GEORGE ELIOT'S MARRIAGE.
What Moncure u. Conway Says About

What Moncure ID. Conway Says About 1t.
Rev. NJ. D. Conway writing from Lon
don under date of May IA, says !: The mar
riage of George Eliot has produced an
effect which once might have given Car
lyle new. illustration of his theory that
genius is necessarily unconscious of itself
and its powers. = Mr.. Cross.
whom she has married, is said to be about
thirty-eight years of age George Eliot is
about sixty. A few years ago he made
tho acquaintance of Mr.. LIE YES and Miss
Evans. Their pleasant country-hOuse,
Whitley, was near Wcybridge. where Mr..
Cross resides. Mr.. Cross is a city man. a
sort Of banker, but not remarkable for
wealth he has house at Chelsea. where
the pair will probably reside, so that "The
PriOry' will be left us monument of it's
rich associations.
If Mrs. Cross has startl I'd tne portion of
the community by showing that she had
no transcendental theory about marriage,
and so given cause for people to remember
that the real Mrs. Lewes is still living, she
has equally amazed another part by choos-
ing to be married in a church-the most
fashionable church, too, in London-St
George, Hanover square. Here was the
reputed high priestess of positivism kneel-
ing before clergymen, and pronouncing
after him that she will live "after the
Lords holy ordinance She who has NJ t
believed in any Deity but humanity for
over twenty years. There has indeo d
been good deal of compliance of
that kind in this country. The
late Professor Clifford, however, when he
was almost compelled by family reasons
to be married in church, boldly devated
from what the clergyman bade him say.
and said: "After mans holy ordinance"
But it is difficult to imagine that any fam
lily pressure could have been put on George
Eliot, and we do not hear that the service
was varied by or for her. There was a re-
port that she was married in the names of
Lewes, but that is not true the signature
is Marian Evans. spinster" 1t is a rather
hard thing for her admirers to have their
idol come down from her pedestal and to
hear it said that the marriage in a fashion
able church was meant to try and recover a
conventional responsibility. Were this the
object she might have been better adviseda
She can never gain from the conventional
what she has lost among the unconvention-
al. 1t is. however, difficult to believe that
George Eliot really cares for what she has
treated up to the age Of sixty rs social
baubles.
Those who know Mr.. Cross say that he
is handsome, attractive and intelligent
man. He is well and favorably known
both in London and New York as bust
ness man. He has no pretensions to lit
erary or scholarly abilities. He has for
some time now attended to the finances of
the lady he has married. His friends,
equally with hers. appear to have been
taken by surprise. The marriage was at
tended by the group who generally look in
when a marriage is going on in st. George
church. Immediately afterward the pair
went on a tour on the continent, where
they are expected to remain several
months.

THE Republicans of this county who
were opposed to Thos. J. Davis's nOmi-
nation for district attorney are very
largely of the opinion that the 3O7 ma
jOrity which the return judges have cred
tied to him was fraudulent, and that he
is entitled to no recognition as the party
nominee. 1t would no doubt be very
easy to demonstrate that this is the case
and that three times this many of the
votes cast for DaviS-and probably as
many polled for his cOmpetitors-were
bogus under the law and the rules of the
party. At any rate his total vote was
only 3,6l7, and it is monstrous that such
a handful of the $4,000 voters of Lam
caster county should dictate the incum-
bent of an important office, when the
other $1,000 are so thoroughly convinced
of his utter unftness.
The people of this county ought to
know by this time what all important
Office that of district attorney is. They
have seen justice prostituted in it for
years for political or personal ends, and
they have seen that the court gives them
no protection, takes no cOgnizance of
the imposition practiced upon it and the
disgrace attaching to it. The Demo
cratic county committee on Monday
will doubtless fill the ticket with a
nominee for district attorney whom no
honest citizen of the county need hesi-
tate to vote for in preference to Davis.
They will certainly put on it man Of
fitness and integrity. Republicans who
profess to want decent administration
of public justice can vote for such one
without any surrender of principle and
to the positive credit of their party,
which is always injured by the election
of bad men. After the Democratic
nominee is named it will he seen if there
are enough righteous men in SOdom 10
save it.

which such gathering as that at Cincin-
