We rejoice to say that Mr.. Malone
and his administration party-that is
the new etyle-have met with a signal
defeat In the attempt to pass the grossly
unfair congressional reapportionment
bill in Virginia In this case the fight
turned somewhat upon personal con-
alterations, the friends of Mr. Massey,
the State auditor, resenting the political
prescription of that gentleman by the
Senator, and voting to defeat any meas
ure on which Mr.. Malone has set his
heart. But. after all, the victory is q
gain for political morality. 1t is re-
volt against the "boes' system, newly
introduced into Virginia by this friend
and ally of the Camerons and the Conk
lings Virginia is not quite ready to be
saddled and bridled by u man of that
stamp, and the success of one revolt will
lead to many.-zHe american, Phild.

A NOTE OF WARNINa.-Th Valley
Virgi'sade Is getting to be quite bold in
its utterances. Stung by sense of the
slight put upon the Republicans
whose votes enabled Malone to climb to
the dizzy height that turned his own
brain,-and Disguised with the IN
wonted arrogance of the Boss Readjus-
ter, it begins to manifest little of that
spirit Of independence that once dwelt
in the bosom of every white Virginian.
A little more tanning of the flame, may
serve to melt the shackles that the Boss
has forged upon the wrists of so many
white Republicans In this Common
wealth. Our contemporary says it
wants -
ITO draw attention to the fact that
the Republicans of Virginia; knowing
their power, do not intend to tamely
and abjectly submit to insult and :con
tumely either from Republicans, whose
better, or from those who have been in
vested with little brief authority in the
State through Republican votes and Re-
publican influence"
That is it: draw attention to the fact
that there are more white slaves in Vir-
ginia to. day, than were ever numbered
before in the history OF the old Com
monwealth. But Emancipation Day"
is coming, we trust.-Lynchbsrg Vir-
giaian.
THE LAPPED FURRow BEsT.-There
is some diversity of opinion as to how
the furrow should be laid, whether fiat
or Tapped, but there should be no dis
pute; the Tapped furrow Is in every way
better /; the land is left more loose there
will be better drainage under the sod in
times of flooding rains, and the labor of
narrowing to bring the land into filth,
Is very much less than when the furrow
is laid fiat. A sod turned down should
not be broken up till the first crop is
harvested, when it will be thoroughly
decayed. Whether land is plowed in
fall or spring, or for summer fallow, the
most perfect work can be done with
gang plow, harrow and cultivator. The
most perfect summer fallows are made
in this way. but there can be no sparing
of labor, as no vegetation should be al
lowed to grow. The question then
arises, when to plow and at what depth.
Soils are widely different in their com
position some can be plowed at almost
any time when frost is out of the ground
Others should be plowed only in proper
| condition of dryness. A light sandy
soil can be stirred without injurious eff
feet when quite wet, but clay soil is
ruined for the crop If plowed when wet.

THE COMET.-The new comet is not
visible to the naked eye as yet. In the
telescope it looks like a round body with
flowing tail, and resembling very
much the comet everybody is accustom-
ed to see in books. The nucleus is pref
ty large, but there Is no well-defined
centre. The star-like nucleus in the
centre Is wanting, but the tail is develop
ing very rapidly. Prof. Boss, of Albany
thinks that 1t Is going to develop very
large tail. and that it will be exceeding.
ly brilliant for short time. It will be
visible from the 18th of May to the 18th
of July, but from the LIST of June to the
middle it will be 80 near the sun as to
be scarcely visible. It is estimated that
the tail will be some four to five degrees
in length and probably longer than this.
AS it is now seen through the telescope
it must be considerably foreshortened.
It is now moving about two millions OF
miles per day. When it reaches it's
perihelion, on the 5th of June, Its veloc-
ity will be ever two hundred thousand
miles per second. This Is tremendous

ODonovan Rosa, the Fenian chief, who
some months ago encouraged the belief that all
the transatlantic ocean steamers, except those
of the Guion Line, for which he is agent,
were doomed to destruction by dynamite in
order that Ireland might be free, thus ex-
presses himself in the current number Of the
United Lfshman as to the assassination of
Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke:
There is no necessity for us to make any guesses
as to who or what was the cause OF the murder or
the execution of those men. Some say the murder
was committed by men in the interests OF the
landlords. or the Tories, Forster, or by the enc
mics OF the Land League; others say the execu-
tion was done by men who represent the outraged
victims OF tyranny and oppression one thing Is
certain-the deed was not done by those milk land
water Land Ieaguers who prate to us of freeing
Ireland and Kidding the country of landlordism
without striking blow. This blow now has been
struck By some men If they happen to be Irish
men who feel the wrongs OF their country and
would right them or ayenge them by desperate
means, they shall have word of condemnation
from us. They have dared the peril of doing 1t,
they are on the spot where the wrongs OF the ty
rant inflicted and felt, and there is no fear
that we are going to join the cowardly crowd of
buttons of indignation.
O'Donovan Rosa has not the courage of
the convictions he here expresses; if he had,
Instead of playing patriot in this cheap way
and at long taw, he would join the little
panu Oh assasslDs IN Ireland, play Dolo
hand, and take all the risk for his neck that
the occupation of murderer implies. But for
this he has too much prudence. ODonovan
Rosa is one of the class to whom Parnell
alluded in his recent speech in the House of
Commons, when he referred to the crime as
having been committed by men who abso-
lutely detest the cause with which he was
associated, and who devised and carried it
out as the desdliest blow in their power
against the hopes and the new course which
the government had initiated.

legal rights of the contractors and Of the
descendants Of the contracting parties should
be regulated and decided primarily by that
contract. OF course this portion OF the pro-
ceedings attending the union OF a man and
woman in no way interfeIes with the re-
ligious sanction all decent christians are
mindful to obtain, any more than business
deed of partnership interteres with the kind
of business the contracting parties shall fol-
low, or where they shall open store or
Office. 1t is undoubtedly well, however, TO
keep the two separate, as is done in France,
then the religious minister can require
certificate that all the legal forms have been
complied with, as prerequisite to his add
ing the blessing and sanction Of the church
Of God The introduction Of such system
would do much to allsy difficulties that
sometimes seriously annoy the clergy. The
st. Louis Globe Democrat, the other day, IN
its report Of the proceedings OF the Forty
third Episcopal Diocesan Convention, had
the following, DIR. Fulton being the speaker:
at would be well if the clergy could receive
from the civil power the authority possessed
in one other State by ministers of all de-
nominations-that of administering oaths to
those presenting themselves for marriage.
At present he and his brethren are often
placed at disadvantage. Last week he
had married couple whom he had never
seen before, and whose own word alone he
had TO take in regard TO their status. He
was satisfied with their statements yet he
might be deceived" Another clergyman
suggested the propriety of memorializiDg
Congress in relation to such matters. II is
certainly singular, seeing the immoralities
growing out of defective and conflicting laws
OF marriage and divorce, and especially IN
view of the disgraceful polygamy practices
of the Mormons, that the religious portion
of our population should have so long
manned apathetic upon this point. Their
duty in the question is clearly included in
the principles they acknowledge, and it is to be
wished that the clergy everywhere may unite
with the Episcopalians of Missouri in an
agitation that shall lead to the extirpation
Of scandalous Irregularities.

DEFECTIVE mAHRIAeE LAWS.

Defects in the forms of contracting mar
riage, and clashing and unsuitable laws upon
divorce, in the various States, are the causes
of much individual distress and even of ma
tional trouble. Difficulties in the way OF
establishing the fact that legal marriage
has taken place in individual cases is often
a cause of deep distress to offspring who de-
sire to think well of their parents, and TO
feel that their own standing in society Is I'M
stained with dishonor. In the transmission
of property, in the establishment of rights
of succession and in resistance to unj Just
claims, trouble and expense are perpetually
incurred through the loose way in which the
marriage contract is so commonly made.
The formidable difficulty that faces the ma
tion in the abominable polygamy question
has its origin in our defective marriage sys-
tenn. Had Congress long ago established
marriage laws for the Territories, de-
fined in what manner, by whom,
and before what officials the marriage
contract should be made, signed, regis
tered and certified TO, there would have
been no possibility of introducing the vile
custom of a polluted creature living with
half dozen women and calling them his
wives. We require few simple, clear, eff
hcient legalprovisions which, when complied
with, shall constitute a legal contract of
marriage. This contract should be regarded
as a matter simply Of legal contract, like
contract OF business partnership, and the
