A wild Scene I'm the Spanish COrtei
and Retirement OF the President.

A Wild Scene I'm tho spanish Cortes
and Retirement OF the President.
The Spanish Cortes yesterday presented
scene Of wild confusion. In Biscay Marshal
Serrano has thought it his duty to act leniently
towards the insurgents who surrender to the
royal army. Admiral Topete, the President of
the Council, announced that the Ministry
approved of the Generals conduct. Gorilla
moved that a vote Of censure be passed upon
6vlIano for daring to DOT on his own respon-
sibility. The motion of Zor<illa created con-
siderable excitement in the Cortes. Admiral
Topete had made special request that men,
bers would not interpellate the government.
In spite Of this request SefIor DIartos insisted
on questioning the government The Presi-
dent Of the Cortes declared that this action of
the Deputy was a personal insult to himself,
and, consequently, vacated the chair and re-
tired from the Chamber. Excitement and con-
fusion, eliminating in general tumult, fol-
lowed the retirement Of the presiding officer.
Madrid sympathized with the irritated condi-
ton Of feeling which existed among the repre-
sentatives. 1t was considered probable that
Serrano, with the other Ministers who accepted
positions in the new Cabinet, would re-
sign Office at an early moment. King
Amadeus will, it is reported, insist on making
Serrano Premier of the Council as a reward for
his recent service in quelling the Carlst in
surrectionary movement, and the most serious
consequences are expected to ensue should he
persevere in his intention. 1t is possible that
Marshal Serrano may have acted too much on
his own responsibility, but it is generally said,
notwithstanding, that he acted wisely and WE'LL
but the knowledge of this fact does not by any
means tend to improve the tone or avert the
danger Of Spanish political crisis, which has
been induced, to a very great extent, by the
denominations which ensue from party strife

DECISION TOUCHXNG MARRIAGE.

An interesting decision has just been rem
dered by the Supreme Judicial Court, touch
ing the question of marriage where parties
belong to sects.which entertain views hostile to
the marriage relation. The case on which
the decision is based grew out of petition
presented to the Supreme Court in April,
1871, by Mr.. Asaph B. Child for leave to
marry, and at the hearing before Judge Wells
the following facts we're developed: At the
April term of the Supreme Court holden at
Cambridge in 1868, Mrs. Eusebia S. Child
obtained divorce from the bonds of matri-
mony from the petitioner, on the ground that
she had separated from her without her con.
sent, and had united with a religious sect oil
society that profess to believe the relations OF
husband and wife void and unlawful and had
continued with such sect or society for three
years. At the hearing before Judge Wells or
the petition, Mr.. Child testified that he had
never joined any sect or society which ignored
the marriage relation, but admitted having
published book styled "unhappy marriages,
wherein he claimed that the laws relating te
marriage tended to produce misery, and ad
vocated their repeal as the best means Of
preventing adultery, prostitution and causes
of divorce. He further testified that however
strongly impressed he might be that there
would be less crime, wickedness, suffering
and poverty in the Commonwealth if the bon
dage of the marriage laws were removed,
which he thought ought to be done, still he
had always been law abiding citizen and ac-
cepted marriage laws as binding upon him
until repealed, and intended to obey them in
the future. In answer to questions by the
Court, he said that he entertained the same
views upon the subject as when the divorce
was granted; that his views as held by him
then and now are expressed in the book which
he published. 1t also appeared that the di-
vorce was granted his wife upon evidence con-
tanned in that book, and proof of correspond
ing expressions of opinion by him, and proof
of his separation from her for three years.
His version of the separation was that his
wife was repulsive to him. The Judge en-.
tertaing doubts whether the case was one in
which authority to marry again ought to be
given reported the matter to the full Cour
and that tribunal has dismissed the petition or
the following grounds:
"a man who with notice and opportunity t.
meet the charge allows divorce to be OBJ
tanned against him upon the ground of any
| condition of mind or body, or religious asso
citation, which by law renders him unfit fol
the marriage state, is not to be granted leave
| by the Court to marry again, without proc
that he has changed his condition in this re-
spect. The majority of the Court is of the
opinion that this rule governs this case. =

purpose being to prevent illegal acts under
the American flag. 1t declares that there is
no intention to injure foreign interests, least
of all American, and states that an inconven-
vile will be remeded by special permits. Pa
lacios refers to the possibility, in defending
certain points, that shots may cross over to
the American side, and disclaims in ad vance
any intention of offending the dignity of the
nation.
Gen. McCook in replying protests against
any attempt to execute article 9Th, which
blockades the Rio Grande twenty five miles
by land and seventy-fve by water, and is con
trary to article 9Th Of the treaty of Gauda
lOupe Hidalgo.
He expresses the hope that all vessels sail
ing under the United States flag from one
American port to another on the Rio Grandt
will be permitted to do so without molestatior
and guarantees that there shall be no violation
of the neutrality laws.

The representatives of Japan in this coun-
try have expressed much annoyance and cha
grin at the reports recently circulated in this
country and Europe concerning the persecu.
ton of native Christians in their own couu-
try. The Truth probably is, that such official
prosecutions as may have occurred has been
under petty local authorities, for which the
general government is in no way responsible,
and that even these were grossly exaggerated
by first reports. Letters of recent date from
our missionaries make no mention of such
prosecutions.
