The above, which Is taken from the New
York World, clearly defines the Issues OF the
campaign. The Republican party and the
country accepts the challenge, which We are
glad to sec thus clearly and early laid down.
To be sure, II Is ouly what we have all along
been cOntendiDg would DO the meaning Of
the election Of Mr.. Greeley, but we rejoice
that 1t has boon admitted by the authorized
organ Of tho Democratic party. "A Demo
cratic House OF Representatives and Demo-
cratic Cabinet" are the last things In the
world that the American people desire or will
have, animated as that party still is, or rather
the leaders OF 1t, with a desire to open up
old issues and reaght old fights.
But how docs the World know that Mr..
Greeley Is 10 have Democratic Cabinet :
The Blnghamton Republican has told us Of a
bargain between Greeley aud Seymour and
Hoffman, aud one or two other prominent

this announcement In the World as an Au-
thonticated announcement Of the terms and

The question Of whether marriages be-
tween slaves arr legal has Just been raised in
Virginia court and win DO duuldod in few
weeks. II aroso In ibis way II 1859 mar
rlage was contractcd betwccn Louis QuAndcr,
freq man Of color, and Susan Picrson, a
slave woman belonging to one Lovi Burke,
whose property she continued 10 be until the
proclamation Of emancipation. Qdander died
interstate In 1884, and suit Is now entered by
his half brother for the possession Of about
two hundred acres Of land Of which Quander
was the owner ut tho time Of bis decease.
The right Of this property turns upon the va
lidlty Of the marriage In 1879, and large
number OF eminent counsel have been re-
tained on both sides. Without pretending To
go Into tho legal merits Of the case, we can
not help thinking and saying that the equities
and certainly the morality are all on the
woman's side. Il should not. however, sur

from the Virginia Judges. Il would be just
like the majority Of them, and would eOmporl

A Louisville (Ky.) clergyman preached a
