QUEEN VICTORIA, says the New York
World, has been made great. grand-
mother before the sixtieth anniversary
of her birth. This is rather unusual,
even among early-marrying sovereigns;
but it is quite possible that the Empress
Of Russia. now forty-two and with a
granddaughter more than five years
old. may be great grandmother before
she is tifty-fve. And how remarkably
commonplace is the fact when contrasted
with the case Of Mary Cooper Of King s
Bromley, Staffordshire, or "the noble
matron of the family Of Dolburges, in
the archbishopfic of Mentz." either of
whom could say to her daughter
Daughter, bid thy daughter tell her

there are currents leading through the

WASHINGTON. Jan. EN- the Senate
yesterday Mr.. Bsyard spoke on the bill
reported oy him from the Judiciary
Committee, relating TO iuri,s and the
repeal of sections sol, SO and ST. of
the Revised Statutes. He quoted from
Hamilton's writings TO show that the
theory of tue veto power was to confer
on the President the power to protect
himself and to prevent the passage of
bad laws either through haste. inadver-
tepce or design. The bills recently We.
toed were not SO passed. They repre-
sent the sober second Thought of the
American people. in whose deliberate
Judgment the reforms contained in them
should be made. and the people would

their works. Mr.. Baysrd remarked
that the same people who elected the
Democratic majority also elected =

opinion Of every Democrat, and they
rested their hope in the belief thai.

the American people will be called TO

IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

At the recent term OF the District
Court in Walla Walla. Judge Wingard
rendered Q decision Of much interest
and importance. 1t was in the case Of
Hawley. Dodd 4 Co. vs.. Kenoyer
Brothers. The Ksnoyers had received
from Hswley, Dodd s. Co. large
amount Of machinery. and had exc
cuted therefor what Is known as IRON
Glad" notes. Upon demurrer to the
complaint the questions Of Law involved
were duly argued by the counsel for
the respective litigants. The decision
ftbe Court sustained the demurrer.
II was held that there was NO consider
alton for the notes. and to the defend
ants judgment was given for costs.
TIE decision affects . large number Of
contracts in the eastern half Of the
Territory; virtually maintaining that
machinery disposed of as this was was
not really sold. and that Hawley. Dodd
& Co., or whoever the owners may have
been. can rspossess themselves of their
property with reasonable allowance for
ito use. but that they cannot force pay
ment for il and still retain title.
Another, and quite rs important, de-
cision was one rendered by Judge
Grssne 1t Lscouner. few days since.
The question that came before him was
whether . marriage entered into be-
tween parties in the presence Of wit
ussses. but without ceremony by civil
officer, clergyman or other competent
person. WAS . valid marriage. The
Court held that under cur law. from
the beginning Of our Territorial exist
sncs to the present time. such mar.
risges are valid when between persons
other than those between whom mar
riage has been prohibited by law.
From Jsnusry, 1866, to January. 1868.
marriages between white persons and
persons of one-half or more Indian or
negro blood. whether solemnized by
officers or not. wero unlawful. A mar
riage contract entered into by compe.
tent persons, and contaminated by CO.
habitation, constitutes valid marriage.
Mere CONSULTATION Of one person with
another. though both are manageable
persons, does not constitute marriage.

the CHILEAN PERUVIAN NAVAL BATTLE.

Particulars by mail have been re-.
csivsd Of the recent battle off the port
Of Iquique between the naval squad
rons of Chile and Peru. 1t now seems
that the Peruvian iron ships Huascar
and Independence were blockaded in
the port by superior feet of Chilean
ships, and that the Inhabitants Of the
town had been rejecting rather severe
ly upon the spirit or influence that in
duced their commanders to remain shut
in by the enemy without making often
sive effort. Finally. the stronger part
Of the Chilean feet went south, leaving
only the wooden corvettes Esmeralda
ands Covodeaga OF the port. Driven
BY the tauuts Of the townspsoplc, and
taking advantage of the supposed
weakness Of the enemy, the Peruvians
rot up steam aud sailed out. They
opened the battle with gun and ram.
and the attacked ones made the best
defense Of which they we're capable
The inequalities Of the combat were
evident from the first. but the officers
in command Of the wooden vessels did
not hesitate. They accepted battle, and
with creditable result. The fighting
was OF the most desperate character.
In the early part Of the engagement
tho Independence did severe work
against the wooden sides Of her antago-
nists. but ths Chileans handled their
gunboats in such way that the weak
parts Of their suemy's vessels were
always exposed to the Ere of one or
the other Of their ships. One Of the
Chilean vessels WAS sunk in action and
tho Independents and another Chilean
boat went down coon after. How
many men were lost we have no in.
information. but we presume that the
greater part were saved by tho Huas-
car. which seems TO have left all the
fighting to its consort. the Indcpen.
dencis.
