last Eve years than during the first i've, ana the
pophihtion increased between 1870 and 1850
about 2 0 per cent. In the old slave States the
iportase OF divorces during the last five years
If the period over the first five was 22S per
cent with an increase in population OF only
SO per cent. In the remaining States and Ter
ritoties, west Of the Mississippi, there was an
increase Of 255 per cent, but the increase in
population was 81 per cent in ten years alone.
These facts seem to open new field OF inquiry
as to the social condition of the Southern people.
The impression prevails among Tory mem-
hers of the House of Commons that divorce IS
an American vice, but even the most superficial
glance at the subject shows that the tendency
to loosening of the marriage tie is to DO seen
in Europe as we'll as in America, though not to
the same extent. The divorce question is .
social phenomenon, and not local difficulty.
While on the one hand the churches and tho
social reformers are arousing themselves to
fight against divorce, there are not wanting
persons of high character who are bold enough
to attack the very institution OF marriage TO
use Mr.. Gladstone's words: ".The greatest and
deepest Of all human controversies Is the mar
rage cohtroveays which, as he says, Is surg
ing m OH ali sides around u.s." In Europe, as
in America, there is loud call for further re-
striotions upon divorce.

for example, a few years ago there we're seven
black cot1icts TO one white but as lures pc
came little less rigorous In giving tho negroes
"the butt end Of the law" the proportion Oh
white convicts has increased to nearly one
third. In that State the theft Of pig, calf
or a lamb is penitentiary offence, and the
theft of property exceeding $40 in value is
grand larceny. Similar severity marks the adj
ministradOn of justice in many Southern States
The most striking example of this ia 10 be
found In the recent report issued by Governor
Richardson of South Carolina, giving a state
n1ent of his pardons, and the reasons therefor.
during the last year. Out Of S94 penitentiary
convicts in the State, all but 81 are blacks.
Seventy negroes were pardOned last year, 90 Of
whom were undergoing life sentences, and l B
had been sentenced for ten years or more.
Among them were two colored children, nine
and ten years Of age respectively, who had BEEN
sentenced 10 Imprisonment for life on pleading
guilty to burglary and the theft Of articles not
exceeding ST. in value. One negro was SEN
fenced five years ago TO imprisonment for life
for stealing ten or twelve pounds Of -four. He
was released on the ground that his punishment
had been severe enough. Another, whose wife
and children were starving, broke into store
where there were many valuable goods, but
took only little bacon and -four He was sen.
fenced for life, but pardoned by the Governor
after four years imprisonment. Another col.
ored man was sentenced to twelve years for
arson, on evidence which, IL Is safe to say, could
never have convicted white man. He proved
an abb by ten witnesses, but certain foot
prints near the scene Of the fire we're very like
bis, and he was sent to prison. securing a
pardon only after three years. A lad was
accused Of murder eleven years ago, but his
employers testified that he was four miles away
at the time the crime was committed. After
ward he was rearrested and tried without their
knowledge, convicted aud sentenced to be
hanged, but was finally granted imprisonment
for life as a special boon. After unceasing
efforts his employers have succeeded in Secur-
ing a pardon.
1t is almost incredible that such crimes can
be committed in the name of Justice IN Chris
tian country. To condemn mere infants 10
Imprisonment for life for the most venial Of
fences is an outrage upon humanity which it
Is impossible to contemplate without shudder
These abuses are by no means confined to South
Carolina. They sxiyb In other Southern States,
In many Of which, in spite Of all that has been
said and written, the convict system still re-
tans much of It's brutal character. How long
must this continue?

A MBMoRaBLE STATE TRIAL.

The trial Of General Botilsnger before the
Senate will be the first impeachment proceed
ings Instituted under the Constitution OF 1870.
Article XII provides that the President Of the
Republic, Minister or any person accused OF
plottine against the State shall be tried before
the Senate. The President can be impeached
for high treason. A Minister can be accuSeu
by the Chamber of Deputies OF crimes com
mitted in the exercise Of his public functions
and then he can be judged by the senators
Moreover, by decree of the PreSideno rem
dered in Council of Ministers, the Senate can
be constituted court Of impeachment to pro-
nounce Judgment on any person arraighed Tor
crimes committed against the security OF the
State. There are warrants In the French
Constitution, from which we have been text
uaily quoting, for the proceedings instituted
against General Boulanger and authorized oS
the Chamber of Deputies. Precedenta for such
an impeachment trial are lacking but with the
ucidity characteristic Of the French mind the
Government prosecutor, the Deputies and the
Senators will undoubtedly fix upon method
of procedure that will be warranted by the
usage of their law.
As Deputy General B6nlanger enjoys entire
immunity from prosecution for opinions eN-
pressed or votes given in the exercise oil MS
functions us duly elected representative OF The
French people. Article XIII of the COnsntu-
ton protects every Senator and Deputy to that
extent, and Artacle XIV declares that no mem
Der of either Chamber during the term Of legis-
lative session shall be prosecuted or arrested
in criminal or correctional matter, except with
the Authority Of the Chamber Of which he is a
member, or in case of fragrant crime" The
Chamber of Deputies has authorized by vote
of 355 to 2O8 the prosecution OF General
pouianHer, 10 that the restrictions imposed by
these Articles no longer protect him. lie can
not be held responsible for any utteraDce or
vote in his capacity as a legislator, but he can
be tried on the general charge OF conspfing
with leaders Of the Patriot League against the
existing Government The Senate being In
sympathy with the Ministry Of the day, he has
apticipated an unfavofable verdict in his case
and has found an asylum in Belgium where
he will be free TO issue his manifestoes and
conduct his political movement.
The circumstances Of this impeachment trai
Will render II a most impressive event fraight
with m0ment0us consequences. The action OF
the Ministry and Chambers, as we have shown
without reference TO it's political expediency OF
wisdom, is grounded Upon direct warrants Of
the Constitution. General Boulanger, for bis
part has ptddehtly withdrawn from Paris while
the case Is proceeding, and announced that he
will remain In exile until the autumn elections
He leaves the Ministers free 70 secure his con-
viction By the Senate, II they can do co. and
reserves for himself liberty Of action during
the approaching political canvass.

SOUTHERN JUSTICE AND THE NEGRO.


Now and then facts come to the surface show
ing that the loss of his vote is not the only
wrong which the negro suffers in the South.
There Is abundant proof that in The admins
bration Of jtstce he is subjected TO painful dis
crimination. The number of negro convots in
the Southern peGitentiaries and chain gangs Is
out of all proportion 30 the population, even
considering the relative ignorance and irrespOn-
ibility Of the blacks. One explanation Of this
Is that In many Of the Southern States the petty
offences most commonly committed by them,
such az the stealing Of chickens or pigs, are
punished with extraordinary severity, and it
has been declared that the profit derived BY
the State from the chain gangs has had the
effect unconSciously perhaps, to encourage
sentences for long terms. Favoritlsm TO white
oonviots, even when guilty Of the moro serious
Grimes, has not been uncommon. The death
rate in almost every Southern. State shows not
only q shocking mortality among convicts as
oofnpated with the records Of Northern States,
due no doubt to the britalities Of the lessee
system, but shows also that the bulk Of this
mortality IL among the blacks.
II IL easy 10 say, Of course, that the Southern
negroes are ignorant and shiftless, and some
times vicious. But the blacks In the North,
many OF whom are also ignorant make no such
record In the police courts. On the contrary.
their reputation, on the whole, Is that Of o
docile race. In some Of the Southern States
public sentiment has already had the effect ID
soften the operation Of the law With regard to
the pss&1 offences at hsKrVss. In Mississippi
