This following from the

BEs LETcHER.
An action has been begun 10 theSupreme
Court for the annulment Of the marriage Of
Capt. Thomas Blair to the widow OF Gen.
Gordon Granger. Her complaint by Elli-
Oft +. Shepard, her counsel, sets forth her
marriage with the Captain in the State OF
Kentucky; his previous and existing mar
ria2e with Annie Bailie, Of which she Erst
learned Vt the time of the court-martial
proceedings that she has not cohabited
with him since. and prays that her mar.
riage with the Captain may be declared
void ab iaitiO. Gen. Martin 4. Mcmahon
Is associated with Mr.. Shepard in the case.
Mrs. Granger, who was Miss Letcher Of
Kentucky, Is still stopping at the Sturte-
want Honse. Mr.. Shepharl saws that Capt.
Blair has told him that he will make no
opposition to the divorce proceedings,
which he considers just and inevitable,
and that there will he no difficulty or delay
in obtaining decree Of separation from
the courts. Mrs. Blair. Mr.. Shepard says,
had only this course 10 take. When the
first whisperings Of the scan DIAL came out
she turned 10 her husband, expressed her
perfect faith In him, and stood by him
bravely and undeviatingly until the fact
that he had wife living ia Scotland was
settled hey ond peradventure. Capt Blair,
the lawyer considers a man who was
thoughtless and unfortunate, rather than
eriminally deoeitful. Mr.. Shepard thinks
thai he really had doubts Of the legality
al his marriage TO Ann Baltic, and In the
course Of yearsof separation from her these
doubts we're strengthened, the wish becom.

Mr.. Shepard says that the point regard
ing his marriage urged against Capt. Blair
was Unnecessary, and that the other point
regarding the forged acceptance Of his re-
signation was sufficient for the court-mar-
dial 20 proceed upon. The question Of the
legality Of the marriage came rightly with
Ia the Jurisdiction Of the civil courts, and
II only the other charge had bean taken up
By the court martial, that would have been

from the army, and the question Of the
