TOOLED TIIE rROTESTANTs.

A London dispatch says: '"The move

the remarriage of divorced persons re-
ceived remarkable though diverting
exemplihcation this wssk
Miss Leila Bayard Cr0oke, a cousin
of the former American ambassador,
was to be married in a fashionable
church-St. Mary Abbotts, Kensing-
ton-by Canon Grant, who came esps-
cially from Portsmouth to conduct the
ceremony, as CanCn Pennefather, the
vicar of the church, had refused to Of
flciate.
Thirty clergymen gathered in the
church TO protest against the ceremony,
as the brideg0om-elect, Fitzroy Lyon,
an officer of the First Life Guards, had
divorced mis- first wife. But the bridal
party never appeared and the tand of
protesting clergymen congratulated
themselves on a glorious victory.
However, they learned later, to their
deep chagrin, that while they we're
waiting in ST. Mary Abbotts the oore-
ony was quietly performed in another
church a quarter OF a mile away.
The action of these clergymen has
caused a violent controversy in church
circles, their opponents contending that
they have no right to adopt intimidat-
ing tactics against the performance Of a
ceremony which is legal under both the
Protestant canonical law and the civil
law of the country. Their conduct
would be brought before the ecclesias-
tical courts were not the church au-
thorities afraid Of an adverse judgment,
which would cause irreparable dissen-
sion among the clergy, an Increasingly

To THE BOARD or DIRECTORS OF
THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE
PRISON:
We, the undersigned, members OF
the committee appointed by your
honorable body At your last meet
ing, to visit the State farms in Hall
fax and Northampton counties, re-
GREETING the necessity which has
caused one OF our members to re-
sign, beg leave respectfully to re-
port:
First. That We found all the farms
we'll advanced in preparation for
planting the varions crops.
Second, That the farms are all in
excellent condition rs to ditching.
Third, That . large amount Of
damming has been done and the
dams on the Northampton and Gale
donia farms are in fine condition:
the dams on the Halifax farm are in
need of repair, and your committee
would recommend that they be re-
paired as soon as the laborers can
be spared from the crops, for the
crops on this farm in the present
condition of these dams are subject
to any ordinary freshet in Roanoke
river.
Fourth, We find that Capt. W. J.
Bradshaw, Capt. G. j. Rhem and
Maj. j. II. McIver are men of special
experience in the management OF
the convicts; and as far as your com
mittee is able to Judge, they are
most excellent farmers.
Fifth, We would suggest, that, il
it is the sense of your Board tina,
these gentlemen should be retained
for the present, then that you retain
as many as possible of the other en-
ployees; and We would further ash
that the supervisors be given thu
right to appoint and discharge al
employees under them, with as littl,
interference as possible from youl
board, rs We have ascertained tha
there is considerable friction already
by those recently appointed ant
others desiring to be appointed: w
make the suggestion, because We be
lieve their turmoil now going on ant
daily changes being made, vii
greatly retard if not permanently in
jure the cultivation of the farms
An employee can not be controlle,
or corrected by one of the supervis
orr, it he feels that his appointmsn
comes from other sources; and tha
he cannot be discharged at the vii
of the supervisors; or in other word
we feel that it is perhaps more i'm
portant that employees should ow
their places to the supervisors thal
that the present supervisors shoul
be retained. Whoever is in charg
lshould be in full charge of his re
spective farm, so far as the en-
ployes and eonvicts are concerned
Sixth, We found agreeably to iu
formation from Mr.. Leszar abou
100 acres in wheat on the fou
J, farms with very little small grain Q
any other character.
| Seventh, We found all of tn
farms short in corn, which necess
tates considerable outlay in the bs
|, ginning.
Eighth, We find that some of tn
, teams are in low order, and that th
number is not sufficient to run th
present crops, and that others mu,
. be purchased at once.
, All of which is respectfully sui
!, mitted.
