The fashion which forbid tue widows
On marrying again to appear at the altar
ia bridal veil is derived, like many Of
cur customs, from medieval superstitions
The Church regarded the second mar
rage of woman as inaieting stain up
On her womanhood. FOR this reason,
While the virgin bride stood at the altar
,ecked in all the insignia Of virgiuity--
White veil, flowing hair, crown (wreath)
,ngloyed hand-the widow who married
lgain was allowed none Of these, and
was especially required to appear at th'
altar gloUed, in order that her hand
which second marriage was supposed
to pollute. should not touch the pure
sancti6ed hand Of the representative o
the Church or his sacred robes Of office
This is curious superstitious and lik
oilers of its sort produces an effect upol
our habits and manners long after tn
cause Is forgotten.

mise may be regarded as the entering
wedge to giving the Democrats tbe con-
troll of Louisiana in the next election
Now contrast with this the action of the
Democratic party in one State, in relation
to Judge Frazier. On the assembling
Of the Legislature Of lS69-70, it being
the first Democratic Legislature since the
war closed, among the first acts it did,
was to remove the disabilities of Judge
Frazier, imposed by his impeachment and
conviction, and be was re>instated to all
his rights, and has been honored as q
martyr, while those who tried and con
victed him, have been denounced as
tyrants. No impartial man can take
these two parallel cases and contrast tie
action taken by the representative men OF
the two great parties, without being
forced to admit the right to be With the
party in power, The Republican party
has in both these instances given indu-
bitable evidence that it is party OF law
and order, holding principles higher than
mere party success and possessing pa,
triotism enough to uphold and enforce
the law and do the right though it strikes
down their professed party friends.
While the Democratic party have given
out, like indubitable evidence Of its
ability and determination to disregard
the law and honor those who trample
under foot the most sacred rights Of the
people, as did judge Frazier, simply be-
cause he was and is democrat, and of
the same household of faith. In the face
of these facts all the invcctions hurled
against the Republican party by the
democratic press must fall harmless on
the ear Of the American people, if they
have real desire to perpetuate Repub-
lican institutions as ordained and handed
down to us by the men of '76. And all

ic party to manufacture political capital
for the campaign of 1876, prove ebortive
and leave them weaker year hence than
now. The transactions Of to-day will
have passed and new issues will confront
them, which they will be the less pre-
pared to meet, because Of the want of
confidence their past history will beget.
No political party could stand the test of
of public criticism, if the acts of individ.
ual members were takeA as the policy OF
the party. The democratic party would
not agree to be thus judged and it should
not ask the people to judge its adversary
by different rule from that it would be
judged by. The acts of the individuals
including Judge Durell, in Louisiana,
who claims to be of the Republican party,
have been justly repudiated aud con-
demned by the American people, irres.
pcctive of party affiliations, and the voice
Of condemnation has come from no quar-
ter with greater emphasis than from a
Republican Congress, representing the
Republican party of the nation, against
the action Of the Louisiana party which
favored no warrent in law when brought
to the test. In the hands of such party
the country is safe, and in its continual
control, We have the best guarantee of a
popular government, peace at home and
abroad, and continual advancement in
all our material interests which tend to
make us great as nation, and happy and
prOperous as people.
