Decision by Judge Larremore in the
Kinney Divorce Suit.
ENCOURAGING TO POOR sUIToRS.
Heavy Claim for Removing the Embargo
on a Cuban Estate.

In the divorce suit brought by William 0. Kinzey
against Adelaide Knzey-wnich Is an action to unnuI
The marriage on the ground OF alleged fraudulent
representations and the at the time OF such
marriage and OF The commencement OF the suit Mrs.
Kinzeys former husband, willard lde, was aiive--a
motion mado on her behalf for alimony and counsel
fee was time ago denied at SPECIAL Term OF the
Court OF Common Picas. Mrs. Kinney appealed and
the General Term has just affirmed the
order OF the Court below. Judge Larre-
moro writes the opinion of tho Court
After stating the facts OF the case in which 1t
appears side that Mr.. lde had abandoned
the defendant in 1859. ana that she had never heard
from him since that she had told Mr.. Kinney OF tho
circumstance and that he entered into the marriage
with full Knowledge II the fact and the other side
that the plaintiff had allowed the defendant $50 week
for her support, and that he was willing continue
such payment during tho pendency OF The action Judge
Lsrremorc goes say that 'hc validity OF defend
ants second marriage upon provision OF the
Statutes that II any person whose husband or vile
shall have absentei himself tor the space OF i've
rcssve years without being known TO be living during
that time snail marry, such marriage shall be VOID
pc,ent jurisdictlon.' . The judge below held that
''beliet tho doath' her first husband
essential to the vaid.ty OF hor second marriage.
The argued that the want knowledge OF her
former husband bong alive the statutory of
validity. Juoge Larremore on this point says III Is
obvious that the statutory phrase being Known
Plies aud includes not only the things KNOWN but also
that which may be known" ''fhc decision
piained Of he continues, s susceptible Of this
strucon, that II the defendant had belief that could
anu would have ripened into knowledge OF her
former husbaud's existence during the i've years
meiiaeiy preceding her second marriage, II was bad
lah Oh her part To enter into that relation without
employing some means TO ascertain fact
essential to It's validity. The statute whose
probation she INVOICES offers premium for
ignorance or waEt OF ordinary precaution.
The afidnvit ol Anson Ii. Brown shows that IN the
year 1874 SAID lue lived with his father at Railway,
n. D., wnerc defendants daughter formerly resided
ana her mother visited her And although this place
was OF convenient aud easy access set Information
sought nor inquiry made ~ tho place. and from the
persons, where the knowledge, II desired, was most
likely ~ be obtaiued. The whole transaction Ger
taniy questionable" In conclusion, Judge Larre.
more holds that amony Will not be allowed unless
the existence OF the marital relation be proven to the
Satisfaction vi the Court tor rig aiimouy
pends upon that relation. The ordor is therefore

New Orleans Politics.

Can the New Orleans Democrat
Inform us why it is that the names of
none of the gentlemen known in 9TH
or parts of the State are TO be found
among those of the officers of the
Central and ward clubs of that city i?
Search as we may, we cannot find the
names Of the men who are known in
this section of the State as gentlemen
of probity and political integrity and
the question irresistibly forces itself
upon our mind, as it true, as We
hear complained, that guttersnipes
and rougbs have taken possession Of
and are running the political machinery
~ of the Democratic party in the city,"
1t is not only true that the officers Of
the Democratic city clubs are stran-
gers to Us, but gentleman who has
resided in this city and been engaged
in active business there for the last
thirteen years, and who still lives
there, informs US that they are all,
with one single exception, men with
whom he is not personally acquainted,
and with whom he has no desire to
become acquainted.
We further learn that the men who
are now most prominently before the
people for some OF the most important
Offices of the parish of Orleans belong
to the worst element of society in the
city that they are from the very
dregs Of city society, some of them
even being accused of being criminals.
These are very discouraging reports
to those who are so anxious for reform,
retrenchment and honesty in Office
and if true, it is time the good people
Of New Orleans were bestirring them
selves to rescue their government
from The hands of such characterIess
men.
What does the Democrat say? Is
this statement true or false

The Convention Question.

The first argument we have seen In
opposition to the constitutional con.
vention is an editorial in the Union
Record of July 9Th 4; and we do not
consider it a good one. The Record
assumes that the new Constitution
would be Objectionable Is tie coioretI
voters per Sc There Is no reason
why it should be Objectionable to anv
reasonable and intelligent person, if
it is framed by honest, intelligent and
patriotic nen. 1t certainly could
SCARCELY be more Objectionable to any
class of persons than the present one
Is to the best class Of our citizens, for
1t would he bard to frame one that
could he. We are tired hearing our
people talk about deferring to the
whims of unreasonable creatures to
the detriment Of the public good.
The Record considers the advOca.
cy Of the Convention more a matter
Of sentiment than argument. Senti-
meut is very good thing to be guided
by, If matter of fixed principle and
conviction of public will is meant
But we think there are many very
strong arguments in favor of the Con
ventiOn, one of which, however, Is
sufficient for us; aud that is, that the
present constitution is not fit for q
free people to live under. and all the
amending and patching that can be
done to it will never make it fit.
1t is much better to prevent disgust
and discomfort in our own ranks than
TO cater to the unreasonable whims of
those Who do not belong in our ranks,
in order to try to catch few Radical
votes. 1t is a well-known fact that
disgust and want of confidence, caused
by failure to carry out pledges made
by oir party, has caused some of the
best men in New Orleans to organize
a third party, in the hope of obtain
ing the relief which the Democrats
should have afforded; and there is
danger of their example being followed
all over the State.
