THE self-negation of Leon Gambetta, in
not presenting himself as candidate for the
Presidency of the French, in the not very
probable event of Marshal MacMa Mahon's dis
missal or resignation, has been highly COM
mended. Not long ago he was almost sat
daggers drawn' with M. Theirs, whom he
now describes as venerable and patriotic, p
and has expressly named him as the most
proper person to govern France should it
become necessary to place MacMahon on the
SHELF One triaing circumstance in con-
nection with this may be worthy of notice.
The Constitution of 1875, under which
France is governed now, contains an express
proviso that "no person under forty years of
age shall be eligible as candidate for the
Presidency of the French Republics .
Marshal MacMahon was sixty-fve in 1878,
when he was elected. Adolphe Thiers was
eighty on the 10th of last April. Leon
Gambetta, born on October 80, 1888, will not
be forty until next year, and will be ineligible
until then. Consequently, he does not
deserve any marked commendation for his
forbearance, seeing that his own candidature
is legally and constitutionally impossible,
until the end of October, 1878, and that it
would be polite stroke, in the event of a
change, to place in the highest Office of the
Republic such an aged man as Theirs, who
would remain in it until Gambetta has him.
self become eligible. At the same time,
Gambetta's patriotism and ability are not
doubted-neither is his ambition. Apparent
ly, he has brilliant career before him as the
recognized leader of Republicanism in

THERE is but little doubt that the remark
able platform laid down by J. W. Daniel will
secure for that gentleman the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Virginia. His
"position'' is on the grand opportunity lost
by misguided 'North" at the close of the
war, when Robert E. Lee and Joseph E
Johnston were out of job, and the former
eligible to the office of Minister to England,
and the latter to seat in the Cabinet. The
failure to make these appointments has filled
this Daniel with longing for the Guberna.o.
rial chair OF his State, ''for it is not too late to
mend," he explains, though he neglects to
suggest exactly the method by which Mr.. Lee
is now to be induced to accept the appoint
ment as Mr.. Pierrepont's successor, or how
he proposes to alter the misfortunes of Mr..
Johnston.

The Mexican Scheme.

The remarks of Senator Blaine at Wood
stock Thursday have called general attention
to the scheme of Mexican annexation which
is entertained and cautiously pressed by the
leading spirits of the South. The rumors
regarding Intervention by our government in
the internal affairs of the Mexican republic
and the assumption of protectorate by us
over that country have been thought to be
the invention of sensational correspondents
who, in the usual dearth of summer news,
make fancies do duty for facts. But recent
developments go TO show that the correspon-
dents are indebted to something more than
Imagination for the accounts of contemplated
interference in Mexican affairs which they
have given.
1t is well to bear in mind that the Southern
leaders are accomplished politicians, long used
to govern, and expert in all the methods by
which power may be got and retained. They
ruled this land for seventy years, and then
made blunder which lost them their suprem-
acy. From the usual consequences of a mis-
take like that they were enabled to escape by
the unexampled magnanimity of the North
ern people. Taking advantage of the generosity
they have reconstructed themselves, and now
possess more than their old strength. But
the strength of the North has increased in
larger proportion, and the South, in order to
regain its former supremacy, must make very
considerable material gains in territory and
population. 1t naturally turns its attention
to the Mexican frontier, where it has gained
much plunder before, and proposes to repeat
the brigand expedition of 1916. Apparently
it counts upon the desire of Mr.. Evarts to
distinguish himself by brilliant" foreign
policy, and upon some sentimental belief of
the Administration that war of aggression
upon our neighbors would make us forever
forget OUR family troubles, for aid in the sue.
cess of its scheme. But the country recog-
nizes larger necessities than the success Of
Mr.. Evarts as cabinet officer, and the ad-
ministration will not be so unwise as to plunge
the country into costly and useless war
merely to prove the truth of theory which
Is not worth the demonstration. It is, how
ever, well for our rulers to remember that in
suits to even weak nation may be carried
too far, and that the temper of a Mexican
Greaser even is capable of receiving proyoca-
ton.

Mr.. ADAMS, the Democratic Clerk of tie
Forty-Fourth House, has arranged the roll of
the Forty-fifth so as to give Democratic
majority of eighteen. There are seven seats
contested, and these Clerk Adams in the
goodness of his heart, has not given bodily to
the Democrats, though he has refused in sew
eral cases TO recognize the Governors certif-
Gates held by the Republican contestants,
while at the same time placing Democratic
members upon toe roll whose title to their
seats is based upon certificates issued to them
by the same Governors. If the Democratic
majority of the next House, be the same
eighteen or eight in excess of the Republican
membership, have spark of fairness about
them, they will lose no time in convincing
Clerk Adams that it is no part of his duties
to manipulate the roll for partisan purposes.

preparation. Marriage is both con-
tract and sacrament. Marriage was
instituted by God himself when de
made the first man and woman and
blessed their union, saying, increase
and multiply.-(Genesis l-28.) In the
Gospel dispensatiOD, marriage was
raised to the dignity OF sacrament, and
now between Christians where the natu-
ral contract exists, the sacrament
necessarily exists. Hence the
Catholic Church has 1T all times regard
ed marriage Us something most holy.
Hence, also, her teaching on the indlsol-
utility of marriage as regards the ri"-
cuLuns or bond. In her idea the words
pronounced by the parties when beng
married are literally and strictly true
"Until death do US part"
Hence, also, her uniform and inexora-
BILE opposition to divorce. She does not
question the RICH. of the civil gov
eminent to legisste in regard to sue
cessions, inheritance, tenure of property,
&c. in the married state, but she has
never recognized the right of gov.
ernmerts in the matter OF divorces,
| viucuIo, or over the sacrament as a
divine institution. This nature of the
contract and sacrament naturally leads
to the consideration of this disposition
| and of the preparations necessary for en-
tering into this contract and reception OF
this sacrament. To receive the sacrament
the state of grace or exemption from sln
is an essential disposition. The prepare
ton should consist, first, in great care.
