The Department of state has published
spondence, covering fourteen hundred . iges,
IN which there is not a despatch or paper Of
public interest relating to current events. One
half Of tins matter Ia made up OF ceremonlous
details and extracts from foreign newspapers,
without a particle OF value TO anybody. and
which only serve TO make up worthless books AZ
large co I.
All the correspondence connected with the
Centennial celebration, and needed for a per-
feet understanding Of the subject bV Congress,
was deliberately suppressed last year, and Is
withheld now. There IL no light thrown on the
negotiations with Spain 10 regard TO Cuba. The
Samoan expedition " ignored entirely, and so
with every other subject OF present moment.
In England the Blue look Of diplomatic cor
respondence Is made up by calls for informa-
tion, and nothing ia published without tue ex-
press authority OF Parliament. Hence the de-
50 ltches and other papers which are printed
always have positive value and satisfy q want
that could not otherwise be gratned. Here,
the nrst object seems to be 10 make huge vol
ume and TO parade correspondence In which
every point OF public concern Is represented by
blanks, astersks, or suppression. This service
Ia performed by clerks without any capacity
for such work, even " they were not restricted

The divorce and rc-mar riagc Of CHARLES
II. VAN BRUNT are the topics of the town
talk. The general sentiment Of the bar
and the public appears to iun very strong
~ against the Judge. Doubts are ex-
pressed whether he will be able to stem
It's fierce flood. impeachment and re-
moval are freely threatened, and we
should not be surprised to see articles re-
ported within few days
There was n scandalous divorce, and II

marriage OF THOMAS {. FIELDS when he
was IN the Legislature, and no official
notice was ever taken OF either; but then,
1t may bo urged, to be member OF Assem-
bly,, and to he "A Judge on the bench, are
two very different things.
The decree OF divorce which separated
Judge VAN BRUNT from his wife provided
that 1t shall not be lawful for tire said
defendant, CHARLES ii. VAN BRUNT to
marry again until said plaintiff Is actually
dead" Said plaintiff was his wife, AMELIA
@. VAN BRuNT and she IL not actually
dead. Therefore, according TO the author
ity and decree of the Supreme Court which
granted this divorce, IL IL not lawful for
the said CHARLES ii. VAN BRUNT to marry
again; yet, in open defiance and shame ess
contempt Of the terms Of this very decree,
Judge VAN BRuNT Is publicly living and
cohabiting with another woman In this
city, holding her out To others and treat
ing her himself rs his wife, acts which, ao-
cOrding to our judicial decisions, are sum
cient OF themselves to constitute marriage,
on TO prove marriage contract.
This decree is all that protected him from
criminal proceedings in England. But for
1t, his second marriage, in England. would
be bignmous. Yet while he uses the de-
cree to shield him on the one hand and to
protect him against criminal pr oseoution,
he tramples it dehantly under foot when
II stands in the way OF his passions or his
pleasures; and Haunting his ermine In the
