The Matrimonial Partnership In
France.

The wife who receives the least atteh-
ton in q drawing-room from man Is
his own, and she returns the compliment.
Hence 1t is that at time like this, when
people live for society and IN society,
there is no place for conjugal intimacy.
Moreover, when u married couple occu-
py an exalted position they are separ-
aied by custom and decorum. Each
party has his or her own household, or at
least their own apartments, servants,
equpage, receptions, distinct socioty,
ard as self parade entails ceremony,
thew stand toward each other in defer:
ence to their rank on the footing OF po.
lite strangers They are each announced
in each other quarters; they address each
other "M Msaame, Monsieur" and not alone
in public, bu. in private; they shrug their
shoulders when, sixty leagues on from
Paris, they encounter in some old chateau
a provincial wife ignorant enough to say
"my dear to her husband before compa-
nv. Already separated al the fire side, the
two lives iiverge beyond it at an ever IN
creasing radius. The husband mas gov

his private regiment, his post at court,

in his declining years does hiswite consent

this right the wife has her personal

,,xcHLAwIN THIS STATE.

In our telegraphic columns will be
f,und an account of the brutal murder
ofsmsn at Bsrboursyille, this State
b, his wife and her parapour. Great
excitement was caused by the facts conn.,
ing TO light, and subsequently, the mob
took the keys of the Jail from the keeper,
brou sht out the prisoners, and hung the
man. who made full confession) aad
would have treated the woman likewlse'

This thing of lynch laws being enforced
is getting too common in West Virginia
There have been three attempts recently
in the State two of which were success.uI)
TO take the laws in the hands Of the mob,
and visit summary vengeance upon OF
flanders These cases were those OF the
negro TALIAFERRo at Martinsburg; the
recent assault on murderers confined IN
the Charleston Jail, and this case at
Bsrboursville. In every instance the
cr,mes were atrocious, and the indigna-
,ion OF the people was most just. But
this system of lynching is assurediy =
bad one IN every way. In all well
ordered societies The greatest criminal
should be accorded fair trial, and the
Avs should be executed so promptly and
iearle,,iy that no guilty man should
escape. II this is not done'
i! should be corrected, but not by lynch
ing. For, not only do lynchers them
selves violate law, but they create very
bad impression abroad regarding the
state Of society among our people. The
idea i Il, once created That We in West
Virginia have no laws, or ii we have
thew are poorly carried out; that
81 any rate, they afford no
protection for lie or liberty,
and that we exist in such a chaotic state,
that We are little better than barbarians,
and need rigilantes and regulators to
punish the guilty. This thing is wrong.
II Injuries the State materially. The
crime in the case herein mentioned was
most horrible, but for the credit of all
parties, it would have been better to have
permitted the law to take It's course
Lynch law is itself atrocious, and should
at all times, b. condemned.

The Tines ON Fish's Note.

LONDON, January 23.-The Times, to-
day, reviews Secretary Fish's note on tho
Cuban circular to the European powers.
1t says the grounds Of complaint exclu-
sively refer to the United States and
Spain, and third parties cannot partici.
pate in the negotiations with any
prospect of international advan-
tage SPAN and the United States
must settle the differences for
themselves. The risk of loss, # either
resort TO force, is too serious 10 be rashly
incurred. 1t is possible, however, that
the European powers might help 10 pro-
mote q compromise, which, while saving
the honor OF Spain, would end the Cuban
difficulty.
The article, after quoting the
assertion Of the anti.Slavery Society
in their memorial TO Lord Der
by, that Spain is willing to grant Cubn
the rights of self.governing colony, on
condition that slavery be retained, points
to the contrast drawn by Fish between
the British colonial system and that
of Spain, and concludes as follows: "lt
the two governments are agreed with re.
gard to the end there should be little
difficulty in devIsing means. The slavery
question need occasion little controversy.

IMPEAtMnENr SATURDAY.

According to arrangement, Immediate
ly after the organization of the Senate rs
high Court "f Impeachment on Satur-
dsy, Manager STUARr proceeded to ad
dress the court for The prosecution in the
case Of Treasurer BURpETr.
He com'menced ty stating that his con-
nec.ion with the case WAS not of his own
choosing, but that he simply wished to
do his duty. The Managers were not, rs
Mr.. DAVENPORT of the counsel for the
defense had intimateo, animated with
any desire to persecute the gentlemen
charged with offences.
He then proceeded to reply to the
argument of Mr. DAVENPORT, dwelling
ST considerable extent upon the Treasur-
cr's political history. He did
not think that because gentleman
had held high political position ii afford
ed any reasons that he should not be
fully tired at this time. Manager
thought that in these later days, that was
something TO be regarded with grave
suspicion. since political positions had
come, as a rule, to be only the means Of
promoting corruption n office. He al
luded to Mr.. BURpETr's service in the
United States army during the war. and
claimed ,ha, they had not been such as
10 entitle him to any special considers-
ton, he having been nothing but a
qusrtermaster," and, said be, where was
the Quartermsster who came out Of the
army unsca,hed.r Mr.. STUART
dwelt at some length on this
point and his remarks created
considerable merriment. Indeed be
reasoned that Treasurer BURDETT's first
lessons in wrong doing were probably
learned while holding the "high and
honorable position Of fqlsrtermsster." He
contended that though the Treasurer had
been elected and reelected to Office by his
fellow citizens, to-day no gentleman Of
pure character in tn" State would like TO
see him elected TO Office again.
He reviewed the history of impesch-
ments in Virginia and this State, show
ing tha. in both States there had only
been single impeachment before this in
scentury. This showed the purity OF
Old Virginia's sons who had been con,
fded in by their State, and he wanted
West Virginia to show the same
spirit and remove from among her,
men who violated the confidence reposed
in them. He also expstiated at length
on this point claiming ths: no man in
the old State could have done sc.s which
he asserted had been proven in this case,
unless it might have been one who came
from the Qnsrtermssters Department.
He then said that he would get down
70 the law of the case. He referred TO
the remark Of the counsel for the defense,

Address Of Johu Bright and his Col.
leagues.

LONDON. January 23.-John Bright
and his colleagues in Parliament, Dixon
and Muntz, addressed their cons,ltueno
in Birmingham last night. Bright in
his speech passed over the question OF
the slave circular issued by the Admi-
ralty. The matter was not As ea'y as
supposed. He questioned however
whether It wa. necessary for the Govern
ment 10 meddle with it, He hoped they
would explain that that affair and ths
Suez canal purchase satisfactorily.
Bright confined himself almost entirely
TO replying TO Lord Dcrby's speech At
Edinburg. He attacked the Law Of
primogenture and monopolizatioa oi
land by few great land.bolders and
argued that possesors Of land SHOULD be
empowered 10 bequesth II as they please.
Referring 10 the future policy Of the lib
erals. he advocated assimilation Of county
70 borough franchise. He pointed "

that the prosecution declared the
court was peculiar, and not bound by
the technicalities Of the court
and jury system. He desired
to repeat the remark, and
quoted authority to show that of
fences over which courts of impeach-
ment had jurisdiction, were political,
and that these courts had greater privil-
iges and wider scope than any other;
that the questions which came before
them demanded this, and he insisted that
such . court should not entertain
technical objections. Where, he
asked twas the necessity that
a court which itself passed upon ques-
ton. should guard Its mind from actual
facts and circumstances that grew out of
of the case, when it was himself to judge
how much weight they were to have"
The manager then proceeded to dwell
upon the question raised by the defence
Of the right of the Senate to organize it
self as Court of Impeachment, there
being no statute to perfect the constitution
al provisions therefor. He claimed that
this question had not only been decided
in favor OF such right, but that the Con-
stitution itself gave ample authority for
it. He read from that instrument to
show that all the provisions contained
therein, in reference to the matter, were
full and complete; and also read from
Judge SIoKY's writings to prove that no
legislation was necessary under the Con-
stitution in cases of impeachment, and
he thought that the constant advancing
of technical objections, such as this,
placed the respondent in an unfavorable
position, inasmuch as it tended to show
that he was afraid of the court. He al
luded to the position of counsel for
the defense, tnat only high crimes
and misdemeanors were impeachable,
and contended that such offences as
gross immortality" "incompetency." and
"neglect of duty" were all impeachable
under the Constitution. During his dis
cussion of another point in Mr.. DAvEN-
PORTS speech, viz: That crimes to be
must be lndictable, the Sem
ate adjourned.
The honorable Manager will continue
his argument to-day.
