The most interesting ceremony In which
n man can engage Is that Of his marriage.
The customs Of society clothe matrimonial
compacts with exceptional dignity. Great
churches are decorated with flowers on the
occasion of a wedding, and their choirs
gather to sing joyful anthems over the
happy pair.
If the groom Is rich and able to pay for
the display. he may secure even a bishop to
tie the knot but supplemented people
who have matrimony in view are content to
take an ordinary clergyman, who can marry
them just ms legally and just as firmly as
his ecclesiastical superior
But groom who respects his bride, and
feels a due sense Of the dignity of the mar
riage ceremonial, wishes TO array himself in
garments suitable to 50 august an occasion
H. that on which he takes woman for his
wife.
A correspondent asks US what is the proper

say to the parsimonious Antiquary when
he Is cheapcning her wares, and the re-
mark s capable Of wide application. The
coal for our fires is purchased not with
money and labor only, but with the annual
sacrifice of some hundreds Of miners who
are choked, burned, drowned or crushed to
death. The garments we wear are woven by
machinery which is constantly grinding up
or tearing to pieces its quota OF victims.
Our railroad and steamer transportation
Involves death by explosion, collision, bridge
breaking and similar casualties, to an OK
tent which In the aggregate Is frightful.
And even so comparatively safe business
as the building of houses H. as we have
seen, attended at times by a painful loss Of
life.
Nor should the herolsm Of these sufferers
by accidents DO deprecated because II Il
unaccompanicd by the pomp and circum-
stance Of war. The poor miner, or brake
man. or machinst. or brcklayer, Is often
fully as conscious OF the risk he runs and
takes 1t from as high motive, az the sol
der. He Is aware that carelessness or
neglect OF duty by men over whom he has
no control may at any moment hurl him to
destruction, but he has a wife and children
at home who look to him for support and
he goes bravcly 10 work. He knows that
on such daya comrade was killed; on such
another, one was crippled for lifc and he
has only too good reason for expecting that
his turn may come next. But like the SOL
der he docs not shirk his duty because of
the danger it involves, and, like the soldier,
too, he I'm most cases escapes unframed.
Unlike the soldier, however, he gets no
credit for his bravery, and few suppose
that he has any.
In view Of the efforts now so sedulously
making in certain quarters, TO represent
the laboring people VI the country as mere
vermin for the repression and destruction
Of whom, whenever they make themselves
troublesome, a mcrcenary soldicry should
be created II may be as well for us to
bear In mind that the men who work for
wages possess qualities worthy OF admira-
ton as well as those who fight for wages (;
and that II, as 1t Is said, we can only escape
the domination Of the one class by calling
to our assistance the other. 1t may be as
we'll to choose submission to the men who
work. They, at least, are Industrious and
useful members Of society, and have inter-
csts in common with all peaceable citizens,
whereas an army OF hirelings are the
natural antagonists OF all the rest. We
believe that such q choice Ia not necessary
and that our workingmen will never be
dangerous to the public welfare but even
If they should take arms, as is threatened
by certain silly politicians, We may better
trust them than the soldiery by whom it il
proposed to subdue them.

the express purpose Of becoming President.
OCoNNoR had served out the term Of his
punishment, and owed nothing to the law OF
Ohio. His offence was merely larceny Of
money. The offence of HAYES is the larceny
Of the greatest Office and the highest honors
that the United States are able to confer.
Altogether we may regard it as certain that
in history O'CoNNoR will occupy a position
that will be entirely enviablc compared to
that which the impartial justice OF the fu-
ture must assign to HAYES. Finally, when
O'CoNNoRs seat was declared vacant by the
Legislature of Ohio, no public disturbance
ensued in that locality; and so when the
Congress OF the United. States shall declare
that HAYES has no right to remain in the
White House and must vacatc his fraudu-
lently acquired Office, the whole people will
recognize the justice of the Judgment, and
tranquility and prosperity will follow upon
such publication.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Utlca
Republican, which. by the way. is one OF the
ablest and faircst journals In the state, de-
clales itself i'm favor of investigating tho
alleged electoral frauds; yet at the same
time. IL falls into some errors of fact which
,hould be corrected. We quote from the
columns Of the Republican:
ITO show that frauds the election in Florida
md Louisiana would amount to nothing unless 1t can he
hown that President HAYES was implicated in them. In

HAYrs, removal, in legitimate way, have not the
tast objection
Our contemporary Is mistaken, we think,
In the impression that Impeachment is the
only means by which the Fraudulent Prcsi-
dent can be legally removed from the Office
which he occupies without any valid right.
There is no doubt, we believe, that as Presi-
dent de fdcto he is liable to impeachment on
account OF his share in the frauds in Florida
md Louisiana; and the fact that he has re-
warded the agents through whom those
frauds were manipulated and promoted,
affords evidence that would convince any
jury OF his guilt. But impeachment is not
the only remedy that may he applied. The
truth is that In legal and constitutional
sense he is not President at all. He has
never been constltutionally declared elected
by Congress. In fact, one of the Houses
of Congress declared solemnly and positively
that he was not elected. The electoral votes
were never examined and counted by Con.
gress as the Constitution contemplates. II
Is true the unconstitutional Electoral Com
mission refused to examine into them, and
in obedience to partisan passion and in ac
cordance with the wishes of the Pacific Rail
road Rings, said that he had been elected
but the utterance OF that Commission, itsell
null and void. is likewise null and void and
Of no binding force whatever.
As soon as Congress has obtained com
plete and conclusive evidence determining
whether the electoral votes Of Florida anC
Louisiana belong to Mr.. HAYES or to Mr.
TILDEN, and settling all doubt az to which
one OF these two candidates was really
elected President, this conclusion should b,
followed by an immediate declaration o
Congress, according TO the Constitution
proclaiming the election OF the successful
candidate II it should be proved that Mr.
HAYES was really elected, then he can re
main where he is, and the people will &c
quiesce therein; but If it should be provoC
that it was Mr.. TILDEN. then HAYES vii
depart, and there Is little probability Of his
waiting for any formality Of Impeachment

armed with modern breechloadcrs, marked
"U. s." Thus, while HAYES seeks to hold
Mexico responsible for raids into Texas by
Mexican Indians, American Indians, escap-
ing from the shadow of his own forts, rob
and kill with impunity in Mexico. This let
ter said:
"rdo not believe the Mexican Indians have KILLED ~
many people In Texas In three years As the American
Apachcs have murdered IN Sonora In the past months
II they want justice IN Texas 1t is also wanted IN sonora

It Is with triple series Of raids upon the
neghboring republic-raids Of reservation
Indians, raids Of revolutionsts, raids of
rcgulars-that HAYES keeps his recent
pledges Of justice friendship, and due re-
gard for Mcxico's dignity and rights.

have been perfectly regular, hut he had not

that he had been tried, convicted, incarcc-

sentence. The case having been duly invcs-
tigatcd, these circumstances were all estab-
li-hod; aud after protracted consideration
of the subject, although he had boon guilty

vote Of CO to 10, to declare his scat vacant.
and accordingly, without waiting for formal
Impeachment, or making any resistance, he

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

Sioux Falls Paragraph Aug. IA.
Carl Anderson, living on Beaver creek,
northeast of Sioux Falls, was killed by
lightning last Thursday night. He was
standing holding something against n of
the windows in his house, to keep it from
blowing in, the fastening being broken,
when the lightning struck down through
the gable of lii house. killing him instantly.
He leaves a wife and one child. His death
is sincely regretted by a large number Of
friends among all classes, not only in his
own neighborhood, but also in Sioux Falls,
where he was known to most Of cur business
men as an honest. temperate and industrious
man who met his obligations promptly and
who was a good citizen in every respect.
