The manner of Mr.. EvArts was tedious and

A Defense Of Jndre HING.


Perry" of this place, in a communica-
ton to the Toledo Commercial last week
makes the following defense Of the conduct
of Judge HAAo in the passage Of the En-
abling act:
You have probably learned that tho Bill
providing for another vote as to where
shall be located the seat of justice of this
County, has become a law, and that its en-
actment was followed by an odor not the
most savory. And here please permit n
abatement to correct I'm erroneous imprcS-
sion which, doubtless, has been made upon
the minds of many. Your correspondent
is not an admircr OF Judge Haag's conduct,
but he trusts that he, like the Commercial,
Is willing TO do justice even TO bitter polit-
ical and personal enemy. After Judge
Haag was selected to take charge of the
Wood County Bill, and when the conteat
became sharp and spirited, but before the
500 Jokes were thought OF, he said to the
Perrysburg lobby that, If they should, dur
ing the struggle, use any money for any
purpose in connection Herewith, to say
nothing to him about it, that he wished and
must know nothing about IL. The gentle
men from Perrysburg assured us that from
FIRST TO last not n word ever passed between
them and the Judge as to the use Of money
tp obtain votes for the bill. Why the
Judge should make this request when the
use OF money had not been thought OF
spoken OF, / know not, unless it was his
knowledge OF legislation which suggested
to his mind what might possibly occur.
Be that as it may, the writer has no heal
fancy in saying The was at Columbus a
portion of the time, that Judge Haag was
entirely guiltless OF attempting to bribc any
member to vote for the bill, the statement
of Mr., Gordon TO the contrary notwith.

The German Law on Marriage.

A letter from Germany says: The Par
lament, after much labor, have settled the
details Of the new marriage law. Hitherto
boy in Germany might be married at six
teen and girl at fourteen; hereafter the
marriageable age is fixed at twenty for
males and eighteen for females. Until a
man ~ twenty five and woniHn 10 twenty
four, they cannot hereafter marry without
the consent Of their parents; and this provis-
ion will apply to illegitimate children as
we'll az those born in wedlock. Marriage
Ia forbidden between brothers and sisters,
half brothers and halt-sisters, step-parents
and step-children, parents-in-law and chill
dren-in-law, between an adopted child and
its parents by adoption, and between per-
son divorced for adultery and his or her
partner in the crime. In the last place,
however, such marriages may take place,
If dispensation can be obtained from the
Judges The new law also decrecs that "all
prescriptions limiting the right Of contract
ing marriage to less extent than is now
authorized by this law ARE now abolished. ;"

Think how the abstraction OF SUNDAY
would enslave the working classes, with
which we are identified. Think OF labor
thus going on in one monotonous and eter-
nal rack, fingers forever Straining, the brow
forever dropping, the loins forever aching
and the weary brain forever scheming
Think of the beauty it would efface, the
merry -heartedness it would extInguish, the
giant strength it would same, the resources
Of nature it would crush, the sickness it
would bring, of the objects it would wreck,
the groans it would extort. the lives it would
immediate. and the cheerless grave il would
prematurely dig. See them toiling and
fre,ting, and grinding and hewing, and

requiring ten days notice to be given to
liquor sellers in order to make them liable
for the results Of selling to particular per-

learn from the Democratic Union, has caused
much ill-feeling and excitement among the
citizens of the metropolis of the sandusky
Plains. The thing that did the mischief
was the notice copied below, which was
fled with the Corporation Clerk under the

attached the names Of FIVE hundred citizens
Of Upper Sandusky. being the persons to
whom dealers were forbidden to sell liquor,

Bold Bank Robbery.

SCRANTON, Pa, November s.
The First National Bank at Pittston
was broken into last night by burg
lars, who effected an entrance to the
vault, where they blew open Nv o
spherical safes, from which they alb
stracted $40, 1000 in bonds and money,
after which they decamped. The
robbers entered and departed through
the roof of the building. The bank
is a one story brick structure, with a
fat tin roof. Through the latter the
thieves cut a hole about eighteen
inches square, and from this three of
the gang descended by mean of a
rope ladder into the vault, leaving
two Of their confederates outside 10
watch and assist them in escaping.
The vault is guarded by a strong
door, supplied with a burglar alarm,
but the thieves entered through the
top OF the vault. Among the bonds
stolen were Lackawanaa and Blooms
burg Railroad bonds, amounting to
Sll,600; Wilkesbarre city bonds for
50, coo, and Pittston Seminary bonds
for 5000, besides some $50, 600 wCrth
Of bonds of the Oxford Iron Com
pany, New Jersey, and a quantity
of cash, amounting in all to over
$4,000 in bonds and money. The
thieves were surprised by one of the
neighbors just as they were escap-
ing at morning. An alarm was
raised, bat the burglars succeeded in
escaping, leaving behind them a COM
