Mr.. Eaton'S Speech,

We are constantly msled by the false re-
ports sent out to The country by the corre-
spondents OF the Republican papers in New
York, concerning speeches made in Con-
gress by Democratic statesmen. The last
instance was their description OF the scene
ia the Senate when MIR. EATON, Of Connec'
i;cut, made bis last speech. 1t was repre-
scntcd that Mr.. EATON had been terribly
worstcd. We have just read the speech,
including all the short colloquies between
him on the one side and BLAINE, CoNKLING,
Dawes, PLATT, and others on the other
side, and We can confidently declare
that he was not worsted in a single
encounter of wits. Mr. EATON is Demo
cYat OF Democrats-one OF the ante-bellun
type-a Connecticut RAN. TUCKER. He
maintained his ground throughout in the
debate we are aliudiGg to. Never an inch
did he yield. He quoted DANIEL WEBSTER,
HENRY CLAY. GEORGE WASHINGTON, W. II
HARRISON, JOHN TYLER, and various other
statesmen, to prove that they had some Of
them called the CONSTITUTIONS "compact,'
and others OF them the union OF the States q
.coniederacy." In fact, we are inclined to
think that no better campaign document
than Dir. EAT0N's speech can be needed by
tie Democrats Of the northern States.

presidency to those for county constable

| shell, and we see, in these United States,
what this management is bringing US to-
All offices being elective, even that OF Judge,
in what lies cur particular hope OF the future
for honest and economical government?
| We see only too plainly what it has done
and is doing in this Commonwealth, where
| in old times we boosted so much OF the in
| tcgrity and high honor of our people. We
made, in our corporate capacity, 4 debt fol
money lent lis to build railways, turnpikes,
the canal, and other internal improve
mcnts. all of which we are using
to this day. AS security for this
QeDC We gave Our CIeQNoI 10 lauSI-
bic collateral, such as is observed in
transaction between man and man, but
simply our faith, and thus made it the most
binding obligation possible to be gwen.
And yet we have seen bow some of the
managers OF universal suffrage have work
I'd to prove to the q" dear people" what Il
g. proper thing it was to get rid OF the obll-
cation of this debt, and how in the aeila-
ton OF this question decentralization has
spread throughout our borders. We
were shown Il letter lately from one
OF our best men in the country.
In it occurs the following: "Our courts
have been for years, knowingly or other
wise, undermining anG destroying the in-
teSrity OF the people by allowing the court
room to be Used rs an arena for the sharp
practice OF lawyers, in destroying or OBJ
WAITING the validity OF contracts, or protect
ing and defending unblushing fraud"
When judges did not have to depend upon
elections and those who managed them for
the tenure OF their offices such complaint
was unknown in Virginia.
II it is our fate to have to continue under
such state Of thiDgs-and we see nothing
that indicates anything to the contrary-our
best people, as unpleasant as the work may
be. must see to it that what is possible to be
done to mollfy the evil OF irresponsible
elections is done. 1t would be shameful to
surrender without a struggle.

Judge Eushes's Opinion.

The Cincinnati Commercial OF Monday
dcyotes two columns to Judge HUGHEs's
opiaion in the KINNEY case. Ii is calm
ard carefully article. At the end
Of it the Commercial ventures this criti-
cism
How far this doctrine OF the right Of a
STATE to pay no rcsrect to the laws OF an
other State might be carried would be an
Interesting subject Of speculation. For
example, some States might make lawful
maj riagcs within degrees OF consanguinity
tirat are not lawful in Virginia, but are pun
iSGuble by fine and imprisonment. Suppo-
sing two people thus united should after
ward remove to Virginia and become citi-
ZoG. thereof and amenabiet 10 her laws, does
Judge Hughes pretend to say that they
could be arrested, tried, convicted, and SEN
fenced to the penitentiary, as Kinney and
his wife have been, for an act lawful IN the
Slate OF which they were originally cti-
zens?"
We will at once furnish the Commercial
with an Oho-and-New-York case which
answers its question. One BAKER had mar
ried in Ohio woman who was resident
OF Ohio, but the couple soon removed 10
Naw-York. After a brief period OF mar
red life there the wife returned home and
sued BAKER for a divorce in Ohio, the place
OF the marriage. Under the laws Of that
State it was allowable to give BAKER i'm
piled notice of the divorce action through
an advertisement Of its tendency. She
gave the notice and got the divorce. Both
married again. BAKER was convicted OF
bigamy in New York, and the Court Of APP
peals of New York recently decided that
he was rightfully convicted. She is living
undisturbed under the laws OF Ohio. So it
is clear that divorce may be lawful in Ohio
which no New York court will or can re-
SDnct. a a-. - .
