PROBABLE ROYAL MARRIAGE.-There
Is reason to believe that England will
shortly have another Royal marriage
The visit of the Duke of Edinburgh to
the Hanoverian ex-royal family at Gmun-
den is believed on the Continent to be
connected with the dukes betrothal to
one of the eX-king's daughters. He has
two, both of them, it is said, under
twenty-one, and both very pretty. Their
father is reported to be one of the rich
est men in Europe, so that there ought
to be no difficulty about the dowry,
which will be especially gratifying to
Mr.. Lowe, at this season of discomfort
Mr.. CoLFAx AND THE TRIBUNE AGAIN.
The Brooklyn Union has an editorial
on Mr.. COlfax as editor of the Tribune,
assuming that he will accept. On this
point it says: ''Mr. COlfaX has not yet
publicly slgnified his intention of accept
ing the position, but we have good rea-
son for believing that he will do so. The
offer made HIM would be considered a
tempting one to any person sustaining
less elevated official relations with the
people and the government, but the case
will be an unprecedented one should he
vacate the NicePresidency to assume
control of the Trjbune.

A LAW THAT IS NOT LAw.-Thr Lcgis-
lature of Vermont. at its last session,
passed n law. which was approved by
the Governor, that ''in prosecutions for
selling, furnishing or giving away intoX-
icating liquors, under the provisions of
chapter ninety-four of the General
Statutes no person, other than the res
pondent, shall be excused from testify
ING. for the reason that his testimony
may tend to criminate himself" This
Is all very we'll and good law, but it
seems to Us to be more idle, superfluOus
| and inpXpedient to re-enaCt a principle
of the common law, and the judicial de-
/ cisions Of our courts, than Daniel
Webster thought it to be for Con-
! grcss to ''re-enact the law of God" Not
content with this effort they go still
further and provide, in second section,
that "such testimony as given by any
such person. shall thereafterward be
used in any court in any prosecution of
such person, for the same offenses in re-
gard to which said testimony was given.
Here is whore the Legislature fail to
make themselves understood. or try ia
enact into a law what cannot be made
law What they intended, it is difficult
to understand, unless they proposed tc
make the minutes Of the testimony of q
witness competent evidence in future
trials of the same respondent, for the
same otteuses, on appeal, when the wit.
ness himself cannot be personally pro-
duced. If this was their intention, they
have lamentably failed to make it clear,
Perhaps the intention was to muddle the
whole matter. If so, they have admir-
ably succeeded.

/ .'AN EXEMPLARY LEGIsLArURE. THE
| New York Times, under the head of
| AN Exemplary Legislature says: The
! Legislature of Vermont, which has just
closed its sessions at Montpelier, if not
! in all respects a model Legislature, has
at least furnished an example in many
things which the people of this State
would like to see followed at Albany.
+ Although the Green Mountain State,
under it's amended constitution, is only
| blessed with biennial sessions of the
! Legislature, yet the body that has just
/ adjourned at Montpelier found time, in
the brief space Of fifty-seven days, to
pass all the laws that their constituents
| are supposed to need for two years to
| come When it is considered that the
| popular branch of the Vermont Legis-
| lature is more than twice as numerous
as that of New York, and that more
| than double the time must have been
consumed in the frequent calls OF the
roll of members, some idea may be form
ed of the diligence, industry, and close
attention to business that could enable
them to finish up their work in so short
a space of time. 1t is doubtless true
that the State of New York requires a
larger amount of legislation than the
smaller commonwealth lying on its east
ern boundary and yet, if we exclude
from the session laws of this State the
acts that properly come under the head
of ''priyate legislation, there need not be
so much difference after all. Public acts,
and those affecting the we of the
entire people, need not be much more
numerous for the government of large
than of small commonwealth. 1t is
the private legislation-the framing of
laws to promote the interests OF individ-
uals and corporations-that consumes SO
large portion of the time of our Legis-
lature, and, what is still worse, that
draws around the Capitol at Albany those
vile creatures of the lobby, whose malign
influence taints with corruption the en-
tire work of the session.

tened cloth to stoves, it is said, will eft.

my brethren with regret and retire from

cnt and universal affection given to few
men. The bar are unanimous in their
euIogics and we, your brethren of the

ling integrity and your constant bcurv-
olence. May our Father in Heaven
give you many days in which to enjoy
the affections of the family, friends and
comtrymen which cluster around you
Yours faithfully.
