The event which has attracted the great
est attention in Canada during the year has
been that of the fierce religious controversy
over the burial Of poor Guibord's bones
They finally found resting-place, Novem-
Der 16, in the Catholic cemetery, Cote des
Neiges, Montreal. This case is one so
singularly illustrating the doctrines and
customs of the Catholic Church in this re-
gard that 1t will bear q moments research.
Guibord was q printer, and died in 1869.
Being member Of secret society, the
Institut Canadien, he had been excommu-
nicated, and his remains were refused ad-
mission TO consecrated ground. His wife
appealed to the Superior Court for an order
to compel the Church to allow his burial,
which was granted November %, 1874.
On the I'd Of last September an attempt was
made to execute the order, but fearful
riot ensued, and the burial had to be post
poned. This controversy attracted the at
tention of the entire religious world, and
furnished the basis Of many newspaper
article. The central figures of attraction in
the Protestant Christian world have
been the two great revivalisb who wrough.

that the efforts TO this end. being made by the
friends of reform within party lines, viii be
crowned with success, and that the just eypecta-
tons of the people may not be doomed 10 disap-
pointment Indeed. are confident that if all
those ofour feilow-citiZens who in their hearts
agree with what we have said, will only take the
courage openly to proclaim their convictions and
purposes, such manifestation alone would pro-
duce an effect sufficient TO secure nominations,
and an election inaugurating better order of
things.
= Ne, therefore, appeal 70 all good citizens who
find their own sentiments expressed IN TINS ad-
DRESS be they inside or outside OF party lines. 10
organize in their respective districts and comElu
nicate with the Executive Committee appointed
bv this meeting, so that efficient cooperation may
become possible. Let no effort be spared IN bring
ing the influence of patriotic pubic opinion TO
bear upon those who, in the customary way, are
soon TO nominate the party candidates; ana then
in any event let Us be ready TO 90 what the pest
terests of the Republic demand. Our generation
has to Open the second century ofour National life
as the fathers opened the first Theirs was the
work of independence. Ours Is the Work OF re-

William H. Hunt a prominent and
wealthy lawyer OF New Orleans, was mar.
ried in January, 1866, to Mrs. Sarah B
Harrison beautiful widow, daughter of
the late Jacob Barker, the we'll known
New Orleans banker Mr.. Hunt was
widower with seven children. He says
that on the day after the marriage she
expressed regret at the step she had
taken, and told him she had been
foolish to give up her independence,
and in few days alter she
gave ulterance to disappointment at
the establishment TO which she had
come, and her sense Of being burdeBed
with tha cares Of household and family.
though she had long known intimately

until in February, 1869, she made a
written request to him that she might 90

She replied, begging to be allowed to re-
turn, and took the 6rst steamer home
ward. She came as far as New York
and has since resided here. In March a
special law as to divorce was passed by
tie Louisiana Legislature, which it is
charged Hunt procured, supposing it
provided for his case, and on the 7th of
April petitioned for divorce. But this
law, it is claimed on her side, was re-
pealed the same month in the general re.
vision Of the code, and that, at any rate it
did not authorize divorce for misconduct
aniecedent to its passage, and il assumed
to do so it was retractive law, aud
void under the Constitution Of Louisiana,
and void under the Federal Constitution

remain man and wife, permanently de

established by the testimony, is of such a
nature as to render bis living with her
insupportable." "

ried again 10 New Orleans, and the fol-
lowing July the divorced wife, who by
advice of counsel here had not appeared
