Marriage and Breach of Promise

The marriage Institution, which should
promote happiness, and probably al
ways does on the wedding-day, is some
how or other failure afterward with a
great many people, as the number OF
divorces aud separations seem TO prove
This should not be, aud perhaps il will
MT be in the "good time coming"
when, il is to be hoped, mankind will
be wiser At present we are far behind
pagan Rome in having n happy mar
riage system, II il be fact, as historians
say il Is, that in that famous empire a
divorce was thing unknown for hund-
reds Of years. What Christian nation
can with truth say this? and echo an
swers, pWdt9 II is an old proverb that
matches are made in heaven" aud
perhaps this might apply TO pagan
Rome, but in Christian countries il
would almost seem as IL matches were
made in-the other place! for some
marriages are great deal more Internal
than heavenly.
Not only are divorces common among
Christians, but every little while we
hear Of "breaches Of promise" on the
part of those who thought they would
get married aud soon afterward re-
pented and thought they wouldn't

IL, as appeared by the papers recently.
A Washington lady brought a suit to
recover $50 900 Of a United States Senq-
tor for promising to marry her, as she
says, and then refusing 10 keep his
word. A grave and learned Senator,
and an old man, too, ought TO do better
at bis time of life, especially after the
lesson given by the Brooklyn Church
the lady, also, will be thought no better
of for going into court and relating her
private life; and newspapers can be
more profitably filled than by publish
ing domestic aud family gossip. But

TnR RESOLUTIONS adopted by the
American Iron and Steel Association are
about right in reference to the favOra
Bile balanc" of trade, the protective tar.
if, and their relations to the p.rma-
hence of the specie basis. But it is proper
to say that this is only so under ex-
isting circumstances, and not absolute
ly as matter Of principle. For the
whole financial and commercial status
Of the Republic has undergone nigh
ty change, which is still IN progress,
and this revolution promises to secure
permanence to finance and currency
mainly by the actual strength Of our
industry and resources. 1t will not
now do to admit any p-radventure
about the maintenance OF the specie
basis. The favorable balance Of trade
is not the result Of protection alone,
but Of commercial enterprise, the sue.
cess Of which was achieved by friends
OF home industry acting on new meth

THAT KENT COUNTY tax default seems
very hard to adjust, Mr.. Dean having
introduced still another resolution in
the House directing the State Treasurer
to collect the amount defaulted with in
terest, and the resolution was laid
upon the table until Monday next,
when Kent county finances will proba-
bly, get another airing. As it has been
so p-rsstently stated that Kent county
has the money lying away ready to
be paid over when called for, it is
hoped the State Treasurer will demand
it Immediately, and with interest too
as Mr.. Deans resolution calls for. We
stated in recent article that according
to the showing of the correspondent OF
the every Evening"" there were
$949.99 in the county treasury Of Kent
county, or at least we intended to say
so, but typographical error prevented
us. In this We were entirely guided
by the correspondents own figures,
but since that time we have come in
possession of the State Auditors re-
port for 1875, which only shows bal
ance in the treasury at the time of set
Element Of $306.92 This does not look
very favorable to handing over $l2, 900

Last year the Democrats in Congress
clogged the wheels Of the government
10y pretended desire for economy, an
now they seem just as determined t
ruin the nation by extravaganza. Mr.
Sherman estimates that in the mex
fiscal year the revenue will be s27 900,
600 less than the expenditures, and a.
bnt few working days remain yet fol
Congress some provision must be mad
to meet this deficit, and Mr.. Sherman
suggests the issuing of bonds under the
circumstances as the most speedy and
desirable plan. Notwithstanding the
fact the government is already crippled
the Democracy proposes "a reduction of
thirty-three per cent. on the tax on to-
bacco which will still far add s., 600,
zoo more to the deficiency. The issu-
ing Of bonds which only increases the
National debt is not pleasant alter
native but there is no escape from it.
Cutting down the tobacco tax with
one hand, and enlarging expenditures
with the other, is process whose re-
suits must be felt. An addition to the
debt will be a rather curious council
tary on the business improvement
which has set in, but it only shows the
of the Democratic party to
run the government on an economical
basis. 1t is not unlikely that the de-
ticit III the receipts and issuing new
four per cent bonds may OIen up the
ireenback question again in the coun-
try, and it may yet become all import.
ant factor in the next Presidential cam
paign. The action OF the Democrats
shows that they care more for their par
tvs success than for reform and econo-
my in the government Of the nation.
1t is very unfortunate that the finance
question will he reopened at a time
when great interests, public and pri-
vate, require that it he considered clos
el. Disturbing elements will be put
in motion just when business people
are congratulating hemselves that the
Hanger is over, but it il fortunate on

Bayard's Independence.

Senator Bayard has once more risen
above party prrjudicrs and protested
against lacking the repeal of important
laws to appropriation bills, and be-
tween him and Senator Thurman rGth-
er an acrimonious debate sprang up.
Mr.. Bayard argued that no such inca
surrs as those proposed should he sad
died upon appropriation bills. He was
heartily in favor Of repeating the cleo
ton laws and the jurors test oath, bat
was not in favor Of doing violence to
secure their repeal. There was a proper
and orderly way to secure what was
desired in this regard, aud h. had no
doubt that if bill to repeal the jurors
test oath Should he brought forward
it could be passed at the present
session. As no one, however, Sc
riously objected to the repeal of
the test oath, he would not object to
inserting repeating clause in one OF
the appropriation bills. He was salts
fed that the determination to carry
the repeal of the Election laws on the
appropriation bills would result in the
failure Of the attempt and the defeat
of important and necessary legislation.
He had no sympathy with such meth
DDS, and expressed purpose not to he
bound 10y any action which had for its
object the insertion i'll an appropriate ON
bill, of matter entirely foreign to it,
regardless Of the consequences which
might follow.
Mr.. Thurman rival Candidate for
the Presidency on the anything TO win .
p rirciple," violently attacked Mr..
Bayard's position and favored putting
such questions to tn. appropriation bills
md sticking to it to the last.
1t is noticeable that Senator Bayard's
,rgan, the Every Evening OF yester-
lay, had nothing to say in favor of the
'ery creditable stand taken by his {
thief. Had the senator gone with the
Bourbon wing of the party, his organ s
lere would have been loud in his praise l
The New York "Times" in referring to
e nator Bayard's stand says, at. now
GEMS probable that the Democrats
ave gone too far, and that they may
nd their scheme break down under
be criticism of their own Senators. 1t |
, true that the House possesses the
ower to insist on its predetermined =,
curse, but the plan is so revolutionary t
hat it could never he carried Out 4
gainst the determined opposition of ,
uch Democrats as Bayard, Merrimon,
nd Wallace. 1t will be found, too,
nat these gentlemen have ainuch more
orrect notion of what will really ben. :,
