Ben. Hill lived in Georgia IN Democratic
county, district and State, aud as he classed
politically with the Wing party, he could
not obtain office. He was member of the
Georgia Secession Convention, and it is diff
ficult to tell from his resolutions and
speeches, whether he was in favor Of seces-
sion or opposed. He was then Senator in
the Confederate Congress, and did not give
the Confederate authorities n cordial or
hearty support brandon Republican.
Our friend is mistaken in reference to
Mr.. Hills course in the Confederate
Senate. Though he had been politi-
cal opponent of Mr.. Davis, and had not
been an advocate of secession originally,
he gave to the Confederate administers
ton a perfectly loyal support. He adj
hered to it and stood by it to the last,
after many others whose antecedents had
been different, lost heart and courage,
fell by the wayside and betrayed the
cause in which they had been the first tc
enlist.

As an evidence Of the weakening of
the pretentions of the Republican leaders
on the Presidential questions, the Wash
ington correspondent (Mr. Nordhoff } of
the n Y. Herald, says:
A member of the Cabinet. in conversation
on the subject to-day, said to your CORES
pondent
"Looking at the future Of the Republican
party. / do not really believe that it will be
for its ultimate advantage that it should
continue in power under Mr.. Hayes. | do
not mean to say that Mr.. Hayes is not elect
ed, but the suspicion of non-election at
taches TO him and will attach to the Repuh-
lican party during the next four years. II
my opinion the severest blow that we could
deal the Dem ecratic party at the present
time would be to surrender our position
and allow Mr.. Tlden to be inaugurated."

The Presidents allusion to Ames ex.
hibits either his profound ignorance or
intense bigotry. The ex-governor of
Mississippi was worried to vacate the
office" by an impending impeachment
for high crimes and misdemeanors. He
compromised with the people whom he
had abused and robbed, and thus became
a " fugitive from the State" He might
have been a permanent resident-under
some restrictions of personal liberty-had
he chosen to stand his trial, but he very
properly considered discretion the bet
ter part of yalor," and was permitted to
take his carpet-bag and depart. Since
his departure Mississippi has entered up
on new career of peace and prosperity.

THE New York Herald says that
Gov. Hayes owes it to himself and the
country "to stop the circulation of the
story that an intrigue is on foot, with
Mr.. Hayes knowledge and consent, for
securing him the support of Southern
members of Congress, with an under
standing that he will indemnify them if
they lose the confidence of their constit-
ents." We should think that It is due
to themselves and their constituents that
the members who are implicated in these
damaging accusations should arrest them.
The Herald says that there "is reason to
suspect that the partizans of Gov. Hayes
are holding out this bait to Southern
Democrats. In order that the innocent
may not suffer, in public estimation,
with the guilty, the country should be
put in possession of names and tangible
facts.

WE will venture to remark that time
spent in discussing motions of adjourn
ment in advance of legislation, is time
thrown away. Adjournment regulates
itself. Whenever the public business
has been completed, the time for ad.
journment will have come, and resolutions
may be passed every day without chang
ing the natural order, or doing more than
consuming the time that is employed in
their consideration.

In Pennsylvania marriage is a civil
contract and requires no ceremony to
make it binding. Parties competent to
make contract may agree in presence
of witnesses to become man and wife,
and it is valid marriage; and it is held
by the courts that where parties live to-
gether as man and wife, and treat each
other as such before the community,
they will be so regarded by the law.
Drunkenness would not invalidate mar
riage contract unless the intoxicated
party should at the time be entirely I'M
conscious of the consequences ofhis acts.

In amending the election law, it would
be we'll for the Legislature to require res
dence of twelve months in the State, in
stead of six months, before voting. No
person should be invested with the privi-
lege of participating in the government of
the State and exercising a control in the
selection of those who are to make and
execute its laws except real bona file cit
liens. The privilege is too important to
be devolved upon temporary residents,
or mere interlopers and stragglers who
are here to day and elsewhere o-morrow.
