dueer divorce suit was tried and decided
in New York on the 9th. Richard |. Aspin-
wall sued for divorce from Helen G. Aspin-
wall. who he AYERS he married five years ago.
She insists that she was not legally married
to Aspinwall; that the ceremony of marriage
was procured by fraud upon her, and that
abe was Helen G. Smith, maiden, until she
was married to Joseph l.. France in 1876.
The Rev. Frederick Oyertel testified that
on the Goth OF April, 1874. he married the
plaintiff and the defendant.
Mr.. France, the second husband, testified
he became acquainted with the defendant IN
the latter part Of the summer OF 1879. "Af-
ter Miss Smith and her mother came to
board where was. | was informed by her
that an engagement with Aspinwall was brok-
en-, or about to be, and ] proposed myself to
her, and was accepted. A few days after
was engaged to her. Aspinwail one evening
asked me ont to the doorsteps, and said he
wanted to speak to me. He said Nellie has
told me You want to marry her" Said |,
Yes. do "WeIl,' said he, Il suppose she
has told you about the little thing that hap
peded between us?' Said |, Yes, she told
me about it, ssWelI,' said he, i feel very
sorry that it ever happened. There is moth
ing in it, Said |, Richard, | hope not.
From what Won say about it. and from what
she says, should judge there Is not he
said he had been engaged to her for some
time. bnt that he didn't see as they were
ever likely TO be married, and if she wanted
to marry me he thought he would have to
give her up.
When asked if Aspinwali explained what
he meant by 1.-THE little thing that happened,
the witness said: HE asked if she had told
me about their going up before some
clergyman and going thrcugh form OF
marriage. He said no more as to the oe-
tails of it. He said there was nothing IN 1t.
..Was anything said between you IN re-
lation to Aspinwail and Miss Smith living
together as man and wife?'
ssIIe told me something about this "As-
pinwan' said ], i want you 10 tell the truth
as a man: Have yon ever lived with Miss
Smith as her husband2'' He said to me:
No: she is as pure a woman as ever the sun
shore upon / met Aspinwaii several times
after that before our marriage. In the course
of conversation, he asked me when we were
TO be married. / told him L didn't know
probably in the spring" The complaint was
dismissed, on the ground that if marriage
relation was proved between the plaintiff
and the defendant, and any offense against
it had been shown, it also proved that the
offense was committed with the plaintiff 8

IAirf'oh Woman or the House"

lAirf0h Woman or the House,
Before the first ray Of busliing day,
Who should come by but Kitty Chan.
With her cheek like the rose ON a bed OF sno",
And her bosom beneath like the sailing swan.-
] looked and looked, till my heart was gone.
With the foot of tile fawn she crossed the lawn.
Half confiding, aud half in fear:
And her eyes Of blue, they thrilled ME through,
One blessed minute, then like the deer
Away she darted, and left ME here,
Oh sun, you are late at your golden gate,
For you've nothing to show beneath the sky
To compare TO the lass who crossed the grass
OF the shamrock field ere the dew was dry
And the glance that she gave me as she
went by.

Congress Yesterday.

The Senate yesterday discussed the
question of amending bill to provide
for certain expenses of Congress by in
serting an appropriation to pay mileage
either to those Senators and Represeu-
tatives who entered upon their terms in
March last or else to all members Of
congress attending the extra session.
All propositions of this kind were ulti-
mately rejected or withdrawn. Several
speeches were made against the bill to
prevent the introduction of contagious
di eases. The House ordered that the
veto message should be taken up to-day
and passed several bills.
A House Democratic caucus decided
last night to refer the course of conduct
to be taken regarding the Army bill veto
to the joint caucus committee which
originally shaped the legislation to which
the President has objected. The caucus
speeches were generally in favor of in
sisting on the repeals. A Senate caucus
had previously referred the subject ol
the Legislative bill to the same commit.

MR.. HAYES veto message Is the most
ridiculous tumble of contradictions that
ever emanated from the White House.
1t is devoid of craftsmanship and lacking
in logic. We really wonder that the Re-
publican press do not denounce it for its
inconsistency. We are certain that the
Democratic press would not be content
should Democratic President infict
such document as that upon the party.
The views which Hayes entertains Of the
distinction between civil power and mill
tary power, says the World, is at least
unique. If a regiment of troops in mill
tary array act in aid of marshal he
calls the regiment civil power, but if
the same regiment appears at polling
place to suppress riot, under the COM
mand Of its colonel but accompanied by
a marshall he calls the regiment mill
tary power. What kind of a power the
President may think that part of the
army to be which is employed on the
frontier to maintain peace among the
Indian tribes is one of these things, we
suppose, that "no feller can find out"

country, from Maine to Missouri have
been seriously lamenting the hardships
of the negroes who have been emigrating
from Louisiana and Mississippi to Kan
sas, many Of whom are now in a starv-
ing and pitiful condition in their new
homes or on their way thither, without
the means Of going forward or returning
to their old homes. Collections have
been asked for them in many Of the cities
both North and South. Great and fire.
quent inquiry has been made to find out
the cause Of the sudden movement;hith-
erto without success. But 1t has trans
pred within the last two days that the
whole heartless affair was Republican
trick to make votes for that party in Kan
sas and other States. 1t Is now confessed
by the New York Times, the leading
Grant Republican paper, to have been
the work of Republican club, and the
poor negroes, the victims of this heart
less movement, after being induced to
leave their homes, were abandoned te
starve on the way, while an effort wa.
being made to charge this sudden emf
grafton to the manner of their treatment
by the whites in the South. This charge
was harped over all through the North
and formed the theme for Fred. Doug
lass lectures in various places in Mary
land and Virginia. Now, however, w
have it on good Republican authority, NJ
less than that of the New York Time
