The Amnesty Bill,

The general amnesty bill, which passed
Congress on Wednesday, was signed by the
President at o'clock, P. NJ, on the same
day, and is therefore now law. The excep-
tions will not, it is thought, number two hum
dred persons. They include Mr.. Davis and
General Breckenridge. The passage OF the
bill adds another to the list of Democratic
Representatives. for Mr. Sion H. Rogers, OF
North Carolina, who has been excluded from
bis seat on account of disability, will now be
sworn in.
The Civil Rights and Habeas Corpus Bills.
The supplemental Civil Rights bill and the
bill to continue the extension of the privilege
to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to the
4th of March next, were both passed by the
U. s. Senate on Wednesday night last. 1t
is said, however, that they are likely to fail
10 the House. Although the former was so
amended as not to provide for mixed schools
or equal privileges in benevolent institutions
or cemeteries, and is thereby less Objectionable,
1t nevertheless is at the bottom of all the bills
on the Speakers table in the House, where il
will be quite impossible to take it up by the
required two. thirds vote. Mr.. Sumner was
absent from the Senate when the bill passed
and on ascertaining the fact, became very
indignant over its consideration in his absence
and also over the omission of some of its social
equality features. As for the bill to continue
the suspension of habeas corpus, it is pretty
evident that there is decided majority in the
House against it, and it is therefore likely tt
fail

What Constitutes a Valid Marriage

The Maryland Law Reporter of the Goth
instant publishes certified copy of the opin
ion of the Court of Appeals in the case of
Marcus Deuison, Administrator of Henry C,
Denison us. Georgana B. Denison, which
went up on appeal from the Orphans Court
of Baltimore City. The case was very fully
argued in the Court of Appeals by l. Nevett
Steele and Archibald Sterling, Jr., Esqs., for
the appellant, and E. Beatty Graft and James
A. Buchanan, Esqs., for the appellee. In the
language of the Judge, Hon. r. H. Alvey,
who delivered the opinion of the Court, 'the
case presents questions of great and delicate
interest to society, and which would seem to
be presented for the first time for direct adj
Indication in this State" The facts, which
are fully set out in the opinion of the Court,
are that the appellants intestate and the APP
pellee had agreed, on the 18th of January,
1868, to be and regard each uther as husband
and wife; that in pursuance of such agree
ment they cohabited and lived together as man
and wife; that the appellee was maintained
and supported by the deceased up to the time
of his death as his wife; and that they both
acknowledged, recognized, and acted towards
each other in all other things as husband and
wife, and were known, treated, and reputed
to be such among their friends and acquan-
tances.
The question presented to the Court was
whether such a marriage as the one set up
and relied on can be maintained by the laws
of the State of Maryland; it was contended on
the part of the appellee, that such marriage
is good and effectual at the common law, or
rather by the canon law, and that as we have
adopted the common law of England, of which
the canon law forms part, this marriage must
be sustained, having been contracted by the
parties, as it is alleged, per verba de PRESENT.
This proposition, on the other hand, was con-
troverted by the appellant, by whom it is con-
tended that such marriage, even if contracted
as alleged, was not valid and binding because
it was not duly celebrated according to the
rites of any church or religious denomination
of any kind whatever and that the common
law gives sanction to any such marriage
as that attemp pied to be established by the APP
pelee.
After lengthy review of the law, the Court
concludes its opinion by saying: so far as
we are Informed. this is the first instance In
which a marriage contract of the nature of
the one here set up, alleged to have been made
in this State has ever been attempted to be
maintained as constituting a valid marriage
in any of our Courts. These loose and ire
guar contracts, as general thing, derive n"
support from morals or religion, but are most
generally founded 10 a wanton and lcentions
cohabitation. Hence the laws of the State
has given them no sanction"

How We Used to be Physickcd.

Who does not remember the time when spring
purgation was considered indispensable to sum-
mer health? No matter for wry faces the in
evitable salts and SIENNA, rhubarb or calomel
and Jalap, must be administered. These spring
medicines" the youngsters were told, were to
keep them hale and hearty during the summer,
We all know now that this was a fallacy; that
new vigor, not depletion, is what is required at
the commencement of the summer solstice. AS
a preparation for the enervating effects of OPP
pressive summer weather, course of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is highly expedent. This
famous vegetable preparation has three promi-
nent properties 1t renovates, purifes and re-
gulates all the functions of the body. 1t is
composed exclusively of pure vegetable produc-
tions viz: the essential principles of Mononga-
hela Rye, and the most efficacious tonic and
Alternative roots, banks, and gums known to
medical botanists. Hence it is an absolutely
safe medicine, and no tincture of the Pharma-
copoeia can compare with it either in purity, or
in the variety of its objects, and its compre-
hensive results. Happily for mankind, the
theory that it was necessary to PROSTATE pa
tent in order to cure him, is forever exploded,
and the true philosophical doctrine, that Vigor
is one great antagonist of disease, has taken its
place. Hostetter's Bitters is an invigorant,
and hence it is the proper medicine for the fee
BILE at this most trying season of the year. Be
sure that you obtain the genuine article, as
there are innumerable vile limitations in the
market. Look to the ornamental stamp, the
engraved label, and the name blown into the
glass. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is sold in
bottles only.

Sixteen Years of Successful 1865 the now
famous Mustang Liniment was first made known
to the public by extensive system of adver-
Using. From that time to the present, the de-
mand for it has been steadily increasing until
it has taken the lead of all embr ocations lotions,
ointments and other exter nal remedies, import
ed or domestic, ever ntroduced into the Amer
lean market In the most celebrated racing
and trotting stables, in the establishments of
stage and city companies, and in the stables
of private gentlemen, it is the only recognized
cure for such diseases OF the horse as requires
outward treatment. Nor is it less valuable as
local application for some of the most distress
ing complaints to which man is subject. Rheu-
matism, stiffness Of the joints, neuralgia sore
throat, tumors, wens, earaChe, toothache, yield
to its n-subduing, counterirritant properties,
and burns, scads and cuts are healed with in
credible rapidity under its operation.

who, as soldiers or sailors, upheld the flag
and maintained the unity of the Republic,
shall ever be gratefully remembered and hon
orably requted.
These propositions, so ably and forcibly
presented in the platform of your Convention,
have already fixed the attention and comman-
ded the approval of large majority of our
countrymen, who jnyfully adopt them, as |
do, as the basis of true, benefcent national
reconstruction; of a new departure from jeal-
ousies, strifes, and hates, which have no ad-
equate motives, or even a plausible pretext
into an atmosphere of peace, fraternity. and
mutual goodwill. In vain do the drill-ser-
geants of decaying organizations flourish
menacingly their truncheoEs and angriy in-
sist that the files shall be closed and straight
ened. In vain do the whippers-in of parties,
once vital because rooted in the vital needs
OF the hour, protest against straying and bolt
ing, denounce men nowise their interiors as
traitors and renegades, aud threaten them
with infamy and ruin.
| am confident that the American people
have already made your cause their own, fully
resolved that their brave hearts aud strong
arms shall bear it in triumph
10 this faith and with the distinct under
standing that if elected, shall be the Presi-
dent not of party, but of the whole people,
| accept your nomination, in the confident
trust that the masses of our countrymen, North
and South, are eager to clasp hands across
the bloody chasm which has too long divided
them, forgetting that they have been enemies
in the joyful consciousness that they are, and
must heuceforth remain, brethren.
