oils correspondent has been getting up a
sensation. He prctent.s to have made
the discovery that the law passed in 1852
in relation To marriages was not in ac-
cordance with the constitution of the
State, slight omm;ssion having been
made in the original BILL From this he
argues that all marriages, in the State
since that time have been illegal. If the
act of 1892 is unconstitutional ard void it
amounts to nothing The old iaw, in
that case, which was good enough, re-
mains in force. Sensational newspaper
reports have become disgusting 10 the

Kosciusko and Fulton Counties, who had
been absent from his seat in the Legisla-
sure nearly all the time since the session
commenced, appeared in his place Lass

was Occasioned by the sickness OF his son.
Some severe charges had been published
against him, accounting for his absence !;
but they must have been false, or he
would not have been treated SO kindly by
the House.
