Rev. Newman Hall, in bidding farewell

Rev. Newman Hall, in bidding farewell
to his congregation in London, prior to
his departure for this country, said that
he proposed first to 60 to Niagara and
rest awhile, and then to travel from city
to city preaching the Gospel, lecturing on
teetotalism, and promoting, os far as he
could, the bonds of brotherhood between
the two nations.
Brigham Young has 32 wives, instead
Of 36. A reporter could find but 25 of
them, recently, and asked Brigham about
the others. The prophet said he was al

casionally three or four of his wives would
die off or slip away while he was busy
about something, and he really wasn't
always able to account for them.

HOW CONGRESSMAN RETAINS POWER
Tho following is IA recent important
letter OF Treasurer Spinner 10 member
Of Congress on the back pay question:
TRrAsuRY or THE UNITED STATES,
September ., 1873.
My Dear Sir Your letter of the
Doth ult., with inclosure,a las therein stated,
is received. | don't know that can an
swcr your inquiry better than by an
extract from private letter | wrote to
another member Of Congress, this even
ing, who made like inquiry. Among
other things l said to him, THE first
controller OF tho treasury has decided that
money heretofore appropriated and that
shall remain unexpended at the close Of
the present fiscal year, ending june 80,
1874, for the pay of the salaries of MEM
bers Of congress, cannot then be covered
into the treasury. The secretary of the
treasury has gone step further than
this. He holds that the appropriation is
an independent one, and, like that for
the payment Of interest on the public
debt, always remains for the purpose for
which it was appropriated, and that there
fore there is no authority for covering it
into the treasury. Hon. John Sherman,
who drew the bill that was enacted irto
a law by the virtue Of which the unex-
pended balances Of certain kinds Of APP
preparations are directed to be covered
into the treasury at the end of the fiscal
year, and who ought to know what was
intended by the law, took the view Of
this case that you have. However, not.
outstanding his opinion that the unpaid
salaries should be so covered in, be did
conclude, in consequence Of the rulings Of
the treasury department, TO direct the
secretary Of the senate to draw his extra
pay and to hand it over to me in my
official capacity, to be covered in. This
has been done in his case, as it has been
done in many other cases. | am not a
lawyer, but if should volunteer an opin-
ion as a layman, should 20 further than
either the controller or the secretary.

it could be claimed any time hereafter il

Frs-The divorce practice of the Him
OILS courts has long been d scandal I'D
disgrace on account of the looseness of
the law which allows such easy divorce.
But according to the Chicago Tribune it
Is now something worse. The loose prac-
tice which has long been tolerated has be.
come so common and familiar that the
most barefaccd frauds are perpetrated
either without attracting any attention
whatever, or without stimulating the
judges to take any action toward reform.
The facility with which fraudulent divorces
are hurried through the courts is partly
the result Of too general statute, and
partly Of the lax practice Of treating this
class Of cases which the judges have &C.
quired on account Of the large number
that come before them. The Illinois
statute provides as regular causes of di.
vorce adultery, impotence, bigamy, deser-
ton, extreme and repeated cruelty, hab-
itual drunkenness, conviction for felony.
But in addition to these prescribed causes
the court has the broad latitude to grant
divorces on any other ground which it
shall deem sufficient. Several other states
have similar laws The state of Connec-
ticut gives the same latitude to judges.
The state of Kentucky allows divorces for
all the aforementioned causes, except
adultery. A trial by jury is prescribed
in Illinois only in those cases when the
defendant appears and denies the
charges in the compliments petition.
Divorces Of a fraudulent nature as mat
ter Of course, never come to trial by
jury. 1t is the practice of the local courts
to refer all divorce cases that do require
trial by jury to a master in chancery,
who very rarely fails to report in favor
Of a decree, which as a rule, is then grant.

eral character of the trials before mas.
