ANOTHER PAIR IN HIGH LIFE FIGHTING LIKE
CATS AND DOos-wHAT CONES OF SARATOGA
MATCHES.
An interesting divorce suit before tho Su-
preme Court Is just now the society gossip at
New York. Adeline II. Douglass, the COM
plainant, first met her husband, George w.
Douglass, at Saratoga, six years since, where
he figured az dashing young New York bro
ker, worth half million, at least. Their &C
quAintance was soon followed by marriage,
and ever since, life has been q continual jangle
with this ill-assorted couple, judging from
their conflicting statements at the trial. Mrs.
Douglass charges that her husband is an hab-
itual drunkard, frequently coming home
nights disgustingly intoxicated, with his ap-
paral In disorder, and with q temper disposed
to vent itself upon her In abusive epithets, and
cruel and VIOLENT treatment frightening her al
most QUO OF her senses, and making life, at
least with him, simply intolerable. With the
view to obtaining snug sum as alimOny, she
finally declares that he owns real estate worth
$500, GOO. and personal property to the amount
of 800, 900.
The husband, on the other hand, specifically
denies all these charges, and heaps Goals of fire
upon her head by mentioning the many things
he had done to make life pleasant for her, es-
cOrtlng her about to all the fashionable water
ing places, taking her to Europe, etc. He al
so has grievances to complain Of in neglect or
her part and finally desertiOn Of him. He cites
an occasion when, in playing croquet, she
happened to be opposed to hin, and during the
game said to him, rudely: "YOu state q false
hood and are no gentleman" then threw dow
her mallet and left the ground. Again, wheI
riding In Central Park, she took pains to rec
Ognize, in passing, gentleman who was hi
enemy, and upon demonstrating with her sh
leaped out Of the carriage and went horn
alone. Finally, he says that his real estate
worth less than $165, 900, aud Is unImproveC
and and unprOductlve; that his wife lives wit
her mother, and has larger income now tha
he has.

MINoRIFH REPRESENTATION -Msadhl, Of
Chicago, One Of tbs prominent advocates Of
minority rsprssontation, has written letter. sta
ting that this system, as adopted in Illinois, has
proved q sucoess. He briefly sums up the merits
Of the question as follows "The new system
commands itself aa more democratic than the old.
The whole mass of the people are now represented
in the popular branch, instead of mere majority
as formerly Every votsr, whether Democrat or
Republican, has now the man of his choice in the
Assembly t0 represent him. Neither party IS
now unTepreaented in any district, The minority
is No loDgar practically distranchised as was
previously the case. The vote OF the majority is
impaired or disturbed. The stronger party at the
polls have control Of the House, but the weaker
one is represented in proportion to its strength.
The unjust monopoly of representation is broken.

The WEST VERDICT.-The verdict of acquit-
tai in the trial at Dover Del, OF Isaac West for
the murder Of Cooeh Turner, colOred, has, like
many verdicts in capital criminal cases, taken
The public by surprise. With the particulars Of
the case our readers are, BY reason of our spe-
cial reports familiar. The plea of the prisoner,
through his counsel, in exc0lpation were self
defence and insanity. In Delaware the court
is the judge Of the law, and the jury Of facts
alone. The instructions Of the court TO the jury
bore strongly against the prisoner. Indeed the
charge Of the judge is so emphatic that 1t might
be mistaken AZ an argument for the prosecution
! rather than judicial exposition. We do not
mean 10 iuitate that there was any undue lean
| ing in the court against the prisoner, bat the
case must have been deemed Il strong one for
the State which would warrant such inslruc-
uOns. Yet we do not arraign the honesty OF in
tantion on the part Of the jury. They acquitted
the prisoner on the ground of self-deience, and
though such plea may seem absurd enough TO
some vet it IA tn be remembered that the only
direes testimony as TO the killing was Vests
confession, coupled with the assertion that the
deed was done in self-defence, and it was the
province Of the jury TO accept the whole Of thai
confession including the feature Of self defence
lifthey choose. The pubiie has an equal right tc
dissent from the justice Of their verdict, and
| as likely 10 be uuanimous in its condemnation
as the Jury in rendering It. We need scarcely
| add. in view Of the fFequent acQuittals In cas-
Of murder, that to attribute il In this instance Il
