court OF the
United States. Mr.. Corbln read short argu-
ment, with the design of further calculating
the point that the scrip are bills of credit, and
also to show that there are no bonds of the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company lawfully Issued
by the company and guaranteed by the State,
and that, therefore, no scrip can be lawfully
issued to redeem said bonds. The act of 1872
is also null and void, because it is In violation
OF several articles OF the State constitution"

Gathering on the Farm.
CHAPPAoUA, N. Y, July ls.
The assemblage of the Democratic commit
tee and others on the farm of Hon. Horace
Greeley to-day was merely a social gathering
or picnic. Greeley conducted the various
delegates over his farm in the forenoon and
described all Its peculiarities. bountiful
dinner was served at one o'clock, after which
Greeley addressed the meeting, consisting OF
about Ave hundred people. He said it was
social gathering, having no other pur-
pose than congregating for pleasure
There were friends from home, from far
and near, and he wished they would
frequently visit him at bis farm. The
speaker then described his sojourn at Chappa-
qua for the last twenty years, and said that In
spite OF what the public at large might think
of his farming capabilities, he could inform
them that he had lost nothing. Itwas true
he spent some money; 30 had he lent some,
and tho latter had gone ''where the woodbine
twineth;" whereas, the money he spent on
his farm was to some good. At all events, he
knew where 1t was. His present property

GENERAL sHERMAN sNUBBED.

NEW YORK, July l3.
a Berlin correspondent writes that General
Sherman expressed himself disgusted, not
only with his reception there but with German
manners generally. At the union at Minister
Bancrotts, at which Won Moltke was present,
the two generals scarcely did more than ex-
change salutations. Sherman's meeting with
Prince Frederick Charles passed of in about
the same way. At Potsdam Sherman was re-
fused admittance to the Park because the En-
peror was entertaining some imperial guests.

LETTER FROM SALEM.

SALEM, Nov. 2s, 1872.
EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
NY attention has been called lately to
the subject of divorces, by reading
numerous slurring articles in the papers
on the frequency of such suits. The ap-
plications are almost invariably from
the wives; and drunkenness, violence
and destitution are the causes alleged.
At the late term of the Circuit Court in
this city several have been granted,
drunkenness, beating, kicking and per-
sOnal indignities of a cruel and revolving
character being fully proved in each
case. II there is frequency in the ap-
plicatiOn, it is because more husbands
are being ruined, beggared and mad
dened by the increased use of poisonous
liquors. The high price of pure alcoholic
drinks since the war begun is one in
ducement for INSCRIPTIONS dealers to
make up villainous compounds OF water,
vitriOl, stryehnine and other drugs that
much sooner madden and destroy man.
kind. The cases here all had their

origin in the saloon. In Dallas ten
cases are reported. In fact, it is said TO
be unsafe to ride through the streets of
that town by day or night unless YOU
are in an iron-clad wagon for fear of
stray bullets flying around loosely from
some of the drinking dens of that
delectable village.
No wonder applications for divorce
are frequent. If men shoot each other
under the maddening inflammations of
the fell poison they are imbibing in the
saloons, with what feelings of reckless
madness will they be actuated when
they go home to their defenseless wives?
What can these wronged and injured
women do? 1t is something to see their
once prosperous and happy homes
destroyed, their children and themselves
reduced to beggary and want. But for
these the law furnishes them no remedy.
Only until they are beaten, manned or
half killed in body can they ask the law
to protect them by severing the bond
that whiskey had long before broken
and destroyed.
\ few years ago all northern America
arose in arms over the wrongs, injuries,
violence and atrocities inflicted by the
fell spirit of slavery upon the hapless
and defenceless slaves. Can it be that
our white women, our own wives and
daughters, are of less consequence to US?
Shall it become necessary that we who
are rearing daughters, and nurturing
them tenderly and carefully to make
them become lovely women, must
change our course entirely, and provide
them with the derringer and the dagger
that they may be able to defend their
fragile bodies in after years from the
assaults of maddened, brutalized and
drunken husbands, from whose violence
the law is to furnish no divorce.
Surely those newspapers that speak
lightly and desparagingly of divorces
are not acquainted with the facts proven
in nearly all Of the cases that come into
court at the instance of female plaintiffs.
Nine-tenths of divorce causes originate
in saloons. Ifthey are to be kept open to
destroy husbands, please, good news
papers, to leave the divorce courts open
for the salvation of wronged, beaten and
injured wives. Truly yours, etc,
G.. w LAWSON.

CORRECT.

The ''sex" have gained a favorable
point in England. Ahusband over there
wanted n divorce. His wife was pure,
irreproachable and above suspicion. To
secure his object, he hired a gorgeous
looking man, and told him to test the
power of resistance of the unsuspecting
wife. This "shadown was faithful to
his trust. The woman fell. Then the
husband came triumphantly to the
front. His suit for a decree of divorce
was begun. 1t came to trial. The tes-
timony of the "shadow" was that the
wife had been guilty. 1t proved more
than that; namely, that she had been
guilty with the aforesaid shadow" !"
This, Of course, would be sufficient
ground for divorce on chargeof adultery.
But no. Let us hear the defense. They
admitted the guilt of the wife; proved
that she had been criminal with no
other person; and then put in that such
"shadow" was an agent of the husband,
and that every principle was response
BILE for acts of an agent. The Court so
held, and the wicked husband had still
a wife to whose fall he had been instru-
mental. This is at once law and COM
mon sense.
