Matrimonial Difficulties.

Mrs. VIM. III. Patchett brought suit
against her husband, before Esquire
Hagany, yesterday afternoon, on q
charge of assault and battery and threa-
tening bodily harm. Mr.. Patchett plead
guilty to the charge of assault, and was
required to pay S5 and costs and give
bail in the sum of 500 to keep tho peace.
In the the evening two other suits
growing out of Mr. and Mrs. Patchett's
matrimonial relations were heard and
determined. 1t appears that when Mrs.
Patohett married her present husband
she was widow with two children For
awhile they got along very pleasantly,
but she claims that his affections have
been alienated by the influence of other
women. The therefore sued Robt III.
Scarborough, who keeps a boarding
house on Third street, below Pine, for
harboring her husband, but as Scar
borough claimed that he had right to
keep man al long as he paid his board,
without inquiring into his domestic re-
lations, the case was dimissed.
She also sued one Major Smith, on a
charge of enticing her husband away
from his home, but this case was also dis
missed.
Several witnesses, including some wo-
men, were present at the hearing, and
the discussion at times WAS lively and in
teresting.

Letter from Samuel Townsend

Mr.. EDIToR:-I see the noted so called
rules for the Democratic party, published
in your paper day before yesterday. You
will please, in your next, publish the
resolution of the Democratic party to
submit rules to a vote by ballot of the
party of this county for adoption or re-
lection, and they were all rejected, there
fore null and void. But, when bogus
delegates met without authority, they
attempted to put the code you published
on the party, and even these unauthorz-
ed bogus delegates failed to pass the
most obnoxious 4th rule, that proposes
to redistrict the county. This 4th rule
only received % votes out of60. therefore
it did not pass even if the Delegates had
had the power which thew had not, as
the Democratic party at u regular cleo
ton called for the purpose to decide by
ballot whether said rules should govern
the party, cast majority of votes
against said rules, and therefore they are
dead and buried, and as to the 4th rule
after the unauthorized delegates attempt
to resurrect 1t failed to get majority of
the whole number of those unauthorized
delegates. 1 hold document of proof
that it only got % votes out of 60.

Sending LOtteryl Circulars by

Court to-day to bring up the case of A.
o. jackson, indicted for sending lottery
circulars through the mails, for review.
The defense is rested on the plea that
the act of Congress under which the in
dictments was drawn is unconstitutional,
and that all mail matter properly stamp
ed must be forwarded. 1t is argued that
that States may permit lotteries, and if
they do the business is legitimate and
Congress cannot exclude correspondence
in relation to it. The Attorney General

l should think every christian, or

thank you for your editorial condemna-
ton of IDgersolPs address and audience.
When the mostsacred ties which bind
society together are thus torn away by
the scorner, we can scarce be surprised
that the daily catalogue of crime is 80
great for such teachings are destructive
of all that is sacred in religion, and en-
dearing in society. But one stands
aghast to sec those who profess and call
themselves christians, willing to pay
for seats IN order that they may listen
to man blaspheme, applaud and Ne
amused by it. The very blood curdles
with horror, for the wretched blasphemer
and his "refined intellectual audience"

tors of Rome, lave not half the evil ef-
fects as this pouring into the ears of the

Mr. Calkins-Did the gentleman cover

Mr.. Williams, (rep) of VISIT you
thought that members should have 81 800
year why did you afterwards move to
cot down their salary to $4,000? Did the
people demand that?
Mr.. Kandall-I did not propose to cut
down the compensation to 81 900. The
committee recommended $4,000, ana |
took the ground that the people had con-
demned the increase of salaries aud that
10 was not consistent for members to be
cutting down the compensation of other
people and letting their own stand.
Mr.. Williams-Why do you not pro-
pose to cut it down now?
AIr. Randall-Whenever the gentleman
makes a proposition TO cut it down l
will be found with him.
Mr.. Williams-Why do not your COM
mittee do it before you lecture us on

the number of employees than in cutting
down salaries. l believe that if the law
was adhered to in the departments IN re-

work the force could be reduced twenty

meeting was held at the old foundry tent,
last evening, over which Geo. w. Day

and Major Geo. w. Wells addressed a
large temperance meeting at Oxford,
Chester county, Pa. Theo. X. Stubbs,
ESD, presided and in few appropriate
remarks referred to the Wilmington work
as being the most thorough and success
ful temperance work in the entire coun-
try. Maj. Wells, the first speaker, drew
his argument from the word of God, and
made the truth cut like two edged
sword Mr.. butcher, is truly an orator
and is at home on either moral snasion
or prohibition, These gentlemen make
no compromise with the rum power and
deal with the question fearlessly and
boldly.
Their second meeting was held Sunday
afternoon in the NJ +. Church and was
presided over by Rev Mr.. Lawson of the
Presbyterian church. the pastor, Rev.
MIR. Sorin introduced the speakers. Quite
large audience was present The spea-
kers upon the occasion confined them

referring to Samuel Aaron of Norristown,
Pa, minister of the Baptist church, by

Privateering In Philadelphia.

'hiHj &'iaJ - 'o'os
The seems to he good ground for be-
heving that movement is on foot TO fit
out Russian privateer from this port.
Your correspondent is credibly informed
that certain residents of Philadelphia are
busily engaged in getting up a joint
stock company for the purpose of pur-
chasing a fast seagoIng steamship and
equipping and arming her as privateer
under the Russian flag. The shares in
this company are fixed at $4,000 each,
and the projectors anticipate little diff
Guilty in disposing of the requisite num-
Der. The vessel is to be commissioned
so 1t is said, under letter of marque,
which document has already arrived
The matter is being kept very quiet, but
that such an effort is in progress there
seems to be little doubt. 1t may be an
adroit swindle; but the impression is
gaming ground among those cognizant
of the project that it is started in good
faith, and that, should the necessary
funds be subscribed, Philadelphia will
send out privateer.
