MARRIAGE PRO TEN.

1t does not often happen that u couple are
solidly, legally, etfectually and forever married,
without intending or knowing it. But this Is
what has happened to Mr.. Angel and the
Widow Hunt, at Jackson, Mich. Both are of
the advanced, philosophical sort. Both believe
that a marriage should last only while 1T Is
perfectly agreeable to both parties. Both have
"yiews." Both think that the old and bar
"barous system of marriage holds woman
ain subsection to man. and requires
cher to surrender her individuality" which
last, for our part, VIC have always thought to
be the beauty of it. Angel & Hunt prefer
limited cOpartnership. Each wishes to keep
bis or her heart Each intends to remain ian
"indiydual" SO they drew up kind of
marriage settlement of their souls upon them
selves. 1--WE submit" they say, "to
"the bchests Of the law SO far as to
"make our union legab and that we
may avoid unnecessary annoyance. III the
"union and harmony that now exist between
Gus should continue through our natural lives,
4" then this contract is to remain in force /;
" otherwise to be null and void. (SigneD a.
a. Angel, Z. Hunt" With this caveat in
hand, they went before Judge Potts. I" Do
you, sdlu IOlts, W thio 'oht'"''
"Are these your sentiments Then they said
that they adhered, and Potts pronounced them
married.
! otis was right. They are married sOlidly,
legally, effectually, and forever. If Angel
thinks that he is not let him take up with an
other woman, and the officers of the law will
give him little information which will be more
positive than agreeable. If Mrs. Elizabeth
Angel thinks that she is still single, and is not
obliged to stand the Angelic nagging about
breakfast and buttons, let her marry some
other seraph, and find out the mean-
ing of the word bigamy. The law
is no fool If we may use the expression. You
cannot humbug the law with your documents
and reservations and views and peculiar
opinions. Your document is dead letter.
Potts did your business. He thought
You might be little crazy, but he mar
ricd you in first rate style, all the
same. We publish these facts for the
benefit Of those who think that having views
they can be married and unmarried at the
same time; that they may enjoy all the advan-
tages of the honorable condition of matrmOEy,
while they like it, and throw off its letters
when these become wearisOme. According to
all the law in the world, Mrs. Hunt that was
is Mrs. Angel that is and as for Angel HIM
self he is in q married state, with all the
privileges and appuItenances thereunto be-

that the period Of probation Is past. But it
would be giving tho lie to the grandest lessons
of our history to deny that the South is stronger
and better to-day than ever before. 1t has nd
itself of its great weakness that seemed to be
its great strength. Whatever influence it
exerts now is honestly its own, represents the
votes Of freemen, not the ownership OF flesh and
blood. The North no longer looks upon the South
as an enemy that must be watched and
resisted both strike hands In good will The
reign Of the carpet-bagger Is over, and the
South is represented once more-in the Lower
House at least-by men elected by the people,
and not by conspiracy Of Adventures from
the North, with ignorant negroes for their
dupes. They are not perhaps such great men
"a the South has sent tO the National councils
in days gone by, but they represent tie best
sense of their section. They see as clearly as
we do-perhaps they saw before we did-that
the war; with all its passions and hatreds ana
cruelties, has gone by forever. New duties
press on us from every hand. New and grave
questions must be solved; old abuses must
be rehted; evil-dOcrs must be found out ana
punished, and all the channels of our Official
life cleansed Of the impurities with which they
are clogged the credit of the nation must DO
maintained and improved. To these and the
other great tasks which await them we hope
to see the Southern members address them
selves in q spirit worthy of the brave and
generous people whom they represent. There
is work enough, and to spare, and the better
elements of the North are in need OF help.

NEJF YORK and TIE FREIGHT RIILWAYS

A meeting of merchants is to be held at the
Chamber of Commerce tomorrow afternoon
at 9 o'clock to consider the discrimination
which the railways are now making against
this city on freights to the West. Representa-
tive houses in most of the leading branches OF
trade are expected to take part in the proceed
ings, and to furnish the meeting with reports
of the precise effect of tho policy of the trans
pOrtatOn companies upon their respective
lines of business. WD shall therefore
have no vague and useless denunclation,
but plain statements of facts, and hom all
that we can learn our citizens are likely to be
astOnished when they see the figures. The
combination rates W est from NewYork for
" the present Winter" says a letter from one
of the most important Of American houses,
"haye been arranged on a basis to many inn
"portant points Of nearly 100 per cent III Ia
vor of Boston, and always largely in favor
"of Baltimore and Philadelphia, mostly over
"the same roads, And the firm add tabu-
lar statement Of the rates per hundred pounds
on the articles in which they deal, the figures
comparing as follows: To Chicago, from New
York, 30 cents from Boston. 10 cents; from
Baltimore, 80 cents. TO Cincinnati, from New
York, 80 Boston. 16; Baltimore, "a. TO
ST. Louis, from New York, 40; Boston, %
Baltimore, ~. And so OH.
No argument is necessary to show what
disastrous effect these schedules must have
upon the business of the metropolis. The
figures speak for themselves. We trust that
the meeting at tho Chamber of Commerce will
be demonstration which the railway COM
panies will not venture to disregard. Not only
the mercantile community but the whole city
is vitality interested in putting an end to
such an abuse of the railway combination. and
the roads themselves must see, when the
matter is fairly presented, that their own in
tereSts are identical with those of the COM
munity which j. their best customer.

The unfortunate coliery explosion near
Barpsley. by which at least 14O lives have
been lost, will stimulate science TO provide
additional, precautions against the pcrils which
attend coal mining in England. Danger is
dnhappily increased since the comparative
scarcity of coal in some localities has made it
necessary 10 sink shafts TO depths at which
ventilation is difficult. Unusual risk, however,
appears to exist in the Bansley coal mining
district, 800 lives having been lost there by
an accident in 1868, and $50 by another in
1857.

The Crooked Whisky Prosecutions.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 27.-The trial OF
Avery was continued yesterday. The
testimony OF s. d. Thorp and Alfred
Bevis repeated their testimony as al
ready given in the other cases. Mr.. Be-
Wis showed letters purporting to come
from Avery and BaDcock, notifying the
ring Of the coming Of the agents.
On crOss-examination, he said he had
been informed that Secretary Bristow
was interested in the firm of Newcomb,
Buchanan & Co. This created sensa-
tion in court, and Gen. Henderson said
il the defense would show that Brlstow
was member of the ring, the prosecu-
tion would have him indicted at onoe.
o. f. Josephs, of the Treasury Depart
nfent, sent Avery to st. Louis in 1872 to
examine the accounts OF Revenue Agent
Gunther. He reported them probably
all right. Avery ir February handed
witness S100 package, saying it was
Christmas present from Joyce; and fur
ther remarked that it came in such a
way that there could be no trouble. Wit
ness bought $l00 draft and sent it to
Joyce, but it was returned with the in-
dorsement erased. Avery. afterward
said he intended to return his money
also.
