The FIRST MARRIAGE.-We like short court
ships, and in this Adam acted like sensible
man. He fell asleep bachelor and awoke to
find himself a married man. lie appeared to
have popped the question almost Immediately
after meeting Mdlle Eve, and she, without any
Irritation or shyness gave him kiss and her
self. OF this first event in this world we have,
however, our thoughts, and sometimes in a
poetcal mood have wished that we were the
man that did it. But tho deed is done. The
chance was Adams and he improved it, We
like the notion of getting married in q garden.
Il is a good taste. We like a private wedding
ADAMS was private. No envious beaux were
there; no croaking old maids; no chattering
aunts and grumbling grandmothers. The birds
Of heaven were the minstrels, and the glad sky
hung its light upon the scene. One thing about
the wedding brings queer thoughts to US, spite
of scriptural truth. Adam and his wife were
very young to be marricd-some two or three
days old, according to the sagest speculations
Of theologans-mere babies-larger, but no
older, without experience, without house,
without pot or kettle-nothiug but love and
Eden.

MARSHAL BAzAINE.

Our readers are aware, by the telegraphiC
dispatches we have published, that the
death sentence of Marshal Bazainc has been
committed to degradation from Office and
rank and confinement for twenty years. We
are glad to hear this, for we did not think
the conduct of the French general deserved
death, tn ough we-do think it merited pun
ishment The proof seems to be that while
Bazaine was true to Louis Napoleon he was
not true to France or the existing govern
ment thereof. He was evidently intriguing
with the Germans for the benefit of his EN-
peror, who had been taken prisoner and dc
posed by the French people, Bazaino, with
the fidelity of a good dog, was true to his
master but false to France and its people.
He could have fallen back with his army
and joined the remainder of the beaten
forces of France, and thus, perhaps,
have secured the safety of Paris and
saved the degradation of its surrender
Instead of that, he kept his forces pent up
in Metz, while he was negotiating and in
triguing for the restoration of Louis Napo-
leon, and finally surrendered them, as many
believe, without any pressing necessity.
The long and great services of Bazaine, so
much dwelt upon by many as emitting him
to clemency and forgiveness, were always
rendered rather to his Emperor than to
France. The time may come, and it may
not be far distant, when this will be remem-
bcred and he will reap again a rich harvest
for his personal fidelity and sacrifices. The
French people are VIGOROUSLY tickle, and we
are inclined to believe that really the strong
est feeling actuating the great body OF
them is an attachment to the great Napoleon
and his descendants or blood relations, and
we look forward confidently to the ultimate
restoration of the young Prince, if he
should live, to the empire of his father.
When this takes place, Bazaine viii be once
more the favorite and regain all that he has
lost He was a faithful subject of Louis
Napoleon, but bad citizen of the new
French Republic.

WE publish an article elsewhere showing
how many Americans have gone into the
Canadas and obtained wealth and position
there. On the other hand a great number
of Canadians have come into the United
States, especially during the civil war;
During the existence of the war, when
there was great demand for men to put
down the so called rebellion, the United
States government welcomed assistance
from every part of the world. and many adj
venturers from Canada came in and were
given positions of some sort in the army.
When the war was over, many of them re-
NAMED and made first class carpet-baggers
for the poor overthrow South We be-
lieve they may be found in every Southern
State where the carpet-bag and scalawag
rule has not been utterly subverted. II, as
the article we publish says, Canada has
been improved by the American immigra-
ton, we cannot say that the influx Of Cana
dians to the South has added anything to
its prosperity or responsibility. Our re-
marks do not apply to Canadians who came
previously to the war, many of whom
made first rate citizens.

taxation, It could soon be paid OF entirely;
and then the burfhen, If it were really a
burthen, could be removed. The showing
made by the government was always de-
ceptive one, as averred by those who have
taken the trouble to look into the matter
and scan It closely. But in the midst Of
the apparent prosperity came the great
financial crash, and down went the great
bankers and brokers and manufacturers
and merchants and spectators Of all sorts,
and the government treasury in measure
along with them. It Is now admitted
that the Treasury vaults are running dry,
that the debt is now being increased instead
Of being diminished, and the Secretary calls
on Congress for increased taxation at a time
when the people are least able to bear it.
To make the thing sure, to increase the
amount in the Treasury beyond all con
tingency Of failure, he recommends a re-
newed duty on tea and coffee, but a short
time ago taken Of TO humbug the honest
people Of the country, and which they have
come to consider as the necessaries Of
life, not to be dispensed with. So,
too, there IS TO bc an increased tax
on tobacco and other things of COM
mon use, perhaps matches, SO that we
are again to be taxed for the light which
enables US to build up our fires or get into
our beds. One excuse for the increased
debt is the fare up about Cuba and the ne
cessity of putting the navy IN repair and in
order. But the difficulty with Spain and
Cuba might have been avoided, if our Radi-
cal government had acted properly long ago
and at the right time, and the navy should
never have been allowed to get into so low
and unworking a condition. If the millions
of dollars which have been squandered
without benefit, except to the favored and
corrupt few, had been appropriated to the
keeping up Of our navy, always a favorite
with our people, this necessity would never
have arisen. In short, all our troubles, our
immense debt, our heavy taxes, our de
creased commerce, our financial panic, all
are attributable to the ascendency, the mis-
management and the corruption of the
Radical party.

THE ELECTION Law AND THE Of
RICIAL TERMS.


We publish to-day the opinion of G. F.
Moore, Richard Coke, Thomas ]. Devine,
O. S. West and W. NJ Walton, members
Of the committee appointed by the Demo-
cratic State Convention, held At Corsicana,
to take into consideration and determine
the tenure Of Office of the Governor and
other State officials, and, also, the opinion
Of the Hon. James H. Bell, late Judge of
the Supreme Court Of Texas, which we ex-
tract from the Houston Mercury of the 18th
inst. The five gentlemen first named are
admitted to be among the first, if not the
very first, lawyers Of the State. Moore and
Coke have both been on the Supreme
Bench. Devine was for many years judge
Of the highest reputation. Walton was the
Attorney General under the Throckmorton
administration, and West IS universally adj
admitted to be one of the most acute and &C
complishcd lawyers Of the State. They are
oil Democrats, but those who know them
would suspect neither Of being governed
by a political bias in their deliberate legal
opinions. But if the Radicals are brazen
enough to charge this, We have now the
calm and deliberate opinion Of the Hon.
James H. Bell, late Judge Of the Supreme
Court and Republican in politics, a man Of
more brains and legal knowledge than can
be found in the whole other Radical force
Of the State put together. Against all. these
we have the lone and lame opinion of Will
liam Alexander, the Radical Attorney Cen
eral, and personally interested in the case,
besides being themost bitter and unscrupu-
lous partisan in Texas. It would be no
difficult matter to decide on the weight
which should be allowed these respec-
tive opinions, even II the matter was
at all doubtful, which it is not
it is as plain as sunbeam, and
could easily be seen through the
dense fog which usually hovers around the
height Of the Shot Tower, if Alexander
did ne purpOsely shut his eyes and write
hispolitical opinions in the dark Though
not o. gifted in law, he has legal sense
enough to determine this question properly,
II he would His opinion is purely . parti-
san one which every web read lawyer in the
State viii repudiate, as such, and not worth
the paper It is written on. We cannot sup
pose even that it win weigh feather in
whatever determination Governor Davis may
arrive at We have suspected, from the
beginning, that the Governor really had no
hand Ia the revolutionary utterances of the
S,ail jsaraal and the San Antonio Express,
and now, that the very clear and able opin-
ion Of Judge Bell has been promulgated,
wothinx there can be but little doubt that
be win act in accordance with it.

Looking over the proceedings Of Congress
in the case Of the spurious members from
Louisiana, who have been admitted to seats
in spite Of the plaincst proof Of fraud and
forgery, even admitted a. practiced by him
self by one Of the claimants, we come to
the sad conclusion that the Radicals, now
having a large majority IN bots houses, are
disposed 70 pay as little regard to the Con
stitution and laws Of the United States and
the States separately as any Of their prede-
cessors. Some Of them viii occasionally
put on an appearance Of fairness, aud talk
about former acts and doings as unjCstifa-
bic and not to be held as precedents to be
followed or cited as authority, but when the
pinch comes, when The party leader cracks
his whip, they all work together in
the Radical harness, and pull along
the greatest weight Of Radical ini-
putty that can be piled on by the
basest and dirtiest Of the foulest party that
ever disgraced an enlightened and pro-
fessedly free country. Notwithstanding
the report Of the Judiciary committee last
year, and the report OF the special commit
tee sent TO Louisiana to investigate and
determine the true state Of affairs in that
down-trodden, oyer-rode, negro-gOvcrned
State, by which it plainly appeared that the
present government there is nothing but the
baIdest and boldest usurpatiOn and that the
Radical claimants to seats in Congress had
not the shadow Of legal claim thereto, the
present Congress, by strict party vote of
167 to o., have admitted and sworn in the
whole batch Of fraudulent pretenders, in
GLIDING Pinchback, who at the same time is
claiming a seat in the Senate. It is enough
TO I'll one with melancholy disgust to
read over the debates on the occa-
sion, in which the Beast of Massa-
chusetts took the Radical lead, as it was
fit he should when such deed Of iniquity
was to be consummated. Even Blaine, the
Speaker, helped on the foul work by his
party rulings, with hypocritical professions
Of iIhpartially and justice on his lips. When
ButIel was confronted with his former
opinions and fatal admissions of the illegal
ity and sham Of the present Louisiana gov
eminent and all connected with it, with his
habitual efIrontery he only laughed at the
matter and went straight forward to com
plete the contemplated villainy. 1t is true
that the Radical speakers all disclaimed any
opinion Of the ultimate right of these men
to their seats after an Investigation by the
Committee on Elections, but this determine
ton adlAits them for the present, and there
they viii be votingand spouting and getting
their pay from the fourth Of last March un-
til perhaps near the close of the present
session, when the committee, perhaps, may
report that they have no right to be there
and they will be turned out Such is the
utter recklessness Of Radicalism.

As We think anythingin relation to our
members Of Congress viii be Of interest to
our readers, we have examined the Con-
grcssioaQl Record to ascertain what commit
tees they have been appointed to serve on.
The Hon. John Hancock, our immediate
representative, is on the Committee on APP
propriations; Herndon on the Committee on
Public Lands and the Committee on Expen-
ditures in the Navy Department Giddings
on the Committee on Indian Affairs and
Expenditures in the War Department
Mclean, Committee on Agriculture and Elk
penditures Of Public Buildings; Willie,
Committee on Commerce; and Mills, Com
mittee on the Territories and on Coinage,
Weights and Measures. We expect to hear
good account of all. They arc all men of
high character and respectable attainments,
and Texas may well be proud of her repre-
sentation in Congress. Messrs Hancock
and Willie being on two very important
committees of the House, Appropriations
and Commerce, they are consequently not
put on any other committees.

MUcH excitement is now prevailing in
Pennsylvania on the question of the adop-
ton or rejection of the new Constitution.
Monster meetings are being held and Tie
abIest minds of the old Keystone are en-
gagged in the discussion. The best and
purest men of all parties seem to favor its
adoption, while the ring masters, tricksters
and corruptionists are striving their utmost
to defeat it. Forney, of the Philadelphia
Press, who is by far the fairest and most i'm
partial Republican editor we know OF, is
doing noble battle for thenew Constitution,
and, if it is what its friends claim for it, we
trust it may be adopted. 1t is intended to
guard against fraud and corruption as far
as possible.
