Rhode Island .PoIItIcs.

state election occurs in Rhode Island on
the third day of April. 1t will be an imnor-
eant and interesting election for more rea-
SONS IMAM one. Rhode Island is naturally
Republican State, but in the last three or
Tour years there have been factional omar.
rels In the party that have once turned the
State over to the Democrats, and at other
times have imperilled Republican success
This year the situation seems more com
plicated than ever. Two new and great
conditions combine to this end. In the
first place, the constitution of the State has
been amended, and 1000 or more natural
lied citizens will this year cast their maiden
votes In the city of Providence the number
Of voters will increase from 10000 to about
2l,O0O. These new voters probably hold the
balance Of power; and how they will use il
is very uncertain. A still more uncertain
factor than the influx Of new voters is the
temperance question. For about two years
Rhode Island has had in her constitution
prohibitory amendment. 1t has not operated
70 the satisfaction of large proportion Of
the people OF the State, and this year the
Legislature voted to resubmit the amend
nent to the people. The Legislature being
Republican, it was felt by some prominent
members OF the party that the resubmission

Letter from Washington TO General

TO The Editor of the Press:
The following letter written by President

General Knox at Thomaston. The original
is 10 the archives of the Maine Historical
Society. 1t was presented by Augustus C.
Robbins, Esq, Of Brunswick. in 1885.
1t is of peculiar interest at this time in
view Of the approaching centennial of the
PRESIDENTS first Inauguration. 1t shows the
interest he took in American manufactures.
The letter is especially valuable to the few

Will 1t Pave the Way for Second Mar
riage in New Jersey?
Charles w. Bigh, an assistant weigher
in the Custom House and located at
Brooklyn, was placed on trial in the
Court of General Sessions this morning.
He was indicted for bigamy. He mar
ried Julia Walters. a prepossessing
blonde, August IL, 1878, at Brooklyn. He
became tired of her less than two years
ago, and he went to Chicago and there
obtained 4 divorce.
On August 90, of this year he was mar
ried to Kate Gerhard in this city by the
Rev. o. j. White, and as soon as wife No.
l learned of it she caused warrant to be
issued for his arrest, and Detective Clos
took him in custody in Brooklyn and
brought him here on requisition.
Counsellor W. d. Daley, appeared this
morning for Bligh. ana asked to have the
case adjourned until Monday to enable
him to get certified copies of the records
of his diverse from the Illinois courts.
Mr.. Winfield, objecting, urged that in
Illinois Bligh was a divorced man and
free to marry whom he pleased, but that
in New Jersey he was not free, and his
second marriage was bigamy.
After the court declined 10 postpone
the case and several witnesses were eX-
amined, including wife No. l. TO prove
the second marriage. Mr.. DAILY requested
the Court to grant recess until one
o'clock to permit him to examine the law
bearing on the case, he not having had
time to do it before. The court so or
dered.
Judge Lippencott directed the jury TO
convict the prisoner on the ground that
the operation of the divorce was subject
to the statute of any other State so far as
the contraction of a second marriage
is concerned. A Chicago divorce did not
authorize the defendant to come into
New Jersey and marry second time, in
violation of the law forbidding marriage
after divorce
