ONE of the leaders of the Democracy of
the Indiana Legislature is Horace Heffren,
editor of the Salem Times who, in 1866.
printed an article relative to the death of
Lincoln in which he said that at the last
day, 1--WE shall see the vile buffoon, the fid-

which, he went on to say, would be consign-

worst torture that can be given; and John
Wilkes Booth, who once took charge of your
case, and did righteous act, is hereby ap-

A PECULIAR plea growing out of the SUI
premacy of military ever civil law in Vir-
ginia twenty years ago was made in Rich
mond court the other day. One Trava was
charged with bigamy, and his counsel sought
to get him off on the ground that, inasmuch
as his first marriage had been solemnized
within the Federal lines, by Federal chap
lain, there was no evidence that it was a
real marriage. They held that, as Trava
was in military camp, he could not have
obtained license for the ceremony, and,
moreover, that before the State could prose-
cute him for bigamy it must prove that the
chaplain was actually minister of the Cos
pei. 1t seems, however, that the Virginia
Assembly, in 1851, passed law providing
that, in case of the presence of the enemy, a
Justice of the Peace might issue licenses:
and the Court ruled that it was for the Jury
to determine whether the marriage was
licensed or hot. 1t is likely that the validity
of other marriages contracted during the
war are as much in doubt as this one seems
to have been.

Chiefly Concerning the Flint & Pere Mar
quette Railroad.
[saginaw lMich.l Courier


The year 1882 is reckoned as among the
most prosperous OF the Flint & Pere Mar
quette Railroad, thoroughfare in which
the City of East Saginaw is largely interest
ed and to which the city is largely indebted
for its prosperity. In this city are located
the general offices and headquarters of the
road, the operating and managing officers
Of the road reside here aud are esteemed cit
liens. The road crosses the State from
Monroe at the southeast, to Ludington on
the Lake Michigan shore, traversing a re-
gion rich in all the resources that go to make
up great commonwealth. There are also
numerous branches, chief among which is
the Bay City division, Otter Lake division,
Saginaw & Mt. Pleasant Railroad, operated
by the Flint d Pere Marquette; the Harri-
son branch, and the Manistee Railroad.
Through the courtesy of the officers of the
Flint & Pere Marquette the Railroad Com
missioner Of the Courier is enabled to pre-
sent for the information of the general pub
lie some facts and figures showing the oper-
ations of the road during 1882, showing
that is gratifying to all interested in con-
Germ that has doue so much to add to our

Total main line branches and sid
ings (miles) ..........-........, .,...,,, 4o5.OZ
The discrepancy of several miles of track
in the above total with that given on which
earnings of the road are based is accounted
for in the fact that several miles OF new
track on branches of the road were COM
pleted in December last, and did not come
under the mileage in the earnings account.
EQUIPMENT, REPAIRS, ETC.
The equipment of the road is in first-class
condition and in this respect IS surpassed
by no line of road in the WesC, and equaled

Excellent nominations were made for
members of the City Council at the Repub-
lican ward cancuses last evening, and the
good work will doubtless be completed in the
convention of delegates who meet to-day to
nominate candidates for Mayor and members
of the School Comittee. Concerning the
candidate for Mayor there is no controyer-
sy. Mr.. Libby has made an admirable mag
istrate and will receive the unanimous vote
of the convention. Some difference of opin-
ion exists in regard to the School Commit
tee, but the contest between candidates is
entirely friendly, and we have the faith to
believe that the best men will be named.

NEW STEAMERS.
During 1882 the Flint & Pere Marquette
placed line of steamers on Lake Michigan,
between Ludington and Milwaukee, making
the latter city the western terminus of the
road. These steamers, named the F. & P.
NJ. No |, and F. d p. M. No. 2, were con-
structed at a cost of $65, 900 each, and they
are owned ana absolutely controlled by the
Flint & Pere Marquette Company. They
are strong as wood and iron can make them,
are unsurpassed as sea boats by any craft on
the great unsalted seas. and make trips in
all weather. They are now running regu-
larly. The following will give some idea OF
the amount of traffic transported by these
boats: From October 10Th to December
31st. 1882, there was forwarded from Mil
waukee and received at Ludington 74,049
bbls -four Tin barrels and sacks probably
two-thirds of it in sacks for export, 1. e., for
the European trade, 23.39S sacks bran, and
12,03S sacks feed; in addition to this large
quantity of pork, lard and merchandise.
The boats went on the route September
18th and in the period Sept. 18th to Dec.
