The remains of that eminent citizen of New
Orleans, Alexander Graihle, who died not
long ago in Paris, will arrive to-day in this
city, by the ship Nuremberg.
The reception and obsequies Of the lamented
gentleman will afford the large body Of his
old friends an opportunity of reviving the
memory Of his virtues and of testifying their
affectionate regard and respect for him.
Alexander Graihle was model of the French
gentleman, a prear cheualier In every sense
of the term, accomplished and dignified,
true and brave, fine scholar, profound
jurist, an ardent patriot, an estimable citizen
circumspect and scrupulous in all the rela-
tions Of life.
During our civil war he bore a prominent
part in the maintenance Of the honor and
character Of his adopted State. Though a
native OF France, 1t is in conformity, we doubt
not, to his own will and desire that his body
has been brought to this country to be depos-
tied In the cemetery which incloses the re-
mains of so many dear relatives and friends.
His manhood and it had been one of brilliant
triumphs- had been spent In New Orleans.
Here the friends and associates Of his youth
and manhood should have the mournful SOL
ace OF paying the last honors and tokens Of
respect and affection due to fidelity, generous
and knightly bearing and rectitude in all the
relations of life.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-12-16

The observations of our correspondent
ssBrut,is" on the license system are unan-
swerable. The system Is relic of semi-civil-
ization, and should be abolished. But before
that can be done in this city some practical
general plan Of reform and relief must be
proposed and adopted. AS matters now
stand we do not see how the City Council
could have avoided the imposition Of the
licenses. The licenses yield the city reve-
nue. of upwards of 100000 per annum. Abol-
ish these and how will the deficit in the reve-
nues be met? We do not doubt that many
economical reforms may be instituted, but
time will be required to accomplish these ends
and in the meantime the expenses of the city
go on.
The inequalities in the license ordinance
adopted, OF which our correspondent COM
plains, is another matter. But we must con-
cede that the highest wisdom and most con-
scientious devotion to the public interest are
not equal to the task of working equal and
exact Justice under so intricate unjust and
oppressive q system of taxation.
The article of our friend, nevertheless, is
timely and valuable, as 1t will serve to arouse
the attention Of the public to vicious sys-
tenn of taxation which should be done away
with by some means, for it is an oppression
of the Industrious classes and q disgrace to
our civilization.

The Roe marriage case Is somewhat unique
In marital history. Mrs. Roe has already
been twice married to her husband, and, not
satisfied with this, Is trying to compel him
for the third time to marry her.
Four years ago she eloped with Rae, and
married him at New Haven, Catholic priest
officiating. He bolted year after the mar
rage repudiated it altogether, denied the
certificate, and declared the whole thing was
the creation Of her brain.
Here the trouble began. Ever since his de-
sertion Mrs. Roe has been seeking to regain
possession of her husband, while his family,
on the other hand, have been endeavoring to
protect hinh from her.
During this controversy she has been ar
rested no lelss than thirteen times for assault
ing him. Once she pulled him out of a
wagon by his coat tails, and insisted on kiss
ing him repeatedly in the presence of another
young lady tKhom he was about to marry
C1n~ Second occasion he grew SO alarmed
when he Saw her coming that he leaped from
the ond-story window, seriously injuring
himself To avoid any more rencontres of
this kind, he gave up his position in New
York and concealed himself somewhere in
New England.
"A few months after his departure, notice
of his wife's death appearing in the New
York Herald, Roe returned to New York in
JOY and delight He had no sooner appeared
ON the street than he was Mortified at encoun-
tering his wife, whom he had supposed dead.
She carried him off prisoner, and compelled
him to marry her second time. This time
an Episcopal minister presided, out of re-
spect to Roe's family, who are of this religion.
The unfortunate man escaped upon his second
wedding night by means of a rope ladder,
and again fled from New York.
His persistent wife found him out again
few days ago and had him arrested; and it is
this. case, even now going on in New York,
that Is amusing that city. Mrs. Roe ap-
peared as her own counsel and argued the
case herself. In the very midst of it, how
ever, and before the Judge could render
decision, it was discovered that Roe had for
feitad his bonds, bottled, and was no more to
be found.
He confided to friend before he left that
he would never return; that he dared not
face his wife and would much prefer suicide
Mrs. Roe has not given up the hope of get
ting her truant husband back; she has her
wedding trousseau prepared in that event,
land the very moment that the delinquent
husband is found she will insist upon third
|marriage-by Quaker this time, we suppose.
It is not every woman that enjoys, like Mrs.
Roe, the happiness OF being married several
hmas to the same man, and of going on as
many honeymoons with him. Mrs. Roe thinks
Ehat il she is married few more times to
Roe. nobody will feel inclined to doubt in the
least the legality Of her marriage.
